Working with government leaders, scientists, fisheries experts, diplomats, and even survivors of shark attacks, Pew works to highlight the plight of sharks from overfishing and to urge countries to take action to conserve them.
Sharks have roamed our oceans since before the time of dinosaurs, but their long reign at the top of the ocean food chain may be ending. The onset of industrial fishing over the past 60 years has drastically depleted their populations. Of the shark and ray species assessed by scientists for the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), nearly 50 percent are threatened or near-threatened with extinction.
Every year approximately 100 million sharks are killed in commercial fisheries. The catch of shark for their fins, meat, liver oil, cartilage, and other parts remains largely unregulated in most of the world, driving some populations toward extinction.
In general, sharks grow slowly, mature late and produce few young over long lifetimes, leaving them exceptionally vulnerable to overexploitation and slow to recover from depletion. As key predators, their depletion also has risks for the health of entire ocean ecosystems. For example, tiger sharks have been linked to the quality of seagrass beds through their prey, dugongs and green sea turtles, which forage in these beds. Without tiger sharks to control their prey's foraging, an important habitat is lost.
Pew has identified the present moment as a critical time to reverse the global decline of shark populations. We work internationally to influence the fishing nations and treaty organizations that regulate high seas fisheries. In addition, we work with nations whose waters still have diverse populations of sharks to declare shark sanctuaries and to advocate for international shark conservation.

Jeff Gordon wins NASCAR finale as Brad Keselowski takes his maiden Sprint Cup title
- From: SPEED
- November 19, 2012
Brad Keselowski, who grew up in a racing family, reached the high ground of his sport Sunday, winning the Sprint Cup championship in the Ford EcoBoost 400, the final event of the season, as Jeff Gordon won the race.
Chase for the Sprint Cup Standings
|Jimmie Johnson
|Brad Keselowski
Clint Bowyer
|Kasey Kahne
|Matt Kenseth
|Jeff Gordon
|Denny Hamlin
|Tony Stewart
|Martin Truex Jr.
|Greg Biffle
|Kevin Harvick
|Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Keselowski, 28, needed only 125 Cup starts to score a championship, reaching the title level faster than anyone since Gordon in 1995.
Keselowski, who finished 15th, needed only a 15th-place finish Sunday to become the champion, and he ran in the top 15 most of the day.
Jimmie Johnson, his challenger, fell victim to double trouble. He had to repit in the second half of the race after a crew member failed to put on all lugnuts during a tire change, and he later went to the garage with a broken driveline. Johnson finished 36th and lost second place in points to Clint Bowyer, who was second in the race. Keselowski finished the season 39 points in front of Bowyer and 40 in front of Johnson.
Keselowski officially won the championship with 21 laps left in the race.
Keselowski, who is from Rochester, Michigan, won the multi-million-dollar championship in only his third full season in Cup racing. The title is the first for long-time team owner Roger Penske, who made his first entry into NASCAR racing in 1972. And, in an odd coincidence, the team won the title for Dodge, which won't be a player in NASCAR circles next year. Dodge last won the championship in 1975 when a guy named Richard Petty was driving.
Keselowski thus becomes the first driver not named Jimmie Johnson or Tony Stewart to win the championship since 2005.
Keselowski and his team began a raucous championship celebration, one enhanced by an apparent abundance of his team's sponsor, Miller Lite beer. "It's Miller Time," Keselowski yelled during a live segment on post-race television.
Johnson and his team took a shot at creating some drama near the midpoint of the race as they changed two tires instead of four during a caution-flag pit stop, putting the No. 48 in first place and potentially in a threatening fuel-strategy position. Keselowski started 16th on the restart.
That kept Johnson in front of Keselowski for a significant chunk of the race, but the difference between their positions was rarely enough to wipe out the point lead Keselowski carried into the race.
A critical moment occurred with 54 laps to go when Johnson pitted for four tires. Working a fuel strategy that could have placed him in excellent position over the closing laps, Johnson instead had to return to his pit after a NASCAR official noticed a missing lug nut on the left rear wheel of the car. That extra time dropped Johnson off the lead lap and into 25th position and essentially killed his shot at overtaking Keselowski.
It was a major snafu by a team that typically makes very few in the heat of the moment.
Its importance was muted, however, a few laps later when Johnson came onto pit road with smoke in his cockpit - apparently from a broken driveline - and then drove into the garage area, a move that virtually dropped the championship into Keselowski's lap.
"I ran a handful of laps (after pitting) and could smell some oil," Johnson said. "There was a lot of shaking in the car. I knew it was bad. I thought it was the engine."
Although there was much race-week discussion about the possibility of Bowyer exacting retribution against Gordon for last week's crash at Phoenix, the two raced side by side without incident Sunday.
Gordon beat Bowyer to the finish line for the win by 1.02 seconds.
The victory is Gordon's second of the season and the 87th of the 41-year-old's career. The win was the first for Hendrick Motorsports at Homestead, and Gordon now has won at least one race at every active Cup track except Kentucky Speedway, where he has run only twice.
"We've been really close here in the past years with some good race cars, just coming up a little bit short," Gordon said. "Today we just did all the right things. With the way this team has handled things and fought through things - great moments and pretty low moments, to be able to end the season like this is pretty amazing."
An aggressive fuel strategy put the Gordon team in position to win the race. Bowyer was gaining on him in the closing laps, but he couldn't close the gap enough to make a challenge for the lead.
Australian Marcos Ambrose finished the race in 13th after leading in the early laps from his front-row starting position.

