Objectives: The objectives of the study were to determine therapeutic efficacy of homoeopathic medicines in the management of bronchial asthma and to identify reliable indications of the effective medicines, most useful potencies, frequency of administration, and their relationship with other medicines. The objectives also included determining the efficacy of homoeopathic medicines to alleviate acute exacerbation of asthma and to prevent further progression of disease by controlling recurrent attacks.
Methods: It was a multi-centric observational study (Open clinical trial) carried out by Central Council for Research in Homoeopathy at its five research institutes/units from the year 1978 to 2003. Out of 2641 bronchial asthma patients enrolled, 2107 patients were followed up regularly. The detailed case recording was done for each case and the medicine (similimum) was prescribed according to the principles of Homoeopathy. During acute attacks, medicines were selected on the basis of presenting symptoms while during asymptomatic phase, medicines were selected on constitutional basis. Mother tinctures of certain medicines were used to check acute attacks of asthma.
Results: Out of 2107 cases followed up, 52 patients were cured and 1822 cases improved in varying degrees: marked improvement in 856 cases, moderate improvement in 444 cases and mild improvement in 522 cases. Improved cases showed less frequent acute exacerbations and decreased intensity and duration of subsequent attacks of asthma. Out of these 233 cases did not improve. Arsenicum album was seen to be the most effective and most frequently indicated medicine in the treatment of asthma as it alone improved 933 cases out of 1042 cases it was prescribed. Other medicines found effective were Hepar sulphuris (n=51), Kali carbonicum (n=83), Lycopodium clavatum (n=60), Natrum sulphuricum (n=78), Phosphorus (n=34) and Pulsatilla nigricans (n=63). Viburnum opulum mother tincture was found effective during acute attacks of asthma (n=29).
Conclusion: The outcome of the study shows that homoeopathic medicines are effective in managing acute attacks of bronchial asthma as well as in controlling recurrent attacks of asthma. A group of most effective medicines in asthma were evolved and their most reliable indications were deduced in this study. The other objectives of the study that included most useful potencies of medicines, their frequency of administration and relationship with other medicines could not be achieved. Now Council has taken up a multicentric study on Chronic bronchitis with pulmonary function test markers since 2005.

It was not exactly the kind of high-profile move many were anticipating general manager Alex Anthopoulos would engineer at the trade deadline to bolster the playoff chances of the Toronto Blue Jays.
But Anthopoulos insists that the two deals he managed to pull off late Monday night that netted the Blue Jays two relative unknowns in relievers Brad Lincoln and Steve Delabar have helped improve the club moving forward.
"I think at the end of the day the fans will understand that we're ultimately doing what we think is best for the short- and long-term of the club," Anthopoulos said Tuesday afternoon during a telephone conference call with reporters. "And I don't think anybody wants us to make a bad deal.
"We have the ability to make bad deals, to make a splash and get a big name. A month later, two months later, everyone will probably look back and say that was a mistake."
Lincoln was the more costly of the new additions, obtained from the Pittsburgh Pirates in exchange for Travis Snider, Toronto's 24-year-old left fielder who has never been able to live up to his immense potential since the Blue Jays chose him in the first round (14th overall) in the 2006 draft.
Lincoln, 27, was also a first-round pick that year – fourth overall to the Pirates, who is 4-2 this season with a 2.73 earned run average as both a starter and a reliever in Pittsburgh.
Delabar, 29, was plucked off the roster of the Seattle Mariners in exchange for Eric Thames, Toronto's opening day starter in left field who lasted 46 games with the big league club before being sent to Triple A.
Delabar is 2-1 this season with a 4.17 ERA in 34 appearances with Seattle.
In the week's leading up to Tuesday's MLB non-waiver trade deadline, it was speculated that the Blue Jays would look to try and strengthen their roster through the addition of an established starter or two.
Toronto's starting rotation has been decimated by injury this year with the loss of Brandon Morrow, Kyle Drabek and Drew Hutchison.
Despite all that, the 51-51 Blue Jays have managed to keep within striking distance of the second playoff wild-card spot in the American League, beginning play on Tuesday 4.5 games off the pace.
The Blue Jays were rumoured to have expressed interest in a number of starters heading into the trade deadline, including the likes of Josh Johnson of the Miami Marlins and Matt Garza of the Chicago Cubs.
Without being specific, Anthopoulos said he had been involved in trade talks with a number of teams, discussions that also surrounded the possible acquisition of starting pitcher.
"Anything we thought could help our club," he said.
But in the end the price was deemed just too high.
"We thought we were moving toward something last [Monday] night," he said. "We had a late night here, really late, and didn't have a whole lot of sleep and it carried over into the morning and ended up falling apart.
"Again, that happens each trade deadline."
Anthopoulos said when the opportunity presented itself to strengthen his bullpen through the acquisition of Lincoln and Delabar he didn't hesitate.
"We've added two big league players … to our bullpen," he said. "I think we've improved our club because of where we're positioned right now. I don't think there's any doubt about that at all."
Player controllability is always a key element when Anthopoulos is conducting business and both Lincoln and Delabar fit that bill, under team control through the 2017 season.Report Typo/Error

CULLOWHEE Western Carolina University will globally expand its gerontology program this year with course offerings in Asheville, Henderson County and as far away as the Netherlands.
Marketing to Mature Consumers (MKT 693) will be offered Monday, May 9, through Tuesday, May 24. The graduate-level course will focus on the mature consumer and the impact of the aging demographic.
The course will meet Monday through Friday from 6 to 9:10 p.m. in Karpen Hall on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Asheville.
The aging of the American population will lead to some of the most dramatic changes in our history, said course instructor Steve Henson, Western assistant professor of marketing and business law.
Students will study the implications of the aging phenomenon on fields of business, healthcare and gerontology.
Aging and Health Care in the Netherlands (GERN 495/695) will be held Friday, July 15, through Saturday, July 23. The course offers undergraduate and graduate students the opportunity to study aging from an international perspective.
Students will visit the Netherlands to learn various components of aging and health care through assigned readings, self-directed study and online activities.
Course enrollment is limited to 10 students. Instructors are Ann Johnson, associate dean of Western's College of Applied Sciences, and Judy Mallory, assistant professor of nursing at Western.
Healthy and Integrative Aging (GERN 510), offered in the fall, will provide a broad overview of trends and issues in the field of gerontology, with emphasis on healthful living. The course will be offered in Henderson County, with supplemental online study.
Instructor for the course is Davia Krings, head of Western's gerontology certification programs.
In addition to gaining information on developmental issues of aging, students will explore the impact of nutrition, leisure, exercise, social engagement and other lifestyle behaviors on quality of life, longevity and fitness, Krings said. Students will be asked to apply the information to their own lives, as well as those they serve.
Western offers a certification program in gerontology at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, as well as a gerontology option within the master of health sciences degree program. Traditional class meetings are held two to four times per semester with follow-up course work online.
For more information or an application, contact Marcia Caserio, Western's regional director of education outreach, at (828) 693-8375 or via e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.

