TULLAHOMA, Tenn. (AP) – Five people have been arrested on federal charges of distributing crack cocaine in Tullahoma.
Police said Wednesday the five are suspected of transporting large amounts of cocaine from Chattanooga to Tullahoma.
Additional indictments are expected.
They were identified as 34-year-old Tommy Young, 27-year-old Reckedia Reed, 29-year-old Elizabeth Gladden, 29-year-old Kristy Williams, all of Chattanooga, and 30-year-old Cedric Sumlin of Memphis.
Police said 24 people have been convicted of federal drug charges as a result of a three year investigation by Tullahoma officers and the FBI.
In a news release, police said a Nashville drug organization originally responsible for supplying crack cocaine to dealers in Tullahoma has been dismantled.

Monday, May 3, 2010;
LONGSHOT PRIMARY challenges notwithstanding, Maryland voters face the likelihood of an electoral rerun of the 2006 gubernatorial race. Democratic Gov. Martin O'Malley, who won that contest, and Republican Robert L. Ehrlich Jr., the incumbent at the time, who lost it, say that they're prepared this year to talk about their ideas for the state. You'd certainly hope so, given Maryland's staggering short- and long-term economic problems. So far, though, it remains unclear that this year's campaign will be more than a grudge match between two men of comparable age, bearing, talent and political agility.
Mr. Ehrlich appears to have jumped into the race not so much to champion any cause but because the political climate has shifted in his party's favor. Mr. O'Malley, for his part, has had the misfortune to govern in terrible economic times, which has hamstrung his ability to steer any real course beyond retrenchments. Still, he has avoided addressing a number of critical challenges. Taking the two candidates' performance so far, the campaign's beginning has not been auspicious.
Mr. Ehrlich's four-year term was marked both by gratuitous partisan squabbling, petty scandals and a tin ear for political ethics, as well as by a generally pragmatic approach and modest victories -- pushing forward the Intercounty Connector in Washington's Maryland suburbs and imposing a tax to help clean up the Chesapeake Bay and other state waterways. Mr. Ehrlich governed in boom times but still left the state with a structural deficit that Mr. O'Malley was compelled to address in his first year in office, largely with tax increases.
Now Mr. Ehrlich says that he would repeal a chunk of those increases by rolling back the 6 percent state sales tax to 5 percent. That would cost the state $739 million a year by 2015, widening an already gargantuan projected annual deficit to more than $3 billion (about a fifth of revenue). He'd also trim the corporate tax that Mr. O'Malley raised. And just how would Mr. Ehrlich pay for those tax cuts in an era of depleted revenue? He's not saying.
Mr. Ehrlich has been more substantive and sensible in talking about the need to expand charter schools in Maryland. But he has yet to flesh out a plan to balance budgets, pay for transportation initiatives or deal with the state's long-term pension obligations.
Mr. O'Malley has been nearly as evasive, although his status as an incumbent has compelled him to answer more questions. His record includes an important expansion of Medicaid health coverage for impoverished adults; three years of holding the line against tuition increases at state colleges and universities (though a small hike is pending); major reductions in crime (in line with those in other states); passage of legislation that led to the authorization of slot machine gambling (but so far, not a nickel of the $600 million that slots were to yield for the state annually); and, as he never tires of pointing out, schools that are among the best in the nation.
However, Mr. O'Malley, though he has managed successive spending cuts to balance the state budget, has not addressed the medium-term problem of annual deficits that are projected to reach and exceed $2 billion in the next few years. And he has dodged critical questions about the longer-term but more daunting challenge of billions of dollars in unfunded obligations to pay pensions and health-care benefits for retired state government employees and teachers, the burden of whose retirement benefits falls overwhelmingly on the state. These ticking time bombs demand serious ideas and debate. So far, we haven't heard them from Mr. Ehrlich and Mr. O'Malley.

Justin Bieber turns on Christmas lights at Westfield with special gig
Justin Bieber
turned on the Christmas lights at two spots in the capital last night and declared in front of thousands of fans: âMy favourite part about London is all the girls.â
The 17-year-old did the honours at the Westfield shopping centres in Shepherdâs Bush and Stratford in London, performing several hits.
Bieber, who was launching his new Christmas album, Under The Mistletoe , was flown by helicopter between the two venues.
Many of his fans queued overnight to get a wristband to see Justin but some were left sobbing in the street when they missed out.
Ex-Spice Girl Geri Halliwell was one of the lucky ones who did get a wrist band as she was spotted in the crowd with a young pal watching the teen idol.
The Wanted joined Bieber onstage at the event in Shepherdâs Bush.
Before his visit to Westfield Justin took girlfriend Selena Gomez on a private tour of Chelsea's Stamford Bridge.
Bieber has rejected claims by 20-year-old American Mariah Yeater that he fathered her baby.

Wellcome to British Immersion
Hosting young students is a wonderful and rewarding experience for everyone involved. Your children will be able to make friends with a Spanish student of the same age and, in many cases, forge a friendship for life.
On this website you will find information about our scheme. If you are interested in hosting for us or if you have further questions, please contact us at email@example.com.
The aim of our scheme is to provide Spanish children with the opportunity of being immersed in the daily life of a British family in order to practice and improve the language they are learning whilst they also achieve the knowledge of the culture and a love for the country. We need "caring" families with children anywhere in the Manchester-Cheshire area, who would like to host a Spanish child from 24th of June to 22nd of July. A generous allowance of 26 GBP/night is offered to cover all the extras that come along with hosting; taking the children out or any other additional activities. Since 1986 we have been organising these trips, and we are very proud to say that it has been extremely successful. Past host families agree with us that it is a fabulous experience for all those involved. We have had the most gratifying feedback from the families and the participating schools. The children have fun together and all the family benefits from the event. It allows them to make a Spanish friend, many times turning into a long-life friendship.
Any caring families who have children between the ages of 10 and 18 can potentially be a host family for us. Having a spare room for the student is not an essential request, but if sharing, it would have to be with the child of the family, who would be taking the role of the "host brother or sister". The Spanish child should be made welcome to the same school the host child attends. Most of the schools are happy to support our plan, but unfortunately there are a few schools that cannot see the advantages this experience can add to their pupils' education. If that were the case, the Spanish child could attend a different local school with a friend, neighbour or relative of the family. Click here to see a list of participating schools. If you cannot find your school on the list, please get in touch as it may be that we have never had dealings with them.
If you fancy hosting, and fit in with our requirements, you may get in touch with us so we can make arrangements to visit and meet you all. We need information about the whole family, in particular the children, their personal characteristics, hobbies and interests, to fill in a questionnaire, which will allow us to find the best match for you.
During the hosting period it is the family's responsibility to care for the Spanish child as if he, or she, were one of their own. They must be included in family activities and encouraged to communicate in English. The allowance covers ALL living expenses; this includes school meals, bus fares to and from school, etc.
We interview the children and their families, in order to make sure they understand what their responsibilities are and what kind of behaviour we expect from them. We gather information on the children's hobbies and interests to make the best match for them, too. We make sure that they are well-mannered, good students, eager to learn and mature enough to undertake this experience.
Our students are fully insured to cover any eventualities that may occur while they are in England, details of which can be sent on request.
During the students stay in England Ana Martin will deal with any issues and queries the English families, or the Spanish students, may have, either by phone or by personally visiting you.
We are a small organisation and we pride ourselves on being able to offer you a personal touch. We do our utmost to respond quickly and efficiently to your needs and those of the Spanish children.

