4. "The United Nations recommends that a city
of this size have 4,000 officers," he says. "But
I only have 1,000."
5. Americans are well aware of Mexico's drug
war and the horrific violence that takes place
a stone's throw away from the United States.
6. Almost every murder in these Central
American countries goes unsolved. The
impunity rate -- the rate of serious crimes
that go unsolved -- is extremely
high, estimated by the United Nations to be
98% in Guatemala.
7. The laws are there because of Brazilian
football’s bloody record. One report in 2009
put Brazil at the top of the league for deaths
as a result of violence in football - with 42 in
a decade. Lawmakers are doing what they can
to drop down that particular scoreboard.
8. The twisted tale of Zuckerberg vs. Zuckerberg
started after Zuckerberg, formerly
Guez, launched a Like Store that sold
Facebook "likes" to companies, a transaction
that violates the social networking site's
policies.
9. First, Zuckerberg, formerly Guez, sued Facebook
over its failure to return his "hacked" profile.
Next, a lawyer from Perkins Coie representing
Facebook wrote a letter to Zuckerberg, then
Guez, in September, warning him to "immediately
stop your activities." The lawyer asked
Zuckerberg to confirm before Sept. 5, 2011 that
he had "stopped and will not in the future access
Facebook's site, services, platform, or network
for any reason whatsoever," among other
stipulations.
10. In early December, Guez claimed he officially
changed his name to Mark Zuckerberg and
has posted pictures of his ID card and
passport to prove it. He also recorded a video
that he says documents his visit to the
Ministry of Home Affairs to change his name.
11. (CNN) -- The breaking of plates may be a
popular tradition practiced in his
homeland, but Cypriot tennis player Marcos
Baghdatis has just taken the pastime to a
whole new level.
12. Baghdatis' antics have drawn analysis from
sporting commentators and fellow tennis
players alike, including five-time Australian
Open women's champion Serena Williams.
13. "I've never done that. That's
impressive, wow," she said in an interview on
the Australian Open Website.
14. "Considering the fact that I lost two games
the whole match, I think I've played
really, really well," Djokovic
said, australianopen.com reported.
15. CNN's "Narco Wars" focuses on Honduras and
Guatemala because these two countries have
become the key corridor for cocaine coming to
the United States from South America. This has
coincided with a dramatic spike in homicide
rates, according to the United Nations. In
Honduras, homicides have more than doubled
between 2005 and 2010, the United Nations
reports. As a result, the U.S. Peace Corps last
weekend pulled more than 150 of its volunteers
out of Honduras while it reviews the security
situation there.
16. Oprah Winfrey has made a career, and a
fortune, plugging self-awareness on her talk
show and her new TV network. Her interview
style is deeply personal, confessional even.
She likes to share, open up, and be frank
about her own life in the course of speaking
to others.
17. The Senate had been scheduled to hold a
proceedural vote next week on whether to
take up the Protect IP Act (PIPA) -- a bill that

recent events."

20. They're one of the most important parts of
our body when it comes to day-to-day
activities; without them we couldn't cut

age spots recount our personal history but
mystics all the way back to prehistory have
"read" our futures in their lines and whorls.
21. But what if your hands could say more about you
than that? What if, looking down at your palms
and the five digits attached to them, you could
discover early signs of dangerous diseases you
didn't yet know you had? "It used to be common
for doctors to look at the hands for important
clues to overall health," says endocrinologist
Kenneth Blanchard of Newton, Massachusetts.
"We need to get back to that, because hands can
tell you a great deal about
circulation, hormones, and thyroid function.“
22. Here are seven important clues your hands can
reveal about your overall health.
1. Blotchy red palms: In the short term, red
palms might mean you gripped the shovel too
hard when you planted tomatoes, hand-washed a
few too many delicates, or grabbed the teakettle
a few moments too soon. But if your palms
remain reddened over a long period of time, this
may be a condition called palmar
erythema, which is a sign of liver
disease, particularly of cirrhosis and nonalcoholic
fatty liver. (One exception: If you're pregnant, red
palms are normal, because increased blood flow
causes redness in more than half of expecting
women.)
23. Why? Inflammation of the liver gradually
begins to impair its function, so it's no longer
able to flush waste products out of the body
as efficiently, Blanchard says. The result is an
excess of circulating hormones, which in turn
cause the blood vessels in the hands and feet
to dilate, making them visible through the
skin.
24. What to do: Get evaluated for other
symptoms of liver disease, which include
swollen legs and abdomen, prominent veins
on the upper torso and abdomen, and
fatigue. Show your doctor your hands and
feet and ask for liver function tests. The most
common tests for liver function are a bilirubin
count and a liver enzyme count.

34. A: Oh hello. Nice to see you again. Did you
have a good holiday? I was planning to ring
you up to ask you about it.
B: Yes, it was lovely. We had to set off really
early because the plane took off at 6 a.m. But
then we were on the beach in the sun by
lunchtime.
A: Great! And what did you do most days?
B: Well, we usually slept in. It was very nice
not having to get up early. And then we
stayed up late at night, going out to discos
and nightclubs. During the day, we usually lay
on the beach or looked round the town.

Quite likely you have no idea what is going
on, and it's not like you're going to ask. If it
hasn't been disclosed to you, then it's literally
none of your business. What's more, your
badge, which got you into particular areas before
the new construction, no longer works in those
places. All you can surmise is that a new, highly
secretive project is under way, and you are not in
the know. End of story.
45. The appearance is collegiate, but good luck
auditing a class. Unlike Google's famously and
ridiculously named "Googleplex,"
The call also revealed that netbooks --
essentially small, low-powered laptops -- now
represent just 2% of the PC market. A year
ago, they comprised 8%.
46. The Microsoft unit with the strongest sales
remains the business software division, which
includes Microsoft Office and other software.
The sector accounted for $6.28 billion of the
company's revenue, though it gained only 3%
over the year.
So the United States deported many of these
gang members back to Central America. As a
result, Mara Salvatrucha and 18th
Street, originally from Los Angeles, became
Central American gangs.
