What's the secret to happiness? In this delightful book brimming with poignant passages, radio personality Hugh Hewitt provides the answer.
Order your copy of The Happiest Life today and get access to amazing gifts:
For anyone looking for the secret to a happier and more meaningful life, Hugh Hewitt knows the starting place is generosity. Giving gifts sparks happiness in both the life of the recipient and the giver, and there are seven gifts that are more powerful than any others:
You don't need wealth to give these gifts. You don't have to be twenty-one. You don't even have to be literate. Everyone can give them, but Hewitt shows that some people are particularly well-placed to offer these gifts: parents, spouses, family members, friends, teachers, co-workers, and fellow church members.
Channeling his skills as a broadcaster, journalist, lawyer, and teacher, Hewitt details these seven gifts and seven givers, inspiring and motivating readers to become generous in the ways that matter most.
Hugh Hewitt's The Happiest Life is a must read for anyone looking for the practical way to help themselves and improve the lives of others. Through the lens of his own life experiences, Hewitt reveals in this beautifully-written book the paradoxical truth that freely giving away what we value most is what makes us fully alive. Beyond simply advocating conventional money donations, The Happiest Life will convince readers to get serious about giving away their precious time, talent, attention, and affection-and thus reveal their own best selves.~ Arthur C. Brooks, president of The American Enterprise Institute and author of The Road to Freedom ~
We become what we do, and Hugh Hewitt's career testifies to his good will, his faith, the love he bears for his family, his generous humor and his erudition on an astonishing range of history, politics, current events and literature. No one commands a topic or marshals an argument as skillfully as Hugh; yet he does both with unfailing courtesy. That spirit is alive on every page of this book. 'The Happiest Life' is not simply a delight to read, and not merely a glimpse under the hood of a remarkable man. It's a map to what Robert Frost once described as the road less traveled – the road that leads to a life of meaning and gratitude and joy.~ Charles J. Chaput, O.F.M. Cap., Archbishop of Philadelphia ~
Wanna be a happier person? Know anyone else who does? What if this book could actually help with that? Cutting to the chase:it can. And it will. It will change lives. I cannot think of a book more fit to give away indiscriminately to anyone I know. The winsome wisdom within its eminently readable pages is worth more than gold. Where has this book been all our lives? Am I gushing? Good.~ Eric Metaxas, New York Times Best-selling author of Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy and 7 Men: and the Secret of their Greatness ~

New focus on the tumor-pedophile case
The case of the male schoolteacher treated at the University of Virginia Medical Center for tumors that seem to have turned him into a pedophile back in the year 2000 is enjoying a new round of publicity. For starters, there's an article on the tragic case in the January/February issue of Legal Affairs magazine. And today, a caller from a London-based documentary film company contacted the Hook for information. (We didn't have much.) But it's a scary story, according to a 2003 AP story because the man had a spotless record before, at age 40, suddenly finding himself addicted to child pornography and sentenced for molesting his stepdaughter. UVA neurologists Jeffrey Burns and Russell Swerdlow found that an egg-sized tumor was pressing on the man's frontal lobe. When the tumor was gone, the dastardly behavior ceased.

A three-pack of Dolphins notes to get you through your Thursday afternoon:
1. Cameron Wake continues to skip Dolphins voluntary workouts.
Today is Day 3 of the Dolphins' offseason program, and Wake continues to sit out in silent protest of his contract situation, a source confirmed. We're not going to provide a daily update, because this thing could drag on for awhile, but it's good to know for record-keeping purposes that Wake continues to sit out.

