Follow us:
The meetings look good on paper. The training looks good on TV. But the fundamental objection to Stop, Question and Frisk hasn't been addressed yet. Police are supposed to stop folks on the street only when there is a reasonable suspicion of a crime. Last year, that happened almost 700,000 times! Everyone wants the criminals behind bars. But the outcry won't subside until Mayor Bloomberg realizes that walking on a sidewalk is not suspicious.
The NYPD is trying to win public support over its controversial Stop, Question and Frisk policy. Last week, Police Commissioner Ray Kelly met with a new 12-member community advisory panel, including Rev. Calvin Butts and Rev. Herbert Daughtry. And today, police invited reporters to a facility in the Bronx for an overview of training procedures.
The training show-and-tell comes one day before the legislative session ends in Albany. Governor Cuomo said it's unlikely lawmakers will reach a deal on a bill to reduce penalties for minor marijuana possession. The bill would have lowered the number of arrests made during street stops, but wouldn't have addressed the stops themselves.
What's your reaction to Albany's inaction on a bill to decriminalize possession of small amounts of marijuana? Do you welcome the NYPD's efforts to meet with a community advisory panel over Stop, Question and Frisk? What question would you ask police trainers about street stop tactics?
Send your thoughts using the link above.
They can meet until their heads blow up. Stopping and Frisking is a warrantless search specifically forbidden by the U. S. Constitution in Article 4.
Bloomberg and Kelly: Your reading assignment this weekend is to read the 4th Amendment and, in fact, the entire constitution. There are many violations by the both of you and the rest of your minion.

Hi John,
What I don't understand is that if someone doesn't like a law they can just call a meeting and get special attention and it can be resolved to go their way. What happens to the rest of us that are so annoyed at this point at the way the whole city is being run altogether. So we have to go along with this new bill now to change the law about the amount of marijuana in ones possession. So all this flack about the sugar drinks imposed on us plus all the other restrictions that has been forced upon us without even asking us our opinion. Plus this mayor created a scare tactic panel being the board of health to get his point across and again he wins.
Thank you John,maxxieemp
The Police do not need additional training! The Police Commissioner need to completely abolish Stop & frisk. If Mayor Bloomberg choose not to demonstrate REAL leadership & take the initiative to revamp or end the program in it's entirety, Then Maybe "we the people "should go to an elected official such as (Governor Cuomo) to issue an Executive Order to do away with the racial element of the Stop & Frisk program...
Reasonable suspicion, as defined by a few over-zealous nuts is not reasonable. Stop and frisk essentially lowers the bar of reasonable suspicion below anything recognizable to the average American. This is not London or 1943 Germany.
Frank, Sunset Park, Brooklyn
This despicable practice brings to mind the Jim Crow laws in the South of the last century. Bloomberg should be ashamed of himself. If they were doing this say, to mostly Jews, there would be an outcry so loud that it would be immediately stopped. But apparently our Mayor can't connect the dots here. GretchenUWS
Bloomberg and Kelly are fools. They are building up so much hatred and rage in the minority communities, especially among the young men of those communities. It will come back and bite us all in the rear because of this incompetent, imperious fool of a mayor and his puppet police chief.

