Archaeologist maps early civilization
Since the early 1920's, archaeologists have travelled to Tunica County to study one of the most significant archaeological sites in the region–the Hollywood Mounds Site.
Today, thanks to new developments in geomapping technologies, a Tulane University doctoral candidate is carrying that momentum forward to determine even more about the civilization of people that once called this site home.
"It is one of the biggest sites in the Delta," said Bryan Haley, the researcher who will be spending the next five weeks in Tunica mapping the Hollywood Mounds Site. "It's nearly a half mile north to south and maybe a quarter mile east to west. It's one of the largest Mississippian sites we know of."

First, let me offer a personal confession: I am old enough to remember what it felt like to anxiously wait to learn where my birth date fell in one of the final U.S. military draft lotteries during the Vietnam War era. If you happen to be that old, then the odds are much better that you are familiar with the work of Father Daniel Berrigan.
One more confession: It will also be easier to understand this post if, at one point in your life, you were a strong supporter of abortion rights and then you started reading the works of political liberals -- in some cases socialists -- who were also defenders of the weakest of the weak, as in unborn children.
Thus, with all of that in my past, it was interesting to read the news-media obituaries and tributes to Father Berrigan this week.
Journalists, of course, put most of their focus on his anti-war activism -- which was totally appropriate. More than a few (think "Me and Julio Down By the Schoolyard") discussed the degree to which Berrigan and his brother Philip became public figures and even symbols in popular culture.
It would be easy to say that he was just an anti-war leader and, in the eyes of many conservatives, someone who went overboard in his criticism of America. It would have been easy to say that, and that alone. However, I also wanted to see if journalists would deal with some of the other truly countercultural implications of Father Berrigan's beliefs.
In short, I was interested in noting what journalists mentioned, as opposed to what they edited out of this radical life story. Thus, here is a short and rather easy test. Which of the following summaries of Berrigan's life and career is from Crux and which is from The New York Times? I made them extra long to show more context:

After 6 months of recording calories and burning out and then struggling with regaining, and then doing one of those crazy restrictive diets just to get back where I was....I was feeling burn out and frustration. It seemed that when I wasn't recording I would start to eat more and gain but recording calories became such a drag after a while...I found myself eating the same foods everyday because I didn't feel like looking up and calculating new things.
I happened to be in the same room (getting my hair done) with a leader of weight watchers who was explaining to me about the new program. These were her points which sold me:
*the points are now based on glycemic index, which nudges people toward eating more protein, fruits and veggies and limited amounts of carbs
*all fruits and veggies are free except dried fruits and corn (WHICH MEANS YOU DON'T HAVE TO RECORD THESE....A BIG PLUS FOR ME!!!!)
*They have something called etools with an app for the iphone (that had my interest immediately)
*Each week you get a surplus of points that you can use for those times when you have special "eating out" events and you know you're going to come in over your normal daily allotment. These points can't be accumulated, so you use or lose them each week.
*You could join for 7 days as a trial, for free
*Weight loss with this new program seems to be slow and steady, without any of the plateaus there were seeing with the previous points plan.
So I tried it out for the 7 days, and even though it's not cheap, I decided after one week to continue with it. The phone app is great and has every food you can imagine as well as all the restaurants. Keeping the points is so much less time consuming than counting calories, especially since I don't have to keep track of fruits and veggies.
I'm really liking it so far, but time will tell. It seems to be something that won't be too hard to keep up with while on vacation.
Well, I'll stop in from time to time to keep up with you on how this is working out. Other than that, I'm keeping busy with going to classes 3 days a week, gardening and the usual...getting my basement uncluttered AGAIN!
Don't forget to stop by my website and give me a shout there!

I know of several that use Weight Watchers and have lost weight. I used to be at an online site, Cleaning House, and as we discussed all manner of topics, we shared with each other about our weight. That is where I heard of Spark People.
Since I don't work and don't have an income, that sold me on Spark People. I say, do what works for you.

