Vitamin K Finder
For many patients taking warfarin, information about dietary vitamin K is difficult to obtain. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration requires that all food and beverage products be labeled with nutritional content; however, vitamin K information is not included on most labels. This omission makes it difficult for you to remain consistent in dietary vitamin K consumption.
Would you like to see vitamin K on food labels? Please complete our survey.
Now over 5,000 items on our Vitamin K Finder!

Recently, Bollywood actress Manisha Koirala wedded a Nepali businessman Samrat Dahal. The actress has signed her first film, post marriage, where she will be essaying the role of a politician.
In a statement, Manisha said, "I am very happy to get this role. I wanted to act in different films with challenging roles after marriage and this is just perfect. I am looking forward to start working in this film."
Under the banner of Yograj Cinevista, the film will start rolling once the rest of the cast and crew are finalized.
According a statement issued by the producer, "We are making this women-centric film under the banner of Yograj Cinevista, in which Manisha will be playing the role of a politician."
In real life, Manisha's grandfather BP Koirala is the first elected Prime Minister of Nepal. The actress, who debuted in Bollywood in 1991 with Subhash Ghai's Saudagar, said that she always wanted to play the role of a politician.
Manisha was highly appreciated for her performance in Vidhu Vinod Chopra's 1942: A Love Story, Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Khamoshi and for Mani Ratnam's Bombay as well as Dil Se.
She has other projects in her hand apart from this unnamed movie. These include Rohit Kaushik's Chehere, Deepti Naval's directorial debut Do Paise Ki Dhoop and director Onir's I Am series, where she will be seen playing a Kashmiri woman.

15 Signs You May Have an Iron Deficiency
You're pale
There's a reason the words "pale" and "sickly" are often used interchangeably. Hemoglobin gives your blood its red color and, thus, your skin its rosy hue. That means that low levels of the protein can suck the color straight from your skin, Dr. Moritz says. If you have a light complexion, it's pretty easy to spot. No matter your skin tone, though, if the inside of your lips, your gums, and the inside of your bottom eyelids are less red than usual, low iron may be to blame.

I'm a java programmer and am trying to understand the difference between a method (java methods) and a function (such as in c++). I used to think that they are the same, just different naming conventions for different programming languages. But now that I know they are not, I am having trouble understanding the difference.
I know that a method relates to an instance of a class and has access to class data (member variables), while a function does not (?). So is a function kind of like a static method?
See here for explanations I read which led me to think this.

Feb. 7th, 2011
Just wanted to let everybody know that I played Carolina National yesterday and the golf course is in great shape. As you probably know, Carolina National features 27 holes of Fred Couples designed golf. The 9's are named Ibis, Egret and Heron.
We played all 3 nines yesterday and I am happy to report that all 3 are in great condition. The greens are smooth and quick, the fairways and tees are over seeded and play really nicely.
Another thing I really like about Carolina National is the friendly staff… from the time you arrive at the bag drop until you pay your check in 19th hole, you're treated like a VIP. Everyone is friendly and attentive and for me, this adds a great deal to the experience.
This would be a great addition to your golf trip.
Leave your comments below about Carolina National or other courses you've played along the trail.

Remembrance Day Challenge
Tomorrow marks Remembrance Day–a day set aside to remember those who died in the hell that is war. A challenge to everyone: set aside 10 minutes to reflect and remember a deceased warrior–not necessarily a soldier as a warrior can take many forms–and if you are doing a full personal practice, dedicate your practice to that person or group of people. Then take one concrete action to help stop the ongoing wars–beyond just signing a petition, find some action you can take to either help prevent more fighting or relieve the suffering of victims. Tomorrow marks an excellent day to get our heads out of the yoga clouds for a moment and see what steps we can take to end the very real suffering of others here and now.

Tom Cruise movie filming causes London roads to shut down
11:30 26 November 2012
PA Archive/Press Association Images
Tom Cruise brought London to a near standstill for three hours on Sunday as he filmed scenes from his latest movie.
'All You Need Is Kill' was filmed at Trafalgar Square, resulting in the shut down of a number of surrounding streets.
Tourists and resident were left angry as it meant they were unable to visit the sights and trapped in road closures.
Louise Allain, of Westminster, said: "I wanted to get to Mass this morning but Trafalgar Square was closed.
Thanks for nothing, Tom."
Visitor Mary Lamont said, to The Sun newspaper: "I can't believe the whole of central London has been closed just because of a film."
While filming the scenes, Tom made a spectacular entrance in an RAF Puma helicopter, which landed in the tourist hotspot under Nelson's Column.
The square was also full of armoured vehicles for the dramatic movie shoot.
A Westminster City spokesman admitted Londoners would not benefit financially from the filming - although he added: "It raises the profile of the city and is good for tourism."
Tom has spent the past few months in the UK filming the movie.

Remains of mansion archaeologists believe likely belonged to Queen Helene of Adiabene unearthed during dig in east Jerusalem parking lot; building by far the largest and most elaborate structure discovered in the City of David area
Associated Press
Published: 12.06.07, 10:56 / Israel News
Associated Press
Israeli archaeologists digging in an east Jerusalem parking lot have uncovered a 2,000-year-old mansion they believe likely belonged to Queen Helene of Adiabene, a minor but exceptional character in the city's history.
Today there is a downtown Jerusalem street named for her. There is a "high probability" that the mansion belonged to Helene's family, simply because no other building comes close to matching the historical description, Israel Antiquities Authority archaeologist Doron Ben-Ami said at a news conference announcing the discovery Wednesday.

