BEIRUT (AP) ? Iraq prevented a North Korean plane from entering its airspace on suspicion it was carrying weapons for Syria, prompting praise from the U.S. on Friday but also demands for a ban of Iranian aircraft with similar suspect cargo.

Iraq's decision could potentially close a supply line for Syrian President Bashar Assad's embattled regime, which is fighting a civil war against rebels trying to topple him.

U.S. officials have accused Baghdad of allowing Iran ? like North Korea an ally of Syria ? to fly weapons to Syrian forces through Iraqi airspace, a charge Iraq has denied.

"We urge the government of Iraq to take additional steps to prevent others, including Iran, from abusing its airspace by shipping arms to Syria," U.S. State Department spokesman Michael Lavallee said, calling the move to ban the North Korean flight a "positive step."

Syria's conflict has reached in a bloody stalemate, with neither side able to deliver a knockout blow, while the international community has failed to come up with a plan for ending the violence. Activists on Friday raised the number of people killed in the past 18 months to nearly 30,000. Daily tolls have been rising in recent weeks, with the regime attacking from the air and some rebels using heavy weapons.

The new U.N.-Arab League envoy to Syria, who started his job three weeks ago, said Friday he is not in a rush to devise a new roadmap to peace after his predecessor, former U.N. chief Kofi Annan, failed to get his proposal implemented. "Following the failure of Kofi Annan's six-point plan, I don't think we are capable of withstanding another failure," Lakhdar Brahimi told the Al Arabiya TV station.

Assad, meanwhile, was adamant that the rebels "will not succeed." In comments published Friday, he also said a foreign military intervention such as the one that helped topple Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi will "not be repeated" in Syria.

Both sides have foreign backers. Assad's allies include Russia and China, along with Iran and North Korea, while the rebels are supported by the U.S. and Western allies, Turkey and several Gulf states, such as Qatar and Saudi Arabia.

On Wednesday, the U.S. Treasury Department identified 117 Iranian aircraft it said were ferrying weapons to the Syrian regime. The department said the planes were delivering weapons and Iranian forces under the cover of "humanitarian" shipments.

Iraq has accepted Iranian assurances that it is not using Iraqi airspace to smuggle weapons into Syria, the Obama administration's choice for ambassador to Iraq, R. Stephen Beecroft, said earlier this week.

Iraq's ban of the North Korean flight came on Thursday, after Pyongyang requested to fly a plane to Syria through Iraqi skies. Government spokesman Ali al-Moussawi confirmed the move a day later, saying it was made over suspicion the plane carried weapons.

Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, an ally of Iran, has denied that he is allowing weapons trafficking and has said Baghdad will remain neutral in the Syria conflict. Iraq rejects "any arming activities through Iraqi territories or skies," al-Maliki said Friday.

The issue has been an enduring sore point between Baghdad and Washington, raised again in a phone call Friday between al-Maliki and U.S. Vice President Joe Biden. The vice president spoke of the need "to prevent any state from taking advantage of Iraq's territory or air space to send weapons to Syria," the White House said.

Meanwhile in Damascus, Assad lashed out at Gulf countries, which he accused of using their enormous oil wealth to try to drive him from power. He singled out Saudi Arabia and Qatar, among his most vocal critics.

"They think their money can buy geography, history and a regional role," Assad was quoted as saying in the Egyptian weekly Al-Ahram Al-Arabi.

"They are giving terrorists weapons and money with hope of repeating the Libyan model," he added. "Instead of helping regional stability, they are supplying armed elements with weapons and training in order to weaken the Syrian state."

The upheaval in Syria presents an opportunity for the Gulf's Sunni rulers to bolster their influence and possibly leave Shiite powerhouse Iran without its critical alliances that flow through Damascus. Assad's regime is led by the minority Alawite sect, an offshoot of Shiite Islam.

Syrian Information Minister Omran al-Zoebi later told state-run TV that the president had received nine Egyptian journalists and had a chat with them about the latest developments. The minister said none of the journalists took notes as the meeting was considered a "personal visit," but a reporter for Al-Ahram Al-Arabi published some of what was said.

In the meeting with the Egyptian journalists, Assad was also quoted as saying that the only way to solve the Syrian crisis is through "dialogue with the opposition" and that the "door for dialogue is open."

Most Syrian opposition groups reject any talks with the regime, saying they will not accept anything less than Assad's departure from power and the dissolving of his regime's security agencies.

One of the opposition groups, the National Coordination Body for Democratic Change in Syria, on Friday accused the regime of being behind the disappearance of two of its leaders.

Abdul-Aziz al-Kheir and Ayas Ayyash were expected to take part in a conference Sunday in Damascus by some 20 Syrian groups that are calling for Assad to step down. But they disappeared Thursday along with a friend who had picked them up at Damascus International Airport, the group said.

The group's head, Hassan Abdul-Azim, said the regime was believed to be behind the disappearance. The state-run news agency SANA quoted the Interior Ministry as saying "terrorist groups" kidnapped the three, and that a search has been launched.

Abdul-Azim said the opposition wants a "new regime that represents the will of the people." He said his group will go ahead with the conference. The gathering will invite European ambassadors and envoys from China and Russia. Openly disparaging the regime has always been taboo and fraught with danger in Syria, although some have grown emboldened because of the uprising.

Also Friday, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said nearly 30,000 Syrians have been killed during the conflict. The Observatory's count includes 20,935 civilians; 1,153 army defectors fighting alongside the rebels; and 7,141 Syrian troops fighting for the Assad regime ? which gives a total of 29,229, said the head of the group, Rami Abdul-Rahman.

