Visual Identity Program & Guidelines
Philander Smith College's updated brand identity reflects proudly upon the College's heritage with a contemporary and sophisticated flair. In addition to deepening the College's green and gold color palette, the brand signature is now distinguished by the full use of Philander Smith College in name in combination with the tagline, "Think Justice." The most prominent facet of the icon is the incorporation of the gold flame, a nod to the College's affiliation with the United Methodist Church and its status as a founding member of the United Negro College Fund. Most importantly, the facelift is a distinctive image that supports the emerging mission of Philander Smith College to graduate students grounded as advocates for social justice.
We encourage all offices to recycle any old stationery, publications and other print materials that contain outdated messages and feature the old College logo. Our office will work with you to reprint your materials using these guidelines and policies. Thank you for working with us to safeguard the College's reputation and public image.

The Blair County NAACP welcomed home one of its most favorite sons Saturday night.
Johnny Moore, Altoona's first and most accomplished NBA player who achieved stardom and had his uniform retired by the San Antonio Spurs, drew a packed house of 300-plus at the Calvin House and used the forum to thank the community for its role in his success.
"What I appreciate about Altoona is it gave me a sound foundation of education," he said. "Never forget your history."

Former NBA?player Johnny Moore signs an autograph for 13-year-old A.J. Labriola of Altoona?Saturday night at the Calvin?House.
The dinner always draws a diverse crowd with a particular emphasis on honoring young scholars and athletes.
Moore, 55, aimed his message at them, stressing "old school" accountability and responsibility.
"They don't talk about athlete-students," he said. "It's always student-athletes."
He talked about the tough love instilled by his father, Bill, and the encouragement offered by his mother, June, who often told him, "Baby, reach for that star, and if you don't get it, catch that moon beam."
Moore spoke about his parents, entertained with funny stories, and said although they have passed away, "I miss them, but love transcends the grave."
He mentioned past teachers and coaches who made a difference in his life. Moore was introduced by Tony Labriola, who coached him at Keith Junior High and taught him about mentoring and giving back.
Moore called Labriola "one of my favorite people in the world."
Just 4 years old when he went to kindergarten, Moore later had to prove himself on the hill - outdoor courts in the Fifth Ward overlooking Altoona and just down the street from the Booker T. Washington Center run by Don Witherspoon, the current NAACP president.
"The games on the hill were real," Moore said. "They taught us heart."
He went up against older players like his brother Billy and many others that he named Saturday night, and though his voice hadn't yet changed by the time he got to high school, his determination eventually led him to a scholarship at the University of Texas, where he became a four-year starter.
"Nobody in this town ever worked harder to hone his skills," Labriola said. "Johnny Moore became a star not because he was blessed with physical ability but because he worked to make his weaknesses his strengths."
Moore, who spent nine years in the NBA and now coaches in the San Antonio area, told stories about guarding Michael Jordan. He said he once dunked on Jordan, "and then I woke up," drawing laughs.
He also talked about his memories of the Altoona-Bishop Guilfoyle rivalry and playing in the Mansion Park Summer League, which put in a "Johnny Moore rule," that, he regretted, precluded players from coming back for just one or two games and being eligible for the playoffs (a rule that has since been changed).
Moore's presence "made a tremendous difference" in the anticipation and attendance of the dinner, Witherspoon said, and Mark Geis of Altoona City Council presented him with a proclamation and an honorary golden spike "for always being a great ambassador for Altoona."
Moore spoke for 40-plus minutes and received a standing ovation. He also joined in one to recognize honorees such as Alice Lawrence, a longtime NAACP committee chairperson and pillar in the community.
"I share my accolades with each and every one of you," Moore said. "We have an obligation for our kids, and I go back to this community that encouraged me."

Dr. Ted Brisson had the advantage of training with the revolutionary da Vinci surgical system starting in 2005, just a few years after its introduction, while in residency at the Mayo Clinic. Now, the urologist performs more than 100 da Vinci surgeries a year at the South Carolina Institute for Robotic Surgery, with many patients traveling to him from other parts of the state. While Dr. Brisson was the first in South Carolina to use da Vinci to repair vaginal vault prolapse, most of his da Vinci surgeries treat either kidney cancer or prostate cancer. Da Vinci's 3D magnification allows him better visualization and greater precision, which can mean less blood loss and faster recovery times.
"I saw what it was like for my grandfathers to go through prostate surgery. My patients don't have to face that same kind of prolonged recovery."

