SES New York Keynote Speaker Says Internet is TV's Best Friend ...

The Internet didn?t kill TV! According to Mike Proulx, the Internet has become TV?s best friend. Proulx will be the opening keynote speaker at SES New York 2013. The leading event for experienced marketing and advertising professionals will take place March 25-28, 2013, at the New York Marriott Marquis.

Proulx is a Senior Vice President and the Director of Social Media at Hill Holliday, a renowned advertising agency based in Boston, where he leads a team with a focus on cross-channel integration, emerging and social media. He has spent the last 17 years working at various interactive, high-tech, and new media companies on the agency-side, client-side, and as an entrepreneur. He has spoken at dozens of events and has been widely featured in the press including The New York Times, Fast Company, TV Guide, Forbes, BusinessWeek, Mashable, BuzzFeed, and NPR.

Proulx conceived, produced, directed, and co-host the TVnext summit, which took place in early 2011 and 2012. He is the co-author of Social TV, a best-selling book from Wiley publishing that launched in February of 2012. He is also the host of the social TV web series, ?The Pulse on Lost Remote?. He holds a Master?s degree in Computer Information Systems from Bentley University and in 2012 was named the Ad Club?s Media All Star.

His opening keynote is titled, ?Social TV: How Marketers Can Reach and Engage Audiences by Connecting Television to the Web, Social Media, and Mobile.?

Search Engine Watch (SEW) asked Mike Proulx (MP) five questions about his upcoming keynote. Here are his answers:

SEW: How does the convergence of television with the web, social media, and mobile change our behaviors and shake up our long standing beliefs about TV?

MP: There are those who believe that television is a traditional medium with an impending death. The web, social media, and mobile have evolved TV into a multi-screen experience that transcends devices. Not only are we watching more television than ever before, we?re interacting with programming on the ?second screen? in ways that enrich storylines and bring us together to virtually co-view. The modern era of television is a new media that?s more social, more connected, and more portable?and because of this TV is more alive than it?s ever been.

SEW: How has social media created a new and powerful "backchannel" and why does this fuel the renaissance of live broadcasts?

MP: There are a ton of posts happening in social media about any given TV show as it airs. Since Twitter is open and public, it acts as television?s backchannel filled with real-time commentary and conversation ? And it?s not just about TV series but also TV commercials giving producers and marketers instant feedback about their content. Live television events are seeing some of the highest ratings in years and social media brings a level of community and connection to TV watching the likes of which the medium has never before experienced.

SEW: Can you give us some examples of how mobile devices allow us to watch and interact with television whenever and wherever we want?

MP: Tablets, smartphones, and laptops enable television?s portability but it?s apps like HBO Go, ABC Player, Xfinity Remote, and CNN that deliver ?TV? content via those devices. And in the 4G world of mobile, we can watch TV in places once inconceivable. My favorite spot? Laying out on the roof deck on a warm summer night with my iPad in hand streaming HBO?s The Newsroom.

SEW: Why would ?connected TVs? blend web and television content into a unified big screen experience that will bring us back into our living rooms?

MP: Apple TV, Roku, Boxee TV, Google TV, Samsung Smart TVs, etc. stream online video (that was once relegated to our computer screens) onto the ?big screen? of our living rooms. HD YouTube clips suddenly come to life in ways that are far more impactful and dynamic than tiny smartphone screens further blurring the lines of what?s ?TV.? While the notion of TV everywhere lets us watch TV at will regardless of our physical location, the increasingly seamless ability to channel streaming video through the TV set makes the living room that much more compelling.

SEW: With the television landscape changing, why should brands approach the medium once labeled ?traditional? as new media?

MP: TV has become mashed up with the Web, social media, and mobile. Television networks, providers, brands, and agencies must continue to unshackle themselves from dated business and advertising models and rediscover television as a new medium. This means planning television and digital together to tell stories across devices and engage viewers with TV experiences not just TV shows. The speed, scale, and degree of change that has and is happening create enormous opportunity for those brands who have the courage to innovate.

Eating well could help spread disease, water flea study suggests

Feb. 26, 2013 ? Plentiful food can accelerate the spread of infections, Edinburgh scientists have shown in a study of water fleas.

Scientists studying bacterial infections in tiny water fleas have discovered that increasing their supply of food can speed up the spread of infection. They carried out the study to better understand factors that affect how diseases are transmitted.

