How bacterial warfare may lead to safer salami
A COMPUTER model of the battles between bacterial colonies could lead to salamis that are safer to eat and have longer shelf lives. The model could also help food scientists devise new ways to tackle the growth of dangerous bacteria in food.
The bacterium Listeria monocytogenes is a leading source of food-borne disease in meats and other products. To understand how it grows in food, scientists often turn to computer models which describe how bacteria reproduce given a source of food and variables such as temperature, pH and humidity.
Unfortunately, these models ignore the competition that L. monocytogenes faces from other bacterial species, says food safety specialist Alessandro Giuffrida at the University of Messina in Italy. He and colleagues have now developed a new model for bacterial growth that includes both competition and environmental influences.
The Italian team has focused on the way bacteria grows in traditional Sicilian salami during

Enhanced Packet Scheduling Algorithm for Multihop Wireless LANs
The use of wireless devices are flooding the network, thus giving rise to extensive data transmission. One of the main concerns is how to dictate the buffering of data so that throughput fairness can be achieved, specifically in the multi-hop wireless networks. The technique of buffering has to be based on the scheduling algorithms. Several studies on scheduling algorithms as a part of congestion control have been carried out, such as by Shagdar, Nakagawa and Zhang, Izumikawa, Ishikawa, and Sugiyama, and Giang and Nakagawa. The Round Robin (RR) scheme is considerably simpler than other known schemes for achieving throughput fairness in multi-hop wireless networks.

Joking with reporters is always a risky venture. At Fox's Tuesdays press junket, the network's entertainment chairman Kevin Reilly was huddled with a gaggle of writers after his executive session and candidly referenced "stumbling out of the gate" with the ill-fated fall drama The Mob Doctor. He then quipped, "which, by the way, was the worst title in the history of the world."
Sure enough, that quote popped up in online reports yesterday. And make no mistake — The Mob Doctor was a stinker title (though after the upfronts last year, we actually thought CBS' upcoming drama Golden Boy was a tad worse — it sounds like a watersports fetish video instead of a cop drama). And neither of those are as as bad as what Fox originally titled The Mindy Project (that would be It's Messy — perfect for a show about an OB-GYN!).
But I'll defend The Mob Doctor (a little bit), because at least you knew what the show was about. Exactly and precisely what the show was about, but it was clear. Unlike, say, CBS' short-lived Three Rivers or ABC's GCB. The problem with the title The Mob Doctor was it made a deadly sober drama tough to take seriously.
Here's a few others that were worse: ABC's Emily's Reasons Why Not, CBS' Love Monkey, ABC's Dot Comedy (seriously, this happened, one episode aired) and FX's Testees.
Then there's my all-time favorite: UPN's 1999 one-season treasure Shasta McNasty. But that title flies so far into the airless regions of awfulness that it loops around to the other side to become sort of wonderful in its own way.
And though we're picking on shows that were losers here, let's face it: If ABC's Cougar Town had flopped out of the gate like The Mob Doctor, you know that would be on worst title lists too. Which just goes to show that a little success can make any title sound a whole lot better.

There are a lot of elegant, strange and quirky doghouses out there. From straightforward shade providers to structures so tricked out they'd blend in on the Vegas Strip. Maybe because the scale is manageable and the perspective tenants are usually agreeable—especially on aesthetic issues—doghouses draw out the inner architect in us.
For too long your design-and-build efforts have gone unsung. But now the DIY Network wants to reward these backyard domiciles with more than a lonely howl. Enter your hand-crafted creation in the Best DIY Doggone Doghouse in Americz contest, and you could win the grand prize of a $500 Orvis gift card or a weekly prize of a DNA breed identification kit. So far there are canine cabins, palaces, pueblos and palapas entered in the contest—which runs through July 23. We're hoping to feature photos of the winner in the September home-themed issue of Bark.

Baby born on flight dies in Jamaican hospital
A baby who was born on a flight en route to Miami died at a hospital in
Jamaica, a consulate official said.
The boy had weighed 3lbs, said Paola Byles, an honorary consul to the Peruvian
Embassy in Jamaica who helped the Spanish-speaking mother once she arrived.
Ms Byles said she did not know the cause of death. It was unclear if the
mother, a 19-year-old woman from Ecuador, delivered prematurely.
The mother, who has been released from hospital, apparently did not know she
was pregnant and began complaining of stomach cramps when the flight left
Guayaquil, Ecuador, said airline spokeswoman Minnette Velez.
Cabin crew on the American Airlines flight moved her to first class once they
realised she was having a baby, Ms Velez said.
A doctor who was a passenger on the plane delivered the baby with help from a
first-aid kit and plenty of water and towels, Ms Velez said.
The plane was then rerouted to Montego Bay, Jamaica, where it dropped off
mother and child before continuing to Florida, she said.
The baby was taken to the Cornwall Regional Medical Hospital in Jamaica, but
officials there refused to comment.

Lectures from the Allen Room and the Wertheim Study: Constructing a House and a History in Newportãs Gilded Age : Catharine Lorillard Wolfeãs ãVinlandã
September 20, 2013
Program Locations:
General Research Division
In the early 1880s, tobacco heiress and New York art collector, Catharine Lorillard Wolfe (1828-1887), the first female benefactor of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, hired the Boston architects Peabody & Stearns to create a Newport summer ãcottage.ã She had a distinct vision in mind. The finished stone faûÏade that she and her architects conceived resembled no other residence in Newport. It would be named Vinland to commemorate local legends of Viking explorations in this region, a subject which fascinated the patron. For Vinlandãs interior, she hired the British firm of Morris & Co., and other artists, to create cutting-edge art and dûˋcor, much of which would reinforce Viking motifs on the exterior. The final productô became a unique example of a total narrative aesthetic conceived for an American domestic space. Rather than being merely an escapist haven for Wolfe, Vinland was the deliberate projection of a site-specific identity she crafted for herself in the resort town.
Much of Vinlandãs original art and dûˋcor has subsequently been removed, and Vinland is now part of an academic institution. Yet studies, fragments, and individual works of art are housed in repositories and museums on both sides of the Atlantic. This talk contextualizes the circumstances of this commission, and focuses on the interplay between patron and the artists. It provides in-depth analysis of three works Wolfe commissioned or purchased for designated spaces at Vinland: a major stained-glass ensemble by Morris and Edward Burne-Jones; a monumental frieze by Walter Crane; and a Winslow Homer marine painting. A consideration of the dynamics underlying their creation and display provides crucial insight into the aesthetic program of Vinlandãs interior. It also reveals how Vinland's art andô dûˋcor enhanced Wolfe's status in Newport, and thus adds to our understanding of interconnections between artistic patronage, display, and identity formation, at this moment in Newport's Gilded Age.
Margaret R. Laster, Ph.D., a writer in residence at the Libraryãs Wertheim Study, is an art historian specializing in nineteenth-century art, architecture, and material culture. She has held research positions in museums and cultural institutions in New York, Chicago, Boston, and Washington D.C.ô The recipient of a doctorate from the CUNY Graduate Center, and an MA from the University of Chicago, she has been awarded fellowships and grants from the CUNY Graduate Center; the Center for the History of Collecting at the Frick Art Reference Library; the Huntington Library and Art Collections; the William Morris Society; and the Smithsonian Institution.

