Sparrow is the name given to several unrelated groups of birds. Sparrows are classified in 3 families: Emberizidae, which includes New World sparrows; Estrildidae; and Passeridae, which includes the familiar house sparrow. About 25 species of the family Emberizidae regularly occur in Canada.
Sparrows are small to medium-sized, ranging in length from LeConte's sparrow (Ammodramus leconteii), as small as 11 cm, to the spotted towhee (Pipilo maculatus), up to 21 cm.
Generally, sparrows have dull plumage with distinctive head markings; the exceptions are the brightly coloured towhees and the sharply patterned juncos. Males and females of most species are similar in size and plumage; for example, male and female song sparrows (Melospiza melodia), widespread in Canada, are virtually indistinguishable by plumage alone.
Usually, only males sing; thus a singing song sparrow is almost certainly male. Songs differ considerably among species. Lark sparrows (Chondestes grammacus), of dry fields with scattered bushes and trees, sing long, melodious songs containing many trills. White-throated sparrows (Zonotrichia albicollis), of coniferous and mixed forests, utter songs of pure tone; one rendition, paraphrased as "Oh sweet Canada Canada Canada," has given them the local name Canada bird. Grasshopper sparrows (A. savannarum), of grassy fields in extreme southern Canada, give tuneless, insectlike reelings. Henslow's sparrow (A. henslowii), of weedy fields of southern Ontario, gives one of the poorest vocal efforts of any bird, a hiccoughing "tsi-lick."
Primarily ground feeders, sparrows eat mostly seeds, although insects are eaten in summer. Adults of most species feed insects to young.
All species of sparrows in Canada are migratory to some extent. American tree sparrows (Spizella arborea) nest in scrub willow of the Subarctic and winter in southern Canada and northern US. Clay-coloured sparrows (S. pallida), of brush-covered prairies, winter in Mexico. The Ipswich sparrow (Passerculus sandwichensis princeps), a well-marked subspecies of the widely distributed savannah sparrow (P. sandwichensis), breeds only on Sable Island and winters on the Atlantic seaboard.

-- Short and Sweet Walk – Cala Conta – Wednesday February 4 at 10.30
Short and Sweet Walk – Cala Conta – Wednesday February 4 at 10.30AUTHOR: Toby Clarke // CATEGORY: Community Walks No Comments
We've got a wonderful list of walks this week and we hope to see as many of you as possible on all four of them!
Beginning with our extremely popular Short & Sweet Walk – now every Wednesday – led by my lovely mum Sheila on February 4, we'll set off from beautiful Cala Conta and explore stunning hidden beaches then head along the coastline to the famous pirate tower before venturing back through lush green forest.
This area is spectacular and the walk is perfect for those who prefer a shorter expedition with maximum enjoyment. There will of course be delicious homemade cake and tea at the end to reward you all. Yum!
We set off from Sunset Ashram, Cala Conta at 10.30 on Wednesday February 4.
MEETING POINT: Sunset Ashram
GOOGLE MAP: http://bit.ly/1xxIZxV
This walk is approximately 5km and takes around two hours. It's a very flat walk on good paths with no hills although there are some loose stones underfoot.
What to bring:
a small backpack for:
– lots of water
– snacks to keep you going
– good footwear that has been worn in.
– rain jacket (just in case)
The walks are by donation (suggested €10 per person) or what you feel the guided walk is worth to you. Or very happy to do exchanges….or jars of marmalade, dark chocolate….hugs…everything appreciated!
DOGS: If you have a lovely well trained dog please bring them along. They will need to be on a lead at certain points.
INSURANCE: I have liability insurance, but your safety is your responsibility and you must ensure you are covered by medical insurance prior to coming on the walk.
KNOW A WALK? I am also looking for guest guides, so if you know a suitable walk for a group please let me know and help lead a walk!
Let me know if you have any questions.
Love and hugs

OMG! Martha Stewart is doing a thing on bloggers and will be linking to several blogs from hers. In order to be considered you must leave her a comment and then link to her blog from your own. I'm so IN!!!
In other news:
1. My laptop is finally fixed but I probably will not resume regular posting until tomorrow. I'm sorry it took so long but I apparently royally messed it up. The tech at work says it's not my fault, but I'm sure it is.
2. I'm still not preg and therefore in a bad mood today. Hopefully, a little birthday party for my grandmother tonight will make me feel better. For now, I'm just down in the dumps. Blah!!
3. I have been rather crafty for the past several days: sealing and backing shrink plastic charms, helping the nieces make cards for my grandmother, making my own cards, and creating a few necklaces. See. . . CRAFTY Hope (that's me)I even did all this before work, in the morning (shudder.) Those that know me well know that for me to accomplish ANYTHING in the morning is an accomplishment indeed. Be proud, be very proud.
I guess that's all for now. I hope you all are doing great!!

