ScienceDaily (Oct. 22, 2012) ? For animals as well as people, diet affects what grows in the gut. The gut microbial colonies, also known as the gut microbiome, begin to form at birth. Their composition affects how the immune system develops and is linked to the later onset of metabolic diseases such as obesity.

Common wisdom is that cats, by nature carnivorous, are healthiest when fed high-protein diets. Researchers at the University of Illinois wanted to find out if this is true.

"There are a lot of diets now, all natural, that have high protein and fat and not much dietary fiber or carbohydrates," said animal sciences researcher Kelly Swanson. He and his team examined the effect of dietary protein:carbohydrate ratio on the gut microbiomes of growing kittens.

One month before mating, eight domestic shorthair female cats were randomly assigned to one of two dry diets: high-protein, low-carbohydrate (HPLC) or moderate-protein, moderate-carbohydrate (MPMC). When the kittens were born, they were housed with their mothers until they were 8 weeks old, weaned, and then fed the same diets as their mothers.

After weaning, the 30+ kittens were twin- and triple-housed within the dietary-group cages. They were allowed to go into a common area furnished with toys and scratching posts to play with people and each other.

"It became quite a party right away," said Swanson. "It was a bit chaotic but fun as well."

Twelve of the kittens became part of the study. The researchers took fecal samples at weaning and 4 and 8 weeks after weaning. They extracted bacterial DNA and used bioinformatics techniques to estimate total bacterial diversity.

"This was one of the first studies in cats to use sequencing to really lay out what is in the gut in regards to microbiota and apply it to nutrition," Swanson said.

The researchers found important differences between the two groups in microbiome composition. As they had expected, levels of proteolytic bacteria (which break down protein) were higher for kittens on the HPLC diet and levels of saccharolytic bacteria (which break down carbohydrates) were higher for kittens on the MPMC diet.

They also looked at relationships between the diets and physiology. The kittens fed the MPMC diet had high levels of bifidobacteria, which was linked to higher blood ghrelin levels. Ghrelin is a hormone that stimulates appetite and thus may be linked to weight gain.

At the same time, the bifidobacteria may promote better gastrointestinal health. Low levels in humans have been linked to inflammatory bowel disease.

Other bacteria found at higher levels in the MPMC kittens, including lactobacilli, are also linked to gut health. The researchers found a positive relationship between lactobacilli, blood cholesterol, and blood leptin levels. Leptin is the signal that tells the body to stop eating. Hence, lactobacilli may be linked to cholesterol metabolism, appetite, and body weight regulation.

Although kittens fed the HPLC diet had lower levels of some health-promoting bacteria, including Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus, and Megasphaera, all the animals were healthy throughout the study.

Swanson hopes to use the associations found in this study as a basis for further research. "There were some interesting observations that could have applications for disease or the practical side of owning a pet," he said.

"The cat is fairly unique metabolically," he added, "But when it comes to gut microbes, there are a lot of similarities to other species. If you feed the bacteria in a cat, dog, or human colon the same substrate, there are probably going to be similar outcomes."

As a centrepiece in the World Squash Federation?s bid for Olympic inclusion, Hong Kong Open, having been recognised as one of the favourite and best-organised events, would showcase the best of the sport to impress the IOC delegation.

?Hong Kong Squash is very proud to hold the Hong Kong Open for the 27th time with the support of Cathay Pacific, Sun Hung Kai Financial and all other co-sponsors? said Mr David Mui, MH, JP, Chairman of Hong Kong Squash.

?It also is an honour for us to have the opportunity to present the tournament, and the sport, in its best possible light to IOC delegation to ensure that squash gets the chance we all feel it deserves to become part of the Olympic programme.?

?We are very happy that the IOC selected Hong Kong for the squash leg of its inspection tour,? said Mrs. Heather Deayton, WSF Vice President. ?We are very confident that they will enjoy Hong Kong, and that they will see another great year of the Hong Kong Open.

Mon, 22 Oct 2012 19:04:35 -0700 Testimony begins in Britney Spears defamation case http://yryneib.posterous.com/testimony-begins-in-britney-spears-defamation http://yryneib.posterous.com/testimony-begins-in-britney-spears-defamation

(AP) ? Testimony is set to begin in a defamation suit by Britney Spears' ex-manager against her parents.

Lawyers for Sam Lutfi declined to say whether he would be the first witness at Monday's trial in Los Angeles.

But one thing certain was that Spears will not testify. She remains under a court-ordered conservatorship and a judge told her not to participate.

Her father, Jamie, who is her conservator, has been in court with his wife, Lynne, whose book on her daughter's darkest days led to the defamation suit by Lutfi.

He was portrayed by lawyers for the family as a destructive force in Britney's life. His lawyers maintain he was just trying to help Britney and manage her career.

Lutfi is seeking millions of dollars from Spears and her family.

