VIDEO: No. 24 Tatnall upsets Wilmington Christian
No. 24 Tatnall upset No. 9 Wilmington Christian 50-33 to advance to the second round of the DIAA Boys' Basketball Championship.
Tatnall's defense got off to a good start as they held the Warriors to only seven points in the first quarter to get a 14-7 lead.
The Warriors got into a rhythm in the second after Nathan Hickman picked up a steal and fastbreak lay-up to swing momentum. Wilmington Christian went into intermission only down 23-19.
Tatnall began to pull away in the third quarter starting with a three pointer from Ian Cella-Hoffman. The Hornets defense once again held Warriors to three points in the third quarter and led 34-22 going into the fourth quarter. Wilmington Christian was never able to get the deficit under 10 the rest of the way.
Joe Cooper led Tatnall with 15 points, while Nathan Hickman led the Warriors with 19 points. Tatnall will be at eighth seed Wilmington Friends on Saturday at 5pm.

To ensure that everyone can their property as a wildlife haven, the Koester family worked with The Trust for Public Land and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources to transform 460 acres of their land into the Prairie Creek Wildlife Management Area.
In 2013 The Trust for Public Land protected Gaul Island as an addition to the Burntside Islands Scientific and Natural Area. Like Long Island, which we helped protect in 2008, the island is part of the viewshed from Sigurd Olson's historic Listening Point.
The Trust for Public Land is working with the state Department of Natural Resources to protect 128 acres of Blakeley Bluffs as an addition to the Ney Wildlife Management Area.
The Trust for Public Land is working to protect 43 acres wedged between Kremer Lake and the Edge of the Wilderness Scenic Byway in the heart of northern Minnesota's Chippewa National Forest.
For several years, The Trust for Public Land and several partner organizations helped protect this property, linking it to nearby conservation lands, and creating a nine mile stretch of protected land along the river.
TPL worked with the state and local partners to secure funding that ensures the permanent protection of Lester Lake in Minnesota's North Woods.
Thirty minutes southwest of the Twin Cities, Savage Fen Scientific and Natural Area (SNA) is an ecological treasury that became almost 70 acres richer in late 2010.
A 60-acre gem located in Lake Vermilion's Wolf Bay, Wolf Island is a place of legend and lore, with historical ties to both Native Americans and Voyageurs.
TPL's Mississippi and St. Croix Rivers program works to protect or reclaim lands along the main stem of the rivers to provide important recreational resources, safeguard drinking water, and support critical habitat.

|I recently purchased a heavy, cast iron *something* and I am trying to figure out what to make in it. I thought, in my delight at seeing it, that it was a pizzelle maker, but now it seems it is for waffles, but really thin waffles. Hopefully someone can help me out here.
It is stamped on the outside "Jotul No. 6 Product of Norway" on the center of each side. The only information I can find online is Jotul's stoves or sales of vintage items like this. I can't tell from the sales listings what it is for sure, since some call it a waffle maker, some a pizzelle maker, some a krumkake pan, others a crepe press. What I do know for sure is, it weighs more than most of my iron skillets!!! Thank goodness it also has a stand that allows you to simply pivot it in the holder to flip while cooking.
I seasoned it, and this morning tried it out using Lou's pizzelle recipe. I guess it is not a pizzelle maker, because these were not crisp and thin as I think a pizzelle should be. But really, it is very thin for a waffle.
What do I have, and what is the best kind of recipe to use in it?
To help a little, here is a picture of the inside of the device. It's about 7-3/4" across the baking surface and the impressions are about 1/8" deep, so the final product is about 1/4" thick, kinda thin for a waffle, and too thick for a crispy, pizelle-type cookie, I think.
Anybody have one of these or know what I have for sure?
Follow-Up Postings:
|May be you have a Krumkake maker
|Here is one on ebay. (krumkake maker) Is this what you have?
Here is a link that might be useful: Jotul krumkake iron
|Here's a better pic with the stand
Here is a link that might be useful: Jotul krumkake iron
|Thanks, dcarch and olychick. The outside of mine looks like the iron in the first link (scroll down) however the inside is quite different. (Hey! I posted a picture before, but I can't see it! I will try again.)
The ones in the links would make a nice, thin cookie with a design sort of inscribed into it, what I think of as a pizzelle. The one I have has a deeper pockets, like a waffle. I suspect it is a waffle iron, but such thin waffles. I don't think it would work for krumkake cones, unless there is a specific batter that makes it crisp up when it cools. That is why I'm asking. I'm hoping there is someone here who knows what it is and what recipe I should be using.
|Trying again to post a pic of the inside of the iron that I suspect is a waffle maker, but perhaps is a krumkake iron or pizzelle iron.
Here is a link that might be useful: Jotul No 6 Iron
|You have a Norwegan waffle maker. Very traditional "vafell" (I can't spell it but I can say it!) maker.....they are little sort of cookie like waffles often served folded over and filled with whipped cream and jam or fruit.
|Posted by empress"Trying again to post a pic of the inside of the iron that I suspect is a waffle maker, but perhaps is a krumkake iron or pizzelle iron.