CANAJOHARIE, N.Y. – A local high school stepped up their security on Wednesday following an indirect threat received by police.
Canajoharie Police say they received a "rambling manifesto" fax from an unknown source that mentioned children.
Authorities alerted a terror hotline run by a State Agency and was told the same fax was known to them. Two other police departments in New York received the same fax.
Although there was never a direct threat
to the schools in Montgomery County, security in schools were increased as a precaution since the fax mentioned children.

John Cale's first solo album, released two years after his bitter break with the Velvet Underground, was something of a shock for those who remembered his final contributions to the band on White Light/White Heat. Vintage Violence, sporting a cover showing Cale staring impassively from behind an opaque mask, was a much more subdued affair than any of his recordings with the VU, sensitive not only to pop sensibilities but to pop history. Even if his notions of "pop sensibilities" were a little too esoteric for heavy rotation, there was no denying that the full orchestra on "Big White Cloud" (arranged and conducted by Cale), the pedal steel guitar on "Bring It On Up," or the sweet melodies of "Gideon's Bible" were nothing like Cale had done before, either as stringed-instrument cleanup batter for the Velvets or in his classically trained avant-garde work with LaMonte Young. From the start, Vintage Violence was designed to be a pop album through and through.
Thirty years later, Cale admits as much, with a couple of surprising influences stuck in the observations: "I tried to imitate my favorite songwriters of the time, the Bee Gees or whatever. I was out to discover the world of pop songwriting, and I thought tunes were the answer." Vintage Violence, the fruit of that exploration, was recorded at whip-crack speed over three days, with members of Garland Jeffreys' Grinderswitch serving as the house band.

As experiments go, Cale's solo debut has aged remarkably well for at least one notable reason: Shot through the lush arrangements and production are elements that sour the mix just enough to make Vintage Violence a disturbing record, one whose imagery lingers long after the music has stopped. The short, perfect "Amsterdam," for example, is narrated by a man who's watched his female friend return from the city bearing some change inside her, something she has neither the capacity nor the desire to name: "She says she fell in love/With men who knew the way to treat a lady/But it's not her fault/She's not the one to blame/Come down, come down." Performed solo, with Cale on acoustic guitar and overdubbed vocals, this is probably the most haunting moment on the record (Cale still includes it in his live shows), but it's by no means the only one. The cool repetition of Robert Frost's phrase "Good fences make good neighbors" on "Gideon's Bible" is another, as is the knife-twister "Hello there, everybody/What's the best way out of here?" on the opening track. Clearly, Cale was proceeding into new territory with his guard up.
Vintage Violence highlights Cale's mastery of the pop form like none of his subsequent releases, which tended to be either more musically experimental or less crafty in their pop-oriented aspects. On Vintage Violence, he gets it absolutely right: Verse-chorus-bridge combinations are all over the album in both expected and exploded forms, proving Cale couldn't resist tinkering confidently with the format he'd chosen. 1970 also saw the release of the final, troubled VU album Loaded, a record that yielded two undeniable rock classics in "Sweet Jane" and "Rock and Roll," but pound for pound, Cale's release was and remains the more cohesive and satisfying statement. The extra tracks on Sony's rerelease, an alternate version of the closing workout "Fairweather Friend" and an extended viola drone called "Wall," are both from the Vintage Violence sessions, but apart from adding a bit of historical interest, they ultimately don't contribute much to the album that you won't hear in its original sequencing. That's not a complaint -- for my money, the more Cale the better -- but Vintage Violence is strong enough to stand on its own, as written, even three decades on. For a medium as ephemeral as pop music is supposed to be, that's a rare achievement.

Over the past few months, the news has been flooded with stories about people committing adultery. It's really sad and I hope it's not an indicator of the way our society is headed.
First, you had Jon and Kate plus 8 and their drama.
I guess that was his Father's Day present to himself…
What is going on here? Why are so many people cheating on their spouses?
Cheating is the easy way out. It is easier to say yes to your flesh than to maintain good morals.
Cheating comes with consequences. What you do in the dark will come to the light and many times, it's not pretty when it comes out!
Many people are calling for Gov. Sanford's resignation. His political career is on the rocks. His marriage is in danger and his children have to deal with the fallout of his bad choices.
The Steve McNair situation is as ugly as it gets. He was once remembered for being a great football player, but now, he will be remembered as the man who was cheating on his wife and was murdered by his girlfriend.
I think it is safe to assume that this isn't the legacy he wanted to leave for his family and friends.
I really feel for McNair's wife and children. There are reports that his wife didn't know he had a girlfriend on the side.
In addition, Nashville police have made statements that Kazemi suspected McNair of cheating on her with another woman. This was devastating to her because she had believed that he was going to leave his wife for her!
News Flash#1…If a man is cheating on his wife with you, then watch out!There is a 99.9% chance that he is going to do the same thing to you.
News Flash#2…He's not going to leave his wife. You are just a cheap thrill.
We as women have to raise our standards and not be content with playing second fiddle. Married men are off limits. You deserve better than to share a man with anyone!
We really need to get back to the basics.
When God created Adam, he saw that he needed a suitable helpmeet. So what did he do? He created Eve. Not Eve and another woman on the side for Adam. God only created ONE woman.
Think about what happened when David committed adultery with Bathsheba. He knew that Bathsheba was married, but he didn't care. He still slept with her.
When she got pregnant, he tried to cover his tracks and sent her husband Uriah out to the heat of the battle with the intent of him getting killed. God wasn't pleased with this and the child that was conceived between David and Bathsheba died. There were other judgments that were pronounced against David too as a result of his indiscretion. You can read more about it in 2 Samuel 11.
Guard your thought life. Remember, everything starts with a thought. When David saw Bathsheba, he lusted after her and acted on his thoughts.
Please, don't even entertain the idea of being with another person because it can easily lead to major problems. I wrote a post about this back in March called Emotional Infidelity. Feel free to check it out.

