Every 90 minutes rob the bank

2006-01-07T00:56:00.001-08:00

In Europe they say bank is robbed every 90 minutes, and more and more aggressive tactics have been used, criminals take hostages, use bombs and all kind of weapons.
FBI says there will be more criminals in next years that coming, new countries has come to Europe but their security system is "wack", so its suprising that it aint even more bank robberies .

New Scientist Premium- Animals and their amazing superpowers - Features

2006-01-07T00:56:00.000-08:00

Animals and their amazing superpowers and weapons:

Regrow limbs, hold a breath for ages, use natural night vision, resist radiation, avoid sleep - if animals can do this all the time, then why can't we?

IMAGINE being able to tell whether a friend had passed by recently just by sniffing the ground. Dogs can do it, so why can't we? Admittedly, they have a bit of an advantage, as their noses contain between 20 and 40 times as many smell receptors. But could we go one better?

Debra Ann Fadool of Florida State University thinks so. She has discovered how humans might be made as sensitive to complex smells as dogs and wolves. Fadool has stumbled on a gene, called Kv1.3, which might just give us a way to do it. In mice, deleting it increases sensitivity to odours by a factor of between 1000 and 10,000. Blocking the gene also made these supersensitive mice better at discriminating between smells.

Don't let them fool you
Or even try to school you, Oh! No
We've got a mind of our own
So go to hell if what you're thinkin' isn't right
Love would never leave us alone
In the darkness there must come out to light

Could you be loved and be loved?
Could you be loved and be loved

4. Brain Activity, Drugs Could Affect Alzheimer's Progression
The activity of connections among brain cells significantly affects levels of the toxic protein beta-amyloid (A�) that is a major cause of Alzheimer's disease (AD), researchers have found. A� is produced by the cleavage of amyloid precursor protein (APP) within brain cells. Findings suggest that the kind of mental activity people practice or drugs they might take for depression or anxiety could affect their AD risk or the disease progression.

Will email spammers ever never stop

2005-12-25T02:28:00.000-08:00

Goddamn i got 5-6 email accounts and on every mail spam comes easily.
Emails like this bellow are so in common these days

*** If you wish to make around 5000$ in about 30 days, I ask you to read carefully following information ***

*** Change 5$ into 5000$ ***

be not tempted to add your address email to the position number 1 in order to earn money more quickly! That does not function like that! If you do that, you will reach ONLY only the people to whom you send the document directly and then your address will be immediately removed position number 1 and you will not reach the thousands of people! But, if you add your name to the position of number 5, there will be really hundreds of people who will receive your file.

What do you do after creating the multiple Academy Award winning "The Lord of the Rings," arguably the greatest film trilogy of all time? Well, if you're Peter Jackson you immediately jump behind the camera and direct "King Kong," a film that became a classic when it stunned audiences back in 1933.
GODZILLA is bigger, so in ten years we should expect Godzilla vs King Kong like year before for Jason Vs The Fredy.

Do Dogs Laugh, Maybe But Not Loudly

2005-12-12T02:49:00.000-08:00

Patricia Simonet, development and programme co-ordinator for Spokane County Regional Animal Protection Service, also found that the sound of dog laughter comforts other dogs. When she played a recording of "play panting" through the speaker system at a shelter in Spokane Valley, all the barking dogs quieted within a minute.
"I wanted to see if I could reduce (the dogs') stress by playing the sound in the shelter," Simonet said. "I was surprised when they were calm and quiet."
Simonet, who has a doctorate in animal behaviour, presented her study on reducing shelter dogs' stress at the International Conference on Environmental Enrichment last summer at Columbia University in New York.

What happens to abandoned babies?

2005-12-08T10:00:00.000-08:00

Just Like Animals BBC NEWS | Magazine | What happens to abandoned babies?
WHO, WHAT, WHY?
The Magazine answers...
Newborn twins have been left in a hospital car park in Birmingham and police hope their appeals to find the mother mean the family will be reunited. But what usually happens to abandoned babies?

They have been named Joseph and Holly by nurses at the hospital where the newborn twins were abandoned. The "adorable" brother and sister were left in a sleeping bag inside a supermarket box in the car park.

In 2004 a total of 49 babies were abandoned in the UK, according to the most recent Home Office statistics. This figure was down on 57 in the previous year. A lot of parents are never traced, leaving their offspring with no name and no knowledge of their family.