Dear Mr. Schiumo,
Analyzing this might help: In several cases the same person was stopped multi-times.
What was it that the police thought was suspiscious about these individuals? Note: they were innocent. for example, if a commono denominator comes up with these particularstops, how does it compare with people who were stopped and actually found in possession of weapons.
George Manhattan
When year after year, 82% of the folks you stop, question, & frisk are totally innocent of any crime, you KNOW you are doing something wrong. Stop & Frisk needs to be either seriously amended...or canceled completely if the NYPD refuses to fix the problems. Black & Hispanic young men have Constitutional rights, too. -Dan from Rego Park
the training is a bunch of hooey. cops can legally stop someone if they have a reasonable suspicion that a crime has been committed. So what happened with those nearly 700,000 stops? can't cops tell black people apart? were they all suspects in some sort of criminal activity, like walking down the street while black? the humiliation, degradation and embarassment caused by stop and frisk is so psychologically harmful that a young man's self esteem can be permanently damaged, especially if someone is stopped numerous times, which happens quite often. the policy is racial profiling plain and simple and it's a blight on this city.
meryl from manhattan
After seeing two undercover MALE officers "frisking" a 16-ish year old girl who was beautiful, I knew that most of these stops are for other reasons... This young girl should haveNEVER been touched by a male cop yet Both of the MALE officers fot a feel. Disgusting.
I stuck around to see that they "let her go".
MicheleCollege Point, Queens
This may have looked good on paper, but in reality what we have is an overly abused tactic used only in lower income areas. All it does is further the racial divide and make it more difficult for good citizens to get on with their lives.
Patrick from Astoria
Putting the problems w/SQF aside we cannot forget that it IS NOT WORKING. So everyone saying we need it to get guns of the street aren't looking at the NYPD's own stats. Shootiings are up as are more stops. We need to focus on policies that work.
New trainings and community taskforces are always welcome. In this case it's being used in place of real change. Unacceptable! End vs Mend is a misguided question. Police always have the right to stop for reasonable suspicion. We must end the abuses of that, period!
City Councilman Jumaane Williams
Stop and search is a bias act against the poor. I don't see stop and search in flushing queens or in Jackson heights. Do these area get special treatments. Their is prostitution and drugs in these neighbourhoods.
Crimes are "higher" in minority neighborhoods because the police look there fro crime. Just as much crime occurs on and around Wall Street, but I don't hear about those guys being stopped and frisked.
Article 4 of the US constitution was written before the goons and gangbangers in baggy pants and hoodies were packing heat. It ain't a color issue its a real life crime issue. When the liberal white boys start getting killed again uptown all this hoopla will end.
Jimmy from the Bronx.
Stop and Frisk is a good idea in theory but we have to understand we still live in a very racist country. Face it have you seen a group of cops just waiting to grab someone and frisk them in any of the other boroughs other than those where minorities live. I see cops stand in a corner looking at people and stooping them left and right because of their skin color. Every single one of my friends who are minorities have been stopped and frisked, humiliated in front of people most of them good college students. The people that are using the argument that it is a good policy and if you dont have nothing to hide it shouldn't bother you .....umm try walking down the street and being stopped almost every other day, basically criminalizing you for simply having the wrong skin color. I dont see cops stooping and frisking people in Central Park!!!
Hi Everyone,
The damage has already been done, 1000's of young men have been evicted from their home & family for non felony offenses (tiny amts of marijuana) they are separated from their families as well as unemployable be most employer's what happens to them? what about the mothers who worry 24 7 about their son. What happens to them?
Alex in Harlem.
My name is Stephanie of Harlem:
I think that this policy breeds disdain for authority on the whole, it is not effective and it should be outlawed. Crime will always be a part of this society, all forms of crimes committed by all types of people. However, if poor people are being harassed because of the color of their skin, what type of message is being sent and perpetuate. There are people from other aspect of this society that commits crime, and yet they are not harassed and continue to commit crimes that have detriment to millions of people. I understand that crime is high, but there should be a more complex approach to quell crime. Stop and frisk is a simplistic lazy way of attempting to deal with crime, period. No type of training with help this policy because Police Officers are humans and they come with built-in biases.
Maybe all whites who support the stops and frisks should stop being such two faces and admit also to this crime against certain citizens and call it what it is RACIAL PROFILING and propose a bill to your localTea party/Republican candidate that would amend that pesky constitution and it's 4th amendment to include the words... Every one who ain't white is not protected under this "inalienable" right
Hello John, I believe stop and frisk is a good thing. I am white and I have been stopped and frisked and I do not mind.If it does get guns off the street I am all for it. Too many illegal guns in this city. The officers were very polite and apologized and said have a good night. I have always said, if you are not doing anything wrong you will not have anything to worry about. Have a great nite,JohnLES
So now they can "courteously" trample on our rights? The police commissioner is out of control, Bloomberg is out of control and it's shocking that those effected haven't revolted against the policy. It's applied unequally, it's racist and shameful.
Jeff in the LES (a white guy)
A wise man once told me that "The truth only hurts when you don't use it." Well the truth is white kids in Princes Bay Staten Island are not carrying guns, the may have some pot or some pills or even some cocaine,but not guns. The guns are in the poor areas of the city where the crime is mostly minority on minority . Don't be mad at the cops for trying to make your neighborhood better , blame the young people bring guns and drugs into your neighborhoods. When they asked Willie Sutton why he robed banks he said" that's where the money"at" . Well if the cops are in your area then that's where the guns are at.
It not easy being a black man in the 21st century. Do certain areas get special treatment. Is new york becoming a police state this mayor is evil and a dangerous individual.
The NYPD is doing a great job, crime is high in those particular neighborhoods, unfortunetely minorities are the one commiting most of the crimes, New Yorkers should stop complaining about the stop and frisk and let the police to do their job.
I do not feel the problem is with the stop and frisk. I feel the problem is with the members of the police department that are conducting the stop and frisk. While we were so busy becoming politically correct by lowering the standards of the job and the difficulty of the test we inadvertently did not hire the best suited men and women for the job. I took the first nypd test offered to woman and scored a 98. I am not a good test taker. My boyfriend (who was puerto rican) who had been on the job for a while showed me his test and it was so difficult I would have failed. Cops., good cops, intelligent cops, develop a sixth sense after being on the job. They can smell trouble. I think if the nypd was comprised of more intelligent men and woman, they would handle their power in a different manner and understand that stop and frisk is suppose to diffuse problems on the street not create more. Bring back a test deserving of the nypd.
It is NOT about race... My sons have all been stopped and frisked...they are white and two of them are EAGLE SCOUTS..it is more about the ABUSE OF POWER... If the police learned how to behave, it would be more tolerable.
As the saying goes, 99% of cops make the rest look bad.
Hello John, While I don't think the stop, search, and frisk is right, if it is going to be done, it should be done in all neighbors to all people. Additionally, when and if a person is stopped, the officers must be be courteous and respectful. As a law-abidding African American male, I would be somewhat offended if I were singled out for stop, search, and frisk.
My name is jay and I am from Harlem. As a man of color who has been stopped numerous times. I am still not against stop and frisk if it has legitimately reduced violent crime. If it saves one life it's well worth it. That being said I would also ask viewers who see nothing wrong with the policy to ask themselves if they got stopped at a clothing store for shoplifting. Knowing they did nothing and embarrassed and humiliated amongst their peers and fellow shoppers how would they feel. I'm m sure outraged and wrongly singled out.
the nypd,,,is doing a great job with so many guns on the streets of ny,,especially in hi crime areas,,not to mention the threats on nyc,,and terrorism,,we are living in a new world,,its time to figth back on crime,,it has nothing to do with race,,,keep up the good work,,p.s..how fast we foget 9/11
Agree 100% with Joanne Naughton. [OUR FIRST WORD CALLER TONIGHT.] Stop and Frisk is really bad. I have seen video and observed so much violations on Black and Hispanic males, young and old and now even women for suspicion of nothing but color or assumption they might use marijuana. Illegal searches and seizures. Think its devastating. Think cops waste so much time stopping and frisking in these high crime neighborhoods when real crime is committed they cant prevent it or see it.
Aleah A nurse from Brooklyn
I was stop and frisk up on 167street they pulled over the black taxi I was in with guns drawn.I live in the area. I am a white male 40 in age. I just ate dinner and hailed a cab. The cab drove one block before it pulled over. They pulled me out of the cab. . They ask me if I had drugs or weapons on me I responded I said no I am a school teacher. They said we have bust teachers with drugs. The entire stop and frisk was over in three minutes. Three undercover officers. Jumped out of a black van when they pull my cab over.
The problem with the stop and frisk policy is that although some neighborhoods have higher rates of crime, the searches in these neighborhoods are not producing the expected results. Research shows that 9 out of 10 stops do not result in an arrest or ticket. The uproar over the stop and frisk policy does not start with this policy, It extends back to the disproportionate surveillance of poor communities and communities of color. Historically and currently these communities are more likely to receive heavier surveillance and more searches, this as expected can anger a community if they feel that they are being targeted and the searches are not producing the expected results. This history in combination with the unconstitutional manner in which most of the searches are conducted must be taken into account. The city should search areas more evenly or even find the root of the issue because the stop and frisk policy is not deterring individuals from criminal acts and illegal possession. Crime happens everywhere my people of all works alike whether the neighborhood is affluent or poor. People from poorer neighborhoods and neighborhoods of color do not necessarily commit crimes at a much higher rate than individuals from other neighborhoods it is that the authorities are around to see when the tree falls in the former neighborhoods and not the latter.

