WASHINGTON — The popular breakfast cereal Cheerios is a drug, at least if the claims manufacturer General Mills makes on the label are anything to go by, the Food and Drug Administration says.
"Based on claims made on your product's label, we have determined that your Cheerios Toasted Whole Grain Oat Cereal is promoted for conditions that cause it to be a drug," the FDA said in a letter to General Mills posted on the federal agency's Web site Tuesday.
Cheerios labels claim that eating the cereal can help lower bad cholesterol, a risk factor for coronary heart disease, by 4 percent in six weeks.
Citing a clinical study, the product labels also claim that eating two servings a day of Cheerios helps to reduce bad cholesterol when eaten as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, the FDA letter says.
Those claims indicate that Cheerios, which General Mills claims is the best-selling cereal in the United States, is intended to be used to lower cholesterol and prevent, lessen or treat the disease hypercholesterolemia, and to treat and prevent coronary heart disease.
"Because of these intended uses, the product is a drug," the FDA concluded in its letter.
In addition, Cheerios is a new drug because it has not been "recognized as safe and effective for use in preventing or treating hypercholesterolemia or coronary heart disease," the FDA said.
That means General Mills may not market Cheerios legally unless it applies for approval as a new drug or changes the way it labels the small, doughnut-shaped cereal, the FDA said.
General Mills defended the claims on Cheerios packaging, saying in a statement that Cheerios' soluble fiber heart health claim has been FDA-approved for 12 years, and that its "lower your cholesterol four percent in six weeks" message has been featured on the box for more than two years.
The FDA's quibble is not about whether Cheerios cereal is good for you but over "how the Cheerios cholesterol-lowering information is presented on the Cheerios package and website," said General Mills.
"We look forward to discussing this with FDA and to reaching a resolution."
Meanwhile, the FDA warned in its letter that, if General Mills fails to "correct the violations" on its labels, boxes of Cheerios could disappear from supermarket and wholesaler shelves around the United States and the company could face legal action.
One in eight boxes of cereal sold in the United States is a box of Cheerios, the company says. The cereal debuted on the U.S. market in 1941.

Ten Tried and True Cone 6 Glaze Recipes Available for Download!
Posted By Diana Pancioli On June 8, 2009 @ 8:10 am In Ceramic Glaze Recipes,Daily,Features,Mid Range Glaze Recipes | 28 Comments
Firing to mid-range, which includes cones 4-7, but most commonly cone 6, is increasingly popular these days. Some folks are reducing their firing temperature because they are thinking more about energy consumption from an environmental standpoint or a purely economical one. Others are just discovering the great potential of this firing range. So, we decided to put together a collection of cone 6 glaze recipes, packaged in a convenient recipe card format that can be printed, laminated (if you so choose) and taken into the studio. Today, I am presenting a couple of those tried and true cone 6 glazes from Diana Pancioli, but you can download (for FREE!!) the whole package on our free gifts page. – Jennifer Harnetty, editor.

Great location, great house, Hill House Midtown. Experience the pulse of an urban neighborhood in Austin Midtown. You are only 5-10 minutes to downtown, and also have the luxury of a spacious four bedroom, three bath home. The Brentwood/Violet Crown neighborhood is one of Austin's premier neighborhoods in Central Austin where you find great local restaurants, winebars, breweries, and unique clothing, furniture, and antique shops. The area is very convenient to The University of Texas and Seton Hospital and shopping areas including The Triangle, Central Market, and the latest shopping area, "Low-Burn". Enjoy Midtown entertainment at The Apothecary Winebar, Pinthouse Pizza, Phil's Icehouse/Amy's Ice-cream, Goodnight Bowling-Dining-Revelry, Alamo Draft House Theaters, Common Interest Karaoke, Ginny's Little Longhorn Saloon, and Slick Willies Billiards. Or, walk from the house to local Thunderbird Coffee to enjoy pastries, salad, coffee and local beer.
Built in the 1940's-50's, the traditional homes are interspersed with modern, architecturally stunning homes. This home was built in 1949 with the charm of hardwood floors and fantastic windows with the 2012 updates. The house has four bedrooms and three baths, living room, dining room, kitchen, front porch, back porch, upstairs porch, large fenced yard with patio, fenced side yard, laundry room and garage. You enter the living area with hardwood floors, windows on three sides, large wall-mounted flat screen Panasonic TV, computer area, modern sectional (comfy!) sofa and seating, and bar stools at a bar that over-looks the kitchen. Off the living room is a private suite area with two large beautiful bedrooms both with king beds, hardwood floors, large windows, ceiling fans and luxury bed linens. The suite shares a full bath with walk-in shower, custom vanity, mirror, and wardrobe, and designer lighting. The living area transitions into the large, fully-equipped kitchen with premium granite counters, glass mosaic tile back-splash, stainless appliances, and hardwoods. And did I mention the designer lighting…two matching art deco overhead lights and crystal sink pendant. The spacious, yet intimate, dining room is framed by large windows overlooking the landscaped side yard and lighted by a modern crystal chandelier. Just beyond the dining area is a third bedroom with queen bed and a full bath, private porch, and laundry room
On the second floor you enter the fourth bedroom, master suite. At the top of the staircase, there is a private upstairs balcony patio and just next to the bedroom you will find a rocker tucked into a reading nook. The master bedroom has a sofa and two-chair seating area, large wall-mounted flat screen TV, and modern area rug. There is a stately Texas king bed, huge closet and dressing area and attached en-suite master bath. The master bath has a walk-in shower with dual shower heads, granite counter double sink vanity and custom mirrors. Additional house amenities include ceiling fans in all bedrooms and living room, hotel-quality linens, WiFi, security system, and patio with propane grill.
I've lived in Austin since 1973 and l love to call Austin our home. My husband and I enjoy living in central Austin and know that you will have a fantastic experience in this central Austin home. The best part of this business is meeting our wonderful guests.
A few years ago my husband and I were looking for a business that we would enjoy when we decided to retire. We decided to convert long-term rentals to short term rentals. We now have 3 properties and manage a fourth. We are founding members of the Austin Rental Alliance (ARA), a group of responsible Austin vacation rental owners. The best part of this business is the variety of guests that we have hosted. Our goal is to offer a uniquely Austin experience in a wonderfully inviting home environment. With our retirement plans still on the horizon, we could not be happier with our choice to offer ourselves as your hosts.
Cindy Hill purchased this house in 2012
Our daughter, a two-time Austin Chronicle design winner, helped us transform a 1950 home to create a beautiful ambiance with hardwoods and tile, designer lighting and fixtures, comfortable hip furnishings, plus all the extras.
If you are looking for an authentic Austin experience..you've found the right place.
This home is in an urban area close to local restaurants, coffee shops, bars/wine cafes/brewpubs, theaters and other entertainment including bowling, karaoke, ice skating, roller skating, live theater, cinema theater, billiards, country western dancing. The house is located within minutes of The Triangle and 'Low Burn' for hip shopping and the Domain and Arboretum for retail shopping. The University of Texas ans Seton Hospital are also conveniently located in this area. Laguna Gloria and Elizabeth Net museums are close to the house. Downtown is about 5-10 minutes from the house.

