Protesters in Washington defiant as deadline passes (Reuters)
WASHINGTON (Reuters) ? Defiant anti-Wall Street protesters in Washington vowed to dig in on Monday as a police midday deadline for them to remove their belongings from two camps within sight of the White House passed without incident.
In its first challenge to the demonstrators, U.S. National Park Service said last week it would enforce a ban at noon against sleeping in McPherson Square and Freedom Plaza, where "Occupy" protesters have camped out since October.
It ordered sleeping bags, pillows and other gear removed but said tents may remain as a protest symbol if flaps stayed open. Protesters at McPherson Square set up a huge tent off of a statue in the middle of the one-block square surrounded by office and government buildings - a makeshift "Tent of Dreams" to protest the order.
"The people united will never be defeated," participants chanted on Monday.
While similar "Occupy" protests against social and economic inequality in other U.S. cities have been shut down by police, the demonstrations in the capital have survived an unusually warm winter and a permissive approach by federal authorities reluctant to provoke confrontation.
Despite their small numbers, the Washington protesters enjoy outsized media attention because their camps are just blocks from President Barack Obama's official residence and one is next to K Street, a wide thoroughfare that is home to many lobbyists and is synonymous with corporate influence in the capital.
Fears of clashes mounted after police used a stun gun Sunday on one protester, who was later arrested. The deadline in Washington follows a new burst of unrest at "Occupy" protests in Oakland, California, over the weekend.
Some protesters interviewed pledged peaceful resistance.
"We're not going to fight but we're just going to make it difficult," said Jake Roszack, 22, from New York, who had built a barricade of spare wood, tents and cardboard, around his personal belongings and those of his friends.
More than 100 passersby, journalists and others gathered at McPherson Square to see what action authorities would take but the noon deadline passed without police intervention.
ARRESTS ON CASE-BY-CASE BASIS
A U.S. Park Police spokesman, David Schlosser, said arrests would be made on a case-by-case basis but that none had been made so far. "We're very pleased that we're getting some voluntary compliance," he said.
At McPherson Square, participants turned their tents and sleeping bags into symbols of protest using donated art supplies. One tent read, "We're still here." A sign on a bench read "Eviction?? Bring it!!"
Inspired by the Arab Spring, "Occupy" demonstrations began in New York City in September and spread across the United States and to other countries.
Protesters are targeting the growing income gap, corporate greed and what they see as unfair tax structure favoring the richest 1 percent of Americans. Protesters in Washington also cite other pet causes, including joblessness, big agriculture and the homeless, some of whom sleep in the park.
The U.S. capital, site of historic demonstrations over the decades, had so far done little to deter the protesters, drawing a rebuke from congressional Republicans who accuse the Obama administration of sympathizing with the groups and refusing to enforce park rules - a charge denied by park officials.
The National Park Service regulates both parks and forbids camping on federal land not designated as a campground.
The protests have also has irked local city officials who are concerned about squalor, rats and trash.
Protesters had issued multiple calls on Twitter for reinforcements from New York, Boston, Philadelphia and other cities, but so far no large groups had arrived.
The number of protesters in the Occupy DC camps fluctuates, but city officials estimate there are less than 100 in total.
The Occupy protests had faded over the last few weeks but flared anew on Saturday when violence broke out in Oakland, California and 400 demonstrators were arrested during a night of skirmishes with police. Oakland has become a flashpoint of the protests and the arrests there were one of the largest mass detentions since the movement began.
Obama has seized on the debate to call for higher taxes on the richest Americans and has made economic inequality a central theme of his administration and bid for re-election.

