Maradiaga has since been charged with second-degree assault on allegations that she stabbed an anger management classmate in the arm with a folding knife. ...

ason Palmer Science and technology reporter, BBC News Empty table overlooking vineyard This might be the best place for the tastiest meal The level of background noise affects both the intensity of flavour and the perceived crunchiness of foods, researchers have found. Blindfolded diners assessed the sweetness, saltiness, and crunchiness, as well as overall flavour, of foods as they were played white noise. While louder noise reduced the reported sweetness or saltiness, it increased the measure of crunch. The research is reported in the journal Food Quality and Preference. It may go some way to explaining why airline food is notoriously bland - a phenomenon that drives airline catering ...

Experts admit swine flu jab 'may cause' deadly nerve disease. Health chiefs have for the first time acknowledged that the swine flu jab may be linked to an increased risk of developing a deadly nerve condition. Experts are examining a possible association between the controversial jab and Guillain-Barre Syndrome, according to a report from official watchdog the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA). Previously, the Government has always stressed there is no evidence to link the paralysing condition to the H1N1 vaccine. ...

Carrie Fisher and her Life with Bipolar Disorder

For most of a life spent squarely in the public spotlight, Carrie Fisher thought the nights she couldn't sleep or the times she couldn't stop talking came with life in Hollywood. So too, she thought, of the crushing depressions between the "ups," the dysfunctional family life, the trips to rehabilitation centers. It took a psychotic break in 1997- more than 15 years after her original bipolar diagnosis was made - to make Carrie realize something was truly amiss, even by the standards of La-La Land. Like the other ordeals she'd endured, from her parents' high- profile divorce when she was a toddler to her own struggles with substance abuse, Fisher ultimately chose ...

They used something called the International Prostate Symptom Score to measure various facets of urinary flow, like the strength of urine flow and residual urine left in your bladder... (You know how scientists love to measure everything...) Well, they studied 200 men... One hundred received beta sitosterol and 100 got a placebo (dummy pill). After 6 months, the men who took beta sitosterol: * Showed a dramatic improvement on their International Prostate Symptom Score -- an amazing 350 percent improvement over those who took a placebo! * Strengthened their urinary ...
Cancer 'is purely man-made' say scientists.

Cancer is a man-made disease fuelled by the excesses of modern life, a study of ancient remains has found. Michael Zimmerman, a visiting professor at Manchester University, said: 'In an ancient society lacking surgical intervention, evidence of cancer should remain in all cases. 'The virtual absence of malignancies in mummies must be interpreted as indicating their rarity in antiquity, indicating that cancer-causing factors are limited to societies affected by modern industrialisation.' To trace cancer's roots, Professor Zimmerman and colleague Rosalie David analysed possible references to the disease in classical literature and scrutinised signs in the fossil record and in ...

A New Jersey woman suffering an asthma attack was denied an inhaler at a pharmacy because she was $1.99 short, MyFoxNY.com reported. Katherine O’Connor and her boyfriend were walking home from McDonald’s in Garwood, N.J., Thursday morning when she had the asthma attack, but she did not have her inhaler with her. She went to a nearby CVS, hoping to get a refill on her inhaler prescription. But, O’Connor was denied the refill because she did not have enough money to pay for the prescription. The medicine cost just over $21, and the couple was short $1.99. "I had exactly a $20 bill. It came to $21 and change," said O’Connor’s boyfriend, Jack Brown. "I ...

The "Petition for Abuse/Neglect" filed on behalf of Cheyenne Irish by New Hampshire's Division of Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF) alleges that the baby, who was born on October 6, was "neglected" by her mother on that very day in the hospital where the infant was born. What this means is that Stephanie Taylor's act of "neglect" was to give birth to her child, and that the only way she could have avoided that charge was to have Cheyenne killed in utero. Because Stephanie had neglected this supposed duty, the DCYF kidnapped Cheyenne a little more than 16 hours following her birth. Barring a near-miraculous outcome, Cheyenne's parents will ...

What can you say, dear, after you say I'm sorry ... for deliberately infecting you with syphilis as part of a secret government experiment? Secretary of State Clinton and Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius probably wondered as much a week ago Friday, after having to issue an awkward joint apology for just such a program -- funded by the U.S. government from 1946 to 1948. In that experiment -- recently unearthed by a diligent academic -- the feds infected hundreds of Guatemalan prisoners and mental patients. When diseased prostitutes failed to do the trick, the docs injected the bacteria directly, via spinal puncture or penis scrapes. A third of the victims never ...

You can just feel the pressure building inside the teapot. New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has requested that the USDA permit his city to engage in a two year experimental program whereby recipients of food stamps – issued by the USDA- would be banned from using the government food assistance program for the purchase of sugar-sweetened beverages. The test program, which would apply to 1.7 million of NYC’s 8 million residents, would seek to discover whether the denial of these unhealthy substances will have a measurable effect on skyrocketing obesity rates, particularly among the nation’s poor. Not surprisingly, those who warn of big government sticking its nose into ...

...She discovered that with Alzheimer’s disease, certain brain cells may have difficulty utilizing glucose (made from the carbohydrates we eat), the brain’s principal source of energy. Without fuel, these precious neurons may begin to die. There is an alternative energy source for brain cells—fats known as ketones. If deprived of carbohydrates, the body produces ketones naturally. But this is the hard way to do it—who wants to cut carbohydrates out of the diet completely? Another way to produce ketones is by consuming oils that have medium-chain triglycerides. When MCT oil is digested, the liver converts it into ketones. In the first few weeks of life, ketones provide ...

California residents will vote in November on whether or not to legalize marijuana. If they vote "yes," says Harvard economics professor Jeffrey Miron in the interview below, that should only be the beginning. All drugs should be legalized nationwide, Miron says. Pot, cocaine, LSD, crystal-meth --- you name it. "Legalizing drugs would save roughly $41.3 billion per year in government expenditure on enforcement of prohibition. Of these savings, $25.7 billion would accrue to state and local governments, while $15.6 billion would accrue to the federal government," Miron claims in a recent Cato Institute report he co-authored. According to their website, "The report ...

Her presentation that day... exposing mainstream medicine's most deadly mistake... was intended only as a private screening. But when I heard it, I asked Jenny if it was safe to share the news with my Daily Dose readers. She agreed immediately. "It's too urgent to keep under wraps," she said. But this kind of information is a powder keg. And while it's hosted right now on HSI's servers, I'm not sure how long it will be there. So, for now, Jenny's special presentation is available ...

The Polluted Anti-Christ Mind, Part One * antichrists "But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat." (Genesis 9:4) "It shall be a perpetual statute for your generations throughout all your dwellings, that ye eat neither fat nor blood." (Leviticus 3:17) "Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourneth among you eat blood." (Leviticus 17:12) Now we know that the jews are not Hebrews or Israelites. Rather, they are a mixture of Kenite, Canaanite, Edomite, Rephaim, and several other races and they falsely claim to be Israelites. Yet they also claim to ...

Why You Need Flaxseed in Your Diet flax seeds . . . a trio of outstanding benefits Twenty-five thousand women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer each year, and of these, 15,000 die. However scientists at the University of Illinois have found that including flaxseed in the diet for one year, reduced severity of ovarian cancer as well as increased survival rates in hens. Hens are the only animal that develops ovarian cancer on the surface of the ovaries the way humans do. The scientists, whose findings were published in Gynecologic Oncology, said their next step may be a clinical trial that evaluates flaxseed as a chemosuppressant of ovarian cancer in women. The humble little flaxseed is in ...
