Mercury discovery boosts alien life search

The discovery of huge amounts of water ice and possible organic compounds on the heat-blasted planet Mercury suggests that the raw materials necessary for life as we know it may be common throughout the solar system, researchers say.

Mercury likely harbors between 100 billion and 1 trillion metric tons of water ice in permanently shadowed areas near its poles, scientists analyzing data from NASA's Messenger spacecraft announced Thursday.

Life on sun-scorched Mercury remains an extreme longshot, the researchers stressed, but the new results should still put a spring in the step of astrobiologists around the world.

"The more we examine the solar system, the more we realize it's a soggy place," Jim Green, the director of NASA's Planetary Science Division, said during a press conference Friday.

"And that's really quite exciting, because that means the amount of water that we have here on Earth ? that was not only inherent when it was originally formed but probably brought here ? that water and other volatiles were brought to many other places in the solar system," Green added. "So it really bodes well for us to continue on the exploration, following the water and its signs throughout the solar system." [Latest Mercury Photos from Messenger]

Organics, too?
The observations by Messenger, which has been orbiting Mercury since March 2011, provide compelling evidence that reflective patches first spotted near the planet's poles by the Arecibo radio telescope in Puerto Rico two decades ago are indeed water ice, researchers said.

In the coldest parts of Mercury ? permanently shadowed regions where temperatures drop to perhaps minus 370 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 223 degrees Celsius) ? this ice can lie bare and exposed. But Messenger's data also show that much more frozen water is found in slightly warmer areas, buried beneath a strange dark material that acts as an insulator.

This dark stuff is likely a mixture of complex organic compounds, the carbon-containing building blocks of life as we know it, researchers said during Thursday's news conference.

"This organic material may be the same type of organic material that ultimately gave rise to life on Earth," said Messenger participating scientist David Paige of UCLA.

Helping scientists read the book of life
Mercury probably acquired much of its water and organic material the same way Earth did, researchers said ? via comet impacts and asteroid strikes. Ice and organics are common on the frigid bodies in the solar system's outer reaches.

"There's a lot of water out there, as there is a lot of water around other stars, but at substantial distance," said Messenger principal investigator Sean Solomon of Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory.

With its ultra-thin atmosphere and proximity to the sun, Mercury is probably not a good bet to host life as we know it. But finding ice and organics there should still inform the hunt for organisms beyond Earth and aid scientists' quest to learn more about how life took root on our planet.

"The history of life begins with the delivery to some home object of water and of the building blocks, the organic building blocks, that must undergo some kind of chemistry, which we still don't understand on our own planet," Solomon said.

"And so Mercury is becoming an object of astrobiological interest, where it wasn't much of one before," Solomon added. "That's not say to say that we expect to find any lifeforms ? I don't think anybody on this table does ? but in terms of the book of life, there are some early chapters, and Mercury may indeed inform us about what's in those chapters."

Small Business: If Not Facebook, Then Who? | Social Media Today

After my article "Is Facebook Losing Small Business?" this question came in via Twitter: "What are your thoughts on alternate?SM Networks? Google+?"

Here's an expanded version of my response:

I don?t think there are any true alternative social media networks to Facebook, at this time, including Google+. This is largely due to the numbers of fans in the Facebook network, how entrenched those fans are, the diversity of the fans in the network (demographics), etc.

That said, the one possible contender for the ?alternative SM networks? role is Pinterest.

Why Pinterest?

Here's a few reasons:

A?June article in Forbes magazine?"Why Pinterest Could Be The Next Social Media Giant"?included this information from "recently released data by Modea" about the demographics of Pinterest users.

68% of Pinterest users are? women, and 28.1% of users have an average household income of over $100,000. Furthermore, about half of the users have children and more than 27% are between the ages of 25 and 34.

According to the CNBC article?mentioned above, Pinterest's "rapid growth has drawn businesses, especially retailers, to expand their presence on the site."

