Both DH and I come from very 'traditional' upbringings, we are having trouble at the moment with family and how we are going to discipline DS. We are going down the nonviolent communication route and are both very excited about it. There really isnt any point in trying to explain it to our families as they simply wont get it. All they know (and care to know) is that we are not telling our son 'NO'. He is eight months old, (sorry I know I shouldn't be here... hope you don't mind! ) Which as far as I am concerned seems young for telling no even if we were going down that path!!! We do on occasion say "we don't play with wires" or something similar while we remove him from whatever situation. Most of the time we just redirect him though. I am really just wanting some reassurance that he isnt going to turn into a holy terror as both families keep warning us. We dont know anyone who is parenting like we are and we already notice the wonderful positives in his personality...... however we also notice the 'drawbacks' (although neither of us see it as negative, I am meaning from family's point of view) such as he is extremely strong willed and knows his own mind! I love that about him but all the doom sayers are warning us about what he will be like when he is a toddler and not a 'compliant' baby. I know, I know, I shouldn't worry about what other people say. I just want someone who has been there to tell me that it will all turn out! As a side note though I had my first run in with MIL the other day when she shouted NO at DS and really scared him. She is lovely really just has a totally different outlook on childrearing. Thats why I am now questioning myself. I attempted to tell her the reason we arent telling him no and she just looked at me like I was completely demented...... mind you that was after she got a telling off herself for yelling at my son! Poor wee man didnt know what had hit him!!!
No announcement yet.

Oh, I am so pleased to hear that you have found NVC so early in your parenting. I newer to it, but already see how wonderful it is to relationships. I have a 3 1/2 yr old it is very important to us in continuing a connection. It is a totally different mindset really, in a good way, so start using it with your MIL too!
Let me practice (still new at this!)
I hear that you feel worried about the path you have chosen in parenting. I hear you feel persecuted and misunderstood by your family. You have a need to feel supported. You have a need to protect your child from sudden fearful outbursts!You are requesting support here because your need for support is not met!
Anyway, I think you should find some people near you are are into it, as that makes it MUCH easier!

well, i guess there aren't any assurances that your child won't turn out to be a "holy terror". even if you used traditional methods and were fierce disciplinarians, this would still be true. what i'm saying is, there are no guarantees in parenting, or life, for that matter. we don't practice AP b/c it's the means to an ened, but b/c our children deserve it.
it's about relationship, not behavior. both dh and i were raised in very traditional methods. i complied, he rebelled. but we both have TERRIBLE relationships w/our families.
if your child is "strong-willed", there's a good chance that cracking down on him could cause him to rebel, even though your relatives think that's what he needs. however, oftentimes what these kiddos need is more experience using their wills in guided manners, allowing them the independence their personalities desire.
It's hard with a strong willed child. A strong no is sometimes needed, but we keep that for the "your about to hurt yourself bad!" times so it doesn't loose it's effect.
From your other post you son is 8 months old? I think it's early to expect them to "behave", they are still learning and exploring.
Which part of the world are you in, I'm guessing the UK
Thank you for your replies! It makes such a difference to hear from people who have been there!
PoshMama - We are reserving the no for times when he could be hurt as well, if we didnt I think we would be saying it all the time and that isnt the type of parent we want to be! We live in NZ although I was born in the States... been here a long time though.
PaxMamma - I agree that we practice AP because thats what our children deserve. Both DH and I are very close to our families now but were both rebellious when we were younger. I totally agree that coming down hard on a strong-willed child is asking for them to rebel..... I remember my childhood as being a battle of wills, especially with my mother. I dont want my son to see us as the enemy.
naomifrederickmd - I am glad that we found NVC too! We are still very new and in the research stage. Of course DS is still too little to practice on but we have been giving it a go on eachother! Thank you for validating my feelings.

I really felt connected with a lot of what you said. I'd like to share a few thoughts.
Regarding your fear (or your family members' fears) that your parenting techniques will not turn out a "good" child:
My MIL recently told me that she was amazed that our 18-month-old can communicate so well with words and sign language; she was afraid that by us teaching her sign language, we were going to keep her language skills from developing. I will continue to use this example throughout our parenting to remind her that we do have an idea of what we are doing. Similarly, she worried tremendously that we didn't give our daughter jarred baby food. Now she eats like a champ; another example I will remind her of when she raises doubts.
Regarding how to respond to your parents/in-laws when they try to discipline in a way you disagree with:
I really struggled with this recently myself when we spent some time with my MIL, who stepped in to help us out and watch our daughter for a few days while I was at work. She embraces the way my husband and I "talk" to our daughter "like she is an adult", and she tried to do the same. But she missed the point a little and said things like "you're not going to cry today because it makes mommy sad." Totally not true, of course, and a guilt-based model that I want to avoid. I didn't say anything because I didn't know how to say it appropriately. (She didn't say it in my presence, but proudly recounted to me that she'd said it earlier in the day.) I realize that she was trying. Like me just a few months ago, she doesn't know about all of the logic behind this and deserves to be respected while she learns it.
I've gone over this situation in my head many times and believe the best thing to do is use NVC, such as:
"I need my daughter to know that it is okay to express her emotions in whatever safe way she chooses (and crying is a safe way)." I am still trying to find something in my MIL's approach that I am grateful for (what was her need? how can I acknowledge and express appreciation for that?). Once I figure this out, I would add to my above statement something about appreciating how she wants to experience joyful times with my daughter, too, or something similar. Then I would try to offer her an alternative that I am comfortable with.
I would avoid saying that it is bad to tell the child not to cry, or to yell no at her, or whatever. I would state my need. "I appreciate your efforts to help me keep my daughter from harm. I need my daughter to feel safe. She feels scared when she hears someone yell. I need her to be able to understand why we do and don't do things. Telling her no alone doesn't give her the information I want her to have to be able to make decisions. We both prefer being spoken to gently and receiving explanations of why you would not like her to do the thing you are saying no to. If this is difficult for you to do, please share these thoughts with me, and I will communicate them to my daughter in a way that I know will work for her."
I really try to remember that others are doing the best they know how and try to work through things in this frame of mind. I also really, really try to apply the same AP principles to my adult family members that I apply to my child. If my child said something I disagreed with, I certainly wouldn't yell at her. I would explain what my need was and some ways we could work around it. (Admittedly, this comes much easier when dealing with my daughter than with my adult family. It is definitely a work in progress.)
Hope this makes sense. I am struggling very hard to understand my feelings and needs and to find new, heartfelt ways of communicating with our families that will not alienate them. It is really helpful for me to try to share this with you.
AwakenedMama - I am great full for your incredibly thoughtful reply. Thanks!
I like your idea of using the AP principles on everyone in the family. After I had got upset with MIL I realized that I hadn't thought it through before speaking. I wish I had stopped and thought about her intentions. I will get there eventually! I have since apologized which has opened a great dialog with MIL about what we are doing. She still doesn't get it and thinks we are a bunch of hippies! But she now knows that their is method to our madness and we arent just making it up as we go along.
Thank you.

