A "Tree" That Recharges Gadgets With the Sun’s Energy
Solar energy is becoming more mainstream than ever, with the production of solar panels in all forms, including soccer balls and heart-shaped roof toppers . The most recent introduction into the growing variety of sun-collecting gadgets is Greendix ’s solar-powered “fruit tree” that acts as a portable charging station. Its leaf-shaped solar panels charge up “energy apples,” which glow from green to red to show when they are “ripe” – or charged – and ready to use.

Consumer Advisory on Miracle-Gro Mouse Mischief
Countless consumers, knowing little to nothing about how to deal humanely with mice, buy the Ortho Home Defense MAX Kill & Contain Mouse Trap because it promises a quick, out-of-sight death, with “no mess.” But not so fast! PETA is hearing that numerous people have been horrified to discover squeaking mice inside the traps, alive and conscious but bloody and writhing from their injuries. After Scotts Miracle-Gro Company refused to respond to our letter detailing our concerns with these cruel devices, PETA filed a formal complaint with the Federal Trade Commission seeking action against the company for its misleading claims—and we’ve asked Scotts Miracle-Gro chair and CEO James Hagedorn to pull the traps from store shelves, as we believe that the company is violating the Federal Trade Commission Act, which prohibits unfair or deceptive acts or practices.

Bag Lady Loves: Fendi Stud bag
This is a lovely twist on the more traditional (and expensive) Baguette style, and it’ s stolen our hearts this Friday morning. Its trademark foldover frontage is decorated with star-shaped studs, and we really like the subtlety of the Fendi logo that’s stitched all over the fabric.

Brother, can you spare a symposium?
Mormon Studies could be headed for a rough patch, because the career paths that make professional study of Mormon topics at least occasionally possible are disappearing. While the field has had some exciting developments, its recent progress has largely consisted of increasing institutionalization: new programs, newly endowed chairs, new academic conferences, and new graduate students with an interest in Mormon topics. But all of these are exposed to the fallout from economic downturn on university budgets and donor portfolios, and they are particularly threatened by the collapse of academic hiring in relevant fields

These Leopard Bags Are The Purrfect Complement To Your Fall Wardrobe!

For fashionistas who have no qualms with walking on the wild side, making a bold move with animal print is no gutsy feat, but for more demure shoppers, it can be hard to take the plunge in making a leopard-themed piece the center of your wardrobe
