Does Popular 'Male Enhancement' Pill Enzyte Really Work?
You've heard about Bob, the pitch man for Enzyte, one of the world's most popular over the counter erection aids. So does is the "lift" that Bob gets from Enzyte real? Doctors Jennifer Anger and Marty Gelbard are both assistant professors of urology at UCLA, and they say Enzyte's claims are misleading.
"There's no medical data to support any of those claims," said Dr. Anger.
The supplement is sold in stores and on the Internet, where the site says it: "can give you a lifetime of stronger, firmer, easier to achieve erections." Enzyte contains horny goat weed, niacin, flush, zinc, and L-arginine, an amino acid. What do the experts think about those ingredients?"
"Niacin has been shown to increase blood flow but there's no data showing these things will increase the size of the penis," explained Dr.
Toughen product safety regulations
FEWER of you are buying toys this shopping season due to the recent spate of product-safety scares. In an online poll conducted Oct. 9-15 of 2,565 adults in the United States, 33 percent of respondents said they will shy away from buying toys this year; 45 percent vowed to avoid toys made in China. That's going to be tough, considering 80 percent of all toys sold in the United States are manufactured in China. Parents are right to be scared, after numerous recalls this year of toys made in China that contain high levels of lead paint and other toxic or dangerous materials. Earlier this month, millions of Aqua Dots, a popular arts and crafts kit, were recalled after beads in it were found to have a toxic coating. More precautions are needed to keep dangerous toys away from children.

Local martial arts master on Discovery Channel
With televised cage matches and scores of professional fight leagues, mixed martial arts stands as one of the most popular and exciting sports to follow these days. Audio Slideshow: Charles Gaylord But what we see now probably wouldn't have been possible if it weren't for guys like Great Grandmaster Charles Gaylord, who brought mixed martial arts from Hawaii where the art form was created to the mainland and introduced it to the rest of the world. Back in his day, though, when it was just about street fighting, there were no cameras, no corporate sponsorships, no cages. Just survival skills. "In the street, there are no rules," he said. "But a poke in the eye, a chop in the throat, putting a guy out at one vital area, you can't do that (in the professional mixed martial arts world) because there are rules." More than 40 years after Gaylord first arrived in the Bay Area and began in San Leandro teaching kajukenbo, the world's first mixed martial art, he and the art he helped cultivate are finally getting their due.
Salmond: Scotland independent in 10 years
Despite "tighter financial times", he said the new administration would still provide "record levels of investment in public services and fairer, lower taxes for Scottish families and business". The economic strategy document states that, by 2017, the Scottish Government wants to close the employment gap with the top five OECD economies and to match European population growth - equating to about 150,000 more people. The strategy sets a target of increasing overall income by 2017 and increasing the share of income going to the lowest 30 per cent of earners. The gap between Scotland's best and worst-performing regions should narrow by 2017, and emissions should fall by 80 per cent by 2050. Iain McMillan, CBI Scotland's director, said: "There is much in the new economic strategy we support, particularly the ambitious growth objectives and commitment to put the needs of the economy at the heart of everything the devolved government does." But he said business was opposed to plans to devolve employment, competition and immigration policy, saying: "These are best left at UK level, providing firms with a level playing field and single market across the UK." Grahame Smith, the TUC general secretary, said it was "helpful to have a single strategy setting direction for the Scottish Government, local government, the enterprise networks and other agencies".
