Counterfeit Cosmetics, Fragrances Hazardous to Your Health
January 7, 2014
5008 views

SOURCE: Federal Bureau of Investigation
You see what appears to be your favorite brand name eye shadow, eye liner, or fragrance for sale at a flea market or on an unfamiliar website. You notice the price is lower than what you normally pay at your favorite retail store or through an authorized online dealer.
Before you hand over your hard-earned money, though, keep this in mind: It could be counterfeit, and--in addition to buying something that's not the real deal--you are also risking your health by buying and using products that may contain substandard or even dangerous substances.
The National Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) Center--of which the FBI is a partner--wants you to know that the volume of all sorts of counterfeit cosmetics and fragrances coming into the U.S. is definitely on the rise...that's according to our industry partners as well as law enforcement. Why is this happening? Because the Internet has given counterfeiters widespread access to customers, and because criminals increasingly view dealing in counterfeit personal care products--as well as other knock-off consumer goods as well--as a relatively low-risk crime since many of the perpetrators are located outside of the U.S.
Government and industry studies and testing have discovered that some of the ingredients that make up counterfeit cosmetics and fragrances are downright dangerous:
Phony cosmetics often contain things such as arsenic, beryllium, and cadmium (all known carcinogens) along with high levels of aluminum and dangerous levels of bacteria. Some of these products have caused conditions like acne, psoriasis, rashes, and eye infections.
Counterfeit fragrances have been found to contain something called DEHP, classified by the Environmental Protection Agency as a probable human carcinogen. These phony perfumes and colognes, which sometimes contain urine as well, have been known to cause serious skin rashes.
Indicators of Counterfeits
- The packaging differs slightly from the authentic brand (might be a different color or different lettering on the product), and/or the product's wrapping appears haphazard.
- The product is being advertised as a "limited edition" even though the authentic manufacturer doesn't offer it as a limited edition.
- The price is either slightly or drastically lower.
- For cosmetics, the product's consistency or texture just doesn't feel or look like the authentic brand.
- For fragrances, there's something a little off about the scent, and the color of the fluid in the bottle might be different than the original.
- For both products, they're being sold at non-authorized retailers, including flea markets, mall kiosks, and over the Internet.
There is no typical profile of the individuals or groups trafficking in these kinds of counterfeit products...and this might just be one of their many illegal activities--often times, the illicit proceeds are used to fund other types of crime. We've also seen people selling counterfeit products through online auction sites and other websites just to make a little extra cash...some may not even realize their merchandise is fake.
Because of the dangers to the public, law enforcement is mobilizing against counterfeit cosmetics and fragrances. For example, the nearly two dozen U.S. and foreign agencies that make up the National IPR Center are working on the matter--sharing intelligence with one another, coordinating with state and local law enforcement, and developing relationships with industry representatives.
But we need the public's help.
First, educate yourself about some of the common indicators of counterfeit cosmetics and fragrances so that you don't become a victim (see sidebar). If you're not sure about the authenticity of a product, don't buy it.
And second, if you think you or someone you know may have purchased counterfeit cosmetics or fragrances...or if you suspect someone of selling counterfeit items...submit a tip to the National IPR Center. The more information law enforcement has, the more effective we can be. With the proliferation of counterfeit goods increasing at an alarming rate, the National IPR Center focuses on keeping these bogus and often unsafe products off U.S. streets...while dismantling the criminal organizations behind this activity.

Researching how the Nike+ Fuelband works first hand. Almost to my first day's Fuel Points goal of 2,000!
Nike - Find Your Greatness Campaign
All my life I wanted to be blogger. Well until I realized that blogging wasn't really my thing. Twitter is one thing, but who wants to read my thoughts in long, drawn out paragraphs? My point is: I'll try to keep this brief (for your sake and mine).
Five things I learned at my internship:
Photoshop. I rarely used Photoshop before this summer. Needless to say, I learned a lot about the program. I'm a seasoned professional with the wand and magic select tools, the skew and perspective transformations, and making short animations.
Pitch the most outrageous idea you can think of and worry about how you'll actually make it work later. True story. Local Projects is always producing work that has never been done before; and this summer I learned how they make it possible. They literally just do it and worry about the rest later.
Not all design studios are fun. When I became a design major, I was excited to graduate and get to the working world because I assumed that all graphic design studios had ping-pong tables, colorful chairs, and slides. I assumed that all graphic design firms are fun. I learned that this is not true. Local Projects created awesome work but, to me, the office was creatively stagnant.
"I think it's very healthy to spend time alone. You need to know how to be alone and not be defined by another person." –Oscar Wilde I spent a lot of time alone this summer. Sure I had Joseph, and various new Arizona friends; but I still chose to live my days by my schedule and by what I wanted to do. It was liberating. I wasn't tied to anyone else and everything I did ensured I was in control of my own happiness.
Running can be fun. I ran almost every evening along the Hudson River. It was gorgeous and I've never smiled while running before. I lost 5 pounds and good riddance!
A skill you learned this summer that might be helpful for others to know:
Command + K in Adobe Illustrator allows you to change the increment that objects move when you use the arrow keys on your keyboard. This is useful when designing web and mobile pieces that need to be pixel perfect.
What I learned by tracking energy:
The weekend we tracked energy, I was at camp in Payson, Arizona without my computer and cell service. Therefore, I don't think I learned as much as I could have from this project about my normal energy consumption habits.
However, I took the opportunity to track the calories I consumed because that is energy for my body. I also kept track of how many calories I burned. I ate so much junk food while at camp, I think it was a good demonstration of how I would normally eat during finals when I'm strapped for time.
This was eye opening for me because on my calorie tracking website my preset goal was 2000 calories. In one meal I ended up eating 1500 calories! Then when I tallied up how many of my total calories I burned, it only equated to something like 15%! Now I really make sure to get to the gym every day.
What I learned from the NASA exercise:
I'm going to go out on a limb here and comment on the bundled studio dynamic. I feel as though the professors have difficulty understanding why there is such a stigma with bundles. And I'll go ahead and cite the NASA activity and the Bundle kickoff as examples of why.
Bundle activities need to be fun, engaging, and beneficial to all participants (especially the students). Herding us into lecture halls and talking at us for 2 hours does not achieve this goal.
I am one to complain, but I'm not one to complain and not provide suggested solutions. I'd like to challenge the faculty to turn the idea of bundles over to the students. Let the students decide what working in collaboration means to them. The last thing I learned this summer is that the older generation thinks they know what the millennial generation wants. And what they think they know we want, is almost always wrong.

