U.S. aircraft could strike Iraq tomorrow
President Obama has so far turned down Iraqi prime minister Nouri al-Maliki's request for U.S. air strikes against the Islamic extremists taking over his country. But if Obama changes his mind, U.S. jets could be flying over Iraq in less than a day.
U.S. air bases, housing dozens of American fighters and bombers, are well within striking distance of Iraq. High-flying spy drones like the Global Hawk can just as easily fly over Iraq as Afghanistan or any other conflict zone in the region. The aircraft carrier U.S.S. George H.W. Bush is a few days' sail away, in the North Arabian Sea. And it boasts dozens more fighters on board.
That's why a number of retired high-ranking U.S. Air Force officers, including Lt. Gen. David Deptula, who served as the Air Force's first deputy chief of staff for intelligence, say any strikes, if ordered, could begin almost immediately.
"If you can provide me with the appropriate intelligence we can start doing (air strikes) within 24 hours," he told The Daily Beast. "There are a variety of means do this, whether you are talking about long-range, high-payload aircraft or smaller aircraft. With the requisite intelligence information you can start again in 24 hours."
"No question we could strike anytime," added a second senior retired Air Force officer, who asked not to be quoted by name. He saw no "tech or logistical" reasons why air assets couldn't be diverted from Afghanistan to Iraq.

Would-Be Florida Mayor Endorsed by ... Jesus
(NEWSER) – A North Miami mayoral candidate has pretty much the endorsement to end all endorsements: Jesus Christ himself. Anna Pierre touts what she calls the "spiritual endorsement" on her campaign posters, and says she knows she's the one because the son of God sent her three signs that he endorsed her candidacy. Unfortunately, the former '90s Creole-language pop star wouldn't tell Local 10 what those signs were; she wants to keep them "private."

This Girl, 9, Scolded McDonald's CEO
(NEWSER) – Nine-year-old Hannah Robertson knows it's important to eat her fruits and veggies (more so than most;this is her mom), but she thought Don Thompson ought to know, too. Thompson just so happens to be the the CEO of McDonald's, and Robertson addressed him at the fast-food giant's annual shareholders' meeting yesterday. USA Today and NPR provide choice quotes:
- "There are things in life that aren't fair—like when your pet dies. I don't think it's fair when big companies try to trick kids into eating food."
- "It would be nice if you stopped trying to trick kids into wanting to eat your food all the time."
- "Mr. Thompson, don't you want kids to be healthy so they can live a long and healthy life?"

