The standard is designed to be consistent with international standards for biometrics used in such applications as travel documents. This standard will also be used to specify definitions of photographic properties and digital image attributes, and as a standards format for relevant applications, including human examination and computer automated face recognition. “Secretary Ridge and I are pleased to release the Department’s biometric standard face recognition formats today,” said Dr. Charles McQueary, Under Secretary for Science and Technology. “This standard will help improve our long-term security by facilitating the interchange of digitally stored photographs, regardless of what equipment is used to take or to display the images.” Homeland security professionals will use the standard as technical criteria upon which to design equipment such as cameras and software for facial recognition. The standard supports visual human facial comparison and computer automated comparisons for watch list checks and for computer identification and verification. It also facilitates the interchange of photographs across systems, and will assist in the future development of interoperable biometric applications. “The Department, through the US-VISIT Program, has already moved forward with extensive work on biometrics and facial recognition standards. The adaptation of facial recognition standards is a first step in standardizing all types of biometrics which is essential for the success of Homeland Security programs,” said Under Secretary for Border and Transportation Security Asa Hutchinson. This standard was developed by the International Committee for Information Technology Standards (INCITS), a standards development organization accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). Homeland Security and its partners will continue to work on a regular basis with INCITS to revise these standards as biometric technology evolves. The standard (INCITS 385) is available from INCITS and from ANSI . The U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Science and Technology division serves as the primary research and development arm of the Department, utilizing our nation’s scientific and technological resources to provide federal, state and local officials with the technology and capabilities to protect the homeland. ### Home · FAQs · Contact Us · Privacy Policy · FOIA · Linking to DHS.gov No FEAR · Terms of Use · FirstGov · Accessibility · Site Map DHS Agencies U.S. Department of Homeland Security

CONTACT US Email the News Staff News Front Page > Health "Anti-Aging Hormone" Found in Mice; May Help Humans Brian Handwerk for National Geographic News August 25, 2005 Researchers have dramatically increased the life spans of mice bygenetically engineering them to overproduce a protein called klotho. Notsurprisingly, the discovery has spurred speculation that klotho couldhelp humans live longer. "We overexpressed the klotho gene to suppress aging, and we found that the average life span was 20 to 30 percent longer than in control animals," said pathologist Makoto Kuro-O, of the University of Texas' Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. Email to a Friend RELATED Anti-Aging Drug for Humans Hinted at by Worm Study 102-Year-Old Professor Hailed as Oldest U.S. Worker Burden of Aging Population "Less Than Feared," Study Says Discoveries May Help Unlock Secrets of Long Life The gene regulates production of klotho protein, which the study team says works like an anti-aging hormone. Kotho is involved in the suppression of insulin-signaling pathways—a process that has been shown to increase the life spans of worms and flies. "We concluded that the klotho gene is an aging-suppression gene that can extend life span when overexpressed and accelerate aging when disrupted," said Kuro-O, who was on the study team. Their findings will be published in tomorrow's issue of the journal Science. Benefit to Humans? So, how might this relate to humans? For starters, humans have a klotho gene almost identical to that in mice. Studies have shown that natural alterations of the klotho gene in both humans and mice can cause increased aging-related problems, such as muscular atrophy and hardening of the arteries. "It makes for the intriguing possibility that the things found in mice [both good and bad] will also prove relevant to people," said Hal Dietz, professor of genetics at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore. Now that the new study has shown that boosting klotho can generate longer mouse life spans, could humans benefit as well? "I believe that the klotho gene can also regulate human aging," Kuro-O cautions. "So of course the immediate speculation would be that we could inject humans with klotho protein and extend human life span. "But we just don't know," Kuro-O adds. "It might someday be an option for the treatment of aging. ... " Klotho is likely an important key to how humans age, but not a single regulator. The gene is tied to some age-related afflictions. But it has not been linked to others, such as cancer or Alzheimer's disease.

Skin that is clear, smooth, and radiant proclaims good health and lends tremendous confidence to how you feel about your appearance. By following some fundamental rules and by giving your skin everything it needs to function at its peak, you have the formula for younger, healthier, smoother skin at any age. GREAT SKIN IN YOUR TWENTIES In your twenties, you are probably enjoying some of the best skin of your life—moist, smooth, and supple skin. However, your skin cell renewal rate has already dropped, and dead cells aren't being shed quite as easily, leaving your skin dull. And the acne of your teenage years might still be hanging around. 1 This is a great time to establish a beneficial skin care regimen that will keep your skin in great shape while protecting it against damage from the environment. Use a gentle cleanser that removes dirt and dead cells while moisturizing. Follow with a toner to add radiance and restore proper pH balance. Then apply a product to preserve youthful collagen and elastin in your skin. Finally, use a good moisturizer and SPF 15 sunscreen to guard against the sun's damaging rays. If you're still struggling with acne, consider using a cleanser, toner, and lotion that have been specifically formulated to clear and calm irritated skin, manage oil levels, and protect against future breakouts. GREAT SKIN IN YOUR THIRTIES In your thirties, sunlight and environmental pollution will have begun to have noticeable effects on your skin's collagen. And with collagen production naturally dropping, you might be noticing some wrinkles and sagging as your skin doesn't bounce back quite as readily as it used to. 1 Keep a cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen as part of your daily regimen. To counter the damage being done by the environment, it's also important to get a balanced diet rich in antioxidants such as vitamins A, B, C and E. These and other powerful antioxidants protect your skin against free radical damage and help your skin repair itself, and stay healthy looking and moist. Finally, a product that contains polyhydroxy acids (PHAs) can help stimulate cell renewal and enhance your skin's radiance for a smooth, more youthful looking complexion. You might also like to try a home microdermabrasion treatment. This kind of treatment can quickly and gently polish your skin while removing dull skin cells and toxins for a fresher, healthier looking appearance. GREAT SKIN IN YOUR FORTIES In your forties, your skin's sebum production slows down, meaning your skin is getting dryer. Plus, you are losing fat beneath your skin's outer layer, which means your skin is becoming more fragile. You are losing the elasticity that made your skin spring back, and you are probably noticing more wrinkles appearing and getting deeper. 1 With dryer skin, you may benefit from an antioxidant-rich cleanser and a hydrating moisturizer. Also, a product containing procollagen peptides can help soften lines and wrinkles around your mouth, eyes, and forehead. Continue to include plenty of antioxidants in your diet to help your skin repair itself, and never stop protecting your skin with sunscreen. GREAT SKIN IN YOUR FIFTIES AND BEYOND As you pass your fifties, the pigment cells in your skin may clump together more, creating "age spots." Plus, your skin has lost much of its plumpness and tone, and may be drier, more itchy, and more sensitive to allergens. It is thinner and more fragile, and takes longer to heal. 1 In addition to cleansing and moisturizing, consider adding a skin brightening system to your skin care regimen to reduce skin discoloration and achieve a more even tone. Continue to apply pro-collagen peptides, and don't slack off on getting the antioxidants your skin needs to combat environmental damage and maintain its healthy look and radiance. Also, a product designed to help increase elastin production while slowing elastin degradation can help to firm up sagging, undefined skin around your chin, eyes, and jaw. The greater understanding we have today about taking care of skin, combined with advanced skin care products and technology, gives you the formula for great skin at any age. By paying attention to your skin's needs, adopting beneficial skin care habits, and applying today's skin care advances, you can have fresher, smoother, more radiant skin now and for many years to come. 1 http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/womenshealth/features/greatskin.htm Home : Nu Skin Enterprises : Live Better, Longer : Force for Good : Nourish the Children : Site Map
