On a block of 8th Street NW that's occupied on Wednesdays in the warmer months by the Penn Quarter farmers' market, Frederik De Pue — whose similarly minimally named Table was a breakout dining-scene hit in 2013 —has opened the multi-faceted Menu MBK. That's equal parts market, bistrobar, and kitchen to us.
MBK taps into the rising demand for locally sourced, high-end, farm-to-table(or perhaps farm-to-rough-hewn-wood-shelf-to-our-kitchen-counter) products. Like Mount Pleasant's Each Peach and Chevy Chase's Little Red Fox, the market bit of MBK purveys goods that are, yes, curated from vendors like Pennsylvania's Bounty Hill Farms and D.C.'s only juice producer, Gouter.
But Menu MBK isn't simply a myriad stocking of tasty pickles, macarons, and juices made with spirulina. From 5 p.m. to close, full restaurant service, along with an extensive draft list of Belgian beers, is available in the "bistrobar," which features dishes such as grilled quail, crispy sunchokes and Belgian waffles for dessert. (During the day, avail yourself of the space—and its free wifi—by eating a lunch of MBK's prepared foods there.)
The six-seat chef's table takes reservations for two seatings— 6 p.m. and 8 p.m.—Tuesday through Saturday (call 202-347-7491). The intimate, exclusive setting takes atmospheric cues from MBK's neighbor, José Andrés' nearly unattainable Minibar, without the pricey sting: A five-course tasting menu runs a quite reasonable $65 per person for dishes like skate wing and lambic beef. Now that's something we hope to sink our teeth into.
Menu MBK Offers Quite the Trifecta of Tastiness

Another postponing of the court process
Archbishop Jovan will spend four months in detention without being brought to a trial that has already been started.
The authorities in R. Macedonia, eleventh year in a row, upon the demands of the schismatic Macedonian Orthodox Church (MOC), are performing state persecution on religious basis against Archbishop Jovan of Ohrid and the Orthodox Ohrid Archbishopric! The mentioned persecution is most illustratively demonstrated with the long, rigged court processes against Archbishop Jovan and the refusal for registration in the courts of the pan-orthodoxly recognized Church in our homeland – the Orthodox Ohrid Archbishopric.
Characteristic of the current state of the latest court persecution against the Archbishop, Bishops, monastics and faithful people of the Orthodox Ohrid Archbishopric were the persistent, indicative delays of the court hearings, which seems to have as background the insisting of the synod of the schismatic MOC, with the purpose to cause as much harm as possible to Archbishop Jovan!
The last court hearing was held on December 11 last year. After the hearings on January 16, and then on February 20 were postponed, now also the hearing on March 14 is postponed!
Why are the court hearings being postponed? Why is Archbishop Jovan spending four months in a dark and stifling room with a visibly deteriorated health, without being brought to trial? Why is he continued to be held in detention when the hearings are not taking place? Where does the interest originate from, to simply not perform the started court process in such a long time period?
To the ones that insist on the detention, the answer to these questions seems undoubtedly clear: the longer Archbishop Jovan is found in the present, cruel condition, the more likely is his destruction!

Pairing the low-rates of an FHA loan with a HUD home one of the best home-buying deals you can get! HUD homes are houses that were once financed with a government-backed loan. However, the owner was not able to make payments, and the home went into foreclosure. The home is now owned by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and is called a HUD home.
The government will often sell these below market value, but the perks don't stop there!
Hud homes aren't usually listed on traditional real estate websites, and bidding gets competitive fast. We encourage working with a realtor familiar with HUD home buying. Please contact us for trusted recommendations.
HUD home availability changes quickly, and the bidding competition even faster. So in addition to having a knowledgeable realtor guiding you, you'll want to be ready with your FHA loan approval letter.
The process is simple, and you can start right now, using our digital loan application!
Not using an FHA loan? You can still buy a HUD home!
Although HUD homes are government-owned, you aren't limited to government financing from FHA or VA loans. You can also purchase a HUD home with a Conventional loan. Also, there's no special qualification process to buy a HUD home. However, you will be required to own the property for a year before listing it for sale again.
Interested in buying a HUD home? We don't blame you! The savings you gain from purchasing a home from the government are many. And when you combine it with the advantages of government-backed loans like a VA or FHA, your savings snowballs.
No matter which loan you choose, remember to be ready to move quickly with your approval letter. Start the application today, and you could have your home in time to enjoy summertime grilling in your new home!

For 2014, most of the world's bicycles will be built in Asia, but Italian road bike brands are still forging ahead, with manufacturers such as De Rosa, Colnago and Pinarello all proud of their heritage.
The limited edition Sessanta De Rosa range, for example, celebrates 60 years of Italian bicycle craftsmanship, with custom models in steel, aluminum, titanium and carbon. With price tags of up to €11,000, 60 bikes will be made in each of the four materials at the company's Italian factory.
Elsewhere, Pinarello have been showing off the winning Tour de France bikes of Chris Froome at Eurobike 2013, complete with grease on the stay from chainslap. And Basso have displayed an interesting stem and headset spacer design that neatly matches head tube width.

