You Can Actually Find Out About Home Based Businesses Online ...

Not every person is cut out to own their own home-based business, but that doesn?t suggest you should not give it a shot. This is especially true today, when at an insignificant cost you can put in place any of a number of home-based businesses with a computer. It just takes a low cost, high-speed Internet access, and the motivation to spend a bit of time doing the research. In contrast to a local brick-and-mortar business, which is costly to set up, and is confined to local customers, your computer business can be world wide. Anytime you are discovering a marketing or advertising method for the first time, it is almost always helpful to withhold judgment about it. We suppose many people are close-minded in matters like this because maybe they are arrogant or simply go through life like that. Most likely you are familiar with interactive agency or at least aspects of it. On the other hand, there are a lot of people who are led too easily and tend to believe without due diligence.

If you are impatient and fail to do your due diligence, then you are obviously taking certain risks with your time and possibly money. Maybe it is just survival of the fittest and those who succeed are the ones who use common sense in business along with other qualities. There are many marketers who deal with beginners and these businesses are honest and legitimate, but it is the small percentage who are not honest that cause perception problems. We really pretty much do not care who it is, if something is new to you then you have to preform some research to get another side of the story. Maybe you have already had experiences in which smart homework saved you some money. Everyone in the world with internet access is a potential consumer.

There are many opportunities you might be thinking about trying, if you are seriously interested in giving an online business a shot. You can actually begin on the Internet without having to be a computer geek, but knowing about working with a computer does help. Often, making money online has nothing to do with your technical skills, but with how much you know about the things you enjoy doing. One example of a web business for people who are very good at writing would be doing copy writing. As they say, content is king, so people with writing skills can certainly become freelance writers for those who aren?t good at writing. The secret, if you could provide a specific skill, like content in our writer?s example, is to track down those individuals who have a need for it and sell it to them. Create a collection of your work, do some marketing, and, hey presto! you have a business.

Online auction websites are another avenue from which many people are making big money. Maybe you have one or more products that you can actually market internet, or you could source some from wholesalers and then profit by adding a mark-up. The hard work of obtaining shoppers to see your offers is carried out by the online auction sites, like eBay. What?s required from you is to fix the price for your product, add it to the sales listings and wait for shoppers to order it. When your product is sold, you get sent the funds and then you have the product shipped to the customer.

Study improves understanding of surface molecules in controlling size of gold nanoparticles

Study improves understanding of surface molecules in controlling size of gold nanoparticles

Monday, June 18, 2012

North Carolina State University researchers have shown that the "bulkiness" of molecules commonly used in the creation of gold nanoparticles actually dictates the size of the nanoparticles ? with larger so-called ligands resulting in smaller nanoparticles. The research team also found that each type of ligand produces nanoparticles in a particular array of discrete sizes.

"This work advances our understanding of nanoparticle formation, and gives us a new tool for controlling the size and characteristics of gold nanoparticles," says Dr. Joseph Tracy, an assistant professor of materials science and engineering at NC State and co-author of a paper describing the research. Gold nanoparticles are used in industrial chemical processes, as well as medical and electronics applications.

When creating gold nanoparticles, scientists often use organic molecules called ligands to facilitate the process. The ligands effectively bring gold atoms together in a solution to create the nanoparticles. In the process, ligands essentially line up side by side and surround the nanoparticles in all three dimensions.

The researchers wanted to see whether the bulkiness of the ligands affected nanoparticle size, and opted to assess three types of thiol ligands ? a family of ligands commonly used to synthesize gold nanoparticles. Specifically, the molecules bound to the gold nanoparticles are linear hexanethiolate (-SC6), cyclohexanethiolate (-SCy) and 1-adamantanethiolate (-SAd). Each of these ligands has a bulkier configuration than the last.

For example, picture each ligand as a slice of pie, with a gold atom attached to the pointed end. -SC6 looks like a very narrow slice of pie. -SCy is slightly larger, and -SAd is the largest of the three ? with the "crust" end of the pie wedge far wider than the pointed end.

The researchers found that the bulkiness of the ligands determined the size of the nanoparticles. Because fewer -SAd and -SCy ligands can line up next to each other in three dimensions, fewer gold atoms are brought together in the core. Therefore, the nanoparticles are smaller. -SC6, the least bulky of the thiolates, can create the largest nanoparticles.