LOCKPORT – An updated indictment against a Niagara Falls woman, unsealed Friday, charged her with 69 counts of passing bogus checks and fraudulently using credit cards between April and July of this year.
The indictment against Tasheen N. Dillard, 32, of Cedar Avenue, supersedes one from two months ago that included only eight counts. Dillard pleaded not guilty in State Supreme Court.
Co-defendants in the indictment, all facing far fewer charges than Dillard, include Demetrius M. Davis, 33, of 16th Street, Niagara Falls; Akeyta M. Fambo, 29, of West Avenue, Buffalo; and Krystal H. Pesoncko, 21, of Johnson City.
Assistant District Attorney Brian D. Seaman said 13 individuals were victimized in the alleged scams. Dillard faces 35 counts of second-degree criminal possession of a forged instrument, 22 counts of identity theft, 10 counts of grand larceny and two counts of scheming to defraud.

As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Stem cell therapy is redeeming itself after striking failures. With therapies well into clinical trials, successes are accumulating.
Among the success stories is the first mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy to reverse the side effects of radiation for hematopoiesis, radiological burns, and gut disorders, which was developed at the Institute of Nuclear Safety in France.
"We have demonstrated that MSC treatment is a promising approach for the medical management of gastrointestinal disorders after irradiation, specifically in the context of acute cutaneous and muscle damage," reports researcher Alain Chapel, Ph.D. That work involved five patients at the Percy Hospital in Clamart, France. Three additional patients were successfully treated for over-exposure for pelvic radiotherapy.
Dr. Chapel will present details of his work this month at Select Biosciences' "Stem Cell" conference in San Diego. Several other speakers gave GEN a preview of their presentations as well.
Dr. Chapel insists that his method of using stem cell therapy as a treatment for radiation damage is unique. "All the other treatments for radiation accidents or over-dosage have failed.
"We are trying to improve the stem cell therapy of gut, muscle, and skin disorders after single-dose radiation. We use a fractionated dose of irradiation in rats, in a model close to radiotherapy, to reverse late side effects using different protocols of cell therapy." So far, Dr. Chapel's lab has evaluated adipose and gingival tissue. Induced pluripotent stem cells are under investigation.
Earlier work by Dr. Chapel showed that human MSCs migrated through bone marrow and other tissue, and indicated the possibility of targeted delivery. Engraftment appeared to be related to the dose and geometry of the irradiation.
SanBio began clinical trials last September for SB623, a therapy that restores motor function to stroke patients up to three years after the stroke. The standard treatment, in contrast, must be administered within four hours of the stroke for it to be effective.
In preclinical studies, motor function improvements were seen one week after administration and returned to near baseline (pre-stroke) levels in six months in rat models, according to Casey Case, Ph.D., vp of research. "The limitations or their potential in humans are not yet known."
SB623 is not a cell-replacement therapy. "It's a supportive cell therapy," Dr. Case emphasizes. It is allogeneic, not autologous, but doesn't require cyclosporine for immune suppression. It is injected directly into the impaired region, thus permitting lower doses without systemic effects. These cells are naturally eliminated by the body after about one month, although motor function seems to continue to improve. The working hypothesis is that these mesenchymal stem cells promote an environment in which damaged cells recover. "The exact mechanism of action, however, is still an area of active research," Dr. Case notes.
Six weeks into the Phase I/IIa trial, results appear promising. Dr. Case says that the first two patients have experienced no adverse events, and others are being actively recruited. No information is available yet regarding improvements in motor function. In addition to stroke treatment, it may also be useful in treating other neurological deficits, possibly including traumatic brain injury, Parkinson disease, and spinal cord injury.
The therapy is based upon MSCs from the bone marrow of normal, healthy donors. They are grown and transfected with the plasmid encoding notch1 and, ultimately, are stored cryogenically. Other projects using this same platform are in the early stages of development. SanBio has active developmental partnerships with Teijin Limited and Dainippon Sumitomo Pharma Co.
At Stanford University, researcher Paul Burridge, Ph.D., has developed a universal system to develop cardiomyocytes from stem cells. Dr. Burridge develops stem cells from skin fibroblasts or blood cells. "There are no good human models to test the cardiotoxicity of new drugs," Dr. Burridge explains. His work aims to resolve that situation by developing cardiomyocytes as a toxicity screen.
His mid-term objective is to make cardiomyocytes from patients with a given disease and try to recapitulate that disease. "Now, my work is looking to model disease. About seven percent of breast cancer patients experience chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxic effects." His goal is to determine why only a subset of breast cancer patients experience these effects and whether they can be stopped.
The long-term goal is to use these cardiomyocytes for engraftment. In this case, scientists can form a patch of cells like a band-aid that a surgeon could implant into the heart to improve cardiac function.
"We're about 10 percent of the way along," Dr. Burridge says. "We have a very effective way to turn stem cells into cardiomyocytes." The stem cell lines that differentiate into cardiomyocytes are not all identical. "Every stem cell line has its own level of gene expression, and not all are in a state that is suitable for differentiation. By putting them in 3-D forms with low oxygenation and special media to encourage differentiation (which includes growth factors), we can overcome some of those differences."
Typically, Dr. Burridge says, researchers perfect one cell line. "I've developed this method using 11 different cell lines, created in various ways and from various materials." Using that approach, "approximately 95 percent of the cell balls will contract. Of those cells, 60–70 percent are cardiomyocytes. The rest are mostly fibroblasts, which comprise about 50 percent of the heart."

