ATLANTA, GA, January 18, 2011 (Press-News.org) Collector-ActionFigures ("DASH") (www.Collector-ActionFigures.com) today announced the launch of a completely new web front-end, increasing usability, functionality and performance for its action figure collector users. With this latest upgrade of DASH, collectors can now seamlessly connect their favorite figures to their friends through Facebook, Twitter and other social networking sites. With the only mobile action figure app available for action figure collectors (today available for the iPhone), DASH has also announced that it will soon launch a mobile app for Android-based phones. A video tour of the new site is available at the DASH YouTube Channel.
With collectors already managing hundreds of thousands of action figures on the site, DASH provides the most comprehensive action figure catalog, photo archive and online price guide for collectors. Integrated through the site is the ability for collectors to securely buy and sell their own action figures in a more convenient and affordable community site than other online sites.
"This release is the reward for the thousands of action figure collectors that have supported DASH this past year," said Bill Jones, President of CollectorDASH. "As a result of their feedback and contributions, this new user experience really showcases how DASH empowers and connects the action figure community."
"Action figure collectors, and the dealers that sell to them, are going to love the new site," said Bryan Tatum. "I've used DASH for more than a year now, and it is now really intuitive, fast, and even more useful. I have followed these guys for a long time, and their vision and hard work really shows in this upgrade."
DASH provides an integrated software platform for action figure collectors. Its core features are:
A wiki-enabled "Catalog" - The Catalog is the best structured, comprehensive resource for action figure collectors. It solves the ambiguity of figure naming and identification, helps collectors learn, share and grow their interest in the hobby, and serves as a living foundation for making collection management and selling easier.
Simple collection management - Because it is based on the Catalog, DASH's collection management is a simple matter of finding their items and clicking "Add to Collection" or "Add to Wanted List". When a collector buys an item, it is automatically added to his collection.
Structured, active and secure Marketplace - With a common platform to identify all items for sale, sellers save time in researching their items for sale, and buyers appreciate the inherent specificity of the listings. Items are found not only through blind searches, but instead also through a familiar structure tailored for action figures. Wanted Items are flagged and provide alerts when new items are listed for sale or reduced in price. All transactions are encrypted and use PayPal for funds transfer.
Anytime, anywhere access - As a web-based solution, DASH is accessible from any browser. Additionally, DASH has action figure applications for the iPhone and Android (coming soon) mobile platforms.
Community features - DASH strives to bring collectors together. Collecting is a social activity, and DASH helps collectors share. Send a figure to someone. Post to your social network. Rate a figure. Learn about other great community web sites.
The global DASH Marketplace integrates seamlessly with PayPal, making transactions fast, easy and secure. Buyers and sellers receive email notifications within minutes of sales. Sellers can then print pre-printed shipping labels with just a few mouse clicks. Detailed transaction reporting is also provided, and buyers and sellers use a traditional feedback system making it easy to identify and deal with trusted partners. DASH is free for end users, and costs sellers only a 4.95% transaction fee when items sell.
www.Collector-ActionFigures.com is the first product by CollectorDASH, LLC who are focused on providing innovative, integrated marketplaces for collectors worldwide. CollectorDASH's founders have over 80 years of software and collecting experience.

Researchers unzip MRSA and discover route for vaccine
2011-01-17
University of Rochester Medical Center orthopaedic scientists are a step closer to developing a vaccine to prevent life-threatening methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections following bone and joint surgery.
Other MRSA vaccine research has failed to produce a viable option for patients because of the inability to identify an agent that can break through the deadly bacteria's unique armor. Most other research has targeted the surface of the bacteria, but the URMC team discovered an antibody that reaches beyond the microbe's surface and can stop the ...
Choosing organic milk could offset effects of climate change
2011-01-17
Wetter, cooler summers can have a detrimental effect on the milk we drink, according to new research published by Newcastle University.
Researchers found milk collected during a particularly poor UK summer and the following winter had significantly higher saturated fat content and far less beneficial fatty acids than in a more 'normal' year.
But they also discovered that switching to organic milk could help overcome these problems. Organic supermarket milk showed higher levels of nutritionally beneficial fatty acids compared with 'ordinary' milk regardless of the time ...
Henry Ford Hospital study: Shoulder function not fully restored after surgery
2011-01-17
DETROIT - Shoulder motion after rotator cuff surgery remains significantly different when compared to the patient's opposite shoulder, according to a Henry Ford Hospital study.
In a study that updated prior findings, researchers used X-rays providing a 3D view of motion of the arm bone in relation to the shoulder blade, to compared motion in the shoulders of 22 patients who had arthroscopic surgical repair of tendon tears and no symptoms in their other shoulders. An earlier study looked at 14 patients.
Researchers analyzed the motion of both shoulders at three, 12 and ...
In scientific first, researchers visualize naturally occurring mRNA
2011-01-17
January 16, 2011 – (BRONX, NY) – In a technique that could eventually shed light on how gene expression influences human disease, scientists at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University have for the first time ever successfully visualized single molecules of naturally-occurring messenger RNA (mRNA) transcribed in living mammalian cells. The scientific achievement is detailed in the January 16 online edition of Nature Methods.
Gene expression involves transcribing a gene's DNA into molecules of mRNA. These molecules then migrate from a cell's nucleus into ...

Scientists find the 'master switch' for key immune cells in inflammatory diseases
2011-01-17
Scientists have identified a protein that acts as a "master switch" in certain white blood cells, determining whether they promote or inhibit inflammation. The study, published in the journal Nature Immunology, could help researchers look for new treatments for diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis that involve excessive inflammation.
Inflammatory responses are an important defence that the body uses against harmful stimuli such as infections or tissue damage, but in many conditions, excessive inflammation can itself harm the body. In rheumatoid arthritis, the joints ...
Essential oil pill prevents PMS
2011-01-17
A pill containing a mix of essential oils has been shown to significantly reduce the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS). Researchers writing in BioMed Central's open access journal Reproductive Health tested the tablets by carrying out a randomised, controlled trial in 120 women.
Edilberto Rocha Filho worked with a team of researchers from the Federal University of Pernambuco, Brazil, to conduct the tests. He said, "The administration of 1 or 2 grams of essential fatty acids to patients with PMS resulted in a significant decrease in symptom scores. Furthermore, the ...
