Slippery technology shown to prevent more than 99 percent of harmful bacterial slime from forming on surfaces

Cambridge, Mass. July 30, 2012 Biofilms may no longer have any solid ground upon which to stand.

A team of Harvard scientists has developed a slick way to prevent the troublesome bacterial communities from ever forming on a surface. Biofilms stick to just about everything, from copper pipes to steel ship hulls to glass catheters. The slimy coatings are more than just a nuisance, resulting in decreased energy efficiency, contamination of water and food supplies, andespecially in medical settingspersistent infections. Even cavities in teeth are the unwelcome result of bacterial colonies.

In a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), lead coauthors Joanna Aizenberg, Alexander Epstein, and Tak-Sing Wong coated solid surfaces with an immobilized liquid film to trick the bacteria into thinking they had nowhere to attach and grow.

"People have tried all sorts of things to deter biofilm build-uptextured surfaces, chemical coatings, and antibiotics, for example," says Aizenberg, Amy Smith Berylson Professor of Materials Science at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) and a Core Faculty Member at the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard. "In all those cases, the solutions are short-lived at best. The surface treatments wear off, become covered with dirt, or the bacteria even deposit their own coatings on top of the coating intended to prevent them. In the end, bacteria manage to settle and grow on just about any solid surface we can come up with."

Taking a completely different approach, the researchers used their recently developed technology, dubbed SLIPS (Slippery-Liquid-Infused Porous Surfaces) to effectively create a hybrid surface that is smooth and slippery due to the liquid layer that is immobilized on it.

First described in the September 22, 2011, issue of the journal Nature, the super-slippery surfaces have been shown to repel both water- and oil-based liquids and even prevent ice or frost from forming.

"By creating a liquid-infused structured surface, we deprive bacteria of the static interface they need to get a grip and grow together into biofilms," says Epstein, a recent Ph.D. graduate who worked in Aizenberg's lab at the time of the study.

"In essence, we turned a once bacteria-friendly solid surface into a liquid one. As a result, biofilms cannot cling to the material, and even if they do form, they easily 'slip' off under mild flow conditions," adds Wong, a researcher at SEAS and a Croucher Foundation Postdoctoral Fellow at the Wyss Institute.

Aizenberg and her collaborators reported that SLIPS reduced by 96% the formation of three of the most notorious, disease-causing biofilmsPseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, and Staphylococcus aureusover a 7-day period.

The technology works in both a static environment and under flow, or natural conditions, making it ideally suited for coating implanted medical devices that interact with bodily fluids. The coated surfaces can also combat bacterial growth in environments with extreme pH levels, intense ultraviolet light, and high salinity.

SLIPS is also nontoxic, readily scalable, andmost importantlyself-cleaning, needing nothing more than gravity or a gentle flow of liquid to stay unsoiled. As previously demonstrated with a wide variety of liquids and solids, including blood, oil, and ice, everything seems to slip off surfaces treated with the technology.

To date, this may be the first successful test of a nontoxic synthetic surface that can almost completely prevent the formation of biofilms over an extended period of time. The approach may find application in medical, industrial, and consumer products and settings.

In future studies, the researchers aim to better understand the mechanisms involved in preventing biofilms. In particular, they are interested in whether any bacteria transiently attach to the interface and then slip off, if they just float above the surface, or if any individuals can remain loosely attached.

"Biofilms have been amazing at outsmarting us. And even when we can attack them, we often make the situation worse with toxins or chemicals. With some very cool, nature-inspired design tricks we are excited about the possibility that biofilms may have finally met their match," concludes Aizenberg.

STEPS IN LITIGATING A PERSONAL INJURY CASE ? PART I

Are you wondering what to expect when you file a personal injury lawsuit? And uncertain of your attorney?s role?

?It?s understandable.

Personal injury litigation is complex and often extremely time-consuming. And because each case is unique, no one can predict exactly how yours will proceed or how your attorney will pursue your claim. In addition, because personal injury laws and regulations differ substantially from state to state, there?s no ?one size fits all? legal process.

But don?t be discouraged. The good news is that generally speaking, every personal injury lawsuit follows the same logical sequence below:

  • Initial Interview with Attorney
  • Intake and Investigation
  • Filing of Claim
  • Fact-Finding and Discovery
  • Pre-trial Motion
  • Settlement / Negotiations
  • Trial
  • Verdict
  • Collecting Money After ?the Court Judgment
  • Appeal

The list above illustrates the steps when a lawsuit goes all the way to an appeal. However, you can stop litigation at any time by reaching a settlement with the defendant.