We struggled with this too. We avoided saying NO until it became very clear around 14 months that out lil man is very strong willed and just doesn't get it otherwise (we do avoid just saying NO though). So, from around 6 months until 14 months, we didn't use it. I do remember my ILs yelling no at him starting at 8 months. I told them we were trying to avoid using that word and told them what we were doing instead. They thought I was crazy. They did try our way, but it didn't work for them. I just let it go. I feel that the primary care givers are the biggest shapers so that these other influences don't make as much impact.
Sorry I don't have any advice to add. Sounds like some great points have been made.

i'm reading "How to talk so your kids will listen and listen so your kids will talk" i read the following paragraph and thought it was extremely relevant to this conversation:
p.87 "People have asked us, "If i use these skills appropriately, will my children always respond?" Our answer is: We would hope not. Children aren't robots. Besides, our purpose is not to set forth a series of techniques to manipulate behavior so that children always respond.
Our purpose is to speak to what is best in our children--their intelligence, their initiative, their sense of responsibility their sense of humor, their ability to be sensitive to the needs of others.
We want to put an end to talk that wounds the spirit, and search out the language that nourishes self-esteem.
We want to create an emotional climate that encourages children to cooperate because they care about themselves, and because they care about us.
We want to demonstrate the kind of respectful communication that we hope our children will use with us--now, during their adolescent years, and ultimately as our adult friends."

More major donations roll in for cancer institute
MARSHALL – Financial support has continued to come in for a cancer institute planned at Avera Marshall Regional Medical Center. Avera Marshall announced this week that two more large donations, totaling $100,000, have been contributed.
"We are so grateful for the businesses and individuals who are stepping forward with generous donations," said Marty Seifert, executive director of the Avera Marshall Foundation. "People in our region feel strongly about having local cancer services available, and it's exciting to see the campaign momentum."
D&G Excavating and the Brian and Kris Gruhot family have contributed $75,000 for construction of the cancer institute, and Lyon-Lincoln Electric Cooperative has donated $25,000, Avera Marshall said.
"We always try to give back to the communities that have given so much to our business," Kris Gruhot said Wednesday. Supporting the cancer center seemed like a good way for D&G to do that, she said.
Tim O'Leary of Lyon-Lincoln Electric said having local access to cancer treatments is something that would help people living throughout the cooperative's service area. Lyon-Lincoln Electric's board of directors had a positive response toward making a donation.
"The impact is going to be tremendous," O'Leary said of having the cancer institute in Marshall. "We think this is going to be a positive addition to the communities and area we serve."
Kris Gruhot said that impact was also part of the reason her family and their business decided to donate to the campaign.
"The statistics are pretty scary," Gruhot said – most people will likely have their lives touched by cancer in some way. But at the same time, she said, it's not uncommon to hear of area residents having to stay with family or temporarily move closer to where they're being treated for cancer.
"Marshall's pretty unique. We're an hour and a half away from Sioux Falls, or three hours away from Minneapolis," she said. Having treatment options closer to home will make a big difference.
The Avera Marshall Foundation kicked off a capital campaign for the cancer institute in February. The foundation set a fundraising goal of $5.45 million, out of an estimated $12.9 million total cost. The cancer institute will be an addition to the existing medical center in Marshall and provide services including radiation and chemotherapy.
Contributions to the capital campaign are still being accepted. Individuals or businesses who would like to make a donation or get more information about the campaign, can contact Seifert at 507-537-9145.

