Monday - Interview with a Wiki Ninja
Tuesday - TNWiki Article Spotlight
Wednesday - Wiki Life
Thursday - Council Spotlight
Friday - International Update
Saturday - Top Contributors of the Week
Sunday - Surprise
Every time I read Curah's tagline I immediately think of the TechNet Wiki community spirit. "Curate the web and share what you know". It's the sharing aspect that reflects the essence of what the Wiki is all about. Curating the best parts of the Wiki is definitely a community win! In this post I'll be highlighting the efforts by the community to curate articles from the TechNet Wiki within Curah.
Curah was officially launched on November 20, 2013 and since then I'd say it's been a great start. You can visit Curah at http://curah.microsoft.com and follow the team on Twitter @mscurah.
Curah previously highlighted on the Wiki Ninjas Blog
Curah has already been highlighted twice by other Wiki Ninja Bloggers:
Curah related articles on the TechNet Wiki
With the above links you'll find resources to get you started on your curator journey. There are English and Japanese resources available at this time. If anyone can translate the portal and resources to other languages, the community would be grateful.
Curah Statistics
Since the intent and scope of Curah is to enable everyone to curate and share the best technology articles from all corners of the Internet, let's start with some overall Curah statistics (not specific to the TechNet Wiki).
I think these numbers are great for the first two full months an the numbers are growing daily. The name of the game is provide quality expert curations, not quantity.
Wiki Related Statistics
Now, of course this post is all about highlighting articles from the TechNet Wiki! Here is the same table as presented above, but this time with TechNet Wiki specific numbers related to curations in Curah!:
Here are some general percentages related to TechNet Wiki curations in Curah:
Who's curating and who's articles are being curated?
As both Curah and the TechNet Wiki both rely on a large community of passionate individuals to contribute content, this next set of statistics recognize the top 15 contributors in three different categories. Congratulations to everyone on these lists! The first two categories represent work done within Curah. The third category is a listing of Wiki Article Authors (Article First Publishers) whose work has been curated in Curah.
Curation Keywords and TechNet Wiki Tags
This next table highlights the top 30 keywords curators used to describe curations that included one or more link to the TechNet Wiki. Also included are the top 30 TechNet Wiki Article Tags from the set of TechNet Wiki Articles curated within Curah.
As a suggestion to everyone, if you add a TechNet Wiki link to a curation in Curah, please add the 'Curated in Curah' tag to the article within the TechNet Wiki.
Note on Curah Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
Curations with a thoughtful title, description and keywords do in fact appear and rank well in Bing and Google search results. As you would expect, the title, description and keywords you provide appear within the appropriate meta tags in the HTML of your curation.
As an example, I have a curation titled "SharePoint: TechNet Wiki Guru Awards - Monthly Winning Articles" and this is ranked pretty well in Bing and Google. At the time of this blog, when I search for "technet wiki guru awards" it is ranked #5 in both search engines. When I search for "technet wiki guru awards sharepoint" it is the #1 result in both search engines. I'd say these search results are pretty good indeed!
For Curah SEO Tips visit Curah: SEO Best Practices for Content Curators.
The Statistics will keep on coming!
I plan on posting regular updates on statistics related to Curah and the TechNet Wiki over at the Wiki Ninja Announcements Blog.
I hope you found this post insightful. To everyone in the Wiki community - great work embracing Curah! Keep the curations coming.

Nissan Leaf: The World's Cheapest Taxi Rank
London recently witnessed a taxi rank with a difference. Celebrating the fact that the Nissan LEAF is six times cheaper to run than petrol, ten 100% electric cars ferried people around London for a few pence. Scores of delighted passengers – both Londoners and visitors to the capital – were treated to incredibly cheap 'taxi' rides in the zero-emission Nissan LEAF over a June weekend.

Pleasantly surprised that the room had a hair dryer, iron, ironing board, coffee maker and refridgerator, not listed in the description. Don't think bedspreads were thoroughly cleaned. This is not a luxury motel, but a solid value for the money.
Plastic bags in trash were too thin and broke when i tried to put a new one in; coffee grounds and trash spilled. Soaps were dried up and fell apart when the package was opened; still, the room was a solid value.
I really enjoyed the view from the balcony, it was amazing. I also liked the fire place that was in the room.
I didn't like the coffee that was provided, there was only enough cream and sugar for one cup.
My husband and I had a wonderful stay at Blue Heaven Spa. The facility was very clean and had a calm environment. We both signed up for a couple massages during our stay and attended pottery classes. All of the staff were phenomenal. They were all very friendly, pleasant, and helpful throughout our stay. We left feeling relaxed and rejuvenated and hope that we can come back soon!
Here's why:
We're not the seller
At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.

