Eating More Fruits And Vegetables for Reduce Breast Cancer Recurrence

The researchers from the University of California pointed out that Eat more vegetables, fruits and fiber foods to reduce fat intake, particularly the phenomenon can help reduce hot flashes in patients help to reduce breast cancer recurrence the after long-term research relationship between breast cancer and diet.
The women who in early breast cancer and have the phenomenon of hot flushes probability of survival is higher than the patients without it. if patients with higher levels of estrogen in the blood, Women with low likelihood of hot flashes. Levels of estrogen decline will appear the phenomenon of hot flashes, Especially in postmenopausal women.
3,000 breast cancer patients was divided into two groups, A group of patients to eat 10 fruits and vegetables, eat more fiber and less fat every day. Another group of patients to eat five portions of fruit and vegetables every day. The results showed only 16% of the first group of patients had recurrent symptoms, The second group is 23%.After eating a lot of fruits and vegetables, can reduce the risk of recurrence of 31%. Menopausal women is 43%.
eat more vitamin supplement vitamin fresh fruits, vegetables, and so on to Reduce breast cancer recurrence. Eating fruit and vegetables does people good because such food is rich in vitamin C. One of the main reasons fruit and vegetables are so health-boosting is that they’re packed with antioxidants. the other reason is that Fruits and vegetables are the best sources of fiber because they contain both soluble and insoluble fiber. so that eating more fruits and vegetables can reduce breast cancer recurrence. A large study of 500, 000 American retirees has found that one extra serving of fruit or vegetables a day may reduce the risk of developing headneck cancer. Even those who eat virtually no fruit and vegetables, the paper suggests, are only 9% more likely to develop cancer than those who stick to the WHO recommendations. The study found eating six servings of fruit and vegetables per day per 1, 000 calories cut the risk of head and neck cancer by 29 percent compared to eating one and a half servings.

Hyundai and Kia Enter Hybrid Cars

In 2011, Hyundai tried its hand at hybrid one-upmanship, beginning with the Sonata Hybrid.

The Hyundai Sonata Hybrid is the South Korean company’s first hybrid in the US market. Apparently, Hyundai took its time, scrutinized the hybrid competition, and attempted to outdo it in every respect. Coming in at $25,000, about four-grand less than the award-winning Ford Fusion Hybrid, the Sonata Hybrid has the Fusion beat in every category.
We prefer the Sonata’s aesthetics, but the hard numbers are unequivocal. The Sonata Hybrid offers 206 net horsepower compared to the Fusion’s 191 hp. The Sonata Hybrid’s aerodynamics, rated at a very slippery 0.25 drag of coefficient, is superior to the Fusion’s 0.33 Cd. The use of lithium batteries, rather than the Fusion’s nickel metal hydride, provides just as much power, but allows the Sonata to weigh 263 pounds less. Fuel economy for the Sonata and Fusion Hybrids are nearly identical, but with highway and city numbers swapped. The Sonata Hybrid offers 36 in the city and 40 on the highway, while the Fusion Hybrid is rated at 41/36.
And watch out for the Kia Optima Hybrid, the gas-electric Sonata’s cousin. The Optima Hybrid should carry an even smaller sticker price, and many reviewers are favoring its styling over the already attractive Sonata version.

Every Hyundai to be ested in UK

All new generation Hyundai models sold in the UK will be given a specific chassis set-up after testing on local roads, managing director Tony Whitehorn has confirmed.
The Hyundai ix20, launched late last year, was the first Hyundai to have its chassis retuned for the UK market ahead of going on sale after development work on UK roads – something that has been repeated for the upcoming i40 and Veloster models.
“It’s clear that the roads in the UK are unique and require specific technical changes,” said Whitehorn. “Every new car we bring in will have a UK specific set-up.”
The UK is Hyundai’s second largest European market, with projected sales of 65,000 cars this year, up from 28,000 in 2008.
“Scrappage put us on the radar, and there’s no doubt our best advert has been having all those cars on the road, but now we are selling on the quality, refinement, value and emotional appeal of our products, not just because they are cheap,” said Whitehorn.

Scotch Whisky Protected in Turkey

Scotch whisky has become the first foreign product to be registered and protected as a geographical indication of origin (GI) in Turkey.

This means consumers in Turkey will now receive better protection from fake "Scotch Whisky" as a result of the decision by authorities formally to recognise Scotch as a product that can only be made in Scotland.
GI registration supports the integrity of Scotch whisky as a product made in Scotland, according to the Scotch Whisky Regulations 2009. Registration will make protection of Scotch whisky through the courts considerably easier.
The problem of the availability of fake alcohol in Turkey was highlighted in June when Russian tourists in the Turkish Aegean resort of Bodrum were poisoned, resulting in some fatalities, after consuming illicitly-produced alcohol.
Alan Park, legal adviser at the Scotch Whisky Association, said: "It’s a breakthrough for the industry that Scotch whisky has become the first foreign product GI to be registered in Turkey where there are around 150 domestic GIs.
"There is a huge demand for Scotch whisky from discerning Turkish consumers and from tourists visiting the country. It is important that they have confidence in the quality and integrityof what they are buying."
Last year, the value of the Turkish market for Scotch whisky was £21.6 million.
Geographical indications identify goods which have a given quality, reputation or other characteristic which is attributable to its geographical origin.
Scotch Whisky has received GI registration in India, Panama, China, Vietnam, Malaysia and Thailand as well as Turkey. It also has protection in Europe through the European Union and in other parts of the world through various EU third country bi-lateral agreements.

It is undeniable that in this digital age, where Handphone (mobile phones or mobile phones) have become a way of life, even in Indonesia.Regardless of the lower classes and the rich, Handphone has become a necessary element in any time. Handphone is also very useful especially in terms of communication.

Maybe we found that radiation from the signal generated by Handphone could cause cancer or other diseases. A Swedish study found that Handphone can increase the risk of cancer 400% of its users.
International EMF (electromagnetic fields) collaboration report the results of research conducted in 13 Western European countries that the radiation affecting the impact of Handphone on health, especially the health of children. Collaboration EMF researcher Lloyd Morgan says:

A number of countries are willing to block the use of Handphone for children, even France has been instructed to use Handphone for children is only used to send messages only.

