There are many studies being done to look at whether certain vitamin and mineral supplements and combinations of supplements may help prevent age-related macular degeneration (AMD) or delay vision loss in people who already have it.
For example, the Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS) is a major research effort by the
U.S. National Eye Institute. The first AREDS study found that supplementing your diet with high
levels of vitamins C, E, and beta-carotene, called
antioxidants, and the mineral zinc may help slow the
progress of advanced
age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and delay
vision loss if you already have moderate or severe AMD.
There is no evidence that the supplements are helpful if you do
not have AMD or only have a mild form of the disease.1
In a study of male doctors who didn't have AMD, researchers found that taking vitamins E and C for up to 8 years, either alone or in combination, was not likely to affect whether or not a person got early AMD. This finding is consistent with other studies that looked at preventing AMD by using vitamins.2
If you're interested in taking a vitamin or mineral supplement, talk with your doctor about the risks. For example:
Remember that you can also get more vitamins from the foods you eat, especially fruits and vegetables.

Now There's Bacon-Scented Air Freshener Because Of Course There Is
The world's descent into bacon madness started innocently at first. A couple of extra slices on a burger soon turned to bacon-flavored jam, which turned to bacon being used as an ingredient in cookies, pancakes and just about everything else. Then came bacon taco shells, bacon soap and DIY bacon kits. Now you can finally live every second of your life surrounded by porky goodness. Introducing bacon-scented air freshener.
The obviously named Bacon Spray Freshener is certainly a bacon-scented spray but we aren't so sure it'll make things smell fresher. What it will do, however, is make things smell bacon-ier. This is the perfect ironic gift for the vegan in your life or a perfectly cruel gift for a carnivore who has to stay away from pork for health reasons.

Brett Favre was his vintage self last night, setting yet another record with his 500th touchdown pass, then blowing the game with an ill-conceived interception. The drama that served as a backdrop for the game, overshadowing his team at a crucial point in the season, was vintage Favre, too.
For the second time in a week, Favre addressed direct questions about the report at Deadspin.com (Full disclosure: I'm a contributing editor for Deadspin) that he allegedly sent lewd text messages to TV host Jenn Sterger while both were in the employ of the New York Jets. And, for the second time in a week, Favre answered the question by evading it altogether:
My main focus is the New York Jets, they are a tough team; as good as they are that has been my focus," Favre told ESPN. "I hate in any way if this has been a distraction as I said Thursday -- we are here focused on trying to beat the Jets."
When asked about the accuracy of the reports, Favre told ESPN, "That will take its course."
By saying, "that will take its course," Favre is essentially saying it'll all go away and everyone will stop paying attention to it. That's delightfully wrong, of course. Deadspin says it has already found two other Jets employees who claim Favre sent them unwanted texts. This is the kind of story that builds up a head of steam until it finally finds some kind of resolution. In Tiger Woods' case, that resolution meant a very public divorce and that horrible apology press conference.
Before his team went out and lost to the Jets 29-20, Favre addressed his team to tearfully - and vaguely - apologize for causing a distraction. But he didn't get specific in the privacy of the locker room, either.
Favre's resolution isn't in sight yet. He doesn't appear to be denying anything. And his lawyers have yet to contact Deadspin with regards to the Sterger pictures and voicemails. Peter King said today that Favre may not be suspended by the league for this incident, given that it may be his first offense. That may be wrong, given that the NFL doesn't always make first offenses public, and given that Roger Goodell may treat the claims against Favre as multiple offenses. I wouldn't surprised if he was suspended for maybe a game or two. I think anything longer than that would be pretty stunning.
There's also the matter of Favre's play on the field for Minnesota of late. Randy Moss may be around now for Favre to toy with, but he has spent the first three games of this year looking every bit like his forty-one years. And his pass protection is horrid. That's a shame, because playing winning football is about the only thing Favre can do right now to alleviate this situation.
This isn't like Tiger Woods, where Woods stopped playing for months and let everyone talk on and on about his sex life. Favre took his chance Monday night to distract everyone by throwing his 500th TD (to Moss!) and doing all the stuff that makes the Ron Jaworskis of the world love him so dearly. But that's likely a temporary respite.
Before this whole scandal broke, a lot of people thought Favre might head to IR before the end of the season if it looked like all hope was lost. That option may not be available to the old man anymore, since a poorly disguised immediate retirement would send tails wagging. Favre's only hope to get out of this mess is to keep on playing. And it's kind of fitting that a guy who cried wolf about retirement for so long can't now go out on his own terms.

A man who in 2000 killed an 11-year-old boy and threw him into a Littleton trash bin was killed under "suspicious circumstances" at Sterling Correctional Facility, officials said.
Lyle Brent White was pronounced dead at Denver Health Medical Center on Thursday, according to Michelle Weiss-Samaras, spokeswoman for the Denver Coroner's Office.
His body was taken back to Logan County for an autopsy scheduled for today, deputy coroner David Tennant said.
White, 40, was serving a life sentence for the January 2000 slaying of Centennial Elementary School fifth-grader Antonio Davalos.
Katherine Sanguinetti, spokeswoman for the Colorado Department of Corrections, said an inmate at Sterling has been placed in segregation. An investigation by the Inspector General's Office is underway.
The inmate had been in the prison's high-security section.
White was the second inmate killed at Sterling in five days. An inmate was killed in a minimum-security cellblock Nov. 25, Sanguinetti said. She did not know the name of that inmate.
Antonio was strangled in his grandmother's Littleton townhome, stuffed in a duffel bag and thrown in a Jefferson County strip-mall trash bin not far from Columbine High School.
During his trial, White blamed the murder on his 28-year-old brother, who has Down syndrome. He said he heard a crash and saw his brother standing at the bottom of the stairs with his foot on Antonio's throat. He claimed he wanted to protect his brother.
White had testified that he and his brother drove around town and to the mountains, and ate McDonald's food as the boy lay in the back of his van in the bag.
White had been living with Antonio's grandmother, and Antonio had stayed over the night before.

