David Lawrence Center Opens New Expanded Adult Detoxification Unit
The David Lawrence Center is pleased to announce the grand opening of the newly expanded, 15-bed Tim Hermann Adult Detoxification Unit located on the Center's eight acre main campus off Golden Gate Parkway. Clients and staff moved into the new facility over the weekend and are already enjoying the beautiful, new treatment environment which was thoughtfully designed to be more conducive to supporting mental wellness and life-changing recovery opportunities for adults suffering from the acute symptoms of substance withdrawal.
The new state-of-the-art, therapeutic treatment space encompasses 4,600 square feet with five beautifully appointed bedrooms. The expansion accommodated a larger common area and dining room, additional treatment space, an outdoor lanai, new furniture and a serene, client-focused interior design. Facility improvements include better efficiency, workflow, security, technology, auxiliary power and safety enhancements.
David Lawrence Center detoxification services help individuals safely and effectively withdraw from substances in a comfortable, serene and supportive environment. A dedicated, multidisciplinary team of psychiatrists, including addictionologists, leads the treatment team utilizing innovative healthcare practices and breakthrough medications. Clients are admitted on a voluntary basis and may require anywhere from four to eight days depending on their substance dependency and medical needs.
Services available to clients admitted to the detox unit include comprehensive clinical assessments, co-occurring enhanced treatment and discharge planning, vital signs and medical monitoring, evidence-based medication management and detox protocols, routine physician and nursing visits, nutrition education services, educational and wellness groups, daily 12 step groups, pet therapy, yoga, recreation, suboxone assisted opiate detox and individual and family counseling services.
Mary Ann Guerra, Director of Inpatient and Nursing Services, states, "Expanding the unit was critical to meet the growing demand for chemical dependency services in Southwest Florida today and into the future. Although withdrawal from alcohol remains a primary reason for admission to the David Lawrence Center Detoxification Unit, admission for opiates and/or a combination of opiate/benzodiazepine and alcohol/opiates dependence are close second and third reasons for admission, and are expected to surpass alcohol only admissions, based on recent trends, in the near future. Complex admissions for withdrawal from multiple substances and individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders are a common and more frequent occurrence. Our facility and clinical environment needed to be enhanced to treat these cases in the most effective, safe, compassionate, comfortable environment that promotes healing, wellness and life-changing recovery."
This is the third and final phase of the expansion of the Acute Care Building. Acute Care houses the Children's Crisis Stabilization Unit, Adult Crisis Stabilization Unit, Emergency Services Assessment Center, Collier County Baker Act Receiving Facility and the Adult Detoxification Unit which all share a common waiting room. Construction on the new Detox Unit began in November after the new Crisis Stabilization Unit opened. The Detox Unit now resides in a completely renovated space in the Acute Care building.
David Lawrence Center is the Southwest Florida-based, not-for-profit leading provider of behavioral health solutions dedicated to inspiring and creating life-changing wellness for every individual. The Center provides innovative, comprehensive inpatient, outpatient, residential and community based prevention and treatment services for the one in four local children and adults who experience mental health, emotional, psychological and substance abuse challenges. David Lawrence Center has eight locations in Collier County and touches the lives of more than 30,000 people each year.

