Things to do in Montenegro
You'll never lack for things to do in Montenegro, especially if you are willing to visit all four major regions. When you visit the north coast region, you'll have the chance to explore an an-cient town and visit the old towns of Kotor, Herceg Novi, and Budva. Travel to the south coast region to visit Skadar Lake, which has a wildlife reserve, beaches, and a fortress. Visit the famed pebble beach at Valdanos or dine at one of the many riverside restaurants in Ada Bojana. If you somehow run out of things to do in Montenegro, continue on to the northern and central regions of the country.
The northern region is the place to go if you are interested in skiing and enjoying Montenegro's natural beauty. Popular destinations in this area include Kolasin, Tara River Gorge, and Biograd-sko Lake. If you are thinking about what to do in Montenegro, don't forget about the country's many beaches. Sunbathe or stroll along the beach at Bar, Tivat, Ulcinj, Budva, or Kotor. Don't miss the country's wine region, either, which produces fine Cabernets. Small-batch vintages are paired with local specialties like mussels, lobster, and vegetables at a growing list of top-shelf restaurants.
The central region of Montenegro has a famous monastery, the country's capital, and archeologi-cal remains from Roman times. If you're still having trouble finding out what to do in Montene-gro, ask the locals for some recommendations. They're very friendly!
Our Lady of the Rocks (Godpa od _krpjela) is a man-made reef of sunken ships on which locals built a votive chapel and a blue-domed church to the Virgin Mary, all of which seems to float magically on the calm waters of the gulf.
The atmosphere at Ostrog, a vertical complex of cave-churches and monasteries carved out of the face of a cliff high above the River Zeta, is intense. Pilgrims comes from all over the world to this spectacular shrine, which has a reputation for miraculous cures.
A twin-towered Romanesque beauty consecrated in 1166.
Built in 1838, the palace was the residence of the prince-bishop Petar II Petrovic Njego_ and named affectionately after the billiard table he imported from Italy.
The tidy whitewashed enclave with its orchards and beehives and rose-covered cloisters, bears witness to a private peace, despite the many visitors to this active monastery.
Grab a guide and spend a day whitewater rafting on the Tara River. When you enter a peaceful stretch, take the time to look up the soaring sides of Tara Canyon - the deepest in Europe - to a narrow strip of blue sky above. Amble by a solitary monastery or pause to rest on a sandy spit.
Some of Europe's best white-water rafting is at this UNESCO World Heritage site.
The museum is located in the former palace of King Nicholas I, the last sovereign of Montenegro, who died in 1921. The modest, suffocating salons of his palace recall the comic-opera atmosphere of The Merry Widow.
Around the Square of Weapons (Trg od Oruzja), there are cafés, discos, and restaurants, even an Irish-themed pub; designer stores sit next to real estate offices, and boutique hotels are being fixed up for the discerning.

The past year has brought to light both the promise and the frustration of developing new drugs to treat melanoma, the most deadly form of skin cancer. Early clinical tests of a candidate drug aimed at a crucial cancer-causing gene revealed impressive results in patients whose cancers resisted all currently available treatments. Unfortunately, those effects proved short-lived, as the tumors invariably returned a few months later, able to withstand the same drug to which they first succumbed. Adding to the disappointment, the reasons behind these relapses were unclear.
Now, a research team led by scientists at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT has unearthed one of the key players behind such drug resistance. Published in the November 25 issue of the journal Nature, the researchers pinpoint a novel cancer gene, called COT (also known as MAP3K8), and uncover the signals it uses to drive melanoma. The research underscores the gene as a new potential drug target, and also lays the foundation for a generalized approach to identify the molecular underpinnings of drug resistance in many forms of cancer.
"In melanoma as well as several other cancers, there is a critical need to understand resistance mechanisms, which will enable us to be smarter up front in designing drugs that can yield more lasting clinical responses," said senior author Levi Garraway, a medical oncologist and assistant professor at Dana-Farber and Harvard Medical School, and a senior associate member of the Broad Institute. "Our work provides an unbiased method for approaching this problem not only for melanoma, but for any tumor type."