"While we've shown that this is an effective means of controlling size in gold nanoparticles, we think it may have implications for other materials as well," says Peter Krommenhoek, a Ph.D. student at NC State and lead author of the paper. "That's something we're exploring."

But the researchers made another interesting finding as well.

When particularly small nanoparticles form, they tend to form at very specific sizes, called discrete sizes. For instance, some types of nanoparticles may consist of 25 or 28 atoms ? but never 26 or 27 atoms.

In this study, the researchers found that the bulkiness of the ligands also changed the discrete sizes of the nanoparticles. "This is interesting, in part, because each discrete size represents a different number of gold atoms and ligands," Tracy says, "which could influence the nanoparticle's chemical behavior. That question has yet to be addressed."

###

The paper, "Bulky Adamantanethiolate and Cyclohexanethiolate Ligands Favor Smaller Gold Nanoparticles with Altered Discrete Sizes," is published online in ACS Nano.

Exhausted Suu Kyi falls ill during news conference

BERN, Switzerland (AP) ? A rock star welcome greeted Aung San Suu Kyi as she embarked on her first trip to Europe in 24 years. But after a whirlwind of standing ovations, speeches and receptions, it all became too much, and she fell ill Thursday during a news conference in Switzerland.

The 66-year-old Nobel Peace Prize laureate became sick shortly after saying how exhausted she was after her long trip from Asia to Europe, which brought her to Geneva late Wednesday night. It was not known how her apparent exhaustion would affect the rest of a tightly-packed schedule, which includes delivering her Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech in Oslo on Saturday, 21 years after winning the award.

Suu Kyi looked pale as she took questions Thursday evening alongside Foreign Minister Didier Burkhalter in the Swiss capital of Bern. After a few minutes, she pressed a finger to her lips and motioned to an aide who rushed to her side with a bag. She then bent over and threw up before being escorted out of the room by officials.

A spokesman for the Swiss Foreign Ministry said Suu Kyi recovered enough to briefly attend a reception with government officials later but then retired to her room.

"She's just a bit tired," spokesman Jean-Marc Crevoisier told The Associated Press. "I would be, too, after the long day she's had."

Earlier, the woman who has become an icon for the democracy movement had blamed age and lack of travel for her tiredness.

"Having stayed in one place for so long, I found the plane journey out to the West extremely exhausting and a little bit disorienting because I couldn't adjust to the new time as quickly as I might have 24 years ago," Suu Kyi told reporters. "It may, of course, have something to do with age. It may have to do with lack of practice."

The United Nations in Geneva was the first stop of her two-week European tour. Her appearance at a U.N. labor conference ? an unlikely venue for glitz and glamor ? had starry-eyed functionaries reaching for their camera phones to snap a picture as Suu Kyi smiled and shook hands with well-wishers.

"You fill this room with the light of your spirit," said Juan Somavia, the ILO's director general.

The evening before, as Suu Kyi arrived at her hotel shortly before midnight after a long flight, spontaneous applause erupted in the lobby as the staff recognized their special guest.

Suu Kyi, who endured 15 years of house arrest and once feared permanent exile if she ever left Myanmar, has become the country's most electric ambassador.

During this trip, Suu Kyi is expected to lay out how her country has changed and what still needs to be done before it can be called a proper democracy. She also had planned to address both houses of Britain's parliament, receive an honorary doctorate from Oxford, attend a U2 concert in Dublin, and deliver in Oslo the acceptance speech for the Nobel Peace Prize that she won in 1991.

At that time, Suu Kyi was detained by the military after leading a pro-democracy party to victory in Myanmar's 1990 election. The prize was picked up instead by her 18-year-old son Alexander.

"I've been so exhausted preparing for the trip that I've had no time to think about how I'm going to feel about Oslo, but perhaps this evening I'll sit back and think about it," Suu Kyi told reporters after her speech to the U.N. labor office.

The Geneva-based agency has long campaigned against forced labor in Myanmar, earning it a first stop on Suu Kyi's much-anticipated tour.

The leader of Myanmar's opposition National League for Democracy stepped carefully around sensitive subjects such as the ethnic unrest brewing in her country's western Rakhine province.

She said foreign investment must help ? not hurt ? Myanmar's goal of moving toward full democracy, referring to the exploitation of Myanmar's oil and gas riches, the subject of recent deals between the government and China. Western companies, too, have been eager to invest in the Southeast Asian nation as the sanctions it faced under military rule are gradually lifted.

