			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Facebook has been hit now for two days in  a row by a phishing scam.  Facebook monitors their network for URL&#8217;s that are  distributed in mass to users and relies on users to inform them of these scams.   In the newest scam, after receiving a message from a friend to &#8220;check this out&#8221;  users are directed to a page that asks them to log into Facebook a second time.   When the user id and password are entered into the page, the information is  stolen.  Each member in the user&#8217;s friends list then receives the same message.   Facebook officials are unsure if the two scams are related.</p>
<p>Official believe  that both scams have been stopped by measures that they have already taken.  It  is important for members to realize that once signed in they are not usually  asked to sign in again.  Users should check the URL of the sign in page to be  sure that it says <a href="http://www.facebook.com/" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">www.facebook.com</span></a>.   If it does not, do not give your information out.  Passwords of accounts used to  spread spam have been reset.  Officials say that Facebook is working diligently  to protect the social network.  If you think you have been infected you should  change your password.  When the same password is used on other sites, it should  also be changed as a safety precaution.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the most common of all types of  cancers is skin cancer.  In fact, there are over one million cases reported each  year.  Skin cancer occurs in three types.  Basil cell skin and squamous cell  carcinomas are not likely to cause death but can cause disfigurement and should  be treated as soon as possible.  Carcinomas are most often found in the parts of  the body most often exposed to the sun, such as the face, head, neck and arms.   People who have spent the most amount of time in the sun are the most likely to  have these types of cancers.</p>
<p>Those with fair completion, freckles and moles are  also more prone to carcinomas.  Melanomas are more dangerous types of skin  cancers.  When not detected, they can metastasize and spread to other parts of  the body.  Melanoma, when spread is more difficult to treat and can be fatal.   In order to avoid all types of skin cancers, everyone should use a high SPF  sunscreen wear hats and clothing that covers the skin.  Sunscreen should block  both UVA and UVB rays from the sun.  Sunshades should be worn at all times when  in the sun to protect the eyes from cataracts.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Apparently, men do not consider the  things off of their diet or that are not healthy activities as &#8220;guilty  pleasures.&#8221;  They just think of them as pleasurable.  The idea of participating  in something that would make a woman feel guilt usually is scoffed at by men.   They do not feel guilt; they embrace and enjoy those types of things.  If they  over indulge, they may feel a bit of physical discomfort but never a twinge of  guilt.  Men may acknowledge that they have a vice of some sort, but will fall  short of calling it a &#8220;guilty pleasure.&#8221; Men also do not understand why women  will not only feel guilt about something, but will go to great lengths to  conceal their sin, too.</p>
<p>The author of this article will admit to  enjoying several things that most men may not include on their own list of  pleasures.  His not-so-guilty pleasures are eating quiche, soaking in a long,  hot bubble bath and viewing reality television programs that involve women  showing themselves at their most shallow moments.  More women should follow the  advice of enjoying themselves and leaving out the guilt.  It has worked for men  for ages.  At least, women should get better at their hiding skills.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Mexican government&#8217;s health secretary  has released statements telling the citizens that the worst is over and that the  spread of the swine flu is definitely in decline. While a hopeful outlook is  good, other governments or researchers are not agreeing with that cheerful  thought. Gregory Hartl held a news conference Sunday saying that his department  for pandemice and epidemic diseases at the WHO, has quite a contrary outlook at  this period of the swine flu.  Reminding everyone that the outbreak of the  illness is less than two weeks old.  And while it could very well be in a phase  of decline at present, that does not mean that it will not return.  Hartl asked  all to look back at the year 1918, when the Spanish flu was in full swing.  He  stated that in the spring of that year the flu seemed to slow and almost stop in  its spread.  However, it returned in the fall with a fury and killed almost  fifty million people by the time it stopped.</p>
<p>The current situation is completely  unpredictable and it seems a bit early for anyone to declare that the swine flu  is getting under control.  With the number of confirmed cases nearing nine  hundred and more expected in the days to come, it is far from over.  Still, the  one thing that everyone seems to agree upon is that panic is not the answer.   Regular flu season precautions are all we have at present.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The manufacturer of Hydroxy cut products  has voluntarily recalled the product and the FDA has advised that persons stop  taking the dietary suppliment immediately.  The cause for the recall is that  several persons using the product as directed have developed liver damage.   Signs of liver damage include brown urine, stomach pain, nausia, and vomiting.   Hydroxycut is sold as a suplement.  The FDA can take action against companies  producing supliments once it is on the market.  For the past two years,  manufacturers must report any adverse side effects to the FDA within 15 days of  learning ot them.  Hydroxycut is believed to have caused the death of one young  man.  The FDA is still trying to determine what causes the liver damage in some  but not all persons who use the product.</p>
