First biological evidence of a supernova

May 8, 2013 ? In fossil remnants of iron-loving bacteria, researchers of the Cluster of Excellence Origin and Structure of the Universe at the Technische Universitaet Muenchen (TUM), found a radioactive iron isotope that they trace back to a supernova in our cosmic neighborhood. This is the first proven biological signature of a starburst on our Earth. The age determination of the deep-drill core from the Pacific Ocean showed that the supernova must have occurred about 2.2 million years ago, roughly around the time when the modern human developed.

Most of the chemical elements have their origin in core collapse supernovae. When a star ends its life in a gigantic starburst, it throws most of its mass into space. The radioactive iron isotope Fe-60 is produced almost exclusively in such supernovae. Because its half-life of 2.62 million years is short compared to the age of our solar system, no supernova iron should be present on Earth. Therefore, any discovery of Fe-60 on Earth would indicate a supernova in our cosmic neighborhood. In the year 2004, Fe-60 was discovered on Earth for the first time in a ferromanganese crust obtained from the floor of the equatorial Pacific Ocean. Its geological dating puts the event around 2.2 million years ago.

So-called magnetotactic bacteria live within the sediments of Earth's oceans, close to the water-sediment interface. They make within their cells hundreds of tiny crystals of magnetite (Fe3O4), each approximately 80 nanometers in diameter. The magnetotactic bacteria obtain the iron from atmospheric dust that enters the ocean. Nuclear astrophysicist Shawn Bishop from the Technische Universitaet Muenchen conjectured, therefore, that Fe-60 should also reside within those magnetite crystals produced by magnetotactic bacteria extant at the time of the supernova interaction with our planet. These bacterially produced crystals, when found in sediments long after their host bacteria have died, are called "magnetofossils."

Shawn Bishop and his colleagues analyzed parts of a Pacific Ocean sediment core obtained from the Ocean Drilling Program, dating between about 1.7 million and 3.3 million years ago. They took sediment samples corresponding to intervals of about 100,000 years and treated them chemically to selectively dissolve the magnetofossils -- thereby extracting any Fe-60 they might contain.

Finally, using the ultra sensitive accelerator mass spectrometry system at the Maier Leibnitz Laboratory in Garching, Munich, they found a tantalizing hint of Iron-60 atoms occurring around 2.2 million years ago, which matches the expected time from the ferromanganese study. "It seems reasonable to suppose that the apparent signal of Fe-60 could be remains of magnetite chains formed by bacteria on the sea floor as a starburst showered on them from the atmosphere," Shawn Bishop says. He and his team are now preparing to analyze a second sediment drill core, containing upwards of 10 times the amount of material as the first drill core, to see if it also holds the Fe-60 signal and, if it does, to map out the shape of the signal as a function of time.

KTGY Completes the Design & Construction of Nearly 20 Million ...

KTGY Invests in Technology & Launches Proprietary Services

IRVINE, CA ? May 6, 2013 ? (RealEstateRama) ? Award-winning national firm KTGY Group, Inc., Architecture + Planning, announced today that the firm?s Retail Studio has completed the design and construction of nearly 20 million square feet of retail in the last 12 months. The firm currently has 8.8 million square feet of retail under construction and nearly 10 million square feet in the design phase. It has also created two unique technology innovations for the retail industry for developers and expanding retailers, the Mobile Design Studio and a proprietary Site Survey App for the iPad.

According to KTGY?s Associate Principal Craig T. Chinn, who heads up its Retail Studio, ?KTGY?s Retail Studio has experienced exceptional growth in the last year and a half, including developing dozens of new and existing store design concepts for many of the nation?s largest retailers as well as many regional retailers like MyBlow LA and SwimSpot, to international retailers like Fossil Inc., Vitamin Shoppe, AllSaints, and McDonald?s. Our development of KTGY?s Mobile Design Studio and proprietary Site Survey App has provided retailers with unique tools in their quest to speed to market.?

