The World's Oldest People
This week, we spent some time with WikiProject World's Oldest People, a project dedicated to improving biographies and lists of notable centenarians and supercentenarians. The project got off to a rocky start in March 2008 when its founder, an enthusiast from Yahoo's World's Oldest People discussion board, attempted to affiliate the WikiProject with the Gerontology Research Group. After years of edit warring, hostile debates, deleted page histories, removed images, AfDs, and arbitration, the project finally found peace and has accumulated six Good Articles and one Featured Article. The project supplements the guidelines of its parent, WikiProject Biography, with some notes on notability, sourcing, and the treatment of biographies of living people within the project's scope. We interviewed two project members, SiameseTurtle and David in DC, along with independent contributor The Blade of the Northern Lights.
What motivated you to join WikiProject World's Oldest People?
- SiameseTurtle: I was involved in researching the World's oldest people before joining Wikipedia. I got involved because I wanted to help spread the information to the public, as there are many longevity myths that appear even in the most reputable news sources. Wikipedia has a wonderful way of a lot of information in a simple way.
- David in DC: I was troubled by the poor sourcing, and dubious notability, of many articles in the longevity suite. It was also - fairly ubiquitously - ignoring, flouting or openly deprecating common Wikipedia norms (only rare edit summaries, WP:WALLEDGARDEN, WP:OWN). I felt it needed input from wikieditors who were not longevity experts and hobbyists, to try to keep the project from turning Wikipedia into a webhosting service for the Gerontology Research Group and the World's Oldest People Yahoo group. As I got more involved, I became fascinated by the topic of human longevity and how the normal human lifespan has increased so radically. Notable long-lived people in Shakespeare's time would have been 50 or 60 years old. Today, that lifespan is remarkable for being short.
- The Blade of the Northern Lights: Though I'm not actually a member, I have been very involved with the WikiProject from around November. I saw accusations of a walled garden mentality, and I thought I could help out with them. As I got a little further in, I too became extremely interested in longevity. The main catalyst came when in real life, I started taking a senior-level college class on World War I, and Frank Buckles, the last American veteran from WWI, was close to turning 110; this spurred me on to stay involved in the topic, and I have to this day.
How does the project handle articles about disputed or missing records of a person's longevity?
- SiameseTurtle: In the case of missing records, the people's ages will not be validated by an international organisation, such as the Gerontology Research Group. They're unlikely to have an article themselves without substantial news coverage (eg. Sahan Dosova). Without proof, they are treated as claims to longevity. In terms of people who are disputed, this is slightly different. Disputed in this context means that a person's age was originally thought to be valid, but new information casts some level of doubt on that age. Or it may be that the specific date of birth is unknown, perhaps due to lack of historical records (eg. Moses Hardy). Obviously these are sensitive areas, so we state the facts. However to be scientific, we do have to go with the validated date of birth. Shigechiyo Izumi was originally thought to have lived to 120 - the oldest man ever. However Japanese researchers later discovered that he was probably named after an elder sibling who died young. The case was retracted last year.
- David in DC: It relies on "experts" who make these decisions off-wiki and self-publish them on a set of Gerontology Research Group web pages.
- SiameseTurtle: These tables are also published on a regular basis in the peer-reviewed journal Rejuvenation Research. Due to the dynamic nature of the subject, with birthdays and deaths happening constantly, the tables are also published online so they can be updated more frequently, as David in DC mentions.
How is notability determined for articles about the world's oldest people? How frequently does the project deal with disagreements and misunderstandings about notability?
- SiameseTurtle: Notability is usually determined using multiple birthday reports. But it often depends on how much information those articles have. So it can take many years to gather enough information to write an article. And of course, they have to stay alive, which is a big obstacle since around 50% die each year. There are often disputes over what is deemed notable. Some articles might be borderline and might be merged into national lists of supercentenarians (eg. List of British supercentenarians). However, we recently sorted through many articles to see whether they met the general notability guideline or not. In short, it really depends. Sometimes there are many disagreements at once, and at other times very few at all.
- David in DC: The sorting is a long-term project. Notability is one issue, but reliable sourcing problems still abound.
- The Blade of the Northern Lights: To expand upon what David in DC says, there are a few people who straddle the line of notability. It tends to be a bigger problem with people from smaller countries where less attention is given to longevity, so while an American like Walter Breuning will have a lot written about him, someone from Belgium will probably have less, which has led to a few very contentious AfDs. Last year around November/December, some of the members of the Wikiproject (with some outside assistance) went to cut through the large walled garden that had accumulated, and while most of the debates came to a definitive conclusion there are still a few on which no consensus has developed; these are primarily on people in countries with less consistent coverage on this topic.
The project is home to one Featured Article, one A-class Article, and five Good Articles. Have you contributed to any of these articles? What are some challenges to getting an article on a supercentenarian up to FA or GA status?
- SiameseTurtle: I have contributed to Henry Allingham and Jeanne Calment's articles. The main challenge is that most supercentenarians are not famous before 110. All the information about them has to be garnered from news articles, which are often quite similar year on year. They generally give patchy information about their past life (where they were born, what their job was, where they lived), and what they do now, and what they believe to be the reason for their longevity. Most of the best articles are of people who served in World War One, because of the amount of press attention they received.
- David in DC: I've contributed to many articles. I've dealth with Jeanne Calment on a few lists but I don't know if any stand-alone articles I've contributed to are FA, A or GAs. The longevity tables are shaded with legends for categories like "Verified", "Unverified", and "Disputed". These categories largely mirror the information on the GRG websites.
Are images of the world's oldest people difficult to obtain? What lessons have you learned from acquiring the images currently used in articles?
- SiameseTurtle: It's very difficult to obtain uncopyrighted images. The main reason is that very few people get to visit these people. They don't really get out very often, so they are rarely seen publicly. In addition, most photographs come from birthdays and it's mostly just family and the press who are invited. So nearly all of the images of supercentenarians are copyright (and also very recent), which is an issue when trying to get images for Wikipedia.
What are the project's most pressing needs? How can a new member help today?
- SiameseTurtle: I would say the biggest issue is a lack of detail in Wikipedia articles. The newspaper articles are out there (which may or may not be in another language), but many members do not have the time, or may spend their time on Wikipedia updating the many lists we have. Thanks to the digitisation of many newspapers, it has been possible to lengthen articles such as Margaret Ann Neve and John Mosely Turner, who both died long ago. It really shows to me that articles can be rescued, it often just need a little bit of effort. I would also say that images are a real problem. Studying the World's Oldest People is a very human thing, and it's a shame that we do not have as many images as we would hope.
- David in DC: The project needs many more generalist, wikipolicy-wise editors to help it reach consensus about sources and notability.
- The Blade of the Northern Lights: I think the project would do good to encourage some more dispassionate editors to get involved in the topic area; notability to extremely passionate people may not jive with Wikipedia's notability guidelines, and the more acrimonious debates tend to occur when the two intersect. Sourcing is also an issue for some (though certainly not all) articles as well. Part of that is simply a lack of diversity in third-party sources reviewing such material (the Gerontology Research Group is the one most frequently used), but at the moment there are too many articles with justified refimprove tags in the topic area.
Anything else you'd like to add?
- SiameseTurtle: The WikiProject does not encompass all people who research the World's Oldest People, just those who are regulars on Wikipedia. We do have many people from countries all over the world who help contribute to the work we do here. Fortunately that also means that we have a very broad view on our project as we use articles from everywhere - not just the English-speaking world. I think that makes our group very encompassing and thorough in what we do.
Next week, we'll see where some of the world's oldest people might have lived. Until then, continue to read about the good old days in the archive.
- Wow, I had no idea this WikiProject even existed. You learn something every day reading Signpost! —Tom Morris (talk) 14:21, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
- Neither did I...nice read! Tofutwitch11 (TALK) 00:13, 13 October 2011 (UTC)
- You should drop in sometime; the project really is a lot of fun (the mood has really lightened since the ArbCom case), and there are some really interesting articles (my favorite is Jiroemon Kimura). It's not a particularly easy place to end up by accident, so we don't have a huge amount of people in the topic area, and we'd love more.