Sun, 21 Oct 2012 21:50:18 -0700 McCarron, No. 1 Alabama rout Tennessee 44-13 http://yryneib.posterous.com/mccarron-no-1-alabama-rout-tennessee-44-13 http://yryneib.posterous.com/mccarron-no-1-alabama-rout-tennessee-44-13

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) ? Practicing against the nation's best defense each day apparently is helping Alabama develop a championship-caliber offense.

A.J. McCarron threw for a career-high 306 yards and four touchdowns Saturday night as the top-ranked Crimson Tide trounced Tennessee 44-13 at Neyland Stadium. The Tide have scored at least 30 points in each of their first seven games, the longest streak to start a season in school history.

McCarron's four touchdown passes matched a career high set twice previously. He has 16 touchdown tosses with no interceptions this season. The junior quarterback called it the most complete game Alabama has played all year.

"We set the tone and we stayed on it," he said. "We never let up, and that was the biggest thing Coach keeps preaching."

McCarron got plenty of help from a pair of freshmen.

Amari Cooper caught seven passes for 162 yards, the most receiving yards ever by an Alabama freshman. He scored on a 23-yard reception in the first quarter and a 42-yard catch in the third. Cooper also had a 30-yard touchdown in the third period nullified by a penalty.

T.J. Yeldon ran for 129 yards and two touchdowns on 15 carries for his second consecutive game with at least 100 yards.

"We just kept grinding and grinding," Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban said. "We squandered a few opportunities at times, but I think the key to the drill was just keep playing and play the next play. Compete and be relentless in how you do it."

Alabama's defense also was as relentless as ever.

Tennessee (3-4, 0-4 SEC) had scored at least 31 points in each of its first six games, but the Volunteers couldn't muster much offense against an Alabama team that entered Saturday leading the nation in total defense, scoring defense, run defense and pass efficiency defense.

Tyler Bray went 13 of 27 for 184 yards with two interceptions and no touchdown passes for Tennessee.

Tennessee has lost 11 of its last 12 SEC games and is 0-14 against the Top 25 since Derek Dooley took over the program in 2010. The different circumstances surrounding each team were evident from a look at the stands, as more than one-third of the 102,455 fans were cheering for Alabama (7-0, 4-0). By the midway point of the fourth quarter, many of the Tennessee fans already had headed to the parking lot.

"We got whipped by a great football team in just about every phase," Dooley said. "I'm really disappointed we didn't execute a little better on offense. That's probably the thing I was a little surprised at. The quarterback didn't play well. I'm not sure why."

Dooley returned to the sidelines less than two weeks after undergoing surgery on a fractured right hip. Dooley had worked from the press box last week in a 41-31 loss at Mississippi State. Tennessee officials said before the game he'd sit on a stool throughout the game, but he instead worked the sidelines on crutches while frequently being shadowed by an officer as well as assistant coach Antone Davis.

Tennessee's beleaguered defense forced a three-and-out on Alabama's opening possession, but the Tide scored on four of the next five drives to take a 23-10 halftime lead. Alabama's lone scoreless series the rest of the first half came when Cade Foster was wide right on a 44-yard field-goal attempt.

Cooper opened the scoring and put Alabama ahead for good when a coverage breakdown by Tennessee allowed him to get all alone in the right corner of the end zone for a 23-yard touchdown. Yeldon added a 1-yard TD run in the second quarter after C.J. Mosley's diving interception of Bray's wobbly pass gave the Tide the ball at the Tennessee 32.

"Awesome," McCarron said of Cooper. "(He) doesn't surprise me one bit. He can be as good as he wants to be. As long as he keeps working and keeps putting forth the effort, the sky's the limit for that kid."

The Vols' best hopes for a second-half comeback disappeared when they lost the ball on downs after reaching the Alabama 33 early in the third quarter. After Bray threw a third-and-1 incompletion, Tennessee linebacker A.J. Johnson took a fourth-down snap out of the Vols' "Beast" formation and was stopped short of the first down.

Alabama then put the game away by reaching the end zone on its next three drives.

McCarron connected with Cooper on a 42-yard touchdown pass that extended the Tide's lead to 30-10 late in the third quarter. McCarron found Kenny Bell for a 39-yard completion that made it 37-10, then Yeldon raced 43 yards around the right end with 9:07 left in the game.

"That's the greatest feeling in the world as an offensive lineman, (when) in the fourth quarter you can tell that you can run the ball," Alabama center Barrett Jones said. "They know it's a run, and you know it's a run, and you can still run it."

Before the game, Tennessee honored former Vols coach Phillip Fulmer and his 1997 SEC championship team that featured Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning, who made it to campus for the ceremony.

Sun, 21 Oct 2012 19:55:30 -0700 A Home Business Can Be Rewarding | Morton Metal Craft http://yryneib.posterous.com/a-home-business-can-be-rewarding-morton-metal http://yryneib.posterous.com/a-home-business-can-be-rewarding-morton-metal

You should know that there are so many great opportunities when it comes to home business. It?s great to work whenever you want and have no boss but yourself. Creating your own home business can take some planning though. Use our tips to help you get started.

