3 jour(s)
This 5-day instructor led course provides students with the technical skills required to write basic Transact-SQL queries for Microsoft SQL Server 2014. This course is the foundation for all SQL Server-related disciplines; namely, Database Administration, Database Development and Business Intelligence. This course helps people prepare for exam 70-461.
This module introduces the SQL Server platform and major tools. It discusses editions, versions, tools used to query, documentation sources, and the logical structure of databases.
After completing this module, you will be able to:
This module introduces Transact SQL as the primary querying language of SQL Server. It discusses the basic structure of T-SQL queries, the logical flow of a SELECT statement, and introduces concepts such as predicates and set-based operations.
This module introduces the fundamentals of the SELECT statement, focusing on queries against a single table.
This module explains how to write queries which combine data from multiple sources in SQL Server. The module introduces the use of JOINs in T-SQL queries as a mechanism for retrieving data from multiple tables.
This module explains how to enhance queries to limit the rows they return, and to control the order in which the rows are displayed. The module also discusses how to resolve missing and unknown results.
This module explains the data types SQL Server uses to store data. It introduces the many types of numeric and special-use data types. It also explains conversions between data types, and the importance of type precedence.
This module describes the use of Transact-SQL Data Manipulation Language to perform inserts, updates, and deletes to your data.
This module introduces the use of functions that are built in to SQL Server Denali, and will discuss some common usages including data type conversion, testing for logical results and nullability.
This module introduces methods for grouping data within a query, aggregating the grouped data and filtering groups with HAVING. The module is designed to help the student grasp why a SELECT clause has restrictions placed upon column naming in the GROUP BY clause as well as which columns may be listed in the SELECT clause.
This module will introduce the use of subqueries in various parts of a SELECT statement. It will include the use of scalar and multi-result subqueries, and the use of the IN and EXISTS operators.
This module introduces T-SQL expressions which return a valid relational table, typically for further use in the query. The module discusses views, derived tables, common table expressions and inline table-valued functions.
This module introduces Microsoft SharePoint Server as a platform for BI, and then focuses on building BI dashboards and scorecards with PerformancePoint Services.
This module introduces window functions including ranking, aggregate and offset functions. Much of this functionality is new to SQL Server 2012. It will cover the use of T-SQL functions such as ROW_NUMBER, RANK, DENSE_RANK, NTILE, LAG, LEAD, FIRST_VALUE and LAST_VALUE to perform calculations against a set, or window, of rows.
This module discusses techniques for pivoting data in T-SQL as well to introduce the fundamentals of the GROUPING SETS clause. It will also cover the use of GROUP BY ROLLUP and GROUP BY CUBE syntax in SQL Server.
This module introduces the use of existing stored procedures in a T-SQL querying environment. It discusses the use of EXECUTE, how to pass input and output parameters to a procedure, and how to invoke system stored procedures.
This module provides a basic introduction to T-SQL programming concepts and objects. It discusses batches, variables, control of flow elements such as loops and conditionals, how to create and execute dynamic SQL statements, and how to use synonyms.
This module introduces the use of error handlers in T-SQL code. It will introduce the difference between compile errors and run-time errors, and will cover how errors affect batches. The module will also cover how to control error handling using TRY/CATCH blocks, the use of the ERROR class of functions, and the use of the new THROW statement.
This module introduces the concepts of transaction management in SQL Server. It will provide a high-level overview of transaction properties, cover the basics of marking transactions with BEGIN, COMMIT and ROLLBACK.
This module presents several key guidelines for writing well-performing queries, as well as ways to monitor the execution of your queries and their impact on Microsoft SQL Server.
After completing this module, you will be able to:
SQL Server provides access to structured metadata by using a variety of mechanisms, such as system catalog views, system functions, dynamic management objects, and system stored procedures. In this module, you will learn how to write queries to return system metadata using these mechanisms.
This course is intended for Database Administrators, Database Developers, and Business Intelligence professionals. The course will very likely be well attended by SQL power users who aren't necessarily database-focused or plan on taking the exam; namely, report writers, business analysts and client application developers.
This course requires that you meet the following prerequisites:

Firefly Distillery
The Firefly Distillery is located on Wadmalaw Island, South Carolina, 30 miles south of Charleston. We don't have the bright lights of the big cities. The pace is a little slower down here. We have plantations, hundred-year-old oak trees and dirt roads. Everyone is your neighbor and folks enjoy relaxing on the front porch swing, on a lazy Sunday afternoon. It's where you can hear the crickets chirping at night and you can still see the fireflies light up the sky. It was this wonderful environment and the special ingredients found right in our own backyard that inspired us to create handcrafted vodkas unlike those made anywhere else.

Crazy Tazer Lady
10:54 PM | Posted by Awesomeness | | Edit Post
"Sorry, we are not a daycare. Please control your children." This is the sign posted on a door in Colorado Springs, CO. It seems like a reasonable request to me.
Apparently not to this woman (who remained nameless). She was so outraged by the sign that she threw merchandise at the stores owner and his mother. On a positive note, he tazed her.
So she's getting The Toolie today. First of all, what in the hell is wrong with that sign? Secondly, how is throwing stuff supposed to teach them a lesson?
Bwahahahaha, you just got tazed bro.