Charlotte Will Host Democratic Convention 2012

The move is seen as an attempt to gather support in the South. Although Obama won North Carolina and Virginia in nailbiters in 2008, Democratic fortunes across the region suffered in the midterm elections.

Interesting. But not quite what I was after.
I've been on the hunt for a delicious fruity green tea lately and haven't had much luck. I want something with a berry tone, and I'd rather it not be sencha. Sadly, most fruity blends are sencha, because it pairs best with fruit tones! Maybe I'll settle for a fruity tky, if I can find one?
Anyhow, this one is ok but a bit artificial tasting. There is definitely strawberry, and creaminess. Not to mention tons of sugary goodness.
I can definitely taste yogurt, which brings out a campino candy note that would settle any cravings if I had them :p
Overall… I wouldn't mind having it around, but certainly not over another green blend so would have to drink down my entire stash and try most other versions first haha(nothing specific mind you).
Thanks to Sil for sharing her stash!

The 2006 PWA Costa Teguise Super-X World Cup Event Summary
Super-X, the PWA's exclusive race format, throws high speed downwind slalom racing together with inflatable jump obstacles. Added mandatory freestyle tricks, ensure the lead changes constantly, and guarantees gnarly crashes for spectators.
Two times world champion Matt Pritchard (US-10 Tabou / Gaastra), his brother and current tour leader, Kevin Pritchard (US-3 Starboard / Maui Sails), vice-champion Cyril Moussilmani (F-71, Fanatic/ North Sails) and current world number two Antoine Albeau (F-192 Starboard / Neil Pryde Sails), were part of a strong fleet of competitors. Any number of dark horses could still step in and with a €45,000 purse on offer, there'd be no prisoners taken as the action kicked off on June 27th.
With silverware up for grabs, women's world champion Karin Jaggi (Z-14, F2 / North Sails), 2005 runner-up Junko Nagoshi (J-11 F2 / Simmer Sails), and the outrageously talented, wave-destroying twin sisters Daida Moreno (E-64, Mistral/ North Sails) and Iballa Moreno (E-63, Mistral/ North Sails) also came to tough it out in the physically demanding and hectic world that is Super-X racing.
In previous seasons, conditions at Costa Teguise have ranged from big surf and nuclear winds, to traditional Canarian breezes and flatter seas. But in PWA Super-X, thrills and spills are standard regardless of conditions. With grandstand seats available, the Las Cucharas point gives tourist sailors plenty of space to sail alongside the dedicated PWA arena. A trip to watch the spectacle is a must, especially if combined with a windsurfing holiday like many of those who showed up to watch did!
Day One
A positive forecast for the weeks conditions, got the event centre buzzing, as the men's and women's fleets prepared their equipment for action.
Race One
Race one was scheduled to get underway at 12.30. Course conditions were reasonable with most sailors on sail sizes around 7.0sqm. First up were the ladies as a 5 leg course was set with long reaches, and 3 inflatable jumps.
Karin Jaggi lead from the start and passed mark one in the lead. However Daida and Iballa caught up as the fleet bunched together during their forward loops. Daida's acceleration from there onwards allowed her to take Karin by mark 3 and finish first, with Jaggi in second and Junko Nagoshi third.
There were no surprises in men's heat one, and Nik Baker (K-66, Mistral/ North Sails) looked in fine form, beating Kevin Pritchard in heat two.
In race one's final, tour leader Kevin Pritchard, steamed through the pack from the start line all the way to the first duck gybe, pursued by Robby Swift (K-89, JP/ Neil Pryde). But Baker in fourth, overtook Swift, and caught up with Kevin after the first forward loop and throughout leg 3, whilst Albeau moved up into 3rd. The leading three sailors first spocks were all good, but Baker got great exit speed from his to take the lead, before falling on the second spock, letting Kevin through in first. Nik finished second with Albeau in third place. Defending world champ, Matt Pritchard fell on a sausage jump and limped home in seventh.
Race Two
A second race was scheduled for 14.40. Matt Pearch (K-16, F2 / North Sails) had a dream start to heat one, leading off the line with team mate Baker breathing down his neck. But it was experienced player Matt Pritchard who kept his head, and crept up on Pearch and Baker by mark two to win and qualify for the final.
Peter Volwater (H-24 F2 / North Sails) had a nightmare start to heat two being over early and disqualified. Nicholas Reynes (F-456 Tabou / Gaastra) lead with Kevin Pritchard chasing whilst Cyril Moussilmani steered his way into the lead by mark two and through the course to qualify in first.
The ladies final started perfectly for Junko Nagoshi who sped into mark one in the lead as a pile-up on the first jump slowed most of the fleet. Daida Moreno was in second and pressurised Junko successfully into crashing her forward loop. Daida won and Junko recovered well to finish second with Astrid Muldoon (F-002 JP / Neil Pryde) in third.
The men's final involved drama when event and series leader, Kevin Pritchard was disqualified for being over early, widening the gap for those waiting in the wings. A battle of the French ensued as Antoine Albeau got a flying start with countryman Moussilmani snapping at his heels. Moussilmani made an excellent duck gybe, to stylishly pass Albeau inside. However in the spirit of Super-X, the lead changed again as Moussilmani dropped his first spock. Albeau and Moussilmani then both dropped their second spocks, but Moussilmani was up on his feet faster and up to speed to take first place. Consistent Nik Baker followed through in 2nd place with Robby Swift in 3rd, and Albeau recovering for 4th.
Day Two
After an excellent opening day of competition, Nik Baker sat in pole position overnight, with Cyril Moussilmani in second. Skippers meeting was set for 11.00am, where Race director Juan Antonio Aragon set a similar 5 leg course to day one, putting out 3 inflatable jumps, but with different compulsory maneuvers.
Race 3
The start of race 3 was scheduled for 13.00 as the lunchtime trade wind filled in, but the wind backed off slightly, and racing was delayed. Eventually Race 3 started without any surprises in the first heat, although Matt Pritchard and Robby Swift were lucky to qualify for the final. Cyril Moussilmani showed his intent as he confidently took heat two ahead of a business like Antoine Albeau.
The final had an incredibly close start as three sailors crossed right on the gun, with Albeau at the upwind end of the line, Matt Pritchard in the middle and Kevin Pritchard taking the downwind end and the shortest route to the first mark. Albeau gained the lead and rounded mark one in first pursued by Moussilmani and Pritchard, who then sneakily took Moussilmani on the inside at the mark one duck gybe. Pritchard then sped too far downwind on the second leg and had to pinch upwind to make mark two, as Moussilmani and Albeau overtook.
