7 Medical Myths Even Doctors Believe
Myth: We use only 10 percent of our brains.
Fact: Physicians and comedians alike, including Jerry Seinfeld, love to cite this one. It's sometimes erroneously credited to Albert Einstein. But MRI scans, PET scans and other imaging studies show no dormant areas of the brain, and even viewing individual neurons or cells reveals no inactive areas, the new paper points out. Metabolic studies of how brain cells process chemicals show no nonfunctioning areas. The myth probably originated with self-improvement hucksters in the early 1900s who wanted to convince people that they had yet not reached their full potential, Carroll figures. It also doesn't jibe with the fact that our other organs run at full tilt.
Myth: You should drink at least eight glasses of water a day.
Fact: "There is no medical evidence to suggest that you need that much water," said Dr. Rachel Vreeman, a pediatrics research fellow at the university and co-author of the journal article. Vreeman thinks this myth can be traced back to a 1945 recommendation from the Nutrition Council that a person consume the equivalent of 8 glasses (64 ounces) of fluid a day. Over the years, "fluid" turned to water. But fruits and vegetables, plus coffee and other liquids, count.
Myth: Fingernails and hair grow after death.
Fact: Most physicians queried on this one initially thought it was true. Upon further reflection, they realized it's impossible. Here's what happens: "As the body's skin is drying out, soft tissue, especially skin, is retracting," Vreeman said. "The nails appear much more prominent as the skin dries out. The same is true, but less obvious, with hair. As the skin is shrinking back, the hair looks more prominent or sticks up a bit."
Myth: Shaved hair grows back faster, coarser and darker.
Fact: A 1928 clinical trial compared hair growth in shaved patches to growth in non-shaved patches. The hair which replaced the shaved hair was no darker or thicker, and did not grow in faster. More recent studies have confirmed that one. Here's the deal: When hair first comes in after being shaved, it grows with a blunt edge on top, Carroll and Vreeman explain. Over time, the blunt edge gets worn so it may seem thicker than it actually is. Hair that's just emerging can be darker too, because it hasn't been bleached by the sun.
Myth: Reading in dim light ruins your eyesight.
Fact: The researchers found no evidence that reading in dim light causes permanent eye damage. It can cause eye strain and temporarily decreased acuity, which subsides after rest.
Myth: Eating turkey makes you drowsy.
Fact: Even Carroll and Vreeman believed this one until they researched it. The thing is, a chemical in turkey called tryptophan is known to cause drowsiness. But turkey doesn't contain any more of it than does chicken or beef. This myth is fueled by the fact that turkey is often eaten with a colossal holiday meal, often accompanied by alcohol — both things that will make you sleepy.
Myth: Mobile phones are dangerous in hospitals.
Fact: There are no known cases of death related to this one. Cases of less-serious interference with hospital devices seem to be largely anecdotal, the researchers found. In one real study, mobile phones were found to interfere with 4 percent of devices, but only when the phone was within 3 feet of the device. A more recent study, this year, found no interference in 300 tests in 75 treatment rooms. To the contrary, when doctors use mobile phones, the improved communication means they make fewer mistakes.
The Bermuda Triangle
During the past century more than 50 ships and 20 aircraft sailed into oblivion in the area known as the Devil's Triangle, Bermuda Triangle, Hoodoo Sea, or a host of other names.
Exactly what happened to the ships and aircraft is not known. Most disappeared without a trace. Few distress calls and little, if any, debris signaled their disappearance.
Size of the triangle is dictated by whoever happens to be writing about it, and consequently what ships and the number lost depends largely on which article you read.
Vincent Gaddis, credited with putting the triangle "on the map" in a 1964 Argosy feature, described the triangle as extending from Florida to Bermuda, southwest to Puerto Rico and back to Florida through the Bahamas. Another author puts the apexes of the triangle somewhere in Virginia, on the western coast of Bermuda and around Cuba, Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico. Sizes of the areas described ranged from 500,000 to 1.5 million square miles.
Whatever the size or shape, there supposedly is some inexplicable force within it that causes ships and planes to vanish.
According to Richard Winer, who recently completed a TV film documentary on the area, one "expert" he interviewed claims the missing ships and planes are still there, only in a different dimension as a result of a magnetic phenomenon that could have been set up by a UFO (Unidentified Flying Object).
Winer is currently writing a book on the subject and has traveled most of the area in his sailboat. He confesses he "never saw anything unusual."
Winer's TV program dealt mostly with the strange disappearance in 1945 of five Navy TBM Avengers with 14 fliers who flew from Ft. Lauderdale into the triangle never to return. A PBM Mariner with a 13-man crew was sent out to search for the fliers. It too, never returned.
Few have really dug into all the aspects of this mystery, but many are content to attribute the loss of Flight 19 to some mysterious source, like UFOs. Michael McDonnel did do some digging. In an article he wrote for the June 1973 edition of Naval Aviation News, he suggested the most realistic answer to the loss of Flight 19 was simple, that after becoming lost, they ran out of gas. Many question that possibility by asking, "How could such experienced pilots get lost? How could all the compasses be wrong?"
If the planes were flying through a magnetic storm, all compasses could possibly malfunction. Actually, man's knowledge of magnetism is limited. We know how to live with it and escape it by going into space, but, we really don't know what exactly it is.
As for the pilots' experience, Flight 19 was a training flight. Though advanced, it was still training. Even the most "experienced" pilots make mistakes.
McDonnel concludes his article with the statement, "Former TBM pilots that we questioned express the opinion that the crew of an Avenger attempting to ditch at night in a heavy sea would almost certainly not survive the crash. And this, we feel was the case with Flight 19. The aircraft most probably broke up on impact and those crewmen who might have survived the crash would not have lasted long in cool water."
The PBM Mariner was specifically designed as a rescue plane with the ability to remain aloft for 24 hours. But the Mariners
were nicknamed "flying gas tanks" by those who flew them. It was common for a pilot to search the crew members before each flight for matches or cigarette lighters because gas fumes often were present. After this Mariner disappeared, the Navy soon grounded all others.
Another mysterious disappearance that baffles researchers is that of the SS Marine Sulphur Queen. Bound for Norfolk, Va. from Beaumont, Texas, the tanker was last heard from on Feb. 3, 1963, when she routinely radioed her position. The message placed her near Key West in the Florida Straits.
