Rep. Luis V. Gutierrez said Thursday that President Obama squandered his chance to take the lead on immigration, and said the best role the president can play now is to cheer along the progress in Congress and try to rally support outside the Capitol.
"The moment for the president to be the sole leader on immigration that moment passed. He had four years," Mr. Gutierrez, Illinois Democrat, said in an interview taped for C-SPAN's "Newsmakers" program, scheduled to air Sunday. "The moment is passed. The moment today is for all of us in the House and in the Senate, in collaboration with this president."
Mr. Gutierrez said the White House should allow the process to play out in the Senate, where negotiators unveiled their bill this week, and in the House, where Mr. Gutierrez is part of a bipartisan group working on what is likely to be a more conservative plan.
The eight senators who wrote the plan introduced it early Wednesday morning, but officially rolled it out Thursday at a news conference, where they said they were preparing for a tough legislative fight.
"Today is just the beginning of our voyage," said Sen. Charles E. Schumer, New York Democrat. "It will be long and arduous. There will be perils we can't even anticipate, but we start off with optimism because this bipartisan agreement gives us a sturdy ship to ride out the stormy seas ahead."
The Senate proposal would first legalize illegal immigrants and give them the right to work in the U.S. But it would withhold their full pathway to citizenship until the government meets benchmarks on border security including proving it is catching or turning back 90 percent of all illegal border crossings.
Immigration has been a touchy political issue for more than a decade, and while all sides agree that the system is broken, efforts to overhaul it in 2006 and 2007 fell short.
Last year's elections elevated the issue again though it will still be a major lift to get a bill through the Democrat-controlled Senate and the GOP-run House, where key Republicans were skeptical of the Senate approach.
"While the bill makes a good-faith effort to overhaul our broken immigration system, there are some flaws which could lead to the same problems in the future that we have today," said House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte, Virginia Republican, who checked off the need for stiffer enforcement and said he is worried that the Senate relies on budget gimmicks to try to keep the cost low.
A number of thorny questions remain for those writing bills. One of those is what happens in the interim period between the time the president signs a bill and the initial legalization happens a six-month period, in the Senate bill.
Mr. Gutierrez said it will be up to Mr. Obama to unilaterally halt most deportations at that point.
The congressman said there is a good precedent for doing that. He said that was what President Reagan did in 1986, which was the last time Congress passed an amnesty for illegal immigrants.
Mr. Gutierrez clashed with Mr. Obama on immigration for much of his first term. In 2010, he was arrested outside of the White House as part of a protest against the rate of deportations under the Obama administration.
But that high rate of deportations is also ammunition that Mr. Gutierrez said he can use to persuade immigrant rights advocates to accept a long, arduous pathway to citizenship.
"I think the end goal is what is essential," he said. "First and foremost, it's 1,400 today, 1,400 tomorrow that will be deported, and it goes undeterred 1.6 million during the last four years unprecedented number of deportations. That stops. That stops. And I think that's a huge part of what is pushing comprehensive immigration reform."
Mr. Gutierrez said in the end, he expects "the immense majority" of the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants in the country will qualify for legalization.
Anticipating the legislative fights to come, members of the "Gang of Eight" emphasized that their plan bolsters national security through the proposed E-Verify system and stronger border security and also ensures that American workers get the first crack at open jobs.
"The status quo threatens our security, damages our economy, disregards the rule of law and neglects our humanitarian responsibilities," said Sen. John McCain, Arizona Republican. "A problem of that magnitude that affects so many of our interests will never be easy to address but never more necessary to address either."
Sen. Marco Rubio, Florida Republican, also went on a public relations blitz, assuring conservative radio outlets that the proposal, among other things, does not lead to "amnesty."
Mr. McCain also said the bill will go through the normal legislative process starting with committee hearings next month but that the eight senators are poised to act together and defeat any amendment that would kill the bill outright.
"We are also committed to vote against amendments or proposals or changes that would kill the bill," Mr. McCain said. "We're not saying it's a perfect piece of legislation, and we think it can be improved on, but we also know opponents will be proposing amendments that, if passed, could collapse this very fragile coalition that we've been able to achieve."
Mr. Gutierrez, too, predicted difficult sailing for the legislation, and he said that will be when Mr. Obama can best play a role.
"Look, there's going to come some hard times and we're going to need him to use that bully pulpit, I believe, in the future," he said. "It's going to get stymied, there's going to be hiccups, you guys have been around long enough, we're going to need him there, so he is critical and essential to this process."

Some time ago, I inherited a stack of magic from an older magician who was clearing out his basement. One of the items was a miniature grandmother's-necklace-based rope penetration.
It is a 3-sided cabinet. All three pieces are about 8-inches tall. The side pieces are about 18 inches long and they connect to the back piece which is about 20 inches long with a few wingnuts. The sides have two holes drilled side-by-side near the middle. A couple of ropes are apparently tied around a young lady and then threaded through the holes; she magically steps forward, penetrating the ropes.
The pieces are plywood, painted red and yellow.
Abbott's shows a mini-illusion called "MLady Steps Forward" which is similar, but not the same.
Any ideas on the identity of this piece?

