New research suggests that pregnant mothers who consume junk food cause developmental changes of the opioid signaling pathway in the brains of their unborn children. Consequently, these children are less sensitive to opioids released upon consumption of foods high in fat and sugar, and need to eat more to achieve a "feel good" response.Thu, 28 Feb 2013 10:34:34 ESThttp://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/02/130228103443.htmhttp://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/02/130227183504.htm The presence of an animal can significantly increase positive social behaviors in children with autism spectrum disorders, according to new research.Wed, 27 Feb 2013 18:35:35 ESThttp://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/02/130227183504.htmhttp://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/02/130227183320.htm One of literature's oldest mysteries is a step closer to being solved.

A new study shows that college students with overcontroling parents are more likely to be depressed and less satisfied with their lives. This so-called helicopter parenting style negatively affects students' well-being by violating their need to feel both autonomous and competent. Parental overinvolvement may lead to negative outcomes in children, including higher levels of depression and anxiety. Studies also suggest that children of overinvolved or overcontroling parents may feel less competent and less able to manage life and its stressors. In contrast, evidence suggests that some parental involvement in children's lives facilitates healthy development, both emotionally and socially.Tue, 12 Feb 2013 11:18:18 ESThttp://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/02/130212111803.htmhttp://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/02/130212100556.htm Parents act differently with different children -- for example, being more positive with one child and more negative with another.

Ikea withdraws meatballs in 21 European countries

STOCKHOLM (AP) ? Swedish furnishings giant Ikea says it is withdrawing meatballs from stores in 21 European countries amid concerns that they could contain horse meat.

Monday's move comes after authorities in the Czech Republic said they had detected horse DNA in tests of 1-kilogram (2.2-pound) packs of frozen meatballs labeled as beef and pork.

Ikea spokeswoman Ylva Magnusson told AP that stores in 21 countries using the same Swedish supplier would remove meatballs from their shelves.

She said that includes most European countries, but not Russia and Norway, which use local suppliers. She added that Ikea stores outside Europe are not affected.

Chinese vs. Western Development Model in Africa

PRAXIS: The Fletcher Journal of Human Security published in 2012 an article titled "China in Africa: What the Policy of Nonintervention Adds to the Western Development Dilemma."? The author is Madison Condon, a joint J.D./MALD candidate between Harvard Law School and the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy.?

The article makes the point that Chinese loans and investments are typically made in exchange for securing access to natural resources.? Based on its principles of nonintervention and respect for sovereignty, "China gives this money with little or no strings attached."? The author argues that the Chinese model is a legitimate challenger to Western aid.

While the article contains some annoying imprecision as it intermingles investment, loans and aid, it does offer a useful juxtaposition of the so-called Washington and Beijing Consensus models.?

New way to probe Earth's deep interior proposed

Feb. 21, 2013 ? Researchers from Amherst College and The University of Texas at Austin have described a new technique that might one day reveal in higher detail than ever before the composition and characteristics of the deep Earth.

There's just one catch: The technique relies on a fifth force of nature (in addition to gravity, the weak and strong nuclear forces and electromagnetism) that has not yet been detected, but which some particle physicists think might exist. Physicists call this type of force a long-range spin-spin interaction. If it does exist, this exotic new force would connect matter at Earth's surface with matter hundreds or even thousands of kilometers below, deep in Earth's mantle. In other words, the building blocks of atoms -- electrons, protons, and neutrons -- separated over vast distances would "feel" each other's presence. The way these particles interact could provide new information about the composition and characteristics of the mantle, which is poorly understood because of its inaccessibility.

"The most rewarding and surprising thing about this project was realizing that particle physics could actually be used to study the deep Earth," says Jung-Fu "Afu" Lin, associate professor at The University of Texas at Austin's Jackson School of Geosciences and co-author of the study appearing this week in the journal Science.

This new force could help settle a scientific quandary. When earth scientists have tried to model how factors such as iron concentration and physical and chemical properties of matter vary with depth -- for example, using the way earthquake rumbles travel through Earth or through laboratory experiments designed to mimic the intense temperatures and pressures of the deep Earth -- they get different answers. The fifth force, assuming it exists, might help reconcile these conflicting lines of evidence.