Neil Koehler, Pacific Ethanol's CEO, stated, "During the third quarter, Pacific Ethanol used sorghum for approximately 30 percent of the feedstock at our Stockton plant. Blended with corn, sorghum has similar conversion properties to corn and produces even lower carbon ethanol."
Chromatin is exploring other opportunities to grow sorghum grain in California and expects to expand its production in 2013.
About Chromatin, Inc.

Well as some of you may know my 09 WRX suffered the dreaded rod knock and bearing failure. After approaching Subaru they would not provide me with warranty because they could tell the vehicle had been previously modified.
So at 60,000 kms that leaves me with new (ish) car with a screwed engine!... I thought I would start this thread as I begin to rebuild the engine and hopefully I can count on the expertise of people on this forum to answer any questions I may have along the way.
Plans for the car are as follows:...
EJ257 Shortblock
EJ255 Heads (assuming mine are still in good condition)
Aftermarket TMIC or FMIC
Open source tune
Stage 2 clutch (exedy / ACT)
Anyone see fault in my plans thus far???
I would prefer not to rebuild the full engine myself and having a prebuilt shortblock should reduce the risk of possible failures.
Many pictures to come!

"This monkey bread was delicious! It was more prep work than I thought, but it was well worth it as a Sunday morning breakfast. We omitted the pecans (husband is allergic) and even without the sauce was thick, buttery and so good. Highly recommend. Just be sure to read the whole recipe to get an idea of timing and to give yourself plenty of time ""

Mom laughed. It was an event.
It happened two weeks ago, during a visit from two of my sisters and me. Joan, her eldest daughter, was coaxing out a little cheer with a quick round of peek-a-boo. We saw the corners of Mom's mouth turn up, and her belly shook with a couple of quiet giggles.
Not that long ago, she was virtually always distinguished by her twinkling eyes and omnipresent smile, a demeanor my sister Betsy describes as vivacious. She was indeed.
Mom's smile is gone most of the time now, but sometimes I can get her to almost let one rip when I stop in to see her every few days at the superb care facility where she lives in Romeoville. Those are good days.
Usually, she displays the appearance one might expect in a person whose memories — the collection of joys, sorrows and life experiences that weave the tapestry of a life — began relentlessly draining away several years ago. That was when Mom, my siblings and I heard the dreaded diagnosis.
Certainly she's not alone. Right now, some 5.2 million others in the U.S. and their families are living with the merciless cruelty of Alzheimer's disease too. According to the Alzheimer's Association, a new case rears its hideous head every 67 seconds. If you took part in Naperville's awareness- and fundraising walk last weekend, you probably know that.
One of 638 walks taking place nationwide this fall, the event was a huge success, almost reaching its $277,000 goal as ofThursday morning, before the cash donated Sunday at the walk in Benedetti-Wehrli Stadium was added into the total (the lines are still open, by the way, in case you haven't yet gotten around to supporting that person you know who was among the 1,427 walkers there on Sunday; just go to act.alz.org/naperville2014).
"It was an awesome walk. It was one of our best," said Mickey Peterson, manager of special events for the regional Alzheimer's Association, who lives in Plainfield and oversees the walks in Kankakee, Naperville and Joliet — that one'sSaturday morning, in case you're not doing anything.
Here's the thing: this nightmarish disease has so many nefarious tentacles. It hits caregivers, taxpayers and families with indiscriminate malice. If you're a numbers person, consider these Association stats:
In Illinois, around 210,000 people are living with the disease.
Between now and 2025, that number is projected to increase 24 percent.
Deaths attributed to Alzheimer's climbed 68 percent between 2000 and 2010, as the tolls exacted by other major diseases decreased.
It's the only cause of death among the nation's top 10 that can't be prevented, cured or even slowed down.
The national health care bill generated by Alzheimer's is now about $214 billion.
That figure is expected to hit $1.2 trillion by the middle of the century.
Almost 60 percent of those caring for people with Alzheimer's and other kinds of dementia rate the emotional stress of the task as high or very high.
More than one-third of those caregivers report symptoms of depression.
About 587,000 Illinois residents provided the equivalent of $8.3 billion in unpaid care to loved ones living with Alzheimer's last year.
Eventually, those care providers will incur $350 million in health care costs of their own stemming directly from the physical strain and emotional toll of their toil.
Money can change that. Some truly exciting advances are being made by researchers now, the sort of discoveries that allow me to hope my kids won't have to develop this horrible condition when they're Mom's age.
There's hope there. Over the past few years, it has seemed to me that the walks' emphasis on awareness has helped build understanding of the urgent need to raise funds. I asked Peterson if she also thought that was happening.
"I do, because we exceeded (the nationwide) goal. We did very well this year," she said, stressing that the association is big on research. "We can't do it without funds. We can't do it without the donations."
Now, I understand this isn't the only vastly underfunded incurable medical condition. My brother's best friend succumbed to ALS a few years ago, and it can't be denied that it's a vicious and horrific fate. The estimated 30,000 Americans suffering from it right now certainly didn't deserve such an awful sentence. Funding for research toward a cure for ALS also has been unjustly scarce — at least, until people starting dumping bucketsful of ice on themselves on camera. Launched at a moment when nearly everyone is plugged into social media, this was an attention-grabbing stroke of genius. In a span of eight short weeks, the idea translated to a $115 million shot in the arm for the cause, and furnished priceless new awareness of the nasty condition.
Now let's see if we can work similar magic for the many people impacted by Alzheimer's.
No ice required.