By mark three Nik Baker had worked his way up to third place, and on leg 4 leader Albeau crashed his spock making way for Moussilmani, who completed a sketchy second spock with Baker fast approaching and Swift hot on his heels.
Moussilmani raced over the line for a well deserved first, with Baker in second, and Swift in third. At this time Baker kept the lead for the event so far, ahead of Moussilmani by only 0.4 points.
Astrid Muldoon started race 3 in first as Karin Jaggi pursued her to the first duck gybe. During the second reach Jaggi scraped past Muldoon to take the lead by the third mark, whilst the Moreno twins struggled in the temporarily lighter winds. Jaggi's lead grew on the fourth reach and Junko Nagoshi overtook Muldoon after a quicker forward loop, as Daida caught up. Karin won by a good distance with Junko in second and Daida Moreno in third.
Race 4
The 4th race was penciled in to start at 15.00. In Heat one Albeau and Volwater's speed was not enough to beat the consistent planing spocks of Taty Frans (NB-9, Starboard/ MauiSails) who took first. All the form players in heat two progressed as well with slalom 42 expert Ross Williams (GBR-83, Tabou/ Gaastra) showing dangerous speed, and precision starting skill.
Albeau and Kevin Pritchard hit the start line simultaneously in the final and Albeau led down the first reach as Matt Pritchard overtook brother Kevin to hit the first mark in second place. Matt followed until he crashed his first spock, letting Kevin past after he completed his spock planing. On the last reach Matt overtook Kevin and won the race after Albeau dropped his second spock. The Frenchman made a lightning waterstart recovery to claim second just ahead of Kevin Pritchard who flew over the line in third position.
Karin Jaggi started the women's race way ahead of the rest of the fleet. However Daida Moreno classily took Jaggi at the first mark after motoring down the first reach to play catch-up. Superior speed saw her stretch that lead considerably over Jaggi to win ahead of the Swiss girl, as a good race for third place was fought between Muldoon and Nagoshi.
The fourth race discard meant no change at the top as Baker clung on to the event leader's position, with Moussilmani only still 0.4 points behind.
Race 5
Race 5 started around 16.00 and after 4 races Moussilmani blew his second overall place by failing to qualify for the final. All the other usual suspects progressed with the main players chomping at the bit for the day's final bout.
Another synchronized start by Kevin Pritchard and Antoine Albeau kicked off the final and Albeau pushed into the lead approaching mark one, as Matt Pritchard thundered up behind them in third. That was how it stayed until they passed the third mark before the first spock. Kevin Pritchard crashed his, allowing Matt to move up into second place, whilst Albeau's super clean maneuver extended his lead. Albeau's second spock was another beauty, but this time both Matt and third placed Kevin crashed theirs! Baker failed to make ground on the floundering Pritchard's, and his second spock fall cost him the overall event lead, as Taty Frans rolled into second behind Albeau, whilst Matt Pritchard recovered to claim third.
An action packed Race 5 women's final started as Karin Jaggi got a great start and led all the way to the first mark, whilst Iballa Moreno, in second, caused a huge pile-up at the first jump! Daida Moreno managed to pick her way through the carnage, and made good ground during the first forward loop leg and took the lead. At the second jump it was Jaggi's turn to cause another massive crash, whilst Daida extended her now unassailable lead and crossed the finish line un-challenged. Iballa sailed well to claim second with Jaggi clocking third.
Day Three
Overnight it was Antoine Albeau and Daida Moreno who'd occupied the top slots. Similar conditions to day two were expected, and Juan Antonio Aragon held the Skippers meeting at 11.30. Competitors were placed on half-hourly standby until the wind increased slightly around 15.30, whilst the race crew went out to tweak the course, and many riders went on the water to practice. Due to slightly lighter winds, spocks instead of forward loops were nominated as the compulsory moves with 3 inflatable jumps spread over 5 reaches.
Race 6
Heats one and two of race 6 were started but heat 2 was cancelled due to easing winds. The committee boat raised the Z flag, and sent the fleet back to the beach to standby for more suitable conditions. Later the wind improved and heat 2 was completed, where leader Albeau was lucky to qualify after scraping through in 5th place.
The final's start was re-called as Taty Frans; the culprit for being over early, was sent back to the beach. The second attempt saw the whole fleet cross simultaneously, but Albeau accelerated into the lead by mark one, where Robby Swift snaked inside Kevin Pritchard for second position. Further behind the leaders, a poor start by Matt Pritchard was rectified as he sped down the first reach, before taking three places during the first duck gybe.
Albeau, Swift and Kevin Pritchard's first spocks were all clean, but Kevin's speed allowed him to gain the lead as they approached the second mark. Swift pursued, but crashed his second spock letting Albeau and Peter Volwater overtake, until Albeau crashed his second spock. Volwater and Swift sped past Albeau, before Volwater crashed into the final jump, tangling Swift up in the process. As Kevin crossed the finish to win, an amazing recovery by his brother Matt was being completed. Top speed and planing spocks helped him pick his way through the fleet, and past the recovering Swift and Volwater to complete an impressive comeback and take second place. Swift shrugged off Volwater to claim third place, just ahead of Albeau and a chasing Nik Baker.
Karin Jaggi flew straight into the lead off the start line in the ladies final, and sped to the first jump where she crashed spectacularly allowing Iballa Moreno to take the lead before she fell on the second jump! Daida Moreno took over with Junko Nagoshi in second and Jaggi now in third. On the third reach Jaggi gained speed and completed a superb forward loop taking Nagoshi. More drama followed when Daida Moreno, in sight of the finish line, wiped-out on jump three allowing Jaggi her win. Daida got second place and Astrid Muldoon followed up well to score third place.
Kevin Pritcard took his turn to spend the night as winner. Daida Moreno remained un-challenged in the ladies fleet.
Day Four
At the morning skippers meeting, Juan Antonio Aragon presented his course details. Still 5 downwind reaches, but slightly shorter than day three's, 3 inflatable jumps, and two spocks, and one forward loop as the compulsory moves. Race 7
