(AP) ? A new exhibition in London is putting the brain under a microscope ? literally.

"Brains: The Mind as Matter" asks not what brains have done for us but what, in the name of science, we have done to brains.

The brain has fascinated and baffled scientists for centuries. The exhibition, which opens Thursday at the Wellcome Collection, features mummified, desiccated, galvanized and pickled brains as it charts humanity's sometimes misguided attempts at scientific understanding.

Exhibits range from slices of Albert Einstein's brain to neurosurgery tools and artworks inspired by the contents of our skulls.

Curator Marius Kwint said Tuesday that it aims to show how, despite scientific advances, the brain remains "a complex and inscrutable substance."

Social Media Management for Health Care and Dental Providers ...

Internet users in the US conduct 5 billion searches every month directly on major search sites, and a recent Harris Interactive Poll reported that more than 80% of consumers now research health information online.

Imagine how many of those Internet users are actually prospective patients in your area looking for the services you offer, and the money you may be leaving on the table.

Social Media Management is going to revolutionize the way you use your website and how the internet will reach the clients your are giving away to your competition everyday-? saving you money and increasing ROI.

Consumers are shifting from more traditional types of media consumption to the internet, in this new online world. Every day, more seniors are using search engines and social media to research living options for their parents and themselves. A 2006 Pew Internet study found that 84% of people aged 50-64 reported using the internet for information gathering.

As this segment of the population continues to become more internet-savvy and more interested in learning about their options, your organization?s blog and social media sites will become an ever-increasingly critical part of doing business.

Building word of mouth, creating a referral pipeline, and providing proof of care are still the backbone of an effective marketing strategy. However, the dramatic change is how the public demand will effect the way you create this referral dialogue. The availability and the amazing functions of social media updates and smart phones have changed how the public expects to receive messages, and to stay in contact.

According to Deloitte data, 2009.? Baby Boomers are using social media in huge numbers; this age demographic was the fastest growing among Facebook users, with women 55+ leading the way (+175%) and men 55+ trailing just behind (+138%).

There are significant opportunities online to measure and improve the efficiency of your website visibility in the search engines, social media, and video sites.? Social media managers have developed a search engine marketing platform to optimize the sources that provide the best return on marketing spend by targeting your local online market. ?

Social Media is giving your business access to literally thousands of daily searchers, efforts that will produce the most profitable customers.? If you intended to raise the visibility of your website in the search engines and social media sites across a broad section of targeted keyword search phrases, find a social media management firm, let them do the work.

By providing content-rich media to the search engines, social media will position your health care business as a leading provider and expert in the field of dentistry or health care through the use of various internet marketing tools including:
??? ?Targeted Keyword Research
??? ?Video Marketing
??? ?Article Marketing
??? ?Social Media and Web 2.0 Properties

As a result, your agency presents an exclusive, branded look that routinely increases your visibility to the private care client segment and targeted referral sources.

The quality and volume of our media distribution will launch your dental or health care business onto the search engine results pages and rank them above the competition.? The goal of the social media management content distribution is to put your home health business on page one of Google? searches and to increase traffic and brand recognition within days from start date.

All of this is designed to increase client base and revenue without substantially increasing the advertising budget, while at the same time establishing your dental or health care business as the premier care provider. ?
Continued keyword targeting and social media maintenance will keep the website on page one of relevant searches while increasing the volume and range of keyword search phrases

You have a unique opportunity to get in front of the competition and position your business online, as the premier provider in your area.? Most of your competition does not understand the benefits of social media management.

By dominating social media and the search engine results pages, your business will gain exposure and market share that is now being left on the table. ?

Massive, rocket-powered, robotic craft begins delivery mission to space station

The 13-ton cargo freighter is loaded with about 7.2 tons of supplies, including food, water, clothing, experiments and fuel for the space station, according to NASA.

A huge robot European cargo ship launched to the International Space Station today (March 23), lighting up the night sky over the northeast coast of South America to begin a five-day journey to deliver key supplies to the orbiting outpost.

Skip to next paragraph

The European Space Agency's third Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV-3) lifted off at 12:34 a.m. EDT (0434 GMT) atop an Ariane 5 rocket from Europe's spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana. After a brief light show, the rocket slipped through a cloud layer and soared into orbit.

