To the Editor:—
The April 27 issue, page 1671, comments on the labeling of vitamin-containing alcoholic beverages. It is undoubtedly a bad thing that the public should be misled with regard to vitamins in beverages or foods. On account of the publicity that vitamins have received, the public undoubtedly has a general idea that anything that contains vitamins must therefore be desirable.I do not think, however, that one can defend a ruling which states that a label on a beverage or anything else should not contain truthful information concerning that material. It would certainly be proper to make a ruling forcing the manufacturer to put on the label the actual quantity of vitamins present, and it would be proper to prevent the appearance on the label of any misleading therapeutic claims.It appears to me that this is an example of the paternalistic tendency of government bureaus. It is

News Seattle Lawyer Files Complaint With FBI Over Ken Hutcherson's Claim that He Is a U.S. "Special Envoy"
posted by March 20 at 12:00 PMon
Dave Coffman, a gay attorney in Seattle, tells me he has filed a complaint with the Seattle office of the FBI requesting that it investigate whether Pastor Ken Hutcherson violated this federal law by claiming to be a White House "Special Envoy" in Latvia when, according to the White House, Hutcherson was never given any such designation.
I just spoke with Special Agent Fred Gutt of the Seattle FBI office. He said his office doesn't comment on complaints unless they result in criminal charges. However, he spoke with me about section 912 of the federal criminal code:
"There are various federal laws regarding false impersonations that we do investigate, 912 being one of them," Gutt told me. "That certainly would fall under our purview… This statute, if someone decided to represent themselves as a representative of the White House, could be pertinent."
An excerpt from Coffman's complaint is in the jump…
Attn: Duty Officer
As per our conversation earlier this afternoon, these are a couple of the documents I have spoken about regarding Mr. Hutcherson's claim that he is representing the United States in a foreign country as a "Special Envoy" of the White House/United States, along with the spokesperson of the White House asserting no such title was given nor was any authorization for Mr. Hutcherson to assert to foreign officials or others that he represents the interests of the United States. According to press statements, the press officials with the White House deny they accredited Mr. Hutcherson with status as a Special Envoy to Latvia. Mr. Hutcherson continues to maintain publicly that he was accorded such status. I am concerned that such representations are contrary to US law under 18 USC 912 and possibly other statutes if Mr. Hutcherson was engaged in corollary activity such as providing documents showing he was such an envoy...

Hornets fall to Suns, 92-75
Published: Monday, April 2, 2012 at 10:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, April 2, 2012 at 10:33 a.m.
PHOENIX — Jared Dudley scored 15 of his 21 points in the second half and the Phoenix Suns beat the weary New Orleans Hornets 92-75 on Sunday night.
Shannon Brown, starting for injured Grant Hill, added 16 for Phoenix. Channing Frye had 14 points and 11 rebounds, Marcin Gortat scored 13 and Steve Nash handed out 14 assists for the Suns, who climbed back to .500 and are 1 1/2 games behind Houston for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference.
Jason Smith and Marco Belinelli scored 14 apiece for the Hornets. Jarrett Jack added 13.
The Hornets, finishing off a five-game road trip, became the third team in the NBA and first in the West to lose 40 games.

Within M+M we've deployed myriad products to Amazon Web Services, including photos.active.com, advantage.active.com, ihoops.com, mobileapps.active.com, widgets.active.com, realtime.active.com, search.eteamz.com and labs.active.com. We've found that, with each product, we have to run through the same checklist of items to ensure continual up-time. Some of these items are related to application architecture, while others are related to infrastructure:
Cloud Checklist
- Caching - Serving pre-compiled content is always the best way to reduce I/O and have a fast website. Memcached and Apache's mod_cache are frameworks we commonly use.
- Load Balance Across Availability Zones -- AWS has a 99.95% uptime SLA, but only if applications are deployed across multiple availability zones. As such, nodes in a pool should run in two or more availability zones. And, as if it needs to be said, applications should be load balanced.
- Data Backup - The cloud doesn't magically solve data retention issues (but it does help). Amazon's RDS offering is a great option when not wanting to deal with setting up backup policies. Otherwise, these must be put in place just like they would in any given data center.
- VIP Monitoring - Like most companies with products in the cloud, we run some of our products in a proprietary data center, and others on Amazon. But our monitoring system acts as a central repository reporting status on all systems. As such, monitoring must be setup on VIPs (i.e. www.ihoops.com) and nodes, with alerting configured should anything act up. Node monitoring is enabled by allowing traffic through from the source ip address of the monitoring system through Amazon's security group configuration.
- CPU and Memory Monitoring - CPU and memory utlization should also be monitored. UDP port 161 should be opened to the monitoring system to record SNMP traps.
- Human Support Process - When something goes wrong, somebody's gotta get paged.