Coming up in 2009
A lot has been written so far about what to expect next year — some valid, some not.
But has that ever stopped me from joining the year-end pile-on? Perish the thought.
So here are 10 things to expect in 2009.
Or not.
Remember, objects may be closer than they appear, and your mileage may vary.
10. 2009 will be the year of Linux. But so will 2010, as well as 2011 and 2012. In fact, by 2013, the last pair of eyes on the planet will finally glaze over when a Linux writer proclaims the following year to be the year of Linux, and the more thoughtful pundits will just know that it's now understood that the next year will be our year, for whatever reason, and they'll write about something a tad more significant.
9. Fedora 11 will outshine Fedora 10. As hard as it may be to believe — and after a month I still can't find a flaw with Fedora 10 — Fedora 11 will be an encore performance of what can best be described as a rock-solid distro, even for machines that go back a few years (in my case, a Dell 5000 Inspiron laptop and a Dell Optiplex desktop). Sadly, people will continue to be under the mistaken impression that Fedora is too "cutting edge" for anyone other than the most experienced superuser who might be too lazy to negotiate the Gentoo labyrinth (yes, that's a gauntlet thrown at the feet of my Fedora colleagues to work next year on dispelling that stupid myth . . . ).
8. The UFC pits Linus Torvalds and Richard Stallman against each other in a feature bout. What happens though is not one of those ridiculous near-death experiences for some poor troglodyte who normally gets suckered into the ring, but an epiphany for the entire FOSS community: Stallman and Torvalds meet at mid-ring and circle each other warily. Stallman opens the bout by saying maybe he was a little hasty in demanding GNU be stuck on the front of Linux, but Torvalds comes back with openly welcoming the option of joining the two names. Barriers between open source and free software dissolve. GNOME and KDE advocates embrace in a worldwide "kumbaya." Planets align. Then I wake up.
7. Zenwalk increases the pace of its development. It becomes Zenrun, and in finding that they can add and release improvements to an already above-average distro at an even faster pace, they rename it Zenfly in 2010.
6. Lindependence comes to Redmond, Wash. The hall is rented, the fliers posted, and the riot police stand at the ready, but they remain wary since they don't want to repeat the WTO fiasco in Seattle a decade ago. Nevertheless, yours truly — in a tribute to another overweight bald guy in the digital industry — opens the event with an insane onstage monkey dance that also brings him to within inches of a heart attack while Ken Starks unsuccessfully diverts the press' attention. The Digital Tipping Point's Christian Einfeldt, however, gets it all on video. Meanwhile, Debian, Fedora, Mandriva, OpenSUSE and Ubuntu reps — along with others who choose to join Lindependence in 2009 — hand out live CDs and demonstrate their distros. Yes, that's Red Hat's "Truth Happens" video (click here for Quick Time fans) looping in the background all the while.
5. Mandriva gets in touch with its feminine side. This distro renames itself Womandriva and becomes a more reasonable, nurturing distro, finally dropping the adolescent Mandrake zeitgeist from its early days. The distro's leadership also realizes what a huge mistake it was to let Adam Williamson go and rectifies that situation, adding a huge bonus to his salary.
4. The Madagascar Penguins join Tux as the Linux mascots. Skipper, Kowalski, Rico and the Private make Tux one of their own in their commando unit. Incidentally — this is true (you can look it up) — on the Madagascar DVD, the penguins provide their own commentary on their scenes. When Private is struggling to operate a computer while taking over the ship, Skipper comments, "What are you doing up there, playing Tetris? You told me you knew Linux, Private!" Just smile and wave, boys, smile and wave.
3. Windows 7 will be worse than Vista, as hard as that may be to believe. This development will result in yet another $30 million Microsoft ad campaign diverting attention from this latest offering. Realizing they picked the wrong Seinfeld character in their first campaign, the ad agency casts Jason Alexander with Bill Gates, making Gates look like the "cool one" in comparison.
2. Everyone joins the Ubuntu family. In an effort not to confuse brand new GNU/Linux users with the daunting tasks of trying to wrap their minds around 350 different distributions, distros give themselves new names: Fedbuntu, Debuntu, openBUNTU, Sabayuntu, Damn Small Buntu, CentBuntu, Dreambuntu, Slackbuntu, Pupbuntu, Mepbuntu, gNewBuntu, among others. Solbuntis and OpenSolbuntis also join the ranks.
1. Linux Foundation's "I'm Linux" video contest's winning entry grabs an Oscar. After Apple's "I'm a Mac" ad campaign, and Microsoft following with a painfully original "I'm a PC" theme, the Linux Foundation garners thousands of entries in its "I'm Linux" video contest. The Motion Picture Academy of Arts and Sciences nominates the winner, which ends up awing those judging and the statuette for Best Short Film goes to the winner.
There are other developments, like the conflicts that the new OpenBSD Christian Edition causes, which may be addressed in a later blog.
Have a happy and prosperous new year.

This is the only cordless inflator that automatically shuts off when it reaches a desired tire pressure. Ideal for inflating low tires during daytime or nighttime roadside emergencies—as well as inflatables, bicycle tires, and sporting equipment—the desired pressure is set using its digital pressure gauge, and operating similarly to a cordless drill, a squeeze and release of the locking trigger begins inflation. In just 90 seconds, it inflates a standard vehicle tire from 25 psi to 30 psi and a mountain bike tire from flat to 55 psi. In addition to cordless operation using its lithium-ion battery (recharges in three hours using the included AC adapter), it comes with an 11'-long car adapter that powers the inflator directly. It has an integrated LED that illuminates tire valves, a flexible 5"-long air hose tipped with a thread connector to ensure a proper seal with valves, and two included recreation ball and inflatable toy adapters. Includes travel bag. 12" L x 4 1/2" W x 9 1/2" H. (3 3/4 lbs.)
Lifetime Guarantee
The Only Automatic Cordless Tire Inflator comes with The Hammacher Schlemmer Lifetime Guarantee. If this product ever disappoints you, for any reason, you may return your Hammacher Schlemmer purchase for exchange, credit, or refund.

