Earthquakes keep rattling Greece's volcanic island of Santorini every few minutes

ATHENS, Greece (AP) -- Earthquakes are still rattling Greece's volcanic island of Santorini every few minutes as authorities bolster their emergency plans in case the hundreds of temblors over the past few days are a harbinger of a larger quake to come. A coast guard vessel and a military landing craft are in wider the area in case an evacuation is needed, Civil Protection Minister Vassilis Kikilias said during an emergency meeting with security officials, scientists and the prime minister in Athens Wednesday. Rescue crews with a sniffer dog and drones have been deployed since Sunday, while authorities have banned access to several coastal areas and ordered schools to shut for the week. Thousands of people have already left Santorini, frightened by hundreds of earthquakes measuring between magnitudes 3 and 5.

Making climate-friendly lifestyle choices isn't always easy. India learned the hard way

BENGALURU, India (AP) -- A major government initiative to get people to think about their energy choices to pollute less -- like cycling instead of driving or using less plastic -- has received virtually no funding or publicity in the last year. In the country's yearly budget recently released, the once-flagship program failed to get a mention. Known as Mission Life, environmentalists say that its fading away from the limelight shows how difficult it can be to make changes in people's everyday lives to help the climate and improve efficiency, especially when there's no funding or policy support.

Tiger Woods says his mother, Kultida, has died. Woods did not give details on the Tuesday morning death of his 80-year-old mother. He describes her as a force of nature who was quick with the needle.

Mmm, that looks yummy! The colors we see make a difference in the food we eat

NEW YORK (AP) -- When it comes to what we eat, it's not just a matter of taste. What food and drink look like, the colors we see, have mattered to people for millennia. And nowhere has that been more clear than the American food palate, where the visual spectrum includes not only the primary colors but artificial ones that nature couldn't even dream up. Over the decades, there's been pushback and government regulation over just HOW food and drink have been colored, most recently with the decision last week from the federal Food and Drug Administration to ban red dye No. 3 from foods and oral-ingested drugs because of concerns over a possible cancer risk.
