Foreclosure crisis hits minorities harder
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- The mortgage meltdown is hitting the African-American and Latino communities harder than whites, a new study has found.
Of borrowers who took out mortgages between 2005 and 2008, some 8% of both African-American and Latino borrowers have lost their homes to foreclosure, compared to 4.5% of non-Hispanic whites, according to a study by the Center for Responsible Lending, released Friday.
The racial and ethnic disparities continued even after controlling for income differences. The center's research shows that African-American and Latino borrowers were about 30% more likely to get higher-rate subprime loans than white borrowers with similiar risk characteristics.

China buys Greek when no one else will
FORTUNE -- China is hunting for bargains in some unlikely corners of the world. Earlier this week, it opened its checkbook to make 14 commercial investments inside Greece, which is struggling to avoid defaulting on its mounting debt.
China's vice premier Zhang Dejiang signed off on each contract, securing deals in major industries such as telecommunications, real estate and shipping during his four-day visit to Greece, which began on Monday.
Among the contracts signed was a $123 million contract between Helios Plaza and BCEGI, a Chinese real estate company intent on developing a hotel and commercial complex for tourism in Piraeus, Athen's largest port town. Huawei Technologies, a Chinese telecom solutions provider, also inked a deal with Hellenic Telecommunications Organization SA. The company will equip the tourism complex BCEGI is financing.

HHS grants $267 million for more regional extension centers, thousands of jobs
WASHINGTON – The Department of Health and Human Services announced Tuesday awards for more than $267 million to 28 non-profit organizations to establish Health Information Technology Regional Extension Centers.
The grants from the $2 billion allotted for healthcare IT under the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and follows 32 HHS for grants issued last February for regional extension centers (RECs).
********************************
Study points to critical gaps in hospital data security
NASHVILLE – Even as providers work to update their security environments, hospital data continues to be at serious risk, according to the 2010 HIMSS Analytics Report: Security of Patient Data.
Despite new statutory requirements for healthcare privacy and security, the study found critical gaps in data security – and its findings suggested that efforts to keep data safe were often more reactive than proactive, with hospitals dedicating more resources to breach response than to breach prevention.

Healthcare industry one of the most mobile
BLUE BELL, PA – Healthcare IT workers are among the biggest users of smart phones and other mobile technology, but addressing the security needs of such devices remains a critical concern, according to a survey released today.
Forrester Consulting conducted the study on behalf of Fiberlink, the Blue Bell, Pa.-based developer of cloud-based "Mobility as a Service" (MaaS) solutions.
The study, titled "Managing and Securing Mobile Healthcare Data and Devices," found that 95 percent of healthcare enterprises relying on smartphones for work, making the industry one of the most mobile across all verticals.

CCHIT warns certification plan might slow adoption
CCHIT Chairman Mark Leavitt, MDWASHINGTON – The Certification Commission for Health Information Technology (CCHIT) said it believes the Interim Final Rule (IFR) on standards and certification might cause "unintended deceleration in the pace of adoption."
In comments filed March 12 to the Office of the National Coordinator, CCHIT said the IFR - the administration's proposal for EHR standards and certification - drops some standards that were already widely adopted yet introduces other criteria that require an "unrealistic leap forward."
"We believe the criteria and standards need refinement in order to drive an achievable step forward in the meaningful use of EHRs," said CCHIT Chairman Mark Leavitt, MD. CCHIT has been the sole official certifier of EHRs since 2006.