In fact, in mid-November Pinterest announced?Pinterest for business. ?Some small businesses, and many larger ones, had already discovered the benefits of having an active presence on Pinterest. Pinterest has now opened the doors wider by creating a Pinterest for Business option.

Pinterest for Business

Many small business owners wonder how they can make it work on Pinterest, especially when what they are selling doesn't easily translate into a visual.?

First, like most social networks it's not all about me or you. It's about our fans, followers, connections, clients, potential clients. Pinterest, as with other top networks, provides a way for you to build your brand and image as well as sell your products, by sharing content that others will find interesting, helpful, valuable and/or shareable - make that 'likable' or 'Repinnable'.

The best way to see this in action is to check out and get a sense for Pinterest before you get too far down the road. Check out a few of the brand pages already active on Pinterest: Martha Stewart, Starbucks,?Lamborghini,?Walmart,?Amazon - there are many more!

Pinterest URLs are branded so if you have a name you really want, grab it now. Big brands like CocaCola, Pepsi, Mazda and Toyota don't seem to have gotten on the bandwagon soon enough as typing in these URLs brings up individuals not the brands. Ouch!

Pinterest users, according to the Forbes article mentioned above, spend more time on the network than on Facebook and Twitter. This is good news for business because Pinterest (at least right now) let's the user decide what they would like to view.

These are the options:

  • Everything being pinned by those you are 'Following'
  • Everything being pinned in certain 'Categories' by everyone
  • Everything - really, everything!
  • Everything that is 'Popular'
  • 'Gift' ideas by price groupings - or EVERY 'Gift' idea unsorted

YOU choose - Pinterest doesn't choose for you. (Yes, that was a bit of a dig at Facebook.)

Anything that can be shared using a visually appealing image is ripe for Pinterest. And, you can add text too, up to 500 characters, and a clickable link (URL) back to your website, or your e-commerce site (to make a purchase), etc. You can also pin saleable products from your website to show up on Pinterest.

From a small business point of view, Facebook is losing some of its lustre as a place to invest a lot of time and energy for meager results. Social networks like Pinterest are opening up new opportunities for them.

Pinterest is gaining traction with users and with businesses, assuming they don?t mess too much with the way things are, other than improvements of course.

Google+ is a different animal compared to Facebook and Pinterest. It doesn?t seem to have the huge buy-in, usage and time spend that Facebook does. It does have large fan numbers, considering the relatively short time it's been around, but the amount of time users spend on the network isn?t impressive. An?article in Search Engine Journal earlier this year, reported the average number of minutes users spent on Google+ was 3 minutes. I'm sure it's more now but not enough to make it any kind of a threat to Facebook or Pinterest, at least right now.

Bacteria hijack host cell process, create their own food supply to become infectious

ScienceDaily (Nov. 29, 2012) ? Bacteria that cause the tick-borne disease anaplasmosis in humans create their own food supply by hijacking a process in host cells that normally should help kill the pathogenic bugs, scientists have found.

This bacterium, Anaplasma phagocytophilum (Ap), secretes a protein that can start this process. The protein binds with another protein produced by white blood cells, and that connection creates compartments that siphon host-cell nutrients to feed the bacteria, enabling their growth inside the white blood cells.

The finding defies conventional wisdom about most bacteria, which try to avoid this cellular process. Called autophagy, the process allows a cell to digest parts of itself to produce energy when it is experiencing starvation. But that digestive feature also is enacted by the immune system to help clear away certain intracellular pathogens, including those that cause salmonellosis or shigellosis.

The Ap bacterium, however, launches and then manipulates the autophagy process to its own advantage.

"This study shows how bacteria subvert natural processes," said Yasuko Rikihisa, professor of veterinary biosciences at Ohio State University and lead author of the research. "They are creating their own food supply through a cellular mechanism that hurts other infectious bacteria. And because this process doesn't cause inflammation, they do it very gently, becoming an insider that eventually kills the host cell."

The finding could help identify new targets for drugs to treat this infection, which is a rare but emerging infectious disease that can be lethal for the elderly and people with compromised immune systems. The current first-line treatment is the antibiotic doxycycline.