"Any new investment that comes in because of the lifting or suspension of sanctions should add to the democratic process rather than subtract from it," Suu Kyi said.

Asked about the abuses committed by the junta during its decades-long rule, Suu Kyi struck a conciliatory note, citing fellow Nobel winner Archbishop Desmond Tutu.

"At this moment, what I want most of all is reconciliation and not retribution," she said.

She took the same high road when it came to her own suffering at the hands of the military, which barred her British husband from visiting her in Myanmar as he was dying from cancer.

"In some ways I don't think they really did anything to me," she said. "I do not think I have anything to forgive them for."

Disadvantages Of A 501C3 Nonprofit Organization | Family Lawyer ...

501C3 is the IRS designation for nonprofit organizations that happen to be excused with regard to having to pay corporate income tax. If an organization is discovered to be entitled to federal exemption of income tax, then various other city and state taxes may also be let off There are about 26 subdivisions for the several types of nonprofit organizations within this code, among which 501(c)3 consists of these types of tax exempted businesses. Companies related to a good cause, religion, education and learning, research, public safety testing etc belong to this specific code. In addition to the benefits of possessing 501(c)3 status, there are some negatives, as well.

Exemption of tax isn?t going to necessarily equate to low company expenditures, since starting a nonprofit organization itself involves development fees in addition to the total that needs to be given to an attorney. The actual development of this kind of an organization involves lots of time, funds and effort. The expense of employing a cpa or any other experts is important simply because organizations are generally legal bodies as per national, state and even local laws. In addition to all these costs, a considerable amount is usually needed for the implementation of Federal tax exemption.

Management failing to control the business is usually just one more downside. The majority of of the time, a nonprofit is usually governed by way of a group that are the members of a board of directors. This approach minimizes the personal control. Most of these directors will always be uncertain about the work they have to perform and count on other individuals of the team to complete their particular work. Furthermore, they have got disputes on several concerns, which ends up in a company that is reported to be owned or operated by lots of people but nobody claims to be responsible for it.

Virtually every nonprofit organization could possibly be excused from taxes but not from accountability. Despite the fact that a 501(c)3 organization is spared from having to pay taxes, it must file a tax return every year and send it directly to the state and IRS by the given given due date. Penalties are usually charged if there?s an inability to file Form 990. It may also call for getting a permit through the local government. Furthermore, it has to handle and preserve all business records connected with accounting, and immunity files must be presented to the community if required. The company?s budgets and income record need to be recorded to make sure that nobody is getting financial benefits from the organization. Therefore a great deal of paper work is required for maintaining a nonprofit, nevertheless these papers are important to maintain its operating and exempted position.

The bureaucratic system is another challenge for 501(c)3 organizations. Income must be returned to the business, but generally there must not be a huge amount leftover at the end of the fiscal year. The businesses are required to follow the guidelines of governmental agencies once they really are getting grants from the government. Nonprofit organizations have to abide by disclosure and transparency laws. Considering that a nonprofit organization works for the general public, it should continue to keep all of its documents wide open for public examination. Typically the public could possibly examine the financial records, federal filings, expenses and incomes of the employees. Such companies are generally totally reliant on the finances and efforts of donors mainly because they are not allowed to make a profit.

Nonprofit Legal Center has a how to start a nonprofit attorney that can help you with any questions or issues you could have. If you?re looking for a nonprofit organization attorney, then give them a call.

Unhappy public not sure who to blame for high gas

LOS ANGELES (AP) ? Families canceling vacations. Fishermen watching their profits burn up along with their boats' gasoline. Drivers buying only a few gallons of gas at a time because they can't afford to fill the tank.

From all corners of the country, Americans are irritated these days by record-high fuel prices that have soared above $4 a gallon in some states and could top $5 by summer. And the cost is becoming a political issue just as the presidential campaign kicks into high gear.

Some blame President Barack Obama. Some just cite "the government," while others believe it's the work of big, greedy oil companies. No matter who is responsible, almost everyone seems to want the government to do something, even if people aren't sure what, exactly, it should or can do.

A Gallup poll this month found 85 percent of U.S. adults believe the president and Congress "should take immediate actions to try to control the rising price of gas." An Associated Press-GfK poll last month showed 71 percent believe gas prices are a "very" or "extremely" important matter.

