text: Aridas Sofia, I can't tell you how grateful I am that you addressed this issue, since I assume that's what the moral majority is thinking, too, and you've just provided me with a good reason to elaborate and reply. First of all, let me state honestly that I think Franz Joseph Schnaubelt was a great guy. With his pipe and beard he reminds me a lot of a gentle giant (like Santa Claus or a fairy-tale teller which doesn't seem to be entirely inappropriate in this context). Thanks to the Trekplace archives (www.trekplace.com) we have authentic, undisputed original interviews with the man who, by his very own admission, was not a fan of Star Trek and preferred "Lost in Space". Therefore, I'm simpling quoting facts, nothing more nothing less and if you have a problem with that, I'm sorry. He himself never claimed to be a Star Trek expert or even a fan. But apparently fandom has made him into some kind of Star Trek Saint. If his spirit is still following the debates about his work I'm confident, he'd be thinking "Guys, you take it way more seriously than I had ever intended it to be" and he'd be tempted to add a couple of quotes from Bill Shatner and Leonard Nimoy... Regarding the amount of knowledge he did or did not have, we can just take a look at a book like his Technical Manual which I consider to be rather self-explanatory, given the many discrepancies between what we saw in the series and how it got reproduced in this book. To cut a long story short: I've no issues whatsoever with Mr. Schnaubelt, but the way fandom has adopted his work as gospel at the expense of what's actually on the show: In one of the threads somebody mentioned that Kirk's cabin in "Mudd's Women" couldn't possibly be on Deck 12 and that the producers / creators "didn't know what they were doing". Obviously this was a result of Franz Joseph's (unintended) conditioning that there'd only be a Deck 12 in the neck dorsal... When conjectural "canon" gets a higher ranking than what's actually in the original series (or could be concluded applying simple logic), there must (still) be something terribly wrong with the current state of treknological TOS research. Again, the reproductions that made it into the Technical Manual are self-explanatory to determine "how" extreme (accurate?) these fans actually were. And what was on these countless film clips? Apparently no scene with a type II phaser or an actor in a commodore uniform... We don't know the full story behind he publications, but it's the final result that speaks for itself and reveals how accurate it is or not. Hmm...looks like you are completely unaware of what I've been actually doing since last November: http://www.trekbbs.com/showthread.php?t=195496 Since I'm doing these drafts with paper copies (something that could have been done already in 1973) of the original studio sets (available from Lincoln Enterprises in the 1970's) your criticism is apparently missing its target. And as a matter of fact, that's when I started the project I'm trying to finish, now. My friend had an early and archaic VCR tape recorder and - expectedly - was always getting nervous when I wanted to rewatch a certain scene or technical detail for my notes. But notes could have been equally taken during the many TOS reruns in the 1970's. Bob

Seven of the 10 carload commodity groups AAR tracks on a weekly basis posted increases compared with the same week in 2012, including grain, up 23.5%, and petroleum and petroleum products, up 21.6%. Declining commodities included coal, down 5.0%.
Canadian freight rail traffic also did well, with Canadian freight carloads rising 4.4% for the week ending Nov. 16, measured against the comparable week in 2012. Canadian intermodal volume gained 5.5%. Mexican freight carload traffic for the week rose 3.2%, while Mexican intermodal failed to join the winners, falling 11.0%.
Combined North American freight carload traffic for the 46 weeks of 2013 on 13 reporting U.S., Canadian. and Mexican railroads was up 0.4% measured against the comparable period of a year ago. Combined North American intermodal volume registered a 4.0% gain.

Microsoft's Windows Vista operating system has been
lambasted ever since it was launched
for consumers in January 2007. Diehard Windows users balked at the steep
system requirements, sometimes sluggish performance, inadequate
driver support, and varying products SKUs at multiple price points.
One feature that has caused quite a bit of controversy with
consumers has been the User Account Control (UAC) that is included in Windows
Vista. UAC prompts nag users for simple operations such as going to device
manager, emptying the recycle bin, or installing/uninstalling an application.
David Cross, a product manager responsible for designing
UAC, gave the real reason for UAC at the RSA 2008 conference in San Francisco
yesterday. "The reason we put UAC into the platform was to annoy users. I'm
serious," remarked Cross.
Cross added that Microsoft's unorthodox method to stop users
from wreaking havoc with their systems and to stop software makers from making
applications that delved too far into the Windows subsystem was a necessary
"We needed to change the ecosystem, and we needed a
heavy hammer to do it," Cross added. Cross went on to say that although
UAC may be seen as an annoyance to some, but its lasting implications are far
more beneficial to Vista users. "Most users, on a daily basis, actually
have zero UAC prompts."
Many would say that many users have zero UAC prompts on a
daily basis because they have already disabled UAC -- not so says Microsoft.
According to Cross, 88% of Vista users have UAC enabled and 66% of Windows
sessions do not encounter UAC prompts.