Also known as human granulocytic anaplasmosis, the disease affects more than 1,000 people per year in the United States, up from just 348 reported cases in 2003, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It is transmitted to humans by tick bites primarily from the black-legged tick and the western black-legged tick.

The study appears online this week in the early edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

The Ap bacterium secretes substances to perform a process resembling mating to infect host cells, primarily the granulocyte class of white blood cells that fight off invading pathogens. Rikihisa's lab previously identified a protein called Ats-1 that is secreted by Ap bacteria during this process.

In this new study, the researchers found that once inside the host cells, Ats-1 binds to another protein called Beclin 1, which is part of a system of molecules involved in the earliest stages of the autophagy process.

The scientists observed that when the two proteins bind, they create little bubbles known as vesicles. Through a series of experiments, the researchers determined that these bubbles were in fact autophagosomes -- bubble-like compartments that are formed as a cell prepares to undergo autophagy.

They were able to confirm this by imaging the vesicles to determine that they had the tell-tale double membrane characteristic of autophagosomes, and by testing for the presence of other compounds that serve as markers of the initiation of the cell-digesting process.

Under normal circumstances, autophagosomes contain the nutrients that are meant to be digested and recycled for other uses -- but in this case, the bacteria take those nutrients to promote their own growth.

That Ats-1 could start this process on its own represents a rare power for a single protein.

"We believe this is the first bacterial protein that has been found to do this," said Rikihisa, also an investigator in Ohio State's Center for Microbial Interface Biology and Comprehensive Cancer Center. "Ats-1 initiates an early stage of the autophagosome, then picks up nutrients from the main body of the host cell and closes the layers."

Most of the action of bacterial growth takes place inside a special compartment that typically doesn't contain many nutrients. But after the Ap bacterial protein starts this process of producing autophagosomes that can encase nutrients, these bubbles fuse with the compartment, creating a steady supply of food at the site of bacterial replication and growth.

The researchers showed this by further imaging the bubbles to determine that an autophagy marker protein could be found both inside and outside of the bacterial growth compartments. They also showed that infected cells did not contain any lysosomes, which are cell parts that perform the actual digestion and degradation of foreign bodies during autophagy.

An experiment in mice deficient in the Beclin 1 protein showed that infection levels were much lower if mice had low levels of this protein -- confirming its role in binding with Ats-1 and producing autophagosomes to promote infection. In cell cultures, the researchers also showed that when Ats-1 was overproduced, bacteria grew 10 times more effectively than they did in cells in which an unrelated protein was overproduced.

All of this activity allows the bacteria to remain hidden from the immune system because the induction of autophagy is considered a normal cell function and it does not produce any inflammation, which would recruit infection-fighters to the scene. Instead, the Ap bacteria set themselves up comfortably inside granulocytes and steadily grow for a few days until they rupture their host cells and generate a strong immune response -- which makes an infected person sick.

In one final experiment, Rikihisa and colleagues blocked autophagosome production in Ap-infected cells using an experimental drug called 3-MA. With that process blocked, bacterial growth declined dramatically.

3-MA is toxic to humans, but its effectiveness in blocking the infectious properties of Ap in cells suggests that its structure could serve as the basis for a safe small-molecule drug, Rikihisa said.

"A similar compound could be a potential treatment to inhibit bacterial growth," she said.

Clarifying the power of Ats-1 in inducing autophagy also suggests that this protein could be an important tool in further studies of this complex cell process that remains poorly understood, she added.

This work was supported by a grant from the National Institutes of Health.

Hey, You Guys! 'The Goonies' and 'The Hobbit' Have a Mashup

Mitt Romney can take some solace in his devastating loss on Nov. 6: at least he won the voters who really count. That's the thesis anyway of top adviser Stuart Stevens, who penned an op-ed in the Washington Post on Wednesday arguing that by winning wealthier and whiter voters, Romney secured the moral victory over Obama. "On Nov. 6, Mitt Romney carried the majority of every economic group except those with less than $50,000 a year in household income," Stevens wrote. "That means he carried the majority of middle-class voters. ...