Update your website if your inventory has run out on individual products. It?s very upsetting to order an item and find that you won?t receive it for weeks. Offer to ship the product when it comes back into stock, or suggest an alternative to keep your customers happy.

Save money by keeping good records about any expenditures you make for your business. Internet service and car mileage related to your business are a couple examples of business expenses. The great thing about these business-related expenses is that you can deduct some of them off your taxes. To avoid these unnecessary tax obligations, just remember to keep up with all of your business related expenses.

Immediate success is not prevalent in even the companies that guarantee their business program. Every home business requires an investment of time before results can be achieved. Just take your time and keep working on it, and you?ll be able to achieve the business success you have dreamed of.

You must determine how much you are going to price your merchandise for. If you are going to make your own product, you need to find out how much it costs to make. A rule-of-thumb standard says that to price a product, it should be set at twice what the merchandise costs to produce. This is the standard wholesale rate for most goods. To calculate the retail price, triple the wholesale price.

Reach out to your customers by finding out where they are. Making a real world connection with your customers can sometimes be better than reaching them online. Set up a special booth at a community event, or have a big sale in a specific area.

There are lots of home business owners congregating online. Try reading forums that are both dedicated to your target audience and even those outside of it. Other business owners may give you hints on how to run your own business.

Be certain that your home-based enterprise is compatible with your family?s lifestyle. A business that is going to demand huge changes in your family?s day-to-day lives might not be the best fit for your particular situation.

When it comes tax time, you want to make sure that you are taking all of the deductions and credits available that you can legitimately qualify for. Look for and claim every deduction that you can, and enjoy a significantly lower tax bill.

When working from home, try to always achieve your personal best. Running a home business has the potential to be fulfilling, but if you prioritize work over yourself, your self esteem could surface. Shower, watch your snacks and regularly exercise everyday. Apply this advice to improve your image and your self image.

During the process of setting up your home business, research local area business that are in similar markets and find out what they charge for goods and services. Base your rates on these businesses while trying to remain competitive. If you don?t charge what you?re worth, you won?t make enough to meet your needs.

As you can see, it will require a little bit of work and dedication to make the jump. If you can manage to pull through and stick to the plan, you will be able to accurately represent your dream in the company?s image and create something that is long-lasting and profitable over the years.

Could educational games benefit from crowdfunding, for example. Or what about game-like projects, or gaming hardware innovations? The answers to these questions have little to do with the product itself. They are driven by what I call marketing stories.

(AP) ? Theo Riddick pounded his way for a career-high 143 yards and Cierre Wood added 114 yards as fifth-ranked Notre Dame overpowered a Brigham Young defense that entered the game third in the nation against the run, earning a 17-14 victory on Saturday.

Riddick had runs of 55 and 27, the two longest rushes of his career, to pace Notre Dame (7-0), which is off to its best start in a decade and has a big game ahead against No. 10 Oklahoma next week. The Cougars (4-4) fell to 0-3 on the road as they surrendered a season-high 270 yards rushing.

Backup quarterback Tommy Rees, starting in place of injured Everett Golson, completed 6 of 7 passes in the first quarter for 86 yards and a touchdown, throwing four of those to Tyler Eifert. But Rees missed his next seven passes and the Irish attempted only three passes in the second half.

Rees' only completion of the second half was a 31-yard pass to TJ Jones with a little more than a minute left in the third quarter. Riddick ran the ball up the middle for 19 yards to the BYU 5. Three plays later, George Atkinson III scored on an end around, cutting inside BYU safety Joe Sampson for the touchdown to give the Irish the 17-14 lead.

BYU had a chance to regain the lead on the next possession after an Irish penalty. On a third-and-16 from the BYU 10, the Irish stopped BYU quartereback Riley Nelson. But nose guard Louis Nix III was called for grabbing Nelson's face mask.

The Cougars drove to the Notre Dame 31, but Nelson was sacked for a 9 yard loss. Moments earlier Cody Hoffman was wide open for what would have probably been a touchdown, but Nelson's pass wasn't close.

Nelson was 23-of-36 passing for 177 yards with two interceptions and two TD passes.

On Riddick's 55-yard run from the 37-yard line, he ran into a pile at the line of scrimmage, put his hand down to keep his balance and then broke out of the pack before being caught by cornerback Jordan Johnson at the 8-yard line. But the Irish ran three straight running plays for a gain of 1 yard and had to settle for a 24-yard field goal by Kyle Brindza to cut BYU's lead to 14-10 late in the third quarter.

Brigham Young took advantage of Notre Dame mistakes to open a 14-7 halftime lead. After going 17 quarters without giving up an offensive touchdown, Notre Dame gave up two in a span of 2:18. Jamaal Williams set up the first score, rushing for 43 yards on five straight carries. He was thrown to the ground out of bounds on the final 21-yard run and Notre Dame safety Matthias Farley was called for a personal foul.

