Just found this awesome blog and this awesome post. May be reblogging a lot of what's on there
The Misconception: You take randomness into account when determining cause and effect.
The Truth: You tend to ignore random chance when the results seem meaningful or when you want a random event to have a meaningful cause.
Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy were both presidents of the United States, elected 100 years apart. Both were shot and killed by assassins who were known by three names with 15 letters, John Wilkes Booth and Lee Harvey Oswald, and neither killer would make it to trial.
Spooky, huh? It gets better.
Lincoln had a secretary named Kennedy, and Kennedy had a secretary named Lincoln.
They were both killed on a Friday while sitting next to their wives, Lincoln in the Ford Theater, Kennedy in a Lincoln made by Ford.
Both men were succeeded by a man named Johnson – Andrew for Lincoln and Lyndon for Kennedy. Andrew was born in 1808. Lyndon in…

全世界有数百万名比特币持有者,今年 9 月下旬的某一天时全球每天交易 24 万"枚"比特币,按照当天的比特币美元价格计算高达 5600 万美元。
这种以加密代码形态存在的虚拟货币已经风靡全球,以至于它的发明者"中本聪"刚刚被经济和金融学界提名为诺奖候选人。昨天加州大学洛杉矶分校的金融学教授 Bhagwan Chowdhry 在赫芬顿邮报(Huffinton Post)上撰文表示,已经提名中本聪(Satoshi Nakamoto)为 2016 年诺贝尔奖经济学奖的候选人。
自从 2010 年最后一次在比特币社区以"中本聪"的账号名称露面回帖之后,这位比特币的发明者,传说中的数学家、密码学家至今没有在网上或现实生活中公开露面过。根据 Tech2ipo 的一篇报道,截止至 2014 年, 外界估算"中本聪"本人可能持有多达一百万枚比特币,按照今天的美元比价计算,大约价值 3.7 亿美元。
去年三月,《新闻周刊》记者莉亚·古德曼在美国加州 Temple City 找到了一位姓名为多利安·中本(Dorian Nakamoto)的男子,将其认作为"中本聪"并率队对其大肆"采访"。多利安·中本家住洛杉矶圣贝纳蒂诺山脚下,今年 65 岁,是一名日裔美国人,毕业于加州州立理工大学,获物理学士学位。1973 年他 23 岁时将自己的名字从中本聪(Satoshi Nakamoto)更改为多利安·普伦蒂斯·中本聪(Dorian Prentice Satoshi Nakamoto),之后便不再使用原名,并使用多利安·S·中本作为签名。
去年九月,一位匿名黑客"LulzClerk"在 Pastbin 上发帖,声称自己黑入了"中本聪" 2010 年沉寂之前,在比特币社区个人账号所用的电子邮件地址:firstname.lastname@example.com。该黑客提供了自己取得该邮箱控制权的证据:两张截图,显示名叫"中本聪"的邮箱主人于 2013 年 6 月 14 日在 Card Reader Factory 购买了一款读卡器,订单发票寄送和送货地址为密苏里州圣路易斯某地。
有趣的是,在 LulzClerk 黑入该电子邮件之后,邮件的原控制者还曾多次成功修改密码,只不过之后又被这名黑客夺取控制权。科技媒体 Motherboard 尝试跟这个电子邮件取得联系,发现先后联系上了两个人,一个是黑客,另一个则是"主人"。这名"主人"对 Motherbord 表示,自己只是出于兴趣偶然获得了邮箱地址和密码。目前尚无公开的证据可以确认这名"主人"就是"中本聪"本人。
"中本聪"的身世之谜,成为了除了比特币的实时比价以及新的加密技术之外,最让比特币玩家们关心的话题。提名中本聪参选诺奖的 Bhagwan Chowdhry 认为,如果要找对经济体系造成了巨大的颠覆式的影响,比特币发明者的名字瞬间就跳入他的脑海中:
根据 2016 年诺奖评选、开奖和颁奖的日程设置,明年的 10 月评选结果才会公布,而颁奖典礼将设在 12 月。也就是说,不管"中本聪"是否能够被成功提名进而参选、进而获奖,至少要到一年后才能揭晓了。
Nakamoto So was nominated for the Nobel prize, but no one in the world could find him
Millions of bitcoin holders around the world, one day in late September this year, the world traded 240 thousand per day "bitcoin" bitcoin, according to the day's bitcoin dollar price of up to $56 million.
