OXFORD – Mike Harris says countless variables can be managed in the quest for more effective parking and transportation strategies on the University of Mississippi campus.
But just as important, he says, is managing expectations.
"When I go to the doctor's office, I expect to sit there for 45 minutes before I see the doctor. When I go to a drive-through, I don't expect to be sitting for 30 minutes waiting on a cheeseburger," said Harris, who joined Ole Miss as director of parking and transportation on Feb. 24 after 14 years at Mississippi State University. "It's all about expectation levels and … modifying that."
Harris will oversee a host of changes as constant construction on the campus closes some roads and parking lots, creates new ones, offers new strategies from more public transit and a fast-tracked parking garage to smart-phone apps that can help identify open parking spaces.
"We can't just build new parking indefinitely; when you're looking at a parking garage or a classroom building, obviously academics have to have the priority," he said. "We've got to look at everything – van pools, permits and incentives for carpooling, transit, timed-fee parking."
For visitors, the possibilities include time-based paid parking in the 825-space, five-story garage that's fast-tracked for completion in August or metered spaces around campus.
One of the most high-profile challenges for Harris and his colleagues will be improving Ole Miss' football game-day experience. Last fall, new parking restrictions, successive traffic- handling changes and shuttle snafus angered many football fans, with some reporting being trapped for hours in post-game traffic.
"I think game days will always be an evolving event. You won't ever get to perfect," Harris said.
One principle he'll advocate strongly is letting changes prove themselves.
"You can't make a major change every game, because people will never know what to do. You've really got to get that full season of work on these changes and see if they work or don't work," he said.
"We want everyone to come to campus and have a great experience, but when you start adding 60, 70 or 80 thousand people in a town of 20,000, obviously the infrastructure is overwhelmed. We understand that folks want to get home, but so do the other 80,000 people. Folks need to see the big picture: You can sit in your car, or you can visit with the people around you."

Researchers from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University have made a discovery that may change the way individuals are treated for genital herpes and oral herpes.
"We've essentially identified the molecular 'key' that herpes viruses use to penetrate cell membranes and infect cells of the human body," said researcher Betsy Herold, M.D.
Scientists involved in the study previously found that infection by the herpes viruses depends on calcium released within the cells. With this study, they discovered that this calcium release occurs because the viruses activate a critical cell-signaling molecule called Akt at the cell membrane.
For the study, they took laboratory cultures of human cells and mixed them with four different drugs known to inhibit Akt. The cells were then exposed for one hour to herpes simplex virus 2, the virus that causes genital herpes.
They found that all four drugs significantly inhibited herpes virus infection in each of the cell types. However, cells not pretreated with the Akt inhibitors were readily infected once exposed to the virus.
Researchers said that the finding could lead to new drugs that may inhibit the cell-signaling molecule and reduce outbreaks of the sexually transmitted disease.
"Our findings indicate that inhibiting Akt should be a useful therapeutic strategy to pursue," said Herold.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that one out of six individuals between the ages of 14 and 49 have genital herpes. However, the STD is more common among women than men. It causes painful sores in the genital area and mouth.
Individuals contract the virus by having sex with a person with herpes. While it is more common to transmit the disease when an outbreak is underway, it can also be released from skin that does not appear to have a sore.
There is currently no cure for the herpes virus. Antiviral medications can prevent or shorten outbreaks in some patients, but experts state that new treatments are needed.

As a side note he has only just started the wimpering pain after he had a tick attack about a month ago, so I dont know if that may have sped things along or not, he only spent a night in the vets and was over the tick pretty fast as I found it pretty soon.

LOS ANGELES — California was lashed yesterday by heavy rains that the parched state so desperately needs, though with the soaking came familiar problems: traffic snarls, power failures and the threat of mudslides.
Even with rainfall totals exceeding 8 inches in some southern California mountains by afternoon, the powerful Pacific storm did not put a major dent in the drought that is among the worst in recent California history.
The first waves of the storm drenched foothill communities east of Los Angeles that just weeks ago were menaced by a wildfire — and now faced potential mudslides. Mandatory evacuation orders were issued for about 1,200 homes in the area.
Forecasters expected the storm to last through today in California before trundling east into similarly rain-starved neighboring states. Phoenix was expecting its first noticeable precipitation in two months. The storm was projected to head east across the Rockies before petering out in the Northeast in several days.
The threat of mudslides will last at least through tonight. Tornadoes and waterspouts also are possible.
Rainfall totals in parts of California were impressive.
Downtown Los Angeles received about 2 inches — doubling its total for the rainy season that began in July, the National Weather Service said. The city remained 7 inches below the normal 11 inches. The last time a storm dumped 2 inches of rain in Los Angeles was March 2011.
"We need several large storms, and we just don't see that on the horizon. This is a rogue storm," National Weather Service meteorologist Eric Boldt said. "We will dry out next week."
But for this rain, the service said, this would have been the driest December–through-February on record in Los Angeles.
In Glendora, a city about 25 miles east of Los Angeles that sits beneath nearly 2,000 acres of steep mountain slopes stripped by fire in January, a muddy soup of debris began to fill catch basins. With the vegetation gone, little held the dirt and rock in place.
Andrew Geleris, 59, of Pomona, spent the night with his 87-year-old mother at her home near one of the catch basins. "I tried to talk her into evacuating yesterday," he said, "but she's just stubborn."
Meteorologists posted flood watches for many other areas denuded by fires over the past two years, and warned of potential coastal flooding.
Rain also fell along the central coast, the San Francisco Bay area and Central Valley.
Winter-storm warnings were in effect in the Sierra Nevada. About 15 inches of new snow had fallen by midday yesterday at the University of California-Berkeley's Central Sierra Snow Lab, located at 6,900 feet elevation.
Earlier in the week, the state Department of Water Resources found that the Sierra snowpack had water content at only 24 percent of average for the date.
"All these (storm) events move us a little higher up, but we're still well below average," said researcher Randall Osterhuber.
In neighboring Fresno County, a man was struck by lightning while looking for work at an oil field, officials said. He was found unconscious and taken to the hospital.
Numerous traffic accidents occurred on slick or flooded roads across California, including one about 60 miles east of Los Angeles involving a big rig whose driver died after falling from a freeway overpass.
Two men and their dogs were rescued from the swift waters of the Los Angeles River. A few miles downriver, another man was pulled out and carried to safety. Hundreds of miles north in San Jose, firefighters also pulled a man from swollen Coyote Creek near a homeless encampment.
Power outages hit about 32,000 customers, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power and Southern California Edison said.