Morgan also revealed that the conversation with Handphone in the long run increases the risk of a child or adolescent suffering from brain cancer. In addition to bagging a Handphone pocket or sleep membiatkan children near an active Handphone can also interfere with health.
In fact, the use of Handphone is very useful for human life, live now, how to regulate their use, do not overdo it, which if done to excess will result in a commodity.

The Philippines government warned using geckos to treat AIDS

Filipinos are avid Gecko was considered a versatile alternative medicine. With manjurnya, many believe Gecko was able to treat AIDS and weak orgasm.

The Philippines government warned on Friday that using geckos to treat AIDS and impotence could put patients at risk.
Environmental officials expressed alarm about the growing trade in the wall-climbing lizards in the Philippines. An 11-ounce gecko reportedly sells for at least $1,160.
Prices skyrocketed in the central Philippines Gecko due to the many who want to buy it as a remedy to cure various diseases. A Gecko’s tail measuring 300 grams for example, the price could reach 50,000 pesos or approximately USD $ 9.9 million.
Hunter Gecko emerging as surprise besides sold domestically, Gecko Philippines also exported to China, Malaysia and South Korea. Citizens in these countries believe Gecko as a panacea for Acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) and impotence.

“Gecko can worsen the overall health and get them (the patients) are in high risk,” wrote the Department of health Philippines as quoted from the Philipine Star, Friday (15/7/2011).
Not described in more detail the risk of what is meant, but obviously it’s been a lot of other drug available that is more secure to overcome impotence. While it doesn’t yet exist for AIDS drugs to cure it, but it can be controlled so as not to cause death.
In addition to endangering the patient, the consumption of Gecko en masse can also harm the environment. One of the officials of the environment in the Philippines, Mundita Lim said the declining population of Gecko can cause an imbalance of the ecosystem.

Kim Kardashian Diagnosed With Psoriasis

Kim Kardashian took a break from photo shoots and celebrity engagements to visit her dermatologist on Sunday night's episode of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians." After finding red, flaky patches of skin on her legs, Dr. Harold Lancer diagnosed the reality star with psoriasis, an autoimmune disorder that causes rapid skin cell growth that can manifest itself as thick silvery scales and itchy dry red patches on the skin.
"People don't understand the pressure on me to look perfect," Karashian said on the show. "When I gain a pound, it's in the headlines. Imagine what the tabloids would do to me if they saw all these spots?"
Lancer suggested that she "lead an easier, slower paced life."
"That's just not possible," she replied.
Catie Coman, director of communications for the National Psoriasis Foundation, empathized with the reality star.
"The population can often be very cruel because they think the disease is contagious or has to do with being dirty," said Coman, who noted that LeAnn Rimes also battled the condition. "Celebrities with psoriasis are under intense pressure, and stress is a trigger for psoriasis."
Most types of psoriasis go through cycles in which the condition flares up for a few weeks or months, then subsides for a period of time.

"Once you're diagnosed with it, you don't know how often or severe you're going to get it," said Dr. Lawrence Green, a Washington, D.C., dermatologist and member of the board of trustees at the National Psoriasis Foundation. "She can try different treatments and see how they keep the rash at bay. You just have to wait and see."
Kardashian is one of 7.5 million Americans who have the disorder, which can range from a mild skin rash to a debilitating condition. Experts say smoking, alcohol and high stress levels can contribute to outbreaks. Obesity, stress, viral and bacterial infections such as HIV and, most significantly, a family history, put a person at an increased risk of psoriasis. About 30 percent of psoriasis patients will be diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis, a chronic condition that causes pain and stiffness in the joints.
Kardashian's mother was diagnosed with psoriasis at the age of 30.
"I'd heard of it before because my mom has always had it, but she didn't have red flaky dots all over her," Kardashian told Life and Style Weekly.
Kardashian's publicist did not return requests for comment, but from watching the short clip of Kardashian at the doctor's, Green said her psoriasis patches could probably be treated with an ointment or excimer laser, a type of ultraviolet light that slows skin cell growth.
"Psoriasis comes in three different levels of severity, and it depends on the level of severity that dictates treatment," said Coman.
Creams and ointments can successfully treat mild to moderate psoriasis outbreaks, while injections, ultraviolet light lasers and oral medications are available for more serious outbreaks.
"People with psoriasis should know that they don't have to live with it," said Green. "It can be very well treated. They just have to take those first steps and go see a dermatologist."

Free Therapy for Lindsay Lohan!

Lindasy Lohan may be done serving her house arrest, but she’s not getting off that easy! Lilo was ordered to seek counseling by Judge Stephanie Sautner, and has exactly 20 days to do so. The only problem is she says she doesn’t have the money to pay for it.

Well, look no further Lindsay! Call for therapy is here to help. They are offering 24/7 counseling service over the phone and have people standing by who are willing to make sure she fulfills her probation requirements for free.
But does Lindsay actually get free therapy?

“She can definitely afford Call for Therapy,” says company President David Gonen, M.D. “People usually pay $40 or less per half hour for our phone therapy sessions, which is pocket change compared to your average psychologist’s office.”
Call for Therapy is determined to make an exception for Lindsay. “Our therapists will give her all the help she needs at no cost for the duration of her probation,” Dr. Gonen says.
Lilo gets the chance to speak with a counselor at the comfort of her own home. “”Free unlimited therapy, from any location of her choice, at any time of her choice,” says Dr. Gonen. “She should take us up on our deal.”

Forlan and Suarez leads Uruguay to record 15th Copa America

Uruguay defeated Paraguay 3-0 on Sunday to win a record 15th Copa America. Striker Diego Forlan grabbing two goals to take his international tally to 31 and complete an incredible family story.

