'G.I. Joe: Retaliation' Supposedly Pushed Back For More Than 3-D

It was definitely a bit of a shock when Paramount announced that "G.I. Joe: Retaliation" has been pushed back from a June 29 release date to March 29, 2013, but two new reports have come out making big claims that the release date changed for other reasons. According to Deadline, the movie's test screening supposedly [...]

Light-induced delivery of nitric oxide eradicates drug-resistant bacteria

ScienceDaily (May 30, 2012) ? Researchers at UC Santa Cruz have developed a novel approach for eradicating drug-resistant bacteria from wounds and skin infections, using light to trigger the controlled release of nitric oxide. The UCSC team developed a photoactive compound that releases nitric oxide when exposed to light, and loaded it into a porous, biocompatible material that could be applied as a sprayable powder.

In laboratory tests, the light-triggered nitric oxide treatment eradicated a highly drug-resistant strain of Acinetobacter baumannii, a type of gram-negative bacteria that causes hard-to-treat and potentially lethal infections throughout the world, including serious infections in soldiers wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan. The team led by Pradip Mascharak, professor of chemistry and biochemistry at UC Santa Cruz, and graduate student Brandon Heilman published their results in the Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS). The paper is currently available online and will be featured on the cover of a future print issue of the journal.

Nitric oxide has potent antimicrobial effects and is known to play a role in the immune system and promote wound healing. Gaseous nitric oxide has been used to treat infected wounds, but handling the toxic and reactive gas poses many challenges. So researchers have begun exploring a variety of other methods for delivering nitric oxide as an antibiotic treatment. Because nitric oxide attacks a large number of targets in microorganisms, including DNA, proteins, and lipids, many scientists expect bacteria will not easily develop resistance to it.

Mascharak's lab developed a photoactive manganese nitrosyl, a compound that rapidly releases nitric oxide when exposed to light. As a carrier for this compound, the researchers used a porous silicate material known as MCM-41, which traps the photoactive compound inside its pores. They also tested a related aluminosilicate material (Al-MCM-41), which holds the photoactive compound even more tightly. Tests showed that after the light-triggered release of nitric oxide, the byproduct of the reaction remains trapped inside the powdery, biocompatible material.

"It only delivers nitric oxide. The rest remains trapped in the material, which can be washed out of the wound," Mascharak said. "We think it could be used as a sprayable powder for treating battlefield wounds."

Acinetobacter baumannii has earned the nickname "Iraqibacter" because it has caused so many serious infections in soldiers wounded in Iraq. Some strains of the bacteria are resistant to virtually all antibiotics. Mascharak's lab tested their compound against a strain, isolated from a soldier injured in Afghanistan, that showed resistance to nine of 11 antibiotics tested.

To test the photoactive compound, the researchers developed a laboratory model of skin and soft-tissue infections. A standard antibacterial assay involves growing bacteria on the surface of an agar plate (a petri dish with a layer of firm, gelatin-like growth medium). In an infection, however, bacteria are not only on the surface but also deeper within the skin or soft tissues. "We realized that there wasn't a good model for in vitro testing of antibiotics against soft-tissue infections," Heilman said.

To more closely mimic the conditions in an infected wound, Heilman mixed bacteria into a warm solution of "soft brine agar" and poured that onto agar plates to solidify. The bacteria then grew throughout a 1.1-millimeter-thick layer of soft agar, allowing growth and colonization to occur in a manner similar to that seen in skin and soft-tissue infections.

Heilman then applied the aluminosilicate powder, with and without the photoactive manganese nitrosyl compound, to a defined area of the plates before shining visible light on them. The released nitric oxide effectively cleared the bacteria from the treated areas of the plates, showing that the nitric oxide easily penetrated through the agar layer. The amount of light used to activate the compound (100 milliWatts per square centimeter) is a typical light flux on a sunny day, Mascharak said.

The ability to control the release of nitric oxide using light is a significant advantage for clinical applications, he added. Tests showed that illumination of the material causes a steady release of nitric oxide, which can be stopped and started repeatedly by turning the light off and on. In the field, this could be accomplished by covering and uncovering the treated area.

