Researchers at the University of California, Santa Cruz, have developed a novel approach for eradicating drug-resistant bacteria from wounds and skin infections, using light to trigger the controlled release of nitric oxide. The UCSC team developed a photoactive compound that releases nitric oxide when exposed to light, and loaded it into a porous, biocompatible material that could be applied as a sprayable powder.

In laboratory tests, the light-triggered nitric oxide treatment eradicated a highly drug-resistant strain of Acinetobacter baumannii, a type of gram-negative bacteria that causes hard-to-treat and potentially lethal infections throughout the world, including serious infections in soldiers wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan. The team led by Pradip Mascharak, professor of chemistry and biochemistry at UC Santa Cruz, and graduate student Brandon Heilman published their results in the Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS). The paper is currently available online and will be featured on the cover of a future print issue of the journal.

Nitric oxide has potent antimicrobial effects and is known to play a role in the immune system and promote wound healing. Gaseous nitric oxide has been used to treat infected wounds, but handling the toxic and reactive gas poses many challenges. So researchers have begun exploring a variety of other methods for delivering nitric oxide as an antibiotic treatment. Because nitric oxide attacks a large number of targets in microorganisms, including DNA, proteins, and lipids, many scientists expect bacteria will not easily develop resistance to it.

Mascharak's lab developed a photoactive manganese nitrosyl, a compound that rapidly releases nitric oxide when exposed to light. As a carrier for this compound, the researchers used a porous silicate material known as MCM-41, which traps the photoactive compound inside its pores. They also tested a related aluminosilicate material (Al-MCM-41), which holds the photoactive compound even more tightly. Tests showed that after the light-triggered release of nitric oxide, the byproduct of the reaction remains trapped inside the powdery, biocompatible material.

"It only delivers nitric oxide. The rest remains trapped in the material, which can be washed out of the wound," Mascharak said. "We think it could be used as a sprayable powder for treating battlefield wounds."

Acinetobacter baumannii has earned the nickname "Iraqibacter" because it has caused so many serious infections in soldiers wounded in Iraq. Some strains of the bacteria are resistant to virtually all antibiotics. Mascharak's lab tested their compound against a strain, isolated from a soldier injured in Afghanistan, that showed resistance to nine of 11 antibiotics tested.

To test the photoactive compound, the researchers developed a laboratory model of skin and soft-tissue infections. A standard antibacterial assay involves growing bacteria on the surface of an agar plate (a petri dish with a layer of firm, gelatin-like growth medium). In an infection, however, bacteria are not only on the surface but also deeper within the skin or soft tissues. "We realized that there wasn't a good model for in vitro testing of antibiotics against soft-tissue infections," Heilman said.

To more closely mimic the conditions in an infected wound, Heilman mixed bacteria into a warm solution of "soft brine agar" and poured that onto agar plates to solidify. The bacteria then grew throughout a 1.1-millimeter-thick layer of soft agar, allowing growth and colonization to occur in a manner similar to that seen in skin and soft-tissue infections.

Heilman then applied the aluminosilicate powder, with and without the photoactive manganese nitrosyl compound, to a defined area of the plates before shining visible light on them. The released nitric oxide effectively cleared the bacteria from the treated areas of the plates, showing that the nitric oxide easily penetrated through the agar layer. The amount of light used to activate the compound (100 milliWatts per square centimeter) is a typical light flux on a sunny day, Mascharak said.

The ability to control the release of nitric oxide using light is a significant advantage for clinical applications, he added. Tests showed that illumination of the material causes a steady release of nitric oxide, which can be stopped and started repeatedly by turning the light off and on. In the field, this could be accomplished by covering and uncovering the treated area.

"This is the first proof-of-concept to show that it works," Mascharak said. In the paper, the researchers concluded that "It is expected that application of these nitrosyl-containing porous materials to infected wounds followed by exposure to sunlight will bring about a rapid reduction of the pathogen load."

The researchers now hope to find collaborators who can help them with the next levels of testing needed to develop the clinical potential of their compound.

What: A new study, supported in part by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) of the National Institutes of Health, suggests that a combination of mobile technology and remote coaching holds promise in encouraging healthier eating and physical activity behavior in adults. The study focused on the best way to change multiple health behaviors.