Spiral vortices appearing in Couette-Taylor flows are studied by means of numerical simulation. Transition curves from Couette to spiral vortices for different radius ratios and wavenumbers have been calculated in order to test our technique. Critical Reynolds numbers, angular velocities and slopes of the spirals at the onset of the instability agree with previous results [1]. Non-linear solutions obtained by a pseudospectral collocation method are studied, and they show a weak net axial flow. In order to counteract this effect, which is absent in the usual experimental set-up, an axial pressure gradient has been included. This procedure has proved to be sufficient to make the axial flow negligible. The onset of a quasiperiodic flow for larger Reynolds numbers, corresponding to a secondary bifurcation is also presented.

Trajectoires de croissance et volatilité macroéconomique dans le Mercosur : quelques éléments d'analyse empirique
[eng] Alexis Saludjian — Growth trends and macro-economic volatility in the Mercosur : Some elements of empirical analysis. To determine whether or not the nature of economic integration is a vector of macro- economic volatility, it is necessary to study the characteristics of different growth patterns in the countries of the Mercosur by bringing to light established trends. Such is the purpose of this article, which assesses the performance of the zone during the 1960-2002 period and analyses the strengths and limits of each growth pattern. The Mercosur and the modalities of its development between 1991 and 2003 are given special consideration by stressing the importance of pattern change and its impact as regards macro-economic volatility.

"I bought my Caliber new in June of 2006. It now has 198,000 miles on it and runs as well as it did when new. At 6'4" and 260 lbs, I was looking for something with room, and the Caliber has it. It is painfully slow at take-off thanks to the CVT, but gas mileage is respectable and is has good storage in the back - great with the seats folded down. It is comfortable on the highway as well. I live in North Texas and have driven it to the Gulf Coast in summer, the Rocky Mountains in winter, up to Lake Michigan for vacation and a brutal number of miles in Dallas-Fort Worth traffic. It has handles asphalt, snow and sand equally well. If Dodge had not quit making them, I'd buy another. The fit and finish is cheap, I admit. It is also not at all sporty. But it looks great and if utility and comfort are your thing, it's a good choice. Mine has satellite radio, U-Connect hands free Bluetooth, 9 speaker stereo, leather seats and power sun roof. I know not everyone's experience is the same, but after 198K with only predictable upkeep and minor repairs, I'd have to add that it's pretty reliable as well."

"We let me first say the only good thing about this car is the fuel milage, with that being said, here goes. First of all if i new that low profile tires only lasted 20,000 mi. i would has kept looking for another car. Also the awd is usless because u can not find an agressive enough tire to grab in ice n snow! I put 57 miles a day on going to work and back. but all highway miles and i just had to put a new rack in it! Around 40,000 miles the control arms needed to be replaced, wishbone suspension had to be replaced last month and control arm, cruise control wont work anymome. Air bag light is on and check engine light! I baby this car and maintain it every 3,000 mi. However everytime it snows an inch or more i have to jump into my 1995 jeep cherokee with 300,000 miles on it. So tell me were the heck am i saving money by driving this small car? for the money i put into it in reppairs and tires is far mooooore than the money i save in gas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Ive owned the car for a about a year and a half and still love it! I drive it alot, have driven it 31,000 miles. It is very reliable. AMAZING HANDLING! Have not had any major problems. I love the warranty, full lifetime power train warranty. It is UNBEATABLE! I also love the cooler, 12v power outlet, AUX outlet, Ipod holder, Lit up cupholders, CVT Trans, Autostick, 18 inch wheels, sound system, fog lights, sliding armrest, 2 glove box compartments, steering wheel controls, and the AMAZING All Wheel Drive! I have also owned a 1999 Jeep Cherokee 4L 4x4, 2001 Mitsubshi Montero Limited, 2001 Land Rover Discovery II and I honestly favor the Caliber. Its all around amazing. BUY THIS CAR! Performance- Compared to other similar cars the performance is great. I gave it 4 stars because I believe they need to give it more power. The caliber has a 0-60 of a little over 10 seconds, i believe 10.1? In manual mode in first gear, the RPM's hesitates at 4,000 rpm's for a second, but after it passes 4,000 rpms in first gear it takes off. IF Dodge gave this car more power I believe they would have made a perfect car"

"I've had a few cars in the past, as well as a small truck, and the Dodge Caliber has by far been my favorite. My SXT has lots of "get-up-and-go," which I love. I've always had a thing for hatchbacks, but they usually feel so small. The Caliber doesn't drive or feel like a tiny car. It doesn't get as good fuel eceonomy as today's Hyundai's or Kia's, but with a 23/28 range, it still does pretty good. I do mostly city driving and actually average about 26 mpg; it gets even better highway. The interior is very roomy, and the 60/40 folding rear seats lets you load just about anything. I haven't taken it on any long road trips, but even on day trips the seats keep you nice and comfortable. I love the added features like the chilled drink compartment that is in the glove box as well as the lighted cup holders. I thought the lighted cup holders were a bit excessive at first, but I can't think of how many times I've been driving at night and trying to put a cup into its holder and you feel like you can never find it! The lighted cup holders really make it easy to get your cup where you need it so you can focus on driving. Overall, thanks to pretty good gas mileage and affordability, I've ranked the Dodge Caliber a 4 out of 5 stars."

