Ahmadinejad tests Lula diplomacy in Brazil visit

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad arrived in Brasilia on Monday seeking support for his controversial nuclear program, the first leg of a South American tour that critics say could dent Brazil's ambitions on the global diplomatic stage.
Opposition politicians in Brazil condemned the visit, citing concern over Iran's nuclear program, its denial of the Holocaust and human rights abuses. Hundreds of people protested in Rio de Janeiro and Brasilia, urging President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva to take a hard line with Ahmadinejad.Lula defended the visit, saying any progress on the nuclear standoff with Iran and on the stalled Middle East peace process required dialogue with all parties involved.
"It doesn't help isolating Iran," Lula, who has been pushing to bolster Brazil's clout on the world stage, said on Monday in his weekly radio address.
Iran has long countered Western suspicions it is seeking to develop nuclear weapons by saying its program is purely for civilian energy use. In hopes of wooing the Brazilians to his side, Ahmadinejad has sought to liken Iran's nuclear program to Brazil's.
"If the Brazilian people people stand beside the Iranian people in this unfair dispute of Western countries against Iran's nuclear program, it is because of a similar experience," Ahmadinejad wrote in an article distributed by the Iranian embassy in Brasilia.
Brazil, which has renounced nuclear weapons, is developing its own technology to enrich uranium as part of its nuclear energy program. It is also partnering with France to develop a nuclear-powered submarine.
World powers have urged Iran to reconsider its rejection of a U.N.-drafted deal which aimed to delay Tehran's potential ability to make bombs by at least a year, by divesting the country of most of its enriched uranium.
( Interesting that the opposition parrots 'Media' bafflegab so precisely. Nor is any mention of the Third Pillar of the NPT so much as hinted at. At the same time Iran has an opportunity to produce medical isotopes : a possibility which the 'world community' seems to fear more than a lack of them. )

Dirt can be good for children, say scientists

Normal bacteria living on the skin trigger a pathway that helps prevent inflammation when we get hurt, the US team discovered.
The bugs dampen down overactive immune responses that can cause cuts and grazes to swell, they say.
Their work is published in the online edition of Nature Medicine.
Experts said the findings provided an explanation for the "hygiene hypothesis", which holds that exposure to germs during early childhood primes the body against allergies.
Many believe our obsession with cleanliness is to blame for the recent boom in allergies in developed countries.
'Good' bacteria
Researchers from the School of Medicine at University of California, San Diego, found a common bacterial species, known as Staphylococci, blocked a vital step in a cascade of events that led to inflammation.

The LTA keeps the keratinocytes in check, stopping them from mounting an aggressive inflammatory response.
Head of the research Professor Richard Gallo said: "The exciting implication of the work is that it provides a molecular basis to understand the hygiene hypothesis and has uncovered elements of the wound repair response that were previously unknown.
"This may help us devise new therapeutic approaches for inflammatory skin diseases."
