How To Feel Five Years Old Again
At some point, although I'm not sure exactly when, I stopped looking forward to my birthday – it had become just an annual reminder of getting older. But one of the presents I got for my birthday this year made up for being another year older.
It was a Bubble Thing: a kind of fabric loop suspended from a rod which could, so it said, make unbelievably huge bubbles. It was hard to tell who was most excited when I opened it: me or James. We couldn't wait to try it.
The first thing we had to do was make the bubble mixture. This meant using a bucket, which got James even more excited – he loves messing about with water. Then it was outside, to have a go. Waving the Bubble Thing around, I felt like a Ringmaster, trying to tame lions in front of an expectant audience at the circus. As I swung the loop, the bubbles billowed out behind it in one long kaleidoscope of colour so intense it was like being inside a rainbow. And they were huge.
Forget pots of bubbles or even bubble wands – these bubbles were ENORMOUS! We stared in wonder. James let out one, long "WOOOOOWWWWW!" The bubbles mutated as they floated on the breeze, turning from sausages into huge spheres and even dividing in two. James followed them round the garden, only bursting them just before they collided with something. Some were carried away down the street by the wind where they no doubt made passers-by gawp in amazement.
So, I learned that while I might no longer be able to light the final candle on my birthday cake before the first candle has burned out, there are some presents that can make me feel 5 years old again.
To make giant bubbles, you need the right mixture. GENTLY stir in 12 cups of water, 1 cup of Fairy washing-up liquid, 1 cup of cornflour and 2 tablespoons of baking powder (in that order). Don't skimp on the washing-up liquid – I baulked at using half a bottle of Fairy, but I can assure you it was absolutely worth it!

Cool! Have you any idea where it came from? My birthday is coming up and I REALLY want one too!
Wow! Absolutely awesome bubbles! There's something about bubbles that make people (young and old) smile and laugh and skip about, trying to burst them. I'm more likely to take a wee pot of bubbles with me to keep the girls amused than anything else. I am *definitely* going to try your bubble-mix recipe tomorrow - thank you very much for that!
No idea, but it's called a Klutz Bubble Thing and was £8.99 including the book. An interesting read or you could make your own massive bubble thing using a wire coathanger...
Thanks, Helen. I'll add it to my birthday list and of not, will give the coathangers a go!
...coathangers! Now there's an idea! Right, I'm off out into the garden to do exactly this, once Rose wakes from her nap. I'm more excited than the kids will be, I think! Thanks again for the ideas, ladies xx
By the way, be careful not to spill the mixture on the grass - our lawn has some patches looking a bit sorry for themselves!
WOW a homemade Bubble Mixture.... I'm off to make some NOW. The Lunn's adore bubbles! I love the bubble thing too.... def on my present list for next birthday :)

The Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility Praises Disney Guidelines on Food Advertising to Children
In Using Its Influence to Promote Responsible Nutrition, Media Company Shows Great Leadership
NEW YORK, NY/// June 20, 2012//Today, members of the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility applaud Disney's groundbreaking decision to set new standards for food and beverage advertising to children and families on Disney kid-oriented television and web channels. In an effort to limit calories and reduce saturated fat, sodium and sugar, Disney places its iconic children's brand behind other national efforts to provide healthier alternatives for children in the fight against childhood obesity. According to the company's press release on their corporate website, Roger A. Iger, the Chairman and CEO of the Walt Disney Company said, "We've taken steps across our company to support better choices for families, and now we're taking the next important step forward by setting new food advertising standards for kids. The emotional connection kids have to our characters and stories give us a unique opportunity to continue to inspire and encourage them to lead healthier lives." With the introduction of their healthy living initiative in 2006, Disney has been promoting healthier meals at its resorts and theme parks and through its licensing. The new standards for advertisers build on the healthy living nutrition guidelines the company established in 2006 which are in alignment with federal standards that promote increased consumption of fruits and vegetables along with reduced- calorie alternatives and healthier lifestyles for children and their families. All food and beverage advertisers will need to comply with the new standards by 2015 or they will be unable to purchase advertising space on any of the Disney kid-oriented networks. "As a global media company, Disney correctly recognizes their responsibility to their customer base", said Lauren Compere of Boston Common Asset Management, an ICCR member that engages the company on other issues of corporate social responsibility. "Young children are not always able to distinguish between the programs they're watching and commercials and, unfortunately, some food and beverage marketers take full advantage of this. Disney's decision to self-regulate by developing standards for advertisers on their networks is a powerful illustration of corporate social responsibility in action and they are to be commended." Said Nadira Narine, ICCR Program Director, Strategic Initiatives, "As shareholders in some of the world's largest food and beverage companies, ICCR members have been calling for healthier product offerings and increased oversight of marketing to children as part of our access to nutrition work. The risk of litigation from obesity-related illness should be enough of an impetus to begin tailoring product offerings towards healthier, more nutritious alternatives. But Disney's new advertising requirements provide additional incentive to both the food and beverage industries and the media industry to pay close attention to their messaging." Said Cathy Rowan of Trinity Health, "ICCR members have engaged the tobacco industry and publishers of violent video games and their retailers for many years on marketing to children, an issue we take very seriously. We are seeing increased scrutiny from industry regulators regarding false and misleading labeling and marketing claims, and there are even calls from local officials to impose bans on "supersized", high calorie food and beverage products in an effort to control our nation's obesity epidemic. We congratulate the Disney Company on this important, proactive initiative."