DENVER (AP) Ś The head of the National Rifle Association said Thursday heĺs confident that Congress wonĺt approve an assault weapons ban or a limit on high-capacity ammunition magazines after mass shootings in Colorado and Connecticut.
David Keene predicted failure for all congressional measures related to guns, including expanded background checks for gun purchases.
ôI tell you what these things are. These are all feel-good proposals, because at the end of the day, what do they do to preventö a mass shooter? asked Keene, the NRAĺs president.
Keene was in Denver to talk to Coloradoĺs Democratic governor, John Hickenlooper, and state lawmakers. He met with The Associated Press for an interview before sitting down with state officials. He talked about prospects for federal gun control measures under discussion in Congress and predicted political peril for Democrats who support such bills.
ôThe Senateĺs where the actionĺs going to be,ö Keene said. ôThe House is sort of sitting back, and you can almost hear the House Republican leadership saying under their breath, `You know, go ahead. Weĺve got a few members that wouldnĺt mind sitting in the Senate. If you do this, maybe they will.ĺ So the Senate leadership is much more cautious.ö
Colorado U.S. Sen. Mark Udall, a Democrat, said he disagreed with Keeneĺs assertion that Congress would do nothing.
ôIn the wake of recent mass shootings, including one in Colorado, the status quo on gun violence is simply unacceptable,ö Udall said in a statement. ôColoradans expect and deserve better than continued inaction from Congress. I simply disagree that Congress cannot or should not try to reduce mass shootings and gun violence.ö
In recent weeks, Keene has become an increasingly public figure for the powerful gun rights group in the ongoing debate on gun control. He has offered a softer, if equally staunch voice for the gun lobbyĺs ideas as compared with Wayne LaPierre, the fiery executive vice president who remains the NRAĺs most prominent voice on the public stage.
Keene has been active with the NRA for decades, starting as a board member before being elected the groupĺs president in 2011.
Keene on Thursday called universal background checks a political ôsweet spotö but said the plan wonĺt work in practice. He said current background check systems are underfunded and that requiring background checks on private sales would be a logistical mess.
The NRA president indicated he wants to tour the nation and meet with more state officials about looming gun control proposals. However, he dismissed the idea of meeting with New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat who enacted the first gun control measure in the nation following the Sandy Hook school massacre.
ôThere really isnĺt any reasonable discussion you can have with him,ö Keene said of Cuomo.
Coloradoĺs governor has called for universal background checks, even on neighbor-to-neighbor sales. His gun posture has shifted somewhat from July, in the days following the Aurora movie theater shooting that killed 12 and injured dozens. Hickenlooper said then that stricter laws would not have prevented the mass shooting.
ôI think Gov. Hickenlooper had it right after the Aurora shooting,ö Keene said. ôHe said itĺs not the laws, itĺs these kinds of people.ö
Keene said James Holmes, the man charged with the attack, likely couldnĺt have been stopped, not even with expanded mental health flags in a gun database.
Holmes met with a psychiatrist before the theater shooting but reportedly was not deemed a danger. He spent months amassing an arsenal, both online and at retail gun stores, and passed background checks.
ôWhat we have argued is that if someone has been adjudicated in one way or another to have been, to be potentially violent and mentally ill, they should be in the system,ö Keene said. ôWeĺre not talking about anybody who visits a psychiatrist.ö
Hickenlooper has proposed enhanced mental health services. But he told the Democratic Legislature in a January address, ôItĺs not enough to prevent dangerous people from getting weapons.ö
Colorado Senate President John Morse also has suggested making weapons manufacturers liable for damage caused by the products they make, an idea that appears to conflict with federal law banning such liability.
ôIĺm still trying to figure out what the bill can do and how to do it,ö Morse said after meeting with Keene.
Coloradoĺs Legislature already has rejected several GOP proposals to reduce gun violence, including a bill to allow school employees to carry concealed weapons. Democrats proposed bills Thursday that would ban high-capacity magazines and clarify that concealed weapons are not allowed in colleges and stadiums.

VfB Stuttgart have gotten their man, at least temporarily. Rumored to be a Stuttgart signing for several weeks, Italian U-21 striker Federico Macheda has joined the Swabians on loan until the end of the season from Manchester United.

You all know I like to run. Many of you also know how I injured a muscle this past spring and had to take a couple weeks off. It was frustrating, it was maddening and it made me want to run more! So I understand why a young athlete might not want to let something like a little bump on the head keep him or her out of the game.
Trouble is, it may not be a little bump on the head at all. Or, that little bump on the head coupled with another little bump and another might add up to one huge problem.
If you missed our To Your Health report on concussions this week, I'm posting it below. Medical professionals are learning more and more about the effects of concussions. It used to be, you worried when someone was knocked unconscious. Even then, once they woke up and shook it off, they were back at it. Now, doctors know the brain may actually be bleeding, bruised, and if you don't take the week or two it needs to heal, you make the problem worse. As I was doing this story, parents and friends shared stories of children or other people they knew who had headaches that wouldn't go away, parts of games wiped from their memories and even one young person who had to relearn walking and talking, all because of repetitive, concussive injuries. And, of course, most of us heard about the Spring Hill football player who collapsed and never woke up.
The Kansas State High School Activities Association implemented new guidelines this year for how schools should respond to concussions. They also posted resources for parents, athletes and coaches. I urge you to check them out at http://www.kshsaa.org/Public/General/ConcussionGuidelines.cfm. However, even the best guidelines can't protect an athlete from himself or herself. Young people need to be honest with their parents, their coaches and themselves. It is hard to take yourself out of the game. You don't want to be seen as weak, you don't want to let your team down. The problem is the price you pay could be your life.
A parent posted a comment that she and her husband made the difficult decision to make their child sit out a season of sports because of repeated head injuries. She says he is mad, but she'd rather he be mad than dead. Do you think you could do the same? And is there more that should be done to protect young athletes?