9-STABLE-20120505 Snapshot Available for Testing
Kris has announced the availability of the next testing snapshot. If you are using Intel video or would like to upgrade from a previous snapshot, read the Errata section below.
The next snapshot in the PC-BSD 9-STABLE branch has just been released
for i386 and amd64 architectures. This snapshot provides both users and developers a means to test out new features in the upcoming PC-BSD 9.1 release. This snapshot may contain buggy code and features, so users are encouraged to run it only on non-critical systems.
Changes since the previous Snapshot:
* FreeBSD 9-STABLE from 05-01-2012
* Xorg 7.5.2 / Xorg-server 1.10.6
* Includes the GEM kernel support patches
* Added fail2ban for SSH brute force blocking
* Added ossec to base system
* Added support for all i18n languages currently in Pootle
* Fixed sorting of installed Applications in AppCafe
* Fixed some bugs in server install causing CLI apps to fail
* Fixed stamping boot on BootCamp partitions.
* Enable starting Warden jails at system bootup
* Enable booting installer on systems with < 512MB of RAM * Enabled splash screen support * Multiple bugfixes to included utilities / apps Highlights for the upcoming 9.1:
* New system installer! Greatly simplified for desktop and server installs.
* New "PC-BSD Server" installation option. Includes command-line
utilities like pbi-manager, warden, metapkgmanager and more.
* Support for ZFS mirror / raidz(1,2,3) during installation.
* Support for SWAP on ZFS, allowing entire disk ZFS installation.
* Support for setting additional ZFS data-set options, such as compression, noexec, etc.