GATESVILLE — Ethel Townsend should be used to this feeling, but the grandmother of Cullen Mayhew couldn't hold back her joy.
"I'm so happy that I could burst my buttons – if I had any," Townsend said. "I am so proud of my little Cullen and the person he has grown to be."
On Thursday afternoon Mayhew committed to play baseball for McHenry Community College in Illinois where he expects to play as a freshman – even if he doesn't know where on the field he'll contribute from.
"I know I'm going to be hitting," Mayhew said. "I mainly pitched in high school, but when the coaches saw me with a bat they said that's where I'll be – I just want to play, doesn't matter where."
Mayhew only ever wanted to play. From the time he was young, his dream was to play college ball and hopefully beyond.
"He always talked about wanting to play in the major leagues and this is a definite start for him," said Cullen's father, Clint Mayhew. "If he plays well over the next two years maybe a bigger school will take notice and sign him to play."
Mayhew has full confidence in his physical ability to play the game and sees college as a way to school himself in the mental aspect of baseball. His main focus will be improving, while contributing to a program that tallied 44 wins last season.
"I never worry about the physical stuff," Mayhew said. "I just have to listen to my coaches and those who have been there before."
Mayhew is excited about going to school out of state and looks forward to the challenges that it offers. He isn't worried about his athletic performance or his academic responsibilities.
"I have to focus on the important things and remember what my goals are," Mayhew said.

The wait is over. The New York Jets have finally pulled the plug on Mark Sanchez. Rex Ryan named Greg McElroy the starter early Wednesday morning. This move has been heavily anticipated and was long overdue. Ryan's decision comes after Sanchez threw four interceptions and fumbled to end the game. That performance not only lost the game to the Tennessee Titans, but also eliminated the Jets from playoff contention.
"I respect coach's decision," Sanchez explained. "Obviously, I want to be out there playing, so I don't necessarily agree with it, but when something like that happens, I just do my best to support Greg (McElroy) and support the team and get him ready to play. Then, obviously, prepare like the starter in case I need to go in there."
The Jets need to keep two things in mind. First, the organization needs to decide if Sanchez is still the quarterback of the future or if they want to go in a different direction. Second, who would take Sanchez's spot as the leader of the offense?
This season Sanchez has thrown 17 interceptions and has a 54.7 completion percentage during the 2012 season. Sanchez has thrown only 13 touchdowns, the least amount in a season since he threw 12 during his rookie campaign.
"Well, it's disappointing," Sanchez said. "You just hate letting other guys down on the team and that's the worst part of it. You're going in there, trying to play well and improve and (I) just made some bad decisions. I just have to take care of the football better and own up to my mistakes and get better.
These mistakes helped keep the Jets out of the playoffs for the second straight season. The week has not been pretty for the fourth year player. He has officially been benched by Ryan. Also, Sports Illustrated reported Sanchez received death threats on twitter. There has also been talk that the Jets are ready to possibly trade Sanchez in the offseason. The Jets might look towards another struggling quarterback during the offseason. Many believe that they may be interested in the Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick.
Of course Sanchez cannot take all of the blame for this disappointing season. There have been multiple injuries to some of the Jets' star players. Sanchez has lacked major playmakers in the huddle and for that reason the Jets have not had a consistent contributor on the offensive side of the ball.
Now, McElroy is the starter. He appeared in one game this season and helped lead the Jets to a second half comeback victory over the Arizona Cardinals. McElroy went 3-5 for 29 yards and a touchdown. When McElroy entered the game the fans at MetLife stadium became energized and the team was motivated. McElroy can give hope for the Jets future if he performs well this week.
As for the third quarterback, he will most likely keep his role apart of the Wildcat offense. It was believed the reason Tim Tebow was acquired during the offseason was because he would give Sanchez some competition. If Sanchez didn't perform then Tebow would be the player leading the troops. But, that's not the case. Sanchez is out as the starter and second year quarterback Greg McElroy is the Jets' guy.
"It's been a tough one, but we have two games left and we're really focused on just going out and playing," Sanchez said. "(We're) playing for a little bit of pride here, trying to get back to .500, and whatever that means for me personally, just helping Greg as much as I can and then be ready for my next shot."

Our family had fun with the self-timer and posing with our vineyard in the background on a blustery, November, California day. I used an MM card from the content bundle as my inspiration. It got embellished using several designer's pieces. Choosing to split the photo from the original design into three photos allowed me to show more of our session and the family's personalities. The last photo was "drawn" with Corel Painter 4, a new anniversary present from my mom.

Rockefeller calls it a day
By Dominic Kamp
October 23rd, 2013
Although it was back in 2008 when I visited the Rockefeller Center the last time, it felt like yesterday. I noticed though that the skyline had changed quite a bit. The building in the front center (between 46th & 47th streets) must have popped up out of the ground, as it's not even in Google Maps. Nevertheless, it was a beautiful day and at last, I could experience how Rockefeller enjoyed a sunny day's ending.

Unique sunrise view in the mountains of Fiordland, New Zealand.
The only way to get up there is by helicopter - I had an amazing view on the sunrise over Fiordland. The Norwest Lakes were sparkling in the early morning light and the Sun dyed everything deep orange after rising over the peaks.
The Lord of the Rings producers liked and filmed beside these high alpine lakes too. One of the most stunning places I've ever been!