mondorescue as image backup
what is the best way for me to use mondo-rescue as a means of backing up my linux servers (maybe windows servers too) and to quickly restore from backed up image if a server's fail. Especially in case of email server (zimbra) that attached to a SAN LUN as its /opt/zimbra partition?
i'm running data center virtualization with vsphere 4.1, so i can put all the images in its datastore (shared storage) so later i can just attach a VM with the same spec as its original server and restore onto it.
I have used mondo on debian with no problems.
I have used it on centos with lamp and asterisk with no problems.
I say go for it but test, test test :)

What a great place. This bed-and-breakfast has a lot of privacy, because you have an own entry. It's looks nice, it's clean and tastefully furnished. It's quiet with beautiful light refecting on the canal. The bathroom is fantastic. You have a good double bed with good matrasses and a sleeping opportunity (couch) for another 1 or 2 persons (kids?). The fridge has youghurt, fresh fruit, orange juice and you can make your own tea and coffee. The owner is very nice and helpful. We could get two bikes and drive easily into the centre of the city. That's a very nice way to find your way in Amsterdam. This was definitively not the last time that I came here. René, thank you and see you a next time !!

The noise is deafening around here this morning. As part of our homeowner's association fees we are entitled to a sometimes weekly mowing of our postage stamp-sized lawns.
This requires at least four people. The first guy takes one swipe across the entire back of all the lawns on the street up next to the berm. The lawn mowers are very large and very loud. There is no sleeping in when this is going on.
A few minutes later a second guy comes along and quickly mows the rest of the lawn. Soon a third young man comes around with his noisy weed eater/edger and trims and edges around things like the sidewalk and patio whether they need it or not. This last procedure causes all the grass clippings to be spread all over the patio and onto the furniture.
That's why they need the fourth guy.
He cleans up after the other three guys by blowing the grass back onto the lawn. He uses a giant leaf blower that makes the most noise of all. It is such a pleasant relief when it is all done.
We've noticed that some people have taken to doing their own lawns. They get small, quiet electric mowers that they can set at whatever height they like for their grass. I think these people are crazy. It might seem like a good idea when the temperature is 70 degrees, but not when it's in the 90s with high humidity. It doesn't make any difference how small the lawn might be.
We've turned our lawn sprinkling system on for the summer. It took three men and a dog to get the thing going this year. Literally. And even though it is set to come on for 15 minutes on Saturdays and Wednesdays at 5:15 a.m. it turns on at 6:30 a.m. All the neighbor men who assisted The Man of the House to set this up have no idea why that is the case. At least it's working -- that is the main thing, so it was a group decision not to mess with it further.
I have been rudely awakened two mornings in the last week with a familiar obnoxious chirping sound. Not birds, but a smoke detector telling us to change the battery. Even though our six detectors are wired into the electrical system, they require back-up batteries. After two years and two months of use they are starting to wear down.
This warning system always seems to turn on right after The Man of the House and Shiloh have gone out for their early morning walk. This means I can stay in bed and grit my teeth at the sound or get up and try to do something about it.
The hard part was deciphering just which battery was calling. No matter where I stood in the house it sounded like it was coming from someplace else.
When the first one went off we learned that we had no 9-volt batteries in the house. It took awhile to get that problem fixed. We went out and bought six batteries, even though we now know we needed seven. We also needed a battery for our thermostat in case the power goes off so it will keep the settings. (It will not keep the furnace or AC running, however.) All this is quite an investment in batteries.
The other thing this requires is hauling in our tall aluminum ladder from the garage. Neither of us is real keen on climbing ladders anymore, but we will try to be careful so as not to need medical attention.

Though I'm not too big on the fact that Lego change the design sets of the Batman series, they're more affordable looking at the US price and this is probably why. But is the quality as good?
Saying that, I hope that they plan to expand the range and set a more gothic look to the series, gotham & arkham asylum would be a good place to start.
I just wish they'd asked for ideas before hand as the sets could have still been made on the cheap without messing up the quality, the funhouse is a good example, it's got the look but it's still missing something.
I hope they do a better job in the future, Marty

VIC TOEWS, Minister of Public Safety, Member of Parliament. STOP THE REMOVAL OF M. SILLAH -ALLOW EXEMPTION FOR PRRA
The Immigration and Refugee Board along with the Federal Court of Appeal have rejected the claim for refugee unjustly and without all evidence. There has been a great injustice in the process for an individual without legal counsel at no fault of his own. We are simply asking CBSA and the Immigration Board to stop his removal scheduled for June 11th and allow a pre risk removal assessment.
Muhammed is a citizen of The Gambia. Gambia has been in violation of human rights, freedom of speech, and protection for their citizens. Amnesty International, the United Nations, and other human rights groups have been active in reporting on the conditions in Gambia for anyone in opposition to the current regime and government, dictated by President Yahya Jammeh, a result of a coup take over in 1994.
Please view link for the current Human Rights Watch 2013 report. http://www.amnesty.org/en/region/gambia/report-2013
Muhammed is active through social forums in expressing his opposition to the Gambian government. Returning to the Gambia is not an option. His political opinions regarding the disappearances, tortures, murders, executions and low standard of living is being watched by the N.I.A (National Intelligence Agency) in the Gambia.
Please take a stand in helping Muhammed stay in Canada, stay away from his high risk of capture, and allowing the CBSA to re-assess his situation through the worsenning conditions in the Gambia.
Canada's aim is suppose to be "A person in need of protection is a person in Canada whose removal to their home country or country where they normally live would subject them personally to: a danger of torture; a risk to their life; or a risk of cruel and unusual treatment or punishment"

