Court says radical cleric, 4 others can be extradited from Britain to stand trial on terror charges in U.S.
LONDON — Radical preacher Abu Hamza Masri and four other terror suspects who have fought for years to avoid charges in the United States have no more grounds for appeal and can be extradited from Britain immediately, Britain's High Court ruled on Friday.
The U.S. Embassy said it was pleased with the decision. A Department of Justice-owned civilian Gulfstream jet had been on the tarmac at a Royal Air Force base since Tuesday, ready to take them into custody in the United States.
The BBC reported that its correspondent saw a police convoy carrying Masri leave the Long Lartin Prison in central England. The convoy arrived at an air force base in eastern England.
Besides Masri, Judges John Thomas and Duncan Ouseley approved the extradition of four other terrorism suspects, including two accused of involvement in the deadly 1998 bombings of the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania.Khaled al-Fawwaz, Babar Ahmad, Adel Abdul Bary and Syed Talha Ahsan have been battling extradition for between eight and 14 years.
Thomas said there were no grounds for any further delay, noting that it was "in the interest of justice that those accused of very serious crimes, as each of these claimants is in these proceedings, are tried as quickly as possible as is consistent with the interests of justice."
The five have sought to avoid extradition by raising concerns about human rights and the conditions they would endure in a U.S. prison. Both British and European courts have ruled that they can be extradited, but they sought last-minute injunctions from the High Court.
The United States wants Masri to stand trial on allegations that he tried to establish a camp in Oregon to train recruits for the Afghan insurgency, and that he participated in the kidnapping of Western tourists in Yemen.
Ahmad and Ahsan are wanted in Connecticut relating to websites that allegedly sought to raise cash, recruit fighters and seek equipment for terrorists in Afghanistan and Chechnya.
Bary and al-Fawwaz were indicted with others, including Osama bin Laden, for their alleged roles in the bombings of two U.S. embassies in east Africa in 1998. Al-Fawwaz faces more than 269 counts of murder.
Lawyers for Masri, who was in a British jail since 2004 for inciting racial hatred and encouraging followers to kill non-Muslims, argued in court that his deteriorating physical and mental health meant it would be "oppressive" to send him to a U.S. prison. They said he suffers from depression, chronic sleep deprivation and diabetes.
The judges concluded that "there is nothing to suggest that extradition in this case would be unjust or oppressive."
Before Friday's ruling, a small group of Islamist protesters gathered outside the court to denounce the planned extraditions.

Natural Essential Oils for Colds & Flu
This is a time of year when, for many, colds & flus start to make their rounds through the household or office. Fortunately, some of our most powerful, natural antimicrobials are to be found near at hand. Essential oils can easily be used to help overcome colds or flus, and also prevent their spread.
The most effective way to disperse essential oils into one's environment is through the use of a nebulizing diffuser. These create a fine, mist-like aerosol without the use of heat, which can otherwise denature essential oils so that they lose their effectiveness.
Cold & Flu Essentials Recipe: Into your diffuser, combine several (or all) of these individual essentials oils to create an antibacterial and antiviral mist:
• Ravintsara (Cinnamomum camphora) 3 drops
• Melissa (Melissa officinalis) 2 drops
• Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis ct cineol) 2 drops
• Thyme (Thymus vulgaris ct linalool) 1 drop
• Pine (Pinus sylvestris) 1 drop
• Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) 3 drops
Can also be used in a steam inhalation to directly benefit your sinuses, throat, and respiratory passages.
Smells great, with a clean and refreshing scent!

COMPTON, Calif. (AP) — Los Angeles County sheriff's officials say a man who fled an early-morning blaze at a suspected drug lab in Compton suffered severe burns.
City News Service reports a deputy noticed flames at a home in a residential neighborhood around 3:15 a.m. Tuesday.
When he approached the residence, a van sped away, and deputies gave chase. During the pursuit, a passenger jumped from the vehicle and was later discovered to be severely burned. He was arrested. The driver of the van got away.
Sheriff's Lt. Nabele Meacham says deputies and Compton firefighters believe the house may have been used as a laboratory to manufacture PCP.
A sheriff's HazMat team was sent to the location but nearby homes were not evacuated.
The fire was reported knocked down around 5:30 a.m.