Some good news about rainforests for a change!
The rate of destruction of the world's three largest forests fell 25 percent this decade compared with the previous one, but remains alarmingly high in some countries, the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization said.
A report entitled The State of the Forests in the Amazon Basin, Congo Basin and South East Asia, was released to coincide with a summit in the Congo Republic bringing together delegates from 35 countries occupying those forests, with a view to reaching a global deal on management and conservation.
The Amazon and the Congo are the world's first and second biggest forests, respectively, and its third biggest -- the Borneo Mekong -- is in Indonesia.
They sink billions of tonnes of carbon and house two thirds of the world's remaining land species between them.
The study found that annual rate of deforestation across the three regions, which account for more than 80 percent of the world's tropical forests, was 5.4 million hectares between 2000 and 2010, down a quarter from 7.1 million hectares in the previous decade.
Statistics showed that forest destruction in the Congo basin had remained stable but low over the last 20 years, while in South East Asia the rate of deforestation more than halved.
Countries which had previously had high levels of forest loss, such as Brazil and Indonesia, have had some success tackling the problem through better conservation awareness and government policy said the report's author, Mette Wilkie.
But she suggested this was no cause for complacency, especially of the threat from farming.
"Deforestation is higher than it ought to be," Wilkie told Reuters. "The Amazon basin has large scale land conversion for farming and crops, Congo has small scale conversion, mainly for subsistence farming, while South East Asia is a mixture."

KEXP Reviews
|Browse by one of the following:
- (Asthmatic Kitty)
This eccentric singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist's fifth album is the official follow-up to his third release Michigan, and the second in a planned series of albums about all 50 states. It's a truly magical record, ranging from elaborately arranged orchestral pop to gentle acoustic folk ballads, with even a bit of rock and dance music thrown in. The imaginative arrangements combine a dizzying assortment of instruments (most played by Sufjan himself), choral voices, a few passages of trance-y minimalism, and Stevens' own soft, delicate vocals. The ridiculously lengthy song titles hint at the album's lyrical variety, with ambitious, literate lyrics blending fanciful whimsy with an often-deep poignancy that reflects Stevens' spiritual concerns. Sufjan continues to grow as an artist – it's scary to think how good he'll be by the time he gets to the 50th state. 6/15/2005 - Don Yates

