Restaurant visits from families or parties with kids increased this past summer after three years of traffic declines, according to market research company The NPD Group. NPD's foodservice market research reported that visits by parties with kids increased by 1 percent overall in the quarter ending August 2010 versus the same quarter a year ago.
"Although the visits increase reflect just one quarter, the return of parties with kids is another sign that business is beginning to pick up for the restaurant industry," said Bonnie Riggs, NPD's restaurant industry analyst. "Parties with kids are integral to the industry and make a significant contribution in both volume and sales."
According to NPD, last year, even with visits down, families or parties with kids accounted for 14 billion meals and snacks and $70 billion in sales.
But not all segments are seeing the gains. NPD's Kim McLynn broke the momentum down by occasion: Parties with kids represent 36 percent of all restaurant visits, she said. Of that, 81 percent are quick-service restaurant visits, 9 percent midscale visits and 10 percent casual dining visits.
But the QSR and midscale categories have the most momentum in this category, posting 1 percent gains – mostly via "kids eat free" promotions, at least for the midscale category, McLynn said. Casual dining visits with kids were actually down by 3 percent.

Research suggests firms remain underwhelmed
Fit notes are not helping to reduce sickness absence, according to employers.
Just one in ten respondents (11%) said the fit note had cut absence, newly released findings from the latest absence management survey carried out by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development/Simplyhealth show.
The responses lend weight to a growing body of evidence that the fit note has not had the impact envisaged in Dame Carol Black's report on the health of the workplace, which recommended their introduction.
Interviews with GPs carried on behalf of the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) found that they were unwilling to act as a go-between for patients and employers and believe that employers should pay for occupational health services to access advice on health and work.
A larger survey of GPs carried out for the DWP found that almost half (48%) said the fit note had increased how often they recommended a return to work. However, 77% said they felt obliged to give sickness certificates for reasons that were not strictly medical and just 20% said there were good services locally to which they could refer patients for advice about returning to work.
Dame Carol's latest report into sickness absence recognises that the vast majority of fit notes declare the patient unfit for work and recommends that people absent for more than four weeks should be referred to an independent assessment service carrying out functional capacity tests and providing occupational health advice.
The CIPD/Simplyhealth survey of 592 organisations also found that just under a third (31%) agreed that the fit note helps line managers to manage absence more effectively. The vast majority (87%) have used the fit note in their organisations, however its use was less common in smaller businesses of less than 50 employees (54%).
Dr Jill Miller, CIPD adviser, said the findings were "perhaps not surprising" given the culture change needed by GPs, employers and employees.
"GPs and employers need to work from the same page, promoting what is best for the individual employee's health and well-being, but also what makes sense for the business," she said. "Employees too need to be more forthcoming and willing to enter these discussions. Policy makers, however, should not be discouraged as it may well take five years or so before the fit note is consistently used effectively and viewed more favourably by GPs, employers and employees, to support early and lasting returns to work."

Document circulation with CuteFlow
The CuteFlow document circulation system supports cross-platform document exchanges. CuteFlow is easy to install and configure but still has a couple of weak areas.
No matter what size office you work in, a variety of documents will land on your desk every day. Many organizations have a system for sending documents to a team of participants on a circulation list. The document reaches one employee after another along a defined path. After all the participants have viewed the document, it is returned to the sender. At least this is what happens in theory, but what happens to the circulation if somebody is sick, on vacation, or simply not in the office? The old paper-based circulation systems often resulted in documents getting delayed in the shuffle. Several electronic collaboration systems are now available, but these systems are often too complicated for small teams. An open source tool called CuteFlow supports cross-platform document workflows. CuteFlow is an electronic collaboration tool modeled on the old paper-based circulation systems. The configuration and front-end of the PHP-based CuteFlow are fully web-based; a web browser and an email address are all you need.

