Ongoing lawsuit challenging San Diego's strict "good cause" requirements for obtaining a permit to carry a concealed weapon (CCW).

This case resulted in the Second Amendment being "incorporated" to limit state and local government infringment. The case received significant media coverage.
Guy Montag Doe v. San Francisco Housing Authority
Challenged San Francisco Housing Authority's ban on the possession of firearms by public housing residents. The strategic litigation was filed to secure a ruling that the Second Amendment limited state and local governmental infringement on the right to keep and bear arms. Rather than litigate, San Francisco repealed the gun-banning policies. The case has since been used as precedent in fighting bans on lawful gun possession in public housing across the country. The case received significant media coverage:

Hunt and Vroman v. Lockyer
Two elected District Attorneys and others sued to invalidate or clarify the state's so-called "assault weapon" law in this unprecedented prosecutor vs. prosecutor lawsuit. The case got the attention of police and prosecutors throughout the state, many of whom then recognized that the law's vague terms were impossible to understand. Many prosecutions were avoided, valuable discovery obtained, and many vague interpretations were clarified in favor of gun owners as a result of this case. The case was settled in light of imminent pending Second Amendment challenges to these laws. The issue received significant media attention.
Heller v. District of Columbia
Co-Authored amcius brief to the United States Supreme Court on behalf of 29 California elected District Attorneys, various law enforcement groups, and others. This case resulted in the Supreme Court's acknowledgment that the Second Amendment protects a fundamental individual right to self-defense. The case received significant media coverage.
Fiscal v. City and County of San Francisco
Brought suit to invalidate "Prop H," a ballot initiative that banned civilian residents of San Francisco from possessing handguns and also banned the sale, transfer, and/or distribution of all firearms and ammunition within the city. In June 2006, the Superior Court invalidated the ordinance on preemption grounds. The City appealed and lost in a published opinion which clarified California's preemption doctrine as applied to local firearms regulations and serves as current leading precedent on the subject. (158 Cal. App. 4th 895 (Ct. App. 2008).) The City paid back $380,000 to NRA in attorney's fees. This victory received significant media coverage and made international news. The Firm thanks all those who participated in and supported this victory.