On third-and-goal, Nelson threw a touchdown pass to Hoffman, who was wide open in the back of the end zone after three Irish defenders covered receiver JD Falslev. That touchdown ended a streak of Notre Dame holding opponents without a touchdown on 11 straight drives into the red zone.

BYU got the ball back three plays later when a pass from Rees bounced off the hands of DaVaris Daniels, deflected up and was intercepted by Kyle Van Noy, who returned the ball to the Notre Dame 30. After Notre linebacker Daniel Spond was called for holding, Riley ran the ball for an 8-yard gain to the Notre Dame 12. After a 10-yard pass to Ross Apo, Nelson then threw a 2-yard TD pass that Kaneakua Friel caught as he went to the ground.

Notre Dame had a chance to tie the score late in the half after Riddick's 27-yard run, breaking two tackles and carrying three BYU defenders for the final 10 yards to the BYU 14. But the drive stalled and Brindza missed a 28-yard field goal wide right. He missed a 40-yard field goal on Notre Dame's opening drive of the game.

Notre Dame dominated the first quarter statistically, outgaining the Cougars 120 yards to 40, but led only 7-0. The Irish scored on Rees' 4-yard TD pass to Tyler Eifert.

Nursing Homes Aren?t Your Only Option

When a parent begins to decline, it?s often a very emotional, stressful, and sad time for adult children. It?s difficult to see someone you?ve looked up to begin to age and not be as capable as they once were. Added to this emotional journey is the fact that often there is a gap between ?needing a little help? and ?needing full time supervision and care?. Instead of putting off making a decision until the situation teeters on the verge of neglect, it?s better to know what options are available, and to utilize them. The peace of mind and quality of life that both parent and child will feel as a result is definitely worth it.

Nursing homes are one option, but they leave your parent without the independence of living at home and without the ability to pursue their hobbies and interests that mean so much to them. These two factors are a huge part of our quality of life, so it?s important to find an option that allows independence and pursuit of interests but also meets your parents? medical, social, and physical needs.? Personal care from a licensed Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA home care) can meet all of your loved one?s non-medical needs while allowing them to age at home.

The Advantages of Live in Home Care and CNA Long Term Home Care

? ?CNA Home Care for Non-Medical Needs: If your parents need close non-medical supervision, home nursing care from a licensed CNA is the way to go.? CNAs must undergo clinical training and pass an Illinois State Department of Public Health (IDPH) exam for their certification.? They are qualified to monitor health on a day-to-day basis (blood pressure, temperature, respiration, etc.), help with adaptive equipment (wheel chairs, walkers, canes, lift chairs, etc.), help with safe exercises, and non-invasive catheters, all while meeting universal hygiene precautions.? Additionally, Smile and Love, Inc. in-home service provides assurance through licensure, continual training that meets IDPH standards, home supervisory visits, and assessments.
? ?Physical Needs Met: Live in home care is also designed to meet all of your loved one?s physical needs so that they can continue to comfortably enjoy the things that still matter to them.? Long term home care includes assistance with personal hygiene (dressing, bathing, continence care, etc.), meal preparation, basic homemaking, and transportation (doctor visits, recreational activities, etc.).? In home non-medical care also is a major part of fall prevention.
? ?Companionship: Personal home care is much more than just assisting your loved one with all aspects of daily living.? As people age, they become more vulnerable to a host of emotional and psychological problems, including loneliness and depression as they begin to lose their ability to take care of themselves.? Live in home care provides companionship and friendly conversation that is an important part of making sure your loved ones continue to have their emotional needs met. Not only that, but in-home care can help encourage them to continue pursuing their interests and hobbies so that they have a higher quality of life as they age.

Learn More about CNAs Live in Home Care for Your Loved Ones

It?s very stressful and emotional to deal with the decline of a parent.? It?s important to make a decision about how to take care of them before they reach the point that they can?t take care of themselves any more.? Whether your parents need a little help or need constant physical care and supervision, in home care provided by Chicago?s Smile and Love, Inc. CNAs and caregivers can help them meet their physical needs in the safe and comfortable environment of their own home. Unlike a nursing home, in-home care gives your parents independence to continue pursuing the hobbies and interests that play such a big role in quality of life.? CNA home care professionals are highly trained and certified by the IDPH, so you can rest assured that your loved ones are well cared for and safe.?

Fri, 19 Oct 2012 21:38:17 -0700 Fall TV: forget trying to please all, narrowcasting thrives http://yryneib.posterous.com/fall-tv-forget-trying-to-please-all-narrowcas http://yryneib.posterous.com/fall-tv-forget-trying-to-please-all-narrowcas

NEW YORK (TheWrap.com) - You may be watching the slow death of broadcasting.

