Rare uncontacted tribe photographed in Amazon

RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - Amazon Indians from one of the world's last uncontacted tribes have been photographed from the air, with striking images released on Thursday showing them painted bright red and brandishing bows and arrows.

The photographs of the tribe near the border between Brazil and Peru are rare evidence that such groups exist. A Brazilian official involved in the expedition said many of them are in increasing danger from illegal logging.

National signing day and the deadline for underclassmen to enter the NFL draft are behind us. So it's a good time to revise the way-too-early preseason Top 25 for the 2008 college football season. Ohio State, Tennessee and USC moved up. Florida, West Virginia and Michigan moved down. In fact, the Wolverines fell out of the Top 25 after quarterback Ryan Mallett transferred to Arkansas and top QB recruit Terrelle Pryor delayed announcing his college choice.

1. Georgia Bulldogs

Quarterback Matthew Stafford and tailback Knowshon Moreno have Georgia poised to contend for a national championship. But there will be plenty of hurdles. With the annual neutral-site contest against Florida (in Jacksonville) and road games at Arizona State, LSU and Auburn, the Bulldogs will play one of the country's toughest schedules. If they can navigate their way through it with two or fewer losses, the Bulldogs have a chance to play in the BCS title game.

4 Things You Should Never Say to the CEO

If a "nice guy" runs your company, you might be able to say whatever's on your mind in the boardroom and get away with it. But most successful CEOs aren't nice guys -- they're very serious people, often edgy to the point of mania.

Even if you work at a small company with 1 percent of GE's revenue, there are certain verbal blunders you should avoid at all cost:

1. "I'll have to get back to you on that."

In other words, you don't know and didn't do your homework. Welch fired one vice president who gave that answer several times during a presentation.

2. Making fun of a corporate program.

3. Something you find funny.

Skip the jokes, especially at the beginning of a presentation.

4. "That can't be done."

No CEO wants to hear that something he deems important is impossible.

What should you do if the boss wants something that's really off the wall?

"Difficult,

Not impossible.

The 13 Most Overlooked Tax Deductions

Years ago, the head of the IRS told Kiplinger's Personal Finance magazine that he figured millions of taxpayers overpaid their taxes every year by overlooking just one of the money-savers listed below. Claim them if you deserve them ... and cut your tax bill to the bone.

1. State sales taxes.

4. Student loan interest paid by Mom and Dad.

5. Out-of-pocket charitable contributions.

6. Moving expense to take first job.

3. College tuition. You may qualify to deduct up to $4,000 you paid in college tuition in 2007 for yourself, your spouse or a dependent.

2. $250 educators' expenses. Teachers and their aides can deduct up to $250 they spent in 2007 for books and classroom supplies.

7. Military reservists travel expenses.

8. Child-care credit.

9. Estate tax on income in respect of a decedent.

10. State tax you paid last spring.

11. Refinancing points.

12. Reinvested dividends.

13. Jury pay paid to employer.

Negative Calorie Foods: 15 Foods That Actually Burn More Calories Than They Contain

Oranges

Strawberries

Carrots

Apricots

Lettuce

Tomatoes

So no matter how you look at it, you’ll come out ahead.

King of the rats weighed one tonne

PARIS (AFP) - Fossil hunters have uncovered the greatest rodent that ever lived -- a one-tonne behemoth that bestrode the swamplands of South America some four million years ago.

The newly-identified species is the greatest-known member of the order Rodentia and by comparison makes the biggest rodent alive today, the 60-kilo (132-pound) capybara, look like a pygmy shrew.

Measuring a whopping 53 centimetres (21 inches), the skull has massive incisors several centimetres long.

Doctors Remove Woman's 10-Pound Hairball

15-Inch-Long Mass Had To Be Surgically Removed

Doctors have removed a 10-pound hairball from the stomach of an 18-year-old woman, the New England Journal of Medicine reported last week.

The woman had gone to the doctor because of vomiting, abdominal pain and weight loss. Doctors said she also suffered from a condition called trichophagia, or the compulsive eating of hair.

The Chicago doctors surgically removed the 15-inch-long, 7-inch-wide mass, which was taking up most of the room in her stomach.