Royal approval for local news
Last updated at 20:43, Thursday, 24 May 2012
Visting regions across the United Kingdom during this diamond jubilee year, Prince Philip and I have been struck by the way that in towns, villages and cities, people have found that their community can be an important source of strength and support.
Local and regional newspapers are a fundamental part of the fabric of our communities and we should celebrate the important contribution they make to highlighting the issues and achievements of their particular area.
Through their reporting, local newspapers such as the Times & Star act as a voice for their readers and a focus for all.
Britain's regional media has also played an admirable role in helping communities to follow the fortunes of their local heroes – the athletes who will represent our nation at the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Their endeavours should be a source of inspiration to us all.
I hope that both the Diamond Jubilee and the London Olympics will give people renewed cause for optimism and a reason to come together in celebration of what we can all achieve as a country.
I am delighted to give this message of support to this year's Local Newspaper Week.
I wish both local newspapers and their readers every success in the future.
l Local Newspaper Week, organised by the Newspaper Society, highlights how local newspapers are helping communities come together in celebration in the run up to two important national events – the Diamond Jubilee and London 2012 Olympics.

SAExploration Provides Q3 2013 Operations Update
SAExploration Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:SAEX, OTCBB:SAEXW) ("SAE" or the "Company") today announced an update on operations for the third quarter ended September 30, 2013 ("Q3 2013").
SAE's Q3 2013 operations were adversely impacted by mechanical issues on a contracted vessel for the Company's shallow-water project in Malaysia, in addition to project delays in Alaska, Colombia and Bolivia. In Malaysia, one of the Company's lead vessels experienced more than a week's downtime for repair. The downtime resulted in the entire seismic acquisition crew being placed on stand-by for the duration of the repairs. The vessel was successfully repaired and is now fully operational. While the project is expected to be completed within the next few weeks, the downtime will impact the profitability of the project because it is a fixed-price contract.
In Alaska, SAE anticipated the recommencement of work during Q3 2013 on a previously delayed project, but the client elected to not resume the project at this time. Discussions between SAE and its client are ongoing, however, the Company is unsure whether this project will resume before year-end. The initiation of certain projects in Colombia and Bolivia was slightly delayed due to the permitting process, but both projects have since begun and are expected to be completed by Q2 2014.
Brian Beatty, CEO and President of SAE, commented, "The challenging operational issues we experienced during Q3 2013 were driven by a confluence of unusual and unforeseen circumstances. SAE's operational and technical personnel worked quickly and efficiently to repair the vessel and address the project delays in Colombia and Bolivia. Each of these projects is now moving towards completion. Although project delays do occur in the complex areas where we operate, the further postponement of the project in Alaska was unexpected. We remain confident in the fundamentals underlying our business, however, and we are optimistic about our long-term prospects."

