Cricket's Huawei Mercury Ice gets redesigned, hitting Radio Shack Sep. 5

Huawei Mercury Ice

Huawei has redesigned, renamed and re-released the Mercury (aka the Huawei Honor), and Cricket is bringing it to Radio Shack on September 5. In addition to the new handle, the phone's face is now offered in a pearl white, and just like we told you yesterday, unlimited MUVE music is part of the package. Fifty dollars a month for unlimited talk, text, data, and music streaming isn't a bad deal at all.

Unfortunately, the software doesn't seem to have been updated and it's still running on Gingerbread under Huawei's tweaks. We've got no information about any pricing, but we expect it to be priced competitively. 

Certainly this is no barn burner, but with a fairly decent Ice Cream Sandwich ROM in the wild and a respectable hacking community, it may be worth traveling to your local Radio Shack to have a look. There's a couple more pics after the break

Thanks, Anon!

Over 8,000 regime forces killed in Syria: military hospital

DAMASCUS: More than 8,000 members of the security forces have been killed since Syria's anti-regime uprising broke out in March 2011, the director of the capital's Tishrin military hospital said Thursday.

"I estimate that at least 8,000 soldiers and members of the security forces have been killed since the beginning of the crisis," the director, a doctor who also holds the rank of general, said on condition of not being named.

"Every day, we receive an average of 15 to 20 bodies of soldiers and members of security forces, with the numbers increasing since the beginning of the year," he told an AFP reporter.

Tishrin received 47 bodies Wednesday, but in late July -- when fighting raged in the capital as the rebels trying to seize control -- "we received more than 100 people daily for three days," the doctor said.

"Approximately 70 percent of military casualties are transported to our hospital and the rest are sent to hospitals in other provinces," he added.

Around 60 percent of the victims were killed by gunfire, while 35 percent died in explosions, including anti-tank rockets, and five percent were "slaughtered or beheaded," according to the general.

The number of wounded was "somewhat higher," the general said, without giving an exact figure. He noted, however, that the vast majority of injuries were to the legs and arms.

According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, nearly 6,500 soldiers and members of the security forces have been killed over the past 17 months, out of a total death toll of more than 25,000 people, mostly civilians.

Gene Grant: Abroad in New Mexico

By Gene Grant

The start of the college school year is upon us. And that means money is being spent?on housing, on electronics, on school books and furniture.

Imagine you are an international student coming in from India, China, Mexico, South Korea or Germany. (Those are, in order, the top five countries sending students to New Mexico.) Preparation for the semester is more complicated and expensive for those families.

Add up all this kind of activity nationwide, and some serious cash is being dropped by international students. The competition to attract them is fierce due to the enormous financial and cultural largesse they bring to campuses and cities.

More than $20 billion was added to this nation's economy last year from spending by foreign students and their families.

Incoming University of New Mexico president Dr. Bob Frank gets this. During his initial swing through town, he made sure to mention the need for more international students is at the top of his list. We would be well-served to listen because with a vigorous, strategic and culturally appropriate five- to 10-year plan, this city could see a profound tweak in its makeup inside a generation.

If I told you the economic impact of international students is $55 million statewide, you might think that's pretty hot. Compare that sum to other states, and it starts to look paltry.

Here's the bad news: We are 41st in the nation in snagging international students. There is a lot of room to grow, clearly.

More than $20 billion was added to this nation's economy last year from spending by foreign students and their families, according to the Association of International Educators in its annual Open Doors report. Since no one can seem to agree on a formula, there are estimates out there that suggest $20 billion could be an undercount?a big one.

Frank has been witness. Ohio, where he worked at Kent State, ranked No. 8 nationwide and took in more than $662 million.

In the last academic year, New Mexico had 2,724 international students statewide, with UNM hosting 1,013 and NMSU hosting 1,162.

By comparison, Kent State had 1,503, but as many as 24,709 went to Ohio.

Inside the numbers is a troubling problem: The Land of Enchantment has been trending downward. Nationally, most states are seeing an increase in international students as their numbers in the U.S. have been rising overall. But New Mexico saw a 6 percent decline last year.

