According to a new scientific investigation, mothers and fathers distort the knowledge they pass on to their children considerably and systematically. And we're not talking about religious indoctrination here, which parents practice willingly, but about stretching the “truth†to extensive lengths. The paper reveals that, oftentimes, the adults come up with all sorts of methods to instill certain behaviors in their children, and invent things from mythical animals to peculiar consequences for certain actions. “We are surprised by how often parenting by lying takes place. Our findings showed that even the parents who most strongly promoted the importance of honesty with their children engaged in parenting by lying,†Kang Lee, who has been a researcher on the new study, says. The scientist holds an appointment at the University of Toronto, in Canada. It seems a bit ironic, psychologists say, that the individuals who want to make their children grow to be honest adult!

--------
Getting married in this economy is no walk in the park, it is often being said. Everything is expensive and, in order to see things turn out the way one wants them, one has to get started at least one year ahead. Lee and Colette Clark wanted to postpone their dream ceremony for the following year, when an eBay auction made it possible for them to have it for no more than £51, the Daily Mail informs. Lee proposed to Colette in April this year, but he soon found himself out of a job. Both decided to put off the wedding for next year in the hope that things would be better by that time and they could have the reception they dreamed of without compromising anything. Incidentally, they also found an auction on eBay for a wedding reception at the three-star Buckatree Hall hotel, near their home in Telford, Shropshire, which also included a complimentary overnight stay for the bride and groom. The reception was put up for auction due to a last-minute cancellation, the two lov!

During all of last week's Tokyo Game Show presentations, Microsoft's new motion controller Project Natal had the most outside representatives speak on its behalf.

First on the list was Project Natal's “infrared vision.†Xbox 360's motion-sensing technology camera picks up the full-body movements made by the player and reproduces them in-game.

The infrared field generated by the camera isn't limited to the player outline and will be cast over a large area.

Scientists at the University of California in Santa Barbara (UCSB) have recently managed to demonstrate that the quantum entanglement effect â€" one of the basic ones in quantum physics â€" can be observed at a large scale as well, and that it is not necessarily confined to the elementary-particle level. The team that detailed its finds in the September 24 issue of the journal Nature also shows that billions of electrons flowing in superconductor materials can collectively exhibit this property. “It’s an exciting piece of work. People are interested in pushing the boundaries of quantum mechanics,†Yale University physicist Steven Girvin says of the work.

Nanoscale sensors can be used for a wide variety of applications, in fields such as detecting dangerous molecules, or for sensing sounds in artificial ears. Their main drawback is the fact that they need to be integrated in larger devices, consisting of bulky power sources and integrated circuits, which considerably reduces their suitability for more uses. But that is all about to change, as researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) have recently demonstrated the first self-power nanosensor. The nanoscale device can function on its own, and needn't be attached to external power sources, or other equipment. It is made entirely out of freestanding zinc-oxide nanowires that have the ability to generate electrical potential when placed under stress.

Everyone roots for the underdog and with enough hype you start to believe that the little guy can really threaten the established players. But every so often you are reminded that most of the times size does matter and MySpace demonstrated this handily when it unveiled the two-way sync feature with Twitter last week. The feature allowed MySpace users to tweet out their status messages and vice-versa and, maybe not that surprisingly, the social network has now become the second largest source for short links on the microblogging site. Using data from Tweetmeme, TechCrunch found that MySpace's URL shortener, lnk.ms, rose up the ranks to become the second most popular shortener on Twitter with 17 percent of the entire links passed around originating from MySpace. Today it has dropped to almost 14 percent but still enough to maintain its second position. To put this into perspective, Bit.ly, the URL shortening service used by Twitter by default, dominates the market with a s!
hare of around 70 percent followed by other established players with considerably smaller slices. TinyURL, which has been around for years and is one of the original services of its kind, only manages around 10 percent but that is still significantly higher than the rest, which hover at below 3 percent.

Nintendo's weekly updates add a few interesting titles to the already wide array of choices. We'll first take a look at what the WiiWare has new to offer. The first to get the wheels rolling is Taito's Arkanoid Plus! which will continue the series' addictive arcade style block-busting action but will also brings some new features. Arcade Mode will consist of 61 rounds separated into left and right sides, ending with two types of boss characters in the last round. The versus mode will enable challengers to compete against either a CPU opponent or a real-life adversary. Time Trial mode will also be featured in Arkanoid Plus! along with new items and power ups. The game will be available for 600 Wii Points, or $6. The second title of this week's WiiWare update is Driift Mania. The Konami Digital Entertainment developed game will enable up to 8 players to compete against each other on the winding and twisting tracks it offers in a variety of settings, and it will be available !
for 800 Wii Points or $8. The last game added to the edition will be Sega's Altered Beast, brought forth from the far reaches of arcade times. The title is a side scroller that pits the player against imaginary and mythological creatures of ancient Greece and will be available for $10, or 1000 Wii Points. The DSiWa...

