Potential role of 'love hormone' oxytocin in brain function revealed

[unable to retrieve full-text content]Researchers have deciphered how oxytocin, acting as a neurohormone in the brain, not only reduces background noise, but more importantly, increases the strength of desired signals. These findings may be relevant to autism, which affects one in 88 children in the United States.

Mike Dean Confirms "Watch The Throne 2" In Twitter Conversation (@therealmikedean @hudmo)

Jul 06, 2013 | 1:30 PM??? Written By: Pierce Watson

Hip Hop fans were blessed with a new Kanye West album and a new Jay-Z album in less than three weeks of each other, but there's no need to feel like the excitement is over. In a conversation with producer Hudson Mohawke, legendary beatmaker Mike Dean spilled the beans about a sequel to 'Watch The Throne.' Apparently, the album is already underway.

Mohawke was feeling sour about Hov's decision to pass over his beats for "Magna Carta Holy Grail," when he received a tweet from Mike Dean warning him about burning bridges. In the tweet, Dean tells Mohawke not to burn his bridge for 'Watch The Throne 2,' which sent the internet into spaz mode.

Hudson responded to Dean's tweet, "you just set the internet on fire w that wtt2 comment hahaaa."

Who knows when we'll see this project, but it's at least exciting knowing that it's coming. Check out the conversation between Mike Dean and Hudson Mohawke above.

Asiana airplane crashes at San Francisco airport

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) ? An Asiana Airlines flight from Seoul, South Korea, crashed while landing at San Francisco International Airport on Saturday, forcing passengers to jump down the emergency inflatable slides to safety. There were early reports of injuries, but the extent wasn't immediately clear.

Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Laura Brown said Flight 214 crashed while landing at 11:26 PDT. A video clip posted to YouTube showed smoke coming from a jet on the tarmac. Passengers could be seen jumping down the emergency slides.

Television footage showed the top of the fuselage was burned away and the entire tail was gone. One engine appeared to have broken away. Pieces of the tail were strewn about the runway. Emergency responders could be seen walking inside the burned-out wreckage.

It wasn't immediately clear what happened to the plane as it was landing, but some eyewitnesses described the aircraft doing a cartwheel and other said that it appeared to sway back and forth kicking up dust. Many said the tail fell off.

Stephanie Turner saw the plane going down and the rescue slides deploy, but returned to her hotel room before seeing any passengers get off the jet, she told ABC News. Turner said when she first saw the flight she noticed right away that the angle of its approach seemed strange.

"It didn't manage to straighten out before hitting the runway," she said. "So the tail of the plane hit the runway, and it cartwheeled and spun and the tail broke off ... I mean we were sure that we had just seen a lot of people die. It was awful.

"And it looked like the plane had completely broken apart," she said. "There were flames and smoke just billowing."

Kate Belding was out jogging just before 11:30 a.m. on a path the water from the airport when she noticed the plane approaching the runway in a way that "just didn't look like it was coming in quite right."

"Then all of a sudden I saw what looked like a cloud of dirt puffing up and then there was a big bang and it kind of looked like the plane maybe bounced (as it neared the ground)," she said. "I couldn't really tell what happened, but you saw the wings going up and (in) a weird angle."

"Not like it was cartwheeling," she said, but rather as though the wings were almost swaying from side to side.

Doug Yakel, a spokesman for the airport, said he did not yet know how many passengers were aboard the flight. "We also don't have any information at this time to the status of those passengers," he said at a brief news conference.

Rachael Kagan, a spokeswoman for San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center, told KCBS radio in San Francisco that 10 passengers had been taken to the hospital ? two children and eight adults, all in critical condition.

A call to the airline seeking comment wasn't immediately returned.

The National Transportation Safety Board said it was sending a team of investigators to San Francisco to probe the crash. NTSB spokeswoman Kelly Nantel said Saturday that NTSB Chairman Deborah Hersman would head the team.

Boeing said it was preparing to provide technical assistance to the NTSB.

Numerous flights headed to San Francisco were diverted to other airports. A United Airlines flight bound for San Francisco was sent to Los Angeles airport, and passengers were told the San Francisco airport would be closed for at least three hours Saturday afternoon.

Asiana is a South Korean airline, second in size to national carrier Korean Air. It has recently tried to expand its presence in the United States, and joined the Star Alliance, which is anchored in the U.S. by United Airlines.

