US drone kills senior al-Qaida militant

A militant who acted as a senior operations organizer for al-Qaida was targeted and killed in one of two U.S. drone strikes launched against targets inside Pakistan last week, a U.S. official said.

U.S. and Pakistani sources told Reuters that the target of the attack was Aslam Awan, a Pakistani national from Abbottabad, the same town where Osama bin Laden was killed last May by a U.S. commando team. They said he was targeted in a strike by a U.S.-operated drone on Jan. 10 directed at what news reports said was a compound near the town of Miranshah in the border province of North Waziristan.

That strike broke an undeclared eight-week hiatus in attacks by the armed, unmanned drones that patrol Pakistan's tribal areas and are a key weapon in President Barack Obama's counter-terrorism strategy.

The sources described Awan, who also was known by the nom-de-guerre Abdullah Khorasani, as a significant figure in the remaining core leadership of al-Qaida, which U.S. officials say has been sharply reduced by the drone campaign. Most of the drone attacks are conducted as part of a clandestine CIA operation.

Pakistani officials could not confirm that Awan was killed in the drone attack, but the U.S. official said he was.

Suspected US drone kills 4 militants in Pakistan

One of the sources described Awan as an associate of al-Qaida's current chief of external operations, whose identity is known to intelligence officials but not to the general public.

"Aslam Awan was a senior al-Qaida external operations planner who was working on attacks against the West. His death reduces al-Qaida's thinning bench of another operative devoted to plotting the death of innocent civilians," a U.S. official told NBC News.

Several previous alleged chiefs of external operations for al-Qaida have been caught or killed in drone attacks or counter-terrorism operations, the most notorious being Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, alleged mastermind of the September 11, 2001 attacks on New York and Washington D.C. Mohammed was captured and is being held by U.S. authorities in the Guantanamo Bay, Cuba detention facility.

Because their role in arranging operations involves interacting with militants in the field, external operations chiefs of al-Qaida have found themselves more vulnerable to exposure and counter-attacks by security forces than the movement's most senior leaders, who until bin Laden's demise last year appeared to be able to move about the region and issue provocative audio and video messages with near-impunity.

A Pakistani security source based in the country's border region said that Awan was the remaining member of an al-Qaida cell Pakistani authorities have been trying to roll up since 2008.

"We thought he was very close to Ayman al-Zawahiri," the source said, referring to al-Qaida's current leader and bin Laden's long-time deputy, a former Egyptian doctor.

However, a U.S. source said that American experts did not believe that Awan was particularly close to al-Zawahiri.

Photos document alleged US drone strike victims in Pakistan

The drone strike that targeted Awan was one of two such attacks last week, in what U.S. sources indicated was a resumption of the U.S. drone campaign following the eight-week pause. In the other drone strike, also in North Waziristan, a group of "foreign fighters" sympathetic to the Taliban and al-Qaida, some of Uzbek ethnicity, were targeted on January 12.

The targeted militants were believed to be travelling, possibly in preparation for an operation near Pakistan's border with Afghanistan, and some were injured or killed in the attack, the U.S. source said.

U.S. officials said they could not confirm news reports, based on claims from Pakistani sources, that Hakimullah Mehsud, leader of the TTP, Pakistan's most potent domestic affiliate of the Taliban movement, was also killed in the June 12 attack. Pakistani and U.S. sources said that Mehsud was not targeted in the drone strike, and one Pakistani source said: "He is alive. Hakimullah is alive."

U.S. officials insisted that the drone strike lull did not represent an official moratorium on such operations by the Obama administration. The officials maintained that any fall-off in the pace of such operations was related to the availability of intelligence and operating conditions, such as weather.

However, some officials did privately acknowledge that the drone lull was at least in part calculated to try to improve strained relations between Washington and Islamabad, which had been on a downswing for much of last year in the wake of Pakistan's detention of a CIA operative and the secret U.S. commando raid on bin Laden's Pakistani hideout.