One of the best tours taken. Our guide was awesome and provided much detail and recommendations which were really good.
This tour was outstanding. Our tour guide Pedro was excellent. We traveled throughout Lisbon's neighborhoods, stopping at various food locales to sample the local delicacies and meet the people. It was delightful. Food and wines were delicious and I enjoyed all aspects of the tour. There were just 7 people on our tour so it was intimate and we all got to know one another which made the tour even more special. I would recommend this tour to anyone!
Softie was a wonderful guide. I loved the tour. Thanks
Our guide Martha was wonderful, it was so much fun doing the different tastings, she took us to out of the way places we probably would have never seen otherwise. Would definitely use Viator again, this was our third tour through Viator on this vacation,
Great tour guide, very knowledgeable, fun tour!
Martha was excellent, she took us to less 'touristy' places and to experience different ethnic areas.
Our tour group was small so it was easy to keep together and 'gather round' to hear Martha explaining the history and architecture of Lisbon.
The food and drink stops gave us the opportunity to try genuine local produce.
Lisbon is hilly so you need to be reasonably fit to climb some of the steps on this tour.
Great tour, especially for the price.
Margarita was a joy as our guide! Informative and pleasant 4 hours with a small group. Great history, food and drink, local flavour, and recommendations made for an awesome way to get to know Lisbon!
Excellent tour, our guide Margarida sp was awesome! Nice pace, great food and drink, and interesting historical information. Margarida has an excellent knowledge of history and local culture. High
Y recommend!
We had a great time. It was worth walking around the city. Enjoyed a lot.
Fantastic experience with a wonderful guide and lots of local information. Our guide Sophia did an excellent job of keeping us entertained, as well as providing us with various samples of authetic food and drink. Great tour for singles, couples groups - but be prepared to walk!
Excellent tour, Pedro was a charming and informative guide.
Sophia was the best, patient and informative, love her
I would warn seniors that the waking is strenuous but definitely worth the walk. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Beautiful city and nice breaks with food tapas.
umuva United States of ...
Jorge was our guide and he was great. Tour was lots of fun. Eight of us got to see so much. Tastings were wonderful. Combined a city tour with food. Ferry across Tagus to restaurant added bonus.
It was an amazing tour, well worth the money. It gave us a good oversight of Lisbon, so that we could go back and visit spots that was of interest to us later in our trip.
I cannot say enough positive things of Jorge our tour guide. He was patient, knowledgeable and offered many travel tips that we used later on. He was very helpful and made the tour even more enjoyable.
Jorge was very informative and mindful of keeping a nice steady pace for all the participants. He obviously loved his city and was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We visit Lisbon again next September and would definitely look at your company to see what trips might be suitable for us.
An excellent informative tour taking you to some out of the way places. Do it and learn a bit more about Lisbon.
Margarita was amazing and always made sure everyone was ok with the walk and with the food. I enjoyed the hideaway places she took us to as i wouldn't have gone myself. I highly recommend this tour.

Margarita is a wonderful tour guide, funny knowledgable and helpful. Great tour off the beaten track, terrific tastings and a really good pace and length.
Our tour was wonderful! Our guide Sophia was so knowledgeable and so personable she made the tour so informative and so much fun. A very good start to our vacation!
This was the perfect way to start our visit to Lisbon. Our tour guide, Margarida, was knowledgeable, funny, and made this tour one of our favorites from out entire trip. Great way to see the city and get good lay of the land along with some very tasty food and great pictures too! I'd highly recommend booking this for your first day in Lisbon - you won't regret it.
Our guide Marta was very knowledgeable and friendly. She made it a very enjoyable tour. Highly recommend it to everyone.
Exceptional! Pedro was born and raised in Lisbon and was full of great and informative facts about the city and country. This was a small group, off the beaten path tour. I felt like I was experiencing Lisbon as a local, eating and walking with the locals not a mass of tourists. Pedro took us to just great places and shared the best of Lisbon. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting a small group experience.
Our guide Hugo was humorous and well-informed, which meant we all had a very enjoyable walking tour.

