Brent steady above $109 after sliding for five days, Mideast support
SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Brent futures held steady above $109 as investors judged the previous session's fall in prices to their lowest in nearly three weeks as an opportunity to buy, with simmering tensions in the Middle East providing additional support.
Asian shares, the euro and base metals all recovered on renewed interest for riskier assets as better data from the United States and Europe revived hopes the global economy is not worsening further.
For oil, intensifying violence in Lebanon linked to the conflict in Syria escalated worries about supply disruption from the region.
Brent crude rose 36 cents to as much as $109.80 a barrel and traded at $109.42 by 0405 GMT, after declining for five days to the lowest since October 4. U.S. oil rose 24 cents to $88.89.
"We are seeing a moderate risk-on mood in the Asia Pacific," said Ric Spooner, chief market analyst at CMC Markets in Sydney. "Equities were up and looked like that was flowing through to the oil market. We are seeing a bit of anticipatory confidence about China basing out and on the green shoots in the United States."
At least seven people were killed and dozens wounded in gunbattles in the Lebanese capital Beirut and coastal Tripoli on Monday. The clashes have heightened fears that Syria's civil war with its sectarian dimensions is now spreading into Lebanon, and may spread further across the region.
Yet, oil is poised to fall in the coming weeks as markets are well supplied while the outlook for global economic growth remains weak, Spooner said. Spooner expects Brent to slide to $105 a barrel in the next few weeks, with U.S. oil trading between $80-$85.
Prices are also under pressure from expectations U.S. oil inventories likely rose for the third straight week as imports recovered, a preliminary Reuters poll of analysts showed.
Crude inventories were expected to have risen 1.7 million barrels for the week ended October 19. All seven analysts saw a build in stockpiles. In the previous week, domestic oil stocks rose 2.9 million barrels to 369.2 million barrels, data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA) showed.
Brent may revisit its October 3 low of $107.67 as it has cleared support at $109.68, while U.S. oil is expected to retest support at $88.19, with a good chance of breaking it and falling more to $86.69, Reuters technical analyst Wang Tao.

Study suggests home-based, non-invasive therapy is effective in treating gastroparesis symptoms
Las Vegas, NV (October 22, 2012) Diabetic patients who suffer from a common complication of diabetes called gastroparesis may find that chronic electrical stimulation (ES) at specific acupuncture points could relieve gastroparesis symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, early satiety, abdominal fullness, upper abdominal pain and bloating, according to study results unveiled today at the American College of Gastroenterology's (ACG) 77th Annual Scientific meeting in Las Vegas.
The study, "Chronic Electrical Stimulation at Acupuncture Points Improves Dyspeptic Symptoms," used a watch-sized digital microstimulator that was specially developed for this project to assess the effects of ongoing electrical stimulation at acupuncture points on gastroparesis symptoms in diabetic patients with refractory gastroparesis. Despite medical therapy, these patients have not found relief for their symptoms and experience frequent physician and emergency room visits or hospitalizations because often they are unable to eat or keep food down and maintain proper nutrition, according to lead investigator Jiande Chen, Ph.D., of the University of Texas Medical Branch. "These are very severe symptoms and could be life-threatening as the treatment options for these patients are very limited and there are no effective medications," said Dr. Chen who noted that the device looks and works like the microstimualtors used to alleviate motion sickness that are already on the market.
Diabetes is a lifelong disease in which there are high levels of sugar in the blood. High blood glucose causes chemical changes in nerves and damages the blood vessels that carry oxygen and nutrients to the nerves. Gastroparesis is a type of nerve damage affecting the vagus nerve which controls the movement of food through the digestive tract. Ten to fifteen percent of the 25.8 million Americans living with diabetes have gastroparesis. This condition can worsen diabetes by making it more difficult to manage blood glucose levels because a delay in gastric emptying can cause a spike in glucose levels when the food finally enters the small intestine, according to the American Diabetes Association.
The device used for this blind cross-over design study on 26 diabetic patients with gastroparesis (18 completed the study) was worn either on the wrist or the leg with four-week ES and four-week sham ES in a randomized order. Electrical stimulation was performed via surface ECG electrodes placed at acupoints PC6 and ST36 using pulse trains. Sham-ES was performed using same parameters via non-acupoints. The PC6 acupuncture point is located on the wrist about 2 1/2 fingers up from the wrist crease on the inside of the forearm, while ST36 is located on the front of the leg, one hand width (four fingers) below the kneecap, on the outside, in the depression between the shinbone and the leg muscle.
Patients were asked to self-apply ES/Sham ES for two hours after each lunch and dinner and the electrogastrogram (EGG) and ECG were recorded at the beginning and end of each 4-week treatment.
According to investigators, 4-week ES not sham-ES "significantly improved" 5 of 9 gastroparesis symptoms: nausea by 29.7 percent; vomiting by 39.3 percent; abdominal fullness by 21.4 percent, bloating by 20.6 percent and retching by 31.1 percent. ES also resulted in a trend of increased vagal activity after eating.
"With all five symptoms significantly improving between 20 and 40 percent, this home-based, non-invasive electrostimulation therapy is feasible and effective in treating gastroparesis symptoms and possible mechanisms involving central, gastric and autonomic functions require further study, " said Dr. Chen. "Although this is a small study, the results are noteworthy because the side-effects and the cost are low." Dr. Chen added that the device is not yet on the market.

