When split off from fundamental psychological needs, such actions often do much more harm than good...

I looked up at the sunny London sky, searching for gray tendrils of smoke in the air that could lead me to juicy, pink deer tenderloin. Bobbing past bankers in tailored suits and hipsters in skinny jeans, I checked the map I'd printed out for my destination, marked by a black buck's head.
Then my nose picked up a meaty scent, just before I rounded the corner of Whitecross Street market, near the business district, and delighted at the sight of venison-imbued smoke billowing from the wooden awning of the Wild Game Co. stall.

Poll: most Americans oppose tax funding for embryonic stem-cell research
Catholic World News - August 30, 2010
A new public-opinion survey shows strong opposition among US voters to taxpayer funding for embryonic stem-cell research.
By a margin of 57- 33 percent, respondents said that taxpayers should not subsidize experiments using embryonic stem cells, in a survey by of likely voters by Rasmussen Reports. The results neatly reversed the findings of a similar poll less than 18 months earlier, which had shown broad support for President Obama's decision to expand federal funding of the research

I am trying to extract a field from logs and generate report from it. Basically, I am trying to identify the authentication method.
My current search looks like -
* | rex "(?<authentication_type>(?i)(password))" | search password
This extracts a field called authentication_type with value password. But, it considers Password and password to be two different values. Does anyone know how can I force splunk to consider both the same values?
Up to 2 attachments (including images) can be used with a maximum of 524288 each and 1048576 total.
Splunk's search command is case insensitive. When creating a report, Splunk will consider these to be seperate values. If you want to make reporting commands insensitive to the case of a field, we can convert the field using eval and lower.
For example:
* | rex "(?<authentication_type>(?i)(password))" | eval authentication_type=lower(authentication_type) | search authentication_type=password
Up to 2 attachments (including images) can be used with a maximum of 524288 each and 1048576 total.
So, what if I don't extract fields at search time but extract using the manager? Will splunk consider Password and password different? If so, am I always required to use eval and lower functions at reporting type?
That is correct. You can make the regular expression insensitive to case, but not the value extracted. Eval must be used @ search time for this.
Wow! I didn't know that one! Thanks! :)

It was fine; while I enjoyed it, it's not something I'll be laying awake craving at night.flag if inappropriate
My sister made this and it was great. I had three servings! The salad even without the shrimp would be really good as a simple side dish.flag if inappropriate
We go to Tanglewood every summer and this made a wonderful dinner for our guests!! I marinated raw jumbo shrimp and grilled it....then I adder it to the rest of the recipe! Everybody loved it....we gave it rave reviews!!!flag if inappropriate
My copy of this recipe went right into the recycle bin. Tabbouleh was so-so. I had green shrimp so precooked them right in the marinade and that worked well. Perhaps had I doctored this up as some others did, I may have been more enthusiastic about this dish.flag if inappropriate
Really good! I took the advice of another reviewer and added parsley and more mint and arugula. I also used really good Israeli feta...it was so good.flag if inappropriate
EXCELLENT!!! Made a SUPER main-dish when served with H/M split-peas soup and that much overworked "crusty bread". The marinate made the shrimp scrumptious (I may marinate them that way for other salads). As usual I subbed fresh spinach for arugula (never any in this town). Since we like lots of veggies in something like this, I doubled the spinach (arugula) and increased the plum tomatoes by 50%. Used low-fat feta, and it didn't seem to matter. Only criticism--a bit too heavy on the bulgur mixture. Next time I will decrease it by 25%, and sub some water for an equal amount of oil. Didn't use anywhere near the amount of salt called for, and added several drops of hot chili sauce to the bulgur mixture. All-in-all, a must try recipe that is worthy of 3-1/2 forks.flag if inappropriate
The other cheese you can use is haloumi. Haloumi is best when grilled or fried so if you are going to grill the shrimp, grill the cheese until browned and softened and then, while the cheese is still warm, toss bite size chunks into the salad.flag if inappropriate
Thank you, Boston! I will try your cheese suggestion when I try this.flag if inappropriate
I haven't make this so I cannot make any ratings. Just want to answer the question Can't cook from Saratoga had. Ricotta salada is a good substitute for non-feta eaters. It's a firm cheese and is less strong and less saltyflag if inappropriate
The ingredients say to start with pre-cooked shrimp.flag if inappropriate