The Bicycle Film Festival is returning this week and it is going to be quite the party with films, music performances and art exhibits, oh my!
Tomorrow is opening night and it's being kicked off with a performance from Hungry March Band in the Sarah D. Roosevelt Park at 6 (yeah, they're the guys who played in the ocean at last year's Mermaid Parade , which is also this weekend).Or you can head over to South Street Seaport for a free show featuring the The Teenagers and The John Spencer Blues Explosion.
For the next four days, festival-goers will be burdened with the task of picking and choosing which one of the many events they want to go to. Thursday will be a Joyride between four SoHo galleries, each hosting a multimedia exhibit inspired by the bicycle. Maps will be available at each location.
Each day will have different viewings of collections of shorts about the bicycle. Subjects range from building bikes to celebrating bikes to bike journeys. There will be a few world premieres of feature length films, including 'Where Are You Go,' about the world's longest bike race around Africa, 'I Love My Bicycle: The Story of FBM Bikes,' chronicaling the 15 year reign of a beloved DIY bike apparel company, and 'The Third Wheel,' about the Pedicab industry. Each program costs $10.
Throughout the festival there will also be a handful of street fairs, parades and picnics. Each day closes with an after party, but the big finale will be on June 22nd at Lit Lounge. Starting at 10 and going to 4, bike lovers can celebrate by shaking it to tunes DJed by Peaches! Really, what's not to love? -Celeste

No Chinese New Year cookies?
37 comments:
So simple as that and great taste as well? I am as surprised and delighted for your recipe.
ReplyDeleteI love thgose chicken biscuits - Kampar's best...but so expensive for a few miserable bits and pieces. Hmmm...yours don't have those finger prints... LOL!!!
ReplyDeleteWow! Been a while since I last had this, dare not buy from the shops here as some might have been kept too long and will have a stale smell....great to know that the recipe is so simple...will pin it for future reference:D Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing these lovely chicken biscuit recipe, can always finish one whole bag by myself.
ReplyDeleteI love these biscuits, often buy them if we pass by Bidor. As you said, this is a really easy recipe... shd give it a go when I have some time.
ReplyDeleteAs you can see Chinese food is a delicious and healthy cuisine to enjoy throughout the year! You'll also find that with the right Chinese recipes and instructions that Chinese cooking is very easy to learn.
midway airport pizza deliveryNow why are they called chicken biscuits?? Wish I could buy the ingredients here they sound yummy. Take care Diane
ReplyDeleteI have the same question as Diane...why do they call them 'chicken biscuits'?...do you eat them with chicken, or chicken soup? I do love the sweet and savory ingredients in these biscuits/cookies. They would certainly be awesome with a hot cup of tea at night, or in the afternoon!
Veronica, thank you for your sweet and kind caring words in your previous comments. Hugs,RepliesElisabeth, so happy to see you commenting again. Miss you. No, we do not eat these biscuits with chicken or chicken soup nor there is any chicken in them. I asked many old people the same question but they too have no answer to it. Maybe next time when I am in Bidor, I will go ask the people in that famous shop and they might be able to give me an answer.
Hi, Quay Po. Didn't know that we can homemade these "chicken biscuits." My gf who had just come back from Malaysia has given me a pack of this but I still haven't opened it. The shop in Bidor was owned by my gf's friend but I only went there once more than a decade ago to have the duck leg noodles which is said a famous dish in Bidor. Bidor is very close to my hometown, Teluk Intan, 30 mins drive.
ReplyDeleteQuay Po, I haven't had this biscuit for ages! I tasted it once when my university room mate brought it back from her hometown. Now I realise that there is no chicken in the ingredients. Wonder why it is called chicken biscuit.
ReplyDeleteAhh..haven't had it for a long time. Used to eat it when I was young. By the way, heard your son's interview on Capital FM the other day. He's really a sweet son. Smooth voice too. You must be so proud. And I was waiting for you to be mentioned in the interview. Your son said you are more famous than him actually..lol. Take care..
ReplyDeleteRepliesCarolyn, long time no see. Hope all is well with you and family. I am sure this biscuits bring back childhood memories for many of us, especially Malaysian. Oh, you got to listen in Nick's interview on Capital FM? I just caught the last part so I did not hear him said I was more famous than him. LOL!
Using fermented beancurd and dark soy sounds interesting ! I bet these savoury biscuits tastes yummy :)
ReplyDeleteOh, these are my favourite cookies when I was a kid, I always ask my mum to buy it for me from the street stall in Hong Kong. It does have lots of oil and I love your low-fat version.
ReplyDeleteThese biscuits look wonderful. I love that I can see the sesame seed throughout the cookies. Must be delicious. Interesting to see dark soy sauce in these beauties. That must be the "secret ingredient"! :)
ReplyDeleteI love these biscuits too! Yum! From my understanding, "鸡仔饼" (ji zai bing or chicken biscuits) was originally known as "小凤饼" (xiao feng bing) because it was first created by a servant called "Xiao Feng". "鸡"(chicken) can be beautifully known as "凤"(phoenix) too and since it was started as the chicken brand logo, it is gradually known as "鸡仔饼 (ji zai bing or chicken biscuits).
Hope this infor helps :)

hi all, ok, its small 8' x 10' and 43'' between refrigerator door and cabinet opposite, hope some of you were sitting down when you just read that. its worked for me and its what I'm working with. I've picked out shaker door cabs in a cider maple finish and will extend red oak floor from small, theres that word again eating area into kitchen. I've really fallen for a marble mosaic backsplash. my choice for countertop would be absolute black granite which would also pop up on the 12'' between stove and refrigerator and the top of the cab in the corner. stainless steel sink. my question(s) then are what color appliances. stainless to match the sink? white to pick up the marble. black to pick up the countertop. is white too jarring with the black poking up here and there? should i just switch to a lighter/white granite counter top and go that route with white appliances? wall color is leaning to pale sages. thanks for your time, advice(other than to just move) and thoughts. dave |

Beautiful cabinet color. I'd personally go with the black counters and stainless appliances, as long as you understand they won't be easy to keep fingerprint-free. |
I would go with stainless appliances. |