Stuart Wheeler wins the bigger battle
Thanks to everyone who contributed to Stuart Wheeler's legal fund. As I type this on the flight from Valladolid, I see in ABC (the Telegraph's sister paper) that "el millonario euroescéptico" has lost his court challenge for a referendum on the
European Constitution Lisbon Treaty.
There was never much chance that a judge would overrule the government once both Houses of Parliament had approved the Bill. Stuart, who knows a thing or two about odds, understood this. But he also understood that securing a judicial review would itself be a victory, keeping the issue alive during the Irish referendum campaign and obliging the British Government to make a tit of itself by arguing that the new text was somehow different from the old. Mission accomplished.
Talking of odds, there is now an almost universal assumption that there will be a second referendum in Ireland, probably in March. I am sticking to my prediction that, once they look seriously at the polling data, Irish Europhiles will back down. But I am now virtually in a minority of one: my blog has been amiably fisked by Open Europe, and every one of the 27 governments, including Ireland's, is preparing for a new plebiscite.
The risks and gains to Brian Cowen are asymmetrical. If he were to win, he'd be slightly better off than he is now. But if he were to lose again, he might well have to resign, and the European cause would be irreparably damaged. So, before embarking on a second campaign, Biffo wouldn't just have to think that he was going to win; he'd have to know it. And, given the way opinion polls have consistently underestimated the "No" vote, I don't believe he could ever be certain.
In any case, why risk a referendum when Brussels can get what it wants through executive fiat and judicial activism? Euro-integrationists are very good at occupying terrain stealthily, house by house, field by field. But when they draw up the phalanxes and offer pitched battle, they almost invariably lose. They won't be in a hurry to repeat that mistake.

Listen to a talk by a top naturalist in Boston
From 02 May 2013 To 02 May 2013Address
New England Aquarium, 1 Central Wharf, Boston, MA 02110
It is often said that we know less about the depths of our seas than we do about the moon, but thankfully, there are people who have been studying the oceans for years and so can help to add to our knowledge of marine life.
Artist, author and naturalist James Prosek is one expert who is on a mission to educate the masses about the wonders of the seas - and guests at Boston hotels can catch up with him at the New England Aquarium on May 2nd.
That evening, he well deliver a talk entitled Perspectives of an Artist/Naturalist as part of the Aquarium Lecture Series.
It coincides with the publication of his latest book Ocean Fishes, which provides information on 35 important species that could be lost to us in the future due to issues like pollution and overfishing.
He will also touch on his knowledge of eels based on his own research, so it is sure to be a fascinating night.
It couldn't be easier for residents of the Millennium Bostonian Hotel Boston to get to the aquarium, as it is just an eight-minute walk away via Clinton Street.

FFII: EU Trade Agreement with Korea Endangers Developers
The Foundation for a Free Information Infrastructure (FFII) perceives the free trade agreement of the EU with Korea as a massive competitive disadvantage to the EU and a danger to software developers, free software projects and small and mid-sized companies.
The protest of the FFI addresses the Korea Free Trade Agreement clause for intellectual property rights where large penalties for patent infringements are established. Covered among them are damage payments, destruction of production materials and removal of online software repositories. Circumstantial evidence is enough to initiate seizures and injunctions and any accusation can lead to frozen development. Thus the FFI, after its analysis, came to the conclusion that the Korean Free Trade Agreement was a threat to software providers, free software projects, and actually any undertaking that in any way implements software.
FFI analyst Ante Wessels finds the sanctions to have disproportionate penalties: "These strong measures may be justified against hard core counterfeiters. They are not justified against software developers. Software patents are so broad in scope, doubtful in validity, and so numerous that unintentional infringement is unavoidable in the normal course of business. Therefore, competitors and patent trolls can always find a stick to hit software companies, companies that use software and free software projects. The whole sector is at risk." He adds, "How many small and medium-sized enterprises have the money to defend themselves against this?"
The EU and Republic of Korea concluded the agreement after two years of secret negotiations. The agreement should now be ratified by the EU parliament and member nations. The FFII characterizes the intellectual property clauses of the agreement as detrimental to innovation and recommends that the EU parliament strike them from the agreement.

Saturday's Big 12 Championship between Oklahoma and Missouri might seem like a bit of a mismatch, but it's still the most important game of the year outside of the Alabama-Florida SEC title tilt. If OU wins, they'll play for the BCS title, while a Missouri upset would throw the BCS into chaos.
(Good seats still available, OU fans)
Despite all this, it's not exactly the hottest ticket in Kansas City. Even with an in-state university playing in the game, there are nearly 8,000 seats unsold as of today. Guess the Tiger fans aren't too confident of their team's prospects in this one.
The Chiefs are hosting the game at Arrowhead Stadium, and the KANSAS CITY STAR says they're a bit concerned about the lack of a sell-out crowd:
"It's a concern every year at this time," said Chiefs senior vice president Bill Newman. "Unlike an MU-KU game, where you know who's going to be playing here, you've got all year to be promoting that. We just found out last Sunday afternoon which of the three teams in the South was going to be there. So we've had four days to move a huge amount of tickets. It's not a slam dunk."
The Chiefs apparently guaranteed a crowd of 72,000 to the Big 12, which actually doesn't necessarily mean that all of those seats have even been sold yet. Arrowhead seats about 80,000.
Honestly, it's not all that surprising that the game hasn't sold out. Most Sooner fans are probably counting on an easy win, and K.C. is just far enough away from Oklahoma to be a nuisance to get to. OU fans are likely planning their trips to Miami already.
As for Mizzou fans, they probably aren't too keen on paying $85 to watch their team get beat 65-17. Especially since the Tigers just played at Arrowhead last Saturday and lost to Kansas.
Newman is still holding out hope that people in Missouri just don't know they can still get tickets and might want to drive to the game (hey, gas is cheap!):
Newman said it was hard to determine whether Missouri's loss last week deflated Tigers fans' interest in returning to Arrowhead for a rematch of last year's Big 12 championship game in San Antonio, where Oklahoma defeated Missouri 38-17.
"I would think that would be the case," Newman said. "I think Missouri is probably going to dominate the house, but there are people in St. Louis and even in this region who didn't realize they could still get tickets.
At this point, though, don't you think that maybe some deranged Texas fans might buy up some tickets and go root for the Tigers? What could be more satisfying for Horns' supporters than seeing OU's dreams crushed in person?