Fellowship trainees whose career interests involve Research Investigation may wish to discuss options for additional training in clinical investigation, including the pursuit of an advanced degree. A wealth of opportunities exists for additional training through the Harvard Clinical and Translational Science Center (Harvard Catalyst) and the Harvard School of Public Health. Education programs/fellowships that past Infectious Disease fellows have participated in include:
The Summer Program in Clinical Effectiveness (PCE)
This intensive 7 week summer program provides a foundation for clinical research pursuits and may be applied towards the coursework required for a Masters in Public Health. The PCE is run under the auspices of the Harvard School of Public Health and is targeted toward physician scientists. Additional information can be found at their website: http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/clineff/
Masters of Public Health (MPH)
Some trainees find that completion of the Program in Clinical Effectiveness is a good introduction to clinical investigation, but because of their career goals, they require additional coursework leading to a Masters in Public Health (MPH) degree. Trainees may pursue this additional training, and may apply the PCE credits toward the MPH degree.
Coursework tuition must be arranged by the trainee. For additional information on the MPH at the Harvard School of Public Health, please visit: http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/admissions/
The Scholars in Clinical Science Program (SCSP)
The Scholars in Clinical Science Program (SCSP) is a two-year postgraduate training program in clinical investigation. The SCSP consists of formal didactic courses, a longitudinal seminar series, and a mentored clinical research project. Trainees who successfully complete the program are awarded a Master of Medical Sciences (MMSc) degree from Harvard Medical School.
The SCSP was established to address the critical need for formal training in clinical research, which is vital to the advancement of scientific knowledge and the development of improved treatments for human disease. The goal of the SCSP is to provide superior, coordinated didactic and practical training for individuals interested in careers in translational investigation (e.g., human physiology, pathophysiology, genetics), human pharmacology, and clinical trials. The program prepares trainees to be effective leaders of complex research groups, academic departments, academic medical centers, or industrial or managed care groups.
Additional information can be found on their website: http://www.catalyst.harvard.edu/services/scholars/
The Clinical Investigator's Training Program (CITP)
The two-year Clinical Investigator Training Program is a cooperative effort between Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School. The goal of the fellowship is the training of physicians from a variety of clinical disciplines in the techniques and processes utilized in patient-oriented research. The program is based on a specific curriculum that allows trainees to develop direct experience in the performance of clinical investigation and at the same time, through didactic course work, provides them with a strong foundation in the computational and statistical sciences, biomedical ethics, principles of clinical pharmacology, in vitro and in vivo measurement techniques, and many aspects of the drug development process. The program prepares graduates to follow a career path as clinical scientists who are skilled bedside clinicians, recognizing problems at the bedside and possessing the technical skill and knowledge to solve these problems at the bench. The program is funded by an unrestricted educational grant from Pfizer Inc, and Merck & Co., Inc.
The CITP is a two-year program that consists of both a didactic curriculum and a mentor-supervised research program. Each fellow is expected to commit 80% of their time to the program. The didactic curriculum is delivered on Tuesday afternoons except for two week long courses held annually in Study Design and Statistics. A week long course in Clinical Pharmacology is delivered biennially. In recognition of its academic and curricular strength the Harvard Medical School confers a Masters in Medical Science to each graduating CITP fellow when all requirements have been successfully met.
Click here for more information on the program, http://www.bidmc.org/citp.
Funding for these advanced educational training programs is not guaranteed. In many cases, funding for the PCE and MPH can be obtained through Harvard-wide training grants, or through specific fellowship training programs (link to Hospital Epi). In certain circumstances, the ID division has supported fellows to take the PCE when other resources were not available. However, this must be approved by the Infectious Disease Division Chief and the Program Director. Guidance in the careers of our trainees is of paramount importance to us, and we work closely with each fellow to help ensure that the necessary training resources are available to our fellows.
Infectious Diseases Fellowship Program Mimi Gunning, Fellowship Coordinator Lowry Medical Office Building, Suite GB 110 Francis Street Boston, MA 02215 P: 617-632-0760 F: 617-632-0766 firstname.lastname@example.com

—Chrystia Freeland ruminates on business journalism's image problem in the Times Book Review, and argues against the good-guys-vs.-bad-guys construction of the credit crisis that some commenters, including us and, apparently, Stieg Larsson's character Mikael Blomkvist, have been accused of falling into.
The argument says that it's bigger than all that—that it's systemic forces that shot John.
The overarching story is one of systemic failure, not individual wrongdoing. It wasn't the Bernie Madoffs who plunged the world into recession. It was low capital requirements, weak limits on leverage, over-the-counter traded derivatives, soft rules on mortgage lending and global financial imbalances.If your attention wandered as you read that list of abstract terms, you are not alone.
A growing body of cognitive research is demonstrating something schoolteachers and entertainers have known for a long time: Most of us respond better to personal stories than to impersonal numbers and ideas. That cognitive bias is so pronounced that Deborah Small, a professor of marketing at the Wharton School, has found that charitable giving actually goes down if too many statistics are included in individual tales of need (and if we get only statistics and don't learn any personal stories, giving is even lower). Forget "just the facts, ma'am." Actually, forget the facts altogether.For readers, that same bias means we are drawn to stories about people, not systems. When it comes to the financial crisis, we want heroes and villains and what-he-had-for-breakfast narratives; we are less enthralled by analytical accounts of the global financial system and the cycle of boom and bust. The Columbia Journalism Review—and Blomkvist—juxtapose the approaches of "access" and "investigative" journalists. But the real divide may be between storytellers and system analysts.
Couple things: As I've said before, a running-amok financial industry and system failure aren't mutually exclusive; indeed one could have triggered the other, and vice verse. To quoteth myself (well, she does call us "high priests of American journalism," though we think of ourselves as simple news monks):
Just because crises are complicated doesn't mean individual and institutions didn't play important roles, and complexity does not give the financial press a pass from its job of calling those actors to account on readers' behalf. Just the opposite is the case: institutions are decisive, and investigating them is Job One.
And, even if wrongdoing, defined as you wish, played no role at all, and it was all about "low capital requirements, weak limits on leverage, over-the-counter traded derivatives, soft rules on mortgage lending and global financial imbalances," it strikes me as dicey to talk about those things as though they were the weather, divorced entirely from human agency.
Also, the piece appears to veer toward saying readers be too stoopid to get the system story. If so, I beg to differ. I think they get it just fine.
—Bloomberg BusinessWeek takes a good look at a bad deal Chicago did with a Morgan Stanley-led partnership to lease the rights to collect parking meter fees. Of course, the price the city got is now found to have been low—unlike parking rates in the Loop:
Morgan Stanley's partnership has raised parking rates twice since the lease began. Fees at some central business district meters rose to $4.25 an hour from $3 since January 2009 and are scheduled to increase to $6.25 in 2013.
And that's for a parking meter. Here's what the city's not-excellent adviser, William Blair & Co., told an inspector general investigating the deal.
Blair said the agreement shields Chicago from economic uncertainties, such as reduced parking revenue if drivers switch to mass transit.
Uh, what?
But, you know, the deal only lasts for 75 years, which, for us Cub fans, isn't that long.
BizyWeek calls the deal a "cautionary tale." Just so.
—Louise Story had nicely balanced, maybe too balanced, look over the weekend at a study that asks whether there is a "possible connection" between income inequality and the financial crisis.
While people in the piece argue back-and-forth about the difference between correlation and causation—just because two things happened doesn't mean one caused the other—it's hard to argue that there's no connection whatever:
For his part, Mr. Moss said that income inequality might have complicated links to financial crises. For instance, inequality, by putting too much power in the hands of Wall Street titans, enables them to promote policies that benefit them — like deregulation — that could put the system in jeopardy.
That seems not unreasonable. And:
Inequality may also push people at the bottom of the ladder toward choices that put the financial system at risk, he said. And low-income homeowners could have better afforded their mortgages if not for the earnings gap.
Ya think?