Bodywork Techniques:
Swedish Reflexology
Swedish Reflexology is the modality that comes to mind when most people think about bodywork. As the best-known type of bodywork performed today, one of the primary goals of the Swedish bodywork technique is to relax the entire body. This is accomplished by rubbing the muscles with long gliding strokes in the direction of blood returning to the heart. But Swedish bodywork goes beyond relaxation. Swedish bodywork is exceptionally beneficial for increasing the level of oxygen in the blood, decreasing muscle toxins, improving circulation and flexibility while easing tension.
Hot Stone Reflexology
Hot stone Reflexology melts away tension, eases muscle stiffness and increases circulation and metabolism. Each 1 ½ -hour hot stone body-work session promotes deeper muscle relaxation through the placement of smooth, water-heated stones at key points on the body. Our professional bodywork therapists also incorporate a customized bodywork , with the use of hot stones which offers enhanced benefits.
The premise behind hot stone bodywork is that the direct heat of the stones relaxes muscles, allowing the therapist access to their deeper muscle layers. Combining hot stone protocols with a full body-work provides a very healing and effective experience. The hot stones also expand blood vessels, which encourages blood flow throughout the body. The hot stones have a sedative effect that can relieve chronic pain, reduce stress and promote deep relaxation.
Trigger Point Reflexology
A trigger point Reflexology is a tight area within muscle tissue that causes pain in other parts of the body. A trigger point in the back, for example, may reduce referral pain in the neck. The neck, now acting as a satellite trigger point, may then cause pain in the head. The pain may be sharp and intense or a dull ache.
Trigger point bodywork is specifically designed to alleviate the source of the pain through cycles of isolated pressure and release. In this type of bodywork for trigger point therapy, the recipient actively participates through deep breathing as well as identifying the exact location and intensity of the discomfort.
The results and benefits of trigger point bodywork are releasing constricted areas in the muscles thus alleviating pain. You can experience a significant decrease in pain after just one treatment. Receiving bodywork with trigger point therapy on a regular basis can help naturally manage pain and stress from chronic injuries.
Sports Reflexology
Sports Reflexology is geared toward athletes of every kind, from world-class professionals to weekend joggers. The particulars of the sports bodywork technique are specific to the athlete's sport of choice. Focusing on areas of the body that are overused and stressed from repetitive and often aggressive movements.
Aspects of sports bodywork are gaining popularity as useful components in a balanced training regimen. Sports bodywork can be used as a means to enhance pre-event preparation and reduce recovery time for maximum performance during training or after an event. Athletes have discovered that specially designed sports massage promotes flexibility, reduces fatigue, improves endurance, helps prevent injuries and prepares their body and mind for optimal performance.
One of the key benefits of Sports bodywork compared to other modalities is its ability to target muscle-tendon junctions. A 2010 study in the journal of Strength and Conditioning Research found that even a 30-second massage improved hip-flexor range of motion. Another study conducted by Margaret Jones, Ph.D. of the American College of Sports Medicine, demonstrated a notable trend toward decreased muscle soreness in the athletes who received bodywork either before or after exercise.
Cranial Sacral Reflexology
Cranial sacral Reflexology (also known as craniosacral Reflexology) is a gentle, noninvasive form of bodywork that addresses the bones of the head, spinal column and sacrum. The goal is to release compression in those areas which alleviates stress and pain.
Cranial sacral seeks to restore the natural position of the bones and can decrease stress from chronic injuries as well as provide relief from migraine headaches, neck and back pain, temporomandibular joint disorder (the inflammation of the joint that connects the lower jaw to the skull) and more.

Manchester United posted a record third-quarter turnover of £91.7million in figures released to the New York Stock Exchange on Thursday.
United also outlined an increase of 52.2 per cent in sponsorship revenue and have adjusted expectations of overall annual income to £360million.
Red Devils executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward said: "Each of our three primary sectors - commercial, broadcasting and matchday - delivered strong top-line gains and helped us achieve a record third quarter for both revenue and adjusted EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization)."
United's powerful commercial arm made a massive contribution to the results.
A rise of 31.9 per cent on the corresponding three months last year means overall commercial income has gone up by 27.9 per cent to £114.5million over the full nine-month period.
The broadcast and matchday sectors show a 21.7 per cent and 34 per cent increase on the corresponding three months respectively.
Gross debt stands at £367.6million, which while still a vast sum, represents a decrease of 15.9 per cent since June 30 last year.
However, total operating expenses for the third quarter increased 18.6 per cent year-on-year to £79million.
Wages have also risen 25.1 per cent to £44.9million due to the impact of new signings - including Robin van Persie and Shinji Kagawa - renegotiated contracts and the growth of United's commercial team, which also has a base in Hong Kong.
Manchester United's executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward is not anticipating "a major retooling" of Sir Alex Ferguson's squad this summer.
Woodward was speaking on a conference call to outline United's third quarter results, and with Ferguson admitting he was already giving his squad rebuilding idea some thought, it has been anticipated further big name signings would be made.
However, after winning the Premier League title this term with four games to spare, Woodward is not sure that is strictly necessary.
"I wouldn't expect there to be a major retooling of the squad," said Woodward.
"There is incredible depth. We could put two first teams out with 11 internationals in each.
"It has been a phenomenal season. We are a long way ahead in the Premier League and whilst I wouldn't describe the way we got knocked out of the Champions League as luck things could have gone differently in that game.
"We have a young squad and each of those are a year older. We are very comfortable with make up of team and squad."
Nevertheless, Ferguson will continue to be linked with a series of star players, most recently Robert Lewandowski and Ramadel Falcao, whilst newly crowned FWA Player of the Year Gareth Bale is another United admire.

