UndefinedTwo Russian girls who found out they were accidentally switched at birth, have decided to stay with the families that raised them. DNA tests revealed they had been sent home from the maternity hospital with the wrong parents 12 years ago. Anya and Irina were born minutes apart in 1999 in the same ward and were accidentally given the wrong name tags. They grew up within close distance of each other in the town of Kopeisk, eastern Russia, and were unaware of their true identities. The case only came to light when Yuri Belyaeva, the ex-husband of Yuliya Belyaeva, refused to pay child support because his darker-skinned daughter, Irina, did not look like him.
The truth was revealed after two DNA tests showed that not only was he not biologically related to Irina, but neither was his ex-wife. [See also: Can mums really have it all?] Once the mix up was uncovered, the local police tracked down the couple’s real daughter, Anya, who had been raised by Irina’s biological parents across town.

A pregnant learner driver sat her driving test during labour, passed it, then drove herself to hospital to give birth to her first child.
Emma French, 20, of Livingston, Scotland, was so determined to pass the test that she even endured four contractions while behind the wheel. Her waters had broken at 4am on 30 August - four hours before she was due to take her second 45-minute-long driving test. Despite hiding being in labour from the examiner, with contractions just 10 minutes apart, Miss French passed with just 10 minor faults. After the test, she drove to her grandparents’ house to break the good news about the labour and the test - refusing a lift to hospital from them. By the time she reached hospital, she was three centimetres dilated and six hours later gave birth to 5lb 1oz baby Eva.
“I didn't dare tell the examiner in case he made me cancel the test. “The nurses in the hospital were confused because I was getting congratulation cards for my baby and my driving test. Technology: Control Your Computer With Your Mind. Star Trek, here we come! Now you can control your computer with your mind. This isn’t a future technology; it’s here now. EPOC recently released a brain-reading headset that, when combined with the EmoLens app, can detect your emotions; thus controling your computer.
Right now, the primary application for this would be tagging photos. For example, if you are feeling happy, it tags the photos with the word happy. If you look at a photo that doesn’t make you happy, it tags it with the emotion you are feeling. If you aren’t in the mood to use your emotions to control your computer, you can also use a series of movements including blinking, shaking your head or concentrating. Of course, there are limitations at this stage in the development. Via: [Ubergizmo] [Technabob] 20 Things You Didn’t Know About... Stress | Health & Medicine.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — "Paranormal Activity 3" didn't just go bump in the night. It made a ton of noise at the box office with a record-setting, $54 million opening. The third film in Paramount Pictures' low-budget fright franchise, which was No. 1 at the box office, had the biggest debut ever for a horror movie, according to Sunday studio estimates.
It broke the previous record part two set a year ago with $40.7 million. It's also the biggest opening ever for an October release, topping the $50.35 million Paramount's "Jackass 3D" made last year. "Paranormal Activity 3" is actually a prequel, with the discovery of disturbing home-movie footage from 1988. Don Harris, Paramount's president of distribution, said the studio hoped part three would simply perform better than part two. Harris believes this installment did so well because it's actually the best movie of the three. "Ultimately, it gets back to why there's still a theatrical business, why people still go to the movies," Harris said.

Homes Under 1k – The Ugliest Housing Markets in the US. What happened to gut the housing market so dramatically? Throughout the nation, financial decline in industry has destroyed housing prices in geographic centers of those industries. You can credit the big three automakers—or “small three”—with the most dramatic and largest geographic area of decline. The Rust Belt, once home to steel mills and plants associated with MoTown, has plummeted in population. As the automaking and steel industries declined, the Rust Belt paid the price. Other industries across the nation are also feeling the pinch. When the industries decline, jobs dry up and homeowners either move away or lose their homes to foreclosure.
