Brewer Hopes Court Takes Immigration Case; Arizona Governor Notes 33 Other States Have Acted to Secure Borders
Byline: David Eldridge, THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer said Wednesday she hopes the U.S. Supreme Court steps in soon to rule on whether her state's tough anti-illegal immigration law is constitutional.
We believe that we will probably hear from the Supreme Court sometime in December whether they will hear the legislation or not, the Republican governor said on The Washington Times-affiliated America's Morning News radio program.
"It's so important not only for Arizona, but for .. all of America The bottom line is that we've got 33 other states that have implemented or have tried to implement similar pieces of legislation. It needs to be decided who is responsible. Hopefully, the federal government will understand, if [the Supreme Court] rules in our favor, that the states do have a right.
If [federal officials] are not going to do the job, if they're not going to enforce the immigration laws, well, then the states are going to have to step up and do it, she said. But I still maintain, as I believe all of America maintains, it is the federal government's responsibility and they simply aren't doing it.
During Wednesday's interview, the governor also spoke briefly about Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, who earlier this week gave her first public interview since being shot in the head in Tucson in January.
It's so uplifting to know that she can come from where she was to where she is today, Mrs. Brewer said. It leaves you almost breathless, gives you a lot of hope.
Mrs. Brewer, who replaced Janet A. Napolitano when she joined the Obama administration to head the Department of Homeland Security, signed one of the nation's strictest anti-illegal immigration laws in 2010.
The law requires police to check the immigration status of detainees if the officer has reason to suspect they are in the country illegally. …

Our ranges cover 6mm, 10mm, 15mm , 20mm and 28mm scale.
City Builder A range of detailed buildings and ruins from recent history, for use in city fighting from WWI (1914-18), WWII (1939-1945) right through to the present day. The list currently consists of European buildings but will expand to include Eastern and Southern European. We will be adding Steampunk and Sci-Fi ranges at the 28/32mm scale.
There are now the Earhtworks in 6mm/10mm/15mm.
The Waterloo range will only be in 6mm and 10mm scales.
And the '6mm' scale figurines are here.
We decided to design all of our structures using approximate figure scales (stretched in height) rather than ground scales which oversizes them on a table but, we believe, this gives a more aesthetically acceptable model.
The buildings are easy to assemble and the parts are interchangeable with many combinations. When disassembled the buildings can be flat packed into a small area/box and combined with their relatively light weight this makes them easily portable.
Contact us on email@example.com

Look out for the Kickstarter 2 project launching 'soon' aiming to get us a second laser for a range of Steampunk and Science fiction structures in 28mm as well as additional European buildings in all 3 scales
While you're awaiting our Steampunk range you could take a look at the new earthworks in 6/10/15mm or the 6mm Napoleonic figures range (actually about 8/9mm, truth be told!).

Martin is encouraged by his team's work ethic. "They're diligent workers " I'll give them that " and they want to win. They come ready to play every day," he said.
McCrindle will be one of BH-BL's key offensive players following the graduation of Kevin Himmelwright and Anthony Bevilacqua.
"He's a good shooter, and he's working on the areas of his game that weren't so strong last year," said Martin.
The Spartans aren't the only White Division team facing a major rebuilding project. Averill Park and divisional newcomer Niskayuna also graduated several players. Only Mohonasen returns a significant portion of its roster, which makes the Mighty Warriors " a perpetual cellar dweller in the Suburban Council " the preseason favorite in Martin's eyes.
"Mohonasen is going to be very good this year," said Martin. "I think with these guys having one year with coach (Ken Dagostino) and knowing what to expect, they should be very good. I hope I'm wrong about them when we play them, but I hope they'll do well against everybody else."
BH-BL plays Berkshire in Friday's opening round of the Shawn Walsh Memorial Tournament.
Saratoga Blue Streaks
Head coach: Mitch Snyder
League: Suburban Council (Blue Division)
Key veterans: Garrett Bishop, Jordan Stevens, Pat O'Connor, Dan Harkins, Vonzel Legall, Dan McLaughlin
Key newcomers: Ryan James, Don Allen
Outlook: Snyder possesses one of the most veteran-laden teams in the Blue Division, which he said he hopes will help the Blue Streaks move up the standings.
"There were a lot of good seniors that graduated last year, but I've been around the league long enough to know that there will be some talented players coming up," said Snyder.
Stevens is already one of the top forwards in the league, and with Bishop coming back from a 2005-06 season cut short by a foot injury, Snyder feels the pieces are in place for a strong season.

Does evolution theory cause racial prejudice?
Posted in the New Zealand Forum

#1 Mar 8, 2012
I have read in another forum about people with brown coloured skin being thought of as being animals. I think that it is because of the theory of evolution being taught in the schools these days, that young people have begun to believe that people are animals instead of human beings.
Whereas, I do not believe in evolution theory and regard all people as being human beings who have been created in God's image as it states in the book of Genesis in the Bible. I think that if anyone will think of a race of people as being animals, it stirs up prejudice against that race of people.

No! But sharing an island with a particular race for several years can leave you with some prejedice. Especially when that race/mixed race are soley responsible for the theft of your cars, house burglaries and kids beaten up at school. Then there's the irony these are the same people you've been supporting and encouraging to breed with your taxes.

People are going to make those assumptions just by looking at phenotypes of different races anyway. It has or rather should have nothing to do with colour of your skin, as we all know colour of your skin is only reflective of the natural environment your kin have evolved in. Pigmentation obviously equals melanin and melanin is what you need to help absorb or block ultraviolet rays from the sun. Everyone knows that right?
On the other hand, I wonder what somebody of African or Asian decent would make of the popular image of Jesus Christ given that he is typically portrayed as North European: Blue eyes, wavy hair, fair skin etc. He does not look very Semitic in the images I have seen of him and he certainly does not look like an African. In other words, wouldn't an African person be in within their rights to consider that image racist as it could be thought to mean Europeans are closer to god, considering Jesus was phenotypically European and the son of god? Just a thought.

