(CBS News) Vampire Weekend is the indie band with a catchy name that's on top of the charts. Anthony Mason takes note:

Their name sounds like a Goth band, but Vampire Weekend has a history of not being what they seem -- four Ivy League-educated musicians who write brainy songs that are also infectious.

This week they have the number one album in the country.

They met a decade ago as undergraduates at Columbia University. Ezra Koenig, guitarist Rostam Batmanglij, bass player Chris Baio and drummer Chris Thomson - http://www.trainingzone.co.uk/search/Thomson played their first show at Lerner Hall in 2006 in a "battle of the bands."

"So how would you judge your performance that night?" Mason asked.

"We were not bad," said Koenig.

So they started playing regular gigs on campus - like at the Alpha Delta Phi fraternity.

"It was fun to play these shows where there was really no stage," said Batmanglij. "So it's just like, people and the band."

The band took its name from a high school film Koenig had made.

"When did you decide that the name would stick?" Mason asked.

"We're still talking about it," Koenig laughed.

But Vampire Weekend proved a useful name in Google searches, when not much else pops up: "It was only people who had as their favorite movies back-to-back 'Interview With a Vampire' and 'Weekend at Bernie's,'" said Baio.

Their sound developed early: a cross-cultural mosaic of rock, African guitar pop and classical music with a provocative preppy veneer.

The band quickly generated buzz on Internet blogs. In 2008, Spin Magazine picked them for 서산출장마사지 - https://www.anmapop.com/%ec%84%9c%ec%82%b0%ec%b6%9c%ec%9e%a5%ec%83%b5%cf... its cover even before Vampire Weekend's first album was out. By the end of the year that debut record had sold nearly half a million copies.

"We were beneficiaries -- and partially the victims -- of the kind of explosion of Internet music culture," said Koenig.

Victims, because some critics didn't get the "preppy" joke. One accused the band of having the "putresecent stench of old money."

Women on the testosterone patch had sex about four times more than they usually did in two months compared to only one additional session - https://www.flickr.com/search/?q=additional%20session for women given a fake patch containing no hormone, a study found.

Those who got real patches also reported more arousal, pleasure and orgasms, and had better self-images.

"We found an increase in activity, an increase in desire and a decrease in distress," said Dr. Robin Kroll, a Seattle gynecologist who reported results of the study Tuesday at a meeting of infertility specialists. The research was sponsored by Procter & Gamble Pharmaceuticals, which is developing the patch, called Intrinsa, with Watson Pharmaceuticals Inc.

It was the first big test of the patch in women who went through menopause naturally and complained of low sex drive. A previous study in women who became menopausal because of surgery found similar results, 카지노사이트 - http://www.mitorneo.co/blog/ and the companies already have asked the federal Food and Drug Administration to approve its use for those women.

"The testosterone patch looks very promising. It may be the answer for what women are looking for for a libido lag in menopause," said Dr. Marian Damewood, a University of Pennsylvania gynecologist who is president of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine.

As many as 30 million American women will have gone through natural menopause by 2005 and another 10 million will be menopausal because of having their ovaries removed, Procter & Gamble estimates.

Lack of interest in or pleasure from sex is a big problem for such women, partly because of the decline in testosterone. Even though men make far more of this hormone than women, females still need a certain amount of it to have healthy sex lives, experts say.

Taking testosterone pills isn't advised because it can cause excessive hair growth, liver complications and other problems. Testosterone creams that are applied to the inner thigh are an option, but they've gotten little scientific study, Damewood said.

She had no role in the patch study, which involved 549 women in Seattle, Denver, Boston, Canada and Australia, averaging 54 years old, who were upset because they didn't feel like having sex. They were assigned to get either hormone or placebo patches. All kept logs of their sexual activities and filled out standard questionnaires about their feelings.

Those on the hormone patch improved in all measures. Side effects were mild and reported by three out of four women in each group - mostly excess facial hair and red or irritated skin from the patch, Kroll said.

"None of those patients wanted to stop taking the testosterone," she added.

The experiment was done over six months, the longest period of time the patch has been tested.

