LEICESTER, ENGLAND, January 30, 2013 (Press-News.org) Blogger and artist Karys Munns at Who Is Grumble Beard? has won a GBP500 Next gift card in Next's New Year, New Shoes competition hosted by Laura Budd at A Daisy Chain Dream blog. For the competition, bloggers had to talk through their favourite pair of shoes and why they love them, then going on to showcase their style picks from Next's Spring Summer shoe collections. The winning post, which can be found at http://whoisgrumblebeard.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/shoes-pick.html combines Karys's love of fashion and art by incorporating Next shoes into her pieces.
For her entry, Laura begins by talking about her beloved pair of electric blue heels, which she has in a variety of colours. She then explains, "As a special feature of this blog I thought I would post my picks from Next's shoe collection alongside some of my sketchbook pages. I put my interest in fashion partly down to my enjoyment of getting composition right in my artwork. So it only seemed fitting I do a bit of a first on my blog, and combine both!"
The first two pairs are shoe boots and some black lace up western boots, which she would style with opaque black tights and a cute skirt and sweater on a slightly chilly day. Next are some grey embroidered boots and black zip block heel boots, which she says, "I have wanted some like this for ages, and it would be great before the winter is out to get some of these cosy and stylish looking shoes."
Host blogger Laura explained, "I chose her because of the incredible artwork she used to illustrate her post, I loved the creativity and her picks!"

Real angry birds 'flip the bird' before a fight
2013-01-29
DURHAM, N. C. -- Male sparrows are capable of fighting to the death. But a new study shows that they often wave their wings wildly first in an attempt to avoid a dangerous brawl.
"For birds, wing waves are like flipping the bird or saying 'put up your dukes. I'm ready to fight,' " said Duke biologist Rindy Anderson.
Male swamp sparrows use wing waves as an aggressive signal to defend their territories and mates from intruding males, Anderson said. The findings also are a first step toward understanding how the birds use a combination of visual displays and songs to ...
Study finds taking the stairs, raking leaves may have same health benefits as a trip to the gym
2013-01-29
CORVALLIS, Ore. – New research at Oregon State University suggests the health benefits of small amounts of activity – even as small as one- and two-minute increments that add up to 30 minutes per day – can be just as beneficial as longer bouts of physical exercise achieved by a trip to the gym.
The nationally representative study of more than 6,000 American adults shows that an active lifestyle approach, as opposed to structured exercise, may be just as beneficial in improving health outcomes, including preventing metabolic syndrome, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol.

Link found between insulin sensitivity, cells' powerhouses
2013-01-29
SAN ANTONIO (Jan. 28, 2013) — If findings of a new study in mice are any indication, it might be possible to fine-tune cellular powerhouses called mitochondria, tweaking one aspect to increase insulin sensitivity, reduce body and fat mass, and even extend life. Exploiting this target could one day lead to novel treatments for type 2 diabetes — an endocrine system disease that affects 8 percent of the U.S. population. The research also points to promising new avenues of investigation in the biology of aging.
The study, reported in The FASEB Journal by authors from the ...

The 'July effect' -- negligible for outcomes following spine surgery
2013-01-29
Charlottesville, VA, January 29, 2013. The "July effect"—the notion that the influx of new residents and fellows at teaching hospitals in July of each year adversely affects patient care and outcomes—was examined in a very large data set of hospitalizations for patients undergoing spine surgery. Researchers at the Mayo Clinic (Rochester, MN) and the University of Virginia Health System (Charlottesville, VA) found a negligible effect on periprocedural outcomes among patients treated by spine surgery. Detailed results of their thorough study are furnished in the article "The ...