Everything sounds nice for your space. Same response here -- go stainless. It will reflect light so will help to lighten the kitchen. Also agree with prior posters that like the black counters with your wood cabinets. By the way, enjoyed your running commentary. You have quite the sense of humor. |
I too like stainless with the wooden cabs and black countertops! My kitchen is almost the same but I only have about 36" for an aisle between the cabinet runs. We chose the same look for just about everything, except I chose Ikea white shaker cabinets and a black stone look resilient vinyl tile floor. My counters will be Black Alicante laminate, which looks like a black marble or soapstone. I'm on a small budget! I agree about the stainless being tough to keep fingerprint free, especially if you have kids. We have excellent taste! :) Mine should be done next week (except the backsplash) if the counters come in and I'll post pics then. |

many thanks to you all for your thoughtful replies. your input has helped me decide, stainless steel appliances it will be. glad you enjoyed my attempts at humor, texasgal, I've found it's really helped to be able laugh every now and then during this kitchen project. |
I believe I learned it here - try wd40 for cleaning stainless steel. It works! |
I love the color of green. My favorite paint is benjamin moore. They now have an eggshell finish that is washable. I put it in my bathroom--it does clean well. I will be using it again in my kitchen. One of my favorite green colors is Classic Khaki from ben moore. |

Levein hits out at referee
13 May 2009 - 09:55:16
Dundee United boss Craig Levein has accused referee Stuart Dougal of arrogance following his side's 2-1 defeat by Celtic.
Levein had a pitchside confrontation with the official after he refused to allow Terrors defender Lee Wilkie to receive treatment for a knee injury.
"He (Dougal) lost his composure, stuck his finger in my face and told me to shut up," fumed Levein.
"It wasn't acceptable. In all my time in football, no other referee has ever done that.
"I have lost all respect for him after the way he spoke to me.
"If it happened in the pub on a Saturday night to any of you guys, the guy would have got a punch in the face.
"I asked him why he didn't stop the play for Lee Wilkie to get treatment and I don't think that is unreasonable.
"If you were Lee Wilkie and you had been out of the game for three years, you would be upset.
"It is compounded by the fact that he wouldn't let anyone come on, he didn't believe him.
"If he wants to look at the stud mark above Lee's shin he can do that."

you gotta get this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
By: shirley shoen (Mar 28, 2012)
I always enjoy the opportunity to stop at a juice bar for a great fresh shot or double shot of wheatgrass unfortunately there are way to few places locally (especially in Niagara County) to get fresh wheatgrass shots. I happen to be surfing the web after a stop at a great juice bar in Canada hoping to find more local spots that I might not aware of. I happened across Living Light. I called Eric and order 24 frozen shots and they are AMAZING!!!! he harvests one day and juices that same day, then immediately freezes the shots! So you have a fresh shot at your fingertips. We all know the health benenfits. But to have it that fresh!! next step is to talk to Eric about juicing myself. You must call him you won't be sorry!! and your body will thank you. Live LIGHT!!

Instant Gratification: United Bamboo Spring 08
It wouldn't be any fun if we stuck with cardinal rule of only covering the season most recently shown during fashion week. That is, we think there's value in all kinds of fashion coverage, and we think our readers can navigate the differences. Yes, the United Bamboo Spring 08 collection was shown during New York fashion week last September, but now you can finally wear it and no matter how closely you follow fashion, everyone can agree that immediacy is a treat that's occasionally nice to indulge in. This Coutorture video, taken from the Unted Bamboo show, has us really excited for Summer. United Bamboo, known for it's structural details, showed a softer side for Spring 08 that kept to nudes and basic, preppy garments. This (though it never stuns the crowds at fashion week) is the reason the brand is so coveted by downtown artists and fashionistas. Something about its sense of architecture and origami, combined with a slightly American version of prep-school chic, make for a range that feels effortlessly cool season after season.

Geographic variation in vulnerability to climate warming in a tropical Caribbean lizard

- behavioural thermoregulation;
- global change;
- Puerto Rico;
- thermal ecology;
- whole-organism performance
1. Rising global temperatures are predicted to impact organisms in diverse ways. For ectotherms, recent broad-scale analyses have predicted global patterns of vulnerability to warming, with tropical species at higher risk of detrimental effects than temperate species. However, vulnerability results from complex interactions between environment, physiology and behaviour. For species that inhabit a diversity of habitat types, these interactions may change across their range.
2. We measured operative thermal environments (Te) and body temperatures (Tb) of the tropical Caribbean lizard Anolis cristatellus at nine sites representing two habitat types: mesic and xeric forest. The thermal sensitivity of whole-organism physiological performance (i.e. sprint speed) of one mesic and one xeric population was also measured. Thermal and performance data were integrated to determine how habitat thermal variation, behavioural thermoregulation and thermal physiology influence current physiological performance capacity in the field. We then evaluate if habitat suitability and physiological capacity would change assuming climate warming of 3 °C over the next century.
3. The mean Te of the xeric habitat was 4·5 °C warmer than that of the mesic habitat. However, behavioural thermoregulation by xeric lizards led to lesser differences in Tb (3·5 °C) between habitat types. The thermal sensitivity of sprint performance was similar for mesic and xeric lizards, and lizards from both habitats maintain sprint capacities near 100%. Climate warming is predicted to influence mesic and xeric lizards differently. Xeric lizards currently live in a thermal environment near their upper temperature threshold, while mesic lizards do not. As a result, the number of suitable perch sites is predicted to decrease dramatically in the xeric but not the mesic habitat. In addition, the physiological capacity of mesic lizards is predicted to increase by approximately 4%, whereas a decrease of approximately 30% is predicted for xeric lizards.
4. We characterized variation in the current biophysical and ecophysiological conditions experienced by A. cristatellus by integrating fine-scale measurements of thermal microhabitats with data on body temperatures and physiological performance capacities. These data allowed us to explicitly demonstrate how variation in these parameters can influence population susceptibility to climate warming across a species range and highlight the utility of a mechanistic approach in studies of global climate change.