Three days later, Coast Guard searchers found a solitary life jacket bobbing in a calm sea 40 miles southwest of the tanker's last known position. Another sign of the missing tanker or her 39-man crew has ever been found.
The absence of bodies might be explained by the fact that the waters are infested with sharks and barracuda. As for the tanker, she was carrying 15,000 long tons of molten sulphur contained in four metal tanks, each heated to 275 degrees Fahrenheit by a network of coils connected to two boilers.
No one knows for sure whether she blew up, but it is a possibility. If gas escaped from the tanks and poisoned the crew, the radio officer may have not had time to send a distress call before being overcome. The slightest spark could have set the leaking sulphur afire in an instant.
Writing in the Seamen's Church Institute of New York's magazine, The Lookout, Paul Brock said that officers on a Honduras flag banana boat "reported to the Coast Guard that their freighter ran into a 'strong odor' 15 miles off Cape San Antonia, the western tip of Cuba, just before dawn on February 3. The odor was acrid.'"
Brock speculates that they could have smelled the fumes coming from the Sulphur Queen "floating somewhere over the horizon, her crew dead and her cargo blazing."
According to Brock, T-2 tankers like the Sulphur Queen had a history of battle failure. He said that "during the preceding years, three T-2s had split in half." Brock also cites a case in December 1954 when a converted Navy LST, the Southern District, was heading up the North Carolina coastline when she disappeared without a trace or distress call. Her cargo was powdered sulphur.
One of the most celebrated stories of Devil's Triangle victims, is that of USSCyclops which disappeared in March of 1918.
In his television program, Richard Winer indicated the captain of the Cyclops was rather eccentric. He was reputedly fond of pacing the quarterdeck wearing a hat, a cane and his underwear. Prior to the Cyclops disappearance there was a minor mutiny by some members of the crew which was promptly squelched by the captain and the perpetrators were sent below in irons. None of this really offers a clue to what happened to the collier Cyclops, but it suggests something other than a mysterious force might have led to her doom.
According to Marshall Smith writing in Cosmopolitan, September 1973, "theories ranged from mutiny at sea to a boiler explosion which carried away the radio shack and prevented any distress call." One magazine, Literary Digest, speculated that a giant octopus rose from the sea, entwined the ship with its tentacles and dragged it to the bottom. Another theory was that the shipped suddenly turned turtle in a freak storm, trapping all hands inside.
Fifty years later, novelist Paul Gallico used the idea as the peg for a novel called The Poseidon Adventure which was made into a successful movie in 1972.
Cyclops was assigned to the Naval Overseas Transportation Service, which became the Naval Transportation, which merged with the Army Transport Service to become the Military Sea Transportation Service and then Military Sealift Command. When she sailed she was loaded with 10,800 tons of manganese ore bound for Baltimore from Barbados in the West Indies.
Information obtained from Germany following World War I disproved the notion that enemy U-boats or mines sank the Cyclops. None were in the area.
Another story concerns the loss of the nuclear submarine USS Scorpion in the Devil's Triangle. It is impossible to stretch even the farthest flung region of the triangle to include the position of the lost sub.
Truth is, Scorpion was found by the MSC oceanographic ship USNS Mizar about 400 miles southwest of the Azores, nowhere near the Devil's Triangle. Its loss was attributed to mechanical failure, not some demonic denizen of the deep.
There are literally thousands of cases of lost ships ever since primitive man dug a canoe out of the trunk of a tree and set it in the water. Why all this emphasis on the Devil's Triangle? It's difficult to say.
It would seem that, historically, whenever man was unable to explain the nature of the world around him, the problems he faced were said to be caused by gods, demons, monsters and more recently, extra-terrestrial invaders.
Before Columbus set sail and found the Americas, it was believed that the world was flat and if you sailed too far west, you would fall off the edge. That reasoning prevails concerning the Devil's Triangle. Since not enough scientific research has been done to explain the phenomenon associated with the area, imagination takes over. UFOs, mystical rays from the sun to the lost Continent of Atlantis, giant sea monsters and supernatural beings are linked to the mysterious disappearances in the triangle.
To someone unprepared to take on the immense work of scientific research, supernatural phenomenon make for an easy answer. But, it is amazing how many supernatural things become natural when scientifically investigated.
There are a number of natural forces at work in the area known as the Devil's Triangle, any of which could, if the conditions were right, bring down a plane or sink a ship.
Many reputable scientists refuse to talk to anyone concerning the Devil's Triangle simply because they do not want their good names and reputations associated with notions they consider ridiculous.
One expert on ocean currents at Yale University, who asked not to be identified, exploded into laughter at the mention of the triangle and said, "We confidently, and without any hesitation, often go to sea and work in that area." Another scientist refused to talk about it.
Atmospheric aberrations are common to jet age travelers. Few have flown without experiencing a phenomenon known as clear air turbulence. An aircraft can be flying smoothly on a beautifully clear day and suddenly hit an air pocket or hole in the sky and drop 200 to 300 feet.
Lt. Cmdr. Peter Quinton, meteorologist and satellite liaison officer with the Fleet Weather Service at Suitland, Md., said, "You can come up with hundreds of possibilities and elaborate on all of them and then come up with hundreds more to dispute the original ones."
"It's all statistical," he said, "there's nothing magical about it." According to Quinton, the Bermuda Triangle is notorious for unpredictable weather. The only things necessary for a storm to become a violent hurricane are speed, fetch (the area the wind blows over) and time. If the area is large enough, a thunderstorm can whip into a hurricane of tremendous intensity. But hurricanes can usually be spotted by meteorologists using satellite surveillance. It is the small, violent thunderstorms known as meso-meteorological storms that they can't predict since they are outside of normal weather patterns. These are tornadoes, thunderstorms and immature tropical cyclones.
They can occur at sea with little warning, and dissipate completely before they reach the shore. It is highly possible that a ship or plane can sail into what is considered a mild thunderstorm and suddenly face a meso-meteorological storm of incredible intensity.
Satellites sometimes cannot detect tropical storms if they are too small in diameter, or if they occur while the satellite is not over the area. There is a 12-hour gap between the time the satellite passes over a specific part of the globe until it passes again. During these 12 hours, any number of brief, violent storms could occur.