Apparently there's new fears -- may be weeks away from being another step closer to creating.
A nuclear weapon the Jerusalem Post is reporting today they're running government is about the fire center fugitives at a secret underground plant near one of the country's holiest cities.
It would be capable they say of enriching uranium at a higher grade than ever again that brings us closer to nuclear weapon ambassador Dennis Ross is here is a former special assistant to President Obama.
A former senior director of National Security Council just recently with the Obama administration until early December and this is your first television interview has -- -- BI DC.
It feels different.
I'm sure it's been a busy couple years with this administration and then we've we've talked about new fears about Iran.
Probably more times and then I can count but I have to ask you when you carry forum like this.
How close you think Iran is ten nuclear weapon.
Well they're not that close to nuclear weapons with the USA weeks away no they're not weeks away they have to enriched to much higher -- and they are they have to weaponized where that they have not.
So they're not right on the brink but obviously this is a program that one has to spend a great to have time.
Being vigilant about.
When the president entered into this administration 2008 he talked about engaging Iran it -- that diplomacy was at a route that he was willing to entertain.
We seen a height and rhetoric since and the world has obviously changed as well.
But there have been reports said the president will become more aggressive as we get closer to -- -- -- twelve election.
More aggressive in his approach -- -- do you see that happening.
I think.
-- -- says he's been pretty aggressive all along the fact is he made it clear from the beginning that he was determined to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
The focus on engagement was both genuine in terms of seeing if there was a diplomatic way to resolve this.
But it was also useful -- to mobilize the rest the world to be supportive what we're doing to put more pressure on -- The key -- always been -- -- -- concentrate pressure on Iran in a way that's gonna make a difference to Iran and then give them a way out if in fact they're prepared taken.
So bringing us -- had -- -- if you about what is this president look like when he's in his leadership Brawley say he's been tough on Iran.
-- what is being tough on Iran look like in this presidency vs the other presidents you've worked for like Reagan or Bill Clinton.
Well I think you have -- every president is different but the key here is that you're dealing with an Iranian program -- obviously poses a threat to everybody and including to our national vital interest.
President's been very clear and all the meetings we had that this is something we head to head off.
There were different ways to try to do it he was very focused on us he spent and has been enormous amount of his time.
Dealing with this issue is one of the most severe and and significant -- -- challenges that he faces.
He's brought this up with every -- that -- dealt with multiple times -- with the Russians with the Chinese.
And it's been an increasingly significant focal point of his presidency he's.
Consistent after the it's interesting going into an election year to take an examination of the policy the president who's in office and often times we dissect the policy from Washington coming down to -- all of us around the country but I'd like to ask you.
What should the American people demanded their next leader when it comes to Iran when it comes to middle east policy bush should we want from our next leader in office.
Well I think the first thing is.
Because Iran poses a threat to our vital -- security interest.
You wanna have confidence that in fact this is an issue that you know is going to be dealt with -- Iran -- nuclear weapons is something that transforms the world as we know it.
This is not something that we should be living -- containing this is something that it's important to ensure that has prevented so the first thing as.
Knowing that the president is going to -- deal with us in a way that ensures our interest -- -- Can you be specific about that -- -- dealing with that because we've obviously talked about military action as well.
And everyone's wondering if is that option on the table the president just said last week of course all options -- on the table but when it comes to Iran.
Does diplomacy work is diplomacy the most effective way or is forced the most effective way.
Nobody wants to use force if you don't have to use force you never know what the consequences are going to be well so that Iran -- nuclear weapons creates its own set of consequences so.
The question is how do you blend diplomacy and coercion in a way that produces the -- we want which is in Iran without nuclear weapons are we on the right path.
I believe we -- right path I think we still have time and space but this is an issue that you have to watch closely.
When -- return to Israel obviously are as you look at the issues of Middle East you have to look at Israel whenever key allies there the president said this recently in New York a fundraising event.
He's in quoted try not to pat myself too much on the back with this administration has and more in terms of the security.
The State of Israel than any previous administration's.
Since you've worked with -- presidents in the past wondering if you think that's true.
I can tell you as -- as a fact of life I was actually one of the original authors of something known as strategic cooperation with the Israelis and the Reagan administration.
There is no doubt that where we are today is something that we didn't fully even envisioned back in the early 1980s when we -- this.
So the truth is in terms of the character cooperation and Israelis to focus on security issues that the nature the he dialogue with them.
How we work for them across the board of intelligence and national security questions.
Really isn't precedent is built on a base it's built on -- foundation that was created over time but it's been taken to new heights.
-- wouldn't give credit just to this one administration for being the most let me make sure you quote him -- Has done the most in terms of security for the -- Israel you're saying it's really a combination of the administration's in the past as well.
One thing about Israel this has been a nonpartisan issue and -- should remain that way the fact is presidents of both parties have been committed to Israel's security.
This president has taken it to a new level and they've -- nature of the cooperation is unprecedented.
Just a quick final question you -- time magazine -- person of the year is the protestor.
You obviously were in office an incredible time in the Middle East where you have the Arab Spring and I'm wondering today because you just spoke about this in -- speech that you just recently gave about.
Our stake in the Middle East and trying to make sure that our interests -- achieved.
To this date.
Have we done a good enough job as a country capitalizing if you well on some that -- that we've seen in the Middle East and making sure that our interests are at the forefront in that region.
-- we're facing an enormous challenge anybody to who you would hear was says they know exactly how things are gonna unfold.
During a time of change when nobody predicted what was gonna happen -- you should be a little bit cautious about listening to what they have to say I would say this however.
This is a time of potential it's a time of risk and potential to challenge for us at this juncture is to figure out.
How do we position ourselves so that's kind of interest that we have the kind of values that we have are more likely to shape and to find the Middle East over time.
Nobody is going to be able to write this story in a way that reflects exactly what we want because the people of the region the ones writing it.
We have a big stake there and we have the ability to try to influence and we're gonna have to do that.
Sounds like -- -- next and you conversation for for the -- of accident with our to have you back with us.
On the show thank you for your service of this administration thank you NN for the for to have that conversation featured bastard thank you very much as Chris.