The 777-200 is a long-range plane from Boeing. The twin-engine aircraft is one of the world's most popular long-distance planes, often used for flights of 12 hours or more, from one continent to another. The airline's website says its 777s can carry between 246 to 300 passengers.

The flight was 10 hours and 23 minutes, according to FlightAware, a flight tracking service. The aircraft is configured to seat 295 passengers, it said.

The Boeing 777 is a smaller, wide-body jet that can travel long distances without refueling and is typically used for long flights over water.

The most notable accident involving a 777 occurred on Jan. 17, 2008 at Heathrow Airport in London. British Airways Flight 28 landed hard about 1,000 feet short of the runway and slid onto the start of the runway. The impact broke the 777-200's landing gear. There were 47 injuries, but no fatalities.

An investigation revealed ice pellets that had formed in the fuel were clogging the fuel-oil heat exchanger, blocking fuel from reaching the plane's engines. The Rolls-Royce Trent 800 series engines that were used on the plane were then redesigned.

Bill Waldock, an expert on aviation accident investigation, said he was reminded of the Heathrow accident as he watched video of Saturday's crash. "Of course, there is no indication directly that's what happened here," he said. "That's what the investigation is going to have to find out."

The Asiana 777 "was right at the landing phase and for whatever reason the landing went wrong," said Waldock, director of the Embry-Riddle University accident investigation laboratory in Prescott, Ariz. "For whatever reason, they appeared to go low on approach and then the airplane pitched up suddenly to an extreme attitude, which could have been the pilots trying to keep it out of the ground."

The last time a large U.S. airline lost a plane in a fatal crash was an American Airlines Airbus A300 taking off from John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York in 2001.

Smaller airlines have had crashes since then. The last fatal U.S. crash was a Continental Express flight operated by Colgan Air, which crashed into a house near Buffalo, N.Y. on Feb. 12, 2009. The crash killed all 49 people on board and one man in a house.

Flying remains one of the safest forms of transportation: There are about two deaths worldwide for every 100 million passengers on commercial flights, according to an Associated Press analysis of government accident data.

Just a decade ago, passengers were 10 times as likely to die when flying on an American plane. The risk of death was even greater during the start of the jet age, with 1,696 people dying ? 133 out of every 100 million passengers ? from 1962 to 1971. The figures exclude acts of terrorism.

But airline crashes remain in the public's memory much longer than a wreck on the side of the road. Flying isn't natural and crashes involve many fatalities, often accompanied with horrifying images.

Those in the airline industry often say that you are more likely to die driving to the airport than on your flight. There are more than 30,000 motor-vehicle deaths each year, a mortality rate eight times greater than that in planes.

There are still some corners of the world where flying is risky. Russia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Somalia have particularly high rates of deadly crashes. But America, Europe and Asia ? with the exception of a few low-cost carriers ? have remained very safe.

Asia remains one of the fastest-growing regions for aviation in the world. Even with slowing economies in Japan and China, airlines there saw 3.7 percent more passengers than a year ago, according to the International Air Transport Association.

Finding enough experienced pilots to meet a growing number of flights is becoming a problem.

A 2012 report by aircraft manufacturer Boeing said the industry would need 460,000 new commercial airline pilots in the next two decades ? with 185,000 of them needed in Asia alone.

"The Asia-Pacific region continues to present the largest projected growth in pilot demand," the report said.

Dwight Howard tweets that he'll sign with Rockets

Dwight Howard says he is signing with the Houston Rockets.

The All-Star center posted a message on Twitter on Friday night saying he thought Houston was "the best place for me."

"I am excited about joining the Rockets and I'm looking forward to a great season," he added.

The Lakers confirmed earlier Friday that Howard would be leaving after one season.

"We wish him the best of luck on the remainder of his NBA career," general manager Mitch Kupchak said in a statement.

USA Today first reported earlier Friday that Howard would join the Rockets, where he would join All-Star James Harden to give the Rockets a potentially potent inside-outside combination.

Dallas, Golden State and Atlanta were the other suitors interested in Howard.

Now things get serious at Tour de France

ALBI, France (AP) ? When they sit down late on Saturday afternoon for the ritual they call the "apero" ? meaning nibbles and alcoholic drinks ? the French still won't know who is going to win their beloved Tour de France this year.

They, however, might have a much clearer idea of who won't win it.

Riders who don't have the legs to carry them to victory in Paris, who have been bluffing and pretending to be strong in the first third of the 2,115-mile Tour, could be cruelly exposed on Saturday when the race sharply gains altitude in the Pyrenees mountains where France and Spain meet.

