So how deep did they drill at Eniwetok? From the top of the reef, they
drilled through 4,610 feet of coral before reaching the volcanic sea mount
at the bottom. If the coral started growing at the day of creation and
forged ahead nonstop, for it to reach almost a mile in height would take
165,960 years! But how old is the volcano it rests on? Plus, there were
times in the past when the coral was above water as evidenced by
concentrations of pollen in the zones of 2,440 feet to 2,510, 820 to 880
feet and 670 to 680 feet. How long did Eniwetok tarry above sea level at
least three times before it again was submerged and could start growing
again? How many times was the coral too deep to grow? etc.
Ariel Roth , who spent his professional career studying coral reef growth
has written the following:
On a quiet moonlit night in the year 1890 the British-Indian liner Quetta
through the Torres Strait near Thursday Island, north of Australia. Located at
the northern end of the Great Barrier Reef, it is the world's most widespread
coral reef complex. The ship suddenly hit a reef pinnacle that ripped through
most of its hull, and sank within three minutes. Nearly half of the ship's 293
passengers perished. The strait had been carefully charted between 1802 and
1860, and the crew expected no reef where the ship foundered. Some have
wondered if possibly a coral reef could have grown rapidly enough between the
time of sounding and 1890 to cause the tragedy.1
Coral reefs result from the activity of a variety of organisms that remove
(calcium carbonate) dissolved in seawater and slowly create the largest
structures on earth made by living organisms. Mollusks, foraminifera, and
can provide substantial amounts of minerals for reef growth. However,
consider coral and coralline algae to be the most important contributors.
The rate of coral reef growth is of considerable interest not only because
are potential navigational hazards but also because of questions about the
of time required to build them. Some wonder whether such huge structures could
form in a few thousand years, as implied by the biblical model.
The enormous Great Barrier Reef of Australia does not appear to pose a very
serious time problem for Scripture. While it is more than 2,000 kilometers
and up to 320 kilometers offshore, drilling operations down through the
reef have
encountered quartz sand (a nonreef type of sediment) at less than 250 meters2
indicating that it is a shallow structure not requiring a vast amount of
time for
development. On the other hand, drilling operations on Enewetak (Eniwetok)
in the Western Pacific have penetrated 1,405 meters of apparent reef material
before reaching a volcanic (basalt) rock base.3 The rates of growth assumed by
most investigators would dictate that it would take at least scores of
to hundreds of thousands of years to form a reef this thick. Criticizing
the biblical
model, one author points out that the Eniwetok reef would have to grow at the
rate of 140 millimeters per year to have formed in less than 10,000 years. He
states: "Such rates have been shown to be quite impossible."4
Researchers face many problems in determining how rapidly reefs grow. The fact
that some estimates are more than 500 times faster than others (Table 1)
indicates that we know extremely little about such complex and delicate
ecological systems. The sparse distribution of coral in some studies
reflects less-
than-ideal reef conditions. The best growth rates seem to take place a little
below the surface of the ocean.5 Reefs cannot grow above sea level, and re-
searchers sometimes use ancient reef surfaces to determine past sea levels.
Since sea level limits the growth of reefs, estimates of growth near the
of the ocean may be strongly influenced by growth-limiting circumstances. Low
tides can kill the reef-forming coral by exposing them too long to the air.
and pollution from land can also be detrimental. Furthermore, a number of
present-day reefs are now dying or dead.6 Less-polluted conditions when earth
was not so populated could have favored more rapid growth of the delicate
organisms that build reefs.
One must also remember that coral reef growth ceases below a certain depth
because of lack of light. Therefore, scientists assume that the volcanic
base of
Eniwetok Atoll, now 1,405 meters below sea level, would have been near sea
when coral growth began on its surface. The base gradually sub- sided, and
growth kept up with this.
Some of my graduate students and I have studied reef-building organisms of
Eniwetok and several other reef localities to determine how various
factors affect growth. A moderate rise in temperature of a few degrees favors
more rapid growth, while ultraviolet light at the ocean surface inhibits
These and other factors can significantly affect rates of reef growth. While
some of the hard "brain"-shaped coral and coralline algae grow slowly, the
branching forms develop rapidly. A dense concentration of healthy
branching coral growing at optimal rates (second part of Table 1) could create
rapid reef growth. Many corals frequently form branches above each other,
compounding production rates. The potential is impressive, 10 branches each
growing at the rate of 100 millimeters per year and subdividing into three
branches each year would result in a total of 59 kilometers of single
branches in
10 years.8
A number of investigators have studied rates of coral and coral reef growth.
Some estimates appear in Table 1. The top section, entitled "Rates of Reef
Growth," derives from observations of reefs as a whole, while the section
entitled "Maximum Rate of Coral Reef Frame Builders" represents the fastest
rate of growth of those corals that could provide a physical framework for the
reef. This framework would also offer protection for other smaller
organisms as well as serving for the entrapment of water-transported
sediments. Note that the fastest rates for reefs9 and for framebuilders10 do
allow for the growth of the Eniwetok reef, which has a thickness of 1,405
in less than 3,400 years. These fastest rates for reefs are based on
which are the most direct and simple measurements and are probably more
reliable than the less-direct methods that give slower growth rates. Such data
indicate that the rate of coral reef growth does not present as great a
to the biblical concept of creation a few thousand years ago as is sometimes