Danes vs. Swedes vs. Norwegians--- who were the best Vikings?
(We won't have a separate category for the Icelanders since they were originally Norwegian, after all, and didn't really go viking like their counterparts eastward did, having developed a more settled society).
Let's see... the Danes would be the early favourite, since they probably were more destructive than the others, especially in England. But they faded quickly, being converted to Christianity almost entirely by 1000.
The Swedes are interesting because they remained pagan for so long-- some even into the early 12th century. They were excellent explorers and tradesmen, but simply not as violent as the others (in relative terms, of course--- they terrorised many primitives along the Baltic).
The Norwegians were utterly crazed warriors. Almost all Vikings who used axes in combat were from Norway- insofar as archaeological evidence allows. Axes are slightly cooler than swords and spears, so that wins them some points. The Norwegians were the best boatbuilders and sailors of the lot-- witness the Gokstad and Oseberg ships for but two examples. The Norwegians remained pagan for a while- not so long as the Swedes, but still respectably so.
The Norwegians may be said to be, if not the bravest of the three, then at least the most pioneering and adventurous-- sailing to Iceland, Greenland, and then what would later become America is astonishing. All the more so when one considers the living arrangements-- sleeping in close quarters with men who looked and acted meaner than Grutle Kjelson for months and living on smoked herring.
The winners------- the Norwegians.

I'm 3/4 Norwegian, so I'll give it to the Norwegians. Second place goes to the Swedes, because my gandma's dad was from Varmland. Third goes to the Danes, who have something stuck in their throats.

Here in Iceland you would think this was the only place vikings ever existed. But a shithole like this place has to have some kind of tourist draw.
Question, in Norway/Sweden/Denmark are there still viking remnants around? In Iceland they have some cave paintings..that is it. Do yall have ships or monuments that still exist?

I'm Danish so I'm very biased of course. But let's not forget that the Viking language was called Danish tongue. So I think that it is clear to say that the Danes were the best Vikings
Nah We were all equals in our own way the other. Our languages has changed a lot since then. But a large part of our vocabulary still has some of the old words.
One of the best examples is the word for Christmas which is Jul.
Jul was once something that the Viking celebrated but then it was converted into the Christian celebration of Christmas. The same name was still kept.
Just one second, and I was left with nothing.

Although, the Gaels and Celts are automatically disqualified, due to their "non-Scandinavian" status. Granted, a good number of Vikings settled in Dublin, but has no bearing on the Gaels nor the Celts.

Indeed they did. And unfortunatly for them, the work they left behind gets built on rather than preserved. Stupid greedy Irish.
Well, since Gaels and Celts are disqualified, I'm going to go for which ever Vikings landed in Dublin and gave us a bit of history.

Never heard of cave paintings here dude... just some remnannts of houses and graves(weapons, clothes, jewelry etc.) and houses for livestock. Some boats too but not decorated ones.
Leifur Eiríkson the son of Eiríkur rauði(Eric the red who "discovered" Greenland) was born in Iceland and thus should be considered as an Icelander. He "discovered" America" (of course native americans were there way before)
but life's not a wheel with chains made of steel...

Also there exists icelandic saga called "Fundinn Noregr", which tells about ancient Finnish kings of Kvenland (Kainuu now) who had possessions all over scandinavia, and the most known one's, king Fornjortr's son Norre founded Norway. Today, on the north part of Norway i think, still live people called "Kvens".
Finnish viking called Thorfinn and his men accompanied with norwegians on raids, and these finns taught them to 'lead the wind', and it was so impressive that norwegians called it magic. From there originated the ancient norwegian word for magic: "finngerd".

Tampa, Florida -- The Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino celebrated its 10thanniversary on Tuesday.
Instead of receiving gifts, its president, John Fontana announced the casino was giving away charitable gifts.
"Over the next 10 years we will give four local charities $10,000 a year. Adding that up, that is a total of $100,000 in donations."
The charities are the Bill Edwards Foundation for the Arts, DeBartolo Family Foundation, Metropolitan Ministries, and Hands Across the Bay.
Hands Across the Bay is a charity that gives a hand-up to families that are struggling to get by.
"This donation is unbelievable," said Hands Across the Bay's president and founder, Julie Weintraub. "It takes a huge burden off. Any time someone donates funds like that... any organization can tell you we work so hard and to have that given back to us is just a huge relief. When someone makes that donation to you and trusts you with that money it's a huge compliment. They are trusting you, here are some funds and do good things with it."
The Hard Rock was proud to announce its overall economic impact on the Tampa Bay area.
The Tampa Bay Business Journal reported the Hard Rock was noted as the fifth largest private employer last year in the state. The Hard Rock currently employs more than 3,300 people.
The Innovation group surveyed the total economic impact from the Hard Rock from 2013 and found it had an impact of $592 million. It also projected the Hard Rock will have a $6 billion impact over the next decade.
The property has also donated more than $5 million dollars to the Tampa community by working with more than 100 charities. Fontana also said they make an annual commitment to the Florida Counseling on Compulsive Gambling fund.

