The fish can jump up to seven feet and weigh nearly 200 pounds.
Seeds and beans thrive in warm and humid environments — environments that are also attractive for bacteria like Salmonella or E. coli. As the spring 2011 outbreak in Germany showed, bean sprouts are particularly risky. To be safe, skip raw sprouts on sandwiches and in salads; eat them only when cooked thoroughly, as in a stir fry.
Oysters, clams, mussels or other bivalves can be contaminated with deadly bacteria or parasites. Before buying, check that the shellfish were taken from safe waters and, to be extra cautious, cook before eating.

Do you know of any teachers who have faced violence in the classroom?
Relevant offers
Teachers facing violence in the classroom are slipping through cracks in the system, say education advocates.
Standover tactics, verbal abuse, or pushing and shoving might not be considered an "assault" by teachers, but are among violent incidents against teachers thought to be going unreported.
Where "serious physical contact" occurred education authorities should be keeping track, Post Primary Teachers' Association president Robin Duff said. The union had in the past labelled a problem of under-reported violence against teachers in New Zealand schools a "conspiracy of silence".
"One of the complexities of this has been that some schools are not wishing to draw attention to themselves. For clearly obvious reasons there is a large pressure to keep these things quiet or secret," Mr Duff said. "A teacher must come to school knowing they are safe, it is an obvious bottom line."
Figures released by ACC under the Official Information Act show of the 5714 claims for workplace injuries made by teachers in 2012, 280 were struck by a person or animal, 136 were pushed or pulled, and 132 reported being struck by a tool or implement.
However neither ACC nor the Ministry of Education was able to give an indication of how many teachers were being assaulted in New Zealand schools.
ACC spokeswoman Stephanie Melville said ACC did not have a category for recording "assault" in any workplace and it was impossible to say how many of the injuries reported last year arose from violent incidents.
"In fact, the vast majority of these claims are not criminal assault.
"Rather, it can include incidents of insect or animal bites, physical education accidents, and unintentional contact that may have caused harm," Ms Melville said.
Ministry of Education figures show that in 2011, about 130 pupils aged 16 and over were stood down or suspended from school nationwide for physical or verbal attacks on staff, but none were expelled.
A Ministry of Education spokeswoman said the department would not rule out the possibility of a move to call for schools to report violent incidents targeting staff.
"Collecting assault information would require a lot of work by schools, and we are mindful of the demands on them.
"However we are happy to meet with unions and to have this conversation," the spokeswoman said.
Mr Duff acknowledged that keeping track of the problem could create extra work for schools and issues of accuracy would arise but it was a problem that begged attention.
"If there is an attitude in the school that is intensely unhealthy, a culture of violence in the school, something needs to be done about it," he said.
Labour associate education spokesman Chris Hipkins said where a history of physical or verbal bullying of staff by students was apparent, incidents should be reported to a higher authority in cases where statutory intervention could help.
"I think the Ministry of Education should actually be monitoring this, there should be a centralised system for recording incidents," he said. "Assault on a teacher is often a symptom of greater problems within a school. If a school has a pattern of this . . . it would suggest a need for an intervention."
Queen Elizabeth College principal Michael Houghton said assaults on teachers had seldom occurred in his history at the school and students were quickly set straight if they deviated from behavioural standards.
"We have put a lot of things in place to ensure that students understand what the acceptable behaviour standard is," he said.
"In most cases teachers are able to handle things when students are a little bit frustrated."

Thank you to Antonio for the great accommodation in Amsterdam! The location is ideal, walking distance to everything in the city. The bed is comfortable, the home quaint and everything you need for a weekend for 2 people. I think 3 might be quite tight on space. It is at the top of the house so it is very quiet. Antonio helped us up the stairs with our bags which was very kind.
The apartment was in a great location, very near to Dam square. Antonio was very helpful and welcoming. Seeing the city on bikes we rented from him was a highlight of our trip! Thank you :-)
Love this apartment. Warm and cosy with everything you need. The bed is comfortable. Thanks Antonio for helping us up the stairs with our luggage. 100% recommend this apartment as close to everything but still quiet.
Antonio was an amazing host really helpful funny guy. Loft apartment was beautiful. Really comfy bed. Amazing coffee machine. Central location want to come again.
Antonio's thanks. Everything was very good. The house remarkable also was very comfortable for us. A fine arrangement of a bed on the second floor, the refrigerator, the furnace, ware and all necessary for cooking. Near the house I will give a supermarket, and the area Dam. The house in the center, on the channel the Single. Next time we will surely return to Antonio, and we will take with themselves friends. Once again many thanks!!! Everything was very much cool! Amsterdam incredibly beautiful and kind city.