SEO – Seach Engine Optimization
Photosource : 3
For today I will write about one of the most important elements of Internet Marketing. Our topic for today is overview about SEO- Search Engine Optimization. Today blog's post will include basic information about this tool, also about advantages and disadvantages, and how it can be helpful in online business.
We can start with definition of SEO- Search Engine Optimization is a process to help the website be more visible when the customers searches by searching engines and increase the popularity and visibility of the website in search results. As we know mostly of people searching on the searching engines focus only on few first results, that means if your website is not in the top ten of the searching results list your website maybe cannot be seen by people and that means losing potential customer and losing profits for online business.
The SEO- Search Engines Optimization helps the online businesses know about what customers looking for or the most searching words or topic and according these results the website can improve to be more suitable with customer's needs for example : improve the website 's contents, update more and more new information, which customer searches the most etc.
One of the key for searching is keywords. Key words are the important words related with the content or the topic, what customers are looking for. Thank these key words the website can be found and seen by people. More keywords your website contains more chance the website can get the attention from researches – potential customers for business. The SEO helps company to find out and focus on targeted customer, who searches for specific services related with company' s business.
The benefit of SEO is help the website to be more traffic and increases numbers of attendance by researches. That will help to build the trust to customers that the website is very reliable and trusted and increase the confidence of customers doing business with the company – increasing profits for company. With SEO you do not have to invest so much money to get your business website more traffic, that means you spent just a little of money , but you will get big long- term good result for business.
In my opinion the disadvantage by using SEO could be surprising the keyword, because to keep the website be traffic the owner of website have to update and editing more and more new keywords according customers need and it is very difficult. The second problem is SEO is profitable only for long term plan and you cannot expect immediately profits with this tool.
To get more information about this topic and some tips about SEO I can recommend these two websites: SEO worker and SEO- news.

Skyscanner, a result of CEO and co-founder Gareth Williams' frustration with finding cheap flights, enables customers to compare prices from completely different travel sites when trying to find flights, lodges, and rental automobiles.
Hi Abby, it'll take a couple of week to 10 days for your a Red Membership to be processed and sent out. At the second, it's going to value £36 to buy one. Unfortunately the one house video games throughout mid February to early March are Tottenham and Milan, and they're each already bought out. It's attainable that there might be an game, however it depends upon the end result towards Villa. If you purchase a Red Membership then I suppose you'd get a ticket for Tottenham by way of the ticket alternate, and it will price from about £fifty five upwards plus the £36 membership, depending upon the worth of the ticket which grew to become obtainable.
Chile prices $1 per ticket as their levy, whereas Brazil prices $2 for international flights, he stated. French passengers pay one euro for domestic and four euros for international tickets. Hi Max, sure, holding checking the positioning recurrently, and extra tickets will become accessible on the Exchange. Yesterday (Sunday) there were none, but just a few appeared right this moment, although these have now gone. Just preserve checking, there will likely be more accessible between now and the game. Let me know if you're successful.
Abdy, there shall be plenty of tickets available now. To be trustworthy, because of the design of the stadium all seats are good. The tickets will range from £50 to £a hundred. Just flip up at the stadium and you will have no downside obtaining one from outside the box office. For anyone with a Red Membership, the are numerous tickets obtainable for £51 on the ticket change.
Yes you need to be a Red Member to buy a ticket on the ticket change on Arsenal's web site. It's the general follow that if somebody lends you a membership card then you definitely give them a £20 deposit, which they may return to you once they get their card back. To be honest, I would not trust any of the sites that sell tickets in the mean time. I have heard too many bad stories.

The Sydney Morning Herald Reviews Police At The Station
Checking in on the progress of Detective Inspector Sean Duffy of the Carrick Royal Ulster Constabulary in the 1980s is always such a delight. Duffy is one of those smart-mouthed rogue policemen we have learned to love precisely because he has no respect for authority, a ferocious intelligence, and enough bad habits to endear him to every sinner.
But Duffy's trying hard to break the bad habits now there is so much more at stake. Girlfriend Beth has moved in, baby Emma has arrived, and the need to check under the BMW in the event of a mercury tilt bomb has never been more pressing. Duffy's also been diagnosed with asthma and various other dependency issues.
Police at the station etc. opens in medias res as Duffy is lead through a dark wood to the place of his intended death by a posse of hapless and incompetent executioners. Facing impending doom, he regretfully considers his legacy, "Over the last 15 years I've done my best to fight entropy and carve out a little local order in a sea of chaos. I have failed. He has failed and "made one mistake too many." He's also forgotten his asthma inhaler, although looking on the bright side, as Duffy is inclined to do, "a bullet in the head will fix an incipient asthma attack every time".
He may be up against it, but Duffy's sense of humour is as mordant as ever. Hang in for much caustic wit, funny observations, exciting twists, trenchant political commentary, and a splendid conclusion

