Brazil's Rousseff as popular as ever

By Anthony Boadle

BRASILIA (Reuters) - The Brazilian economy is hardly growing and inflation is rearing its head, but President Dilma Rousseff's popularity continues to climb to new highs.

The personal approval rating of Brazil's first woman president rose to 79 percent in March from 78 percent in December, according to a CNI/Ibope opinion poll released on Tuesday.

The number of Brazilians who say they trust her leadership climbed two points to 75 percent of those polled, and 63 percent of them view her government as good or very good, up from 62 percent in December.

Once-booming Brazil grew a meager 0.9 percent last year, dropping behind Britain to seventh largest economy in the world.

While Rousseff's efforts to revive growth with tax breaks and public spending have so far failed to bear fruit, pollsters say Brazilians are more concerned with having a job and access to consumer goods. Rousseff's popularity is buoyed by record low unemployment and unabated consumer spending, they say.

Inflation, though, is gaining speed and could derail Rousseff's re-election plans for 2014 if not curbed. The country is still haunted by the memory of the hyperinflation of two decades ago. In February, the rate of inflation as measured by the consumer price index hit 6.3 percent, a 14-month high.

But Rousseff has taken measures that directly benefit the pockets of average Brazilians: she has brought down the prices of electricity and food staples this year.

"For the average Brazilian, the economy is doing quite well: inflation is relatively low, jobs are still being created and access to credit is still fairly good," said University of Brasilia political science professor David Fleischer.

As long as those indicators remain strong, Rousseff will continue to be popular, Fleischer said.

In fact, she is now better liked by Brazilians than her widely popular predecessor and mentor, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. For the first time in the quarterly CNI/Ibope polls, more people said they preferred Rousseff's government to that of Lula, Brazil's first working class president.

In a country where politicians are viewed as serving their own interests, Rousseff quickly gained a reputation for not tolerating corruption by removing six ministers in her first year in office due to graft allegations. She emerged unscathed from corruption scandals involving aides to ex-president Lula, founder of the ruling Worker's Party (PT).

The increases in Rousseff's popularity are within the two percentage point margin of error of the March 8-11 poll of 2,002 people.

Rousseff made her most significant gains in approval in the poor, drought-stricken Northeast of Brazil, a region that was once a solid bastion of PT support, but which has seen the rapid rise of a possible election rival, Eduardo Campos of the Brazilian Socialist Party (PSB).

Discovery of 'executioner' protein opens door to new options for stroke ALS, spinal cord injury

Discovery of 'executioner' protein opens door to new options for stroke ALS, spinal cord injury

Tuesday, March 5, 2013

Oxidative stress turns a protein that normally protects healthy cells into their executioner, according to a study released today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences journal.

Alvaro Estevez, an associate professor at the University of Central Florida's College of Medicine, led the multi-university team that made the discovery, which could eventually help scientists develop new therapies to combat a host of conditions from stroke to Lou Gehrig's disease

Researchers have long known that oxidative stress damages cells and results in neurodegeneration, inflammation and aging. It was commonly believed that oxidation made a "crude," demolition-like attack on cells, causing them to crumble like a building in an earthquake, Estevez said. However, the latest findings show that oxidation results in a much more targeted attack to specific parts of the cell. Oxidative stress damages a specific "chaperone" cell protein called Hsp90. It plays a role in up to 200 different cell functions. But when a form of oxidative stress called tyrosine nitration modifies that protein, it turns into the cell "executioner" shutting it down.

"The concept that a protein that is normally protective and indispensable for cell survival and growth can turn into a killing machine, and just because of one specific oxidative modification, is amazing," said Maria C. Franco, a postdoctoral associate at UCF's Burnett School of Biomedical Sciences. She co-wrote the study. "Considering that this modified protein is present in a vast number of pathologies, it gives us hopes on finding new therapeutics approaches for several different diseases."

For example, researchers could devise a drug that stroke patients could take at the onset of their symptoms to prevent more healthy cells from dying, thus limiting the damage of the stroke. Because oxidation is linked to inflammation, researchers believe tyrosine nitration could also be related to other health problems including heart disease, cancer, aging and chronic pain.