Forlan leads Uruguay to record 15th Copa America

Liverpool attacker Luis Suarez, the player of the tournament, was also on target as Uruguay claimed a first continental crown since 1995 and broke their all-time Copa title tie of 14 which they held with Argentina.
For Forlan, it was an emotional triumph as he followed his father and grand-father into the record books as a Copa America winner.
"This really means a lot for me because my grand-father won it, my father won it and now I have also done it," said the former Manchester United striker, who took his international tally to 31 goals, a record he now holds with Hector Scarone.
"Three generations have won this trophy. The name of Forlan will stay in history."
Suarez opened the scoring in the 12th minute when his drive took a deflection off Dario Veron and left goalkeeper Justo Villar wrong-footed.
Results: Suarez voted best player at Copa America
Atletico Madrid star Forlan added the second three minutes from the interval when Egidio Arevalo cleverly intercepted the ball to release the veteran attacker who confidently buried a left-footed strike.
It was Forlan's first goal in 13 matches as Uruguay, who knocked out hosts Argentina in the quarter-finals, were in cruise control at River Plate's famous Estadio Monumental.
Suarez added: "We really wanted this. We are a united group and we deserved it. We had to fight like crazy to win this and we've achieved something great."
Captain Diego Lugano said the win was a triumph for the whole of his country.
"I'm really proud of the way we played and the way we did it. You cannot imagine how I feel. We've made a lot of people very happy."
Uruguay, who were World Cup semi-finalists in 2010, dominated the first half while Paraguay, who had reached the final without winning a game, were desperately short of ideas and inspiration.
They had been fortunate not to have been a goal down as early as the second minute, needing Villar to pull off a sensational, point-blank save to keep out a bullet header from Diego Lugano.
Paraguay, the champions in 1953 and 1979, had defeated Brazil and Venezuela in penalty shoot-outs in both the quarter-finals and semi-finals after the games ended 0-0 in extra-time.
But they came close to pulling a goal back in the 54th minute when Nelson Valdez crashed a right-foot volley off the crossbar with Uruguay goalkeeper Fernando Muslera getting a slight touch to deflect the ball towards the woodwork.
Just moments earlier, Suarez had muscled his way down the left, but his cutback for Forlan dropped just inches behind the Atletico Madrid man as he closed down on goal.
Paraguay again looked dangerous when Ivan Piris charged down the right flank before crossing to Christian Riveros whose flick was saved by Muslera.
Uruguay remained in a positive frame of mind, bringing on prolific Napoli striker Edinson Cavani for Alvaro Pereira after 65 minutes.
Cavani then teed-up Sebastian Eguren 10 minutes later but Villar pulled off a one-handed save despite being off-balance.
Forlan then hit his 31st international goal in the last minute after being set-up by Cavani and Suarez.

Maintaining Bone Health

When we are young, the formation of new bone cells faster than the destruction of old bone so that bone density is still awake. After 30 years of age that occurred the destruction of old bone cells faster than the formation of new bone cells. The higher bone density, the less likely to have osteoporosis that is, a condition that causes bones to become weak and brittle.
understand how diet, physical activity and other lifestyle factors can help maintain bone health.

There are several factors that affect bone health, among others:
1. The amount of calcium in food intake
Low calcium intake of foods that cause reduced bone density, early bone loss and increased fracture risk.
2. Levels of physical activity
A person with low physical activity have a higher risk of osteoporosis than active.
3. Smoking and excessive alcohol consumption
Research shows that smoking can be one factor that causes bones to become more brittle. If you consume more than two bottles of alcoholic drinks a day can increase the risk of osteoporosis, as alcohol can impair the body's ability to absorb calcium.
4. Gender factors
Women have less bone tissue than men.
5. Age factor
The older the bones are thinner and fragile.
6. Factors of race, body mass index, and genetic
The biggest risk is the Mongoloid race (Asian). Low body mass index (19 or less) also had a greater risk. In addition, having a parent or sibling with osteoporosis also have a greater risk (genetic factors).
7. Hormonal factors
Formation of too much thyroid hormone can cause bone fragility. In women, bone fragility increases drastically at menopause as estrogen levels decline. Amenorrhea (no menstrual period before menopause) in the long run, it also increases the risk of osteoporosis. In men, low testosterone levels can cause loss of bone density.
8. Eating disorders
People suffering from anorexia or bulimia have a high risk of experiencing bone fragility. Moreover, gastrectomy (one procedure in abdominal surgery), weight loss surgery and Crohn's disease, Celiac disease and Cushing's disease can affect the body's ability to absorb calcium.
9. Use of certain medications
Long-term use of corticosteroid medications, such as prednisone, cortisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone can cause bone damage. Other drugs associated with an increased risk of osteoporosis include: long-term use of aromatase inhibitors to treat breast cancer, antidepressant drugs called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), treatment with the cancer drug methotrexate, some anti-seizure medications, the acid-blocking drugs the so-called proton pump inhibitors and antacids containing aluminum.
What can be done to maintain bone health?
Measures to prevent damage to the bone, among others:
1. Increasing the calcium content in food intake
For adults (age 19-50 years) and men aged 51-70 years, the Institute of Medicine recommends 1,000 mg of calcium per day.
Recommendation to increase to 1,200 mg per day for women aged over 51 years and men aged over 71 years.
Calcium is found in almonds, broccoli, kale, canned salmon, sardines, and soybeans and processed products (tofu and tempeh). If you find it difficult to get enough calcium from the daily diet, consult your doctor about calcium supplements.
2. Consider the intake of vitamin D
For adults (age 19-70 years), the Institute of Medicine recommends 600 IU (international units) of vitamin D a day. Recommendation to increase to 800 IU a day for adults (aged over 71 years).
3. Make sure it has enough physical activity every day
Physical activity such as walking, jogging, tennis, and climbing stairs can help the body build strong bones and slows the process of bone fragility.
4. Avoid smoking and drinking no more than two alcoholic drinks a day.
5. Consider the use of drugs
A number of medications available to help slow the process of bone breakdown and maintain bone density, including bisphosphonates (Fosamax, Actonel, Boniva) and raloxifene (Evista). If taking any medications that affect bone health, consult your doctor. Doctors will monitor bone density and may recommend other drugs to help prevent bone damage.
6. Consideration of hormone therapy for women
Estrogen therapy, mainly initiated immediately after menopause, may help maintain bone density. However, use of hormone therapy may increase the risk of blood clots, endometrial cancer and possibly breast cancer. Consult your doctor if need hormone therapy.
If you are concerned with bone health or osteoporosis risk factors, consult your doctor. Doctors may recommend a bone density test. The test results will help doctors measure the bone density and determine the extent of bone damage that has occurred.