Questions abound on hospital situation
Published: Tuesday, August 23, 2005 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, August 23, 2005 at 12:00 a.m.
To The Editor: While I understand the need for confidentiality in winding up the relationship with Pardee Hospital's departed CEO, there seems to be more questions raised the more I hear. For example: Is there a criminal investigation underway to find out who "sabotaged" the computer system which cost nearly $1 million to fix? And if not, why not?
Why was the CEO paid what seems an astronomical salary of more than $350,000 to run a small hospital in a small town? Was this salary made public at the time of his hiring? And if not, why not?
I sympathize with the board in trying to deal with this very difficult situation, but a public institution requires more than normal scrutiny.
Surely the lessons of corporate and public problems have shown that secrecy eventually leads to more problems. The earliest and fullest disclosure of all relevant facts are critical if the hospital is to maintain strong public support. Sooner or later all the truth will come out -- sooner is always better than later.

The Spain-USA Foundation is organizing cultural events in Washington, DC all summer. The latest is "FOODJECTS: Design and the new Cuisine in Spain," an exhibition of over 100 kitchen-related objects available through Apartment Zero. The dishes, utensils, and other kitchenware designs are beautiful, useful, and thought-provoking.
The kitchen items explore the relationships between chefs, designers, and companies in Spain. Spanish designer Martin Azua curated the exhibition and included some of his own designs, like stainless steel napkin rings and "Coporron" (which he designed with Gerard Moline). "Coporron" is a hybrid combination of a Spanish copa glass and a traditional Spanish "porron" wine pitcher.
We love the "Taz-ah Cup" designed by Attua Aparicio Torinos, with a snout painted on the cup's bottom. Antoni Arola's "Eggs" bowls allow different foods or even full courses to rest separately in the same serving dish.
After DC, the objects will be shown in different cities in United States, Canada, and Latin America. See more of the FOODJECTS by touring The Washington Post's slideshow of the exhibition.