Williams Named to ACC Legends Class
Jan. 31, 2013 GREENSBORO, N.C. - Former Maryland head coach Gary Williams will be one of 13 members of the 2013 Atlantic Coast Conference Men's Basketball Legends Class, league commissioner John Swofford announced Thursday. Williams, who led the Terrapins to the 2002 National Championships and to 14 NCAA Tournament appearances in his 22 seasons at College Park, is one of two coaches in the class, joining former Wake Forest coach Carl Tracy. Also included on the team is a member of the ACC's 50th Anniversary basketball team, six former All-Americas, three former All-ACC selections, six former NBA Draft selections and four players who led their teams to five ACC Championships. Making up the rest of the class are: former ACC Commissioner Gene Corrigan; Boston College's Gerry Ward; Clemson's Terrell McIntyre; Duke's Trajan Langdon; Georgia Tech point guard Mark Price; Florida State's Tharon Mayes; Miami's Mike Wittman; North Carolina's Mike O'Koren; NC State's Dereck Whittenburg; Virginia's Travis Watson; and Virginia Tech's Ace Custis. They'll be honored at the 2013 ACC Tournament and ACC Legends Brunch in Greensboro on Saturday, March 16th. One of the most respected coaches in ACC history, Williams took over the Maryland program in 1990 and rebuilt the Terrapins into a national basketball powerhouse. In all, he won 461 games in 22 seasons at his alma mater, posting a 461-252 (.647) to become the winningest coach in Terrapin history. Known for his fiery coaching style, Williams led Maryland to 14 NCAA appearances, including two Final Four appearances. He was named National Coach of the Year after leading Maryland to the 2002 NCAA National Championship, the first ever for the school. He was twice named ACC Coach of the Year (2002, 2010) and led the Terps to the 2004 ACC Tournament Championship. A native of Collingswood, N.J., Williams played three seasons at Maryland (1964-67) as a point guard for Coach Bud Millikan and was named team captain in his senior season of 1967.
He graduated in 1968 with a degree in Marketing and spent three seasons as a high school coach before beginning his college coaching career as an assistant at Lafayette (1972-73) and Boston College (1973-78). He then served as a head coach at American University (1978-82), Boston College (1982-86) and Ohio State (1986-89) before taking over at Maryland. He has an overall coaching record of 668-380 (.637) for 33 seasons and ranks 34th on the NCAA's all-time wins list. In all, he led his teams to 17 NCAA Tournament appearances and 8 trips to the NIT. He finished his career ranked 3rd among all ACC coaches in total wins and ACC victories trailing only Duke's Mike Krzyzewski and North Carolina's Dean Smith.

NATO's immunity at stake over bombing of civilians in Libya, Bahraini man dies after regime forces fire toxic tear gas into his home, Palestinians shut down Israeli-only road in the West Bank, and more.

