Feds Approve Arizona Weatherization Assistance Program
Governor Jan Brewer has announced that Arizona’s plan for Weatherization Assistance has been approved by the US Energy Department. That means that 40% of Arizona’s $57 million program is on its way to the State Energy Office.
The program helps low income families and individuals decrease their monthly utility bills by identifying energy efficiency improvements and then making necessary repairs. The income requirement for households is 200% of the federal poverty guidelines.

FDA Warns Against Using Clarcon Skin Products
The Food and Drug Administration is warning consumers not to use skin products made by Clarcon. High levels of disease-causing bacteria were found during a recent inspection.
Clarcon has issued a voluntary recall of some skin sanitizers and skin protectants marketed under several different brand names. These include Citrushield Lotion, Dermassentials, Skin Shield and Total Skin Care.
The FDA says it is especially concerned because the products are promoted as antimicrobial agents that claim to treat open wounds and damaged skin and protect against infectious diseases. But some of the bacteria found during the inspection can cause skin infections and possibly permanent skin damage.
The agency says consumers should not use any Clarcon products and should throw them away.

Auto Insurers Starting to Cover Pets
Some automobile insurance companies are beginning to offer free coverage for pets injured or killed in a car accident. A Farmers Insurance agent in Phoenix told KTAR that customers with full coverage can get up to $600 for veterinary bills or other death costs. The agent says he expects this to become a common industry practice within a couple of years.
So far, no one has filed a claim under the new service, but a lot of people have asked about it.
Readers Choose News that Fits Their Views
A new study by Ohio State University suggests that most people who read media messages tend to choose news that fits their pre-existing views.
LiveScience.com reports that the study tracked how college students spend their time reading articles on controversial issues. Participants spent 36% more time reading articles that agreed with their point of view. Even when the students did read articles that countered their views, they almost always balanced that with reading other articles that confirmed their opinions
However, the study also shows that people with individual confidence and certainty, such as people with strong party affiliation or greater interest in politics, are more likely to read articles with opposing views.
A separate study by a Brigham Young University researcher shows that only 5% of online news readers go to political blogs on a daily basis. But they are the most politically active news consumers.
