Sleeping with the light on could leave you in a dark mood the next day, scientists have warned. They say that night light – however dim – may affect the structure of the brain, raising the odds of depression. The eerie glow emitted by a TV or the seemingly reassuring presence of a night light, could be enough to impact on mental health. The warning, presented at a leading American conference, is the latest in a long line about the potential dangers of disrupting the body’s natural sleep-wake cycle. There are concerns that shift workers are at higher risk of breast cancer and, only last month, a study linked night time light with weight gain. With complete darkness being hard to achieve in the modern world, the researchers say the findings could have serious implications for health. In the latest study, researchers from Ohio State University, looked at the effect of exposing rodents to dim light in the eight hours or so they would usually be asleep. At the equivalent of having a television on in a darkened room, the lamp used was not bright, but it was enough to affect the animals’ behaviour, the Society for Neuroscience’s annual conference heard. One depression test measured how much sugared water the creatures mice drank, with a lack of interest in the sweet treat signalling a change in mood. Overall, those exposed to the dim light at night showed more symptoms of depression compared to the hamsters in the standard light-dark cycle.

These £10,000 miniature replicas of a Jaguar E-Type and a Porsche Speedster are perfect for squeezing into the tightest of parking spaces – and can still reach pretty impressive top speeds of 46 miles per hour. The tiny cars, which are half the size of the original, took over 450 hours to make and come with a 110cc petrol engine or an electric motor. Engineering firm Pocket Classics also makes ‘tribute’ versions of the Mercedes 300SL, Willys Jeep and Bugatti Type-35. A full size Bugatti would cost up to £1.5 million and the others could set you back £200,000 each but these handmade miniatures are priced between £6,995 and £9,995. Their makers claim they are designed to be the ‘best toy in the world’ and, at 7ft 6ins long and 3ft wide, they are just big enough for an adult to drive. The replicas are fully serviceable and most come with working lights, horn, indicators, adjustable seats and disc brakes.(MailOnline)

Shoppers are set spend a record $1billion on the biggest Cyber Monday ever when it kicks off tomorrow. Almost nine in 10 retailers will be offering discounts for the online equivalent of Black Friday in an effort to lure consumers into loosening their purse strings. Some $887million was spent last year in an Internet frenzy and this year analysts expect the total to be even higher. Figures for online sales over the holiday weekend have already seen a significant rise compared to last year.(MailOnline)

NUEVA YORK (AP) – Para unos es una palabrota y para otros no tanto. Puede ser soltada con indiferencia o con ira. Puede expresar gozo, frustración o indignación en las calles de muchos países latinoamericanos y barrios hispanos en Estados Unidos. Un maestro de una escuela pública en la ciudad de Nueva York entabló una demanda contra la municipalidad luego de ser suspendido y multado con 15.000 dólares tras ser acusado de decir “coño” en su aula en Manhattan. Los funcionarios escolares dicen que la palabra es inapropiada y acusan a Carlos García de conducta impropia. El abogado de García alega que su cliente nunca pronunció la palabra en el aula. Sin embargo, el abogado de la municipalidad estuvo de acuerdo con la decisión del funcionario que impuso la suspensión y la multa. Nueva York es hogar de miles de inmigrantes latinoamericanos. Palabras que son consideradas una palabrota fuerte por algunos grupos étnicos o nacionalidades son de uso mucho más común por otros.

Deputies say the man also hit the officer in the leg as he was being handcuffed.

Some days it seems as though its impossible to escape the “Jersey Shore” cast. They’ve gone “Dancing With the Stars” and started tweeting with senators. They’ve posed in GQ and started clothing lines. And though the second season of the show just finished its run a few months ago, a new one is already in the offing. Fist-pumping fans get ready: The Situation, Snooki and the rest are set to start a new round of negotiations for the show’s next season,reports the New York Post. According the the Post, the producers would like to shoot the new season in Miami, the setting for the second season. Production would start next spring and the show runners want to make sure they’re able to secure the entire cast. But a possible snag is that many of the cast members may want spinoffs of their own, reports the Post. The reality stars and MTV squared off this summer over contracts, with the cast threatening a hold out if their demands were not met.(NBC)

The Miami Hurricanes need a coach, but whether ESPN analyst and Super Bowl-winning coach Jon Gruden will fill the spot remains to be seen. A report from Sports Journey Broadcast Network’s Lake Lewis early Sunday had the former Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach joining Miami for $3 million per year, but by late Sunday night, Fanhouse was reporting that a close friend of Gruden’s was calling the report “ridiculous.” The Sun-Sentinel reported Sunday that Gruden wants the job and had “initiated contact” with UM, and later the AP reported that Gruden had received “parameters” of an offer from the school. Gruden, who will be working the Cardinals-49ers game tonight for ESPN, released a statement through the network Sunday. “I am committed to Monday Night Football and to ESPN,” Gruden said in the statement. “I enjoy working with Mike, Jaws and our entire crew and am just trying to get better at this job.” Head coach Randy Shannon was fired Saturday night following Miami’s heartbreaking 23-20 overtime loss to South Florida. The loss dropped the Canes to 7-5.”I am proud of the last four years at the University of Miami and what we have been able to accomplish,” Shannon said in a statement. “I have a deep respect and appreciation for the young men who have played here during my tenure.” UM athletic director said dropping Shannon was a tough decision but it had to be made. ”Better days are ahead. Great days are ahead for this program,” Hocutt said.

Alicia Keys and Lady Gaga take charity work seriously, and they’re going offline to prove it. Gaga, Justin Timberlake, Usher and other celebrities have joined a new campaign called Digital Life Sacrifice on behalf of Keys’ charity, Keep a Child Alive. The entertainers plan to sign off of social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter on Wednesday, which is World AIDS Day. The participants will sign back on when the charity raises $1 million. ”It’s really important and super-cool to use mediums that we naturally are on,” Keys said in a phone interview from New York last week. For the campaign – which also includes Jennifer Hudson, Ryan Seacrest, Kim and Khloe Kardashian, Elijah Wood, Serena Williams, Janelle Monae and Keys’ husband, Swizz Beatz – celebrities have filmed “last tweet and testament” videos and will appear in ads showing them lying in coffins to represent what the campaign calls their digital deaths. ”It’s so important to shock you to the point of waking up,” Keys said. “It’s not that people don’t care or it’s not that people don’t want to do something, it’s that they never thought of it quite like that.” The campaign, she said, puts the disease in perspective. ”This is such a direct and instantly emotional way and a little sarcastic, you know, of a way to get people to pay attention,” said Keys, who has more than 2.6 million followers on Twitter.The foundation, which began in 2003, will accept donations through text messages and bar-code technology, which is featured in the charity’s Buy Life campaign.