We eat cows, why not horses?
All well and good, with one major part of the story left out. If there were 10,000 people there, and I will grant the Oregonian folks that, then only about 1 in a 100 knew what this was about. If you really want to make a difference in the banking industry, you will have to sweep everyone out of Congress and the White House who have any connection with Big Money. These Big Money guys, and this isn't anecdotal, these guys buy the folks in government and until we, the People, put a stop to this nonsense, it will continue.
It doesn't matter what the circumstances are propelling the foreclosure of your house. You entered into a contract, and some crazy error in the paperwork doesn't mean you don't owe your mortgage. Those of us who bought homes within our means, and continue to pay our mortgages, and didn't refi to buy junk, should not be on the hook for your mortgage.
And that is what will happen if Wells Fargo renegotiates your loan, everyone else with Wells Fargo will make up the difference. Rest assured that the banks won't just simply eat that **** sandwich.
About as successful as their soccer club.
The American Bulldog descends from the English dog of the same name. The GSD was bred to give a warning to the estate security, which was the Bulldog, when there was an intruder onto the grounds. The Bulldog then led the attack and was trained to maim or kill the intruder.
The Bulldog can be just as effective as a Pit Bull.
I have a GSD, and it's gentle. But I still sequester it away from children, and any adult that is remotely afraid of dogs.
The lesson to be learned in this tragedy, is that small children should be kept away from all dogs, at least until they are able to defend themselves.
The parents/grandparents are to blame for this, and should be arrested, charged and convicted of child abuse, if not involuntary manslaughter. These are the individuals who didn't protect the 11 month old child.
USDOJ? That's an oxymoron if there ever was one, with emphasis on the 'moron.'
If you have forgotten, the plane that brought the DOJ was carrying about 1000 gallons of government grade whitewash.
I love the folks who tout the gentleness of the Pit Bull, and then the dog shreds their own kid.
The breed is unpredictable and vicious and should not be allowed in urban areas.
If we allow the hunting of cougars in Oregon; we should be destroying Pit Bulls also.
" A certain congressman from New York will not be joining his colleagues ..."
What's wrong with Ron Wyden? Isn't he a "certain congressman from New York?" Well, he lives there, but pretends to represent Oregon.
"I didn't plan on having my kids and bringing them into poverty," she says."
Should have thought about that before you had those children.
The rest of us fail to see why that should be our problem. (Section 8.)
What a surprise.
Open government, don'tcha just love it?
I agree with much of what you say, but a strong mayor and Chief of Police would not be intimidated by the PPAA.
It's almost like the PPAA is running the department.
If an officer is terminated correctly, he or she would not be reinstated, as we see so often, for wrong behavior.
The City of Portland leaders, including the top leadership of the Bureau, simply don't know how to hire police officers, and don't know how to get rid of them as needed.
Oops, that's "mentality."
The Feds will bumble about, be shined on by the supervisors within the department, and ultimately find that the Bureau did nothing wrong, that it was some bad apples that caused all these shootings and ergo, the problems at the Police Bureau.
Note to the Federal Investigators.
Look at the hiring practices in the past 25 years. 30 years ago most of the officers working at PPB today would never have made it through the process, let alone be working the street.
Look at the Training bureau.
Look closely at the people who've been promoted to Captain and higher in the past 20 years, therein lies much of the present day problems.
Look a the mentally of the individuals who have been hired as Chief's of Police. One in particular was quite unstable, unable to control his emotions let alone lead people with the amount of discretion that police officer's possess.
The problems within can be found at the highest levels of PPB.
I'm embarrassed that I voted for Obama too.
If it looks like a duck, talks like a duck, and walks like a duck ...
Crooks all, what a surprise.
"The nurse told us she overheard the doctors saying there is no medical explanation for her recovery. "
There is always an explanation, these guys just don't know what it is, and calling it a "miracle," is silly at best.
Moreover, this is exactly why we should require a license to breed. If people aren't going to care for the children they produce, then they shouldn't be having them.
Steve Duin, carrying the water and acting as the official "Kitzhaber Apologist."
Quoting his girlfriend, a gal we are all paying,
"The first significant event happened at the Airport, before we even left Oregon – I call it "airport whisking". Once we checked our bags, John and I were escorted by the Dignitary Protection Unit (DPU) guards right around airport security. A TSA man looked at our passports and sent us on our way. No lines, no inspections, no taking off shoes and jackets, no pulling laptops out of their cases. I had already put all of my little gels and lotions into the customary plastic sandwich bag. As we whisked through, I sheepishly tucked them down into my attaché. Rookie mistake. Who knew? (I fear this one thing, this whisking through airports, may spoil me beyond anything else)."
Welcome to the elite lady, and I am sure you pouted when the Gov originally wanted to attend the funeral, and you got him to relent and not spoil your day.
Is this a fake/anonymous Rob Gordon posting?
Why, if this isn't Gordon posting, are you carrying his water?