Economic panel slams state woes
California's budget mess may drive unemployment
California's state budget has become the darkest cloud on the state's economic horizon, threatening to push the jobless rate to new heights and quash the chances for a strong recovery, according to a forecast released today by economists at the University of California Los Angeles.
The UCLA Anderson Forecast — one of the state's best-known economic panels — predicts that by the end of next year, the state will lay off 64,000 employees, adding 0.4 percent to the unemployment rate and pushing the total to 12.1 percent.
And that's assuming that Sacramento manages to craft a budget that will address the state's $24.3 billion deficit. If the Legislature cannot approve a working budget, the economic outlook will be even darker, said UCLA economist Jerry Nickelsburg.
"If you look at the downside risks to our forecast, that's the largest one," Nickelsburg said. "Right now, you've got one side saying we should cut taxes and another side saying we should cut services while the executive branch is playing at brinksmanship, seeing if we can operate the state without having a government. Nobody's reached the point of making hard choices."
Layoffs of government employees and other cutbacks in services would slow growth throughout the state in 2010, said Stephen Levy, director of the Center for the Continuing Study of the California Economy in Palo Alto.
"The stimulus package has already put a floor under the recession, making sure it won't become a depression," Levy said. "And we're not going to lose any industries, like we did in the early 1990s. But the more the state cuts jobs in education and turns kids away from San Diego State University, the more it means that we're not prepared to take advantage of the opportunities that might present themselves when the recovery begins."
Outside the state budget issue, the forecast saw a mixture of good news and bad news in most areas of the economy:
•Housing. Housing prices have returned to their historic trends, implying that a bottom finally may be coming after a three-year decline. The forecast predicted that it will not be until late 2009 that prices will be tempting enough for the residential real estate market to stabilize.
"That's a reasonable forecast, assuming that the rise in unemployment doesn't spark a new wave of foreclosures that will play out as negatively as the wave of subprime foreclosures," said Gary London, head of London Realty Advisors in San Diego. "But right now, sales numbers have been going up and prices do seem to be stabilizing."
San Diego real estate broker Bob Schwartz said he is "skeptical" about whether the real estate market is close to a bottom, with defaults rising and mortgage rates shooting up from their postwar lows.
"You need to get employment stabilizing before housing will stabilize," Schwartz said.
•Employment. The forecast predicted that the jobless rate will grow from its current level of 11 percent to a high of 12.1 percent by mid-2010. It will not drop below the 10 percent mark until late 2011, largely because of continuing layoffs in manufacturing, weakness in the retail sector and an expected wave of layoffs from state and local governments.
"The stalled California economy is simply not producing the jobs required for the new entrants to the work force," the forecast said.
On the other hand, California's green industries, together with biomedical technology and high-tech could help the state achieve job and income growth better than the national average by 2011, erasing the long-standing gap between the national unemployment average and the state's jobless rate.
Esmael Adibi, economist at Chapman University in Orange, said employment may turn out to be better than UCLA is forecasting.

A local developer has lost another round in his bid to build high-rise condos at Bay Point.
By a 2 to 1 margin the First District Court of Appeals voted to uphold a ruling by the Florida Cabinet to stop the development plans of Joe Chapman of Panama City.
Chapman had planned to build three high-rise condos at Bay Point, ranging from 10 to 12 stories.
So far almost every local and state agency has sided with Bay Point residents, who said they would fight any building taller than five stories.
Chapman could appeal to the state Supreme Court, but there's no word yet on his next legal move.

A silo of their own
for the lost boys
One exception to media-multitasking: Video games
By Toni Fitzgerald
It seems that every month brings a
new survey detailing how we no longer use media in a single silo, to use the
vogue research term, meaning apart from and independent of other media.
In this relatively recent way of looking at media usage,
online/TV/magazines--heck, even reading the mail--are mushed together as
one vast media super-session.
We are a nation of media multi-taskers.
But it turns out there's one exception: video games.
Video games still exist in a
silo, at least when it comes to simultaneous use with television.
And, sadly for advertisers, that's where the lost boys of
media are spending their time.
Ever since the broadcast networks began screaming
earlier this year about a swift downturn in TV watching by men 18-34, they've
been looking for a reason, and video games have popped up several times as
a potential cause.
Now a new survey from the American Press Institute's Media
Center conducted by BIG Research finds that, indeed, these gamers are turning off
the tube for online time, and it's not just the men.
TV viewing dipped 8.8 percent among 18-24s and 12.2 percent
among 25-34s in favor of video games.
"What's an interesting
question is what else video game players are doing in addition to not
watching television," says Media Center researcher Jennifer Kronstain.
"I think everyone knows that advertisers have to be on multiple
platforms to reach multiple audiences these days. But part of what's
enlightening is that the report describes or indicates how to be certain a
platform will influence purchasing decisions by doing certain things."
Older people and users of other
media are not switching off the television.
In fact, simultaneous usage of TV and other media, such as online
and newspapers, is more prevalent than ever, with 74 percent of the study
respondents reporting it.
It's merely with video games
and television that consumers are making a conscious choice of one over
the other.
Sixty-six percent of respondents
said they watch TV while going online. But nearly as many, 52.1 percent,
say they listen to the radio (songs or talk) while they surf. About 20
percent read the newspaper while on the web.
Nearly 62 percent watch television
while waiting for internet downloads to finish. Another 20.2 percent read
the newspaper during that time.
When it comes to purchase influence, TV
still rules, though word-of-mouth buzz via friends over the cell phone is
becoming a huge influence.
Nearly 61 percent of TV watchers
and newspaper readers both consider television one of the most influential
factors in purchase decisions.
Eighty percent of cell phone
users say that word of mouth is very important in their decision to
purchase goods, compared to 72.5 percent of all consumers.
Of course, cell phone users also seem to stay connected
longer than the general population and thus exchange more word of mouth,
too – the study found that cell users are online for four hours per day
compared to three for the overall respondents.
Many online users, 56.2 percent,
say that radio is an important or very important influence on purchase
"Advertisers have to be in lots
of places in order to capture the market," says Media Center co-director
Dale Peskin. "Our data suggests there are many places people are getting
information to make decisions on."
Among the other interesting
findings: Movies apparently make the best newspaper companion as 64.3
percent of simultaneous paper/TV users said they watch them while reading.
Fifty-six percent chose detective shows and 51.5 percent chose sitcoms.

