Tylenol warnings appear on new Tylenol caps: Tylenol warnings prompted by fatal liver, skin reactions as reported in videos - How much is too much?

The FDA said two years ago that 325mg of acetaminophen per pill is enough. Extra Strength Tylenol has 500mg. The FDA is not reinforcing its own rule. 

Too much acetaminophen causes fatal liver failure and fatal skin reactions. 

The problem is that acetaminophen is contained in 600 different prescription and non-prescription drugs and it is not always called acetaminophen but sometimes in a shorter version such as “APAP,”  or “acetam.”

During the first five minutes: "I have no interest in any open-ended conflict in Syria, but we do have to make sure that when countries break international norms on weapons like chemical weapons that could threaten us, that they are held accountable.,"

Starting around minute 12: "If we are saying in a clear and decisive but very limited way, we send a shot across the bow saying, 'Stop doing this,' this can have a positive impact on our national security over the long term."

Wolf attack: Deformed wolf ‘chomped the head’ of sleeping 16-year-old Noah Graham in Minnesota: ‘He had to physically pry the jaws of the wolf open’ (Video report)

The wolf attack on Saturday around 4 a.m. by a solitary and deformed wolf caused 16-year-old Noah Graham to end up with 17 staples in his head to close up a 4-inch laceration. Noah Graham was also treated for puncture wounds on the right and left sides of his face and is receiving a regimen of rabies shots.

Around 4 a.m. on Saturday, 16-year-old Noah Graham from Solway in Minnesota was sleeping outside his tent near the shore at the West Winnie Campground on Lake Winnibigoshish in north central Minnesota when the wolf attack occurred. Noah's father, Scott Graham, says that the attack was quiet and sudden. 

"The wolf just came up behind Noah, he didn't hear anything, and it just grabbed him by the back of the head and wouldn't let go. He had to physically pry the jaws of the wolf open...to get it off of him. And once he got it off of him and he was up, the wolf stood there growling at him. And he had to shout at it and kick at it to get it to go away.”

An examination of the wolf during a necropsy at the University of Minnesota showed that “the wolf's bottom and top jaws did not align properly and it was missing at least one canine tooth.” Officials believe that the wolf’s deformity might have contributed to him being solitary and making such an unusual wolf attack since it was the first official attack by a wolf recorded in Minnesota.

Twerking Miley Cyrus shocks at 2013 Video Music Awards, but what is twerking? Watch the full 6-minute Miley Cyrus twerking video and learn

Twerking has been around for the past 20 years and is a sexually suggestive dance move that includes shaking the hips in an up-and-down bouncing motion (rather than side to side).  Adding the right kind of clothing (or lack thereof), as in the case of twerking Miley Cyrus, one is in fact reminded of the strip clubs that popularized twerking after the twerking move became popular in 1993, when DJ Jubilee recorded the dance tune "Do The Jubilee All" in which he chanted, "Twerk baby, twerk baby, twerk, twerk, twerk."

Bob Filner resigns but criminal investigation continues (Video of Bob Filner's resignation speech)

On Friday, San Diego's Mayor Bob Filner resigned after the San Diego City Council approved a settlement agreement with Mayor Bob Filner in a 7-0 vote following a 90-minute closed-door meeting.

“As part of that deal, the city will provide a joint legal defense with the mayor of claims against him by city employees, volunteers or contractors, but the city reserves the right to seek reimbursement for any damages it suffers. Filner also will be permitted to hire his own lawyer, with the city capping expenses for outside counsel at $98,000, according to the city attorney.”

Over 1,300 Syrians die in chemical attack: Syrian government denies attack, so why are U.N. chemical weapons inspectors denied access to investigate?

Experts have long believed that Syria has large undeclared stockpiles of mustard gas and sarin nerve agent. On Wednesday, shocking photos were released showing the aftermath of a deadly chemical weapons use in Ain Tarma, a Damascus suburb where 1,300 innocent Syrians were gassed in their beds. Many of them are children.

“The attackers used rockets to release fatal fumes over the suburb in the early hours of yesterday morning as people slept in their homes,” reports a Blog from Nigeria which includes several graphic pictures of the dead. 

Third gender option in Germany: New law gives choice to be male, female, or neither (Video)

The third gender option law that will begin in Germany on November 1, 2013, is a revolutionary law since it gives parents the right not to pin down the sex of their child as male or female on the baby’s birth certificate but to choose “undetermined.”

The third gender option is crucial for children who are born as intersex children meaning that their sex cannot be definitely determined at birth.

Assigning the wrong sex to a baby has lifelong consequences as the story of Scottish-Australian Norrie May-Welb shows.

Norrie May-Welb was designated to be “male” on her/his birth certificate even though it was not clear to doctors whether the baby was a girl or a boy.

Army Pfc. Bradley Manning was sentenced on Wednesday by a military judge to 35 years in prison after having been convicted of espionage for leaking classified U.S. military and diplomatic materials to the anti-secrecy group WikiLeaks in 2010.

Bradley Manning, who is now 25, will likely be moved to the Army’s central prison in Ft. Leavenworth, Kan. Bradley Manning’s lawyers are planning to file appeals against his conviction and are petitioning his release, a highly unlikely situation.

Bradley Manning's legal team is also asking the White House to pardon their client and Bradley Manning himself wrote a letter to President Obama to ask for pardon.

Below is the text of Bradley Manning’s letter to President Obama requesting pardon as read by defense attorney David Coombs following Bradley Manning’s sentencing on Wednesday:

Glenn Greenwald's partner, David Miranda, detained for 9 hours in the UK: 'It's a total abuse of power' (Video, interview with David Miranda and Glenn Greenwald in Brazil)

David Miranda, the partner of Guardian journalist Glenn Greenwald, says he was questioned about his entire life after being detained for nine hours under anti-terror laws at London's Heathrow airport.