Are we just friends with benefits? - Relationships, Dating, & Marriage

Again, I?m looking for updates from former letter writers for the holidays. If you wrote me a letter, please send me an update from the same email address that you used to write me the first time.

And now a letter from my home state ?

Q: Hi Meredith,

About a year ago I broke off my engagement to my boyfriend of five years. It was the hardest decision of my life thus far, and while I cared for him deeply, I am 100 percent happier now than I was with him. I have always been the girl with a boyfriend, falling quickly into relationships with guys for the wrong reasons ? mainly because they liked me and were good guys. I have approached dating this time around very differently, dating multiple men at once, and really focusing on what I need and want in a partner. I feel like I have a really healthy outlook on dating.

So why am I writing? There?s a glitch in my otherwise grounded approach to dating and that glitch?s name is ?Luke.? I met Luke about 11 months ago out at a bar. Luke was seemingly nothing like the other guys I dated and initially I was very tepid about him. I was convinced that our first date would crash and burn, but I was wrong. We continued to date ? however, at the time I was also dating someone else. We continued to casually date for a couple of months and then one night we were supposed to get together and he cancelled at the last minute. About a week later he stopped returning my texts. I got the not-so-subtle hint. I deleted Luke from my contacts and made amends with the fact that he wasn?t interested. I still had feelings for him but I also didn?t want to torture myself with the temptation of contacting him.

I didn?t see or hear from Luke for a few months until we bumped into each other. We talked and he apologized about how he ended things. From that night on, Luke has been a different guy. We started going on day dates for brunch or lunch, just talking, and maybe just a goodbye kiss. We also became much more honest about what was going on the first time we dated. I told him I had been seeing another guy. I found out that he disappeared because he was also seeing someone.

The thing is, I can?t every really tell where I stand with Luke. I really think that Luke and I are at the very least meant to be good friends. Sometimes I think that we are a classic case of friends with benefits, but we go on dates, he has cooked me dinner, he consistently responds to my texts, and although we are having sex, it is neither the reason nor end game when we hang out. Luke has said that he doesn?t need ?another girlfriend? ? that he?s really looking for a wife. He also told me that he dated his last girlfriend for a year and a half before they became exclusive. I know that Luke likes me and I know he enjoys spending time with me, but I wonder if I am just someone to pass the time with while he finds his ?wife.?

I can?t help but think that if he disappeared before for the other girl, there must have been something about me that didn?t click with what he was looking for, and I have a hard time imagining that that ?something? has changed. I have tried discussing some of these topics with Luke but I don?t get a lot of information. He reassures me that he is into me and that for him it takes time to build relationships. To be honest, I?m not sure that I want to be exclusive with Luke, but I know there is something about him and the way I feel about him that is very different from the other guys I?ve dated.

Am I on a dead end road with Luke or should I continue to see how this develops? What signs should I be looking for (or what signs am I ignoring) to tell the direction of our relationship?

Thank you!

? Is there potential?, MD

A: You?ve had a busy year, my friend. Please take a deep breath and relax a bit.

I don?t know what Luke is doing or what he wants, but it?s early in the game. You can?t rush the answers, and it might be too early for signs.

My advice is to enjoy your time with Luke and to tell him what you want as you figure him out. Isn?t that what you learned from your last relationship ? to be forthright about your needs? If you don?t want to sleep with someone who?s sleeping with other people, tell him. If this lasts another few months and you want to be able to call him your significant other, make it known. That?s all you can do.

Again, you?ve had a wild 11 months. I just hope that you?ve used some of your freedom to hang out with friends. Had you emailed me a year ago, I would have advised you to cool it with the dating and to give yourself some space to adjust to life as a single person. I?m sure you feel like you wasted five years in the wrong relationship, but you didn?t. You didn?t lose any time.

