If a young man has spent countless hours bobbing in a pool during water polo matches, he's more likely to survive the butt-kicking training required to become a Navy SEAL.
Same goes if he rock climbs or mountain bikes. And believe it or not, if he plays chess, his odds of passing triple.
Those are some findings from a nearly $500,000 Gallup study commissioned by the Navy. The Coronado-based Naval Special Warfare Recruiting Directorate is trying to increase its ranks — a goal that has proved somewhat elusive. The elite service has not met its recruiting goals for enlisted SEALs in two of the past four years.
The fighters famous for their expertise on sea, air and land created a recruiting arm in late 2005 to market themselves for the first time. It was a culture change: Prior generations of SEALs came to them, not the other way around.
Thanks to the Gallup study conducted last fall, Navy leaders now know that their sweet spot rests in seven sports — and they're not the most glamorous, traditionally tough-guy pastimes such as football.
Water polo tops the list, with a man's odds nearly doubling if he played on a high school or college team. Triathlons, lacrosse, boxing, rugby, swimming and wrestling are the other six.
Alternative sports that scored favorably are skiing, snowboarding, mountain biking, climbing, rappelling and the martial arts.
SEAL recruiters are making a concerted pitch to players of those sports, both at the college and high school levels, with a focus on those in Southern California.
The recruiting directorate has forged a special relationship with University City High School in San Diego and Del Norte High School in 4S Ranch. Water polo players from Del Norte recently attended a SEAL fitness challenge, where they ran, swam and performed push-ups with oversight from combat-veteran SEALs.
The hope is to create a "dog whistle" effect with these teen boys. The whistle analogy, detailed in the Gallup report, describes the idea that if SEALs strategically send out their signal, the right candidates will hear it.
"What we're trying to accomplish is getting more wrestlers or 'fill-in-the-blank' sport. If we get those guys, they are tuned to sort of the right frequency and they'll get through at a higher rate than Joe Average," said Capt. Adam Curtis, director of SEAL recruiting.

Today's Daily News editorial expresses hope that the BRT's most recent stand will prove to be its last, and gives props to the mayor for proposing to dissolve a second dysfunctional independent agency. It also makes this important psychological/political point:
For too long, we've grown to accept the outrageous dysfunction of some parts of city government as somehow amusing or entertaining.
That cynicism is understandable but dangerous because it gives implicit approval for bad behavior.
As City Council considers increasing real estate taxes to help balance the city budget, rowhouse owners may fret about a hike. But Ted and Barbara Arsonson won't have to any lose sleep because, regardless of the increase, it won't cost them one cent. Not next year, the year after, or the year after that.
Ted and Barbara just bought a Center City condo for a tad over $12 million, reportedly the highest amount ever paid for a city residence. And under the city tax-abatement program, they'll owe no real estate taxes for 10 years.
And they aren't the only ones who won't have to worry about that tax hike. According to the Board of Revision of Taxes, there are more than 13,500 properties that qualify for an abatement.
The Nutter administration is trying to revamp nonunion city employees' pensions by increasing worker contributions and introducing a 401(k) plan.
The state matched its census mail-in participation rate of a decade ago.
A Pittsburgh city councilman is accusing the city of chronically shortchanging poor neighborhoods by underfunding government services to them.
Via Clout we see that the Committee of 70 has posted a helpful Q&A that summarizes where the city budget process is, how we got here, and where we're going. Allow us to recommend our cheat sheets (over to your right) for more detailed information about any specific departments you might be interested in.
Follow us on Twitter and review city services on our sister site, City Howl.
Leave aside, for a moment, the fact that Joe Snyder believes he received a ticket in error. The part of Anthony Campisi's Help Desk we can't get over is that Snyder has to wait seven months to plead his case before a hearing master. Seven months!
We're curious to hear your experiences -- good, bad, or ridiculously drawn-out -- fighting tickets in this town. Tell us about them in comments, or over at City Howl.
Mayor Nutter is taking another crack at streamlining city government. The administration is proposing legislation that would abolish the Clerk of Quarter Sessions, an elected row office that handles bookkeeping for the court system. Last year, the Pennsylvania Intergovernmental Cooperation Authority estimated taxpayers could save up to $13 million if the row offices were abolished.
Yesterday, administration officials appeared before City Council to push for consolidation.
The idea that we somehow need to cling to a historical office is no longer in the best interests of the city," said Deputy Mayor Everett Gillison, Nutter's top aide for public-safety issues.
City Howl is a Web site that allows citizens to post their raves or rants about city services. Every Wednesday, we publish highlights of our investigations into some of these problems.
The problem: Joe Snyder got a ticket for not shoveling his sidewalk after the second big blizzard in February.
This was frustrating for Snyder because, he said, he did shovel his walk.
The Nutter administration is drawing up legislation to eliminate the Clerk of Quarter Sessions.
Mayor Nutter's budget was pummeled at a public hearing in Mount Airy last night.
A Philadelphia magazine columnist says that Nutter's budget numbers don't add up because of the city's looming pension problems.

