NEW YORK, NY, May 02, 2012 (Press-News.org) Adobe Systems Incorporated has announced that it has received the first Facebook Preferred Marketing Developer badge in all four APIs, which include Insights, Ads, Pages, and Apps. This new program is designed to help marketing professionals connect with brands in need of their services. Brianna Ladapo, a communications expert who has a great deal of experience in the marketing industry, is not sure that this rating is beneficial to the general public. As a result, she is urging marketing professionals--and their clients--to consider the nature of the companies they support.
The Facebook Preferred Marketing Developer program assesses the ability of marketing companies to utilize Pages, Insights, Ads, and Apps. Organizations that are involved in the program are able to earn a different badge for each of these APIs, but Adobe Systems is the first to earn all four badges. These badges indicate that the companies are capable of providing added value to customers above and beyond the tools that Facebook provides.
"Being the first company to qualify for all four Facebook PMD badges reflects our ongoing investment in providing complete solutions for digital marketers," commented Vice President of Strategy and Business Development for Digital Marketing Business of Adobe, John Mellor. "Our core philosophy is that digital marketing requires an integrated suite of applications and we have made recent advancements that integrate social marketing directly into the broader digital marketing mix. We're committed to ensuring that the Adobe Digital Marketing Suite provides
this integrated approach and allows marketers to unlock the growing potential of Facebook for their business."
Despite the benefits that such a program provides, its association with Facebook may do as much to harm the initiative as help it. Brianna Ladapo suggests that, due to the dubious nature of Facebook's commitment to user privacy, it may not be the best organization to support. Ultimately, Facebook gains as much in the way of marketing from this initiative as the organizations receiving the badges and the companies that hire them.
"While I congratulate Adobe Systems for being the first company to become qualified as a Facebook Preferred Marketing Developer," commented Brianna Ladapo, "it's difficult to know whether supporting the explosive growth and further marketing of a company already deemed a 'major security breach' by the Federal Trade Commission is really the right action to be taking in the face of such unprecedented information access."

Global warming: New research emphasizes the role of economic growth
2012-05-02
ANN ARBOR, Mich.—It's a message no one wants to hear: To slow down global warming, we'll either have to put the brakes on economic growth or transform the way the world's economies work.
That's the implication of an innovative University of Michigan study examining the evolution of atmospheric CO2, the most likely cause of global climate change.
The study, conducted by José Tapia Granados and Edward Ionides of U-M and Óscar Carpintero of the University of Valladolid in Spain, was published online in the peer-reviewed journal Environmental Science and Policy. It is the ...
HEALTH ALERT: Tall Tails Doggie Day Care Urges Pet Owners to Abandon Use of Rodent Poison
2012-05-02
The Los Angeles Times has reported the poisoning of veterinarians by phosphine gas after they induced vomiting in dogs that had ingested poison. According to the article, written by Thomas Maugh II, at least eight veterinary professionals have been harmed in this manner. Tall Tails Doggie Day Care is urging pet owners to quit using rodent poison, as it is the most common source of this lethal problem.
Rodent poisons are often made with zinc phosphide, which turns into a gas after mixing with stomach acid and water. When vomiting is induced in animals that have ingested ...
Smart gas sensors for better chemical detection
2012-05-02
ANN ARBOR, Mich.--- Portable gas sensors can allow you to search for explosives, diagnose medical conditions through a patient's breath, and decide whether it's safe to stay in a mine.
These devices do all this by identifying and measuring airborne chemicals, and a new, more sensitive, smart model is under development at the University of Michigan. The smart sensor could detect chemical weapon vapors or indicators of disease better than the current design. It also consumes less power, crucial for stretching battery life down a mineshaft or in isolated clinics.

With climate and vegetation data, UCSB geographers closer to predicting droughts in Africa
2012-05-02
(Santa Barbara, Calif.) –– What might happen if droughts were predicted months ahead of time? Food aid and other humanitarian efforts could be put together sooner and executed better, say UC Santa Barbara geographers Chris Funk, Greg Husak, and Joel Michaelsen. After over a decade of gathering and analyzing climate and vegetation data from East Africa, the researchers, who are part of the U.S. Agency for International Development's Famine Early Warning System Network (FEWS NET), say there is enough evidence to associate climate conditions in the region with projected rainfall ...
Thwarting the cleverest attackers
2012-05-02
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — In the last 10 years, cryptography researchers have demonstrated that even the most secure-seeming computer is shockingly vulnerable to attack. The time it takes a computer to store data in memory, fluctuations in its power consumption and even the noises it emits can betray information to a savvy assailant.
Attacks that use such indirect sources of information are called side-channel attacks, and the increasing popularity of cloud computing makes them an even greater threat. An attacker would have to be pretty motivated to install a device in your ...
Interpreting the Avastin-Lucentis study for persons with macular degeneration
2012-05-02
Clarksburg, MD—This week, the second-year results of an important clinical trial on age-related macular degeneration (AMD), known as the Comparison of AMD Treatments Trials (or CATT), were published in the journal Ophthalmology. Researchers found that two drugs known as Avastin (bevacizumab) and Lucentis (ranibizumab), commonly used to treat the wet form of AMD, were similarly effective in maintaining vision.
In this clinical trial funded by the National Eye Institute (NEI) of the National Institutes of Health, CATT researchers found that two years into the study, ...
Researchers find potential 'dark side' to diets high in beta-carotene
2012-05-02
COLUMBUS, Ohio - New research suggests that there could be health hazards associated with consuming excessive amounts of beta-carotene.
This antioxidant is a naturally occurring pigment that gives color to foods such as carrots, sweet potatoes and certain greens. It also converts to vitamin A, and foods and supplements are the only sources for this essential nutrient.
But scientists at Ohio State University have found that certain molecules that derive from beta-carotene have an opposite effect in the body: They actually block some actions of vitamin A, which is critical ...