Slightly more baby boys are abandoned than girls, according to research by the Royal Free and University College Medical School in London. Infants are most likely to be left in the first few hours after birth and in places where they are likely to be found.

Sympathy

There are no national guidelines for dealing with such cases, but usually when a baby is abandoned police, health care professionals and social services get involved. Often the child is kept at the hospital for a few days and then given to foster carers. Eventually they will be put forward for adoption.

It is a criminal offence to abandon a child under the age of two, as is cruelty or neglect of a child. Many police forces now have officers specially trained to deal with such cases. Appeals to the parents are made as sensitively as possible, as they are often in a traumatised state and need help.

According to research, society judges people who have abandoned newborn babies in a much more sympathetic way than those who leave older children.
There are no firm conclusions as to why babies are abandoned. Some psychiatrists believe that mothers - especially young ones - can become overwhelmed by the presence of something that they denied for nine months. When the baby is born, the distressed mother can lose contact with reality for a brief period of time and may abandon her child.

Often the women can be suffering post-natal depression or feelings of inadequacy. In some cases, parents may see abandoning their child as an alternative to abortion or leave their baby believing the infant will have a chance of a better life. Economic, as well as emotional and social factors, can play a part.

Identity

When the babies grow into adulthood their mental health may be at risk because they were abandoned, say experts. They may require support and often this can vary depending on if they were abandoned to die or abandoned to be found.

"Often people abandoned as babies show great resilience but there is always another side to them," says Pam Hodgekins of Norcap, a charity that supports people who have been adopted.

"They have to cope with major issues, like not knowing their proper birthday or even having a name when they are left. It is often harder for them to move on than people put up for adoption. They may feel rejected but at least know their parents made a plan for them. People who have been abandoned don't even have that comfort." Information on the finder of the baby can be very limited and little thought is given to their welfare, even though they are often emotionally touched by their discovery and may recall the incident for the rest of their lives.

"I have spoken to a policeman who found a baby 12 years ago in Nottingham. On the anniversary each year he takes the day off and returns to the place. He finds it hard to cope with the fact that the baby's family were never traced," says Ms Hodgekins.

"Often these people feel a responsibility and connection towards the baby. They question whether finding the infant is some sort of sign that they are meant to look after it."

Health care staff and the authorities also play a vital part in an abandoned baby's identity as they often name the child.

Norcap is pushing for national guidelines on dealing with abandoned babies. It says issues such as media coverage need to be looked at. The charity thinks delaying appeals through newspapers and television for a few days might be a better approach.

"A mother is more likely to come forward if she doesn't know what has happened to her baby," says Ms Hodgekins. "The way things are currently handled she is able to see on the news the same day that her child is being cared for."

American Internet users believe they can wield influence in politics simply by going online

2005-12-08T04:54:00.000-08:00

They Say ----> Web gives power to the people, surfers say...
I say Power is already in our hands but we are stupid enough to never make something usefull..............
Nearly 40 percent of U.S. Web surfers polled by researchers at the Center for the Digital Future at the USC Annenberg School said they agreed or strongly agreed with the statement, "By using the Internet, people like you can have more political power." That tally is several points higher than last year, according to the report.

Political empowerment "means the ability to actually have an impact, and not just gain insight or knowledge," Jeffrey Cole, the project's director, said in a conference call with reporters.
The Digital Future Project, now in its fifth year, surveyed residents older than age 12 from 2,000 American households, which were intended to provide a representative sample of the nation. Responses came both from Internet users (defined as those who log on at least once per month) and from "nonusers" (the remainder).

The findings come as the prospect of campaign finance rules being extended to the Internet continues to draw outcry from politicians and bloggers. These groups have touted the grassroots, democratizing merits and low cost barriers of Net-based politicking. Despite this, a measure that would have exempted Net activity from campaign finance rules was shot down in the U.S. House of Representatives last month.

According to the University of Southern California study, more than 40 percent of surveyed Internet users went online to gather information2004 presidential campaign season. About three-quarters of them said they did so because they were undecided on those matters, and the vast majority said they were "satisfied" with the content that the Web supplied. Less than 5 percent of the Internet users relied on blogs for campaign information. "Traditional media" Web sites and official campaign sites received the vast majority of visitors, the survey said.

"There's no doubt that the Internet has become more than just another form of media," Cole said. "It's really changing the political process."

