New iron catalyst promises green future for hydrogenation

June 27, 2013 ? A new iron nanoparticle catalyst developed by researchers in Japan and Canada promises to drastically improve the efficiency of hydrogenation, a key chemical process used in a wide array of industrial applications. Cleaner, safer and cheaper than traditional rare metal-based catalysts, the new, more environmentally friendly technique marks a breakthrough for the emerging field of green chemistry.

Hydrogenation, the reaction of molecular hydrogen with another compound or element, is one of the world's most highly studied chemical reactions, with industrial applications ranging from petrochemistry, to food production, to pharmaceuticals.

Most such applications of hydrogenation use rare metal catalysts such as palladium or platinum to speed up chemical reactions. While highly efficient, these metals are expensive and limited in supply, posing environmental and economic challenges.

To get around these problems, researchers at McGill University, the RIKEN Center for Sustainable Resource Science and the Institute for Molecular Science developed their new technique using iron, a much less expensive and far more abundant element. Iron has been ruled out in the past due to the fact that it rusts in the presence of oxygen and water, negating its catalytic effect.

The new technique, described in a paper published in the journal Green Chemistry, produces iron nanoparticles directly inside a polymer matrix, which protects the iron surface from rusting while allowing the reactants to reach it and react. The resulting system of polymer-stabilized iron nanoparticles in water is the first of its kind: a safe, cheap and environmentally friendly catalyst system for hydrogenation reactions.

"Our aim is to develop iron-based catalysts not only for hydrogenation but also a variety of organic transformations that can be used in future industrial applications," explains RIKEN researcher Dr. Yoichi M. A. Yamada, one of the authors of the paper. "If rare metal-based catalysts can be replaced by iron-based ones, then we can overcome our costly and dangerous dependency on rare metals."

AP NewsBreak: Marine murder conviction overturned

SAN DIEGO (AP) ? The military's highest court has overturned a murder conviction against a Camp Pendleton Marine in one of the most significant cases against American troops from the Iraq war.

The Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces on Wednesday threw out the conviction of Sgt. Lawrence Hutchins III.

According to the ruling posted on the court's website, the judges agreed with Hutchins, who claimed his constitutional rights were violated when he was held in solitary confinement without access to a lawyer for seven days during his interrogation.

Hutchins led an eight-man squad accused of kidnapping a retired Iraqi policeman from his home in April 2006, marching him to a ditch and shooting him to death in Hamdania.

The squad's other members served less than 18 months.

How to Talk to Your Kids About Their Eating Habits: Very Carefully

Weight is never an easy subject, but it can be especially dicey when parents broach the issue of eating habits and weight with their teens.

?No girl ever lost weight because her mother told her she was fat,? a friend advised me when I was fretting about my teen?s size.

It turns out she was right, according to a study by University of Minnesota researchers appearing in JAMA Pediatrics. Based on a large sample of teens and parents, the scientists found that kids whose parents talked to them about eating by focusing on the children?s weight or size ? telling them either that they were heavy or could get fat if they continued to eat the way they did ? were more likely to adopt unhealthy heating behaviors such as going on extreme diets, fasting or using laxatives, or pick up eating disorders like binge eating. But kids whose parents focused only on how to eat healthy and avoided judgmental statements about their weight were less likely to have eating problems. And overweight kids whose moms talked to them about healthy eating had far fewer problems than those whose mothers did not discuss eating in a healthy way.

Around 60% of mothers and fathers with overweight teens talked to their children about their weight, but only 40% of the adolescents who had conversations centered around healthy eating turned to unhealthy eating behaviors compared to 64% of those whose parents focused on their weight. The effect was especially strong when fathers were involved in these discussions with their daughters, and concentrated on weight as opposed to talking about healthy eating in general. ?Dads should never comment on girls? or daughters? bodies,? says Mary Jo Rapini, co-author of ?Start Talking: A Girl?s Guide for You and Your Mom about Health, Sex, or Whatever?? Instead, she suggests, fathers should concentrate on their daughters? skills or interests, and that can help them ?feel loved by their dad and confident enough to work on their body issues,? she says. According to the study?s lead author Jerica Berge, the results should be an eye-opener for both parents and doctors, who are often asked by worried moms and dads, ?How do I talk to my kid about weight or eating behaviors??

