Survey shows strong consumer interest in BlackBerry 10, but few are willing to buy just yet
The good news for RIM (RIMM): Lots of people are interested in checking out its upcoming BlackBerry 10 platform. The bad news: Few are willing to commit to buying a BlackBerry 10 device at the moment. According to a new online survey of more than 1,100 Americans commissioned by mobile application specialist BiTE interactive and conducted by reputable pollster YouGov, 47% of Americans find ?at least one of BlackBerry?s new features appealing,? although only around 13% say they?ll consider buying a BlackBerry 10 device.
The survey found that the new Time Shift Camera, which lets users rapid-shoot multiple pictures of the same subject and then choose the best one from the bunch, was the most popular new BlackBerry feature, followed by BlackBerry 10?s new predictive keyboard. But as BiTE operations executive vice president?Joseph Farrell notes, there?s a big difference between interest in new features and a commitment to spend money acquiring them. Farrell also thinks that RIM will still struggle to be relevant as long as app developers neglect BlackBerry in favor of iOS and Android.
?RIM?s much anticipated BB10 launch is a major, and much needed overhaul for the one-time smartphone leader and all indications are that it has, at very least succeeded in convincing Americans to give BlackBerry a second look,? he says. ?However, it is clear that while all the new features can catch the interest of Android and iOS owners, the key chink in RIM?s armor remains its apps ecosystem. RIM has made great efforts to catch up with iOS and Android in this regard, but it, like Microsoft, is likely to find this far easier said than done.?
BiTE?s full press release is posted below.
BlackBerry 10 Captures Attention of One in Two Americans
But only one in eight will actually consider buying a BB10 device
Los Angeles, January 29, 2013 ? Ahead of the launch of Research in Motion?s long-anticipated BlackBerry 10 operating system and two new smartphones this week, nearly one in two Americans online (47 percent) finds at least one of BlackBerry?s new features appealing.
Despite interest in the new features only one in eight Americans (13 percent) will consider buying a BB10 device, and only one in 100 plans to get one immediately. The findings are according to a report from BiTE interactive, the native mobile application specialist for Fortune 1000 brands, which commissioned YouGov to poll the views of a representative sample of 1,127 American adults online.
Time Shift Camera wins most American hearts, especially with Android owners
RIM?s Time Shift Camera is the most compelling new BB10 feature for 16 percent of Americans. The Time Shift Camera takes multiple shots of a subject in a single picture and lets you choose the best composite image. 46 percent more women than men identify it as the most attractive new feature of BB10, while it is most appealing for one in five (21 percent) 18-34 year olds. The same age group is also the most likely to find one of the BlackBerry 10?s features appealing (66 percent). RIM?s new predictive keyboard feature is the most compelling new feature for only six percent of Americans while only one in 100 picked the new ?flow? interface.
The new BB10 features appeal to more Android (65 percent) than iPhone owners (56 percent).
?RIM?s much anticipated BB10 launch is a major, and much needed overhaul for the one-time smartphone leader and all indications are that it has, at very least succeeded in convincing Americans to give BlackBerry a second look,? said Joseph Farrell, EVP Operations, BiTE interactive. ?However, it is clear that while all the new features can catch the interest of Android and iOS owners, the key chink in RIM?s armor remains its apps ecosystem. RIM has made great efforts to catch up with iOS and Android in this regard, but it, like Microsoft, is likely to find this far easier said than done. A lot of eyes will be on the new BlackBerry World from day one, as its success is pivotal to that of the BB10 devices as viable mainstream consumer handsets.?
iPhone owners least likely to jump to BlackBerry
According to BiTE interactive?s report, iPhone owners are the least likely to buy into BB10. Only around one in 10 (11 percent) have any interest in owning one of RIM?s new phones compared with around one in five (21 percent) Android owners. Overall, almost one in two (44 percent) Americans definitely will not get a BB10 device while a further one in four (27 percent) say they will likely not get one.
Joseph Farrell added, ?RIM?s challenge is compounded by the fact that Google and Apple have already built up huge mobile user bases who, for the most part, have invested lots of time and money learning and using their platform of choice. To switch to any new platform, even between the two, means a new investment of time and resources that many do not wish to spend, let alone taking a perceived risk on the new BB10 platform, no matter how impressive some of the new technology is.?
Research methodology
BiTE interactive commissioned YouGov to poll the views of a representative sample of 1,127 US adults. Fieldwork was undertaken between January 23-25, 2013. The survey was carried out online. The figures have been weighted and are representative of all US adults (aged 18+).

