Three reported dead as tornado blasts AucklandThursday December 6, 2012 - 12:20 EDT
Three people have reportedly been killed after an apparent tornado hit Auckland today.
The New Zealand Herald says the storm hit the west Auckland suburb of Hobsonville in the early afternoon (local time).
It says the storm was powerful enough to rip up the surface of the motorway, and two people died when a slab of concrete hit their truck.
"Fire, police and ambulance are racing to multiple callouts in Hobsonville and Upper Harbour and it is understood a number of people may have been injured as a result," the paper says in its online report.
The paper says more storms, with torrential rain, are expected to hit the city.
More to come.

Chriss Sutherland
Worried Love
US: 17 Mar 2009
UK: Import
Although he is from New Brunswick, singer songwriter Chriss Sutherland sings in both Spanish and English on this release with Brown Bird. Brown Bird is the name David Lamb, a singer/songwriter/guitarist/banjo player who lives in Rhode Island, has recorded under since 2002, with two recent additions from Providence band Barn Burning. What results is a haunting, lush (in virtuosity) and minimal (in instrumentation) set of songs that feels like a shimmering mescaline excursion. "Volando Voy (El Camaron de la Isla)" is Sutherland's take on a classic flamenco song he heard by Kiko Veneno. Various exotic percussives underline a Santana guitar riff as meditative and psychedelic lyrics spew forth from what sounds like a Mexican street troubadour and his set of friends. Although one of the backing women is a tad pitchy, the song remains hard charged and trippy.

Background: The aim of our study was to measure the serum paracetamol concentrations achieved following a single rectal loading dose of 40 mg·kg−1 in children with chronic liver disease.
Methods: We recruited 17 children (3–15 years, 10.6–75 kg) undergoing minor surgical procedures under general anesthesia. Paracetamol was administered at the end of surgery and blood samples were taken for analysis at 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8 h postdose.
Results: The mean Cmax of 11.4 mg·l−1 [coefficient of variation (CV) 66%] was achieved at a Tmax of 2.7 h (CV 42%). The relative bioavailability (F) of the suppository formulation was not estimated, but clearance (Cl/F) estimates 0.73 l·kg−1·h−1 (CV 87%) and time–concentration profiles for these children were similar to the normal pediatric population.
Conclusions: There are currently no biologic markers available for monitoring possible hepatotoxicity in this cohort of patients with liver disease, but our data suggest that a single-dose suppository is a satisfactory analgesic alternative.

Doris Lessing, an influential and prolific writer who made her mark in more than 50 novels, as well as short stories, essays and poems, died Sunday in London at age 94.
Allowing that some Americans might find her "crazy," Nobel Prize-winning writer Doris Lessing told Spain's El Pais newspaper that the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, were "neither as terrible or as extraordinary as they think," pointing to the IRA bombings in Britain as other examples of calamities.

The present invention relates to a new and improved construction of a sole attachment for facilitating walking, especially for use in conjunction with ski boots and the like.
Generally speaking, the sole attachment or undersupport of the present invention is of the type comprising a plate or plate member, the upper surface of which is structured so that it can be mounted at the sole of the boot or other footwear. This plate member is provided with a lower tread or contact surface, also referred to as a walking surface, which is arched or domed in the direction of the sole, and such plate member is also provided with attachment or securing devices for the attachment thereof at the boot or other footwear. A sole attachment of this type is known to the art from Swiss Pat. No. 516,290.
It is a primary object of the present invention to improve upon such state-of-the-art sole attachment with the intent of devising a sole attachment which can be quickly secured to an article of footwear, especially a ski boot, and additionally can again rapidly be disconnected therefrom, wherein the sole attachment when connected with the ski boot or the like, is positively secured thereto.
A further significant object of the present invention aims at providing a new and improved construction of a sole attachment for facilitating walking with footwear, especially ski boots, wherein the sole attachment can be easily fitted to various boot sizes and is structured such that when worn by the user there is less likelihood of he or she slipping upon snow or ice.
