Adhd And Boys' Puberty

Adhd And Boys' Puberty, The widely used attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) medication methylphenidate -- best known as Ritalin -- appears to be tied to delayed puberty in male monkeys.
But, researchers cautioned that the finding needs to be replicated before parents should concern themselves about similar effects in boys.
Male primates given methylphenidate over a 40-month span experienced "impaired testicular descent" and smaller-sized testicles, as well as lower testosterone levels, all of which resolved over the course of the study.
"To our knowledge, it's the first observation in primates to suggest an alteration in testicular function," said study author Dr. Donald Mattison, a medical officer at the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, part of the U.S. National Institutes of Health.

World's Amazing Pedestrian Bridges

World's Most Spectacular Pedestrian Bridges

Stroll the 1.3-mile Hudson River Walkway in Poughkeepsie, NY—taking in the exhilarating view of water, treetops, and sky—and you could almost forget that we live in a world designed for the automobile. Here, the environment belongs not to those who roar by at 70 mph, but to pedestrians like you.
The concept of pedestrian bridges isn't new—Venice's Rialto Bridge dates back to 1588, and even the Brooklyn Bridge architects made room for walkways alongside the car lanes. But just recently, since around the turn of the millennium, we've rediscovered the notion that regular people are important enough to deserve some spectacular feats of engineering.
Sure, these pedestrian bridges make a big impression with sweeping views and innovative features like solar-powered LED lighting or the ability to levitate and roll upwards into a wheel. But above all, they reward us for traveling, whether on foot or two wheels, with our own muscle power.

Why online Star Wars game is ending

It was never as popular as World of Warcraft, but Star Wars Galaxies had something that the king of MMORPGs didn't: The Force.
Galaxies used the power of the Star Wars brand for eight years, an eternity in the games space. Unfortunately, those days are almost at an end. In December, the game will suffer the same fate as Princess Leia's home planet of Alderaan. It will be terminated.
Now before you start writing an angry letter to George Lucas, remember that this sort of thing happens all the time. Eventually, even the most beloved online games go to that great arcade in the sky. Such is the fate of Galaxies. The game, which launched in 2003, has seen its share of success and problems (many of them technical). Some might argue that it never fully lived up to its considerable potential, but the game drew millions of satisfied players.

Please don't blame the messenger. The folks at Wellcat, a rich source of off-beat holidays has declared June 22 as Stupid Guy Thing Day.
"Women are always talking about [it], so here's a day to commemorate it," according to Wellcat. Apparently aren't aware of a guy's ability to celebrate his own stupid moves.
These stupid guy things are even celebrated in pop culture. It may have started with Bill and Ted or Wayne and Garth, with the bar being lowered even further by "Jackass" (the TV show and movies) and even "Destroy Build Destroy."
The Wellcat folks encourage women to make a list of "stupid guy things" and pass it on. Just don't post the list on Facebook where you could offend your boyfriend, husband, father, brother or male boss.
V-Mail Delivery Anniversary
You've got v-mail! Not voice mail, not virtual mail, but victory mail. On June 22, 1942, the first v-mail was sent from New York. Letters were written on special paper and then censored and reproduced onto microfilm, for overseas delivery.
"V-mail microfilm are made on a continuous enlarger at the Pentagon building, Washington, D.C. V-mail is available to and from the armed forces stationed outside the United States. It is only 1/65th the weight of ordinary mail and saves ninety-eight percent of the cargo space required for ordinary letters. 1,600 letters can be placed on a roll of film little larger than a pack of cigarettes," according to the Library of Congress.
National Chocolate Eclair Day
The eclair is a decadent pastry like no other. Cream puffs have a similar pastry, but a lighter filling. The eclair is a choux pastry, which creates a hollow center when baked. The interior is filled with a vanilla pudding-like substance and a thick layer of chocolate coats the top of the top.
Like the cupcake, the mini eclair has been making the rounds as a popular finger food dessert. Good luck finding one on a plate at a party if you passed them by the first time. If you're feeling ambitious, tempt your taste buds with these non-traditional homemade chocolate eclairs.

Cameron Diaz Popcorn

With Cameron Diaz on his show to promote "Bad Teacher" on Monday night, Dave took the opportunity to ask about the much talked about moment when cameras caught the movie star feeding Alex Rodriguez a handful of popcorn during last February's Super Bowl. A playful Diaz, who earlier said it was OK to call the New York Yankees star her boyfriend ("I do," she said), obliged Letterman with an "exclusive" telling of the moment and then took part in a funny bit when the comedian pulled out an oversized tub of popcorn and handed it over with implied instructions. Great stuff.