It?s too early to decode Luke, so you just have to keep dating him and paying attention. As you do that, please spend some of your energy on building a life that will remain whether Luke?s there or not. I?m happy that you have an active romantic life, but if you don?t find balance, you?re going to overwhelm yourself.

Readers? Is she being honest about what she wants from Luke? When should she ask him for more? Does she want more? What does he mean when he says he?s looking for a wife instead of a girlfriend? Help.

? Meredith

95% Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has To Travel

All Critics (62) | Top Critics (24) | Fresh (59) | Rotten (3)

Her life, and her work, transcended what we think of as "fashion." Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has to Travel celebrates a unique and uniquely determined woman.

Many people remember some of Diana Vreeland's famous pronouncements ("I adore pink! It is the navy blue of India!") but few remember actually hearing her speak. The documentary Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has to Travel takes care of that.

For fashionphiles and pop culture vultures, there's much to devour.

Diana Vreeland is both history lesson and sentimental love letter to a fashion titan.

Legendary fashion editor Diana Vreeland was the consummate dreamer, a romantic who never looked back and propelled society forward.

A feast for fashion-history buffs and anyone who applauds unstoppable eccentricity.

An otherwise fine profile of American fashion magazine doyen Diana Vreeland is let down by pedestrian production.

She wanted you to look and look again, and this film is full of images which make you do just that.

There's something marvellously comic about her, an effect reinforced by her refined yet raucous baritone voice.

This pleasurable documentary is jammed packed with images from magazines, photoshoots and newsreels of a life well lived, but also lots of historical footage of the life Vreeland imagined she had too.

...more of an energetic and affectionate sketch than a revealing portrait of this oversized personality, but one has to wonder if the woman who celebrated glittering surfaces would have wanted it any other way.

This fascinating documentary reveals that Vreeland (who died in 1989, aged 86) was an original: a dynamic woman with energy to spare and an infectious lust for life

What makes this such a joy to watch is not just the timeline of fashion highlights, but Vreeland's unique perspective on life.

The filmmakers have done a fine job corralling so many fantastic tales from Vreeland's life.

"Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has to Travel" is an intriguing portrait of a true original; you only wish the movie had half the color and verve of its subject.

A lively movie, and in the case of its appearance-obsessed subject, it feels right that all it does is skim the surface.

[Vreeland's] influence on twentieth-century culture was large, and it's celebrated here with affection, dedication and skill--but very little critical detachment.

Though unwilling to dig too deeply into what seems an imperfect private life, it still serves as a splendid introduction to a unique personality.

A poignant portrait of an inveterate iconoclast who couldn't help but push the envelope.

iPad Market Share - Business Insider

Stay ahead of key mobile trends with BI Intelligence, Business Insider's new research and analysis service focused on the mobile industry. Access the full library of research, data, and charts. Sign up for your free trial today >>

Here's more proof that tablet market share stats you see are either bogus or totally irrelevant.

IBM released its Thanksgiving and Black Friday report on mobile shopping, and the iPad completely dominates.

In the chart below, you can see the iPad represented 88.3 percent of all tablet shopping on Black Friday and Thanksgiving. It was also 9.3 percent of all mobile shopping. The iPhone was 8.7 percent in mobile, while Android was just 5.5 percent in mobile. (Add it up, and you have the iOS at 18 percent of mobile shopping versus 5.5% for Android.)

IBM's data comes from tracking online retailers with its Digital Analytics Benchmark product. These stats come from tracking, apparel, department stores, health and beauty, and home good, says IBM.

These numbers are particularly interesting because at the start of the month, IDC said Apple only had 50% of the tablet market. Samsung, Amazon, and Asus were supposedly eating Apple's share.

Those IDC numbers seem a lot more hollow now. Perhaps all those other companies are shipping lots of tablets, but they're not being bought and used by consumers.

Apple's CEO Tim Cook has long been skeptical of market share stats. When Apple announced the iPhone 5, he said the iPad had 92% of tablet web traffic, adding, "I don't know what these other tablets are doing. They must be in warehouses or store shelves or maybe in people's bottom drawer."