Heavy rains brought flooding and erosion in Mariposa County on Tuesday. Crews spent Wednesday working to redirect flood waters and identify a breach in the wastewater treatment system.
On Tuesday, a problem with a culvert caused runoff to be diverted out of the Mariposa Creek watershed and through the 49er Shopping Center.
With a break in the weather, Randy Foley is taking advantage. He's offloading a bobcat from a flatbed truck in the 49er Center's parking lot as water from the watershed continued to race under the truck's wheels.
"We gotta go break some concrete out and get it so if it rains again, the water will drain," Foley says.
Sandbags and gravity kept most of the shops dry, with the exception of an auto shop that had water running through both sides and around a concrete floor that bubbled up and is now two feet higher than it was.
Nearby, you could smell sewage as the Mariposa Public Utility District searched for a hole in one of its pipes. The district's Mark Rowney says the system is taking on water.
"It's just overloading our sewer plant. We're just trying to find where the water's getting into our sewer main. This is private property and stuff. But, we got to find that where the water's getting in and then we're gonna be cutting it off."
The waters of Mariposa Creek have receded somewhat. Alicia Rodriguez is with the Mariposa County Arts Council. Its gallery overlooks the creek, which she says was roaring.
"This building right here, the little potting shed. I was walking in four inches of water right there. So, we had to clear it out. It was crazy."
The National Weather Service says parts of Mariposa received 4 inches of rain in a 24-hour period and more is on the way. A flood watch is in effect for Thursday tonight into Friday night.

The 2014 Vintage is in full swing! We have nearly 100% budbreak, some shoots are as long as 6" after a warm weekend, and we are spraying copper sulfate tonight to reduce the incidence of frost damage if we get some cold nights in the next few months.
The copper will also knock down sores of rot and mildew, so it serves a double purpose. The clean vineyard floor allows the cold air to run downhill like water so only the lowest sections of elevation in the vineyard are in danger of freezing. In those low spaces we have sprinklers and fans, so we are 'safe' to about 29 degrees.
Hope you enjoy, and please feel free to send me questions to answer next week: firstname.lastname@example.com, or text them to me at 805-886-0325!

This whole moment in time seems very surreal. The Last Day of School.
The first day of school is still fresh in my mind, with the terror and the wondering how I would make it through the year, yet here we are. It seems like so little time has passed, probably because the beginning and ending are so clearly demarcated in time, but I suppose a lot has happened. I've moved from being nervous and sweaty to confident and apathetic. I know I can do this now. I also know I don't want to do this for a living.
I left the school positively giddy. My last day of teaching is over! Tomorrow is just supervising yearbook signing for the sixth graders! I'll likely never see any of the ninth graders ever again! Sure, I still will have to go to work Friday and Monday to close up shop, but no more students!
During my afternoon bike ride, however, I found myself not being able to breathe quite right and being (quite irrationally) annoyed at R because he could ride faster than I could. I wasn't really mad at him, but my throat was feeling all tight and painful, as were my tear ducts...
Yes, apparently I was more affected by the end of school than I had initially realized. A few of my students really were quite interesting people, and when you spend every day with a group of people for nine months it is somewhat natural to get attached. I think a few of them are even going to miss me too. I had several conversations along the lines of:
"Bye! See you next year!"
"Uh, no you won't. I'm moving. It's been fun. Have a nice life."
"Oh no!"
At which point in time I received several hugs. Somehow, though, I don't think they'll miss me quite as much as I'll miss them. I suppose this is what keeps people in teaching.
Still don't want to do it again, though.

Sudan: Uranium in Darfur? - Iran 'could share nuclear skills'
Khamenei has said his country is ready to share its nuclear technology with other nations, BBC reported today - excerpt:
Ayatollah Khamenei made the offer during a meeting with visiting Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir.
In his meeting with Mr Bashir, Ayatollah Khamenei said Iranian scientists' nuclear capability was "one example of the numerous scientific movements in the country".
"The Islamic Republic is ready to transfer this experience and the technology and knowledge of its scientists," the leader was quoted as saying.
In return, the Sudanese president praised Iran's enrichment of uranium as a great victory for the Islamic world.
Mr Bashir said last month his country was considering creating a civilian nuclear programme.

Yahoo! Connected TV watches with you, delivers a more personal ad experience
For a medium heavily ridiculed for its zombie-making capabilities, television is certainly taking on more of an active role courtesy of Yahoo! Connected TV. Coming later this year to select Sony and Toshiba models, the interactive software that's already in eight million homes gains two new features destined to either creep you out, or snag you a twofer on those wings -- broadcast interactivity, and device control. While the latter enhancement merely transforms your smartphone or tablet into an extended remote, it's the former that'll turn your TV choices into a game of peeping Tom, delivering ads custom-fit for you. But the old, yodeling tech giant's not stopping there -- the company also plans to trot out an app store by the years' end, which is currently in pilot testing with Ford and HSN (among others). If widget-based ads are your thing, you might want to hold off until the big manufacturer roll-out next year, or you could always consider that Google option. Brain-rot, please meet the tech loop.

