Every year the Loveland Retailer Demo serves as the first gathering of the tribes around Colorado. Started and organized every year by Never Summer's Big Chief, Mike 'Gags' Gagliardi, when the Loveland Retailer Demo rolls around you know it's time to reconnect with all of our favorite people and get our shred on.
The opening day atmosphere at Loveland is always electric! We have a few traditions at NS that are very important to us…Loveland opening day tops the list. We love Loveland and have enjoyed shredding this piece of Colorado history since day one. As far as we're concerned Loveland's opening day is the day that the snowboard season begins here in Colorado. We sent Chach, Lips, Larson, Jackson, Steez, DeCicco, RC, and Gags to tear the place up and enjoy the electricity.
The 2nd Annual Never Summer Moto Jam was held this past weekend at Taylor park in Colorado. 120 of our friends and family, some new and some old, came out to join us. It rained Friday and was beautiful Saturday and Sunday making for some awesome riding and camping. If you made it thanks for coming…if you didn't we hope to see you next year!
Incase you didn't get enough of the Never Summer Soldier a couple of weeks ago we're bringing it back again this week. The Soldier is Never Summer Team rider Cameron Lawrence's favorite board…we can't seem to get him off it!
Last week at summer camp Woodward @ Copper introduced a new camp activity with their fleet of Never Summer Longboards. Woodward @ Copper has several awesome spots for longboard shredding and the longboarding activity is quickly becoming one of the most popular camp activities. We're psyched that Woodward is now able to introduce the sport to dozens of new long boarders each week!

and vote for NS. You can vote once a day for the next three days.
We sponsored summer camp session 2 at Woodward @ Copper this summer and we had an awesome time. Summer camp at Woodward @ Copper is like heaven on earth. We showed up, gave away a ton of swag (and boards…), and had some of the best times of our lives. Hope you can join us next season!
The Never Summer Soldier is the bomb when you're bombing hills. Super fast, low center of gravity, and locks your feet in like a vice. Check out the GoPro footy from the camera mounted to the deck for an up close and personal look at speed and stability.
We made the Tyrant a drop-thru. Told you it was stiff, low, fast. The ultimate in street slaying versatility. We told you the Revolt was the ultimate freeride deck. Just cruising or hitting the steepest switchback we told you this deck does it all. Sean Knapp and Ross Lietz wanted to prove it. We let them…
The Never Summer Heist is often imitated, never duplicated. Cameron Lawrence is often imitated, never duplicated. The Heist DT is a born leader in freeride flex decks and Cameron Lawrence is a born freeride flex deck shredder. Check them both out right here.

Since 2002, the city of Grenoble, France, has engaged citizens in public decision-making through participatory committees and town meetings. Residents have been able to express their opinions and make recommendations on city planning, education, cultural life, and other municipal issues. Over the years, this program has strengthened local democracy and empowered public participation in important civic projects.
The Warwick Junction Urban Renewal Project was organized in response to inefficient, unsafe, and unsanitary conditions that developed at a primary transport node located in the South African city of Durban. The impetus for the project stemmed from urban management and design issues that resulted from increased taxi and street trading activity.

Pot votes in 2 states challenge U.S. drug war
DENVER – First came marijuana as medicine. Now comes legal pot for the people.
Those who have argued for decades that legalizing and taxing weed would be better than a costly, failed U.S. drug war have their chance to prove it, as Colorado and Washington became the first states to allow pot for recreational use.
While the measures earned support from broad swaths of the electorate in both states Tuesday, they are likely to face resistance from federal drug warriors. As of Wednesday, authorities did not say whether they would challenge the new laws.

The Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (PPRA) yesterday banned 34 companies from participating in public procurement for what it termed as failure to deliver and violating their contractual obligations.
With the latest one-year ban, the respective companies would not be allowed to supply goods and services to public offices countrywide, Vice-Chairman of the PPRA board of directors, Retired Judge Thomas Mihayo said yesterday.
"It was not easy to institute such punishment, but we had no other option. Procurement laws and regulations must be respected…" Judge Mihayo told reporters shortly after PPRA's board meeting held in Dar es Salaam .
The ban comes in the face of growing public concerns over massive violation of procurement laws and regulations in public circles, creating loopholes for corruption and embezzlement of public funds.
A series of reports released by the Controller and Auditor General (CAG) unearthed syndicates of government executives who are colluding with private companies to siphon public funds through procurements made by public offices.
PPRA vice-chairman said a ban imposed on 34 companies "would provide a lesson to others."
According to Judge Mihayo, the authority's board of directors imposed the ban in accordance with Regulation No. 102 (2) published in the Government Gazette No. 97 of 2005.
"26 out of 34 companies are banned because they failed to deliver, as per the contracts they had signed with various public institutions…they will not participate in public procurement for a span of one year," noted board vice-chairman, adding "eight companies are banned because they colluded with public executives in effecting payments for unfinished public jobs."
Besides, PPRA board expressed dismay over reluctance and deliberate failure by district councils, municipalities and other public institutions to comply with procurement laws and regulations.
Reading resolutions of the regulatory board, retired Judge Mihayo said several councils and municipalities which performed poorly in public procurement during PPRA's 2010/11 performance audit were reluctant to correct mistakes—a clear signal that "Tanzanians should expect massive frauds, embezzlement, misappropriation of public funds in the coming and subsequent financial years."
After the audit, according to Judge Mihayo, PPRA sat down with the respective public institutions in the context of devising strategies to improve their performances.
"We agreed in principle that, they (institutions) would sponsor tailor-made PPRA courses on how to implement public procurement laws and regulations in their purchases…to our surprise, all of them accepted but none of them turned up for the training," said the vice-chairman.
"As we are talking to you, all of them are quiet…implying that they would continue procuring goods and services using their own styles. And this behaviour puts billions of tax-payers money at risk. So, we should expect more thefts and misuse of public funds in public offices," he further stated. Ramadhani Mlinga, the PPRA Chief Executive Officer, 34 companies currently facing the ban include Lemungo Construction Co. Ltd, Majajulu Investment Ltd, Ostrich Maintenance Works Ltd, Nzori General Enteprises Ltd, Commetech Contractors Ltd, Naiko Supplies Company Ltd, Shedol Construction Ltd, Maktech & Tel Company Ltd, Jimmy Money Enterprises, Zephania Ngeleja of Ukerewe, Mawson Construction Ltd, Mahende Garage and Construction Co. Ltd, Nyanda & Company, Kipusi Traders, Jawabu Construction Company Ltd, Mike Construction, Rana Decoration, Building and Civil Contractors.
Others are Grace Mbilinyi, Computech ICT Ltd, Girland Developers Ltd, Camsa Construction Company Ltd, Twabaha Construction Company Ltd, Mailaka Building Contractors and Civil Works, Mussa S. Mbweso, Ligero Contractors Company Ltd, Julius Mwamlima Contractors, Muson Engineers Ltd, Man-Ncheye Pa Company Ltd, F.I.C Ltd, Nyegezi JJ Construction Ltd, Jossam and Company Ltd, Satelite Contractors Company Ltd, Icon Engineers, Tengo Construction Ltd.
Mlinga mentioned district councils, municipalities and public institutions which are reluctant to implement Procurement Act regulations as: Tanzania Coffee Board, Baraza la Kiswahili la Taifa, Urambo District Council, Mtwara Urban and Sewerage Authority, High Court of Tanzania, Air Tanzania Corporation, Mkinga District Council, Singida Municipal Council, Igunga District Council, Sengerema District Council, Prisons Department, Ministry of Home Affairs, Masasi District Council, UWASA Morogoro,
Others are: Tanzania Ports Authority, Institute of Judicial Administration, Contractors Registration Board, Kilolo District Council, Kilombero District Council, Nachingwea District Council, Tanzania Cotton Board, Lindi Urban Water and Sewarage Authority, Kinondoni Municipal Council, Tunduru District Council, Temeke Municipal Council, Same District Council and Tanesco.