A poor programmer blames the language. – Programming Proverbs
I've been a polyglot developer (works in many languages) for a number of years now but a few years ago when I was first learning Ruby I use to hate it, not because there was anything worth hating but because it removed many of the misconceptions I had about programming languages in a way that forced me to forget what I had learned and relearn from scratch. Three to four years later I almost exclusively code in Ruby and don't want to use anything else. When you hear someone complaining about a language, or a library or anything for that matter, step back and look at their situation. It's not to say that there aren't languages that suck, but we humans tend to focus our own inadequacies at what we don't yet understand and you'll see this a lot in software development.

- Linear estimate of the number of limit cycles for a class of non-linear systems

- Zhang, Tonghua; Tade, Moses O.; Tian, Yu-Chu
- Abstract
- A dynamic system has a finite number of limit cycles. However, finding the upper bound of the number of limit cycles is an open problem for general non-linear dynamical systems. In this paper, we investigated a class of non-linear systems under perturbations. We proved that the upper bound of the number of zeros of the related elliptic integrals of the given system is 7n + 5 including multiple zeros, which also gives the upper bound of the number of limit cycles for the given system.

By Sharna Johnson
CMI columnist
Salt shakers clutched tightly in little hands, the army of bored children would march out the back door and into the yard, eyes peeled for the target.
The mission consumed pent up energy and invariably sent children darting this way and that as salt crystals flew through the air and disappeared into the grass.
In short time, the yard was as still and quiet as Carthage, with all life forms on the run save the salting marauders — but that hope that just one bird would let its guard down long enough to get salted and captured fed the momentum sometimes for hours.
Us kids were convinced by the adults that if we could sprinkle salt on a bird's tail feathers, we would be able to catch it. The problem was, no bird in its right mind was going to be salted and getting close enough was just plain impossible.
It was nothing more than a genius ploy by adults to get the kids out of their hair, outside and active — and it worked because hope springs eternal and there was always that chance that sooner or later somebody was going to salt themselves a new friend.
If just one kid had returned to the house with a bird in hand, it would have changed everything, but, protected by their propensity for flight, the birds always eluded and they always prevailed.
A fact the grown-ups knew full well.
Wild things always run, and most of the time they get away.
Sure, some predators are fast and or clever enough to turn the tables, but for every one prey animal they catch, there are a lot more that they miss making that instinct to run and not get caught a proven life saver.
But instinct gets a lot of credit, perhaps too much sometimes and the truth of the matter is, wild things don't just run for the sake of running, or because it is hardwired involuntary programing.
They actually run because they have probable cause to do so — and when they don't need to, they don't.
Testing a theory held by Charles Darwin — who noticed that island animals did not flee humans and instead often interacted with people — an Indiana researcher studied almost 70 lizards of different species from around the world.
Recording the distance at which a lizard would flee when approached by a human, what William Cooper Jr. found was those which hailed from island habitats were less likely to panic and bolt and those from remote islands were even more approachable.
Needless to say, because it has the potential to backfire, island parents probably don't pull the salt shaker hoax on their kiddos.
Island wildlife being more relaxed and less fearful might have something to do with living in paradise, which is bound to make just about anyone a little happier and sure to lend itself well to advertising campaigns.
More likely, however, it has everything to do with the absence of predators.
Even if there are a couple of predators lurking about on an island, the other inhabitants are sure to know them and their habits well enough to stay safe without developing an anxiety disorder.
On isolated islands where little changes, generation after generation of wildlife can kick back and relax in the knowledge that nothing means to harm them.
The instinct to flee, it seems, is not dictated by a genetically programmed precursor to fear, but is, rather, a consequence of reality — something it's refreshing to know hasn't made its way to every corner of the planet just yet.

Significant victories
The Comité Champagne's legal department is constantly hard at work defending the Champagne name. Disputes come in all shapes and sizes. Some may be settled out of court, some go to trial. Some are landmark cases that set a legal precedent.
Direct competition
- 1960: Case against 'Spanish Champagne', in London
- 1972: Japan agrees not to use the name 'Champagne'
- 1973: Bilateral reciprocal protection agreement between France and Spain
In 1960, the British High Court ruled against so-called 'Spanish Champagne', a sparkling wine distributed in Great Britain. This opened the way to legal action in defence of Champagne throughout countries under British jurisdiction. It also set a useful precedent for other countries including Spain. The campaign was subsequently expanded to address cases of indirect competition from non-alcoholic beverages, with successful prosecutions for fraud
Indirect competition
- 1987: Case against Perrier mineral water in Germany
- 1994: Case against « Elderflower Champagne » in Great Britain
'Perrier' and 'Elderflower' casesThe first case involved a German publicity campaign for Perrier mineral water, which traded off Champagne's reputation with the slogan: 'The Champagne of mineral waters'. The second case involved a sparkling elderflower juice on sale in Great Britain in Champagne-shaped bottles, with the words 'Elderflower Champagne' on the label.
Misuse of reputation
- 1984: Case against 'Champagne' cigarettes, in France
- 1990: Case against 'Schaumpagner Paris-Night', in Switzerland
- 1993: Case against 'Champagne de Yves Saint Laurent' perfume, in France
- 2002: Case against 'Arla: the yoghurt with the taste of Champagne', in Sweden