Researchers found that when a population of parasite-infected water fleas was well-fed, some of them became highly contagious, compared with when food was limited.

Epidemic spread

"If we have an idea of which individuals transmit a lot of disease, we will be better able to stop its spread," said Dr Pedro Vale, School of Biological Sciences.

Scientists say the discovery highlights that, under certain conditions, some individuals may be more prone to spreading disease than others.

Their findings could help inform ways to monitor and control the spread of infections, such as epidemics, in large populations.

Some well-fed water fleas were more infectious than others because they were able to survive for longer with the parasite, giving it more time to multiply.

Parasite growth

Scientists at the University studied the impact of food quantity on the spread of a bacteria parasite that grows in the water flea gut, releasing infectious spores when the water flea dies.

Among those water fleas that were well-fed, some were found to be carrying many more parasites than others, and so were more prone to spreading the disease.

The study, published in Biology Letters, was supported by the Wellcome Trust and the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique in France.

"We know that contact between individuals is important; but now we know that, for some animals at least, nutrition may also play an important role in the spread of disease," said Vale.

Russian Meteorite Exploded With "30 Times the Energy Released by the Hiroshima Atomic Bomb"

Following last week's meteorite explosion, scientists have finally had chance to sit down and figure out exactly what happened?and the results help explain why it shook Russia so hard.

Peter Brown, from the University of Western Ontario, Canada, has been using the extremely low frequency sound waves detected during the incident to work out exactly what happened. The ESA explains:

The object is estimated to have been about 17 m across with a mass of 7,000?10,000 tonnes when it hit atmosphere. It exploded with a force of nearly 500 kilotons of TNT ?- some 30 times the energy released by the Hiroshima atomic bomb ? around 15 to 20 km above the ground.

No wonder reports from Chelyabinsk, the city close to where the meteorite struck, described widespread window breakages and structural damage. [ESA]

NCAA acknowledges 'missteps' in Miami case

The NCAA will proceed in the Miami case 'with information properly obtained by the enforcement staff.'

AP

CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) -- The NCAA said that the information it collected as part of the Miami investigation through depositions performed as part of a former booster's bankruptcy proceedings will not be part of the case against the Hurricanes.

However, the NCAA said the case against Miami will proceed "with information properly obtained by the enforcement staff."

The NCAA released the results of an external probe of how it investigated the Hurricanes on Monday, nearly a month after revealing what it called "a very severe issue of improper conduct." That issue was that the attorney for former booster and convicted Ponzi scheme architect Nevin Shapiro was used to improperly obtain information.

The NCAA said missteps were made. Miami had no immediate comment.

And now that this step is complete, the path is clear -- again -- for Miami to finally receive its notice of allegations from the nearly two-year-old investigation into what rules were broken within athletics. Shapiro said he provided dozens of athletes, coaches and recruits with impermissible benefits for several years, starting in 2002. Shapiro is now serving a 20-year federal prison sentence for his Ponzi scheme, which bilked investors of about $930 million.

The report the NCAA released Monday said Shapiro's attorney, Maria Elena Perez, billed the NCAA for $57,115 worth of work performed from October 2011 through July 2012. The NCAA said it paid about $18,000.

One of the people Perez deposed, former Miami equipment room staffer Sean Allen, said he was not contacted during the NCAA's external probe. Allen provided some testimony that could have damaged Miami, but since the NCAA does not have subpoena power, what he said in that deposition to Perez should never have been part of the case against the Hurricanes.

A transcript of Allen's deposition shows that much of his deposition involved Perez asking questions about Miami athletics, matters which would not have seemed directly involved to Shapiro's bankruptcy case.

The NCAA said Perez offered to use depositions and subpoena power to assist with the case against Miami. The NCAA also said Perez was willing to ask any questions they wanted, but that the enforcement staff was urged by the governing body's legal team not to go forward with the plan to collaborate with Perez.

"We found very clearly the enforcement staff disregarded ... the advice they got from the legal staff," said Kenneth L. Wainstein, the attorney who led the probe that NCAA President Mark Emmert ordered last month.

Chicago woman shot to death the same day sister sat behind ...

some might argue that this underscores Obama?s call for more gun control while in Chicago. But in a city that?s had some of the strongest gun control laws in the United States, this woman?s death speaks to a much more complicated issue ? and one where if I were in Chicago, I?d want to have a gun.

