Kinect Reveals The Next Job To Be Replaced By Computers: Sports Coaches

NBA-Baller-Beats-for-Xbox-360"It's just as good as getting a personal instructor," says basketball coach Julio Agosto, speaking on the Xbox Kinect's new dribbling game, NBA Baller Beats. Agosto, an?Emerald City Academy Basketball coach?and father to b-ball Internet phenom, Jashaun Agosto, tells TechCrunch that Kinect's digital eye is able to recognize and reward enough advanced dribbling skills that the new NBA game could replace human instruction at his basketball camp (at least the dribbling portion). This latest Microsoft development brings one more job closer to the chopping block of skills that can be done cheaper and more conveniently by a computer: sports and fitness coaches. Baller Beats plays a lot like Rock Band?but with a basketball;?gamers are rewarded for dribbling to a (rockin') beat, with the familiar vertical scroll of colorful, raised buttons indicating when users should bounce the ball, and in what direction around the body.

Alex Frey: Should Facebook Be at $60?

What effect did the NASDAQ's market "glitch" have on the bungled Facebook IPO?

According to the academically popular efficient market hypothesis (EMH) developed by Nobel-prize winning economists, the answer is obvious: none.

But that is probably wrong.

According to the academic theory of markets, traders rationally estimate a company's value and are willing to buy if the share price falls below their estimate and sell if it goes above their estimate. This produces a nice stable equilibrium price that is immune from any glitches. If the majority of market participants think a stock is worth $35 and a market-maker artificially "pushes" it down to $30, demand will kick in from buyers that will bring it back to the $35 level.

The idea that there is greater demand for something at lower prices than at higher prices makes sense for most categories of "things." Take ice cream. If ice cream is selling for $1 a gallon, I'm going to demand a lot of it. If it's selling at $100 a gallon, not so much.

But any trader worth anything will tell you that things don't always work like this for stocks.

Consider a little "thought experiment" about what might have happened to FB if NASDAQ's system hadn't fallen apart in the first hour.

Satisfied that they were entering into a liquid market, traders might have aggressively bought FB immediately after its open in anticipation of a first-day pop (instead of staying away because of uncertainty). That would have sent the stock higher intra-day. Retail investors would have seen this, wanted to get in on the action before it was too late, and bought (instead of selling in the subsequent days out of disappointment, or because they thought they might be reimbursed by NASDAQ by doing so). The stock would have popped and the IPO would have been labelled a success.

Growth mutual fund managers, afraid of hitting quarter-end without a proper allocation to one of the hottest stories in recent years, might have tried to round out their allocations in the coming days by purchasing more shares (instead of dumping their shares to avoid the embarrassment of hitting quarter-end owning one of the biggest failures in years). There wouldn't have been enough shares to satisfy all of them, due to the limited float. The price would have gone up more.

The momentum crowd -- that special breed of fund managers and traders who make a living by buying anything that is going up -- might have seen the price going up, and bought, since that is what they do (instead of seeing the share price go down and short-selling). This might have easily pushed FB up another $5-$10 a share (instead of pushing the price down a similar amount). By the first week of June, the stock would have been trading hands at $60 (instead of $26 today).

Is this scenario really plausible? I don't know. Facebook's IPO came out at a very aggressive (although not entirely unreasonable) valuation amidst a fair amount of media hype. It may have been destined to initially disappoint, as short-term investors who only bought for the expected "pop" sold into a skeptical market.

But if the stock had been priced in its original suggested range, and the first few minutes of trading had gone more smoothly, who knows what might have happened. It is hard not to see scenarios where there is much greater demand for Facebook shares at $50 than at $30, in violation of the economists' models. Which is all the more reason EMH needs to be permanently confined to the dustbin of history.

Immune system 'circuitry' that kills malaria in mosquitoes identified

Friday, June 8, 2012

Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Malaria Research Institute have, for the first time, determined the function of a series proteins within the mosquito that transduce a signal that enables the mosquito to fight off infection from the parasite that causes malaria in humans. Together, these proteins are known as immune deficiency (Imd) pathway signal transducing factors, are analogous to an electrical circuit. As each factor is switched on or off it triggers or inhibits the next, finally leading to the launch of an immune response against the malaria parasite. The study was published June 7 in the journal PLoS Pathogens.