It's soon to be all grow lights and limelight for the Barrett brothers, Giono and James.
Marijuana legalization has passed in Alaska and filmmaker Thomas Oliver, who produces the Weather Channel's "Coast Guard Alaska," has started filming for a potential reality television show or documentary project about their budding business.
"It's all kind of hurry up and wait," James said about both the business and the film project.
The film project started for the Barretts when James responded to a Craigslist ad.
Alaskan traditions to ring in the new year may include polar bear dips, taking aspirin and, of course, filing for the Permanent Fund Dividend.
Alaskans can file as early as the stroke of midnight Jan. 1 and can continue to file through the deadline of March 31.
The 2014 dividend amount was $1,884, more than double the amount Alaskans received in 2013.
Time is of the essence for a proposed Housing First project in Juneau says Glory Hole Executive Director Mariya Lovishchuk, who has taken the lead on its organization.
The City and Borough of Juneau Assembly's Committe of the Whole on Monday evening pledged to support the supportive housing project with $1.5 million, a key piece to moving the project forward.
"This is the first time we have had this many people come together on this project," Mayor Merrill Sanford told committee members. "I'm actually impressed they are only asking for $1.5 million."
Trying to characterize a year's events in a few words is as impossible as trying to describe typical weather in Juneau, especially this year. Luckily, this isn't a tweet.
Fresh in our minds is the historic inauguration of Gov. Bill Walker and Lieutenant Gov. Byron Mallott, Alaska's first independent "Unity Ticket." They're also the first Alaska-born pairing for the executive roles. Whatever your politics, it's nice to see someone with roots in Yakutat and Juneau occupying one of the state's top jobs.
Chieftain Metals Corp., the company attempting to reopen the Tulsequah Chief Mine, has taken a financial hit.
Colorado-based Royal Gold provided Chieftain with a $10 million advance in December 2011 but has backed out of the agreement and requested repayment in full. Chieftain announced Dec. 23 that it will use an $18.5 million bridge loan from West Face Capital, announced in July, to repay it.
In the July announcement, it was said that $7.5 million of the loan would be used to update the company's 2012 Tulsequah Mine feasibility study.
Over the decade from 2003 through 2012, 2,327 violent deaths were identified in Alaska. Since 2003, the State of Alaska has collected data on violent deaths — including intentional self-harm or harm to another, legal intervention, unintentional firearm deaths and deaths from an undetermined cause — through the Alaska Violent Death Reporting System.
For those experiencing homelessness, the Glory Hole is home. But patrons who rely on the downtown shelter have been displaced since a disastrous flooding incident earlier month when a frozen pipe ruptured. The shelter's executive director, Mariya Lovishchuk, is hopeful they'll be able to move back in by early January.
"I talked to Chad (Strong) at North Pacific (Erectors) this morning. He is pretty optimistic," Lovishchuk said. "He thinks now we can move in on the third floor sometime the week of Jan. 5."
Alaskans living off the bounty of the sea is nothing new, but how one makes that living has reached far beyond the plate.
The Alaska Fisheries Development Foundation is organizing its 22nd annual Symphony of Seafood event and competition. This year, there is a new category: Beyond the Plate.
"The overall goal is to increase the value of the seafood resource coming out of Alaska," AFDF Executive Director Julie Decker said. "We're attempting to do that by encouraging value-added products."
There's a lot that must happen between passing a law and passing Alaska's first legal marijuana joint.
A lawyer's relationship with marijuana will likely change with the passage of Ballot Measure 2 by voters in November, which as of Feb. 24 legalizes the use of marijuana with commercial sale to follow once a regulatory system is in place.
That means for attorneys like Juneau's Kevin Higgins, the legal landscape is changing.
Sinister signs stuck to an Aurora Harbor bulletin board threaten dogs with D-Con-laced treats. Though no ill or injured animals have been reported, Harbormaster David Borg said he's taking the threats very seriously.
D-Con is the name brand of a popular rodent poison. Most D-Con products use difethialone or brodifacoum as their active agent. In dogs as well as rodents, these poisons act as anticoagulants, causing spontaneous and uncontrolled bleeding that results in death, according to the Merck veterinary manual.