If you look into my thread "Rice Paper", the first two photos, you will see I used the same maker to make the pancakes.
|Here's one recipe I found.....I have never made them..but when I have eaten them they they were seasoned with cardamon. This recipe calls for a teaspoon of ground cardamon.....think that may be a bit much!!
Here in the middle of the country, there are a lot of 3rd generation Scandanavians, and some how they get their pastries mixed up. My Danish neighbor would come over at Christmas with something that looked for all the world like the krumkaka that my Swedish mother in law made. My friend, Gerda made the waffles as well as other wonderful little treats. And then there's my Dutch friends with names like Schakel and Knoot! All make wonderful goodies!
Here is a link that might be useful: Norwegean waffles
|Thank you all so much!
I saw the picture, dcarch, on the rice paper thread, and wondered when I noticed the heart shapes.
Lindac, thanks for the info and the recipe. I like the idea of folding them over a filling--they seem just right for that. They just seem too thin to eat like regular waffles, but I think I would really enjoy them as you suggested. (I have a sensitivity to wheat, so will have to wait another week or so before trying the recipe. I can tolerate small doses not too close together. The "blueberry puzzle" question by compumom describes my wheat situation very well.)
Have a good rest of the weekend everyone. Prayers and hugs to all those affected by the shooting in Aurora, CO.

Powered by the enterprise-class Tehuti Luxor TN3020-D processor, the C10GT delivers efficient high-bandwidth access to server and storage applications, while requiring relatively low power for operation, states the official announcement.
In order to achieve its high data transfer rates, the adapter will need a PCI Express x4 interface. The NIC is compliant with IEEE 802.3ae, IEEE 802.3ak, and IEEE 802.1q VLAN standards.
"Next-generation 10Gb Ethernet is going to be the new standard for enterprises of the future," said Florence Shih, Thecus Technology General Manager.
"With our new C10GT, businesses can fully leverage the speed and convenience of this advanced technology today," Shih added.

More Businesses Turn to 'Flexible' Office Space
But there will always be a need for traditional office space, Armstrong says, and he's skeptical that flexible work space is cutting demand significantly.
Virtual office space "is growing to a degree, but I don't think it impacts the traditional office market too much," Armstrong says. "We've got industries growing all the time, and as businesses grow they need more space."
"There are just certain aspects of productivity that are better served in a workplace environment," he says. "It's also quite a transition to embrace
For businesses wavering between the two models, one way to decide is to consider cost, credit and human capital needs, says Jeff Stibel, CEO of Dun & Bradstreet Credibility."Businesses are struggling right now and they're trying to make decisions both on how to save money and how to grow their business," Stibel says. "Obviously, you can save money by moving to a virtual office, but are there drawbacks to it," Stibel says. "If your business starts to expand somewhat quickly, you can be limited in terms of that virtual space." "Traditional office space is starting to get very affordable because there is an abundance of space out there, particularly in second-tier markets where a lot of these small businesses get started," Stibel says, naming Greensboro, N.C. and Short Hills, N.J., as examples. When dealing with a traditional lease, Stibel says business owners should consider:
- How long is the lease?
- Is there adjacent space so the business can expand?
- What is included in the lease?

My Life In England As A Surgeon From Feb 1968 To Nov 1970
February 1968 . Now I am Mister Murthy , MBBS Andhra U 1958 . , MS Andhra U 1962 . , FRCS Edinburgh . I have Full Registration of Indian Medical Council as well as of Great Britain Medical Council as A Qualified Surgeon . I was lucky to get a job as a Surgeon In National Health Service England . It gives me immense pleasure to write about NHS England : " Since its launch in 1948, the NHS has grown to become the world's largest publicly funded health service. It is also one of the most efficient, most egalitarian and most comprehensive. The NHS was born out of a long-held ideal that good healthcare should be available to all, regardless of wealth, a principle that remains at its core. With the exception of some charges, such as prescriptions and optical and dental services, the NHS remains free at the point of use for anyone who is resident in England ." I am now a part of that second to none NHS England from February 1968 to November 1970 , a period of 34 months two months shy of three years and during that period I was A Senior House Officer , A Registrar and worked in the Departments of Accident Surgery , Emergency Surgery , General Surgery , Paediatric Surgery , Genito-Urinary Surgery , and Anaesthesiology . So I moved out of Indian YMCA , by tube from Warren Street to Charing Cross , by train from Charing Cross to Blackheath ,by bus from Blackheath to Woolwich War Memorial Hospital and took up lodgings in "Shooter's Hill a district in South East London within the Royal Borough of Greenwich. It borders the London Borough of Bexley. It lies north of Eltham and south of Woolwich. " My work station is Woolwich War Memorial Hospital and took first steps in my Surgical Journey In England of which I will describe after I settle down in Shooters Hill - do not go away and be with me all the way from Shooters Hill starting February 1968 and I will take you with me to all my Surgery Work Stations In England ending November 1970 - au revoir , so long , I will see you soon . !!!!
You are strong
I lov your strength and I am here to read and travel with you back into the journey you love so much.
I am happy to be here and to follow your journey in this trip to the past.
Thanks for working for humanity.

