CARLSBAD, Calif. , June 15, 2011 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ ? Life Technologies Corporation today announced the launch of CytoTune(TM)-iPS Reprogramming Kit ? research technology that provides far improved efficiency over standard methods to develop induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from human somatic cells. The ability to more easily create larger numbers of these embryonic stem cell-like cells can expedite basic research and studies that target specific diseases. Widely accepted methods for turning adult skin cells, for example, into iPSCs involve benign virus vectors that are used to deliver reprogramming genes. The process, however, is woefully inefficient (reprogramming efficiency rates for standard methods range b

Brightbridge Wealth Management Headlines:Analysis: Time to move some money to stocks from commodities By Walter Brandimarte http://www. reuters. com/article/2011/05/12/businesspro-us-commodities-portfolios-stidUSTRE74B7S120110512 (Reuters) – Commodities have lost their luster for leading investment strategists on fears that global economic growth, particularly Chinese demand, may be lower than previously expected. Instead, they are recommending investing in large-cap U. S. companies whose earnings have historically varied less through economic cycles. That includes defensive areas such as household products and utilities but also some technology and industrial companies. Investors became more cautious about commodities after last week’s vicious unwind of oil, copper and precious metals — which some dubbed a mini “flash crash” similar to the one seen in U. S. equity markets a year earlier. Even as strategists recommend steering away from commodities, they agree that the long-term

But some TV brokers are speculating that you’re wrong. On May 23 HBO is offering “Too Big to Fail,” the tale of what was happening behind the scenes as banks folded, industry staggered and the housing market crumbled. Based on the book by Andrew Ross Sorkin, the film is directed by Curtis Hanson (“L.A. Confidential”) with a roster of heavy hitting stars like James Wood, William Hurt, Topher Grace, Tony Shalhoub and Matthew Modine. “I think that this story and this particular film and the book was really an opportunity to try to take the public inside the room so they could see what happened, so they could actually see the decisions that were made and what the opportunities were and the choices were that they actually had,” says Sor

Without any specific headline focus on technology, the keynote plenary session kicked off with South African President Jacob Zuma as leaders assessed the rise of emerging markets in “the new global reality”. While Zuma and others discussed the implications of emerging markets on the future of the world’s economy, Rajiv J. Share from the United States Agency for International Development, USAID, reminded everyone of one critical driver of the emerging markets rise: technology. When recognised a decade ago for its role in development and growth technology became a theme. That has changed. It is now an unstated assumption. The recent WEF shows technology and social media in relation

By: Jim Puzzanghera http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-facebook-privacy-20110520,0,467998.story Reporting from Washington— A leading senator, angry that Facebook Inc. failed to stop millions of preteens from using its social networking site, accused co-founder Mark Zuckerberg of lacking “social values” and being more concerned with building the company than with children’s privacy. “It’s my general feeling that people who are 20, 21, 22 years old really don’t have any social values at this point,” Senate Commerce Committee Chairman John D. Rockefeller IV (D-W.Va.) told another top Facebook executive at a hearing Thursday. “I think he was focused on how the business model would work,” Rockefeller said about Zuckerberg, who was a 19-year-old Harvard student when he created Facebook in 2004. “He wanted to make it bigger and faster and better than anybody else ever had.” The company’s policy requires users to be at least 13, a move designed to avoid federal regulations for web
