//////////////////Scientists to link virus to obesity fight
Jan 26 2009 By Emily Cook
ONE in three fat people could have "caught" obesity in much the same way as they might catch a cold, scientists will claim tonight.
The highly infectious cold-like virus, which causes coughs and sore throats, also attacks tissue and causes fat cells to multiply - leading to massive weight gain.
Spread by coughs, sneezes and dirty hands, the airborne virus may also cause stomach upsets and conjunctivitis.
Previous studies have shown that chickens and mice infected with AD-36 put on weight more quickly than uninfected animals - even when they don't eat any more food.
Studies show that almost a third of obese adults carry the virus, compared with 11 per cent of lean men and women.
Professor Nikhil Dhurandhar, who led the research, says AD-36 continues to add weight gain long after those infected recover from the more obvious symptoms it causes.
Dr Dhurandhar will make the claims on BBC2's Horizon.

//////////////////Smart Pills
by Nicholas Carr
In response to the flood of prescription brain stimulants like Ritalin and Adderall on college campuses, a group of academics from Stanford, Harvard, Cambridge, Penn, and other schools say the time has come to allow such drugs to be prescribed to healthy people for “cognitive enhancement.”
/////////////////////LONGFELLOW=Christmas Bells
I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet
The words repeat
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
And thought how, as the day had come,
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along
The unbroken song
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
Till, ringing, singing on its way,
The world revolved from night to day,
A voice, a chime
A chant sublime
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
Then from each black accursed mouth
The cannon thundered in the South,
And with the sound
The carols drowned
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
It was as if an earthquake rent
The hearth-stones of a continent,
And made forlorn
The households born
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
And in despair I bowed my head;
“There is no peace on earth,” I said;
“For hate is strong,
And mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!”
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
“God is not dead; nor doth he sleep!
The Wrong shall fail,
The Right prevail,
With peace on earth, good-will to men!”
///////////////////Misprision (noun)
Pronunciation: [mis-'pri-zhên]
Definition: (1) Malfeasance or misconduct, especially in a public office; (2) failure to report or prevent a crime, as misprision of treason; (3) miscomprehension, mistaking something for something else or underestimating it.
Usage: Very few words carry warning labels but today's word indicates what you can expect if you carry out the activity it refers to: prison. In sense (3) above, this noun is related to the verb misprize "to mistake, misperceive, underestimate; to despise, scorn."
Suggested Usage: Today's word has been used in so many ways, it is difficult to sort them all out. Keep in mind the two meanings most widely used. The first relates to misconduct in public office: "It was difficult for Les Cheatham to comprehend why giving the building contract to his brother-in-law was seen as misprision by those in the school district." The second meaning is to mistake one thing for another or to underestimate it, "Cheatham's misprision of the school district's dissatisfaction with this behavior allowed him to repeat his error, which led to his downfall."

//////////////////And then you happily proceed to NOT use any of those features ever again after the first time you try them. This shows you that you didn’t really buy the gadget for those features. You bought it because you had a rush of emotions and you really WANTED that gadget at the store. And when someone points out you made a silly decision there, you rationalize with all the features to show you actually made a GOOD decision. So there’s your first reason why we humans rationalize:
We rationalize to protect our ego.

/////////////////////Improve Balance, Relieve Childhood Anxiety
by Rick Nauert, Ph.D.
Many of the 40 million American adults who suffer from anxiety disorders also have problems with balance.
As increasing numbers of children are diagnosed with anxiety, researchers have discovered that the link between balance and anxiety can be assessed at an early age and that something can be done about it before it becomes a problem.