Athenahealth shares fall on news of reporting delay
WATERTOWN, MA – After announcing that it would be postponing the release of its fourth quarter financial results, Watertown, Mass.-based athenahealth, Inc. (ATHN), which provides Web-based billing services to providers, saw its shares fall 13 percent in pre-market trading on Friday.
The firm, whose previous CFO, Carl Byers, stepped down at the end of 2009 and was replaced by Tim Adams this past month, was due to publish its earnings on Thursday, but held back, citing an internal accounting review.
At issue is an evaluation of the company's policy related to the timing of amortization for deferred implementation revenue. Money generated from the implementation of new services for customers accounts for six percent or so of athenahealth's revenue.
********************************
Eclipsys, Microsoft partnership looks to open platforms, interoperability
ATLANTA and REDMOND, WA – Eclipsys Corp., an Atlanta-based health IT company, and computer technology giant Microsoft Corp. are planning to integrate their platforms to provide more flexible and interoperable solutions to healthcare providers.
Under the agreement, officials said both companies plan to integrate key components of Eclipsys' Sunrise Enterprise suite of integrated software applications with Microsoft Amalga Unified Intelligence System (UIS), a data aggregation platform that integrates clinical, administrative and financial data from disparate information systems. Officials said the goal of the planned integration is to give providers improved analytic capabilities and help connect estranged and disparate data repositories.

Hubble peers back 13.2 billion years, finds 'primordial' galaxies
Washington (CNN) -- NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has reached back 13.2 billion years -- farther than ever before in time and space -- to reveal a "primordial population" of galaxies never seen before.
"The deeper Hubble looks into space, the farther back in time it looks, because light takes billions of years to cross the observable universe," the Space Telescope Science Institute said in a statement released Tuesday.
"This makes Hubble a powerful 'time machine' that allows astronomers to see galaxies as they were 13 billion years ago -- just 600 million to 800 million years after the Big Bang," the institute said in a statement released Tuesday.
********************************
NASA launches infrared telescope to scan entire sky
(CNN) -- NASA launched a new telescope into space on Monday to scan the cosmos for undiscovered objects, including asteroids and comets that might threaten Earth.
The Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, or WISE, spacecraft will employ an infrared camera to detect light- and heat-emitting objects that other orbiting telescopes, such as the Hubble, might miss.
WISE launched Monday at 9:09 a.m. ET aboard a Delta II rocket from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. The launch was postponed from Friday because of a problem with the motion of a booster steering engine.

Recycle yule into Christmas alt-fuel
For all the joy of Christmas morning, there's certainly a lot of waste involved. Reams of wrapping paper, forests of evergreens and piles of unwanted fruitcakes are discarded after the holidays.
That got us thinking: Wouldn't it be great if some of that trash could be repurposed as fuel? Turns out it can.
We checked with Spencer Quong, an automotive engineer and alt-fuels expert with a sense of humor. He was with the Union of Concerned Scientists before launching his own consulting biz, Quong & Associates.
********************************
DDoS attack hobbles sites, including Amazon
An attack directed at the DNS provider for some of the Internet's larger e-commerce companies -- including Amazon, Wal-Mart, and Expedia -- took several Internet shopping sites offline Wednesday evening, two days before Christmas.
Neustar, the company that provides DNS services under the UltraDNS brand name, confirmed an attack took place Wednesday afternoon, taking out sites or rendering them extremely sluggish for about an hour. A representative who answered the customer support line said the attacks were directed against Neustar facilities in Palo Alto and San Jose, California, and Allen Goldberg, vice president of corporate communications for Neustar, confirmed that at about 4:45 p.m. PST, "our alarms went off."