<p>The task is made more difficult since  the supplement contains sever herbal elements.   The leading trade association  for nutritional suppliments, The Council for Responsible Nutrition, has said the  both the FDA and manufacturer of Hydorxycut have taken appropiate measures in  the recall and wanring to stop taking the product.  Once the ingrediant that  causes the liver damage has been identified, the manufacturer may choose to  begin selling the product after reformulating it so that the offencing  ingredient is no longer included.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Twenty-two seniors who have completed  every requirement for graduation will not be allowed to walk across the main  stage at their graduation ceremonies at Slippery Rock University.  These  students are not missing out on their graduation ceremony because of any  discipline problem and in actuality will have a small private ceremony that  includes only the twenty-two students, family, friends and university  officials.  Video of the smaller ceremony will be shown at the main graduation.   Why can these students attend their main graduation ceremony?</p>
<p>They have spent  most of the last month teaching in Mexico and the fears of their exposure to  swine flu, (now being called H1N1) will keep them from the rest of the party.   The group left Mexico ahead of schedule because of fear of the border closing  that would make them miss the ceremonies.  Hundreds of people have called the  University in Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania to inquire about the students being at  the graduation ceremonies.  Other schools have canceled graduation ceremonies  and high school proms.  Others will continue with ceremonies without the  traditional handshake from the dean of the student&#8217;s school.  Even athletic  teams have been banned from traveling to other schools to participate in  sporting events.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In an effort to &#8220;pay them back for their  service&#8221;, astronauts Bob Crippen and Scott Carpenter recently visited a Florida  island rescue sanctuary for chimpanzees.  While some of the chimps in the  sanctuary were involved in the space program or are their descendants, many  others have been involved in medical research.  Until this sanctuary was  developed, many such research chimps have lived their lives out in cages after  serving the purpose of researchers.  Before coming to the sanctuary, one chimp,  Gromek, who had been used in blood studies, had been in his cage for over 40  years without ever leaving.</p>
<p>Other space chimps living at the compound include  Gogi, Dana, and Lil&#8217; Mini, daughter of the back up chimp, Mini.  The sanctuary  allows the chimps to live in social groups of about twenty-five.  Because they  cannot swim, water around the islands keeps them contained.  The so called  &#8220;space chimps&#8221; were sent into space in the Mercury space program of 1950&#8217;s and  1960&#8217;s to see if sending men into space was safe.  At the time, there were fears  that man could not outside of the earth&#8217;s atmosphere.  The work of the chimps  allowed the space program to continue.  There are currently about 150 chimps at  the compound and room for 300.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On May 4, 2007, an event occurred that  could have turned Greensburg, Kansas into a ghost town.  Instead, it is turning  this rural town into a Greentown.  Eleven people were killed in a tornado that  also destroyed most homes and businesses in the town.   Citizens not only lost  their homes, but many lost everything they owned.  Now, two years later  Greensburg is going green. Homes being rebuilt will make the most of solar and  wind energy.  The first new home is built entirely of concrete in the shape of a  silo.  Not only is it expected to be 70% more energy efficient than a standard  home, the reinforced concrete may also withstand the next tornado to hit this  town.</p>
<p>It has already withstood the contractor dropping a junked Ford from 60  feet above the home onto its roof.  The Escort was dropped 2 times and there was  no damage to the home.  The car bounced off the roof into the yard.  Even the  John Deere dealer in the farming community has gotten into the act.  His new  green building, while costing more to construct, will save an estimated $25,000  per year in heating and cooling costs.  In addition, the dealer has found a new  sideline product, wind generators.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It seems that due the economy everything  is being downsized.  Looking around at autos and computers, you will see smaller  is the new better.  There is one industry that is taking a different view on  that idea, though.  Some fashion lines are making the smart move to expand,  rather than downsize, their products.</p>
<p>Both Forever 21 and Target, known as  &#8220;cheap chic emporiums,&#8221; will be launching fashion lines exclusively targeted at  plus-size teenagers.  Coming in the spring, the lines will let girls of all  sizes have choices in apparel, that before were only available to those under  the plus size categorization.</p>
<p>Faith 21, by Forever 21, will add sizes  extra large to double extra large to the teen&#8217;s choices.  Target has named their  new addition Pure Energy.  It will have sizes up to size thirty.</p>
<p>Already shoppers are expressing  excitement over the upcoming changes.  They are looking forward to the chance at  going to one place to shop with their friends that will have choices for all.   They also believe that this change is way overdue.  The statistics seem to be in  their favor.  Most designers offer nothing over a size ten, although the average  woman in the United States is a size fourteen.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Edo Berger heard an alarm Thursday  morning as a satellite sensed a ten second energy blast called a &#8220;gamma ray  burst&#8221; originating from space. Once the alert was recorded, telescopes the world  over pointed towards the blast and soon became aware of infrared radiation. Then  Berger got ready to see the light which should have come next. It didn&#8217;t  come.</p>
<p>Berger said, in a phone interview, &#8220;We  were kind of blown away. We immediately knew what that meant,&#8221;</p>
<p>It means that he found the oldest thing  that has been seen so far &#8212; a gigantic star blowing up thirteen billion years  ago. He calculates that at the time the star exploded, the universe was a mere  six hundred million years old.  He went on to explain that in simpler terms.   What he saw on that early morning was a glimpse of about ninety-five percent  back into the beginning of all time as we know it.</p>
<p>Berger, who is an astronomy assistant  professor at Harvard University, said the when the star, known now as GRB  090423, blew up it emitted a million times more energy than our sun will  throughout it&#8217;s entire existence.  To the nearest approximation, the star was  between thirty to one hundred times bigger than the sun at the time it  exploded.</p>
<p>Its gamma radiation was sensed by the  NASA satellite, Swift. Hawaii&#8217;s Gemini Observatory detected its infrared  radiation.</p>