Brazil's foreign minister says the detention was "unjustified."

The detention of David Miranda at Heathrow is continuing to generate a fierce debate, in the UK and around the world, about how terrorist legislation is being used as an excuse to violate the rights of individuals.

Bob Filner: Locks have been changed at mayor’s office, a ‘You’re NOT welcome back’ party is awaiting San Diego's (still) Mayor Bob Filner

Bob Filner’s demise is turning out to be more interesting than most reality shows. After 14 women have now come forward describing that Bob Filner has sexually harassed them, the call for San Diego’s Mayor Bob Filner to resign is getting about as loud as it can. Will the 70-year-old San Diego get the message?

Bob Filner was supposed to enter rehab on Aug. 5, 2013, as he publicly announced and return to work as San Diego’s mayor on Aug. 19, 2013, but – surprise, surprise – on Aug. 9, 2013, Bob Filner is already done with his rehab.

Allegedly, Bob Filner had entered rehab a week earlier and already completed his rehab. Just like in his public statement in which he apologized for his inappropriate behavior towards women, Bob Filner is once again changing his public statement. 

Mayor Bob Filner is taking personal time next week and according to a statement from the office of attorney, James L. Payne of Los Angeles, he will continue therapy sessions on an outpatient basis.

City Attorney Jan Goldsmith confirmed that the locks were changed at the 11th-floor City Hall office of the mayor.

Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., sent an open letter Friday calling for Bob Filner to resign and seek treatment as a private citizen. "But now I must say this directly to you: Bob, you must resign because you have betrayed the trust of the women you have victimized, the San Diegans you represent and the people you have worked with throughout your decades in public life." 

San Diego’s 10 News reported on Friday night that a “You’re not welcome back” party is planned for next week.

First hamburger made from lab-grown meat: The ‘Frankenburger’ or the world’s first test-tube hamburger is here (Videos)

So how does the first hamburger taste that was grown in a petri dish in a lab made from stem cells from a cow? “The same as a hamburger except not as fat,” says one of the taste testers who got a bite of the first hamburger made in a petri dish in a lab.

At 250,000 Euros to make, which is more than $330,000 dollars, one wonders why on earth would anyone want to grow a hamburger artificially in a lab rather than just butchering a cow.

Below are two videos that might be of interest. And we’ll certainly keep an eye on those news.

The man who has paid for the production of the world's first lab-grown hamburger has been revealed as Google co-founder Sergey Brin. The internet entrepreneur has backed the project to the tune of €250,000 (£215,000), or about $331,000, allowing scientists to grow enough meat in the lab to create a burger -- as a proof of concept -- that was cooked and eaten in London on Monday, August 5, 2013.

Elton John recovers after appendicitis and having his appendix removed: ‘I was a ticking time bomb. I guess I could have died at any time’

Elton John is recovering at his home in Nice, France, after he had his appendix removed at Monaco's Princess Grace Hospital on Thursday.

Elton John says that he waited too long before calling the doctors. "I was a ticking time bomb. I guess I could have died at any time. I feel so lucky and grateful to be alive.”

Despite his age of 66, Elton John ignored the typical signs of appendicitis and performed 10 shows “in agony,” as he says.

Appendicitis is an inflammation of the appendix which is a 3 1/2-inch-long tube of tissue that extends from the large intestine. Early signs of appendicitis can include a tenderness around the navel which eventually turns into acute pain which shifts to the lower right abdomen.

Besides tenderness and pain, appendicitis can be accompanied by symptoms like loss of appetite, nausea and/or vomiting, abdominal swelling, a fever of 99-102 degrees Fahrenheit, painful urination, and severe cramps.

As in Elton John’s case, however, some of those appendicitis symptoms might not be present or persistent enough to notify the doctor until it is almost too late.

Elton John is expressing his gratitude to his friends and fans on his news website.

"I would like to thank the literally thousands of people who have sent me get well cards and messages over the past two weeks. Your well wishes have touched me deeply and will play a big part in my recovery.

I cannot wait to see you all and thank you in person when I resume my concert schedule later this year. In the meantime, please know that I consider myself a very blessed man to have such caring and considerate fans.

With all my love,

Elton"

Because of his appendicitis, Elton John had to cancel a series of summer shows last month but he is scheduled to be performing again on stage in September. 

Kate Middleton: Breastfeeding and no nanny – a typical European mother with an atypical occupation shown on her son’s birth certificate, ‘Princess of the United Kingdom’

When Kate Middleton married Prince William in Westminster Abbey on April 29, 2011, she became the Princess William of Wales so it is no surprise that Prince William used Kate Middleton’s formal title and her formal occupation when officially registering his son’s birth certificate on August 2, 2013.

Kate Middleton's name on her son's birth certificate is "Catherine Elizabeth Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cambridge."

While his wife Kate Middleton’s occupation is listed as "Princess of the United Kingdom," Prince William’s own occupation can be seen as "Prince of the United Kingdom."

And the little guy?  His Royal Highness Prince George Alexander Louis of Cambridge

According to a British Mirror report, Prince William took care of registering his son’s July 22, 2013, birth at Kensington Palace on August 2, 2013, while 31-year-old Kate Middleton stayed with Prince George Alexander Louis and the proud grandparents, Carole and Michael Middleton, at their home in Bucklebury, Berkshire.

Michelle Knight might be only about 4 feet 7 inches tall physically, but psychologically she stands taller than Ariel Castro, the abductor who kept Michelle Knight a prisoner for 11 years along with Amanda Berry and Gina DeJesus.
