Weird and Extreme / Baby Shops Dad To Drug Cops
January 23, 2009, 02:48:23 AM

An 11-month-old baby has shopped his marijuana-growing dad to police by accidentally dialling 911.

Mounties in Canada have revealed how they took a 911 call but, on hearing no voice, traced the address and turned up to see if they could help.

When no one answered, they forced their way into the home in White Rock, British Columbia - and found a 500-plant marijuana growing operation.

The 29-year-old father was arrested and the child taken into care, though later restored to his mother.

White Rock police constable Janelle Canning said: "The gentleman was quite surprised."

When the father denied making the call, officers spotted the baby boy - phone in hand.

"We saw him playing with the cordless phone and just pressing all the buttons, so evidently he had called 911," Canning said.

Health and Food / The Sexy, Healthy Scent Of A Man
January 23, 2009, 02:44:24 AM

The scent of a man, at least among mice, can reveal the state of his health and determine whether a female gets pregnant, a new study shows.

The research suggests that other animals, perhaps even you, choose mates in part based on the strength of their immune systems.

Previous research had shown mice prefer to breed with mates whose immune-system genes -- which produce chemicals that help the body fight invading cells -- are different from their own. Such selective sex leads to healthier offspring.

The new study shows how the selection occurs.

Researchers at the University of Maryland examined molecules known as peptides that come from the immune system and end up in urine. Each mouse's disease-fighting peptides are unique, like fingerprints. A female records and remembers the scent of a mate's peptides using its vomeronasal organ, inside the nose.

"Exposure, during a critical period, to urine odor from another male, will prevent embryo implantation, leading to loss of pregnancy, while exposure to the familiar odor will not," said Frank Zufall of the university's School of Medicine.

Spiking the punch

"We can trick this odor memory and the outcome of the pregnancy-block test by adding peptides to urine," Zufall told LiveScience. "In other words, we can switch an unfamiliar urine odor to a familiar one (and vice versa) by spiking the urine with only a few peptides."

Other studies have shown that vomeronasal organs in many animals detect pheromones and other molecules that pack information on sexual and social status. Pheromones were first discovered in the 1950s to be sex attractants in insects.

"We believe that detection of [immune system] peptides via the nose may be of general significance for social behaviors in all vertebrates," Zufall said.

The study was led by Trese Leinders-Zufall and will be detailed in the Nov. 5 issue of the journal Science.

Picky, picky

Similar peptides exist in human immune systems. But our vomeronasal organ has apparently been rendered defunct by evolution, many scientists believe, though there's some uncertainty about this. In fact the question of how and whether scent affects a woman has been widely debated in recent years.

Since discovering powerful sex pheremones in silkworms decades ago, scientists have been hot to learn whether humans could be similarly stimulated. The investigation has proved frustrating.

"Compared to insects, whose behavior is stereotyped and highly predictable, mammals are independent, ornery, complex creatures," notes writer Maya Pines of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.

Like any animal, we humans are picky. And that provides a line of investigation.

Stinky T-shirts

In 1996, Claus Wedekind, a zoologist at Bern University in Switzerland, conducted what's become known as the stinky T-shirt study. Wedekind had 44 men each wear a t-shirt for two nights straight, then tested how women reacted to the smelly shirts.

Like mice, women preferred the scent of men whose immune systems were unlike their own. If a man's immune system was similar, a woman tended to describe his T-shirt as smelling like her father or brother.

Since then, companies have developed pheremone-based perfumes and cologns, with promises of increased sexual attraction. Researchers don't agree on their effectiveness.

More research is needed to figure out how and to what extent a woman's nose leads her to sex, and how adept she is at picking a healthy partner.

"We cannot rule out that other parts of the human nose are able to detect the peptides," Frank Zufall said. "We can now ask whether these peptides are present in human secretions such as sweat and saliva, whether they can be detected by the human nose, and if so, whether they have any influence on our own social behavior."

Health and Food / When A Woman Smells Best
January 22, 2009, 09:01:22 PM

The scent of a woman is more attractive at certain times of the month, suggests a new study that had men sniffing women's armpit odor.

"We were interested whether armpit odor changes across menstrual cycle," said study author Jan Havlieek of the Department of Anthropology at Charles University, Prague. "To test this, we asked a group of women to wear cotton pads in their armpits for 24 hours."

The women didn't wear perfumes, use deodorants, eat spicy or smelly foods, smoke, drink alcohol or use hormonal contraceptives such as the pill. Body odor was collected during three phases: menstrual (at the beginning); follicular (between the first day of menstruation and the onset of ovulation); and luteal (the fertile stage).

"The fresh pads were subsequently rated for their attractiveness and intensity by a group of 42 men," Havlieek told LiveScience.

The most attractive smells, men said, were from the time between the first day of menstruation and ovulation.

The cycle

The typically 28-day menstrual cycle involves the physiological changes that occur in a woman to prepare for a possibility of pregnancy. It is controlled by the reproductive hormone system.