Website Design: Are You Making Bad Choices? | Business 2 ...
Website design is subjective. It?s a matter of taste and can go in lots of different directions. Add in a group of highly opinionated stakeholders and you are likely to end up with a website that resembles a Jackson Pollack painting.
Some stakeholders are drawn to warm colors like reds and oranges. Others may prefer blues and greens. Some might like a minimalist look while others want a site that is rich with detail.
You could have a CEO who paints or shoots photographs and has a great eye for art and design. But here?s the thing, she is not your target audience.
Your IT Director might have some strong opinions about user interface but he is not your target user. Maybe your Marketing Director is a fan of polka dots? OK, I?ll stop. You get the picture.
Website design also has a lot of ?rules.? The problem with rules and the internet is that the rules of today might be completely meaningless in tomorrow?s web.
I Googled the phrase ?website design rules? and got 314,000,000 results (h/t Rebel?s Guide to Email Marketing). That?s a lot of rules. Think they all apply? Probably not.
I?ve said this before: your website is for your target audience. Stop and read that sentence again.
While you might find many design ideas and website best practices (73,300,000 results for that phrase), the only hard and fast rule that applies is? do what works for your target audience.
It is much easier to design for conversion than it is to satisfy personal tastes. Take away the hassle of trying to choose a color palette, font or background texture that will please everyone in your office. Whew! What a relief. So what?s left? Your goals!
- Who is your target audience and what do you want them to do?
- How can your site?s design help with that?
Let?s look through the elements of design and see how they might relate to your goals?
Website Design Elements: Color
Color can be used in many different ways. It should not be used simply because it is someone?s favorite (unless that someone is every potential client).
Instead, use color as signal, indicator or tone setting device. Color can be used to draw attention to something, like a brightly colored button or graphic.
Color can also be used to show strength, stability or calm. And of course you can use dark and foreboding colors to show the user you are dealing with something scary.
The use of color should be aligned with the goals of the website and not simply with someone?s personal tastes. The colors used should help the target user get to where they need to go and where you want them to end up.
Website Design Elements: Layout
Here we also run into a lot of opinions about what looks best. But, again, we should really focus on what works best? for the user.
The arrangement of information on a page makes a difference when it comes to usability and achieving conversion goals. Users are driven by layout and visual clues to focus on a particular piece of the design.
Based on most studies, the typical user will scan a page in a capital ?F? pattern. Your layout can take advantage of this by placing the most important calls to action in the two horizontal lines within the ?F?.
In other words, overlay a big F on your design. Is the important stuff on those two lines?
Extra Credit: A/B Split Testing
Of course, nothing is a given when it comes to the web. The best way to see what works is to test. You can try some A/B split testing with your landing pages?
Basically, create two versions of the same page with different layouts. Then, use those two pages intermittently for a couple of weeks. Then check your web stats to see which layout performed better. From there, you simply implement the winning layout and trash the loser.
Website Design Elements: Images
Last, I want to talk about images (and a little about video). Images are obviously very powerful and can be incredibly effective marketing tools. Instagram and Pinterest (sites built on images) are wildly successful.
Including images in your design can certainly help. A picture is worth a 1,000 words. Make sure those 1,000 words are good ones.
An image, like color, should support a theme or act as a visual cue. Sometimes the images can be part of a call to action or worked into the design as a way to draw the eye to something important.
Whether you are using stock photos or original images, you want to make sure that these tie into your goals. Simply using images to add color or fill space is not always the way to go.
Video is a similar animal. Video marketing is on the rise. Video works. However, it can be distracting, and sometimes downright annoying, if not implemented properly. Make sure you are not detracting from your message or pulling attention from your goals with the use of video.
When dealing with images, remember that speed is the key. Optimize your images and videos for slow connections. You want these to promote your message, not be a barrier to it.
Your Mantra: Does it make sense for the target user?
Sometimes what seems like a great idea in design can deliver disastrous results. If you spend your time trying to be cute or bleeding edge and forget about your target audience, you might not achieve the goals you?ve set for your website.
I?m not saying that cute or bleeding edge is always bad. In fact, if it will drive positive action on the part of the target user, these design methods could prove to be very effective. Just make sure that what you use in your design is tied to your overall objective?
- Bring visitors
- Engage visitors
- Convert visitors
What do you think?
How much is your website designed for you?
And how much is it designed for the user?

