AFP, Fri Oct 24, 12:18 pm ET MOSCOW (AFP) – Polar bears are dying out in the remote Arctic region of Chukotka because of melting ice and increased killing by humans, an expert with the International Fund for Animal Welfare warned on Friday. "If this tendency continues, the population will disappear very quickly, said Nikita Ovsyanikov, a researcher from Wrangel Island natural park in Chukotka who has spent the past 18 years studying polar bears in the region. "We need to create new protected areas in the Arctic," said Ovsyanikov, who has conducted research on behalf of IFAW. The shrinking of the Arctic ice sheet is forcing more bears to live on land in the summer where they often have trouble finding food, which means they have to go into villages to scavenge and are more likely to be shot, he said. Polar bear furs are also becoming increasingly popular in Russia, where the killing of polar bears is strictly forbidden except for self-defence. IFAW estimates around 100 po

The Huffington Post, Rachel Weiner, October 24, 2008 01:59 PM Charles Fried, a professor at Harvard Law School, has long been one of the most important conservative thinkers in the United States. Under President Reagan, he served, with great distinction, as Solicitor General of the United States. Since then, he has been prominently associated with several Republican leaders and candidates, most recently John McCain, for whom he expressed his enthusiastic support in January. This week, Fried announced that he has voted for Obama-Biden by absentee ballot. In his letter to Trevor Potter, the General Counsel to the McCain-Palin campaign, he asked that his name be removed from the several campaign-related committees on which he serves. In that letter, he said that chief among the reasons for his decision "is the choice of Sarah Palin at a time of deep national crisis."

by Samantha Philips on 23/10/08 at 3:54pm Aside from pimples, blackheads are another form of unsightly ‘bumps’ on your skin. They usually appear on the side of the nose, which are caused by excess oils. Personally, the solution that I have for this skin problem is to use one of those acne cleansing strips which are readily available in drugstores. Aside from this, you should have a strict skin care regimen to prevent not just blackheads but also pimples to appear on your skin. You should cleanse, tone and moisturize your skin before going to bed. Wash your face with medicated soap and lukewarm water so that the oiliness can be reduced. If you do not like using the pore cleansing strips, you can use a pore cleansing cream or facial wash so that blackheads can be prevented. Using a deep cleansing mask regularly also helps keep your pores from grease. Lastly, use a good moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated after using a cleansing product. By following these tips and using products whic

By John Whitesides, Political Correspondent John Whitesides, Political Correspondent – Wed Oct 22, 7:52 am ET Reuters.com WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Democrat Barack Obama has expanded his national lead over Republican John McCain in the presidential race to 10 points, according to a Reuters/C-SPAN/Zogby poll released on Wednesday. Obama leads McCain 52 percent to 42 percent among likely U.S. voters in the latest three-day tracking poll, up from an 8-point advantage for Obama on Tuesday. The telephone poll has a margin of error of 2.9 percentage points. It was the third consecutive day Obama gained ground on McCain as the two begin the final sprint to the November 4 election. "Obama just keeps growing, he has expanded his lead among almost every major voting group," said pollster John Zogby. "McCain seems to be out of steam for the moment." The 10-point lead was the first time Obama's advantage over McCain, an Arizona senator, reached double-digits in the poll. Oba

by Erin Flaherty, Shine staff, on Mon Oct 13, 2008 3:59pm PDT First dates are stressful, period. You don't want to lie or stretch the truth per se, but you also don't want to send your date running off to hail a cab before you've even ordered the cheese plate. Basically, the goals of a successful first date are to reveal that adorable, endearing part of yourself, learn more about the stranger sitting across from you, and to see if there is any connection between you two crazy kids. Obviously, it's important to be honest, but some of the more intimate parts of you are well, sorta personal, and no one's forcing you to spill all the beans. (Besides, everybody is intrigued by a little mystery and you want to save something for the second and third dates, right?) We don't really believe there are any hard and fast rules when it comes to dating, and despite what movies would have you think, there is no such thing as the "perfect date," so take these with a g

By Sean Elder WebMD Feature Reviewed by Sheldon Marks, MD, MD Sexual foreplay means more sex. And that’s something any guy can get into Dates that end with lovemaking often begin with dining out, so that the meal itself can be seen as a form of sexual foreplay -- in more ways than one. How many times has this happened to you: You take your woman out to dinner at a nice restaurant. The waiter takes your drink orders and tells you of the specials, a busboy brings you a choice of savory breads, and you get down to the business of perusing the menu. Your eye is on the right side of the page -- steak? lobster? steak and lobster? -- when your date announces, “I think I’ll just have a salad and a couple of appetizers.” At this juncture you might say something like, “Are you crazy? You’ll be starving later!” But she insists she knows her appetite and enough of those little things make, for her, a full and satisfying meal. So it is with sexual foreplay. A lot of men don’t think they’ve had sex