NATO's immunity at stake over bombing of civilians in Libya [Dubai TV, UAE]
Presenter, Male #1
The US Department of Defense and the State Department are expediting their efforts to help the Libyan government form a special force to combat those they described as "Islamist extremists" in Libya. The New York Times, which published the article, said the Obama administration secretly received approval from Congress last month to divert nearly eight million dollars from the Pentagon's operations, as well as provide aid appropriated for Pakistan to combat terrorism, to begin establishing a special Libyan force within the next six months that may reach about 500 people. The American special operations could begin a training session, as it did with anti-terrorism forces in Pakistan and Yemen.
Presenter, Male #1
He went out to help the victims in Libya, and when he returned home, he found that his wife and children were victims of one of NATO's raids. Khaled el-Hamedi is a Libyan who decided to sue NATO in the international court. The fifth session of the case will be held in Brussels tomorrow. He is supported by some of the most notable lawyers in the fields of war crimes and international criminal law, as well as human rights. Their demands include lifting the diplomatic immunity the Belgian government has granted NATO since the organization's headquarters are located in Brussels. Luay Ghabra has more details.
Reporter, Male #2
This Libyan decided to strike NATO in its own headquarters. It is not a military hit; it is a judicial and humanitarian one. NATO's missiles claimed the lives of 13 people from the plaintiff's family, and turned his home into rubble. This came as he was helping the displaced, as he is the founder of the International Organization for Peace, Care, and Relief in his country.
Guest, Male #3 (Khaled el-Hamedi, Plaintiff)
The longest hours of my life were during that night. I will never forget that day. It will never be erased from my memory.
Reporter, Male #2
What we're showing here are exclusive images. They are parts of a documentary that was produced by Khaled, and provided to the international court. He says these images contain proof for a conviction, considering that the victims of the shelling were children whose lives were taken. However, NATO asserted in front of the Belgian court that it only targeted military sites. In a recorded statement, which Khaled had taken to court as evidence, NATO admits that it made mistakes.
Guest, Male #4 (Commander Mike Bracken, NATO Spokesman)
From our initial assessment of the facts, it appears that one weapon did not strike the intended target due to a weapons system failure.
Reporter, Male #2
The case has been ongoing for over a year. A group of notable international lawyers took on the case. At the forefront is Nelson Mandela's lawyer.
Guest, Male #3
The positive part is that they accepted the case. This is a positive thing. But their delay in issuing a ruling is a bit scary. This also confirms the presence of external political pressure.
Reporter, Male #2
At the awaited fifth session, the Belgian judiciary will decide whether to lift NATO's political immunity in a country that provides NATO with its headquarters and podium. However, regardless of the decision, everyone reserves the right to an appeal.
Guest, Female #1
I have a request, only one request, for the judge. I wish that he would grant us justice, avenge us, and be fair.
Bahraini man dies after regime forces fire toxic tear gas into his home [Press TV, Iran]
A Bahraini man dies after inhaling poisonous tear gas fired by Saudi-backed regime forces. The elderly man, identified as Haj Mahdi Ali Marhun spent the past two months of his life in a hospital following complications that he suffered after regime forces fired tear gas into his house in Maameer Village. He is the 95th Bahraini to lose his life since the revolution began last year.
Gaza rocket hits Israel despite Tel Aviv's Iron Dome [Press TV, Iran]
Palestinians fire a rocket into Israel as Tel Aviv intensifies attacks on the Gaza Strip. Israeli forces say the rocket caused no injuries or damage. This came hours after an Israeli warplane pounded the northern Gaza Strip. At least five Palestinians have been killed and dozens injured, including children, in the conflict in the area in the past week.
Israeli opposition slams government plans to accept Levy report [IBA, Israel]
The Israeli opposition has slammed reported plans by the government to accept parts of the Levy Report on settlement construction. The report was authored by retired Supreme Court Justice Edmund Levy three months ago, and found that Israeli settlement in the West Bank is legal under international law, and recommended that the government stop demolishing illegal outposts. Defense Minister Ehud Barak warned that the government would be making a "big mistake" by causing diplomatic harm if it accepts Levy's recommendation to legalize the settlement outposts.
Shimon Peres welcomes new Jordanian, Egyptian ambassadors to Israel [IBA, Israel]
Two new ambassadors from Egypt and Jordan presented their credentials to Israeli President Shimon Peres at his official residence in Jerusalem. Incoming Egyptian Ambassador Atef Salem became Egypt's first ambassador sent to Israel by newly-elected Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi. Salem downplayed reports of tension between the two countries, and said that Cairo remains committed to all agreements with Jerusalem, including the 1979 peace treaty.
Jordan's new ambassador, Walid Obeidat, also arrived despite threats against him back home. Members of his own al-Obeidat Bedouin tribe vowed to disown him should he accept what they called the despicable position in Israel that contradicts the clan's viewpoints. The Muslim Brotherhood in Jordan also condemned Obeidat.
Palestinians shut down Israeli-only road in West Bank [Palestine TV, Ramallah]
Presenter, Male #1
Seven Palestinian citizens were wounded during the Israeli occupation forces' crackdown on a number of citizens and foreign solidarity activists who succeeded at shutting down the street known as Latrun Road, which has been closed since 2002, and runs along the villages west of Ramallah.
Reporter, Male #2
They are making their way towards a road that has been closed for Palestinians since 2002. Latrun Road connects occupied Jerusalem and the center of al-Salib. Traffic was shut down and, probably, this new kind of protest by the owners of stolen lands was inspired by their weekly marches, and by the settlers' attacks on those who pick olives. They stood in front of traffic and paralyzed it, as cars were unable to move. This way, drivers can know, even if for a few minutes, the feeling of those who are deprived of passing through this road to pick their source of livelihood.
Guest, Male #3 (Said Yaqin, Popular Committee Against the Wall)
This street is an apartheid street; it is a street exclusively for the Jews. This is a natural reaction to the settlers' aggression in the past month. We took this step to stop this artery that ties this occupied land to Jerusalem.
Reporter, Male #2
Dozens of citizens from the villages of Beit Liqya, Beit Tira, Khirbet al-Tira, Bel'ein and other villages located west of Ramallah, gathered in the morning and succeeded at entering through the gate and closing down the street. The citizens' right to the road was on display, as its flag rose without any action by its opponent. The protesters felt victory during these moments. Before the occupation's soldiers came, the protest had entirely paralyzed traffic on the road, causing major delays.
Guest, Male #4 (Abdallah Abu Rahma, Popular Committee Against the Wall)
We will conduct various demonstrations of this kind in several areas, and not just one place, against the judaization of Jerusalem and against the aggression and the shelling of our families in Gaza. We will mobilize as popular committees in many areas, and we will not stand with our hands tied behind our back, and we will continue to surprise this enemy that unleashed flocks of settlers to attack our farmers everywhere.
Reporter, Male #2
It only took 10 minutes to successfully shut it down, and then the occupation's soldiers arrived and beat everyone and fired sound bombs, despite the citizens' attempt to stay longer. However, sound bombs, tear gas, and other weapons forced them to retreat behind the gate, after several were injured, proving the protesters' new kind of boldness, which the marches of the popular struggle were not accustomed to.
Reporter, Male #2
Storming the street that Israelis call 443 is considered a big step, especially because of how important and vital this street is to Israelis. However, the citizens who have been deprived of entering it for 10 years wanted to prove their right to do so, and to show their ability to haunt those who influence Israeli policies and the policy of supporting settlements.
Reporter, Male #2
If you prevent us from entering our land, we will prevent your cars from traveling along the roads. This is the message of those who lost their lands and their olives, as conveyed by the weekly marches to the streets that Israeli cars pass through. From the road that links occupied Jerusalem, Ajwad Jaradat, Palestine TV.
Vatican to send delegation to Damascus as heavy fighting rages across Syria [New TV, Lebanon]
Presenter, Male #1
A mortar shell fired from Syria landed in southeast Turkey, causing no injuries, as reported by the MTV TV channel quoting the local authorities. The channel added the shell fell on a bank of the Asi River in Turkey's Hatay Province. Meanwhile, confrontations remain fierce, especially in Maarat al-Numaan, as a delegation from the Vatican gets ready to visit Syria next week.
Reporter, Female #1
Yet again, opposition gunmen downed a Syrian armed forces' helicopter. This time, it was near the city of Maarat al-Numaan in Idlib Province, in northwestern Syria, with the conflict reaching its peak in the village of Busaybeh. Meanwhile, the Anadolu news agency quoted the Free Syrian Army's political adviser, Bassam al-Dada, saying one of the two pilots captured by the opposition fighters after downing their fighter jet resembles Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
Reporter, Female #1
For its part, official Syrian TV reported that a unit of the armed forces eliminated an armed terrorist group in the western countryside of Ma'ar Lohtat. As for Aleppo, the town of Sha'ab was shelled while clashes continued in al-Ramouseh, and near the Kowriss Military Airport in the countryside of Aleppo. In a related development, the acting president of the Kurdistan Workers' Party, Murat Karayilan, speaking to the Swiss daily Le Temps, warned Turkey from the headquarters of the party in Iraq of violent revenge on its territories if it attacks Syrian-Kurds.
Reporter, Female #1
On a different note, France, through its Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius, accused the Syrian regime of using cluster bombs following his meeting with representatives of civil revolutionarily councils administering areas controlled by gunmen in northern Syria. Similar accusations were made by non-governmental organizations. These charges were categorically denied by the army's general leadership, and Syrian armed forces. As for the Syrian opposition members, after their meeting, they stressed on the need to protect these liberated border areas from air raids carried out by the Syrian regime.
Guest, Male #2 (Othman Bilawi, Head of Revolutionary Council in Maarat al-Numaan)
A long time ago, over a year ago when we were expecting the regime to shell the cities, we asked for a no-fly zone. Sadly, the Russian position is clear, and the Chinese position is also clear as they stand against the Syrian people. We asked, and we are still asking for a no-fly zone, but as we say, it's out of my hands.
Reporter, Female #1
The American newspaper Washington Post revealed the European governments, most notably the French and British governments, that were and remain the biggest supporters of the armed groups in Syria, are now feeling great concern over the possibility of catastrophic repercussions in their countries over this support. This was made evident through the British and French authorities' arrest of extremist Islamists attempting to join the fighters in Syria.
Reporter, Female #1
Also on the political front, Pope Benedict XVI decided to send a high-profile delegation on a mission to offer their views on a solution that can only be political, according to a Vatican spokesman. The spokesman indicated the delegation will bring aid collected by the bishops to the victims of the conflict.
Bin Laden driver's conviction overturned by US appeals court [BBC Arabic, UK]
Presenter, Male #1
A US federal court overturned the conviction of Salim Hamdan, who was the driver for former al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden, and was previously imprisoned in Guantanamo. They considered that providing material support for terrorism had not been deemed a war crime. Legal experts say the court opens the door for the acquittal of other prisoners in Guantanamo.
Reporter, Male #2
Osama Bin Laden's driver Salim Hamdan was imprisoned for seven years here in Guantanamo. And although he left the American prison in 2008, the controversy around his case has not ceased, especially after the appeals court in Washington overturned the decision to convict him. The court said that materially supporting terrorism was not categorized as a war crime when Hamdan was convicted, and that the law issued on this matter in 2006 does not apply retroactively. Experts predict that this verdict will have an impact on other convicts.
Guest, Male #3 (Wells Dixon, Senior Attorney at the Center for Constitutional Rights)
I think the Hamdan decision weakens the convictions directed at other convicts, especially conspiracy convictions. The defense that the court accepted in this case also applies to other prisoners.
Reporter, Male #2
Working with Osama Bin Laden was part of the evidence that was used against Salim Hamdan. He was arrested in Afghanistan in 2001. American authorities said that he was on his way to the battlefield at that time, while the defense attorneys said he was on his way back from participating in a humanitarian mission. The United States deported Hamdan to Yemen at the end of his sentence in late 2008, and local authorities released him in 2009. However, American law activists kept his case in court.

