Beyonc? Cancels Concert, Pregnancy Rumors Heat Up
Beyonce’ canceled a concert in Berlin due to illness, which now has those pregnancy rumors heating up. The news broke today that due to exhaustion and doctors orders Beyonce’ had to cancel her performance in Berlin for tonight. An email was sent to The Associated Press by the singers rep that her doctor gave her strict orders to rest that she has exhaustion. The show scheduled for Tuesday at Sportpaleis in Antwerp will be rescheduled. However the fate of her Wednesday night show, also in Berlin, still remains to be seen. The rep had this to say about the future show “she is awaiting word from her doctors before making a decision.” This recent health development comes hot on the heels of the rumors that Beyonce’ is preggers with baby number two. Of course those rumors are being denied all over the place but now that she has been sidelined due to exhaustion, the rumor mill is a buzzing that she is knocked up. It is no secret that she and her hubby Jay-Z definitely want to give daughter Blue Ivy a little brother or sister, so there could be some truth to the speculation. As you may recall Bey [...]

Gunmen open fire on liquor stores in Iraq, 11 dead
HEROR, Iraq (AP) ? A convoy of gunmen opened fire on a row of liquor stores in eastern Baghdad immediately after sunset on Tuesday, killing 11 people and wounding five others, officials said.
Police said the gunmen were in four cars that had stopped in the area and attacked shortly after sunset. Hospital officials confirmed the casualties. All officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to speak to media.
The attack in the Zayouna neighborhood came as the stores were at their peak business time, when commuters buy alcohol on the way home from work. Police say the four liquor stores hit had been rebuilt after bombers destroyed them in a previous attack last year.
Nobody claimed responsibility, although Islamic extremists have frequently targeted liquor stores in Iraq, where alcohol is available in most cities.
Meanwhile in the country's north, the first Kurdish fighters entered Iraq from Turkey as part of a peace deal with Ankara to end a decades-long uprising despite Iraqi objections to the transfer.
The rebels' retreat to bases in Iraq's semi-autonomous Kurdish region is a key stage in the peace process between the Kurdistan Workers Party, or PKK, and the Turkish government, aimed at ending one of the world's bloodiest insurgencies.
The PKK declared a cease-fire in March, heeding a call from its imprisoned leader, Abdullah Ocalan, who is engaged in talks with Turkey to end a nearly 30-year battle that has cost tens of thousands of lives.
Carrying rifles and hand grenades, the first 13 men and women arrived Tuesday in Heror in the Iraqi Kurdish area and were greeted by comrades serving refreshments of tea and cookies.
"We have been on the road for the past seven days," said Sawashka Kawar, one of the fighters. "But today, we made it and arrived in Iraq despite the difficult journey."
She warned the Turkish government that if PKK fighters were attacked, they "will fight back."
The refuge offer came from Iraq's Kurdish region, which enjoys limited independence from the central government in Baghdad. Iraqi Kurds were involved in the talks with Turkey.
Baghdad has rejected the deal, warning that the entry of more armed Kurdish fighters could harm Iraq's security and add tension to already souring relations between the self-ruled Kurdish region and the central government. The two sides are in conflict over contested areas, including key oil-producing sectors and disputed areas.
During a session Tuesday, the Iraqi Cabinet reiterated its rejection of the deal and of the presence of PKK fighters, saying it "represents a flagrant violation of Iraq's sovereignty and independence."
The government said Iraq will file a complaint to the U.N. Security Council about it. "Iraq stresses its right to defend its sovereignty and independence in ways seen proper and in accordance with international laws and decisions," said the statement.
In Heror, PKK official Furat Jakrkhouni said a larger group is expected to enter Iraq in a week's time.
"More PKK fighters will be arriving if things go smoothly," he said. "The withdrawal process will continue if there is no obstacles put by the Turkish government."
PKK, considered a terror group by Ankara and its Western allies, is believed to have between 1,500 and 2,000 fighters inside Turkey, along with several thousand more based in northern Iraq, which they use as a springboard for attacks on Turkish territory.
Relations between Iraq and Turkey have been strained since December, when Iraq's fugitive Sunni Vice President Tariq al-Hashemi took refuge in Turkey following accusations by the Shiite-led government in Baghdad that he was running death squads.
Turkish officials rejected Baghdad's request to hand over al-Hashemi, who was tried and convicted in absentia.