Skip to comments.Lakeland Electric lineman breaks jaw, cheek bone in attack while restoring power in NY
Posted on 11/13/2012 6:56:00 AM PST by SoFloFreeper
LAKELAND, Fla. - A bay area electrical lineman who got attacked while helping restore power in the storm-ravaged area of New York will likely need surgery to repair his face.
John Applewhite was wrapping up a long day Friday with his 24-member crew from Lakeland Electric, when they pulled into a restaurant for a much needed dinner break.
That's when a stranger drove up, yelled something, and took a swing at John.
(Excerpt) Read more at abcactionnews.com ...
Yah. Their own overtime is more important than the safety and security of their neighbors. Time to make some hay out of this kind of situation with major exposure of every single union thug incident that happens post-Sandy.
It isn't just the south. Several non union truck drivers from Michigan have been turned away as well.
scumbag thugs in my neighborhood. too bad the Florida line worker wasn't packing and blew the head off this thug.
My thoughts were similar. On the Drudge site people were wondering if the attacker was Amish because there was no description. Ethnicity aside, I was wondering if Applewhite is non union, and if the attacker is union.
Leave 'em to rot.
Someone needs to take out a big ad pointing the finger squarely at Unions for the slow recovery time.
We saw in the year of the hurricanes how hard these linemen worked, the concern they showed. We offered them our gratitude, our water, our assistance.
Oh my ears! "...who got attacked.." Raische says. I wonder too if the lineman broke his own jaw? Maybe it was the whogot.
Union thugs are criminals, and Ubama is about to give them card check. Good luck to the decent people out there.
And the Lakeland Lineman... is still on the liiiiiiiine.
Ad? The whole population in NE Red States loves the unions. The slow fix will be blamed and lapped up by NE sheeple as the fault of stupid southern scabs refusing to agree to temporary union, I mean it was ONLY about SAFETY and the union knows best.
Guns are pretty much illegal in New York. The electrician would be in jail right now.
I'm starting a new club called STAL:
"Stop the Amish Libel"
Hostess just shut down 3 plants permanently in Seattle due to a strike. I'm sure the union is bragging that they showed management who's boss.
Wow. i work in lakeland. wth. no good deed goes unpunished.
I recall Gloria in 85, there were no problems with the out of state help. The first thing that hit me was BMW, irate Islander = punching a helper? I didn't buy it, I figured it was one of the Union types. The police are investigating, but I doubt if anything will come of it. If people are irate they should be irate with the Union, not the volunteers from the south.
the linemen that I know, are a tough bunch of guys....if they can find that jerk,,,he is in for big trouble...!
With any luck, the thug who did this will brag to the wrong people, and he will be turned in. It may take a while though. I hope he screws up and talks about his prowess.
I noticed that also.
The "lineman breaks jaw, cheek bone" walking into the fists of the thug who attacked him?
Maybe they will be soon.
One in Seattle—one in St Louis—one in Cinannatti—627 jobs total.
Probably not coming back—union striking for more benefits.
Hostess threatens to liquidate the entire company within days.
Agreed - poorly written title...
That headline makes it sound like an accident! That is unacceptable!
That headline makes it sound like an accident! That is unacceptable!
That headline makes it sound like an accident!
Somehow my eyes failed to stop upon "in attack". Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa!

Agree...it is LONG past time that we quit slandering the hard-working and gentle people like the Amish in the name of political correctness.

As expected, Intel Corp. has lowered pricing on an array of microprocessors based on various micro-architectures, a move that will boost the demand towards more powerful chips from the company and allows to introduce higher-performance model going forward, which will all increase pressure on its smaller rival Advanced Micro Devices.
The price slashes vary from 6% to 40% depending on the processor model, but the most remarkable drops can be noticed in Core 2 family of microprocessors. After the price slash of 38%, Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 processor now costs $530, a much lower price-point than $851, making microprocessors with four processing engines far more affordable for general public. The cheapest Core 2 Duo, the model E4300, now costs $113, whereas the highest-performing part is now priced at $316 in 1000-unit quantities, 40% lower than before.
Intel also reduced pricing of value Intel Pentium D and Celeron D and M processor series, sending dual-core Pentium D central processing units to $74 price-point.
Besides, Intel reduced prices on Intel Xeon 3000- and 3200-series processors by 9% to 40%, which makes quad-core Xeon X3210 and X3220 for single-processor systems available at pretty low price-points of $423 and $530, respectively, which means that lowest-cost quad-core chip now costs just a little higher than $400.
Intel typically does not release any statements concerning its price decreases.

750 hours for MTBF does not look so promising. I hope you can correct this mistake. Great article, as always
Seagate Technology, the world's largest maker of hard disk drives (HDDs), on Monday initiated shipments of the industry's first hard drives with Serial ATA-600 interface. Besides new interconnection, the Barracuda XT hard drives feature very high capacities as well as massive onboard cache, which should give a substantial performance boost.
"Capacity and performance remain the defining attributes of hard drives for PC gamers, digital multimedia content developers and many other customers requiring high-end systems at home and in the office. Seagate is meeting these requirements with the first 7200RPM desktop hard drive to combine 2TB of storage capacity with the fastest Serial ATA interface to date," said Dave Mosley, executive vice president of sales and marketing at Seagate.
Seagate Barracuda XT 3.5" hard drive offers 2TB capacity, 7200rpm spindle speed, 64MB cache and SATA-600 interface. Seagate declares 4.16ms average latency, 8.5ms random read seek time and 9.5ms random write seek time. Seagate claims that the new HDD has average idle power consumption of 6.39W. The company guarantees meantime before failure (MTBF) of 75,000 hours for its new desktop drive.
The Barracuda XT is a four-platter drive featuring an areal density of 368Gb/square inch. The hard drive's SATA 6Gb/s interface enables system builders using SATA 6Gb/s drive controllers to build high-performance desktop PCs, full-tilt gaming rigs, and home and small business servers, and its 64MB cache optimizes burst performance and data transfer speeds.
At present Asustek Computer P7P55D Premium and Gigabyte Technology GA-P55-Extreme mainboards support Serial ATA-600 interconnection.