Coleman Research Group’s Healthcare department highlights Tax-Loss Carryback in Congress and Japan Helps Consumer Lenders
Coleman Research Group’s Healthcare Team facilitates consultations between our clients (institutional investors) and leading healthcare professionals on a wide variety of topics including pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, clinical research, medical devices, healthcare providers, insurance, and regulatory issues.
Our Healthcare network spans technology industries across the globe and includes doctors, researchers, scientists, healthcare executives, consultants, and former regulatory officials.
********************************
Tax-Loss Carryback Provision Glides in Congress
Congress appears to be on the verge of giving a $30 billion-plus handout to U.S. corporations but—unlike so many other spending provisions—this one is provoking little opposition on Capitol Hill.
The legislation would tweak corporate tax rules that would allow businesses to apply losses sustained in recent years against taxes on profits paid in earlier years. It would do this by extending the so-called net-operating-loss carryback period for firms of any size from two years to five years and would apply to losses for both 2008 and 2009. A similar expanded loss-carryback provision was part of the Obama Administration's original fiscal stimulus plan, but the final bill was cut back to apply only to small businesses.
********************************
As Japan Helps Consumer Lenders, Bankers Worry About Zombies
In Japan’s consumer lending industry, there has been little to cheer about lately. Less than three years ago, the government began tightening rules on consumer financing firms to discourage them from charging consumers exorbitant rates on loans. It also let borrowers who had crushingly high interest payments request a refund. Then came the global financial crisis, piling on the pain for consumer lenders.
One sign of just how bad things have gotten: In late September, Aiful, Japan’s second-biggest consumer lender, asked its own creditors for more time to pay off debts. With new tougher regulations set to go into effect next June, including a lower cap on what consumer lenders can charge, the industry was starting to resemble a train wreck in slow motion. Last fiscal year, Promise and Takefuji swung to an operating loss, while Acom’s profits fell to less than half the previous year’s level. By the end of September, the number of consumer lenders had fallen to less than 5,000, from more than 14,200 in March 2006, according to the Financial Services Agency.

Tax-Loss Carryback Provision Glides in Congress
Congress appears to be on the verge of giving a $30 billion-plus handout to U.S. corporations but—unlike so many other spending provisions—this one is provoking little opposition on Capitol Hill.
The legislation would tweak corporate tax rules that would allow businesses to apply losses sustained in recent years against taxes on profits paid in earlier years. It would do this by extending the so-called net-operating-loss carryback period for firms of any size from two years to five years and would apply to losses for both 2008 and 2009. A similar expanded loss-carryback provision was part of the Obama Administration's original fiscal stimulus plan, but the final bill was cut back to apply only to small businesses.

As Japan Helps Consumer Lenders, Bankers Worry About Zombies
In Japan’s consumer lending industry, there has been little to cheer about lately. Less than three years ago, the government began tightening rules on consumer financing firms to discourage them from charging consumers exorbitant rates on loans. It also let borrowers who had crushingly high interest payments request a refund. Then came the global financial crisis, piling on the pain for consumer lenders.
One sign of just how bad things have gotten: In late September, Aiful, Japan’s second-biggest consumer lender, asked its own creditors for more time to pay off debts. With new tougher regulations set to go into effect next June, including a lower cap on what consumer lenders can charge, the industry was starting to resemble a train wreck in slow motion. Last fiscal year, Promise and Takefuji swung to an operating loss, while Acom’s profits fell to less than half the previous year’s level. By the end of September, the number of consumer lenders had fallen to less than 5,000, from more than 14,200 in March 2006, according to the Financial Services Agency.

Coleman Research Group’s Technology, Media & Telecom department highlights G-Oil bio-based motor oil and time-lapse movies with your iPhone
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.
Our TMT network spans technology industries across the globe and includes CTOs, CIOs, marketing and business development executives, engineers, buyers, and resellers.
********************************
G-Oil bio-based motor oil now available for cars
Green Earth Technologies (GET) announced Wednesday that its environmentally friendly motor oil for cars will soon be available on shelves across the U.S.
The manufacturer of the biodegradable, carbon neutral motor oil made in part from the animal fat of beef slaughter byproducts has been waiting on certification from the American Petroleum Institute before selling its G-Oil to the public.
G-Oil has received API starburst certification, a symbol put on a product's packaging to signify it meets specific standards and is recommended for use by leading vehicle manufacturers. GET's car oil was additionally granted the API service symbol donut, a seal signifying an oil product has "energy-conserving properties in a standard test in comparison to a reference oil."
********************************
Make easy time-lapse movies with your iPhone
Time-lapse movies can be a complicated affair, and quite often involve either a lot of special equipment, and/or post-processing skills. For just a buck though, you can use the recently released Timelapser app (link opens in iTunes) to turn your iPhone into a tool that can do this time-bending filming technique using nothing more than the onboard camera.
Timelapser's interface tells you how long your movie will be, and how many shots it's taken. Depending on what model of phone you have you can use the app to take a picture anywhere from every three seconds to once per half hour. All the while it grabs each frame and stitches it into a movie that's saved on the phone, and that can also be e-mailed to friends.