What is Complete-RF?
There are many brands and forms of prenatal vitamin available and not all brands are listed on this leaflet.
Prenatal vitamins are a combination of many different vitamins that are normally found in foods and other natural sources.
Prenatal vitamins are used to provide the additional vitamins needed during pregnancy. Minerals may also be contained in prenatal multivitamins.
Prenatal vitamins may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
In This Section:
What is the most important information I should know about Complete-RF?
There are many brands and forms of prenatal vitamin available and not all brands are listed on this leaflet.
Never take more than the recommended dose of a multivitamin. Avoid taking any other multivitamin product within 2 hours before or after you take your prenatal vitamins. Taking similar vitamin products together at the same time can result in a vitamin overdose or serious side effects.
Many multivitamin products also contain minerals such as calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, and zinc. Minerals (especially taken in large doses) can cause side effects such as tooth staining, increased urination, stomach bleeding, uneven heart rate, confusion, and muscle weakness or limp feeling. Read the label of any multivitamin product you take to make sure you are aware of what it contains.
Seek emergency medical attention if you think you have used too much of this medicine. An overdose of vitamins A, D, E, or K can cause serious or life-threatening side effects and can also harm your unborn baby. Certain minerals contained in a prenatal multivitamin may also cause serious overdose symptoms or harm to the baby if you take too much.
Overdose symptoms may include stomach pain, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, loss of appetite, hair loss, peeling skin, tingly feeling in or around your mouth, changes in menstrual periods, weight loss, severe headache, muscle or joint pain, severe back pain, blood in your urine, pale skin, and easy bruising or bleeding.
Do not take this medication with milk, other dairy products, calcium supplements, or antacids that contain calcium. Calcium may make it harder for your body to absorb certain ingredients of the multivitamin.
What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking Complete-RF?
Many vitamins can cause serious or life-threatening side effects if taken in large doses. Do not take more of this medication than directed on the label or prescribed by your doctor.
Before taking prenatal vitamins, tell your doctor about all of your medical conditions.
You may need to continue taking prenatal vitamins if you breast-feed your baby. Ask your doctor about taking this medication while breast-feeding.
What conditions might Complete-RF treat?

Frequently Asked Questions / Types of Cancer / Leukemia / Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL)
Selina M. Luger, MD
Last Modified: November 1, 2001
My father has Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL). He is 53 years of age. He was diagnosed in 1998, and since then his White Blood Cell count has been between 30,000 and 35,000. However, his last blood work test revealed a jump in the count to 46,000. I've researched his form of leukemia and have found him to be either in Stage 0 or 1. The only symptoms seem to be long-lasting infections. He is quite stressed, as one can imagine, and would like to have a few questions answered.
His doctor has told him that if the count reaches 100,000, then is the time to begin treatment.
Selina M. Luger, MD, Director of the Leukemia Program and Assistant Professor of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, responds:
You are obviously very informed about Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) and the risk of progression. The fact that your father has early stage CLL portends for a good prognosis in terms of the possibility of years of not needing treatment. Fortunately many patients with CLL live with the disease form many years and often never develop severe or life threatening complication.
Although the magnitude of the white blood cell count can be scary to some patients and even doctors, in general we do not usually need to treat patients because of a white blood cell count elevation alone. We usually look for other indications prior to making decisions about treatment in this disease.
We usually choose to treat patients with chemotherapy if and when they develop (1) low red blood cell or platelet counts (2) bothersome, dangerous or painful enlarged lymph nodes (3) large liver or spleen (4) bothersome fevers, chills, sweats or night sweats.
With respect to the white blood count, some physicians may choose to treat if the count is doubling rapidly, and at times just on the basis of the high white blood count (definitions of high differ greater than 100,000, 200,000, or 250,000).
Sometimes doctors may choose to give the patient treatments other than chemotherapy for some of these manifestations, such as steroids for a low platelet count or immunoglobulin treatment for frequent infections. Some patients receive radiation therapy for enlarged lymph nodes or large spleen.
We generally have talked about CLL as treatable, because in general we try to just keep the disease under control so that it does not cause any problems. Traditional therapies have not been shown to be able to get rid of the disease. However newer treatments and agents continue to become available and time will tell us if any of these succeed in actually getting rid of the disease in patients; something that would obviously be desirable if we could do so without too much risk or undesirable toxicity.
What every person should know about screening, learning about your disease and the importance of cllinical research. Read more.