New Mexico's highest court has sent a blunt message to trial courts and attorneys who practice in the state: Even those who don't speak English have the constitutional right to serve as jurors.
The state's Supreme Court issued the determination in a ruling handed down this week that upheld an Albuquerque man's murder, armed robbery and stabbing convictions, The Associated Press reported.
The man, Michael Samora, had appealed his murder conviction, saying it should be reversed because the judge in his case excused a Spanish-speaking prospective juror who couldn't understand English.
The Supreme Court said the Bernalillo County judge was wrong in dismissing the non-English speaking juror, AP reported. Still, Samora didn't get the reversal he sought because his defense attorneys never objected to the prospective juror's dismissal at the time of the trial, the Supreme Court ruled.

1 x New Black Extractor Buffer
1 x Enhanced Reliability Bolt Spring Donut
1 x One Piece Gas Ring Upgrade

Morris, are you getting senile? "the same anti-Israel tripe he`s been spewing for the last several years" Morris V If Carter has been 'spewing tripe for several years' then how come you were on these very pages lecturing Cipora on the merits of Carter on the 13 Dec 2008[1 year ago]in post #17 'Cipora, stop ranting and start reading': http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1046157.html And at #62 on the same talk back you had this to say about Carter: "He`s the best ex-president the US has ever had, and I would argue that he is functioning at 110% of his abilities. The world is lucky to have him. You and I should do so much for it." MV, 12 months ago! "The best", huh? If Carter really has been spewing hate for *several years* you were oblivious until several months ago! From *the best* to *tripe* by epiphany or Fed-Ex! So Morris, if Carter was "spewing hate" for several years how come he was simply "the best" less than 12 months ago? Go figure.

To find the maximum height of a 2-3 Tree, can you keep traversing from the root node to its left child node, going all the way down until you run into a leaf?
This is fact: Since all leaf-nodes are on the same height, the lowest leaf at any point is the maximum height of the tree. (All leaf-nodes are on the same level).
If you keep going left do you always reach the bottom?

I'm extremely new to Hibernate. I posted a question before and it turns out the actual tutorial has bugs in it. But I thought I had straightened those things out. Anyway I am this part of the tutorial. When I do everything as it states before and get up to this point where you execute the line of code that says:
mvn exec:java -Dexec.mainClass="org.hibernate.tutorial.EventManager" -Dexec.args="store"
When I run that in cmd prompt inside of the correct folder: in my scenario the root folder is called test. I get the following error:
No suitable driver found for jdbc:hsqldb:mem:testdb
I am using only Maven and Hibernate. I am not using any IDE for this either. If I dont already have a db is one created for me?
Apparently no driver is found for the hsqldb which doesn't make sense to me.