There could be a variety of reasons, but what should be clear is the international marketplace is not buying what we are offering. That's an indictment in a global economy.

I think Frank knows this. In order for UNM to maintain viability as an institution, there's an expectation of a bigger international presence. During my interview with Frank on KNME, he proposed to add 800 more international students, putting us in line with modern trends.

But inside that goal is the ultimate challenge: How a university does or does not serve its visiting student body is fantastically complicated. It's hard for these students. Universities previously thought offering a student volunteer and a counselor would be enough, but the isolation, alienation and depression that can sneak in are often unseen problems.

International students cite a loss of social status as a major contributing factor in surveys. A lot of these visitors were popular back home, and American indifference takes a toll. Those surveys also reveal not nearly as much social interaction with classmates as you might expect. This will need attention.

The good news is there are opportunities for UNM. It's interesting to note that Mexico commands 10 percent of our international student makeup, a stout percentage compared with almost every other state. Arizona, for obvious reasons, has seen that number plummet to 4 percent.

India, UNM's top country for students at 16.7 percent, dropped a percentage point nationwide last year. So what are we doing right? Germany, our No. 5, does not register anywhere else in the Southwest and is only 12th nationally. What are we offering German students?

The number of Chinese students in the United States is climbing, too. Last year, they were nearly a quarter of the international student population. Chinese students make up 15 percent of international students at UNM, second to Indians. This number will surely rise. Are we prepared?

Sure, it will take resources for New Mexico to draw more international students. But if the regents can jump on this opportunity, the return on investment is without question.

This is an opportunity for the city, too. We could see a period soon where some of our immigrant communities that have gained a toehold in the International District suddenly take on a new value. These communities are a critical part of the infrastructure necessary for international students? social and academic success.

We have the pieces. Some may need work, but if Frank can stitch this together, we will all benefit.

Gene Grant is host of "New Mexico in Focus" on KNME. The International District?s day is coming, people. Be joyful. Be very joyful.

Logitech unveils lineup of UE headphones for in, on, and around your ears

Logitech acquired Ultimate Ears awhile back to take advantage of its experience with professional audio, and now it's leveraged some of that institutional knowledge to create a UE line of headphones aimed at consumers. First up, there's the $100 UE 4000 on-ear model that comes in three colors: black, blue and magenta, plus a detachable cord with an in-line mic and audio controls compatible with iOS devices. The UE 6000 model takes things up a notch with an over-ear design that folds up for easy storage on the go, has an in-line remote, plus it adds active noise cancellation technology for $200. Then there's the UE 9000 Bluetooth wireless cans that also have ANC and a full suite of on-ear controls for iPhone or iPad, which can be had for $400. Lastly, there's the $400 UE 900 in-ear headphones sporting a quad-armature design and two sets braided cables -- one with in-line controls, and one without. All of the UE models start shipping in the US today, and will be available in Europe next month. We got to try on and try out all of Logitech's new gear for a brief listening session awhile back, so join us after the break for our impressions.

Visual programming means anyone can be a coder

Coding by tweaking on-screen shapes and drawings could revolutionise computer programming, making it accessible to all

MANY great ideas start out as scribbles on scraps of paper, as thinking visually is an intuitive way to grapple with abstract concepts. Part of the reason is the immediacy - thoughts can be captured and communicated in a sketch and, if wrong, changed or scratched out just as quickly. Not so for computer programmers.

A program is a set of instructions for turning input - such as numerical values - into output. The causal chain is one-way. To change the output, you have to trace the chain back to the relevant instructions and change what they do with the input. This can make hunting down errors in the program or simply experimenting with different outputs an unintuitive process of jumping back-and-forth.

Artist and programmer Toby Schachman thinks we can do better. As part of his thesis project for the Interactive Telecommunications Program at New York University, he developed an experimental programming interface called Recursive Drawing, in which programmers can incrementally build up complex fractal-like structures. The design lets them manipulate the underlying source code by simply dragging parts of the patterns around. "When people describe algorithms they'll give a spatial analogy almost all the time," says Schachman. Though still in its early stages, the ideas behind the interface could change the way programming is done. Think of interacting with Photoshop.

