AT&T-branded Nokia Ace possibly leaked in holiday card

Nokia Ace
The grain of salt we're taking this with is roughly boulder-sized but, we have an image of what may very well be the AT&T Nokia Ace -- the rumored LTE-sporting Windows Phone from the Finnish phone maker. It seems that someone sent out a holiday greeting featuring a phone that looks a heck of a lot like the Lumia 800, except it prominently features a Ma-Bell logo, a 4G icon and what appears to be a front facing camera. Of course, what has also been referred to as the Lumia 900 could just as easily be a chop job -- and not a particularly difficult one to pull off at that. Hit up the source link for a couple of more pics of what could be Nokia's first high-end Mango (or, perhaps Tango) offering here in the US.

Japan's new PM faces early trouble after minister gaffes

?VOL NO 146 REGD NO DA 1589 | Dhaka, Sunday September 11 2011


TOKYO , Sept 10 (Reuters): Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda's new government ran into trouble after just a week in office with calls for one of his ministers to quit over gaffes on the sensitive topic of radiation from the tsunami-hit Fukushima plant.

Trade Minister Yoshio Hachiro faced pressure to resign on Saturday after reports that he joked with a reporter about radiation from the tsunami-crippled Fukushima nuclear plant.

Hachiro was quoted in Japanese media as attempting to rub up against a reporter saying "I'll give you radiation" after visiting the Fukushima plant on Thursday.

Ruling Democratic Party policy chief Seiji Maehara said it is "very serious" if the report was true.

"It is important for him to explain clearly his true intentions by today," Maehara said.

Did Nokia's First US LTE Windows Phone Get Leaked in a Christmas Card? [Rumor]

Look like a standard greeting card? Sure. But take another look at that phone: it looks like a Lumia 800, but there's an AT&T logo. And a 4G indicator. And—wait a minute—there's a front-facing camera peeking out of the upper lefthand corner. More »

Women with celiac disease suffer from depression, disordered eating, study finds

ScienceDaily (Dec. 27, 2011) ? Women with celiac disease -- an autoimmune disorder associated with a negative reaction to eating gluten -- are more likely than the general population to report symptoms of depression and disordered eating, even when they adhere to a gluten-free diet, according to researchers at Penn State, Syracuse University and Drexel University.

People with celiac disease often suffer from abdominal pain, constipation, decreased appetite, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting in response to ingesting gluten. The disease affects somewhere between one in 105 to one in 1,750 people in the United States and is typically controlled by avoiding gluten-containing foods such as those made with wheat, barley and rye.

"It is easy to see how people who are not managing their disease well can frequently feel unwell and, therefore, be more stressed and have higher rates of depression," said Josh Smyth, professor of biobehavioral health and medicine, Penn State, "But researchers had not carefully looked at whether people who are effectively managing celiac disease exhibit a greater risk for such difficulties."

Smyth and his colleagues used a Web-mediated survey to assess a range of physical, behavioral and emotional experiences in 177 American women over the age of 18 who reported a physician-provided diagnosis of celiac disease. The survey questions explored respondents' levels of adherence to a gluten-free diet and assessed various symptoms of celiac disease, how physical symptoms interfere with functioning, the respondents' experience and management of stressful situations, symptoms of clinical depression, and frequency of negative thoughts and behaviors associated with eating and body image.

The results are posted online and will appear in a future issue of Chronic Illness.

"We found that most participants frequently adhered to a gluten-free diet, and this greater compliance with diet was related to increased vitality, lower stress, decreased depressive symptoms and greater overall emotional health," said Smyth. "However, even those people who were managing their illness very well reported higher rates of stress, depression and a range of issues clustered around body dissatisfaction, weight and shape when compared to the general population."

Smyth noted that he and his colleagues did not survey people without celiac disease; rather, they compared their results to those previously determined for the non-celiac population.

It is understandable to find that women with celiac disease tend to suffer from what is typically characterized as disordered eating, given that the focus of celiac-disease management is to pay careful attention to what and how one eats, said Smyth.

"What we don't know is what leads to what and under what circumstances," he said. "It's likely that the disease, stress, weight, shape and eating issues, and depression are interconnected. But we don't know if women with both higher stress and have celiac disease are more likely to develop symptoms of disordered eating and then become depressed, or if women with celiac disease are depressed and then become stressed, which leads to disordered eating. In the future, we plan to investigate the temporal sequence of these symptoms."

The team's results may have implications for people with food allergies, diabetes and Crohn's disease, a form of inflammatory bowel disease, as well as celiac disease, according to Smyth.