A few weeks ago I wrote a column about pre-cooling for improved race performance. Top road racers Levi Leipheimer and Tejay Van Garderen used pre-cooling techniques before the Vail time trial at the USA Pro Cycling Challenge event.
I was near the 300 meter mark on the hill and caught this shot of Leipheimer shortly before he won the time trial and set a course record of 25:47.
When I went home and watched my recorded live coverage, what I noticed is that Leipheimer was wearing a pre-cooling vest during his warm-up.
With a bit of research, I found the vest is made by Game Ready. You can find more information about Radio Shack uses and the various uses of this system at this link.
Tejay Van Garderen appeared to be wearing a pre-cooling system as well, though I can't find the manufacturer of the apparent gloves.
When preparing for the Olympic Games, I recall a presentation by a company named AvaCore. Though I don't think Tejay's glove is manufactured by AvaCore, hand cooling is used due to the heat dissipation characteristics of the human hand (and sole of the foot).
None of this was covered on the one-hour show, so I was glad to have the live version recorded.
Cool! Literally.

This cartridge is a great one to have if you are looking to make the occassional card, but Walmart really needs to lower the price since it is not a full cartridge!
I have had so much fun with this program! I scrapbook and make cards, and really have enjoyed this. It was a little confusing with the layering, but once I figured it out my things came out perfect! Love it. Love it. Love it.
I really do love this cart and I am so glad I bought it but I do wish they would fix the issue with it not linking to the G and also not being able to use it with DS! Otherwise it is awesome. It covers all the big holidays and the cuts are adorable.
Celebrate with Flourish has quickly become one of my favorite Cricut cartridges! I am a card maker and the designs offered on this cart are wonderful. I especially love the layer feature. So much better than the same feature on other cartridges that I have. It makes designing cards and other paper projects much easier.
If you can only have one holiday cricut cartridge, get Celebrate with Flourish. It contains images for all the major holidays and they are adorable to boot. I have a number of cartridges and I find I need to buy one for each holiday. At least with this cartridge, everything is covered. I did find it a little pricey since it doesn't have as many images as full cartridges but ultimately, it will be worth the investment.
I am so glad I bought this cartridge...the cuts are more sophisticated than alot of the cricut cartridges and I think I will get alot of use out of it for scrapbooking and more. I just updated my DS last week and this cartridge is now loaded into DS...I purchased on cyber monday so I think the value was good.
This product was easy to use and had many great designs for different special occasions which is so convienient to have in one cartridge. I usually have to switch cartridges because I want one occasion from one and something else from another. This has all in one. Great product and a great price
This is the first time I purchased anything from Walmart on-line. The experience was EXCELLENT and the shipping costs were so low that I felt like I got quite a deal. Unfortunately the stores in our area no longer carry Cricut products so I am glad that they have provided this outlet for us.
This is a great cartridge! I'm a card maker and this has plenty of options to keep me busy. Hopefully, the Cricut Lite line will go on sale sometime because otherwise I won't be able to buy many of them.
This Cricut Cartridge has a nice selection of cuts.
The price was much less by ordering it on line (in the bundle of 2 promotion) and there was no shipping costs as I used the 'Ship to Store' option.
This cartridge has something for every holiday. A great buy if you purchase it online with another cartridge @ 2 / $30.00. Otherwise they are $39.00 each in the store.
This is a must have for everyone that has a cricut. Good for all seasons/holidays.
Great Cartridge. Especially for all the Holidays. The bundle price was great also.
Love it , it will cover each holiday make it a whole lot easier in card making
This is what I have been looking for since I bought my cricut.
I love of of the Cricut products you sell, keep em coming.
I love this cartridge! I have been waiting for it for several months - to go on sale, that is! I NEVER pay over 30 for ANY cartridge! Worth the wait when I got it for 2 for $50 during the holiday sale. Otherwise I wouldn't have been able to buy it.
What you say? So many sayings.it includes sayings for every holiday except Saint Patrick's Day.Great value, two for $50.00. Just received cartridge a week ago and it is my favorite already.. Even includes party slogans..:{)
I am a scrapaholic and love the cricut cartridges. I have been looking for this one at a good price and was thrilled to find it. Will be using it on my scrap booking weekend in January.

Hello every one,
I had written an email to delta airlines, and they said they could not send safety cards to me, as they were needed on the plane. But they also said that if I was interested on getting some, to contact:
The FAA and/or the US department of Transportation.
Do you think they would send safety cards? or is it waisted postage?
Thank you.

So I had been looking for a healthy dry cat food. I realize that it's a tall order because most dry food is not healthy at the same point in time my family is on a very tight budget I can't afford to buy canned cat food everyday. This food has been wonderful for my cat, he used to gorge on Meow Mix and when I took him to the vet then the vet said it was because his food was so empty feeling so he would keep eating to feel full. With this food my kitty doesn't over eat and instead of being fat he has slimmed down and added muscle and I've seen an inner kitten come out. This is also a great deal for cat food.
My cats are happy for it.
Cats Love This
my cat loves this and she is a very picky eater .She likes very little dry food and normally eats wet,but when i gave her a bowl of this food so that she could test it out and she began eating right away and i was very suprised.I will buy again.
My cat is in love with this food. Have tried all the others in dry food and he doesn't eat it. Love the large bag.
This stuff is a good value for the money if your cats will eat it. Not the best ingredients however the price is good. if you are looking for high quality better buy more expensive food but otherwise worth a try especially if you have a lot of cats and trying to save dollars on food.
This is the only dry food my daughter's cats will eat.
it is okay. the cats eat it.
Normally the dry food my cats seem to like best is by Purina, which is two different ones, their Cat Chow Complete and Naturals, but I offered them some of this. They eat it occasionally but the stray cats seem to like it better. Not to mention the possum that visits as well. It's a good quality dry food, none of my cats ever threw it up, can't say the same for Naturals or Cat Chow. A good value for the price and I received the delivery of my entire order before the estimated ship date.