Learning that one of the nuns in training -- Sister Sunday (MARLEY SHELTON), who's questioning her religious oath -- has a basketball background, Cathy enlists her as her assistant coach. The two then set out to mold the girls, including Mary (LAUREN BITTNER), Lizanne (KIM BLAIR), Trish (KATIE HAYEK), Colleen (KATE NOWLIN) and Rosemary (MARGARET ANNE FLORENCE), into a team rather than a set of individuals.
With little support from anyone else and nearly no money to finance their road trips and more, Cathy does what she can to convince herself, her husband, Sister Sunday and everyone else at the college that what they're doing is something remarkable. As the team finally starts to win its games, they then strive to make it all of the way to and through the national championship.
Of course, for anyone familiar with the real life tale of the Mighty Macs of Immaculata College back in 1971 and coach Cathy Rush who led them to national prominence in a fledgling women's sport, nothing about that seems strange. And none of it is. I was actually referring to the fact that a G-rated film about the woman and those past events is getting a national theatrical release. After all, the movie industry seems to be highly adverse to any films of that rating that aren't animated or at least targeted at very young kids, or are highly specialized documentaries.
Granted, that rarity reportedly almost never occurred as the story took a long time to get the filmmaking green light, and once it was finally completed, it had a devil of a time finding someone to finance its release in more than a handful of theaters. If anything, it's surprising this didn't suffer the fate of going straight to video as it simply doesn't have the look of a film that will appeal to the audiences that Hollywood seems to favor courting.
Had that occurred, viewers likely would have missed the opportunity of catching this little flick that's a decent offering and slight variation of the usual period sports drama. After all, we've seen countless flicks featuring male coaches showing up and motivating collegiate or professional teams to come together, overcome problems and succeed at whatever their sports calling might be. For example, think of "Hoosiers" and Gene Hackman's character doing just that.
In "The Mighty Macs," Carla Gugino takes over that part in the role of real-life coach Cathy Rush who arrived at Immaculata in the 1970s to find a team in great disarray. In full disclosure, I had never heard of this story, so I can't attest to what's the truth and what, if anything, has been created or at least modified in order to flesh out and dramatize the tale to some greater extent.
The result is an offering that's suitable for most of the entire family (read our parental review for two slightly sexually related elements that probably could have earned a PG rating) and ends up fairly entertaining despite traveling down a well-trodden, familiar and predictable path forged by other sports dramas before it.
Gugino is good in the lead as the woman who simply wants to do something beyond being a wife and future mother to the kids of her NBA ref husband (David Boreanaz whose only real purpose in the film is to raise objections to her dream before taking the 180 route and fully supporting her at the end). The fact that she's an unintentional leader in the women's liberation movement is smartly underplayed by writer/director Tim Chambers, although some viewers and critics may think the film misses the boat by not playing that up.
Marley Shelton plays a young nun who's questioning her oath of religious service and ends up as the assistant coach. Her PG-related activities demonstrate her lack of full commitment, but the filmmakers don't fully commit to her either as her character is only partially fleshed out and remains unnamed (the press kit lists her as Sister Sunday).
But she fares better than the girls playing for them, with only a few (such as Kim Blair as a girl looking forward to marrying her boyfriend, and Katie Hayek as a poor girl) getting slight story attention. That also holds true for most of the nuns save for the one played by veteran actress Ellen Burstyn who spends most of the film rightly concerned about the school likely being sold to developers. The other sisters and female athletes are just present to fill out the rest of their respective squads, if you will.
Even so and despite not treading any new overall plot mechanics, the film works in its underdog story (although it surprisingly never brings up the obvious David vs. Goliath comparison) and actually emotionally engaged this hardened critic on more than one occasion. "The Mighty Macs" might not be the champion of sports dramas, but it's entertaining and easy to watch. As a result, it rates as a 6 out of 10.