Monaco Yacht Show 2013 Sunset

Monaco Yacht Show 2013 sunset panorama overlooking the Côte d'Azur.
The photograph spans a full 180 degrees from the Principality of Monaco, over the Vista Palace hotel in the foreground, to Roquebrune Cap Martin, Menton, and Italy's Ventimiglia. Shot during the evening before the official begin of the Monaco Yacht Show, our photographer was lucky to catch a clear sky, since only one day later, during this year's yacht show event, the weather was not very positive.
The full resolution is a staggering 560 megapixel TIFF file (total resolution of 29,505 x 18,440 pixels at 300 dpi). A high resolution HD version (10,240 x 6,400 pixel) is available as a free download for personal use at http://crevis.io/p204

Ponte Vecchio
October 18th, 2013
Ponte Vecchio ("Old Bridge") is a bridge over the Arno River in Florence (north-central Italy). It is one of the oldest closed-spandrel segmental arch bridges in the world. Moreover, the bridge is covered with buildings like jewelers and souvenir shops that are still selling their products like in the Middle Ages
Ponte Vecchio looks very nice during daylight but I decided to capture it at night. To overcome the strong contrasts due to this setup I used the HDR technique. I hope you enjoy it.

SECRETARY CLINTON: Thank you very much, Master of Ceremonies. And let me begin by thanking everyone associated with this Paediatric Center of Excellence for the work you do every day and for the very warm welcome today. I want to thank Dr. Mbewe; Ambassador Eric Goosby from the United States Government, where he heads the PEPFAR program, he's our Global AIDS Coordinator; Dr. Neil Zadalare of our Health and Human Services Department, one of the critical elements in our Global Health Initiative; and to all of the Americans who are here for this important occasion. And I especially wish to extend my greetings and respect to His Excellency, President Banda, and for all of the officials from the Zambian Government, representatives from the University Teaching Hospital, all members of the media, NGOs, and health communities. And so let me add, all protocols observed. (Laughter and applause.)
I am delighted to be with you and to have had a brief tour and explanation of the excellent work that is being done here at the Centre. The president and I met with very impressive doctors, medical staff, support staff. We saw firsthand the program that helps survivors of gender-based violence and the community approach that is being taken to that problem. And the president and I had the honor of meeting a young mother and her child who have benefited from the work you have done here, the mother being HIV-positive but getting medical care and treatment and following the regimen and now having a beautiful 11-month-old daughter who is HIV-negative.
This dedication marks an important day, certainly for Zambia and for the United States, but in particular for our partnership. We are aware that Zambia faces many health challenges, particular those affecting women and children. But we're also very pleased that the Government of Zambia is working to improve health of the people across the country. For instance, Zambia's partnership with PEPFAR has meant that 344,000 Zambians are receiving anti-retroviral treatment that gives them the chance to lead healthy lives, care for their families, and contribute to their country's development.
This facility is further evidence of our shared commitment. The Ministry of Health -- and I thank the minister for being here -- plans to make the Paediatric Centre of Excellence the centerpiece of its efforts to tackle two deeply interrelated challenges, gender-based violence against women and girls, and the transmission of HIV from mothers to their children.
The United Nations has identified the elimination of pediatric AIDS as a global goal by 2015, and we have reached a crucial point around the world. That objective is within our grasp, and Zambia is ahead of many countries in fulfilling that goal. With renewed efforts and the involvement of all -- governments, civil society, faith-based partners, medical experts and personnel, and people living with HIV -- we can achieve this goal.
For our part, the United States has highlighted the importance of mothers' treatment, and in particular of women and children's health. We are dedicated to preventing mother-to-child transmission. That is part of President Obama's Global Health Initiative. We contribute more than $300 million each year to help HIV-positive mothers protect their children from the virus. And earlier this week at the United Nations, Dr. Goosby, on behalf of our government, committed to an additional $75 million for the prevention of mother-to-child transmission as part of the global plan.
In recent years, Zambia has made enormous strides in its own efforts to eliminate mother-to-child transmission. Since 2006, Zambia has increased its HIV testing of pregnant women by more than 50 percent. And now, as I learned, 87 percent of all pregnant women are being tested for HIV.
But challenges still remain. Every year, some 80,000 pregnant women in Zambia test positive for HIV. It's crucial that we work even harder together to help these women live and thrive and to make sure their babies are born (inaudible). President Banda recently set a bold goal, to call for the virtual elimination of mother-to-child transmission in this country by 2014. And Mr. President, the United States is eager to help Zambia reach the goal. I think it was moving to both the president and me to meet that young mother and her baby, and that image will stay in both of our minds as we attempt to do everything in our power to help Zambia eliminate mother-to-child transmission.
That's why today I am pleased to announce an additional $15 million in PEPFAR funding for Zambia. (Applause.) These resources will help bring more medicine to more people who need it. It will help improve the facilities that mothers need throughout their pregnancy, such as the clinics where they see a midwife or an obstetrician, or the maternity units in hospitals like this one. We also had a very important discussion with the medical director, who himself is an OB/GYN, about how we can do more to assist those mothers who give birth at home.
This support is just one more way in which the United States Government is working as a partner with Zambia to make a difference in the lives of women and girls. We are collaborating on long-term, systemic changes that will help remove the economic, cultural, social, and legal barriers to health care services. And we are specifically targeting gender-based violence. It is at the root of so much of the ill health and disempowerment of women and girls, and it is directly related to HIV and AIDS.
This center, which offers services to young survivors of abuse and their families, is an example of the one-stop integrated care that families need. I also was very impressed that Zambia is moving toward smart cards. (Applause.) It's called a care card. And Zambia is moving toward electronic medical records, something that I've worked on for more than a decade in my own country. So I may send some people here to see how it's done. (Laughter.)
This dedication today is all about partnership. It shows the commitment of the government and people of Zambia to tackle some of the biggest challenges in health. Ignoring these challenges, as still, unfortunately, some leaders do, Mr. President, it doesn't make them go away, it doesn't cure anybody, it doesn't help anybody live a better life, and it doesn't help a country develop. So what this government is doing, what your leaders and your experts are doing, is so critical.
So although today we dedicate a facility, we are here not just because of the facility. We are here because we admire and support what the government and people of Zambia are doing. You can have the most beautiful facility in the world -- and I've been to countries where I have visited beautiful facilities -- but you don't have the quality of expert medical care, you don't have the government's support, you don't have the will of the people manifest.
So what's important about this dedication -- yes, we are proud to dedicate this facility and turn it over to the Government of Zambia, but we do so because we are confident that the Government of Zambia will continue doing the work that is making a difference in the lives of the people in this beautiful country.
Thank you all very much. (Applause.)