Although the Frontera strategies for sales and marketing all have maximum return of investment as the goal, the specific approach is customized to each individual property. This begins with a deep and comprehensive analysis of the property, the market, customer segmentation, and areas of opportunity. We then customize a sales and marketing strategy that encompasses revenue management, local and global sales, web marketing, wholesale and OTA optimization, social media, and digital advertising.
Frontera provides each property with full revenue management support from systems management, pre-opening or ramp-up setup, weekly strategy review calls, channel optimization, forecasting, and annual budget planning.
The hallmark of a Frontera managed hotel is it's guest centered service philosophy. From our recruitment process to our individual and team training programs, we strive to create and maintain a guest loving culture that is directly aligned with the brand's standards of service.
In line with Frontera's vision of enhancing the hotel's unique identity in the market, we customize our menu offering based on the environment we operate in so that the end product is enhanced with local flair and the service delivery is more personal. We work with the hotel team in developing a more robust menu without compromising profitability by establishing proper expense and inventory controls.
Frontera is an approved management company for the following brands: Hilton Hotels, Starwood Hotels, Intercontinental Hotels Group, Hyatt Hotels, Carlson Rezidor, La Quinta and Choice Hotels. As such, we are devoted to upholding the integrity of the assets we manage, whatever flag it may represent. We take great pride in defining the fine balance of achieving excellent standing with each brand partnership, without compromising the interests of the investors we represent. In the process, we acknowledge and accept total commitment to the financial success of our owners and investors by carefully positioning and operating individual hotels as unique and successful profit centers.
A fearless and dynamic leader, revered in the highest stature by his team of associates and investors, Peter brings with him over thirty years of global hospitality experience with a proven track record for streamlining hotel operations through product enhancement and human asset development. Upon taking the helm of any organization, Peter zealously provides unwavering commitment and direction to the corporation and to the professionals he represents.
His innate desire for excellence and his infectious yearning for growth filter down to each and every subordinate he leads. During his 5 year tenure as the Senior Vice President of Operations for Highgate Hotels, he was instrumental in bringing 13 more hotels in the portfolio. While overseeing multiple acquisitions and brand conversions, one of his properties was privileged to bag the distinction of being the "Finest Westin Conversion Award," honored by Starwood hotels. All these in addition to having direct and indirect responsibility for 32 combined assets, whose total revenue for 2008 exceeded $1.6 billion, with total asset valued at $4.6 billion.

I certainly woudn't accept, she's got a knife >.>


text: For some reason my 360S will only connect at a rate of 5.5Mbps on Wireless N (B/G works fine). Manually changing the rate in the router System console (wl rate 54) fixes the problem temporarily. I've tried doing a Factory Reset on the 360, changing any setting that might be relevant on the router and even put a Airport Express right next to the 360 (it doesn't do any better). Does anyone else have trouble with their RT-N66U and a Xbox 360 Slim while using 11n?

The Cult of Hackers
Hackers are typically portrayed as one of two stereotypes: digital Robin Hoods taking on the Internet's wired establishment or sinister masterminds who can upend everyday users' lives with their technical exploits.
In reality, hackers - who tend to resist that blanket term in favor of more specialized designations, such as cracker, white hat or black hat -- are usually tech-savvy individuals experimenting with their skill sets by probing applications and Web sites for vulnerabilities, security expert Ryan Russell told NewsFactor.

Alderwoman Linda Nikcevich won't seek re-election to the Wauwatosa Common Council. She filed non-candidacy papers with the city's clerk's office today.
Nikcevich will finish out her term, which ends in April. As for future plans, she declined in an interview to say whether she planned to run for another office within the city or another level of government.
"I will continue to serve this community long after my term is completed," she wrote in a letter announcing her plans to end her time on the council at the end of her first, four-year term. This is my community where I live, am raising my family and will continue to volunteer and lead in other ways.
Aldermen received election paperwork along with their council meeting packets about a week ago, Nikcevich said. She wanted to make her decision promptly "to give others a change to consider running for office," she said.
Candidate packets for the April 2012 election - the mayor and one aldermanic seat from each of the city's eight districts will be on the ballot - are now available at the clerk's office and on the city website.
Who should run, in Nikcevich's opinion: People who have been active the community who want to take it to the next level. It also helps to have time to devote to answering constituent calls on topics varying from dog bites to overgrown lawns within the district as well as broader city issue like spending to fix sewers and bolstering economic development.
Nikcevich said she's worked to support the East Tosa neighborhoods and business associations; pushed for more transparency in government by having the meetings where appointments for open aldermanic seats conducted in open session and recorded; and is still working on forming a marketing committee to better promote Wauwatosa and communicate its benefits locally and throughout the region.
"I still have a long time until April and a lot of work to do," she said.