Chris Kaufman, who spends $120 a week on gas to travel the 60 miles between his two jobs, at the University of South Dakota in Sioux Falls and at a hotel in Vermillion, S.D., blames the price spike on threats from Iran to cut off oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz.

"I think the candidates running for president need to take a good hard look at that and determine what their foreign policy is going to be for countries that threaten to do that," he said. "It's going to affect every single citizen in the United States."

Still, he believes the president has little control over gas prices, adding that it is commodities traders who really dictate prices.

Trucker Cory Nissen of Ruther Glen, Va., agrees.

"The president is nothing but a fall guy," Nissen said as he took a break from his rig at a stop in Wilton, N.Y., earlier this week.

Nissen, who is paid by the mile, said he has seen his paychecks shrink because his employer has cut back delivery runs in reaction to the rising cost of fuel. "It needs to change and change quick," he said. "I got bills I got to pay, and half the time I can't pay them."

On the presidential campaign trail, Mitt Romney called on Obama last weekend to fire his energy secretary, interior secretary and Environmental Protection Agency administrator, dubbing them "the gas-hike trio." Fellow Republican Newt Gingrich promised to roll the price of gas back to $2.50 a gallon if he is elected.

Obama mocked Gingrich's promise, saying, "They start acting like they've got a magic wand and will give you cheap gas forever if you elect us."

Amy Lis of Buffalo, N.Y., and her boyfriend canceled their vacation to Florida this spring in favor of a three-hour drive to Cleveland for an overnight stay and a visit to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Even that trip will cost more than $100 in gas.

"It's more than our hotel," she said as she filled up her boyfriend's Ford Ranger pickup.

In truth, there is not a lot the president and Congress can do in the short term to push down gasoline prices. They are tied to oil prices, which have climbed in recent months, pushed by increased consumption from developing nations in Asia, Latin America and the Middle East and by concerns about supply disruptions in Iran and elsewhere.

Mike Siroub, who has operated a Union Oil station in the Los Angeles suburb of Arcadia for 25 years, said customers who used to fill up their tanks now put in just $10 or $20 at a time, telling him that that's all they can afford and that they are driving less or using more fuel-efficient cars.

He himself has joined them.

"I used to have a car with a big V-8 engine," he said. "I traded it for a four-cylinder Toyota Camry."

Among the things the government can do to bring prices down is reduce gasoline taxes or push to get more fuel-efficient cars on the road. The first new fuel standards since 1990 are just now going into effect, and the U.S. auto fleet is now more efficient than ever

People are still feeling the pain.

"When I go out to change the prices, they honk their horns and yell at me," said Siroub whose station's cheapest grade of gas, regular unleaded, was selling for $4.44 a gallon earlier this week. "The other day one person even gave me the finger."

In New York City, some cab drivers say the high cost of gas is prompting them to race through the streets of Manhattan even more recklessly than usual to pick up more passengers during a shift.

"When the gas is up, the money you make is going down," said Less Sylla, who paid $4.17 a gallon earlier this week. "You see a lot of drivers, they're driving, boom-boom-boom, because the lease is too high and it's working on their minds. So that's why they go like that, and it causes a lot of accidents."

Sylla, who said he will vote for Obama, blames greedy oil companies.

In Anchorage, Alaska, general contractor W.M. Lewis said he has had to raises his prices to keep his half-dozen trucks running. "It affects your bottom-line pricing," he said as he put $90.13 worth of gas, at $4.25 a gallon, into one of those trucks.

Milton Walker Jr., whose Louisiana tour company takes vacationers on boat rides through the alligator-infested swamps, said he raised prices last year because of the increased cost of fuel and will do it again if gas hits $5 a gallon. He blames the Federal Reserve, saying it hasn't kept inflation in check.

"I don't think it matters who's president," he said.

Shrimpers in Louisiana and lobstermen in Maine complain that high fuel prices are cutting into their profits. Craig Rogers, who burns through 50 gallons of gas a day tending his lobster traps along Maine's rocky coast, blames commodities traders, though he questions whether politicians are doing enough. He said politicians are too well off to really grasp what ordinary people are going through.

"They can say they feel for us, they can say they understand us, but when you have that kind of money, there's no way you can truly understand what we're feeling," he said.

In your resource box (also known as bio box), you include a brief detail about yourself and your business site together with its URL. It is strongly suggested that your resource box URL links to your mailing list\?s landing page where you can get your visitor\?s name and email address, which will in turn help you build your mailing list at no cost. If your articles are found worth sharing, eZine publishers will republish your articles together with your resource box for their readers and subscribers. The wonderful result: viral marketing without effort on your part!