* New Bluetooth paring tray / GUI utilities.
* New AppCafe improvements and preferences
* Improvements to wifi utility
* Fixed bug causing untranslated strings to show up empty.
* Numerous bug-fixes to PC-BSD related utilities
* And much more!
* Due to some port changes the updated Xorg Intel driver did not get
automatically included. You add it post-install by adding the line
"WITH_NEW_XORG=yes" to /etc/make.conf and then building the
/usr/ports/x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel port. This will be corrected in the next snapshot.
* It is possible to update from the previous snapshot to the current version, however you will manually need to update the
/usr/local/bin/pc-updatemanager command first.
(As root)
# fetch
http://trac.pcbsd.org/export/16662/pcbsd/current/src-sh/pc-updatemanager/pc-updatemanager -o /usr/local/bin/pc-updatemanager
# chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/pc-updatemanager
You may now update via the system updater GUI.
9-STABLE-20120418 Testing Snapshot Available
Kris has just announced the availability of the first testing snapshot for the upcoming 9.1 release. This snapshot can be downloaded from here.
NOTE: This snapshot is only available for 64-bit systems. Also, if you need the new GEM/KMS support provided in the previous snapshot, do not install this new snapshot on your main system as that support has been removed, pending its commital to FreeBSD. If you need that support and would like to test the new snapshot, test it in a virtual environment.
The wiki is gradually being updated with the new installer and Warden information and those sections will change over the next few days to match the capabilities of this snapshot.
From the announcement:
The PC-BSD team is pleased to make available the first public 9-STABLE snapshot for 64bit systems!
This snapshot provides both users and developers a means to test out new features in the upcoming PC-BSD 9.1 release. This snapshot may contain buggy code and features, so users are encouraged to run it only on non-critical systems.
- FreeBSD 9-STABLE from 4-11-2012
- New system installer! Greatly simplified for desktop and server installs.
- New "PC-BSD Server" installation option. Includes command-line utilities like pbi-manager, warden, metapkgmanager and more.
- Support for ZFS mirror / raidz(1,2,3) during installation.
- Support for SWAP on ZFS, allowing entire disk ZFS installation.
- Support for setting additional ZFS data-set options, such as compression, noexec, etc.
- Warden jail management integrated into system. Allows creating jails via GUI, adding packages and other administration.
- First boot setup wizard allows OEM installs to be easily performed.
- New Bluetooth paring tray / GUI utilities.
- New AppCafe improvements and preferences.
- Improvements to wifi utility.
- Fixed bug causing untranslated strings to show up empty.
- Numerous bug-fixes to PC-BSD related utilities.
- There is a bug installing to boot-camp partitions which will be fixed in next snapshot.
- The warden rc.d script is not enabled by default. Add 'warden_enable="YES"' to /etc/rc.conf to enable.
- The i386 image was not built for this snapshot, however it will available in the upcoming weeks.
- The installer will not correctly start on systems with < 512MB of ram, which will be fixed in upcoming snapshots.
- This snapshot does NOT contain the upcoming Intel GEM/KMS video driver support. This will be available in a future snapshot.
Call for Testers: Upcoming LibreOffice Port with Localizations
Many PC-BSD users have been looking for localized versions of the LibreOffice PBI (which, like the underlying FreeBSD port, is currently only available in English). The FreeBSD LibreOffice porting team is working on the next version of the port which will be localized.
Baptiste Daroussin from the porting team describes the current state of the upcoming port in this mailing list post.
If you are comfortable compiling FreeBSD ports, have been looking for an excuse to try compiling with clang, and would like to assist with the testing of the upcoming port, read that mailing list post first as it contains technical details that you will need to get started. Note that the provided Makefiles are already configured to use clang, meaning that you can type make as usual.
Initial 9.1 Installer Documentation
For those of you trying out the 9.0-STABLE-20120225 testing snapshot, or who are curious about the revamped installer for 9.1, Chapters 3, 4, and 5 of the PC-BSD Handbook have been updated with the new screenshots and functionality. Some sections are still being tested or aren't yet fully implemented and will contain a comment to that effect in ALL CAPS.
I particularly like the new FreeBSD setup wizard; that and the ability to configure ZFS and encryption during installation makes it my new FreeBSD installer of choice.
Some of the new installer features will be refined between now and 9.1-RELEASE and the documentation will be updated accordingly. We will be releasing regular testing snapshots between now and 9.1 to give testers ample time to test new features as they are implemented. It is expected that the next testing snapshot will contain bug fixes from the last snapshot, the new gdm GUI configuration tool, and the changes to Warden that Kris is currently coding.
If you have any feedback or suggestions for the new installer, please send them to the PC-BSD testing mailing list.
Call for Testers: GEM/KMS Snapshot
A testing snapshot that integrates the new DRM/GEM/KMS work is now available to testers.
DANGER: this snapshot should be considered alpha quality and for testing purposes only!
This snapshot is meant to provide testers the opportunity to provide feedback regarding Intel, ATI and NVIDIA video cards which currently are not fully supported using the existing FreeBSD Xorg drivers. Please report any issues you find to the FreeBSD X11 mailing list so that the FreeBSDD Xorg porting team can address them.
As an added bonus, this snapshot contains the shiny new 9.1 installer. Feedback on the installer should be sent to the PC-BSD testing mailing list. Currently, the new installer is totally undocumented, but that should change over the next few weeks.
Call for Testers: Bluetooth Manager
PC-BSD 9.1 will include a new GUI for managing bluetooth devices.
If you would like to assist in testing this GUI, you can compile and install the code on your PC-BSD 9.0 system as follows:
First, make sure that these two development packages are showing as installed in Control Panel -> System Manager -> System Packages -> Development:
- Development-VCS
- Development-Qt
As superuser, download the source and compile the Bluetooth Manager and Tray applications:
svn co svn://svn.pcbsd.org/pcbsd/current/src-qt4/
cd src-qt4/libpcbsd
qmake-qt4 *.pro
make && make install
cd ../pc-bluetoothmanager
qmake-qt4 *.pro
make && make install
cd ../pc-bluetoothtray
qmake-qt4 *.pro
make && make install
When finished, leave the superuser account and start the Bluetooth Manager:
pc-su pc-bluetoothmanager (will prompt for superuser password)
Alternately, place the Bluetooth Manager in the system tray:
pc-su pc-bluetoothtray (will prompt for superuser password)
Note that the Bluetooth Tray currently activates on right-click, but nothing activates on left-click as of yet.
If you try it out, let us know if you encounter any errors or need additional functionality. Feedback can be sent to the testing mailing list.

Knoxville (WVLT) - Accused murderer Eric McLean was supposed to spend the weekend visiting with his children, but the two young boys are still nowhere to be found.
Volunteer TV's Court Reporter Rob Pratt has the exclusive interview with McLean about the situation.
Eric McLean is charged in the March murder of his wife's alleged teenage lover.
McLean and his attorney came to our studios to talk about his missing children.
Last week, a judge issued an order giving Eric McLean visitation time with his eight and eleven-year-old sons.
But McLean's wife, Erin had other ideas.
She and the children left Nashville and disappeared about a month ago.
Eric McLean says a family e-mail sent a couple of weeks ago gives him reason to believe that Mrs. McLean the kids may be in San Francisco, California with a man she'd met on the internet.
In spite of previous assurances from Mrs. McLean's attorney, Eric McLean says his past experiences leave him with little confidence that the children are safe.
"You just feel helpless and they really need me. I love them and they need me. They love me and she is keeping us apart," said Eric.
Eric McLean is also supposed to spend a weekend with his sons later this month.
But, right now he says he'd just like to know that they are safe.
He is set to go to trial for murder January 14th.