Fair point. We all know Jesus was Jewish. In a facial reconstruction they did before of him, he looked almost Arabic as back then Jews had not started mixing with Europeans. When I see images of a white Jesus with blue eyes etc I see it as odd but not racist. I'm sure the painter(s) were just trying to paint Jesus as THEY saw him.

The terms racial prejudice, or racism are very new descriptions of behaviour designed to allow us to survive. It is adaptive and without it our ancestors would not have made it, and we would not be here.
That's not to say in today's society you should act with prejudice, but that this behaviour is hard wired and natural - babies naturally favour people of their own race - before any learning has occurred.
And no, race is a tad more than skin colour - google African albinos and tell me that the only difference is melanin
The practice of favouring one's own race or group is as old as time and predates Darwins theory

Agreed. Obviously painters in medieval Europe painted Jesus in their image. Or at least in an image that would appeal to Europeans - since this was after all in medieval Europe and the whole religion at that point was being geared towards Europeans.
But even modern day images trying to appeal to a broad multicultural audience still portray Jesus as Indo-European. I am still waiting to see the image where Jesus is portrayed looking like Klinger from M.A.S.H or Muammar Gaddafi!

Actually you are dead right. Have you ever stopped to make that social observation at school or in the work place? We got a new guy who started at work the other week who is originally from Africa. On his first day and on his first lunch break he chose to sit at what I call the African table at work. I call it the African table because that is where the Africans sit. It is the table next to the Arab table. Which is next to the Baltic table. Which is in front of the East Asian table!
I could go on here about the real origins of prejudice but this computer is filled to the brim with down-loaded films and music and so its operating at a snails pace. So I wont. But suffice as to say the origins of prejudice is not something invented by the Europeans as we are told by certain people on this forum, it actually pre-dates human evolution altogether, and by at least 30 million years!

Hitler once said in "Mein Kampf" that if you tell a lie for the purpose of propaganda, tell a big one! Because the bigger the lie is, the more people are apt to believe it, because they can't possibly believe you would dare to tell such a big lie unless it was the truth!
Why is there no recorded history before approximately 4,000 B.C.?
The answer is obvious ... there was no history!
There is no record of a cataclysmic event that destroyed mankind prior to 4,000 B.C. And if there were, surely some of the survivors would have passed this information down to generations to follow. The Bible dates creation, as we know it today, at approximately 4,000 B.C.
There were no humans before approximately 4,000 B.C. Hard to imagine? Why should it be? There is no history to indicate that humans existed prior to 4,000 B.C.
7,000 Languages? WHY
If, as evolutionists claim, all of mankind evolved from the SAME primitive life-source, then how did we end up with 7,000 different languages? The Bible teaches that God created all the different languages at Babel..
because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth" (Genesis 11:7,9).

The Nazis in Germany LOVED the religion of evolution and they were probably the most violent racists in the history of the planet. In the United States, the religion of evolution is supported by taxpayers' money (evolution is taught in public schools as a science). So much for separation of church and state.

Absolutely, anyone who thinks skin colour is the only defining factor between races is very much mistaken. Polynesians for instance have a larger skeleton and a smaller brain cavity than most other races. This is the reason they are better suited to contact sport and menial tasks like cleaning and factory jobs that dont require a lot of thought. Academically it is easier to train a monkey than the average Polynesian.

A former inmate at the Taylor County Detention Center is suing four jail employees, accusing them of losing his family photos.
Steven Carmicle filed suit against Taylor County Jailer Rick Benningfield, Captain Kevin Wilson, Sgt. Jon Hawkins and Class D Coordinator Mary Cox in Taylor Circuit Court on Thursday, Sept. 3.
In his handwritten complaint, Carmicle alleges that Hawkins placed him in solitary confinement. While in confinement, Carmicle states, Hawkins allegedly took his personal property to a jail property room.
Without March of Dimes' research, Anne Gibbs says her twin baby girls - who were born 16 weeks early on Feb. 22 - would not have survived.
And now, Gibbs and her husband, Chris, are doing their part to give back to the organization, which strives to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality through research, community services, education and advocacy.
The Gibbs babies, Julie and Maddie, have been named the ambassador babies for this year's local March of Dimes' March for Babies event.
The Taylor County Detention Center will receive federal dollars to buy security cameras.
The jail will receive a $6,898 Justice Assistance Grant award, according to the Justice and Public Safety Cabinet.
The grant is part of nearly $5 million in federal and state funds awarded to police departments, sheriff's departments and other criminal justice agencies across the commonwealth last week
Though the money was initially earmarked for extra beds, Taylor County Jailer Rick Benningfield said, the money will now be used to purchase 11 security cameras.
The Kentucky Court of Justice posted a notice recently that the judge's seat currently filled by Senior Status Judge Doughlas M. George in the 11th Judicial Circuit, Division One, is now vacant.
George officially resigned his seat Jan. 31 when he entered the Senior Status program. He has been appointed a special judge each month since and will continue to serve the 11th Judicial Circuit, which includes Taylor, Green, Marion and Washington counties, until a replacement is named.
All it takes is a split second for a simple job on the farm to turn deadly. Russell Skaggs knows this all too well.
Skaggs' father, Calvin, was killed on Aug. 7, 1992, in a farm incident.
The skies that day were overcast, Skaggs said. Rain was on the way and Skaggs' father was trying to finish up.
But his tractor couldn't handle the heavy load he was pulling. It jackknifed and the load pushed it over a hill. The tractor overturned, pinning Calvin underneath. He was pronounced dead shortly after.
Usually, when people talk about travel, they are typically referring to either a need (work) or a desire (play). But for Taylor County native and traveling mom Vickie Cox, it's neither. And both. It's a calling.
For the past six years, Cox has traveled to volunteer in countries ravaged by poverty where she works as a medical missionary.
"The bulk of my service has occurred in Haiti," says Cox. "I've traveled to various other nations all over the world, but Haiti is where I feel I need to be."
A Lebanon man has been arrested and charged with wanton endangerment and criminal mischief after he allegedly caused thousands of dollars in damage and threatened a woman.

