I am ashamed to admit that I, like so many gay men, buried my head in the sand when it came to HIV. Like many in the gay community, I too had become fatigued with hearing about safe sex, HIV, AIDS, etc. I subconsciously, but purposely, avoided taking an HIV test, because I wanted to live the illusion that my IV meth use and the activity that goes along with that lifestyle would have no consequences to my health. And HIV was the unspoken pink elephant in the room amongst modern gay guys. The only time HIV was ever mentioned was when gossip and speculation over someone's status became the topic of the moment.
The nine days between my HIV test and the results was time spent in a sort of limbo. Life felt like it was on hold pending my test results. I spent those days questioning so many aspects of my life and the decisions that brought me to that point. I often tried to imagine or daydream on what my life should have been like at that point, had I made better and different decisions, but all of the things I had done wrong overwhelmed me.
What if I never left John? Would I still have gone down the road of intense sadness at the failure of nine years of marriage?
What if I never tried meth that first time?
What if I never used unclean syringes?
These overwhelming thoughts caused me to disassociate from myself; it felt surreal; it felt like I had been dropped into someone else's life. In retrospect, I believe my mind was trying to protect itself from itself by not allowing me to get caught up in regret.
When I tried to see my future, I drew a blank. I could not see past my upcoming test results. I pondered how my life would be different if I had HIV.
Would I take better care of myself?
Would it be harder to date?
Would it be harder to trust others and to allow love into my heart?
Would I want to kill myself or would I find a new appreciation for life?
These questions would run a continuous loop through my head.
I was sitting at work when I received a voicemail on my cell phone from the doctor's office letting me know my test results were back and asking if I could please call them back to schedule a time when I could come in to get my results. I freaked out. If the results were negative, I felt they would have just said so in the voicemail. I called the doctor's office back and they let me know the doctor had cleared his afternoon so that I could come in and speak with him. I knew with 100 percent certainty at that point that my test had come back positive.
I emailed my mom (she worked upstairs from me at Marriott) and let her know what the doctor's office had said. The reality of what was happening was starting to kick in and I began to panic. Mom said she would go to the doctor's office with me; there was no way I could have gone by myself. So, we both got off work early to meet with the doctor at 4:30.
When I got there, I had Mom wait in the waiting room. The nurse took me back to the doctor's office and Dr. Shamblin came in.
On Oct. 25, 2007, I was diagnosed with HIV.
I remember disassociating from myself at that moment. Everything became hazy and foggy, literally. I couldn't hear well; all I could hear was a whooshing noise, my vision had tunneled, and the room had become hazy. All I could feel was my heart pounding. I felt shame creep through me, making my face burn. Dr. Shamblin asked if I had brought anyone with me, or was there anyone he could call. I let him know my mom was in the waiting room. We decided it would be best if he told her separately and then brought her in to see me.
I felt so ashamed when I looked up and saw my mother, yet at the same time relieved that I had someone to help me get through this horrible moment. She hugged me; I was in zombieland, as if I had totally shut down. I am glad she was there, because I don't remember much of anything past this point. I know we talked about the next step being to find an HIV specialist, which Dr. Shamblin's office took care of.
When we left the doctor's office, I knew I needed to be alone, though my mother didn't think that was a good idea. She probably thought I would be suicidal, though I truly was not. I just needed the space and time to come to terms with what I now knew. The only way I can take in awful news of any kind is to be alone. Support, at least initially, is best given by giving me space. I drove home, put on my pajamas and just stared at the wall. I did text Brad and Adam in Chattanooga and let them know.
Here is what I recorded in my journal on Oct. 25, 2007:
I am HIV positive. My greatest fear has become real. I am still in shock. I have not broken down yet ... I wish I could feel something. I start to feel sad, very sad -- but then my mind suddenly slams the door to those emotions. My world as I know it will change. I don't believe I am strong enough to handle this. I don't want this at all.
I went downhill fast emotionally. My initial reaction to take some time alone spiraled into a full withdrawal from life, from everyone. Outside of work, I withdrew and didn't allow anyone in. I did not become angry; I did not cry; I did not allow myself to feel very much emotion of any kind. I felt like a failure in life, having erased and dirtied my soul and my body by getting HIV. I felt so dirty; I felt like garbage; I felt ashamed. So many times I felt like I just wanted to die, though I wouldn't say I was suicidal, because I didn't idealize or ponder how to kill myself; I just wanted to simply die due to an act of mercy from God. I lost my appetite because of the emotional trauma, but I also had a thrush infection, so eating was painful anyway. I had to force myself to eat during this time.
