Steve Jobs never had license plates from your car
"Think Different" was a slogan of Apple that Steve Jobs liked. He did, of course, very rich.

"Let me tell you about the very rich," wrote F. Scott Fitzgerald. "They are different from you and me."

Now comes a story, following the death of Jobs on one of their differences: the legend of Silicon Valley styled around in a Mercedes without license plates. The stories are legion - who parked in a disabled only in the headquarters of Apple, he was a policeman in California just daring to nail.

However, David Heath says iTWire heard the final version of the story of Jon Callas, chief technology now a digital security company called Entrust, who used to work with Jobs at Apple.

It turns out that there is a provision in the California regulations that give a six months to get plates for a new car, and took advantage of her employment. Yes, he rented a Mercedes SL55 AMG silver, Callas said - and it changed every six months a new one.
"At no time ever in a car as old as six months, and therefore there was no legal requirement for registration plates fitted," Heath writes.

"One could also assume that the leasing company was happy - I had an endless supply of luxury cars for sale, with the previous driver is none other than Steve Jobs."

Callas was on a plane back from Australia today, said his company, but a spokesman said he had often heard him tell the story of how Jobs changed the cars to avoid having to put plates on them. No word on whether he was concerned for his safety, was a highly visible billionaire from mid-twenties.

Jaime Garza in Department of Motor Vehicles confirmed that one can drive a new car for a maximum of six months with only a temporary permit in a corner of the front windshield. CVC 4456 regulations noted:

"A vehicle displaying a copy of the report of the sale can be operated without license plates or registration card until ... [a] of six months from the date of sale of the vehicle, has expired."

But if the state sends its permanent license plates of metal, Garza said, then you are forced to put in your car.

As for parking in a disabled ... so, Jobs was first diagnosed with cancer in 2003 (photo with this story, filmed at the headquarters of Apple, was published on Flickr in September 2008). However, his biographer, Walter Isaacson, paints a picture of a complicated man who can be both inventive and insensitive.

"Why not the best at times? That's the big question," Isaacson said in an interview with ABC News. "Part of it is, it was who he was."

"I think sometimes prickly character, temperament, whatever, probably was not necessary, may have been counterproductive," Isaacson said, talking about how the most demanding jobs may be at Apple ", but it's hard to argue with results, which is the type of team he built, and the loyalty he was able to generate.

How to get listed in Sprint Zone (within applications)

How to get listed in Sprint Zone (within applications)
Sprint customers head to the Sprint area, located on Android phones, like the Evo 3D, for recommendations on applications.

(Credit: Sarah Tew) Sprint Nextel is offering some real estate developers to offer their applications highlighted - if you are willing to pay for it.

The company said Friday it plans to launch a new auction system for developers, allowing them to bid for spots in the area of ​​application of Sprint and Sprint tab is in the Android Market - two places where new customers Sprint go get recommendations for apps.

Sprint Zone is an application found on all Android smartphones that allows users to check their usage, pay bills, and access to company news. It also has a section that highlights the special applications. Similarly, Sprint tab is a section in the market with the recommended applications.

The decision to sell placement in the application area and the tab Sprint Sprint through this auction system that puts more in line with the way online ads are bought and placed and is appropriately called "Place Your Ad." But the change also marks a change in the philosophy behind which has applications in the spotlight.

Previously, developers who submit their applications on a "box step", which would be reviewed by employees of Sprint. A lucky few were chosen and were collected in much merit. The process, however, was free, so that financial considerations are not taken into account in the form of an application is chosen.

With the new system, a developer with the right marketing budget could win the time slot, some customers may deduct for having been blessed with Sprint as a recommended application.

I expressed my concern to an executive at Sprint, which was quick to ensure that this was not the case. Brian Smith, director of product management for the company, said the program really opens up possibilities for developers due to the small area and Tab Sprint Sprint will be able to turn more quickly through different application recommendations, allowing more slots.

"Previously, there was a clear process," said Smith. "We decided that it is best for the company to be the choice of applications, it is best to let developers decide."

Since the program is that there is no way to measure what an average ticket would look like, Sprint said.

Same quality control
In addition, applications will go through the same rigorous selection process before they can participate in the program, he said. For example, applications should have a security policy to protect customer privacy and other personal information.

"Developers are pre-selected by us," said Smith. "We have control over it. These are the latest and greatest applications."

Smith rejected the idea that a developer can big muscles through its competition with more money. He noted that previously, it was hard for Sprint employees to find applications and developers with big budgets can visit Sprint to show their applications, which had a better chance of getting featured. In comparison, the auction process is a democratic option that allows smaller developers to participate, he said.

"We keep this section fresh continually offered to customers," he said. "That's what will drive value for customers, giving them the choice."

Developers can also buy points linked to a specific time or subject. When the Evo 3D came out, Sprint showed the 3D capabilities of Spider-Man in the Highlights section, only to have a series of trotting gambling games companies for Sprint in an effort to make the center of attention. At that time, the selection of applications was a manual process, so Sprint could not find a spot for other games over time. Sprint plans to use different themes at different times of year.

But with the new auction platform, developers can bid on the placement at a particular time if it is a release film or other current event, Smith said. Sprint can now more quickly themed 3D section if you want to show the applications that took advantage of a new phone on the market.

Bidding for placement of
Placing your ad is an auction platform by Global WMC, which has helped companies monitor the quality of third-party content that run on their phones and networks.

The online auction allows developers to bid on a particular time and placement. Once a developer has submitted its bid, which will receive an answer that shows how much time is left on the auction, and that classifying the bidder (World WMC not reveal the identities of other bidders). The auction lasts one week and ends with the winner getting the placement.

It is a common model for online advertising, said Robin Thompson, director of marketing for World WMC. In this model, developers only make an offer that is as big as your marketing budget allow it, and let the auction decide whether it is enough.

"It's not a random event," said Thompson.

I also expressed my concern to Thompson, who echoed the sentiments of many of Smith. He maintained that the auction process is more transparent than before, when Sprint arbitrarily choose the applications. Either way, he believes the bar high for quality should dispel any concern.

"While customer experience is good, not so different from before," he said.

The other major carriers offer their own preloaded applications, or even their own app stores. But none offers an auction system to earn points as featured applications.

"They are the first company to launch this, but not the last," said Thompson.

HP decides to keep its PC business

NEW YORK - Hewlett-Packard said Thursday it will continue to sell PCs, after all, reversing an earlier decision to exit one of its core business lines.

The company surprised Wall Street and the technology industry alike when he announced that on August 18 its board is exploring "strategic alternatives" for its Personal Systems unit. This division consists mainly of HP's PC business, which is the largest in the world. A sale or demerger of two of the options considered.

However, HP (HPQ, Fortune 500) now says he believes that computers should be part of your future.

"It is clear that after our analysis that the maintenance of Personal Systems Group HP is suitable for customers and partners, shareholders rights and the rights of employees," said Meg Whitman, the new CEO of HP named the month past, in a statement. "HP is committed to PSG, and together we are stronger."