The research project also compiled answers to more than 100 questions spanning topics like e-commerce, social habits and general usage patterns. It was funded in part by such companies as America Online, Microsoft, Sony, SBC and Verizon.

Not surprisingly, the number of survey subjects who go online (78.6 percent), their time spent on the Web (an average of 13.3 hours per week), and their average monthly spending online ($113.34) have all climbed steadily over the last five years.

But Internet users' confidence in the information they find online has declined for three years in a row. The percentage of survey subjects who responded that they believe "most" of what they encounter is reliable and accurate dipped to 46.8 percent this year, from a peak level of 56.1 percent during the 2001 study.

U.S. Satellites Outnumber Rest of World

2005-12-07T23:32:00.000-08:00

BREITBART.COM - U.S. Satellites Outnumber Rest of World
WASHINGTON - The United States has 413 satellites in space snooping for the government, checking on the weather and relaying the latest pop music, a new database says. That's more than the 382 the rest of the world has spinning above the Earth. The inventory, developed by the Union of Concerned Scientists and released Wednesday, provides details on some of the Pentagon's most secret satellites, which may gather images in the dark or take high- resolution pictures from 12,000 miles away.

"Until now, the general public didn't have easy access to information about all active satellites," said Dr. Laura Grego, a Cambridge astrophysicist who was on a team that spent several years compiling information on the nearly 800 active satellites. "No one owns space, so everyone has a right to know what's up there."
The material was gleaned from corporations, academics, governments and satellite watchers who as a hobby spend their nights watching the skies for flickers of light.

The group's inventory lists 21 different details on satellites with missions ranging from weather forecasting to transmitting music and news for companies like Sirius Satellite Radio. Perhaps most controversially, the repository includes what's known about top-secret spy satellites run by the U.S. and other governments.

With 413, the United States far exceeds other nations in numbers of satellites, often used for communications. The Russians, who follow the U.S. in total number, have 87. The Chinese have 34. The numbers are approximations that may vary depending on how joint ventures are counted.

Facts and figures on unclassified satellites were publicly available from the U.S. government until recently. For national security reasons, individuals now must request an account from the Air Force to access the information, and may redistribute any of the information only with permission from the Defense Department.

The Union of Concerned Scientists opposes space-based weapons and destructive weapons that target satellites, even from the ground. It made the data public to start a dialogue about the best use of space.

The group is reasonably sure it knows about most _ if not all _ satellites because their launches are major events and must be registered with the United Nations. While it did not provide precise orbits that would enable someone to find a satellite at any moment, the union's database does give other closely held information.

For instance, the database lists 40 classified military and surveillance satellites with names such as Mercury, Trumpet and Orion run by the National Reconnaissance Office, which builds and manages U.S. spy satellites. The classified names are listed only when known; often aliases are found.

The agency's spokesman, Rick Oborn, said he had not seen the database yet. "From an intelligence standpoint, the less people know or think they know about what we have, that is certainly our preference," he said.

The inventory also provides details about a highly classified $1 billion satellite, known as Misty-2, including its expected life span of more than 5 years and May 22, 1999, launch date.

Grego said satellite watchers had spotted Misty-2 even though it was disguised as space debris. "These guys are in the backyards every night and know the sky like the back of their hand," she said.

According to the union, the high-resolution surveillance satellite can carry up to 7 metric tons of rocket fuel, used to help steer it into new orbits or correct its course.

The National Reconnaissance Office has asked the Justice Department to investigate the leak of other general information about the Misty program one year ago. Those details were published in news reports after three Democratic senators cryptically questioned the program's price and merits during a Senate debate.

Facts about the secretive Lacrosse satellites also are included in the database. Information about that program became public by accident in 2000 when the National Reconnaissance Office distributed patches to agency employees to celebrate the launch of the Titan IV.

The patches revealed the rocket's secret passenger: the Lacrosse-4, which uses radar to gather images in the dark.

Satellite watchers used clues on the patch, including the embroidered path of four satellites, to figure out where the new Lacrosse orbited.

"We own the night," the patch said.

Sky Harbor hostage crime possibly duplicated

2005-12-07T23:30:00.000-08:00

A man who took a hostage at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport on the day after Thanksgiving may have been commemorating the 20th anniversary of an identical crime.

Charles Richard Woolson was indicted Tuesday on charges of kidnapping, hoax and assault, according to the Maricopa County Attorney's Office.