The study results will appear Monday, May 28, in the Archives of Internal Medicine, with an accompanying commentary authored by William Riley, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist and program director for the NHLBI.

Scientists from the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago, along with colleagues from other institutions, studied 204 overweight and obese adults. Prior to enrollment, participants had a diet high in saturated fat and low in fruits and vegetables. They also engaged in little daily physical activity and had high amounts of sedentary leisure time.

Each participant was assigned to one of four groups:
Increase fruit and vegetable intake and increase time in moderate/vigorous physical activity
Increase fruit and vegetable intake and reduce time in sedentary leisure activities
Decrease fat intake and increase time in moderate/vigorous physical activity
Decrease fat intake and decrease time in sedentary leisure activities
All participants received mobile devices and were trained on entering information about their daily activities and eating patterns. Coaches studied the data received and then phoned or emailed participants to encourage and support healthy changes during the three-week study. Participants were also asked to continue to track and submit their data over a 20-week follow-up period. Financial incentives for reaching study goals during the study and continuing participation during the follow-up period were offered.

All four groups showed improvements in reaching the assigned health goals, with the most striking results occurring in the group asked to increase fruit and vegetable intake and reduce sedentary leisure activities. The researchers found after 20 weeks of follow up that this group's average daily servings of fruits and vegetables increased from 1.2 to 2.9; their average minutes per day of sedentary leisure activity dropped from 219.2 to 125.7; and the percentage of saturated fat in their daily calories went from 12 to 9.9.

In his commentary, Riley notes that the use of mobile technology to improve cardiovascular health is worth further study of the effects on health outcomes and costs. Mobile technology offers the chance to deliver key health messages without waiting for intermittent visits with health care providers, he says.

Whether you?re into finance and accounting services or business support services placing a group of experienced employees together does not guarantee the success of a team. Each member must perform at a high-enough level to ensure that his contribution is an integral part of completing the project. It is the job of the human resource services to get the best performance from team members, work to help maintain momentum until all required tasks are completed.

Individual performance and getting your team to perform are two totally different entities. Indeed, they represent a total shift in paradigm. When you focus on your entire team's performance, your own achievement includes the sum total of the whole team's achievement, and an individual failure can also pull your team performance down.

Below are a few tips on how this can be achieved

Conduct a meeting with your team as soon as it forms and explain the mission of the company and why your department or team is important to realizing the goals. Tell the members why they were chosen to fulfill the duties of the project.

?

Include your team in planning the activities to meet deadlines. Allow each member to determine their duties that lead to the end result. Write down performance plans and reassess regularly to ensure compliance

.

Encourage employees who do not perform at a high level to take responsibility for their work and help keep the team moving forward. Let the laggard members know that their tasks are important and that other workers rely on them. Remind them about the characteristics they possess that led you to choose them for the team.

?

Brainstorm with your team to discover more efficient avenues for task completion. This exercise also shows that you respect your team members' ideas and will listen when approached about new solutions to output delays.

?

Allow team members to resolve conflict among themselves, with you as a guide. Ensure that each one respects the other person's idea and position, but make it clear that they must do what's best for the group and the company. Teaching your staff how to place their personal conflicts aside to advance the goals of the team helps them learn how to avoid behavior that slows down progress so they can perform at their best together.

?

Reward employees for meeting interim deadlines and completing portions of the larger project. A pizza lunch in the workplace or a half-day off with pay serves to refresh and motivate the team. If your budget allows, organize a morale booster that includes a day of activities and bonding away from the office to encourage your team members to perform efficiently as a team.

Team leaders or supervisors have the task of motivating members to work toward a common goal and maintain positive outlooks about the project and the company. If deadlines are usually short, requiring high energy levels from the team, your staff risks burning out. A good, motivated team is an asset to the company. Maintaining and encouraging healthy interpersonal relations among the employees goes a long way in creating healthy bonds and avoiding unnecessary office politics.

The internet has been around for a long time and probably will be forever.When the internet became public there were marketing strategies already in place. The affiliate marketing practices were just becoming realized and companies flooded the market with their products and services. This opened a whole new perspective to online riches. Then companies became aware of the cost of reaching the public and they realized, a new way of advertising needed implementing.

