CTVNews.ca Staff Published Friday, Jun. 29, 2012 11:01AM EDT Last Updated Friday, Jun. 29, 2012 10:44PM EDT The Canada Day long weekend just got a little longer – only by one second unfortunately.
Saturday will be one second longer this year as a team at the Paris Observatory adds a “leap second” just before midnight to compensate for a gradual slowdown in the Earth’s rotation. International Earth Rotation and Reference System Service experts make the adjustment when the planet’s movement falls out of sync with atomic clocks used to measure time. A total of 24 seconds have been added to atomic clocks since 1972.
But that doesn’t mean that days are 24 seconds longer, only that the days on which the leap second are added have 86,401 instead of the usual 86,400 seconds. A second can be added or removed as needed every six months, but it typically happens only every 1.5 years. Who's Who scam. A Who's Who scam is a fraudulent Who's Who biographical directory.[1] While there are many legitimate Who's Who directories, Who's Who scams involve the selling of "memberships" in fraudulent directories that are created online or through instant publishing services.[1] These fraudulent directories represent thinly veiled moneymaking scams.
A scam may begin with a telephone interview or online questionnaire to validate a potential target's personal information. This information can be included in the fraudulent directory, sold to other marketing firms, or used in future attacks such as phishing emails. Once the personal information has been gathered, the target is congratulated as having passed the interview and is asked to provide a credit card number to finalize the process.
Upon further inquiry, the target may be told that a credit card payment is required to receive a certificate and copy of the directory. Recently incorporated companies are often behind these scams.

IQ, the standard measure of intelligence, can increase or fall significantly during our teenage years, according to research funded by the Wellcome Trust, and these changes are associated with changes to the structure of our brains.
The findings may have implications for testing and streaming of children during their school years. Across our lifetime, our intellectual ability is considered to be stable, with intelligence quotient (IQ) scores taken at one point in time used to predict educational achievement and employment prospects later in life. However, in a study published October 20 in the journal Nature, researchers at the Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging at UCL (University College London) and the Centre for Educational Neuroscience show for the first time that, in fact, our IQ is not constant.
The researchers, led by Professor Cathy Price, tested 33 healthy adolescents in 2004 when they were between the ages of 12 and 16 years.