Although the two climbs on the menu aren't the most brutal of this 100th Tour, they're still tough enough to make all but the strongest riders struggle. Just how decisive the ascents prove will depend on how aggressive, ambitious and confident the strongest climbers are feeling. If they want to test overall race favorites Chris Froome and Alberto Contador, or if those two want to test each other, then Stage 8 offers the first real opportunity for them to do so.

"It depends if people want to hold their cards close to their chests or if they want to come out swinging," said American rider Tejay van Garderen. "I expect for them to come out swinging, so there should probably be some big gaps."

Almost certainly, Daryl Impey's second day in the race leader's yellow jersey on Saturday will be his last, at least this year. The first South African to wear that prized shirt doesn't have the uphill bursts of speed to stay with Froome, Contador and other contenders for overall victory should they go at each other like hammer and tongs up to the Col de Pailheres, immediately followed by a slightly less arduous ascent to the Ax 3 Domaines ski station.

Impey is convinced Froome will be wearing yellow in Paris on July 21.

"The climbing ability he's shown, he's definitely nearly in a league of his own. He's obviously a different climber to Contador, but I think Chris is going to be hard to beat."

On a stage that, with the mountains looming, felt like the calm before a storm, Peter Sagan from Slovakia won the finishing sprint Friday in Albi, an enchanting medieval city on the banks of the Tarn river, dominated by its 13th century fortified brick-built Sainte-Cecile Cathedral and listed as a World Heritage site by the United Nations' cultural agency, UNESCO. Impey rode strongly to stay in Sagan's bunch and keep the race lead he inherited from teammate Simon Gerrans on Thursday.

Sagan is running away with the Tour's chase for the green jersey, awarded to the rider who collects most points from sprints at the end of stages and during them. He won that jersey last year, too. Sagan is known both for his speed and versatility as a rider.

He has been all business since the Tour set off from Corsica on June 29. Since he was bloodied in a crash on the first day, Sagan has never finished lower than third in a stage (not including the team time trial on Stage 4) ? with three second places, one third place and now a win on Stage 7. It took the pack up four moderate climbs on a 127.7-mile slog in intense heat from Montpellier.

Assuming Impey surrenders the race lead on Saturday, the 2012 Tour will get its fifth different wearer of the yellow jersey. The record at a single Tour is eight, which happened in both 1958 and 1987.

The 9.5-mile long climb to Pailheres, topping out at an altitude of 6,500 feet is tougher than the shorter ascent to Ax. But that last climb might be more decisive because it comes at the very end of the stage, meaning it could turn into an uphill sprint finish.

"We'll know who has already lost the Tour and the contenders for victory," said Alain Gallopin, a director on the RadioShack-Leopard team. "There'll be no more secrets, no bluff."

RadioShack-Leopard's main contender for overall victory, 2010 winner Andy Schleck, on Friday lamented the team's decision to cut ties with his brother Frank ? the third-place finisher in 2011 who is absent from this Tour because he is completing a one-year ban for testing positive for a diuretic at last year's race.

"I'm sad and disappointed, and if I tell you what I honestly think they might use it against me and fire me as well," Andy Schleck said.

The three-week Tour has now lost 10 of its original 198 starters, with another three dropping out Friday. They included veteran American rider Christian Vande Velde. Riding with back pain and a blood clot in a neck muscle from a crash on Wednesday's Stage 5, the 37-year-old tumbled again, on a bridge.

"I was on top and underneath a lot of people," he said. "I won't be back next year. This was my last Grand Tour. It's not a great way to go."

The Garmin-Sharp rider last year testified to the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency that he took banned performance-enhancers when he rode with Lance Armstrong on the U.S. Postal Service team.

This Tour is the first since Armstrong was last year stripped of his seven Tour titles from 1999-2005 for serial doping.

Palestinian president: Jews should hear Arab view

BEIRUT (AP) ? Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas is reaching out to Jews around the world to listen to the "Arab point of view" on stalled peace talks with Israel.

Abbas said Friday that Jews should hear the Arab position on negotiations, which mirrors Palestinian demands. Palestinians say they will not talk unless Israel stops building Jewish housing in the West Bank and east Jerusalem, which they claim for their future state, along with the Gaza Strip.