In short: Fantastic event, gets better each yearIn full: The second climb up Juniper Hill was a shock, nice touch running up the Zig Zags though. Ran the race with a dodgy ankle, operation booked later this month, so hope to run a bit faster next year. Thanks Dr Rob, another great event.Date of review: January 3, 2012
In short: The best deranged way to start the yearIn full: Dr Rob and his marshals did another fantastic job - another big thank you. Every year I find myself looking around and grinning at the eccentricly dressed folk; I sang God Save the Queen while chatting to an elf and petting Death's huskies this year, other than Elton John's parties where else?. Big fan of the zigzag way addition too - will make watching Cav, Wiggo, G and the boys whizzing up it later this year even better.Mark (the daffodil)PS 100% for PB as I've never run a 12k before.Date of review: January 3, 2012
In short: The perfect New Year's Hangover busterIn full: Rob, you did it again! Many thanks for a fantastic day, although it's now Tuesday and my legs are a bit sore. Fantastic organisation as usual, with friendly marshals steering us around the hard course. Some of it was very muddy, but that was just a good excuse to use my Christmas XC shoes.Not many people can say that they spent New Year's Day chasing a Dalek and a French Maid up a hill...Date of review: January 3, 2012
In short: Wild, lively and colourful.In full: Great atmosphere all round. Some of the costumes were fantastic but other left something to be desired (i.e. any fancy dress!) Very tough especially after new years parties the night before and fattening christmas but unquestionably worth it.Date of review: January 2, 2012
In short: Hard, Hard, HardIn full: This is the best and hardest race of the year. Now on my 3rd run of this, I wouldn't miss it for the world. This was by far the most challenging route, which for me, made it twice as toughDate of review: January 2, 2012
In short: Superb eventIn full: Brilliant event. Looking forward to 2013!Date of review: January 2, 2012
In short: Thanks to the runnersIn full: I was actually one of the marshals at this event and just wanted to say thank you to the runners for making this such a wonderful race to be a marshal at. I was marshaling on Juniper Top (:-) - and had the task of sending all the runners back down the slope to the snowman - so they could run back up again). Although there were some slight curses everyone was really cheerful and friendly - never had so many thanks before. It was really appreciated and helped make this such a fun event to marshal. I will be back!!!Date of review: January 2, 2012

Prenatal Blood Work
Now that you're expecting, get ready to give some blood and on a regular basis. If the thought of the prick of a needle makes you feel light-headed now, by the end of your pregnancy and most certainly by the end of labor and delivery you will breeze through it like a pregnancy warrior. Blood tests are a standard part of your prenatal care. During your first prenatal appointment, your doctor or midwife will order a plethora of blood tests. You will be asked to give blood samples to test for:

Lamas again switches to a single, but lets it go. Lamas trying to get behind Koch to score a body lock takedown, but can't get it. They break after exchanging an elbow and a punch. Lamas goes again for the single and finally gets it, but for only a moment.
Round 2:
Left hand by Kock to start the round. Two hard outside leg kicks from Lamas and Koch responds with an inside kick of his own. Koch presses Lamas into the cage, but disengages. One-two combo from Koch finds the mark. Double leg takedown from a slip puts Lamas on top of Koch and working from his guard. Decent ground and pound from Lamas on top with both body shots and elbows to the head. Lamas nails Koch with a hard elbow and a left hand leaving the Duke Roufus product hurt. A few more shots and Koch doesn't know where he is as John McCarthy stops the fight. Brutal finish.

Rejoice ever more. 1 Thessalonians 5:16
Mighty Mouse!!! I was a little concerned at the beginning, after the first two rounds, but he really began to dominate the longer the fight went on especially in the last two rounds while Dodson seemed to lose steam.
I'm glad Big John did not take a point away for what they're calling an illegal knee to the head; I don't think Demetrious was aware/knew Dodson had put his had on the ground when he kneed him.
The smaller guys never disappoint, always exciting to watch!

Jaime Hernandez: The 1999 Connecticut Quarter is the fifth design in the 50 States Quarter Program. It is also the final State Quarter design of the 20th century.
The Connecticut State Quarter was issued on October 12, 1999. The State of Connecticut was admitted into the Union on January 9, 1788. The reverse design representing Connecticut displays a Charter Oak Tree, which was the hiding place for the states original Constitution.
Connecticut circulation strike quarters were produced at Philadelphia and Denver. Philadelphia coins will display a P mint mark and the Denver coins will display the D mint mark.
Connecticut Clad and Silver Proof Quarters were also produced by the U.S. Mint. Both Clad and Silver Proof Quarters will contain an S mint mark, since they were produced at the San Francisco Mint.
Proof Clad Quarters will display copper on the reeded edge. Silver Quarters will display a silver looking edge.

