MILWAUKEE - Prince Fielder remembers the last time he hit three home runs in a game. It was in high school, during an intrasquad scrimmage.

For all his baseball-bashing exploits, Fielder had never homered three times in a game in the majors ? until Tuesday.

After massive home runs in the third and fifth inning, Fielder hit a two-run shot in the seventh that lifted the Milwaukee Brewers to a 6-4 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates.

"You guys know me," Fielder said. "If I see it, I'm swinging hard."

Milwaukee star Ryan Braun went 1 for 2 with a pair of walks, and remains locked in a tight race with the New York Mets' Jose Reyes for the NL batting title going into the final game of the season.

Reyes went 3 for 6 in a loss to Cincinnati and is batting .336 for the year. Braun is at .335.

Rickie Weeks also homered for Milwaukee, his first since returning from an ankle injury ? and as much as Fielder celebrated his own home runs Tuesday, he actually seemed more excited after Weeks' drive.

"There's going to be more of those, I'm sure, from him," Fielder said.

John Axford pitched a 1-2-3 ninth for his 46th save.

Fielder's decisive final homer actually was the least impressive of the three, barely sailing over the wall in right field after he hit monster shots earlier in the game. But it was the last one that made the biggest difference, breaking a 4-4 tie.

The Brewers remained one game in front of Arizona for the No. 2 seed for the NL playoffs. The Diamondbacks rallied for a 7-6 win against the Los Angeles Dodgers in 10 innings, keeping alive their hopes for home-field advantage in the first round of the playoffs.

After Milwaukee's victory, the televisions in the home clubhouse were tuned to the Diamondbacks' game.

"They're fired up for it," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said before Arizona wrapped up its victory. "They're fired up to finish this season off right to get into the playoffs and whether it's just home-field advantage, I don't know. But there's a very good attitude in how we're going about these games."

Fielder is happy the Brewers have something left to play for to keep them sharp, even after they clinched the NL Central.

"That's very important," Fielder said. "Not that we can't do it on the road by any means, but everybody knows we play a lot better at home. It's good to have the fans behind you, get your confidence, a little swag before you have to go on the road."

LaTroy Hawkins (3-1) took the win, and Jared Hughes (0-1) was charged with the loss.

Fielder's big night was the third three-homer performance for the Brewers this season and left him with 38 on the year. Corey Hart and Casey McGehee had three-homer games earlier in the season.

Fielder and Weeks hit back-to-back homers in the third. Weeks, who sprained his left ankle July 27 and returned Sept. 8, now has 20 homers this season.

Pittsburgh's Ross Ohlendorf scattered five hits in five innings ? but three of those hits went a very long way, thanks to Fielder and Weeks.

Brewers starter Randy Wolf struggled, throwing 111 pitches in 5 2-3 innings. He gave up nine hits and four runs, including a bases-loaded walk that turned out to be his final batter.

"I was a little bit off today," Wolf said. "And every time they scored, we seemed to find a way ? or Prince really found a way ? to step up and have big hits."

After beating the Brewers on Monday, Pittsburgh got off to a fast start. Neil Walker led off the second with a ground-rule double, then scored when a looping line drive by Matt Pagnozzi fell in front of right fielder Hart.

With two outs in the third, Fielder drove a 1-0 pitch from Ohlendorf to the second deck in right field, tying it at 1. Weeks then hammered a ball to left, appearing to rattle the window panes of a restaurant in the third deck.

The Pirates used some deception to take the lead in the fifth. After a ground-rule double by Ronny Cedeno, Ohlendorf came to the plate and faked a bunt to draw the defense in ? then swung away and made solid contact, sending a single through the largely vacant middle of the infield. Cedeno scored on the play to tie at 2.

Ohlendorf later scored on a single by Josh Harrison that glanced off the glove of diving shortstop Yuniesky Betancourt, giving the Pirates the lead.

But the Brewers came right back in the bottom half of the fifth. Braun walked with two outs, and Fielder hit a huge home run to center.

The Pirates loaded the bases with two outs in the sixth, and Wolf walked in a run.

But Fielder wasn't finished. After Braun walked in the seventh, Fielder hit his third ? then came out of the dugout for a curtain call.