The list is compiled from reports by witnesses and medical staff, he said, adding that he only includes those identified by name or whose death was authenticated by amateur video. The Syrian military rarely releases figures on troops killed.

Another Syrian opposition group, the Local Coordination Committees, put the overall death toll at 26,405. However, its count does not include Syrian troops killed in battle. The LCC relies on a network of activists in Syria to collect its information.

Activists and pro-government media reported fighting in several locations on Friday, including Syria's largest city, Aleppo, and in the capital Damascus. The state-run news agency SANA said government troops retook the Damascus suburb of al-Hajar al-Aswad.

SANA also said troops found a mass grave containing 25 blindfolded and handcuffed bodies in the al-Qadam suburb of the city. The agency said the dead were people who had been seized by rebels.

The Observatory said 57 civilians were killed across Syria on Friday, including several children who died in regime shelling attacks. The group said 28 Syrian soldiers were also killed.

Edward Hopper painting heads to NYC auction

This undated photo provided by Christie's shows a painting of a Cape Cod autumn scene by Edward Hopper. The large-scale painting is coming to auction in New York City and is expected to sell for $8 million to $10 million when it is put up for sale by Christie's on Nov. 28. (AP Photo/Christie's)

NEW YORK (AP) ? An oil painting of a Cape Cod autumn scene by Edward Hopper ? one of the last paintings by the American artist remaining in private hands ? will be offered for sale in November for a pre-sale estimate of $8 million to $12 million, Christie's auction house said Thursday.

"October on Cape Cod" will be sold on Nov. 28 as part of Christie's American paintings sale, and will coincide with a major retrospective of Hopper's work at the National Galleries of the Grand Palais in Paris, opening in October.

"He's widely considered one of the greatest early modern American artists. His oils are very rare on the market" since most are in major museum collections, said Elizabeth Sterling, Christie's head of American Art. "It's one of the most important American modern pictures to come on the auction market in the past decade."

Hopper's "Hotel Window" currently holds the record for the artist. It sold for $26.8 million in 2006 at Sotheby's.

Christie's noted that painting had a pre-sale estimate of $10 million to $15 million.

She said "October on Cape Cod" had "tremendous potential" to go over the estimate given that Hopper was not very prolific in oil medium and created one or two works in oil and watercolor a year," said Sterling. "The auction market for American modernism is quite strong."

It is being sold by a private American collector who has owned it for more than a decade.

"It's dated 1946 and the 40s are widely considered his most successful decade. Also it's a desirable subject," added Sterling.

Hopper had a home and studio on Cape Cod and he spent most of his summers on there after 1930. He died in 1967.

The large-scale painting shows a house and small barn from across a road as it might be observed from a passing vehicle. Hopper drove all over the Massachusetts peninsula, frequently drawing and painting from inside his car. It captures the stillness and solitude of Cape Cod out of season.

His paintings are permeated by a sense of isolation and have characteristics of a suspended narrative," which you definitely see in this picture," said Sterling.

It will be exhibited in Hong Kong on Oct. 4-6; Paris on Oct. 16-17; and New York on Nov. 24-27.

Like a spring in a toy car: Catalysis mechanism of cell growth protein Ras clarified

ScienceDaily (Sep. 18, 2012) ? Proteins accelerate certain chemical reactions in cells by several orders of magnitude. The molecular mechanism by which the Ras protein accelerates the cleavage of the molecule GTP and thus slows cell growth is described by biophysicists at the Ruhr-Universit?t Bochum led by Prof. Dr. Klaus Gerwert in the Online Early Edition of the journal PNAS. Using a combination of infrared spectroscopy and computer simulations, they showed that Ras puts a phosphate chain under tension to such an extent that a phosphate group can very easily detach -- the brake for cell growth. Mutated Ras is involved in tumour formation, because this reaction slows down and the brake for cell growth fails.

"Our findings could help to develop small molecules that restore the Ras proteins to the right speed," says Prof. Gerwert. "Such molecules would then be interesting for molecular cancer therapy."

On/off: the Ras code

The Ras protein switches the cell growth off by detaching a phosphate group from the small bound guanosine triphosphate, GTP for short. GTP has three interlinked phosphate groups. If it is present in water, the third phosphate group can split off spontaneously -- even without the help of the protein Ras. This process is very slow though. Ras accelerates the splitting by a magnitude of five, a second protein, called GAP, by a further magnitude of five. What causes this acceleration has now been found out by the Bochum team.

How Ras spans the phosphate chain

Ras brings the chain of three phosphate groups at the GTP into a certain shape. It turns the third and second phosphate group to each other so that the chain is tensioned. "Like winding up a spring in a toy car by turning a screw," explains Prof. Gerwert. "Ras is the screw, the phosphate groups form the spring." The protein GAP tensions the spring further by also turning the first phosphate group against the second. In this way, the GTP gets into such a high-energy state that the third phosphate group can easily detach from the chain -- like when the toy car drives off spontaneously after winding up the spring.

Infrared spectroscopy: high resolution, but only to be interpreted indirectly

The results were obtained by the Bochum researchers using the time-resolved fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) developed at the Institute of Biophysics. With this technique, the scientists track reactions and interactions of proteins with high spatial and temporal resolution; much more precisely than using a microscope. "However, the spectroscopy does not deliver such nice pictures as a microscope, but only very complex infrared spectra," explains PD Dr. Carsten K?tting. "Like a secret code that has to be deciphered."