Chef Marcela Valladolid describes herself as someone who makes enchiladas for a living.
That's because her "Mexican Made Easy" Food Network TV show and cookbook — not to mention her line of cookware — has turned her into a one-woman Mexican food empire.
The Tijuana-bred chef shows kitchen cooks across the country how to make fresh, authentic Mexican food such as tortas, guacamole and, of course, enchiladas.
Valladolid, who lives in Chula Vista with her son, recently launched Tequila Hacienda de la Flor, an organic tequila infused with agave.
She took some time to discuss where she goes when she wants good Mexican food and why living in San Diego isn't the best for her business.
Q: Please describe what you do.
A: I talk about the Mexican food that I grew up with. I try and show people that Mexico and its culture is so much more than burritos and sombreros (although I love both). I'm a TV host, published author, tequila label owner, tabletop line designer and am currently developing my own line of food products.
Q: When did Mexican food become your specialty?
A: When I realized there was an opportunity to show people that it can be authentic and uncomplicated at the same time. I was a food editor at "Bon Appétit" magazine and they dedicated their first September issue to Mexico (every September issue is a different country) and I wanted to go on television and personally tell people that Mexican food isn't overstuffed burritos or taco salads or chili. That's when I wrote the proposal for my first book. It didn't get published for nearly a decade, but that's when it started.
Q: You trained in Los Angeles and Paris. What made you come back home to San Diego?
A: Honestly, my family. Very specifically my niece, Isabella. I couldn't bear the thought of establishing myself in a city far away from her. It's not like I had some professional strategy. San Diego, in fact, is one of the hardest places to sell Mexican food. You just cross the border into Tijuana and they have better food that's more authentic and for half the price. I came back home because I decided I needed to make a living doing something that allowed me to be close to my roots.
Q: What are some misconceptions about Mexican food?
A: The easy ones are that it's carb-heavy, spicy, very fattening and not very diverse. That it's mostly tortillas, salsa, rice and beans. While tortillas and chilies are the heart of the cuisine and salsa is the blood, there's so much more. Regionally, from the moles in Oaxaca and Puebla to the Caribbean flair of Veracruz to the fresh ceviches of the coasts and the magical wine valleys of Baja, it's just incredibly diverse. I think that before we try to clear up the misconceptions of the food, we need to clear up the misconceptions of the entire culture.
Q: How much tequila did you have to taste to create your own brand?
A: I started doing that research when I was 14!
Q: What makes Hacienda de la Flor different from all the other tequilas?
A: You can taste the agave. It's 100% organic and the bottle is almost as beautiful as the juice itself.
Q: What is your favorite Tijuana street food?
A: Tacos al Pastor (pork tacos from a spit), Tortas del Wash (a famous Tijuana torta truck), Raspados de Chamoy (slush ice flavored with a sweet and spicy sauce), Mulas de Carne Asada del Hipodromo (melted cheese, carne asada and avocado sandwiched between two corn tortillas from Taqueria Hipodromo).
Q: OK, settle this battle once and for all: Who has the best burritos — Southern or Northern California?
A: I wouldn't know honestly! I really only eat burritos in Tijuana from street corners that come out of coolers from businesses with no name, telephone or website.
Q: What's something people would be surprised to find about you?
A: I won a car on the "Price is Right" and I eat Takis (spicy Mexican chips) by the bag-full. I don't make mole everyday nor do I cook Mexican food every day.
Q: Please describe your ideal San Diego weekend.
A: It usually involves getting together with my brother and sister and their kids, which brings the total to nine munchkins all under 11 years old. The farmer's market in little Italy is a Saturday favorite. A walk on the boardwalk in Pacific Beach. A banana split from Mr. Frostie. Then dinner somewhere in North Park, maybe Alexander's. Balboa Park and any of the museums on Sunday. A zucchini and cactus taco with crispy melted cheese from Puesto in La Jolla after Balboa with all the kiddies. Sunset sitting on a blanket somewhere in La Jolla Cove.

A Whimsical, Romantic Garden Wedding at The Mayflower Grace in Washington, Connecticut
Influenced by Impressionism and French country style, Daniela Gill (31 and an interactive and digital designer) and Joseph Lapke (28 and an industrial designer) pulled off a romantic spring wedding with a hint of garden-inspired elegance.
After a bilingual ceremony in English and Spanish (Daniela's family is from Venezuela) in the Shakespeare Garden, the couple and their guests made their way to the reception tent for dinner and dancing. The colorful space came alive with blush stemware, bundles of cherry blossoms and a floral installation suspended from the structure's glass ceiling.
"I was looking for a romantic, comfortable, yet very elegant silhouette with artistic details that would add a beautiful, luxurious vibe to my look," Daniela says of her hunt for the ideal gown. She found it in an ethereal lace trumpet style embellished with glass beads and crystals.
The reception festivities kicked off with signature cocktails and live jazz music by the pool.

Kickass torrents one of the largest torrent sites have disabled image hosts which are not secure. Many uploaders are complaining as that would mean all their old screen shots wont be visible. This is a good move, but really inconvenient for most.
Yes using a secure image host should solve the problem. You may try https://ititli.com/ or you can just change http to https to see if other image host work. If it works and generates links with https then you are good to use that image host. May come in handy for fellow uploaders.
Cheers! :8)

RASC Dark-Sky Program™
Presented by the RASC LPAC
On March 30, 2008, the RASC adopted a Dark-Sky Program that includes Dark-Sky Preserves™ (DSPs), Urban Star Parks™ (USPs) and Nocturnal Preserves™ (NPs). These three designations reflect the benefit for outreach programs of readily accessible sites within or near urban areas and more remote dark sites for observing the pristine sky.
The documents located on the left side bar introduce Urban Star Parks and Dark-Sky Preserves and Nocturnal Preserves. Let these documents be your guide. The contents of these documents (initial version) have been adopted in 2008 by Parks Canada as their "Best Practice" in all federal park facilities.
The RASC Light-Pollution Abatement Committee wish to encourage every RASC Centre, and other groups and organizations to seek out dark sites and local urban areas that can be used for public star nights, or that with some improvements, may become suitable. These properties may be any defined area under the control of management, such as federal or provincial parks or private parks and campgrounds.
The key components of the RASC Dark-Sky Program are:
- control of local lighting,
- outreach programs aimed at the general public and neighbouring municipalities,
- and to demonstrate good nighttime lighting practices.
The following information introduces the contents of these documents.
A USP with Controlled Lighting A Dark Site with No Control of Lighting
Two files contain the management guidelines for the USP and DSP. Local sponsorship is required to document the proposed site and to assist park managers and their staff with astronomy and light-pollution abatement outreach programs. The benefit for the local astronomy group is the long-term protection of their observing site and assistance in the promotion of astronomy. An additional spin-off is better public and political understanding of the problems of light pollution and the benefits in its reduction. This lasting legacy is perhaps the most important benefit of this program.
The above files also contain the Canadian Guidelines for Outdoor Lighting (CGOL) for USPs and DSPs. These Guidelines define the attributes of Low-Impact Lighting™ (LIL). They suggest design solutions that will enable the restriction of lighting within the protected sites. Although we do not propose a prohibition on light, this program does require that any light must be justified on a case-by-case basis. Thus a pristine area should remain without artificial lighting and illuminated areas will have minimal impact on the ecology and visibility of the night sky in the area. This is significantly different from rationalizing the reduction of illumination levels from generally urban levels.
Dark Sky Site
Urban Star Park
Although the designation of USP, DSP or NP is made by the RASC, it is up to the judgment of the sponsoring group whether a local site should be considered for a USP, DSP or NP designation. So, we ask that Centres of the RASC, and any other interested group or organization (astronomy, environmental and conservation groups, land managers, municipalities and other government agencies) to propose USPs, DSPs and NPs in their regions.