LANSING, March 8. Today, the Michigan Public Service Commission took the final step necessary to allow electric customers in Michigan to choose an alternative electric supplier if they wish to do so. The Detroit Edison Company must develop application forms by March 22, to permit some customers to choose an alternative supplier before the peak summer season. The purpose of this program is to assist Detroit Edison in meeting its electric capacity needs for this summer. In addition, the Commission adopted implementation plans for Consumers Energy Company and Detroit Edison that will allow other customers of those utilities to choose alternative suppliers beginning September 20, 1999. Ultimately, all customers will be allowed to choose another supplier by January 1, 2002. "The Public Service Commission's orders are designed to achieve two goals," said Commission Chairman John Strand. "First, we need to make sure that adequate electric supplies are available to meet the needs of Michigan citizens this summer. Second, electric customers will be able to choose their supplier if they wish to do so, thus making the benefits of competition available to all." Chairman Strand emphasized that customers will not be required to switch suppliers and may stay with their existing utility if they wish. According to Chairman Strand, "The Commission's program is designed to provide choice for those who want it and protection for those who don't." In a related matter, the Commission ordered Detroit Edison to reduce its rates by $14.8 million on January 1, 2000, in addition to the $93.8 million reduction that the Commission had previously required. The Commission also began a proceeding to examine alternative licensing options for electric suppliers. The MPSC is an agency within the Department of Consumer and Industry Services.

Although gut diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease, mucositis and the alimentary cancers share similar pathogenetic features, further investigation is required into new treatment modalities. An imbalance in the gut microbiota, breached gut integrity, bacterial invasion, increased cell apoptosis to proliferation ratio, inflammation and impaired immunity may all contribute to their pathogenesis. Probiotics are defined as live bacteria, which when administered in sufficient amounts, exert beneficial effects to the gastrointestinal tract. More recently, probiotic-derived factors including proteins and other molecules released from living probiotics, have also been shown to exert beneficial properties. In this review we address the potential for probiotics, with an emphasis on probiotic-derived factors, to reduce the severity of digestive diseases and further discuss the known mechanisms by which probiotics and probiotic-derived factors exert their physiological effects.
The microbiota of the gastrointestinal tract in both humans and animals consists of microorganisms that flourish throughout the digestive tract. These living microorganisms form an enormous microbial community that includes both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, as well as viruses, fungi and parasites [
Probiotics are broadly defined as living, non-pathogenic micro-organisms (usually bacteria) which, when administered in sufficient numbers, exert a positive influence on host health [
A number of animal and human studies have shown the beneficial effects of probiotics on health through maintenance of a healthy gut microbiota [
Mechanisms of probiotic action described to date include adhesion to the intestinal-lumen interface; competition with pathogens for receptor binding, nutrients and colonization; enhancement of mucosal barrier function; promotion of innate and adaptive immune responses; elaboration of bacteriocins; and modulation of cell kinetics, with further mechanisms of action likely to be identified [
Probiotic administration has the potential to shift the microbiota composition from a pathogenic predominance towards a more beneficial microbiotic ecosystem [
Adhesion of bacteria to mucosal surfaces and epithelial cells is one of the key features of probiotic action [
Probiotic adhesion ability is also determined by pH and temperature levels during fermentation [
The ability of probiotics to inhibit the growth of pathogens has been widely investigated, and more recently, antimicrobial properties of probiotics have been described.
Even though a wide variety of probiotics have demonstrated antimicrobial properties against certain pathogens, not all have been shown to be efficacious. For example, Parassol
In summary, many probiotics have the ability to adhere to the intestinal-lumen interface; compete with pathogens, and perform receptor binding and colonization and hence be beneficial to the host.
The integrity of the intestinal barrier is influenced by changes in intestinal permeability, mucin composition, and homeostasis between the production of new enterocytes and the rate of apoptosis of damaged enterocytes. Diseases such as IBD and colon cancer may lead to disruption of the gut barrier [
Intestinal barrier function is modulated by tight junction (TJ) proteins such as occludin, zonula occludens-1, claudin-1, claudin-2, claudin-4, junction adhesion molecule-A and F-actin [
Integrity of the intestinal microbiota is partly maintained by the structure of mucins [
Luminal toxins and alterations in the intestinal microbiota can cause changes in both goblet cell function and the chemical composition of intestinal mucus [
Certain probiotics have the ability to restore intestinal mucin levels. The structural and functional properties of mucins influence bacterial adhesion activities. The monosaccharide components of mucin carbohydrate side-chains such as
The probiotic
In general terms, many probiotics have the potential to normalize intestinal integrity through restoration of the mucus layer. This property could be therapeutically important when treating a broad range of intestinal disorders and diseases characterized by mucosal injury.
Certain probiotics are able to modulate cell kinetics through effects on cell proliferation and apoptosis. This is important in the homeostasis of cell death and reproduction. Especially, the ability of certain probiotics to promote normal cell propagation and concurrently inhibit abnormal cell apoptosis could hold potential in the treatment of certain diseases such as cancer.
Probiotics may enhance cell proliferation by inhibiting the activity of normal cell apoptosis and also by promoting cell differentiation and cytoprotective activities. Lin
Apoptosis is a cell suicide mechanism to control cell numbers in tissues and eliminate individual cells [
Probiotics can therefore not only induce cell proliferation related gene expression to stimulate cell growth, but also modulate the apoptotic/anti-apoptotic proteins contributing to efficacy in response to cytokine mediated inflammation and apoptosis.
Approximately 70% of the immune system is situated along the intestinal tract as GALT (gut-associated lymphoid tissue); a crucial component of the immune system [
Immunoglobulin A (IgA) is a major antibody that is secreted across intestinal mucosal linings, playing a critical role in mucosal immunity [
To date, several studies, have demonstrated the effect of probiotic intake on improved host immunity via the production of IgA [
A variety of probiotics, such as
Dendritic cells (DCs) are professional antigen-presenting cells, which normally remain in an immature stage in peripheral tissues [
Commensal bacteria, such as
Certain probiotics have the capacity to stimulate DCs to produce anti-inflammatory cytokines while decreasing levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines induced by pathogens. A new probiotic strain,
In a recent commentary, Howarth proposed that probiotics/prebiotics could modulate intestinal inflammation, immune response and function through an effect on inflammasomes [
Further clarification of the role of inflammasomes and their modulation of intestinal inflammation, immune responses and gut function is required before we can understand the impact of probiotics and prebiotics on inflammasome-mediated processes.
Probiotics are commonly considered to be human-friendly and non-pathogenic bacteria. However, an awareness of safety implications should be maintained. Recent studies have found that the probiotic
Different strains of the same probiotic may also impart opposite effects, and results obtained from animal models could very well differ from those obtained in human studies. Further research is required to better identify the benefits and potential risks of probiotic administration.
Overall, interest in investigating the impact of probiotics has grown steadily during the past decade, with most studies focusing on the mechanisms and clinical applications of probiotics associated with intestinal disorders
Several studies have revealed the capacity for probiotics to secrete probiotic factors, such as bacteriocins and reuterin, which have been shown to inhibit the adhesion and viability of known enteric pathogens [
Moreover, Fayol-Messaoudi
More recently, Gomes
Combined, these derived factors, released from live probiotics, and found in their culture supernatants could have activities similar to their original "parent" probiotics. Supernatants from certain probiotics could potentially lower the likelihood of infection in the host and indirectly assist in maintaining intestinal integrity and immunity.
The improvement of intestinal barrier function can be modulated by certain probiotic species. For example, certain probiotics can decrease gut permeability, through strengthening of the gut barrier against pathogen invasion. Moreover, the gut barrier can also be influenced by modulation of the mucus layer and/or tight junctions [
More recently, Wang
Protein A20 expressed in human colon epithelial cell lines (HT-29) is crucial for the degradation of endocytic allergens by facilitating endosome/lysosome fusion, which in turn maintains the gut epithelial barrier [
A number of studies have reported the mechanism of live probiotics acting on the intestinal barrier by modulating tight-junction proteins and mucin levels
Several attempts have been made to investigate the effects of probiotic-derived factors on apoptosis
A recent study by Lebeer
In recent years the number of studies investigating the effects of probiotic-derived factors on pathogen-induced or oxidative stimuli-induced inflammation has increased. For example,
Recently, it has been reported that probiotic