This quote from the article illustrates how the writer got it wrong: "Bottom line: Tesla builds cars ... on an assembly line ... and then delivers them to customers. They're fast and networked and everyone loves them. But the business model ultimately isn't that different from what Henry Ford cooked up for the Model T." Wrong. In fact Tesla is an energy storage and management company that has started out building cars, fantastic cars and Tesla will continue to build more and more of the , but is now branching out into building batteries for a variety of purposes. That business is likely to become much larger than the Tesla car business, which is why Tesla has already decided to expand their enormous Nevada battery factory and make it even more staggeringly enormous.

Amazon charges penny shipping in France to bypass ban
Small book stores in France have won the backing of parliament, in the sense that big online retailers of books like Amazon could no longer give customers free shipping. Amazon has adjusted its shipping rates to follow the law, but not in the way intended.
The new law in France aims to encourage buyers to shop locally by removing the perk of free shipping -- if you have to pay extra to have a book shipped, after all, you might be more inclined to mosey on down to the nearest book shop and grab it in person.
The ban on free shipping started last week, and in response Amazon has attached a fixed shipping rate to book orders in the nation: one centime (that is, one penny). Thusly, while no longer being able to brag free shipping on book orders, the retailer still offers a big incentive to shoppers.
Amazon is now in accordance with the law -- whether France will respond in turn and make adjustments to force higher shipping rates isn't clear. For now, however, it is score 1 for the Internet retailer.

Bourbon invests in training
Besides ordering 110 vessels for its offshore services fleet, Paris-based Bourbon is in the process of doubling its workforce. It will recruit over 4,000 seamen by 2010, half of them officers.
That creates a training challenge.
Two simulators, one in France and the other in the Philippines, will be used by Bourbon to train captains, chief engineers and bridge officers in all maneuvers and exercises.
The simulators have been developed by Bourbon in collaboration with the Offshore Simulator Center in Aalesund, Norway,
Featuring a recreation of a real bridge and realistic visual supports, this simulator can reproduce an almost real situation on both visual and sensory levels.
The simulator systems allow "full mission" training, where crew members on deck and operators may engage in the simulation in addition to the navigators and other bridge crew such as winch operators.
Bourbon is using this technology and developing special training programs in anchor handling operations on tug supply vessels (AHTS).
The two simulators will facilitate standardized training programs worldwide for all Bourbon crews in a context in which the fleet is increasingly standardized thanks to a newbuilding expansion featuring long series of identical vessels.
"These simulators are a major innovation," stresses Thierry Buzulier, Bourbon Human Resources Manager. "They will allow our officers, after an initial training period at sea, to master Bourbon operational standards onshore, in addition to the safety training course. The Offshore training centers which will be based, among other components, on these two simulators, will very rapidly become essential, not only for new employees, but also with a view to the promotion of officers already in service."
After initiating in Marseilles, in 2004, in partnership with local and national institutions, the first training center for Dynamic Positioning accessible to all shipbuilders and seamen, Bourbon is now creating the Bourbon-Hydro Offshore Oil Training Center. This training center, dedicated to offshore oil and gas marine services, will be fully operational by the end of 2007 and will include, in addition to the existing programs, an anchor-handling operations simulator for AHTS specialized vessels.
In 2008, an identical system will be developed in Manila in the Philippines. This center will give Bourbon a centralized and standard training policy in its recruitment and operational zones in Asia.
Three Bourbon "school-vessels" will accelerate training in the operating zones of West Africa, Asia and Latin America.
Certified by the Nautical Institute, they will be true mobile training centers that give Bourbon maximum flexibility in meeting training needs in these high growth zones.
Bourbon is also working to set up partnerships with local training centers, such with the private GEPMARE marine training school as in Cameroon, which is supported by Bourbon.
Generally, in the regions where Bourbon operates, a policy of recruitment and training adapted to the local context is studied, set up and put in place. In the absence of certified local structures, other facilities are used. Training for Angolan officers is, for example, organized in the best schools in South Africa and Nigerian officers can receive training in dynamic positioning in Singapore.
"Our goal is to offer the most demanding customers, everywhere in the world, excellent services on a full range of new-generation vessels. To achieve this, and in line with the Horizon 2010 strategic plan, recruitment and training will comply with Bourbon's highest standards of quality and excellence," says Christian Lefevre, Bourbon Chief Operating Officer and Deputy CEO of the Offshore Division.

