A boater reported missing after a planned trip from Fort Myers to Key West was found dead on a beach in Cuba, with his body tethered to his beached vessel.
The Miami Herald reports Jay Wesley Rydberg, 40, was found Tuesday along with his 39-foot trimaran boat, the 3/4 Time, by Cuban officials about 44 miles east of Havana.
Cuban officials contacted the U.S. Coast Guard.
Rydberg reportedly left Fort Myers on May 13th, and expected to be in Key West a day or two later.
The Coast Guard received a distress radio beacon from Rydberg's boat around 4 a.m. on May 14th, 30 miles north of Key West.
They launched a crew but weren't able to find Rydberg or his boat. They called off the search four days later.

..and they don't grind all that fine, either.
But grind they do.
Regular readers of this blog may remember that about a year ago I had the exciting opportunity of traveling to Paris to cover one of the France2 defamation trials (my posts on the subject can be found by going to the right sidebar under "Categories" and clicking on "Paris and France2 trial" for the links).
These trials featured the interesting spectacle of a government-owned TV station, France2, suing ordinary citizens and bloggers who had accused the station and its renowned correspondent Charles Enderlin of lying in their coverage of the al Durah incident of 2000. It was the equivalent of Dan Rather suing Charles Johnson of Little Green Footballs for accusing him of presenting forgeries in the Killian memo controversy (and speaking of Dan Rather suing, take a look at this).
"French justice" in defamation cases may be somewhat of an oxymoron. Between its rules of evidence (spotty), its attention to detail (nonexistent), its burden of proof (on the defendent), and its respect for entrenched power and reputation (astronomical), it's easy to see why France 2 and Enderlin were so cocky in bringing a suit that in this country wouldn't stand a chance.
Why care? In the US the al Durah incident was not nearly as influential as it was in Europe (see also this and this), where it greatly intensified an already anti-Israel climate and sparked support for the violent excesses of the Palestinians' Second Intifada. The France2 footage and stills were used in terrorist and Islamicist totalitarian propaganda around the world, including the video made of Daniel Pearl's beheading. The incident and attendant publicity solidified the idea that Israeli soldiers are a brutal lot intent on killing innocent Palestinian children.
But the evidence is nearly overwhelming that the video is a fake, and and that the child—if killed at all—was not killed by IDF fire, either purposely or even accidentally. Independent investigators have said as much (see this and this) and the select few outside of France 2 who have seen the raw video footage have all concluded it does not show what France 2 and Enderlin purport (see this, for example).
The France 2 videotape is the linchpin of the case, the most vital evidence available. And yet, shockingly, only a few people not connected to France 2 have been able to view it, and the French court is not one of them. Why? Until now, the judges haven't appeared interested; after all, why let a little evidence get in the way of a good decision?
Three private citizens had been sued for defamation by France 2 and Enderlin. The first, Philippe Karsenty, was convicted. The second, Lurçat, whose trial I covered, got off on a technicality, while the third, Gouz, received something called a "mitigated judgment" for using the word "misinformation" on his blog in relation to France 2 (a rather mild accusation, you might agree, especially for the blogosphere, but actionable in France nonetheless).
But now comes the astounding news that in Karsenty's appeal case the court has done the unthinkable and ordered France 2 to produce the tapes for viewing.
Since everyone independent of France 2 who has seen these tapes alleges that they fail to show what France 2 has said they show—the terrible death throes of the boy, too devastating for viewing—and that what they actually show is staged scenes, people strolling past unperturbed, no blood, bullet holes incompatible with having been fired from the Israeli position, and the boy al Durah raising his head and looking around after he is supposedly dead, this should be interesting.
Why the change of heart on the part of the French court? I don't know, but here are my guesses. First, the Israeli Army has requested release of the full videotapes from France 2 and has tied this to Karsenty's Appellate case (see the text of the letter, here). In the earlier Karsenty trial, the court had cited Israel's supposed failure to challenge the tapes (incorrectly; see paragraph 12 here) as evidence that the footage could not be false.
The second change is the election of Nicholas Sarkozy as President of France. In Karsenty's first trial, practically the only "evidence" the prosecution mounted—or, apparently, felt it needed to mount—was a letter from the esteemed President of France, Jacques Chirac, stating his admiration for the esteemed Charles Enderlin. Somehow I doubt that Sarkozy will be quite as obliging.
Although the entire trial is pretty much off the radar screen of the MSM—who perhaps would dearly love to have the same privilege to sue bloggers accorded the press in France—the issues involved are profound.
Stay tuned.

For 40 years the late Elli Buk (1949-2012), of New York, an art and antiques dealer in SoHo, amassed a vast collection of scientific, medical, and technological artifacts spanning two centuries.
His collecting started in his early 20s when Buk became fascinated with machines while repairing machinery in the knitting factory where he worked. At first he collected things he could take apart and put together again to see how they worked. This led to his repairing watches and clocks and to eventually opening in 1978 E. Buk Art And Antiques.

