ORLANDO, FL, November 29, 2012 (Press-News.org) Next week, FreeCast, Inc - a leader in digital TV distribution (DTVD) with the largest virtual guide of popular television, movies, and music content sources - will be unveiling a partnership with "As Seen on TV" DRTV giants Telebrands Corp that is expected to offer consumers an unmatched 10,000+ channels and decisive alternative to traditional cable and satellite offers over the Internet.
The product, RabbitTV, will deploy a unique yet simple distribution model to deliver digital media on a more massive scale than current set-top boxes (Roku, Boxee, Apple TV) and OTT services (Netflix, Vudu, iTunes), which rely on unit, monthly or annual fees that are often strained by constricting revenue share agreements and limited content selections. RabbitTV, on the other hand, will cost a mere $10 a year subscriber fee and includes the device at no charge.
The group plans to reach several million consumers with frequent nationally televised infomercials and widespread major retailer distribution. This will mark the first time a cable/satellite alternative will be marketed to consumers on such a massive retail scale.
This latest venture is all part of FreeCast's mission to "source and organize the world's digital media content into the largest virtual library guide, easily accessible through web-based devices, anytime, anywhere," says William Mobley, CEO.
Their partner, Telebrands Corp, originator of famous "As Seen On TV" products, is one of the industry's foremost consumer products companies with a focus in direct response television marketing. Their experience in mass product distribution should prove to catapult Rabbit TV sales to levels not yet seen by existing consumer media devices and services in the industry today.

NIH study suggests immune system could play a central role in AMD
2012-11-28
Changes in how genes in the immune system function may result in age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the leading cause of visual impairment in older adults, based on preliminary research conducted by National Institutes of Health (NIH) investigators.
"Our findings are epigenetic in nature, meaning that the underlying DNA is normal but gene expression has been modified, likely by environmental factors, in an adverse way," said Dr. Robert Nussenblatt, chief of the National Eye Institute (NEI) Laboratory of Immunology. Environmental factors associated with AMD include ...
Research from ASCO'S Quality Care Symposium shows advances and challenges in improving the quality of cancer care
2012-11-28
ALEXANDRIA, Va. – New studies released today reveal important advances in cancer care quality measurement, physician adherence to quality standards, and end-of-life care, while highlighting the overuse of contralateral prophylactic mastectomy. The studies were released in a presscast today in advance of ASCO's inaugural 2012 Quality Care Symposium. The Symposium will take place November 30 – December 1, 2012, at the Manchester Grand Hyatt in San Diego.
Four major studies were highlighted in today's presscast:

Fish ear bones point to climate impacts
2012-11-28
Scientists believe that fish ear bones and their distinctive growth rings can offer clues to the likely impacts of climate change in aquatic environments.
The earbones, or 'otoliths', help fish to detect movement and to orient themselves in the water. Otoliths set down annual growth rings that can be measured and counted to estimate the age and growth rates of fish.
"Otoliths can form the basis of new techniques for modelling fish growth, productivity and distribution in future environments," said Dr John Morrongiello of CSIRO's Wealth from Oceans Flagship, lead author ...
4 is the 'magic' number
2012-11-28
According to psychological lore, when it comes to items of information the mind can cope with before confusion sets in, the "magic" number is seven.
But a new analysis by a leading Australian professor of psychiatry challenges this long-held view, suggesting the number might actually be four.
In 1956, American psychologist George Miller published a paper in the influential journal Psychological Review arguing the mind could cope with a maximum of only seven chunks of information.
The paper, "The Magical Number Seven, Plus or Minus Two. Some Limits on Our Capacity ...
Biggest black hole blast discovered
2012-11-28
Quasars are the intensely luminous centres of distant galaxies that are powered by huge black holes. This new study has looked at one of these energetic objects – known as SDSS J1106+1939 – in great detail, using the X-shooter instrument on ESO's VLT at the Paranal Observatory in Chile [1]. Although black holes are noted for pulling material in, most quasars also accelerate some of the material around them and eject it at high speed.
"We have discovered the most energetic quasar outflow known to date. The rate that energy is carried away by this huge mass of material ...
Potentially toxic flame retardants found in many US couches
2012-11-28
DURHAM, N.C. -- More than half of all couches tested in a Duke University-led study contained potentially toxic or untested chemical flame retardants that may pose risks to human health.
Among the chemicals detected was "Tris," a chlorinated flame retardant that is considered a probable human carcinogen based on animal studies.
"Tris was phased out from use in baby pajamas back in 1977 because of its health risks, but it still showed up in 41 percent of the couch foam samples we tested," said Heather Stapleton, associate professor of environmental chemistry at ...
80 percent of parents interested in genetic risk assessment for siblings of children with autism
2012-11-28
Cambridge, MA (November 28, 2012)--The vast majority (80 percent) of parents with at least one child with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) would pursue genetic testing if a test were available that could identify risk in a younger sibling, citing the desire for earlier identification of children at risk, earlier evaluation and intervention, closer monitoring and lessened anxiety. The findings were reported in "Parental Interest in a Genetic Risk Assessment Test for Autism Spectrum Disorders," a survey published online today in the journal Clinical Pediatrics.
The survey ...
WSU researchers use 3-D printer to make parts from moon rock
2012-11-28
PULLMAN, Wash. - Imagine landing on the moon or Mars, putting rocks through a 3-D printer and making something useful – like a needed wrench or replacement part.
"It sounds like science fiction, but now it's really possible," says Amit Bandyopadhyay, professor in the School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering at Washington State University.
Bandyopadhyay and a group of colleagues recently published a paper in Rapid Prototyping Journal demonstrating how to print parts using materials from the moon.
Bandyopadhyay and Susmita Bose, professor in the School of Mechanical ...