JUSTIN Bieber is to perform a private concert for David and Victoria Beckham‘s children.

The 17-year-old singing sensation is to receive coaching from the soccer star in return for playing a show for the kids — Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, eight, Cruz, six, and one-week-old Harper — and says he will even bring girlfriend Selena Gomez along to sing.
“I’ve agreed to give the boys a private concert at their house — if David gives me some private soccer lessons,” Justin said.
“David’s an amazing dad, and he told me how happy it would make the boys, so I had to say yes.
“Maybe now they have a girl, Selena will have to come too, and dedicate a song to Harper.
“David tells me my records are always played in their household, and David and Victoria are both really cool, so I’m happy to oblige.”
Despite Victoria and David saying their family is complete now they have a daughter, Justin thinks they may have another child in future.
“David and Victoria are great parents, they will do anything for their kids. People thought they would stop now they have a daughter but I’m not so sure, they both love kids so much I can see them having one more,” he said.

Gecko Food

Geckos are predatory animals. This means that a lot of a geckos day is spent hunting for food.
Geckos eat insects mainly due to their abundance. They like to eat crickets mostly but will generally eat anything they can catch. It is very important to ensure the crickets are not too big for your pet to handle, never feed a gecko a cricket that is larger than its head in size.
Geckos when in captive will also eat meal worms and wax worms.
Wax worms should be given as a treat maybe 3 worms per week at most. Baby geckos will eat fruit flies. The species drosophila are the most popular.
Feed your gecko twice a day in the beginning months. Reduce to twice a week when they are over 7 months old.When your gecko reaches adult size you can introduce a pinkie mouse into their diet to keep them at their healthiest.
It is very important you monitor how much a gecko eats so that it gets enough food. It is a good idea to provide a separate container to the one they live in to feed them their meals. You can monitor their diet easily and keep the main habitat clean.
Dusting the insects a great way to deliver important vitamins and minerals to a gecko. Insects and the dusting powder can be put together in a plastic bag or tin can, and shaken gently to coat the insects.You can also add a jar lid that has some vitamin powder in it to the cage. Geckos seem to know when to take a little as required for their health. Feeding the gecko food every other day should be optimal. Feeding eight meal worms three to four time a week to a four inch gecko which fits the two appropriately sized insects for every inch of your gecko's total length dietary model.

‘Super tomatoes’ can reduce the risk of cancer

LONDON: British researchers claim to have developed new " super tomatoes" fortified with minerals which can improve your immune system and help prevent cancer.

The new varieties, which have hit shelves across the UK, have been enriched with selenium, a powerful anti-oxidant which the researchers believe could not only boost the immune system but also help prevent cancer.

The mineral, found naturally in foods such as Brazil nuts, shellfish and liver, is also important for the thyroid gland, which determines how quickly the body uses energy and also produces proteins, the Daily Mail reported.
Food scientists turned their attention to the mineral because it is lacking in UK diets.

Low concentrations in farm soil means little of the mineral finds its way into home-grown foods.
There is evidence that a deficiency may lead to heart disease and, while it does not tend to directly cause illnesses , it can make the body more likely to catch infections.

Dr Carina Norris, of the Nutrition Society, said the tomatoes were a great way to get the nutrient into our diets.
"Selenium plays an important role in supporting the immune system, and it's thought that getting adequate selenium reduces our risk of cancer ," she said.

"But many people in the UK don't get enough from their diets — the latest data suggests the average person consumes well below the target of 60mg for women and 75mg for men. "So to get a 'difficult' nutrient into food that most eat — such as tomatoes — has to be a good thing."

The new tomato follows Vitamin D milk, yoghurts and juice it has developed to tackle health problems.

Coffee reduces liver cancer risk

Coffee reduces liver cancer risk: Study

A study involving ethnic Chinese residents of Singapore found that drinking three or more cups of coffee a day could reduce the risk of liver cancer by 44 per cent, The Straits Times newspaper reported Saturday.

Researchers at the Department of Epidemiology of the National University of Singapore suggested two oils found in coffee beans, cafestol and kahweol, have liver—protecting properties.

The research — begun in 1993 and involving more than 63,000 ethnic Chinese men and women aged 45 to 74, populations considered at higher risk of liver cancer — added to a growing body of evidence contradicting the long—held notion that coffee is bad for the health.

Associate professor Koh Woon Puay, who was involved in the study recently published in the US journal Cancer Causes and Control, said the finding meant coffee drinkers could now worry less about liver cancer.

“Coffee has often had to fight its bad image, compared with tea, which is often portrayed very positively,” Koh was quoted as saying.

But a study by her team on green tea drinking found that it had delivered no protection against the disease.

A 2008 coffee—drinking study found that drinking four or more cups a day might lower the risk of diabetes by 30 per cent.

JUSTIN Bieber and Selena Gomez crashed a wedding over the weekend.

The couple were having a romantic dinner date at a restaurant on Malibu beach when they heard Justin’s music playing at some nearby nuptials.
So they ventured over, leaving the bride and groom and their guests stunned.
“Unbeknownst to all of the guests, Justin Bieber and his girlfriend Selena Gomez were just done eating at a restaurant up the road from the Adamson House estate and had decided to take a stroll down the beach. I guess he heard his song play and decided to crash the wedding party to check the scene out. He was cool enough to make a cameo, which surprised all of the wedding guests,” a source said.
The Baby singer also congratulated the newlyweds, Rob and Jeanine McCool, on tying the knot and posed for pictures with the couple and guests.
“He even took the microphone, congratulated the newlywed couple, and said a few nice words, while posing for a series of pictures with his fans,” said the source.
“That was one of the coolest and nicest things a person of his celebrity can do, and it certainly made a memorable night for the newlywed couple Mrs. and Mrs. Rob and Jeanine McCool.”

2013 Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG

The 2011 Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG is no small player in the world of super sedans, packing up to 571 horsepower and 664 pound-feet of torque from a 5.5-liter twin-turbo V-8 engine, but that's not stopping AMG from working to improve it. These spy shots show the latest work on a prototype for the 2013 model.

