ekathimerini.com | Energy bands prompt fines and warning

Energy bands prompt fines and warning


Greek pharmacists have been asked to clear all advertising material for energy bracelets from their stores after the General Secretariat for Consumers fined five companies that sell the bands 350,000 euros after they failed to come up with any scientific documentation proving that the bracelets could improve people?s balance and power.

It is not known how many Greeks bought the bracelets, which sold for as much as 20 euros each, and were recently fashionable. The bracelet manufacturers claimed that so-called holographic technology helped the wearer harness the powers of his or her natural energy field. Companies supplying these bracelets in other countries faced law suits and were forced to retract these claims as early as 2010.

The president of consumer watchdog KEPKA, Nikos Tsemberlidis, said Greek consumers had to show greater awareness so as not to be taken in by such scams, which have included machines to infuse water with ozone, devices to limit electricity use and washing machine balls that negate the need for detergent to be used. ?Unfortunately, Greek consumers are not mature enough yet,? he said.

Conservative Bachmann wins tight House race

MINNEAPOLIS (Reuters) - Representative Michele Bachmann of Minnesota, known for controversial comments and a bid for the Republican presidential nomination, was projected to win re-election over Democratic challenger businessman Jim Graves early on Wednesday.

Bachmann led Graves by 3,256 votes - or just under 1 percentage point - out of more than 351,000 votes cast in the Minnesota 6th Congressional District with 98.2 percent of precincts reporting, according to unofficial state elections returns.

Minnesota law only requires a recount if the margin of victory is less than half a percentage point. CNN projected Bachmann the winner.

A champion of the Tea Party movement for smaller government and conservative on social issues such as abortion and gay rights, Bachmann was running in what has been regarded as the most conservative-leaning district in Minnesota.

Her bid for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination raised her name recognition nationally, but left her vulnerable in her race for a fourth term to accusations by Graves that she was not representing district interests.

Some of her remarks, including an insistence on a link between an aide to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the Muslim Brotherhood, were denounced by some in her own party.

Bachmann, a former Minnesota state senator, has never won more than 53 percent of the vote in the district and won by only 3 percentage points in the last presidential election year of 2008.

The redrawing of districts after the 2010 census put Bachmann, who lives in Stillwater near the Minnesota border with Wisconsin, outside of the sprawling district that takes in suburbs to the east, north and west of Minneapolis and St. Paul and stretches northwest to include farms and smaller cities.

It was the nation's most expensive House race in terms of both money raised and spent by the candidates as of mid October, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. The candidates had raised a total of $22.7 million and spent $20.8, the center reported, but Bachmann had outspent Graves by more than twelve-to-one.

Bachmann sought to tag Graves, founder of the AmericInn hotel chain and now the head of Graves Hospitality, as a supporter of President Barack Obama's health reform law in television ads early in the campaign.

Later Bachmann commercials portrayed the congresswoman as focused on the needs of district residents and able to work across party lines to reach goals.

Graves, who describes himself as fiscally conservative, has said there are positives in the Obama healthcare program, but the "heavy lifting" has not yet begun. Graves also has said he believes Bachmann has been ineffective as a congresswoman.

Matrix One gets delayed at customs, manufacturer suspends new orders of $90 tablet

Matrix One gets delayed at customs, manufacturer suspends new orders of $90 tablet

In early August, we reported that the Matrix One $90 tablet was finally available for sale, but it now seems that the celebration was a bit pre-mature. Anyone who might've ordered the bargain bin slate must now wait for the company to move through a mess of red tape, as Matrix One has revealed that all of its shipments have been delayed at customs. While the company hasn't given any specific reason for the holdup, it's since suspended the ordering process as it waits for the current shipments to clear. For its part, Matrix One states that it's diligently working toward a resolution and promises to provide further updates as they become available. If you're concerned about your order, feel free to hit up the company directly. You'll find everything you need in Matrix One's full statement after the break.

[Thanks, Michael]