My physical and emotional health were so poor, I found myself wishing I would die in my sleep so I didn't have to be a participant in my life anymore. I also found out that I was anemic just after my HIV diagnosis. Anemia is common, and dangerous, in those that are HIV positive. Anemia plus my HIV explained my constant fatigue. Night sweats were a nightly occurrence. Fatigue became my intimate friend. My lymph nodes were always swollen.
I finally broke down a month later while visiting my mom's house. I let it all out, all the anger, the sadness, and the fear ... all in equal part. Something inside of me ripped open; the scab was ripped off my emotional wound, and finally, healing began.
Over time, I came to realize that my family was beyond supportive of me. At my absolute lowest point in life, they provided me love and encouragement to find the will to live. My mother never once allowed me to feel sorry for myself, beyond that first month or so. She always was an open ear and an open heart for me to lean on. My dad was supportive as well, even driving me to my first appointment to get lab work done. He was afraid they would take too much blood and I would be too dizzy to drive home. (He was right.) My brother and sister-in-law were supportive as well, not letting me be afraid to play with the kids, even though I was petrified I would get a cut or scratch or something, but in all these years that has never been a danger.
Having HIV has forced me to grow up and learn some hard truths about myself, and yet I have also found a peace and strength I never knew I possessed. Having to deal with my HIV brought all the fragmented pieces of myself together and caused me to make changes that created a more solid me. I had already ended my meth addiction, as well as stopped drinking alcohol -- challenges by themselves.
I went on HIV medication two years after my diagnosis, because my HIV was having a continuing degrading effect on my physical health. My health after starting HIV meds, though not perfect by any means, is still much better than what it was. Gone was the fatigue, but in its place is a constant tiredness. Before, I barely got through the day ... crashing and collapsing at the end of each day. Now, I can at least find the bare minimum of energy needed to live life.
But ... and this is a big but ... people need to understand that being on HIV medication in no way brings your body or your immune system back to what it was before. Most people can't just take a pill once a day and go back to normal.
Gone is your energy. Gone is your ability to go a day or two without some level of nausea. Gone is your ability to have normal bowel movements. (TMI, yeah, but it is also the reality.) Gone is your ability to be spontaneous and take a road trip without careful planning to make sure you have enough meds. Those ads that you see where a buff, tanned, hot dude is standing on the top of a mountain, presumably having just hiked there ... that may be the reality for a few, but it is not the norm for most.
If I have influenced even one person to get tested for HIV or to think twice before doing something foolish, then I have done what I have set out to do. And remember too, just because someone tells you they are HIV negative, [that doesn't mean you can stop being cautious, because] 1 out of every 5 -- that's 20 percent of -- gay guys who have HIV don't even know it.
Jason McDonald is 38 years old and has lived in Tennessee since he was 12. He's been in a relationship for almost four years now, with an HIV-negative man.

