Link between faster 'biological' aging and risk of developing age-related diseases

Mar. 27, 2013 ? An international team of scientists led by the University of Leicester has found new evidence that links faster 'biological' ageing to the risk of developing several age-related diseases -- including heart disease, multiple sclerosis and various cancers.

The study involved scientists in 14 centres across 8 countries, working as part of the ENGAGE Consortium (list of research teams is give below). The research is published online today (27^th March) in the journal Nature Genetics.

The project studied a feature of chromosomes called telomeres. Telomeres sit on the end of our chromosomes -- the strands of DNA stored in the nucleus of cells. The telomeres shorten each time a cell divides to make new cells, until they reach a critical short length and the cells enter an inactive state and then die. Therefore telomeres shorten as an individual gets older. But, individuals are born with different telomere lengths and the rate at which they subsequently shorten can also vary. The speed with which telomeres wear down is a measure of 'biological ageing'.

Professor Nilesh Samani, British Heart Foundation Professor of Cardiology at the University of Leicester and Director of the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Leicester Cardiovascular Biomedical Research Unit, who led the project said: "Although heart disease and cancers are more common as one gets older, not everyone gets them -- and some people get them at an earlier age. It has been suspected that the occurrence of these diseases may in part be related to some people "biologically" ageing more quickly than others."

The research team measured telomere lengths in over 48,000 individuals and looked at their DNA and identified seven genetic variants that were associated with telomere length. They then asked the question whether these genetic variants also affected risk of various diseases. As DNA cannot be changed by lifestyle or environmental factors, an association of these genetic variants which affect telomere length with a disease also would suggest a causal link between telomere length and that disease.

The scientists found that the variants were indeed linked to risk of several types of cancers including colorectal cancer as well as diseases like multiple sclerosis and celiac disease. Most interestingly, the authors found that in aggregate the seven variants also associated with risk of coronary artery disease which can lead to heart attacks.

Professor Samani added: "These are really exciting findings. We had previous evidence that shorter telomere lengths are associated with increased risk of coronary artery disease but were not sure whether this association was causal or not. This research strongly suggests that biological ageing plays an important role in causing coronary artery disease, the commonest cause of death in the world. This provides a novel way of looking at the disease and at least partly explains why some patients develop it early and others don't develop it at all even if they carry other risk factors."

Dr Veryan Codd, Senior Research Associate at the University of Leicester who co-ordinated the study and carried out the majority of the telomere length measurements said: "The findings open of the possibility that manipulating telomere length could have health benefits. While there is a long way to go before any clinical application, there are data in experimental models where lengthening telomere length has been shown to retard and in some situations reverse age-related changes in several organs."

Revel Files Prepackaged Chapter 11 Cases to Implement its ...

Revel Beach, Atlantic City, N.J. ? March 25, 2013 ? Revel AC Inc., (the ?Company? or ?Revel?) announced today that it has filed its voluntary prepackaged Chapter 11 cases in the US Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey (Camden) to facilitate its previously announced financial restructuring.

Under the plan of reorganization, Revel will significantly reduce its debt?by more than 82%?from approximately $1.52 billion to $272 million, through a debt-for-equity conversion. Revel has secured votes from a supermajority of its lenders, which is in excess of the amount required for the court to approve the plan.

The restructuring is not expected to impact Revel?s guests, employees or vendors. Throughout the restructuring, Revel intends to continue normal business operations. All services, guest loyalty plans and promotions, dining, scheduled entertainment, programming and events will continue to move forward without change or interruption, and that employees and vendors will be paid in the normal course of business.

Jeffrey Hartmann, Revel?s Interim Chief Executive Officer, commented on today?s announcement, ?Backed by overwhelming lender support, we remain on track to complete our financial restructuring ahead of the critical summer season. We will emerge from this recapitalization positioned for long-term success, with the financial capacity to pursue our amenity enhancement opportunities, and the ability to continue providing our guests with a signature Revel experience.?

As previously announced, certain of Revel?s lenders will provide approximately $250 million in debtor-in-possession financing (DIP), approximately $42 million of which constitutes new money commitments and approximately $208 million of which constitutes prepetition debt. In addition, Revel will obtain $335 million in exit financing, which consists of a $75 million revolver and $260 million term loan. The proceeds of the exit facility will be used to provide Revel with additional working capital, fund certain capital expenditures, repay the DIP financing, and pay expenses related to the restructuring upon emergence from Chapter 11.