Role? Who defines that?, I need to get organized.
This conversation is closed.
Does "Liberty" mean the pursuit of one's self interest?
Explanation: Liberty in economic terms. By seeking one's own gain, they make gains for everybody. The economy is a mechanism for transforming private gain into public benefit. Each person is a cog in this machine.
Or are all social systems built on the proper understanding of the human person...This person I the source and end of all social and economic value. Which is it? or do you think it is something else?

Dec 25 2013: Your attempt at sarcasm is embarrassing. The point to be understood is that what you call a gain (smartphones) is not a gain (obesity), depending on how things are being assessed. In light of obesity, lute playing, fencing, horse riding, and football would all be gains. If smartphones are preventing children from doing these things, as you suggest, then smartphones are a national disaster. Likewise, liberty is not necessarily the pursuit of self interest (eg: obesity)
Dec 26 2013: Hey Frank obesity is actually a gain .-) resulting from a pursuit of self indulgence into goods one likes to eat!
On a more serious note, I agree with you that what some call a gain may not be considered a gain and in fact be a determent to what one ought to seek and cultivate. I would also like to point out that the stuff isn't preventing children from choosing to do certain stuff... it is children who choose to spend their time on this stuff rather than that stuff which 'prevents' children from that stuff while glued to this stuff! In other words the possibility isn't what makes it a reality it is choosing the possibility that makes it into a reality... we better choose what to consume and allow into our existence!
Dec 26 2013: it was not an attempt, it was a glaring success at sarcasm. my next attempt is at mockery: obesity is gain, in the most literal sense.
just to restore the balance of values, try to go to rural india, and warn people about this "danger" of using smartphones. then RUN!
obesity is best combated by knowledge about nutrition and healthy lifestyle. this knowledge is best distributed on smartphones.
Borna NovakDec 27 2013: My local bar has a sign "NO WIFI, get drunk and talk with your friends",
smartphones, as enabling as they are, are also a generator of estrangement and a constant work-related or social network stream of pings which disables your ability to introspect, constant mail/forum/facebook/etc checking is supposed to generate a short term memory impairment similar to smoking marijuana, using a GPS physically shrinks your hypothalamus, blue-ish glow of the screen sends "its daytime" signals into your brain and impair your sleep cycles, etc
you could say smartphones themselves might be a zero sum game because we lost a couple of things along the way when we accepted the good stuff they brought (though I wouldn't blame obesity on them, this part has more to do what you eat then how much facebook you do in a day)
Dec 27 2013: Clearly we are Kriszt :)
doomed into being monitored, semi-retarded and believing in goblins and gods and whatnot as long as there's no social responsibility for application of commercial innovation.
I'm certain there's a way to market smartphones as utility devices, something that can help you find your way when lost, something with which you can check your mail or do an internet search in pinch etc,
thing is, its just not done this way. It's Big Data meets 1984 + other (intended and unintended) consequences
Dec 23 2013: Amily,
private gain and public benefit can be zero-sum games, just as they each and together can be win-win games and other possibilities. As you said 'its possible that pursuing private gain also contributes to the public benefits', of course its also possible that pursuing public benefit also contributes to the private gain and other possibilities... Its even possible for the pursuit of one's self interests to involve the pursuit of other's self interests as the two merge into a singular pursuit of interests... Do note that here 'one's' and 'other's' may refer to:
- the individual and the collective
- the collective and the individual
- the individual and the individual
- the collective and the collective...
To frame it a bit differently "when God's will is for one to be happy and one will is to for one to be happy then is seeking to be happy doing: A) one's will B) God's will C) one's will AND God's will D) one's will OR God's will E) all of them.
It's actually possible for the pursuit of one's self interests to involve the pursuit of other's self interests as the two merge into a singular pursuit of interests... beneficial to each and all...
Dec 24 2013: Let me put it this way. We should, and have already done the rule of private activity for the individual gain does not seriously or disproportionally violate the public safety or environmental damage, then it should be permitted, otherwise it should be illegal or criminalized if it is knowingly carried out. I don't think that every kind of individual activity and public interest is strictly a zero sum game. Also, even when some charity or political gesture-work by certain individuals is just to buy votes to achieve certain political gains are not a zero sum game either.
In summary, the relationship of personal and public gain or loss is rarely exactly equal, or not even approximately equal at all.
Dec 24 2013: Well if we consider individual gains as part of common gains then the more the individual gains the more the common gains there be... think of it this way when an individual in the group changes the group also changes because the individual is part of the group! The other way isn't necessarily so... that is when the group changes that does not mean that every individual changed it just means that the group changed...
Dec 25 2013: Not sure I follow. If we assume there's a finite amount of whatever resource in circulation--dollars, gold, beads, etc.--and there are limits on this resource--no more dollars printed, no more gold extracted, no more material for beads, etc.--how does an individual's gain improve the group's position, since it is they from whence the gain came? It's akin to a game of poker, where each player begins with the same number of chips, but by the end of the night, all but one goes away with empty pockets.
Dec 25 2013: Positivists,
Under the particular case you put forth there be no overall gains to the group from one individual gainings stuff while another loses it! There would only be redistribution of what's on the table. Now lets say that each player gets to put into the game ALL the assets they have. Lets also assume that as they are playing the game one player gets a notification that they just gotten awarded an additional asset (or has lost it). Under this particular case put forth the overall value of the group has increased (decreased) in relation to the individual's changes.