Redken Blonde Glam Perfect Platinum
We're sorry, this product is no longer available.
Redken Blonde Glam Perfect Platinum neutralizes brassiness and preserves warm tones for ultra pale to light blonde locks.
Celia V.
Chicago, IL
Jul 6, 2011
Great Color, Okay Conditioning
I know a lot of blondes feel that the pearl formula (retired) of this product is superior. But, I never used that one- just this. My hair is naturally medium brown with red/blonde low/highlights but is now in it's second go-round of bleached light beige blonde. Wish I had this the first time! I've used it twice in one week because my roots are growing out and I very much do not want to go in for any root bleaching any time I can avoid it. My hair grows FAST and it's been bad enough to need 2-week intervals of highlights to one month intervals of root bleaching. Redken's Blonde Glam Perfect Platinum has made it so I can successfully avoid such damage and properly go about at least a 2-month wait before root bleaching. Brassiness isn't a huge issue for me but...there's always some, right blondies?
I am NOT using the rest of the line as I find Tigi's Dumb Blonde products more mild and conditioning BUT I still got pretty incredible results. Since it's gone to market, I've been lightly using John Freida's Sheer Blonde lightening spray (roots only...don't want to over-peroxide) as directed and never had more than yellow brass fixes with it.
My first use of Perfect Platinum banished some tough red brass thanks to summer sunshine. I did not use very much of the product (patch tested on both skin and hair first...no irritation whatsoever). The second go-round I made sure to part every dark-root revealing section and focus there. It looked a bit like I was in salon covered in (albeit nicely scented and moisturizing) toner. I left it in a bit longer than the recommended 6 minutes (about 8 total) after a mild sulfate-free shampoo/condition then a deep conditioning followed by PP on towel-dried hair. Smells nice, good texture, and that great violet color to combat brass. After this I sprayed my lightener on and voila: No more long dark roots. Now, it didn't look freshly bleached and had a natural-looking bit of root show. No brass, no two-tone, and even color. (It was after all this I put in the rest of my care products like Miracle leave in, etc).
Drawbacks: I found that using A LOT is much more effective than a small-medium amount. No fun. Also, even though it didn't leave my hair brittle or damaged I didn't find it to be "deeply conditioning" as the label suggests it is after a 6-minute treatment. I really do not think 3-6 minutes is sufficient but I'm sure much longer would also potentially leave hair dry.
Bottom Line: Great stuff. Just wish it conditioned as promised instead of mildly. It will, however, save me money and a possible chemical haircut from needing to bleach too frequently. It's definitely worth a try, blondes. It certainly helped the lightening spray efficacy.