Officials: 31 suspended in Army day care scandal
WASHINGTON At least 31 people were suspended from two Army day care centers at Fort Myer, Va., last week after officials scrutinized their backgrounds and found criminal convictions including fourth-degree sexual assault and drug use, a defense official said Wednesday.
An earlier statement that the 31 people had been fired was erroneous, the official said. Suspension allows for the possibility of reinstatement or dismissal.
The escalating scandal surrounding the Fort Myer Child Development Center has triggered a review of hiring procedures, angered defense leaders, and prompted a late-night telephone call Tuesday from President Barack Obama to the Army secretary. In the call, Obama expressed concern and urged a speedy and thorough investigation.
Details of the scandal emerged this week, nearly three months after two workers were arrested on charges of assaulting children at the Fort Myer center. The slow pace of public revelations enraged Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, who on Tuesday ordered a worldwide review of hiring practices at all military child care centers, schools, youth centers and other facilities that involve children.
According to a defense official, 10 of the 31 suspended workers were involved in minor criminal offenses, 13 were involved in assaults, six were involved in drug use and two were involved in fourth-degree sexual assault. The official noted that neither person with sex assault charges ever ended up on a national registry of sex offenders. In some cases, sexual assaults can involve people over the age of 18 who are having consensual relationships with someone under the age of 18.
After the arrests, the youth services coordinator and deputy at the day care center were reassigned. The center was shut down last Thursday.
The defense official also said the approximately 100 remaining child care employees at Fort Myer are caring for the children at the Cody Child Development Center, also on the base.
Coming on the heels of last week's massacre of 6- and 7-year-olds in a shooting at their elementary school in Newtown, Conn., the day care scandal caught Obama's attention and prompted a 10 p.m. telephone call Tuesday to Army Secretary John McHugh.
A White House official said the president relayed his concern about reports of abuse at the day care center and made clear that there must be a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to protecting the children of service members.
The official said Obama urged McHugh to conduct the investigation into its hiring practices quickly and thoroughly. Officials spoke about the investigation and the phone call on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss them publicly.
Obama has been outspoken in his demands for a quick government reaction to the Newtown shooting that left 20 children and six adults dead.
The Army had no immediate comment on the president's call.
Pentagon leaders were angry that it took the Army months to disclose the problems to top officials and the public.
Panetta ordered the military-wide review Tuesday shortly after the Army disclosed problems with security background checks of workers at Fort Myer. Pentagon press secretary George Little said department leaders were surprised to hear of the problems and that "clearly this information did not get reported up the chain of command as quickly as we think it should have."

So have me in some clothes:
|(Jacket - Newlook, Skirt - homemade, Shoes - Clarks)
I am doing my best superhero pose here.
I'm starting off with something a bit girlier than I usually go for, but I like it. The organs t-shirt I made last year for Halloween, and I decided to wear it with the pink skirt once I'd made it (the skirt) after exams ended last school year. It's a bit chilly for it now though so I've put on a jumper and leggings since taking these photos. And you can't really tell but seeing as this like meant to be a proper fashion blog an' all I put on some gold eyeshadow. My eyes now tickle a bit.
The skirt is a circle skirt, made from two pieces of fabric (main skirt + waistband with some elastic in) and I tie-dyed it, tying from waist to hem a few times then dying it 'flamingo pink'.
When buying the dye I remember it was on the top shelf and had a slightly stressful and embarrassing five minutes trying to reach it. I resorted to using an umbrella.
|(Shirt - can't remember but I sewed on all the organs, so it was just a plain ol' white T when I bought it.)
|(Necklace - Marina & the Diamonds merch, Badge - Frisky and Mannish merch, Star badge - homemade)
I think if I were a proper fashion blogger I would have this photo somewhere:
|Bye guys!
Hopefully I'll come up with something more interesting for the next one.