94% Side by Side
For film tech nerds the world over, this documentary about the advent of digital filmmaking and what it means for the old school film purists is an engaging must-see. Keanu Reeves narrates and interviews an impressive roster of directors, cinematographers, editors, actors, and execs through this highly technical history and many of the subjects are truly game. I think their candidness is largely due to Reeves being there. Most seem to feel really comfortable around him, which is essential to getting some of the gold that comes out of the likes of Steven Soderbergh and David Fincher in particular. Editor Anne Coates, the 86-year-old editor of such classics as LAWRENCE OF ARABIA (1962) and OUT OF SIGHT (1998) brings a refreshing and surprising perspective. Just when you expect the film vs. digital argument to have lines drawn depending on age, Ms. Coates shows a delightful openness to the new technology. This is an astounding time capsule piece which demonstrates how truly far we've come in digital image quality, particularly just in the past few years. There are times where you'll go back and forth about how you feel, because ultimately, both sides make great points. I couldn't believe how terrible some of the earlier digital films looked (TADPOLE or CHUCK AND BUCK anyone?). This may feel really too inside baseball for the layperson, but if you have any interest in how we experience filmed stories, this is essential viewing.

Oswego (see panoramic c 1909 above) is a city in Oswego County, New York, United States. The population was 18,142 at the 2010 census. Oswego is located on Lake Ontario in north-central New York and promotes itself as ?The Port City of Central New York?. It is the county seat of Oswego County.?The city of Oswego is bordered by the towns of Oswego, Minetto, and Scriba to the west, south, and east, respectively, and by Lake Ontario to the north. The State University of New York at Oswego is located just outside the city on the lake. Oswego is the namesake for communities in Montana, Oregon, Illinois, and Kansas.
Early History
The British established a trading post in the area in 1722 and fortified it with a log palisade later called Fort Oswego. The first fortification on the site of the current Fort Ontario was built by the British in 1755 and called the ?Fort of the Six Nations.?
Military Base
Fort Ontario was destroyed by the French upon capturing it in the Battle of Fort Oswego, during the French and Indian War. Construction of a second British fort began on the same site in 1759, but Fort Oswego was only used as a cannon emplacement. During the American Revolution, the British abandoned the Fort, and in 1778, American troops destroyed it. In 1782, the British reoccupied Fort Ontario, and didn?t forfeit it to the U.S. until 1796, thirteen years after the cessation of hostilities in the Revolution. During the War of 1812, a weaker American garrison at Fort Oswego was overwhelmed by superior British forces, in order to stem the flow of supplies from the interior of New York state. Throughout the 19th Century, the U.S. military maintained a presence at Fort Ontario.
At the end of the Second World War, the ?new? fort was used as a ?Safe Haven,? an emergency refugee center for victims of the Nazi Holocaust, the only one of its kind in the U.S. In 1946 the Fort was transferred to the State of New York. Initially used to house veterans and their families during the post-war period, development of the fort as a State Historic Site began in 1949
The fort that stands today was built between 1839 and 1844. Major masonry improvements to the forts outer wall were undertaken, but left incomplete when in 1872, congress cancelled its funding. By 1901, the old fort was abandoned.
Today, Fort Ontario is being restored to its 1867-72 appearance. Costumed interpreters recreate the lives of the officers, men, and civilians who garrisoned the fort in 1868-9.