Bellwoods Brewery
Bellwoods Brewery is one of three new restaurants to open on Ossington in the last month, along with The Saint and Hawker Bar. Still in its first month, the brewpub, which took over the space from Meta Gallery, had a packed house and a lineup out the door by 6 p.m. on Saturday. Owners Luke Pestl and Michael Clark were brewers for Amsterdam beer before opening Bellwoods, so they're no strangers to the craft, but running a restaurant is a first for both of them. So far, they seem to have it down pat.
Tucked back from the sidewalk in what was once an autoshop, the brewpub has an open area in front that will become a patio once the weather warms. The adjacent shop will soon open as their retail store, carrying their selection of drafts (see our review of them here).
The unassuming white exterior opens to an interior that is at once quaint and industrial. The back of the space is lined with towering, 20-foot high stainless steel fermenting tanks--this is where all the beer magic happens. But the intimate seating area has room for only 40 and feels like a pleasant cottage dining room. It's peppered with mismatched tables which are topped with small white candles and little mason jars of wild flowers. Meaty, warm aromas waft from the open kitchen where chef Guy Rawlings (of Brockton General and Lucien) prepares dishes. With Pestl and Clark moving casually between the glassed-in brew area and the front of the house, there's a fun energy to the place.
After waiting in a short line, my friend and I took a spot at the bar. At the bartender's recommendation, we ordered the Farmhouse Saison ($7.50), which was a good starting point. A sunny-coloured beer with fruity notes, the Saison has a lot of flavour without being too hoppy or over-powering.
Our brews were a nice, light accompaniment to the starters we ordered. We opted for a plate of salami ($9) made from lean beef and garlic that melted on the tongue and was a fine repose between sips of beer.
We paired this with a plate of Thunder Oak extra-old gouda ($12) served with fresh bread from Woodlot. The creamy but sharp cheese was tasty enough to eat all on its own, but the bread complemented it well.
We ordered a second round of beers. This time, we chose the caramel-coloured Witchshark Iipa ($8.50) — a hoppy, citrusy drink to awaken our taste buds after our cured and salty appetizers.
Next up, we were tempted by the lamb tongue with walnuts and raisin ($4) or the duck heart, charred with jalapeno oil ($4), but in the interest of our daily vegetable intake, we opted for the slightly less adventurous cucumber with paprika and garlic ($3). This arrived looking beautiful and bright on the plate, but was not a favourite. The cucumber was grilled, which enhanced the flavour and gave it a more tender texture, but we found ourselves craving the cucumber we know and love: served crisp, cold and refreshing.
The star of the evening was the duck leg, topped with shaved strips of asparagus, and a sauce made from apple, tarragon and sorrel ($15). The crisp asparagus balanced the tender duck and the sauce's flavours, although the texture of the meat was a little inconsistent and some bites were tougher than others. But when they got it right, it was so right.
To finish off we tried the Toil and Trouble Dubbel ($8.50), a dark mahogany beer with rich, fruity flavours. We sampled this one after dinner and the memory of dark fruits (maybe currents or berries) lingered pleasantly on my taste buds for the rest of the evening — a satisfying end to a satisfying meal.

