DENVER (Reuters) - A U.S. federal court jury on Wednesday awarded a Colorado man $7.2 million in damages for developing a chronic condition known as popcorn lung from a chemical used in flavoring microwave popcorn.
Jurors agreed with the claims by Wayne Watson, 59, that the popcorn manufacturer and the supermarket chain that sold it were negligent by failing to warn on labels that the butter flavoring, diacetyl, was dangerous.

The cover of Pathways magazine that Jamie Lynne Grument posed for. (Pathways to Family Wellness) The mom who appeared this past May on the cover of Time breastfeeding her 3-and-a-half year old son is now claiming she was manipulated, and that the magazine's portrayal of attachment parenting was misleading. She's fighting back by posing for another magazine cover.
In the Time photo, Grumet stands and gazes at the camera as her son, who is also standing, sucks on her breast. Jamie Lynne Grumet claims the image used was an outtake from the shoot, and appeared unnecessarily detached and confrontational when placed next to the cover line "Are you mom enough?"

There's a reason why one of the first things fugitives do when they're on the run is dye their hair: Hair color is an identity-when you change it, you can become a different person. Fugitives tend to go dark because they want to hide and disappear, while most celebrities tend to go lighter and lighter because they crave the constant spotlight.
Librarian claims ‘Starbucks diet’ led to 80-pound weight loss
A screen grab of Christine Hall talking to ABC news about her diet.Starbucks executives are likely popping champagne and rubbing their hands together with glee, all thanks to a 66-year-old librarian named Christine Hall. The Virginia woman claims she lost 80 pounds in two years by eating almost exclusively at Starbucks, and is generating the kind of positive publicity for the coffee giant that money simply cannot buy.
Hall realized her weight was out of control when she applied to be a kidney donor and was rejected because, at 5-foot-4 and 190 pounds, she was obese, reports NBC.

Christian Bale becomes real-life superhero for boy with cancer

Christian Bale may have a reputation for his serious demeanor and short temper (as a certain on-set lighting technician knows oh-too-well), but the 38-year-old actor is also proving to be a kind and caring guy. In July, he visited victims wounded in the Colorado movie theater shooting (which took place during a showing of "The Dark Knight Rises," in which Bale stars), and just last week, he arranged to fly a 4-year-old Youngstown, Ohio boy suffering from leukemia to Disneyland. While the boy, named Jayden Barber, was probably thrilled enough to be able to make the trip to the happiest place on Earth, the diehard Batman fan got an extra surprise when Bale himself joined Jayden and his family for lunch.

Wedding Rings by Petr KratochvilI love my wife.
I know that I love my wife, and she knows that I love her. We've never had any issues that have pushed us to the brink of divorce, but when I think about our relationship, I realize that there is always room for growth.
As I sat down to write this, I began to think about ways that I mess up in my marriage. They don't include infidelity or making decisions that breach her trust.

Luo Meizhen of China may be oldest person ever at 127
The Chinese woman just celebrated her birthday, but she isn't on the official list
I wonder what a birthday cake would look like with 127 candles on it? I won't have to worry about extinguishing all those candles any time soon, but one woman may have.
Luo Meizhen, who lives in China's Guangxi province, reportedly celebrated her 127th birthday just days ago and if it's verified she'll be the oldest person who ever lived. However, that may be impossible because while she says she was born in 1885, birth certificates in the region only started to be kept after the 1949 Communist takeover. All she has is a faded copy of her identity card as shown in this video from 2011.

How photogenic, how stylish, how fully alive and still real she seemed in the firestorm of publicity that surrounded her.