Not of broadcast networks - they'll be fine. But the notion that shows can try to appeal to all might be as dated as the image of an old-time farmer broadly casting seeds. This season, some of the most narrowly targeted shows are proving to be the most successful.

Few could have predicted that three weeks into the season, NBC would be the top-rated network so far. Or that the biggest premiere - aside from football - would be a cable show about zombies. Or that the top new network show would be essentially a sci-fi Western.

Few if any nationally-aired shows meet the most narrow definition of narrowcasting, which is targeting a specific, small audience, especially in one geographic region. But shows like "Revolution," "The Walking Dead," and "Go On" all have built-in elements that could be a dealbreaker for some audiences. And still they are succeeding.

While NBC is up this season, ABC, CBS, and Fox are down - largely because their attempts to appeal to the masses haven't worked like they used to. Not all of NBC's have, either. The network pledged this season to go for broader comedies, but on Thursday canceled one of its highest hopes, "Animal Practice," a veterinary sitcom with a monkey as one of the leads.

You can't get much broader than that, except with singing shows and football. Football is thriving. But singing competitions are down. Fox's "X Factor" has slipped in part because of much tougher competition than it faced last fall. NBC's "The Voice" didn't air then. But the show has fallen hard from midseason, when it got a huge boost from a Super Bowl lead-in.

You can't get much more potentially off-putting, meanwhile, than AMC's "The Walking Dead," which nonetheless scored TV's highest scripted-show ratings in a year with Sunday's third-season premiere. The episode featured a discussion of what would happen if a baby turned into a zombie in the womb, which might turn off lots of viewers. But 10.9 million people were at least willing to give Sunday's premiere a shot. The show has grown dramatically since its debut, while getting gorier and gorier.

Narrowcasting at its best means locking in on one audience with not trying to please everyone. No show does it better than "The Walking Dead." Not including football, its 5.8 rating in the key 18-49 demographic Sunday was the best since the "American Idol" finale in May, and the best for a scripted show since a "Modern Family" episode last October. "Modern Family" ended last season the top scripted series on TV.

The success of a few decidedly different shows doesn't mean it's time to carve up television into small niche networks - though that's certainly what's happening in cable and online, as more and more channels devote themselves to cooking, cars, and a given sport.

Despite the triumphs of narrowcasting, when mass-appeal programming works, it really works. The top-rated show on television is NBC's "Sunday Night Football," which is down very slightly this season to a still-excellent 8 rating in the demo. But as much as they might like to, networks can't air football around the clock.

The lesson of this season may be that you can't please all the people all the time, but that you don't need to please everyone to score some very respectable ratings.

Take "Sons of Anarchy." The FX biker drama isn't for most. (This week's episode featured a man being beaten to death with a snow globe.) But FX's highest-rated show has repeatedly bested its Tuesdays-at-10 competition this season. Its network rivals - NBC's "Parenthood," CBS's "Vegas" and ABC's "Private Practice" - are all decidedly middle of the road.

CBS is the broadest of the broadcast networks, and has the numbers to prove it. Though NBC leads in the key demo this season, CBS has easily the largest overall audience. It can thank its safe, comfortable mix of procedurals and sitcoms.

But even that approach isn't working as predictably as it used to. CBS's most successful new show is also its weirdest. The Sherlock Holmes update "Elementary," in which Watson is a woman, is second only to NBC's even weirder "Revolution," which imagines life after all power sources go out. (The latest episode of "Revolution" features a fun update on a classic Western train robbery - something we haven't seen since, um, AMC's "Breaking Bad," did it over the summer. But "Breaking Bad" is a famously, wonderfully insane show.)

Many of CBS's most conventional series are down. Last season, all of its Monday comedies scored a huge boost from curiosity about how Ashton Kutcher would score on the new season of "Two and a Half Men." This season, against competition from "The Voice," the Monday comedies have slipped.

Now "Men" has moved to Thursdays with the broadly appealing "Big Bang Theory," where they make life much harder for rivals "X Factor" on Fox and NBC's smart but little-watched Thursday comedies. NBC has made no bones about its plan to go for broader comedies this time out.

But only one of those comedies - the most daring - is scoring big. The Matthew Perry comedy "Go On" tries to mine comedy from a group of people dealing with grief. Viewers seem to appreciate it: "Go On" is the top-rated new comedy of the season.

"Animal Practice," a show more likely to look for laughs by putting a cute monkey in a costume, is gone, along with the CBS underdog procedural "Made in Jersey," the first show to be cut this season.

NBC's "Guys With Kids" is also struggling for viewers. But NBC climbed to No. 3 in the ratings last season after years in fourth through another form of narrowcasting: Choosing easier fights. Rather than unveiling big shows against serious competition in the fall, it debuted "The Voice," its biggest show besides football, in April 2011. It then aired it in midseason, instead of the following fall, where it nearly tied "Idol" as the No. 2 show on television after "SNF." Then NBC used its strength this fall to launch "Revolution," which airs Mondays after "The Voice."