The company said it believes the PC business is too entrenched in the supply chain companies and other key HP operations to let go. Computers also help promote the brand HP, and are a crucial part of the company "one-stop" services offered to corporate customers, HP said.

HP analysis also showed that the split in the division would be so costly that it outweighed any benefit of leaving your PC.

The decision to get rid of PC arrived two months after then-CEO Léo Apotheker, who favored fast-growing business, very profitable and HP server software on its PC business, low margin. HP's PC unit was one of the most profitable in the industry, but the company still only squeezed a 5% margin on the devices.

Apotheker also said that PCs are not flying off the shelves more. Mobile devices like smartphones and tablets have begun to eat into sales of PC.

"The tablet is indeed real," said August. "Consumers are changing the ways we use computers."


HP's announcement provoked an uproar of technology analysts of many. They called all-in bet in software and services a risky move for HP, given that its service has spent virtually nothing and its software business represents only 2% of company sales.

Hardware has been the cornerstone of HP PCs that make up one third of the income of the company. Despite its recent problems, HP continues to sell more computers than any other supplier, transport 16.2 million PCs last quarter - enough to give control of 17.3% market share, according to Gartner.

Killing the PC can confuse the customer base HP, some analysts said - particularly after high-profile merger with Compaq did 10 years ago that HP top PC manufacturer in the world.

Apotheker was fired months after its announcement strategy, but current CEO Meg Whitman, said of his hiring last month Apotheker's plan to exit PC is still considered.

But the company said Thursday led to a final stake in the heart of the era of Apotheker.

"As part of HP PSG will continue to provide customers and partners the benefits of product innovation and global scale through the broadest portfolio of industry PCs, workstations and more," said Todd Bradley, Head of Unit, Personal Systems, HP. "We intend to make the PC business leader in the world even better."

Quick & Accurate Diagnosis of Osteoporosis

Quick & Accurate Diagnosis of Osteoporosis
ORDER optimal treatment of osteoporosis, it should be an accurate method of diagnosis. The latest is to use serum betacrosslaps (CTX), which can identify patients in just three months.

People with osteoporosis in Indonesia continues to increase in number. Currently there are approximately 200 million people worldwide suffer from bone loss by the percentage of one in three women over the age of 50 years and one in five men over 50 years.

For treatment of osteoporosis itself, usually the doctor will focus in an attempt to slow or stop the sufferer to lose minerals, improving bone density, and pain control in accordance with the illness.

For optimal results, it is not enough just to sophisticated drugs. Needed a solution that includes an accurate diagnosis, patient adherence to current treatment standards and monitoring on a regular basis.

"Treatment of osteoporosis begins with optimal accurate diagnosis, treatment for a minimum of one year, and monitoring of treatment outcomes. The concept of a comprehensive treatment of this not only helps the doctors, but also patients and the government, considering osteoporosis has become a burden of financing health, economic or social, "said Chairman of the Indonesian Osteoporosis Association (Perosi), Prof. Dr. Dr. Errol U Hutagalung FICS SpOT SpB (K ) in Jakarta, recently.

To be more accurate in diagnosing osteoporosis, the world's leading pharmaceutical companies, Roche, introduced a new method through a serum beta-crosslaps (CTX). According to the Head of Medical Management Roche Indonesia, Dr. Predy Setiawan, bone marker tests (bone markers) can help the treatment of osteoporosis patients benefit optimally by combining the benefits of drug therapy ibandronat once a month and check the serum.

"This solution enables physicians to identify the patient's response to therapy and predict the risk of fracture or broken bone," he said.

The old method of measuring bone density using a bone density measurement (BMD) with the technique of dual energy x-ray absorption (DEXA), he continues, is only able to monitor the outcome of therapy after one or two years. Unfortunately, many patients who feel bored and stop therapy earlier.

In addition, because osteoporosis affects older people, often encountered patients not taking medication as directed so that the result be not optimal. Meanwhile, examination of beta-crosslaps (CTX) were able to identify patients at high risk of bone loss and fractures and is able to detect the patient's response to treatment in only three months.

"This will enhance patient adherence to therapy," said Predy.

He argues, post-menopausal osteoporosis is decreased bone mass gradually increases as age increases the risk of fragility fractures and fracture tulang.Kejadian more common in older women due to a decrease in bone density after menopause naturally.

"After experiencing a first vertebral fracture, fracture risk of a woman's increased fivefold in the period of one tahun.Karena it, the first fracture prevention is very important," he said.

Actually, this process lasts long porous bones. Generally in the body, there is a balance between the process of new bone formation and bone resorption Another ongoing.

In childhood, the process of new bone formation occurs more frequently than the process of bone resorption due to the child in the process of growth. Bone density will reach peak bone mass (peak bone mass) at about 25-35 years of age.

After that, the process of bone resorption will occur more than the process of new bone formation. Under normal circumstances, a person will lose 0.9 percent of the bones each year.

However, in women after menopause at age 40-50 years, there will be 2-4 percent bone loss per year due to declining estrogen. While in men, will occur at the age of 50-60 years with the occurrence of andropause due to reduced testosterone.

Risk factors for osteoporosis, among them a woman, someone who was thin, elderly, have been through menopause, family history, suffering from anorexia nervosa or bulimia, Asia and the Caucasian race, low-calcium diet, and taking certain medications such as corticosteroids in patients long-term asthma and antacids can interfere with calcium absorption.

In addition, the lifestyle is too relaxed, less physical activity, smoking, drinking alcohol, lack of vitamin D, and not many sports activities are also to be the originator of osteoporosis. For that, for those who were aged under 35 years old, preferably as early as possible "saving" of calcium. As for the age on it, the activities to take care of the bones to remain strong must be executed.

Amazon shares fall on earnings miss

Amazon shares fall on earnings miss
In the third quarter NEW YORK-Amazon lost profits strongly Wall Street estimates, sending shares 17% lower in after-hours trading Tuesday.

Amazon earned $ 63 million in the quarter just ended, which represents a decrease of 73% over the same quarter last year. Earnings per share were 14 cents, well below the 24 cents per share forecast of analysts polled by Thomson Reuters.
Sales for the quarter ended September 30 was $ 10.9 billion, which was in line with analysts' estimates.

In a press conference after the earnings, Amazon CFO Tom Szkutak said the decline was reduced to spending revenue expansion: "We are investing in a large amount of capacity that's what we've been talking a lot in recent quarters. . "

Amazon plans to open 17 new stores, Szkutak said. The company has also been disbursed cash in other sectors: the line of new Kindle, your web hosting business, digital content and more.

Amazon (AMZN, Fortune 500) is focused on the positive in its earnings statement, talking about last month's revelation of four new Kindle - but did not provide any details beyond a vague statement that Kindle Fire presale tablet has been so strong that Amazon is the "construction of millions more than already planned."