Look closely into Velma Kellys eyes at Wednesdays staging of the musical Chicago.
Shell have a secret. And just what that secret might be, you may never know.
The secret, whatever it is, is what will make or break the dancing in Chicago, the Troika Entertainment version of the popular Broadway hit that will be staged in Amarillo as the finale of this seasons Civic Amarillo Broadway Spotlight Series.
That secret is part of the mix that adds the spark to the Bob Fosse-inspired dancing in Chicago, originally staged by the dance master in 1975 and re-imagined for a phenomenally successful 1997 revival.
The style of Fosse is very explicit and has a lot of meaning behind every movement, said Heather Parcells, who plays Velma. Its not kicking just to kick, just to look pretty. ... The movements are very subtle, very tiny. Fosse created movements that had subtext. If youre close enough to see our eyes, you can see that theres always something back there.
The tour shows choreographer told the cast to think of a secret as a way to convey that subtext. But you can bet that Velmas secret probably wont be what Parcells jokingly suggested in a telephone interview last week, that Velmas going commando sans underwear, that is.
Maybe it will be that Parcells is pretty new to the whole acting game.
Though the Newport News, Va., natives first role on stage was in a minor role in Anything Goes as a ninth-grader, the acting bug didnt even start to bite for another two years. When she started looking around at colleges as a junior, she had little formal acting training, no dance classes and had only practiced her monologue for her father.
Even so, she got accepted to four of the five colleges she applied for and eventually attended Florida State University, where she realized that acting truly was for her.
I really wouldnt say the bug bit me until I was in college and really realized what it was all about, she said.
But though she got ensemble roles in shows like Pippin and The Threepenny Opera, she never got a lead. That had to wait until last summer, after she graduated, with a North Carolina production of Carousel.
After a couple of more shows, Parcells headed to the Big Apple, dreams of Broadway in her eye.
Well, thats not quite true.
When she arrived in town on Aug.2, her first goal was just to find a place to live, which she did on Aug. 15. Two days later, she was cast in Chicago, and now shes looking forward to a day she can actually live in that new apartment.
Perhaps that secret will be that shes quite a bit younger than Velma.
Im 22 years old and havent lived through nearly as much as (Velma and co-lead Roxie Hart) have. In order to create that role, you really have to pay attention to people who are really wise and in control, people that dont have to do anything to radiate power, Parcells said.
Velma is all about control, after all. In a Chicago jail for shooting her husband and her sister after discovering them in bed together, she has become the top gal both behind bars and in the media.
She has publicity up the wazoo, Parcells said. Everyone is talking about Velma because its the crime of the year.
That is, until Roxie Hart pulls a trigger, kills her lover and frames her husband.
Roxies publicity knocks down Velmas publicity. ... Velmas plight throughout the entire show is figuring out a way to come back out on top, the actress said.
The show likely was too dark for 1975 audiences, but its revival came out at a propitious time: during the O.J. Simpson trial.
The theme of the show is how the press is so manipulative and so sensational that it can make anybody believe anything, Parcells said.
So Roxie and Velma are celebrated for their fabulous star qualities, not condemned because theyre cold-blooded killers.
Were so susceptible to the scandalization of horrible things, ... (so) this revival came out at the perfect time. ... This story has become timeless, Parcells said.
Maybe that secret in Parcells eye is that shes not as experienced a dancer as most who are cast as Velma.
Until shortly before she started college, Parcells had little dance experience to speak of.
I did the cheerleading thing when I was younger, she said. Well, cheerleading in preparatory school is not dance heavy. ... So I decided before I got to college that Id have to take at least some ballet.
She squeezed in eight classes in two months.
It came easy to me, so I really enjoyed it, she said. ... You get out of it what you put into it, and I put everything into it.
Maybe thats her secret.

text: Recently my husband and I bought our first home. It is a small house that was built in 1915. There is paneling in the majority of the house except for the bathroom and spare bedroom which has the plaster walls which seem to be in relatively good shape. I really hate the paneling and want to remove it, plus there are a lot of holes in the paneling from nails and where it has been broken. I have removed some of the paneling to see what it looked like and it had old wallpaper on it and there are the firing (sp?) strips nailed all over the walls that the paneling was nailed to. I took off one firing strip as carefully as I could but the holes left are bigger than a regular nail hole because it kind of crumbled a little. I am afraid that after taking all the strips down that I might cause more damage than what it is worth and I am also wondering if paneling was put up to cover up larger holes? I don't want tear down the plaster because of cost sake, I was thinking just repair the walls as needed with new plaster. I am working with a budget, and so we are just doing a room at a time. I just want to get other peoples advice before I start ripping all the paneling down. Will this be a bigger headache than it is worth?

I agree about Isaiha. We all remember how the team and Thomas all mailed in the rest of the season after Dumb Dolan signed him.
But enough about Thomas, it's too early to open that endless debate on him again.
Being Pragmatic like I always am, I don't see Nelso or Van Gundy coming back.
Nelson was excommunicated from NYC after the city turned against him many years ago during his short stay as coach.
As for Van Gundy, he wanted nothing to do with Dolan. He saw the writing on the wall when Dolan took the helm and left before the franchise became the embarrasment in the league and city that they are now.
Yeas later, he still would not be welcomed in the city after he pretty much told Dolan "F#%k You, I don't want anything to do with your vision"

Anglican Nuns Become Catholic
William Oddie, Catholic Herald
I have had, as we all have, many good moments in my life as a Catholic (greatly outweighing the inevitable bad ones); but yesterday was one of the very best. Have I ever, I try to recall, had such a vivid sense of how glorious it is to be a Catholic, of the transcendent splendor of the Catholic life? Probably, but I wonder if any liturgy ever passed off with such an exultant sense of joyful celebration? I am referring, as some of you who read my last post may have surmised, to the reception of 11 sisters led by their mother Superior (all the active ones) now formerly of the Community of St Mary the Virgin in Wantage, into the Catholic Church, and their formal erection (joined by another former Anglican sister who had already been received) as a new community by the Ordinary...

I shouldn't laugh at a kid, but this is too funny. You guys gotta watch this awkward white kids 3 minute rap for Jesus.
If I was that kids parents there's no way I'd let that have been released. Funny and sad, thank you.

Whenever I see a young person that is really into this religious non-sense, I think to myself "What a Waste of 'Time and Energy' ~ that's a real Shame "
Signature ? How ?
It's sad cuz this kid doesn't know any better, and judging by his wicked hammer pants, high tops, and dance moves I'm thinkin this is like 1987 or something so the kids like 35 now. This video just went viral recently getting over a million hits, I'm sure he has been outed in the present, could you imagine his co-workers evertime he walks in the room "god is doing a new thaang." Dance moves behind his back everywhere he goes. Poor kid, so embaressing, I'd love to see a follow up story, maybe his rap career is just about to take off...
Oh man, I have to eat my words a little, haha, I tracked the kid down, he actually is a rapper named Mac Miller. Not horrible actually, looks like he did grow out of it, still embarressing as hell though, here he is all grown up:
Getting into a serious argument with his rap producers haha:
I shouldn't laugh at a kid, but this is too funny. You guys gotta watch this awkward white kids 3 minute rap for Jesus.
This makes me feel good about my ability to dance.
Thanks for Ray William Johson to make the video go viral
Anyway, I think it's pretty normal. In my church they don't like rapping, but otherwise they might have allowed it. They are always searching for ways to keep the young people engaged, so having someone rap about Jeebus seems like a normal next step to me...