The Extent of Mauryan Chandragupta's Empire
Jain Svetambara Tirthankara in Meditation Seated
king Chandragupta
He spent his last days in religious meditation and ended his life by fasting unto death
The rise of territorial monarchies was the most important features of the political life of the Later Vedic Period. By the 6th century BC., were sixteen major territorial states in northern India. They have been described as Mahajanapadas or `great states' in the Buddhist and Jain literature. The majority of them were hereditary monarchies, the rest were tribal republics. Besides the great states, there were a large number of smaller monarchies and republics dotting the landscape of northern India. The rulers of the larger states were becoming ambitious. They had started the process of building large territorial empires by conquering other states.
The large states of Avanti (in western Madhya Pradesh), Vatsa (in southern – eastern Uttar Pradesh) and Magadha) in south Bihar) were the principal. Rivals in the struggle for imperial supremacy.
Extent of Chandragupta's empire
References in ancient Pali and Tamil literature and locations of the inscription of his grandson Ashoka prove that the empire of Chandragupta extended from the Himalayas foothills in the north to central Karnataka in the south and from the Arabian Sea in the west to the Bay of Bengal in the east. Thus, for the first time in the history of the country a pan – Indian empire was created. It brought the distant regions of the country under one political system. Central control of the empire introduced a uniform system of administration throughout its length and breadth. As Ashoka's inscriptions show, a common language was used for the administration in all its provinces. Such a practice would have greatly facilitated communication between different regions of the country and strengthened political and cultural unification.
End of Chandragupta's Reign
Chandragupta ruled for a period of twenty – four years. According to a Jain tradition, he then handed over his kingdom to his son Bindusara and retired to Shravanabelagola, a famous pilgrimage centre in Karnataka, along with his spiritual teacher Bhadrabahu who was a Jain monk. There he spent his last days in religious meditation and ended his life by fasting unto death which is considered the ideal way to die for Jain ascetics.
Ashoka's Inclination to Peace
asoka was the third ruler
Kunala (Kunal) – Son of Ashoka
Causes of the Downfall of the Mauryan empire
Ashoka's high ethical outlook gave him a new conception of royal duties. He set before himself the loftiest idea that ever inspired a king. In one of his edicts he says, `my country people are my children. Every kind of welfare and happiness both in this and the next world, so do I desire for all men.'. Thus Ashoka's ideal of kingship was based on the welfare of his subjects in the widest sense of the term, embracing both material and moral good. Inspired by that ideal he introduced changes in his administration to humanize it and make it welfare – oriented.
After Ashoka, the Mauryan empire started declining. The successors of Ashoka were weak and incompetent and so were unable to stem the tide of disruption. Secondly, the pacifist policy followed by Ashoka had also weakened the military preparedness of the state. After the Kalinga war, Ashoka gave up the aggressive militarism of his forefathers and devoted himself to the propagation of the Law of piety. The attention of the administrative and military officers was thus diverted from their primary duties to the propagation of Dharma. The resources of the state were used on a very large scale for building monasteries, stupas and other monuments. As the final resources of a state are not inexhaustible, such activities would have led to paucity of funds for military and administrative activities.
Furthermore, the Mauryan empire was the first attempt in Indian history to impose a centralized and uniform administration on the far flung regions of the country.
The rulers and the people of the different regions had no sense of loyalty to the ruling dynasty. Revolts in the provinces had occurred even during the reigns of Bindusara and Ashoka. Ashoka's successors failed to check the breaking away of the distant provinces from the empire.

Kennedy Anderson is the exception of building a new brand. Kennedy is a sophomore at Central High School with a 3.8 GPA. She enjoys theater, writing and public speaking which lead her to UCAN of Memphis as the 2nd lead in the anti-bully play "You Can't Hold Me Down" which was March 8 at Le-Moyne Owen College. Kennedy was nominated for Rising Student M.A.D. by her tenacity of change. She was quiet and timid when we were first met but before hitting the stage, Kennedy became this fierce and confident young lady who was willing to help make a difference.
Kennedy stated, "After joining UCAN of Memphis, I have been more active in the community. I was a model at the Memphis Black Expo and I recently volunteered with Habitat for Humanity to help the duties of building new homes." She enjoys giving back to the community and helping others. She also believes it would be less teen violence in the community if more teens volunteered in the community like with organizations such as UCAN of Memphis. This has been the 2nd Rising Student M.A.D. that has made this statement; so if teens are saying it what can we do to make it happen?
As a 16 year old, she said she is very mature for her age. She enjoys being fashionable with her friends but she also knows the limits. She was taught well and wants to emerge that same wisdom to others her age. After graduation she plans on going to a 4 year college to major in journalism. Perhaps she could be our intern for Rising Student M.A.D. ?
Rising Student M.A.D. exemplifies a student who is willing to make a difference in their community. Kennedy Anderson has done just that! If you know a Rising Student M.A.D., nominate them by the 27th of each month to be spotlighted on our website www.ucanofmemphis.org, media and other social sites. The student will also volunteer with the organization representing Rising Student M.A.D. At the end of the year, we will have all Rising Student M.A.D. attend our Christmas Gala December 20, 2014 at Wingate by Wyndham. Only one of the Rising Student M.A.D. will be honored a scholarship for college of their choice! Send your nomination to email@example.com.

