Gyft for iOS now compatible with Passbook, adds gift cards from more than 200 retailers

With Apple having recently introduced its novel Passbook feature in the latest version of iOS, it's only natural for app makers to try and take advantage of such miscellaneous hub. With that in mind, Gyft -- a 2012 TechCrunch Disrupt finalist -- has made its application fully compatible with Cupertino's newfangled iOS 6, adding support for the iPhone 5's 4-inch screen and, most importantly, the ability to add gift cards from many retailers to Passbook; some of which include Amazon, Target, Lowe's, GAP, American Eagle and Starbucks. You can grab the Gyft (v1.2) application now directly from your iDevice, or there's always the link below if that makes it slightly easier for you.

New turtle tracking technique may aid efforts to save loggerhead

ScienceDaily (Sep. 20, 2012) ? The old adage "you are what you eat" is helping scientists better understand the threatened loggerhead turtle, which is the primary nester on Central Florida's beaches.

A study published September 21 in the journal PLoS ONE describes how scientists at the University of Central Florida used a technique that links chemical signatures of the turtles' diets and their watery environments to their migratory routes. They found the technique just as effective as expensive satellite tracking.

Little is known about the turtles, which spend 99 percent of their time in the water and return to the Archie Carr National Wildlife Refuge's beach to nest once every two to three years. The 13-mile-long beach is home to the second-largest population of loggerheads in the world and to about one of every four nests those turtles lay in the United States.

While other turtles' nests are increasing along the refuge's shores, the loggerheads' have been declining since 2000. The technique validated by the UCF scientists could help managers preserve the turtles' nesting grounds, migration routes and foraging grounds, all of which are critical to their survival.

"We need good information so policy makers can focus the limited conservation funds available where they can make the greatest impact," said Simona Ceriani, the UCF graduate student who led the study. "We all want our children to see these beautiful creatures and not just read about them in a book."

In addition to validating the tracking technique, the study found that the foraging area for the Florida turtles is much broader than previously thought.

"Think of these turtles as Florida tourists and snowbirds," Ceriani said. "They come and nest and then go back to lots of different places. And while we knew some went back north, we had no idea that this was a popular destination."

Based on her tracking, some turtles head for the water off the shores of Virginia and Delaware while others go to the Bahamas and the Gulf of Mexico. Some stay off the coast of Central Florida's beaches. Previously, scientists believed the majority of the loggerheads headed south.

While there are efforts to protect the turtle nests on the beaches, protecting their foraging grounds is equally important, biologists say. Many turtles die because they accidently get caught in fishing nets or encounter other dangers while out at sea.

The technique Ceriani validated should aid those efforts.

She took small blood samples from turtles at the refuge and completed a chemical analysis, which measured distinct markers known as stable isotopes. She also attached transmitters to the turtles so she could follow them using the more expensive but proven satellite tracking technique. The isotope approach proved to be equally useful, and it is much less expensive.

"By combining isotope research with satellite tracking technology, we are learning exciting information about loggerhead sea turtles," said Daniel R. Evans, a research specialist at the Sea Turtle Conservancy and co-author of the research paper. "This research helps scientists and conservation managers identify key feeding areas for loggerhead turtles and helps direct policy and regulations that protect sea turtles in these specific areas."

Ceriani said she will continue to research the migratory routes by adding more loggerheads to the study.

Ceriani earned her bachelor's degree at the University of Milan in Italy and was a research fellow at Florida Atlantic University before joining UCF's PhD program in conservation biology in 2007.

Others who contributed to the study include: UCF Biologist, John Weishampel, James D. Roth from the University of Manitoba in Canada and Llewellyn M. Ehrhart from the Marine Turtle Research Group at UCF.

Several grants from Florida's Sea Turtle Grants Program funded this study. The program gets is funding from the sale of the Florida Sea Turtle License Plate.

95% Searching for Sugar Man

All Critics (80) | Top Critics (27) | Fresh (76) | Rotten (4)

[A] moving, lyrical account ...

Director Malik Bendjelloul's engaging, cleverly structured documentary about the legendary folk singer Rodriguez is shaped like a mystery.

If you like music, a good mystery or, better yet, a combination of both, you won't be disappointed.

An electrifying illustration of music's power to inspire and change lives on both sides of the footlights.

Submitted for your approval: one Sixto Rodriguez, a Mexican-American singer/songwriter whom Rod Serling would surely embrace, in or out of the Twilight Zone.

Beautiful and revelatory, Searching for Sugar Man also incorporates huge chunks of Rodriguez's music.