I was a bit skeptical that this product would perform as described. It comes in a nice storage bag with all the accessories. I pumped my bike and car all within a few minutes. It works better and much faster than my large heavy duty and bulkier inflator. This would make a great gift.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Need A Tire Gauge
By RT
from Virginia
The automatic shut off is about 5-6 psi off. For example if you want your tire pressure at 32psi, you have to enter 38 psi. Which is disappointing as this was one of the features they promoted. Otherwise, the design and ease of use is good.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: Thank you for your feedback. This item is designed to stop at 1 psi over the set value before shutting off. Some air may escape before the valve is attached to the tire, but the 1 psi buffer is meant to accommodate for a small loss of air.

The "Air Jordon" of tire pumps
By Treadhead
from Fort Carson, CO
Wanted to use this to keep the proper air pressure in my car tires. Neither the box or instructions seem to suggest that it be used in this manner but to inflate toys and other items. Not sure if what I am using it for will have ill effects on either the pump or the battery. I just hope that the battery will hold a charge for a while. It seems a lot of other battery type fillers the battery will neither hold a charge or will die before toping off 4 car tires. Built in gauge is about three PSI over the true pressure.
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: Thank you for your feedback. This air pump is perfectly suitable for re-inflating an automobile tire that has lost some of its air pressure. However, it is not recommended for initial inflation of an automobile tire. The battery should be charged over 3 hours before first use. Typical run-time will vary depending on the battery level, pressure load during use, and the operating conditions. High-pressure loading, or excessive back pressure will result in a shorter run-time. Cold temperature conditions will reduce battery run-time. Using the 12V adapter pack during cold temperatures is recommended.

Extremely Impressive
By Bob the Lad
from Louisville KY
I've used it on only one of our cars so far. No other tires have been low yet. I pumped up two tires. It was quick and very convenient to do this right in the garage. So far I am very satisfied with this product. To me it was one of those items that wows you when you see it and use it - like it was beyond expectations.

Automatic Cordless Tire Inflator
By scootchn
from Los Angeles, CA
It is useful when not a large volume of air is required. Have only used it to top off slightly low tires and it worked well. Will have to wait and see about durability. Like that it can be pulled into the car and not rely wholly on battery.

Terrific Product!
By LadyWolf
from Northern Virginia
Great product! Love the fact that you don't need a separate tire gauge to see how much air is in your tires! The only drawback is that the air pump runs a lot more slowly when you use it with the rechargeable battery instead of plugging it into your car's cigarette lighter. When I plugged it into the lighter it took a lot less time to fill the tires.

About ChampagneView a map of Champagne wineries Champagne is both a region and a method. The wines come from the northernmost vineyards in France and the name conjures an image like no other can. An 18th Century Benedictine monk named Dom Perignon is said to be the first to blend both varietals and vintages, making good wines not only great, but also special and unique to their winemaker. Today, nearly 75% of Champagne produced is non-vintage and made up by a blend of several years' harvests.
All Champagnes must be made by a strictly controlled process called "Méthode Champenoise." The grapes are pressed and fermented for the first time. The blending phase follows and the wine is bottled and temporarily capped. Then comes the second fermentation, a blend of sugar and yeast is added and, this time, the carbon dioxide is kept inside the bottle. This process leaves a great deal of sediment that is extracted through a process of "racking" or "riddling." The bottles are progressively turned upside down until all the sediment is collected in the neck. The necks are then frozen and the sediment is "disgorged." After this phase, the winemaker may decide to add sugar to sweeten the wine. Finally the wine is corked. Some wines move through this process in a couple of months, while others are aged after the riddling phase to build greater complexity and depth.
Champagnes range from dry, "Brut," to slightly sweet, "Demi-Sec." Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes are used in Champagne blends, but "Blancs de Noirs" is made entirely of Pinot Noir and "Blancs de Blanc" is made from only Chardonnay grapes. The high acidity achieved by the northern location is crucial to the balance and structure of these wines.
Not every year is a "vintage" declared. In years when it is not, the wines are blended with the produce from other years to create the non-vintage blend, the house style that remains constant from year to year. But in a great vintage year, champagne houses will bottle by itself the unblended year's produce, and use other portions as "reserve" wines to supplement and enrich the non-vintage blend. A vintage champagne can age quite gracefully, and gain complexity just like any other great still wine.
Mild cheeses like gruyere and shellfish pair nicely with Champagne. Also, oysters and Champagne is a popular combination. A full-flavored vintage Champagne can go with almost any meal.
About France - Other regionsWhen it comes to wine, France is a classic. Classic blends, grapes and styles began in the country and they still remain. Think about it - people ask for a Burgundian style Pinot Noir, they refer to wines as Bordeaux or Rhone blends - Champagne even had to pass a law to stop international wineries from putting their region on the label of all sparkling wine.
The top regions of France are: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Languedoc-Roussillon, Loire, Rhone. And these regions are so diverse! It makes sense that wine regions throughout the world try to emulate their style. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are no longer French varieties, but international varieties. They may not be the leader of cutting edge technology or value-priced wines, but there is no doubt that they are still producing wines of great quality and diversity.

