CLEVELAND, Ohio (July 30, 2013)Exercise has proven health benefits, but easing hot flashes isn't one of them. After participating in a 12-week aerobic exercise program, sedentary women with frequent hot flashes had no fewer or less bothersome hot flashes than a control group. This randomized, controlled study from the MsFLASH Research Network was published today in Menopause, the journal of The North American Menopause Society.

The 248 women in the trial were either approaching menopause or were postmenopausal; 142 of them continued to go about their usual activities, and 106 participated in aerobic exercise training three times a week for 12 weeks at a fitness center. All the women kept daily diaries on their hot flashes and night sweats and on how well they slept and also completed questionnaires about insomnia, depression, and anxiety.

Although exercise had small positive effects on sleep quality, insomnia, and depression, it had no significant effect on hot flashes for the women overall. Race and initial fitness did make some difference, however. White women in the exercise program did show improvement in their hot flashes compared with white women who maintained their usual activity level, but there was no similar difference among African-American women. Also, women who were more fit to begin with had greater improvement in their hot flashes with exercise.

The study helps to settle a debate about the effect of exercise on hot flashes. Previous studies have been inconsistent, but this study corroborates a recent Cochrane review on the topic, which concluded that there was no evidence to support the use of exercise as an effective treatment for hot flashes and night sweats.

"Midlife women cannot expect exercise to relieve [hot flashes and night sweats] but may reasonably expect it to improve how they feel and their overall health," said the investigators.

Google debuts new, free Zagat site and apps

Indecisive foodies have another tool to help them find top-notch eating and drinking destinations. Google on Monday overhauled the Zagat.com website and released new, free Zagat mobile apps for Android and iOS.

Until now, Zagat required people to login to access the reviews. With this overhaul, Google is making Zagat content free and accessible to everyone without having to sign up.

Google purchased the restaurant-review company in 2011 and added its database of reviews to existing Google services like Google Maps and Google Plus in 2012.

Zagat ratings score dining, hotel and other entertainment venues on a scale of one to 30. They haven't replaced Google's own Yelp-like scoring system, which assigns locations a one- to five-star rating based on user reviews in Google Plus. Those scores currently show up in Google.com search results.

Zagat competes with other review databases such as Yelp and Foursquare. Unlike those crowd-sourced rankings, Zagat still relies on a slightly older, less-freewheeling model. It collects information about the places it rates using surveys and then tallies the results for the final scores.

The new Zagat has four categories of content. There are listings for individual places that bear the familiar one-paragraph summary and ratings for food, decor, service and an average cost. There is also original content put together by local editors in the form of lists, blog posts (called "Buzz") and videos.

The revamped Zagat site and apps only cover restaurants and nightlife in nine cities to start, but Google says it will add 50 locations in the coming months. It also plans to add in results for other types of destinations, including stores, hotels and places of interest.

For now, anyone living in or visiting Austin, Boston, Chicago, London, Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco or Washington can use the tools to choose an adventure.

Data reveals the century's trendiest names come from soap opera characters, reality stars, actors, sports stars and politicians

Names that have had short-term yet dramatic spikes over the past century can often be directly linked to historical events or popular culture
The number one most trendy name for girls, peaking in 1972, is Catina - the name of a soap opera character
Presidents, singers, actors and sports stars names have also spiked in relation to popularity
Analysis shows that U.S. parents are choosing more and more unique names for their babies

By Alex Greig

PUBLISHED: 16:50 EST, 29 July 2013 | UPDATED: 22:52 EST, 29 July 2013

Catina, Jalen and Aaliyah are among the most popular baby names from the twentieth century - and they are all based on well-known personalities of their time.

A new study has revealed the 10 girls and boys names that saw the biggest spikes in the 1900s, and through-out the years it was always star sportsmen, famous actors and actresses and even military chiefs who captured the imagination of parents.

In 1937, the most trendy name given to baby girls was Deanna. At that time Deanna Durbin was an actress who often played the model daughter in films and TV shows.