"The form that you're working in resembles the thing that you're creating," says Schachman - there is no need to worry about changing the underlying code. His prototype works in much the same way. He will present it at the Splash programming conference in Tucson, Arizona, in October.

He's not alone in wanting to simplify the coding process. Bret Victor, who has designed user interfaces for Apple, is another developer who wants to open up programming to a wider community. "To write code you essentially have to play computer. You have to simulate in your head what each line of code would do," he said in a talk last year at the Canadian University Software Engineering Conference. "So much of creation is about discovery and you can't discover anything if you can't see what you're doing."

Schachman's approach is a good start, agrees Peter van Roy, a computer scientist at the Catholic University of Louvain (UCL) in Belgium and developer of FractaSketch, a graphical design tool based on fractals that has been used in the fashion industry. "Text-based programming is still the best way to give precise instructions to a computer," he says. But there's a big gap between writing the text and seeing what the running program does. "Bringing in graphical ideas like Schachman does can definitely reduce this gap," he adds

Sara Jones at City University in London, who is researching creative techniques for software development, says Recursive Drawing is part of a trend that will help to democratise programming. "It opens up the process of programming to a broader community of people, including artists, architects and designers, for whom the unnecessary translation of ideas into text may constitute a frustrating and unwelcome block to the flow of creative ideas," she says.

This will help make your site more recognizable and help your customers know what you and your website are all about. Doing this is a great way to bring attention to services that you offer.

One way to market your business online would be to create a website that covers all public relations issues. High quality content may end up in online newspapers and magazines. It is relatively simple to do, and is an excellent way of promoting your business.

Sometimes webmasters forget the benefit of keeping websites clean and simple. Multimedia tools like Silverlight and Flash are cool and seductive to new website owners. Flashy website tools like these, offering full screen video, are pushed all the time by website designers. Wise webmasters remember that using specific technologies renders their websites useless to some prospects. A well designed website that encourages business finds a way to be fully functional, even without the latest shiny and flashy features.

Use of these fonts can help convey messages to your readers, as well as help organize the appearance of your article.

Consider having a discussion forum so that customers can leave messages for you and chat with each other. Your website will be like a group instead of just a place where items can be purchased. It is natural for people to want to be part of a group, and if you give them that feeling, they are more likely to return to your site.

Consider using phrases such as ?special addition? in your advertisements. People generally want to own items which are exclusive, so using these phrases in your marketing materiel can tempt people to purchase your product quickly.

Create a FAQ page to advertise products. Offer an answer to each question, and mention products you offer as a solution to the problem when it is appropriate. Come up with questions that answer a customer?s thoughts without being too obvious that you are using your products to do it.

TIP! Make the most of your website if you want to effectively market it. Make sure that your site is easy to read, contains engaging information and answers to questions visitors may have.

Put yourself in the shoes of your potential customers, and think about what they might expect upon visiting your site. Providing what your customers desire can increase the chance that they will purchase. Ask people you trust for opinions on your website. Ask friends or family members about some of the things that you can improve. Make adjustments as you go along until your site is as effective as possible.

It can be a difficult job to choose your business direction for your website. You should list your interests and select the top few to see which interest will be the direction you will take with your business. You should be interested in what you will be marketing. It is much easier to market a website if you have a concrete goal in mind.

TIP! One absolute Internet marketing necessity is information security. You need to take every possible step to protect your customers? information when they buy from you.

Make sure you keep good records. This information should encompass traffic, conversions, sales, refunds and anything else that is measurable.

TIP! Promote your business through other popular sites online. With the right investment, you can get your company and your products seen by a vast audience.

As stated previously, the ultimate goal of any business should be longevity. You most likely want to be in business for years and years. Use these hints to get your started with internet marketing

PFT: NFL seeks two games per year in London

Brian Schottenheimer

Maybe being so close to the riverboats has brought out the gambler in Jeff Fisher.