More than half of all melanoma tumors carry changes (called "mutations") in a critical gene called B-RAF. These changes not only alter the cells' genetic makeup, but also render them dependent on certain growth signals. Recent tests of drugs that selectively exploit this dependency, known as R

Keywords: Park City, Lodging, Canyons, Ski, condo, Silverado, lodge, hotel, condominium, vacation, rental, vrbo, homeaway
We really enjoyed staying at this condo with our 3 adult children (5 total adults). the unit is exactly as advertised. The Silverado is very centrally located and the facilities are very nice. We'd stay here again.
Clean. Close to Canyons. Parking is garaged. Simple and nice accommodations.
Lovely condo and wonderfully helpful staff. Initially, I was concerned about not being within walking distance of the lifts as we're used to. But we found that the nearly immediate shuttle service was superior to walking. Great place.
The title says it all. Accomodations were perfect, everything was as described and promised and the service from White Pines was nothing less than 5 star. thank you!
Spent Thanksgiving weekend in Park City with friends and really enjoyed staying at this great Condo. Park City itself is wonderful with good restaurants, shops and even its own distillery. Canyons has world class skiing in winter and biking, hiking and golf in summer. The Silverado lodge at Canyons is only a few years old so very modern and in good shape. You can see the ski lift from this unit's balcony.
The condo is two bedrooms and 3 baths with a kitchen in the living room between the bedrooms. Looks just like the pictures except they got a bigger TV for the living room. It is roomy with TVs and fireplaces in all 3 rooms so you can spread out a bit if you want. The Salt Lake City airport is only about 35 minutes away so easy to get to and from flights. Garage under the Lodge if you have a rental car keeps it out of the weather.
Very clean, quiet, and very spacious nice rooms.
This is condo style, not a full service hotel. But great if you want a nice high quality room/rooms with full kitchen.
We had a great time and would come back again.
Located close to the central village of the Canyons Ski Resort, with ski-slope access, numerous restaurants, and local concerts and special events.

- Project owner
- Harriet Wright
We're raising £500 to buy Harriet 2 limbs for cycling & social events. because it will enable Harriet to live life to the full.
- Amount Raised
- £1,520
- Target
- £500
- days left
- 0
What's the problem we're trying to solve?
To enable Harriet to live a full active normal life, especially being a girl who loves sports and social events as a cadet in the air training core. Harriet has never been able to enjoy sports as she would wish and our fund raising will enable this to finally become a reality.
Why do we care about this project?
Harriet is our Daughter whom we have seen deteriorate during the past year with severe arthritis, causing extreme acute pain and discomfort. It would be great to see Harriet cycling and running, basically enjoying life to the full and most importantly seeing her a happy healthy teenager.
How will the money be spent?
We need to raise funds to buy two prosthetic limbs, the total cost for the two limbs is £16,000. One is a social leg, which appears exactly as her right leg. The second limb is a cycling leg, which will enable Harriet to cycle. As Harriet has always wanted to do cycling and never been able to.We have already raised £4.700.00. We need to raise £11.300.00. So we do still have a way to go.
When will we see the difference?
This will be an ongoing fund due to the expensive cost of the limbs, until we have reached our target of £16.000. However, we aim to achieve our target in approx five months time when Harriets leg has settled into the correct shape to take the prosthetic limbs. You can keep up to date with Harriet's progress by going on Harriet Wright's fundraising page on Facebook.
About me
Harriet Wright
On 13/05/2013 our daughter Harriet underwent surgery to have her left leg amputated below the knee. Harriet was born with severe club feet leading to her being wheelchair bound. Harriet changed her life for the better and we are raising funds to obtain two prosthetic limbs.

Dwarf / Potted Fig
I am interested in growing a small potted fig tree. Something no taller than 2-3 feet and that bears a few fruit. Something like this:
I am not familiar with dwarf plants. How are they created? Do you just keep plant in a small pot? Can I just take a cutting from my large backyard fig tree and keep it in a small pot?
I'm not sure that a true dwarf fig tree exists. No doubt some trees are better than other for fig culture, but it's not like apples where there are specific root stocks that have been developed over many years and are used via grafting.
Many folks grow all different varieties of fig trees in pots and get fruit. A 2-3 foot tree can produce fruit if pruned properly.
