Researchers at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) fed two groups of rats a solution containing too much sugar and high-fructose corn syrup — a common ingredient in processed foods — as drinking water for six weeks.

One group of rats was supplemented with brain-boosting omega-3 fatty acids in the form of flaxseed oil and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), while the other group was not.

Before the sugar drinks began, the rats were enrolled in a five-day training session in a complicated maze. After six weeks on the sweet solution, the rats were then placed back in the maze to see how they fared.

“The DHA-deprived animals were slower, and their brains showed a decline in synaptic activity cause of too much sugar” said Fernando Gomez-Pinilla, a professor of neurosurgery at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA.

“Their brain cells had trouble signaling each other, disrupting the rats’ ability to think clearly and recall the route they’d learned six weeks earlier.” A closer look at the rat brains revealed that those who were not fed DHA supplements had also developed signs of resistance to insulin, a hormone that controls blood sugar and regulates brain function.

“Because insulin can penetrate the blood-brain barrier, the hormone may signal neurons to trigger reactions that disrupt learning and cause memory loss,” Gomez-Pinilla said. In other words, eating too much sugar could interfere with insulin’s ability to regulate how cells use and store sugar, which is necessary for processing thoughts and emotions.

“Insulin is important in the body for controlling blood sugar, but it may play a different role in the brain, where insulin appears to disturb memory and learning,” Gomez-Pinilla said. High-fructose corn syrup is commonly found in soda, condiments, applesauce, baby food and other processed snacks.

The average American consumes too much sugar, more than 40 pounds (18 kilograms) of high-fructose corn syrup per year, according to the US Department of Agriculture.

While the study did not say what the equivalent might be for a human to consume too much sugar as much high-fructose corn syrup as the rats did, researchers said it provides some evidence that metabolic syndrome can affect the mind as well as the body.

“Eating too much sugar or high-fructose diet over the long term alters your brain’s ability to learn and remember information. But adding omega-3 fatty acids to your meals can help minimize the damage.”  Source AFP

There are still a few more steps before Facebook IPO and shares are ready to trade. The company is waiting for the Securities and Exchange Commission to declare its Facebook IPO effective — the formal green light Facebook and its underwriters need before they can sell shares to outside buyers.

After four months of paperwork, hype and speculation, the last piece of the Facebook IPO is in place: Facebook said it has priced its Facebook IPO at $38 a share.

At that price, Facebook IPO will raise $16 billion, making it the largest tech IPO in history. It’s the third largest U.S. IPO ever, trailing only the $19.7 billion raised by Visa (V, Fortune 500) in March 2008 and the $18.1 billion raised by automaker General Motors (GM, Fortune 500) in November 2010, according to rankings by Thomson Reuters.

The $38 Facebook IPO price is the rate at which Facebook’s underwriters (including lead banker Morgan Stanley) will sell shares to their clients, which typically include large institutional investors, mutual funds and hedge funds.

Facebook IPO Shares will be released Thursday night to those buyers, who can resell them on the open market beginning on Friday.

Some shares were made available to individual investors, but getting them typically requires either a lot of money or a lot of trading experience. It also required moving fast. Many brokerages offering pieces of Facebook IPO allotment “closed their books” on Tuesday, meaning they stopped taking orders.

Unlike Google (GOOG, Fortune 500), whose IPO used a “Dutch auction” to allow direct bidding by investors, Facebook’s setup doesn’t give regular folks access until shares begin trading publicly on the tech-heavy Nasdaq exchange.

While the market opens at 9:30 am ET on Friday, Facebook IPO shares won’t start trading instantly. It typically takes time — sometimes an hour or more — for newly listed shares to begin actively trading on the day of their public debut. How much Facebook is worth: Facebook’s (FB) market capitalization will hover around $81 billion on the day of its Facebook IPO.

Many Facebook employees and executives hold unexercised stock options. If all of those shares were exercised, Facebook’s outstanding share count would rise to around 2.8 billion — pushing the company’s total valuation closer to $107 billion.

Facebook CEO and founder Mark Zuckerberg plans to sell 30.2 million shares in the IPO offering. That will net Zuckerberg about $1.1 billion. But Zuckerberg won’t be hanging on to his cash. Facebook said he will use the “substantial majority” of the windfall to cover the massive tax bill he’ll be hit with, thanks to his plan to exercise a large stock-options grant that will increase his ownership stake in the company he founded.