By: Think Simple Now 10/22/08, 9:53 PM Our name is one of those hard-wired words in our subconscious (like “free”) that has the intrinsic trigger to get our attention. You are more likely to react and respond to the sound of your name than say the word “apple.” The ability to remember people’s names is an incredibly useful skill in business and social interactions. Do you remember how impressed or surprised you were the last time someone remembered your name? I still get impressed, and I tend to remember these people in an especially warm and friendly light. I often fall victim to the embarrassment of not remembering names of people who approach me with, “Hi Tina, how are you?” I would panic, thinking, “Oh crap! What’s her name again?” So in order to help myself remember names, I have developed the following techniques. I’ve used each one extensively and they have proven to be effective in my experience. 1. Trust Yourself Many of us believe that we are horrible at names and we are very

By: David Neubauer, M.D. Posted Fri, Oct 17, 2008, 1:23 pm PDT Generally, it has been assumed that the need for sleep does not decrease with age, but rather that other factors gradually come to interfere with our ability to sleep through the night. Older individuals, for instance, are at greater risk not only for developing medical and psychiatric disorders but also for taking medications that can disrupt sleep. In spite of these influences, however, it may be that an actual biological deterioration of the sleep drive might also be playing a role. A new study published in the journal Current Biology has been able to shed some light on this puzzle of sleep and aging. The researchers, who wanted to determine the maximal sleep capacity of both young and older persons, arranged for groups of younger adults (ages 18 to 32 years) and older adults (ages 60 to 76 years) to lie in bed for 12 hours during the night and for another 4 hours in the afternoon. The subjects tended to sleep significan

By JOHN CLOUD John Cloud – Mon Oct 20, 6:35 pm ET Most adults know how many cups of coffee they can have before they get twitchy. We're a race of well-practiced, high-functioning junkies. After all, regular human consumption of caffeine began at least 2,000 years ago, and until recently there was no reason to think our little global addiction posed any threat. But recently companies began unleashing a barrage of unfamiliar products packed with extreme amounts of caffeine. The trend started with super-caffeinated energy drinks in the '90s, but more recently scientists and marketers have created caffeinated foods and even personal-hygiene products. In the past five years, according to the market research giant Mintel, firms have launched at least 126 caffeinated food products for sale in the U.S. Twenty-nine such products have been introduced this year alone. The offerings include things like Morning Spark oatmeal, NRG potato chips and - my favorite, if only for the brazen atte

By Us MagazineOctober 21, 2008, 2:37 pm PDT Britney Spears' driving-without-a-license charges have been dismissed following news that prosecutors decided not to request a retrial. Earlier Tuesday, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge James A. Steele declared the case a mistrial. After five votes and eight hours of deliberation, the jury of eight men and four women failed to agree on whether the singer, 26, was guilty of driving without a valid driver's license, a misdemeanor. "There were a lot of deliberations," jury foreman, Gary Moy, told Usmagazine.com Tuesday. "I think a lot of people had their minds set from the beginning." Moy told Us he and one other woman voted guilty. "It's an 80 percent victory," said Spears' attorney, Michael Flanagan. He also said a misdemeanor trial "should have never happened" and that Spears was prosecuted "because she is a celebrity." A prosecutor did not immediately indicate whether Spears w

By Adam Voiland Adam Voiland – Mon Oct 20, 5:31 pm ET Two nutrition experts argue that you can't take marketing campaigns at face value With America's obesity problem among kids reaching crisis proportions, even junk food makers have started to claim they want to steer children toward more healthful choices. In a study released earlier this year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that about 32 percent of children were overweight but not obese, 16 percent were obese, and 11 percent were extremely obese. Food giant PepsiCo, for example, points out on its website that "we can play an important role in helping kids lead healthier lives by offering healthy product choices in schools." The company highlights what it considers its healthier products within various food categories through a "Smart Spot" marketing campaign that features green symbols on packaging. PepsiCo's inclusive criteria--explained here--award spots to foods of dubiou

By MICHAEL A. LINDENBERGER Michael A. Lindenberger – Tue Oct 21, 3:45 pm ET Two weeks to go, and already the fight over the constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage in California is the costliest campaign about a social issue in U.S. history. Spending by both sides has topped $50 million, and the figure is growing. Most of those dollars have poured in since May, when the California Supreme Court turned what had been a slow-moving ballot initiative into a white-hot controversy by issuing the most sweeping declaration of fundamental gay rights to be found in U.S. law. Not only must gays be allowed to marry, the Republican-dominated court said, but it also flatly outlawed nearly any kind of discrimination against them. The ruling struck down a 2000 statewide vote that had made gay marriage illegal (but not unconstitutional), and touched off a backlash among California conservatives. They put more than a million signatures together to force a Nov. 4 vote that, if successful, would un