By all means take a cutting from your tree and stick it in a pot. You may want to do three in case one or two don't take. Then after the summer you can keep the biggest one. Or all three (but not in the same pot).
If you keep it indoors during the winter make sure it is either in a cold garage (so it can stay dormant, but not frozen) or, if you are going to keep it growing (more difficult), in a place that is sunny enough to keep it going through the winter (large south-facing window is best). If it goes all winter without any direct sunlight it will not do well.
All fig trees can be pot grown and maintained(pruned) small.
Not sure which F.carica qualifies as being a true dwarf?
I have heard that Petit Nigra is one, but from
my experiece, it is not much different in growth
from its cousin, the VdB.
One fig I do have that seems to mantain shallow
(horizontal) growth in pot is my
Wuhan (SSE-LA MC R 06) fig, org. China
Another fig_nut person just started a similar thread on the other fig forum.
I may be of some more interest to you:
Here is a link that might be useful: dwarf varieties
Yes indeed, true dwarf and fruiting fig trees do in fact exist. Here is a listing for a dwarf Brown Turkey fig tree on eBay.
Here is a link that might be useful: True dwarf fig tree
Growing any tree as a 'bonsai' is very different from it being a true dwarf.
Most trees can be 'maintained' that way (as bonsai); wonder if the Giant Sequoia can be tamed too?
As an example of a true dwarf, which I have, is the Pixie bougainvillea (most are climbers).
Dwarf definition:
a. An abnormally small person, often having limbs and features atypically proportioned or formed. b. An atypically small animal or plant.
Like I've said earlier, that listing was for a true DWARF fig tree. That dwarf is not your "typical" brown turkey fig tree.
Plant that bonsai in the ground and it will grow to "normal" fig tree size. Golem jade- dwarf, Tom Thumb lettuce- dwarf, Pistou basil- dwarf. These have genetics to be small on their own without any help.
Figs do not need to be dwarfed like an apple tree does, apples in most orchards I have seen are dwarfed to fig tree size actually.
There are ways to produce a true dwarf fig tree other than genetics. WetEars (the original poster) expressed an interest in growing one. I have graciously provided a link to such a desired true dwarf and fruiting fig tree......and for a very reasonable price.
Sounds like mad scientist stuff to me KingFig. I do not think that a bonsai is what the op wants though. They said 3 foot up there and your bonsai is only like 9 inches and would have to be retrained to be like what they want. That trunk would have to go and the top reworked from a sucker and all that would take years and require lots of knowledge to pull off.
That turkey is clogged up so freaking bad. Did anyone else notice the high-tide line on the trunk? lol

The field of finance in business has been one of the most rapidly expanding areas of study in the business world. When pursuing a degree in finance, you are preparing yourself to join the business field in areas such as financial planning, investment management, and financial analysis.
Due to the rising number of students wishing to pursue business degrees and technology getting better, it is now possible to receive a finance degree through online education. When pursuing an online degree in finance, you could expect to take all of the same courses that you would in a regular on-campus program, but from the comfort of your own home.
Some of the courses you may take when pursuing a finance degree online involve business administration, financial analysis, investment principles, and banking. You could also take classes involving basic computational math skills, statistics, and possibly some upper level math courses. Other classes that you may take could be elective classes that allow you to specialize in areas that interest you. Some possible electives might include international finance, business psychology, or risk management.
A finance bachelor's degree program usually takes four years to complete, but this could depend on factors like your enrollment status. Most bachelor's degree programs will require you to take general education courses in addition to the business classes. In many online programs you may be able to take classes at your own pace, which means the length of time may be longer, or shorter, depending on how much time you are able to set aside for classes.
While online programs in finance may be more flexible than traditional on-campus programs, there are still expectations of you as a student. Many programs expect that you will be able to devote a certain amount of hours a week to your course of study, such as fifteen to twenty hours. You may also be expected to turn projects in by set due dates. Some programs may require that you travel to the actual university or a testing center in order to take class tests or finals, so you should check with your school to find out if you might have to do this.
It is important to be aware of the expectations of each program before deciding to pursue an online degree in business and finance. Once you find a program that works for you, the rewards you may receive through enhancing your career could be well worth the time that you invest.