Your article on the 35 years of Mountain Hardware contained some great history and background on the beginnings and growth of a very successful business. Truckee has been lucky to have such a gem here for all these years.
Unfortunately, the article omitted two important aspects of the success of the store. The four founders were terrific at creating a hardware store. But Mountain Hardware is so much more. The uniqueness of the store was the result of the creativity and business acumen of Dianne Jones. Dianne was the only spouse of the founders to be involved and she is the brains and hard worker that brought the huge diversity to the business.
The second omission in the article relates to the amazing staff that has been dedicated, knowledgeable and loyal over the years. The excellent, friendly and personal service they have provided each of their customers has been unfailingly superb.
Thirty-five years is a long time for a business to be at the top of its game. Here is hoping that it stays with us for 35 more.

The long Mundaun mountain range is an attractive hiking and skiing region. Innumerable hiking and bike trails give visitors a great deal to discover. A speedy scooter ride, a game of Pit Pat, an opportunity for gold panning and observing animals in the wild offer thrills and entertainment.
The deep gorges in this area prevented people from attending church services in the central hamlet of Meierhof, so 15 Baroque chapels were built in the "outposts" of Obersaxen. Today, a Walser Trail and a Chapels Trail tell the exciting history of the settlement.
In the charming scenery of this region, there are countless opportunities for hiking and a number of interesting themed walks. A hikers' bus brings walkers to the starting point for their excursion. For mountain bikers, there is a network of marked routes in this region. For excursions, the Valser valley with its new thermal baths, the holiday region of Flims, the monastery at Disentis or the town of Chur are all within easy reach.
In the snow-assured skiing area between Piz Mundaun (2064 m) and Piz Sezner (2310 m), winter sports fans will find 17 lifts and 120 km of slopes, mostly easy or average, at heights of from 1200 m to 2300 m. The joys of winter can also be experienced by non-skiers on 85 km of winter walks and numerous sledging runs.
- Obersaxen Walser Trail – informative themed walk about the history and life of the wandering Walser people.
- Chapels Trail – 12 pretty chapels, some beautifully painted, on the Obersaxen plateau.
- Piz Mundaun – family skiing area, linking the two holiday areas of Obersaxen and Val Lumnezia.
- Ilanz – a vibrant small town on the Rhine with picturesque and historic town center.
Top Events
- Hill climb in Obersaxen – a motorbiking event where you have to climb a virtually impregnable cliff face (June).
- Opera Viva Obersaxen – selected operas performed in the hamlet of Meierhof (July).

What: Trail Closure
When: July 9th – July 30th
Where: Arkansas River Trail
The Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department (AHTD) is rebuilding a section of Cantrell Road to improve safety. The job starts Monday July 9th, 2012. For approximately two (2) weeks during the course of construction, they plan to close the River Trail at the Union Pacific Railroad Overpass (east of the Episcopal School Campus) while they construct new storm sewers and sidewalks. The AHTD plans to open a temporary trail through the area after that portion of the work is complete. However, construction will continue for several months to come.
Everyone involved is aware that the trail is very popular and the AHTD is trying to minimize the time the trail is closed. Unfortunately, this is the only route through the area because of the railroad tracks. The nearest other crossing is at the Markham and 3rd Streets viaduct.
For any more information call Meg Matthews at (501) 371-4421 or email at email@example.com. Or the AHTD District 6 Office at (501) 569-2266.

Just when it seemed the Federal Aviation Administration could not have done worse, it trumped itself.
On the day the Families of Continental Flight 3407 marked the fourth anniversary of the loss of their loved ones, the FAA added to their grief by telling the families that it would further delay new regulations until June 2014. This after telling told Sen. Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y., it would get the job done this year.
But now the FAA has backtracked and apologized for giving out erroneous information to the families and, in a letter sent to Schumer, Administrator Michael P. Huerta said that he is still committed to completing the new regulations for pilot qualifications and training this year.
This unbelievable flip-flop – the FAA Tuesday had said it needed more time to redo the economic analysis involving the new pilot training rules – adds fuel to the belief that the agency is looking for any reason to delay implementing the changes. Just recently the Department of Transportation's inspector general highlighted the sluggish pace of the FAA in implementing the 2010 law. Some elements of the act have been put in place, but the effort is still far from complete.
One of the new regulations still not implemented would require that pilots train in a simulator on how to respond to stalls and other unexpected events. Capt. Marvin D. Renslow, pilot of Continental Connection Flight 3407, reacted incorrectly to an aerodynamic stall, sending the plane plummeting into a house in Clarence Center.
The Flight 3407 crash should have made implementation of new pilot training rules a cinch. Instead, industry pressure and FAA excuses have resulted in continuous delays and confusion.
Now the FAA says it is on track to meet both the August deadline for the pilot regulations and the October deadline for crew member training. That sounds good, but let's just say, we'll believe it when we see it.