A further significant object of the present invention is directed to a new and improved construction of sole attachment for facilitating walking with footwear, especially ski boots and the like, which sole attachment is relatively simple in construction and design, economical to manufacture, extremely easy to use, not readily subject to breakdown or malfunction, and can be mounted at and disconnected again from the ski boot with relative ease.
Now in order to implement these and still further objects of the invention, which will become more readily apparent as the description proceeds, the sole attachment for facilitating walking as contemplated by the present development, is manifested by the features that the plate or plate member is provided at its ends with holder elements or holders which engage over the sole of the boot or the like. At least one of the holder elements is formed as one-piece or integrally with the plate member, and at least one of the holder elements is elastically movable into its effectual position and out of such effectual position. The plate member is provided at its upper surface with at least one fixation or arresting element intended to be inserted into a related recess or the like provided at the ski boot sole.
With such construction the elastic attachment device enables simple engagement at the ski boot and equally disconnection of the elastically movable holder element, either manually or with the aid of a ski pole, by way of example.
The fixation or arresting element additionally safeguards against the sole attachment laterally sliding at the boot.
Preferably, the plate member can comprise two mutually telescopically adjustable plate portions or elements. By mutually displacing the plate portions it is possible to simply adjust the sole attachment to different sizes of boot.
The surfaces of the plate portions or elements, extending transversely with respect to the lengthwise direction of the plate member and bounding a separation joint at the plate member, advantageously possess portions which tend to diverge with respect to the lower surface of the plate member. In this way there is obtained the formation of a joint even when the plate portions or elements are closely abutting one another, this joint improving the anti-skid or slide characteristics of the sole attachment upon snow or ice. The elastically movable holder element can be inherently structured to be elastic and formed of one-piece or integrally with the plate member. In this way there is obtained a simple construction of the attachment device which, with appropriate selection of the material from which there is formed the elastically movable holder element, also affords a robust construction of the attachment device.
However, the elastically movable holder element also can be movably mounted in relation to the plate member and can be moved by elastic means with respect to the ski boot sole. The movable mounting can be constituted, for instance, by a parallel guide arrangment or a rotatable support or bearing arrangement. In this way there is obtained a construction which is suitable for greater ranges of movement and also for the application of greater holding forces, but at the expense of a somewhat more complicated construction.
The domed lower surface can be formed at least at one sole part which is then attached to the plate member or the plate portions forming the plate member, as the case may be. The thus afforded possibility of disconnecting the plate or plate portions from a sole portion enables separate selection of suitable materials for forming the plate member and the sole portion. Thus, for instance, the plate member can be fabricated from a harder plastic material than the sole portion or sole portions. Also it is easily possible to then carry out a replacement or repair when the sole portion or portions become worn.
The domed or arched lower surface can be provided with depressions or recesses providing protection against slipping or sliding. At least given ones of such depressions or recesses can have the shape of mirror-image letters of the alphabet. Hence, with this design there is not only obtained an anti-skid protection, in a manner as is conventional in footwear soles, rather additionally there is also possible the formation of readable impressions of the sole attachment upon the snow.
Additionally, the sole attachment can possess anti-skid means, for instance in the form of pins, which can be extended out of the lower surface of the sole attachment so as to provide for positive protection against the user slipping or sliding during walking. These anti-slipping or anti-skid pins or equivalent structure are particularly useful when the user intends to walk with the sole attachment upon surfaces covered with ice.
Additionally, it is also within the teachings of the invention to provide holders or the like which enable securing the sole attachment at the ski during skiing. These holders together with the sole attachment not only render possible storage of the sole attachments without any problem during skiing, but at the same time afford the added beneficial effect, --similar to the conventionally employed anti-cross-over devices which are frequently secured in known manner to the skis--of simultaneously working like such anti-ski cross-over devices which prevent unintentional crossing of the skis during skiing.