Chinn stated, ?We knew that the deep recession had put a pinch on everyone?s budgets and maximizing speed to market was on every retailer and developer?s mind so we came up with the idea of a Mobile Design Studio, a design lab on wheels that would allow us to deliver local architectural and planning services to clients anywhere in the world ? onsite. We also came up with the idea for a Site Survey App, specifically made for the iPad to assist with onsite surveys from small tenant improvement projects to large-scale mall renovations.?

With the Mobile Design Studio, KTGY can meet with the client; do a survey using the Site Survey App; and then create a design while on site. ?We knew that being able to draw what the clients wanted, while right in front of them, was a tremendous advantage and critical time-saver. Plus, the Site Survey App allows us to take photos, create a photo index on the plans, input info/data and send it to the office network to create a complete survey package. The use of the Mobile Design Studio and the Site Survey App have allowed clients to quickly and efficiently tackle large, complex projects in the shortest amount of time,? Chinn stated.

With the investment in technology, KTGY has also made a name for itself working with the largest mall owners providing the design and architectural services for the renovation and repositioning of mall properties. In the last 12 months, KTGY completed 14 major mall renovations and repositioning projects including: Northridge Fashion Center in Northridge, Calif.; Medford Mall in Medford, OR; and Pierre Bossier Mall in Bossier City, LA. KTGY is currently working on the design of 5 major mall renovation projects and 10 mini renovation projects across the US.

KTGY is also transforming vacant anchor space into single and multiple retail uses for retailers and shopping center owners. For example, at Montclair Plaza in Montclair, CA, the former Borders location is being renovated to accommodate an Ashley Furniture HomeStore opening on May 17. At the Eastland Shopping Center in West Covina, Ashley Furniture opened a store in the former Toys ?R Us building. We are also working on numerous exterior upgrades and renovations for regional and neighborhood shopping centers.

KTGY also completed designs for new ground up retail and mixed-use development projects; The Lakes, 450 residential units plus 20,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space in West Covina, CA, near museums and transit; District Square, a 300,000-square-foot multi-level shopping center in Los Angeles, anchored by a Super Target, Ross, Marshalls, and shops and restaurants; and multiple neighborhood grocery-anchored shopping centers. KTGY is also providing design services for an 800,000-square-foot ocean-front mixed-use development, which incorporates a hotel, residential units, retail, restaurants and convention center.

According to Chinn, ?Retailers and regional shopping center and mall owners are having to reinvent themselves in order to keep their market share. And, with higher land and construction costs, renovating will continue to be a priority in 2013. Renovations, especially at malls, are those that translate into quantifiable return on investment; those that can be seen, touched and felt. The scope of the renovations are ranging from $2 million to $16 million, depending on the marketplace and level of need and the age of the center.?

The type of renovations include new paint, adding/replacing tile, improving amenities, renovation of restrooms, more efficient and better quality lighting, and food court remodels. Amenity remodels include adding or replacing trash bins, directional signage, lounge seating throughout the center, adding WiFi, and new landscaping.

?In the food court, the renovations are transforming former dark, cafeteria-style food court and seating, into a light, bright, energetic food court with a variety of seating ? booths, high and low top tables, large and small tables ? to provide more restaurant-style amenities,? Chinn said. ?Retail merchandise units (RMUs) and kiosks will continue to add value to the shopper?s experience as well as revenue for the mall developers.?

Kiosks have been such a great source of revenue for both enclosed and open air centers that the addition of new power and data supply as well as ?wet? kiosks for a juice bar, frozen yogurt, or a coffee house located in the center courts and the concourses, will continue, Chinn noted.

?Mall anchor tenants have begun to follow suit and will begin a heavy renovation process to keep up with the look and character of the renovated mall. Too many years have passed without renovation of the tired looking anchor stores,? Chinn added.

Dirty carpets stained with spills, worn-out tile, and miss-matched yellow and white lights will make way for new flooring, cleaned walled surfaces and new, consistent lighting throughout the spaces. New store design and visual merchandising will continue to emphasize a more modern, clean look and feel. Stores are brighter and uncluttered with storefront displays acting as windows into the store with minimal blockage.