Top 10: These are the top trendiest boys and girls names according Flowing Data

Looking back on 2013, data may reveal a huge spike in certain unusual names. Perhaps Barack,? Beyonce, or even Snooki may briefly flare in popularity before returning to obscurity.

Flowing Data used the Social Security Administration's data to track the trendiest names of the past century, and the results are interesting in that they can almost always be directly linked to events or popular culture of the time.

There are always 'regular' names, such as Sophia, Matthew, Mary or John, that maintain a certain level of use. It's the more unusual names that go from nothing to hugely popular and back again that Flowing Data is interested in.

Popular: The name of Zoe Saldana's Colombiana character Cataleya (left) peaked in 2012, while girls called Aaliyah (right) are likely to have been born in 1994

'If a small percentage of the baby population was given a name one year and a relatively much higher percentage of the next year's baby population got said name, we consider that a trendy name,' according to Flowing Data.

The website used a mathematical equation to find out which names had the highest 'relative risk' - the probability of a name being used that generally has a low likelihood statistically.

Many of the names that proved the most trendy can be easily linked to contemporary events.

Wishful thinking: Deanna Durbin (left) often played the ideal daughter and her name was given to many girls in 1937, while Woodrow Wilson (right) was the namesake of boys the year he was elected President

The number one most trendy girl name was Catina, which reached its peak in 1972, when a character in the popular soap Where the Heart is gave birth to a baby girl and named her Katina.

The name Dustin spiked in 1967, the year Dustin Hoffman starred in the film The Graduate. The name Dawson reached its high the year the hugely popular Dawson's Creek debuted on television.

Many baby girls were named Aja in 1978, the year the Steely Dan album Aja came out.

1978: The Steely Dan album release coincided with a jump in baby girls named Aja

And Yulissa spiked in 1997, another soap opera name from the Mexican telenovela Te Sigo Amando.

There was a jump in boys with the unusual name of Woodrow in 1913, the year Woodrow Wilson was elected President.

Other names aren't as easy to place.

In 2005, there was a spike in baby boys who were named Talan, which Flowing Data tentatively puts down to Talan Torriero, a 'star' of the reality television show Laguna Beach.

The popularity of the name Deneen rose in 1964, but the analyst of the data couldn't put forth a candidate from whom the name might have gained it popularity.

Flowing Data also noted a trend for uniqueness in the past few decades, meaning people are using more unique names than ever before.

What's in a name: These are the top five names for boys and girls per quarter century from 1880

How to learn successfully even under stress

[unable to retrieve full-text content]Whenever we have to acquire new knowledge under stress, the brain deploys unconscious rather than conscious learning processes. Neuroscientists have discovered that this switch from conscious to unconscious learning systems is triggered by the intact function of mineralocorticoid receptors. These receptors are activated by hormones released in response to stress by the adrenal cortex.

Cambodia's Hun Sen shaken as opposition rejects poll result

By Prak Chan Thul

PHNOM PENH (Reuters) - Cambodia's long-ruling Prime Minister Hun Sen faced his biggest political setback in two decades on Monday as the country's opposition rejected an election result as tainted by widespread fraud, despite heavy losses for the ruling party.

Opposition leader Sam Rainsy, buoyed by a near doubling of seats in parliament, called for an inquiry into what he called massive manipulation of electoral rolls in Sunday's vote.

The government announced late on Sunday that Hun Sen's Cambodian People's Party (CPP) had won 68 seats in the 123-seat parliament to the opposition's 55, a loss of 22 seats for the ruling party.

That marked the 60-year-old Hun Sen's worst election result since the war-torn country returned to full democracy in 1998, although the CPP retained a governing majority to enable the prime minister to extend his 28-year rule.

Prolonged wrangling over the result and a weakened Hun Sen could raise policy uncertainty in the small but fast-growing Southeast Asian nation that is drawing growing investor interest and has forged strong economic ties with China and Vietnam.