Watch:

FOX 32 ? 18 year old Janay McFarlane was fatally shot just hours after her younger sister Destini Warren attended President Barack Obama?s speech at Hyde Park Career Academy on Friday.

In an emotional interview, McFarlane?s mother Angela Blakely broke down in tears saying her daughter did not deserve to die.

?Every time I think about the way my child died it?s hard to think about her dying like that because she didn?t deserve it, she didn?t deserve dying like that,? said Blakely.

Police say the teen was visiting family and friends in North Chicago when she was shot in the head in an alley. She was reportedly with a friend who family members say was the intended target.

?Janay was a strong person, she was a beautiful person, she was a fun, loving person, she was just an all outgoing kind of person and again as I?ve told others, just being in Janay?s presence is fun, she always has a way to make anybody smile,? said Blakely.

For McFarlane?s younger sister Destini Warren who sat just steps behind President Obama on Friday as he gave a speech about growing violence in Chicago and across the country ? the tragedy is surreal.

?It really hurt me when I find out that it happened to my sister because I was just listening to? I was thinking about her dying when he was saying it and then later on they called me and told me it happened to my sister,? said Warren.

Janay McFarlane attended Hyde Park Career Academy until she gave birth to her son Jayden last year. Family members describe a young woman with a bright future and big dreams abruptly cut short.

Poor stress responses may lead to obesity in children

Feb. 14, 2013 ? Children who overreact to stressors may be at risk of becoming overweight or obese, according to researchers at Penn State and Johns Hopkins University.

"Our results suggest that some children who are at risk of becoming obese can be identified by their biological response to a stressor," said Lori Francis, associate professor of biobehavioral health. "Ultimately, the goal is to help children manage stress in ways that promote health and reduce the risks associated with an over- or under-reactive stress response."

Francis and her colleagues -- Douglas Granger, director of the Center for Interdisciplinary Salivary Bioscience Research at Johns Hopkins University, and Elizabeth Susman, Jean Phillips Shibley Professor of Biobehavioral Health at Penn State -- recruited 43 children ages 5- to 9-years-old and their parents to participate in the study.

To examine the children's reactions to a stressor, the team used the Trier Social Stress Test for Children, which consists of a five-minute anticipation period followed by a 10-minute stress period. During the stress period, the children were asked to deliver a speech and perform a mathematics task. The team measured the children's responses to these stressors by comparing the cortisol content of their saliva before and after the procedure.

The researchers also measured the extent to which the children ate after saying they were not hungry using a protocol known as the Free Access Procedure. The team provided the children with lunch, asked them to indicate their hunger level and then gave them free access to generous portions of 10 snack foods, along with a variety of toys and activities. The children were told they could play or eat while the researchers were out of the room.

The results appeared online in the December 2012 issue of the journal Appetite.

The team found that, on average, the children consumed 250 kilocalories of the snack foods during the Free Access Procedure, with some consuming small amounts (20 kilocalories) and others consuming large amounts (700 kilocalories).

"We found that older kids, ages 8 to 11, who exhibited greater cortisol release over the course of the procedure had significantly higher body-mass indices [BMI] and consumed significantly more calories in the absence of hunger than kids whose cortisol levels rose only slightly in response to the stressor," Francis said. "We also found that kids whose cortisol levels stayed high -- in other words, they had low recovery -- had the highest BMIs and consumed the greatest number of calories in the absence of hunger."

According to Francis, the study suggests that children who have poor responses to stressors already are or are at risk of becoming overweight or obese. In her future work, she plans to examine whether children who live in chronically stressful environments are more susceptible to eating in the absence of hunger and, thus, becoming overweight or obese.

"It is possible that such factors as living in poverty, in violent environments, or in homes where food is not always available may increase eating in the absence of hunger and, therefore, increase children's risk of becoming obese," she said.

Israel: Ex-foreign minister on trial for fraud

JERUSALEM (AP) ? Former Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman went on trial Sunday on fraud and breach of trust charges, pleading innocent in a case that could have deep implications for the makeup of Israel's next government.

Lieberman, the leader of the ultranationalist Yisrael Beitenu Party and a key ally of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, is accused of trying to advance the career of a former diplomat who relayed information to him about a separate criminal investigation into Lieberman's business dealings.