Affiliate marketing became a great way for these companies to save time and money. Now you have probably heard through some source, of the internet millionaires, being produced. I know I certainly heard and wondered what it was all about. Like most Americans, we have the drive and instinct to do better, to make the world an easier place to live. This leads to wealth that normally requires hands on work.

How to find companies offering affiliate marketing. The way you would do this, is to, get on the internet look for some products you would normally like to own. It could be anything from books, cameras, to shoes, anything you find on the internet is marketable. Even companies offering services is good, because, it means you don?t have to own anything or have to have a warehouse, which means no overhead. Many marketers use their hobbies that they love, to launch websites that promote and produce a steady stream of income.

Where does revenue come from? Revenue comes from the sale of products, software, or services that you promote on a website or even a blog. Find a company you would like, start promoting, setup the means of receiving a payment, get paid it is as simple as that. Most marketers don?t want you to know what they know. It took many years for me to figure out some of the things I am writing about today. Websites and blogs are essential to advertise what your promoting. Doing what works brings the revenue you are desiring.

Traffic building and promotions. Without the traffic, streaming to your site or blog, you would not have the revenue you want. There are many ways to build traffic, from blogging to social networks like Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and a few more. Promotions are e-mail programs, with banners and pop ups. Another way to bring traffic is through software that you can download or find on the internet. I am sure you have seen these on websites, e-mails and so forth.

Find companies that have affiliate marketing programs sign up for them build a website or blog start promoting. Setup an account with Pay-Pal or some other service and start receiving the revenue you are generating. E-mail your potential clients to have continual promotions sent to them. You will be on your way to an online business in no time.

Here it is the promotions you are looking for found all over the internet. It would take you a long time to find these and put them together in one place I have done that for you. Sit back relax and browse the many items. http://www.wealthinternethome.com/

Google Wallet: one year later

The rumors and leaks go back a bit further, but it was a year ago today that Google officially revealed its Google Wallet mobile payment service -- a platform that the company is still betting big on, even if it may be slightly reconsidering the way it does business. While it might not have taken off quite as quickly as Google would have liked, the past year has still been a fairly eventful one for the service -- albeit occasionally for reasons the company would prefer you forget -- and the next year proves to be even more challenging as the service faces increased competition. Read on for a look back at how we got here, and what lies ahead for both Google Wallet and mobile payments in general.

The History

Of course, while Wallet is Google's first big push into mobile payments, it is far from the first. Mobile payments have been "the future" of payments for decades now, long before the days of smartphones equipped with NFC (or Near Field Communication). Early attempts in the 1990s from companies like DigiCash focused not on phones, but on standalone "smart cards," which promised better security, no transaction fees and more convenience than traditional credit cards -- one day we would use them not to just pay for items at a store, but from our home computers as well. E-cash for an e-economy.

With the rapid rise of cellphones, though, came a push for mobile commerce, or "m-commerce," an effort that really began to pick up steam in the early 2000s when mobile payments were not just the realm of upstarts, but big players like Nokia (which would continue to push its own efforts throughout the decade). Our phones would be the one device we used for everything: they'd open doors, get us on a bus or subway, and let us pay for anything, anywhere. In many ways, that's still the goal we're working towards, and one that's slowly starting to become a reality.

The Launch

The launch of Google Wallet was a typical, modern day tech event. The press assembled on short notice for a presentation filled with slides, demonstrations and much walking back and forth on stage -- partners were trotted out, promises were made and lots of questions were left unanswered. The launch event also marked the start of a very slow rollout for the service itself. Just one phone on one carrier was announced at the event -- the Sprint Nexus S 4G -- and the service launched only in limited trials in New York and San Francisco, with a vague "summer" date given for a broader rollout.

The launch of the service also brought a dispute with PayPal out into the open, with that company filing suit against Google the very day of the event, alleging that former PayPal executive Osama Bedier misappropriated the company's trade secrets in developing Google Wallet. PayPal further alleged that Stephanie Tilenius, also formerly of PayPal, violated the terms of her contract in recruiting Bedier. Google said it would defend itself against those charges at the time, but little has emerged about the lawsuit since, and PayPal itself is continuing to pursue a number of mobile payment initiatives.