Related story: Fontana police dog recovering after being thrown out of window
A Fontana police dog may need surgery for head injuries after he was thrown out of a second-story window by a wanted parolee, police said Tuesday.
Jaris, a 6 1/2-year-old Belgian malinois, was taken to a veterinary specialist in Orange County on Monday for X-rays.
Police had hoped Jaris would be back at work next week, but on Tuesday they noticed more swelling on his nose and a bulge on his forehead.
"As much as we thought he was out of the woods, he's not," said police Sgt. Tom Yarrington.
Police sent Jaris into a home in the 9500 block of Mango Avenue on Sunday to take Bryan Bills, 28, of Fontana into custody.
Bills was listed as an armed and dangerous parolee who was wanted back in custody.
When the dog ran toward Bills, the man used the dog's momentum to throw him out of an open window. Jaris fell and landed on his head on the concrete below.
On Monday, Fontana police were unsure if Jaris had suffered brain damage from the fall.
A veterinarian who specializes in police service dogs found no other injuries besides a large gash on the dog's head. But officers on Tuesday noticed swelling on Jaris.
Police said the veterinary specialist suggested it could be from damage between his sinus and brain. The specialist asked police to bring the dog in for another examination.
Jaris appeared to be in good spirits Tuesday, despite being sedated and having a bandage around his head. Officer Steve Bechtold comforted his canine colleague.
"He's my partner. He's with me 24/7," Bechtold said.

Listen to Justin Timberlake on iHeartRadio
Justin Timberlake's recent concert in Philadelphia was absolutely full of excitement. Not only did he flip off a fan, who was giving the singer the bird from the second row, but he was showered with a little physical love from another fan during the show.
"Why are you flipping me off? You got second row to flip me the bird?" he had asked the female fan before continuing on with the show. "That makes no f*cking sense. You wanted me to see it? But you're in the second row, you didn't have to flip me off. I see you in the second row. OK, it worked. It worked."
Later: while making his rounds to one side of the stage, JT turned his back for a split second, and that was enough time for a fan to take a shot at grabbing his butt. It was quick, but he was able to slap the fan away. Chuckles ensue from the crowd.

Vatican Science on Christmas and Creationism
Christmas is a season of marvelous and mystical experiences, and maybe it seems churlish to let science and history intrude. What if the Star of Bethlehem was a comet? What if Christ was born in May instead of December? What if the whole literal Biblical picture of how we came to be here is open to question (as it certainly is)? Would that ruin the Christmas experience somehow? Would we grown-ups feel like children who'd had Santa Claus snatched away from them?
Some would, for sure. But this emotionally dangerous ground between faith and science, metaphysics and physics, is familiar territory for Bishop Marcelo Sánchez Sorondo, a friend and fellow countryman of the Argentine-born Pope Francis.
Bishop Sánchez is the chancellor of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences. It is housed in an elegant little building surrounded by gardens right in the heart of the Vatican, and it promises to be the epicenter of some seismic controversies to come.
Atheists and fundamentalists, both, will be tempted to say the whole notion of a pontifical academy of science is a contradiction in terms. Back in the fiery heyday of the Inquisition, after all, pontiffs and scientists were in deadly opposition, just as Bible-waving Evangelicals and cold-blooded evolutionists are squared off today in the creationist wars that plague American education.
But over the centuries the views of the Catholic Church have evolved, in fact, and conservatives are going to be shocked once again by the way this papacy broadens its message of reconciliation to include an ever-wider spectrum of humanity, including skeptical scientific researchers and intellectuals.
"If we don't accept science, we don't accept reason," says Sánchez, "and reason was created by God."
The academy, which in various forms dates back to the early 17th century, is today avowedly "non-sectarian" and includes among its 80 members many non-Catholics, non-Christians and, it is fair to say, some non-believers, not to mention some of the most famous scientists and social scientists in the world. Over the years, scores of the academy's members have won Nobel Prizes, including the awards for chemistry, physics, medicine and economics.