BREAKING DOWN THE STEPS

Now that you have a basic understanding of the timeline, it?s crucial to figure out how the steps fit into the big picture. Why?? Because each step is a vital part of determining whether or not a defendant is liable for the victim?s injuries. Your attorney will always have this objective in mind because the ultimate goal is to reach a settlement or to win at trial.

So now, let us look at some specific features of the steps:

Initial Interview with Attorney: When you first determine whether to hire a specific firm, it?s essential to remember that your attorneys will hold part of your future in their hands. Over the coming months, they will become your friends and carry tremendous responsibility. So ask about their experience and training as well as detailed questions about your lawsuit. This is your opportunity to learn more about how things will proceed should your attorney take your case.

Intake and investigation: This step determines whether you have a valid claim that will survive in court, and identifies which laws may be applicable to the facts of the situation. Your attorney will interview you to record all details of your accident as well as every legally significant fact. A detailed, consistent and factually accurate description of your accident is perhaps the most important element of your lawsuit, because it will form the basis of your initial complaint.

Next, your case will be investigated and evaluated. In some complex cases, evaluation can take months or up to one year to complete, as considerable investigation and legal research may be necessary to determine whether the case has merit. Your law firm?s investigators will photograph the accident site, interview possible witnesses, and identify property owners, among others.

Filing of Claim: Once the law firm agrees to take your case, you become officially a personal injury claimant and plaintiff. Alternatively, the party you are suing is known as the defendant. Your attorney will file papers in court?a summons and a complaint. These documents outline your case, informing both the court and the defendant of the harm caused to you, and of the compensation you expect to receive for your lost wages, medical expenses, and pain and suffering. In many cases, your spouse and children will also have claims for losses as a result of your injuries. At this time, the defendant will be given ?Notice? of your upcoming lawsuit. Be aware that he or she may then file a counterclaim.

Please note that in Part 2 of this article, we will discuss the remaining steps of a Personal Injury Lawsuit.

Woman injured in Colo. shooting suffers miscarriage

DENVER (AP) ? A woman who was critically wounded in the Colorado theater shooting that left dead her 6-year-old daughter has suffered a miscarriage.

The family of Ashley Moser said in a statement Saturday that she is recovering from surgery but that the trauma caused the miscarriage.

Jacki Kelley of the Jefferson County sheriff's office declined to release details and says the family has declined to speak to the media.

Moser's daughter, Veronica Moser-Sullivan, was the youngest person killed in the attack at a midnight showing of the new Batman movie in Aurora, Colo., more than a week ago.

Moser suffered gunshot wounds to her neck and abdomen. A family member has said they hadn't told her about Veronica's death.

The family says funeral plans for the girl remain pending.

Naval exercises a boost for India-Japan ties

NEW DELHI - For two days last month, ships from the Indian and Japanese naval forces held joint military exercises in waters off Tokyo. By military standards, the exercises were small in scale. But they were heavy with symbolism and brought to light another facet of the growing relationship between the two countries - defence.

Their growing collaboration is expected to lead to tighter cooperation in one of the world's most increasingly important regions, the Indian Ocean. And given the shadow cast by the regional giant that separates the countries, it is a relationship that many observers feel is long overdue.

Such joint exercises might be standard practice in international military-to-military exchanges, but with growing regional tensions - like in the South China Sea, located between India and Japan - they take on a more complex meaning.

"If you look at it through a containment of China prism, it makes sense. Everybody is very worried about China," said Mr Rahul Bedi, a regional defence expert.

The exercises could be taken as part of efforts to boost India's naval power and project its influence beyond the Indian Ocean. THE NEW YORK TIMES

Jada Pinkett Smith Tweets Bikini Pic, Words of Encouragement


Jada Pinkett Smith has no problem showing some serious skin when it comes to important causes.

The actress got naked last month in the name of human trafficking awareness, and now she's showing off her bikini body for the sake of the over-40 crowd.

Jada Pinkett Smith Bikini Body

Smith Tweeted a photo of herself in the water over the weekend, along with the caption: "To my Forty and over crew! Don't believe the hype…we DO get better with age!" 

Of course, it helps when you are rich and can afford a personal trainer and a personal chef and can take the time in between movies or TV shows to work out like crazy. But still.