[Chorus: C-Murder]
Don't blame me for the pain the world has caused
Don't blame me for your own imperfectionate flaws
If every individual were to accept his own blame
I think the world would be a better change
A better change
Nigga don't blame me cause my lyrics hittin your chest like gunshots
And my thoughts seepin into your brain like cooked rocks
It's like a thick I have on a nigga mind is ??? yall
Sort of like ???????? of thugs
To break off from an overrated government full of corruption and hypocrites
That try to immoralize yourself when they untouchable by laws, that's bullshit
They say I'm overrated, but I'm highly educated
Incarcerated but reinstated and I know them faders really hate it
Rest in peace Malcom and King, TRU soldiers of the black folks
See while yall gone, I'm a be a mouthpiece for the ghetto
I feel like it's my duty, I be elected through spirit
One of the chosen few soldiers from the infamous No Limit
Records, a cooliation of highly respected ghetto millionares and servents
Just some independant brothers that deserve it
Now don't point your finger partner, just pratice what you preach
Cause it really ain't my fault playa, so don't blame me
[Mr. Serv-On]
Believe me
If I had my wish I'd robbin every day nigga wake
Cause if you let the world tell em my lyrics are the reason why
Lil niggas took the pains they can't take
Or the troubles he left behind
Why I gotta be the vision
I ain't even lookin at when your child choose music and he choose mine
But if you was a better parent he wouldn't look up to my kind
And time life taught me
The last minutes of your life is like bail, you either make it or you don't
You either goin love me or you won't
But don't blame me when your child ain't got enough to eat
And nigga I appreciate if you goin buy my CD's
But yall ain't got a decent pair of shoes on his feet
The streets taught me you gotta accept your blame and don't blame it on others
I look at my mother and I watch her suffer
But we beat the bad times in uptown
And nobody gave a fuck, everybody came around
We made it on our own
And turned a fucked up life into a happy home
[Chorus: C-Murder]
[Mia X]
Don't blame me because my skin tone's like God's own
The oldest skeleton was chose to be an Africans born
I'm from a strong race of people who can never be denied
Every tear we cry's like rain water and so our sea dries
Ghetto flowers shades of ebony in full bloom
Women of color got sentenced, blessings unto our womb
They'd rather see us doomed, placin flowers on tombstones
But BeBe's kids multiply while yall tryin to plum to save your own
Label me wrong because I spit the raw real
Yall feel all my verses, even if I curse it's straight through em
Screw em, I takes my blame, you hypocrites make me sick
Tryin to sabotage my arches, thoughts stay on some scandelous shit
Get a grip on the way you truely live
Entertainment can't raise your little kids
Run your households
You got to mold thier minds and tell them what to look out for
Gangsta rap won't be a cop out no more
[Chorus] - 2X

Pulis exit shocks Palace staff
Crystal Palace caretaker manager Keith Millen says the players have been left shocked and confused by the departure of Tony Pulis.
The club announced on Friday that Pulis had left Selhurst Park by mutual consent after reportedly falling out with co-chairman Steve Parish over transfer policy.
Pulis was named Premier League manager of the season just three months ago after leading Palace to survival and an 11th-placed finish.
"We are all shocked from the players to the staff," said Millen, who has been put in temporary charge of the team's Barclays Premier League opener against Arsenal on Saturday.
"We knew the frustrations of the club that we hadn't brought in as many players as we wanted but as far as training is concerned we had no inkling this might happen."
Millen continued: "The players are asking why. This has happened now three times what with Dougie (Freedman) leaving and then Ian (Holloway) and now Tony.
"So they're asking why. It's important to reassure them they've done nothing wrong.
"Tony loved working with the group and they are a great group to work with.
"Now all of a sudden they're wondering who is going to come in and what direction we're going."
Parish and Pulis had disagreements in the initial period after the former Stoke boss was appointed but Pulis insisted at the end of last season their relationship had improved.
Palace have so far signed Martin Kelly from Liverpool, Fraizer Campbell from Cardiff and Brede Hangeland from Fulham.
The club, however, failed to finalise deals for the likes of Gylfi Sigurdsson, who returned to Swansea, and Steven Caulker, who chose to join QPR.
"We've been frustrated as a club over transfers because we haven't brought in as many players as we'd like to, but we've still got two weeks to bring players in," Millen said.
"Tony is a very single-minded person and he knows what he wants on the football field.
"You can see that from how he organises the players and that's why we were successful last year.
"Then Steve quite rightly has the club's interests at heart and that's the same at any club. Where they've fallen out I don't know but you've got two strong-minded people there."
One area of disagreement reportedly centred around former Palace forward Wilfried Zaha, who the club are believed to have pursued against Pulis' wishes.
"That certainly wasn't a disagreement, he's a name who has been mentioned all summer," Millen said.
"We do need to strengthen in that area and Wilf ticks a lot of boxes. We don't even know if Man United have made him available though and if he was, I'm sure a lot of clubs would want him."
Former Cardiff boss Malky Mackay has been installed as the early favourite to replace Pulis but Millen is also considered a possibility along with Tim Sherwood, Neil Lennon and David Moyes.
Millen was put in temporary charge before Pulis' appointment in November when the team picked up four points in four matches.
"We'd just got promoted and had one win in 10 games - the time then wasn't right for me (to take over permanently)," Millen explained.
"It's slightly different now, we've had almost a year in the league and we've done well.