Quinton said, "Thunderstorms can also generate severe electrical storms sufficient to foul up communication systems." Speaking of meso-meteorological storms, which she dubbed "neutercanes," Dr. Joanne Simpson, a prominent meteorologist at the University of Miami, said in the Cosmopolitan article that "These small hybrid type storm systems arise very quickly, especially over the Gulf Stream. They are several miles in diameter, last a few minutes or a few seconds and then vanish. But they stir up giant waves and you have chaotic seas coming from all directions. These storms can be devastating."
An experienced sailor herself, Dr. Simpson said on occasion she has been "peppered by staccato bolts of lightning and smelled- the metallic odor of spent electricity as they hit the water, then frightened by ball lightning running off the yards." Sailors have been amazed for years by lightning storms and static electricity called "St. Elmo's Fire."
Aubrey Graves, writing in This Week magazine, August 4, 1964, quotes retired Coast Guard Capt. Roy Hutchins as saying, "Weather within the triangle where warm tropical breezes meet cold air masses from the arctic is notoriously unpredictable." "You can get a perfectly good weather pattern, as far as the big weather maps go, then go out there on what begins as a fine day and suddenly get hit by a 75-knot squall. They are localized and build up on the spot, but they are violent indeed."
Many boatmen, Hutchins said, lack understanding of the velocity of that "river within the ocean" (Gulf Stream) which at its axis surges north at four knots. "When it collides with strong northeast winds, extremely stiff seas build up, just as in an inlet when the tide is ebbing against an incoming sea."
"The seas out there can be just indescribable. The waves break and you get a vertical wall of water from 30 to 40 feet high coming down on you. Unless a boat can take complete submergence in a large, breaking sea, she can not live."
Last year, the Coast Guard answered 8,000 distress calls in the area, 700 a month or 23 a day. Most problems could have been avoided if caution had been used. The biggest trouble comes from small boats running out of gas. According to the Coast Guard, an inexperienced sailor is looking for trouble out there. A small boat could be sucked into the prop of a big tanker or swamped in a storm and never be seen again.
Another phenomenon common in the region is the waterspout. Simply a tornado at sea that pulls water from the ocean surface thousands of feet into the sky, the waterspout could "wreck almost anything" said Allen Hartwell, oceanographer with Normandeau Associates.
Hartwell explained that the undersea topography of the ocean floor in the area has some interesting characteristics. Most of the sea floor out in the Devil's Triangle is about 19,000 feet down and covered with deposition, a fine-grained sandy material. However, as you approach the East Coast of the United States, you suddenly run into the continental shelf with a water depth of 50 to 100 feet. Running north along the coast is the Gulf Stream which bisects the triangle carrying warm tropical water.
Near the southern tip of the triangle lies the Puerto Rico Trench which at one point is 27,500 feet below sea level. It's the deepest point in the Atlantic Ocean and probably holds many rotting and decaying hulks of Spanish treasure galleons.
Many articles concerning the triangle have made the erroneous statement that the Navy formed Project Magnet to survey the area and discover whether magnetic aberrations do limit communications with ships in distress, or contribute to the strange disappearance of ships and aircraft.
Truth is that Navy's Project Magnet has been surveying all over the world for more than 20 years, mapping the earth's magnetic fields. According to Henry P. Stockard, project director, "We have passed over the area hundreds of times and never noticed any unusual magnetic disturbances."
Also passing through the Devil's Triangle is the 80th meridian, a degree of longitude which extends south from Hudson Bay through Pittsburgh then out into the Triangle a few miles east of Miami. Known as the agonic line, it is one of two places in the world where true north and magnetic north are in perfect alignment and compass variation is unnecessary. An experienced navigator could sail off course several degrees and lead himself hundreds of miles away from his original destination.
This same line extends over the North Pole to the other side of the globe bisecting a portion of the Pacific Ocean east of Japan.
This is another part of the world where mysterious disappearances take place and has been dubbed the "Devil Sea" by Philippine and Japanese seamen. Noted for tsunami, the area is considered dangerous by Japanese shipping authorities. Tsunami, often erroneously called tidal waves, are huge waves created by underground earthquakes. These seismic waves have very long wave lengths and travel at velocities of 400 miles per hour or more. In the open sea they may be only a foot high. But as they approach the continental shelf, their speed is reduced and their height increases dramatically. Low islands may be completely submerged by them. So too may ships sailing near the coast or above the continental shelf.
Quite a bit of seismic activity occurs off the northern shoreline of Puerto Rico. Seismic shocks recorded between 1961 and 1969 had a depth of focus ranging from zero to 70 kilometers down. Relatively shallow seaquakes could create tsunamis similar to those in the Pacific Ocean, but few have been recorded.
A distinct line of shallow seaquake activity runs through the mid-Atlantic corresponding with the features of the continental shelf of the Americas.
Some claim we know more about outer space than we do about inner space, including the oceans. If that is true, much information has yet to be developed concerning the Devil's Triangle. As recently as 1957 a deep counter-current was detected beneath the Gulf Stream with the aid of sub-surface floats emitting acoustic signals. The Gulf Stream and other currents have proved to consist of numerous disconnected filaments moving in complex patterns.
What it all adds up to is that the majority of the supernatural happenings offered as explanations for the Devil's Triangle mysteries amount to a voluminous mass of sheer hokum, extrapolated to the nth degree.
Mysteries associated with the sea are plentiful in the history of mankind. The triangle area happens to be one of the most heavily traveled regions in the world and the greater the number of ships or planes, the greater the odds that something will happen to some.
Each holiday season the National Safety Council warns motorists by predicting how many will die on the nation's highways. They are usually quite accurate, but, no monsters kill people on highways, only mistakes.
Seafarers and aircraft pilots also make mistakes. Eventually scientists will separate fact from the fiction concerning the Devil's Triangle. Until then, we can only grin and bear the ministrations of madness offered by triangle cultists.
If you happen to be passing through the triangle while reading this article, don't bother to station extra watches to keep a wary eye out for giant squids. Better to relax and mull over the words of poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow:

