The government cannot be sure there is no safety risk from supermarket beef products that have been found to contain horse DNA, the head of the UK's leading official food control laboratory has told the Guardian.
Responding to the growing scandal over the contamination of burgers with horse and pig meat, which saw the first of the factories at the heart of the row close its production lines on Friday, the former president of the association of public analysts, Dr Duncan Campbell, said: "All we know is it is not a beefburger. What is it? We don't know. Why was it picked up in Ireland and not the UK, and how long has it been going on? Until we know what the source is of the 'horse' or 'something derived from horse' that has been found in the beef products, we cannot be sure there is no food safety risk."
Campbell is the chief public analyst for West Yorkshire and a leading expert on the quality of meat. He will carry out some of the testing as the official investigation into the horsemeat scandal develops.
He said that it was "a reflex" for the UK Food Standards Agency (FSA) to say there was no food safety aspect to scandals of this sort, despite the fact that the law has clearly been broken, which may also mean that it has been broken in other ways.
He questioned whether raw materials could be coming from slaughterhouses that were not approved for processing meat for human consumption, or from unfit horses destined for the knacker's yard but which had instead ended up in the human food chain.
There could also be risks around residues of medicines used for sick animals but not considered safe for the human food chain, he added.
The official investigation into how large numbers of beef products on sale in the UK and Ireland came to contain horse and pig DNA is now focusing on imported ingredients added to cheap burgers.
Industry insiders have told the Guardian they believe that an ingredient called "drind", dehydrated rind or skin, may be at the heart of the scandal. It is commonly used to bulk up cheap meat products.
Additives made from boiled hide or offcuts of carcasses are typically used to bind in added fat and water and increase the protein levels of economy beef products that have a low meat content. These may legally be identified simply as "seasoning" on the label.
How long the adulteration and contamination discovered by the Irish authorities and now being investigated across the UK this week has been going on is not known. Trading standards officers in the UK only began testing samples from the offending factories this week. They have taken samples to test for horse or pig DNA from the Dalepak plant in North Yorkshire owned by ABP, the Irish meat processing giant that supplied Tesco with the affected burgers. Results are expected shortly.
Supermarkets and suppliers have also been frantically commissioning their own tests on meat products in a desperate attempt to find out the ingredients.
Campbell said there had been a rush on materials needed to do the lab analyses that can detect the wrong species in meat, with some supplies running out.
Tesco has admitted that criminality or gross negligence has almost certainly been involved in the adulteration of the economy beefburgers that were found to contain 29% horse DNA by the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) in test results published on Tuesday. In this case, sources have told the Guardian, horse chunks are believed to have been part of the raw material used.
Ingredients and raw materials supplied by European processors to ABP are now the focus of efforts to determine how the adulteration took place.
ABP and a further company whose beef produce was found to contain horse DNA, Liffey Foods, supply several other major high street retailers. Beef products sold in Lidl and Iceland contained pork and horse DNA in the Irish tests and have been withdrawn from sale. Asda, Sainsbury's and the Co-op used the same suppliers and have withdrawn lines as a precaution, although the FSAI did not test samples from these retailers because they do not have stores in Ireland.
Burger King also bought burgers from the same ABP Silvercrest factory in County Monaghan as Tesco but said it was confident that its products were made in a different way and were not contaminated.
ABP announced on Friday that it was shutting its Silvercrest factory following a further round of tests by the Irish agriculture department on samples collected this week in which most also contained traces of horse DNA.
The FSAI stood by its assessment that there was no risk to consumer health from the presence of horse and pig DNA in beefburgers. Any bacterial contamination would be killed by cooking, it said. It also revealed that it had retested all the burgers that were positive for horse DNA to check for the presence of phenylbutazone, a commonly used medicine in horses that is not allowed in the food chain, and all of the results were negative.
A Food Standards Agency spokeswoman said: "The FSA is stressing that, on the basis of the evidence, there is no food safety risk to consumers from these products. There is nothing about horse meat that makes it any less safe than other meat products. The meat products were supplied to the retailers by approved establishments. The burgers that contained horse DNA were tested by FSAI for the presence of phenylbutazone, a commonly used medicine in horses that is not allowed in the food chain; all of the results were negative."
The Environment, Food and Rural Affairs select committee announced on Friday that it would be summoning the minister and FSA to answer questions on 30 January about the effectiveness of UK checks on the food industry.

The EarthBaby Story
EarthBaby the compostable diaper service was started by two Bay Area dads in 2008.
After searching for a convenient and environmentally friendly alternative to disposable diapers they found that single-use compostable diapers were available, but no service existed to actually compost them. They learned that unless these diapers were composted by a licensed commercial compost facility, they would still end up in the landfill where nothing has a chance to compost.
Disposable diapers constitute the 3rd largest contributor (by volume) to US landfill sites today.* EarthBaby addresses this problem and closes the loop, ensuring that diapers stay out of the landfill.
Currently EarthBaby diverts more than 16,000 pounds of diaper waste from Bay Area landfills each week and converts it to nutrient-rich soil.
* EPA 2008 Municipal Solid Waste Generation, Recycling and Disposal in the United States: report 7.6 billion pounds per year and 2.3% of landfill