Does this place take reservations and can I bring my kids?
Bonus: If his kids are well-behaved, it might be nice to expose them to something other than hamburgers.
This doesn't seem to be a problem in other parts of the world. I have no idea why it's such a big deal in North America.
But the onus is on the parents to raise their kids right. They have to teach them how to behave. A child should be able to talk to the server, not need a separate menu and leave the other diners in peace.
Not all kids need ipads and video games to keep them from whining. Having said that, the place is simply too crammed to reasonably bring kids along and expect them to behave for a couple of hours. Simple common sense. Parents have it, too.
More to the point though: the Witchshark IIPA is the best of its kind in Ontario (almost on par with similar stuff from the West Coast or Garrison in Nova Scotia) and the Baltic Porter gives Trois Mousquetaires a run for its money.
And yes, duck hearts.
Guess what, the kids behave. They were raised right. Look at Italy. Plenty of case examples. Every French family I've ever served has super-obedient kids.
Screaming kids in a restaurant is due to bad parenting, not just because children are there.
I've worked in restaurants and have seen plenty of children behave better than most adults. So it doesn't matter if someone wants to bring in their kid, what does matter is whether or not they are well behaved.
For the record, I was at Bellwoods last week. They actually have a couple high chairs and one couple had a kid. No one seemed to mind. In fact...it gave the place a good community feel. It was early though. Awesome spot.
Unfortunately parents with misbehaven kids obviously don't know their kids are misbehaven because they're the shitty parents who raised them. I don't mind kids if they're respectful, but it's a few bad apple (lf we're being honest, its actually MOST kids unfortunately) that ruin it for the rest of you. If your child is even remotely disruptive, please leave them home.
Re the restaurant, the food portions are tiny, yes, but they're inexpensive enough that you cam try a bunch of different things and not blow your budget. That's the point, its more along the lines of tappas than traditional food menus. Beer is great, and best of all, the service is friendly! Will return.
After recommending me a beer, the server failed to mention the fact that it was a much higher percentage, (also a 1/2 pt due to the higher % alcohol.)I honestly just wanted a regular pint of beer...
or two, so.. that kinda ruined it for me.
We ended up ordering the peanuts and some kind of salami to graze on.. and what they brought us seemed like a joke....
I was completely shocked when the bill came to around $35 plus tip. It seems completely unreasonable to me, and although its a lovely establishment, i definitely don't think i'll be back.
Back in the day, when smoking was allowed in restaurants, you you were asked, smoking or non, my response.. no kids! just saying!
1) Blogto readers are cheap
2) People like large portions
3) People fail to realize the a 9% should be served 12oz at a time
Still love the Bellwoods
(it was super long) so I guess I'll just sum it up what I had written and say, I'm
thoroughly enjoying your blog. I too am an aspiring blog writer but I'm still new to the whole thing. Do you have any suggestions for novice blog writers? I'd genuinely appreciate it.
I used to steer clear of the glaringly small-portioned, expensive food; recent menu changes and portion sizes look better, and I want to try the great-smelling braised beef short ribs next time. Though if you depend on a full belly to drink, why depend on them - you can arrive already fed sand then focus on ordering beer (and clamouring for coveted seating space.)
See my full experience on my blog.
Thanks to your sheer lack of people skills, we walked into Nazare for the first time, and were delighted by the warmth of the people there, and an owner who truly cares about his patrons..a place with some soul. You should take a lesson from that guy.
I can handle a fair degree of poor/inadequate service (I'll even usually tip, albeit perhaps less than 15% if I am very unimpressed). But our Bellwoods server went beyond the pale, so much so that I refuse to go back (and FWIW I think they have an excellent beer selection and good food). My friend asked a neighbouring table of patrons for their uneaten plate of olives, and despite them being unperturbed by his request (although I probably would not have asked), the server launched into an invective on why my friend's conduct was rude and unacceptable.
First time I have refused to pay tip...well to be strictly honest I gave a penny as an insult - justifies keeping a few of them around still lol.

JACKSON – Nearly 650 Farm Bureau members, representing the state's
82 county Farm Bureaus, took part in the three-day meeting where, in addition
to the election of officers and directors, the delegates adopted policy
to guide the organization's efforts during 2013. Policies relating
to national issues will be forwarded to the American Farm Bureau Federation
for consideration at its annual meeting, which is scheduled for Nashville,
TN, in mid-January.
Randy Knight, a dairy farmer from Pelahatchie, Mississippi, was re-elected
to his second term as President of the Mississippi Farm Bureau Federation.
Donald Gant from Merigold was re-elected as Vice President-North Mississippi;
Ted Kendall from Bolton was re-elected as Vice President-Central Mississippi;
and Reggie Magee from Mt. Olive was re-elected as Vice President-South
The delegate body identified several areas of interest as priority issues
for the upcoming year including protecting animal husbandry practices
based on sound science, protecting landowners from trespassers'
lawsuits, and supporting adequate funding for animal health issues.
Governor Phil Bryant gave the keynote address to the assembled delegates.
He thanked Farm Bureau for their work in the Legislature and emphasized
the importance of agriculture to Mississippi. "I was very proud
to see that the agriculture industry in Mississippi is responsible for
$7.2 billion worth of income," said Bryant. "The agriculture
industry in this state adds so many jobs – about 29 percent, think
about that. Nearly 30 percent of the state's workforce is directly
or indirectly involved in agriculture."
Newly elected or re-elected directors on the MFBF Board include Lowell
Hinton, Corinth; Chris Lively, Clarksdale; Kelcey Shields, Mantachie;
Kenny King, Ackerman; Jimmy Whitaker, Satartia; Oliver Limerick, Shuqualak;
Vander Walley, Waynesboro; David Barton, Raymond; Mike McCormick, Union
Church; Larry Jefcoat, Soso; and Louis Breaux, IV, Kiln. Jon Koehler Bibb
of Tunica will sit on the Board due to his election as Young Farmer &
Rancher Committee chairman.
Scott Cannada was selected as Farm Bureau's Young Farmer Achievement
Award winner and will travel to Nashville to represent Mississippi in
the National Young Farmer Achievement Award competition. William and Julie
White of Starkville were selected as the Young Farmers and Ranchers Excellence
in Agriculture award winners. Cory Williamson of Water Valley won the
Young Farmer Discussion Meet, an event that challenges contestants'
discussion skills and their ability to persuade others to see their side
of an issue. He will also compete in the national competition in Nashville
in January.
Farm Bureau's highest award, the MFBF Distinguished Service Award,
was presented to Louis Breaux of Kiln. Mr. Breaux has worked closely with
Farm Bureau for more than half a century in various county and state positions.
He is currently an Honorary Vice President on the Mississippi Farm Bureau
Board of Directors.
There were two recipients of the Friend of Agriculture Award. Senator
Billy Hudson of Hattiesburg and Representative Preston Sullivan of Okalona
received the award for their support of agriculture and Farm Bureau in
the Mississippi Legislature.
The Excellence in Leadership Award went to Jan Holley of Itawamba County
for her many years of dedicated service to agriculture in Mississippi.
Paul Ott of Summit was given the Ag Ambassador Award for his work in promoting
agriculture and Mississippi.
Molly Martin of Simpson County won the Farm Bureau Ambassador competition
sponsored by the Women's Program. Molly will be a spokesperson for
Farm Bureau and agriculture during 2013.
The Mississippi
Farm Bureau Federation is the state's largest general farm
organization with more than 197,000 member-families statewide. There
are Farm Bureaus in all 82 counties in Mississippi
where agriculture comprises a fundamental part of
Mississippi 's economy.
Headquartered in Jackson
, the federation is an independent, non-profit agricultural
organization and is not associated with any arm of the government.