Tuesday, May 08, 2012 - Tomek and Mirek - Raunchy Sex - KINK
Latest Sets at WilliamHiggins.com
Mirek Ceslar is joined by newcomer Tomek Sirnad in this Raunchy Sex duo.
Tomek is as soldier and has overslept. Mirek arrives to find out why. He finds him asleep and throws water on his face and starts screaming at him. Tomek wakes and quickly gets out of bed. As he stands there his cock is hard and poking out the leg of his shorts. Mirek as him why he is still wearing socks. Mirek continues to scream at Tomek, telling him to do 10 push-ups. He starts to do them, but Mirek stands on his back and tells him to carry on. Tomek cannot lift that weight so Mirek gets off and puts just one foot on his back, for him to try again. When he has succeeded in the push-ups Tomek stands and Mirek pulls his shorts downa and instructs him to go down on his haunches and walk around, with his hands behind his head. Tomek then stands up and faces Mirek. His big cock is still rock hard. Mirek is intent of really pushing Tomek to his limit. He hangs him, by one ankle, from the ceiling, and begins to slap his and pull on his nipples. Then he wanks that hard cock some before instructing Tomek to do some crunches. Next Mirek starts to suck on Tomek's hard cock, taking it deep in his mouth, and wetting it up with his salvica. He really sucks on that cock before taking a belt and looping it around Tomek's cock. Turning him and pulling on the belt brings that big dick between his legs for Mirek to suck some more. Having pleasured his mouth Mirek decides his cock needs some action and he drops his pants and shoves his hard cock into Tomek's mouth for sucking. But he isn't finished yet, he drops one of Tomek's legs and then that ass is in the perfect position to get fucked. Mirek shoves his rock hard cock deep in Tomek's ass and fucks him nice and hard. All the while Tomek's cock stays fully hard. Mirek takes a break and has a cigarette before deciding to take Tomek down from the ceiling. He puts him on thso thae bed in doggy position so that he can fuck him some more. His cock pounds that ass nice and hard, really opening it up. Then Tomek is moved again, laying on his back, legs tied up in the air, with his hole easily available for more action. Long, deep thrusts of that big cock in Tomek's ass soon have the desired effect on Mirek and he pulls out and blows his load all over Tomek's face. Then Tomek is made to suck the sticky cock clean. Mirek decides that Tomek is not to be allowed to sleep again and puts him in a locker, closing the door and leaving him there.
Martin Bortlik is a very nice looking guy, with a slim, sexy build. We signed him up for a massage very quickly. He is laying, naked on the bench when the masseur arrives and places a towel over his ass and then takes some oil. He softly massages Martin's back,oiling it up very well, before moving onto his legs. As his hands move over the legs and ass we can see Martin's cock and balls as well. Then Martin's feet are massaged, making them glisten with oil. Next the masseur slips a hand under the towel, feeling Martin's sexy ass. The towel comes off and the ass is exposed completely. As the hands work on Martin's ass it seems that his cock has gotten very hard, from the touching. The masseur rubs a thumb up and down Martin's ass crack, and he spread the cheeks a bit before also taking the hard cock in his hand. The piss slit is nicely gaping as fingers rub over it. Then the hand takes hold of Martin's cock and begins to wank it a some. Martin is moved onto his knees, with his cock and balls hanging nicely between his legs. The Masseur wanks on that cock with his oiled hands, with the balls moving up and down as he does, and the ass hole nicely exposed. That ass looks very inviting and the masseur takes a vibrator and slides it into the hole. He works the vibrator in and out of that hole, opening it very well. Then he takes a larger vibrator and pushes it into the hole. It is a very tight fit and Martin's leg move, involuntarily, as it stretches his hole. Not wishing to go too far the smaller vibrator is brought back into play for a while, as the masseur also works on the cock. Martin then turns over, with his cock fully hard, and what a lovely one it is too. The masseur oils Martin's chest and then takes the cock and wanks it to a very nice climax, with the cum running down over his fingers. He wipes the cum all over Martin's chest to finish off a very nice shoot, with a very cute guy.
Marek Havlis is aged 18 and lives in Brno. He works as an electrician and enjoys fitness and boxing. We see Marek, recling in a punchbag as he does his interview. He is only wearing shorts and begins to rub himself. He hands massages his groin and then dips into his shorts to take hold of his cock. Marek moans as he feels it and soon he puts his hand in again, but through the leg and pulls out a nice cock, with the foreskin covering the head. Wanking that cock soon gets it nice and hard, and what a lovely shape it is too. As we see a close up of the cock, with Marek wanking it the skin pulls all the way back over the cockhead. Marek stands up, and his cock is fully hard, and very long as he removes the shorts. As the cock stands pround Marek runs his hands over his body. He then turns and we see a very nicely rounded ass. He pushes that ass back towards us, and uses hands to spread the cheeks a bit to give a glimpse of his hole. Marek is intent on showing that hole off for us. With his cock hard and poking downwards he rests on the punchbag and spreads his cheeks beautifully. That tight hole is in clear view and as he pulls the cheeks wider apart it begins to open up. Marek lays, face down, on the mats and shows us more ass before turning over and letting us see that massive cock, fully hard, again. He lifts a leg and spread the cheeks again too. With both legs in the air and that hole in full view Marek pushes his rock hard cock upwards to give a magnificent view. He drops his legs and takes hold of his cock, wanking it hard and fast and he shoots a big, squirty load of cum for us. Marek, having given us a great show moves off to the shower to clean up.
Roman Hucko lives in Trnava in Slovakia. He is 25 years old and studies at university. In his spare time Roman enjoys swimming and sports. Roman is a handsome, well built guy with a lovely smile. In this shoot he slowly removes his clothes, shirt first, and poses for us. He looks very good as he is topless, giving us some very good views of his chest and then, as he drops his jeans, a very sexy ass. Having feasted on that ass we then see the front view, with Roman's flaccid cock resting on his balls. Soon we get to see the cock hard too, as Roman stands and poses for us. Next it is time to see that ass again, with the cheeks nicely spread to display a nice tight hole. All in all Roman looks wonderful in this shoot, I am very keen to see his erotic video as soon as possible.
Akhmed Virt is aged 22 and is from Dushanbe in Tajikistan. He is a student who enjoys sports, wrestling and boxing. Akhmed is a very good looking guy who, after his interview, dons some boxing gloves and starts to train with the punchbag. He works well at his training and then removes the gloves, standing against the punchbag, and begins to run his hands over his body. One hand dips into his shorts then he takes his time to show us that great chest, and six pack. A hand drops to his groin and gropes at his cock as he poses against the punchbag. He looks fabulous as his stands there feeling his chest and biceps. Akhmed then turns round and begins to feel his ass. He pushes the shorts down over that ass so we see it in all its naked glory. He feels the cheeks and his hands pull them apart to give a glimpse of his hole. The crack is nicely covered in hair and Akhmed bends to push the shorts all the way down. His thighs are thick and sturdy and look beautiful as he bends, legs far apart, to show that ass hole. Akhmed's balls hang nice and low as we look at his ass and look right into that hairy crack to see the tight hole. Then, still bent over, Akhmed plays with his cock, getting it hard and pushing it back for us to see, as he looks through his legs, at the camera. Next Akhmed sits on the training bench and begins to wank his hard cock. He leans back as he wanks, his body looking magnificent as he wanks. As he lays there, one hand wanking and the other feeling that beautiful body Akhmed lifts his legs to show his ass again. His cheeks are spread wide so we can see right into that ass crack with it shiny hole. Akhmed then settles down to wank himself to a climax. He delivers a very nice cumshot for us, as he pumps that cock. Then he goes off to the shower to clean up. I really think Akhmed looks great and would love to have him back for more.

