US, Venezuela are reportedly seeking post-Chávez thaw
Roberta S. Jacobson, the top US State Department official in charge of Latin American affairs, held a long telephone conversation with Venezuela's Vice-President and Chávez-designated heir Nicolás Maduro
Roberta S. Jacobson, the top US State Department official in charge of Latin American affairs, held a long telephone conversation with Venezuela's Vice-President and Chávez-designated heir Nicolás Maduro on November 21, where the two discussed, among other things, the possibility of restoring ambassadors, the sources said.
The talks, which were encouraged by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, started with a US diplomatic approach to Maduro's office asking whether the vice-president would take a call from Jacobson, the sources added. The answer was positive, and the telephone conversation took place shortly thereafter.
Asked whether she had talked with Maduro, Jacobson replied, "Yes. We are always interested in having a more productive relationship with Venezuela, starting with counternarcotics, and in order to have a more productive relationship you have to talk to people."
Details of the talks come as reports from Havana, where Chávez recently underwent a fourth surgery for cancer, indicate that he is experiencing a slow recovery. Maduro said Sunday that Chávez suffered "new complications" from a respiratory infection and his condition was delicate.
The behind-the-scenes talks were originally reported in a December 12 column by Venezuela's daily El Universal columnist Nelson Bocaranda, and in a December 14 article by former US ambassador Roger Noriega, a conservative Republican, in the online magazine of the American Enterprise Institute.
Noriega referred to the Jacobson-Maduro telephone conversation toward the end of his article, and lambasted US "career diplomats" for allegedly "legitimizing a narco-authoritarian regime" in Venezuela.
In addition, Noriega reported that Jacobson's deputy Kevin Whitaker had subsequently had a conversation in Washington with senior Venezuelan diplomat Roy Chaderton. US officials confirm that this conversation took place.
In his article, Noriega urged the US Congress to intervene to stop the talks, claiming that "an unconditional rapprochement may undercut efforts to indict senior (Venezuelan) officials for their drug crimes." Suggesting that Washington should not recognize Chávez's successor "until he promises to adopt democratic reforms," Noriega added that "career diplomats may get their wish of normalizing relations with Caracas, even if it confers legitimacy on a dangerous, undemocratic regime in Venezuela."
According to US officials, during the Jacobson-Maduro talks in which both sides expressed hopes for a speedy recovery of Chávez the Venezuelan vice-president offered to exchange ambassadors on occasion of the beginning of President Barack Obama's second term. Jacobson, in turn, is said to have proposed a step-by-step approach to improve bilateral relations, starting with greater cooperation in counter-narcotics, counter-terrorism and energy issues.
Under the three-step US proposal, the first test to restore bilateral relations would be Venezuela's acceptance of a visit by the top DEA regional supervisor based in Colombia, to map a plan of greater cooperation on anti-narcotic issues. While there are anti-narcotics officials at the US Embassy in Caracas, such a visit would give bilateral talks greater diplomatic weight, officials say.
According to the sources, both sides may have powerful reasons to seek a thaw as they prepare for the possibility of a post-Chávez era.
US officials would like Venezuela to allow greater cooperation on drugs, terrorism and energy, regardless of who is in power, to stop the country from becoming "a drug-traffickers' paradise."
Maduro, in turn, may be buying time to consolidate his leadership at home. "A hard-liner who is very close to Cuba's dictatorship, Maduro may have talked to Jacobson to send a message within the polarized Chavista movement that he's in charge, before any internal power struggle in Venezuela breaks out in the open," the sources added.
This is all there is
A simple reason: there is oil galore, would suffice to explain Guyana's actions. Another explanation lies in the little or none efforts made by the Venezuelan government to thwart the move by the Guyanese. This is certainly not a new problem, but a problem only recently highlighted because oil is involved. But what other resources does the disputed area hold? For most of us it is a section on the map with black and white stripes on it, a depiction of something distant, alien, a nothingness not worth paying much attention to in geography classes back in elementary school.

Historically a nation of immigrants, the United States is home to nearly 41 million immigrants, who represent 13 percent of the total population and play a key role in the economic, civic, and cultural life of the country. The research collected here covers many facets of immigration to the United States, by the numbers and how immigrants fare in the country's classrooms and workplaces, the policies and regulations that shape the admission of new immigrants, the enforcement programs and polices in place at U.S. borders and within the interior, and integration policies and efforts taking place in local communities, in states, and at the federal level.
Nearly 2 million of the 4 million-strong Vietnamese diaspora live in the United States, with many having come in the immediate aftermath of the Vietnam War and during the long-running Indochinese refugee crisis. With April 30 marking the 40th anniversary of the fall of Saigon, learn more about the Vietnamese diaspora in the United States and Vietnam's contemporary and historical migration experience.
An estimated 41.3 million immigrants lived in the United States in 2013, about 13 percent of the total U.S. population, constituting the world's largest foreign-born population. This Spotlight from MPI's Jie Zong and Jeanne Batalova offers the most current and sought-after data on immigrants in the United States—including origin, educational attainment, the unauthorized, deportations, and more—in one easy-to-use resource.
MPI has compiled in one easy-to-access location its key research and data resources on issues, policies, enforcement programs, and more that relate to the immigration reform debate underway in Washington.
The 1.0 million Korean immigrants residing in the United States in 2007 accounted for 2.7 percent of all U.S. immigrants. MPI's Aaron Terrazas examines their socioeconomic characteristics, where they live, and the size of the Korean-born unauthorized population.
MPI's Muzaffar Chishti and Claire Bergeron report on Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano's nomination to head homeland security, changes to the H-2A program, suspension of a refugee family-reunification program, and more.
The subject of immigration was almost nonexistent in the general-election contest between Democrat Barack Obama and Republican John McCain though both candidates sought the Latino vote.
Contrary to a widely held view, not all immigrants have little education. About one in three immigrants is a person with either a U.S. or foreign college degree.
MPI's Muzaffar Chishti and Claire Bergeron report on the 2008 presidential election, two Supreme Court cases on immigration, Arizona Proposition 202, and more.
For an increasing number of scholars, international migration has undergone a transformation particularly in the last decade or so. Although circular migration's impact on development is far from settled, a review of the current literature suggests increasing optimism about its developmental potential.
The culminating report of the Independent Task Force on Immigration and America's Future seeks to design a new and simplified immigration regime that averts illegal immigration, and at the same time, harnesses the benefits of immigration for the future. .
¿Qué clase de política y sistema de inmigración podría aprovechar los beneficios de la inmigración para avanzar los intereses nacionales de EE.UU. en el siglo XXI? El Grupo de Trabajo sobre Inmigración y el Futuro de los Estados Unidos fue convocado por el Instituto de Política Migratoria (MPI) debatir este tema.
This report examines the debate over whether immigrants depress wages and displace native workers in the U.S. labor market. It provides an overview of research since the mid-1990s studying the impact of immigration on native wages and job displacement, and reviews additional factors that may affect labor markets.
This report provides an estimate of the taxes paid by immigrants in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, which encompasses the federal district and portions of Maryland and Virginia. It compares the tax payments of immigrant households with the contributions of native households between 1999 and 2000.
New immigration legislation must include changes to achieve effective and resolute enforcement of the immigration laws. Because border and workplace enforcement have been addressed elsewhere, this policy brief offers suggestions for other key enforcement improvements that Congress should implement.
Debates on immigration policy often discuss calibrating immigration levels to meet the labor needs of the nation's economy. Indeed, it is clear that immigration strongly affects U.S. labor markets – over the past thirty years, foreign-born workers have grown to record numbers.
This report provides a background for policy discussion on high-skilled immigration to the United States by presenting an occupational profile of foreign-born professionals and highlighting their contributions to the U.S. economy.