Two fans, Stephen Segerman and Craig Bertholomew, made it their business to find out exactly what happened to the singer Rodriguez. And, "Searching for Sugar Man" is the fruits of their labor. The fruit is tasting pretty sweet.

It starts as a bittersweet parable about the cruelty of commerce, but the wonder of "Searching for Sugar Man" will not soon slip away.

You watch "Searching for Sugar Man" at first fascinated by the mystery - what happened to Rodriguez? Where did he go? Then you become infuriated by its revelations of financial injustice.

An unexpectedly fresh nonfiction tale that rustles up deep feelings of a life stolen -- part docu-mystery, part uplifting valentine about the universality and resonating power of music.

Generates immediate interest in a forgotten artist, permitting the delicate yet barbed tunes to guide the experience, returning a sense of excitement to a man who unfortunately missed out on the highlights of his career.

It isn't that Searching for Sugar Man's plot developments are gotcha!-like, but this documentary does boast some bowl-you-over reveals best experienced blind.

Ultimately, for Rodriguez, musical redemption transcends the greed and soul-sapping breaks he encountered.

Rodriguez's life story is only part of what makes "Searching for Sugar Man" such a revelation.

The man and his music are worth checking out, even if the movie is not.

Ultimately an ode to Rodriguez's artistic modesty and the power of his music-a rousing crowd-pleaser that asks you to save questions for another film.

A rousing and all-encompassing look at a man who becomes even more of a mystery after we've gotten to know him.

An inspirational, spiritual experience which illustrates how the purity of soul required to produce the finest works is not dependent on material gain.

Giants lead Panthers 10-0 after 1st quarter

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) ? Eli Manning threw a 14-yard touchdown pass to Martellus Bennett cap New York's game-opening drive and the Giants led the Carolina Panthers 10-0 after the first quarter Thursday night.

Manning directed the Giants to scores on their first two possessions, following his easy scoring throw to Bennett by leading the Giants on a nearly 5-minute drive that ended with Lawrence Tynes' 47-yard field goal. Manning completed 10 of 12 passes for 81 yards in the opening quarter, helping the Giants rack up 158 total yards.

It was a strong start for a team that came in short-handed due to injuries. The Giants were without three starters on offense in receiver Hakeem Nicks, running back Ahmad Bradshaw and right tackle David Diehl. And with the absence of reserve Domenik Hixon, the Giants dressed only four receivers.

It didn't slow Manning, who started the game with a 12-yard strike to wideout Victor Cruz. Andre Brown, starting for Bradshaw, followed with the biggest gainer of the drive when he bounced off a hit from Jon Beason and broke free on the right side for a 31-yard run. Three plays later, Manning found Bennett for an easy throw that put the Giants up at the 11:38 mark of the first quarter.

The touchdown pass capped an eight-play, 80-yard drive that marked the third straight game the Panthers have given up a touchdown on an opponent's first drive.

Then, after the Panthers' first drive stalled across midfield, Brown broke off another long run ? this time 16 yards ? and Manning efficiently moved the Giants downfield to set up Tynes' kick.

Brown finished the quarter with 77 yards on seven carries, including a 19-yarder in the final minute of the quarter.

Carolina managed just 56 yards and three first downs in the period.

The Panthers were missing starting right tackle Byron Bell as well as running back Jonathan Stewart and linebacker Thomas Davis.

Why Pictures Can Sway Your Moral Judgment

We're wired to respond emotionally to images, and that can trigger unconscious biases in the brain.

iStockphoto

When we think about morality, many of us think about religion or what our parents taught us when we were young. Those influences are powerful, but many scientists now think of the brain as a more basic source for our moral instincts.

The tools scientists use to study how the brain makes moral decisions are often stories, said Joshua Greene, a Harvard psychologist, citing one well-known example: "A trolley is headed towards five people and the only way you can save them is to hit a switch that will turn the trolley away from the five and onto a side track, but if you turn it onto the side track it will run over one person."

It's a moral dilemma. Greene and other researchers have presented this dilemma to research volunteers.

Most people say they would flip the switch and divert the trolley. They say they don't want to kill someone, but one innocent person dead is better than five innocent people dead.

What this shows is that people resolve the moral dilemma by doing a cost-benefit analysis. Greene says they look at the consequences of each choice, and pick the choice that does the least harm.

In other words, people are what philosophers would call utilitarians. Except, Greene tells me, sometimes they aren't.