MORE: Why Families Who Eat Together Are Healthier

The answer, she says, is to avoid bringing attention to how your child looks or how much they weigh; instead, talk to them about being healthy and don?t compare them to others or to an ideal, reference weight. ?It should never be about how they look because we all come in different shapes and sizes,? says Dr. Dyan Hes, a New York City pediatrician and obesity expert who was not involved in the study.

That?s easier said than done, however, since such approaches could lead children, especially teens, to tune out. ?Frame it in a way that gets them excited,? says Laura Williams, an exercise specialist and founder of GirlsGoneSporty.com.? ?Want to climb the highest peak in the state? Then we need to start training and eat the right fuel ? more fruits and vegetables, lean proteins and whole grains.?

MORE: Do Teen Weight Loss Programs Work Better Without Mom or Dad?

Giving adolescents an immediate goal, or reason to improve their eating habits, can be an important motivator, says Lisa Gatti, nutrition counselor and founder of culinarytherapyonline.com. If they care about grades, she says, ?speak to how eating healthy foods will help to think more clearly and say focused.? The same strategy may work if your teen is a runner or plays sports ? eating nutritious meals can help them perform better on the field.

It?s all about presenting the importance of eating well and being healthy in terms that are relevant to a teen?s own needs and interests. And, say experts, it?s helpful for them to understand that whatever they decide to eat, and the consequences of those decisions, are under their control. Lectures on what they are doing wrong, and forcing them to change how they eat ?because it?s good for them? may backfire and drive them to pick up even unhealthier habits. ?Nobody likes to be controlled,? says Nancy Anderson Dolan, clinical director of WiseHeart Wellness. ?Everybody likes to be understood and assisted.?

MORE: Meal Replacements May Not Help Teens Keep Weight Off

Such conversations are certainly tricky, and the latest results suggest the stakes are higher than parents might have thought. Given that the study found a slightly greater effect on changing children?s eating habits when fathers were involved in the discussions, Berge says ideally both parents should share the responsibility. But that?s only if?and this is a big if? both mom and dad can really focus on healthy eating and not be judgmental about size. If that?s not possible, says Dr. Elizabeth Lombardo, a clinical psychologist, physical therapist and the author of ?A Happy You,? ?Choose the parent whose interactions evoke the least amount of stress and who demonstrates healthy eating themselves.?

Experts also say weight conversations should not be any one child?s domain. A healthy lifestyle ? that includes a nutritious diet and plenty of regular exercise for everyone ? should be a family undertaking. One effective way of improving teens? eating habits is to shop and cook with them, and organize family outings that keep them physically active.

Above all, set a good example.? If you want a child who eats right and exercises, do it yourself. Children learn most from watching what you do, not what you say. My overweight mom, for example, never let me have more than one cookie? so I wouldn?t get ?fat.?? But I knew where she hid her chocolate bars, and I sneaked them from her stash. Mom is gone, but the legacy of those forbidden sweets still makes losing weight a challenge. ?Parents must look in the mirror first,? says Dolan ?and deal with their own issues, both about weight prejudice and health habits.? That can go a long way toward making conversations about healthy eating with their own children more productive.

Ouya's $100 video game console is now available (whether you ...

The Ouya team generated quite a buzz last year when they promised to deliver a hackable, Android-powered video game console for $99. Almost a year later, and after raising millions of dollars through a successful crowd-funding campaign and outside investors, the team has delivered on its promise? sort of.

You can now buy an Ouya game console from Amazon, Best Buy, Target, or the Ouya website for $99.99, among other places (although Amazon is already out of stock). But early reviews of the device have been mixed, at best ? and some backers of the company?s Kickstarter campaign are still waiting for their units to arrive.

