CARLSBAD, CA, November 03, 2011 (Press-News.org) Bacon, ham, sausage, pancetta - we tend to take smallgoods for granted, yet they're an important (not to mention delicious) staple in most of our diets. At Primo Smallgoods, deli meats are much more than just a savory snack. For this Australian food production company, smallgoods are a way of life and a family tradition.

"Nobody's going to pay you for being inefficient--someone's always going to be more efficient than someone else, and the customers will go to whoever has the best product at the best price," says Primo Smallgoods General Manager Rob Lederer. "So we're constantly looking at new ways to manufacture products, more cost effective ways to get more efficient and stay competitive." With the completion of a new factory which will consolidate the work of its three current Queensland facilities, the company is poised to maximize its efficiency while producing more fan-favorite smallgoods than ever before.

2011-11-03

One of the first families to enter Pardee Homes' HomewardBound program is now happily settled into their own, two-story, four bedroom home with the frustrations of earlier attempts at buying a home now a dim memory. Gary and Nicole Spear started their journey with Pardee Homes as unsure, doubtful home shoppers who had experienced frustration and disappointment dealing with home sellers and credit repair companies who were unable to help them.

Targeted antibiotic drug safest among recommended treatments for irritable bowel disease

2011-11-03

LOS ANGELES (Nov. 1, 2011) – Among the most commonly used treatments for irritable bowel syndrome – which affects as many as 20 percent of the United States population – a targeted antibiotic was shown to be the safest in a new study by Cedars-Sinai researchers, based on an analysis of 26 large-scale clinical trials. The study, for presentation at the American College of Gastroenterology annual meeting in Washington, D.C., examined drug interventions for IBS deemed to be of merit by a task force of the group . The study compared the therapies based on "number needed ...

Starving prostate cancer

2011-11-03

Each year about 3300 Australian men die of prostate cancer. It's Australia's second worst cancer killer for men, matching the impact of breast cancer on women. Current therapies for prostate cancer include surgical removal of the prostate, radiation, freezing the tumour or cutting off the supply of the hormone testosterone—but there are often side-effects including incontinence and impotence. Growing cells need an essential nutrient, the amino acid called leucine, which is pumped into the cell by specialised proteins. And this could be prostate cancer's weak link. ...

Technology makes storing radioactive waste safer

2011-11-03

Queensland University of Technology (QUT) researchers have developed new technology capable of removing radioactive material from contaminated water and aiding clean-up efforts following nuclear disasters. The innovation could also solve the problem of how to clean up millions of tonnes of water contaminated by dangerous radioactive material and safely store the concentrated waste. Professor Huai-Yong Zhu from QUT Chemistry said the world-first intelligent absorbent, which uses titanate nanofibre and nanotube technology, differed from current clean-up methods, such ...

Is that a robot in your suitcase?

2011-11-03

A flying robot as small as a dinner plate that can zoom to hard-to-reach places and a fleet of eco-friendly robotic farm-hands are just two of the exciting projects the robotics team at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT), based in Brisbane, Australia, is working on. The pint-sized propellor-powered robots can be packed away into a suitcase. They have multiple cameras which enable them to 'see' the world around them as they navigate their way through buildings, carrying out tasks like deliveries or inspections. "You'll be able to put your suitcase on the ground, ...

Digital media a factor in ferocity of political campaigns

2011-11-03

A University of Missouri study of recent political blogs indicates politics are getting nastier due to digital media, which are segmenting people into polarized interest groups. The researcher recommends a balanced approach to finding information in order to return civility to political discourse, which is at the heart of democracy. "One side is going to lose in every political discussion," said Ben Warner, associate professor of communication in the MU College of Arts and Science. "The danger with this open hostility found in digital media toward the other side in politics ...

Study shows that fast-food dining is most popular for those with middle incomes

2011-11-03

(SACRAMENTO, Calif.) — A new national study of eating out and income shows that fast-food dining becomes more common as earnings increase from low to middle incomes, weakening the popular notion that fast food should be blamed for higher rates of obesity among the poor. "There is a correlation between obesity and lower income, but it cannot be solely attributed to restaurant choice," said J. Paul Leigh, professor of public health sciences at UC Davis and senior author of the study, which is published online in Population Health Management. "Fast-food dining is most popular ...

Hospital tests reveal the secrets of an Egyptian mummy

2011-11-03

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — An ancient Egyptian mummy has had quite an afterlife, traveling more than 6,000 miles, spending six decades in private hands, and finally, in 1989, finding a home at the World Heritage Museum (now the Spurlock Museum) at the University of Illinois. The mummy's travels did not end there, however. It has made two trips to a local hospital – once in 1990 and again this year – for some not-so-routine medical exams. Egyptologists, a radiologist, a pathologist, a physical anthropologist and a mummy expert are using the best diagnostic tools available to learn ...

VLT observations of gamma-ray burst reveal surprising ingredients of early galaxies

2011-11-03

Gamma-ray bursts are the brightest explosions in the Universe [1]. They are first spotted by orbiting observatories that detect the initial short burst of gamma rays. After their positions have been pinned down, they are then immediately studied using large ground-based telescopes that can detect the visible-light and infrared afterglows that the bursts emit over the succeeding hours and days. One such burst, called GRB 090323 [2], was first spotted by the NASA Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. Very soon afterwards it was picked up by the X-ray detector on NASA's Swift satellite ...