"This is the first proof-of-concept to show that it works," Mascharak said. In the paper, the researchers concluded that "It is expected that application of these nitrosyl-containing porous materials to infected wounds followed by exposure to sunlight will bring about a rapid reduction of the pathogen load."

The researchers now hope to find collaborators who can help them with the next levels of testing needed to develop the clinical potential of their compound.

In addition to Heilman and Mascharak, the coauthors of the paper include Jessica St. John, a UCSC graduate student, and Scott Oliver, associate professor of chemistry and biochemistry, who helped with the characterization of the materials. This research was supported by the National Science Foundation and the California Institute for Quantitative Bioscience (QB3).

Video: Radioactive tuna found off California coast

>>> this next item made a lot of u.s. consumers sit up and take notice today. bluefin tuna caught off the california coast have been found to contain elevated levels of radioactive matter dating back to the japanese earthquake and tsunami that led toed nuclear accident at the fukushima power plant . our report tonight from nbc's miguel almaguer.

>> reporter: today in southern california , don inspects the catch of the day, and stressed his fish are safe to eat.

>> the word radiation creates fear in people.

>> reporter: the 15 bluefin tuna caught and tested off california 's coast last summer, showed low levels of radiation, but still ten times higher than normal. scientists say it's the first time a fast moving migrating fish has been shown to carry radio activity from japanese waters.

>> we almost didn't believe it, to tell you the truth.

>> reporter: dr. nicholas fisher, co authored the study.

>> every single fish was significantly contaminated with two radioisotopes of cesium. these are common waste products from nuclear accidents .

>> reporter: the bluefin tuna that spawn and feed near the fukushima daiichi nuclear power plant travelled just a few months later. today the the fda said they'll continue to monitor radiation levels in fish, and no public health concern has been detected.

>> i i don't think i'll change the way i eat, not at the moment.

>> it's made me alter just a little bit, not eat quite so much.

>> reporter: massive in size, up to ten feet and weighing more than 1,000 pounds. pacific bluefin tuna is a delicacy, often eaten as sushi around the world. the real test on how radiation affects migrating fish could lead to higher levels of pollution.

>> that is a distinct possibility.

>> reporter: japanese officials will conduct more testing in their waters. this as researchers here do the same many miguel almaguer nbc news, san pedro , california .

How to Get Back Your Email Subfolders on Samsung GALAXY Note on ICS

The aftermath after upgrading my Samsung GALAXY Note to Android 4.0.3 (Ice Cream Sandwich) is that I could not find the subfolders in my Exchange email account. It was frustrating to go through the options and no solution in site.

I thought I did a pretty good job to check through all settings. But I just could not find how I can call out the subfolders. BTW, subfolders means any folders under the Inbox.

If you have this problem after upgrading and your ICS version is Version 4.0.3, here is what you need to do.

• Copy the settings of your email server.
• Delete the email account.
• Setup the email account again with the settings that you copied previously.

That is it. The subfolders will appear. Hope it helps. This solution is after I read this.

Step by Step Guide to Correctly Fitting Venetian Blinds

Venetian blinds are a great way to cover the windows while still maintaining a beautiful look inside a home. Blinds that are custom made require exact measurements to ensure the perfect fit. From there, each piece needs to be attached to the window correctly so that the blinds can be moved up and down smoothly. Take your time and follow each step, one at a time.

Measuring the Window
Before ordering Venetian blinds, measure all of your windows that the blinds will cover. Start by measuring the width of the window. This will be the first number needed for ordering. From there, measure the length of the window. Some windows may look like they are the same size and it can be tempting to just assume they are both the same. In spite of how they look, each needs to be measured separately.

Each measurement should be written down, with a quick description of the window. Once the Venetian blinds are delivered, it will be easy to match up the blinds to the correct window. You can place each package in front of the corresponding window and get started.

Included Parts
Along with the Venetian blinds, the packaging will include several other pieces that need to be used for installation. You will need the brackets that hold the blinds onto the window, screws to attach the brackets and rawl plugs. When the screws are turned into the rawl plugs, the attachment to the window is more secure. Sometimes a person pulls a little too hard when trying to pull the blinds up. These two pieces make sure that everything is secure and nothing falls down.