Britney Spears IS A Good MomSassy Smith
Britney Spears has made some questionable decisions in the past, but despite all of that, those close to the 27-year-old pop star insist she IS a good mom.
One more pic after the jump
Britney was accused of grabbing tons of swag from the Teen Choice Awards, leaving sons Sean Preston, 3 1/2, and Jayden James 2 1/2, to wander around by themselves, causing chaos.
But sources say, not true! "She never stopped at one sponsor station. It was all about the kids. She was devoted to them and was with them the whole time. They were even having a great time with Band Hero and they were all playing Hasbro's new Bop-It."
The insider added, "She never left the boys' side. She could not have been sweeter, and portraying her as an inattentive mother is not true and so not fair."
Good to know that Brit Brit is taking care of the kiddies!

Alomar could try the manager's hat on for size
They say "those who can't do, teach". But is it possible for those who can do and have done, to teach? In the case of Roberto Alomar, I certainly hope so.
Listening to Bob McCown speak with Roberto Alomar prior to the Conn Smythe Celebrity Dinner, it sounded like McCown was giving him a screening interview for a coaching position with the Blue Jays.
It turns out the idea of bringing in Roberto Alomar as a coach of some sort isn't so far-fetched. Alomar spoke to the Toronto Sun and said that he'd be open to returning to the Blue Jays as an instructor some time in the future, but not right at this moment.
After the initial honeymoon period with Cito Gaston, I've learned that you shouldn't let emotions from the past cloud the team of the present. Having said that, how cool would it be to have Robbie Alomar as a hitting coach for example?
If not in some sort of coaching capacity, the least the Blue Jays could do is consider letting Roberto Alomar outfit the team with his new clothing line: Second 2 None.
Because there's nothing better than having your insignia remind Dennis Eckersley of the grave mistake he made in Game Four of the 1992 ALCS.

Digestive tract contents collected from carcasses of 82 loggerhead sea turles (Caretta caretta) found on the south Texas coast from 1986 through 1988 were examined. Benthic invertebrates were the predominant prey. Sea pens (Virgularia presbytes), crabs, and mollusks accounted for 94% of the dry weight of the digestive tract samples. Temporal changes in the percent occurrence and percent dry weight of sea pens, crabs, and mollusks in the digestive tract samples were significant. Loggerheads fed primarily on sea pens during spring, then primarily on crabs during summer and fall. The increase of crabs in the loggerhead diet paralleled the annual increase in the abundance of crabs in the Gulf of Mexico. Sea pens were located nearshore at depths of 6 to 12 m and had a disjunct distribution.

A novel continuum model is proposed to describe the deformations of a planar lipid bilayer suspended across a circular pore. The model is derived within a new theoretical framework for smectic A liquid crystals in which the usual director n , which defines the average orientation of the molecules, is not constrained to be normal to the layers. The free energy is defined by considering the elastic splay of the director, the bending and compression of the lipid bilayer, the cost of tilting the director with respect to the layer normal, the surface tension, and the weak anchoring of the director. Variational methods are used to derive the equilibrium equations and boundary conditions. The resulting boundary value problem is then solved numerically to compute the fully nonlinear displacement of the layers and tilt of the lipid molecules. A parametric study shows that an increase in surface tension produces a decrease in the deformation of the lipid bilayers while an opposite effect is obtained when increasing the anchoring strength.

I rented this amazing property for a long ski-weekend. You will not find a more beautiful rental in the Stratton/Manchester area than this home. Well appointed, spacious and super clean. The home and property exceed the expectations you might have based upon the photos. The owner, Jon, could not have been more gracious and hospitable. A truly wonderful large family home in a great location.
Glenn Davis
This home was absolutely beautiful and close to everything! Was clean and just perfect for a winter getaway for us ladies. Looking forward to renting again!
I rented this house for the third year in a row, Thursday through Monday. The house is great, located so close to Manchester center and very spacious. The house has five true bedrooms as well as a huge walk out basement with its own bathroom. The kitchen/family/dining room are huge and great for entertaining, our group loved the open concept. There is also a jacuzzi for post skiing relaxation. The owner, Jon, is a pleasure to work with, he is quick to respond and very organized and professional. I would highly recommend this rental to anyone who is looking to stay in the area. Thanks again for the rental Jon!
My family and I along with close family friends had a wonderful VT getaway in the charming Manchester Village area. This house was spacious, and luxurious with all of the necessities for a wonderful ski vacation. We were close to all of the activities and events that Manchester has to offer for those in our group who don't ski,and a quick 15 minutes to Bromley and Stratton for those who do. The owners are great and very accommodating. Would happily visit again.
We spent Thanksgiving weekend in this beautiful home. There were 10 of us and there was plenty of room. The home is bright, sunny and spacious. The area is breathtaking. We walked the streets around the home daily. Picturesque & peaceful ! A very short drive to Manchester for some Black Friday shopping rounded out the trip. Jon was very responsive to our questions & easy to work with. Great home for a large family gathering! Wishing I was there right now!
This home is spectacular. We rented here for a weekend of golfing, hiking, and fly fishing. It is in a terrific location just a minute or two from the golf course and town. The home is immaculately well kept. The kitchen is great for cooking and the out door BBQ, Terrace, and Hot Tub are a huge plus to this property. The owner Jon was available via email and telephone if I had any questions. We hope to come back to this home next year, for another weekend of fun. Thanks Jon!
Golf: Minutes away from the Equinox Hotel golf course, the Ekwanok Golf Course and the Manchester Golf Courses.
Ski: Just 15 minutes away from the Bromley ski resort, about 30 minutes from the Stratton ski resort and 40 minutes from Magic Mountain ski resort. Great cross country ski resorts nearby, as well.