The Better Business Bureau is warning Avon representatives to be on the lookout for fake check scams.
A woman who sells Avon contacted the BBB after she received an e-mail for a large order and a check totaling more than the actual cost of the Avon products. The products totaled $600 and the check totaled $2,500. The representative was instructed to deposit the check and wire the difference, via Western Union, to an orphanage that was supposedly expecting a donation from the individual.
The life of a funeral director is often thought to be a solemn one. However, as a new book suggests, it can be a humorous one as well.
"Tales From Kentucky Funeral Homes" by Western Kentucky University Professor Emeritus of folk studies William Lynwood Montell collects stories from two dozen Kentucky funeral home directors and embalmers, including Taylor County Coroner Terry Dabney.
Along with his wife, Judy, Dabney has owned Parrott & Ramsey Funeral Home since 1981.
"It's just a very humanizing book," Dabney said.

The critical success of 2010's Buried didn't exactly cause a wave of claustrophobic copycats, but a few similarly structured films found their way into production in the past few years. Wrecked saw Adrien Brody trapped in his car after an accident, and Stephen Dorff was stuffed in a trunk (hurray!)...

We track four people on their journey.
Caught in the crossfire of the US war on gangs
24 Jul 2012 00:05 GMT | Middle East, Iraq
A series of gun and bomb attacks has wracked Iraq for the second straight day, with unidentified gunmen targeting a military base and car bombs exploding in Baghdad, Kirkuk and elsewhere.
More than 100 people are reported to have been killed and 180 injured in at least 19 separate explosions and attacks on Monday morning, officials said.
At least 15 Iraqi soldiers were killed and four others injured after gunmen attacked a military base in Salah Din province, an army official told Al Jazeera.
The attack took place early on Monday morning, while the soldiers were still asleep, in a base east of Dhuluiyah township, about 90km north of Baghdad. No group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack.
A car bomb in the city of Taji, north of Baghdad, targeted a residential compound. Initial reports suggested that more than 18 people had been killed and dozens wounded. That attack involved a secondary explosion, which targeted rescue personnel who had rushed to the scene.
In the northern oil town of Kirkuk, police were targeted by four synchronised car bombs, killing five people, including three civilians. Nineteen people were injured in those blasts.
Baghdad bombings
In Baghdad, car bombs targeted an interior ministry office that issues ID cards to residents of the city's mainly Shia Sadr City neighbourhood. At least 16 people were killed in that attack.
"It was a thunderous explosion," said Mohammed Munim, 35, who was working at the office.
"The only thing I remember was the smoke and fire, which was everywhere," he added from his bed in the emergency room at Sadr City hospital.
In Baghdad's eastern Hussainiyah neighbourhood, police sources told Al Jazeera that a parked car bomb killed at least three people and injured another 31 on Monday.
Live Box 20111212125010827866
In the city of Tuz Khurmatu, 140km north of Baghdad, a car bomb targeted a local market, killing at least one person and wounding three others. A separate explosion in that city killed one person and wounded 35 others.
In the eastern town of Muqdadiyah, near Baquba, two civilians were killed and 13 injured after a motorcycle bomb went off on a main street.
South of the capital, in Mahmoudiya, a series of three bombs targeted civilians. Initial reports from police said that the death toll in that attack was at least 10, with as many as 38 wounded.
Meanwhile, two members of a tribal coalition aimed at maintaining security were killed by unidentified gunmen in central Samarra city, 120km north of Baghdad.
In Dujail, 75km north of the capital, a bomb went off near a Shia mosque, killing a woman and injuring four others.
In the town of Ba'aaj, near Mosul, two policemen were killed when a suicide bomber targeted a police station, while in a separate explosion west of Mosul, a car bomb killed three army soldiers and wounded six civilians.
In Diwaniyah province, 180km south of Baghdad, an improvised explosive device attack hit a vegetable market, killing three people and injuring at least 20 others.
In central Balad township, about 80km north of Baghdad, a parked car exploded outside the home of a local political leader, Al Radhee Mohammed. That blast did not result in any casualties. A second car explosion, apparently targeting labourers, also went off in Balad on Monday morning, but there was no immediate confirmation of casualties.
Police say they had identified a third bomb in the same area and had the situation under control.
'Military and Shia targeted'
Al Jazeera's Jane Arraf, reporting from Erbil, said that initial figures were difficult to verify.
"The death tolls are varying wildly [but] they appear to be attacks, as has been the pattern, on military targets as well as Shia communities."
Monday's attacks are the worst since June 13, when a series of explosions killed 84 people. The fresh wave of killings comes just a day after a spate of bombings across the country killed at least 20 people and wounded 88 others.
"It is certainly a sign that despite all gains made against al-Qaeda in Iraq ... they are still out there," reported Al Jazeera's Arraf, adding that the group had recently warned that it was commencing "a new stage" in its campaign.
The Islamic State of Iraq, a group closely aligned with al-Qaeda in Iraq, warned in an audio message posted on jihadist forums that it would begin targeting judges and prosecutors as it renewed its campaign to free members who are currently being held in prison.
"We are starting a new stage," said the voice on the message, purportedly that of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, who has been leader of the Islamic State of Iraq since May 2010.
"The first priority in this is releasing Muslim prisoners everywhere, and chasing and eliminating judges and investigators and their guards."
It was not possible to verify whether the voice was that of Baghdadi. Al-Qaeda in Iraq is regarded by Iraqi officials as significantly weaker than at the peak of its strength in 2006 and 2007, but it is still capable of launching spectacular mass-casualty attacks.
Al Jazeera's Arraf said that the attacks have "sparked fears that security forces will not be able to handle what appears to many people to be a resurgence of al-Qaeda" in the absence of US troops, who pulled out of the country at the end of last year.