Amazon has not disclosed sales figures for the Kindle line, which competes with other dedicated e-readers like the Barnes & Noble (BKS, Fortune 500) Nook, Sony (SNE) Reader and Kobo, as well as Apple (AAPL, Fortune 500) multipurpose iPad.

Company "throughout the world of electronics and other general merchandise" sales, which brings on the Kindle, increased 59% over the previous year, reaching U.S. $ 6.3 billion.

The fire Kindle offers Wi-Fi, cellular connection but 3G or otherwise. It also lacks a camera and a microphone, two features found in most competing tablets.

Prices at just $ 199 tablet is not a network of Amazonas wide profit margin, but the company is willing to receive tablets in the hands of customers cheaper - and make money selling the content as e-books, applications, videos and files MP3.

Amazon hopes that its low price will attract more casual customers who are not willing to pay hundreds of dollars for an iPhone, Motorola (MMI) Xoom or Samsung Galaxy Tab.

Amazon also introduced a new line of Kindle e-reader in case of fire, the cheapest of which is a $ 79 ad-supported version of entry - another bargain that would attract more customers.

Jackson is more sedating than the document acknowledges: expert

Jackson is more sedating than the document acknowledges: expert
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Michael Jackson had more of the sedative lorazepam in your bloodstream giving your doctor admitted on the day of his death, a top expert in anesthesiology testified Thursday.

Dr. Steven Shafer, the last prosecution witness in the trial for manslaughter of Conrad Murray also said that propofol is not fatal if swallowed, the undervaluation of an earlier theory, the defense of controversy.

Authorities ruled that Jackson's June 2009 death was caused by an overdose of the anesthetic propofol, combined with the effects of lorazepam.

Murray has admitted giving Jackson a dose of propofol and four milligrams of lorazepam to help sleep. However, his lawyers have argued that Jackson gave himself an extra dose of both drugs without the knowledge of Murray.

Shafer said Thursday that as of the date when Murray said he gave Jackson lorazepam doses amounted to only 10 percent of the amount of the drug found in Jackson's blood at autopsy.

"It is only 10 percent of what is measured, so it did not happen," said Shafer.

Prosecutor David Walgren said: "The blood levels showed that more than four milligrams of lorazepam administered to Michael Jackson?"

"Absolutely," said Shafer.

Shafer also said that studies in animals and humans have shown that propofol is just absorbed into the bloodstream when ingested because most of it is excreted by the liver.

Murray's lawyers said in court last week they were down the theory that propofol Jackson swallowed itself. However, they maintain that he injected more of anesthetics, which is normally used to sedate patients before surgery.

Shafer on Wednesday sharply criticized the attention of pop star Murray 50 years old, and 17 cases gave "serious" violations of the medical community.

He said that the administration of propofol at home to treat insomnia was "drug" Never Never Land "had been made only to Jackson.

The defense questioned Shafer is expected later on Thursday and begin to present their case on Friday. Murray, who has pleaded not guilty, faces a maximum sentence of four years in prison if convicted.

Parents turn to the Internet before going to the emergency room

Parents turn to the Internet before going to the emergency room
BOSTON (Reuters Health) - One in eight parents go online for medical information about your child's condition before taking the child to the emergency room, according to new research.

Moreover, many parents would be willing to visit the sites recommended by your child's doctor - which means that pediatricians should be prepared to offer advice on this subject, according to Dr. Purvi Shroff University of Louisville in Kentucky .

She presented her findings Friday at the 2011 national conference of the American Academy of Pediatrics, Boston.

Dr. Shroff and her team interviewed 240 parents or guardians with Internet access that took her son to the emergency room.

They found 12 percent of parents had consulted the Web about their children's problems in the past 24 hours, while half said they used Internet at least once in the three months prior to a health-related question of his son.

The most common sites were WebMD and Wikipedia, but few parents are using the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, led by the government or the American Academy of Pediatrics healthy site "Children.

Most parents of Internet users said they were likely to visit a website that was recommended by your child's physician.

"Being invested in the health of your child and wanting to learn more and make the best decision for your child is always a good thing. However, when it comes to using the Internet, the proper use depends on having access to sites good and whether or not the information that is applicable to your child, "said Dr. Shroff Reuters Health.

It is important, he said, that parents are able to talk to pediatricians about what they read on the Internet, and for the doctor to put in the context of each child.

Vertex CEO sees "historic launch" of the hepatitis-C drug

Vertex CEO sees "historic launch" of the hepatitis-C drug
BOSTON (Reuters) - The CEO of Vertex Pharmaceuticals Inc, Matthew Emmens, said Thursday that the adoption of its recently launched the hepatitis C drug, Incivek, has been "very, very quickly."

The first full quarter of sales in the U.S. of Incivek arise when the biotechnology company reported its quarterly results later this month.

"We will be very proud of what we show you," Emmens said, speaking at a Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce breakfast.

Incivek The launch "will be a historic launch in terms of acceptance."

Vertex shares rose to 6 percent after his comments.

"I think reading between the lines of his comments there is no indication that sales expectations for Incivek are below where they really Vertex report," said Brian Skorney, an analyst at Brean Murray, Carret & Co.

Analysts were on average expecting sales of Incivek in the neighborhood of about $ 250 million, Skorney said. He expected a number closer to $ 400 million.

Vertex shares stumbled shortly after IMS Health, which provides data on prescription and other services to the pharmaceutical industry, has revised its estimates of the number of prescriptions issued in late September.

Initially, investors believe demand was flattening. Then came IMS had not included some data, which sent the prescription number again.

Emmens declined to comment on the bug, or speculate on whether IMS has exact figures.

"I'm sure our internal data and that's how we went to the company," he said.

Incivek is one of the two new breakthrough drugs for hepatitis C that was launched recently. The other is Victrelis, manufactured by Merck & Co. Both drugs promise a cure rate greater than the disease, which affects the liver and can eventually lead to cirrhosis and liver failure.

Vertex shares closed more than 5 percent, to $ 42.28 in Nasdaq operations. They briefly traded as high as $ 42.65.

IQ can change in adolescence

The mental capacity of adolescents may improve or reject a much larger scale than previously thought, according to a new study.

So far we have assumed that the intellectual capacity, as measured by IQ remains fairly static throughout life.

However, tests for adolescents at a mean age of 14 years and then repeated when the average age was about 18 improvements found - and deterioration.

The findings are published in the journal Nature.

That have implications for how students are evaluated, and the age at which decisions are made about their future.

The study included 19 boys and 14 girls who underwent a combination of brain scans and tests of verbal and nonverbal intelligence in 2004 and then in 2008.

The results show that a change in verbal IQ was found in 39% of adolescents, with 21% showing a change in the "performance IQ" - a test of spatial reasoning.

The results are considered to have greater validity, because for the first time, variations in IQ related to changes in two particular areas of the brain of adolescents.

An increase in verbal IQ corresponds with an increase in the density of a portion of the left motor cortex - an active region during speech.

And an increase in non-verbal IQ correlates with increased density anterior cerebellum - an area associated with hand movements.