Claude grew to young manhood in this community having spent his entire life on the farm home of the family.

Gos in his wisdom has recalled The flower He hath given, And tho' his body slumbers here, His soul is safe in Heaven.

Claude graduated from the Jewell high school in 1920. The Young family lived here several years and the Jewell folks, especially the old neighbors, feel that they still belong to us. There have been many experessions of sympathy on the part of friends here for this great loss of an only son to Mr. and Mrs. Young. The funeral service was held Tuesday in the Baptist church three miles east of Randall. The Rev. Glen Scoutne, a man who has been so useful for so many years in that wide community, conducted the service in the presence of a large audience. A number of Jewell friends attended the service. The casket was borne by young men of that community. Burial was in the Randall cemetery. The obituary notice is published elsewhere in this issue. Claude Young was a quiet, reliable, dependable young man. That is the way we all think of him. Not a long life but a worthy life. The family now consists of Mr. and Mrs. Young and their only daughter, Miss Susan. It seems little anyone can do to help or comfort in such a time, but the family have hundreds of neighbors and friends about them who will do all they can and wish they knew how to do more. Jewell County Republican, Thursday, September 24, 1936 newspaper obituary Claude Earl Young, son of Mr. & Mrs. Edgar Young, was born Sept 15, 1899, at the family home near Randall, where he spent his entire life, witht the exception of a few years in Jewell.

He passed from this life Sept. 20, 1936. He leaves to mourn his early death, his father, mother, and sister Susan, many other relatives and a host of friends. |

Jewell issues Latics warning
15 Jan 2007 - 14:36:36
Wigan Athletic boss Paul Jewell has told his side to tighten up at the back to arrest their slide towards the Premiership relegation zone.
A 4-0 thrashing at Chelsea left the Latics just two points ahead of third-bottom West Ham United and facing a nervy next few months.
Jewell said after a sixth straight league defeat: "We can't afford to give any team three goals, let alone Chelsea.
"When you go to Chelsea you have to play to the best of your ability, but we gave them three goals.
"We are making basic mistakes at the moment and you don't want to be giving goals away coming to Chelsea.
"We have to take the blame collectively. We all make mistakes, I won't blame individuals.
"We take it on the chin and it is up to us to try and stop it. We are making serious errors and getting punished at the moment."