You know the parable, the one about the man in the flood who turns down the help of neighbors while the waters rise and clings to the steadfast belief that God will save him? Then he drowns and so afterwards, he asks God, "Why didn't you save me?" And God responds, "I sent you two boats and a helicopter—what more were you looking for?"
In "Two Boats and a Helicopter," the first episode of The Leftovers not centered around embattled Chief Kevin Garvey, Rev. Matt Jamison (Christopher Eccleston) is tasked with saving his Episcopalian church, whose flock has scattered after the Oct. 14 "departure" and now is in foreclosure and about to be sold to "some corporate LLC" that probably just wants the land to build apartments. Matt is the metaphorical man on the church's roof while the floodwaters rise. His current mission is exposing the Departures as sinners, in order to demonstrate that they weren't chosen because of their heavenly credentials, and thus, those left behind aren't abandoned or cursed. While others mourn their loss and the town marks the anniversary with a Heroes Parade, Matt peppers the town with "WANTED"-style posters that defame vanished local citizens for abandoning their family, dealing prescription drugs, or taking bribes. "If we can no longer separate the innocent from the guilty, everything that happened to us, all of our suffering, is meaningless," he says.
Eccleston—best known perhaps for his celebrated work as the ninth Doctor on one season of Doctor Who and fierce warriors in movies like Elizabeth and Thor: The Dark World—is a surprisingly convincing beleaguered Man of God. At least 40 percent of that credit has to go to his ears—seriously, have you ever met a priest or minister who didn't have supersize lobes. Then, combine his hawkish facial features with true-believer eyes, and he has the perfect demeanor of a man who could easily follow the Voice to some dark places.
It must be difficult for Matt, more so than the other Leftovers, as a man of God who didn't get the call. After all, if you think you've dedicated your life to His word and helping others, and then 120 million people vanish in an instant, you might be crushed to still be here, telling the same tired sermons to empty pews. People are looking for answers and meaning in the wake of this global phenomenon, but they're not turning to God. And Matt's crusade to demystify and slander the Departures is hardly Christian is it? In fact, his misguided vigilance and growing desperation have knocked him off the path.
His muckraking project invites violent blowback when a rugged relation to the Departure "drug dealer" interrupts mass and pummels him senseless near the altar and stuffs one of his posters in his bleeding mouth. But there are a few who are amenable to his message: A young father sneaks his newborn son into church one morning for baptism—against his wife's wishes—and then repays Matt with a tip that one of his co-workers was a degenerate gambler who squandered his children's college fund. Unbowed by his recent violent encounter, Matt hurries to the Indian casino in Connecticut so he can properly "out" this fiend. While there, in that 24-hour den of quick-money and broken dreams, he observes two birds, gray pigeons, frolicking on the roulette table. It is an odd sight, but especially to Matt, who recently encountered similar birds at his church. Is it a promising sign? Or is it merely symbolic of the two Guilty Remnant witnesses who are also stalking his compound?

Oceans and Coasts
We work in India's oceanic islands and coasts with a broad mandate to understand the basic ecology and behaviour of these systems, how human communities interact with them, and the impact of disturbances — both regional and global — on this relationship.
Coral reef responses to global change
As coral reefs across the tropics succumb to increasingly frequent ocean warming events in the wake of global climate change, documenting the consequences of these events on reef communities and their ability to resist and recover from them becomes critical. Our investigations in the Lakshadweep Archipelago and the Andaman & Nicobar Islands attempt to understand the factors that confer resilience on these systems

Tropical coastlines are home to the highest density of people anywhere and they depend heavily on resources these waters provide. It is not unusual then that human communities interact with wild marine species that may often compete with humans for the same precious resources.

Mating successfully at high densities often requires species to employ unusual reproductive tactics. We report unique courtship behaviours in an un shed, high-density spawning aggregation of squaretail groupers (Plectropomus areolatus) that are potentially associated with alternative reproductive tactics (ARTs). Aggregating males are typically known to court females in small territories (pair courtship), which is often associated with a pair-spawning tactic. However, we also observed the largest males simultaneously courting several females in mid-water shoals – a unique, high-cost-high-benefit courtship tactic which appears to result in a novel school-spawning tactic. Counter-intuitively we observed an inverse size- assortment in individuals–large males courted smaller females and vice-a-versa, likely linked to different pay- offs with competitive ability and local mate density. These unique, high-density behaviours are threatened to be lost, with increasing commercial fishing pressures on the P. areolatus aggregation.
- Journal Article2017Coping with catastrophe: foraging plasticity enables a benthic predator to survive in rapidly degrading coral reefsAnimal Behaviour, Vol 131: 13-22. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.anbehav.2017.07.010Download
Human-induced rapid environmental change (HIREC) disproportionately affects species with specialist traits and long generation times. By circumventing prolonged evolutionary processes, behavioural plasticity is critical in allowing species to cope with rapid environmental changes within their lifetimes. Coral reefs have faced multiple mass mortality events of corals related to climate change in the last two decades. The consequent loss of structural complexity adversely impacts long-lived, structure-dependent fish predators. We attempted to determine how well a guild of groupers (Pisces: Epinephelidae) copes with rapid structural change in the lightly fished Lakshadweep Archipelago, Indian Ocean. Of the 15 species, territorial and site-attached groupers declined exponentially with decreasing structural complexity, while widely ranging species showed no change. However, one site-attached species, the peacock grouper, Cephalopholis argus, maintained high densities across the structural gradient. We explored the mechanisms this species employs to cope with declining habitat structure. Our observations indicate that both a potential release from specialist competitors and plasticity in foraging behaviour (foraging territory size, diet and foraging mode) appeared to favour the peacock grouper's survival in sites of high and low structure. While specialist competitors dropped out of the assemblage, the foraging territory size of peacock groupers increased exponentially with structural decline, but remained constant and compact (50 m2) above a threshold of structural complexity (corresponding to a canopy height of 60 cm). Interestingly, despite significant differences in prey density in sites of high and low structure, gut content and stable isotope analyses indicated that peacock groupers maintained a specialized dietary niche. In-water behavioural observations suggested that diet specialization was maintained by switching foraging modes from a structure-dependent 'ambush' to a structure-independent 'widely foraging' mode. The remarkable foraging plasticity of species such as the peacock grouper will become increasingly critical in separating winners from losers and may help preserve specialist ecosystem functions as habitats collapse as a result of climate change.