The potential utility of probiotic-derived factors in cancer therapy represents a new frontier. Fatty acids such as butyrate have demonstrated anti-carcinogenic properties and
Determining the precise composition of secreted products from probiotic bacteria is challenging, and will depend on species, strain, micro-environment and culture conditions. In addition, it is rare for any individual probiotic to act through a single mechanism, and its biological impact is influenced by factors including dose, frequency of administration, and the composition of the microbiota. Given the enormous numbers of bacterial species, strains and sub-strains in the microbiota, the number of potential probiotics, and consequently, sources of probiotic-derived factors, is equally far-reaching. Considered together, future studies adopting a more targeted approach to the identification of probiotic biofactors could reveal a bright future for the clinical application of specific biofactors for a range of digestive disease conditions.

Signature celebration ideal as image right
GARETH BALE'S now-famous heart-shaped goal celebration could be an ideal candidate for registration as an image right in Guernsey, a sports law expert has said.
GARETH BALE'S now-famous heart-shaped goal celebration could be an ideal candidate for registration as an image right in Guernsey, a sports law expert has said.
Patrick Conliffe, an Irish solicitor who manages a number of Irish football clients at McHale Muldoon in Dublin, wrote positively about the island's image rights law in The Irish Times.
He said that Bale's signature celebration, which is currently subject to a trademark application in England and the EU, could be registered as an image right without the evidential requirements of a trademark application.
The footballer, or the holder of the image right, could then sell and license the right as a legal commodity.
Mr Conliffe, who is also a registered lawyer with the FA, said the move would add 'value, protection and clarity' to the image.
Comments for: "Signature celebration ideal as image right"
I know football has gone money crazy but this is getting ridiculous. How can someone sell a hand gesture as a legal commodity?
Does that mean kids at school will need to register and pay before imitating their favourite players in the playground?
Island Wide Voting
There's thousands to be made if football crowds were obliged to register their hand gestures
support it
As I understand it registering the hand gesture simply means that no one can profit from using the gesture in, for example, advertising campaigns without prior permission.
If a firm wanted to use the gesture it would be licensed out to them for a fee.
If he were to register it he would have to prove that the gesture is specific to him and that he 'owned' it and he wasn't copying celebrations that have been used before.
There's a couple of rather choice hand-gestures of my own I could think of in response to this particular one - not sure if they (or I) are exclusive enough to apply for image rights for them mind you!
Can dreaming up a gesture like this (combined with the obligatory ape-like facial expression) really warrant an image rights deal? This just seems really bizarre....how many times to you have to use it before you 'own' it....and what if it's something that other normal people elsewhere have been already doing for years....can they sue?
Like I said....bizarre!
I never knew it was supposed to be a heart. Whatever next.

