Forwards lead Crusaders to an easy victory

Super Rugby
All the stars aligned for the Crusaders tonight as they scored four tries to grab a rare bonus-point victory to overwhelm the Highlanders 34-8 in Christchurch.
While the Crusaders must wait to see if the Sharks can overtake their second-place on the Super Rugby log - they will need to thump the Stormers in Cape Town tomorrow morning - the Highlanders have been forced to prepare for a sudden-death play-off match next weekend.
Just where that game will be played will be decided by the Sharks-Stormers result. If the Crusaders finish second they will earn a bye before hosting a semifinal the following weekend.
Unlike last the previous round, when they used bullocking wing Nemani Nadolo to set-up their win over the Blues, the Crusaders used the might of their lineout drive to snare maximum competition points.
Three tries, two to flanker Matt Todd and the other to replacement hooker Corey Flynn, were recorded from the set-piece drives while Nadolo grabbed the other in open play.
Even if the Highlanders had been able to field talismanic fullback Ben Smith, who didn't play because of a nasty leg infection, it is unlikely he would have been able to reverse their fortunes.
Getting precious momentum proved a difficult task for the Highlanders much of the evening - one bright spot was the try to livewire wing Richard Buckman in the second spell - and South African referee Craig Joubert wasn't unafraid to cane them with penalties for ruck transgressions.
By the 45th minute, when Todd had snaffled his second try to push his side out to a 22-3 lead, it was obvious the Highlanders were in deep strife.
From there little went right and even though wing Patrick Osborne and centre Malakai Fekitoa tried to inject themselves into the attack the opportunities repeatedly dried-up.
So confident were the Crusaders that the game was safe that coach Todd Blackadder hooked No 8 Kieran Read, halfback Andy Ellis and his entire front row before the clock ticked past the 55-minute mark.
The Highlanders must have had the hopeless feeling of sliding down an icy scree slope as it became apparent their hopes of winning the New Zealand conference, and securing a home berth in the quarterfinals, quickly slipped away.
Dan Carter might have missed four kicks, including a sitter of a penalty, but that was where his charity largely stopped: his four penalties gave the home side a comfortable buffer and then they went hunting for tries.
Watching the Highlanders scrums and lineouts get pulled apart have caused the hardy types watching the game back in heartland bastions such as Poolburn and Orepuki squirm with horror.
The southern men's lineout struggles began with Liam Coltman (who was replaced by Ged Robinson at halftime) struggling to hit his jumpers as the Crusaders used Read and Sam Whitelock to compete on his throws and then the scrum began to crumble.
One area where the Highlanders showed some fire was in defence; for 39 minutes the visitors repelled wave after wave of attack and it wasn't until Todd plunged over for his first try, just before the halftime hooter, that their line was finally breached.
Captain Read's decision to order Slade to nudge the ball into touch, instead of pointing to the sticks following a kickable penalty, led to Todd going over.
The Crusaders led 17-3 at the break and never looked like succumbing.

The publication period from
Over the past months, a grim sense of foreboding has surfaced increasingly often in the media. Currently, the Apocalypse seems to be scheduled for 21.12.2012, the supposed expiration date for the franchise of the dollar-printing presses to the US Federal Reserve... I find it hard to overlook the fact that the Fed long deserves to be disbanded as punishment for gross violations of the US laws... End the Fed – in the interests of the US and the whole world...
Valentin KATASONOV | 02.10.2012
The list of the recipients to whom the Federal Reserve dishes out money and the amounts in question arouse a lot of curiosity among the US policy-makers and general population, but the information is being carefully kept under wraps. New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg submitted to the Federal Reserve an inquiry concerning the lucky banks but it was turned down... Bloomberg, US congressmen, and others should realize, based on the case, who is the boss in the US, and the favorites of destiny will continue to rip the benefits of QE3 incognito. Likely, those are a cohort of recognizable "too big to fall" Wall Street banks. Anyhow, the third round of the global-scale scam is set in motion...
Valentin KATASONOV | 25.09.2012
As US President Barack Obama announced his surprise «historic» bid to normalise relations with Cuba this week, the New York Times swooned with glowing news. 'US to Restore Full Relations With Cuba, Erasing a Last Trace of Cold War Hostility' was how its top headline put it. Welcoming the development, the American «newspaper of record» said Obama vowed to «cut loose the shackles of the past» and to «sweep aside one of the last vestiges of the Cold War». But, purple prose aside, the hard detail is that the ongoing illegal American embargo on Cuba will stay in place. Moreover, the move comes as Washington slaps on more sanctions against Russia and unleashes new sanctions on Venezuela...