The rather conservative Rams coach has been rolling the dice this preseason, going for six fourth-down conversions already in two games, the kind of rate that would lead the league in aggressive play-calling in the regular season.

Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch points out that the Rams have averaged 17.4 fourth-down conversion attempts per year in their 17 years since moving from Los Angeles. And in 16 years with the Oilers-Titans, Fisher averaged 15.6 per season.

So why now?

?Well, I know both kickers can kick 20-yard field goals, 30-yard field goals,? said Fisher, referring to Greg Zuerlein and Garrett Lindholm. ?In the preseason, why not try to make plays on offense? So that?s basically it. Obviously the philosophy changes during the regular season ? [with] momentum, flow, and field position.

?But I don?t think we need to kick 35-yard field goals in the preseason, especially if it?s fourth and less than 4. The longer the down and distance is, the less likely you have an opportunity to convert.?

Part of Fisher?s rationale is to give opponents something to think about, to game-plan for the possibility of something that might not be there in September.

But there?s a human element to it as well.

?I enjoy it immensely,? wide receiver Danny Amendola said, smiling. ?I don?t like punting. I?m not a punter, I?m not on the punt team, so I don?t like it.?

Since no one cares about the results in the preseason, it?s easy to like Fisher?s mindset. And if it rubs off on a team that could use a shot of confidence, why not?

US allows NGOs to transfer earthquake aid money to Iran

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States will temporarily allow non-governmental organizations to transfer money to Iran to help the country rebuild from an earthquake disaster, the Treasury said on Tuesday.

The United States has an array of sanctions in place against its foe Iran, which U.S. officials accuse of seeking to build nuclear weapons.

Iran was hit by two powerful earthquakes on August 11 that flattened villages in the northwest of the country and killed more than 300 people.

Treasury said it was issuing a license that will temporarily allow NGOs to transfer up to $300,000 into Iran for reconstruction activity until October 5.

"The general license is a demonstration of (the) administration's commitment to supporting the Iranian people affected by this tragedy," Treasury said in a statement.

To transfer more than $300,000 to Iran, NGOs will need to apply for a special license, Treasury said.

Next generation 3-D theater: Optical science may make glasses a thing of the past

Next generation 3-D theater: Optical science may make glasses a thing of the past

Monday, August 20, 2012

From the early days of cinema, film producers have used various techniques to create the illusion of depth ? with mixed results. But even with digital technology, the latest Hollywood blockbusters still rely on clunky glasses to achieve a convincing 3-D effect.

New optics research by a team of South Korean investigators offers the prospect of glasses-free, 3-D display technology for commercial theaters. Their new technique, described in a paper published today in the Optical Society's (OSA) open-access journal Optics Express, can bring this added dimension while using space more efficiently and at a lower cost than current 3-D projection technology.

"There has been much progress in the last 10 years in improving the viewers' experience with 3-D," notes the team's lead researcher Byoungho Lee, professor at the School of Electrical Engineering, Seoul National University in South Korea. "We want to take it to the next step with a method that, if validated by further research, might constitute a simple, compact, and cost-effective approach to producing widely available 3-D cinema, while also eliminating the need for wearing polarizing glasses."

Polarization is one of the fundamental properties of light; it describes how light waves vibrate in a particular direction?up and down, side-to-side, or anywhere in between. Sunlight, for example, vibrates in many directions. To create modern 3-D effects, movie theaters use linearly or circularly polarized light. In this technique, two projectors display two similar images, which are slightly offset, simultaneously on a single screen. Each projector allows only one state of polarized light to pass through its lens. By donning the familiar polarized glasses, each eye perceives only one of the offset images, creating the depth cues that the brain interprets as three dimensions.

The two-projector method, however, is cumbersome, so optical engineers have developed various single projector methods to achieve similar effects. The parallax barrier method, for example, succeeds in creating the illusion of 3-D, but it is cumbersome as well, as it requires a combination of rear projection video and physical barriers or optics between the screen and the viewer. Think of these obstructions as the slats in a venetian blind, which create a 3-D effect by limiting the image each eye sees. The South Korean team has developed a new way to achieve the same glasses-free experience while using a single front projector against a screen.

