WALLINGFORD, Conn. (WTNH) — The Connecticut Better Business Bureau is warning people about a new website that’s taking advantage of soldiers and their families. The BBB says “My Army Benefits” website found at usmilitarybenefit.org, is not a real site and is not affiliated or endorsed by the U.S. Army. The site claims that it is designed to “collect soldiers’ Army Knowledge Online, email accounts and passwords.” Investigators say the site falsely claims that the “U.S. military has granted access to unclaimed and accumulated benefits for active duty soldiers, and that benefits not claimed within the stipulated period will be available for claims ...

EAST RUTHERFORD -- The Brooklyn man arrested after he interrupted Super Bowl XLVIII MVP Malcolm Smith's postgame news conference didn't start Sunday looking to make it onto national TV and, ultimately, into handcuffs. UPDATE: Private security workers at fault for letting 9/11 truther crash game, news conference. Matthew Mills, an 30-year-old independent journalist from Brooklyn, told NJ.com his aim was just to get close to MetLife Stadium -- which had layers of security in what's supposed to be the most secure sporting event in the United States -- so he could conduct some fan interviews. Then the self-described 9/11 truther saw an employee bus at Secaucus Junction and ...

CoastZone E-Newsletter February 15, Dream Messages: In the first half of the program, author and expert on the paranormal, Rosemary Ellen Guiley talks about dream visits from the dead, and her recent book Dream Messages from the Afterlife . "Everybody has one of these kinds of dreams at least once in life," she observed, "and they are so powerful that people never forget them." While the means by which these dreams occur remains a mystery, Guiley suggested that, based on her research, such an event requires "an impetus on both sides." To that end, she noted that dream visitors from the 'other side' often reveal that the process is difficult and only ...

Ralph Waite, Patriarch in ‘The Waltons,’ Dies at 85

Ralph Waite, a multifaceted actor who became etched in television history as the craggy-faced, big-hearted patriarch of a rustic Depression-era clan on the popular 1970s dramatic series “The Waltons,” died on Thursday at his home in Palm Desert, Calif. He was 85. “The Waltons” made its debut on CBS in September 1972 against two already popular shows: Flip Wilson’s irreverent comedy-variety show on NBC and, on ABC, “Mod Squad,” a drama about young undercover police officers. What some saw as a cornball newcomer was expected to be buried, but within two seasons it had driven its competitors off the air. The success of “The Waltons” owed much to the ...

What if laboratories could run comprehensive DNA tests on infants at birth, spotting important variations in their genomes that might indicate future medical problems? Should parents be told of each variation, even if any risk is still unclear? Would they even want to know? New parents needn’t confront these difficult questions just yet. The more than four million babies born in 2014 in the United States will likely be screened in traditional ways — by public health programs that check for sickle cell anemia and several dozen other serious, treatable conditions. So far, DNA-based tests of infants play only a small part in screening. But that may change in the next few years, ...

The Daily Caller... Administrators on the main campus of Rutgers University in New Brunswick, N.J. have suspended a renowned anthropology professor because he told students that he knows nothing about the subject matter in a course school officials assigned him to teach. The professor, Robert Trivers, had objected to teaching a course called “Human Aggression” this fall, reports The Star-Ledger. However, his anthropology department superiors told him he had to teach the class anyway. In the first lecture, Trivers informed the 30 or so Rutgers undergrads who had signed up for the class that his plan was to learn the course materials gamely along with them. He observed that he ...
Foreign Aid? It's Being Flushed Down the Toilet Faster Than You Think

The economy of Mexico is the 13th largest in the world and the 11th in buying power. British economist Jim O’Neill, former head of asset management for Goldman Sachs, said recently that, “Mexico has a unique opportunity to steal the thunder of no less a giant than China.” Remember Ross Perot’s warning about that giant sucking sound of jobs going south of the border because of the North America Free Trade Agreement? It’s turned out to be a whirlpool. According to 2013 Census Bureau data, the U.S. had a trade surplus with Mexico of $1.6 billion in 1993, but that has plunged full speed to a trade deficit of $50.1 billion last year. Yet the amount of foreign aid that ...

diets high in sugar are linked with increased risks for fatal heart disease
Post Date: 2014-02-06 22:34:46 by Tatarewicz

CHICAGO (AP) — Could too much sugar be deadly? The biggest study of its kind suggests the answer is yes, at least when it comes to fatal heart problems. It doesn't take all that much extra sugar, hidden in many processed foods, to substantially raise the risk, the researchers found, and most Americans eat more than the safest amount. Having a cinnamon roll with your morning coffee, a super-sized sugary soda at lunch and a scoop of ice cream after dinner would put you in the highest risk category in the study. That means your chance of dying prematurely from heart problems is nearly three times greater than for people who eat only foods with little added sugar. For someone who ...

(Texas) Wendy Davis used campaign funds to pay for luxury apartments, records show

Embattled Democratic gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis has spent more than $131,000 in campaign funds to pay for luxury apartments in Austin, Texas, since her election to the Texas State Senate in 2008, according to a Washington Free Beacon analysis. While such use of campaign funds is legal in Texas, the amounts involved and properties rented may undermine Davis’s campaign persona of a working class single mom, observers tell the Free Beacon. Davis, whose permanent address is in Fort Worth, lists government accountability as a primary issue on her campaign website, which says she opposes elected officials who “have turned state agencies and programs into their own personal ...