In other words, maybe tablets are being shipped, but not used.

This IBM data is also points to a bigger picture with Apple and Android market share. Android may be winning the market share battle, but it's losing the battle to be the platform. Apple is still being used more by people, which is what matters for developers and for companies.

PFT: Schaub says Suh isn't 'Houston Texan-worthy'

Ndamukong SuhAP

Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh still hasn?t spoken about his, um, interaction with Texans quarterback Matt Schaub on Thanksgiving.? However, Suh has no qualms when it comes to talking about his ambitions.

?I do see multiple Super Bowl rings in my future, especially with the team we have now,? Suh says in an upcoming issue of ESPN The Magazine, via Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press.? ?We?re a team where if we don?t make mistakes, we are insanely dangerous.?

Some would say that some of the players have been dangerous off the field, insanely or otherwise.

Suh was dangerous, sort of, last Thanksgiving, when he stomped on the arm of Packers guard Evan Dietrich-Smith.? But Suh, who presumably spoke before Thursday?s game, says he has matured.

?I definitely understand how to channel my aggression in a productive way,? uh said. ?There are many reasons.? One is I went through that situation last Thanksgiving.? But also, any man, any child grows up. You learn from your mistakes or you go backward.? I?m the kind of person who wants to move forward. My fire is still there.? And when I get a full opportunity to unleash my fire, it?s like the hit I put on [Chicago Bears quarterback Jay] Cutler.? By no means am I trying to hurt him, but I am going 100 [mph] and trying to get him as quickly and as hard down to the ground as possible.? That?s the way I show my dominance, and I am going to continue to do that.? If that situation happens again with Cutler, I?m gonna hit him the same way, if not harder.?

While Suh won?t be suspended for his successful attempt to bring Schaub to the ground in a non-traditional way, Suh likely will be fined.

Whether he?ll will multiple Super Bowls is slightly less clear.

Creativity and Affect


The authors of this volume attempt to cohere the field of creativity and affect in a scholarly fashion by categorizing and characterizing some of its major features, including environmental influences; underlying processes; specific affective states; the role of atypical or pathological personalities; unconscious processes; physiological components; proactive and reactive stimuli; intrinsic motivation; eminence versus everyday creativity; and testing of assessing the affective component of creativity. The authors also examine and discuss the role that emotions, feelings and moods play in the creative process. This volume also provides a vehicle for students and psychotherapists, with which they can fully appreciate the feelings generated by the creative process and the various stages of it. How does a creator feel during its more mundane phases? Can he or she tolerate the frustration of failing and being unsuccessful most of the time? What is the real joy of achievement, success, and ultimate acceptance by ones peers in a given field? Do we have to exhibit major psychopathological features in order to achieve eminence in specific fields? What is the role of mind altering substances, mood disorders, and the like? This volume answers these questions and more. Author: Shaw, Melvin P./ Runco, Mark A./ Shaw, Melvin P.

After blast, Pakistan Taliban threatens more attacks

By NBC News staff and Reuters

Updated at 4:40 p.m. ET: ISLAMABAD ? After a roadside bomb killed at least seven people near a Shiite procession in Pakistan on Saturday, the Pakistan Taliban warned that more attacks were coming.

The Pakistan Taliban called the Agence France-Presse from an undisclosed location to claim responsibility for the attacks. Ehsanullah Ehsan told the AFP that the Taliban had dispatched more than 20 suicide bombers to target Shiite Muslims, the religious minority.?

Four boys were among the dead; another 30 were wounded.

Pakistan suspended phone coverage in cities across the country this weekend, an important one in the Shiite Muslim calendar, after a series of bomb attacks on Shiites were triggered by mobile phones.

Hardline Sunnis have threatened more attacks as the Shiite mourning month of Muharram comes to a climax. More than a dozen people have already been killed this week observing Muharram.


Muharram marks the anniversary of the Battle of Karbala, where the grandson of the Prophet Mohammad and his family members were killed.