After a couple of hours, and $329 later, the problem still wasn't solved and the plumber was telling us that he thought he couldn't get his line to go through because the pipe had either shifted or broken. He felt the cost would be starting at 5k and go up from there to fix it.
Needless to say, after spending money on gifts that sent us into a panic! We had to call off our visit with the extended family because you couldn't flush toilet paper down the toilet without risk of it backing up again! I posted on Facebook that I was in need of a plumber and to please send me the info of anyone that my friends might know.
Long story short....(too late) I was flooded with private messages and contacts from lots of long time friends suggesting people they knew or were related to and could trust. My friend since childhood Mike is a plumber and contacted me himself. Over the phone he spoke with my husband and told him he has never heard of that happening that far from the house, and it would be HIGHLY unlikely that was the problem. After only about a half hour here, he had the entire problem resolved, and all it involved was some expertise and rooting the line! He was able to get a 4 inch blade through the pipe!! Broken my You know what!! Anyway a big Thanks to my Buddy Mike Freier again!! You have no idea how much you helped us out!
Since that day, I have been just taking it easy and re-evaluating/reflecting and praying on my life. I realize that it is time for some SERIOUS change! That is a post for another day.
Now, on to the fun we had last night. I was clipping coupons and just finished watching my Jill Cataldo DVD that I received for Christmas from my Aunt Sue, (thanks again it was awesome). I decided I was cold and wanted something warm to drink. My Daughter followed me upstairs and we decided, spur of the moment to have a tea party before bed.
|We brought down our individual tea pots from the top of the kitchen cabinet, gave them a good wash and set up our tray for our tea service.
Here is the book she came out of her very PINK room with.
|Sorry about the glare, these pics were all taken from my iPhone. Is this cute or what?
She decided to serve our tea, but first had to run back to her room to get these...
|All proper ladies serve tea with white gloves on, don't you know?
After we daintily sipped our tea, we decided to start reading the book. She insisted I take pictures of all the neat pages that have pull-outs or pop-ups. SHE LOVES pop-up books. Every time I am at the library with her, we spend hours searching for pop-up books and wind up sitting on the floor between aisles pouring over all our finds!
Here are all the pages she had me photograph....
|Our book had lots to say about character, kindness, thoughtfulness, and it ended with a true princess always smiles and lets her character shine through to the world.
|I don't know about you, but I am pretty sure I have the "real deal" here! Look at that lovely smile. :)
The majority of this week has been spent reflecting and praying about life and some changes that need to be made. My Sons and Daughter are for sure THE most precious things in the world to me....one of the changes NEEDS to be, spending more time doing things with them that THEY enjoy. I spend lots of time with my kids, but not necessarily doing things that they enjoy doing....more like making them suffer through things I like doing. Or things I feel need to be done. I realize that it doesn't need to be some extravagant thing all the time either. This little tea party cost NOTHING! But will always be a treasured moment.
Happy New Year!
<3 Paula

The East Resurgent: Why Karate, Taekwondo and Judo Are Making a Comeback in MMAMarch 27, 2012
If we were to examine the styles most commonly adopted by Mixed Martial Arts competitors it would be difficult not to conclude that Muay Thai, wrestling and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu lie at the core of our sport.
Indeed, it is debatable whether any successful competitor can claim total ignorance of these disciplines, so embedded are they in our new, international fighting culture - if MMA is, as some commentators argue, becoming a "style" in its own right, then our very own Frankenstein's monster is wielding Thai kicks, shooting thunderous doubles and rending flesh from bone with Rio's slickest subs.
This much is undoubtedly true, yet, as any martial arts fan will excitedly tell you, the Octagon is becoming increasingly crowded as of late - Thai, wrestling and BJJ are losing their hold on the center of the cage, being forced to share the limelight with techniques drawn from a range of previously marginalized disciplines.
The world's fastest-growing, fastest-changing sport is on the move once again, leading us to ask which styles fighters are using to broaden their combative horizons, and why? Why are fighters using Karate footwork, Taekwondo kicks and Judo throws over say, movements drawn from Shaolin Kung Fu and Aikido? To find out, we must examine what these re-emerging styles offer the aspiring fighter, also discussing why knowledge of the "big three" alone will never lead a competitor to success from this point onwards.
We will first examine both Karate and Taekwondo, highlighting aspects of these arts which can push an MMA fighter's game to the next level.
Our first point of note relates to stances and footwork - while Thai fighters have become famous for their plodding, stalking movement, we are now seeing fewer and fewer fighters achieving success with this approach.
The striking game is changing - has already changed, in fact, selecting fighters who use the more hand-oriented "Dutch style" of kickboxing over proponents of pure Muay Thai.
With 4oz gloves and increasingly-skilled competitors, successful fighters increasingly eschew the "rock-em-sock-em robots" approach, looking instead for ways to avoid being hit; Karate is of obvious interest to those who seek to improve their evasive movement - many Japanese styles like Wado-Ryu and Shotokan emphasize diagonal movement and "in and out" footwork, allowing competitors to augment their traditional boxing/kickboxing defense with a sophisticated method of cutting angles, leaving opponents with nothing but air to counter.
Alongside Taekwondo, Karate training also provides strikers with the ability to fire "chambered" kicks, circumventing the need to "switch step" and telegraph the slower, albeit more powerful, Thai kicks we normally associate with MMA. Indeed, a new generation of fighters are beginning to add Taekwondo to their training, following in the footsteps of Anderson Silva, Ben Henderson and Anthony Pettis by diversifying their kicking game and reaping the multiple benefits of improved leg dexterity in the cage.
No-one is suggesting that boxing and Muay Thai have become useless in MMA - fighters arriving in the Octagon with nothing but a Karate or Taekwondo belt around their waist will have their legs battered black and blue, as we would expect; rather, what we are seeing is an MMA "arms race" - as competitors refine commonly trained styles, both up-and-comers and prescient veterans seek to unveil weapons that opponents do not regularly encounter, putting a spanner in the best-laid game plans and maximizing their "ways to win".
Contrary to what we might think, it is not only the Western boxer or seasoned Thai fighter who may want to think about grabbing a phonebook in MMA's current climate of change - grapplers too must keep their finger on the pulse, paying attention to the interest shown in Judo by many successful competitors, including both Nick and Nate Diaz.
What does a Judo player bring to the table? Ask any BJJ player who has rolled with a champion Judoka, and they will immediately point out three things: strength, balance and posture. Judo players are nigh-on impossible to take down, hard to keep down and a nightmare from the top position, especially when pitted against guard specialists.
This much we know, and have always known about Judo, yet the takedowns found in the "gentle art" have often proved too technical or "gi-centric" to be applied successfully in MMA - until now, that is, as fighters like Manny Gamburyan and Ronda Rousey (in a manner not dissimilar to one Fedor Emelianenko) begin to use Judo in conjunction with a comprehensive "no-gi" skill set, countering Greco-style clinch takedowns with a series of beautiful leg elevation throws and sweeps.
As with Muay Thai, while no fighter will be able to enter the Octagon without solid fundamentals derived from wrestling and BJJ, we may yet see a time in the near future when the Uchi-mata is learned alongside the double-leg shot as a "bread-and-butter" technique.
The point, ladies and gentlemen, is this: one day, each and every useful technique will have been adopted into the MMA canon, and fighters will only be able to get better at what they already know, being unable to add new strings to their bow - that day, however, is a long, long way off.
For brevity's sake, this article has neglected to analyze the one-thousand-and-one new movements being practiced in MMA, ranging from the beautiful guards associated with Eddie Bravo's 10th Planet system to flamboyant strikes drawn from systems like Capoeira.
While we may not think of MMA's infancy when we watch a master like Anderson Silva strutting his stuff, the fact remains that our sport is very, very young - expect to see more Judo, more Karate, more Taekwondo; when these styles become normalised, expect the unexpected, perhaps even some Kung Fu. As MMA fans, we live in an era of perpetual change - sit back and enjoy the sheer dynamism of our sport.