That's all well and good but where's the Dolly Sprint?!
Classicmotoringllc.com - my new brokerage and consulting business based out of a lavishly converted first floor bedroom in Allentown, PA. I am always looking for quality enthusiast cars to consign, research projects or consultation opportunities. Keep an eye on my page as you can see my blabberings about cars and other such junk in the blog section!
I wonder if BMW will ever bring back the triumph like they did the Mini
They should have had Rudy Ray Moore test it.

Don't bet on it. The Austin Princess has a better chance.
Do you enjoy old cars and long-winded stories about them? If your answer is "yes", then you might enjoy my blogpage. Try it here: http://vwlarry.blogspot.com . Leave a comment, too; I love feedback! Thanx for reading.

text: You already know that your Spoonflower fabric is fabulous and eminently sewable, but don't chuck that perfectly usable Tyvek envelope we shipped it in! I just saw this tutorial (via Craft) from Becky Stern on how to transform your used Tyvek envelope into a lunch bag--mighty timely if you've got a back-to-schooler like me. Becky says that the resulting lunch bag won't last forever, but having seen a similar project (a Tyvek tote) in Betz White's new book, Sewing Green, and having also been lucky enough to fondle said Tyvek tote in a Betz workshop awhile back, I've gotta say it seems like pretty sturdy stuff to me!

Match report: Villa 1-2 Chelsea - Lampard double wins it
Bogeyman Frank Lampard's record-breaking exploits denied Villa the chance to complete their top-flight survival mission.
On an emotional afternoon at Villa Park - which saw the claret and blue family pay tribute to retiring club captain Stiliyan Petrov - the hosts seemed on course for at least a share of the spoils after taking the lead through Christian Benteke.
But Lampard - who has managed more goals against Villa than any other Premier League club - scored twice in the second half to settle a contest which saw both teams finish with 10 men.
The match-winning strikes also propelled Lampard to the top of Chelsea's all-time top goalscorers list.
Villa made one enforced change from last weekend's 2-1 success at Norwich City.
A thigh strain ended Matt Lowton's hopes of featuring in every Barclays Premier League game this season, meaning Eric Lichaj came in at right-back.
Lambert's men produced some neat passages of play during a cagey opening period but Andi Weimann and Yacouba Sylla both opted to lay off to team-mates when in promising positions rather than go for goal.
The home side's ability to swiftly turn defence in to attack prevailed on 14 minutes when Benteke struck the opener.
After latching on to an incisive pass from Sylla in the left channel, the Belgian showed former Villa defender Gary Cahill a clean pair of heels before slotting a left-foot shot past Petr Cech at the near post.
There was little sign of the carnival atmosphere dying down and the home fans were almost out of their seats again moments later when Fabian Delph's 25-yard effort missed the target by inches.
Then came the moment everyone inside Villa Park had been anticipating.
The clock struck 19 minutes and the stadium rose as one to salute inspirational Petrov.
What followed was an even greater cheer as the retiring skipper appeared on the giant screens to acknowledge the claret and blue faithful.
As those in attendance came to terms with those emotional scenes, Chelsea began to move through the gears.
Thankfully, Brad Guzan was on hand to justify his double Player of the Year tag, rushing out to thwart Demba Ba with a brave block.
The American keeper also made a stunning double save, firstly diving to his left to tip Lampard's powerfully-struck free-kick on to the post before scrambling across his goal to block the follow-up from Juan Mata.
Already a goal up, Villa went in at the break a man up after Ramires was shown a second yellow card for a dangerous challenge on Gabby Agbonlahor.
Rafael Benitez introduced David Luiz for Victor Moses at the break in attempt to reverse the away team's fortunes.
Initially, at least, the change failed to stop Villa continuing in the same vein.
Cahill made a last-ditch sliding block to deny Agbonlahor after a rampaging run from the Erdington-born forward, while Sylla, Agbonlahor and Joe Bennett all miscued with efforts from just inside the box.
However, a contest already packed full of incident took another turn on 58 minutes. Benteke - already booked earlier for a foul on Cesar Azpilicueta - caught Chelsea skipper John Terry with a high boot and left referee Lee Mason with little option but to produce a second yellow and subsequent red.
Lampard seized the initiative. He levelled the scores on 61 minutes with a left-foot rising drive which left Guzan with no chance.
No sign of the drama ending there, though.
Cahill looked to have delivered a hammer blow to his old club on 72 minutes, only to see his shot blocked by the legs of Sylla on the line.
Ba reacted quickly to try and forced home the rebound but Westwood somehow kept it out.
Typically, it was Lampard who had the final say three minutes from time.
Eden Hazard slid a pass across the six-yard box, allowing Lampard to convert a late winner.
VILLA: Guzan, Lichaj, Vlaar [c], Baker, Bennett, Westwood, Delph, Sylla, Weimann, Agbonlahor, Benteke. Subs: Given, Holman, Williams, Gardner, Bent, Bowery, N'Zogbia, Bannan.
CHELSEA: Cech, Cole, Cahill, Terry [c], Azpilicueta, Ramires, Lampard, Moses, Mata, Hazard, Ba. Subs: Turnbull, Ivanovic [for Terry, 76], Luiz [for Moses, HT], Torres [for Ba, 87], Oscar, Benayoun, Ake.