Ambushes, firefights and IEDs hamper latest British offensive
Kim Sengupta reports from Operation Tor Shezada's front line
Monday 02 August 2010
"We are moving to the compound of Rahmad Yar," was the intercepted Taliban message.
The attack came 53 minutes later, long raking bursts of machine-gun fire along with intermittent Kalashnikov shots. Other targets around the area also began to be hit. The Taliban were not giving up their stronghold without a fight.
Resistance had initially been muted as British and Afghan forces headed south, with insurgent fighters focusing on US Marines coming in the opposite direction. But they had reorganised – with repeated radio calls for ammunition – and were now in a position to hit back.
A series of attempted ambushes continued for the rest of the afternoon as the troops patrolled along tracks, twisting past high-walled compounds; Taliban fighters moved across fields and Apache and Cobra helicopter gunships circled overhead.
Despite the British and Afghan troops enjoying an element of surprise, the insurgents have been able to lay down belts of IEDs, their weapon of choice which have taken a lethal toll in the campaign. These had to be dealt with repeatedly. At least two of the bombs, discovered and detonated, were around 30lbs, capable of causing devastating damage. There was one predictable element to most of the attacks: the insurgents' penchant of broadcasting their intentions. As a patrol made its way through irrigation canals and farmland, an Afghan soldier monitoring Taliban calls warned: "They are ready to engage, and we are the patrol they want to engage." Soon afterwards came the signs of an impending attack: local farmers hurrying their families into their compounds, moving livestock, followed by shots fired low across a field as we dived to the muddy ground.
Operation Tor Shezada is meant to seize control of Saidabad, one of the last towns in central Helmand under insurgent control. The areas were supposed to have been cleared in two high-profile operations – Panther's Claw and Moshtarak. The Marjah mission in February, highly publicised beforehand by Nato in an effort to persuade the Taliban to withdraw without a fight, had not gone totally to plan. The insurgents regrouped to carry out attacks on US forces and beheaded civic leaders. Before his sacking, General Stanley McChrystal described the situation as a "running sore".
Tor Shezada – "Black Prince" in the Dari language – is the beginning of a series of campaigns through which Nato commanders are seeking to inflict a military defeat on the insurgency. Meanwhile politicians in the West clamour for troops to be pulled out and the Afghan President Hamid Karzai edges towards a settlement with the insurgents which is bitterly opposed by the minority non-Pashtun communities in his country.
Jallaluddin Shah, an Afghan army captain, said: "We want to fight the Taliban. We need to beat them and then we can talk. If we do not do so, then we will pay the price in the future. They will keep their weapons and try to take over the country. The people in Kabul need to realise that. The government must know that they will have no authority unless they can protect these people."
While the political accusations and recriminations continue, British and Afghan troops were facing the violent reality on the ground. Progress was slow and dangerous and it is not known when Saidabad would be captured. Killings of civilians in Nato air strikes had caused widespread anger among Afghans and the policy now is to minimise both air and artillery attacks. Major Andy Garner, one of the officers in charge of the operation, called for strikes on two men spotted planting what appeared to be IEDs. However, the request was denied because it was felt at headquarters that the men must be given the benefit of the doubt: they may have been digging irrigation ditches.
Sitting on the roof of Rahmad Yar's compound watching a Javelin missile arc across the sky at a Taliban firing point, Kingsman Reese Curran, from the 1st Battalion the Duke of Lancaster's Regiment, showed how his life was saved by an inhaler during a previous firefight with the insurgents from Saidabad a few weeks ago.
The 24-year-old was on patrol in the Washaran area when he was shot, but the bullet was deflected by the inhaler. He was pulled clear, but in the ensuing firefight a comrade, Ponipate Tagitaginamothe, from Fiji, was killed as he went to Kingsman Curran's aide.
"My arm was injured, but I know I was extremely lucky, and we have to be lucky to be out here," said Kingsman Curran. "But Tagi died that day and that was very, very sad. He was a real mate and everyone misses him. All we can do is just carry on, but, I can tell you, this is a hard war."
Lieutenant Colonel Frazer Lawrence, commander of Combined Force, Nad-e-Ali, said: "So far it has gone well and we are making progress. We think their leadership may well have fled, but we shall see what happens in the next few days. We are dealing with insurgents who had caused a lot of damage and it is essential that we establish security in this area."
The Afghan civilians along the battle line were cautious on choosing sides, a hard-learned lesson from 30 years of strife. Ayub Jan, moving his tractor into the safety of a shed, shook his head. "This is our land, we need this land to feed our families. They are using this for fighting. We hope this will soon be over," he said.
"We all want to have roads, we want to have education for our children and this is something the Taliban cannot provide.
"But how long will the foreign troops stay, our Afghan troops stay? We are afraid of what will happen if they go away and the Taliban return."
His companion, Mohammed Ilyas, nodded. "We do not want foreign soldiers to stay in our country for long; we want the Afghan army to come and stay here," he said. "If they stay they will have the support of all the people. But we must wait and see what happens. We have to be careful."