Earth's mantle is a thick geological layer sandwiched between the thin outer crust and central core, made up mostly of iron-bearing minerals. The atoms in these minerals and the subatomic particles making up the atoms have a property called spin. Spin can be thought of as an arrow that points in a particular direction. It is thought that Earth's magnetic field causes some of the electrons in these mantle minerals to become slightly spin-polarized, meaning the directions in which they spin are no longer completely random, but have some preferred orientation. These electrons have been dubbed geoelectrons.

The goal with this project was to see whether the scientists could use the proposed long-range spin-spin interaction to detect the presence of these distant geoelectrons.

The researchers, led by Larry Hunter, professor of physics at Amherst College, first created a computer model of Earth's interior to map the expected densities and spin directions of geoelectrons. The model was based in part on insights gained from Lin's laboratory experiments that measure electron spins in minerals at the high temperatures and pressures of Earth's interior. This map gave the researchers clues about the strength and orientations of interactions they might expect to detect in their specific laboratory location in Amherst, Mass.

Second, the researchers used a specially designed apparatus to search for interactions between geoelectrons deep in the mantle and subatomic particles at Earth's surface. The team's experiments essentially explored whether the spins of electrons, neutrons or protons in various laboratories might have a different energy, depending on the direction with respect to Earth that they were pointing.

"We know, for example, that a magnet has a lower energy when it is oriented parallel to the geomagnetic field and it lines up with this particular direction -- that is how a compass works," explains Hunter. "Our experiments removed this magnetic interaction and looked to see if there might be some other interaction with our experimental spins. One interpretation of this 'other' interaction is that it could be a long-range interaction between the spins in our apparatus and the electron spins within the Earth, that have been aligned by the geomagnetic field. This is the long-range spin-spin interaction we were looking for."

Although the apparatus was not able to detect any such interactions, the researchers could at least infer that such interactions, if they exist, must be incredibly weak -- no more than a millionth of the strength of the gravitational attraction between the particles. That's useful information as scientists now look for ways to build ever more sensitive instruments to search for the elusive fifth force.

"No one had previously thought about the possible interactions that might occur between the Earth's spin-polarized electrons and precision laboratory spin-measurements," says Hunter.

"If the long-range spin-spin interactions are discovered in future experiments, geoscientists can eventually use such information to reliably understand the geochemistry and geophysics of the planet's interior," says Lin.

Funding for this research was contributed by the National Science Foundation (grants PHY-0855465, PHY-1205824, EAR-1056670 and EAR-1053446), the Department of Energy's Center for Energy Frontier Research in Extreme Environments (EFree), and the Carnegie/DOE Alliance Center (CDAC).

Cheap Auto Insurance Online & The Used Car Market Series | IFA ...

IFA?s Used Car Market Series #5: Where To Sell A Used Car

It has become increasingly more common for policyholders of cheap auto insurance onlineto save money in multiple ways.? Besides selecting low-cost insurance companies in NJ, MD and PA for insurance savings, when it?s time to get rid of an older vehicle, many people are selling cars privately instead of trading them in for a newer model.? Selling a used car on your own can even be a great way to earn extra cash if you?ve already bought a new one.? And nearly always, you can sell a used vehicle for more than what a dealer would typically offer as a trade-in.

Selling Outlets and Options?

Not that long ago people posted ?for sale? signs on a side window while driving their vehicle around town.? Sometimes, people have even displayed their used car for sale at a high-traffic area or near an intersection.? This method remains a great way to sell a used car, although it may have less audience, depending on which city you live in.? In addition, there are other ways to reach a large car-buying audience, the most notable being the internet.? After all, individuals who have bought cheap auto insurance online are already internet savvy and listing your car for sale online can reach thousands of potential buyers.

Commonly Used Online Sources?

• Craigslist: From castles to cars, people are buying and selling an enormous amount of items on Craigslist.? They receive, at minimum, 40 million hits a month, with some areas having a massive amount of online traffic.? Consequently, Craigslist is an excellent place to post a used car for sale and it is free.? All you have to do is establish an account, list your car, including pictures, and post it.? Backpage.com is another excellent online source for used car sellers, though there may be others in your community as well.
• eBay Motors:? eBay Motors is another great place to sell your used vehicle.? By posting your car at this auction site, you can reach a nationwide buying audience, even a global one.? It is particularly beneficial if you have a rare or vintage automobile to sell.? When you use eBay?s reserve option, you control the price limit that guarantees you won?t lose money.? Even paying a listing fee and a profit percentage to eBay, they remain an ideal outlet when selling a used car.
• Auto Trader: This site is dedicated to buying and selling all things automotive, specifically cars and trucks.? Similar to eBay, sellers will have to pay a small listing fee.? Unlike eBay, however, you will not have to pay Auto Trader a percentage of profits earned from the sale of the car.
• Your Local Paper:? Listing your car for sale both in the print version and online version of your local paper is another excellent source for selling your used vehicle.? Each publication determines fees for sellers, though they are usually quite modest.