With having your own business online, you can reach even the farthest person on the planet. Physical distance is not a factor in dealing with clients online. Your clientele will not be limited to your locality compared to setting up a traditional offline business. Rather, your business will be accessible to clients all over the world as long as they can be connected in the internet.One downside in setting up an online business is that people generally have a preference to look, feel, or test the product physically to check for their quality. They don\?t easily trust the product\?s description or pictures. People also have the liking to take strolls in malls. For them it is a leisurely activity for the whole family. Walking in malls is also a healthy form of exercise that people have come to enjoy over the years. This is an experience not felt when doing business online.

Soon the webmasters and internet marketers got to work. This saw the emergence of link forms and reciprocal linking sites. Internet marketers declared that the more links that appeared on your site, the higher it would rank in Google. Suddenly link pages from websites started to run into multiple pages as the race was on to exchange links with whoever would agree. Some sites started to have thousands of links point to their sites and began rising in the search engine rankings. Of course the game of cat and mouse with Google continued as the search engine giant once again changed its algorithms.

Articles should be written in such a way that online consumers will be drawn to your business. There are numerous guidelines for the creation of articles. This will be discussed by other topics or articles. It is also important to develop the trust of the customers. Customers almost always seek assurances that their product of choice is of excellent quality. Plainly describing the products can just lead to doubts to some people, thinking that these are just sales talk. You should come up with articles that can help build the trust of the people. It\?s up to your creativity to do that. Sometimes it takes more than words to build a trusting relationship. Through article marketing you should be able to reach out to customers. The principle is not to wait for customers to come to your business, but rather bringing your business to them. The articles that you have for your business should contain all the necessary information these online consumers need to know. The articles should also be convincing enough to lure the online consumers to your business. Do not heavily focus on luring online consumers though. They might end up disappointed with your business to the point that they give bad reviews towards you. Try to keep your articles. Article marketing involves the utilization of article directories where you deposit your articles. These article directories categorize your articles fittingly to their corresponding categories. Popular search engines also browse through article directories when an online user searches for relevant keywords. Your article should have the appropriate keyword for is to be located by the online user. And the better the article in terms of quality and popularity, the higher its priority and ranking in search engines and article directories. Articles are always vying for priority to get better exposure to the online community. It helps to know that your articles should be good enough to make online users read them and patronize them. Always remember that the very core of your online business is through article marketing. Keep your potential customers well informed by writing articles. Both the buyer and seller will benefit form these articles. The buyer gets all the needed information regarding the desired product and the seller is able to sell the product and gains money.

Zrii Home Based Business Review | The Board Magazine

Copyright ? 2012 Colon Bolden

Zrii is a fairly new company and is making headlines in the health and wellness industry due to the partnership with Chopra Center for Well being. Zrii is lead by a team of direct sales, network marketing and business professionals with a vast background of experience. The company is based out of Utah. Zrii is a nutritional drink formulated using 7 different herbs and fruits, contains no preservatives and is absolutely 100 percent natural. It is designed to increase your health and general well being.

Zrii is a company that uses the network marketing business model to sell a liquid nutritional beverage made from the greatest rejuvenator known in the plant kingdom by the name amalaki. The company is founded by a self made business tycoon, William F. Farley, who is said to be worth close to a billion dollars.

William Farley has a close relationship with the Chopra Center and is or once was the owner of successful companies such as Fruit of the Loom, BVD, Anaheim Citrus Products, and the list goes on. To add to his resume, Mr Farley is also a partner with the Chicago White Sox baseball organization. The Chopra Center for Wellbeing is a very credible endorser for such a drink as Zrii. The Chopra center is headed by no other than Dr. Deepak Chopra, one of the world?s greatest leaders in the field of mind-body medicine.

Zrii ? pronounced as Zree ? is a health drink that?s based on ancient Ayurveda medicine, which has a history of 5,000 years. Zrii juice is a health drink that claims to improve health and promote healthy living. There are seven key ingredients in Zrii, with the main ingredient being Amalaki ? a small fruit grown in India. The other six ingredients include: Haritaki, Tulsi, Turmeric, Ginger, Jujube, and Schizandra.