He asked me to visualize another well-known dilemma:

"This time, you're on a footbridge, in between the oncoming trolley and the five people. And next to you is a big person wearing a big backpack. And the only way you can save those five people is to push this big guy off of the footbridge so that he lands on the tracks. And he'll get squashed by the train; you sort of use him as a trolley stopper. But you can save the five people."

Would you push the big guy to his death? More important, do you feel this moral dilemma is identical to the earlier one?

"In a certain sense, they're identical," Greene said. "Trade one life to save five. But psychologically, they're very different."

Pushing someone to their death feels very different from pushing a switch. When Greene gives people this dilemma, most people don't choose to push the big guy to his death.

In other words, people use utilitarian, cost-benefit calculations ? sometimes. But other times, they make an emotional decision.

"There are certain lines that are drawn in the moral sand," Green said. "Some things are inherently wrong, or some things inherently must be done."

There's another dimension here that's interesting: If you watched yourself during the first dilemma, you may have noticed you had to think about whether you'd push that switch. In the footbridge dilemma, you probably didn't have to think. You just knew that pushing someone to his death is wrong.

Greene says we really have two completely different moral circuits in our brain.

When you listen to a dilemma, the two circuits literally have a fight inside your brain. Part of your brain says, slow down, think rationally ? make a cost-benefit analysis. Another says, no, don't think about it. This is just wrong!

"These responses compete in a part of the brain called the ventromedial prefrontal cortex, which is a kind of place where different types of values can be weighed against each other to produce an all things considered decision," Greene said.

So what makes the ventromedial prefrontal cortex go with the rational mode sometimes, and the emotional mode other times?

Greene and a colleague, Elinor Amit, thought closely about what was happening to people as they tipped from rational mode to an emotional mode. In new research they've just published in the journal Psychological Science, these psychologists say they have the answer.

"Emotional responses don't just pop out of nowhere," Greene said. "They have to be triggered by something. And one possibility is that you hear the words describing some event, you picture that event your mind, and then you respond emotionally to that picture."

That's the key: Some dilemmas produce vivid images in our heads. And we're wired to respond emotionally to pictures. Take away the pictures ? the brain goes into rational, calculation mode.

Here's how they found that out: Greene and Amit set up an experiment. They presented people with moral dilemmas that evoked strong visual images. As expected, the volunteers made emotional moral judgments. Then the psychologists made it difficult for volunteers to visualize the dilemma. They distracted them by making them visualize something else instead.

When that happened, the volunteers stopped making emotional decisions. Not having pictures of the moral dilemma in their head prompted them into rational, cost-benefit mode.

In another experiment, Greene and Amit also found that people who think visually make more emotional moral judgments. Verbal people make more rational calculations.

Amit says people don't realize how images tip the brain one way or another. And that can create biases we aren't even aware of.

She laid out a scenario to think about: "Imagine a horrible scenario in which a terrorist takes an ax and starts slaughtering people in a bus," she said. "I'm coming from Israel so these are the examples that I have in my mind."

The story produces a movie in our heads. We can see blood everywhere. We can hear people screaming. We don't have to think at all. It feels terribly wrong.

Then Amit presented another kind of news event: A drone strike that sends a missile hurtling toward a target. At the center of the cross-hairs, an explosion. There's dust billowing everywhere.

"So if you learn about these events from television or from pictures in a newspaper, which one (would you) judge as more horrible?" Amit asked. "The person with the ax that killed maybe two people but the scene looks horrible and extremely violent, or the picture of the drone that killed 100 people but looks relatively clean and nice?"

To be sure, the events Amit describes are completely different. One's a terrorist attack, the other is a military action. But it's true the ax murderer instantly sends the brain into emotional mode.

The drone strike has less vivid imagery. You can't see, up close, what the missile does. So most people go into utilitarian mode ? they start to think about the costs and benefits.

Amit's point is not that one mode is better than the other. It's something much more disturbing. As you listen to the news everyday, hidden circuits in your brain are literally changing the ground rules by which you judge events.

You think you're making consistent moral choices when, really, the movies playing in your head might be making your choices for you.

(AP) ? The space shuttle Endeavour is scheduled to leave Houston early Thursday after giving locals a brief glimpse of what might have been.

Hundreds lined the streets and crowded the airport Wednesday to see the retired shuttle land before it was to head to California where it will be permanently displayed, a fact that doesn't sit well with many Houston residents who feel Space City was cheated out of an artifact that should have been theirs to keep.

"I think that it's the worst thing that they can do, rotten all the way," said 84-year-old Mary Weiss, clinging to her walker just before Endeavour landed after flying low over Gulf Coast towns, New Orleans and then downtown Houston and its airports.