Business Insurance Quotes
Microsoft's insurers escape defense payments in antitrust suits
Microsoft will have to pay for its own defense in several pending class action suits, according to a summary judgment in Washington state that says its insurers are not liable for the court costs.
Six insurance companies that provide commercial insurance to Microsoft — American National Insurance Co., Federal Insurance Co., Fidelity and Guaranty Insurance Co., National Union Insurance Co., TIG Insurance Co., and Zurich American Insurance Co. — will not have to pay Microsoft's legal defense fees.
A federal judge originally dismissed Zurich American's lawsuit against Microsoft seeking protection from paying the software giant's legal bills arising from 137 private antitrust lawsuits.
The antitrust lawsuits filed in 38 states against Microsoft stem from the federal court rulings that Microsoft acted anticompetitively in violation of antitrust law. Most of the lawsuits, filed on behalf of consumers, allege Microsoft overpriced its Windows operating software, a charge the software giant denies. Microsoft could lose millions of dollars if even only a few suits are successful, because the private suits are seeking triple damages.
|A federal judge originally dismissed Zurich American Insurance Co.'s lawsuit against Microsoft seeking protection from paying the software giant's legal bills arising from the 137 private antitrust lawsuits.
Text from the summary judgment — which was requested by both sides in the matter — states that the claims in class actions against Microsoft "arose prior to the relevant coverage periods." The commercial general liability coverage Microsoft purchased covers personal and advertising injury, which don't apply to the antitrust suits. Microsoft did not seek insurance coverage for its antitrust battle with the United States Justice Department.
Microsoft argued to the court that insurance coverage should be triggered under the "disparagement" clause in the disputed insurance policies because the underlying complaints (the class actions) include "factual allegations" that Microsoft levied disparaging comments at its competitors. The judgment states that "this court declines to find that an insurer is obligated to provide coverage as a result of a semantic overlap between a disputed policy and the underlying litigation."
Zurich originally sued Microsoft in April 2000 in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., claiming Microsoft's liability insurance does not cover antitrust issues. Four days later, Microsoft countersued in federal court in Seattle. On June 2, 2000, U.S. District Judge Royce C. Lamberth ruled that Zurich improperly filed its lawsuit. "Zurich filed this preemptive first strike here, before it even advised Microsoft of its decision to deny coverage, in a transparent effort to deprive Microsoft of its choice of forum" to pursue legal claims, Lamberth stated in the decision.

USDA's Nationwide Food Consumption Surveys
EPA uses the food consumption data to estimate pesticide residue exposure from the diet and to determine pesticide tolerance levels to meet the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA) health-based safety standard for pesticide residues in all foods. FQPA requires the Secretary of Agriculture to provide the EPA with information on food consumption patterns of a statistically valid sample of infants and children. In response, USDA is conducting the Supplemental Children's Survey (SCS) to the Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals. (CSFII) 1994-96 to provide a larger sample of children to meet the 1996 mandate.
History of Food Consumption Surveys:
USDA has been conducting nationally representative food surveys since the 1930's. The most recent survey to be completed was the CSFI] 1994-96, in which about 15,000 individuals of all ages provided two independent days of 24-hour recall data through in-person interviews. The CSFII collects intake data in all seasons and in all regions of the U.S. Data for all three years of the survey are available on CD-ROM.
Data collection for the SCS began in late 1997 and will continue through 1998 utilizing the same methods employed in the CSFII 1994-96. For infants and children under 6 years of age, a parent or knowledgeable care giver is asked to provide the information. For children 6 to 9 years, the child is interviewed with adult assistance. Data retrieval is used to supplement information for those eating occasions away from home, including contacting babysitters, day care providers, and schools. When completed, dietary intake data combined from the CSFII 1994-96 and the SCS will be available for 10,000 children up to 18 years of age.
Current Priorities:
Through an interagency agreement with EPA's Office of Pesticide Programs, USDA is translating data on foods as consumed in the CSFU 1994-96 and the SCS into data that can be used for estimating pesticide residue exposures. Specifically, data from the surveys on foods "as consumed" will be expressed as consumption of approximately 400 Raw Agricultural Commodities (RACs), as defined by EPA. A translation example is attached for a commonly consumed food, cheese pizza with vegetables. During the translation, specific ingredients are identified and linked to the appropriate RAC(s). Some ingredients are matched to more than one RAC, e.g., sugar is proportioned between beet sugar and sugar cane. For each food reported in the survey, consumption data will be expressed on the basis of grams of each RAC consumed per kilogram of the person's body weight.

Lyme Disease and Applying for Social Security Disability SSI
SSA does not have a listing in the Social Security Disability list of Impairments for Lyme disease. This condition, like most physical and mental impairments is not given a listing which sets forth specific disability approval criteria.
Despite this fact, a claimant who presents a case with lyme disease (and/or any number of other impairments) will have no difficulty being approved for disability as long as they can, through their medical records, demonstrate that they can satisfy the social security administration definition of disability.
Information on the disability definition and what it means for the processing of an SSD or SSI disability claim can be found here: Social Security Definition of Disability.
What follows is some brief and basic information regarding lyme disease itself.
Lyme disease is the most common tick borne disease in North America. Deer ticks or western black-legged ticks are the most common carrier of Lyme disease, although there may be other ticks that carry the Lyme disease bacteria.
About eighty percent of the individuals in the early stage of Lyme disease experience the characteristic bulls eye rash (which may appear one day or even thirty days after exposure to Lyme disease bacteria), along with fever, sickness, and musculoskeletal pain.
Cardiac or neurological problems may occur in the acute state of Lyme disease, although it is rare. Late stage Lyme disease is considered to be a chronic condition that is very difficult to treat.
Untreated or persistent cases of Lyme disease may result in severe symptoms that may include a condition that is similar to meningitis and encephalitis, myocarditis, arthritis, psychiatric manifestations or neurocognitive problems. Chronic Lyme disease symptoms are so severe that they often lead to disability or even death for the infected person.

