NEW YORK, NY, May 08, 2012 (Press-News.org) It is increasingly difficult to deny the reality that, for businesses of all shapes and sizes, social media is the future of public relations. This point was driven home when major financial firm Goldman Sachs announced that it would be hiring a full-time social media strategist. According to a report in the New York Times, Goldman's social media strategist will be tasked with overseeing the various online communities that have built up around the firm, as well as cultivating a "positive online presence" for the company. This underscores just how vital social media implementation has become in today's business world, but where a company like Goldman Sachs can surely afford a full-time strategist, many smaller companies are not so lucky. A company called UWCCorp is seeking to change that; however, by providing small business owners with the tools they need for effective social marketing.
In fact, UWCCorp has announced a new series of training courses designed with the sole purpose of helping small business owners better understand the importance of social marketing. These training courses will show small business owners and home-based entrepreneurs how to generate traffic, convert traffic into sales, and expand their public profile, all through the strategic use of sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and even Google+.
The goal of this training is ultimately to help small business owners improve their bottom line. While many small business owners fear that Facebook and Twitter are little more than time-wasters, the actions taken by companies like Goldman Sachs suggest otherwise. UWCCorp's training is designed to offer simple but effective techniques for boosting sales, with a minimal commitment of time and company resources.
These social media training courses are only the latest in a long list of online tutorials offered by UWCCorp, All of these training courses are aimed at small business owners, and all of them are designed to help small business owners improve their profits through the strategic use of advanced online technology. Some of the other training modules offered by the company include those in Web design, basic HTML, affiliate marketing, and more.
UWCCorp's training is unique for many reasons, but chief among them is the fact that it is designed to be accessible to small business owners from all different backgrounds. This includes small business owners with little or no previous experience. The courses offered by the site are not only user-friendly, but they are designed to be done in the user's spare time and at the user's own pace, making them well-suited for the hectic schedules of small business owners.

New research brings satellite measurements and global climate models closer
2012-05-08
One popular climate record that shows a slower atmospheric warming trend than other studies contains a data calibration problem, and when the problem is corrected the results fall in line with other records and climate models, according to a new University of Washington study.
The finding is important because it helps confirm that models that simulate global warming agree with observations, said Stephen Po-Chedley, a UW graduate student in atmospheric sciences who wrote the paper with Qiang Fu, a UW professor of atmospheric sciences.
They identified a problem with the ...

Protein may represent a switch to turn off B cell lymphoma
2012-05-08
Researchers studying the molecular signals that drive a specific type of lymphoma have discovered a key biological pathway leading to this type of cancer. Cancerous cells have been described as being "addicted" to certain oncogenes (cancer-causing genes), and the new research may lay the groundwork for breaking that addiction and effectively treating aggressive types of B cell lymphoma.
B cell lymphomas, which occur both in children and adults, are cancers that attack B cells in the immune system.
"Our research suggests ways to devise more specific therapies to selectively ...
New study published on fertility awareness among American university students
2012-05-08
ORANGE, Calif. – A groundbreaking study lead by Chapman University professor Brennan Peterson, Ph.D. on fertility awareness of American college students will be published in the May 5th edition of Human Reproduction—a top-tier international journal in reproductive biology. It is the first such study on fertility awareness among American undergraduate university students. In the USA, the postponement of childbearing is reflective of contemporary social norms of delaying marriage, pursuing education and securing economic stability prior to having a baby. However the awareness ...

Scarring cells revert to inactive state as liver heals
2012-05-08
An international team of scientists, led by researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine, report that significant numbers of myofibroblasts – cells that produce the fibrous scarring in chronic liver injury – revert to an inactive phenotype as the liver heals. The discovery in mouse models could ultimately help lead to new human therapies for reversing fibrosis in the liver, and in other organs like the lungs and kidneys.
The work is published in the May 7, 2012 online Early Edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Diabetes drug could treat leading cause of blindness
2012-05-08
University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston researchers have discovered that a drug already prescribed to millions of people with diabetes could also have another important use: treating one of the world's leading causes of blindness.
In laboratory rat and cell-culture experiments, the scientists found that metformin, which is commonly used to control blood sugar levels in type 2 diabetes, also substantially reduced the effects of uveitis, an inflammation of the tissues just below the outer surface of the eyeball. Uveitis causes 10 to 15 percent of all cases of blindness ...

Heart attack survivors living close to highways face higher 10-year death risk
2012-05-08
BOSTON – Living close to a major highway poses a significant risk to heart attack survivors, reinforcing the need to isolate housing developments from heavy traffic areas, a Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center study concludes.
Writing in the May 7 edition of Circulation, researchers found heart attack survivors living less than 100 meters or 328 feet from a roadway have a 27 percent higher risk of over within 10 years than survivors living at least 1,000 meters away. That risk recedes to 13 percent for those living between 200 and 1,000-meter or 656 to 3,277-feet from ...
Looking for Earths by looking for Jupiters
2012-05-08
Washington, D.C.— In the search for Earth-like planets, it is helpful to look for clues and patterns that can help scientist narrow down the types of systems where potentially habitable planets are likely to be discovered. New research from a team including Carnegie's Alan Boss narrows down the search for Earth-like planets near Jupiter-like planets. Their work indicates that the early post-formation movements of hot-Jupiter planets probably disrupt the formation of Earth-like planets.
Their work is published the week of May 7 by Proceedings of the National Academy of ...