The virtual currency, built in the form of encrypted code, has swept the world so that its inventor, central China, has just been nominated by the economic and financial community as a Nobel candidate. Yesterday, University of California at Los Angeles finance professor Bhagwan Chowdhry at the Huffington post (Huffinton Post) on the author said, has named Nakamoto (Satoshi Nakamoto) for the 2016 Nobel prize in economics prize.
Today, however, no one in the world can find him.
Since 2010, the last time in the bitcoin community to Nakamoto account name appeared replies, the bitcoin inventor, mathematician and cryptographer in legend has not online or in real life in public appearances too. According to a report by Tech2ipo, as of 2014, the estimate was that the company could hold as many as one million bitcoins, valued at about $370 million in today's dollar value.
Last March, the "Newsweek" reporter Liya Goodman in the United States of California Temple City found a name for Dorian in the (Dorian Nakamoto) man, be regarded as Nakamoto and led the team of the "big" interview". In Losangeles Dorian – lived in San Benedetto, at the foot of the mountain, 65 years old this year, is a Japanese American, graduated from California Polytechnic State University, with a bachelor's degree in physics. In 1973 he was 23 years old when his name from the Cong (Satoshi Nakamoto) Dorian Prentiss Dibengtson (Dorian Prentice Satoshi changed to Nakamoto), after they no longer use the original name, and the use of Dorian – S – in the signature as.
Because of the "Newsweek" and subsequent media interviews on the size of your life has caused the infestation of prostate cancer in the Dorian – later suffered a stroke. He tried to alarm, once will be "Newsweek" to court.
Last September, an anonymous hacker "LulzClerk" in the Pastbin post, claiming black into Nakamoto before 2010, used in the bitcoin community personal account email address: email@example.com. The hacker provides herself the mailbox control evidence: two screenshots, display name Nakamoto mailbox owner in June 14, 2013 in Card Reader Factory to buy a card reader, sending orders invoices and shipping address for the state of Missouri in Saint Louis province.
Interestingly, after the LulzClerk hacked into the e-mail, the original controller of the message had repeatedly successfully modified the password, but was later taken control of the hacker. Motherboard, a technology media, tried to get in touch with the email and found that two people had been contacted, one was a hacker and the other was "the host."". The owner told Motherbord that he had accidentally got his email address and password. At present, there is no public evidence to confirm that the name "master" is "Zhong Cong cong" himself.
The mystery of the life story of "Ben cong" has become the topic of interest for bitcoin players in addition to the real-time exchange rate of bitcoin and the new encryption technology. Bhagwan Chowdhry, who nominated the candidate for the Nobel Prize, believes that the name of the bitcoin inventor immediately jumped into his mind if he wanted to find a huge subversive effect on the economy:
Not only the Nakamoto contribution will completely change our way of thinking about money, the central bank is likely to subvert the play in the role of monetary policy, and will destroy this high cost such as Western Union remittance services, the complete elimination of such as Visa, MasterCard and Paypal 2-4% they charge intermediary transaction tax, eliminating troublesome and expensive notary and intermediary services, in fact it will completely change the way of contract law.
According to the 2016 Nobel award, lottery and award schedule, next year's October results will be announced, and the presentation ceremony will be held in December. That is to say, no matter whether "Zhong Cong cong" can be successfully nominated, and then run, and then won the prize, at least a year later can be announced.

"Allow 3-4 weeks for delivery."
I recently redeemed 2,000 hard-earned Open Table dining points. I think it's taken me almost ten years to finally cross this first redemption threshold; not sure if that's a commentary on how poorly I'm doing at dining out overall, or just within OT's network of restaurants, but it's pretty damned lame. Still, I figured I finally had a credit I could apply, so…let's claim that thing?