I'm surprised there not more talk on these forums on l-carnosine. I take ALCAR daily and love it but l-carnosine seems even better and more important to health.
What Is Aging?
The best place to start is at the beginning. What is aging? What makes us age? There are actually many factors that contribute to old age (free radical damage, hormonal changes, etc.), but of all of the things that make us old, two things stand out because until now, they have been so untouchable:
The Hayflick Limit
The glycation of proteins
The Hayflick Limit: Cell Life Span
The Hayflick Limit is named after the person who discovered it almost 40 years ago. A quick description is that all cells have only a limited capacity to continue to divide through the course of our lives.
Those numbers are different for each type of cell in our body, and by early adulthood, half of those divisions have been used up. By mid-life, maybe only 20-39% of those divisions are left. At that point, old age starts taking over then death.
This limited capacity of a cell to perpetuate itself is called the Hayflick Limit. In effect, the Hayflick Limit determines life span at the cellular level. With each division, a cell becomes less likely to divide again, until finally it stops dividing altogether and becomes what we call senescent.
Cell senescence is the final step before cell death. Senescent cells are still alive and metabolically active, but they're no longer capable of dividing. More importantly, though, senescent cells exhibit all of the characteristics that so bother us about old age, such as the difference between the supple skin of a child and the wrinkled skin of the elderly.
How do cells age?
As cells approach the Hayflick Limit, they divide less frequently and become aberrant. They take on wildly irregular forms. They no longer line up in parallel arrays; they assume a granular appearance, and deviate from their normal size and shape. This distorted appearance, called the senescent phenotype, is accompanied by a state of declining functionality that, UNTIL RECENTLY, was thought to be irreversible.
Astounding News: Reverse Aging
As it turns out, not only can we reverse the aging process at the cellular level now, and actually do it quite simply AND QUICKLY but we can also reverse aging at the system level and the organ level. And for that matter, we can reverse it in terms of how we look and feel and by that I mean our skin and hair and energy levels. And then, of course, we can even reverse aging in terms of lifespan.
What's the Secret?
The substance I'm talking about is L-carnosine. It's a naturally occurring combination of two amino acids, alanine and histadine, that was discovered in Russia in the early 1900s. Because much of the research was done in Russia, it has been largely unavailable in the United States until recently. Now, though, there have been a number of studies and experiments in other parts of the world verifying everything done in Russia and more.
Most notably, there were a series of astonishing experiments done in Australia that proved that carnosine rejuvenates cells as they approach senescence. Cells cultured with carnosine lived longer and retained their youthful appearance and growth patterns.
What's probably the most exciting result of the studies is that it was discovered that carnosine can actually REVERSE the signs of aging in senescent cells.
The Reversal of Aging
When the scientists transferred senescent cells to a culture medium containing carnosine, those cells exhibited a rejuvenated appearance and often an enhanced capacity to divide. When they transferred the cells back to a medium lacking carnosine, the signs of senescence quickly reappeared.
As they switched the cells back and forth several times between the culture media, they consistently observed that the carnosine medium restored the juvenile cell phenotype WITHIN DAYS, whereas the standard culture medium brought back the senescent cell phenotype.
Increase Cell Life
In addition, the carnosine medium increased cell life span -- even for old cells. When the researchers took old cells that had already gone through 55 divisions and transferred them to the carnosine medium, they survived up to 70 divisions, compared to only 57 to 61 divisions for the cells that were not transferred.
This represents an increase in the number of cell divisions for each cell of almost 25%.
But in terms of cell life, the increase was an astounding 300%. The cells transferred to the carnosine medium attained a life span of 413 days, compared to just 126 to 139 days for the control cells.
Increase Life Expectancy
This is mind-boggling. But so far, all we've talked about are cells. What does carnosine mean for actual life expectancy.
A new Russian study on mice has shown that mice given carnosine are twice as likely to reach their maximum lifespan as untreated mice. The carnosine also significantly reduced the outward signs of old age.
In effect, it made the mice look younger. 44% of the carnosine treated mice had young, glossy coats in old age as opposed to only 5% in the untreated mice. This represents 900% better odds of looking young in old age.
Feel Young Again
Another important difference between the treated and the untreated mice was in their behavior. Only 9% of the untreated mice behaved youthfully in old age, versus 58% of the carnosine treated mice. That's a 600% improvement in how they felt.
Strong Antioxidant
Quite simply, carnosine is one of the most powerful antioxidants known. It's a great heavy-metal scavenger. It's a powerful auto-regulator. And it stands alone when it comes to preventing and reversing protein glycation or cross-linking.
Carnosine has the remarkable ability to throttle down bodily processes that are in a state of excess, and to ramp up those that are under expressed.
For example, carnosine thins the blood of people whose blood tends to clot too much and increases the clotting tendency in those with a low clotting index.
Another example is that carnosine suppresses excess immune responses in those who have hyper immune systems, whereas it stimulates the immune response in those with weakened immune systems such as the aged.
And carnosine even seems to have the ability to normalize brain wave functions.
Protein Glycation: Sugar And Aging
Glycation is the uncontrolled reaction of sugars with proteins. It's kind of like what happens to sugars when you heat them and they caramelize. In effect, glycation is what happens when excess sugars caramelize the proteins in your body. It's a major factor in the aging process and it's particularly devastating to diabetics.
Your body is mostly made up of proteins. In fact, proteins are the substances most responsible for the daily functioning of your body. That's why anything that causes protein deterioration has such a dramatic impact on the body's function and appearance.
Thanks largely to the destructive effect of sugar and aldehydes, the protein in our bodies tends to undergo destructive changes as we age. This destruction is a prime factor, not only in the aging process itself, but also in the familiar signs of aging such as wrinkling skin, cataracts, and the destruction of our nervous system particularly our brains. Studies show that carnosine is effective against all these forms of protein modification.
Protein Modification for Longevity
As I said, aging is associated with damage to cellular proteins. But carnosine protects cellular proteins from damage in at least two ways.
First, it bonds with the carbonyl (or aldehyde) groups that if left alone will attack and bind with proteins.
Second, it works as an antioxidant to prevent the formation of oxidized sugars, also called Advanced Glycosylation End-products or AGEs for short. That's really the caramelization thing that I mentioned earlier. The bottom line here is that the less AGEs, in your body, the younger you are.
Both of these processes have important implications for anti-aging therapy. The key is that carnosine not only prevents damaging cross-links from forming, it eliminates cross-links that have previously formed in proteins, thus restoring normal membrane function.
Carnosine has been proven to reduce or completely prevent cell damage caused by beta amyloid, one of the prime protein risk factors for Alzheimers. The presence of beta amyloid leads to damage of the nerves and arteries of the brain. Carnosine blocks and inactivates beta amyloid. In effect, it protects neural tissues against dementia.* The key is that carnosine not only prevents damaging cross-links from forming in proteins, it eliminates cross-links that have previously formed in those proteins, thus restoring normal membrane function in cells. This is true not only in the brain, but in all the organs of our body our skin included. Keep in mind that the damage you see in the skin is not just a cosmetic question. That damage is absolutely an indicator of the kinds of damage happening to every other organ in your body including your eyes and your brain.
The Reversal of Age
Carnosine levels in our body directly correlate with both the length and quality of our lives. And since carnosine levels decline with age, supplementation with carnosine represents one of the most powerful things you can do to hold back the ravages of old age.
While it is true that many people who supplement with carnosine are going to notice everything from younger looking skin to more energy, the bottom line is that you really shouldn't look for any short term benefits from carnosine supplementation. If any short-term benefits are noticed, you should consider them an added bonus.
The reason you want to supplement with carnosine is for the long term, not for the short-term benefits that you may or may not notice. You supplement with carnosine to protect against the long-term ravages of aging.
Using Carnosine
Some experts recommend using only 50-100 mg of carnosine a day. Others say that if you don't take 1,000-1,500 mg a day it won't work because your body metabolizes the first 500 mg or so.
The key here is that all of these experts are ignoring the simple fact, that different people need different amounts. For example:
The older you get, the more you need.
If you eat a mostly vegetarian diet, you need more.
If you're diabetic, or just have trouble with blood sugar, you need more.
I think most people will do best on 500-750 mg a day.
If you're young and healthy and include meat in your diet, then 250 mg a day makes sense. As you get older, and if you're starting to show signs of aging or glycation (such as cataracts), then you'd want to think of increasing the dosage up to 1,000 mg a day maybe even as high as 1,500 mg a day.
In studies, carnosine has been proven safe in amounts as high as 70, 80, or even 100 grams a day, although a small number of people have noticed some minor muscle twitching at doses as small as 1,000 mg. The bottom line is use what you need, and you won't have any problems only benefits.
As I mentioned earlier, I don't believe in magic bullets. Everything I've ever learned says that you're only as strong as your weakest link. I still believe that improving your entire Baseline of Health® is the key to good health and long life.
But that said, I think that once you actually understand what carnosine does once you understand the role it plays in preventing and potentially reversing all of the signs of old age in the body (and we're talking about everything from wrinkled skin to cataracts to Alzheimer's) heck, once you understand the role it plays in extending life itself then you're left with the unmistakable conclusion that supplementing with carnosine may represent one of the single best things you can do to help "turn back your biological clock."
A Missing Link
As important as carnosine is, there is a "gap" in its usefulness. It's called lipofuscin.
Lipofuscin is the age pigment commonly found in aging brains and in other tissue such as the skin. By itself, it is not dangerous. It is merely a byproduct of harmful reactions that have already taken place. For example, one of the byproducts of free radical damage and protein/aldehyde damage (both conditions that carnosine addresses) is lipofuscin.
Lipofuscin deposits as seen in heart muscle
When you supplement with carnosine, however, something different happens. The carnosine quickly binds with the aldehydes, preventing them from damaging the proteins. The byproduct of this reaction is lipofuscin. So once again you have inactive lipofuscin compounds, but this time as the result of PREVENTING protein damage. In a sense, with carnosine you trade protein damage for lipofuscin.
As I said before, by itself, lipofuscin is not harmful. However, if enough of it accumulates over time (and this process is accelerated when you supplement with carnosine), it can interfere with proper cellular and organ functions. So the bottom line is that however it is produced (as a result of protein damage, or as the result of taking sacrificial carnosine to prevent protein damage), you want to get rid of it.
By any definition, DMAE is the perfect companion to carnosine in an anti-aging formulation. First, it reinforces carnosine's own anti-aging properties. Then, it provides a whole series of complementary benefits of its own.
What Is DMAE?
DMAE is short for (dimethylaminoethanol), a naturally-occurring nutrient that enhances acetylcholine (ACh) synthesis. Adequate levels of ACh are important for proper memory function. Normally found in small amounts in our brains, DMAE has been shown to remarkably enhance brain function when used as a supplement in clinical studies.
DMAE Reinforces Carnosine
One of the prime actions of DMAE is that it flushes accumulated lipofuscin from your body from the neurons in your brain, from your skin, and from all other organs. It also complements carnosine in that DMAE on its own has been shown to inhibit and reverse the Cross-Linking of proteins and extend lifespan.
Many people have heard of the anti-aging results that Romanian scientist, Ana Aslan, achieved using something called GH3, or procaine. What most people do not know is that GH3 breaks down in the body to form DMAE (after first metabolizing into DEAE) and PABA. In other words, DMAE is the key active component in Ana Aslan's anti-aging formula.
Numerous scientific studies now show that DMAE can help:
Increase Acetylcholine levels and RNA levels in the brain
Stimulate mental activity
Increase attention span
Increase alertness
Increase intelligence (especially in children)
Improve learning and memory
Increase energy levels
Provide a mild, safe tonic effect
Stimulate the central nervous system
Relieve anxiety
Elevate mood in general
Alleviate behavioral problems and hyperactivity associated with Attention Deficit Disorder
Increase motivation and reduce apathy in persons suffering from depression
Induce sounder sleep
Over time reduce the amount of sleep required by about 1 hour per night
Intensify dreams tremendously. (Even more so when you take it along with a large dose of phosphatidyl choline -- a key component of
Cause dreams to become more lucid
Increase willpower
Decrease the incidence and severity of hangovers in people who consume excessive amounts of Alcohol
DMAE Is Safe