Cory Edging – Self Shaped Asymmetrical Surfboard
Hey everyone at South Coast. Sorry it has been a while. Been busy finishing up school. I am finally done with school forever! Like most surfers I have always dreamed about shaping my own board and like most surfers, I never got around to doing it. That was until a few months ago. My last quarter of school I enrolled in a surfboard shaping class. Yes you heard correct, Cal Poly has a surfboard shaping class. I was hesitant at first, but I knew I would have fun.
I had gone to the Sacred Craft in Del Mar honoring Carl Ekstrom. After attending Sacred Craft, I knew I wanted to shape some sort of asymmetrical fish. The theory behind the asymmetrical surfboard justmakes sense to me. Our bodies are not perfectly symmetrical, our balance is not symmetrical, and the way we stand on a surfboard is not symmetrical. So why do our boards have to be symmetrical? We can apply more pressure on our toe side rail than on our heel side, because of the way our bodies are built. We can push harder and have better balance with the balls of our feet than with our heel. It makes perfect sense to shorten your heel side rail and add more curve to make transitions onto your heel side faster and more effortless.
I love the fish design and am inspired by people who are pushing the limits of the design. Daniel Thompson is one of those people. Tomos Hydrofoil range caught my eye years back. I really wanted to get my hands on one but never did. Around the time I was shaping the board, I was on Tomo's website looking at the Hydrofoils. I noticed that if you combined the jet tail and raptor tail it made a nice clean asymmetrical tail. So I decided to go with it. I originally cut the template out with a full length nose. The board was like 5'10" on the toe side and 5'7″ on the heel. After seeing some Tyler Warren and Ryan Burch's new shapes I decided to hack off the nose, but keep the same general outline. After all was said and done she came out to 5'61/2″ / 5'4″ x 191/2″ x 21/4″. I though it was gonna paddle like shit, but it paddles like it's a 5'10". It just doesn't have the unnecessary length and weight.
The first session on the board I have never felt more like a grom. I had an ear to ear grin the entire session. I didn't even care if the board worked considering how bizarre it looks. I was just stoked that I was riding a board my hands shaped. The board ended up working. It had a lot of drive because of the straight outline on the toe side rail and transitioning onto the heel side was so quick and effortless. I have not felt an easier transition from toe side rail to heel side rail. I have ridden the board about 6 times now and every session feels like I have it more dialed. This video is from the second session on her. Surf was pretty small, but I still had that ear to ear grin. Here is the video. Enjoy : )
Yucca Mofucca Hemp Agave Eco-Surfboard Video Review by Cory Edging
This board is my new favorite board right now. And that's saying a lot cause my quiver is pretty solid right now. I have a magic little MR twinny, a magic bonzer that I love, plus all my fishes by Larry Ricci. I haven't even thought about any of them this past week cause I have been on the Yucca Mofucca.
I was a little worried the board was gonna be too small for me. It is a 5'6″ x 19.5″ X 2.2″ and I am like 6′ 170lbs. I've surfed it about 4 or 5 times now and each session I am blown away by its capabilities. It floats different than a normal polyurethane board. Paddling it is more similar to swimming haha. The nose is real full and flat so it still gets into waves pretty easy. Once you get into one, that's when the magic happens. Once your standing on the board, it feels way different than a standard PU surfboard. It has the glide feeling that people always talk about with wood surfboards.
The thing absolutely hauls ass and it releases off the top real nice with the twin fin setup. I love twins. I really like the twin fin/pin tail setup. I love my fishes (twins and quads) but all of mine have a really wide tail blocks, because they all have a super deep swallow/fish tails. I feel like the pin tail with the twin fin setup, gets rid of a lot of unnecessary foam, but the board still has the flowy glide feeling like the traditional twin fin fishes. Not having that center fin keeps the loose flow feeling fishes have, but adding the pin allows the board to surf more vertical and top to bottom… Then add the yucca aspect you it and you get even more glide and speed.
The Yucca Mofucca was shaped by Chad Jackson of Kaimanu Hemp Surfboards. Surfshot actually did a interview with Chad a few years ago talking about his boards. The board is solid yucca(agave) core, no foam. Instead of using fiberglass, a hemp cloth was used, with an additional hemp cloth deck patch. Instead of using toxic polyester resins, it was glassed using a less toxic epoxy resin. The fins are redwood twin fins handmade by Chad Jackson. I have been in contact with Chad the past few months, just talking about surfing and boards and whatnot. He is a super inspirational dude. He started his own clothing company too that is all eco friendly clothing and every product he sells, he plants a tree. Like I said, pretty inspirational dude. -Cory Edging