The outcome of the trial will determine whether the hardline Lieberman will be able to return to the Israeli Cabinet or whether his fast-rising political career will come to a premature end.

Lieberman's Yisrael Beitenu ran on a joint list with Netanyahu's Likud Party in a parliamentary election last month. Their combined bloc emerged as the largest faction in the legislature and is expected to be the dominant member of the next ruling coalition. Netanyahu is still negotiating with potential coalition partners.

Lieberman has made clear that he wants to return to the Foreign Ministry, but he is barred from serving in the Cabinet while he is on trial. He has said that if he's convicted, he will resign from parliament. Depending on the severity of the conviction, Lieberman could be barred from seeking office again for years to come. In the meantime, he is allowed to serve in parliament.

The situation has put Netanyahu in a delicate position. With the trial expected to last well into the spring, it is not clear whether Netanyahu is willing or able to hold open the important foreign minister's job for his political ally. If he offers the post to another party, however, his alliance with Lieberman could become strained.

Lieberman and his Yisrael Beitenu faction have accumulated tremendous political power, and he is a key player in the governing coalition Netanyahu is now trying to form. Many speculate he is preparing for a run as prime minister in future elections.

Netanyahu has been serving as acting foreign minister while he puts together a new coalition. He has until mid-March to form the government.

Lieberman showed little emotion as he arrived at the Jerusalem courthouse on Sunday. His lawyers said they would seek a quick resolution to the case. The trial is scheduled to last until May at the least.

The Soviet-born Lieberman is one of the most contentious and polarizing figures in Israeli politics. Yisrael Beitenu is especially popular among immigrants from the former Soviet Union. With a tough-talking message that has questioned the loyalty of Israel's Arab minority, criticized the Palestinians and confronted Israel's foreign critics, he has at times alienated Israel's allies while becoming an influential voice in Israeli politics.

Lieberman pushed a series of legislative proposals that critics said were anti-Arab, including a failed attempt to require Israelis to sign a loyalty oath or have their citizenship revoked. He also embarrassed Netanyahu in the past by expressing contrasting views to that of the government, including skepticism over the chances of reaching peace with the Palestinians.

Lieberman was largely sidelined in Israel's dealings with the United States. Netanyahu himself or the outgoing defense minister, Ehud Barak, usually handled ties with Washington instead.

Former Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon, who was unceremoniously dropped from Lieberman's faction list just weeks before elections and who will likely testify against Lieberman in his trial, was quoted by the Maariv daily as saying that Lieberman is unsuited to serve as the nation's top diplomat because he did not win the international community's trust.

"If after four years of service this is the result, he should go for the Finance Ministry post," Ayalon was quoted as saying.

Florida Baseball Evens Things Up with Duke

After he had just notched his first career win in his first career appearance, freshman Parker Danciu felt the need to introduce himself formally as he walked up to the media contingent awaiting him on Saturday.

?Hi, I?m Parker Danciu,? he said with a smile.

Less than an hour earlier, Danciu had wrapped up his official introduction to the Gator Nation, as Danciu tossed 3.2 scoreless innings in helping the Gators put away the Duke Blue Devils for UF?s first victory of the season.

?We got off to a good start today,? coach Kevin O?Sullivan said after his team?s victory.

?Overall, it was our first win and we certainly have a lot of things to work on, but I was awfully pleased with our pitching. We had two freshmen go out there for 7.2 innings and gave up two runs on four hits, so it?s good to get those guys out there.?

The other freshman O?Sullivan was speaking of was 6?6 right-hander Tucker Simpson, who pitched well in his first career start. The Alabama-native pitched three hitless innings before running into a bit of trouble in the fourth.

After giving up a Mike Rosenfeld single to start the inning, Simpson promptly gave up a two-run home run to Chris Marconcini. With Duke?s deficit cut to one run, O?Sullivan turned to Danciu, who gave up only two hits against 14 batters.

After a stagnant opener, the Gators? collective bats were a little livelier on Saturday, sparked by Casey Turgeon?s three-run homer in the first inning. Turgeon?s screaming shot kicked off the fair side of the right field foul pole, bringing a dose of confidence to UF?s batting order as well as their freshman pitchers.