C'est magnifique
In 1927 a new fad was sweeping the film industry: Talking Pictures. You may have seen one or two if you've been to a movie in the past 84 years.
With the advent of the new technology, an entire industry fell to the wayside. Silent film actors and actresses became the cassette tapes of their times, cast into obscurity seemingly overnight.
In French film The Artist, director Michel Hazanavicius (OSS 117) chronicles the rise of talkies in a black-and-white film that features no dialog until the last 40 seconds.
It sounds daunting, but it's delightful.
The film follows silent movie icon George Valentin (Jean Dujardin: Little White Lies), a Valentino-esque star known for his charm and daring. Followed everywhere by his adorably trained terrier Uggy, Valentin is at his happiest performing for his adoring fans and soaking in their undying love.
He has to drink in their love, since he goes home every night to shrewish wife (Penelope Ann Miller: Flipped) whose only entertainment is defacing his publicity photos.
No matter, he's got Uggy to talk to.
During the filming of his latest silent spy thriller, Valentin meets charming extra — and Valentin super fan — Peppy Miller (Berenice Bejo: What Love Means). He shares a dance and a few fraught moments with the charming Peppy, but fate and the studio system force them to go their separate ways.
When his producer Al Zimmer (John Goodman: Red State) comes to him with the idea of making a talkie, Valentin laughs. It's a silly fad to him. You know, like the iPod.
Zimmer disagrees and terminates Valentin's contract. It's time to start a new era in filmmaking and the studio needs new stars to do it.
New stars like up-and-comer Peppy Miller
Incensed, Valentin decides to make his own silent movie to prove his fans won't desert him. He sinks all his money into creating a jungle epic. But Valentin is more concerned with getting drunk than getting publicity, and the film crashes along with the stock market.
Valentin is now living his nightmare: he's alone and un-admired. Except for Uggy.
Peppy, on the other hand, is living the dream. She's used advice from Valentine to make herself one of the biggest stars of the 1930s. She has fame, fortune and fans. But she still thinks of the silent actor she loved all those years ago. She helplessly watches from afar as Valentin sinks further into alcoholism, depression and poverty.
If it's starting to sound like A Star is Born, fear not. This is a movie about Hollywood, and Hollywood loves a happy ending.
It's a rarity to build a great film around a gimmick. So it's surprising just how effortlessly The Artist handles its silent movie conceit.
Though the dialog is sparse, Hazanavicius uses sound brilliantly. In one tense sequence, Valentin begins to hear ambient noise — from glass clinks to street traffic — and is driven mad by the cacophony.
Filmed in the traditionally square aspect ratio of silent movies, The Artist celebrates the history of classic film. Instead of subtitles we get the occasional text card. Film buffs will thrill at counting the references to other black-and-white classics. Especially compelling is a send up to Citizen Kane's famed breakfast montage, where time passes in the life of an unhappy couple as they ignore each other over coffee and toast.
The real revelation of The Artist, is the performance from Dujardin. With a Gene Kelly smile and Frederic March's gravitas, Dujardin seems to belong to a bygone era of dashing men more comfortable in tuxedos and top hats than jeans and T-shirts. It's Dujardin's mixture of charm and arrogance that keeps you rooting for Valentin.
The Artist is what all great filmmaking is about: A solid story, winning performances and an artistry that keeps audiences visually and emotionally stimulated. Oh, and it has a cute dog, too.

11.2 Million Viewers Make TNT's "The Closer" Basic Cable's Most-Watched Finale Ever
"Major Crimes" Premiere Climbs to 9.5 Million Viewers
To Become Basic Cable's Biggest Series Launch Ever
TNT's The Closer, which set numerous audience records during its seven-season run, just added another one. Through time-shifted viewing, the Aug. 13 finale of the blockbuster series grew to a final tally of 11,212,000 viewers, making it the most-watched series finale in basic cable history. On a household basis, the finale scored a 7.2 national HH rating, making it the highest-rated series finale in cable history.
Meanwhile, the Aug. 13 premiere of TNT's new series Major Crimes climbed to 9,453,000 viewers, making it basic cable's biggest new series launch ever.
"As wonderful as it is to see The Closer claim yet another page in the record books, it's extremely gratifying that Major Crimes has taken its own place in cable history," said Michael Wright, president, head of programming for TNT, TBS and Turner Classic Movies (TCM).
In setting basic cable's series-finale record with total viewers, The Closer surpassed the Dec. 4, 2009, finale of Monk, which delivered 10,622,000 viewers. In terms of household rating, The Closer now stands ahead of the series finales of The Sopranos (6.7 rating); Sex and the City (6.5) and Monk (6.1).
The record-setting audience for Major Crimes has overtaken previous high marks set by July 12, 2010, debut of TNT's Rizzoli & Isles (9,049,000 viewers) and the Sept. 1, 2008, premiere of TNT's Raising the Bar (8,560,000 viewers).
Among key demos, The Closer's finale garnered 2.7 million adults 18-49 and 3.6 million adults 25-54, while the premiere of Major Crimes drew 2.2 million adults 18-49 and 2.9 million adults 25-54.
Major Crimes recently finished summer as television's #1 new series, with a Live + Same Day average of 6.3 million viewers. That average will rise significantly as additional weeks of time-shifted viewing are added. Meanwhile, The Closer's six final episodes this summer scored an overall average of 8.7 million viewers, with 2.1 million adults 18-49 and 2.8 million adults 25-54 in Live + 7.