After the offering, Zuckerberg will hold 503.6 million shares, or about 31% of the company. That stake is worth $19.1 billion.

Venture capital firm Accel Partners, which is the largest shareholder outside of Zuckerberg, is selling 49 million shares in the offering. That’s about a quarter of its Facebook holdings — Rajomedia Source Transformer Studio and CNN

If Facebook IPO continued success in the marketplace, then certainly the social media IPOs this year’s starting to bloom again.

The oldest Mayan Calendar 2012 is found at a building in Xultún, a region in Guatemala. The calendar is unlike seen before at other mayan site, and its very old. The Mayan calendar 2012 is containing of Sun Ceremonial of Mayan.

There’ve found the oldest Mayan Calendar 2012 and read it.

The tiny, millimeter-thick, red and black glyphs are unlike any seen before at other Mayan sites, but appear to represent the various Mayan calendrical cycles – the 260-day ceremonial calendar, the 365-day solar calendar, the 584-day cycle of the planet Venus and the 780-day cycle of Mars.

“For the first time we get to see what may be actual records kept by a scribe, whose job was to be official record keeper of a Maya community,” says archaeologist William Saturno of Boston University.

“It’s like an episode of TV’s ‘Big Bang Theory,’ a geek math problem and they’re painting it on the wall. They seem to be using it like a blackboard.” And, despite popular belief, there’s no sign that the Mayan’s believed the world would end in 2012.

“It’s like the odometer of a car, with the Maya calendar 2012 rolling over from the 120,000s to 130,000,” says Anthony Aveni, professor of astronomy and anthropology at Colgate University. “The car gets a step closer to the junkyard as the numbers turn over; the Maya just start over.”

The numbers appear on the west wall of the building, and appear to include dates some 7,000 years on the future. One appears to record the date they were painted – 813 AD, just as the Mayan world started to collapse.

“The ancient Mayan Calendar 2012 predicted the world would continue, that 7,000 years from now, things would be exactly like this,” says Saturno. “We keep looking for endings. The Maya were looking for a guarantee that nothing would change. It’s an entirely different mindset.”

So, do you believe Mayan Calendar 2012 ?

Rajomedia - 7 inch iPad release date track on October 2012, that the tiniest version of iPad will be cheaper than other. Its will be sell at $200 with 8GB storage, and will have same resolution, source Transformer Studio

The reliable source news said, the 7 inch iPad is gadget. Maybe it little small, but its a cheap and same quality with the real one.

Schedule of 7 inch iPad Release Date

The outlet says such7 inch iPad is very much in the works and will come in around the $200 to $250 price range. On the lower end, that’s less than half the price of Apple’s current entry-level iPad model, and $150 to $200 less than the 16GB second-generation model that Apple still sells. That would also overlap with the pricing of Apple’s iPod Touch line, which starts out at $199 and tops out at $399 for the 64GB model.

iMore’s report adds two other interesting assertions. The first is that the device will only have 8GB of memory. That’s half the memory of the entry-level iPad, which has kept the same three storage configurations (16GB, 32GB, 64GB) since the first-generation model. Second, is that the screen will sport the same resolution as Apple’s latest iPad at 2,048 by 1,536 pixels.

That second detail is of particular interest given the notion that Apple would want to keep in step with what it calls “Retina Displays” on its iOS devices. These are displays where the pixels are so closely packed together that you cannot pick them out from one another when viewing the screen.

As iMore notes, a 2,048 by 1,536 pixel screen at 7 inches would give the smaller iPad a 326 pixels per inch display, up considerably from the 264 pixels per inch on Apple’s latest iPad, and on par with the 326 ppi Apple currently offers on its iPod Touchs and iPhones — just bigger.

That screen resolution combined with smaller storage could cause a problem though. 8GB on an iPad would fill up mighty fast with HD content, and media-rich games. For instance, many 1,080p movies on iTunes go beyond 4GB a pop. There are also games, some of which have stretched in size in the jump to the new iPad. There could be workarounds for it though, particularly if Apple makes some adjustments to its iCloud infrastructure to add streaming instead of downloading.