The Frederick Collection of Period Grand Pianos includes over twenty original pianos in playing condition, specifically, the sorts of pianos known to important composers from about 1790 to 1907. At present, there is no comparable collection of period, playing grand pianos in the United States. Most museum collections that include pianos focus on their decorative appearance rather than their musical value. Such instruments are rarely used for performance; perhaps two or three pianos in each of the other major collections in this countryare maintained in regular playing condition.

Section 130.1952 Sales of Building Materials to a High Impact Business
a) On and after January 1, 1986, and prior to January 1, 1995, a retailer who makes a sale of building materials to a High Impact Business ("HIB") may file claims for credit or refund to recover the amount of tax paid under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act. (Section 5l of the Act)
b) Effective January 1, 1995, a deduction from only the 6.25% rate for the Illinois Retailers' Occupation Tax liability exists for gross receipts from retail sales of building materials that will be incorporated into a HIB location as designated by the Department of Commerce and Community Affairs under Section 5.5 of the Illinois Enterprise Zone Act. (Section 5l of the Act) Effective June 30, 1995, a retailer may also deduct receipts from such sales when calculating any applicable local taxes. Until June 30, 1995, a retailer may file claims for credit or refund as discussed in subsection (a) to recover the amount of any applicable local tax paid on such sales.
c) A retailer claiming the deduction must have among its books and records a written statement signed by the purchaser setting out facts which establish the deduction. This purchaser's statement must contain the following information:
1) a certification by the purchaser that the building materials being purchased are being purchased for incorporation into a HIB location;
2) a description of the building materials being purchased (this may be done by a cross reference to the retailer's invoice number);
3) the name of the HIB location into which the building materials will be incorporated and, if applicable, the street address of the real estate; and
4) the purchaser's signature and date of signing.
d) In order to qualify for the deduction, the materials being purchased must be building materials. That is, they must be purchased for physical incorporation into a HIB location. For example, gross receipts from sales of the following can qualify for the deduction:
1) common building materials such as lumber, bricks, cement, windows, doors, insulation, roofing materials and sheet metal;
2) plumbing systems and components thereof such as bathtubs, lavatories, sinks, faucets, garbage disposals, water pumps, water heaters, water softeners and water pipes;
3) heating systems and components thereof such as furnaces, ductwork, vents, stokers, boilers, heating pipes and radiators;
4) electrical systems and components thereof such as wiring, outlets and light fixtures which are physically incorporated into the HIB location;
5) central air conditioning systems, ventilation systems and components thereof which are physically incorporated into the HIB location;
6) built-in cabinets and other woodwork which is physically incorporated into the HIB location;
7) built-in appliances such as refrigerators, stoves, ovens and trash compactors which are physically incorporated into the HIB location;
8) floor coverings such as tile, linoleum and carpeting that are glued or otherwise permanently affixed to the HIB location by use of tacks, staples, or wood stripping filled with nails that protrude upward (sometimes referred to as "tacking strips" or "tack-down strips");
9) landscape products such as trees, shrubs, topsoil and sod which are physically incorporated (i.e., transplanted) into the HIB location.
e) Items that are not physically incorporated into a HIB location cannot qualify for the deduction. For example, gross receipts from sales of the following do not qualify for the deduction:
1) tools, machinery, equipment, fuel, forms and other items which may be used by a construction contractor at a HIB location, but which are not physically incorporated into the HIB location;
2) free-standing appliances such as stoves, ovens, refrigerators, washing machines, portable ventilation units, window air conditioning units, lamps, clothes washers, clothes dryers, trash compactors and dishwashers which may be connected to and operate from a building's electrical or plumbing system but which do not become a component of those systems;
3) floor coverings that are area rugs or that are attached to the structure using only two-sided tape.