One of Glee's Parents Just Landed a New Show: Is The Character Gone for Good?
Deadline reports that occasional Glee guest-star Romy Rosemont (Carole Hudson-Hummel) has been added to the cast of a new pilot for NBC entitled Downwardly Mobile. The show is the new starring vehicle for sitcom vet Roseanne Barr, who plays the main character of Rose, the manager of a mobile home park who becomes a "surrogate mother to the unique people who live there in a challenging economy."
Ms. Hudson-Hummel – err, Ms. Rosemont – has been cast in the role of Sheila, a resident who works as a nurse on the "death floor" of a nursing home.
Sounds… interesting?
But most importantly, if the show gets picked up, will it mean less screen time for Mrs. H-H?
We'd guess… No!
Consider this: Romy has appeared as Finn's mother in just 12 eps of Glee since 2009 – according to IMDB – as compared to her on-screen hub Mike O'Malley (Burt Hummel), who has clocked a total of 35. In that time, Mike's also racked up a guest-starring spot in the first season of Parenthood, and roles in films like Eat Pray Love, Cedar Rapids, and the just-completed R.I.P.D.
That means there's plenty of time for her to re-appear on Glee – which is good, because we have a feeling Finn's gonna need some love as he traverses his first post-HS year of life…

The males use their horns in combats over access to females or breeding sites. The beetles will try to prise each other off a tree trunk or log and then carry or flip their opponents away with their horns.
Usually the largest males are the victors, but smaller males are sometimes able to sneak past battling pairs of big males.
Successful males will mate with the female and fertilize her eggs.
The females lay eggs in decomposing tree trunks - especially those that are left standing - where the larvae develop feeding on the decaying wood in tree hollows from the ground up to the canopy. They can be quite numerous in old tree cavities.
They have been recorded from several tree species including some in the families Euphorbiaceae, Lauraceae and Urticaceae,
The larvae probably develop over the course of 2 or more years, going through 3 larval instars before pupating in a large cocoon made from the substrate.
The larval stage is the ecologically important one because the larvae are decomposers - they facilitate the breakdown of organic matter and are therefore important nutrient recyclers.
Adults live for a few months, but can be kept in captivity for up to a year, The comparatively short lived adults are only concerned with finding mates and reproducing. They eat sweet and sticky tree sap, fermenting fruit and sugar cane.
The beetles are nocturnal and fly around noisily at night. They can be attracted to artificial lights, like many other rhinoceros beetles, moths and other insects. Entomologists routinely use very bright mercury vapour light bulbs to attract insects for study.

According to a report in today's Daily Mirror, pubescent Arctic Monkeys leader Alex Turner has been sending dirty text messages to tri-nippled MySpace sensation Lily Allen. While we have no doubt that Turner's texts were witty, expertly punctuated, and featuring all sorts of polysyllabic words, his efforts were, sadly, in vain: "Basically he said that he wanted her to go back to his hotel — or that he could go to hers," claims the Mirror's anonymous source. "Lily showed a few people before falling about laughing, saying that he had no chance." And just like that, we're spared a Mark Ronson–produced ska single about an Arctic Monkey's penis. Bummer.

Product description
All the bears in the book are based on the same, simple knitted bear, instructions for which are provided at the beginning of the book and which are easy enough for even novice knitters to follow. There are then 20 unique designs, including a hiking bear complete with boots and a backpack, a beach-loving bikini bear, a sweet honey bee bear, and a pretty pink ballet dancer, each with its own knitted outfit and accessories. Every bear has its own special character, and the reader is bound to find at least one they just have to knit. Suitable for adults as well as children, they make ideal gifts, and of course there is nothing to stop the reader creating characters of their own that they can personalise to suit a particular person or occasion.