NOTES: Making a start in center field, Jerry Hairston Jr. showed his range by running down several fly balls. Roenicke rested Nyjer Morgan after he fouled a pair of balls off his leg Monday, but Morgan appeared as a pinch hitter in the eighth. ... It was the seventh time the Brewers have hit back-to-back home runs this season. ... Zack Greinke (15-6, 3.86 ERA) faces Pittsburgh's Jeff Locke (0-2, 4.97 ERA) in the regular-season finale.

Like the Droid Bionic of the guitar world, the Firebird X was announced almost a year ago, packed with piles of impressive technology, and delayed so many times that practically everyone forgot it existed. Well, on September 30th the Firebird X will finally start filtering into retail channels for the rather excessive price of $5,570, in your choice of either Redolution of Bluevolution finishes. On board are a boatload of effects as well as an automated tuner, which we've come to expect from the so-called "robot guitar" series. The Pure-Analog sound processing engine is also open to developers, allowing owners to add on new effects and sounds down the road. But, enough with our ramblings. You know the drill, gallery below and PR after the break.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) ? Drugstore operator Walgreen Co. said Tuesday its fiscal fourth-quarter earnings jumped 69 percent, boosted in part by a gain from the $525-million sale of its pharmacy benefits management business.

The Deerfield, Ill., company said in March it was selling the business to Catalyst Health Solutions Inc. That deal was completed in June, and Walgreen recorded an after-tax gain in the quarter of 30 cents per share.

Walgreen also was helped by sales growth at stores open at least a year, as it earned $792 million, or 87 cents per share, in the quarter that ended Aug. 31. That compares with net income of $470 million, or 49 cents per share, in last year's quarter. Adjusted earnings, which exclude the sale gain, were 57 cents per share, and that topped Wall Street expectations.

Analysts surveyed by FactSet expected, on average, earnings per share of 55 cents for the quarter.

Walgreen said Tuesday its revenue climbed more than 6 percent in the quarter to $17.96 billion. Sales at stores open at least a year rose 4.4 percent.

Sales from locations open at least a year is a key indicator of a retailer's long-term health because it excludes stores that recently opened or closed.

Walgreen is the largest drugstore chain in the United States with more than 7,700 stores. For the full fiscal year, the company earned $2.71 billion, or $2.94 per share, on $72.18 billion in revenue.

Walgreen said when it reported third-quarter results that it was ending a relationship worth $5.3 billion per year with Express Scripts Inc. Walgreen said that the St. Louis company was not paying it enough money to fill prescriptions. It also complained that Express Scripts was trying to dictate terms of the partnership.

Pharmacy benefits managers, or PBMs, like Express Scripts pay Walgreen to fill prescriptions. The PBMs make money by reducing the costs in prescription drug plans. Walgreen had a similar contract fight last year with CVS Caremark Corp. that was eventually resolved.

The Express Scripts conflict intensified earlier this month. Walgreen said it plans to stop filling prescriptions managed by Express Scripts Inc. on Jan. 1. Express Scripts then announced that it was suing Walgreen. It argued that the drugstore chain is trying to lure away its customers.

Walgreen said Tuesday there has been "no substantive progress" in contract renewal negotiations with Express Scripts.

The price of Walgreen shares has fallen about 20 percent since the company announced its split with Express Scripts. Shares dropped another 3.6 percent, or $1.31, to $34.72 in Tuesday morning trading.

NEW YORK (AP) ? Soaring gasoline prices are in the rearview mirror.

For the first time in months, retail gasoline prices have fallen below $3 a gallon in places, including parts of Michigan, Missouri and Texas. And the relief is likely to spread thanks to a sharp decline in crude-oil prices.

The national average for regular unleaded gasoline is $3.51 per gallon, down from a high of $3.98 in early May. Last week's plunge in oil prices could push the average to $3.25 per gallon by November, analysts say.

Economist Philip Verleger equates it to "a stimulus program for consumers," leaving them more money for clothes, dinners out and movies. Over a year, a 50 cents-per-gallon drop in gasoline prices would add roughly $70 billion to the U.S. economy.

