The New Sesame Street DVD's Are Not for Kids 2007-11-22 05:43:00 The Bryant Park Project, November 15, 2007 · Early episodes of SesameStreet
are being released on DVD — with a warning that they are intended for grown-ups and may not suit the needs of today's preschoolers.Virginia Heffernan of the New York Times blog The Medium went looking for Big Bird, and found that his neighborhood has essentially been gentrified for a new generation of viewers. "I definitely had dimly remembered that something in the palette of the show was really unnerving — both unnerving and thrilling," she says. "I watched it from a small town, and it made me think of, you know, 'New York's mean streets!' "The vintage Sesame Street
characters couldn't make on T.V. today, she argues. Just look at Oscar the Grouch, a fellow who lives in a garbage, gets no help with his obvious emotional problems and shows no ambition to better his station in life.

Indonesian Tree Man May be Cured 2007-11-21 10:15:00 BODY UNABLE TO CONTAIN WARTSAn Indonesian
man whose body is covered with extraordinary tree-like growths has spoken of his hope that an American doctor will cure his unique condition and help him rebuild his family life.Dede, now 35, baffled medical experts when warty “roots” began growing out of his arms and feet after he cut his knee in a teenage accident. Sacked from his job and deserted by his wife, Dede has been unable to look after his two children Entang and Utis, who are now aged 16 and 18. They have been brought up apart from their father by his extended family on the other side of their remote village south of the capital Jakarta.With Dede’s condition considered life threatening, he had resigned himself to missing out on the remaining joys of fatherhood.But now a dermatology expert who flew out from the US to examine his rare condition says that a course of synthetic Vitamin A should clear up most of the warts, and Dede is contemplating a transformed life. “I can’t

Study : Smoking Can Make You Impotent ! 2007-11-19 08:03:00 NEW YORK: It's important that you give a second thought before lighting your next fag -- if researchers are to be believed, smoking can ruin your sex life.According to a study carried out by the researchers, men who smoke cigarettes run an increased risk of experiencing erectile dysfunction, and the more cigarettes smoked, the greater the risk, the Science Daily has reported."Although erectile dysfunction is not a life threatening condition, it compromises well-being and quality of life.

It was the strongest cyclone since a 1991 storm that killed some 143,000 people in Bangladesh.Navy ships scoured coastal areas for hundreds of people reported missing and sought to clear river channels clogged with sunken vessels to restore normal navigation, officials said.Helicopters flew sorties to devastated areas, dropping food, drinking water and medicine for the survivors."We are here to help you. You help us by allowing a safe landing and keeping a safe distance," the pilot of a helicopter warned people in Mathbaria, Barisal district, as they thronged towards his craft, television Read more:Bangladesh

Bye bye Nokia N95, welcome Nokia N82. But when in Indonesia ? 2007-11-16 06:09:00 Nokia has unveiled a new high-end mobile phone with a 5 megapixel camera and a built-in GPS navigation system.The N82is the successor to Nokia's N95 phone and comes with similar features, but they are packed into a candy-bar shape that makes the device feel a bit less bulky than the N95, which used a slider design.Nokia said the N82, announced Wednesday, is shipping now in parts of Europe for a recommended price of €450 (US$650) before subsidies, which is €100 less than the N95 when it went on sale about six months ago. Nokia company didn't say if it would ship the phone in the U.S.Nokia is relying on its feature-rich phones to offset a decline in the average selling price of its standard models, and is bundling GPS (Global Positioning System) features in a wider range of devices to help distinguish it from competitors.Like the N95, the new phone has a 5 megapixel camera with a Carl Zeiss lens and can capture MPEG-4 VGA video at 30 frames per second.

Fast Food Restaurants & Nutrition Facts Compared 2007-11-15 10:09:00 Fast food is bad food. That's pretty much common knowledge these days. The majority of the foods served at fast food restaurants contain an insane amount of calories, tons of fat (including the very evil trans fat), and are high in pretty much everything else that you'd want your food to be low in. Long story short, it's the kind of food you want to avoid eating.But, you probably know this already. The funny thing is, most of the world doesn't seem to care. The fast food restaurants continue to do just fine because people continue to eat their unhealthy food. So I figured, if you are still going to eat this junk, you might as well at least know which is the best of the worst, and which is the worst of the worst.To show this, I've compared the nutrition facts of the most popular foods from over 20 popular fast food restaurants to see how each restaurant's version of the same food stacks up against the others. If this isn't enough to convince you to eat less (or none) of this stu Read more:Fast Food