Elephant Stone wishes upon a sitar
MONTREAL - Turning points often come when you least expect them. Rishi Dhir encountered one in November.
The frontman, bassist, sitar player and songwriter behind Elephant Stone was sitting with the sound man for the Black Angels in Melbourne, Australia, the first stop of the touring Harvest Festival. The two were watching Beck perform his anthemic classic Loser.
Dhir was on the road with the Black Angels, with whom he sometimes collaborates, and was not playing with his regular band. As Beck delighted the crowd with his biggest hit, Dhir turned to his companion and said, ?This needs sitar.? But instead of letting the thought subside as a passing one, he made a declaration. ?By Sydney, I?m going to be playing sitar with Beck,? Dhir said.
Sydney was only a week away.
A friend in another band, which had once supported Beck, hooked Dhir up with Beck?s tour manager and an introduction was arranged the next day. After a five-minute conversation, Dhir remembered, Beck said: ?OK, see you on stage.?
Even without a rehearsal, the Sydney performance of Loser, with sitar, went like a charm. When his set was over, Beck asked Dhir whether he could play again the next night ? the festival closer ? in Brisbane. This time, however, it would be a different selection: Soldier Jane. Dhir, who was unfamiliar with the song, learned it that night.
?That experience showed me anything is possible,? Dhir said during a recent interview at the Gazette offices. ?I?m just this guy from Montreal, and all of a sudden I?m on stage with Beck in Australia.?
More than once during our conversation, Dhir, a friendly man with an easy laugh, referred to this new-found positivity as a self-fulfilling prophecy. ?If I say it?s not going to happen, it?s not going to happen. If I believe something will happen, there?s a better chance of it happening. It?s part of how I?m approaching Elephant Stone: Maybe we can,? he said.
These thoughts are what have pushed Dhir, 35, to kick it up a notch with a band that he started slowly, almost reluctantly, as a vehicle for his songwriting, after he left the High Dials in 2006.
?I wanted to see if I had anything to say,? he recalled of the group?s inception. ?Being a musician can be a very shallow, hollow existence to some people. That?s what it became for me. I didn?t feel like I was giving anything to the world. I wasn?t being true to myself.?
At that point, Dhir was keener on settling down and having a family than getting back on the road with a new band. But positive reaction to Elephant Stone?s 2009 debut, The Seven Seas, and the album?s subsequent Polaris Music Prize nomination changed things.
The addition of guitarist Gabriel Lambert in 2010 made the project even more of a bona fide unit, Dhir said. ?I felt I had someone to bounce ideas off. It wasn?t just me anymore,? he said. ?Others believed in this music and we were willing to pay our dues. And pay our dues we have. We?ve done a lot in the past two years.?
With keyboard player Stephen (the Venk) Venkatarangam and drummer Miles Dupire, the band has finally become a true unit, Dhir said.
A stellar self-titled sophomore disc will be available Feb. 5, and Dhir and band have engaged a team to turn up the heat on the new release: the label and management combo of Hidden Pony and Upper Management will, in conjunction with booking agent High Road Touring, help get the word out and put the band in the right venues.
With Dhir on the road promoting the new album for much of this year, another person facing the new challenge will be his wife, Kirsty. The two have been a couple for 16 years and they have two children: Meera, 3, and 1-year-old Ishaan. ?It?s not easy, the life I?ve chosen,? Dhir said. ?Kirsty?s really supportive, but it?s hard.?
The group?s delicate musical balancing act, which happily celebrates vintage and contemporary psychedelic rock while keeping an eye on opportunities to incorporate Indian instrumentation and Eastern drones, can be traced not only to the moment Dhir heard pioneering fusion tracks like the Beatles? Norwegian Wood and the Rolling Stones? Paint It, Black, but farther back ? to his childhood.
?With Indian people, music is a given,? Dhir said. Both his parents are from Punjab, and immigrated to Canada in 1969. His mother, Asha, is a great singer, he said, and he remembers her and his father, Ashok, recreating musical scenes from Bollywood movies at family functions and parties.
?What always ends up happening is, the dholki (hand drum) comes out, and all the women get together and start playing it, and they?re always singing old Bollywood songs,? Dhir said. ?I was always exposed to that, and Indian classical music is so deeply entwined with it. I guess my parents gave me, inadvertently, the Eastern, Bollywood Hindustani training and my brother gave me the rock ?n? roll training.?
Dhir?s brother, Anurag, four years older, exposed his willing 8-year-old sibling to the Beatles, the Doors and, most significantly, the Who. Tommy, Dhir said, was the album that struck the most mind-expanding chord with him.
?For the longest time, the Who was my group,? he said.
His affection for punk-era Who disciples like the Jam, post-pop rockers like Teenage Fanclub and Britpop revivalists like Blur, when he was in his early 20s, led Dhir back to the Small Faces, pre-Tommy Who and Motown.
For a time, he even went through a purist phase, acknowledging only the Who?s early, mod-era output. In 2000, he had fully bought into the mod esthetic and even purchased a 1976 Lambretta scooter, he said. ?I?ve been rebuilding it since I bought it,? he said, laughing. ?I rode it once. Maybe when I?m retired, I?ll be like an old mod.?
Dhir said he still thinks about both the psychedelic pioneers and their progeny when he approaches songwriting. His group, after all, is named after a 1988 song by the Stone Roses (although there is also a nod in there to Ganesha, the Hindu god of new beginnings, with his elephant head).
Drawing from a four-decade thread of pop, rock and psychedelia that also includes the Pixies and Soundgarden, Dhir said he finds himself equally comfortable with a jangly hook and a one-chord assault. ?It all gets shaken in the bag,? he said. ?I try to make records like my record collection.?
Contemporary psychedelic bands like Tame Impala, Animal Collective and Dirty Projectors have adopted the same approach and put the genre back on the radar. Maybe this is, as Dhir suggested, the perfect time for Elephant Stone to realize that self-fulfilling prophecy.
Elephant Stone?s self-titled second album will be released on Feb. 5. The group performs Feb. 15 at 9:30 p.m. at Divan Orange, 4234 St. Laurent Blvd., with First You Get the Sugar. Tickets cost $10, available in advance at indiemontreal.ca/elephant-stone-w-guests.

