Unlike humans, octopuses are not constantly aware of the location of their arms. So with eight limbs in motion, it's a wonder how their arms don't get tangled up together.
According to researcher Guy Levy at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, "We thought about it and we said, 'How is it possible that the arms don't grab each other?'"
Levy and his colleague Nir Nesher conducted a series of experiments with octopus arms. They observed that the suckers on the octopus arm would grab objects within its reach, but it would not grab anything with octopus skin. Their studies suggested that octopus skin has a repellent chemical. The sucker on an octopus arm can "taste" this repellent, so it does not grab on to it.
According to Roger Hanlon, of the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, "In fact, many of the sensory neurons known to occur in cephalopod suckers have unknown functions. The authors have widened our view of octopus sensory perception and provided some stimulating research questions to pursue."

Sometimes animals outsmart us. This year, we witnessed several bold and cunning escapes.
Otter Escapes from Kansas Zoo
Kyra, a resident of the Hutchinson Zoo in Kansas, escaped from her zoo habitat on Valentine's day and spent the week pond-hopping. Easily catching fish in other area ponds, she was unfazed by zookeeper attempts to lure her back with fish treats. But finally, she succumbed to the temptation of a hard-boiled egg.
Octopus Escapes New Zealand Aquarium
An octopus named Sid spent 5 days on the lam after escaping from his tank in a New Zealand aquarium. Sid managed to elude detection for those days by hiding in a drain that pumped fresh sea water into the aquarium. He was caught after being spotted making a dash for an open door.
Orangutan Plans Great Escape from Adelaide Zoo
Jamming a stick into the wires of the electric fence surrounding her, Karta, a 27-year old orangutan, short-circuited the system. She then piled up debris near the concrete and glass wall and climbed out. However, after literally sitting on the fence for half an hour, she decided to go back in the enclosure after all.
Wily Prairie Dogs Escape New Exhibit at Maryland Zoo
Ten minutes after the opening of a new $500,000 prairie dog exhibit, the clever rodents found multiple escape routes. Climbing and jumping over the walls, the prairie dogs had zoo workers in a frenzy chasing after them with nets.
Chimp Escape at the Chester Zoo
Thirty chimpanzees escaped from their enclosure at the Chester Zoo in England. They made their way into a food preparation area and had the feast of their lives.
Harbor Seal Makes Trek into a Cape Cod Hatchery
Although this is less of an escape and more of a break-in, we had to include it. A young harbor seal was discovered in a state fish hatchery in the town of Sandwich in Cape Cod, where she had her pick of delicious trout to eat. What makes the story so interesting is that the seal would have had to waddle on land for 2 miles, including stretches on the boardwalk and through a tunnel under a busy highway, to make it into the hatchery.
For the first time octopuses have been observed using tools. Researchers discovered that veined octopuses, found off the coast of Indonesia, use coconut shells to build armor for themselves. The octopuses where spotted collecting coconut shells and taking them when they moved to protect themselves from potential predators.
This marks the first time an invertebrate has been discovered to use tools.

Octopuses are very smart creatures. And it seems they're always in the news creating mischief. There was Otto the octopus in Germany who climbed to the rim of his aquarium and shot water at the overhead light shorting it out. And more recently, Sid the octopus in New Zealand escaped from his tank and hid in a drain for five days.
The latest octopus making headlines is Truman from the New England Aquarium who managed to squeeze his 7-foot body into a 14-inch square plastic box. Truman's caretakers had placed a few crabs inside a 6-inch box, latched it, and then placed the small box inside the 14-inch box and latched that. In this way, it would serve as an enrichment activity for Truman because he would have to figure out how to unlatch the first box and then the second box in order to eat the crabs. But instead, Truman decided to skip a step and just squeeze his head and legs through a 2-inch hole in the large box. Once inside, he got to work on unlatching the smaller box.

An octopus named Sid spent 5 days on the lam after escaping from his tank in a New Zealand aquarium. Sid managed to elude detection for those days by hiding in a drain that pumped fresh sea water into the aquarium. He was caught after being spotted making a dash for an open door. Though hungry, Sid was unhurt. The aquarium staff decided that it was best to release Sid, who is an older octopus, back into the wild.

Otto, an octopus living in Germany, has been wrecking havoc in his aquarium. His keepers believe his is bored while the aquarium is closed for the winter and causing trouble to amuse himself. Otto has figured out how to climb on the rim of his aquarium and shoot a jet of water into an overhead light shorting it out. He's also been observed juggling hermit craps and rearranging the tank to fit his needs, causing distress to his tank-mates.