For the filling: In a saucepan set over low heat, add the peaches, sugar, cinnamon and ginger. Stir until the peaches are evenly coated, and then simmer until the peaches are tender and the syrup thickens, 15 to 20 minutes. Place the peach mixture in a blender and pulse until thick and chunky.
For the French toast: In a large, shallow bowl, add the milk, cinnamon, vanilla and eggs, and whisk together. Dip the bread in the batter and to soak up the liquid.
Heat a griddle over medium-high heat, then add some butter. Place the soaked bread on the griddle and cover with large metal bowl to keep the heat in. Cook until golden brown on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
Layer one slice of French toast, a spoonful of the peach filling and a second slice of French toast on four serving plates. Top each plate with confectioner's sugar, whipped cream and some Candied Pecans.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
In a saucepan set over medium heat, add the brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon and 2 tablespoons water. Mix to combine and cook until the mixture begins to bubble, 3 to 5 minutes.
Place the toasted pecans on a sheet tray and pour the hot mixture over the top and toss until the pecans are evenly coated. Place in the oven for 6 to 8 minutes. Cool the pecans to handle. Crumble the candied pecans and toast 2 more minutes. Yield: 1 cup

What are the limitations of JDBC?
Limitations Of JDBC:
JDBC persistence logic supports SQL statements based programing, these are database s/w dependent statements. So JDBC persistence logic is database s/w dependent persistence logic.That's means if we want to change database s/w in the middle of project development it is not possible,we have to re develop JDBC persistence logic for other database s/w's.
Solution:To overcome this problem we have to go for ORM -framework s/w's based persistence logic (ex: Hibernate, ibaties, toplink,..etc).
By default JDBC ResultSet object is not serializable, so we can not send that object over the network.To overcome this RowSet introduced but that is not supporting for all JDBC drivers.
Solution:We have to take the support of DTO(Data Transfer Object)/VO(Value Object) design pattern.