In re Firearm Cases
Represented multiple firearm industry defendants in three coordinated actions brought by dozens of California cities and counties. Plaintiffs alleged the defendants market, distribute, and design handguns in an illegal way that facilitates their misuse by criminals. The trial court granted an omnibus motion for summary judgment against the cities, finding no connection between any practice of the defendants and the harm caused by illegal misuse of guns by criminals and that there was no violation of the Unfair Business Practices law nor public nuisance created. The Court of Appeal affirmed. (126 Cal. App. 4th 959 (Ct. App. 2005).) The case received significant media coverage.
Kasler v. Lungren
Represented a consortium of law professors, doctors, law enforcement officers, and Colt Manufacturing in a civil lawsuit against the State of California, challenging the constitutionality of the 1989 Roberti/Roos 'Assault Weapons' Control Act." The Third District Court of Appeal ruled that AWCA is unconstitutional. In its 51 page decision, the Court held that the list of firearms deemed "assault weapons" was vague and violated constitutional equal protection principals and that other provisions of the Act allowing guns to be added to the prohibited list violated constitutional due process and separation of powers requirements. The California Supreme Court heard the case and overturned the decision of the Court of Appeal. A renewed challenge is pending in light of subsequent Supreme Court Second Amendment decisions.
Huish v. Sacramento Unified School District
Steven Huish was a state and national sporting champion and scholarship winner in the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) Scholastic Clay Target Program. A student at El Camino High School, Huish was disciplined for wearing an NSSF t-shirt with a silhouette picture of a shotgun shooter on it to school. In violation of his First Amendment rights, he was threatened with expulsion if he wore the shirt. Faced with litigation and our demand that the dress code be revised along the lines of Newsom v. Albemarle County School Board, 354 F.3d 249 (4th Cir. 2003), the school board revised the dress code so that only depictions of "unlawful use of weapons" were prohibited. Huish was given 50 identical NSSF t-shirts to hand out to his friends. All wore the shirts to school regularly.
Golden v. Pacific Maritime Association
This landmark labor law class action claim alleged violations of civil rights and reverse discrimination among casual longshore workers at the Port of Los Angeles and Long Beach. Representing over 200 male casual workers, the case successfully challenged the proposed extension of a 16-year-old consent decree that required the International Longshore and Warehouse Union to increase its female membership at the expense of more qualified male casuals.
Miller v. Sacramento
Challenged Sacramento's ban on the sale of affordable self-defense handguns on preemption grounds. The ordinance was repealed while an appeal was pending.
CRPA v. West Hollywood
Challenged West Hollywood's ban on the sale of affordable self-defense handguns. In 1993, the Second District Court of Appeals ruled the California preemption statute did not bar these laws, but subsequent cases such as the Fiscal decision have essentially nullified this incorrect ruling. The ordinance was ultimately repealed at our insistence. (66 Cal. App. 4th 1302 (Ct. App. 1998).)
Doss v. Lungren
This lawsuit sought an injunction against District Attorneys in Los Angeles and Santa Clara and the California Department of Justice (DOJ) from prosecuting people who possessed SKS "Sporter" rifles. Between 1991 and 1997, thousands of SKS "Sporter" rifles were sold in California with the explicit approval of the DOJ, which had declared the rifles legal. As a result of this litigation and the political response, an unprecedented retroactive immunity bill (AB 48) and state funding to buy back these rifles was passed.
McGee v. City of Los Angeles
Suit challenged LAPD's policy of seizing guns without legal justification and refusing to return them although they had no legal right to keep them. LAPD revised its policy in response to the suit, but this continues to be a problem throughout California, particularly in urban areas.
B&B Sales v. City of Los Angeles
Challenge to a Los Angeles city ordinance prohibiting the "sale or transfer" of magazines that hold over ten rounds. The ordinance contained no exception for the motion picture industry and firearms museums, so the ordinance would have put the movie industry out of business in Los Angeles. Plaintiffs joined with the American Entertainment Armorer's Association, demanding an exemption to the ordinance. The ordinance was amended. The ordinance was then superceded by state law. The case made national news and was covered by Variety and the Hollywood Reporter.

Tudesko v. Glenn County Board of Education
Seventeen-year-old Gary Tudesko went duck hunting before school and, since he was aware of Willows High School's zero-tolerance policy regarding firearms on campus, parked his locked truck containing his unloaded hunting firearms off campus. Tudesko was expelled from school, despite the fact that he broke no laws. Assisted Tudesko on appeal to the County Board of Education. The expulsion was reversed, and Gary went back to school with his record expunged. The matter received significant media attention:

Cornerstone Elementary School Zero-Tolerance "Weapons" Policy Challenge
A fifth-grade promotion ceremony in Rancho Palos Verdes turned into a free-speech battleground when the school principal forced ten students to cut off little plastic firearms from the green toy soldiers the students had glued on their pro-armed-forces decorated mortarboard graduation caps. Because of the school's zero-tolerance policy for "weapons" on campus, the students were forced to comply with the order before they could participate in the graduation ceremony. At our insistence, the school revised its unconstitutional policy, and the principal was transferred.