Not so fast.
I submit the form and see the response come back from the server. I'm expecting to get a PDF to print, or maybe even a bar code to flash on their mobile app at my next restaurant. Mais non! "Your certificate will be mailed to you. Please allow 3-4 weeks for delivery."
How in the name of Loyalty Marketing does a company born and developed solely online to disrupt offline restaurant seat inventory allocation, decide to mail you a bleeping piece of paper in the year of our Lord, Twenty Twelve? And what about the fulfillment process requires them to take as long as General Mills did with secret decoder rings in cereal boxes, circa 1964?
I'm sure there is some sound terms-of-service reason for this lag, but perception is reality and this particular perception is baffling.
Red Tails: "I have a bad feeling about this."
Red Tails has all the ingredients to be great – Lucasfilm SFX, an encouraging yet overlooked story from an otherwise overworked genre, and what appears to be an ace cast – but to paraphrase my man Han Solo, "I've got a bad feeling about this."
But I'm afraid there'll be an inevitable Jar Jar moment – a character or situation so out of tune with the message or even the plot (thankfully Lucas doesn't have a writing credit) – that it'll turd the punchbowl of an otherwise stirring film. I need look no further than this quote for damning concern:
"'For me, 'Red Tails' is like 'Flying Leathernecks' (a 1951 aviator picture with John Wayne). It's corny. It's uber-patriotic. And it's a really exciting action-adventure movie.
"As for the racism in our story, it's embedded in the material, so we just had to be careful not to overdo it.'"
He also put at least $50M of his own money into it, so you just know he's been meddling with the final cut.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I really want it to be great. But we've been here before – notably while waiting in line for Star Wars Episode I: The Death of Your Childhood Franchise.
On getting new designers deeply involved in your startup
Here's a post I just guest-authored over at the excellent Design Staff blog, where my former Google colleagues @kowitz, @jazer, and Michael Margolis offer incredibly useful insight on working in design in a startup context.
5 things you should do to keep new design hires sane, and insanely engaged
(…and thus, my streak of not writing an actual post with original content on this site is extended.)
Something I worked on recently: an 'infowidget'
Here's a widget we've cooked up for a quick celebratory post at BigDoor.
Cheers to our ace designer, Chad Jacobsen, for the infographic and for rolling with the countless creative gyrations. I love that he can cook up such substantial visual elements in basically 0 seconds flat. I enjoyed writing the underlying CSS/JS and markup; first time in a long time I've put together a widget like this. Maybe the first since FeedBurner Email?
Also, if you like that cool parallax scrolling effect – e.g., how the clouds scroll along in the background more slowly, creating an artificial sense of depth – head over to Jon Raasch's site to learn more about the JQuery plugin that powers it. It Just Works.
If I'm blogging again, I guess this is where it'll go.
I don't have a plan yet, but I know 140 character missives, social circles, and even the occasional Instagram somehow isn't capturing everything I'd like to communicate. This is the place where the other fiddly bits will go.
Template customization and other fascinating minutiae are also sure to follow.

PitchStone needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 135 designs submitted by 46 freelance designers.
PitchStone Technology
PitchStone Technology is a small new startup that develops medical software to help health care facilities manage their revenue. We're just starting out and have yet to really find our identity.
Part of what we do is develop software that other software vendors can integrate into their own systems. That's why we're looking for a "Powered by PitchStone" logo that we can use on our website,business cards, magazine ads, expo banners etc..
Office managers at physician offices and hospital administrators. Basically, the decision makers in healthcare facilities.
Other software vendors are our audience too. This is something that other companies will use on their websites/software when they partner with us.
We're fairly open on the design. We're thinking something sharp and classy. Nothing cartoonish or too extreme. Remember, we're targeting healthcare administrators. However, that doesn't mean boring, either.
Originally, we were thinking of an oval with the "Powered by PitchStone" text inside. Also thought about the oval being done like a single paint brush stroke... but whatever...go with anything you want.
