LONDON, ENGLAND, April 10, 2013 (Press-News.org) To celebrate a football match that divides a city, one of Manchester's central Premier Inns has transformed two of its floors for the upcoming City-United derby - one into red and one into blue.
As the city gears up for the match, which will take place at Old Trafford on Monday 8 April, Manchester football fans can head to the Premier Inn Manchester city centre (Piccadilly) on Dale Street to pledge their allegiance alongside other supporters. The hotel has even adorned each room with golden plaques in honour of some of Manchester's footballing greats.
United's red floor includes Room 99 - 'The Treble Room' - in homage of United's historical 1999 treble win and Room 19 - 'The Champions Suite' - the number of league titles United have won.
Not to be outdone by Sir Alex Ferguson's men, the City floor has 'The Aguero Suite' in room '93:20' named after the exact moment City striker Sergio Aguero scored the last gasp winner against Queens Park Rangers last season to snatch the Premier League crown from United's grasp.
The transformed hotel doesn't just accommodate the reds and blues.
Its top floor is 'neutral', holding the 'Dennis Law Suite' who played for United and City and 'The Sparky Mark Hughes Suite' who played for United and managed their noisy neighbours.
The now red, blue and purple hotel will clamp down on late check-outs with staff calling the time that has elapsed after guests are meant to check out as 'Fergie Time' - due to United's knack for scoring injury time goals after the 90 minutes is up.

Premier Inn Reveals the Nation's Snoozing Habits
2013-04-10
A new study from Premier Inn has found the typical Brit hits the snooze button at 6.22am but then has 10 restless minutes sleep before finally climbing out of bed - and that sleepy Brits love their beds so much that 10% hit the snooze button five times to grab 10 precious extra minutes under the duvet every morning.
The hotel chain surveyed 2,000 people on their sleeping habits, identifying four distinct early-morning categories:
There are the 'Eternal Snoozers' - who just can't get up when the alarm goes off and need to repeatedly hit snooze. One in ten is so reluctant ...
With Surprising Solution Discovered: Study Reveals Traditional Animal Castration Has Negative Psychological Effect
2013-04-10
A recent clinical study by the National Institute of Health (NIH) in Washington, DC revealed that neutering animals have negative psychological effects.
The study entitled Gonadectomy Negatively Impacts Social Behavior of Adolescent Male Primates revealed " for the first time that neutering animals affects social stimuli which includes behaviorial responses to social cues."
The report determined that neutering significantly impairs social dominance in both naturalistic setting and changes reactions to social stimuli in experimental settings.
The two year ...

Currently approved drugs found effective in laboratory mice against bioterror threats
2013-04-09
In the most extensive screen of its kind, Texas Biomed scientists in San Antonio have demonstrated the feasibility of repurposing already-approved drugs for use against highly pathogenic bacteria and viruses. The pathogens included emerging diseases and potential bioterror threats ranging from anthrax to the Marburg and Ebola viruses.
In testing a library of 1,012 Food and Drug Administration-approved drugs, commonly used for treatment of every-day ailments like diabetes and high blood pressure, the scientists found that ten were active against two or more bacteria and ...
Human shadow cast over the Caribbean slows coral growth
2013-04-09
Striking Caribbean sunsets occur when particles in the air scatter incoming sunlight. But a particulate shadow over the sea may have effects underwater. A research team, including staff scientist Héctor Guzmán from the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, linked airborne particles caused by volcanic activity and air pollution to episodes of slow coral-reef growth.
Like tree rings, long-lived coral skeletons preserve a record of coral growth. Previously, scientists linked coral-growth patterns in the Caribbean to a phenomenon called the Atlantic Multi-decadal Oscillation—fluctuations ...
Stanford seeks sea urchin's secret to surviving ocean acidification
2013-04-09
Stanford scientists have discovered that some purple sea urchins living along the coast of California and Oregon have the surprising ability to rapidly evolve in acidic ocean water – a capacity that may come in handy as climate change increases ocean acidity. This capacity depends on high levels of genetic variation that allow urchins' healthy growth in water with high carbon dioxide levels.
The study, co-authored by Stephen Palumbi, a Professor in marine sciences and the director of Stanford's Hopkins Marine Station, reveals previously unknown adaptive variations that ...

Spring rains bring life to Midwest granaries but foster Gulf of Mexico 'Dead Zone'
NEW ORLEANS, April 9, 2013 — The most serious ongoing water pollution problem in the Gulf of Mexico originates not from oil rigs, as many people believe, but rainstorms and fields of corn and soybeans a thousand miles away in the Midwest. An expert on that problem — the infamous Gulf of Mexico "Dead Zone" — today called for greater awareness of the connections ...

Fox Chase researchers show that a promising drug can help prevent head and neck cancers
2013-04-09
WASHINGTON, DC (April 9, 2013)—Head and neck cancers typically begin in squamous cells that line moist surfaces inside the mouth, nose and throat. Squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (HNSCC) is the sixth most common type of cancer in the United States, and it is sometimes preceded by the appearance of changes inside the oral cavity called precancerous lesions. The most common type of change is a white patch known as a leukoplakia. Because it often takes decades for leukoplakias to develop into HNSCC, there is a window of opportunity to recognize and revert precancerous ...