More on Internet Services
Lastly, you need to know the terms of local internet services. Make sure you read over what the terms and the conditions of local internet services are before you choose one. You may be signing on to a two year agreement without even knowing it. A lot of local internet services require a certain amount of time for you to keep your services, and may charge an early termination fee. This is very important to consider, especially if you are in a situation where you do not need local internet services for a long period of time. For example, if you are a college student, you may only need the services for a year. Make sure you know how long your contract is and what the terms of cancellation are when you are comparing the local internet services. By looking into the rates, packages, quality, and terms of local internet services you are sure to find one that best fits you. Make sure you do all of your research before signing on to one service. Remember that promotional rates change, and just because it seems like a good deal for the first few months, it may cost you much more in the long run. If you keep these tips in mind, you will find the service that best suites you.

Ballandean Vacation Packages
Ballandean is located about 110 miles (177 kilometers) away from Byron Bay, a a well-known city in Australia.
Ballandean is not the only place in Queensland worth seeing; visitors with plenty of time can also set out to see the special qualities of the surrounding landscapes, communities and cultural attractions. Cottonvale and Tenterfield are two more places worth seeing while you're in Queensland.
Enjoy a little local culture with a little sunshine and fresh air at the region's fabulous farms.
For those leading a fast-paced life, the perfect holiday often means finding good places to relax. When it's time to de-stress, follow the lead of the locals and go bird watching or shore fishing. Tapping into local knowledge is an enjoyable and educational way for visitors to discover a new region. Sign up to one of the wildlife spotting tours and guided nature walks.
Local menus are a great way to learn about an area. So head to some of Queensland's cafés and restaurants. Bush tucker and also cane sugar are often used in cooking in this area. Try fruit salad at the end of your main dishes. This is a popular choice for residents. The bars in this region just about always serve XXXX Summer Bright Larger, so be sure to try one if you enjoy a good brew.
As you come to the end of your stay in Queensland, just remember that you can visit again. As it goes in places like this: Once a visitor, forever a friend.

Alcohol misuse and abuse is a major problem in the UK, and not just among youth but suburban drinkers too.
The Home Office has just finalised a proposal designed to tackle the consequence of the problem ŌĆō currently estimated to be costing the NHS ┬Ż21bn a year.
It includes a revised ŌĆśResponsibility DealŌĆÖ, that would see the removal off shelves of carbonated drinks with more than 4 units of alcohol, like Tennents Super (9%). AB InBev has been the first to commit.
Retailers are also being pressurised into taking a more responsible attitude towards promotions and display of alcohol.
The Government wants to put an end to super strength lagers, though this seems a token target when students, for example, tank up on cheap spirits before going clubbing and some suburban drinkers are drinking half a bottle of wine, at 14%, a night.
The alcohol industry, which turns over billions, has committed ┬Ż250,000 to kick start an alcohol education campaign in schools. With just over 8 million pupils attending around 24,000 schools in England, thatŌĆÖs about ┬Ż10 a school. ThatŌĆÖs not exactly going to make much impact.
Last month the drinks industry was accused of funding 5 alcohol charities to the tune of ┬Ż1m each, by the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, so about ┬Ż4.75 more than they are putting into schools.
A recent report by Kantar Alocvision shows that there is a drift back to pubs, after a 5 year decline in on-trade sales, the amount we are drinking is falling, though one growth area is in quality bottled ales.
Part of the Responsibility Deal is to remove 100 million units of alcohol from annual sales, in part through moving towards lower alcohol products, wines, cider, beer, etc. However, some have pointed out that itŌĆÖs easy for retailers to appear to be reducing this on paper, when in fact people are drinking the same.
But alcohol brands have been making some significant changes, Diageo being one with a reduced strength version of their Blossom Hill range, a lower alcohol version of Guinness at 2.8% abv. CarlsbergŌĆÖs new citrus lager is just 2.8% abv, while Heineken has reduced the strength of Bulmers, John SmithŌĆÖs and introduced Fosters Radler.
In countries like Spain, low and zero alcohol products (sin alcohol) are popular and easily available. Unlike the British, the Spanish have no issue in pacing their drinks or with the image of sin alcohol beers. So one question that needs to be asked is, why drink brands do little to promote a positive image for low alcohol beers?
End of last year we cold pitched an innovative low alcohol beer campaign to several drink brands, and were told by one that there were ŌĆ£no current plans to support their low alcohol rangeŌĆØ. Why not, Theresa May (Home Secretary) should be asking?
As a witness at the CommonŌĆÖs Select Committee, several years ago, on drinking and marketing, I observed one brand getting a real grilling over the fact they spend millions on their main brand but bugger all on the low alcohol one. Their response was, ŌĆ£ThatŌĆÖs because thereŌĆÖs no demand.ŌĆØ The committee head pointed out that they spend millions on their main brand to increase demand, so surely they believe advertising works, so therefore if they advertised their low alcohol brand itŌĆÖd sell more. A good point.
Several years ago I worked with a supermarket on a alcohol awareness campaign but at the 11th hour it was canned, some believe because it would have reduced profit margins.
Although there are a number of alcohol awareness campaigns about, how many actually work?
Having worked on one in colleges with the NUS, on simple factor we discovered was that many students actually didnŌĆÖt really want to get drunk, they just conformed to a social norm ŌĆō the belief that everyone else does so they do too. In act in one group of 10 only two wanted to get smashed, the rest didnŌĆÖt but thought they were the minority. When we revealed that they were in fact the majority the two heavy drinkers looked sheepish. Applying some Behavioural Economics, instead of another ad campaign, could make a bigger difference.
Or apply Parallel Universal Thinking (PUT), thatŌĆÖll throw up some alternative solutions.
Despite claims that the Responsibility Deal is delivering against targets, there are those that believe we need a more dramatic solution and legislation, not a voluntary scheme, which could include a total ban on alcohol marketing.
Whatever way you look at it, we do have a serious problem in the UK and I donŌĆÖt really think the Government has found the right solution yet.