"Rumors" (1988), now running at Old Academy Players in East Falls, is a self-described farce that verges on slapstick. Director Barbara Pease Weber makes the most of a Neil Simon script that is both funny and troubled.
Here is the story: A group of friends plan to celebrate the 10th wedding anniversary of Charles Brock, the deputy mayor, and his wife Myra. But as they arrive they discover Myra is missing and Charles has shot himself in the ear.
His friends are desperate to cover-up the matter. Chris (Jean Laustsen) and Ken (Jim Golden) are a pair of high flying lawyers, comically incapable of dealing with the crisis at hand. Claire (Brenna McBride) and Lenny (Steve Negro) arrive. Fresh from the car crash, all they can do is nurse their separate injuries.
Later we meet Cookie (Norma Kider), a TV cook show hostess, and her husband Ernie (Joseph Carney), a well intentioned but ineffectual psychiatrist. The final couple is Glen (Brian Smith), a professional politician, and Cassie (Rhonda Goldstein), his abused and abusive wife.
The lies and subterfuges pile up until the friends literally trip over each other. The actors are a hoot. I loved watching them, and with just a little story tweaking, anyone could be "the star." Finally, no-nonsense, Officer Welch (Rocco Amato) arrives and brings these capers to a preposterous conclusion.
A satirical image emerges. We are in a wealthy New York suburb. These bunglers are the "successful" people — lawyers, doctors, politicians, television stars — the utterly self-absorbed, newly rich. Their marriages seem even more funny once you realize that these couples will probably stay together.
But is "Rumors" really a play? The Old Academy production is cerebral and amusing. But for me, Neil Simon's best works are his character-driven, dark comedies. "Rumors" feels more like a throwback to his Sid Caesar days of screwball humor.
Even his story telling format here is reminiscent of '50s television. Four married couples enter Charlie's home in measured succession, and each couple gets the chance to do their shtick. The steady parade of oddballs keep you entertained in cabaret fashion.
But from the standpoint of drama, "Rumors" never shakes off its main problem. Why is the threat of a scandal so important that all these people are desperate to cover it up? What is their stake in the matter? Even as you are being entertained, you realize that all this antic behavior is unmotivated.
Neil Simon subtitles "Rumors" as "a farce." But even farce, with all its exaggerations, has its own world of plausibility. With "Rumors," the story premise is merely a pretext that gives a theater troupe an excuse to perform.
Old Academy Players is located at 3540-44 Indian Queen Lane. "Rumors" will run through June 26. Reservations at 215-843-1109.

The amazing Hubble Telescope
You may have seen some of the awesome pictures from the Hubble Space Telescope. These pictures were actually taken by the Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2) that flies aboard the Hubble.
This camera is very sensitive to the faintest light, and it can focus on objects very far away.
Instead of trying to read newspapers, WFPC2 focuses on the faintest and most far away objects in the universe. They include other galaxies, cloudy bubbles of gas from dying stars, and gassy regions that are the nurseries where stars are born.

The lightweight fluid video system MVK500AM includes the fluid video head (60mm half ball) MVH500A and the twin leg video tripod MVT502AM (aluminum, middle spreader).
The MVH500A is a lightweight head with a wider platform for HDSLR bodies and the sliding plate travels to balance the latest interchangeable lens cameras. The entry-level 500 ensures smooth shots and fine control with up to 5kg (11 lbs) of equipment. It's the most compact head in our successful Bridging Technology range.
MVH500A is supplied with a 60mm half ball video tripod mount and it also replaces the Manfrotto 701HDV video head. Beautifully smooth shots: the 500 has professional fluid cartridges on both pan and tilt axes to ensure that every camera movement is smooth, controlled and precise.
Faster, easier and safer to use: the side lock system allows the camera and sliding QR plate to click quickly into the head from above, instead of needing to be aligned and slid in from the back. No secondary safety lock is necessary. The side lock system also makes it quicker and simpler to lift the camera out of the head from above.
The 500 has a pre-set counterbalance of 2.4kg (5.3 lbs), but is able to support equipment of up to 5kg (11 lbs). The 500 has one Easy Link 3/8" connector to allow an external monitor or other accessory equipment to be fitted.
The MVT502AM video tripod is a traditional 2-stage, aluminium twin-tube video tripod that has professional features yet is designed to be intuitive, user-friendly and suited to lightweight applications. The MVT502AM has telescopic aluminium legs for compactness and reduced weight; its innovative ellipse-profile tubing with redesigned leg locking collars give it excellent levels of rigidity and stability.
The first-stage spreader has improved ergonomics and ease of use, while the tripod's rubber feet improve grip on all floor and ground surfaces. A rubber strap ensures easier, safer transport.
Supplied with padded carrying bag.

The Yon family, owners of Yon Family Farms in Ridge Spring, S.C., has received the National Environmental Stewardship Award for their commitment to conserving natural resources.
Kevin and Lydia Yon, both Clemson University graduates, and their three children, Sally, Drake and Corbin, received the award Jan. 29 at the 2009 Cattle Industry Annual Convention in Phoenix.
Lydia graduated in 1987 with a bachelor's degree and in 1989 with a master's, both in animal science. Kevin graduated in 1988 with a bachelor's degree, also in animal science. Their daughter Sally, a high school senior, has applied to Clemson to study agriculture education.
Lydia said the family did not know they were to receive the award until their name was read at the awards ceremony. The Yons were one of seven regional finalists who traveled to Phoenix.
"It's humbling," Lydia said the day after returning to the family farm from Arizona. "The other operations that were in contention for the award were all so good."
The award — now in its 18th year — recognizes cattle producers who successfully combine environmental stewardship with business sense to create a more sustainable operation.
It is presented by the National Cattlemen's Foundation and is sponsored by Dow AgroSciences, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
The Yons started their Saluda County farm 12 years ago with 100 cows on 100 acres. Today they manage 1,200 acres of pasture and 300 acres of crops and more than 800 brood cows, most of which are purebred Angus.
During that time the Yons implemented practices that protect the land on which they make a living.
Their environmental efforts include irrigating crops with pond water using an efficient, low-pressure watering system; managing farm ponds to encourage healthy wildlife habitats; and installing 28 water troughs and more than 55,000 feet of fencing for rotational grazing on pasture land.
Dave Petty, chairman of the Environmental Stewardship Award selection committee and 2001 national award winner, described the Yons as "everyday environmentalists."
"The Yon family is proof that environmental and economic sustainability go hand-in-hand," Petty said. "They have built a successful business while also doing their part to protect and enhance the natural resources that sustain this industry."
Yon Family Farms was nominated for the award by the Saluda Soil and Water Conservation District.