Aloe Blacc - Good Things
Aloe Blacc - Good Things
Record Label: Stones Throw Records
Release Date: September 28, 2010
Egbert Dawkins, also known as Aloe Blacc, is an artist who never seems to stop evolving. Throughout the 90s he was the voice of indie hip-hop duo Emanon, showcasing his skills as an MC as well as his unique vocal stylings. His debut solo album Shine Through was an interesting mix of R&B and hip-hop influences, but felt a bit confused at times. It was never quite clear which direction was Blacc looking to take his music. His soulful crooning and thoughtful lyrics combined so perfectly that it was hard to pigeonhole him, and he seemed on the verge of nailing down a sound that few could replicate.
But of course, Blacc is never one to stay confined to one note for long. His latest offering Good Things is an experiment with the classic soul and funk sounds of the 70s, channeling the best of greats like Curtis Mayfield and Donny Hathaway into a modern album that deals with present day problems. Much of what those past artists fought against through their music remain issues we haven't fully taken care of after all these years. Much like John Legend and The Roots in their recent cover album Wake Up!, Blacc highlights these problems in a decidedly old-school way, albeit on a much smaller scale.
Good Things opens with the very first single, a piano and bass driven track titled I Need a Dollar. While the song sounds upbeat when taken at face value, serious and upsetting subject matter bubbles just below the surface. Blacc's voice remains strong throughout while still conveying a twinge of sadness, an important feat when dealing with the themes in the song. With a horn section that hides a bit behind his vocal talent before revealing themselves impressively during the last few choruses, this track is a great choice for an album opener as well as a single.
Blacc's knowledge of the genre is showcased admirably throughout the whole of Good Things. Hey Brother carries the unique guitar effects of the late funk movement while warning men about the trifling women in their lives. Life So Hard details the sometimes overwhelming amount of things that make life harder than it has to be and exhibit some of Blacc's best vocals on the album. Lastly, the title track Good Things is a subtle mixture of both old-school and modern genre standards. Blacc is easy to empathize with as he details being scorned by a lover, framed by keyboards and a chorus that gets the job done without overpowering Blacc's own vocals. Although production was handled by a number of other artists, it's evident that Blacc really did his homework when creating this album. His voice has the uncanny ability to amaze while at the same time making it look easy.
The highlight of Good Things comes in the form of two side-by-side tracks near the middle of the album. Femme Fatale tells the classic story of being seduced by a mysterious woman. Blacc's vocals are on point as always, and prove to be the best part of the repetitive track. While the production is nothing to write home about, the ever-present horns are a real treat. Although it is a cover of a song by The Velvet Underground, Blacc manages to take what made that song interesting and completely make it his own. The track segues immediately into Loving You is Killing Me, a track driven mostly by a simple drum beat, keyboard chords, and the combination of vocals from both Blacc and the backing chorus. While the chorus is kept rather unremarkable throughout the rest of the album, they are given a chance to shine in this track. It's upbeat and, although a bit light on social commentary, does a fantastic job of showcasing both Blacc's vocal talent and the album's overall production value in one song.
The album ends strong with Mama Hold My Hand and Politician (Reprise), two immensely different tracks. The former is very stripped down, featuring mainly hymn-inspired piano melodies and Blacc's vocals. As evidenced by the title, it's a story about Blacc's mother, most notably his attitude towards her during both his childhood and adult years. Oddly enough, this is the one track where his signature emotion doesn't always shine through to match the lyrical content. The latter is an upbeat instrumental held together by a blaring horns section and guitar solo. It feels entirely out of place when compared to the rest of the album, but acts as a sort of dessert after the main course the album provided. Short and sweet.
Good Things feels like the album Blacc was always destined to create, containing his voice in a very appropriate sonic vessel without restricting it. It flows beautifully from one track to the next, infusing old-school funk and soul with a modern essence that makes it incredibly unique. Blacc's vocals are, for the most part, on point. They transition from unwavering to emotional, and are always the main focus in every track. The production from song to song remains strong, but many of the tracks tend to blur together on repeated listens. Good Things, unfortunately, happens to be weighed down at times by love song after love song, but at its core is a strong representation of what makes this style of music so endearing after all these years.
Official Website | "I Need a Dollar" Official Video
I absolutely love this album, and 'Femme Fatale' is one of my favorite tracks of the year.
Love this album
So glad Ian is staff now.
Glad to see this reviewed on here. Definitely one of my favorite albums from this year.
me and all my roommates are a big fan of this. "I need a dollar" is fire.
I Need a Dollar is my ringtone. Heard it as the theme song for How to Make It In America and loved it.
"Oddly enough, this is the one track where his signature emotion doesn't always shine through to match the lyrical content."
about "mama hold my hand" ?!!?!?!?
i had to choke back tears the first time i heard the song, and i am an emotionless robot. other than that, solid review. i'd personally rate it in the high 80s though!
What do members know?
Totally agree with the reviewer rating. Love this album. Straight quality. You should check out his cover of Michael Jackson' "Billie Jean."