Ikwerre people
|Regions with significant populations
The Ikwerre (also spelt Ikwere) are one of the many ethnic groups in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. They are generally considered a subgroup of the Igbo people of southeastern Nigeria,[1][2][3] although a small minority for political expediency now dispute this account, claiming their history was rewritten during the colonial period because of the dominance of the larger Igbo group. The Ikwerre are said to be related or share common ancestry with the Ogba and Ekpeye people (Akalaka brothers).[citation needed] They trace their origins to Benin and elsewhere. They constitute the majority of Rivers state, Nigeria, although there are other populations in neighboring states(Citation_needed). The Ikwerre speak the Ikwerre dialect, a dialect part of the many diverse Igbo dialects.[4] They are traditionally farmers, fishermen and hunters, but in recent times, the environmental degradation and urban sprawl associated with oil exploration and exploitation has caused a sharp decline in the amount of farmland, forests and rivers available for their traditional occupations.[citation needed]
The Ikwerre exist in well-delineated clans, with each clan having its own Paramount Ruler, therefore, the Ikwerre do not have an overall paramount ruler or King, a but designated kings/ruler/leader mostly approved by its constituents. Although all paramount rulers in ikwerre are united in what is known as Ogbakor Ikwerre which is an association of Ikwerre traditional rulers.[citation needed] A total of 92 oil wells, producing an estimated 100,000 barrels of crude daily, are located in Ikwerreland. The Ikwerre therefore play host to several multinational oil-producing and servicing companies, in addition to many other industries and establishments.[citation needed] Despite these, the Ikwerre, like nearly all other minorities of the Niger Delta, frequently complain of marginalisation by the oil operatives. The University of Port Harcourt, the Rivers State University of Science and Technology, the three campuses of the Rivers State College of Education, as well as the Rivers State College of Arts and Science, are all sited in Ikwerre communities.[citation needed]
The Ikwerre are considered by a great majority of scholars as a subgroup of the Igbo people of southeastern Nigeria,[1][2][3]
There are several theories over the origin, and the strongest and most widely accepted one is the theory linking the Ikwerre to an Igbo origin.[5] They would be descendents from an Igbo migration from Awka and Orlu areas towards South. Igbo scholars take Ikwerre as part of the Southern Igbo. Amadi, an Ikwerre scholar, says that the Igbo origin theory has some support even inside Ikwerre themselves, with Ikwerre would be descendants of a migration of Arochukwu Igbo, with Okpo Nwagidi being the leader of the Ikwerre tribe. Before the civil war, there had been dissident voices that claimed that Ikwerre could have come from lands outside of Igbo lands such as the Benin Kingdom.[5] Just as an example, when Port Harcourt was conquered by Nigeria during the Biafran War and the Igbo people from other parts of Igboland fled the territory, a UN report says that the Ikwerre decided to claim that the Ikwerre were non-Igbo for convenience.[6] The Ikwerre are recognized officially as a separate group in the 1979 Nigerian Constitution.[5]
Notable people[edit]
Some notable people of Ikwerre origin:
- Elechi Amadi, writer[citation needed]
- Emmanuel Onunwor, former Mayor of East Cleveland, Ohio, USA[citation needed]
- Chibuike Amaechi, current Governor of Rivers State
- Obi Wali, Writer, Politician and Minority rights activist[citation needed]
- Tonto Dikeh, Actress, Musician Rivers State
- Celestine Omehia,former Governor of Rivers State
- Monalisa Chinda, Actress Rivers State
- Duncan Mighty, Musician
- Bekwele Nyeche, IT Technologist
- Ezenwo Nyesom Wike, Politician

The Office Review: Having a Nard Timeby Dan Forcella at . Comments
Although I've always assumed that The Office was going to suffer greatly without Steve Carrell, this week's episode was the first time I've had an actual feel for what it might be like without him - and it hurts.
Much like when they attempted to make Jim the lead character here and there, back when he was branch manager, "The Seminar" used Andy Bernard to move the plot along. But the sad truth is that neither Ed Helms nor John Krasinski can match Carrell.
Visit our section of The Office quotes for the latest from this episode!
I really liked "The Seminar," but it was more because of the performances around Helms than because of what the Nard Dog was doing himself. Many of the minor players got up off the bench to give us some laughs this week, starting with a guest appearance by the creator and star of the original The Office, Ricky Gervais.In the moment that the embrace between Michael and David Brent ended and the opening theme began, I really wished that I had seen the British version. Because as hilarious as the interaction between these two paper-selling buffoons was, I can only imagine what it would have meant to someone who was a fan of both shows.
When Brent tossed out "that's what she said" and Michael immediately went in for the hug, I completely lost it.
Speaking of people that are similar to Michael and hence bring out the best in him, Amy Ryan continues to impress with her ability to play Holly both as serious and ridiculous. You can really tell that she's having a tough time getting over her break up with AJ, but who could say no to doing a Greek couple schtick with Michael Scott?
Not Holly, which is why Michael must exit the show by her side.
There were plenty of other gems from the supporting cast this week. Between Ryan not being able to commit, Kevin's warm-up music, laps, and eventual vomit, Creed's motivational speech about the Lochness Monster, and Jim's childhood friend calling him out for being too smart, there really was something for everybody.
The only part that didn't work for me - well, other than Andy doing nothing as the lead - was the Scrabble plot. There were no laughs out of it. Erin works best when paired with Michael as her father figure or Andy as a romantic partner. Teaming her up with Oscar and Pam didn't work.
Knowing that it is almost time to say goodbye to Michael Scott, and getting word that Will Ferrell is dropping by for a four episode arc, I am extremely excited to see how the rest of the year will play out. How about you?