For the past month, all four pages of the Homestead Act have been on display at the Homestead National Monument of America near Beatrice, Nebraska. This was the first time the Act had been on display outside of Washington, D.C. and the first time all four pages have been publicly displayed as a unit.
The major events celebrating the Homestead Act at the monument have drawn to a close and the folding chairs under the Chautauqua tent were packed up yesterday morning. Tomorrow is the last day that the Homestead Act will be on display in Nebraska.
Yesterday morning, I took off on the short drive to Beatrice to spend the morning at the Homestead National Monument of America and to see the Homestead Act.
|Honor to the Homestead States
The entrance to the Heritage Center is lined with outlines of each state where homesteads were issued. The cutouts on each graphic represent the proportional amount of land that was homesteaded in each state.
As you can see, a significant portion of Nebraska was open to homesteaders.
I have ancestors who were homesteaders. On Fold3.com, I have discovered the homestead documents of my 2nd great grandfathers, John Bellinger and Daniel Landon, as well as other affiliated family members.
Reading those documents provides much insight to the lives my ancestors lived. To "prove up," the homesteaders had to submit documentation that they had lived on the property for at least five years and describe the improvements made to the property. This usually meant that friends or relatives had to attest to knowing the homesteader and describe the improvements.
|Palmer-Epard Cabin
|The Freeman Graves
Down the hill from the Heritage Center are the graves of Daniel and Agnes Freeman. Freeman was the very first homesteader. The 160 acres of land occupied by the Homestead National Monument of America are on the very homestead where the Freemans lived and worked.
|The Homestead Act of 1862
As might be expected, stepping up to view the Homestead Act was a breathtaking and emotional experience. As I read the first words of the document, my eyes filled with tears, realizing that I was connected to this piece of history through my ancestors. It also saddened me, knowing how many of our Native population was displaced because of this westward expansion.
Roaming the grounds of the monument was quiet, peaceful and calming. At times, I did feel as though I had been taken back in a time machine to the lands settled by my ancestors.
Should your travels bring you through Nebraska, I certainly can recommend you make plans to visit the Homestead National Monument of America.

Kilimanjaro - http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/IOTD/view.php?id=79641
The views from the top of Mount Kilimanjaro—a 5,895-meter (19,341-foot) dormant stratovolcano in Tanzania—are as surreal as they are spectacular. After ascending through multiple ecosystems—including cropland, lush rainforest, alpine desert, and a virtual dead zone near the summit—climbers can find themselves peering down on a thick blanket of clouds below that seems to stretch endlessly in the distance.
But in the immediate foreground, ice dominates the view. Looking north, a shelf-like block of ice with a sharp vertical cliff sits on an otherwise featureless, sand-covered plateau. In the other direction, a second ice field spills off the edge of the plateau, down the mountain's southern face.
Kimberly Casey, a glaciologist based at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, was savoring the views from Kilimanjaro's summit and caldera when she snapped these panoramic images of Kilimanjaro's northern (middle) and southern (bottom) ice fields. The Advanced Land Imager on NASA's Earth Observing-1 satellite acquired the top image, which shows some of the same ice fields from above on October 26, 2012.
Casey was taking part in a September 2012 research expedition to Kilimanjaro to study the ice at the summit. For scale, bright tents that were part of the scientists' base camp are visible in the lower left of the northern ice field image.
Despite Mount Kilimanjaro's location in the tropics, the dry and cold air at the top of the mountain has sustained large quantities of ice for more than 10,000 years. At points, ice has completely surrounded the crater. Studies of ice core samples show that Kilimanjaro's ice has persisted through multiple warm spells, droughts, and periods of abrupt climate change.
But trends beginning more than a century ago suggest Kilimanjaro's peaks may soon be ice-free. Between 1912 and 2011, the mass of ice on the summit decreased by more than 85 percent. Researchers say it's no longer a question of whether the ice will disappear but when. Estimates vary, but several scientists predict it will be gone by 2060.
Rising air temperatures due to global warming could be contributing to the ice loss, but a number of other factors are just as important, if not more so. An increasingly dry regional atmosphere, for example, is starving the mountain of the fresh snow needed to sustain the ice fields. Drier air is also reducing cloud cover and allowing more solar energy to warm the ice surfaces.
Casey and colleagues noticed yet another ominous sign during their 2012 expedition. The northern ice field, which had been developing a hole since the 1970s, has separated. "This was the first year that the northern ice field completely divided into two," said Casey. "We were able to walk on land—or we could have even ridden a bicycle—directly through the rift."

Lolly Wolly Doodle will use Facebook next week to offer assistance to Crisis Ministry of Davidson County.
Lolly Wolly Doodle will use Facebook next week to offer assistance to Crisis Ministry of Davidson County.
The nonprofit organization has been in the news lately seeking help with a bed bug problem. Within the past two weeks, executive director Gayle Whitehead has asked government officials for one-time allocations to help replace beds and mattresses that have been infected. The Davidson County Board of Commissioners denied the request, and the Lexington City Council has not made a decision.
Plans are for the agency to have a heat treatment and installation of new furnishings Tuesday.
Brandi Tysinger Temple, founder and owner Lolly Wolly Doodle, said she saw what was going on and wanted to do something for the agency because Crisis Ministry helps the community and houses children at the shelter.
"It was a great opportunity for us to help others," Temple said. "It was near and dear to us. God blessed us. It's our job and desire to help other people. As a company, it's what we're all about."
The children's clothing company will put up a picture taken at Crisis Ministry at 7 a.m. Monday and will donate 50 cents for each "like" received until midnight Wednesday. The goal is to get 20,000 likes, which would generate $10,000.
Also the business will post a special clothing item that will be on sale at the beginning of each day with half of the proceeds going to the nonprofit organization. The items will range from inspirational T-shirts, dresses and outfits. That will take place every weekday morning and stay up all day.
To like or find out more information go to www.facebook.com/LollyWollyDoodle.
Earlier this week Revolution Growth Fund officials announced a $20 million investment in the company.
Whitehead said she appreciated the gesture from the business.
"I just can't believe it," she said. "For her to help those who are less fortunate … I think it's wonderful. It's so much needed. She wants to help those who are less fortunate."