With the first non-CIS export deliveries on their way, Sukhoi urgently needs to fix SSJ 100 reliability issues
Russian aircraft manufacturer Sukhoi has started flight-testing the long-range version of its Superjet 100. But if the SSJ program is to become a success, the technical flaws that affect the baseline version must be conquered.
The first prototype of the SSJ 100LR made its maiden flight Feb. 12. The variant has a range of 4,578 km (2,845 mi.) compared to 3,048 km for the basic type. The long-range version can carry more fuel and is powered by NPO Saturn-Snecma SaM146-1S18 engines that provide 5% more thrust than the standard SaM146s.
According to United Aircraft Corp., Sukhoi Civil Aircraft Corp.'s parent company, the SSJ 100LR trials will take 3-4 months. Certification of this version is slated for 2014. Gazpromavia is signed on to be the first operator. The carrier, a subsidiary of Russia's energy giant Gazprom, placed an order for 10 SSJ 100LRs in 2011.
Sukhoi officials meanwhile say measures are underway to improve the appalling reliability record of the Superjets already in service. Because of a range of technical issues, four of Aeroflot's 10 SSJs were temporarily grounded. They were cleared to resume regular flight operations earlier this month. The pressure on Superjet's civil arm is mounting now that the first export deliveries to Indonesia-based Sky Aviation and Mexico-based Interjet are imminent. Laos-based Lao Central received its first aircraft Feb. 15.
Aeroflot stated in an internal presentation in January that its SSJ 100s were involved in 24 technical mishaps in 2012. The aircraft was therefore responsible for 40% of the total technical incidents for Aeroflot's fleet of 125 aircraft during this period. Most common were problems with the SSJ 100's air conditioning system. Other issues that cropped up frequently affected the aircraft's flight controls, landing gear, fire protection system and engines. Aeroflot's SSJ 100s have logged a total of 17,313 flight hours or 9,186 flights as of January.
But Andrey Nedosekin, Sukhoi Civil Aircraft's senior vice president for post sales support, says the major problems have been identified and repairs are already underway. A service bulletin addressing the erroneous engagement of the air leakage detection unit—a part of the overall air conditioning system—has been issued and implemented for all aircraft at the production site. Sukhoi announced that all necessary changes will be implemented across the operating fleet by summer.
Another service bulletin addressed a slat extension fault after a new design was validated during additional bench tests. According to Nedosekin, the corresponding design improvements were implemented on the four grounded Aeroflot SSJ 100s. A schedule to correct the balance of the affected aircraft is being worked out with all carriers, according to Sukhoi. The manufacturer will be compensating the airlines for financial losses incurred during the grounding.
The landing gear defects were detected on only two aircraft in January and, according to Nedosekin, were not system-related. A mechanical defect prevented the landing gear from retracting, but the issue has been addressed by working with the unit's manufacturer—Messier-Bugatti-Dowty.
This year, Sukhoi plans to replace seven of Aeroflot's SSJ 100s with new so-called full-version aircraft. The first, slated to arrive in March, features individual air vents for passengers, more lavatories, a new weather radar with windshear detection mode and an improved flight-management system. Aeroflot asked for these requirements after it inked the initial contract for 30 SSJ 100s in 2005. To avoid delivery delays, the carrier agreed to take the first 10 aircraft in a more basic configuration provided they would be replaced later. The other three aircraft will be replaced at some point even further in the future. Nedosekin says the returned SSJ 100s will be offered to other customers.
Another Russian airline, Yakutia, began SSJ 100 operations at the end of January. Yakutia's two SSJ 100s are configured in a 93-seat twin-class cabin layout (eight seats in business class, 85 in economy). The East Siberia-based carrier faces harsh winters, so the performance of its SSJ 100s is likely to differ from that of Aeroflot's, which operate in the milder central regions of Russia. In December 2012 the Commonwealth of Independent States' (CIS) Interstate Aviation Committee issued a supplemental type certificate verifying SSJ 100 operations in northern latitudes at temperatures up to 78F and down to -54C.
The launch customer for the SSJ 100, Yerevan, Armenia-based Armavia, is unlikely to resume operations of its only aircraft of the type. It was delivered to the Armenian flag carrier in April 2011. In summer 2012, Sukhoi refused to return the aircraft from a maintenance check, stating that the carrier was severely in arrears. The matter is still in dispute.
Nevertheless more foreign airlines are to start SSJ 100 operations this year. Sky Aviation ordered 12 aircraft while Lao Central signed for three aircraft with an option for six more. Type certification for the aircraft was issued in Indonesia in November 2012, followed by Laos in December.
Sky Aviation went ahead with its purchase despite the May 9, 2012, crash of an SSJ 100 prototype during a demonstration flight near Jakarta. In December 2012, the Indonesian aviation authority cited human factors and the absence of detailed terrain charts onboard as the primary causes of the crash.
Two green SSJ 100s intended for Mexican carrier Interjet are being completed in Venice by the Russian-Italian joint venture SuperJet International, the entity responsible for sales in Western markets.
Sukhoi plans to increase the annual rate of SSJ 100 deliveries to 30 aircraft in 2013 and to 60 in 2014. In 2012 the company rolled out 12 airframes and delivered seven. The official backlog stands at 179 aircraft. Plans are to certify the Sukhoi Business Jet version by the end of 2014.