They have both said they're collaborating. Cheryl's interview even made it sound like the date was set.
@Kirkland and RhythmNative- I do not think Cheryl is a monster.
I just don't buy into this opinion that some people have of Cheryl being an innocent and oblivious party in the whole media game that she is always enthralled in. Apart from when very negative stories are written about her, I think she very much enjoys being a media darling and the endless speculation/drama that surrounds her. She even said so much in an interview (I can't remember the interview) where she said that her motivation is being in the public eye and she doesn't know what motiviation people who work '9-5 jobs' have to get up and go to work.
In some ways, I do not think she is that different from Kerry Katona and Katie Price, but she is marketed as being in a different league to them when in essence, she is the same kind of 'tabloid fodder' celebrity. She just comes in a fancier package, thats all.
Every pop star, celebrity, reality TV judge enjoys being famous. That's why they do it and don't go and live in a cave in Montenegro. Her job as a pop star relies on a mutually beneficial relationship with the media. That goes without saying...
But it also goes without saying for every famous actor, singer, dancer and TV presenter on the planet. And those people don't get picked up on it. How many interviews has, say, Jennifer Anniston done about her relationship woes - and she's not instantly lumped with the 'famous for being famous' brigade. She's just a performer that needs to promote herself in order to sell a product and part of that is answering questions about your personal life.
What other female celebrity would be called a fame whore for doing an interview with Vogue? I suppose she should have called up Alexandra Shulman personally and told her to fuck off?
But the double standards are even closer to home that that. Dannii does many, many more magazine interviews than Cheryl. She also did Piers Morgan and cried. She often speaks about her personal life to interviewers even released an autobiography discussing these things in depth. And yet, I somehow doubt you see her as a sympathy milking fame whore?
There ain't a reason you and Misha B alone, tonight yeah baby, tonight yeah baby...
Yes, celebrities do rely on a mutually beneficial relationship with the media. But we are not talking about them right now because this is a Cheryl thread. What separates Cheryl from a more 'elite' group of celebrity is that her entire career basically IS being a media darling. Why do you not seem to be able to assimilate that point?Originally Posted by RhythmNative
Yes, she dabbles with X-Factor, yes she churns out an album with two decent songs on every year but at the heart of it, her job is being a tabloid darling, her passion is being famous, her passion is not making music, being a judge etc etc. Unlike Jennifer Aniston who will blab about her life when she promotes her movie, Cheryl does certain interviews/events when all she is promoting HERSELF. The Afghanistan trip is a prime example of this. She goes on a highly publicised trip to a war-torn country, gets her face in the papers everyday and Woopty do! Guess what? She releases a shoe-collection straight afterwards! Yaaay! What a PR exercise triumph! Messiah Cheryl is back after Gamu-Gate and 'fired from XF US' gate.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but at the heart of it, Cheryl IS just famous for being famous and her claim to fame is not being a great singer or judge but just being another celebrity who sold her soul to the media in a bigger way than (to use your example) Dannii Minogue and countless other female celebrities.
Clutching at straws there, you are so, so wrong.
RhythmNative knows the score!
ビッグボークラブ! // thebigbowclub.tumblr.com/ // www.last.fm/user/haz_zie
That's patently untrue PeachPie. Sure she's done TV, sure she's done endorsements, but she's also released an album (either solo or part of a group) every year since 2003. That's 8 years, 8 albums.
Hardly someone that is uninterested in being a pop star first and foremost.
Cheryl turned down Britain's Got Talent when she was offered it before X Factor. She took X Factor because it was more relevant to what she did for a living and could better be used a promotional platform for her as a pop star. And she was right, it worked very well for her and for Girls Aloud.
If she was simply interested in being on telly and not doing much else, she would have taken the job that Amanda Holden ended up doing and never bothered recording, releasing, promoting or touring again.
But she didn't. She toured again with her band, recorded a solo album, toured again with the Black Eyed Peas and then recorded again. Not a very strong album, admitedly, but she's not the first pop star to release a duff album.
There ain't a reason you and Misha B alone, tonight yeah baby, tonight yeah baby...
She looked stunning on The X Factor US last night. I would've loved to see her reaction to the man who flashed everyone.
Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves.
Actually, sorry to burst your bubble, but at the heart of it, Cheryl IS just famous for being part of Girls Aloud, a group that worked their asses off and had success as a result. Yes her fame skyrockted after that but at the heart of it, THAT is why she is famous. And your complete inablity to assimillate that fact (to quote yourself in another post) negates 99% of your other points. She has not sold her soul anymore to the media than any other star. She just is more interesting to the public, and obviously yourself as you have followed her interviews and keep making a presence in this thread for someone you feel is nothing.Originally Posted by PeachPie
Ratings are out. It came in 3rd the whole night behind Modern Family and Criminal Minds and it LOST viewers in the second hour.
Haha Shouldn't have fired Cheryl.
i left my heart at the disco and now i'm crying on the metro.
They really did jump the gun getting rid of her. As if her presence alone whether it worked or not would make or break the show. Nicole's antics last night were obnoxious and desperate. Cheryl was sweet, low key, and the camera loves her.Originally Posted by aboutyounow
Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves.
It would please me to see Simon's American Dream degenerate into a nightmare for the misery he's inflicted upon the world. It is bad enough he dumped Cheryl from X Factor USA, but the bad popstars he's unleashed over the years...such terror is masterful. We must never forget. Simon Cowell is the worst thing to happen to British pop since Betty Boo's second album flopped.Originally Posted by aboutyounow
Annie, if you're reading this...please know that I want your EP right now!
Actually, the ratings increased in the second hour. About a million more viewers and a .4 increase.
Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves.
Still, losing out to another show's third season premiere, even if it's a 'hit' show, is not great news.
Meet your new stepmom, kid.
Modern Family has grown every year in popularity and won Emmys for best comedy series two years in a row. I'm not surprised it beat out a new show. It already has a following and gets more every year.Originally Posted by Someboy