My Aunt Paula got me a dozen clear plastic baseball cubes so that I can display some more of my autographed baseballs, and my dad got me 2 more, so I was super excited about that. I still need at least another dozen, but it's a great start! And I'm planning to keep getting autographs, so I hope my family keeps 'em coming!
But the best thing was that my dad got me one of the Michael Young bats that was designed when he became the franchise hits leader this season! They only made 2010 bats, and mine came with a certificate stating that it was number 109!!
My dad said he got it several months ago, so it has just been sitting at his house waiting for Christmas!
My mom and step-dad also got me a framed picture that says "Texas Rangers," but each letter of "Rangers" has a different picture. The first one is the famous Nolan Ryan picture with the bloody jersey after Robin Ventura charged the mound, and all of the other pictures are from the 2010 season, including Josh Hamilton, Vladdy, Michael Young, Ian Kinsler, Neftali Feliz, etc.
I think those were all of my baseball-related Christmas gifts, but a few days ago I purchased my 2011 20-game Mini Plan! Woo-hoo!!!
I know I haven't blogged since Cliff Lee decided to go to the Phillies, so some of you may think that it caused me to go into a massive depression and I couldn't bear to write about baseball.
The truth is that I just got busy. It's easy to put baseball on the back burner when it's not baseball season. And the longer I wait, the more stuff happens and I get farther and farther behind. So bear with me, okay?
Alright, in the last month (after Cliff Lee left), Zack Greinke was traded to the Milwaukee Brewers and Matt Garza was traded to the Chicago Cubs. Uh oh. That means all the good pitchers are gone, right?
Wrong. (Hopefully)
After the Greinke trade but before the Garza trade, the Rangers signed Brandon Webb. When I first heard the name, I knew it sounded familiar, but I couldn't remember why.
As it turns out, Webb won the Cy Young while playing for the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2006. But he hasn't played in a Major League game in the past 2 years because he's been recovering/rehabbing from a shoulder injury/surgery.
I have a good feeling about Brandon Webb, and his surgery was performed by Rangers' team doctor Dr. Keith Meister, so THAT'S gotta be good. But Brandon Webb could be to 2011 what Rich Harden was to 2010. Who knows, right?
The Rangers also signed lefty reliever Arthur Rhodes, and I knew his name was familiar as well. He is 41 years old! But he made it to the All-Star team for the first time last year as the representative from the Cincinnati Reds.
He has been in the Major Leagues since 1991, and his age doesn't seem to be adversely affecting him. He missed all of the 2007 season due to Tommy John surgery, but in the last 3 years since the surgery he's had a 2.32 ERA and an opponent's batting average of .204. Not too shabby!
He's also a native Texan, which is always nice.
But the Rangers' biggest aquisition this off-season is at what was previously considered a very stable position: 3rd base.
Michael Young is the face of the Texas Rangers, having spent all of his time in the majors on this team and even holding the franchise record for hits. He is signed through 2013. But since his move to 3rd base 2 years ago, his defensive ability seems to have taken a hit.
It had been suggested by numerous blogs (maybe even mine, but I don't remember) that Young might be better used as a DH. And that is exactly what MY offered to do when Adrian Beltre became available as an option for the Texas Rangers.
Beltre accepted a 6-year $96 million dollar deal from the Texas Rangers, and he will be our 3rd baseman of the future. I've always liked Adrian Beltre, but since he's 31 years old, I'm not too comfortable with giving him such a long contract.
But Beltre has won 2 Gold Gloves at 3rd base and is obviously defensively superior to Michael Young. No offense, Mikey, but the Rangers now have the strongest left side in all of baseball with Beltre at 3rd and Elvis Andrus at shortstop.
The only thing that makes me sad about adding Beltre? No more Vladdy. Michael Young has become the DH of the near future, so there's no longer an open spot for Vladdy.
I know his performance took a sharp downward turn midway through last season, but I just love Vladdy. His personality seemed to fit perfectly in the Rangers' clubhouse, and his quick smile is so contagious. I'll miss you, Big Bad Vlad.
Now the Rangers are rumored to be courting Jim Thome to take turns at DH with Michael Young. Since MY can play all 4 infield positions, I'm sure the Rangers can work out a schedule where Young spends half his time at DH and the other half giving the other guys in the infield a break.
Jim Thome seems to make more sense for the Rangers at DH than Vlad for 2011, especially in light of this article by BBTiA a few weeks ago. It predicts that Thome will probably expect 350-400 plate appearances in 2011, whereas Vlad would probably expect somewhere around 600 or so.
Thome is also generally regarded as a good clubhouse guy, so that's promising. We'll just have to wait and see what happens.
The Rangers' Winter Caravan has kicked off, and I'm planning to attend 2 of the appearances to gather some more autographs to my collection.
Then on January 22-23, the Rangers will be hosting their first 2-day Fan Fest, and I can't wait to see what that entails! Some good stuff coming up!

1899 Queen's South Africa medal with Transvaal and South Africa 1902 clasp named in impressed block lettering to 7817 Corpl W. Whitehead VolCoy Cheshire Regt. Medal graded as NEF.
The medals I am selling on this site have been collected since the 1980's by my ex father in law who came over to Australia in the 50's (a ten pound Pom as we call them in Australia) and as none of his children are interested in the collection I have been given the task of selling them. There are a couple of hundred medals overall which will be progressively listed over the next few months. Some medals are in groups, many singles, some with original cases but most without. All gradings are as per the dealers description from whom the medals have been purchased. I have described the medals as accurately as I can and obviously as such the photos form an important part of the description.
I am happy to provide more photos upon request but there may be a small delay in sending them as the medals are kept in a Bank Security Box in a city which I only get to once a week.
Please note that all listings which are sold will remain on the site for 14 days after the day of postage.
Layaway facility to suite your budget is available, details on request.
Postage and insurance if applicable to be paid by the purchaser at cost.

Payment types accepted, Australian Dollar Bank Transfer or Paypal, (but only if your prepared to use the 'send money to friends and family' function).
I collect items related to the Dardenelles campaign, more the Australian items but not necessarily exclusively so. Not normally medals or badges per se but interesting ephemera so some horse trading is possible with an interesting enough item/s. I am also a member of the Gallipoli Association so there are postings on their site that I have done if that interests you.
Any queries please contact me by email or, by mobile: 0497 426 139 but please remember I'm in Australia and the timing of phone calls should take into account the time difference.

This innovative collection of modular, easily integrated cloud-based security intelligence solutions allows network-focused partners to deliver advanced security capabilities that maximize business performance and guard their customers against rapidly evolving Internet-based threats such as phishing, Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) and advanced malware.
Due to the rapidly evolving nature of the threat landscape, network security companies need to consistently innovate in order to help their customers stay ahead of the latest threats. The Webroot Security Intelligence for Networks Suite, powered by the Webroot Intelligence Network (WIN), the world's most comprehensive cloud-based security intelligence service, addresses this need and is easily leveraged via cloud-based APIs and SDKs.

Northern Maine hospital gets biomass boiler, which will offset 100K gallons of heating oil
FORT KENT, Maine (AP) � A northern Maine hospital has a new biomass boiler that will offset the need for 100,000 gallons of heating oil per year.
An open house to show off the new boiler at Northern Maine Medical Center in Fort Kent is scheduled for Monday.
The new boiler utilizing local trees and other dead vegetation will help the hospital to lower heating bills, improve energy efficiency, and reduce dependence on foreign oil. It replaces three outdated boilers and is expected to save the hospital $200,000 annually in operating costs.
The biomass boiler was funded through a U.S. Department of Agriculture guaranteed loan of $6.7 million in partnership with Katahdin Trust.