Coleman Research Group’s Technology, Media & Telecom department highlights charges swirl around Intel/AMD deals and virtual world Meez sees profit

Charges swirl around insider trading on Intel, AMD deals
Think of it as a twist on the old rivalry between chip giants Intel and Advanced Micro Devices. But this time, the rivalry is about which company can make a hedge fund more money.
The complaint filed by the government against six people on Friday details how a relatively obscure Intel treasury executive and a prominent hedge fund manager allegedly participated in an insider-trading ring centered on an Intel investment. The document also shows alleged insider trading of AMD shares by an adviser from McKinsey & Company before the chipmaker spun off of its manufacturing operations.
The case revolves around Raj Rajaratnam, who founded the Galleon Group, a New York-based hedge fund that manages $7 billion in funds. Federal prosecutors charged Rajaratnam and five others on Friday with securities fraud, alleging they were involved in insider trading of some of the most well-known tech companies including Intel, Google, AMD, and IBM.
********************************
Teen virtual world Meez sees profit
Meez, a start-up that expanded last year from an avatar creation service into a full-out virtual world for teens, is touting some good news: it's been profitable since April and "every month is better than the last month," CEO John Cahill told CNET News.
Right now, Meez has about 13 million registered users, 3 million unique hits per month, and only 20 full-time employees plus about 10 contractors.
Where's the money coming from? Premium subscriptions, ads on the free version of the site, and virtual goods bought and sold with its internal "Coinz" currency--which includes a mobile virtual-gift deal with Verizon.

Acer overtakes Dell in PC shipments
Turns out Acer President Gianfranco Lanci wasn't just idly boasting earlier Wednesday when he said his company would pass Dell in the PC rankings "very soon." By very soon he clearly meant "today."
IDC released its PC tracker report Wednesday afternoon for the third quarter of 2009 and for the very first time, Acer is indeed the No. 2 producer of PCs in the world, with 14 percent. Hewlett-Packard remained on top with 20.2 percent of PCs shipped, and Dell dropped to 12.7 percent.
While not a total surprise considering that Acer's and Dell's momentum have been headed in opposing directions for some time, Acer's rise is indeed impressive. Just a few years ago most people would probably not have been able to recognize the Taiwanese brand, but that changed when it scooped up Gateway and began its aggressive attack on retail laptops in the U.S and Europe. Meanwhile Dell has fallen from the top vendor of PCs as recently as mid-2006 to No. 3 today as it navigates the changing PC market.
********************************
New Wi-Fi spec challenges Bluetooth
A new Wi-Fi specification will let wireless devices discover and connect to one another without a router.
The spec, called Wi-Fi Direct, was announced Wednesday by the Wi-Fi Alliance, the industry group that promotes the technology. By making it much easier for devices to connect directly to each other using Wi-Fi, the new spec could pose a challenge to wireless technologies such Bluetooth.
The way Wi-Fi Direct works is that it allows Wi-Fi-enabled devices such as phones, cameras, printers, computers, keyboards, and headphones to connect to other Wi-Fi devices individually or to multiple devices at once. The spec will support standard Wi-Fi data rates, and devices will be able to connect to one another within about 100 meters of each other. This would allow just about any device that has Wi-Fi built into it to use wireless broadband instead of Bluetooth. It could even eliminate the need for Wi-Fi routers in some places.