Heavy camouflage obscures almost all of the styling details, though at this early stage, it's not likely to have much in the way of the final body work. What exactly is going on under the skin that might improve on the current mix? It's hard to know.

Our spies did spot larger brake discs and more open front air intakes, but beyond that, it's speculation as to what might be brewing for the next iteration of the S63 AMG. With the recent introduction of the M157 twin-turbo 5.5-liter engine, however, we don't expect that to change much. A freshened exterior, minor tweaks to the drive programs and suspension tuning, and likely an upgraded slate of the latest options and features are a more likely bet.

How can Air Pollution make Your Brain is Bad, Forgetful, Slow, or Depressed ?

In the new study, mice were exposed to either filtered air or polluted air. The polluted air contained fine particulate matter, the kind of pollution created by cars, factories, and natural dust. After breathing the air six hours a day, five days a week for 10 months--nearly half the lifespan of the mice--the animals were given a variety of behavioral tests.

In a learning and memory test, mice were placed in the middle of a brightly lit arena and given two minutes to find an escape hole leading to a dark box where they feel more comfortable. They were given five days of training, but the mice who breathed the polluted air took longer to learn the location of the escape hole. They were also less likely to remember the site of the escape hole when tested later.

In another experiment, mice exposed to the polluted air showed more depressive-like behaviors than did the mice that breathed the filtered air. The polluted-air mice also showed signs of higher levels of anxiety in one test, but not in another.

The hippocampus, which lies deep within the brain, is important to learning, memory, and mood.

How might air pollution lead to these changes? The researchers studied the hippocampal area of the mice brains looking for answers. Lead author of the study and a doctoral student in neuroscience at Ohio State University, Laura Fonken said "We wanted to look carefully at the hippocampus because it is associated with learning, memory, and depression," .

The researchers looked specifically at branches, called dendrites, that grow from nerve cells. Dendrites have small projections growing off them called spines, which transmit signals from one neuron to another. The researchers found that the mice that breathed polluted air had shorter dendrites, fewer spines, and overall reduced cell complexity compared to the clean-air mice.

A and B are dendrites. Notice the small spines.

The differences may be a result of inflammation. "The hippocampus is particularly sensitive to damage caused by inflammation," Fonken said. "We suspect that the systemic inflammation caused by breathing polluted air is being communicated to the central nervous system. . . . This could have important and troubling implications for people who live and work in polluted urban areas around the world."

Peugeot 508 RXH Diesel-Electric Hybrid Car from Peugeot

Here comes Peugeot’s next big sedan. A classic four-door, it’s the same size as a Camry, but it won’t be sold in the United States. The car is made and designed for Europe first. There will also be a chinese version, built in China, but if Peugeot would choose to make its reentry in the US, this 508 would be a very nice model to start with, and here’s why. 189-inches long, the 508 is the perfect size for a family car.A diesel hybrid engine is the stand-out feature of Peugeot’s surprise attempt to take a slice of the market inhabited by the Audi Allroad and Volvo Cross-Country.
The four-wheel-drive 508 RXH is the latest, very different, variant of Peugeot’s recently-launched 508 large family car range.
The French brand clearly expects the car to propel it into previously uncharted territories, like Citroën with the DS line looking to the premium sector for conquest sales.
The 508 RXH uses the 2-litre diesel hybrid powertrain first seen in the 3008 Hybrid4 that is due in showrooms later this year. Rated at 200bhp, it includes an all-electric zero emissions mode for city driving.
This helps slice the car’s overall CO2 emissions rating to 109g/km, alongside a combined cycle fuel economy figure of 67.2mpg – in a car that boasts full four-wheel-drive.
While not giving away too much in the way of detail at this stage, Peugeot says that the 508 RXH is higher and wider than the 508 SW that it is based upon – the extra width no doubt coming courtesy of beefed up wheelarches.
In a clear targeting of premium buyers, the car will feature distinct LED daylight running lights in three vertical ‘Lion’s claws’ each side of the grille.
Equipment levels will include such niceties as keyless open and go, electric front seats, a head-up display, quality audio and sat nav and 18-inch alloy well as standard.
The 508 RXH will debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September and arrive in showrooms in Spring 2012.

Daniel Radcliffe is finished with Harry Potter

Daniel Radcliffe's role in the Harry Potter franchise turned him into a star, but the actor will not play the same character again as he feels the boy wizard's story has ended in a 'perfect way'.

'I'm the only person in the world that doesn't want there to be an eighth Harry Potter book,' he told Star magazine.

'Believe me, I've given 10 years - I can! I think it's been an amazing 10 years and I would be quite happy for it to finish at this point because the stories were rounded off in such a succinct and perfect way,' said the actor who will be seen in the last installment 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2', which is releasing Friday.

The 21-year-old, who started his journey with the franchise in 2001 with 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone', however, admits he will always be 'proud' of his work on the movie series, reports contactmusic.com.

'Every opportunity I will get for the rest of my life, I would not have got if it wasn't for Harry Potter. It would be the height of ingratitude if I was ever anything but proud to be associated with these films,' said the actor who was only 11 when he did his first Potter movie.

A Giant Gecko Worth $19 Millions

After read the headline in my local newspaper,i am surprise. There was a teenager found a giant gecko on the border of Nunukan (Kalimantan Island and Malaysia). His name Arbin. With weight around 64 kilograms. There is something make me surprised. This giant gecko worth $19 millions. Tribun kaltim newspaper was covering this news. This giant gecko was sold by someone from Indonesia. Arbin said that this gecko brought to China. Although this animal has sold but there are many people still want to buy this gecko with the higher price. There is makes me surprised was there's a man who want to buy this gecko $2,7 millions per ounces. You can calculate how much money he will spend only for a gecko. His name Andi Makkuraga Hidayat. He is gecko entrepreneurs. Almost three years he ran this business. So far the largest gecko which he was bought around five kilograms. Please take a picture below, how big this gecko.
This was become great business for the people in my country . They have a new job as a gecko's hunt. People who have passion to get a lot of money and use the good chance. They use their leisure time to hunt the gecko. Most of them who live in the village which there are many trees. And they also hunt this animal in the forest. There are a lot of information which said that this animal worth thousands until hundred thousands dollar. During this time, the voice of gecko is often used to predict the weather. but recently the demand for these reptiles are higher than before.

