COLORADO SPRINGS, CO, January 01, 2012 (Press-News.org) The new design is brighter, faster and more reader-friendly. "Because of our phenomenal growth over the past year, the original site design just couldn't cut it anymore," explains site designer and Zombie Ninja Assassin Kelly Karnetsky. "We've completely revamped the site, with a new logo, new sections and generally more badassery. The content that our readers want is now easier to find, easier to experience and easier to share."
FleshEatingZipper has been around for a year, and during that time the site has amassed over 2,500 comments on 1,000 articles. Currently, over 250,000 people per month rely on FleshEatingZipper for honest, up-to-the-minute news, reviews and commentary on the hottest topics in the industry. FleshEatingZipper has added more writers this year and the site's popularity continues to rise.
In addition to the Games, Technology and Entertainment sections, the new FleshEatingZipper now includes an "Off-Grid" section for topics ranging from politics to sports to anything in between. "We're not shy about speaking our minds," explains staff writer and Galactic Emperor N Pfeifer. "And our readers seem to enjoy what we have to say, even when they don't agree with us. Now we're expanding our reach with even more topics for our readers to love or hate. The sky's the limit."
The updated website will also include more content in the form of two weekly comic strips. "The Walking Ted" is based on a concept by Rob Morris and follows the ups and downs of a self-aware zombie named Ted as he ruminates about life, death and brains in the post-apocalyptic world. The second comic, named after the site itself, follows the members of the FleshEatingZipper staff as they struggle with the website and each other.
"I'm excited that we're expanding into comics," says writer and Mister Fancy Pants Johnny Stephens. "Now we have even more ways to make fun of the world around us." Between the two comics, FleshEatingZipper's rapid growth and reader loyalty is expected to only increase into the next year. "You're going to see some amazing things from FleshEatingZipper in 2012," Stephens promises. "And I'm not just talking about the end of the world."
FleshEatingZipper was founded by four friends who, after taking their gaming, tech, and entertainment podcast from site to site, finally formed their own independent editorial website to showcase their unique (and often harsh) perspectives. Rob Morris, FleshEatingZipper's Senior Talentless Bum said, "People said we were crazy to break away and try this on our own... well, mostly WE said that, but we're technically people, so we count. People want the truth and that's what we always give them. Even if it sucks sometimes."

Great apes make sophisticated decisions
2012-01-02
Chimpanzees, orangutans, gorillas and bonobos make more sophisticated decisions than was previously thought. Great apes weigh their chances of success, based on what they know and the likelihood to succeed when guessing, according to a study of MPI researcher Daniel Haun, published on December 21 in the online journal PLoS ONE. The findings may provide insight into human decision-making as well.
The authors of the study, led by Daniel Haun of the Max Planck Institutes for Psycholinguistics (Nijmegen) and Evolutionary Anthropology (Leipzig), investigated the behaviour ...
Study finds most paramedics are victims of abuse in the workplace

TORONTO, Ont., Dec. 29, 2011 –More than two-thirds of paramedics surveyed have experienced verbal, physical or sexual abuse on the job, new research has found.

"EMS providers can experience violence in the workplace as they perform their jobs in unpredictable environments and near people in crisis," said Blair Bigham, the lead investigator.

I know something you don't know -- and I will tell you!
2012-01-02
Many animals produce alarm calls to predators, and do this more often when kin or mates are present than other audience members. So far, however, there has been no evidence that they take the other group members' knowledge state into account. Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, and the University of St. Andrews, Great Britain, set up a study with wild chimpanzees in Uganda and found that chimpanzees were more likely to alarm call to a snake in the presence of unaware than in the presence of aware group members, suggesting ...

The art of molecular carpet-weaving
2012-01-02
Even the costliest oriental carpets have small mistakes. It is said that pious carpet-weavers deliberately include tiny mistakes in their fine carpets, because only God has the right to be immaculate. Molecular carpets, as the nanotechnology industry would like to have them are as yet in no danger of offending the gods. A team of physicists headed by Dr. Markus Lackinger from the Technische Universität München (TUM) und Professor Thomas Bein from the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (LMU) has now developed a process by which they can build up high-quality polymer ...

Brain's connective cells are much more than glue
2012-01-02
Glia cells, named for the Greek word for "glue," hold the brain's neurons together and protect the cells that determine our thoughts and behaviors, but scientists have long puzzled over their prominence in the activities of the brain dedicated to learning and memory. Now Tel Aviv University researchers say that glia cells are central to the brain's plasticity — how the brain adapts, learns, and stores information.
According to Ph.D. student Maurizio De Pittà of TAU's Schools of Physics and Astronomy and Electrical Engineering, glia cells do much more than hold the brain ...