Space City, partly made famous by Tom Hanks when he uttered the line "Houston, we have a problem" in the movie "Apollo 13," has long tied its fortune to a mix of oil and NASA. Astronauts train in the humid, mosquito-ridden city, and many call it home years after they retire. The Johnson Space Center and an adjacent museum hug Galveston Bay.

Houston's bid for a shuttle was rejected after the White House retired the fleet last summer to spend more time and money on reaching destinations, such as Mars and asteroids. Instead, Houston got a replica that used to be displayed at the Kennedy Space Center.

"The one we're getting is a toy. An important toy, but a toy nonetheless," said Scott Rush, 54, of Crystal Beach, Texas.

Still, people came out in droves Wednesday, waving American flags and toting space shuttle toys, cameras and cellphones.

Back-to-back delays in the ferry flight resulted in one day being cut from the Houston visit. After landing, the Endeavour rolled slowly in front of the cheering crowd. It circled and preened like a runway model, giving awed spectators an opportunity to take pictures from a variety of angles.

"I want to go on it," said 3-year-old Joshua Lee as he headed to the landing area with his mother and grandmother.

Joshua's mother, Jacqueline Lee of Houston, viewed the landing as an educational opportunity.

"I don't know if he'll get to see this again," Lee said.

Around sunrise Thursday, the shuttle was scheduled to leave Houston, riding piggyback on a jumbo jet. It's booked to stop at Biggs Army Airfield in El Paso, Texas, before heading to NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center, Calif. After spending a night there, the shuttle will head to Los Angeles International Airport on Friday.

In mid-October, Endeavour will be transported down city streets to the California Science Center, its permanent home.

NASA still plays a large role in Houston, and astronaut Clayton Anderson, who lived on the International Space Station from June to November 2007, encouraged people to focus on a new era of space exploration.

"The shuttles are a wonderful legacy, a huge part of Houston, but now it's time to look to the future," said Anderson, who lives in the Houston suburb of League City.

This is the last flight for a space shuttle. Atlantis will remain at Kennedy for display, and Discovery is already at the Smithsonian Institution, parked at a hangar in Virginia since April.

Endeavour ? the replacement for the destroyed Challenger shuttle ? made its debut in 1992 and flew 25 times before it was retired. It logged 123 million miles in space and circled Earth nearly 4,700 times.

Startup Health Announces Second Class Of Healthcare - TechCrunch

Startup Health first announced Round One of its startup academy roster in March. There were ten different companies, ranging from a device that made it possible to conduct high-risk pregnancy at home to an online service that keeps all your family?s medical records in one place. Today, the incubator has added 12 more startups to the list, bringing the total to 22.

StartUp Health is different from many incubators in that companies enrolled in the program stay there for three years, taking the startup from the idea phase all the way to maturation. The program also includes various workshops and courses (in person) to make sure that each company has exactly what it needs to be successful.

Considering that the healthcare industry is highly regulated and slow to adapt, it only makes sense that an incubator fostering innovation in the sector would give more time, and more guidance, than the average consumer-facing accelerator.

Joining Startup Health, in no particular order, are the following companies:

  • Avado: A relationship management tool that facilitates communication between doctor and patient.
  • Beyond Lucid Technologies: The first electronic patient care record system built specifically for disaster management, including integrated satellite-based GPS that works both online and offline, to help aid first responders like Firemen and EMTs.
  • CakeHealth: A free web service that makes managing and understanding healthcare expenses entirely transparent.
  • CarePlanners: A service that helps you understand the world of healthcare, offering immediate assistance from experts and tools for the long-term.
  • CareLinx: An online network that helps users and organizations find, screen, manage and pay in-home caregivers, by matching them up with patients based on needs and budget.
  • Chemotopia: An app that helps patients prepare for, and get through, every stage of chemotherapy cancer treatment.
  • Docphin: A platform for healthcare providers to personalize, share, and connect through medical research, while enabling hospitals to meet new accreditation and funding requirements.
  • Empower Interactive: A telehealth and e-learning company that aims to reduce the cost and accessibility of behavioral health solutions and transform evidence-based psychotherapy.
  • Greatist: A web site that aggregates and provides trusted social content to help you make better choices about your health, wellness, and overall fitness.
  • Medilky: A turnkey enterprise platform provider that helps bridge the digital gap between pharmaceutical companies and healthcare providers.
  • Rip Road: An app that offers personalized patient health management programs enabling doctors and other healthcare providers to engage patients on their mobile devices so that patients learn to communicate with their providers, actively manage their health conditions, and adhere to their treatments and health regimens.
  • Truth On Call: A mobile market research service that engages with verified physicians in real-time via text, facilitating better communication between healthcare providers, the media, and the government.