Carrie Lingo serves on Olympic committee
Local U.S. Olympian and Cape Henlopen High School graduate Carrie Lingo serves on the U.S. Olympic Committee, Athlete Advisory Council.
The USOC AAC is responsible for broadening communication between the USOC and active athletes, and serves as a source of input and advice to the USOC Board of Directors. The AAC consists of at least one athlete from each sport in which the United States is represented at the Olympic and Pan American Games. Lingo represents field hockey.
With Rio 2016 Olympics on the horizon, the USOC AAC is busy making sure the athletes are getting what they need to remain successful. Recently, Lingo, along with a dedicated group of USOC AAC volunteers, met in San Diego, Calif., for a two-day intense meeting schedule to discuss issues relating to safe sport, health insurance, gender equality and many other issues.
"The group of athletes involved are incredible!" Lingo said. "Each athlete representative of both Olympic and Paralympic takes a step away from their individual sport, and they come together to protect all sports. My focus currently is revamping our elite athlete health insurance, a big task, but one I am happy to do if it means our future athletes are protected, especially our future elite athletes of Delaware."
Shown at the latest meeting in California are (l-r) James Gillenwater, USA Rugby; Carrie Lingo, USA Field Hockey; and Curt Tomesevicz, bobsled gold medalist.

With "Get It Now" App, San Franciscans Can Have Anything Delivered By Courier
By David Weir on May 29, 2012 9:45 AM
When it launched with its first iPhone app last December, Soma-based Postmates represented what its founder, Bastian Lehmann, called "a FedEx for local deliveries" here in the city.
Its goal was to get every store in San Francisco to start using couriers to make home deliveries– something few merchants have done traditionally.
"But we met some resistance from the stores; they had lots of questions," says Lehmann. "I realized we weren't going to achieve our goal anytime soon."
Meanwhile, while merchants may have been hesitant, consumers were not.

My father answered when they called. They claimed that they were from Windows 8 support, and they had received a report that his computer may be infected with a virus. He told them that there was no chance, the joke was on them, that we use LINUX in this house, and that his son (me) is the one to turn to for help on such issues. He then very politely suggested they remove the number from their lists, as they had promised to do last time they called (from a different number) 4 months ago. The heavily-accented Indian said he would, and that he was sorry for the inconvenience, and then he hung up.
Kudos DAD!
First time when out of town, did not answer and no message left. Today I answered and caller states calling about my home computer and windows. I started having computer issues prior to Christmas.

Cooking is universal, and everyone loves to participate, which makes a cooking game a smart choice to turn into a DS title. Combined with the right mechanics, a cooking simulator could be truly entertaining. Enter Majesco Entertainment and Taito's quirky and unique cooking sim, Cooking Mama, which goes where no game has ever gone before, to the kitchen!
Considering that the main focus of Cooking Mama is the unique control mechanics, graphics were probably not a priority. All the graphics are in a two-dimensional form with great color, so things are going to be simple but nice to look at. Ingredients and foods are bright and vibrant, but lack a whole lot of detail. Telling them apart is usually fairly simple, but sometimes certain ingredients will look too similar to another. It isn't a big deal because you will not be quizzed on what ingredients are similar in color to another, but it's disappointing nonetheless.
Although some detail is lacking in the food and ingredients, there seems to be quite a bit of action going on when you cook. When frying ingredients, they sizzle and smoke, adding a bit of realism to the actual cooking. For example, when frying pork on a pan, you will notice it start to smoke up; if the pork gets left on for too long, it will begin to burn and turn black. The details in the effects are impressive.
Nothing mind-blowingly impressive came out of the DS speakers, but some interesting effect sounds did make things a bit more realistic. Sizzling, steaming, chopping, boiling, blowing, and just about any action you can perform in Cooking Mama has a corresponding sound. Each corresponding clip is unique and sounds pretty good; but it's not as if different ingredients have different sounds. So while a respectable variety of cooking clips can be heard, it's not quite as much as one would hope for in a game that is specifically about cooking.
The music is possibly the most treacherous part to Cooking Mama. The quality of the cheery menu music is fine, but it just gets replayed over and over. The same music appears in every menu and every meal you cook, so if you're a person who goes insane over this type of thing, watch out.
Cooking Mama has a few different modes that all revolve around a series of cooking minigames. The main mode is "Let's Cook", in which Mama, who I presume is your mother, will lay out up to 76 dishes for you to attempt. After selecting a dish, minigame after minigame will appear until the dish is completed. Each minigame requires you to do certain things, such as pour rice, chop cucumbers, peel lettuce, stir a boiling pot of soup and various others. Every minigame uses the stylus or microphone in some way, so cooking these dishes is fun. After completing all the minigames, Mama will give you a score and a medal based on how accurate you were in the minigames. Since the minigames are fairly easy, you should have no problem getting at least a silver medal in every dish you attempt; and as long as you complete a dish, you unlock a new one.
The minigame set up for cooking is fun at first, but after a while, the novelty wears off. The game makes great use of the stylus and touch screen, but the game doesn't progress much past unlocking new dishes to attempt. After the twenty or so dishes, the incentive to continue playing through the main mode wears thin. This is rather disappointing, especially considering how strong and responsive the controls are.
Cooking Mama also allows players to combine two dishes that may go well together, such as rice with fried dumplings, which would be called a dumpling rice bowl. This is virtually the same as the main mode except it features more minigames in one sitting. Another mode, "Use Skill," lets you take on a series of challenges involving the skills you learn when cooking. For example, in "Chop" you are told to chop up a certain vegetable as fast as you can before the time runs out. This can be pretty intense as you'll find yourself tapping at the screen to cut vegetables in a flurry of speed.
Actually being able to tap at the screen to chop, or make swirling motions to stir soup certainly makes Cooking Mama a unique title to play, but it's too bad that there isn't a whole lot after the initial wave of fun.
Cooking Mama is one of those non-games that can really grab the attention of virtually anyone, gamer or non-gamer. Controls are tight and responsive, and offer up an entirely new experience, especially since Cooking Mama is one of the first of its kind, but the experience will not last. Cooking Mama will give most players a solid three to four hours of fun and unique control experience. In the end, Cooking Mama is like an onion on a frying pan: it smells strong at first, but once it burns, it begins to smell old and nasty.