The invention will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above, will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:
FIG. 1 is a side view of a sole attachment for facilitating walking, constructed according to the invention, showing the footwear, here assumed to be in the form of a ski boot in broken or phantom lines;
FIG. 2 is a top plan view of the sole attachment of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a bottom plan view of the sole attachment of FIG. 1;
FIG. 4 is a sectional view, taken along the line IV--IV of FIG. 1;
FIG. 5 is a sectional view, taken along the line V--V of FIG. 1;
FIG. 6 illustrates an arrangement suitable for securing, with the aid of particular holders, the sole attachment at a ski;
FIG. 7 is a side view of a further embodiment of sole attachment;
FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view of a sole attachment equipped with anti-skid elements, here shown as ejectable pins for safeguarding against unintentional slipping of the user; and
FIG. 9 is a fragmentary view of a modified form of sole attachment, like in the arrangment of FIG. 1, wherein there is illustrated a different construction of the fixation element safeguarding against lateral shifting of the sole attachment with respect to the boot or the like.
Describing now the drawings, in FIG. 1 there is illustrated a first exemplary embodiment of sole attachment 1 for facilitating walking, which is contemplated to be secured to a suitable article of footwear, here assumed to be a ski boot 2. The sole attachment 1 contains an upper surface 3 which is structured so as to be suitable to be applied to the not particularly referenced sole of the ski boot 2, and further contains a lower tread or contact surface 4 which is arched or domed in the direction of the ski boot sole 8. At the front end of the sole attachment 1 there is provided an attachment or securing device 5, and equally at the rear end of the sole attachment 1 there is provided an attachment or securing device 6. Additionally, suitable fixation means 7, here shown as protruding fixing or arresting pins, are provided at the upper surface 3 of the sole attachment 1. These fixation or arresting pins 7 can be introduced into appropriate openings or holes provided at the sole 8 of the ski boot 2.
As further apparent by referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the sole attachment 1 is in the form of a plate or plate member, here composed of two plate portions or elements 10' and 10". Both of the plate portions 10' andn 10" are mutually telescopically adjustable with the aid of guide surfaces 11 and 12 provided at the respective plate portions 10' and 10", respectively. The guide surfaces 11 and 12 can be constituted, purely by way of example, by a tongue and groove arrangement, as shown in FIG. 2, but of course any equivalent structure suitable to accomplish the same function can be provided. By virtue of this design it is possible to easily accommodate the sole attachment 1 to many different sizes of ski boots or the like. The fixation of both of the plate portions or elements 10' and 10" in a given position can be accomplished by suitable fixing elements, here shown as screws or threaded bolts 13.
Between both of the plate portions 10' and 10" there is located a separation joint 14 which is bounded by surfaces 15 of the plate portion 10' and 10". As particularly well seen by referring to FIGS. 1 and 3, the surfaces 15 are not only configured so as to extend in a zig-zag formation, but also are structured so as to be inclined with respect to the upper surface 3 and to the tread surface 4. Due to this construction there is achieved the beneficial result that, when both of the plate portions 10' and 10" closely abut one another, there is nonetheless still left free a substantially wedge-shaped separation joint or gap 14. The latter is particularly beneficial in terms of preventing slipping of the sole attachment 1 upon snow or ice.
The tread surface 4 of the sole attachment 1 is additionally profiled or shaped so as to increase its antiskid or slipping properties. As best seen by referring to FIG. 3, a suitable manner of profiling the sole attachment 1 is by providing recesses or depressions 16 and 17 at the tread or contact surface 4. While the depression or recess 16 is shown to have the shape of a border or frame which essentially encloses the tread surface 4, the other depressions or recesses 17 are advantageously, although not absolutely necessarily, configured as letters of the alphabet. When these letters of the alphabet, as illustrated, are arranged in a mirror-image fashion, then apart from the anti-skid protection effect which is afforded by these depressions or recesses 17, the letters are impressed into the snow when walking thereon. Thus, a form of advertising can be realized by configuring the letters to portray a desired message, such as a brand name or mark.