So, yes. He's full out naked. But my requester requested such, and I had to oblige. The opportunity to paint Roberto naked? How could I not indulge? A major focus for this piece was to try and make him look actually Brazilian, and not just like a white guy with a tan. I didn't push as hard as I should have, especially since Sunspot is Afro-Brazilian and this dude is leaning Euro-Brazilian. Next time I will do better, kiddies. But yes. The only other stipulation was that he be putting on his classic yellow boots. Seems he forgot to put on his costume first cause I have no idea how he's going to tuck that black spandex into those booties. Anyway, hope you guys like him as much as I enjoyed painting him .
I love this so damn much it is unreal. I LOVE IT! Like Schiele but full of charm instead of agony
This is really nice. The thing about Sunspot is that he is one of the few biracial characters in comics. His mother is red-headed and looks 100% white, his dad is Afro-Brazilian, so your rendition here is within the realm of possibility. Love the tattoo also.
He looks...delicious.
In love! *¬*
This is hot.
So very hot.
So very hot.
awesome! He looks like Jon Snow.
well done his face is amazing
this is HOT.
(i love your art by the way. it stirs something deep within me - and that may or may not be dirty ^_^)
much love,

Beautifully painted!
Well damn!

This is sooooo prefect! <3
Just perfect! :0
I knew he was gay! Nobody is that good at painting without a gay gene, all kidding aside, nice drawing
Great pic -- but if it's Sunspot, his skin tone should be a little darker. ; )
Oh no, he's hot!
Cannonball next... OMG I'd Die.
I think I'm in love
Wow, really sexy. I think you should an entire series like this... just sayin'
Awesome work, and very original for the typical DA line.
Amazing work. Also you've made him smoking hot Reminds me of Marlon Texeiera
The artwork is really good...but...Im brazilian...and he have Argentine face...sorry mate...but he seems from Argentina :/ Anyway...is a great job, really! And your paint technique continues to evolve! Congratz!!
I love everything about this, but especially how you painted his face. It's beautiful.
May I ask what you used for this? Watercolours? Gouache?
May I ask what you used for this? Watercolours? Gouache?

Great job with the tan lines.
Absolutely brilliant! Perfect in every way.
I can't stop looking at him (feeling like a perv ♥)

Ahh, Kevin, this is so gorgeous, I love your nude drawings. Gotta check that tumblr of yours more often! He looks hot!
I Adore your art keep it up.
Amazing Job!
The sun missed ONE spot!
Gotta say, I love the idea, even if it is just a gratuitous shot of newdz sunzpotz. I mean, he's gotta have maximum sun coverage sooooo … makes sense …. right?? (though the tanline is hilarious and cute) Love the addition of the boots. And that hair, swooooosh.

Video Game: Chu Chu Rocket
ChuChu Rocket is a multiplayer video game by Sonic Team for the SEGA Dreamcast, later adapted for the Game Boy Advance and for iOS devices. The object of the game is to (for the most part) put little space-mickey-mice thinggies into four different-colored rockets to get them away from KapuKapus, i.e., cats. Basically it's a game of cat-and-mouse, IN SPACE!According to the Excuse Plot, there are four individual pilots for the rockets:
- Chuih, a ChuChu with a blue astronaut suit and stars in his eyes, pilots the blue rocket.
- Chubei, an abnormally large ChuChu with a yellow spacesuit, pilots the yellow rocket.
- Chubach, a thin, green ChuChu with swirly eyes (apparently glasses), pilots the green rocket.
- Chupea, a red female ChuChu with a heart-shaped tail, pilots the red rocket.
Tropes associated with ChuChu Rocket include:
- All There in the Manual: The ChuChu Pilots don't actually appear in the game, but their rockets dothe only way you know of their existence (other than that one game) is through the manual.
- Artificial Stupidity : Even though they're faster than humans, the AIs in the Game Boy Advance port sometimes place arrows incorrectly. For example, if the goals are close together, it may place arrows to direct cats or mice to the wrong rocket.
- Ascended Extra: The Chuchu Pilots Chuih, Chubei, Chupea and Chubach are seen only in the manual, but appear later in Sonic & SEGA All Stars Racing.
- Bag of Holding: Inverted with the rockets, to some degree. Played straight with the holes the ChuChus come out of.
- Cats Are Mean: And orange.
- Escort Mission
- Excuse Plot: The 'plot' of this game is to play as four unseen ChuChu Pilots to get away from giant mutated cats. You soon forget this.
- Game Lobby: The game had this feature. Matches were pretty quick in that game.
- Instant 180 Degree Turn: Normally, if you hit a wall, you turn right (or left if no right turn is possible), but if you reach a dead end, you make a 180. You can also force an instant turn using arrows. Mouse happily turn around, but the arrows only work twice on cats for a 180.
- Law of 100: Some challenge levels require you to rescue 100 mice (or let you win if you lead the CPU player by that many). Coincidently, there's a maximum of 100 mice allowed on the playing field at once.
- Three Arrows At A Time: Challenge or versus modes.
- Programming Game: In Puzzle Mode, the only effect you have on the game is to place the arrows at the beginning of each level. Once you tell it to start, you can only watch what happens.
- Riddle for the Ages: Where do the ChuChus GO in their rockets anyway?
- Shout-Out: A few puzzles reference Sonic the Hedgehog.
- Timed Mission: Each stage challenge needs to be completed in 30 seconds.
- A Winner Is You: At least in the Game Boy Advance version, beating all 2600 puzzles will make a message from Sega appear after the credits, telling the player to send a letter to them in order to get a gift. It Only Works Once, and is probably worth nothing nowadays.