I think I need a long bath.
Thanks for brightening my day man. Jesus!
Humans are so awesome, aren't we?
this would be a nice snark, but i _just_ left this website: http://faculty.ucmerced.edu/smalloy/atomic_tragedy/photos.html
it's not so funny now.
It's not the XML parser that's evil, it's XML itself.
And 92 is the atomic number of Uranium, not the atomic mass. Geez!
I think you meant lead (82) not iron. Uranium, and pretty much all the other elements above lead decay to lead eventually.
By 1910, 40 radioactive elements had been isolated that were associated with the process by which uranium metal decayed to lead-
So all the elements bigger than lead DO want to be lead, but lead, and all the elements below it, just want to be themselves.
Ack, w7ngman. You're correct (about both XML and the atomic mass/number.) Fixed (to atomic number.)
I knew it, but didn't write it.
This is a common misconception. Lead is indeed the stable element at the bottom of many fission decay chains. But Iron is the element with the highest nuclear binding energy.
You can worry all you want about aluminum tubes and alleged attempts to build centrifuges to develop weapons-grade nuclear fuel, it's the thousands of so-called "theater" nukes designed to protect (or invade - depending who had em) Western Europe that keep me up at night.
All it takes is one or two of those in a container at the Port of Seattle, and every one of us will have a day that gets much, much brighter, and then very very dark, indeed....
#8 I appreciate these follow-ups. I thought it was lead too.
I just read that link... I'd love to go walk on a dead, iron star. I'm guessing I'd get smushed on the surface though.
The Ivy Mike was true insanity. It was as large as an aircraft hangar. Yes, one bomb. The resulting explosion literally wiped the island it was built on (Elugelab Island in the Enewetak Atoll) off the face of the earth.
Oh god. Am I the only one who thinks there's about a zero chance we won't see one of these used to kill in our lifetimes?
How about a short follow-up on how hard it would be for a terrrist to make one of these?
This afternoon, I just heard a scientific talk about diverting asteroids on a collision course with the earth with nuclear weapons. The best case would be to push on it enough so that after a couple of orbits it would miss. But if you had to and it far enough out such that most of the debris would miss, you can just blow it up with a ~10 Mt bomb.
But no, you don't need Bruce Willis to go drill a hole.
You're totally right, of course. In November, I slogged that very point--that nuclear weapons are more a demonstration of industrial prowess than an actual weapon.
I still believe the only people to be irradiated by, say, an Iranian bomb will be the Iranians manufacturing the damn things.
And I'll restate another point: Biological weapons remain the most promising technology for a suicidal terrorist group.
Hey, Jon, since I'm drunk and you're not, help me out here: somewhere, somewhen back before you were born, I seem to remember reading that the basis of a supernova was an iron-fusion reaction. Am I remembering this correctly, or just drunk?
Regardless, at least give me some credit for not making any bad jokes about ferrous wheels.
Ameeeerica, Fuck Yeah! Coming up to here to save the motherfucking day, yeah
Fifty Two Eighty:
You are correct. At high enough temperature and pressure, any nucleus lower than iron will combine to make iron and give off energy (after that, they will still combine, but will lose energy). After exhausting hydrogen fuel, a big enough star will then burn its helium, then go up through boron, carbon, oxygen, neon, etc. until it either blows itself apart (switching fuels isn't easy, as the star collapses until the necessary pressure / temperature is reached, blowing of a fair amount of material in the process), or just doesn't get hot enough.
In the end, after saving itself by burning everything, it's left with iron combining into heavier elements and soaking up energy.
One common alternative is when a star gets almost to the iron-burning stage, but not quite. If it then arranges to pick up material slowly (as from an orbiting companion star), it will eventually go over the mass limit, and start making iron, blowing up in the process. This is a type II supernova. We can occasionally see these puppies blow up, and then watch them cool off / lose brightness. The nifty thing is, the way they lose brightness confirms that the end result is iron. The half life of the brightness is the same as the half life of an isotope as it decays to iron (don't have the source for which it is, sorry).
It all works out, and it's nifty.
(MS., astrophysics, many years ago)
Thank you, Jon.
You don't like Castle Bravo? The largest above-ground US nuclear test! The origin of the concept of the 'unexpected fission surplus'.... rather than use a lead tamper around the 'sparkplug', they used U-238. The neutron flux from the fusion reacton caused the U-238 to (AFAIK) turn into Pu239 then quickly fission. (this is what I recall; I may be slightly off) It ended up bigger, and way more fallout-y than anyone expected.
Any list that omits the W88 is immediately suspect.
What about the Death Star???
You missed the point of the neutron bomb - not so much to leave the cities and whatnot, but that for a "regular" bomb at a decent distance a buttoned up tank (and the crew inside it) won't be all that effected by the concussive overpressure of the blast.
Sure the crew dies of radiation poisoning eventually, but that might take weeks. And by then the 37th Guards Motor Infantry are doing wheelies in Paris.
But the neutron bomb gives off a whole lot MORE radiation, so that the crew gets cooked inside their can. The tank (and as a handy side result, city) gets hit by less of a blast, but that wouldn't have destroyed it in the first place.
I'll grant you, Ivy Mike was impressive as a demonstration of the tech, but from a deployment standpoint the Mk-41 might be a better fit for that slot.
At 25 Mt yield, it was the largest production model thermonuclear device ever put into service, as well as being the only 3 stage TN device ever deployed by the U.S.
Plus, we built a shit-ton of 'em, around 500 all-told, and they also probably stayed in active stockpile longer that just about any other nuclear warhead or bomb built.
Re. neutron bombs vs. modern armour: Nowadays the M-1 Abrams tank uses slabs of depleted uranium in its armour plating. The stuff is superdense and works great against kinetic projectiles and such, but secondary cascade neutron reactions mean that the crew of an M-1 is vulnerable to neutron weapons at about twice the distance of the crew of a tank without DPU armour.
Hurray for the double-edged sword of technology!

From Our Editors
Art is in Jojo Geronimo's blood. Her father was an illustrator, and her maternal uncles and two brothers work as comic artists and animators. Though she shares their artistic proclivity, she followed her passion for design in a somewhat different direction, working as a portrait and mural painter, a director in international advertising, and eventually, a tattoo artist. Armed with her artistic talent and Red Cross blood-borne pathogens safety training, she tattoos clients to their specifications with predesigned and customized body art.
As a certified intradermal cosmetics specialist, she also applies permanent eyebrow makeup, eyeliner, and lip liner. Though she gives clients her input during each session, she leaves them in complete control of the process and the final results. And Jojo still applies her talent to canvas, creating commissioned oil portraits and landscape paintings.

Yesterday after returning home from work I discovered my hot water is not working. When you turn on the faucet (any in the house) just a little warm water comes out and then it turns cold. I checked the fusebox. It was not tripped. I'm going to buy a multimeter today to test the fusebox. Please, any help or suggestions as to what I should do???
Sounds like the first bit of lukewarm water is just what is in the plumbing. It's warmed up by the air in your home as it sits there. The cold water after is what's sitting in the hot water heater.
With that in mind, it looks like your hot water heater is not working at all.

We're looking for your ideas for Minister Leo Varadker on growing tourism in Ireland. Brenda gets an update from the Mooney Show wedding couple and 15 years to the day from when they officially formed, we get the lowdown on life for some of those who missed out on a career in Westlife
This year we have seen the Government's Gathering initiative unfold. The good news is that figures are up – by over 6 per cent in the first 5 months of 2013 compared to the same period last year. That translates as 2 and a half MILLION visits to this little island so far this year.
So is it the case that The "Gathering" is gathering momentum?
Two years ago, and only a month in office, Dr. Leo Varadkar, Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, came into this very studio and responded to your calls and emails about what needed to be done to get this country's tourism back up and running…
And he has come back in today to take more of your ideas from you… and to tell us about how his whether his ambitions for the Tourism Sector while he is in office are on target!!!
Brenda gets an update from the Mooney Show wedding couple
They became the biggest boyband in the world – Westlife of course. It all started for the 5 boys on this day 15 years ago and the hits like Unbreakable, Flying Without Wings and Uptown Girl just kept coming, one after another.
But if we rewind just a little earlier a boyband called I.O.You with a song called Together Forever Girl.
The man who actually owns that song is Aidan Mannion, who runs The Record Room, a music store in Sligo.
Aidan tells Derek the story of how I.O.You became Westlife