Cocaine Party with Anthony Bourdain
A viewer can't help but think that It's been a while since Chef Bourdain was doing lines of pure Columbian yayo off of Keith Richard's poultry, but make no mistake; It's neither the first, nor last time Bourdain's cooked blow.
On The Travel Channel's No Reservations you never know what the ballsy cook is going to set on fire. Sometimes he hates the food he's exposed to, but he won't lie, nose candy was once his favorite late night snack. Just watch, as Anthony has to wear sunglasses to hide his tears, and readies himself to kiss the six ton motherload of snowy white jelly beans goodbye.

It's now time to point out the loons (truthers) again via Sandy Hook. The "story" is in the Washington Com-Post and the comment I copied sums it up well:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/mor ... /#comments
"It's a small group of people who offer up a bevy of conspiracy theories about the mass shooting. The most prominent of their claims: that the December 2012 massacre was a "false flag" orchestrated by government officials to build support for gun control. No credible evidence supports that theory — nor any of the others that have been peddled on message boards in dark corners of the Internet since the attack.
Comment by Daniel Cabral:
It's funny because the numbers lately of those who think Sandy Hook was a hoax event have grown quite large as more and more information has come out. It appears they are getting very nervous and need a propaganda story like this to quickly try to demonize those calling it fake as "terrorists" lol. And they say these theories are on "the deep dark web" lmao. Anyone who goes to youtube can find hundreds and hundreds of videos on this subject pointing out the plethora of discrepancies and holes in the Sandy Hook story using the news media's own footage to show how the narrative doesn't match what they are showing us in the footage.
Now I want you people to think about this. He is a Newtown resident and 8th grade teacher they say. This means he was not a teacher at Sandy Hook, he was not a parent of an alleged victim who died at Sandy Hook. If people who think it was a hoax wanted to go after people they believe sold us a lie, what sense would it make to target some random Newtown resident with no connection to the event? [except his 6 year old son attended but was not injured] Why would they not be harassing actual teachers from the school, parents of the victims, or Newtown officials selling us the shooting narrative? It makes no sense at all that this guy would be on anyone's radar.
But it makes for a great propaganda story to conditional the sheeple to think "OMG these people are crazy, they aren't just a danger to people involved with the Sandy Hook event, they are a danger to everyone". You are being indoctrinated on what automatic conclusion to come to on someone who calls a story fake or possible government conspiracy. Once they brainwash you to think that way you will automatically dismiss and never look into why some call it fake as you will just automatically think "Oh that's crazy talk, I don't have to look into it cause I already know it's just crazy people talk". You accept what they tell you as fact at face value and they are your only source for information. That's how you become brainwashed by media."

Calculating with Signatures [04-Aug-2004, Development code]
An extension to the signature language of ocaml. The patch is for ocaml-3.08.0 and provides some operations on signatures. It is still at an experimental state but mostly working.
Dynamic contract checking for OCaml [04-Jul-2011, Beta]
A prototype that does dynamic contract checking for OCaml code. The prototype is built upon the source code of ocamlc-3.11.2.
Enhtop [05-May-2009, version 3.11.0, Alpha]
This is an experimental patch (we also provide pre-built testing executable and Debian package) for an enhanced OCaml toplevel with additional features. For any kind of bindings (i.e. value, type, module, class etc.): Identifiers been rebound are shown differently by default, to distinguish with currently effective ones; a new directive to query (by kinds or names or their composition) and show both current and history bindings; a new directive to show the current binding of any identifier without evaluating or rebinding it; a type-check-only testing mode to experiment your definitions without polluting the world, and the directive to enter/leave it.
Extensible Open Datatypes in OCaml [17-Apr-2012, version 1.0.2, Stable]
A patch for the OCaml compiler that adds extensible open datatypes. One open type already exists within OCaml: the exn type used for exceptions. This patch extends this mechanism to allow the programmer to create their own open types.
HashCaml [27-Apr-2006, Alpha]
an extension of the OCaml bytecode compiler with support for type-safe marshalling and related naming features. HashCaml builds on earlier work on Acute but is a distinct language design and implementation.
ocaml-option [09-Aug-2001, version 2001-01-04, Beta]
A patch against OCaml 3.00. It implements a proposal for a tiny extension of the OCaml module system, allowing optional value fields in module types. This is similar to optional arguments.
RTT [17-Dec-2012, version 0.4, Beta]
RTT is a prototype implementation of run-time typing in OCaml. It allows programmers to use functions such as to_string: 'a -> string (for all 'a). The present solution focuses on being fully automatic, and providing the actual run-time type of values (including when it is more precise than the static type, because of polymorphism). On the other side, types are represented in an untyped way (no GADTs) and we only provide a minimal library for the purpose of the demonstration.
Type safe unmarshalling functions [26-Jun-2006, Alpha]
A patch for Objective Caml that provides type safe unmarshalling functions.