Article: Protective effects of luteolin-7-O-β-D-glucuronide methyl ester from the ethyl acetate fraction of Lycopi Herba against pro-oxidant reactive species and low-density lipoprotein peroxidation[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In this study the potent scavenging activity of "Lycopi Herba" (LH) extract was studied using the following: evaluation of the total phenolics, measuring the antioxidant activity by Trolox equivalent antioxidant concentration, measuring the scavenging effects on reactive oxygen species, on reactive nitrogen species, and measuring the inhibitory effect on Cu(2+) induced human low-density lipoprotein oxidation in vitro. The ethyl acetate fraction from the LH extracts were found to have a potent scavenging activity against all of the reactive species tested, as well as an inhibitory effect on LDL oxidation. Therefore, we isolated and identified luteolin-7-O-beta-D-glucuronide methyl ester as the major compound from the ethyl acetate fraction of LH and their antioxidant activities were evaluated.
Article: RETRACTED: Antioxidant properties of benzylchroman derivatives from Caesalpinia sappan L. against oxidative stress evaluated in vitro[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The antioxidant activity of extracts from Caesalpinia sappan L. (CSL) was studied in vitro by evaluating the total phenolics, measuring the antioxidant activity by TEAC, measuring the scavenging effects on reactive oxygen species (ROS) and on reactive nitrogen species (RNS), and measuring the inhibitory effect on Cu(2+)-induced human low-density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation. The CSL extracts were found to have a potent scavenging activity against all of the reactive species tested, as well as an inhibitory effect on LDL oxidation, especially in the ethyl acetate (EA) fraction. Therefore, we isolated and identified benzylchroman derivatives sappanchalcone (1) and 3'-deoxy-4-O-methylepisappanol (2) from the EA fraction of CSL and their antioxidant activities were evaluated. The studied CSL extracts and the compounds 1 and 2 were revealed to be very effective against the evaluated pro-oxidant species, including ROS and RNS.
Article: RETRACTED: Caesalpinia sappan L. ameliorates hypercholesterolemia in C57BL/6 mice and suppresses inflammatory responses in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) by antioxidant mechanism[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Oxidative stress and inflammatory mediators were measured in the plasma and livers of C57BL/6 mice fed a high-cholesterol diet for 14 weeks and in cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Some of the mice fed with the atherogenic diet received drinking water supplemented with 0.01 g of a 70% ethanol extract of Caesalpinia sappan L. (CSLE) per 20 g of body weight. Numerous parameters were determined: concentrations of total, high-, and low-density cholesterol; atherogenic index; plasma trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC); levels of hepatic thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and protein carbonyls; and the activities of hepatic antioxidant enzymes, including Cu·Zn-SOD, Mn-SOD, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase, and catalase. HUVECs were stimulated with tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) and the expression of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor-1 (LOX-1), adhesion molecules, inhibitory κBα (IκBα), and nuclear factor κB (NFκB) were measured. Compared to mice fed a hypercholesterolemic diet alone, mice fed a hypercholesterolemic diet supplemented with CSLE exhibited decreased total plasma cholesterol and increased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and thus a lower atherogenic index. Furthermore, plasma TEAC and levels of hepatic TBARS and protein carbonyls were significantly decreased in CSLE-supplemented mice (P < 0.05), whereas all hepatic antioxidative indicators were significantly elevated (P < 0.05). In HUVECs stimulated with TNFα, CSLE significantly decreased the expression of intracellular ROS, LOX-1, and adhesion molecules; the degradation of IκBα; and the nuclear translocation of NFκB; in contrast, CSLE induced the expression of Nrf2 and HO-1 (P < 0.05 for all results).
Article: Genistein Suppresses Tumor Necrosis Factor-α-Induced Proliferation via the Apoptotic Signaling Pathway in Human Aortic Smooth Muscle Cells[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) plays a key role in the development of atherosclerosis. Abnormal VSMC proliferation induces vascular dysfunction and several other pathological processes. The present study investigated the apoptotic effects of genistein on tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha)-induced proliferation in human aortic smooth muscle cells (HASMCs). The apoptotic effects of genistein were assessed to determine the mechanism(s) of its antiproliferative activity, including MTT, LDH assay, morphological change of cell, DNA fragmentation, and expression levels of pro- or anti-apoptotic molecules by RT-PCR and Western blots. The results show that genistein significantly reduced cell proliferation in TNF-alpha-induced HASMCs. Genistein also reduced intracellular nuclei staining with DAPI in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, genistein increased nucleosomal DNA fragmentation, increased the expression levels of Bax and c-Myc, and decreased the expression levels of Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL in TNF-alpha-induced HASMCs. Taken together, these findings indicate that genistein regulates the activation of apoptosis-related molecules in TNF-alpha-induced HASMCs, leading to the suppression of proliferation and induction of apoptosis.