Review quote
Who is ready for a teddy bears' picnic? Dress your teddies in style. Knitting patterns for twenty bears. These small bears are quick to knit and lots of fun.-KarenPlatt.co.uk Bear fans rejoice! With this little book you'll learn how to create a simple bear to then dress up in a range of charming and comical outfits, handknitted by you. Each bear measures 20cm or 8 inches high and is easy enough even for novice knitters to complete. The outfits are what really give the bears their character, and our favourites are Hector Hiking Bear, complete with boots and a rucksack, and Grace Bride Bear, dressed up in a white gown. These bears make great gifts for adults and children, and the book will make a lovely gift for someone who wants to try knitting bears for the first time.-Knit Today Here is another book that shows you what to do with all that leftover double knitting wool you have in your bag. You will probably need to buy a ball or two for the bears, although at 8" high the leftover yarn might do for this as well. There is a basic pattern for a bear at the start of this book, together with basic patterns for trousers, dress and shoes. But there are also twenty different ways to make up your bear in a different style, together with instructions on how to turn it into a panda and lots of other colored bears. My favorite aspect of this (apart from the opportunities for fund raising and recycling) has to be the imagination involved in dreaming up the different looks. There is a Christmas bear, baby bear, bride and groom, panda and girl teddy in a pretty dress or two, but then there is also a bear in Hallowe'en garb (dressed as a pumpkin), fancy dress, teddy as a strawberry, a bee and a ladybird as well as a footballer, ballerina, along with various male attires. This is more a book for the intermediate knitter, as there is a certain amount of knitting know-how needed to make the bears look their best. Not all the bears seem to have exactly the same proportions, so some tweaks to the basic pattern are sometimes necessary. This will give you the experience to create yet more bears; one for everybody you know!-Myshelf.com Brits certainly love their teddy bears, and you will too when you see this book - especially if you are a fan of the garter stitch. Designer Val Pierce has created a lovely pattern for the main 8" bear, knittable in the colour of your choice - endless possibilities - and then the costuming begins! There are twenty little bears, ranging from bumblebee, strawberry, bride and groom, hiking, ladybird, and even a knitting bear. Each project takes small amounts of yarn, so it's the perfect title for the de-stashing of your yarn treasure troves. Rev up your knitting needles and grab that ball of double knitting yarn. You are on your way to the teddy bear's picnic.-Spool

The governing board of the University of Texas is expected to extend the length of football coach Mack Brown's contract by four years, through 2020, a well-placed source told the American-Statesman this evening.
The source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the source was not authorized to speak publicly, said Brown would continue to receive annual raises of $100,000. His current compensation is $5.2 million.
The UT System Board of Regents is schedule to meet by telephone Thursday to consider changes in the contract.
A contract extension would be a signal to potential recruits that the coach isn't about to leave. But the regents are also expected to approve a provision that would in essence allow the university to dismiss Brown for $3.5 million with about six months' notice, the source said.

Day 4 Theme: Repentance
Thou hast left thy first love. Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent– Revelation 2:4-5
Do you remember when your eyes were first opened to see the beauty and the grace and the power of Jesus Christ? Perhaps it was at a young age, or after many wrong and painful choices, or as a result of a long and arduous search for truth — but when Christ revealed himself to you, you had eyes only for Him.
But since then, things have changed. Life has gotten busy, work has been stressful, the hunt for an escape has replaced your search for truth. Maybe you still go through the religious motions of church attendance or Bible studies, but your heart is not in it any more. You have left your first love.
If this describes you, then Jesus says to you "Remember." Remember the peace and the joy and the satisfaction that is only found in a close relationship with Christ. Remember the worthiness and glory and humility of Christ on the cross. Remember what it's all about. It's all about Jesus.
And after you remember, then repent. Repentance necessarily involves admitting that you have been wrong…but it means even more than that. It means changing your ways and doing what is right. Repent of the fact that you have let other things come between you and Christ; admit that you have not nurtured your love for Him as you ought; confess your need of His renewing and reviving work in your life.
Remember. Repent. Return to your first love

Fall Term 2010
Catapulting off a highly successful Autumn Term, where a whopping 310 freshmen rushed Into the Streets, Service Learning has been a mess of activity this fall!
The first Justice Dinner invited students to challenge common conventions and preconceived notions of power and justice as they revisited an old favorite, "The Emperor's New Clothes". The second Justice Dinner took a saucier turn, as the CIW (Coalition of Immokalee Workers) came up to dine and discuss. Together, students and CIW representatives, discussed the injustices witnessed in the migrant farm worker population of South Florida, the nation's largest provider of tomatoes. The third gathering will provoke thought and debate over LGBT treatment and rights.
Weekends were punctuated with various service trips. On September 11, a group volunteered at a local Mosque, to show solidarity against a tide of religious ignorance. A group traveled south to Sarasota to SMART (Sarasota Manatee Association of Riding Therapy), aiding general upkeep of the facilities. Some other students shared a Saturday morning with New College volunteers at Terra Ceia Preserve, participating in Manatee County's Costal Clean Up Day. Those volunteers desiring more a black tie feel, gathered to assist PARC (Pinellas Association of Retarded Children) with their black tie gala. They greeted guests and facilitated the silent auction.
On October 23, 2010 a group of 15 environmentally crazed students set out to conquer a 'River of Grass', thus began the Fall Break Service Trip to the Everglades National Park, the largest subtropical wilderness in the United States! Here, these fearless students braved hot days and sleepless, buggy nights with no more than a tent wall to keep them protected. Never the less, service prevailed and two southern trails where restored and cleared (Eco Pond and Rowdy Bend).