Moose Skowron still has many, many tales to tell.

"DiMaggio had brought her to spring training one year, and we begged him to take us to dinner with her," Skowron said. "I shaved four times that day. She was great -- charming, funny, wanting to learn more about baseball.

Recipe: Individual Blackberry Bourbon Slumps
With May upon us and hot days already starting to hit Los Angeles, we've started thinking about backyard BBQs and the abundance of fruit that summer brings. Then when we found blackberries on sale at the market for $1 per container, we decided to get a jump on summer and make some individual blackberry bourbon slumps. What's a slump, you ask?
First off, we have to give credit where credit is due and if Joanna hadn't posted about Chocolate Whiskey Pots de Creme (which we went out and made that day, OMG so delicious) we wouldn" t have been as hot to add alcohol our dessert, but it was such a nice punch of flavor that we knew wanted try some bourbon with blackberries.< p>But what's a slump, you ask? Well, according to Emma, it's similar to a grunt but instead of being steamed on the stove, it's baked in the oven. We also wouldn't blame you if you simply called it a cobbler, since the differences are few. In a slump, you fill dish with fruit (often berries) and cover it with a sweet biscuit or dumpling type dough and then you bake it. Slumps are called that because of the way the dessert will slump on the plate once you serve it. Since these are individual ramekins of slump, you'll be missing out on that aspect.
We used this recipe from Relish as a jumping off point but opted for smaller portions and less sugar. The bourbon helps keep them from getting too sweet and it deepens the flavor of the fruit.
Individual Blackberry Bourbon Slumps
Serves four
2 containers of blackberries (we used 1 1/2 plus some strawberries)
1/2 cup sugar, divided
1 1/3 cups, plus 1 tablespoon, all-purpose flour, divided
Grated rind from 1 lemon
1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons bourbon or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, divided
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup whole milk or buttermilk
Heat oven to 375°F.
Combine berries, half the sugar, 1 tablespoon flour, the lemon zest and juice, bourbon, cinnamon, 1⁄8 teaspoon salt and 2 tablespoons butter and mix carefully.
Spoon into 4 individual sized greased ramekins.
Mix the rest of the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and baking soda in a large bowl. Cut in 2 tbsp of butter with a pastry blender or two knives until it looks like coarse meal. Add the milk and mix until it holds together.
Drop dough by large spoonfuls over the berries.
Put the ramekins on a baking sheet and put them in the oven. We baked ours for 20-25 minutes or until the tops were browned and the berries were bubbling.
Serve it warm with some freshly whipped cream.

And with the figurines: Ouch you guys have way more money to blow than I do I guess. I have enough trouble just keeping up with buying DVDs of the series I enjoy, let alone dropping money on figures. And IMHO while I am a big fan of anime, I'm not THAT big of a fan to purpose little figures I might break and rarely look at ^_^:;

I thought that E2046 shop only did recasts. I bought some Marl Kingdom ones from whem way back in the day and they were recasts of a quality far below what was shown in their pictures.
I too preordered that Fate, so hopefully we'll all be getting them around the same time.
By modifactions I mainly meant her clothes. You see, I have a Louise figure who's skirt comes off, a Hikari figure who's skirt comes off, a Shana figure who's skirt comes off, a Yurie figure who's clothing accessories come off and a Yayoi figure who's clothes come off entirely (leaving her with only a tiny pair of panties which don't hide the detail the painter put into the figure) and not a single one said that on the box or on HLJ's website. So I just don't want any "suprises", especially if I'm not the one to crack it open. I'd dread explaining to somebody about that.
I tried to glue the clothes on so people wouldn't find out by accident, but my g/f caught me holding a figure down low with a clear/whitish goopy substance on her and let me tell you, that was embarassing and very misunderstood.

As for the 31st, that should've looked like an estimate from the start. RIGHT at the end of the month? I like how they put all the shipping details and the box in too even though it's discontinued cus they're mean like that. Should've gone for EMS, it's cheaper somehow x.X Oh well, shipped just now anyway. Yay!

Well, My GS Fate arrived today. Cutie and her resemblance is as good as it can get. The head and cloack are removable and the big semi-transparent sword can be placed in a provided transparent stand to hold it up. Fate stands on a semi-trasparent dark green magic circle. A very nice piece indeed.
Having said that, there appears to be some sort of small scratch on the back of the cape for some unknown reason, so I need to paint it a bit there. Overall, I'm very pleased, no missing part, all parts connected fine and only this minor defect for my unit. I might probably order the GS Nanoha, too, although I believe Alter's bears a greater resemblance to Nanoha out of all Nanoha figures, but GS's Nanoha has a good resemblance and is more impressive than both Movic's and Alter's. Ah... how money fly