August Waiver Fishing Can be Catch and Release
I have always looked at the 30 days after the final bell of the Trade Deadline as fishing season. Now that the non-waiver wire transaction have been concluded, that doesn't mean the wheeling and deals has come to a halt, or that as the month of August comes to a close, more and more deals will come popping out of the blue. You got to remember, during this critical juncture in the season, if a player is not squared away on an MLB 40-man roster by August 31st, he will not have eligibility for post-season play.
So I imagine we will see an unending plethora of both fly fishing casts and deep sea trolling maneuvers from sea to shining MLB sea from any of the 30 members of the MLB brass up until the final ticks of the clock of August.
The Trade Deadline being done and buried, this is the time period where all 30 of the MLB brass can select any player on their 40-man roster, pluck him into the briny blue and wait to see if the waters churn and become agitated or remain flaccid and smooth. Any player, even a All-Star or fading veteran can be deposited into the water during this time, and depending on the type of fishing, they can either be landed or the underwater menace is left with just a bad taste in his mouth as his prey is pulled to safety.
Putting a player into the MLB waiver pond is simple enough, but from there the rules can get as muddled as the mighty Mississippi as it winds through the Louisiana delta. Teams can either be playing the light and loose game of catch and release by offering a player into the waiver wading pond, then just as a team puts in a waiver on the swimming feast, his parent club can yank him back to the safety of their 40-man roster without regret, and possibly a future off-season trading partner. Once a player during this waiver period has hit the tidal pool, if he is pulled back off the line, he can not be dealt for at least 30 days…if then.
But then there are others who are playing the trolling or deep sea game. Putting a large contract or " big fish" out there in hopes someone will nibble, bite or swallow whole a player and his club can wash their hands of a bad contract, aging veteran or possibly just rid themselves of a fish that is beginning to stink in his own bait bucket. You will definitely see this type of fishing game from a club hoping to swing a deal to lower payroll, but then again they could also pull back their bait knowing they have an interested party who might again bite in the Winter.
Sure a player can be pulled back to safety in either of those fishing antics, but what if the parent club lets the hook get in deep, doesn't pull the bait to safety, or no one bites at the tasty morsel even if they desire it in their clubhouse. What options then might lie ahead for the consumed or lonely bait nugget? There can be 3 alternatives to waiver fishing at this time of the year.
First option is the fisherman/ parent club can begin to work out a trade arrangement with the Goliath Grouper /hungry adversary who bit the bait and hung on for dear life. As long as the player who is usually on his team's 40-man roster clears waivers, both sides are privy to slicing and dicing up a trade/sushi roll that satisfies both of their desires.
Second option is more cunning and can directly effect the claiming team economically as well as physically. The trolling club can just take the option of dumping the player and his enormous salary right on the desired team's dock with no remorse, regret or chance of being called "Indian givers". This option comes with a bit of peril as one team will get the player desired as the others gets to walk away free and clear of all financial and physical responsibilities for the claimed trophy fish.
Third option that can be played out is no one claims the waiver wire bait and his parent club can wiggle his carcass to any of the other 29 MLB clubs free and clear of want or worry of someone making a claim on them.
But here is where it can come down to just plain good gamesmanship and cunning strategy. Let's say a player is dangled and wiggled in the waters and two fish want to consume that tasty morsel. Well, then it gets a bit complicated, or simpler depending on your respective league and overall record at that moment.
Depending on both teams records and if the player is from their own American or National League, the team that has the worst record among the 2 squads, and if they are in the same league as the claimed player…that doubles the ante and gives that team a viable chance to nibble on the yummy fillet.
Okay, let's use the Tampa Bay Rays RP/SP Wade Davis ( an avid fisherman) as an example here and show all 3 options. If we get a solid tug on the line and a team claims Davis and the Rays are receptive to dealing Davis to the claiming squad, then the two sides will haggle out a deal and Davis will turn in his sunburst for whatever colors his new team wears.
Option 2 definitely will not happen as the Rays have Davis under a pretty team-friendly contract and would not be looking to dump him on someone at any cost. Considering Davis is signed through 2014 with options for 2015,2016 and 2017, option 1 will be the only clear cut way to getting a player like Davis who a claiming team can control for the next 2 seasons with club options for 3 additional seasons. If this would happen, it would be a clear cost-cutting move for the Rays, but that isn't a viable conclusion.
Option 3 would not happen as at considering there were more than 4 teams watching Davis before the Trade Deadline, and possibly every one of them would possibly put in a waiver wire claim on him knowing his contract and pitching flexibility.
Davis is definitely one of the examples from the Rays roster that could get a waiver claim submitted when the Rays post his name for that 48 hour period. Another key component here is the team doesn't have to advise the player of his waiver posting, and usually a player can go through the entire process without a hint or whisper as either his team will pull him back from the waiver pond, or he will go unclaimed and be subject to the team's final decision.
I expect SP James Shields, RP Kyle Farnsworth, RP J P Howell, CF B J Upton, RP Joel Peralta, INF Elliot Johnson, Jeff Keppinger , Jeff Niemann and maybe even 1B Carlos Pena to make a bigger splash with possible waiver decisions for the Rays.
With some of these mentioned players, 2012 might be their last time wearing the Rays colors, but before the end of August, almost every player with value, including possibly a few names we once thought were "untouchables" could spend a few moments in the cooling waters of the waiver pond.
Wonder who will be plucked, and who will be pulled back to safety?

How to Keep your Flat Roof in Optimal Condition
Roofs are essential elements to commercial buildings. The entire integrity of your structure, assets, staff, and customers depend on it. Most business owners in Graves County, KY tend to install flat roofs because of their affordable costs and easy maintenance. Nonetheless, it doesn't mean you can simply forget about it. Preventive maintenance is vital in order to avoid commercial roof issues and other problems that can lead to more expensive damages.
Flat Roof Maintenance Tips
Just like any other commercial roof element, flat roofs need to be inspected regularly. Even though it sounds easy it is better to hire a professional commercial roof specialist for this task. The untrained eye might overlook some wear signs. Look for holes, tears, blisters, and loose seams on an asphalt-roll roof or for rust and pitting on a metal roof. Also, check the edges of the flashing to make sure water can't seep under it.
Look for signs of ponding water. This should be taken care immediately. Otherwise, your roofing systems can experience membrane degradation resulting from exposure to magnified UV rays, the presence of algae, or accelerated heat aging. If you notice any of the above signs of deterioration on your commercial building flat roof, contact the commercial roof experts in Graves County, KY as soon as possible. At The Top Restorations commercial roof experts will handle your flat roof issues and maintenance, keeping it in optimal conditions.

Thanks to the fact that tax rates on dividends are expected to spike in 2013, more and more companies are announcing special one-time big dividends that will pay out this year, and thus be taxed at 2012 rates.
The latest is Costco, which announced early this morning...
The Company also announced today that its Board of Directors has declared a special cash dividend on Costco common stock of $7.00 per share, payable December 18, 2012, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on December 10, 2012. The aggregate amount of payment to be made in connection with this special dividend will be approximately $3.0 billion.
The special dividend is in addition to the Company's regular quarterly cash dividend of $.275 per share that was declared on October 30, 2012. The regular quarterly dividend will be paid November 30, 2012, to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 16, 2012.
Richard Galanti, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, commented: "Today's announcement of a $7.00 special dividend, to be paid before the end of the calendar year, is our latest effort in returning capital to our shareholders while maintaining our conservative capital structure. Our strong balance sheet and favorable access to the credit markets allow us to provide shareholders with this dividend, while also preserving financial and operational flexibility to grow our business globally; allowing for ongoing dividend and share repurchase activities; and enhancing the value of the Costco membership to the more than 67 million Costco cardholders throughout the world."