VIENNA (Deutsche Presse-Agentur) -- Drug users around the globe are increasingly turning to medicines and to new substances that are not yet banned, the UN drug control board warned Tuesday, calling on governments to fight this trend.
Abuse of prescription drugs has increased especially in North and South America, in South and South-East Asia and in some European countries, the International Narcotics Control Board (INCB) said in its annual trend report.
The Vienna-based board is especially concerned about excessive prescription and use of stimulating medicines for treating attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
Tranquilizers are also identified as a problem. In some South American countries, more than 6 per cent of high school students take such substances.
In South Asia, people have turned to injecting prescription drugs, a trend that has helped to spread HIV and hepatitis.
INCB president Raymond Yans also warned of "legal highs" from the stream of psychoactive drugs that are being developed at a fast rate, outpacing government efforts to ban them.
"In Europe alone almost one new substance is appearing every week. Previously, between 2000 and 2005 there were an average of five notifications of new substances per year," Yans said.
The board said governments should set up early warning systems to monitor these new drugs, and they should work together more closely to prevent manufacturing and trade.
To fight prescription drug abuse, authorities should educate health workers and the public, and they should control the storage and sales of medicines more tightly, the INCB said.
The job of the UN body is to identify new drug trends and to monitor the implementation of international drug treaties.
The INCB report criticized recent successful popular votes in Colorado and Washington to legalize the recreational use of marijuana.
This development would violate international rules that allow only medical or scientific drug use, the INCB said.
It "would undermine the humanitarian aims of the drug control system, and constitute a threat to public health and well-being," it warned.