Today I went and got 14 gallons of RO water. I had two 7 gallon containers when I got home I checked the Ph and it was about 5, which I thought was pretty low. I had previously had star san in them which has a low Ph but I poured it all out, and You always hear dont fear the foam so I was not worried to much about it. Tomorrow I am going to take a clean gallon jug and get some more and check to see if the residual star san in the containers is what brought the PH down or if the RO water really is that low. Does anyone use RO water and know what the Ph usually runs, I guess it may differ from area to area not sure though? I went ahead and brewed the mash ph looked fine?
RO water has negligible mineral content, and therefore little buffering capacity. So the pH is largely irrelevant. What is relevant is the pH of your mash. It will acidify your water, and without any buffering power, it could drop too low for effective enzyme activity. So generally, it is a bad idea to brew with only RO water unless you are doing extract. It is a great idea to use RO water for your StarSan. You don't WANT any of those minerals in that case, because they may degrade the highly acidic solution, which is what is responsible for the lethal power of Star San solution.
Since I'm a chemist and I've actually worked for a company that made RO units, I feel I should comment even though I'm not an AG brewer yet. In the lab we always get low pH on distilled and deionized water samples. It means very little when you're dealing with ultra pure water. In fact water that pure can take in atmospheric carbon dioxide quite readily, which will acidify it slightly until you get some solids in there. Now what it means to brewing, well you got me. But you'll be heating it, which should mean it degasses. However ultrapure hot water is quite aggressive, so here's a question: is extracting tannins an issue with this type of water? I wouldn't think so, because the sugar would go in faster making it not ultrapure anymore. But I'm curious.
Primary Fermenter 1: Beer Primary Fermenter 2: Empty Secondary Fermenter: Empty Bottled: ESB Stout Drinking: Nothing
I usually take 12 gallons of RO and and mix it with 2 gallons of filtered tap...It usually gets me in the ball park.....I just thought that the Ph of the RO was unusually low. I dont think extracting tannins is an issue unless your mash ph or sparge water ph is too high, or you hit your mash with water above 170F. If your making say a Light american lager....You dont hardley need to add anything to RO except acid........But if your making an IPA....you add quite a bit.....Thats what the guys in the brew club do anyway, they usually get lots of medals so I believe it to be true.
To a chemist like myself a pH of 5 is a high pH. A low pH would be 12......please apply appropriately what pH really is. Boy I've had too much Yerba Mate and Guarana this morning. Off my high horse now......
As a homebrewer, I see it differantly. Its a tall horse not a high horse.
I also think he meant Hydronium Ion, (H+)

13. Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty (2001)
This game's winding, twisted narrative was a total mess, but gosh darn it, it stuck its flag in the ground and proclaimed that videogame stories had the right to be twisted messes. Nobody actually knows what the hell happened when Raiden went creeping around Big Shell, but Hideo Kojima was right to suggest by extreme example that action games didn't have to just be about a good guy kicking the asses of generic bad guys. Every videogame story that subverts a player's expectations owes a debt to the ground broken by Metal Gear Solid 2. –Chris Kohler

Church services were canceled Sunday at First Baptist, Lane Lincoln and several others in the community due to inclement weather.

Six couples at Sunrise Manor Nursing Home celebrated Valentine's Day with a Sweetheart Luncheon hosted by the Quality of Life and Medical Records Department. The nursing home's chapel was transformed into a cozy restaurant decorated in pink and red, Hershey kisses, hearts, fluted glasses and a rose for the ladies. The menu was pork tenderloin, hash brown casserole, green beans, macaroni and cheese, dinner roll and fancy cheesecake. The elders reminisced about their first dates or how they met.
The LaRue County Hawks lost Tuesday night in the opening round of the 18th District Tournament.
Third-seeded Green County built a double-digit lead less than 8 minutes and never trailed in a 65-61 win over the second-seeded Hawks at Hawk gym.
LaRue County shot 34.5 percent in the first half to Green County's scorching 60 percent, but the Hawks were still within 34-27 at the break after senior forward Caleb Sheffer made 1-of-2 free throws during a lonely trip to the foul line since he was fouled at the buzzer.
Despite the snow, former Hodgenville mayor Terry Cruse and former city clerk MaDonna Hornback reported Monday as scheduled to Nelson County Jail in Bardstown to begin serving their 30-day sentences.
The two pleaded guilty in Nelson Circuit Court to multiple felony counts a week ago for inappropriate use of the city's credit cards to fuel personal vehicles and claiming mileage for which the two were ineligible.
During a break in practice Monday afternoon, LaRue County freshman guard Presley Brown said the Lady Hawks could shock the 18th District on Tuesday night in tournament semifinals against second-seeded Caverna.
Had her midcourt, buzzer-beating 3-pointer fallen instead of rimming out, Brown and the third-seeded Lady Hawks might have pulled off a shocker. Instead, the balanced — and sometimes lucky — Lady Colonels survived, 58-55.