Many artists incorporate upcycled items into their work, but some artists choose some truly unique materials. Ptolemy Elrington, an artist from Brighton, England, uses old hubcaps to make sculptures of creatures like fish, birds and other animals. Elrington has been making the sculptures for the past 13 years and he finds most of the hubcaps on the side of the road.
With his work, Elrington hopes to make viewers rethink what we waste and what we value. Hubcaps, he explains on his website, serve a largely aesthetic purpose and once discarded have little use. By using them as a medium for art, Elrington finds a way to give purpose to something that is otherwise considered trash.

i shall not post in your group no more.i was just helping out.i work with the best mod groups from warhammer they like my orc clan.you have no respect and honour complaining about grammar.and the group.grammar that is how warhammer orcs talk.you even do not now that.
first off it`s spelt ork in warhammer 40k, secondly Orkz talk like people with thick cockney accents not with a full stop after every six words, i do understand english may not be your first language so that grammar thing was a joke.
also advertising your OWN group in someone else`s group is just straight up rude and ignorant.
sorry i was wrong posting in your group i did not want to start a war was just helping the fans the more the better i thought but now i understand you.and the grammar is for people i know who do not read english very well short is easier to read for them.peace and respect!! and give me now a big kiss=lol
oh and orcs and orks is because i post everything about orcs not only warhammer orks.so ork is orc and ork is orc and to be a orc is to be a ork or not to be a orc or ork! you understand now or not?
yeah i understood the whole "orc" thing after i saw you group but dude if you want to advertise you should probably ask the people whose group you are advertising in first to check that they are okay with it.
and as confusing as the following sentence is
"so ork is orc and ork is orc and to be a orc is to be a ork or not to be a orc or ork! you understand now or not?"
i think i understand
yes better ask first if someone did the same thing now in my groups i would also not be happy!peace
thank you for understanding, you may rejoin the 40k group if you want
busy maybe later i have 2 fan groups now orc and a warhammer sci fi group. greetings and respect
dude why can't i upload any images to the group? o.0
hmmm ill fix it

Cynthia Sanlian,
Senior Manager, CIBC Commercial Banking, Quebec
Cynthia Sanlian is a Senior Manager in the CIBC Commercial Banking office in Montreal. While studying at HEC Montreal, she joined CIBC as a summer student. From the outset, she was very curious about how she could play a role in helping companies grow. After graduating in 2007, she joined CIBC full-time and this curiosity led her to become a Best Managed coach in 2008. Between 2008 and 2010, she also coordinated the program as regional champion in Quebec.
For Cynthia, the Best Managed Companies program is not about winning. Its a process that companies can leverage to identify opportunities for growth, and even more importantly, to identify weaknesses, and therefore, how to strengthen their competitive position, she says. When she meets with a new company, she starts by doing a lot of listening. The program timeframe forces you to act very quickly, but, as a coach, its critical that you empower the management team to really take ownership of the application. The other key to coaching? Transparency. In order to be the best partner possible with them, I am clear with the companies I coach from the start and try to avoid surprises.
As a coach, Cynthia sees herself as a valuable advisor and partner to the companies she works with. Knowing the amount of time and dedication that these companies demonstrate in completing the application, she ensures that her meetings with applicants are valuable for them as well, sharing her wealth of experience with the intricacies of the application process.
Its not entirely selfless. Being a Best Managed coach has helped Cynthia achieve her ultimate professional goal. As a CIBC coach, I am truly helping companies grow their business!

Gov Kasich on with Willie
Posted Tuesday, July 1st 2014 @ 5pm by 700WLW News
( Sycamore Twp ) - Ohio Governor John Kasich was in-studio with Bill Cunningham on Tuesday afternoon.
One of the big topics he addressed was a new I-75 bridge. The governor praised state lawmakers for recently passing a bill that says if tolls are collected on the bridge, they'll be collected electronically. Construction of that new bridge is still years away.

Below, you can find our list of games like Valkyria Chronicles (. But before we look at alternative games toValkyria Chronicles let's take a quick look at what Valkyria Chronicles is in our brief review.
Valkyria Chronicles Review: Valkyria Chronicles is a tactical RPG ( role-playing game ) from video game developer Sega and is available for PS3 and PC. Valkyria Chronicles is set in Europa, loosely based on Europe during the early years of World War II.

Grace Episcopal
Pike Road, Alabama
Nestled for over a century in the picturesque farming community on the outskirts of Montgomery, Grace Church now stands in the center of the eastern sprawl of the city, surrounded by neighborhoods and shopping centers and easily accessible by Interstate Highway 85. The church buildings and gardens, however, reflect the paradox of a country church in the middle of town. The land surrounding the church property remains partly undeveloped, and our newly-constructed Parish House was designed to complement the original worship space built in the early nineteenth century.
The Personality of Our Parish is best reflected in our living as the Body of Christ, faithful to our Baptismal Covenant to "seek and serve Christ in all persons and respect the dignity of every human being." And, echoing the Prayer Book's affirmation, we seek to do so "with God's help."
We Invite You to join us as together we become the Body of Christ, with many different gifts and talents, each of us unique and made in God's image and for God's delight. Join us as we worship God, study Holy Scripture, and engage each other in loving fellowship in Jesus' name, to become equipped to respond to Jesus' Great Commission to take the Good News of God's love for the world into the world.