South Florida's economic rebound slowed in the first three months of this year, a new study shows.
The economy of Broward, Palm Beach and Miami-Dade counties had been on the way up at the end of 2011 with South Florida's economic recovery ranked in the top fourth of the nation's 100 largest metro areas, according to the Washington-based Brookings Institution, a nonprofit public policy group.
But by the end of March, the three counties' growth had plummeted to the point that Brookings ranked South Florida's recovery as 56th — meaning 55 other U.S. metro areas were faring better.
Indeed, South Florida's output of goods and services has been among the worst in the nation to recover. Brookings ranked South Florida as 81st, meaning only 19 other large communities had performed worse from January to March.
"The first quarter really slipped below previous levels," said Mark Muro, Brookings' director of policy for the Metropolitan Policy Program. "The bottom line is that South Florida continues to struggle to obtain and maintain sufficient momentum to overcome the damage it sustained during the real estate and financial bust."
With its strong international trade, South Florida has been hurt by the ongoing financial struggles in Europe and a slowing Chinese economy, Muro said. "Especially uncertainty in Brazil may have hurt South Florida," he added.
"It doesn't bode well for the next quarter," Muro predicted. "It's hard to see robust growth on the horizon."
South Florida won't go into a recession but its recovery continues to be slowed down by uncertainty, with consumers worried about the economy, said economist Sean Snaith, director of the Institute for Economic Competitiveness at the University of Central Florida in Orlando.

Editor's note: Morgan has done a brilliant job of displaying the proof that what happened on 9/11 was covered-up because it was "an inside job". While I believe there are powerful reasons for preferring an explanation in terms of the use of mini or micro nukes, we agree that there was no "collapse" of either of the Twin Towers. Here is another photo illustrating the proof that the Tehran collapse provides:
To the left, observe the 5.5 floor debris pile from the collapse (due to controlled demolition) of WTC-7, which was a 47-story building (in my estimation, the most robust ever designed by the hand of man). To the right, the absence of a debris pile from the destruction (by a demolition under control) of the 110-story WTC-1 (North Tower), which was obliterated to or even below ground level. Q.E.D.

Ziggler on who is his favorite wrestler to work with
amarillo.com posted an interview with Dolph Ziggler, here are some highlights:
■ Who is your favorite wrestler on the roster to work with?
"Me and Kofi Kingston have had like 100 matches together. It's come down to some really fun ones. We've been in ladder matches together. We've done some really cool things. He does awesome stuff, and I'm really good at taking it away from the fans and not letting them see it. We work well together. I enjoy watching him when I'm not in the ring with him. When I do get in there with him, we usually tear it up pretty well."
■ Who would you like to step into the ring with individually that you never got a chance to?
"I would love to get in the ring with Shawn Michaels one time. We got to do some stuff when I was in the Spirit Squad a long time ago. I was brand new, and I learned a lot from him. I wish now that I'm kind of coming into the peak of my career, I'd love to get in there one last time. I think we would tear it up."

ASADABAD Afghanistan (Reuters) - An airstrike by Pakistani forces along the Afghan border killed four civilians on Saturday, officials said, as a Pakistani offensive against Taliban militants continued despite protests by the Afghan government.
Pakistan launched its first major offensive in years against insurgents near the Afghan border on May 22 after several rounds of government-led peace talks ended in failure.
"A Pakistani army helicopter strike in Dangam district killed four civilians and wounded ten others," said Abdul Habib Sayed Khel, police chief of Afghanistan's Kunar province, adding that 124 rockets had landed in the province on Saturday alone.
Afghanistan says hundreds of rockets and bombs have landed in Afghan villages close to the border since the offensive began 11 days ago.
Anger over the strikes prompted Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai on Wednesday to demand the Pakistani government take action to stop its military killing Afghan civilians.
Pakistan said the airstrikes had targeted Taliban militants conducting attacks on Pakistani soil from across the Afghan border, but agreed to investigate claims that civilians had been killed.
In turn, Afghanistan has long accused Pakistan of sheltering the Afghan Taliban on its territory.
In a separate incident in eastern Ghazni province, a dozen people were killed by a roadside bomb.
"Their minivan hit a roadside bomb planted by the Taliban... They were travelling to a wedding ceremony," Ghazni governor's spokesman Shafiq Nang Safi told Reuters.
Afghan forces have stepped up security operations ahead of the second round of the presidential election on June 14.

Lee Bains Iii & the Glory Fires (US)
Textinformationen kommer från last.fms wiki
Lee Bains III & The Glory Fires is an American band from Alabama.
In 2008, shortly after returning to Birmingham from college in New York, Lee Bains fell in with The Dexateens. After Bains had played with the band for a couple or three years, a couple or three hundred shows, the Dexateens came to a reluctant end. Casting his nets in central Alabama's rock'n'roll clubs, Bains assembled the Glory Fires: drummer Blake Williamson (Black Willis, Taylor Hollingsworth, Dan Sartain), bass player Justin Colburn (Model Citizen, Arkadelphia), and guitar player Matt Wurtele. After tracking some demos under the powerful guidance of Texas punk pioneer Tim Kerr (Big Boys, Poison 13, Now Time Delegation) and a few months of shows, the Glory F...