- Journal Article2016"Choice" and destiny: The substrate composition and mechanical stability of settlement structures can mediate coral recruit fate in post-bleached reefsCoral Reefs. 35: 211-222
Increasingly frequent and intense ocean warming events seriously test the buffer and recovery capacities of tropical coral reefs. Post-disturbance, available settlement structures on a reef (often dead coral skeletons) vary considerably in their mechanical stability and substrate composition, critically influencing coral recruit settlement choice and fate. In the wake of a coral mass mortality in the Lakshadweep archipelago, we examine (1) the relative availability of recruit settlement structures (from stable to unstable: reef platform, dead massive coral, consolidated rubble, dead corymbose coral, dead tabular coral, and unconsolidated rubble) in 12 recovering reefs across three atolls in the archipelago, (2) the substrate composition [crustose coralline algae (CCA), mixed turf, macroalgae] of these structural forms, and (3) whether the choice and fate of young coral are mediated by the substrate and stability of different structural forms. For this, we measured the abundance and distribution of recruit (<1cm), juvenile (1–5 cm), and young adult (5–10) corals of 24 common coral genera. Four years after the mass mortality, reefs differed considerably in composition of settlement structures. The structures themselves varied significantly in substrate cover with dead tables largely covered in CCA [60 ± 6.05 % (SE)] and dead corymbose coral dominated by mixed turf (61.83 ± 3.8 %). The youngest visible recruits (<1 cm) clearly preferred CCA-rich structures such as dead massives and tables. However, older size classes were rarely found on unstable structures (strongly ''avoiding'' tables, Ivlev's electivity index, E = -0.5). Our results indicate that while substrate cover might mediate coral choice, the mechanical stability of settlement structures is critical in determining post-settlement coral survival. The composition and availability of settlement structures on a reef may serve as a characteristic signature of its recovery potential, aiding in assessments of reef resilience.

For traditional island communities in the Nicobar archipelago, complete no-go areas are the most effective form of marine management
The ability of local communities to sustainably manage natural resource harvests in coral reefs ecosystem depends heavily on the strength of traditional institutions. Coastal communities have evolved a suite of restrictive practices to control marine offtake and there is considerable recent evidence of their effec- tiveness in protecting and enhancing resource stocks. However, traditionally imposed restrictions can vary considerably in their complexity and in their functional effectiveness. The indigenous communities of the Nicobar Islands are dependent on marine resources for sustenance, managing them with a range of traditionally imposed restrictions. These include limited entry to certain locations, closed seasons and areas, and restrictions on species, size-classes of fish and fishing methods. We tested the relative effectiveness of protection in areas managed under different traditional control regimes by comparing the abundance and biomass of targeted fish groups in managed and unmanaged areas. Our results indicate that reef sites with the strictest form of restriction e essentially no-go areas e had significantly higher abundance and biomass values of most functional groups of fishes compared with partially protected and control locations. In contrast, targeted food fish stocks did not differ from control locations in partially protected sites managed with even complex forms of traditional management. Ensuring that traditional harvest rules are complied is critical to the success of any management system, and our re- sults suggest that they can be most strictly enforced in traditional no-go areas. Our work highlights the importance of critically evaluating the factors influencing traditional management systems to strengthen their ability to protect these reefs from unsustainable overharvest.

Senator Rev Diaz Letter to NYC Parks Commissioner
Dear Commissioner Benape:
This letter is to inform you that my constituents have been complaining to my office that Indian Lake in Crotona Park needs to be cleaned – immediately.
My constituents and their families are concerned about the pollution and odor and filth that needs regular and proper maintenance, especially during these summer months when families rely upon our public parks for recreation and enjoyment.
It is unclear to me that Central Park's lake is always properly maintained, but Indian Park, which serves my constituents in the South Bronx, requires the attention of a New York State Senator in order to be cleaned and maintained.
I look forward to your prompt response.
Senator Reverend Ruben Diaz