?Casey [Turgeon] put a really good swing on the ball and the ball stayed straight,? O?Sullivan said. ?From our angle, it looked like it wanted to take a right turn, but it stayed straight luckily for us. He?s hitting third for a reason and those first two guys got on base and did a nice job. ?

?The pitcher was trying to throw strikes, and I went up with one thing on my mind: look for that pitch down the middle,? Turgeon said. ?He gave it to me, and I put a good swing on it. Coming out here and scoring a run in the first inning pumped our team up and got us going for the rest of the game.?

The Gators would score again in the sixth inning when a Cody Dent sacrifice fly to deep left allowed Taylor Gushue to score from third.

With the Gators up by two runs late in the eighth inning, O?Sullivan called in sophomore closer Johnny Magliozzi who quickly dispatched of Reed Anthes, before retiring the side in the ninth. It was Magliozzi?s first career save.

?I thought Johnny Magliozzi threw about as well as he has thrown since he?s been here,? O?Sullivan said.

With the series all squared, the Gators will throw out Justin Shafer on Sunday in hopes of taking the series. The gators received an added bonus with Danciu?s performance as they go into the series finale with an abundance of fresh arms.

?Shafer?s starting (on Sunday) ? I feel really good about the way he?s been throwing the ball,? O?Sullivan said.

?We also got those three freshman ? Vinson, Carmichael and Handhold who haven?t thrown yet, so I feel good about what we have left on the mound.?

The Gators will host Duke for the series finale at 12 p.m. Sunday at McKethan Stadium.

Obama's cybersecurity order explained

Suzanne Choney , NBC News ? ? ? 14 hrs.

The president's executive order on cybersecurity is being praised by many because it says that ? in the event of a digital breach that could affect the nation's telecommunications, electrical, water, utility and other key infrastructure operations ? government agencies must share data with private industry as soon as they can.

Previously, government agencies were encouraged to do so, but this order on improving critical infrastructure cybersecurity requires it.

"Our enemies are also seeking the ability to sabotage our power grid, our financial institutions, and our air traffic control systems," President Barack Obama said in his State of the Union address Tuesday. "We cannot look back years from now and wonder why we did nothing in the face of real threats to our security and our economy."

'Near real-time sharing'
The order can broken down into two components. First, it expands what have been considered "voluntary" efforts to share information by federal agencies when there's been a breach or hack, to doing so in "near real-time sharing of cyber-threat information to assist participating critical infrastructure companies," such as utilities or telecommunications companies "in their cyber-protection efforts."

"The order says there shall be no cult of secrecy regarding security threats," Bart A. Lazar, data privacy and security attorney with Seyfarth Shaw LLC, told NBC News Wednesday.

"So, for example, if the federal government discovers, or becomes aware, that U.S. government facilities and computer systems are being hacked, or (there are) attempted hacks, in a particular way, they should let private industry members of the nation's critical infrastructure know so they can defend themselves properly."

A recent "zombie alert" practical joke highlights the importance of the systematic cooperation, says James Barnett, a retired U.S. Navy admiral and former chief of public safety and homeland security for the Federal Communications Commission. Hackers cracked the Emergency Alert System in Montana, warning citizens of attacking zombie hordes. Though it was not an act of terrorism, the false message, which spread to other states, demonstrates a real risk.

"Somebody hacked in and did a very good job of making it sound real," Barnett told NBC News. "The problem was bad computer hygiene. [Admins] didn't change the passwords, so it was easy for someone to break into it."

Better, stronger securitystandards
The second initiative in the president's mandate directs the National Institute of Standards and Technology, part of the U.S. Department of Commerce, to work with "critical infrastructure stakeholders" for the "development of a framework of cybersecurity practices to reduce cyber-risks to critical infrastructure."

The first thing NIST will take on will be gathering information from organizations on "their current risk management practices," including " standards, guidelines and best practices; and other industry practices," the agency said in a release Wednesday.

NIST will hold workshops "over the next several months to collect additional input and will complete the framework within one year."

What it doesn't mean
The executive order doesn't mean you'll personally be getting an alert when a government website has been hacked or information stolen from it.

"For the average American, some of this will run in the background," said Barnett, who is now with the Venable law firm, which specializes in intellectual property and regulatory affairs.

Evidence of a security breach "might show up as their computer running slow. Or maybe an individual gets contacted by their bank saying 'We need to send you a new debit or credit card because this one's been breached,'" he said.