6 Most Profitable Stocks With Double-Digit Yields 0 comments
Stocks With Highest Return On Investment And Biggest Dividend Yields Researched By Dividend Yield - Stock, Capital, Investment. High Yields are good but stocks with very high yields (dividend yield over 10 percent) are even better. At the capital markets are unbelievable 160 stocks with a double-digit yield but most of the companies have hidden business models with a small market capitalization.
I screened all stocks with very high yields by the highest return on investment (yields over 10 percent). In order to reduce the risk of dividend cuts, I decided to select only those stocks with a market capitalization of more than USD 2 billion. Six companies remained.
Here is the full table with some fundamentals (NYSE:TTM):
6 Most Profitable Stocks With Double-Digit Yields...
Take a closer look at the full table. The average price to earnings ratio (P/E ratio) amounts to 6.36 and forward P/E ratio is 8.87. The dividend yield has a value of 17.60 percent. Price to book ratio is 5.49 and price to sales ratio 4.69. The operating margin amounts to 49.21 percent and the beta ratio is 0.91. The average stock has a ROI of 16.87 percent.

Friendly, cozy, but not vegan friendlyPosted on 04 / 02 / 2015
I went there for lunch with a colleague. It's a very popular restaurant apparently, but we could find a table for 2. There are quite a few vegetarian dishes, and they are clearly marked, but most of them contain egg, butter or cheese. After I talked to the friendly staff (who spoke passable english), and after having explained that "vegan" is not the same as vegetarian, they said that there was only one vegan main dish, which is rice with vegetable. I had it, it was great for what it was and affordable (after I added some soy sauce), but still, it's just rice with a few vegetables. I don't know how the previous reviewer gained the impression that this place has much to offer for vegans.
Cons: only one vegan main dish

Woman hurt in car crashMay 23,2013Woman hurt
in car crash
WEST RUTLAND A woman sustained serious injuries Wednesday morning following a crash in which her teenage son was driving.
According to Vermont State Police, a 15-year-old boy from Middletown Springs was driving north on Route 133 in a 2011 Chevrolet Traverse at around 7:30 a.m. when the vehicle went off the road and struck a tree.
The teenager was driving under the supervision of his mother, Jennifer Sheridan, who police said suffered a broken back and broken ribs in the crash. She was taken to Rutland Regional Medical Center, where she was listed in good condition Wednesday afternoon, according to a hospital spokeswoman.
The youth was not injured. Neither drugs nor alcohol appear to have been factors in the crash, police said.MORE IN This Just In