As an old fan of the David Brent 'office' and a new fan (I recently spent two months watching each episode of the Michael Scott 'office' having never seen it before was hooked from the start), I have to say I had a lump in my throat and a tear in my eye. As I remember when the final UK office special episode I was sad to see them go and seeing Brent and Scott hug just hit me with the enormous hole that will be left with Carrell departing its like saying goodbye all over again. I love each and every one of them just like I did with the UK office but in my opinion I think the show should end with them all and not go on without Steve Carrell finish with an expended episode and say goodbye to them all together......they are a family without Michael it will never be the same.
The scramble scenes, were one of the most humorous scenes from that episode. And Andy made a move on it at the end, which opened up the story for the next episode. Plus it brought out Oscars real personality and showed another example of how dumb Erin actually is.

Could anyone actually using any interactive mfl resources within a learning platform tell me what the resource looks like once it's been submitted by the kiddies?
Basically I've been asked about the resources for mfl; the department is quite sceptical about using the learning platform but they like the self-marking idea. What the teacher really wants though is to see their answers rather than a score sheet. obviously he wants to see where they've gone wrong and perhaps revisit these areas if patterns appear.
I've done 2 tests so far. First one I created a sample quiz with Fuse creator, uploaded the zipped package to the learning platform, assigned it to a test student and submitted it as a student. When I looked at it as a teacher, all I could see was the score(4/10) not their actual answers.
Next I took some already created content the department was using(flash based) and zipped it using the Reload package. Uploaded it, tested it and this time I got no score back at all.
I guess the question is, what do you see on your system, is it down to our learning platform or am I missing something?

Renaissance Man: Making George Clooney My Mona Lisa
Conde Nast Traveler stuntman Mark Schatzker is on a mad quest to make himself into a modern-day Da Vinci during a month's stay in Europe. So far Mark has "mastered" golf in Scotland, "excelled" at gardening in England, "ruled" the kitchens of Paris, and tinkled the ivories in Vienna. His next task: Paint.
There comes a time in the life of every Renaissance Man when he faces great challenge. Famously, Leonardo Da Vinci sat down one day and contemplated how it might be possible for a powder skiing enthusiast to ski twenty five thousand feet of vertical in a single day. Da Vinci spent most of the morning peering into the existential chasm, but by lunch he'd invented the solution: the helicopter.
I face a similar task. I have traveled to yet another achingly beautiful corner of Italy to learn yet a new skill. It just so happens to be a skill I possess not a single iota of. They call it painting. My teacher is Giuliana Gandola. She began painting the same way Leonardo did: In Bottega. That's Italian for "in studio," and basically it means you learn how to paint by showing up at the studio of a noted master and paying careful attention. Giuliana's master was her aunt. My master is Giuliana. Giuliana's aunt never had it so bad.
The woman has her work cut out for her. Make no mistake: I have a rich imagination. I can think of thousands of paintings I'd like to paint. The problem is in the motor skills department. My hand is so unsteady that if a cashier bothers to compare my signature with the one on the back of my credit card, the transaction is usually refused. Oh, and there's this one other little minor issue. I'm colorblind.
I have decided to make up for this very slight lack of artistic aptitude by choosing a good subject. After all, would we even be talking about Leonardo if it weren't for that woman with the thin lips and the curious smile? Since I find myself in Bellagio, I have decided to follow an idea central to the Renaissance: Paint someone important. Around these parts, there's no one more important than George Clooney, who has a villa on the other side of the lake. I'm going to paint said villa. Or at least, I'm going to try.
In the meantime, please enjoy these landscape paintings I did today. I'm experimenting with realism. I feel like it's going well.
Giuliana helped with the colors on this one.
Not realistic enough. But an OK start.
From my "Blue Period" which lasted from 1 to 2 p.m.
I think it has shades of Neo-classicism. Giuliana thinks it's garbage.

The Office Review: The Pros and Con of Sexby Dan Forcella at . Comments
Michael Scott can always make me laugh. The overall concept of an episode of The Office, along the rest of the cast? They can be hit or miss. This week's episode, "Sex Ed," was a miss.
Michael contracted Herpes, which branched the episode into story A and story B, neither of which had me jumping for joy. In story A, Michael and Dwight went roaming around Scranton to tell his old flames they might have the STD. Not one of the face-to-face encounters was funny. Michael had a couple good one-liners in there, but the meetings themselves left a lot to be desired.
Michael's phone conversation with Holly, on the other hand, was classic. It was exactly why I loved when Amy Ryan was on the show, and it's exactly why I want her to come back before Steve Carrell leaves at the end of this season.
Holly's ability to go joke-to-joke with Michael's insanity makes me laugh every time. There was no change to that here, as she kept going with the joke about the car accident and the nuns, until it, like the nuns, finally died.Story B was even less interesting this week. Andy Bernard, probably again because of his love for Erin, decided to lecture the rest of Dunder Mifflin on sex and sexually transmitted diseases. Nothing about this idea was funny, and very little about the execution worked. Andy seems to work much better when he's the smaller part of the story, not leading it. Even last week, when he was the star of the play, he was feeding off Michael in the crowd. Here he was moving the thing along, and it really didn't work.
But the Michael aspect of the episode might have been the first in many the many steps of saying goodbye to Carrell.
We got to remember all of the good times we witnessed with Michael and his women. Oh, and also the bad times. What will be next for Michael, before we really start to figure out how he will be leaving Dunder Mifflin Scranton?
Ponder that question and then review the best Office quotes from the half hour below:
Carol: Did you have a doctor check it out?
Michael: I'm between specialists right now. | permalink
Andy: Can anyone else name a consequence of sex?
Kevin: It feels unbelievable. | permalink
Holly: Michael, you cried at that tag line for a movie you made up.
Michael: He had no arms or legs. He couldn't see, hear or speak. This is how he led a nation. | permalink
Donna: Michael, I didn't think I'd hear from you. How have you been?
Michael: I have a disease, of which there is no known cure. It has been sexually transmitted to me. I can't even say it. H-I-R-P-E-E-S. | permalink
Dwight: I left him all the tools he needs. This is do or die. If he chooses correctly, he will conquer the hornets.
Andy: And if he doesn't?
Dwight: He'll die.
Everyone: What? Beg your pardon?
Dwight: When did the phrase "Do or die" become so corrupted? | permalink