Atlantic cod
The Atlantic cod, Gadus morhua, is a well-known demersal food fish belonging to the family Gadidae. It is also commercially known as cod, codling or haberdine.[2]
In the western Atlantic Ocean cod has a distribution north of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, and round both coasts of Greenland; in the eastern Atlantic it is found from the Bay of Biscay north to the Arctic Ocean, including the Baltic Sea, the North Sea, Sea of the Hebrides,[3] areas around Iceland and the Barents Sea.
It can grow to 2 meters in length and weigh up to 96 kilograms (210 lb). It can live for 25 years and sexual maturity is generally attained between ages 2 to 4,[4] but can be as late as 8 years in the northeast Arctic.[5] Colouring is brown to green with spots on the dorsal side, shading to silver ventrally. A lateral line is clearly visible. Its habitat ranges from the shoreline down to the continental shelf.
Several cod stocks collapsed in the 1990s (declined by >95% of maximum historical biomass) and have failed to recover even with the cessation of fishing.[6] This absence of the apex predator has led to a trophic cascade in many areas.[6] Many other cod stocks remain at risk. The "Atlantic Cod" is labelled VU (vulnerable) on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.[1]
Northeast Atlantic cod
The Northeast Atlantic is the world's largest population of cod. By far the largest part of this population is the North-East Arctic Cod, as it is labelled by the ICES, or the Arcto-Norwegian cod stock, also referred to as skrei, a Norwegian name meaning something like "the wanderer", distinguishing it from coastal cod. The North-East Arctic Cod is found in the Barents Sea area. This stock spawns in March and April along the Norwegian coast, about 40% around the Lofoten archipelago. Newly hatched larvae drift northwards with the coastal current while feeding on larval copepods. By summer the young cod reach the Barents Sea where they stay for the rest of their life, until their spawning migration. As the cod grow, they feed on krill and other small crustaceans and fish. Adult cod primarily feed on fish such as capelin and herring. The northeast Arctic cod also shows cannibalistic behaviour. Estimated stock size was in 2008 2.26 million tonnes.
The North Sea cod stock is primarily fished by European Union member states and Norway. In 1999 the catch was divided among Denmark (31%), Scotland (25%), the rest of the United Kingdom (12%), the Netherlands (10%), Belgium, Germany and Norway (17%). In the 1970s, the annual catch rose to between 200,000 - 300,000 tons. Due to concerns about overfishing, catch quotas were repeatedly reduced in the 1980s and 1990s. In 2003, ICES stated that there is a high risk of stock collapse if current exploitation levels continue, and recommended a moratorium on catching Atlantic cod in the North Sea during 2004. However, agriculture and fisheries ministers from the Council of the European Union endorsed the EU/Norway Agreement and set the total allowable catch (TAC) 27,300 tons. Seafood sustainability guides such as the Monterey Bay Aquarium's Seafood Watch often recommend environmentally conscious customers not purchase Atlantic Cod.
The stock of North-East Arctic cod was more than a million tons following World War II, but declined to a historic minimum of 118,000 tons in 1987. The North-East Arctic cod catch reached a historic maximum of 1,343,000 tons in 1956, and bottomed out at 212,000 tons in 1990. Since 2000, the spawning stock has increased quite quickly, helped by low fishing pressure. However, there are worries about a decreased age at first spawning (often an early sign of stock collapse), combined with the level of discards and unreported catches. The total catch in 2003 was 521,949 tons, the major fishers being Norway (191,976 tons) and Russia (182,160 tons).
Northwest Atlantic cod
The northwest Atlantic cod has been regarded as heavily overfished throughout its range, resulting in a crash in the fishery in the United States and Canada during the early 1990s.
Newfoundland's northern cod fishery can be traced back to the 16th century. "On average, about 300,000 tonnes of cod was landed annually until the 1960s, when advances in technology enabled factory trawlers to take larger catches. By 1968, landings for the fish peaked at 800,000 tonnes before a gradual decline set in. With the reopening of the limited cod fisheries in 2006, nearly 2,700 tonnes of cod were hauled in. In 2007, it was estimated that offshore cod stocks were at one per cent of what they were in 1977".[7]
Technologies that contributed to the collapse of Atlantic Cod include engine power vessels and frozen food compartments aboard ships. Engine power vessels had larger nets, larger engines, and better navigation. The capacity to catch fish became limitless. In addition, sonar technology gave an edge to catching and detecting fish. Sonar was originally developed during WWII to locate enemy submarines, but was later applied to locating schools of fish. These new technologies, as well as bottom-trawlers that destroyed entire ecosystems, contributed to the collapse of Atlantic Cod. They were vastly different from old techniques used, such as hand lines and long lines.[8]
The fishery has yet to recover, and may not recover at all because of a possibly stable change in the food chain. Atlantic cod was a top-tier predator, along with haddock, flounder and hake, feeding upon smaller prey such as herring, capelin, shrimp and snow crab.[6] With the large predatory fish removed, their prey has had a population explosion and have become the top predators, affecting the survival rates of cod eggs and fry.
Population tracking
Cod populations or stocks can differ significantly both in appearance and biology. For instance, the cod stocks of the Baltic Sea are adapted to low-salinity water. Organisations such as the Northwest Atlantic Fishery Organization (NAFO) and ICES divide the cod into management units or stocks; however these units are not always biologically distinguishable stocks. Some major stocks/management units on the Canadian/US shelf (see map of NAFO areas) are the Southern Labrador-Eastern Newfoundland stock (NAFO divisions 2J3KL), the Northern Gulf of St. Lawrence stock (NAFO divisions 3Pn4RS), the Northern Scotian Shelf stock (NAFO divisions 4VsW), which all lie in Canadian waters, and the Georges Bank and Gulf of Maine stocks in United States waters. In the European Atlantic, there are numerous separate stocks: on the shelves of Iceland, the coast of Norway, the Barents Sea, the Faroe Islands, off western Scotland, the North Sea, the Irish Sea, the Celtic Sea and in the Baltic Sea.
Adult cod form spawning aggregations from late winter to spring.[9][10]
Females release their eggs in batches,[11] and males compete to fertilise them.[12][13][14]
Pelagic larval phase
Fertilized eggs drift with ocean currents and develop into larvae.
Age of maturation varies between cod stocks, from ages 2 to 4 in the west Atlantic,[15] but as late as 8 years in the northeast Arctic.[5]
Cod can live for 13 years or more.[16]
|This section requires expansion.
Atlantic cod act as intermediate, paratenic or definitive hosts to a large number of parasite species: 107 taxa listed by Hemmingsen and MacKenzie (2001)[17] and sevev new records by Perdiguero-Alonso et al. (2008).[17] The predominant groups of cod parasites in the northeast Atlantic were trematodes (19 species) and nematodes (13 species), including larval anisakids, which comprised 58.2% of the total number of individuals.[17] Parasites of Atlantic cod include copepods, digeneans, monogeneans, acanthocephalans, cestodes, nematodes, myxozoans and protozoans:[17]

Topic: link_to_remote and before_filter issue
I'm using acts_as_authenticated and acts_as_rateable.
When I use the link_to the acts_as_rateable plugin would confirm that a user is logged in. If not it would redirect the user to the login page.
I have converted the link_to to link_to_remote and it no longer checks to see if the user is logged in. I have added a before_filter :login_required; however, nothing happens. I look through the log file and it says that it is redirecting the users to the login page; however, the page is not redirected to the login page.
Anyone have any idea why the login page isn't showing up with the link_to_remote?