'Fat Chef' is more serious than the crass title would suggest
When I heard the title "Fat Chef" (Thurs. 10 p.m. ET, Food Network) at first I thought it might be the latest addition to Adult Swim's programming block or something new from Seth MacFarlane. When I realized it was a reality show, I assumed it was going to involve the usual weight loss TV tropes -- humiliating Spandex workout gear, teary-eyed confessions, weird challenges and possibly an angry trainer who screams a lot. "Fat Chef" hits some of those marks (you can only color so far outside of the lines with a reality TV show), but to its credit, it doesn't live up to its cheesy title.
Where this show differs from "The Biggest Loser" and other weight loss shows is in the premise -- these aren't just people who want to lose weight, but chefs who want to lose weight. While it's no cakewalk for anyone to shed pounds, it seems like it must be a special kind of hell for someone to be surrounded by rich food (I'm guessing most of these chefs don't work at health food restaurants) all day.
Plus, if we've learned anything from "Top Chef," "Hell's Kitchen" and the like, it's that being a chef is a high stress job that rarely allows time for water cooler chit chat (but, seemingly, lots of time for cigarette breaks). Add to that the issue the complication that these are usually people who love food so much that they wanted to make it their livelihood. This isn't a question of telling someone to put down the Ding-Dong and hit the treadmill -- it's a matter of making each dieter reassess their greatest passion. As one chef says, "It's like an alcoholic living in a liquor store."
Not surprisingly, the chefs on the show seem to be plagued by cravings -- good steaks, salted caramel ice cream, gooey side dishes and so on. The problem, of course, is they can't toss these items from their refrigerators and move on but must instead face down their demons in the workplace. Needless to say, the show features its fair share of meltdowns and, yes, less-than-successes. When Kimberly makes her final weigh in, she falls far short of her initial goal despite her determination in putting a happy face on the situation. Disappointing, yes, but probably an outcome that will ring true to more than a few yo-yo dieters watching at home.
Fortunately, there's no cloying host or shrieking trainer to pull confessions out of our chefs. Other than a voice-over narration and specialists who seem more nurturing than dictatorial, there's little effort (at least that we see) to push our chefs to the brink of sanity. Instead, the reasons why our chefs eat to excess usually tumble out more organically -- and when the chef in question doesn't want to blurt out every detail of his or her personal life, there's no pushback. During one episode, Kimberly admits her childhood was traumatic -- but refuses to give details. Her trainer responds like a human being instead of a ratings whore and does the only logical thing -- he offers words of comfort and a hug. It may not be titilating, but it's refreshing.
It is, of course, ironic that the Food Network would program any show about the ill effects of excessive eating, and unsurprisingly "Fat Chef" is sandwiched between series that probably feature a fair amount of decadent deliciousness (at 9 p.m. is the chef competition show "Chopped" and at 11 p.m. is "Cupcake Wars."). Whether viewers will gobble up the chance to watch marginally obese people sweating and denying themselves when they really want to scribble down a recipe for buttercream frosting is anyone's guess. But, like a tiny oasis of sushi-grade salmon and celery sticks, "Fat Chef" may be a very nice palate cleanser.

USO of North Carolina's Golf Tournament and "Un-Valentine's Day" Auction a Huge Success
[caption id="attachment_2180" align="alignright" width="270" caption="On Friday, community leaders and golf enthusiasts converged at the Jacksonville Country Club for Marine Federal Credit Union's 16th annual golf tournament, a fundraiser supporting Hope for the Warriors and the USO. (Photo courtesy of Don Bryan/The Daily News)"][/caption]
Ten bachelors and bachelorettes - all current or former service members - went on the auction block for a good cause: the USO of Jacksonville's first "Un-Valentine's Day" auction. Winning bidders received a date and the Troops serving overseas will be recipients of care packages.
Even a local newscaster got in on the action! As reported by Eyewitness News 9 in Charlotte, NC: "Nine On Your Side's Arthur Mondale who served in Iraq in 2003, is an Air Force veteran who wound up on the auction block as well. 'It's not about how much money you raise, because one dollar that we raise tonight is more than I had ten minutes before that,' said USO of North Carolina Director John Falkenbury. 'It is about taking care of our men and women in uniform.'"
This auction, combined with a golf tournament held earlier in the week, netted $55,000 for USO programs. JDNews.com covered the event, as "community leaders and golf enthusiasts converged at the Jacksonville Country Club for Marine Federal Credit Union's 16th annual golf tournament, a fundraiser supporting Hope for the Warriors and the USO…Golfers came from as far away as Pittsburgh, Pa.; Charlotte; and Beaufort, S.C., to participate.
Retired Maj. Gen. Robert Dickerson, executive vice president of Marine Federal, said that the day's turnout should change the minds of anyone who didn't believe that the community cared for its wounded veterans."
Job well done to all of those involved. Check out the auction action in the video below!