Etta James remembered as triumphant trailblazer (omg!)
GARDENA, California (AP) ? Rhythm & blues legend Etta James was remembered at a service Saturday attended by hundreds of friends, family and fans as a woman who triumphed against all odds to break down cultural and musical barriers in a style that was unfailingly honest.
The Rev. Al Sharpton, a civil rights activist, eulogized James in a rousing speech, describing her remarkable rise from poverty and pain to become a woman whose music became an enduring anthem for weddings and commercials.
Perhaps most famously, President Barack Obama and the first lady shared their first inaugural ball dance to a version of the song sung by Beyonce, who portrayed James in the film "Cadillac Records." Sharpton on Saturday opened his remarks by reading a statement from the president.
"Etta will be remembered for her legendary voice and her contributions to our nation's musical heritage," Obama's statement read.
The Grammy-winning singer died Jan. 20 after battling leukemia and other ailments, including dementia. She had retreated from public life in recent years, but on Saturday her legacy was on display as mourners of all ages and races converged on the City of Refuge church in Gardena, south of downtown Los Angeles.
Among the stars performing tributes to James were Stevie Wonder and Christina Aguilera, who told the gathering that she has included "At Last" in every concert she's performed as a tribute to her musical inspiration.
Wonder performed three songs, including "Shelter In the Rain" and a harmonica solo. James' rose-draped casket was on display, surrounded by wreaths and floral arrangements and pictures of the singer.
Sharpton, who met James when he was an up-and-coming preacher, credited her with helping break down racial barriers through her music.
"She was able to get us on the same rhythms and humming the same ballads and understanding each other's melodies way before we could even use the same hotels," Sharpton said, referring to the era when racial segregation was the law in many U.S. states.
He said James' fame and influence would have been unthinkable to a woman with James' background ? growing up in a broken home during segregation and at times battling her own demons.
"The genius of Etta James is she flipped the script," Sharpton said, alluding to her struggles with addiction, which she eventually overcame.
"She waited until she turned her pain into power," he said, adding that it turned her story away from being a tragic one into one of triumph.
"You beat 'em Etta," Sharpton said in concluding his eulogy. "At last. At last. At last!"
The assembly roared to their feet, and would again stand to applaud performances by Wonder and Aguilera, who filled the sanctuary with their voices.
"Out of all the singers that I've ever heard, she was the one that cut right to my soul and spoke to me," Aguilera said before her performance.
Throughout the service, a portrait of James as a woman who beat the odds in pursuit of her dreams repeatedly emerged.
"Etta is special to me and for me, because she represents the life, the triumphs, the tribulations of a lot of black women all over this world," said U.S. Rep Maxine Waters, a California Democrat.
"It does not matter who sang 'At Last' before or after Etta. It does not matter when it was sung, or where it was sung. 'At Last' was branded by Etta, the raunchy diva ? that's her signature and we will always remember her."
James won four Grammy Awards, including a lifetime achievement honor, and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993. In her decades-long career, she became revered for her passionate, soulful singing voice.
She scored her first hit when she was just a teenager with the suggestive "Roll With Me, Henry," which had to be changed to "The Wallflower" in order to get airplay. Her 1967 album, "Tell Mama," became one of the most highly regarded soul albums of all time, a mix of rock and gospel music.
She rebounded from a heroin addiction to see her career surge after performing the national anthem at the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles. She won her first Grammy Award a decade later, and two more in 2003 and 2004.
James is survived by her husband of 42 years, Artis Mills, and two sons, Donto and Sametto James.
"Mom, I love you," Donto James said during brief remarks. "When I get to the gates, can you please be there for me?"

Egyptians vote in Upper House elections on Sunday (Reuters)
CAIRO (Reuters) ? Egyptians vote Sunday in the first stage of elections for the upper house of parliament, with Islamists seeking to repeat the success they enjoyed in elections for the lower house.
Voting for the Shura council will be held over two stages ending in the middle of February and follow a lower house election that was Egypt's most democratic since military officers overthrew the king in 1952.
The series of elections for both houses of parliament are the first since Hosni Mubarak was toppled from the presidency on February 11 last year by a popular uprising.
The Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamist group banned during his rule, won 47 percent of the seats in the lower house, more than any other party.
"The Shura council elections are as important as the People's Assembly (lower house) elections," said Hussein Ibrahim, a member of the Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party and head of its parliamentary bloc.
"Members of both chambers will choose the committee that will draft the constitution, the milestone of Egypt's democratic transition," he said.
Under an interim constitution, parliament is responsible for picking the 100-strong assembly that will write a new constitution to replace the one that helped keep Mubarak in power for three decades.
Elections for the Shura Council have traditionally been less intense than lower house due to the breadth of constituencies that makes it harder for voters to know their candidates.
The Shura chamber's powers are limited and it cannot block legislation in the lower house. However, its members must be consulted before lower house MPs pass any bill.
Ninety of the Shura council's 270 seats will be decided in the first round of voting to be held Sunday and Monday, with run-offs on February 7. Another 90 will be determined by voting on February 14 and 15, with run-offs on February 22.
The remaining 90 will be appointed by Egypt's next president, expected to be elected in June according a transition timetable drawn up by the military council to whom Mubarak handed power nearly a year ago.
"The elected part of the Shura council will convene without the appointed seats until presidential elections are held and the new president appoints the other 90 members," an official from the body overseeing the election told Reuters.

Michigan Voters Don't Favor Legalizing Marijuana (ContributorNetwork)
Michigan voters passed the Michigan Medical Marijuana Act in 2008 with nearly 63 percent of the vote. On the November ballot, Michigan voters might be asked to consider legalizing marijuana for general use. According to a recent poll, residents are far more cautious about that type of law, reports the Detroit Free Press. Here are details about the legalized marijuana petition drive and how residents are responding to it.
* The Committee for a Safer Michigan (Detroit News. Abel said in light of enforcement issues and confusion about its parameters, legalization advocates want to scrap the law. The repeal would make cultivation, manufacture and distribution of marijuana available for anyone over 21 years old who is not incarcerated. Driving or operating machinery under the influence of marijuana would be subject to the same laws as drunk driving.
* According to Michigan's Licensing and Regulatory Affairs office there are about 130,000 registered medical marijuana users. According to Repeal Today , the Michigan Medical Marijuana Program has only made matters worse for those who are suffering and need the drug. Marijuana restrictions haven't prevented children from accessing, have created expensive legal battles and have made it only accessible by drug cartels.
* The petition drive will need 322,609 signatures by July 9 to get it on the November ballot. Supporters say though no state has completely legalized marijuana, presidential candidate Ron Paul has introduced a bill that would allow states to make their own laws about it.
* A poll by EPIC-MRA of Lansing shows more conservative numbers of support, says the Detroit Free Press. 45 percent of respondents said they would favor legalizing pot and 50 percent were against it. The rest was undecided. 43 percent of voters younger than 40 supported decriminalizing marijuana; 55 percent of voters ages 50 to 55 favored it; among voters older than 65, 40 percent agreed.
* In all Michigan counties but Wayne, voters oppose legalizing marijuana.