According to police reports, Woolson, 49, jumped over an information counter at Terminal 4 during the evening of Nov. 25 and grabbed an airport employee by the neck. He shouted that he was a Sikh terrorist, that he had a bomb and a gun, and that he would kill everyone if he was not allowed to speak to the FBI. He also demanded that three terrorists be released from an Illinois prison.
Woolson surrendered to police when they drew their weapons on him.

He was held in lieu of $180,000 bond and will be arraigned in Maricopa County Superior Court Dec. 14.

On Nov. 29, 1985, also the day after Thanksgiving, a man named Charles R. Woolson, then 29, took an airline employee hostage in Terminal 3, according to media reports. Woolson, who was then on parole for a bank robbery conviction, called himself a revolutionary and threatened to set off a bomb if a cassette tape he had was not broadcast nationally. He was charged with kidnapping, though it is uncertain whether he was convicted.

Police and prosecutors did not connect the incidents and could not confirm that it was the same man. But the hostage taker in both incidents referred to himself as "The General," and online court records show that a Charles Richard Woolson with the same birth date as this year's assailant was arraigned in 1985.

IE flaw lets intruders into Google Desktop

2005-12-04T19:31:00.000-08:00

A security researcher in Israel has found a way to steal
information from unwitting users of Google's desktop search tool by
exploiting an unpatched flaw in Microsoft's ubiquitous Internet
Explorer.

There is a bug in the way the Web browser processes CSS rules, Matan
Gillon wrote in a description of his hack posted on Wednesday. CSS, or
Cascading Style Sheets, is a method for setting common styles across
multiple Web pages. The Web design technique is widely used on many
sites across the Internet.

The proof-of-concept
method is an example of how security flaws in software can offer all
kinds of access to programs on vulnerable PCs, including to Google Desktop.

"This design flaw in IE allows an attacker to retrieve private user
data or execute operations on the user's behalf on remote domains,"
Gillon wrote in his description
of the attack method. He crafted a Web page that--when viewed in IE on
a computer with Google Desktop installed--uses the search tool and
returns results for the query "password."

To exploit the flaw, an attacker has to lure a victim to a
malicious Web page. "Thousands of Web sites can be exploited, and there
isn't a simple solution against this attack, at least until IE is
fixed," Gillon wrote.

Microsoft is investigating the issue, which it described in
a statement as a problem affecting the cross-domain protections in
Internet Explorer. "This issue could potentially allow an attacker to
access content in a separate Web site, if that Web site is in a
specific configuration," Microsoft said in the statement.

Microsoft is not currently aware of malicious code that takes
advantage of the flaw, but is monitoring the situation, the company
said. A security update or an advisory on the problem may be coming, it
said.

Google is also investigating Gillon's findings. "We just
learned of this issue and are looking into it," Sonya Boralv, a
spokeswoman for the search giant, wrote in an e-mailed statement.

While Gillon in his example uses the IE flaw as a means to
get to Google Desktop, this flaw and other software bugs could be used
to covertly access virtually any application on a compromised computer.

"It is like any other flaw within IE, but he got creative and
used it to launch Google Desktop to retrieve data," security researcher
Tom Ferris said. "You can bet we will see this one being used to steal
users' Quicken data, database files, etc."

Perspective: Wikipedia and the nature of truth

Steve Manzuik, a security product manager at eEye Digital Security,
agreed. "This definitely looks like a flaw in IE and not a Google bug.
He is using Google Desktop as to retrieve data, but it is IE that makes
it possible," he said.

While IE is vulnerable, Gillon found that Firefox and Opera
are not. For protection, Internet users could use one of those browsers
or disable JavaScript in IE, Gillon suggested.

It has been a busy week on the Microsoft security front. Four examples of attack code were released for flaws in the Windows operating system, and a Trojan horse is finding its way onto PCs through another yet-unpatched flaw in IE

Mozilla Seeks Ad Videos From Firefox 1.5 Fans

2005-12-04T12:36:00.000-08:00

The Mozilla Corp. on Friday asked Firefox fans to submit video
testimonials about the open-source browser for possible inclusion in
the company's global marketing campaign.

Mozilla, the for-profit company developing and marketing Firefox, has set up a Web site
for fans to upload 30-second videos describing why they like the
browser. A second part of the ad contest, called Firefox Flicks, is set
to be unveiled in mid-December, and is aimed at creative professionals
and students.