Independent Commission Investigating the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD)
Worked as Staff Counsel under former Secretary of State Warren Christopher on the "Christopher Commission" that studied and proposed reforms of the LAPD in the aftermath of the videotaped beating by LAPD officers of motorist Rodney King in 1991. When four LAPD officers arrested for beating King were acquitted of most charges the following year, Los Angeles erupted in days of deadly rioting. In examining years of police records following the riots, the Christopher Commission found "a significant number of LAPD officers" routinely used excessive force and that "[t]he department not only failed to deal with the problem group of officers but it often rewarded them with positive evaluations and promotions." Numerous suggested reforms of LAPD were eventually implemented, including limiting the police chief to two five-year terms, having the chief appointed and supervised by a civilian commission, and adopting "community policing" practices.
Tort Cases
Patel v. Govin
Represented plaintiffs who sought compensation for the brutal murders of four of their relatives by defendants. The murders arose out of a dispute over an easement/right-of-way adjacent to plaintiffs' and defendants' separate neighboring motel properties. Obtained a $148 million dollar damage award. Los Angeles County Superior Court No. BC288577 (Cal. Super. Ct. 2006). The case received significant media attention.
United States v. Freedom Sport Fishing
The Freedom commercial sport fishing vessel took passenger Patrick McDermott on an overnight sport fishing trip off the Santa Barbara Islands. After the vessel returned, Mr. McDermott's family reported him missing. Some of his belongings were discovered at the dock. The international news media picked up on the case because McDermott was involved with actress and singer Olivia Newton-John, who issued a statement calling for assistance in locating her friend. There was rampant speculation about what had happened to McDermott. A federal grand jury was convened to investigate. Our investigation provided information to reporters and other investigators and identified people who had sighted McDermott at various fishing villages throughout Mexico after his disappearance. As a result, the grand jury investigation was called off and no civil or criminal charges were filed. The case received significant media attention:

Criminal Defense Cases
People v. Dominguez
Mr. Dominguez was stopped for a random inspection and searched at Los Angeles International Airport as he was driving into the airport to pick up a friend. Avid sport shooters, they intended to go directly from the airport to a local shooting range. Airport police found the guns and seized the truck, 16 firearms, and about a thousand rounds of ammunition. Days after the search, LAPD raided Dominguez' home in the early morning hours, forcing his wife and daughters into the street in their pajamas. Mr. Dominguez was charged with eight felony and three misdemeanor violations. The case settled with a misdemeanor charge and fine, with no firearm restrictions nor jail time. This story garnered significant local media attention:

People v. Solis
The LAPD Gun Unit conducted a sting at the Glendale Gun Show and arrested Mr. Solis for participating in an illegal gun transaction. Charges were dismissed by the Court because the LAPD misinterpreted the law. LAPD then pushed the Ventura District Attorney's office to file charges for illegally possessing an "unconventional pistol" which was in fact a tear gas dispensor. After three years of litigation, the charges were finally dismissed.
People v. Wright
Client was falsely accused by the LAPD Gun Unit of being a "black market gun dealer." He was allegedly enticed into selling a hunting rifle to a persistent undercover LAPD officer without conducting the sale through a licensed firearms dealer. Over 400 rare and collectible firearms were seized. Several of the firearms seized were alleged to be unregistered "assault weapons" or otherwise prohibited. Client faced a potential sentence of over 20 years in the state prison. Proved that he was not involved in illegal gun trafficking as the LAPD falsely claimed in a press conference and negotiated a probationary sentence on a misdemeanor offense.
People v. Corwin
Matthew Corwin was a decorated military police officer who was attending Los Angeles City College in 2007 while on injured reserve leave from the Army before being reactivated to serve in Iraq. An anonymous caller told police that numerous pictures of firearms, as well as videos of Mr. Corwin shooting, were posted on his Myspace page. Police mistakenly believed the depicted firearms were illegal "assault weapons" and claimed they thought Corwin might be a "threat" to the school. A search of Mr. Corwin's house turned up allegedly illegal firearms and other items. Twelve felony criminal charges were filed. Established that the firearms were not illegal. The District Attorney's Office then dismissed all of the criminal charges. This case received significant media coverage:

County of San Diego v. Kevin B.
Police were called to defendant's home after receiving reports of an argument between parents and their son. When police arrived, the son was no longer at the home. Police seized the son's firearms. Police never took the son into custody under Welfare & Institutions Code section 5150 (evaluation for mental instability), yet ordered the firearms forfeited under Welfare & Institutions Code section 8102. In a published opinion, City of San Diego v. Kevin B., 118 Cal. App. 4th 933 (Ct. App. 2004), the Appellate Court found that the government could not forfeit the firearms since they failed to comply with the Welfare and Institutions Code section 8102.
People v. John Doe
Represented a 78-year-old man who was amorously involved with an 82-year-old woman who began seeing another octogenarian man. The jealous defendant confronted the suitor, which lead to a fist-fight and, ultimately, a shot fired into the suitor's dwelling. The defendant was charged with pre-mediated attempted first-degree murder, assault, and illegally discharging a firearm. He faced a sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole. Negotiated a probationary sentence. This case made national headlines.
People v. Moiseyev
A gun dealer was charged under a Los Angeles municipal code section with illegally selling a magazine capable of holding over ten rounds. Case dismissed.
People v. Dingman
Mr. Dingman was prosecuted for possessing an SKS "Type 56" rifle that had been modified to accept a detachable magazine. Since 1991, the DOJ had represented that such modification was perfectly legal and that an SKS rifle so modified was not an "assault weapon." Unfortunately, the Santa Clara District Attorney nonetheless prosecuted Dingman, who was convicted. We came into the case on appeal and convinced the DOJ to file an unprecedented amicus brief on behalf of this criminal defendant, something DOJ had never done before. The California Supreme Court accepted the case, but when Attorney General Lockyer was elected, he withdrew the amicus brief for political reasons, and the Supreme Court dropped the case. Nonetheless, the firm successfully got Dingman's conviction reduced to a misdemeanor and his gun possession rights restored. (47 Cal. App. 4th 1068 (Ct. App. 1996), review dismissed and cause remanded, 100 Cal. Rptr. 2d 547 (Ct. App. 2000).)
People v. Bias
Bias was charged in Downey Municpal Court with a felony of possessing an SKS "assault weapon" and a second "assault weapon." The SKS was a "Sporter" model that had bean bought legally from a gun store in 1993. The SKS charge was dismissed, the other firearm was registered, and the felony charge was reduced to an infraction with a small fine.
People v. Ramsey
Ramsey was prosecuted for possessing an SKS "Type 56" rifle. When DOJ Firearms Program staff who had represented that this make and model firearm was not illegal were placed under subpoena for the preliminary hearing, the case was dismissed.
People v. Thompson
Firearm retailer was charged with a misdemeanor violation of a Pomona municipal ordinance for selling a Jennings J-22 handgun at the Great Western Gun Show at the Pomona Fairgrounds. Pomona failed to notify the gun show and dealers in the City that an ordinance was going to be enforced at the County-owned fairgrounds, over which the City had no jurisdiction. The case was dismissed, and the guns were returned. The case received significant media attention.
People v. Noroian
The LAPD falsely dubbed this client a "gun runner." He was charged with multiple felonies and faced a possible 32-year prison sentence. Successfully proved that the client was a federal licensed firearms dealer who was merely selling off his on-hand excess inventory after the recent closing of his retail firearm store. Negotiated a probationary sentence.
People v. Masters
Mr. Masters was dubbed the "Bernard Goetz of the West" by the national media when he shot two graffiti vandals and armed robbers trying to rob him, killing one. Protesters hung him in effigy outside the courthouse. Masters was only prosecuted for illegal possession of a firearm. Argued that the LAPD had unconstitutionally refused to give Mr. Masters a concealed weapon permit. Masters received a probationary sentence. The case received significant media attention.

GAO-08-680: Published: May 29, 2008. Publicly Released: May 29, 2008.
In 1996, the United States and more than 180 world leaders pledged to halve the number of undernourished people globally by 2015 from the 1990 level. The global number has not decreased significantly--remaining at about 850 million in 2001-2003--and the number in sub-Saharan Africa has increased from about 170 million in 1990-1992 to over 200 million in 2001-2003.

uninstalling usb drivers?
anyone know how i might uninstall the drivers that were installed with htc sync?
at first i tried to root on my good computer by installing htc sync to get the drivers. didn't work and i ended up rooting on a different computer using manually installed drivers.
that said, i'm all set up now, but i would like to access the phone on my good computer. i installed everything i had installed before, but the drivers are still there because when i plug in the phone, no bubble pops up asking me to install anything.
i know how to uninstall a usb device in the device manager (windows 7), but there's a ton of usb devices in there and i don't want to delete anything that isn't associated with teh phone.
thanks for the info!