Arthur De Villar, a 48-year-old safety inspector for the Federal Aviation Administration, paid $2.96 for gasoline near his home in Manchester, Mo., a suburb of St. Louis ? and he recently replaced his SUV with a four-door sedan.

With three boys at home between the ages of 11 and 14, the money De Villar saves on gas still gets spent. But it goes to the amusement park, a Cardinals baseball game or the movie theater.

"It's far better to be able to put (the money) anywhere other than in the gas tank," he says.

Prices for oil, gasoline and other commodities dove last week along with world stock markets over concerns the global economy is headed for another recession. When economies slow, demand for gasoline, diesel and jet fuel falls as drivers cut back on trips, shippers move fewer goods and vacationers stay closer to home. Oil fell to $79.85 per barrel Friday, a drop of 9 percent for the week. Oil reached a three-year high of $113.93 on April 29.

Economists caution that gasoline savings, while welcome, won't matter much to people if the worst economic fears come to pass.

"Yes it produces some relief, your bill at the gas pump goes down, but it's going down because there are worries that people won't have jobs," says James Hamilton, an economics professor at the University of California, San Diego. "The news has not been good."

And gasoline prices remain historically high. Gasoline has averaged $3.56 this year, the highest yearly average ever. Americans have cut back driving in the face of high prices, but they are likely to spend more on gasoline in 2011 than ever before ? close to $490 billion, according to Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst at the Oil Price Information Service.

Kloza says the latest drop in prices will stick around through most of the fall. And while that may only add $20 a month to a typical commuter's wallet, drivers say it matters.

Pat Wolf, 60, a retired information technology professional from East Lansing, Mich. responded with a "Holy Mackerel!" when he got a text from his wife Friday morning that said a station nearby was selling gas for $2.98 per gallon.

Wolf said prices in the area were $3.49 earlier in the week and he had no hope that they'd fall below $3. "It's one other thing in the back of your mind if you are deciding whether to buy some gizmo or other," he says.

Aureleano Duran, a house painter in Dallas, gave the cashier at a RaceTrac gas station $55 to fill up his red Dodge pickup Friday night, but the tank began to overflow before he shut off the nozzle ? at $49.21. Duran plans to sock away roughly $30 a week in gas savings. "I'm trying not to spend a lot of it," he said. Then he excused himself: "I've got to go get my change."

Gasoline prices have always varied from state to state, but the gap now is especially big. Drivers along the coasts are paying significantly more than drivers in the middle of the country, analysts say. California drivers are paying the highest average price in the lower 48 states, at $3.89 per gallon on Sunday. Missouri drivers are paying the least, $3.21 per gallon, according to AAA, OPIS and Wright Express.

Differences in state taxes explain much of the gap. Another factor is that most of the oil used by refineries on the coasts comes from overseas, making it far more expensive than oil piped to refineries in the middle of the country from places such as North Dakota and Canada. The coastal refineries must compete with the growing economies of Asia for shipments of oil.

Patrick DeHaan, senior petroleum analyst at GasBuddy.com, says that while he expects the national average to fall to between $3.25 and $3.50 between now and Thanksgiving, some areas could hit $2.50. He says prices in Lansing, Mich., and St. Louis had fallen below $3 already. A price war between filling stations near Bridge City, Texas, pushed prices to $2.62 last week.

"In some of these areas prices are collapsing," DeHaan says.

The trend could reverse, analysts say, if the world economy does not descend into recession. That's because the growth in oil demand from China and other developing nations will more than make up for falling demand in Europe and the United States.

The investment bank Goldman Sachs forecasts that oil will rise to $120 per barrel within the next six months. That's a jump of 50 percent from last week's closing price of just under $80 per barrel.

"Whatever we see gas prices falling to, it won't be the new normal. It will be a launching pad for winter and spring prices," says Kloza, from Oil Price Information Service.