Game Description: Glide along the nighttime highways in your sleek street machine, flash your headlights to challenge the opposition, and the high-speed race is underway in Tokyo Xtreme Racer. Go head-to-head against your Dreamcast or take on a friend in heated contests of fuel-burning bravado. Keep a close watch on the racing meter, because if it runs out the contest is over. You can earn tons of cash and upgrade your car as you take on faster and meaner racing gangs in Tokyo Xtreme Racer.
During my college years, I use to have a part-time gig busing tables over weekends. It was an extremely short stint since I hated the job with a vengeance, but there was one interesting thing to note about it. During my late night drives home after closing time, I would come across an incredible empty stretch of freeway just before reaching my apartment. While driving through that last stretch of freeway, I always put the pedal to the metal to see how quickly I could speed home. I don't know what compelled me to drive with such reckless abandon, but I bet I'm not the only one. I'm sure many of you have also acted on similar impulses that lead to either impromptu drag races between friends or a date with a police officer and a radar gun followed by a speeding ticket. How can I explain this subconscious need for speed we all seem to possess? Perhaps it comes from the promise of all the multiple cylinders and hundreds of horsepower that car ads claim which beacons us to test its authenticity. Or perhaps it's the allure of an open road and the rush that begs us to race through it. Whatever those reason are, Tokyo Xtreme Racer is a driving game that draws on those very impulses.
Tokyo Xtreme Racer is all about modern day drag racing through what appears to be a realistic 3D recreation of Tokyo's highway. Players start the game off by purchasing a car and then freely cruising about the highway. It isn't until challenges are issued (by cleverly flashing the high-beamers) to or by other drivers (also casually perusing the highway) that races officially take place. The funny thing is that once races are officially underway, victory is not determined by reaching a certain destination or completing numerous laps first. Instead, victory is uniquely decided by Speed Point or SP Battle System. How this system works is that each driver is given a full SP gauge (similar to life-bars found in two-player fighting games), and this gauge is repeatedly drained if an opponent is in the lead. In other words, in order to achieve victory you need to stay in front of the opponent's car until the opposing drivers SP gauge is drained to zero; effectively beating him or her. The goal of Tokyo Xtreme Racer is to defeat every racer (literally hundreds, each with funny car nicknames like Midnight Cinderella) from the various teams (which the instructional manual kindly refers to them as, even though they readily appear more like street gangs) and eventually race against the four major bosses that only appear once you've been deemed worthy of a challenge. Final victory is accomplished by beating those four bosses.
It's safe to say that Tokyo Xtreme Racer is filled with new and fresh ideas when it comes to its approach to racing games. And I'm happy to report, for the most part, this new interpretation is rather engaging and successful. I rather liked the idea of being able to freely roam the highways—looking for an opponent and issuing on-the-spot challenges. It's a nice touch that made me feel like I was a part of this seedy underground racing league. I was really impressed by the SP Battle System as well. It really added more excitement in the races for me because there's this relentless need to stay ahead of an opponent. Any split-second delay or missed turn on my part would let my opponent fly ahead of me—causing me to frantically scramble back in the lead to survive.
Presentation-wise, Tokyo Xtreme Racer is a winner as well. Sound and music are comprised of mechanical automotive noise effects, and the J-pop tunes (some vocal) are a little more than convincing. The 3D highways (despite the Japanese Kanji characters painted on the pavement) look and feel like actual ones complete with signage, bypasses, overpasses, exit ramps and of course, plenty of remote traffic. Though not officially licensed, the developers also did a fantastic job on the frighteningly realistic looking (especially on replays) car modeling. A healthy amount of reflections, environment mapping and dynamic lighting come across car surfaces and add up to an almost surreal effect. As a result, Tokyo Xtreme Racer has the benefit of being one of the earliest racing games in the 128-bit system age to show us a glimpse into what future generations of racers have in store for us visually.
So conceptually on paper and a large part of its final execution, Tokyo Xtreme Racer has what it takes to be a really good racing game. What keep it from being truly one of the greats are some pretty significant flaws. First, is the physics model governing the feel of the cars and the road. While not terrible, its not exactly what you'd call phenomenal either. Head-on collisions and crashes into walls and other cars seem too simplistic and overly forgiving considering how realistic the cars look. Cars strangely cant go in reverse, and once a driver is facing the wrong direction, the computer will automatically take over and steer a driver back on course. There's also quite of bit of weirdness when it comes to purchasing new cars or upgrading to existing ones. It's a costly procedure that requires the earning of extreme amounts of credit from races with fairly unremarkable results. Even after dozens of upgrades and purchases, the cars handle largely the same with the exception of higher top speeds (which only serve as another deterrent because navigating with efficiency at the fastest speeds is nearly impossible given course layout).
Lastly, keeping with its modern day drag racing theme can be a double-edged sword. While Tokyo Xtreme Racer does a fine job of conveying that experience in a tight and focused manner, after prolonged play you start to realize that Tokyo Xtreme Racer doesn't really offer much else. There's an obligatory two-player, split-screen competitive mode, but that does little to distract the fact that all races are confined to only one highway (though it is a fairly large course and can be raced in reverse) and only one time of day—late night. So for the experience that Tokyo Xtreme Racer tries to convey to its players, it does well. But without more diversity, continually playing it eventually grows monotonous and leaves you wanting a more diverse racing experience. Still, there are some very noteworthy positives in Tokyo Xtreme Racer that shouldnt be discounted.
For the most part, Chi nailed the same points I wanted to focus on. However, we differed on a few aspects of what makes Tokyo Xtreme Racer good or bad. We certainly agreed on how good a job Genki did modeling the cars in the game. Right from the start, the detail and graphical effects used really caught our eye and indeed are a sign of what awaits users down the road (no pun intended). We also agreed about one of the game's negatives like the lack of an ability to reverse. With so many crashes and the potential for going the wrong way so prevalent in a game like this, the lack of such an option makes it exorbitantly difficult to keep up with opponents, especially during the more difficult races. I also agreed with Chi regarding the cars' loss of control with an increase in overall speed. If this was a game with a track consisting of long straight-aways and gradual turns, I wouldn't complain, but with so many twists and turns, a car that can't handle well is rendered useless.
It's after those points that Chi and I begin to disagree. To start with, I can't believe that there was only one track to race on the entire time I was playing. In its defense, there are two tracks, but the second one is just a mirror track so you get the same scenery as the first track, only in a different order. One of the major draws of a racing game is being able to race along multiple and unique tracks in whatever car you are given. Any omission of such a feature would bring a game's rating down, and Tokyo Xtreme Racer suffers this fate. Chi wasn't fond of the upgrading feature, and while I can agree that upgrading gets to be rather unimportant after the car is close to maxed out, it was still pretty cool up until then. I for one was able to notice improvements in my car's performance in almost every upgrade. It was a little thrilling to see how even a little tweaking of the braking "springiness" meant victory against a driver that was giving me problems. What I will concede though, is that the upgrade process is made difficult by an uninformative instruction manual. I would have appreciated a more detailed explanation of why something would work and why it wouldn't instead of the sparse tip balloons available in the menu. As is, I was left to just guess and use trial and error to judge whatever changes were made, if any.
My biggest gripe with this game however, is the racing model itself. I got really tired of racing around a track trying to find drivers to race against. Sometimes I had wiped a track clean of the competition with the exception of one or two drivers who happened to be on the opposite side of the track. That always left me with two options that were anything but appealing. I could either drop out of the game and then reenter the track, hoping to be placed closer to them; I could sit and wait for them to catch up to me or I could simply try to catch them myself and then challenge them to a race. Either way, it was a huge waste of time and it grew annoying really quick. All in all, I thought that Tokyo Xtreme Racer was a very good game that needed some more polish to really shine. But given the subject matter and availability of cars, this game is unique enough to offer a lot to racing fans that are now tiring of Sega Rally 2 and Hardcore Heat.
Parents, other then the subjectively seedy and unsavory feel the night-time races take place between what seem like gang members, there aren't any real issues of violence or profanity in Tokyo Xtreme Racer. Though I still wouldn't describe Tokyo Xtreme Racer anywhere near wholesome.
Dreamcast owners who always wanted to feel what it would be like to rip through a highway at the highest top speeds will like Tokyo Xtreme Racer. But don't expect much else out of the game because it is severely lacking in features and options. More hardcore racing fans who like their cars to behave more realistically will be turned-off by Tokyo Xtreme Racer's light physics and lack of real diversity in the unlicensed vehicle selection and handling.
More casual racing fans on the other hand, who like games like Ridge Racer and Need For Speed, are bound to be more impressed with Tokyo Xtreme Racer.