[1] The biggest thing that was holding back my highest-level client, Andres Torres of the San Francisco Giants, was that he was taught a linear hand path. He was taught to throw his hands at the ball, to slap the ball, and to try to beat out the throw. This worked for him all the way up through the AA level, in large part due to his incredible speed, but it stopped working for him at the AAA level. Over the past year I have helped him move to a more rotational swing, using Albert Pujols as his model, and he has seen dramatic improvements in terms of both his average and his power. That is why I teach Rotational Hitting and not Linear Hitting.
[2] In my work with Andres Torres, I found that the biggest and most important revelation for him was the distinction between Connection and Extension. This is relevant to the Linear versus Rotational debate because when he tried to swing using a linear hand path, he would end up disconnecting and robbing himself of power.
Very Interesting. This article was updated in January. It does not take into consideration what Torres has done this year. Is this the real reason why Torres has sparkled since joining the San Francisco Giants?

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio- Two Youngstown police officers are off the job following an investigation into allegations involving police brutality.
Officers Robert Joliff and Jay Fletcher were both fired from the department amid accusations involving the beating and dragging of a disabled man.
Chief Jimmy Hughes said both officers have had complaints filed against them prior to the incident involving wheelchair-bound Youngstown resident Willie Daniel.
"Willie Daniel, his complaint was use of force, police brutality you could say. He alleges he was struck multiple times by Joliff and dragged in the streets without assistance coming from officer Joliff or any officers there," Hughes said.
Daniel said he wasn't sure how the investigation would be handled, but is happy with the dismissals.
"After it occurred, I was kind of skeptical about the police, but I had faith all of them ain't like that. But it shocked me that one officer would be like that, though," Daniel said.
Attorney David Betras, who is representing Daniel, said there are still issues that need to be resolved.
"One part of the case is over with, but there's a civil component to the case and there's a criminal component to the case, but I think we're going to come to a global resolution on all the issues and my client and the city can put this behind them and both of them move on," Betras said.
Daniel still has a civil action pending against the city for alleged civil rights violations and he still faces a DUI charge.
Daniel's wife faces charges of resisting arrest and obstruction of justice.
Two other officers may still face disciplinary action over the alleged incident, as well.
Both Joliff and Fletcher can appeal their terminations.

LOS ANGELES (CNS) – A federal appellate panel today upheld a Los Angeles judge's ruling and rejected efforts by Fox Broadcasting to block Dish Network's AutoHop ad-skipping service.
Fox attorneys had asked the three-judge panel of the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in Pasadena to grant a preliminary injunction to disable the feature of its Hopper DVR, which re-transmits broadcasts over the Internet to almost any mobile device.
Fox argued that AutoHop — which automatically bypasses ads — could potentially undermine television's advertising business and cause "irreparable harm" to the network.
The ABC, CBS and NBC networks filed briefs in support of Fox's appeal.
U.S. District Judge Dolly Gee rejected Fox's argument last year.

Let's face it, dear Reader, life can be rough. World literature makes no bones about that. Folklore and historical legends — not to mention legends urbane — abound with warnings about visitations of malevolent spirits both natural and supernatural. Indeed it can be sobering to contemplate the seemingly endless array of bizarre and chaotic elements that are crouching nearby, patiently awaiting an opportune moment to pounce upon or infest or trouble us in some way. It's more than enough to keep one awake at night, especially if one has the sort of neighbor we had until recently.
I will confess that on the street she was given the disparaging designation of Crack Whore. She was chaos incarnate and might be seen staggering about in her yard at four in the afternoon and then again at two in the morning. She had obvious health problems. Trash piled up on the front porch and then overflowed it, spilling down the driveway, drifting across the lawn. Visitors arrived in thumping cars with shaded windows. And the woman veritably shrieked, eventually, at nearly everybody who was seen to set foot on the property — be they friends, customers, "boyfriends," or meter-readers. This sort of thing was new and unsettling around here, and it was primarily the unpredictable potential of the woman that kept all her neighbors at bay; she spoke to nobody and nobody spoke to her. One could only guess from her general behavior what violent wrath even a whisper of complaint might incite, so nobody risked it. I naturally presumed that, like me, everybody on the street was well acquainted with the legend of Kay Us.
* * *
This legend comes from a fragment of the Avesta. The Avesta can be called the Zoroastrian bible. Interestingly, Zoroastrianism is the oldest monotheistic religion still in practice today, although worldwide there are fewer than 100,000 adherents. Most of these families left Iran long ago and now live in India and are called Parsees, although some can also be found in Pakistan, Great Britain, Hong Kong, Zanzibar, Kenya, France, Germany, Canada and the United States. Their god — predating the god Yahweh of Judaism and the god God of Christianity — is called Ahura Mazda and he is a god of truth and order. Zoroaster, by the way, is Greek for "living star." If you'd rather have it in Persian, which many would since he was Persian, then you have Zarathustra, which means "he who seeks camels." My favorite thing about the prophet Zoroaster — who lived sometime between 600 and 1,400 BCE, scholars squabble about it — is that he was said to be born laughing. We should all have such a start in life!
So from the Avesta we have the legend of Kay Us, an Iranian king who built magical palaces of gold, silver, steel and crystal and fought constantly with the Turks. He was a vain and acquisitive little fellow, as many in his position will be. In a famous territorial dispute, involving a great ox who by divine decree kept the boundary, Kay Us calls in Srit (in some accounts, Srito), the largest and strongest of his princes, and instructs him to go kill the troublesome ox so that he might have the land beyond it.
Obediently Srit sets forth, but by turns and through circumstances the ox convinces Srit that killing him is not such a good idea and would immediately bring on the greatest catastrophe. Alarmed, Srit reports back to Kay Us and, for failing to carry out his orders, begs to be put to death himself. One must imagine with what kingly sighs of disappointment Kay Us then orders Srit to enter a forest where a spirit will appear in the guise of a Bitch (in some accounts, a Witch). Encountering the Bitch Srit proceeds to strike her down, but the infinite Bitch merely divides in two. Srit strikes again at each Bitch, and each Bitch responds by dividing in two. This continues again and again — Srit working into a frenzy against the increasing horde — until finally the countless Bitches fatally overwhelm him.
* * *
I suspect the Crack Whore was such a Bitch; and I suspect all her neighbors thought so too; and I suspect, further, that any attempt to limit her would only have served to increase her powers, bringing untold suffering to the entire neighborhood. I can say with some relief that she is no longer our neighbor. Better it sometimes is to heed legends and the lore of the folk, than to foolishly poke and prod too hard at the crazy world.