Q:What can I learn from an online business degree program?
A:Online business degree programs normally follow the same curriculum as on campus degrees. This online degree teaches you the basic concepts and various perspectives of business management. You will also gain a well rounded education by being introduced to elective subjects such as risk management, finance management, microeconomics, corporate finance, macroeconomics, accounting, statistics and international finance.
Q:What are the main areas of concentration of online business certificate programs?
A:Online business certificate programs focus on practical skills that employers demand from today's business management professionals. The main areas of focus include fundamentals of accounting, fundamentals of finance, fundamentals of marketing, fundamentals of management, organizational management, business development, project management, strategic leadership and negotiation, and legal and ethical issues in business.
Q:What is the normal duration of a degree in business? What kinds of options are available if I want to pursue a degree in business?
A:A typical bachelors degree in business takes on average four years to complete, however, the duration may vary across universities and programs. A number of options are available if one wants to pursue a degree in business. These include degrees in: Business Administration, Business Law, Business and Finance, Business Analytics, Business Marketing, Business Intelligence, and Business Studies.
Q:how long does it take to get a business degree
A:Business degrees can be pursued at all levels of post-secondary education. An associate degree in business can take 2 years to complete whereas a bachelor degree will take 4 years. At the master's level, graduate business degrees take 2 years to complete. There are a few business schools that offer accelerated programs where you can take on intensive workload and finish your degree earlier. You should keep in mind that the degree requirements and duration of a business program may vary from college to college.
Q:What can you do with a degree in business?
A:A business degree can open doors to a vast range of career opportunities in the private and public sector. Most firms require competent individuals to handle administrative and managerial tasks. Individuals can also choose to specialize in a certain field such as marketing, finance, human resource etc. The level of degree and area of specialization will play a great role in determining the type of career one can pursue. Business degree holders can work for consulting companies, banks, accounting firms, investment firms, marketing firms, retail organizations, and more. Common job positions include: marketing managers, finance manager, administrative assistant, financial analyst, etc. With an undergraduate degree, one can qualify for entry-level jobs. For more advanced job positions, a masters or doctoral degree in business may be required. The income level will vary from job to job.
Q:What do business majors do?
A:Business majors learn a variety of skills and gain knowledge on a number of business practices in order to seek out jobs in the public and private sectors. They may work as business consultants, marketing managers, financial analysts', or as a management trainee. Business majors have a very broad range of options to choose from.

Muscadine Grape seed
karyn1(7a)September 3, 2007
I have seeds from green and red muscadine grapes. Will these grow true and when should they be planted? Do they need a period of cold to germinate?
From what I've read on several sites, it will take at least 3 years for your plants to produce fruit. Some have said it will produce a fruit similar to the parent, some have said you might get a surprise :) I've got seeds I'm planning on planting myself, but I have no idea what a "rapid grow" solution is. And 200 days in the fridge? Wowzers..I'm guessing if you're going to grow these, you need to be in it for the (very) long haul. With loads of patience.

text: Bowles Dismisses GOP Fiscal Cliff Offer Based On Bowles' Testimony December 3, 2012, 5:27 PM EST White House deficit commission co-chair Erskine Bowles, whose testimony Republicans cited as the model for their counter-offer to avoid the fiscal cliff, dismissed the GOP proposal. In a statement Monday afternoon, Bowles, a former Clinton White House chief of staff, said that "circumstances have changed since" his remarks to the super committee in Nov. 2011, during which he offered a set of revenue and spending targets that formed the basis for the Republican offer presented in a letter to the White House today. "In my testimony before the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction, I simply took the mid-point of the public offers put forward during the negotiations to demonstrate where I thought a deal could be reached at that time," Bowles' statement said. "The Joint Select Committee failed to reach a deal, and circumstances have changed since then. It is up to negotiators to figure out where the middle ground is today." "While I'm flattered the Speaker would call something 'the Bowles plan,'" he said, "the approach outlined in the letter Speaker Boehner sent to the President does not represent the Simpson-Bowles plan, nor is it the Bowles plan."