People with cancer need to maintain a healthy body weight and eat nutritious foods. But the side effects of surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy may cause a person to eat less and lose weight. Some treatments may cause weight gain for some patients.
Nutrition guidelines during cancer treatment
Here are some general nutrition recommendations for people receiving cancer treatment:
Maintain a healthy weight. For many people, this means avoiding weight loss by getting enough calories every day. For people who are obese, this may mean losing weight. Check with your doctor to find out if it is okay to try to lose weight during treatment. It may be better to wait until after treatment ends. If it is okay, weight loss should be moderate, meaning only about a pound a week.
Get essential nutrients. These include protein, carbohydrates, fats, and water.
Be as active as you can. For example, take a daily walk. If you sit or sleep too much, you may lose muscle mass and increase your body fat, even if you are not gaining weight.
Ways to get essential nutrients and manage a healthy weight
Nutrition counseling may help people with cancer get essential nutrients, such as protein, vitamins, and minerals. It can also help them maintain a healthy body weight.
For nutrition counseling, it's important to visit a qualified professional. This means a registered dietitian (RD) or a registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN). Ask your health care team to help you find one of these professionals. You can also find a dietitian through the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
Dietitians and other members of the health care team work with people to meet their nutritional needs. In addition to dietary counseling, they may recommend the following:
A multivitamin and/or specific vitamins or minerals that you aren't receiving enough of
Liquid nutritional supplements and nutrient-dense beverages and snacks
Feeding tubes or nutrition support appropriate for your body
Side effects and nutrition
Cancer treatment often causes side effects, such as nausea, mouth sores, and taste changes that may make it difficult to eat or drink. Follow these tips to help get the nutrition you need:
If water tastes unpleasant to you, take in more liquid though other foods and drinks. For example: eat soup or watermelon, drink tea, milk, or milk substitutes. A sports drink is a great alternative. Consider flavoring your water by adding fresh cut fruit.
If food tastes bland, try seasoning it with flavorful spices. For example, try using garlic, cayenne, dill, and rosemary.
If your mouth is sore you may need to choose non-acidic and non-spicy foods until your mouth is healed.
Eat several small meals throughout the day instead of fewer large meals. Make sure you reach your calorie goal with these smaller meals.
If meat is no longer appealing, get protein from other foods. For example, try fish, eggs, cheese, beans, nuts, nut butters, tofu, or high-protein smoothies.
If you have a metallic taste in your mouth, suck on mints, chew gum, or try fresh citrus fruits. Use plastic utensils and cook in glassware. Also, try brushing your teeth before eating.
If you have mouth sores or a gum infection, use a blender to make the texture of vegetables and meats smooth. Try juicing or making smoothies because the extra moisture can help. For additional calories, add butter, mild sauces, gravy, or cream.
Some side effects are often treated with medication. If your side effects are affecting your hydration and nutrition, talk with your doctor or another member of your health care team.
The use of dietary supplements
Low-dose dietary supplements, such as multivitamins, may be helpful for people with cancer who are not able to get all of their nutrients through foods. Multivitamins are dietary supplements that contain most of the required daily vitamins, minerals, and trace elements. They may also contain some minerals such as calcium, magnesium, or iron. They are typically taken by mouth as a pill, capsule, tablet, liquid, or powder. High doses of specific nutrient supplements can be harmful. So talk with your doctor if you plan to take supplements.
Questions to ask your doctor before taking any dietary supplements include:
What are the benefits of taking this dietary supplement?
What are the possible side effects?
Are there risks to taking it?
Can taking dietary supplements interfere with my cancer treatment?
How much should I take and for how long?
Where can I learn more about dietary supplements?
Read more about dietary and herbal supplements.
Food safety
People in cancer treatment should be aware of food safety. Some treatments may weaken the immune system and could lead to an infection. A food-borne infection occurs when harmful bacteria, viruses, or fungi contaminate food and make you sick. Here are some basic food safety tips to reduce the risk of infection:
Wash your hands before and while you handle and prepare food.
Rinse vegetables and fruit thoroughly before eating them.
Handle and store food safely. For example:
Use separate cutting boards for meats and vegetables
Store meat and fish on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator
Do not thaw food on the counter or under warm running water
Refrigerate the foods after everyone has been served
Eat fully cooked foods. For example, do not eat eggs that are not cooked solid, and do not eat raw fish, oysters, or shellfish.
Do not eat or drink unpasteurized foods. This includes beverages such as unpasteurized cider, raw milk, and fruit juices, and foods such as cheeses made from unpasteurized milk.
Make sure the food you purchase is not past its sell by or expiration date and follow directions on proper storage.
Read more about food safety during and after cancer treatment.
Diet and nutrition after treatment
Most nutrition recommendations include eating fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. But the effect of specific dietary factors on cancer survival rates is not as well understood and is actively being studied. However, a healthy diet is important for cancer survivors because they may be at increased risk for other health conditions, such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and weakening of the bones.
To reduce the risk of other diseases, doctors generally recommend that cancer survivors follow common recommendations for good health. These include eating a nutrient-dense and plant-based diet, quitting smoking, maintaining a healthy weight, minimizing alcohol consumption, and staying physically active.

First, let me preface with a few things.
1) Being in Kalifornia, I do not yet have a CC permit here, so I do not carry.
2) This is not intended to be an argument to try to get everyone to carry a revolver; I am simply trying to dispel some of the popular arguments against carrying wheel guns.
Here we go:
Argument against carrying a revolver, #1
Limited capacity.
This is a valid argument, and if I were to carry a revolver it might scare me if I were to be attacked by three or more attackers.
A revolver typically has six rounds, sometimes five. What do you say to people who carry a .380, or a single stacked 9mm? Those types of guns typically have very similar capacity to a wheel gun. I would take six rounds of .38 Special +p anyway over the same amount of .380. An XDs in .45 ACP has 5+1, IIRC.
If people can be comfortable carrying 6 rounds of .380 why can't they be comfortable carrying 6 rounds of .357 Magnum or .38 +p ?
Argument against carrying a revolver, #2
Slow reload time
Any gun will have a slow reload time if you don't train with it. To me, once proficiency in the manual of arms is established, the next priority needs to be reloads. Even someone who carries a Glock 19 with a billion rounds in the magazine might have to reload. Most high capacity guys I know carry an extra magazine anyway, so right there they are admitting they might have to reload.
If I were to train reloads on a revolver under situations where I have elevated adrenaline, such as after sprinting and whatnot, I bet I could get pretty quick with it. Especially if I used a spring-loaded speed loader, which I would if I were to carry a wheel gun. Last I checked those things are about $10-15 online, which is half the cost of most cheap magazines for semi-autos. Train with it, and I guarantee any wheel gun carrier can reload as fast as someone carrying a semi.
Argument against carrying a revolver, #3
I personally consider this a throw-away argument because there are plenty of quality lightweight revolvers out there. S&W air weight J-Frames, Ruger LCRs, etc. the lightest .357 Magnum revolver is the S&W 340, 5 shot capacity, at 12 ounces. The lightest 9mm is the Diamondback DB9 at 11 ounces, 6 + 1. To me its so close that it isn't even an issue.
Argument against carrying a revolver, #4
Revolvers are antiquated technology
Please. Why do semis have an advantage? Because of their capacity, which I've already talked about? How about because of their reload time, which I've already talked about? Maybe in their size. The cylinder on a revolver does lend itself to be wider than most, if not all, semis. But this isn't always a disadvantage. Some people's bodies are built to accept the shape a revolver better than the flat sides of a semi-auto.
I honestly can't think of any other relatively valid arguments against revolvers. Perhaps you guys can contribute something I missed, and we can have a reasonable discussion.
For what it's worth, the gun I've selected as my carry piece, for when I do get the permit, is a S&W M&P9c. But I have put serious thought into revolvers and single stacked 9mms. And I haven't ruled either out. At the end of the day, I want to be able to carry something I am comfortable with, regardless of the weather or my clothing.
The bottom line is, carry something you are comfortable with, you shoot well, you reload fast, something you don't mind being taken away if you are involved in a shooting. Regardless of its platform or caliber.
And don't begrudge someone for their carry choice. Doing so only shows a lack of maturity and ignorance on your part.
EDIT: this post ended up being a lot longer than I had anticipated. Sorry about that. But I assure you, it was more painful for me to type it than it was for you to read it, as I did so on an iPad.
I would never argue against carrying a revolver. I normally carry a semi-auto, but sometimes I feel I need to bond more with my 2.5" barrel Model 19, and never feel under armed. I'm comfortable carrying either.
There is some merit to the multiple attackers scenario. That said, it's doubtful the others have to stones to continue after one of theirs is hit, particularly in the dark or subdued light when they encounter noise, muzzle and side flash of a short barrel revolver. High ammo capacity's no guarantee either. The Kehoe Brothers shootout with the Ohio State Patrol is still on You Tube. The Trooper empties his mag at a distance of 10 feet and hits nothing. Statistics show most SD episodes are 1-3 shots. I don't care what your EDC is, if you have to reload, it's no longer SD, it's a fire fight. In that case you're in deep excrement.
if a person can shoot well and accurately with a revolver and practices with it on regular basis, i see nothing wrong with carrying a revolver over a semi-auto.
a person can apply the same reasoning to the revolver vs. semi-auto debate, just like the caliber debate. same reasoning applies IMO. accurate shot placement trumps magazine capacity. hits with a revolver trump misses with a semi-auto pistol.
good post JW!:D
Personally I feel confident enough that if I'm in a SD situation from say, ten feet, with any of my current firearms, I should be able to make six well aimed hits to six attackers. Of course the situation dictates. But I don't feel like I need 18 rounds. If I run into more than six bad guys at one time anyway, either the rest will run when I start shooting it I will get shot before I can shoot them all. Regardless of platform I'm using.
i pocket carry a ruger lcp. its about the same thickness as a android smartphone and thats exactly what it looks like in my pocket.
put a revolver of any type in a pocket and the outline looks like a gun in your pocket.
when you pocket carry junk gets in the gun. pocket lint is a killer. with a semi auto im assured that no matter what 1 round is going off. with a revolver you get a little lint in the cylinder jamming it up and its a paperweight.
if you carry iwb or owb its a moot point on that issue
im not a fan of the long trigger pulls on da revolvers. if i was going to carry a revolver it would never be a da. while im no fan of the lcp trigger its size is a huge mitigating factor. so when i carry something larger i just dont want to be limited by the fiddly nature of revolvers.
loading a semi auto requires gross muscular skill loading a revolver requires fine muscular skill. the first thing that goes out the window when your faced with a fight or flight situation when the adrenaline gets pumping is fine motor skills. this means if you have to manipulate the firearm its gotten exponentially more difficult trying to get the round bullets in the round holes.
semi auto is easier to use under stress.
I am very good with a revolver.
I dont carry yet since I dont have my CC yet (even tho I moved ot a free state 15 mos ago, been busy) but when I do I intend to carry in fall/winter a GP100 3 inch w/ 6 rds of 357 Mag and in spring/summer a 38 spc snubbie.
(already have both)
The spring loaded speed loaders are amazing.
My best reload times are down to 1.5 sec with them.
I admit when something goes wrong (stuck shell etc) my reload times go up to 3 sec.
(but shells stuck in cylinder never happen for me in a carry situation unless I fired a couple boxes first or unless its real dirty ammo ( which none of my carry ammo is)
In any event first rounds are decisive anyway and the avg number of rds expended in civilian self defense scenarios is 1.7 rds......, yes , less than 2.
So with 6 rounds you can solve a lot of problems.
The fact that I have a greater effective range than a equivalent semiauto ( due to my fixed barrel, no moving slide, option of using SA from round 1) is while not decisive, certainly nice gravy on top.
i'd feel very comfortable going up against the avg semi auto wielded by the avg crook.