We all know the challenges marketers face in creating engaging content that not only captures the attention of prospects, but also delivers value to existing customers. We also know from recent studies that social savvy consumers look to their peers to learn about new products and services. Recommendations from peers—as opposed to those from brand marketers—come with a higher level of trust and authenticity. As such, leveraging the voice of your customers for word-of-mouth marketing is one of the most powerful ways for marketers to supplement their content marketing strategy.
Word-of-mouth marketing is no different in the age of the social customer; it's about people who like your products and services—brand advocates—telling other people about the value of your company's offerings. But it's not just important to know this; marketers need to find effective ways to operationalize word-of-mouth marketing in a way that generates leads.
So how can marketers effectively leverage word-of-mouth marketing to increase brand awareness, boost conversions, and drive revenue? Imagine a giant room where your customers are interacting with prospects and recommending your products and services based on their genuine belief in the value of your company's offerings. Add to this the ability to take your customers' endorsements and leverage them as part of your content marketing strategy. The version of this imagined room exists in the form of a branded "customer community."
Customer communities connect prospects to existing customers and help marketers leverage the voice of their customers as vibrant, dynamic marketing content that can drive new customer acquisition. Unfortunately, many companies continue to be stuck in the old mentality of maintaining total control over the content around their marketing messaging. The truth, however, is that the world's most successful brands have surrendered control over user-generated content and are facilitating people talking to people about the brand. These organizations realize that trying to control the marketing message in the era of social no longer works, and leveraging the voice of customers is one of the most effective ways of converting prospects (and even skeptics) into customers.
To put user-generated marketing content to work for your organization, marketers must think strategically about customer experience management (CXM) and how customer communities fit into the larger CXM strategy. Customer communities—whether they develop on your brand social media pages or are hosted on your company's website—give customers a place to openly engage with each other and your employees around your products and services.
By bringing in conversations from the social web—from places like Facebook and Twitter—and pulling them into a branded community on your website, marketers can create valuable content that grows as more customers engage with those conversations. These social conversations, in turn, become more permanent and discoverable, improving the SEO of your brand's website.
These conversations don't need to be limited to brand pages on social media sites or customer communities that live on pages separate from your company's homepage or product listings. This type of genuine, word-of-mouth marketing content can also be embedded onto targeted webpages along the ecommerce shopping path, product listing pages— and even specific landing pages for banner ads or email campaigns.
One company that is doing a great job of leveraging word of mouth marketing is Kiddicare, the UK's largest baby online retailer. Kiddicare deployed a Get Satisfaction widget on their ecommerce site that allows customers to give praise, ask questions, offer feedback and ideas or report an issue.
Kiddicare then embedded praise and questions about each product from the community next to that product on their e-commerce site. This way when prospects who are considering purchasing the product can "Ask Questions" from other customers in the Get Satisfaction community or even get answers from manufacturer's representative who are also part of the community.
Customer advocates and product champions answer pre-sales questions for shoppers. When prospects want to engage in conversation with the community, they remain in the ecommerce shopping flow, while getting answers to pre-sales questions. Without this technology customers would leave the e-commerce site and go to a separate place like your Facebook brand page and likely abandon the shopping flow. By making customer endorsements available in real time to prospects—and operationalizing word-of-mouth marketing—you reap the many benefits of having a customer community.
Customer communities provide a strong repository for relevant social content that can help you drive more revenue from your social and content strategy. The voice of the customer can make your content much more relevant and dynamic. What are you doing to put the voice of the customer to work for your organization?

Paratuberculosis and Crohn's Disease: Got Milk?
Crohn's Disease
Described as a human scourge,[33] over a half million[120] Americans suffer from this devastating, lifelong condition[95] with annual US medical costs in the billions.[189] Crohn's sufferers experience profuse urgent diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and fevers.[78] Because of the diarrhea, many people are unable to leave their houses; others drive around in recreational vehicles or mobile homes to keep a bathroom close at hand.[98] The director of the National Association for Colitis and Crohn's Disease says the best way to describe to nonsufferers how bad the disease can get is to have them think of the worst stomach flu they ever had and then try to imagine living with that every day.[29]
What happens is that the immune system starts attacking the lining of the gut, which becomes swollen and inflamed.[24] In extreme cases this painful embarrassing condition can affect any part of the digestive system from the mouth to the anus.[27] This inflammation narrows the digestive tract and can result in excruciating pain during digestion as well as constant uncontrollable bowel movements. Added discomforts associated with Crohn's disease include severe joint pains, weight loss, and lack of energy.[92]
The intestines characteristically become so deeply ulcerated that they take on a "cobblestone" appearance. The ulcers can actually eat right through the gut wall and cause bleeding, abscesses, fistulas and perforation.[150] Passing food, sometimes even just drink, through Crohn's damaged intestines can be excruciatingly painful. In the words of one colorectal surgeon, "Crohn's is a surgical disease. We wait until the patient can no longer withstand the pain anymore, and then we perform surgery...and repeated surgeries over time...ultimately, as recurrences happen and intestinal damage occurs, we just cut and cut, in some cases, until there is no more intestine that can be cut out."[24]
Tragically, Crohn's disease typically strikes people in their teens and early twenties -- destroying their health.[53] Children, adolescents, and young adults suddenly become faced with the harsh reality of a lifetime of chronic pain, in and out of hospitals their entire lives.[27]
The disease is mostly found in the United States, United Kingdom, and Scandinavia.[152] And it's on the increase. The incidence in the United States, which has been increasing steadily since the 1940s -- doubling, then tripling, then quadrupling[89] -- is now approaching that of an epidemic.[67] The most rapid increase has been seen in children. In the 1940s and early 1950s there were no recorded cases of Crohn's in teenagers. Currently, one in every six new cases diagnosed are under age twenty.[89] Dr. Crohn, who described one of the first series of cases back in 1932,[149] wrote decades later "From this small beginning, we have witnessed the evolution of a Frankenstein monster...."[25]

