NEWCASTLE, ENGLAND, September 02, 2011 (Press-News.org) Northern Rock is offering a top-paying online cash ISA to complement its competitive portfolio of branch, postal and online savings accounts. This ISA is exclusively available through moneysupermarket.com and pays 3.05% tax-free* pa/AER** variable, with no bonus rate attached.
The exclusive Online ISA offers those who prefer to operate their accounts via the internet an instant access option for their tax-free* savings, and can be opened with no minimum initial deposit.
Kevin Mountford, head of banking at moneysupermarket.com, said: "If you're a UK taxpayer then it is important to make full use of your annual tax free allowance so you can make the most of your money.
"Not only is it important to make sure you find the best deal for your current savings needs, but you should always remember existing savings invested in ISAs elsewhere, which could be languishing on a poor rate.
"Moving existing savings into an account, such as Northern Rock's Online ISA which allows transfers of existing funds, can be beneficial but make sure you follow the proper ISA transfer procedures otherwise you will lose the tax free status on your savings."
Interest, which can be added to the account or paid into another account, is paid annually on 11 March on minimum balances of GBP1 (balances which fall below this amount will earn Northern Rock's prevailing rate of interest, 0.10% tax free* pa /AER**).
Strictly a limited issue, the variable rate Online ISA allows transfers in from other providers and additional deposits can be made to the cash ISA, within HM Revenue and Customs limits (GBP5,340 pa from 6 April 2011) up to 30 days after the product is withdrawn.
After this time, no further deposits will be accepted and this issue may be withdrawn without notice once fully subscribed.
Minimum withdrawals of GBP1 by BACS and GBP250 by CHAPS can be made from the account; however the customer will lose the tax free status on the amount withdrawn. There is a GBP35 fee for transfers out via CHAPS.

BETHESDA, MD – September 1, 2011 – A new study by the American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG), the country's leading genetics scientific society, found that more than 85 percent of states have genetics standards that are inadequate for preparing America's high school students for future participation in a society and health care system that are certain to be increasingly impacted by genetics-based personalized medicine.

Crippling condition associated with diabetes is often misdiagnosed and misunderstood
2011-09-02
Van Nuys, CA—Robert Winkler says he limped around on his painful left foot for six months, suffering unnecessarily from a misdiagnosis by a physician who didn't know about the symptoms and treatments for Charcot foot, a form of localized osteoporosis linked to diabetes that causes the bones to soften and break, often resulting in amputation.
When his primary care physician finally agreed to Mr. Winkler's request for an x-ray, they discovered the metatarsal bones in Mr. Winkler's left foot were all broken—a common symptom of this serious and potentially limb-threatening ...

Discovery suggests way to block fetal brain damage produced by oxygen deprivation
2011-09-02
LA JOLLA, CA – September 1, 2011 – Examining brain damage that occurs when fetuses in the womb are deprived of oxygen, researchers at The Scripps Research Institute have discovered that damage does not occur randomly but is linked to the specific action of a naturally occurring fatty molecule called LPA, acting through a receptor that transfers information into young brain cells.
This observation made in mice suggests that LPA may also be linked to the damage caused by oxygen deprivation in human fetuses. If that proves to be the case, the research may help scientists ...
Starving inflammatory immune cells slows damage caused by multiple sclerosis
2011-09-02
In a paper published today in the journal Scientific Reports, a pair of researchers at the University of California, San Diego Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences report that inhibiting the ability of immune cells to use fatty acids as fuel measurably slows disease progression in a mouse model of multiple sclerosis (MS).
MS is an autoimmune disease resulting from damage to the myelin sheath, a protective layer surrounding nerve cells. When the sheath is damaged, nerve impulses are slowed or halted, resulting in progressive physical and neurological disabilities. ...