Exiting watchdog sees flaws in SEC's rulewriting (Reuters)
WASHINGTON, DC (Reuters) ? In his final act before departing the Securities and Exchange Commission on Friday, the agency's inspector general, David Kotz, criticized how the agency analyzes the economic impact of some of its Dodd-Frank rules.
Kotz's criticism, contained in a report, could have ramifications for the SEC, which has lost several court battles over the years because of flaws in how it demonstrates that the benefits of a rule outweigh its costs.
"We found that the extent of quantitative discussion of cost-benefit analyses varied among rulemakings," Kotz wrote in his report. "Based on our examination of several Dodd-Frank Act rulemakings, the review found that the SEC sometimes used multiple baselines in its cost-benefit analyses that were ambiguous or internally inconsistent."
Last year, U.S. business groups successfully convinced a federal appeals court to overturn one of the SEC's Dodd-Frank rules that aimed to empower shareholders to more easily nominate directors to corporate boards.
In rejecting the rule, the court said the agency failed to properly weigh the economic consequences.
Some of the business groups, such as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, have since raised similar concerns with other rulemakings pending before the SEC.
Congress passed the Dodd-Frank act in 2010 to more closely police financial markets and institutions after the 2007-2009 financial crisis. The legislation gives the SEC responsibility to write roughly 100 new rules.
Although the SEC is not subject to an express statutory requirement to conduct a cost-benefit analysis of its rules, other laws do require the agency to consider the effects of its rules on capital formation, competition and efficiency.
In addition, the SEC must also follow federal rulemaking procedures, such as providing the public with an opportunity to comment on its proposals.
This is the second report Kotz has issued looking at the quality of the SEC's cost-benefit analysis.
Both reports were issued after certain members of the Senate Banking Committee, including ranking Republican Richard Shelby, voiced concerns about whether regulators were adequately examining the economic impact of Dodd-Frank rules.
To determine how well the SEC is faring, Kotz's office retained Albert Kyle, a finance professor at the University of Maryland's Robert H. Smith School of Business, to help carry out the review.
Friday's report covered a sample of Dodd-Frank rulemakings, including a rule allowing shareholders a non-binding vote on compensation, several asset-backed securities rules and two proposals pertaining to the reporting of security-based swap data.
Kotz's report was critical of the agency in a number of areas.
In one instance, the report cites a memo in which former General Counsel David Becker gave his opinion that the SEC should do thorough cost-benefit analyses on rules that are not explicitly required by Congress.
Rules mandated by Congress, however, generally would not need the same level of cost-benefit research, the memo said.
The report suggested that the agency should reconsider these guidelines, or else it risks "not fulfilling the essential purposes of such analyses."
SEC management, in a written response to the report, disagreed with that point.
"We believe Professor Kyle's opinion fails to appreciate both the practice limitations on the scope of cost-benefit a regulator can conduct, and the distinct roles of Congress and administrative agencies," they said.
"We think it is entirely sensible ... for the staff to focus its attention and the commission's limited resources on matters that the commission has the authority to decide."
Kotz made other recommendations, including using a single consistent baseline in the cost-benefit analysis process and having economists provide more input.
SEC spokesman John Nester declined to comment beyond the SEC comments in the report.

A confident Romney zings Gingrich in Republican debate No. 19
MItt Romney was ready to answer questions about his wealth and to rebut rival Newt Gingrich during Thursday's Republican debate, the last before the Florida primary on Tuesday.
Episode 19 in the Great Republican Debate-a-thon may be most remembered for its spirited discussion of moon colonies. But it was Mitt Romney?s sharp performance that won the night in the last debate before Florida?s crucial primary next Tuesday.
Skip to next paragraphMr. Romney delivered his most confident answer to date on his wealth ? that it is a source of pride, not a reason to apologize. He zinged his top rival for the Republican presidential nomination, Newt Gingrich, over an ad on immigration that he called ?repulsive.? And he was ready with a comeback when Mr. Gingrich attacked him for having investments in Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Goldman Sachs: Gingrich, he pointed out, has investments in mutual funds that invest in Fannie and Freddie.
Gingrich backed down. The audience, which in previous debates had energized the former House speaker, applauded most for Romney.
The debate in Jacksonville, Fla., capped the week with the highest stakes to date for Romney, the former governor of Massachusetts. He lost last Saturday?s primary to Gingrich by 12 percentage points, and needed a strong showing Thursday in a bid to retake momentum. The latest polls of Florida Republicans, taken after South Carolina and before the debate, show Romney may already be on his way: He has reversed his decline and is back on top.
Earlier this week, after facing intense pressure to release his tax returns, Romney finally obliged and put out two years? worth. The confirmation that he had money invested abroad ? including in a Swiss account ? will certainly show up in President Obama?s arsenal against the wealthy former businessman, if Romney is the nominee. But on Thursday, Romney pivoted off Gingrich?s populism and found his voice on a matter that his supporters have been urging him to address in positive terms: his vast wealth.
?I'm proud of being successful; I'm proud of being in the free enterprise system that creates jobs for other people,? Romney said. ?I'm not going to run from that.?
Romney also got an assist from debate moderator Wolf Blitzer of CNN. When Gingrich launched into his usual tactic of attacking a question, Mr. Blitzer didn?t back down, as CNN?s John King had a week ago during a debate in South Carolina.
Blitzer asked Gingrich if he was satisfied with Romney?s level of transparency over his tax returns. Gingrich called it ?a nonsense question.?
?But Mr. Speaker, you made an issue of this this week when you said that he lives in a world of Swiss bank and Cayman Island bank accounts,? Blitzer said.