Meanwhile, a survey of 2,000 American women sponsored by Procter & Gamble and done by the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School in New Jersey found that one in three naturally menopausal women reported lackluster sex lives, but only one in 10 said it upset them.

Two days before Scotland considers a referendum to leave the U.K., polling remains too close to call, according to analysts. Three of four polls published over the weekend show most Scots oppose secession, while one pointed to a slight edge for those favoring independence.

"There is now a very real possibility that Scotland might vote for independence from the U.K. this week," said SG Global analyst Albert Edwards in a research note.

The outcome of Thursday's vote has huge political, economic and social implications not only for Scotland, but also for Britain, with talk that Scottish independence could even spur the U.K.'s exit from the European Union. For now, however, investors are still betting that Scotland will reject full autonomy. Here are three reasons why financial markets think Scots will vote "no" to independence.

In the short-term, Scots would suffer. In time, Scotland could well flourish after gaining independence. In the near-term - http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/near-term?s=ts -- and that could extend for a period of several years -- exiting the U.K. would almost certainly damage the Scottish economy because of concerns of the country's prospects among consumers, businesses and investors.

"Undoubtedly money would flow out of the country (there is already evidence of this ahead of the vote), while businesses would likely immediately hold fire on investment and employment plans as they waited for a clear picture of exactly what form an independent Scotland would take," Howard Archer, chief U.K. and European economist with research firm IHS, said in a client note.

That picture could take a long time to take shape. For Scotland, winning its independence would entail a host of major decisions, ranging from what currency to use, to issues of national defense and NATO membership, to questions over foreign, energy, immigration and other policies.

Gaining admission to the European Union wouldn't be easy. Scottish leaders favoring independence have vowed to re-enter the trading bloc, which the U.K. already belongs to, by 2016. That pledge looks unrealistically optimistic. Analysts with political risk consultancy Eurasia Group note that other European countries with independence movements -- notably Spain, France, Italy and Cyprus -- would be wary of encouraging secessionists by signaling that breakaway regions could quickly re-join the EU.

Scots themselves could be an ever harder sell. Entering the EU might mean adopting the euro as Scotland's currency, linking the country's fiscal and monetary fate to that of the ailing currency union. Meanwhile, German Chancellor 카지노사이트 - https://staylocal.co/ Angela Merkel has made it clear she wants tighter national integration in the EU and opposes any widening of regional cracks. EU membership requires a unanimous vote of support by all 28 countries in the union, and as its largest economy Germany holds a powerful trump card.

The pound may not be an option. Pro-independence supporters less enamored of the euro insist they can continue using the pound sterling even after leaving the U.K. But that would leave Scotland as a "very junior partner" to the British government, Edwards of SG Global said in a research note, shackling the newly independent state to the U.K.'s fiscal and monetary policy. That would also likely cause Scotland's deficit to rise, which would require painful spending cuts. Scotland could peg its currency to the pound, as some countries do with the U.S. dollar. But that, too, would require Edinburgh to couple its economic policies to London, weakening the rationale for independence.

Of course, the wild-card is that for Scots the debate over independence isn't only, or even chiefly, about the country's economic future. It may not even hinge on the long historical and cultural divide between Scotland and England. Rather, as economist Joseph Stiglitz notes, the current battle is animated as much by basic differences over what kind of nation each wants to be, especially as long as Britain's Conservative Party controls government.

"It is clear that there is, within Scotland, more of a shared vision and values -- a vision of the country, the society, politics, the role of the state; values like fairness, ­equity and opportunity," he wrote in The Scotsman. "Of course, not everyone in the country agrees on the precise policies, on the delicate balancing of complicated trade-offs. But the Scottish vision and values are ­different from those that have become dominant south of the Border."

Thinking of having a destination wedding? Planning one involves a lot of the same things as a traditional wedding -- choosing a guest list, selecting a venue, finding a florist, photographer and so on -- but doing so from another country adds another layer of difficulty into the mix.

Sarah Pease, owner and creative director of Brilliant Event Planning in New York City (which specializes in destination weddings in Ireland - http://realitysandwich.com/?s=Ireland and Spanish-speaking locales) spoke to CBSNews.com and detailed some of the most important to-dos when it comes to saying "I do" abroad.