In the July, 2011 issue we took a first look at Diablosport's Trinity handheld programmer. This unit carries on the tradition of Diablosport tuning from the well known Predator and adds a lot more functionality. We're not going to cover all the details again since you can find them in the July magazine.
What we are going to talk about is living with the unit, and what it can do for you. We'll tease you here by saying it did a whole heck of a lot for us at the West Coast Hot Rod Association's (WCHRA) Shootout at Sundown race at Auto Club Famoso Raceway during August. We'll also say up front that we're not going to reveal the exact secrets we learned. After all, we're racers and we want to win, but we'll give you enough information to point you in the right direction to discover what you need to know for bracket racing victory in late model Hemis.
One of the big advances of the Trinity over the Predator is in its ability to remain hooked up to the OBD II port and act as a virtual gauge panel and data logger. We have it mounted to the dash in front of the driver with several custom gauge layouts we can choose. For example, we have a layout that our driver, Alex Rogeo, likes to use when racing — displaying digital tachometer, engine coolant temperature, oil pressure, etc. Then we have two other custom layouts with data for her crew chief, your intrepid writer.
Having lived with the device for two months now, we have a couple of nits to pick. The display, even turned up to full brightness gets washed out and can be hard to read in direct sunlight. And since it's right there on the top of the dash that happens a lot in the daytime. We can still read it, but it takes a bit of effort. Conversely, at night the unit is very bright and reflects off the windshield, so we have to turn the brightness all the way down for night driving. It would be nice if Diablosport could add a quick adjust feature on a future software update, letting you have two brightness settings that are quickly accessible.
That said, we'll tell you right now they'll only take our Trinity away from us when they pry it from our cold, dead fingers. Since modern cars have a minimum of gauges, the driver side of us really likes having a display of exact engine temperature, oil pressure, oil temperature, etc. We feel comforted knowing exactly where the car stands rather than waiting for an idiot light to come on and tell us, oops, too late, something is now seriously amiss.
And as for the engineer/crew chief side of us, we're as happy as a pig at an all-you-can-eat slop trough, which is more apt than you might think. Because the Trinity can not only display the various parameters sensed by the car's PCM, it can data log them too; we have folders and folders of data on our car now. But those folders don't hold slop, they hold treasure.
In late July we competed in two classes at the Pacific Street Car Association (PSCA) Showdown at Sundown race in Las Vegas. It was hot, Africa hot, 109 degrees in the shade at dinner time hot. Running in two classes meant hot lapping at times, with Alex going straight from picking up the time slip to the back of the staging lanes. A staging error got us a DQ in the Street Muscle class, but we survived elimination rounds to make the ladder in our other class. We won the first round of Bracket-1 — an unlimited all-electronics class — against a tough racer in an 8 second altered, and then we had a hectic 45 minutes as racing stopped and Alex had to run off to compete in the bikini contest. In front of several thousand fans, she and seven other contestants competed to roars of approval and Alex grabbed second place and $250. Then back into racing clothes and head for the staging lanes. In the quarter finals of Bracket-1 we lost a close race to the defending Bracket-1 champion, Steve Cox (so at least our egos have that: we got beat but we got beat by the best, right?)
We had only three days between the PSCA race and the WCHRA at Famoso. We spent a lot of time sifting through the data logs and noting parameters and ETs, 60 foots, etc. And we thought we found something, something very interesting.

Strawberry Letter- He Cheated and Paid Big Price
Dear strawberry letter,
I'm a successful women working in corporate America. Doing me very well I was dating older men like 50ish, I'm in my 40s. This young 34 yr old started pursuing me. I pushed him off for six months. We started dating and he told me that he dated older women in past. I could not understand why but soon realized he had no job so I pushed him to go to school and told him a real man brings it to table. He is told me white women would take care of him. I told him when I get up everyone goes. Things were going great until I needed to use his iPad. I logged on to check my gmail and his came up. I'm a women and started to look, wow. This man was on every dating site posting naked pics and on craigslist propositioning for sex. I did more research and found out he was a sex offender so even though is a level one it's still an offender. I went to vacation mail on his gmail account and typed reply I'm a sex offender alert if this man, I put his name, contacts you call 911. Please go to Megan's list to confirm if in your neighborhood. This message went out to all his contacts and his probation officer. I then packed all his stuff put in paper bags and placed them on my lawn, changed my locks, and security codes. I then go and check his voicemail and there was a women on there with like ten calls. I call her to inform her of who I am. She told me she gives him money for sex and why am I complaning. I took the high road and hung up on her. I was hurt then it turned to revenge. I'm doing better just got back from Greece and Spain and had fun. Please Steve, what did I do wrong in my pick of a man?

SURPRISE, Ariz. — Rangers shortstop Elvis Andrus was scratched Thursday because of what the club called "sensitivity in his left arm" — apparently caused by a tattoo.
Andrus spent nine hours the two days before the spring training game against the Indians under a needle. He wanted a likeness of his late father, Emilo Andrus, who died in 1996 when Elvis was 7.
Andrus told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram he'll be ready to play Friday. He said: "It's a memory of my dad. I'm really proud that it's going to be on myself forever."
The tattoo covers most of Andrus' left arm from the elbow to shoulder. It apparently will be his last. He said "I'm done with this, too much pain."
Rivera tosses 1st simulated game
Yankees closer Mariano Rivera was all smiles after throwing 18 pitches in his first simulated game since knee surgery last spring.
"I feel good," Rivera said. "I feel real good. Getting stronger and stronger."
The 43-year-old pitched one inning against Yankees minor leaguers. He also fielded and covered first base.
Cards Beltran, Westbrook injured
Carlos Beltran and Jake Westbrook limped to the Cardinals' clubhouse moments apart in an 8-2 victory over the Marlins.
Beltran bruised the little toe on his right foot when he was hit by a pitch in the first inning. Westbrook bruised his left leg below the knee on a grounder hit by Casey Kotchman in the second.
Giants OF Torres hurt
Giants outfielder Andres Torres won't play for Puerto Rico in the World Baseball Classic and will be sidelined for at least a week because of a strained oblique.
Torres, 35, helped San Francisco win the World Series in 2010 and rejoined the Giants in December.
Mets LHP Feliciano OK'ed to return
Mets reliever Pedro Feliciano has been cleared to resume baseball activity while wearing a heart monitor.
Mets manager Terry Collins says he thinks Feliciano still will have enough time in spring training to get ready for the start of the season.
Indians drop concession prices
The Indians announced the rollback of concession prices at Progressive Field this year. Team president Mark Shapiro said it came in response to fans who have called for more affordable food and drink at the ballpark.