BlueCross BlueShield gets final approval from HHS on exchange rates
- E.J. Boyer
- Staff Reporter- Nashville Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Google+
We're one day away from the opening of the public health care exchanges (which, by the way, will move ahead even if there is a government shutdown), and Tennessee insurers are beginning to release final rates approved by HHS.
BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee, the only insurer offering plans for sale in all eight regions of the state, is offering a total of 54 plans for sale on the marketplace.
In addition to Network S plans, BlueCross will sell new Network E plans on the exchange. Network E, created for coverage on the exchange, has the lowest rates, but it also has the most narrow network – in the Nashville region, MisisonPoint Health Partners is the exclusive provider partner on Network E.
For example, a silver-level plan with a $2,000 deductible will cost a 27-year old non-smoker $148.31 per month on Network E. The same plan will cost $174.48 on Network S (on and off the marketplace) and $195.30 in Network P, the broadest network, only available off of the marketplace.
Plan rates also vary by location. Using BlueCross BlueShield estimates as an example, a 27-year old non-smoker can buy bronze-level coverage for $133.88 per month in Davidson County. In Knox County, a 27-year old non-smoker can find coverage for $122.22 per month.
"We are focused on helping individuals access affordable, quality health insurance coverage through the marketplace," said Henry Smith, chief marketing officer for BlueCross, in a news release. "We've positioned our rates to be very competitive, and we feel that, between our affordable pricing and high-value physician networks, that we are the best choice for Tennesseans looking for insurance."
Final monthly payments will also depend on eligibility for government subsidies.

Two new European Commission reports look to strengthen defence against payment fraud, AML and terrorist financing
BRUSSELS – The European Commission has published two new reports: one on payment fraud and another on money laundering and terrorist financing.
The first report concerns the results of a study conducted last year and looks at steps taken to prevent non-cash payment fraud between 2004 and 2007. It highlights the importance of increased security for consumer confidence and suggests that upping commitment and information will produce better results than legislation. It is also hoped that the Single Euro Payments Area (Sepa) will foster improvements in security and trust.
The second report, Feedback on Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Cases and Typologies, is the result of work done by the European Union Financial Intelligence Unit. The unit was created in 2006 to foster closer links between the financial intelligence units (FIUs) of individual EU member states. The report analyses the existing international structures and contains more specific examples and suggestions for trends observed, closer links between the FIUs and law enforcement bodies and EU level co-ordination.

New 'Nymphomaniac' Clip Shows Charlotte Gainsbourg Going Celibate (Video)
After the NSFW clips we've come to associate with Lars von Trier's upcoming sex epic Nymphomaniac, the latest sneak peek unveiled Friday by production company Zentropa is decidedly family-friendly.
The short clip from Chapter 7 of the two-part feature shows Charlotte Gainsbourg, as the self-diagnosed nymphomaniac Joe of the film's title, stripping her apartment of anything that reminds her of her own sexuality. That includes painting over mirrors to block her own reflection.
Nymphomaniac features an all-star ensemble that includes Shia LaBeouf, Uma Thurman, Stellan Skarsgard, Jamie Bell and Christian Slater. The film will have its world premiere in Denmark on December 25 and go out via Magnolia Pictures in the U.S. -- first as a VOD premiere, then theatrically -- in March and April.
You can watch the latest Nymphomaniac clip below:

With the invitation and dis-invitation of Iran earlier this week, the Syrian peace talks scheduled to start in Switzerland today have had dramatic beginnings. But it is important not to understate the significance of the first genuine and sustained attempt by the US and Russia to bring an end to the civil war that is tearing the country apart. And, if this does not happen – as it almost certainly will not – then it is still important to take definite steps to de-escalate the conflict so it no longer inflicts such terrible losses on the Syrian people.
The fact that the meeting is taking place at all really does matter. For the first time, the government and at least a faction of the opposition will be brought together. This can only be an advance on the two sides trying to kill each other. Furthermore, the energy which Washington and Moscow have put into staging the talks is also a sign of a genuine desire to bring the conflict to an end.
This was not necessarily true 18 months ago, when the US and Europe saw such a meeting as a precursor to the inevitable political demise of President Bashar al-Assad and his government. Yet such a stance did not reflect the military balance of power on the ground, where government forces were never likely to suffer total defeat without a full-scale foreign intervention. When the US and Britain abandoned plans for a military strike in September, after poison gas was used on civilians in Damascus, that option disappeared. And in current circumstances, uncompromising demands for Assad's surrender are a recipe for continuing the war.
What practical measures can be taken to calm the violence, then? Local ceasefires do already exist and could be expanded, preferably with the UN playing as broad a role as possible through observers on the ground monitoring and mediating any suspension of violence. Otherwise, hatred and distrust between the two sides will ensure that ceasefires have a short life-span. UN observers are also needed to help arrange relief convoys to rebel-held enclaves, long-besieged by the government forces, where people are starving. The same applies to prisoner swaps.
It is unfortunate that Iran is absent from this week's so-called Geneva II talks, given that the Iranian and Saudi governments are crucial players on opposing sides of the conflict. To have one and not the other present undermines the credibility of negotiations. The willingness of Saudi Arabia and Qatar to see an end to the fighting without a victory of the rebels, of whom they are the main financial and military supporters, must be tested. Meanwhile, a reduction in violence might be achieved by pressuring Turkey to clamp down on jihadi fighters crossing its 500-mile-long border with Syria. Turkey denies it has done so, but all the evidence suggests that it has variously backed rebels of every stripe.
The grave challenge of setting up the Geneva II meeting underlines how difficult it will be to get a multitude of players with differing interests, inside and outside Syria, to agree to anything. But at least an increasing number of those involved see no end to the slaughter other than a negotiated peace. And it is always better to be talking than not, however far away a solution may seem to be.

John Tavares says that he'd love to be the Islanders' next captain

There are a handful of NHL teams who are without a captain, including the St. Louis Blues and New Jersey Devils. To some fans, that might be a cause for concern, while others wonder if the role is actually a little overrated.
Doug Weight's retirement leaves the New York Islanders without a symbolic leader, which could make sense if the team backs up the hopeful narrative that the franchise will finally turning things around in 2011-12. If the team wants to take the easy way out, they could always play pin the tail on the nearest available valuable veteran and just hand the "C" to Mark Streit. After all, the offensive defenseman was the team's biggest star before his season-ending injury last summer.
Then again, teams are just as likely to hand the captain's role to a young face of their franchise. If that trend continues with the Islanders, then they might turn to John Tavares – the first pick of the 2009 NHL Entry Draft and their most recognizable offensive talent.
Tavares expressed a keen interest in that role while making the rounds at today's Players Media Tour.
"I'd love to be (captain)," Tavares told NHL.com Thursday morning. "I definitely understand maybe I am still too young and just need to worry about the game, but if it was presented to me, it definitely would be something I would talk about and make sure it's the right decision for the group and for myself as well. I'd love to be a leader of this team.
"Mark Streit and Kyle are great guys and are going to be highly recommended, for sure. But I still feel I'll be a big leader no matter what, and I'll still have a lot of responsibility in a lot of ways. Whatever way it goes, it's going to be a guy that definitely deserves it and will do a great job at it. If I get the opportunity, it would be a huge honor."
Much like the Devils' situation with Zach Parise, the Islanders might be a bit apprehensive to hand Tavares the captaincy while he's in a contract year. Of course, he'll only be a restricted free agent in 2012 and the team should have more than enough cap space to keep him around for the foreseeable future, so that might be a moot point.
Whether he wears a "C" on his shoulder or not, Tavares will be a leader for the Islanders. Some think he might be among the NHL's scoring leaders as well, but we'll have to see if he takes the next step in his development (he went from 24 goals and 54 points in 2009-10 to 29 goals and 67 points in 10-11) in his third season.
For Islanders fans reading this post, would you rather see Tavares, Streit, Kyle Okposo or someone else become the captain next season? Let us know in the comments.