It would also be really cool if we were able to remove the "Powered by PitchStone" from the logo and still have a nice standalone logo... but that's not a requirement, just a "nice to have" option.
We've just started building our website... nothing really to look at yet. http://www.pitchstonetechnology.com
I don't know enough about graphics to know exactly what size/format I need other than I know we'll need a white background version and a transparent background version. We will be using this logo on our website, business cards, magazine ads, expo banners, t-shirts, etc.. So pretty much everything.
Seems like we'd need the following for various website and business card uses:
- Small Size (e.g. 50 pixels high) PNG
- Medium Size (e.g. 100 pixels high) PNG
- Large Size (e.g. 200-300 pixels high) PNG
- A vector format of the file
And then we'd need a really large PSD file that we can use for banners, t-shirts and such...

(www.TheSunDevils.com) -- Junior starting pitcher Jason Urquidez gave a gutsy performance and freshman closer Zechry Zinicola nailed down his eighth save as the Arizona State Sun Devils stayed alive in the NCAA Tournament with a 6-4 win over Minnesota in an elimination game at the Fullerton Regional at Goodwin Field.
The Sun Devils improved to 41-17 overall and will look to extend the 2004 season one more day with a matchup against the loser of the Cal State Fullerton/Pepperdine game currently being played. The Sun Devils will have to win three straight games in order to move on to the NCAA Super Regional.
Urquidez (Simi Valley, Calif.) improved to 12-3 while scattering six hits and three runs in 5.1 innings. The junior right-hander struck out four and walked three. Zinicola (San Bernadino, Calif.) tied the ASU freshman record with his eighth save, allowing one run and striking out four over the final 3.2 innings.
Minnesota starter Jay Gagner (6-1) had his perfect 5-0 record spoiled giving up four hits and three runs in 2.2 innings. Reliever Craig Molldrem gave up three runs and five hits in 4.2 innings and freshman lefty John Gaub shut down ASU late in the game with three strikeouts in 1.2 perfect innings.
The Devils got off to a quick start with three runs in the first inning. A leadoff walk to Dustin Pedroia and singles from Travis Buck and Jeff Larish loaded the bases with one out. Junior catcher Tuffy Gosewisch gave ASU the early lead plating a run with a sharp groundout to shortstop. Freshman first baseman Joe Persichina came through with a clutch two-out, two-run single to left field.
ASU added to its lead with two more runs in the top of the fourth inning. Persichina led off with a bunt single and came around to score on a groundout by third baseman Seth Dhaenens. Pedroia extended the lead to 5-0 with a two-out single to center field.
Minnesota got on the board with a leadoff solo home run from first baseman Andy Hunter. Hunter again cut into the ASU lead with a run-scoring single in the bottom of the sixth inning to pull UM to within two runs at 5-3.
The Devils added to their lead with a single tally in the seventh. Pedroia led off with a single to left field and moved to third base on a hit-and-run single through the left side by Buck. Josh Asanovich put ASU's sixth run on the board with a fielder's choice groundout to second base.
The Gophers pulled to within two runs at 6-4 with Hunter again in the middle of the rally. The sophomore first baseman led off with a double down the right field line, moved to third on a wild pitch and scored on a groundout by designated hitter Mike Mee. Zinicola got pinch-hitter Gary Dick to strike out to end the inning.
Minnesota tried to rally in the ninth loading the bases with two outs, but Zinicola got Mike Mee to fly out to center field on a 3-2 fastball to end the game.
Buck (Richland, Wash.) led ASU at the plate going 3-for-5 and in two regional games is batting .700 (7-for-10). Pedroia also went 2-for-4 with two runs scored and Persichina was 2-for-4 with a pair of RBI.
Hunter led Minnesota's 10-hit attack going 3-for-4 with two runs and two RBI. Third baseman David Hrncirik and Luke McLean were also 2-for-4.

After postponing the 90th running of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb (PPIHC) because of the then raging Waldo Canyon Wildfire, PPIHC officials have now announced that the Race to the Clouds will commence next month, on Sunday, August 12th.