FAA downgrades India aviation rating; Air India, Jet hit
Send a link to a friend
[February 01, 2014]
By Devidutta Tripathy
NEW DELHI (Reuters) — U.S. authorities
have downgraded India's aviation safety rating, citing a lack of
safety oversight, meaning Indian carriers cannot increase flights to
the United States and face extra checks for existing ones.
India's government said it expected to resolve by March all concerns
raised by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration, including
appointing an adequate number of flight operation inspectors, and
would approach the U.S. regulator for a review of its decision.
"The FAA has determined that India at this time is not in compliance
with the international standards for aviation safety oversight," the
U.S. regulator told India in a communication, extracts of which were
released by the Indian aviation ministry.
Jet Airways <JET.NS> and state-run Air India <AIN.UL>, the only two
carriers that fly from India to the United States, would be hit by
the downgrade. Air India has 21 weekly flights between India and the
United States, while Jet has seven.
After the news, Jet Airways shares closed 3.7 percent lower in a
Mumbai market that ended 0.3 percent higher.
"It's very disappointing and also surprising," Indian Aviation
Minister Ajit Singh told a news briefing on Friday after the FAA
told Indian authorities that it was downgrading the country to
Category 2 from Category 1.
"In our view, 95 percent of all the issues raised have been solved,"
Singh said, adding they would address all of the FAA's concerns by
India joins countries such as Indonesia, the Philippines and
Bangladesh that have a Category 2 rating. As of November 22, the FAA
kept 81 of the 96 countries reviewed in Category 1.
Amber Dubey, head of aerospace and defense at consultancy KPMG's
Indian unit, said safety regulators in some other countries may
follow suit after the FAA downgrade, which would then affect
carriers like IndiGo and SpiceJet <SPJT.BO>, which fly to Asian and
Middle Eastern countries.
"FAA's downgrade typically has a domino effect," Dubey said.
The European Aviation Safety Agency said on Friday it was closely
monitoring operations by non-European-Union airlines but so far had
"no major concerns" with regard to India.
Transport Canada said Air India and Jet Airways continue to hold
certificates to fly to Canada. The Canadian regulator verifies
airlines comply with its own and international standards, and can
suspend permission if violations are found.
Airlines from countries rated Category 2 can continue operations at
current levels under "heightened FAA surveillance" but cannot expand
or change services to the United States, as per rules of the FAA's
International Aviation Safety Assessments program.
[to top of second column]
State-run Air India currently does not have any plan to increase
flights between India and the United States, Prabhat Kumar, head of
India's aviation regulatory body, told reporters.
Jet Airways, which last year sold a 24 percent stake to Abu Dhabi's
Etihad and is expanding its international flights, did not reply to
an email seeking a comment.
The FAA, which periodically reviews air safety preparedness of
different countries, audited the Indian aviation regulator in
September and December last year and had raised issues including
lack of adequate number of flight inspection safety officers and
training of officers who certify a plane is airworthy.
India earlier this week approved appointing 75 officers in a bid to
avert a downgrade and said it had addressed 29 of the 31 issues
raised by the FAA's safety audit.
U.S. State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said the United States
and India were committed to restoring India to a Category 1 rating
as soon as possible and an FAA team was in India in part to discuss
how to go about doing that.
She said the decision had been a regulatory one based on standards
of the U.N.'s International Civil Aviation Organization and had
nothing to do with a dispute that blew up between the United States
and India last year which led to the effective expulsion of an
Indian diplomat accused of visa fraud and underpaying her maid.
"This was a regulatory decision," Harf told a regular news briefing.
"I don't know how much leeway we have in those, but it's my
understanding that this was all made inside a regulatory framework
that has very specific criteria countries have to meet under ICAO
standards that we're all party to.
"These aren't our standards. They're the ICAO standards everyone has
to live under. And we're committed to working with India to help
them get back to a Category One rating."

The passage of the amended Act Governing Food Sanitation (食品衛生管理法) has been left in the lurch as the Ministry of Economic Affairs weighed in with a warning that the amendments would become "technical barriers to trade" and incur trade disputes.
Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Legislator Tien Chiu-chin (田秋堇) rebuffed the claim yesterday, calling the cited trade barriers "black-hearted" barriers blocking the passage of an amendment that would benefit Taiwanese.
The legislature is set to have an extra legislative session this coming week for the deliberation of the draft, which failed to clear the floor in the session that ended on Jan. 14.
The Ministry of Health and Welfare reportedly sent its revised version of the draft to the Legislative Yuan on Thursday, citing trade barriers and calling for a review of the regulations requiring food manufacturers to have their compound additives registered for permit and subsequent inspection and demanding the labeling of genetically modified food raw materials used.
Tien yesterday called into question the timing of the intervention by the ministries and the Food and Drug Administration.
The relevant authorities had failed to raise the concerns during the legislature's deliberations and negotiations, she said.
She said it left her no choice but to believe that the authorities had come under pressure from food companies.
Tien said that the health authorities had agreed to revive in stages by July next year the registration of compound additives, a practice that had been suspended in 2000, mandating that three kinds of substances — preservatives, antioxidants and bleaching agents — be accounted for to complete registration and examination.
"Other compound additives are to be evaluated for their health risks by the food safety risk assessment committee and sorted for a scheduled inspection. What I'm asking is that this schedule is laid out and announced by July next year," Tien said, adding that there is not even an article that could discipline the health authorities "if [the health authorities] decide to have the inspection schedule spanning 30 to 50 years."
Food and Drug Administration Deputy Director-General Chiang Yu-mei (姜郁美) said that the compound additive registration rules were too strict and "no other countries have similar rules."
According to Tien, the regulation on compound additives will not expose a food product's formula since the rule requires the revelation of the additives used, not their percentages.
"Thailand, for example, even requires the percentages of the ingredients to be labeled. Why were there no 'trade barrier' protests there?" she asked.
The Ministry of Health and Welfare announced on Dec. 27 last year that spices were exempt from the full-disclosure requirement.
The National Development Council said in a statement that foreign chambers of commerce are satisfied with the measure, adding that media reports about one of its officials saying that Coca-Cola Co was planning to retreat from Taiwan were "inconsistent with what the official actually said" and "had caused trouble to both the council and the corporation."
As for the regulations compelling the raw materials in genetically modified (GM) foods to be registered and labeled as such when a certain threshold amount was reached, which an official of the economic affairs ministry's Office of Trade Negotiations has said creates a trade barrier, Tien said that Taiwan is now among the countries with the most loosely regulated GM food labeling laws.