Big Mista's Barbecue Group
The idea to compete came from the great guys Neil met on the BBQ Brethren Forum. After posting, reading and finding community on the site, he decided he wanted a BBQ smoker. At the time, they lived in a two-bedroom apartment. As competitions produced awards, so came more requests for Neil's signature barbecue.
After a brief period of unemployment, Phyllis decided it was time to dedicate her time into expanding their talents into a business.
They started vending at the Watts Certified Farmers' Market (CFM) on Saturdays in November 2008. With plans to grow slowly, they hit the road crawling. It never occurred to either of them that folks were getting ready for Thanksgiving and other holiday parties (who wants barbecue during the holiday season?). Sales were truly pitiful.
By February 2009, Phyllis had registered them into six farmers' markets that Neil couldn't do because he was still with Wells Fargo. She explained to him that it didn't make sense for them to pay people to do what Neil wanted to do. He tried to talk his boss into letting him work part-time (afraid to take the leap). He came home disappointed that his boss said no. He was soon all smiles when Phyllis told him to go ahead and quit. It scared both of them, but they were stepping out on faith and good food.
Ever since then, Neil and Phyllis have put all their time and efforts into making their business grow successfully. The Kiva loan will allow them to open a full-service restaurant that would help to increase activity in all service areas of the business. It would also allow the company to increase its capacity to increase farmers' market presence.
Additional Information
More information about this loan
This loan is part of the Kiva City Los Angeles initiative in partnership with the Los Angeles Mayor's Office of Small Business and VEDC (Valley Economic Development Center). Kiva City Los Angeles is a subset of Kiva City, a program that allows Kiva lenders to make microloans to small businesses in the United States with the help of community organizations and U.S. Field Partners.
Important InformationValley Economic Development Center (VEDC) is a non-profit community development financial institution and the largest provider of loans for small businesses and micro-entrepreneurs in the Greater Los Angeles area. In addition to loans, it offers extensive training opportunities, workshops, consulting and small business support services.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee.