SuperStar Consultant
See that cute little boy in my profile picture? That's Samson, and he's the #1 reason I do this! When he was born in December 2008, I returned to work full-time after a short maternity leave. Leaving Samson with the babysitter every day was one of the hardest things I've ever done, so my husband and I resolved to find a better solution together. Around that time, a friend introduced me to Scentsy. She is a very successful consultant and told me about the amazing opportunity that Scentsy offers. I admit that I was skeptical at first - I mean, I'm not a salesperson at all! But the more I tried the products and researched the company, the more excited I got. I talked it over with my husband and we decided to give it a try. Fast forward a year, and I will tell you that joining Scentsy was one of the best things I have ever done. It has allowed me to quit my full-time job and stay at home with my baby son. It has afforded me opportunities I never dreamed of. The best part is, I genuinely love this product! I know you will too. The high quality and exceptional value of Scentsy products far surpasses all other similar products. If you have any questions about purchasing the products or joining my team, please feel free to email or call. Thank you for visiting my site and I hope to see you again soon.See More

I tell my friends I'm worried to death about this baby....
I keep getting outraged by their comments. They have no idea what I'm feeling or what I'm thinking!!! Like I can just get over losing my baby?! Which was 9 months ago. I'm still not over it!!
Better to have loved than never loved at all?! Are you serious!?!?!? I'm so pissed.
I am so mad!!!
I tell my friends I'm worried to death about this baby....
(((hugehugs))) I'm sorry I think a lot of people just don't get it until they have been there. You'll never just "get over it". The loss of that child is part of who you are. It's impossible to forget that experience and go through a new pregnancy without having those memories affect you. I hope next Monday comes quickly and that seeing your baby's little h/b will help take away some of the anxiety and worry you are feeling.
Thank u. I just can't stop crying.
Awww...I'm sorry Star. I'm sure your friends aren't trying to hurt your feelings or make you mad. I bet they just don't know what to say. Like Lynn said, unless you've personally suffered through a loss, you just don't "get" it. Even people that have gone through a loss sometimes just won't know what to say. I'm really truly sorry about your loss. I hope you are feeling better today.
I agree with the other gals. I'm sure that your friends aren't intentionally trying to hurt you or minimize the way you feel, they just don't really get it because they've never been through it. I'm sorry that you were feeling so badly though. Are you feeling better today?
Omg. I hate the "better to have loved and lost than never loved at all". Uh, no thanks! I'd rather never to have loved and then I would have never felt the disappointment and hurt that comes with losing. I agree with Alissa, Lynn and Jina. They probably aren't intentionally being hateful, but it's hard to really know what you're going through unless you've been there yourself. I hope you're feeling better. Crying and anger are completely normal for me and have been for weeks, so don't feel bad!
Yeah I feel better... But I wish they would stop trying to understand. They have no idea.

LEGHORN, Italy (AP) - An explosion Saturday aboard a tanker carrying flammable methyl alcohol injured nine people, port officials said.
The Liberian-flagged tanker Cape Horn was docking at the northwestern Italian city of Leghorn when a small fire broke out, according to the port captain's office. A tug was then ordered to take the ship out to sea as a precaution. During the tow, one of the tanks aboard the ship exploded about 1.5 miles offshore, the port officials said.
Six crew members from the ship and the captain and two crew members aboard the tug were injured, none of them seriously.

Ambani Tops India's Rich as Billionaires' List Swells
Mukesh Ambani held his ranking as India's richest person with net worth of $27 billion as the nation's economic expansion and a stock market rally created a record number of billionaires, Forbes India said.
Arcelor Mittal Chairman Lakshmi Mittal was second richest with $26.1 billion this year, while Wipro Ltd. Chairman Azim Premji ranked third with net worth of $17.6 billion, the magazine said in an e-mailed statement today. Brothers Shashi and Ravi Ruia, whose Essar Group has interests in oil refining, steel and power generation, climbed one level to fourth position with a combined wealth of $15 billion.
An increasing number of wealthy Indians may attract Bill Gates to the South Asian nation to seek pledges of donations for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Rising disposable incomes and consumer demand may this year drive expansion in Asia's fastest growing major economy after China to the quickest annual pace since 2008.
"We may do an event in India," Gates, the chairman of Microsoft Corp., said today at a philanthropy event in Beijing.
Record Wealth
The Indian billionaires list comprised 69 people, up from 52 last year. The combined net worth of the nation's 100 wealthiest people climbed to an all-time high of $300 billion this year, equivalent to a quarter of the country's gross domestic product, the magazine's statement said.
A 50 percent surge in foreign funds into equities so far this year helped drive the Bombay Stock Exchange's Sensitive Index to its highest level in 2 1/2 years this month. More than 72 of the top 100 ranked people saw their wealth increase in the past year, the Forbes statement said.
Savitri Jindal, chairman of Jindal Steel & Power Ltd., was fifth richest with net worth of $14.4 billion. Kalantihi Maran, owner of discount carrier Spicejet Ltd. and founder of Sun Network Ltd., made it into the top 20 this year with his net worth rising 74 percent. He ranked 17 with $4 billion, according to the magazine.
Still, Anil Ambani, who owns the Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group with telecom, financial services and power businesses, saw his wealth shrink 24 percent, the biggest reduction, to $13.3 billion, putting him at sixth place. Brother Mukesh's wealth dropped by 15 percent as lower refining margins and stagnant gas production from the nation's biggest field led to a decline in Reliance Industries Ltd. share price.
The brothers, who split the family empire in 2005, in May this year by scrapping agreements that had fueled a feud between them.