I just started trying to bond Lola to a rescue bunny named Dexter (see photo below).
We had been looking for a partner for her and it worked out that we were going on vacation and could leave her with a very experienced lady that has a rabbit rescue here and she spent 3 days helping to bond them. Lola is a very assertive female so we thought it best to try her with a semi-timid/submissive male.
When I brought them home I initially had them in a separated x-pen that shared one side (note: it was an old folded up pen so there was NO way they could get to each other between the bars...). They ate dinner side by side and even flopped next to each other afterwards with their backs "touching" through the separation. After that, I let them each out to hop around and explore. Dexter (new bun) was fine. A little nervous of his new surroundings but hopped around and took some Oxbow pellets as treats from me which I thought was a great start. Lola explored for two seconds and then tried to attack Dexter between the bars. It honestly made me nervous because I don't like the thought of her teeth biting the metal - the last thing I want is her to have teeth issues or snap one off. I wasn't too surprised because this is Lola's home and she is going to be territorial.
So - we left them in the separated x-pen over night and it went REALLY well until about 6:30am when Lola started violently shaking the cage with her teeth. Luckily, I was already awake so I could get up and get her. I'm honestly not sure if it's because she is trying to get at him OR if it's because she is used to being a free-range bun and the idea of being caged in terrifies her. She also will freak out if she gets locked out of her cage so this is an issue we've had in the past - she is just used to everything being wide open. After this incident, we decided to let her be in her NIC condo and let Dexter have the x-pen all to himself after that. Again, the biting the cage thing just scares me too much to risk her snapping a tooth.
When I got home from work this evening I did a quick 10-15 minute bathtub session before I gave them their dinner. Dexter was calm and relaxed but Lola was TERRIFIED. They did some slight snuggling but Lola tried to hop out a few times which isn't good because I don't want her to break something (jeez….this bunny is just asking to get hurt….). I calmly put them side by side and rubbed them together and for about 5 minutes and then put them each in their respective cages and gave them their greens for dinner. Dexter immediately started munching but it took a solid 20 minutes for Lola to calm down enough to start eating…and kale is her FAVORITE so I know she was worked up.
I am most nervous about how nervous Lola is. She just shakes like a leaf with ANYTHING that changes in her environment. Could that be detrimental to her health? I don't know how worked up is too much - I can just tell she is really confused and scared. I also noticed when I got home from work she still had some pellets in her container which is unusual because she usually eats them all. She didn't seem to have as much poop in her litter box as normal but then again I could be being just a worried Momma - I emptied her litter box to make sure she is using it normally to double check. She went a TON last night marking all over the place so I wasn't too concerned. Her nervous-ness is honestly why we wanted to find her a friend in the first place - somebun to lean on for comfort besides us...we can't crawl in the carrier with her when we need to take her somewhere (if I could I probably would). Leave it to me have a bun that has anxiety/stress issues just like her slave...
Any suggestions you all could give me would be AWESOME.

ProDraft Buy Expands MnIPC Footprint
On Sept. 1, MnIPC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Minnesota Credit Union Network, completed its purchase of ProDraft Services LLC, a Bismarck, N.D.-based CUSO that provides correspondent and EFT processing solutions.
The move significantly expands the firm's footprint into neighboring North Dakota and complements a nationwide expansion effort that began several years ago.
"The acquisition of ProDraft allows MnIPC to increase volume, pricing power and overall efficiencies," said John Ferstl, vice president of the Minnesota Credit Union Network's Network Service Corporation.
Together, the combined companies said they will move forward under the MnIPC name.
Purchased by Midwest Corporate Federal Credit Union in 2007, ProDraft was converted into a CUSO in 2009, with ownership shared among 38 credit unions in North Dakota. It established a business relationship with Fifth Third Bank to offer correspondent and EFT processing solutions.
Negotiations to purchase ProDraft had been in the works for about a year, said Michelle Carlson, vice president of MnIPC. The cost to purchase ProDraft was not disclosed.
Like others in the industry, ProDraft felt the impact of the corporate credit union system meltdown. Its parent company, Midwest Corporate, was liquidated in 2011 after it lost nearly $13 million in capital behind the collapse of U.S. Central. Following the liquidation, Doug Wolf, the former Midwest Corporate president/CEO, was hired as vice president of ProDraft.
When asked whether there would be any leadership changes at ProDraft as a result of MnIPC's acquisition, Carlson said negotiations have been discussed.
Carlson said because checking processing is dependent on volume, the merger could potentially keep pricing down for credit unions. The acquisition may also lead to more partnerships with correspondent banks, she noted.
ProDraft has 37 clients while MnIPC serves more than 100 credit unions.
The $18 million Catholic United Financial Credit Union has had a relationship with MnIPC since 2001, said Terri Maloney, president/CEO of the St. Paul, Minn.-based cooperative. Maloney said she's impressed MnIPC is able work across several operating systems.
"I could've gone anywhere else, including the Federal Reserve. I think smaller is better because you get the attention you need," Maloney said.