The New Rock Solid Faith Study Bible for Teens
Teenagers today admit that they are feeling uncertain and insecure about their lives, the world, and their futures.
To address these important issues for teens and to provide traction for their beliefs and promises for their futures, Zondervan created the Rock Solid Faith Study Bible for Teens. This innovative edition of the New International Version helps teens face their questions head on and build a steadfast foundation for their faith. With the Rock Solid Bible, teens discover constant and concrete truths rooted in the unchanging love, guidance, and promises of God.
This all-new Bible features the complete NIV text, as well as other insightful and informative inserts such as:
• Rock Solid Truths that examine Christian beliefs and explorations of other religions;
• Rock Solid Principles that apply the Bible to relationships, sex, money, and more;
• Rock Solid Promises that call out what is (and is not) promised in the Scriptures;
• Rock Solid Plans that explore God's plan for daily life;
• Unshaken People that provide scriptural examples of overcoming challenges; and
• Unshaken God that points out God's amazing and unyielding attributes.
In addition, readers will find easy to understand apologetics, reading plans, eight pages of full-color maps, Bible book introductions, and many other insightful features to help teens grapple with big questions about the world, their futures, and their faith.
Scheduled to release in August 2012, Zondervan plans to provide the Rock Solid Faith Study Bible for Teens in three printed formats—a hardcover ($29.99) and two Italian duo-tone designs with cool printed page edges ($44.99)—as well as an ebook version ($14.99). It's the perfect gift for every teen whose heart and life needs reassurance in the midst of our disturbing times.

THE POSITIVIST AND INTERPRETIVE PARADIGMS IN SOCIAL RESEARCH"Perplexity is the beginning of knowledge" Kahlil Gibran
Text based on Case narrative, Heyman, 2009, pp.29-30.
Here some definitions:
"It comes from Greek 'παράδειγμα'(paradeigma), 'pattern, example, sample' from the verb 'παραδείκνυμι'(paradeiknumi), 'exhibit, represent, expose' and that from 'παρά'(para), :beside, beyond' + 'δείνυμι' (deiknumi), 'to show, to point out' (Wikipedia, 2011, para.1).
"A philosophical and theoretical framework of a scientific school or discipline within which theories, laws, and generalizations and the experiments performed in support of them are formulated; broadly: a philosophical or theoretical framework of any kind" (Merriam Webster online).
"It is a comprehensive belief system, world view, or framework that guides research and practice in a field" (Willis, 2007, p.8).
Image from website http://listverse.com/2007/11/24/top-10-schools-of-philosophy/
"Positivism developed as a response to the religious and magical understanding of the world during the middle age period" (Willis, 2007, p.32). Scientific rigor is in fact its landmark. The ideas and foundations of positivism were initially defined by the French philosopher Auguste Comte during the seventeenth-century (Willis, 2007), and according to this paradigm social phenomena can be studied, measured and understood like physical objects by using scientific methods. As Émile Durkheim stated, social facts have to be considered like "things", which exist independently from human beings and they are meaningless (Lazar, 1998).
All reality is meaningless, independent from human feelings, ideas, perceptions.
Social phenomena have to be treated like physical objects.
Knowledge is value-free, objective, measurable.
Knowledge can only be accessed through a scientific approach.
"The world can be objectively experienced and described" (Heyman, 2009, p.95).
Describing, predicting, explaining or controlling social phenomena.
Finding universals, laws of cause and effect, generalizing, replicating findings.
Scientific approach based mainly on quantitative methods, statistics, surveys, experiments, questions and hypothesis subject to empirical testing and verification (Guba and Lincoln, 1994, as cited in Ryba, 2009). Qualitative methods such as observation can also be used by positivist researchers, but their assumptions and views are based on a reality which can be objectively described and researched.
East Side Gallery, Berlin, Germany: Some paintings on the East side of the remaining Berlin Wall interpreting the end of the Cold War, the idea of freedom, peace.
"Test the best", Birgit Kinder, September 1998
"Curriculum Vitae", Susanne Kunjappu-Jellinek, September 1998
"Parlo d'Amor", Ignasi Blanch i Gispert, May 2000
"Interpretivism developed as a response to the objectivism and excessive rationalization of the positivist approach" (Willis, 2007, p.51). Broadly speaking they believe that social phenomena cannot be studied like physical objects; they cannot be measured or predicted. It is not possible to quantify the subjectivity and individuality of human beings, their thoughts, ideas, perceptions. Reality is interpreted through the eyes of each individual within a specific situation or context and it becomes meaningful.
Reality is meaningful, and "is socially constructed by the individuals who participate in it" (Gall et al., 1996, as cited in Willis, 2007, p.96).
"There is not one absolute truth, but different truths and realities" (Lazar, 1998, p.20).
Knowledge is subjective, dependent on human minds, values, perceptions and is related to a specific context.
"There is no particular right or correct path to knowledge, no special method that automatically leads to intellectual progress" (Smith, 1993, as cited in Willis, 2007, p.109).
"Understanding and making sense of social phenomena and their contexts much more than the discovery of universal laws or rules" (Willis, 2007, p.99).
Exploring the reality people experience.
"Identifying the social meanings of phenomena and how those meanings are related to people's social actions" (Wotherspoon, 1998, p.20).
Mainly use of qualitative methods. However the dichotomy Positivism vs. Quantitative methods and Interpretivism vs. Qualitative methods is not always appropriate. Within the interpretivist paradigm any method would be considered acceptable, even quantitative procedures (Willis, 2007). The difference between them and the positivists is essentially in the way they analyze results from the research; whatever method has been used, they start from the assumption that the results are always subjective and cannot be used to describe a uniform and standard reality (Willis, 2007).
Immersed in the natural setting of the research, more interaction with the researched and participants.
The role of the researcher cannot be neutral, but research also depends on the subjective views and stances of the researcher.
Here some strengths and weaknesses we identified during our readings and course. However, this list simply represents our points of view in the sense that the way to consider, if some aspects are a strength or a weakness, can be in certain cases quite subjective and it depends also on how reality and knowledge are perceived.