LONDON, Jan 12 ― Things have changed a lot at Crystal Palace since they lost 1-0 to Burnley in September, a defeat which cost then manager Frank De Boer his job and left the London club staring at the prospect of relegation.
That defeat at Turf Moor was Palace's fourth straight loss of the campaign and left them without a point or even a goal to their name.
Former England manager Roy Hodgson replaced Dutchman De Boer but it was not until October 14 that Palace secured their first goal and first points of the season with a surprise victory over Chelsea.
That kick-started a run of form that has seen Palace pick up four more wins and seven draws and rise to the relative comfort of 14th in the table.
If the Burnley game marked the start of Palace's revival, then the Lancashire club can also view a match against Saturday's opponents as a turning point.
The Clarets away form last season was terrible and it was not until a 2-0 win at Selhurst Park on April 29 that they managed their first ― and only away win of the campaign which helped secure them top-flight survival.
With that monkey off their back, Burnley have this season been excellent on the road, amassing 17 points, including four wins.
"It was fantastic that we managed to get that win at that stage and it lifted all the pressure off the lads. I'm sure they'll have fond memories and we'll go back there looking to work hard again," said Burnley skipper Ben Mee.
After rising as high as fourth in December, Burnley have not managed a win in their last five league games, although they have come off a tough run of fixtures which included a narrow loss to a late goal against Liverpool and a draw against Manchester United at Old Trafford.
While Burnley can expect a much tougher test than they faced at Turf Moor in September against a much-improved Palace, they themselves may also pose a different threat following the loan signing of French winger Georges-Kevin Nkoudou from Tottenham.
With Irish winger Robbie Brady out with a long-term knee injury and his replacement Scott Arfield also battling for fitness, the former Marseille wide-man could make his debut tomorrow.
Nkoudou has started just three games for Spurs since arriving in the summer of 2016, but he has appeared off the bench nine times in the Premier League and Burnley manager Sean Dyche believes his speed will be an asset.
"He hasn't played a lot but we believe he is a wide player who has pace, is direct and a bit unknown," Dyche said.
"We will make a decision whether we think he should start, or start on the bench. But he will be involved". ― Reuters

Louis van Gaal has admitted concerns over the left-back situation at Manchester United, as well as his squad's tiredness ahead of the Champions League tie with Wolfsburg on Wednesday (30 September). The Dutch gaffer believes the Bundesliga side have an advantage due to the high physical demands of the Premier League, hinting he may have to rotate his selection.
Manchester United returned to the top of the Premier League for the first time since Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement at the weekend, seizing on Manchester City's slip at Tottenham with a 3-0 victory over Sunderland. Van Gaal seems to have settled on an attack system formed by captain Wayne Rooney, Juan Mata and summer signings Memphis Depay and Anthony Martial.
But LVG is less blessed in defence, with the serious injury to Luke Shaw and the knock sustained by Marcos Rojo in the game with Southampton leaving him with no specialists at left-back. Mateo Darmian has been played out of position on the left, with Antonio Valencia covering the Italian on the right side.
Van Gaal suggested that this situation was exacerbated by the demands of the Premier League, indicating a need to make changes for the Champions League tie, despite a disappointing start to the campaign with their 2-1 loss at PSV Eindhoven earlier this month.
"The Premier League is a very difficult league. To beat your opponent every week is not easy, it is always a struggle and a battle. Then you have to play again mid-week in the Champions League and that is the difference between all the clubs in Europe. It is not predictable to say four teams in the Premier League shall overcome this group stage round, no, it is not like that. But I have to say that we have the teams to do it and we have the quality to do it, " he said to the club's website.
"The difficulty is that all these players are in a rat race and that takes a lot out of the players, which is why you have to rotate and that is what I am doing now because I have to protect my players. I am unlucky because I have only one position that is not doubled and that is the position from Luke Shaw, but I had a double because I had Blind and I had Rojo. But now who is injured? Rojo!
"Rojo has not played so much. He has trained for three or four weeks very hard, then he played for Argentina for 70 minutes, 50 minutes against Swansea City and then 70 minutes in the last match at Southampton. It was a very good building up but he is injured; that is unlucky. We can solve the problem with other players but not a specialist like Shaw. Blind is not the specialist. Rojo is more of a specialist because he plays that position for Argentina, which is why he played the last time there. The left full-back position demands more of the capacity of a player."
Wolfsburg are fourth in the Bundesliga after a home draw with Hannover at the weekend. Van Gaal, however, believes that they are not involve in a "rat race" for the title as Manchester United are.
"I say we have to play Sunday-Tuesday, Sunday-Wednesday, so between the matches we cannot recover all of the tiredness. Then we have to play against a European squad who is willing to give everything against us. They don't have a rat race in their competition and that is the difference."