April 6, 2009 -- A new study suggests a link between belly fat and the movement disorder restless legs syndrome, but more research is needed to confirm the association, experts say.
Study participants with the biggest bellies were slightly more than one and a half times more likely to have restless legs syndrome than those with the smallest.
A similar association was seen in participants who were obese, regardless of their belly size, compared to those who were not obese.
Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a neurological disorder that affects as many as one in 10 American adults.
The causes are poorly understood. About 50% of people treated for RLS have a family history of the disorder, according to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), but there is also strong evidence that environmental influences contribute to RLS.
Belly Fat, RLS
In several previous studies, obesity was shown to increase the risk for developing the neurological disorder, but none of the studies was designed for the purpose of examining this link, says Xiang Gao, MD, PhD, of Harvard Medical School and Harvard School of Public Health.
"We designed our study to look specifically at obesity, as measured by body mass index (BMI), and waist circumference," Gao tells WebMD.
The investigation included 65,554 women and 23,119 men participating in two ongoing, comprehensive health studies -- the Nurses Health Study II and the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study.
The participants were considered to have restless legs syndrome if they met four diagnostic criteria for the disorder recommended by an international study group and if they had symptoms five or more times a month.
A total of 6.4% of the women in the study and 4.1% of the men were considered to have RLS.
The study revealed that:
- Obese participants -- those with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or more -- were 42% more likely to have the disorder than those who were normal weight or underweight (BMI of less than 23).
- The 20% of the participants with the largest waist circumferences were 1.6 times more likely to have RLS than the 20% with the smallest waists.
- Being overweight or obese early in adulthood and weight gain from early adulthood to middle age was associated with a higher prevalence of restless legs syndrome.
More Study Needed
The findings, published in the April 7 issue of the journal Neurology, suggest a "modest, but significant" link between obesity and RLS, Gao says.
"We need more research to determine if obesity really is a cause of restless legs syndrome," he says. "Both obesity and RLS are very common in the U.S., and obesity may turn out to be a modifiable risk factor."
University of Maryland Neurologist William Weiner, MD, agrees that more research is needed to confirm that obesity and waist circumference play a role in RLS.
"This study makes the case that obesity is related in some way to restless legs syndrome, but we certainly can't say that obesity causes it," he says. "On the other hand, encouraging people who are obese to lose weight is certainly in their best interest."

(CNN) -- Bolivia President Evo Morales declared a U.S. diplomat "undesirable" Monday amid allegations that the United States asked a visiting scholar and Peace Corps volunteers to keep tabs on Cubans and Venezuelans in Bolivia.
Morales said a security assistant for the U.S. Embassy -- identified by the Bolivian Information Agency as Vincent Cooper -- violated the rights of Bolivian citizens and offended the country, the news agency reported Monday.
U.S. officials admitted that someone at the embassy made an inappropriate suggestion, the information agency reported, but the U.S. ambassador to Bolivia, Philip S. Goldberg, denied Monday that the embassy asked anyone to spy.
"I respect the sovereignty and dignity of Bolivia, and I am ready to talk with Bolivian government representatives to clarify everything and present all the facts," the Bolivian Information Agency quoted the ambassador as saying.
The scholar, John Alexander van Schaick, told ABC News that the request stunned him.
"My immediate thought was 'Oh my God. Somebody from the U.S. Embassy just asked me to basically spy," he said. "I was in shock that something like that would happen to me -- just a humble Fulbright scholar who's here to do research."
In Washington, Sean McCormack, a spokesman for the U.S. State Department, told reporters Monday that U.S. embassies are under instructions not to ask Fulbright scholars or Peace Corps volunteers to act "in any way, shape or form" on behalf of the U.S. government as intelligence agents.
The controversy erupted after van Schaick said Cooper asked him in a November meeting at the U.S. Embassy in La Paz to report the names and addresses of Cuban and Venezuelans working in Bolivia, according to the Bolivian Information Agency.
"I smiled and just sat there because I did not want to show that it completely dismayed me to be asked such a thing," van Schaick said, according to the news agency.
The U.S. Embassy in Bolivia said in a statement Monday that Peace Corps volunteers had been mistakenly given a security briefing in July meant for embassy staff asking them to report "suspicious activities," The Associated Press reported, though Goldman said "nobody at the embassy has ever asked American citizens to participate in intelligence activities here."
It was unclear Monday whether the Bolivian government would seek the expulsion of any U.S. Embassy employees in light of the president's declaration of Cooper as an "undesirable" person. E-mail to a friend