"Our success has been driven by satisfied users letting other people
know they are having a better Web experience with Firefox," Christopher
Beard, vice president of products at Mozilla Corp., said in a
statement. "Firefox Flicks taps into the creative energy and enthusiasm
of our community to tell the world in their own words why they love
Firefox."

The contest is an expansion of a previous grassroots effort that led
to a community-sponsored two-page ad in The New York Times in November
2004. The ad was in support of Firefox 1.0.

Mozilla is waging an uphill battle for market share against the
dominant browser Microsoft Corp.'s Internet Explorer, which has 86.5
percent of the market, according to Web-monitoring firm
NetApplications. Firefox has an 8.6 percent share.

The latest marketing program is the first in a series of campaigns
that Mozilla plans to roll out in the coming months, company officials said.

How does the nozzle on the fuel pump know when to shut off to avoid overfilling the vehicle?

2005-11-24T08:38:00.000-08:00

Clayton
Kansas City, Kansas

Dear Clayton:

As How Things Work
from the University of Virginia explains, gasoline nozzles have a small
hole at the end that becomes blocked when gasoline rises to the top of
the tank. Once this happens, the pressure drops inside a valve system
built into the pump. This cuts off the gas flow.

If you want the nitty-gritty details, check out The Straight Dope.
And if you don't believe us, check the end of the gas pump the next
time you're at the station. You should be able to see the valve system
hole.

We also found a suggestion
from Dr. Ezra of Cornell University. He states the valve system is
sensitive
to air pressure within the tank, which increases as the tank fills with
gas. Dr. Ezra, we respect your diploma, but this is simply not true.
And as to the rumors that cell phones can start gas station fires, Engadget

tells us that it just ain't so. Sadly, this hasn't stopped a
Connecticut state senator from trying to introduce a bill requiring
drivers to hang up their cell phones before filling their tank.
Yeesh.

Bartender jailed for lethal tequila

2005-11-23T13:41:00.000-08:00

Cnn.com says...
According to a district court in the southwestern city of Hokksund the bartender, whose name was withheld, pleaded guilty to serving 34-year-old Leif Henning Nilsen 19 shots of the strong Mexican liquor in 90 minutes at the Spiseriet restaurant in May 2004.
Nilsen lost consciousness and died three days later.
The court said it could not hold the bartender accountable for the death itself, but sentenced him to prison for illegally serving alcohol to a clearly intoxicated person.
The ruling said the bartender intentionally contributed to the excess by drinking shots of water, tricking the victim into what he thought was a drinking contest.
"In the court's opinion, it is hard to imagine a more serious case of excessive alcohol serving," said the ruling, which also revoked the bartender's right to have any job that involves serving alcohol for five years.
The restaurant was in Vikersund, about 35 kilometers (20 miles) west of the capital, Oslo.

Man drinks on his ovn responsibility, so to drink 19 shots his head must been gone on vacation in that time.
its suicidal :)

Butterfly wings work like LEDs

2005-11-20T02:05:00.000-08:00

When scientists developed an efficient device for emitting light, they hadn't realised butterflies have been using the same method for 30 million years.
Fluorescent patches on the wings of African swallowtail butterflies work in a very similar way to high emission light emitting diodes (LEDs).
These high emission LEDs are an efficient variation on the diodes used in electronic equipment and displays.
The University of Exeter, UK, research appears in the journal Science.
In 2001, Alexei Erchak and colleagues at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) demonstrated a method for building a more efficient LED.
Most light emitted from standard LEDs cannot escape, resulting in what scientists call a low extraction efficiency of light.

Google shares top $400 threshold

2005-11-20T01:55:00.000-08:00

Shares in Google have risen above $400 each for the first time, capping a strong period of growth for the internet search firm.
The latest of these is Google Base - unveiled on Wednesday - which will enable people to search for different information collected from consumers and businesses.

Other recent initiatives include a plan to supply miniature satellite maps to mobile phones as well as a controversial online library service providing digital prints of books.

The market has also been encouraged by Google's financial performance.

The company reported a sharp rise in profits in the last quarter, as net income rose to $381.2m (£215m) from $52m in the same period last year.

Sales in the three months to the end of September totalled $1.57bn - 96% higher than the same period in 2004.

Most of the Google's revenue comes from advertising sales.

BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Legal fight hits 'music pirates'

The global recording industry has launched its largest wave of legal action against people suspected of sharing music files on the internet.
The latest move targeted 2,100 alleged uploaders using peer-to-peer (P2P) networks in 16 nations including the UK, France, Germany and Italy.
File-sharers in Switzerland, Sweden, Argentina, Singapore and Hong Kong are also facing cases for the first time.
Thousands of people have agreed to pay compensation since the campaign began.
The number of cases brought by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) outside the US since March 2004 now stands at more than 3,800.
In the US, civil lawsuits have been brought against more than 15,597 people since September 2003 and there have been 3,590 settlements.
'Significant escalation'
The IFPI said users of P2P networks including FastTrack, Gnutella, eDonkey, DirectConnect, BitTorrent, WinMx and SoulSeek were facing action.
"This is a significant escalation of our enforcement actions against people who are uploading and distributing copyrighted music on p2p networks," said IFPI chief John Kennedy.
"Thousands of people - mostly internet-savvy men in their 20s or 30s - have learnt to their cost the legal and financial risks involved in file-sharing copyrighted music in large quantities."
Court rulings
Individual cases are generally brought by the national associations representing the recording industry, and in some cases by the labels, as civil complaints.
In some nations, including Italy and Sweden, file-sharers are subject to criminal prosecutions.
The UK record industry has so far brought 97 cases, with a further 65 covered by the latest action.
More than £140,000 in compensation has been paid to the British Phonographic Industry by 71 individuals. Those who fail to resolve cases face civil court action.
The IFPI announcement comes after court rulings in the US, Australia and South Korea found P2P services can also be held liable for downloading by their users.
Earlier this month, US file-sharing group Grokster agreed to halt distributing its software to settle a long-running copyright case launched by the entertainment industry.

Mirrors Can Trick The Brain Into Recovering From Persistent Pain, Research Suggests

2005-11-09T12:58:00.000-08:00

Looking in a mirror at a reflection of their healthy hand could help people with persistent pain ease their symptoms and eventually overcome their problem, say scientists in the latest edition of the journal Clinical Medicine.
The treatment, being developed by researchers from the University of Bath and the Royal National Hospital for Rheumatic Diseases (RNHRD), is based on a new theory about how people experience pain even when doctors can find no direct cause.
This ‘cortical’ model of pain suggests that the brain’s image of the body can become faulty, resulting in a mismatch between the brain’s movement control systems and its sensory systems, causing a person to experience pain when they move a particular hand, foot or limb.
Researchers believe that this kind of problem could be behind a host of pain-related disorders, such as complex regional pain syndrome and repetitive strain injury.
In an investigation of whether this system can be corrected using mirrors to trick the brain, researchers asked a number of patients with complex regional pain syndrome (a chronic debilitating condition affecting 10,000 – 20,000 patients in the UK at any one time) to carry out routine exercises in front of a mirror.
More than half experienced pain relief during and after the exercise and further investigations showed that even greater improvements can be achieved if the tasks are practiced beforehand.
“By using a mirror reflection of a normal limb to convince the brain that everything is alright, we have found that we can correct this imbalance and help alleviate pain in complex regional pain syndrome,” said Dr Candy McCabe who works in the University of Bath’s School for Health and the RNHRD.
“We think it is the same system that is triggered when you are running down stairs, miss the last step and then feel a jolt of surprise.
“In missing that bottom step, you jar the prediction that your brain had made about what was going to happen, triggering an alert to the body that things are not as you expected, hence the feeling of surprise.
“This is because in most cases normal awareness and experience of our limbs is often based on the predicted state rather than the actual state.
“When the two do not match we think sensations are generated to alert the body that things are not as it thought – rather like an early warning mechanism.
“If the discrepancy is very large [like in the mirror experiment described below] then pain may be experienced, as pain is the body’s ultimate warning mechanism.
“We think that this system may be responsible for a range of disorders where patients feel pain for apparently no clinical reason.
“Somehow the brain’s image of the body differs from what it senses. When the patient moves their hand, foot or limb, they experience pain as a result.
“This could have important implications for the therapeutic management of people with chronic pain.”
In a separate study published in the journal Rheumatology earlier this year, researchers from Bath, Cardiff and Exeter showed that it is possible to create sensations and feelings in one limb by looking at a reflection of the other limb in a mirror.
They asked 41 healthy people to sit with a mirror at right angles in front of them so that they could only see one side of their body at a time.
The volunteers were then asked to move their limbs in the same direction at the same time, and then in opposite directions whilst viewing the mirror reflection of one hand.
Within 20 seconds of starting, more than two thirds of people involved in the trial reported some kind of sensation in their hidden limb when the movement they were seeing in the mirror was different to what they were feeling in the hidden hand, for example by moving their hands in different directions.
These sensations included numbness, pins and needles, a change in temperature and moderate aching, despite receiving no neural damage to that limb.
“Some people felt pain in their arm after as little as twenty seconds but not all of our volunteers experienced these disturbances,” said Dr McCabe.
“It would appear that innate susceptibility plays a part, with some individuals more vulnerable to, or simply better at detecting, these sensations.”
The research is funded by the Arthritis Research Campaign.