Nanoha Takamachi 1/7 PVC
by Kotobukiya
A Photo-show follows. Any clickable pictures give you a bigger 1600x1200 version.
(Mods, I've made sure all pictures appearing here are below 20Kb in size. As again, let me know if you still want them to be taken down)
What I really like about this figurine is her expression. That mean-edge expression we don't get to see enough of. Even her lips appear to be drawn out in a cold line. Details to the eyes are incredible; I like the way they included the under-eye shadow. Together with the pose, I love this because it reminds me of all the battles where she paused, leveled her stave at the opponent and well, "made friends." XD What might be a problem here tho, is the hair framing her face. I wish it could be less oblique.
Raising Heart Exelion
Spoiler for raising heart is translucent red!:
Her shoes; with Flier Fin. They're detachable too.
Nice magical wings no?
Sadly, defects are apparent and far-ranging in this model. Spots where plastic has chipped are obvious on the waves beneath her feet and on her Flier Fin wings. Anyway, base is an attempt to recreate the "platforms" they make in mid-air; I am glad its translucent.
Did I say Pantsu?
All in all, this is a figurine of moderate quality. Colouring, expressions, proportions are all spot on; only it has obvious defects, especially with her clothes and equipment, which honestly dont seem to have been properly gone thru a finishing stage; with some edges still very rough and spots of paint missing at parts (check her cuffs). Having those detachable parts (well, at least for the Flier Fin wings) was not a good idea; much force is require to push them in, and even then they hardly fit.
Despite all these tho, as the biggest figurine I have (at 1/7) it quite literally rules my desk right now (throwing all my other figures out of proportion lol; especially thin Eruruu), and rightly so, with that mean stance and expression!

Well, Fate does have detachable parts, too, and you can take off her clock, and the sword is consisted of parts to fit properly in her hands but I believe it's a well made figure. I'll order the GC Nanoha probably soon, so I'll post my opinion about it when it arrives. Although my desktop is getting crowded - I had to move Ilya on my PC tower to have space for Fate.

LOL, blinded by panties Nah, they are there, it's pretty obvious. Digital vibrance is your friend Overall, the model seems nice from the photos. Although, between Fate and Nanoha, I am certain that if someone isn't wearing panties, it's Nanoha. Fate, for all her badass attitude in the first season and her usual battle attire comes off as pretty reserved to me.

Disneyland - Muslim Worker
LOS ANGELES (AP) — A former Disneyland employee who says she was prohibited from wearing a Muslim head scarf at work plans to sue the Walt Disney Co. for discrimination.
Imane Boudlal was a restaurant hostess at the Anaheim theme park but hasn't worked there for about two years.
Boudlal says she was barred from wearing the head scarf because it wasn't part of her approved work costume. Disney says she refused to wear a specially designed hat instead or to accept jobs away from customers.
Disney spokeswoman Suzi Brown told the Los Angeles Times that the company has a long history of accommodating the religious requests of employees.

What radionuclides can be found in food?
- All foods contain natural radionuclides.
- In addition, the Chernobyl accident and the atmospheric nuclear weapons tests gave rise to artificial radionuclides in food.
- The natural radioactivity in foods contributing to the radiation exposure to man is mainly caused by the potassium isotope Potassium-40 and the long-lived radionuclides of the uranium-radium decay chain and the thorium decay chain.
- Among artificial radionuclides, especially caesium-137 is important for the radiation exposure to man.

- Uranium-234,
- Radium-226,
- Radium-228,
- Lead-210,
- Polonium-210 and
- The thorium isotope Thorium-230, Thorium-232 and Thorium-228.
Among artificial radionuclides, caesium-137 plays an important role as to food from forests.
How do plants and animals take up radionuclides?
Radionuclides have, in part, similar chemical characteristics as nutrients. Therefore, plants and animals also take up radioactive matter with the nutrients they need for growth. The level of specific activities in foods depends on the radioactivity content of the used source media (soils, water), the availability of the nutrients and other substances from soil and water, and on other conditions at the site of the plant or animal production. Certain plants or parts of them, such as Brazil nuts, and mushrooms, such as wood hedgehog, enrich radionuclides to a high degree.
Foods can also be radioactively contaminated via the air. From soils and rocks, for example, radon-222 gets into the atmosphere and decays into its radioactive but not gaseous decay products. These can deposit on leaf surfaces and be taken up in the leaves. Of special importance are here the long-lived decay products of radon-222, the radionuclides lead-210 and polonium-210 of which higher specific activities particularly occur in leafy vegetables. Radionuclides deposited from the atmosphere onto plant-based food and animal feed also after the Chernobyl accident and the atmospheric nuclear weapons tests.
Compared with muscle meat, offal - especially livers and kidney - has higher levels of natural radionuclides, because these organs filter the harmful substances in the metabolism. Natural radionuclides can also accumulate in fish and shell fish (among others in the soft tissue of clams, prawns, lobster and shrimp), in particular lead-210 and polonium 210.
Where do the radionuclides deposit?
Depending on the plant species and the respective development and nutritional condition of the plant at the time of harvesting, the mineral distribution in the plant parts varies. These distributions influence the specific activities in plant-based foods. For example, the specific activities of the radium isotopes radium-226 and radium-228 in cereal grains are higher than those in vegetables or fruit.
Via plants and animals the deposited radionuclides get into the human food chain. The specific activity decreases in the food chain – with the exception of fish.
Potassium: Engine of the human metabolism
In the human body, a constant portion of potassium must be constantly present in order for the metabolism to work. Hence, the human body regulates its potassium content continuously. We can cover our potassium need entirely with our diet. The element potassium contains naturally occurring 0.0117 per cent potassium-40 with a specific activity of 31,6 becquerel per gram of potassium. Since this share is always the same, the potassium-40 activity can be calculated. Depending on age, gender and other factors, the potassium-40 activity of the human body is between about 40 and 60 becquerel per kilogram of body weight. The effective dose due to potassium-40 is on average 0.165 millisievert per year for adults and 0.185 millisievert per year for children.
Potassium is vital for all organisms and considerable amounts of it are mostly present in them. In plant-based foods, specific activities between 50 becquerel per kilogram of fresh mass can be found in fruit and 380 becquerel per kilogram of fresh mass in ripe peas or beans. The values are similar for products of animal origin (ca. 50 becquerel per litre in cow milk up to ca. 100 becquerel per kilogram of fresh mass in muscle meat, liver and kidneys of cattle). As a result of their manufacturing processes, milk powder and smoked sausage contain higher activities (above 180 becquerel per kilogram of fresh mass). The activity level in edible mushrooms varies between a few 10 and a few 100 becquerel per kilogram of fresh mass.
Caesium-137: Legacy of the Chernobyl accident and the atmospheric nuclear weapons tests
The Chernobyl accident particularly affected Southern Germany. Earlier, the atmospheric nuclear weapons tests gave rise to a widespread radioactive contamination of Germany. Today, food produced in Germany shows caesium-137 levels of only a few becquerel per kilogram of fresh mass or less. However, some species of edible wild mushrooms and game, in particular wild boars, might show significantly higher contamination levels.