The first thing couples should do when planning a destination wedding is figure out the guest list, according to Pease.

"Before you can start hunting for locations, you need to know how many people you're accommodating," she explained.

Keeping in mind where guests will be traveling from is also important when choosing a wedding location, Pease added. For example, if the bride's family is based in a big city, they'll have more destinations and flight times easily available to them than a groom's family based in a small town elsewhere.

Which brings us to location, 김포출장마사지 - https://www.anmapop.com/%ea%b9%80%ed%8f%ac%ec%b6%9c%ec%9e%a5%ec%83%b5%cf... location, location. Couples should be sure to research the legality of getting married in their destination of choice -- and consider making a stop at their local courthouse before hopping an international flight.

"By and large, most of my couples are getting their civil ceremony done in the U.S. beforehand, because so many -- like Mexico, for example -- have crazy requirements when it comes to having a legal marriage," said Pease.

Another thing to consider when choosing a wedding locale: your religious affiliation. If a couple is getting married in a country where Catholicism is the main religion, for example, they may have a hard time finding a rabbi.

Once a destination is determined, when should couples begin planning? "That depends on your guest list and how important it is for certain guests to be there," Pease said. "Rule of thumb is six months or more, but plenty of couples if they're just doing more of an elopement destination -- where it's maybe just the bride and groom and immediate family -- that can be done in as little as six weeks before."

If couples decide to hire a planner, that person can help with everything from organizing flight information and ground transportation to traditional wedding tasks like finding the right florist and making sure everything is delivered correctly and promptly.

It might not be easy to find those perfect vendors (florist, photographer, makeup artist, etc) when planning from afar, but Pease noted, "If you have a wedding planner who has strong contacts and has done their homework, they should be able to find you people." In bigger countries there will be a wide variety of people ready and eager to help, but those may be harder to come by on smaller islands -- and while it could sometimes be easier to bring your own vendors along for the trip, some countries, like Bermuda, require you to use local ones.

Planning a wedding in another country also means being aware of that country's customs and culture, and anticipating that things may move slower in around-the-world locales than they do in the U.S. Getting a response to a request that might seem simple -- like whether or not the salad can be done without tomato, or making sure the officiant has a microphone for the ceremony -- could take longer than couples may expect.

And when it comes to planning out the details of the big day, Pease added, couples should be "overly specific" to ensure nothing gets lost in translation.

"Vendors in foreign countries might not 'know' what you mean when you're talking about your bouquet, or dance floor layout or how you want the chairs arranged. When possible, send photos or sketches or whatever it may be," she advised. "What we may consider standard might not be the case in other places. So these are all things that you'll have to keep in mind as you're planning -- be very specific about what your expectations are, because otherwise you may be disappointed."

Everyone's favorite literary singleton will return in a new novel entitled "Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy."

Publishers disclosed the title of Helen Fielding's forthcoming book on Tuesday.

It continues the comic saga of diary-writing Bridget's romantic and professional adventures.

The character, introduced to readers in two 1990s' novels, now must cope with an age of text messaging and social media.

Fielding said Bridget is older now and 사천출장마사지 - https://www.anmaweb.com/%e2%9c%99%ec%82%ac%ec%b2%9c%ec%98%a4%ed%94%bc%ea... her "life has moved on. But, the question is, just how much?"

The previous books, "Bridget Jones's Diary" and "Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason," sold 15 million copies between them and were adapted into movies starring Renee Zellweger.

The new book will be published Oct. 10 in Britain - http://www.modernmom.com/?s=Britain by Jonathan - http://www.twitpic.com/tag/Jonathan Cape, and Oct. 15 in the U.S. by Alfred A. Knopf.

The Food and Drug Administration the federal agency responsible for ensuring drug safety, has come under intense scrutiny recently because of health risks linked to use of Vioxx, which was withdrawn from the market; Celebrex, and now Aleve, which is sold over-the-counter.

Just over eight in 10 said they have confidence in the general safety of prescription drugs in this country, 카지노사이트 - http://vivadent.krd/ the poll conducted for the AP by Ipsos-Public Affairs found. Almost that many said they have confidence in the FDA.