But for example The Voice beat Glee/DWTS (two highest rated shows) with it's premiere episode and it was a middle season replacement. So for a show that had a hype that X Factor had and still be beaten not only by Modern family but by Criminal minds too is not that good.Originally Posted by travk
˝She is a sexy, bionic woman, and every damn one of you will deal as she shits on your faves.˝ BEST FICTION.
Because keeping her would have made all the difference? I don't think everyone's watching Modern Family and Criminal Minds in protest at the unjust treatment of a woman they've barely heard of.Originally Posted by aboutyounow
X Factor certainly underperformed. Cheryl Cole had nothing to do with it.
Pink's fanbase have the best name: Lesbians! - Robsolete
Its funny that people are blaming US X-Factor ratings on Cheryl 'leaving', The general feeling to her in America is indifferent at best. To be honest i probably would of opted for Criminal Minds too. We've seen the Paula+Simon show before. Mariah needed to be on that panel. But anyways i digress.
Nobody said that?Originally Posted by Firebomb_92
We're just saying the ratings are really low for all the hype, not that it would made any different with Cheryl being shown for 2 hours instead of 1 hour. Although by the comments everywhere people liked Cheryl the most, so it's positive for her.
The Khaleesi
Oh yeah i wasnt talking about anything i had seen here i was refferring more to twitter. Im happy that Cheryl good her first real exposure out there, i hope she capitalises on it and strikes while the iron is still hot if you will.
From Gawker.
Funny, or fitting, then that the only fresh thing about the show was the Geordie-accented delight that is Ms. Cheryl Cole, a UK X Factor judge and pop star who was, unfortunately, fired from the US show after only two judging rounds. We saw one of those rounds, Los Angeles, in the first half of last night, and then Cole was unceremoniously pushed aside to allow room for American singing competition winner Nicole Scherzinger, a slightly lisping Paris Hilton/Kim Kardashian hybrid who, despite some possessing some bonafide singing chops and real world experience, came across as something of an empty nitwit. Scherzinger, of defunct pop-tart group The Pussycat Dolls, spent a good portion of her evening telling everyone it was her birthday and making them sing for her, as if it was cute or something. (It wasn't.) The seemingly far more modest and deceptively quirky Cole didn't seem the type to do that, and it's a shame we won't get to know her anymore. We'll see her one more time in the Chicago auditions, and then that's it. Fade to black for Cheryl Cole. You wanted something new and original, Fox, well there it is! And then you fired her. Ah well.