Tourette's Syndrome and ADHD
Is the Medication or Something else?
Hi, I'm 19 and a college student, and I've been diagnosed inattentive ADDH since I was a child. I've been on my current medication for about 4-5 years now and never really had any issues with it until now. I've been noticing recently that every time I take my medication, I at some point during the day I get filled with anxiety, something I never noticed before. And usually its when nothing is going on, like there is something itching at me to do something, anything, to get rid of the anxiety. And since I've been on break for school, I generally don't take my medication on a regular basis, so there is usually a few days in between doses. I haven't brought this up with my doctor. I've been talking Is this normal? Has anyone else had this issue?

Another Video From Israel
This one of sober, reasonable people
A week after revealing the extremely stupid things drunk American Jewish kids in Israel are willing to say in front of a rolling video camera, intrepid reporter Max Blumenthal ventured out to an anti-settlement rally in Tel Aviv sponsored by the left-wing political party Hadash. Unsurprisingly, the sober Israelis he interviews say quite reasonable things. "I think Obama has—I felt it was like the Gettysburg Address, really," one man said of last week's Presidential address in Cairo.
Meanwhile, over on 50 Cent's web site, This Is 50, commenters continued to prove how dumb people can be. Tablet contributing editor Jeff Goldberg helpfully culled through responses to Blumenthal's first video he found there, finding plenty of f-bombs. But one person noted, "Man, that whole nation needs therapy and counseling." And another, a rapper posting under the name Save our Souls, posted some lyrics:
Fuck an AIPAC, Israel got the states jacked/
probably label me a terrorist because I say that/
September 11th?, oh yea, you know they staged that/
with the CIA, same place Bin Laden's payed at.

A Canadian study warns clinicians and patients to be careful about mixing blood thinners with antibiotics because the combination could increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding. In particular, caution should be given when combining the blood thinner warfarin and the antibiotic cotrimoxazole, which is a combination of sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim. "Both are very common medications, and the risk that they would be combined is very real," a researcher said.

COLUMBIA CITY — Residents of Whitley County, particularly Columbia City, will see a rise in some of their taxes in the coming year.
Whitley County's Council approved the reestablishment of the county's Cumulative Capital Fund for the coming year. The near-doubling of the rate will amount to approximately $30 per $100,000 of assessed value. The council enacted this increase to pay for bridge work around the county.

Sales of spirits rose 3.5% last year as consumers looked toward cocktails and wine as an affordable indulgence and eateries got more creative with flavors and low-cal drinks, according to Technomic. Skinny cocktails, new twists on vodka drinks and drinks made with high-quality spirits can help restaurants boost bar tabs and set themselves apart, says Technomic's Donna Hood Crecca.

A hot meal will be served at 7 p.m. Showers will then become available along with donated clothing for those who need it. Nonprofit groups offering drug and alcohol addiction counseling, health and mental health services will arrive later in the evening.
I am mesmerized by a young couple who have entered the armory with their infant child. I don't know whether to be angry or whether to offer them a couple of bucks.
Once they are registered and their needs assessed, Julia Bidwell says, they will be transported to a nearby church that has agreed to take in families with young children. There may be as many as 30 people sleeping at the church tonight, she said.
"It is not faceless people when you come to the armory," Patti Long says as we watch people take their places. "You see the problem we are trying to address up close. You see it is not a faceless problem."
Two staff volunteers, the security guards and two national guardsmen will keep watch over them on this night. The lights will turn on at 6 a.m. There will be coffee and a breakfast snack available. The homeless will then be ushered back onto the buses.
It is almost dinner time when I start to leave. Those assembled sit or lie on their pads. They say nothing.
"We need to provide an answer," Patti Long says as I bid her farewell. "That answer is housing."
As I pull out of the armory parking lot, a man lies, his head resting on his hands like a baby, near the chain link fence in the middle of the sidewalk.
The answer, if there is one, will not arrive soon enough.