Bella has been crowned the most popular dog name in Lancashire according to a new poll revealed by The Kennel Club.
Second place was awarded to Lola and third place to Poppy, followed by Ruby, Teddy, Alfie, Molly, Daisy, Luna and Hugo.
Buddy and Max were also included in the UK's most popular dog names.
The poll was released by Agria Pet Insurance for the Kennel Club's Eukanuba Discover Dogs event.
Caroline Kisko, spokesperson for the Kennel Club's Eukanuba Discover Dogs event, said:
"There is a wide variation in the dog names that are popular in different parts of the UK. Dogs are part of the family, so our choice of dog name is very personal and our recent research has indicated that almost one in five people (20 percent) spend more than two hours on the choice."
The Kennel Club's recent research included a poll of 2018 dog owners conducted by Censuswide in August 2017.
Caroline adds, "However, people need to give a lot of consideration to the right breed for their lifestyle as well, in order to ensure a happy and lifelong partnership, and sadly some people are spending less time on this than choosing their dog's name. Whilst five percent choose their dog's name on impulse this is 23 percent when selecting a breed."

As we knew he would be, Broncos veteran cornerback Champ Bailey is inactive for tonight's opener against the Ravens.
We didn't know that veteran cornerback Quentin Jammer would also be inactive. But Jammer's name was on the list when the Broncos listed the inactives, which demonstrates just how far down on the depth chart Jammer is.
The Broncos' other inactives are quarterback Zac Dysert, guard John Moffitt, guard Chris Kuper, tight end Joel Dreessen and running back C.J. Anderson.
The Ravens' inactives are wide receiver Aaron Mellette, tackle Jah Reid, center Ryan Jensen, wide receiver Deonte Thompson, linebacker John Simon, defensive end Arthur Jones and defensive tackle Brandon Williams.

big ass - Awesome blonde Maggie Green fucked in nice cunt
We went to get some food and came across this lady with some serious cleavage. Quickly, we sat down at the table next to her and started to plot out the situation. Levi passed by her and broke the ice with some questions on his way back. Maggie was bummed because her girls friends' flights were delayed, and she had this big ass suite and no one to party with. We kept the conversation going and played the nice guys. After a while, Maggie opened up to Levi and asked if we wanted to have a good time up in her hotel suite. We got up to her room, and it had a great view of the ocean. Maggie popped out her massive tits and gave us another great view to gaze upon. She'd said she wanted to have fun, and she meant it. Levi didn't have much to say after that. Maggie wrapped her tits and lips around his cock, as she got heated up. He bent her over the bed and started to pound her from behind, as her tits swung all over the place. Her big natural tits were really something to watch, as she rode him and practically pounded him in to the bed. Maggie begged for him to cum all over her, as Levi stroked his cock between her tits to finish the sweet, midday, fuck session.