Many people hunt geckos because it has become one of Indonesia's export goods. Each day about 3,000 geckos were exported. There is a farm which produce geckos. This farm located in Probolinggo, East Java.Beside as a farm, the owner of this place also as an exporter. To meets the demand from China, Japan and some countries in Southeast Asia. These geckos have dried in this farm. However, not all geckos can be exported. Gecko which weight above 3.5 ounces.

AIDS/HIV is deadly disease.Because theres is no medicine to cure AIDS/HIV. I found an information that gecko can be cure AIDS/HIV. If it's true, I think this is a wonders of medicine world. But unfortunately I can't get good reference about that. Many people said that gecko as an alternative solution for AIDS/HIV. But the geckos has meet the limited weight about 4 ounce. the oldest of gecko and the largest one has much more enzyme. I also heard that gecko have booked by Japan and Taiwan people as a medium of AIDS drug research.
Many people believe that gecko also as an alternative for itching and asthma medication. It has believed for a long time ago. I hope it really can be cure an AIDS/HIV

10cm tsunami hits port town of Ofunato after Strong earthquake rocks northeastern Japan

A SMALL tsunami has reached the Pacific coast of northern Japan after a strong quake hit the region heavily damaged by the March earthquake and tsunami.
A powerful 7.1-magnitude earthquake struck off the eastern Japan coast at 9:57 a.m. (0057 GMT) local time Sunday, prompting the authorities to issue a tsunami warning for the northeastern coast.

The port town of Ofunato, Iwate prefecture, saw a 10-centimetre tsunami at 11.44am (AEST), the Japan Meteorological Agency said.

No damage has been reported from the tsunami and quake.
The quake hit at a depth of 10 kilometers under the seabed and the epicenter is some 200 kilometers from the coast of Miyagi Prefecture, Japan's meteorological agency said.

Television footage of the port in Ofunato did not show any visible sign of the tsunami, with the water surface seemingly calm and flat.

A tsunami warning was issued for Iwate, Miyagi and Fukushima prefectures. A small tsunami of up to 50 centimeters was expected along the affected region, the meteorological agency said.
The Japanese agency lifted the tsunami advisory at 11:45 am.
"Changes in sea level may occur for the next few hours. Please use caution when conducting activities near the ocean, such as swimming and surf fishing," a Japanese weather agency official told a news briefing.
Television footage of Ofunato and Soma did not show any visible sign of the tsunami, with the water surface seemingly calm and flat.
Tokyo Electric Power Co (TEPCO) said the latest quake did not cause fresh problems at the crippled Fukushima Daiichi (number one) nuclear plant and the nearby Fukushima Daini (number two) plant.
"We have received reports that there has been no significant impact at the Fukushima Daiichi and the Fukushima Daini nuclear plants," a TEPCO spokesman told a news conference.
Cooling of crippled reactors at Fukushima Daiichi continued, although the company told work crews near the water to seek higher ground during the tsunami advisory.
The Japanese weather agency originally expected a small tsunami of up to 50cm (20 inches) along the affected region.
Communities along the Pacific coast issued warnings and advisories for local residents to seek higher ground or to leave areas near the water.
"For a second, I thought maybe another big one will come," a middle-aged man in coastal Kesennuma, Miyagi, told national broadcaster NHK.
The devastating March 11 and tsunami left about 22,000 people dead or missing and triggered an atomic crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant.

Brazil draws Paraguay 2-2, Venezuela stuns Ecuador 1-0 in Copa America

Venezuela stunned Ecuador 1-0 to go top of Group B at the Copa America on Saturday with only their third win in the competition since they first took part in 1967. The Venezuelans, once the whipping boys of South American soccer, have four points having held holders Brazil 0-0 in their opening match in La Plata last Sunday.
Brazil and Paraguay are second with two points apiece after a 2-2 draw in Cordoba earlier on Saturday.
Midfielder Cesar Gonzalez scored the only goal just past the hour when he fired in a shot from outside the box past static goalkeeper Marcelo Elizaga who was unsighted by one of his defenders.
In Cordoba, Argentina, substitute striker Fred scored in the 89th minute and defending champion Brazil salvaged a 2-2 draw with Paraguay in their Group A match.

Brazil 2-2 Paraguay: Fred saves Samba

The Fluminense man rescue a point for a Brazil team that once again failed to impress in the Copa America

A strike from Fred just minutes before the final whistle salvaged a 2-2 draw for Brazil against a Paraguay side who were seemingly on their way to secure a famous victory in the Group B Copa America clash.

Jadson open the score with a goal before half-time, but goals from Roque Santa Cruz and Nelso Valdez fired the Guarani to the brink of victory over the lacklustre favourites.

Paraguay came flying out of the blocks on a gloriously warm winter's afternoon in Cordoba, and Newell's Old Boys winger Marcelo Estigarribia forced a save from Julio Cesar seconds in with a speculative shot from distance. Brazil meanwhile began how they finished against Venezuela, attacking with little purpose or urgency and relying on individual forays from Neymar down the left.

The Guarani should have taken the lead after just two minutes. Lucas Barrios did excellently to hold up the ball and thread through to Roque Santa Cruz, but his strike partner blazed over when only Cesar stood between him and the opener. Paraguay continued to work hard, pressuring the Selecao all over the pitch and provoking some awful mistakes in defence and midfield.

Jadson was the surprise inclusion minutes before kick-off in place of Robinho, and the Shakhtar Donetsk playmaker was key in Brazil's first foray on goal. A neat exchange between him and Ganso opened up the defence for Alexandre Pato's benefit, but the Milan man chose to try and dribble round Justo Villar and was denied well by the goalkeeper.

After a bright start, the game started to lose intensity, and a section of frustrated Brazil fans pleaded for the inclusion of Kaka and Lucas to give life to a side looking chronically short of ideas in the final third. Paraguay meanwhile retreated back into their own half, although Estigarribia and the hulking Nestor Ortigoza impressed in the middle - the San Lorenzo man demonstrating his strength with several huge challenges.