Quantum chemical simulations

To this end, Till Rudack simulated the protein responses on modern computing clusters and calculated the corresponding infrared spectra. Due to the enormous computational effort, large molecules such as a complete protein cannot currently be reliably described using these so-called quantum mechanical simulations. Therefore, the researchers limited their analysis to GTP and the part of the Ras or GAP protein that interacts directly with GTP. They described the rest of the proteins with a less elaborate molecular dynamics simulation. "When bringing together all the different simulations, it is easy to be led astray," says Till Rudack. "Therefore you have to check the quality of the results by comparing the simulated with the measured infrared spectra." If the spectra obtained with both techniques match, the structure of proteins can be determined to an accuracy of a millionth of a micrometre. This was the case in the Bochum study.

Potential uses for cancer therapy

Molecular cancer therapy is already used successfully with diseases such as chronic myeloid leukemia (CLM) in the form of the drug Gleevec. Molecules with a similar effect against the mutated Ras protein have not yet been found. "Since we are now able to investigate the reactions of the Ras protein with significantly better resolution, new hope is forming that it will be possible to defuse the mutated molecule using drugs such as Gleevec and restore the rhythm of the cell" says Gerwert.

Trying to recover, Romney says he is poor Americans' best bet

ATLANTA (Reuters) - Mitt Romney said on Wednesday he would do a better job of helping the poor than President Barack Obama as the Republican tried to recover from a secret video that showed him dismissing nearly half the electorate as dependent on government help.

Romney has sought to make the November 6 election a referendum on Obama's economic stewardship, but over the past week the spotlight has been fixed firmly on his own missteps - most recently a video that shows him writing off Obama supporters.

Romney hopes to recover by framing the presidential election as a choice between big government and economic growth. At an Atlanta fundraiser, Romney said he wants to spur job creation by encouraging private enterprise.

"The question in this campaign is not who cares about the poor and the middle class. I do, he does," Romney said, jabbing the podium with his index finger and his voice rising with emotion.

"The question is who can help the poor and the middle class. I can, he can't and he's proven it in four years," he said.

Romney's campaign argues that Obama has presided over a stagnant economy, forcing more Americans to rely on food stamps and other government assistance.

The video, recorded in May at a luxurious Florida home, shows Romney telling wealthy campaign donors that 47 percent of Americans will back Obama no matter what. "I'll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives," he says.

The remarks fed into a perception that multimillionaire Romney has battled throughout the campaign: that he is insensitive to the struggles of less-wealthy Americans. They drew condemnation from Democrats and an array of Republicans, including congressional candidates and conservative columnists.

In an apparent attempt to deflect attention from the video, Republicans are pointing to a recording that surfaced this week of Obama discussing his belief in "a certain level" of wealth distribution.

"Mitt Romney and I are not running to redistribute the wealth. Mitt Romney and I are running to help Americans create wealth," Romney's vice-presidential running mate Paul Ryan said at a campaign event in Danville, Virginia.

Romney had hoped to spend the week fleshing out his plan to bolster the economy until the video went viral on Monday and pushed the campaign into damage-control mode. It came on the heels of a Politico report about dysfunction in his campaign and a statement on strife in the Middle East that was widely criticized as unstatesmanlike.

REPUBLICAN ANGST

Republicans worry that their presidential candidate may not be able to recover in the seven weeks before the election.

"There is a broad and growing feeling now, among Republicans, that this thing is slipping out of Romney's hands," Wall Street Journal editorial writer Peggy Noonan wrote in a blog post. "It's time to admit the Romney campaign is an incompetent one."

A Reuters/Ipsos daily tracking poll showed Obama leading Romney 48 percent to 43 percent among likely voters. Among all registered voters, Obama led 49 percent to 38 percent.

Romney already faced a more difficult path to victory as he can count on fewer sure wins among the 51 state contests that determine the outcome of the election. Across the handful of states that remain competitive, Obama holds an advantage of 48 percent to 46 percent, according to a USA Today/Gallup poll.

Most polls have yet to reflect fallout from Romney's comments, which were released by the liberal magazine Mother Jones.

In the video, Romney gave voice to a conservative preoccupation that the expansion of income-tax breaks and the growing reach of government benefit programs risk dividing the country into "makers" and "takers."

Romney lumped all Obama supporters into the latter group.

Romney was referring to the 46 percent of U.S. households that paid no income taxes last year and the 49 percent that received some form of government benefit, from housing assistance to Social Security pensions. Those two groups include many Republican voters whose support Romney will need to win the White House.

Judge: Police to enforce Arizona immigration law

PHOENIX?? A judge has ruled that police in Arizona can immediately start enforcing the most contentious section of the state's immigration law, marking the first time officers can carry out a requirement that officers, while enforcing other laws, question the immigration status of those suspected of being in the country illegally.

5. Israeli PM tries to strike more neutral pose in U.S. election
6. One year later, what ever happened to Occupy Wall Street?
7. Hotel prices, air fares fly up

The decision on Tuesday by U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton is the latest milestone in a two-year legal battle over the requirement. It culminated in a U.S. Supreme Court decision in June that upheld the provision on the grounds that it doesn't conflict with federal law.

Story: Judge OKs Arizona's show-me-your-papers law

Opponents who call the requirement the "show me your papers" provision responded to the Supreme Court decision by asking Bolton to block the requirement on different grounds, arguing that it would lead to systematic racial profiling and unreasonably long detentions of Latinos if? enforced.

Other less controversial parts of the law have been in effect since July 2010, such as minor changes to the state's 2005 immigrant smuggling law and a ban on state and local government agencies from restricting the enforcement of federal immigration law. But those provisions have gotten little, if any, use since they were put into effect.

Story: Hundreds in Phoenix march against Arizona immigration law

Arizona's law was passed in 2010 amid voter frustration with the state's role as the busiest illegal entry point into the country. Five states ? Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, South Carolina and Utah ? have adopted variations on Arizona's law.