As best seen by referring to FIGS. 1, 2 and 4, the holder element or part 5, constituting one of the attachment devices, is guided with the aid of, for instance, a standard dovetail guide arrangement 18 in the plate portion 10' and is equipped with a resilient end 20 located in a suitably formed recess 21 of the plate portion or element 10'. Resilient arms 22 of the end 20 bear against a surface 23 of the recess 21, and thus, draw the entire holder portion or element 5 towards the right of the showing of FIGS. 1 and 2. By virtue of the applied resilient or spring-like force the boot 2 is fixedly clamped at the sole attachment or undersupport 1 with the aid of the holder element 5. For purposes of releasing the ski boot 2 the holder element 5 can be provided with a release aid, here shown in the form of an eyelet 24, into which there can be introduced, for instance, the end of a ski pole, with the result that the holder element 5 then is shifted towards the left of the showing of FIG. 1, and hence the ski boot 2 is released.
As already mentioned, the right-hand holder element or portion 6 is as rigid as possible and for this purpose is beneficially provided with the stiffening ribs 6' or equivalent structure.
Turning attention now to FIG. 6, there is shown therein a sole attachment 1 which with the aid of holders or mounting devices 25 and 26 can be secured releasably at a ski 27. The releasable fixation of the sole attachment 1 at the ski 27 is accomplished in the same manner as the sole attachment 1 is secured to the ski boot 2. For this purpose the holders or mounting elements 25 and 26 have a suitable configuration and mutual spacing from one another, as shown. One of the holders, here the holder 26, also is provided with recesses 7" for receiving the fixation or fixing pins 7.
In FIG. 7 there is shown a further construction of sole attachment designed according to the invention. With this embodiment the plate portions or elements 10' and 10", which here are formed of a rigid plastics material, are provided at their lower or bottom face with a related flat or planar surface 3' extending essentially in parallelism to the upper plate surface 3. At these lower surfaces 3' there are secured the sole portions or elements 30' and 30". As illustrated, the attachment of the sole portions or elements 30' and 30", which can be fabricated of rubber or a soft plastics material, is accomplished by snapping these sole portions over widened or enlarged heads 31 of plugs or pins 32 or the like. The plugs or pins 32 together with their enlarged heads 31, in this case, advantageously can be formed of any suitable metal. With the embodiment of FIG. 7 the right-hand located holder element 6 is constructed in the same manner as with the embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2. The left-hand holder element 5, on the other hand, is formed of one-piece or integrally with the plate portion or element 10'. The movement of the attachment device, in other words the holder element 5, out of its effectual clamping position into its ineffectual position and again back into the effectual clamping position here is exclusively accomplished by virtue of the elasticity of its arm 5'. The elastic arm 5' of the holder element 5 interconnects the eyelet 24 and the beak-like end 33 of the holder element 5 with the plate portion or element 10'.
In FIG. 8 there is shown in cross-sectional view a sole attachment or undersupport 1 having an arrangement of two anti-skid elements, here shown as pins 34 which provide protection against undesired slipping of the user. The anti-skid pins 34 or equivalent structure are guided in bores or holes 35 of the sole attachment 1 and provided with springs 36 or equivalent resilient biasing means which draw the pins 34 upwardly into the illustrated position, i.e. into the sole attachment 1. At the location of the bores 35 containing the pins 34 there is formed a transversely extending or transverse bore 37 within which there is rotatably mounted a plug or shaft 38. This plug or shaft 38 has a recess or cut-out 40 containing a substantially flat surface extending in a chord-like manner with respect to the cross-section of the cylindrical shaft or plug 38. Additionally, the plug or shaft 38 has a protruding actuating or manipulating end 38' which is provided with parallel gripping surfaces 41. When the plug 38 is turned with the aid of the gripping surfaces 41 through 180� with respect to the showing of FIG. 8, then a camming action is exerted upon the anti-skid pins 34 within the bores 35 which moves them downwardly and therefore, out of the tread surface 4 into the position shown in phantom lines in such FIG. 8. As mentioned, the pins 34, when outwardly extended, afford a good anti-skid protection for the user when walking upon icy or slippery surfaces. If the plug or shaft 38 is turned back into the illustrated position of FIG. 8, then the anti-skid pins 34 again are drawn back into the tread surface 4 so that they are not in their effectual or working position.