"At Gaspari Nutrition, we cater to bodybuilders. People who take real supplements. People who know the difference. The same people who consume vast quantities of protein in order to maximize their training efforts. I've been there...and I'm still there! I thought it was time I tackled protein the same way I've tackled everything else so far...to simply make the best product possible. I developed IntraPro for two reasons to be unsurpassed in raw, muscle building nutrition and, to be honest, because I desperately needed a protein that I simply wasn't going to get sick of; something I would actually look forward to drinking everyday. A protein powder as satisfying as the best full blown meal replacements on the market. So far, our customers and colleagues unanimously agree that we've accomplished just that.. I invite you to give IntraPro a try. I think you're gonna like this one too.
I hope you like what we've done so far, and I hope you like where we're going. Let me know what else you need; I've got some great ones up my sleeve! Only the best for you guys. Thanks for all your support."
-Rich Gaspari
The IntraPro Competition Advantage: IntraPro gives bodybuilders what they want; the first incredible tasting, ultra-high quality, competition strength protein supplement engineered specifically for athletes with a desire to achieve and maintain that big, full and lean look year round.
• IntraPro draws its significant body composition altering capabilities from the complex anabolic/anti-catabolic power of IntraPro AAC7T, a unique combination of pure pharmaceutical grade cross flow micro and ultra-filtered whey protein isolates and high yield concentrates significantly infused with an optimal ratio of branched chain amino acids for inhibiting muscle breakdown, precise amounts of L-glutamine and taurine for maximum muscle cell volumization, and a precision dose of the potent micronutrients turkesterone (from Ajuga turkestanica extract) and 20-beta-hydroxyecdysone (from Rhaponticum carthimoides extract) shown in clinical trials to significantly increase strength and enhance protein synthesis.
• IntraPro contains a highly effective Protein Dispersion Complex designed to sustain the release of notoriously fast absorbing whey proteins to help maintain positive nitrogen levels up to twice as long as the typical 2-hour window elicited when ingesting whey proteins. Intelligent bodybuilders on normal 2 ½ to 3 hour intervals between meals can count on 'no downtime' when feeding precious muscle tissue.
• IntraPro also contains an important full spectrum vitamin/mineral complex for more complete nutrition for those looking to substitute IntraPro for a meal during low carb phases of training.
• When going to every extreme to create the most effective competitor's protein supplement in existence, you have to go to equal extremes when developing the flavor. In medical terms it is referred to as 'compliance factor', put simply, the better it tastes, the more you will use it. The flavor technology behind this superfood formula ensures that you will look forward to drinking IntraPro every time.

A Biography Of America
October 2000 | Volume 51, Issue 6
Brinkley: I felt we were like the Apollo astronauts picked for Mission PBS. The first time we got together was at a kind of retreat at Longfellow's historic Wayside Inn. We got to know each other, experience each !other's senses of humor, and learn about our ideological differences and similarities. Don was our foreman. He made the work collaborative, and quickly an extraordinary harmony developed among us. We've all become personal friends. That's one of the great outcomes of all of this.
How did your own experiences writing biography translate into Grafting a biography of the country?
Brinkley: I think it's intriguing to call this series A Biography of America. Don wrote a biography of Lewis Mumford, but really his City of the Century, about Chicago, was also a biography. It's an interesting way to approach history.
At its best, biography uses a main character to go off on tangents that allow the writer and the reader to explore the larger society in which that character's life was played out. For example, in my biography of Rosa Parks I examine the history of lynching and the Ku Klux Klan that terrified her as a young girl. In A Biography of America, we're exploring history in much the same way.
Miller: That's right. Our story centers on people, because focusing on compelling personalities allowed us to bring to life the major opposing forces of the American story: antebellum Southern culture versus Northern industrial culture; the counterculture of the 1960s versus the conservative backlash of the 1970s and 1980s; and so on.
But this series is biographical in a more fundamental way. Good biography is highly selective. It deals with the principal shaping forces of a subject's life. In a way, it's a concentrated metaphor for that life, not a birth-todeath chronicle. I wanted A Biography of America to be the same thing, with the country itself as the character.
But you both were equally drawn to history as storytelling.
Miller: It's built in the bones, this human proclivity for the story. It started in the caves. Historians are story-tellers, just like novelists. The questions we ask are the same: Who am I? Who are we? We're also both in the business of hunting explanations.
A little while ago, I came across a published piece by one of my former students in which he says that I tricked the class into learning by telling stories. They'd listen to the story, he said, and all of sudden it would occur to them that they were learning something important.
Brinkley: I think what's radical about this series is that all the historians involved in the project believe in storytelling. In the academic world, historians are trained to focus on analysis so heavily that in some scholarly circles the way to really put down a historian is to sniff, "Oh, God, he's a storyteller."
Yes, there's the concern about losing interpretation when you do narrative history.
Miller: Narrative history, storytelling, doesn't have to lose conceptual rigor or analytical depth—but that's damn hard to do. By the way, I think that's a distinctive thing about this series. The tales our historians tell carry you along, but they have a critical edge, a point of view. They get your mind moving.
Brinkley: Right. Storytelling may not be fashionable in the academy, but I still agree with something I remember reading as a boy in Perrysburg, Ohio, next to the town of Clyde, which was Sherwood Anderson's fictional Winesburg. In his autobiography, Storyteller's Life, Anderson wrote that to become a good storyteller is to practice the highest of all literary art forms.
It's one thing to write a story, but you historians were trying to write a collaborative story. When we put together this team, we were interested in historians who didn't agree on everything, but this could have been a disaster.
Miller: Yes, and I was a little surprised the whole project didn't blow up in our faces. But from our earliest discussions, I saw that our team, every one of us a prickly character, seemed to relish argument and confrontation. Sometimes things got hot.
For instance, my view of the early formation of the American character is vastly different from Pauline Maier's. She sees the colonists—even as they prepared for revolution—as essentially British in ideas and outlook. But I see a distinctly American character emerging as early as the 172Os. We fought and fought over this issue and never resolved it.
It's a credit, Christine, to you television people that you didn't try to homogenize things in the interest of creating a counterfeit consensus. You saw that all this contention would make the series better. Remember, this isn't The Biography of America . It's A Biography of America .
When your lecture texts were all in and we production people started to search for images to dramatize them, we found we were looking at images of de Soto's war dogs chewing the faces off Native Americans, of slaves on the whipping post, and Northern and Southern soldiers slaughtering each other. It's a pretty violent drama.