Two of country music's biggest superstars have topped Billboard's annual Top 40 Money Makers list. Taylor Swift takes the crown as the highest, earning $39,699,575.60 in 2013 while Kenny Chesney comes in at No. 2, racking up $32,956,240.70 last year. Billboard used data supplied by Nielsen SoundScan to calculate earnings from touring, recorded-music sales, publishing royalties and revenue from digital music and video streaming.
While Taylor can report strong earnings on everything from music sales to branding and sponsorship, touring was where she padded her bank account last year. The North American leg of her international Red Tour made an estimated $30 million, not counting integrated sponsorships and retail booth revenue which is estimated to have brought in an additional $10 million gross.
Kenny's earnings in 2013 also came largely from touring with his 2013 No Shoes Nation Tour bringing in an estimated total gross of $90 million. His Life On A Rock album also produced solid revenue numbers. Luke Bryan also made the Top 10, coming in at No. 8 on strong album and single sales as well as earning $15.4 million from touring.
Other country stars to make the list include Jason Aldean at No. 14, George Strait at No. 15, Blake Shelton at No. 27, Zac Brown Band at No. 30, Rascal Flatts at No. 34, Miranda Lambert at No. 36, Tim McGraw at No. 38 and Carrie Underwood at No. 40.

It normally depends on the kind of resources you have available to you and your amount of control over your DNS and firewall.
With the Messaging Gateway, a separate appliance is required. You can either purchase the hardware from us or deploy it as a virtual machine in your VMware environment. You then also have to point to the Messaging Gateway through your MX record so incoming email gets sent to the Messaging Gateway.
With Mail Security for Exchange, we would need to be installed on each Exchange server that receives mail from the internet in order to block spam. Also, if you Exchange server is already taking a heavy load, Mail Security for Exchange can have resource issues.

More money may be found for advice services in Bath
Posted: January 28, 2014|
More money may be found to soften the blow of cuts to the budget for advice services in Bath.
Plans by Bath and North East Somerset Council to reduce its funding for the provision of consumer, legal and financial advice by £225,000 provoked a storm of protest late last year.
The Liberal Democrat-run authority put the plan on hold while it developed a framework for advice services, but has now hinted that the cuts may not be as dramatic.
The authority's contract with the Citizen's Advice Bureau is coming to an end and it wants to target help to the most vulnerable families, saying that funding a universal service is no longer necessary when so many other sources of help exist.
Related content
Now the council is planning to put an extra £107,000 into the budget, although this will not be confirmed until meetings next month.
The authority - which has collected more council tax than it expected, and found government grant cuts less severe than predicted - is also finding extra money to sweeten the pill of its controversial cuts to children's centres.
The extra advice money would mean a cut of only £118,000 to the existing annual contract of £408,000.
Cabinet member for wellbeing Councillor Simon Allen (Lib Dem, Radstock), said: "Following the recent consultation and through good stewardship of public finances I am pleased the cabinet will be recommending in their budget proposals that a further £107,000 be allocated to advice and information services currently provided by the Citizen Advice Bureau. Subject to tendering process, a new contract will be awarded for five years, providing security and financial stability for the successful organisation."
B&NES CAB chair Richard Samuel said the new level of reduction was "as reasonable as anybody can expect" at a time of public sector funding crisis.
"The accommodation we have come to with the council reflects partly the level of support we have managed to demonstrate and also the fact that the council has been prepared to listen.
"I welcome that. There has been a real willingness to listen."
The CAB is expecting the detail of the council's new advice service specification to emerge in the next few months.
Conservative shadow wellbeing spokesman, Councillor Vic Pritchard said: "This climbdown by B&NES will come as a relief to everyone who values the work of the Citizen's Advice Bureau, which does a tremendous job of providing advice services to local residents of all backgrounds in need of help and support. However, this is only a partial victory as B&NES is still proposing a significant funding cut of nearly 30 per cent. We will therefore need to look at the revised plans carefully before deciding whether the council has gone far enough to properly protect this important service.
"The campaigners fighting to defend our local CAB should be thanked for their tremendous efforts. I'm just pleased that Conservative councillors have been able to play a part in forcing B&NES to reconsider its plans.
"It's just a real shame it has taken such huge public pressure to make the Lib Dems listen to our concerns and understand the impact their plans would have.
"The council completely mishandled the tendering of its advice service contract from the start, embarking upon it with no strategy in place and no clear idea of what service it wanted delivered."