Israel insists talks must resume without conditions and that settlements and other issues such as security concerns should be resolved through dialogue. Abbas' comments in Beirut come days after U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry was in the region shuttling between Israeli and Palestinian leaders in an attempt to restart talks that collapsed in 2008.

Nokia 'Eros,' Mars, HTC One Mini and One Max name checked in O2 document

Is the 4.7-inch HTC One not the right size for your hands? Do Nokia's latest Lumia phones not appeal to your design sensibilities? Well, a leaked document from O2 Germany lists four unannounced devices reportedly coming out later this year that just might satisfy your very particular tastes. The HTC One Mini is on there (a 4.3-inch phone we're already well familiar with) as is the One Max, which rumors suggest will have Qualcomm's Snapdragon 800 and a 5.9-inch 1080p display. Moving on to Nokia, there's the "Eros," though that might be a typo for the 41-megapixel "EOS" that's expected to be announced on the 11th. There's also the "Mars," which is the first time we've heard that name. Check out the full list after the break.

AP Photos: New borders threaten Balkan nomads

MOUNT VLASIC, Bosnia-Heregovina (AP) ? They're some of Europe's last nomads ? a hardy group of families who roam from their winter habitat in the Bosnian lowlands to the mountains where they make cheese and shelter in austere cabins.

But their over 2,000-year-old traditions have never been in such peril.

The nomads have dodged wars, minefields and the growth of rural populations, but the break-up of Yugoslavia in the 1990s left them hemmed into one area of Bosnia ? unable to cross the borders of hostile new states. Now, the European Union has brought in neighbor Croatia, and the bloc's strict border controls mean it will make it even more difficult for the nomads to move freely.

Ramo Rubanovic, 48, says his son's generation will hopefully be the last of the nomads.

"I would give 100 sheep right now to the person that gave my son Vahid a steady job somewhere," he says. "I don't want him to suffer like this anymore."

Every spring, the 48-year-old leads his sheep from Bosnia's northern plains to Mount Vlasic in the heart of the country to make salty "Vlasic" cheese. It's so prized that his customers drive up the mountain to get it, and make reservations for huge blocks of the cheese for the next year. He says customers tell him they can smell the meadows each time they take a bite.

Rubanovic, his wife and 19 year-old son get up every morning at 4 a.m. to milk 160 sheep before breakfast. Father and son then head out with the sheep to pasture, while Ramo's wife, Zedina, makes the cheese.

In the past, Ramo and his brothers would herd up to 5,000 sheep and spend winters in northern Serbia or Croatia, near the Hungarian border, where there was so much food that the animals would come back to Bosnia in mid-spring fat. Life was good, with no borders.

"We were cheerful and safe. We could sleep anywhere, go everywhere, sing and drink with people everywhere we went," he says. "But then this damned war came."

Bosnia's 1992-95 war was the bloodiest of all the armed conflicts that erupted during the Yugoslav disintegration. Over 140,000 people were killed and millions displaced. Once free borders became impossible to cross. Rubanovic's world shrank.

When autumn comes, Rubanovic will have to grapple with where he can go with his flock. He can head north, but once he hits the river Sava, he'll have stop because the other side is Croatia. If he heads east, he'll hit the border with longtime enemy Serbia.

Records: Dolan paid some problem priests to leave

MILWAUKEE (AP) ? The archbishop of Milwaukee wrote a letter in 2003 to the Vatican office overseeing clergy sex abuse cases begging it to remove a priest who had repeatedly abused children, showed no remorse and at least once engaged in sexual activity with a young boy, the child's mother and her female friend.

The archdiocese provided the priest with counseling and alcohol abuse treatment, limited his job assignments, eventually ordering him to stop dressing as a priest and barring him from seminary buildings. It only received more reports of abuse.

In 2003, nearly 40 years after some of the earliest reported abuse took place, New York Cardinal Timothy Dolan, who was then archbishop of Milwaukee, sought permission to have the priest, Daniel Budzynski, officially defrocked. Despite the egregiousness of the priest's crimes, the Vatican office in charge of sex abuse cases, then led by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, the future Pope Benedict XVI, took more than a year to formally dismiss him.

The correspondence was made public Monday along with thousands of pages of other documents detailing sex abuse by dozens of priests in the archdiocese covering southeastern Wisconsin. The documents were released as part of a deal reached in federal bankruptcy court between the archdiocese and victims suing it for fraud. Victims have accused the archdiocese of transferring abusive priests to new churches without warning parishioners and covering up their crimes for decades.