The Little Clinic earns certification
The Little Clinic, which has a facility at Kroger in Shelbyville, has earned reaccreditation by continuing to demonstrate compliance with the highest national standards for healthcare safety and quality of care. A wholly-owned subsidiary of The Kroger Co., The Little Clinic initially earned accreditation in 2009 and is only the second retail health-care provider to receive reaccreditation from The Joint Commission. The company is the third largest retail clinic operator with 80 locations in select Kroger, King Soopers and Fry's stores in six states.
Baptists cut staff, reset future
The Kentucky Baptist Convention Mission Board this week embraced a plan that leaders say will enable more direct assistance to its 2,400 member churches to better prepare them to serve their communities and the world. Approval of the plan is the first step in the most significant reorganization of KBC Mission Board staff in memory, according to KBC President Adam Greenway.
Part of this was the announcement that 23 full-time and four part-time employees of the KBC Mission Board have accepted retirement or resignation incentive packages and will leave their jobs by June 30. Additionally, contracts for nine part-time ministry consultants will expire without renewal Aug. 31.
"The global economic downturn, and Kentucky Baptists' desire to send more resources to the international mission field have prompted these decisions," said Paul Chitwood, who began serving as executive director last July.
In addition to the sluggish economy, Chitwood cited dwindling support among the 2,400 Kentucky Baptist congregations for the Cooperative Program, a unified fund that Kentucky Baptists have used since 1925 to support missions and ministries in the commonwealth, North America and the world.
Between 2000 and 2011, the percentage of Kentucky Baptist churches' undesignated receipts set aside to support missions through the Cooperative Program has dropped from 9.2 percent to 6.75 percent.
Following an executive session discussion on Monday afternoon, board members endorsed the plan during the meeting's final session on Tuesday. There were five dissenting votes.
The strategy sharpens the focus of the KBC Mission Board staff into three areas of service: church consulting and revitalization, evangelism and church planting and missions mobilization.

UAE Mall operator gets profitable treat
In 2011, MAF took writedowns of 300 million dirhams on its hotels in Bahrain and 250 million dirhams on its Egypt operations.
September 17, 2012 3:50 by Reuters
Mall operator Majid Al Futtaim (MAF) reported a 17-percent rise in half-year operating profit on Monday as te nant re venues i n Bahrain and Egypt, dampened by Arab Spring unrest, rose, boosting the Dubai-based firm's income.
Unlisted MAF, the franchisee for Carrefour hypermarkets in 19 countries and operator of 11 malls across the Middle East and North Africa, said its operating profit was 1.5 billion dirhams ($408.39 million) for the six months to June 30. This compares with operating profit of 1.29 billion dirhams in the year-earlier period.
Revenue rose 15 percent to 10.75 billion dirhams.
MAF's property division, which includes its mall and hotel operations, reported a 16-percent rise in revenue to 1.5 billion dirhams, contributing 970 million dirhams of group operating profit.
"We have seen turnarounds in markets previously impacted by the Arab spring," MAF said in a statement, adding tenant sales in Egypt and Bahrain rose 44 and 23 percent respectively year-on-year. MAF's mall tenants pay a basic rent plus a proportion of their sale revenue to the developer.
In 2011, MAF took writedowns of 300 million dirhams on its hotels in Bahrain and 250 million dirhams on its Egypt operations.
Tenant sales in the United Arab Emirates and Oman were up 13 percent year-on-year.
MAF's lower-margin retail division, which includes its Carrefour franchises, made an operating profit of 467 million from sales of 8.9 billion dirhams, which were up 15 percent year-on-year.
MAF's Chief Executive Iyad Malas, speaking at the Reuters Retail and Consumer Summit last week, said he expected 2012 revenue growth to be in line with last year when gross revenue rose 10 percent to 19.6 billion dirhams.
The firm said it was reviewing "strategic opportunities" in Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi and Azerbaijan, while new developments in Lebanon and Egypt were moving forward. It also plans to open two more Carrefour hypermarkets by year-end, including its first store in Georgia.
MAF issued a $400 million debut sukuk in February and a $500 million, seven-year bond in July.
"The group's liquidity position is sufficient to cover over two years of its financing requirement," MAF added. "Financing initiatives are now focused on improving the profile of the company's debt portfolio such as reducing secured debt, refinancing to achieve more flexible and improved terms."

Hi Guys,
As you have seen your Covers Contests Data is no longer available on your Space page.
Dont worry this is the first step for the launch of our new and improved Contests platform.
Coming in October we will be launching the new platform completely and all your information will once again be available but just in a different location.
We appreciate your patience and we know that you will be more than happy with the new platform!