Ethiopia: Journalists, politicians get jail time (AP)
ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia ? An Ethiopian judge on Thursday handed down prison sentences ranging from 14 years to life to three journalists and two politicians.
The five were arrested last year and charged last week under Ethiopia's controversial anti-terrorism laws. Ethiopian officials had said they were involved in planning attacks on infrastructure, telecommunications and power lines.
Judge Endeshaw Adane gave the verdicts Thursday.
Ethiopia's federal high court found Elias Kifle, editor-in-chief of a U.S.-based opposition website, guilty of terrorism. He was sentenced to life imprisonment. Kifle was tried in absentia.
The judge gave prison sentences of 14 years for Wubshet Taye, deputy editor-in-chief of the recently closed-down weekly Awramba Times, and Reeyot Alemu, a columnist of independent weekly Feteh.
Opposition politician Zerihun Gebre Egziabher was sentenced to 17 years in prison, and the other opposition member, Hirut Kifle, was sentenced to 19 years.
After hearing his punishment Zerihun turned to the judge and said: "I am innocent and I will prove it."
Reeyot's lawyer, Molla Zegeye, said his client will appeal. He also said he had never expected the sentence to be this severe.
"She didn't commit a terrorism crime. She is a professional journalist," he said of Reeyot.
The maximum sentence for terrorism under Ethiopia's anti terrorism laws is capital punishment.
International rights groups have been calling for the release of the journalists.
Amnesty International's Ethiopia researcher, Claire Beston, said shortly after the sentencing that the five are jailed for political reasons and must be released "immediately and unconditionally."
"There is no evidence that they are guilty of any criminal wrongdoing," she said. "They are being imprisoned on the basis of their legitimate exercise of freedom of expression and involvement with calls for peaceful protest to take place."
Leslie Lefkow, Africa researcher for the U.S.-based Human Rights Watch said: "This is a tragedy for these individuals, a miscarriage of justice and a dismal reflection of the state of the Ethiopian judiciary. It appears to be impossible to get a fair trial in a political case in Ethiopia today."
Ethiopia recently found two Swedish reporters guilty of supporting terrorism and sentenced them to eleven years imprisonment.
In a separate court case, blogger Eskinder Nega, who had called for peaceful protest, faces the maximum punishment, a death penalty sentence, after a judge on Jan. 23 found him guilty on terror charges.
"I'm innocent," he yelled at reporters outside the courtroom after the hearing.
Ethiopia has arrested close to 200 people, among them journalists and opposition politicians and members, under last year's anti-terrorism proclamation.
According to the Committee to Protect Journalists, more journalists have fled Ethiopia than any other country in the world.

Pagano eager to start rebuilding the Colts
By MICHAEL MAROT
updated 6:41 p.m. ET Jan. 26, 2012
INDIANAPOLIS - Colts owner Jim Irsay expects Chuck Pagano to bring more than tough talk to Indianapolis.
He wants results.
A day after hiring Pagano as his new coach, Irsay introduced the former Baltimore Ravens' defensive coordinator as the man asked to rebuild the franchise.
"I really believe Chuck is bringing a toughness, the leadership we need at this point for the franchise," Irsay said.
The 51-year-old Pagano said the hiring had been a "whirlwind," since the Ravens lost only a few days ago in the AFC championship game.
"Words can't describe the emotions that I'm going through right now and the feelings," he said. "Coming off probably the most devastating loss that I've ever been a part of in the AFC championship game and to go in that locker room and see those faces and we all know how hard it is to get to that stage and to see the tears. It's an all-time low, and the last thing I ever expected came across my table and now I sit here at an all-time high."
Clearly, Pagano's job won't be easy.
The first-time head coach will be working with a first-time general manager, Ryan Grigson, and the next big move will be deciding what to do with four-time league MVP Peyton Manning, who missed the entire season after having his latest neck surgery in September. The Colts must play Manning $28 million by March 8 or risk losing him as an unrestricted free agent.
In an interview earlier this week, Manning explained that the biggest overhaul of his career had created an uncomfortable environment at team headquarters -- and that he had not yet spoken with Irsay about his future.
It is one of many questions the Colts face in a tumultuous offseason that has already claimed the jobs of Bill and Chris Polian, Jim Caldwell and most of Caldwell's coaching staff.
Indy landed the No. 1 draft pick by nose-diving to a 2-14 record last season, its worst record in two decades. Most expect the pick to be used on the team's quarterback of the future, presumably Stanford's Andrew Luck. There have been concerns about whether Manning and Luck could co-exist on the same team next season.
Fans have even more immediate questions.
They want to know if Pagano, who ran a 3-4 defense in Baltimore, will make the switch in Indianapolis.
"I think he's a defensive-minded coach with fire and passion," said John Pagano, the Chargers' defensive coordinator and brother of Indy's new coach. "He's going to bring a different energy to the city of Indianapolis. Me being there before, it was kind of the same situation when coach (Jim) Mora came in there. It's almost the same situation flipped 11 years ago. We had the opportunity to draft No. 1 where we took Peyton Manning. It's very similar. It's not weird, but it's surreal."
Pagano spent three years as the Ravens' secondary coach before replacing Greg Mattison as Baltimore's defensive coordinator a year ago. The Ravens ranked third in total defense and allowed the third-fewest points in the NFL last season, advancing to Sunday's conference championship game, where they lost to New England.
The Wyoming graduate and former strong safety for the Cowboys began his coaching career in 1984 as a graduate assistant at Southern California and spent time at in the college ranks at Boise State, UNLV, East Carolina and Miami before joining Cleveland to coach the secondary. In 2005-06, he was defensive backs job at Oakland, then served as defensive coordinator at North Carolina before joining the Ravens when John Harbaugh became head coach four years ago.