The journal reports that a year after surgery, the woman is pain-free and no longer eating her hair.

17 Uses for a Tennis Ball (Besides Tennis)

Tennis balls: Little. Yellow. Useful.

Many household items have earned a spot in the ultimate do-it-yourself toolbox: duct tape, vinegar, lemon juice, aluminum foil, wire hangers; but there's one multi-task tool that many people might overlook: the tennis ball.

To prove my point, here are 17 helpful tips to make a tennis ball serve you (as opposed to the other way around):

Scuff-free chairs

Super screwdriver

Hammer lightly

Pop the end of your hammer through an "X" in a tennis ball to create a hitting instrument that is less likely to ding up fragile or expensive wood.

Bottle opener

Cut a tennis ball in half, and use one of the sides to open those stubborn pickle jars.

Walkers

Trailer hitch cover

Garage wall proximity detector

Secret storage

Dog toy

Dryer fluffers

Free weights

Remove cobwebs from hard-to-reach places

Strengthen your grip

Door jamb tricker

Sand curves

Give yourself a back massage

Pool cleaners

Over time, the tennis balls will absorb the oil, leaving your pool fresh and oil-free.

The extension reviewed here is one of the ones that we simply couldn't live without.

That's where Clipmarks comes in. Whether you want to save to a file, to a shared clipping website with a Digg-alike rating system, or to print. All you do is click on a toolbar button and move your mouse around the screen as various page elements get boxed in - one click and they're all clipped. Best yet, you can compile multiple clips from multiple pages and save them when you're ready. We find it works best when you want to print information from multiple pages or sites, but only that which is pertinent.

Teen trades hacked iPhone for new car

Teen trades hacked iPhone for new car

SAN FRANCISCO - The teenage hacker who managed to unlock the iPhone so that it can be used with cellular networks other than AT&T will be trading his reworked gadget for a new car.

George Hotz, of Glen Rock, N.J., said he had reached the deal with CertiCell, a Louisville, Ky.-based mobile phone repair company.

Hotz posted on his blog that he traded his modified iPhone for "a sweet Nissan 350Z and 3 8GB iPhones."

"This has been a great end to a great summer," Hotz wrote.

The 17-year-old Hotz said he will be sending the three new iPhones to the three online collaborators who helped him divorce Apple Inc's popular product from AT&T's network. The job took 500 hours, or about 8 hours a day since the iPhone's June 29 launch.

Hotz made the deal with Terry Daidone, co-founder of CertiCell, who also promised the teen a paid consulting job.

"We do not have any plans on the table right now to commercialize Mr. Hotz' discovery," Daidone said in a statement.

4-ft Tall Marijuana Plant Found in Old Lady's Garden

Woman, 71, arrested for 'special' plant

GREENSBORO, N.C. - A 71-year-old woman was arrested on drug charges after a chest-high marijuana plant was found in her yard, a plant she said was meant to keep animals away from her garden.

A sheriff's deputy saw the plant as he drove past Betty Holt Walker's home earlier this month, according to Capt. Tony Caliendo of the Guilford County Sheriff's Department.

Walker told the deputy she found the first plant — which had grown to more than 4 feet tall when he saw it — in her garden and repotted it. She said it was a special plant used to keep animals out of her front yard.

"This wasn't something that was meant to keep animals away," Caliendo said.

Are You Too Clingy?

But the third deadly sin is harder to spot in one's self, because it often looks and feels just like love. I'm talking about clinginess.

Here are some signs that your relationship Velcro is about to endure a loud ripping noise.

Needy Sign 1: Your Over-Under on Daily Phone Calls is Two*

You make more calls than that? The unspoken message is that maybe you don't trust him, or don't have enough to do yourself, or are relying too much on him for everyday satisfaction.

Needy Sign 2: You Insist on a Joint E-mail Account

Oh, how nice it is when "Bob and Karen@yahoo" can e-mail "Joe and Linda@yahoo" to set up the night at the Italian place on the 20th. Not really.

Needy Sign 3: You Update Him on the Latest Celebrity Gossip

Needy Sign 4: You Don't Have Your Own Poker Night

One, that away-from-each-other time ensures that women have their own independent outlets. And two, it gives men a chance to have their own testosterone release.