Submitted 2011-09-25 13:28:34 As an internet marketer you might not yet have considered using direct Email to get the word out about your online business. However, this is something that you should not wait another second to start. Using direct Email to promote your business is one of the best marketing tools you can use. Direct Email adds legitimacy to your business that regular e-Email cannot. Implementing a direct Email campaign can feel pretty overwhelming if you???ve never done it before. You shouldn???t be intimidated by it, though. Here we sill give you some great techniques that you can use for direct Emailing if you are coming from an Internet marketing background.Many people erroneously assume that direct Email must be constructed in long form. The envision themselves sitting for hours at a time writing out every little aspect of what they offer in their business. It doesn???t have to be this way at all! Some of the best direct Email pieces are postcards with just a few words on them! What kind of Email you are going to send completely depends on the business you have and the audience you are targeting. It may be that you need a long letter to do adequate justice to your products and services. Then again, you may only need to send a postcard with a web address on it. Don???t ever think you know everything before you try it out. Make sure to limit the Email you send. For those of you who do too much Emailing, you might run through your marketing budget too quickly, as physically Emailing things is costly. People will be less inclined to read any Email that you send to them, if they get bombarded constantly by Email from you; this is an important second point. Individuals should be pleased to receive your Email. Your goal is for them to open it up. That is the goal. If you make the habit of sending out too many pieces of Email too quickly, it will be disregarded just as quickly as you send it.Always make sure your Email is direct and to the point. Keep the Emailing to one page in length, and don't add fancy inserts and graphics. Something long and fancy will lose the customer. A simply designed letter or postcard is far better. You want to let your recipients know what you are offering and then let them get back to their day. Adhere to the "single page" rule. This says that if your message can't be stated in one page, it must be simplified. Another reason to keep your direct Email short is that the longer your message, the heavier your Email will be. You'll end up paying more money to the post office. There is no reason to feel terrified of direct Emailing, if you start up a new campaign you will soon see the benefits. It may take you a little while to figure out all the details to direct Email marketing. But as soon as you get a grasp on the concept, you can take it to new heights! You would be surprised at how much you can build your business up simply by using direct Email along with online marketing. If you don't believe us, do a test run.

ERFURT, Germany (AP) ? Facing discontent within his German flock, Pope Benedict XVI met with victims of clerical sex abuse as he called for Roman Catholics in the former communist East to rediscover their faith.

The pontiff celebrated Mass with some 30,000 people early Saturday, unhindered by an incident on the edge of the security zone in which a man fired an air gun at a security guard about an hour before the service, Vatican and local officials said.

Benedict's spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, said there was "no worry" in the papal entourage over the incident, and the pontiff was not informed about it before the Mass. "It didn't seem particularly urgent," he told reporters on the pope's plane after the Mass. Police said the alleged shooter had been arrested and that there were no injuries.

In his sermon, the pope acknowledged that the collapse of communism in the former East Germany more than 20 years ago has allowed the church to function freely, but questioned whether that change has brought any increase in faith.

"Are not the deep roots of faith and Christian life to be sought in something very different from social freedom?" the pope said. "It was actually amid the hardships of pressure from without that many committed Catholics remained faithful to Christ and to the church."

Benedict's four-day state visit comes as Germany's church has been losing thousands of followers amid revelations that hundreds of children and young people were abused by clergy and church employees.

On Friday night, he took a step to placate some of the anger by meeting for half an hour with two women and three men from parishes across Germany who were among the abused. The Vatican said the pope expressed "deep compassion and regret" at the suffering of those who were abused and assured them the Church is seeking "effective measures to protect children."

German church leaders acknowledge the scandal has cost them badly needed trust among the roughly 24 million German Catholics.

"I appreciate that he (the pope) is facing the problem, and that he is meeting these people," said Klaus Militzer, 68, from Erfurt, who was among an expected 30,000 pilgrims streaming into the cobbled square beneath the city's main cathedral early Saturday.

"He can't undo it, that's not possible, but I think it is good that he is asking for forgiveness and sending a signal."

Benedict has been accused by victims groups and their lawyers of being part of a systematic cover-up by the church hierarchy for pedophile priests in his earlier roles as an archbishop in Germany and later at the helm of the Vatican morals office.

Survivors groups were quick to denounce the pope's meeting with German victims as an empty gesture. They maintain the church has not done enough to prosecute offending priests and prevent future cases of abuse.

Germany's Bishops Conference has set up a telephone hotline to counsel victims and help them to take legal steps against offending priests when possible.