NATO-Israel Joint Operation: Access Codes
Force-through-Force Operation Opens Access Codes to Israel
New in the Website
Israel has already a liaison officer within the NATO's Active Endeavor naval force since 2009. However, the dispatch of the missile-ship will mark an important step up in Israel's relationship with NATO. The Israeli warship will participate in routine security patrols. In Brussels, NATO spokesman James Appathurai said Friday (February 10) that the alliance separates such activities from "political events in the Middle East." The Israeli "big interest" (as defined by Mr. Vilnai) probably has to do with the NATO communications system.
"Zulu from Alpha; Camel in Eta, Request Beta"
The mock codified subtitle above captures the schematic shape of a simple communications code. A possible decodification could be: "Naval base, here is the patrol ship; there is an unidentified ship in the port, asking for permission to approach it." It could describe a situation in which a ship from the same army, but from a different force, is just crossing through the mentioned port but erred while informing the regional unit monitoring the port, thus becoming an unknown entity to "alpha." It illustrates a main problem in military operations. In Hebrew, it is known as "force-through-force" (coah-dereh-coah) and probably it has similar names in most languages. When one military force needs to cross a terrain held by another force, a complex coordinating procedure is needed, "force-through-force" is the result. At least in the IDF, this is the nightmare of every cadet.
In the days of analogue MK77 wireless communications devices, and even with the digital MK91, the coordination of such an event is a nightmare, and not only due to the low quality of the transmitted voice. Only gifted soldiers are capable of understanding the gibberish emanating from the lousy loudspeakers while replacing all the codes in a reasonable amount of time. Many lose their careers as army officers after failing such an exercise. Even in real life, the event is complex, especially if working against a major headquarters. Imagine a platoon trying to cross terrain controlled directly by the regional division headquarters. The platoon's communication sergeant would probably get lost just by trying to figure out with whom he is speaking. Errors happen frequently. At least in the IDF, this is the main reason for deaths caused by friendly fire. If the abovementioned sergeant told the wrong person in the division that his force would cross the division's area, this may result in the platoon being targeted by the division's artillery. Until the error is clarified, the platoon may not exist any longer. It is assumed that in the First Lebanon War, at least 10% of the IDF casualties were inflicted this way. In other words, "force-through-force" is a key element in the operation of an army.
Understanding the communications system is key in order to avoid such errors. The first step is to comprehend the syntax being used. That means understanding how the sentences are constructed. In the example above, it began with an identification of who is being called, and it was immediately followed by a self-identification; the message came afterwards. Different systems may be used. No less important is knowing the actual codes. In the example above "Zulu" was the headquarters; but the following week this code may be changed to "alpha." Thus, a constant follow up on the syntax and codes used is essential for understanding ongoing communications. This is true even in automated electronic procedures.
"Alo, Bibi? It's Vilnai, in NATO!"
Understanding this, Israeli excitement about getting access to NATO's Operation Active Endeavour becomes clear. This operation monitors the movements of all ships in the Mediterranean Sea. That includes IDF and ZIM ships. The latter is the commercial fleet of Israel and is closely related to Israel's military activities.
In other words, if Israel wants to be able to speak directly with NATO's naval communications system, it needs accurate access to the codes and syntax used at any given moment. The best way of achieving that is getting the information directly from NATO due to its status as Operation Active Endeavour participant. Israel is about to achieve that.
Once Israel gets that, it would be able to manipulate NATO's communications (for example by disguising one of its missile-ships as an Iranian one) in a credible way, and to mimic a false flag attack on NATO. Is that what Mr. Vilnai defined as "Israel's big interest?"

I began my college education after 26 years of employment. I had no idea what a syllabus or a thesis statement was, needless to say, I was extremely intimidated and my self-esteem was diminished. My life quickly overflowed with people from all walks of life who were there to support and help me realize my full potential by stressing one important truth, although I was just beginning college I possessed a wealth of wisdom and knowledge gleaned from life experiences. Coupled with new knowledge gained from college coursework, what empowerment that was for me! Needless to say, I am so blessed to have these people in my life to help me attain my personal and educational goals and therefore I can do no less for others beginning their educational journey through support, encouragement, guidance, and celebration.