Kuwait hosts Asia Cooperation Dialogue summit [Al Jazeera, Qatar]
Presenter, Female #1
In Kuwait, the Asian Cooperation Dialogue conference was launched with the participation of 32 countries.
Presenter, Male #1
During the opening session, the Emir of Kuwait, Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmad al-Sabah, called for dialogue and peaceful means to resolve political problems.
Reporter, Male #2
Today, Asian countries are exploring ways to place their joint interests first, and resolve their political differences, which are impeding the wheel of development and prosperity in the world's largest and most populated continent. During the conference, speakers called for taking advantage of the resources available in the region, including energy, food, and human resources, in order to keep up with the wheel of development witnessed in Europe and America. They also called for dialogue as a means to resolve their differences, and for mutual respect, democracy, and freedom.
Guest, Male #2 (Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmad al-Sabah, the Emir of Kuwait)
From this podium, we call for the language of reason and dialogue to prevail, as well as to spare our countries damage and destruction, by respecting our charters, agreements, and conventions, and by resolving our differences in peaceful means, without interfering in the internal affairs of one another.
Reporter, Male #2
The Kingdom of Thailand, which coordinated the conference, exerted efforts to ensure the success of this conference, hoping to turn it into an international organization capable of achieving economic integration among the countries of the continent, by finding the appropriate solutions to political conflicts, and by empowering mankind, as well as combating the spread of poverty and underdevelopment in some countries.
Guest, Female #2 (Dr. Surapong Tovichakchaikul, Thai Foreign Minister)
Thailand is offering to establish a permanent secretariat for this gathering in order to assist in drawing recommendations. My country is willing to host the upcoming meeting in Bangkok.
Reporter, Male #2
The modest participation of China, Japan, Russia, South Korea, and India, which are leading countries in the continent, cast doubt on the success of the efforts toward establishing a joint entity, especially considering the political differences that continue to dominate their decisions despite the growing economic challenges facing the region.
Reporter, Male #2
An ideal opportunity awaits Asian countries to take a leadership position, especially amid the economic hardship facing America and Europe. This requires politicians to unify their positions, resolve their problems through peaceful means, refrain from denying or canceling each other out, as well as seek to assure their people and stabilize their homelands. Ahmed al-Huti, Al-Jazeera, Kuwait.
Pakistani girl shot by Taliban 'making progress' [BBC Arabic, UK]
Presenter, Male #1
Doctors in Britain are getting ready to operate on Malala Yousafzai, the schoolgirl who was shot by Pakistani Taliban last week. Malala's condition has been described as stable. Malala was airlifted to Britain for treatment after she was subjected to an assassination attempt at the hands of the Pakistani Taliban members, as revenge for her campaign to promote the right to education for girls in Pakistan. BBC notes that its crew in Pakistan has been subjected to threats from the Taliban movement because of its presentation of this case. It is watching the situation closely, and will take all measures to protect the crew.
Reporter, Male #2
The initial medical evaluation for Malala was completed at Queen Elizabeth Hospital. The main concern was that the long trip from Pakistan to England would lead to her relapse. However, doctors here in Birmingham said that Malala enjoyed a comfortable night.
Guest, Male #3 (Dr. Dave Rosser, Medical Director at Queen Elizabeth Hospital)
We have been completely satisfied with Malala's improvement. She is showing all the signs of the strength that we were told about.
Reporter, Male #2
On the other hand, protecting Malala has become an important matter, especially given some incidents that were reported overnight.
Guest, Male #3
I was told that a number of people visited the hospital, and claimed that they were Malala's relatives. We didn't believe them, and they were arrested.
Reporter, Male #2
The police deny arresting anyone, and said that those people had wanted reassurance about Malala's condition, and wanted to wish her a speedy recovery. Although Malala was not subjected to any threat due to these incidents, the security measures in and around the hospital make it very clear that the police are not taking any chances, and for very valid reasons. It's feared that the Pakistani Taliban may try to assassinate Malala once again. The movement has issued a statement in which it described Malala as a spy for the West. This means that even after Malala's full recovery, it will be dangerous for her to return to Pakistan.

Just read the news about Kevin. I am not only shocked but cannot comprehend the feelings of the family. Taking my two daughters to school this morning looking at their adoration makes me understand how precious life is. The rest is just stuff and nonsense. RIP Kevin and I hope you're family can recover from this terrible accident. My dad believed in fate (he died suddenly from Legionares) and so do I but it doesn't make it any easier. My thoughts are with you at this difficult time.
As sad as it is having reflected on what's happened would you have "Ashys" life or some old bachelors 100 years watching channel 4 racing? I'm with "Ashy" all the way... take care fella we'll all miss youre fantastic barb & wit!!

I feel for his beloved family at this time. Ashys column is the only part of MCN that I definately read every week, even if the subject could interest me no less he'd find a way to make me enjoy the words. Though I feel saddend that we will never read another of his outspoken, entertaining and articulate columns and views again there is a real comfort to know how much he loved and enjoyed his life, his family, his job, his motorcycling. If I can be such a contented man prior to my death I will ultimately count myself lucky.
Thankyou Kevin Ash. R.I.P

I am only a humble reader of Kevin's MSN column, but I'm certain I cannot be alone in feeling as if a friend has gone. His talent in communication led one to feel a personal affinity with the man, his views and his aims. All this may only be in my mind but nevertheless the feelings are true. May his family and friends learn to live with their loss.... only time heals, no other way I know of. Thankyou Kevin and rest peacefully.