France Telecom fourth quarter earnings slow on price war

PARIS (Reuters) - France Telecom saw a slowdown in sales and profit in the fourth quarter because of a continued shakeout of its home market spurred by an aggressive low-cost mobile challenger.

Revenue in the fourth quarter fell 3.2 percent to 10.92 billion euros (9.45 billion pounds) on a comparable basis, hit by weakness in France and Poland, the company said on Wednesday.

Restated earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) fell 8.8 percent to 3.13 billion euros for a margin of 28.7 percent versus 30.4 percent a year ago.

Europe's fourth-largest telecom operator by revenue also posted 7.97 billion euros in operating cash flow in 2012, just short of its 8 billion target.

It maintained an earlier goal of hitting operating cash flow above 7 billion euros this year, but acknowledged that the price war in France was not abating as it had hoped.

"We are less optimistic about the end of the price war in France now than we were a few months ago," said Chief Financial Officer Gervais Pellissier. "The pressure on prices will be worse in 2013 than we thought."

Pellissier added that the group nevertheless maintained its objective to return to growth of operating cash flow in 2014, but more by focusing on cost cuts than relying on the stabilisation of sales in France.

World stocks muted ahead of US return from holiday

BANGKOK (AP) ? World stock markets were muted Tuesday, with Asian shares slightly lower after investors drew profits from recent rallies. European markets opened higher a day after the German central bank said the country will likely avoid recession.

The Bundesbank said in its monthly report Monday that the country should avoid recession since it is showing signs of growth so far this year. Europe's largest economy shrank 0.6 percent in the last quarter of 2012. Two straight quarters of falling output is a common definition of recession.

Britain's FTSE 100 rose 0.2 percent to 6,332.39. Germany's DAX advanced 0.5 percent to 7,666.67. France's CAC-40 added 0.6 percent to 3,688.11.

Wall Street appeared headed for a higher open after a three-day holiday weekend. Dow Jones industrial futures gained nearly 0.1 percent to 13,957 and S&P 500 futures rose marginally to 1,517.70.

In Japan, investors went for profits following Monday's strong gains. The Nikkei 225 index fell 0.3 percent to 11,372.34.

Some investors remained on the sidelines, waiting for Japan to announce the next head of its central bank to replace Bank of Japan Gov. Masaaki Shirikawa, who will leave the post in April. Analysts at DBS Bank in Singapore said they expect an announcement before Prime Minister Shinzo Abe meets President Barack Obama on Feb. 22 in Washington.

Abe, elected on promises of bold action to ignite the moribund Japanese economy, is likely to appoint someone with views in line with the program he is championing. One element of the program includes a target of 2 percent inflation to reverse two decades of falling prices, which hurts growth. He also favors a weaker yen.

Japanese stocks have soared in recent weeks as the yen has fallen in anticipation of steps that would push the currency lower.

South Korea's Kospi rose 0.1 percent to 1,985.83. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 added 0.4 percent to 5,081.90.

Hong Kong's Hang Seng index dropped 1 percent to 23,143.91, as traders cashed in shares that have posted sizeable gains in recent weeks, such as gambling stocks. Sands China plunged 4.4 percent. SJM Holdings plummeted 5.3 percent.

"Markets already had very strong cumulative gains, so in the absence of an incentive, the market seems to be undergoing a correction or consolidation," said Kwong Man Bun, the chief operating officer at KGI Securities in Hong Kong.

Mainland Chinese shares lost ground, with the Shanghai Composite Index down 1.6 percent at 2,382.91. The smaller Shenzhen Composite Index lost 1.9 percent to 951.71. Shares in real estate and cement producers weakened.

"A rumor that there would be more policies to control real estate after the recent rise in housing sales led the market down," said Peng Yunliang, an analyst based in Shanghai.

Benchmark oil for March delivery was down 52 cents to $95.34 per barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

In currencies, the euro fell to $1.3352 from $1.3358 late Monday in Asia. The dollar fell to 93.62 yen from 94.05 yen.