The Six Cs of Capability
I love serendipity. The other day I was following a bizarre, but interesting, trail of links and end up at the search engine 'karto'. I did a couple of searches, but I couldn't make much sense of the results I was getting. Pressing ahead I clicked on one of the links it threw up and stumbled across a treasure.
Not that I realised that it was a treasure at first. I was quickly skimming through it, almost about to move on somewhere else, when I saw the name Tyrrell Burgess. Now many years ago when I was working at what was then North East London Polytechnic as a research assistant Tyrrell Burgess very kindly tried to get me seconded to the School of Independent Studies he was in process of setting up.
Before I had joined NELP I was a student on Ealing's radical, Integrated Design course. This was a course where students effectively created their own individual course from the resources available. It was because of this experience that Tyrrell Burgess thought I might be useful in what he was doing. Sadly, the bureaucracy got in the way and I couldn't join him, but I remain sympathetically, informally engaged with what they were doing for some time.
Anyway, seeing that name made me look more closely at what turned out to be some memories of Sir Toby Weaver, who was a high ranking civil servant in the Ministry of Education. Three bits in his piece particularly resonated with me.
The first was what he called The Six Cs of Capability. These he explained in the following way;"Capability can be analysed into five or six capacities that an educated human being ought to be able to develop." He identifies these capacities as being:
Comprehension - "a capable person must understand and acquire the necessary knowledge as the basis for sensible action"
Cultivation - "the educated individual should have a proper sense of values, otherwise he or she has no background against which to decide between truth and error, between goodness and wickedness or between beauty and ugliness"
Competence - "the application of specialised knowledge such as that of the lawyer, the doctor or the technician"
Creativity -"the quality though which most of the great things in the world have been introduced"
Cooperation - the understanding that people "are not islands, as John Donne put it, but that they are connected to all their fellows"
Coping - "person?s general capacity to manage his" or her "own life, to cope with his environment, to profit from experience, to master what used to be called the art of living, to reach sensible decisions and act on them"
These seem to me to be very desirable and responsible aims of education and ones we too often fail to achieve. This is in part due to a failing of many educationalists, which he describes, in the following terms:
"With my background prejudices, which I have already given full expression to, I suspect that somewhere along the line the academics have got hold of the wrong end of the stick. By a form of reductionism that may be perfectly valid in physics or biology, they try to break down human activities into tiny elements and identify a huge array of narrowly-defined skills."
And finally a quote from John Macmurray who influence Weaver's thinking very strongly:
"All meaningful knowledge is for the sake of action, and all meaningful action for the sake of friendship."Posted by richard at March 17, 2004 3:00 PM

110 W. New York Ave.
DeLand, FL 32720
Sixth Home Invasion Suspect Arrested
posted Mar 26, 2013 - 11:22:05am
Volusia County Sheriff's deputies located Barkley at his Deltona home this morning and arrested him without incident (see original news release below). He will be booked into the Volusia County Branch Jail in Daytona Beach.
Volusia County Sheriff's investigators obtained an arrest warrant Thursday after identifying a sixth suspect in a home invasion robbery that happened Feb. 25 near DeLand. Deltona resident Scotty William Barkley, 19, now faces charges of principal to home invasion robbery with a firearm and conspiracy to commit home invasion robbery with a firearm. The Sheriff's Office is asking for the public's help in finding Barkley, whose last known address is 2601 Delaware Road. He's about 6'1" and 200 pounds.
The home invasion happened on 9th Avenue when a group of men entered a man's home in the afternoon and stole money from him at gunpoint. The victim had a young child in the house with him at the time. Three suspects were captured the day of incident and a fourth was arrested March 1. The ongoing investigation revealed that Barkley drove the group to the victim's house and was the intended get-away vehicle driver.
Anyone with information about the whereabouts of Barkley is asked to call the Sheriff's Office at (386) 943-7866 or Crime Stoppers of Northeast Florida, toll-free, at (888) 277-TIPS. They can also text a tip to Crime Stoppers by texting "TIP231 plus your message" to CRIMES. Individuals who provide information to Crime Stoppers can qualify for a reward of up to $1,000.
It was an unusual Monday afternoon for one man in his home near DeLand when a neighbor rushed over to him, handed him a 1-year-old child and said, "Here, take my baby, take my baby. I was just held up at gunpoint." The neighbor then jumped into a truck and sped away chasing the men who had barged into his home and stolen cash from him at gunpoint. The impromptu babysitter called 911 and relayed what was happening as the events unfolded to the Volusia County Sheriff's Office until deputies arrived on scene. Deputies arrested three men, charging them with home invasion and other offenses. The victim and his child were not injured, but one of the suspects was transported to Florida Hospital DeLand to be treated for minor injuries after being captured by a Sheriff's Office K-9. Another suspect was later taken to Halifax Health Medical Center in Daytona Beach after a bullet wound was found in his groin area during a search at the Volusia County Branch Jail in Daytona Beach. Investigators are still searching for a fourth suspect who had fled the scene before deputies arrived.
The chain of events started at about 3 p.m. at 1302 9th Avenue when the 37-year-old victim was home with his young daughter and saw four men with their faces covered and brandishing guns approach a back door. The suspects stormed inside and demanded money from the victim who handed over more than $5,000. After quickly looking around the house, the suspects fled. The victim then ran across the street, dropped his daughter off with a neighbor and asked him to call 911. He went back to his house, got into his truck and took off after the suspects who were on foot. Deputies, DeLand Police Department officers and a Sheriff's Office helicopter responded. The first deputy on scene met with the victim near the intersection of 8th Avenue and Laurell Avenue. The victim pointed out the two fleeing suspects and after a brief foot chase the deputy captured Jose Santana, 25 (DOB: 7/13/1987), and James Tailor, 19 (DOB: 7/1/1993).
A Sheriff's Office K-9 unit then searched the area and captured a third suspect hiding in the woods. Jason Allen, 31 (DOB: 11/18/1981), sustained a minor injury to his right leg after being bit by the dog. All three men were charged with armed home invasion and grand theft. Tailor and Santana were also charged with possession of marijuana over 20 grams after the drug was found in a backpack in the area where they were captured along with a BB gun. Allen was also charged with possession of a controlled substance after a baggie with some pills was found in his pocket and he was also arrested on a violation of probation warrant. It's not believed that the home invasion was a random act, but the motivation is still under investigation.
The defendants were transported to the Branch Jail in Daytona Beach and during a strip search there it was discovered that Santana had a non life-threatening bullet wound in his groin area. Santana couldn't provide any details about how he sustained the injury other than stating it happened when he was running to hide.