What is Ben Affleck's follow-up act after his big Oscar win for Best Picture? A lot less Hollywood than some might think.
"Just sit back and take it in, not do anything, eat ice cream on the couch," Affleck, 40, said at Sunday's Chrysler-sponored 10th Annual Stuart House Benefit for child sexual assault victims, at the John Varvatos Boutique in West Hollywood.
"It's been a nice time hanging out with my wife, that sort of thing. We're enjoying it."
After the thrill of the awards season that saw Affleck earn critical praise and many trophies, including Golden Globe and Director's Guild wins for his political thriller Argo, he's happy to enjoy a little family time with his three children, including his newest, son Samuel, who turned 1 late last month.
Affleck told PEOPLE that while he was glad to put in the effort to support his movie, he's happy to move on to more balance and to engage in other meaningful work, which includes charities.
Part of his newfound relaxation look includes sporting a new starter beard after shaving his previous scruff off on Oscar night at Craig's restaurant. And although Fashion Star's Varvatos had plenty of great clothes at his store, Affleck said during the charity event that he wouldn't be shopping for a new look without the approval of his wife, Jennifer Garner – who remains director of his fashion life.
"You have the wrong idea about who is the boss in our house," he said kiddingly. "I just follow her around asking, 'How much? How much was that?' "

St. Louis — $7 may not seem like a lot of money these days, but it can go a long way to feeding those in need, thanks to the Share the Harvest Program.
As hunters take to the woods this fall, they'll be doing their part to help manage the deer herd. They can also help alleviate hunger in the St. Louis area with Share the Harvest.
The statewide Share the Harvest Program, sponsored by the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) and the Conservation Federation of Missouri, is a cooperative effort between hunters, meat processors and local charitable organizations. It provides food to the hungry through deer meat donated by hunters. Hunters can choose to give part or all of any deer they take. They bring their deer to an approved meat processor to process the venison, usually into ground meat, where it is then packaged for distribution.
"This is one of the programs I really enjoy working with," said St. Charles County Conservation Agent Becky Robertson. She was instrumental in bringing two St. Charles area processors into the program for 2010. Robertson pointed out, "A deer tag for a doe is only $7, and you can feed a family for a quite while on $7."
In the past, hunters have had to pay part of the processing costs for deer they donate to Share the Harvest. But thanks to help from two local charitable organizations, Operation Food Search and the Denny Dennis Memorial Fund, whole deer donated to approved processors will be processed completely free of charge to the hunter.
Share the Harvest can reimburse approved processors only part of the processing fee for each whole deer given to the program. Operation Food Search will subsidize the remainder, making processing completely free for donating hunters in the St. Louis area.
Operation Food Search operates out of a 25,000 square foot warehouse facility in University City, complete with industrial-size freezers and refrigerators. The organization functions as a master pantry that provides food to some 300 food banks within a 75 mile radius of St. Louis. It obtains all food through private donations and delivers it to the food banks free of charge. This food ultimately reaches about 120,000 people in need each month.
"For them to step in and pay for that other portion, it says a lot for their operation," said Robertson of Operation Food Search, "I think it's important to do our best to make it free to the hunter because sometimes they don't always have the extra $40 to $60 to have the deer processed," she added.
Once the limits of the Share the Harvest funds are reached, another organization, the Denny Dennis Memorial Fund, will kick in to subsidize the Operation Food Search contribution. The Denny Dennis Memorial Fund is named in honor of the late founder of Denny Dennis Sporting Goods in Fenton and has been a long-time sponsor of the Share the Harvest Program.
Five St. Louis County Share the Harvest processors participate in the program and offer no cost processing for hunters donating whole deer. These include Kenrick's Meats in St. Louis, John's Butcher Shoppe in Overland, G&W Meats and Bavarian Sausage in South County, Max's Meats and Deli in Florissant, and HMS Quality Meat Service of Kirkwood. In addition, Mateker's Meat Shop in Concord Village will process deer for the cost of the skinning fee.
Two processors in Jefferson County, Dittmer Meat Packing of Dittmer and John's Butcher Shop in Arnold, will also process free of charge whole deer donated to the Share the Harvest Program.
New for 2010, hunters can now bring their deer to either of two St. Charles County processors, Dan's Country Meats of New Melle or Josephville Meat Processing in Wentzville, for free processing under the Share the Harvest Program.
By subsidizing the cost of processing, Operation Food Search and the Denny Dennis Memorial Fund make it easier for St. Louis area hunters to donate deer for the Share the Harvest Program.
"There are people everywhere who are struggling and need the help" noted Robertson, "It does make you feel good to know that working for the Department, not only are you doing the deer management side of it, but you're also helping to feed people who need food."
To learn more about Operation Food Search, go to their website at www.ofsearch.org , or phone 314-726-5355. More information about the Share the Harvest Program can be found at the MDC's website, www.mdc.mo.gov, by searching keywords "share harvest", or by calling the Conservation Federation of Missouri at 573-634-2322.