Witnessing the enormous draw of safety personnel and resources to the Waldo Canyon fires, PPIHC official decided to cancel its scheduled July 8th running of the race, as the requisite number of support staff would be unable to attend, as they were battling the nearby blaze. Now with the Waldo Canyon Wildfire nearing complete containment, Colorado Springs officials can turn their attention to other matters.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
As we do every year, Israelis on Wednesday made the incredible transition from deep mourning to bounding joy as they first marked the nation's Memorial Day for its fallen soldiers before moving immediately into Independence Day.
Nearly every Israeli has lost a family member of friend to war or terrorism, meaning that for nearly every Israeli, Memorial Day is a very solemn time. At sunset on Wednesday, our mourning will turn to sudden joy as we burst into celebration over what the sacrifice of our loved ones has purchased - a safe and secure Jewish homeland after millennia of exile and persecution.
We at Israel Today want to invite our readers to help celebrate Israel's 64th Independence Day by purchasing unique, Israeli-made goods at our Jerusalem Depot online store. Every purchase helps support Israeli craftsmen and producers, as well as the local Messianic community.

The Last Word
The Last Word is a strongly worded left-leaning populist zine that began in Highland Heights, Kentucky, in 1993 and is still published in Bellevue, Kentucky. To date, over 400 issues have been published.
The Last Word began as a print zine but evolved into an online zine. This zine aroused so much controversy in the late 1990s that text-only copies of it were repeatedly deleted from Usenet, even if they were only posted on one newsgroup.
The Last Word is one of few zines to issue endorsements in local, state, and national elections. In 2000 it endorsed Ralph Nader for President of the United States. It usually endorses third party populists but has frequently favored Democrats in the absence of a more suitable candidate. The Last Word has also taken strong stances against racism and school uniforms and has strongly supported labor causes.
The Last Word also features humor articles (many of which discuss the editor's former high school, which he has an extremely low opinion of) and often uses its own vocabulary (e.g., a bunker blast is the act of passing gas). This zine also makes up humorous nicknames for politicians it dislikes.
The editor claims that fake copies of the zine were distributed in the mid-1990s, with material that he did not write.

How is kitesurfing treating you? is it making you stronger is it wearing you out? if its wearing you out. What parts are getting worn because of kiting?
What else do you do to condition your body for kiting... if anything.

Problem: tall signatures (y'know, the stylish little art bits & photos attached to the bottom of some posters' messages) are making the message board become v-e-r-y l-o-n-g. So, following a thread often takes several pages, 1/2 of which is scrolling through tall signatures. Also, biggers signatures take longer to load, so pages come up slower.
Solution: please try to limit the vertical height (# of pixels) as much as possible: ideally less than 60, but in no case over 100. They can be as horizontally w-i-d-e as 600 pixels, but just watch out for that vertical height.

Your arteries carry blood rich in oxygen and nutrients from your heart to the rest of your body. When the arteries in your legs become blocked, your legs do not receive enough blood or oxygen, and you may have a condition called peripheral artery disease (PAD), sometimes called leg artery disease.
AD can cause discomfort or pain when you walk. The pain can occur in your hips, buttocks, thighs, knees, shins, or upper feet. Leg artery disease is considered a type of peripheral arterial disease because it affects the arteries, blood vessels that carry blood away from your heart to your limbs. You are more likely to develop PAD as you age. One in 3 people age 70 or older has PAD. Smoking or having diabetes increases your chances of developing the disease sooner.
The aorta is the largest artery in your body, and it carries blood pumped out of your heart to the rest of your body. Just beneath your belly button in your abdomen, the aorta splits into the two iliac arteries, which carry blood into each leg. When the iliac arteries reach your groin, they split again to become the femoral arteries. Many smaller arteries branch from your femoral arteries to take blood down to your toes.