The president's order also does not mandate companies that operate the nation's infrastructure to participate in kind by reporting breaches to the federal government. That issue is a contentious one, because it raises privacy concerns.

"The executive order certainly does not exclude a flow of information the other way, although it seems to maintain it as a voluntary thing," Jeffrey Hermes, director of the Digital Media Law project at the Harvard-based Berkman Center for Internet & Society, told NBC News.

Some legislation required
Gen. Keith Alexander, head of the U.S. Cyber Command, told reporters Wednesday that he considers the executive order "only a down payment on what we need to address the threat," and that it's "not a substitute for legislation."

But which legislation? Perhaps it's the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA), re-introduced Wednesday by Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., and Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger, D-Md., but that may not pass easily.

According to a press release announcing the bill, the legislation aims to:

• "Allow the Federal government to provide classified cyber threat information to the private sector to help American companies better protect themselves from advanced cyber threats;
  
• "Empower American businesses to share cyber threat information with others in the private sector and enable the private sector to share information with the government on a purely voluntary basis, all while providing strong protections for privacy and civil liberties;
  
• "Provides (sic) liability protection for companies acting in good faith to protect their own networks or share threat information."
  

Yet while the bill does seem to share certain goals outlined in the president's mandate, CISPA was shot down previously over privacy concerns, and is likely to meet fierce opposition again.

"CISPA once again allows companies to share sensitive and personal American Internet data with the government, including the National Security Agency and other military agencies," said American Civil Liberties Union legislative counsel Michelle Richardson, whose group nevertheless praises the president's executive order.

While it's perhaps easy for a president to mandate that government agencies report problems for the benefit of companies, the notion that companies should report problems for the benefit of the government comes with far more challenges and concerns.

At N.Y. fashion shows, black jacket becomes 'it' piece for fall

NEW YORK (Reuters) - The myriad designs parading on the runways of New York Fashion Week converged on one standout style-savvy look for fall and winter 2013: the black jacket.

Ubiquitous in the latest collections, the jacket appeared with a boxy silhouette, swingy lines or oversized shoulders, but the black was non-negotiable. It was by far the dominant color among the hundreds of fall and winter women's collections unveiled by designers at the semi-annual extravaganza.

New York Fashion Week, which is followed by similar events in London, Paris and Milan, concludes on Thursday with shows by Calvin Klein and Ralph Lauren.

In shows this week, the black jacket appeared tuxedo-style with contrasting satin lapels, as a bolero, in edgy motorcycle cuts, playfully cropped at the waist, as a tailored blazer, as a blouson and with ruffles at the waist. Among designers highlighting the piece were Nicole Miller, Yigal Azrouel and Kenneth Cole.

The black jacket was paired with skirts, most of them pleated or pencil, and trousers that veered between slim and slouchy.

Fur was omnipresent - in narrow neck pieces, stoles, snoods and wraps and adorning everything from anoraks to evening gowns.

Michael Kors, who showed his collection on Wednesday, slashed and belted a black mink stole, and his models donned over-sized fur hats with ear flaps.

Designer Carolina Herrera dyed fur wraps and collars in eye-catching reds and greens. Douglas Hannant, who also showed on Wednesday, trimmed a women's tuxedo with a mink collar.

"Furs are so prevalent, it's unbelievable," said David Wolfe, creative director of The Doneger Group fashion consultants.

"It's luxury and drama and glamour, and it's escapism because we're still not out of the economic woods," he said. "This is kind of kidding yourself that everything is the way it was in the '80s when times were good."

The fall and winter collections were unexpectedly lush, said luxury consultant Robert Burke.

"It's not exactly a boom time period, but designers are designing like it is," he said.

Evening wear featured rich textiles and heavy ornamentation, especially in collections by Tadashi Shoji and Pamella Roland who took inspiration from old St. Petersburg in Russia and Naeem Khan who looked to 1920s Art Deco.

"If I'm a designer and I'm in a higher-end market, how do I differentiate myself from fast fashion? It's the ornamentation," said retail consultant Tom Julian.

Leather made a strong showing - cut into lacy evening dresses, folded into pleated trousers, trimmed into skinny leggings and even feathered into hemline flounces. Shearling was popular too.

Layering played a big role. Designers put short jackets over long shirts, letting the tails hang out the back, and brought out plenty of vests, from biker to brocade, as well as hoods.