As a sufferer of herpes, I thought it was a great episode. It's the first time I've EVER seen the media portray herpes in a compassionate and realistic light, rather than making it sound like it's only something lepers get. They managed to do this while injecting several laugh-out-loud moments into the show. I contracted HSV-2 USING A CONDOM with my second partner at the age of 22. I'm now 26 and haven't had an outbreak since I was 23. Most people with the disease don't know they have it, as only 10% get visible symptoms. A lot of times visual symptoms of HSV are so innocuous that they can be mistaken for a razor bump or a pimple. Also, doctors don't include HSV (herpes simplex virus) in the "full" panel of std tests during your annual, unless you specifically ask for it. Most of society looks down on people with herpes and it's so amazingly common. It's time the judgment stops. Kudos, Office, on both an educational and entertaining show that brought a silent epidemic into the spotlight. I'm so glad they did the show in a kind way, rather than ostracize herpes sufferers like myself from society even more.

Get weekly health information and advice from the experts at Harvard Medical School.
HEALTHbeat subscriber,
Here at Harvard Health Publications, we seem to get more mail about calcium than any other single nutrient. The questions and comments vary, but many reflect the same exasperation. On the one hand, we've been told to take calcium pills to keep bones strong, prevent osteoporosis, and reduce the risk of fracture. On the other, information seems to keep popping up that calls into question the value of calcium — and even suggests that large amounts might be counterproductive. So in the hopes of clarifying this tricky issue, here are some of the questions we get most often — and our answers.
Wishing you good health,
Nancy Ferrari
Managing Editor
Harvard Health Publications
How much calcium should I be getting?
The official recommendation is 1,000 milligrams (mg) a day for adults ages 19 to 50 and 1,200 mg for those past the half-century mark. Those amounts include calcium from all sources: dairy products, other food and drinks, and calcium supplements. But there's a dissenting point of view that 600 mg to 1,000 mg a day is sufficient, perhaps even more healthful.
How much calcium am I getting if I don't take a supplement?
A reasonably good diet that includes some fruit and vegetables provides about 200 mg to 300 mg daily — and that's without any dairy products. A well-rounded diet with some servings of milk and dairy products puts you well into the neighborhood of 600 mg to 800 mg a day.
Is it better to get calcium from supplements or from food?
Studies have repeatedly found that we're far better off getting most of our nutrients from food rather than from pills. With calcium, it's more complicated. In many ways, dairy products, and milk in particular, are an ideal source of the mineral. The calcium content is high and easily absorbed. But when dairy comes into the diet, saturated fat comes with it, and high saturated fat intake increases cardiovascular risk. Furthermore, a few studies suggest that dairy food itself increases the risk of certain cancers.
You can easily get around the saturated fat problem by buying nonfat dairy products. Some vegetables are a good source of calcium, but spinach, chard, and a few others also contain oxalate, and the presence of oxalate interferes with the absorption of calcium.
Bottom line: food is the preferred way to get a nutrient, calcium included. The best food choices for calcium include nonfat dairy products (in limited amounts), as well as certain types of fish (canned salmon and sardines) and vegetables (collard greens are a winner).
If I need a supplement, which one should I take?
Most calcium supplements are made with either calcium carbonate or calcium citrate. Calcium carbonate needs stomach acid to be absorbed, so if it is the source of calcium in your supplement (check the label) it's best to take it just after a meal. Calcium citrate isn't as dependent on stomach acid, so it can be taken any time. People taking medications that reduce stomach acid — such as the proton-pump inhibitors (Prevacid, Prilosec) or the H2 blockers (Tagamet, Zantac) — should take a calcium citrate supplement because lower amounts of stomach acid mean they won't absorb calcium carbonate properly.
The big advantage of calcium carbonate over calcium citrate is that it contains twice as much calcium. The labels on the bottles sometimes make it seem like both kinds of tablets provide the same amount of calcium, usually 500 mg to 600 mg. But that's the amount of calcium per "serving" and if you read the label you'll see that the serving size for the calcium citrate supplements is usually two tablets, but for the calcium carbonate supplements, it's just one.
It's a waste to double the serving size. The body can absorb a 500- or 600-mg dose, but more than that and absorption becomes inefficient. You'll get about the same amount of calcium by taking 1,000 mg as you would if you stuck with the 500 mg or 600 mg.
Does calcium prevent fractures?
High calcium intake does result in high levels of calcium in the blood, which inhibits bone resorption—the part of the bone tissue "life cycle" in which bone tissue breaks down. If calcium levels in the blood are low, bone resorption can help nudge them back to normal. But in the process, bones get weaker and are more likely to fracture. In theory, keeping calcium levels in the blood high prevents that chain of events from happening.
But in several epidemiological studies, including some based at Harvard, people with high calcium intake haven't, as a group, broken fewer bones than people with skimpy intake. Randomized trials, which have made head-to-head comparisons between calcium and a placebo, have shown some improvement in bone density but not so much in the prevention of fractures. One possible explanation is that in the long run, there are other factors — muscle strength, balance, physical activity, vitamin D intake — that outweigh calcium intake in determining fracture risk.
There is disagreement about how much weight to give the negative evidence. Not every finding has been negative. In one important trial, the women who consistently took their calcium pills, along with 400 international units (IU) of vitamin D, did have significantly fewer broken hips. Moreover, despite the debate, the official calcium recommendations remain at the 1,000 mg and 1,200 mg level.
But it's safe to say that there are now some doubts about whether high calcium intake lives up to its billing as the best way to prevent bone breaks.
Many calcium supplements include vitamin D. Could that make a difference?
It might. Vitamin D aids in the absorption of calcium (and phosphorus), but the evidence from studies of calcium and vitamin D combinations shows mixed results. Part of the problem may be the vitamin D dose. Several important studies used 400 IU, and it may take double that amount of vitamin D to make a big difference in bone health. Most of the current batch of calcium–vitamin D products contain either 200 IU or 400 IU of D.
Vitamin D is believed to have a multitude of benefits, and many of us have less of it in our bodies than we should, partly because we don't spend much time outdoors. Sunlit skin generates the active form of the vitamin, thus the "sunshine vitamin" nickname. There's a school of thought that we need to ramp up our
Does high calcium intake cause kidney stones?
About 80% of the time kidney stones are made of calcium, so on the surface it makes sense that calcium intake might cause stones. But studies going back to the 1990s have shown just the opposite: high calcium intake, if it comes from food, makes developing a kidney stone less likely. One possible explanation is that calcium retards the absorption of oxalate, a molecule that often mixes with calcium to cause kidney stones. Oxalate is found in many plant foods, including some varieties of berries, spinach, nuts, and some grains.
Several studies have found that calcium supplements, in contrast to calcium from food, are associated with a slight increase in the risk for kidney stones. Researchers have speculated that if people take calcium pills separately from meals, or at just one meal a day (typically breakfast), then calcium may be absent from the gut much of the time and not available for oxalate-blocking duties.
Will taking calcium supplements deposit calcium in my arteries?
CT scans show calcium deposits in the atherosclerotic plaques in arteries, so there's been some concern that high calcium intake might "feed" those deposits. But calcium deposits are a consequence of the inflammatory processes that produce the atherosclerosis and probably have little to do with blood levels of the mineral. The way to avoid calcium deposits in your arteries is to follow a heart healthy lifestyle: exercising, avoiding cigarette smoking, and controlling blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol levels. And calcium might help in that regard because it seems to help lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels. The results of a New Zealand study published in 2008 caused some concern because it showed that women who took calcium (1,000 mg daily of calcium citrate) were more, not less, likely to have heart attacks and other cardiovascular problems, compared with those who took a placebo. But, as the researchers noted, this was a preliminary finding that might prompt more research and far from a final verdict on calcium and cardiovascular risk.
Is there really a connection between calcium and cancer?
The good news: studies have pretty consistently shown that people with high calcium intake and lots of dairy products in their diet are less likely to get colon cancer. Less certain are findings that suggest some protective effect for lung and breast cancer. The bad news? A number of studies have linked calcium and dairy intake to ovarian cancer and advanced-stage prostate cancer. However, it is important to keep in mind that the evidence is suggestive, not definitive, and a long way off from being proven.