Work the Shell - Counting Cards
In my last few columns, we've had a good stab at starting to build a Blackjack game within the confines and capabilities of the shell. The last column wrapped up the discussion of how to shuffle an array of 52 integer values and how to unwrap a given card to identify suit and rank so it can be displayed attractively.
This column goes further into the mathematics of Blackjack, with a routine that can be given an array of cards and return the numeric value of the hand. If you're a Blackjack player though, you'll instantly catch something we're skipping for now. In Blackjack, an Ace can be scored as having one point or 11 points, which is how the hand of Ace + King can be a blackjack (that is, worth 21 points).
We'll just count the Ace as being worth 11 points for this first pass through the game, and perhaps later we'll come back and add the nuance of having the Ace be worth one or 11. Note, by the way, that this adds significant complexity, because there are then four ways to score the hand of Ace + Ace (as 2, 12, 12 or 22), so theoretically, the routine that returns the numeric value of a given hand actually should return an array of values.
But, let's start with the straightforward case. Last month, I showed how to extract the rank of a given card with the equation:
rank=$(( $card % 13 ))
In a typically UNIX way, rank actually ranges from 0-12, rather than the expected 1-13, so because we'd like to leave cards #2-10 in each suit to be the corresponding value, that means we have the rather odd situation where rank 0 = King, rank 1 = Ace, rank 11 = Jack and rank 12 = Queen. No matter, really, because we're going to have to map card rank into numeric values anyway for one or more of the cards—however we slice it.
With that in mind, here's a function that can turn a set of card values into a point value, remembering that all face cards are worth ten points and that, for now, the Ace is worth only 11 points:
function handValue { # feed this as many cards as are in the hand handvalue=0 # initialize for cardvalue do rankvalue=$(( $cardvalue % 13 )) case $rankvalue in 0|11|12 ) rankvalue=10 ;; 1 ) rankvalue=11 ;; esac handvalue=$(( $handvalue + $rankvalue )) done }
Let's examine some nuances to this before we go much further. First, notice that the conditional case statements can be pretty sophisticated, so we catch the three situations of rankvalue = 0 (King), rankvalue = 11 (Jack) and rankvalue = 12 (Queen) with a succinct 0|11|12 notation.
What I like even better with this function is that by using the for loop without specifying a looping constraint, the shell automatically steps through all values given to the function and then terminates, meaning we have a nice, flexible function that will work just as well with four or five cards as it would with only two. (It turns out that you can't have more than five cards in a Blackjack hand, because if you get five cards and haven't gone over a point value of 21, you have a "five card monty", and it's rather a good hand!)
Invoking this is typically awkward, as are all functions in the shell, because you can't actually return a value and assign it to a variable or include it in an echo statement or something similar. Here's how we can easily calculate the initial point values of the player's hand and the dealer's:
handValue ${player[1]} ${player[2]} echo "Player's hand is worth $handvalue points" handValue ${dealer[1]} ${dealer[2]} echo "Dealer's hand is worth $handvalue points"
Blackjack is a game that's very much in the dealer's favor, because the player has to take cards and play through the hand before the dealer has to take a single card. There's a significant house advantage for this reason, but in this case, we now can have a loop where we ask players if they want to receive another card (a "hit") or stick with the hand they have (a "stand") by simply keeping track of their cards and invoking handValue after each hit to ensure they haven't exceeded 21 points (a "bust").
To get this working though, we have to restructure some of the code (not an uncommon occurrence as a program evolves). Instead of simply referencing the deck itself, we now have a pair of arrays, one for the player and one for the dealer. To initialize them, we drop the value -1 into each slot (in the initialization function). Then, we deal the hands with:
player[1]=${newdeck[1]} player[2]=${newdeck[3]} nextplayercard=3 # player starts with two cards dealer[1]=${newdeck[2]} dealer[2]=${newdeck[4]} nextdealercard=3 # dealer also has two cards nextcard=5 # we've dealt the first four cards already
You can see the tracking variables we need to use to remember how far down the deck we've moved. We don't want to give two players the same card!