The 13-ton cargo freighter is loaded with about 7.2 tons of supplies, including food, water, clothing, experiments and fuel for the space station, according to NASA. The unmanned ATV-3 is the heaviest load of cargo ever delivered to the station by a robotic spacecraft, ESA officials said in a statement.

The vehicle is scheduled to arrive at the space station on March 28 at 6:32 p.m. EDT (2232 GMT).

"This is just the start of a very long journey which will take the Edoardo Amaldi into space for about five months," ESA Director-General Jean-Jacques Dordain said after the successful launch. "It's a good start; a very good start."?[Dazzling Night Launch Photos of Europe's ATV-3]

The ATV-3 is nicknamed "Edoardo Amaldi" after the famed Italian physicist and spaceflight pioneer who is credited with helping to create the European Space Agency. Amaldi is also one of the founding fathers of CERN, the?particle physics laboratory?along the Swiss-French border that houses the Large Hadron Collider.

The cylindrical spacecraft is 35 feet (10.7 meters) long and 14.7 feet (4.5 meters) wide - large enough to fit a double-decker bus inside. Europe's disposable ATVs are designed to automatically dock to the Zvezda module on the Russian portion of the International Space Station. ?

The cargo ships then remain attached to the complex for up to six months before they are packed with garbage and deliberately sent to?burn up during atmospheric re-entry.

Astronomers put forward new theory on size of black holes

Saturday, March 24, 2012

Astronomers have put forward a new theory about why black holes become so hugely massive ? claiming some of them have no 'table manners', and tip their 'food' directly into their mouths, eating more than one course simultaneously.

Researchers from the UK and Australia investigated how some black holes grow so fast that they are billions of times heavier than the sun.

The team from the University of Leicester (UK) and Monash University in Australia sought to establish how black holes got so big so fast. Their research is due to published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.

The research was funded by the UK Science and Technology Facilities Council.

Professor Andrew King from the Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Leicester, said: "Almost every galaxy has an enormously massive black hole in its centre. Our own galaxy, the Milky Way, has one about four million times heavier than the sun. But some galaxies have black holes a thousand times heavier still. We know they grew very quickly after the Big Bang.''

"These hugely massive black holes were already full--grown when the universe was very young, less than a tenth of its present age."

Black holes grow by sucking in gas. This forms a disc around the hole and spirals in, but usually so slowly that the holes could not have grown to these huge masses in the entire age of the universe. `We needed a faster mechanism,' says Chris Nixon, also at Leicester, "so we wondered what would happen if gas came in from different directions."

Nixon, King and their colleague Daniel Price in Australia made a computer simulation of two gas discs orbiting a black hole at different angles. After a short time the discs spread and collide, and large amounts of gas fall into the hole. According to their calculations black holes can grow 1,000 times faster when this happens.

"If two guys ride motorbikes on a Wall of Death and they collide, they lose the centrifugal force holding them to the walls and fall," says King. The same thing happens to the gas in these discs, and it falls in towards the hole.

This may explain how these black holes got so big so fast. "We don't know exactly how gas flows inside galaxies in the early universe," said King, "but I think it is very promising that if the flows are chaotic it is very easy for the black hole to feed."

The two biggest black holes ever discovered are each about ten billion times bigger than the Sun.

Success In Writing, Publishing And Marketing With Jane Friedman ...

by Joanna Penn on March 18, 2012

There are a number of key influencers in the publishing blogosphere, and Jane Friedman is definitely one of them.

I have been reading Jane?s articles and following her tweets since I started blogging myself, and she continues to give fresh perspectives that help authors as well as others in the industry. So I am excited to bring you this interview with her. Audio, video and text is below.

In the introduction to the podcast, I mention what I have been up to: the release of the ProWriter courses with NY Times bestselling author CJ Lyons, speaking at a publishing conference, how my business model is becoming a reality and my progress on Exodus, Hunterian and rewrites of my career change book. I?m also off down under next week to Australia and New Zealand. Ok, on with the show!

Jane Friedman is a former publishing and media exec who now serves as Assistant Professor of e-media at the University of Cincinnati. Jane is also Contributing Editor at Writer?s Digest and speaks on writing, publishing and new media seemingly everywhere.