Notice that the underling premises of scarce finite resources you put forth differs a great deal from interactions where value is actually produced with the shared interactions. In other words there is a great difference between the sum of the parts and the emergent properties can be more than the sum of the parts. Kind of like the difference between a group of individuals working side by side and/or a team of individuals working side by side while also collaborating with each other to do quite a bit more together...
For a while I have been thinking that the scarce resource economic model needs a complete overhaul especially when considering that abundant resources are made scarce in order to maintain working the present scarce resource economic model... Consider that when I share an idea with you there now exists two instances of such idea... thats quite different than what happens when I share 'the beads' with you... there continue to exists a set fixed number of 'beads' (until one creates/finds more beads). Though at some level we still need to share 'scarce' resources to subsist, presently sharing ideas to thrive continues to be seen as a scarce resource to be controlled and restricted to and by TPTB...
Dec 26 2013: I agree with you, Esteban.
Let me also put up more examples. When we used electric bulbs using tungsten, in the filament, a relatively rare material, then the resource competition would cause some slight market disturbance. But now we have fluorescent bulbs, or even light emitting diodes (LED), so the latter are much cheaper and made of abundant materials with much longer life span. It means that we have CREATED MORE "RESOURCES" IN QUANTITY AND VALUE.
As a matter of fact, The United States of America, during the past couple hundred of years, has become an economic superpower not merely based on its natural resources, but, most importantly, by the human innovation and improvement in the management skills and the industrial productivity by its citizens. This is exactly the point we are discussing here. Unlike the colonialism of European countries during the 18-19th centuries, the U. S. never engaged in grabbing any natural resources or territories to get the so-called gain at the expense of other countries.
Dec 26 2013: Bart,
Indeed, though actually if we look closely we will discover how they did engage in grabbing the natural resources and territories to get the so-allend gain at the expense of others... though that's another story.
It's also curious to note that fluorescent bulbs, or even light emitting diodes (LED), are so much more expensive than the previous ones... They may use less energy but they cost more... and overall I am not sure how the balance ends up. Also I am not sure what would happen if we take into account the whole costs... which happen to be more efficient overall. I once read that the clean solar cells electricity happened to be more detrimental to the environment because of their 'dirty production'. Yea once you have the cell it doesn't contaminate but to have it made it does contaminate.
One example of CREATING MORE "RESOURCES" IN QUANTITY AND VALUE. could be using plants to filter the air and grow clean air within buildings. We could add to that fish cultivation and a couple of other things to create a self-sustainable ecosystem that enables more life within a given space. I read that the amazon forests land isn't fertile... that the abundance of life there stems from the delicate balance resulting from the flora and fauna interplays... some plants even have multiple roots systems ... some of them in their branches ... the roots in the ground basically exists only as anchoring foundations ... the nutrients and water is absorbed through the branches root system... Whats even more amazing is that the rains result thanks to the plants being there! Something to do with the evaporation of water from the leaves and other characteristics. I read that In cities the hot roads keep the water vapor from condensing and raining !
You are right on the spot when you state that one of the key points to flourish centers on doing more with less... you mentioned it as "innovation and improvement in the management skills and the industrial productivity".
Dec 27 2013: Esteban, Let me just give you a brief explanation of the 2 questions you raised:
1. I was comparing the total costs of either CFL or LED bulbs in the sense of what will cost you the amount of money for the same light intensity (lumens) in the consumption of the amount of electricity AND the effective life span of each bulb. Then the CFL or the LED would cost MUCH LESS than the tungsten bulbs.
2. The U. S. A. was established not from the hands of the American Indians, or even the Conquistadores in Mexico,. It was from the hands of the English mostly. The Alaska and Louisiana territories were purchased from Russia and France respectively. The inclusion of the State of Texas was a little murky, but all of these happened before the petroleum resources became well known. Furthermore all of these occurred before the invention of light bulbs and discovery of petroleum fuels.
The most important point in my previous discussion is that during and after the period of the industrial revolution, say from 1800 to 2000, the U. S. joined several small military conflicts and the major wars, it didn't get any major resources or territories, like the Russian and French "victors" did.
Dec 27 2013: Bart,
The main point I seek to point out involves how the stories we tell influence the realities we consider... regardless of the actual concordance with the actual facts... A secondary point revolves about what to do now with the situations...how do we intertwine individual and social existences to enrich each other and mutually complement each while also catalyzing the good stuff like 'liberty' and mitigating the bad stuff like 'exploitation' ...
I see we are basically looking at the same data while deducing different conclusions... As you sort of pointed out... there exists some murky stuff ... that murky stuff could change the determinations we chose to make based on how we choose to interpret it. Besides some of the data we hold may even be quite distorted. For example I recently bought a LED lamp that lasted only a few weeks just as I have bought regular light bulbs that lasted only a short time rather than last the expected life span stated in the box... That's why I mentioned that overall I am not sure how the bulbs cost compare in the end...
Focusing on what you referred as the most important point in your previous discussion from what I know there where major resources gained from the military conflicts; though I will concede that these where unlike what other 'victors' got.
Please note that I tend to make comments that seek to question and open up the considerations... this can be perceived as disagreeable rather that as it is actually intended. Hopefully you will perceive the later rather than the former. As you sort of mentioned we in essence actually agree and both seek to CREATE MORE "RESOURCES" IN QUANTITY AND VALUE. (resources == notions ideas thoughts innovations considerations).