From the Otsego Herald
for Wednesday, June 8, 1814
Compiled, with comments
The "Teamboat"
Progress of the arts — For several days past, the new ferry boat, invented by Moses Rodgers, Esq. of this city, propelled by the draught of six horses, has been plying between this city and Brooklyn, a distance of three quarters of a mile.
On slack water she crosses in seven minutes. In one of her passages she had upwards of 300 persons, on board. For short distances she answers all the valuable purposes of steamboats. We congratulate the public on this cheap and important addition to their comfort and safety. – New York Paper.
COMMENT: The "Teamboat Ferry," as it was called, was a double-hulled boat with a paddle wheel between the two hulls, designed so it would not be harmed by floating ice. Eight horses walked in a circle on deck, turning a crank which in turn moved the paddle wheel.
This ferry could cross the East River in from eight to 15 minutes, and was widely copied. It had no steam, no boiler, no fuel, and no sails — and unlike steamboats could not blow up! Besides — you didn't have to pay any fee to Robert Fulton for using his patent steamboat design.
"Teamboats" continued to be used on rivers until the Civil War, though most seem to have had twin paddle wheels, one on each side of a single hull. The wreck of a "teamboat" that sank in Lake Champlain was discovered in 1983.
Moses Rodgers (ca. 1779-1821) went on to Captain the "Savannah," which in 1819 became the first steam powered ship to cross the Atlantic Ocean. She went from Savannah, Ga. to St. Petersburg in Russia, and back, stopping in London, Stockholm, and other ports on the way. But she also carried sails, and only a fraction of the trip was made under steam power.

Prairie Charms Jewellery bracelets
I absolutely love this community of creatives that have come out of blogging and the industry in general, and I love finding and supporting new and young entrepreneurs with budding businesses. Similar to some indie makeup blog posts I did before, I'll also be doing some blog posts about indie/blogger businesses, so if you want to get in touch with your business, email me at firstname.lastname@example.com. Todays post is about a new online jewellery store, called Prairie Charms. The store is still super new, and launched on July 1st, with a handful of gorgeous handmade items to browse through all by the lovely Stephanie. Something I also love about Prairie Charms is that 10% of all their profit sold from each product goes to the GOSH Kiss It Better campaign - a really kind gesture seeing how hard it is for any start up business these days to make profit, let alone donate a percentage of it to charity.
I picked three gorgeous little bracelets from Prairie Charms which retail from £8 each, and I was drawn to them simply due to their simplicity. I'm not really a huge jewellery wearer, so I don't go for crazy over the top things, but more cute simple bits that go with my clothing. The single bracelets all have a single charm on them encased in some pretty little beads and they come in a variety of colours and charms. The ones i have are a feather, crown and tiny little bow! So cute. They came so gorgeously wrapped up with so much attention to detail, I felt bad ripping it open to get to the goodies!
I love these little bracelets from Prairie Charms, and think they're a really sweet little touch to my outfits. Especially my tie dye red shirt as shown above! They go so well! Sometimes I wear all three together, and sometimes I just stick on a black one on it's own just to jazz up my top and match my disco pants. Stephanie makes a bunch of different things, and I also adore the gorgeous brooches she makes - i've never seen anything quite so cute and delicate!
Check out Prairie Charms' store at www.prairiecharms.co.uk.
What do you think of indie/blogger businesses? I love seeing what you crafty creative girls are up to, think you're all geniuses! What do you think of my Prairie Charms bracelets? Are you off to check the store out?
Love, Zozo