ABSTRACT: The effects of weak external electric fields (1.5–3 V, 30–60 μA) on bile salt secretion by jji situ rat liver were studied after interruption (experiment A) and restoration (experiment B) of the enterohepatic bile salt cycle. In experiment A, bile salt tracer was injected in bolus 3 hr after application of the electric field (14C-TC, 14C-CA, or 14C-DCA). In experiment B, 36 μmoles/h of TC or CA were infused 150 min after application of the electric field until the end of the experiment. A bolus (14C-TC and 14C-CA) was injected 170 min after application of the electric field. The hepatic taurine pool was prelabeled in both experiments. Application of electric fields delayed secretion of 14C-TC into the bile. This delay was longer at 60 μA than at 30 μA Neither field had any effect on 3H-tauroconjugation. Electric fields also led to the formation of osmiophilic globules in hepatocytes and, especially in experiment B, collagen fibers in intracellular spaces. Thus electric fields may provoke changes in plasmic membranes probably in connection with those in the extracellular matrix.
Article: The anionic peptide fraction is present on the gallbladder apical epithelium and favours biliary cholesterol absorption[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We investigated (a) in vitro and in vivo the changes of biliary mass of the anionic peptide fraction, apolipoproteinA-I, immunoglobulin-A, albumin and cholesterol over time in the excluded gallbladder and (b) in vivo the localization in the gallbladder epithelium of the anionic peptide fraction and cholesterol absorbed from bile. Native bile was substituted with pig bile containing radiolabeled cholesterol in the in vitro isolated intra-arterially perfused pig gallbladder (n=9) and in vivo in anestethized pigs with excluded gallbladders (n=6). The amount of cholesterol (scintillation counting) and proteins (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) in gallbladder bile were measured over time. The localization of the anionic peptide fraction and cholesterol absorbed from bile in the gallbladder epithelium was studied in vivo by immunohistochemistry and fluoro-phospho-imager analysis. The rate of biliary cholesterol disappeared from bile was a function of the initial concentration and of the biliary mass changes over time of the anionic peptide fraction, but not of that of the other biliary proteins. The anionic peptide fraction colocalized with biliary cholesterol absorbed by the gallbladder on the apical side of gallbladder epithelial cells. These data indirectly suggest that biliary anionic peptide fraction could favour biliary cholesterol absorption by the gallbladder epithelium.
Article: Milling and Processing of Wheat and other Cereals Affect Their Capacity to Inhibit Pancreatic Lipase in Vitro[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The inhibition of pancreatic lipase activity by extracts of raw, milled or processed cereals was measured in vitro. The inhibitory activity was high in durum wheat, soft wheat and millet, moderate in barley and white sorghum and very low in red sorghum. Milling whole-grain into flours markedly decreased the lipase inhibitory activity in all species. In durum wheat, the germ and the aleurone-layer fraction exhibited the highest inhibitory activity. Processing of soft wheat by bread making, popping, flaking, drum-drying and extrusion-cooking, or durum wheat by making pasta markedly decreased the lipase inhibitory capacity. Extractible proteins were implicated in the inhibition process. These effects also had some nutritional implications.

ABSTRACT: Cholesterol constitutes the major component of most gallstones. It was identified and determined in gallstones by thermal analysis technique (DSC and TG-DTA), mainly by the use of the melting temperature (Tonset=145°C and Tmax=149°C) and by DTG peak decomposition (Tmax=364°C). Cholesterol anhydrous (ChA), which showed endothermic polymorphic peak, Tmax=40°C, without mass loss, was differentiated from cholesterol monohydrate (ChH), which showed a broad endothermic peak, Tmax=59°C, attributed to loss of water of crystallization (theoretical 4.45%). Morphological studies of gallstones were performed by optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The stones consisted of a pigmented core with a variably-sized irregular central cavity, surrounded by a radially arranged deposits of plate-like ChH. The outer part of the stones showed ChA crystal arborescences. X-ray microanalysis gave a typical spectrum rich in C and O, and in some instances the presence of P, which was attributed to the presence of phospholipids. CaCO3 was easily characterized by TG with the use of DTG decomposition peak at 674°C.
Article: Phosphatidylcholine-enriched diet prevents gallstone formation in mice susceptible to cholelithiasis[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Cholesterol gallstones affect approximately 10-15% of the adult population in North America. Phosphatidylcholine (PC) is considered to be the main cholesterol solubilizer in bile. This study examined the effect of a PC-enriched diet on gallstone incidence in mice susceptible to cholelithiasis. The result obtained showed that the feeding of a lithogenic (LG) diet for 4 weeks or 8 weeks resulted in cholesterol gallstone incidences of 47% and 89%, respectively. These gallstone incidences were either reduced or prevented when the LG diet was enriched with 2% or 6% PC, respectively. The cholesterol saturation index (CSI) was reduced only in mice fed with LG + 6% PC diet as compared with mice fed the LG diet alone. However, in all groups, the CSI was significantly higher than in mice fed Purina chow diet. The biliary anionic polypeptide fraction (APF) was significantly increased in mice fed the LG + 2% PC diet and was reduced in those fed with LG + 6% PC diet. In conclusion, prevention or delay of gallstone formation was not due to a consistent effect on biliary lipid composition, suggesting a direct effect of PC on cholesterol solubilization and/or the effect of an additional nonlipid biliary component such as APF.
Article: Prevention of diet-induced fatty liver in experimental animals by the oral administration of a fatty acid bile acid conjugate (FABAC)[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Fatty acid bile acid conjugates (FABACs) are a new family of synthetic molecules designed to solubilize biliary cholesterol. They were shown to prevent and dissolve cholesterol gallstones in inbred C57L/J mice fed a lithogenic, high-fat diet (HFD). In these mice, fatty liver was observed in the controls but not in the FABAC-treated ones. The present study was designed to study the effect of FABAC (arachidyl-amido-cholanoic acid) on diet-induced fatty liver in rats, hamsters, and mice. The fatty liver score (on a scale of 0-4 by light microscopy) was 4.0 in control hamsters and 0.3 in the FABAC-fed hamsters (P <.001). In mice it was 1.5 and 0.4, respectively (P <.01). The lipid/protein ratio in the liver was 1.3 +/- 0.44 (mg lipid/mg protein) in control rats and 0.66 +/- 0.04 in the FABAC group (P =.001) after 14 days. In hamsters it was 1.41 +/- 0.27 and 1.11 +/- 0.20, respectively (P =.03), after 21 days. In Imperial Charles River (ICR) mice the ratio was 0.34 +/- 0.10 and 0.17 +/- 0.07 (P =.03), respectively, after 24 days. Liver fat concentration, measured as mg lipid/g liver tissue, decreased similarly by FABAC feeding. The decrease in liver fat affected mainly the triglyceride levels. FABAC-fed animals gained weight similarly to the controls. Triglyceride absorption was unaffected by FABAC supplementation. In conclusion, oral FABAC therapy prevents/reduces the development of fatty liver in animals consuming a HFD.