Have you heard of a shrub?
As co-sponsors of Eat Local First Week, Slow Food DC was lucky enough to have a booth at the Farm to Street festival on the only cold rainy Saturday this July. And beyond just giving out information about our upcoming events, we felt like this was a great opportunity to showcase an Ark of Taste product that both preserves and highlights the peak ripeness of summer fruit–the Shrub.
A drink with colonial roots, a shrub is basically a vinegary fruit syrup. The high sugar content and acidity of the vinegar preserved the harvest in a time well before refrigeration. Mixed with cold water, it becomes a tart yet sweet summer thirst quencher. Today, it can be mixed with soda water, or made into a cocktail with the spirit of your choice, such as Gin or Whiskey. It could even make a decent champagne cocktail or wine spritzer.
There are various methods to creating a shrub. The following is the way I created the five shrubs showcased at our booth. But please, be creative! With so many wonderful varieties of vinegar out there, and an infinite combination of spices and herbs you can include, you can truly make this your own creation. The most basic ratio is one part fruit to one part vinegar to one part sugar, but even this is a suggestion. Adjust as needed given the natural sweetness of the fruit, acidity of the vinegar, and how you plan on using the shrub.
makes 20-30 servings
1. Combine one cup of fruit and one cup of vinegar to a saucepan. Bring to a boil and simmer until the fruit has softened. Mash with a potato masher or muddler to extract more juice and flavor.
2. Pour the mashed fruit and vinegar mixture into a sterilized jar. Cover and let sit at least 24 hours, and up to three days.
3. Strain the fruit and vinegar mixture into a saucepan. It is perfectly acceptable to place the fruit inside cheesecloth and squeeze out the juice.
4. Add a cup of sugar to the juice and bring to a simmer over medium low heat. Let the mixture reduce until slightly thickened, about five minutes.
5. Pour the shrub into a sterilized jar or bottle. Refridgerate for best preservation of quality. The flavors should mellow over time.
Once the shrub has cooled, add a small amount to a glass with ice and fill with cold water or seltzer water. Enjoy!
Here are the shrubs made for the Farm to Street party:
- Sour Cherry with Sherry and Balsamic Vinegar
- Strawberry with Sherry and Balsamic Vinegar (The strawberries were local. I used a jar of homemade jam and left out the sugar part of the recipe. This is a great way to use your extra jam!)
- Plum with White Wine Vinegar and Juniper Berries
- Peach with Cider Vinegar, Cinnamon and Allspice
- Apple with Cider Vinegar and Cinnamon

Lindsay Ann Hawker: verdict is life in prison but eligible for parole after 10 years
Lindsay Ann Hawker: verdict is life in prison but eligible for parole after 10 years
Lee Jay Walker
Modern Tokyo Times
The verdict in the Lindsay Ann Hawker case was announced today (July, 21) and the judgment was life imprisonment for Tatsuya Ichihashi but in Japan this means that he may be able to get parole after 10 years depending on various factors. It had been stated that the father of Lindsay Ann Hawker had wanted the death penalty but this was never likely to happen. Therefore, the judgment of life imprisonment was always the most likely outcome and when the sentence was announced Tatsuya Ichihashi remained unattached and showed no emotion.
Currently it remains unclear if the Hawker family understands the reality of a life sentence in Japan because it is possible that Tatsuya Ichihashi may be released after ten years because he would be entitled for parole providing he met certain conditions. However, it is likely that he will serve at least twenty years.
Irrespective if the verdict meets the wishes of the Hawker family they simply have to draw a line under the legal issue and continue to re-build. Obviously, Lindsay Ann Hawker will always be in their hearts until the day they die and the pain and suffering must be unbearable.
Sadly, evil things like this happen to unfortunate families all over the world and questions of "why" or "if only" can never change anything. The radiant love of Lindsay Ann Hawker "stays within the heart" and clearly she would not want her family to suffer more pain, depression, anguish, and heartbreak.
The feelings of the Hawker family can only be understood by other families who have suffered at the hands of an individual who not only took away "a precious life" but did so in such a brutal way.
Lindsay Ann Hawker came to Japan with good intentions and Tatsuya Ichihashi abused both her naivety and innocence. Little did she know that Tatsuya Ichihashi had such brutality within his heart and mind therefore her final hours on this earth were pure hell.
The Hawker family will leave Japan and see little of the real beauty of this nation and the gentle nature of the overwhelming majority of individuals in this country.
In truth, the murder is not about ethnicity, nation, legal system and other factors; it is about the sad reality that people are killed all over the world by evil individuals who care little about the life of others. These individuals often fear the death penalty or being locked away but they don't mind destroying entire families and killing in such a brutal way.
Obviously the Hawker family has suffered greatly and part of them will be "ghosts of their former selves." They will continue to suffer but the only hope is that in time all mention of the name Tatsuya Ichihashi will be forgotten and instead only "the smiling loving Lindsay Ann Hawker will remain."
The Joji Obara (Kim Sung Jong) case did not bring justice to the family of Lucie Blackman. On the contrary, it rubbed the most painful salt into the wound.
In my article called Lindsay Ann Hawker: does the Joji Obara/ Kim Sung Jong case provide pointers? I state the following:
"It must be stated that all nations have cases of miscarriages of justice and no legal system is perfect. However, the Joji Obara case does worry many individuals because how did this individual escape the countless number of rapes that he did and the killing of Carita Ridgway in 1992?"
"Joji Obara (Kim Sung Jong) had been raping women for over a decade and he had hundreds of personal videos of raping women. Indeed, the police stated that he may have raped up to 400 women but the figure could even be higher. "
"However, are we to believe that every female who was raped by Joji Obara did not seek justice for what this serial rapist did? Not only this, the death of Carita Ridgway took place in 1992."
"Yet, despite everything Joji Obara was acquitted of the crime of Lucie Blackman's rape and death. Judge Tsutomu Tochigi commented that "There is nothing to prove that [Obara] was involved in the rape and her death. The court cannot prove he was single-handedly involved in her death."
"Indeed, the fact that this brutal serial rapist had video tapes to confirm the twisted nature of Joji Obara; and the fact the body of Lucie Blackman was so close to the home of Joji Obara; all this counted for nothing."
"Therefore, for many people it appears that a huge miscarriage of justice took place in the Lucie Blackman and Carita Ridgway case (not forgetting all the women who were raped)."
The verdict today in the Lindsay Ann Hawker case may or may not have been what the Hawker family had expected. However, I hope that this is the final chapter in the court case because if it isn't then the pain and suffering will continue to hurt even more because of no solace and escape.
Lindsay Ann Hawker was taken from this world in such a violent manor and no words can express the sympathies of so many people.