An export is a product, good, or commodity, transported from one country to another country in a legitimate manner. Export of goods requires involvement of Customs and other Government authorities in both the country of export and import. Important note to exporters: ISPM 15 requirements apply to all coniferous (softwood) and non-coniferous (hardwood) packing materials including dunnage. U.S. Inspection Agencies control the issuance of the ALSC Quality Mark and the presence of the Quality Mark ensures WPM produced in the U.S. and destined for export meets the importing countries regulations. Craters & Freighters are accredited agents for the ISPM 15 program.
Export Packing List
An export packing list is more detailed than a domestic packing list. The list contains itemized information in each individual package and indicates the type of package such as a corrugated box, wood crate, or drum. The list also shows the individual net, legal tare and gross weights and measurements for each package. Package markings should be noted with shippers and buyers references. U.S. and foreign customs officials may refer to the list to check the accuracy of the cargo.
Harmonized System Code
Harmonized System (HS) numbers are used to classify products for customs purposes. By international agreement, most countries recognize the same first 6 "harmonized" digits. HS numbers are used to classify exported products in the United States and import products into the country of destination.
The International Air Transport Association is the prime vehicle for inter-airline cooperation in promoting safe, reliable, secure and economical air services for the benefit of the world's consumers.
Rules for Any Mode of Transport (Omni-Modal)
CIP - Carriage and Insurance Paid To (named place of destination)
The seller delivers the goods to the carrier (nominated by him) but the seller must also pay the cost necessary to bring the goods to the named destination. This means that the buyer bears all risks and any additional costs occurring after the goods have been delivered. However, in CIP the seller also has to procure insurance against the buyer's risk of loss of or damage to the goods during the carriage. The seller contracts for insurance and pays the insurance premium. Coverage obligation is only minimum therefore additional coverage must be paid by the buyer or agreed upon with the seller. CIP requires the seller to clear the goods for export.
CPT - Carriage Paid To (named place of destination)
The seller delivers the goods to the carrier (nominated by him) but the seller must in addition pay the cost of carriage necessary to bring the goods to the named destination. CPT requires the seller to deliver the goods for export.
DAP - Delivered At Place
The seller's obligation ends when he has delivered the goods to the disposal of the buyer at the named destination place, cleared for export, but not cleared for import. The seller and buyer should agree which party will be responsible for unloading. The buyer is responsible for the import clearance of the goods.
DAT - Delivered At Terminal
The seller's obligation ends when he has delivered the goods to the disposal of the buyer, unloaded from the arriving carrier at the named destination terminal, cleared for export, but not cleared for import.
The buyer is responsible for the import clearance of the goods. If the seller is also to be responsible for delivering the goods past the terminal to another place, then DAP or DDP terms should be used.
DDP - Delivered Duty Paid (named place of destination)
The seller delivers the goods to the buyer, cleared for import, and not unloaded from any arriving means of transportation at the named place of destination. The seller bears all costs and risks of brining the goods thereto, including duty, for import in the country of destination. DDP represents the maximum obligation to the seller. This term should not be used if the seller is unable directly or indirectly to obtain the import license.
EXW - Ex Works
EXW benefits for the seller. In comparison with other Incoterms rules EXW represents the minimum obligation for the seller. However, when opting for this rule the seller has to take into consideration that under EXW the buyer is not obliged to provide any information regarding the export of the goods (if applicable) to the seller. The seller might require such information for tax or other purposes for instance thus consideration of this fact is crucial. In many cases, the parties are well advised to choose FCA instead.
FCA - Free Carrier (named place)
The seller delivers the goods, cleared for export, to the carrier (nominated by the buyer) at the named place. It should be noted that the chosen place of delivery has an impact on the obligations of the loading and unloading of the goods at that place. If delivery occurs at the sellers premises, the seller is responsible for unloading. If delivery occurs at any other place, the seller is not responsible for unloading.
Rules for Sea and Inland Waterway Transport Only (Marine Only)
CFR - Cost and Freight (named port of destination)
The seller is responsible for the goods up to the point they are loaded on the vessel. Contract terms need to specify the agreed upon point that responsibility is transferred. The seller must pay the costs and freight necessary to bring the goods to the named port of destination BUT the risk of loss or damage to the goods, as well as any additional costs due to events occurring after the time of delivery, are transferred from the seller to the buyer. CFR requires the seller to clear the goods for export.
CIF - Cost, Insurance and Freight (named port of destination)
The seller delivers the goods when the freight is unloaded. As with CFR, the contract terms must specify the agreed upon point that responsibility is transferred. The seller must pay the costs necessary to bring the goods to the named port of destination BUT the risk of loss or damage to the goods, as well as any additional costs due to events occurring after delivery, are transferred from the seller to the buyer. The seller has to procure marine insurance against the buyer's risk of loss or damage to the goods during carriage. The seller contracts for insurance and pays the premium. However, the coverage obligation is only minimum therefore additional coverage must be paid by the buyer or agreed upon with the seller. CIF requires the seller to clear the goods for export.
FAS - Free Alongside Ship (named port of shipment)
The seller delivers when the goods are placed alongside the vessel at the named port of shipment. The buyer has to bear all costs and risks of loss or damage to the goods from that moment. FAS requires the seller to clear the goods for export.
FOB - Free On Board
The seller delivers the goods on board the buyer designated vessel at the port on the seller's side, cleared for export. The buyer pays the main carriage/delivery costs. Risk transfers once the goods are placed on board the ship at the loading port.
Inventory List
A document prepared by the shipper listing the kinds, quantities and values of the merchandise in a particular shipment. Craters & Freighters requires an itemized inventory prepared by the shipper for all shipments domestic and international. The inventory or packing list is instrumental for establishing not only the type, and quantity but also for establishing value per item in case of lost or damages during handling and transportation.
Ocean Freight
A freight service for transporting your products over the sea or ocean by vessel commonly referred to as a steamship. The three means of shipping products by ocean vessel are; bulk, break-bulk, and containerized. The means you select depends on the type of cargo you are shipping, the size of the shipment and the handling. Ocean transportation takes longer than shipments by air, but the cost of transportation can be lower.
Packing List
A document that more thoroughly identifies the goods to be delivered than a bill of lading or a commercial invoice. The packing list will include an itemized inventory, quantity, and value of each piece.
Written authorization from a Principal Party in Interest to file a Shippers Export Declaration (SED) or the electronic equivalent via the Automated Export System (AES record), to act as agent for export control purposes on their behalf, sign documents and arrange for transportation.
Schedule B
A Schedule B number is a classification code for exporting goods out of the United States. The Schedule B is used to track the amount of trade goods that are being exported from the U.S. The U.S. Census Bureau keeps records of the amount of exports by country/quantity, and dollar amount.
The Shippers Export Declaration (SED) is a form required by the export authorities to document an export of goods. This form is required for all U.S. Export shipments with a declared value greater than $2,500.00. Also required for shipments requiring a U.S. Department of Commerce validated export license or U.S. Department of State License regardless of value.
The Shippers Letter of Instruction (SLI) is a form completed by the shipper to authorize a carrier to issue a bill of lading or an air waybill on the shipper's behalf. The form contains all details of the shipment.