Although one in five women will get at least one urinary tract infection (UTI) in her lifetime, and others will go on to have chronic UTIs, many urinary tract infections can be prevented.
"One general statement for women trying to prevent urinary tract infection is to empty their bladder on a regular time interval and to make sure they empty properly," says Angelo E. Gousse, MD, professor of urology at the University of Miami School of Medicine. "Also, they should avoid douching or putting anything in the vagina that's going to change the composition of bacteria in the vagina."
Tips to Reduce Your Risk of UTI
- Relieve your bladder as soon as you feel the urge to urinate so bacteria don't have a chance to collect and grow.
- Drink lots of fluid to keep the bladder flushed and bacterial growth at a minimum.
- Wipe from front to back to keep fecal matter from getting into the urinary tract.
- Avoid feminine sprays and douches and spermicidal foams and creams, which may irritate and increase bacterial growth in the urethra (the tube that leads from the outside of the body to the bladder).
- Take showers instead of baths.
- Cleanse your genital area before sexual intercourse to remove some of the bacteria in the area. After sex, empty your bladder as soon as possible.
UTI Prevention: Not Always Easy
In some cases, even the most diligent woman will have a hard time preventing UTIs. The anatomy of a woman is such that the opening to her urinary tract is close to her vagina and anus, where many bacteria congregate. In addition, a woman's urethra is only 1.5 inches long, which means bacteria doesn't have far to go to get to the bladder and possibly on to the kidneys and the ureters, which are the tubes connecting the kidneys to the bladder.
Now, new research suggests the bladders of some women are such that bacteria persistently collect in little cocoons in the walls of their bladder and can be particularly difficult to treat. Other research indicates that some women may have particularly friendly "receptor sites" along the urethra, making it easier for bacteria to collect there.
Those women who suffer from recurrent or persistent UTIs may want to consider preventive options in the form of medication, including:
- An antibacterial medication, such as methenamine hippurate (Hiprex), and 500 mg of vitamin C three times a day to make the urine more acidic
- A daily antibiotic
- One dose of an antibiotic after sex
UTI Prevention: Cranberry Juice — Does it Work?
The jury is out as to whether or not cranberry juice really prevents UTIs. Some urologists say cranberry juice keeps the walls of your bladder slippery so bacteria can't grow. It also increases the acidity of your urine, which likewise keeps bacteria at bay. But others who have treated and studied UTIs for years do not believe cranberry juice or even cranberry extract play a significant role in preventing UTI.
"The extract is not as powerful as the true medication. Hiprex, which has some of the properties of the cranberry, can — when taken with vitamin C — prevent urinary tract infections," says Dr. Gousse.
While UTIs can sometimes be difficult to prevent, it is still important to practice good health and hygiene habits. Drink lots of water, urinate frequently, and wipe from front to back. If you continue to get infections, your doctor is there to help.

Registration is now open for the 2015 SC International Trade Conference!
Thank you to all our speakers who provided the conference with a wonderful and informative program. We have several of the speaker's presentations from the 2014 conference available on-line.
I would also like to thank the continued support and generosity of our Sponsors who have helped us provide an affordable Conference. The Conference has been held in South Carolina for 41 years and thanks to their support we had another successful conference.
Also thank you to SCITC Board of Directors who volunteer to put together the best conference each year. Without their hard work and dedication the SCITC would not be the success that it is each year. Please take a moment to look at our Board of Directors on our webpage.
With over 500 attendees this year, we are looking forward to an even greater registration demand for 2015.
Many of the speaker presentations from the 2014 conference are available on-line, as is the printed program and attendee list.
Mark your calendar and see you next year!

Thanks so much for delivering the beautiful flowers from the wedding. As you witnessed, our residents were very enthusiastic about getting them. Please thank the bride and groom for thinking of them. It really meant a lot to each of the seniors!
– Janette Mohlman, Director Greenview Nursing Home Chicago
Donate Your Wedding Flowers
We're excited to let you know about a wonderful way to share a part of your big day with those who would REALLY appreciate it.
After your wedding, instead of throwing out your floral arrangements or begging your guests to take them home, we will deliver them on your behalf to a nursing home. This is an easy way to do something special as you start your new life together.
Picture the huge smiles on the faces of the senior citizens that will enjoy your beautiful flowers for several days after your wedding. Since 2008, our couples have donated over 4,000 arrangements!
Georgia thanks Karlee and Jay for donating their flowers!
David's process for getting to know you, whats important to you for your wedding is impeccable. And DRM exceeded them tenfold. The best part was that our dance floor was packed the entire night – young and old! Everyone had a blast and a million people told me that they've never had so much fun at a wedding. I know these people and they were not just being nice. I attribute 95% of this to David and his band. If I had to do it again all over on a budget, I would hire David, and skimp on everything else. Nothing else is as important as the atmosphere, energy and the fun at your wedding. Thanks David!!!!

My Grandparents are My Inspiration
Read Their Love Story
Hy and Rebecca were married 71 years. They lived to 94 and 91. He made her breakfast in bed everyday and always brought her a flower from their garden. After they passed away I wanted to create something as a memorial to their never ending love for each other.
Each winter they would drive about 6 miles an hour from Freeport, IL down to Clearwater Beach, FL in their 1972 Oldsmobile with their left turn signal turned on from about Nashville on south. They always stayed at the same hotels and restaurants and were known by everyone along the way.
He went to University of Nebraska at age 15, became a doctor at 22 and was an army doctor for 30 years. She was an amazing poet and actually went to high school with Dear Abby and Ann Landers in Sioux City, Iowa. While he was on his death bed, she read her poetry to him at his request, especially the poetry she had written about their lives together. They were inseparable.
This is a 100% FREE program.
All we need is your permission!
Simply Call us @773.244.1239 or fill out the inquiry form.
How it Works
- David will bring large containers for the flowers.
- After the wedding, he loads your flowers into his car.