It's not surprising that "Revolution" debuted to strong numbers. The surprise is that it's held on to a solid audience, at least so far.

The J.J. Abrams-produced "Revolution" is similar to many shows that have come since his ABC hit "Lost": One huge event changes everything and mysteries pile up. But as the mysteries get more confusing, or don't seem to move toward solutions, viewers tend to fall off, as they did for "The Event" on NBC, "FlashForward" on ABC, and Abrams' "Alcatraz" on Fox.

Part of the problem is serialization. "Lost" was not an easy show to start watching five episodes in.

But "Revolution," interestingly, is. Your humble correspondent watched the premiere, left the show for a while, and came back to this week's episode, No. 5. It was surprisingly easy to follow, and just eccentric enough. It added mysteries while solving some from the first episode. It actually worked.

It also gained in ratings over the episode a week before.

"Walking Dead" is also growing instead of shrinking. It has repeatedly broken cable records, and has a shot this season of becoming the highest-rated scripted show on TV. It would be the first cable show to do so.

The zombies aren't in the same league as football yet. But give them time.

Fri, 19 Oct 2012 13:46:39 -0700 Yelp Slaps Consumer Alerts On Business Pages For Those Who ... http://yryneib.posterous.com/yelp-slaps-consumer-alerts-on-business-pages http://yryneib.posterous.com/yelp-slaps-consumer-alerts-on-business-pages

Yelp announced today that it is now showing warnings to users when they have found businesses that have paid for reviews. If you are looking at such a business on the site, you?ll be greeted with a ?Consumer Alert?. This comes with a message that says:

?We have caught someone red-handed trying to buy reviews for this business. We weren?t fooled, but wanted you to know because buying reviews not only hurts consumers, but also honest businesses who play by the rules. Check out the evidence here.

Yelp will remove the alert from the business? page after 90 days, unless they find more efforts to mislead consumers. Yelp indicates that nine businesses will have the alert showing up at launch, but it will appear on any other pages for businesses Yelp finds to be in violation.

Yelp says its automated review filter is ?working around the clock? to flag these kinds of reviews.

Eric Singley, Yelp?s VP of Consumer Products and Mobile, says, ?As efforts to game the system continuously evolve, so do our methods for combating it. An independent Businessweek report confirmed the success of Yelp?s efforts to protect consumers. The article details the efforts of a Texan business owner who purchased 200 online reviews in an attempt to artificially bolster his business?s online reputation. The report found that Yelp?s review filter returned ?impressive results? catching every purchased review, while the shill reviews remained up on seven other review sites.?

?Beyond alerting consumers to attempts to purchase reviews, the next step will be to let consumers know if a business has had a large number of reviews submitted from the same Internet Protocol (IP) address, which can be a helpful indicator that they lack authenticity,? he adds. ?While the review filter already takes this type of information into account, we believe that consumers also have a right to know if this activity is going on.?

He does reassure users that most businesses on Yelp are playing by the rules.

Sun, 14 Oct 2012 04:35:58 -0700 'Invisibility' could be a key to better electronics: Visual 'cloaking' technology enables more efficient transfer of electrons http://yryneib.posterous.com/invisibility-could-be-a-key-to-better-electro http://yryneib.posterous.com/invisibility-could-be-a-key-to-better-electro

ScienceDaily (Oct. 12, 2012) ? A new approach that allows objects to become "invisible" has now been applied to an entirely different area: letting particles "hide" from passing electrons, which could lead to more efficient thermoelectric devices and new kinds of electronics.

The concept -- developed by MIT graduate student Bolin Liao, former postdoc Mona Zebarjadi (now an assistant professor at Rutgers University), research scientist Keivan Esfarjani, and mechanical engineering professor Gang Chen -- is described in a paper in the journal Physical Review Letters.

Normally, electrons travel through a material in a way that is similar to the motion of electromagnetic waves, including light; their behavior can be described by wave equations. That led the MIT researchers to the idea of harnessing the cloaking mechanisms developed to shield objects from view -- but applying it to the movement of electrons, which is key to electronic and thermoelectric devices.

Previous work on cloaking objects from view has relied on so-called metamaterials made of artificial materials with unusual properties. The composite structures used for cloaking cause light beams to bend around an object and then meet on the other side, resuming their original path -- making the object appear invisible.

"We were inspired by this idea," says Chen, the Carl Richard Soderberg Professor of Power Engineering at MIT, who decided to study how it might apply to electrons instead of light. But in the new electron-cloaking material developed by Chen and his colleagues, the process is slightly different.

The MIT researchers modeled nanoparticles with a core of one material and a shell of another. But in this case, rather than bending around the object, the electrons do actually pass through the particles: Their paths are bent first one way, then back again, so they return to the same trajectory they began with.

In computer simulations, the concept appears to work, Liao says. Now, the team will try to build actual devices to see whether they perform as expected. "This was a first step, a theoretical proposal," Liao says. "We want to carry on further research on how to make some real devices out of this strategy."