"Dreamers and Doers"
on February 22, 2013
at 12:27 am
Posted In: The Fire To Inspire
Dreamers & Doers categorize all the people who seek their life's purpose. Both of these categories are essential to establishing a strategic plan of action, but starting with only one can endanger your success towards a certain goal/task! When we first start out to seek our mission, visualization is key in order to specifically answer the two most important questions that will make or break your success:
1) What we wish to accomplish?
2) Why is it important to us?
3) How will we accomplish this?
Sure you may have already "gone over" these two questions and think you it all the bells and whistles worked out, so I got a bonus question for you…
4) Is the answer to "Why" significant enough to overcome "How" you are going to obtain it??
Only when your "Why" is undoubtedly more important than your "How" will you be successful of achieving your task/goal.
The two sentences I wrote below are examples of how Dreamers & Doers view a particular goal/task.
*I want to figure out what my purpose is once and for all.
*I will figure out my purpose once and for all.
Isn't it amazing to think that simply swapping one word (technically) for another separates the "Dreamers" from the "Doers?" The people who are "doers" generally do not think about the task itself, they simply see what lies after the task is completed: Feeling of satisfaction, sense of relief, etc. The task at hand can be as big as buying that dream house you've always wanted, or as small as fixing a squeaky door. Regardless of the task, the emotions and feelings that follow as a result of completing a particular task/goal will remain the same. Sure the feeling's intensity will always fluctuate, but the emotions themselves remain unaltered.
So… what exactly am I getting at?
I'm stating that being a "Doer" doesn't mean you will enjoy everything you do. We obviously know that there are certain things we despise doing, but its when we achieve those goals that we step out of our comfort zone and grow as individuals. In fact, Doers get MORE motivation from accomplishing tasks they DON'T LIKE to do…Why though?? In my opinion once I tasted how sweet success felt… I'd rather DIE than go without another fix…*
Do you have a small pet peeve that just drives you nuts unless you fix it? My pet peeve is that squeaky door we talked about earlier believe it or not. It drives me absolutely insane to the point where I have actually lubed a door to a person's house that I was trying to sell one-on-one training sessions to! Sure it may have seemed odd to do such a thing, but solving a small, simple problem like a squeaky door allows you to reap the emotional benefits that come with it.
Taking action on something as small as this will reprogram your mind to succeed at whatever you want, while also allowed me to get a new client AND two more leads!!
This is the same for anything you do. We as humans run off instinct. Instincts are are created from emotions, so its vital to understand them and know how to use them to our advantage. When coordinated properly, we are able to achieve anything we truly want, but it takes time. Next time you see papers all over your desk, or see a few dishes that need to be washed, take 5 minutes and tighty things up. This will help train your mind into "doing" instead of dreaming.

Judge rejects bid for new Michael Jackson trial
LOS ANGELES (AP) - A judge on Monday rejected a bid by Michael Jackson's mother for a new trial in her lawsuit claiming the promoter of her son's ill-fated comeback concerts was negligent in his death.
Superior Court Judge Yvette Palazuelos ruled that jurors were given proper instructions and there were no errors in her trial rulings that would warrant a retrial.
A jury determined in October that AEG Live was not liable for Jackson's June 2009 death despite hiring the doctor who was convicted of giving the superstar an overdose of a powerful anesthetic.
Katherine Jackson's lawyers argued that jurors were given an improper verdict form that was contrary to state law and didn't allow them to consider all the issues in the case after five months of testimony last year.
AEG's lawyers argued that there was no mistake in the verdict form and the motion for a new trial should be denied.
Attorneys for the Jackson family matriarch say they will appeal to a higher state court.
Jurors decided the case on a question about whether evidence showed former cardiologist Conrad Murray was unfit or incompetent to serve as Jackson's physician while he prepared for a series of 50 concerts at London's O2 Arena. Katherine Jackson's attorneys argued the question unfairly restricted deliberations, but Palazuelos disagreed.
"Question Two does not restrict jurors to the consideration of Dr. Murray's competence at the time of hiring only," the judge wrote.
She also determined that there was no evidence that the panel was confused by the verdict form, noting that jurors often wrote her notes about scheduling concerns and to ask for supplies during deliberations.
"The court finds no jury confusion based on the admissible evidence," Palazuelos ruled.
AEG Live's attorney Marvin Putnam praised Monday's ruling.
"We were confident that the court would uphold the jury's verdict," he wrote in a statement. "This is also fantastic news for the taxpayers of California, who won't have their hard-earned money wasted retrying plaintiffs' baseless claims. Enough is enough."
Kevin Boyle, an attorney for Katherine Jackson and her grandchildren, said the case was far from over.
"We believe there are numerous ways that we can win on appeal," Boyle wrote in an email.
Katherine Jackson sued AEG Live on behalf of herself and her son's three children, accusing the concert promoter of hiring Murray and creating a conflict of interest in his care of the pop superstar.
Murray, who was deeply in debt, was expecting to be paid $150,000 a month to care for Jackson while he prepared for a planned series of comeback concerts in London's O2 Arena. The singer died on June 25, 2009, after receiving an overdose the anesthetic propofol, which Murray was giving Jackson as a sleep aid.
Murray was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in 2011 and released in October after serving two years.
The trial offered a look into Jackson's personal life as well as his routines as an entertainer and medical treatments for a variety of ailments.
Jurors who spoke after the verdict said their verdict did not mean they thought Murray was ethical in his care of Jackson. But they determined he was fit and competent to serve as the singer's doctor when he was hired.
AEG Live executives denied any wrongdoing throughout the trial and said there was no way they could have known that Murray was giving Jackson propofol in the bedroom of his rented mansion.