- How to Read a Study Record
The aim of this study is to determine whether the continuous intraarticular infusion of local anesthetics in the postoperative period can improve analgesia and patients satisfaction after knee and shoulder arthroscopy.
ACL Repair
Bankart Repair
Drug: Bupivacaine
Phase 4
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator)
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|A Randomized, Double-blind Trial Comparing the Analgesic Efficacy and Side Effects of Continuous Intraarticular Infusion of Bupivacaine Versus Normal Saline in Patients Undergoing Knee and Shoulder Operations
- To evaluate the total amount of opioids and other analgesic medications consumed in the recovery room and during the 48 hour study period (intravenous and oral). [ Time Frame: 48 hour post operatively ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Secondary endpoints will include the incidence of side effects, such as nausea, vomiting, sedation and itching, pain scores at defined time periods and patients' satisfaction. [ Time Frame: 48 hours post operatively ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
|Study Start Date:
|August 2005
|Study Completion Date:
|April 2009
|Primary Completion Date:
|February 2007 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Drug: Bupivacaine
We propose to evaluate the long-term efficacy of the continuous intraarticular delivery of local anesthetics via a disposable, self-regulated DonJoy Pain Control infusion pump. Patients will be randomly assigned to receive either an intra-articular infusion of bupivacaine 0.125%, or saline delivered at a rate of 5 ml/hr for 48 hours by a DonJoy® Pain Control infusion pump. Patients will receive a femoral block (FNB) and a sciatic block (SNB) for knee arthroscopy or an interscalene block (INB) for shoulder arthroscopy prior to surgery. After the operation, patients will receive morphine via a Patient Controlled Analgesia (PCA) pump for pain control. The patient will be admitted overnight to a Care Unit, with the PCA discontinued at discharge or 24 hours, whichever is earlier. If clinically indicated, the PCA may be extended at the discretion of the pain team. Upon discharge and during the 48 hour study period the patient will receive oral oxycodone and acetaminophen. The patient and their family will remove the DonJoy® Pain Control infusion pump 48 hours after the surgery.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|11 Years to 19 Years
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
- Children between the ages of 11 and 19 years old.
- Knee and shoulder arthroscopy procedures

Her Majesty The Queen has consented to the marriage of His Royal Highness Prince William of Wales and Catherine Elizabeth Middleton. The marriage is to be celebrated at Westminster Abbey tomorrow (29 April), in a ceremony which will attract worldwide interest.
This consent is a legal requirement set out in the Royal Marriages Act 1772. It appears that King George III considered that his brothers had made unsuitable marriages and that consent to marriages ought therefore to be required. He made a recommendation to that effect. The Parliament of the day considered the matter and, according to the Preamble, was "thoroughly convinced" of the "wisdom and expediency" of the King's recommendation. Despite this wording there was considerable opposition to the Act particularly on the part of William Pitt (Earl of Chatham) and Charles James Fox. The Preamble to the Act states that marriages in the Royal Family are "of the highest importance to the State" and that it is therefore desirable that the reigning Monarch gives consent. The 1772 Act s.1 therefore requires descendants of King George II to have this consent - (there are some exceptions). Section 2 enables a marriage to proceed even without consent but Parliament may then intervene and express "disapprobation."
From time to time, there have been proposals in Parliament to repeal the 1772 Act. These have generally come from either members of the House of Lords or have taken the form of Private Member's Bills. The Labour governments in the period 1997-2010 expressed sympathy with the need for change but took no action to change the law. A recent attempt to change matters was in the 2008-09 Parliamentary Session when the Liberal Democrat MP Dr Evan Harris introduced a bill - see the Parliamentary briefing on Royal Marriages and Succession to the Crown (Prevention of Discrimination) Bill.
The Monarchy is hereditary. Those seeking a republic wish to see the abolition of the monarchy and an elected head of state. That is a distinct argument from the rules of law governing succession to the Crown which are based on the common law principle of male primogeniture. Thus, the eldest son of the reigning monarch will succeed in preference to younger brothers. Daughters come after sons. Basically, this is how freehold interests in land used to be inherited on an intestacy prior to reforms in the property legislation of 1925 - in particular, the Administration of Estates Act 1925.
Deputy Primer Minister Nick Clegg has expressed the view that the law ought to be amended by abolishing the male primogeniture rules so that, for example, if a daughter was born before a son, the daughter would inherit. This idea appears to have been well received by the government in New Zealand.
There is a strong view that the consent of those Commonwealth nations where the Queen is head of state would be needed to amend this law. Prior to World War Two, imperial conferences were held and these make a fascinating study (see National Archives). The outcome of conferences held in 1926 and 1930 was the Statute of Westminster 1931. The unusually lengthy Preamble to this refers to the succession to the Crown and the need to obtain the consent of certain named "Dominions" to changes. The Preamble to an Act does not, strictly speaking, alter the law (Attorney-General v Prince Ernest Augustus of Hanover) but it is at least very persuasive in the interpretation of the Act. Furthermore, the preamble to the 1931 Statute appears to be akin to a treaty between the members of what was the emerging British Commonwealth. Whatever the legal position vis-a-vis Commonwealth Nations, the British Government would seek their views and would probably only act to amend the law if there was a clear consensus favouring change.
(See also the latest Succession to the Crown Bill presented by Keith Vaz MP on 18 January 2011; second reading to be on 13 May.)
For historical reasons, the person who inherits the throne must not be Roman Catholic and must not marry a Roman Catholic. A number of Acts come into play: the Bill of Rights 1688, the Coronation Oath Act 1688, the Act of Settlement 1700 and Acts of Union with Scotland and with Ireland. (See the fuller discussion in the Parliamentary Briefing paper). Also see the more recent briefing paper - Act of Settlement and the Protestant Succession, 24 January 2011.
In 1688 the Crown was offered by Parliament to William of Orange and Mary. They were Protestant. The links between the Crown and the established Church became embedded in the law after the Act of Settlement 1700. Whether such links should exist in modern multi-religious and multicultural society is a matter which will no doubt have to be addressed at some stage. The general consensus is probably that the law is very out of date and particularly discriminatory. Nevertheless, it is possible to envisage some very difficult issues arising in this area and this perhaps explains the traditional reluctance within governments to address this particular question.