threatened miscarriage **update in original post*
There was a little more blood and i was advised to wear a pad to monitor the bleeding. They did both types of us's, both are measuring 5w1d, there is a sac and yolk sac so 1 of two things... Either i ovulated later putting me at 5 weeks, or I'm 7 weeks like i thought and baby stopped growing at 5 weeks...
I have my second draw on Sunday and my follow up tuesday but going to try to go Monday since i have off Monday. Hospital told me if i goo through a pad an hour for 2- hours i need to go to the ER
I've been diagnosed with threatened miscarriage with 2 pregnancies and both turned out fine. Any time you have bleeding during early pregnancy they will tell you it's a "threatened miscarriage" but it CAN be perfectly normal to have some bleeding. It doesn't always mean something is wrong.
I had one @ 7 weeks...just delivered our sweety baby girl in January!
I went to the ER at 12 weeks 6 days with bleeding and losing clots. Called it a Threatend Miscarriage. I didn't have any cramping etc. Ultrasound showed baby was just fine heart beat everything. I'm 23 weeks today with my 2nd baby Boy. (This never happened with my First Son)

Thia includes all those boats which sit in salt water year round and have received absolutely zero maintenance for the past several decades. I really don't think that this is something to worry about. I know I don't. If you want the peace of mind that a fix will give you, look at Catalina Direct's lag screw kit. They have done the calculating and part buying for you. But it is your boat, after all, so do what you want.
Yeah, I know it comes up regularly. But all this talk of this crevice corrosion and that we should be dropping our keels get me severely anxious about this. I figure that adding the additional bolts an inspection boring will give me peace of mind. As far as lag bolts go I figure if I have to drill down for the lag bolts I might as well drill out a window and get far more holding power.

EOF - Carrier Grade Linux
In January 2002, the Open Source Development Labs (OSDL, www.osdl.org) established the Carrier Grade Linux (CGL) Working Group. This initiative was intended to enhance the Linux kernel to achieve a highly available, secure, scalable and easily maintained open-source platform suitable for carrier grade systems.
Many companies joined the CGL initiative, and today the CGL is composed of member companies that work together contributing to the CGL requirement definition, helping current and starting new open-source projects to meet these requirements. Many CGL member companies already have contributed pieces of various technologies to open source to make the Linux kernel a more viable option for telecom platforms. CGL activities are providing momentum for Linux in the telecom space, allowing it to be an alternative to proprietary operating systems.
Gateways, signaling and management servers are the three main areas into which the CGL Working Group expects the majority of applications implemented on CGL platforms to fall. In addition to specifying the requirements, the Working Group also identifies existing open-source projects supporting the road map, implementing required components and interfaces of the platform. When an open-source project does not exist to support a CGL requirement, the Working Group launches or supports new projects to implement the missing functionality.
The scope of the CGL Working Group covers two main areas, carrier grade enhancements to the kernel and development tools. Kernel enhancements cover availability, security, scalability and reliability, as well as changes to interfaces for hardware, user-level code, application code and development and debugging tools. Software development tools covered by CGL include debuggers and analyzers.
The CGL Requirements Definition Version 2.0, released October 9, 2003, divides the requirements into the following main categories:
Clustering supports the use of multiple carrier server systems providing higher levels of service availability through redundant resources and recovery capabilities.
The security requirements aim at maintaining a certain level of security while not endangering the goals of high availability, performance and scalability. These requirements support the use of additional security mechanisms to protect the systems and provide special mechanisms at kernel level to be used by telecom applications.
Standards: CGL specifies standards to which compliance is required, including the Linux Standard Base, POSIX standards and a number of Internet RFCs.
CGL specifies platform requirements that support interactions with the hardware making up carrier grade systems. Examples of platform requirements include: hot insert, hot remove, remote boot support, boot cycle detection and support for diskless systems.
Availability requirements support heightened availability of carrier grade systems, such as improving the robustness of software components or by supporting recovery from failure of hardware or software. Examples include support for watchdog timer interface, disk and volume management, Ethernet link aggregation and link failover and application heartbeat monitor.
Serviceability requirements support the availability of applications and the operating system. Examples include support for producing and storing kernel dumps, dynamic debug of the kernel and running applications, platform signal handler and remote access to event logs.
Performance requirements support performance levels necessary for the environments a carrier grade system would encounter. Examples include support for application (pre) loading, soft real-time performance, kernel preemption and RAID 0 support.
Scalability requirements support vertical and horizontal scaling of carrier server systems, such as the addition of hardware resources to result in acceptable increases in capacity and throughput.
Tools requirements provide capabilities to facilitate diagnosis, such as the support for a kernel debugger, kernel dump analysis and the capability to debug multi-threaded programs.
Many individuals within the CGL initiative are active participants in the main-line Linux development community. In addition, the implementations providing the carrier grade enhancements to the kernel are open-source projects and are planned for integration with the Linux kernel. All of the enhancements are available from their respective project Web sites; please refer to the OSDL Web site for links.
As of January 2004, the CGL Working Group is developing CGL version 3.0. The group expects to release the final official version by October 2004. The participation in OSDL CGL is open to everyone. For more information, please visit the OSDL Web site.