Blurry, low-sensitivity optical images of diseased tissues have been a nightmare for oncologists and other healthcare experts to analyze and base conclusions on, simply because the resolution of the images was very poor. Some four years ago, Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) Professor of Biomedical Engineering Dave Wilson got fed up with this, and set out to create new imaging methods that would offer a better resolution for physicians to act upon. Now, thanks to his new method, preclinical imaging studies can reveal single cancer cells in great detail.In addition to this remarkable feat, his new method can also pinpoint the exact location of the diseased cell within a 3D-model image of the affected area. This has the potential to make surgeons' jobs a lot easier, as they will no longer have to look for the cancerous cells on their own.

Microsoft's proposal for a “ballot screen†that should be included on its operating systems sold within the European Union hasn't been received as well as expected, it seems. According to the Wall Street Journal, the proposal sees a lot of criticism from different parties, while the European Committee for Interoperable Systems (ECIS) has argued that users would be confused by the ballot screen concept. Back in January 2009, the European Commission filed charges against Microsoft stating that the presence of Internet Explorer (IE) on Windows was violating antitrust regulations, and that the Redmond-based company should do something in this regard. What Microsoft proposed at that moment was to deliver its next client into the European Union without the web browser, and thus the Windows 7 E appeared. This proposal has not appealed to the Commission, and Microsoft came up with the ballot screen concept that should be included with the operating system, and which was supp!

NASA's MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry and Ranging (MESSENGER) probe is scheduled to begin its third and final flyby of the closest planet to the Sun today, before pulling a complex, gravity-assist maneuver that will allow for it to be captured in the planet's orbit starting with March 2011. Traveling at more than 100,000 miles per hour, the spacecraft will fly at less than 142 miles above the surface of Mercury, and will image the portions that were left unchecked during the previous two flights. The probe, launched in 2004, will travel about 4.9 billion miles in its journey. “We will be pointing at each individual target from several different angles during the flyby, which will allow us to collect more data.

YouTube may still be in the red, though not for long if you take Google's word for it, but it's dominating the video market so clearly that the company could run the site just for the sheer joy of watching Microsoft and the rest of the contenders look like tiny ants from the top of its tower. August tuned out to be another record month for online video in the US with 25 billion views, coming after similarly strong months in June and July and YouTube as usual is on top.“161 million U.S. Internet users watched online video during the month, the largest audience ever recorded. Online video reached another all-time high in August with more than 25 billion videos viewed during the month, with Google Sites accounting for more than 10 billion,†the comScore report for the previous month reads.Google sites have a massive advantage adding over 10 billion views, almost 40 percent of the entire market share and a 1 billion rise from the previous month. YouTube represents 99 percen!
t of those views and the online video site that started it all still rules unchallenged. 40 percent of the market doesn't look like that much on the face of it; after all, Google Search has 60 percent of the search market in the US and even more than that in some countries.That is until you look at the runner...

HTTP:: EU to Introduce Decibel Limit for mp3 Players
--------
A new legislative initiative circulated by the European Commission (EC) suggests that all newly manufactured mp3 players to be sold in Europe should have a built-in, removable noise limit. The idea is meant to safeguard people from their own bad listening habits, as well as to spare travelers in public transportation vehicles from having to hear what goes on in someone else's headphones. Listening to music for many hours at strong volumes can permanently damage hearing, health experts warn.The EC announced that it made this recommendation after a recent scientific study showed that about one in ten music-player users was at risk of suffering from permanent hearing loss. Still, the legislators had no way of making the limit permanent, so their plan states that, if a user wants to skip the factory settings and take off the noise limit, he or she can do so at will, the BBC News reports. The recent survey also discovered that between 50 and 100 million people in Europe listened!
to portable music devices each day. Over a five-year period, listening to music at high volumes for more than one hour per day can lead to permanent damage, the same document states.

It appears there is a way to enable iPhone MMS without upgrading your firmware to version 3.1, according to a report by OS X Daily. You must simply download the carrier file that enables the functionality. AT&T’s update apparently doesn’t require the iPhone OS 3.1 IPSW (update/restore) file from Apple in order to enable MMS on second- and third-generation iPhones. As most iPhone fanatics should know, MMS works only on iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS, while the former doesn’t support video MMS. However, iPhone OS 3.1 is not required to enable the multimedia messaging service from AT&T, according to at least one iPhone user. “After reading all the bad press for iPhone OS 3.1, I decided to hold out on upgrading, which means that I also can’t get MMS working, right? Wrong! The only thing you need to enable MMS on iPhone 3.0 (or 3.01) is the updated carrier file,†a person over at OS X Daily says, offering up a download via RapidShare. After downloading the “ATT!