France In State of Emergency

2005-11-09T02:25:00.000-08:00

PARIS - The French capital and its suburbs, as well as more than 30 other cities, are covered by a new state-of-emergency decree that gives police sweeping powers to quell unrest, the government said Wednesday.The emergency decree empowers officials to put troublemakers under house arrest, ban or limit the movement of people and vehicles, confiscate weapons and close public spaces where gangs gather.

Towns included on the list stretched from Nice on the Mediterranean to Strasbourg on the German border to Le Havre on the English Channel, giving an indication of how widespread the unrest has become.

Other major cities included Marseille and Lyon.

Seven suburban regions of Paris were on the list, including the Seine-Saint-Denis area where the unrest broke out nearly two weeks ago in areas with large immigrant populations.

The Human Brain Seen as Master of Time

2005-11-01T00:57:00.000-08:00

Your brain is a time machine with three modes that control everything from instantaneous tasks like moving to maintaining long trains of thought and ultimately staying in synch with night and day.
That's what scientists say. But they have no clue how most of it works. Empathy allows us to feel the emotions of others, to identify and understand their feelings and motives and see things from their perspective. How we generate empathy remains a subject of intense debate in cognitive science.
Some scientists now believe they may have finally discovered its root. We're all essentially mind readers, they say.
Scientists Say Everyone Can Read Minds.
I think we are stupid if you look our big brains.
I say everyone haves dreams and they sure have something in common with reall life.
I think History haves all the answers.

Einstein Managed His Inbox Just Like You

2005-10-31T01:37:00.000-08:00

I admire thoose smart people, people who thinks for ewerything, who see oportuninty in ewery thing.
Aint much of them in this world.
f you're like Einstein, you respond to some emails immediately and let others wait. And, of course, some you never answer.

And every now and then, you find an old one in your inbox that you didn't even realize you had, and you reply.

A new study finds that the correspondence of Albert Einstein, as well as that of Charles Darwin, followed patterns similar to modern email communication.

Prolific writers

Einstein sent more than 14,500 letters. But he received more than 16,200, and responded to only a quarter of them. Darwin mailed more than 7,500 letters. He responded to 32 percent of the roughly 6,530 letters he received. [Chart]

Of course letter writing takes more time than email, but the mathematical relationship between quick replies and delayed responses was similar, explains João Gama Oliveira of the University of Aveiro in Portugal.

Of Einstein's responses, 53 percent were sent within 10 days. For Darwin, the figure was 63 percent. But now and then they replied months or years later. Einstein begins one reply by explaining that he's just discovered the senders letter of more than a year prior while sifting through "a mountain of correspondence."

"In both Darwin's and Einstein's correspondence and today's email we find that most responses take short time, but sometimes the responses take a very long time, Oliveira told LiveScience. "In other words, for both email and mail communication, the response times exist in a very broad range of values, and there is no typical response time for which we could say that all response times are around (and close to) that value."

Military: New Aluminum Windows Stop .50-Caliber Bullet

2005-10-24T00:14:00.000-07:00

A new type of transparent armor made of aluminum could one day replace glass in military vehicles.

The product is called aluminum oxynitride. It is being tested by the Army and the University of Dayton Research Institute in Ohio.

The material is a ceramic compound with a high compressive strength and durability, according to an Army statement issued this week. It performs better than the multilayered glass products currently in use, and its about half the weight. It is virtually scratch-resistant.

"The substance itself is light-years ahead of glass," said 1st Lt. Joseph La Monica, who heads the research.

Glass is still used in the new process, being sandwhiched between an outer layer of the polished aluminum oxynitride and a polymer backing.