Sales rise as profits drop in Europe LONDON — Automakers in Europe are seeing lackluster first-half profits despite a 7.7% increase in car sales, due to competitive price reductions and incentives. Vehicle prices have been slashed by as much as 2.5%, some analysts say. DaimlerChrysler AG's second quarter profits fell 0.3%, blamed on high incentives in the U.S. and the investment to relaunch the Smart Car (see p.1).

|The Andros Barrier Reef
The fringing-barrier reef lying to the east coast of Andros Island in the Bahamas represents the second largest reef complex in the western North Atlantic and is one of the most remote. The system extends for a distance of approximately 200 km (124 miles) from the Joulter Cays in the north to South Cay in the south. Based on the distribution, development, and architecture of reef communities within the vicinity of a mile off the coast, the reef may be divided into five major zones; the lagoon (including mangrove areas), back reef, reef crest, inner fore reef, and outer fore reef.
There are over One Hundred and Sixty-Four species of fish and coral that make up the coral reef community. These species are found in various densities along the reef.
The Andros Barrier Reef slopes down a vertical cliff that begins 20 m below the surface and then drops off to over 2000 m or 6,000 feet into a deep ocean trench called the Tongue of the Ocean. This vertical cliff or wall is facing the East and has great sun light penetration allowing for a vast amount of life to flourish along the wall. It also provides one of the most spectacular scuba diving experiences in the region.
The Andros Barrier Reef is famous for its deep water sponges and large schools of Red Snappers. It is the only place in the world where there is more than one Nassau Grouper Aggregation.
The Andros Barrier Reef segment is used as an example of the most perfect Atlantic Coral reef structure on display at the New York Natural History Museum.
Note: The Andros reef complex is not a true barrier reef system in the strict sense because of the relatively shallow depth of the lagoon and close proximity of the reef crest to the shoreline. It is also not a true fringing reef since it is not set directly against the shoreline. Hence, it is regarded as a hybrid in reef classification.

April showers are slowly but surely giving way to summer breezes, marking the passing of time. Once again, it's time to introduce you to -- or remind you about -- some killer new country releases. As usual, it's a wildly diverse bunch.
Leading the way is Lionel Richie's chart-topping Tuskegee, which features duets from some of country's biggest hit-makers, including Blake Shelton, Jason Aldean and Rascal Flatts. According to Billboard, only Mr. Richie and the über-cool Ray Charles have managed to top both the R&B and country charts during their careers. Impressive, no? And since we've mentioned Rascal Flatts, let's point out that their new album, Changed, is also in the mix here, as is the dark and fabulously creepy soundtrack to The Hunger Games.
Beyond that, we have bluegrass, alt country, singer-songwriters and Americana artists vying for your attention -- something here is bound to catch your fancy.