it can strike at any time. and once you feel it coming, it's almost too late. or is it? introducing new, fast acting advil. it's built for speed. with an ultra-thin coating and fast absorbing advil ion core™ technology, nothing works faster to stop pain in its tracks before it gets worse. new fast acting advil. look for it in the white box.
1:32 am
cause. >> jon: that's our show. here it is your moment of zen. >> he only had one summer the
1:33 am
phillies. there's goes a couple of plows demonstrating what i -- ready to go. captioning sponsored by comedy central captioned by media access group at wgbh access.wgbh.org (cheers and applause) >> stephen: welcome to the report, good to have i with us. whooo! folks, thank you so much. >> stephen, stephen, stephen! stephen, stephen, stephen! stephen, stephen, stephen!
1:34 am
>> stephen: thank you, ladies and gentlemen. (cheers and applause) thank you so much. folks, thank you for being here tonight. i don't know about you. sometimes it feel-- i pite be the only one-- but folks, i am still glowing from the oscars. it was a magical evening which might still be going on. it was pretty long. (laughter) personally, i love oscar night because it gynes-- combines my two favorite things, competition and formal wear. that's why i also love ice dancing and the ufc's tangling tuxedos. so pain deserving winners last night. but of course the biggest winner of the evening was slavery. >> and the oscar goes to "12
1:35 am
years a slave". >> i would like to thank the academy, thank you so much. i dedicate this award to all the people who have endured slavery. >> stephen: yes, this is a vicry for all those who endured slavery. send the resounding message for us. we're even now. okay? (laughter) because while it was bad, it was bad, okay t was bad and we did it, but slavery beat the things america loves most. astronauts, tom hanks and jonah hill yanking it. (laughter) and since the terrible evil of slavery resulted in a best picture oscar, that means ultimately, slavery has a happy ending. (laughter) just like the draj dee of the titanic. if those people had lived to hear celine dion sing that song, i'm sure they gladly
1:36 am
would drowned themselves. folks, it wasn't just slavery t wasn't just slavery that got its long overdue recognition so, did matthew mcconneghey. he took home best actor for his role in dallas buyers club and i have been a mcconnaehead photographer forever. he is only subject whoever has been honored with two word segments on the report. sorry, afghanistan, try doing some more crunches. so folks, it's not just me who is inspired by matthew mcconneghey so, is matthew mcconneghey. >> when i was 15 years old hi a very important person in my life said who is your hero. i said i have to think, give me a couple weeks, i come back, he said who is your hero. i thought about it, it's me in ten years. so i turned 25. ten years later. that same person comes to me and says are you a hero. and i was like not even close. no, no, no. she said why i said because pie hero is me at 35. so every day, every week,
1:37 am
every month and every year of my life, my hero is always ten years away. >> stephen: only matthew mcconneghey has the humility to admit that however great he seems now, he's only getting better. (laughter) jk living, my friend. nation, check your calendars, we're only 250 days away from the midterm elections which are going be a referendum on at fordable care act also known as obamacare. this is going to be great for republicans because we've all horde about the lives the affordable care act has ruined. like the story of republican den mother kathy mcmorris rogers told during her response to the state of the union. >> i not long ago i got a letter from bette in spokane who had hoped the 39's health care law would save her money. but found out instead her premiums were going up nearly $700 a month. >> stephen: $700 a month. at that rate bette in
1:38 am
spokane is never going to be able to afford that last name transplant. and when the spokane spokesman review tracked bette down, the paper revealed that bette refused to look for a less expensive option because, quote, i wouldn't go on the obama web site at all. there's another flaw of the obamacare web site. you have to go on it to use it. (laughter) that's how they get you. (applause) now folks, poor bette is not alone. in fact so, many obamacare horror stories have been debunked at this point that the los angeles times speculated that maybe there are no genuine obamacare horror stories. yeah, or maybe there were until the death panels got them. now luckily, americans for prosperity has a new anti-obamacare aad with heart-wrenching personal stories.
1:39 am
>> dear mrs. kelly, your family plan is no longer available under the affordable care act. >> dear miss davis, question no longer offer you the same policy. the doctor is no longer in the network due to the affordable care act. >> due to the affordable care ago your montly premium has increased. >> stephen: folks, i wish these stories weren't true. and msnbc is trying to grant my wish. >> they're really trying to show you, real images of real people losing their insurance. just one problem. all these people you see in the ads, are paid actors. they're just pretending to be victims. >> stephen: and al sharpton should know because he's just pretending to be a journalist. (laughter) >> stephen: okay. okay. so those are actors and those letters they're reading are works of fiction. but as an american for prosperity spokesman told abc news, in contrast to the
1:40 am
story of a real voter, this ad is meant to be representative of americans from all walks of life. nass's right. the ad isn't based on anyone's real story. it's based on everyone's-- fake story. but just because a that ad uses ackers doesn't mean there aren't real people suffering because of obama care. an i found one, employees welcome actual louisiana resident chuck due prey, mr. due prey, thank you so much for joining us. (cheers and applause) >> mr. duprey, thank you so much for joining us. >> well, hello, stephen. as we like to say in nawlins,
1:41 am
salutations. >> stephen: thanks for being here. i have to ask you first, are you an actor? >> no, i have never-- i'm the average american joe who prefers to crack open a domestic beer and watch the nascars. (laughter) >> stephen: okay, he's not an actor. he's not an actor. he would have to tell me. that's the law. so what is it you do down there in louisiana. >> i'm a workman down on the job side which explains these hands good and gnarled like my daddies. >> stephen: that's a good back story. >> thank you. >> stephen: (laughter) chors plaus. >> stephen: sadly the brisk inviting salty air has struck me with a severe case of fisherman's foot for
1:42 am
which there is no cure. >> stephen: but chuck, surely you have insurance. >> i did, stephen, until recently. i should have known. coming home from the workplace my foot was throbbing which is a portent of ill news. peering into the post box i discovered a letter revealing that the terrible truth. my monthly payments once lower than a well digger's heel had suddenly risen up like the roadway which claimed the life of my brother jacob. it was his 8th birthday. was he the lucky one? and it's all because of the affordable care-- line! (applause)
1:43 am
>> line. i am trying, dammit! (cheers and applause) >> the affordable care act, yes, i've got it now. thank you. oh, boys, let me embrace you. before death embraces me. >> stephen: are these your sons. >> yes, sir. this is my son thomas and this is thomas's understudy thomas. (laughter) >> poppa, you look sick. >> what? your daddy's as strong as a bear. now you boys run along and you help your mother dig the hole. (laughter) as for me, stephen, my disease is advancing
1:44 am
rapidly. this is where i say farewell. >> stephen: no, chuck, no, are you in pain? >> the only thing that hearts me, stephen, is knowing america will be living with a health-care system based on state run insurance exchanges. re. (cheers and applause) >> stephen: chuck duprey, everybody. >> thank you. (cheers and applause)