The juice itself is a nice red color and as you pour it into your glass you can see how hearty the drink is from all the herbs and seeds that stick to the side of the glass. Like with all health drinks, you always wonder how good does it taste. Especially since Zrii is an ayurvedic formulation that combines many herbs with the famous amalaki fruit. Having such a wide range of benefits is a marketers? dream, and, not surprisingly, it is marketed for a wide range of conditions such as obesity and its implications of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, cancer, and to promote longevity.

The Zrii process involves a world-class team of Western medical doctors, Ayurvedic physicians and chemistry doctors, along with nutrition PhDs that decided to create a formulation unlike any other product on the market. A combination of select herbs and fruits that completely unlocks the potency of amalaki. I found this concept to be incredibly revolutionary, and so much more unique than what other network marketing companies in the nutritional industry are doing.

Liquid Nutritional products are the wave of the future. Our bodies accept liquids much quicker than other forms of nutrients. And there are no toxic glues to break down like there are in tablets. Also kids and elderly alike often prefer liquids to having to swallow a pill. So maybe your friend has told you about the wonderful product of Zrii.

Zrii is an outstanding healthy nutritional drink opportunity to promote if you?re into the health and wellness industry. If you are looking for a business that?s going to teach you how to market like the gurus and get paid learning at the same time. Check out Colon Bolden?s 5 dollar money bomb opportunity that?s supplying the straight-up training information.

$4.2 million grant helps plan, launch first Alzheimer's prevention trials

Public release date: 20-Mar-2012

Washington University School of Medicine

Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis has received nearly $4.2 million from the Alzheimer's Association to accelerate the launch of the first clinical trials to prevent the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease.

The award is the largest research grant in the history of the 32-year-old association.

Randall Bateman, MD, principal investigator of the grant and director of the Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer's Network (DIAN) Therapeutic Trials Unit (TTU) at Washington University, will lead the trials, which will determine if the disease can be halted or delayed before problems in memory and other brain functions become apparent.

The research will be conducted through the Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer's Network, an international research partnership focused on understanding inherited forms of Alzheimer's. DIAN is headed by John C. Morris, MD, Harvey A. and Dorismae Hacker Friedman Professor of Neurology at Washington University School of Medicine. Bateman and Morris treat patients at Barnes-Jewish Hospital.

"We're grateful for the Alzheimer's Association's support for these trials and for the generous support it has given us throughout the long journey that has led to them," Morris says. "We've been working for years to find a way to treat Alzheimer's disease before patients develop dementia, and it's very exciting to be making plans to start the first of such trials later this year."

"This project has the potential to dramatically accelerate the pace of treatment and prevention strategies for Alzheimer's," said William Thies, PhD, the Alzheimer's Association's chief medical and scientific officer. "We are convinced that helping to rapidly launch the DIAN-Therapeutic Trials Unit will accelerate discovery of therapies that will change the course of the Alzheimer's disease process and delay or stop the disease."

Families enrolled in the DIAN study have inherited forms of Alzheimer's that cause dementia at a much earlier age than the more common sporadic forms of the disease. Scientists have identified mutations in three genes that cause inherited Alzheimer's. An individual who inherits one of these mutations typically develops symptoms of the disease at approximately the same young age as his or her parents.

Last July, DIAN researchers announced at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference that they could detect biological markers of presymptomatic disease in DIAN participants up to 20 years before the patients were expected to develop memory problems.

"We want to prevent damage and loss of brain cells by intervening early in the disease process even before outward symptoms are evident, because by then it may be too late," says Bateman, MD, the Charles F. and Joanne Knight Distinguished Professor in Neurology and director of the DIAN Therapeutic Trials Unit, which will conduct the new trial.

With the advice of a newly formed consortium of 10 pharmaceutical companies, DIAN researchers under Bateman's leadership will select what they believe to be promising pharmaceuticals for the trials. They plan to give the drugs to family members who have an early-onset Alzheimer's gene and biological markers of disease but do not yet have symptoms of dementia. The goal will be to see if treatment can reduce the biological markers, potentially delaying or preventing the onset of symptoms.

"Experimental treatments have risks, so to treat patients before symptoms occur, we must be sure that we have a firm grasp on who will develop Alzheimer's dementia," says Morris, who also is director of the Charles F. and Joanne Knight Alzheimer's Disease Research Center at Washington University. "If we can find a way to delay or prevent dementia in DIAN participants, that would be a tremendous success story and very helpful in our efforts to treat the much more common sporadic forms of the illness."