Catholic leaders had warned ahead of Benedict's visit that there was no quick solution, but they hoped the pontiff could help heal wounds left by the scandal.

"I think it's certainly an important issue, but it's not the most important thing about a pope's visit," Monika Graner, a pilgrim from Wuerzburg, said of the sex abuse scandal.

Following the Mass in Erfurt, the pontiff traveled to the southwestern city of Freiburg, the final stop on this visit.

About 25,000 people who lined the pope's route cheered and waved as he drove from the airport to visit the downtown cathedral.

Protests have also accompanied Benedict's German tour, although numbers have been smaller than expected. Some 9,000 people turned out in Berlin to denounce the Vatican views on homosexuality, contraception and other issues.

Herbal medicine is people?s medicine, earth medicine, wild medicine, weed medicine. Weeds are amazing powerhouses of nourishment, medicine, magic, and beauty. They are easy to grow and simple to use. But beginners, and seasoned herbal users as well, can sometimes feel lost: so many herbs, so many plants, so many weeds to get to know. How can one even begin to feel confident?

One of the best ways to ?get? herbal medicine is to learn a little botany. Plants are grouped into botanical families, and plants in the same family often have very similar properties. In previous columns, we?ve looked at the malva (Malvaceae), the rose (Rosaceae) and the buckwheat (Polygonaceae) families. That?s about 5000 plants we?ve become familiar with. But that?s only a few, compared to the family we?re about to meet: the Asteraceae (Aster-a-cee-a).

With 20,000 members, the Asteraceae (?aster? means ?star?) family is one of the largest and most diverse of all plant families. From fossil records, it appears that this family developed quite recently (only millions of years ago) and this may explain its size. The Asteraceae family contains some of the most helpful, and well known, of all herbs: arnica, burdock, boneset, calendula, chamomile, chicory, mug/cronewort, coltsfoot, dandelion, echinacea, elecampane, feverfew, gravel root, grindelia, liferoot, milk thistle, tansy, yarrow, valerian, wormwood, and wild lettuce. It offers us delicious foods: sunflower seeds, lettuces, true artichokes, sun chokes (also known as Jerusalem artichokes), escarole, and endive. And, it is one of the landscaper?s favorite families, for many Asteraceae ? such as chrysanthemums, dahlias, bachelor?s buttons, daisies, cosmos, coneflowers, goldenrods, sunflowers, zinnias, and, of course, asters ? bloom for months with colorful hardy flowers, and many are perennial, too.

Plants become members of a family when their flower structures are the same. But dandelion and burdock and sunflowers don?t seem to look alike. How can they all be in the same family? The flowers of the Asteraceae are much smaller than you think, that?s how. The flower you see is not the flower that a botanist sees. Where you see one dandelion bloom, the botanist sees hundreds of small flowers arranged to look like one flower.

The older name for this family tells the tale more clearly: Compositae. Each bloom is composed of hundreds of tiny flowers. With a hand lens, you can look closely at an Asteraceae blossom and see the many tiny flowers crowded together that make up the larger ?flower?.

Look at a sunflower; even a picture will do. You can clearly see the many little yellow flowers that make up the disk, or center, of the sunflower. Eventually, each one of those disk flowers, which are fertile, will become a seed. Now look at what you thought were the sunflower petals. Each yellow petal is actually an entire flower, called a ray flower. The ray flowers of the sunflower are sterile, thus produce no seeds.

To see a fertile ray flower, look at a dandelion in bloom. Each of those yellow strands that makes up the dandelion ?mop? is an individual ray flower; and each one makes a seed. (There are no disk flowers on the dandelion.)

Some Asteraceae have disk flowers, but no ray flowers, like goldenrod or sagebrush or some forms of chamomile. So there are really three flower patterns in the Asteraceae family: ray and disk flowers together (echinacea, daisy, black-eyed susans); only ray flowers (dandelion, lettuce, artichoke); and only disk flowers (wormwood, ragweed).