House Calls runs every other Thursday. Today's column is written by Ken Ortman, director of the Medial/Surgical Unit at Sutter Coast Hospital.
Did you ever wonder why the hospital asks you about your medications every time you go there? Or ask yourself why they don't remember from the last visit or can't just get the list from your old records?
Well, according to numerous studies in hospitals throughout the country, medication errors injure and sometimes kill patients in alarming numbers. Nothing is more devastating to physician or nurses than knowing they have injured a patient. The emotional scars from a single incident will last a lifetime.
We as nurses and doctors have a commitment to you, the patient, to provide the best care possible, and that includes ensuring that the medications you're taking are the ones you need for the illnesses you have. We also have a duty to ensure you're not taking medications that don't work with other medications or are no longer needed. A current list of all the medications you are taking is critical to this commitment. Only you know everything you are taking and can provide that information to us.
One of the greatest tools your doctor has in treating you is an
accurate and up-to-date list of medications you are taking. This
includes all the over-the-counter pills and supplements suggested by
friends, co-workers, and family. For example, if you are taking
Coumadin (a medicine that prevents your blood from clotting), you must
tell your doctor if you are taking vitamin K supplements because it will
interfere with the actions of Coumadin. Brussels sprouts and broccoli
also contain high levels of Vitamin K.
So what does all this mean to you? If you take medications and
supplements, you need to keep an updated list of them available to
provide to the hospital, ambulance crew, or your personal physician. A
copy in your purse or wallet is extremely helpful to the hospital staff
when you arrive. A list on the door of your refrigerator can be a life
saver if you need to call an ambulance for emergency treatment.
The list of medications or supplements should contain the following
information: drug name; how often you take it - daily, two times a day,
etc.; how you take it - by mouth (pills), rub it on (creams), or by
injections (shots of insulin); and why you take it. Sometimes your
doctor will use a medication to treat a condition with a medication
typically used for something else. For example Viagra, a common
erectile dysfunction drug, can also be used to treat some types of high
blood pressure.
When you are admitted to the hospital, your medication list is
reviewed by your doctor, the nurse, and pharmacist to ensure you
continue to take those medications necessary for your chronic, or long
term, conditions and to ensure they won't interfere with the drugs given
to treat the problem you were admitted for.
Prevention of adverse reactions caused by drug interactions is a high
priority for the entire patient care team at the hospital. In fact it
is so important that a special form called a "medication reconciliation"
is used for every patient who enters the hospital.
This form is also provided to your personal doctor when you are
discharged from the hospital. A copy of it should also be given to you
upon your discharge from the hospital. It is an excellent way for you to
provide information to others involved in your health care. During
discharge is the perfect time to question the nurse or doctor about any
new medications you may have been prescribed. You should be completely
familiar with any new drugs and ask questions on how they may require
changes in your diet or activity level.
Some, like Coumadin, may require a change in your diet as well as
extra precautions to prevent falls or injuries which may result in
bleeding. Other medications may change your ability to drive a car or
operate machinery.
So the next time you're asked by the nurse or doctor about your
medications, instead of telling them to look in your old records, give
them a list of your current medications. This will speed up any
treatments and ensure your health care team can provide the safest,
highest quality care possible.

Eat nutrient-dense foods.
The most nutrient-dense foods – and one of the primary components of a paleo diet – are vegetables. Try eating more of the healthiest: kale, seaweed, spinach, and arugula. The second most nutrient-dense food is meat from wild or grass-fed animals, like fish, cattle, buffalo, and boar. Animal meat is high in B vitamins, omega-3s, amino acids, and other nutrients essential to good health.Back to top