The School Lunch Farm
PDA has created dozens of "school lunch farms" around rural Thailand, including in the Tsunami-affected communities of Krabi and Phang Nga provinces. The school lunch farm program builds small crop plots within the rural schools to be used in school lunches and as an additional source of income. School lunch farms are a sustainable answer to food shortages at school and at home.
The entire community takes ownership of the project: village members volunteer their labor to set up farm infrastructure, students cultivate the crops and raise the animals, and parents and teachers provide guidance and training. Each school also has subcommittees composed of parents, teachers, and students who oversee different kinds of farm activities. Farming is even integrated into the educational curriculum so that students are graded on their care of the farms, and they learn important lessons about responsibility. Some of the food, which includes vegetables, herbs, mushrooms, fish, and poultry, is used for school lunches and the surplus is sold to buy more expensive items such as rice or to invest in the next cycle of crops and animals. The farms are incredibly environmentally-friendly, utilizing organic fertilizer and bicycle-powered or rainwater-based irrigation systems. School communities reap tangible benefits from the farms in terms of income and food, but they also feel a heightened sense of self-sufficiency and empowerment upon seeing their own hard work transform into reality.

Gangster Story
- Miles Fielder
- 4 December 2009
(PG) 65min (Brightspark)
Walter Matthau had a handful of supporting roles under his belt (Bigger Than Life, A Face in the Crowd, King Creole) when he directed himself in this 1959 low-budget crime movie. But Matthau had yet to develop his trademark curmudgeon screen persona and the rather pedestrian material he was working from certainly could have benefited from it. Foreshadowing his tough turn in Charlie Varrick, Matthau plays a cop killer on the run from the law who hides out in a small town where he engineers a bank robbery that enrages the local crime boss. Shot for a measly $75,000 with a five-man non-union crew in Anaheim, California, Matthau, who thought the script was so awful he had to rewrite it every day, looks like he's struggling with the twin responsibilities, which is possibly why he never got behind the camera again. Nevertheless, the film ended up taking more at the box office than the big budget Gary Cooper-Charlton Heston vehicle, The Wreck of the Mary Deare. No extras.

The 2014 'Minnick Hills Vineyard' Syrah by Lagana Cellars is an outstanding, terroir driven release from a warm vintage. Smoky, earthy and aromatically gorgeous, this wine opens with creosote, bacon fat, red currant and red cherry aromatics. This leads to deep flavors of smoked pork shoulder, black olive tapenade, crushed mint, and sagebrush accents.

Free Agent Signings to Shake Up NFL Draft
By landing Anquan Boldin, who's fantasy value probably stays about the same given the upgrade from Matt Leinart to Joe Flacco, Baltimore is unlikely to take a WR in the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft.
Because Boldin had such a brilliant rookie season in 2003, he seems to be older than he actually is. He'll be 30 this year, and has plenty left in the tank. He can challenge Ray Lewis as the tougher player on the team.
The Falcons won't be looking at cornerback early in the draft after signing Dunta Robinson to a long-term deal. They are more likely to turn their attention to acquiring a speed rusher.
I know Bill Parcels loves drafting linebackers, but the likelihood that he goes a different direction in the first round, perhaps DT Dan Williams, increases with the signing of ILB Karlos Dansby. He is a gifted player with a knack for making big plays. The AFC East, minus Buffalo, is shaping up to be an ultra-competitive division.
The G-Men could be looking at DT Brian Price or a speed rushing DE now that they hired the services of safety Antrel Rolle. Safety was a glaring need, and not that they addressed it, they will likely bolster their front four.

New mailbox provisioning in Exchange 2010 may be disabled if the Exchange mailbox server is an agent of System Center Operations Manager and the database free space falls below the default thresholds. This can occur even if the Exchange administrator has adjusted the free space thresholds in the "StoreTSConstants.ps1" script.
Version 14.03.0038.004 of the Exchange 2010 Management Pack (MP) for Operations Manager has a number of unit monitors that use the "Troubleshoot-DataBaseSpace.ps1" script as a custom datasource. If the monitored Exchange 2010 database has free space that is less than the script's default threshold, the workflow will generate an alert and disable new mailbox provisioning. Natively, the default thresholds for this script can be configured in the "StoreTSConstants.ps1" script, which is in the Exchange server's scripts directory. Previous versions of the Exchange MP would honor the changed thresholds when running the "Troubleshoot-DataBaseSpace.ps1" script. Changes to this script in version 14.03.0038.004 of the MP, however, do not provide for any means of adjusting alert thresholds, which can cause the above symptoms.
Manually running the version of "Troubleshoot-DataBaseSpace.ps1" that comes with Exchange 2010 will still honor the user adjusted thresholds as expected.
There are a number of possible workarounds at this time:
1) Operations Manager Administrators can disable the database free space monitors in Operations Manager for any Exchange mailbox servers that have databases where free space below default thresholds is not a concern. Free space on these databases can still be monitored natively through the script provided by Exchange Server 2010.
2) Leave monitoring in place and add free space to the monitored database, when possible, to get above the default percentage thresholds.
3) Leave monitoring in place and run a scheduled script to re-enable provisioning on the Exchange server. The Operations Manager workflow is configured to run once per hour for each Exchange Mailbox server, so a script to re-enable provisioning would need to run at least as often, if not more frequently, to ensure that provisioning was enabled.
Additional Details
Exchange 2010 has a native troubleshooting script: "Troubleshoot-DataBaseSpace.ps1". This script can be invoked manually with threshold values as parameters to alert if database space is low in the mailbox store. If no parameters are specified at runtime, the script can refer to "StoreTSConstants.ps1" in the Exchange 2010 scripts directory to obtain the default thresholds to alert on. The native "StoreTSConstants.ps1" can be modified if the default thresholds are not valid in a customer environment.
Version 14.02.0071.0 of the Exchange 2010 MP has a number of unit monitors that use the "Troubleshoot-DataBaseSpace.ps1" script as a custom datasource, but do not pass any threshold parameters at runtime. The workflows rely on the default values (or modified values if the customer has changed them) in the native "StoreTSConstants.ps1".
In the newest version of the Exchange 2010 MP, 14.03.0038.004, the "Troubleshoot-DataBaseSpace.ps1" script has been modified from the native Exchange 2010 version to look instead in the temporary folder where the script has been invoked from to get the default values. The Exchange MP always included a version of "StoreTSConstants.ps1", but prior to this recent change, the "Troubleshoot-DataBaseSpace.ps1" script would always ignore the version of the "StoreTSConstants" script included with the MP and instead would rely on the native Exchange version of "StoreTSConstants" for default values. If the customer has modified "StoreTSConstants.ps1" in the past, these modifications will now be ignored by the new Exchange 2010 MP, but honored by the native version of "Troubleshoot-Database.ps1" when run manually.
This is a known issue in version 14.03.0038.004 of the Exchange 2010 Management Pack (MP) for Operations Manager. More information will be posted on this site as it becomes available.