Mysterious Martian spheres baffle NASA researchers

The new Mars photo by Opportunity shows a close-up of a rock outcrop called Kirkwood covered in blister-like bumps that mission scientists can't yet explain.

By Tariq Malik,?SPACE.com / September 17, 2012

'This is one of the most extraordinary pictures from the whole mission," said rover mission principal investigator Steve Squyres of Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y., in a statement. "Kirkwood is chock full of a dense accumulation of these small spherical objects.'

A strange picture of odd, spherical rock formations on Mars from NASA's Opportunity rover has scientists scratching their heads over what exactly they're looking at.

The new?Mars photo by Opportunity?shows a close-up of a rock outcrop called Kirkwood covered in blister-like bumps that mission scientists can't yet explain. At first blush, the formations appear similar to so-called Martian "blueberries" ? iron-rich spherical formations first seen by Opportunity in 2004 ? but they actually differ in several key ways, scientist said.

"This is one of the most extraordinary pictures from the whole mission," said rover mission principal investigator Steve Squyres of Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y., in a statement. "Kirkwood is chock full of a dense accumulation of these small spherical objects. Of course, we immediately thought of the blueberries, but this is something different. We never have seen such a dense accumulation of spherules in a rock outcrop on?Mars."

The new photo by Opportunity is actually a mosaic of four images taken by a microscope-like imager on its robotic arm, and then stitched together like puzzle pieces by scientists on Earth.

Opportunity on Mars

The Mars rover Opportunity is currently exploring a location known as Cape York along the western rim of a giantMartian crater?called Endeavour. Opportunity is one of two golf cart-size NASA rovers that landed on Mars in January 2004 (Spirit was the other) to explore different landing sites. ?

The solar-powered rovers were initially expected to last just 90 days on Mars, but each survived for years on the Red Planet. Spirit stopped communicating with Earth in 2010, but Opportunity is still operational.

Despite its advanced age, Opportunity is still pumping out new discoveries after?more than eight years on Mars. The rover first spotted Martian blueberries soon after its landing in 2004. The blueberries are actually concretions created by minerals in water that settled into sedimentary rock.

Opportunity has seen Martian blueberries at many of its science sites during its Red Planet exploits, but the bumpy, spherical formations on the Kirkwood rock represent something new, researchers said. In Opportunity's new photo, many of the strange features are broken, revealing odd concentric circles inside.

"They seem to be crunchy on the outside, and softer in the middle," Squyres said. "They are different in concentration. They are different in structure. They are different in composition. They are different in distribution. So, we have a wonderful geological puzzle in front of us." [7 Biggest Mars Mysteries]

Squyres said he and his science team have several theories, but none that truly stand out as the best explanation for what could have created the weird bumps on Mars.

"It's going to take a while to work this out, so the thing to do now is keep an open mind and let the rocks do the talking," he said.

A Martian spring

The Kirkwood outcrop is just one science pit stop at Cape York for Opportunity. Mission scientists have already picked out another interesting rock outcrop nearby, a pale patch that may contain tantalizing clay minerals, for possibly study after Opportunity completes its current analysis.

Meanwhile, the spring equinox is approaching on Mars, ensuring increasing levels of sunshine for Opportunity's solar arrays.

"The rover is in very good health considering its 8-1/2 years of hard work on the surface of Mars," said rover project manager John Callas of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., in a statement. "Energy production levels are comparable to what they were a full Martian year ago, and we are looking forward to productive spring and summer seasons of exploration."

While Opportunity explores the plains of its Meridiani Planum location, NASA's?Mars rover Curiosity?is poised to resume driving toward its first long-distance destination inside Gale Crater. The rover, which has completed its final health checks, is headed for a site called Glenelg near the base of the 3-mile (5-kilometer) Mount Sharp, a mountain that rises from the center of its Gale Crater landing site.

Curiosity landed on Mars on Aug. 5 and is expected to spend two years studying Gale Crater to determine if the region could have ever supported microbial life.

Users Urged to Drop Internet Explorer Over Security Concerns ...

Browsing the web never used to be too complicated. Years ago, we had a choice between very primitive browsers, mostly between AOL, Netscape and Internet Explorer. Just like everything else related to the internet and the tech world, though, a lot changed in a short period of time. Now the three major browsers are Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Google?s Chrome.

