Consumer sentiment hits year low in January

NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. consumer sentiment deteriorated for a second straight month to hit its lowest in over a year in January, with a record number of consumers citing the recent "fiscal cliff" debate in Washington, a survey released on Friday showed.

The Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan's preliminary reading on the overall index on consumer sentiment came in at 71.3, down from 72.9 the month before. The index was at its lowest since December 2011.

It was also below the median forecast of 75 among economists polled by Reuters.

"The most unique aspect of the early January data was that an all-time record number of consumers - 35 percent - negatively referred to the fiscal cliff negotiations," survey director Richard Curtin said in a statement.

"Importantly, the debt ceiling debate is still upcoming and could further weaken confidence," he said.

The survey's barometer of current economic conditions fell to 84.8 from 87.0 and was below a forecast of 88.0. The gauge hit its lowest since July.

The survey's gauge of consumer expectations slipped to its lowest since November 2011 at 62.7 from 63.8, and was below an expected 65.2.

The survey's one-year inflation expectations rose to 3.4 percent from 3.2 percent, while the survey's five-to-10-year inflation outlook was at unchanged at 2.9 percent.

Ideas about asteroid-bashing sought

European space officials are seeking ideas to help develop a mission to knock an asteroid off its course, in case one day humans must pull off such a stunt to save Earth from a catastrophic space-rock collision.

The idea behind the joint U.S.-European mission, dubbed AIDA (for Asteroid Impact & Deflection Assessment), is to send two small spacecraft to intercept a binary asteroid? Didymos, which is projected to travel past Earth in 2022. This space rock system is actually a pair of asteroids, one smaller, one larger, that orbit each other as they zoom around the sun.

One 600-pound (300-kg) spacecraft, the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) craft developed by researchers at Johns Hopkins University, would smash into the smaller of the two asteroids. The impact would knock the 500-foot- (150-meter-) wide space rock off its regular orbit.

Meanwhile, the European Space Agency's Asteroid Impact Monitor (AIM) craft would survey the collision. The crash would take place about at 6.5 million miles (10.5 million kilometers), meaning scientists on the ground would also be able to measure the deflection using telescopes.

"The advantage is that the spacecraft are simple and independent," Andy Cheng of Johns Hopkins, who heads the U.S. side of the AIDA asteroid deflection project, said in a statement. "They can both complete their primary investigation without the other one."

White House strikes back on Death Star petition

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Obama administration dashed the hopes of Star Wars geeks across the galaxy by rejecting an official petition calling for the U.S. government to build a Death Star, the fictional planet-destroying space station featured in the Star Wars movies.

"The Administration shares your desire for job creation and a strong national defence, but a Death Star isn't on the horizon," said Paul Shawcross, head of the White House budget office's science and space branch.

"The Administration does not support blowing up planets," Shawcross wrote in a response to the 34,435 people who signed the petition on the White House website.

The White House accepts petitions and responds to the most popular ones. Most of the petitions on the website address weighty policy issues. (Link to petition: http://r.reuters.com/wyv25t)

But in recent weeks, national attention has been drawn to quirky petitions, such as one that supports the minting of a trillion-dollar platinum coin to avoid a debt default if Congress fails to raise the U.S. debt limit next month.

The Death Star petitioners argued the project would create jobs and strengthen national defence. But it would be costly, particularly at a time when the government is fixated on finding ways to slash spending and reduce its debt.

"The construction of the Death Star has been estimated to cost more than $850,000,000,000,000,000 (526.8 quadrillion pounds). We're working hard to reduce the deficit, not expand it," Shawcross said.

Rick Santorum?s Radical Views On Iran And Israel Motivate Anti-Hagel Campaign

Former Republican senator Rick Santorum launched a campaign on Thursday to try to derail Chuck Hagel?s bid to become the next Secretary of Defense. Santorum ? like many of his neocon allies ? has problems with Hagel?s views on Iran and Israel. ?[H]is confirmation would send a dangerous signal to Iran,? a fundraising letter from Santorum?s group Patriot Voices reads, adding that Hagel ?disrespects? Israel.

The well-worn Hagel-hates-Israel-and-loves-Iran charges the neocons have been floating for a month now have been thoroughly discredited, so in the case of Santorum?s anti-Hagel campaign, it?s perhaps more beneficial to note the baseline point of view from where Santorum?s Hagel attacks are rooted. It?s Santorum who is out of the mainstream on these issues. Take a look:

IRAN

The bomb Iran ?plan.? One year ago on NBC?s Meet the Press, Santorum said that if he became president, he?d demand that the Iranians open up all of their suspected nuclear program facilities or face ?air strikes.? ?You would order air strikes??? host David Gregory asked. ?Yes, that?s the plan,? Santorum replied.