By 12.45 there was enough wind to give racing a try. First up were the men. Heats one and two of Race 7 were cancelled as gusty winds made it impossible to complete the course fairly. The next possible start was set at 13.15 and super light wind and soaring temperatures meant the competitors waited on half hour standby until around 16.00 when the trades kicked in and competition eventually started.
Heat one was re-called after an over-eager Ross Williams was cited for being over the line early and disqualified. Matt Pritchard won easily with good performances by Kevin Mevissen (H-79, JP/ NeilPryde) in second, and Robby Swift in third. All the usual suspects advanced from heat two.
Ross Williams made up for his earlier mistake with a textbook start to the losers final. John Skye (K-57, F2 / North Sails) hustled well to gain the lead, but fell at the second duck gybe where a pile-up slowed the fleet. Skye recovered well to win and steady trickery from Nicholas Akgazciyan (F400 Neil Pryde Sails) won him second place ahead of Phil Horrocks (K-303, JP/ NeilPryde).
The ladies start involved Iballa Moreno leading before Karin Jaggi picked her off by mark one. Behind there was carnage as the rest of the women were tangled up on jump one. Another smooth forward from Jaggi got her underway and ahead of the pack and into what looked like a certain victory. The cut and thrust world of Super-X racing can be ultra harsh, as Jaggi found out, crashing badly on the third and last jump. Iballa overtook and won the race with Daida Moreno capitalizing to get second and Astrid Muldoon third.
The gun for Men's Race 7 final fired as Frenchmen Cyril Moussilmani (F-71, Fanatic/ North Sails) and Antoine Albeau crossed perfectly. Albeau led to mark one with Moussilmani chasing approaching mark two. Meanwhile, Matt Pritchard was repeating his form of yesterday by starting last, before taking six places at the first duck gybe! At the same mark, Kevin Pritchard shunted Nik Baker putting them both out of the game.
Albeau held his own until mark three, pursued by Moussilmani and Peter Volwater in third. The top three's forward loops were all cleanly executed, but steady sailing from Taty Frans saw him past Moussilmani and Volwater to round mark four in second place. Meanwhile Albeau had made certain of his victory, winning by a massive margin. Caribbean freestyle master Frans, celebrated his second place by busting out a one handed spock on the final reach, and Volwater rolled home in third.
Albeau's victory let him re-gain his event lead over tour leader Kevin Pritchard. Daida Moreno held her lead overnight despite sister Iballa Moreno winning race 7, and huge pressure from 2005 Champion Karin Jaggi.
Day Five
As the clock ticked, it became increasingly unlikely Matt Pritchard would claim a third consecutive world title. Third placed Matt needed nothing short of disaster striking for both event leader Antoine Albeau, and brother Kevin. With a maximum of four races to complete before the end of play on Saturday. the chances were there'd be two new world champions crowned by nightfall.
Skippers meeting was held at 09.30 and sailors placed on quarterly hour standby as moderate trades were forecast to show early, and then to lighten. Around 13.00 the wind became suitable and Race Director Aragon sent the competitors out to start Race 8.
Race 8
Everyone who was expected to progress from heat one did and the spotlight turned to heat two from where Albeau and Kevin Pritchard desperately needed to advance. Almost flawless sailing by both Albeau, and Pritchard saw them finish first and second respectively, with Cyril Moussilmani in third. Kevin Mevissen was unlucky not to qualify by blowing his forward loop.
The final predictably involved Kevin Pritchard and Albeau gaining flying starts, but Peter Volwater clawed into second place by the first duck gybe, whilst Nik Baker crashed on jump one. It was Albeau, Volwater and Matt Pritchard all in front of Kevin on the second reach, but Kevin dropped his spock, and Matt caught Volwater and rounded mark two in second. Matt Pritchard and Albeau both fell on their second spocks, but Matt got back on his feet first, whilst Albeau covered well and re-gained the lead to take the win. Matt took second ahead of Kevin in third.
There was a general recall on starting the women's eighth race. At the second attempt Daida Moreno, with an event lead to protect, ensured she made a no risk clean air start well away from the pack. Junko Nagoshi led to mark one as Karin Jaggi crashed the first jump. Daida then took Nagoshi during the first duck gybe and extended her lead on the second reach. Jaggi had progressed no further than fourth by reaching the third mark, and so it finished Daida Moreno first, Nagoshi second and Astrid Muldoon third.
With Albeau and Moreno still leading the event, Race 9 was called to start straight away.
Race 9
Heat one must have been nerve-wracking for Kevin Pritchard, as he scraped through to qualify for the final by the skin of his teeth in fifth position. Heat two was then cancelled due to large patches of light winds before the women's Race 9 was held.
Astrid Muldoon sped off the start line first pursued by Karin Jaggi, but Iballa Moreno crashed on Jump one with Daida Moreno trailing. Muldoon didn't make her forward loop allowing Jaggi the lead towards the second mark. Jaggi kept in front around the third duck gybe ahead of Muldoon, and a fast approaching Daida Moreno. Jaggi, stayed cool, jumping the final obstacle cleanly and won followed by Muldoon for a well deserved second and Daida Moreno settling for third position.
Heat 2 was unable to be re-sailed at this point and the Z flag was raised sending the sailors to the beach for lunch and to remain on standby. At 16.45 the wind reached a suitable level to start again. First up was the re-sail of heat two cancelled earlier, which Albeau, looking menacing, won easily.
Albeau's luck was consolidated when Kevin Pritchard was disqualified for being over the line early, guaranteeing Albeau his world title. The re-sail was exciting regardless when a lightning fast Matt Pritchard raced to beat Albeau over the first jump, as Nik Baker and Peter Volwater snatched second and third place around the first duck gybe. Albeau's slow spock cost him more distance whilst Pritchard extended his impressive lead and won. Volwater looked certain of second until he fell on the final jump letting Taty Frans (NB-9, Starboard / MauiSails) come through for second whilst Volwater recovered for third. Albeau came in sixth but it didn't affect his event ranking and 2006 title victory.
Daida Moreno and Antoine Albeau take the Super-X World Titles for the first times in their career histories after a week of exceptional racing in Costa Teguise. Super-X 's tough courses and demanding maneuvers make for a rollercoaster ride of lead changes between fierce rivals. This event demonstrated that, and was the perfect example of all-round windsurfing skill put to the ultimate test. The PWA World Tour now heads to Gran Canaria for more explosive action in wavesailing, Slalom 42 and Freestyle. The action starts on July 7th so be sure to tune in here for daily live updates.