"Jericho" returns from the dead Tuesday, and it nearly cost Brad Beyer his life. He was racing along Los Angeles' lethal I-405 freeway when he got the message that CBS, three weeks after canceling the series, had changed its mind and was bringing "Jericho" back for another season.
"I was in my car, checking the voice-mail on my cellphone, and there was a message from co-star Skeet Ulrich that CBS was going to keep us after all," Beyer remembers. "I almost ran off the expressway."
But, like the character he plays - a farmer in the little town of Jericho, Kansas, which is struggling to withstand the chaos following a massive nuclear attack on America by terrorists - Beyer survived. Now he's hoping the show will, too. "We've been off the air since last spring, but I hope the fans come through for us," he says. "They did before."
They certainly did, bombarding startled CBS executives with 25 tons of canned peanuts (a play off a scene when a group of nuclear survivors responds to a demand to surrender with a single word, "Nuts!"). The network's unprecedented revival of a canceled show was just one more chapter in the unlikely story of "Jericho," a drama about nuclear war whose peculiar mix of soap-opera romance and Oedipal family intrigue leavened with tales of starvation and radiation poisoning has attracted the most fanatic audience on television.
And the unlikeliest part of all may be about to unfold: "Jericho" is just about the only winner of the ugly writers' strike that has paralyzed Hollywood for the past three months, driving most original TV programming from the air, putting 11,000 people out of work and costing $1.8 billion.
"I know it sounds like a heartless thing to say - this strike has been so terrible for so many people - but it may turn out pretty well for us," says Beyer. "But that's what we're hoping.
"We'll be one of only a few shows on the air with new material. We hope it will help us."
"Jericho" itself will be something of a tattered survivor as it returns at 10 p.m. EST Tuesday. Stripped of two-thirds of its planned episodes, much of its budget, and nearly all of its writing staff and production crew, the show had to reinvent itself for this season.
In some ways, says Carol Barbee, one of the show's executive producers, that's made "Jericho" stronger.
"We definitely had to make an adjustment," she admits. "But I think it's been a blessing in disguise. Before we were canceled, we had already pitched the season two story lines to CBS. It was going to take place in three cities: Jericho; Cheyenne, Wyoming - where a military-oriented American government is based - and New York, which survived the terrorist attack. At some point in the season, the three stories would have dovetailed and become one.
"But then we found out we were going to have less money, less writers, less cast, less everything. So we decided to tell one just one, in Jericho, and cram a 22-episode story into seven episodes. This season, something "huge" happens every week. It goes like wildfire. It feels more like a miniseries."
That means "Jericho" will drop or compress many of the soap-opera elements - adulterous romances, family jealousies - of last season and concentrate on the big picture. Barbee promises viewers will learn more about the nature and motives of the mysterious terrorist group that launched the attack, and get a clearer picture of what's left of the United States outside Jericho. It won't be pretty - two rival governments, the one in Wyoming and another in Columbus, Ohio, are vying for control over a decimated landscape, often with heavy-handed tactics.
"Last season was about the aftermath of a nuclear attack in our small little town," says Barbee. "Season two is about the country and saving a system of government and a way of life. It's about occupation, resistance and then revolution."
There will even be glimpses overseas - it turns out that the U.S. government, initially believing that the nuclear attack originated in another country, launched some strikes of its own. When Barbee revealed that during a press conference with foreign journalists to promote "Jericho" in the international market, she learned that the fanaticism of the show's viewers knows no borders. "They were all saying, `Gee, couldn't you work in a nuclear attack on my country?'" the bemused Barbee recalls.
If the problems with story lines were easily resolved, some of the others weren't. When "Jericho" was canceled, its four top writers signed contracts with other shows, and nearly the entire production crew moved over to another CBS show, "Cane." None of them could get out of their deals to return when "Jericho" was renewed.
Meanwhile, budget cuts meant "Jericho" had to slash its cast in half, from a dozen regulars to six. But several stars accepted smaller deals to appear in fewer episodes, and in the end, only one - Gerald McRaney, whose town patriarch character was killed in last year's season finale - won't return.
Beyer will remain a full-time cast member, and his character Stanley Richmond - a farmer who was nearly bankrupt even before the bombs started falling - will continue his unlikely romance with Mimi, the IRS agent who was in town to seize his farm for back taxes when war broke out. They'll even get engaged (though Barbee also warns that "there will be a big surprise").
Beyer generally thinks "Jericho" is realistic - much more so, he says, than "The Day After," the 1983 nuclear-apocalypse TV movie that scared him so much as a little kid - but he admits that he has trouble thinking of an IRS agent as a romantic partner outside of a TV script.
"I guess I might marry one in real life if I fell in love with her," he muses. "Or if she was really "hot." Then adds, quickly: "I should note that in real life I have a very beautiful girlfriend. And not an IRS agent, either."