After a hellish January, I settled down to some light reading, a book that was recommended to me. I won't name the book or the author, because that's not how I roll. But I was shocked to find, after enjoying the book for almost three hundred pages, something so fundamentally "WTF?" that I had to stop reading: the hero, an African-American, casually got into his refrigerator and pulled out grape soda.
For those unfamiliar with grape soda as a stereotype, well... it's a stereotype. I have no idea how it came about, or why, but grape soda is up there next to chicken and watermelon on the "Stereotypes about African-American eating habits" list. So, last night, when the black love interest offers the white heroine a grape soda, I heard this in my head:
Not only was this offensive, but it got me thinking about how just plain offensive white authors can be when writing about non-white people in general. For instance, what is up with not mentioning the race of a character outright? Let's say I pick up a book and it says this:
"Lamont was tall, with dark hair and burnt-caramel skin. His full, sensuous lips were the kind women envied, and his gold eyes burned in their dark setting."
What that tells me is that the character is black. Right? I'm suppose to assume that, from his name, the description of his lips and the color of his eyes, that he's a black man. Well, why not just say this?:
"Lamont was tall and black, with the kind of full, sensuous lips that women envied. His gold eyes burned with intensity..." etc.
Why are white authors so afraid of mentioning anybody's race? Is it because white people pride themselves on being "color blind?" "Oh, I didn't describe Lamont as being African-American because I don't see color, and neither does my heroine." That's complete BS, and it's more offensive than pointing out someone's race. For one thing, it's dishonest. Let's say you're white and you're out shopping with your friends, one of them white with red hair and one of them black with black hair. You get separated from them, and you ask the really perky blond girl at the kiosk who wants to try and straighten your hair right there in the middle of the fucking mall for some reason NO I AM NOT INTERESTED AMBER, LEAVE ME ALONE FOR GOD'S SAKE if she's seen your friends. How do you describe to Amber, the inappropriately placed hair straightener, what your friends look like? The first thought that will come to mind is "A redhead and a black girl." You won't say the part about your second friend being black, though, because you've been taught that acknowledging race is rude.
Well, you know what? It's not, and exactly the opposite is. In fact, refusal to acknowledge the race of a person or a character is not just rude, it's flat out racist. What you are doing is making their race something to be ashamed of, something you don't talk about in polite company. Oh, sure, it fulfills the "I'm colorblind!" mentality that white people have pushed for years, but when a white person says, "I don't see color," what they are saying is, "I see everyone as a white person." Being "color blind" removes a part of the character's identity, and an important part. Unless you're writing your book set in a fantasy world or the far, far future in which racism has been completely eradicated, your character's experience of being African-American or Asian or Latino in the Western world is going to be a part of what forms their opinions and personality. And if you're not prepared to deal with that, and treat their race and experiences as valued differences instead of something to be ashamed of, maybe you shouldn't be writing non-white characters, white authors.
So, my fellow white authors, lets make a pact to stop doing the following:
- Avoiding any explicit mention that the character is of a different race. It's perfectly fine for white people to notice that a Person of Color is, in fact, OF COLOR. We all do it. It's called having eyes.
- Describing a character's non-white skin color in food terms as a substitute to naming their race. Stop it, please. No more caramel, no more dark chocolate, no more coffee-with-cream, no more. Please, God, no more. When you sit down to write a love scene between two white characters, do you describe your white hero's skin as "the color of golden vanilla ice cream"? No. You don't. Stop turning People of Color into your food fetish.
- Relying on stereotypes to flesh out Characters of Color. Not every black woman has to be sassy. Not every Hispanic woman has to speak Spanish fluently, or come from a huge family.
- Pretending that because we write Characters of Color, we are completely without prejudice. You still probably have some. I know I still do. Ignoring it won't make it go away. Confronting it does, and working to retrain ourselves from the things we learned from society and our families is a lifelong process. The second you start acting like you don't have a racist or prejudice bone in your body is the second you close yourself off from learning anything.
Back to the grape soda. I firmly believe that this author, who would not acknowledge the race of this black man by explicitly telling the audience that he is a PoC, was misguidedly using the grape soda as a clue to the audience as to the hero's race. I could even go so far as to say that she might have been warned away from mentioning his race outright by a well-meaning editor who didn't want to offend anybody, but who didn't see anything wrong with the grape soda reference, either through ignorance of the stereotype or the misguided assumption that since Dave Chapelle made jokes about it, it's fair game now. I don't know. But it really got me thinking about what I'm going to be more careful about in my writing in the future. I hope it makes some other authors think about it, too.

Andrew Le of the Hope College music faculty will present a piano recital on Sunday, April 14, at 2 p.m. in Dimnent Memorial Chapel.
The public is invited. Admission is free.
The theme of the recital is "Going Back." All three works on the program are some of Le's favorite music from his childhood years, and are among the first pieces of classical piano repertoire he heard as a young child.
Le will be performing "Children's Corner," by Claude Debussy; "Impromptu in A-flat major, Op. 90 no. 4," by Franz Schubert; and "Sonata no. 3 in B minor, Op. 58," by Frederic Chopin.
Debussy's "Children's Corner" is a six-movement suite. Debussy dedicated it to his daughter, Claude-Emma (affectionately called "Chou-Chou" by her dad), who was three years old, in 1908. Le noted that the craftily composed piece evokes an ambiance of child-like simplicity but is actually quick difficult to play well. His performance of "Children's Corner" will be dedicated to the memory of the victims of the Newtown Massacre.
Le noted that Schubert's music is also difficult to play well, and for similar reasons as with "Children's Corner." Schubert's fourth and last "Impromptu" from his Op. 90 set is very often taught to young, advanced piano students. The perceived simplicity of Schubert's musical architecture and phrasing belies the enormous complexity of its colors and harmonies.
The very first compact discs that Le owned as a child were of Chopin's piano music, one of which was a disc of Chopin's Sonatas. "The Third Sonata, in B minor" was one of the very first music scores he purchased.
All three of these composers - Debussy, Schubert, and Chopin – are Le's favorites and will be represented on his commercial compact disc recording, which will be released in late summer 2013 on the Blue Griffin label.
Le is currently head of keyboard studies and associate professor of piano at Hope. His performing has been described as "individualistic without a trace of contrivance or eccentricity" by critic Harris Goldsmith of the "New York Concert Review." Le's wide-ranging repertoire spans centuries of music, and he has performed solo recitals, as a chamber musician, and as soloist with orchestras at halls and music festivals throughout the United States and abroad.
Le performs frequently with his wife, violinist Jennifer Walvoord. Together, they are the artistic directors of the Chamber Music Festival of Saugatuck. He is also the founder and director of the Brown Bag Series at the Holland Area Arts Council, an informal concert series designed to encourage and foster the accessibility of classical music to the public. Passionate about serving his local community, Le has also performed recitals as food drives, the last of which brought in close to 600 non-perishable items that were donated to the Holland Rescue Mission.
Dimnent Memorial Chapel is located at 277 College Ave, on College Avenue at 12th Street.