Despite the decision that lets Arizona's questioning requirement take effect, some backers of the law questioned the level of cooperation they will get from federal immigration agents, who will be called to verify people's immigration status and be responsible for picking up illegal immigrants from local officers.

High court strikes down parts of Ariz. immigration law

Federal immigration officers have said they will help, but only if doing so conforms to their priorities, including catching repeat violators and identifying and removing those who threaten public safety and national security.

If federal agents decline to pick up illegal immigrants, local officers in some cases will likely have to let them go unless they're suspected of committing a crime that would require them to be brought to jail.

Video: Brewer: 'Heart' of immigration law proven constitutional

To the supporters of Arizona's law, the questioning requirement was the most salient part of the statute, whose stated purpose was to make attrition through enforcement the state's immigration policy. Immigrant rights groups believe the requirement presented the most opportunities for civil rights abuses.

Among the opponents of the law was the Obama administration, which filed a challenge that led to the most controversial parts of the statute being put on hold.

Shortly before the law was to take effect in July 2010, Bolton prevented police from enforcing the questioning requirement and other parts of the statute, ruling the Obama administration would likely succeed in showing federal law trumps the state law.

Gov. Jan Brewer, who signed the measure into law, appealed the ruling, lost at the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals and took her case to the Supreme Court. The Obama administration failed to persuade the nation's highest court to strike down the questioning requirement on the argument that federal law trumps the state law.

A coalition of civil rights, religious and business groups then asked Bolton in July to prevent police from enforcing the questioning requirement. They offered different reasons in trying to put the brakes on the provision.

This time, the opponents sought to block the provision by arguing that Latinos in Arizona would face systematic racial profiling and unreasonably long detentions if that section is enforced.

Lawyers for Brewer urged the judge to let the requirement go into effect. They argued that the law's opponents were merely speculating in their racial profiling claims, that police have received training to avoid discriminatory practices and that officers must have "reasonable suspicion" that a person is in the country illegally to trigger the requirement.

Bolton denied the coalition's request on Sept. 5.

What does a fighter look like? (PHOTOS)

I've often heard the phrase, "He/she doesn't look like a fighter!" This comes up especially before women's fights, when Ronda Rousey's cover girl looks are cited as a reason to be shocked that she can rip your arm off. I hear it about Georges St-Pierre, who could easily find another career on a runway. UFC president Dana White brought it up recently when he criticized Roy Nelson's mullet, beard and belly.

But the thing about MMA is that outside making weight the day before a fight and passing a ton of medical tests, there are no physical requirements to step in a cage. While fighters look like this:

They also look like this:

They come in sizes large:

and small:

They are from all over the world and represent every color in the rainbow.

And yes, Dana, sometimes they even look like this.

There is no one way to look, act or sound like a fighter. The diversity within mixed martial arts is something to be celebrated, not criticized.

Everton, Newcastle draw 2-2 in Premier League

Associated Press Sports

updated 7:21 p.m. ET Sept. 17, 2012

LIVERPOOL, England (AP) - Everton was held to a 2-2 draw by Newcastle in the Premier League on Monday after having a goal disallowed despite the ball appearing to cross the line before being cleared.

The score was 1-1 when Everton forward Victor Anichebe's header hit the underside of the crossbar and the ball seemingly dropped over the line before defender Mike Williamson kicked it away in the 78th minute.

"It's a difficult call, but if you're a linesman on the goal line you would hope you would see if the ball goes over the line - that's your job," Everton manager David Moyes said.

Anichebe looked to have rendered the decision meaningless when he made it 2-1 in the 88th, but second-half Newcastle replacement Demba Ba scored the second of his two goals less than 2 minutes later.

"It was good to get a draw because it was difficult," Ba said. "Last season here it was very difficult, and tonight the first half was the same. But the second half was very different."

Ba scored in the 49th to cancel out Everton defender Leighton Baines' 15th-minute opener.

MADRID (AP) - A late error by Valladolid goalkeeper Jaime Jimenez gave Real Betis a 1-0 road victory in the Spanish league Monday.

Jimenez let an easy ball slip from his grasp in the 89th minute, allowing Betis striker Ruben Castro to take advantage for the late winner.

It was Betis' first match in three weeks because of the international break, plus its game against Atletico Madrid being rescheduled because of the European Super Cup.

Valladolid endured a second straight loss after starting the season with two victories.

Betis is six points behind leader Barcelona.

Merkel insists bank supervision must not be rushed

BERLIN (AP) ? German Chancellor Angela Merkel is digging in her heels on plans for a new European banking supervisor, insisting Monday that they must not be rushed and that she sees no need for joint European deposit insurance.

Creating a banking supervisor is a key part of Europe's attempts to end its three-year debt crisis, partly because it has to be in place before other measures can be considered.

These include a Europe-wide deposit insurance scheme; a single method for winding down bankrupt banks; and allowing the European bailout fund to directly help banks in trouble, relieving the financial risk such rescues to individual states.

But the European Commission, the EU's executive, has irked Berlin with plans to have the new supervisor oversee every bank in the eurozone, rather than just the biggest, and to have it start work at the beginning of 2013.

"If it's Sept. 15 today and we're just starting the discussion, it is relatively unlikely that, on Jan. 1, a functioning authority will be standing where we don't even have a decision on the building plans," Merkel said at her annual summer news conference.

"What has always hurt us in Europe, particularly with the financial markets, is when we have made announcements that in the end couldn't be implemented," she insisted. "This must take the time needed to secure good quality."