THATS GREAT A NEW WEAPON THING, FINALY YEA ON WHO WE GONNA TEST IT .... IT DOESNT COST US MUCH THE OTHERS DO PAY, ITS AN ARMY THING FOR SECURITY SO BE SECURED.

Your Brain Remembers What You Forget

2005-10-23T23:58:00.000-07:00

Your Brain Remembers What You Forget
As you dash outdoors in the middle of winter, you might make it halfway down the block before realizing that your ears are freezing because you forgot your hat.

Now, scientists have shown that even though you've had an apparent memory lapse, your brain never forgot what you should have done.

Memory works mainly by association. For example, as you try to remember where you left your keys, you might recall you last had them in the living room, which reminds you that there was a commercial for soap on television, which reminds you that you need soap, and so on. And then, as you're heading out the door to buy soap, you remember that your keys are on the kitchen counter.

Your brain knew where the keys were all along, it just took a round-about way to get there.

Now, scientists at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies are studying associative memory in monkeys to figure out just how this complicated process works.
LEAVE THE MONKS ALONE TEST US WITH THAT, GIVE US LOT OF WEED, IF SMOKING WEED PEOPLE ALSO KNOW THEY HAVE WEED BUT DONT KNOW WHERE..... I GUESS BRAINS DO KNOW haha

Want to lose weight? Get a dog

2005-10-22T00:26:00.000-07:00

"We know that walking is good for people but we don't know how to get people to continue to do it. We wanted to see whether bonding with a dog might be a motivator to continue walking," said Johnson, who is an associate professor of nursing and director of the College of Veterinary Medicine's Research Center for Human-Animal Interaction at the University of Missouri-Columbia.
The dog-walkers in the study started by walking 10 minutes per day three times per week and eventually walked up to 20 minutes per day 5 days per week. One group walked for 50 weeks while another walked for only 26 weeks.
New York - Dogs may be more than man's best friend; they may also be a tool for losing weight, according to a new study that shows making a commitment to walk a dog - your own or someone else's - leads to increased exercise and weight loss.
I agree get a dog he can feel when you good or not, he is more than just a mans best firend..
Dog is loyal 2 the death not like womens and mans :)

HYDERABAD, India - Indian President A.P.J. Abdul Kalam expressed concern Saturday about a free mapping program from Google Inc., warning it could help terrorists by providing satellite photos of potential targets.

Google Earth, an Internet site launched in June this year, allows users to access overlapping satellite photos. Although not all areas are highly detailed, some images are very high resolution, and some show sensitive locations in various countries.
BLHA BLAH BLAH

When Drunk Driving Deterrence Becomes Neo-Prohibition

2005-10-09T00:05:00.000-07:00

This fall Mothers Against Drunk Driving marks its 25th anniversary. The organization certainly has much to celebrate: Deaths from drunk driving are down more than 35 percent since the early 1980s. We no longer chuckle at the bumbling drunk who can barely get his key into the ignition — we scorn him. Hopefully, we arrest him, too.
Thats good but people still do drunk and drive. that aint no solution to problems. For problems it must be more solutions.
Problems like alcohol could be made with reason, im thinking about it.

Rare White Giraffe Photographed

2005-10-03T04:02:00.000-07:00

A researcher in Africa has finally spotted the rare white giraffe that he's been seeking for twelve years, and he's got a photograph to prove it.

Charles Foley, a Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) researcher, first heard rumors of the white giraffe in 1993 when he was working in Tanzania's Tarangire National Park doing research on savanna elephants.

Intrigued, Foley set out to find the animal, but by the next year, the sightings had stopped coming in.

"I assumed it had died, either at the hand of man or best," he said. "I never stopped looking though."

Foley's persistence paid off this summer. While conducting a routine aerial survey of a group of the park's elephants, he spotted a white speck in the distance.

"I looked…blinked…looked again…and it was still there," Foley said.

Foley told his pilot to make another pass over the spot and managed to snap a photograph of the white giraffe just as they flew over the trees.

"The proof is there to see—a mostly white giraffe with small dark blotches on its body," Foley said. "Only the bottom half of its legs were the more traditional brown color."

Foley doubts the giraffe he photographed is the same giraffe sighted in 1993, and that it is probably not a pure albino animal. Albino animals lack the pigments that give their skin color. Rather, Foley thinks the giraffe was probably just lighter than normal.

Just wow