Very friendly staff and professional
Our tour guide was very informative, he made sure he was loud enough for everyone in the group to hear, he allowed time for everyone to get their pictures, I would recommend to families, I would use this company again
Very enjoyable. Tour guide professional, knowledgeable and emtertaining. Learned many things about Salem not able to find out any where else. Suitable for teens and up. one of my favorite activities in Salem.
It was quick and painless ordering our tickets.
Inferior tour. Another tour in town was far superior!
There was no lantern. The first part of the tour was acceptable we were taken to the Salem Witch Memorial and the guide did an excellent job of playing his part and kept us there for quite a while. However, the 2nd half of the tour was ridiculous. We were led into alleyways and asked, What are your best ghost stories! What? I wanted to hear about Salem history--which should be so rich--not some fellow tourist's story. I left the tour before it was over.

Big news for American fans of Russian ballet:
First, St. Petersburg's Mikhailovsky Ballet has finally set a date for its U.S. debut. Though the company initially planned to perform in New York two summers ago, that visit was canceled when American Ballet Theatre exercised a non-compete clause involving Ivan Vasiliev and Natalia Osipova, who were scheduled to perform during both ABT's Metropolitan Opera House season and the Mikhailovsky's overlapping New York tour. (Yikes.)
This time around, however, things look to be smooth sailing: The Mikhailovsky is scheduled to appear at Lincoln Center's Koch Theater November 13–23. Yes, Osipova and Vasiliev will be there. So will "Kings of the Dance" veteran Leonid Sarafanov, and Angelina Vorontsova, the talented former Bolshoi ballerina whose boyfriend, Pavel Dmitrichenko, was sentenced to a jail term for his role in the acid attack on Bolshoi director Sergei Filin. (Allegedly, Dmitrichenko's unhappiness with Filin stemmed from frustration with Vorontsova's casting.) The Mikhailovksy's NYC lineup includes Giselle, Flames of Paris, Don Quixote, and a mixed-rep triple bill featuring Nacho Duato's Prelude, which Duato made for the company during his recently-concluded term as artistic director.

But that's not all, folks. American Ballet Theatre has also announced that rising Bolshoi star Olga Smirnova—a DM 2013 25 to Watch—will make her debut as a guest artist with the company this May. She'll dance Nikiya, one of her breakout roles, in a single performance of La Bayadère in May, squired by Vadim Muntagirov. (Gamzatti will be danced by the equally compelling Hee Seo, who does a gorgeous Nikiya herself—a face-off we're excited to see.) Mariinsky principal Viktoria Tereshkina will also perform with ABT for the first time, giving, like Smirnova, one Nikiya performance. Tereshkina will be partnered by fellow ABT guest and Mariinsky star Vladimir Shklyarov.
A tale of two Nikiyas: left, Smirnova dancing the role in the Bolshoi's production of La Bayadère (photo by Damir Yusupov, courtesy the Bolshoi); right, Tereshkina as Nikiya with the Mariinsky (photo by Natasha Razina, courtesy the Mariinsky).
And all of that comes in addition to the Bolshoi's previously announced U.S. tour, with stops in Washington, D.C., New York and Saratoga from May to July. It's a veritable feast of Russian ballet.