SHAWANO, WI (WTAQ) - Charges have been filed against a Black Creek man who allegedly assaulted a Gillett man outside of a bar last weekend.
According to court documents, 22-year-old Cody Chapin has been charged with second-degree reckless injury in the attack that left 27-year-old Kyle Patzer with multiple skull fractures, blood clots and bleeding on the brain.
"We've had quite a bit of success since the investigation began," Shawano County Sheriff's Department Capt. Tom Tuma told FOX 11. "The public exposure – via social media – and the television media did help in getting some of these folks convinced that it was time to bring an end to some of these activities."
Chapin appeared in court Thursday and is free on a $15,000 signature bond.
According to the criminal complaint, Chapin admits to having drunk too much, lying to police and grabbing Patzer by his chest and shoving him. Court documents say Chapin thought Patzer was hitting on his girlfriend – which she denies.
The incident took place on Warrington Avenue in Cecil around 1 a.m. Saturday. Cops arrived to the scene and found Patzer.
Authorities say some people are still not cooperating with investigators. They continue to interview witnesses and expect more arrests to be made.
(Additional reporting from FOX 11).

A 'sweet' gesture went sour in the Michael Jackson's wrongful death trial. Lawyers for concert promoter AEG Live, gave the bailiff a bag of peppermint candy to hand out to the jury this week. Even Michael Jackson's mother, Katherine Jackson, enjoyed the treat, but Jackson's lawyer raised objection Tuesday in court. He suggested jurors might be influenced if they find out who provided the sweets.
So a compromise was reached. Each side can provide snacks for jurors, but they will be placed at the bailiff's desk ahead of time so jurors have no clue who brought it.
Jackson's mother and three children are suing AEG Live for billions of dollars. They claim the promoter is liable for hiring Conrad Murray as Jackson's doctor. Murray is in prison for manslaughter after giving the singer the drug, Propofol to help him sleep.
AEG claims Murray was chosen and hired by Jackson. The pop star died in 2009, two weeks before his "This Is It" comeback concerts were set to begin.

QUICK TWITT | Ben Askren Offers His Services For UFC Bout Against Carlos Condit
Bellator welterweight champion, Ben Askren, is ready to leave his promotional home for a stint in the UFC.
The often outspoken fighter has taken to twitter and addressed Dana White and the UFC about opponents he wants numerous time.
More recently he asked to be considered as a replacement opponent against GSP and now, he's asking for a bout with Carlos Condit.
Check it:
If Condit doesn't have an opponent I will fight him first. I like the way he fights, but he has no chance to stop what I want to do.
— Ben Askren (@Benaskren) August 29, 2013
@DiegoSanchezUFC @ufc not quite yet. Why is it that you ask?
— Ben Askren (@Benaskren) August 30, 2013
@DiegoSanchezUFC @ufc thanks man and just wishful thinking on my part. Maybe soon.
— Ben Askren (@Benaskren) August 30, 2013

A coronary angioplasty is a procedure to open an artery in the heart that has become narrowed. This allows better blood flow through the artery and to the heart muscle. It is often done with a balloon that is passed through a special catheter (tube).

Atherosclerosis is a disease of the arteries. Cholesterol and fatty deposits build up on the walls of the arteries. This restricts blood flow. When this buildup happens in the heart, it may lead to a
heart attack. Lifestyle changes and medicines can be used to treat atherosclerosis. If they are not enough, an angioplasty may be done.
If you are planning to have an angioplasty, your doctor will review a list of possible complications which may include:
Some factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
Your doctor will likely do the following.
In the days leading up to your procedure:
Local anesthetic will be given. It will numb the area of the groin or arm where the catheter will be inserted. You will also be given sedation and pain medicine through an IV. This will help to keep you comfortable during the procedure.
The area of the groin or arm where the catheter will be inserted will be shaved, cleaned, and numbed. A needle will be inserted into the artery. You will receive blood-thinning medicines during the procedure. A wire will be passed through the needle and into the artery. The wire will be guided through until it reaches the blocked artery in the heart. A soft, flexible catheter tube will then be slipped over the wire and threaded up to the blockage.
The doctor will be taking x-rays during the procedure to know where the wire and catheter are located. Dye will be injected into the arteries of the heart. This will provide a better view of the arteries and blockages.
After the blockage is reached, a small balloon at the tip of the catheter will be rapidly inflated and deflated. This will stretch the artery open. The deflated balloon, catheter, and wire will be removed.
Your doctor may also insert a small mesh tube called a
into the artery where there was a narrowing. A stent acts to keep the artery open by providing support inside it.
After the procedure is done and the blood-thinning medicines have worn off, the catheter will be removed. Pressure will be applied for 20-30 minutes to control bleeding.
A bandage will be placed over the groin or arm.
30 minutes to three hours
The anesthetic should numb the area where the catheter is inserted. You may feel a burning sensation when the anesthesia is given. You may also feel pressure when the catheters are moved. Some people have a flushed feeling or nausea when the dye is injected. You may feel some chest pain during inflation of the balloon.
The usual length of stay is overnight. If the catheter is inserted in your arm or wrist, you may be able to go home the same day. Speak to your doctor to see if this is an option for you.
You will likely need to lie still and flat on your back for a period of time. A pressure dressing may be placed over the area where the catheter was inserted. This will help prevent bleeding. Or, a vascular closure device may be used to seal the site. This will allow earlier movement and hospital discharge. It is important to follow directions.
Sometimes the procedure is not successful or the artery narrows again. You may require repeat angioplasty or
coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
After you leave the hospital, contact your doctor if any of the following occurs:
In case of an emergency, call for medical help right away.