"I was intrigued by the hoodie that gets layered with the cardigan that gets layered with the tunic that gets layered with the slicker," said Julian.

Necklines were high. Turtlenecks were popular, as were stand-up collars and bows tied at the front of the neck.

Accompanying all that black was gray, in versions dubbed fog, smoke, slate, pewter, gun metal, charcoal, lead and mercury.

For those craving a bit of color, a dark red described variously as oxblood, Bordeaux, Windsor wine, Merlot and wineberry made a subtle appearance, as did deep greens described as moss, malachite and viridian and purples named aubergine, amethyst, amaranth and black plum.

"Women who pass on the bright color are going to bite on these more sophisticated, darker, muted colors," said Wolfe.

Yahoo CEO says Microsoft search pact is not delivering expected results

CBR Staff Writer Published 13 February 2013

Yahoo signed a 10-year search agreement with Microsoft in 2010.

Yahoo chief executive, Marissa Mayer, said the firm's search collaboration with Microsoft is not giving the revenue boost or improvement in market share the company expected.

Mayer said at the Goldman Sachs Technology and Internet Conference in San Francisco that "one of the points of the alliance is that we collectively want to grow share rather than just trading share with each other."

According to Fox News, Mayer said that they "need to see monetization working better because they know that it can and they have seen other competitors in the space illustrate how well it can work."

In 2010, Yahoo signed a 10-year search agreement with Microsoft in an effort to challenge its rival Google.

Yahoo reported a 2% rise in its revenue to $1.35bn for the fourth quarter of 2012, compared to $1.32bn it reported for the corresponding quarter in 2011.

Last week, Yahoo signed a global agreement with Google for contextual advertisements on some of its websites in order to generate more revenues.

Under the deal, Yahoo will use Google's AdSense for Content and Google's AdMob services to display ads on its various Yahoo Web properties and certain co-branded sites.

NYC Valentine's Day sewage tour back by 'demand'

NEW YORK (AP) ? Lovers of the unusual are getting another chance to impress their Valentines this year in New York City.

The Department of Environmental Protection is again offering Valentine's Day tours of the Newtown Creek sewage treatment plant in Brooklyn's Greenpoint section.

The DEP says it's offering three tours this year due to "overwhelming demand."

The 9:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. tours were quickly filled. So another was added at 11 a.m. Thursday.

Highlights include the plant's giant egg-shaped digesters, which break down noxious waste into harmless sludge and gas.

During last year's tour, the plant's gung-ho superintendent warned the visitors a digester egg was about to emit a foul odor. It didn't disappoint.

Implants make light work of fixing broken bones

Monday, February 11, 2013

Artificial bone, created using stem cells and a new lightweight plastic, could soon be used to heal shattered limbs.

The use of bone stem cells combined with a degradable rigid material that inserts into broken bones and encourages real bone to re-grow has been developed at the Universities of Edinburgh and Southampton.

Researchers have developed the material with a honeycomb scaffold structure that allows blood to flow through it, enabling stem cells from the patient's bone marrow to attach to the material and grow new bone. Over time, the plastic slowly degrades as the implant is replaced by newly grown bone.

Scientists developed the material by blending three types of plastics. They used a pioneering technique to blend and test hundreds of combinations of plastics, to identify a blend that was robust, lightweight, and able to support bone stem cells. Successful results have been shown in the lab and in animal testing with the focus now moving towards human clinical evaluation.

The study, published in the journal Advanced Functional Materials, was funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council.

This new discovery is the result of a seven-year partnership between the University of Southampton and the University of Edinburgh.

Richard Oreffo, Professor of Musculoskeletal Science at the University of Southampton, comments: "Fractures and bone loss due to trauma or disease are a significant clinical and socioeconomic problem. This collaboration between chemistry and medicine has identified unique candidate materials that support human bone stem cell growth and allow bone formation. Our collaborative strategy offers significant therapeutic implications."

Professor Mark Bradley, of the University of Edinburgh's School of Chemistry, adds: "We were able to make and look at a hundreds of candidate materials and rapidly whittle these down to one which is strong enough to replace bone and is also a suitable surface upon which to grow new bone.

"We are confident that this material could soon be helping to improve the quality of life for patients with severe bone injuries, and will help maintain the health of an ageing population."