I believe the headline spread across the top of today's (March 26) paper is irresponsible. Ask yourself, which of these headlines is more reflective of the story: ''Iraqis attack, pay for it'' (your headline) or ''Iraqis counterattack, 150-500 killed''? The use of the phrase ''pay for it'' is particularly inappropriate. We are talking about the loss of human life.

When is the best time to fly to Manhattan?
The seasons in Kansas tend to be well defined, with cold winters and very warm summers. Outdoor activities may be at their best between June and September when the summer heat blazes down. Alternatively, for a cheaper holiday, traveller could consider visiting in October when there may actually be less rain, mild temperatures and fewer crowds as well.
Manhattan overview
Not to be confused with the bright lights of New York's major island, Manhattan, Kansas, is a lively college town set in rolling countryside which offers great outdoor activities in a relaxed setting.
The city lies in the middle of the famous Kansas prairies, and there are many ranches nearby which offer visitors the chance to enjoy aspects of the rural lifestyle. Take to specially marked trails on horseback, try cowboy skills, attend exciting rodeos and taste some wholesome Kansas country cooking.
Manhattan is also close to some beautiful hiking and trekking territory. Head to sites like Konza Prairie to walk gentle and demanding routes or take the short drive to Frank Anneberg Park, which has a specially stocked lake that is ideal for sport fishermen and also offers a great opportunity to try American sports like softball and football.
The town also has a superb zoo - the Sunset Zoo - which is home to 250 species from big mammals like tigers to fearsome invertebrates like scorpions. It's a great way for kids and adults alike to learn about the world's animal inhabitants.
Just a short drive down Interstate 70, tourists can find the charming city of Topeka, home to the Kansas Museum of Natural History and a fascinating museum dedicated to the landmark Supreme Court decision which ruled racial segregation in public schools illegal.
Meanwhile, to the north of Manhattan, the enormous expanse of Tuttle Creek Lake offers boating, fishing, bird-watching and water sports activities, as well as some gorgeous camping grounds - all within a few minutes of hotels in the centre of the town.
And the city is also a great place to enjoy America's legendary cuisine. There are plenty of barbecue restaurants, steak houses and pizza joints just waiting to be discovered.

Ronald's Blog
Here In DC
We arrived this morning to the beautiful Gaylord Hotel in National Harbour. It is a great location 20 mins from DC with it's own little city surrounding the Hotel. Lots of shopping and restaurants and the sunny day and warm weather brought many people out to walk the shores of the Potomac. It will be a busy week, starting with meetings tomorrow and carrying on right to the big night on Saturday when I stand before you as President of the AACD. Time has gone by so quickly, it seems like only yesterday I was elected vice president...where did 2 years fly by? I hope this year is fun, exciting and productive. I certainly have big shoes to fill, both figuratively and literally. John Sullivan has done a great job this year and we will be spending Tuesday at his last official Board meeting, and again on Tuesday at the Leadership dinner reminding him of how much he is appreciated, respected and admired by us all. Ron
2 weeks to go
I came to the sudden realizaion on Saturday that two things have happened, without me realizing it.
Firstly, sitting at the computer and on the phone working on Academy stuff the last 2 years has taken its toll. As I climbed from the top of the waterfall down the escarpment into the Gorge to photograph Webster's falls I reallized how out of shape I was.
The second realization was...I'm not getting any younger! Normally I would be immersed in nature intent on capturing images, and yet this time I found myself spending an inordinate amount of time trying to figure out how I was going to climb back up!
I am feeling better today, the muscles have stopped screaming and now just give me a mild whimper on every step. My heart stopped racing by Sunday afternoon and the bruising on my shoulder from carrying the tripod and lens case up the wall of the escarpment (there were rock stairs) well, it will probably just be there forever!
I am so excited with 2 weeks to go. I have come to the realization that setting the agenda for the Board meeting is a lot more difficult than it appears, as it really sets the tone for not only what we accomplish as far as decisions on housekeeping items. but truly determines the direction tha academy will take for many months to come. These decisions have been not taken lightly and in fact one tends to spend the entire Presdient Elect year thinking about it.
It is hard to believe it is almost here. The ducks are in a row, just need some fine tuning. I have a few speeches to give and I would like to try to memorize them and not need to speak from notes, but sadly, with a lecture coming up on the 26th of the month, travelling for my daughter's engagment party to Calgary this weekend and all the other things I have to accomplish, that may not be possible.
I was just reminded, that my other full time job awaits and the patient is in the chair...John Sullivan was a master this past year of keeping his practice time a priority. I keep trying to apply the lesson....but alas...I'm just having too much fun with the AACD and I am thinking how nice it would be to take a year off of practice and be a full time AACD President.....I also regularly dream of winning the lottery! More next week!
3 weeks to go
Busy busy busy!
Lots of phone calls, meetings and planning.
I have begun to set up the Presidential Ad Hoc committees for the coming year and I'm diligently working on the population of those committees as well as the directives.
Also working on all the organizational apects of board orientation, the agenda for the first two board meetings and starting to arrange for some guest speakers to come in and talk to the Board, and of course I still have to write my speech for the Gala....Ricki told me to keep it short so we can all have more dancing and eating time and less sitting around and being bored time....figured I would show some of my photography and that may ease the pain a little! Ha Ha! I have some fun ideas that are coming together for La Grand Entrance! Don't miss it!
This weekend I will take Saturday to photograph some beautiful waterfalls around the Hamilton Ontario area, Sunday will be devoted to AACD stuff...don't worry folks, I'm not slacking off! (anyone who knows me understands how funny that is! I have already recieved complaints that the AACD staff are having a hard time keeping up with me!)
Very proud to let all of you know that the beautiful women I will be sitting with at my table at the Gala will be My wife Ricki, our friend Susan, and almost all my children....Jax and Lindz are flying in from California, Amanda from Toronto, sadly Ryan will be in the middle of exams in London England and will not be able to join us.
Can't wait to see you all.
So far so good with the blog!....two weeks in a row! A model of consistency! LOL
Transitioning into the Presidency
It has been a very busy time as I prepare to step into some very big shoes. John Sullivan has done a wonderful job this year. He has provided a tremendous calm influence and has been a huge success as President of this Academy. I only hope I can do as well. Thanks John and congratulations on a fantastic year!
I must also commend our staff who continue to do a fantastic job running this academy from the direction that is set by the Board. Ed Simeone and his staff are just simply amazing with their expertise and passion for the academy. Congratulations and thank you to you all. this academy would not be what or where it is if it wasn't for all of you.
Many appointments must be recommended for committees and boards, meetings and agendas must be planned, and there have been many phone calls and meetings in preparation. Of course there is the introduction at the Gala on Saturday night to think about as well as a short speech....no longer than 1 hour I was told! LOL! It will be fun and not to be missed! I'll give you a hint, if you are a "Smartie" you will be there!
Ricki has been awesome in her understanding of the time I am spending on Academy business and I must thank her and the family for their support and understanding. Wait till you see the dress she bought for the Gala, all eyes will certainly be on her!
Ricki and I attended the University of Toronto Alumni Association dinner this weekend and had a wonderful time. We managed to raise almost 200K to assist patients in need. BTW, we didn't win the raffle for the trip to Italy. There is always next year!
Last weekend I did manage to get out and do some photography and it was very busy and successful, not the usual for a "Nature" photographer. We managed to find a female moose a snowy owl, a wolfpack, and a porcupine which was friendly and hilarious while eating a sycamore branch! (no they can't shoot the quills)
I am regularly asked what my plans are for my year, and there are several areas we as a BOD and the other areas of leadership will be focusing on this year, however I will share with you that I have one main goal in mind, that while we strive to achieve greatness, we have lots of fun doing it!
I will try to Keep this blog going during the course of the year on a fairly regular basis to keep those who may be intereseted informed as to what goes on behind the scenes. Although this is not my primary skillset and so, if I get busy and let this slide a little, please send me a gentle reminder!
One month to go! I am truly honoured and excited.