Of course things got more complicated too. We?re constantly reminded of hackers and security threats in the news. Just a few weeks ago Java, a popular coding language used on almost every website, was hit with a particularly nasty exploit. Many security experts took the extreme view of disabling Java entirely until it was finally patched. Today we?ve got news of a similar exploit hitting users of the popular internet browser from Microsoft, Internet Explorer (IE).

So What?s the Vulnerability?

This morning, according to Techwatch, ?Microsoft has warned that its web browser has been hit by a critical vulnerability which could allow an attacker to gain control of IE users? PCs.? Some security holes give hackers access to information, but this can flat out give control of your PC to a hacker. This is definitely not a little bug that you should dismiss as harmless.

The exploit works by abusing Java and HTML code to ?corrupt memory in such a manner that allows an attacker to execute code within IE,? writes Techwatch. To put it more simply, the hacker uses this exploit to turn your web browser (if it?s IE) into a sort-of gateway to control your PC. This means he or she can look through your computer or run other malicious code if they felt the need to. This security hole could be a threat to the average user, but that doesn?t appear to be its target. It?s more likely that businesses, governments, and large multinational corporations are going to be targeted, but you can never be 100% sure.

Germany doesn?t Want Anyone Using IE

Believe it or not, but this very same security exploit has prompted the German government to take a stand against IE. According to Reuters, the German government has told its citizens, ?to temporarily stop using Microsoft Corp?s Internet Explorer.? That advice is in effect until a successful patch has been made to the IE software by Microsoft.

If you think Germany?s response is over-the-top, think again. Cyber security has become a hotbed issue for governments and businesses alike. Attacks have skyrocketed over the last few years by clandestine groups and foreign governments as they went after large companies and government agencies around the world.

What?s even more concerning about this is that the security flaw was discovered by a researcher ?while analyzing a computer server that was used last year to launch a cyber industrial espionage campaign.? Lately, these security attacks have been targeted not at the common user but at businesses involved in important work or businesses with trade secrets. The fact that there could be a link to previous attacks is unsettling.

Why Small Businesses Should Pay Attention to This

If you run a small business you may be reading this and think, ?Ah well, looks like the hackers are going after the big guys, I don?t need to worry about this.? Sure, maybe they will only go after the big players. This time. There?s no way to predict what hackers are looking into and who their targets are going to be.

You see, the thing with hackers is that the ball is always in their court. Security experts can only respond to things they know about, and even then it can take some time. If you willingly use software, browsers, or websites that have been compromised, you are setting yourself up for an attack. Think about how much information your business might keep on the computers. Imagine if that information got out to the public, to competitors, or more importantly, was simply erased by a chaos-inspired hacker. Even something like identity theft is a very real problem!

Sure, the web is a great place to make loads of money for your business. But it?s also a place that requires you to pay serious attention to security. Do you have someone running your security? If the thought never crossed your mind, you might want to consider checking out some security folks to make sure your network is safe from intruders. Don?t let your business and your privacy to the mercy of hackers.

Do you use a browser other than IE? If you don?t, are you going to stop using IE until this exploit is patched?

Dole Food sells two businesses to Itochu for $1.7 billion

TOKYO (Reuters) - Dole Food Company Inc will sell two businesses to Itochu Corp for $1.7 billion in cash - a deal that will help the world's largest fruit and vegetable producer pay down its heavy debt load while expanding Itochu's food presence in new markets such as China.

Dole has been struggling with volatile demand and low prices for bananas, its biggest-selling product. The sale of its worldwide packaged foods and Asia fresh produce businesses is set to result in a significant reduction in its $1.7 billion of net debt, as well as pay for restructuring costs.

By contrast, Japanese trading houses are keen to diversify their profit streams away from energy and mining-related businesses and have stepped up overseas acquisitions thanks to a strong yen and flush reserves of cash.

"Growth in the Japanese market will be slow, but there are growth opportunities in China, where Itochu has distribution networks like the Ting Hsin Group, as well as other Asian markets," said Akio Shibata, president of the Natural Resources Research Institute.

Japan's third-largest trading company has a stake in Ting Hsin, China's country's biggest food distribution company and the purchase will also give it Dole's ripening and distribution centers in the east and northeast of the world's most populous country. It has distributed Dole products in Japan for nearly half a century.

Itochu will also gain control of plantations growing bananas and other fruits, canneries and processing factories in Asian countries, including China, South Korea, Philippines, Taiwan and Thailand. It will have exclusive rights to the DOLE trademark on packaged food products worldwide and on fresh produce in Asia, Australia and New Zealand.