But the opposition's chances of overturning the outcome are slim given the ruling party's grip on the courts and with major foreign donors like the United States unlikely to reject the result without evidence of massive fraud.

The Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP), whose campaign was given a boost by the return from exile of leader Sam Rainsy, said it wanted an investigation committee set up with representatives from political parties, the United Nations, the election authority and non-governmental organizations.

"There were 1.2 million to 1.3 million people whose names were missing and could not vote. They deleted our rights to vote, how could we recognize this election?" Sam Rainsy, a French-educated former finance minister, told a news conference.

"There were ghost names, names only on paper."

The opposition tapped into growing concern among Cambodians over rising inequality and entrenched corruption that Hun Sen's critics say his policies have exacerbated.

Hun Sen, who has yet to speak publicly about the outcome, may have to adjust some policies in light of the surge in opposition support and show more sensitivity to public opinion. The loss of its two-thirds majority means the CPP will need opposition support to enact any changes in the constitution.

But Hun Sen still has the ability to control policymaking through his majority and the entrenched networks of political influence he has built within the CPP.

"It's definitely unprecedented and unexpected but for now I don't think regime stability is at stake," said Giulia Zino, a Southeast Asia analyst at Control Risks group in Singapore.

ANGRY VOTERS

The CPP had 90 seats in the outgoing parliament and the parties that united to form the CNRP had 29, with minor parties holding the remaining four. Cambodia's election commission has yet to announce how many seats each party has won, and will not announce full, official results until August 15 at the earliest.

Rights groups have criticized the electoral system as heavily biased in favor of the ruling party. The European Union declined to deploy poll monitors for this election after Cambodia did not act on its previous recommendations.

The Transparency International group, which helped monitor the election, cited various irregularities in the vote and said in a statement it was "very concerned about the disenfranchisement of citizens and suspect voters".

Voting on Sunday, like the campaign itself, was for the most part peaceful.

The CPP, backed by a compliant domestic media and superior resources, had been confident of victory. Analysts had predicted a reduction in its majority after the merger of two main opposition parties, as well as the return of Sam Rainsy, but the extent of opposition gains was a surprise.

Rising garment exports plus heavy flows of aid and investment from China have fuelled rapid economic growth, but that has been accompanied by a rise in social tension.

Cambodians have protested more frequently over poor conditions in the garment industry and land rights in the country of 14 million, where a third of people live on less than 65 U.S. cents per day.

The urban population has swelled in recent years, giving rise to a new generation of young voters who have access to wider sources of information online and who tend to support the opposition.

"Democracy is stronger in Cambodia than most outsiders anticipated," said Douglas Clayton, the chief executive of the Leopard Capital investment fund in Phnom Penh.

"The government will likely become more consultative and sensitive to public opinion."

The United Nations organized an election in 1993 that put Cambodia on a rocky path towards stability after decades of turmoil that included the 1975-79 "Killing Fields" rule of the communist Khmer Rouge.

Hun Sen, a former junior commander in the Khmer Rouge who broke away during their rule, lost that election but refused to accept the result and negotiated a position as joint prime minister before seizing power in a coup in 1997.

Apple trims Android?s U.S. smartphone lead as Verizon sells most iPhones

apple-kantar-smartphones-us

Apple is making a slight dent in Android?s lead among U.S. smartphone owners, picking up more than three percentage points of market share at the end of the June 2013 quarter. By comparison, Google?s mobile software slipped a bit, giving up almost one percent, according to new research.

By the end of the June quarter, Apple?s iOS had 42.5 percent of the U.S. smartphone market, up from 39.2 percent a year earlier. By contrast, Android fell to 51.5 percent from 52.6 percent during the same period, according to research firm Kantar Monday?

Perhaps the most interesting bit is the per-carrier breakdown of iPhone vs. Android sales.?According to Kantar?- and?based on 240,000 interviews per year with mobile phone users ? Verizon remains Apple?s best source for carrier sales of the iPhone, registering forty percent of its U.S. iPhone sales.