David Suzuki: After a decade of controversy, has anything changed at B.C. salmon farms?
The David Suzuki Foundation and others have run ads over the past decade decrying British Columbia's open net-cage salmon farm industry. With significant expansion planned for the West Coast, the question remains: has B.C.'s salmon farm industry improved?
Salmon farming threatens some of the planet's last remaining viable wild salmon—a keystone species that touches all our coastal ecosystems. The issues in dispute include feed ingredients, disease transmission between farms and wild salmon, bird and marine mammal deaths, pesticide and antibiotic use, and the effects of multiple farms in concentrated areas.
The Monterey Bay Aquarium's Seafood Watch program recently released science-based ranking reports on open net-cage farmed salmon in B.C., Norway, Chile, and Scotland. All received a "red" or "avoid buying" designation. Canada's SeaChoice followed suit.
More than 90 percent of migrating juvenile salmon die before returning to freshwater to spawn, most in the first months after entering the ocean. Pathogens may be a significant factor, although not all specifics about diseases are fully known.
Justice Bruce Cohen's Commission of Inquiry investigating the decline of Fraser River sockeye included pathogen risk—along with habitat loss, predation and contaminant exposure—as a factor in the 2009 sockeye collapse. Disease from salmon farms is one risk to wild salmon that can be controlled.
Salmon farming shouldn't be done at the expense of wild salmon. Both wild- and farmed-salmon industries provide fish and create economic activity, but the province's sports and commercial wild salmon fisheries and marine tourism contribute more to B.C.'s economy and quality of life than salmon farming.
Employment, revenue generation, and food creation are important, but so are preserving wild salmon and protecting the environment for our children and grandchildren.
Aquaculture must stop using the ocean as a free waste-treatment system. Closed-containment—in the ocean or on land—is better at controlling water and removing feces and chemicals like antibiotics and pesticides used for sea lice.
One B.C. open net-cage company lost over $200 million in one year because of disease, enough to build 10 closed-containment farms. Yet the industry claims closed alternatives cost too much.
Although the salmon farm industry has decreased pesticide use, improved parasite management, and reduced feed waste and wild fish used for feed, it hasn't eliminated the problems. Continuing threats to wild salmon and the environment prevent us from supporting expansion of the industry or advising people to eat ocean-farmed salmon.
Despite the risks, last year the federal government quietly opened the door to expand B.C.'s aquaculture industry. Thirteen applications for new or larger farms along the coast have been submitted. Fish farm expansion avoids the bigger question: what kind of economic development is best for our coastal ecosystems?
As Justice Cohen said, more federal research into the effects of fish farms on wild salmon stocks is critical. We need to address this research gap, along with the lack of availability and transparency of data from farming operations, before allowing the industry to expand.
A promising partnership between Genome British Columbia, the Pacific Salmon Foundation, and Fisheries and Oceans Canada to discover the microbes that may cause disease in B.C.'s wild salmon and hinder their ability to reproduce could provide answers. But those answers don't yet exist.
The fish farming industry is making efforts. In 2013, a farm in Norway was the first to be certified by the Aquaculture Stewardship Council. Although certification doesn't fully address the risk to wild salmon, it indicates which farms are best operated and includes requirements to consider cumulative impacts. It is not a signal that the entire industry is free to expand.
Closed-containment systems, which have fewer impacts on the environment and wild fish, are also growing. The Namgis First Nation on northeastern Vancouver Island recently starting shipping its first closed-containment "Kuterra" Atlantic salmon to Safeway stores in B.C. and Alberta.
The aquaculture industry could also improve environmental performance by producing food such as scallops, mussels, tilapia, and seaweed that are a lower risk to the environment and use less feed and chemicals.
Our coastal waters are rich in opportunity. They can contribute to food security and community resilience without open net-cage salmon farms. Unless we chart a sound course, salmon will lose—but so will we, and the bears, eagles, and magnificent coastal forests that support so much life.
Eventually (this week) the reports were published and had turned 'Red'… The SeafoodIntelligence.com investigation (April 23, 2014 – http://is.gd/SFW_OpLetter ) reveals in detail some of the issues and concerns…
A lot of so-called "wild" salmon would not – and could not – exist if it weren't for aquaculture; particularly in the Pacific NorthWest. When it comes to Alaska salmon which is generically considered "wild" — but not truly so for about a third. We reveal in detail (and quantifies for some of them) the common indicators which can be used to assess the 'sustainability' of both farmed and (Alaska, but also Russian, Japanese, Canadian & other Pacific NW) hatchery salmon, and questions why this isn't being 'done'.
We found that the SAME antibiotics are used in Alaska hatcheries, that THOUSANDS of TONNES (we provide figures based on exclusive data communicated by ADF&G) of commercial fish feed are (+/- imported) used yearly in Alaska hatcheries, that salmon hatcheries are almost entirely 'open' 'flow-through' systems, that disease do occur and are being transmitted also by hatcheries; and cites some of the dozens of hatchery salmon vs. (truly) wild salmon interactions and concerns most-often ignored etc;, etc… You can ask yourself 'why?' are these topics not discussed in North America media.
Many 'answers' reside in avoiding simplistic 'wild vs. farmed' / 'closed vs. open' debates, and simplistic answers, asking the right questions, and having an open/flexible mind. When it comes to closed-containment, there are many answered questions about the very high environmental carbon footprints costs & impacts. Furthermore, one of the largest & most recent farmed salmon escape incident in BC was related to a so-called "closed-contained" installation…
There is no silver bullet…
And there is the issue of salmon conservation, advisories and how they are funded…
Don't get me wrong: the various environmental impacts of aquaculture absolutely cannot — and should not — be diminished nor under-played. But EQUAL stringency/scrutiny must apply to assessing environmental impacts of fisheries & aquaculture, in BC and elsewhere.
Bertrand Charron / SeafoodIntelligence.com Editor
And is this another brother named David Suzuki, or "the" David Suzuki? Because even as an environmentalist by avocation, not vocation - I would be embarrassed to say that I idolized someone who'd sell out to what is an abomination of chemical, parasitic, viral proportions with international impact singly driven by greed.
On the bright side, this proves that one can not rely on figureheads and we must fight the good fight ourselves if we are to protect a fragile and precious phenomenon, the wild salmonid. To hell with you, Mr.Suzuki.
Lots and all for the good.
What hasn't changed is the Seafood Watch's mandate to attack anything that isn't American.
Oh, and the photo used in this article hasn't changed in 20 years either-that pretty well sums up this opinion piece - - dated.
Mark Hume in the GLobe and Mail says:
"If the early signals are correct, the Fraser River could have the biggest salmon run in B.C. history this summer, with up to 72 million sockeye returning."