As far as overhauling the laws, I'll buy into that when the first Wall St guy goes away for 2008!!!
How did they know he had $5000 laying around?
The jails are full....boys and girls....now what?
I am free to protect my castle with whatever force I need. It is my castle, afterall. My fully paid for with my hard earned money castle and no one going to take it away without a fight (which I will win).
But...don't people realize that many of these senseless invations are due to drug and pot dealing/abuse?
Think twice before excusing the potheads. They are filling the jails, but they are part of the problem too.

Did you know that propolis is applied so extensively in Russia that it has been labelled the 'Russian Penicillin'? I absolutely didn't, until rather not too long ago. But I was knowledgeable that understanding about the antibiotic and healing properties of propolis dates back more than 2000 decades.
Hippocrates, the father of medication, utilized it as a salve to treat wounds, whilst through the days of Aristotle propolis was taken internally to reduce ulcers. Following including their very own glandular substance, they use it as a type of cement to seal and tighten the hive to secure it. Any invader that wanders in is encased in the resin, so the bees avoid contamination.
Perhaps this insight seems uninspiring in terms of how it might support our overall health! Nonetheless propolis has been exposed to be a healthy antibiotic for gentleman – and effective to the immune system against the onslaught of infectious ailments.
'Nature has offered bees a purely natural antibacterial substance in the sort of the sap-like propolis to preserve their hives absolutely free of infection. No strain of bacteria has developed immunity to it. Tichonov and D.P. Salvo, in 'The Healing Attributes of Propolis' reported on their profitable use of propolis in far more than 70 different research about 20 a long time in Russia.
Highlighting the beneficial results of propolis on the thymus gland, they stated: 'When propolis is taken internally, the pace of metabolic process is greater and the resistance of the organism is raised. Propolis, in contrast to antibiotics, intensifies the full immunological reactive ability of the macro-organism.'
Dr Reny Chauvin, of the Sorbonne in Paris, a European researcher studying propolis, had this last word to say on the topic:
'Scientists have extended thought that nature has an reply for any illness. It is just a make any difference of locating it. Bee propolis boosts your powers of resistance and even immunity versus such challenges as viral infections, colds, flu, coughs, tonsillitis and cystitis. It operates by a exclusive method, raising your body's all-natural resistance to infection by stimulating your individual immune process.'
To stop this from happening it is imperative that one particular pay a visit to the dentist common as properly as check out the oral hygienist to have you teethed cleaned adequately. From a little one an individual ought to practice superior oral behavior and just after each meal an individual really should brush their teeth gently with circular brushing and an individual need's to floss among the gums and teeth to take away any foods deposits.
There are now mouth washes as well as toothpastes that consist of bee propolis to fight gum recession. These items aid the gums retain their wellbeing as nicely as build up the bone. 1 can now also attain more than the counter bee propolis tablets which come in distinct strengths as properly as combinations of bee propolis and Royal Jelly which has a recognized healing influence on receding gums.
Several that have taken care of there gum economic downturn with merchandise that contains bee propolis have noted back again stating their gums enhanced speedily as did their bone reduction. In depth study has also demonstrated that propolis has a certain antiseptic and anti bacterial regenerative residence and is becoming advised by many dentists globally.I'm a herbal medicine practitioner