Reverting again to FIG. 1, there has been indicated therein the radii R1, R2 and R3, which govern the doming or arching of the tread surface 4 of the sole attachment or undersupport 1. The dimensions of the radii are not subject matter of the invention, but typical dimensions of such radii have been disclosed in the previously mentioned Swiss Pat. No. 516,290 to which reference may be readily had.
FIG. 9 shows a still further modification of the fixation element for preventing any lateral slipping of the sole attachment or undersupport 1 at the ski boot 2 or other footwear. As shown in such FIG. 9, the plate element 10' is provided with a pointed, substantially wedge-shaped projection 7" engaging into an appropriate cut-out or recess provided at the ski boot sole 8.
While there are shown and described present preferred embodiments of the invention, it is to be distinctly understood that the invention is not limited thereto, but may be otherwise variously embodied and practiced within the scope of the following claims. Accordingly,

The Kansas City Star, Keith Myers, File, Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The federal government cited a Missouri grain company Thursday for willful safety violations and proposed a hefty fine for an explosion that killed six workers last October at a northeast Kansas grain elevator.
U.S. Labor Secretary Hilda Solis said in a news release the deaths at the Bartlett Grain Co. elevator in Atchison "could have been prevented" if the operators had addressed hazards known in the industry. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is seeking $406,000 in penalties in addition to the citations alleging five willful and eight serious safety violations.
"Bartlett Grain's disregard for the law led to a catastrophic accident and heartbreaking tragedy for the workers who were injured or killed, their families and the agricultural community," Solis said.
Kansas investigators previously determined the Oct. 29, 2011, grain dust explosion was accidental. Two other workers were injured the blast in Atchison, about 50 miles northwest of Kansas City.
Among the willful violations, OSHA alleges the company allowed grain dust, which is nine times as explosive as coal dust, to accumulate and used compressed air to remove dust without first shutting down ignition sources. OSHA defines a willful violation as one committed with intentional knowing or voluntary disregard for the law's requirements or with plain indifference to worker safety and health.
The serious violations, defined as those with a substantial probability of death or serious physical harm, include claims that there was a lack of preventative maintenance and that the housekeeping program was deficient because it didn't prevent grain dust accumulations.
Bob Knief, the president of Bartlett Grain, said in a written statement that the company plans to prove wrong "OSHA's unfortunate citations and characterization." He said the company disagrees with claims that there was a hazardous accumulation of dust before the accident and contends the grain and dust found by OSHA was deposited by the accident.
"The safety of our employees always has been and continues to be our highest priority," Knief said. "The accident ... was the darkest day in Bartlett Grain's 105 year history. We always will grieve that we cannot restore these men to their families and friends, or their co-workers at Bartlett. From that terrible day, we have believed and stated that we were operating responsibly."
OSHA also cited Bartlett contractor Topeka-based Kansas Grain Inspection Services Inc. for one willful violation alleging a lack of fall protection for employees working on the top of rail cars, one serious violation alleging lack of a hazard communication program and one lesser violation alleging it failed to provide basic advisory information about respirators to employees. Those violations carry proposed penalties of $67,500.
Kansas Grain Inspection Services said in a written statement that it planned to appeal the citations. The company noted that federal law requires grain inspectors to examine rail cars before they are loaded with grain and that the only way to comply is by climbing on top of the cars. The release said the company was assured in 1996 that it wouldn't be appropriate for grain inspectors to be required to use fall protection equipment while working on top of rail cars because there are no fixed structures for workers to connect it.