So the other day I was reading a post over at the Assault Blog titled Why Twitter Followers Are Worthless. The author argued that:
1. "If you can't mobilize your followers for feedback, links, retweets or an opinion: they're worthless."
This is somewhat true. When I first started blogging about a year and a half ago I used my existing Twitter account to send out links to posts that I'd do on this blog. For the first month or so I received minimal feedback or retweets.
I was following a ton of T-Shirt people and yet no one seemed to care about my content. The main thing that I learned is that Twitter is a two way street. Unless YOU care about the people that YOU follow on Twitter then YOU are worthless to THEM.
Once I started providing my opinions to tweets I'd read over Twitter, leaving feedback and retweeting I started to notice that people would do the same for the content that I pumped out over Twitter.
Twitter is a two way interactive street. Provide worth to your followers and the people that follow you will be worth their weight in gold 100 times over.
2. "Twitter is a vehicle for word of mouth, but offline word of mouth is always better than online word of mouth."
I disagree. I don't think my blog would have grown as much as it did and as fast as it did without the online word of mouth gained through the use of Twitter. Had I not utilized Twitter, my blog might just be another blog. Instead, I have a strong following of people who love T-Shirts and enjoy visiting my site to get the latest tee related scoops.
In fact, I made it a point not to SPAM my Facebook friends (people that I actually know in real life) with status updates linking back to my blog. I didn't even announce my blog on my Facebook profile despite the fact that my 300-400 Facebook friends would have seen it. I wanted to see how much the blog would grow minus the friend and family factor. Other people automate updates on their blog to their personal Facebook page. I don't do this and I will explain in a future post why I don't.
Coty's Followers/Following Rule
I started to follow the "big" people in my niche (T-Shirts) and I'd take a look at the people that they followed and I would selectively follow those that I thought had an interest in tees.
Note that I don't have a monstrous or unbalanced followers/following count. I follow about 1800 people and have about 1100 followers. A balance in the number of people you follow and the number that follow you (followers) is a good thing. It means that more times than not, when you followed someone they followed you back. Or, when someone followed you, you found their content interesting enough to follow them back.
Remember, Twitter is a two way interactive street. So be weary of people whose follow/follower count are not balanced (i.e. they follow 300,000 people but have 23 followers). These are probably SPAM accounts, don't follow these people. I'm a little follow heavy when it comes to Twitter, when you encounter these types of people you need to take into account their tweet history and even the link they provide on their profile page (covered in next section). When it comes to the followers/following rule you really want to be aware of the extremes, for instance:
How To Choose Who To Follow?
Once you start using Twitter you'll start to get people who follow you that you aren't currently following. You can do one of two things:
1. Ignore the Twitter email notifying you of a new follower.
2. Click on the notification email and review the stats of the person following you.
Ignoring people over Twitter is a bad idea. Twitter is a two way interactive street, remember?
Therefore that leaves us with option #2. So you take a look at the user stats that is included in the notification email and then from there you can make a "trim the fat" decision. This when you use the Followers/Following rule: If they have an unbalanced Twitter Followers/Following count I usually ignore them and do not follow them back. They are probably SPAM.
If however, they have a balanced Twitter Followers/Following count OR they have a username related to my niche then I'll take look at their Twitter profile.
For example, @Timothyfree decided to follow me on Twitter. I took a look at the notification email and he passed the Followers/Following Rule. Next step is to take a look at his Twitter profile page.
So now I am taking a look at their Twitter profile and at this point I need to decide to follow him on Twitter or not. My decision of whether to follow or not to follow hinges on a few things:
- Are they following other people in my niche? Go through and look at the people they are following.
- Do they've have an interesting profile link (bonus if they link back to a tee related site), or
- Does their Tweet history show relevance to my niche?
So continuing on with @Timothyfree's profile, I notice that he is linked to Freedom Clothing. Perfect, another clothing company to keep under my radar. But I do notice that his followers/following numbers have changed from when he initially followed me. That's fine because I checked out his profile links, his tweet history and I know he is not SPAM, instead, he is someone that I'd  be interested in connecting with on Twitter. His tweet history shows that he likes to tweet about personal life stuff but that's okay because when I looked through the list people he follow I found the official Twitter account for his clothing brand and I decided to follow that.
Once I review these three things I make a gut decision as to whether or not I follow this new person. I decide to follow @Timothyfree.
If you follow these steps then I promise you that you will develop a community of Twitter followers that actually care about what you are talking about. And once this happens, online word of mouth becomes a gazillion times more powerful then offline word of mouth. This is all based on the quality of your online word of mouth reach. And remember, since Twitter is a two way interactive street and you're interacting with your community, your community members will be much more likely to retweet your content and/or provide feedback. Once this starts to happen on a regular basis then that's when the online Twitter world becomes your oyster. Eat it up.
Some take home points:
- Twitter is a two way interactive street.
- Remember the Follow/Foller Rule and be weary of people whose follow/follower count are not balanced.
- Trim The Fat, but don't ignore new followers, see what they have to offer before you decide to follow or not follow them.
- Once you've built a quality number of Twitter followers, don't forget to continue to provide good content and leave good feedback.
I'd love to know what you think of this post. Also, if you have a different strategy for following people I'd love to hear about it!