A New Haven woman was injured Wednesday, Feb. 18, when she was struck by a pickup.
Kenneth Goodgine, 57, of Bardstown, was driving a 1991 Chevrolet extended cab truck north on Bardstown Road in the Athertonville area. About 7:10 p.m. the pickup met a southbound truck "that had bright lights," according to a sheriff's report.
Angie Pitchford left her home on West High Street Monday morning to return books to the library – just down the street. She returned home to find the two-story frame house covered in heavy smoke.
"The library books were overdue," she said. "We were renewing them so we could keep checking out."

Creating a Web-based BBS, Part 1
Since each message must belong to a thread, we will first look at how a thread is created. A thread is no more than a single row in the ATFThreads table, so our thread-creation program will be fairly simple.
The three listings referred to in this article are available for anonymous download at ftp.linuxjournal.com/pub/lj/listings/issue57/3193.tgz. They are not printed here due to space considerations.
Add-thread.pl (Listing 1 in the archive file) uses the contents of an HTML form to insert a new row into ATFThreads. However, it performs some additional manipulation as well, to ensure that the data will be retrievable in a useful way.
We can use either single or double quotes around text strings in SQL queries. Double quotes are used by DBI for parameters and thus exclude the possibility of using quotation marks. We therefore use single quotes around our text strings. However, this raises the issue of how to pass single quotes to the program. A simple solution is to perform a substitution on each of the text strings generated by the user. For example:
$value{"subject"} = $query->param("subject"); $value{"subject"} =~ s/\'/\'\'/g;
We can do even better by using the built-in $dbh->quote method, which quotes a text string for us. $dbh->quote decides whether to use single or double quotes and also handles special characters, such as quotation marks and question marks, with ease. We use a foreach loop to quote each of the elements:
# Get the form parameters foreach my $element (qw(subject text author email)) { $value{$element} = $dbh->quote($query->param($element)); }Once we have done this, we can be sure that $value{$element} is suitable for insertion into the database.
We also perform several substitutions on the "text" HTML element, which contains the text that starts the thread. To begin, we remove all HTML tags, so as to prevent people from linking to all sorts of crazy sites. While it might be desirable to allow people to include HTML in their postings, it could also lead to chaos if formatting commands were inserted. I decided to be slightly draconian and disallowed all HTML. We do that by removing everything between < and >:
$text =~ s/<.*?>//sg;
Notice how we use Perl's non-greedy operator *? instead of * to remove the HTML tag. If we were to use * and the line had two HTML tags, Perl would remove everything from the first < through the final >. We use the /s modifier to tell Perl that . includes all characters, including new lines. Without /s, \n would not be included in ., which means a two-line tag such as
would be ignored.
We then make sure new lines are treated correctly, first removing multiple new lines and then replacing them with HTML paragraph markers:
$text =~ s/\r\n/\n/g; $text =~ s/\r/\n/g; $text =~ s|\n\n|
\n<\P>|gi;
Once it has performed all of these tasks, add-thread.pl creates the SQL query that will insert the new thread into ATFThreads:
my $sql = "INSERT INTO ATFThreads "; $sql .= " (subject, text, author, email, date) "; $sql .= "VALUES ($values, NOW())";We insert the date of the thread for future use, but also so that we can sort the threads in the order of their creation.
The program which lists threads, appropriately named list-threads.pl (Listing 2 in the archive file), uses a SELECT query to retrieve all of the rows from ATFThreads:
my $sql = "SELECT id,subject FROM ATFThreads ORDER BY subject";
After performing an $sth->execute, it checks to see how many rows were returned. If none were returned, we indicate that no threads have yet been created. If threads exist, we iterate through the results with $sth->fetchrow, which places the query result into @row. We can pull out the elements of @row and print a list:
if ($sth->rows) { print "
\n"; while (my @row = $sth->fetchrow) { print "
 "; print "$row[1]\n"; } print "
\n"; $sth->finish; }Users are presented with an alphabetical list of thread titles, each of which is a hyperlink to view-thread.pl (Listing 3 in the archive file), described below. As you can see, the argument to view-thread.pl is the id value of the thread, the defined primary key.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