Israel, U.S. Team For Target Missile Test
(Jerusalem) -- The Israeli Defense Ministry says it carried out a successful test on a experimental target missile, in cooperation with the U.S. A statement posted on the ministry's Facebook page says the missile, called Anchor, was launched from a base in the central part of Israel this morning. The posting says the launch was conducted in cooperation with the American Agency for MIssile Defense, though U.S. officials stressed earlier today that U.S. forces were not involved in any launch.
The missile test sparked alarm after Russian news agency RIA reported a "ballistic" launch in the Mediterranean Sea. The two ballistic objects reportedly fell into the sea after traveling toward the east. Following the Russian report, U.S. officials said there had been no missile launches by American forces. Israel also denied any knowledge of a missile launch following the news agency report.

Jets cheerleader is the latest to file a lawsuit over low wages
A cheerleader for the New York Jets is following the lead of cheerleaders from 3 other teams, by filing a lawsuit against her employer for low wages. According to ESPN, the cheerleader, named as Krystal C. has filed a lawsuit in New Jersey against the Jets.
The former cheerleader, who worked for the team for one season in 2012, claims the team paid her a flat fee of $150 on game day, and $100 for all other events she worked. The lawsuit claims that the cheerleaders were also required to attend unpaid practices and charity events.
The Star Ledger reports that when total hours are factored in the cheerleaders made only $3.77/hour and after other job-related expenses are counted, such as travel and required hair appointments, their wages dropped to a paltry $1.50/hour. Minimum wage in New Jersey in 2012 was $7.25/hour, and has since been raised to $8.25/hour.
Krystal is being represented by the same law firm that filed a similar lawsuit against the Oakland Raiders back in January.

Sugarland's Kristian Bush 'officially' finishing debut solo album
Listen to Sugarland on iHeartRadio
Sugarland's Kristian Bush is following in partner Jennifer Nettles' footsteps, and branching out on his own.
The country star has announced on his website that he's "officially putting the finishing touches" on his first solo album. He explains that over the past two years he's "written close to 300 songs," which he's whittled down to 15 possible tracks for the disc. But Bush says he still has some studio work to do, as well as settle on a final track list. He adds that he also has to do "everything that goes along with an album release," like selecting singles, creating album art, promotions, and more. But Kristian says he's hoping that "someday, in the not-so-distant future," his album will be in the hands of his fans.
The Sugarland stars began pursuing independent projects after the birth of Nettles' baby in December 2012. Kristian released his first solo single, "Love or Money," in Europe in March 2013 as a "thank you" to fans supporting the inaugural "C2C: Country to Country" music festival in London. The track became available in the U.S. seven months later.
Nettles released her debut solo album, "That Girl," back in January. But both Bush and Nettles say Sugarland has not split up.

Source of Stonehenge's rocks pinpointed
(NEWSER) – For nine decades, it's been established that many of Stonehenge's smaller rocks hail from the Preseli Hills in Wales. Now, a newly published study says that we've been wrong about an outcrop that has been accepted as a specific source since 1923. And the new research, published in February's issue of Journal of Archaeological Science, suggests the rocks—known as bluestones, of which there are many types—may not have been transported there by humans at all. As head researcher Dr. Richard Bevins explains, in 1923, geologist H.H. Thomas identified Carn Meini as the source of spotted dolerite bluestones, but a new analysis of the rocks' chemical makeup has fingered Carn Goedog as the true home of at least 55% of those used at Stonehenge, reportsPlanet Earth.