Any of those three would be good choices as would Frans Nielsen. Matt Moulson and Andrew MacDonald are very good players with great character as well. Frans will be a UFA if unsigned this coming July. I would want whichever player the Room chooses. The guy the Room respects the most should be captain. I'm guessing it will be somebody on my list and the others on my list would be good candidates for an A.

Agreed. I will add that i would rather it not be JT right now. The added responsibility might be a bit of a distraction for him. Let his focus be on scoring upwards of 40 goals this season, and to win some more games and get this team into the playoffs!

Bosse quietly takes reins at WEDO
A change occurred quietly at McKeesport radio station WEDO last winter.
Longtime general manager John James retired on Jan. 16.
"He really didn't want anyone knowing," new general manager Jeremy Bosse said Thursday of his predecessor's departure from the station.
"I've been working for the company for almost eight years as an audio engineer," Bosse said. "John had discussed with the owner (Judith Baron) that I would be a good candidate for his replacement."
James could not be reached for comment.
Bosse does not foresee a whole lot of change in the station's mix of religion, oldies, ethnic music, health talk and old-time radio.
That mix now includes a double shot of Sal Patitucci's Radio Italia, Monday through Saturday from 3-4 and 6-7 p.m.
Bosse is eyeing a return to McKeesport's annual International Village festival.
"I'm going to try to see if we can pull something together for this year," Bosse said. "I think it is important to be a part of that."
He does not foresee extending WEDO's dawn-to-dusk limit.
"It would be pretty difficult to obtain a license for a translator" — such as those for WKHB-620 on FM 94.1 and WKFB-770 on FM 97.5 — he said.
"The window of opportunity from the Federal Communications Commission has been narrowed down and there are no open applications or enrollment at this point," Bosse said.
WEDO was signed on in 1947 by Tri-City Broadcasting. During the 1960s, it was Pittsburgh's CBS Radio affiliate.
In 1972 WEDO was sold to Baron and her late husband Ralph, who did business as 810 Inc. In 1982 James became the station's general manager.
In 1995, Mrs. Baron put 810 Inc. into an irrevocable trust. In 2008 and 2009, WEDO was placed with a broker who tried to sell it for $1.75 million, but there were no takers.
"As of right now it is not publicly listed for sale," Bosse said.
Bosse, who turns 32 next week, grew up in Penn Hills. He took computer courses at Community College of Allegheny County but had a dream of being a disc jockey.
"I just happened to meet a person at another job that I was working at who had a relative who worked for WEDO," he said.
Bosse called James, who said nothing was open.
A year later, when a friend told him of an opening at WEDO, Bosse called James, who brought him in for an interview within a day or two. A day after that, July 15, 2005, Bosse was on the air.
In 2007 Bosse briefly operated the board on Sundays at WKHB and WKFB, Robert Stevens' North Versailles Township AM stations.
"He had offered me a bigger, fuller position, but at the time I decided to stay strictly working at WEDO," Bosse said.
Bosse, as Jeremy King, returns to a summer gig on WEDO Saturdays from 7-8 p.m. starting May 4, with big band, jazz and swing music from the 1930s to the present.

Report Roundup
STEM Education
"STEM Vital Signs"
A coalition of more than 110 corporate leaders has unveiled a set of state-by-state reports on STEM learning that it says is aimed at "correcting the record" in places where state data may give an inaccurate picture of student achievement, as well as "celebrating" the good news and pointing to the challenges ahead.
The study by the nonprofit Change the Equation provides state-by-state data related to education in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, including a comparison of math proficiency rates on 2009 state tests with data from the National Assessment of Educational Progress. It shows that many states are reporting far higher proficiency rates on their own tests than NAEP shows.