I have noticed over the years that every so often magazines (and now blogs) feature beautiful spreads of book-filled rooms, with headlines like "Living With Books" or "The Pages of Our Lives." Usually the images feature poetic, far-off places where leather volumes fill 15-foot-tall, wood-paneled shelves, or sparse rooms with gauzy curtains have stacks of books on the floor, standing like architectural columns. As a book lover, I find these rooms transporting and inspirational but totally out of touch. A growing number of people, I think, don't have books. After all, who wants those heavy, clunky volumes when you can store a seemingly endless library on a device that weighs less than a single paperback?
So this leads me to wonder: In a world without books, what happens to our bookshelves?
Unfortunately, bookshelves are suffering from the same fate as the television armoire — some of us just don't need them. Instead of housing our libraries, bookshelves have become the dumping ground for tchotchkes, mail, papers, picture frames, empty vases and, on occasion, an actual book. The empty cavities attract only chaos and disorder. Of course, there are things you can do to improve your shelves' appearance in the absence of books: Fill them with smart-looking storage boxes (check out colored and patterned varieties at www.containerstore.com or www.ikea.com, but make sure you measure the shelves before you buy), display a well-edited collection of ceramics or other objects, or use pictures, either leaning or hung over the shelf, to fill voids. Just keep in mind that unlike closets and closed cabinets, open shelves reveal everything, which means one needs to take more care in their styling.
For me, a world without actual, tangible books is a sad reality. Books give a room warmth and character (not to mention the positive effect educators say just being in the presence of books has on our kids' learning). When books are authentically collected, they highlight your interests and passions. (I am against decorators who buy books by the foot, with no interest whatsoever in the book itself other than the color of its spine.) My good friend Benjamin Wallace, author of "The Billionaire's Vinegar," once described the books on his shelf as "tombstones," each one like a postcard from a virtual literary trip that he has taken. I am on his page. I look at my books in the same way that I look at my photos — each one recalls a moment in time, a story, or a place that I don't want to forget. So although I have both a Kindle and an iPad, I still buy physical books, as does my husband. We have a lot of them. They spill over our bedside tables and coffee table, fill four walls of our foyer and line walls in each of our kids' bedrooms. Call us old-fashioned; they are the objects we can't live without.
I recently decided to repaint our bookshelves, which meant that I had to remove every single volume. It was quite an endeavor, not only because my books were organized by category, but also because I had styled the shelves with objects "just so." In order to remember where everything went, I took photos of the shelves with my phone before dismantling them. Here is how I put them back:
1. Edit: Remove everything from your shelves and sort books by size and subject matter (i.e. fiction, cooking, gardening, reference). Remove and discard any ripped dust jackets.
2. Line 'em up: Line books up on shelves, stacking them both horizontally and vertically in a rhythmic pattern. This adds visual interest to the shelves and breaks up the monotony of rows upon rows of books.
3. Conceal: Maximize unused space with attractive boxes. Boxes allow you to neatly store anything, and their solid blocks of color break up the rows of books.
4. Embellish: Add ceramics and other objects for visual interest. Photographs or small works of art leaning against a stack of books personalize a bookshelf and prevent it from looking too staged.

You might assume that the criminal hackers who compromise websites, plant trojans, and deploy powerful botnet armies pay a bit more attention to security than we do. You'd be wrong, according to security vendor Avast. Apparently they're just as guilty of using crappy passwords as the general public.
Avast's Antonin Hyza spends his working week analyzing malware, and he's been amassing a collection of passwords as part of his duties. He's checked out around 40,000 so far, and determined that password security often isn't a top concern.
For example, the average length of a password in Hyza's database? It's just six characters, not even close to enough to effectively thwart a brute force attack using modern hardware. Howsecureismypassword figures that passwords this short only take a few seconds to crack, even if they're a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols. Out of the 1,601 passwords Hyza extracted, only 52 of them were longer than 12 characters — considered by many experts to be the minimum length for a strong password in 2014.
Beyond being far too short, a lot of the passwords (nearly 10%) are based on words found in a dictionary. Leaving yourself vulnerable to a dictionary attack in 2014 is facepalm-worthy stuff, especially when security pros have been yelling at us for years to at least change things up. Most criminals, however, aren't even bothering to throw in a symbol to make things trickier. They're content to use things like hack, password, and, of course, the f-bomb, and most don't even mix upper and lower case.
Some hackers do make at least a half-hearted attempt. They figure that a quick translation to leetspeek will do the trick, but it's not 1995 any more and Acid Burn is not the most awesome hacker on the planet. Today's password-cracking engines know these tricks inside and out, and they can swap 4 for a and 1 for l without missing a beat. Microsoft's neat little password tool can show you just how easy it is for a machine to guess these switches nowadays.
Many are even guilty of one of the cardinal sins of security: not bothering to change default credentials. That makes it easier for researchers like Hyza to undo their criminal machinations. Talk about lazy.
Ultimately, if Hyza's looking to crack a password on a piece of malware, he's comfortable playing the odds and using lower case English words, a number or two, and no more than six characters. This is one situation where it's fine to encourage folks to continues using weak passwords.

The Metamorphosis of the David Price Bobblehead
8 Comments
Haha, I just love the fact that there is a picture of David Price on the wall. Very creative. Love the "transformation" too. David Price will be starting for AL and congrats!! However, since I'm a NL girl, I must root for NL tomorrow. Best of luck to AL and may the best team win!
It is going to be a game of passing the torch in my mind. I am betting the younger player are going to make this a new generation All Star contest. Not to push Derek Jeter, Vernon Wells or even Albert Pujols to the corner…But just have a feeling youth will trump experience tomorrownight.
Rays Renegade
My favorite is the glasses.
Mainly because it is a picture of Price withglasses, with a nice white strip of tape in the middle of them. Only thing missing was skulls on the corners and I would be calling Price…"Wild Thing".
I am hoping for another AL win……
Rays Renegade
These are truly hilarious. For some reason, my favorite is the nasal strip! Anyhow, good luck to Price tomorrow night – sweet honor to get the start – and may the American League prevail once again.
AHAHAHAHAHA! Hilarious! I love this sorta stuff! Great reportage, Cliff. Simply great!
I am starting to notice that the normal looking ones are the guys with the devious personalities.
They are the ones that draw the unusual eyes and beards, not the flamboyant players. But I guess this is just Andy Sonnanstine's niche……Kind of soft-spoken, then bang! humor comes out by the barrel full.
Rays Renegade
It is wild what you can do with simple black electrical tape.
But then again, Andy Sonnanstine seems to have a great knack of chilling the tension and making his Rays teammates relax and laugh…Sometimes at themselves.
I am just glad we have a guy like him on our squad. Makes following this team a new adventure all the time.