You never have enough storage, that's one of the unwritten laws of technology. That's why manufacturers have been defying physical limits to cram as much bytes as possible in as small a volume as possible.
The first 8TB hard disk drives have surfaced at an affordable price but still no trace of a 10TB hard disk drive. I covered as much ground as possible but if you find anything major missing out, would like to report a price mistake or broken link, please flag it up in the comments.

This debate was upsetting for the most part. Especially when Ron Paul referenced the Golden Rule and got boo'd. I mean, REALLY?! People want war that badly?
Ron Paul finished the night getting positive points and stayed above the line on Twitter. No surprise there. He's still a strong 2nd in SC and I hope this debate sends Romney crashing.

I dont buy into the Bin Laden raid, and think something else problably happened to him in the past, but I highly doubt the majority of voters in SC have gone out to look this stuff up. Just look at the audience reaction when Paul spoke about Bin Laden. Alot of the audience believes the Bin Laden raid.edit on 16-1-2012 by buni11687 because: (no reason given)
The Audience in this Debate was a Joke . Those People DO NOT REPRESENT the MAJORITY of the American People At All .........
The Debate was TELEVISED , How Many People in T.V. Land do you Think Booed Ron Paul ? My Guess , NONE .

Managing Active Directory at the command line
Professionally manage Active Directory users, groups, and other AD objects with Windows PowerShell Version 2.0.
The introduction of PowerShell sees Microsoft finally implement long overdue changes to Windows scripting. Unfortunately, PowerShell Version 1 was no big help for Active Directory (AD) administrators, but then Microsoft added PowerShell support to its "Common Engineering Criteria" (CEC), making it mandatory for all Redmond products to support it. This means Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7 now have PowerShell Version 2 hard-wired.

1996 Subaru Impreza Brighton 2dr Coupe AWD
My little Brighton just turned over 270,000 miles. I purchased this car a few years back with 180,000 miles; thought it would make a great car for my kid. When she left for college, I kept driving it. Great commuter car.
Goes through snow like a sled dog on steroids. Excellent build quality. Extreme reliability.
None. For the money (4,000 when I bought it) I can't imagine getting a better buy.
I can�t say enough about this hog.
She�s never let me down once. I�ve
owned the car now for two years and
have had absolutely no problems,
nothing. I�m an avid snowboarder and
I feel completely comfortable under
any weather conditions with the AWD.
The car is tractor in the snow and I�m
happy to say it�s managed to plow
through some serious predicaments. It
handles beautifully however could use
a little more horsepower. Besides the
lack of power, which can be
frustrating, the car is infallible.
Almost everything
There are a few things, however the
car has been so great to me I would do
the car a great injustice by

I am working on a form with the possiblity for the user to use illegal/special characters in the string that is to be submitted to the database. I want to escape/negate these characters in the string and have been using htmlspecialchars(). However, is there is a better/faster method?
In PHP when submitting strings to the database should I take care of illegal characters using htmlspecialchars() or use a regular expression?
If you submit this data to the database, please take a look at the escape functions for your database.
That is, for MySQL there is mysql_real_escape_string.
These escape functions take care of any characters that might be malicious, and you will still get your data in the same way you put it in there.
You can also use prepared statements to take care of the data:
Or a little more self explaining:
In case you want to save different types of data, use
There are no "illegal" characters for the database. Database that cannot store some characters is a nonsense. There are some service characters, like quotes, used to delimit strings. These characters should be just escaped, not eliminated.
To send a query to the database, you have 2 options:
Everything said above covers only data part of the query.
or dynamic search:
In this example we're adding to the query only data entered by user, not field names, which are all hardcoded in the script. For the binding the algorithm would be very similar.
And so on.
First of all, you should sanitize things when displaying, not before inserting into the database. SQL injections are another story, but probably off-topic.
Second, if you don't need your users to be able to post HTML at all,
Users can go a lot beyond than that actually.
Use HTML Purifier:
This is not a problem you want to tackle on your own. There are libraries out there to do this for you, such as the HTML Purifier.
You haven't stated what these illegal characters may be but you should definitely be using the database API's supplied mechanism to escape data. For instance, if you're using MySQL, use PDO parameterized SQL statements.

