   Burglary of Retail Establishments
   Retail burglary may be prevented and/or deterred by taking certain security precautions prior to and after this crime as indicated by COPS Community Oriented Policing research (800) 421-6770).Briefly, a few of the items COPS suggest to be considered in your preparation or update of policies and safeguards to avoid retail burglary at your retail establishment are:· Know your community.· Newer businesses have a higher rate of victimization than older businesses which may indicate that the establishments become more experienced at preventing crime the longer they are in business.· Retail stores, which have greater risks of burglary, have a tendency to prepare with the most precautions, which may reduce the risk but doesn't eliminate it.· Some studies have suggested evidence of the effectiveness o
   OK, you have picked out your dream frequent flyer (FF) award flight and you need some serious miles. But you will not fly enough to rack up the points and earn the award in this lifetime. What other ways are there to earn points without flying? Hmmm, let's explore...

   Background

   • FF points are worth 2 cents each. Perhaps 2.5 cents each.

   • 25,000 points are needed for a domestic (continental North American) award flight. Hawaii and Alaska flights usually are more, but not on all airlines.

   • FF programs are free (for now) to join. You must belong to a program to earn points. That is, you cannot join and receive credit for a flight you took last week. You CAN join as late as on a flight, however.
   So, here are some ways to accumulate points without flying. They are basically listed from most to least common: Everyday Things

   [ Credit Card Purchases ]

   Most airlines offer their own branded credit card through American Express, MasterCard, or Visa. Every dollar spent with these cards, also known as Affinity Cards, equals one FF point; there are exceptions (read the Terms & Conditions to learn more). Most cards offer double miles (or 2 FF points per dollar) for purchases of their own airline tickets; but remember we do not fly that much. If you charge $2,000 a month, you will earn a free flight each year.

      Project Management System Evaluation Checklist
      "An elegant solution to the wrong problem solves nothing." - Bryce's LawINTRODUCTIONCommercial Project Management systems (PM) have been available since the early 1970's. As PC's proliferated in the workplace, so did PM software, which also brought an ease-of-use element to project management. A multitude of PM products are now available on the market, some expensive, and some very reasonably priced. However, to say all PM packages were created equally would be a gross exaggeration. Each has a specific niche they address in project management or target a specific industry.As I described in my article, "Why Does Project Management Fail?", one of the main reasons for failure is because there is a lack of consideration for the magnitude and complexities of project management and,

         Candida Causes - What You May Not Know About Yeast Infections
         Candida causes can be determined by the actual symptoms. Therefore, before you determine what to do to treat Candida; you have to know its origin. A yeast infection occurs when the Candida albicans or more commonly know as fungus, begins to grow in the vagina. In addition, candidiasis can usually be found the oral cavity, known as oral thrush; folds of skin in the diaper area or diaper rash; and the nipples during breastfeeding.Although candidiasis is the second most common cause of vaginitis, it can also occur on the male genitals, particularly in uncircumcised men. The Candida infection can involve the esophagus as well. Children between the ages of three and nine 9 years of age can also be affected by chronic mouth yeast infections, normally seen around the mouth as white patches. However, note that this is not a comm

         Tips:

         1. Look for a credit card with no annual fee. American Express offers one for Delta Air Lines. Most others have an annual fee of $60 to $100. On the other hand, the annual fee is offset by the points earned when you spend $3,000 (for $60 fee) to $5,000 (for $100 fee) a year.

         2. Buy products (and services) for others and get reimbursed. Buy computers or furniture for work, travel for family or friends, and so on. BUT, make sure you get paid for these purchases. Again, do not carry a balance and pay interest charges.
         [ Groceries ] Safeway (and affiliated chains) grocery stores give 125 United Airlines Mileage Plus points for every $250 spent. While this is not an efficient way to earn miles (since each point "costs" $2), it is a bonus for doing what you normally do. For instance, I have shopped for my groceries at Safeway for years. Now I am earning a few extra hundred miles each month with no extra effort. Cool!

         Another limited Safeway promotion offers 50 additional United points when buying five Safeway Select products. The cheapest item I have found costs 33 cents. You would have to spend at least $1.50 to get 50 points; at 2 cents each they are worth $1. If you plan to buy the products anyway, then it is another small bonus. However, it is not worth the effort or money to do so otherwise.

         Use your airline credit card to earn the standard one point for every dollar spent. Other stores and chains may offer similar programs