Will miss your bit in mcn, always the first bit I read. I know its early, but any chance of a mcn book of his colloum?
I couldn't agree more... I enjoyed "Ashys" sometimes back handed compliments or attacks. For me he was a dyed in the wool biker of the old school who just loved anything with an engine.
He's not here but will always be remembered as the bloke who didn't give a stuff for political correct nonsense..
He's up there right now on an old school CR250 crosser enjoying himself I'm sure......

Just read the terrible news about Kevin Ash, what a shame wether you agreed or disagreed about his articles, you always knew he could stir up a hornet's nest.
I think he enjoyed doing it just to get folk going. He will be a terrible miss. Hope you can find someone as good to take over. My condolences go out to his family.
You know what they say only the good die young.
All the best Kevin.
Have just read MCN and the terrible news of Kev's fatal accident. Unlike all the contributors I never met him but always turned to his column first when opening my MCN and was always impressed by his knowledge and ability to convey even the most technical details in a clear and evocative way.
I will also miss him and felt I knew him. My heartfelt condolences to all his family and friends. RIP a good man, hard to replace.

Very sad news indeed and my condolences go out to Kevins family, friends and fellow journos.
I, like many others, loved to read Kevins views which were both funny and sometimes controversial but his column was the first I looked for every week.
One thing I would have loved to have seen would have been a head to head between him and Jeremy Clarkson!
RIP big man!!

Fill 'er up - with wood
So, instead of stopping at the corner gas station, Bates just walks into the woods behind his house and chops down the fuel he needs. And the burning branches smell like a campfire.
Using trees instead of gasoline for internal combustion isn't a new idea, but, as Jonathan Brown reports, it's gaining popularity--especially here in the woodsy North Country.
Bates and a couple of local mechanics are working under the hood of his '69 Chevy pick up. To run on wood, the truck's bed is filled with a Rube Goldberg system of pipes connecting a big barrel to what looks like a cylindrical wood stove.
"It's actually an old water heater."
So, the old hot-water heater is sitting in the middle of the bed. It's now the furnace where Bates throws the wood and lights it up.
"The fire burns, the engine vacuum draws the smoke out through the bottom, which is different than the way a fire normally burns. We do that to try to reduce the amount of tar that gets to the engine. Then the smoke goes through that pipe into the fence-like radiator over on the other side. That's a radiator? Yeah, that big thing is a radiator."
It looks like the big gates ranchers use on livestock pens. It's huge, and it needs to be. This is where the smoke from the furnace cools and condenses.
"It goes into that 55 gallon drum which is basically filled up with hay. It's a hay filter. And the smoke comes out this pipe here and goes underneath the truck and into the engine. And so the engine basically burns the smoke."
The smoke contains carbon monoxide and hydrogen. The engine in this pick up burns these gases to make energy. Put another way, this truck runs on emissions. It does emit some exhaust, but Bates says it's less than the amount coming out of a car using gasoline or diesel.
And, he's quick to point out that when he needs to fill 'er up, he can always cut down, and then plant, more trees—making his fuel renewable, unlike oil and gas. For these reasons, Bates insists his truck is simply greener than most of the vehicles now on the road.
"How much wood does it use? I mean, how many miles to the tree do you get? You get about… A pound of wood equals one mile. So, you have an armload of wood like this… weighs about 20 pounds? You go about 20 miles."
Bates took on this project as part of his doctoral thesis. He says it took him three years to get his truck running on wood. He'll get his Ph.D. soon from the SUNY forestry college in Syracuse. Bill Olsen has a slightly different perspective on these vehicles.
"It's not for everybody, that's for sure."
He lives in rural St Lawrence County and describes himself as a "backyard tinkerer."
"If you just want to get out of your house in the morning and turn the key and start the motor it's definitely not going to happen. But if you don't mind taking some extra time and fiddling with things to get it working right, it's definitely workable."
He's given presentations on alternate fuel vehicles. Bio-fuels, like ethanol, first drew him to the idea. But he says wood requires less work and he's hearing from more and more people interested in giving it a try.
"It just seemed easier to cut wood in the back yard than to grow crops to produce oil to then turn into a fuel. And we have a lot of woods around here, so it just seemed… seems perfect."
Olsen's already had some success making a wood-powered wood-chipper.
"Yeah, it produces fuel for itself and produces power. The extra energy it makes produces electricity. That you could use in your house, say. Exactly, yeah, for off-gridders. That kind of thing. Charging up battery banks."
He's now working on his own wood-fired truck that he plans to use for local trips. Both Olsen and Rick Bates say it's not expensive to make the change. Bates says it cost him about a hundred dollars to convert his '69 Chevy to wood power. And it can still run on gasoline. He can choose his fuel simply by flicking a switch under the dash.
On his test drive from Syracuse to Massena—more than 320 miles roundtrip—Bates says he used hundreds of pounds of wood and just a single gallon of gas. And, he says, it was a nice ride.
"It drives, actually, smoother than with gasoline but it doesn't have as much power."
A small concession, he says, for being able to drive past the gas pumps—and to drive a truck that always smells like a campfire.