Pakistani intelligence officials say extremist groups led by Lashkar-e-Jhangvi have intensified their bombings and shootings of Shiites in the hope of triggering conflict that would pave the way for a Sunni theocracy in U.S.-allied Pakistan.

The schism between Sunnis and Shiites developed after the Prophet Muhammad died in 632 when his followers could not agree on a successor.

Saturday's attack occurred in the city of Dera Ismail Khan in Pakistan's northwest, a stronghold of al-Qaida-linked Sunni militant groups who regard Shiites as non-Muslims and have stepped up sectarian attacks in a bid to destabilize Pakistan.

The explosion followed a suicide attack that killed 23 people at a Shiite procession, according to the AFP.?

Boy hurled from street to roof
Police said the bomb was set off by a television remote control device because cellphones were not operational.

The explosion was so powerful that it hurled a young boy onto a rooftop from a street, where a man later carried away half of his body, as a policeman with a bomb detector and residents stood near blood stains.

Intelligence information indicates more attacks have been planned for the coming days in the capital city of Islamabad, Karachi and Quetta. Mobile phone service will be suspended for hours in the three cities and dozens of others over the weekend.

In Karachi, more than 5,000 police are expected to patrol the streets during Muharram events over the next two days, with hundreds more on alert.

(AP) ? Regional leaders meeting in Uganda on Saturday called for an end to the advance by M23 rebels toward Congo's capital, and also urged the Congolese government to sit down with rebel leaders as residents fled some towns for fear of more fighting between the rebels and army.

The leaders called on M23 rebels to vacate the city of Goma within two days and for local police recently disarmed by the rebels "to be rearmed so that they resume duty," according to a statement issued by the regional bloc called the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region.

M23 is made up of hundreds of officers who deserted the Congolese army in April. Since then the rebels have occupied vast swaths of territory in mineral-rich eastern Congo. The rebels accuse Congo's government of failing to honor the terms of a 2009 peace deal that incorporated them into the national army. The rebels took Goma without much of a battle, with the Congolese army fleeing in disarray and U.N. peacekeepers holding fire.

M23 leaders insist they will attempt to capture the Congolese capital of Kinshasa if Congo's President Joseph Kabila does not negotiate directly with them.

The regional bloc encouraged Congo to "listen, evaluate and resolve the legitimate grievances of M23," according to the statement out of Uganda's capital, Kampala.

Leaders for the rebel movement said they were in Uganda on Saturday, however, Ugandan officials said M23 representatives were not invited to the summit and denied reports that Jean-Marie Runiga, the M23's political leader, was in the country for separate negotiations with the Ugandan government.

"This is a summit for regional leaders, not a negotiation meeting. The rebels cannot be in the summit," said Okello Oryem, Uganda's deputy minister of foreign affairs.

The Rwandan president was also not at the summit, despite reports by the U.N. that the country, along with Uganda, is helping to back the rebel movement. The two countries deny the charges.

In eastern Congo, hundreds of residents in the towns of Sake and Minova walked toward a nearby village on Saturday to avoid more fighting between rebels and the army, who they accuse of looting and rapes.

A resident making the eight kilometer (5 mile) walk to Kirotshe said that soldiers from the U.N. peacekeeping group in Congo, known as MONUSCO, told them to leave Sake.

"They told us the army might attack again at Sake," said the resident who spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of her safety. "Soldiers from MONUSCO told us all to go to the hospital."

The U.N. soldiers, however, would not confirm that they had told locals to take refuge in Kirotshe or whether they thought the army would attack.

A surprise attack by the Congolese army on Thursday afternoon pushed the M23 rebels out of Sake for a few hours. By the evening, however, M23 fighters had recovered the town and forced the government troops to flee 25 kilometers (15 miles) south to Minova, on the shore of Lake Kivu.

Locals in Minova on Saturday reported that the retreating army troops had gone on a rampage on Thursday and Friday nights.

"Things are not at all well here," said Mousinganga Siprian, an elderly resident of Minova leaning unsteadily on a makeshift crutch. "There are very many soldiers here now. They have looted, they have killed, they are raping our women."