Chi Thai marks Joey Chang's venture into Thai food.
But, as the name is meant to imply, plenty of Chinese food is found on the large menu.
From the outside, the restaurant is part of a nondescript strip mall on the northern edge of Gahanna. Inside, the room is spacious and elegant, with white tablecloths.
A star from the appetizer list is the salt-and-pepper calamari ($7.95). Neither battered nor breaded, the pieces of calamari are stir-fried with plenty of chopped garlic, an assortment of minced peppers (some are spicy) and coarse salt.
The heat, garlic and salt combine to make a vibrant seasoning for the calamari, which, with this treatment, doesn't turn to rubber.
Avocado, green beans, large pearl onions, mushrooms, Oriental eggplant and a choice of meat combine with Thai green curry to make an interesting, rich saute.
The pork option ($12.95), however, has varied in quality. One batch used meat so fatty it seemed to have been cut from pork bellies; in a later version, the meat was fine.
The dish features plenty of sweet curry, cilantro, coconut and coriander seed but is restrained in its spiciness.
Choices are available (chicken, pork or beef) for the Thai lemon-grass salad ($8.95). The chicken, which works very well here, is ground coarsely and tossed with the refreshing combination of lime juice, fresh cilantro, hot peppers and, of course, lemon grass. It's particularly good on warm days.
But the beef version is a classic, the sliced meat well-infused with lots of chili heat along with the refreshing blend.
Thai red curry is used to flavor chunks of sea bass ($12.95). Like the green curry, Chi Thai's version has a sweet background against which chili, makoud, basil and galangal blend together. None is prominent at the expense of the others.
The pad Thai ($11.95) is accurately stir-fried and attractively presented with chicken and shrimp atop al-dente rice noodles, with fresh bean sprouts and carrot strips on the side. The kitchen doesn't use dried shrimp or shrimp paste.
Among the vegetable dishes, the Shanghai greens ($9.95) are simple but effective: chopped fresh Chinese celery stir-fried with strips of fresh ginger and slices of garlic. The dish is bright green without being undercooked.
A top vegetarian dish features cubes of tofu fried attractively crisp before being doused with Chinese black-bean sauce and minced hot peppers and garlic, along with a bit of soy sauce. It's a good choice for those who haven't taken a shine to the usual consistency of tofu (Szechwan bean curd, $9.95).
The dessert of choice is the light presentation of fragrant litchis and pineapple chunks on coconut ice cream ($2.95).
The wine list surpasses the perfunctory lineup often found at Asian restaurants. Many listings go well with food, including spicy dishes.
An easy choice: the 2005 Gruner Veltliner bottled by Laurenz ($24.95), a straightforward rendition of the increasingly popular Austrian white grape that is crisp, uncomplicated, easy to drink when chilled and restrained in alcohol.