In general, Asteraceae are considered edible and safely medicinal, but they often contain very active ingredients along with their exceptional supplies of nutrients. Many Asteraceae contain active alkaloids that are medicinal; but that means they can be harmful, too. (It?s the alkaloids in dandelion, chicory, escarole, endive, and old lettuce that make them taste so bitter.) Two helpful medicinal Asteraceae ? boneset (Eupatorium perfoliatum) and queen of the meadow (E. purpurea) ? have a dreadful sister (E. rugosum) known as ?white snake root?. This sister contains an alkaloid that, eaten by cows and excreted in their milk, builds up in people who drink the milk and causes their eventual death. Abraham Lincoln?s mother died as a result of it, in fact. Even common garden lettuce contains alkaloids that are comparable to opium alkaloids; and the sap of wild lettuces has long been used, as opiates are to this day, to ease severe pain.

Since roots and seeds are usually richer in alkaloids than leaves and flowers, it is safest to experiment first with the flowers of unfamiliar Asteraceae. I read that native women valued Senecio aureus so much they called it ?liferoot?. Great; it grows here. I?ll dig some root. Then I learned that some Senecios species are considered livestock poisoners. Hmmm, maybe I shouldn?t. Finally, my archeologist neighbor told me that Senecio flower pollen was found around the oldest known human grave. Ah ha! Of course! Tincture the flower. Voila! I?ve seen a dose of 5-8 drops of liferoot flower tincture, taken daily from ovulation to menstruation for at least three cycles, restore menstrual happiness to the most pained of women.

Asteraceae pollens in both fresh and dried flowers can cause breathing problems and allergic reactions in susceptible, or sensitized, individuals. Ragweed (Ambrosia artemisifolia) is in this family, remember. There have been several close calls with children reacting badly to chamomile, and two deaths from echinacea. (It is thought that they sensitized themselves by daily use of echinacea capsules, and went into shock when they took a larger dose. There have been no problems with large doses of echinacea root tincture; but I would not take it daily.)

What Asteraceae grow wild around you? Which ones do you or your friends cultivate? Whether you use their roots, their leaves, or their flowers for medicine, magic, food, or beauty, the star-studded Asteraceae family is twinkling at you.

A landmark has been achieved. Sanction of health bill was supported by voting ratio of 219 to 212 in the congress. History was made on March 21st 2010 with passing of health reform bill which is regarded as one of the most controversial and politically debated legislation in history record of America.

The bill introduced many unorthodox rules and regulations covering the areas of Medicare, Medicaid and insurance markets. The features and characteristics of health bill were something which were long awaited and were a very dire need of US Insurance market.

Mainly health bill have addressed the most important loop holes in the current insurance system, such as exploitation of insurance companies, which were earlier excluding people with pre-medical conditions out of their coverage plan. Now they won?t be able too. Insurance companies cannot just out of the blue drop policy holders like that.

Other most revolutionary steps were that now dependent children will remain under the insurance coverage of their parents until the age of 26 years. Further individuals and small and medium size businesses without coverage will have access to multiple insurance coverage plans.

The main target of health bill is to restructure insurance markets for better health care provisions. Honoring its main purpose of providing affordable and better health care for US citizens, health bill offers new health insurance exchange along with public health and private insurance plans.

Restrictions on increased insurance premium has also been devised as from now on insurance companies will not be able to change or vary their risk premium in a specific grandfather insurance coverage until or unless they change the rate of whole group with same risk factors, further the change in premium rate will also require a approval from the commissioner.

This has also been put forward that now all individual will assured of guaranteed issuance and renewal regardless if the insurance coverage is being offered through health insurance exchange or employment based health plans.

The bill prohibits any kind of discrimination in health benefits and their structures. This will be monitored as every insurance company is required to strictly comply with rules and regulations defined by the commissioner.

The best part about health bill is that it has added the minimum services to be covered by insurance coverage. Now every insurance health plans has to cover the basic and extra value added services such as hospitalization, the expensive services of physicians and other health professionals, in patient/out patient clinical and emergency department services, metal health services, substance disorder services, maternity care, prescribed drugs, rehabilitative services and baby/child care.

The health bill 2010 has taken a bold step towards restructuring and reforming the insurance policies which are sure to be in the direction of revolutionizing the health insurance industry.

Doriana Lalla · ScienceDaily (Sep. 19, 2011)

ScienceDaily (Sep. 19, 2011) ? A compound initially isolated from sharks shows potential as a unique broad-spectrum human antiviral agent, according to a study led by a Georgetown University Medical Center investigator and reported in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences Early Edition online Sept. 19.