Just before half-time, however, Brazil found the key to take the initiative. With 38 minutes on the clock, Jadson was left with space on the edge of the area after some patient, one-touch buildup. The 27-year-old fired home precisely to the left of Villar to record his first-ever international strike, sending a rejuvenated Selecao into the break 1-0 to the good.

It would be Jadson's last contribution in the match, as he was sacrificed by Mano Menezes at half time in favour of Elano and a stronger midfield. They struggled to rediscover their rhythm after the break, however, and scrappy fouls started to characterise a messy start to the second period. Paraguay were on top, and it was no surprise when they levelled.

Huge spaces could be found in the middle of the field, and the Guarani took full advantage as they streaked down the left. The excellent Estigarribia reached the byline and raked the ball across goal, and Santa Cruz was there to atone for his earlier miss by calmly slotting past Cesar.

A spell of dominance for Gerardo Martino's team followed, but with 20 minutes to go, Neymar spurned a glorious opportunity to take the lead. The Santos man found himself all alone against Villar, but like Pato before him, tried to be too clever. The repercussions were almost instant.

Paraguay broke immediately on the counter, and with Dani Alves nowhere to be seen, the ball once again found it's way to Nelson Valdez in the middle. The Hercules man was denied by Cesar, but the ball rebounded kindly and at the second time of asking he managed to turn it in with his head. The Estadio Mario Kempes exploded with shouts from the Paraguayan fans, who comfortably outnumbered the Brazil contingent in the terraces.

Menezes threw on young Lucas Moura in an effort to kick-start his lacklustre team, but there was no way through a resilient rival defence. With just minutes left on the clock, however, substitute Fred picked up Ganso's ball and drove in from the edge of the box, breaking the hearts of the Paraguay support and saving a point for the defending Copa America champions.

The flying car is finally

It's been cleared to take to the skies for more than a year - but that's not much use when you're supposed to be able to drive it, too.
But now the flying car has at least been declared officially road legal.
It means the Terrafugia Transition could be in U.S. garages as early as next autumn, after two years of delays.
It may not be the world's first flying car, but its makers say it is the first to have wings that fold up automatically at the push of a button.

It costs $200,000 - about the same price as a Ferrari - and can be reserved online for what Terrafugia describes as a 'modest' $10,000 deposit.

The polycarbonate windscreens can withstand the impact of birds, so they won't fracture.
The administration has also granted Terrafugia permission to use heavier-grade tyres, which are not normally allowed on multi-purpose vehicles.
It's the second hurdle the Transition had to overcome before it could go on sale, after the Federal Aviation Administration ruled last year it could fly with its current weight, 110lbs over the normal legal limit for light sport aircraft category.
Terrafugia had originally hoped to deliver its first production vehicles as early as this year, but after problems with suppliers it has had to delay the release date to late 2012.

Most Popular Celebrity Cars : Mercedes-Benz E Class or Cadillac Escalade

Mercedes-Benz E Class

Cadillac Escalade

Celebrities' wheels get a lot more attention than other drivers' cars, and certain models have gained popularity simply because celebrities were driving them. The most popular celebrity rides vary from year to year, but there are a few standouts that keep appearing at movie premieres and autograph signings around Hollywood.

The Cadillac Escalade is by far the most popular vehicle in Los Angeles and in other celebrity centers, as its blend of power and incredible luxury have made the Escalade the go-to choice for celebrities everywhere. From its black paint to its chrome aluminum wheels, the Escalade cuts a striking figure and can transport celebs in style and luxury.

Its 6.2L V8 is more than powerful enough to speed to an awards ceremony, and with dozens of aftermarket wheels available to customize the Escalade, it's easy to see why the SUV attracts so many famous drivers. Celebrities with a set of Escalade wheels include Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, and perhaps most famously, Tiger Woods--although his SUV has a few well-placed dents in it.

The Escalade is the only set of Cadillac wheels that has attracted celebrities. The Coupe DeVille has had a storied history, and actresses like Mischa Barton have somewnhat revived the car's popularity. Mischa's Cadillac is a 1959 Coupe DeVille concept with standard wheels, and although the actress undoubtedly loves cars to be driving such a classic, she ran her Coupe out of gas shortly after buying it.

Rappers are known for loving cars, and head honcho 50 Cent probably wins the prize for the best collection of incredible rides. His prize possession is a Rolls Royce 100-EX, but his specially-crafted Pontiac G8 with 22-inch wheels has become more of a standard for celebrity car lovers.

Mercedes-Benz is a name that's often associated with celebrity culture and high price tags. The Mercedes-Benz E Class is particularly popular with celebrities, including model Gabriel Aubry and actress Jennifer Aniston. The E Class is available in a variety of styles and trims, although celebrities tend to prefer the coupe or convertible. Cars like the Mercedes-Benz E63 have 19-inch wheels, although image-conscious celebrities usually update the standard factory rims with bigger, better-looking wheels and low-profile tires.

Not every celebrity drives a hyper-expensive luxury vehicle. Late night host Conan O'Brien owns and drives a 1992 Ford Taurus, while comedian and writer Larry David has a simple Prius with factory wheels as his main car. These celebs might be trying to keep a low profile, as their wheels are far from eye-catching on the road, or they might just be trying to save some cash--in any case, the trendsetters prefer more powerful and luxurious cars.

Caterham to appear on the F1 cars of new partner Team Lotus at the British GP 2011

At the Grand Prix at Silverstone on July 9 and 10, Caterham Cars will enter Formula One where its name will be seen on the F1 cars of Team Lotus, its new partner. This move by the British sportscar maker brings it to the center of global motorsport and allows its cars to be promoted in new territories. This move comes half a century after Innes Ireland of Team Lotus had its first Formula One victory in the U.S. Grand Prix.

2012 Porsche Cayman to receive reworked versions of its current engines

Porsche's second-generation Cayman was spied while testing at the Nurburgring before its 2012 launch. This small sports car will be offered with slightly reworked versions of the current 2.9 six-cylinder engine (which delivers 280bhp) and 3.4 six-cylinder engine (which produces 330bhp). There are more differences between the first-gen and second-gen Cayman such as the use of a new electro-mechanical steering system and a stop-start system to improve its fuel economy and lower CO2 emissions.