My wife and I are contemplating buying an older house and wanted to know if some might be able to share some opinions on this. Have any of you purchased an older house? If given the choice to do it again, would you still buy an older house or would you look for a newer house? I think one of the houses we're looking at was built in 1983.
Any tips you can share about what to keep an eye out for based on houses built in the 80s?

We have a 30yr old house and I have to say there are some things that need fixing. Some are aesthetics, others that really do need replacing. If you can buy one where the previous owner already replaced them then all the better if you're not into doing it yourself.
Major things to look into: Windows, roof, furnace, foundation, quality of bathroom/kitchen cabinets and maybe some plumbing.
Barely anything had been updated in our house, just the furnace so we changed the front doors, windows and roof. I'd love to get new cabinets in the kitchen and bathroom and change all the bedroom doors. One of our toilets leak when flushed. But I think we bought a very good solid house.Reply With Quote LOG IN TO THANK No one has yet thanked Coltsfan for this post.

IMO, if well-built, a house from the 80's is actually ideal if you don't mine renovating. There should be no issues with structure, electrical, plumbing, or asbestos.
I would recommend looking for one that still has all the original stuff. You'll save a bit of money because no renos have been done. And you can spend the money you saved to turn it into your dream house. There could still be things like the roof, but part of the cost should get factored into the selling price if it's up for replacement.Reply With Quote LOG IN TO THANK No one has yet thanked WalnutCrunch for this post.

Some are actually better that new structurally; all depends on the builder. I lived in a old house; it had 10" floor joices every 12". Could park a truck in the second floor living room. Versus what, 8" joices every 16" as the code now requires. Wood was cheap.
Of course there were power outlets every 50' it seemed; only 2 in the kitchen. needed a lot of powerbars to 'survive'.Reply With Quote LOG IN TO THANK No one has yet thanked heymike for this post.

I live in a house that was built in the 40s...
It was well maintained by the current, and previous owners. Everything that went wrong has been fixed up nicely by my dad. So i imagine my home would be a good one to buy IF it was on the market.Reply With Quote LOG IN TO THANK No one has yet thanked UrbanPoet for this post.

The house I will be moving into is 75 years old, but for my price range there wasn't many options. That being said older homes are fine depending on when they were built or at least that was the message I got from my home inspector.
According to him, generally houses built during huge booms are usualy worse off because they were in such a hurry to be constructed. I'm not sure which generation of houses is worse though.
Things to watch out for, knob and tube wiring, galvanized pipes among others. Personally I'd get a home inspector in there first just to make sure it wont cost you too much money to renovate. Especially if the people currently living there have been there a long time. They may be insured but when you go to get home insurance you may be denied because something isn't up to code like the wiring or pipeing.
Being that it's only from 83, I hardly doubt that will be problem. That's not really an older home as far as I'm concerned, but clearly I'm no expert._______________

My house is about 30 years old when I moved in, here are the reasons I'd consider buying new/newer:
- Maintenance free exterior. I still have wood doors/wood window trim. This will need painting, and if you had a two storey it'd be a pain.
- Interior is dated. Everything from the interior doors, bathrooms, kitchen, carpet, etc.... Most older houses are dated, and if they aren't, they cost more than a newer one it seems. Even the plug outlets/light switches are dated.
- Landscaping. Keep an eye on the trees/shrubs, because many trees actually have a lifespan (like birch) and may need removal. As well, I typically find in older homes like mine things are typically overgrown as well.
- Creaks. The floor in my home creaks from age and fasteners used. It's simple to fix, if you ever redo the floors
- Old floorplans. Back in the old days everything was closed in, as opposed to now when it's all open.
- Someone else's mistakes. I live with little things, like how the guy who painted the garage door before got a bit of paint on my unistone driveway. The guy who painted the deck that got a little paint on the siding, etc.... If you buy a new house, you're in control of all these things.
- Stipple ceilings. Need I say more?
I know there are more, but those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head. However, there are many potential reasons to buy an older home as well:
- Cheaper, so you can renovate and save in comparison.
- Bigger lots
- Bigger garages
- Basement typically developed (For good or bad, at least it's developed and can be used to rent out, kids play, etc...)
- Better build qualityReply With Quote LOG IN TO THANK No one has yet thanked TrevorK for this post.