Starting a war is preventing a war. This is how the Pennsylvania Republican justified his ?plan? to attack Iran: ?We?re trying to prevent a war.? He later said that bombing Iran won?t ?start a war.?

Iran will use nuclear weapons. Santorum advanced the popular ?martyr state myth? that Iran is incapable of engaging in diplomacy and hell-bent on acquiring nuclear weapons so it can actually use them. ?They?re a theocracy that has deeply embedded beliefs that ? that the afterlife is better than this life? he said. ?It is, in fact, an encouragement for them to use their nuclear weapon.?

Kill Iranian nuclear scientists? ?[N]uclear scientists who work on that program?are enemy combatants similar to the Taliban and al-Qaeda,? Santorum said on the campaign trail in November, 2011.

Obama wants Iran to get nukes? Santorum floated a conspiracy theory that President Obama wanted allow Iran to get nuclear weapons in exchange for access to Iran?s oil.

ISRAELI-PALESTINIAN CONFLICT

One state solution? In November, 2011, Sanotrum said, ?all the people who live in the West Bank are Israelis, they?re not Palestinians,? a position that effectively negates the two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, a plan that the mainstream in both the United States and Israel support.

Recognize Jerusalem as Israel?s capital. Santorum attacked both Obama and Mitt Romney for refusing to call Jerusalem the capital of Israel. The U.S. does not recognize Jerusalem as the capital, a policy ?that dates back to pre-1948, and has been followed by every U.S. Administration since, regardless of the President or party in the White House.? Officially doing so, as one top expert noted, ?would be following Israel into abject isolation, and the United States into an weakened and marginal regional and global role.?

Americans don?t agree with Santorum?s positions on Iran and the Israeli-Palestinain conflict and as such, there?s no reason why they should give any credibility to his attacks on Hagel regarding these issues.

?Americans are broadly supportive of diplomacy as the most important tool in the U.S. national security toolbox, and exceedingly wary of more costly and unnecessary military interventions,? CAP?s Matt Duss wrote this week, adding, ?The fact of the matter is, here in the future of 2013, it?s Hagel?s hawkish critics who are out of the mainstream.?

Acoustic Research's $120 ARS60 Bluetooth speakers seem oddly familiar

This is Acoustic Research's ARS60, a portable Bluetooth speaker that's weirdly pint-shaped, pumps out 16 watts of RMS power and has a battery rated for ten hours of play at medium volume. Of course, we're fairly sure that this is a re-badged SuperTooth Disco 2, albeit slapped with a $120 price-tag. If you're interested in picking one up, it'll be available in the Spring, but if you don't want to wait that long, you could always just buy one of the originals at a cheaper price.

Maximize Your Business With Great Website ... - Maynas Eric

Many people are discovering ways to increase their income these days, and one way is through the use of Internet marketing. The most difficult part of this method is finding how to get started with Online marketing. The following article contains great tips you can use to help you with Affiliate marketing.

Place rich, descriptive words within your site. Adjectives and adverbs can be great tools to use in order to pique the interest of your audience. Come up with your descriptive adjectives and try to be as clever as possible. Make your readers want to come back and hear more of your thoughts.

If you utilize regular emails to your customers, make sure you?re rotating the links that you include within those emails. Anything that is the same will only lead to your customers ignoring the information you are trying to present to them. The person who receives your email needs to be captivated by it to continue to keep reading, so keep things exciting and original.

TIP! You should spend enough time to at least learn a little about web design. There is a wealth of information on the Internet to help you learn CSS, HTML, and other web design specifics.

Your site?s purpose is identified by the tag above it, so choose it carefully. Located atop the web browser?s window, these tags play a large role in the initial impression made by your website. If you say something stupid, confuse readers, or don?t have an authentic message, you won?t make as many sales.

Direct marketing can also work if you know who to target and what they are looking for. Use a variety of methods, such as e-mail, fax or phone, to keep in touch with your customers and let them know about promotions. You may find their contact information in the phone book or online, but it?s even better if they have trusted you with their numbers so they will not feel like you are spamming them.

If you are using AJAX or Flash, do not use it very much. Flashy graphics may look attractive and catch the visitor?s eye, but it will not make you more visible to search engines. Flash is unnecessary for SEO purposes, and a successful Internet site can engage customers without it.

