New Research Confirms There Is No Credible Link Between Issues
Washington, D.C.-In a new effort to dispel the long running issue that some people believe that the vaccination for measles causes autism or contribute to Autism risks Columbia University researchers recently conducted a new study.
Their new study of the Measles mumps and rubella vaccine, or MMR vaccine proves that there is no more risk to those individuals that take MMR vaccine than people who do not.
Parent advocates for Autistic children and their families remain unconvinced, they believe that people who have had the MMR vaccine have given birth at times to severely autistic children and they hold the vaccine as the culprit.
However, the researchers affiliated with the Mailman School of Public Health Center for Infection and Immunity located at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons are also convinced that the MMR vaccine has no link to autism at all.
The researchers looked for any links or connections between autism and people that had received the MMR vaccine in the past, or boosters as adults, and found none.
It comes as a blow to Autism activists who feel that the rug has been yanked out from under them, and that the scientific community will not listen to their concerns.
The study looked at the two different issues and tried to find common areas or links between the two, and could not.
The new study is being published on the Internet in the Public Library Of Science journal.
Top Statistician Says You Cant Discount Higher Risks With Vytorin
Seattle, WA- There have been a number of different news reports recently that have said that there is no credible risk for patients that are taking Vytorin and those patients that have reported cancers, while taking Vytorin.
Despite these other reports, a Top cancer researcher and statistician is saying that you cannot rule out increased risk for patients that use Vytorin.
In a new study that is being revealed in the New England Journal of Medicine, researcher Thomas Fleming of the University of Washington says that there are clinically important increases that cannot be rule out by the current data.
Fleming argues that the risk of Vytorin and cancer death should have been kept quiet, and studied without the inflammatory risk of every patient on Vytorin becoming alarmed and experiencing high levels of anxiety.
The clear evidence about Vytorin is contaminated by media and public attention, and Fleming feels that the safety and efficacy of the drug is not going to be easy to study or solve.
The study of the drug should have been done under strict controls and with the normal institutional sharing but not sharing about risks with the cancer process with the patients and general public until those risks have been validates..
Dr. Fleming and his new editorial spell trouble for the makers of Vytorin, and the overall success of the drug. The cancer risk rumor continue to plague the drugs, and sales, once robust have been easing off in the face of the cancer link rumors.
Common Plastic Shows Increased Monkey Health Risk
New Haven, CT- One of the chemicals that can be found in everyday plastic has been shown in new research to cause health risks to monkeys and primates.
Researchers at Yale University have shown that there is a link to a chemical that can cause brain function disruption in primates and monkeys.
This is the first time that conclusive evidence has been presented that links BPA, or Bisphenol A with actual laboratory research.
Many people were thrown into a high level of anxiety when rumors of plastics such as polycarbonate and other plastics were said to had BPA levels that were harmful to man a few months ago.
In the end, these plastics were found to not have contaminants or chemicals in high enough dose to cause the need for recall, even though research continues.
But this new research deals with research showing that BPA and plastic containing it may has small amounts of effects that could affect human and primate brain function.
There is now currently a high level of uncertainty about the small amounts of BPA and whether or not it could actually in reality be harmful according to the new study results.
The study from the students and professors at Yale University comes at a time when controversy about the efficacy of plastics and plastics containing BPA are under the spotlight.
Many people with young children are now much more aware, and they are voting with their pocketbooks, not choosing to buy products with BPA in their plastics for products for their children.
Approval And Enterprise Adoption Will Likely Take A Long Time
New York City- Despite their long successful search engine history, Google Inc, the makers of the new web browser “Chrome,” face a long road before their web browser is likely to face enterprise adoption.
It’s early and the Chrome browser has only just been released, and people are slow to change and suddenly use another browser.
IT Administrators are wary of new kids on the computer block as new browsers such as Chrome are unproven factors, and no one knows how well they will or will not respond.
Companies are also notorious in being slow to adopt new products, so in many ways the Chrome browser has a long road of acceptance and having to prove to the Computer and IT world that it is ready for action.
Google has released the browser, and they hope that it will do battle eventually with the top of the block IE Internet Explorer version 8, the latest release from Microsoft.
But most people in the industry are saying it will be a number of years before Chrome poses any real threat to Microsoft or to other browsers on the marketplace such as Safari and Firefox.
Both of these other browsers have also faced long acceptance journeys and both are slowly coming into the public consciousness.
Links such as the Firefox link with online magazines through the iPhone program have helped gain some market share and there are other such links that may eventually prove key to Chrome gaining the acceptance that Google is shooting for.
But Microsoft And Sony Look For Ways To Unseat Sales King
Japan- For a long time Microsoft and Sony led the pack, with their Xbox and Playstation game systems and games, but Nintendo was crafty, and focused on their new Wii system, and games, and slowly wrestled market share and sales leadership from the two long time game leaders.
With its new Rhythm Tengoku Gold hitting store shelves, Nintendo has again returned to the number one sales chart position in Japan, and is potentially headed there around the world.
The highest new entry at number two on the sales chart is the much delayed Sony Afrika for their Playstation 3 game system, but it is not coming close to the type of sales numbers enjoyed by Nintendo and “Gold.”
The “Gold,” game will be known as Rhythm Heaven when sold in North America and Europe, and it has already sold in advance sales close to 76,000 units to date.
The entry by Capcom comes in at number four, Fate/Tiger Colosseum Upper for the PSP game system. It is based on the PC model and Playstation 2 game level graphics, but for a game of this type is selling moderately well.
The capcom game is bases on a erotic visual novel called Fate/Stay.
Each of the new game entrants work hard to try and achieve the kind of numbers that the Nintendo Wii has accomplished in the last year, but so far no one has been able to even come close to those type of sale level figures.
Overheating And Even Minor Burns Have Been Reported
Japan- The Sony Corporation has announced the recall of Sony Vaio TZ series notebooks, noting that there is a risk of overheating and a slight threat to health for those users that have purchased the notebook.
The notebooks are excellent products, according to Sony, but they have at times “irregularly situated wires,” that in certain cases and under certain conditions can cause a short circuit, and the build up of heat.
The TZ series of the Vaio notebooks has sold fairly well, and it has been one of the more popular brand logos and product lines that are offered by Sony.
The Vaio line has helped identify Sony and is known around the world as a rule for its quality and workmanship.
Sony has said that it is not all of the TZ Vaio line that has issues, but that enough of the laptops have had problems with their cable and wire locations and heat build up that Sony decided on the recall.
Included in the Vaio TZ line recall are the VGN-TZ100, VGN-TZ200, VGN-TZ300 and the VGN-TZ2000 series, all with the expanded and enhanced 11.1 inch screens.
The USA Consumer product safety commission has said to owners of these laptops that they should cease usage of them and stop plugging them in, and to contact Sony immediately for instructions on how to return these defective
Sony says they will take care to make sure all owners of the TZ laptops are compensated, either with a replacement or other consideration.

New York - Ne-Yo has been awarded over US$700,000 after he was dropped from a tour with R. Kelly.
Ne-Yo claims he was yanked from the tour last year because everyone preferred his performance over R. Kelly’s.
Promoter Leonard Rowe gave a statement following Ne-Yo’s departure from the tour, saying, “It was decided that in the best interest of all involved, since I was unable to receive the fully executed contract, I had no other alternative but to release Ne-Yo from the tour. From a business perspective, it would have been extremely difficult for me to continue under this cloud of uncertainty.”
Ne-Yo sued in January and last week the court ordered a Georgia based Entertainment Company to pay Ne-yo for his touring damages.