Value trio: North of the border
These 3 Canadian stocks offer value, rapid earnings growth and strong balance sheets.
I screened my Benjamin Graham database to find Canadian companies with rapidly growing earnings and strong balance sheets.
I believe many outstanding buying opportunities exist. Here is a look at three of our picks -- in agriculture, energy and information services. Each offers excellent appreciation potential during the next six to 12 months.
The Canadian economy has performed much better than the U.S. economy during the past three years and better than many foreign economies.
Canada banks were not allowed to sell risky loans or buy unsafe investments. And the nation's housing market remains solid, its economic growth continues to climb, and its debt remains low.
Based in Calgary, Agrium (AGU) is a leading producer, wholesaler and retailer of agricultural nutrients and industrial products in North and South America. Products include nitrogen, phosphate and potash fertilizers; herbicides, insecticides and fungicides; and seeds.
Nitrogen fertilizers account for 37% of Agrium's wholesale business and are enjoying increased profits because of low natural gas prices. Demand is rising for crop protection products in North America, and potash exports to Brazil and China are increasing.
The semi-annual dividend was recently increased to $0.50 from $0.055 a year ago, and now provides a yield of 1.1%. After a slow year ahead, future earnings growth will be erratic but should average 12% to 15% per year. Buy below $100.51 or below. Our minimum sell price target is is $155.38
Based in Calgary, Suncor (SU) is focused on Alberta's vast Athabasca oil sands, with complementary operations in refining and marketing.
Suncor is spending heavily to ramp up its lucrative oil sands production in Canada. Proceeds from seven sales of various assets are being used to expand production and to pay down debt incurred in the 2010 purchase of Petro-Canada.
In addition to oil sands development, Suncor's diversification includes drilling operations in the North Sea, Libya and Syria; refineries in Canada and the U.S.; and 1,500 gas stations throughout Canada.
At just 9.3 times my forward earnings per share (EPS) estimate of $3.17, SU shares are clearly undervalued. The recently increased dividend provides a yield of 1.8%. SU is medium risk. Buy below $38 for a minimum sell price target of $58.63.
Domiciled in Toronto, Thomson Reuters (TRI) is a leading provider of information and technology to professionals and users in the fields of financial services, law, higher education and scientific research. About 90% of 2011 revenues were derived from electronically delivered products over the Internet.
Management's restructuring plan is going well. More efficient operations, cost cuts and new accounting software will bring about accelerating earnings during the next couple of years.
Also, the company has divested its health care information segment, while three recent acquisitions have bolstered its offerings in the rapidly growing governance, risk and compliance fields.
At 13.4 times my forward 12-month EPS estimate of $2.18, Thomson Reuters shares are undervalued. The dividend yields a handsome 4.4% yield. TRI is low risk. Buy below $28.29. Our minimum sell price target is $37.02.

The 2012 annual fundraising campaign for Kearney's Goodwill Industries of Greater Nebraska was a success.
The campaign which ended Dec. 31, exceeded the $20,000 goal by 28 percent. Campaign chairs Donna Grossart and Thelma Simpson reported that $25,726 was raised.
"We are so grateful to the generosity of the
Kearney community and the many area volunteers who made this year's phonathon a
success," states Grossart.
Goodwill Industries of Greater Nebraska's director of development Tom Conlon said the funds raised go to support pre-employment and employment programs, with special emphasis towards Goodwill's developmental disabilities program.
"Donors can
rest assured knowing every penny raised will stay here in Kearney, helping
people with disabilities and other barriers secure the life skills and
employment they need to gain and keep a job."