'Drink wise... neutralise before you drive'
A group of final-year Integrated Marketing Communications (IMC) students at the University of the West Indies, Mona, are planning to launch "Detoxified", a public education campaign to encourage detoxing before, during or after the consumption of alcohol.
Under the theme "Drink wise...neutralise before you drive", the campaign will focus especially on persons who drive, including university students, hopefully to reduce the rate of road fatalities related to drunk driving.
Sereta Thompson, a member of the group told the Jamaica Observer that one of the aims of the project is to increase the number of detox bars at social events.
"We believe that just giving someone a bottle of water at an event after they have had way too much to drink is not enough. There needs to be more consideration for the lives of others by persons who have these social events," Thompson said, adding that the group was currently targeting university events where alcoholic beverages are served.
"We have been speaking with representatives of the UWI Mona Guild of Students to have stationed detox bars at this year's UWI Carnival as well as at Integration Thursdays," Thompson said.
The official launch for the campaign is to be held in March. Thompson says that the launch coincides with the climax of the University social events calendar.
"We thought what better time to launch a campaign that promotes this healthy habit than the week before UWI Carnival and all the end of semester parties that will be happening at that time of the year," she said.
"Detoxified", is the first campaign of its kind to be undertaken by the group of final- year students who plan to use social media in a big way to get their message across.
"We have a Facebook page with information on detoxing and how to detox in the absence of a detox bar. We also have a Youtube account and we are currently working on a blog for the campaign," Thompson said. "It's not that we want to take the fun out of drinking but we want persons to become more aware of detoxing, as well as how to do so properly in the event that there is no detox bar available at the event."

Color Kinetics Inc. and Super Vision Inc. today announced a joint settlement agreement ending all pending litigation between the two companies.
Through the agreement:
- Super Vision will pay Color Kinetics a set fee as settlement for all past claims Color Kinetics has against Super Vision, including the amount awarded to Color Kinetics by the US District Court for the District of Massachusetts.
- Super Vision will drop its pending claim of infringement against Color Kinetics with respect to U.S. patent #4,962,687, known as the '687 patent, in the US District Court for the Eastern District of Texas.
- Color Kinetics will drop its declaratory judgment claim of non-infringement of the '687 patent filed in the US District Court for the District of Massachusetts.
- Color Kinetics will grant Super Vision a royalty bearing license to its worldwide patent portfolio, allowing Super Vision to continue the manufacture and sale of its LED-based lighting products, including the SaVi™ line.
- Super Vision will grant Color Kinetics a royalty free license to the '687 patent.
- Super Vision waives its rights to appeal the final judgment granted to Color Kinetics by the US District Court of Massachusetts on November 8, 2006. In its ruling, the Court permanently enjoined Super Vision from manufacturing or selling in the United States any of the Super Vision products that were held to infringe Color Kinetics' patents, and all other Super Vision products which are merely colorable variations of the litigated products. By granting a license, Color Kinetics is allowing Super Vision to continue the sale of all enjoined products.
In August 2005 the Court granted summary judgment that all five of Color Kinetics' asserted patents are not invalid, that certain Super Vision products infringe those patents, and that Color Kinetics did not engage in inequitable conduct before the US Patent and Trademark Office.
"Since inception, Color Kinetics has devoted significant resources to building a strong intellectual property portfolio that reflects the company's vision, engineering talent, and multi-million dollar investment in research and development. We choose not to exclude players from the field, but rather enable the market through an active licensing programs," says Bill Sims, resident and CEO, Color Kinetics. "We're gratified by the resolution of our litigation with Super Vision, which we believe sends a strong message to the industry."
"The future is extremely bright for the global LED lighting industry and Super Vision is now positioned to capitalize on that potential. After almost five years of litigation, it is exciting to be able to focus 100% of our efforts on growing the company, developing new products and incorporating new LED technologies into lighting systems and controls through this agreement," state Mike Bauer, president and CEO of Super Vision International. "It was time to put the past behind us and get refocused on the business of lighting."
Sims adds, "Color Kinetics remains focused on developing new technologies to drive our Lighting Systems business, while also making those technologies and resulting IP available to third parties. The resolution of this case, combined with an ever-growing number of patents and broad list of prospective licensees, will allow us to aggressively pursue new agreements in diverse markets—ultimately helping to advance adoption of LED illumination worldwide."
This settlement agreement resolves all current claims between the two companies and allows both Color Kinetics and Super Vision International to focus their efforts on the expanding market for solid-state LED lighting systems around the world.