'The Rifleman' says Bulger had a chilling routine
BOSTON — Confessed killer Stephen Flemmi spent much of Monday morning depicting his longtime partner, James "Whitey" Bulger, as a ruthless mob boss with a chilling routine: to murder the vulnerable and then recline while others disposed of remains.
But by early Monday afternoon, the tables had turned. The 79-year-old Flemmi, known as "The Rifleman," was the one looking like a monster as he described his once-fatherly, then-sexual relationship with Deborah Hussey, his stepdaughter, whose 1985 murder he helped coordinate.
It was gloves-off lawyering in Day 26 of Bulger's 32-count racketeering trial. Both sides vied to exploit all the government's star witness had to offer.
As Bulger's closest partner from 1974 to 1994, Flemmi knows literally where the bodies are buried and can help jurors judge whether Bulger, 83, was involved in 19 murders, plus extortion and other crimes.
Prosecutors scored first. Flemmi, who is serving a life term in prison, portrayed Bulger as an egomaniac who overruled other gang members, insisted on murders to eliminate threats and killed troubled women with his own hands. He implicated Bulger in four murders.
The death of Hussey, a prostitute and drug addict, was especially disturbing. Unable to get clean, she was showing up at bars, using drugs in public and talking about her ties to the Winter Hill Gang,Flemmi said. He wanted to send her away to end unwanted attention on the gang, but Bulger insisted she be killed, according to Flemmi's testimony.
Flemmi said he took her to a South Boston house where, he said, Bulger murder victims were already buried in the basement. Holding a rope, Bulger stepped out from behind a basement door. They tumbled to the floor as Bulger strangled her.
"It didn't take long," Flemmi said. "She was a very fragile woman."
Bulger attorney Hank Brennan maintains it was Flemmi, not Bulger, who killed Hussey. On cross-examination Monday, Brennan tarred Flemmi as all too willing to harm someone who had once called him "Daddy." Flemmi admitted to having had oral sex with her.
Yet when she was younger, he had seen himself as her provider and protector.
"Nobody would hurt her," Flemmi said, explaining how he once defended her with a pistol.
"Except you," Brennan said.
Flemmi's account of her death had Bulger reclining upstairs on the floor while Flemmi dug a hole and removed her clothes and teeth to prevent identification. When asked why Bulger always seems to rest while others clean up, Flemmi offered a theory.
"Maybe he was mentally or physically exhausted," Flemmi said. "Maybe he got a high on it — that was my interpretation."
At stake in Monday's emotionally charged moments was how jurors will remember Bulger and Flemmi when they deliberate.
Flemmi rendered Bulger as so self-interested that he would kill to thwart threats or trump up false charges — anything to protect himself. Flemmi detailed several situations where Bulger reached out to the FBI and pinned his own crimes, such as the murders of Brian Halloran and John Callahan, on other groups or individuals.
Bulger "was trying to divert the attention away from Mr. Bulger," Flemmi said. "He was trying to put the heat somewhere else.
Perhaps more important than whether Bulger is remembered as a ruthless egomaniac is whether Flemmi is remembered as a liar above all else. He said that in prior testimony, he has answered "yes, yes, yes" when lawyers asked him "boring" questions that he considered "insignificant."
Flemmi said he never held Hussey on his knee when she was a child. But Brennan pressed him on whether he had been truthful in the past when he said under oath that he had in fact held her on his knee.
"The testimony was all true, except for that couple of issues there that weren't significant to me, and I just answered, 'Correct,' " Flemmi said.
"So it's OK to be truthful on most of the things, but on some of the things — if you're not truthful, that's OK?" Brennan said.
Flemmi returns to the stand for more cross-examination Tuesday.

Nobody wants to think about the possibility of needing long-term care. But if, somewhere down the line, you and/or your spouse do need assistance, will you have the funds available to pay for care? How much will an extended stay in a nursing facility or care received in your own home cost? Will you be able to meet this cost and still pay your and/or your spouse's personal living expenses? Will there be enough left over to provide an inheritance for your loved ones or your favorite charity? Does it make sense to self-insure when private long-term-care coverage may be available? This calculator will assist you in answering these questions.
Based on your assumptions, the results show the potential cost of care for one year, three years, five years, and 10 years of care.
Long-term care costs can be financially devastating, especially if care is needed
for an extended time. And remember, these results estimate the potential costs for
one person. What if both you and your spouse needed care simultaneously?
This table assumes that long-term-care inflation continues at the same rate entered

Usher + Nicki Minaj's 'She Came to Give it to You' Leaks Online [LISTEN]by Thomas Chau | PopCrush
A new single by Usher and Nicki Minaj titled 'She Came to Give it to You' premiered on the radio today, and rips of the recording are now circling the Internet.
The new track, 'She Came to Give it to You,' was produced by Pharrell Williams and features elements of old-school funk, disco and R&B, mixed with modern soul and, of course, awesome rhymes by Minaj.
The song's lyrics (courtesy of Just Jared) are focused on encouraging a guy at a club to get confident, be smooth, and make it happens, cause the girl he's eyeing is his to lose. "Imagine she can't get a getaway / Well she don't want nobody crowing the space / Huh, wouldn't that be weird? oh yeah / She was up all night to get down."
'She Game to Give it to You' marks the first song collaboration between Usher and Nicki Minaj since 'Lil Freak' off the 'Raymond vs. Raymond' album in 2010. The single will be off of Usher's upcoming untitled eighth studio album, which hasn't been given a release date yet.