  • How Jane?s career started with a degree in Creative Writing and then moved into corporate publishing at F&W Media where she spent 12 years. She was publisher of Writer?s Digest so was writing and publishing about writing and publishing! She also specialized in learning about the trends in self-publishing so has been aware of the market for the last 10 years and how things have changed.
  • Changes in ebook world. The exponential growth of ebooks in traditional and independent channels. The growth is a lot slower elsewhere but in the US, the growth is huge. At some publishers it is above 20% now. The other component is not just ebook sales, but online purchasing of print or electronic which is what impacts the brick & mortar stores. This trend will change book buying. There are also a lot of new tools available. Jane mentions Pressbooks which makes it easy to create professional ePub files. Vook which may be a competitor to iBooksAuthor ? multimedia ebooks with very little training.
  • On the importance of print. My own opinion. Jane talks about print on demand for those indie authors whose customers demand some kind of print. The more interesting side are the special print editions that are a luxury product for fans. This is high quality, hardcover, special edition that is customized or personalized. I mention Cory Doctorow?s special hardbacks priced at $275.
  • What?s broken with traditional publishing and are they changing? The print/return model to bookstores and the lack of transparency in reporting. Big publishing is responding to these issues but slowly and only when it benefits them. Simon & Schuster have introduced a more accurate reporting platform for their authors. But publishers are not feeling the financial pain of the existing model. Advances, royalties, return model still make them money. Jane mentions Mike Shatzkin?s site which is a great site for publishing news.
  • On discoverability and platform. The importance of meta-data, making sure all the fields are completed and accurately tagged and categorized so that your book comes up in search. Being algorithm friendly is important. Creative marketing online is another aspect and this is a combination of your own story, your own strengths and also your target audience. There is a sweet spot for everyone. Look at who you want to attract which will drive your strategy. It does need to grow organically and not just be ?me too? marketing. Jane has a great article on author platform here.
  • On author platform and then the breakout novels that aren?t related to the size of a platform. This is out of our control ? is it just luck? It?s hard to break down the breakout novels that do crest on media mentions, serendipity and other factors we can?t control. There is magic but we can only be prepared by putting in the effort to try to kickstart the process. People are impatient. People put in a few weeks of effort and then wonder why they aren?t a bestseller yet. Set tasks that you can sustain for months and then adjust as you understand what people respond to. It?s a continuous journey and if you?re new to marketing, there is a lot to learn. The ?overnight? success often comes from years of persistence.
  • Jane wrote a tongue-in-cheek book on The Future of Publishing, which I recommend. She says ?You can?t be just a writer of stories and books anymore?, and this is true depending on your priorities. Jane mentions the Seth Godin comment that writers shouldn?t expect to make money anymore. The old attitudes don?t cut it in this new world.
  • On introverts and marketing. Jane and I are both introverts. Before social networking, marketing was foreign. But the new ways allow us to connect in non-threatening ways that allow us to be authentic and real. This is life-changing! It?s not about a pushy, fake persona in marketing. It?s about being you and this is sustainable over the long term.
  • On twitter. Jane has over 150,000 followers. Jane was an early adopter but didn?t understand it initially and so abandoned it. Once she had figured it out, she loved it and used it strategically. Her early start was part of the growth of her account. She was one of the first people in writing and publishing tweeting useful links and has stuck to this strategy. She tweets 3-6 times per day and doesn?t use it very conversationally. Twitter has had an amazing impact. Jane explains some of the opportunities that have come her way through the connections she?s made online. [I second this - Twitter, along with blogging, has changed my life.] Social media opportunities also snowball over time. It doesn?t happen immediately. Have patience. Be authentic. Enjoy the process.

Reyna, Meola elected to US Soccer Hall of Fame

updated 1:14 p.m. ET Feb. 29, 2012

CHICAGO - Former U.S. national team captain Claudio Reyna and goalkeeper Tony Meola have been elected to the U.S. National Soccer Hall of Fame.

Former defender Desmond Armstrong was elected on the veterans' ballot and former women's national team coach Tony DiCicco on the builder ballot, the U.S. Soccer Federation said Wednesday.

Reyna, the U.S. captain at the 2002 and 2006 World Cups, appeared on 96 percent of the player ballots cast by an electorate that includes Hall of Famers, administrators and media. Meola, starting goalkeeper at the 1990 and 1994 World Cups, was on 90 percent. Both were on the ballot for the first time.

The induction date has not been set. U.S. soccer no longer has a building for its hall. The one in Oneonta, N.Y., closed two years ago.