Death On The Doorstep
RAYTHEON, the armament-technology firm which manufactured Patriot and Sidewinder missiles, is establishing a plant in Derry and the local politicians couldn t be happier. EAMONN McCANN reports.
Eamonn McCann, 15 Sep 1999
Two Nobel Peace Prize winners have spoken out about a proposal to manufacture war materials in Ireland.
I am delighted, John Hume told journalists on August 24th, referring to the news that US firm Raytheon is to establish a plant in Derry. The plant, which will eventually employ 150 people, will make missile-guidance and defence radar systems.
A significant and very positive development, added Mr. Hume s fellow peace laureat, David Trimble.
The two leaders were speaking at a function in Derry Guildhall, where Raytheon chief executive Daniel Burnham explained why the $20 billion company the fourth largest defence contractor in the US had selected Derry for its new plant. He mentioned the high-tech skills of the local workforce, the persuasive influence of Mr. Hume and Industrial Development Board officials, and, crucially, the prospect of political stability and peace.
It would have been unthinkable for us to have made this decision some years ago, in the depth of the Troubles, he said.
And, just as peace helped bring the plant to Derry, the 150 new jobs would, in turn, help make peace permanent: We have the opportunity to participate in Northern Ireland s economic development, thus promoting peace.
Among Raytheon s top-selling products are the Patriot anti-missile missile, which became well-known to television viewers during the 1991 Gulf War when it was deployed against incoming Iraqi Scuds; the Hawk and Stinger surface-to-air missiles; the Sidewinder and Phoenix air-to-air missiles; and the Maverick air-to-ground missile.
Raytheon has been one of the fastest-growing companies in the US in recent years, with a workforce of 118,000 following 1997 takeovers of Hughes Aircraft and Texas Instruments. More than 60% of its revenue, and a higher percent of its profits, comes from arms and arms-related sales. It is the leading Western manufacturer of missile-guidance systems.
The company has a controversial reputation in the US, where it has been accused of intimidating workers, price-rigging and fraud. In March 1990, US courts imposed a $10,000 criminal fine and $900,000 in civil penalties on Raytheon on a felony count of illegally obtaining secret Air Force documents which gave it an edge on competitiors bidding for contracts. US attorney Henry Hudson declared that the single 1983 incident which formed the basis of the prosecution had been merely the tip of a huge iceberg.
The following year, Raytheon used the supposed success of the Patriot against the Iraqi Scuds as a platform for an intensive sales drive in the Middle East. However, the House of Representatives Subcommittee on Legislation and National Security was later to declare: There is little evidence to prove that the Patriot hit more than a few Scud missiles launched by Iraq during the Gulf War, and there are some doubts even about these engagements. The public and the Congress were misled by definitive statements of success issued by the administration and Raytheon representatives.
However, Raytheon s close relations with the US defence establishment have continued to stand it in good stead. In March this year, Defence Secretary William Cohen announced that Egypt would be buying the latest and most advanced Patriot model, the Patriot 3, from Raytheon. The bulk of the $1.3 billion cost will come directly from the US tax-payer as aid . The money will be transferred directly from the US Treasury to Raytheon, once the missiles have been shipped to Egypt. (A high percentage of Western aid to developing countries takes this form.)
Previously, Raytheon had been able to capitalise on its contribution to the Gulf conflict by securing orders from Saudi Arabia, which had benefitted greatly from the disabling of Iraqi oil production in the war, and from the imposition of sanctions afterwards. In the two years following the war, the Saudi dictatorship added Sidewinder heat-seeking missiles, Maverick air-to-surface missiles and Sparrow radar-guided missiles to its arsenal all Raytheon products.
Last April, Raytheon announced that it expected increased orders for missiles then being proved in the Kosovo conflict.
We are restricted in what we can say about activity in Yugoslavia, chief executive Burnham told a conference of arms manufacturers, but perhaps you have read that the Department of Defence has submitted a supplemental request for congressional approval . . . As an example, the Navy has requested about $113 million to accelerate the remanufacture of 324 Tomahawks.
According to J. Whitfield Larrabee, whose radical Massachusetts-based legal practice acts as a watchdog on corporate crime and commercial abuse, Raytheon, to an unusual extent, is driven not just by a thirst for profits but by belief in right-wing ideas, zealously promoting what used to be called Reaganomics . On a number of occasions in the mid- 90s the company assembled its workers, plant by plant, to view videos extolling the proposal for a North America Free Trade Agreement. It campaigns for tax breaks for big business and against State regulation, and contributes massively to politicians who espouse the same views.
Larrabee claims the company coerced a #21 million tax cut from Massachusetts in 1995 by threatening to move its operations elsewhere then, six months later, slashed its Massachusetts workforce by 4,400 anyway. He also details a case from October 1994 in which Raytheon quietly paid a penalty of $4 million for having fraudulently overcharged the US Department of Defence for an anti-missile radar system called PAVEPAWS. (Clearly, this misdemeanour wasn t enough to make the high-spending company non grata with top defence officials.)
Also in October 1994, Raytheon sacked 870 employees at two aircraft factories in England which it had bought from British Aerospace, despite the fact that, following the takeover, in a desperate effort to meet the company s requirements for keeping their jobs, the workers had cut overheads by 25% and raised productivity by more than 30%.
The British Labour Party, then in opposition, denounced the move: Eight hundred skilled workers are to be thrown on the dole despite a promise that their jobs were safe for many years to come.
Now in Government, British Labour was represented at the Derry ceremony by NIO minister George Howarth who joined Mr. Hume and Mr. Trimble in praising Raytheon as just the type of hi-tech investor areas like Derry need to attract.
Raytheon has customers all over the world, Howarth told the gathering, and is one of the phenomenal success stories of industry. As a company, Raytheon set themselves the highest standards. I am pleased to see that Northern Ireland, and Derry in particular, have met these standards.
The SDLP Mayor of Derry, Pat Ramsey, hit the same note, seemingly pleased that Raytheon had considered Derry worthy of contributing to the company s phenomenal success. Having Raytheon here will show other companies that Derry can support the leading high-tech companies.
Mr. Hume made clear what he believed Derry s posture should be: The city owes a debt of gratitude to Raytheon.
Those who had planned the press conference were unfortunate in their timing. The news of the new plant was swamped by a spate of stories about the crisis in the peace process Mo Mowlam s response to the IRA killing of Charles Bennett, the leak of the Patten proposals on the police etc. The company scarcely figured in journalists questions to Mr. Hume, Mr. Trimble and Mr. Howarth.
Said Mr. Hume, seated alongside Mr. Burnham: The atmosphere on our streets has been transformed by the ceasefires. The peace is very obvious . . . In recent times there has been a lot of confusion, but we ought not to be looking at the negative aspects. Let s look on the positive and do all in our power to promote peace.
Mr. Trimble said: There cannot be a licence to kill. The government cannot turn a blind eye to such wrong-doing . . . Are (the Republicans) genuinely committed to exclusively peaceful means, or are they just stringing the community along by retaining the capacity to inflict violence? These matters must be addressed seriously. n

DOHA: South African rider Anthony Raynard yesterday won the second race of 2013 Losail MX Championship round 2 at Losail MX Track.
The Yamaha rider crossed the finish line 36.830secs ahead of round 1 winner Dennis Stapleton of the US.
Stapleton, who won race 1 of the second round on Friday, led the race in the first two laps but gave way to Raynard in the third.
The South African rider maintained his position and crossed the finish line ahead of 30 other riders. A total of eight riders registered for the race but did not start. The third rider to cross the line was Livia Lancelot of France.
Lancelot was 1min 13:285secs adrift of Raynard.
The Rockstar Bud Racing Kawasaki rider and Raynard were competing in the MX2 category whereas Stapleton rides in the MX1 category.
In the MX1 category, the winner was Stapleton. Sean Gaugin from the UAE and Olivier Eveleigh of Great Britain finished second and third respectively.
"The track was unbelievable today. I had some bike troubles so I didn't qualify for MX 1," Raynard said after his win yesterday.
"Next time I hope to make it. It was good though. I enjoyed my session," he added.
Stapleton said: "I and Anthony had a good battle. It was not a bad weekend for me in Qatar."
In the MX2 category, the winner was Raynard while Lancelot placed second, a notch ahead of Ross Runnals of South Africa.
In the MX2 overall standings, Hassan Ahmed of Bahrain leads the pack with a tally of 85 points after two rounds.