The compound, squalamine, has been in human clinical trials for the treatment of cancer and several eye disorders, and so has a well-known safety profile, suggesting it can be quickly tested as a new class of drugs to treat infections caused by viruses ranging from dengue and yellow fever to hepatitis B, C, and D. In both lab and animal experiments, the compound effectively demonstrated antiviral activity against these human pathogens, some of which cannot now be effectively treated.

"To realize that squalamine potentially has broad antiviral properties is immensely exciting, especially since we already know so much from ongoing studies about its behavior in people," says the study's lead investigator, Michael Zasloff, M.D., Ph.D., professor of surgery and pediatrics at Georgetown University Medical Center and scientific director of the Georgetown Transplant Institute.

Not only does the study offer a promising clinical advance, Zasloff might have answered the longstanding mystery of how sharks, which have a very primitive immune system, can so effectively fight the viruses that plague all living creatures.

"I believe squalamine is one of a family of related compounds that protects sharks and some other 'primitive' ocean vertebrates, such as the sea lamprey, from viruses," he says. "Squalamine appears to protect against viruses that attack the liver and blood tissues, and other similar compounds that we know exist in the shark likely protect against respiratory viral infections, and so on.

"We may be able to harness the shark's novel immune system to turn all of these antiviral compounds into agents that protect humans against a wide variety of viruses," Zasloff says. "That would be revolutionary. While many antibacterial agents exist, doctors have few antiviral drugs to help their patients, and few of those are broadly active."

Zasloff discovered squalamine in 1993 when he was a Professor of Pediatrics and Genetics at the University of Pennsylvania searching for novel antibacterial agents. "I was interested in sharks because of their seemingly primitive but effective immune system. No one could explain why the shark was so hardy," he says.

After he began to "play" with the compound, he realized that it had other properties that offered a new direction to treat other disorders. Zasloff found squalamine inhibited the growth of rapidly growing blood vessels, such as those found in tumor growth and certain retinal diseases such as macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy. Squalamine was subsequently tested in these conditions, and some of those clinical trials are ongoing.

Since 1995, squalamine has been synthesized in the laboratory, a process that does not involve use of any natural shark tissue.

Over the years, Zasloff remained interested in how squalamine acted as an immune agent in sharks. He knew that the compound, a natural cholesterol-like molecule, has a net positive electrical charge. He later discovered that when it enters cells -- squalamine can access only certain cells, like those in blood vessels, capillaries, and in the liver -- it "kicks off" positively-charged proteins that are bound to the negatively-charged surface of the cell's inner membrane. Some of these displaced proteins are used by viruses to replicate, and Zasloff discovered that without those proteins, a virus's life cycle is disrupted, the microbe is rendered inert, and the cell that contains it is destroyed.

What most intrigued Zasloff is that squalamine seems so well designed to fight certain viral infections. "To me, the key to squalamine is that once in the body it times its action to match the life cycle of most viruses. Most viruses take hours to complete their life cycle, the same time period that squalamine renders tissues and organs viral resistant after administration. In addition, it acts fast to stop viral replication, clearing the body of these predators within hours," he says.

"Furthermore, because squalamine acts by making the host's tissues less receptive for infection, rather than by targeting a specific viral protein, the emergence of viral resistance would not be anticipated," Zasloff adds.

To help prove the potency of squalamine, Zasloff sent the compound to researchers around the country, including investigators at the University of California, Los Angeles, Utah State University, the National Polytechnic Institute of Mexico, Northwestern University, Eastern Virginia Medical School, Fox Chase Cancer Center, and the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston.

In tissue culture studies squalamine was shown to inhibit the infection of human blood vessel cells by the dengue virus and human liver cells infected with hepatitis B and D, which can cause liver failure and cancer.

In animal studies, his collaborators discovered that squalamine controlled infections of yellow fever, Eastern equine encephalitis virus, and murine cytomegalovirus, and in some cases cured the animals.

"We have not yet optimized squalamine dosing in any of the animal models we have studied and as yet we do not know the maximum protective or therapeutic benefit that can be achieved in these systems," Zasloff says.