This is interesting because you?ll remember Verizon has said it has had trouble meeting its iPhone sales promise, potentially owing Apple $14 billion for unsold handsets.

Long-time iPhone carrier AT&T sold just a hair fewer iPhones, registering 39 percent of Apple sales during the quarter ended June. Sprint and T-Mobile rounded out the U.S. iPhone carriers, selling ten percent and eight percent, respectively.

As for Android, it sold 35 percent of devices on the Verizon network, seventeen percent on Sprint, sixteen percent on AT&T and thirteen percent on T-Mobile.

Kantar noted that U.S. women and featurephone owners upgrading to smartphones were a large portion of Verizon?s iOS sales.

When looking at the consumers purchasing from Verizon currently, we see a lot more females and those upgrading from a feature phone to an iOS device compared to other carriers.

Microsoft gained some much-needed good news, its Windows Phone?capturing four percent of the U.S. smartphone sales, up from 2.9 percent a year earlier, according to Kantar.

Although Verizon also lead other U.S. carriers in Android handset sales, Sprint had the second-largest percentage of smartphones in the U.S. powered by Google?s software, at seventeen percent.

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) ? If Michael Phelps is planning a comeback, it's on hold for now.

The most decorated Olympian in history was wearing a large boot cast on his right ankle and foot. He was limping Sunday at a sponsor's appearance at the world championships.

Phelps told some officials that he recently got hurt playing golf, apparently when he stepped in a hole.

Phelps' agent did not immediately return a request for comment.

Phelps retired from swimming after last year's London Olympics with a record 22 career medals.

There has been speculation he's considering a return for the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games.

Chris Christie-Rand Paul tiff on foreign policy reflects deep rift in GOP

In Congress, the divide between Team Christie and a more libertarian Team Paul was on display in the debate over the Amash amendment that sought to de-fund the NSA surveillance program.

By David Grant,?Staff Writer / July 26, 2013

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky. speaks with reporters in Louisville, Ky., on Monday.

The foreign policy tussle between Chris Christie and Rand Paul, two likely 2016 Republican presidential contenders, marks the most public flaring of a long-simmering debate between the GOP?s long-time hawkish bent and the libertarian infusion the party has experienced in the last two election cycles.

Skip to next paragraph

'; } else if (google_ads.length > 1) { ad_unit += ''; } } document.getElementById("ad_unit").innerHTML += ad_unit; google_adnum += google_ads.length; return; } var google_adnum = 0; google_ad_client = "pub-6743622525202572"; google_ad_output = 'js'; google_max_num_ads = '1'; google_feedback = "on"; google_ad_type = "text"; // google_adtest = "on"; google_image_size = '230x105'; google_skip = '0'; // -->

When push comes to shove, do Republicans weigh in on the side of national security and foreign intervention or of privacy and greater international detachment? And which path will help grow a political party that even some of its leaders fear faces deep demographic challenges?

Of course, both Senator Paul (R) of Kentucky and New Jersey Governor Christie would argue their path does all those things ? they just strongly disagree about how to proceed.

?This strain of libertarianism that?s going through parties right now and making big headlines I think is a very dangerous thought,? Christie said on a panel in Aspen, Colo. on Thursday, according to the New York Times.

Later, he continued: ?The next attack that comes, that kills thousands of Americans as a result, people are going to be looking back on the people having this intellectual debate and wondering whether they put ?? before abruptly ending his thought.

In a Facebook post, Paul, who most famously launched an hours-long filibuster over domestic US drone use and who has pushed to cut off foreign aid to many restive Middle East nations, rejoined that ?Chris Christie thinks freedom is dangerous. What's dangerous is a foreign policy that borrows from China to pay people who burn our flag in Egypt.?

Paul?s political Facebook page was less restrained, calling Christie ?Obama?s favorite Republican? and wondering if the governor approves of sending weapons to ?al Qaeda allies? in Syria.