In their system, the Venetian blinds' "slat" effect is achieved by using polarizers, which stop the passage of light after it reflects off the screen. To block the necessary portion of light, the researchers added a specialized coating to the screen known as a quarter-wave retarding film. This film changes the polarization state of light so it can no longer pass through the polarizers.

As the light passes back either through or between the polarizing slates, the offset effect is created, producing the depth cues that give a convincing 3-D effect to the viewer, without the need for glasses.

The team's experimental results reported today show the method can be used successfully in two types of 3-D displays. The first is the parallax barrier method, described above, which uses a device placed in front of a screen enabling each eye to see slightly different, offset images. The other projection method is integral imaging, which uses a two-dimensional array of many small lenses or holes to create 3-D effects.

"Our results confirm the feasibility of this approach, and we believe that this proposed method may be useful for developing the next generation of a glasses-free projection-type 3-D display for commercial theaters," notes Lee.

As a next step in their research, the team hopes to refine the method, and apply it to developing other single-projector, frontal methods of 3-D display, using technologies such as passive polarization-activated lens arrays and the lenticular lens approach.

While their experimental results are promising, it may be several years until this technology can be effectively deployed in your local movie theater for you to enjoy without polarizing glasses.

What You Can Do To Improve Your Nutritional Intake : Premier Diet ...

Posted by haleyjonas on Tuesday, August 21, 2012 ? Leave a Comment?

People often think of nutrition as boring. Following a healthy diet shouldn?t be boring. On the contrary, nutrition encompasses many new perspectives on food. Remember when reading the following advice that food is ultimately what fuels your brain and body.

Eating one egg each day can provide you with protein and contribute to a diet high in essential nutrients. If you want to avoid cholesterol and fat you can separate the egg white from the yolk and eat only the whites. The whites are rich in nutrients and contain no fat or cholesterol.

TIP! Be sure to eat a rainbow of colorful fruits and vegetables. Produce with bright colors almost always has a lot of vitamins and minerals compared to its calorie count.

Begin your nutritional journey with small steps. You know you need to boost the nutrition your diet provides. But if you try to improve it all at once, you are almost sure to resume your former diet before long. If you want to make the changes in your diet last, you should take it slow. Begin by simply cutting down on caffeine and trying to eat more fruit. Once you are comfortable with the changes you have made, think about adding in some more. In no time at all, you will have overhauled your diet with regards to nutrition.

Staying healthy as possible should include; eating lean meat, omega-3 rich fish, whole grains, low-fat milk, nuts, and many varieties of vegetables and fruits. This kind of diet will keep you in optimal health.

TIP! Keep sodium intake as low as possible. Eating a lot of sodium has been shown to cause many health problems such as kidney failure or even heart disease.

It is essential to ingest protein everyday. Not only do proteins assist in muscle growth, but it is also helpful for your skin and other organs. Additionally, they help with your metabolism of energy and your cell processes. Consuming plenty of protein also helps build up your body?s immune system to fight off disease. Fish, legumes, tofu, and lean meat are all great protein sources.

Find substitutes for your high-fat dairy ingredients. If you try low fat dairy instead of whole milk products it will help you. Use yogurt instead of sour cream in a recipe. If you need cream, use fat-free evaporated milk. If your recipe calls for cream cheese, try using ricotta instead. You can save calories without giving up great taste by using these substitutions.

TIP! Proper nutrition is vital for nursing or pregnant women. Protein is highly necessary for pregnant women, though it can be difficult to supply when the mother-to-be may not feel the desire to eat.

This means sneaking some healthy ingredients into foods in such a way that you don?t notice them. This is a great trick to use with kids who won?t eat anything but chicken nuggets, as well as someone like you who is trying to improve his or her nutrition. You can add nutrition to meals by adding dry milk to your baking, or you could shred carrots into spaghetti sauce. People will be getting some healthy foods and they won?t even know it.

Foods high in potassium, like sweet potatoes and bananas, are important for good nutrition. Potassium is important to lower your blood pressure and aid in preventing health problems, like diabetes and heart disease. There is also a lot of potassium in certain dairy items, including milk and yogurt.