"I honestly haven't had a chance to think about my situation yet - after Saturday I'm sure I'll sit down with the chairman and see what his thoughts are going forward."
Kelly completed his move to Palace on Thursday just hours before Pulis departed but the 24-year-old defender saw the humorous side of his untimely arrival.
Millen said: "I was in the car park when Martin pulled up this morning - he got out and said, 'I didn't think I trained that badly yesterday'.
"He's seen the lighter side of it but I had a chat with him in the office because it was important he understood it was a club decision to bring him here.
"Even though Tony has gone he will still be a big part of this club going forward."

House Democrats re-elected Nancy Pelosi as their leader Wednesday, ratifying the status quo in a changing Washington despite widespread frustration over the party's direction.
That disenchantment manifested itself in 63 lawmakers supporting Pelosi's opponent, Ohio Rep. Tim Ryan, in the secret-ballot vote. That was by far the largest defection Pelosi has suffered since she began leading House Democrats in 2002.
Still, the California lawmaker had declared ahead of time that more than two-thirds of the caucus was supporting her, and she won almost exactly two-thirds with 134 votes. It was a testament to her vote-counting skills and to her ability to hang onto power even in dark days for Democrats, as they confront a capital that will be fully controlled by the GOP next year.
U.S. & World
"I have a special spring in my step today because this opportunity is a special one, to lead the House Democrats, bring everyone together as we go forward," Pelosi said after the vote, appearing elated in her victory.
She disputed the suggestion that she might be concerned about the defections she suffered. "They weren't defections, I had two-thirds of the vote," Pelosi said, repeating "two-thirds, two-thirds" to a group of assembled reporters.
And she insisted Democrats would rebound. "We know how to win elections. We've done it in the past, we will do it again."
Supporters said the 76-year-old Pelosi was their best bet to confront a President Donald Trump from the minority after Democrats picked up only a half-dozen seats in the House, far fewer than anticipated and well below Pelosi's predictions. Republicans are on track to hold at least 240 seats in the House next year, while Democrats will have 194.
"We need someone who is battle-tested," Rep. Debbie Dingell of Michigan told fellow Democrats in nominating Pelosi. "We need our leader to be seasoned, tough."
For their part, Ryan and his backers insisted that they had won a victory in sending a message to Pelosi about the significant desire for change among House Democrats.
"Somebody had to do something," said Ryan, a seven-term lawmaker who before now had been largely a back-bencher. "Our prospects have improved just because of this conversation."
Yet Democrats' marginalized status was evident as Ryan struggled to answer a question about who would lead the party forward, before concluding: "We're all going to participate in leading the party."
Leadership elections were originally scheduled to be held before Thanksgiving but were delayed to give Democrats more time to consider a path forward. Lawmakers expressed frustration over a range of issues, including stagnant leadership in their caucus, and Democrats' failures to connect with white working class voters.
"I'm very concerned we just signed the Democratic party's death certificate ... unless we change what we are talking about, which is really the working man and woman's agenda," said Rep. Kurt Schrader of Oregon.
Pelosi has earned respect and loyalty from many Democrats over the years, including as a powerhouse fundraiser, raising over $140 million for Democrats in the 2016 cycle, and as a skilled legislative tactician. As speaker in 2009 she steered Obama's health care law through the House and also pushed through a divisive bill to cap carbon emissions, but Democrats suffered massive losses in midterm elections the next year and lost their majority.
Pelosi's victory Wednesday came only after she promised some changes to assuage concerns in her caucus, including adding a member of the freshmen class to her leadership team and creating a handful of other titled positions. But her proposals do little to ensure new blood at the very top or change the seniority system that has key committees led by lawmakers in their 80s at a moment when the party needs to be defending the health care law and other initiatives dear to Democrats.
Some House Democrats did not hide their disappointment at the outcome.
"It is obvious the current strategy doesn't work," said Rep. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona. "Millions of Americans don't feel that our party represents them anymore and they've said so, loudly, in multiple elections."
Pelosi's top two lieutenants who've served by her side for years were also re-elected Wednesday, both by acclimation. Maryland Rep. Steny Hoyer, 77, will continue to serve as Democratic whip, and South Carolina Rep. Jim Clyburn, 76, will continue in the No. 3 spot as assistant leader.