Baseball traditionalists just love spring training and the Cactus League season. It's that special magic of hearing the first crack of the bat, the first smell of the outfield grass, and the first time hearing an umpire yell, "play ball!"
And also, the first time seeing a pitcher intentionally throw a baseball 90 miles an hour at a guy's head in retaliation for some perceived slight that happened six months ago.
Giants pitcher Barry Zito nailed Milwaukee's Prince Fielder on the very first pitch of Fielder's first spring training at-bat in Thursday's 5-3 Cactus League win over the Milwaukee Brewers. This is being unanimously perceived as a completely intentional plunking of the batter, and a classy move at that. "Give the Giants and Barry Zito credit," Bruce Jenkins wrote approvingly of the beaning incident in the Chronicle.
Wait, Zito hit Fielder? I thought he hit the batter. Who's on first?
The move is seen as blatant retaliation for a choreographed dance incident last September, when Fielder followed a game-winning home run off Merkin Valdez with a group celebration wherein Brewers players impersonated bowling pins. The Giants saw it as excessive showmanship, and clearly made a little mental note to throw something at Fielder in the future.
Zito, for his part, claims with a straight face that it was an accident. "It just got away from me," Zito told USA Today.
Fielder played off the beaning like it didn't even hurt. He playfully tossed the ball to Zito, took his base, and proceeded to clap his hands and jaw conspicuously at Zito while standing at first. "They gotta do what they gotta do," Fielder told the Mercury News after the game. "You're damn right it was worth it."
The teams don't meet again until the Monday following Independence Day weekend. Expect fireworks.
Joe Kukura is a freelance writer whose Prince Fielder jokes are not as funny as those found in The Onion.

Tigers Tame Terriers, Win NCAC Opener
September 21, 2013
Greencastle, Ind. - A pair of Emma Ueland first-half goals proved to be the difference in DePauw's 2-1 victory over Hiram College Saturday afternoon at Boswell Field.
With the win, the Tigers improved to 4-4 overall and 1-0 in the North Coast Athletic Conference, while the Terriers dropped to 5-2 and 0-1 in the NCAC.
Ueland broke away from the pack and drove home a goal in the 15th minute. Just 10 minutes later she struck again, scoring in a similar fashion in the 26th minute. Chloe Jacob provided the assist on both goals.
In the second-half the Terriers got a late goal when Abbey Rowe scored on a pass from Anna Cicchinelli in the 86th minute. However, the Tigers were able to withstand Hiram's late charge and escape with the win.
The Tigers outshot Hiram 13-8 and held a 4-1 edge on corner kicks. DePauw has now won four straight contests.
DePauw returns to action Saturday, September 28, when they travel to Kenyon. This NCAC contest is scheduled for a 1 pm start.Back

Immunization provides an opportunity to deliver other life-saving measures
Immunization not only protects children from vaccine-preventable diseases. It also serves as an opportunity to deliver other life-saving measures, such as vitamin A supplements to prevent malnutrition, insecticide-treated nets for protection against malaria and deworming medicine for intestinal worms. In addition, the benefits of immunization are increasingly being extended across the life course to include adolescents and adults, providing protection against life-threatening diseases such as influenza, meningitis, and cancers that occur in adulthood.

About four years ago I was staying with friends in Silverdale (just north of Bremerton) and went to the Kitsap Rifle and Revolver Club. They seemed well outfitted for a variety of disciplines.
I believe these folks also sponsor www.firearmstactical.com
You might be able to get info at www.gunsafety.org
Good luck finding something a little closer to home.

PG&E helped usher in the Lunar New Year with a focus on safety through various events and activities throughout the San Francisco Bay Area and Sacramento.
The company helped celebrate the Year of the Horse at the Southwest Airlines Lunar New Year Parade in San Francisco and through radio and print ads in the Bay Area and Sacramento.
"The Lunar New Year is a special time," said Fong Wan, senior vice president of energy procurement and a co-executive sponsor of PG&E's InspirAsian Employee Resource Group. "It's a time of celebrating, eating, renewal and giving thanks. PG&E is honored to join Asian-American communities to celebrate the Year of the Horse. We're also excited to have this opportunity to remind Asian Americans about the importance of being safe and what we're doing to bring reliable and affordable energy to everyone."
On Saturday (Feb. 15), a PG&E hybrid truck pulled the Wah Mei School float at the Lunar New Year Parade through downtown San Francisco. More than 20 PG&E employees, many representing InspirAsian, and their families walked alongside the float.
"The Lunar New Year Parade involves people from the areas we serve," said Waylon Pon, a PG&E customer relationship manager who covers San Francisco. "When we volunteer for events like this, it helps me learn more about the community and helps people put a face to PG&E. It allows people to see PG&E is more than just the linemen and gas service representatives. Our participation reflects PG&E's very diverse workforce and tells our customers that real people are behind our company."
Before walking in front of the hundreds of thousands of parade watchers, volunteers handed out 5,000 red envelopes to the crowd. Chinese custom calls for distributing red envelopes filled with lucky money during holidays or special occasions. But in this instance, the envelopes contained safety messages reminding people to call 811 before doing any digging under or near power poles.
During the month-long Lunar New Year celebration in February, PG&E print advertising will appear in major Asian American publications such as Sing Tao Daily and Bao Cali Today. The ads remind readers PG&E has served California's Asian-American community for more than a century and that the company's "unchanged commitment" is to provide everyone with safe, reliable and affordable energy.
PG&E is complementing the print advertising with 30-second advertising spots on Bay Area Chinese and Vietnamese language radio stations. The ads focus on energy-efficient rebate programs and reminders to make sure that trees aren't too close to power lines. The ads are voiced in those languages by PG&E Director of Corporate Real Estate Helen Vu, Director of Integrated Talent Management Yonnie Leung and Senior Director of Electric Systems Planning and Reliability Manho Yeung.