TIP! Consider what a customer would think of your web page when you are reviewing it. Is it truly user-friendly? Is the content enjoyable and interesting? Is an efficient and effective ordering system in place? It is a huge waste of time to put effort into search engine optimization, only to discover that people don?t like your site.

Creating and sharing a viral video with tags is going to help you with Website marketing success. Within the video?s description, be sure to include a link to your website. This will bring a lot of traffic your way.

When writing content, use simple and plain language to make your points or describe your products. Actually using the word ?easy? in your content will get you some added attention. Simplicity will always win out over complexity. So, cater to the basic human desire for easy over hard by using phrases that show just how easy it is to use your product or service. This is an easy way to boost your business.

A friendly looking 500 error page can be very helpful. This occurs when the website?s code is malfunctioning and not working properly. Genetic error messages just display a message that the connection timed out. Instead, inform your visitors that you are working on a fix to their problem using a more creative webpage message that fits the format of your site.

TIP! When writing content, use simple and plain language to make your points or describe your products. Actually using the word ?easy? in your content will get you some added attention.

Emailing a catalog or a flyer with links for similar products is a good followup to customers who buy products or services from you. As an illustrative instance, if your site sells shoes and a customer purchases a pair of boots, provide them with links to the other boots you offer. The more personalized you make your offerings, linking to things they bought before, the better your sales.

Make sure you use offer customers a guarantee, it is a surefire way to increase your success. A guarantee will let people know that they can trust in your company and your products. A guarantee makes people feel confident about trying a new product.

Look for feedback and comments from every part and place in your website and business design. This plays a role in how successful your business is. Get feedback from anyone you can, friends, family and potential clients. Take advice into consideration and make changes as you deem necessary.

TIP! Start small when launching a new website to introduce your offerings. A search engine might overlook a site with too many indexed pages; while limiting your indexed pages could make you more visible with regards to the search engines.

Internet marketers who are successful are optimistic about the products they?re selling and have a positive outlook. Demonstrate to prospective clients how much you personally enjoy the products you sell, and prove that you value your business. If everything sounds great, they will be just as enthusiastic as you are. This will generate more sales and more profits for you.

Think of a free service you can offer your visitors. People will visit just to take advantage of the free offer and they may stick around for a while if the site catches their eye. A good incentive for a finance web site is a free calculator for tax returns.

To compete with today?s type of affiliate marketing, you need to open a social media profile on popular sites. Be sure to take care when sending unwanted emails, as MySpace has been taking notice and have filed lawsuits against those they claim harass others.

TIP! A personal touch can go quite a long way in an ad campaign. Make sure your website has a picture of you, and include your name throughout your advertising.

With the ideas and inspiration from this article, you should be better prepared to start designing and implementing your online marketing strategy. Steel yourself for success by setting goals for both the short and long run. If you set goals and constantly learn and apply new information, you should see success through Internet promotion, before you know it.

Plvap/PV1 critical to formation of the diaphragms in endothelial cells

Discovery points to roles of diaphragms in the maintenance of blood plasma composition and survival

• PV1 expression in vascular endothelium is required for survival
• PV1 is required for the formation of stomatal and fenestral diaphragms
• Lack of diaphragms in fenestrated endothelia causes vascular leak of plasma proteins
• Vascular leak results in severe hypoproteinemia and hypertriglyceridemia

Dartmouth scientists have demonstrated the importance of the gene Plvap and the structures it forms in mammalian physiology in a study published in December by the journal Developmental Cell.

"The knowledge generated and the animal models created will allow a better understanding of the role of the gene in diseases and will help validate its usefulness as a therapeutic or diagnostic target," said lead author Radu V. Stan, MD, associate professor, Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth, and member of the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Norris Cotton Cancer Center (NCCC).

The study demonstrates that plasmalemma vesicle associated protein (PV1), a vertebrate gene specifically expressed in the vascular endothelial cells, is critical for the formation of the diaphragms of endothelial caveolae, fenestrae and transendothelial channels. Although discovered in the 1960s by electron microscopy, the function of the diaphragms was previously unknown. Using mice with loss and gain of PV1 function Dartmouth scientists demonstrated that the diaphragms of fenestrae are critical for maintenance of basal permeability, the homeostasis of blood plasma in terms of protein and lipid blood composition, and ultimately survival.

PV1 has newly discovered roles in cancer and in various infectious and inflammatory diseases. "The knowledge generated and the animal models created will allow a better understanding of the role of the gene in these diseases and to validate its usefulness as a therapeutic or diagnostic target," said Stan.