This is the latest rumor to suggest Apple would roll out a smaller version of the 7 inch iPad release date . A report from the often off Taipei-based DigiTimes in February said a 7.85-inch iPad model was in the works and ready to ship by the “third quarter” of this year. Separately, Chinese portal Netease asserted the same claim just last month. The big difference from both those reports is the price, which was $50 to $100 higher than iMore’s suggestion, so we wait to 7 inch iPad release date on October later.

Studies to Fight Bowel Cancer

Curcumin, which is found in the spice turmeric, has been linked to a range of health benefits. Studies have already shown that it can fight bowel cancer cells grown in a laboratory and benefits have been suggested in stroke and dementia patients as well.

Now a trial at hospitals in Leicester will investigating giving curcumin alongside chemotherapy drugs. About 40,000 people are diagnosed with bowel cancer in the UK each year. If the disease spreads around the body, patients are normally given a combination of three chemotherapy drugs, but about half will not respond.

Forty patients at Leicester Royal Infirmary and Leicester General Hospital will take part in the trial, which will compare the effects of giving curcumin pills seven days before starting standard chemotherapy treatment.

Difficult to fight bowel cancer

Prof William Steward, who is leading the study, said animal tests combining the two were “100 times better” than either on their own and that had been the “major justification for cracking on” with the trial. He said: “Once bowel cancer has spread it is very difficult to treat, partly because the side effects of chemotherapy can limit how long patients can have treatment.

“The prospect that curcumin might increase the sensitivity of cancer cells to chemotherapy is exciting because it could mean giving lower doses, so patients have fewer side effects and can keep having treatment for longer.

“This research is at a very early stage, but investigating the potential of plant chemicals to treat cancer is an intriguing area that we hope could provide clues to developing new drugs in the future to fight bowel cancer.”

Joanna Reynolds, from Cancer Research UK, said: “By doing a clinical trial like this, we will find out more about the potential benefits of taking large amounts of curcumin, as well as any possible side effects this could have for fight bowel cancer for patients.

“I love him, he’s the man,” Testone said. “Steven said he fell in love with me…don’t take it literally or make it a big thing!”

Elise Testone American Idol , the 28-year-old from Charleston, South Carolina, had faced elimination so many times that “Idol” mentor Jimmy Iovine joked she had a “vacation home” in the bottom three.

But I’m glad I did.”

Elise Testone American Idol, came up on the short end of the reported 58 million votes cast following Wednesday’s performance episode, where she took on Queen’s “I Want It All” and a very wordy rendition of Jimi Hendrix’s “Bold as Love.” Following the Hendrix song, Randy Jackson told her it “wasn’t the right song for this time in the competition,” and on Thursday’s show, Iovine called Testone “a great singer who makes bad choices.” He called “Bold as Love” a “double down on bad decisions.”

Elise Testone American idol, she is the oldest of this season’s finalists, sang Led Zeppelin’s “Whole Lotta Love” during her exit. It was one of her signature songs of the season.

“I’d like to say that they were [helpful], but I don’t really feel that way. Elise Testone American Idol said, “For the most part, I don’t think it always made sense. Some things that they say don’t line up with what I’ve learned on my own. It’s hard to judge someone in such a short amount of time and tell people who they are when you don’t even know who they are.”

The Best American Idol vs “The Voice”

American Idol is indeed aging and it will likely never regain the ratings it once boasted,” said Jeffrey McCall, a communications professor at DePauw University. “‘The Voice’ has surprised me with the traction it has generated. It really does come off as younger than ‘Idol.’”

The financial stakes are enormous, because advertisers pay the most for young eyeballs. American Idol earned $688 million in advertising revenue last year, down 7% from the previous year, according to an estimate from research firm Kantar Media. By comparison, “The Voice” racked up just $57 million, because it was a new show with no track record and also because it lasted well into the summer, when viewing is lower. Nevertheless, “The Voice” has revived NBC’s prime time prospects and speculation has it that the show will return in the fall, although the network has confirmed nothing.

Meanwhile, signs that American Idol is undergoing a midlife crisis have been piling up.

Shortly after he was voted off the show, Heejun Han, a 22-year-old New Yorker with a deadpan sense of humor, joked that he wasn’t going to root for any of the remaining contestants and would just watch “The Voice” instead.