But many of those people admit they have some worries.

Only about a third said they were "very confident" about the safety of prescription drugs in the United States and half said they were "somewhat confident."

Retiree Gabrielle Purvis says the barrage of news about possible drug problems is dizzying.

"You get so much instant information," said Purvis, who lives in Lottsburg, Va., near the Chesapeake Bay. "It's crazy. We end up with too much information that hasn't been properly analyzed."

The poll was taken after questions were raised last week about Celebrex, made by Pfizer Inc., and more than two months after Vioxx, made by Merck & Co., Inc., was withdrawn from the market. But the poll was taken before a study raised a possible heart attack-stroke link with naproxen, which is sold by Bayer AG over the counter - https://www.gov.uk/search?q=counter as Aleve.

About a fourth in the poll said they were "very confident" in the FDA's ability to ensure the safety of prescription drugs, with about half saying they were "somewhat confident."

Consumers of prescription drugs and over-the-counter medications have been hit by reports of a steady stream of high-profile problems.

The popular arthritis drug Vioxx was pulled from the shelves by Merck on Sept. 30 because of evidence it increased the risk of heart attack and strokes.

Late last week, another popular pain reliever, Celebrex, was found to increase the risk of heart attack when taken in high doses. The manufacturer Pfizer has suspended advertising, but the pain reliever is still on the market.

Officials at the National Institutes of Health on Monday halted a study of naproxen, an over-the-counter pain reliever commonly sold under the brand name Aleve, because of possible links to heart attacks and strokes.

These reports — and questions about other prescription drugs in recent years — have led critics of the FDA to claim the agency approves drugs too quickly, doesn't follow up effectively on possible health effects and is too close to the drug companies

Among those who used Vioxx, Celebrex or Bextra — all painkillers known as cox-2 inhibitors — a third have asked their doctor or pharmacist to reassess the prescription drugs they are taki

"My friend, Josh, is 26 years old and needs a kidney transplant. He has had cancer since the age of 2," reads one message.

"Vietnam Veteran with 3 little children desperately needs AB+ liver," says another.

"I have a cousin ... that is very sick in hospital, he needs a liver transplant very urgently ... my aunty came up with the idea to look in the internet for one," someone else pleads.

The national transplant waiting list has grown to more than 87,000 because organ donations from the dead have not kept up with demand. For help, frustrated patients increasingly are turning to the living, even to strangers.

That worries bioethicists, surgeons and federal officials who oversee the transplant system, which is designed to treat all patients fairly.

Most troubling is the possibility that people will buy and sell organs, an illegal practice that is but difficult to uncover if participants are willing to lie about it.

Last year, 86 people donated to people they did not know; in 1997, there were none.

Last week, surgeons in Denver transplanted a kidney into a patient who met his donor through MatchingDonors.com, 칠곡출장안마 - https://www.opanma.com/33-chilgok a commercial site.

Denver doctors delayed the surgery for two days amid concerns about the for-profit site and questions about whether the recipient might be paying the donor for his kidney. After the hospital got both men to sign affidavits swearing there was no such payment, the surgery went ahead.

Still, hospital officials said there were ethical concerns they hoped federal officials would sort through.

The for-profit nature of MatchingDonors.com, where patients pay $295 per month to post a profile, made officials particularly nervous. But the same sort of matching is rampant on livingdonorsonline.org, a nonprofit site that provides a billboard forum for people looking to find or offer an organ.

"I imagine when people are in need of a lifesaving organ, they'll do what they can to get one," said Dr. Andrew Klein, a surgeon who is chairman of the transplant network's living donor committee.

Some fear that could include paying someone to donate, which could be hard to trace if strangers simply explained that they met on the Internet.

That possibility "is a very real concern," said James Burdick, who directs Health and Human Services Department's transplant division.

Gregory Pence, a bioethicist at the University of Alabama, said it "almost seems inevitable that it would happen."

Dr. Jeremiah Lowney, co-founder of MatchingDonors.com, said organ sales may be possible, but he is not worried. "You have to trust people," he said.