Little Earthquakes & Under The Pink 2-CD Deluxe Editions Featuring Remastered Audio Plus Special B-Sides, Live Tracks, & Other Rarities
180-Gram Vinyl Of Original Albums Released In The US For The First Time!
Available April 14, 2015 From Rhino
Iconic B-Side "Take To The Sky" Out Today
One of the most successful and influential artists of her generation, Tori Amos is as much a force to be reckoned with today as when she released her first solo album LITTLE EARTHQUAKES over 2 decades ago. Eschewing the trends of the time, the prodigious chanteuse touched millions deeply with her arresting melodies, riveting stage presence and personal & honest lyrics. Today, Amos announces 2-CD deluxe editions of her debut and sophomore solo albums, LITTLE EARTHQUAKES and UNDER THE PINK, each newly re-mastered and paired with an entire disc of rare B-sides and bonus tracks. The b-side from the "Winter" single, "Take To The Sky", was revealed today.
We're back! Did you miss us? Or did you even notice we were gone? (Given that we haven't had a Digital Update for you since December 17, we sure hope you noticed.) A lot has happened since we were last together, including a very sad loss which, as it happens, ties directly into this week's additions.
New this week in the Rhino Room at iTunes:
On December 22, the world of music lost the great Joe Cocker, who had the kind of unique voice that is likely never to be duplicated. Cocker had a substantial back catalog, with 22 studio albums to his credit, and three of those efforts – all of them from the mid-1980s – have at last made their way into our digital catalog.
Wow, we're getting the strangest sense of déjà vu all of a sudden…
Yes, that's right: yesterday our Mono Mondays release was Otis Redding's The Dock of the Day, and today we're issuing the very same album on 180-gram vinyl. As such, what can we tell you – besides, of course, that it's going to sound staggeringly good when you give it a spin – that we didn't cover in our previous piece on this classic effort?
Well, first of all, although we tackled the fact that Redding co-wrote the title track with Steve Cropper, we didn't really get into the fact that Redding helped composed several other songs on the record, including "Let Me Come On Home," a co-write with Booker T. Jones and Al Jacobson, Jr., and three solo compositions: "Open the Door," "I'm Coming Home," and "Ole Man Trouble." In addition, there are versions of "I Love You More Than Words Can Say," written by Jones and Eddie "Knock on Wood" Floyd, and "Don't Mess with Cupid," by Cropper, Floyd, and Deanie Parker, along with covers of Billy Hill's "The Glory of Love," Jimmy Cox's "Nobody Knows You (When You're Down and Out)," "Tramp," written by Lowell Fulson and Jimmy McCracklin, and Redding's take on "The Huckle-Buck."
This week's Mono Monday release is the first of what would prove to be many posthumously-released albums by Otis Redding, who had died only six weeks prior to its initial appearance on record store shelves, but there's an eternal poignancy to its contents, as its title track proved to be the biggest hit of Redding's career.
The 11 tracks on The Dock of the Day are taken from sessions conducted at various times between July 11, 1965 and December 8, 1967, only two days before Redding was killed when his plane crashed into Lake Monona, just outside of Madison, Wisconsin…and, yes, the title track was one of those songs that was recorded in those last sessions. Reportedly inspired by the way The Beatles had expanded their sound on Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Redding wanted to try something different himself, and not only was he convinced that the song – a co-write between himself and Steve Cropper – was the best thing he'd ever recorded, he believed it was destined to be a chart-topper.
If the third Saturday in April is one of the first days you circle whenever you buy a new calendar, then you already know when Record Store Day is, but you may not be aware that the folks who put together that most vaunted of days for vinyl lovers have also gotten into the habit of making the most of the day after Thanksgiving, too.
Big surprise: we here at Rhino are getting involved in Record Store Day: Black Friday 2014, putting out nine – count 'em – nine limited-edition releases, including a little colored vinyl, a picture disc, and other cool stuff.
Oh, you want specifics, do you?
Well, since you asked nicely, here's what you should be keeping your eyes open for when you're out shopping on Friday:

Products with cliched marketing histories use satire to earn consumer trust
PRO Trend Implications - Addressing cliched advertising tropes, marketers are using tongue-in-cheek satire to appeal to savvy consumers. This is particularly popular with products that have a specific go-to formula, communicating to the viewer that they are seen as critical, aware consumers. This establishes an appealing sense of connection and trust between the seller and viewer, all while providing an entertaining form of marketing. [More]

ABSTRACT: Idiopathic portal hypertension (IPH) is a disorder of unknown etiology, clinically characterized by portal hypertension (varices and portosystemic collateral vessels), splenomegaly, and anemia (hypersplenism). A similar disorder is called noncirrhotic portal fibrosis in India, and hepatoportal sclerosis seems to be the counterpart in the United States. This disease is uncommon in developed countries. Middle-aged women are more prone to IPH in Japan. The liver has no cirrhosis or pseudonodule formation, and the principal pathologic changes are considerable portal fibrosis, devastation of intrahepatic terminal portal radicles, and parenchymal atrophy of the liver secondary to portal malperfusion. The characteristic portal hemodynamics include intrahepatic presinusoidal portal hypertension, increased splenic and portal vein blood flow, and increased intrahepatic portal resistance. The prognosis is generally good depending on the management of bleeding varices. Although the etiology is obscure, certain immunologic abnormalities seem to play an etiologic role in Japanese patients, and the incidence has markedly declined in recent years in Japan, indirectly suggesting a role of infection. The theory that IPH represents an undiagnosed intrahepatic portal vein thrombosis is refuted.Seminars in Liver Disease 03/2002; 22(1):59-72. DOI:10.1055/s-2002-23207 · 5.12 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: The Japanese Ministry of Health and Welfare Research Committee on Aberrant Portal Blood Flow carried out an epidemiological survey and clinical study on Budd-Chiari syndrome in 1990. In the primary survey for determining the prevalence of the disease, a questionnaire was sent to all major hospitals throughout Japan and 160 cases seen in 1989 were compiled. More epidemiological details were obtained in 87 of these 160 cases. The number of patients with Budd-Chiari syndrome in this country was estimated to be about 300 (prevalence of 2.4/million) with about 20 new cases occurring every year. In the clinical study, 157 authentic cases of Budd-Chiari syndrome studied in 15 years (1975-89) were analyzed. There were 87 males (average age, 36.4 years) and 70 females (46.5 years), and the average period from the likely onset to the first medical consultation was 6.6 years, suggesting that these patients were mostly chronic cases. The main clinical features were hepatomegaly, leg edema, ascites and venous dilatation over the trunk. Abdominal pain was recorded in only four (2.5%). There were 16 (10.2%) with known identifiable etiologies. Of the patients 93% showed an obstructing lesion of various thickness in the hepatic portion of the inferior vena cava. Only nine (5.7%) had hepatic vein obstruction without caval lesions. Thus, the majority of Budd-Chiari syndrome patients in Japan are idiopathic, having an obstructing lesion in the inferior vena cava. The main causes of 33 deaths (21%) were liver failure, variceal bleeding and hepatocellular carcinoma. Hepatocellular carcinoma occurred in 10 (6.4%) in the 15-year period. However, the incidence of Budd-Chiari syndrome among all cases of hepatocellular carcinoma was less than 1% in the survey made by the Liver Cancer Study Group of Japan.Journal of Hepatology 02/1995; 22(1):1-9.