The pharmaceutical consortium advising DIAN researchers is comprised of the Janssen Alzheimer Immunotherapy Pfizer Alliance, Biogen Idec, Elan, Eli Lilly, Genentech, Hoffman La-Roche, Mithridion, Novartis, Pfizer and Sanofi-Aventis.

"The DIAN Pharma Consortium is an indicator of how important the DIAN trials are," Bateman says. "It's amazing that 10 pharmaceutical companies that are normally competitors have agreed to work together to help provide advice about DIAN trials design."

The DIAN Therapeutic Trials Unit has launched the DIAN expanded registry for interested patients, family members, doctors and researchers. For more information or to register for potential participation in the trials, go to http://www.DIANXR.org.

In addition to Washington University, the other institutions involved in DIAN are Harvard University, Massachusetts General Hospital, Brown University, Columbia University, Indiana University, the University of California, Los Angeles, the University College of London's Institute of Neurology at Queen's Square and a consortium of the universities of Brisbane, Perth and Sydney in Australia.

The Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer's Network is supported by funding from the National Institute on Aging. The Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer's Network Therapeutic Trials Unit is supported by funding from an anonymous foundation, the DIAN Pharma Consortium and the Alzheimer's Association.

Washington University School of Medicine's 2,100 employed and volunteer faculty physicians also are the medical staff of Barnes-Jewish and St. Louis Children's hospitals. The School of Medicine is one of the leading medical research, teaching and patient care institutions in the nation, currently ranked sixth in the nation by U.S. News & World Report. Through its affiliations with Barnes-Jewish and St. Louis Children's hospitals, the School of Medicine is linked to BJC HealthCare.

Indonesia police shoot dead suspected militants in Bali: media

JAKARTA?? Indonesian police shot dead five suspected militants in Bali overnight who had identified and surveyed targets they were planning to attack, the national counter terrorism agency said on Monday, and were linked to the banned Jemaah Islamiah group.

"They have several targets in several locations in Bali. They have surveyed the places," Ansyaad Mbai, head of national counter-terrorism agency, told Reuters by phone.

Mbai described the sites as "typical terrorist targets" but declined to give further details. The group to which the suspects belonged was linked to one that had conducted bank robberies in Medan and paramilitary training in Aceh and in Solo, central Java, he said.

In 2002, night-club bombings in Bali blamed on the al Qaeda-linked Jemaah Islamiah killed more than 200 people, many of them Australian tourists.

That attack was a watershed for Indonesia, which has the world's largest Muslim population, forcing the secular state to confront the presence of violent militants on its soil.

Australian media reported that Indonesia's counter-terror police unit known as Detachment 88 stormed two separate addresses on Bali, in the capital Denpasar and at a hotel in Sanur, on Sunday night.

Three men were killed at the hotel in Sanur, an area popular with foreign tourists, and two at the Denpasar location, media said, quoting Australian Associated Press. (AAP)

"Last night we have paralyzed five criminal perpetrators who were planning to commit terrorist acts and rob foreign currency and gold shops in several locations in Bali," national police spokesman Boy Rafli Amar told Reuters.

"All the suspects died during the raids because they defied or shot back with pistols at the police officers," he said.

He said the five had been followed and were about to rob a foreign exchange bureau and a gold shop when police intervened, he said.

Police confiscated two rifles, two ammunition magazines, 48 bullets and a balaclava, he said.

National police spokesman Saud Usman Nasution said: "This is an Islamic militant group, a splinter group of Jemaah Islamiah who established a training camp in Aceh."

"They were trying to do a heist because they want to collect money for their fight," he said.

AAP quoted another senior police officer as saying it was possible the group had been planning to carry out attacks on Thursday, the eve of Nyepi, or the annual Day of Silence marking Bali's Hindu New Year.

Balinese traditionally hold large parades on the eve of Nyepi, which also draws large numbers of tourists, AAP said.

The killings follow the start of a trial last month of an Islamist militant accused of making the bombs used in the 2002 Bali nightclubs attack.

Umar Patek, who was captured in the same Pakistan town where U.S. forces killed Osama bin Laden, is also accused of mixing chemicals for 13 bombs that detonated in five churches in Jakarta on Christmas Eve, 2000, killing about 15 people.

Security officials say he belonged to Jemaah Islamiah.