Ellen DeGeneres offered the perfect birthday present to supermodel Heidi Klum for her upcoming 40th – a red hat made out of a life preserver.
DeGeneres offered the hat to Klum, who appeared on the talk show Friday to talk about her harrowing experience in Hawaii last month where she saved her son, Henry, 7, and two nannies from dangerous waters while vacationing with her family and boyfriend Martin Kristen.
The America's Got Talent judge said her pal Nancy was throwing a hat party to celebrate her 40th birthday on June 1. So DeGeneres delivered a gag chapeau, replete with net and seaweed ribbon trailing down the back.

Heidi Klum proved last week that she is more than just a hot bod in a bikini when she valiantly saved her son and nannies from rough Hawaiian currents.
This week Klum appears to be facing any lingering fears of 7-year-old Henry splash-first!
On a day-trip to Disneyland, the model and reality star was spotted with Henry and boyfriend Martin Kirsten enjoying tons of rides – most notably Splash Mountain, which boasts a thrilling finish with an approximately 5-story plunge. Not to worry, the trio were strapped in for that and their turn getting soaked on Grizzly River Run.

When Heidi Klum saved her 7-year-old son and two nannies from the strong undertow of the Pacific Ocean on her Hawaiian vacation, she says she was just doing her duty as a mother.
"People are used to seeing me on the beach in a bikini, smiling with the wind in my hair," Klum, 39, tells PEOPLE exclusively of the scary scene, in which her son Henry and two nannies began to struggle in the powerful ocean current.
"These photos taken recently look much worse that it really was that day. I did what any mother would do," Klum, who jumped into action with boyfriend Martin Kirsten, says. "Henry swam out of it. I grabbed him at the shore. The nannies were the ones in much deeper trouble."

Heidi Klum's Hawaiian vacation took a terrifying turn over the weekend when her family went swimming at the beach.
Her oldest son Henry, 7, and two nannies got sucked into a riptide Sunday and were saved with the help of Klum and her boyfriend Martin Kristen.
"We got pulled into the ocean by a big wave. Of course, as a mother, I was very scared for my child and everyone else in the water," Klum, 39, says in a statement. "Henry is a strong swimmer and was able to swim back to land. We were able to get everyone out safely."

Key research areas
Glasgow's research strengths are diverse, and growing. The University is leading the way in traditional academic areas from medicine and physics to engineering, ethics and astronomy, as well as in ultramodern disciplines like bioelectronics, cell signalling, nanotechnology, and optoelectronics. And, in the latest Research Assessment Exercise our History of Art unit was the most highly rated of any university in the UK.
This commitment to remaining at the forefront of discovery is of vital benefit to our students, who receive an education led by academics working on the latest developments in their field. Glasgow is proud to be a member of the Russell Group of 20 major research-led universities in the UK.

London makes all the right choices with impressive, madcap ceremony
OLYMPICS:CHOOSE LIFE! Choose a job. Choose the biggest and most expensive television show on earth to dream up.
Last night at Olympic Park marked full circle for Danny Boyle, the chronically modest Lancastrian (with the Ballinasloe mum!) whose job it was to interpret England's potted history with the biggest pageant London has ever seen.
In grand Olympic tradition, the opening ceremony was unabashedly corny and dripping with aspirations for a better world. But it did contain a little of the barbed humour which Boyle employed all those years ago when he was directing Trainspotting, his low-budget, antic caper about heroin addicts. Last night, with a live audience which included Queen Elizabeth and James Bond, he offered a vision of a more green and pleasant land.
If they wanted to get to the heart of the British national character, it would have been simpler – and cheaper- to show a rerun of Fawlty Towers on a big screen. But what is the point of hosting the Olympics if you can't at least have Kenneth Branagh quote a little Shakespeare (does anyone quote the Bard better than the Belfast boy?) and have a few church bells ring clear in the night sky. The rain fell briefly, as if to remind everyone that this was London and London means rain. But overall, it all went swimmingly.
Two things about Olympic ceremonies never change. They have nothing to do with sport. And they always have and always will be staggeringly expensive exercises in nuttiness. Last night in east London was no exception even if the three and a half hour show illustrated the fact that the British do pomp and pageantry better than the rest of the world. By seven o'clock last night, the masses had gathered in Olympic park and the perfumed and the beautiful began to shimmer up the carpeted entrances reserved for the Olympic Families prestigious guests. By the time the Red Arrows completed a flyover salute, everyone was ready to be dumbfounded and awestruck.
"I don't believe in God but I believe in people who do," Boyle said, quoting Billy Connolly in his brief address and expressing the modest wish that people would enjoy the show he is probably going to be remembered for.
And it was impressive in a madcap way. This was a whitewashed montage of centuries of life in Albion. The estimated audience of one billion was treated to a stunning vision of life on the shires and twenty minutes later, we were straight into the smoky might of the industrial revolution – but without the gruesome child labour and the rapacious desire to conquer the world.
It all got a bit trippy after that. Ken Branagh watched the years rush by and flouted the Olympic no smoking laws with a big stogie in his mouth . . . but as he was still in the 1800s, that was okay. Then came the little theatrical tableau between Daniel Craig's James Bond and HRM Queen Elizabeth, as herself. She's no Helen Mirren but it wasn't a bad debut. In the embargoed running order handed out an hour before the ceremony, it was revealed that Bond and HRM were to be parachuted into the stadium.