"We were watching the game and I was eating and I was getting down to the last couple of pieces of popcorn and all of a sudden I see a hand coming in… and I'm like… [at this point she pantomimes pulling away a tub of popcorn]. Anybody who knows me doesn't put their hand in my food, especially when it's close to my mouth. And I said, 'What are you? It's mine.' And then I went, 'I love you too much, I'm going to give it to you, you deserve it." And it was the only piece of popcorn that I even put near his face and they happened to have the camera on right when I did it.

"Ten minutes later, we're blowing up on our Blackberries ... We started laughing so hard, 'We're like, are you kidding me?' But let me tell you something. We had more fun with that."

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan pregnant

(AFP) – Former Miss World turned actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is pregnant, her father-in-law and veteran Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan has revealed.

"NEWS NEWS NEWS !! I AM GOING TO BECOME A GRANDFATHER .. AISHWARYA EXPECTING .. SO HAPPY AND THRILLED !!!," Bachchan wrote on his Twitter page late Tuesday.
Aishwarya Rai, 37, married Bachchan's actor son Abhishek, 35, in April 2007. The child will be their first and comes after weeks of speculation in Indian gossip columns about the actress' fluctuating weight.
Bachchan senior later said on the micro-blogging site that he was "overwhelmed" with the response to the news from followers and had received 2,843 tweets of congratulation in just half an hour.
Writing on his blog bigb.bigadda.com, he said: "There is joy and happiness around us."
There was no immediate indication when the baby was due.
The Bachchans -- Amitabh, his actress wife Jaya, Aishwarya and Abhishek -- are Bollywood's "first family" and have a fanatical following in India and around the world. His daughter, Shweta Nanda, has two children.
The family patriarch said he was particularly pleased with the news because "now cometh the progeny of my son that shall bear the surname Bachchan - the first in this generation...".
The family boycotted the annual Filmfare magazine awards in 2010 after a tabloid newspaper in Mumbai wrote that Rai could not have children, prompting a legal notice to be sent demanding a retraction and an apology.
Rai, who took the Miss World crown in 1994, made her debut in Hindi-language Bollywood in the late 1990s and has gone on to star in more than 40 Indian films.
Most recently she was in the blockbuster South Indian film "Endhiran" (Robot) alongside Tamil-language superstar Rajinikanth, which broke box office records in India.
She appeared as a jewel thief in Steve Martin's "The Pink Panther 2". Her other English-language films include "Bend It Like Beckham" director Gurinder Chadha's "Bride and Prejudice" in 2004 and "The Last Legion" in 2007.
She was recently seen at the Cannes film festival promoting her upcoming film "Heroine", which was due to begin shooting this year.
The chief executive of UTV Motion Pictures, Ronnie Screwvala, said at the time that Rai had star power.
"She is the brand ambassador for India and for Indian cinema when it comes to the French Riviera."
Rai also has a number of lucrative modelling contracts, including for French cosmetics firm L'Oreal.

Jon huntsman

Former Ambassador to China Jon Huntsman will formally announce his bid for the presidency next week at Liberty State Park in New Jersey, with the Statue of Liberty as the backdrop, a Republican source told CNN on Tuesday.

Huntsman was Utah's governor from 2005-2009 before President Barack Obama -- the man Huntsman will be vying to unseat -- appointed him to the top diplomatic post in Beijing. That service, as well as his break with GOP orthodoxy on issues like climate change and civil unions are likely to be fodder for his rivals in the Republican primaries.
He has scrambled to assemble a campaign since returning to the United States at the end of April, making appearances in the early primary states of New Hampshire and South Carolina in May. He has reportedly decided he would skip the Iowa caucuses, the first GOP presidential contest, because of his opposition to ethanol and farm subsidies -- two issues dear to Hawkeye State voters.

Famous Unsolved Cases

Famous Unsolved Cases- A few of the famous unsolved cold cases are still open, despite using new technology to catch the criminals. Throughout history there have been a few that go unsolved. Some of them are more than 100 years old and we’ll never know the truth on what happened.In 1982, seven people died in the Chicago area after taking Extra Strength Tylenol capsules. It is still one of the famous cases of the 20th century. The capsules were tampered with and laced with potassium cyanide.

The bottles, which were tampered with, came from many different factories, so blaming the contamination to one company was unsuccessful. Despite the new developments, the FBI told reporters that “no arrests have been made and no criminal charges filed,” this was after the case was reopened in January 2009.

Another case that continues to puzzle FBI agents is D.B. Cooper. He was a middle aged man who boarded Flight 305 from Portland to Seattle on Nov. 24, 1971. Shortly after takeoff, the man told the flight crew that he had a briefcase filled with dynamite. He demanded $200,000 and two parachutes or he would blow up the plane.

The plane landed in Seattle, he was given $200,000 and the air carrier took off again. Later, the same plane landed in Reno, Nevada, but Cooper was gone with the money and the exit door ajar. A boy found $5,800 along the banks of the Columbia River, which was a link to the famous case. However, it is still cold and detectives remain baffled.