"But we are sufficiently convinced of the promise of squalamine as an antiviral agent that we intend to take this compound into humans," he says. "It is clearly a promising drug, and is unlike, in its mechanism of action and chemical structure, any other substance currently being investigated to treat viral infections."

Zasloff is the inventor on a patent application that has been filed related to the technology described in this paper.

Th?r? w?? a time wh?n few people even considered getting insurance f?r th??r pets. H?w???r, today, th?r? h??? b??n many n?w advancements ?n medical technology, resulting ?n many more available treatments. Many pet owners th??? days consider th??r pets full fledged members ?f th??r families. Pet insurance helps prevent against major financial burdens f?r those pet owners wh? w??ld literally d? anything ?nd everything possible t? save th??r beloved pet. If a family h?? limited financial resources, th? existence ?f a pet insurance policy ??n literally mean th? d?ff?r?n?? between getting treatment ?r losing th? pet.

Veterinary science h?? advanced considerably ?n th? past few years. Many ?f th? treatments ?r? ?r? available f?r humans h??? now b??n implemented ?nt? pet care. Th?? even includes advanced treatments such ?? kidney transplants, ?nd even radiation therapy.

In addition t? a wide array ?f advanced treatment options, more ?nd better diagnostic tests ?r? available th?n ???r before.

Wh?l? th??? measures d? now catch potential problems ?nd illnesses th?t w??ld h??? before gone unnoticed, ?t ?l?? means th?t exam costs ?nd th? number ?f treatment procedures ?? going t? increase drastically.

Advances ?n veterinary testing ?nd treatment h??? allowed ??r pets t? live longer ?nd healthier lives ?nd f?r ?? t? ?n??? th??r presence f?r many years. Th? additional cost, h?w???r, ??n become a burden. J??t l?k? w?th human health care, wh?n potential costs ?r? unmanageable, w? turn t? insurance. B?????? ?? many people ?r? interested ?n buying health insurance f?r th??r pets, ??m? employers ?r? starting t? offer ?t t? th??r employees.

J??t l?k? th? health insurance f?r ???r family, m??t pet insurance policies h??? deductibles ?nd co-payments.

Y?? m?? ?l?? h??? t? provide ???r pet?s health history before ??? ??n g?t a pet insurance policy. If ???r pet h?? ongoing health issues, l?k? a chronic illness, ?t w?ll probably b? considered a pre-existing condition ?nd won?t b? covered under th? policy.

Th? price ?f pet insurance w?ll increase ?? ???r pet ages, simply b?????? older pets tend t? need more medical care. Many pet insurance companies w?ll n?t write a n?w policy f?r a pet over nine years ?ld. If th?? w?ll, ?t w?ll ??rt??nl? cost more th?n a policy f?r a younger, healthy pet. If ???r pet h?? a lot ?f health problems, ??? m?? wish t? weigh out whether ?r n?t ??? ?h??ld g?t coverage. In m??t cases, ??? w??ld actually ?nd up spending much more without th? coverage.

Everyone wh? owns a pet knows th?t th?? h??? t? prepare t? take care ?f ?t ???t ?? ?f ?t w?r? a ??rt ?f th??r family. If ??? ??nn?t afford t? provide proper medical care f?r a pet, ??? ?h??ld n?t ?wn ?t.

In today?s world, ??? ??n g?t insurance f?r ?lm??t anything ??? ??n imagine. Y?? ??n m?k? th??? unpredictable costs more manageable, ?nd probably lower, b? getting pet insurance before ???r pet gets sick. Plus, wh?n ??? h??? medical coverage f?r th?m, ??? ??n afford ?ll th? best medical care. Y?? w?ll n?t h??? t? worry ?b??t going ahead w?th th?t extra test ?r treatment, fearing th?t ??? ??nn?t pay f?r ?t. Sh??ld ?n? sudden emergency arise, ??? w?ll n?t h??? t? worry ?b??t coming up w?th a lot ?f money quickly. S?m? policies g? beyond veterinary care f?r illness ?nd injury t? offer coverage f?r preventative care, spay ?nd neuter procedures ?nd even theft ?f ???r animal.