Buyer, Beware of Over-the-Counter Thyroid Supplements: Study
Latest Thyroid News
FRIDAY, Nov. 4 (HealthDay News) -- Over-the-counter "thyroid support" supplements commonly used for weight loss and to fight fatigue are mostly ineffective and may pose a health threat, a new study warns.
The supplements contain widely varying amounts of two kinds of thyroid hormones -- triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) -- apparently derived largely from chopped up animal thyroid glands, according to senior investigator Dr. Victor Bernet, an endocrinologist at the Mayo Clinic in Florida.
These two hormones are regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and intended for use only in prescription drugs because they can cause serious health problems, including increased heart rate, heart irregularities and palpitations, nervousness and diarrhea, he explained.
The researchers analyzed 10 commercially available OTC thyroid supplements and found that nine contained T3 and five of them would deliver 50% or more of the total amount of T3 produced by the body daily.
Four of the supplements contained T4, and some contained a dose of T4 that could be double an adult's daily requirement.
Only one supplement had no T3 or T4.
Bernet said that the supplements are ineffective for most people.
'"The amount of thyroid hormone a normal person would have to take to lose weight would be dangerously high and there is no evidence that use of thyroid hormone effectively treats fatigue when used in people without actual hypothyroidism," he said in a Mayo news release.
The study was slated for presentation at the recent annual meeting of the American Thyroid Association in Indian Wells, Calif.
The findings show the need for better monitoring of the ingredients in OTC thyroid support products and more patient education about these products' potential health risks, Bernet said.
Because this study was presented at a medical meeting, the data and conclusions should be viewed as preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal.