For Immediate Release: August 25, 2016
AtlantiCare presents 200th automated external
defibrillator through Heart Heroes Program
Donation to Bayview Volunteer Fire Company is
20th in Galloway
AtlantiCare marked the presentation of the 200th automated external defibrillator (AED) through the AtlantiCare Heart Heroes Program August 22. The presentation to the Bayview Volunteer Fire Company of Galloway Township was the 20th AtlantiCare has made to an organization and/or business in Galloway. To mark the milestone donation, AtlantiCare covered the full cost of the AED.
The AED was placed in the fire company's banquet hall, which is used by the fire company uses and also serves as a polling place for elections and a location for other public events.
AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center's Heart Heroes Matching Funds Program has presented AEDs throughout Atlantic, Cape May and Ocean counties since 2012, helping to build healthy communities.
AtlantiCare representatives also recognized the founding volunteers of the ARMC Heart Heroes Program, including George and Louise Schieder, of Egg Harbor City, and Rita Triola, of Mullica Township, and thanked all current Heart Hero volunteers.
"We are excited to be making this donation to the Bayview Volunteer Fire Company in Galloway, where our Mainland Campus – home of the Heart Institute at AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center (ARMC) – is located," said Charisse Fizer, vice president, Clinical Operations and Ambulatory Services, AtlantiCare. "It was after we opened the region's only full-service cardiac surgery program in 2001 that the Heart Heroes Program began."
"A person's chances of surviving a cardiac emergency, such as sudden cardiac arrest, significantly increase when an AED is available," said Viren Vankawala, MD, AtlantiCare Physician Group cardiologist and ARMC Medical Staff member, as he encouraged attendees to think about other public areas where AEDs could save lives. He added, "Learn the early signs of a cardiac arrest. Become certified in CPR."
Members of the Galloway Township Police Explorer Post raised funds to cover a portion of the cost of the wall-mounted box to store the AED.
The AtlantiCare Heart Heroes is an AtlantiCare Foundation-funded program that places automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in the community on behalf of the Heart Institute at AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center. The program began in 2002, spurred by a small group of dedicated AtlantiCare volunteers who were known as "The Heart Heroes", who raised funds to help AtlantiCare make AEDs available in the community. Through the program, AtlantiCare Heart Hero funds cover half of purchase price of the AED and the requesting organization covers the other half. The current cost of AEDs is $1,400. In some cases, other organizations donate the matching funds. In some cases, AtlantiCare has covered the full cost of the AEDs.
"We've been fortunate to work with AtlantiCare to place AEDs within our fire company," said Joseph Picardi, captain, Bayview Fire Company. "The students at Assumption Regional Catholic School provided the matching funds for two other AtlantiCare Heart Hero AEDs. We are placing an additional AED in the banquet hall to make it available for public access when no fire personnel are present at the station."
Organizations, groups and individuals can donate directly to the program by making a gift to the Foundation. Applications for the Heart Heroes Matching Funds Program are available on AtlantiCare's website.