Article: Curcumin inhibits TNFalpha-induced lectin-like oxidised LDL receptor-1 (LOX-1) expression and suppresses the inflammatory response in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) by an antioxidant mechanism. J Enzyme Inhib Med Chem[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In this study, the anti-oxidative activities of 70% ethanol extract from Curcuma aromatica Salisb. (CAS) and curcumin (CUR) were studied. The CAS extracts and CUR were both found to have a potent scavenging activity against the reactive species tested, as well as an inhibitory effect on LDL oxidation. Cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were stimulated with tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha), expression of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), nitric oxide (NO), endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), lectin-like oxidised LDL receptor-1 (LOX-1), adhesion molecules, inhibitory kappa Balpha (IkappaBalpha) and nuclear factor kappa B (NFkappaB) were measured. In HUVECs stimulated with TNFalpha, CUR significantly suppressed expression of the intracellular ROS, LOX-1 and adhesion molecules, degradation of IkappaBalpha and translocation of NFkappaB, while inducing production of NO by phosphorylation of eNOS (p <0.05). In conclusion, CAS and CUR may modulate lipoprotein composition and attenuate oxidative stress by elevated antioxidant processes.
Article: Leonurus sibiricus Herb Extract Suppresses Oxidative Stress and Ameliorates Hypercholesterolemia in C57BL/6 Mice and TNF-α Induced Expression of Adhesion Molecules and Lectin-Like Oxidized LDL Receptor-1 in Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In Leonurus sibiricus herb extract (LHE)-supplemented animals, plasma cholesterol decreased and high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol increased, resulting in a lowered atherogenic index. The plasma trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity, levels of hepatic thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances, and protein carbonyl values decreased significantly in LHE-supplemented mice (p<0.05), whereas the hepatic antioxidant indicators were all significantly elevated (p<0.05). In human umbilical vein endothelial cells stimulated with tumor necrosis factor alpha, LHE significantly suppressed intracellular reactive oxygen species, LOX-1, and adhesion molecules. LHE supplementation may modulate the lipoprotein composition and attenuate oxidative stress by elevated antioxidant processes, thus suppressing the activation of inflammatory mediators. This is a possible mechanism of the anti-atherogenic effect.
Article: Effect of bamboo culm extract on oxidative stress and genetic expression: Bamboo culm extract ameliorates cell adhesion molecule expression and NFκB activity through the suppression of the oxidative stress[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This study was designed to investigate whether bamboo culm extract (BCE) supplementation may ameliorate risk factors of cardiovascular diseases, such as hypercholesterolemia. Oxidative stress and inflammatory mediators in plasma, livers of C57BL/6 mice fed high-cholesterol diet and calf pulmonary artery endothelial (CPAE) cells. Briefly, C57BL/6 mice were fed the high-cholesterol diet which was supplemented with 1% (w/w), or 3% (w/w) of BCE for 16 weeks. The concentration of total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol level and atherogenic index were measured. Plasma TEAC value, hepatic thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), protein carbonyl values and hepatic antioxidant enzyme activities, such as Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase (SOD), Mn-SOD, glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), GSH reductase and catalase were determined. In addition, hepatic nuclear factor kappa B activities were detected. In the calf pulmonary artery endothelial (CPAE) cells stimulated with lipopolysaccharide, the expression of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) and intracellular cell adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) were measured. Plasma cholesterol level was decreased, while HDL-cholesterol was increased, thus atherogenic index was lowered in BCE-supplemented animals. Plasma trolox equivalent and hepatic thiobarbituric acid reactive substances and protein carbonyl values were lowered significantly in BCE groups (p<0.05) in a dose-dependent manner. Hepatic antioxidative enzyme activities, such as Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase (SOD), Mn-SOD, glutathione peroxidase (GSH-P), GSH reductase, and catalase were elevated in mice fed BCE-supplemented diets (p<0.05). Nuclear factor kappa B activities of livers and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 and intracellular cell adhesion molecule-1 expressions in CPAE cells stimulated with lipopolysaccharide were significantly lowered in BCE groups (p<0.05). These results suggest that BCE supplementation may modulate lipoprotein composition and attenuate oxidative stress by elevated antioxidative processes, thus suppressing inflammatory mediator activation as possible mechanism of its anti-atherogenic effect.
Article: Bamboo Culm Extract Supplementation Elevates HDL-Cholesterol and Ameliorates Oxidative Stress in C57BL/6 Mice Fed Atherogenic Diet[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Previously, we reported that bamboo culms possess a stronger antioxidative capacity than bamboo leaves in vitro. In this study, we investigated whether bamboo culm extract (BCE) supplementation ameliorates oxidative stress and hepatic nuclear factor kappaB (NF kappa B) activation in C57BL/6 mice fed an atherogenic diet. In addition, the effect of BCE supplementation on plasma lipid levels of the animals was tested. The mice were randomly assigned to a normal diet, an atherogenic diet (control), or an atherogenic diet supplemented with 1% (wt/wt) BCE or 3% (wt/wt) BCE for 16 weeks. Atherogenic diet-induced oxidative stress, measured by hepatic thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances and protein carbonyls, was significantly lower in the BCE-supplemented groups than in the control (P < .05). Total antioxidative capacity was elevated in the BCE groups, along with greater activities of antioxidative enzymes such as superoxide dismutase and catalase, compared to the control or normal groups (P < .05). The hepatic NF kappa B binding activities were significantly lower in the BCE groups as well (P < .05). The high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol level was significantly elevated by BCE supplementation (P < .05), whereas the effects of BCE on triglyceride and total cholesterol were inconsistent. Results from this study suggest that BCE supplementation may lessen oxidative stress via a series of changes, including a reinforced antioxidant system, and also suggest that the lowered oxidative stress status may down-regulate the activation of inflammatory mediators.