Rex Healthcare installs 'virtual community'
NORTH CAROLINA – Rex Healthcare, a North Carolina-based not-for-profit health system, is implementing a “virtual community” to promote collaboration between patients and physicians.
Through a new contract with MEDSEEK, a Birmingham, Ala.-based provider of enterprise healthcare portal connectivity solutions, Rex Healthcare will deploy the eHealth ecoSystem.
********************************
National Health IT week begins in nation's capital
WASHINGTON – With 2009 designated by the Obama administration as the year of healthcare transformation, organizers say National Health IT Week delivers a timely message on the potential for healthcare information technology to improve the nation's healthcare system.
Beginning today, the weeklong forum serves as a platform upon which public and private healthcare constituents – vendors, provider organizations, payers, pharmaceutical/biotech companies, government agencies, industry/professional associations, research foundations and consumer protection groups – can raise awareness about the value of health IT among industry leaders and policymakers.

Music publishers: iTunes not paying fair share
Songwriters, composers, and music publishers are making preparations to one day collect performance fees from Apple and other e-tailers for not just traditional music downloads but for downloads of films and TV shows as well. Those downloads contain music after all.
These groups even want compensation for iTunes' 30-second song samples. In the future, Apple may be required to pay licensing fees to ASCAP and BMI for the downloads of TV shows and films it sells.
At a time when many iTunes shoppers are still fuming over Apple's first-ever increase in song prices, the demands by the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP), Broadcast Music Inc. (BMI), and other performing-rights groups, would likely lead to more price hikes at iTunes. For many, this would also undoubtedly confirm their perception that those overseeing the music industry are greedy.
********************************
Who needs Microsoft Office? Freeware puts twists on old apps
Most people become so accustomed to using Microsoft Office that they never consider its alternatives. But there are more than one way to process words and spreadsheets: Word and Excel aren't the only games in town.
In fact, it's getting easier and easier to do without the most popular Office applications. Other than Outlook--which my company uses--I haven't opened a Microsoft Office app since last February, when my HP laptop died prematurely.
In fact, it wasn't easy removing the trial version of Office Enterprise 2007 that was preinstalled on the Sony Vaio that replaced the piece-of-crap HP that died. I've been working just fine using the free Jarte word processor and Gnumeric spreadsheet.

Coleman Research Group’s Healthcare department highlights Abortion Debate and Obama on Canada’s healthcare system
Coleman Research Group’s Healthcare Team facilitates consultations between our clients (institutional investors) and leading healthcare professionals on a wide variety of topics including pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, clinical research, medical devices, healthcare providers, insurance, and regulatory issues.
Our Healthcare network spans technology industries across the globe and includes doctors, researchers, scientists, healthcare executives, consultants, and former regulatory officials.
********************************
Abortion Debate Could Make or Break Healthcare Reform
Antiabortion groups like the Family Research Council and Focus on the Family Action have spent the last month pummeling Democratic healthcare reform proposals over abortion coverage. They've attacked the House Democrats' healthcare bill, for instance, for leaving the door open to abortion coverage in the public health insurance option and for using federal funds to underwrite private healthcare plans that cover abortion. But conservative Christian groups have also made little secret of their opposition to the very idea of a greater government role in healthcare, the abortion controversy aside. A recent E-mail update from the Family Research Council blasted President Obama's push for healthcare reform without ever mentioning abortion. "The American people," it said, "...don't want healthcare delivered with the empathy of the IRS, the efficiency of FEMA, or the mismanagement of the post office."
********************************
Obama: Canada’s healthcare system is “too radical”
When President Barack Obama addressed a joint session of Congress last week in a desperate attempt to push his healthcare agenda through, he described Canada’s single payer healthcare as too much of a radical shift from the current American medical system.
Gee Barry, do you think that when the government of Canada first became involved in the medical care of its citizens it was by way of a single payer system? Okay you probably do but the reality is that Canada’s present single payer healthcare was not designed or created – it evolved over time into what it is today.