Meanwhile drones -- -- Google monitoring the government's censoring and here comes FaceBook to outdo the mall -- at this FaceBook is soon going to be able to recognize view.
It's readying new facial recognition technology depends -- -- in all photos information security expert -- -- that's.
It's scary is that so many are watching you even recognizing you know it's even scarier.
That there are now identifying -- so they add insult to injury we have FaceBook.
Pulling this on is it just part of this whole evolution of technology -- what's gone on.
-- -- to be here it is part of the evolution of technology but just because we can do something with technology.
Doesn't mean we always should.
What and whatever it is his Irish debt and how would they uses it to if I click on.
The computer or what are what is -- by the camera in my -- what are they doing what would life story about.
Right now in and I don't work for FaceBook to -- -- public information or they are dated just acquired a company.
Face dot com that not only -- got to fight you.
And all the pictures that have your -- yet you within the FaceBook -- all the 900 million plus users of FaceBook.
But also your facial expressions your body language.
What the you're happy -- I wanted to do -- daughter wanted to do.
Well it's part of this whole effort called big data they wanna they wanna have synergies.
Between all the different things about who you are and what you do and where you wire so when you're on FaceBook.
You are the so.
And the advertisers are buying these profiles.
Of who you are and what you like it where you go and what you do foreign -- that wet suits the next -- -- But what you seem to be saying is that they would now have the ability go way beyond that -- -- -- with this type of facial recognition software.
They would be able to track you down at a bar there would be able to track you down.
In my case at a bakery shop and be able Linda ten -- all this together and and then categorize that for potential advertisers that.
That's appetizers or maybe employers that want to know you know let's say Neil you're you're gunning for the new fox fitness network.
And you'll find out what I had all the details that have quite wary about that the -- go ahead.