There is one 10-day period circled on every calendar in Beaufort County. Vacation days are saved exclusively for the end of July, as they are every year. The kids are out of school and the summer weather beckons residents to spend their days by the river.
This period is known as the Beaufort Water Festival, and it begins Friday at Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park.
Running strong for 58 years, the Beaufort Water Festival offers families a chance to spend their time in the true Lowcountry fashion: By the water. It one reason thousands of tourists flock to the area and Beaufort businesses flourish around this time each year.
"When people come into our area, whether they're local or whether they're from afar, they come into town and eat in our restaurants," said Robb Wells, tourism division executive at the Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce.
Beaufort officials say the festival has an impact on the town's restaurants, hotels and downtown businesses, though they keep no data on its economic effect and the number of tourists who attend. Wells said the chamber plans to track the festival's financial impact in the future, though he did not specify a start date.
"We are looking into developing that research model," Wells said.
"When you have an event that is on such a large scale, like the Beaufort Water Festival, it's not a one-day shot," he said. "That is one of the benefits that the Beaufort Water Festival brings - (tourists) sustain visitation for a long period of time."
Paul Donella, executive chef at Panini's Cafe on the Beaufort waterfront, said his restaurant sees a jump in sales during the water festival.
"It's a great boost. I mean, it really is a significant increase in sales for the month," Donella said. "We can see as much as a 30-percent increase for the month."
Reuniting 'old Beaufort'
The city typically expects about 50,000 people to attend the festival, which runs Friday to July 28. The volunteer-run festival features nightly concerts in the park, athletic competitions, and an ongoing arts and crafts fair among other events.
Beaufort Mayor Billy Keyserling said the city's hotels and restaurants see more financial benefit than any other industry during the festival.
For Keyserling, who grew up in Beaufort, and his fellow citizens, the true meaning of the festival adds up to more than dollars and cents.
The festival began in 1956 as a three-day event featuring a parade, a water-skiing competition and a beauty contest where girls from all over the state attempted to become the Queen of the Sea Islands.
Over the years, the festival has expanded, evolving into the current 10-day event thousands of people look forward to each year. Keyserling said it has a powerful meaning for Beaufort residents.
"It's a period where lots and lots of natives, some of which are who you don't see on a daily basis, gather together," Keyserling said. "The water festival really brings a lot of old Beaufort back together. I might see someone who I haven't seen since the last water festival, or someone who I went to school with, or who I worked in a tomato-packing house with as a kid, or someone who I used to play ball with."
Taste of local culture
One of the unique aspects of the festival, according to Beaufort City Manager Scott Dadson, is that it gives tourists a chance to experience Lowcountry culture firsthand.
Much of Lowcountry life, especially in the summer, is centered on water. It is only natural the festival takes place by the water and events like Saturday's raft races and Dragon Boat Race Day are held in the water. Nightly concerts provide examples of Lowcountry entertainment, like beach music and country music.
"The fact that a group of people can pull off an event this in the middle of the heat of the summer, with the number of people who come and enjoy it, I think is an amazing thing," Dadson said. "And it's purely attributed to the fact that they are a great group of volunteers, and a great group of people who are dedicated to doing that."
The Beaufort Water Festival is a Lowcountry party that has not stopped for 58 years, and has no end in sight.
"The Beaufort Water Festival always has been, and always will be an excellent representative of the good people of this community and how they come together and do things," Dadson said. "It's truly a part of the city and this community."

Fish Species
Goose Lake Tui Chub
Scientific Name
Siphatales thalassinus thalassinus
PLEASE NOTE: The photos and information shown here are for the species Tui Chub, of which the Goose Lake Tui Chub is a sub-species.
Life History
Tui Chub are capable of adapting to a variety of environments and dietary habits. They are found in springs, ponds, lakes, large sluggish streams, and in the shelter of small swiftwater streams. Typically Tui Chub habitat is characterized by slow water and abundant aquatic vegetation. Most Tui Chub waters have summer temperatures in excess of 20°C. The optimal range is 15-30°C, though these fish have shown the capability to survive from 2°C to 36°C. In addition, Tui Chub are tolerant of dissolved oxygen levels less than 4 mg/L and can handle highly alkaline waters such as Eagle Lake. Tui Chub diet may vary with location and time as these fish are opportunistic omnivores. Fish in one location may focus on detritus and supplement with invertebrates or plants, whereas in a different water body they might focus on benthic macroinvertebrates and supplement with fish and fish eggs. Most often Tui Chub feed on detritus, organic matter, and plants. The characteristics of a water body affect both feeding and growth in these fish. Tui Chub found in ponds or springs rarely exceed 20 cm SL, though in large lakes Chubs commonly reach 30-40 cm SL. Tui Chub reach sexual maturity after 2-4 years and spawn in spring and summer, with most breeding occurring between April and July. In some isolated ponds spawning may begin as early as February and continue into August. Fecundities are typically high, and eggs sometimes ripen at different times, leading to multiple spawning sessions per season. Typically Tui Chub spawn in shallow water areas with adequate gravel substrate and aquatic vegetation. One female may be surrounded by several males waiting to fertilize eggs. The fertilized eggs stick to the substrate or aquatic plants until hatching 3-6 days later. The resulting larvae feed in a pelagic state until reaching a length of around 2 cm, at which time they move towards shallow water. Tui Chub may live up to 33 years in large lakes, though they tend to have shorter lifespans in small isolated waters.