The association recently released a position statement on this matter and is one of the first animal health organizations in the U.S. to officially take a stance on animal sentiency.
"Veterinarians have always known that domestic pets have emotions and can experience pain and fear," said Dr. Rod Jouppi, chair of AAHA's Animal Ethics and Welfare Committee. "Sentience refers to these characteristics and AAHA wants to ensure that our profession clearly states that pets have a special place in our homes and in our hearts, and certainly deserve to be included within the sphere of sentience."
While the designation by the AAHA may change the thinking of some non-pet owners, it is not a surprise to anyone who's ever had a cat, dog or other pet. After all, the pure joy and exuberance a dog exhibits when his owner comes home from work, or the way a cat purrs when snuggling with his owner is reason enough for anyone to believe that our pets have feelings, too!

Research Summary
Metabolism drives all biological processes, dysregulation of which fuels a plethora of human diseases including diabetes, obesity, cancer, aging, cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. The long-range goal of our research is to unravel temporal and spatial regulation of metabolic pathways in response to environmental and genetic cues, and to design strategies to battle metabolic diseases. Diet and the light/dark cycle are principle environmental cues that control intermediary metabolism. Nutrient flux into the cell triggers the posttranslational modification of intracellular proteins by the amino sugar called N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc). Our first goal is to elucidate how O-GlcNAc acts as a molecular switch that couples nutrient cues to cellular regulation of signal transduction, transcription and protein degradation. Both light and diet affect the body's circadian rhythms. Our second goal is to depict molecular pathways that couple the circadian clock to metabolic physiology. We are employing a combination of experimental approaches, including biochemistry, molecular and cellular biology, mouse genetics, genomics, proteomics and metabolomics, to accomplish our research goals.

Extensive Research Description
The long-range goal of our research is to understand signaling and transcriptional mechanisms governing metabolism in response to environmental and genetic cues, and to design strategies to battle metabolic diseases.
Diet and the day/night cycle are principle environmental cues that control intermediary metabolism. Nutrient flux into the cell triggers protein modification by the amino sugar called N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc). This dynamic and reversible posttranslational modification is emerging as a key regulator of diverse cellular processes. Our first goal is to elucidate how O-GlcNAc acts as a nutrient sensor to couple systemic metabolic status to cellular regulation of signal transduction, transcription, and protein degradation. It is crucial to understand how perturbations in this posttranslational modification contribute to human diseases including diabetes, obesity, cancer and aging.
Both diet and light affect the body's circadian rhythms. Our second goal is to unravel molecular links between the circadian clock and metabolic physiology. On the basis of our finding of broad expression and tissue-specific oscillation of nuclear receptors, we would like to determine potential roles of nuclear receptors in integrating circadian signals from nutritional cues and the light-sensing central clock to entrain peripheral clocks, and in coupling peripheral clocks to divergent metabolic outputs. There are the emerging links between circadian rhythm disorders and diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease. We plan to explore novel strategies for treating these interrelated diseases.
To approach these goals, a combination of cutting-edge tools are employed, including biochemistry, molecular and cellular biology, mouse genetics, genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and physiology.
Positions are available in my lab for highly motivated graduate students and postdoctoral fellows who are interested in exploring the frontier of research on metabolic physiology.

Sidewalks, man-hole covers and noise ordinancesPosted Wednesday, November 21, 2012, at 8:09 AM
On an "open-comment" post we had three basic concerns come up that should have their own post to "bring light" on the subject. Please lets us know your thoughts.
Here are the starting comments. I may break the statements up for ease of reading, or typos but have not edited them in any other form or fashion:
"Nowlin Taylor wrote a letter to the editor not to long ago and stated the manhole covers in town seem to be set below the blacktop on our roads causing tire damage and or just an uncomfortable ride when ya hit them....
I have to agree with him...it would not be so bad if one or two had the issue but everyone in town is like that it seems....
I also wonder why the would pave one of the busiest street in town (blue ribbon pkwy) and not put in sidewalks...I live over there and everyday there is always several folks walking down the road causing a path through the edge of the yards.....
I just don't see whomever is making safety decisions or quality of life decisions for our town have their thinking cap on.....the pothole manhole cover should have already been fixed....its not a difficult thing to remedy but has been needing it for several years now...
Bethany lane has 4 with the issue alone between Depot and Madison not to mention the one at that back road into Kroger at Fairfield Pike and further down towards the N. Main light.....maybe its just my pet peeve but.....come on decision maker....wake up!
-- Posted by chefgrape on Mon, Nov 19, 2012, at 11:57 AM
I am guessing here, but would the manhole covers seem to recede as the asphalt builds up? What is the solution for that? Is there a way to build up the manhole?
Regarding the sidewalks, it would seem as good as an official study (person count) that if the grass is worn down and a trail created, there is a substantial amount of foot traffic and the sidewalk should be considered for the safety of the walking and driving.
-- Posted by stevemills on Mon, Nov 19, 2012, at 4:20 PM
I'm of the opinion that sidewalks are appealing to the eye. Now, I won't go so far as to say they are a thing of beauty, they do convey a sense of neighborhood. Kind of a down home look, if you know what I mean.
For instance, I've seen old pictures of downtown areas like Belmont avenue and I imagine strolling down those sidewalks, meeting neighbors, etc. Maybe even walking to the Princess Theater on a Saturday night. Nostalgic, that's the word I'm looking for.
-- Posted by Tim Lokey on Tue, Nov 20, 2012, at 1:20 AM
Well the sidewalk for blue ribbon should also be considered for during the horse show...
there is a solution for the manhole covers in Florida there were steel metal rings the size of the cover they dropped under the cover after paving and created a flush finish....I had a friend that worked for the road dept. in west palm and that was one of his many jobs for them...sidewalks are vary appealing for dressing up the neighborhood in my opinion...even more reason for on a main road to have them...
I would hate to be the one setting in the lawn chair at the four-way stop over here doing a traffic count don't think I can count that fast....
I have also been woke up many a night with thumping music driving down blue ribbon it will rattle the pictures off the wall...I think they need a big sign that says "we are still a neighborhood please consider others and turn it down" placed out there somewhere.
-- Posted by chefgrape on Tue, Nov 20, 2012, at 7:10 AM
Noise ordinances are in many settled communities. I am not a big one for adding more laws, but this at least gives the police some support for asking folks to "turn it down". It is also beneficial to those in the cars who will be hearing impaired somewhere in the not too distant future. :-)
The steel rings sound like just the answer needed. Anyone on the town council reading these things?