Here's where I'm kind of stupid and a legal question is can they do this I mean obviously the company the technology exists.
It reminded the debate we used to have whether global or apple could use these satellite images of our homes that's ubiquitous now they -- know there are.
So I would imagine this will -- along -- Well they can't the question is -- people have informed consent looked FaceBook and and and Dropbox and Google and all these big data companies they're all gunning for synergy to mix all this data up.
In new and still an -- interest in ways the question is what's the role what is the pattern -- in the past of these companies.
In terms of of informing the users so that the users know what's going on so maybe someone today has a friend.
Taking their picture drinking -- you know a whole bunch of margaritas at a bar.
That ends up on FaceBook that's got facial recognition.
Now five years from now that person wants to go be delivery driver and that in an employer says oops I'm sorry we see lots of pictures that -- drinking five years -- -- So the question is do people have informed consent.
And I'm not really sure and that you know when when somebody points -- Smart -- that you.
And takes a picture -- you you may want to think twice and say hey are you gonna -- set up FaceBook.
I'm gonna step out of the shot or please -- that because I don't want to oppose that on FaceBook.
You need to be skeptical.
You can't just assume that just because something is innocent that it won't hurt you because it just might.
It's really creepy stuff -- -- thank you very very much.

Dark Knight shooting victims using 9/11 lawyers to sue cinema chain
- From: Daily Mail
- September 09, 2012
ATTORNEYS for the victims of the deadly Aurora, Colorado shootings say a potential lawsuit is underway against the Cinemark theatre chain.
The New York law firm that has represented victims of 9/11 and the Costa Concordia shipwreck say July's victims sustained some of the worst injuries they've seen and they will file suit if a settlement isn't reached.
''We have the experience and the contacts to hopefully end this litigation quickly,'' Attorney Marc Bern of Napoli, Bern, Ripka and Scholonik told CBS Denver this week.
''The victims here are some of the worst types of injuries that I have seen in over 37 years of practice,'' said Mr Bern.
''I believe that the primary responsibility at this point rests with Cinemark.''
Partnering with a local law firm, Mr Bern said they're currently investigating whether there were any past incidents at the theatre and whether they should have had more security on the night of the July 20 shooting.
Since that night, the theatre has remained closed with the city asking residents what should be done with the movie theatre where 12 people were shot to death and 58 others were wounded.
Suggestions from residents on the city's Facebook page range from tearing the Century 16 theatre down and replacing it with a memorial, to reopening the theatre, perhaps with a new name.
Former Ph.D. student James Holmes is charged with murder and attempted murder. He is being held without bail.
According to Cinemark, it is the third largest theatre circuit in the US with 300 theatres in 39 states.
In their last financial year ending December 31 of 2011 they ranked either no1 or no2 by box office revenues in 24 of their top 30 markets.

Listen live to Atlanta's breaking news, severe weather, & traffic online
Hi, (not you?) | Member Center | Sign Out
Posted: 9:31 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 30, 2008
By Jamie Dupree
Senate leaders have decided not to wait for the House to produce a Wall Street rescue plan, so they are forging ahead with their own, setting a vote for Wednesday night. The deal will include some controversial tax legislation as well, which could complicate matters.
So this could either be a stroke of genius, or a move that's only going to inflame the usual tensions between the House and Senate.
The Wednesday night vote will draw Senators Obama, McCain and Biden back for the evening, as the plan should be easily approved.
The larger question again will be, what will the House do, especially with the tax plans.
First, let's start with the biggest change to the bailout bill, which will increase FDIC government insurance limits for bank accounts from $100,000 to $250,000.
The argument in favor of that is that it gives investors more security and can convince people not to run to their bank - which might be in some financial trouble - and exacerbate that by pulling money out of the institution (a run on the bank.)
The change is backed by both Obama and McCain. Ironically, Republicans wanted the increase as part of the original bailout bill, but it was not included.
The other items being put in this Senate bailout bill are related to a never-ending tax fight between the House and Senate.
Each body has been trying to get the other to accept a bill that mainly deals with the Alternative Minimum Tax, along with a series of expiring tax breaks for both individuals and businesses - known in the legislative parlance here as "tax extenders."
The House has refused to go along with the bill unless it is fully paid for. Senators in both parties have rejected that, which has led to months of deadlock.
This is a bid by Senators to basically jam their version of the AMT/Extenders bill down the throat of the House.
Like I said, this may only complicate the larger issue of the bailout bill, or the House could just roll over like a tired, old dog and accept it.
As I write this late on Tuesday night, it's not clear if any other items have found their way into the Senate bill. Something tells me it might not exactly show up on line anytime soon either, and may be malleable right up until the time it is offered on the Senate floor.
Stay tuned.