Nous avons passé un agréable séjour dans cet appartement. Celui-ci correspond exactement au descriptif de l'annonce. Il est idéalement bien placé, à deux pas de la place centrale d'Amsterdam (place Dam) et à 20 min à pied de la gare Centraal. Le quartier est très calme.
Nous avons été bien accueilli par Antonio qui nous a donné quelques tuyaux sur la ville et qui a su se rendre disponible quand nous avons eu besoin de lui pour la location de vélos.
Antonio's place was stylish and served as a perfect starting point for exploring Amsterdam's historic city centre. Antonio was a pleasant host as he made it possible for us to check in earlier and it was very easy to meet up with him.

About the Host, Antonio
Hi, my name is Antonio and I'm from Italy, and I live in Amsterdam though. I love travels ,other people and cultures ... so I run a B&B. I also like good food, as a matter of fact I own a an Italian restaurant, which is at walking distance from the flat. You can also rent (at low rates some bikes to get around the city) and I offer also a service of electric cars (to be rented) which, beyond being ecologic, can be parked for free everywhere in the city. I look forward to see you in Amsterdam, Antonio

Jail records show that former major-league outfielder Andruw Jones is free on bond after being arrested in suburban Atlanta on a battery charge. Gwinnett County Detention Center records say Jones was booked into the county jail around 3:45 a.m. Tuesday and had been released on $2,400 bond by 11 a.m. No one was available at the Gwinnett County sheriff's office to give details about the circumstances surrounding his Christmas Day arrest. Once one of the premier players in the big leagues, Jones broke into the majors with the Atlanta Braves in 1996 and won 10 consecutive Gold Gloves from 1998-07 as their center fielder. He has 434 career home runs over 17 seasons in the majors. Jones, who spent last season with the New York Yankees, signed a $3.5 million, 1-year contract with the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles of Japan's Pacific League earlier this month.

Teach Before You Test, Mike
March 28, 2004
Sol Stern
AS a strong supporter of high educational standards, I should be cheering Mayor Bloomberg's plan to end social promotion for New York's third-graders.
A school system that cavalierly advances children from grade to grade even if they haven't mastered basic reading and math skills is just hurting those kids - and is certainly demanding little of its teachers and principals. But I'm not cheering this time, because the system also needs to teach those kids using programs and classroom methodologies that really work. And here the Bloomberg administration's education reforms fail miserably.
In August 2002, Chancellor Joel Klein picked progressive-education ideologue Diana Lam as his deputy for teaching and learning - surely one of the dumbest hiring decisions in the annals of New York City government.
With a very lackluster record of past accomplishment, Lam roared into town with guns blazing. She purged the Department of Education's top ranks of educators favoring a traditional teaching approach. She dumped a phonics-based reading curriculum, Success for All, which had boosted early-grade reading scores in some of the lowest-performing schools in the city.
Worse still, she installed in almost all city schools a "whole language" reading program, favored by creaky progressive-ed bastions like Columbia University's Teachers College, but with no track record of success in any urban district in America.
Lam's recent departure (in the wake of a nepotism contretemps) gave the Bloomberg administration a perfect opportunity to repair the educational damage. With a blueprint in place to hold back up to 15,000 third-graders who had failed standardized reading and math tests - and aware of the political opposition the plan would spark - the mayor and his schools chancellor could have announced that they were reviewing instructional approaches, especially in the early grades, to make absolutely sure that the schools used research-approved reading and math programs that work.
But in canning Lam, Chancellor Klein made it clear that he stood by her worldview. The tough ex-prosecutor is now a progressive-ed true believer, deriding the solid scientific evidence that supports phonics. His choice of Carmen Farina as Lam's temporary successor sends this message loud and clear.
If anything, Farina, a Teachers College stalwart, is even more a fan of whole-language reading and "fuzzy" math curricula than was Lam. In a 2002 article in El Diario, Farina claimed that the Lam-favored reading program had won the imprimatur of the National Reading Panel - a blatant falsehood. For good measure, she denounced the program's critics as "fanatics" and "extremists."
Presumably one of the fanatics she's referring to is Reid Lyon, President Bush's reading advisor and head of the National Institute of Child Health and Development of the National Institutes of Health.
It's no secret that Lyon believes that the city's current reading program fails the kids. At a recent UFT-sponsored reading conference in New York, he argued that picking a reading program is "a matter of ethics": Not to use what we know works, Lyon said, "is education malpractice." (Klein was invitated to the conference but declined to attend.)
How rigorously will Bloomberg's no-social-promotion plan be enforced, anyway? Most of those empowered in the instructional chain of command during Lam's two years of misrule are progressive-ed ideologues. The same philosophical impulse that leads these educators to reject the "teacher-centered" pedagogy of phonics also makes them suspicious of standardized tests.
Believing that children learn naturally and at their own pace, they are loath ever to hold students back. Given their pedagogical beliefs, they're like a fifth column on the social-promotion front and all but certain to try to sabotage the mayor's initiative.
Gotham's experiment in mayoral control of the schools will not succeed unless Mayor Bloomberg shifts gears on progressive-ed pedagogy. But time has about run out.

