Besse Cooper celebrates her 116th birthday in Monroe, Ga., on Aug. 26, 2012. Her secrets? “I mind my own business. And I don’t eat junk food.” Georgia woman Besse Cooper, the world’s oldest person, celebrated her 116th birthday on Sunday to become only the eighth person in the world and the fourth American to ever have been verified by Guinness World Records as having reached that age. Story: Accomplishing amazing athletic feats — in their 80s and 90s Cooper, who was born in Tennessee in 1896, was first certified as the world’s oldest person by Guinness in January 2011, but briefly had to give up her title for a few months when Guinness verified that ...

German customs seized a $1.2 million violin from a professional musician and are demanding she pay almost $500,000 to get it back, reports said on Wednesday. Belgium-based Yuzuko Horigome was transiting through Frankfurt Airport last week after performing in her home country Japan, the top-selling Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper said. When she tried to walk through the green gate for travellers arriving in the EU with nothing to declare, customs officers stopped her and said she needed to pay €190,000 in duty on her 1741 Guarnerius violin. On top of this were fines, taking the total cost to an eye-popping €380,000 euros, the Tokyo-based paper said. Customs confiscated the ...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The former U.S. Navy SEAL who authored a soon-to-be-published book about the raid that killed Osama bin Laden is now facing threats against his life in addition to possible criminal prosecution. An official al Qaeda website on Friday posted a photograph and the name of the former Navy commando responsible for the book, calling him "the dog who murdered the martyr Sheikh Osama bin Laden." The head of U.S. Special Operations Command told current and former troops that the military would take legal action against anyone found to have exposed sensitive information that could cause harm to fellow forces. "We will pursue every option available to hold ...

Photos Of Athletes: Nobody Notices Nuthin' By Steve Sailer on August 24, 2012 at 10:03am With the news today that Lance Armstrong is surrendering his seven Tour de France cycling titles, I want to return to my rant from last weekthat nobody seems to notice anything when famous celebrities look a little odd. Here, for example, is a picture of the veteran tennis-playing Williams Sisters from the cover of the upcoming New York Times Sunday Magazine. Venus, on the left, looks like an enormously tall and extremely athletic woman in the peak of physical shape. As I recall, when Venus emerged as a pro in the 1990s, she set a record for velocity of service speed for a woman. So, Venus is ...

It was not vetted by government agencies to ensure that no secrets were revealed. "The book was vetted by a former special operations ...

Are police needed at minor car accidents; a dent or a scratch? A German police chief says they are wasting their time on such matters. Is he right, or should a cop be there to ensure everything is done properly? Have your say. Minor traffic accidents 'waste police time' - Society (14 Aug 12) Hubert Wimber, president of the Münster police force says about a third of his officers’ time is taken up dealing with minor traffic accidents which really don’t need police presence to be sorted out. Adults should be able to deal with the consequences of a small prang – exchanging details and making sure all is in order. Wimber said his officers would be better deployed ...
Plant wildflowers not corn, say beekeepers

German beekeepers worried that too much corn will lead to a decline in bee populations are proposing wildflowers be used to fuel biogas plants instead. "For beekeepers, growing wild plants for biogas installations would be the ideal alternative to corn," said Petra Friedrich of the German Beekeepers Association. As Germany transitions away from nuclear energy, the production of biogas has become increasingly important. New biogas plants are cropping up around the country, and at present there are about 7,100 in Germany, many of which use corn as fuel. And that’s a problem for bees. “Corn isn’t that attractive for bees,” Friedrich told The Local. Bees, ...

Your toilet could be a ticking time bomb. A problem with flushing mechanisms that causes toilets to explode has prompted a recall of 2.3 million toilets in the U.S. and 9,400 in Canada. There have already been 304 complaints of exploding devices bursting, causing 14 "impact or laceration injuries," according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. Flushmate, the company that installed the faulty flusher, has established a website for customers to enter the serial number of their toilets to find out if they need to replace their toilet. They can also receive a repair kit. According to the company, "The affected Flushmate III Series 503 units can burst at or near the ...

ScienceDaily (Aug. 14, 2012) — Consumers enjoy products more in the long run if they don't overuse them when first purchased, according to a new study in the Journal of Consumer Research. "Consumers are naturally prone to consume products they enjoy too rapidly for their own good, growing tired of them more quickly than they would if they slowed down," write authors Jeff Galak (Carnegie Mellon University), Justin Kruger (New York University), and George Loewenstein (Carnegie Mellon University). We often face decisions about how rapidly to consume products we enjoy: how quickly to eat a favorite dessert; how often to listen to a favorite song; or how frequently to play ...

Just southwest of downtown Los Angeles, there are 10 parking lot enforcement employees to monitor the 1.3-square-mile beach city. Guess what these 10 lucky guys and gals are making each year? Close to $100K. The two highest paid parking meter maid employees – supervisors – made more than $92,000 and $93,000 respectively according to city documents retrieved by Patrick “Kit” Bobko, one of five council members and who also serves as mayor pro tem. But don't think the other eight employees were being jipped. The lowest paid meter maid employee made a more-than-comfortable salary of $67,367. Prices for the other seven ranged from that rate all the way to $84,267. ...