Design Museum's aspirations for inspiration
Jessica Hamzelou, contributor
(Image: Amelia Webb)
London?s Design Museum has long been the iconic home of innovative design and engineering in the UK. Soon, the museum that showcased the likes of Yves B?har?s sustainable packaging for Puma will soon be packing up and leaving its home on the South Bank of the river Thames for pastures new, with the aim to put design and engineering once more on the map.
A team of architects are already at work planning the redevelopment of the museum?s new home, the Commonwealth Institute - a 1960s building abandoned in recent years and falling into decay. The big move will happen in 2014, by which point the space will have been redesigned so that visitors can take in pretty much the entire building from wherever they stand inside it. And, being three times the size of the current venue, it will have a lot more to offer.
The Commonwealth Institute resides in Kensington, in an area known as Albertopolis, a region famous for its cultural and educational sites. The design museum will be rubbing shoulders with the Victoria & Albert Museum, Royal Albert Hall, London?s Science and Natural History Museums and Imperial College, amongst others.
?We want to do for design what the Tate did for modern art,? says Deyan Sudjic, director of the museum. His vision is of a place that informs visitors how things are made, and why. ?The world is facing more problems that can be solved with design,? he says. And he hopes that the reinvigorated museum will inspire a new generation of designers and engineers.
Over 20 years after the museum?s first exhibition, founder Sir Terence Conran - the man who helped convince Margaret Thatcher to put design into the UK school curriculum - thinks that the world of design has changed. ?If I were leaving [art college] now I would team up with an engineer from Imperial College and try to make things of quality and ingenuity,? he explains.
Good design, Conran says, is key to improving a population?s quality of life. He hopes that the new museum?s site will help engender some of the passion for design held by other countries.?If you go to Scandinavian countries, design is part of their DNA,? Conran says. ?It?s not here in the UK, but it should be.?
For Jonathan Ive, Apple?s senior vice president of design, the Design Museum crucial to his design education. ?Design ultimately defines so much of our life and culture,? he says. ?Good design is terribly important, and the Design Museum has played a critical role in the last 20 years, and it?s role will be even more important in the next 20 years.?

Azeri company plans world's tallest building (AP)
BAKU, Azerbaijan ? A property developer in oil-rich Azerbaijan says the company is aiming to construct the world's tallest building on a chain of artificial islands in the Caspian Sea.
Kana Guluzade, marketing director of the Avesta company, said Tuesday the plans for the complex include a business center soaring to 1050 meters (3,645 feet), which would be 27 percent taller than the current champ, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai.
The tower initially had been planned at 560 meters (1,837 feet), he said.
The project is to include 41 islands about 25 kilometers (15 miles) south of the capital Baku, including hotels and apartment buildings.
Guluzade said construction of the complex, called Khazar Islands, is to begin at the end of 2013.

Federal Laboratory Consortium award given to PNNL
RICHLAND, Wash. The Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory is being recognized for bringing a lab-developed technology that improves research sample analysis to the marketplace.
The Federal Laboratory Consortium announced today that PNNL is receiving a 2012 award for Excellence in Technology Transfer. The consortium is a nationwide network that encourages federal laboratories to transfer lab-developed technologies to commercial markets. PNNL has been honored by the FLC more than any other federal laboratory with this award, collecting 75 awards since the program began in 1984. The award will be presented May 3 at the consortium's annual meeting in Pittsburgh, Penn.
Improving protein investigations with new, durable electrospray tips
Scientists can better understand larger biological molecules such as proteins with the help of a tiny glass tube, called an emitter, that's used in electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. PNNL scientists developed a new way to manufacture emitters that is being used by Michrom Bioresources, Inc. of Auburn, Calif. Mass spectrometer instruments equipped with the improved emitters can advance research related to human health, the environment, petrochemicals, drug development and more.
Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry examines macromolecules and other chemicals of interest by mixing them in a liquid and using an electrically charged emitter to turn the liquid sample into charged particles that are directed into a mass spectrometer. Traditionally, the tapered ends of emitters are made by heating a glass capillary and pulling until the end forms a fine tip. But this method can also make the capillary's narrow opening which is as wide as a horse hair even smaller at the tip. This often causes particles to get stuck in the tip, which produces unreliable readings and costly instrument downtime. PNNL's process forms the tapered end by etching capillary tubes in a hydrofluoric acid solution. The method consistently creates an external taper without changing the capillary's internal diameter, which allows emitters to spray aerosols at extremely low, controlled rates without clogging. This enables more of the sample to be analyzed by the mass spectrometer, which helps scientists learn more about the molecules they study.
PNNL licensed the patents behind the technique to Michrom in a matter of months after helping the company evaluate the new tips. Michrom began selling the new emitters as part of its CaptiveSprayTM ion source in October 2010. Six months later, Michrom was acquired by Bruker Corporation, which could expand opportunities for the technology's use.