In the absence of such diaphragms, plasma protein extravasation produces a noninflammatory protein-losing enteropathy resulting in protein calorie malnutrition and ultimately death.

"Our results and the mouse models we have created provide the foundations for evaluating numerous aspects of basal permeability in fenestrated vascular beds," said Stan.

HTC says licensing agreement with Apple will lead to better devices in 2013

FIRST PERSON | The term "fiscal cliff" has been hovering over Americans, a dark cloud that has cast a shadow over the holiday season. Its potential consequences have caused consumer confidence to dwindle, yet the fiscal cliff hasn't produced too much stress in our household. After all, for the past few years my family has dealt with salary cuts and a depressed economy. As a 33-year-old mom living in Los Angeles, I don't like the financial uncertainty the "cliff" represents. But the deal approved Tuesday night won't make or break my family's finances. ...

Who might fill the NFL coaching openings

When NFL coaching jobs open, the names Jon Gruden, Bill Cowher and Tony Dungy immediately surface as potential candidates.

Much more likely than any of those Super Bowl winners returning to the sideline for 2013 would be the hirings of more obscure assistant coaches such as Mike Zimmer, Mike McCoy and Gus Bradley.

And Jon Gruden's younger brother, Jay.

Sure, some of the best-known coaches, including Andy Reid, Lovie Smith and Ken Whisenhunt, who lost their jobs Monday, will be in the mix. So might college coaches Chip Kelly of Oregon and Bill O'Brien of Penn State.

Maybe even Nick Saban, although leaving Alabama for the NFL is a long shot.

Bringing in highly accomplished coordinators has been the most common route for NFL teams lately. Cincinnati's Zimmer and Gruden and Denver's McCoy top most lists, along with Bruce Arians, who went 9-3 as Indianapolis' interim coach this season.

"Obviously, he's earned any phone call he gets, he's earned that right," Colts coach Chuck Pagano said of Arians, who replaced him for 12 games while Pagano underwent chemotherapy for leukemia. "And let me just say this, we do not want to lose Bruce Arians. We know who he is and what he's meant to this football team ..."

Zimmer was turned down twice last season after interviewing with Tampa Bay, which brought in Rutgers coach Greg Schiano, and Miami (Green Bay offensive coordinator Joe Philbin). The defensive mastermind still wants to be a head coach somewhere, but isn't getting his hopes up.

"Honestly, I don't listen to that stuff anymore," he said in early December. "Honest-to-God's truth. I've had for so many years, have people say, 'This is your year.' Then at the end of the year for about three days I'm totally depressed because I see this guy get a job, that guy get a job, that guy get a job.

"So it's in my best interest not to think about it, talk about it and just try to do the best job I can because I'm like (everybody else), I get disappointed too."

Gruden, who cut his coaching teeth in Arena Football and has revived Cincinnati's offense around Andy Dalton and A.J. Green, got some interest from other teams after last season. He quickly took himself out of the running, but might get more suitors with seven jobs open.

So might McCoy, whose adaptability is unquestioned after he adjusted Denver's offense for Tim Tebow's skill set last season, then made Peyton Manning's transition from the Colts to the Broncos so smooth.

Arians joined the Colts after he was released as Pittsburgh's offensive coordinator. When Pagano was diagnosed with leukemia, Arians stepped in and guided a team that went 2-14 a year ago into the playoffs.

Bradley has helped Pete Carroll build a physical, sometimes intimidating and always effective defense in Seattle. That style of defense will be attractive to teams such as the Bears, Browns and Eagles who have to deal with cold weather late in the schedule.

Kelly is one of the most intriguing candidates. The NFL is loath to admit it is enamored of anything college teams do, but Kelly's wide-open, speed-based offense has lots of pro franchises salivating.

He has been mentioned for most NFL openings, and that figures to continue.

Retreads also will get interviews, and not only the coaches who were canned on Monday. Denver defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio and Atlanta DC Mike Nolan might have earned another chance.

"When you're a young guy and you haven't been there, the urgency and desire to get that opportunity is such that you'd take just about any job given to you," said Del Rio, who was in charge in Jacksonville for nine seasons. "I don't feel that way now. If there's something that fits and the right situation comes along, so be it. But in the meantime, I'm all in, 100 percent as a lieutenant on this staff. I'm somebody that John Fox, John Elway ... and the players can count on. I'm 100 percent invested in helping them be their best."