Merkel cautioned against rushing the process simply to hasten the day when struggling banks will be able to get aid directly from the ?500 billion ($656 billion) bailout fund, the European Stability Mechanism.

She insisted that Europe must keep to its agreement that the new supervisory system be put in place before the ESM is allowed to help banks directly? "that is the sequence and it is indispensable to keep to it."

Merkel also balked at the idea of a region-wide depositors' insurance plan. Germany's public-sector savings banks and cooperative banks have urged her to block it, arguing it would come at their expense.

The chancellor said she favors harmonizing deposit insurance standards, but "the question of a common deposit insurance does not arise for me, so we don't need to discuss it at the moment."

Asian stocks pause as Fed measures boost fades

HONG KONG (AP) ? Asian stocks were muted Monday as the boost faded from the Federal Reserve's announcement last week of new measures to energize the U.S. economy.

Oil rose while the dollar remained near a four-month low versus the euro as investors bet that the Fed's plan to keep interest rates low and spend billions buying securities would result in better returns on commodities.

Hong Kong's Hang Seng was down 0.1 percent at 20,603.00 and South Korea's Kospi slipped 0.4 percent to 1,999.44.

Australia's S&P/ASX 200 edged 0.1 percent higher to 4,395.00. Mainland China's Shanghai Composite Index fell 0.8 percent to 2,095.48.

Benchmarks in Singapore, Taiwan and New Zealand rose. Markets in Japan were closed for a holiday.

Global stock markets rallied late last week after the Fed announced it planned to buy $40 billion of mortgage bonds a month for as long as necessary as part of a strategy known as quantitative easing aimed at encouraging people to borrow money and spend it.

While investors were still in the mood to take on more risk, "the risk of profit taking has grown given the pace and magnitude of recent moves," strategists at Credit Agricole CIB said in a research note.

In the U.S. on Friday, the Dow 0.4 percent to close at 13,593.37. The broader Standard & Poor's 500 rose 0.4 percent 1,465.77. The Nasdaq composite index climbed 0.9 percent to 3,183.95.

Crude for October delivery was up 21 cents to $99.21 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract finished up 69 cents to $99 per barrel in New York on Friday.

In currencies, the euro rose to $1.3124 from $1.3117 late Friday. The dollar fell to 78.22 Japanese yen from 77.30 Japanese yen.

Say hello to a new way to sell your cellphone

13 hrs.

InnovationNewsDaily Staff

Been thinking of?upgrading to a new cellphone? You may be in luck. Almost 150 new, artificially intelligent kiosks that buy back people's old cellphones have been installed in malls in several U.S. states. Users get cash for their phones, while the unwanted devices get a second life, which keeps the phones' toxic metals out of landfills.?

EcoATM founder Mark Bowles came up with the idea after reading that only three percent of people worldwide have ever recycled a cellphone, he told InnovationNewsDaily. "I thought about my own case. Why didn't I do it?" he said. "I didn't know where to do it and I didn't have an incentive."?

EcoATM aims to answer both problems by putting recycling kiosks "in people's normal paths" and by giving people an alluring reward: "Immediate cash, on the spot," Bowles said.

To use an ecoATM machine, users place their unwanted devices on the machine's scanner. EcoATMs deploy computer vision and artificial intelligence to recognize more than 4,000 makes and models of phones, chargers and other accessories. The machines also assess damage to the devices, sorting them into one of eight categories of conditions. [Do-It-Yourself Cat Door Recognizes Your Feline]

From there, the computer system estimates a value for the device. Possible payouts range from $1 to $250, according to the ecoATM website. Users who want to go through with the trade choose either cash or store credit, or donate the value to one of several charities.?

On the other end of the trade, ecoATM has relationships with international companies that have pre-bid on phones in different conditions. Those partners resell phones in good condition, mostly to American customers, Bowles said. Three-quarters of the phones ecoATM processes are reused, according to the company. The other 25 percent are recycled for their precious metals and electronic components.

"The ecoATM project is an extremely innovative way to motivate the public with an incentive to do the right thing with discarded electronics, both socially and environmentally," Glenn Larsen, an officer who oversees National Science Foundation grants to ecoATM,?said in a statement.?The foundation has supported ecoATM with two grants for small businesses. EcoATM is otherwise funded by private investors.?

Getting a computer program to distinguish between phones was no easy feat, Bowles said. "A lot of these phones are just a dark sheet of glass that's a rectangle," he said. In addition, blemishes to the phones' screens, such as smudgy fingerprints and cracked glass, will look similar to a computer program, even though they mean very different things for the valuation of the phone, he explained.

To make its judgments, the ecoATM kiosk subjects each phone to a series of visual tests, lighting the phone in different ways. It also asks users to plug in their phones for an electronic evaluation, after automatically offering users the correct plug.

EcoATM's computer algorithms accurately recognize phone models and classify damage 97.5 percent of the time, according to the National Science Foundation. The algorithms are able to learn from mistakes, so that number may improve in the future. The company plans to continue researching how to improve accuracy.?

EcoATM's?kiosk locator?lists almost 150 locations in Washington, California, Colorado, Texas, Georgia and on the East Coast. The company plans to have 300 machines in place by the end of the year.

Kolb throws, runs for TDs as Cards top Pats 20-18

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) ? Stephen Gostkowski lay face down on the field after missing a shot at a winning field goal. On the sideline, Kevin Kolb and the Arizona Cardinals celebrated their victory.

The most accurate kicker in New England Patriots history sent a 42-yard attempt wide to the left on the next to last play ? after making three longer field goals ? and the Cardinals held on for a 20-18 win on Sunday.