Federal Laboratory Consortium award given to PNNL
RICHLAND, Wash. The Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory is being recognized for bringing a lab-developed technology that improves research sample analysis to the marketplace.
The Federal Laboratory Consortium announced today that PNNL is receiving a 2012 award for Excellence in Technology Transfer. The consortium is a nationwide network that encourages federal laboratories to transfer lab-developed technologies to commercial markets. PNNL has been honored by the FLC more than any other federal laboratory with this award, collecting 75 awards since the program began in 1984. The award will be presented May 3 at the consortium's annual meeting in Pittsburgh, Penn.
Improving protein investigations with new, durable electrospray tips
Scientists can better understand larger biological molecules such as proteins with the help of a tiny glass tube, called an emitter, that's used in electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. PNNL scientists developed a new way to manufacture emitters that is being used by Michrom Bioresources, Inc. of Auburn, Calif. Mass spectrometer instruments equipped with the improved emitters can advance research related to human health, the environment, petrochemicals, drug development and more.
Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry examines macromolecules and other chemicals of interest by mixing them in a liquid and using an electrically charged emitter to turn the liquid sample into charged particles that are directed into a mass spectrometer. Traditionally, the tapered ends of emitters are made by heating a glass capillary and pulling until the end forms a fine tip. But this method can also make the capillary's narrow opening which is as wide as a horse hair even smaller at the tip. This often causes particles to get stuck in the tip, which produces unreliable readings and costly instrument downtime. PNNL's process forms the tapered end by etching capillary tubes in a hydrofluoric acid solution. The method consistently creates an external taper without changing the capillary's internal diameter, which allows emitters to spray aerosols at extremely low, controlled rates without clogging. This enables more of the sample to be analyzed by the mass spectrometer, which helps scientists learn more about the molecules they study.
PNNL licensed the patents behind the technique to Michrom in a matter of months after helping the company evaluate the new tips. Michrom began selling the new emitters as part of its CaptiveSprayTM ion source in October 2010. Six months later, Michrom was acquired by Bruker Corporation, which could expand opportunities for the technology's use.

Demi Moore seeks treatment for exhaustion
LOS ANGELES (AP) ? A spokeswoman for Demi Moore says the actress is seeking professional help to treat her exhaustion and improve her health.
Publicist Carrie Gordon says the decision is due to the stresses in Moore's life, and she looks forward to getting well.
Gordon did not release any other details about the nature or location of Moore's treatment.
The past few months have been rocky for Moore. She released a statement in November announcing she had decided to end her marriage to Ashton Kutcher following news of alleged infidelity. The two were known to publicly share their affection for one another via Twitter.
Moore still has a Twitter account under the name mrskutcher but has not posted any messages since Jan. 7.

HBT: Pineda-to-Yankees finally official
UPDATE: Montero passed his physical, so it?s now a done deal.
==========
The multi-player deal between the Yankees and Mariners headlined by Jesus Montero and Michael Pineda is moving closer to completion.
Montero was delayed from taking a physical due to weather, plane and visa problems in his native Venezuela, but Larry Stone of the Seattle Times reports that the 22-year-old arrived in the United States yesterday and was en route to Seattle.
The Pacific Northwest was rocked by a pretty nasty winter storm this week, so there?s no guarantee Montero?s travel plans went off without a hitch. However, assuming no problems with his flight and scheduled physical, an official announcement could happen within the next day or two.
The deal between the Yankees and Mariners, which was agreed upon last Friday, will send Montero and right-hander Hector Noesi to Seattle for Pineda and prospect right-hander Jose Campos.