Directions

Step One: Measure the window again, looking for the center. If you are going to fit the Venetian blinds onto the outside of the window, you need to find the center of the window to place one bracket. This bracket will go at the top of the window on the outside. If you plan to put the blinds inside the window, measure for the middle and place the bracket inside the window.

Step Two: If the window is smaller, it may only take two brackets to hold them in place. In this case, each bracket needs to be attached to the inside of the window, at the very top, one on each side. Place the bracket on the wall and mark the openings with a pencil.

Step Three: Take down the bracket and create holes for the rawl plugs at each of the pencil marks. Once this is done, place the bracket back up into the window and use the screws to secure it. While the work can be completed with a screwdriver, the brackets will be more secure if you use a drill to ensure each one is tight.

Step Four: Take one side of the blinds and place them into the corresponding bracket. In most cases, the blinds will not go in directly. One side will go in and then the other will snap into place. You will be able to hear when either side of the blinds attaches. Add the handle that allows you to tilt the blinds to allow some light into a room.

Don`t be intimidated by the look of Venetian blinds and assume that you will not be able to handle the installation on your own. Along with these directions, make sure to check the packaging that comes along with your blinds for differences that apply to your specific manufacturer.

However, regardless of the plan you with which you start, upgrading or downgrading your plan is often as simple as a quick phone call to customer service.

Insight: Iran's "Great Game" in Afghanistan

KABUL (Reuters) - With most foreign combat troops set to withdraw from Afghanistan by 2014, Iran is using the media in the war-ravaged nation to gain influence, a worrying issue for Washington.

Nearly a third of Afghanistan's media is backed by Iran, either financially or through providing content, Afghan officials and media groups say.

"What Iran wants, what they are striving at, is a power base in Afghanistan that can counter American influence," said a senior government official, who like others for this report, spoke to Reuters on condition of anonymity.

"They are without a doubt doing this through supporting and funding our media."

Iran spends $100 million a year in Afghanistan, much of it on the media, civil society projects and religious schools, says Daud Moradian, a former foreign ministry advisor who now teaches at the American University in Kabul.

"It is using Afghanistan to send a message to America that it can't be messed with. Afghanistan becomes a managed battlefield as a result."

Officials in Tehran could not be reached for comment despite repeated attempts and the Iranian embassy in Kabul said it was not prepared to talk about the issues raised in this report.

NEW STRATEGIC PACT

The landmark agreement NATO leaders sealed this week in Chicago, handing control of Afghanistan over to its own security forces by the middle of next year, puts the Western alliance on an "irreversible" path out of the unpopular, decade-long war.

Some security analysts say the withdrawal could lead to increasing instability and then to civil war -- and an opportunity for Iran and others to move into the resulting power vacuum.

When the Soviet Union withdrew from Afghanistan in 1989 following a decade-long occupation and the pro-Moscow government in Kabul collapsed, Afghanistan's neighbors moved in to arm and fund proxies to gain regional influence as the country plunged into civil war.

Although Kabul's ties with Tehran have seen sporadic improvement after the 2001 ouster of the Taliban, which had emerged triumphant after the civil war, the relationship is combustible.

The latest flashpoint is the recent signing of a long-term strategic agreement between the United States and Afghanistan. Though vague on details, the pact was meant to signal U.S. financial and security commitments to Afghanistan through 2024 - particularly for funding the large Afghan National Army.

Iran, whose frayed ties with the United States have worsened over its disputed nuclear programme, sees the pact as a threat. Iranian-backed media in Afghanistan responded by churning out reports critical of the agreement, and Tehran's ambassador to Afghanistan Abu Fazel Zohrawand threatened to expel Iran's one million Afghan refugees if the pact was not rejected.

IRAN'S TALKING HEADS

Afghanistan's intelligence department, the National Directorate of Security (NDS), had earlier gone public with Iran's alleged meddling in the media, saying that weekly newspaper Ensaf and TV channels Tamadon and Noor had received financial support from Iran.

A journalist who recently left Tamadon TV, owned by Afghanistan's most prominent Shi'ite cleric Ayatollah Mohammed Asef Mohseni, told Reuters that while the station never confirmed it was getting support from Tehran "it was obvious".