ACE inhibition promotes upregulation of endothelial progenitor cells and neoangiogenesis in cardiac pressure overload.
ABSTRACT Inhibition of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) prevents maladaptive cardiac remodelling. Endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) from the bone marrow contribute to endothelial repair and neovascularization, effects that are potentially important during cardiac remodelling. We hypothesized that ACE inhibitors may exert beneficial effects during pressure-induced myocardial hypertrophy by regulating progenitor cell function.
In C57/Bl6 mice, development of cardiac hypertrophy induced by transaortic constriction (TAC) for 5 weeks was reduced by ramipril, 5 mg/kg p.o., independent of blood pressure lowering. Ramipril prevented TAC-induced apoptosis of cardiac myocytes and endothelial cells. On day 1 after TAC, upregulation of Sca-1(pos)/KDR(pos) EPC was observed, which was further increased by ramipril. EPC were persistently elevated in the TAC mice receiving vehicle treatment but not in the ramipril group after 5 weeks. These effects were independent of hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha mRNA and protein expression. The ACE inhibitor but not TAC improved the migratory capacity of DiLDL(pos) EPC. Increased cardiac afterload induced upregulation of extracardiac neoangiogenesis. This effect was enhanced by ACE inhibition. Ramipril but not TAC markedly increased cardiac capillary density determined by the ratio of CD31(pos) cells to cardiomyocytes. Bone marrow transplantation studies revealed that TAC increased the percentage of bone marrow-derived GFP(pos) endothelial cells in the myocardium, and ramipril made this effect more pronounced.
ACE inhibition prevents pressure-induced maladaptive cardiac hypertrophy and increases intra- and extracardiac neoangiogenesis associated with the upregulation of EPC and amelioration of EPC migration. The regulation of progenitor cells from the bone marrow identifies a novel effect of ACE inhibitors during cardiac remodelling.

Article: Circulating Endothelial Progenitor Cells in Hypertensive Patients With Increased Arterial Stiffness[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The potential association between arterial stiffening and circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) in patients with essential hypertension was investigated. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) was used to evaluate arterial stiffness in 24 patients with essential hypertension and 19 healthy controls. Blood samples were taken and immunostained with antibodies against the cell surface markers CD34, CD45, and CD133. Using flow cytometry, EPCs as a population of CD45−/CD34+/CD133+ cells were measured. Hypertensive patients were not found to have higher levels of circulating CD45−/CD34+/CD133+ compared with the control group (0.0026%±0.0031% vs 0.0023%±0.0023%, respectively; P=.7). Correlation analysis revealed a strong association between the number of CD45−/CD34+/CD133+ cells and PWV (r=0.58, P<.001), indicating that hypertensive patients with increased PWV have a greater percentage of CD45−/CD34+/CD133+ cells. Data showed a correlation between the number of circulating CD45−/CD34+/CD133+ cells and arterial stiffness, suggesting that those cells might have a role in arterial remodeling.Journal of Clinical Hypertension 03/2014; · 2.36 Impact Factor
Article: The role of renin-angiotensin system in cellular differentiation: implications in pancreatic islet cell development and islet transplantation.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In addition to the well-characterized circulating renin-angiotensin system (RAS), local RAS has been identified recently in diverse tissues and organs. The presence of key components of the RAS in local tissues is important for our understanding of the patho-physiological mechanism(s) of several metabolic diseases, and may serve as a major therapeutic target for cardiometabolic syndromes. Locally generated and physiologically active RAS components have functions that are distinct from the classical vasoconstriction and fluid homeostasis actions of systemic RAS and cater specifically for local tissues. Local RAS can affect islet-cell function and structure in the adult pancreas as well as proliferation and differentiation of pancreatic stem/progenitor cells during development. Differentiation of stem/progenitor cells into insulin-expressing cells suitable for therapeutic transplantation offers a desperately needed new approach for replacement of glucose-responsive insulin producing cells in diabetic patients. Given that the generation of functional and transplantable islet cells has proven to be difficult, elucidation of RAS involvement in cellular regeneration and differentiation may propel pancreatic stem/progenitor cell development and thus β-cell regeneration forward. This review provides a critical appraisal of current research progress on the role of the RAS, including the newly characterized ACE2/Ang-(1-7)/Mas axis in the proliferation, differentiation, and maturation of pancreatic stem/progenitor cells. It is thus plausible to propose that the AT1 stimulation could be a repair mechanism involving the AT2R as well as the ACE2/Ang-(1-7)/Mas axis in directing β-cell development in diabetic patients using genetic and pharmaceutical manipulation of the RAS.Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology 08/2013; · 4.04 Impact Factor
Article: Molecular Signals Elicited by GPCR Agonists in Hypertension, Cardiovascular Remodeling: Are MMPs and ADAMs Elusive Therapeutic Targets?[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Hypertension, the condition characterized by sustained elevated blood pressure, affects over 25% of adults in developed countries and is accompanied by pathological cardiac remodeling (i.e., hypertrophy and fibrosis), thus being a major risk factor for cardiac failure. Life style, the environment, genetic factors, diabetes or obesity can all promote development and progression of hypertension associated cardiovascular disease in part because these conditions induce an excess production of pro-hypertensive, pro-hypertrophic and pro-fibrotic agonists. Here we review signaling pathways shared by major agonists including angiotensin II, catecholamines and endothelins. At the cellular level, these agonists initiate disease signaling by activating cognate G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Early events in agonist-signaling include Ca(2+) release from intracellular stores, Ca(2+) uptake from extracellular millieu into cells and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation by NADPH oxidase. ROS production in turn contributes to activation of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and 'a disintegrin and metalloproteinases' (ADAMs). Activated MMPs and ADAMs cleave growth factors, cytokines as well as cell surface receptors, including GPCRs. Excessive activation of MMPs and ADAMs links agonist receptors with transcription and translation of disease-associated genes, including those of MMPs and ADAMs. Recent research indicates a complex and dynamic regulation of MMPs and ADAMs activity and expression by agonists, which poses a significant challenge to strategies aiming at targeting specific MMPs or ADAMs in cardiovascular disease.Current Hypertension Reviews 08/2012; 8(3):159-180.