Tensions between Japan and China over disputed islands have sparked growing anti-Japan demonstrations but are unlikely to have a major impact on Itochu's plans to expand through its Dole assets as Itochu doesn't have a big brand presence in China, a separate analyst said.

"Itochu's brand is famous in the industry but not among the general public," the analyst said, requesting anonymity due to the sensitivity of discussing China.

Dole's worldwide packaged foods business-- which includes canned pineapple and frozen fruit -- and its Asia fresh produce business accounted for some $2.5 billion in revenue.

The deal will leave Dole a company that garners around $4.2 billion in annual sales and one focused on its North American fresh vegetables business and its fresh fruit businesses in North America, Latin America, Europe and Africa.

The company expects to implement restructuring steps by the end of fiscal 2013, adding that it expects the measures to result in $50 million in costs savings annually.

Dole began exploring strategic options in May and said in July it was in talks to sell or spin off its packaged foods business and was considering a deal in Asia.

Dole's lead financial advisor was Deutsche Bank Securities Inc while Wells Fargo Securities, LLC also advised on the transaction. Itochu said it would not comment on its financial advisor until after the deal is completed in November.

Dole's shares closed at $13.70 on Monday on the New York Stock Exchange. The stock is up 6.6 percent since Sept 12. after reports emerged that it was in talks with Itochu.

Itochu shares climbed 0.2 percent to end at 832 yen on Tuesday.

Itochu's purchase comes about four months after Marubeni Corp announced a $5.6 billion dollar deal to buy U.S. grain merchant Gavilon. Last year, Mitsui & Co spent a little more than $1 billion for a stake in Asia's largest hospital operator IHH Healthcare Bhd .

Prior to the deal, Itochu estimated about 15 percent of its 280 billion yen ($3.6 billion) net profit for the current business year will come from its food business, compared to the almost 40 percent expected from its metals division. ($1 = 78.8150 Japanese yen)

Super Powers for the Blind and Deaf

The brain rewires itself to boost the remaining senses

It's an oft-repeated idea that blind people can compensate for their lack of sight with enhanced hearing or other abilities. The musical talents of Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles, both blinded at an early age, are cited as examples of blindness conferring an advantage in other areas. Then there's the superhero Daredevil, who is blind but uses his heightened remaining senses to fight crime.

It is commonly assumed that the improvement in the remaining senses is a result of learned behavior; in the absence of vision, blind people pay attention to auditory cues and learn how to use them more efficiently. But there is mounting evidence that people missing one sense don't just learn to use the others better. The brain adapts to the loss by giving itself a makeover. If one sense is lost, the areas of the brain normally devoted to handling that sensory information do not go unused ? they get rewired and put to work processing other senses.

A new study provides evidence of this rewiring in the brains of deaf people. The study, published in The Journal of Neuroscience, shows people who are born deaf use areas of the brain typically devoted to processing sound to instead process touch and vision. Perhaps more interestingly, the researchers found this neural reorganization affects how deaf individuals perceive sensory stimuli, making them susceptible to a perceptual illusion that hearing people do not experience.

These new findings are part of the growing research on neuroplasticity, the ability of our brains to change with experience. A large body of evidence shows when the brain is deprived of input in one sensory modality, it is capable of reorganizing itself to support and augment other senses, a phenomenon known as cross-modal neuroplasticity.

Understanding how the brain rewires itself when a sense is lost has implications for the rehabilitation of deaf and blind individuals, but also for understanding when and how the brain is able to transform itself. Researchers look to the brains of the deaf and blind for clues about the limits of brain plasticity and the mechanisms underlying it. So far, it appears that some brain systems are not very plastic and cannot be changed with experience. Other systems can be modified by experience but only during particular sensitive periods (as is the case with language acquisition). Finally, some neural systems remain plastic and can be changed by experience throughout life. Discovering factors that promote brain plasticity will impact several areas: how we educate normally developing as well as blind and deaf children; rehabilitation after brain injury; and the treatment (and possible reversal) of neurodegenerative diseases and age-related decline.

Most of the research on cross-modal neuroplasticity has focused on blind individuals, who often have enhanced auditory abilities. Brain imaging studies show the visual cortex in the blind is taken over by other senses, such as hearing or touch, and contributes to language processing. However, researchers do not know as much about how deafness changes the auditory cortex. Helen Neville, one of the authors of the new study, previously showed people born deaf are better at processing peripheral vision and motion. Some animal studies indicate both vision and touch play a role in altered cross-modal organization of auditory cortex, but until now, the evidence in humans has been limited.