"My salary of $600 a month would fluctuate dramatically, as it was pegged to Iran's rial," said the 23-year-old, one of 200 employees at Tamadon, where he worked for four years before resigning over fears his employment would land him in trouble with Afghan authorities.

"Our office is full of posters calling for protests against the strategic pact with America. We'd invite pro-Iran analysts onto our shows saying Iran was the only one who could help Afghanistan with food and supplies," said the recent graduate, dressed in a tight black long-sleeved t-shirt and jeans.

Tamadon TV dismissed the claims of Iranian backing as an "insult". Editor in chief Mohammad Rahmati said the station was targeted "because we show core Islamic values; we don't show half-naked dancing women".

GREAT GAME

Afghanistan has been so much a focus of big power rivalry over the past 200 years -- a failed British occupation in the mid-19th century, the failed Russian one in the 1980s, for example -- it has its own historical sobriquet, "The Great Game".

As the United States prepares for its own dispirited withdrawal from Afghanistan, it is worried about Iran gaining a strategic advantage in Afghanistan, after seeing Tehran win influence in Iraq following the 2003 U.S. invasion.

More than half of the 171 TV, satellite channels and radio stations licensed to broadcast in Iraq today are funded by Iran, with others backed by the United States and Arabic Gulf countries, government communications officials say.

Iran's media strategy is but one strand in a multi-pronged projection of "soft power" into Afghanistan. The two countries share cultural, language and historical links -- for centuries they were part of the ancient Persian empire -- as well as a long and porous border.

Iran said in 2010 it has provided some $500 million in official assistance for reconstruction projects. Tehran has built religious schools for Afghan Shi'ites, who comprise a fifth of Sunni-majority Afghanistan's 30 million people.

Iran may even have MPs on its payroll. An Afghan official who declined to be identified told Reuters that up to 44 of the 249 members of the Afghan parliament are suspected of receiving money from Iran. Iran has not responded to those allegations, which have also been aired in the Afghan media.

EFFORTS INTENSIFIED

Iran's vehement opposition to the new strategic pact with the United States appears to have intensified efforts to influence public opinion about it.

Ensaf newspaper, one of the three media outlets the government has said receives funding from Iran, and whose parent company Avapress has offices in Tehran, has published six critical articles on the pact since it was signed by President Barack Obama on a whistle-stop visit to Kabul on May 2.

The three media outlets feature news reports that hold little interest for Afghans, but are important to Iran, using the same messages and wordage carried by Iranian state media.

The state of Israel, for instance, is called "the Zionist regime", a term Afghan officials generally avoid using.

"The fact is the stories broadcast have been made available by Iranian sources for propaganda purposes", Loftullah Mashal, a spokesman for the intelligence agency NDS, said last month. The NDS later retracted that claim.

Iran first started attempting to influence Afghan affairs through the media in 2006, said Abdul Mujeeb Khalvatgar, executive director of the Afghan media development group Nai.

"The pace has been quickening since 2011, which is when Iran began to actually inject its viewpoint into Afghan media," he said.

Last year, Afghans were shocked when Tamadon TV broadcast a live speech by Iran's parliament speaker Ali Larijani criticizing the presence of Western troops in Afghanistan.

Kabul is countering with its own pressure.

The Kabul-based reporter of Iran's semi-official Fars News Agency, Abdul Hakimi, was arrested two weeks ago on charges of spying, Afghan officials said. The NDS declined to comment.

The relatively large, often Western-backed press corps can also face intimidation, abduction or even death for reporting on issues such as corruption and other government failings. Afghanistan ranks seventh on the Committee to Protect Journalists' "Impunity Index", a listing of countries where journalists are killed regularly and governments fail to solve the crimes.

One man who says he is painfully familiar with Iranian interference is author and journalist Razaq Mamoon. He says a masked man who threw acid in his face in January of last year was working for Tehran. The Iranian embassy in Kabul has not commented on his allegations.

Though media reports at the time said his assailant staged the attack over a soured love affair, Mamoon says his 2010 book which accuses Iran of sabotage and espionage in Afghanistan, motivated Iranian intelligence agencies to attack him.

"Those individuals who planned the attack on me are still in power and their Iranian spy agencies are still very active in Kabul," Mamoon, who now lives in New Delhi out of fear for his safety, told Reuters in e-mailed comments.