As they moved on with their lives following athletic careers defined by achievement and championships, it's safe to say the 2013 Linfield Athletics Hall of Fame class left the college a better place than when they arrived.
It's also accurate to note Linfield placed its own indelible marks on the eight newest inductees, all of whom were enshrined Nov. 9 into the college's distinguished Athletics Hall of Fame before family and friends.
Three-time track and field All-American Marci (Warnecke) Cammann '99, described Linfield as "a perfect fit for me, athletically, academically and socially. It's a place that challenged me to grow." She praised her coach, Dr. Garry Killgore, as "a great role model who showed genuine care for every student-athlete."
Killgore, who oversaw the Linfield track and field and cross country programs for 20 seasons, forged his own Hall of Fame career. When he took over as head coach in 1989, he inherited a men's program with a decent history and a dozen student-athletes, but only four women in either track & field or cross country. He retired having coached nine individual national champions and spurred more than half of the Wildcats' Top 10 performances in track & field.
"I knew I had a lot of work to do, but it was all worth it," he said.
Dawn Cartwright '90, a four-time all-conference honoree in volleyball, became the first member of her family to attend college. At Linfield, she savored the "true student-athlete experience," which balances textbooks with afternoon workouts and encourages friendships to blossom. Linfield, and in particular coach Shane Kimura, taught Cartwright that "practice, persistence and patience" were precursors to success.
Scott Hilgenberg '84, a baseball standout, relished the opportunity Linfield presented, leading him toward careers in minor-league baseball and ultimately, education administration. Many of the sound habits he learned under Hall of Fame coach Ad Rutschman '54 remain with him today.
The miniscule towns of Joyce, Wash., Eddyville, Ore., and Fields, Ore., produced three Hall of Famers. Linfield's small-school environment provided the perfect setting for football All-Americans Gary McGarvie '93, David Russell '02 and Mark Siegner '86 to flourish.
At Linfield, McGarvie learned "if I do my best, try my hardest and never give up, then I'll always have a Hall of Fame life."
Russell, an elementary school principal in Alaska, called his induction "a special day. It's surreal. " He said he appreciated the opportunity to be a student first and an athlete second, a set of priorities he imparts today with his own students and children.
The son of an eastern Oregon cattle rancher, Siegner learned common sense and independence during his career at Linfield. "The life skills I learned worked great for football but they also translated very well to everyday life."
Longtime assistant football coach and head tennis coach Wes Suan '78 was unable to attend the induction ceremony due to his assistant coaching obligation with Southern Methodist University. In a taped acceptance speech, Suan cited Linfield's small-school setting and relationships with faculty as influencing his athletic and professional success.
"The small campus really enhanced my chance to succeed," he said. "A lot of my professors became lifelong friends."
From them, Suan learned attention to detail, mental toughness, the importance of attitude, accountability and sportsmanship.
Suan offered a familiar refrain to close the night's program.
"Winning is important," he said. "but is winning or losing with class and respecting your opponent is more important."

Old Cambria County Jail
In downtown Ebensburg, PA a piece of local history has been captured and preserved by the Cambria County Historical Society. Located in the original cellblock of the former county jail, the Old Cambria County Jail is a historic installation open to the public.
Since opening in 2001, the museum has provided our region with a peek into the local justice system through the display of artifacts and educational posters, and even providing access to one of the cells.
Walking through the exhibit, visitors can view a sample of the day-to-day life of Cambria County prisoners and those responsible for their keeping. The display includes:
- The jail cell of Michael Smith, a prisoner that escaped from the jail on the night before he was scheduled to be executed by hanging
- Nooses used in executions
- A collection of prisoner-made weapons
- Jailhouse ledgers, modified to ensure privacy
The exhibit is located on the corner of Center and Sample Streets, Ebensburg, PA (click here for a map) and is open Monday through Friday from 9:00AM to 4:00PM. Visitors should enter via the Sample Street entrance.
If you would like to learn more about the Old Cambria County Jail, visit the Cambria County Historical Society's Web site, where they have a full series of newsletters on the subject, titled the "Jail Series Volumes 1-8".

Anthony Peluso earns more playing time with solid contribution for Winnipeg Jets
By KEN WIEBE, QMI Agency
NEW YORK — This time, Anthony Peluso was the one receiving the invitation instead of handing it out. Regardless, he wasn't about to refuse.
The Winnipeg Jets right-winger not only accepted the fight, Peluso ended up with a decisive victory, leaving New Jersey Devils tough guy Krys Barch with blood coming from the cut above his left eye on Sunday night.
Peluso had gone more than two months without a fight in a game, but showed no signs of rust.
"On my first shift, I got asked to go. I'm not going to ever say no, really. I'm always a gamer," said Peluso, who dropped the gloves just 1:57 into the Jets 4-2 win over the Devils. "It happens in games. I just wanted to spark the boys. It was our third game in four nights. I just wanted to pump them up.
"I'm pretty sure everybody has been waiting for it in the room. It was nice to get the first one under my belt."

Is It Corrective or Cosmetic? Plastic Surgery Stirs a Debate
At age 19, Michael Hatfield has a new face. It took a fight to get it.
Born with a deformity called hypertelorism and a midfacial cleft, the dark-haired teen had extremely wide-set eyes. The upper part of his nose was a sunken hollow. Underdeveloped cheekbones gave his face a flat, childish look.

Sutter Health Tackles Nursing Shortage
Not-for-Profit System On Pace for 35% Increase in RN Hires Over Two Years. Credits Comprehensive Recruitment and Retention Efforts
SACRAMENTO, Calif., Sept. 24, 2003 — In the midst of a chronic national shortage of nurses, Sutter Health has made great strides in recruiting qualified nurses throughout its not-for-profit network of community-based hospitals and physician organizations. Following the first half of 2003, Sutter Health and its affiliates are on track to increase registered nurse (RN) hires by 35 percent over 2001. The network increased RN hires by 18 percent over the same period just one year ago in 2002.
In 2001, affiliates throughout the Sutter network report hiring approximately 1,300 new registered nurses. Through the first half of this year (Q1&Q2), Sutter already has hired 920 new RNs. At the same time, Sutter reports that systemwide RN retention rates are better than the statewide average. This means that good portions of the RN new hires are filling vacant positions. Sutter Health credits these recruitment and retention gains to a comprehensive, systemwide strategy that involves expanding education and training programs, improving salaries and benefits, and making a multi-million-dollar investment in patient safety technologies that help nurses do their jobs.
"Across our network, we're helping to educate tomorrow's nurses, investing in today's workforce and employing high-tech tools that support our nurses in the care they provide," said Sutter Health President and CEO Van R. Johnson. "We're listening to our nurses and choosing to tackle the very real shortage through creative solutions that focus on what they really want from us. Clearly, these commitments are paying off for us and the communities we serve."
Sutter's education and training investments include more than $2 million in annual nursing scholarships as well as $13 million in educational partnerships with local colleges to expand classrooms and help ease impacted college programs.
Sutter and its affiliated hospitals and physician organizations also employ nearly two dozen specialists focused on recruiting health care professionals, including nine newly hired full-time nurse recruitment specialists brought on in the last two years. The network and its affiliates provide nurses with compensation and benefit enhancements that reward longevity, have committed to ongoing career presentations to school-age children, and are sponsoring strategic advertising campaigns to help attract the very best employees.
Just as important, Sutter Health is leading the country with a $50 million investment in the high-tech tools nurses want to help ensure safer medication delivery and improve patient outcomes in critical care units. And over the next decade, Sutter Health will spend at least $3.5 billion to upgrade or replace aging hospitals as well as construct much-needed physician care centers.
"We feel very proud to be part of an organization that invests in the technology and facilities we need to continually improve our skills and enhance the care we provide," said Carol Loffredi, R.N., critical care nurse at Sutter-affiliated California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco. "Sutter is not just making it better for our patients; they're making it better for the nurses too."
Despite these gains in nurse recruitment, Sutter officials acknowledge that much more needs to be done to meet the state's new nurse-staffing requirements and to address the nationwide shortage of nurses. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services projects a nationwide shortage of more than 800,000 nurses by the year 2020. Sutter Health and its affiliates are working with community and educational partners to change the statistic and make a positive difference.
Sutter Health is one of the nation's leading not-for-profit networks of community-based health care providers, delivering high-quality care in more than 100 Northern California communities. It is also the regional leader in infant deliveries, neonatology, orthopedics and pediatrics services. Sutter Health supports more than two dozen locally governed acute care hospitals as well as physician organizations; medical research facilities; regionwide home health, hospice and occupational health networks; and long-term care centers.