Utah Jazz muster lackluster effort in 'Nawlins'
Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS — The Utah Jazz did it again.
Ha. Good one.
Play inconsistently, lose focus, fall apart on the road, show a lack of effort and make fans scream at TVs and computers while losing to a vastly inferior and undermanned team?
Yep. That's it.
"It just feels like a dream," Jazz center Al Jefferson said. "I wish I could wake up."
Unfortunately, Utah players and coaches can't pinch themselves out of this nightmare.
A night after looking like a sure-bet playoff team in a 10-point win at Memphis, the Jazz looked as awkward and out of sorts as a couple of wholesome missionaries on Bourbon Street.
And, yes, they did that against a four-win team.
Scratch that. The New Orleans Hornets improved to a lofty 5-23 with this unlikely 86-80 win over a terrific-one-night-terrible-the-next Jazz squad.
Embarrassing. Surprised. Disappointing.
Beyond disappointing. Flat. No excuse.
Lack of concentration. Wheels fell off. Heads weren't into it.
By the way, these weren't a sports writer's words to describe getting stung by a Hornets team that had lost 23 of 25 coming into Monday's game.
These descriptions of this devastating and demoralizing defeat came from the Jazz, who blew an opportunity to build on momentum gained (or apparently not) from Sunday's nice win over the Grizzlies.
"We should be ashamed of ourselves, I know that," Jefferson said. "We just didn't play like we wanted tonight. There's no way in the world we should've lost to that team. But we did."
The Jazz weren't playing incredibly well, but they did take an early eight-point lead and looked well on their way to cruising into Oklahoma City with wins in their first two road games in this back-to-back-to-back set.
After all, NBA-owned New Orleans had dropped eight straight.
Plus, because of injuries, the post-Chris-Paul-era Hornets were without key players like Eric Gordon, Emeka Okafor, Carl Landry and Jarrett Jack.
Sound familiar?
And, no, they didn't have someone named Jeremy Lin hiding on the bench.
But they did have Chris Kaman, who scored 27 points, hauled in 13 rebounds and was instrumental in turning Utah's eight-point lead into a 20-point lead of their own.
New Orleans also had somebody named Gustavo Ayon calling for the ball and Marco Belinelli, who each contributed 13 points. Greivis Vasquez had 12 points and 10 assists — more dimes than the entire starting Jazz squad had in their pockets by the end.
"No disrespect to New Orleans," Jefferson said, "(but) it's like New York. They was missing some key players and I guess we just walked out there thinking they were going to let us win. We just can't do that."
Or they'll lose by six points to a team that's so bad — second-worst to three-win Charlotte — it even hurt its own lottery chances by beating the 14-13 Jazz.
"For right now, it's the most disappointing (loss) for me," a stunned Jazz coach Tyrone Corbin said. "It's tough after the way we played last night. I just didn't expect us to come out with this effort."
Or lack thereof — especially in the middle of the game when the Jazz had successive 15-point quarters and their offense was off searching for a Mardi Gras parade or beads or something other than executing properly.

I don't know how to make the header fill the entire page width, someone can help me? (my header it's a image .jpg).
I don't know how to make the header fill the entire page width, someone can help me? (my header it's a image .jpg).
First thing you do is remove the constrains of the 980px width that is holding that section.
#page { width: auto; }
Next is you reconstrain the rest of the items 'except' the #header
#menubar-wrapper, #breadcrumb-wrapper, #content-wrapper, #footer { width: 980px; margin: 0 auto; }
That will make the #header { } not be constrained by 980px and you can then make it as wide as you want.
However, you're going to find that it's going to mess up the look on almost all browsers, if those browsers were to minimiaze their width and not be full screen all the time, especially mobile browsers.
Putting the wide image in the #page-wrap would be more appropriate and then just padding the #header section to have it display
How do i edit the css of my image? I need to my background to repeat-x.
if you're using appearance -> header; there's options on its page for that
Apologies I am very new to wordpress and I am using easel.
I have made a few modifications and I am happy with the results so far.
I would just like to know where you would make the above edits.
The jetpack plugin has an "Edit CSS" ability or you can use a child theme and add it to the child theme's style.css

Hydration packs are essentially rucksacks with a specific place to hold a drinks bladder and drinking pipe. Hydration packs vary in both size and in abundance of features. You can get small, minimalist packs. You can get massive, compartmentalised, feature-laden packs. The size of hydration packs is usually measured in litres of capacity. Most hydration packs feature a larger main compartment with minimal compartmentalisation. This is used for stowing your larger items (spare clothes, pump, inner tubes etc). Then there is the smaller, secondary compartment which is often compartmentalised into different pockets and sleeves for various smaller items such as tools, puncture repair kit etc. Some hydration packs come with bladders supplied. Others require you to purchase a bladder separately. The bite valve on the end of the drinking pipe usually has some sort of locking/off mechanism to stop any liquid coming out when it shouldn't do (when the bag's lying on the ground or in the back of your car etc). We stock loads of packs from Camelbak and also other brands such as Evoc.

Everything That's Wrong With This Country
Cindy Sheehan was invited to attend Bush's State of the Union speech tonight.
Bay Area Congresswoman Lynn Woosley gave the anti-war activist a gallery pass late Tuesday, just hours before the planned State of the Union speech. Sheehan was in Washington to protest the president during his national address, but then came word she was invited to see the speech live.
A spokesman for Sheehan says she decided to accept the invitation two hours prior to the speech. The spokesman also said that Sheehan will be respectful and listen to the address because she is a guest of a member of congress.
That could be problematic for Bushimagine if the cameras cut away to Sheehan, or ifGod forbidshe made a scene during his speech. So Bush had Sheehan arrested. No Sheehan, no problem.
Cindy Sheehan, the mother of a fallen soldier in Iraq who reinvigorated the anti-war movement, was arrested and removed from the House gallery Tuesday night just before President Bush's State of the Union address, a police spokeswoman said.
Her crime? She wore a t-shirt with an anti-war slogan. Can't have that.