A fairly big number of fish species, including eels and sharks, has the ability to generate and discharge electrical currents in the water around. The ability is used either to stun prey, or for defensive purposes, depending on the situation. Now, a new study has revealed that some of these species are also equipped with dimmer switches, whose purpose is to turn down the electrical activity in the fish, so as to preserve energy. The switch addresses the battery-like organ most electric fish carry in their tails, LiveScience reports. Naturalists and biologists have known for a long time that generating electrical impulses is a very energy-consuming process for the fish, and, naturally, it would be unsustainable for the animals to keep themselves on alert all the time. In the new investigation, a species known as Sternopygus macrurus has been analyzed. For example, this fish needs to be active during the night, and must avoid electrical field-sensing predators, such as the !
catfish. Without the ability to turn down its electricity, it would surely become food for the predator. While looking inside the electrical organ, during the latest study, experts have observed dimmer switches, located in the membrane of electrocytes.

The original Hollywood pneumatic babe Pamela Anderson is reportedly on the brink of bankruptcy, with two companies suing her for unpaid bills and the government asking that she pay backward taxes. In a statement just released to TMZ, the star admits to having some financial issues that would be best explained by some misunderstanding or miscommunication rather than lack of money, but strongly denies being on the verge of bankruptcy. Reports surfaced last week that Anderson owed a total of $1.2 million and that, what with pressure from the two companies and the government, she might have no other option than to file for bankruptcy and continue living in the trailer park where she currently resided. This is far from the case, Pamela explains in the statement issued to the celebrity gossip / paparazzi agency. As a matter of fact, her attorneys are now looking into the claims recently made. “It is true that I am in a dispute with some of the contractors working on my home!

HTTP:: Shuttle Retirement Schedule 039 Uncertain 039
--------
For the first time in more than two decades, NASA is working on a new class of rockets, the ARES range, a part of Project Constellation. Scheduled to replace the aging shuttle fleet by 2015, the Project has been plagued with controversies ever since it was first accepted, and all of its components have been openly criticized or acclaimed. Now, the White House-appointed presidential review panel that has been checking out NASA's plans and progress over the past couple of months says that the timeline the agency has in store for retiring the shuttles and bringing Constellation online is unfeasible. The panel members believe that, by retiring the shuttles at the end of the next year, the United States will be left without capabilities to deliver humans to orbit for the first time in the history of its space program. According to initial proposals, Project Constellation was to be completed by 2015. In fact, only two of its components, the ARES I delivery system and the Orion C!
rew Exploration Vehicle, were scheduled for completion, with the ARES V heavy-lift rocket and the Altair Lunar Lander envisioned to become operational later on.

For the first time in more than two decades, NASA is working on a new class of rockets, the ARES range, a part of Project Constellation. Scheduled to replace the aging shuttle fleet by 2015, the Project has been plagued with controversies ever since it was first accepted, and all of its components have been openly criticized or acclaimed. Now, the White House-appointed presidential review panel that has been checking out NASA's plans and progress over the past couple of months says that the timeline the agency has in store for retiring the shuttles and bringing Constellation online is unfeasible. The panel members believe that, by retiring the shuttles at the end of the next year, the United States will be left without capabilities to deliver humans to orbit for the first time in the history of its space program. According to initial proposals, Project Constellation was to be completed by 2015. In fact, only two of its components, the ARES I delivery system and the Orion C!
rew Exploration Vehicle, were scheduled for completion, with the ARES V heavy-lift rocket and the Altair Lunar Lander envisioned to become operational later on. By 2020, NASA planned, US astronauts would have been back on the Moon. The conclusions of the panel investigation revealed that ARES I and Orion would most likely not be ready ...

HTTP:: Blind People Can Still 039 See 039 Facial Expressions
--------
An international team of scientists has recently made a groundbreaking discovery, when experts have discovered that people who were partially blind, due to injury to half of their brains, were able to “see†facial expressions and body language in pictures of other individuals. All of the images were shown on their blind side, where they had no remaining vision, the scientists report, quoted by Nature News. The test participants were also able to respond to the expressions or behavior, albeit unconsciously. The investigators noticed that, when shown a picture of a smiling person, the test subjects involuntarily twitched a facial muscle usually associated with smiling. Conversely, when they “saw†an image of someone who looked fearful, they activated a muscle regularly used in frowning. The two people on whom the new research was conducted are from the United Kingdom, and they suffer from a condition known as partial cortical blindness, in which one side of their vis!
ual cortex is damaged. This means that their eyes are intact, but that they can no longer process images in their brain. For instance, the researchers explain, if their left side of the brain is affected, then they cannot see with the right eye, and vice-versa. The experts believe the results of the study again ...