The work was led by Professor Cathy Price Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging at University College London and published in the journal Nature.

The paper suggests that the results would be "encouraging for those whose intellectual potential can improve ... and a warning that students can not maintain their early potential."

Professor Price said: "We tend to evaluate children and determine the course of their education relatively early in life.

"But here we have shown that their intelligence is likely to be developing.

"We must be careful not to write more poor artists at an early age, when in fact their IQ can improve significantly given a few more years."

The research does not seek to understand the causes of the changes.

One explanation is that teenagers mature at different relative ages - with "principles" and "late" developers - while the rules relating to education can play a role.

One participant, Friston Sebastian, now 23, showed a marked increase in IQ between the two tests - half to one of the highest categories.

Educated in the public sector, he said he had struggled in their early years, in need of repair math, but is now planning a doctorate in computer engineering.

"I think the change was in school I started doing things that really interest me, which was dedicated to, then I found it easier and more interesting."

The research was funded by the Wellcome Trust, one of the many projects supported within the program of understanding the brain.

Future work may focus on how to adapt the brain may be beyond adolescence, and the implications for the fight against mental illness and other neurological diseases.

Google has a new phone Nexus, redesigned for Android

Google has a new phone Nexus, redesigned for Android
NEW YORK - Google has unveiled the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, the latest "Google phone" that serves as underwriters for Android devices.
The Nexus Galaxy smartphone has some impressive hardware, including a higher than normal 4.65 inch screen, an ultra-slim camera with virtually no shutter lag. But the most important innovation is Android 4.0 - the latest update of Google's mobile operating system, code-named Ice Cream Sandwich.
The new version of Android offers a number of improvements in the world - if not loved - smartphone operating system.
"While people like and need to Android, Android who do not love," said Matias Duarte, Director of Google's Android user interface, an event co-hosted by Google and Samsung in Hong Kong. "Android should be charming, seductive and something you can fall in love."
Google (GOOG, Fortune 500) considers that complies with the idea of ​​giving a total makeover of Android Ice Cream Sandwich. The latest version of Android offers far more tablet-like experience, with interactive widgets of varying sizes, large thumbnails, and an interface without buttons.
Sandwich ice cream also comes with some innovative features like facial recognition technology, which will scan side to unlock the phone. The demo is not in the event Tuesday night, but Google says that the feature works.
And the new Android beam technology allows users to share virtually any type of content, application or contact by placing the phone back to back.
Google gadgets are not
Android 4.0 also has dozens of other useful improvements, such as the type of talk time, showing the words you say on the phone in real time and not after they finish speaking.
Users can also pinch to zoom in Calendar events, create folders, launching applications or contacts on the top of each other, and save pages for offline viewing.
The camera application has perhaps the biggest upgrade. In Ice Cream Sandwich, users can take panoramic pictures with their cameras and take pictures in rapid succession. The front camera can also track the movement of the eyes and rotate a 3-D image based on a user looking for.
If two or more people are sitting next to each other in a video chat, the camera application can know who is speaking and automatically focus on the person speaking.
Although many features were unique to Android, several improvements Sandwich ice cream seemed to have a competition page.
For example, gone are the four buttons at the bottom of the phone, keys for screen navigation and an Apple (AAPL, Fortune 500) iPhone-like "action bar" at the bottom of each screen. The action bar replaces the menu button, giving users the most used functions and the ability to change settings for a.
Like (MSFT, Fortune 500) Microsoft Windows Phone, Ice Cream Sandwich offers in line spell checking, large, interactive "town" tiles, and a stream of updates from friends on social networks in a new "people" the application.
And like the Research In (RIMM) BlackBerry Playbook Motion and Hewlett-Packard (HPQ, Fortune 500) now defunct webOS, Android 4.0 introduces a constant "movie based on" the gestural user interface - when a user is done with something, you can only film distance.
With the new Google mobile operating system, the same software that will be simultaneously available for smartphones and tablets for the first time. Today, smart phones and tablets to run two different operating systems - Pan Honeycomb.
The Nexus Galaxy, to be launched in November, is the flagship Android smartphone party. Google receives bids and proposals from various mobile phone manufacturers to make the device, which runs every year during the winter holiday season.
Samsung has made the Nexus device for the second consecutive year. The first Google phone, the Nexus One, manufactured by HTC.
Insignia subsequent devices will be closely scrutinized, if $ 12.5 billion bid from Google Motorola Mobility (MMI) passes through. Google said that Motorola would not automatically earn the right to make the next phone Nexus, and would offer along with other mobile phone manufacturers to build the device flagship next year.
No specific date or companies were announced for the Galaxy Nexus.

"Switch" key enzyme for infertility and miscarriage

"Switch" key enzyme for infertility and miscarriage
Scientists have identified a "fertility switch" protein that appears to increase infertility if levels are too high and fuel miscarriage if it is too low.

A team from Imperial College London, took samples of the lining of the uterus of more than 100 women.

Writing in the journal Nature Medicine, said that women with unexplained infertility had higher levels of SGK1 enzyme, while those who aborted had low levels.

A fertility expert said the research provides new avenues of research.

About one in six women have difficulty becoming pregnant, and one in 100 women trying to conceive experience recurrent miscarriages, defined as the loss of three or more consecutive pregnancies.

The Imperial College team also conducted studies with mice, they found that levels of SGK1 in decreasing endometrium during the window of time during which they can become pregnant.

When extra copies of SGK1 gene is implanted in the lining of the uterus, these mice were unable to get pregnant.

The researchers say this indicates a decrease in SGK1 levels is essential to make the uterus receptive to the embryos.

However, if low levels of SGK1 persist in pregnancy, this seems to cause different problems.

When the researchers blocked the gene SGK1, the mice had no trouble getting pregnant but they had smaller litters and showed signs of bleeding, suggesting a lack of SGK1 fact miscarriage more likely.
"Research Focus"

Professor Jan Brosens, who led the research at the Imperial Institute of Biology of Reproduction and Development, said: "Our experiments with mice suggest that the temporary loss of SGK1 during the fertile phase is essential for pregnancy, but the tissue samples demonstrate that human remains high in some women who have trouble getting pregnant.

"I can imagine that in the future, we may treat the uterine lining by washing with drugs that block SGK1 before women undergoing IVF."

"It's all very well to measure something that is not - whether or not you can fix is ​​the next step"
Professor Richard Fleming
Glasgow Centre for Reproductive Medicine

After an embryo is implanted, the lining of the uterus develops in a specialized structure called the decidua.

The team says lab tests show low levels of the enzyme may affect the ability of decidual cells to protect against oxidative stress, a condition in which there is an excess of reactive chemicals in cells.

Dr. Madhuri Salk, who also worked on the study, said: "We found that low levels of SGK1 to the lining of the uterus vulnerable to cellular stress, which could explain why low SGK1 was more frequent in women who had abortion recurrent involuntary.