Growth of the City
Oswego was incorporated as a village on March 14, 1828, and the Oswego Canal, a branch of the Erie Canal, reached the area in 1829. The city was incorporated in 1848. When the city incorporated, its area and population were removed from the figures reported for the towns. In the 1850s, at the height of a popular water-cure movement occurring in the U.S.A., in turn stimulating growth, Oswego was the home of the Oswego Water Cure establishment, which Stonewall Jackson reportedly visited in August 1850.
Oswego is home to the port of Oswego and once was a major railroad hub for the New York Central, Lackawanna/Erie Lackawanna, and NY Ontario and Western railways. Three stations remain (as landmarks not functioning): two passenger (D&LW and NYC) and one freight (NYC) as does a rather large trestle over the Oswego River. The tunnel on a local hiking trail in the city was the north end of the NYO&W.
Oswego was home to almost 1,000 Jewish refugees during World War II including one particularly feisty refugee by the name of Scruff. Fort Ontario was the only attempt by the United States to shelter Jewish refugees during the war. Oswego also has the Safe Haven Museum to commemorate the stories of the refugees. [Wikipedia]

Donated human stool safely and effectively treats C. difficile infections, study suggests
ScienceDaily (Oct. 19, 2012) ? A novel therapy that uses donated human stool to treat the deadly and contagious C.difficile infection is safe and highly effective, according to a Henry Ford Hospital study.
Researchers found that 43 of 49 patients recovered swiftly after treatment and had no adverse complications from C.diff three months later. Treatment is performed either through a nasogastric tube or colonscopy on an outpatient or inpatient basis.
Mayur Ramesh, M.D., a Henry Ford Infectious Diseases physician and senior author of the study, says the treatment, while appearing unconventional, has striking results.
"More than 90 percent of the patients in our study were cured of their C.diff infection," says Dr. Ramesh. "This treatment is a viable option for patients who are not responding to conventional treatment and who want to avoid surgery."
The study was presented October 19 at the annual Infectious Diseases Society of America meeting in San Diego.
In their study, researchers evaluated 49 patients who contracted Clostridium difficile, or C.diff, a germ that causes diarrhea and other intestinal problems and is linked to 14,000 deaths annually. Symptoms include water diarrhea, fever, loss of appetite, nausea and abdominal pain and tenderness. C.diff occurs in patients taking antibiotics, and can spread from person-to-person contact or from touching contaminated equipment and objects like door knobs.
Patients with a C.diff infection are typically treated with the antibiotics metronidazole or vancomycin. However, surgery could be required to remove the infected part of the intestines. In its study, Henry Ford treated patients between May 2010 and June 2012 with a therapy called intestinal microbiota transplantation (IMT), using donated stool from a healthy family member.
Dr. Ramesh says the healthy stool, when mixed with warm tap water and administered, helps to re-establish the normal intestinal flora in the patient's gastrointestinal tract. Intestinal flora is healthy bacteria that stimulates the immune system and aids the digestion and absorption of food.
"Patients who receive treatment through a nasogastric tube don't taste or smell the stool mixture as it's administered," Dr. Ramesh says. "Patients often resume their diet within a couple hours and are feeling better within 24 hours."
Of the 49 patients, 43 fully recovered, four died of causes unrelated to C.diff, one had intestinal surgery and one had no improvement.
The study was funded by Henry Ford Hospital.