Rep. Joe Crowley of New York became conference chairman, a term-limited post vacated by Rep. Xavier Becerra of California. The position of conference vice chairman was hotly contested between two Californians, Linda Sanchez and Barbara Lee. Sanchez prevailed narrowly with 98 votes to 96 for Lee, becoming the first minority woman in leadership.
Associated Press writers Matthew Daly and Mary Clare Jalonick contributed to this report.

If you type
[so] in chat, it auto-expands to "Stack Overflow". This is a problem in http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/95/english-language-usage, since you might type "so" in brackets to indicate an editorial change in a quote.
This happened in this chat message.
The same behavior occurs in comments (including on EL&U).
Proposed fix
Disable the expansion for
[so] and
[So], at the very least on EL&U and its chat rooms.
Note that you can still use the
[SO] expansion for Stack Overflow. I expect most people already use the capitalized abbreviation for SO anyway.

Forget about droids that make breakfast or try to take over the World. In the UK, a team of scientists have constructed a robot to assist them in the eccentric and perverted-sounding British sport of Welly Wangling, which has nothing to do with masterbation. It's actually the sophisticated sport of hurling a boot as far as you can.
They've taken an engine from a concrete mixer, paired it with a gearbox from a Citroen sedan, and a 6-1/2 foot diameter shoe-chucking disc which rotates at up to 250 times per minute. The point? To build robots that work better in teams...we have no idea how tossing shoes translates into teamwork, but we're not qualified to question the eggheaded scientists. Next week, they'll get together with other boot-tossing robots to name the ultimate footwear throwing champ. For those who don't win, booter luck next time!

I Want To Build My Own Pond. How Do I Go About Planning It Out?
William – Scottsboro, AL
There are a number of considerations that need to be made when planning for a large pond. These basic and important tips will help make sure you are on the right track and well prepared for constructing and maintaining the large pond that's right for you.
Purpose– What do you want to use your pond for? If for fishing, plan for depth and habitat. If for swimming, consider implementing a shallow beach and gradual slopes.
Shape – What do you want your pond to look like? Ponds with uniform shape are often easier to care for as they typically posses less shoreline and can be circulated with less obstruction.
Size – How big do your want your pond to be? The size of your yard can play a large role in determining pond size. Purpose is an equally important factor; do you want to use your pond for swimming and skating?
Surroundings – What will be around your pond? Avoid areas that introduce excessive amounts of debris. Runoff and foliage are two common contributors to pond muck. Berm the edges of your pond to prevent runoff and distance trees away from the shoreline.
Depth – How deep should your pond be? A typical depth for a large pond is six to eight feet, though if you plan on stocking specific fish such as walleye you will want to increase the depth to provide adequate habitat.

Cameron University President Cindy Ross will be joined by Maj. Gen. Mark McDonald, Commanding General of Fort Sill and the Fires Center of Excellence, for Cameron's annual Veterans Day observance on Monday, November 12. The ceremony will take place at the university's new Veterans Grove, located on the north side of Howell Hall, at 12:50 p.m. The ceremony is open to the public.
"The military community is a vital part of Cameron University, and we are pleased to honor both retired and active-duty service members on Veterans Day," says President Ross. "We are also honored that Maj. Gen. McDonald will be joining us for this special observance. In addition to attending the Veterans Day ceremony, I encourage community members to visit Cameron's Bentley Gardens, which will be transformed into a field of American flags."
For the second consecutive year, the grounds of Bentley Gardens will be awash with American flags, one for each of the more than 6,500 American men and women who lost their lives during the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. The breathtaking display will be available for viewing beginning on Wednesday, November 7.
The November 12 Veterans Day ceremony will begin with a minute of silence to honor our nation's veterans and active-duty service men and women. Volunteers will then read the names of those whose lives were lost during Operation Iraqi Freedom, Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation New Dawn since last Veterans Day, as part of the National Remembrance Roll Call.
Following the Roll Call, Maj. Gen. McDonald will speak, and Cameron will dedicate the new Veterans Grove, a serene grove of trees with seating to serve as a place of reflection and remembrance honoring those who have served our country.
In the event of inclement weather, the ceremony and dedication will be take place in Aggie Gym.