Recreates three of the most sought-after classic guitar amps, with three gain modes and three mic placements for a total of 27 possible configurations.
You get a truckload of great amps in one convenient stomp box, allowing you to go from clean or crunch to super-fat distortion in a flash.
Operation is simple; just choose the type of amp, from the smooth Calif (Californian), the bright, punchy TWED (Tweed), or the BRIT (British) with its incredible sustain and aggressive mids. Then select the gain mode, CLN (clean), HOT or HI G (high gain). Lastly, choose the mic placement from the three available selections. This feature is a BEHRINGER exclusive, allowing you to place the œvirtual mic in any of three positions:
(OFF X)"At the edge of the speaker cone, producing a smoother, softer sound with less midrange content
(CNTR)"Positioned at the center of the cone, for more upper mids and beefy low-end
(CLSIC)"Slightly in front of the cabinet, for high midrange content with tons of definition
We™ve also included a dedicated Drive control, for adjusting the amount of gain. This control effectively mimics the amount of push applied to the output stage of a tube amplifier, from a gentle nudge to full-out, tube-melting overdrive. Further tone shaping is provided by a highly musical 2-band EQ.
The GDI21 can be used for direct recording output, with speaker simulation or, when used in bypass mode, as a superb active DI box. A 1/4" output jack is provided for connecting to your amp and the gold-plated, balanced XLR connector will link you cleanly to the front of house console. Ground loop problems are nonexistent, thanks to the onboard ground lift switch.
Whether you use it on the stage or for recording, the GDI21 is the ultimate choice for musicians seeking an extremely versatile array of time-tested, classic tones. With the GDI21, you get the sound of three classic guitar amps and a superb DI box, all for the price of a single stomp box!

BRADENTON, Fla. -- It was another elimination round on American Idol last night, and with only five contestants left, the Suncoast's own Sam Woolf was on the chopping block. Unfortunately for Sam, "Woolf Watch" has now come to an end, as the singer was voted off the show Thursday. His music career, on the other hand, has only just begun.
Despite the disappointing ending, Sam's Idol journey had a real impact on his Braden River High classmates.
Thousands of teen girls' hearts broke last night when after a surprising twist -- host Ryan Seacrest told the contestants they could vote to keep the results show the same as always and let one person go home, or they could keep everybody on the show for another week, then send two people home next time.
The contestants voted in favor of sending one person home Thursday. Unfortunately, Sam got the boot.
Sam had plenty of ups and downs along the way -- the judges even used their only save to keep him in the competition one week -- but one thing's for sure, his Woolf Pack is stronger than ever.
The student government at Braden River High started the Woolf Pack, and they have been supportive and united since the beginning of Sam's run.
"We had a courtyard concert and they sold Woolf Pack T-shirts, so it's pretty cool," says Braden River principal Jennifer Gilray.
His presence on the show even impacted Braden River journalism students, who got to sit in on weekly media press conference calls with the eliminated contestants.
"As a journalist, it's absolutely amazing listening in on the teleconference and hearing the big names," says student Rachel Arcuri.
This week they got the chance to interview their American Idol.
"How did the support you receive from us really motivate you in the competition?" Asked student Katie Cafiero.
"It's crazy," Woolf said. "You guys, the support you've given me means so much to me, and yeah, I don't think I'd make it this far without you guys."
As Sam makes his way home, one big question looms large in all the girl's minds:
"We want to know -- are you going to prom?" Cafiero asked.
"Am I going to prom? Oh yeah, I forgot about that," Woolf responded.

Mumbai: Although everyone refers to him as the King, or the Badshah of Bollywood, the superstar recognized internationally for his talent, Shah Rukh Khan thinks of himself as labor class. This may seem shocking for everyone in India, but the actor is very modest and does not think as highly of himself as anyone else does.
What does the actor really mean by labor class, he explains himself in an interview. He said that he considers himself labor class because he likes to keep up an active, healthy lifestyle. According to his own sayings, he likes to work hard for his films, all day round, and even said that he is affected mentally when he does not have any work to do.
However, for some time now, the actor was slowed down by his own physics: his back has been giving him problems, not allowing him to work at the rate he was used to before. But it seems to be better now, and the superstar can go back to his old habits: work, work, work. Wonder how happy Gauri is about this.

Zac Efron Was Just Looking For Sushi. After Midnight. In Skid Row.
Yesterday, word got out that Zac Efron got his ass kicked by the homeless after he threw a bottle at them for some reason when his car "ran out of gas" in the middle of Skid Row. Which doesn't sound sketchy at all because there's a perfectly good reason for why Zac Efron was there. He, uh, wanted some sushi. Yeah, that's it. Sushi. TMZ reports:
Cops are skeptical, and it's echoed by Zac's friends. As one friend put it, "Zac's a loner. He goes out rarely and the idea of him driving for miles to go to some sushi restaurant in downtown L.A. after midnight is preposterous."
Several of Zac's friends tell us the so-called bodyguard is not a bodyguard at all. We've confirmed he's a convicted drug dealer who has been spending a lot of time with Zac recently … despite warnings from friends.
When reached for comment, noted narcotics expert Charlie Sheen said, "If Zac Efron was in Skid Row for sushi, then I'm goddamn Poseidon and vanquish my enemies with a trident. Actually, wait, I do do that last part. Can I start over?"