PHILADELPHIAIn 1824, three years before he began to publish his famous "double elephant folio" The Birds of America, John James Audubon (1785-1851), the eminent artist of American birds and animals, created a drawing of a running grouse for use in the design for a New Jersey bank note. Although the artist mentions the drawing and the resulting engraved paper money in two separate diary entries, no one has ever been able to locate or identify such an illustration.
Now, after a decade-long search by an Audubon scholar from Philadelphia's Academy of Natural Sciences and a numismatic historian from St. Louis, Audubon's first published illustration of a bird has been discovered.
In a forthcoming article in the Journal of the Early Republic, Robert M. Peck, curator of art and artifacts and senior fellow at the Academy of Natural Sciences, and the article's lead author, and Eric Newman, an authority on American money, reveal their discovery and explain how Audubon's fledgling entry into the visual world of commerce took place. The find is important not only for solving the puzzle of the missing engraving, but also because it illustrates Audubon's development as an artist of American subjects. It also provides a rare, contemporary view of the Heath Hen, a subspecies of running grouse that has become extinct since Audubon portrayed the bird in the early 19th century.
The search for the missing engraving
In 1955, Audubon biographer Alice Ford began a decade-long search for the lost engraving in both the U.S. and Great Britain, but without success. In 1960, William H. Dillistin, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and a noted numismatic scholar, made his own systematic search for the Audubon bank note. Dillistin was no more successful than Ford.
Several of Audubon's more recent biographers also have searched in vain for the bank note Audubon mentioned. Unable to find the evidence of Audubon's claim, some scholars h

What do you all think of genetic counseling? I think it's personally a joke, it's eugenics in a disguise. Now not all I think is wrong but remember what God said to Moses: Who made the deaf, mute, the seeing or the blind? Was it not I?
I'm really not sure what "genetic counseling" is, but I know several people getting DNA tests to see what their lineage is, etc. I just tell them they're nuts and are paying for tests, out of their own pockets, where this information is probably being reserved for a national data base. There are some court rulings proclaiming any blood drawn out of you no longer belongs to you. Not a long trip to conclude the same "rationale" applies to DNA as well.
WKU, Genetic counseling is when parents, or potential parents-to-be at risk of passing on a genetic disorder to offspring are counseled about options, treatments, and death stats. I think it's all crap because no one really KNOWS what's gonna happen in the future. I know a girl who just celebrated her 32 birthday, her parents were told she wouldn't live past 12. That's also why I never opted for the screening during pregnancy, I knew that if God's plan was for me to have a specific child, that's who I would get, and I would love them the same. Even if they were only around for 5 minutes, or confined to a bed for 50.
This is one of those difficult areas to me. I can see the value of it if there is a history of particular birth defects or genetic disorders in the family. It would be good to know whether or not you carry the gene. My cousin took a chance, hoping she did not have a gene for a disorder that is potentially life-threatening during pregnancy. Her mother does not have it, and her aunts do. Both of them had very difficult pregnancies. She chose to get pregnant, hoping she did not have the gene. She nearly died. I think I'd want to know if I had something like this. On the other hand, I think this will be abused. People will be counselled to abort children, I suspect. I know that a dr. advised me and my husband to abort one of my children because she had Trisomy 18, but we didn't do it. (By the way, I'm glad to see you back.)
hmm....actually one of my favorite movies in GATTACA. Idk if you have seen it but it's similar. There's this guy who was conceived the natural way...no genetically engineered from his parent's DNA to represent the best of them like his younger brother was.....well basically he wants to e an astronaut and so....well here's the synopsis: Gattaca - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shiloh...I can understand what you're saying, but a person can have a difficult pregnancy and almost die even without some funky gene. With my oldest, I contracted Viral Meningitis at 5 months, had a guy break into my barracks and assault me, and went into pre-term labor and put on bed rest. With my youngest I had a placental abruption, and we both almost died. Knowing or not knowing doesn't protect someone, and it can create more fear. Plus, if parents are known to carry a gene for a disorder, more extreme, invasive tests are ordered if pregnancy is achieved, which leads to more amniocentesis, (which can cause miscarriage) and more abortions. It's not saving anyone. I hope this doesn't come off as harsh, I say it with love.