The Company expects to complete its restructuring, which is subject to bankruptcy court approval and the conditions set forth in the restructuring agreement, within 45 to 60 days and anticipates emerging from Chapter 11 by early summer.

Revel?s legal advisor in connection with the restructuring is Kirkland & Ellis LLP. Alvarez & Marsal serves as its restructuring advisor and Moelis & Company serves as its investment banker for the restructuring.

Want A Cost Effecting Vacation? Do It In A Campervan

For several visitors planning to continue road trips in New Zealand, hiring a campervan is really a very sound option. The reason for this is that these motorhomes for hire provide one the luxury or pleasure to enjoy New Zealands beautiful countryside in relative of high comfort. Additionally, using a campervan allows one more choices that'll not be possible if they opted to vacation at a hotel resort until their vacation is over.

If you intend to vacation in New Zealand and you want to hire a campervan, you have to arm yourself with some information regarding campervans warns lucky rentals, the cheap campervan hire company. It is definitely important that you retain the proper kind of campervan since this will ensure that your holiday in New Zealand will be a most pleasant one.

There are actually four basic things that you need to look for before you hire a campervan. One is the number of sleeping berths. The number of berths refers to the number of beds or sleeping platforms that a motorhomes has. It is critical that you've enough berths to cater for the number of people going on the trip with you. You need to check how big these berths and if they are sufficient to accommodate your fellow travelers. It'd be helpful to understand that some single berths are measured for children whilst double berths count as two separate berths.

Before you hire a, you need to check the facilities included. You can start by having a clue what you intend to do during the trip. This includes what activities you'll be participating in and what things would be important. If you'd be visiting sites in the New Zealand country side, the motorhome or campervan you to hire will need to have a bathroom and functional kitchen.

Also, if you've children going along with you, you'll also require something to entertain them like a television set and probably a DVD player. A barbecue grill and a foldable dining collection could also be lovely if you'd like to eat outdoors.

You need to also seek out insurance and road rescue support. You can never know the type of crisis you will encounter whilst you are on your campervan holiday, so it is better to have some sort of security. One of the forms of protection you will need is the appropriate insurance for the campervan. Hence, you need to talk with your rental company if they have such an insurance cover before you rent their campervan. You should also make sure that the rental company gives round the clock customer service incase you run into problems while on your trip.

The other thing to note is the campervan size. Size matters when it comes to New Zealand campervan rental. The bigger it is, the more convenient it will be, and you will need that additional convenience if you are going for a long trip.

Small Call (for Android)

Small Call is an Android app designed to minimize app-interruption on Android when you receive a call or text?a? good idea, because some apps may not recover well from an incoming call or text message when they are running in the background. Small Call does not provide much benefit over the native Android OS capabilities overall, but if you have a particular background-running app that becomes unstable when you get a call or text, you may want to check out Small Call (.99 GooglePlay).

Configuring
After installing and launching the app, you get a couple of settings choices. A toggle slide switch lets you enable or disable Small Call. You can also adjust the opacity of a pop-up menu that the app displays?that is, the amount of contrast between the menu's icons and the background.

You can tell Small Call to prevent calls and texts from interrupting the main task you're doing with your device in a few ways. For incoming calls, you can choose to simply reject the call with no further action, send the call to voicemail, or pick up and then hang up on the caller?a rather extreme solution. These actions are performed via a pop-up overlay that Small Call displays when a call or text is received.

You can also opt to use Small Call to handle incoming texts. When you receive a text, the Small Call pop up overlay shows you the message, tells you who the message is from, and lets you ignore it or shoot a text back.? The default text message to send is set as "Can't talk now, what's up?" which encourages the person contacting you to text you again, further disturbing you when you don't want to be interrupted in the first place. Fortunately, you can set a custom message up to 250 characters.

Testing
I tested Small Call on my rather dated?Droid 3?with three apps running: a game called Stand o' Food 3, Spotify, and a stopwatch app.? I also tested writing a text message while getting an incoming call with Small Call enabled. I set Small Call to send ignored calls to VM.

With Small Call enabled and the Stand o' Food game running, I saw the app's overlay screen give me the option to Ignore, Text, or Answer. As was always the case before I installed Small Call, my game was interrupted with Small Call handling the call. My call was sent to VM as I configured the app to do. Although my game was interrupted, at least the game app was still open so I could quickly re-launch the game, but that's always the case.