Dorene Lebowitz has been taking supplements of omega-3 fish oil for ten years hoping to stay healthy and keep her mind sharp. "If it could possibly work then it's fine with me. I'd be delighted."
It's long been thought that the fatty acids found in fish and nuts are good for the brain, but a new review of past studies found older people who took omega-3 supplements did not score any better on thinking and memory tests than participants who took a placebo.
"This is a great shame. It would be lovely to find a solution for cognitive decline and demensia, and unfortunately, the evidence as it stands says it does not benefit cognitive funcition in older people," says study author Dr. Alan Dangour of the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine.
But other experts say the studies weren't long enough and the patients weren't old enough.
"Those were young patients buy any standard, they were in their 60s, early 70s, today that's middle age," says Dr. Gisele Wolf-Klein of North Shore-LIJ Health System.@
Omega 3 fatty acids are an important part of a healthy diet and may provide heart benefits so even the study's authors recommend people continue to eat at least two servings of fish a week.
As for the fish oil supplements, the authors say it's up to the individual to make the decision. Dorene Lebowitz says she's not giving them up. "I've heard and read more positive things about it so I would continue it. It doesn't seem to have anything that could be harmful."
Doctors say diet, along with physical and mental activity will go a long way keeping the mind young.
Fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids include mackerel, tuna, salmon, sardines, herring and trout.

1Daniel Radcliffe Talks About Religion, Politics, And Being Gay
Earlier today, during Your Daily Gosling, Sarah gave you guys a little quote where Daniel Radcliffe announced that he had a "talent crush" on Ryan Gosling. And that got me to thinking a little bit, and I came to a very odd conclusion: I think Daniel Radcliffe is my new Ryan Gosling.
I KNOW! How could I, after all we've been through with Ryan? He's perfect, isn't he? He loves ballet and Disneyland, and then there's his face. Ryan Gosling should be my new Ryan Gosling!
But my heart is leading me in a different direction, and that direction is straight towards the most adorable boy who lived, and this little interview with Attitude magazine did nothing but drive me closer to him.
On gay marriage: "Don't define yourself by your sexuality, don't define as straight or gay, define yourself as people and help another person if they're in trouble. The ultimate reason gay marriage should be legalized everywhere is because, as a kid, you look to your mum and dad and they're married, then you look at the gay couple who've been together for the same amount of time, but because they can't get married their relationship doesn't seem the same. Yes, gay marriage is about symbolically blessing a relationship, but the larger issue is about transmitting a fundamental message about equality. Gay people should have equality in law everywhere. If you grow up as a young gay man knowing you dont' have the same opportuniteies as everyone else, you're going to feel victimised and massive prejudice towards you."
On religion: "I'm not religious, I'm an atheist, and a militant atheist when religion starts impacting on legislation. We need sex education in schools. Schools have to talk to kids from a young age about relationships, gay and straight."
On the Republican presidential candidates: "…they disgusted me less than candidates like Rick Perry, who made that ridiculous advert wearing 'the Brokeback jacket', and I think pretend to be homophobic just to win votes."
On wishing Obama would support gay marriage more: "Yes, I do, but can he really? Of course he's in favour of it, but he has to be careful about saying so. I'd rather have someone like him in the White House than the alternative."
Is he gay? "No. I can quite happily say someone is handsome, good-looking, and I can see why someone would want to f**k them, but I've never felt that way about a man myself. There is that moment in your late teens when you ask yourself the question, 'Am I?' but I wasn't…Well, this year I have a talent crush on Ryan Gosling. I think he's fantastic and…(ahem) you know he'd be nice afterwards. He seems smart. If I was gay, I would go for a smart man."
Do you see what I mean? I haven't heard anything charming from Ryan Gosling in a pretty long time, but here lately Daniel has been just pumping out the charm. Not to mention that Daniel looks way cuter in a suit.
So where do you guys stand on this one?

One Response to "Daniel Radcliffe Talks About Religion, Politics, And Being Gay"
I also so SO admire him for coming out of the addiction closet and admitting that things were tough for him on the Harry Potter set. I guess the pressure really got to him the way it did for others too. Johnny Depp admitted being overly hooked on hooch at one time while he was trying to deal with fame.
But that admission must have taken courage. But it's good that he was able to show the millions, who probably equated him with the fictional Harry Potter. that he is only a fallable human being like the rest of us.
Daniel rocks