"The accident ... was the darkest hour of our company's history," the statement said. "We're a small company and we lost two valued co-workers who were working at a worksite that we didn't own or control. Literally, they were in the wrong place at the wrong time. The explosion that killed them didn't have anything to do with a fall and, in fact, they weren't even outdoors when the explosion took their lives."
The companies have 15 working days to contest the violations and penalties.

Scott Wolf and His Wife Expecting Their Second Child
May 22, 2012 (6:57 am) GMT
The actor, who's best known for his role as Bailey Salinger in 'Party of Five', confirms Kelley's pregnancy on Twitter.
43-year-old Scott Wolf and his wife Kelley Wolf are expanding their family. The Bailey Salinger of "Party of Five" confirms on Twitter that he and the 35-year-old "Real World: New Orleans" alum, whom he got married with in 2004, are expecting their second child together.
"Just between the 10,149 of you and me, my wife and I are expecting our second child," Scott informed his Twitter followers about Kelley's pregnancy. He added in the same tweet, "We are expecting that because she's pregnant. Happy us."
Scott began dating Kelley in 2002 after meeting through a mutual friend Joel Goldman in New York City. Five years after tying the knot, the couple welcomed their first child, a baby boy named Jackson Kayse, in March 2009.

In Saffron city three entries from kanto are lead onto a plane that had just arrived. They don't see the outside but the inside is a rather odd looking passenger area. There are only 12 seats in total which are paired into two rows on either side of the room. One of the back left seats is taken by a trainer from Sinnoh known as Seph Kane. Hunter "Shaggy" Davis and Steel Surge are seated in the back right seats (With Steel getting a window seat). And Adrastos "Adan" Sacramenti is given a seat infront of those two. A short time passes and the plane takes off.
Meanwhile in Blackthorne city Nero Vulcan is waiting inside the Dragons Den for the plane to arrive when he spots a Man in his late twenties with messy burnt orange hair and a goatee Sleeping against the wall of the cave.

By Joseph Slacian
A Northfield High School graduate is one of five Hoosiers to have received a Minuteman Scholarship from the National Guard.
Drake Heitz received the scholarship on Wednesday, June 8, from Staff Sgt. Willie Justice of the Indiana National Guard. Heitz will use his scholarship to attend Rose Hulman Institute of Technology.
"Over the next for years, the Guard will pay $57,000 a year," Justice told The Paper of Wabash County. "So he's going to graduate not owing anything."

The Indiana Department of Education released 2013 accountability grades for schools across the state on Friday, Dec. 20. Educators, administrators, parents, students and community members can now see if their school made the grade. The legitimacy of these grades, however, is questionable.
The formula used to determine these grades was put in place in February 2012 and will soon be replaced by a new system following an accountability report released by Indiana Superintendent Glenda Ritz and Southwest Allen County Schools Superintendent Steven Yager this past October.
The reason the current grading system lasted only a year is due to calculation that many educators find dubious and difficult to interpret. Prior to February 2012, the grading system was very straightforward. The letter grade was solely based upon the percentage of students who passed standardized tests. If 80-89 percent passed, the school received a B. Scores between 90 and 100 percent earned schools an A, with Cs, Ds, and Fs going to schools with passing rates of 70-79 percent, 60-69 percent, and 59 percent and below respectively.
The system put in place in 2012 attempted to take more factors into account, including graduation rates, Advanced Placement exam scores, and a "growth model," the most controversial of the new measurements. The growth model attempts to grade student improvement by comparing individual student growth over the course of a year to that of all students in the state who received the same score the previous year.
The growth model used in the current grading system is quite complex. Like the old system, schools receive a baseline grade according to the percentage of students who pass standardized tests. From there, a formula is used to calculate "high growth," "standard growth," and "low growth" distinctions for each student. Students are separated into two groups, the top 75 percent of students and the bottom 25 of students in each school. The school's letter grade can then be raised or lowered based on the amount of improvement the students made in comparison with students in all other schools in the state.