Austin, TX (Texas Tribune) — Texas high school students will soon take fewer standardized exams. Governor Rick Perry Monday signed House Bill 5 into law, ending weeks of speculation that he might veto the high-profile education legislation because of concerns that it would weaken high school graduation standards.
It reduces the number of standardized tests students take each year from 15 to 5. According to the Texas Tribune, both Perry and Texas Education Commissioner Michael Williams had opposed the bill initially.
Starting with the 2014-15 school year, high school students will take a foundation curriculum of four English credits; three credits each in science, social studies and math; two foreign language credits; one fine arts and one P.E. credit; and five elective credits. Students would add a fourth science and math credit when they select one of five diploma "endorsements" in areas including science and technology, business and industry, and the humanities.
The current standards, which have been in place since 2006, require four years each science, English, social studies and math for all students.

With the support of the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Norwegian Radiation Protection Authority has developed projects on a bilateral basis with the aim of assisting the regulatory bodies in Central Asian countries identify gaps in the regulatory framework and draft relevant regulatory requirements to ensure the protection of personnel, the public and the environment during the planning and conducting of remedial action with regard to past practices and measures for radioactive waste management.
National Report from Norway to the IAEA International Conference on the Safety and Security of Radioactive Sources: Maintaining the Continuous Global Control of Sources throughout their Life Cycle, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, 27–31 October 2013.
The availability of up to date regulatory norms and standards for nuclear and radiation safety, relevant to the management of nuclear legacy situations, combined with effective and efficient regulatory procedures for licensing and monitoring compliance, are considered to be extremely important. Accordingly the NRPA has set up regulatory cooperation programs with corresponding authorities in the Russian Federation. Cooperation began with the civilian regulatory authorities and was more recently extended to include the military authority and this joint cooperation supposed to develop the regulatory documents to improve supervision over nuclear and radiation safety while managing the nuclear military legacy facilities in Northwest Russia and other regions of the country.
In 2010, samples of sea water, sediment, and
biota were collected in the Barents Sea, the
North Sea, the Skagerrak and at a number of
coastal stations and fjords. Data on
radioactivity levels and trends in these areas
are summarised in this report.
The report describes different hypothetical accident scenarios at the Leningrad nuclear power plant for both RBMK and VVER-1200 reactors. The estimated release is combined with different meteorological scenarios to predict possible fallout of radioactive substances in Norway.
This report summarises some of the key findings from the activity of filling knowledge gaps in radiation protection methodologies for non-human biota, the GAPRAD project.
This report describes work carried out within the cooperation programme between the Norwegian Radiation Protection Authority and the Directorate of State Supervision for Nuclear and Radiation Safety of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation performed in 2008-2009. It focuses on development of improved regulatory documents and supervision procedures for handling spent nuclear fuel and radioactive waste at facilities that are no longer used by the Russian Federation Navy but that are still under military supervision and control.
Rapporten inneholder nasjonal rapport fra Norge til det fjerde tilsynsmøtet til Felleskonvensjonen om sikker håndtering av brukt brensel og sikker håndtering av radioaktivt avfall som blir avholdt 14. -23. mai 2012.
This report describes work carried out in 2008–2009 under the NRPA – Federal Medical-Biological Agency regulatory support program. It focuses on development of improved regulatory documents and supervision of remediation activities due to be carried out at Andreyev Bay, Saida Bay and Gremikha in Northwest Russia. The work program for 2010–2011 is also introduced.
Denne rapporten er basert på trusselvurderinger som har blitt utført i de sentralasiatiske landene, og beskriver de eksisterende regelverksproblemene i områder med atomarv og hvilke regelverk som bør utvikles innen prosjektets rammeverk.