"Nobody really gave us a chance," said Arizona coach Ken Whisenhunt, whose team was a two-touchdown underdog, "but our guys believed they could do it and it's great to see them operate that way."

Backup quarterback Kolb did his part by throwing for one touchdown and running for another. Arizona's defense contributed by sacking Tom Brady four times. And the special teams came through with a blocked punt that set up a touchdown.

"We knew what kind of game this was going to be," said Kolb, filling in for John Skelton, who sat out with a sprained right ankle. "We've been kind of stressing it all week, stay patient, don't get greedy."

The Patriots began their final possession after Vince Wilfork recovered a fumble by Ryan Williams at the Cardinals 30-yard line with 1:01 left. A 30-yard run into the end zone by Danny Woodhead was nullified by a holding penalty against Rob Gronkowski. New England then moved to the 24 before Tom Brady spiked the ball to stop the clock with 6 seconds remaining.

But Gostkowski sent his kick to the left, just as Billy Cundiff did facing the same goal post on a 32-yard attempt with 11 seconds left in the Patriots 23-20 AFC championship win over Baltimore last season. They visit the Ravens next Sunday.

"I had a chance to win and it came down to me and I didn't pull through, and it stinks," said Gostkowski, who had been 3-for-3 in his career on field goal attempts in the final two minutes with a chance to tie or win a game.

Coach Bill Belichick placed the blame on the entire team.

"There are a lot of things we could have done better today all the way around, all of us," he said. "Plenty of mistakes out there."

The Cardinals (2-0) have won nine of their last 11 games.

The Patriots (1-1) suffered a big loss when tight end Aaron Hernandez, their most versatile offensive player, hurt his right ankle in the first quarter. He left Gillette Stadium wearing a walking boot and carrying crutches. The Patriots gave no update on the injury.

"Aaron's in there almost every play," wide receiver Wes Welker said, "so it changes quite a bit."

Kolb overcame a shaky start and then threw a 2-yard touchdown pass to Andre Roberts 6 minutes into the third quarter after Quentin Groves blocked a punt. Then Kolb ran for a 5-yard score on the third play of the fourth as the Cardinals took a 20-9 lead.

"It's not like we played the perfect game. So, we have a lot to improve on," Kolb said. "If you can get those ugly wins checked off in the win column, that's big."

With the Patriots trailing 20-12 after Gostkowski's 53-yard field goal, Brady led his best drive of the game. He completed eight of 10 passes for 82 yards, capped by a 5-yard touchdown throw to Gronkowski, making it 20-18 with 2:06 left. But his pass to Gronkowski for a 2-point conversion was broken up by Kerry Rhodes.

The loss was the first in 11 home openers since the Patriots moved into Gillette Stadium in 2002. The Cardinals ended a five-game losing streak against the Patriots, beating them for the first time since Sept. 29, 1991.

The Patriots made numerous uncharacteristic mistakes. Patrick Peterson intercepted Brady on the Patriots' first offensive play and the Cardinals blocked a punt by Zoltan Mesko, the first time that happened to him in 122 punts as a pro.

That block gave Arizona the ball at the Patriots 2. After Williams ran for no gain and Kolb threw an incompletion, the quarterback hit Roberts on a quick slant for the touchdown.

The teams were tied at 6 after a lackluster half in which Jay Feely kicked field goals of 38 and 47 yards before Gostkowski tied it with kicks of 46 and 34 yards.

Brady completed 28 of 46 passes for 316 yards and extended his streak to 34 games with at least one touchdown pass, fourth-best in NFL history. But the Patriots were content to let Gostkowski try a 42-yarder at the end as Brady took a knee on two straight plays to run time off before spiking the ball.

"It's just a decision that coach (Belichick) makes," Brady said. "We shouldn't have been leaving it up to that particular situation. We were fortunate to get that defensive turnover there late. We just came up short."

Kolb completed 15 of 27 passes for 140 yards with one sack and no interceptions, and that was good enough to pull off the upset.

"Coming down here to get a W can definitely propel our season to the next level," Peterson said. "Some guys in the locker room described it as a statement game. But we'll have to wait and see what the rest of the season has for us."

NOTES: Welker became the Patriots all-time leading receiver with 562 catches after making five on Sunday. He began the day tied with Troy Brown at 557. ... Brown was honored at halftime after being named to the Patriots Hall of Fame. ... The Cardinals won despite being outgained 387 yards to 245. ... The Patriots held Larry Fitzgerald to one catch for 4 yards.

Reid Hoffman On Why Seed Startups Should Relax On The Business Model Talk [TCTV]

LinkedIn co-founder and Greylock partner Reid Hoffman has become known for giving solid advice -- both to the entrepreneurs in which he invests, as well as the general public with his recent book The Startup Of You. So when he came backstage at Disrupt SF earlier this week after his fireside chat with Michael Arrington, we just had to ask him: What is some bad advice that people often give to entrepreneurs that they should ignore?

Real Estate Investment ? Is It Better Than Network Marketing ...

For many years, buying an investment property has been seen as the way to a secure retirement. Once you get your mortgage under control, you use your savings to acquire additional property and rent it out to help cover the mortgage. Then property values rise, and a few years later you sell your investment home for a tidy profit.

Sounds Great, Doesn?t It?

Of course, in Australia, a $400,000 home will yield around $400 a week in rent. Let?s see. If you borrowed all the money, you would be earning $1,800 a month. You would pay $2,300 in interest on the loan, $150 a month in rates, plus 7% or $126 for agent?s fees, and maybe $100 a month for maintenance, providing your house isn?t trashed by bad tenants. Let?s see that makes a loss of $776 a month. I know, you can claim some of that on your tax, but you want an increase in value of 2.5% each year just to break even. Oh yes, don?t forget that entry and exit fees from purchasing and selling the property will set you back around $20,000 as well.

Real Estate Investment Is Risky Business

The reality is that this is high stakes gambling as many in the US and Europe have discovered in the last few years. We hear of the success stories, but not the hoards of people who lost their retirement income when it didn?t quite turn out the way that dark suited gentleman predicted. What if no one wants to rent your property? What if it is trashed? What if it remains empty for a few months? There is a commercial property near here that was but around 10 years ago and has never had a tenant. What happened to that poor investor? If the bank forecloses you will lose more than your investment ? much more!

The MLM Model

Here is a challenge. Many high flyers in MLM see it as a low risk, high return investment. It is true that you need a passion for the company and products you represent, but you don?t need $400,000 to get started! You are building an asset that you can sell at a later date. Your monthly outlay is typically a little more than $100 these days, and there is no other financial risk involved.

I made $400 in my third month with MLM, and within a year I was earning over $350 a week, simply by sharing my story and that of the products I represent. At the end of that year, with a small investment, and that monthly order which I could on sell, I was adding over $1,000 a month to my retirement fund. Not losing money as in Real Estate, but making it with minimal risk.

Which Would You Choose?

I make far more than $350 a week these days, and it doesn?t take that much effort to maintain it. My loyal band of distributors love the products we offer, and are busy building their extra $1,000 a month pin money. All this with minimal investment. The risk ? zero! Now when I have an extra $100,000 from my MLM income, sure I will look at investments. I just think that building an MLM on the side is a much sounder way than putting yourself in a position where you might lose your house or end up bankrupt.

So what would you choose, real estate investing or network marketing? Just so you know, both fields are really risky. However, if you pick real estate investing, then you should know that you are more likely to lose more than you would have earned in network marketing. Starting one?s own business in network marketing is relatively easier too because network marketers don?t have to pay big bucks to start.

The Consumerist ? State Insurance Regulators Don't Always Have ...

Earlier this week, the Dept. of Health And Human Services announced that consumers had saved $1 billion thanks to a condition of the Affordable Care Act that requires state insurance authorities to review health insurance premium increases of at least 10%. But in some states, those reviews are merely a formality that have no ability to rein in insurance premiums.

California is one of the 13 states where these mandated rate reviews are not binding.

?At the end of the day, the companies can tell us to pound sand,? the California insurance commissioner tells MarketWatch. ?It?s very frustrating. Frankly, our hands are tied behind our back.?

In April, the commissioner's review of Aetna's small-employer rate hikes -- ranging anywhere from 8% to 21% -- were unreasonable, which didn't seem to matter to the insurance company as it moved forward with the increases.

?I have no authority to actually enforce a reasonable rate here,? explained the commissioner, as he presumably started his day pushing a boulder up a hill. ?At the end of the day, the health insurers and HMOs have the ability to set the rates wherever they see fit.?

The commissioner says that he's only be able to achieve even "modest moderation" of insurance rates in fewer than half the cases he deemed excessive.

If the authority of these reviews is not uniformly set, this allows insurance companies to make up for nixed rate hikes in one state by simply raising rates in a state where the review is not binding.

For some reason, HHS thinks that consumers in these states aren't at risked for being screwed. From MarketWatch:

[HHS] says that if carriers implement increases that fly in the face of the department?s or a state?s findings, they must publicly disclose their reasoning for raising the rates, which should help consumers make more informed choices when selecting health plans. ?By shining a spotlight on unreasonable rate increases, the Affordable Care Act will bring unprecedented transparency to the insurance marketplace,? the HHS said in a statement.

These reviews currently only affect individual and small-group policies, which is a minority of insured consumers. However, they are going to become more important when the Affordable Care Act requirement for all Americans to have some sort of insurance kicks in.

Health insurers hike rates, ignore government [MarketWatch]

Looking at you: Face genes identified

Friday, September 14, 2012

Monozygotic twins have almost identical faces and siblings usually have more similar faces than unrelated people, implying that genes play a major role in the appearance of the human face. However, almost nothing is known about the genes responsible for facial morphology in humans.

This study, carried out on behalf of the International Visible Trait Genetics (VisiGen) Consortium, used head magnetic resonance images together with portrait photographs to map facial landmarks, from which facial distances were estimated. The researchers then applied a genome-wide association (GWA) approach, with independent replication, to finding DNA variants involved in facial shapes in almost 10,000 individuals.

Three of the five genes identified have been implicated previously by other approaches in vertebrate craniofacial development and disease; of these three, one was reported to be involved in facial morphology in a GWA study on children published earlier this year. The remaining two genes potentially represent completely new players in the molecular networks governing facial development.

Professor Manfred Kayser from the Erasmus University Medical Center, Rotterdam, The Netherlands, the leading author of the study, said: "These are exciting first results that mark the beginning of the genetic understanding of human facial morphology. Perhaps some time it will be possible to draw a phantom portrait of a person solely from his or her DNA left behind, which provides interesting applications such as in forensics. We already can predict from DNA certain eye and hair colours with quite high accuracies."

Great Information On How To Lose Weight | reflexvision.net

You must first acknowledge that it is your own habits that have made you overweight. You should come to terms with this and forgive yourself for it. This will allow you to increase your level of motivation for your diet and exercise regimen. Don?t let your healthier self blame your harmful past. Just pity who you were and let that pity motivate you to keep going.

TIP! The more fat that you convert to muscle, the better your body will burn calories immediately following a workout. If you have more muscle mass on your body, you will have an easier time loosing weight without having to do a lot.

What?s your main reason for losing weight? Are you one of the many who wants to improve your appearance and overall health? If you?ve already resolved to lose weight, then only thing you need now is advice on how to accomplish this. There are some helpful tips in the following article that can help you achieve your goals.

If you stop eating red meat you will lose weight. Red meats are extremely high in cholesterol and saturated fats, both of which are terrible for your heart. Instead of red meat, opt for leaner meats such as tuna, turkey, chicken or other fish.

TIP! If you are trying to lose weight, it?s a good idea to purchase clothes at discount and thrift stores. As you lose weight you can sell the clothes you have outgrown and purchase more in a smaller size.

If you want to lose weight consistently and correctly, you should not eliminate any favorite food or food group from your daily diet. If you avoid a food that you love, it might give you bigger cravings, which might lead you to binge. This will cause you to add a lot more calories than eating in moderation.

Choose food that is low calorie but fills you up quickly. Try eating a salad or soup or some veggies with a small amount of calories that you can eat before the meal so you are less hungry. Drinking water prior to eating does the same thing.

Do not eat in the final three hours before sleeping, and make that meal low-carb and light on the stomach. You won?t wake up hungry at midnight if you do this.

TIP! Refrain from wearing loose fitting clothing during the course of the day. If you are overweight, you may want to distract yourself and others from the weight by wearing baggy or loose clothing.

A quick way to lose weight is to eliminate alcohol from your life. Drinking too much alcohol can hurt your efforts to lose weight. Most beverages containing alcohol have loads of calories. If you need to have a drink, try a low calorie one.

Get in shape by lifting weights and drinking a lot of water to stay hydrated. That is because stretch marks and loose skin cause problems for those who have lost a great deal of weight; these things can assist you in cutting down on these kinds of problems.

TIP! When you make plans to finally begin shedding pounds, talk it over with lots of people. You could even start a blog about your weight loss adventures ! This will help you stay on track because you will not want to disappoint the people who read it.

Green tea can be added to your nutrition plan both for losing weight, and cleaning your system. Besides water, green tea with no added sweeteners is among the healthiest beverages you can consume. Following these simple steps will help you begin to shed pounds.

You can improve your weight-loss results by pairing up meals with healthy physical activities. Do you like going on picnics? You should have it at a park that is close by so you can walk there. As time allows, including physical exercise in your mealtime routine will help you in the process of losing weight.

TIP! You will achieve the best weight loss when you determine what works best for you. If you like to be up early, resolve to get up a half hour earlier and get some exercise during that time.

If you are trying to lose weight, make a diet plan based on eating 2000 calories per day. Look at the ingredients in foods you purchase to make sure all essential nutrients are being consumed. If there are any deficiencies, you can either alter your diet or add a multivitamin.

Be sure to take a multivitamin each day when losing weight. When you diet, you can stop eating a lot of different foods, and in the process deprive yourself of essential nutrients. You will get the essential vitamins if you take a multivitamin.

Going for a run on the beach is an excellent way to shed excess pounds. Sand provides greater resistance and works your legs out harder than running on pavement.

You could illustrate the progress that you make easily by taking photos of yourself before and after you lose weight. By doing this, you can see for yourself just how much weight you have lost rather than simply seeing a number on a scale. If you are successful, you can show it off to friends and family.

TIP! Most people enjoy french fries. French fries are bad for those trying to lose weight.

Keep a journal for weight loss that you use daily to detail your intake of calories. When you are more conscious of your food choices, you are far more likely to make good ones. Watching what you eat is the best method of keeping unwanted pounds off.

For beginners of weight loss plans, it?s important to take things slowly. Start by making one or two small changes at a time. Getting rid of all your vices at once is a recipe for disaster.

TIP! When you go shopping for clothes, put on some clothes you want to purchase even if they aren?t affordable right now. This exercise can burn up to 60 calories alone, in an effort to lose as much weight as possible.

Losing weight doesn?t need to be hard. An initial step is to start eliminating foods high in sugar, fat and empty calories. The first step is to get rid of the high-calorie drinks and replace them with water. Sometimes you can drink low-sugar versions of juice drinks, but sodas should really stay off limits.

Losing weight is easy if you start a cardiovascular routine. For example, you can boost your heart rate by jogging, cycling or walking every day. As your heart rate increases so does the amount of fat you burn. Try to do cardio for three to four days a week, for 30 minutes at a time.

TIP! Maintaining a food journal is a great way to help you achieve your weight loss aspirations. Counting calories is not something you need to automatically do.

Pay attention to the nutritional labels on the food you eat for easier weight loss. Check how many calories there are in each serving. But be sure to calculate the number of calories in the actual size of the serving you eat, as opposed to the listed calories per single serving, which can be very different. The label tells you more than just calories though. Keep an eye on the sugar and carbohydrate levels as well.

Green tea can aid in weight loss and boost the metabolism. Try it with a small amount of honey or natural sweetener for extra flavor. Black tea is a beverage that can prove beneficial and will aid in your weight loss. The antioxidants in tea can strengthen the immune system and eliminate toxins from the body.

TIP! To encourage good eating habits and health, you should eat smaller meals throughout the day. Eating 5 or 6 small meals is far better than having 3 large meals.

This article should have made it clear that losing your excess weight and becoming healthy isn?t something that is beyond your reach. There will be nothing to stop you from losing weight so long as you follow our advice. Forget about any past failures. Keep your eye on the now, and turn these ideas into a sustainable weight-loss program. If you can drop a pound a week, you will look great in just 2 months!

Drink fewer caffeinated beverages. Your body?s ability to burn fat is greatly hampered by high consumption of caffeine.