Key Features
The Encyclopedia of Environmental Health contains numerous examples of policy options and environmental health practices that have worked and thus can guide programs in other countries or regions. It includes a wide range of tools and strategies that can assist communities and countries in assessing environmental health conditions, monitoring progress of intervention implementation and evaluating outcomes.
- Provides a comprehensive overview of existing knowledge in this emerging field
- Articles contain summaries and assessments of environmental health practices and research, providing a framework for further research
- Places environmental health in the broader context of environmental change and related ecological, political, economic, social, and cultural issues
Environmental health has evolved over time into a complex, multidisciplinary field. Many of the key determinants and solutions to environmental health problems lie outside the direct realm of health and are strongly dependent on environmental changes, water and sanitation, industrial development, education, employment, trade, tourism, agriculture, urbanization, energy, housing and national security. Environmental risks, vulnerability and variability manifest themselves in different ways and at different time scales. While there are shared global and transnational problems, each community, country or region faces its own unique environmental health problems, the solution of which depends on circumstances surrounding the resources, customs, institutions, values and environmental vulnerability. This work contains critical reviews and assessments of environmental health practices and research that have worked in places and thus can guide programs and economic development in other countries or regions.
The Encyclopedia of Environmental Health seeks to conceptualize the subject more clearly, to describe the best available scientific methods that can be used in characterizing and managing environmental health risks, to extend the field of environmental health through new theoretical perspectives and heightened appreciation of social, economic and political contexts, and to encourage a richer analysis in the field through examples of diverse experiences in dealing with the health-environment interface.

Former Alabama pastor Wangle dies comment (0)
February 28, 2013
By Neisha Fuson
Henry Bruce Wangle served churches in Alabama, Louisiana, Georgia and Florida. He died Jan. 24 at the age of 75.
Wangle served 21 years in the Navy. He then attended the Baptist Bible Institute (now the Baptist College of Florida) in Graceville, Fla., and earned his master of divinity degree from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary before serving several churches in four states.
In Alabama, Wangle served as pastor of Pilgrim's Rest West Baptist Church, Newton; Packer Memorial Baptist Church, Eastlake (which has since disbanded); and Mud Creek Baptist Church, Adger, before retiring in September 2006. He and his wife, Carolyn, became members of Maytown Baptist Church in 2007 where he served as a Sunday School teacher for the senior adult men and later senior adult couples.
Maytown Baptist Pastor John Killian said Wangle was "a faithful man."
"He had a great zeal for the Lord and served faithfully as a pastor," Killian said.
Wangle is survived by his wife, four children, six grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

Thelonious Monk Quartet with John Coltrane: At Carnegie Hall
There is a sense that both Monk and Coltrane knew they were going to make history in 1957 at Carnegie Hall, and it's palpable from the opening notes of "Monk's Mood. Monk sounds grandly baroque in summoning grandly cascading arpeggios from his piano (which sounds infinitely better than the junk pianos he was often saddled with), while Coltrane sounds immensely assured.
To really savor Coltrane's performances, begin by listening to the studio session with Monk currently listed in the Fantasy catalog (Thelonious Monk With John Coltrane). Then listen to the Five Spot recording, and then this new discovery.
During the studio date, Coltrane sounds remarkably reserved, perhaps too star-struck still, as he was on his session with Duke Ellington, to do very much but hang on for the ride. The Five Spot recording has Coltrane sounding looser, particularly on "In Walked Bud, but the recording sounds like it was recorded at the wrong end of a mine shaft, and much of what Coltrane played has to be imagined. Coltrane at Carnegie Hall with Monk is a man certain of his own voice while not afraid of showing his roots, clear-thinking, wonderfully focused, in tune with Monk's logic, simpatico with the rhythm section. A case could be built that this is the finest Coltrane recording before the historic Atlantic and Impulse sessions.
High points among Coltrane's solos abound, but my favorites are on "Nutty, with some wild cross-conversations between Coltrane and Monk going on, and "Sweet and Lovely, which Coltrane gooses into a galloping romp, clearly revealing his roots in early Dexter Gordon. The only dull patch for me is his lackluster accompaniment to "Crepuscule With Nellie, which was never about Coltrane anymore than Nellie was. It was Monk's showcase, regardless of who accompanied him.
On to Monk. After the grand opening gestures, he continues with buoyant, hyper-kinetic interpretations of "Evidence, "Epistrophy" (two versions, the complete one perhaps the better of the two for Monk, the incomplete one more of a Coltrane showpiece), and "Blue Monk. Very familiar fare, but toyed with harmonically and rhythmically as only Monk could do on a good night, and this was. Drummer Shadow Wilson was no Art Blakey, whom I always thought of as Monk's most apt drummer, but he respectably kept the band churning, along with rock-steady bassist Ahmed Abdul-Malik.
The only flaw, and a minor one at that, is the heavy set of liner notes by five different hands. Only Lewis Porter really says something that deepens appreciation of this lovely recording. Amiri Baraka and Stanley Crouch pass beyond self-parody. I suggest that their future liner notes be published as e-books, though even that format might not accommodate their stadium-sized egos.
This is, though Woody Allen hated the phrase, "jazz heaven.