"Going out to eat with friends or to a holiday potluck is a much different experience for these people because they have to be vigilant and monitor their diets," he said. "They may feel that they are a burden on a host or hostess. In many cases the only treatment option they are given is to manage their diets. I think we need to educate patients at diagnosis or post-diagnosis about some of the other associated difficulties they might experience and provide strategies for how to better manage those things. I am a proponent of elaborating our treatment models to not just address diseases, but also to address the psychological, social and behavioral aspects of disease as well, as they can influence disease outcomes and the well being of patients."

Other researchers on this project include Danielle Arigo, graduate student, Syracuse University, and Alicia Anskis, graduate student, Drexel University.

European, US markets eke out gains but Italy lags (AP)

PARIS ? Buoyant U.S. consumer confidence figures helped stock markets in Europe and on Wall Street eke out modest gains Tuesday in very light holiday trading but Italian shares dipped as the country's key borrowing rate ratcheted up to worrisome levels.

In the run-up to Christmas, investors have been cheered by a slew of upbeat U.S. economic indicators, particularly related to the crucial shopping season.

That continued Tuesday with the closely-watched survey into U.S. consumer confidence from the New York-based Conference Board. Its main Consumer Confidence Index rose almost 10 points to 64.5 from a revised 55.2 in November. That was above market expectations for a more modest rise to 60.

Though below the 90 level that indicates an economy on solid footing, the survey provided further evidence that the U.S. economy enjoyed a decent holiday shopping season. Economists watch the confidence numbers closely because consumer spending accounts for about 70 percent of U.S. economic activity.

"The consumer is sitting pretty in winter wonderland according to the Conference Board," said Andrew Wilkinson, an analyst at Miller Tabak & Co.

The figures helped cement the advance in markets in Europe and the U.S. and pushed oil prices back above $100 a barrel amid hopes of rising demand in the U.S.

In Europe, France's CAC-40 closed around a point higher at 3,103.11 while Germany's DAX was up 0.3 percent at 5,889.76. The FTSE index of Britain's leading shares remained closed.

On Wall Street, the Dow Jones industrial average was up 0.1 percent at 12,303 while the broader S&P 500 index rose by an equivalent rate to 1,267.

One market bucking the trend was Italy's FTSE MIB, which traded 1 percent lower as the yield on the country's ten-year bonds hovered around the 7 percent once again ? a level that is considered unsustainable in the long run and eventually forced Greece, Ireland and Portugal to seek outside financial help.

Italy is the eurozone's third-largest economy and is considered to be too big to save under current bailout facilities. Mario Monti, the country's new premier got parliamentary approval last week for a big austerity package that is intended to save the country from financial disaster. Markets have grown increasingly fearful over the past few months that Italy will find it difficult to pay off its massive debts, which stand at around euro1.9 trillion ($2.5 trillion).

Despite ongoing worries over the spread of Europe's debt crisis to Italy, the euro was trading 0.1 percent higher too at $1.3064.

However, analysts said the euro could face some choppy waters over the coming couple of days as Italy prepares for a couple of bond auctions on Wednesday and Thursday.

"The euro is little changed as markets look ahead to Italian government debt auctions later this week, which are likely to set the tone for the single currency and the wider foreign exchange market," said Vassili Serebriakov, a currency strategist at Wells Fargo Bank.

Markets took little notice of figures from the European Central Bank showing that Europe's banks parked a record euro411.8 billion ($538.2 billion) overnight at the bank on Monday.

Heavy use of the ECB's deposit facility has been a sign of distrust in interbank lending markets, as banks remain wary of lending to each other and prefer to hold it at low interest rates at the ECB. However, it can also rise and fall for technical reasons as banks adjust their liquidity requirements, especially in the run-up to the year-end.

The narrow ranges across stock markets reflect light holiday trading conditions. Markets in Europe and the U.S. were closed Monday and trading is expected to be light most of this week though there could be some year-end movements, particularly on Friday as investors look to lock in any gains they may have made.

Earlier in the day, Asian shares fell after a disappointing profit performance by Chinese companies and a warning that Japan faces "significant downside risks" due to Europe's debt problems. That warning came from a Finance Ministry representative at a November Bank of Japan meeting, the bank said Tuesday.

Tokyo lost 0.5 percent to 8,440.56 while Seoul's Kospi shed 0.8 percent to 1,842.02. Taipei, Singapore and Jakarta also declined. Hong Kong and Sydney were closed.

China's benchmark Shanghai index dropped nearly 1.1 percent to 2,166.21 after the country's government reported that profit growth slowed at its major industrial companies. Total profit in the January-November period rose 24.4 percent over a year earlier, down 0.9 percent from the growth rate for the first 10 months of the year.

Oil prices got a boost after the consumer confidence figures and benchmark crude for February delivery was up $1.22 to $100.90 per barrel in late morning trade in New York.