"In the future, we may take biopsies of the lining of the uterus for abnormalities that may give them a higher risk of pregnancy complications, so we can start trying before they become pregnant."

Professor Richard Fleming, the Center for Reproductive Medicine in Glasgow, said the investigation was "encouraging."

"To have something as clear as this, with a specific enzyme, is great. It gives us something to focus on."

However, Professor Fleming, who is also a member of the British Fertility Society, warned there could be some time before the discovery to practice every day.

"It's all very well to measure something that is not - whether or not you can fix it the next step.

Man Gets Double-Hand Transplant

Man Gets Double-Hand Transplant
The Boston Globe reports that Richard Mangino of Revere, Massachusetts, underwent a 12-hour operation last week in which a transplant team gave the forearms and hands of an anonymous donor. Mangino had his own lower arm amputee with his legs when a blood infection threatened to kill him in 2002.


The amputations took Mangino dramatic adjustments in the day to day life, but also marked the beginning of his artistic expression on the canvas. Mangino painted with a brush held in the prosthesis in his left arm.

Mangino was the third successful operation of double hand transplant procedure in the country so far. Last year, Chris Pollock of Pennsylvania, who had lost both hands in a farming accident, appeared on "Good Morning America" ​​to discuss the double hand transplant he received in the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. The first double-hand transplant recipient was Jeff Kepner of Georgia, which in May 2009 also underwent surgery at UPMC.

Brigham and Women's Hospital in the headlines recently for face transplant surgery performed there. In June, the hospital announced it had achieved in the face transplant in 57 years, Charla Nash, who had lost much of his face and hands when a chimpanzee attacked him. Doctors also tried a double hand transplant, but pneumonia and kidney failure after surgery obstructed circulation and transplanted hands had to be removed.

Last April, the hospital announced it had made a face transplant in the n Mitch Hunter, 30, of Indiana, whose face had been disfigured in an accident in 2001. Surgeons also gave 25 years of age, Wiens Dallas Fort Worth, Texas, a new face. Wiens, a construction worker, had suffered severe burns to the head before the year when the jib crane he was operating fell into a nearby power line.

The hospital has also performed a partial face transplant on a man who fell into the first side rail in a subway electrified.

Authorities perplexed by the lack of drug Spike

Authorities perplexed by the lack of drug Spike
It seems that there are multiple factors that are playing in it and it is very difficult to identify what is most important, "said Lurie told Reuters.

The shortage of medicines have been around for years in the United States, but first were intermittent and largely temporary, pharmacists and doctors say. They have soared in a very short time, with a record of more than 200 drugs in short supply in this year, compared to 56 in 2006, according to the FDA.

Health care providers say the companies that make these medications long sold in generic form, have a decreased interest in ensuring a strong supply. After a wave of consolidation, only five to seven companies produce 80 percent of these drugs, and more stringent reimbursement policies have reduced benefits.

However, a group representing companies like Watson Pharmaceuticals Inc. and Sandoz, a division of Novartis AG, blames the FDA for the introduction of unnecessarily strict inspections and the closing of manufacturing facilities for minor issues

Why Android and the iPhone is not going to fall like BlackBerry

Why Android and the iPhone is not going to fall like BlackBerry
Here's a little secret BlackBerry does not want you to know:

It would be technically impossible for all Android phones or iPhones to experience a four-day world as the BlackBerry cutting saw this week, experts in mobile communications.

Why? The answer lies in the technical details of how Research in Motion - the company that makes BlackBerry smartphones, with its rattling click resistant keyboards and tie owners - is responsible for e-mails and text messages.

Here's the rub: RIM acts as an intermediary for all e-mails and text messages BlackBerry. That collects messages from mobile phone operator and passes to the recipient.

Androids and iPhones do not have an intermediate text and email.

BlackBerry baton is the system that fell over, killing or slowing e-mail and text messaging services to millions of people in Europe, North America, South America, Asia, Middle East and Africa. The ordeal lasted four days.

"It's the way that RIM has created architecture (network) is the fall in relation to such courts," said Sean Armstrong, who manages wireless communications technology company in a large. "When it works well, is a great system. When not working, it is a failure."

This week, it is fair to say that the system was a big ol 'failure. At sites of social media, some BlackBerry users said they were so upset by the court - the largest in company history - they were switching to Apple IOS and Google Android devices. And the BlackBerry customer satisfaction was low.

"Add all the other things I've written about why BlackBerry is dying," wrote the tech blog Gizmodo. "This is worse."

This does not mean that androids and iPhones will never experience network outages.

But would not the world. And they would be the responsibility of an operator of mobile telephony in particular - AT & T, Sprint, Verizon and T-Mobile - or a particular messaging system, such as Gmail, Hotmail or IMessage, Apple's internal messaging service. It's not the phone manufacturer.

That makes their own problems more localized.

"All the material passes through them in some form or fashion," said Nan Palmero, a writer for the site BlackBerryCool.com, the way BlackBerry handles messages and e-mail. That makes it possible, he said, to the global network of BlackBerry to crash, which would not be the case for iPhones or Androids.

RIM, however, disagrees with this analysis.

"I would not characterize it as fair," said RIM co-CEO Mike Lazaridis in a press conference on Thursday. "We have a global, secure, push-type environment that provides instant messaging has made BlackBerry so convincing and so valuable."

RIM filters e-mails and BlackBerry messages through their own server farms - giant warehouses full of computers - for security reasons, said Armstrong. The company scrambles messages, making them more difficult to intercept.

Who has won big fans of BlackBerry in the business world.

The system also uses less battery power, and RIM occupies much of the computing work, Armstrong said.

"The process for checking your e-mail with a BlackBerry is carried out by the RIM servers," he said. "So RIM will handle all the hard work go to the inbox and looking for new e-mail, and if it finds new e-mail, which will drive the devices again."

It also creates the risk of a global crash.

But maybe that's not a totally bad thing.

"For two years, we had a big problem like this," said Armstrong. "It's just been small bumps in the road. So I do not see (the middle-man system) as a weakness. I see it as expected, since no system can be without blemish."

Rich Miller, who runs the blog Data Center Knowledge, said it clearly was not prepared for BlackBerry a failure like the one that started on Monday.

"From what we see in this court, it seems RIM has no infrastructure or process rather than trying to correct a fault when it happens and after recovering from a time you have a backlog of mail on their pipes," said .

RIM has said this week blackout was caused by a failure in one of your messaging servers in Europe, together with the subsequent failure of its backup system.

Mike Gikas, a senior technology editor for Consumer Reports, said that problems like the BlackBerry was made this week could be more common because people are storing more of your data - from photos to music and documents - in the cloud, is ie on remote servers instead of your computer at home.

"If these services were never interrupted, which can only mean a lot of unhappy customers," he said. "More and more of our stuff is stored on remote servers, and there is no increased load on the networks that are available 24 / 7."

As the BlackBerry court said, not all are ready.

