"We know that consumers have relied on the American Heart Association’s Heart-Check mark to easily identify heart-healthy foods for more than 15 years,” said Dr. Rachel Johnson, Ph.D., R.D., the Bickford Green and Gold Professor of Nutrition at the University of Vermont and an American Heart Association spokesperson. “Adding nuts, fish and other foods that are rich sources of good fats, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, enhances the program and gives more healthy options consumers can choose with the same trust factor.” According to a survey of 500 health professionals, almonds are the nut they most recommend for heart health benefits.3"

New MIT Climate Report
He’s talking here about problems resulting from global warming.
These problems could all be solved by an international economic focus on putting people to work to develop renewable energy. People from research scientists to engineers to laborers to white-collar professionals would all be employable in the transition with real, non-outsourceable jobs in every country on earth; a global climate disaster would possibly be averted; and there would be no more need to bomb people in desert countries that happen to have oil underneath them. Win-win-win. It’s a time of extraordinary potential for humanity.

Rush and the Social Media Response
The number of advertises leaving his show is certainly greater than nine at the point that I’m posting this. It’s going to be interesting to see where this ends up.
The New Networked Feminism: Limbaugh’s Spectacular Social Media Defeat - Forbes
At latest count, nine advertisers have pulled the plug on Limbaugh. Each was effectively targeted on Facebook and Twitter by an angry and vocal storm of thousands of people calling for direct action. The campaign was almost instantaneous, coordinated by no individual or organization, and entirely free of cost. Prominent feminist organizers told Forbes that it was social media’s terrible swift sword, led once again by Twitter and Facebook-savvy women, that dealt Limbaugh the worst humiliation of his controversial career, and in many ways, revealed the most potent “non-organized” organization to take the field on the social commons in the age of Occupy Wall Street and Anonymous.

Privatizing UK Police
This definitely doesn’t seem like a good idea.
Police privatisation plans defended by senior officers | UK news | The Guardian
Brian Paddick, the former Scotland Yard deputy assistant commissioner and Lib Dem candidate for London mayor, wrote on the Guardian’s Comment is Free website: “The British tradition of policing by consent, rather than by force and weight of numbers, is being eroded, and plans to use private security firms to carry out core policing tasks, as reported this weekend, will accelerate that process.”
Lynne Owens, the Surrey chief constable ruled out the use of private firms to patrol neighbourhoods: “Any suggestion that a private sector company will patrol the streets of Surrey is simply nonsense. It would be no more acceptable to the public than it would be to me,” she said.

And in case you're wondering, Don Imus got into the ring this morning to discuss Rush Limbaugh.
Imus expressed anger over Limbaugh’s apology, pointing out that it was done on his website and not in person.
“A lame apology on his website, in which he says he didn’t mean to personally attack her,” Imus said, “is gutless.” Imus took issue with Limbaugh’s “sustained, vile, personal attack” on Fluke over three days, and said that if he’s going to apologize, you have to “go sit down with her” and apologize.
“He’s a fat, gutless loser,” Imus added, “and if I’m running a radio station, he’s not on it… until he does that.”
Imus basically went through the same thing Rush did nearly five years ago, in which he spoke critically of female Rutgers University basketball players — a set of comments which cost him his radio and TV shows at the time.