New Pleasure Principles
We talked with University of Oxford neuroscientist Morten Kringelbach, author of the upcoming book The Pleasure Center, about his revolutionary research and our constant craving to feel good.
Can pleasure be used as medicine?
We can implant electrodes in the brain of a person in pain. When we stimulate the right spots, almost magically the pain goes away. The relief is very pleasurable. This can help people with depression too.
Can I get an electrode just for fun?
It wouldn't work. The brain balances itself, and while you can help restore that balance temporarily, you can't permanently swing it one way or the other. That's why many people, even those who aren't getting any treatment, will probably come out of depression within a year.
What do people find most pleasurable in their daily lives?
Sex. But No. 2 is being with friends. Most everything we find pleasurable, including eating and drinking, is so much better when doing it with someone else.
Can you help us cure addictions such as overeating?
It hasn't been tested yet, but deep-brain electrodes may help restore the balance of selective satiety mechanisms in the brain-the signals that tell us enough is enough. People who are obese may not have the selective satiation that thin people do.
Why do we sometimes feel guilty about indulging in pleasure?
Guilt is like a built-in stop valve. If we overindulge in one thing, such as sex, food, or drugs, it can become an addiction that we feed to the exclusion of the thing that gives us the most long-term pleasure-other people.
How can we live a more pleasurable life?
There's no magic here. Enjoy your family and friends, and work less. The simplest pleasures really are the best ones.
Thanks! You're on our list.
And about to get a whole lot healthier.
Some people like to travel by train because it combines the slowness of a car with the cramped public exposure of an airplane.