Creative Photoshop Tool Stickers Used To 'Erase' Things On The Streets
English creatives Guus Ter Beek and Tayfun Sarier have created a fun blog entitled 'Street Eraser' to document the latest project they have embarked on.
Taking the Photoshop eraser tool and its familiar gray-and-white checked background out onto the streets of London, the artists plaster these 'Street Eraser' stickers onto everything, from wall graffiti, advertisements, 'stop' signs, and on random street objects.
It is as if the digital is taking over the physical world, where any and everything can be as easily erased or blotted out with Photoshop.

Years ago, when a close friend of mine decided to come out to her very religious, politically conservative parents, she knew that the chances were good that they would reject her choice and possibly refuse to ever speak to her again. Still, she felt that she could not go on living a lie and wanted them to know the truth about her. She had a wonderful partner whose love and support would help her get through this difficult time. We had long talks about how she should approach her parents. We were young and deeply troubled about the idea that her parents, who had always been strict but loving, could reject their own daughter over something that seemed so basic a part of who she was. But we both knew that it was possible.
Since that time I've had plenty of opportunity to observe and struggle with questions about why people can be so unkind to other people, even those they supposedly love. The distressing incident in which a Rutgers University student streamed to the web images of his roommate involved in physically intimate relations with another man reminded me once again of the unthinking nature - and the tremendous and dangerous power - of prejudice. (I want to be clear that none of us knows that prejudice was behind this act. We all need to be very careful about jumping to conclusions based on the limited and simplified data that news reports tend to offer us.)

I'm not on FB, Twitter, MyCloud or whatever else, so there's no data out there about me. If there's nothing to harvest then they can't harvest it - I'd rather be classified as 'boring' or 'not with it' (whatever the fuck 'It' is), than have stuff out there that might come back to bite me in the ass in 10 or 20 years time.