Ship Weight:0.20 Click here to read a PDF brochure on this product Indigo Wild Zum Whiff Sticks Diffuser Oil Refill Frankincense & Myrrh - 4 oz.Atmosphere feeling stiff?Dunk these sticks and take a whiff. With Frankincense & Myrrh essential oils, this aromatherapy says open sesame to lossen up the juju.On the first use, just pour the oils into the vase, dip and flip the sticks. After that, flip your sticks once a week. Frequently Asked Questions Is their soap made using the Cold Process Method?Yes, they make soap the old fashioned way-from scratch. Zum Bars are made from a combination of fats (natural oils) with a lye solution until a process of saponification takes place. Saponification is a chemical process, which converts a fat into soap by reaction with an alkali (also known as "lye"). Saponification occurs as the raw materials are combined, stirred and neutralized. As a result of this process, a very important by product emerges-Glycerin, which is a natural skin softener and the foundation of all natural soap. Why goats milk?Goats milk is naturally ultra-moisturizing. Goats milk soap contains capric, caprylic and capronic acids and natural occurring triglycerides. Otherwise known as good fats. The result is a pH level that is good for healthy human hair and skin, while commercial soap can dry out the skin to the point at which it feels taut and itchy. The oil glands are forced to counteract, overproducing oils in an attempt to rebalance the pH of the skin. The result can be oily skin, clogged pores, blackheads and yuck - pimples. Do they use lye in their soap?Yes, they do use lye in their soap making process. They use sodium hydroxide in our soaps. All soaps (excluding detergent bars, which are totally synthetic and chemical laden) are made with lye but no lye is left in the finished soap. Our soaps are balanced so the chemical reaction has the correct amounts of both lye and oil for a balanced reaction. The result is that our soap is very close to neutral. What is the burn time on their candles?Their Zum Glow candles burn for approx. 30 hours and the mini Zum Glows burn for approx. 10-12 hours. How do they color their soaps?They use ultramarines and iron oxides for our colorants. They never use FD&C colorings in any of our products. All of the colors in the soaps are all scented the same. For instance, with lavender-mint the blue is not lavender and the green is not mint. The same goes for sandalwood-citrus. Both colors are scented the same. Do they test their products on animals?They do not test our products on animals. They love to test them on ourselves and our friends and family. What are the ingredients in their products?They use the most awesome ingredients made from the earth! They have a full listing of ingredients posted on our website. What do they use as preservatives?For the products that require preservatives, they use tocopherol (vitamin e), rosemary oleoresin and potassium sorbate. Where does shea butter come from?Their shea butter is extracted from the nut of the Karite tree in Africa. No solvents or hexane are used in this process. What is the shelf life of their products?Because our products are all natural it is best to use them up. I've found Zum Bars that I had tucked away in a drawer for two years and they are wonderful! The scent fades over time but it is still a great bar of soap. The lotions should probably be used within a year of the purchase date. Keep all products out of direct sunlight and heat. You can even put them in the refrigerator to extend their shelf life. What is the best soap for my face?They highly recommend our Zum Lab Facial Soaps which were created specifically for the face. But of course the Oatmeal-Lavender and the Wee Bar make great facial soaps too. Lemongrass, Tea Tree-Citrus, and Lime-Basil are great for oily skin. Do they have any vegan products?Zum Glow, Zum Body, Zum Tub, Zum Mist, Zum Oil, eau de zum, ZAR aftershave tonic and roll-on cologne are all vegan products. Some retailers don't charge for shipping. Why is their shipping so high?Unlike Amazon.com, Lands End or Pottery Barn they are a very small company and have negotiated the best rate possible with FedEx, which for us is the most economical and efficient way to ship. They feel that our shipping rates are comparable with major catalog retailers. They do not look at shipping as a profit center and actually lose thousands of dollars in shipping costs every year. Which for a company our size really hurts! They are charged extra for every residential delivery along with a penalty if the customer simply lists, for example "Main" as their address rather than "Main Street". There are also fuel surcharges for most deliveries. As they grow and ship more boxes they will be able to negotiate a better rate with FedEx and will definitely pass that on to our customers. Where did they get the name "zum"?Zum is simply a play on the word "some". As in "This sure is "zum" bar of soap!" Where The Indigo Wild Things AreBefore Indigo Wild touches your body, it touches these bodies. No worries, Indigo's Wild is not showering with your soap singing "I'm Too Sexy" before they ship it off to you. Their talking handcrafted, handmade, hand-mixed, hands-on…which is all pretty dang handsome. So take a spin with Indigo Wild's handy work. It's mixed and mashed with 100% pure essential oils, shea butter, meadowfoam seed oil, soy wax, goat's milk, botanical extracts and other jujulicious ingredients. It all helps to carry on some karma and magnify the mojo. Then it's flashed by the butt of a gnome, danced over by a shaman, kissed by a fairy and blessed by a goat. At Indigo Wild, they love dogs and hate breast cancer. Many of their own pups are rescues, and they are active in Kansas City Sheltie Rescue. They also have some badass cancer fighters in their ranks, and they are working with some great local charities to support cancer warriors.