Article: Histopathological study of intrahepatic aberrant vessels in cases of noncirrhotic portal hypertension[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Aberrant vessels, which are defined as dilated blood vessels immediately adjacent to the peripheral portal tract, appear under conditions of extrahepatic portal obstruction and nodular regenerative hyperplasia as well as idiopathic portal hypertension. Our study was undertaken to compare their morphological aspects in these three disease cases. Aberrant vessels were found in 84% of cases of idiopathic portal hypertension, 67% of cases of extrahepatic portal obstruction infantile type, 78% of cases of extrahepatic portal obstruction adult type and 83% of cases of nodular regenerative hyperplasia. They were divided into three types: type I--no communication with the portal vein, the lumen of which is normally open; type II--communication with the portal vein; and type III--no communication with the portal vein, which is occluded. The most common types of aberrant vessel were type III in idiopathic portal hypertension (51%), type I in extrahepatic portal obstruction infantile type (46%), type II in extrahepatic portal obstruction adult type (43%) and type III in nodular regenerative hyperplasia (45%). Serial sections revealed transition between types I, II and III, at frequencies between types II and III, types I and II, and types I and III of 35.7%, 33.7% and 30.6%, respectively. Aberrant vessels demonstrated the same immunoreactivity as portal veins for collagen type IV, laminin, factor VIII and ulex europaeus agglutinin-I. They were concluded to arise from the vasa septalis or inlet venules, which would be used as intrahepatic shunts draining portal blood flow blocked by stenosed portal veins. Increased portal pressure would be expected to enhance development of aberrant vessels.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)Hepatology 08/1994; 20(2):302-8.

Article: [Liver cirrhosis, its definition and classification--from a morbid anatomical point of view].[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Cirrhosis of the liver is a principally a morphological entity, and it has been assumed to be an end-stage condition of all chronic active liver diseases. Morphologically, liver cirrhosis can be defined briefly as "a pathological condition characterized by diffuse pseudonodule formation throughout the entire liver". Fundamental pathogenetic changes in the cirrhotic process are hepatic necrosis, increase of connective tissue and regeneration of hepatocytes. For the sake of convenience, liver cirrhosis is classified into two groups; common and specific types. The former included postnecrotic, posthepatitic, alcoholic and mixed types of cirrhosis, and congestive, biliary, parasitic cirrhosis and Wilson disease were grouped into the latter. It should be mentioned that morphological diagnostic criteria is much more rigid for the common types than those of the specific type. Special stress has been laid on the importance of structural changes not only in the parenchymal disorganizations, but also in the stromal vascular changes in the cirrhotic process.Nippon rinsho.

ABSTRACT: Twenty hepatic infarction cases selected from 5420 consecutive autopsy cases were investigated to clarify the pathogenetic aspects of this disease. Additional postmortem angiological studies of 24 normal human livers obtained at autopsy were also further performed to analyse the effects of blocking vascular structures on lesion development. Seventeen of the 20 cases (85%) were clinically associated with systemic circulatory insufficiency, especially hepato- and/or renal failure. Histopathologically, there was a significantly closer relationship between the location of infarcted regions and portal vein thrombosis than with either hepatic vein thrombosis or hepatic arterial damage. The borders between infarcted regions and surviving hepatic parenchyma were located around central veins, corresponding with the microcirculatory periphery of the portal venous system. Postmortem angiographic studies revealed that hepatic lobuli mainly consist of portal vein branches. Moreover, postmortem embolization studies of six normal livers using glass beads and barium-gelatin injection showed that physical occlusion of portal vein branches produced defects in broad areas of the hepatic parenchyma. Therefore, it is suggested that the development of hepatic infarction principally depends on disturbances of the portal venous system. In addition, systemic circulatory insufficiency, which reduces the intrahepatic blood flow, probably contributes greatly to the development of hepatic infarction.Liver International 11/1993; 13(5):239-45.

Article: Apoptosis induced by microtubule disrupting drugs in cultured human lymphoma cells. Inhibitory effects of phorbol ester and zinc sulphate.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The effects of the microtubule disrupting drugs (MDD) vinblastine, vincristine and colchicine on a human lymphoma cell line, BM 13674, were investigated. Twelve hours after administration of vinblastine (10(-3) mg/ml), vincristine (10(-2) mg/ml) or colchicine (10(-2) mg/ml), cell death with the characteristic morphology of apoptosis was observed in 71.6%, 82.2% and 76.9% of the cells respectively. The mode of death was confirmed as apoptotic by the occurrence of internucleosomal DNA cleavage, which was demonstrated by agarose gel electrophoresis. For the purpose of casting light on the mechanism involved, inhibition tests were performed on apoptosis induced by one of these drugs, vinblastine, using a phorbol ester (PDBu), zinc sulphate and cycloheximide. PDBu, an activator of protein kinase C, and zinc sulphate, a putative inhibitor of the endonuclease were thought to be responsible for internucleosomal DNA cleavage; both markedly reduced the induction of apoptosis. The protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide, on the other hand, had no inhibitory effect. Moreover, cycloheximide treatment per se enhanced apoptosis. This suggests that new protein synthesis is not required for the execution of vinblastine-induced apoptosis. Such a finding is in accord with recent reports suggesting that the "death program" within many cell types may be primed but unable to proceed due to concomitant production of specific "apoptotic inhibitors". It is suggested that phorbol esters prevent vinblastine-induced apoptosis in the BM 13674 cells by activating one or more of these specific "apoptotic inhibitors", possibly by means of PKC-mediated phosphorylation.Pathology - Research and Practice 04/1993; 189(2):197-203.

Article: An immunohistochemical and molecular biological study of c-erbB-2 amplification and prognostic relevance in gallbladder cancer.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Forty-three cases of gallbladder cancer were investigated for c-erbB-2 gene amplification and c-erbB-2 protein over-expression using a combined polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and immunohistochemical approach. Thirty out of 43 cases (69.6%) demonstrated c-erbB-2 gene amplification, the positive rates being 50% and 77.4% for twelve early cancers and thirty-one advanced cancers, respectively (P < 0.05). However, there was no statistically significant correlation between c-erbB-2 gene amplification and histologic grade of differentiation or lymph node metastasis. Fourteen out of 43 cases (32.6%) showed positive immunoreactivity reflecting c-erbB-2 protein over-expression but again no statistically significant correlation was found with grade of differentiation, invasion or lymph node metastasis. Neither the c-erbB-2 gene nor the protein revealed any close relation to prognosis. In contrast, histopathologic findings for histologic grade of differentiation, invasion grade and lymph node metastasis showed good correlations to prognosis and between themselves. In conclusion, while c-erbB-2 gene and protein in gallbladder cancers might be related to invasiveness, they are not applicable as predictive factors for prognosis.Pathology - Research and Practice 04/1993; 189(3):283-92.