Brain Machine Interfacing Technology
Just imagine, At the end of a busy day, you are sitting on the sofa and you need a hot cup of tea… You just thought for a cup of tea, and it step to you! Don't think me a mad or I'm not joking! This impossible thing can be possible by the help of BMI or Brain Machine Interfacing Technology!
What Is It?
Brain Machine Interfacing is such a technology, by using which a device can work by taking Neural Signal from a human brain! Especially it's being designed for those patients who are severely paralyzed! Basically scientists are designing this technology for severely paralyzed patients that they can react with the world as a normal human being!
Base of BMI
When any part of our body gets paralyzed, all the sensors of that part get disconnected from our brain! Means, if our brain sends a signal to that particular paralyzed part of our body, it is unable to get that signal, BMI works here! Its main purpose is to take and understand those signals, analyze it and then sending it to that part of our body! By using this system, user can move cursor on the computer screen also! But these all are imaginations! To do it in real, all the scientists of IEEE and others are in experiment!
Signal Acquiring
In this case two type of technology used! 1) Non-invasive and 2) Invasive
For Non-invasive electrode are placed on the scalp to acquire signal and for the second one micro electrode are pushed into the central position of brain. In this case signal quality is too good because invasive electrode collects signals for each and every neuron separately whether Non-invasive electrode collects signal from the outer surface of brain. But in case of Invasive the electrode surgery bar used may cause damage of brain! That is why scientists are working more with non-invasive technology in place of invasive one!
Size of BMI
Scientists of Pittsburg have discovered a BMI which is as smaller as a Aspirin! It is named as Brain Gate. Brain Gate has successfully worked on a monkey and the on a paralytic patient of age 25! By using this BMI, the patient was successful to change TV channel, reading e-mails, switching on-off the fan etc.
At Last...
This was a little bit about BMI Technology! It has no doubt that it will be very helpful for those paralyzed patients but don't know how much it will be helpful for a normal human being!

Re: Brain Machine Interfacing Technology
Now you have started this conversation in this thread which is wrong.
To clarify:
I don't know what Brain Machine Interfacing is. I accept.
But I know that it's some kind of technology.
And I also told this before that Body Mass Index is nowhere close to the technology. You should have understood it before posting the answer.