[author: Abizer Zanzi]
In Lawlor v. North American Corporation of Illinois, the Illinois Supreme Court formally recognized "intrusion upon seclusion," a form of invasion of privacy, as a valid claim under state common law. The court also ruled that an employer can be subject to liability under this theory for the actions of outside consultants acting as the employer's agent. The decision raises questions and concerns about employer liability arising from independent investigations of current and former employee conduct and communications, including communications that occur in traditional channels as well as through social media.
Kathleen Lawlor worked as a salesperson for North American, a company that sells customized corporate-branded promotional items, until she left the company to work for a competitor. Shortly after Lawlor resigned, North American arranged an investigation of whether Lawlor violated her noncompetition agreement through outside counsel. The outside attorney hired a private investigation firm, which in turn worked with another investigator. Using personal information provided by North American (including Lawlor's date of birth, residential address, home and cell phone numbers and social security number), the investigation yielded Lawlor's personal phone records. The company reviewed the phone records to determine whether Lawlor solicited its customers in violation of her agreement.
Lawlor sued North American claiming, among other things, intrusion upon seclusion, and alleging that one of the private investigators pretended to be her in order to obtain her private phone records from her telephone carriers. North American countersued, alleging that Lawlor breached her fiduciary duty of loyalty by divulging confidential corporate sales information and attempting to direct the company's customers to a competitor while she was still employed by the company.
The case proceeded to trial, and a jury found in favor of both Lawlor on her intrusion upon seclusion claim and North American on its breach of fiduciary duty counterclaim. The jury awarded Lawlor $65,000 in compensatory damages and $1.75 million in punitive damages. North American was awarded approximately $625,000 in damages. On appeal, the appellate court affirmed the judgment against North American and reversed the judgment against Lawlor on the company's counterclaim finding insufficient evidence for the verdict.
The Illinois Supreme Court granted review of the case. Although not raised by the parties, the court used the lawsuit as an opportunity to officially recognize intrusion upon seclusion as an actionable form of invasion of privacy under Illinois law. The cause of action had previously been accepted by all of the state's appellate districts and a majority of other states. Citing well-recognized legal treatises, the court explained that the tort of inclusion upon seclusion makes it unlawful to "intentionally intrude, physically or otherwise, upon the solitude or seclusion of another or his private affairs or concerns . . . if the intrusion would be highly offensive to a reasonable person." A defendant may be liable even if the information reviewed or obtained is not shared with others.
The main issue contested on appeal was whether the company could be liable for the actions of investigators hired by its outside counsel. North American argued that the investigators were independent subcontractors, two steps removed from North American's control, and that the company could not be responsible for their actions because it did not direct the manner in which the investigation was conducted and no knowledge of how Lawlor's phone records were obtained. The court disagreed and held that it was reasonable for the jury to find North American vicariously liable for the actions of its investigators because the company specifically requested their attorney to obtain the phone records and that North American could be deemed to have known that the records were not publicly available and would have to be obtained through improper means. Notably, however, the court dramatically reduced the punitive damages award against the company from $1.75 million to $65,000, an amount equal to Lawlor's compensatory damages, because there was no evidence that North American deliberately attempted to harm Lawlor.
Employers have many legitimate reasons for conducting independent investigations of their employees and former employees, particularly if there is reason to suspect an employee is soliciting customers, misappropriating trade secrets, or otherwise engaging in gross misconduct. The Illinois Supreme Court's recent decision in Lawlor exemplifies, however, why investigations should be restrained enough to respect the privacy interests of the subject individuals. For everyone's protection, employers should conduct investigations based on publicly available information or obtain the employee's written authorization to search private information.
Employers should also exercise caution when relying on non-employees to conduct investigations and sharing information with those non-employees. It is prudent to learn how an outside investigator intends to conduct an investigation to ensure that that the employer is comfortable with the approach. At a minimum, employers should set forth clear expectations of what is acceptable and unacceptable conduct in their retention agreements with the investigator. As the Lawlor decision demonstrates, employers may not be able to shield themselves by turning a blind eye to an investigator's methods, as a court may view the investigator as an agent of the employer.
The long-term impact of the Lawlor decision remains to be seen, but one can expect that lawyers representing employees will seek to expand the application of the intrusion upon seclusion theory as much as possible, including in the area of social media. As previously reported, Illinois recently made it unlawful for an employer to ask an employee to provide login information to their social media accounts or profiles. Courts reviewing claims for intrusion upon seclusion in the context of social media will likely consider expanding privacy rights in this realm.

Anormative Conceptions of Punishment and Humanitarian Ideals
Michael Tonry
University of Minnesota - Twin Cities - School of Law
September 21, 2013
Minnesota Legal Studies Research Paper No. 13-50
For the past quarter century, scholars have identified and attempted to explain large differences and changes over time in countries' penal policies as expressed in their imprisonment rates. Explanations differ, and imprisonment rates change, sometimes radically, but one thing has remained the same. The countries atop the rankings have consistently included the United States, South Africa, Russia, the Baltics, Ukraine, and Belarus. What distinguishes them, and more recently England and Wales, which has led the Western European league tables for two decades, is that they are countries in which punishment discourses, policies, and practices take little account of the interests of offenders. "There but for the grace of God…" empathy is largely absent. Mainstream retributive and consequentialist theories of punishment appear to have little influence. Policies and practices, and the implicit punishment theory might best be described as anormative.