Jada has been battling divorce rumors in the press for months now, but there are no actual signs that she and Will Smith will be splitting any time soon.

Top Personal Development Blogs - Personal Growth, Inspiration ...

?

Long before I was even inspired to start my own blog, I have been following certain blogs and authors, who stand out in the value and the content they give in the areas of Personal Growth.

Some of the blogs in the following list are my personal?favorites for years?and others I stumbled upon or heard about due to their popularity among a large audience. Some of them are impressively run by a single person and others by large teams (and yet have similar rankings in popularity and same standards in quality of articles!).

In the list of top personal development blogs, I included blogs that combine the topics of personal development, motivation, inspiration and productivity with entrepreneurship and leadership advice, as I believe all these terms are interrelated.

The results are not only based on extensive research of top blogs in popularity among people who are in the personal development community, but also on number of visits per month and Google rankings. The listing below is based on Alexa global rankings at the time of publishing this article ( July 2012). I also looked at Facebook and Twitter followings as an indication of popularity.

?1.?The Blog of Author Tim Ferris?

Tagline:? ?Experiments in Lifestyle Design?

Timothy Ferris is the author of a book that started a movement in online entrepreneurship and lifestyle design. His book The 4-Hour Workweek has been a bestseller since it was first published on 2007 followed by Tim Ferris new bestseller The 4-Hour Body: An Uncommon Guide to Rapid Fat-Loss, Incredible Sex, and Becoming Superhuman in 2011.

Tim Ferris has inspired and given guidance through his articles, talks and books, to thousands of entrepreneurs to create successful online businesses that free up their time so that they can live their dream lifestyle and more recently, has helped thousands of people transform their body and lose unwanted weight. Tim?s articles (and books) are amazingly well researched and in-depth with case studies and real life examples of how you can practice what his recommends in your life. Each and every article is like a mini-guide with plenty of resources to take away and implement. A blog with unquestionable value in each and every article and I admit it is one of my personal all time favourites.

In Israel, Romney declares Jerusalem to be capital, takes aggressive stand against Iran

JERUSALEM - Standing on Israeli soil, U.S. presidential candidate Mitt Romney on Sunday declared Jerusalem to be the capital of the Jewish state and said the United States has "a solemn duty and a moral imperative" to block Iran from achieving nuclear weapons capability.

"Make no mistake, the ayatollahs in Iran are testing our moral defenses. They want to know who will object and who will look the other way," he said. "We will not look away nor will our country ever look away from our passion and commitment to Israel."

The presidential election hovered over the speech. The Old City formed a made-for-television backdrop behind Romney, while some of his campaign donors listened in the audience.

Romney's declaration that Jerusalem is Israel's capital was matter-of-fact and in keeping with claims made by Israeli governments for decades, even though the United States, like other nations, maintains its embassy in Tel Aviv.

He did not say if he would order the embassy moved if he wins the White House, but strongly suggested so in a CNN interview.

"My understanding is the policy of our nation has been a desire to move our embassy ultimately to the capital (Jerusalem)," he said, adding, "I would only want to do so and to select the timing in accordance with the government of Israel."

His remarks on the subject during his speech drew a standing ovation from his audience, which included Sheldon Adelson, the American businessman who has said he will donate millions to help elect Romney to the White House.

Romney's embrace of Israel was on display earlier in the day when he met with Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu and other leaders. He also visited the Western Wall, Judaism's holiest site, where he was mobbed by worshippers. In addition, Romney met with Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad.

In his remarks, Romney steered clear of overt criticism of President Barack Obama, even though he said the threat of a nuclear-armed Iran "has only become worse" in the past five years.

In an unspoken rebuttal to Obama and other critics, Romney said, "It is sometimes said that those who are the most committed to stopping the Iranian regime from security nuclear weapons are reckless and provocative and inviting war.

"The opposite is true. We are the true peacemakers," he said.

The former Massachusetts governor also stepped back from a comment a senior aide made a short while before the speech.

"We recognize Israel's right to defend itself," he told the audience. Earlier, the aide, Dan Senor, previewed the speech for reporters, saying that "if Israel has to take action on its own, in order to stop Iran from developing the capability, the governor would respect that decision."

Israel is the second of three stops on an international trip for Romney in the weeks before he claims the Republican nomination at his party's national convention in Tampa, Fla.