Police: Softball coach had sex with teen
Falls Township Police
Kevin Jones is accused of having intimate contact with a girl starting when she was 14.
A married father of two who coaches girls' softball is accused of having a sexual relationship with his teenage daughter's best friend -- a girl who looked up to her coach as a father-like figure, according to a criminal complaint obtained by NBC10.
Kevin Jones, 34, of Fairless Hills, Pa., northeast of Philadelphia, is accused of having intimate contact with the girl starting when she was 14, according to Falls Township Police.
Police say that Jones would text and Facebook message with the girl, whom he coached on the same softball team, the Levittown Bulldogs, that his daughter played on. The girl and Jones would tell each other that they loved one another and he would refer to her as his "baby doll" and she would call him "daddy," according to a criminal complaint.
Jones allegedly told the girl, whose father left the picture about seven years ago, that she could consider him a father. "I'll be your dad from now on and I'll protect you like I'm your dad," Jones told the girl, according to the affidavit.
According to the criminal complaint, the relationship between the two started in the spring of 2012 with "flirting" as Jones would put his arm around the girl and hold her hand while speaking to her. Over time, the girl told police that their relationship progressed, first to kissing then to sexual activities and eventually to intercourse about two weeks ago.
The affidavit said that Jones' children were in his home during many of the alleged sex acts. The girl, now 15, told police that all the alleged sex was consensual and that no drugs or alcohol were involved.
Jones denies any sexual contact with the alleged victim outside of hugging and kissing that happened only in front of the girl's mother. The criminal complaint states that during questioning Jones told police, "I don't know if she thinks I touched her, we play fight."
More coverage from NBC10
The relationship was uncovered after the teenager confided in her sister about the relationship and the girls' mother in turn reported it to Falls Township Police on Jan. 9. Around that time, the victim allegedly tried to warn Jones that her mother knew of their alleged relationship in a series of texts and Facebook messages that are referenced in the affidavit.
Those Facebook messages date back to June of 2011, when the girl was just 13, and include messages where Jones threatens to kill any boy the girl has interest in, according to the affidavit.
Police planned to serve a search warrant at Jones' home on Jan. 25, but around 2 p.m. the home burned down. Jones and his family escaped the blaze and the cause of the fire remained under investigation.
Jones was arrested Monday and charged with six counts including indecent sexual intercourse with a minor, statutory sexual assault, corruption of minors and related offenses. He was arraigned and held on $2 million bail, according to court documents.

Poor sleep in old age prevents the brain from storing memories
Jan. 27, 2013 ? The connection between poor sleep, memory loss and brain deterioration as we grow older has been elusive. But for the first time, scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, have found a link between these hallmark maladies of old age. Their discovery opens the door to boosting the quality of sleep in elderly people to improve memory.
Postdoctoral fellow, Bryce Mander, demonstrates how the sleep study was conducted.
UC Berkeley neuroscientists have found that the slow brain waves generated during the deep, restorative sleep we typically experience in youth play a key role in transporting memories from the hippocampus -- which provides short-term storage for memories -- to the prefrontal cortex's longer term "hard drive."
However, in older adults, memories may be getting stuck in the hippocampus due to the poor quality of deep 'slow wave' sleep, and are then overwritten by new memories, the findings suggest.
"What we have discovered is a dysfunctional pathway that helps explain the relationship between brain deterioration, sleep disruption and memory loss as we get older -- and with that, a potentially new treatment avenue," said UC Berkeley sleep researcher Matthew Walker, an associate professor of psychology and neuroscience at UC Berkeley and senior author of the study to be published Jan. 27, in the journal Nature Neuroscience.
The findings shed new light on some of the forgetfulness common to the elderly that includes difficulty remembering people's names.
"When we are young, we have deep sleep that helps the brain store and retain new facts and information," Walker said. "But as we get older, the quality of our sleep deteriorates and prevents those memories from being saved by the brain at night."
Healthy adults typically spend one-quarter of the night in deep, non-rapid-eye-movement (REM) sleep. Slow waves are generated by the brain's middle frontal lobe. Deterioration of this frontal region of the brain in elderly people is linked to their failure to generate deep sleep, the study found.
The discovery that slow waves in the frontal brain help strengthen memories paves the way for therapeutic treatments for memory loss in the elderly, such as transcranial direct current stimulation or pharmaceutical remedies. For example, in an earlier study, neuroscientists in Germany successfully used electrical stimulation of the brain in young adults to enhance deep sleep and doubled their overnight memory.
UC Berkeley researchers will be conducting a similar sleep-enhancing study in older adults to see if it will improve their overnight memory. "Can you jumpstart slow wave sleep and help people remember their lives and memories better? It's an exciting possibility," said Bryce Mander, a postdoctoral fellow in psychology at UC Berkeley and lead author of this latest study.
For the UC Berkeley study, Mander and fellow researchers tested the memory of 18 healthy young adults (mostly in their 20s) and 15 healthy older adults (mostly in their 70s) after a full night's sleep. Before going to bed, participants learned and were tested on 120 word sets that taxed their memories.
As they slept, an electroencephalographic (EEG) machine measured their brain wave activity. The next morning, they were tested again on the word pairs, but this time while undergoing functional and structural Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) scans.
In older adults, the results showed a clear link between the degree of brain deterioration in the middle frontal lobe and the severity of impaired "slow wave activity" during sleep. On average, the quality of their deep sleep was 75 percent lower than that of the younger participants, and their memory of the word pairs the next day was 55 percent worse.
Meanwhile, in younger adults, brain scans showed that deep sleep had efficiently helped to shift their memories from the short-term storage of the hippocampus to the long-term storage of the prefrontal cortex.
Co-authors of the study are William Jagust, Vikram Rao, Jared Saletin and John Lindquist of UC Berkeley; Brandon Lu of the California Pacific Medical Center and Sonia Ancoli-Israel of UC San Diego.
The research was funded by the National Institute of Aging of the National Institutes of Health.