Apple re-announced iOS 6 today, the operating system that will power the iPhone 5. All iPhones back to the 3GS will receive the update.
Apple has just unveiled iOS 6 at its event in San Francisco. We first heard about some of the new features in iOS 6 back in June. In fact you can find a complete run down in iOS 6: What you need to know. Few new details were announced today. Below are a few of the major updates from iOS 5
The latest version of Apple's mobile platform will run on the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, and the new iPhone 5. It will also roll out to the iPad 2, third-generation iPad, and the fourth-generation iPod touch.
The headline features are the new Maps app which replaces Google Maps with a 3D map that you can zoom into and rotate. It also supports visual or audio turn-by-turn directions and real-time traffic updates. Then there's an upgrade for Siri, which now allows you to check up on sports scores and stats, find movie showtimes and recommendations, make reservations for dinner, post to Facebook or Twitter, and open apps directly with voice commands.
Passbook is a new app to handle tickets, boarding passes, coupons, and loyalty cards. Apple revealed a few partners: American Airlines, Ticketmaster, Starbucks, Target, Delta, Fandango, Sephora, MLB, and the Sheraton Group.
Other than that we have a host of small improvements we already knew about including a quick instant SMS or iMessage reply option when you can't take a call, a VIP list for emails, and the ability to share photo streams.
If you were wondering how the new iPhone 5 with its longer, larger screen would handle old iOS apps, the answer is letter-boxing. The apps will be automatically centered and black bands will fill in the gaps, at least until the developers can get new optimized versions into the App Store.
iOS 6 will roll out on September 19 along with a new version of iTunes custom built for it.

It's taken years, but we've finally got a range of bonafide Game of Thrones action figures. And while they're not the world's greatest figures, given the size of the license they also could have been much worse.
They're $20, have decent detail, and the likeness on some of the faces - the Hound and Tyrion especially - is pretty damn good.

Lithotripsy, which is also called extracorporeal shock wave
treatment, uses shock waves focused by ultrasound to break up
gallstones. Lithotripsy may be used alone or along
with bile acids to break up stones.
The procedure, which is now rarely performed, has been used for
people who have long-term (chronic) inflammation of the gallbladder
(cholecystitis) and who are not strong enough for surgery. But it is not
appropriate in treating sudden (acute) cholecystitis.
Lithotripsy is most effective for people who have no complications
from gallbladder disease and who have one stone that is
1 in. (20 mm) or smaller.

(Cucurbita pepo) Sugar Pie makes one of the finest pie pumpkins. Also great for soups, muffins, and pumpkin bread.
Produces small, orange pumpkins that are about 6" in diameter and 6-8 lbs each. Stores very well.

Planting Instructions:
Despite their name, winter squash don't mind the heat and will grow all summer for a fall harvest that can be stored through the winter. Winter squash can take up to 110 days to mature, so plant early!
Sow outside 2-4 weeks after average last frost and when soil temperatures have risen above 60°F. Plant seeds 1⁄2 - 1 inch deep and 12 inches apart. Thin out seedlings after they emerge. Mature bush plants should be 20 inches apart in rows that are spaced 2 feet apart. If growing a vine variety, planting in hills works well. Plant about 5 seeds per hill. After seedlings emerge and are established, thin to three plants. Stake or provide a trellis for vining varieties.
Additional Tips:
As with summer squash, consistent watering is key. Use mulch to help with maintaining soil moisture.
Bright yellow squash blossoms are irresistible to all sorts of bees, which makes these varieties very pollinator-friendly. If you find you don't have enough pollinators though, you may need to provide some assistance in the pollination process. The first flowers that bloom are always males. These appear about 40-50 days after planting. A week later the female flowers develop, which are the ones that will produce the fruit after fertilized by the male flowers. So, to help with pollination, pick the first male blooms and brush them against the female blooms.
Pests & Disease:
Many gardeners are very familiar with the pests that love our squash. I know we have certainly encountered our fair share of challenges with them! There are several insects to look out for when growing squash.
Squash Bug: One of the most serious pests is the squash bug, a dingy brownish insect 1⁄2 inch or more long,. They resist most organic pesticides, so we handpick the bugs every couple of days to keep them in check. We look for their eggs, a little smaller than sesame seeds, shiny and orange-brown, usually clustered on the underside of the leaves and remove them with the sticky side of tape.
Cucumber Beetles: These yellow spotted or striped insects look a lot like ladybugs and can quickly spread bacterial wilt to the squash. They prefer cucumbers, but any cucurbit will attract them. If the vines suddenly wilt, it could be a symptom of bacterial wilt. Remove the infected parts of the plant, but be sure to disinfect your pruners before using them again. There is no treatment for bacterial wilt, so it is important to monitor frequently for cucumber beetles. We have also found yellow sticky traps to be highly effective.
Squash Vine Borers: The adult borer resembles a wasp. It is about 1/2 inch long with a red abdomen with black dots. The larvae can damage or destroy the plant by feeding through the center of the stems, blocking the flow of water to the rest of the plant. The larvae feed for four to six weeks, then exit the stems and burrow about one to two inches into the soil to pupate. They remain there until the following summer.
We have found using row covers early on in the season to be the best method of prevention for these pests. Be sure to remove the row cover once the plants start producing female flowers to make them available for the bees to pollinate.
Harvest just before the first fall frost before temperatures drop below 33°F. When the rinds of winter squash are tough enough to resist being punctured with a fingernail, cut them with a knife, leaving a short stub of vine attached. Be patient, because only fully ripened squash will keep for months in storage. Wipe clean and store in a cool, dry area.
Companion Plants:
Plant with beans, corn, cucumber, melons, pumpkins, borage, marigold, radishes, nasturtium, oregano.