After high school, Saleh Albaladi knew he needed more experience to find a job in Saudi Arabia. Many of his relatives were unemployed and prospects were not good. The right type of education would make all the difference. He chose the 2-year diploma program in networking at King Abdulaziz University because it included the Cisco Networking Academy curriculum and sparked his interest in technology. He hoped the hands-on training and practical knowledge would give him an edge in the crowded job market.
Young people in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia face one of the most challenging and competitive job markets in the world. A demographic baby boom is about to come of age in the Kingdom and young men and women will soon flood a job market that is already impacted. Current estimates of 10.9 percent unemployment only tell part of the story. The rate is much higher (about 35 percent) for men in their 20s and those with university degrees.
Instead of hiring young Saudis, employers turn to more experienced workers from other countries who live in the Kingdom. Rather than invest in graduates with bachelor's degrees who have never seen a switch or a router, they hire expatriates with work-ready ICT skills. Saleh read the university website carefully to find the diploma in networking that included Cisco Networking Academy training. He knew that was a pathway to a career.
The Cisco Academy at King Abdulaziz University offers students practical, hands-on training and certification as well as connections to employers who need their skills. As the ICT industry grows in Saudi Arabia and throughout the Middle East, employees with proven skills and respected certifications have an advantage over other applicants.
"Cisco Networking Academy training is different," said Hashem Shahwan, Cisco Academy Manager for Saudi Arabia, Yemen, and Lebanon. "The students use the equipment. They configure it. They are ready to work the day after they graduate."
King Abdulaziz University started one of the first Cisco Academies in the region as part of the 2-year diploma track in the Computer Science Department in 2004. Content is developed by educational experts and Cisco engineers to match industry and employer requirements for qualified technicians. The curriculum is delivered using a blended, e-learning model with a combination of practical hands-on lab work and study with access from anywhere. In 2010-2011, the program opened its doors to graduates with bachelor's degrees who need more practical, hands-on training and ICT certification to find a job.
Students enjoy the unusual combination of classroom instruction, hands-on activities, online curricula, labs, network simulations, and online assessments. "NetAcad is fun…I learn by doing," said Rayan Aklunaidiry, a current student. "I like to get the job done."
The blended learning model uses visual, auditory, and tactile participation with many opportunities for authentic practice of key concepts. The Networking Academy also helps students develop the problem-solving, communication, collaboration, and critical thinking skills that employers expect in today's global, technology-driven society.
Cisco Networking Academy provides the missing link for employers and young people of all backgrounds. Students who complete Networking Academy courses are finding jobs and advancing in their careers because their skills are needed in the local job market and recognized by employers.
Shortly after Saleh completed his degree, he found a position as a technician for Information Technology Company, Ltd. (ITC). Employers look for graduates who have attended Cisco Networking Academy because they know what they can do. "They are ready to work," said Faisal Al Amri, Saleh's manager and a senior engineer at ITC. "They have the know-how and hands on experience. We save a month or two of training."
Bachelor degree students at King Abdulaziz University continue their studies through the Cisco Networking Academy to obtain the practical skills and certification the job market demands. "It provides the necessary knowledge that was not fully present during my college years," said Abeer Gary (Aziz), a current student with a bachelor's degree. "It gives more hands-on practice on the solid information we used to study, and surely gaining the certificate will advance our careers and give us much more confidence in doing our jobs."
After a week of training on the company's protocols, Saleah was out in the field setting up technology and configuring networks for ITC clients. He enjoys traveling and the work in the field, but realizes the limitation of his 2-year diploma. Young people with bachelor's degrees lack practical knowledge to get the job, but young men like Saleh without a bachelor's degree are not eligible for promotion.
Saleh is investing part of his salary in himself by continuing his education online at Arab University. The virtual university, designed for working people who cannot attend daily classes, is less expensive than more traditional universities. Saleh hopes to complete his bachelor's degree then take the Cisco CCNA certification and pursue his Cisco CCNP as he continues to gain work experience.
Saleh's family is proud of all he has accomplished. Thousands of bachelor degree graduates cannot find jobs. Saleh did not have the resources to pursue a bachelor's degree, but the opportunity to learn Cisco networking motivated him to earn a diploma. Now, he is able to continue his education and improve his prospects while contributing to the growth of the information industry and earn a living in Saudi Arabia.

Whose Library Is It Anyway?: A Visit to the Lenox
[tags]library, libraries, humor, lennox library[/tags]
What is this?
This, dear, is the great Lenox Library.
What is it for?
Nobody knows.
But I thought you said it was a library.
So I did.
Then there must be books in it
Why is it called the "Lenox" Library?
Because it was founded and given by Mr. James Lenox.
Given to whom?
To the city of New York.
Oh! then it is a public library?
Yes, dear.
How delightful! Why it must be very useful to students and the reading public?
But why are the doors locked?
To keep people out.
But I thought you said it was a public library?
So I did.
Then how can they keep people out?
By locking the doors.
But why?
To keep the pretty books from being spoiled.
Why! Who would spoil the pretty books?
The public.
By reading them.
Gracious! What are all those brass things on the roof?
Cannon, dear.
What are they for?
To blow the heads off students who want to get in.
Why! and see those gallows!
Yes, dear.
And people hanging!
Certainly, sweet.
Who are they?
Students who got in.
But is there no way of getting into the library without being shot or hanged?
Yes, sweet.
By writing an humble letter of application to the kind Lord High Librarian.
He will refer you to the 1st Assistant Inspector of Character.
And then?
It will go to the Third Deputy Examiner of Morals.
He will pass it on to the Comptroller of Ways and Means.
And he?
He will, after mature deliberation, send it to the Commercial Agency.
What for?
To get a proper understanding of the applicant's solvency.
Then it comes back for the monthly meeting of the Sub-Committee on Private Inquiry.
To ascertain if the applicant has any real necessity for consulting any particular book in the library.
And suppose he has?
Why, then the paper goes to the Sub-janitor.
And what does he do?
He finds out if the Astor or the Mercantile Libraries have the book.
And if they have?
He tells the applicant to go there and consult it.
But if they have it not?
Then the application goes to the Commissioner of Vital Statistics.
For what purpose?
To ascertain if the applicant is still living.
And if he is?
At the next annual meeting of the Board of Directors, if there is a quorum present, which sometimes happens, he will get a ticket entitling him to admission between the hours of two and three on a specified day.
But if the applicant is busy on that day at that hour?
He forfeits his ticket.
But how's the public benefited by this "public" library?
Ask the Trustees.