This recipe is not only easy to make, but it's light and delicious. The perfect summer salad that can go with everything from chicken to fish. I followed the recipe exactly, and it brought rave reviews from family and friends at our picnic. Nothing was left in a large double bowl! I love recipes that make me look good; both in shape and in the kitchen!
Summer Tomato, Onion & Cucumber Salad
From EatingWell: July/August 2011
Fresh wedges of tomato, thinly sliced onion and sliced cucumber dressed simply with vinegar and oil makes the most simple salad possible—think of it as the Southern counterpart to the classic Italian tomato-and-mozzarella salad. It is best enjoyed at the height of summer, when tomatoes and cucumbers are fresh from the garden.
10 Reviews for Summer Tomato, Onion & Cucumber Salad
I've made a similar salad to this for years using red wine vinegar and EVOO, but I occasionally change the vinegar to rice wine vinegar. If I don't have Vidalia onions, I soak the ones I have for at least an hour in ice water.
This has been on my rotating list of side dishes for a few months now, and it's delicious every time I make it. I use cherry or grape tomatoes and cut them in half which makes them the perfect size for this salad. I usually use red onions because those are what I have on hand, and I reduce the amount of onion because it's a bit overpowering for me. Next time I'll try a vidalia and see if that makes the onion flavor more subtle.
This is an absolutely amazing salad though, and I would definitely recommend it. I usually use parsley for the herb, but have also made this without the herbs added.
Really tasty! I'm not a big tomato person but still enjoyed this recipe! I would probably chop the tomatoes into smaller pieces but really, nothing has to be changed. I've actually been looking for that taste for years..brought back some great childhood memories.
Love this salad. Very light and refreshing. I made half the recipe and it only took about 6 minutes to make. For the fresh herb I used basil and it tastes great with this salad.

Wonderful video. Imagine the world when the settlers, IDF, AIPAC and ADL stop hating the Palestinians and begin to recognize they are human beings who also want respect, their own land and water and treatment that is not brutal! Imagine when self-loving Jews are no longer called self-hating Jews or anti-Semites ! Imagine no more hypocrisy from ADL! Will this be a greater miracle than Moses parting the Red Sea?

Initially disappointed, but ...
Janice from ,
... returning this would have been a bigger hassle than I was up for, & because everyone who sees it think it's a perfect fit for the room it's in, I've become 'okay' w/ it in the long run. First off, it's not at all a rich & glossy wood construction, contrary to how the image appears. Not sure what it is made of (I should have researched that thoroughly before purchasing) but on the plus side to all that, you can set a cold drink on the top w/out worrying about water stains, & I'm guessing that extreme heat / cold would have no expansion / constriction effect on it, so, this could be an ideal piece for an enclosed porch / outdoor living area. Second, & again contrary to the image, the coloring is somewhat off ~ it's less of a vibrant red & more of a reddish brown; the top is more of a dark oak than a dark brown; there isn't nearly as much distinction between the brown base, brown top & brown trim piece as the image would have you believe. Lastly, & this is actually the thing that annoys me most, is the fact that the door swings open from the opposite side of what the image shows, which somewhat negates the benefit of it being placed where I purchased it to go. If I had it to do all over again & was looking at this piece in person, I wouldn't pay over $100 for it.
Night Stand
Mary Jane Spada from 2717 Greenacre
This is only one of my favorite tables....They were a little small for end tables, so I have them in the bedrooms....They look very pretty...The red is a little darker than in the picture...I also purchased 2 red cabinets with three drawers and they are absolutly beautiful as an accent table....Now The 3 drawer is really red, just so beautuful....I put one in my living room and one in my dinning room....The best one for last.., is the Yellow handpainted cabinet...with one drawer and one door....very straight legs which off sets the cabinet....I bought a total of 5 and I have my eye on a couple of white tables, hand painted....They fit anywhere in your home as accent tables and changes the looks of the entire room, just beautiful..I dressed them up with plackards such as..FAMILY GATHERS HERE ...little candles..berrys..a lantern, which smells so elegent and relaxing....Sincerely, Mary Jane Spada
It spoke to me.
Dana from Mesa, Arizona – Verified Buyer
I do love this little table. It was packaged well and was exactly what I expected. It is well constructed. Even with a great black Friday weekend price this was splurging for me but I had to have it. The color is perfect for my family room where I have a deep salsa colored couch. I paired it up with a vintage dark wood Heywood-Wakefield dog bone chair with red upholstery and they look awesome together. There was a problem with my first shipment but Wayfair stepped up immediately. Their customer service is the best! I will enjoy this little for years to come. Can you tell I like it
A classy piece of furniture
Laurie from Benicia, CA
This piece holds quite a bit more than one would think. I use it to hold my DVDs. I constantly get compliments on it. I really like that the design is on all 4 sides of the piece. It gives one more choices in decorating. Pros: The color blends cohesively with many different color schemes Cons: The top drawer doesn't have a back to it. My DVDs were always falling into the back of the compartment where I couldn't get to them unless I took Everything out of the entire piece. Finally I rigged up my own back of the top drawer (you can't see i
Beautiful Cabinet
John from Madison, WI – Verified Buyer
The cabinet is beautiful both in design and workmanship. I am using it as an end table. It is complete finished even in the back. I love the storage in the drawer and cabinet.
Better than the picture!
Laura from Bothell, WA
Delivered in perfect comdition. Perfect size for a small room. When I first order it was in back order. When it was back in stock Wayfair notified me right away. I checked on my order and found out that it had recently gone on sale again and there was a $40.00 difference so I called customer service and they gladly credited my account.. The customer service rep was very enthusiastic.. People like that make your business. I'll be ordering from wayfair again and will recommend you to others.
Fun accent to my living room
Chris from KY – Verified Buyer
The package arrived quickly and packed well. The color is a little more burgundy than my computer showed, but that worked well for me.
Delightful Little Treasure
Sharon from Indian Land, SC – Verified Buyer
Beautifully detailed. The floral designs are on all sides. They are subtle paintings and not garish. The top drawer has a stop on it so it does not fall out when you open it fully. The bottom has a lot of storage space. Sturdy at 30 pounds and very well made. In overall color, mine is more brown with just the slightest hint of red. If you are considering it to purchase, you will not be disappointed with your choice.
Beautiful Red table
Jennifer from Palm Coast, FL – Verified Buyer
I so love this table. Its in my front room. The art work on it goes all the way around. Its roomy inside. Can hide the phone book, tablets and chargers. The drawer is perfect for the wireless mouse and lots of other little stuff. An it was a great buy. I've seed tables like this for 3x the price I got it here for.
Haiku End Table in Exotic Red
Mary from Charlotte, NC – Verified Buyer
This table is exactly what I wanted and looks exactly like it's advertised. I think it's a good value for the cost. I love the design, having both a drawer and a cupboard. The decoration is well done. I am very pleased with it and definitely would recommend to friends.

