Light Shed On Cause Of Down Syndrome And Other Genetic Disorders
ScienceDaily (Aug. 31, 2009) — Scientists have a better understanding of what causes an abnormal number of chromosomes in offspring, a condition called aneuploidy that encompasses the most common genetic disorders in humans, such as Down syndrome, and is a leading cause of pregnancy loss.
To pinpoint what goes awry in these cases, researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the University of Tennessee, Knoxville studied mice. They found that if a mother’s egg cell has a mutation in just one copy of a gene, called Bub1, then she is more likely to have fewer offspring that survive to birth.
Ordinarily, both copies of a gene in a chromosome must carry the same mutation in order for an organism to be adversely effected.

Virus Enzymes Could Promote Human, Animal Health
ScienceDaily (Aug. 31, 2009) — Could viruses be good for you? Scientists with the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) have shown that enzymes from bacteria-infecting viruses known as phages could have beneficial applications for human and animal health.
Phage enzymes called endolysins attack bacteria by breaking down their cell walls. Unlike antibiotics, which tend to have a broad range, endolysins are comparatively specific, targeting unique bonds in the cell walls of their hosts. This is significant because it means non-target bacteria could be less likely to develop resistance to endolysins.

Frigidaire recalls nearly 43,000 stove models
The Frigidaire division of Electrolux Canada Corp. said Wednesday it is voluntarily recalling nearly 43,000 stoves sold throughout Canada and the United States over a seven-year period.
The company issued warnings about safety hazards related to its Frigidaire and Kenmore Elite freestanding electric ranges with rotary knobs and digital displays. Frigidaire said the stoves’ elements may heat up without being turned on, fail to cool down after being turned off, or heat to different temperatures than those specified by users.
The recall covers 42,955 units — 22,125 Kenmore stoves and 20,830 ranges bearing the Frigidaire brand.

L'Oreal Reveals Beauty Habits in the Face of Recession
NEW YORK, Aug. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- In an ongoing effort to better understand women's beauty routines, L'Oreal, in its 100th year, commissioned an international usage survey. The research featured some unexpected findings about how women's makeup habits are adapting in response to the recession, including how women are using makeup to get ahead at work.
The Beauty Barometer survey asked 4,000 women in the U.S. and four European countries about their cosmetic products and usage. And findings revealed that while women have changed the shades they purchase to be more "natural," they won't be giving up their favorite products anytime soon.
Nearly half of U.S. women surveyed believe wearing makeup gives them an advantage at work and makes them feel more in control. Four out of 10 U.S. women are wearing more neutral shades and a more natural makeup style than before the recession.
The majority of women surveyed believe wearing makeup makes them feel more self confident, and even more believe that wearing makeup improves their self image.

Coleman Research Group’s Technology, Media & Telecom department highlights transit data and IBM Power7 hot topic at Hot Chips conference
Coleman Research Group’s Technology, Media & Telecom Group facilitates consultations between our clients (institutional investors) and leading technology professionals on a wide variety of topics including semiconductors, data storage and security, computer hardware and software, satellite system operators, telecom equipment, cable and wireless providers, and advertising spending.

Who owns transit data?
Commuters on public transit want to know two fundamental things: When can I expect the bus or train to pick me up? And when will it drop me off at my destination?
Nowadays, they may also be wondering whether their local transit agency is willing to share that data with others to put into new and helpful formats.
How likely is it that the arrival and departure information will be available on a site or service other than the official one? That depends on how enlightened your local agency is. In some metro areas, transit agencies make data--routes, schedules, and even real-time vehicle location feeds--available to developers to mash into whatever applications they wish. In others, the agencies lock down their information, claiming it may not be re-used without permission or fee.
********************************
IBM Power7 hot topic at Hot Chips conference
The Hot Chips conference in Palo Alto, Calif this week is focusing on high-end chips for servers and scientific computers, with IBM's upcoming Power7 as a standout.
On Tuesday, IBM will give a presentation on its next-generation server chip, the Power7. IBM documentation describes the chip as having up to eight cores. A dual-chip module holds two processors for a total of 16 cores, according to IBM.
Each core has a rated performance of 32 gigaflops, providing 256 gigaflops per processor--one of the fastest chips to date based on this scientific-centric performance benchmark.
Power7 will be used in the National Center for Supercomputing Applications "Blue Waters" supercomputer, the first system of its kind to sustain one petaflop performance on a range of science and engineering applications, according to the NCSA. A petaflop is one quadrillion floating point operations per second.

Coleman Research Group’s Technology, Media & Telecom department highlights Turbine-electric hybrid VTOL attack drone & Twitter isn't pointless babble

Turbine-electric hybrid VTOL attack drone flies again
The Excalibur, a new turbine-electric hybrid propelled VTOL (vertical takeoff and landing) unmanned attack drone, has successfully completed another test flight after taking on two new onboard computers last week.
Developed by Aurora Flight Sciences Corp. for the U.S. Army Aviation Applied Technology Directorate and the Office of Naval Research, the Excalibur is another radical robo-craft concept vying to fill the military's burgeoning demand for specialized UAVs.
The demonstrator model, weighing in at 700 pounds, can hit 520 mph, making it one of the fastest drones around, according to the Aurora. The nearly autonomous flight control system allows operators to concentrate on finding and engaging targets instead of piloting the aircraft, according to the Manassas, Va.-based company. The Excalibur's jet-borne vertical takeoff and landing and three electric lift fans providing attitude control and hover thrust, make it "runway independent." After takeoff, it flies like a regular turbojet.

Why Twitter isn't pointless babble
Have you ever sat in a bar or a coffee shop, just watching what people do, examining the expressions on their faces, or just desperately trying to overhear the endearing nonsense that emerges from their mouths? That's how I think of Twitter.
Except there is one small difference with this peculiar little microblogging site: you can control who is in the bar or the coffee shop.
Some extremely clever people at Pear Analytics declared last week that 40 percent of tweets are "pointless babble". However, might their analysis be, as the English enjoy saying, just a little pear-shaped?