KUALA LUMPUR, Indonesia, July 3 (UPI) -- Two men with longstanding HIV infections who had bone marrow transplants no longer need anti-retroviral therapy, U.S. researchers say.
Dr. Timothy Henrich and Dr. Daniel Kuritzkes, physician-researchers in the Division of Infectious Diseases at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston said one patient stopped anti-retroviral therapy 15 weeks ago, the other stopped seven weeks ago.
Last summer, Henrich and Kuritzkes announced the virus was easily detected in blood lymphocytes of both men prior to their transplants and became undetectable by eight months post-transplant. However, at the time, the men remained on anti-retroviral therapy.
Since coming off anti-retroviral therapy this spring, the men continue to have no detectable HIV DNA or RNA in their blood, the researchers said.
"While these results are exciting, they do not yet indicate that the men have been cured," Henrich said in a statement. "Long-term follow up of at least one year will be required to understand the full impact of a bone marrow transplant on HIV persistence."
The study demonstrated at least a 1,000-10,000 fold reduction in the size of the HIV reservoir in the peripheral blood of these two patients, but the virus could still be present in other tissues such as the brain or gastrointestinal track, Henrich said.
"If virus does return, it would suggest that these other sites are an important reservoir of infectious virus and new approaches to measuring the reservoir at relevant sites will be needed to guide the development of HIV curative strategies," Henrich said.
The findings were presented Wednesday at the International AIDS Society Conference in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Here are some tips for keeping a food journal:
(1) Ditch the judgment: Awareness alone will help you clean up your eating habits. Use that to your advantage. Commit to writing it all down, without beating yourself up over the results.
(2) Write it before you eat it: Calculating the caloric damage of a fistful of M&Ms before you toss them back might be all you need to keep you walking past the office candy jar.
(3) OK, then log it immediately after you eat it: If you wait until the end of the day, you might conveniently forget that 3 p.m. vending machine run.
(4) Invest in plastic: Doing your best to weigh and measure your food will help control portion sizes. One shortcut: Buy inexpensive food storage containers in 1/4 cup, 1/2 cup and 1 cup sizes. Use them to portion out your favorite foods (and pack meals and snacks) so you're not always hunting for a clean set of measuring cups.
(5) Commit to just 90 days: In three months, you'll be a calorie-counting savant.
#LATfit: 52 ways to leave your blubber
(6) Embrace routine: Calculate the calories on a handful of healthful breakfast, lunch and snack recipes that you enjoy. Then stick to them. It will make food journaling much easier and give you room to splurge.
(7) Come up with a reward system. Sounds silly, but what about gold stars on every day you faithfully keep your journal? And maybe a movie or a manicure for every 10 stars? And a massage or a round of golf for every 30?
(8) Investigate before dining out: Many restaurants put their menus online and include calorie counts that can easily transfer to your food journal. Use that information strategically: When your buddies are all standing around wondering where to go for grub, you can suggest the place that suits your needs.
(9) Don't sweat the unknown: If you end up being wined and dined at an exotic restaurant and find yourself puzzling over how best to calculate those unfamiliar ingredients and dishes, don't panic. And, whatever you do, don't ditch the journal just because it's not 100% perfect. Just do your best.
(10) Remember the 80/20 rule: If you can keep faithful track of your meals at least 80% of the time, you're already ahead of the weight-loss game.

5 Must-Have Elements for The Perfect Outdoor Space

For many of us, the pollen is finally clearing, and it's time to get that outdoor space spiffed up so that we can spend the maximum amount of time outdoors. What makes a great outdoor space? Here are my personal top five:
Even the tiniest of spaces needs plants to enliven it. Surely there is room even on the smallest of balconies for at least a potted plant or two. Consider a trellis, hanging pots or boxes that hang over the railings if you're short on floor space.
Modernica's mid-century modern pots with stands are one of the chicest modern ways to add life to your outdoor space.
Sometimes, the moon is not enough (or it's a sliver). Enhance your lighting scheme however you can — tiki torches, lanterns, even inexpensive outdoor holiday lights can be just the right way to set the mood.
I'm also crazy about these pots from Offi, because they double as mood lighting. A compact fluorescent bulb is all it takes for them to light up your outdoor space with magical ambiance. Shop more outdoor lighting options —we've got everything from perforated candleholders to outdoor lamps with indoor style.
Yes, lots of people have fancy fire pits and full chimneys start at about tens thousand dollars. But it is easy to bring in a small fire pit that will keep you more than toasty on a cool night and toast a smorgasbord of s'mores to perfection.
Loll's Fire Ring Set comes with an array of different colored tops so that it can serve double-duty as a coffee table when it's not smoldering. But I like charcoal gray because it's modern and it goes well with fire.
You cannot very well host that al fresco dinner party you've been thinking about without a proper table and chairs. Whether you buy new or set up some sawhorses, an old door for a tabletop and a mix of chairs from indoors, start envisioning your outdoor tablescape.
While I'd like to think it's my scintillating personality that keeps my friends coming back to my screened-in porch for wine night, I know it's really the cushy sofa where everyone can get comfy on big pillows and put their feet up.
The Blu Dot Jibe Collection is my favorite new outdoor line. It has all the comfort of indoor furniture without getting overwhelmed by overstuffed cushions.
What are your personal top five outdoor elements? Can't live without the bubble of a fountain or the tunes from Pandora? Let us know in the comments section.