My Favorite Dish
Satellite television is increasingly popular, but until now I
haven't seen a good method for roof mounting a dish.
The.comDeck is an 18-gauge self-flashing galvanized platform
for mounting small satellite dishes. Available in black, brown,
and weathered wood, the platform is predrilled to accept dishes
from both DirecTV and DISH Network. Now you can offer
satellite-ready spec homes while reducing the possibility of
leaks. I found it on the Web for $55. RSTC Enterprises,
866/367-7782, www.comdeck.com
A wet location.comined with minimal homeowner maintenance can
turn a door frame spongy after only a year or two. If you're
dealing with a damp site and would like to spare your customers
annual scraping and painting, consider using the
maintenance-free Freedom Frame. Made from a.comination
of.comosite plastic and wood, the product is available for 2x4
and 2x6 walls and includes concealed Jamb Jacks for a plumb
installation. The Freedom Frame is available at most door
prehangers and, depending on size, adds between $50 and $100 to
the cost of a pre-hung door, according to the manufacturer.
Fen-Tech, 715/392-9500, www.fentechinc.com
Double-Duty Closet
Lighting a dark closet isn't the easiest task. The National
Electric Code prohibits some types of fixtures, and getting
light exactly where you need it can be a challenge. Here's a
great solution: the Closet Rod Light from Outwater. Available
in brushed nickel and white, in lengths from 24 to 46 inches,
the fluorescent fixture-closet rod includes a T5 bulb, a rocker
switch, and a 9-foot cord. Prices start at $57. Outwater,
800/631-8375, www.outwater.com
Quick Finish.
One of the best ways to save time and money when you're
installing wood windows is to have the interior prefinished at
the factory. Peachtree recently started offering a prefinished
interior on the 500 Series windows and patio doors. While
factory top-coating is generally offered only in white,
Peachtree will apply a single layer of primer if you're
planning a top coat in another color. Prefinishing a Peachtree
500 Series window generally costs between $30 and $40,
depending on the size. Prepriming runs about $18 per unit. I
used prefinished windows in my own home and found that the
labor savings and quality of finish made the option well worth
the cost. Peachtree, 800/732-2499,
Discreet Screen.
Screens generally don't do much for the aesthetics of a home.
Don't believe me? Look at the catalogs and marketing materials
from just about any window manufacturer — they almost
never depict windows with the screens installed. For screens
that barely show, check out the Vivid View screen option
from Pella. Available on Designer and Architect series windows,
Vivid View screens use a special fabric that, the maker says,
"makes them less obtrusive from the outside" and increases
airflow. Vivid View screens for.comon casement and double-hung
sizes have a list price of about $95. Pella, 888/847-3552,
Less Expensive Grille Option.
Simulated divided lights (SDLs) are a great way to dress up
ordinary windows, especially if you're going for a historic
look or replacing units on an older home. Most optional SDL
systems use a spacer bar between the two panes of glass, but
many window manufacturers, including Crestline, offer less
expensive SDLs without the spacer. By opting for Crestline's
Value Divided Lights (instead of the.comany's SDL units with
the spacer bar), you can reduce the unit cost by about 5
percent. That might not sound like much, but it makes a
noticeable difference on a large window order. The only
drawback is that when you get right up close to the window, you
can see the void between the exterior and interior grilles. The
gap is especially obvious on patio doors, because they
typically have a bigger air space than windows do. Crestline
Windows, 800/552-4111,
Snug Fit. Refrigerant lines for residential
air conditioners and heat pumps require a pretty big hole in
the side of the building. You could seal the opening with duct
sealing.comound or caulk, but a big blob of either substance
doesn't look too swift and probably won't maintain a
weathertight seal for long. A better way to seal around
refrigerant lines is with a Thermo-Thimble. This unique product
has a plastic housing that channels water away from the hole
— plus the foam seal looks way better than a gob of
caulk or duct sealing.comound. It's offered in rectangular and
round versions and a.comodates walls up to 12 inches thick. For
price, check with your heating contractor. Thermo
Manufacturing, 888/678-3709, www.thermopan.com
Two Zones Are Better Than One. Zoned heating
systems in residential applications are increasingly popular
because they maximize.comort and save energy. The SlimZone
Classic II is a good example of a relatively simple and
easy-to-install two-zone control panel. It allows the occupants
to adjust the first- and second-floor spaces independently. The
panel works with all Robertshaw dampers and thermostats and
with all single-stage electric, oil, and gas furnaces and
single.comressor electric heat pumps. And you won't need a
separate fossil-fuel kit when using it with a dual-fuel heat
pump. Robertshaw, 800/445-8299,
Energy-Saving Blower Motor.
Electronically.comutated motors (ECMs) in forced-air furnaces
use about half the electricity of more conventional blower
motors, says a study released last year by the Energy Center of
Wisconsin. The study examined the energy consumption of 31
90-percentefficiency Wisconsin furnaces, 14 of which
had ECM blowers, and found that the additional $550 up-front
cost of the ECM could be recouped in 15 years if the blower was
used for heating and cooling exclusively, or in two or three
years if it ran continuously. With those statistics in mind,
check out the Affinity Variable Speed Furnaces from York.
Offered in 80+ and 90+ efficiencies, the new furnaces use a
variable-speed ECM blower. The 90+ unit has an Energy Star
rating. York, 877/874-7378,
Peak Performance. In addition to elaborate millwork and paint
schemes, Victorian homes often boast decorative metal accents,
including decorative ridge metal and cresting. Sadly, these
elements are often sacrificed when replacement pieces prove
tough to find. If you need decorative exterior metalwork for a
restoration project, get in touch with W.F. Norman Corp.
This.comany continues to produce the same galvanized steel and
copper Ornamental Ridge Tiles and Cresting it's sold for more
than 100 years, plus countless other decorative
metal.comonents. It can also custom match existing pieces. The
copper ridge shown here sells for about $10.50 per foot; a
matching copper finial sells for $55. The two galvanized
profiles.com in 5-foot lengths and sell for about $15 each.
W.F. Norman, 800/641-4038, www.wfnorman.com
Open and Shut Case.Shutters are a
key.comonent of many historic homes — and I'm not
talking about the tacky plastic versions from the lumberyard or
home center. When nothing but real wood will do, consider Cedar
Shutters from Timberlane Woodcrafters. Made from red cedar,
they are available in raised- and recessed-panel,
board-and-batten, and louvered designs. Timberlane offers
hundreds of styles and sizes and can make exact duplicates of
your existing shutters. The.comany also makes interior shutters
and sells functional shutter hardware. The Bermuda Shutters
(above) cost $310 per window. The Radius Top Shutters (far
right) cost $400, and the two- and three-panel shutters (right)
cost $405 perwindow. All prices include the hardware shown.
Timberlane, 800/250-2221, www.timberlane.com
Southern Hospitality.
Getting the paint colors right is one of the most important
aspects of any historic restoration. Last spring, Duron started
selling a line of paints inspired by the colors of homes
and.comercial buildings in historic Charleston, S.C.
Previously, these hues were available only in a few
Charleston-area Lord and Evans paint stores. The Colors of
Historic Charleston.com in both exterior and interior
formulations in several sheens..comared with many other
historic paints, they're a bargain: Exterior latex runs about
$32 per gallon. Duron, 800/723-8766,

Narrow your search
If Microsoft wants to make music search a core component of its new search engine, it ought to consider buying Grooveshark.
The search engine for music files filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy Tuesday to help protect against record company lawsuits, and it looks like they've taken one of my favorite sites, Songerize, down with them.
Find music and play it on your iPhone with this online music database app.
I wondered how Grooveshark was able to avoid the record industry lawsuits faced by other on-demand streaming companies like Imeem and Seeqpod. Turns out, it wasn't.
Also: The Weather Channel has a new, ad-supported iPhone app; SeeqPod has filed for bankruptcy protection; and AdMob launches a new iPhone Download Exchange Program.
Created by the developer of the now-defunct Songerize, Songite lets you enter the name of any song to hear it right now.
What does this app bring to the table that other music search engines don't? Plenty.
Possibly the best iPhone Web app yet: vtap trumps built-in iPhone YouTube app
A few developments this week of note.
Songbeat takes aim at the digital-downloading business with its new player, which can record music streams from across the Web. But is it just like radio to cassette?