Now these would be the offspring of the huge and UNEXPECTED run that occured in 2010 right in the middle of the Cohen deliberations. Just because a professinal activist says something is evil, doesnt mean we understand what is going on in the ocean.
BC should stop waiting on the Federal DFO and fund its own research into just what is going on with respect to salmon farms AND with respect to wild salmon.
You can't keep drumming the 'sea lice' meme in the middle of a huge contradiction data like 2010 sockeye returns(somewhere around 30 million fish) . Understanding these animals is far more important than demonizing salmon farmers with unproven allegations.
All I'm saying is be truthful to yourself and look at the issues without being blinded by spins of which you may or not be aware of, and which -ultimately - may have less to do with protecting 'truly wild' fish then they seem; and in fact could very well endanger them. At least this deserves to be investigated, and you may start to understand why there is so much historical polarization over the debate. There is plenty said and done about farmed salmon (including the industry's responses & progress), a lot less is conveniently said about the 'wild' side, even though there are also plenty of concerns about those industries. The world's salmon fisheries didn't collapse or decreased as a result of climate change... but due to anthropogenic actions [incl. fishing].
If you do need further examples (from eg. a legal perspective) as to why hatchery fish can't be considered "wild" and can even endanger "[truly] wild fish; check out the "giant win" obtained last week (April 25, 2014) in U.S. federal courts by the Wild Fish Conservancy as it settled with the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) re. the Puget Sound hatchery programs.
If you cared to look and think a bit more, you would find also many other concerns.
Finally, if you are so concerned about the environment, I am sure you will stop driving your car, eat fish & foods harvested by methods using fuel engines using your PC, wearing clothes imported from Asia, and consuming fossil energies, among many other things...
No artificially colored and flavored finless pellet pout which you call a fish could ever be called wild.
You'd better check your dixie cup, that kool-aid may be purple. While you're at it, check for sealice, virual infections and waste effluent.
Perhaps it's because my blinding passion for the welfare of wild salmon and steelhead juxtaposes obliquely with your rather complex writing style.
To be honest, I'm an educated man but in re-reading your posts I come away unsure as to what you are really saying about aquaculture, wild salmonids, or my better than average "green" living habits.
Just what is your position on the impact of aquaculture on not only wild but native anadromous salmonid strains in the Pacific Northwest? Is it detrimental or somehow beneficial?
Please clarify, thank you.
My 'agenda' as a journalist is clear: I strive to help filling the 'knowledge gap' and enable access to reliable, objective & up-to-date information. Because I follow the corporate, politics, economy & trade, cultural and marketing attitudes etc.. daily, I am aware of the multi-faceted dimensions & interests which come into play when 'salmon' is being discussed.
I believe that all stakeholders have to consider short-/long-term environmental, social, economic & community impacts. I also believe that aquaculture (salmon farming in particular) is often unfairly singled out by critics (and this often influences the sector's depiction by the media) who do not put in perspective and compare/benchmark the various environmental impacts/footprints by/between the different agri-food producing industries, among many other man-produced products. We all consume their products and we are thus all ultimately & partly responsible.
So to answer (a massive topic, Cohen etc...) – re. my position on PacificNW aquaculture impacts: there are indeed some; which must be constantly monitored, debated & diminished. But they can – also (but sometimes NOT) - be negligible when considering other anthropogenic impacts (incl. any/all urban developments, transport, farming). Every single house has a significant footprint on the local environment & biodiversity (without even factoring what the LCAs of its components); so do villages, towns & cities… we all… etc…
Basically: there is no single black & white good/bad answers & 'demonization' is ultimately counter-productive for those truly concerned re. 'wild' salmonids and/or environment at-large. Assuming so deflects scrutiny from other impact-causing activities.
Things change every day. Aquaculture, agriculture… humans are here to stay (we hope, but…). What's important is to ensure their activities are as sustainable as possible. They must be monitored, criticized & praised as per achievements
Bringing everything down to a Y/N good/bad 140-charachter viewpoint can be reductive. Rating entire countries/regions industries according to non-transparent and oft-biased standards is reductive and don't reflect the many different 'realities'.
It would be time for a lot of people to take a step back and think it through. Of course, 'easier said than done' compounded by a natural 'not in my backyard' feeling. That's very understandable.
But there are many promising endeavours which help in a transparency and sustainability journey/ When it comes to salmon farming eco-certification: one really ought to read the WWF-backed Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC - http://www.asc-aqua.org )'s Salmon Standards. While not perfect, they are so much more stringent and demanding from an environmental & CSR viewpoint (incl. making timely public disclosures) than anything else out there (incl. Seafood Watch's assessments) applied to salmon... wild-caught or farmed.
Anyway, all that to say that "diametrically opposed" positions can have a lot in common when you truly put your mind to it...
Would you not want to know what are the environmental impacts that those thousands of tonnes of fish feed used annually in Alaska and throughout the Pacific Northwest hatcheries have on the global & local environments? Would you not want to know what is 'going into' that feed (as exemplified by the melamine crisis) and where it comes from and at what costs to other fisheries? Would you not like to know that the 'wild' fish roaming your beautiful rivers require substantial use of antibiotics and/or other chemicals; or not? etc...
Do you also not know that in many countries, labelling a product "wild" when in fact it is "farmed" can be construed as being 'misleading' to consumers and 'unfair'... Where does that leave 'hatchery/aquaculture' salmon used in enhanced fisheries but later wild-caught? Legally, they are not the same salmon as "wild" ones, as several U.S. federal courts have ruled...
Don't consumers have a 'right to know' as well, just as they do when it comes to farmed salmon... an endeavour over which millions or US$ are spent yearly for?
Don't you really want to know what all the issues at stake truly are or should we all remain in a simplistic and dichotomous - and now starting to date very much - frame of mind...?
Is all this not worth mentioning and/or looking into?
Let's be fair, shall we...?
My position is quite simply that native salmon and steelhead are tethering on the brink and we can't afford to add exotic species, pesticides to combat parasitic explosions, viral outbreaks, un-treated effluents equivalent to a human population of 40 thousand people per average aquaculture operation, escapement by the millions, etc - to accelerate a falsely qualified demand driven by low price low quality product which is perpetuated by raping the seas of forage to generate feed.
Without any question, we are infinitely more capable of building houses and driving cars without causing the genocide of species than we are through greed-driven exploitation of marine habitat with horrendous side effects.