Type Four—More Depth by Level
Healthy Levels
Level 1 (At Their Best): Profoundly creative, expressing the personal and the universal, possibly in a work of art. Inspired, self-renewing and regenerating: able to transform all their experiences into something valuable: self-creative.
Level 2: Self-aware, introspective, on the "search for self," aware of feelings and inner impulses. Sensitive and intuitive both to self and others: gentle, tactful, compassionate.
Level 3: Highly personal, individualistic, "true to self." Self-revealing, emotionally honest, humane. Ironic view of self and life: can be serious and funny, vulnerable and emotionally strong.
Average Levels
Level 4: Take an artistic, romantic orientation to life, creating a beautiful, aesthetic environment to cultivate and prolong personal feelings. Heighten reality through fantasy, passionate feelings, and the imagination.
Level 5: To stay in touch with feelings, they interiorize everything, taking everything personally, but become self-absorbed and introverted, moody and hypersensitive, shy and self-conscious, unable to be spontaneous or to "get out of themselves." Stay withdrawn to protect their self-image and to buy time to sort out feelings.
Level 6: Gradually think that they are different from others, and feel that they are exempt from living as everyone else does. They become melancholy dreamers, disdainful, decadent, and sensual, living in a fantasy world. Self-pity and envy of others leads to self-indulgence, and to becoming increasingly impractical, unproductive, effete, and precious.
Unhealthy Levels
Level 7: When dreams fail, become self-inhibiting and angry at self, depressed and alienated from self and others, blocked and emotionally paralyzed. Ashamed of self, fatigued and unable to function.
Level 8: Tormented by delusional self-contempt, self-reproaches, self-hatred, and morbid thoughts: everything is a source of torment. Blaming others, they drive away anyone who tries to help them.
Level 9: Despairing, feel hopeless and become self-destructive, possibly abusing alcohol or drugs to escape. In the extreme: emotional breakdown or suicide is likely. Generally corresponds to the Avoidant, Depressive, and Narcissistic personality disorders.
I'll draw a picture for you: Not all Fours act the same. (You can also substitute ones, twos, threes, fives, etc in for the word fours.) Not all Fours are unhealthy. (Once again you can substitute any other number for the word "fours.")
And, yes, you are being both pushy and ignorant in these matters. I fail to see how someone with whom I have had almost zero interactions with, is more qualified to tell me who I am. Especially taking into account the fact that you a: don't know who you are* and b: don't like women to begin with.
*Evidence is based on the 2 dozen "what type am I?" threads created by you and about you that are floating around on just this forum. I shudder to think what has been created on other boards.
TL;DR: You know nothing.

A plaintiff asserting an unlawful medical examination and disability-related inquiry under 42 U.S.C. section 12112(d)(4)(A) must show (1) that he is an employee of the defendant-employer, and (2) that the defendant-employer required him to undergo a medical examination or made a disability-related inquiry of him. This provision applies to all employees, and a plaintiff need not prove that he is disabled. Even if the plaintiff makes the required showing, the employer may avoid liability by demonstrating that the medical examination or disability-related inquiry was job-related and consistent with business necessity.
The plaintiff in this case, Steven Williams, claims FedEx violated this ADA provision when it required him to submit to monthly drug tests and to disclose his use of legally-prescribed medications. The 10th Circuit made it clear that a test for "illegal use of drugs" is NOT considered a medical examination under the ADA, but noted FedEx did more than merely subject Mr. Williams to mandatory drug testing as they also required him to disclose his use of legally-prescribed medications. The 10th Circuit then noted that they have recognized that requiring disclosure of prescription drugs MAY violate section 12112(d)(4)(A).
However, the lower district court did not address this issue of whether FedEx improperly required Mr. Williams to disclose his use of legally-prescribed drugs, and, thus, this part of Mr. Williams' complaint was remanded so that it may be addressed. The Court instructed the lower court to make this analysis of whether there exists a genuine issue of fact for trial concerning Mr. Williams' allegation that FedEx improperly required him to disclose his use of prescription drugs by considering whether FedEx implemented its purported disclosure requirement to learn whether Mr. Williams was suffering from any health defects, or for some other business purpose. If the purpose was to uncover health defects, this goes against what section 12112(d)(4)(A) was designed to prevent.