Gather around, children, and I will tell you the tale of what it was like in the time before time. When the world was a vast emptiness waiting for a spark to ignite the torch of hope and rock and roll. It was 1975 and the spark erupted when a man we'll call "Lemmy" appeared on the scene with his band Motorhead. They would go on to bring the world "Overkill", "The Ace of Spades", "Iron Fist", "Eat The Rich", "Rock and Roll" and so much more. 38 years and 21 studio albums later, Motorhead gives us another gift in the form of their latest record "Aftermath".
As a rule, I try not to assume anything. You know what they say happens when you assume. Or at least I assume you do. This week, however, I'm going out on a limb and guessing that you are at least mildly familiar with the work of Motorhead. But, if you have not heard of Motorhead I have one question... under which rock do you live?
It's true, I have been honored with the task of reviewing this latest album from the legendary metal band Motorhead. The sole constant member, lead vocalist and bassist is the iconic, gravel voiced Lemmy Kilmister. You may have seen the documentary "Lemmy" that came out a couple of years ago and if you haven't you should.
Motorhead's latest album is a bold departure for Lemmy and the band. They've added a horn section and keyboards to the mix which gives the songs and other-world feel. Nah, I'm just messing with you. This is Motorhead, for chrissakes.
Motorhead has a sound that is original and unique to them and they haven't strayed too far from their original formula. This leads us to an interesting discussion - why do some bands who refuse to change their style grow stagnant and irrelevant while some, like Motorhead, AC/DC and a few others, find strength in remaining true to the sound that first brought them success? The answer, I believe, is a "we're gonna play what we wanna play and we don't care what anyone else thinks" attitude. Motorhead has it in spades.
As previously mentioned, Motorhead's latest album "Aftershock" is their 21st studio album and it sounds, well, like Motorhead. And what's funny is it's really good. It's classic Motorhead. I think you could add this CD to your Motorhead collection, put your player on "shuffle" and it would be difficult to identify the different albums the songs are from much less which decade. The bass sound is just as loud and distorted as ever. The vocals are the same Lemmy. The guitar, the drums, it's the same. And, for Motorhead, that's a good thing.
The record contains 14 tracks and kicks off with the powerful "Heartbreaker" (I hoped this was a cover of the Pat Benatar classic but it's not). This is Lemmy, Phil Campbell and Mikkey Dee doing what they do best. Rock and f'n roll!
Motorhead has successfully fused elements of rock, punk and blues in their music. "Aftermath" contains a couple of slower, bluesy numbers in the form of "Lost Woman Blues" and "Dust and Glass" proving Lemmy has some soul as well as power in his vocals.
If you're looking for some rock, you'll find it in every song. Some of the standouts for me are "Death Machine", "Going to Mexico" and "Silence When You Speak To Me". The songs of "Aftermath" are as good as anything Motorhead has released previously. Some of the riffs may sound similar to those you've heard before but it doesn't come off as redundant or rehashing. There's also a confidence and an attitude here that can only come from years producing quality material.
What more can I say? This is freakin' Motorhead, baby.
If you have been a fan of Motorhead over the years as I have, then you will love this album. If you're only a casual listener then I still think you'll love this album. But if you never liked Motorhead, this album is not going to change your mind. It is the latest in a long line of iconic recordings by a band that is quite content to go on playing the music they love the only way they know how, loud, loud, loud and in your face. Long live Lemmy and cheers to Motorhead.

openSUSE 11.1 with vast improvements to KDE4
The openSUSE Project has released version 11.1 of its Community Linux today. Besides undergoing comprehensive maintenance, the release brings vast improvements to the KDE 4 Desktop.
The newest openSUSE comes with the KDE 4.1.3 desktop with impressive graphic effects, which, with the appropriate 3D hardware support, is automatically activated. Among the new KDE applications is an update applet that works with PackageKit as backend.
OpenSUSE 11.1 is proprietary software free, but users can use the Package Manager to add programs such as Skype and Adobe from external sources. In addition, the Box Version of the release comes with a CD containing various proprietary programs. Freshware, such as Linux Kernel 2.6.27, Firefox 3.0.4, OpenOffice 3.0, Gnome 2.24.1, KDE 3.5.10, and Mono 2.0.1 are also included.
Also new, the user no longer must accept the EULA conditions.
The decision to use non-proprietary software is evident throughout the release. Agfa Fonts have been replaced with open source alternative Liberation Fonts and OpenJDK takes the place of Sun Java, which can also be added from the external source. The Feature List provides further information about new additions and updates.
In cooperation with Fedora, openSUSE has built in support for the hardware data bank Smolt, giving users the possibility to save data to a central service, which leads to improvements in hardware support. The developers emphasize that v11.1 is the first release to be produced solely with openSUSE Build Service (OBS). The distribution download is available in different forms, including a USB variation and 32Bit and 64Bit system versions.
OpenSUSE 11.1 will serve as a bedrock for version 11 of Suse Linux Enterprise products, so we can expect this release to be watched closely by the developers and bugs to be fixed very quickly.

Adjuvant Therapy for Kidney Cancer
Name of the Trial
Principal Investigators
Why This Trial Is Important
In this trial, patients who have tumors that can be surgically removed and who are at high risk for recurrence will be given sunitinib (Sutent), sorafenib (Nexavar), or a placebo as postoperative (adjuvant) therapy. Patients given the placebo will receive the current standard of care for their condition, which is no adjuvant therapy.
Sunitinib and sorafenib are targeted therapies that block cell proliferation and angiogenesis. Angiogenesis is important for the growth and spread of malignant kidney tumors, and blocking it may help prevent the growth of cancer cells that remain after surgery.
"Both sunitinib and sorafenib were approved recently by the FDA to treat metastatic kidney cancer," said Dr. Haas. "If either of these agents helps improve disease-free survival following complete surgical removal of the tumors in patients who are at high risk for recurrence, it will lead to a change in clinical practice."

Mahalo CEO Jason Calacanis has offered Twitter $250,000 to appear in the suggested users area that newly signed up members see when they first join Twitter.
TechCrunch confirmed the offer with Twitter and pointed out the value of the spots could be substantial. People on the list can gain 10,000 new users a day or 3.6 million a year.
Calacanis sees the power of Twitter growing over the next 5 years and has offered $120,000 a year for a spot and said he would pay $250,000 for 2 years in advance. He also said he would be willing to limit his twits to his followers to 10 a day to avoid accusations of spamming.
Nice to see a value put on something on Twitter.