?Chains like Shoe Palace, Forever 21, Love Culture, Michael Kors, and Uniqlo are leading the way. Restaurant chains such as McDonald?s, Chipotle, and Carl?s Jr. are giving their restaurants a more contemporary look as well. LED lighting, clean polished porcelain floors, frameless glass storefronts are the current choice for materials. This minimalistic approach truly showcases their offerings,? said Chinn.

Many shopping center owners are converting vacant big boxes and turning them into multiple restaurants pads, smaller shop spaces and public plazas, Chinn noted. ?A single 50,000-square-foot vacant big box can make way for two restaurant end-caps, in-line shop space and a public plaza dissecting the space into two smaller buildings. Although you would end up losing 8,000-10,000 square feet, you would command higher lease rates because of the tenant mix. You could also add in locations in the public plaza for RMUs and kiosks. At the end of the transformation, you are actually netting more revenue versus a single large tenant. The only down side is you have a lot more work to lease all of the spaces vs. a single user. Shopping center owners and developers, like General Growth Properties, Westfield, Simon, Macerich and CBL, are capitalizing on their empty box space and transforming their centers,? Chinn said.

?Restaurants, public plazas, and cool shop spaces are the must-haves for the foreseeable future,? said Chinn. ?If you know of a vacant Circuit City, Borders, or Best Buy, chances are that you will see that space turned into busy sit-down restaurants (like BJ?s, Yard House or an Abuelo?s), a public gathering space with outdoor WiFi coverage and fountains, and cool trendy retail shops like Teavana, Microsoft, Lovesac, or the local coffee house.?

(AP) ? Four members of Army special forces ready to head to Benghazi, Libya, after the deadly assault on the American diplomatic mission had ended were told not to go, according to a former top diplomat.

Gregory Hicks also argued in an interview with Republicans on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee that if the U.S. military had flown aircraft over the Benghazi facility after it came under siege it might have prevented the second attack on the CIA annex that killed two CIA security officers.

Excerpts of the interview with the former deputy chief in Libya were released Monday in advance of Hicks' testimony on Wednesday before the panel.

The Sept. 11, 2012, assault killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans. Nearly eight months later, Republicans insist that the Obama administration is guilty of a cover-up of the events despite a scathing independent report that faulted the State Department for inadequate security at the diplomatic mission.

Hicks' comments and the hearing are likely to revive the politically charged debate in which GOP lawmakers and outside groups have faulted former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, a possible presidential candidate in 2016.

After the first word of the attack in Benghazi, a seven-member security team, including two military personnel, flew from Tripoli to Benghazi. Upon their arrival, they learned that Stevens was missing and the situation had calmed after the first attack, according to a Pentagon timeline released last year.

Meanwhile, a second team was preparing to leave on a Libyan C-130 cargo plane from Tripoli to Benghazi when Hicks said he learned from the Libyan prime minister that Stevens was dead. The Libyan military agreed to transport additional personnel as reinforcements to Benghazi on its cargo plane, but Hicks complained the special forces were told not to make the trip.

"They were told not to board the flight, so they missed it," Hicks told GOP committee staff. Pressed on why, he said, "I guess they just didn't have the right authority from the right level."

Defense officials said Monday that four members of Army special forces were in Tripoli on Sept. 11, 2012, as part of a regular training mission. The officials said they were trying to track down information about the Libyan cargo plane and could not verify whether or not the special forces were told not to get on the plane.

The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly, said it is normal procedure for U.S. service members to get permission to fly on another country's military aircraft.

That flight left Tripoli after the second attack on the CIA annex that killed two security officers ? Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty.

Hicks also contended that if the U.S. military has scrambled jet fighters after the first attack that it would have prevented the mortar attack on the CIA annex around 5:15 a.m.

"I believe the Libyans would have split. They would have been scared to death that we would have gotten a laser on them and killed them," Hicks said, according to the excerpts.

Former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and other military leaders have said there wasn't enough time for the military to respond as the events in Benghazi occurred too quickly ? a point reinforced by the Pentagon on Monday.

"The fact of the matter remains, as we have repeatedly indicated, that U.S. military forces could not have arrived in time to mount a rescue of those Americans who were killed and injured that night," said Pentagon press secretary George Little.

At the State Department on Monday, spokesman Patrick Ventrell said the committee's work appeared to have political aims rather than ensuring the protection of U.S. diplomats serving overseas.

"It certainly seems so, so far," he replied when asked if the department believed the investigation to be driven by partisan politics. "I mean, this is not sort of a collaborative process where the committee is working directly with us and trying to establish facts that would help as we look to keep our people safe overseas in a very complex environment."

Democrats on the committee said Monday they have been excluded from the investigation.

Ventrell said the department had not seen the full transcript of Hicks' statements to committee investigators and could not comment until it had or until after his testimony on Wednesday. At the same time, he insisted that the department was not blocking any employee from appearing before Congress or intimidating them into silence.

"We understand this testimony's going to go forward, and we want people to go and tell the truth," he told reporters. "But in terms of the full context of these remarks or these sort of accusations, we don't have the full context, so it's hard for us to respond."

Ventrell also pushed back against allegations from congressional Republicans and their surrogates that the independent panel appointed by former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton had not conducted a comprehensive or credible investigation into the Benghazi incident and were somehow involved in a cover-up.

He noted that the independent panel, called the Accountability Review Board, had produced a harshly critical report, blaming systematic leadership and management failures at senior levels of the State Department for the inadequate security at the Benghazi compound.

Meanwhile the co-chairs of the review board, retired Adm. Mike Mullen, the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and former senior diplomat Thomas Pickering, released a statement rejecting claims that their panel had been denied access to key witnesses or had conducted anything less than a thorough and impartial probe.

"From the beginning of the ARB process, we had unfettered access to everyone and everything including all the documentation we needed," the two men said. "Our marching orders were to get to the bottom of what happened, and that's what we did."

Meanwhile, the former head of the State Department's counterterrorism bureau, Daniel Benjamin, denied allegations that his office had been cut out of the loop in the discussions and decision-making processes in the aftermath of the attack.

"This charge is simply untrue," he said. "At no time did I feel that the bureau was in any way being left out of deliberations that it should have been part of."

Outgoing Alibaba CEO Ma says he's 'old' for Web

SANTA MONICA, Calif. (AP) ? Alibaba founder Jack Ma, the billionaire who has run the Chinese e-commerce giant since 1999, says he's getting "a bit old" for the Internet.

That's what the outgoing chief executive told a charitable event in Santa Monica Thursday as he pledged $5 million toward a China-based fund that supports environmental conservation projects outside China.

"I'm young for new things but I'm a bit old for the Internet," the 48-year-old said.

Ma's gift doubles the amount raised for the China Global Conservation Fund, an offshoot of the Arlington, Va.-based organization, The Nature Conservancy.

Ma steps down as CEO from Alibaba Group on May 10, ahead of a widely expected initial public offering of stock that could create a windfall for Yahoo Inc., which owns nearly a quarter of the company.

Ma said that he prepared for his retirement for the last nine years and is looking forward to working on philanthropic causes such as environmental conservation.

He said he was inspired to act after visiting his home in China six years ago. A lake he nearly drowned in as a boy had mostly dried up. He also spoke to a farmer who used chemicals on produce that he wouldn't feed his family. "I know something is wrong," Ma said.

Ma will chair the Chinese board overseeing the fund once he steps down as CEO.

Acer intros Aspire R7, a laptop with an adjustable display like an all-in-one (update: video)

Acer intros Aspire R7, a laptop with an adjustable display like an all-in-one (update: video)

When Acer plans a global press event, asking journalists to fly in from twelve time zones away, you know it's going to announce more than just some back-to-school PCs. The company just announced the Aspire R7, a 15-inch laptop whose display sits on a flexible "Ezel" hinge, allowing it to be pushed up and back so that it lies nearly flat -- yep, just like an all-in-one desktop. Similar to the Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga line, too, you can flip the screen all the way back so that it faces away from the keyboard, a feature that seems especially well-suited for giving presentations.

In terms of specs, Acer is being a little cagey, but we have learned the R7 has a 15.6-inch, 1080p display with a choice of Core i5 and i7 processors. The whole thing weighs in the neighborhood of five and a half pounds. Also confirmed: it's up for pre-order now for $999, available exclusively at Best Buy in the US. We're told it will ship May 17th. In the meantime, we've got hands-on photos below, and we'll very shortly be adding some first impressions after the break.

Source: Israeli planes hit Syria, target not chemical arms site

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Israeli warplanes have carried out an air strike in Syria, a security source in the region said on Saturday, confirming a disclosure by a U.S. official.

The attack took place on Friday after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's security cabinet approved it in a secret meeting on Thursday night, the source told Reuters on condition of anonymity.

The target was not a Syrian chemical weapons facility, the source said.

Israeli officials have declined all comment on the event, which was reported by American media on Friday.

The Jewish state had previously made clear it was poised to resort to force to prevent advanced Syrian weapons, including President Bashar al-Assad's reputed chemical arsenal, reaching Islamist rebels fighting to topple him or his Hezbollah guerrilla allies in Lebanon.

A U.S. official, who also declined to be identified, told Reuters on Friday the air strike apparently targeted a building.

CNN quoted unnamed U.S. officials as saying Israel most likely conducted the strike "in the Thursday-Friday time frame" and its jets did not enter Syrian air space.

The Israeli air force has so-called "standoff" bombs that coast dozens of kilometers (miles) across ground to their targets once fired. That could, in theory, allow Israel to attack Syria from its own turf or from neighboring Lebanon.

The CNN report said that during the time frame of the attack, the United States had collected information showing Israeli warplanes overflying Lebanon.

Bashar Ja'afari, the Syrian ambassador to the United Nations, told Reuters: "I'm not aware of any attack right now."

In January this year, Israel bombed a convoy in Syria, apparently hitting weapons destined for Hezbollah, according to diplomats, Syrian rebels and security sources in the region.

Israel has not formally confirmed carrying out that strike.

Hezbollah fought a 34-day war with Israel in 2006.

Israeli remains technically at war with neighboring Syria. It captured Syria's Golan Heights in the 1967 Middle East war, built settlements and annexed the land. Yet belligerence was rare and the borderland has remained largely quiet for decades.

But Israeli concerns have risen since Islamist fighters linked to al-Qaeda assumed a prominent role in the armed insurrection against Assad. Israelis believe one in 10 of the rebels is a jihadi who might turn his gun on them once Assad is gone. They also worry that Hezbollah guerrillas allied to Assad could obtain his chemical arsenal and other advanced weaponry.

Genetic factor predicts success of weight-loss surgery

May 2, 2013 ? More than one-third of adults in the United States are obese, and some of these individuals undergo gastric bypass surgery to shed the extra pounds. A genome-wide association study published by Cell Press May 2nd in The American Journal of Human Genetics reveals that the amount of weight loss after this surgery can be predicted in part by a DNA sequence variation found on chromosome 15. The findings explain why the success of gastric bypass surgery varies so widely and could help clinicians identify those who would benefit the most from this type of surgery.

"Surgery is the most effective therapy for severe obesity, but these procedures are invasive, and not all patients get the same degree of benefit," says senior study author Lee Kaplan of Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School. "If we can identify those patients who are likely to lose more weight after surgery from those who do less well, we could help steer patients towards the therapy that best suits them."

Individuals who undergo gastric bypass surgery lose on average about 35%-40% of their initial weight and keep most of this weight off. But the amount of weight lost by different patients varies by a factor of four, and it is not understood what causes this wide difference in response.

To identify specific genetic factors that might play a role, Kaplan and his team examined the genomes of more than 1,000 individuals undergoing gastric bypass surgery. They found that individuals with two copies of a specific variant on chromosome 15 lost on average about 39% of their body weight, whereas those without a copy of this variant lost less than 30% of their body weight. Moreover, the activity of the gene located closest to this variant also predicted weight loss.

"This is the first instance where a genome-wide search has identified genetic predictors of weight loss after gastric bypass surgery," Kaplan says. "Since the genes identified in this report have not previously been known to be involved with body-weight regulation and obesity, their identification may suggest new approaches that could be used to develop novel therapies for obesity, diabetes, and related metabolic disorders."