Money Issues Leading Cause of Holiday Stress for Americans
WASHINGTON -- What causes the most stress during the holiday season? Money issues were the top vote getters for holiday stress, according to a recent poll by the American Psychological Association (APA).
The Survey found that 61% of Americans listed lack of money as the top cause of holiday stress followed by the pressures of gift giving, lack of time, and credit card debt. Survey results also show that younger Americans are more worried about lack of money and gift giving compared to people over the age of 35.
One in five Americans are worried that holiday stress could affect their physical health and 36% say they either eat or drink alcohol to cope with holiday stress. Forty-five percent say they rely on exercise to relieve stress while 44% turn to religious and spiritual activities. A small number turn to massage and yoga.
"People tend to reduce stress in ways they have learned over the course of time because they turn to what they know," says Russ Newman, Ph.D., J.D., APA executive director for professional practice. "Ironically, they may take comfort from eating or drinking because it's familiar, even though it's not good for their health. But, there are other behaviors people can learn to further relieve stress and the its effects that may be both better for them and longer lasting."
Newman recommends the following tips to help deal with holiday stressors and to build resilience:
Make connections. Good relationships with family and friends are important. So, view the holidays as a time to reconnect with people. Additionally, accepting help and support from those who care about you can help alleviate stress.
Set realistic goals. Taking small concrete steps to deal with holiday tasks instead of overwhelming yourself with goals that are too far reaching for a busy time.
Keep things in perspective. Try to consider stressful situations in a broader context and keep a long-term perspective. Avoid blowing events out of proportion.
Take decisive actions. Instead of letting holiday stressors get the best of you, make a decision to address the underlying cause of a stressful situation.
Take care of yourself. Pay attention to your own needs and feelings during the holiday season. Engage in activities that you enjoy and find relaxing. Taking care of yourself helps keep your mind and body primed to deal with stressful situations.

Head Rush Ajaxby Brett D Mclaughlin
Out of Print
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Sick of creating web sites that reload every time a user moves the mouse? Tired of servers that wait around to respond to users' requests for movie tickets? It sounds like you need a little (or maybe a lot of) Ajax in your life. Asynchronous programming lets you turn your own websites into smooth, slick, responsive applications that make your users feel like they're back on the information superhighway, not stuck on a dial-up backroad.
But who wants to take on next-generation web programming with the last generation's instruction book? You need a learning experience that's as compelling and cutting-edge as the sites you want to design. That's where we come in. With Head Rush Ajax, in no time you'll be writing JavaScript code that fires off asynchronous requests to web servers...and having fun doing it. By the time you've taken your dynamic HTML, XML, JSON,
and DOM skills up a few notches, you'll have solved tons of puzzles, figured out how well snowboards sell in Vail, and even watched a boxing match. Sound interesting? Then what are you waiting for? Pick up Head Rush Ajax and learn Ajax and asynchronous programming the right way — the way that sticks.
If you've ever read a Head First book, you know what to expect: a visually rich format designed for the way your brain works. Head Rush ramps up the intensity with an even faster look and feel. Have your first working app before you finish Chapter 1, meet up with the nefarious PROJECT: CHAOS stealth team, and even settle the question of the Top 5 Blues CDs of all time. Leave boring, clunky websites behind with 8-tracks and hot pants — and get going with next-generation web programming.
Book News Annotation:
This isn't a reference book on using JavaScript code to create asynchronous programming, it's a learning experience! The book's unique visual format and informal style are designed to keep readers emotionally engaged and stimulate deeper thinking with humor, unexpected surprises, challenging exercises, and activities that involve both sides of the brain and all the senses. Concepts are presented in several different ways for different learning styles, and every concept is illustrated with b&w photos and graphics, many of people, because the brain pays more attention to pictures of people than it does to things. So what does it look like? Imagine a scrapbook inspired by Roy Lichtenstein, or maybe class notes scribbled by Andy Warhol. The book does not spend much time explaining the server-side programs used in the book. Readers should be familiar with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code. McLaughlin has written other books on programming. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
Taking the reader beyond basic Web development with DHTML and JavaScript, "Head Rush Ajax" explains how asynchronous data requests and powerful event models can be used in the Ajax methodology. Written by a team of award-winning authors, the book includes hands-on activities and interactive content.

In the wake of the horrific Sandy Hook school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, the contentious debate over gun control has been reignited, spurring new policy proposals by lawmakers and mobilizing gun-rights advocates. While the National Rifle Association (NRA) has remained quiet in the aftermath of the shooting, the organization has registered some 8,000 new members per day since the harrowing tragedy.
In addition to an explosion of membership requests, an NRA source told Fox News that individual contributions to the organization have also spiked, according to an internal memo contrived by the group's membership division. "While this broadly aligns with trends seen after similar incidents in the past, the surge in membership this time is said to dwarf past trends," Fox reports.
Along with noticeable increases in NRA memberships, firearm sales also have experienced a sharp boost in the wake of last Friday's massacre, which left 26 people dead, including 20 children between the ages of six and seven. This side effect is reportedly spawned by political debates over tightened regulations on the nearly $32-billion gun industry.
Simultaneously, the "Sandy Hook Effect" has left several gun manufacturers with notable reductions in their shares. Smith & Wesson's stock plunged eight percent from Friday to Monday, and on Tuesday the stock tumbled an additional 10 percent. Additionally, Sturm Ruger & Company's shares plummeted by almost eight percent, after losing about nine percent of its value since the shooting.
In states such as Texas, Ohio, Oregon, and Colorado, reports have indicated a significant boost in gun purchases occurring immediately after the shooting, also creating a "national shortage" of weapons and ammunition, according to one Texas gun shop owner. "All of our suppliers are almost sold out of items across the board," he said, adding that he projects his gun sales to boost anywhere between 200 and 400 percent. "At a minimum we'll double our sales from last year," he noted.