While the tiff is a spot of positioning between two presidential contenders at either end of a particular policy debate, it?s also an argument that reverberates deep down into the Republican Party.

In Congress, there?s a stark divide between Team Christie and Team Paul.

Rep. Peter King (R) of New York, a former chairman of the Homeland Security Committee and a veteran foreign policy hawk, said he ?isn?t saying no? to a potential presidential run in part because ?when I see people like Rand Paul talking about drones killing people out to get a cup of coffee, I don't want that to be the face of the national Republican Party," he told The Hill.

But the reason Congressman King, a 20-year House veteran, has found himself back in the congressional majority is because of a surge of more Paul-minded reinforcements like Rep. Raul Labrador (R) of Idaho. And those folks want more Rand, not less.

Mit der Internet Explorer 11 Developer Preview ist die neueste Version des Microsoft Browsers ab sofort auch f?r Windows 7 verf?gbar. Die IE11 Developer Preview baut auf den Fortschritten des IE10 auf und bietet Windows 7 Nutzern eine verbesserte JavaScript Performance, schnellere Ladezeiten, hardwarebeschleunigte 3D-Webgrafiken dank WebGL, eine erweiterte Unterst?tzung moderner Web-Standards sowie HTML5-Videowiedergabe ohne zus?tzliche Plug-ins. Insbesondere Entwickler profitieren zudem von den rundum erneuerten F12-Entwicklertools, mit denen Web-Apps schnell und effizient optimiert werden k?nnen. Jetzt ist es noch einfacher moderne Webinhalte f?r weltweit mehr als 700 Millionen Windows Nutzer zu entwickeln.

Schneller und effizienter Surfen: Dank der optimierten Hardwarebeschleunigung des IE11 werden Bilder komplett in der Grafikeinheit des Rechners (GPU) dekodiert, wodurch Seiten deutlich schneller geladen, weniger Arbeitsspeicher verbraucht und mehr Energie gespart wird. Zudem ist der IE11 der erste Browser, der auch Text in der GPU rendert. Um die Leistungsf?higkeit des Browsers zu testen, finden Nutzer auf der IE Testdrive Seite neue Demos.

Unterst?tzung moderner Web-Standards: Der IE11 ist der erste Browser, der den W3C Resource Priorities Standard unterst?tzt, womit Webentwickler festlegen k?nnen, in welcher Reihenfolge die Elemente einer Webseite geladen werden sollen. Zudem unterst?tzt der neue Browser Prefetching und Prerendering (Vorausladen), wodurch Webentwickler einzelne Links markieren k?nnen, so dass der Browser die Seiten bereits antizipiert und l?dt, bevor der Nutzer sie anklickt.

3D-Webgrafiken mit WebGL: F?r die Darstellung und Entwicklung von anspruchsvollen, interaktiven 2D- und 3D-Grafiken im Browser unterst?tzt der IE11 ab sofort die moderne Webtechnologie WebGL.

HTML5-Videowiedergabe: Der IE11 unterst?tzt die Wiedergabe von HTML5-Videos ohne zus?tzliche Plug-ins. Um eine professionelle Qualit?t der Online-Videos zu erm?glichen, unterst?tzt der Browser die aktuellsten Standards wie TTML and SDP.

Zeitgleich mit dem Launch der Developer Preview erh?lt auch das kostenlose Toolkit modern.IE ein umfassendes Update ? neben zus?tzlichen virtuellen Maschinen zum Testen des IE11 gibt es au?erdem ein neues Screenshot-Tool, mit dem sich die eigene Website auf unterschiedlichen Browsern und Ger?ten simulieren l?sst.

Windows 7 Nutzer k?nnen die Internet Explorer 11 Developer Preview hier herunterladen. Mehr Informationen gibt es auf dem IE Blog und dem Exploring IE Blog. Eine Liste aller neuen Funktionen finden Entwickler im IE11 Preview Developer Guide. Windows 8 Nutzer k?nnen den IE11 testen, indem sie die Windows 8.1 Preview installieren.