He flew to the Middle East from Britain, where he caused a stir by questioning whether officials there were fully prepared for the Olympic Games. A stop in Poland will complete his trip.

Four years ago, then-U.S. Sen. Barack Obama also visited Israel as a candidate, part of a five-nation trip meant to establish his own foreign policy credentials.

In his speech, Romney said Syrian President Bashar Assad "desperately clings to power" in Damascus in the face of an attempted overthrow, but he did not call for his removal.

He noted that Egypt is now headed by an "Islamist president, chosen in a Democratic election. ... The international community must use its considerable influence to insure that the new government honors the peace agreement with Israel that was signed by the government of Anwar Sadat" more than three decades ago, he said.

A goal of Romney's overseas trip is to demonstrate his confidence on the world stage, but his stop in Israel also was designed to appeal to evangelical voters at home and to cut into Obama's support among Jewish voters and donors. A Gallup survey of Jewish voters released Friday showed Obama with a 68-25 edge over Romney.

Romney and other Republicans have said Obama is insufficiently supportive of Israel, noting statements the president has made about settlements and his handling of evident Iranian attempt to develop nuclear weapons.

Tehran is closer to developing nuclear weapons capability than before, Romney said. "Preventing that outcome must be our highest national security priority."

In a March speech before a pro-Israel lobby in Washington, Obama warned of "loose talk of war" that serves only to drive up oil prices. "Now is not the time to bluster," he said then. "Now is the time to let our increased pressure sink in and sustain the broad international coalition we have built."

It was unlikely that the day's events would settle the issue.

Obama's former press secretary, Robert Gibbs, told ABC's "This Week" that the administration has delayed Iran's nuclear program. The president has imposed U.S. penalties against Iran and worked to tougher strictures applied by other nations. There have been numerous published reports of a coordinated U.S.-Israeli cyberattack that caused damage to Iranian equipment vital to creating weapons-grade nuclear material.

Even so, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said before the speech that "all the sanctions and diplomacy so far have not set back the Iranian program by one iota."

Whatever the reality, the administration has taken steps in recent days to reassure Israel of its support.

Most notably, Obama approved an increase in assistance to strengthen a missile defense system that is designed to protect Israel from rocket attacks launched from the Gaza.

Senor's comments caused a stir in the hours leading to Romney's speech, a reminder of the controversy that Romney had created a few days earlier in London.

He later clarified his comments in a written statement, saying that the candidate "believes we should employ any and all measures to dissuade the Iranian regime from its nuclear course and it is his fervent hope that diplomatic and economic measures will do so. In the final analysis, of course, no option should be excluded."

Pentagon officials have spoken publicly about the difficulty of such a strike and American officials have expressed concern about the destabilizing effect such military action could have in the region, even if carried out successfully.

Race For Nascar | The Borg

A professional motor sport that has been in existence in the United States for 60 years is Nascar.

Another thing you may be wondering is what stock cars are. Nascar only includes car racing events with stock cars that means that these cars are straight from the factories and aren?t altered or changed at all.

Creepy robot baby now creepier with torso and floppy arms

2 hrs.

A robot baby being built as part of a neuroscience research program in Japan has just gotten a torso, including arms that flop around like an infant?s sans swaddle.

Affeto, the robo-baby, is creepy in its realism, which is what the team from Osaka University aims to accomplish as they use robotics to study ?how humans? higher cognitive functions develop,? according to a project description.

Ultimately, the robot will be used in behavioral experiments. For now, the researchers are trying to ?build a realistic child robot with a muscle-skeletal system.??

The torso?s flexibility comes from 22 pneumatic actuators in its body.

In the video below you can see that Affeto?s torso is approaching the realistic stage. At one point, it hits itself in the face with ?babyish looseness,? Endgadget notes.?

The robot?s face has the thousand-mile stare of a well satiated or exhausted infant, but that may be because the team has yet to pair the torso with the robotic head, which was demonstrated in Feb.?2011.

Stay tuned.

Commercial Real Estate Property | Real Estate Home Network

Commercial real estate is the immovable property which is land including all attachments therein. Commercial is attached to the word real estate because the purpose of the land and all improvements attached thereto are used for commercial purposes.