Relations plummeted to a new low following a late November incident in which 24 Pakistani troops were killed accidentally in a NATO aerial attack on border outposts.

Some U.S. and Pakistani officials say that both governments are making efforts to improve relations. As part of this process, a U.S. official said, it is possible that some permanent tweaks could be made in the U.S. drone program which could slow the pace of attacks.

More Americans Practicing Safe Sex, CDC Reports (HealthDay)

THURSDAY, Jan. 19 (HealthDay News) -- The number of Americans who practice behaviors that put them at risk for HIV infection has declined significantly, federal health officials reported Thursday.

The ranks of those engaging in a risky sexual or drug-related behavior dropped from 13 percent of men and 11 percent of women in 2002 to 10 percent and 8 percent, respectively, in 2010, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

"Generally, these are behaviors that are studied in higher risk populations, but by looking in the household population we can get a better sense of the level of risk that may exist in the general population that you don't normally think about," said report author Anjani Chandra, a health scientist at the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics.

Some of the risk factors the researchers looked at were gay and bisexual sex, illicit drug use and having several sexual partners or a partner who injects illegal drugs, she said.

"For women, we don't really see that the decline is due to any variation in sexual risk behaviors, whereas for men we see substantial difference by race," she said.

The reasons for the decline in risk behaviors is not clear, Chandra said. Some of the public health messages might be getting through. It also could be that people are reluctant to disclose that they engage in risky behaviors, she said.

"But, it could be real and reflect actual changes in behavior," she said.

The data in the report was collected on almost 23,000 men and women aged 15 to 44 in households throughout the country and represents 6.5 million men and 4.9 million women.

The decline seems to be due to a drop in risky behaviors such as having unprotected sex and having sex with multiple partners, Chandra said.

There were, however, differences in behaviors in different groups. For example, men who had recently been in prison were more likely to report engaging in one or more HIV risk behaviors, compared with other men, the researchers found.

There were also significant variations based on race and income level, they reported.

Sixteen percent of young black men ages 15 to 24 reported at least one HIV risk-related sexual behavior, compared with 8.7 percent of Hispanic men and 6.5 percent of young white men. Poorer men were also more likely to engage in risky behaviors.

The HIV risk in households is not something one usually thinks about when one thinks about HIV risk, Chandra said.

"In household populations, where you may think these behaviors are nonexistent or very rare, they are occurring and they may be placing people at risk of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases," Chandra said. "Just focusing on high-risk populations may not take care of the concerns that we have."

Dr. Sten Vermund, director of the Institute of Global Health at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine in Nashville, said that the data used was "a highly valid sample of the American population."

Both sexual and drug-related risk behaviors declined in the study period, and that is a positive trend, he said.

"Risk behaviors remain high and the likelihood of encountering an HIV-infected person has never been higher," Vermund noted. "Nonetheless, there is a strong indication that prevention programs are working or cultural norms are shifting, or both."

Philip Alcabes, an associate professor in the School of Health Sciences at Hunter College/City University of New York, is critical of the report as another example of how the government still avoids the real problem of HIV.

"What a waste of time and taxpayer dollars," he said. "Having failed to advocate for structural changes that would actually reduce risk of HIV acquisition and having failed to implement widespread, easily accessible syringe exchange programs, federal agencies instead spend their time studying personal behavior. It's a shame."

"Even though our officials don't have a clear concept of what really happened 30 years ago, they are still looking at AIDS through the same moralizing lens that was common in 1981. That's sad, and disturbing," he said.

Support for PIPA collapses in blackout aftermath (Yahoo! News)

18 U.S. Senators withdraw support of the controversial bill, but the fight isn't over

Yesterday's?internet blackout may have had some success changing minds and winning hearts in the nation's capital. In the?last 24 hours, a total of 18 U.S. senators have publicly withdrawn support of the controversial?Protect IP Act, better known as PIPA.