My house is built in the 1920's. The previous owner had done all the proper maintenance plus renovated the attic so there are no issues. Just lots of maintenance.
Older houses uses hardwood in its construction. Newer houses uses softwood. Hardwood will outlast softwood. If you are looking at an older house, watch for hardwood being used in structural pieces.
Check the house's mechanicals as well as exterior. For a 20+ year old house, the shingles may need replacement soon (houses typically uses 25 year shingles). Also, check for aluminum wiring. These can be bad. Some insurers won't even insure houses with aluminum wiring.
Check the basement for signs of leaks. Check grading (house should be higher than surrounding land). Check for unexplained bulges in floors and if the basement is unfinished, look at the wood planks above for signs of water damage.
Also, check the age of water heater & furnace. These may be due for replacement soon.
The list goes on and on....Reply With Quote LOG IN TO THANK No one has yet thanked eelfliw for this post.

Our house is now 18 yrs old. When we bought it 5 yrs ago we specifically looked for house in the 15-25 yr old range after living in a 100+ yr old old timber frame farmhouse. We're getting to the point we don't mind the normal maintenance issues or even some renovation but we didn't want to be totally renovating (removing plaster and lath and drywalling a whole house!). We've already replaced the roof and windows and for the most part finished the partially finished basement. Now we're to the point where we do what we "want" to do as there really isn't anything that "needs' to be done....Reply With Quote LOG IN TO THANK No one has yet thanked CSK'sMom for this post.

Thanks for all the tips. It seems like general concensus is that most would buy an older home as long as proper maintenance was done which makes sense. There's definitely a few things mentioned here that I might not have thought to look for. I never thought to look at eras to see how the economy had been doing. Someone brought a valid point about booms potentially allowing builders to be more likely to build an inferior product due to the high demands and low supply of houses. That definitely makes me wonder about newer homes built in the last 7 or 8 years. Not that there won't be good homes but just that there might be just as much if not more to look out for when looking at a house built in the last decade.

I second that point on watching the era. Here the homes built in the 1980's were very bad examples of construction and had a lot of problems (pay attention to the neighbourhoods too because if they were built at the same time there can be issues with the infrastructure...like flooding during heavy rains etc.). Now hopefully those issues would have been fixed by now, but I know people who draw the line at houses built post 1979. If you want to check, just find pre and post 1980 homes where you can still check out the joists and you should see the differences. Also the trims and finishes tend to be lesser woods (if wood at all).

Well, along the lines of booming eras, does anyone know what eras would need more caution for house purchases in the Ottawa region? From what I've heard, anything post-1998 is a bit iffy due to the fairly big boom in the area which has caused the market to shift to a seller's market. Are there any other periods to watch out for in the Ottawa housing market?

Need help in decoding all those acronymns
I just won a Nokia N95 with the BH-801 headset - Yeah for my teen daughter, maybe not so Yeah for my pocketbook! I prefer a straight up cell phone - she loves gadgets..anyways:
I am trying to read everyone's posts about the N95 and it appears that only AT&T will be able to offer us a plan for use of this phone, is that correct?
And what does all those acronyms mean that I see y'all typing? ABCDX, CDPH? Sorry, I can't remember what they are!
If so, does anyone here have any info on what these plans are? I'm assuming that there would be the regular monthly phone/minutes/texting charges but what else would or should I consider "turning on" for this phone? Is there such a...

Nokia 6102 owners- Please guide me the through menu to reach.....
I have a problem.
I have 2(two)- 6102 phones. One I just bought because i cant see a thing on my old screen, its broke completely.
I want/need to switch the sim card from the old to the new, BUT, my numbers have not yet been saved on my sim card of the old phone, and if i switch them, I'll lose it all.
Can anyone who owns a 6102, walk me through, pretending i'm a total "blind" man, to the point of reaching the "use phone and sim card" menu choice, so that I can then save it and exchange the card from one phone to the other.
I know it will be a little time consuming for you to type out, step by step instructions for me to get to that point, starting at which button is the main menu button, through all the steps, and then to a...