What concerns me with all this is his comment about "Who doesn't have a Facebook profile?".
I'll tell you who - anyone convicted of a sexual offence. You may not think someone in that situation deserves any pity - however think of this. You're not just talking about serial rapists and paedophiles, but the 16year old boy who has sex with his 14year old girlfriend and gets reported by her parents. Is he seriously trying to suggest that as well as everything else that gets in his way, he also has his credit rating ruined for life - AND an account created for him by the 'Bank of Facebook'?
Yeah - that sounds fair.
Re:RTFA (98 comments)
Did you actually read what you typed? Posting as an A/C to avoid a flamebait tag. You say about the UK/US being 'attacked' - no-one has suggested that they can't defend themselves, but that's got nothing to do with this article. As for other countries being attacked - your way of thinking is what leads to governments doing whatsoever they wish. There's a very slim line between the US/UK accessing e-mails whenever and wherever they wish under the guise of 'preventing terrorism', the Chinese government deciding to block whatever web-sites they want to under the guise of 'preventing civil uprising' and the Libyan government shutting down all Internet access because they don't want the truth about the atrocities they are carrying out reaching the outside world.
Opinions are like arseholes. Everybody's got one and they're usually full of shit.

Re:RTFA (98 comments)
It shouldn't be government regulation. No one country has the right to try and regulate the Internet, even though both the US and the UK seem to think they do far too often.
This is yet another reason why we (that's the global 'we', not just the few) need a totally independent Internet regulation authority, funded by every government, to oversee the whole thing. They could make decisions for the good of the Internet, not for the good of their own little corner of the world, or because industry is threatening to withdraw funding for their next election campaign.

Dropbox is, indeed, useful ... (168 comments)
... but I would never put anything on there that I wouldn't be just as happy nailing to my local telegraph pole for everybody to read. If it's in the 'cloud' then it cannot possibly be considered to be secure as somebody has physical access to the server holding my data. If I really want to put something 'personal' on DropBox, Ubuntu One or whatever, then I encrypt it, archive it with a password, then upload it as something else innocuous-looking.
Anyone who actually believes there's any level of security to something that's 'out there' then they need their head examining.
Good on the judge (54 comments)
Given a couple of recent stories here on Slashdot which involve juries and seem to end up with people discussing various ways of getting out of jury duty (of which 'being openly racist / homophobic' etc seem to be the suggested routes) maybe the judge has also been loitering here and read the same posts?

I've preferred to use Gnome over recent years as I just found KDE to be not right - couldn't get on with it. With the way both are now going, I can see myself having to switch again.

and I don't particularly like them when they make the 'geek' community look bad - because it's only the bad stuff that tends to make the news - but if a result of this hack is that people (the big companies, the governments, the FOSS people with the good ideas) finally get together and work on a safe, secure and sensible way of carrying out net authentication that DOESN'T rely on me handing over my security credentials to someone else to manage, then it is a good thing in my eyes.
This has to be a good thing (127 comments)
if they can get it approved and produced in large-enough quantities. It has been known for a long time that breast milk is far better than any of the 'formula' milks alternatives out there. There are, sadly, many women who cannot breast-feed for one reason or another (it may not be a high percentage, but it is still a lot of women). For them, they want to see the best done for their child and if this is a way of keeping their child healthier than the alternative then I'm sure an awful lot of them would take it as an option. I know that my wife and I would have done when she couldn't breast-feed our 2nd born due to her suffering from post-natal depression.
Belated April Fool Joke? (104 comments)
Not only does this not look to me like a particularly professional reporting site, if you follow the link on the page 'Which authors of this paper are endorsers?' you get the following;-
"No authors of 1103.6219 can endorse.

Tetyana Laptyeva V.: Is registered as an author of this paper.
Not currently an endorser.
S. Flach and K. Kladko are not registered as owners of this paper"
If nobody is willing to endorse the paper then surely it's not been peer-reviewed and is, consequently at this time, worthless. It's no different to if I put a paper out there stating that I was going to produce safe passwords by generating random characters from snail-trails.

Re:FBI is lazy (137 comments)
The problem with having the FBI convert the original note to an ASCII text-only file is that a lot of the potential information would be lost. The positioning of the characters could be just as important (or even more so) than the characters themselves. Also, the characters vary - he had two distinct ways of writing the letter 'E' for example - one looked like the upper-case text that I've just typed, one looked more like the Euro currency symbol.
They'd have been much better served providing a decent high-resolution scan of the notes, rather than the crappy images that actually got linked everywhere - 1200x1200 dpi minimum.

A Photoelectric Colorimeter with Logarithmic Response

The instrument consists of a vacuum photoelectric cell feeding into a vacuum tube voltmeter with logarithmic input characteristic. The voltmeter employs a type 6D6 tube which is provided with a properly chosen biasing resistor in the cathode lead. This gives a plate current proportional to the logarithm of the input voltage. Since this relationship never extends to zero plate current, a portion of the plate current is balanced out, giving in effect, a suppressed zero instrument. Suitable shunts and a choice of input resistors afford several ranges of sensitivity. The output meter can be calibrated directly in concentration units. Other methods of achieving the same result are discussed.

