By Kay Henderson DES MOINES, Iowa (Reuters) – Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, who rallied members of the Tea Party in their failed effort to defund Obamacare, lashed out on Saturday against members of the Republican Party who agreed to end the government shutdown. The 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee’s comments during a speech in Des Moines come at a time of division within the party over the strategy conservative members of Congress adopted in forcing a 16-day shutdown of the federal government last month. Polls have shown voters blamed Republicans for the...
Don’t Stress Your Pets Out! [ BeritaTerkini ]
Pets lead a life of luxury. They can sleep all day, don't have to work, and can get room service no matter where they are. But sometimes these pampered pets can get sick of it all and just want to work a little. Lack of exercise, loneliness, jealousy, and being contained can contribute to a cat or dog feeling a little anxious and stressed out. Ever notice your dog acting a little down in the dumps during vacation? Your pet's life isn't all play and no work, and with changes in his environment as well as insufficient releases of energy, his day can be just as stressful as yours. Carole Wilbourn,...

Abercrombie & Fitch to Design Plus-Size Clothing Collection [ BeritaTerkini ]
von Jennifer Chan| Übersetzt von Jennifer Chan 8. November 2013 – 12:24 Looks like Abercrombie & Fitch is turning a new leaf. The mall retailer, which made headlines earlier this year when the brand’s CEO was under fire for declaring their core customers should be the attractive ‘cool kids’, thus, alienating a pretty sizable demographic of shoppers, has just announced that they will be launching a plus-size line in the coming months. Given the controversy earlier this year, it’s pretty shocking, to say the least, and we’re guessing that this decision was made more in desperation...
Herbal Supplements Are Often Not What They Seem – New York Times [ BeritaTerkini ]
Not-So-Herbal Supplements: A study using DNA testing offers perhaps the most credible evidence to date of adulteration, contamination and mislabeling in the herbal supplement industry. Americans spend an estimated $ 5 billion a year on unproven herbal supplements that promise everything from fighting off colds to curbing hot flashes and boosting memory. But now there is a new reason for supplement buyers to beware: DNA tests show that many pills labeled as healing herbs are little more than powdered rice and weeds. Using a test called DNA...
Herbal Supplements: Are You Getting What You Pay For? – Care2.com [ BeritaTerkini ]
A controversial new study published in the journal BMC Medicine found that one-third of 44 herbal supplements tested showed no detectable amounts of the plant advertised on the bottle. The researchers used DNA barcoding, a type of genetic fingerprinting, to determine the contents of the herbal supplements manufactured from 12 companies representing 30 herb species and selected from Canadian and American stores. Big newspapers like The New York Times immediately published an article based on the study’s results called “Herbal Supplements are Often Not What They Seem.” But perhaps the article’s...

Many herbal products mislabeled, contain allergens as fillers – Ars Technica [ BeritaTerkini ]
Flickr user SuperFantastic Many modern medicines are derived from plant products, with the active chemical components having been identified and made synthetically. But there are plenty of plants that have (or are thought to have) medicinal properties that haven't been turned into pharmaceuticals. That fact, along with a misguided sense that "natural" probably means "better," has helped turn herbal remedies and supplements into a multi-billion dollar business. Unlike the strict regulatory oversight faced by the pharmaceutical industry, however, herbal products are a bit of a Wild...

By Jonathan Kaminsky OLYMPIA, Washington (Reuters) – The Washington state Senate on Saturday passed a measure to extend nearly $ 9 billion in tax breaks for Boeing through 2040 in an embattled effort to entice the company to locate production of its newest jet, the 777X, in the Seattle area. Lawmakers acknowledged, however, that their efforts would likely be undermined if the airplane maker’s key machinists union votes down a proposed labor contract due to go to before the membership on Wednesday. A contract locking in Boeing’s labor costs, along with the tax incentives,...
