2012-03-05
CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA, March 05, 2012 (Press-News.org) YipDeals.com announces the extension of its service to the Charlottesville, Virginia community.

YipDeals.com is a unique local deal service that offers deep discounts on local goods and services while supporting local schools and charities.

YipDeals.com donates 12% of each deal purchased to the organization of the buyer's choice. With its home base in Northern Virginia, YipDeals.com has helped local schools and charities raise thousands of dollars easily by tapping into the popular group discount buying market.

Schools, charities, sports teams, and other organizations complete a free sign-up process on YipDeals.com and fill-out a profile page with information about the organization and their fundraising goals. Buyers then can choose to support the organization with 12% of their total purchase by selecting the school or organization during checkout.

Schools have implemented YipDeals.com as an easy and year-round way to replace or supplement traditional fundraising programs. No door-to-door solicitations are necessary and the program runs continuously year-round.

Local merchants receive a higher percentage of sales than larger group deal buying sites and control the number of deals offered. Studies show many businesses have failed due to the high number of deals required by larger sites and the redemption costs are often too high for a small business. YipDeals.com allows the merchant to control the number of deals offered, how often a deal is run, and deals can run for seven days compared to just three on the larger sites. YipDeals.com merchants also create a loyal customer base because they are supportive of the local community.

For more information on signing up a school or local charity, becoming a featured merchant, or receiving local deals by email, please visit http://www.YipDeals.com or contact Local Market Consultant, Emma Nicholson, at (434) 260-1630 or yipdealscville@gmail.com.

Prenatal remediation strategy significantly reduces lead poisoning in children

2012-03-05
Philadelphia, PA -- An initiative in St. Louis targeted the homes of pregnant women to receive inspection and remediation of lead hazards before the birth of a child. According to a study just published in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology this measure prevented childhood lead poisoning and reduced the overall burden of lead toxicity in children. Historically, the city had used an approach that waited until a child tested positive for lead poisoning, and then addressed home lead hazards to prevent future harm. "Our data provide evidence that a program ...

UC Davis research shows how the body senses a range of hot temperatures

2012-03-05
(SACRAMENTO, Calif.) —The winter sun feels welcome, but not so a summer sunburn. Research over the past 20 years has shown that proteins on the surface of nerve cells enable the body to sense several different temperatures. Now scientists have discovered how just a few of these proteins, called ion channels, distinguish perhaps dozens of discrete temperatures, from mildly warm to very hot. Researchers showed that the building blocks, or subunits, of heat-sensitive ion channels can assemble in many different combinations, yielding new types of channels, each capable of ...

New high definition fiber tracking reveals damage caused by traumatic brain injury, Pitt team finds

2012-03-05
PITTSBURGH -- A powerful new imaging technique called High Definition Fiber Tracking (HDFT) will allow doctors to clearly see for the first time neural connections broken by traumatic brain injury (TBI) and other disorders, much like X-rays show a fractured bone, according to researchers from the University of Pittsburgh in a report published online today in the Journal of Neurosurgery. In the report, the researchers describe the case of a 32-year-old man who wasn't wearing a helmet when his all-terrain vehicle crashed. Initially, his CT scans showed bleeding and swelling ...

Nearby chimpanzee populations show much greater genetic diversity than distant human populations

2012-03-05
Chimpanzee populations living in relatively close proximity are substantially more different genetically than humans living on different continents, according to a study published today in PLoS Genetics. The study suggests that genomics can provide a valuable new tool for use in chimpanzee conservation, with the potential to identify the population of origin of an individual chimpanzee or the provenance of a sample of bush meat. Common chimpanzees in equatorial Africa have long been recognized as falling into three distinct populations, or sub-species: western, central ...

Mystery deepens around dark core in cosmic collision

2012-03-05
SAN FRANCISCO -- Five years ago, San Francisco State researcher Andisheh Mahdavi and his colleagues observed an unexpected dark core at the center of Abell 520, a cosmic "train wreck" of galaxy clusters. With new space-based telescope observations, they have confirmed that the core really does exist. But they are no closer to explaining why it is there. When galaxy clusters crash into each other, the bright matter of galaxies sticks together with the mysterious substance called dark matter, leaving behind hot gases. Or at least that is what astronomers have observed in ...

Protecting living fossil trees

Protecting living fossil trees
2012-03-05
Scientists are working to protect living fossil trees in Fiji from the impact of climate change with cutting-edge DNA sequencing technology. Dr Peter Prentis, from QUT's Science and Engineering Faculty, said the findings would enable researchers to understand how biological diversity is generated. "Fiji is a hotspot for biodiversity. Most of the species that occur in Fiji aren't found anywhere else in the world," he said. "My project looks at how island species in these ancient groups of trees originated." Dr Prentis will use $150,000 DNA sequencer technology, called ...

R-loops break down gene silencing

2012-03-05
Researchers at the University of California, Davis, have figured out how the human body keeps essential genes switched "on" and silences the vast stretches of genetic repeats and "junk" DNA. Frédéric Chédin, associate professor in the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology, describes the research in a paper published today (March 1) in the journal Molecular Cell. The work could lead to treatments for lupus and other autoimmune diseases, by reversing the gene-silencing process known as cytosine methylation. "R-loops" are the key, say graduate student Paul Ginno, ...