Commercial Real Estate Properties

These commercial real estate properties may be lands with buildings used for businesses such as shopping malls, supermarkets, ordinary grocery and other profit-oriented activities. Even office buildings are called commercial real estate properties.?Most commonly, commercial real estate properties are not being sold to individual purchasers. Should a commercial real estate property will be for sale; buyer would commonly be corporations or group of entrepreneurs. Individual buyers usually purchases residential real estate properties.

Commonly, it is not popular to sell commercial real estate properties, businesses people such as corporations or groups are merely leasing or acquiring commercial real estate property by joint venture agreements with commercial real estate owners.?In case of commercial real estate transactions, brokers needs to know how to deal with other transactions on top of the knowledge of contracting for sale or for purchasing of real estate properties, brokers need to know how to handle transactions such as leasing, mortgages, exchange or joint venture transactions.?It may also be helpful to commercial real estate owners if the real estate broker they contract will be able to conduct property management services as well.

Aged just nine months he contracted meningococcal septicaemia, the virulent form of meningitis, which resulted in a three month spell in the intensive care unit at St. Mary?s Hospital in London. While the doctors were ultimately successful in saving Patrick?s life, it unfortunately resulted in the amputation of his right leg below the knee, all of the fingers from his left hand, and part of each finger on his right hand. He now wears a prosthetic leg and is one of the few people in the UK to wear the world's most advanced bionic hand - the i-LIMB Pulse from UK company, Touch Bionics. He was the youngest ever person to be fitted with this advanced prosthesis, and he has consistently impressed the company by his ability to quickly understand and excel at controlling and using his prosthesis. He is an inspiration to everyone who meets him as his amputations have never held him back and he talks openly about what has happened to him, without a hint of bitterness or self pity.

5.59pm ? Downing Street: Kate Nesbitt, 24, from Plymouth will carry the Flame into Downing Street where in front of Number 10 she will hand the Flame to Florence Rowe, 81, from Prestwood, who will then carry the Flame out of Downing Street.

Kate Nesbitt was nominated for being the first woman in the Royal Navy to be awarded the Military Cross. She was given the award in honour of her bravery in administering emergency medical treatment to her injured colleagues during an ambush in Afghanistan in March 2009.

Florence was selected through the Coca Cola campaign. When she was 18-years-old Florence was part of the crowds in London that welcomed the Olympics in 1948. Her selection as a Torchbearer fulfils her dream to again be part of the Olympics in London, reversing the number of years from 18 to 81.

6.33pm ? Buckingham Palace: Jon Sayer, 33, from West Yorkshire, will carry the Flame along Birdcage Walk to the front of Buckingham Palace where he will hand the Flame to Wai Ming-Lee, 38, from Hemel Hempstead.

The exchange will be viewed by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry.

On leaving Buckingham Palace, John will be joined by members of the Household Cavalry as he travels along Constitution Hill.

Jon was nominated through the LOCOG public nomination campaign for the extraordinary contribution to the community of Todmorden. He has been a Scout volunteer for sixteen years working simultaneously with a Cub Scout Pack and an Explorer Scout unit as well as supporting fellow volunteers through their adult training. In addition to volunteering with the Scouts, Jon has undertaken training as a lifeguard, and he volunteers as a special Police Constable.

Wai Ming-Lee was nominated through the LOCOG public nomination campaign. He volunteers with the disaster mapping charity MapAction to channel aid to people left in desperate need after devastating disasters. Ming flew out for his first emergency mission in December 2004, in the aftermath of the Indian Ocean tsunami. He has since deployed on assignments across Asia, Africa and continental Europe.

John was nominated through the LOCOG public nomination campaign for his work with the Ogwen Valley Mountain Rescue Organisation. He has volunteered with the organisation since 1973 and taken part in over 1000 operations. Along with the other volunteers, they help casualties from steep mountains, rivers and mines of Snowdonia and elsewhere in the UK, quite often in difficult weather and darkness, frequently working with other emergency services such as the RAF helicopters, Police, Fire and Ambulance.

7.10pm ? Hyde Park: Tyler Rix will light a celebration cauldron on stage at the Finale event of the London 2012 Olympic Torch Relay to enable the Olympic Flame to be seen by the audience. Tyler was selected through the Coca Cola campaign. He won the Schoolboys FA National Cup with the West Ham Academy, as well as representing his district and county. He released a number 1 album with Universal Records and performed as a classical soloist for the BBC Concert Orchestra and played jazz for 10000 people at the Mayor's Trafalgar Square celebrations. He is an inspiration to other youngsters to follow their dreams.