Does anyone has success story of creating 'matches pattern' filter?
None of mine still doesn't work. I can only use with 'contains'
Anyone has any idea?
[Working together for better community]
I am also having inconsistent results with one mail filter and no success with 2 others.
This filter does not work, the message remains in my Inbox. I've tried variations, using 'matches pattern' with asterisks, etc. I'm basically trying to get anything that comes in to my gmail account filed accordingly.Code:# Stergil if anyof (header :contains "to" "stergil" ) { fileinto "/Inbox/Stergil"; stop; }
I have another gmail account that I'm trying to filter inbound messages from as well with the same results.
The one that does work (most of the time) filters for automated bank messages. I have a few dozen of the messages in a folder, and a stray always pops up in the Inbox after a week or two. It's the same automated message that's sent daily. Nothing changes but the body, and the filter only evaluates the subject & from fields.
It should be noted that the two filters that do not work at all are receiving messages from POP accounts from within Zimbra. The bank notices, which are properly filtered most of the time, are received through my normal Zimbra mail address/server.
The way things currently stand, mail filtering only occurs when a message comes in over LMTP. So if you're retrieving mail from an external POP account, mail filters won't run. The way things are now, data sources (POP, IMAP, etc.) all have a root folder that mail gets delivered to. We use that folder to check for new messages in the leave-on-server case. We could potentially use mail filtering in the case where you don't leave messages on the server. Not sure if this would cause more benefit or confusion. If you think we should support mail filtering for POP accounts, please file an enhancement request in Bugzilla.
As far as filters that use matching instead of contains, you'll need to use wildcards. Here's a blurb from the Sieve spec that describes the behavior.
Several people have been confused by the "matches pattern" terminology. I filed bug 19737 for this issue.Code:The ":matches" version specifies a wildcard match using the characters "*" and "?". "*" matches zero or more characters, and "?" matches a single character. "?" and "*" may be escaped as "\\?" and "\\*" in strings to match against themselves. The first backslash escapes the second backslash; together, they escape the "*". This is awkward, but it is commonplace in several programming languages that use globs and regular expressions.
Alright, thanks for the reply.
It would be a welcome change if POP mail accounts had an interval setting to automatically check for new mail.

Scout ousted over plant action
- By Susanne Rust
Expulsion from the Boy Scouts of America is a dishonor few Scouts endure. But that was the punishment imposed on Kim Kuska, a self-taught naturalist and former biology teacher who had been with the organization for more than 50 years.
His crime: an obsession with the rare, and unfortunately named, Dudley's lousewort.
Since the 1970s, the Eagle Scout and adult Scout leader-turned-whistle-blower has worked to protect the plant from extinction at Camp Pico Blanco, a Boy Scout camp nestled in the mountains along the Little Sur River south of Monterey, Calif.
The camp is home to nearly 50 percent of all known specimens of
Dudley's lousewort, a flowering fern-like plant found in only three places in the world.
But over the past four decades, Scout officials and camp staff have threatened its existence repeatedly by harvesting old-growth trees it needs to survive, crushing some of the few remaining plants and introducing potentially competitive species. Under state law, it is illegal to harm a plant that is classified as rare.
The camp also cut down several trees in the old-growth forest in 2011 without a permit, a Scout official acknowledged.
At each turn, Kuska was there to document the misdeeds.
The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection is investigating the 2011 incident as a result of questions from the Center for Investigative Reporting.
While the Boy Scouts have drawn national attention for their intolerance toward gays, the organization also has compiled a poor record on environmental protection. In 2009, Hearst Newspapers reported that the Scouts clear-cut tens of thousands of acres of forestland across the country and operated a dam at Camp Pico Blanco that killed at least 30 federally protected steelhead trout. The camp installed a fish ladder as part of a no-fault settlement.
At the camp, which is surrounded by the Los Padres National Forest, state environmental agencies and conservationists repeatedly have warned the Scouts to protect the lousewort. Yet the Scouts have continued to harm the plants, according to records spanning more than 30 years.
In 1989, for instance, Monterey County cited the Scouts for their "repeated destruction of Dudley's lousewort and its habitat," the documents show.
And in 2012, Brian LeNeve, president of the California Native Plant Society's Monterey Bay chapter, informed the organization that he was "deeply concerned" that the lousewort's territory was shrinking dramatically because of the camp's habitat "disruption."
"There have been some well-documented concerns," Ron Schoenmehl, director of support services for the Boy Scouts' Silicon Valley Monterey Bay Council, acknowledged during a recent camp tour.
But Schoenmehl said the Boy Scouts are now determined to "coexist peacefully" with the plant and are creating a camp management plan.
Kuska, 60, has been helping the Native Plant Society study the plant with its delicate white and purple flowers since the 1970s, when he served as the Scouts' nature director at Pico Blanco.
In May 2012, before his expulsion, Kuska marked a lousewort near the dining hall with an orange flag. Two weeks later, he noticed that someone had rolled a wheelbarrow over the plant. Concerned, he added another flag to mark the plant and surrounded it with a circle of fist-sized rocks. Weeks later, he saw someone had placed the rocks on top of the plant.
"It was an unbelievably hostile move," he said.
Schoenmehl said he was unaware of the incident.
The lousewort takes its name from the folk belief that the plant infested sheep with lice. The Pico Blanco species was named for 19th-century Stanford University botanist William Dudley. Thriving only among old-growth trees, it depends on leaf litter produced by the redwoods and on a complex array of fungi that grows on the roots of the firs.