Vatican denounces 'manipulative' use of Pope's image in Benetton ad campaign
Catholic World News - November 16, 2011
The Vatican has lodged a protest against a new Benetton ad campaign that features a doctored photo of Pope Benedict XVI kissing an Egyptian Islamic leader.
Benetton—a company with a history of provocative ads—has launched a new campaign with the slogan "unhate." The campaign features images of various world leaders locked in romantic embraces with their rivals. Pope Benedict and Sheik Ahmad al Tayyib form one of the couples; others include Barack Obama and Hugo Chavez; Nicolas Sarkozy and Angela Merkel.
Sheik al Tayyib is the head of the Al Azhar University in Cairo: the world's leading institution of Sunni Islamic thought. The Al Azhar mosque had been a partner in dialogue for the Vatican until this year, when the Egyptian institution broke off all talks with the Holy See, claiming that Pope Benedict had insulted Egypt by insisting that the nation's Christian minority deserves protection. An oversized poster of the photo showing the Pope and the Egyptian sheik was draped over a bridge across the Tiber River near the Vatican until officials removed it.
Father Federico Lombardi, the director of the Vatican press office, complained that the retouched photo was "manipulated and instrumentalized" for the ad campaign. This "completely unacceptable" use of the Pope's image showed a "grave lack of respect," he said. Father Lombardi hinted that the Vatican might consider legal action.
Benetton responded quickly to the protests with an announcement that it was pulling the image of the Pope from the "unhate" campaign.

Planned to fit into an 8.3-acre triangular wedge of land next to the Onetta Harris Community Center in the city's Belle Haven neighborhood, the new complex includes a synthetic turf field encircled by a rubber track, two tennis courts, a basketball court, parking lot, lights, and restrooms.
Mayor Rich Cline said groundbreaking should start July 20. The idea of renovating Kelly Park first surfaced about seven years ago. "Field use has always been a problem," he said. "I feel like I've been talking about this forever."
He said the new design emerged through community input. The Belle Haven Homeowners Association suggested adding the track, according to the mayor.
The original park, built in 2001 for about $1 million, has an undersized basketball court and soccer field that, along with poor drainage and short fencing bordering the baseball diamond and U.S. 101, led to underuse.
Matt Oscamou, the city's senior civil engineer, said the city is in the process of signing contracts. The city awarded the $2.8 million construction contract to the Oakland-based firm O.C. Jones & Sons Inc. The city estimates the total cost of the complex at $3.4 million, less than the $4.4 million earmarked for the project: $3 million in redevelopment funds and $1.4 million from the recreation-in-lieu fund.
If construction starts on time, the project should be completed by spring.
Scheduling practices and games during the wait will be tricky. Hillview, Oak Knoll, and Kelly Park will all be closed for renovation for the next 18 to 24 months, leaving local sports leagues short on space, according to Jeanine Morgan, spokesperson for the MP Strikers Soccer Club.
"There is light at the end of the tunnel once these fields have been renovated," she said. "We are trying to work closely with private organizations and local high schools to find space for our teams that will be displaced. We hope that everyone in the community will cooperate during this time."

Motivating by either a renewed hope for peace in the Middle East or a desire for political power, Israel's Labor Party has threatened to walk out of the country's coalition government unless serious negotiations between Palestinians and Israelis get under way in the coming weeks. —JCL
The Guardian:
Israel's Labor party will walk out of the rightwing-dominated coalition government unless serious negotiations with the Palestinians get under way in the coming weeks, according to cabinet minister Avishay Braverman, an expected challenger to Ehud Barak for his party's leadership.
"We need to move as soon as possible. The only way to guarantee the state of the Jewish people is to move boldly after the US election," Braverman, the minister for minorities, said in an interview.
If Israeli prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu missed the opportunity, "Labor will not be in the coalition government. If there are the beginnings of serious negotiations, Labor stays; if not, Labor leaves."

However, schools have unique factors that influence the quality of implementation of interventions. Three papers are presented with a focus on factors associated with implementation of EBPs across elementary, middle, and high school contexts. The goal of this symposium is to share lessons learned, ways to align implementation of EBPs with existing resources, and considerations about the infrastructure needed to launch and sustain comprehensive service models.Speaker(s): Wendy M.