Study: Chocolate lovers have a lower risk of stroke

the news is getting sweeter, chocolate has been linked to blood pressure, reduced risk of heart disease and now a new study, a lower risk of stroke in women.

Even better, the more chocolate delivered to women, the lower the risk of stroke, researchers in Sweden. For every 50 grams (1.8 oz) increased consumption of chocolate per week, the risk of stroke in general participants fell 14%. The protective effect seems to kick in 45 g (1.6 oz) of chocolate a week, with women in the highest consumption group - (. 2.4 oz) who consumed an average of 66.5 g, or between and two chocolate bars a week - enjoy a 20% lower risk of stroke than those who ate less.

When broken down by type of stroke - ischemic stroke, which occurs when a blood vessel that supplies blood to the brain is blocked by a clot, compared with bleeding, which occurs when a blood vessel in the brain weakens and breaks - a variety of benefits protectors of chocolate. Each increase of 50 grams per week consumption of chocolate was associated with a fall of 27% in the risk of hemorrhagic stroke, compared to 12% lower risk of strokes caused by clots. Why the effect was greater with a type of stroke was unclear, the authors wrote.

MORE: Enjoy! Chocolate is good for the heart

Directed by Susanna Larsson, associate professor in the division of nutritional epidemiology at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, researchers followed 33,372 women from 49 to 83 for about 10 years until 2008. At baseline, women completed questionnaires about their diet and longer life style, including how often they ate chocolate and other foods around 95 in the previous year.

Over the next decade, the researchers recorded 1,549 strokes, including 1,200 ischemic strokes, 224 hemorrhagic strokes and 125 which were not specified. The protective effect of chocolate consumption on the risk of stroke in women persists even after the researchers adjusted for other risk factors for stroke. The results align with previous research on the subject.

The potential benefits to the health of chocolate, especially dark chocolate, have been widely attributed to its flavonoids, antioxidant compounds in cocoa that can stimulate the cardiovascular system. In other studies, researchers have shown that flavonoids can improve blood flow by relaxing blood vessels and lowering blood pressure. You can also inhibit platelet aggregation and reduce inflammation, which contribute to cardiovascular health.

The question is: Do women start gorging on chocolate to ward off a stroke? Not exactly. On the one hand, chocolate is decadent and is intended to be eaten in moderation. "Excessive consumption of chocolate is probably not good, as chocolate is high in sugar, fat and calories and can lead to weight gain, which increases the risk of chronic diseases," says Larsson.

MAS: slightly high blood pressure? You can still be at risk of stroke

Chocolate is not the only food that contains antioxidants, of course. "It's important to have results like these in context. These findings do not mean that people need in exchange for chocolate for broccoli in their diet," said Dr. Nieca Goldberg, a cardiologist at NYU Langone Medical Center in New York, told Reuters Health. "Chocolate has antioxidants, and antioxidants are beneficial to your health. ... But what if they had tried in this study with the skins of apples or grapes?"

While the study adds to evidence that chocolate can be good for cardiovascular health, observational nature can not prove a direct effect. Their dependence on the women self-reports of diet and lifestyle further limit your results.

The authors also note that 90% of the chocolate consumed in Sweden at the time of the survey was the Swedish milk chocolate, which contains about 30% cocoa solids - a much higher concentration than Americans are used to eat. So if you're taking a bar of chocolate, the author suggests the choice of black chocolate, at least 70% cocoa, which has more antioxidants and less sugar than milk chocolate.

"The consumption of chocolate in moderation, and preferably dark chocolate, with a high intake of antioxidant-rich foods such as fruits and vegetables can help reduce the risk of stroke," says Larsson.

The study was published as a research letter in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.

When children become overweight, blood pressure May Spike

When children become overweight, blood pressure May Spike
Children are considered overweight if their body mass index (BMI)-a simple ratio of height to weight is 85 or higher percentile for their age. That imaginary line may seem arbitrary to some, but the child's risk of having high blood pressure nearly triples if he or she crosses it, a new study has found.

Fourteen percent of children with overweight and obesity in the study had high blood pressure (hypertension) or pre-condition of mild hypertension, compared with only 5% of normal weight children. What's more, rates of hypertension and prehypertension appeared to be relatively flat, as BMI increased, to rebound in the 85th percentile and climbing from there.

"If you have a child [which] is already overweight and a small increase in BMI percentile, the risk of hypertension increases really dramatic," says lead study author, Wanzhu Tu, PhD, professor of biostatistics at the Indiana University School of Medicine in Indianapolis. "At the same time, if you were able to reduce BMI percentile even a little, you can actually see much benefit in blood pressure."

Study: Some supplements may pose a risk for older women

Older women have a slightly higher risk of dying at a younger age if you take multivitamins or some other dietary supplements, according to a new study published in Archives of Internal Medicine.

Of the 15 supplements included in the study, iron was more strongly linked to increased risk of premature death. Women who took iron supplements were 10% more likely to die during the 22-year study than women who did not take them, even after the researchers controlled for the health of various other demographic factors.

Folic acid, vitamin B6, magnesium, zinc, copper and multivitamins were also associated with an increased risk of premature death. Calcium was the only supplement associated with a lower risk of death during the study.

"I do not think we really know enough to be prescribed supplements," said David Jacobs Jr., Ph.D., lead study author and professor of public health at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis.

Jacobs points out, however, that people who have been prescribed a vitamin dietary supplements or specific nutrient deficiency should not stop taking them without consulting your doctor.

Vitamins related to higher death risk in women

Vitamins related to higher death risk in women
When it comes to vitamins, looks like it could be too much of something good, say researchers who reported a relationship between use and higher rates of mortality among older women.

Experts have suspected for some time that supplements can only be beneficial if a person has a nutrient deficiency.

And the excess can even harm as the study in Archives of Internal Medicine found.

All women, 50 and 60, were generally well fed, but many have decided to take supplements.

Multivitamins, folic acid, vitamin B6, magnesium, zinc, copper and iron, in particular, seems to increase risk of mortality.

The researchers believe that consumers are purchasing supplements that provide no evidence that any benefit.

Based on existing evidence, we see little justification for broad general use of dietary supplements "
The authors of the study

They are quick to note that their study was based on the 38,000 U.S. women who took part in it remembering what vitamins and minerals had taken over the past two decades.

It is difficult to control for all other factors such as general physical health, which could have influenced the results.

But they say their findings suggest that supplements should only be used if there is a strong reason to do medical basis because of the potential to cause harm.

"Based on existing evidence, we see little justification for the general and widespread use of dietary supplements," said Dr. Jaakko Mursu University of Eastern Finland and his research colleagues.

In the study, iron tablets were strongly linked with a small (2.4%) increased risk of death, like many other supplements. The link to the iron dose-dependent, that is, the more of it the individual, the greater the risk was.

Too much can be toxic and easy to take without realizing more than the recommended daily allowance "
Helen Bond of the British Dietetic Association

By contrast, calcium supplementation appears to reduce the risk of death. However, the researchers say this finding needs further investigation and are not recommended for people taking calcium supplements unless your doctor tells you to treat a deficiency.

Gluud Christian doctors and Goran Bjelakovic that research review Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews to assess the best evidence, said: "We believe that the paradigm of" more is better "is wrong."

They say that dietary supplements has shifted from preventing deficiency to try to promote wellness and prevent illness, and caution: "We believe that all the micronutrients, the risks associated with inadequate intake and too big."

Helen Bond of the British Dietetic Association, said some people, like the elderly, might have to take certain supplements. For example, vitamin D is recommended for people over 65 years.

But he said that generally, people should be able to get all the vitamins and minerals needed for healthy balanced diet.

She said some took supplements as an insurance policy, assuming erroneously that they could not do any harm. "However, the excess can be toxic and is easy to inadvertently take more than the recommended daily amount."

Cloning "makes human embryonic stem cells

Cloning "makes human embryonic stem cells
A form of cloning has been used to create customized communications embryonic stem cells in humans, researchers say.

The genetic material was taken from a skin cell of an adult and transferred to a human egg. This is grown to produce an early embryo.

Stem cells have enormous potential in medicine because they can become any cell in the body.

However, stem cells are chromosomes contained both adults and eggs.

The technique used - the somatic cell nuclear transfer - rose to fame in 1997 when Dolly, the first mammal cloned from an adult cell, was released to the world.

A South Korean scientist Hwang Woo-suk, had stated that have created stem cells from cloned human embryos, but was found to have falsified evidence.

The principal investigator in the New York Stem Cell Foundation Laboratory, Dr. Dieter Egli, said there was "a big question" about whether the cloning technique could be used reliably in humans.

Dolly the sheep

He said other "groups had tried before, but no."

Writing in the journal Nature, said his group had also failed with traditional techniques.

When they removed the egg's genetic material and replaced it with the chromosomes of a skin cell, the egg divided, but not go beyond the cell stage 12.06.

However, hatching own genetic material into the place and added the skin of the chromosomes, the egg developed. It reached the blastocyst stage, which can contain up to 100 cells and is the usual source of embryonic stem cells.


Egg and sperm both have one set of chromosomes, which means that adults with two copies of each chromosome.

In this technique, two adult specimens are added to the copy in the egg is, a total of three, which can be problematic.

Why stem cells?

Many diseases are impossible to treat. As the researchers put it "can not be cured, can only be served."

Stem cells are one of the great hopes of medicine because they can become any other type of cell - nerve, heart, bones, skin, liver, etc.

Create heart cells and it may be possible to repair the damage from a heart attack. Insulin-producing cells are destroyed in patients with type 1 diabetes, but stem cells may one day be used to grow.

Because clinical trials are ongoing. The first trial with embryonic stem cells in Europe, testing a treatment for progressive loss of vision, has begun in London.

However, this does not use the patient's own cells. Immunosuppressive drugs are likely to be needed to prevent rejection. This is the reason for making stem cells from cells of the body is perceived as a gold standard of medicine.
Embryonic stem cell test advantage

Often the embryos without the correct number of chromosomes do not develop at all. Down syndrome is caused by three copies of a single chromosome.

Researchers need to produce embryonic cells that have a single donor DNA, however, once the egg begins to divide the chromosomes are combined in the core and would be almost impossible to separate.

Dr. Egli told the BBC. "The cells that we have still not for therapeutic use is evident that there is more work to do, this is the first day.

"We see this as a step in that direction, so now we know that a human egg can make a specialized adult cell, like a skin cell, a stem cell."

Prof. Mary Herbert, of the Institute for Ageing and Health at Newcastle University, said: "This study shows that the conventional approach to somatic cell nuclear transfer is inefficient in humans.

"However, the authors were able to increase efficiency by letting the host oocyte [egg] genome in place.

"While this approach is not a solution in itself, brings us one step closer to understanding where the problems are."
No embryos required

Recently, a different route to stem cells has been used. Instead of using an egg, a chemical toilet "reprogramming" an adult cell into a stem cell.

While this is seen as more ethical, there are doubts about whether the cells could be used for therapeutic purposes. There are differences between embryos and "induced" stem cells, the latter being more likely to express genes that cause cancer.

Professor Robin Lovell-Badge, National Institute of the UK Medical Research, said: "This work will be considered significant, both for those who are trying to use somatic cell nuclear transfer to produce patient-specific human the Embryonic stem cell lines and those who oppose human experiments 'cloning'.

Artificial Teeth Important For Oral Health

Artificial Teeth Important For

New York: Teeth that have been revoked

Take for example the missing tooth is the lower

Upper teeth are in opposition to the teeth
which is revoked may be more down than

and
theforce of gravity. Likewise, teeth that is located
former cavities adjacent to teeth that had

This if left over time can

The new comfortable to chew. This in
most cases will lead to

The explanation is as follows. In

But if there is a problem with the bite, upper teeth
and bottom are not met the right position
so make your jaw muscles to work harder
and the jaw joints have to shift positions so
can bring the upper and lower teeth meet

In addition, although at rest and not

This situation is not always perceived by the

In an advanced, muscles and jaw joints can be

Vitamin B Prevent Bad Breath

Vitamin B Prevent Bad Breath
Jakarta, Disorders of bad breath may sound trivial but it is quite disturbing. Some things are known as bad breath can cause, one of which was due to deficiency of vitamin B.

Eating chewing gum or using mouthwash only provide a temporary solution, because it does not treat the underlying cause. In addition diligent brushing sometimes not enough.

About 10 percent of cases of bad breath does not come from the mouth, but due to vitamin B deficiency that causes bad breath originating from the stomach, as quoted from Mayoclinic, Saturday (08/10/2011).

Vitamin B complex helps the body make energy from food. When the body lacks this vitamin is the enzyme that is produced to help digest food and reduce bacteria in the blood is reduced.

This condition causes an increase in 'waste' in the blood that lead to bad breath. Symptoms of deficiency of vitamin B complex which include dizziness, migraines and diarrhea.

The same thing also found in the study results Evelyn Roehl researcher who discovered the deficiency of vitamin B3 (niacin) will cause bad breath due to the reduction of metabolic processes in the body. Generally, adults should consume 14-16 mg of vitamin B3 per day.

In addition to vitamin B deficiency, there are also some other cause such as food (onion, meat, milk, sugar, eggs, coffee and alcohol), smoking, having a dry mouth disorders as well as oral hygiene and bad teeth.

To overcome this problem by extending to drink to prevent dehydration and mouth ekring, avoiding food triggers bad breath, use mouthwash containing folic acid if the bad breath due to inflammation in the gums as well as consult a doctor if bad breath is still arising.

Flu Can Be Prevented with Massage

Flu Can Be Prevented with Massage
Jakarta, the person usually take vitamin C to ward off infections like flu germs. But there's a more fun way to prevent flu is to get a massage.

A study published in The Journal of Complimentary and Alternative Medicine reports that massage can enhance the immune system and help cope with stress better.