Dear 7T3ers,
So here's a scary thought: we (well, most of us*) graduated 40 years ago, and I've been Bursar for more than half of that time. And the College isn't bankrupt yet. I think that calls for a drink:
FRIDAY, MAY 31, AFTER WORK (from 5:00 pm) IN THE JUNIOR COMMON ROOM
Cash bar. Be there.
The attached schedule lists the full roster of activities for the weekend. Saturday is the big Garden Party for all honoured years (ending in 3 or 8). Should be a fun crowd – great food, good company. Hang out in the Quad; see the restored Strachan Hall!
Speaking of which, the Strachan Hall project completed last fall was the most ambitious in recent memory: $4.5 million. The Hall itself was restored from floor to peak, but not altered architecturally. Its classic grandeur now looks fresh and clean (sorry Chip, we had to remove the chocolate éclair from the hammer beam). And the kitchen was completely gutted and rebuilt. Current students – bless them – contributed $300,000 to the project from a self-imposed capital levy. This year's reunion classes are supporting the project and we need to do the same. I've committed $1,000. Can you match this? Gift form attached or go to click here to give online.
At the end of the day, what you are really supporting is the student experience. Having witnessed over 20 years of students arriving nervous and bewildered, making new friends, pursuing new intellectual interests, throwing themselves into extra-curricular activities and graduating as mature adults, I still firmly believe that Trinity offers one of the best undergraduate experiences in the country. Let's keep it that way.
See you on Friday May 31!

♀ Esther
What does Esther mean?
Esther ▼ as a girls' name is pronounced ESS-ter. It is of Persian origin, and the meaning of Esther is "myrtle, bride; star". Biblical: a young beautiful Hebrew woman who became the wife of the Persian king Ahasuerus, and risked herself to save her people. Jews celebrate the festival of Purim in memory of her. Her Hebrew name was Hadassah meaning both "myrtle" and "bride", and the form Esther is a Persian translation of it. It could also derive from Persian stara meaning "star", or be a Hebrew form of the name of the Persian goddess of love and fertility Ishtar. Esther has traditionally been given to girls born during the period of Purim, the feast that celebrates Esther's biblical achievements. The name was later taken up by the Puritans in the 17th century. Though not related in origin, Esther has been used before as an English form of the Irish Gaelic name Aislinn. Swimming actress Esther Williams; cosmetics pioneer Estée Lauder. Also form of Asta.

The first manager in Blue Jays history, Roy Hartsfield, passed away at his daughters Atlanta-area home. He was 85.
According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Hartsfield died as a result of complications from liver cancer.
Hartsfield was named manager of the then-expansion Blue Jays before the start of the 1977 season. In his three years as manager, Hartsfield put together a 166-318 record with the struggling ball club, before being replaced by Bobby Mattick before the 1980 season.
Born in Chattahoochee, Ga., Hartsfield was signed out of high school by the minor league Atlanta Crackers of the double-A Southern Association for the 1943 season before spending two years in the U.S. navy.
He was drafted in 1948 as a second baseman by the Boston Braves where he played three seasons in the major leagues, batting .273 with 13 home runs and 59 RBIs.
After his playing days ended, Hartsfield transitioned to coaching, where he worked in the Los Angeles Dodgers organization for 19 seasons followed by the Atlanta Braves and triple-A minor-league club, the Hawaii Islanders, before being named manager of the Jays.

After much effort, I've gotten to here. This tells a user to re-guess if outside range, but does not react to a number within the correct range, nor the correct number.
I know its probably full of things that could be tidier, but we're having severe problems with our course. Most of the students are feeling like we're sinking and we're trying to work out ways to rectify.
Please could someone help, in the simplest terms possible because my brain is toast at this stage, how to finally finish this off?

The City of Minneapolis and a coalition of partners plan to build 100 "eco-friendly" homes on vacant lots in north Minneapolis over the next five years as part of an effort to boost home values and ownership in the area.
Twenty-seven of the houses are currently under construction.
"Minneapolis is known for being a green, energy-efficient city, and so we want to take one of our neighborhoods that are currently being challenged and say 'Hey you deserve the best homes, too,'" said Rose Lindsay, City of Minneapolis marketing specialist .
Most of the homes, ranging in size from 1,400 to 2,400 square feet, will have three bedrooms, up to three bathrooms, and two-car detached garages. Lindsay says the homes will likely be worth $200,000 to $350,000 but will be sold for $150,000 to $250,000.
The homes will be tailored to artists, growing families, or the elderly.
Lindsay says the program will offer financial help for closing costs and down payments for those who qualify. Designs for the homes will be featured at the free Green Homes North expo at Theodore Wirth Park Pavilion Sunday afternoon.

Mai apni kidney stone ko kaise khatam kr skta hu hamesa ke ly jo dobara na ho mujhe 3 year se lgatar ho rhi h.
I am 20 year old male having problem of burning in urine. After that I have visited urologist, Dr. prescribed some test. I have problem of cystitis and easily infection. So, please suggest HOMEOPATHIC MEDICINE for this problem.
Sir, 5 mm stone formed in my right kidney. My age is 23. I consulted a doctor, he suggested some medicine n said drink more thn 4 ltrs of water per day. And I'm following wt he said. Pls tell me any other tips n how much long it take to come out.
Sir, I am a medical student I am having foamy bubbly urine from last 1.5 years I had done many usg and urine test I have a kidney stone of 5.5 mm in left kidney Nothing else seen all normal Even protien So cam you tell me tge cause of this urine.
Stones in the urinary system are referred as 'Renal Calculi'. These kidney stones are not exactly stones, but are actually hard deposits of minerals that can form anywhere within the urinary tract - kidney or the bladder. There are many conventional forms of treatment available to eradicate a stone, but Homeopathy medicines offer a much more simpler and efficient way in taking care of the kidney stones. Let us have a look at how effective these are.
Kidney Stones
Kidney stones are known to form when the urine becomes too concentrated. The primary reason for such condition could be dehydration. Kidney stones are extremely painful. Pain can be felt in the lower back or, the lower abdomen. There can be a heaviness in the urinary tract often followed by bleeding. It also changes the color of the urine to a pinkish brown. The patient may also experience nausea and vomiting.
What causes kidney stones?
As stated earlier, lack of water can be a major reason for the formation of stones. The chances of kidney stone reoccurring in a person multiplies several times if a person is not in the habit of drinking water. There are also a few food products that are high in salt that may help in the formation of stones. In conventional medications, there is no foolproof method to dissolve the stone and it often involves surgery. The operation has to be followed by months of post-operative recuperation that can be physically daunting for the patient. Also, there are chances that the stones can reoccur at any point in time. This is where homeopathy differs drastically from the conventional methods.
How does homeopathy help in renal calculi?
The biggest advantage of using homeopathy is that it treats the body as the whole. The physician would understand the patient first before imparting the treatment. The latter's lifestyle, his food habits and his stress factors are discussed in detail to get the complete picture of the type of medications to give. The other biggest advantage of using homeopathy is that there is no surgery involved. They treat the symptoms by naturally dissolving the stones, and the chances of reoccurrence are next to nil. There are several homeopathic medicines for different types of stones. There are even differing types of medicinal products for left side kidney stone, and right side one. A type of medicine - Canthari, is widely used for treating kidney stones with a burning sensation. The homeopathy physician would be in a better position to diagnose once the causes are identified. However, care should be taken that the medicines should be taken only in the prescribed format and as per the guidance of the physician.
Homeopathy is safe
Of all the important functionalities of homeopathy, the biggest is undoubtedly that it does not cause any side effects and are very effective. Since it treats the condition and symptoms from within, the chances of getting a stone in the urinary tracts are minuscule when using homeopathy medicine.
My husband is 37 years old. When he urines in toilet, sometimes his urine drops splash on toilet seat. Sometime later small red ants surround to his urine drops. I saw this several days. Does my husband have diabetes? He feels tired most of the time. Please answer.