The president issued an executive order on 16 November 2001 authorizing a trial by military commission for "any individual who is not a United States citizen" and had been a member of al Qaeda, assisted with acts of international terrorism, or knowingly harbored international terrorists. Following the paradigm of a nation at war, the military opened a hastily prepared facility on the U.S. Naval Base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and prisoners began to arrive there from battlefields in Afghanistan in January 2002. President Bush decided that the detainees at Guantanamo would be characterized as "unlawful enemy combatants" who could be prosecuted by military commission under the laws and customs of war, and that they did not qualify for the status of "prisoner of war" under the relevant rules of the 1949 Geneva Conventions. President Bush also relied on the laws and customs of warfare as the international legal authority to detain the captured individuals, while citing his executive privilege during wartime as the basis of domestic legal authority to continue that detention until the conclusion of hostilities. There was no public discussion of when, or even if, that indeterminate threshold could be met in the case of a nonstate terrorist group acting across international boundaries.

In your face: Masked Kobe scores 33, Dwyane Wade fouls out of Lakers' 93-83 win over Heat
LOS ANGELES (AP) ' Kobe Bryant scored 33 points in his third straight stellar performance since Dwyane Wade broke his nose in the All-Star game, and Wade managed just 16 points before fouling out midway through the fourth quarter of the Los Angeles Lakers' 93-83 victory over the Miami Heat on Sunday.
Metta World Peace scored 17 points while leading a solid defensive effort for the Lakers, who have won 17 of their last 18 home games. Andrew Bynum had 16 points and 13 rebounds as Los Angeles never trailed in the final 44 minutes against Miami, snapping a four-game skid in Bryant's head-to-head matchups with Wade's Heat.
LeBron James had 25 points, 13 rebounds and seven assists for the Heat, who lost on the final two stops of their three-game trip.

CAIRO (Reuters) - Egypt's trade ministry extended on Thursday a tariff on the exports of fresh and frozen fish, the official gazette said.
The ministry had imposed a tariff of 12,000 Egyptian pounds ($680) per tonne for four months in April after a surge in fish exports that followed the currency float led to supply shortages and a rise in domestic prices locally.
Egypt's central bank floated the pound currency in November as part of economic reforms tied to a three-year International Monetary Fund program aimed at reviving the economy.
The Egyptian pound lost half its value since the pound float in November, increasing appetite for Egyptian exports.
The decision does not apply to processed fish, such as smoked or canned fish, the official gazette said. It also does not apply to fish exports destined to be exported to European Union countries due to binding agreements, it added.
"The decision will apply for a year from the next day after it's published," the gazette said.
Egypt's average fish production over the past three years was 1.5 million tonnes per year compared with a local demand of about 1.8 million tonnes annually.

The federal government officially runs out of funding at midnight tonight. While a good amount of attention will be devoted to political blame, it's helpful to understand what a shutdown really means and what will actually happen in its wake.
First, the name, "shutdown" is not entirely accurate. The situation can more cogently be described as a funding gap. Between which one stream of funding ends before another is approved. The drastic nature of these once normal bureaucratic snafus were exacerbated in 1980 when President Carter's new Attorney General, Benjamin Civiletti issued a couple legal opinions interpreting the obscure 1884 Antideficiency Act: One saying the work of government cannot continue through a funding gap, and another modifier saying that only essential government services and personnel could legally remain working. To allow non-essential government employees to work without being paid meant they would be "illegal volunteers".
After the consequences of funding gaps became clear, politics gradually asserted itself. Throughout the end of Carter's term and on through the Reagan and Bush terms, temporary shutdowns of anywhere between one and five days were commonplace and were precipitated by an outside political issue. The gap and the subsequent standoff between President Clinton and House Speaker Newt Gingrich in 1995, which dragged on 21 days, holds a modern record. Due to the political backlash that engulfed Washington in the months following the '95 shutdown, America has not seen such an event since.
Another note about the term "shutdown": Based on Civiletti's second legal opinion stating "essential" workers can remain working allows for many things that actually impact most Americans to continue. Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements will not stop. Social Security checks will continue to be mailed. There is also a current statute stating that military personnel will continue to accrue pay which will be reimbursed after funding is restored. However, the term "essential" does not apply to national parks, zoos, and museums like the Smithsonian. They will close if there is a funding gap.

In order to honor military families, Electronic Arts' upcoming shooter Medal of Honor reboot will not be sold or advertised at military-based Gamestop stores, the Army and Air Force Exchange Service confirmed to IGN.
"Out of respect to those we serve, we will not be stocking this game," said AAFES Commander Maj. Gen. Bruce Casella in a statement.
"We regret any inconvenience this may cause authorized shoppers, but are optimistic that they will understand the sensitivity to the life and death scenarios this product presents as entertainment. As a military command with a retail mission, we serve a very unique customer base that has, or possibly will, witness combat in real life."
This move impacts all Army and Air Force Exchange operations worldwide, including AAFES' website and on-base/post GameStop locations. All pre-orders and reservations placed online will be canceled. Pre-orders placed through GameStop locations on Army and Air Force installations will be transferred to off-base ones.
Controversy arose last month when it was discovered the game allowed players to assume the role of Taliban members in its multiplayer mode.
Electronic Arts has not responded to requests for comment at this time. Medal of Honor is currently slated for release on October 12.