It's over.
It's over.
That's it. We're done. For good.
Don't get too bummed or excited we're just talking about being done with the "Option Paralysis" cycle.
Come the fuck on...did you think we would actually stop THIS peacefully? Let's be serious, you're probably not getting any relief from us until we're dead.
The point is that what began in 2009(holy shit) is completed. We started writing for "Option..." in early 2009, recorded it in late 2009, and then started touring in December 2009 to officially begin the album cycle. Well...we didn't really expect to keep going until May of 2012....but if you've been around for a while and you aren't new to our habits then you know that once we start touring we kinda have a problem stopping. We're tour junkies. The adrenaline overload you get from a nightly DEP show makes coming off tour a little like what would happen if you were to try to get off of a six week long indoor strobe-lit roller coaster...in hell...if hell was insanely fun and as addictive as a chocolate coated crack pipe. So whenever we attempt to stop...we find that we just can't sit still or stay outta trouble....so we go back out. Then things come up that are too killer not to do, like the tour with our friends in the Deftones and then with Mastodon...and then again with Mastodon...that we can't say no to...and it just keeps going. I'm serious when I say that we've "stopped" this album cycle in our minds like four times in the past year and a half...but then we just can't stay home. But now we're saying that's it. We're done. Publicly. So you can hold it to us that we're gonna hole up and get weird and go deep into the darkest realms of our collective psyche until the next album is done. We may play a show here and there, just to break the monotony and inject some fresh air into our lungs, but that doesn't count! So...the Option Paralysis cycle, including writing and recording, went from March 2009 to May of 2012....with the touring officially going from December 2009 to May of 2012. Fuck...that's the longest stretch of relentless shows we've done since the stretch right after Irony Is A Dead scene that went up and then pretty much morphed into the Miss Machine cycle. Our fire keeps growing and we just can't put it out...or maybe it's an itch. You got a cream for that? Whatever it is, I don't know what the fuck is wrong with us, but when you're this far down into the journey to the center of Nutsville I guess you just keep going 'til you get to the core. So...with that being said...we're gonna tend to the business of writing what will end up being the next release. There's still some places we need to go with this whole Dillinger thing, some avenues and dark paths still unexplored/undiscovered and some doors left unopened that we still feel the need to bust down, some hearing left to be destroyed, some sanity left to lose, some demons left to expel...or possibly make friends with....you get the drill.
We've been through a ton as people and as a band in the last three years since we started writing "Option", and played...oh I dunno.....a half thousand shows? So if the end of "43%" goes on for ONE minute, and we've played that 500 times in the last two and a half years...then we played that part for eight and a half fucking HOURS. SHIT YEAH TAKE THAT SHIT BITCHES. IN YOUR FACE. "DESTROYERRRRR"....again....five hundred times.....and we're STILL not tired of it so don't make us go back on tour....we'll fucking do it! Damn it.... no! That's it, that is it, that is IT! For real we're done. SERIOUSLY!! But yeah back to the point. We wanna thank all of you....longtimers, new peeps, first showgoers, fiftieth showgoers....you're all friends or extended family or cousins fourteen times removed...somethin' like that....and we're grateful for having seen, met, screamed with, and sweat with so many of you. Also for all the inner circle friends and family still out there or recently sucked into our weird lives...what are you doing?! Get away from this black hole now while you can! No...for real though...thanks...we're beyond grateful....we'd love you if we could....but we're terminators and terminators are incapable of emotion. Unless the name of that emotion is "being an ice cold killing machine".
We're still gonna get the rest of the Option Paralysis

One may not answer אמן to a ברכה until the ברכה is totally finished. Too often the חזן lengthens out the last word of the ,ברכה particularly on ראש חודש or יום טוב and the מתפללים answer before the חזן is done. Where is the source for not answering אמן to a ברכה until it is totally finished, and what can the חזן do to avoid this problem?

It's called an אמן חטופה and the Rambam (Hil. Brachot 1:14) already codifies it.
The source is from Brachot 47a. As the Kitzur Shulchan Aruch (6:10) defines it:
See Shulchan Aruch 124:8 that אמן חטופה seems to have 2 meanings: Either swallowing the Alef or answering too early.
The חזן can educate the congregation - for example, pausing before the last word - while the early birds answer Amen - and then singing the last word. After a while the congregation will realize.
As in "Hamevarech Eth Amo Yisrae-e-e-e-e-e-e-l" - pause while the early birds answer Amen - "BaShalo-o-o-o-o-o-o-m". Ame-e-e-e-en.

I need to find the type of object pointed by pointer. Code is as below.
//pWindow is pointer to either base Window object or derived Window objects like //Window_Derived.
const char* windowName = typeid(*pWindow).name();
if(strcmp(windowName, typeid(Window).name()) == 0)
// ...
else if(strcmp(windowName, typeid(Window_Derived).name()) == 0)
// ...
As i can't use switch statement for comparing string, i am forced to use if else chain. But as the number of window types i have is high, this if else chain is becoming too lengthy. Can we check the window type using switch or an easier method ?
EDIT: Am working in a logger module. I thought, logger should not call derived class virtual function for logging purpose. It should do on its own. So i dropped virtual function approach.