Thank you!
I want to send a big public THANK YOU to Early Forest for the wonderful prize pack they sent me for winning their photo contest. The bag and water bottle have already been put to good use already, and I can't wait to go out and identify new trees with my new guide. Is that super dorky? Who cares?!
I've been on "tree hiatus" due to multiple life changes....But stay tuned for updates. I'll be back soon.

Denise Fogle has proudly served as a councilwoman for the City of Lebanon since 2008. However, Monday, when her fellow council members renewed their oath of office, she was forced to resign.
Retirement, or more specifically, because of the regulations governing the Kentucky Employees Retirement System.
Confused? Don't worry, you aren't the only one.
Fogle worked for more than 30 years at Central Kentucky Community Action, and in that position, she paid into the Kentucky Employees Retirement System. Since she was already part of the KERS when she joined the council, the city was also required to withhold part of her salary as a council member for her retirement.
Fogle was laid off by Community Action in July, but so far she has not received any of her retirement benefits. The reason: according to Chapter 78.510(6) of the Kentucky Revised Statutes, Fogle is still "employed" by the City of Lebanon.
Under this statute, elected officials are treated the same as city employees, and as long as Fogle is "employed" by the city, she cannot receive any of her retirement benefits.
Fogle and her daughters, Tara Montgomery and Jasmine Fogle, have been trying for months to find some way to convince the state retirement officials to allow Fogle to retain her council seat and receive her benefits. Montgomery said they were even told even if Fogle wanted to serve voluntarily and without pay, she would still not be eligible to receive her retirement benefits.
Instead, retirement officials made it clear that Fogle had two choices: (1) continue to serve on the city council and receive no benefits or (2) resign from the council and get her benefits, which include a pension and health insurance.
Considering that city council members are paid $300 per month before taxes are taken out, Fogle really only had one option.
Just like the other council members, Fogle takes her public duties seriously, and she has a sincere desire to serve her community. And, her community obviously wanted her to serve. In the most recent election on Nov. 6, she received 1,142 votes, more than any other council member. We find it completely ridiculous that Fogle is being cheated out of an opportunity to serve her hometown. Not to mention, the citizens of Lebanon are being cheated out of having an elected official of their own choosing.
It's not fair, to her or to the people who voted for her.
We strongly encourage our local state legislators and other state officials to find a way to fix the flaws in these regulations. Civil servants should not be forced to decide between surviving and serving their communities.

I'm a 21 year old gay male who has had some encounters of oral sex (receptive no ejaculation, insertive) and mutual masturbation/kissing. I have been with 8 guys, but only performed oral 6 of those times.
I cannot think of a single time I swallowed, and have only been exposed to small amounts of precum.
However, I was diagnosed with shingles (on my right chest with small outbreak on my neck and lower face). I know that shingles is an OI and am very concerned about this.
I know oral, especially without ejaculation is low risk, but I am worried. What do you think, Dr. Frascino?
What do I think? I think concerns about shingles and HIV now definitely qualify for QTND/ATNC status. See below. Stop worrying!