Netflix Signs Streaming Deal with DreamWorks Animation, Amazon Signs Fox
Posted on Monday, September 26th, 2011 by Angie Han
After taking a public pounding thanks to its recently announced updates to pricing and subscription models, Netflix finally has a bit of good news to announce. The company has just signed a huge deal with DreamWorks which will bring the studio's films and TV specials to Netflix's streaming service.
The accord comes not a moment too soon, as competitor Amazon makes its own big reveal today — a pact to bring 2,000 20th Century Fox films and television episodes to its own instant video service. The clear winner in all of this, however, is streaming, which continues to grow in importance within the home video market. Read more after the jump.

Walmart doesn't brand itself as a company where employers facilitate healthy workplace conditions.
The corporate culture of this big box store doesn't include gyms and sauna showers nestled in the back rooms, or smoothie bars or even walking tracks outdoors. But if you live in Richmond County, you will find a dedicated team of 12 Walmart employees who know the company supports their efforts at being healthy.
In March, Walmart of Rockingham signed up for RichmondFit, a workplace wellness competition launched by the First in Health Richmond County 2020 Task Force.
RichmondFit's goal is to encourage people to get up and move, be more physical and track their steps and activities through April 30. The program offers a team-oriented challenge in which groups from local businesses are judged solely on the average number of steps per team member.
The concept is simple. Each team The top three teams in both the large business and small business categories will be recognized, as well as the top three individuals.
Rockingham Walmart community coordinator Jean Fletcher is proud of the number of steps team members have logged.Through late Monday morning, Walmart is sixth among the top 10 teams with 218,507 steps. Fletcher, who is also on the team, hopes its accomplishments will help break through some of the social stereotypes people have about retail workers' "poor health habits."
"People don't understand how much we move during a regular workday," she said. "Doing your daily routine, you have to stay on top of everything. We have so much stuff to do that we run out of time. But I do a lot of walking to get steps in and I feel better. It's just good all around for everyone involved."
As of Monday morning, the combined efforts of all participants in RichmondFit have yielded more than 41.3 million steps, or 18,390 miles.
The four-person team from Unimin Corporation in Marston remains in first place with an average of 652,983 steps per teammate. Richmond County government (305,187) remains in second place and Discovery Place KIDS jumped up to third place (246,227) from fifth place.
Rounding out the top 10 teams: The Richmond County Daily Journal (243,169), City of Hamlet (235,924),Walmart, Fidelity Bank (182,428), Rockingham Housing Authority (157,672), FirstHealth Richmond Memorial Hospital (128,129) and Richmond County Health Services (104,402).
The most popular activities recorded include quick pace and leisurely walking, housework, and playing with kids.
The program began Mach 3 and runs through April 30. Due to high demand, coordinators have re-opened registration to individuals or teams wanting to participate.

Facing the Giants, which despite its flaws is ultimately a sweet, sincere movie about Christian faith.
Like too many films of faith, it mixes its message, proclaiming that a life given over to God is a reward unto itself, and then handing over victories to its faithful like some overtime bonus.
For those who felt insufficiently uplifted by "Invincible" and "Gridiron Gang," here comes Facing the Giants, an aggressively inspirational drama about a born-again high school football coach.