Hi everyone. I see these guys on TV in the PTTS tournament catching all of these monster Tarpon. What I am wondering is what are they using for bait? They never seem to show that or what kind of outfits they are using so I was hoping someone here could provide some insight. I am heading out saturday for a trip and would love to hook a silver king of any size. Any help is greatly appreciated.
One of the common methods is to use live bait. Live blue crab is the stand out in this category, but menhaden, ladyfish and shrimp work well also. It really depends on where you are fishing and the type of fishing you are doing. The tarpon may be biting in any number of areas in and around Charlotte Harbor and the Boca Grande Pass, if that is indeed where you are talking about fishing. As mentioned, jigs are used too. Cotee jig heads with oil colored grubs, Cotee shad bodies, 4" shad tail jigs, Cotee button eye minnows and liv eye jigs with 4" shad tails are effective. Mirrolures in 7" diving variety and 65 and 52M are productive in shallower water. Another hitter is the reel tarpon jig. Use a 13/0 circle hook with this jig. Make sure all your hooks are super sharp. Couple any of the above with a test leader around 100 lbs. Normally, tarpon really get active around the moon cycle and with the moon being the way it is tonight, you should have some action. Also, June is good month. If you need any additional info let me know.

Great information Seth. I appreciate it very much. I am heading out Saturday to the Boca Grande Pass and Captiva Pass areas.
I see you reccomend jigs, how come here on this site http://www.bocagrandefishing.com/Rules.htm it says no jigs? Is this a law or just a "guideline"?
Thank you for your reply.
That recommendation is probably due to the number of boats that stack up in the past and the tendency for less experienced anglers to get snagged on the bottom. Also, I was not sure exactly where you were fishing, so I wanted to offer several options. In the general Charlotte Harbor area jigs are used. Personally, I like to get out and away from the chaos of the pass. If you have not fished there, you will see how busy it gets. Good luck. Let us know how things turn out for you.

Thanks again for the reply Seth.
I have lived here in Ft. Myers my whole life and have only been to Boca Grande Pass three times. Those times I was there, there was never a whole lot of boats in the pass like I have seen on TV. I would expect this time of year for it to be very busy. I do not plan on getting tangled up in the mess of boats if there are lots there.
The areas we are targeting this Saturday are going to be Boca Grande Pass and the beaches near the pass. If time permits we plan to run south to Captiva Pass and the the mangrove shorelines heading back to Pineland.
The "regulations" you linked are from the Boca Grande Guide Assoc. They are not FWC regulations, so yes you can use jigs. The style of jig that is banned is the "breakaway" style, designed to break away the lead once a fish is hooked. This is the popular method used in Louisiana, know as the Coon Pop jig. The Guide Assoc. is against the use of jigs as they claim the angler is actually snagging the fish. They tried unsuccessfully to get it banned from the pass. The PTTS anglers must be using jigs, because they fought the ban in court. The guides are using live bait. This debate of live bait vs. jigs causes quite the stir.
Well Saturday was a lot of fun. Got out just before 6 and went to catch some bait. After about 30 mins we were heading to Boca Grande. Once we got there there was very little boat traffic but the water was a little nasty for my taste and my little flats boat. Im not too keen of waves over the bow. So I turned around and headed south to Captiva Pass. We drifted the pass a few times with nothing. Headed outside and north. Caught a few mackeral up here. No sign of any tarpon or snook up on the beach.
After that we headed over towards the shacks and fished the flats for a little while. No reds, no trout, but a lady fish.
Next we decided to try Boca Grande again. The wind had died down a bit. It was still a little rough but not like early morning. There were a ton of boats in the pass so I decided to stay out away from the chaos. There were a few tarpon pods busting the surface here and there. What a site that is! No tarpon hook ups but did manage 2 gags and 2 red grouper.
All in all a good day!
So I have another question about tarpon. In the Caloosahatchee we have been jumping smaller tarpon for the past 3 months or so. Maybe one or two per week. There are still quite a few fish in this area and they are eating something on or near the surface. The luers we have been using seem to work okay but not great. I have tried to cast net in the area to see if they are eating small fish but never catch anything in the net. I think they are eating bugs or something on the surface but my brother thinks im crazy. We have tried almost everything in the tackle box. This is almost 100% freshwater too. Any ideas on what tackle for these little guys?

We have subcloned a gene of interest into a vector and followed the appropriate protocols to transform competent cells etc. we initially selected 26 colonies for mini prep and restriction digest analysis to identify positive colonies. This proved to be unsuccessful. We therefore went to our usual backup plan of colony lifts and probe hybridisation to identify positive colony. To our delight, we got a number of 'hotspots'. We selected the colonies for confirmation by RE digest. Unfortunately, they turned out to be negative and to be empty vector. I can't understand why our hybridisation screen gave positive signals but the colonies were infact empty vector. The colony lift did use a plate that was slightly old but I still can't see why this would result in a positive signal. Control probes etc worked well.. Any ideas? Will repeat but intrigued for an answer.

CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Blackhawks are longing for the United Center after two losses in Calgary tied the Western Conference quarterfinals at 2-2.
Chicago coach Joel Quenneville said after the Flames' 6-4 victory last night that he is looking forward to regaining the home-ice advantage.
Both teams took a day off today and will go back to practice Friday. The pivotal Game 5 is Saturday night at what should be a loud and rocking United Center.
It could come down to the Hawks' speed and skill against the experience and physical play of the Flames, with home ice obviously a major factor.

Luke 18:9-14 To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everybody else, Jesus told this parable: "Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee stood up and prayed about himself: 'God, I thank you that I am not like other men—robbers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.' "But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, 'God, have mercy on me, a sinner.'
"I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted."