The Budzynski case was among at least a half-dozen Dolan inherited when he took over the archdiocese in 2002 amid the growing clergy abuse scandal. It shows some of the difficulty church leaders had in dealing with serial molesters and a church bureaucracy that in many cases sat on pleas for priests' removal for years.

While other church leaders, including Dolan's predecessor, Archbishop Rembert Weakland, have acknowledged they didn't immediately grasp the extent of the problem, Dolan appears to have quickly determined a crisis was in the making. He moved to push out problem priests, even paying them to leave the priesthood, and later acted to protect church assets by transferring $57 million from a cemetery fund into a trust as the archdiocese moved toward bankruptcy.

Victims have accused Dolan of caring more for the church's well-being than theirs, but his letters, such as the one to Ratzinger seeking to defrock Budzynski, show an understanding of the damage done to children.

"The impact on his various victims has been significant," Dolan wrote Ratzinger. "The Archdiocese of Milwaukee has yet to even locate all of the potential victims that could come forward for assistance. Our new found awareness of the severity of damage caused by sexual abuse at the hands of clergy makes it impossible for us to ignore this situation."

Budzynski referred questions to his attorney, Shawn Govern, who said he had no immediate comment.

Victims and their attorneys have accused Dolan of bankruptcy fraud, pointing to a June 2007 letter in which he told a Vatican office that moving the cemetery care money into a trust would provide "an improved protection of these funds from any legal claim and liability."

In a statement, Dolan called any suggestion he was trying to shield money from victims an "old and discredited" attack. Jerry Topczewski, chief of staff for current Archbishop Jerome Listecki, said the money was always set aside in a separate fund for cemetery care and moving it to a trust just formalized that.

Church law requires bishops to seek Vatican approval for any property sale or asset transfer in the millions of dollars. Dolan wrote in the letter that the transfer had been approved by archdiocese's Financial Council and College of Consultors.

The documents also show that Dolan oversaw a plan to pay some abusers to leave the priesthood. They included John O'Brien, who was convicted of fourth-degree sexual assault in 2000 in a case involving a 17-year-old. At least four other victims later came forward.

The archdiocese barred O'Brien from ministry and celebrating Mass. In 2003, it offered him $10,000 if he would voluntarily agree to leave the priesthood and another $10,000 when Vatican officials announced their decision about his future. O'Brien took the deal but was not officially defrocked until 2009. He did not immediately return a telephone message left for comment.

Jeff Anderson, the attorney representing most of the 575 plaintiffs with sex abuse claims in bankruptcy court, said cases like O'Brien's show that the church put predators before children. He and many victims find it especially heinous that the church paid a priest who had already been convicted of a crime, and they fault Dolan for that.

But Topczewski said the archdiocese had adopted the practice of paying priests leaving the priesthood years before Dolan took over. Most of the priests were not accused of wrongdoing, and the money helped them transition into their new lives, he said.

At least three priests accused of sexual abuse received payments when they left the priesthood before Dolan's arrival, according to the documents. Six more left under Dolan, with deals calling for them to receive $20,000 each.

Topczewski said the money covered the men's health care, but it also got "priests out quicker. That's what victims were asking for."

Another case shows just how difficult it was to get rid of priests who wouldn't go voluntarily. John C. Wagner was accused of making advances to students at the University of Wisconsin-Sheboygan when he was in campus ministry in the 1980s. Weakland tried in the 1990s to get Wagner to voluntarily leave the priesthood, but Wagner refused.

In 2005, as settlements with clergy sex abuse victims were piling up, Dolan wrote to the Vatican office in charge of the matter and recommended it kick Wagner out.

"The liability for the Archdiocese is great as is the potential for scandal if it appears that no definitive action has been taken," he warned, adding that. Wagner showed no remorse, and "his only concern has been his financial status."

Dolan said that if the Vatican agreed to dismiss Wagner, an archdiocese fund could pay for his needs until he was eligible for a pension. Dolan didn't receive a response until 2008, when he re-submitted his request along with details of new allegations against Wagner.

Archbishop Angelo Amato responded on behalf of the Vatican office and recommended Dolan ask Wagner to leave voluntarily, which Dolan did. Wagner's attorney rejected the request, saying the $20,000 payment that Dolan offered wouldn't cover the priest's expenses for the two years until his retirement. Wagner wasn't officially defrocked until 2012.

A working telephone number for him could not be found Monday, and he did not immediately respond to an email message.