KQED 9: Fri, Jun 28, 2013 -- 8:00 PM
A number of blockbuster decisions were handed down by the Supreme Court this week dealing with same-sex marriage and voting rights. But the justices held off on ruling on the validity of affirmative action in school admissions by sending that case back to the lower courts. < br />In two landmark decisions, the high court struck down part of the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and refused to reinstate a ban on same-sex marriages in California. The decisions appear to have laid the legal groundwork for future cases challenging state laws banning gay marriage but neither decision addressed whether same-sex marriage is a fundamental right under the US Constitution. While supporters of gay rights are celebrating, opponents vow to continue their fight to preserve traditional marriage.
Earlier in the week, the sharply divided Supreme Court struck down a key provision of the historic 1965 Voting Rights Act that requires states and local districts with a history of discrimination to get federal approval to change voting laws. In a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court ruled the formula to determine which places need monitoring is out of date and ruled that Congress needs to revise the provision.
And in a decision about affirmative action, the high court questioned whether race should be a determinant in deciding college admissions at the University of Texas. The court sent the case to the lower court for further review saying that school needs to show that there are, "no workable race-neutral alternatives."
Joining Gwen Ifill to discuss the legal and policy implications as well as the political fallout from this week's Supreme Court decisions: Pete Williams of NBC News, Joan Biskupic of Reuters, Dan Balz of The Washington Post, and Amy Walter of the Cook Political Report.

KQED 9: Fri, Jun 14, 2013 -- 8:00 PM
* US and foreign intelligence agencies have determined that Syria has used chemical weapons against opposition forces multiple times over the past year. President Barack Obama has said that the use of chemical weapons by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad would cross a "red line" for the US. Late Thursday the White House announced that the US will provide military assistance to some rebel forces but released few specifics on the extent of America's involvement in Syria's civil war. Mark Mazzetti of The New York Times will have the latest on this developing story.
* Following the disclosures of the NSA's widespread anti-terrorism surveillance programs, there is a political debate over whether Edward Snowden, the former CIA contractor who leaked top-secret information, was acting as a whistleblower or traitor. Karen Tumulty of The Washington Post will have the latest on investigations into the government's data-monitoring activities and the international search for Snowden.
* On Capitol Hill, lawmakers moved forward in considering comprehensive immigration reform. The Senate is debating a bill that would strengthen border security and require all U.S. businesses to check the immigration status of new hires. Alan Gomez of USA Today will have details of the bipartisan effort to create a path to citizenship for some 11 million people currently in the country illegally and hurdles still to be faced in the House.
* Plus Joan Biskupic of Reuters will explain the significance of today's Supreme Court decision that prohibits human genes from being patented but allows artificially copied DNA to be claimed as intellectual property. Plus we'll look ahead at the three major cases yet to be decided this term dealing with same-sex marriage, affirmative action and voting rights.

* The National Security Agency (NSA) is reportedly collecting millions of Verizon customers' telephone records. Under the top-secret order, the government cannot record calls but it can obtain the telephone numbers, location, time and duration of calls. The Obama administration defends the order saying it is a critical tool in protecting the nation from terrorist threats. And while some top Republican and Democratic members of the Senate Intelligence Committee support the practice, key House Democrats are calling for an investigation into the NSA. Pete Williams of NBC News will report on why these new revelations are reigniting the debate over data mining and the scope of government surveillance since the September 11, 2001 terror attacks.
* This week President Barack Obama announced a major shakeup of his national security team. He appointed UN Ambassador Rice to succeed national security adviser Tom Donilon. Rice has been the target of harsh criticism from congressional Republicans over her handling of last year's deadly attacks on the US consulate in Benghazi, Libya.

By DAVID GREEN
Fayette village council approved a set of sidewalk specifications Thursday—a step needed in order to apply for grants to aid sidewalk construction.
The ordinance describes policy for the construction, reconstruction, repair and maintenance of sidewalks.
Walks are to be inspected annually by the village administrator or someone appointed for the job. If a complaint is received about a sidewalk, an inspection must be made within 48 hours.
Hazards include misaligned slabs greater than one inch, gaps between slabs greater than an inch, the excessive slope of slab, excessive cracks and pits, and obstructions such as shrubbery and trees that prohibit the use of a sidewalk.
Repair or installation requires a $20 zoning permit that will be refunded if the work passes inspection.
Sidewalks shall be four feet wide and four inches thick. Control joints shall not exceed five feet. Other details are available by reading the ordinance at the village office.
Once a sidewalk is inspected, a property owner will have 60 days to repair a non-compliant walk, either by hiring a contractor on their own or using a third party arranged by the village. If the work is not done within 60 days, the village will have the work done and bill the property owner.
The property owner has the option of paying the cost in a lump sum, requesting payments via water and sewer billing or having the cost placed on the property assessment.
The ordinance also includes an enhancement fee—set by council at $2.50 a quarter for all property—that will be assessed only if funding is received through the Healthy Ohio or Safe Routes to School programs. The fee would contribute to the village's matching share with the grant programs.
The ordinance also guarantees replacement by the village if a sidewalk is damaged due to maintenance or repair of water or sewer lines or other infrastructure work.
SUPPORT—Letters of support from individuals and organizations are needed for the village's effort to obtain the Healthy Ohio Community Obesity Prevention Grant. Letters should address how new sidewalks will benefit the village. Information sheets are available at the village office and the library.
WEBSITE—Council voted to have the village website moved to A Mark Above hosting service from Archbold. The annual fee is less than the current service and there's a possibility of local businesses and organizations adding a web page to the site for a nominal fee.
SEWER/WATER—Councilors gave village administrator Amy Metz permission to apply for funding through the Ohio Public Works Commission for work on West Industrial Parkway. Grants or low-interest loans would total $83,000 and the village would contribute $28,000.
The project includes a new lift station and sewer line to connect to the existing system, plus a parallel water line to better serve the northwest section of the village. The new lines would prepare the area for future development.
FIRE TRUCK—Council approved the sale of the 1974 Ford "tele-squirt" fire truck to Gorham Township at a cost of $7,000.
SPRING CREEK—After consulting with Fulton County Engineer Frank Onweller, council learned that cleaning and dredging of Spring Creek through the village would have to be done at the village's expense.
PHYSICIAN SEARCH—Three physicians have expressed an interest in serving as family practitioners in Fayette.
LAWN CARE—An amendment to the lawn maintenance ordinance was approved. A sign will be placed in the yard of property owners who are not complying with the maintenance ordinance. The sign must be returned to the village office in good condition or a $500 fine will be assessed.
EAGLE STREET—Metz reported that the final cost of the washout repair on Eagle Street was about $8,500 which is more than $3,000 under the estimated cost.
THANKS—Thanks were expressed to the Bull Thistle Committee members and others involved in helping with a successful festival.
Paul Shaffer noted that Tom Franks spends several hours overseeing the fireworks set-up on festival day before setting up sound equipment for music.