In the longer term, Porsche intends to give the Cayman a new turbo 2.0 flat four that is meant to be fitted on the 2014 mid-engined sub-Boxster roadster. The next-gen Cayman is set to be launched beside the third-generation Boxster, which will be seen at the Nurburgring for high-speed testing. The new Cayman and Boxster models will have new panels. Even the Boxster's fabric roof gets new panels as well. To make sure that weight is kept to a minimum, its new panels will be lighter.
The cars’ wheelbase and overall length will increase to almost 4.4 metres, offering more passenger and luggage space. These revisions will also make space in the Porsche range for the smaller roadster. The new models will arrive at the same time as the end of Porsche’s contract with Valmet Automotive in Finland, which is where the current Boxster and Cayman are built. The next-gen cars will be produced in Stuttgart.

Copa America 2011 : Costa Rica 2 - 0 Bolivia

Costa Rica defeated 9-man Bolivia, 2-0, to put them in a good position to advance out of their group in Copa America despite fielding an under-22 team.

Jul 7, 2011 - In Costa Rica's opening Copa America match they had to play more than an hour with 10 men so in their second match when Bolivia had a man sent off it seemed only fair. Then Bolivia had a second man sent off and the Ticos had themselves quite the advantage. They didn't necessarily need the advantage though. They were already up a goal when the first then second man was sent off and had been the better side all match, undoubtedly deserving of their 2-0 victory over the Bolivians.
The Ticos are already at a bit of a disadvantage because they were forced to send their first team to the CONCACAF Gold Cup last month, leaving them with just an under-22 side in Copa America, but don't tell the Bolivians they were short-handed. Josue Martinez put the Ticos on top in the 59th minute when he was able to get to a rebound and slot it home, a goal that finally made the scoreboard reflect the Costa Ricans' good play in the match.
Despite Costa Rica having been better, Bolivia was only down a goal and could still manage a point, but those hopes went out the window in the 70th minute. Ronald Rivero did the only thing he could to keep a goalbound shot from going in by handling it, but he earned a red card for it. The subsequent penalty was saved, but a 75th minute red card on Walter Flores put Bolivia down to nine men, then Joel Campbell score in the 78th minute to wrap things up.
Following Martinez's opening goal, the Costa Rican team gathered and held up the jersey of Dennis Marshall, who died in an auto accident just weeks ago after competing for the Ticos in the Gold Cup.
The three points that Costa Rica gained tonight puts them in second place in Group A on three points with one group match, on July 11 against Argentina, to play. Bolivia will play their next match on July 10 against Colombia and with just one point will almost certainly need a victory to advance

William, Kate Receive Diamond Polar Bears

No stranger to sparkly, Kate received some distinctly Canadian bling while touring with Prince William this week.
Signifying “mutual respect and affection,” a 4.5 carat platinum and pave diamond brooch in the shape of the official polar bear logo of Canada’s Northwest Territories was given to Kate by the regional government on July 5. It was coupled with a set of 2.48 carat cufflinks for William in the same design.
Made by jeweler Harry Winston, the presents took 250 hours to make and are comprised of 692 diamonds – 302 for her and 390 for him – that were mined in the Northwest Territories at the Diavik Diamond.
The design of the cufflinks and brooch reflected the native bead-work and craftsmanship of the local area, Robert Gannicott chairman of the jewelry firm, said.

Benefits of Gecko For Health

Many people look for Gecko, it is because Gecko is believed to cure various diseases. Since there are many who are looking for, these geckos too expensive. What are the properties of gecko meat that can reliably cure the disease?

Benefits gecko meat packaged in the form of food or powder believed to cure various diseases like skin diseases, asthma and also increases stamina men. But until now no studies are definitely capable of showing the efficacy of treatment using these geckos. Gecko been reported in clinical practice (trials to living things) that showed a positive effect on malignant tumors.

A research team led by Prof. Wang from Henan University of China had reported this. The findings were published in World Journal of Gastroenterology. But there is noresearch on pharmacological studies (the study of interactions between drugs, systems and processes of life) from the gecko, that its mechanism of action as anti-tumor remains unclear.

From the results of clinical practice report that was published by Medicalnewstoday, Gecko can not only strengthen the immune system of an organism, but also can induce tumor cells opoptosis namely tumor cells that can destroy himself. In clinical practice, the team of researchers used mice that female gender. In addition gecko also believed to decrease the activity of VEGF and bFGF protein. These proteins affect the growth of cancer cells. Impact of increasing immune system is detected based on thymus gland that can produce immune cells in the neck, pagosit and spleen cells. Well known to the decrease of VEGF and bFGF protein expression, and improvement of apoptotik cells that can kill tumor cells.

Currently the World Health Organization (WHO) is currently doing research on the efficacy of the meat and skin geckos which are believed to cure the disease of AIDS, asthma and various other skin diseases. This is to determine if these treatments are truly effective or not, and to see is there any side effects that might arise.

Gecko has been known since decades ago as a traditional medicine in China and also as one of the food menu. Along the development of information that shows the efficacy of this gecko, geckos now including one animal that has a high selling price.

Peugeot 208 will be launch

The future Peugeot 208 will be inspired by the SR1 concept, marking the beginning of a new design direction for the French brand.
According to the design director at the PSA Peugeot-Citroen Corporation, the brand’s next model will debut in 2012 and it will separate the range of B segment from its history.
Peugeot 208 and every model created after it will be uniform and each model will be properly integrated in the brand and become a part of the family.
In this way, Peugeot will align with the trend started by Volkswagen with Polo and by Opel with Insignia, regarding a common design for all models, adapted to their size.
“The 208 must be able to be sold worldwide in Asia, South America, or wherever, as well as in Europe. It must be easily recognized as being distinctly Peugeot everywhere in the world. You see a little bit of what (the new style) will be in the SR1 concept car. The SR1 represents what we want to do, with an athletic, pure, elegant, and precise design with much allure,” Jean-Pierre Ploue, director of design at Peugeot parent PSA/Peugeot-Citroen SA, told Automotive News Europe in an interview.
The new Peugeot 208 is expected to debut at Geneva Motor Show in March 2012.