A cycle is divided into four parts and starts on the first day of menstruation, which is the shedding of tissue and blood from the womb.  In the follicular phase, a dominant ovarian follicleâ€"which is a sack that contains the ova, or eggâ€"grows, becoming ready to ovulate. The mature egg is then released in the phase known as ovulation around day 12. The cycle ends with the fertile phase.

Although many men would tell you they're always in the mood, Havlieek and colleagues discovered that men find odors during the follicular phase the most attractive and least intense. On the other hand, the highest intensity smells, corresponding to the lowest attractiveness for men, were found during the time of menstrual bleeding.

"Traditionally it's believed that ovulation in human female is concealed and there are no changes in attractiveness across the cycle," Havlieek said.

The study is detailed in the January issue of the journal Ethology.

Further sniffing

Two other studies by different research teams came to similar conclusions. But those investigations used T-shirts for odor sampling, "making it difficult to pinpoint the source of the smell," said Havlieek, whose team restricted sampling to armpits only.

Finally, the attractiveness of women's faces also changes during the month.

Havlieek's team found that facial images of women in the follicular phaseâ€"when the dominant ovarian follicle is getting ready to ovulateâ€"are considered more attractive as compared to images taken in the luteal or fertile phase of the cycle.

The researchers hope to find out which chemical compounds are responsible for the odor changes across a woman's menstrual cycle.

"Let us be lovers we'll marry our fortunes together."
"I've got some real estate here in my bag."
So we bought a pack of cigarettes and Mrs. Wagner pies
And we walked off to look for America.
"Kathy," I said as we boarded a Greyhound in Pittsburgh
"Michigan seems like a dream to me now
It took me four days to hitchhike from Saginaw
I've come to look for America."

Laughing on the bus;
Playing games with the faces;
She said the man in the gabardine suit was a spy;
I said "Be careful his bowtie is really a camera."

"Toss me a cigarette, I think there's one in my raincoat."
"We smoked the last one an hour ago."
So I looked at the scenery, she read her magazine
And the moon rose over an open field.

"Kathy, I'm lost," I said, though I knew she was sleeping.
"I'm empty and aching and I don't know why."
Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike:
They've all come to look for America
All come to look for America
All come to look for America

Weird and Extreme / 35,000 Text Messages in a Month
January 15, 2009, 10:28:24 PM

CLERMONT, Fla. (AP)- A Clermont man is lucky Sprint offers an unlimited text messaging plan.

Brad Cox's 14-year-old daughter, Emilee, sent or received more than 35,000 messages a month twice in the past year. Cox called the Orlando Sentinel to report his daughter's excessive texting after reading an article on the Web about a California girl who topped 14,000 in a month.

Emilee's highest month was June, when she tallied 35,463 messages, or about 1,182 a day. She attributed the spike to constantly trading text messages with friends while she was at cheerleading camp.

A spokeswoman for Sprint confirmed the number of messages. Cox says as long as his daughter continues to get good grades, he doesn't have a problem with her texting.

Healthy habits are what makes our life as beautiful as it is, it has been claimed. Health experts and nutritionists, for instance, say that it’s the healthy eating habits that we have that make the restrictions we impose upon ourselves easier to bear. On this note, the morning cup of coffee many of us can’t get through the day without should not be eliminated â€" as long as we make sure it’s healthy and calorie-free.

Nutritionist Alexa Fishback, author of “The Daily Fix,” tells FitSugar that the morning coffee routine is to be encouraged, but only on the grounds that we pay close attention to what goes in it so as to not gain weight. For instance, if a sweet tooth is what would best describe us and there is absolutely no way we could have black coffee, then it’s best if we just add a teaspoon of plain sugar to it, Fishback tells us, as it has only 20 calories, which makes it considerably better than other artificial sweeteners on the market.

A general list of types of coffee that are both good for our health and kind on our silhouette would include regular or flavored brewed coffee (black), espresso, americano (espresso topped with hot water), misto or cafe au lait with skim or lowfat milk (half regular coffee, half steamed milk), as per the same nutrition expert.

However, if your favorite caffeinated drink is not on the list, that does not mean that all hope is lost. Fishback says that there are plenty other coffee-based drinks that we can have on a daily basis without having them show on our waist and thighs. For instance, latte with skim or lowfat milk (“a shot or two of espresso that has been poured into a cup filled with steamed milk and then topped off with foamed milk”), cappuccino with skim or lowfat milk (“one-third espresso, one-third steamed milk, and one-third foamed milk - more foam than a latte”) and macchiato with skim or lowfat milk (“an espresso with a small amount of milk on top”) are all allowed.

Also allowed as a daily drink is tea, be it hot or iced, plain, black, white, herbal or mixed. Again, the secret to not piling on the pounds because of this one habit is to not add sweeteners if possible. For more flavor and a boost of taste for our fave morning drink, Fishback recommends spices, the kind we also find at various coffee joints, such as cinnamon and nutmeg, which make a cup of coffee a truly wonderful experience without having to count the calories.