Your arteries are normally smooth and unobstructed on the inside but, as you age, they can become blocked through a process called atherosclerosis, which means hardening of the arteries. As you age, a sticky substance called plaque can build up in the walls of your arteries. Plaque is made up of cholesterol, calcium, and fibrous tissue. As more plaque builds up, your arteries narrow and stiffen. Eventually, enough plaque builds up to reduce blood flow to your leg arteries. When this happens, your leg does not receive the oxygen it needs. Physicians call this leg artery disease. You may feel well and still have leg artery disease or sometimes similar blockages in other arteries, such as those leading to the heart or brain. It is important to treat this disease not only because it may place you at a greater risk for limb loss but also for having a heart attack or stroke.
You may not feel any symptoms from peripheral artery disease at first. The most common early symptom is intermittent claudication (IC). IC is discomfort or pain in your legs that happens when you walk and goes away when you rest. You may not always feel pain; instead you may feel a tightness, heaviness, cramping, or weakness in your leg with activity. IC often occurs more quickly if you walk uphill or up a flight of stairs. Over time, you may begin to feel IC at shorter walking distances. Only about 50 percent of the people with leg artery disease have blockages severe enough to experience IC.
Critical limb ischemia is a symptom that you may experience if you have advanced peripheral artery disease. This occurs when your legs do not get enough oxygen even when you are resting. With critical limb ischemia, you may experience pain in your feet or in your toes even when you are not walking.
In severe peripheral artery disease, you may develop painful sores on your toes or feet. If the circulation in your leg does not improve, these ulcers can start as dry, gray, or black sores, and eventually become dead tissue (called gangrene).
Atherosclerosis causes peripheral artery disease. As you get older, your risk of developing leg artery disease increases. People older than age 50 have an increased risk of developing the disease, and men have a greater risk than women.
Other factors that increase your chances of developing the disease include:
First your physician asks you questions about your general health, medical history, and symptoms. In addition, your physician conducts a physical exam. Together these are known as a patient history and exam. As part of your history and exam, your physician will ask you if you smoke or have high blood pressure. Your physician will also want to know when your symptoms occur and how often. As part of the physical exam, your physician will conduct pulse tests, which measure the strength of your pulse in arteries behind your knees and feet.
After your exam, if your physician suspects peripheral artery disease, he or she may perform tests, such as:
To better understand the extent of your leg artery disease, your physician may also recommend duplex ultrasound, pulse volume recording, magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), or angiography.
If your peripheral artery disease is detected early, you can make lifestyle changes to help you manage your disease. See the section entitled "What Can I Do to Stay Healthy?"
Your physician may also recommend medication to treat conditions that worsen or complicate leg artery disease. These medications may include cholesterol-lowering drugs (statins) or blood pressure-lowering medications. You may also need to take medications that reduce blood clotting to minimize the chances of clots blocking your narrowed arteries.
If you do not have a disqualifying medical condition, such as heart failure, your physician may also prescribe cilostazol (Pletal), which can improve the distance you are able to walk without discomfort or pain. Other drugs your physician may prescribe include aspirin and clopidogrel (Plavix), either of which can decrease your chances of developing blood clots.
Exercising and walking regularly, for instance walking at least 30 minutes 3 times each week, may help improve your symptoms.
In more severe cases of leg peripheral disease, lifestyle changes and medication may not be enough to improve your symptoms. Also, if your disease has advanced, your physician may recommend surgical or minimally invasive treatments. The choice of the treatment depends upon the pattern and extent of the blockages as well as other factors, such as your general health and the presence of other medical conditions. Your vascular surgeon will help you determine which is the best option for your particular situation. Sometimes a combination of the various tools available may be required for the most favorable results.
In some cases of peripheral artery disease, your physician may recommend angioplasty and stenting. This procedure is considered to be minimally invasive in comparison to open surgery. It is most effective for more localized blockages in the larger arteries. In an angioplasty, your physician inserts a long, thin, flexible tube called a catheter into a small puncture over an artery in your arm or groin. The catheter is guided through your arteries to the blocked area. Once in place, a special balloon, which is attached to the catheter, is inflated and deflated several times. The balloon pushes the plaque in your artery against your artery walls, widening the vessel. In some circumstances, your vascular surgeon may then place a tiny mesh-metal tube, called a stent, into the narrowed area of your artery to keep it open. The stent remains permanently in your artery. After this procedure, blood flows more freely through your artery. Other devices, such as atherectomy catheters, are currently being developed and are under evaluation to determine their effectiveness.