[Related: PIPA/SOPA timeline]

Though on the internet the issue has largely been bi-partisan, the recent withdrawl of support has largely come from Republicans. Many of the defections have been high-profile, including former PIPA co-sponsors?Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-NH),?Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL),?Sen. Roy Blunt (R-MO),?Sen. John Boozman (R-AR),Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT),?Sen. David Vitter (R-LA), and?Sen. Ben Cardin (D-MD).

According to an informal?head count at opencongress.org, 33 senators currently stand in support of the bill, while 36 remain opposed. A total of 51 votes are needed to defeat this bill for sure; though the bill could be killed with as few as 40 votes if Senate Republicans decide to mount a filibuster. The PIPA legislation is still slated for a vote on January 24.

House Majority Leader Eric?Cantor announced Monday that PIPA's sister bill,?SOPA, would not be coming to a vote in the House after the?White House announced its opposition.

Always Find Your Way When You're Lost by Facing North [Macgyver Tips]

Always Find Your Way When You're Lost by Facing NorthEven if you have lived in a city for a few years you're bound to get lost or disoriented now and again. A new study in Psychological Science reveals the easiest way to reorient yourself and find your way is to face north and visualize the map.

When it comes to understanding environments, our brains refer back to what they know. Western maps are always oriented toward the north so our spatial memory does the same thing. When you face your body north, you visualize a map and can navigate based on memory. Even when you're visiting a new city you should be able to recreate a map you've only glanced at. One of the studies authors, Dr. Julia Frankenstein, suggests using the north trick to learn new cities:

Look at maps before you start your trip, keep them at hand, but navigate yourself, and try to rely on your memory- it will work better than you expect! Give your brain the chance to train its spatial abilities ? use them or lose them.

Of course, you need to know which direction north is for this to work. Thankfully, you can quickly find north using shadows or your wristwatch. It's also worth noting this is a great trick for when people ask you for directions. If you're stopped on the street in your hometown, orient yourself north before offering up direction advice.

Sea Change: Apple Guts Textbook Publishing

shutterstock_77959174The days of the $500 college textbook bills are, it seems, over. With Apple's announcement of iBooks 2, the world of textbooks is changed forever. Education is a hard nut to crack. There are bright spots and clever new ideas, but technology hasn't quite figured out how to do a better job than the "old ways." That's why Apple's decision to launch iBooks 2 and the attendant editing tools is so important: it tears down a number of entrenched technologies while maintaining the scaffolding of familiarity. It leaves the stuff that works and saves the schools, students, and parents money and time. In short, it stabs the publishing industry while it embraces it, ensuring that its old methods are no longer profitable but offering it new tools to go forward. Whether they survive the initial thrust, though, is anyone's guess.

Avalanche of reactions at the origin of life

Thursday, January 19, 2012

Volcanic-hydrothermal flow channels offer a chemically unique environment, which at first glance appears hostile to life. It is defined by cracks in the crust of the earth, through which water flows, laden with volcanic gases are contacting a diversity of minerals. And yet ? it is precisely this extreme environment, where the two mechanisms could have emerged, which are at the root of all life: The multiplication of biomolecules (reproduction) and the emergence of new biomolecules on the basis of previously formed biomolecules (evolution).

At the outset of this concatenation of reactions that led eventually to the formation of cellular forms of life there are only a few amino acids, which are formed from volcanic gases by mineral catalysis. Akin to a domino stone that triggers a whole avalanche, these first biomolecules stimulate not only their own further synthesis but also the production of wholly new biomolecules. "In this manner life begins by necessity in accordance with pre-established laws of chemistry and in a pre-determined direction", declares G?nter W?chtersh?user, honorary professor for evolutionary biochemistry at the University of Regensburg. He developed the mechanism of a self-generating metabolism ? theoretically, alas, an experimental demonstration has been lacking so far.