A U.N. source in Minova confirmed that the government soldiers had looted and raped on both of the nights they had spent in the town since their retreat from Sake, but spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not permitted to speak to the press.

The soldiers milled in the streets of Minova, drinking black banana beer and standing on grassy banks or walking among the local population. Many were drunk and aggressive, and the atmosphere between fighters and civilians was extremely tense.

The army commander, Gen. Lucien Bahuma, would not comment on the behavior of his troops when contacted by telephone.

Sake residents settled in for their third evening away from their homes on a road running into Goma.

A World Food Program distribution was taking place, but the displaced people on the roadside said they were unsatisfied with the support they were getting.

"They are giving out food but only bit by bit," said Jacqui Nadaje, clutching a bright orange washing bowl full of clothes. "This is the first time (the WFP) has come here. We need more support from these agencies and the international community. We need shelter and water, but above all we need food. We are all very hungry."

The regional leaders in Uganda's capital said The U.N. peacekeeping mission in Congo, or MONUSCO, is to occupy and provide security in the "neutral zone between Goma and the new areas occupied by M23." It also called for the creation of a "composite force" to guard Goma's strategic airport that would feature soldiers from other African countries as well as M23 and the Congolese national army. Regional governments are considering dispatching a "natural international force" to eastern Congo, but it remains unclear when it would materialize.

South Africa offered Saturday to contribute some money toward the force, but only Tanzania has offered troops so far. Angola and Kenya, which are eligible to contribute troops, have not announced their offers.

Day Trading Success ? Is Trading Software One of the Keys to ...

Lots of people want to make income most do so by doing work for somebody else. The true money to be created in the globe is from men and women who operate for themselves one of the better techniques to function for yourself is via the use of investing computer software and acquiring into day trading.

Day buying and selling good results arrives from educating oneself about the economic industry,s and learning how to read the triggers and other indicators for when to acquire, when to offer, and what to do when the market is unreadable.

Whilst day trading has a conventional picture of a day trader shouting into the telephones as they try out to get their trades in ahead of the market adjustments in the following five minutes, the improvement of each the net and substantial driven personal computers has changed day trading accomplishment noticeably.

Now, a huge part of the genuine approach of trading by itself has been automatic, reducing the barrier to entry for a good deal of folks, and transferring the ?broker choke point? out from a working day to day event to 1 that only happens when the industry shoots out of automatable parameters.

Whilst trading software program is essential to day trading achievement, bear in mind that automation is no swap for judgment. Anybody who trusts an automatic computer software package deal to do their investigation for them, or believes that the market alone won?t go outdoors the programmed ranges of trades they?ve created (or that a bunch of traders creating the very same wager in the very same route can?t overwhelm all of the automated tools in existence) is a idiot. Use trading software package to purchase oneself the time to make reasoned, nicely looked into trades.

What this means is that no make a difference how significantly automation you have, day trading success is dependent on how nicely you use your brains to get details.

Most of that skill arrives from exercise very good day trading software program really should also occur with an educational set of info, ones that give you a follow account that allows you follow programmed trades, with justifications and explanations for why specified indicators (specifically alerts that contradict each other) are adopted under what circumstances. It is human judgment that makes trades, and it truly is human judgment that benefits the most from automatic investing resources.

Even with stock investing plans, day trading is even now function. It is still a job, despite the fact that it?s a higher having to pay a single. It truly is a job that demands you to make decisions on a normal foundation, dependent on data that is constantly changing and updating. You can automate several of the far more program conclusions with buying and selling software package, but day trading achievement comes from heading past the schedule, to seeking for cues about a marketplace shift that will take place sooner or afterwards than anybody else expects it to.

You can make significant funds with day trading computer software you can also get rid of it, particularly if you use strategies like leveraging without having realizing what you?re performing. You will also get rid of cash on some trades ? it?s just part of the work. Sometimes you guess inappropriate, and you may locate that it truly is much better to get out earlier rather than journey it out to the base.