up. a short word that's a tall order. up your game. up the ante. and if you stumble, you get back up. up isn't easy, and we ought to know. we're in the business of up. everyday delta flies a quarter of million people while investing billions improving everything from booking to baggage claim. we're raising the bar on flying and tomorrow we will up it yet again. >> thank you so much, welcome back. nation, if you check your calendars then you'll know that march is women's history month. and there is no greater example in how far women have come. the annual "sports illustrated" swimsuit issue.
1:47 am
swimsuit issue has long been a bastion of civil rights from the occasional black mod told that one girl who was under 5, 10. and this year they have achieved a new milestone. >> barby is posing for sports illustrate's 50th swimsuit issue. >> the magazine crafted a promo campaign around the iconic doll. >> inside the magazine top swimsuit models and barby dolls strike a pose. >> stephen: folks this is the perfect thing for any man whoever picked up a swimsuit issue and say i wish it would photture more things that remind me of my daughter. but sadly there are haters out there who want to crush barbie's malibu dreamhouse. >> a barbie doll doesn't have i place in a men's magazine. in a men's magazine that is dedicated to sexualizing women. >> having barbie, a little girl's toy on the front cover only says to further sexualization of giferls, further the-- of women. >> stephen: no, this is the
1:48 am
exact opposite of the object education of women strkts womenification of objects. but folks-- i don't have to sit here and defend barbie. because barbie can defend herself as she wrote with her tiny glued together fingers in a full page "new york times" ad, quote t is time to stop boxing in potential. be free to launch a career in a swimsuit, lead a company while gorgeous or wear pink to an interview at m.i.t. the reality of today is that girls can go anywhere and be anything. exactly. "sports illustrated" swimsuit issues are about achieving women's dreams, of being a desert explorer or an astronaut or hiding under the mattress of a 13-year-old boy. (cheers and applause) and folks, when it comes to dreams, not only does barbie have "sports illustrated" back, sports illustrate's got hers. >> inside did not respond to
1:49 am
our request for comment but in their press release said swimsuit has delivered a message of empowerment, strength and bultee. >> stephen: yes, empowerment. because there's nothing more empowering to a model than being replaced by a piece of plastic. and barby is a great role model for models. >> in some ways the perfect model. she doesn't blink s she doesn't move. she takes direction, takes instructions. (laughter) >> stephen: yes, she doesn't blink, she doesn't move. she's too busy being empowered to talk. and folks,-- (applause) >> stephen: and folks, to prove that the "sports illustrated" swimsuit cover is not about unrealistic body image or sexualization of children's toys, i am calling on sports illustrated to make next year's cover model mrs. potato head. (cheers and applause)
1:50 am
because he is the perfect model. you can change your features without plastic surgery. you can put her eyes on top of her head. you can put her nose where her ears are. and talk about silent f she gives you any lip, you can remove her lip. and if there's any part of her the photographer doesn't like, you can just put it right up her butt. we'll be right back. ♪ ♪ switch to t-mobile we'll pay your family's early termination fees

>> yes. >> stephen: and that's just bonding. is it because you're a woman and you don't understand the way men-- i'm just saying, no, no. i mean sororities are good too. were you in a sorority. >> i was actually a founding member of a sorority so i'm not entirely opposed to the greek life. >> stephen: no you're part of the problem, evidently. >> stephen: okay. >> i thought it was time to become a business of a solution so i thought it was time to shine a bit of a bright light into the negative sides of fraternity life. >> stephen: i have my researchers look into this, 85% of all supreme court justices since 1910 have been frat members. >> yes. >> stephen: 85% of fortune 500 executives are frat members. >> that's right. >> stephen: so it must be good guys. because-- (laughter) i mean you know what they say, nice guys become the heads of fortune 500 companies. >> yes, well there are men who are extremely admirable who belonged to fraternities with is a great history of leadership and promoting business and politics and the law, but there are
1:56 am
certain sort of traditions within fraternities that are aligned with a bad instinct. >> stephen: okay, bum me out, bum me out. come on. >> okay there is a violent hazing which has really scarred and injured many young men over the course of many decades. >> stephen: but it's done with love, okay. those are my bros. >> right. i understand. >> stephen: my bros. we didn't have fraternities who would i call brosef or broham. >> that's true. i'm sorry. >> stephen: what am i doing. dow want a beer? (cheers and applause) >> thank you, yes. >> stephen: thank you very much, it's all foam, i'm sorry about that. uh-huh. >> see you could do a keg stand now and show that-- (cheers and applause) >> stephen: or, or you could. >> well-- i was in a sorority after all but my
1:57 am
son is here tonight so i won't go that far. >> stephen: okay. (cheers and applause) cuss that take you back. >> it's horrible. >> stephen: does that take back. >> never a beer drinker. but anything for the show. >> stephen: did you-- where did you go to college. >> university of virginia. >> stephen: you va, that has a serious frat system there i spent a lot of time in the phi cap house. >> okay, upstairs. >> stephen: sure, upstairs, downstairs, everywhere in that house, right there on that rugby field. >> the quad. did you ever spend any time down there. >> well, you know, it's interesting when i was an undergraduate i was explicitly told even by the administration at uva to never go upstairs in a fraternity house unless i had sober companions with me because there was so much rape in the fraternity houses and that is something that hasn't changed over the year there is still sexual assault. not all fraternitis. >> stephen: i know, now are you playing the sexual
1:58 am
assault card. >> and now i lose. i think you have-- i think you've had enough of that. (applause) >> stephen: so i mean how widespread is the dark power of frat? is there a redeeming factor to them? >> well, there certainly is. if you are in a good from attorney wit tremendous leadership training, mentoring it, they do millions of hours of community service. millions of dollars for worthy causes so when fraternities are done in a good way, if they're alcohol problem is not bad, they're wonderful organizations. but they can be extremely dangerous age even devastating to the young people who party there. >> stephen: do you think anything will be done to tone down the party culture of frats? because you know, that's what people join frats for, isn't it? it's like ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ drink blooep drink