I have no any problem I went for medical fitness test. Doctors have told me that you have 7 mm stone in your right kidney. Then I went for CT IVP. In CT IVP there is no radio dense calculus is seen. 15.2×14. 6 mm sized cortical cyst is seen in the mid pole of kidney. Both adrenal glands are normal. Both kidney are normal size, shape and architecture. They show normal contrast uptake and excretion. The cortical medullary pattern appears normal. No evidence of hydronephrosis. Peri renal spaces and pera renal fascias appear normal. No radio dense calculus is seen. Both ureters are normal in course, calibre and wall thickness. IMPRESSION: *Left simple cortical renal cyst. *Right? Partial PUJ Obstruction/extra renal pelvis (more likely, a normal variant) *Mild splenomegaly. *Faecal loaded colon. Please advice me this CT IVP report tells normal or not. Right now my health is good. I have no any medical problem. This test is required only for medical fitness test.
Urinary incontinence is the inability to hold urine in the bladder because of loss of control of the bladder. The severity may range from temporary to chronic, depending on the cause of this disease. Urinary incontinence is more common in women than men and can be categorized into three types.
Types and symptoms of urinary incontinence
Stress incontinence: this incontinence may occur while participating in any physical activity such as a sudden cough, laugh, sneezing or exercising. The stress here refers to the sudden physical pressure that a person experiences, leading him/her to urinate involuntarily.
Urge incontinence: a sudden, involuntary contraction of the muscular wall of the bladder causes an urgency to urinate. This urgency can be formed by a sudden change in position or sex.
Overflow incontinence: this is more common in men with prostate gland problems, damaged bladder or blocked urethra. The person has an urge to urinate frequently but in small amounts.
Causes of urinary incontinence
There are a number of causes of urinary incontinence ranging from aging to cancer and physical damage to the neurological disorder.
1. Aging: with age, the bladder muscle weakens and the chances of incontinence increases.
Damage: since the pelvic muscles support the bladder any damage to it (surgery or any procedure to remove the uterus) can lead to urinary incontinence.
2. Enlarged prostate: enlargement of the prostate gland in older men may give rise to this condition.
Cancer: urinary incontinence may be associated with untreated prostate cancer, which is a side effect of treatments for it.
3. Menopause: estrogen is a hormone that keeps the lining of bladder and urethra healthy. After menopause the production of estrogen is decreased, increasing the chances of urinary incontinence.
4. Prevention: urinary incontinence is not preventable but some steps can be taken to reduce the risk of it. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, avoiding smoking, practicing pelvic floor exercises, avoiding caffeine and acidic foods and eating more fiber to prevent constipation can help decreasing the risk of it.
15.2×14. 6 mm sized cortical cyst is seen in the mid pole of kidney. Is there any problem due to this. Advice me please.
I have no any problem I went for medical fitness test. Doctors have told me that you have 7 mm stone in your right kidney. Then I went for CT IVP. In CT IVP there is no radio dense calculus is seen. 15.2×14. 6 mm sized cortical cyst is seen in the mid pole of kidney. Both adrenal glands are normal.

My daughter is 4 years old, few days back she hold her urine almost for 7-8 hours and now she feels pain while passing urine. Also she is going toilet in every hour.
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are bacterial infections in the urinary system. They're very common and usually not serious, though there can be exceptions.
Your urinary tract includes your bladder, kidneys, ureters (two tubes that go from your kidneys to your bladder), and urethra (how urine goes out of your body from your bladder).
If you have a UTI in your kidneys, doctors call it pyelonephritis. If it's in your bladder, the medical term is cystitis.
Who Gets Urinary Tract Infections?
Anyone can. But UTIs are more likely if you:
- Are a woman
- Have had UTIs before
- Have a condition that affects your bladder's nerve supply (including diabetes, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and spinal cord injuries)
- Have been through menopause
- Are overweight
- Have something that blocks the passage of urine, such as a tumor, kidney stone, or an enlarged prostate
- Use a contraceptive diaphragm or spermicide for birth control
- Have a catheter, a tube placed into the bladder to drain urine from the bladder into a bag outside the body
- Are a man who has sex with men, has HIV infection, or hasn't been circumcised
Most of these traits also raise the chance that a simple bladder infection may become a more serious kidney infection, or turn into sepsis (an infection that has gotten into your bloodstream). For pregnant women, a kidney infection can raise the odds of delivering a baby too early.
- Most UTIs are due to bacteria that are normally found in your gut, such as E. coli. Other bacteria that can cause them include staphylococcus, proteus, klebsiella, enterococcus, and pseudomonas.
- Some bladder infections in both men and women are linked to two sexually transmitted bugs: Chlamydia trachomatis and mycoplasma. Another parasite, trichomonas, can cause similar symptoms.
- Women are more likely to get urinary tract infections, because the tube that goes from the bladder to the outside (the urethra) is much shorter than in men. Because the urethral opening is closer to the anus in women, it's easier for bacteria from stool to get into the female urethra. A urinary tract infection may be linked to sex.
- In men, a bladder infection is almost always a symptom of another condition. Often, the infection has moved from the prostate or some other part of the body. Or it may mean that a tumor or something else is blocking or interfering with the urinary tract.
- Chronic kidney infections in children sometimes happen because of a structural problem that allows urine to flow back from the bladder to the kidneys (reflux), or because the bladder doesn't empty completely.