Aliso Viejo's 'Green City Initiative' up for adoption Wednesday
Aliso Viejo's "Green City Initiative," a project aimed at promoting water and energy conservation and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, may be adopted Wednesday night when the City Council takes up the topic.
City staff wants the initiative to result in a number of things, including adhering to state requirements to reduce and plan for greenhouse gas emissions, encouraging conservation in the public, attracting businesses and residents interested in sustainability, bolstering city facilities with "green" technologies and equipment and creating programs like a community garden at the Aliso Viejo Ranch.
The initiative project began in 2010 and has been the subject of 12 public workshops, 23 drafts of the now 123-page report and more than $400,000 in expenses for consulting groups to measure how and where the city might improve its "green" efforts and how homeowners, developers and business owners could do the same.
The City Council's 624-page agenda has 19 other items up for consideration. Among them:
• Allocating more than $945,000 for eight city contracts and considering requesting proposals for janitorial services; information technology consulting, website maintenance and support services; and creation of a community survey.
• Two permit applications for modifications to existing cell towers at Sheep Hills Reservoir. City staff recommends continuing the hearing for one permit to provide additional time for analysis, while staff found that the other permit to modify a Verizon Wireless tower is "exempt from discretionary review under a recent addition to the zoning code to comply with federal law."
• A budget calendar for fiscal 2013-14, with an initial budget workshop scheduled for March 20, a draft budget presentation May 15 and the final budget presented to the council for adoption June 19.
Wednesday's public meeting begins at 7 p.m. at City Hall, 12 Journey. For more information, call 949-425-2500.

Islet Transplantation
The pancreas, an organ about the size of a hand, is located behind the lower part of the stomach. It makes insulin and enzymes that help the body digest and use food. Spread all over the pancreas are clusters of cells called the islets (eye-lets) of Langerhans. Islets are made up of two types of cells: alpha cells, which make glucagon, a hormone that raises the level of glucose (sugar) in the blood, and beta cells, which make insulin.

Insulin is a hormone that helps the body use glucose for energy. If your beta cells do not produce enough insulin, diabetes will develop. In type 1 diabetes the insulin shortage is caused by an autoimmune process in which the body's immune system destroys the beta cells.
Islet Transplantation
In an experimental procedure called islet transplantation, islets are taken from a donor pancreas and transferred into another person. Once implanted, the beta cells in these islets begin to make and release insulin. Researchers hope that islet transplantation will help people with type 1 diabetes live without daily injections of insulin.
Research Developments
Scientists have made many advances in islet transplantation in recent years. Since reporting their findings in the June 2000 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine, researchers at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada, have continued to use and refine a procedure called the Edmonton protocol to transplant pancreatic islets into selected patients with type 1 diabetes that is difficult to control. In 2005, the researchers published 5-year follow-up results for 65 patients who received transplants at their center and reported that about 10 percent of the patients remained free of the need for insulin injections at 5-year follow-up. Most recipients returned to using insulin because the transplanted islets lost their ability to function over time. The researchers noted, however, that many transplant recipients were able to reduce their need for insulin, achieve better glucose stability, and reduce problems with hypoglycemia, also called low blood sugar.
In its 2006 annual report, the Collaborative Islet Transplant Registry, which is funded by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, presented data from 23 islet transplant programs on 225 patients who received islet transplants between 1999 and 2005. According to the report, nearly two-thirds of recipients achieved "insulin independence"—defined as being able to stop insulin injections for at least 14 days—during the year following transplantation. However, other data from the report showed that insulin independence is difficult to maintain over time. Six months after their last infusion of islets, more than half of recipients were free of the need for insulin injections, but at 2-year follow-up, the proportion dropped to about one-third of recipients. The report described other benefits of islet transplantation, including reduced need for insulin among recipients who still needed insulin, improved blood glucose control, and greatly reduced risk of episodes of severe hypoglycemia.
In a 2006 report of the Immune Tolerance Network's international islet transplantation study, researchers emphasized the value of transplantation in reversing a condition known as hypoglycemia unawareness. People with hypoglycemia unawareness are vulnerable to dangerous episodes of severe hypoglycemia because they are not able to recognize that their blood glucose levels are too low. The study showed that even partial islet function after transplant can eliminate hypoglycemia unawareness.

Well, i was wrong, the plot is great and the characters very interesting and complicated, it makes you crave for the next chapter more than anything. It is full of unexpected turn of events and it kinda makes you bond with the characters, at least one of them. The artwork is realistic and very good, the plot as i said is well made, it is hard to notice any bad points. A genuine piece of work for those that adore ecchi genre, i highly recommend it, you won't get bored, that i promise you!