Between 2009 and 2012, the ONC data shows, the number of non-federal acute care hospitals that had at least a "basic" EHR more than tripled from 12% to 44%. It was in 2009 that Congress passed the HITECH Act, which authorized government incentive payments to hospitals and doctors for making meaningful use of EHRs.
Basic EHRs, as defined by the ONC, include clinician notes but not clinical decision support tools or the ability to order lab or imaging tests or specialty consultations electronically. Those are features of comprehensive EHRs, which were used by 17% of hospitals in 2012, compared to nearly 3% in 2009.
[ Some doctors don't even know their hospital has an EHR system. Read EHRs Underused For Hospital Infection Reporting. ]
The percentage of hospitals that had certified EHR technology rose from 72% in 2011 to 85% in 2012, the ONC pointed out. The reason why these numbers are so much higher than those for basic and comprehensive EHRs is that they include hospitals that had only certain parts of EHRs certified for meaningful use.
Hospital adoption of EHR systems varied across the U.S. The rates of adoption of at least basic EHRs were above the national average in 12 states and below average in 11 other states. The states with the highest adoption rates were South Dakota, Rhode Island and Colorado. New Hampshire, New Mexico and Kansas had the lowest adoption rates.
The other ONC report found that hospital adoption of EHR technology capable of meeting meaningful use objectives increased substantially from 2008 to 2012. Hospitals' capabilities to meet seven of the technology goals grew significantly, with increases ranging from 32% to 167%. The capability that increased the most was the ordering of medications through computerized provider order entry (CPOE).
In 2012, the report said, hospital adoption rates for each of the 14 stage 1 core objectives ranged from 72% to 94%. For all but one of these objectives, adoption increased by at least 20% from 2011 to 2012.
The high rates show the extent to which hospitals are focusing on the implementation of health IT that qualifies them for incentive payments. In contrast, the most recent ranking of hospital EHRs by HIMSS Analytics shows that providers are making slower progress across the gamut of EHR capabilities than the ONC data indicates.
As of the fourth quarter of 2012, HIMSS Analytics' data shows, 38% of hospitals were in stage 4 or higher of the research firm's seven-stage EMR adoption model. That includes all of the providers that had CPOE, which is a core requirement in meaningful use stage 1. In contrast, ONC found that the percentage of hospitals that had CPOE systems for medication ordering rose from 51% in 2011 to 72% in 2012. But it's unclear how many of these hospitals would have met HIMSS Analytics' stage 4 criteria for CPOE, which also includes test ordering. In addition, many facilities still lack clinical decision support and information exchange capabilities.
However, it appears that hospital leaders are increasingly confident about their ability to meet the requirements for meaningful use stage 2. A few months ago, a KPMG survey found that 47% of healthcare executives were only "somewhat confident" about their ability to meet these criteria. But in the recently released annual HIMSS survey of CIOs, 66% said their institutions had attested in stage 1 of meaningful use, and 75% said they plan to attest in stage 2.

Dries Van Noten Spring 2013 | Pictures
Dries Van Noten Spring 2013
Is there such a thing as couture grunge? Judging from Dries Van Noten's Spring '13 collection, there is. "I wanted to go back to having fun with clothes," said Van Noten. "It's everything that I love. It has that kind of menswear/women's-wear kind of grungy, spontaneous feel." Fun it was, but with a very refined edge seen in the designer's perfectly crafted lineup of printed and rosette-embellished skirts, silk plaid blouses, crinkled floral printed trousers, and sleek peplum vests. Even the robe blazers and jackets had a decidedly louche yet elegant tilt to them. Meanwhile, Van Noten showed easy floral-printed slip dresses and diaphanous sheer gowns that billowed effortlessly down the runway. It was the most romantically cool collection we've ever seen, and suffice to say, we want every single look.
- Trends: Plaid, floral prints, embellishments, sheer layers.
- Colors: Navy, aubergine, sage green, blue, gray, pale yellow.
- Key Piece: The gorgeous black embellished skirt paired with the aubergine sheer plaid blouse.
- Accessories: Printed pumps, plaid clutches, round oversize sunglasses, metal pendant necklaces.
- Who Should Wear It: Fashion heavy hitters who have a penchant for eclectic silhouettes and embellishments like Maggie Gyllenhaal, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Cate Blanchett.

Topic: [SOLVED] Managesieve rules not being applied with Dovecot 1.2.9.
After I create managesieve rules in Roundcube (0.3.1), they not applied or applied incorrectly. Has anyone had this issue before: For example, I've created a filter named "Gone Fishin" and I want to to notify senders that "I'm gone fishin." I get the message but the sender never receives the automatic response. Here the rule:
require ["vacation"];