With 50,000 acres of water Bull Shoals Lake has enough room for everyone. If you have your own boat, great! You can park right at our dock in your own free slip! We have 2 floating docks for a total of 14 slips with electric to each stall. There is also a fish cleaning station at our dock. If you don't have your own boat or personal watercraft, you can rent one from us or the nearby marina!
Boats available for rental
All cottage rentals receive one free boatslip. We have 4 Pontoon boats available for rent if your fishing party is larger or you just want to cruise around the lake in shaded comfort.
|Pontoon Boat
Pontoon boat rental rates do not include gas and oil. Please call for weekly rates.
Fishing is excellent on Bull Shoals
Fishing is excellent all year with peak action in March, April, and May. The lake's clear water holds Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass, Kentucky Spotted Bass, Crappie, Walleye, White and Striped Bass, Rainbow Trout, Lake Trout, Bluegill and Catfish.
In addition to the lake, trout fisherman will find moving waters not too far away. Both the White (feeds Bull Shoals Lake) and North Fork (feeds Lake Norfork) Rivers offer excellent trout fishing. A 1988 world record brown was caught on the North Fork River weighing in at 38 pounds, 9 ounces!
A unique feature of this area is a YEAR-ROUND TROUT SEASON. Trout Fisherman can enjoy fishing all year long, escaping the closed season of their home states. With this benefit do come some added regulations. Some waters are designated strictly "catch and release" seasonally, such as the Bull Shoals State Park area, so be sure to check the current Arkansas Fishing Regulations Handbook.
You can obtain everything you need to get fishing right at our resort: licenses, trout stamps, regulations handbooks, ice, and bait. For your convenience you can find an online version of the Arkansas Fishing Regulations Handbook here. You may want to look it over so you can plan your trip and fishing areas accordingly.
Our fishing blog, The Fishin' Hole, is also a resourceful tool to let you know what, where and when we're catching and when we're just fishing!
Fun on and in the water
During the summer months at Bull Shoals Lake, water sports are very popular. Swimming, water skiing, jet skiing, wake boarding, diving, and swimming are popular.
Bring your own wave runner, ski boat and skis or rent from one of the many marinas on the lake. The largest marina offering rentals is only a few miles ride across the lake. We can help you get in contact with them so you can have an enjoyable time on the water.
What is there to do away from the lake?
For whatever reasons you'd like to get away from the lake, there are many local attractions and restaurants to visit in the immediate area around Batty's Resort.

Stricter security screening possible at airport
Airport officials say Minnesota passengers could face a second security screening of their carry-on bags at the gate.
Metropolitan Airports Commission spokesman Pat Hogan says the airport has begun secondary screenings on select flights. The screenings could be expanded to include every passenger on every flight, if required by the Transportation Security Administration.
If that occurs, Gov. Pawlenty says he may call up National Guard soldiers to help with the screening. He added that the state is well-prepared for a potential terrorist attack. He says more state patrol officers are on duty near the airport, and Hennepin County sheriff's deputies are patrolling the airport.
In the hours after the terrorist alert was issued, lines at security checkpoints at the Twin Cities airport were longer than usual.
Travelers waiting to pass through the screening points were not, however, stacked as deep as they were five years ago following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
At every checkpoint, airline employees tried to move things along by making sure travelers knew about the heightened security measures.
Mark Slayter, who lives west of the metro area in Norwood-Young America, was on he was to Salt Lake City for a business appointment. He ended up checking the bag he normally carries on to comply with the new "no liquids" rule.
Like many of the people at the airport, Slater was not necessarily happy about restrictions. But he took it in stride.
"I heard it all this morning on the way over here. Everybody's concerned about it, I'm sure," said Slayter. "I think we're in good shape, and I think we know what's going on and I am glad to hear about that. It seems like there's a sense of urgency -- I mean, you're out here, everybody's got their head on a swivel. I think they're paying attention."
Travels who were unable to repack newly banned items into checked luggage filed airport garbage cans with the contraband.
Airport employee Samson Getachew was busy removing the trash from the terminal.
"Not as usual, it's more garbage here. There is pop and some stuff like that," said Getachew.
Federal officials are asking not only that travelers remove liquids from their carryons. They want people to stick to the basics, and bring only items they really need through the checkpoints so that screeners can quickly search carry-on luggage.
They are allowing baby formula and medicine.
Ian Burk, who flew into the Twin Cities from Louisville early Thursday, said fellow passengers were talking about the alleged terrorist plot and the new carry-on restrictions.
"One lady talked to me about it a little bit because I hadn't actually heard the news report," said Burk. "It's amazing to see how quickly we responded ... in an organized fashion."
While most travelers seemed good natured about the new rules, some were angry.
Jessica James, who flew in from Columbus, Ohio, was aware of the reasons for the heightened screening, but found the ban on liquids unnecessary. It cost her an $80 bottle of perfume.
"I heard a lot of people say stuff about it. There was a guy that travels all of the time, and he had contact solution and he had to get rid of that. And he said, 'What's this all about?' I just don't understand it," said James.
By the middle of the day, officials were saying lines at checkpoints were no longer than they usually are on summer weekday.
Northwest Airlines, the dominant carrier at the Twin Cities airport, was suggesting that passengers forgo carry-on items altogether and check all their luggage, to minimize check-in time.
The airline also advised its passengers to arrive two hours before domestic flights and three hours before flights to international destinations.