Bypass surgery creates a detour around a narrowed, or blocked, section of a leg artery. To create this bypass, your vascular surgeon uses one of your veins or a tube made from man-made materials. Your vascular surgeon attaches the bypass above and below the area that is blocked. This creates a new path for your blood to flow to your leg tissues and is particularly effective for extensive artery blockages.
An endarterectomy is a way for your surgeon to remove the plaque from your artery. To perform an endarterectomy, your vascular surgeon makes an incision in your leg and removes the plaque contained in the inner lining of the diseased artery. This leaves a wide-open artery and restores blood flow through your leg artery. The effectiveness of this method depends upon the particular location and extent of the arterial blockage.
In extreme cases, especially if your leg has gangrene and is not salvageable, your surgeon may recommend amputating your lower leg or foot. Amputation is a treatment of last resort. Vascular surgeons usually only perform it when the circulation in your leg is severely reduced and cannot be improved by the methods discussed already. More than 90 percent of patients with gangrene who are seen by vascular specialists can avoid amputation or have it limited to a small portion of the foot or toes.

USDA Proposes Making Recall Information Public
CSPI Says Move Would Help Consumers Avoid Tainted Food
A regulation proposed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety Inspection Service would help consumers avoid contaminated meat or poultry in the event of a recall, according to the nonprofit Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI). Under the draft regulation, USDA would post on its web site the names of grocery stores and restaurants that received shipments of tainted meat and poultry products. USDA's current practice is to keep that information secret and to forbid individual states from disclosing it on their own.
"Consumers have a right to know whether the meat or poultry they've purchased is being recalled due to contamination with deadly bacteria," said CSPI food safety staff attorney Ken Kelly. "By not naming the names of individual retailers, USDA had been making it difficult for consumers to avoid tainted food. This is a welcome, if overdue, change."
In 2004, CSPI launched a campaign to encourage USDA to disclose the names of stores and restaurants that receive tainted meat and poultry. CSPI says that even though the new proposal is a good first step, USDA still needs the legal authority to require companies to recall tainted foods. Currently, the agency has to rely on the meat industry's voluntary compliance with recall requests from USDA.

The fervor with which Brits protect the commons gives us a warm feeling in our various bits, but we get ornery when they cut too close to our purview. For instance, a UK watchdog group is upholding a complaint against a Mazda print ad for what they feel is a reckless usage of blurring effects and text promoting dangerous driving. We'll let the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) explain themselves:
The ASA considered that the claims "PLEASE REMOVE ALL LOOSE CHANGE", "Hold on tight", "added exhilaration" and "NOW THAT'S ZOOM-ZOOM", together with the image of a moving car against a blurred background, made speed the predominant message of the ad. We concluded that the ad was irresponsible and encouraged fast, aggressive driving and asked Mazda to amend it. We asked them to seek help from the CAP Copy Advice team when devising similar campaigns. The ad breached CAP Code clauses 2.2 (Social responsibility), 10.1 (Safety), 48.1, 48.2 and 48.3 (Motoring).
(CAP Copy Advice team? Mr. Orwell, call the front desk.) Mazda pointed out the ad was meant to convey a sensation similar to that a driver would experience in a roadster designed to be fun to drive, but was slapped down by the schoolmarms that be. And we thought dealing with the insurance lobby was tough.

I'm very pleased with this grill, sturdy construction with a nice finish, it mounted by means of vertical bars welded onto the back of the grill, you drill holes to accept bars and then use provided brackets to secure 2 of the bars. I had to modify a bit because brackets didn't work on my truck, but no big deal. Everyone says it gives truck an old school look. I think I'd pay for a 30 bar grill instead of this 20 bar grill if I had a do over, but very nice! Will not disappoint!