Both these conditions indicate that massage is not only beneficial for general health, but helps prevent infections contagious diseases like the flu.

In this study the researchers divided the participants into two groups, one group received the traditional Swedish massage while the others only get a light touch that does not cover massage therapy techniques.

After 45 minutes the two groups were then compared blood samples taken. Known to the group who received traditional Swedish massage experience a significant increase in the number of lymphocytes (white blood cells).

As we all know these white blood cells play a major role in protecting the body against disease and reduce levels of stress hormones that are owned.

"We found that biological changes occur when a person get a massage, these changes provide benefits to the health of the body," said Mark Hyman Rapaport, MD, chair of the department of psychiatry and behavioral neurosciences at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, as quoted from Menshealth Saturday (8 / 10 / 2011).

Nothing wrong if you get massage regularly because it can provide many benefits for the body such as boost immunity and increase blood flow, whereas the 5-minute massage at the hands also able to reduce levels of stress.

Preventing Diabetes With Onion Skin

Preventing Diabetes With Onion Skin
Jakarta, onion skin is often discarded as waste. Should start collecting these onion skin. Because the onion skin is in fact contain many properties. Very good as an antidote to cancer and other serious illnesses.

Red onion is one of the herbs required in almost every cuisine. However, many people peel the onion skin and discard it. In fact, according to a recent study, red onion skins proved to have a compound that could ward off cancer and diabetes.

Onions contain sulfur compounds such as allyl Propyl Disulphida (APDS) and flavonoids such as quercetin which is believed to reduce the risk of cancer, heart disease and diabetes. Onions also have elements of anti-cancer, anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-allergenic and anti-inflammatory.

Not only the fruit, the outer skin of a dried onion and darker colored than the fruit also contain fiber and flavonoids that are no less high. As stated by a study of the Journal Plant Foods for Human Nutrition.

"Waste of red onion is a source of valuable natural substances. Therefore, these vegetables are rich in nutrients that are beneficial to human health," said Vanesa Benitez, a researcher at the Department of Agricultural Chemistry University of Madrid, Spain.

Benitez is a research group in collaboration with scientists from Cranfield University UK, conducting laboratory experiments on the benefits of onion skin. They identified the substance of every part of the onion.

From the results of these studies found that, of the dry skin of onion containing high dietary fiber and also contain phenolic compounds, such as quercetin and flavonoids, as well as other metabolites, which are as a drug. Two outer layers of onions also contain fiber and flavonoids are also good for the body.

"Eat lots of fiber can have a lower risk of cardiovascular disease, gastrointestinal complaints, colon cancer, type-2 diabetes and obesity, than those who ate little fiber foods" adds the researcher, as quoted by the Times of India.

In addition, phenolic compounds in garlic are also effective to help prevent coronary disease and anti-carcinogenic. The high level of phenolic compounds in onion skin layers of herbs showed this one has a high antioxidant content.

Of course, the death of Steve Jobs provoke comments from various leaders who have much contact with him. Starting from Bill Gates, who said: "I will really miss Steve." U.S. President, Barack Obama, who said that Jobs changed the way we see the world.

Up to a variety of condolences from various vendors who arguably spend much of their time to find a way to beat Apple products on the market.

To view a summary of his life story, see the article titled Journey's Steve Jobs 1955-2011. Some transitions Jobs appearances throughout his career, can also be listened to in the article: Steve Jobs from period to period.

10 sentences of Jobs' inspiring memorable, and perhaps could be material to quote one day, there are 10 sentences in the article entitled The Genius Inspiring.

Tried to construct a sentence to commemorate Jobs was not easy. Moreover, the capacity simply a 'view from afar' and never knew personally Jobs.

One thing is for sure, Jobs is a figure that will be replaced by anyone. Currently, that can be said only: Bye Jobs, we'll miss you!

How to Health Consultation with a doctor in Cyberspace

How to Health Consultation with a doctor in Cyberspace
PROGRESS times and technology have made the perpetrators of the virtual world to maximize access to the progress of life. One of them, in the health field.

Through Advantcare, media intermediaries engaged in global health, providing health care professionals with a good quality, affordable, and reliable. However, through the virtual world. So, how its application?

Through e-MobileHealth, for your Blackberry users, simply download the application of e-MobileHealth Advantcare of the Blackberry Application World, you can access medical services and health professionals in Jakarta, Singapore, Malaysia and regionally.

Here, you can submit questions about health, make an appointment with a specialist in Singapore and Malaysia, get a second opinion from a specialist in the panels together, and devise a schedule of inspection and evaluation to Indonesia, Malaysia, as well as other countries become partner of Advantcare.

"This idea has been around since the internet exists. Incidentally internet charges, expensive, expensive to download it would cost. Now the Internet cheaper, jad much needed to lower costs," said Gaby Suhairy, Director Advantcare Indonesia when talking with Legal and Medical Sindo in the Mist Centre, Jakarta, Wednesday (13/07/2011).

Furthermore Gaby said, the same as any other treatment stages, through Advantcare patients will also experience the stages.

SpaceX Rocket Design Used Repeatedly

SpaceX Rocket Design Used Repeatedly
CALIFORNIA - Officials of the Space Exploration Technologies Corporation (SpaceX) announced plans to use the space capsule that can be used to make space travel repeatedly.

SpaceX plans to make a rocket that can deliver the cargo out of the sky and then can return to Earth vertically near the runway as the place to launch.

In addition to the rocket itself, the capsule will also be equipped with a delivery system that will also be reused, and are able to re-enter Earth's atmosphere and have great power for landing. This means that there will be no debris rocket and capsule on the ocean or parachutes to the ground, such as the Soyuz and Apollo capsules.

Methods of space exploration, the company put forward by representatives of Hawthorne, based in California. They can explain the possibility of human travel to Mars and the Moon, and see how rockets and unmanned capsules that can land on any straight surface in the solar system. It is quoted by Softpedia, Monday (10/03/2011).

The announcement was stated by the founder and CEO of SpaceX, a founder of PayPal, Elon Musk. He explained the company's plans during a speech at the National Press Club (NPC) in Washington, DC.

However, Musk acknowledged that the company is very complicated task, and requires an exceptional level in terms of innovation and a lot of investment money to complete the project. Currently, SpaceX was not sure about when the method for putting a rocket and capsule systems which can be reused is in active use.

"We'll see if this works. And if this is successful, then this will be a tremendous change," said Musk.

However, Musk added, one of the main reasons SpaceX was founded as the first to travel outside the space that can be done repeatedly is to develop ways to ensure people are constantly building roads into low Earth orbit and beyond.

Within 10 to 20 years ahead, SpaceX hopes to develop a system that can be reused and can use more efficient technologies to make space travel to Mars. It's like a mission to the technology challenges and make an engineering major, but not impossible to do.

"We have a design on paper in order to perform calculations and simulations in order to perform this work could succeed. Now we need to ensure passage of this simulation and actually approved in general," concluded