The Necessity of Biblical Authority
So, from where should we obtain truth? Many today obviously claim that science will ultimately determine all truth. Others say that philosophy or New Age religions will guide us. But let someone claim that truth comes only from the Word of God and you will see a flurry of rolled eyes and hear a conglomeration of elongated sighs. Yet this is the very place from which we must gather objective truth. It must be our standard of measurement, our rule of thumb in all situations. Without the Bible, we would be disconnected from the very source of life -- God.
Let's actually think for a minute. First, get past the delusion that Darwinism is in any way correct. It takes as much faith, if not more, to believe that something came from nothing as it does to believe that something temporal came from something eternal. We proved spontaneous combustion to be a hoax years ago, so why are there still scientists who believe in the Big Bang Theory? Second, realize that if a God created all of this world that we know of and gave to humans the ability to think and reason in such a way as to understand that He created us, then why would He not also give us an instruction book so as to be able to navigate through the treacherous waters we call "life"? And if He did give us such an instruction book, wouldn't it be able to survive the test of time, be authenticated by phenomena such as miracles, and be consistent, reasoned, livable, and ultimately lead us to a deeper understanding of Him? Third, think about what resource could be categorized by all of the above and also promote the best life for all of mankind. The answer is the Bible.
Now, Christians know that the Bible is the answer. What is disturbing is that a large group of Christians still do not take it seriously. They either say that it has errors and is unreliable or that it must be supplemented with psychology or sociology in such a way that it becomes completely irrelevant. And if Christians do not take the Bible seriously, how will we ever convince a lost and dying world to do so.
What we need in this country most right now is a consensus of authority. There is only one answer -- the Bible. Let us call our brethren to serious contemplation of the Scriptures and to living out a life that is consistent with what God has taught us through His Word. God has given us a great gift, a sword we must wield correctly in a world fraught with danger and deception. May we all understand the necessity of Biblical authority.
Soli Deo Gloria,

I should have written last night that the Avs might go after Darcy Tucker. I was going to do that, but somehow screwed up and forgot to do it. Oh well. He's an Av, by the way, signing a two-year deal.
Francois Giguere said yesterday the Avs would look to add some grit, hence the likelihood that Tucker might come here.
He certainly will bring an agitating presence with him. He's a great trash talker, and has a big heart as a player. I'm sure he'll be a big hit with Avs fans.
I'm just absolutely amazed, though, that the Maple Leafs gave Jeff Finger four year and $14 million. No wonder that team hasn't won a Stanley Cup since 1968. Unbelievable.
I liked Fingy but….aren't you kidding me? This is a guy who was gassed after 20 seconds of a shift and was a healthy scratch for most of the postseason, after he screwed up on what should have been an icing call in Game 3 of the first round.
From Tucker just now, via Mike Zeisberger from Toronto Sun: "The biggest thing for me was that Tony Granato got on the phone and swayed me over. First and foremost, it's a chance to win. They have a good group of young guys, plus Tony Granato is a big reason."

A man who lives near Oprah Winfrey's new property above Telluride, Colorado, is suing her for allegedly blocking access to hiking trails open to neighbors for decades.
Retired physicist Charles D. Goodman claims Winfrey's Yellow Brick Road company, the property's former owners and the town of Mountain Village made a secret deal to close access to the trails that cut across the land purchased for $10.9 million in March.
The Denver Post reported Thursday that the former owners, Hoyt and Carol Barnett, asked for a correction to property records shortly before selling the land.
Goodman claims that erased easements allowing residents of nearby homes to use the trails.
Mountain Village denies the accusation. Town community development director Chirs Hawkins said the correction only cleared up ambiguities and that the town and Winfrey's team want to continue to allow trail access.
In a written statement, Yellow Brick Road spokeswoman Wendy Luckenbill said the company will continue to work with the neighbors ensure "reasonable" access for neighbors over portions of the land.
The trails were established in 1989 after negotiations between Goodman and the U.S. Forest Service, which owned the land at the time.
Winfrey plans to build a mansion and guest home on the property starting this summer. Plans for the homes haven't been submitted yet but the project will require building a bridge over a ski run and cutting down an estimated 800 to 1,000 trees to comply with the town's wildfire mitigation policies.

Q: How do I get debris or algae off of my water garden's rocks, streams and waterfalls? – Several Customers
A: As the Summer progresses, the weather gets hotter and algae begins to grow on your streams, waterfalls and rocks. Sometimes using AlgaeFix® just isn't enough to remove the algae from the rocks. It will kill the algae, but the algae stays stuck to the rocks. It seems sometimes you need a steel wool brush to scrub the algae off.
My suggestion, when you have debris of algae on rocks, is to use a product called Oxy-Lift™. Oxy-Lift™ is designed to lift these debris off of rocks for easy removal.
Simply turn your pump off and sprinkle the affected areas with Oxy-Lift™. Wait 10 minutes and turn your pump back on. You may need a hose to spray away the additional debris, but no more scrubbing! If you have a skimmer installed in your pond, it will catch the debris as they are washed in by the waterfall. Or you can skim it yourself with a skimmer net.

The richest people in the world look for networks, and everyone else looks for work—or so it's been said. Networking can help you find a job, a leadership position, an on-campus research opportunity, and more. But what is networking? The concept seems both obvious and abstract. And how should you do it?
What is networking?
Networking is interacting with others to exchange information and contacts. The most successful networkers build genuine relationships and give more than they receive.
Be warned: People can sense desperation a mile away. If you enter a situation with only one goal in mind (making a connection you can later use to your advantage), people will know.
Networking tips
- Network before you need a network. Set the groundwork early with professors, supervisors (in jobs and internships), and other professionals on campus.
- Don't focus on your personal agenda.
- Treat everyone respectfully. If you think someone is "just" a clerk or assistant, you risk getting a reputation for acting entitled.
- Make two meaningful connections each semester. If you do that, you'll have a bunch of contacts by the time you graduate.
- Keep in touch! Be sure to keep in touch with your network: Ask what's new with them and share your updates. Your contacts will remember you and can help make connections if something comes up.
- Start building your profile on LinkedIn, and develop it through your student career by adding projects and relevant experiences.

List of permitted Health Claims for use on Food - guide07 December 2011
by eub2 -- last modified 07 December 2011
In a meeting of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health, EU Member States supported the European Commission's draft Regulation to adopt a list of permitted health claims for use on food.
Why has the EU tackled the issue of "health claims" on products?
Consumers are looking for added value when purchasing food. They attach great importance to health and are more aware of its relationship with their diet and the food they eat. Health claims can therefore be an important source of information, and became a vital marketing tool. Concern that health claims could be less than informative or misleading, by accident or by design has given voice to calls for tighter controls.
A 2006 Regulation on nutrition and health claims made on foods makes these controls possible. This so-called claims Regulation ensures a high level of protection for consumers. It facilitates the choice of products for a varied and balanced diet which is a prerequisite for good health. Claims must not mislead consumers; they must be, accurate, truthful, understandable and substantiated by science. Implementation of this Regulation requires the adoption of a list of permitted health claims, based on an assessment by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) of the science substantiating the claimed effect, and compliance with the other general and specific requirements of the Regulation. Member States' endorsement of the list of permitted health claims on 5 December marks a significant step in implementing the claims Regulation.
Why has the implementation taken from mid-2006 until late 2011?
44,000 health claims had been submitted from Member States. It required a consolidation of this large number of claims to over 4,600 entries in a list for assessment by EFSA and consideration by the Commission and Member States as risk managers.
The list has 222 health claims – what happened to the other more than 4,000 claims from the consolidated list?
The health claims now included on the permitted list are representative of some 500 entries from the consolidated list for which the process of authorisation required is completed. The process of authorisation is also completed for another 2000 entries from the consolidated list. The remainder of the claims (some 2000) are still awaiting completion of the authorisation process.
What is the status of the claims not in the permitted list?
For these claims we have two different procedures:
First, claims on hold will continue being used under the conditions pertaining before adoption of the list of permitted health claims. This means they may continue to be used on the market under the responsibility of the food business operator provided they comply with the claims Regulation and existing national provisions applicable to them.
Second, claims not included in the permitted list but for which the authorisation process is completed will be inserted into the "Union Register" of nutrition and health claims making it clear why they are not authorised. Six months after the entry into force of the list of permitted claims, they will be considered as non-compliant with the claims Regulation and subject to the prohibition laid down in that Regulation. The rules will be directly applicable to all food business operators in the EU and it will be the responsibility of the national authorities to enforce them.
Where can I find clear information on the status of all the claims?
Once the measure adopting the list of permitted health claims has passed the scrutiny of the European Parliament and the Council, and is officially adopted, it will be published in the Official Journal. At the same time the Union Register will be updated with all the claims for which the authorisation process is completed – both the list of permitted health claims and those not authorised. The Union Register is available on the website of DG Health and Consumers where once the list is published you will also be able to find the status of all the claims originally submitted to the process.
How are permitted health claims to be used?
Anyone will be able to use permitted health claims on the list, provided the conditions of use are met. Conditions of use make sure that the claimed effect is achieved.
Must claims on the list be used exactly as written – even if the language used is very scientific?
The permitted health claims may be required to be expressed differently due to linguistic or cultural differences. For this reason the measure adopting the list of permitted health claims allows food business operators some flexibility, provided that those adjusted claims have the same meaning for consumers as that of a permitted health claim on the list. The key here is that claims should not be presented such that they become misleading.
Are all claims that are not included in the list of permitted claims being rejected because they are not true?
This is not necessarily the case. A scientific assessment was the first requirement, followed by a test of compliance with the other requirements in the claims Regulation. In its assessments EFSA looked at three consecutive elements:
- whether the subject of the claimed effect (food, substance) can be defined sufficiently for a scientific assessment
- whether the claimed effect is indeed beneficial for health
- whether the studies considered as pertinent by EFSA could allow establishing of a cause and effect relationship between the food and the claimed effect
An unfavourable EFSA opinion could be linked to any of these elements. Some claims with a positive EFSA assessment were judged not to meet the other requirements of the claims Regulation. Claims that are not authorised will be entered in the Union Register with reasons for rejection.
What claims does the list not represent, what's on hold?
In September 2010 the Commission decided that it was not possible to continue with the assessment of health claims for plant and herbal substances, the so-called "botanical" substances. EFSA was asked to discontinue its assessment on claims for botanicals and these, together with a number on botanicals already assessed, have been put on hold. Also consideration of some claims for micro-organisms was suspended. EFSA concluded that they were insufficiently characterised. Silimilarly for claims for which the evidence was insufficient for EFSA to reach a conclusion about the cause and effect relationship were put on hold. These claims are therefore also on hold pending a reassessment of the additional data where this has been submitted.
What is the status of the claims on botanical ingredients?
Certain herbal substances can be present in the composition of both Traditional Herbal Medicinal Products (THMPs) and in foods. It is therefore possible that, for the same substance, the therapeutic indication given by manufacturers of THMPs is similar (with the due distinctions, as medicinal claims are forbidden on foods) to a health claim made by food manufacturers.
Differences in legal requirements between health claims and THMPs could lead to a different treatment of the same substance, according to whether it is present in a food or in a medicine. This would create discriminations on the market of herbal products and potential confusion for consumers. Since the Commission and Member States need more time to decide how to address this issue, it was decided to put these claims on hold.
What will the Commission do on botanicals?
A reflection exercise is under way aimed at achieving a consistent and coherent treatment of botanicals in the future.

H-ECOPUR is a hydrolysis-resistant thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer (TPU). It combines the engineering properties of ECOPUR with a high resistance to hydrolysis which is otherwise rarely found in polyurethanes. It is stable in water up to +90°C and has an outstanding stability in mineral oil. Because of its resistance to hydrolysis H-ECOPUR can be used for water hydraulic and for applications in mining, tunnelling and presses. H-ECOPUR is particularly recommended for the use in pure and seawater, for HFA and HFB fluids and biologically degradable hydraulic fluids (vegetable oils and synthetic esters) and food articles. H-ECOPUR is KTW approved and meets the FDA standards.

It's hard for me to believe that another year has slipped away! The holiday season has begun and the days will seem to pass even more quickly now.
Time to take a moment for our monthly check-in: How's your MS today?
We open this posting each month for ruminations and thoughts on the subject of each person's personal journey with multiple sclerosis. Reading back through your comments this past year, I see that much has been going on in our bodies for many of us.
As for my MS, I've "recovered" from the MS thing that was plaguing me last month. I put the word in quotation marks because I'm not back to the old baseline, but I seem to have stopped the slide. So, that's good; right?
The next two weeks are going to be very busy as we prepare for our trip to Ireland. I've scheduled plenty of time to get things done, just in case our old friend comes a calling again.
I look forward to reading your comments to the "How's your MS today" post every month! This month, I'm also looking forward to reading your submissions to our Holiday Blog Contest. Remember to get those entries in before the end of business on the 14th!!!
This post is all about you so…how's your MS today?
Wishing you and your family the best of health.

Kelly Osbourne Gossip
Kelly Osbourne gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Girl Sh-t over fat
Girls, girls....girls. As I always say, Girl Sh-t is the best sh-t. And the best Girl Sh-t usually happens over boys or our bodies, sometimes both at the same time. Look at LeAnn Rimes's thinnification - is it an accident that her predecessor has the same rail thin frame? This is a study I would pay attention to - what's more upsetting: another girl flirting with your fiancé or finding out your fiancé, who loves you and would never, ever leave you, thinks you might need to lose weight? I wish I could give you the All Fem fists pump here but that would be a lie. Full Story
Skinny doesn't cure stupid
Kelly Osbourne has spent the last several months telling us how much happier she is now that she's skinny. Well now there's a great message. Unfortunately, thinness in this case, and in most cases, doesn't necessarily lead to enlightenment. And slender Kelly seems to be as stupid as not-slender Kelly, especially as it relates to matters of the heart. Full Story
Emmy Breakup Thinnification
Kelly Osbourne ditched her boyfriend Luke Worrell about six weeks after she supposedly caught him cheating. She arrived at the Emmys with a very small waist in a very tight dress – looked lovely, sure, but that's a lot of littleness that seems to have happened over a short period of time. Full Story
Soho House/Grey Goose Part 2
If you missed the first part, please scroll down. Seems like Kelly Osbourne is Dave LaChapelle's new muse. Well...she's skinny now, right? Kelly had her hair done Marilyn Monroe styles, in a bedazzled silver teacup dress, like Balenciaga 2 yrs ago. Kelly is thin, small, and shy. Didn't seem entirely comfortable, almost as though she was asking herself how she got here. Full Story
Soho House/Grey Goose Part 1
There's a lot to say. And I'm shooting at the Kodak right now so blogging on my blackberry. Don't want you to wait so long for me to write so am splitting last night's observations into several posts. Photos will come later when the agency sends to me. For now we're using file shots. Full Story
Rehab at Bardot
Last night in LA at a club called Bardot – Lindsay Lohan, with Samantha Ronson, Kelly Osbourne, and Kirsten Dunst, all present and accounted for, all with their own rehab history, at the same places too! Lilo and Kelly both chose Promises. Lilo and Kiki both chose the Cirque Lodge. Lilo's like the Kevin Bacon of treatment facilities, non? And she has spent the better part of 7 months, since the Cannes film festival, attending party after party, hitting up lounge after lounge, like this will help with her completely stalled film career. Full Story
Marriage is easy
It must be, right? Only way to explain why so many of them are marrying. And SO young too. Dating, you see, is apparently dead.Hello, I love you, let's get married… This is the modern relationship. Next in line for engagement, marriage, then divorce is Kelly Osbourne. She's been dating a model called Luke Worrall for 6 months and photographed with an engagement ring on her finger. Full Story
Sienna at Coachella
Last year it was red frames and the white frames too… is turquoise the colour of this year's must have Ray-Bans? Check them out on Sienna Miller who looked amazing at Coachella. The outfit is adorable. Sienna spent part of the afternoon with Kelly Osbourne. Word is the two of them spent a lot of time giggling about avoiding "the plague" Paris Hilton. Full Story
Skinny Curvy Kelly
Kelly Osbourne at the Brit Awards last night looking super svelte and not just from Spanx! What saves her thinnification from becoming alarming though is that while she's skinny now, she's also still curvy. Love skinny curvy. Skinny curvy is so sexy. Photos from Wenn.com Full Story