PaperTigers' Global Voices: Tarie Sabido (Philippines) ~ Part 3
Thursday, June 21st, 2012Filipino Readers Make It Social~ by Tarie Sabido
Part 3 of 3 (read Part 1 "Best Reads from the Philippines at the 3rd Asian Festival of Children's Content" here and Part 2 "Watch Out for New Young Adult Literature from the Philippines!" here)
Wondering about the Filipino reading community? Filipino readers are social readers. We don't just love books; we unite with other book lovers and meet both online and offline to discuss books. We regularly meet with our book clubs or other reading organizations in person, and we use social media to keep in touch between meetings. The first Filipino online and offline book club was Flips Flipping Pages. Flips Flipping Pages meets every second Saturday of the month for food, games and other activities, and discussions of books – everything from Dr. Seuss books, the Hunger Games, and Howl's Moving Castle, to Wicked, the Little Prince, and the Left Hand of Darkness. Their website serves as a bulletin and discussion board. Their latest online discussion being on books they would recommend to school children and books they would like to be part of the elementary and high school curricula.
Another online and offline reading group is Filipino Book Bloggers, an informal organization that started as an online directory and grew to include regular meet-ups. Click here to see a list of some Filipino children's book bloggers and here to see a list of some Filipino young adult book bloggers.
Last year, the Filipino reading community organized the first Filipino Reader Conference. The event was held on September 14 at the Manila International Book Fair, and included a keynote speech on the merging of readers and writers through social media, a panel on putting up and running a book club, a panel on the whys and hows of book blogging, and giveaways. Speakers included Tata Francisco, teacher and founder of Ex Libris Philippines, a book club and an organization that raises money for scholarships, and Chachic Fernandez, popular young adult book blogger and administrator of Filipino Book Bloggers. The conference provided support, instruction, and social time for readers; celebrated readers and reading; and promoted closer ties between readers, writers, and publishers.
The second Filipino Reader Conference is this August 18 and will be bigger and better, with book discussions, presentations on topics such as book blogging ethics and effective school reading programs, and the ceremony for the first Filipino Readers' Choice Awards.
The Filipino Readers' Choice Awards seek to honor Philippine-published books and give the Filipino reading public a greater voice in the Philippine publishing industry. The award categories include children's picture books, comics/graphic novels, short story anthologies, and essay anthologies. (Next year will probably see young adult novels added as a category as more are published in the country.) There will be a two-week online nomination period, followed by a one-week online voting period. A shortlist of finalists for each category will be based on the top nominations and the tally of votes. The finalists will then be deliberated by panels of reader-judges. For example, the winner of the children's picture book category will be determined by a panel of young readers.
In the Philippines, reading is a social activity. In cyber space and in person, Filipino readers engage with one another and very actively promote books and reading!
Tarie Sabido is an English teacher and editor in the Philippines. She blogs about children's and YA books at Into the Wardrobe and Asia in the Heart, World on the Mind, and writes for Kwentillion, the Philippines' first YA science fiction and fantasy magazine. Tarie was a judge for the 4th Children's and Young Adult Bloggers' Literary Awards (CYBILS) and the 1st Philippine National Children's Book Awards.
We were thrilled to have Tarie join us as PaperTigers' Global Voices Guest Blogger for the month of June. This is her final guest post of three: Part 1 of her series "Best Reads from the Philippines at the 3rd Asian Festival of Children's Content" was posted here . Part 2 "Watch Out for New Young Adult Literature from the Philippines!" was posted here.
Award-winning author Rene Colato Lainez will be joining us as our Global Voices Guest Blogger for July .