Article: Comparative analysis of p53 and c-myc expression and cell proliferation in human hepatocellular carcinomas--an enhanced immunohistochemical approach.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Expression of p53 and c-myc was investigated and compared with cell proliferative activity in a series of 40 hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC), by means of enhanced immunohistochemistry. p53 expression was demonstrated in 5 out of 40 HCC (12.5%) with the incidence increasing in 5 out of 40 HCC (12.5%) with the incidence increasing in proportion to the histological grading of malignancy: thus, 0% of well-differentiated, 6.9% of moderately differentiated and 33.3% of poorly differentiated lesions were positive. The proliferating-cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) labeling index also showed a statistically significant increase with this grading. Distribution patterns of PCNA-positive cell were divided into four types: scatter, marginal, mosaic and diffuse. Four HCC cases, predominantly of the poorly differentiated type, exhibited the diffuse pattern. Generally, p53 overexpression corresponded well with PCNA positivity. In contrast, there was no correlation between c-myc overexpression, found in 19 out of 40 HCC (47.5%), and histological grading of HCC or PCNA labeling index. The distribution pattern of c-myc-positive HCC cells was also different from that of PCNA and p53. Our results suggest that p53 overexpression closely relates to proliferation of HCC cells. Furthermore, there may be a consistent difference in regulatory mechanisms between p53 and c-myc expression in multistep hepatocarcinogenesis.Journal of Cancer Research and Clinical Oncology 02/1993; 119(12):737-44.

Article: A possible role for Epstein-Barr virus in tumorigenesis after immunosuppression in cases of renal transplantation.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Eight secondary malignancies developing after renal transplantation were investigated in terms of a possible role of the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). In five cases, four gastric cancers and one colonic cancer, the presence of EBV was proven by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), all four gastric lesions being confirmed to have a massive EBV infection by in situ hybridization. Two cases demonstrated monoclonal infection with EBV, as indicated by a single band of the lymphocyte-defined membrane antigen tandem-repeat gene using PCR, and were immunohistochemically positive for the latent membrane protein 1. Our series suggests that gastrointestinal cancer predominates as a secondary malignancy in states of induced severe immunosuppression, and that EBV may play an important role in tumorigenesis as an oncovirus.Journal of Cancer Research and Clinical Oncology 02/1993; 119(10):627-9.

Article: [A case of pulmonary aspergillosis by immunodiagnosis during remission induction therapy of acute myelocytic leukemia].[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The frequency of a visceral mycosis grows definitely higher with an immunocompromised host. Invasive fungal infection can be controlled by means of development of early diagnosis and antifungal therapy. In these types of cases, it is difficult to establish an antemortem diagnosis of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis and most of them were diagnosed postmortem. A patient was diagnosed as aspergillosis from the clinical and serological features. This patient underwent successful therapy during remission induction therapy of acute myelocytic leukemia (AML). A 26-year-old male was admitted to our hospital because of leukocytosis with a diagnosis of AML made by reviewing peripheral blood smears and bone marrow aspirate. After remission induction therapy, he was still febrile in spite of treatment with a broad spectrum antibiotics and empiric therapy of fluconazole. Unfortunately shadowing appeared on the chest radiograph and aspergillus antigen was detected from the serum and the sputum. Consequently, the patient who suffered from invasive pulmonary aspergillosis was diagnosed and treated with intravenous amphotericin B and flucytosine. The radiological shadow improved but AML relapsed, therefore, remission induction therapy of AML was started again but he died of sepsis caused MRSA. In the postmortem histopathological examination the lung tissues, the hyphae could not be confirmed while, in immunohistochemical examinations of the lesion at the left S8, aspergillus antigens were detected around the small necrotic lesions and in the polymorphologic giant cells. We emphasize that invasive pulmonary aspergillosis is very difficult to diagnose whereas active examinations and clinical early diagnosis may lead to more effective therapy and the prognosis.Kansenshogaku zasshi.

ABSTRACT: Clonal immunoglobulin (Ig) heavy chain gene rearrangement in gastric reactive lymphoid hyperplasia (RLH) cases was investigated by means of the 'double' polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded tissue. Rearranged DNA sequences, formed by combinations of variable (VH) and joining (JH) regions, were amplified with oligomeric primers. One microgram of DNA extracted from formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded tissue was applied as the 'first PCR' template and one ten-thousandth of the first PCR product was used as the 'second PCR' template. As a control study for the double PCR method, DNA isolated from frank B cell gastric malignant lymphomas was assessed. Clear single bands between 100 and 150 base pair markers in length were evident on agarose gel electrophoresis in 10 out of 13 cases (76.9%) of malignant lymphomas while 2 out of 22 cases (9%) of RLHs revealed clear single bands of the same length, suggesting malignant lymphomas; however, no histologic features of malignant lymphomas were present. It is concluded that even gastric RLH cases satisfying histopathologic criteria for benign lymphoid hyperplasia may contain occult monoclonal B cell populations suggesting a continuous and progressive spectrum of lesions contributing to B cell neoplasia.Pathology - Research and Practice 01/1993; 188(8):973-80.