The biggest problem with the current system is that it fails to accurately reflect the real scores of the students at each school. This can be best explained using a hypothetical standardized test with an optimal score of 100 and a passing score of 60. Both Student A and Student B took and passed the test last year, receiving scores of 60 and 90 respectively. This year, the two scored a 70 and 92 respectively. If the state's average improvement for students scoring a 60 last year was 6 points, Student A would be considered "high growth." If the average improvement for students scoring a 90 last year was 4 points, Student B would be considered "low growth." In turn, Student A would help to boost his/her school's score, while Student B would hurt the school's score, regardless of the fact that Student B did much better on the test. The fact that Student B scored well last year makes it harder for him/her to fall into the "high growth" category, and easier for him/her to contribute to the school's potential grade reduction.
The complexity of this highly simplified, hypothetical scenario makes it easy to see why educators have advocated for a new grading system. In addition, the standardized test grading, including the growth model, only accounts for 60 percent of the overall grade. The rest is comprised of graduation rates and "college and career readiness" (based upon Advanced Placement exam scores, International Baccalaureate exam scores, college credits received, and industrial certifications earned. Finally, the weighted proportions themselves change each year, the weight put on "college and career readiness" increasing by 5 percent each year, offset by a decrease in the weight of Math and English scores. This makes it very difficult for educators and administrators to gauge real improvement year to year. If you are lost at this point, you're not the only one. Even State Superintendent Ritz is confused by the system.
"I cannot tell any school what their grade represents," said Ritz at the April meeting of the Indiana State Board of Education. "It lacks transparency. School districts are wondering how it is that they're supposed to improve and get to the next letter grade — what does that represent?"
Ritz and Yager hope to clarify the grading system and increase transparency with the new system of calculation proposed this past October.

What Your Serving Sizes Should Really Look Like (Uh-Oh)
Hopefully, by now, it's pretty common knowledge that the importance of nutrition labels goes way beyond just calories. You should be checking the sodium, the ingredients, the sugar — and above all, the serving size. What you see might shock you, and even those who consider themselves familiar with healthy portion control might be surprised by this Buzzfeed video demonstrating the actual recommended serving sizes of your favorite junk foods. But mainly, we feel bad for that mozzarella stick. Poor little guy, all alone! Maybe he can be friends with that measly pile of Doritos?

Buy-to-let rate cut bonanza: Five of the best mortgages for landlords to build their property portfolio
Mortgage rates have been falling as lenders take advantage of the funding for lending scheme, and that means landlords may well benefit from better buy-to-let deals.
Demand in the rental sector is still high as people are either struggling to save for a deposit or waiting longer to step onto the property ladder.
According to the Office for National Statistics, there are 8.3million renters in England and Wales. So there is a lot of demand for housing.
This creates an opportunity for landlords and property investors, but it is important to choose the right product so you can save on a deposit and fees and maximise your rental yield.
We highlight some of the best-buys below.
There are lots of costs associated with buy-to-let so it is important that you get the best mortgage deal as a starting point
Variable rate
New banking entrant Aldermore offers a term variable mortgage at 4.28 per cent with a £1,999 fee.
It has a 75 per cent loan to value, or for a bigger deposit of 35 per cent, you could get a rate of 3.98.
Borrowers will need a minimum income of 25,000 if you are a first time landlord and the bank requires a minimum rental coverage based on 125 per cent loan to value. It is available on a repayment or interest-only basis.
The minimum age for applicants is 21, or 25 for first time landlords. The maximum age is 85 years.
This is Money verdict
This is a competitive variable rate and lower than what many fixed term deals revert to.
The variable rate is linked to Aldermore's managed rate of 4.98, less 0.5 per cent, rather than the Bank of England base rate, so you will need to be confident that the rate will not be increased.
There is a big fee attached but if you stick with the deal it could be the only time you have to splash out for a fee. This is only available through advisers so you will also have to pay any broker fees.
Best for two years
The Mortgage Works, the broker-only arm of Nationwide Building Society, offers a best buy rate of 2.49 per cent for two years.