Radnor Hunt Concours d'Elegance debuts 'Powered by Ford' class

The Radnor Hunt Concours d'Elegance, held on the grounds of America's oldest fox-hunting club in Malvern, Pennsylvania, is celebrating its 18th year in 2014, and this year's list of categories includes one particularly broad in scope. "Powered by Ford," new for the 2014 event, aims to highlight classic vehicles with Blue-Oval brand engines, including Sunbeam Tigers, De Tomaso Panteras, Shelby Cobras, Iso Grifos and TVR Griffiths.
Ford engines, especially Ford V-8s, have found their way into some of the world's most famous performance cars because of their reputation for high-performance, reliability, and bang-for-the-buck. Since Ford engines have seen duty in such a large population of vehicles, the Powered by Ford class should offer lots of variety, and there's a good chance the category will feature more than just sports cars. According to concourse rules, there could even be crossover between the Powered by Ford class and the Formula One Grid class, as Ford's long-term partnership with Cosworth (which stretched from 1966 until 2004) powered a multitude of Formula One cars over the years, delivering 176 Formula One victories.
Other featured classes for 2014 are Classic Chrysler and HRD Vincent Motorcycles, and expected entries include a 1962 Facel Vega Facel II, a 1936 Chrysler Imperial C-10 Airflow, a 1955 Chrysler Imperial convertible prototype, a LeBaron-bodied 1937 Chrysler C-15 Town Car built for Walter P. Chrysler's wife, and a 1955 Chrysler Imperial convertible prototype built for Chrysler chairman K.T. Keller.
With an imposed limit of just 100 vehicles, the Radnor Hunt Concours d'Elegance certainly isn't the largest event on the East Coast, but what the show lacks in quantity it makes up for in quality. As with most concours d'elegance events, proceeds go to benefit charity, in this case the Thorncroft Equestrian Center, which teaches horseback riding and develops therapeutic programs for those with special needs.
The Radnor Hunt Concours d'Elegance will take place on Sunday, September 14, on the grounds of Radnor Hunt in Malvern, Pennsylvania. Events are planned for the Friday and Saturday preceding the show as well; for complete details, visit RadnorConcours.org.
TVR dead. Deader.
On July 11, English magazine Autocar published a brief interview with reclusive no-longer-boy billionaire TVR owner Nikolai Smolenski, and he confirmed that TVR is over for good. Smolenski told them that after building three test cars, "A Tuscan Mk2 convertible with a 400bhp Corvette LS3 engine; a Cerbera powered by a BMW twin-turbo V8 diesel; and a GT350 powered by a 100kW electric motor," he's done with building cars. "They all worked well, but the costs were high," he told Autocar. "We would have to sell them at between £100,000 and £200,000, which was too high to make sense."
Instead, he'll be applying the TVR name to some sort of wind turbine boondoggle, which…which we couldn't care less about. What we do care about is that he has no plans to sell the name (although he's indicated that huge piles of money would change his mind), and firmly intends to retire TVR from carmaking, forever.
Comments are telling me some people don't get TVR. Here's everything I loved about it, in nine minutes of 'I can't believe someone made this car' beauty.
At the Carlisle Import show
My May calendar is always marked with the dates of the Carlisle import show. It's one event I try never to miss, a gathering of interesting imports from around the eastern United States. This year, Mark McCourt and I packed up the mighty Hemmings Ford Flex and headed south for the Keystone State, knowing that we'd encounter great cars, a bunch of friends of Hemmings, a swap meet filled with stuff that might have to come home with us, and Stoltzfus Pennsylvania Dutch shoo-fly pie, which has become something of a tradition for us. (Please don't tell our HMO.)
One of the things that makes Carlisle so much fun, in addition to the wide array of foreign cars on display, is the social nature of the show. Carlisle is welcoming to clubs, a number of which hold regional or national meets in conjunction with the show (like the North American Spitfire Squadron's Spit-Together, shown above. The distinctive green Spitfire nearest the camera we recognize as Paul Geithner's, by the way.) That means that, instead of sitting by themselves behind their cars all day, car owners are likely to be congregating under their club's pop-up tent. Even if you're not a member of the club, you're likely to be welcomed in and offered a chair, and, likely as not, something cold to drink. It's pretty great.
New time, place for national TVR meet
The TVR Car Club North America, the largest U.S. club for fans of the hand-built sports cars from Blackpool, England, will hold its national event in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, on September 26 and 27. The event, Out of the Woodwork 2008, is returning to its roots as a stand-alone show, after being held in conjunction with the import and kit car show in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, for the past two years.
The meet takes place at Washington's Crossing Historic Park, on the banks of the scenic Delaware River, a spot that organizers say is large enough to accommodate bigger crowds in future years. Thursday is for early arrivals; on Friday, a Covered Bridges Driving Tour will leave the host hotel, the Sheraton Bucks County Hotel, around 11 a.m. On Saturday, the club will hold its people's choice car show in Washington's Crossing Historic Park, with awards presented in various TVR classes and additional classes for other marques. The club's auction takes place on Saturday night, after the banquet.
The show is open to TVRCCNA members and their guests, and is a must for anyone who's interested in these endearing and characterful sports cars. For the first time, the club is offering its members a one-price ticket to cover both the banquet and car registration. The club has also arranged a special rate for members at the Sheraton. For more information, visit www.tvrccna.org.

Exit Peugeot
Last summer, I posted a bit one of my favorite mechanical poems, The Young Aviator. In Part II of our extended mechanical poetry series, we present Exit Peugeot, a very dark rumination on their closing of the historic Ryton-on-Dunsmore factory last spring (that's the former Sunbeam plant, for those in the know). Somewhere, TVR workers are raising a glass in sympathy.
Exit Peugeot
The shuddering, groan as yet another decaying life-force
slowly seeps into the history of this ravaged city
reverberates throughout the region.
This industry giant's cavernous, gaping mouth
that once incessantly fed on loyalty, sweat and toil
now spews out the dry bones of its workforce
picked clean of hope and possibilities.
Husks of workers united in a common cause
fundamental to their existence
drift across barren communities
stirred into clusters by the rancid hot air of politics and finance.
After grazing on fat pastures of foreign fields
this once insatiable beast now
seeks the more palatable taste of progress
liberally seasoned with profit instead of humanity.
Lumbering and empty it leaves industry's table
its parting gift another scar on the city's face
that only time will gradually fade.