Editor Gabriel Bauret has chosen more than 60 of Brodovitch's most inventive layouts for Harper's Bazaar between 1934 and 1958, when he used its pages as a showcase for his sleek, sophisticated take on European avant-garde design and for a stable of photographers that included Richard Avedon, Bill Brandt, Man Ray, Erwin Blumenfeld, Martin Munkacsi, and Lillian Bassman. Brodovitch's moment at Bazaar is so legendary it still reverberates; he didn't just create one of the great American magazines, he conjured a style that looks quintessentially modern more than half a century later.
Also on the shopping list: The Man in the Crowd (Fraenkel/ D.A.P., $50), a collection of Garry Winogrand's brilliant, unsettling street photographs that coincides with a show at San Francisco's Fraenkel Gallery. Take it along to the Philip-Lorca diCorcia show to compare streetscape visions, and don't miss Fran Lebowitz's brief intro. "At least part of all art should be a question," she says. "Everything now is all answer." The January W includes 16 pages by British photographer Martin Parr on the New York art world. No revelations here (unless you expected Mary Boone to be an angel of mercy), but plenty of sly swipes. Finally, the pop-up, foldout collector's item of 1998 is back in print. Damien Hirst's mammoth I Want To Spend the Rest of My Life Everywhere, With Everyone, One to One, Always, Forever, Now (Monacelli, $125), which disappeared quickly last year, is back to alarm and amuse.

What to do with "stallers"
So my daughter played up in a girls 14s tournament, made it to the finals against someone of similar ability. Whenever my daughter won a point or was serving and the score was ad in this person would turn her back and go hang out at the back fence for 8-10 seconds. My daughter did it back once and when the opponent turned around to see my daughter copying her she turned back to face the fence :twisted:
Of course there was no official present, nor was there at the last tournament when this person walked off the court in the middle of a match.
According to Friend of the Court " the receiver should play at the reasonable pace of the server.".
You know, the rules already tell you how to handle this.
[QUOTE=jonnythan;7032343]You know, the rules already tell you how to handle this.[/QUOTE
Uh, where do the rules tell you how to handle it when there are no officials present? I rarely post here any more because of the snarkiness of responses
There is no set rule as to define "reasonable pace of the server"; however, the guideline we use is 12-15 seconds is considered reasonable. Of course, it varies. If a player is serving consistently at 8-10 seconds, and the receiver is consistently ready, and not complaining, then that could be considered reasonable pace for that match. If a player is consistently serving at 18 seconds or so, then, I would say reasonable pace for that match would be 15 second or so. And the player wouldn't then be able to quick serve and expect that to be reasonable.
8-10 seconds isn't really stalling at all. If this was a USTA sanctioned tournament, there would have been at least one official. If your daughter was bothered by timing, she is free to leave the court to seek out an official.
My daughter faced similar situation a few times. It annoyed her but she usually just waited. Sometimes the receiver stalled to interrupt server's rhythm and she double faulted. Would you recommend getting an official if the person keeps doing that?
Yes she should get an official, but like I said, reasonable pace isn't always the same. And if she's back there for 10 seconds and ready to receive at 15, that is usually a "reasonable pace". Now, if she's there for 20 seconds and the server is ready to serve for a while, that's different.
Duplicative post.
"Whenever my daughter won a point or was serving and the score was ad in this person would turn her back and go hang out at the back fence for 8-10 seconds."
If your daughter is serving... It's at her pace. I've seen girls just go ahead and serve when the receiver is stalling. Valid tactic. It worked. The statler was ready next time.
*staller was ready next time.
I know, it's a terrible feeling waiting for the person to return your serve when you're already ready.
Give them a stare or something when your ready..
Also even though it was a USTA tournament there were no officials and the TD didn't know the rules (as evidenced by his not allowing 2 other competitors to be coached prior to a third set tie breaker). I heard him tell his friend " the kids should just be allowed to play and told what they did wrong after the match".
Thanks for everyone's responses.
What section was this? I have a very hard time believing there was not a tournament referee available.
Also when talking about the third set tiebreak, do you mean a third set tiebreak, or a 10 point match tiebreak in lieu of a third set?