Stevie: Turning Your Social Media Content Into A TV Show ...
Most of us spend more time on social networks than we ever did watching TV. But what if we wanted to combine both, mixing the laid-back?attitude?of watching a program with the content uploaded by by friends on social networks?
That?s the idea behind Stevie: A ?social TV? that creates shows based on the content on your social networks, with shows that have names like Music Non-Stop, The Comedy Strip,?and Celeb TV.

Stevie, an Israeli startup incorporated in October 2011 and hatched in the Microsoft Accelerator (startup incubator) in August, aggregates content like YouTube videos, photos, surveys, tweets and birthday announcements from content uploaded on social networks.
Algorithms, which the Stevie team calls the ?Stevie Factor,? determine what is ?interesting? content based on factors like friends, Twitter followers, country of residence, language, and interactions on these sites.
Founder and CEO Yael Givon believes that social media makes great television material. ?In today?s world, news and social media content mixes on all screens and platforms. We think that the transfer of social media on screens is the next blockbuster,? she tells NoCamels.
Matching and sorting content to your liking
To set up a personal Stevie channel, users log into Stevie.com with their Facebook accounts and can subsequently link their Twitter username. The Stevie algorithm sorts through this social media information and displays what it thinks you will enjoy most, on different channels. ?The Stevie channels are updated with new material every 60-90 seconds. Stevie also recently introduced a new channel, called ?US Election Channel,? to capture news and chatter surrounding the upcoming American presidential election.
Broadcasters today are moving towards allowing users to watch their content on other platforms than TV, such as on computers, smartphones and tablets. Similarly, Stevie users can watch the shows on multiple platforms. The system can be viewed passively on a computer monitor, by using a smartphone (android or iPhone) as a remote. Stevie also has a more interactive version, on the iPad, in which users can retweet, like, or share what appears on their Stevie stream.
?The content and usage scenario on each platform is influenced by the usage habits of that platform ? so Stevie on the web and iPad is more interactive, while on TV it is completely hands off, lean back,? says Givon. Stevie has also recently signed a development deal with Xbox, to bring the Stevie system to Microsoft?s popular gaming platform.
But are people really ready to lean back in front of their computers like a TV? ?We know that some of them [already] do,? says Givon.? ?like the people who put on YouTube playlists on their computer as a background, or people who have ?YouTube parties? with friends. These people will enjoy putting up Stevie because it?s more personal,? she explains.
?It is estimated that there are 10-20 million people that have their computer directly connected to their TV, and there are tens of millions of game consoles that are connected to TVs, that? a lot of potential viewers,? Givon reasons.
?Your TV should know you?
In the future, Givon and her team hope to take the Stevie system one step further. ?Right now, we can only aggregate [items] on your personal Facebook news feed, but in the future we want to bring in content that we know you like.?
?This would transform VOD (video on demand): what is the last thing you watched, what do you like based on your Facebook and social network life? It will bring your identity into TV programming.? As Givon puts it, the web knows your identity, so why shouldn?t your television?
Givon?s secret weapon, she says is husband and co-founder Gil Rimon. Rimon was tecnology editor for Israeli Newspaper Maariv and wrote a TV show called ?The Link? on Israel?s Science Channel.? He also co-founded and worked on several Israeli media startups. Yael Givon originally comes from a background in fine arts and was director of marketing for Israeli startup mirabilis? ICQ messenger, and was later VP of Products for Speedbit, a download manager website.
Stevie has so far raised $300,000 in angel funding from angel investors, including Jeff Pulver and Gigi Levy.

And the last two or three I haven't even thought about drinking. it's kind of messing with my head.. It seems deceptively easy at this point. If anything I feel liberated. Crazy these mental stages you go through when you stop... |

Now I go to meetings, for me it helps because if I get lonely the first place I go is the bar. So I'm just saying, for me, that is my safety net. Congratulations on 24 days! That's amazing!