Dear Experts,
I have posted a bolg on SCN on "SAP ERP Manufacturing - Production Planning (SAP PP)" Topic "Understanding Production Order Variance - Part 1". Kindly let me know what is the procedure for publishing the blog and how points will be assigned.
Hi Ranjit,
The procedure for publishing the blog is as follows.
1. The author prepares the draft and submits the same in the weblog.
2.An expert in the corresponding area will review the blog, it will take mazimum of 2 weeks.
3.If the blog is ok to be published, it will be published.
4.Or if correction needed, then it will be sent back to the author to do the changes.
The points will be provided based on the reaction of the readers such as likes, comments. Considering those parameters, the expert will assign points to your blog.
Hi, Leon.
I'm not sure about reviewing procedure in New SCN. It seems that it's gone. Today I create a blog post in SCN Support space, hit the publish button and that's it. And also I've seen some blog posts in topic spaces with questions from folks. Such questions... definitely for discussions, you know. So they were published and then deleted by authors or moderators, I believe.
Thanks Andrei for the information. I was not aware of this.
Hello everyone.
The process is different in the new SCN. Blogs are published right away, as soon as the author saves and hits publish. 10 points are assigned automatically to the blog and additional feedback points are assigned when the community reacts on the content by liking, ratings (4 or 5 stars) and sharing it. For more information, see the FAQ about recognition and points.
Ranjit: I checked your reputation tab (user profile) and didn't see any points. I created a ticket and will see what IT finds out. Ticket # is 1554.
Andrei: Yes you are right. Content should be created where and how it is supposed to be. A question must be created as a Discussion thread. A document cannot be used for a question, and we Moderators delete these when we see them, after notifying the author to republish. We urge the community to hit the abuse report button to raise such issues, we want to ensure quality in the topic spaces.
Best regards,
Thank you, Laure, for the answer.
Thank you, Laure. Yes as soon I hit publish the blog got published. But no points were assigned. Thank you for raising the ticket.
But I suppose reviewing all the blogs by the moderators before publishing was the right procedure.
Thanks all..
Hi Ranjit,
This really helped a lot,... gr8 work done!
Thanks for the information Laure.
Hi Laure,
It happened with me as well. The points did not get assigned after I published my blog. Could you please check.
Thanks & Regards,
Hi Leon,
I've added your name to the list of people with this issue. Thank you for your patience as we are looking to fix this.
Hi Laure,
Thanks for the info. I was having 129 points before posting the blog. Even after publishing I have not been assigned any points. Kindly check.
Ranjit Simon John Leon Limson IT came back to me, they could not reproduce the issue. Before I follow up with them, can you confirm that you drafted and published the blog in the topic space, e.g. ERP, CRM, etc?
If you create a blog in your personal space (e.g. mine is called "laure.cetin"), there will be no points assigned. And when you move the blog to a space such as ERP or CRM, the 10 points for blog creation are not assigned either. You just start accruing points for feedback given by the community: likes, stars etc.)
Let me know what exactly you did.
Hi Laure,
Thanks for your reply. That's what exactly I did. I have then deleted it and created a new post in the Topic space. Then it worked