Article: Silver‐binding argyrophilic nucleolar organizer regions (AgNOR) in gall‐bladder cancer: Correlations with malignant grading and prognosis[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Silver-binding nucleolar organizer regions (AgNOR) were investigated and compared in 43 cases of gall-bladder cancers and 10 normal gall-bladder samples using an image analyzer. The mean numbers of AgNOR per nucleus (AgNOR number) were 3.28 ± 1.38 in the gall-bladder cancers and 1.86±0.20 in the normal gall-bladder cases. The respective mean areas of AgNOR per nucleus (AgNOR area) were 6.96±3.78 μm2 and 1.89±0.21 μm2. The differences were statistically significant (P<0.0001) for both parameters. In addition, increased frequency and enlargement were both apparently correlated with poor prognosis (P<0.011 and P < 0.046, respectively), with AgNOR number and AgNOR area showing tendencies for increase in cases of histologi-cally high grade malignancy, advanced cancer and regional lymph node involvement.In conclusion, AgNOR number and AgNOR area appear to be useful indicators for the grading of malignancies and for the prediction of gall-bladder cancer prognosis.Pathology International 12/1992; 43(1‐2):36 - 43.

ABSTRACT: We prepared experimental of small intestinal ischemia by occluding the inlet of the anterior mesenteric artery of adult mongrel dogs with balloon catheters. With these experimental models, the degree of tissue damage of the small intestinal mucosa, which became ischemic, was studied according to the different occlusion times of the anterior mesenteric artery (3, 5, 7, 10, 15 and 30 hours). As a result, ischemic mucosal lesions in the small intestine at an initial stage occurred on the antimesenteric side. In the gross findings of the mucosa when the occlusion time was within 5 hours, linear and spotted lesions appeared in a zone on the antimesenteric side. When the occlusion time was 7 hours or more, these lesions fused and the entire intestinal mucosa became a hemorrhagic lesion. By occluding the anterior mesenteric artery for 22-30 hours, all 6 experimental ischemic animals died.Nippon Shokakibyo Gakkai zasshi The Japanese journal of gastro-enterology 09/1992; 89(8):1491-8.

ABSTRACT: Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) was introduced to Japan ten years ago and was established as the treatment for end-stage renal disease along with HD. Although the incidence of peritonitis in CAPD has decreased by educating the patients and parents and the improvement of various devises of CAPD, peritonitis is still one of the major complications of CAPD. Fungus is a rare pathogen for peritonitis in CAPD, but it must be considered as a causative agent in cases of intractable peritonitis. This report describes the first case of Trichosporon beigelii (T. beigelii) peritonitis in CAPD in Japan. A nine year old boy with chronic renal failure due to bilateral vesicoureteral reflux was given CAPD treatment four years prior to admission. This patient had been admitted to our hospital frequently because of recurrent bacterial peritonitis. The peritonitis in CAPD was usually treated by changing the peritoneal fluid and antibiotic treatment. In this case T. beigelii was proved to be a pathogen of peritonitis by culture of CAPD fluid and also serum antibody titers. T. beigelii infection was successfully eradicated from the peritoneal cavity by administration of MCZ and by the removal of peritoneal catheter. The patient was switched from CAPD to HD. In the case of intractable peritonitis in CAPD, rare fungal pathogens such as T. beigelii must be considered as a causative agent.Kansenshogaku zasshi.

Article: Morphological differences between hepatocellular carcinoma and hepatocellular carcinomalike lesions.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In an attempt to provide a quantitative basis for differentiation between well-differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma and hepatocellular carcinomalike lesions (focal nodular hyperplasia, regenerative nodular hyperplasia and hepatocellular adenoma), histopathological and morphometrical analyses were performed on 208 cases of various liver diseases with the aid of an image analyzer. As practical indicators for hepatocellular carcinoma, the following six morphometrical features were established: (a) nuclear shape factor of less than 0.93, (b) coefficient of variance of nuclei of more than 5%, (c) average width of trabecular cords greater than three cells, (d) nucleocytoplasmic ratio increased to more than 0.3, (e) cellular density of more than 40 liver cells and (f) individual nuclear dimension larger than 50 microns2. The manifest categories increased with dedifferentiation of cells in hepatocellular carcinoma; the number and degree of cellular and structural atypia became more prominent. Data were analyzed statistically by two multivariate analyses. Logistic analysis was able to correctly separate hepatocellular carcinoma from conditions that were not hepatocellular carcinoma, including hepatocellular carcinomalike lesions. The incidence of 13 descriptive histopathological findings such as fibrous capsule, portal triads and clear-cell clusters were also compared in hepatocellular carcinomalike lesions and hepatocellular carcinomas graded according to Edmondson's classification. Presence of a fibrous capsule, portal triads, mosaiclike patterns and tumor vessels showed statistical differences between hepatocellular carcinomalike lesions and well-differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma by the chi 2 test (p less than 0.005).Hepatology 08/1992; 16(1):118-26. · 11.19 Impact Factor
Article: Inhibitory effect of noradrenaline on acute liver injury induced by carbon tetrachloride in the rat.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The effect of exogenous noradrenaline (NA) on acute liver injury was investigated in rats receiving a single dose of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4). Animals were divided into the following groups: (I) no treatment, used for plasma catecholamine assay; (II) received CCl4 only; (III) treated with CCl4 plus noradrenaline (NA). Plasma levels of catecholamine (CA) were elevated in both groups II and III, particularly in NA: average value at 33 h after the exposure of CCl4 increased to 290-fold of the control in group II and to 513-fold in group III. Subsequently, the levels of NA decreased with time, and were comparatively well-preserved in the rats of group III. Hepatic changes observed in the animals of group II were as follows: destruction with reduced number in rough endoplasmic reticulum; destruction and disappearance of cristae in mitochondria, and numerous fat droplets (shown by electron microscopy); histologically observed marked centrilobular necrosis with steatosis followed by progression with time; and microangiographically demonstrated deranged intrahepatic microvasculature. By contrast, these changes were successfully prevented by NA treatment (group III). Furthermore, histologically observed centrilobular change was restored with time. It was concluded that, in a deranged state, NA takes a form quite dissimilar to ordinary state: Na exerts for hapatoprotective and is highly involved in liver injury.Journal of the Autonomic Nervous System 07/1992; 39(1):13-8.