With that loop in mind, here's the main player loop:
while [ $handvalue -lt 22 ] do echo -n "H)it or S)tand? " read answer if [ $answer = "stand" -o $answer = "s" ] ; then break fi player[$nextplayercard]=${newdeck[$nextcard]} showCard ${player[$nextplayercard]} echo "** You've been dealt: $cardname" handValue ${player[1]} ${player[2]} ${player[3]} ${player[4]} ${player[5]} nextcard=$(( $nextcard + 1 )) nextplayercard=$(( $nextplayercard + 1 )) done
That's the simplified version of this loop. The more sophisticated version can be found on the Linux Journal FTP site (ftp.linuxjournal.com/pub/lj/listings/issue145/8860.tgz). Notice that it's pretty straightforward. As long as the hand value is less than 22 points, the player can add cards or opt to stand. In the latter case, the break statement pulls you out of the while loop, ready to proceed with the program.
Because nextcard is the pointer into the deck that keeps track of how many cards have been dealt, it needs to be incremented each time a card is dealt, but as we're using nextplayercard to keep track of the individual player array, we also need to increment that each time through the loop too.
Let's look at one simple tweak before we wrap up, however. Instead of merely asking whether the player wants to hit or stand, we can recommend a move by calculating whether the hand value is less than 16:
if [ $handvalue -lt 16 ] ; then echo -n "H)it or S)tand? (recommended: hit) " else echo -n "H)it or S)tand? (recommended: stand) " fi
Generally, we'll have a quick demo, but notice that we do have some bugs in this script that need to be dealt with first, though:
$ blackjack.sh ** You've been dealt: 3 of Clubs, Queen of Clubs H)it or S)tand? (recommended: hit) h ** You've been dealt: 8 of Hearts H)it or S)tand? (recommended: stand) s You stand with a hand value of 21
Perfect. And here's another run:
$ blackjack.sh ** You've been dealt: 4 of Clubs, Jack of Hearts H)it or S)tand? (recommended: hit) h ** You've been dealt: 10 of Diamonds *** Busted! Your hand is worth 24 **
Ah, tough luck on that last one!
Rather than point out specific problems, let me note here that being dealt either of the following two sequences is quite a problem: A A or 2 2 2 2 3 4. Can you see why?
Next month, we'll look at solving these problems!

An unidentified 28-year-old Irishman has been charged over the assault of Australian politician John Elferink.
At the time of the alleged attack, Elferink, the Country Liberals' justice spokesman, was speaking to the media in Darwin about tougher laws on alcohol-fueled violence in Australia. The Irishman approached the politician and kicked him in the leg.
The politician, a former policeman, attempted to apprehend him and place the man under citizen's arrest.
Two other men joined the Irishman, coming to his aid from the nearby pub. They approached the politician and allegedly "wrestled" with him according to ABC news. One of these men has also been charged with assault.
When asked by the press if he regretted apprehending the man, Elferink said, "I got involved because I think it's part of my personal civic duty.
"I'm also six feet tall and fairly robust and probably better equipped than a lot of other people to get involved in these sorts of things and it's a judgment call.
"I could've continued to wrestle with this bloke yesterday but I chose to let him go."
The Irishmen have been released from jail on bail.
Here's video of the attack from Channel Nine:

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
29 Oct 2013 12:43 GMT | Politics, US & Canada, Latin America, France, Germany
US President Barack Obama says he has ordered a review of the way US spy agencies gather intelligence. It follows a string of embarrassing revelations which include bugging millions of phone calls.France, Germany and Spain are some of the countries now seeking explanations.
Obama's comments came during an interview with Fusion, a cable network joint venture between ABC and Univision on Monday.
He called for a review of the agency's operations, "to make sure that what they're able to do doesn't necessarily mean what they should be doing".
Obama said he is the "final user" of all intelligence gathered by the National Security Agency and other intelligence agencies in the US and that the White House gives the NSA "policy direction", but that "their capacities continue to develop and expand".
His statements echoed, head of US Senate's Intelligence Committee, Dianne Feinstein, a Democrat, who earlier on Monday called for a "total review of all intelligence programmes" after reports that American spies eavesdropped on German chancellor Angela Merkel.
Merkel intercepts
Feinstein said Obama was not informed either that Angela Merkel's communications were being collected since 2002.