Severe Brain Injury When Young May Have Long-Term Effects (HealthDay)
MONDAY, Jan. 23 (HealthDay News) -- Although many people believe young children are extremely resilient after they are seriously hurt, the opposite may be true with traumatic brain injuries.
Two Australian studies looked at the impact of traumatic brain injury in children as young as 2 years, and found that these injuries affected cognitive function, IQ and even behavior for some time. However, the researchers also found that recovery from traumatic brain injury can continue for years after the initial injury. And, a child's home environment can positively influence recovery if the child lives in a stable, caring home.
"Many people think that the soft skull of a baby may give them some advantage because if they fall they are not likely to sustain a skull fracture. Also, because a baby's brain is growing so quickly, it seems like the brain may be able to fix an injury. In reality, the soft skull and growing brain of a baby put them at a greater risk of future problems," said the lead author of one of the studies, Louise Crowe, a postdoctoral research officer at the Murdoch Childrens Research Institute in Melbourne.
"Children with significant head injuries do recover, but they are generally slower to learn concepts, and some high-level skills are often too difficult for them," she added.
Results from both studies were released online Jan. 23 and are scheduled to appear in the February issue of Pediatrics.
By age 16, at least one in 30 children will experience a traumatic brain injury, according to background information in one of the studies. Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) occur after a blow or bump to the head, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Young children -- those under 4 years old -- are particularly at risk of experiencing a traumatic brain injury, according to the CDC. Such injuries can occur from a fall, a car accident, deliberate child abuse, sports or being hit with a moving object. Fortunately, most of these injuries aren't fatal, but about one-third of children who survive a TBI will have lasting damage, report the researchers.
Very few studies, however, have followed youngsters from the time of their injury through adolescence, to assess the full effect of the brain injury.
The first study looked at 40 children between the ages of 2 and 7 who had experienced a traumatic brain injury. They were compared to 16 healthy children. The children were examined 12 months, 30 months and 10 years after the injury, according to the study.
Not surprisingly, they found that children with the most severe injuries had the worst cognitive outcomes.
But, the news wasn't all bad. Initially, while the brain was recovering from the injury, the children didn't make significant developmental gains for about three years. However, after that period, and at least up until 10 years after the injury, the children began to make some age-appropriate developmental gains.
That means that even many years after an injury, interventions and therapies for these children may be effective, said the study's lead author, Vicki Anderson, a professor in critical care and neuroscience research at the Murdoch Institute.
"Although this does not suggest that children catch up to peers, it does imply that the gap does not widen during this period," she said.
This study also found that the home environment and relationships could make a difference in a child's recovery. More stable homes with less family conflict appeared to contribute to a child's recovery.
"It's difficult to predict outcome," said Anderson. "A quality home environment and access to appropriate rehabilitation is critical to maximize outcomes. Or, the young brain is plastic, and so the better the environment, the better the outcome."
The second study, led by Crowe, followed a group of 53 children who had sustained a traumatic brain injury before they were 3 years old, and 27 non-injured children. They followed up with these children when they were between 4 and 6 years old. The average time since the injury occurred was 40 months.
Children who had moderate-to-severe TBIs scored lower on IQ tests by about seven to 10 points, according to the study. Mild traumatic brain injuries didn't seem to significantly affect IQ. However, mild and moderate-to-severe TBIs were associated with an increased risk of behavior problems.
And, as with Anderson's study, this study also found that a child's environment has an effect on cognitive function and behavior after a brain injury.
"Children from cohesive family environments and children whose parents had lower levels of stress showed better recovery," Crowe said. "Why this is so is unclear, but it may be due to a parent spending more time with their children, and children also growing up in a less stressful environment."
One expert noted that the findings make an important point.
"We still don't understand all of the factors that affect outcomes. But, these studies do give us important data. We don't necessarily want to close the door on treating these children too soon. There may still be room for improvement over time, but there are persistent deficits," said Dr. Mandeep Tamber, an assistant professor of pediatric neurosurgery at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh.
Meanwhile, Crowe advised parents to be vigilant with young children. She said traumatic brain injuries can result from seemingly minor accidents, such as a baby rolling off of a bed or couch.

Stumping for Romney, Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell says character counts (Daily Caller)
CHARLESTON, S.C. ? Virginia Republican Gov. Bob McDonnell endorsed Mitt Romney?s campaign for president on Friday and told a rally of supporters that both character and values matter when selecting a nominee to run against President Obama.
McDonnell didn?t mention Romney?s rival, Newt Gingrich, by name in his remarks. But the Virginia governor?s comments come just hours after questions about Gingrich?s messy past with his ex-wife played a starring role in a televised debate here.
?Character counts and values matter in our people and in our leaders,? he said to applause.
?I am here to ask you to help elect a man of character and decency that loves the values of this nation.?
Voters in the Palmetto State head to the polls Saturday. While Romney was until recently leading in polls here, Gingrich surpassed the former Massachusetts governor in several polls released this week.
At Friday?s rally at the Charleston Area Convention Center, Romney also trotted out another high-profile supporter to energize supporters: South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley.
Both McDonnell and Haley are frequently mentioned as possible running mates for Romney.

Indonesian charged with blasphemy for atheist post (AP)
PADANG, Indonesia ? Indonesian police say a civil servant who posted "God does not exist" on Facebook faces a maximum penalty of five years behind bars for blasphemy.
Thirty-one-year-old Alexander Aan was taken into police custody Friday after his remarks triggered public outcry in West Sumatra province.
He was attacked by a mob on his way to work.
Indonesia, a predominantly Muslim nation of 240 million, recognizes the right to practice five other religions. But atheism is illegal.
Col. Chairul Azis, police chief in the West Sumatran district of Dharmasraya, says Aan was charged because he used the social networking site to spread beliefs that violate the law.
He says Aan also lied on his job application by claiming he was Muslim.