Researchers build a working tractor beam, on a very small scale
We recently saw research that suggested negative radiation pressure in light could lead to a practical tractor beam. A partnership between the Czech Republic's Institute of Scientific Instruments and Scotland's University of St. Andrews can show that it's more than just theory: the two have successfully created an optical field that flipped the usual pressure and started pulling objects toward the light. Their demo only tugged at the particle level -- sorry, no spaceships just yet -- but it exhibited unique properties that could be useful here on Earth. Scientists discovered that the pull is specific to the size and substance of a given object, and that targets would sometimes reorganize themselves in a way that improved the results. On the current scale, that pickiness could lead to at least medicinal uses, such as sorting cells based on their material. While there's more experiments and development to go before we ever see a tractor beam at the hospital, the achievement brings us one step closer to the sci-fi future we were always told we'd get, right alongside the personal communicators and jetpacks.

Michael J. Petrilli: The Obama Administration Invents a Right to Wheelchair Basketball
Let me acknowledge ? sincerely ? that I love wheelchair basketball. I would vote for candidates to public office who would provide funding for ?inclusive athletics? and would be proud if my sons? schools offered such programs to their special-needs students.
Yet it boggles my mind that the Obama Administration, without an ounce of public debate or deliberation, without an iota of Congressional authorization or approval, could declare by fiat that public schools nationwide must provide such programs or risk their federal education funding. Talk about executive overreach! Talk about a regulatory rampage! Talk about an enormous unfunded mandate!
At issue is the 1973 Rehabilitation Act?s insistence that public schools not discriminate against students with disabilities. Longstanding regulations clarify that this requirement applies to extracurricular activities, too. A 2010 Government Accountability Office report highlighted confusion in the field about what exactly was expected of schools, particularly with regards to participation in sports, and urged the Department of Education to clarify the issue by publishing new ?guidance.?
This is what?s happened today. And some of that guidance (still not on the Department?s website, as far as I can tell) is pragmatic enough. Schools must allow ?reasonable? accommodations for student-athletes with disabilities, such as providing a ?visual cue? to sprinters with hearing impairments. I?ve got no argument there.
But the Department?s Office of Civil Rights went much further, finding a ?right? to separate sports programs in cases when accommodations are impractical. In other words, a right to wheelchair basketball. Read it yourself:
Students with disabilities who cannot participate in the school district?s existing extracurricular athletics program ? even with reasonable modifications or aids and services ? should still have an equal opportunity to receive the benefits of extracurricular athletics. When the interests and abilities of some students with disabilities cannot be as fully and effectively met by the school district?s existing extracurricular athletic program, the school district should create additional opportunities for those students with disabilities.
In those circumstances, a school district should offer students with disabilities opportunities for athletic activities that are separate or different from those offered to students without disabilities. These athletic opportunities provided by school districts should be supported equally, as with a school district?s other athletic activities.
Note especially the phrase ?should be supported equally.? What might that mean? Must districts spend the same amounts on their disability-sports programs as on their regular sports program? Is it enough to offer wheelchair basketball, or must schools also offer wheelchair tennis, wheelchair volleyball, and wheelchair track and field, too? How would this be applied to other extra-curricular activities? Must schools offer special chess programs for students with cognitive disabilities? Special debate programs for students with speech challenges?
And, of course, how are districts supposed to pay for all of this?
Surely there are good answers to these and other questions and workable solutions that can be found. Trade-offs can be considered, priorities identified, compromises made. But the right place to hash out these concerns is in school-board meetings, not in Washington. And if the federal government insists on creating a ?right? to these types of programs, the correct place to do that is on the floor of the House and Senate ? not in the bowels of the U.S. Department of Education.
The step that federal officials are taking today will have wide-ranging consequences for decades to come. It potentially puts school districts on the hook for billions of dollars in new spending. At the very least, the changes should be subject to the regular regulatory process, which allows for public input, demands an accounting of potential costs, and gives all sides to voice their concerns. A better solution is to let legislators take up this question ? and appropriate funds if they decide that wheelchair basketball and the like is a key priority.
The American people are a compassionate lot. I have no doubt that they will support the notion that kids with disabilities should get to play sports, too. But let?s put it to their elected representatives to decide how it might work and how far a federal mandate should go, not the faceless bureaucrats in the Office of Civil Rights.