[Show in chronological order instead]
chefgrape, you questioned why sidewalks were not put in on Blue Ribbon Parkway and I'll attempt to explain. The Blue Ribbon Parkway, Stanley Blvd., East Lane Street and the Traffic Lights which will be installed at Learning Way and Madison are being done with STP funds, so that is a State Transportation Project and nothing can be replaced or added to existing conditions it has to go back as it was. Since there were no existing sidewalks they could not be added to the project when it was bid.
I am with you and would like to see sidewalks in our community. I, too, think it adds to the community to have sidewalks but it does get to be quite expensive hopefully someday funds will be available. Getting a grant hasn't been successful as of yet but we still try.

Steve, the Power, Water and Sewer Systems are all independant of the City. The city doesn't contribute any financial support to the operations, so the Systems have to generate their own revenue for expansions, operating expenses, catastrophes, etc. and that they do that through the rates they charge for the services. Other than appointing the Board, and obtaining grants for them, the City has nothing to do with the operations. It's unique in that it (Shelbyville Power, Water and Sewer System) has it's own charter and I think the only one in the State. Most systems are run by the City, in which they are, and there are Cities that contract out the running of their Utilities.

I have been disturbed several times by that vary issue of the thumpers...I had to rest after cancer treatments and actually had to put my favorite picture back on the wall twice after getting woke up during an afternoon nap to get some strength back....I do have to say that after notifying our wonderful men and women at our PD...it subsided for awhile....now instead of everyday it has gone down to maybe twice a week I get shaken....my house on blue ribbon only has about 30 feet to the road of yard...and I already know some elderly neighbors of mine are disturbed....I was told that in order to actually enforce a noise ordnance you have to have a decibel meter or similar device, however if your disturbing others with aggravating behavior its more like a right to live in peace kinda issue and that can be more cost effective and effective in general then a 20 buck noise ordinance citation...therefore I was not clear if a noise ordinance was worth pursuing....I do know that down blue ribbon they have stopped a few cars......and going back to the sidewalk thingy...I was discussing the subject with a friend about it and she brought up a real good point ...It seems her opinion was that communities that have safe zones,curb appeal and bike lanes, picnic or family areas etc and she emphasized kid friendly sidewalks attract population, growth and industry and businesses to areas throughout the US..."It sure would be nice for Shelbyville to add, or on improving areas, to consider such things so in the long-run we grow and attract industry, tax base etc.for a better and safer community."

I would LOVE for the county to have a noise ordinance law. Then maybe we would be able to enjoy being outside and inside our house without having everything shaking due to disrespectful teens who like to blare their thumping sounds as loud as they can. I don't have a big problem with someone playing music while they are zipping down the road. But when you drive slow and thump loud enough that the windows throughout the houses you are passing are shaking .. then something needs to be done!
-- Posted by PrpleHze on Fri, Nov 23, 2012, at 12:51 PM
Then the sewer system should know better then to let it go this long...simply said if I do a job I do it to completion with all bases covered so as to not draw complaints or dissatisfaction from those that have to deal with it....maybe it's just me I seem to be a perfectionist but then again I make a good cheesecake and many flavors but I would never ever let one outta my hands that was not perfectly right all around from flavor to looks, even the decorative garnish has to be the right strawberry facing the right direction and the prettiest in the bunch, I guess If your going to make a cake you have to be smarter then the cake or you will get a nasty restaurant review in the local paper. :O).......so listen up sewer guys or gals or whomever is dealing with manhole covers in town...your being called on the block and we could use a I'll take care of it or an explanation please!....oh and thanks for the beautiful color on those manhole covers they are just lovely, but could ya just raise a few of them please so we don't have a blow out and hit a pole and die! It's thanksgiving morning and just the simple things like quality of life in our town would make a great Christmas present for us all I would be vary thankful for it and I would think after two letters Mr.Taylor would be elated!!
-- Posted by chefgrape on Thu, Nov 22, 2012, at 7:37 AM
Is the Sewer system independent of the Town? I would have not thought about that.
There is a possibility chefgrape.