The Ouya is a small box with an NVIDIA Tegra 3 ARM Cortex-A9 quad-core processor, 1GB of RAM, and 8GB of storage. It comes with a wireless controller, and connects to your TV via HDMI and to the internet over WiFi or Ethernet.

While the Tegra 3 was pretty much the best available ARM-based chip available when the Ouya project was announced, it?s starting to look a little dated. But it?s still possible to run many excellent Android apps on a Tegra 3-powered device, and Ouya says there are 170 games available for the game console at launch.

Folks who?ve been testing the platform, on the other hand, say there are few particularly?good?games at the moment ? unless you count emulators, which let you play classic console games.

Early testers also had problems with buttons sticking on the wireless controller, but Ouya has promised to fix those problems before the retail launch, so hopefully the new controllers are better.

Some folks have also complained about slow or unresponsive customer support, although arguably people who received units after backing the Kickstare campaign aren?t ?customers,? so much as funders. But you?d think the company would want to keep happy the people who were enthusiastic enough to pay for a device that might never see the light of day.

You can also use an Ouya as a media center device ? eventually it?s expected to support the XBMC media center. For now you can install a few media apps from the Ouya store including TuneIn Radio and Plex.

But if you?re looking to use the device primarily as a game console, it sounds like the Ouya platform shows promise? but might not deliver on all that promise just yet. On the other hand, if you?re looking for a relatively inexpensive Android-powered device that comes with a wireless controller and which you can root or otherwise modify, $100 isn?t a lot of money for a device with these features.

Update: Android Police has a detailed review of the final hardware. While the UI performance is better than the game controller seems to be improved, they?re still unimpressed with the overall package.

Late auto-loan payments edged higher in 1Q

LOS ANGELES (AP) ? Banks are increasingly extending auto-loan financing to borrowers with less-than-sterling credit, a trend that's contributing to a higher rate of missed loan payments.

The rate of U.S. auto-loan payments late by 60 days or more rose to 0.88 percent in the first three months of the year, credit reporting agency TransUnion said Tuesday.

That's up from 0.82 percent in the first quarter last year, but down from 1 percent in the last three months of 2012, the firm said.

Among subprime borrowers, or those whom lenders deem a higher credit risk because of their track record of managing debt, the delinquency rate jumped to 5.5 percent in the first quarter from 5.09 percent a year earlier.

Steady job gains, low interest rates and improving consumer confidence have helped spur U.S. sales of cars and trucks. Many Americans are moving to replace older vehicles after holding back on purchases for several years following the last recession. Vehicle sales climbed 8 percent in May to 1.4 million.

Lenders have responded, making loans available to more borrowers, even those with less-than-perfect credit.

"Lenders have determined that their portfolios can handle additional risk at this point in the business cycle," said Peter Turek, automotive vice president at TransUnion.

As lenders continue to increase financing to high-risk borrowers, there's a greater chance those borrowers could fall behind on payments, Turek added.

Subprime borrowers accounted for 15 percent of all U.S. auto loans in the first quarter, unchanged from a year earlier. That share of all auto loans remains smaller than it was in the first three months of 2009, when subprime loans made up 20.3 percent of all auto loans, according to TransUnion.

All told, auto loan volume grew 6.1 percent in the first quarter versus the same period last year.

As lending has picked up, so have average balances on auto loans.

One reason for that is that banks are making more auto loans, which tend to have higher balances early on, as it typically takes several years for borrowers to pay them down.

For the January-March period, the average balance of a U.S. auto loan was $13,260, up 4 percent from $12,755 in the same period last year, the firm said.

Among subprime borrowers, the average auto loan balance grew 6.6 percent to $12,006 in the first quarter.

EU provisionally OKs Serbia membership talks

BRUSSELS (AP) ? European Union nations have provisionally agreed to open membership talks with Serbia by January at the latest, acknowledging Belgrade's efforts to improve relations with breakaway Kosovo and push through overall reforms.

EU ministers agreed on the recommendation late Tuesday, said Ireland's Deputy Foreign Minister Eamon Gilmore. A summit of government leaders starting Thursday is overwhelmingly expected to endorse it.

The move rewards Serbia for an agreement normalizing relations with Kosovo, a potentially landmark deal that could end years of tensions between the Balkan antagonists.

Serbia's neighbor Croatia will join the EU on July 1.

Serbia hopes that the talks will pave the way for foreign investment and unblock access to the bloc's pre-entry funds.

Rescue helicopter crashes in India, killing 8

GAUCHAR, India (AP) ? An air force helicopter returning from a rescue mission in flood-ravaged northern India hit the side of a mountain and fell into a river on Tuesday, killing eight people, officials said.

Bad weather has hampered rescue efforts in Uttarakhand state, where more than 1,000 people are believed to have died and thousands of others remain stranded in remote areas from landslides and floods triggered by torrential monsoon rains. Other air force helicopters were unable to take off due to poor visibility, Group Capt. Sandeep Mehta said.

The air force has ordered an inquiry into the crash in the temple town of Kedarnath, said Priya Joshi, an air force spokeswoman. Five crew members and three civilians were on board the helicopter, she said.

Joshi said 45 aircraft were involved in rescue and relief operations in Uttarakhand.

Air force chief N.A.K. Browne assured flood survivors on Monday that the air force would rescue everyone stranded in Uttarakhand, but bad weather and poor visibility has led to the frequent suspension of evacuation flights.

Authorities also prepared Tuesday to cremate the bodies of hundreds of people who perished in the floods. Truckloads of wooden logs were loaded onto air force transport planes and flown to Kedarnath to be used in a mass funeral and cremation for the flood victims.

Troops are also trying to rescue about 5,000 people who remain stranded in Badrinath town eight days after the torrential rains began.

Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde said Monday that the death toll in the Uttarakhand floods would exceed 1,000.

So far the army has rescued about 90,000 people from hundreds of villages and small towns hit by the floods. Entire towns were flattened by landslides that were followed by floods. Roads were washed away and telecommunication links snapped, cutting off many parts of the state.

In the town of Gauchar, which is the center of rescue and relief operations, authorities made arrangements to send about a dozen Hindu priests to Kedarnath.

At least 600 bodies were found buried in silt in and around the Kedarnath temple, one of Hinduism's most revered pilgrim sites.

Health experts say there are dangers of disease outbreaks unless the bodies are cremated. Medical teams are taking DNA samples and photographs of the unidentified bodies before they are cremated.

The federal health ministry said Tuesday it has sent more than 1 million chlorine tablets to purify drinking water supplies in Uttarakhand. The ministry has also sent several teams of doctors to help flood survivors.

Every summer, hundreds of thousands of devout Hindus make a pilgrimage known as the Char Dham Yatra to four temple towns in Uttarakhand. The pilgrims usually return before monsoon rains begin in July. But this year they were caught by unprecedented heavy rains and flash floods.

Ford deploys robot drivers to test vehicle durability (video)

Self-driving cars are nothing new: Google, Lexus and Audi have all showcased the technology in prototype form before. But these autonomous vehicles are all designed to operate on public roads and handle unforeseen obstacles using advanced sensors like LIDAR. What about cars operating in a controlled environment like a private track? Ford engineers answered this question when they partnered with Autonomous Solutions Inc. to develop robot drivers to test vehicle durability. The GPS-based system (accurate to one inch) allows up to eight autonomous cars to operate simultaneously on the same track.

Durability testing is traditionally rough on both test vehicles and human drivers. The new technology, which is three years in the making, is now being used to test upcoming models (like Ford's 2014 Transit van). It enables testing 24 hours a day, seven days a week with perfect repeatability. Vehicles send their position and speed to a central computer (monitored by a single person) via a low-latency wireless connection and receive instructions on what maneuvers to perform. This is actually quite similar to what Anki Drive is doing with toy cars. Motors control the steering wheel, gear shifter and pedals to simulate a driver following a predetermined route.

Ford plans to equip the cars with more sensors (such as radar and cameras) to allow a mix of human and robot drivers to operate safely on the same track together. Check out the gallery below and the company's video and PR after the break.

Bible-burning Egyptian cleric jailed for 11 years

CAIRO (Reuters) - A Cairo court sentenced an Egyptian Muslim preacher to 11 years in jail for blasphemy on Sunday for burning a Bible during a protest last year outside the U.S. embassy.

Convictions for insulting Islam are common in Egypt, ruled by Islamists after the overthrow of President Hosni Mubarak in 2011, but more rare for cases involving the minority Christian faith.

Ahmed Mohamed Mahmoud, known as Abu Islam, who runs his own religious television channel, led a demonstration in September against a U.S.-made anti-Islam video posted on the Internet.

His son was sentenced to eight years in jail for the same offence. Both will remain at liberty pending appeal.

The video's depiction of the Prophet Mohammad as a fool and sexual deviant set off anti-American protests across the Muslim world.

The film was later attributed to a Californian born in Egypt's Coptic Christian community, a group that has expressed concern about the rise of Islamist political power.

Excessive salt consumption appears to be bad for your bones

June 17, 2013 ? A type of drug normally used to treat heart failure and high blood pressure helped prevent weight gain and other complications related to a high-fat diet in an animal study.

The results were presented today at The Endocrine Society's 95th Annual Meeting in San Francisco.

Weight gain, especially around the waist, and high blood pressure, combine with other abnormalities to form a cluster of diseases known as metabolic syndrome, which increases the risk of heart disease, diabetes and other serious illnesses. With obesity rates climbing in developed countries throughout the world, medical researchers are trying to find new drugs to prevent metabolic syndrome from occurring.

One new and promising approach involves blocking the action of aldosterone and glucocorticoids, hormones synthesized in the adrenal cortex of mammals. These hormones are capable of activating the mineralocorticoid receptors (MRs). MRs are ligand-activated transcription factors that play a key role in many physiological and pathological processes occurring in several tissues and organs, including kidney, heart and adipose tissue.

Drugs that prevent MRs from reacting to their ligands are known as MR antagonists. In this study, investigators examined, in mice fed a high-fat diet, the effects of drospirenone and spironolactone, two MR antagonists currently used in clinical practice that have been previously shown to modulate adipocyte differentiation in vitro. They found that the drugs had several benefits, including helping to prevent weight gain and to increase the number of energy-burning fat cells. Animals that received MR antagonists combined with a high-fat diet exhibited more brown fat cells interspersed within white fat tissue, compared to untreated controls. The so-called good kind of fat, brown fat cells actually burn energy to help prevent weight gain, while white fat does the opposite, storing energy as more fat cells.

In order to evaluate the expansion of brown adipose tissue, the investigators also used special imaging tests to measure the percentage of water in fat cells which, at high levels, indicates the presence of brown fat.

In addition, these MR antagonists were effective in reducing the high levels of blood glucose related to impaired glucose tolerance, which can be a precursor to diabetes.

"These data open new unexpected applications of MR antagonists in the treatment of obesity and its metabolic complications, since their use in animal models reverses the metabolic dysfunction induced by a high-fat diet, promoting the activation of brown-like fat in classical white fat depots," said study lead author Andrea Armani, Ph.D., a post-doctoral fellow in obesity research. "Indeed, MR antagonism has promise as a novel approach to treat metabolic syndrome."

The study was coordinated by Massimiliano Caprio, MD, PhD, at the IRCCS San Raffaele Pisana Research Center in Rome, Italy. Previous research by Dr. Caprio's laboratory showed that blocking MR expression in human and animal precursor fat cells prevented them from developing further. These findings led the investigators to design the current study to examine the effects of MR antagonists on adipose tissue and glucose metabolism under obesogenic conditions.

The IRCCS San Raffaele Pisana (Ricerca Corrente); the University of Rome; and the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs supported the study.