Nigersaurus---a remarkably fragile skull
Posted by Dinosaur1 on 30 Apr 2008 at 08:07 GMT
The skull of Nigersaurus, I maintain, is remarkably thin, fully taking into account the fact that it would not be processing plant matter primarily orally as in a mammalian ungulate. An ostrich is not a close functional parallel, in that this particular diplodocoid has a terminal tooth battery with a top rate of tooth wear.
The better analogy is to other dinosaurs of comparable size that have evolved very active wear facets and tooth batteries (self-supporting dentition), namely the hadrosaurids and ceratopsids. In both cases, of course, these are laterally positioned tooth batteries—which is a lot more managable biomechanically than a terminal row. They parallel mammalian ungulates in a number of regards (robustness, coronoid process, closure of all fenestrae, reduction of post-dentary bones, etc.). Nigersuarus does none of this, has paper thin jaw bones, and actually has extra fenestrae.
Then we must admit the probability that it was browsing close to the ground, cropping. Thus, in basic feeding function it is closer to a grazer than a narrow-mouthed browser. Again, in mammals that kind of feeding usually adds bulk to the jaws and skull. Of course, it would not have been eating grass, yet other plant possibilities are not that soft. It was terrestrial and common; it was not an aquatic feeder. it was wearing its teeth down at about one per month, which is extraordinary. Of course, like most dinosaurs, it was not mouth processing food other than to clip it. Yet, it fed a body some 35 feet long, and we are finding out that these guys are reasonably fast growers.
Nigersaurus obviously lived, and quite successfully at that, so it was able to function well. Its extraordinarily light skull and axial construction, however, is quite an anomaly, even among diplodocoids, none of which have developed comparable tooth batteries. So we are looking at a truly bizarre dinosaur, rather than an adaptation that led to an entire clade. Again, this highlights the extraordinary nature of the design of this skull; perhaps it was a design near the structural limits of bone support.
It awaits a palatal reconstruction prior to finite element analysis. sorry for the delay in my response.
Best regards,
**********Dr. John Hutchinson***************************
I agree with Dr. Seth. Although Nigersaurus was large, its thin skull is not
terribly surprising as the robust bones needed in large animals are
typically specialized to support body weight or large bite/chewing forces.
Unless Nigersaurus was standing on its head or biting trees in half I do not
see a need for a robust skull, either.
I would clarify that bone tends to develop as a response to compression, or
be removed under tension. If Nigersaurus was plucking/shearing vegetation it
might have been generating more tensile forces. Ostriches engage in similar
behavior and have very lightly built skulls. I suggest a study is made of
living animals with similar behaviors (analogous to those proposed for
Nigersaurus) and anatomies, like ostriches. Finite element models would
provide some insights, but to me it seems a foregone conclusion that might
require only simple quantitative analysis of bone geometry in extant

When Mitt Romney picks his running mate could be as important as who he picks, according to senior Republican strategists — and the jury's out on what would be best for his campaign.
Some argue Romney should wait as long as possible to see how the race shakes out and make the biggest splash with his choice, while others say an early decision would help him with fundraising and earned media. Plus, it would give the former Massachusetts governor a surrogate who can attack President Obama while allowing Romney to stay above the fray.
"I'd like them to drag it out as long as possible — the more he drags it out the more press he gets and the more press he gets the better people get to know him," said the fundraiser, who asked not to be named in order to speak candidly.
"Knowing Mitt Romney," the fundraiser continued, "he'll make a very careful judgment, get to know each person very well, and when he's out there in the field see how he interacts with them … it's going to be a very deliberate process and he's going to come up with a very high-quality selection. When you're a business executive you're used to recruiting."
Since 1976, all but one of the 10 presidential nominees publicly announced his running mate within a week of the party's convention.
Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) announced then-Sen. John Edwards (D-N.C.) would be his vice presidential running mate in early July — but even that was only three weeks ahead of the Democratic National Convention.
The Republican National Convention this cycle will take place the last week of August, more than a month later than it has been in some years, meaning an announcement shortly before the convention would give Romney less time with a top surrogate by his side.
Some argue the longer general election combined with the demands of an ever-expanding 24-hour news cycle and fundraising duties means Romney should break with tradition and make a pick earlier than is standard.
Brad Blakeman, who served as senior staffer for former President George W. Bush, said that Romney should announce his choice in June.
"If we stick to tradition over reality we make a mistake — right now we're fighting with one hand tied behind our back," he told The Hill.
Blakeman argued that making a vice presidential pick soon would give the campaign "two moving targets to hit instead of just one" and counter the two-pronged attack Obama and Vice President Biden currently can launch.
"You need to use every weapon in your arsenal. To roll the dice at the convention and leave Romney to be beaten up as the sole person out there the next few months is a big mistake," he said. "Why not use [a vice presidential candidate] to your best advantage to raise money, generate news and excitement? A normal surrogate just can't do that."
Romney is known to be a risk-averse politician, and a number of Republicans have mentioned 2008 nominee Sen. John McCain's (R-Ariz.) brief and sloppy vetting of then-Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) as a cautionary tale.
But Blakeman argued that after a thorough vetting process, an early pick could actually help avoid the pitfalls of late-breaking bad news on a vice presidential candidate's background.
"Get it out early, let the press pick apart your nominee and try to influence that as long as you can," he said.
The former Massachusetts governor seems to be taking the slower route, while his campaign announced Beth Myers, a close ally, will head the search for his running mate. The campaign has been very tight-lipped about the process and declined to discuss it with The Hill.
A number of politicians thought to be on Romney's short list have been brought out with him on the campaign trail in what appear to be test runs.
Romney most recently stumped with Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) in Pennsylvania on Monday, and in past weeks has also been on the campaign trail with Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio), Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R).
Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty (R) has consistently worked hard for Romney since he dropped out of the presidential race, serving as campaign co-chairman, and Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell (R) and Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) both stumped with Romney during the early-state primaries.
Former Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour (R) said the slow route was for the best.
"I would advise him to not decide until the middle of August — you have more time to see what the developments are on the ground, to understand what's the best [electoral] path to follow," Barbour told reporters on Thursday. "I think it's way, way too early to be able to even decide which path is the right path, much less who is the right person. And the good news is, he doesn't have to."
Barbour paraphrased advice from Sen. Thad Cochran (R-Miss.) to "never make a political decision until you have to because that's when you'll have the most information that you're going to get," and ripped the press corps for focusing on who Romney will pick so early.
"I think that anybody who's talking about vice president, Romney ought to do this or Romney ought to do that, should shut up," he said. "Nobody cares but y'all."