Innate immunity: Linking mitochondria and microbes to inflammasomes
Nature Reviews Immunology 12, 4 (01 April 2012) | doi:10.1038/nri3195
Two recent studies published in Immunity further our understanding of the mechanisms of inflammasome activation. Khare et al. define the role of microbial lipopeptides in the activation of the NLRP7 (NOD-, LRR- and pyrin domain-containing 7) inflammasome in human macrophages. Shimada et al. implicate oxidized mitochondrial DNA as the link between apoptosis and NLRP3 inflammasome activation.
Inflammasomes are protein scaffolds that assemble in response to pathogens or stress signals and promote the release of the pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and IL-18. IL-1β release has been shown to be induced by acylated lipopeptides, which are potent immune stimulatory pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and are the main Mycoplasma spp. PAMPs that cause macrophage activation. However, the mechanism of inflammasome activation was not known. Khare et al. showed that treatment of human macrophages with live or heat-killed Mycoplasma spp. caused a redistribution of the inflammasome component ASC from the nucleus to the cytosol and the secretion of mature IL-1β. Moreover, microbial acylated lipopeptides were sufficient to cause these effects.
Using small interfering RNAs to silence the expression of individual NLRPs, NLRP7 was found to be specifically involved in sensing microbial acylated lipopeptides and inducing IL-1β secretion through inflammasome formation. However, NLRP7-induced IL-1β secretion required an independent priming step that was mediated by Toll-like receptor 2, which also senses acylated lipopeptides and induces the transcription of IL1B in a nuclear factor-κB-dependent manner. Experiments using an inflammasome reconstitution system confirmed that NLRP7, ASC and caspase 1 are sufficient for the inflammasome response to Mycoplasma spp. and acylated lipopeptides. The leucine-rich repeats of NLRP7 seem to be necessary for this activity, although the authors were unable to observe a direct interaction between NLRP7 and lipopeptides. Importantly, the NLRP7 inflammasome response was shown to restrict the replication of intracellular bacteria, identifying a new role for NLRP7 in host defence.
For the NLRP3 inflammasome, three models of activation have been proposed: reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, lysosomal damage and cytosolic potassium ion (K+) efflux. Findings by Shimada et al. suggest that these events are all associated with mitochondrial dysfunction, which triggers apoptosis and NLRP3 inflammasome activation. In support of this, they show that activation of NLRP3 during Chlamydia pneumoniae infection was associated with the release of lactate dehydrogenase, decreased mitochondrial membrane potential and nuclear condensation (which are markers of apoptosis). In addition, treatment of bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) with the mitochondrial inhibitor cyclosporin A attenuated IL-1β secretion in response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and ATP. Exposure of BMDMs to high extracellular K+ concentrations also blocked IL-1β secretion and protected from apoptosis. Pro-apoptotic stimuli activated caspase 1 and induced IL-1β secretion via the NLRP3 inflammasome, but only when given after priming with LPS. Finally, overexpression of the anti-apoptotic protein BCL-2 abrogated IL-1β maturation triggered by NLRP3-activating stimuli. Together, these findings suggest that, in the presence of a pro-inflammatory signal, NLRP3 inflammasome activation is triggered by mitochondrial apoptotic signalling.
Further investigation revealed that mitochondrial DNA that is released into the cytosol interacts with NLRP3 and activates the NLRP3 inflammasome. Moreover, the finding that oxidized mitochondrial DNA (which is probably generated by mitochondrial ROS during apoptosis) could outcompete normal mitochondrial DNA in the induction of IL-1β secretion suggested that cytosolic oxidized mitochondrial DNA is responsible for activating the NLRP3 inflammasome.

D'Amour Museum of Fine Arts Exhibits
Sisterhood: Mixed Media Paintings by Rosa Ibarra
September 15th, 2012 through October 14th, 2012
Michele & Donald D'Amour Museum of Fine Arts
Rosa Ibarra was born in Puerto Rico, spent her childhood in Old San Juan, and went to high school in Paris. She studied painting as a child with her father, Alfonso Arana, a renowned Puerto Rican artist. She holds a degree in fine arts from the University of Massachusetts and has done post-graduate studies in France. Her paintings have been exhibited in numerous galleries across the country and abroad, and her work is being used in school textbooks.
Ibarra's work focuses mainly on women and children. Inspired by the subtle beauty of a soft facial expression, the radiation of strength, or a quiet moment of contemplation Ibarra conveys the humanness of the figure. The artist paints in oil and uses different layers to emphasize the vibration of light, creating complex, multi-dimensional texture. In her mixed media pieces Ibarra uses materials that move her, such as sea glass from the beaches of old San Juan, gold and silver leaf, or abalone shells. This approach allows her to recreate experiences and share them with the viewer.
The exhibition has been planned in conjunction with Hispanic Heritage Month.