With Attorney General Eric Holder being cited for contempt by a Congressional committee, and with President Obama asserting executive privilege to prevent disclosure of key documents, leading to speculation of a cover up, Operation Fast and Furious is again in the public eye.
Fast and Furious, the Obama Administration's "gun-walking program," was an operation run out of the State of Arizona through which the federal government purposefully allowed about 2,000 guns to be "walked" into Mexico and placed into the hands of Mexican drug cartels. The alleged purpose was to track the weapons' movement and dismantle the cartels through criminal prosecutions, which never happened. Instead, the guns have been connected with many crimes and murders.
Most of the Fast and Furious guns have been used in Mexico, but some have been used by criminals in this country. At least eleven crimes in our country have been connected to guns that were provided through the Administration's Fast and Furious program, including the murder of Agent Brian Terry of the U.S. Border Patrol.
Agent Brian Terry Killed In Arizona
Forty-year old Brian Terry was a Michigan native. Before becoming a Border Patrol Agent, he had been a United States Marine and had served as a police officer in Michigan. In the Border Patrol, he was a member of the elite Border Patrol Tactical Unit. He proudly served and protected our country.
Terry died on December 15, 2010, near Peck Canyon in Arizona, about twenty miles north of the Mexican border. This part of Arizona is used by Mexican drug cartels for their smuggling operations. Terry and other agents were attempting to arrest a group of armed suspects. A gun fight occurred. Terry was shot and killed. Weapons the federal government had provided through Fast and Furious were found at the scene.
Brian Terry's family still suffers his loss. Adding to their suffering is the lack of information about the facts surrounding his death. The lack of information stems from the Obama Administration's persistent refusal to cooperate fully with Congress's Fast and Furious investigation, which should provide answers about Terry's death.
After the House Committee cited Holder with contempt on June 20, 2012, Brian Terry's family issued the following statement:
Attorney General Eric Holder's refusal to fully disclose the documents associated with Operation Fast and Furious and President Obama's assertion of executive privilege serves to compound this tragedy. It denies the Terry family and the American people the truth. Our son, Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry, was killed by members of a Mexican drug cartel armed with weapons from this failed Justice Department gun trafficking investigation. For more than 18 months, we have been asking our federal government for justice and accountability. The documents sought by the House Oversight Committee and associated with Operation Fast and Furious should be produced and turned over to the Committee. Our son lost his life protecting this nation, and it is very disappointing that we are now faced with an administration that seems more concerned with protecting themselves rather than revealing the truth behind Operation Fast and Furious.
Fast and Furious began in the Fall of 2009 and ended soon after Brian Terry's murder in December 2010.
Once guns were knowingly allowed to "walk" into Mexico from Arizona, the crime rate in Mexico began to skyrocket. For example, in March 2010, the Obama Administration allowed 359 guns to get into the hands of Mexican criminals. That same month, there were 958 killings in Mexico, the most since 2005. Fast and Furious guns were found at several of those crime scenes.
The Mexican Attorney General has confirmed that at least 200 Mexicans have been killed with Fast and Furious weapons. How many more people have been, or will be, killed because of Fast and Furious is unknown. The Obama Administration cannot account for hundreds of the guns it allowed to "walk" into Mexico. Those guns will be used for years to come by criminals here and in Mexico.
Fast and Furious may not be the only "gun walking" program run by the Obama Administration. There may have been others, including one run out of the State of Texas, which led to the death of another law enforcement agent.
Special Agent Jaime Zapata Killed In Mexico
Special Agent Jaime Zapata of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) was a thirty-two year old native of Brownsville, Texas. He had been an ICE Agent for four years. Prior to that, he had been a U.S. Border Patrol Agent for one year. He proudly served and protected this country.
In 2011, he was on assignment at the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City. On February 15, 2011, he and a fellow agent were driving a vehicle with diplomatic plates in San Luis Potosi, Mexico. They were forced off the road by members of the Los Zetas Mexican drug cartel. The agents, still in the vehicle, identified themselves as diplomats. The drug cartel members opened fire, killing Zapata and seriously wounding his partner.
Zapata and his partner were shot with weapons that appear to be part of another federal government "gun walking" operation, similar to Fast and Furious, but run out of Texas. More information is needed about whether there was a separate gun walking operation and about Zapata's murder, but the Obama Administration continues to stonewall concerning that investigation as well. As with the Terry family, the Zapata family is waiting for answers about the facts surrounding the death of their loved one.
In the meantime, the Zapata family has decided to take legal action. On the same day that Holder was cited for contempt and President Obama asserted executive privilege, it was reported that the Zapata family has filed a $25 million wrongful death claim, which is the precursor to a lawsuit, against the federal government for negligence leading to Zapata's death.
Many questions still remain about the Obama Administration's gun-walking operation(s) and about the deaths of Brian Terry and Jaime Zapata. Fortunately, there are those in Congress and in some media outlets working to get answers (the liberal, entrenched media has largely ignored the scandal) despite resistance from the Obama Administration.
Fast and Furious appears to be turning into President Obama's Watergate, especially now that a cover up is suspected. But, unlike the actual Watergate scandal, there are countless murders associated with this scandal.

WASHINGTON The United States will likely give on Friday another six-month reprieve from financial sanctions to India, South Korea, Turkey and others because they have reduced their purchases of crude oil from Iran, two U.S. government sources said on Thursday.
The United States has worked this year with all of Iran's major oil buyers in an effort to rein in Tehran's nuclear ambitions by cutting revenue from oil sales. All of the buyers are expected to eventually receive the waivers to sanctions, known as "exceptions", in exchange for cutting purchases of oil from Iran.
On June 11, a number of countries, including Taiwan and South Africa, received their first round of reprieves to a sanctions law signed by President Barack Obama a year ago. The waivers are issued by the State Department.
Under the law, banks in countries that buy oil from Iran can be cut off from the U.S. financial system unless the purchases are reduced.
The sanctions aim to choke funding to Tehran's nuclear program by slashing demand for Iran's oil exports. The West suspects that Iran's nuclear program is enriching uranium to levels that could be used in weapons. Tehran has said that the program is for the generation of electricity and medical purposes.
U.S. waivers for China, the top consumer of Iran's oil, and Singapore are due to expire on December 25, 180 days after they were issued. Both countries are expected to get waiver extensions because they have reduced oil purchases from Iran. Those waivers could also be issued on Friday, one of the government sources and an oil industry source said.
"There's nothing in the sanctions law that says the U.S. has to wait a full 180 days to announce exceptions for China," said the government source, who asked not to be named because of the sensitive nature of the matter.
Japan and 10 European Union countries received six-month sanction reprieves from the United States in September.
U.S. and EU sanctions on Tehran's oil exports have choked off revenue for Iran's economy, but it is unclear if they will lead to a slowdown or end to the nuclear program.
The Islamic Republic's oil shipments have been reduced by more than half this year. Its monthly crude exports are expected to decline by about a quarter in December to the lowest level since U.S. and EU sanctions were applied this year, shipping sources have said.