The Devices

In the past year, the lineup of devices supporting Google Wallet has expanded a bit, but not all that much. In addition to the Nexus S, the Sprint Galaxy Nexus, LG Viper and LG Optimus Elite (also available on Sprint's Virgin Mobile prepaid brand) all support mobile payments with Google Wallet. You can also use the service with an unlocked Galaxy Nexus, albeit only on AT&T and T-Mobile (as Verizon has deemed fit to block it). Key to all of those phones is a built-in NFC chip, which has become the de facto standard for mobile payments in recent years. NFC itself is an extension of RFID technology (Radio-Frequency Identification), which was the basis for a number of earlier mobile payment efforts.

No fewer than 10 Google Wallet-supporting devices in all have been promised for this year -- but, again, Sprint remains the sole carrier (more on what the other big carriers are up to later). There was talk from the launch event of expanding the service through NFC stickers that could be attached to any smartphone, but this hasn't yet panned out.

The Partnerships

While it may be a bit short on carriers and phones, Google has fared a bit better when it comes to partners on the financial and retail sides. It's teamed up with MasterCard to allow for payments via hundreds of thousands of PayPass terminals at stores across the United States. There's also no shortage of retailers who have signed on to offer not just mobile payments, but coupons and loyalty credits as well -- Walgreens, Toys R Us, Macy's, The Gap, and Foot Locker, to name a few, with more promised.

Unfortunately, while MasterCard allows the service to be accepted at plenty of retailers, you still need a Citibank MasterCard to get the most out of it. Other cardholders can use the service, but you'll need to regularly top up your Google Wallet account rather than draw funds directly from your credit card. There's no word on any further expansion in that area just yet.

The Competition

Google faces a number of challenges on the road to widespread adoption of the service, not the least of which is some increased competition. Its biggest rival by far (at least in the US) is Isis, a joint venture between AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon that's challenging Google and Sprint head-on -- offering the same contactless payments, coupons and loyalty cards, with an NFC-enabled smartphone handling all of the transactions. Also like Google Wallet, it's starting out slow, with trials in just two cities this summer (Salt Lake City and Austin), and a limited, but growing, number of credit card partners (currently including Chase, Capital One and American Express). Perhaps its biggest advantage over Google Wallet, though, is the promise of far more supported phones (from virtually all of the big manufacturers, Apple aside) on all three of the aforementioned carriers.

The company would also face several challengers if it intends to compete on an international level. A group of the UK's biggest carriers are forming their own Isis-like joint venture, Rogers and CIBC recently announced an initiative of their own in Canada, and various other partnerships and solo efforts are starting to sprout up around the globe before Google even gets its foot in the door.

The Future

So what will year two of Google Wallet look like? That's still very much a guessing game at this point, with Google itself staying relatively mum on any future plans beyond those aforementioned (but still unspecified) new devices and additional retail partners. The Wall Street Journal did recently report that Google may be considering a shift in strategy, however, with it possibly either sharing revenue with carriers in order to bring more on board or even side-stepping the carriers altogether and instead working directly with retailers to manage transactions. What is clear, though, is that this next year will likely be the most interesting time yet for mobile payments -- an area that, for all its progress, is still really just beginning to get off the ground.

Tencent extends lead in China's $1.78 billion online gaming market

ISP now commands 33.7% share

Internet service provider Tencent remains the dominant force in the Chinese online gaming market, extending its lead in Q1 2012 according to a report by Analysys International.

Tencent now holds a 33.7 percent share of what Analysys claims is a 11.26 billion yuan ($1.78 billion) market ? itself up 9.5 percent from Q4 2011 figures.

Tencent on top

"Manufacturers adopted various tactics in their promotions to increase their revenue in the beginning of 2012," detailed Analysys in its report.

"Analysys International finds that there was no change in the ranking and Tencent continued to lead the market with absolute strength."

Though on top in the online gaming market, Tencent has spent the last year investing heavily in its operations on mobile, launching its own app store on Android in September.

The platform, which is now also compatible with iOS, Windows Phone, Symbian and HTML5, boasted 13 million daily active users as of February 2012.