Potential benefits and threats of nanotechnology research
Jan. 25, 2013 ? Every day scientists learn more about how the world works at the smallest scales. While this knowledge has the potential to help others, it's possible that the same discoveries can also be used in ways that cause widespread harm.
A new article in the journal Nanomedicine, born out of a Federal Bureau of Investigation workshop held at the University of Notre Dame in September 2012, tackles this complex "dual-use" aspect of nanotechnology research.
"The rapid pace of breakthroughs in nanotechnology, biotechnology, and other fields, holds the promise of great improvements in areas such as medical diagnosis and treatment" says Kathleen Eggleson, a research scientist in Notre Dame's Center for Nano Science and Technology and the author of the study.
"But the risk of misuse of these breakthroughs rises along with the potential benefit. This is the essence of the 'dual-use dilemma.'"
The report examines the potential for nano-sized particles (which are measured in billionths of a meter) to breach the blood-brain barrier, the tightly knit layers of cells that afford the brain the highest level of protection -- from microorganisms, harmful molecules, etc. -- in the human body. Some neuroscientists are purposefully engineering nanoparticles that can cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) so as to deliver medicines in a targeted and controlled way directly to diseased parts of the brain.
At the same time, the report notes, "nanoparticles designed to cross the BBB constitute a serious threat?in the context of combat." For example, it is theorized that "aerosol delivery" of some nano-engineered agent in "a crowded indoor space" could cause serious harm to many people at once.
The problem of dual-use research was highlighted last year when controversy erupted over the publication of findings that indicate how, with a handful modifications, the H5N1 influenza virus ("bird flu") can be altered in a way that would enable it to be transmitted between mammalian populations.
After a self-imposed one-year moratorium on this research, several laboratories around the world announced that they will restart the work in early 2013.
The FBI is actively responding to these developments in the scientific community.
"The law enforcement-security community seeks to strengthen the existing dialogue with researchers," William So of the FBI's Biological Countermeasures Unit says in the study.
"Science flourishes because of the open and collaborative atmosphere for sharing and discussing ideas. The FBI believes this model can do the same for our two communities?[and] create effective safeguards for science and national interests."
The scientists and engineers who conduct nanoscale research have the ability and responsibility to consider the public safety aspects of their research and to act to protect society when necessary, argues Eggleson.
"The relationship between science and society is an uneasy one, but it is undeniable on the whole and not something any individual can opt out of in the name of progress for humanity's benefit," she says.
"Thought about dual-use, and action when appropriate, is inherent to socially responsible practice of nanobiomedical science."

Could Lightning Spur Headaches and Migraines? - Health News ...
FRIDAY, Jan. 25 (HealthDay News) ? Lightning is associated with an increased risk of headaches and migraines, a new study suggests.
This finding could help chronic sufferers better predict the likelihood of a headache or migraine and begin preventive treatment, the University of Cincinnati researchers said.
The study found that chronic sufferers had a 31 percent greater risk of headache and a 28 percent increased risk of migraine on days when lightning struck within 25 miles of their homes. It did not, however, prove a cause-and-effect relationship between lightning and headaches.
New-onset headache and migraine increased by 24 percent and 23 percent, respectively, in patients when there was lightning, according to the study published online Jan. 24 in the journal Cephalalgia.
?Many studies show conflicting findings on how weather, including elements like barometric pressure and humidity, affect the onset of headaches,? study co-leader Geoffrey Martin, a fourth-year medical student at the University of Cincinnati, said in a university news release. ?However, this study very clearly shows a correlation between lightning, associated meteorological factors and headaches.?
?We used mathematical models to determine if the lightning itself was the cause of the increased frequency of headaches or whether it could be attributed to other weather factors encountered with thunderstorms,? study co-leader Dr. Vincent Martin, a headache expert and a professor in the division of general internal medicine, said in the news release.
?Our results found a 19 percent increased risk for headaches on lightning days, even after accounting for these weather factors,? he added. ?This suggests that lightning has its own unique effect on headache.?
?There are a number of ways in which lightning might trigger headaches,? Vincent Martin said. ?Electromagnetic waves emitted from lightning could trigger headaches. In addition, lightning produces increases in air pollutants like ozone and can cause release of fungal spores that might lead to migraine.?
?This study gives some insight into the tie between headaches or migraines and lightning and other meteorologic factors,? Geoffrey Martin said. ?However, the exact mechanisms through which lightning and its associated meteorologic factors trigger headache are unknown, although we do have speculations. Ultimately, the effect of weather on headache is complex, and future studies will be needed to define more precisely the role of lightning and thunderstorms on headache.?