Dipoto may look at relievers if Greinke's too pricey
By Alden Gonzalez / MLB.com
But it may only be the beginning of general manager Jerry Dipoto's bullpen transformation.
If Zack Greinke gets the type of money recent reports say he will, then going conservative with the rotation and continuing to fortify the relief corps -- which blew an American League-leading 47 saves the last two years -- could be the Angels' preferred route.
The Winter Meetings are four days away, but Greinke's price tag is already getting rather inordinate. Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com and Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com expect him to net a $150 million contract over six years; ESPN.com's Buster Olney suggested that he could top CC Sabathia's record seven-year, $161 million deal; and the majority of those around baseball expect the Dodgers -- with the near-endless revenue streams that come with a potential $7 billion television deal -- to finish with the winning bid.
With Greinke's price soaring, CBSSports.com's Danny Knobler wrote on Tuesday that the Angels are "now unlikely to sign him."
Asked about that when reached by phone on Wednesday night, Dipoto declined comment, saying, "If I responded to every rumor, I'd waste all the time in my day. We'll let it play out as it's going to play out."
Is Greinke's price really that high, or is it the usual Internet fodder and agent manipulation that tends to dominate this time of year? Tough to say. But this much can be gathered, per industry sources.
The Angels are unlikely to pay $150 million for Greinke if he ends up commanding that much.
The trade market remains an unviable option because their farm system is barren and because Dipoto is against trading valuable young talent from his position-player club for a short-term rotation fix.
If Greinke prices himself out of Anaheim and he has the expected trickle-down effect on the likes of Anibal Sanchez and Kyle Lohse, the Angels may have to go an alternate route: signing one mid-rotation starter, one innings eater and at least one more top-tier reliever.
It's a modern roster strategy -- combating a less-than-stellar rotation with a lights-out bullpen -- but a source said Dipoto is very open to this kind of plan.
The Yankees did just that two offseasons ago, signing Rafael Soriano to pitch the eighth inning even though they already had the capable David Robertson as a bridge to Mariano Rivera. The 2007 D-backs team Dipoto was part of did it that way, too, using Jose Valverde, Brandon Lyon, Tony Pena and others to counteract a rotation that was weak beyond Brandon Webb.
Dipoto is against spending top dollar on a closer, but he isn't against spending money on a collection of relievers who can shorten the game and make the bullpen a strength, especially in a market that may be deeper in relievers than it is in starters.
If that's the route he takes -- and this is still the point in the offseason when everything is on the table -- that means C.J. Wilson will begin the season as the Angels' No. 2 starter, behind ace Jered Weaver.
Dipoto, who signed Wilson to a $77.5 million contract at last year's Winter Meetings, would be fine with that.
"That's what his performance merits," he said. "He's been a consistent 200-inning, mid-teens winner, made two All-Star teams in the last three years, received Cy Young votes. [A No. 2 starter] is what C.J. is in a Major League rotation, and that's what we signed him to be."
Arbitration-eligible Angels to be tendered contracts
Before Friday's 8:59 p.m. PT deadline, the Angels are expected to tender contracts to all four of their arbitration-eligible players: designated hitter Kendrys Morales, third baseman Alberto Callaspo, and pitchers Jerome Williams and Kevin Jepsen.
Since the Basic Agreement prohibits teams from trimming a player's salary by more than 20 percent, teams tend to non-tender arbitration-eligible players, thus sending them into the free-agent market -- because they don't want to pay them the salary they'll command the following season.
The only player seemingly on the bubble was Williams, who's in his second year of arbitration and pitched mostly in long relief last season. But the 30-year-old right-hander will be back, perhaps competing with Garrett Richards for the fifth spot in a rotation that still needs to be solidified.
The Angels owe about $100 million to nine players in 2013 -- Vernon Wells, Jered Weaver, C.J. Wilson, Albert Pujols, Howie Kendrick, Erick Aybar, Scott Downs, Chris Iannetta and Ryan Madson -- plus $4.5 million for buying out Dan Haren's contract and trading Ervin Santana.
Factoring in MLBTradeRumors.com's arbitration projections for Morales ($4.8 million), Callaspo ($4.2 million), Williams ($1.9 million) and Jepsen ($1.1 million), that puts them at roughly $117 million -- plus salaries close to the minimum for the remaining 12.
Angels claim shortstop Field off waivers
The Angels claimed shortstop Thomas Field off waivers from the Twins on Wednesday.
Field, a 25-year-old right-handed hitter who also has experience at second base, spent his entire playing career with the Rockies, the team that drafted him in the 24th round of the First-Year Player Draft in 2008.
Field has posted a .264/.359/.414 slash line in his Minor League career, totaling 47 homers and 47 steals in 524 games. He batted .246 with eight homers while playing in his first season of Triple-A this year, and appeared in 18 games with the Rockies from 2011-12.
Field, claimed off waivers by the Twins on Nov. 2, joins Angel Sanchez and Brendan Harris as offseason additions who could compete with Andrew Romine for the backup infielder spot, vacated by Maicer Izturis when he signed with the Blue Jays.
Worth noting
The Angels would look to trade Vernon Wells if a team is willing to take a reasonable portion of the $42 million owed him over the next two years, an industry source said, but there have been no takers.
Minor League first baseman C.J. Cron, who's rehabbing from shoulder surgery, was selected to the Topps Class A All-Star team after a 27-homer, 123-RBI season for Inland Empire.

Bubba Beason, who coordinated the Arkansas event, said the run is "an apolitical reflection of remembrance."
The core running team consists of active duty and reserve airmen, soldiers, marines and Arkansas State Police, Beason said.
The 143-mile memorial run is to honor Arkansas service members killed in the war against terrorism.
The run team will present an American flag and biographical card at each mile marker along the way.
"Each mile of the run is dedicated to an Arkansas hero," Beason said.
Beason started a run in New Jersey when he was stationed there in 2009. It had such success, he decided to start one when he got stationed in Arkansas as well.
In 2011, around 60 people participated in the run. Last year, 90 runners turned out and more than 120 have registered this year.
"We've had overwhelming support," Beason said.
Beason said the public is encouraged to show support by running alongside the core team for the final three miles from the Big Dam Bridge to the capitol in Little Rock at approximately 2 p.m. Sunday.
Viist www.arkansasrunforthefallen.org or email Beason at email@example.com for more information.