Now, scientists around Claudia Huber and Wolfgang Eisenreich, at the Chair of Biochemistry in the Department of Chemistry at the TUM in close cooperation with W?chtersh?user, managed for the first time to demonstrate experimentally the possibility of such a self-stimulating mechanism. A catalyst consisting of compounds of the transition metals nickel, cobalt or iron has the lead role in these reactions. It provides not only for the formation of the first biomolecules, but it also initiates the concatenation of reactions. The reason: The biomolecules just newly formed from the volcanic gases engage the center of the transition metal catalyst to enable further chemical reactions bringing forth wholly new biomolecules. "This coupling between the catalyst and an organic reaction product is the first step", explains W?chtersh?user. "Life arises, if subsequently a whole cascade of further couplings takes place, and this primordial life leads eventually to the formation of genetic material and of the first cells".

The scientists simulated in their experiments the conditions of volcanic-hydrothermal flow channels and established an aqueous-organometallic system that produces a whole suite of different biomolecules, among them the amino acids glycin and alanin. Here the carbon source was provided by a cyano compound and the reducing agent by carbon monoxide. Nickel compounds turned out to be the most effective catalysts in these experiments. The scientists then added the products glycin and alanin to another system, that generated again two new biomolecules. The result: The two amino acids increased the productivity oft he second system by a factor of five.

In future experiments the scientists intend to recreate more precisely the conditions of volcanic-hydrothermal systems, wherein life could have arisen billions of years ago. "For this purpose we simulate first certain stages in the development of a volcanic-hydrothermal flow system in order to determine essential parameters", explains W?chtersh?user. "Only thereafter we may engage in a rational construction of a flow reactor".

The results of the scientists around W?chtersh?user and Eisenreich show that an origin and evolution of life in hot water of volcanic flow ducts is feasible. The results reveal advantages of the theory compared to other approaches. Within the flow ducts temperature, pressure and pH change along the flow path, and thereby a graded spectrum of conditions is offered that is appropriate for all stages of early evolution up to the formation of genetic material (RNA/DNA).

The most important property of the system is its autonomy: As opposed to the notion of a cool prebiotic both, the first metabolism was not dependent on accidental events or an accumulation of essential components over thousands of years. As soon as the first domino stone is toppled, the others will follow automatically. The origin of life proceeds along definite trajectories, pre-established by the rules of chemistry ? a chemically determined process giving rise to the tree of all forms of life.

Study pinpoints and plugs mechanism of AML cancer cell escape

Thursday, January 19, 2012

A study published this week in the journal Leukemia identifies a mechanism that acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells use to evade chemotherapy ? and details how to close this escape route.

"Introducing chemotherapy to cells is like putting a curve in front of a speeding car," says Christopher Porter, MD, investigator at the University of Colorado Cancer Center and assistant professor of pediatrics at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. "Cells that can put on the brakes make it around the corner and cells that can't speed off the track."

Porter and colleagues collaborated with James DeGregori, PhD, CU Cancer Center investigator and professor of biochemistry and molecular genetics at the CU School of Medicine to define a molecular braking process that AML cells use to survive the curves of chemotherapy. They also showed that when this molecular brake is removed, AML cells (but not their healthy neighbors) die on the corners.

The discovery of this escape route and how to plug it provides hope for survival for a greater proportion of the estimated 12,950 people diagnosed with AML every year in the United States.

The group's findings rely on the relatively new technique of functional genomic screening of AML cells, accomplished by the CU Cancer Center Functional Genomics Shared Resource at the University of Colorado Boulder.

Using techniques they developed, the group turned off a different gene in each of a population of AML cells all at once. Then they hit all cells with chemotherapy traditionally used for AML. The goal: to see which genes, when turned off, would make the cells especially susceptible to chemo.

In this study, which generated over 30 million data points, cells that lacked a gene to make something called WEE1 died in disproportionate numbers. When you turn off WEE1, cancer cells die.