Has anyone else experienced this problem with the "Intel 82574L" onboard network interface on Supermicro X9SCM-F-B?
Basically what's happening is that the network interface will lock up. The machine stops responding, when logging in through the dedicated IPMI or console the network interface shows 99% usage in task manager but does not have a connection to the internet. It doesn't show a red disconnect X it just say's no internet access. If we try to run diagnostics it fails. If we try to disable the network interface it takes a long time, sometimes it disables, sometimes it doesn't. The only way we have found to fix this problem is by power cycling the machine. If we try to restart the machine properly it just hangs at shutting down. However the next day or some other random time the network interface will lock up again.
We recently deployed 11 of these machines with identical specs, 9 of them have Windows Web Server 2008 R2 64-bit and 2 of them have CentOS 6x 64-bit. We've primarily seen this problem occurring on 2-3 specific machines with Windows but it has happened on several other machines less often as well. It has occurred on one of the CentOS machines 2-3 times but not recently. The machines all had Bios 1.0c when deployed but we have since updated to 1.1a which made no difference.
Machine specs:
Supermicro X9SCM-F-B Server Motherboard
Intel Xeon Quad-Core E3-1230 3.2GHz 5GT/s 1155pin 8MB CPU
Kingston KVR1333D3E9SK2/8G DDR3-1333 8GB (2x4GB) ECC CL9 Memory Kit
2 x Western Digital Caviar Black WD5002AALX 500GB SATA3 7200rpm 32MB Hard Drive
BIOS Revision: 1.1a
Intel PROSet Version: 126.96.36.199
Driver Version: 184.108.40.206
Latest INF Drivers installed
All Windows Updates installed
We originally had a Dell Powerconnect 6248 switch but it was quite old so we replaced it with a brand new Dell Powerconnect 5548 switch with latest firmware. The problem occurred with both switches so we don't think it's that unless it has something to do with auto-negotiating or the power saving features.
Things we are trying now:
- Switched one system to use the secondary nic "Intel 82574LM", so far hasn't locked up in 3 days (good sign).
- Rolled back to the Microsoft default drivers, will have to wait and see what happens.
- Disabled Flow Control and EEE (Energy Savings) on the switch.
Is there any way to run a debug or setup network interface logging to find out whats causing this to happen?
Thanks for reading.
I have the same problem with Intel 82574L on a SuperMicro server. I have the latest driver version 188.8.131.52.
I also am having the exact same issue with an X9SCM-F-0. The server was just recently built & everything worked fine for about 4 days after & then all the sudden it started. At first, the 82574L NIC just kept disconnecting & reconnecting over & over & I wasn't even able to connect via IPMI. Eventually I had to power cycle the server. Ever since I've been getting random issues where filesharing just stops on the server as well as the NIC randomly disconnected (not at the same time though). I can connect to shares on the server via \\localhost but I cannot connect to them remotely until the server is power cycled.
I just removed the newest Intel drivers (I think they are from June 2012) & installed the default MS drivers from 2009. After this, I'm going to exclusively use the 82574LM driver if the MS drivers do not work. I don't really want to do that though since the LM NIC is bound to a virtual machine in Hyper-V.
Have either of you guys found any workarounds yet?
The only solution for me was to use the 82574LM unfortunately.

http://www.desototimes.com/articles/...b401153327.txtAuthorities are warning motorists to be extremely careful when traveling late at night or in the early morning hours along Interstate 55 and county highways in northwest Mississippi.
Two people were shot dead in separate shooting incidents last Tuesday and Friday.
In both cases victims were shot and their vehicles left on the side of the road.
There has been widespread speculation the two victims were pulled over by someone posing as a law enforcement officer using blue flashing police lights on an unmarked car.
However, Champion would not confirm the "blue light theory," adding that he was not going to speculate on theories or rumors swirling around the case.
In the next breath, Champion said motorists have a right to drive slowly to "a place of safety" with their flashing lights turned on if they are pulled over by a vehicle with flashing blue lights, presumably a law enforcement officer.
Champion said citizens do not have blanket permission to ignore an officer who pulls over a vehicle.
"You have the right to turn on flashing lights and pull to a lighted, safe area," Champion said. "It doesn't give you carte blanche right not to stop at all."
Shell casings left at the scene, possibly from the weapon, indicate the two shootings may be related, according to sources close to the investigation.
Champion would not confirm the caliber of the weapon, number of shots fired or disclose evidence collected, only that evidence had been collected in addition to shell casings found at the scene.
"Due to the area and the time of day, we do not have any witnesses," Champion said. "We are asking for the community's help."
"There are some similarities between the two incidents, mainly the fact they happened alongside a Mississippi highway," Lt. Col. Larry Waggoner, Mississippi Bureau of Investigations Director, said. "The concern is that someone is posing as a law enforcement officer and that is how these vehicles end up on the side of the road."
On Tuesday, May 8, Thomas K. Schlender, 74, of Raymond, Nebraska, was found in his car in the median of southbound Interstate 55 shortly after 1:30 a.m. Tuesday.
Schlender's car was found near the Pope exit of I-55 in Panola County.
He had been shot at least four times, and according to family members, it appears that Schlender had also been robbed.
On Friday, the body of 48 year-old Lori Anne Carswell was found in her car on the shoulder of the road along Miss. Hwy. 713 about 2:15 a.m. Friday morning.
Champion did confirm the first victim, Schlender, was discovered inside his vehicle. The second victim, Carswell, was discovered outside the vehicle on the pavement.
There is no indication she had been sexually assaulted or encountered any other kind of abuse other than being shot, according to Champion.
Meanwhile, the Tate County Sheriffs Office is warning drivers there to be extra careful.
A statement posted online, read as follows:
We urge everyone to be cautious while driving, especially at night. If someone attempts to pull you over with flashing lights and you feel unsure of stopping, don't pull over. Use your cell phone and dial 911 and if its a real officer then the dispatcher will confirm it for you and if its not a real officer they will send help to you. Our deputies have been told not to overreact if someone does not immediately pull over. Your safety is our primary concern.
The two killings occurred 55 miles apart. The victims did not know each other.

Food Safety and Labels
To help you make healthy food choices, the federal government posts dietary guidelines. Federal regulations also require many foods to identify fat content, fiber and nutrients on their labels.
Food safety in the home revolves around three main functions: food storage, food handling, and cooking. Most experts agree that practicing a few simple rules focused on cleaning, separating, and cooking can prevent most food-borne illness in the home. The storage and cooking temperatures of food are also important factors in keeping your food safe. Food needs to be kept at 40 degrees Fahrenheit to keep bacteria from growing. In addition, meats should be cooked to a safe temperature - 165 degrees Fahrenheit for poultry and 160 degrees Fahrenheit for beef. The website foodsafety.gov. is your gateway to government food safety information including publications you can download or request. You can also visit recalls.gov for the latest food safety alerts and recalls.
For more information, here are some additional resources:
- Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
- FDA's Food Information and Seafood Hotline 1-888-723-3366
- Partnership for Food Safety Education's online resource of Fight BAC! for food safety and safe food handling information
- U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
- USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service
- USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline 1-888-674-6854
- Foodsafety.gov is the gateway to food safety information and useful tips provided by federal government agencies.