Spotlight on UTIs in Children
Typical Treatment
If it turns out that a child has a urinary tract infection, antibiotics is the usual treatment. Dosage and duration depends on the severity of the infection. While most infections are cleared up with a week or so of the child beginning the medicine, some children with repeated UTIs remain on low-dose antibiotics for up to a year at a time as a preventative measure. Infections of the kidney can cause permanent internal scarring and threaten the life of a child, so doctors want to make absolutely sure that they keep recurring infections from taking hold.

McArdle syndrome
McArdle syndrome is the inability to break down glycogen. Glycogen is an important source of energy that is stored in muscle tissue.
Alternative Names
Glycogen storage disease type V (GSDV); Myophosphorylase deficiency; Muscle glycogen phosphorylase deficiency; PGYM deficiency
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
McArdle syndrome is caused by a defect in a gene that makes an enzyme called glycogen phosphorylase. As a result, the body cannot break down glycogen in the muscles.
The disease is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder. This means that you must get a copy of the nonworking gene from both parents. A person who gets a nonworking gene from only one parent usually does not develop this syndrome. A family history of McArdle syndrome increases the risk.
The disease usually starts when a person is in their 20s or 30s, but there is a very rare form that begins in infants.
- Burgundy-colored urine (myoglobinuria)
- Fatigue
- Exercise intolerance, poor stamina
- Muscle cramps
- Muscle pain
- Muscle stiffness
- Muscle weakness
Signs and tests
The following tests may be performed:
- Electromyography (EMG)
- Genetic testing
- Lactic acid in blood
- Muscle biopsy
- Myoglobin in urine
- Plasma ammonia
- Serum creatine kinase
There is no specific treatment, but you can manage the symptoms by improving exercise tolerance and controlling physical activity. Avoid excessive or intense exercise.
Dietary management should include having a supply of glucose (candy, for example) on hand if you need to replace energy.
Avoid general anesthesia.
Support Groups
For additional information and resources, visit the Association for Glycogen Storage Disease at www.agsdus.org.
Expectations (prognosis)
People with McArdle syndrome can live a normal life by managing their physical activity.
Exercise may produce muscle pain, or even a breakdown of skeletal muscle (rhabdomyolysis). This condition is associated with burgundy-colored urine and a risk for kidney failure, if it is severe.
Calling your health care provider
Contact your health care provider if you have repeated episodes of sore or cramped muscles after exercise, especially if you also have burgundy or pink urine.
Consider genetic counseling if you have a family history of McArdle disease.

[Warning: This article contains major spoilers about the Season 2 finale of The Following. Read at your own risk!]
Is it time to unfollow The Following? After a promising start, Kevin Williamson's serial killer drama felt unfocused, repetitive and overindulgent for much of its sophomore season.
On Monday's finale, Ryan Hardy (Kevin Bacon) and Joe Carroll (James Purefoy) came face to face (again), but this time they ended up working towards a common goal.read more
It's fitting that the season premiere of Fox's The Following was titled "Resurrection," because that's been the theme this season. First, the presumed-dead Joe Carroll (James Purefoy) was revealed to be alive, and last week, we learned that Joe's wife Claire (Natalie Zea), who appeared to have been fatally stabbed in the Season 1 finale, has actually been hiding out in witness protection.
Monday's episode of The Following finds Ryan (Kevin Bacon), Mike (Shawn Ashmore) and Max (Jessica Stroup) working desperately to find out who in the FBI has been leaking information to Joe Carroll (James Purefoy).

Though The Following's second season doesn't officially get underway until Monday, Jan. 27, Fox will air a special preview episode after the NFC championship game on Sunday, which will catch viewers up on what's happened in the year since the (allegedly) fatal showdown between Ryan Hardy (Kevin Bacon) and Joe Carroll (James Purefoy).
Kevin Bacon and James Purefoy are back as television's grisliest odd couple — and we can hardly mask our excitement. "It gets a little more demented," promises executive producer Kevin Williamson of The Following's unsettling second act for Bacon's former FBI agent Ryan Hardy and the erudite literature professor—turned—cult leader Joe Carroll, played with cheeky relish by Purefoy. Just don't expect The Following to hew to the same cops-and-psychos course it ran during its first season. It's still a scare-fest that excels at getting under your skin, but "we're changing the feel and the texture of the show," Williamson says. "We want to make sure that you're not watching the same old thing." (The second season premieres Sunday, Jan. 19 after the NFC Championship game on Fox, then moves to its regular timeslot, Mondays at 9/8c, on Jan. 27.)
When The Following returns for its second season (Monday, Jan. 27, 9/8c on Fox), a quick scene establishes the fate of Claire (Natalie Zea), and then the show jumps ahead a year to show us a very different Ryan Hardy (Kevin Bacon). Although the tortured FBI consultant has pieced himself back together after the apparent death of Joe Carroll (James Purefoy), not all is right with the world. Obviously...