OLYMPIA - Paula Henry's husband was murdered in 1995 in Tacoma. Lawrence Shandola, a former business partner, was convicted of Robert Henry's murder in 2001, sentenced to more than 30 years in prison.
In 2013, Shandola filed a lawsuit, alleging that Paula Henry blocked his request for a transfer to a Canadian prison, therefore causing the inmate "intentional infliction of emotional distress."
Henry had written a letter to the Department of Corrections in 2011, saying that Shandola stalked and intimidated her for five years, and "I know he will kill me." Shandola is a Canadian national.
"I'm here for the same reason you're here - to make a difference," Henry said in testimony before at a Washington State House Committee meeting last week.
House Bill 2102 would require a criminal convicted of a serious violent offense to seek permission from the court before suing their victim or their victim's family in civil court. The bill exempts lawsuits under statutes dealing with domestic relations, such as legal separation, domestic violence and child support.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Washington State opposes the bill. A spokesman said the organization supports everyone's access to the courts, and the bill is unnecessary because mechanisms already exist to filter out frivolous lawsuits.
Rep. David Sawyer (D-Ta-coma), the main sponsor, said the ACLU's argument doesn't hold water.
"All the bill does is protect the victim," he said in an interview.
Henry said she was traumatized when she found out Shandola was suing her. The lawsuit was dismissed without trial in April 2013.
The court granted Henry an award for statutory damages of $10,000, and attorney fees totaling $10,625 against Shandola, since her letter was protected under the law that grants immunity from civil liability "…for a person who communicates a complaint or information to any branch or agency of federal, state or local government."
"Please don't allow other people to live through the fear I have," Henry said to the committee during testimony.
The circumstances of Henry's case, in which a convicted criminal sues their victim, is rare. According to the Caseload Forecast Council, a state organization that produces data used by the governor and the legislature for developing the budget, there were 244 serious violent offenders in 2013 that could potentially be affected by this legislation.
The co-sponsor of the bill, Rep. Steve Kirby (D-Tacoma), offered an amendment to let the Department of Corrections determine penalties for prisoners who fail to seek a judge's permission before filing a civil lawsuit against their victim. The bill previously mandated loss of earned early-release time for failure to comply.
David Ward, staff attorney for Legal Voice, said his organization would like to expand the scope of the bill to deal with other "abusive litigation." Legal Voice is an advocacy group that protects women's legal rights in the Northwest.
He said Legal Voice wants to prevent convicted criminals from using lawsuits "…as a tool where they can continue to control and harass" their victim, and acknowledged that it is a "delicate balance" between preserving access to the courts while protecting crime victims from being victimized again.
"We don't want to prevent people from going to court with claims that are valid," Ward said.
The Tacoma lawmaker, Sawyer, said he is receptive to bill proposals with a broader scope to protect victims from harassing litigation, but wants House Bill 2102 to only address the problem of prisoners seeking to harass their victims through frivolous civil lawsuits.
Members of the House Committee on the Judiciary voted unanimously to move the bill out of committee this past Tuesday.

Wheaton College Sports Information
NORTON, Mass. - Jeff Shea posted his first career multiple-goal game in Sunday's New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Tournament championship game, leading No. 1 seed Wheaton College past No. 7 MIT, 3-0. The title game marked the third time Wheaton and MIT met for the conference crown, with the Lyons winning the two previous encounters in 2001 and 2003. The Engineers finish their season with a record of 9-9.
Despite numerous scoring opportunities from the Lyons (13-4-2) in the opening half, the teams remained deadlocked at the intermission. A header off the crossbar from Justin Hart five minutes into the contest provided Wheaton's first chance. With 26:15 remaining in the first stanza, MIT's Joshua Campoverde had a breakaway down the right side of the field, but Wheaton keeper David Croft made a tremendous save to keep the game scoreless.
The Lyons had multiple chances in the final 10 minutes of the half, including a negated goal by Dan Lane due to a Wheaton foul and a header off the crossbar from Trevor Cote. Cameron Habib also had an opportunity to put the Lyons on the board, but his shot was denied by Tech goalie Thomas Caldwell.
In the second half, on a free kick from James Greenslit, Shea took a header from Cote and drove his shot into the right side of the net in the 49th minute. Shea's second goal at 71:40 was also a direct result of a Greenslit free kick. Greenslit passed the ball to Ian Walker on the left side of the box, and Walker sent a short cross to Shea who finished the sequence with a header. Wheaton's third goal came on a bicycle kick from Chris Sentance in the 84th minute. Habib found Sentance in the top left of the box, who placed his shot past Caldwell into the right side of the goal.
Croft turned aside four shots while Caldwell accounted for four stops.