It is available for both first-time and experienced landlords but you will need a 40 per cent deposit and it carries a 2.5 per cent fee.
This would mean a £6,250 fee on a £250,000 purchase.
There is no minimum personal income requirement, however the loan must not exceed 4.25 times the applicant's personal income. This can be on a single or joint basis. Applications falling outside of this will be reviewed
The rental cover has to be based on 125 loan to value or 4.99 per cent, whichever is higher.
The rate reverts to 4.99 at the end of the deal and it is available on an interest-only and repayment basis.
The minimum age is 21 and the maximum age at loan maturity is 90 or 75 for first time landlords, unless they are buying with an experienced person.
This is Money verdict
The minimum income requirement gives this product some flexibility. While this rate is good for two years, you will need a big deposit. There are other deals available on a higher loan to value, which could save you money.
Minimum income requirement: The amount of income applicants are expected to have in earnings separate to rent. This figure, which can be individual or joint, reassures the lender that payments can be met while the property has no tenants.
Rental cover: The percentage of the monthly mortgage cost that the expected rental of the property will cover. Most lenders opt for 125 per cent of the rate. This is to ensure that the mortgage is repaid.
Rental yield: The amount a landlord receives in rent each year. This is expressed as a percentage of the purchase price of the property.
Best for three years
Skipton Building Society has a three-year buy-to-let fixed rate product at 3.89 per cent.
You will need a 30 per cent deposit. It reverts to 5.69 per cent at the end of the deal and has fees of £995.
The rental requirement is 125 of of the loan to value. Applicants must have a minimum income of £20,000.The minimum age is 18 and there is no maximum age.
Best for five years
Buy-to-let products sit in a strange semi-regulated world.
If you are sold a buy-to-let product by your bank, then you can complain to the Financial Ombudsman over claimed wrongdoing.
However, a buy-to-let mortgages counts as an unregulated product, and therefore is not eligible under the Ombudsman scheme if obtained through a broker
Coventry Building Society has a five-year fixed rate at 3.99 per cent. You will need at least a 35 per cent deposit and £1,999 in fees. It reverts to a standard variable rate of 4.74 per cent at the end of the deal.
Applicants must have an individual gross income of £25,000, or there must be a minimum gross joint income of £30,000
The minimum rental income required is 125 per cent of your monthly mortgage payment based on the higher of the product rate or 5 per cent.
You must be aged 18 or over and a UK property owner.
This is Money verdict
Fixing for a long period such as three or five years will give you certainty in repayments and a decent hedge against inflation.
This will help provide a buffer to extra costs that come with being a landlord such as property maintenance.
However, the revert rates can be higher than if you had gone with a shorter term product or stuck with a variable. A higher revert rate could also eat into your rental income.
Best for low fees
RBS has a two-year fixed buy-to-let mortgage for borrowers with a 25 per cent deposit at 4.35 per cent with no product fee.
Alternatively there is a two-year tracker at 4.15 per cent. Both revert to RBS' standard variable rate of 4 per cent
This is Money verdict
Borrowers who want to avoid paying a fee need to accept paying a higher interest rate on their mortgage.
RBS' fixed and tracker rates are competitive for those with a 25 per cent deposit and have the added advantage for shorter term deals of moving to a relatively low standard variable rate.
Getting a buy-to-let mortgage is much like a residential mortgage. There will be legal and valuation fees as well as stamp duty.
Buy-to-let investors will also need to consider insurance. You must have buildings insurance specifically for landlords, which can be more expensive than residential cover. Contents or landlords' damage or rent insurance isn't compulsory but can protect you investment.
There will also be maintenance costs involved with the property, although some can be offset against your tax bill.
There will also be tax liabilities. Any rental income that exceeds mortgage interest payments and other expenses is liable for income tax, while if you sell the property there may be capital gains tax to pay if you exceed the annual allowance, which stands at £10,900 in 2013.