Featured: @thiswildidea's Portrait of America
Name: Theron Humphrey, @thiswildidea
Bio: Meeting folks, loving folks, living the dream.
Website: thiswildidea.com
Location: USA
Theron Humphrey is traveling across the United States on a quest to meet 1 new person a day, every day, for 365 days. His goal is to create a huge portrait of America, visiting all 50 states, driving 40,000 miles, meeting and photographing folks daily for one year. Want to be part of the project? You can change Theron's route by signing up at thiswildidea.com — you may even get to meet his amazing balancing coonhound Maddie!
One morning I woke up and realized how amazing it would be to hear my mom's voice before she had me, or to hear my great-grandparents' voices. To see them living their everyday. I've always admired folks who've traveled the country and photographed America. A lot have done it. And done it better than me. But something that was missing for me were folks' names. I wanted to know that the photographers loved their subjects, that they shook people's hands and told 'em that they matter. So This Wild Idea is me getting out there and doing that: living my dream.
What I found out there is that everyone has a story, even if they don't think so. Most folks want to be heard; they just want someone to listen. And after 200+ days of using my camera every single day, I found you can make a compelling photograph anywhere, even if it's raining and you don't want to get out of bed. Every story is worth telling! Life is beautiful when you become interested in grandmothers planting heirloom seeds in their backyards.
The photos of my coonhound Maddie evolved organically, like a lot of good things in life do. Maddie is a lighthearted pause to my daily life. I love meeting new folks and hearing their stories, but some days it feels draining. I always have to be on. But Maddie is easy to photograph — she's always there! For close to 7 months, we've spent every day together. It's become a way for me to breathe from my daily life, to do something funny, then snap some photos inspired by Wegman, Eggleston, and the Bechers -– folks I always loved.

Italian Merino V-Neck Sweater 4 4
Never Again XXL size was far too small, smaller than an XL from LL Bean January 31, 2014
beautiful wool, terrible sizing I saw the merino wool sweater in the catalog and thought it was just what I was looking for. When it came, I was delighted with the color and quality of the wool...until I put it on. My size is a perfect xl but I ordered a xxl because I knew sweaters tend to run small. But this was ridiculous. The sleeves and overall length were WAY too short and the general fit was skimpy. Find a new knitter!! October 2, 2013
lnice shade of blue light weight, nice color, dressy look! would order in another color. January 20, 2014
Order a size up Based on the previous review, I ordered an XXL for my 6 ft. 220 husband and it fits perfectly. I love it. He likes the Syrah color too. December 7, 2013

AP Sports Writer
LANDOVER, Md. (AP) -- With Adam Snyder starting for inactive left guard Mike Iupati, the 49ers are using a juggled offensive line for the first time since the 2011 season.
San Francisco used the same five starting offensive linemen for the previous 29 games.
Iupati is out Monday night against the Redskins after spraining a ligament in his left knee a week ago. It's the only start he's missed since entering the NFL in 2010.
The 49ers' defense is without cornerback Tarell Brown, inactive with a rib injury.
Redskins fullback Darrel Young is inactive because of a hamstring injury, and defensive lineman Stephen Bowen is out with a hurt left knee. Starting tight end Jordan Reed is out with a concussion, so Fred Davis is active for the first time since Washington's fifth game.

Confederate veterans mourn comrade
Texas Confederate veterans gather in Stockdale for the funeral of their old comrade, Medley McGee, in 1911.

Texas aligned itself with the Confederate States of America during the "War Between the States," perhaps better known now as the American Civil War, fought from 1861-65.
Texans who fought and survived returned home to rebuild their lives. Many old comrades reunited in the years after, often for sad occasions, including mourning the passing of their brothers-in-arms.
The Confederate veterans in this photo, taken in 1911, gathered in Stockdale for the funeral of their old comrade, Medley McGee, who died March 1, 1911. Veterans include (standing, from left) Henry Smith, W.S. Palm, James Sutton, J.J. Grissom, W.R. Park, (seated) R. Bishop, H.B. Edmiston, L.S. McCoy, and J.P. Cornelison.
Local historian Shirley Grammer sent this photo by e-mail, from a scanned copy of the original, owned by Jo Salter. It appeared in a Wilson County history book published in the early 1990s.
Sesquicentennial Committee members are LaJuana Newnam-Leus, 830-393-2166; Shirley and John Grammer, 830-947-3176; Maurine Liles, 830-393-4959; and Gene Maeckel, 830-484-2536.
The Sesquicentennial Committee is organizing celebrations to mark the 150th anniversary of the founding of Wilson County. Anyone interested in helping with one of the celebration committees is invited to contact one of these individuals.

Sorry to disagree with you. This was not a civil war, or a war between states. The war was between two nations. The U.S. even acknowledged this right after the war. I refer to this war as the war for Southern Independence to form a new nation that of the Confederate States of America.

Published February 12, 2011 08:06
MEMPHIS, TN, USA - For Georgia's Melanie Oudin, the Cellular South Cup is as close as it gets to home ground advantage on the WTA tour, and as one of nine Americans who made the direct entry cut, the 19-year-old will be doubly keen to make the most of her No.3 seeding at the International event.
This weeks's top seed, though, is the Czech Republic's Barbora Zahlavova Strycova, who has enjoyed much of her best success in doubles - she won her eleventh WTA title at Sydney last month with Iveta Benesova - but has impressed in singles of late as well.
Currently ranked No.56, Zahlavova Strycova held match points against her Top 20 compatriot Petra Kvitova in Paris last week, after a solid third round showing at the Australian Open. She's never won a singles title on the tour, but reached the final at Prague last year and seems to be ready for a breakthrough.
On the opposite side of the draw stands Sweden's Sofia Arvidsson, Memphis champion in 2006, runner-up to Maria Sharapova 12 months ago, and back as the No.2 seed. She faces a tough opener against talented American youngster Alison Riske, who is just one of 15 players making their main draw debuts here this week.
Russia's Alla Kudryavtseva is seeded fourth, ahead of 2008 champion Olga Govortsova at No.5 and surging Canadian talent Rebecca Marino at No.6. Ranked No.84 this week, Marino is seeded at a WTA event for the first time. Another Czech, Renata Voracova, is seeded No.7, with reigning Wimbledon and US Open doubles champion Vania King rounding things out at No.8.
Wildcards have been awarded to American Beatrice Capra, who shone at the US Open last year; 16-year-old Catherine Harrison, also of the US; and Ajla Tomljanovic of Croatia. Coco Vandeweghe, Christina McHale and Julie Ditty can also expect plenty of local support, while one of the trickier opening round clashes sees former Canadian No.1 Aleksandra Wozniak tackle former British No.1 Anne Keothavong.
Zahlavova Strycova and Voracova are the top seeds in the doubles.