Since signing with hometown squad Harrisburg City back in March, former Lipscomb soccer star Garret Pettis has worked hard to build his reputation as a hard-nosed forward and earn playing time for an Islanders squad that ranks fifth in the United Soccer League after 13 games.
Pettis, who exited Lipscomb as the school's all-time leading scorer after last season, has fit in nicely with his new teammates. The 6-foot forward has appeared in 12 USL matches, garnering his first professional goal on June 1 against Richmond in a 1-1 draw.
Lipscomb Sports talked with Pettis about the transition to the pros, facing MLS squads and his improvement since joining his team.
LS: How has the adjustment been for you?
GP: It's coming together slowly. I expected to have some growing pains, especially since I missed a lot of preseason activities due to school commitments. Now I'm just trying to make the most of my opportunities, which are coming earlier in games now.
LS: I'm sure scoring your first goal must have been a thrill.
GP: Such an amazing feeling. It had been a few games since I had really done anything offensively. I came on in the 77th and scored on what was close to my first touch. It lifted a weight off my shoulders and was huge for us, since it drew us even with Richmond in a game that was called due to lightning a short time later. As nice as just getting a goal was, making it count in a tight game was even better.
LS: You scored twice in a friendly against Philadelphia Union of the MLS. How much of a boost was that?
GP: It was a tremendous confidence builder. It was my first start; even though it was a friendly, it showed that I could capitalize on my opportunities and opened the door for more chances in the future.
LS: Speaking of facing MLS foes, tell me about Harrisburg City's run in the U.S. Open Cup. How much of a role did you get to play in it?
GP: It was incredible for us. We showed resilience as a team and really opened some eyes. My first appearance was against New England on May 29 and it was the craziest game I've ever been a part of. Tied after regulation, New England scored three goals in the first extra time period before we scored three in the games' last ten minutes to tie it up before we won on penalty kicks. It was special to be part of that.
LS: How are you guys stacking up in the USL right now?
GP: We're fifth right now, and most of the teams ahead of us have played a game or two more. We had a rough road patch that included losses to Orlando and Charleston, but we have some very winnable games ahead of us on the schedule. We hope to be in second or third before the play offs.
LS: You're on the road a lot. How much of a physical and mental toll does that take?
GP: Traveling really zaps your energy level. I had never thought there was a competitive advantage to being at home, but not having to travel and spend time on a bus or plane or hotel room is an advantage, no question. I will say that it's easier to focus on the road, but it's very monotonous.
LS: What's been the biggest surprise about this level of soccer?
GP: How important the little details are. There's a lot of work, not just in practices but on your own to become better. You have to be self-motivated and you have to work out on your own whether it's staying late after practice or just getting some time in the gym.
LS: Going forward, what do you have to do to continue playing at this high level?
GP: It's important to remember the hard work that got me here and to focus on being a complete player. Coming out of college, I was solely focused on putting the ball in the net but here you have to value possession and know that the goals will come. I have to maximize that to be the best I can be.
LS: What did you learn at Lipscomb that's helped you so far?
GP: I learned about chemistry and fitting in with the team and that's been big for me in my first season here. It's a team sport and we all have to work together. Like I mentioned earlier, the little things are more important than ever at this level and buying into a lot of what my coaches at Lipscomb taught me has been helpful.

Peter Taunton made one woman very happy last month. The CEO of Snap Fitness, Chanhassen, MN, traveled to Albany, GA, with Snap Fitness COO Gary Findley on Oct. 11 to present a Snap Fitness franchise worth $250,000 to Charlice Noble-Jones, the winner of the Partner with Peter contest conducted by Snap Fitness.
More than 2,000 people entered the contest, which required people to share why they thought they would be a good Snap Fitness franchisee. Noble-Jones, a teacher at Lamar Reese Magnet School of the Arts, had quite a story to tell. The Howard University graduate was working on Wall Street at the time of the 9-11 attacks. Two years later, she lost her husband to pancreatic cancer. In his last few days of his life, her husband made her promise to move on with her life and start to plan and dream, Noble-Jones told WCCO-TV in Minneapolis. He made her promise that she and her son, Preston, would be happy.
Those words spurred Noble-Jones to spend her life giving back to her community. She became a fourth grade social studies teacher. She also began exercising to improve her physical fitness. Her fitness journey spurred her to dream of owning a gym where she could help others.
"I'm shocked, I'm excited, I'm so extremely happy," Noble-Jones said in a release from Snap Fitness. "Things have happened in my life like the other shoe has fallen, but this has such a positive impact. I believe that I'm about to live the life I was born to live."
Taunton will work with Noble-Jones on a monthly basis monitoring her marketing and sales. She plans to continue teaching for a couple of years while she gets her business off the ground.
"As an entrepreneur myself, I know the importance of guidance for anyone embarking on a new business venture," Taunton said in the release. "This contest gives me a great chance to pass along my knowledge and business experience to one deserving individual."
The prize includes the building, equipment, site selection, initial rent and working capital to get Noble-Jones started.
Noble-Jones' club is scheduled to open in mid-January, according to Patrick Strait, communications manager for Snap Fitness. She and her manager recently went through Snap University training.