By JILL LAWLESS, Associated Press Writer Jill Lawless, Associated Press Writer – Thu Oct 16, 3:46 pm ET LONDON – Millvina Dean was only 2 months old when she was wrapped in a sack and lowered into a lifeboat from the doomed Titanic. Now 96, the last survivor of the tragic sinking is selling mementos of the disaster to help pay her nursing home fees. Rescued from the bitterly cold Atlantic on that April 1912 night, Dean, her 2-year-old brother and her mother were taken to New York with nothing but the clothes on their backs. Before returning home to England, they were given a small wicker suitcase of donated clothing, a gift from New Yorkers to help them rebuild their lives. Now, Dean is selling the suitcase and other Titanic mementos to help pay her nursing home fees. They are expected to go for $5,200 at an auction of Titanic memorabilia Saturday in Devizes in western England. Among the items are rare prints of the Titanic and letters from the Titanic Relief Fund offering her mother

By Nicole Yorio from Redbook Photo: Forest Woodward/iStock Updated: Oct 15, 2008 What makes men cheat? Marriage counselor M. Gary Neuman dug through past research on male infidelity and found that most answers came from the wife's point of view. "Wouldn't it make more sense to ask the guys?" he thought. So for his new book, "The Truth About Cheating," Neuman surveyed 200 cheating and noncheating husbands to get at the real reasons behind men's infidelity -- including what cheating men say could have prevented them from straying. Here, some of his findings: 48% of men rated emotional dissatisfaction as the primary reason they cheated. So much for the myth that for men, cheating is all about physical intimacy: Only 8 percent of men said that physical dissatisfaction was the main factor in their infidelity. "Our culture tells us that all men need to be happy is to have physical intimacy with someone," Neuman says. "But men are emotionally dri

Bob McClellan Rivals.com College Basketball Editor 10/15/08 4:45 PM Michael Beasley made Kansas State basketball relevant for the first time in more than a decade last season, and his presence put a few extra dollars in the pocket of the man responsible for luring him to Manhattan, Kan. That would be Wildcats assistant Dalonte Hill, Beasley's former AAU coach in the Washington, D.C., area. Hill, entering his sixth season as a college assistant, will make more money for the 2008-09 season than the entire three-man staffs at Ohio State, Washington State and Wisconsin and only $5,000 less than the staff at Texas, a survey done by Rivals.com shows. K-State released Hill's contract in May. The school paid him $400,000 in 2007-08, and it will pay him $420,000 a year – $150,000 in base salary and $270,000 in "additional compensation," defined as "television, radio, internet, promotional and other services" – for the next four years. He is entering his third year at

By Dating expert Diana Kirschner, Ph.D. Oct 9, 2008 3:06 PM It all started when you saw him or her looking at the cutie. And it went downhill from there. You may have made some jabbing accusations, started a yelling match, sulked, or generally made your partner pay. You felt justified, righteous. Worried, self-doubting, and sure that your partner was in the wrong. What you really wanted was reassurance and love -- the glorious unconditional kind. Sometimes you got it. Sometimes you didn't. Most all of us have had a few incidents like this. And there are those of us who have had more than a few. Jealousy is a form of negative self-talk which research shows can cause anxiety and depression. We all know it can lead to painful heartbreak, scads of worry, out-of-control outbursts, and setbacks in a relationship. It can even destroy love. But is it possible that jealousy can ever be a good thing? Making jealousy work for you Let's take a look at some ways that moderate spurts of jeal

By: Allie Firestone, 10/15/08 3:03 PM Fall is chock-full of scents, and that’s one of the reasons I love it. Picking up on the huge variety of smells—whether it’s pumpkin pie, freshly-baked cookies, or spiced apple cider—is something I recently realized that I take for granted. Scientists say that humans can distinguish over 10,000 different odor molecules. Turns out, while it doesn’t require any conscious thought, our ability to pick up on a scent involves a sensitive and complex function that has powerful effects on our memory and behavior. How else can I explain how one whiff of pumpkin immediately conjures up thoughts of trick-or-treating and holiday gatherings? Scientists dedicated to tracking the complex relationship between smells, our behavior, and our moods have found that certain scents trigger feelings, including those that help us relax and fall asleep and those that perk us up and keep us alert and focused. Sleep and Relaxation Looks like I’m not the only one tossing and t