"WEE1 is the brakes," Porter says. "With chemotherapy we introduce DNA damage in cancer cells ? we push them toward the curve hopefully at a greater rate than healthy cells. If WEE1 is there, cancer cells can round the curve. Without it, they flip."

Hidden in Porter's words is an element that makes this an especially exciting finding: AML cells may be more dependent than are healthy cells on WEE1. And so when you inhibit WEE1, you strip the brakes from cancer cells but not their healthy neighbors, killing AML cells but leaving healthy cells able to corner on rails.

"I'm optimistic that this will eventually lead to a therapeutic regimen that allows us to target AML cells that have escaped conventional therapies," Porter says.

Porter calls the team's initial results combining a drug that inhibits WEE1 with chemotherapy in mouse models of AML, "extremely promising."

"In light of these data, we are already early in the clinical trial planning process," Porter says.

Perry likely endorsing Gingrich for president: sources (Reuters)

AUSTIN, Texas (Reuters) ? Texas Governor Rick Perry is dropping out of the race for the Republican presidential nomination, and is likely to endorse Newt Gingrich, two Perry campaign sources said on Thursday.

Perry has scheduled a news conference in North Charleston, S.C., for 11 a.m. EST.

Perry led polls of the Republican candidates after he jumped into the race in August, but committed a series of gaffes on the campaign trail and in debates. He faded to the back of the pack of contenders to face President Barack Obama, a Democrat, in November's election.

Perry finished in fifth place in the Iowa caucuses on January 3, and in sixth place in the New Hampshire primary on January 10.

Polls of voters in South Carolina, which holds its primary contest on Saturday, showed that Perry had about 5 percent of the vote.

With former U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Gingrich rising in recent polls of likely Republican voters, a Perry endorsement could help him gain on former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, who won the New Hampshire primary, came a close second in Iowa and leads in South Carolina, according to polls.

App helps teenager stop burglary suspect (Appolicious)

Find My iPhone is pretty handy app for fans of Apple?s iOS platform. Made available to all users through iCloud as part of iOS 5, the app allows users to track their devices when they?re lost or stolen ? and on more than one occasion, they?ve stopped real robbers.

According to a report from The Seattle Times, Find My iPhone was responsible for recovery of thousands in stolen electronic equipment, after a teenager used the software to locate a stolen iPhone and lot of other stolen goods around it.

The home of 14-year-old Max Malkin and his parents was robbed Tuesday, but the loss of about $4,000 in electronic equipment only lasted the family around 15 minutes after police arrived on the scene. That?s because Malkin, armed with a laptop and his mother?s iPhone in the hands of an alleged thief, was able to track the movements of the suspect and report them to police.

One officer stayed with the Malkins in their home to act as ?quarterback,? relaying information to officers in the field as Max was able to track the whereabouts of the thief using Find My iPhone. Eventually, the cops caught up to the suspect in a bus station. To seal the deal and put the finger on the culprit, Max called the phone ? which started to ring in the duffle bag of the suspect.

The whole investigation lasted roughly 15 minutes, The Seattle Times reports.

Max Malkin?s story is a shining example of why all iOS owners should get comfortable with Find My iPhone. Setting up the app takes only a few seconds ? you log in with your Apple ID and you?re pretty much done ? and tracking it is easy to do from any computer connected to the Internet with the help of iCloud.com. From there, Apple?s service brings up a map that shows your iPhone or iPad?s whereabouts, as well as the option to send a message to the person who found the device and even remotely wipe its data or lock it. The app is great if you happen to lose track of a device, and if it?s stolen, it has its uses ? as Max Malkin discovered.

You can quickly and easily set up Find My iPhone with the app and then delete it, since all you need to do is register your device with iCloud. It?s not foolproof, of course, since the phone needs to be actively connected to a Wi-Fi or 3G signal, but for all the good that Find My iPhone can do in times of emergency, every iOS user should take a second and set it up. If you need more incentive, just check out a few of the Find My iPhone reviews on iTunes; several of them tell stories of the app saving money, property and lives.