TIP! You can reach your goal of a healthy, balanced diet just by counting to five. What does that number signify? Simply the amount of servings of vegetables and fruits that you should have each day.

Read the labels of prepared foods carefully. Double check all foods because some foods that are labeled ?reduced-fat? are actually higher in salt, sugar and a variety of other unhealthy additives. Highly processed foods are not ideal for losing weight. Any label that is trustworthy is a label that has ingredients which are common and that people know what they are. Avoid buying foods with a lot of artificial ingredients listed on their label.

TIP! Nutrition is an important part of your emotional well being and health. Certain nutritional deficiencies can lead to depression, fatigue or other mental health issues.

Try a different grade of milk. Drinking skim or one percent milk gives you the exact amount of nutrition and two percent milk, but without the large amount calories and fat. This change will help you feel much better since you are consuming less fat, and you are still getting all of your needed nutrients.

When you are thirsty, avoid drinking soda. One of the first ingredients in soda is usually corn syrup, which is one of the worst types of sugar for your body. Some sodas contain citric acid, this acid may deteriorate teeth. Most sodas also contain corn syrup, which is high in sugar and accelerates bacteria growth on teeth.

TIP! Include 600-900 milligrams of garlic in your diet daily. Garlic has long been known as an effective folk remedy for fighting disease.

Tailor your diet, focusing on improving nutrition. Sugars add no nutrition to your diet whatsoever, so cut out as much sugar from your diet as possible. Foods that have been bleached, such as with rice, are not as healthy as the brown versions. Eat healthy fats, because saturated and trans fats are not good for the health of your heart.

Inventing new ways to prepare your meals can be of tremendous benefit to a nutritious diet. The fat content in fried foods can be eliminated by choosing healthier alternatives such as steaming or grilling. Food preparation is an important element of creating a healthy diet.

TIP! Don?t even think about neglecting to eat breakfast. Some people skip breakfast thinking it will ?save? calories.

As you can see, eating a balanced, nutritious diet is easy and fun. There is a lot of room for creativity in the world of food, so it is a wonderful way to enhance your quality of life without limiting yourself. These tips are only the beginning to a new, healthier you!

Would you like to improve your diet without spending a lot of time on the process? Cook meals at home in advance to shave off the time required to eat healthy. This way, you are getting a nutritious meal every night.

TIP! A big obstacle on the way to a healthier lifestyle is breaking the junk food addiction. If you have been eating fast food for years, you must be used to the taste and crave unhealthy items.

Compounds shown to thwart stubborn pathogen's social propensity

ScienceDaily (Aug. 21, 2012) ? Acinetobacter baumanni, a pathogenic bacterium that is a poster child of deadly hospital acquired infections, is one tough customer.

It resists most antibiotics, is seemingly immune to disinfectants, and can survive desiccation with ease. Indeed, the prevalence with which it infects soldiers wounded in Iraq earned it the nickname "Iraqibacter."

In the United States, it is the bane of hospitals, opportunistically infecting patients through open wounds, catheters and breathing tubes. Some estimates suggest it kills tens of thousands of people annually.

But like many species of bacteria, A. baumanni is a social creature. In order to unleash its pathogenic potential, current research suggests that it must accumulate into large colonies or aggregate into "biofilms." To do this, it uses a microbial trick called quorum sensing, where chemical signals are used by the bacterium to gather and sense a critical mass of cells, which then act in unison to exert virulence, which in human patients can manifest itself in the form of pneumonia as well as urinary tract and blood infections.

Interfering with the quorum sensing behavior, some scientists think, may prove to be the Achilles heel of A. baumanni and other microbial pathogens, and new research by chemists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison now gives traction to that idea.

In a study by UW-Madison chemistry Professor Helen Blackwell and her colleagues, and published online in the journal ACS Chemical Biology, certain small molecule chemicals that can disrupt quorum sensing in A. baumanni have been identified, providing a glimmer of hope that the stubborn pathogen can be tamed.