There are also other planned activities. Inside the McMahon Centennial Complex, Cameron will provide opportunities for students, faculty, staff and community members to send cards to area veterans as well as a Wall of Remembrance on which individuals can leave notes of gratitude. Additionally, Cameron University and Sodexo will provide a complimentary meal to active duty military and veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Shepler Cafeteria.

SKF offers new Lincoln electrically driven lubricator
2016 January 12, 10:00 CEST
Gothenburg, 12 January 2016: SKF today announces the introduction of the Lincoln electrically driven lubricator (EDL1). Utilising progressive metering devices, the EDL1 has been developed for usage in sectional lubrication systems as well as in large machines with different lubrication requirements at varying distances.
This easy to use dosage and pressure-booster pump is designed to increase input pressure of at least 2 bar (29 psi) up to a maximum of 280 bar (4,061 psi). As an affordable lubrication solution, the EDL1 can be used with existing tubing, fitting material and filling pumps.
The EDL1 operates effectively in challenging environments, including outdoor applications with fluctuating temperatures. Because lubricant is supplied by means of filling pumps or cartridges, the device provides flexibility and self-sufficient function, even in remote locations. The EDL1 features an integrated control board for both impulse and time controlled lubrication and is able to notify lubrication failures.
The EDL1 is suitable for food and beverage and railroad applications, as well as cement and other heavy industries. It also can be utilized in many industrial applications that require an affordable sectional lubrication system.

Saturday night was our next experimental pizza - Jeremy's turn to pick. He opted for the pesto, sausage and tomato pizza (no surprise that he went for the one with sausage on it...)
It was another FANTASTIC combination. I don't know that I've had much pesto (despite being a basil fan), but it was fantastic on the pizza. We used the same whole wheat pizza crust as the previous pizza post (alliteration!) but this time there was basil and oregano added along with the garlic and onion powders. Jeremy and I aren't sure which pizza we liked better so far, but Oscar still thinks his pick was the best (and it did win price-wise).
We also had some company for pizza night - Nana, Danielle and Aaron stopped by and stayed for dinner - the more the merrier! PawPaw stayed for pizza last week, so who knows who will show up next pizza night. My pick is up next week (and it's Nana's pick too, so we might have to invite her over to taste test)!
Pesto, Sausage, and Tomato Pizzas
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1/2 pound Italian sausage, casings removed
- 1 pound pizza dough, at room temperature
- cornmeal, for the baking sheets
- 1/2 cup pesto
- 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
- 8 ounces bocconcini, halved
- kosher salt and black pepper
- Heat oven to 475° F. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes; transfer to a plate.
- Shape the dough into 4 rounds and place on 2 cornmeal-dusted baking sheets. Dividing evenly, top with the pesto, tomatoes, bocconcini, and sausage; season with ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper.
- Bake until the crust is golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes.

Howie Mandel won't have to hassle the Hoff for his next gig.
The former "Deal or No Deal" host will be replacing David Hasselhoff on "America's Got Talent," NBC Universal Television Entertainment Chairman Jeff Gaspin confirmed on Sunday morning at NBC's Television Critics Association panel.
"David is leaving… and yes I believe Howie Mandell is replacing [him]," Jeff said.
The soul-patched star will be sitting at the judges table alongside Piers Morgan and Sharon Osbourne when the show returns in summer 2010 for a fifth season.
"As you know, Howie was a big part of our schedule for the last several years with 'Deal or No Deal,' and we thought he did a phenomenal job," Jeff told AccessHollywood.com and other reporters following the panel. "If you think about an expertise, Howie has had a Las Vegas show for years and he constantly performs in Las Vegas. So we actually though — not only is he a great communicator, but he's actually an expert."
However, Jeff added there would be no more "Deals" for Howie.
"We are not doing any more 'Deals' for NBC currently," he said.
As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, David announced his departure from the reality competition last week, along with plans to start his own TV show.
On Wednesday, an NBC source told Access that no candidates had yet been selected to take his place.

The charges were brought for the two men's participation in the forced evacuation of Phnom Penh and other areas of the country, and the execution of hundreds of officials of the ousted Lon Nol regime.
The case, Case 002/01, is the first of at least two against Chea, then deputy leader of the Communist Party of Kampuchea, and Samphan, who was the regime's head of state.
"I want journalists to know if journalists write stories that people don't want to believe, stick to your gut. If you are confident and you keep showing through your research and reporting that you were right, just stick to your gut."
Court observers and victims have expressed their concern over the delay, however, a court spokesman said that the proceedings would resume this week.
History would prove the Swedes wrong, though Bergström himself disavowed the Khmer Rouge in 1979, a year after his return from Cambodia.
While the former cadres no longer fear war with their fellow countrymen, tensions with neighboring countries come up regularly in conversations about the state of the peace.
The radio show will focus on women living under the regime, and the impact of sexual and gender-based violence, both historical and contemporary.
DC-Cam has completed 19 memorials since it began its Genocide Education Memorial Project in 2010.
Former chief of infamous Cambodia execution site confesses to fatal burning US prisoners in 1970s.
An estimated 1.7 million Cambodians died during the rule of the Khmer Rouge between 1975 and 1979.
Some $260 million has been spent on the proceedings since 2006, with only one defendant, Duch, receiving a full sentence for his charges of crimes against humanity.
"At the end when Uncle Nuon ordered me to destroy all human beings from S-21, I was very shocked and could not do anything. I was sick the day that the Vietnamese arrived," Duch told the court. "I was very scared."

It was that kind of thinking that led to the creation of the JECO Music Library, a premium collection of commercial-length compositions that first debuted in 1998 has grown stronger and stronger. Our newest version of the collection was just released in mid-2005.
As a composer for JECO Music (www.jecomusic.com), a bicoastal original music and sound design house, I started to notice several years ago that a lot of our best work wasn't being used after the demo stage for our clients. Ad agencies, for example, would tell our team - me, JECO composer Jon Ehrlich, and executive producer Gus Reyes - what they were looking for, and we would create multiple (often three or more) original scores to make sure we nailed the sound.
Only one of our versions could win, naturally, and after their favorite JECO score was in place in their commercial, it didn't seem like there was much need for the alternatives we had worked so hard on. With another custom score project always just around the corner, we would usually make a backup of the unused songs and not give them another thought.
But then something interesting happened. A creative at one of our biggest ad agency clients who was working on a campaign with a particularly tight music budget called JECO and asked, "Do you have any unused demos that I could throw onto picture to see if it works?" We put together a CD with tracks we thought might be in the ballpark, and the result was a home run. Not only did he license a track for that project, he dipped into the compilation and licensed another one for a second project. We had a feeling we were on to something.
What we realized was that even though our unused scores had been made with one specific project in mind, they still worked for a lot of other projects as well. Since commercials often follow a natural arc and rhythm, it's not surprising that a :30 or :60 score with top-quality concept, recording and mixing fits in with more than one ad.
We knew that JECO had the chance to do something pioneering, and we made it happen as we became one of the first commercial music houses to release a companion library. We combed through all the material we had compiled in the course of bidding for jobs and selected only the very best :30s and :60s, with and without vocals, and put them in a professional CD package that went to media producers, music supervisors, and video editors nationwide. Dividing the tracks into categories of feeling/mood like "Casual/Genuine," "Heart Warming," and "Energy/Driving" made it easy for our users to zero in on what they were looking for.
The positive response since we released our first edition shows that this is a concept that works. Cuts from the JECO library have been used on many national campaigns, including a spot that aired during the Super Bowl. Beyond that, regional and corporate uses are widespread, and demand keeps growing. The 2005 version called for the addition of 100 new tracks, bringing the total breadth of the library to over 400 tracks.
That may seem like a lot of tracks, but it's still a highly select range relative to the tens of thousands your standard stock house puts out each year - it's a difference that clients pick up on when choosing to budget more for a premium library like JECO's.
The benefits of a music house converting their unused scores into a library should be easy to see. Your hard work, previously relegated to a dark corner of your hard drive, is now equity that can continue to pay dividends for you down the road. Your clients benefit because they now have an alternate way to access your sound, and not only will it get to them quicker, but they may be able to afford your services in a situation where you may have otherwise been unattainable.
On the flip side, producing, distributing and marketing your own music house-branded library is hard work. Before going that route, keep some basic guidelines we follow firmly in mind:
- BE CONFIDENT YOU'RE THE BEST. If you don't have deep experience in scoring for commercials, primetime, TV and film, then your library isn't going to be ready to go to air. Every single cut needs to be terrific, from the composing to the performance to the mix. Make sure you're winning the big jobs consistently before you start replicating CDs with your name on them.