As a carrot seed germinates, it sends a questing taproot down into the ground in search of water and nutrients. The best roots grow in soil that's well broken up and free of clay clods and stones; soil texture is more important than fertility. Light loam supplied with sifted compost will yield long, clean, straight carrots. In heavier soil, roots will be shorter, rough around the edges, caked with clay and possibly twisted.
In any garden, a raised bed—an area of ground from 30 to 45 centimetres wide, with loose earth down to a depth of 15 to 25 centimetres—is an excellent idea for carrots. Use the corner of a rake, trowel handle or your finger to open a shallow furrow about one centimetre deep along the length of the bed. Side-by-side furrows, 10 to 15 centimetres apart, form an intensively planted bed—a solid sheet of feathery green tops by midsummer—and give you a lot of carrots from a limited space. Cover seeds with one centimetre of fine soil or sifted compost; where clay abounds, a covering of sand is easier for the fragile carrot sprouts to push through.
Once seeds germinate, there may be another hurdle or two. Delicate and slow to grow, showing just a few wispy leaves for what seems like weeks, carrot seedlings are a favourite forage (along with beets and Swiss chard) for earwigs. Like vampires, earwigs hide from the sun by day and emerge to feed at night. The best defence is to plant seeds early, when daffodils are in bloom or about three weeks before spring's frost-free date. Seedlings will be up and on their way before the year's batch of earwigs hatch. If damage does occur, a soap solution, either insecticidal soap or five milli-litres of dishwashing liquid in a one-litre spray bottle, dispatches earwigs quickly. But you have to hit the beasties directly, so it's out into the garden with flashlight and spray bottle sometime after dark. The good news is you probably only have to spray two or three times over the first couple of weeks to clear things up.
Thinning carrots makes all the difference in their eventual size and shape. Aiming for a final distance of between four and six centimetres, thin carrots gradually as they grow. And since you're down at ground level anyway, why not pull weeds at the same time? Young carrots are delicious cooked whole, while roots approaching full size are a treat pulled, hosed down and munched in the garden. Whereas peas rush past small and sweet to big and starchy, and zucchinis balloon into blimps overnight, carrots store themselves in the ground until you're ready for them. Colour is a good mark of maturity: pale roots tend to taste insipid, but the brighter the orange, the more flavourful and nutritious the carrot will be.
Start your carrots early
Early sowing may put carrot seeds into earth that's too cool for good germination. To warm soil, use a floating row cover, a sheer garden fabric (spun polyester) that is draped over a seeded bed and weighed down with handfuls of soil or small rocks. As carrot tops grow, they push against the fabric, causing it to rise and billow lightly overhead. As a bonus, floating row covers keep out the carrot rust fly, a potentially serious pest whose burrowing larvae tunnel into carrot roots, leaving rust-coloured fissures in their wake. You'll still have to check under the cloth for earwig damage and pull it aside when (or if) the time comes to spray.

