A life of crime appears to damage offenders' health once they reach their 40s, new research suggests. Researchers from Cardiff and Texas universities looked at data on 400 men who have been followed since childhood. They found offenders were more likely to be hospitalised and were 13 times more likely to be disabled. The researchers had earlier found better health in their late teens and late 20s among those who had offended when they were young. The findings are published in the journal Criminal Behaviour and Mental Health. Health consequences The men are part of the Cambridge Study in Delinquent Development, which recruited them when they were aged eight or nine in 1961 and ...

BEIJING - The consumer product giant Unilever said on Thursday that it had recalled and destroyed a batch of Lipton tea bags - one of its branded products - in response to the charge that they contained impurities. It said the product was taken off shelves in August, after an official spot check found it contained excessive residues from heavy metals. "We recalled and destroyed all the products of that batch in August," Unilever said in a statement sent to China Daily. The company received a disqualification notice from the country's top quality watchdog on Aug 5. "We also screened other products and raw materials, and haven't found other batches with the same ...

EW YORK - Faced with the difficult task of balancing a budget in austere times, officials in New York's Suffolk County said on Friday they had no choice: they had to sack Santa Claus. The county executive said he could not justify carving out $660 from his $2.7 billion budget to pay David McKell, 83, a World War II veteran and former homicide detective, to don his Santa suit for the tenth year running and greet children on Long Island. "How do you justify that expenditure when a health centre is losing money?" Steve Levy, the Suffolk County Executive, said in an interview. He said that some 750 county employees were facing layoffs as a result of budget restraints, including ...

Women Who Raped 17 Men Wanted More Than Just Sex

Admit it -- when you hear the term serial rapist, you tend to picture a man, right? But in Zimbabwe, a trio of women in their 20s are being charged for sex attacks of 17 men. When their car was involved in an accident on Friday, police found the women -- Rosemary Chakwizira, 24, Sophie Nhokwara, 26, and her sister, Netsai Nhokwara, 24 -- had a stash of 33 condoms containing semen. Ughhhh. I know! It seems the women had been targeting male hitchhikers over the past two years, either giving them a drink with a tranquilizer or raping them at gunpoint. Terrifying! And 17 men have come forward to positively identify the three women as having raped them, so it's not just like one or two guys ...

French President Nicolas Sarkozy called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a "liar" in remarks to US President Barack Obama overheard by journalists. "I can't stand him any more, he's a liar," Mr Sarkozy said in French. "You may be sick of him, but me, I have to deal with him every day," Mr Obama replied. The exchange at the G20 summit was quoted by a French website, Arret sur Images, and confirmed by other media. The remarks - during a private conversation - were overheard by a few journalists last week but were not initially reported, the BBC's Christian Fraser in Paris says. Journalists at the bilateral press conference had been ...

A cleaning woman at a museum in Dortmund who mistook a Martin Kippenberger sculpture for an unsightly mess has destroyed the valuable artwork beyond recognition. The cleaner at the city's Ostwall Museum went to work on the Kippenberger installation entitled "When It Starts Dripping From the Ceiling" which was valued by insurers at €800,000 ($1.1 million), a museum spokeswoman said on Thursday. The late contemporary master had created a tower of wooden slats under which a rubber trough was placed with a thin beige layer of paint representing dried rain water. Taking it for an actual stain, the cleaner scrubbed the surface until it gleamed. "It is now impossible to ...
Nails on chalkboard noise mystery solved

A team of German and Austrian scientists say they’ve identified why the sound of fingernails on a chalkboard is so annoying. It’s a combination of the shape of the ear canal and the power of suggestion. The researchers, Michael Öhler of the Macromedia University for Media and Communication in Cologne and Christoph Reuter from the University of Vienna, first picked out two sounds they determined were the most annoying to people: scratching fingernails on a chalkboard and squealing chalk on a slate. They then played the sounds to a group of volunteers, half of whom were told their real origin and the other half who believed they came from contemporary music. The researchers ...

Rolando Arafiles Jr, MD, today pled guilty to criminal charges in a state court in Winkler County, Texas, for retaliating against 2 nurses who had anonymously reported him in 2009 to the Texas Medical Board (TMB) over the quality of his patient care.

Once they were identified as the whistle-blowers by a county investigation that Dr. Arafiles instigated, the nurses were charged with misuse of official information, which is a third-degree felony, and fired. ...

BEIJING, Nov. 7 (Xinhua) -- Xiao Yan and her sisters walked more than 300 km from Xi'an to Yan'an, then a Communist stronghold in northwestern Shaanxi province. Xiao didn't expect she would become one of the first radio-broadcasters of the Communist Party of China (CPC). After two years of study in the city of Yan'an, Xiao became an announcer for Xinhua Radio Broadcast Station in 1941. China was at war with the Japanese, and the Nationalists, or Kuomintang (KMT), had blocked the supply and communication lines to and from Communist-controlled areas. Communist newspapers and magazines could not reach Japanese- or KMT-controlled areas. So the CPC Central Committee set up a ...

WASHINGTON — The Iranian government has mastered the critical steps needed to build a nuclear weapon after receiving assistance from foreign scientists, The Washington Post reported. Citing unnamed Western diplomats and nuclear experts familiar with new intelligence to be released to the United Nations, the newspaper said a former Soviet weapons scientist had allegedly tutored Iranians on building high-precision detonators of the kind used to trigger a nuclear chain reaction. Crucial technology linked to experts in Pakistan and North Korea also helped propel Iran to the threshold of nuclear capability, the report said. An intelligence update will be circulated among International ...

But Bergeron was able to say that a ...

For nearly a century, Americans have been springing forward and falling back, and this year will be no different. Come Sunday morning, we'll all be snuggled soundly in bed when the clock falls back an hour. Daylight saving time is the seasonal surprise that borrows an hour from our circadian rhythm in the spring and gives it back in the fall. (This year, you'll need to adjust your clocks on Sunday, Nov. 6.) But whether or not we should disrupt the rhythm at all has spurred passionate debate from many disparate groups. Quick Poll How do you feel about daylight saving time? I love it! The extra daylight in the summer is great. It's an acceptable nuisance — I understand why ...