Knights open season with pair of losses
ROSEMOUNT – The Martin Luther College softball team opened its season with two losses in a doubleheader against Macalester by the scores of 13-3 and 11-2 Tuesday at the Irish Sports Dome.
The Knights dropped game one 13-3 after the Scots jumped out to a big lead early. Macalester scored twice in the first inning, and then added seven runs in the second inning and four more in the third inning to complete the scoring.
MLC pitcher Laura Miller took the loss, allowing 11 earned runs on 10 hits and six walks in four innings of work.
Andrea Biedenbender opened the scoring for MLC with a solo home run in the second inning. The Knights scored their other two runs on a double by Maggie Schultz in the third inning.
Amanda Fogle led MLC's hitters with two hits in three at bats.
MLC jumped out to an early 2-0 lead in game two, but the Scots scored 11 unanswered runs to finish the sweep with an 11-2 win.
Amber Krause and MacCartney Mendolla gave MLC the lead with RBI singles in the first inning to score Madeline Scott and Biedenbender.
That would be the end of the scoring for the Knights, however, while Macalester scored once in the second, twice in the third, and four times in both the fourth and fifth innings off MLC starter Kathryn Marquardt.
Marquardt allowed 11 runs in the game on 18 hits in five innings. She struck out two and walked one.
MLC's record is now 0-2 after the two losses, while Macalester improved to 4-2 on the season.
The Knights will return to action on Thursday when they play in a two-day tournament hosted by North Central held at the Plymouth Creek Dome. The action gets underway at 8:45 a.m. against Presentation.

Topic: Transmitting files across computers
I've got a problem maybe you can help me with.
I do a lot of work on a project at both work and home and I'm trying to get admin rights to my computer, but in the interim I have to find alternate ways of transmitting my files, and I was wondering if you had any good ways about doing this. Here's the rundown:
1) USB doesn't work, hardware install banned
2) FileHosting doesn't work, proxy blocked
3) I created an upload file module on my Rails site and it sometimes works, but I'm running Rails on Webrick (my Apache stopped booting so I have to reconfig) and it's down as much as it's up
4) Email *sometimes* works, but I have to name it as a .txt (not .rar) and even then it seems to block the file sometimes (because it detects a .js in there). Problem is I won't know if it worked or not until I get home (webmail banned) and if it was blocked I lose a night of work.
I think I might have to resort to digging up some FLOPPIES! ACK! Maybe you guys know something that is pretty reliable and that I can sort of verify while I'm at work?

Lille recorded their first win of a demoralising Champions League campaign with a 2-0 success at BATE Borisov.
- Related Content
The Ligue 1 side had not taken a single point from their first four matches and had a negative goal difference of 12 going into the clash against Belorussian champions.
But they scored twice in the first half through Djibril Sidibe and Gianni Bruno and held on without conceding despite Sidibe being sent off with 15 minutes remaining.
The game started scrappily, with a series of early fouls spoiling the flow during the opening minutes.
Lille managed to put that behind them to open the scoring in the 14th minute.
BATE played their own part in the goal, Denis Polyakov clearing but failing to lift the ball beyond the waiting Sidibe, who bent the ball over goalkeeper Andrey Gorbunov and into the top corner from the edge of the area.
Vitaly Rodionov had two chances to respond in quick succession for BATE but cleared the crossbar on both occasions, the latter from only six yards.
Lille showed the value of clinical finishing in the 31st minute when Bruno found the target on his full Champions League debut.
Once again Polyakov was culpable for BATE, allowing Lucas Digne to go past him with ease on the left wing before cutting the ball back across goal for Bruno for a close-range finish.
Steeve Elana saved from Alexander Volodko after 38 minutes to keep the scores level at the break, with Ronny Rodelin and Bruno both missing fine chances for the visitors.
There was less cohesion after the break, the late flurry of chances that ended the first disappearing.
One wayward Rodelin shot was the best either side could manage as the defenders started to get a foothold in the game.
Sidibe's red card threatened to open things up again for the hosts, with a pair of yellow cards in the 48th and 75th minute responsible for his departure.
Defender Laurent Bonnart replaced the more attacking Marvin Martin as Lille attempted to close out the game and the gambit seemed to work.
Indeed, there was just one standout chance for Borisov to leave with a point - Roman Vasilyuk getting a close range shot away in the 90th minute only for Marko Basa to intercept.

Johnson reviewed the guidelines for the FWS program and found out that the program would pay for students to be placed in elementary or non-profit community service agencies for up to 20 hours of work per week. Realizing this would not only benefit the community but also the students, Johnson then set out to find partners in the program.
"When I began as FWS Coordinator, we were working with two elementary schools," said Johnson. "Now, we have contracts with 66 schools in the SCC service area. If we receive the requested increase in funding, I will need more students to fill those spots."
In addition to the 66 elementary schools now contracted to have a student placed there, Johnson has also facilitated partnerships with more than a dozen community service organizations.
"The response has been overwhelmingly positive on both sides," said Johnson. "The students love it because it gives them more working experience related to their degree and the supervisors love it because they get quality help at no cost to them."
Two schools that currently have FWS students include Central Elementary in Barbourville and Walker Elementary in Monticello. At Central Elementary, Autumn Rose and Lisa Melendez work to tutor students in reading and also administer tests as needed. At Walker Elementary, Melissa Pennycuff, Catrina Hale, Candace Stinson and Megan Daniel also assist with reading. Pennycuff rotates between four classrooms and conducts reading and writing stations. She also serves as a tutor for 15 students each day, administers computer-based reading and math sessions and assists students with general homework.
Principals at both locations agree that the partnership has been beneficial in their schools.
"The Federal Work Study program has helped us a lot, especially since we have had to reduce our budget and staff," said Central Elementary Principal Kevin Disney. "The work study students here at Central are able to assist with one-on-one reading and math sessions at the computers, so the teachers are not pulled away from the rest of the class."
"I am grateful for the Federal Work Study program. It has given me resources I wouldn't have had otherwise, and has helped meet the needs of our students," said Walker Elementary Principal Derrick Harris.
Johnson plans to continue growing the FWS program on and off-campus in the coming years. Students who would like more information on the Federal Work Study Program and non-profit organizations that would like to place FWS students at their location, should contact:
