FDA Approves GMO Salmon
Just ran across these articles...
Late last week, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved AquAdvantage salmon—the first edible genetically engineered animal to earn such an approval. The salmon, produced by AquaBounty Technologies, are genetically engineered (GE) with DNA that causes them to grow to market size much faster than other salmon. And while many advocates have shown concern over the fish in recent years, the FDA has declared it safe to eat.
The AquAdvantage salmon will only be raised in contained, inland facilities in Panama, from eggs produced in Canada. Once harvested, they will be imported for sale in the U.S. But exactly when they could show up on store shelves remains uncertain. “It is too early to discuss commercialization plans, but there are several paths to market that are being considered,” AquaBounty spokesperson Dave Conley told Civil Eats.
When the GE salmon does reach consumer audiences, will consumers be able to identify it? Probably not.
According to the “voluntary guidelines for GMO labeling” the FDA proposed when they approved the salmon last week, that decision will be left entirely up to the companies selling the fish. In their guidelines the FDA is suggesting—not requiring—that manufacturers “should consider” keeping records documenting whether or not their product is genetically engineered. The agency has also proposed that if companies do opt to label the salmon, the labels they use must meet existing FDA rules that manufacturers’ claims are “truthful and not misleading.”
When it comes to fresh or frozen fish, eagle-eyed shoppers will, however, have a few clues with which to work. Because the AquAdvantage salmon will be raised in Panama, it will have to carry the country-of-origin (COOL) label required by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). These rules also require imported fish sold by retailers to be labeled as “farm-raised” or “wild caught.” So if shoppers see “farm-raised” and “Product of Panama” all on one package, the salmon could well be genetically engineered by AquaBounty.
Right now, Center for Food Safety policy analyst Jaydee Hanson says, “no other salmon is being raised commercially in Panama.” But there’s no guarantee that will remain the case.
Fish that has been processed—cooked or combined with other ingredients in a product like a frozen entrée with sauce or a salmon burger—has another set of labeling rules entirely. Salmon in these forms are exempt from COOL requirements. So are restaurants and what the USDA calls “food service establishments,” like cafeterias. The agency explains that while restaurant suppliers must make country-of-origin information and farmed or wild caught information “available” to their buyers, the restaurants themselves are not required to share this information with their customers.
Either way, if the FDA’s proposed voluntary labeling guidelines are approved, Just Label It executive director Scott Faber says, “consumers will have no way of knowing whether the salmon they are buying comes from nature or from a lab.”
Is GE Salmon an “Animal Drug”?
On a technical note, AquaBounty’s salmon was approved through legal maneuvering under the federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act that has allowed the GE salmon to be approved as an “animal drug.” And it turns out, this could further obscure what the public knows about GE fish—or other GE food animals that may eventually be approved.
“Lawyers at FDA figured out they could use the definition of a drug in the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, [which says] a drug involves any substance that is intended to change the structure or function of an organism,” Dartmouth College professor of environmental studies and Union of Concerned Scientists board chair Anne Kapuscinski explained to Civil Eats. “They said, ‘we could stretch that to cover the transgene inserted into an animal whose intent is to change the function of the organism.’”
Why does this matter to general public? Because the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act “requires the FDA to keep the entire drug application process secret unless the applicant wants to make it public,” Kapuscinski explained. In the case of the AquaBounty GE salmon, the process was made public, but “that doesn’t mean others will be,” she said.
Of course, retailers’ willingness is another important piece of the puzzle. Several including Costco, Safeway, and Kroger have said they have no plans to sell the AquAdvantage salmon. Other supermarket chains and retailers, including Target, Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, and Aldi have made similar announcements. Last week, Walmart—a likely candidate—said it was too busy with “Black Friday” planning to comment.
Advocates are also concerned about the precedent this approval sets. Although the U.S. is the first nation to approve the salmon, Food and Water Watch’s Lovera says, “We’re very concerned about foreign markets. A lot of people take the FDA as a green-light.”