I know that's b.s.. 24 days ago I was suicidal in the nut house and detoxing from a cocaine & jack Daniels binge.. And that doesn't happen to people who "aren't that bad". |

| Member ?Join Date: Mar 2012 Location: South East England Posts: 1,817 | I went 7 weeks at first and it was pretty straightforward compared to what I read from others posts. Then I had a bad day at work, and my brain seized. I had bought a bottle of vodka and drunk it before I'd even rationalised it in my brain. Scary. I am determined never to get complacent again. That urge to drink is patient but deadly. Stay away from unhelpful thoughts that whisper it will be ok to drink again. They lie..... Good luck on your journey x

| Member ?Join Date: Oct 2012 Location: Winston-Salem NC Posts: 2 | Every time I think its going easy, I start to figure I've got it licked. Or wasn't that bad to begin with. So I go out and remind myself how bad I really am. An oldtimer used to talk a lot about the pink cloud. It was his name for this time in early sobriety when life is getting better every day, you don't feel sick and you start having money in your wallet when you wake up and maybe even your loved ones don't hate you, because you're a lot better behaved. Compared to what we were enduring a few weeks prior, life seems easy. It ain't. Soon enough the stresses of 'sober' life will arrive. That's when we need the people and program that all too often we began neglecting when that first 30 day chip was too easy to get. |

| Member ?Join Date: Oct 2012 Location: Winston-Salem NC Posts: 2 | Thanks. I need to be here. I wonder how I've never found this place before. I've always needed a recovery space that was available when I got off work at 12:30 or 1am. When the bar is open (and I'm already there) but AA meetings are over. |

| Member ?Join Date: Oct 2011 Location: Vancouver BC Canada Posts: 253 | I agree convictedchef , the improvements and changes in the early weeks will hit a wall. I get them at 30-60-90 days and well haven't been past 90 days in a long time if ever. I have a crew of old timers in my life and they are the people I will go to when the novelty of sobriety wears off and I face the reality of living life on life's terms. I am on better footing but the journey has hardly begun. __________________----------------------------------------------------- The only tyrant I accept in this world is the still voice within There is more to life than increasing its speed Ghandi |

| Member ?Join Date: Mar 2012 Location: Southwest Ohio Posts: 61 | I know what you mean Islandboy, it does seem easy. My mom asked me today "is it really as easy as your making it out to be or are you pretending?" I think its just after all the abuse we have put ourselves through, the constant madness, a little bit of sanity feels really great and makes it easy, like convictedchef said. Still needs to be watched though. __________________Hope is what makes us strong. |

When I got out of the hospital I faced the most stressfull time of my life.. ALL I wanted to do was drink the stress away but I will powered through it. If I got through that with out drinking I can get through anything with out drinking. |

But like others have said it is not hard to go from a serene happy stage to the danger zone pretty quickly. It's just about not becoming complacent. As you move further along in your recovery your mind seems to balance out. Well at least mine has to some degree....lol

There will be those times, as you've been told, when the stresses of sober life will loom pretty large, but those stresses are easier to deal with when you are sober and can bring your full faculties to bear. You can get sober if you believe in yourself and have the confidence in yourself to do what you need to do for yourself. There are folks who do exactly this and you can be one of them.

Now I very seldom think about it and when I do it's just a fleeting thought with no cravings. I just got it in my head it's a non factor in my life. I can't tell you how much I wish I had done this years ago. How much more I could have done with my life. Now I look forward to doing the things I always wanted to do but was too lazy because of drinking all the time. Good riddance I say. |

I've had times when it's been easy, and times when it's been a lot less so. And it's not been all one way. Overall, it's got easier as time has gone on. But on a day to day basis... no, it hasn't. |

Honestly though, half my life I spent drinking and never once seriously tried to stop, and now that I've distanced my self from it this long I've got this "been there, done that" kind of feeling.. I'm just over it. All it did was drain me.. The party is over, time to grow up and get things done. |