"These are very exciting results and could begin a major shift in medicine," said Joseph Beckman, from Oregon State University Environmental Health Sciences Center, a collaborator on the study. "Preventing this process of tyrosine nitration may protect against a wide range of degenerative diseases."

"Most people think of things like heart disease, cancer, aging, liver disease, even the damage from spinal injury as completely different medical issues," Beckman said. "To the extent they can often be traced back to inflammatory processes that are caused by oxidative attack and cellular damage, they can be more similar than different. It could be possible to develop therapies with value against many seemingly different health problems."

Tagalong Haul

Alana Thompson, the 7-year-old star of Here Comes Honey Boo-Boo, stopped selling Girl Scout Cookies via her Facebook page after the Girl Scouts of Historic Georgia, a regional council, complained. Thompson is not a Girl Scout but was selling the cookies on behalf of a friend. Why are the Girl Scouts so controlling about who can sell Girl Scout Cookies?

?

Because selling Girl Scout Cookies is supposed to be an entrepreneurial learning experience for Girl Scouts. According to the Girl Scouts of the United States of America?s website, selling cookies helps Girl Scouts develop five skills: goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills, and business ethics. Girl Scouts may either sell cookies directly to consumers (by going door-to-door in their neighborhoods, calling relatives, or dropping in at their parents? office, for example) or participate in booth sales at retail locations or other public areas. By selling cookies, Girl Scouts are eligible for several badges representing specific achievements related to the five skills, and they may also earn tokens known as ?recognition items? for their sales efforts.

?

The Girl Scout Cookie program is a major source of funds for the nation?s 112 Girl Scout councils, each of which is in charge of organizing cookie sales for its region. Forty to 60 percent of the sticker price of each box goes into council coffers, and an additional 25 percent is invested into the troop that sold the box. The national Girl Scout organization strongly discourages buying cookies sold by anyone other than a Girl Scout, since they can?t ?guarantee the freshness or origination of these cookies? and since ?purchasing cookies in this way does not support girls participating in the cookie program.?

?

The Girl Scouts of the United States of America, the umbrella organization that oversees regional Girl Scout councils nationwide, has a policy prohibiting online sales of Girl Scout cookies because it has not yet developed a platform through which Girl Scouts can sell cookies safely and legally. (Girl Scouts over the age of 13 are, however, allowed to use Facebook to alert their friends and acquaintances of the locations of booth sales.) Most of the other regulations surrounding the sale of Girl Scout Cookies are determined by each council. The national Girl Scout organization provides marketing support to councils from January through April each year, so most councils hold their cookie sales in the spring. Sales typically last between 12 and 16 weeks; councils limit the length of each sale period to make sure Girl Scouts have time to devote to other projects for the rest of the year.

?

Two bakeries, ABC Bakers and Little Brownie Bakers, are licensed by GSUSA to bake Girl Scout Cookies. Each regional council negotiates prices, sales terms, and delivery agreements with one of the two bakeries. (In previous decades, more bakeries were licensed to produce Girl Scout Cookies, but they have either closed or consolidated.) The dual bakeries are the reason some Girl Scout Cookies go by more than one name: Little Brownie Bakers produce Samoas, Tagalongs, Do-si-dos, and Trefoils, while ABC Bakers make Caramel deLites, Peanut Butter Patties, Peanut Butter Sandwiches, and Shortbread.

?

Although only Girl Scouts may sell Girl Scout Cookies, the Girl Scouts of the United States of America has entered into short-term licensing agreements with other companies in the hopes of promoting the Girl Scout Cookie brand without damaging Girl Scout Cookie sales. For instance, this year Breyer?s is selling limited-edition Girl Scout Cookie-flavored frozen desserts; in the past, Dreyer?s (known in some parts of the country as Edy?s) has produced a similar product. Crumbs Bake Shop also made a limited-edition Thin Mints cupcake last month, and Nestle? made limited-edition Girl Scout Crunch cookie bars last summer.