"With respect to NSA collection of intelligence on leaders of US allies, including France, Spain, Mexico and Germany, let me state unequivocally: I am totally opposed," Feinstein said in a statement.
"Unless the United States is engaged in hostilities against a country or there is an emergency need for this type of surveillance, I do not believe the United States should be collecting phone calls or emails of friendly presidents and prime ministers," Feinstein said.
"The president should be required to approve any collection of this sort."
Her statement follows reports based on new leaks from former NSA systems analyst Edward Snowden indicating that the NSA listened to Merkel and 34 other leaders.
The Spanish El Mundo newspaper on Monday reported the US had monitored 60 million phone calls in that country during one month. The report comes days after similar stories of NSA spying in France and Germany.
Damaged relations
In response, German authorities on Monday cited last week's non-binding resolution by the European Parliament to suspend a post-9/11 agreement allowing the US access to bank transfer data to track suspicious transactions.
Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger, German justice minister, said on Monday she believed the US were using the information to gather economic intelligence.
"It really isn't enough to be outraged," she told a radio station. "This would be a signal that something can happen and make clear to the Americans that the (EU's) policy is changing."
Asked if the NSA spying had been used to boost economic interests, White House spokesman Jay Carney said: "We do not use our intelligence capabilities for that purpose. We use it for security purposes."
He added that the US may need "additional constraints" on its spying activities.

Four juveniles have been charged by Springfield Police after graffiti depicting racist phrases and logos were painted on several local buildings, signs and other property.
The workers at McDonald's call her Big Mac, and now, she has 10 little McNuggets to go along with her. The female Golden Retriever seen around parking lots of area restaurants and grocery stores is probably the best-known stray dog you'll ever see. People routinely feed her, including the McDonald's staff members, who toss her biscuits and other food when she's in the area. Now, she has been picked up by a caring local woman, and the dog has been discovered to have a litter of 10 puppies in need of a home.
The threat of inclement weather didn't dampen the cancer-fighting spirit of Washington County Middle School on May 14 as they held their annual mini Relay for Life. While the festivities started at the high school football field, things were quickly moved indoors into the middle school gym after a brief sprinkle of rain fell just after noon. In total, the students raised approximately $2,000 for the WCMS Relay for Life team.
The lack of a state budget has continued to have an impact on numerous groups across the state, and the Washington County School District is the latest to be affected.
If you've been out of school for a while, then you know that it's a dog-eat-dog world out there. It takes some adjustment to learn how to handle monthly bills and expenses. But some Washington County middle school students recently got a preview of what to expect once they enter the workforce by participating in a "reality store" at North Washington Elementary School on Friday.
A Davidson County, Tenn., jury Thursday declared Washington County native Vanessa Coleman not guilty in one death, but guilty of being a facilitator in another that resulted from a series of crimes involving a Knox County, Tenn., couple.
Coleman, a 2006 Washington County High School graduate, was arrested Jan. 31, 2007, and faced numerous charges in relation to the deaths of Channon Christian, 21, and Chris Newsom, 23, in Knoxville.
Washington Countians like their politics, and apparently, they liked them just they way they were before Tuesday's primary election. When the votes were totaled, no changes took place in the local political ranks.
In what was no doubt the most discussed race in the county for the primary election, Washington County Sheriff Tommy Bartley held off challengers Alan Corbett and Brad Langford by a total of 1,404 votes to Corbett's 900 and Langford's 466.
When St. Catharine College moved from a junior college to a four-year institution in 2004, President William D. Huston said the school would soon be recognized as a destination college, rather than a transitional one. That designation became very evident Saturday at the 78th commencement ceremony held in Lourdes Hall.
For the first time in St. Catharine history the number of bachelor's degrees granted were more than the associate degrees awarded. A total of 54 graduates received bachelor's degrees, while 50 were granted associate degrees.
Two Washington County properties are among nine in the state that are on the road to being placed on the National Register of Historic Places. Kalarama Farm and Maple Grove, also known as the Old Settles Place or Hardin House, had their applications approved during a meeting of the Kentucky Historic Preservation Review Board last week.
At Tuesday's Springfield City Council meeting, several council members brought up nuisance problems concerning barking animals and junk vehicles, and they discussed the problems with police chief Fred Armstrong.