ABSTRACT: Cholesterol constitutes the major component of most gallstones. It was identified and determined, in gallstones, issued from eleven patients, by thermal analysis: differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), with the use of the melting temperature and enthalpy, thermogravimetry (TG), with the mass loss of water. Anhydrous cholesterol (ChA) was characterized by two endothermic peaks (polymorphic, melting) and cholesterol monohydrate (ChH) by two endothermic peaks (dehydration, melting), too. Cha needle and Chh plate crystals were observed under polarizing light microscopy. The numerous stones obtained from nine patients were cholesterol stones: the ChA was higher 45 and lower 96%. ChH was present in stones of three patients.

ABSTRACT: Evidence is now in favor of protein-facilitated mechanisms for the intestinal cholesterol absorption. Here we report that the unesterified cholesterol uptake by rat jejunal brush border membrane vesicles (BBMVs) is efficient, saturable, and protein-mediated. The human apolipoproteins biliary anionic peptide factor (APF) and A-I (apoA-I) up-regulate micellar cholesterol uptake in a dose-dependent manner, but for all tested concentrations (0.1-20 microM), the lipid-free APF was more efficient than apoA-I. This uptake stimulation was suppressed after addition of Pabs directed to the external lipid-binding domain of the CLA-1/SR-BI and reduced by Pabs directed to the external loop of CD36. Thus, CLA-1/SR-BI and to a lesser extent CD36 are involved in the regulation of intestinal cholesterol uptake. APF, the main protein bound to biliary lipids, is likely one of their physiological effectors. As APF is an unesterified cholesterol carrier, it could facilitate the intestinal absorption of biliary cholesterol.