Looking for Capital to Start Your Business?
Are you wondering how to obtain small business financing so that you can turn your dream business into a reality? Would you like to know the best ways to obtain small business loans? Or maybe you want to know more about angel investors or venture capitalists. We highly encourage you to read our review of three solid resources that can help you with your new business financing in our article, Small Business Financing: How to Obtain the Capital You Need to Start Your Business.
Business Overview:
If you're looking for a highly lucrative but largely untapped business opportunity, you should learn how to start a judgment recovery business. Every day civil judgments are being awarded in courts all over the world, but what many people don't realize is that 80% of all judgments awarded in courts are never paid. What this means is that when one person (the plaintiff) sues another person (the defendant) in a small claims court, and wins the case, 80% of the time they never receive the money awarded. The reason this happens is because courts cannot collect the money for the judgment winners; the collection of the money awarded is actually up to the judgment winners themselves. Many powerful enforcement tools are available to the winner to help them collect their winnings, yet most judgment winners do not know how about them. Therefore with no pressure to pay up from the courts, the defendants, in 80% of the cases, are able to walk away without ever paying the judgment. With a judgment recovery business you help judgment winners to collect the debt that is rightfully theirs by utilizing the various collection methods available. In most countries the defendants' wages can be garnished, property can be taken and sold, bank accounts can be frozen and turned over, drivers' licenses can be suspended, and much more. With this business you will make full use of the array of enforcement tools available to help your clients to get their money. Having done so, you then charge your client a percentage of the money won. The percentage charged by judgment recovery specialists varies, but successfully retrieving an awarded $6,000 USD for your client could easily earn your business as much as 50% ($3,000). Therefore you can potentially make huge profits if you target higher-end clients seeking to retrieve big money awards. Indeed, the profit making potential behind this business idea is truly huge because judgment recovery is a largely untapped service. Despite recent figures showing that $200 billion USD (including $41 billion USD in uncollected child support payments) is owed in the USA alone, judgment recovery is a fairly low-competition business. Many entrepreneurs haven't yet realized or tapped into the potentially massive opportunity presented by the mass of unpaid debt that is currently left outstanding. Therefore, if you start this business it is unlikely that you will face much competition, at least locally. What's more, you can easily run this business from the comfort of your own home, and you can do so safely and with peace of mind because the actual garnishing of money from defendants will be done for you by local sheriffs or levying officers. You will contact these authorities and utilize them for your client to help them obtain their winnings, but you won't have to personally confront defendants in order to do so. So if you're looking for a lucrative and freedom-enhancing business opportunity, this could well be the business for you.
A Day in the Life of a Judgment Recovery Business Owner:
This article brought to you by Business Ideas! If you enjoyed this article, make sure to subscribe to the Business Ideas Newsletter to get ideas sent straight to your email inbox.As a judgment recovery business owner, your day will begin with a check of your schedule to review which cases you have to work on today. You will then set out to recover the debt owed by the defendant to your clients. To do this you will make use of one of more of the various methods available to you. For example, you can have defendants warned that their wages may be garnished, that their property can be taken and sold, that bank accounts can be frozen and turned over, and that their driver's license can be suspended (among other possible measures). If such warnings were to prove ineffective, you would set about actually enforcing these measures in order to obtain the owed money. While you will be taking action to retrieve money for judgment winners from defendants, it is important to know that you will never have to personally confront defendants. Instead, you will be contacting the local sheriff's departments, or levying officers, and they will do all the garnishing for you. Having successfully collected the money on behalf of your client, you will then charge your client a percentage of the money won.
About Your Customers:
Your customers will be individuals who have won lawsuits, but have been unable to collect the money owed to them by defendants.
What You Need to Start:
- Training in judgment recovery (courses are available locally in most places)
- Access to a local courthouse so that you can go through civil records for a list of potential clients
- Access to public records databases to help you locate and assess a debtor's assets
- Accounting software
- Business license
The Good:
- You'll be helping judgment winners to retrieve money that is rightfully theirs.
- There's a huge market of potential clients for this business—80% of all judgments awarded in courts are never paid.
- Despite the huge market, this business is relatively uncompetitive.
- Due to the huge market and relative lack of competition, you can potentially make huge profits if you target the right types of clients.
- You can start this business at a low cost.
- You can start and run this business from the comfort of your own home.
The Bad:
- Starting a judgment recovery business will require you to invest in training in judgment recovery methods and procedures.
- You will need to be very proactive with your marketing, as many potential clients won't know that judgment recovery services even exist.
- California Association of Judgment Professionals
- National Judgment Network

CAIRO – A leading Muslim organization has launched a new awareness campaign in the central US state of Florida to present an accurate image of Islam and create new opportunities for dialogue with American society.
"Our goal is to reach out and start a dialogue with our fellow Americans," Dr. Zahid Bukhari, president of the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA), said in a press release obtained by OnIslam.net."We see it as our responsibility to introduce our faith, Islam, and clarify any misconceptions about American Muslims."
Launched on the New Year eve, the campaign "Why Islam" features 29 billboards and latest web technology to drive traffic to ICNA's YouTube channel and website.
It also includes advertisements on AM Talk radio stations.
A direct call center is already in place to take phone calls to help the callers with the up to date information about Islam by calling 1 (877) Why – Islam (949-47526).
The campaign is the result of a collaborative effort by ICNA in partnership with other American local charities as the American Muslim Community Centers), the United Muslim Foundation and Islamic Center of Orlando.
The effort is not the first by ICNA to present an accurate image of Islam.
Last year, the organization offered free copies of holy Qur'an as well as Islamic pamphlets in front of public libraries as part of its campaign.
The pamphlets covered a number of subjects, including the relationship of Muslims to Christians and Jews, human rights, status of women, the afterlife, worship and one titled "What does Islam say about terrorism?"
US Muslims, estimated at between six to eight million, have been sensing a growing hostility following a hearing presented by Republican representative Peter King on what he described as "radicalization" of US Muslims.
A recent report by the Council on American-Islamic Relations, the University of California and Berkeley's Center for Race and Gender found that Islamophobia in the US is on the rise.
A US survey had also revealed that the majority of Americans know very little about Muslims and their faith.
A recent Gallup poll had found that 43 percent of Americans Nationwide admitted to feeling at least "a little" prejudice against Muslims.
True Islam
Joining the campaign, American Muslim charities were excited for being part of a campaign spreading true information about their faith.
"We are happy to contribute towards this worthy cause to get accurate message about Islam to all Americans," said AMCC Chairman Atif Fareed.
"Thanks to Allah and all the religious freedoms we enjoy living in the United States of America, American Muslims are able to freely practice their religion."
Masuma Virji, Chairperson of United Muslim Foundation (UMF), agrees.
"Islam has so much in common with Christianity and Judaism," Virji said.
"UMF is excited to be a part of launching this project during the holiday season, to encourage everyone to call in and learn more about Islam or to get in touch with UMF for local informative presentations."
The campaign followed recent ad campaigns against Islam sponsored by by Islamophobic blogger Pamela Geller.
In September, Geller sponsored an inflammatory advertisement equating Jihad to savagery appeared in ten subway stations in New York City.
The "Why Islam" campaign is not the first in the US to counter hate ads.
Last month, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) launched "MyJihad" educational campaign to share the proper meaning of Jihad as believed and practiced by the majority of Muslims.In October, CAIR championed a campaign to counter the anti-Jihad ads with signs reading a passage from Noble Qur'an saying: "Show forgiveness, speak for justice and avoid the ignorant."