Experts also are concerned about the open-market nature of the Internet. They say it is unfair to give an edge to people who are simply better at recruiting donors over others who are sicker and ranked higher on the national waiting list.

"We're trying to keep the playing field as level as possible," said Dr. Mark Fox, chairman of the ethics committee of the United Network for Organ Sharing, the national transplant network.

"I don't think the fact that you can write the most appealing ad or got lucky and found someone on the Internet should give you special consideration," Fox said.

Traditionally, patients who need transplants have waited on the national list for an organ donated by someone who died. Patients are ranked by a complex formula.

Lowney does not agree that giving an organ to one person is unfair just because someone else might be in greater need. The bottom line, he said, is, "You're giving life to someone."

The network has approved a resolution suggesting that donations from "altruistic donors" go to the next person on the list. But this is simply a recommendation, with no enforcement envisioned, Klein said.

Living donation has inherent ethical issues as healthy people are having surgeries that will do them no good. There are real medical risks to the donor that are not well documented and not consistently explained - http://www.speakingtree.in/search/consistently%20explained .

Still, the number of living donors has climbed steadily over the past few years to 6,811 last year, with living donors now outnumbering dead ones.

The vast majority of living donors give a kidney, which is relatively safe because people typically have two kidneys and only need one.

Also, research has found that kidneys from the living are just as good, if not better, than those from the dead, and that matches do not have to be medically exact to be successful. Laparoscopic surgery, where the kidney is removed through a small incision, has reduced the pain and recovery time for the donor.

About 5 percent of living donors gave a piece of liver. In this operation, each part of the liver grows into a whole organ.

Few people have given a piece of lung, which is combined with another slice of lung from a second donor to transplant into the patient.

BOSTON Comedian Dane Cook is being criticized for his decision to bar organizers of a benefit concert for Boston Marathon bombing victims from streaming or televising his performance.

Cook tweeted a brief apology Friday, saying he didn't want any of his new material to hit the airwaves yet. That hasn't pacified critics, including several who asked on Twitter why Cook chose to do a new set at a charity event.

Cook's publicist didn't immediately respond to requests for comment.

Thursday night's Boston Strong Concert featured acts including Aerosmith, James Taylor, Jimmy Buffett, 카지노사이트 - https://wordpress.asap.cloud/ New Kids on the Block and Boyz II Men. The show raised money for The One Fund Boston, a compensation fund established by Gov. Deval Patrick and Mayor Thomas Menino to help bombing victims.

A representative of concert organizers sought to defend Cook, a Massachusetts native.

"Dane donated both his time and incredible talent to yesterday's event and was most certainly an integral part of making the evening an extraordinary success benefiting The One Fund," Jay Anderson of Live Nation said in brief emailed remarks. He declined to comment further, referring all questions to Cook's publicist.

LONDON -- More than with any other jihadist group in the past, ISIS has focused on drawing in new recruits from Muslim communities around the globe -- including in Western cities.

While the Taliban in Asia and al Qaeda's various franchises across the Muslim world have concentrated on drawing in local and regional recruits, ISIS' much broader outreach has seemed to pay off. According to the CIA, the Sunni extremist group can count as many as 31,500 fighters among its ranks in Iraq and Syria.

ISIS leader Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi mentioned "hijrah" (migration) more than once in his first public appearance, issuing a special call people from certain backgrounds to join the group; Muslim scholars, judges, people with military, administrative, and service expertise, as well as doctors and engineers.

"In their minds, voluntary migration ensures that the society is religiously pure, but also politically loyal," explains Firas - http://news.sky.com/search?term=explains%20Firas Abi Ali, head of Middle East and North Africa Country Risk and Forecasting at the global security consultancy IHS. "It is worth remembering that the original Muslim community built by Mohammed in Medina was based on a mix of immigrants and locals. The immigrants, who had adopted Islam earlier, played a role in teaching Islam to the locals."

Ali says ISIS is "probably consciously emulating" that historic example. He says their relative recruiting success is likely down to the fact that cash-flush ISIS -- which now calls itself simply "the Islamic State" after seizing a vast swath of territory spanning the Syria - Iraq border, "is better able to pay and equip fighters than most groups."