Yoda, the World's Ugliest Dog, Passes Away

Sad animal news today. Yoda, a Chinese crested-Chihuahua mix and the reigning winner of the World's Ugliest Dog crown, has passed away. She was 15.

Yoda earned the prestigious award in June 2011 at the Sonoma-Marin Fair in California. For her dogged (BOO!) pursuit of the honor, Yoda won $1,000!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, or something ...

R.I.P. YODA: A dog so ugly, it's downright adorable!

In an email to the Hanford Sentinel, Yoda's owner Terry Schumacher writes, "Say a prayer today 4 my YODA... She passed away last night in her sleep."

"I will miss her funny little ways! But comforted knowing she will be joining my Mom and Dad, who loved her so much! Her memories will live on forever!!!"

Blasts hit Damascus as Syria gears up for monitors

Twin bombings killed civilians and police in the heart of the Syrian capital Saturday, state television said, as peace envoy Kofi Annan geared up for a monitoring mission to end the year-long bloodshed.

"Two terrorist bombings struck Damascus this morning," the television said, adding that initial reports suggested the bombers had blown up vehicles packed with explosives.

The attacks targeted the criminal police headquarters and an office of Syria's intelligence services, killing several police and civilians, it said without giving figures.

The state broadcaster showed gruesome pictures of a charred body inside the mangled remains of a smoking vehicle in Duwar al-Jamarek.

"First pictures of the body of one of the terrorists who targeted Damascus today in Duwar al-Jamarek," a message running on the screen said.

Other images broadcast on television showed a bus splattered with blood and more blood stains on the road, while ambulances could be seen in the background.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said earlier that two powerful explosions targeted security service buildings in the capital.

A spate of bombings have hit Syria's big cities amid concerns that Al-Qaeda has taken advantage of the revolt against President Bashar Assad to shift its focus of operations from neighbouring Iraq.

On January 6, a car bomb exploded in Damascus killing 26 people, most of them civilians. State media said it was a suicide attack and blamed "terrorists".

The attack came after twin bombs hit security service bases in the capital on December 23, with state media pointing the finger at Al-Qaeda, while car bombs in the northern city of Aleppo on February 10 killed 28 people.

The United States has resisted mounting calls from its Gulf Arab allies Qatar and Saudi Arabia for the arming of rebel forces in Syria for fear the weapons might fall into the hands of the jihadists.

On Friday, UN-Arab League envoy Annan warned of a regional "escalation" of the crisis in Syria and urged the UN Security Council to close ranks to put pressure on Assad.

The former UN chief, who met Assad in Damascus last weekend, has ordered a team of UN experts to Syria this weekend to discuss a possible ceasefire and international monitoring mission, his spokesman said.

"We tend to focus on Syria, but any miscalculation that leads to major escalation will have impact in the region which would be extremely difficult to manage," he told reporters in Geneva, according to an official transcript.

Annan told the Security Council via videoconference that he has had a "disappointing" response from Assad so far to his proposals, diplomats at the meeting said.

"The stronger and more unified your message, the better chance we have of shifting the dynamics of the conflict," Annan was quoted as telling the 15-nation council.

The United Nations says some 8,000 people have died since opposition protests broke out last March. Activists have given a toll of more than 9,100.

But the Security Council has been unable to pass a resolution condemning the violence. Russia and China have twice used their powers as permanent members to block resolutions which they said were unbalanced.

Following Annan's intervention, talks are expected to start again on a draft text drawn up by the United States.

Syria's foreign ministry said the country would cooperate with Annan and at the same time pursue its crackdown on "armed terrorist gangs," which it holds responsible for the year of bloodshed.

The government is "determined to protect its citizens by disarming the terrorists and continues to search for a peaceful solution to the crisis," it said in a letter to the United Nations, reported by state news agency SANA.

Thousands of anti-government protesters called Friday for foreign military intervention to bring down Assad. The Syrian Observatory said at least 15 people were killed around the country.

"The people want military intervention, the Free Syrian Army to be armed, and the fall of the regime," several thousand demonstrators chanted in Aleppo, an activist at the scene told AFP by telephone.

Huge rallies in support of Assad were held in Damascus and other major cities on Thursday to mark the first anniversary of the uprising.

Annan's experts are expected in Damascus on Sunday. The United Nations and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation are also to send experts this weekend on a Syrian government-led humanitarian mission.

The United Nations estimates more than 30,000 Syrians have fled to neighbouring states and another 200,000 are displaced within Syria.