Although we didn't leave the port until around 5:30 that afternoon we took that time to become aquainted with the ship. By the time we left it was time for our dinner. We found the main dining room and the dining room personnel to be top notch. We enjoyed every meal we ate there and the service was superior. The staff did everything they could to make our dining experiences as perfect as they could and we had no complaints. We also ate breakfast and lunch there a couple of times which were also delicious!
Our cabins were interior and served us well for the time we spent in them. The first couple of days were spent at sea and they were windy and cold. Once we arrived in Jamaica the weather warmed up and was nice for each port day. The ports of call were nice and we enjoyed visiting Jamaica, The Grand Cayman and Cozumel. Jimmy our cruise director was the bomb and tried to fill every day with something that appealed to everyone. The enterainment was excellent! The parade, street party and NYE celebration were so much fun. The Navigator is a beautiful ship and her crew works hard to ensure fun, good health and safety for all! We hope to sail again with RCI!

Texas Challenges EPA's Unlawful Take Over of State Air Permitting Program

Obama Administration undermines transparency, openness in government by depriving Texans of a public notice and comment period
AUSTIN -- The State of Texas today filed a legal action challenging the federal government's attempt to take over Texas' air permitting program. Court documents filed by the State explain that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's improper overreach violates the Clean Air Act, which mandates a cooperative relationship between the federal government and the states.
By unilaterally asserting federal control over Texas' air permitting program, the Obama Administration violated the Clean Air Act, the EPA's own regulations, and important legal protections that foster transparency and openness in government -- such as the requirement that new federal rules be subject to a public notice and comment period.
"Once again the federal government is overreaching and improperly intruding upon the State of Texas and its legal rights," Attorney General Abbott said. "With today's new regulations, the EPA is both unlawfully commandeering Texas' environmental enforcement program and violating federal laws that give the State and its residents the opportunity to fully participate in the regulatory process. Transparency and openness in government -- which is the very purpose of the public notice and comment period ignored by the EPA -- are vital to our democratic system of government and, like the legal rights guaranteed to the State of Texas, cannot be simply overlooked because the Administration wants to impose unilaterally its agenda on the American people."
The State's legal action involves the EPA's unprecedented effort to regulate so-called greenhouse gas emissions under the Clean Air Act. Like many other states, Texas law does not currently deem greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide to be pollutants. However, unlike every other similarly situated state, Texas -- and only Texas -- was singled out by the EPA, which is attempting to take over the State's air permitting program effective Jan. 2, 2011. The State's petition for review and request for emergency stay were filed with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit and ask the federal court to immediately halt the EPA's improper attempt to commandeer Texas' air permitting program.
Under the federal Clean Air Act, preventing air pollution is "the primary responsibility of States and local governments," not the federal government. Since the Act's passage in 1972, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) -- not the EPA -- has been the primary authority for issuing Clean Air Act permits in the State of Texas. TCEQ issues permits under air permitting procedures prescribed by state law.
Under TCEQ's watch, Texas' air permitting program has successfully reduced harmful emissions in the State of Texas at a higher rate than most other states. Emissions data cited by the Governor's Office indicates that the Texas clean air program achieved a 22 percent reduction in ozone and a 46 percent reduction in nitrous oxide, which outpaces the eight percent and 27 percent reductions that were recorded nationally.
Since the Clean Air Act's inception, Texas' air permitting laws have never required TCEQ to regulate so-called greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide. And under previous administrations, including the Clinton Administration, the EPA has affirmed that Texas' air permitting laws are consistent with the Clean Air Act. The Obama Administration's EPA, however, reversed nearly 40 years of precedent -- and cooperative enforcement -- by attempting to unilaterally impose its policy prerogatives on the State of Texas.
The EPA's legally flawed and economically harmful plan to regulate carbon dioxide under the Clean Air Act is the subject of other legal challenges currently being pursued by the Texas Attorney General's Office.
Earlier this year, the EPA indicated that Texas and 12 other states could have until December 11, 2011 -- approximately one year -- to implement new air permitting procedures regulating greenhouse gases. That announcement, however, ignored the Clean Air Act, which requires that the EPA give states at least three years to enact any sweeping amendments to their air permitting programs.
Today, the EPA reversed course and declared that -- rather than give Texas even a year -- it would unilaterally take over the State's air permitting responsibilities on Jan. 2, 2011. While the EPA's original Dec. 11, 2011, deadline was itself legally baseless, the EPA now has deprived Texas of any opportunity to revise its laws -- when the Clean Air Act provides a three-year period for states to contemplate and enact such changes.
As the Attorney General's motion for stay explains, the EPA's actions are arbitrary and capricious -- and violate both the Clean Air Act and the Administrative Procedure Act. In an attempt to justify its takeover of Texas' duly-enacted permitting program, the Obama Administration today rejected Texas' air permitting laws that the EPA had already approved 18 years ago.
Additionally, rather than comply with laws that require the public be given the opportunity to provide input, the EPA hurriedly imposed its takeover of Texas' air permitting program without any public comment or debate. Thus, not only did the Obama Administration violate the State's legal rights by failing to comply with mandatory procedures, the EPA also failed to provide the State of Texas and its residents a meaningful say in the way air quality is regulated in Texas -- which is required under the Clean Air Act. Instead, the EPA has attempted to shut off any public scrutiny of its actions.
Today's petition for review was filed by Attorney General Abbott on behalf of Gov. Rick Perry, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, the Texas Department of Agriculture, the Texas Railroad Commission, the Texas General Land Office, and Texas Public Utility Commissioners Barry Smitherman, Donna Nelson, and Kenneth Anderson. The petition for review will be followed by further legal briefs from both the State of Texas and the EPA. The State's emergency motion for stay asks the court to issue a stay by Jan. 2, 2011, in order to halt the EPA's scheduled takeover of Texas' air permitting program.