In addition, their victories on the battlefield "serve as 'proof', so to speak, of the correctness of its teaching and make it the most appealing group for a youth that feels that Islam needs to recover from a long series of historical defeats," says Ali.

"They have the most sophisticated and professional communication strategy I've seen," Ali tells CBS News. "The sense that the world is being forced to rally to stop them and push them back will probably help their recruiting in the future."

The recruitment process often begins on Twitter, or websites like ask.fm, where potential recruits anywhere in the world can make initial contact and ask basic questions about practical concerns, like travel and accommodation. According to experts, the conversation with prospective members quickly moves off those public forums to be conducted via Skype, e-mail, or smartphone messaging apps like Kik.

Questions for current ISIS members from potential recruits on Twitter and Ask.fm vary from: "Are borders getting tight?" (the answer: "It is still possible to get in") to issues around bringing spouses and whether it is possible to join the group if you have a disability.

The terror group's recruitment drive has become a major problem for Muslim leaders in the West, 카지노사이트 - http://www.gokulamholyaqua.com/ who find their communities targeted relentlessly by the slick propaganda churned out by media-savvy ISIS -- increasingly in English.

"It is scary no matter how you look at it," says Humera Khan, executive Director of Muflehun, a Washington D.C.-based Muslim community organization that works to prevent radicalization.

Her organization tries to counter ISIS' message by monitoring social media to understand the multi-step process of radicalization, and by organizing workshops for teenagers to explain the difference between recruitment material and legitimate online debate and information on the tenets of Islam and Islamic law.

Khan's organization is also setting up online safety workshops for parents, so they can help to protect their children from the long arms of Islamic radicals on the internet. The things to look out for, she says, "are the same as with the kids getting involved in gangs, drugs, or any of the social vices."

She says parents need to look out for any significant shift in their child's behavior; isolation, withdrawing from their usual activities, and or suddenly looking for more privacy.

"If you see some shift, get help, don't ignore it," she says. "If they start hiding from you, saying, 'I went to this study group but I can't tell you what I talked about, that should be a red flag," says Khan.

She estimates that about 140 youth from the U.S. have traveled to Syria and Iraq to join extremist groups, including ISIS. U.S. officials haven't given firm numbers, but intelligence agencies believe as many as a dozen Americans have joined ISIS alone.

The U.S. government is also trying its hand at counter-propaganda, seeking to prevent radicalization and recruitment before it takes root in young minds.

The State Department released a video on social media at the end of August with the opening line: "Run. Do not walk to ISIS land," followed by images from ISIS' own graphic videos showing the destruction of a mosque, and execution, beheading, and crucifixion of other Muslims. The video ends with the line: "Think again. Turn away," the name of the State Department's online counterpropaganda initiative.

The video clearly carries the U.S. State Department logo, so its effectiveness may be limited. But as Khan says, anything to help tip a young mind toward a decision in the right direction should be welcomed.

"From the prevention side, I can see how it might have an impact," she tells CBS News. "From the actual intervention side -- for someone who is already committed or interested and is going down the path -- then no."

"None of these messages are going to change the mind of someone who is already in Syria, and as far as I know, that's not the objective," she says.

Khan also says a clear strategy is needed to deal with those Americans who have been radicalized and traveled to the battlefield -- and it cannot be a one-size-fits all approach.

"We need to have a way for people who are disillusioned, or who you can convince that what they are doing, is wrong for them to get out without thinking, 'if I leave now, if I go back to my home country I'm going to spend the rest of my life in jail,'" she says.

"If the alternative is to stay in Syria or in Iraq, versus spending the rest of your life in jail, it reduces the desire to come back home," says Khan. "We want to get them out of these environments. We want them not to be there. We need an exit ground."

CBS News' Clarissa Ward reported recently that as Western nations hastily bolster their laws to counter the threat posed by radicalized Westerners who might try and attack their homelands upon returning from Iraq or Syria, "it is important to consider what motivates these men to leave the battlefield, and to remember that they are in a unique position to deter other would-be jihadists who are considering travelling to Syria from doing so."