Article: Antimutagenic Effects of Korean Bamboo Trees and Inhibitory Effect of Hepatic Toxicity of Bamboo Extracts Coated Rice[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To evaluate the antimutagenic effect and hepato protective of bamboo trees and bamboo byproduct, hot-water extracts from four kinds of bamboo [wang-dae (Phyllostachys bambusoides S. et Z.), som-dae (Phyllostachys nigra var. henonis), maengjong-juk (Phyllostachys pubescens) and o-juk (Phyllostachys nigra Munro)] and maengjong-juk extract coated rice were evaluated for antimutagenicity by Ames test using Salmonella typhimurium TA100. Bamboo extracts showed strong antimutagenic activity in the Ames test which MNNG was used as mutagen in the absence and presence of S9 mix. Maengjong-juk extract coated rice diet suppressed the loss of body weight significantly. Food intake was increased in maengjong-juk extract coated rice supplemented group but showed no significant differences between control and maengjong-juk extract coated rice diet groups. Food efficiency of maengjong-juk extract coated rice supplemented group was significantly higher than that of the control group. Liver weight was significantly increased by maengjong-juk extract coated rice diet administration. Plasma GOT & GPT activities of rabbit were significantly suppressed in maengjong-juk extract coated rice supplemented group. These results suggest that bamboo trees extracts and maengjong-juk extract coated rice are bioavailable resource on treatment of cardiovascular disease, such as atherosclerosis and hypercholesterolemia.
Article: Components and Antioxidative Activities of Buchu (Chinese chives) Harvested at Different Times[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Changes in amino acids content and antioxidative activity in the leaves of buchu (Allium tuberosum R.) at different harvesting times were investigated. Contents of protein, lipids and ash were the highest at the first harvest time, but decreased thereafter, whereas water content showed the reverse pattern. Amino acid contents were the highest at 2nd harvest time, major compositions being aspartic acid, alanine, and glutamic acid, which decreased thereafter. Antioxidative activities according to harvesting times also revealed the same pattern showing by the major nutrients. Correlation coefficients between antioxidative detecting methods in TEAC vs FRAP assay, FRAP vs DPPH assay, and TEAC vs DPPH showed 0.996, 0.992, and 0.987, respectively (p
Article: Antioxidative Effects of Korean Bamboo Trees, Wang-dae, Som-dae, Maengjong-juk, Jolit-dae and O-juk[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Bamboo trees have been used for a long time as folk remedies for treatment of hypertension and stroke symptoms in Oriental regions. These pharmaceutical effects of bamboos look like to be related to its antioxidant capacity and phytochemicals in bamboos. To evaluate the antioxidative effects of bamboo trees, five kinds of bamboo varieties dominant in Korean peninsular were chosen and determined its total antioxidaive activities, free radical scavenging activities and nitrite scavenging activities by TEAC (Trolox Equivalent Antioxidant Capacity) assay, DPPH and Griess reagent assay using in vitro system, respectively. To evaluate the correlation between antioxidative activities and Maillard reaction during hot water extraction, contents of reducing sugar and total nitrogen and brown color intensity at 420 nm were determined. When total antioxidative activities, free radical scavenging activities and nitrite scavenging activities of five kinds of bamboo trees were compared, wang-dae (Phyllostachys bambusoides S. et Z.) showed the strongest effect among samples, although all kinds of extracts showed relatively strong effects against oxidation. The bamboo culms extract showed stronger antioxidative effects than that of bamboo leaves. In each fraction obtained from 70% ethanol extract, antioxidative effect were increased in order of dichloromethane>ethyl acetate>butanol>water>hexane fraction. In reducing sugar analysis of extracts, reducing sugar contents of water extracts were higher than that of 70% ethanol extracts and wang-dae water extract showed the highest level which was 708.92 mg/g. Total nitrogen contents of the extracts were and contents in water extracts were lower than that in 70% ethanol extracts. Brown color intensity at 420 nm showed similar tendency with results in reducing sugar contents.
Article: Protective Effect of Dietary Buchu (Chinese chives) Against Oxidative Damage from Aging and Ultraviolet Irradiation in ICR Mice Skin[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Protective effect of skin by antioxidative dietary buchu (Chinese chives, Allium tuberosum Router), was evaluated in ICR mice fed diets containing 2% or 5% buchu for 12 months. Lipid peroxidation and protein oxidation in skin, with or without ultraviolet B (UVB) irradiation, activities of antioxidative enzymes, total glutathione concentrations, and non-soluble collagen contents were measured. Dietary buchu decreased significantly in TBARS and protein carbonyl levels in skin compared to the control group, and were lower in those fed 5% than 2% buchu diet group. ICR mice exhibited an age-dependent decrease in antioxidative enzyme activities and total glutathione concentrations on the control diet, but in the groups fed buchu diet the enzyme activities and glu-tathione concentrations remained at youthful levels for most of the study. SOD, glutathione peroxidase, and catalase activities as well as total glutathione concentrations increased with time in the skins of the mice fed buchu diets. Lipid peroxidation and protein oxidation provoked by UVB irradiation on ICR mice skin homogenates were also significantly inhibited by dietary buchu. The buchu diets also decreased the formation of non-soluble collagen in mice skin, compared to the control group. These results suggest that antioxidative components and sulfur-compounds in buchu may confer protective effect against oxidative stress resulting from aging and exposure to ultraviolet irradiation.