Cedric the Entertainer: New Year Cheer!
How the Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? Host Prepares for a Night Rich with Laughter
For Cedric the Entertainer (born Cedric Antonio Kyles), the new year starts with a new tux. "I try to pop for New Year's Eve," says the comedian, 49. "I like colors. This year I'm leaning toward pomegranate or cranberry."
During his annual New Year's Eve stand-up show, "we do make-your-jaw-hurt jokes about what happened this year," says Cedric, who will perform in Atlanta to ring in 2014. "Like Miley Cyrus twerking! That's the biggest."
After the countdown, Cedric lets loose with his wife of 14 years, Lorna Kyles. "We turn up! It's all about letting the music happen and being on the dance floor." The next day, the couple take their kids (son Croix, 13, daughter Lucky Rose, 9, and Tiara, 24, Cedric's daughter from a previous relationship) on a getaway, which helps Cedric with his go-to resolution: "My main thing is I try to be a better guy than the year before and be more present as a father, son and husband."

Exasperated over unsecured student flats, police have taken
to shutting windows and doors to reduce the risk of burglary.
Police had increased patrols in the student quarter, but had
been concerned by the number of returning students who
continued to leave their flats unsecured, Acting Senior
Sergeant Damion Rangitutia said.
In the latest incident, two bikes were taken from an
unsecured property, while earlier this week two people were
stopped by Campus Watch with a television they had removed
from a nearby flat.
Police were concerned to note the number of flats with
windows and doors left open, with no sign of people at the
address, and, in some cases, were taking a proactive approach
by shutting doors and windows of unsecured flats, Acting Snr
Sgt Rangitutia said.
In addition, police were involved in other preventive
measures in the area, such as patrols and advising on flat
security, he said.
A name, residential address, and (preferably residential) telephone number is required from readers who comment on ODT Online. These details will not be visible to site visitors.
Students are at that age they can leave home, vote and
legally buy alcohol - surely some self-responsibility comes
into the equation with regard to their own property. Such a
careless - I mean, carefree - generation.

Conn. town residents urge stricter gun control
Associated Press
NEWTOWN, Conn. (AP) – One after another, Newtown residents stepped to the microphone and urged Connecticut lawmakers to stop another tragedy like the deadly shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School and take action, such as banning high-powered, military style rifles and high-capacity magazines.
While a General Assembly bipartisan task force heard Wednesday from some residents concerned about their Second Amendment rights, the vast majority of the several hundred people who turned out for the public hearing _ including parents of children killed at Sandy Hook and local officials _ appeared to support greater gun control.
"Make this the time that change happens. Don't give up because it's too hard or too difficult. Make a promise to honor the lives lost at Sandy Hook and elsewhere in America by turning this tragedy into the moment of transformation that benefits us all," said Nicole Hockley. Her 6-year-old son, Dylan, was among those killed by 20-year-old Adam Lanza, who fatally shot his mother in their home before driving to the school to carry out the massacre before killing himself.
Jennifer Killin, a Newtown mother, said there's a national misperception that Newtown residents want to repeal the Second Amendment. Rather, she said, Newtown residents want to protect people's rights while also protecting children and their safety.
"It's in everyone's best interest to work together," she said, receiving loud applause from the crowd.
Bill Sherlach, whose wife, Mary, a school psychologist, died in the rampage, said he respects the Second Amendment but it was written in a long-ago era where armaments were different.
"I have no idea how long it took to reload and refire a musket," he said. "I do know that the number of shots fired in the Sandy Hook Elementary School in those few short minutes is almost incomprehensible, even in today's modern age."
Wednesday's hearing was in sharp contrast to a legislative subcommittee hearing held Monday at the Legislative Office Building in Hartford on gun laws, which lasted hours into the night and attracted hundreds of gun rights activists statewide. Many in the crowd at the Newtown High School auditorium, the site where President Barack Obama addressed residents after the shooting, wore stickers urging gun law changes.
Many voiced support for more background checks, annual gun permit renewals and increased availability of mental health services.
Michael Majeski of Newtown called it a "kneejerk reaction" to the shooting by focusing on gun laws. Rather, he said, they need to address mental illness, pointing out how the state has closed a nearby psychiatric hospital.
"If there is any commonsense or wisdom among the members of this committee, I would humbly ask you to focus on the underlying causes of these murders and not these symptoms," he said.
David Wheeler, whose 6-year-old son, Benjamin, was killed at Sandy Hook, said a more comprehensive system of identifying and monitoring individuals with mental distress needs to be created.
"That a person with these problems could live in a home where he had access to among the most powerful firearms available to non-military personnel is unacceptable," he said. "It doesn't matter to whom these weapons were registered. It doesn't matter if they were purchased legally. What matters is that it was far too easy for another mentally unbalanced, suicidal person who had violent obsessions to have easy access to unreasonably powerful weapons."
But Newtown resident Casey Khan warned that further restrictions on gun rights leave "good and lawful citizens at risk."
The public hearing was organized by the General Assembly's task force on gun violence prevention and children's safety. Lawmakers hope to vote on a package of new measures around the end of February.
One mother spoke of how her daughter survived the shooting.
Susie Ehrens said her daughter, Emma, escaped from Sandy Hook with a group of other first-graders when the shooter paused. She said Emma saw her friends and teacher slaughtered before she ran past lifeless bodies and half a mile down the road.
"The fact that my daughter survived and others didn't haunts me. That a spot where they were standing at that moment decided their fate that day, when evil (that) could have been stopped walked into their classrooms," Ehrens said.
Mary Ann Jacob, a Sandy Hook teacher, recalled hearing "hundreds of hundreds of gunshots that seemed to last forever" and crawling across the floor with 18 children to hide from the shooter.
Some in the audience didn't testify but said they felt it was important to attend.
Trish Keil and her twin sister, Helen Malyszka, two music teachers in Sandy Hook who knew many of the slain children, said they believe the tragedy will lead to change and won't be forgotten. Both support more gun control measures.
"I think it happened in Newtown for a reason, and I think there is going to be major change because Newtown will not stand by and let this go," Keil said. "This is just, it's too horrific. When it's starting to affect our children, something has to be done and it's going to change."