I think as societies, including ours, continue to learn, evolve and be inspired by authenticity, people looking for footwear, they want something that's real. I think reinforcing values about hard work and maybe we do need to go back to the basics.Red Wing Shoe Company, it's family owned.
And when you come here, you're working with people that live and breathe footwear and leather. Daryl G. Mark: Well, daily you'llreceive blue from Twin City Tanning Company and blue is chrome-tanned leather, which is the finest base tannage for footwear.We're doing the leathers that have
the aesthetics and also have the enduring qualities. Dave Hill: We make ourown leathers. All of those things that are signature components, our DNA, the triple stitching, the heavy welting, and the fact that we're still doing it here is remarkable. So that seems to resonate with people.It was not uncommon when I
was growing up in the leather business, so to speak, to have four generations of families that worked there. That's the beauty of it, the same hands are always working with the product. That work ethic that comes through, you've got a tremendous amount of loyalty and that longevity is...I think that's part of the secret.The image of a tough worker,
whether it's male or female, we enhance that. Because those people that do those kinds of jobs where you're doing physical labor and/or things that require strenuous activity or arduous conditions, or whatever, I think those people expect a product that's going to withstand that. And by the same token, our heritage is that we make all of our stuff with durable, really gutsy, high performance leathers. I think they're symbiotic, they feed off of each other.The signature details that
we have with our triple stitching, with the weight of the leathers, it's almost like you're building a house. You have to have a strong foundation and, literally, the foundation is your out-sole. We won't ever get away from that because, that's one of those components that, you build a good house, you put a nice siding on it or you landscape the trees, it's got to do a lot of things to make people happy in their, in their work environment but they also want them to look good. SPEAKER: These are just afew of the many good reasons why men who work on their feet all day buy Red Wings. Add them all up and it comes down to just one thing - with Red Wings you get what you pay for and then some.
A visit to Red Wing's factory located in the Mississippi Valley to take an in-depth look within the company. From the initial leather inspection to the final quality control phase, an observation and report of the secrets behind Red Wing's 100-plus years in the game.

Hobe Sound cat sanctuary itself in need of rescuing | Photo gallery
PALM CITY — The Hobe Sound Animal Protection League, a no-kill shelter that has been saving cats since 2000, is in need of its own rescue.
The nonprofit is having to move from its 10-year location at Caring Fields Sanctuary in Palm City, which houses their facility, a care center, 11 feeding houses and a host of shelters.
The league needs to raise $500,000 through its Paws Forward: New Quarters for Cats campaign to buy property and build new facilities. Just days after announcing its capital campaign, an anonymous donor gave $100,000.
"We are very grateful to receive this generous donation and for the confidence in our organization that it represents," said Virginia Sherlock, league president. "Funds raised through our campaign will ensure the legacy and protection of our feline friends in the coming years."
To donate to the capital campaign or to the daily needs of the more than 180 cats cared for daily, go to www.hsapl.org, or send donations to P.O. Box 80, Palm City, FL 34991.
To volunteer, contact Lori Hendricks, volunteer coordinator, at firstname.lastname@example.com. To drop off food, litter or old towels, go directly to the sanctuary at 6452 S.W. Markel St., Palm City.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- A gauge of the U.S. service sector fell in February to the lowest level in four months, with slower readings for employment and new business, Markit reported Monday. The index hit 52.7 in February, down from 56.7 in January. Readings above 50 indicate an expansion, with higher readings signaling faster expansions. "The unusually severe winter weather undoubtedly looks to have taken its toll on the economy in the first quarter," said Chris Williamson, Markit's chief economist.