We're often told that the solutions to Africa's perceived problems are to be found in "modern" and "Western" technological innovations. Traditional African knowledge is seldom even considered. When looking for answers to local food security, for example, it's genetically modified super crops that will supposedly feed the continent's hungry millions.
Well, here's one example where accessible, inexpensive, indigenous African wisdom has been used in a clever way to the benefit of people and planet: the so-called fertilizer tree.
For more than 20 years, scientists have investigated the properties of Faidherbia albida, a type of acacia tree that African farmers have used for centuries, and their conclusions have been pretty amazing. This long-lived tree species extracts nitrogen from the air and transfers it to the soil via its roots and fallen leaves, where it becomes an invaluable plant nutrient.
There are, of course, many such nitrogen-fixing plants, but the Faidherbia acacia is particularly good at the job and comes with several additional benefits:
•It's adapted to grow in an incredibly wide range of soils and climates from the tropics to deserts;
• It sheds its leaves at the beginning of the rainy season, just when food crop seeds are planted and in need of nitrogen fertilizer;
• Its leaves and pods provide a valuable source of fodder for livestock animals;
• Its bark has medicinal properties;
• It's a source of fuel and construction wood;
•It provides windbreaks and controls erosion by reducing rain runoff; and
• It helps to mitigate climate change by trapping atmospheric carbon.
Faidherbia acacias have long been a part of traditional agricultural systems in sub-Saharan African countries from Ethiopia to Ghana and Malawi, where they are grown in the same fields as agricultural crops. Since the 1980s, scientists have been encouraging small-scale farmers to use them and similar tree species in a system that combines agroforestry with conventional seasonal crops and livestock farming. In Niger, much of the country's millet and sorghum are grown on fields that also host up to 160 acacias per hectare.
Several studies have shown that crop yields can be doubled using this approach. In Malawi, for instance, research indicates that harvests increased by up to 280% for maize grown beneath the canopy of fertilizer trees compared to maize planted further away from the trees. Increased yields have also been observed for sorghum, groundnuts, millet and cotton.
In the last 20 years, the trees have been enthusiastically embraced by farmers in Tanzania, Malawi, Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Zambia. According to Oluyede Ajayi, a scientist at the World Agroforestry Centre and lead author of a recent paper on the subject, in these five countries alone, "there are now some 400,000 smallholder farmers using fertilizer trees to provide critically needed soil nutrients, and many report major increases in maize yields."
It's great to see traditional knowledge and up-to-date scientific insights combine in a sustainable agricultural system that promises to bolster soil fertility, increase crop yields and enhance local food security while providing small farmers with additional sources of income and capturing much more climate-changing carbon than most other farming methods.

Awesome! I hope more people use them in the future.
Having just read "The Tracker" Tom Brown Jr,'s wonderful book that says it all...the earth will provide. You just have to get in touch with Her and learn from Her.
No modern and western petroleum based of genetically modified shit will be the solution to Africa's problems. The solutions are within their reach already in the vast and diverse flora that they have. Please, big companies, just let them use these. Do not shove your dirty "products" down their throats!
This information should be disseminated all over the African continent. What a wonderful way for the farmers to get out of being under the control of commercial fertilizer makers. The natural ways are usually the best when it comes to growing food.
Thank you
interesting :)
Thanks for this information.

Climate adaptation measures are adjustments made in response to the effects of climate change, including its variability.
The joint United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Ministry of Natural Resources & the Environment (MNRE) meeting is instrumental in assessing the nation's preparedness in the face of extreme weather events such as floods, droughts, typhoons and El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO).
It will be a catalyst to lay the groundwork for the formulation of policies and processes that can reduce Malaysia's vulnerability in climate-sensitive sectors such as agriculture and water resources as well as identify opportunities to protect national food security and export earnings.
"As climate change takes its toll on the world's natural systems, the impact of climate change will cut across all sectors and segments of society," said Richard Leete, UNDP Resident Representative for Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei Darussalam.
According to Professor Khairulmaini Osman Salleh of the University Malaya Climate Change Centre, flood defence and adaptation measures are critical policy focus areas to ensure that economic development is not seriously impeded.
"With the effects of increased storm magnitudes, the frequency and intensity of floods will continue and can result in substantial damage of properties, infrastructure as well as loss of livelihoods, as observed in the recent Johor floods,"
"With the proper mechanisms in place, we can be better equipped to cope with these disasters and save millions in economic and social costs," said Prof. Khairulmaini.
Historically, floods have been fairly common in Malaysia, with flood prone areas covering about 9 per cent of the total land area and directly affecting about 22 per cent of the population.
In 2003, the Department of Irrigation and Drainage (DID) reported that floods cost the country in excess of RM 3 billion a year.
The recent floods in Johor, considered to be one of the worse in the nation's history, forced the evacuation of about 300,000 people and cost the government RM 1.5 billion in damages.
Beginning September 11, the meeting, themed 'Towards Policy Changes', will also take stock on the climate change mitigation efforts carried out by the government according to guiding principles and policy direction in the 9th Malaysia plan.
On top of discussions, the meeting will serve as a platform to introduce the UNDP-Global Environment Facility (GEF) Adaptation Policy Framework to guide developing countries in implementing policies and strengthening the mechanisms to cope with climate change.
The policy framework seeks to harmonize adaptation measures with a country's additional, often more pressing, development priorities such as poverty alleviation, food security enhancement, and disaster management.
The meeting will be officiated by Yang Berhormat Dato' Seri Azmi Khalid, Minister of the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Environment while Dr. Marcel Alers, Climate Change Manager, UNDP-GEF (New York) will deliver the keynote address on the impact of climate change in developing countries.