To the Editor:
—The location is of much less interest than the character of The Journal. The members of Congress are very careful about their journal. It is a record of their doings. It is a photograph, so to speak, of each individual as well as the whole. A journal goes into history as the exponent of this or that body of men. Now, Sir, I submit that all this squabble about location, will not appear upon the page of history as reflecting a very bright halo of glory from the A. M. A. Therefore, I move the previous question. Let us have no more of it.Milton, Ky., March 12, 1891.

Australian reporting requirements for native vegetation require improved spatial and temporal information on the anthropogenic effects on vegetation. This includes better linkage of information on vegetation type (e.g., native vegetation association), extent and change, vegetation condition, or modification. The Vegetation Assets, States and Transitions (VAST) framework is presented as a means for ordering vegetation by degree of anthropogenic modification as a series of condition states, from a residual or base-line condition through to total removal. The VAST framework facilitates mapping and accounting for change and trends in the status and condition of vegetation. The framework makes clear the links between land management and vegetation condition states, provides a mechanism for describing the consequences of land management practices on vegetation condition, and contributes to an understanding of resilience. VAST is a simple communication and reporting tool designed to assist in describing and accounting for anthropogenic modification of vegetation. A benchmark is identified for each vegetation association. Benchmarks are based on structure, composition, and current regenerative capacity. This article describes the application of the VAST framework as a consistent national framework to translate and compile existing mapped information on the modification of native vegetation. We discuss the correspondence between these compiled VAST datasets at national and regional scales and describe their relevance for natural resource policy and planning.

Hepatitis B Virus Tests
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) tests check for substances in the blood that show whether a hepatitis B infection is active or has occurred in the past. The tests look for different signs of infection (markers):
- Antigens are markers made by bacteria or viruses. So the presence of HBV antigens means that the virus is in the body.
- Antibodies are proteins produced by the body to fight infection. The presence of HBV antibodies means that you have been exposed to the hepatitis B virus at some time. But you could have been infected long ago and gotten better, or you may have a current infection.

The Dutch chapter of Christians for Israel has invested just over $30,000 to make a 36-feet-tall Star of David topped with a menorah – the nine-candle symbol of the Jewish holiday of Hannukah – which it claims will be Europe's largest menorah, to show solidarity with the Jewish community in what they believe to be the End Times.
Christians for Israel established the menorah "to show to the Jewish community in Israel and worldwide that they have friends who are praying for the restoration of Israel," Sara Van Oordt, the organization's head of communication & activities, told The Christian Post in an interview on Tuesday. She also added that current events are signs in scripture "that the Messiah will soon come – that Jesus will come again."
"For two thousand years, there hasn't been the state of Israel, and now everything is coming to fulfillment," Van Oordt added. "I really believe that this is one of the signs of the End Times." more >>

A mining company based in Pennsylvania has been sued by an employee who claims that the biometric hand scanners used by the business was the "Mark of the Beast" described in the book of Revelation.
Late last month the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) filed suit on behalf of an employee of CONSOL Energy and Consolidation Coal Company of Canonsburg.
Beverly R. Butcher Jr., a longtime employee with CONSOL and self-professed evangelical Christian, alleges that the recently installed biometric hand scanners at work prompted him to retire. more >>
Nicolas Cage, star of such films as "National Treasure," "Adaptation" and "Face/Off," was photographed on the set of the new "Left Behind" movie in which he portrays Captain Rayford Steele — and the award-winning actor was not only caught on the set in character, but also goofing around.
Cage, reprising the role played by Brad Johnson in the previous "Left Behind" movies, was caught in the cockpit looking very dramatic:

Much of the inspiration for the FOX network's new show "Sleepy Hollow," a modern-day police drama twist on the classic short story by Washington Irving, was drawn from the Bible, specifically the Book of Revelation and end times, the show's producers said in a recent interview.
Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, executive producers of "Sleepy Hollow," said in a recent interview that they took the plot of the original "Sleepy Hollow" short story and added biblical themes to create their drama adaptation for the FOX network.
The original "Legend of Sleepy Hollow" was written by American writer Washington Irving in 1820 and follows the protagonist Ichabod Crane, a Connecticut school master who is seeking the hand of Katrina Van Tassel, the daughter of a wealthy farmer in rural New York, in marriage. Crane, who is in competition with Abraham Van Brunt for Van Tassel's hand, is eventually scared out of town by a headless horseman ghost riding in the night. more >>
The question of whether or not the current events taking place in Syria are connected to the End Times is a "legitimate question," says an author and expert on the Middle East and End Times prophecy.
Joel C. Rosenberg, New York Times bestselling author of books such as The Last Days and Epicenter, and founder of the pro-Israel The Joshua Fund, told The Christian Post that such speculations should be taken with caution, but are legitimate ponderings. "I think we have to be very careful not to overreach or to sensationalize a terrible situation that's happening to real people right now and to draw a conclusion too quickly," said Rosenberg. "That being said, the prophecies of Isaiah 17 and Jeremiah 49 are very important. They speak to the utter destruction and judgment of the city of Damascus at some point in the End Times future."
Rosenberg, whose bestselling novels often feature end times themes, also told CP that "these prophecies have never been fulfilled in history so far." more >>

Mitt Romney's Mormon story
Our take: As the attacks against Mitt Romney are moving away from his economic policy to his character, it would seem to be time for him to elaborate more on his convictions to the Mormon religion. The fear of discussing Romney's religion and its oddities might also be shadowing a greater understanding of his true devotion and philanthropic character. This column by Ross Douthat for The New York Times discusses how there is a need for Romney to share more about his religious convictions to help voters understand him better.
"There's an interesting dilemma facing the filmmakers who are presumably hard at work, in some well-hidden editing room, on the biographical movie that will play just before Mitt Romney accepts his party's nomination: What should the movie say about Romney's Mormonism?
"So far, Romney has said very little about his faith in this campaign, which is clearly how he likes it. Indeed, his campaign has pushed back vigorously against even innocuous press coverage of Mormon folkways and beliefs, on the theory that trying to explain a much-distrusted, much-misunderstood religion could only distract from the economic message."

Pupils from Hampden School were last week issued with The
Hampden School Safe Walking and Cycling Guide, which
indicated suggested routes to the beach and recommended
crossing points on the state highway, based on visibility in
both directions.
Waitaki District Council road safety co-ordinator Elton Crane
said the project, which also issued pupils with a
high-visibility backpack cover, came after Hampden School
voiced concerns about the 60kmh State Highway just 200m from
the school.
Mr Crane said copies of the maps, which had been put together
by the Waitaki District Council and Sport Waitaki, were sent
home with each pupil. Laminated copies had been placed around
Mr Crane said it was hoped the whole town would take note.
''If the whole community is aware of this guide then the
safety of the local children will be enhanced."
Given that little cost was associated with the campaign, it
could be used by other schools, if it was needed, he said.
''It's done in other parts of New Zealand, but if other
schools think it would be a great idea for their school than
they should get in contact with us. It's good for the rural
schools, in particular."
Sport Waitaki co-ordinator Kate Cartwright said the safety
programme, which was supported by police, was a good way to
educate children in rural locations about ''real issues''.

ADKOR…A Different Kind of Realty: This certainly is not just a slogan or advertisement…it's a fact! In my combined 30-year career with the military and Federal Government I've relocated about 14 times and have never employed the services of a realtor. When contacting ADKOR I didn't know what to expect, but what I uncovered is a company with staff that are honest, professional, organized, punctual, conducts research and has answers for all questions, responsive and follows up, discerning, patient, friendly and courteous, flexible and goes the extra mile. I had a short-fused PCS from Michigan to Austin, TX. By short-fused I mean three weeks to schedule shipment of my household goods, my privately-owned vehicle and to arrange for a flight and rental car. Well as fate would have it, this turned out to be most disastrous move ever. Everything that 'COULD' go wrong 'DID' go wrong…from a bedbug infestation at the Extended Stay Deluxe (Austin Metro) to having my vehicle damaged by ReloTrans, 6-75 Truck & Auto Repair Inc., or Six Nations Transport Inc. (All three had some involvement in transporting my vehicle, but neither would accept responsibility for the damage.) My encounter with Ashley Messer of ADKOR is the only aspect of my move that 'DIDN'T' go wrong. I was referred to Ashley prior to my departure from Michigan. [Side note: The referral came from one of my soon-to-be co-workers who had also recently relocated to Austin and had made contact with three other realty companies for which she labeled as "pathetic."] I called Ashley right away, and by the next day she had already sent up a search criterion with my preferences for which I started receiving daily email messages with a listing of available properties. I was able to view the properties online, make notes regarding each and assign them to my list of 'possibilities'. By the time I arrived in Austin I already had a list of potential homes to view. Based upon my online comments as well as her in-depth knowledge of the properties, Ashley knew exactly which homes would withstand my intense scrutiny and satisfy my picky taste. [I'm one of those 'look behind the refrigerator and under the top surface of the stove because I refuse to live atop of someone else's filth' kind of people.] On my third day in the city I was already out looking for my future residence. Altogether, Ashley took me out on four showings where I viewed 30 homes, and each time she was just as nice as on the previous outing. In a nutshell, my experience with Ashley Messer of ADKOR was extremely pleasant. If I decide to remain in Austin and to ultimately purchase a home, ADKOR will definitely be the realtor I choose. With that said, I can guarantee you that ADKOR will provide the same superb service that I received…because that's just who they are!!!

