Blue Tax Inc. and Professional Bull Rider Ryan Dirteater Announce Partnership

Blue Tax becomes official helmet sponsor for Fan Favorite Rider.

2012-02-29

LOS ANGELES, CA, February 29, 2012 (Press-News.org) Blue Tax Inc. announced that they have reached an agreement with Professional Bull Rider Ryan Dirteater to be his Official Helmet Sponsor.

Blue Tax Inc. will activate the partnership through a camera-visible rider's helmet during the PBR's Built Ford Tough Series events in Glendale, Ariz.; Indianapolis; Uncasville, Conn.; Boise, Idaho; and Pueblo, Colo.

Blue Tax will provide three custom-painted helmets for Dirteater to wear during his quest to win the PBR World Championship.

"Blue Tax Inc. approached me and said that I was a rider that they wanted to put a sponsored helmet on, and said they would provide a few custom painted ones," said Dirteater, ranked third in the world standings. "I know this is their first time out with the PBR and a rider, so I am just happy that I've been riding well lately. I look forward to riding like I have been, and making Blue Tax proud."

"We didn't really know what to look for when sponsoring a rider, but we got a good tip that Ryan is a kid to watch, and it's paid off big," said Todd Lewis, vice president of Blue Tax Inc. "The kid is an animal. Since he has been wearing our helmet, he has had four Top 10 finishes in the BFTS, and in two of those he placed second. I would like to think that the helmet is the reason, but I know Ryan works hard every day and is doing the things he needs to do become a champion. Plus, he is just fun to watch and a heck of a nice guy. It's no surprise he is a fan favorite."

The BFTS is televised every week on CBS, CBS Sports Network, NBC, NBC Sports Network, and YouTube. BFTS telecasts are produced for the PBR under a multi-year agreement with David Neal Productions, a Los Angeles-based production company led by 34-time Emmy Award winner and Peabody Award winner David Neal, who serves as executive producer.

Study shows how the brain responds to deceptive advertising

2012-02-29

Several specific regions of our brains are activated in a two-part process when we are exposed to deceptive advertising, according to new research conducted by a North Carolina State University professor. The work opens the door to further research that could help us understand how brain injury and aging may affect our susceptibility to fraud or misleading marketing. The study utilized functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to capture images of the brain while study participants were shown a series of print advertisements. The fMRI images allowed researchers to ...

Eye movement not engaged in arms race, NYU researchers find

2012-02-29

We make our eye movements earlier or later in order to coordinate with movements of our arms, New York University neuroscientists have found. Their study, which appears in the journal Neuron, points to a mechanism in the brain that allows for this coordination and may have implications for rehabilitation and prosthetics. Researchers have sought to understand the neurological processes behind eye and arm movements. For example, when you reach for an object, what goes on in our brains so that our eyes and arms are in sync? Such coordination is central to the way different ...

Fewer women need repeat breast cancer surgeries with new service at University of Michigan

2012-02-29

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Nearly one in three women who have breast cancer surgery will need to return to the operating room for additional surgery after the tumor is evaluated by a pathologist. A new service at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center cuts that number drastically by having pathologists on-site in the operating suite to assess tumors and lymph nodes immediately after they are removed. Meanwhile, the surgeon and patient remain in the operating room until the results are back, and any additional operating can be done immediately. This cut the number ...

The end of the 'Lily of the Valley phenomenon' in sperm research?

2012-02-29

According to a 2003 study by German and American scientists, a component of the Lily of the Valley scent known as Bourgeonal alters the calcium balance of human sperm and attracts the sperm. The "Lily of the Valley phenomenon" – also the title of a book about smelling – was born as a result of this discovery that sperm act as swimming olfactory cells which follow a "scent trail" laid by the egg. However, a detailed explanation for the Lily of the Valley phenomenon remained illusive as neither Bourgeonal nor other scents could be identified in the female sex organ. Scientists ...

Are my twins identical?

2012-02-29

Parents may be misinformed during prenatal scans on whether their twins are identical or non-identical, say UCL researchers in a new commentary piece published today (29 February) in BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology. Determining if same-sex twins are identical or non-identical (from one egg or two; monozygotic or dizygotic) is not always straight forward, say the researchers. They looked at data from the Gemini study, a birth cohort of 2402 families with twins born in England and Wales in 2007. Parents of same sex twins (1586) were asked ...

Making the most of what you have

2012-02-29

The bacterium Mycoplasma pneumoniae, which causes atypical pneumonia, is helping scientists uncover how cells make the most of limited resources. By measuring all the proteins this bacterium produces, scientists at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Heidelberg, Germany, and collaborators, have found that the secret is fine-tuning. Like a mechanic can fine-tune a car after it has left the factory, cells have ways to tweak proteins, changing their chemical properties after production – so-called post-translational modifications. Anne-Claude Gavin, Peer ...

Nurses key in helping new cancer patients overcome fears

2012-02-29

EAST LANSING, Mich. — Often faced with overwhelming anxiety, patients newly diagnosed with lung cancer can find themselves in distress, and new research recommends nurses play a key role in alleviating concerns, leading to a better quality of life for patients. A diagnosis of lung cancer – the leading cause of cancer death in the United States – brings with it high levels of stress and raises existential issues and death-related thoughts and concerns in patients, said Rebecca H. Lehto, assistant professor in the College of Nursing at Michigan State University. In a ...

Sea level rise to alter economics of California beaches

2012-02-29

DURHAM, N.C. -- Rising sea levels are likely to change Southern California beaches in the coming century, but not in ways you might expect. While some beaches may shrink or possibly disappear, others are poised to remain relatively large -- leaving an uneven distribution of economic gains and losses for coastal beach towns, according to a study by researchers at Duke University and five other institutions. "Some beaches actually stand to benefit economically from sea level rise, creating winners and losers among California beach towns," said Linwood Pendleton, director ...

Stress changes how people make decisions

2012-02-29

Trying to make a big decision while you're also preparing for a scary presentation? You might want to hold off on that. Feeling stressed changes how people weigh risk and reward. A new article published in Current Directions in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science, reviews how, under stress, people pay more attention to the upside of a possible outcome. It's a bit surprising that stress makes people focus on the way things could go right, says Mara Mather of the University of Southern California, who cowrote the new review paper ...