GMPTE Journey Planning
Prices for Hotels in Manchester centre vary depending on the football. I would recommend staying in Altrincham its about 20 mins from Cornbrook Tram Station which is around the corner from the studio. If your on foot the Premier Inn is a short walk from Altrincham Station if your driving there are other hotels that are cheaper. Altrincham is a nice part of Manchester and if you fancy somewhere nice posh for a couple of drinks then Hale is just around the corner.

H. Carol Saul Quoted On New HHS List of Patient-Information BreachesHome Health Line March 8, 2010
H. Carol Saul, a Member of the Firm in the Health Care and Life Sciences practice in the Atlanta office, was quoted in an article stating that lost and stolen laptops and portable electronic devices figure prominently in a recently released HHS list of patient-information breaches affecting more than 500 patients.
The article, "Stolen Laptops Part of HHS List of Breaches Affecting More Than 500 Patients," stated the HHS list of 41 incidents, including laptops, was required by the HIPAA amendments included in the Health Insurance Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act, effective February 2009. In one case, two laptops were stolen from AvMed Health Plans' corporate offices in Florida, affecting more than 350,000 patients.
Home health agencies shouldn't take such cases lightly, warned Saul. Along with requiring reporting of breaches affecting 500 or more patients, the HITECH Act also increases penalties to as high as $1.5 million for violations of a single HIPAA provision and gives state attorneys general the authority to enforce HIPAA laws.

Sometimes Friday and I have our best talks and blogging ideas while texting each other – and usually while we're at work… when we SHOULD be working! lol Here is a look into how our blog ideas form – real excerpts from our latest text -talk….. (disclaimer: rated 'R' for raunchy, rowdy, and ridiculous, and sometimes racist!)

With precious few hours left until we learn Walter White's fate, Rabid Dog reminded viewers of the complicated dynamics between fathers and sons, be they of the blood or surrogate variety. More broadly, it appears that Vince Gilligan has put the chess pieces in place for his final act. At the center of last night's episode was Jesse Pinkman, who is now emotionally broken and seeking vengeance on Walt, yes, for the poisoning of poor innocent Brock, but also for the accumulated toll of dead bodies that were left in his wake. Jesse's sense of moral justice dates to his wrestling with the Kafka-esque (yo) nature of the life he had chosen but also to the universe's seeming lack of punishment against him for, among other things, killing Gale.
Through all this, the one constant has been how others - men, primarily - have manipulated Jesse for their own gain. While we have yet to learn Jesse's final fate, the yearning for acceptance and succor from an adult male role model is tragic in its own right. Having essentially been abandoned by his actual parents, Walt long held sway over Jesse, but the relationship was symbiotic; even as Gus tried to ingratiate himself into Jesse's life in order to get Walt out of it, Jesse's one edict was firm – you do not kill Mr. White. As Walt morphed ever deeper into his Heisenberg alter ego, Mike actually did look out for Jesse but in doing so, ran afoul of Walt and ended up down by the river with a bullet in his side. Jesse's new father figure is Hank Schrader, who, like Walt before him, and even Gus, does not care one iota about Jesse's well-being, but is instead simply using him as a pawn to get what he wants. That Jesse is now turning to the man who beat the ever-loving hell out of him a few short months ago (in show time) speaks to the depth of his hatred for Walt and his desire to gain revenge but if he does not help Hank put Walt away, he will be discarded, just as others did when he no longer served their purposes..
An actual father-son relationship, the one between Walt and Flynn, played out poignantly against the backdrop of a pool at a luxury hotel. You see, Flynn has always provided Walt his unquestioned love, and Walt knows that if the truth gets out, it will be his son who is most devastated by the news. Flynn is the last one to believe his father's lies, the last one incapable of seeing past the dizzying amount of bullshit and gross manipulation Walt uses, to less and less avail, with the rest of the world. That scene, shot so wonderfully, closed with a hug between father and son, one pregnant with emotion, for Flynn, fearing for his father's health, for Walt, the devastation that discovery of his secret will unleash on his son.
Flynn is worried about his dad's cancer and the weighty matters of buying a second car wash, but he is that fantasy world's sole inhabitant, everyone else has now caught on to Walt's game with his wife leading the charge to snuff out young Jesse and sever the final link that might connect Walt back to Heisenberg. And here, Walt's weakness for "family," that bright line that led him to have Saul tip off the DEA just before the Salamancas attempted to assassinate Hank, to icily reject Saul's recent suggestion that Hank be "sent on a trip to Belize," or to send Jesse on a similar one-way voyage, may end up being his undoing. In the calculus of half-measures versus full-measures, Walt has clearly miscalculated, for if he understood the jeopardy he is now in, he would realize he is no longer the danger or the one who knocks, but instead, the one waiting to be popped.