While the initial concept was developed using particles embedded in a normal semiconductor substrate, the MIT researchers would like to see if the results can be replicated with other materials, such as two-dimensional sheets of graphene, which might offer interesting additional properties.

The MIT researchers' initial impetus was to optimize the materials used in thermoelectric devices, which produce an electrical current from a temperature gradient. Such devices require a combination of characteristics that are hard to obtain: high electrical conductivity (so the generated current can flow freely), but low thermal conductivity (to maintain a temperature gradient). But the two types of conductivity tend to coexist, so few materials offer these contradictory characteristics. The team's simulations show this electron-cloaking material could meet these requirements unusually well.

The simulations used particles a few nanometers in size, matching the wavelength of flowing electrons and improving the flow of electrons at particular energy levels by orders of magnitude compared to traditional doping strategies. This might lead to more efficient filters or sensors, the researchers say. As the components on computer chips get smaller, Chen says, "we have to come up with strategies to control electron transport," and this might be one useful approach.

The concept could also lead to a new kind of switches for electronic devices, Chen says. The switch could operate by toggling between transparent and opaque to electrons, thus turning a flow of them on and off. "We're really just at the beginning," he says. "We're not sure how far this is going to go yet, but there is some potential" for significant applications.

Xiang Zhang, a professor of mechanical engineering at the University of California at Berkeley who was not involved in this research, says "this is very exciting work" that expands the concept of cloaking to the domain of electrons. The authors, he says, "uncovered a very interesting approach that may be very useful to thermoelectric applications."

This research was funded by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) through MIT's Solid-State Solar-Thermal Energy Conversion center, a DOE Energy Frontier Research Center.

Sun, 14 Oct 2012 00:37:13 -0700 Paul Ryan Wins Debate as Joe Biden Fails to Embarrass Rival http://yryneib.posterous.com/paul-ryan-wins-debate-as-joe-biden-fails-to-e http://yryneib.posterous.com/paul-ryan-wins-debate-as-joe-biden-fails-to-e

Vice President Joe Biden had one task in his debate with Rep. Paul Ryan on Thursday night: to regain the offensive against the Republican ticket after his boss, Barack Obama, all but relinquished the stage to Mitt Romney in the first presidential debate last week.

Biden failed in that goal, for the most part, though the sometimes gaffe-prone vice president certainly did not embarrass himself.?

What the 69-year-old vice president needed to do in this debate was to use his vastly greater experience in public office?four decades? worth?to show up his 42-year-old rival?s inexperience, especially in foreign policy. But Biden at best battled Ryan to a standoff. In particular, Biden was not terribly effective in countering the anticipated Republican script, which involved a move to the moderate middle less than a month before the election. Ryan, who for much of his young career has been a hero to conservatives, managed to successfully portray himself and Romney as defenders of the middle class and responsible stewards of foreign policy who would not get America into another war.

Biden certainly tried hard to catch Ryan out. He spent much of the 90-minute debate grinning in seeming disbelief at Ryan?s answers, which covered a mind-boggling range of issues from Afghanistan and Syria to the future of Medicare and Social Security. And unlike the president, who was perceived as ?too polite? (Obama?s own words) in his first debate with Romney, Biden sought to highlight Romney?s most embarrassing moments on the stump, in particular the GOP nominee?s now-infamous comment that ?47 percent? of the country had no sense of personal responsibility for their lives. ?I?ve had it up to here with this notion,? Biden declared, saying that Republicans like Romney and Ryan needed to take responsibility for the harm their proposals would bring to the middle class and to investments in America?s future.

But Biden for the most part failed to add enough substance to his stock phrases of dismissal --?That?s a bunch of malarkey." ... ?Not a single thing he said was accurate.? ... ?This is a bunch of stuff? -- to embarrass Ryan. In particular, Ryan managed to neutralize the issue of whether Romney's proposed 20 percent cut in marginal tax rates would favor the rich, despite the lack of specifics of which deductions and loopholes the Republicans would eliminate. Biden did not effectively challenge those ambiguities in the GOP plan, even as Ryan followed the presidential nominee in dramatically shifting position on that plan toward the middle, highlighting Romney?s ?bipartisanship.?

On critical domestic issues, namely the radical Ryan budget plan that embodies a fiercely pared-down concept of government, Biden for the most part failed to make the case that a Romney-Ryan administration would undercut the middle class and further enrich America?s wealthiest citizens, despite a Congressional Budget Office study earlier this year that concluded it would effectively eliminate, by 2050, funding for education, highways, veterans' programs, foreign aid, medical and scientific research, national parks, food and water safety, and most programs for low-income families and individuals other than Medicaid, as well as partially privatize Medicare.