The latest study builds upon earlier work of the research team, in which they found that silencing one gene of this circuit, Caspar, activated Rel2, an Imd pathway transcription factor of the Anopheles gambiae mosquito. The activation of Rel2 turns on the effectors TEP1, APL1 and FBN9 that kill malaria-causing parasites in the mosquito's gut. More significantly, this study discovered the Imd pathway signal transducing factors and effectors that will mediate a successful reduction of parasite infection at their early ookinete stage, as well as in the later oocyst stage when the levels of infection were similar to those found in nature.

"Identifying and understanding how all of the players work is crucial for manipulating the Imd pathway as an invention to control malaria. We now know which genes can be manipulated through genetic engineering to create a malaria resistant mosquito" said George Dimopoulos PhD, professor in the Department of Molecular Microbiology and Immunology at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.

To conduct the study, Dimopoulos's team used a RNA interference method to "knock down" the genes of the Imd pathway. As the components were inactivated, the researchers could observe how the mosquito's resistance to parasite infection would change.

"Imagine a string of Christmas lights or other circuit that will not work when parts aren't aligned in the right sequence. That is how we are working with the mosquito's immune system," explained Dimopolous. "We manipulate the molecular components of the mosquito's immune system to identify the parts necessary to kill the malaria parasites."

Malaria kills more than 800,000 people worldwide each year. Many are children.

Increasing Your Local Business' Online Visibility | Make Money ...

Have you just started to use the internet to promote your local business and want to gain more visibility online? There are several ways to accomplish this and many channels that you can use to get your business feature more prominently in search engine results as well as other sites that users interested in what you have to offer would visit. Here are some easy methods you can use to get started:

There are plenty of solutions available to create your business website. There is also a lot of information available freely online about web building that you can use. Of course, you also have the option to hire an individual or a company to create your site for you. The most important part is having a site. When you begin, you can create a simple ?place holder? page for your business, with its name, address, contact information, opening hours, logo, some pictures and basic information on what you have to offer. All of this can easily fit into one page. This is perfect if you want to get online but you don?t have the time or money to get a full website done right now.

While there are various ways of getting more attention to your business, social media is one of the easiest and most efficient ones. Before you look at any other types of advertising methods, you should create social media pages for your business on all of the main networks. Build your presence on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and don?t forget Google +. Creating a page for your business on social networking sites is easy. All you need to do is to input the same information than you would on a one page website that presents your business (opening hours, products, contact info, etc). Plus, you can share pictures, videos and other media on your page.

There is a whole lot more that you can do with a social media page for your business, but setting one up is obviously the first step. Be sure to link your personal profiles with your business page and share the page with your friends, or at least those that you think would be interested in your business. This will help you get some exposure and will be very beneficial in search engine rankings.

YouTube isn?t just a site for watching music videos and putting up a cute video of your dog riding a skateboard. You can also use it to draw more attention to your business. There are many ideas, but the most simple one involves a short presentation of your business, followed by a video of you walking around parts of it (if it?s a retail store) and a link to your website in the description. While it won?t be as effective as a TV commercial, it will get you one more point of exposure online and help your standing in search engine results too.

LG 47LM9600

Picture quality is arguably the most important aspect of an HDTV. A set can be well designed, it can have tons of features, it can be easy to use, but if the picture isn't very good, it isn't worth it. The LG 55LM9600 stuffs loads of goodies including passive 3D and built-in Wi-Fi into its attractive metal frame, but a mediocre picture makes this $3,599.99 (list) 55-inch LED-backlit LCD HDTV an overpriced set that skimps where it counts.

Editors' Note: This review is based on tests performed on the LG 55LM9600, the 55-inch model in the same series. Besides the screen size difference, the $2,899.99?47-inch 47LM9600 is identical in features, and while we didn't perform lab tests on this specific model, we expect similar performance.

Design
The screen itself looks very striking, with a single pane of glass stretching nearly edge to edge, framed by a millimeter-wide silver metallic bezel connected to a metal frame. The stand is also metal, and lets the screen pivot left and right. A row of basic controls including Power, Menu, Input, Channel Up/Down, and Volume Up/Down sit behind the right side of the screen. Four HDMI and three USB ports occupy the left side of the back of the HDTV facing left, and the component, composite, cable, Ethernet, and VGA ports sit facing down.

