SOQUEL, CA, May 20, 2011 (Press-News.org) OwnDepot, a home management solution and personal asset documentation protection company announced a new marketing program designed to keep home protection top of mind. The new program, called DEFEND searches for and follows catastrophic events, and offers free home protection services to those fortunate enough to be spared from any tragedy. "It is a bit like the storm chasers," said Brett Langlinais COO of OwnDepot. "Home Protection is top of mind right after a near miss. If you have a tornado in a nearby town or a flood in a nearby county, you realize that tragedies do not always strike the other guy and we are all vulnerable. When tragedy strikes your friends, neighbors, and fellow parishioners, there is a time for reflection and a time for action." Action in this case comes in the form of documenting your personal assets so you are prepared to rapidly recover if tragedy hits home. While we are most excited with DEFEND, our true regret is that we are too late to assist the victims who are unprotected.
DEFEND provides a turnkey process for local insurance agents and brokers to automatically gain access to communication tools and materials. It serves to instantly remind their neighborhood and local communities about the importance of home asset protection while the concern is still top of mind. "Personal asset protection is free; we are simply trying to provide a valuable service to our fellow citizens," said Joe Toste "VP of Marketing for OwnDepot.
Joe, a father of four, puts home asset protection in even stronger context. "Family protection is no longer just life, home and health insurance. Effective family protection must also incorporate personal asset insurance, those items and treasures that make a house a home. My feeling is that home asset protection is the responsibility of every American head of household. It takes a couple of hours, it is free, and it puts you and your family on the road to recovery long before any potential tragedy happens.

Is fear deficit a harbinger of future psychopaths?
2011-05-20
Psychopaths are charming, but they often get themselves and others in big trouble; their willingness to break social norms and lack of remorse means they are often at risk for crimes and other irresponsible behaviors.
One hypothesis on how psychopathy works is that it has to do with a fear deficit. A new study, which will be published in an upcoming issue of Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science, finds that children with a particular risk factor for psychopathy don't register fear as quickly as healthy children.
The hypothesis ...

Curcumin compound improves effectiveness of head and neck cancer treatment, U-M study finds
2011-05-20
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — A primary reason that head and neck cancer treatments fail is the tumor cells become resistant to chemotherapy drugs. Now, researchers at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center have found that a compound derived from the Indian spice curcumin can help cells overcome that resistance.
When researchers added a curcumin-based compound, called FLLL32, to head and neck cancer cell lines, they were able to cut the dose of the chemotherapy drug cisplatin by four while still killing tumor cells equally as well as the higher dose of cisplatin ...

Researchers connect electrical brain disturbances to worse outcomes following neurotrauma
2011-05-20
CINCINNATI—Electrical disturbances that spread through an injured brain like tsunamis have a direct link to poor recovery and can last far longer than previously realized, researchers at the University of Cincinnati Neuroscience Institute (UCNI) have found.
The disturbances, known as cortical spreading depolarizations, are short-circuits (electrical failures) that occur in a localized, or specific, area of injury and result in dampened brain waves. Because of their localization, the depolarizations are invisible in routine electroencephalography (EEG) exams. But they ...
UCSB localizing fruit, vegetable consumption doesn't solve environmental, health issues
2011-05-20
(Santa Barbara, Calif.) –– To David Cleveland, a professor of environmental studies at UC Santa Barbara, it seemed as though Santa Barbara County would be a great example of what many are advocating as a solution to the problems of a conventional agrifood network –– a local food system.
Santa Barbara County ranks in the top 1 percent of counties in the United States in value of agricultural products, with 80 percent of that value in fruits and vegetables. Farmers here grow some of the best fruits and vegetables in the country, and organic practices, farmers markets, and ...

Combating the C. diff terrorists on the loose in hospitals
2011-05-20
Just like intelligence agents watching for the real terrorists threatening to attack, monitoring healthcare worker adherence to mandatory hand-washing protocols via hand-washing squads in hospitals can go a long way to stop outbreaks of the opportunistic C. diff bacteria, says Irena Kenneley, an infection prevention and control expert and assistant professor of nursing from the Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing at Case Western Reserve University.
Kenneley consulted on an analysis of a national hospital practices survey for the Association for Professionals in Infection ...