This volume traces the United Nations use of force in peace and security, from collective security-which it never really was-to intervention with responsibility to protect (RTP) as a key criterion for authorization of the use of force. It reads like a personal stocktaking of the author's decade with the United Nations, but more than that it is a closely argued and informative account of the major issues at and the systemic development of the Organization over that same period, coincidentally with Kofi Annan's tenure as UN Secretary-General.
Ramesh Thakur is prolific and his interests wide. He has written about 20 UN-related books and many academic articles, including a stream of newspaper articles and op-eds for international audiences published in, among others, the International Herald Tribune, The Hindu and The Japan Times. His final op-ed as a UN official, in The Hindu (3 March 2007), advocated the reciprocal exchange of columns by the major newspapers of the East and West to offset a perceived cultural imbalance in the latter's favour. In his new guise, he wrote in The Canberra Times (23 March 2007) on domestic Australian politics. Thakur made a start in his adventure with the United Nations in April 1998, becoming Vice-Rector of the United Nations University in Tokyo (later as Senior Vice-Rector in 2003). He has been an International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty (ICISS) Commissioner, producing The Responsibility to Protect report in December 2001,1 and the principal writer of UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan's second reform report in September 2002.2 His hope of becoming Rector unfulfilled, he is now a Distinguished Fellow at the Centre for International Governance Innovation and professor of political science at the University of Waterloo, Ontario.
The book under review is a new creation only in part, bringing together some chapters already published and revisions (all acknowledged). We have here a semi-valedictory pause, as the author's writing continues, summing up as "in part ... dispassionate analysis, in part intellectual reflections, in part a personal memoir ...[which] reflects ... personal and professional identity at the intersection of West and East, North and South, and of international relations scholarship and the international policy community." Thakur's method is to set out the aims and conclusions of each chapter, taking us through the arguments and presentations methodically. He draws on a wide range of academic and media sources, all usefully footnoted. The style is sometimes dense, but the personal feeling and experience, the wealth of information and sternly argued positions are neatly balanced between the North of his academic background and the East Asian from instinct, and a sense of global fairness across that divide. The interspersed passages of prescription (on the reasons for terrorism), sermonizing (on impunity) and advocacy (for RTP), and praise for the United Nations astonishing and varied global outreach and the excellence of its staff carry the readers along.
Overall, Ramesh sets out five main themes. The central theme-the UN and the international use of force- drawing on especially the 1999 Kosovo war (as a possible precursor for Iraq in 2003). The second defines the distinction and relative importance between and of legality and legitimacy in the activities and decisions of the United Nations and, above all, its Member States. The third is about the United States-United Nations relationship, not least seen through the deployment of force and the extent to which this should lie in the hands of the UN Security Council. Then he examines the shape and form of debate within the Organization in the context of relations between States essentially in the industrial North and developing South. The final theme is the importance of the rule of law.
Thakur applauds Mr. Annan's tenure of office, but not without critical comment of individual aspects of the UN operations, from peacekeeping to human rights, its specialized agencies and its own internal housekeeping and organization, including reform, pursuing corruption and the selection and appointment process of senior officials. He deplores the underachievement of Asians in the UN system. Ban Ki-moon was not on board yet as UN Secretary-General when Thakur made the latest updates in the book in September 2005, but some aspects of Mr. Annan's reform legacy, such as the Peacebuilding Commission and the Human Rights Council, were in the early stages of institutional development. This is in line with the author's view that the UN needs to achieve more than mere survival. He supports the reform and in some ways stands closer to the school that says the UN survival has stemmed from its being able to adapt rather than reform radically. But he maintains that the UN should not try to do everything, but rather do what it does best more effectively. The political role of the Secretary-General, whose office is neatly defined as "one with little power but considerable influence", is vital.
Many of Thakur's conclusions are interlinked. The decision to use force effectively is tied closely to its legitimacy and effective mandates. His thinking has been shaped by ICISS and RTP and the thesis of holding a Government to be more responsible towards the human rights of its citizens and humanitarian issues. He can be fiercely critical of the rules and regulations that could and should be followed to keep within legal boundaries of morals. He grasps that the realism of circumstances makes their following not always attainable. At the centre of his sights in the last decade, he has the United States role in mind. In other words, there is a smooth move from use of force to legality and legitimacy which if, in the context of the invasion of Iraq, certain political links with the UN had been retained, the UN standing would have emerged less damaged.
The troubled North-South dialogue and strains come out most in political infighting, and relations are perhaps more bitter now than ever. The perceived historical context is of the North as having set the UN intellectual agenda, guidance and structures. As a result, the South feels, with apartheid and decolonization in the past, still left behind in trade, debts and peacekeeping and terms of democracy and human rights. Thakur presents a view not wholly in support of the South, but definitely arguing that their interests must be further pursued and followed.
Finally, he emphasizes that it is the rule of law that perhaps underlines the authority of the United Nations and is at the heart of its standing as a universally acting legal entity. The UN, he writes, "lies at the centre and indeed symbolizes the rules-based order". The South's view of where the Security Council guidance lies, for example, differ considerably from what the North sees as its purpose. The result is often a fractured confusion with the five permanent members of the Security Council at the heart of negotiations and where the United States tries to be paramount. Thakur castigates the United States exceptional approach, the Organization's major paymaster and marvels at its fall from grace and sympathy post 9/11. But the realism is there, as he traces the centrality of United States multilateralism in the UN, from which it has gradually retreated, but acknowledges that the both of them, in peacekeeping in all its forms, depend much on how much they need each other. Iraq was a crucial illustration of this point.
In his first article for the UN Chronicle in 1999,3 Thakur wrote about the different attitudes of romantics, cynics and idealists towards the United Nations. He drew on but did not quote directly the Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold's remark about the UN being an organization "not created in order to bring us heaven, but in order to save us from hell."4 As his last words in this book, Thakur quotes the original, adding that "the concept of hell is incomplete without the concept of heaven". His position has rarely been close to cynicism and, while some romanticism lingers, he has reached a crossroad of ideals and critical reality. It is a formidably strong and personal account of the United Nations evolution in the last decade or so. It is at the same time a sternly structured compilation and practical source.

Vladimir Putin's dreams of glory at the Sochi Winter Olympics are drowning in a sea of online satire poking fun at everything from the toilets to threats of a bomb attack.
The Twitter account @SochiProblems, with comments on issues ranging from supposed spray-painting of the grass to signs banning fishing in the toilets in Sochi, is vying for attention with official feeds from the Russian organisers.
The Internet is also full of jokes drawing on a wealth of material - reports of corruption around the Games, the Russian president's stance on gay rights and widely circulated photos from the Games facilities showing two toilets in one cubicle.
One post shows a drawing of five coloured toilet seats in the shape of the five interlocking rings of the Olympic Games symbol. In a play on words, it says Srochi 2014 underneath - which roughly translates as Crap 2014.
Three days after it was set up, @SochiProblems has 190,000 followers.
That is not good news for Putin as he tries to use the Games to enhance Russia's image and show the progress it has made since the end of the Soviet Union in 1991.
A cartoon on Facebook shows a worried Putin running with an Olympic torch which, instead of a flame, has a burning fuse as if it were a bomb.
One tweet declares: "Putin has personally guaranteed security for sexual minorities during the Olympic Games in Sochi." Attached is a cartoon of a ski jumper in mid-air with skis in the colours of the rainbow Gay Pride flag, surrounded by four security guards also in mid-air, pointing their rifles.
Despite Olympic chiefs' high praise for Russia's Games preparations, Moscow and Putin have attracted mostly negative publicity abroad on everything from unfinished Sochi hotels to reports that stray dogs are being poisoned in the host city.
Although he won a third term as president in an election in March 2012, Putin is a constant target on the Internet for Russians who are fed up with his 14-year domination of the country as president or prime minister.
Mocking the threat posed by Islamist militants who have warned of an attack on the Games, one photoshopped picture shows what looks like a group of bearded men in camouflage posing with the silver-and-red Olympic torches.
Putin has dismissed talk of widespread corruption around the Games. But a popular online joke plays on the accusations that some of the funding for the Games has been

yep and at the start I was a little hmmmmm about it but then I realised that 20% is probably the absolute minimum tip that people consider at v&a. I suspect if you tipped less than 20 they really would come over and ask what was wrong (in a very polite and well meaning way).Originally Posted by Johnie, post: 108956
sooooo given that many people will assume that whatever's been put on the bill is what is expected, their tip level probably really would have gone down artificially.
So I can understand it.
Still don't agree with the practice of the enforced tip but still