If you're anything like me while you study for certification tests, you break your lab on a weekly basis. And, while setting up services or features of Windows Server 2008 R2 isn't all that bad, creating new dummy users, groups, and OUs for lab-practice gets a little annoying and tedious. After having re-created my test lab five times in as many weeks, I decided to take a few hours in order to script the process so I could start fresh with new lab-machines every time I really, REALLY break something and have to start over.
I suppose I could back up my configuration, but sometimes I just want a brand-new domain to play with. . . especially while I'm studying for my 70-648 exam and I keep creating convoluted GPOs that don't always have the intended effect and I need to go back to something cleaner.
So, without further ado, here is the script – easily copied and pasted into a .ps1 file – for anyone else that hates sitting down and clicking through user and group-creation every time they need a new test-organization after getting that crisp, clean domain up and running.
Install your server, run dcpromo.exe, run this script, and voila: an instant lab to break play with. This script has been tested in a Windows Server 2008 R2 domain, but should run just fine as long as you're running at least Windows Server 2003, PowerShell 2.0, and have the Active Directory Management Gateway Service installed:
# Written By: Slowhand
# Date: August 10th, 2012
# Purpose: Automatically creating test users, groups, and OUs for a study-lab
# Intended for use with a fresh install of AD DS for lab-purposes only
# [Please Note]
# Users, groups, and department-OUs will not be created a second time,
# even if you give the organization OU a different name
# To successfully re-run the script,
# delete the original organizational OU from the first run-through
# This script is provided 'as-is', please use at your own risk
Import-Module ActiveDirectory
if (!(Get-Module ActiveDirectory)) {
Write-Host "An Active Directory domain is required before this script can be run"

The only other thing that's required for this script to run is a .csv file with three columns: givenName, surname, and department in order to create the users and groups properly. The following sample can be copied and pasted into Notepad and saved as 'users.csv', for example:
Here's a download link to the script and the csv file for download: instantScript.zip

Improper Touching Reported At Dunbar Middle School
By: Hubert Tate
Updated: March 2, 2013
The incident happened Thursday, after the school's black history program.
Spokesperson Pam Smith says four boys touched a girl in an improper manner when she went to get items from the band room. The issue launched an immediate investigation.
Little Rock Police are now involved.
Letters and recorded phone messages were sent to parents Friday.
Smith says parents weren't notified Thursday because the incident happened right before dismissal. She adds the district aims to be transparent, but has to gather all the facts first before alerting parents of any misconduct.

Why The Video Looks Shaky (Don Ward)
Updated: 06/18/2013 - We did a quick helicopter tour of the Black Forest burn area. Someone asked why the video looks shaky.
Four national retailers have agreed to recall more than 150,000 Nap Nanny baby recliners after at least five infant deaths and dozens of reports of children nearly falling out of the recliners.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission says the four retailers -- Amazon.com, Buy Buy Baby, Diapers.com and Toys R Us/Babies R Us -- agreed to voluntarily participate in the recall of the Nap Nanny because its manufacturer is unable or unwilling to participate.
The manufacturer, Baby Matters LLC of Berwyn, Pa., told The Associated Press that it had gone out of business.
CPSC is warning that the Nap Nanny contains dangerous defects in its design, warnings and instructions.
The recall covers Nap Nanny Generations One and Two, and the Chill model infant recliners sold between 2009 and 2012.