Every morning we recap the previous night's games, news and notes so that you're up-to-date on everything baseball. As always you can follow us on Twitter (@BaseballProf) and like us on Facebook to get updated, fantasy-relevant news, tidbits and analysis.
1. To say that Tom Milone pitched to contact last night would be a massive understatement. His line was 8 IP, 3 H, 0 ER, 3 BB, 0 K and it took just 93 pitches. Along with the zero strikeouts, Milone induced just three swinging strikes (3.2%) the entire game. That's as many as Yoenis Cespedes' first at-bat. The good news is that he has a spacious home park to keep the ball in play and has great control of the strike zone. He should be a nice spot start pitcher this season.
2. I am going to attribute Yu Darvish's rough first inning to nerves and stop overanalyzing the numbers. He settled down a bit after the 42-pitch inning and actually lasted long enough to record his first Major League win. His slider was by far his best pitch, going for strikes 65 percent of the time with a 30 percent whiff rate. I'm still buying that he can be a top-25 pitcher this season.
3. Barry Zito must be smoking some really good weed because apparently he thinks it's still 2003. His 113-pitch complete game marked his first nine-inning complete game since August 30, 2005 and his first nine-inning complete game shutout since April 18, 2003. Zito walked none, struck out four and allowed just four hits. Why the success? Well, his average fastball was just 84 mph, the same as last year, but he threw his cutter 12.4 percent of the time (versus 4.8% last year). His cutter was pretty terrible last year, rating as -5.23 runs above average per 100 cutters thrown, but for his career it's his best pitch on a per-100-pitches scale (1.00 RAA). I'm taking a chance on Zito in deep leagues. Maybe he'll change the way he pitches, and that could yield success.
4. Cole Hamels finished with an interesting line Tuesday: 5.1 IP, 8 H, 9 K. It's not very often pitchers mix extreme hittability (8 H) with swing-and-miss stuff (9 K). The start doesn't change the way you should value Hamels in the least. If anything it's actually kind of encouraging. Zero walks and nine strikeouts in just over five innings? Sign me up!
5. Let's go to our fifth pitcher, Brian Matusz. While I'm not terribly worried that he struggled against the Yankees, I am worried about his pitch selection. His changeup is normally his best pitch and he only threw it eight times last night (8.3%). As a result, he left everything up in the zone. Maybe he didn't have the feel for it as it only went for a strike 25 percent of the time, but if he's going to be successful that changeup will have to be more involved in his repertoire.
6. Let's talk hitting shall we? It's not like I think you should rush to add Omar Infante after his two-homer game, but he's always been a sneaky valuable middle infielder with a good batting average. There's value there in deeper leagues, but for standard 10-team leagues he just doesn't do enough.
7. Sell high candidate: Try shopping Cespedes out there and see what kind of interest you get from your leaguemates. Despite all the hype about the home runs, he's still only 4-for-16 with nine strikeouts. Yes, that's a 56.2 strikeout percentage. He's Wily Mo Pena with job security.
8. Mat Gamel was showing off the wheels yesterday with a triple and a stolen base. Of course, Gamel went 0-for-2 against a proven MLB pitcher in Chris Volstad, but 2-for-2 against Shawn Camp and Lendy Castillo (combined 29.2 IP in MLB). Seeing as Gamel has never had a problem mashing minor league pitching I'm not rushing to call this a breakout performance.
9. Ian Kinsler does this every year; he's great to start and great to finish as long as he's healthy. Injuries can happen to anyone so I hate trading an injury prone player for a potentially "safer" one, but this is the time to find out if an owner is willing to pay top dollar.
10. Just to continue the wacky start to the season, Drew Storen suffered a setback and will now visit Dr. James Andrews (noooooooo) to get a second opinion. While it doesn't seem like Tommy John surgery is in his immediate future, he could still miss around half the season to remove bone chips in his elbow. Either Brad Lidge or Henry Rodriguez would be in line for the saves, but there hasn't been any indication on exactly who is the front-runner.
11. With Sergio Santos blowing his second save in as many chances, don't be surprised if the Blue Jays turn to Francisco Cordero soon. If you have the bench spot or are desperate for saves, pick him up.
12. Go get B.J. Upton now. I said it in the preseason and I'll say it again, but there's nothing like a contract year to motivate a 27-year old who has all the talent in the world. You don't think the Dodgers will shell out the big bucks if Upton can put together a big season? Upton is targeting a return around April 20-22 so start offering trades now.