Mark Washburn of the CHARLOTTE OBSERVER has the beyond bizarre story of longtime Carolina Panthers Stadium Announcer Jon Robinson. Washburn initially describes Robinson's previous public life as:
High school basketball star who went to play for Lefty Driesell at the University of Maryland. Morning host on WBT-AM. News anchor on Channel 3. Stadium announcer for the Carolina Panthers. Cancer survivor.
Robinson was the Panther Stadium announcer since the franchise's inception in 1995, until two months ago. Most recently, Robinson was also a high profile morning show DJ in Charlotte on a station that caters mostly to "suburban soccer moms."
But when Robinson lost those jobs, he had a confession to make.
"I was lying the whole time and the crazy thing is people loved me for it. What I really wanted to say is, 'I shot heroin last night and smoked crack and watched eight hours of pornos.'
"I'm a fraud. … I'm skid row."
Robinson, 49, is now jobless. His Gastonia home is in foreclosure. He took out the last $1,400 of his savings this month, $300 of it earmarked to pay off a drug debt. Now the rest is gone, too. He expects to move into a homeless shelter.
He is gaunt, awash with despair and has thought of suicide. It is a stunning contrast to the handsome, athletic, vibrant professional image cultivated over two decades in the media limelight.
So why is Robinson coming out now? He claims it isn't because he wants help, he just wants to set the record straight about who he really is, while also providing obvious clues to why he was so self-destructive:
He was 10 years old and playing with friends on Paramount Circle in Gastonia when a man pulled up and asked if any of them wanted to go to theYMCA to shoot hoops. Robinson went.
Within weeks, Robinson says, the man was coaching him in basketball and serving as the father figure he craved. He was also a pedophile who molested Robinson until he was 15, even as he trained him to be a basketball star, Robinson says.
In 1977, Robinson played on the Gastonia Hunter Huss High team that won the state championship with future pro player Eric "Sleepy" Floyd. In 1978, Robinson went to Maryland on full scholarship.
Albert Charles Burgess Jr. is the man Robinson claims molested him.
Burgess eventually "pleaded guilty in Gaston County to taking indecent liberties with six boys in Gastonia and served four years of a 20-year sentence. In 1985, he pleaded guilty to child molestation charges in Anderson, S.C., involving four boys, and served 13 years of a 25-year sentence."
A month ago, Burgess was again convicted, this time on kidde porn charges.
The Observer piece chronicles the amazing media career of Robinson in the Carolinas considering his all-encompassing addictions. Eventually Robinson loses it all, including his family. His current wife has a restraining order out against him. When Robinson violated the court order, he was arrested and jailed.
Because of that jailing, "on Oct. 25, he missed his Sunday duty as stadium announcer for the Carolina Panthers, a job he had held since the franchise started in 1995. He is no longer with the team."
Robinson has since had relatives reach out, and in one case a member of his family had Robinson hospitalized over fears that he was a "danger to himself."
Robinson has since left the hospital and has pledged to go to Narcotics Anonymous. But he says he doesn't want help until he reaches "rock bottom."
I'm no expert in these kinds of situations, but isn't that sort of *recovery* approach part of the problem?