ABSTRACT: The fungus Claviceps purpurea grows on grasses and cereal grains and produces six predominant ergot alkaloids. These toxic substances undergo different transformation reactions during storage and cereal processing. One of these reactions is the addition of water to a double bond in the ergoline skeleton. Since light is required for this process, the substances formed were named lumi-ergot alkaloids. From these, a new asymmetric carbon and consequently two epimers with different polarities are formed. For investigations of lumi-ergot alkaloids, ergometrine was used exemplarily as it represents one of the six ergot alkaloids predominantly formed by Claviceps purpurea. The main reaction product, the less polar compound of the two lumi-ergometrine epimers, was separated by HPLC and unambiguously identified as 10-(S)-lumi-ergometrine using X-ray structural analysis. A HPLC-MS/MS method was developed for the detection of this substance in sclerotia extracts. Using this method, the existence of both epimeric forms of lumi-ergometrine could be proved in the sclerotia. This is the first time that the existence of a lumi-transformation product of ergot alkaloids was proved in naturally grown samples.Mycotoxin Research 02/2012; 28(1):59-66.

Time Out says
Mon May 7 2012
Miss Maude's, like her sister restaurant Miss Mamie's, doles out ample portions of soul food in a diner-like setting. The menu is dependable and invigorating, yet breaks little ground. A lush portion of cornmeal-crusted Louisiana catfish is accented with sides of collard greens and candied yams, while the North Carolina barbecue ribs hit the spot. Pecan waffles and fried chicken are available on weekends.

How The Team Championship Works?
• There will be 2 x 1 week heats. (3 min video entry)

• All 5 teams can submit their 6 min set from the 11th August but will not go live until Monday 17th August.
The Team Championship Rules?
• 2 Heats (A team may enter into both heats if they are not selected by the World Champions from Heat 1.)
• Teams will be required to upload a 3 minute video in the heats and then enter a 6 minute entry if they make it to the Online Team Final.
• Teams can only enter 1 x 3 minute video per heat.
• If a team is chosen as one of the 2 winners from a heat then they cannot enter heat 2.
• Minimum 2 DJs maximum 4.
• Any equipment can be used.
• The winning team will win an expenses paid trip to the world finals where they will showcase at the height of the event.
• The winning team members will all win a Rane TTM57mk11 mixer.
• As in the ONLINE DJ CHAMPIONSHIP filming must run continually from start to finish and whilst creative multi camera editing is allowed, the editing of more than one set is not.