Pope hits out at `radical secularism' (AP)
VATICAN CITY ? Pope Benedict XVI says Roman Catholics in the U.S. need to understand the "grave threats" to their faith posed by what he calls radical secularism in the political and cultural arenas.
He addressed visiting U.S. bishops Thursday and used the same language in warning that attempts are being made to erode their religious freedom.
Benedict did not explicitly mention it, but the bishops have complained their religious freedom is eroding in the face of growing acceptance of gay marriage and attempts to marginalize faith. The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has recently formed a committee on protecting religious liberty and hired attorneys and a lobbyist to work on the issue.
The pope said many of the bishops have complained about attempts to deny conscientious objection with regard to cooperation in "intrinsically evil practices." U.S. church leaders have been pressing for a broader religious exception to part of President Barack Obama's health care overhaul that mandates private insurers pay for contraception. The Obama administration has not yet made a decision on the policy and the timing is uncertain.
Bishops also are pressing for broader religious exemptions in U.S. states that have legalized same-gender civil unions or marriage. The vast network of Catholic social services in the United States includes adoption and foster-care placement. Bishops in some states have either shut down adoption programs or have lost their government contracts after refusing to place children with same-gender couples.
Benedict also expressed appreciation that bishops have been more outspoken about American Catholic politicians who don't follow church teaching on abortion and other issues.
The pope said Catholics in political life have a "personal responsibility to offer public witness to their faith, especially with regard to the great moral issues of our time."
American Catholics have bitterly debated the obligations of Catholic lawmakers to oppose government policies that go against core Catholic teaching. In recent years, a small but growing number of local bishops have publicly told Catholic lawmakers who support abortion rights not to present themselves for Holy Communion because of their stance on the issue.
The White House had no response to the pope's remarks.
Officials of Catholic-affiliated institutions that have asked for a broader conscience exception to the birth control coverage requirement are frustrated that the administration has yet to make its ruling.

Madrid's Pepe apologizes for Messi foot stomp
updated 4:23 p.m. ET Jan. 19, 2012
MADRID - Real Madrid's Pepe has apologized to Lionel Messi for stepping on the Barcelona forward's hand during this week's Copa del Rey quarterfinal, saying that it wasn't intentional.
Pepe told Real Madrid's website Thursday that "as far as the play with Leo Messi, I want to say that it was an involuntary act."
The Portuguese defender added that "even so, if Messi is offended I ask his forgiveness because I want to defend my team and club. ... It never passed through my head to cause harm to a fellow professional."
Pepe received a yellow card in the 17th minute of Madrid's 2-1 loss during Wednesday's first leg when he barged into Sergio Busquets, but referee Muniz Fernandez did not penalize him for stomping on Messi's hand when the forward was on the ground in the 68th minute.
Pepe also fell to the field in the 65th minute clutching his face after coming into contact with Cesc Fabregas, but replays showed the Barcelona midfielder made contact with his arm and chest.
Pepe's actions, as well as Madrid's defensive tactics, have been widely criticized in the Spanish media, including the Madrid-friendly sports dailies.
Madrid coach Jose Mourinho said in the post-match news conference that he hadn't seen the incident, but that it would be "punishable" if it was done on purpose.
The 28-year-old center back has collected eight yellow cards in 11 "clasico" matches and a red card in last season's Champions League semifinal with Barcelona. Pepe was suspended for 10 games in April 2009 after lashing out at two Getafe players in a skirmish that included him stamping on the back of Javier Casquero after pushing the player to the ground, unprovoked.
The second leg of the total-goals quarterfinal will be played at Barcelona's Camp Nou stadium next week.
Barcelona has beaten Madrid 10 times in their last 13 meetings. This was its sixth win against Madrid since Mourinho arrived in 2010.

Genes Important to Keep Brain Sharp Through Old Age (LiveScience.com)
A person's intelligence is mostly inherited, it's in their genes, but whether a person can expect to be a clever grandma or grandpa relies on both genes and environment.
"Until now, we have not had an estimate of how much genetic differences affect how people's intelligence changes across the lifetime," study researcher Ian Deary, of the University of Edinburgh in the United Kingdom, said in an email to LiveScience. "These new results mean that researchers can seek both environmental and genetic contributionsto successful cognitive aging."
Previous studies of the genetics of intelligence have been performed on sets of twins or siblings who have been adopted and raised in different environments. These studies showed a genetic component of intelligence, but previous studies weren't able to determine how this changes over a lifetime.
Smart Scots
The researchers studied a group of 1,940 Scottish individuals whose intelligence was measured when they were 11 years old. They were tracked down recently and had their intelligence measured again in old age (65, 70 or 79 years of age). The researchers also collected genomic data from blood samples.
They looked to see whether having similar genes impacted a person's cognitive abilities at age 11 and later in life: For example, if two people had certain gene snippets in common, and they both tested above-average at 11 and in old age, those snippets are likely to be important in having and maintaining intelligence.
The researchers didn't identify the specific snippets of DNA involved in intelligence, but they were able to determine how much of a role having the "right" genes ? whatever they are ? plays in lifelong intelligence.
They found that intelligence (as measured with traditional IQ tests) itself is highly heritable ? it can be passed down from parent to child. They also found that it comes from not one gene, but from small effects of many genes, and these same genes affect intelligence in both youth and old age. On the other hand, whether this intelligence changes over time, they found, is very reliant on the environment.
Genes and brains
"These results suggest that genes contribute to our understanding of why some people?s brains have aged better than others, but the environment is probably the larger influence on lifetime changes," Deary said. "The results also suggest that many of the same genetic factors contribute to intelligence differences in childhoodand old age."
The researchers said that about 25 percent of these intelligence changes over time were due to genes, while the rest came from the environment. These genes that are involved in cognitive change could be related to diseases like dementia.
"Clues to the origins of people's differences in cognitive decline could be useful for understanding more about dementia," Deary said. "We are planning to look closely at brain structure with our older people to see if there are links between genes, brain structure and cognitive skills in old age."
Environment also had an impact on intelligence stability; the intelligence of some people improved while others declined. This could be influenced by such things as how active an older person is.
The study will be published in the Jan. 19 issue of the journal Nature.