Staff Favorites 2011: Garnett's picks
Without question, Shadows of the Damned supplied me one of the most entertaining rides of the year. Garcia "F'n" Hotspur's sexual innuendo-filled demon slaying trek through hell to save his girlfriend is a love-it or hate-it affair. I loved it. Sure, it's not without its flaws--not the least of which are boss fights which serve as example to the challenge of pulling them off well in a first person shooter. But even they reflect the hell-on-a-hallucinogenic-trip atmosphere so well that it's hard to be too put off by them. There's more than just a façade here too. The game uses its light versus dangerous darkness mechanic well, mixing up more than just the basic dispel the shadows trick. Top it off with Yamaoka's soundtrack that fits things to a "T" whether it's a heavy metal jam or flamenco guitar, and I promise one thing, Shadows of the Damned will leave a strong impression.
As an evolutionary step from its predecessor, Forza 4 never stood much chance of competing for Game of the Year. It wasn't for lack of effort, though. The game shines as a technical showpiece with a stunning level of detail up close, richer environments than ever before, well integrated car club and online community features, and still the best feel for tires gripping pavement in a console driving game. Now, maybe with the next one the developers can step up the AI to where I can run some great races with their toy. Until then I'm sure to be still playing it every time I get the itch blast around a few hot laps. And I'll be doing those every so often with the wireless wheel. It's no substitute for a proper cockpit and wheel but damned if it doesn't do a nice job at letting me feel like I'm carving a corner when I hit it right.
It's basically accepted that sports games (and for that matter racing games as with Forza) don't get considered for Game of the Year. If ever one deserved a real shot at it, it's FIFA 12. Where other EA Sports games often leave me feeling that they were built around the idea of updating last year's model, everything about FIFA 12 tells me that a whole other level of effort went into its creation. While the new tactical defending system has met with some objection, it fundamentally brings with it a more authentic pace of play. It's precision dribbling, though, that really shines. With its ability to control the intricate footwork I see real players pull off, coupled with the impressive physics engine, FIFA 12 captures the sport of soccer better than any videogame has ever captured its respective sport (I'll accept NHL 12 as a rival but it's not my jam). I love my NFL, but when it comes to videogame football, there's no comparison. FIFA 12 is one for the ages.
Lord of the Rings: War in the North
To this day I cannot imagine how Lord of the Rings: War in the North released one week before Skyrim. It never stood a chance, and that's criminal. Developer Snowblind created two of my favorite console action RPGs of all time, Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance and Champions of Norrath. War in the North supplies the same satisfying loot collection and character development, brings it in much closer with a beautiful new game engine, and does it in the rich fantasy world of Tolkein's Lord of the Rings. Oh, and it gets all the better played co-op. Even accounting for skepticism about a Lord of the Rings game, War in the North deserved much better.
"You forgot..." Let us stop you there! This week we're revealing the Shacknews 'Staff Favorites,' which are titles that didn't quite make our 'Best of 2011' list. This week we'll also be revealing our Honorable Mentions, games that almost made our 'Top Five of the Year' (those are coming next week). If you see a game on this list, it means no amount of arguing, hair-pulling, or crying was enough to get it to be featured on our overall 'Best of' list. Let's agree to disagree! Despite that, these were great games in another stellar year of gaming.

I bought 'Blackberry Curve 3G' after due research and comparisons. Though the vendor I chose (Flipkart) was a very good decision, however the phone is not perfect.
I would say I am not disappointed by the phone however for the ones who are reading this review; the decision will hang on the balance between your needs and what is offered.
1. The processor is good. Hence the phone is fast. May have to do with Airtel BB connection I have.
2. QWERTY keypad and the keys are good. The functions on the keys are exhaustive.
3. The Data card is sufficient.
4. I like the interface. Is... (Expand)
Positive Things:
1. Excellent speed which never deteriorate over period of time like all other nonBB phones.
2. Querty keypad is built-wise excellent and user friendly compared to all other Querty phones
3. I am serving without BIS BES plan in just Rs99@month with RIM GSM so don't bother that costly BIS is must.Now those days r over. Without BIS BES also u can enjoy all apps like pushmail, gtalk, facebook, youtube,googlemaps and everything
4. Best phone for calls - Features like conferencing, enhancing voice clarity r excellent.
Negative Points :
1. PC software is worst one I have seen in... (Expand)
Got this phone after a lot of deliberation and looking at Android/Apple phones in the same range. Went for the Blackberry for two main reasons:
1. Hate a touch screen to type on
2. Have no real need for games, since I own an Ipod Touch.
I've used the phone for about a month now, and I am enjoying the keypad. That being said, typing on the iPod (and iPhone) is actually quicker than BB, but an iPhone is waaay out of budget for me. All in all, I'm happy with my buy.
You should be warned though, there is a lot of compatibility issues for apps on the Blackberry AppWorld. Apps are relea... (Expand)
Many people now uses one or the other smart phone but do they utilize the maximum apps out of it.No,they don't.Why many people prefer classic cars and bikes to the sporty and flashy ones? Ans is simple they don't go out of date.It is not about BB cult or limited specs of BB but BB is one of its type which provides a fully spaced QWERTY with classy looks.Morever recent wikileaks survey shows touchscreens are more prone to hackers because virtual keyboard itself is a software.Its like More money More tension.So no more apps and classic is the Best.NEILAV KONWAR
HI every one I am from chennai .BB is good but if problem comes on your phone blackberry service center wont take responsibility.again you have to call flip kart than they will give new service center no that is because flipkart take take blackberry from Redington pvt ltd. so i suggest you if before buying please insure about service center........