What do Adults Need to Learn?
Everyone talks about how to protect children online. But few address the risks adults face online and using digital technologies and devices. Yet, we bank and spend money online, book travel and make reservations. We invest, communicate with our healthcare providers and insurance companies. We have one Facebook page, but share it with our bosses and employees, neighbors, our kids and our parents, distance family members and community organizations. We share our political affiliations, complaints and vocal opinions, and advocate for causes. Our childhood friends share our childhood secrets and when we go through a divorce, our dirty laundry gets posted online. We turn to cyberdating sites and networks to find love and plan our weddings and anniversaries online. We romance each other with intimate pictures and hot webcam sessions when we are apart, and text each other when close enough to touch. Here we provide training in online issues specifically geared towards adults and their needs.
We at WiredSafety believe that adults need to learn in a way that suits them at a time that suits them. So we've greated a mixture of stand alone learning units on key areas as well as multimedia presentations you can listen to and live events to choose from. Choose the format that best suits you.
E-Learning Units
These short self-paced e-learning units give you the information and help you need for issues you face today:
- Cyberdating
- Cyberbullying
- ID Theft
These multimedia tutorials introduce complex issues in a simple way for adults to understand. We also have PDF options in some cases, to allow you to printout the tutorial and take it with you.
Got a Minute for Parry?
In a countdown to one minute, Parry Aftab delivers a skill or pointer for adults on how they can use digital technologies in safer and more effective ways. As she always points out, "We adults need to stick together. It's the only way we can figure this out as well as an 8-year-old does." All joking aside, Parry takes complicated issues and makes them look easy.
How Do We Teach Our Kids and Tweens?
You have probably heard about our Teenangels or seen them in action. Tweenangels are their younger counterparts. Tweenangels has been formed for those between seven and twelve years of age. Most chapters are formed in schools as part of the curriculum. Others are after school activities or clubs, but there are also chapters formed by community groups, parents, and home schoolers.
Once personally trained by Parry Aftab, the training has now moved online. Parry delivers her message through video and multimedia presentations. Flash animation, forums, and interactivity provide the resources that are used by adult mentors to guide the teens through their training. You can find out more about them and how you can get a chapter started in your area, by visiting Tweenangels.org.
Even Teens Have Things to Learn!
Teenangels are a group of thirteen to eighteen year old volunteers that have been specially trained in all aspects of online safety, privacy and security. After completion of the required training, the Teenangels run unique programs in schools to spread the word about responsible and safe surfing to other teens and younger kids, parents, and teachers. They have four roles: as ambassadors for WiredSafety to the media and the public; presenting the youth perspective to industry leaders; to conduct research to spot trends and influences faced by young people; and as peer-advisors to other young people in hosting events, doing workshops and presentations and running summits.
They help span the generation gap through their activities and presentations to youth and adult groups, in schools and around the community. They write columns for Web sites and become expert public speakers and researchers. They work with companies like Disney, Microsoft, MTV, Facebook and AOL and are trained by law enforcement agencies and leading experts. They have testified in front of Congress and appeared on TV and the media numerous times and briefed the UK Parliament. Teenangels is especially relevant since the two biggest influences in a teen's life are parents and peers. In the formative years, parents are the center of their learning, the further they travel from the cradle, the greater the influence of their peers. Anyone who has a teenager will tell you about the battle between parental and peer influence. (And all we have to do is remember back to when we were teens to know who wins!)
With the advent of the Internet, a generation of digital natives was born. Raised with the technology, they quickly left their parents behind in a cloud of cyberdust. Teens suddenly found themselves in an online world devoid of adult guidance. They were able to play, work, and socialize. They were also able to do anything that popped into their teen brains and get in trouble in a world apart from parents. Parents couldn't even warn them of risks. Parents had no idea how things worked well enough to understand or spot the real risks. That's where Teenangels come in. Before Teenangels, their only role models were their peers, and that model wasn't always pretty. With little adult guidance and the perceived anonymity of the Internet, online problems soon resulted. Teens acted out and were vulnerable to the predators, scammers and other unscrupulous adults. And it all made the headlines, worldwide. In the mid to late 90's, the papers were plastered with stories about pornography online, after that predators moved to the media forefront, and today it is cyberbullying and sexting that dominates the media landscape. Fear guided parents as they understood what would happen when millions of unsupervised teens could communicate and create from devices they carried in their backpacks, pockets and purses. As usual, teens believed that those fears were overblown and parents were over-reacting. Both were right.
Getting parents and educators up to speed with online life was important, but difficult. Just as critical was providing good role models for teens to follow in their online live. So in 1999, Parry Aftab established the first chapter of the Teenangels. Each year, they put on the WiredKids Summit , on Capitol Hill in Washington D.C. There they present research that they do as part of their training. The teens are on stage and the audience is a powerful and influential group of policy makers, industry leaders, media, educators, and parents. Recognizing that the teens are the experts in their own right, the Teenangels are equal partners with other volunteers in WiredSafety. They work hand in h and to help protect others online and have been instrumental in the evolution of the organization.
Once personally trained by Parry Aftab, the training has now moved online. Parry delivers her message through video and multimedia presentations. Flash animation, forums, and interactivity provide the resources that are used by adult mentors to guide the teens through their training. You can find out more about them, or to book them for your event and how you can get a chapter started in your area, by visiting Teenangels.org
Train-the-Trainers - for WiredSafety Volunteers
People from all over the world of all ages come to us with a wide range of problems and challenges they face online. Luckily, our volunteers come to us from all over the world too, just to help others. But who trains the trainers? Who helps the helpers? WiredSafety does! We value our volunteers and spend a great deal of time on their training and education. Here you will find details of a number of the training programmes we offer. Our training is based on blended learning, a mixture of online classes delivered through a learning management system called Moodle, live classes using Adobe Presenter and where appropriate, one-to-one coaching for the more specialized teams.
Although we are all volunteers many of us in WiredCampus are learning professionals dedicated to giving you the best learning experience we can. All training takes place initially within our learning management system found at http://wiredsafetylearning.org/moodle/ . You then progress to our large online community of volunteers where you can learn with each other, from each other and for each other. Below are some of the learning programmes we deliver.
WiredBuddies - initial training
This is where it all starts. As a new volunteer you will be taken on a journey through WiredSafety so you can get to know the organization and the people in it. Usually this will be as part of a cohort group and you will be assigned a WiredBuddy who will take you through this initial training which takes 6 weeks. our expectation is that you will dedicate 2 hours per week to this training which we hope you will find both informative and fun.
Shortly after being sent your initial welcome letter, all volunteers in training are contacted by a WiredBuddies Division Director by email. We welcome you to the Wiredbuddies program, and then assign you a Wiredbuddy. Wiredbuddies work with new volunteers, on a one-on-one bases. Wired buddies are that friendly smiling personality ready to help and assist our newest volunteers guiding each volunteer through the 6 week ( average length) Wiredsafety Orientation, that will prepare you to understand the basics of online safety, what WiredSafety is about, and familiarize you with the different opportunities to serve in WiredSafety.
Basic Volunteer Classes
Once you have passed your basic training you will be able to take a range of online classes in basic safety. You are encouraged to attend as many of these as you can so you can be up-to-date and ready to help people no matter what division you eventually work in.
These basic classes include:
Anatomy of a predator, Computer Viruses and Myths, Ergonomics, Technology, Identify Theft, Internet Scams and Hoaxes, Intro to Cyberstalking, Profile of a victim, The Internet a window and door, The person on the other side, Privacy and Privacy, Cyberbullying and Harassment etc.
Moderator Classes
Our moderators are the best on the web. This training is a mixture of theory and practice taking you from the consideration of areas such as dealing with people, emotional well being, child sexual predators, cyberstalking and other areas to one to one coaching from an experienced moderator in live situations.
WiredCampus Online Education Staff
For those who want to join our education team we introduce you to the latest techniques in writing for and delivering online education whether live, through learning management systems or using e-learning units. We also cover facilitation and moderation of online communities looking at the best from theory and practice.
Internet Response Team
Cyberbullying, harassment, stalking, viruses, Trojans, identity theft, scams and spam are the domain of WiredSafety's Internet Response Team (IRT). IRT's focus is to provide one-to-one help for individuals of all ages who are having problems with sexual exploitation, cyberbullying, stalking, harassment, identity theft, computer breaches, and related issues. IRT members are some of our most highly trained volunteer. They must progress through a series of online training courses and one-to-one mentoring that equip them with a skill set necessary to accomplish their mission.
The sensitive nature of their work and the pressures involved in helping people with serious online issues, require significant training and a personality that can handle stress, while providing the support and assistance needed to help the victims of online crime or abuse. The sensitive nature of their work and the pressures involved in helping people with serious online issues, require significant training and a personality that can handle stress, while providing the support and assistance needed to help the victims of online crime or abuse. Because of the importance and sensitivity of their role, each trainee is assigned an online mentor who will stay with them through all three phases.
In the first phase, the trainee is introduced to the IRT its objectives, code of ethics, policies, and procedures. They are made aware of the unique nature and sensitive information they well be processing and taught how to deal with these stresses and maintain a healthy mental attitude. By the end of this phase, the trainee has an understanding of the importance of their role and the dedication, and mental attitude that are required to perform it. If they elect to continue the training, their mentor will guide them and evaluate their progress through the next two stages that involve intensive reviews of past cases and simulations that put them through the experience of helping people one-to-one online .
If they complete their training successfully, they are accepted as members of the IRT and begin working with victims under the watchful eye of their mentor and other experienced team members. If you are interested in becoming a part of the IRT or any other WiredSafety division, you can sign up to become a volunteer and begin your training today.