A 75-year-old New York woman found her fortune in a cookie.
Emma Duvoll won $2 million in a recent Powerball drawing after playing the numbers found in her fortune cookie.
The retired Bronx resident bought the lottery ticket after dining at a Chinese restaurant in Greenwich Village.
The Daily News reports that the owner of Sammy's Noodle Shop & Grill joked that maybe the waiters should get 20 percent of her winnings.
Duvoll, a retired deli owner, picked up her prize on Thursday. She purchased the ticket for the Feb. 1 drawing at the Hannaford Pharmacy in upstate Pine Bush.
She plans to invest her winnings and may splurge on a trip to Switzerland to see relatives.

Florida's new approach to inmate reform: a 'faith-based' prison
Ken Cooper is a convicted bank robber whose life changed after visits in jail from a retired Sunday School teacher. Now, he's getting the chance to return the favor.
Wednesday Mr. Cooper, who has become an evangelical minister, will give the prayer of dedication at a Florida experiment in inmate rehabilitation: America's first totally "faith-based prison."
The medium-security facility will house only inmates who have chosen to take part in rehabilitation programs run by volunteers from religious groups.
While controversial to critics who see it blurring church-state lines, the program aims to become a model for correctional systems that have long struggled to break the cycle of recidivism.
Every year, Florida's jail officers say farewell to about 25,000 inmates at the end of their sentences. But roughly the same number of new prisoners arrive at their doors. And of those who are released, nearly half commit new crimes within five years.
To advocates such as Cooper, many of whom have been through those prison gates themselves, the best way out involves desire, discipline, and the divine.
"Faith is what makes a difference. If you change what's inside you, you have the opportunity to live your life," says Cooper, who expects that 90 percent of those involved in the Lawtey Correctional Institution program in Raiford, Florida, will not reoffend.
That's an ambitious goal, given the tidal trend of inmate recidivism. "It's like the sea flowing in and out," said Sterling Ivey, spokesman for Florida's Department of Corrections. "You lose some, but then you gain some. It's a pretty relentless cycle."
In the program, volunteers will act as personal mentors, offering support to each inmate both during their incarceration and as they settle back into the community after serving their sentences.

Unfortunately, one person who will not go away from Sunday's game is the special team's coach, Scott O'Brien. He was fired by Denver for good reason. Sunday, our kickoffs were short, we gave up a 62 yard kickoff return, our kickoff returns were non-existant, two penalties on punt returns gave us poor field position, and we gave up a 30 yard run on a fake punt.

Forget the pirates and newbie X-men: This summer is all about the small films
Though the summer movie slate includes a record 27 prequels, sequels, and spinoffs, it it still shaping up to be a great year for smaller, specialty films, say experts.
Dean Rogers / The Weinstein Company / AP
Los Angeles
This year's franchise-laden summer movie slate – with a record 27 sequels, prequels, and spinoffs – casts a mighty shadow over the warm-weather filmgoing landscape.
But despite the presence of every popcorn fave from X-Men to Harry Potter and Pirates of the Caribbean, there are some signs that small films – which make up three-quarters of theatrical films in any given year – just might be on track to get some sunshine of their own.
Consider this past weekend's performance of such high-toned films as Terence Malick's "Tree of Life" and Woody Allen's "Midnight in Paris." While both opened in only a handful of theaters, each placed in the top 12 on a per-screen box office basis, says Paul Dergarabedian, a box office expert with Hollywood.com.
"It looks like we are on track to have a very good summer for the specialty films," says Mr. Dergarabedian, noting that while blockbusters tend to sell themselves, "these smaller, specialty films rely heavily on critical reviews."
Many in the film industry were wringing their hands not even a month ago as box office returns dropped 20 percent from the previous year. But in a few short weeks, particularly bolstered by the strongest Memorial Day weekend box office in movie history – some $280 million – the box office take has rebounded to surpass the same period in 2010.