John Edwards said that while he did not violate campaign finance law, "I did an awful, awful lot that was wrong."
Two-time Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards waited Friday to hear whether prosecutors intend to retry him, but he says his years of service aren't over, no matter what they decide.
John Edwards walked out of a courtroom Thursday a free man. How long will it take women attracted by the flame of celebrity -- even ill-gotten -- to date him? And believe they can convert him to monogamy?
El ex senador demócrata dice que él es responsable por los errores cometidos.
The jury in the trial of former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards spent more than 50 hours deliberating six counts stemming from allegations that he accepted illegal campaign contributions, falsified documents and conspired to receive and conceal the contributions.
Erin Burnett tackles the latest in the John Edwards Trial. Flirting by a juror, wardrobe mishap and a judge's warning.
Jurors began their sixth day of deliberations Friday in the corruption trial of John Edwards, the 2004 Democratic presidential nominee and candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008.
Once a rising star in the Democratic Party, John Edwards fell from grace after an extramarial affair. Joe Johns reports.
Jurors in John Edwards' corruption trial went home Thursday, after their fifth day of deliberations, without a verdict -- leaving the former Democratic presidential candidate in limbo for yet another day.
The jury in former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards' corruption trial finished its fourth day of deliberations Wednesday without reaching a verdict.
The jury in the trial of former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards is deliberating six counts stemming from allegations that he accepted illegal campaign contributions, falsified documents and conspired to receive and conceal the contributions. The maximum sentence if convicted on all six counts would be 30 years in prison and a $1.5 million fine.
The jury in former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards' corruption trial ended its third day of deliberations Tuesday, asking to take another look at two more exhibits in the case.
Jurors were set to begin deliberations Friday in the corruption trial of former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards.
The defense team for John Edwards rested its case Wednesday without calling the former Democratic presidential candidate's ex-mistress to testify at his corruption trial.
While John Edwards' lawyers have not yet made a decision whether to put the former presidential candidate on the stand in his corruption trial, Edwards' oldest daughter, Cate, is expected to testify this week, possibly as early as Tuesday.
Political analyst Gloria Borger talks to Wolf Blitzer about John Edwards' parallel life, revealed in his criminal trial.
The defense for John Edwards is scheduled to start Monday morning in the former presidential candidate's corruption trial.
The federal judge presiding in the John Edwards corruption trial on Friday turned down a motion to dismiss the charges, setting the stage for the former presidential candidate to defend his case.
Prosecutors wrapped up their case in the John Edwards corruption trial Thursday, detailing hundreds of thousands of dollars in expenses used by his former mistress, whose concealment during Edwards' failed presidential run remains at the heart of the scandal.
After a dramatic day in court, the content of John Edwards' sex tape is now fair game in his trial. Joe Johns explains.
John Edwards knew that a wealthy benefactor was giving money to help cover up his affair with Rielle Hunter, a former speechwriter testified Tuesday during the corruption trial of the former presidential candidate.
The attorney for a 101-year-old billionaire donor, whose money is at the center of John Edwards' corruption trial, told jurors Monday that his client knew the hundreds of thousands of dollars she gave the former U.S. presidential candidate was not a campaign contribution.
An attorney testifies that a wealthy donor knew her money wasn't for John Edwards' campaign. Joe Johns reports.
A former adviser recalled Friday how he urged John Edwards to steer clear of a campaign videographer, later revealed to be his mistress. But the then-presidential candidate refused, Peter Scher said in court.

Softball's offense secures two more wins at JU Invitational
Related Links
For the second straight day, the JU softball team's offense came alive to get wins over Central Michigan, 7-0, and Florida A&M, 6-1, on Saturday at the JU Invitational.
Four different Dolphin (6-3) batters finished with four hits to pace the 20-hit attack. Senior Katie Kelly finished 4-for-8 with two doubles and four RBI to lead the offense, while sophomore Sarah Simon and freshman Karson Tuck drove in three runs each to help the cause.
"This was another good effort by our squad, " said JU head coach Amanda Lehotak. "Our expectations were to be a good hitting team this year and I'm pleased to see us be that kind of a team. The pitchers were also solid again today. We have another tough test with Jacksonville State tomorrow to close out the weekend."
Senior Jackie Samuels and sophomore Olivia Kline (3-1) combined to shutout the Chippewas (1-3) in the first game. Samuel allowed one hit in 2.1 innings before giving way to Kline, who struck out four and scattered four hits in 4.2 innings to get the win.
For the second straight day, junior Sarah Sigrest (3-0) recorded another good performance by fanning eight Lady Rattler (4-3) batters and allowing one unearned run on five hits in seven innings for the win.
Against Central Michigan, Kelly walked to lead off the third inning for JU and junior Melissa Morales advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt in the next at-bat. Junior Kayla Ouellet pushed her to third on an infield single and moved to second base herself when no one was looking. Simon plated both runners with a single to right field to give the Dolphins a 2-0 lead.
Samuels ran into trouble in the bottom of the third inning after giving up a one-out walk and a single to Brogan Darwin. Kline relived Samuels and retired the next two batters to get out of the jam.
In the JU sixth inning, Tuck recorded a one-out single to left field. Junior Amanda Schmidt popped out before Kline singled to left. Central Michigan reliever Sarah Patterson induced a ground ball to first base in the next at-bat, but the first baseman bobbled it to load the bases. Kelly followed with a bases-clearing double to center field to give a 5-0 lead.
The Dolphins added insurance runs in the seventh inning on a RBI double by Simon and a single by Schmidt. Kline pitched a scoreless frame in the bottom of the inning to secure the win.
Kari Seddon (0-1) took the loss for Central Michigan by allowing three runs, two earned, on four hits in 4.2 innings. Patterson gave up four runs, two earned, in two innings.
With the score tied at one against the Lady Rattlers, Kline put the Dolphins ahead with a solo homer down the right field line to start the fourth inning. Freshman Meagan Balding followed with a double, while senior Katarina Engler reached on an infield single. After a pop out, freshman Jacey Warner walked to load the bases.
Engler was forced out at third during a fielder's choice by Simon, but Balding was able to score on the play. Tuck gave the Dolphins a 5-1 lead in the next at-bat with a bases-clearing double to left field to score Warner and Simon.
The Dolphins added a run in the fifth inning on a ground out by Engler, while Sigrest pitched two scoreless innings to close the game out.
The Lady Rattlers lead initially, 1-0, by getting a run on two JU errors in the first inning. A two-out Florida A&M error in the third inning opened the door for an RBI double by Kelly to tie the game for the Dolphins.
Whitney Robinson (1-1) took the loss for the Lady Rattlers, allowing six runs, five earned, on 11 hits in five innings of work.
The Dolphins round out the invitational tomorrow with Jacksonville State at 1 p.m.