Teacher resources and professional development across the curriculum
Teacher professional development and classroom resources across the curriculum
A video course for high school teachers and college level instruction; 13 half-hour video programs, online text, course guide, and Web site; graduate credit available
1. The Primes
The properties and patterns of prime numbers — whole numbers that are divisible only by themselves and one — have been a source of wonder across cultures for thousands of years, and the study of prime numbers is fundamental to mathematics. This unit explores our fascination with primes, culminating in the million-dollar puzzle of the Riemann Hypothesis, a possible description of the pattern behind the primes, and the use of the primes as the foundation of modern cryptography. Go to this unit.
2. Combinatorics Counts
Counting is an act of organization, a listing of a collection of things in an orderly fashion. Sometimes it's easy; for instance counting people in a room. But listing all the possible seating arrangements of those people around a circular table is more challenging. This unit looks at combinatorics, the mathematics of counting complicated configurations. In an age in which the organization of bits and bytes of data is of paramount importance — as with the human genome — combinatorics is essential. Go to this unit.
3. How Big Is Infinity?
Throughout the ages, the notion of infinity has been a source of mystery and paradox, a philosophical question to ponder. As a mathematical concept, infinity is at the heart of calculus, the notion of irrational numbers — and even measurement. This unit explores how mathematics attempts to understand infinity, including the creative and intriguing work of Georg Cantor, who initiated the study of infinity as a number, and the role of infinity in standardized measurement. Go to this unit.
4. Topology's Twists and Turns
Topology, known as "rubber sheet math," is a field of mathematics that concerns those properties of an object that remain the same even when the object is stretched and squashed. In this unit we investigate topology's seminal relationship to network theory, the study of connectedness, and its critical function in understanding the shape of the universe in which we live. Go to this unit.
5. Other Dimensions
The conventional notion of dimension consists of three degrees of freedom: length, width, and height, each of which is a quantity that can be measured independently of the others. Many mathematical objects, however, require more — potentially many more — than just three numbers to describe them. This unit explores different aspects of the concept of dimension, what it means to have higher dimensions, and how fractional or "fractal" dimensions may be better for measuring real-world objects such as ferns, mountains, and coastlines. Go to this unit.
6. The Beauty of Symmetry
In mathematics, symmetry has more than just a visual or geometric quality. Mathematicians comprehend symmetries as motions — motions whose interactions and overall structure give rise to an important mathematical concept called a "group." This unit explores Group Theory, the mathematical quantification of symmetry, which is key to understanding how to remove structure from (i.e., shuffle) a deck of cards or to fathom structure in a crystal. Go to this unit.
7. Making Sense of Randomness
Probability is the mathematical study of randomness, or events in which the outcome is uncertain. This unit examines probability, tracing its evolution from a way to improve chances at the gaming table to modern applications of understanding traffic flow and financial markets. Go to this unit.
8. Geometries Beyond Euclid
Our first exposure to geometry is that of Euclid, in which all triangles have 180 degrees. As it turns out, triangles can have more or less than 180 degrees. This unit explores these curved spaces that are at once otherwordly and firmly of this world — and present the key to understanding the human brain. Go to this unit.
9. Game Theory
Competition and cooperation can be studied mathematically, an idea that first arose in the analysis of games like chess and checkers, but soon showed its relevance to economics and geopolitical strategy. This unit shows how conflict and strategies can be thought about mathematically, and how doing so can reveal important insights about human and even animal behaviors. Go to this unit.
10. Harmonious Math
All sound is the product of airwaves crashing against our eardrums. The mathematical technique for understanding this and other wave phenomena is called Fourier analysis, which allows the disentangling of a complex wave into basic waves called sinusoids, or sine waves. In this unit we discover how Fourier analysis is used in creating electronic music and underpins all digital technology. Go to this unit.
11. Connecting with Networks
Connections can be physical, as with bridges, or immaterial, as with friendships. Both types of connections can be understood using the same mathematical framework called network theory, or graph theory, which is a way to abstract and quantify the notion of connectivity. This unit looks at how this branch of mathematics provides insights into extremely complicated networks such as ecosystems. Go to this unit.
12. In Sync
Systems of synchronization occur throughout the animate and inanimate world. The regular beating of the human heart, the swaying and near collapse of the Millennium Bridge, the simultaneous flashing of gangs of fireflies in Southeast Asia: these varied phenomena all share the property of spontaneous synchronization. This unit shows how synchronization can be analyzed, studied, and modeled via the mathematics of differential equations, an outgrowth of calculus, and the application of these ideas toward understanding the workings of the heart. Go to this unit.
13. The Concepts of Chaos
The flapping of a butterfly's wings over Bermuda causes a rainstorm in Texas. Two sticks start side by side on the surface of a brook, only to follow divergent paths downstream. Both are examples of the phenomenon of chaos, characterized by a widely sensitive dependence of the future on slight changes in a system's initial conditions. This unit explores the mathematics of chaos, which involves the discovery of structure in what initially appears to be randomness, and which imposes limits on predictability. Go to this unit.

On one of my first trips to Louisville, we visited Spinelli's Pizzeria parlor on Baxter, which has become one of Louisville's best pizza parlors. Since its conception and opening in September 2004, the restaurant has been growing steadily and with Brian Gaughan's artistic vision and influence, it was only going to be a matter of time before the place became a lowrider-themed bar and restaurant. Spinelli's location on Dixie Highway has also been a big milestone for the restaurant, as Mayor Greg Fischer of Louisville was on hand to cut the red ribbon during the grand opening festivities. Since the ribbon cutting ceremony this new location has been every bit as successful as the original store.
The full bar features graphics and artwork done by the lowrider industry's own Josh Culver, who is also known for his work with Culver Customs. If you have ever followed any of the Lowrider Paint Panel Jams; you've seen some of his artwork alongside the industry's best. This bar features a flake base that was laid out with pearl fades, multicolor, tape shades, custom airbrushing, and a variety of gold leafing. Some of the intricate designs are as if you were looking at a lowrider paintjob during a super show! If you do drop by, don't worry about the beautiful artwork getting damaged, as the complete piece was protected with restaurant industrial resin that was designed for commercial usage. With lowrider artwork throughout the space, and a car-themed restaurant and bar; it was only natural that we feature Spinelli's in our pages.

Story highlights
- Former New York Mayor Ed Koch, 88, is in an intensive care unit
- He "was in obvious discomfort," his spokesman tells CNN affiliate WCBS
Former New York City Mayor Ed Koch has been placed in the intensive care unit at New York-Presbyterian Hospital, his spokesman said Thursday.
Koch spokesman George Arzt, who spoke to the former mayor this morning, told CNN affiliate WCBS that the mayor "was in obvious discomfort."
"After I spoke to him ... his lead doctor and cardiologist decided that he should be put into the intensive care unit," Arzt said.
Koch, 88, was hospitalized last September for anemia and underwent a blood transfusion at the same hospital.
The lawyer-turned-public-servant was a U.S. congressman from 1968 until he ran for mayor of the city in 1977. He served three terms -- from 1978 to 1989 -- until he was defeated in a Democratic primary by David Dinkins.
After he left office, Koch -- whose ebullient personality made him popular nationwide -- practiced law, hosted a radio show, was a newspaper columnist and made countless appearances on TV series as himself. His cameos included "Sex and the City," "Spin City," and "Picket Fences."
For two years starting in 1997, he was the judge on the syndicated show "The People's Court."