Scientists at the British Geological Survey (BGS) have found evidence in the UK of large ash particles from the Eyjafjallajökull volcanic eruption in April 2010. This discovery will help refine the modelling of ash plume dispersal for future eruptions — see Eyjafjallajökull press release.
Most of the very small ash particles in volcanic plumes fall as clusters of particles known as 'aggregates'. The particles may stick together due to a number of mechanisms including electrostatic attraction, particle collisions, condensation of liquid films and secondary mineralisation.
The process of aggregation effectively removes very small particles from the plume and is therefore one control on how long ash particles stay in the atmosphere.
'The characteristics of the ash, such as particle size and shape, can tell us about processes taking place in the ash plume. We can learn how the aggregation process evolves by comparing aggregates that fell near to the volcano with those that fell from the plume 12 hours later in the UK.'
The BGS is working with university partners in Lancaster, Edinburgh and Iceland, and the UK and Icelandic Meteorological Offices, to better understand aggregation processes to support continued improvements in ash plume dispersal models.
The work will feed into further international collaborative science initiatives on eruption dynamics and the observation and modelling of volcanic ash plumes.
In collaboration with the Icelandic Meteorological Office (IMO), we are installing new seismic monitoring stations in areas of highest volcanic risk. These instruments will detect small earthquakes caused by magma forcing its way to the Earth's surface and once an eruption has started can warn us of escalating activity.
The seismic recordings, combined with data from other monitoring networks run by the IMO, such as GPS measurements of ground deformation, will give Iceland and the UK an effective early warning system for future volcanic eruptions.
During the recent Icelandic eruption, the BGS worked with schools across Wales, the English Midlands and Scotland to collect ash fall samples in rain gauges and on sticky tape. Collaboration with the UK Met Office was key for predicting where the ash was and therefore where ash may fall.
Knowing the extent of ash fall and total mass/ volume of ash is essential for accurate assessment of the main eruption parameters. The samples on sticky tape retain the structure of the ash particles. Some particles are single grains but others are aggregates that would otherwise have broken up on impact.
Preliminary analysis of the samples shows that single grains of ash are formed of both glass and crystal fragments. These range in size from less than 1 µm (a micron is one thousandth of a millimetre) up to 60 µm.
The particle aggregates have an average size of 85 µm and the largest are up to 200 µm in diameter, twice the thickness of human hair.

Very recently, the desktop application project I'm working on in Berlin Update 2 has become extremely sluggish in performance while running inside the IDE. I have done a chkdsk and run a windows integrity check, cold booted, rebuilt from scratch, etc., but it hasn't improved any.
And I have been unable to determine that, and have no reason to believe that, any of my recent and very minor changes to the code have anything to do with it, and the application seems to perform fine outside of the IDE.
Has anyone experienced anything like this? Could this be corruption of the Berlin installation? It's quite time-consuming and a hassle to reinstall everything from scratch, so I don't want to just do it without a bit of guidance from you guys.
Or is there some other possibility? And/or are there any tools that could help track this down? -- hopefully free or nearly so as I have already just about maxed myself out investment-wise on this project.
Thanks for any info and opinions.