"Right now, there are no approved drugs out there to modulate (quorum sensing), explains Blackwell, a leading expert on the phenomenon in microbes. "The strategy is not to kill the bacterium, but to keep it from behaving badly."

Blackwell explains that A. baumanni and other bacterial pathogens behave differently once a certain population threshold is crossed: "When working as a group, they initiate behaviors different from those observed in an individual cell. They have the ability to take on more complex tasks, and many pathogens use quorum sensing to initiate certain group behaviors."

In A. baumanni and other troublesome microbes, those behaviors include increased virulence and the ability to form biofilms, a state that in A. baumanni is linked it its ability to persist on surfaces, sometimes for weeks at a time, and withstand antibiotic treatment.

Quorum sensing is governed by chemical signaling, notes Blackwell. Bacteria can get a sense of how many cells have gathered by assessing the concentration of chemical signals that they emit. By interfering with those signals, it may be possible to control behaviors such as biofilm formation and movement and thereby limit the virulence of A. baumanni.

"The way a quorum sensing modulator would work is that it wouldn't kill (the microbes), it would just just keep them from behaving badly," says Blackwell.

Combing libraries of potential quorum sensing modulators, Blackwell and her colleagues have identified a handful of compounds that effectively disrupt the signaling pathway A. baumanni depends on.

Although the compounds look promising, Blackwell emphasizes that they will likely find their first use in the lab as research tools. Quorum sensing is still not well understood, she explains, and much more research needs to be done before these compounds or others can be deployed in hospitals and other settings to disrupt deadly pathogens.

However, Blackwell expressed confidence that more such quorum sensing compounds remain to be found and next-generation agents may then be ready to tackle pathogens that are rapidly evolving resistance to our best drugs.

In addition to Blackwell, co-authors of the new research include graduate students Danielle M. Stacy and Michael A. Welsh, also of UW-Madison's Department of Chemistry; and Prof. Philip N. Rather of Emory University. The work was funded by the National Institutes of Health, the Greater Milwaukee Foundation Shaw Scientist Program, the Burroughs Wellcome Fund, and Johnson & Johnson.

Best Ideas For Marketing Your Business On Line Now | Sem Road ...

Internet marketing is often seen as a difficult business, but that is only true if you don?t know the right way to do it. Like anything else, you need to be educated about the business models if you want to be successful.

Use your handwriting to your advantage. Write a handwritten letter and scan in it to your website to show customers that a real person is behind it. Customers enjoy it when a website is personable, so writing a guarantee in your own script shows customers that you are trustworthy and dependable.

Internet marketing is inevitably intertwined with search engine optimization; solidifying a strong search engine optimization strategy is critical. Search engine optimization helps people find your website and, by extension, your brand?s marketing messages. Much of your marketing will be more effective if you can lead people to your own online property effectively through search engine optimization.

Memory and product recognition are key in internet marketing, so use logos and slogans to help brand you and your products. The easier it is for people to remember your products, the better off you will be when they want to purchase again. Even the most obscure products can be sold with ease, if they have a catchy slogan.

When you are buying a domain for your business, consider purchasing domains your website could be mistaken for. For example, if you make a misstep going to Google, googel.com will still redirect you to your intended destination. By purchasing similar domain names, you can ensure that your customers will hit their target every time.

Social networking is a big part of increasing traffic to your site, so you should make it easy for users to share your information with others on these sites. If you have a Retweet button, a +1 button or a Facebook Like button on your site, then every time it is pressed your site is reaching a larger audience.

If there is a way to send out press releases for events happening at your website or events related to your business. Make it something that is truly newsworthy and you never know who will pick it up. The more exposure you can get for your business and your product, the better. You never know what stories will be picked up on a slow news day.

You should reward the visitors that have given you help, by promoting their links on your homepage. This will help in two ways: It will show users that helping is rewarded, prompting them to do it more. And, it shows that you appreciate all of your users.

You have the tools and the skill set to apply a proper marketing plan that can successfully promote your business online. The tips in this article were constructed to add to your marketing plan, as you are never done learning or improving. You may have even found a new technique to employ.