By Elena Gorgan

Although news of a “Karate Kid” remake was received with raised eyebrows when it was made official in November last year, it seems that Will Smith and his production company are busy at work to get things moving along. The Hollywood Insider reports, from very reliable sources, that Jackie Chan has already been contacted and agreed to take on Pat Morita’s Mr. Miyagi part in the upcoming production.

No confirmation of this has yet been made, but it was enough for word to get out on the Internet to bring fans of the cult classic into a frenzy. It’s not so much that Jackie Chan would not fill in the shoes of the mentor just fine that’s the problem, most fans seem to agree, but that they are really going to make a remake of what must be one of the most popular movies of its kind. Remakes, as it is known, often pale in comparison to the originals, and it’s precisely this that bothers fans.

If the rumors checks out, Chan will join Jaden Smith, son of reputed actor Will Smith, who has already made his debut on the silver screen opposite his father in “The Pursuit of Happyness.” He has also appeared in the alien flick “The Day the Earth Stood Still,” where his performance was, however, bitterly criticized by movie watchers worldwide. Therefore, he is not a stranger to acting, and would probably do just as well in “Karate Kid,” it is being said.

The same source also says that “Pink Panther 2” director Harold Zwart will be at the helm of the remake, with Will Smith’s production company, Overbrook, directly overseeing production. “China Film Corp. Group will coproduce the movie, which will shoot entirely in China.” the Insider also states, again citing the same well-placed insiders in the industry.

At the same time, proving that, indeed, “The Karate Kid” remake is to remain a family business, it is being said that Jada, Will’s wife, will also be actively involved in the film, by playing the part of Jaden’s mother.

New study shows women play on their attractiveness whenever opportunity arises

         

While the latest study made on the faithfulness of beautiful women as opposed to that of average looking ones is no groundbreaking discovery, it does help to finally settle the matter. Gorgeous women are not made to be loyal, and it’s not something that they can do to help it, as the research has showed.

It’s all in the hormones, scientists say, and not in the way a woman was raised or the values she upholds. More specifically, it’s in the level of oestrogen that a woman’s fidelity is to be found, as the study has showed that those with high levels of it are more likely to be unsatisfied with their current partner, therefore more prone to cheat on them when the opportunity arises. Coincidentally, these women are also very good looking, scientists pointed out.

Being beautiful means, in turn, more potential mates, which makes women “play on their desirability to snare the best mates,” say the researchers as quoted by the Daily Mail. Their standards for what they want from a partner are also highly influenced by them being good looking, which translates into not being able to come across a person to meet those standards, which makes them move from partner to partner.

“Physically attractive women may not only have more alternatives but also high standards that are difficult to satisfy. Accordingly, they have fewer reasons to be committed to any particular partner if higher quality potential mates are available.” Dr. Kristina Durante pointed out for the aforementioned publication. Their cheating is, thus, not reason for opprobrium for being a spur of the moment thing, but simply them acting as their very nature dictates.

The same study also revealed that, while attractive women are admittedly the “most unsatisfied with their lot,” they will also choose a long-term relationship instead of brief flings â€" still, nothing will stop them from moving on to another partner when something better comes up. “Without necessarily being consciously aware of their motives, highly attractive women are probably able to capitalize on their desirability and continually acquire valuable resources and a higher quality long-term mate by trading-up when the opportunity arises.” the researchers explained.

Technology / Man in £130K Internet Scam
January 15, 2009, 04:40:54 AM
A LONELY postal worker has landed himself in huge debt â€" after handing over £130,000 to a string of internet scammers.

Shane Symington started sending cash to the fraudsters in 2007 after he was contacted by a woman claiming she needed funds to help her sick mother.

The trusting postie agreed and started sending money from an inheritance he had received when an elderly relative passed away.

Fraud

He even stumped up the cash for a funeral when the woman said her mother had died.

He finally smelt a rat after the woman failed to reply to any of his emails.

Symington was then contacted by another 'victim' who told him the woman he had been in contact with was actually a Nigerian gang.

That email was quickly followed by one from men claiming to be the FBI who said they were investigating the fraud.

The men told Mr Symington they would take on his case if he sent money to fund their trip to Nigeria, including any costs they incurred during the trip.

Mr Symington agreed and, after taking out loans to raise the funds, he eventually sent money to three separate ’FBI’ agents.

This went on until December last year when Mr Symington realised he had been scammed again.

In total he forked out just over £130,000.

Now to rub salt into his wounds, police say he won’t be able to recover the money he sent because the Nigerian police are not willing to cooperate.

Detective Jon Knox said: “This is a very sad situation.

“This man has now parted with huge sums of money through his own good nature - by trying to help others and then by trying to recover some of what he had lost.

“We do not want anyone else to fall foul of this kind of shocking activity.

“I would warn anyone who is asked for money over the internet by people they do not know to refuse, and not put yourself at risk.”

Spiderman, I guess I already said my piece in your PM yesterday. I have enough of this. This thread has gone so far and way out of topic.

To the topic starter renegade: I am going to close this thread for the meantime so people can move on.