Not a bad saw for the money
I bought this saw to tile my bathroom. I debated on renting or buying. I decided to try the Ridgid. It has a great capacity. I was able to cut my 18" tiles with ease. The blade is easy enough to change. I didn't get any chipping with the stock blade unless I tried to go really fast at the end of the cut. I remained dry during the whole process. The saw is light and compact enough to store till another job comes up. My only complaint is the table. It has plastic wheels that ride on alunimun rails. They are adjustable for slack but I had a hard time finding a happy medium between too tight and too loose. A linear bearing would have been better but you usually only find them on the more expensive models. All in all I am happy with it for the price.

Film Description
Jayne Parker discovered film as a medium when she was a sculpture student at Canterbury College of Art (1977-80). Objects, performance and gesture were combined by the camera to explore space, duration and the physical body. Soon the films became independent works. Free Show (1979) is 'a film in three acts' in which domestic events have overtones of threat as well as the circus (cutting liver, ironing a fly, plucking eyebrows). In RX Recipe (1980), a large eel in a bath is stuffed with vegetables and bandaged by a woman who then similarly binds her own leg, to whispered instructions on the soundtrack. I Cat (1980) was the first of a series of roughcast but sharply drawn animations featuring a woman, a cat and a fish.
Jayne Parker's films, videos, photographs and installations reveal a central core of concerns that are explored in many ways. Her hallmark is the focussed gaze of the camera on the body and its actions, combined with editing that draws out inner rhythms from the shot to mould an unfamiliar sense of time. A running theme is the making of art and the production of selfhood, mirrored in the performance itself and in the formal shape of the film. By embracing such nonverbal arts as music and dance, meaning in the films is produced - and questioned - by the clash or fusion of images seen from changing viewpoints and angles. - A.L.Rees, January 2005

I couldn't think of anything to write about today and over the weekend I was buzzed watching the more mature sections on youtube instead of my normal visits to pornhub and I stumbled across some videos of girls sucking on various foods. It was strangely arousing in a humorous way so we're gonna run with it today. Here are some videos of ladies suck on various foods. They probably are not safe for work but what is safe for work on this site really?
God Bless America
Lucky banana.
Asian Girl and a banana
The music on this one is really weird.

I've just had to do a complete system recovery, (back to factory settings) on my computer using the recovery discs that I made when I first bought it. All went fine until the end when it said to restart the computer. I restarted and a message appeared saying that 'Windows could not complete the installation. To install Windows on this computer, restart the installation.' What does this mean? I thought that the re-installation of Windows would be on the recovery disc. I have tried starting the whole thing over again but the end result was the same, Windows wouldn't re-install. Has anyone any suggestions? I'd be very grateful.
Did you replace the hard drive?

One of the hottest shows wherever it's staged, Chicago tells the story of Roxie Hart, a nightclub singer who dreams of headlining in Vaudeville, but only achieves celebrity status when she murders her lover and enlists the help of Chicago's shrewdest lawyer to whip up the publicity surrounding the case and ensure her acquittal.
Slick, sexy and sassy, Chicago is a must-see musical, with choreography in the style of the legendary Bob Fosse and a fantastic jazz score.

I'm looking for a 20 page guide that explains why it's better to invest in a private company rather than a publicly traded company. I'm going to be raising money and I wanted to have a booklet to provide my investors, as a selling feature.
The idea here is to provide the investors information that will make them understand the risks, rewards and the benefits of private equity investing vs. public equity.
This should provide convincing evidence for them to consider our private investment. (of course the report needs to be generic so we can use it in different situations)
The guide should have, but not limited to:
1. Forward
2. Explain What a Private Company is;
3. What is the difference between a private a public company;
4. Who is usually able to invest in a public company and why?
(talk about the securities exemptions, family, friends and business associates)
5. The benefits of investing in reputable offshore companies rather then onshore.
6. how to tell a good private...