Beijing issues a red alert because of the smog levels, equivalent of smoking 40 cigs a day mayne.
Beijing has issued its first ever “red alert” over the city’s smog, with the Chinese capital going into shutdown in an attempt to protect people from the deadly air.
It is the first time ever that the highest possible state of caution has been declared in the city, which has more than 21 million residents.
The warning means schools will have to close down and construction and other industry in the capital will be limited.
Smog levels are actually lowe than they have been in recent weeks. But authorities expect an extreme amount of pollution over the coming days, and have imposed the order to ensure safety during that time.
The order will last from Tuesday morning local time until midday on Thursday, when the weather is expected to change and blow away the smog.
The city had already been in a state of orange alert, which meant some construction and industry was being curbed. The city had also issued a ruling that said cars with odd and even number plates would be stopped from driving on alternate days.
In some parts of Beijing, people can only see around 200m. The air is also packed with poisonous particles that mean that people could become ill simply from being outside.
Air pollution monitors showed areas of Beijing had more than 256 micrograms per cubic metre of the poisonous particles. The World Health Organisation (WHO) says anything over 25 micrograms is considered unsafe.
The poisonous smog in Beijing is caused by the burning of coal for industry and heating, and huge amounts of dust from the city’s many construction sites. The problem is being made yet worse by high humidity and low wind.
Last week, Greenpeace called on Beijing to issue a red alert, after four days of what it called “Airpocalypse”.
Shit is so smoged up, Hong Kong had to put up a banner of the skyline cause niggas couldn't take tourist pics

Report: Nike signs LeBron to lifetime deal, its largest ever
http://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nba/report-nike-signs-lebron-to-lifetime-deal-its-largest-ever/ar-AAg82dy?li=BBnbfcL
Ever since he entered the league in 2003, Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James has worn Nike basketball shoes. In fact, it's an easy shorthand for keeping track of how many seasons James has been an NBA player. The "LeBron 13" came out this year; James is in his 13th season.
That trend will reportedly continue for the rest of James' career. According to ESPN's Darren Rovell, Nike signed James to a lifetime deal, the largest guarantee to a single athlete in the company's history:
James' business partner, Maverick Carter, told ESPN that he and LeBron have been "in love and obsessed with Nike" since they were kids:
The deal is reportedly the first of its kind, at least officially; as Rovell pointed out, it is assumed that Michael Jordan had a de facto lifetime deal with Nike.

T.I. To Cast In A&E’s 'Roots' Remake
A+E’s upcoming Roots remake is already loaded with A-list talent and the network recently opened their roster to one of Hip-Hop’s best actor with a one Clifford Joseph “T.I.” Harris, Jr.
Via The Hollywood Reporter:
A+E continues to draw big names for its upcoming Roots remake.
Rapper Tip “T.I.” Harris, Mekhi Phifer, James Purefoy, Matthew Goode, Lane Garrison, Emayatzy Corinealdi and G. Hannelius have signed on for the four-night, eight-hour miniseries event, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
Harris will play Cyrus, a headstrong slave who fights for his freedom for the Union Army against Confederate forces; Phifer will portray Jerusalem, a mute slave working on the Murray plantation who is not quite what he appears to be; Purefoy is cast as John Waller, a wealthy Virginia plantation owner who buys Kunta Kinte as a slave; Goode is set as Waller’s educated, charming brother, Dr. William Waller; Garrison is on board as Frederick Murray, a volatile, unpredictable Confederate officer and slave owner; Corinealdi will play Kunta Kinte’s wife, Belle; and Hannelius will portray John Waller’s daughter, Missy.
They join previously announced Forest Whitaker, Anna Paquin, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Laurence Fishburne, Anika Noni Rose, Chad L. Coleman, Erica Tazel, Derek Luke and newcomers Malachi Kirby and Regé-Jean Page. The latter two were discovered following a global search that spanned 15 locations, including Zimbabwe, Nigeria and South Africa, where the project began shooting in late September following a stint in New Orleans.
The original 1977 miniseries based on the late Alex Haley’s 1976 novel, Roots: The Saga of an American Family was a television success and raked up nine Emmy Awards.

Cam Newton for MVP? The madness has to stop...
People are gettin WAY too caught up in the Panthers record and calling Cam Newton the MVP. This dude shouldn't even be getting serious consideration in my opinion. His numbers aren't that great, and his team is pretty damn good without him. MVP is usually chosen from 2 categories, and he's not leading in either.
1) Individual stats and level of play
2) How essential you are to team success.
AP or Brady I get. Cam Newton? Hell no