Next I ran a critical stopwatch app I use to test device performance with Small Call enabled. This was where I find value in Small Call. Normally, when I get a call with my stopwatch app running, I get the Android phone call interface, which blocks my view of the stopwatch and sometimes stops the countdown. With Small Call handling incoming calls, I instead get a little pop-up window at the bottom of my screen so I can handle the call and keep an eye on my countdown.

With Spotify streaming music and Small Call enabled, I did get the Small Call screen and could choose to ignore the call and send it to VM. Enabling Small Call made no difference while using Spotify, because I can handle the calls pretty much the same way natively with Android and Spotify will go back to streaming music with or without Small Call.

Next, I tested what happens when I'm in the middle of writing a text message and the phone rings. This is one of the most annoying interruptions with an Android phone, because you are almost always guaranteed to lose your place typing the message (although my phone natively does a good job of saving a draft message, instantly). When I received an inbound call in the middle of typing a text, the Small Call pop-up overlay appeared, and I was able to ignore the call and send it to voicemail. The message was saved as a draft and I was able to go to creating the text. Again though, Android handles interrupted text messages like that, anyway.

Good Perhaps for Some Apps
Since I last tested Small Call, the developers have done a good job of fixing some bugs that caused the app to crash every once in a while. The value of Small Call really depends on the apps you have running in the background. With Spotify Small Call makes no difference, but for my stopwatch app, Small Call helps. If you run an app that acts flaky whenever you receive a call or text, give Small Call a try.

No-kill wolf ban spurs nonlethal options

For the past year, Oregon has been a 'wolf-safe' zone, with ranchers turning to nonlethal ways to protect livestock.?While the number of wolves has gone up, livestock kills haven't.

By Jeff Barnard,?Associated Press / March 2, 2013

In this 2012 photo, the Lamar Canyon wolf pack moves on a hillside in Yellowstone National Park, Wyo. For the past year, Oregon has been a "wolf-safe" zone, with ranchers turning to more modern, nonlethal ways to protect livestock.

As long as wolves have been making their comeback, biologists and ranchers have had a decidedly Old West option for dealing with those that develop a taste for beef: Shoot to kill. But for the past year, Oregon has been a "wolf-safe" zone, with ranchers turning to more modern, nonlethal ways to protect livestock.

While the number of wolves roaming the state has gone up, livestock kills haven't ? and now conservation groups are hoping Oregon can serve as a model for other Western states working to return the predator to the wild.

"Once the easy option of killing wolves is taken off the table, we've seen reluctant but responsible ranchers stepping up," said Rob Klavins of the advocacy group Oregon Wild. "Conflict is going down. And wolf recovery has got back on track."

The no-kill ban has been in place since September 2011. That's when the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife announced it planned to kill two members of the Imnaha wolf pack in northeastern Wallowa County for taking livestock. Conservation groups sued, arguing that rules allowing wolves to be killed to reduce livestock attacks did not comply with the state Endangered Species Act. The Oregon Court of Appeals stepped in, prohibiting wolf kills while the two sides work to settle, although ranchers who catch wolves in the act of killing livestock may still shoot them.

At the end of 2012, wolf numbers in the state had risen to 46 from 29 in 2011, according to state fish and wildlife officials. Meantime, four cows and eight sheep were killed last year by two separate packs, while 13 cows were killed by one pack in 2011.

Wallowa County cattle rancher Karl Patton started giving nonlethal methods a try in 2010, after he fired off his pistol to chase off a pack of wolves in a pasture filled with cows and newborn calves. State wildlife officials provided him with an alarm that erupts with bright lights and the sound of gunshots when a wolf bearing a radio-tracking collar treads near. He also staked out fladry fencing at calving time. The long strings of red plastic flags flutter in the wind to scare away wolves. The flags fly from an electrically charged wire that gives off a jolt to predators that dare touch it.

The rancher put 7,000 miles on his ATV spending more time with his herd, and cleaned up old carcasses that put the scent of meat on the wind. And state wildlife officials text him nightly, advising whether a wolf with a satellite GPS tracking collar is nearby.

"None of this stuff is a sure cure," said Patton, who worries the fladry will lose its effectiveness once wolves become accustomed to it. Such measures also can't be used in open range.