Yuma, Arizona December 8, 2011 - It pains Rosario Zavala to talk about her son Manuel's death.
"He didn't die in combat. He didn't," says Zavala, fighting the tears and emotion. "He just left a note so you can imagine how he died."
In her son's suicide note, Zavala says Manuel made it clear that he wanted his fiancee, Felicia Longley and his father, Alberto Zavala as beneficiaries.
But that didn't happen.
The Ninth District Court of Appeals in San Francisco recognized somebody else.
"The blow that we got just before Thanksgiving from the court, the system, and then this young lady that took advantage of my son."
That young lady Zavala refers to is Manuel's ex-girlfriend, August Parker Turner, a Sheriff's deputy for the Yuma County Sheriff's Office.
"Miss Parker-Turner was awarded $400,000 in life insurance benefit that my son had as beneficiary in his life insurance from the Army," says Zavala.
Zavala says Manuel had only dated Parker-Turner for three months, during which he made her beneficiary. When asked why Manuel made her beneficiary, Zavala explained that she was pregnant with his child, but then miscarried. According to Zavala, it was later discovered that Manuel was sterile.
And, while she says Parker-Turner won her case by law, Zavala believes Manuel's ex-girlfriend failed to do what's moral and right.
"The families shouldn't have to suffer what we've had to suffer and what we went through," says Zavala. "And I'm appealing to the public, to the community to help us out."
Zavala wants Congress to change the law on the Servicemembers Group Life Insurance Act, which says the beneficiary designation must be delivered before a service member's death.
"If there's a note that didn't make it to whatever department it need to go to, that their last wishes be granted," says Zavala.

'Priority' pledge on Blackburn potholes
1:50pm Wednesday 19th December 2012 in News
HOUSEHOLDERS in East Park Avenue, Blackburn, have failed in a bid to get their road resurfaced — but have been promised keeping it in good repair will be a council priority.
A total of 16 residents of the street petitioned the borough over the state of the road surface through a letter sent to the town's MP Jack Straw.
They complained of loose flags and potholes on the pavements, the road surface being an eyesore and large volumes of traffic to the nearby St Mary's College on Shear Brown parking straddling the kerbs and footpaths.
The petitioners added that thee elderly residents had tripped and fallen on the uneven surfaces in recent months with one needing hospital treatment.
Blackburn with Darwen borough's executive board considered the petition and a report from highways officials at the end of last week.
But the members decided that the condition of the carriageway and pavements was not severe enough for a complete resurfacing.
The board also resolved that increasing the use of public transport by staff and students at the college was a priority to minimise further damage in the future.

There may be no scientific evidence to back this up, but the simple act of eating a home-cooked meal can just make people feel better.
The name of a new and unique cooking class is Testosterone in the Kitchen. It is just for men, but what they're cooking up may be surprising.
A couple of times a month a small group of men gather in the kitchen at the Argentine Community Center in Kansas City, KS. At first glance it's a cooking class.
But upon closer inspection, there's something simmering here that's much deeper than food.
"As grievers, men, we tend to kind of put those feelings down and we don't express them the way the ladies do, and we also don't reach out to other people for help," said Michael Campbell, a grief counselor.
Helping people move forward from their grief is Campbell's profession. He's a family therapist and a chaplain at Crossroads Hospice. The cooking class was his way of getting guys to open up about a painful loss.
"Even just a few minutes of conversation can be very impactful. Some guys will talk about how their wives died, what the disease process was. Sometimes they'll share some cancer stories, sometimes stories about their faith, the coping part of it and how they're doing now," Campbell said.
He says the key ingredient in getting men to talk about their grief is breaking bread together. Campbell said sharing the meal they just prepared allows for sincere conversation.
On one night, the men invited KCTV5's Brad Stephens to the table and he was honored to be their guest.
"At first it's weather and sports. After a while they start talking about their families and their feelings and about their lives and where they want to go from here," Campbell said.
To get involved with Testosterone in the Kitchen, RSVP to Michael Campbell by calling 913-850-7537. The class is free, but class size is limited to 10 people.