Ancient farmers may have nibbled chocolate
Ancient corn farmers living in pit houses among arid canyons of what is now Utah may have sweetened their lives with a chocolate derivative imported from the tropics of Central America, recent archeological findings suggest.
An archeologist and team of chemists analyzing the remains of an eighth century village near present-day Moab found theobromine and caffeine, compounds found in a cacao tree native to Central America and from which chocolate is derived.
"We associate cacao use with the migration of corn farmers from Mexico into the Southwest," University of Pennsylvania archeologist Dorothy Washburn said on Friday.
But the new findings suggest that cacao, a bean that was ground up and used to flavor food and make drinks, may have arrived in the region hundreds of years earlier than previously thought, and from farther afield, she said.
The team analyzed roughly a half dozen polished and "very beautifully designed" ceramic bowls "with non-local designs" that belonged to farmers whose ancestors migrated north over centuries from parts of Central America, Washburn said.
The findings strongly suggest the bowls contained cacao, and predate earlier traces of cacao studied in jars and bowls found in masonry pueblos from the 11th and 12th centuries at Chaco Canyon, New Mexico, Washburn said.
The Utah study, to be published in April in the Journal of Archaeological Science, is not definitive because water swished around the bowls and then analyzed did not contain a third compound that could prove the existence of cacao, Washburn said.
"We looked for it but didn't detect it," said Washburn, who conducted the study in 2012 with husband William Washburn and his colleague, Petia Shipkova, both chemists at drug maker Bristol-Myers Squibb.
Michael Blake, an anthropology professor at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, said cacao was an elite food in ancient times - the Aztec used cacao beans as currency - and the bowls analyzed in the study were likely from ordinary farmers.
"It is quite possible that it made its way up there as a precious trade item, part of a trade system of a wide range of precious commodities," Blake said.
The earliest evidence of cacao consumption dates back more than 3,000 years to southern regions of Mexico and Central America, Blake said. It cannot grow naturally in the Southwest United States.
Washburn said her team had also discovered cacao in ancient vessels analyzed near Collinsville, Illinois, which were used at the same time as those found in Chaco Canyon in New Mexico.
Washburn said the combination of theobromine and caffeine in the bowls from Utah suggested the existence of cacao, but the traces could also be from types of holly that grow along the Southeast United States Gulf coast and elsewhere.

Twitter ordered to ID anti-Semitic tweeters
14 hrs.
PARIS ???A French court on Thursday ordered Twitter to help identify the authors of anti-Semitic posts or face fines of the?equivalent?of?$1,300?a?day, as the social network firm comes under renewed pressure to combat racist and extremist messages.?
The order, requested by a Jewish student union and rights groups, concerned anti-Semitic material but could open the floodgates to legal pursuit of Twitter users who post a wide range of messages deemed illegal or offensive.?
"This is an excellent decision, which we hope will bring an end to the feeling of impunity that fuels the worst excesses," said Stephane Lilti, lawyer for the groups who sought the ruling.?
The anti-Semitic messages started appearing last October, and have since been deleted.?
The Paris court gave privately?held Twitter, whose general policy is that it does not control content posted on its network, 15 days to hand over data identifying people who have published messages judged anti-Semitic.?
The court also ordered Twitter to set up a system in France that helps people draw attention to illegal content. Under French law, people found guilty of inciting racial hatred can be jailed for a year and fined.?
Twitter's lawyer in France, Alexandra Neri, declined to comment.?
Failure to comply would expose the firm, founded in 2006 and now boasting 140 million monthly active users worldwide, to daily fines of 1,000 euros if the groups who sought the order request it, which Lilti said they would not hesitate to do.?
A rights group involved in the case was quick to point out that the injunction, while limited to a case of anti-Semitic traffic, set a precedent that could also have a wider impact.?
"This marks a decisive step forward in the battle against racist, homophobic and anti-Semitic offences on the Internet," the International League Against Racism and Anti-Semitism (LICRA) said in a statement.?
"Nobody can ignore French law, not even the giants of the American digital economy."?
For a first time, Twitter deployed a new message-blocker in Germany last October to jam the posting of messages by a neo-Nazi group banned by police.?
A tool Twitter calls "country withheld content" allows it to censor tweets considered illegal in a given country.?