This year's Toronto International Film Festival documentary world premieres include works by Penn & Teller, artist Chris Jordan, Jehane Noujaim and Leanne Pooley; and North American premieres by directors Errol Morris, Frederick Wiseman, Marcel Ophuls and Claude Lanzmann. (Full line-up is below.)
Among the world premieres that programmer Thom Powers believes will pop for audiences is Chris Jordan's visually striking, almost wordless "Midway." Known in the art world, the photographer is making his feature film debut. He's been filming albatrosses on the Pacific Ocean's remote Midway Island, 2000 miles from any continent. But the danger to birds is the consumption of plastics that float up on shore, says Powers. "We've seen photographs of decomposing albatrosses with stomachs full of plastic bottle caps." (Jordan's heart-tugging short that has more than 10 million YouTube views is posted below, along with his Ted Talk.) (Backed by Impact Partners' Dan Cogan, the film is repped by WME.)
Another sales title is Allison Berg and Frank Keraudren's "The Dog," about the real life bank robber played by Al Pacino in "Dog Day Afternoon." Powers loaned the filmmakers his camera ten years ago, three years before he started working at TIFF. "To call John Wojtowicz a larger-than-life character is an understatement," he says. "He was a figure in the early gay rights movement in the late 60s and 70s in NY, and a profane character, a libertine. This portrait of him ranks among the unforgettable characters in the documentary genre. The film draws from a rich reservoir of footage." (Josh Braun of Submarine is repping the film.)
Just acquired by Sony Pictures Classics is "Tim's Vermeer," one of several films focused on obsessive characters in this year's lineup. Magicians Penn & Teller have been working on this doc; director Teller has been following the story for over a year, says Powers, about "Tim Jenison's painstaking attempts to recreate the Vermeer painting 'The Music Lesson.'" Theories have been put forward by David Hockney ("Secret Knowledge") and Philip Steadman ("Vermeer's Camera") about how they think Vermeer went about creating photorealistic paintings without photography. Jenison, the inventor and computer graphics whiz who founded New Tek, while addressing their theories, also came up with his own and put them forward in an experiment.
Also about obsession are the passions of the Belarus Free Theater in "Unstable Elements," says Powers, as they go up against the Russian dictatorship in their contract fight.
And obsessive Errol Morris interrogates Donald Rumsfeld in "The Unknown Known." "This film is almost like a verbal dueling match between Morris and Rumsfeld," says Powers, "who is not a man easily pinned down, and Morris is not a man who easily gives up." Meanwhile Frank Pavich looks at obsessive filmmaker "Jodorowsky's 'Dune.'"
Young filmmaker John Maloof, 31, with "Finding Vivian Maier," teams up with amateur historian Charlie Siskel, who acquired an historic box of photos at a storage auction. "He was fascinated by the quality of the photos," says Powers, "and in his sleuthing found the woman who took them and uncovers one of the most extraordinary collections of street photography by a then unknown photographer."
This year also sees films from a cluster of elder statesmen octogenarians: Frederick Wiseman tackles sprawling institution U.C. Berkeley with "At Berkeley"; Marcel Ophuls offers a memoir, "Ain't Misbehavin'" that includes material on his father Max; and Claude Lanzmann's five-hour "The Last of the Unjust," which showed to largely critics and programmers at Cannes. Now the Toronto public will see it, says Powers.
For his part prolific film historian Mark Cousins' entry "A Story of Children and Film" clocks in at a mere 100 minutes.
See the full list below. More to come; TIFF still has further docs to announce, in the Mavericks conversation section due to be revealed on Aug 13; as well as a sprinkling in other sections.

First up, lets take a look at the Virtual Console offerings on Wii U. Super Mario Bros. 2 finally joins the roster, letting players take control of Mario, Luigi, the Princess and Toad in a platforming adventure to save the world of dreams. Or was the game itself all a dream Mario was having? Its been like 20 years since Ive beaten the game, so you cant fault me for being fuzzy on the details. Either way, the game will be marked down to 50 percent off through 9 a.m. PT on May 23.
Another pair of sidescrolling adventure games also join the Virtual Console this week for Wii U, including Super Ghouls n Ghosts and the infinitely amazing, Super Metroid. You can pick up that loast one for just 30 cents for a limited time, too.
On over to the Wii U eShop and gamers can download a pair of new titles, as well as take advantage of a sale on Bit.Trip Runner 2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien for 25 percent off through May 30. If an endless runner isnt your cup-o-tee, then perhaps you will enjoy digital versions of Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes or Resident Evil: Revelations.
If youre gaming on the 3DS, Swords and Soldier 3D joins the list of games on the eShop this week, letting players control an entire army in a side-scrolling, real-time strategy adventure.

text: Enterprise trains to get £12m upgrade 14 Feb 2014 The Enterprise cross-border rail service is to get a major multi-million pound upgrade, it has been revealed. Share Share Share Story by UTV Staff, Belfast Around £12m is to be spent refurbishing the four trains which operate between Belfast and Dublin.The trains will get new interiors, better access and a new booking system in order to improve the overall service.The overhaul, funded by cash originally intended for the Narrow Water bridge project, is expected to begin later this year.The trains are over 16 years old and have not had the same injection of funding as local services.Stormont Transport Minister Danny Kennedy says his department is in the final stages of signing off the money.He said: "This will mean a complete internal refurb for the enterprise service."It will improve the travelling facilities for the increasing number of passengers who use it."While Translink and Irish rail operator, Iarnród Éireann, are putting up some funding, most of the money for the upgrade is coming from Europe and has been directed from the collapsed Narrow Water bridge project in Warrenpoint.It is hoped the project will allow the train service to continue for the next 10 years.Translink says it is hoping the investment will bring in new customers.Catherine Mason, Translink chief executive said: "We anticipate a substantial passenger growth on the back of it and we have a lot of people who already use the service regularly and we believe that this will attract new people."Much as our other enhancements have attracted people to the service, so we imagine that it will grow quite substantially." © UTV Share Share Share