IFSAC To Hold Webinar
The Interagency Food Safety Analytics Collaboration (IFSAC) is sponsoring a webinar on Tuesday, June 18, 2013, from 4:00-5:00 PM EDT. The webinar will describe IFSAC's activities and provide an update on its project to improve classification of foods into different categories for attribution analysis.
Preventing foodborne illness is a goal FSIS shares with other agencies and organizations, and those food safety partners can contribute needed expertise and resources to this common effort. For this reason, FSIS established goals in the agency's 2011-2016 Strategic Plan to both reduce foodborne illness from FSIS-regulated products and strengthen collaboration among internal and external stakeholders to prevent foodborne illness (Goals 1 and 4, respectively).
In working to meet this goal, FSIS, FDA and CDC, formed IFSAC in 2011. This tri-agency analytic collaboration is focused on projects related to foodborne illness source attribution, which includes improving the data and methods used to estimate the proportion of foodborne illnesses that are caused by specific contaminated foods. Improving those estimates will improve FSIS' ability to measure and assess its effectiveness on reducing foodborne illness.
To register for the webinar, entitled "Improving the Categories Used to Classify Foods Implicated in Outbreaks," go to http://ifsac-webinar-201306.eventbrite.com.

Report: Mathew Knowles files defamation lawsuit against 'The Sun'
Listen to Beyonce on iHeartRadio
Beyonce's father Mathew Knowles is suing Rupert Murdoch-owned British tabloid "The Sun." According to "The Wrap," Knowles is claiming an article about him published back in March contains "malicious and false statements."
Among the alleged falsehoods from the piece written by reporter Georgina Dickinson was that Knowles had gone through a "bitter rift with his famous daughter" and that he'd never met his granddaughter Blue Ivy, now over a year old.
The suit also says that when Mathew confronted the reporter about how she'd allegedly misrepresented him, she had said that someone at "The Sun" had changed the story that she'd originally filed and published a different one.
Knowles is suing the tabloid for defamation and breach of contract, seeking unspecified damages.

The School Shootings You Didn't Hear About - One Every Two Weeks Since Newtown
In the year since 20 first-graders were shot and killed at Sandy Hook Elementary, another school shooting has taken place in America every two weeks on average.
These events aren't necessarily the types of tragedies that come to mind when one thinks of "school shootings"—madmen in fatigues roaming school hallways, strapped with automatic-style guns, murdering indiscriminately—nor do they receive the media attention of such mass shootings. But they can be similarly traumatizing for students and staff, and they have led to at least 24 injuries and 17 deaths over the past year, The Daily Beast has found.
Using data culled from media reports and collected in part by the gun-control advocacy group Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, we tallied 24 school shootings during 2013—that is, shootings that occurred on school campuses when students were present. Shootings that took place after hours on school grounds were not included.
Our count includes shootings that resulted in no fatalities as well as those where the only victim was the shooter, such as the case of 17-year-old Joseph Poynter, a junior at La Salle High School in Cincinnati, who in April brought a gun from home and "placed it to his right temple and discharged one round into his head" in front of a classroom full of students, according to police reports.
Two thirds of these shootings took place on high school and college campuses. The remainder took place in middle schools or elementary schools, like the one in which Adam Lanza killed 20 students, six adults, and then himself a year ago this week. The shootings occurred in 15 states across the country, with the highest concentration in Florida (five) and Georgia (three).