Hiv and Shingles (SHINGLES) Mar 18, 2007
Hi Dr Bob,
This site has to be the most humerous HIV site in the world - very refreshing.
Anyway, here's my story. 6 months ago I made the biggest, drunken mistake of my life and had protected (condom), vaginal sex with a sex worker in a sauna. This took place in England but the girl was from Latvia. The condom did not break (as far as I am aware). She also performed protected oral sex on me (with a condom) and I inserted two fingers into her vagina for a few seconds. At the time I had a girlfriend of 4 years, and continued to have unprotected sex with her, despite feeling terrible guilt. 3 weeks after the incident in the sauna, I decided to get myself checked out, and tested negative for all STD's including Hiv. 8 or 9 weeks after the incident, I again tested negative for HIV, and was assured that although a 3 month test was recommended, I could be extremely confident that it would be negative given that the encounter was protected and thus (very) low risk and that my latest (8 or 9) week test had been negative. Stupidly, I decided not to bother with the 3 month test, and continued to have unprotected sex with my girlfriend. I convinced myself that I had put it all behind me. I have since seperated with my girlfriend, but recently she came down with a bout of shingles. This has brought my anxiety flooding back, as I am aware that shingles in young people (she is 21) is very rare and is sometimes a sign of hiv. Her shingles is mild. Should I be worried? I know I should probably get tested again (I should have done so at three months), but do you think I should be worried? I havent slept with anyone since the sauna incident apart from my girlfriend (now ex), and I am confident she has only slept with me aswel. I suppose what I'm asking is this: is this shingles outbreak likely to be a sign of HIV in the context of my story?
Thanks, A very worried young man
Response from Dr. Frascino
Hi Very Worried Young Man, (SHINGLES)
This type of shingles question comes up so frequently it's become a QTND (Question That Never Dies) and now has an ATNC (Answer That Never Changes). See below. Your worries are unwarranted. However, your keen sense of appreciation for a wickedly twisted sense of humor is commendable (and appreciated!).
Stay well.
Dr. Bob
Shingles Oct 11, 2006
Doc,Im 42 Year old male,and have just be told,i have a mild outbreak of shingles.I have been tested for hiv(negative)two years ago.I have protected sex (intercourse)but unprotected for oral with female,i see on most internet sites,that shingles is a sign of hiv.Doc do you think i may hiv? regards mick uk
Response from Dr. Frascino
Hello Mick UK,
Another QTND (Question That Never Dies)! See below, Mick. Relax! It is extremely unlikely that a mild case of shingles in a 42-year-old guy whose only HIV risk is "protected sex" and "unprotected oral" would be related to HIV disease. If you're worried, a repeat rapid HIV test will give you a definitive answer in just 20 minutes!
Good luck. Stay safe. Stay well.
Dr. Bob
Shingles Sep 21, 2006
Hi Dr Bob,
Well after a week and a half of a wierd looking rash around the left side of my waste and a portion of my thigh, my wife talked me into going to the doctor. He immediately diagnosed it as shingles. After searching for hours on the 'net and educating myself about shingles I have noticed a correlation between shingles and initial signs of HIV, especially young adults (I am 28). I have not had unprotected sex in 6 years (other than my wife) and even before that can't remember any 1 night stands of unprotected sex. I'm fairly certain my wife has not had any affairs. I guess my question is this; what is the likelihood of this shingles outbreak being an initial sign of HIV / AIDS? I have had no other health issues other than this latest outbreak of shingles. How many individuals actually find out they are HIV positive by a shingles outbreak as the only symptom?
Thank You, This site has been great so far.
Response from Dr. Frascino
"This site has been great so far?????" Hmmm . . . gosh, what else do we have to do to gain your unqualified approval? Make you a cappuccino? I would imagine in the great coffeehouse of life yours would have to be a venti one-Splenda-in-the-bottom, double-blended, half-caf, half-decaf, double-shot mocha chocolate latte, no whip, right?
Dude, if you've had no potential HIV exposures, you don't have to worry about HIV. As it turns out, the vast majority of cases of shingles even in young adults has absolutely nothing to do with HIV.
If you're worried, get an HIV rapid test. You'll have your definitive result in just 20 minutes. It will be negative. How do I know? Well, I got your coffee order right, didn't I?
Stay well.
Dr. Bob
Shingles at age 28? Im about to lose my mind. Please Answer Sep 3, 2006
Dr. Bob,
I received an HIV negative result exactly 1 year ago (and well past the window period). Since that time I have had sex with 3 "high risk" females. Each were protected and the condom did not break. Anyway, over the last 2 months i have let the "am i infected" monster creep back into my head. Compounded with graduate school examinations over the last 6 weeks, I have been an absolute emotional wreck. Ive had indigestion and loose stools and jock itch. Ive been sleeping terribly. So today i look in the mirror and see a a red patch outbreak on my back. I know its shingles because im in the health care profession. Anwyay, i go onto the internet, the trusty steed of the symptom hunter, and found multiple sites saying that Zoster infections are a common first sign of HIV infection. I went to the ER and explained to the doctor my fears. He was an absolute asshole and just told me that "only immuncompromised young people get shingles", shook my hand, and left. Is this true? Can 6 weeks of crippling anxiety over possibe HIV infection, compounded with school examinations cause this. All of my sexual contacts were protected. From other posts it seems like my risk with protected sex with an intact condom would be virtually nonexistent, even if all 3 sexual contacts were HIV+. Please answer. Ive got exams coming up and am incapable of studying.
Response from Dr. Frascino
I absolutely agree with you! Protected sex with an intact latex condom properly used would make your HIV risk virtually nonexistent, even if your partners were HIV positive.
So what's up with letting the creepy "am I infected monster" creep back into your brain??? You know the facts!!! HIV cannot permeate intact latex. No way. No how. You're a "healthcare professional," frevinsakes!
As for the Internet being the "trusty steed of the symptom hunter," I'd say that's a one-way ride to worried-well hell!
Regarding the ER doctor, yep, "absolute asshole" would be accurate. Plus, I would add "woefully misinformed" to the adjective list. Shingles can occur in young folks who are not immunocompromised! If he doesn't know this, he shouldn't be working in an ER. In fact, he shouldn't have even made it out of medical school.
So relax, Max! Your HIV test a year ago was negative and your risks since then are "virtually nonexistent." If the "red patch outbreak" on your back is indeed shingles, this is not due to HIV. Yes, stress ("crippling anxiety") can cause a flare in herpes eruptions.
It's time for you to put the creeping creepy "am I infected" monster back in his cage. Scientific fact plus common sense should keep him/her securely and permanently locked up!
Now get back to your books! You can't use HIV as an excuse for not studying anymore!
Good luck on your exams. Stay well.
Dr. Bob