Please, no: The TVR McRiley
It just never, ever, EVER, ends. At the same time that Nikiboy Shellywinterski announced plans for a–get this–Bugatti Veyron competitor, word comes via PistonHeads from The Blackpool Gazette that William Riley, heir to the Riley name, wants what's left not only of TVR in Blackpool, but MG Sport as well.
While the Riley name has been kaput for decades, it looks like Mr. R owns the rights to it, as he acquired it from BMW/Rover in 1999. He's currently negotiating with PriceWaterhouseCoopers for the MG Sports trademark, and has already started plans for a new factory, to be staffed with laid-off TVR workers, no less, at Bispham.
Pie-in-the-sky? Almost certainly, although Wm. Riley is an experienced financier with very deep pockets. He told The Gazette that "I'm a cautious and serious British businessman who was born into the motor trade. I do not treat workers merely as hired labor–I treat them on a mutual basis of trust and respect."
His plans call for, naturally, US-bound models, in this case via a twin manufacturing facility in America (the stillborn AC plant in Bridgeport, Connecticut, anyone?), led by a relaunched X-Power SV, a new X-Power roadster, and some sort of new Riley.
Mr. Riley also mentioned he was in the bidding for TVR when Scopalaminsky re-acquired it last month. We say: If he really wants it, it's going to be available again within 18 months. Currently, TVR's many, many creditors are in the process of receiving 5p on every £1 of the £29,000,000 they are owed, and TVR employees are expecting a nice, fat redundancy check of £35, each.
Jeezum, as we say in Vermont, crow.
Surrender: Smolenski sells TVR
Now it's just getting ridiculous. One week ago today, Nikolai Smolenski bought TVR, in effect, from himself. Now, Autocar is reporting that as of today, he's unloaded the whole smoking ruin of a company to a pair of Florida-based businessmen, Adam Burdette and Jean Michel Santacreu.
Santacreu, an event planner, and Burdette, of Evolution Imports, had been hoping to bring TVRs to this country, and now seem to be taking their plans to a dark, new region.
Given the track record of similar endeavors, we're going to call this the final nail in the coffin of once-great sports car maker TVR.
BREAKING: Smolenski buys TVR from himself
OK, so over the winter, pocket oligarch Nikolai Smolenski (or Nikolay Smokenskiy, if you prefer) lost control of the intellectual property of TVR. Numerous bidders stepped up to the plate, with engine builder Al Melling in the lead.
As of last night, there's a buyer, and in a feat of logic worthy of Ford itself, it's…wait for it…Nikolai Smolenski.
Yep. Boy Nicki has sunk something on the order of £35 million into the Blackpool carmaker over the last three years, and thought he'd top it off with another £2 million, according to Autocar. This is one sign you just might have too much money.
If we were one of the hundreds of laid-off workers, we wouldn't get our hopes up, as this isn't likely to mean anything more than that Smolensky intends to go ahead with his plans to build TVRs in Italy.
Here's the release:
Blackpool Automotive Limited in Administration
PKF Partners and Joint Administrators of Blackpool Automotive Limited yesterday evening completed the sale of the main assets of the company for an undisclosed sum to a company controlled by Nikolai Smolensky.
The sale included the TVR trademarks, certain vehicle stock, work-in-progress, and the manufacturing plant and equipment.
In a statement, joint administrators Philip Long, Kerry Bailey and Matthew Gibson said:
"Having advertised the assets of the company to the open market, we are confident we have achieved the best possible price in the circumstances and we are now looking to return money to the creditors as quickly as possible.
"While we had a significant number of companies expressing an interest, four demonstrated they had the funds required to enter a bidding process.
Ultimately, Mr Smolensky's company came in with the highest offer."
Fire sale: TVR could be yours
Well, the TVR Typhoon may be on the way…but it's not going to be called a TVR.
When Nikolai Smolenski offered the assets of TVR for sale last month, they included something known as Blackpool Automotive. The creation of this entity by Smolenski was part of some corporate shuffling and restructuring last summer, and includes the Blackpool manufacturing facilities and other physical assets of the late sports car manufacturer.
But what Niki didn't seem to realize was that Blackpool Automotive, Limited included the intellectual property of TVR as well. What does that mean? The name TVR is up for sale.
An ad in the Financial Times spells it all out. There's no asking price, but The Independent says Smolenski paid £15 million for TVR when he bought it in 2004, and invested around £30 million since.

Coal in their stockings: TVR all over
If somehow you're not up to speed on the slow, agonizing death of independent sports car maker TVR, read our comprehensive coverage and then join in.
The "TVR 260″ (that's the 260 semi-laid-off workers whose futures have been batted about like a catnip mouse for the last four months) got one last kick in the teeth before Christmas: They didn't get paid.
As late as lunchtime on Friday, December 22, they were expecting a final paycheck, but when the day ended, they were told that the money just wasn't there. According to Blackpool Today, Tony Hodson, union convener at TVR, said the news meant a "very bleak" festive season for workers at the historic Bispham factory: "The administrators will look through all the paperwork and investigate the financial position of the company. They will be looking at whether the business can be sold."
"At the moment, the staff are just in limbo facing a very uncertain New Year. We don't know what to expect this time, because every time we have built up a bit of hope, it's just been knocked right down again. It's despicable the way the staff have been treated. (To get the letter) was a huge body blow for the workers and to get the news right before Christmas was awful. It is very, very sad. It's just TVR all over."

PPARγ and Wnt signaling are central positive and negative regulators of adipogenesis, respectively. Here we identify the groucho family member TLE3 as a transcriptional integrator of the PPARγ and Wnt pathways. TLE3 is a direct target of PPARγ that participates in a feed-forward loop during adipocyte differentiation. TLE3 enhances PPARγ activity and functions synergistically with PPARγ on its target promoters to stimulate adipogenesis. At the same time, induction of TLE3 during differentiation provides a mechanism for termination of Wnt signaling. TLE3 antagonizes TCF4 activation by β-catenin in preadipocytes, thereby inhibiting Wnt target gene expression and reversing β-catenin-dependent repression of adipocyte gene expression. Transgenic expression of TLE3 in adipose tissue in vivo mimics the effects of PPARγ agonist and ameliorates high-fat-diet-induced insulin resistance. Our data suggest that TLE3 acts as a dual-function switch, driving the formation of both active and repressive transcriptional complexes that facilitate the adipogenic program.