Biden, like Obama before him, missed opportunities to point up inconsistencies in Romney's and Ryan?s prior positions. At one point in the debate, Ryan repeated a line that has become a staple of Republican talking points: that America?s seniors would see their benefits reduced because of a $716 billion cut in Medicare. Biden failed to point out that Ryan himself had embraced those reductions in his own budget plan.??

Although the moderator, ABC?s Martha Raddatz, spent a substantial portion of the debate on foreign policy?presumably a Biden strength since he formerly served as chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and has been enormously influential on such issues inside the administration -- the vice president did not decisively get the better of the well-prepped Ryan, who has little experience in this area.

Raddatz began by asking about the administration?s handling of Libya and the death of U.S. Amb. Chris Stevens a month ago. Both candidates turned that into a broad discussion of the Obama administration?s handling of issues from the Middle East to Afghanistan. But there was no clear winner there either.

Biden effectively countered the Romney-Ryan criticism that Obama had been weak or indecisive in addressing the nuclear threat from Iran, but he also failed to bring up the latest news that tends to vindicate the administration?s sanctions policy: a broad-based collapse of Iran?s currency, the rial.

The Heartburn/Acid Reflux Pain Remedy Report For Men

As with most medical problems, gastroesophageal acid reflux is treated with prescription drugs by the medical profession, while individuals who believe in natural medicine use natural remedies, and wouldn't go anywhere near drugs.

Bob Barton wrote a report referred to as the acid reflux remedy report which ought to be able to help you find a natural technique to contend with this problem. He's incredibly experienced to talk about this problem given that he was a sufferer of these issues as well.

Attempted to have surgery to deal with this problem

This might be an extremely important read for you, in case you are fed up with burning a hole in your esophagus, simply because of your acid reflux. This simple cure has been discovered by a huge number of individuals, and when you are fed up with investing cash on prescriptions, then you ought to check it out. And because it has been produced by somebody who has lived with this problem, you understand you're not just getting generic information. Yet another thing I should point out about Bob is that the issues that he had with his acid reflux were so bad that he attempted to have surgery to deal with this problem.

Did apples wiped out his reflux?

One night he slept good, and he came to the realization he had eaten an apple before going to bed, he started experimenting with apples, and found one particular brand that wiped out his reflux. It was at this stage that he wrote his first report on dealing with heartburn and acid reflux, and this report was based entirely on apple eating. Nevertheless he didn't stop there as he continued his research on things which could help acid reflux until he finally came up with a cure which is now included in his latest report. The issue is really a lot of people simply go to the doctors and get medicine instead of searching for an alternative option. It is only after the medication doesn't help them entirely that people start looking for this alternative option to help them with their issue.

Remedies for curing heartburn, acid, bile, esophageal reflux

For anyone willing to take a look, this report reveals 3 natural remedies which are safe for curing acid reflux, heartburn, bile reflux or esophageal reflux. A primary reason this program is become so effective is generally because you do not need to take medication which may have harmful side effects to deal with your issues. These kinds of natural remedies will not be told to you when you go to a doctor, mainly because natural ways are not taught in medical schools. When you visit a doctor and they provide you with a prescription and tell you to live with it, you need to try natural remedies.

Medical Doctor's Opinion

If you're like most folks you take the opinion of your doctor and regard it as incredibly knowledgeable information, the problem is doctors don't always have all the information required. If you wish to eliminate your acid reflux and start living a better life without medication this report could be the answer.

Fri, 12 Oct 2012 17:56:20 -0700 Best Buy to match some rivals' online pricing http://yryneib.posterous.com/best-buy-to-match-some-rivals-online-pricing http://yryneib.posterous.com/best-buy-to-match-some-rivals-online-pricing

(AP) ? Best Buy said Friday that it has authorized its store staffers to match online prices of competitors in some cases, as it beefs up service offerings as the all-important holiday season kicks off.

Best Buy and others already offer price-matching guarantees for local competitors' brick-and-mortar stores. But stores don't usually match online prices, since those tend to be lower.

But competition from online merchants and discount stores is expected to be fierce during the crucial holiday period ? when a retailer can make up to 40 percent of annual sales.

Best Buy's online price matching program isn't absolute. Spokeswoman Amy von Walter says it applies to appliances and electronics and will be given on an "if asked" basis at the discretion of Best Buy staffers on the sales floor.

The offer is valid Nov. 4 to Nov. 17 and Nov. 27 to Dec. 24.

In addition to the online price matching, Best Buy will offer free shipping to customers seeking items that are out of stock in store.

Analysts said the moves are an improvement in terms of customer service, but Best Buy still has an uphill battle to compete with online retailers.

"I think it's a positive first step, but I don't think it's enough," said Morningstar analyst R.J. Hottovy. He said consumers have gotten so used to the convenience of buying products on Amazon.com, it will be a difficult habit to break.

"People like Amazon's convenience, it's not just about the pricing," he said.

Shares fell 10 cents to $17.74 in afternoon trading. Its shares are near the lower end of their 52-week range of $16.25 set in mid-August and $28.53 early last December.