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...This hearty chowder is easy to make but it is expensive to prepare. That being said, if you can afford it, this is one-pot cooking at its finest and I make it a point to serve it at least once each summer. The chowder is traditionally made with salt cod, though any firm fresh fish can be substituted if you don't want to be bothered with soaking the salted variety. While I have my clams shucked at the fish market, the job can be easily done at home if you put the clams in the freezer and chill them until their hinge muscles relax. If you happen to have a fennel bulb in your fridge, by all means slice and cook it along with the onions. It makes a wonderful addition to the chowder. Another addition, not included in the recipe, is a cup or two of small shrimp or bay scallops. Because I serve this so infrequently, I tend to go all out when I make it and my chowder is light on potatoes and heavy on seafood. I like to serve it with a green salad and crusty bread and I've found the combination to be substantial enough to serve for guests. Here is how it is made.
Portuguese Clam Chowder...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite inspiredby Emeril LaGasse
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 to 8 ounces linguica, chopped
1 cup chopped onions
3 stalks celery, finely diced
2 cups peeled, seeded and chopped tomatoes
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1-1/2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and diced
2 dozen cherrystone clams, shucked, in their liquid
1/2 pound fresh cod or salt cod, soaked, rinsed and diced
2 cups chicken stock
4 cups dry white wine
1/2 cup finely chopped parsley
Salt and pepper to taste
Heat olive oil in a large pan. When oil shimmers, add linguica and cook until it begins to render fat, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add onions and celery and continue to cook until vegetables wilt, about 3 minutes longer. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in tomatoes and garlic, saute for 2 minutes. Stir in potatoes, reserved clam liquid and salt cod. Add chicken stock and white wine. Season with salt and pepper. Bring liquid up to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Simmer for 15 minutes. Add clams and parsley, cover, and continue simmering for 3 minutes. Ladle the chowder in a shallow bowl. Yield: 6 to 8 servings.

Why are your pre-made brands/logos so cost effective?
We deal with lots of custom client work in our day to day operation (Since 2005) and provide multiple custom concepts for our clients to choose from. The client chooses 1 design out of the 5 or 10 concepts we provide to be finalized and they receive full copyrights to that 1 design. The remaining design concepts they didn't choose remain our copyrights since we are the ones that created them. We then list (Cherry Pick) some of the better concepts in our shop here for a flat rate sale with full copyright transfer upon purchase.
So, in short, because we deal in such a large scale of custom conceptual designs with only 1 being purchased by one on one clients, it allows us to provide the design concepts not chosen that we still own the copyrights to for sale in the design shop at a more cost effective rate.
Do the brands/logos come with font files?
No, We sell the copyrights to the actual design element and not the fonts. Using the master files delivered to you (Outlined above), you can easily open up all the layers of the design and add your own fonts (Using a vector based design software). The font/text you see with the brand/logo graphic in the concept is merely for demonstration purposes so you can get an idea of how the brand/logo will look once you add your company name to it.
This unique logo is ONLY being sold once and the buyer will obtain all copyrights once the transaction is complete and they take possession of all the master files listed above.
If you need assistance adding text to a logo with your details, we can assist you for an additional fee or if you would rather get a free quote for our custom brand/logo service, you can contact us here.

'Men In Black 3': A Cartoonish Blast To The Past
Men In Black 3
- Director: Barry Sonnenfeld
- Genre: Sci-Fi Action Comedy
- Running Time: 106 minutes
Rated PG-13 for sci-fi action violence and brief suggestive content
With: Will Smith, Tommy Lee Jones, Josh Brolin, Emma Thompson
From the Department of Inessentiality, Summer Division, comes Men in Black 3, one of those franchises that lost all creative life in the first sequel but keep drawing breath anyway, thanks to an iron lung powered by a half-billion dollars in worldwide grosses.
The concept of a secret agency devoted to controlling Earth's undercover alien population can only seem novel once, and the Odd Couple dynamic between Will Smith's chatty, effervescent newcomer and Tommy Lee Jones' irascible veteran has a shelf life, too. To merely rinse and repeat for the third entry, adding only new creatures and the obligatory 3-D effects, would have buried it deeper into the ground.
Introducing time travel to a series that has never raised that possibility sounds like a desperate ploy, drafting off Back to the Future much like young Marty McFly drafted off cars on his skateboard. Perhaps it wouldn't seem like a stretch for such a high-tech agency to disrupt the space-time continuum, but taking the franchise out of its natural habitat is what happened when Fonzie jumped the shark. Perhaps that's why it took a full decade to make the second Men in Black sequel.
And yet director Barry Sonnenfeld, working from a script by Etan Cohen (Tropic Thunder), gets just enough juice out of the time-travel idea to give Men in Black 3 a lift. A plot that has Smith's Agent J going back to 1969 to save his partner — and the world — allows for ample opportunities to riff on American history and introduces an uncanny Josh Brolin as Jones' younger self, which twists a tired buddy-movie partnership in subtle and often clever new directions.
As the film opens, a dangerous new threat emerges in "Boris the Animal," a creature so deadly that he has spent the past 40 years chained up in a prison on the moon. The man who put him there? None other than Jones' Agent K, who shot off Boris' arm in the process.
When Boris escapes from prison, steals a time-travel device and goes back to July 16, 1969, to kill K in a showdown at Cape Canaveral, J sets his own device 24 hours earlier in an attempt to warn his future partner and avoid a full-on alien invasion.
Though there are some callbacks to the first two movies, Men in Black 3 doesn't expect viewers to remember some complicated mythology — in that respect, it serves as its own memory-wiping "neuralizer" — and the streamlined plot is unusual and refreshing for a time-travel movie. (Just don't think about the what-ifs for too long.)
Sonnenfeld's best movies function like elaborate Rube Goldberg contraptions, with visual gags popping out on a precise calibration of gears and springs, and Cohen's script, however derivative, is a stable apparatus.
As soon as Smith makes a leap in time, zipping past dinosaurs and plunging through a World War II ticker-tape parade, Sonnenfeld turns Men in Black 3 into an alternate history that operates somewhere between a Warner Brothers cartoon and the cantina scene in Star Wars.
Within the 24-hour window, the film zips from Andy Warhol's Factory to the Apollo 11 launch while keeping up a lively banter between Smith and Brolin's K, who hasn't quite calcified into the mirthless grouch that he'll have become 40 years later.
Though other newcomers like Flight of the Conchords co-star Jemaine Clement (as Boris) and A Serious Man's Michael Stuhlbarg (as an alien who can see possible futures) make strong impressions, Men in Black 3 belongs to Brolin, whose Tommy Lee Jones impersonation is so scarily precise that it often sounds like Jones is overdubbing him.
But it's not just skillful caricature, either: When the film gets sentimental about J and K's friendship, Brolin finds the right emotional register as a young agent who isn't quite set in his ways. In a franchise that could also be too set in its ways, his flexibility makes all the difference.