Ultralife To Exit Energy Services Business
Ultralife Corporation (NASDAQ: ULBI) announced today that it will exit and close its Energy Services business. For the past two years, cautious spending and continued delays in implementing large capital projects by customers in the lead acid standby power industry have negatively impacted results for the company's Energy Services segment.
In the fourth quarter of 2010, the company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $13.8 million to write-off the goodwill and intangible assets and certain fixed assets associated with its Energy Services business. Since 2008, this business has incurred significant operating losses.
In connection with exiting its Energy Services business, the company expects to incur closing costs of approximately $3.2 million of which approximately $1.2 million will be recorded in the first quarter of 2011. The cash component of the closing costs is approximately $2.2 million and is expected to be offset by cash received from accounts receivables and liquidated assets. The company expects to complete the exit by the end of the third quarter. Once completed, the Energy Services segment will be reclassified as a discontinued operation.
"Since joining Ultralife two months ago, I have been conducting reviews of each business segment and the products in our portfolio with a view toward assessing their contribution to the company's long-term sustainable growth and quality of earnings. As part of this exercise, we have examined the growth and profitability potential of the Energy Services business, taking into consideration its sizeable operating losses over the last several years and the time and resources required to achieve hurdle rate profitability levels going forward," said Michael D. Popielec, Ultralife's president and chief executive officer."By exiting the Energy Services business, we will be able to focus our resources on profitable growth opportunities, and expand our presence in commercial markets and internationally. This includes the development of new lithium ion storage technologies for renewable energy applications as well as for the transition from lead acid to lithium ion products in the standby power industry," said Popielec.

"If I had pulled the trigger two seconds earlier, Wallenberg would be here to see his kid play. Instead, I got some dead man robbing jewelry stores and sending me haikus."The detectives are on the heels of a very unbalanced criminal who has left them a trail of clues to follow — usually a test of their intellect, or their investigatory skills, as though the criminal wants to see if the detectives are worthy of catching him. Not only do the detectives oblige the nutter and follow his breadcrumb trail, they tend to give up all conventional routes of investigation. Usually they are the minutest step behind their quarry right until the end. Sometimes the criminal wishes to distract or trap the detectives, sometimes they want them to uncover some other truth along the way, but usually they're just being a real smartass. Sometimes the clues are hidden in the Serial Killer's Calling Card or in its gruesome souvenirs. There is often a Breaking Speech (or "The Reason You Suck" Speech) and a Kirk Summation (or "World of Cardboard" Speech) exchange between The Protagonist and antagonist some time before the climax. These people often enjoy wordplay. Anagrams abound, as well as sentences with a carefully designed second meaning, and proper nouns which are conveniently also real words ("wait a minute, does he mean Jim Trashcompacter?"). See also Linked List Clue Methodology for a number of non-(or at least less) criminal scavenger hunts. Compare The Walrus Was Paul.

Real estate activity picks up in greater Rochester area
Thursday, January 9, 2014
ROCHESTER — Looked at county-wide, 2013 was a slightly busier year than 2012 in term of real estate activity, as measured by the number of deeds and mortgages recorded at the Strafford County Registry of Deeds.
Vachon, putting the county's figures together, said, "The real estate market is slightly better than last year. Transactions are up, foreclosures are down. It is definitely a market showing signs of a recovery."
In Strafford County, foreclosures declined over the year by over 25 percent from 371 to 277.
"If you put the chart for the years from 1998 to 2005 alongside that for 2007 to 2013, they will look identical," he said.

In 1961, President Dwight Eisenhower addressed the nation for the last time in office, issuing a strange warning. 'We face a hostile ideology [communism] global in scope, atheistic in character, ruthless in purpose and insidious in method ... [warning about what he saw as unjustified government spending proposals] [that] we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by [Ike leans forward for emphasis] the congressional military industrial complex... Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together.' Richard M Nixon was seething with angry. Not only had Ike failed to back him during the campaign, not his former boss was trying to really spoil things for him.

Tim Andriola was packing on the pounds. Even after the chef and owner of Timo, the Sunny Isles Beach Italian eatery, figured out how to cut down on eating and get to the gym, he says he still had to take naps when he got home from the restaurant.
There was the disappearing jawline leading to the slow growth of the dreaded double chin, accompanied by the ever-shortening slack of apron string. So he signed up for ten weeks with Virginia-based Vaughn Gray, a life coach who blends philosophy with healthy living.
"It was exactly what I needed to hear not only as chef but also as someone who's interested in health and nutrition," Andriola says. "It changed the way I look at food."
17608 Collins Ave.
Sunny Isles Beach, FL 33160
Category: Restaurant > Contemporary
Region: Aventura/North Miami Beach
Andriola dropped 30 pounds and today sits at a cool 178. And his new thinking has now manifested in Basil Park, an all-day restaurant steps away from Timo on Collins Avenue. The menu offers plenty of what you'd expect in a health-food joint — kale chips, a California vegetable wrap, and a quinoa salad with dried fruit.
"We're hunter-gatherers, we ate foods from the land, intact grains, nuts, berries, and a little bit of fish and meat," he says. "That's what our bodies were built to do."
The restaurant also relies on a small forest of microgreens grown on a one-acre farm in Dania Beach and owned by Tamer Harpke, a partner at Basil Park who has worked with Andriola since the two met at Mark Militello's North Miami Beach restaurant Mark's Place in the '90s.
Yet it's not strictly for models and birds. There's a soba noodle hot pot with chicken, shiitake mushrooms, and a poached egg. There's also an abundance of grass-fed beef and fish taquitos with tortillas made from pressed brown rice.
"We want to be a restaurant first," Andriola says. "You should be eating real rib eye steak, just not one that's genetically modified and corn-fed."
And if you're in the mood for something heartier, there's always Timo, where Andriola continues to serve foie gras, truffle and egg raviolo, and slow-braised lamb shank.