Brain enzyme is double whammy for Alzheimer's disease

Monday, August 20, 2012

The underlying causes of Alzheimer's disease are not fully understood, but a good deal of evidence points to the accumulation of ?-amyloid, a protein that's toxic to nerve cells. ?-amyloid is formed by the activity of several enzymes, including one called BACE1. Most Alzheimer's disease patients have elevated levels of BACE1, which in turn leads to more brain-damaging ?-amyloid protein. In a paper published August 15 in The Journal of Neuroscience, researchers at Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute (Sanford-Burnham) found that BACE1 does more than just help produce ?-amyloid?it also regulates another cellular process that contributes to memory loss. This means that just inhibiting BACE1's enzymatic activity as a means to prevent or treat Alzheimer's disease isn't enough?researchers will have to prevent cells from making it at all.

"Memory loss is a big problem?not just in Alzheimer's disease, but also in the normal aging population," said Huaxi Xu, Ph.D., professor in Sanford-Burnham's Del E. Webb Neuroscience, Aging, and Stem Cell Research Center and senior author of the study. "In this study, we wanted to better understand how BACE1 plays a role in memory loss, apart from ?-amyloid production."

To do this, Xu and his team used a mouse model that produces human BACE1. Mice produce a different type of ?-amyloid, one that's far less toxic than the human version. So, in this system, they could look solely at how BACE1 functions independent from ?-amyloid formation. If BACE1 only acted to produce ?-amyloid, the researchers would expect to see no effect when mice produce human BACE1?since mouse ?-amyloid isn't very toxic, extra BACE1 would be no big deal. Instead, they saw that the enzyme still impaired learning and memory, indicating a secondary function at work.

If it's not producing ?-amyloid, what is BACE1 doing? Many years ago, scientists found that a protein in the brain?protein kinase A (PKA), better known for directing cellular metabolism?also plays an important role in memory formation. In this study, Xu and colleagues found that BACE1 disrupts the cell's production of other molecules required for PKA function. By that mechanism, BACE1 inactivates PKA and therefore inhibits memory formation in mice, even in the absence of neurotoxic ?-amyloid.

"So BACE1 is a double whammy when it comes to memory," Xu said. "But that also means that a therapy that targets BACE1 could be a double punch against Alzheimer's disease, and even just normal aging-related memory loss. That's why we're now looking for ways to block BACE1 expression in the brain."

Lowe's misses estimates, lags Home Depot

(Reuters) - Lowe's Cos Inc reported weaker-than-expected quarterly results and cut its profit outlook for the fiscal year as the world's second-largest home improvement chain lost market share to larger rival Home Depot Inc .

Lowe's shares fell more than 8 percent in premarket trading.

The lacklustre results came just days after Home Depot beat Wall Street's quarterly profit estimates with the help of cost controls and market share gains, and raised its earnings outlook for the year.

Lowe's recently decided to offer fewer discounts on expensive items like appliances, in sync with its bigger plan to offer "everyday low prices" rather than promotions. The move has driven some shoppers away.

Sales suffered in the traditionally strong second quarter, which ended on August 3, as unseasonably warm weather early in the year pulled some demand into the first quarter.

Sales at Lowe's stores open at least a year fell 0.4 percent, including a 0.2 percent decrease for the U.S. business, marking the 13th straight quarter that the company trailed Home Depot Inc in same-store sales.

"Lowe's inability to drive sales despite discounting remains a concern," Janney analyst David Strasser said in a research note.

Net earnings fell to $747 million (476 million pounds), or 64 cents a share, from $830 million, or 64 cents a share, a year earlier.

Analysts on average had expected a profit of 70 cents a share, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.

Sales fell 2 percent to $14.25 billion, while analysts had expected $14.46 billion.

Lowe's, which has stores in the United States, Canada and Mexico, now expects flat total sales for the fiscal year ending on February 1. It forecast earnings of $1.64 a share for the period, compared with an outlook of $1.73 to $1.83 that it gave in May.

Lowe's shares were down 8.1 percent at $25.60 in trading before the market opened.