Bulls hire Petke, but it's troubling
I?m feeling a little wishy-washy on today?s MLS news maker that Mike Petke is the new sheriff in town around Red Bull Arena. The team named Petke, who has a long history at the club, its newest manager this morning.
I applaud the choice because it checks an important box, the one labeled ?MLS experience.?? I am on the record with my disdain for hiring figures from abroad who couldn?t spell MLS if you spotted them the ?M? and the ?L.?? The league?s peculiarities and unique challenges can be difficult on even the savviest tactician.
So, good on the Red Bulls new upper management for acquiescing on that one, after once appearing determined to land a manager with an accent.
But Petke?s hiring does have me leaving the table a bit hungry. Some questions keep troubling me.
Foremost, if he was their man, why take so long? Why wander through two important player personnel exercises (the MLS combine and the draft) without a solid hierarchy of leadership? Yes, I am aware that Petke was front-and-center in the combine analysis and the draft selections. But to say that he was provided carte blanche to make those choices within a larger, structural vision would seem to be walking back on the reality of the situation. Frankly, I wouldn?t buy it.
A source I trust told me earlier this week the Red Bulls really wanted Portuguese veteran manager Paulo Sousa, and were attempting to work through the visa process. Something clearly derailed that effort.
Does Petke have the experience? There are young, first-year head coaches just north and south in Ben Olsen at D.C. United and Jay Heaps at New England. Jason Kreis, who was a first-time head coach when he took over at Real Salt Lake back in 2007, is yet another contemporary. Olsen has things moving north at RFK, and Kreis? successes cannot be questioned. So this approach clearly can work.
Then again, all three of those scenes were of the re-building variety. New York has certainly reconfigured its roster for 2013, but to call a team with Thierry Henry, Tim Cahill and several other experienced, proven parts a ?re-build? is a massive stretch. Truth is, this is a team that should compete for MLS Cup this year. Those other groups could absorb a learning curve in hiring a first-time head coach; the Red Bulls in 2013 cannot.
Does Petke have the confidence and the gravitas to command? a locker room where King Henry clearly rules? A wise, highly experienced man like former manager Hans Backe had issues in being able to steer the ship where he wished ? so Petke?s challenge in this area seems formidable.

Should I break up the relationship if he is checking ... - Marriage Right
Q: My fianc? always checks out girls while I am with him. Not every girl but when it happens, I feel like I am disappearing and very insulted. Should I break up the relationship?
A:?The choice to break up the relationship depends on how he responds when you talk to him about this issue. He may not be aware of how deeply this is hurting you or how this could be detrimental to the marriage later on. It needs to be processed between the two of you in conversation. If he responds positively to your concerns and changes his behavior, then he?s learning and there?s no reason to break of the relationship over this issue. If, however, he tells you that you should not be insulted and that every man does that, then it could be grounds for breaking up the relationship.
Before you get married, I think you want to make sure that you look at as many issues as you can and find agreement on them. Here?s one you haven?t yet found agreement on, so discuss it with each other. If the two of you can?t solve it, and you really value the relationship, then sit down with a counselor and let a person who has been trained to deal with these types of things help you work through this conflict.
So reach out for help, seek a solution and find a resolution before you move on toward marriage.

NFL First-Down Line: Yellow Line From TV Could Be Coming To Stadiums
BALTIMORE -- Fans watching NFL games on television have grown accustomed to the imaginary yellow line that runs across the field in accord with the first-down marker.
That first-down line could one day become part of the in-game experience at all 32 NFL stadiums.
Alan Amron, with financial backing from former NFL player and broadcaster Pat Summerall, has developed the First Down Laser System. Amron said the system projects a first-down line across the field that can be seen in the stadium and on TV.
The league is intrigued, but not completely sold on the idea ? not yet anyway.
"The NFL is our prime customer at this point," Amron said, "and if we can make something that they like, maybe the NCAA and Canadian Football League will follow suit."
Amron first met with the NFL in 2003 and again in 2009. There may soon be future meetings.
"They give me different opinions and suggestions along the way," Amron said. "We comply with them and come back. They tell me it took them years and years to implement replay and the overhead cam. The NFL right now has made it very clear to us that they didn't want to eliminate the chains, but augmenting them wouldn't be a bad idea."
League spokesman Greg Aiello said, "We have not been convinced that it would work for us, but we are open to further discussion after the season."
The laser system would be attached to the first-down markers on both sides and project a contrasting light green line across the field. The system would work in accord with the chain gang, but is designed to provide a more accurate focal point in terms of measurements. When a player hits the turf, by theory, it would become immediately apparent whether he made a first down.
"A misplaced ball on a first-down measurement can mean the difference between winning and losing a game," Summerall said.
For fans at home, the first-down line is a visual aid that has become as much a part of the telecast as replay and out-of-town highlights. Amron got the idea for the laser after watching a game at home, then going to the stadium and having to do without the line across the field.
"Right away I realized it would be a great thing to be able to project it onto the field," he said. "I filed patents on it within weeks."
In recent years, the NFL has attempted to lure fans from home by making larger replay screens, displaying in-house photos of what the replay official is watching and showing clips from games around the league. Could a first-down line be the next addition?
"It will help all teams bring more fans to the stadium to see the game in person," Summerall said.