The recent publication of a Swedish food survey regarding a substance called acrylamide has caused a media sensation! According to the papers, any food you care to mention now has the possibility to promote cancer. Is this something we should really be worrying about or is it just another food scare story?
The scientists reported finding acrylamide in a variety of cooked foods, but especially potato chips and baked or fried carbohydrate-rich foods. They took the unusual step of releasing this information at a press conference even before it was submitted for publication in a scientific journal because they believe it is of great public health concern.
Acrylamide and polyacrylamide are used in industry for the production of plastics. It is thought that the main source of human exposure to acrylamide in the general population is through drinking water and smoking tobacco. Exposure through drinking water is small and the EU has determined maximum levels of 0.1 microgram per litre of water.
Recent analyses have indicated that the exposure to acrylamide is probably considerably higher than previously thought (for non-smokers) from consumption of certain foods that have been heated. Acrylamide is water-soluble and is quickly absorbed in the digestive tract.
Excretion via the urine is fast and half of the acrylamide is cleared from the body in a few hours. Its toxicological effects are well known: DNA damage and at high doses, neurological and reproductive effects have been observed. Prolonged exposure has induced tumours in rats, but cancer in man has not been convincingly shown. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified acrylamide as "probably carcinogenic to humans".
The amounts estimated to be in our foods are still more than 1,000 times less than those shown to induce mutations in mice. From a scientific point of view, the extrapolation from the extremely high doses used in mice to very low human exposure should not be made as results could be misleading at best and scare-mongering at worst.
Two relevant sentences from the Swedish scientists' own report are "Due to lack of data, it is not possible to issue...recommendations to consumers or to the food industry" and "Considering our present knowledge, the contribution from different food groups is extremely uncertain."
In fact, cancer rates have not increased since commercial baking and frying started, when adjusted for the large increase in life expectancy. This group has worked on this issue for years with almost no publicity, for example, acrylamide was found in tomatoes 10 years ago, but the media didn't pick up on the issue then.
The new report suggests that cooking, especially frying, actually causes acrylamide to form in foods but this must be confirmed before any worry is expended on this issue. You can avoid acrylamide by not eating or drinking anything. But the result of that is much more certain than a possible increase in cancer risk 30 years from now.

The Orange Order was today challenged to make a contribution to the peace process by stopping attempts to march through Catholic areas.
Northern Ireland Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness said that while the IRA, loyalists, political parties and governments have made significant steps forward over 15 years, the Orange Order has refused to budge.
Delivering a speech at the annual Wolfe Tone commemoration at Bodenstown, Co Kildare, the Sinn Fein MP said the leadership of the Orange Order can no longer abdicate its responsibilities. Mr McGuinness said: "Now is the time for the Orange Order to step forward. There are hundreds of Orange parades each year. Only a few cause controversy. It is these I want to focus on.
"The days of republicans stretching ourselves and our communities to maintain calm in the face of sectarian provocation cannot last forever. It is time for the issue of contested parades to be dealt with once and for all."
Stormont's Deputy First Minister called on the Orange Order to declare they will no longer seek to force parades through Catholic areas.
"Anything less from the Orange Order is an abdication of their responsibility and will have to be viewed as such by both governments – and in such a scenario that means a clear statement from both that nationalist communities will no longer be subjected to these sorts of triumphalist parades and measures taken to ensure that this happens," he added.
An Orange Order spokesman said the Deputy First Minister's comments were a disappointing attack on the Protestant community. "For years, Sinn Fein policy has been to make life as difficult as possible for parade organisers," the spokesman claimed.
"They have totally failed to understand that parading is an integral part of the Protestant culture.
"The Orange Order is working very hard to make its parades more family friendly and welcoming, particularly to tourists, and these remarks from the Deputy First Minister are extremely unhelpful."
Elsewhere, Mr McGuinness told Sinn Fein members that the Fianna Fáil and Green coalition has lost its moral authority to govern. He said the Government was sent a strong and clear message from the people in the recent elections that it needs to go, adding a new political alliance for change must be built to turn the country around.