LinkedIn forbids prostitution listings, angering legal sex workers ... - RT
LinkedIn, the social website that caters to professional networking, announced Monday that sex workers will no longer be able to use the online resume service to advertise their own personal brand.
The social network has never allowed ?unlawful? profiles, which it categorizes as those advertising illegal services, but, as prostitution is not forbidden by law everywhere in the world or even everywhere in the United States, escorts have long taken advantage of the opportunity to bring attention to themselves. ?
Under the section titled ?Don?t undertake the following,? LinkedIn's new privacy policy and user agreement stipulates, ?Even if it is legal where you are located," users must not "create profiles or provide content that promotes escort services or prostitution.??
Legal sex workers displaced by the update have criticized LinkedIn for assuming the role of moral arbiter of the Internet.?
?What?s the problem? We have a license to do this stuff,? Dennis Hof, owner of multiple legal brothels including Nevada's Moonlite Bunny Ranch, told NBC on Monday. ?Our business is legal as theirs. We?re the good guys. We have no reason to be knocked off.??
Hof said he hopes LinkedIn doesn?t try to remove his or his employees? profiles as they, like so many other legal businesses in the information age, rely on social media to attract customers.?
?LinkedIn needs to realize they don?t need to filter out legal businesses in America,? he continued. ?These are businesswomen, and some of them are making mid-six-figure incomes. If it?s okay to do that, is it okay to drop Dairy Queen too because it serves too much fat and calories??
A casual inspection of LinkedIn?s listings reveals that many young men and women, while not listing prostitution as one of their career skills, do advertise thinly-veiled massage services, independent escort professionalism, and companionship, among other professions.?
?I?m not saying we?re going to do a purge, though we very well may,? said Hani Durzy, LinkedIn?s director of corporate communications, during an interview with NBC. ?In a nutshell, as we become aware of profiles that violate our policies we will take the appropriate actions. Does that mean shutting them down on day one? Or giving our members the benefit of the doubt, and telling them that?s a violation and you?ve got to change it? There is no hard and fast rule.?

Restaurant Meals Have More Than Half Of Daily Recommended Calories
Eating out for breakfast, lunch or dinner? Your meal likely contains more than half of your daily recommended calorie intake, according to a new study from Canada.
Researchers from the University of Toronto examined the calorie, sodium, fat and cholesterol levels of 685 meals and 156 desserts from 19 sit-down restaurants around Canada, and found that the average meal has 1,128 calories.
Even though most nutritional facts are based on eating 2,000-calories a day, the number of calories a person should eat each day differs from individual to individual, based on weight, physical activity level, and other factors. The USDA's current daily calorie recommendations are as follows:
Estimates range from 1,600 to 2,400 calories per day for adult women and 2,000 to 3,000 calories per day for adult men, depending on age and physical activity level. Within each age and gender category, the low end of the range is for sedentary individuals; the high end of the range is for active individuals.
The study, published as a research letter in JAMA Internal Medicine, also showed that the average sit-down restaurant meal has 151 percent of the daily recommended amount of sodium for adults, 60 percent of the daily recommended amount of cholesterol, and 89 percent of the daily recommended amount of fat. And the average meal contained 83 percent of the daily recommended trans and saturated fats particularly.
"The high level of saturated fat is worrisome because according to the Institute of Medicine, intakes of saturated fat should be kept as low as possible," the researchers wrote in the study. "Furthermore, though recommendations suggest that approximately 20 [percent] to 35 [percent] of energy should come from fat; in this study, 45 [percent] was derived from fat."
They continued on to write: "Overall, the results of this study demonstrate that calorie, fat, saturated fat, and sodium levels are alarmingly high in breakfast, lunch, and dinner meals from multiple chain [sit-down restaurants]. Therefore, addressing the nutritional profile of restaurant meals should be a major public health priority."
In another study, published in the same new issue of JAMA Internal Medicine, the Center for Science in the Public Interest's Michael F. Jacobson, Ph.D., found that processed food makers and restaurants are slow to decrease sodium levels in their foods. Jacobson analyzed sodium levels in food between 2005 and 2011, and found that sodium in processed foods went down by 3.5 percent and increased in fast food by 2.6 percent.
"A traditional recommendation among physicians for treating and preventing high blood pressure is to counsel patients on reducing sodium intake," Jacobson wrote in the study. "While in an ideal world that recommendation would be sufficient to lower blood pressure in the patient population, in the real world it places unrealistic demands on both patients and physicians given the high sodium levels present in processed and restaurant foods."
The new studies come on the heels of a report just published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, showing that the nutrition quality of fast food has improved just 3 percent over a 14-year period. For more on that research, click here.

Technology may find ovarian cancer cells at an earlier stage
(Chicago Tribune) New technology for identifying early stage ovarian cancer in uterine and cervical cells could have the potential to one day stem this often deadly disease, according to a recent study in the International Journal of Cancer.
Using equipment that can carry out nanocytology ? a technique that identifies cells at the nanoscale, or one billionth of a meter, much smaller than typical microscopy can detect ? researchers were able to find ovarian cancerous cells that were invisible using a conventional microscope? If the findings are replicated on a larger scale, doctors could brush the cervix and endometrium for cells during a pap smear and only have to use costlier tests, such as a CT scan, to confirm a diagnosis, [Dr. Vadim] Backman said. Community: This is very good news, since most ovarian cancer isn?t found until it?s at a very late stage and hard to cure.[Click the title, above, to post a comment.]