Food Journals Help Dieters Lose Weight, Study Shows
July 13, 2012 -- If you want to lose weight, you need to eat less -- and if you want to eat less, it helps to write it down.
When researchers studied the eating behaviors of female dieters they found that two of the most important tools linked to successful weight loss were a pen and notebook.
Women who kept food journals and consistently wrote down the foods they ate lost more weight than women who didn't.
Skipping meals and eating out frequently, especially at lunch, led to less weight loss.
Researcher Anne McTiernan, MD, PhD, says based on the study results, the number one piece of advice someone should follow if they want to lose weight is, "Keep a food journal."
"It's about accountability, knowing what you're eating and how much, and how that all adds up compared with your calorie goal for losing weight," she tells WebMD.
The study appears in the latest issue of the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
Journal Keepers Lost More Weight
The study included 123 previously inactive, overweight, postmenopausal women in Seattle enrolled in a weight loss study.
Over the course of a year, the women followed a restricted-calorie diet with the goal of achieving a 10% reduction in weight in six months. Half the women were put on an exercise program and the other half were not.
All the participants were asked to record the foods they ate daily in seven-day diaries provided weekly by dietician counselors.
During the study, the women also completed a series of questionnaires designed to assess their individual eating-related behaviors and strategies to achieve weight loss.
At the end of the year, both the diet-alone and diet-and-exercise groups had lost an average of 10% of their starting weight.
Meal Skippers Lost Less
Among the specific findings:
- Women who consistently filled out the food journals lost about 6 pounds more than those who didn't.
- Those who skipped meals lost an average of 8 fewer pounds than those who didn't.
- Women who ate in restaurants at lunch at least once a week lost an average of 5 pounds less than those who ate out less.
"Eating out may be a barrier for making healthful dietary changes because it usually means less individual control over ingredients and cooking methods, as well as larger portion sizes," the researchers wrote.

Welcome to Veracruz City
Veracruz, like all great port cities, is an unholy mélange of grime, romance and melted-down cultures. Conceived in 1519, this is Mexico's oldest European-founded settlement, but, usurped by subsequent inland cities, it's neither its most historic, nor its most visually striking. Countless sackings by the French, Spanish and North Americans have siphoned off the prettiest buildings, leaving a motley patchwork of... Read More

Even with $60 rebate, not worth the hassles 11/26/2013
This review is from: Total Defense Premium Internet Security - 5 User
None that I can ascertain - $60 rebate (which wouldn't go through because it could not be registered)
1. As expected, uninstalled my current security system.
2. Crashed during first install
3. During second install it refused to be registered.
4. Uninstalled and attempted again without any protection.
5. Again refused to register.
6. After 3 calls and lengthy stays on hold, I just gave up.
7. Too late to return for a refund.
Other Thoughts:
Live and learn. A bargain is no bargain if it's more trouble than it's worth. I went back to my old security (which has been pretty trouble free for 4 years).
When I originally purchased this it was bundles (on another site) with a flash drive I wanted.
If I knew the rebate was from the security software, I never would have purchased. My bad for not reading all the details first.
This was NOT from NewEgg. I have not had these problems with NewEgg.

Hi everyone. I need to specify the innerHTML of an element but I've been having strange problems using innerHTML as well as Prototype's .update() function. Let's say I have this code:
alert(defaultcontent); //show the string of defaultcontent variable.
someelement.update(defaultcontent); //applies it to the element
alert(someelement.innerHTML); //shows the resulting content of the element
I've tried with several defaultcontent strings. With all of them the msg boxes show the same string as expected. This does well with both methods innerHTML and Prototype's update function. And it works in both IE and FF.
But I have a special string that brings me problems:
defaultcontent = '
City	State
';
I always get the first alert box with the string. But the second time it comes changed. Meaning that something happened when applying the HTML string to the element. The results I'm getting are:
in FF using innerHTML:
in FF using Prototype's update:
in IE using innerHTML:
+Unknown runtime error.
in IE using Prototype's update:
Error. Object does not support this property or method.
IE with innerHTML is getting closer to the expected result, but the runtime error is something unbearable. But it sounds strange to me that in FF, both methods remove all HTML tags.
What could be wrong??