Wayland resident and Noble & Greenough star Rebecca Gilmore was given the John Carlton Memorial Trophy, awarded to the top high school hockey player in Eastern Massachusetts, during a recent Bruins game at TD Garden.
Exactly a month after her high school career ended in heartbreaking fashion, Rebecca Gilmore got to go back rinkside and have one final rewarding moment under the lights.
But instead of being at Flood Rink in Dedham on her campus at the Noble & Greenough School, the Wayland resident was on Causeway Street on the Garden ice, accepting the John Carlton Memorial Trophy from Bruins general manager Don Sweeney.
"Yeah, it was a pretty awesome night," said Gilmore about that April 4 evening that saw the B's ice the Tampa Bay Lightning, 4-0.
The Carlton is awarded to the top high school hockey player in Eastern Massachusetts, and the forward certainly had an exceptional senior season for the Bulldogs. Gilmore had 31 goals and 22 assists for 53 points in just 25 games, powering the Bulldogs to an undefeated Independent School League season and her sixth ISL title.
Gilmore's quest for a fourth NEPSAC Division 1 title in her six varsity seasons ended in painful fashion, as Kent beat the Bulldogs, 2-1 in triple overtime, in the tournament semifinals. Gilmore logged over 50 minutes of the 90 that were played on that March 4 day at Flood Rink.
"If you're not going to win it, I couldn't ask for better way to end my career," said Gilmore. "No one wanted to give up. The resiliency we played with was amazing. Though I don't want to ever lose, it was still a good way to end my career.
"I played so much that afterward my legs cramped and I couldn't move," she added. "It was definitely an interesting experience. I've never played that much hockey in one day."
Gilmore put the second-seeded Bulldogs into the semifinals three days prior, thanks to her power-play goal late in the third period that gave Nobles a 1-0 win over Williston in the tourney quarterfinals.
"It was a close game just like we expected it would be," she said. "New England prep school hockey, from when I came in as a seventh grader to now as a senior, has just gotten more and more competitive. The talent and growth of women's hockey as a whole has been amazing to see. We didn't even know what ranking we were going to get, the top eight were so close, so we knew Williston was going to be tough."
"The goal came late in the third period on a 5-on-3 power play. Right as the first penalty ended, I was able to just put one in. That's what it took to get that goal. That's how tough a game it was."
The Bulldogs finished 26-4-1 on the season. Gilmore was named to the All-ISL team for the third time, won the league MVP award and was a NEPSAC first-team all-star for the third time. In her six-season career at Nobles, she had 128 goals and 106 assists for 234 points in just 168 games. Winning the Carlton was the perfect topper to her historic career.
"I've always known about the Carlton Award, because Nobles had a lot of students win that," she said. "It's one of the best awards I've won. It's a real honor, because it's not just about the hockey part but also about the student part, and I take both seriously. There were a lot of great players in the running, so it was pretty awesome to get it."
Gilmore is now gearing up for her final weeks of high school and her graduation on June 2. Then, she'll be working out all summer getting ready for her freshman season at Harvard starting in the fall.
"I'm really excited," said Gilmore, who committed to the Crimson after her sophomore season. "It's a really great program with three great coaches."
The Crimson surprisingly struggled this past season, going 5-19-5, but Gilmore is excited about helping turn that around.
"I know the team is full of great girls who are hardworking and have a lot of talent," she said. "I'm excited to get on the ice. I'm definitely going to push this summer to come to school in the best shape to do my part."
What will help Gilmore is her international experience with the U.S. youth national teams. She played three years with the under-18s, winning two world gold medals, and last summer spent her first camp with the under-22s.
"That was a really great wake-up call, playing for the under-22s," she said. "You're playing with the best players from the best hockey schools in the country. So I know what to expect in terms of speed and level of play, and I think that will help me tremendously when I move up to the college game."
Just a few days after accepting the Carlton Award, Gilmore was out in Plymouth, Mich., for the youth nationals, and got to witness the thrilling 3-2 overtime victory by Team USA over Canada in the gold medal final at the IIHF women's world championships. Her goal is to be a part of that squad in the years to come.

As a columnist for the Washington Post, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, and the author of several books, including Why Americans Hate Politics, E.J. Dionne Jr. keeps his finger on the nation's pulse. Across the political spectrum many Americans fear that our nation, not just the economy, is in decline; that political polarization is keeping us from governing ourselves effectively; and that growing inequality may persist because the old social contract based on shared prosperity is broken. Yet in his new book, Our Divided Political Heart: The Battle for the American Idea in an Age of Discontent, Dionne argues that what we are experiencing is not decline but a historic loss of balance that needs to be restored.
The word balance is crucial, because our national identity includes core values—individualism, community and equality—that pull in different directions yet must be held together if we are to maintain our balance and move ahead. "American history is defined by an irrepressible and ongoing tension between two core values: our love of individualism and our reverence for community," writes Dionne. He names respect for equality as a third core component; it is often linked to the positive role of government in promoting and extending liberty. That is a very Catholic view of government, too.
For a hundred years, throughout the 20th century, a national desire to hold these values together shaped what Dionne calls "the Long Consensus." That consensus is, he maintains, what made the United States into a world leader. These core values are rooted in the beliefs of the nation's founders and in the Constitution. Writes Dionne: "We believe in limited government, but also in active and innovative government. Our Founders did not devote so much time and intellectual energy to creating a strong federal government only for it to do nothing."
Dionne seeks to correct a distorted view of U.S. history and the role of government espoused by the Tea Party, which promotes extreme individualism (characteristic of the Gilded Age) at the expense of community and government. He uses historical examples of past imbalances to show who did what to correct them; these latter include the populists, the progressives and those who worked to end Prohibition. The record of past successes the author describes ought to instill confidence in our national future and show us how to restore our balance. The task of correcting the current imbalance belongs primarily to the Millennial generation, writes Dionne, which he finds up to the task. I hope he is right on that point. Overall, it would be hard to find a more civil, well-reasoned or hope-filled book about the current polarized state of the country. By all means, read this book.