The Apple Remote Access family now includes several products that make it possible for users to select precisely what they need. These include a personal all-in-one package that replaces the original ARA 1.0 package, multi-port server packages, multi-user client packages, and upgrades for owners of ARA 1.0.
The Remote Access Personal Server, retail $249, includes both client and server software, licensed for a single user to use at "both ends." This is similar to the ARA 1.0 package, which included both client and server functions in the package.
The Remote Access MultiPort Server package, retail $1,799, includes the server software and client software for four users, and a multiport serial NuBus card and cable. The Remote Access MultiPort Server 4-Port Expansion Kit, for $1,499, leaves out the server software, but provides the multiport serial card, four clients, and cable.
The Remote Access Client 10-pack retails for $599, and adds a ten-user license to your existing ARA server.
Owners of ARA 1.0 can upgrade to the ARA Personal Server for $79. Owners of ARA 1.0 who just need the new client software can upgrade for $29. Proof of purchase is required.
Trilobyte's ARACommander client software, which requires ARA, fully supports ARA 2.0's new features, and also adds quite a bit of its own functionality, in ease-of-use and security areas. It costs $35 for a single-user copy, but only $675 for a 100-user license (there are various stages in between as well). In my opinion this software is well worth the extra investment.
Shiva and Cayman both have hardware servers that don't require a Macintosh to act as the ARA server, and I believe both have upgraded or are about to upgrade their products to support ARA 2.0. Global Village is about to introduce a hardware server that has slots allowing installation of its PowerBook internal modems, which will take up much less space than the hardware servers that use external modems.
Cayman Systems -- 800/473-4776 -- 617/494-1999
Shiva Corporation -- 800/458-3550 -- 617/252-6300

All Emirates tickets are issued as etickets.
An eticket (or electronic ticket) is a ticketing option that eliminates the need for a physical ticket. Instead, your booking details are stored securely in our computer. When it's time to travel, simply present your receipt and passport when checking in at the airport.
If booking online in most countries, there's no need to visit a local office to receive your ticket or wait to have it delivered - simply print your receipt during the online booking process.
If booking directly at an Emirates office, you will be issued a receipt on the spot.
When booking, every person travelling will get their own individual eticket, including children and infants.
Because your booking information is stored with us, there's no ticket to misplace or lose. And your travel details can easily be changed at any time, without having to produce a paper ticket or visiting a ticket office.
Because etickets are stored electronically in our systems, you cannot "lose" your eticket.
If you lose your printed eticket receipt, you have several options:
We recommend you keep a copy of your eticket receipt to hand throughout your journey – some airports require you to present a physical copy of your ticket when requested.
If you are travelling as part of a group, each person should keep a copy of their own eticket receipt.
If you need to request a refund, please fill in the eticket refund form.
Please note that for many bookings, refunds may incur a fee, or may not be allowed, depending on any specific Terms & Conditions attached to the booking.

Disney's princesses don't always have it all. Like the rest of us, they die, and some of them even come back as the undead, completely changed but still bearing a resemblance to their old selves. You can see this clearly in the unique set of dolls by Wow Wee. They've created zombified versions of Belle, Ariel, Cinderella, Aurora, Rapunzel, and Snow White that still look cute despite their ghastly appearance and tattered clothing.
Each Zombie Princess doll is priced at $33. Hit the break to check it out the rest of the dolls in the series.

Farmers, especially sole proprietors, often set up operations under the wrong tax entity and as a result wind up paying too much self-employment tax.
Paul Neiffer, a farm CPA with Clifton Larson Allen, recommends that farmers establish operations under two tax entities. One owns the equipment and farm inventory. The other holds the land.
"Never use a corporation to own land," says Paul Neiffer. "If you pull out the land, you trigger a gain based on fair market value."
Farmers are better off holding farm land under a limited liability partnership (LLP), a limited liability corporation (LLC) or a limited partnership (LP), depending on state law. Land can usually be transferred tax free into and out of these entities. They also allow for easy transfer of ownership to the next generation and discounts in gift value.
"I'm fairly comfortable that you can really reduce your self-employment tax, eliminate net investment income tax and get maximum flexibility. Plus, when you pass away, you get a step up in basis on all the property (based on your ownership). It's not a bad way to go."
Neiffer worked with one farmer who held his land in a Subchapter S Corporation, thinking he was avoiding a layer of tax. That much is true. But the farmer is also paying a tax accountant a couple thousand dollars each year to complete 1120 S forms so that he can rent the land back.
The bigger problem, though, comes when the farmer wants to pull the land out of the Subchapter S Corporation and use the money for retirement. Say the farmer inherited the land, which is now worth $5 million. He asks Neiffer about the tax consequences.
"I look at him and say, 'Are you ready to write a check for $2 million? Because that's what you've done. You've generated a capital gain of $5 million,'" says Neiffer. And that's just the federal tax bill: the farmer also owes state taxes.
The hit may be even bigger if the land is held a Subchapter C Corporation in a high-tax state such as California or Iowa. "Very easily 60% or more of your value could wind up going for taxes," says Neiffer. "That's why we don't like having land in corporations."
The strategy of having separate ownership structures usually allows Neiffer to reduce the tax liability of a Schedule F farmer. All the farmer's income under this tax scenario is subject to self-employment tax. "If we treat these entities properly, we can reduce that self-employment tax down to a "very manageable number."
Consider a farmer who pays self-employment tax on $500,000 of income. That translates into $30,000 or $40,000 of self-employment tax. "If structured properly, we can get that number down closer to $10,000," he says.

When Jules Vernes travelled through the southern fringes of the taiga and arrived in Irkutsk he found there a "giant storehouse of goods of all kinds that are traded in China, Central Asia and Europe". His words are true – in Irkutsk, a city which politically lies within Asia but is culturally much more influenced by Europe, you come to realise what the word "Eurasian" means. As a Russian colonial settlement the city is an outpost of Europe within Asia.
Architecturally this is documented by those picturesque, elaborately decorated wooden houses from the nineteenth century which survived the great fire of 1879. Originally these two-storey buildings were proud urban villas, but today these crumbling dwellings are home mainly to the poor. Here are some impressions of Irkutsk, the "pearl of Siberia".