Coleman Research Group’s Business and Financial Services Group highlights tax on expensive health plans and stocks bounce on deal talk
Coleman Research Group’s Business and Financial Services Group facilitates consultations between our clients (institutional investors) and leading business and financial services professionals on a wide variety of topics including consumer credit trends, banking and investment services, insurance, residential and commercial real estate, student lending, and regulatory issues.
Our Business & Financial network includes an elite assembly of current and former CFOs and senior executives, accountants, former regulatory officials, academics, and top-level industry consultants.
********************************
Tax on expensive health plans proposed
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A proposed health care compromise by the powerful chairman of the Senate Finance Committee lacks a government-run insurance option and would tax the most expensive health insurance plans, a source close to the discussions told CNN Monday.
As expected, the proposal from Sen. Max Baucus, D-Montana, excludes the so-called public insurance option to compete with private insurers. However, it would allow for the creation of nonprofit health care cooperatives -- an idea that some moderate Democrats and Republicans have expressed possible interest in supporting.
********************************
Stocks bounce on deal talk
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Stocks bounced at Tuesday's open, with the major gauges flirting with fresh 2009 highs, as investors welcomed deal talk overseas and a spike in oil and gold prices and stocks.
The Dow Jones industrial average (INDU) gained 31 points, or 0.3%, in the first few minutes. The S&P 500 (SPX) index added 5 points, or 0.5%. The Nasdaq composite (COMP) advanced 11 points, or 0.5%.
September is typically a tough month for Wall Street as market pros return from their summer vacations with a cleaning house mentality. It is the worst month on Wall Street in terms of percentage losses for the Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq composite, according to Stock Trader's Almanac.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Stocks bounced at Tuesday's open, with the major gauges flirting with fresh 2009 highs, as investors welcomed deal talk overseas and a spike in oil and gold prices and stocks.
The Dow Jones industrial average (INDU) gained 31 points, or 0.3%, in the first few minutes. The S&P 500 (SPX) index added 5 points, or 0.5%. The Nasdaq composite (COMP) advanced 11 points, or 0.5%.
September is typically a tough month for Wall Street as market pros return from their summer vacations with a cleaning house mentality. It is the worst month on Wall Street in terms of percentage losses for the Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq composite, according to Stock Trader's Almanac.

Coleman Research Group’s Technology, Media & Telecom department highlights The Webification of App Security and Hunkering Down, Linux Style
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.
Our TMT network spans technology industries across the globe and includes CTOs, CIOs, marketing and business development executives, engineers, buyers, and resellers.
********************************
The Webification of App Security
Web applications are growing in popularity, and with this increasing ubiquity of Web apps, security is more than ever becoming the No. 1 challenge for enterprises. Traditional network component vendors are under pressure to solve security challenges. However, developing this capability on their own is complex, expensive and requires new skills.
Enter the cooperative spirit. Zeus Technology, a load balancing solutions provider, has partnered with Web security firm Art of Defence to supply Web application security technology through an OEM deal .
"A wide range of Web apps exist for the payment card industry and e-commerce," David Day, CTO for Zeus Technology, told the E-Commerce Times. "These organizations are under increasing pressure to meet regulations for security."
********************************
Hunkering Down, Linux Style
Well September is here, and the final days of summer are hard upon us. Autumn is around the corner here in the Northern Hemisphere, and that means it's time to begin thinking ahead to the winter days to come.
It isn't too surprising, then, that Linux bloggers have turned their attention in recent days to how they like to arrange things in the geeky counterpart of the proverbial nest -- the home office .
"I used to keep everything in a single room and it was a nice setup," began Linux Today's Carla Schroder, who kicked off the conversation with a recent post on her blog. "Lots of shelves, lots of tables, lots of computers, and a big closet for storing the usual herds of parts and manuals that breed and multiply over time."

Coleman Research Group’s Healthcare department highlights Light Shed On Cause Of Down Syndrome and Virus Enzymes Could Promote Human, Animal Health
Coleman Research Group’s Healthcare Team facilitates consultations between our clients (institutional investors) and leading healthcare professionals on a wide variety of topics including pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, clinical research, medical devices, healthcare providers, insurance, and regulatory issues.
Our Healthcare network spans technology industries across the globe and includes doctors, researchers, scientists, healthcare executives, consultants, and former regulatory officials.

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

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.