Article: Composition and immunofluorescence studies of biliary "sludge" in patients with cholesterol or mixed gallstones[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Gallbladder bile from patients with cholesterol or mixed gallstones frequently contains biliary "sludge", a suspension of cholesterol monohydrate crystals and pigment granules embedded in mucin and proteins. The composition of biliary "sludge" and the preferential localization of mucin and proteins could be an indicator for its potential role in gallstone formation. Ultracentrifugation (100000 g/l h) was used to precipitate "sludge" from bile, and the concentration difference of its main components between native bile and ultracentrifuged bile samples was calculated. After purification of the sediment, immunolocalization was performed for the detection of mucin, IgA, albumin, aminopeptidase, and anionic polypeptide fraction using polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies. The amount of sludge in gallbladder bile was 4.26 mg/ml-0.78 (mean+/-SEM) in patients with cholesterol and 2.51 mg/ml+/-0.39 in patients with mixed stones and cholesterol was the main component (48.9+/-4.6% and 44.4+/-7.1%). The sediment appeared as a mixture of vesicular aggregates and pigment particles which were linked by a gel matrix of mucin containing cholesterol crystals. While anionic polypeptide fraction and aminopeptidase were associated to pigments, IgA was uniformly spread in the crystalline parts of "core-like" structures, and albumin, when it was present, appeared as randomly located small spots. Our study demonstrates that the cholesterol content and the distribution pattern of mucin and different proteins is similar in the sediments of biliary "sludge" to that previously shown in cholesterol and mixed gallstones. This suggests that biliary "sludge" represents an early stage of gallstone formation in these patients.
Article: Chronically gorging v. nibbling fat and cholesterol increases postprandial lipaemia and atheroma deposition in the New Zealand White rabbit[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In the present study, we compared the effects of nibbling and gorging on postprandial lipaemia and lipoproteins, hepatic lipid uptake and atheroma deposition. New Zealand White rabbits were fed on a low-fat (LF) control diet or a peanut oil- (10 g/d) and cholesterol- (0.5 g/d) enriched (HF) diet with the fat and cholesterol components given either by nibbling (HF-N) or gorging (HF-G). After 4 and 8 weeks, rabbits were given a test meal, which was either nibbled or taken as a bolus. The LF diet did not noticeably alter postprantial lipid variables. Triacylglycerol levels, 0-35 h lipid responses and plasma accumulation of dietary lipids were significantly higher in the HF-G group than in the HF-N group, despite higher post-heparin plasma lipase activities. Furthermore, as studied on cultured isolated hepatocytes, the higher the rate of supply of triacylglycerol- and cholesterol-rich lipoproteins (TCRL), the lower the rate of lipid uptake and bile salt secretion. Atheroma deposition was significantly increased by gorging the HF diet and was correlated with levels of most postprandial lipid variables. We conclude that gorging v. nibbling a fat and cholesterol-enriched diet exacerbates postprandial lipaemia by reducing the rate of TCRL clearance and favours atheroma deposition.
Article: Cholesterol crystallization in gall-bladder bile pigs given cholesterol-β-cyclodextrin-enriched diets with either casein or soyabean concentrate as protein sources[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Cholesterol precipitation from supersaturated bile is the earliest and determinant step in the formation of cholesterol gallstones, which is thought to be diet-dependent. Bile composition, appearance and growth of cholesterol crystals were studied in fresh gall-bladder biles from pigs adapted to four different protein-containing diets over 3 weeks: 160 g dietary protein/kg as casein (C16; n 6), or as soyabean-protein concentrate (S16; n 6), or a mixture of both protein sources (casein-soyabean protein, 70:30, w/w) (CS16; n 6), or 320 g of the mixed protein/kg (CS32; n 6). Moreover, all four diets contained 3 g cholesterol/kg and 50 g beta-cyclodextrin/kg as modifiers of bile composition towards cholesterol pro-crystallization. Cholesterol precipitation was most active after the high-protein diet, CS32, and the casein diet, C16, and lowest after the soyabean-protein diet, S16. It was intermediate after the mixed diet, CS16, but still much lower than in the former two groups. These diet-induced variations were suggested to be mediated through modifications in the biliary profile of bile acids, whereas all other biliary constituents studied were essentially unchanged. The fasting level of plasma cholesterol was lowest in both 160 g protein/kg diets containing soyabean protein (S16 and CS16), highest for the high-protein diet CS32, and intermediate for the C16 diet. These results should encourage clinical studies on the effect of soyabean protein, or other vegetable proteins, for primary or recurrence prevention of cholelithiasis at its earliest stage.
Article: Effects of dexamethasone and linoleic acid on hepatic secretion of biliary lipids and anionic polypeptide factor: In vivo and in vitro studies[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Synthetic glucocorticoids, such as dexamethasone, and diets enriched with unsaturated fatty acids have been shown to stimulate hepatic bile salt synthesis. This fact led us to investigate the effects of dexamethasone and linoleic acid supplementation on bile secretion. Cholesterol (Ch) and phospholipid secretions are bile acid dependent. Ch and phospholipid in bile are also highly bound to a small apoprotein, the anionic polypeptide factor (APF). In bile, APF may play a physiological role in stabilizing cholesterol:phospholipid vesicles and might also be important in the regulatory process of bile lipid secretion. In order to study the factors influencing bile secretion, the biliary secretion rates of bile lipids and APF were experimentally modulated in perfused rat liver (PRL) and HepG2 cells. As expected, dexamethasone induced an increase in the biliary secretion rate of bile salts (BS) in the two models (PRL: 34 up to 67 nmol/l/min/g liver; HepG2 cells: 234% vs. 100% in controls). The bile secretion rates for phospholipids (PRL: from 5 down to 1.5 nmol/l/min/g liver; HepG2 cells: 93 vs. 100% in controls) and APF (PRL: from 0.34 down to 0.12 microg/l/min/g liver; cells: 86 vs. 100% in controls) rapidly decreased independently from those of BS. The data from experimental cell models supplemented with linoleic acid indicated a correlation between the BS and APF levels (APF: 71 and 63%; BS: 161 and 197% vs. 100% in controls). The phospholipid level was regulated independently from that of APF and BS and increased (106 and 111% vs. 100% in controls), while Ch remained nevertheless unchanged. Our data showed that dexamethasone induced changes in bile and that linoleic acid clearly impaired the regulation exerted by the dexamethasone on bile lipids.
Article: Acute ingestion of different dietary fatty acid species modulates postprandial lipid responses in New Zealand white rabbits[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Although several investigations have linked the degree of fatty acid saturation to plasma lipid responses in the postprandial state, further evaluation is necessary. In this study, we compared the effect of saturated (SFA), monounsaturated (MUFA), and polyunsaturated (PUFA) fatty acids on postprandial lipid metabolism using complementary in vivo and in vitro approaches. Fat (10 g) cholesterol (0.5 g) test meals that provided either lard (SFA), olive oil (MUFA), or sunflower oil (PUFA) were ingested by chow-fed New Zealand white rabbits (n = 8). In addition, hepatic uptake of triglyceride-cholesterol-rich lipoproteins (TCRL) isolated from rabbits chronically ingesting SFA, MUFA, or PUFA diets was measured using freshly isolated chow-fed rabbit hepatocytes. Whatever dietary fatty acids ingested, postprandial triglyceridemia and occurrence of radiolabelled dietary lipids in plasma were not markedly different. Conversely, SFA induced higher postprandial cholesterolemia and phospholipemia than MUFA (P < 0.05) whereas PUFA prevented postprandial cholesterol increase. TCRL disappearance from cultured liver cell media was delayed with SFA-rich TCRL and faster with PUFA whereas MUFA-rich TCRL showed an intermediate figure. From these data, we conclude that SFA, MUFA, and PUFA elicited different postprandial plasma and lipoprotein lipid responses. The fatty acid composition of TCRL had a major impact on their subsequent metabolism, especially uptake by cultured hepatocytes. The SFA-induced hypercholesterolemia could be related to an altered hepatic uptake whereas a faster clearance and hepatic uptake could explain the cholesterol-lowering effect of PUFA in rabbits. MUFA, like PUFA, accelerate uptake by hepatocytes but favor cholesterol ester enrichment of TCRL.
Article: HMG CoA Reductase and LDL Receptor Genes Are Regulated Differently by 15-Ketosterols in Hep G2 Cells[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The ability of two 15-ketosubstituted sterols, 5alpha-cholest-8(14)-en-3beta-ol-15-one and 3beta-(2-hydroxyethoxy)-5alpha-cholest-8(14)-en-15-one, to alter the mRNA levels of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase, low density lipoprotein receptor, and oxysterol binding protein was studied and compared with the effects of 25-hydroxycholesterol in Hep G2 cells. All three oxysterols decreased the level of HMG CoA reductase mRNA at concentrations of 10-30 microM, although 25-hydroxycholesterol was effective at concentrations of 1-3 microM. 25-Hydroxycholesterol lowered the level of LDL receptor mRNA more efficiently after 8 hours than after 24 hours of incubation, whereas 15-ketosterols did not decrease the mRNA level of the LDL receptor. The transcriptions of HMG CoA reductase and LDL receptor genes are therefore independently regulated by 15-ketosterols in Hep G2 cells. In addition, the level of the oxysterol binding protein mRNA is not affected by oxysterols in Hep G2 cells.
Article: Beneficial effects of gamma linolenic acid supplementation on nerve conduction velocity, Na+, K+ ATPase activity, and membrane fatty acid composition in sciatic nerve of diabetic rats[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Metabolic and vascular abnormalities are implicated in the pathogenesis of diabetic neuropathy. Two principal metabolic defects are altered lipid metabolism resulting from the impairment of delta-6-desaturase, which converts linoleic acid (LA) into gamma linolenic acid (GLA), and reduced nerve Na+, K+ ATPase activity. This reduction may be caused by a lack of incorporation of (n-6) fatty acids in membrane phospholipids. Because this ubiquitous enzyme maintains the membrane electrical potential and allows repolarization, disturbances in its activity can alter the process of nerve conduction velocity (NCV). We studied the effects of supplementation with GLA (260 mg per day) on NCV, fatty acid phospholipid composition, and Na+, K+ ATPase activity in streptozotocin-diabetic rats. Six groups of 10 rats were studied. Two groups served as controls supplemented with GLA or sunflower oil (GLA free). Two groups with different durations of diabetes were studied: 6 weeks with no supplementation and 12 weeks supplemented with sunflower oil. To test the ability of GLA to prevent or reverse the effects of diabetes, two groups of diabetic rats were supplemented with GLA, one group for 12 weeks and one group for 6 weeks, starting 6 weeks after diabetes induction. Diabetes resulted in a 25% decrease in NCV (P < 0.0001), a 45% decrease in Na+, K+ ATPase activity (P < 0.0001), and an abnormal phospholipid fatty acid composition. GLA restored NCV both in the prevention and reversal studies and partially restored Na+, K+ ATPase activity in the preventive treatment group (P < 0.0001). These effects were accompanied by a modification of phospholipid fatty acid composition in nerve membranes. Overall, the results suggest that membrane fatty acid composition plays a direct role in NCV and confirm the beneficial effect of GLA supplementation in diabetic neuropathy.