Apple Changes The Way It Breaks Out China, App Store, Accessory Revenue
If you look at the data sheet that Apple reports along with its standard earnings release, you’ll notice a few changes this quarter. The company adjusted how it reports revenue for different geographic regions and product categories as China and app store revenue have become significant in their own right over the last few years. (You can compare how this past quarter’s reporting looks compared to the one before with the images at the top and bottom of this post.) The company started breaking out China as a standalone region, after including it for years in a group called “Asia-Pacific,” which excluded Japan. Because Apple’s business has blown up there over the past few years, and China contributed $6.8 billion last quarter, the company is showing it as its own category. That’s more than the $4.4 billion in revenue Japan produced last quarter. “We have established a new operating segment for China, given the contribution of that region to our business,” said chief financial officer Peter Oppenheimer on the earnings call. With the new category, you can see how revenue from China has ballooned. They also broke out app store and iTunes sales in a different way. Before every product category got grouped with accessory revenue, and then app store sales got bundled into a category called “Other Music Related Products and Services.?Today app store and iTunes revenue gets bundled with AppleCare revenue in a category called, “iTunes/Software/Services.” That category brought in nearly $3.7 billion last quarter, up 22 percent from a year earlier. Accessories also get their own category and they contributed $1.8 billion in revenue last quarter, up 25 percent from the same time a year before. Oppenheimer said, “We believe this presentation is a logical grouping of revenue sources and provides greater transparency into our results.”?He added, “These changes have no impact on overall reported income.”Source: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/HDlPTdSBsso/

Apple Retail Stores Do $6.44B Worth Of Sales In Q1 2013, Up From $6.12B Last Holiday Quarter
Apple does well during the holidays, that’s something that’s become extremely obvious. The company has just announced that it did $6.4B in retail store sales, which is up from $6.12B in the last holiday quarter in 2012. The year before? $3.85B. That’s extreme growth, and introducing new products at the end of the year like the iPad mini certainly help those numbers climb. Also, retail sales are up from $4.2B in Q4 2012. The company sold 47.8M iPhones and 22.9M iPads overall in the quarter. Apple’s stock currently sits at $514.17, after some recent stutters. Right now, it’s down over 5% in after hours trading. Regarding this quarter, Apple CEO Tim Cook had this to say: We?re thrilled with record revenue of over $54 billion and sales of over 75 million iOS devices in a single quarter. We?re very confident in our product pipeline as we continue to focus on innovation and making the best products in the world. Here’s a look at Apple’s “Holiday Quarter” growth: The iPad mini absolutely had something to do with the growth in sales at retail stores. Much like the iPhone 5 in Q4 of last year, people stood in line to get their hands on the new device. Also, the stores frequently ran out of specific models, depending on which version that you wanted. That means that sales were strong, naturally. Apple did go through some rough times at the end of last year, parting ways with some senior level managers and having to deal with the embarrassment of a poor iOS Maps experience, but that certainly didn’t hurt the sales of its hardware. People enjoy going into an Apple store, and more importantly, get excited when one comes to their neighborhood. Whether it’s a store in a mall, or a standalone marvel like the ones in New York City, the Apple logo blazing with lights is significant. Great detail go into building these stores, as we learned late last year. Steve Jobs once famously said: Unless we could find ways to get our message to customers at the store, we were screwed.

The Mathematics of the Lifespan of Species
the summary says that the result is valid for species, not individuals. even that is wrong; it's not exactly valid for every species; the result is actually that there is a significant power-law trend across species which is that the mortality rate and birth rate both scale approximately as -0.25*(dry mass) on a log-log scale. however there is also significant variation from the log-log line-of-best-fit; the r^2 is around 0.8, though i don't care enough to read exactly how they designed the study. http://www.pnas.org/content/104/40/15777.full [pnas.org]
humans have, of course, cheated death to some extent, so we're outliers, though it is worth noting that prehistoric humans had a max. lifespan of around 40 years...
this is an old result for animal species; the `result' here is that they checked the extrapolated fit for ~700 plant species and validated it in that domain. scientists generally make small extensions or validate previous conjectures; since the public doesn't understand what they're building from, the media has to present the history as the novelty. it's kind of funny, really.
i remember reading a paper (from sante fe institute, of course) ~20 years ago or so which tried to define a `generalized heartbeat' for cities and nation-states to see if the scaling law would extrapolate. of course, the problem is you can define such a thing however you want.

China recovering from 'soft landing'
DAVOS, Switzerland (AP) ? The head of China's National Economic Research Institute says his country's economy is now recovering from its "soft landing" and that the big challenge in 2013 will be to prevent it overheating.
Fan Gang told a session on China's growth prospects at the World Economic Forum Wednesday that the world's second-largest economy should grow faster in 2013 than it did last year.
China posted growth of 7.8 percent last year, its weakest performance since the 1990s.
Fan said that in 2013 China could grow between 8 percent to 8.5 percent.