Investing in Art, The Beginning | The Creativity Post

Synopsis

The basics of starting an art collection realistically and on any budget.

Looking for somewhere ?safe? to put your money? Well, there isn?t one; however, some investors rank art second to only property as the best place to put your money. The art industry is truly a world of its own where the stakes can be high and access limited. With the right knowledge, tips and guidance you can find the right artwork to invest in and can do so on any budget.

We are all equipped with the ability to watch stock prices and this knowledge can be supplemented in various ways through public and private resources. Art, however, is different.? To understand the art market, you're staring down the task of learning thousands of years of product history, a relatively illiquid marketplace and the fact that prevailing tastes play a major role.

Art collecting for investment itself takes patience and dedication so the first, second and third rules of art collecting is that you must have an interest in art. Once you?ve established this, then there are some basic guidelines to begin your collection.

1. Decide what you like and develop a niche
Investing in art takes a bit more ?hands on? investigation than most investment opportunities.? Start by going to museums and galleries just to get a sense of the breadth available to you and to decide what you like. By visiting museums you get the history and you can use the masters to get a sense of the styles that turn you on, which you can use to choose pieces that are closer to your price range. Visit galleries to find out what is going on today and pick up materials on artists you like.

2. Create a budget
You can invest on many levels of the art market, so make your budget realistic to you. What can you realistically spend on artwork in one year, two years or five years? Keep in mind there may be added costs to consider (taxes, framing, shipping, insurance, care for the artwork).

3. Art Investment is Not for ?flippers?.
Based on how much you decide to invest, figure out how much you can afford to have tied up for a while. Art is not a market for ?flippers?; it's decidedly "buy and hold" for the foreseeable future.

4. Make sure your goal and your budget match up.
If your goal is to own all of Monet?s Water Lily paintings by 2020 and your budget is $5,000, you have a problem.

5. Where to go after all of the above.
Auction houses and art funds are going to be at the highest pricing end of art buying and will require the most independent knowledge on your part (or the funds to hire a consultant) so it is wise not to start there until you feel more comfortable. Think more about exploring art fairs to see what galleries are putting forth as their ?best work? and see how that resonates with your collecting tastes and budget. This will also give you more of an idea of pricing of works as many artists work will be shown at multiple fairs.
More importantly spend time when visiting galleries and art fairs building relationships with the staff, primarily the director. Buying and selling of art is based on relationships. This can simply be done by asking questions and expressing a genuine interest in the work and specific artists. Many galleries also offer benefits and special previews to new and established collectors as well as putting you in direct contact with the artists they work with through talks or studio visits. Galleries are more interested in working with individuals who have a long term interest in the work as opposed to someone just looking for a piece that fits ?above the couch?.

6. Questions to ask.
You?ve settled on an artwork or maybe just an artist you really like so now is the time to learn more. Make sure you ask about what I like to call the ?Three P?s?: Pedigree, Press and Personal. Where did this artist go to school? What is his or her background? What kind of collections or press is the artist included in? What is the artist like?
Then you want to ask questions about the artwork itself: Provenance, Proof, Damage. Did anyone own the work before? Is it signed and where? Has it ever been damaged and repaired?

These tips will get you on your way to buying your first works of art. From there, you will want to look long term in growing your collection.?

Google Fiber pre-registration program closes in the Kansas Cities

Google Fiber pre-registration program closes in the Kansas Cities

Gigabit internet speeds are nothing more than a dream for most of us, but for residents of the Kansas Cities, that reality is not far off. The six-week pre-registration program for Google's Fiber network closed yesterday, and at least 180 of the 202 "fiberhoods" earmarked for the upgrade have met their target. That number could rise when all the late entries have been counted, but we won't know until the complete list of areas drops later this week. If yours doesn't make the cut, it's not all bad news: Google's Jenna Wandres told us that although this initial rollout covers Kansas City, KS, and central Kansas City, MO, Fiber will be expanding north and south of the Missouri side in the future. When pre-registration opens for this second round, the 20-some-odd areas that failed to meet the initial criteria will get a second chance to, so start being extra nice to the neighbors if you want to get them on board.

Unfortunately, we couldn't confirm even a ball park date for the expansion, but for the 180-plus hoods that qualify on this occasion, it's time to get excited. Any RTS gamer will know the value of getting your openers tight, and El Goog's currently compiling a "build order" so the areas that expressed the most interest in Fiber will have it first. According to Jenna, implementation is coming "very soon," so be ready to repress that hysterical scream when you see a Google truck casing your block.