Like previous LG HDTVs, the 55LM9800 uses LG's motion control remote to manipulate an on-screen cursor like an air mouse.?Waving the remote moves the cursor across the HDTV's Smart Hub and through various menus and services. The curved, wand-shaped remote has only a few buttons for Home, Back, 3D, Menu, Mute, Channel Up/Down, and Volume Up/Down. Everything is centered on the scroll wheel which doubles as a button by clicking it like a mouse, but it's easy to accidentally turn the scroll wheel instead of clicking it, which makes the TV think you're trying to change channels instead of selecting an option in a menu. If you don't want to use the motion controls, the scroll wheel is surrounded by a directional pad. However, if you move the remote around too much, it picks up the motion as a command to move the cursor and overrides the direction pad.

All online features are accessible through the Smart Hub, a main menu for the different streaming media services and apps you can access online either through the 55LM9600's built-in Wi-Fi or through an Ethernet connection. The usual services are available, like Netflix, Hulu Plus, Amazon Instant Video, and Pandora, along with social network apps for Facebook and Twitter and various specialized apps available for download.

Performance
We test HDTVs using a Konica-Minolta CS-200 chromameter, DisplayMate image software, and Spectracal CalMAN calibration software. After basic brightness and contrast calibration, the 55LM9600 showed a peak white level of 162.26 cd/m2?and a black level of 0.03 cd/m2?for a contrast ratio of 5,409:1. This is a modest performance; the screen doesn't get particularly dark, and shows a slightly lower contrast ratio than the LG 55LM6700's?($2,299.99, 4 stars)?8,556:1. Colors were generally accurate, with green and red channels appearing slightly oversaturated. The chart below shows how the HDTV's measurements (the colored dots) compare to the CIE standard levels (the respective squares).

Picture quality is disappointing, especially for a $3,600 HDTV. I watched?Piranha?on Blu-ray, and the middling contrast ratio resulted in shadow details like seaweed and dark rooms getting swallowed by murk. Jerry O'Connell's character's frenzied face was a suitably bright red thanks to the screen's color performance, but the adjacent piles of cocaine didn't quite "pop" because the screen doesn't get particularly bright. The less expensive 55LM6700?has a much better picture, getting much brighter and showing better shadow detail.

The 55LM9600 uses passive 3D, which means it works with inexpensive 3D glasses with passive lenses. It comes with six pairs of glasses, and you can easily get more pairs from movie theaters or online at as little as a few dollars a pair. Unfortunately, the 3D effect is unimpressive. While slight depth is visible, the 3D picture doesn't quite pop out of the screen, and significant crosstalk appears when viewing the screen from any angle other than straight on. I watched 3D demo videos of the PlayStation 3 games Gran Turismo 5 and Uncharted 3: Drakes Deception and 3D footage from NCAA basketball and the Winter X Games, and none of them showed truly immersive depth. The active 3D Samsung UN46ES8000F ($2,999.99, 3.5 stars) showed better 3D picture quality and comes with four pairs of active 3D glasses.

As far as power consumption, without energy saving settings enabled, the 55LM9600 used 99 watts. With energy saving set to "Low," that number dropped to 89 watts. Setting energy efficiency settings any higher than "Low" resulted in the screen dimming too much to be watchable. In contrast, the lower-end 55LM6700 consumed only 48 watts in our tests without getting too dark.

The LG 55LM9600 is one of the most attractively designed HDTVs we've seen this year, but its high price and middling picture quality make it a much less appealing screen than both similarly priced and much less expensive HDTVs. The Samsung UN46ES8000F stuffs more interface gimmicks like voice and gesture control, two more convenient remote controls than the 55LM9600's remote, and better 3D for less than $200 more. Our Editor's Choice budget HDTV, the 55-inch Vizio M3D550KD ($1,999.99, 4 stars), offers a solid picture and the convenience of passive 3D at a fraction of the price of either screen. Unless you want to pay much more money for a pretty frame the 55LM9600 doesn't earn its price tag.