The outgoing top executive of Charleston County's airports paints a picture of an agency where some board members sought favors for friends and relatives, according to her July 23 letter of resignation.
Former Airports Director Sue Stevens, who also said she was belittled by the all-male board because she is a woman, is seeking "a fair severance." Otherwise, she said, she plans to pursue legal action for gender discrimination. Stevens was being paid $211,000 per year at the time of her resignation.
State Rep. Chip Limehouse, the former chairman of Charleston County Aviation Authority who had clashed with Stevens while running the board, said Friday he had not seen the letter. But he believes her departure "is all about money" stemming from a request for a pay increase and contract she didn't receive a year ago.
Limehouse described her complaints about discrimination as "a red herring."
The Post and Courier obtained a copy of the five-page letter from another source after the Aviation Authority refused to disclose it Thursday. Authority attorney Arnold Goodstein said the document could not be released because it was "incidental to proposed contractual arrangements."
Stevens did not have a contract with the Aviation Authority, but Goodstein said the letter involved an unspecified settlement she was seeking, which shielded it from disclosure under the state's Freedom of Information Act until it is resolved.
"Between now and Sept. 30, I am willing to negotiate an amicable resolution of this matter," Stevens said in the letter. "Specifically, in exchange for a fair severance, I will sign a full release."
She goes on, "If (the Aviation Authority) is not interested in negotiating a fair severance, I intend to file a charge of gender discrimination with the S.C. Human Affairs Commission and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission as well as a slander claim in state court. What has happened to me should not be allowed to happen to other women, and the public has a right to know how badly some members of this board behave."
Stevens did not provide names of board members involved in personal attacks in her letter. She did mention Limehouse in his capacity as former chairman. He was replaced as chairman in January. Limehouse still serves on the board but sends a proxy to meetings.
In her letter, Stevens outlines her accomplishments during her 26 years with the Aviation Authority, seven of them as executive airports director, saying she "exceeded expectations."
She pointed out her help in shepherding Boeing Co. to airport property, envisioning the $189 million expansion of the terminal at Charleston International Airport, establishing a team to recruit new airlines to Charleston and overseeing other major projects.
"Instead of being recognized for my performance, I have been criticized and demeaned by the board," Stevens said. "No man would be treated this way."
She believes some airport board members will never be satisfied with her performance because "I am not one of the good ol' boys. Based on their actions, it is clear to me they believe I am an incompetent woman not worthy of their respect or even civility. ... Several male members repeatedly and routinely treat me with disdain, belittle me due to my gender, and continuously wage a negative campaign against me," Stevens said.
She also said efforts to bring up her salary after three years without a merit pay increase fell on deaf ears, saying Limehouse's standard answer was "that we had too much going on to deal with that issue and to ask him about it later."
Limehouse said Friday: "She constantly badgered me for a pay increase and an employment package. I have a philosophical problem with that. I don't believe public employees should have employment packages. They should serve at will."
He said he was willing to talk about a raise but wanted to get other pressing issues, such as terminal redevelopment, the landing of JetBlue Airways and a land deal with Boeing handled first. "That was something that was a sidebar," Limehouse said of the raise issue.
When Stevens placed her compensation on the agenda during a board meeting last summer after Limehouse told her not to, she said Limehouse retaliated by trying to seize oversight of the director's job in September.
The board originally went along with the coup but later changed its mind.
Limehouse said only the chairman can set the agenda, not the executive director.
"Once that happened, she became combative," he said.
Stevens said Limehouse then tried to attack her integrity by questioning her travel expenses, "implying that I did something wrong."
Limehouse responded, "She had been running her own act. I was trying to get a handle on exactly what was happening."
He said he asked for her work schedule, time off and speaking engagements.
"We weren't trying to harass her. All of these times she said the board was harassing her, we weren't getting any answers," Limehouse said. "It didn't become an issue until she wanted money."
Stevens' attorney, Nancy Bloodgood, declined to respond to Limehouse's remarks.
In another instance, Stevens learned that some board members believed she was hiding negative management letters made by auditing firms when clean opinions had been issued for several years. On July 23, the day she resigned, she asked the auditor to present the last five years of audit reports to the board.
"To state or imply that negative management letters were kept from the board by me is a very serious allegation that is false and infers, at the best, I am incapable of performing my job and, at the worst, that I am acting in a deceptive and illegal manner," wrote Stevens, who previously was the agency's finance director. "This pattern of innuendo and unfounded attacks on my reputation has been unabated and continues to the present."
Stevens goes on to say, "Some of the members on this board have improperly asked me to provide favors, jobs and employment benefits for their friends and relatives. They appear to me to be motivated solely to provide financial gain for themselves and their friends and relatives."
Limehouse said he was unaware of the allegations.
Stevens mentioned a former airport board member's relationship with a construction venture that has a lead role in the $189 million redevelopment and expansion of the passenger terminal at Charleston International. She said that the former board member "received a $17,000 contract to perform 'management' service for Austin/Hitt, then recently de-partnered from Austin/Hitt so his company could move to the construction side of the terminal redevelopment project and start bidding on construction projects. When I have objected to these improper and unethical actions, I have been treated rudely and condescendingly in public."
She went on to say she complained to Limehouse "about breaches of policy and ethics, but I was told, 'The procedures are what I say they are.'"
Stevens also said after one board meeting she found a check for $1,000 made payable to Limehouse's campaign in a folder with a company brochure providing information about the construction management firm. "The board later voted to give work to this particular company."
She did not name the company.
Limehouse said he couldn't remember the name of the contributor, but he said no one received work because of a campaign contribution.
"I get campaign contributions all the time," he said. "At no time was any of that related. She is trying to damage as many people as possible."
Stevens' reference to the contribution raised the eyebrows of the Aviation Authority's current chairman, attorney Andy Savage. He has asked state officials to see if it was improper or not.
He has not received a report on those findings.
EDITOR'S NOTE: Earlier versions of this story did not contain Stevens' annual salary, which had been previously reported.