Eddie Lacy and Johnathan Franklin are already friends, roommates, teammates and competitors. Whether the two rookie running backs will be the saviors of the Green Bay Packers' long-dormant running game remains to be seen.
With the team taking Alabama's Lacy in the second round of last month's NFL Draft, then trading up to take UCLA's Franklin in the fourth round, both players understand their connection. And when they arrived in Green Bay for the team's post-draft rookie orientation camp on Thursday, they learned they'd be bunking in together at a hotel near the airport, where the rookies are being housed until training camp kicks off in July or they find more permanent living arrangements.
"We're roommates in the hotel, we talk. But we're going to have to compete," Lacy said. "It's just like when you're in college – you get there, you meet the other running backs, you're all friends but you have to compete. It's no different here."
Added Franklin: "On the field, we're competing definitely. But off the field we're definitely buddies. But we're here to help each other grow and push each other to get better."
And the Packers clearly need to get better in the run game. Whether that improvement comes from Lacy, Franklin or the host of holdovers – DuJuan Harris, Alex Green and James Starks all held the job of lead back at times last season – doesn't really matter. After watching his offense face a steady diet of Cover-2 defenses geared to slow down star quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the potent passing game, coach Mike McCarthy wants a more balanced attack.
"We've made some scheme adjustments. We have already started that process," McCarthy said. "Lacy, frankly will fit into some of these changes we've made. We'll see how it goes through the offseason and training camp. I'm excited about it."
The Packers haven't had a 100-yard rusher in the last 43 regular-season games, far and away the longest active streak in the NFL. (The San Diego Chargers are next, with a 19-game drought.) Over the past three seasons, the Packers' running backs have combined for just 12 rushing touchdowns and are averaging only 3.8 yards per carry – the fewest in the NFL for both categories. After one practice, McCarthy liked the first impressions he got from both young backs.
"Eddie Lacy, he definitely is very smooth. You can see the things particularly in the run game that he did at Alabama," McCarthy said. "He was obviously very well coached there and his comfort in the inside-, outside-zone footwork, I think that was my first impression watching him in the team run and in the running back ball-handling drills. I'm glad he's here."
As for Franklin, McCarthy said he saw "just really what you saw on film. It's very natural to him. … I think he's an excellent fit for us."
Not since Ryan Grant put together back-to-back 1,200-yard seasons in 2008 and 2009 have the Packers gotten consistent production from a single ballcarrier. The 5-foot-11, 230-pound Lacy, who carried 204 times for 1,322 yards with 17 touchdowns in 14 games last season, could fill that void.
"I mean, we're all going to see when the season comes around. I still have to go through practice and the playbook and a whole lot of stuff before I even think about that," Lacy replied when asked if he could be that back. "If I go out and do what I have to do, everything will fall where it's supposed to and I'll just move on from that."
Lacy dismissed concerns about his durability, which he acknowledged caused his draft stock to drop. Viewed by many as the top running back in the draft, he fell to the Packers at No. 61, after North Carolina's Giovani Bernard went 37th to Cincinnati, Michigan State's Le'Veon Bell went 48th to Pittsburgh and Wisconsin's Montee Ball went 58th to Denver. The Steelers reportedly passed on Lacy because of toe fusion surgery he had in the spring of 2012, while Broncos president John Elway said after the draft that health concerns were the deciding factor for his team between Lacy and Ball.
"I just feel like everything happens for a reason and even though I didn't get picked where I was supposed to, I fell to Green Bay and even though it was the second round, I feel like it's the perfect place to be," Lacy said. "I'm not knocking (those teams) for feeling like that, but I feel like I'm in a great situation and I'm just going to move on from there."
The 5-10, 205-pound Franklin, meanwhile, isn't conceding anything. He set the UCLA single-season rushing record last year with 1,732 yards, and while he isn't as big as Lacy, he believes he's capable of being an every-down back, too.
"Eddie, he's my roommate. We were laughing all night (Thursday) night. He's a great guy. I met him at the (NFL scouting) combine," Franklin said. "He's a great player. I'm excited to be on the same team with him. I expect to learn from him and I expect to teach him a little bit.
"They brought us here for a reason. We have to contribute. Competition is going to bring out the best in you. We're definitely going to find out what kind of men we are and what kind of athletes we are. So I'm excited to compete with Eddie and learn from Eddie and get better with him as well."

Irving Arthur Mason, 92, a longtime manager at the Philadelphia branch of the Snap-on Tools Corporation, died Feb. 3 at Lankenau Hospital.
A 1932 graduate of Olney High School, where he was a member of the track team, Mason was a star salesman for Snap-on Tools, which he joined at age 20. He started selling tools from the back of a 1929 Essex sedan, which he purchased for $50, and did well enough to win a trip to the Factory Convention in 1935, an exceptional honor for a new guy in the organization.
He became a Philadelphia branch sales leader for 10 years after that.
Mason continued to succeed at Snap-on, when he became assistant manager of the Philadelphia branch on Fairmount Avenue in 1945, and later became branch manager. Through his leadership, the Philadelphia branch became No. 1 in sales in the nation.
During that time, he also served as a mentor to many colleagues, who went on to manage their own branches, and who climbed to higher levels of responsibility in the company.
Mason retired from Snap-on in 1976, after 42 years with the company, mainly due to poor health.
He was a member of Radnor Valley Country Club.
Mason is survived by his wife of 68 years, the former Bessie Sabaroff; son Steven Mason; and sister Charlotte Glick. He was predeceased by a brother, Mort Mason, in 1964.
Memorial donations can be made to: Hadassah of Greater Philadelphia, 1518 Walnut St., Philadelphia, PA 19102.