I-5 bridge over Columbia could last 'indefinitely,' inspector says
With diligent maintenance, an Oregon state inspector says, the existing Interstate 5 bridge between Washington and Oregon could last indefinitely.
The Associated Press
PORTLAND — Absent a big earthquake or a catastrophic encounter with a too-tall truck or ship, the Interstate 5 bridge that now spans the Columbia River could stand almost indefinitely, an Oregon state inspector says.
It may need to.
If plans to replace the bridge don't advance by mid-March, Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber has promised to pull the plug on it — after more than 10 years and $190 million spent.
The project is in trouble. The Washington Legislature decided last year not to participate, and that has raised concern in the Oregon Legislature, particularly in the Senate, about an Oregon-only project projected to cost $2.8 billion.
A new bridge project could take a decade to get going.
In the meantime, Oregon's state bridge engineer, Bruce Johnson, said the current bridge will need repairs and, in 15 to 20 years, a $75 million paint job.
"If you're willing to do those kinds of fixes and you have a robust inspection system like we have, you could almost say the bridge will last indefinitely," Johnson told The Oregonian.
The Interstate 5 bridge linking Portland and Vancouver, Wash., is actually two spans.
The first opened in 1917 and replaced a ferry. It now carries northbound traffic.
Its twin opened in 1958; it carries southbound traffic.
Marc Gross, a former Army engineer, heads the full-time bridge crew of 10. Supporting the crew costs more than $1 million a year, split equally between Oregon and Washington. Routine subcontracted repairs and maintenance are budgeted for an additional $1 million annually.
"Vibration is our biggest enemy," Gross said. He hires a full-time electrician to keep connections tight and maintain the system.
Friction is a close second.
Each year, the crew lubricates six miles of drawbridge cables by hand, applying about 3,200 pounds of grease. An additional 4,000 or 5,000 pounds of grease is applied to lubricate gears, bearings and other parts.
Then there are starlings, which flock in at night to roost or nest, with the expected consequences in droppings. Gross mounted orchard cannons along the bridge fired at irregular intervals, but suspended the firing this year.
"It's taken me probably nine years of doing it," he said. "I've depleted about 40,000 to 60,000 starlings down to under 1,000."
Johnson said that if the bridge were to see conditions that would qualify it as structurally deficient, repairs could be made. Among those are cracking of the steel floor system and corrosion of steel truss members and connections.
"The major issues that might make repair and rehabilitation of the bridges infeasible would be a major earthquake or a major impact from an overheight vehicle or a ship," Johnson said.
