MARIETTA, GA, December 11, 2012 (Press-News.org) A newly released video reveals that Santa Claus and his reindeer made a miraculous escape last Christmas after the reindeer ran out of gas, forcing Santa's little sleigh to make a forced landing at the North Pole. In the eyewitness video posted on Santa's website, Santa Claus and the reindeer can be seen a little dazed, but unhurt.
Good little girls and boys around the world were initially concerned, but after seeing that Santa Claus and the reindeer were okay, they are breathing a sigh of relief. "Phew!" is on the lips of little ones everywhere. But this may not be the end of the story.
Authorities at the North Pole say the incident was not a total surprise. Santa Claus had apparently had numerous close calls in recent years due to a big increase in the number of good little girls and boys. The ever-growing mountain of toys to deliver was overwhelming Santa's little sleigh and forcing Santa and the reindeer to make more trips every year.
Said Santa Claus, "Back when George Washington was a tyke, my little sleigh held all the toys I needed, but not anymore. For years we've had to make SO many trips back to the North Pole to reload the sleigh! It's been tough for me, but it's been worse for the reindeer." Blitzen agreed. "What can I say? We finally ran out of gas. Well, so to speak, since we run on carrots, not gas.""
In the aftermath of the incident questions were raised about Santa's sleigh. The Sleigh Patrol reportedly came within an eyelash of grounding the little red icon. When Santa Claus was asked about this recently, he was emotional, but realistic. "As much as I love my little sleigh, it had clearly become too small to handle the load by itself. I was in jeopardy of not being able to deliver all the toys, and that just wouldn't do, would it? So the elves and I have been making exciting changes in toy delivery. I will still use my little red sleigh, but now I have something else, too. And it is so cool! It's a secret, but there are some big hints on my website."
In another twist to the story, authorities said the video only exists because of a stroke of luck. By chance, a team of animators was drawing Santa's flight, so they captured everything as it happened. Their exciting 2-minute video can be seen for FREE on Santa's Website at www.thesantaclaussleigh.com.

Smokers Utopia States Argument for E Cigarettes as Cessation Product Following Results of New Polish Study
2012-12-11
It is commonly stated that you can't have your cake and eat it too, but the electronic cigarette may break the long held beliefs by the anti-smoking establishment and do away with pharmaceuticals that come in at a dismal 5% success rate or less.
Over the last year new studies, trials and test including the new Polish report have suggested that the electronic cigarette may be superior to any known pharmaceutical remedy or alternative. This may be why major pharmaceutical companies are dumping hundreds of millions into these anti-smoking groups that attack the electronic ...

Self-assembled monolayers create p-n junctions in graphene films
2012-12-10
The electronic properties of graphene films are directly affected by the characteristics of the substrates on which they are grown or to which they are transferred. Researchers are taking advantage of this to create graphene p-n junctions by transferring films of the promising electronic material to substrates that have been patterned by compounds that are either strong electron donors or electron acceptors.
A low temperature, controllable and stable method has been developed to dope graphene films using self-assembled monolayers (SAM) that modify the interface of graphene ...
Violent video games: More playing time equals more aggression
2012-12-10
COLUMBUS, Ohio – A new study provides the first experimental evidence that the negative effects of playing violent video games can accumulate over time.
Researchers found that people who played a violent video game for three consecutive days showed increases in aggressive behavior and hostile expectations each day they played. Meanwhile, those who played nonviolent games showed no meaningful changes in aggression or hostile expectations over that period.
Although other experimental studies have shown that a single session of playing a violent video game increased short-term ...