HTTP:: Dispute Overpopulation Versus Overconsumption
--------
Over the past few decades, one of the greatest threats on civilization and our future on the planet has been, according to a number of scientists, overpopulation. It made sense, say, 30 to 40 years ago, to look at the population-growth rate and say that it was soon about to exceed sustainable limits. However, that turned out to be false, and the millions of people some authors believed would die of famine in the 1980s failed to do so. Now, experts identify overconsumption as one of the leading factors that could bring our demise as a species, or the downfall of our planet's systems, NewScientist reports. A few decades ago, women had an average of four to five children, which validated concerns of overpopulation.

One of the most arduous dreams that spies and secret agencies around the world have is to benefit from invisible observers in all possible situations. One way this can be done, and that, apparently, will become reality fairly soon, is through small, insect-like robots, outfitted with small-scale observation equipment. In order to make these instruments a reality, experts have recently constructed a locust simulator, which they hope will provide sufficient answers to the obstacles that lie ahead. The new simulator will have to take on the big role of assessing precisely how various wing textures influence flight, and also how the wings bend and compress while flapping. The model will also have to determine the role that the shape of the wing plays in making each type of flight unique to each insect. The system is made up of a locust, a wind tunnel, and extremely high-speed flash photography. The instruments measure the way air particles flow beneath, over and around the wi!
ngs, while the small insects fly in the tunnel, NewScientist reports. This method is called 'particle flow velocimetry.' Using information collected through this method, experts at the Stanford University developed a computer model that accounted for the insects' wing motion.

At the Game Tokyo Show, Goichi Suda, the creator of the Killer 7 and Wii's No More Heroes games, offered an interview for IGN.com in which several topics were discussed, but the more interesting would be the future development for No More Heroes. To be more precise, the future the game has alongside Nintendo's Wii. After a few words spoken about the upcoming No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle, the question regarding the NMH3, not part of Wii, came up.

Even if Travis's story is finished with number two, and we decide to make another No More Heroes game within the No More Heroes world or setting I still think that it should be on a Nintendo platform, and more specifically the Wii 2 later down the line.

At the Game Tokyo Show, Goichi Suda, the creator of the Killer 7 and Wii's No More Heroes games, offered an interview for IGN.com in which several topics were discussed, but the more interesting would be the future development for No More Heroes. To be more precise, the future the game has alongside Nintendo's Wii. After a few words spoken about the upcoming No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle, the question regarding the NMH3, not part of Wii, came up. Suda 51 swirled around the subject a little and said "I still think that No More Heroes and Wii is a good match, and that for the game we need motion controls, and that's why it works so well on Wii.

HTTP:: Microchip Detects Type and Severity of Cancer
--------
In many forms of cancer â€" one of the fastest-spreading diseases in the world today â€", detecting the conditions as early on as possible is the only chance the patient has of ever getting better. In reality, only a small portion of the people suffering from the disease is not identified too late, and doctors can only ensure that it suffers as little as possible. In order to curb this tendency, experts at the University of Toronto, in Canada, have devised a new microchip able to detect cancer.Additionally, the instrument is also able to specify the type and severity of the condition, so doctors can get on with medicating or otherwise treating the patients as soon as possible. “This remarkable innovation is an indication that the age of nanomedicine is dawning. Thanks to the breadth of expertise here at U T, cross-disciplinary collaborations of this nature make such landmark advances possible,†the UT President and Professor of Medicine, David Naylor, says of the new mi!

Dieting is frustrating â€" as also is the very idea of starting a new dietary plan, especially since most of them imply restrictions, limitations and, ultimately, the feeling of being deprived of something that we want badly and perhaps even deserve. Because of this, the best way to lose weight is not by starving ourselves, but rather by putting an end to mindless eating, Brian Wansink says in his latest book, “Mindless Eating: Why We Eat More Than We Think.†According to the author, just like we can gain weight without being aware of it, we can similarly drop a few pounds. The secret to successful weight loss (this means dropping the extra pounds and maintaining the figure) is to avoid mindless eating by eliminating the factors that lead to it.

HTTP:: Optimism Interferes with Weight Loss Study Says

What with the power of positive thinking and everything that’s being said about it, happiness and optimism can actually work against us in certain situations. One such situation is when starting a weight-loss program, since negative emotions are more likely to lead to visible results than optimism, a recent study quoted by Press TV informs. Researchers have managed to determine that people who are happy with their appearance and whose mood would be described as optimistic are more likely to fail when embarking on a weight-loss program. Oppositely, those who harbor negative emotions are more aware and critical of their appearance, therefore invest more effort in said program. This, in turn, leads to more visible results in terms of shifting the extra weight. “Obese individuals who are happy and optimistic are believed to be less successful in losing weight and slimming programs, a new study finds.