ABSTRACT: An overview on the applications and the contributions of electrophoretic techniques to the analysis of biliary proteins is presented. The electrophoretic techniques include free-, paper-, agar-, acetate cellulose film- and starch gel-electrophoresis, immunoelectrophoresis, sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and high resolution two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. These techniques were applied in the separation and characterization of hepatic bile proteins, gallbladder bile proteins, gallstone proteins, and finally vesicular and micellar proteins. The chief contribution of electrophoresis to research in the field of cholesterol crystal and gallstone formation has been in the characterization of pro- and anti-nucleating proteins.

ABSTRACT: Liver fatty acid-binding protein (L-FABP) is a small cytoplasmic molecule highly expressed in the liver. Since L-FABP exhibits affinities for several biliary components, its presence in bile was explored by Western blotting and competitive ELISA in various mammalian species. A L-FABP-like immunoreactivity was consistently found in both hepatic and gallbladder bile. A close molecular identity between this 14 kDa biliary protein and the purified L-FABP was assessed by immunological analyses and high performance capillary electrophoresis. Pharmacological induction of hepatic L-FABP biosynthesis led to a similar increase in biliary L-FABP levels showing a close relationships between the cytosolic and biliary contents of this protein. Finally, a correlation between the presence of L-FABP in bile and both bile flow and bile acid release was found. These data suggest an output of L-FABP in bile in normal conditions which might be coupled with the physiological release of biliary components.
Article: Stimulation of the apo AI–high density lipoprotein system by dietary soyabean lecithin in humans[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The aim of this work was to assess, the effect of a dietary supplement of soyabean lecithin on the apoprotein (apo) AI–high density lipoprotein system in humans. Adult outpatients (three women and seven men, aged 52 ± 5 years) were selected on the basis of a major type IIA hypercholesterolemia (>6.5 mmol/L). For each subject, a previous control period of 6 weeks consisted in a daily dietary supplement of 3 g soyabean oil (SO) as placebo distributed in two capsules at three main meals. Subjects then were given a daily dietary supplement of 3 g purified soyabean phosphatidylcholine (SPC) for 6 weeks, also distributed in two capsules at the three main meals. The usual basal diet of each subject was monitored every 4 weeks by a 3-day food recall. Between the end of the SO period and the end of the SPC period, plasma level of apo AI significantly increased (from 1.01 to 1.23 g/L), as did unesterified cholesterol (from 1.80 to 2.00 mmol/L). The esterified cholesterol to total cholesterol ratio and apo E level significantly decreased between the beginning and the end of the experiment. Esterified cholesterol and apo B levels remained unchanged. The levels of apo AI or unesterified cholesterol were not correlated to the alcoholic calories or to total or lipid energy. Dietary soyabean lecithin contributed to stimulation of the reverse cholesterol transport by increasing apo AI system and decreasing apo AII and apo E systems. Thus, soyabean lecithin could be considered an effective nutrient useful in the dietary treatment of mild hypercholesterolemia.