Must say this phone is really a master part of the pack from Blackberry, almost all features is available in this phone which we use in day to day life ..

WEDNESDAY, Feb. 16 (HealthDay News) -- U.S. officials on
Wednesday released the annual state-of-the-nation's health report
and the news is mixed, with life expectancy rates on the rise but
obesity levels still climbing.
On the positive side, life expectancy was up slightly in 2007,
to 77.9 years from 76.8 years at the beginning of the decade.
And while women are still ahead of the game, gender and race
gaps in longevity have narrowed, according to the report, compiled
by the National Center for Health Statistics, part of the U.S.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
"It's encouraging that life expectancy continues to increase, although at a very small pace, but as we're living longer we're living longer with disease," said Dr. Patrick Remington, associate dean for public health at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health in Madison. "Years added to your life expectancy are years with disease."
Perhaps even more troubling, said experts, are climbing obesity
rates, with two-thirds of adults now overweight or obese, up from
29.9 percent a decade ago. While obesity rates among 2- to
5-year-olds seem to be leveling off, rates among older children and
teens are still increasing, the report showed.
"The overall trend for childhood obesity is upward, which is not a good sign for future obesity, diabetes, heart disease and cancer," said Cheryl L. Perry, dean of the University of Texas School of Public Health Austin Regional Campus, part of the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston. "There may be some hope for the younger children, but it's probably too soon to declare victory, since the 6- to 11-year-old rates also declined, but then increased substantially in the next wave."
Other risk factors for chronic illnesses, including heart
disease, aren't looking too good, either.
"Obesity, diabetes and hypertension are really critical in terms of looking at the future health status of the U.S., and that news has not been good for a long time and it doesn't look like it's improving," said Dr. Nancy Bennett, director of the University of Rochester Medical Center's Center for Community Health.
Heart disease and cancer remain the two leading killers,
collectively accounting for nearly half of the 2.5 million deaths
in the United States in 2007, 25 percent and 23 percent,
Among the report's findings:

How we're restoring the Colorado River
EDF is pioneering ways to keep this river flowing in the era of climate change
Climate change, drought and growing populations are taking their toll on Western rivers and watersheds. That's why we're working with farmers, cities and other environmental groups to develop market solutions and other incentives that conserve water and preserve rivers.
In a historic moment many years in the making, the Colorado River finally flowed to the sea during a planned "pulse flow." Nature sprang back to life, and communities rejoiced at the possibilities. In the interactive Bringing the River Back to the Sea, read how we and our partners worked for the pulse flow, and our plans and hopes for the future of this vital Western river.
Our current strategies
Finding flexible solutionsEDF experts like Jennifer Pitt are transforming the way water is used in the Colorado River Basin by pushing for flexible systems like water banking instead of the outdated "use it or lose it" method. We're also introducing new ways to restore habitat in this region that benefits both wildlife and landowners.
Forging ties with MexicoOnce called the American Nile, the Colorado River now peters out long before it reaches the sea at the Gulf of California. EDF has worked to change that by helping to forge an historic agreement between the U.S. and Mexico that re-establishes, on a pilot basis, a modest flow of water in the Colorado River delta, a first step toward the recovery of an ecosystem vital to wildlife and people.

Intel has developed a technology that enables a Notebook computer to almost instantaneously startup. Notebooks lacking the technology called Robson, take many more seconds to boot up. According to Intel the speedy up time is accomplished through the use of NAND flash memory. Instead of booting up via the hard drive and going through the timely process of spinning a disc, the computer simply accesses the flash memory. In addition to a speedier load and start time, you also get better battery life because there is no spinning hard drive disc.
In tests the Robson adorned computer opened Adobe Reader in 0.4 seconds, while a notebook without the Robson technology, and same specs, took 5.4 seconds.

Every student on the GIW program participates in an internship that lasts at least 12 weeks. The internship is Monday- Thursday, approximately 32 hours a week, but much of the learning from the internship takes place through the activities of an internship seminar that all students take once a week. Students look for an internship using WUSTL in D.C.'s Program Director and Grinnell College's Career Development Office as resources. Science students in particular might also find their faculty to be helpful sources of recommendations, based on a student's interests. See the GIW Student Handbook for a more detailed description.
See "GIW Events" for some different upcoming events that will help prepare you for the internship search.
The possibilities for internships are endless! A selection of the internships that previous GIW students have had are listed below.
- Children's Defense Fund
- Democratic National Committee
- Economic Strategy Institute
- Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
- National Association of Child Advocates
- National Wildlife Federation
- Public Defender's Office
- Rails to Trails Conservancy
- USB (United Bank of Switzerland) PaineWebber
- World Resources Institute