It varies how you look one week is different than the next come postseason everyone has the same record 0-0
Still going no huddle, still working. Just keeping milking it and getting more reps with it. Luck is too damn good to not have him throw the ball. I'm ok with running draws out of the shotgun
Don't ask Marvin Harrison what he did during the bye week. "Batman never told where the Bat Cave is," he explained.
Momentum carries
Great to see the defense show up against a bad opponent.
this rate Jags may not even come out at half. this is a shellacking.
I'd like to see a fight between Gus Bradley and Jim Schwartz. Both of those guys look like they are always ready to throw down.
We lost the last two games of the season in 2009(not even factoring in the controversy surrounding it) but held serve with HFA and then lost the SB so there are exceptions. I'm all for playing lights out but even if we played the starters the entire game it doesn't have nearly as much bearing in the postseason since its really a crapshoot.
aka not telegraphing runs any more. Has Pep finally awoken for good? I want to believe.
and running wins football games
That was a scary pass.
The last time we swept the division was 2009.
I dont want them the whole game, i just dont want them out after 1q
It finally worked!
get your head around Harris ya idiot
Considering how bad the Jags are if is a big enough score its not going to make much of a difference if you take them out in the 1 Q
Luck is destroying them with the no huddle.
Pep has shown more varity so far today than all 15 previous games combined.
Too bad, but I like how we're playing. Gotta just keep doing this
Don't ask Marvin Harrison what he did during the bye week. "Batman never told where the Bat Cave is," he explained.
All of the early games are within a touchdown, well except for one game...

Reed is back!!!!!!!!

digg style quickpost link
Is there a digg style quickpost where you can type in your name at the beginning of a link you want to post, to start the posting process?
E.g. I wanted to post a link to a site, so in the address bar where it says:
I type my site address at the front, like so:
and hit return. As long as I am logged in it takes me straight a posting dialogue where it has already linked the site, with some kind of preset word or paragraph you can set in the plugin options.
I'd love to hear about anything like that. Thanks.

Excess capacity drove container freight rates down to near-record lows last year, but Drewry estimates 57 ultra-large containerships with at least 18,000 TEUs of capacity will be delivered to the global fleet in the next two to three years alone.
China is leading a trading bloc in Asia - the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) - that would more than fill the void of the abandoned Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement and could leave the United States on the outside looking in.
The Neopanamax vessel CMA CGM Theodore Roosevelt, which measures 1,200 feet in length and 158 feet in beam and has a container carrying capacity of 14,885 TEUs, on Aug. 22 became the largest ship to ever transit the Central American waterway.

"I killed a spider today Dad. Smashed it into paste.
What for?
Hate I guess.
I dont have time for this shit Arthur.
Dad we need to talk.
What about? Im busy.
Just life the universe and everything in it.
Id rather talk now. Moms going to leave you.
Thats not true and its none of your business.
What world are you living in?
The same fucked up one as you.
Why are you so unhappy?
Dont tell me what I am Arthur. You dont have a fucking clue.
Your wifes about to leave you and your kids hate you. You have no friends and nobody wants to be close to you because youre foul. You stink of failure and rotten dreams, and you corrupt the air every where you breathe. It doesnt have to be this way.
I dont have time for a life lesson right now son.
Make time. You might learn something if you listen for once instead of talking. You cant remake the world in your image by yelling at it. You cant reassemble me using the broken pieces of your life. It wont work Dad. Its a pipe dream, a husk. Its lifeless.
What the fuck are you telling me this for Confucius? Take your three penny fortune cookie advice and stick up your ass. I dont need to hear this shit from a fucking cocksore kid who thinks he knows everything there is to know because he ran away from home twice. Let me tell you something Arthur, you dont know a fucking thing. You dont know what its like to default on a loan and have diarrhea for three days because you cant sleep at night. Have you ever been overcome by a sinking feeling of horrified delight when your girlfriend tells you shes pregnant and shes keeping the baby? Have you sat next to your father and held his hand while his bloated face turned purple and he choked back the pathetic remnant of his life and swallowed it like a golf ball? What the fuck do you know about life? Do you know what its like to hit rock bottom, and climb back out again only to have your legacy defined by a thankless brat who throws everything you ever did or didnt do back into your face so he can cling to some vestige of moral superiority? What do you know about these things Arthur?
I know you were a bad father.
And so what? I was the only kind of father I knew how to be.
That wasnt good enough.
I cant change that.
What do you want Arthur? You want me to say Im sorry? Im not sorry. I didnt hug you, I didnt listen to you? Is that it? What do you want me to do now?
Then what the fuck are you wasting my time with this shit for?
When you die friendless and alone, I want you to know why. If you end up hanging around for a while as a ghost, I want you to know why theres no one at your funeral.
Youre so morbid. Its disgusting.
Grow up.
And dont kill anymore spiders. Youre upsetting a delicate balance.