Help with SQL report formatting
I have created a report based on an SQL query and it is working as expected. My report has multiple columns (one of them being "site") and by default I can use the pulldown for "group by" to group them by site. This is obnoxious because I then have to refresh the report to get the view I want. My question is:
Is there a way to get the report to automatically group by site every time I open it?
Comments 2 Comments • Jump to latest comment
As I see it you have two main options.
1. Order By Site
2. Count
Order by will get you your sites listed together
Count will get you the ability to Group By and return a count based on the Site but you will need to build drill down reports to support it. Your standard report would be easier to manage.
I do not know of a way to have a report open automatically with the 'Group By' option.
If you are confident with your SQL many people just run their reports in SQLSMS and thus you would create the exact display with the query. The built in reporting tool struggles to cater to new SQL users and advanced SQL users at the same time. I think it was around this point you describe that I made that decision to write mostly on the SQL box, but your own feelings may differ.

DEFINITION of 'SEC Form DEFS14C'
A now-obsolete filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that had to be filed by a registrant intending to hold a special meeting. SEC Form DEFS14C applies to security holders who were entitled to vote on issues for which the company was not soliciting proxies. It provided security holders with information required by Schedule 14A as well as information about whether certain persons, such as directors, officers and associates, had an interest in corporate matters that differed from the interest of general shareholders, or intended to oppose action to be taken by the corporation at a shareholders' meeting. The form was required to state that proxies were not being solicited.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'SEC Form DEFS14C'
Form DEFS14C, "Definitive information statement for special meeting", was required under Section 14(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This form was filed with the SEC when a registrant intended to hold a special meeting and helped the SEC protect shareholders' rights by ensuring that they received key information, clearly presented.

I'm fairly impressed with the quality and effectiveness of Burt's Bees products overall, but the Beeswax Lip Balm isn't exactly one of my favorite products from this line. For starters this product could use waaaay more moisturizers, however it doesn't dry my lips out, and I feel like it acts as a barrier between my lips and any further damage. I do love the scent though, very minty and tingling, which I find suprisingly soothing. Great cheap buy, but for me didn't do much.

This is fairly light and felt moisturising and refreshing while wearing. The mint is a tad overpowering and he tingle it gives your lips means it is irritating them. I stopped using because it doesn't contain a sunscreen. I think there are better, cheaper products out there.

This is the only lipbalm I buy over and over again. I use it in the tube, its just easier with nails and I feel like its more hygenic. Its very moisturizing; when I put it on I don't need to reapply for a while. And I love the mint flavor.

I love the mintiness. I hate everything else. I have both the tube and the tin. This stuff dries my lips out terribly. There's got to be a better moisturizing minty balm available. Glad it was cheap.

This is my HG lip balm. I'm a lip balm/gloss efficianado, and this is the best of the hundreds of balms I've tried. It's a little thick, but I always come back to my Burt's Bees. Oh, I use the tube by the way. It's better than the tin IMO.

I love the minty feel and the smell of this balm, but it just doesn't do a very good job of keeping my lips soft. This feels great when I put it on, but I keep having to reapply it every hour or two because my lips start flaking/drying out more than before. I like the way it feels anyway so that's not too big of a problem, but for softening purposes I'd go with something else.
Another thing -- it gets kind of annoying trying to get this out of the tin if you don't warm it up first, even if it's just been in your bag in an air-conditioned room.

I bought the lip balm in the tin. The formula is light and my lips would crack if I used this in winter. But that's not the worst thing about this product. As my finger touched the bottom of the tin after about a month and a half's use, I saw something that was reddish brown. I didn't worry too much about it, but as my finger picked up more of the balm I could see that there was more of that reddish brown thing. There's no doubt in my mind that it was rust. I emailed Burt's Bees about it, and the person from BB told me that what happened wasn't normal. However, I won't be purchasing this lip balm in the tin again. Not even the stick form.

from French Montana (Ft. Drake, Lil Wayne & Rick Ross) – Pop That Lyrics on Genius
Reference to oral sex, as carrots are also quite phallic; since the next line reveals this couplet to be about sex, "feeding" women "carrots" can be read as the conventional oral foreplay foreshadowing the next line's intercourse.
Also a play on the word carrot/carat. Meaning the diamonds that he gives to his women and the rabbit reference in the next line
This is also a reference to the fact that rabbits mainly eat carrots, as rabbits are mentioned in the following line.