My husband and I recently purchased our first home in Central Austin; and it could not have been possible without the help of Mark Strub and his team at Strub Residential. We started looking at the housing market in Austin, when my husband was made Associate Professor at UT, Austin; and we had pretty much a few months to plan and execute our move. Since we were moving from overseas, we talked to as many real estate agents as possible on the phone, prior to our first visit to the area for "house hunting." Already from our first phone conversation, Mark Strub stood apart from other "highly reviewed agents" in the area, such as Eric Bramlett. Mark was funny, likable, and a genuinely good person. He was not just "doing business;" he took the time to get to know us and our unique preferences, before setting us up with our own MLS search page for potential listings. As first time homebuyers, we had a lot of questions about everything; and there was not a single question that Mark did not know the answer to. He was always available and extremely proactive with all of his communication. He also seemed to have a really good handle on listings, sending us emails about places that were going to come on the market before they even did and keeping us ahead of the game. When the time came for our three day house hunting trip to Austin, Mark went out of his way to be available anytime we wanted to look at places, day or night. Once we narrowed down our search to a particular community, Central Austin, Mark not only scheduled for us to see all the available houses in that area, but also the schools, as this was our top priority as parents of three school aged children. When we found our "dream home;" Mark was incredibly helpful in bargaining with the seller and getting us the price that we were comfortable paying. At our closing, he was the first one to congratulate us. By that time, he had became somewhat of a "family friend." He is certainly much more than our "broker." Over the past three months, we have taken Mark's expert opinion on things ranging from "types of roofing materials" to "what to do in Austin with kids on weekends." Mark is now helping us renovate our new house using the amazing connections that he has in Austin. He literally knows anyone and everyone in the real estate market: arborists, inspectors, electricians, contractors- you name it, and Mark can get you in contact with them! In short, Mark Strub is the best realtor you can ask for. He will get you your dream house and not stop until you are 100 percent happy with everything! I would definitely go to Mark again for anything related to real estate in Austin.
Review feedback Real McCoy As most mothers do, I looked forward to the wedding of my daughter with great anticipation. We are members of a private club which allowed us use of their ballroom for her wedding. However, having never taken on such an affair, I naturally became overwhelmed as the date neared. We participated in a few 'tastings' offered by local restaurants and caterers. After tasting so many versions of "rubber chicken" I knew we needed to find something much better! In my search for something better, I came upon a website with absolutely beautiful and artistically presented food. The photo showed a large filet mignon covered with a prawn next to fresh asparagus and a stuffed mushroom. Wow! This is more like it! I sent a message for more information with trepidation. Surely these photos would prove to be taken under 'artistic license' with disappointment headed in my direction. My trepidation dissolved once I spoke with and later met the very charismatic, Chef Lavell! Chef Lavell listened to my needs and produced exactly what I was seeking. Not only would Chef Lavell produce art, that art would taste like the best meal ever eaten. His attitude and professional self confidence filled me with glee. We had 100 guests and 100 people raving about the meal enjoyed by all at the wedding. To serve that many filet mignon dinners with such grace and quality is a miracle of creation. Magically, all guests were served simultaneously to perfection. Each and every guest felt as though this magnificent meal was made just for them. Chef LaVell promised he would bring professionally trained wait staff and bartenders. He did not disappoint. The attire of his staff complemented the formal atmosphere of our wedding party and guests. The grace of serving our guest rivaled the finest restaurants anywhere in the world. If you want your guests complementing the food weeks after the affair, hire The Real McCoy! You will not find a better caterer in Texas! Chef Lavell is a rock star! He is the real deal. I am so happy to have found this gem of a chef before he became so famous. I am looking forward to his new book sharing so many of his secret recipes! Any affair in our family's future will be created by Chef Lavell.