- MAKE THE COLLECTION TOP QUALITY. A library of tracks intended to match up to national campaign-caliber visuals has to be made up of only your best work. Be merciless in your self-assessment. If you don't have enough fantastic cuts to make a full library at the end of the day, then put it on hold and wait until you do.
- MAKE IT MANAGEABLE. Being selective with your tracks will signal to your library's users that they'll find something useful quickly. Categorize it in a way that makes perfect sense to the time-starved people you're producing this for.
- ENCOURAGE USERS TO TEMP WITH IT. Everyone knows about "temp track love." If your library tracks are up to par, video editors won't hesitate to drop them into the temp track. Once the agency realizes they can license the beloved temp track with a quick phone call to you, they'll be thrilled.
For music houses willing to make the considerable extra effort, your own library is an amazing way to maximize your scores. At JECO Music, it was a step well worth taking.

Guard Pregnant By Cop Killer Is Charged
NEW YORK (CNN) — A pregnant prison guard was accused Tuesday of having sex with a convicted cop killer, according to a source close to the investigation.
Federal Bureau of Prisons officer Nancy Gonzalez, 29, was arrested on suspicion of unlawful sexual abuse on a ward, according to a federal complaint.
Gonzalez had relationships in 2012 with two inmates at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, authorities said.
The federal complaint did not mention the names of the inmates, but the source told CNN that one of them is Ronell Wilson, the presumed father. He was convicted of killing two police officers in March 2003.
In a recorded call, according to the complaint, Gonzalez told the second inmate about her pregnancy, allegedly by the other inmate: "I took a chance because I was so vulnerable and wanted to be loved and now I am carrying his child."
The guard said she "kind of got sucked into his world" and "felt like, well, why not give him a child as far as giving him some kind of hope," according to the complaint.
Gonzalez allegedly told colleagues she became pregnant in June 2012, while she was having a relationship with Wilson. She is now eight months pregnant.
The Long Island resident was released Tuesday afternoon on $150,000 bond after an initial appearance.
Her attorney could not immediately be reached for comment.
An affidavit states that there are videotapes showing Gonzalez and the inmate spending several minutes alone together at various times. Other witnesses say they were seen "hugging and kissing."
Gonzalez could face a maximum sentence of 15 years if convicted of the charge.
In March 2007, Wilson was sentenced to death for killing the two undercover officers, James Nemorin and Rodney Andrews, on Staten Island during a gun sale. He was the first person in the city to receive the death sentence by a federal jury since 1954.
His sentence was overturned in 2010 on procedural grounds. A new jury must now determine whether Wilson receives a death sentence or life in prison.

I mentioned in an earlier post a conversation I had last night with a senior advisor to Gov. Brown. He made a strong case during our talk that this budget is the best we can do given political realities. He said that I, by suggesting otherwise, am ignoring hard political facts.
He may be right. And that, in a nutshell, is what is so dispiriting about this budget and this new administration.
Think of it. A new governor has been in office less than two weeks. He won the office by 13 points, in a landslide that saw his party win the legislature and every statewide office. His party stands for making investments in education and essential public services, even if it requires more in taxes. And in his second week in office, the budget he proposes -- the best he thinks he can do -- is a budget that cuts every significant public service -- and keeps education spending flat. Political reality -- and the system under which he governs -- doesn't allow him to do any better, he explains. It doesn't matter that a majority of public, including the people who voted for him, want more.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
What better example is there of how broken democracy is in California?
One of the few Sacramento-based reporters to focus on this dynamic -- John Myers of the Northern California NPR station KQED -- pressed Brown repeatedly on this point during the governor's budget press conference Monday. Brown kept saying that this budget was the best he could do, with a combination of taxes and cuts that were the most Californians could accept. And Myers kept asking him if Brown himself thought that the budget should look differently. Brown dodged this direct question, answering in effect that his job as governor is to give the people what they could handle -- not what he himself thinks is best.
Insert your own scream of frustration here.
Californians just elected a governor who, by all accounts, is a smart man with a lifetime of knowledge and experience of how California government works. He comes from the most important California political family of the past century, and his love of California is unquestioned. He has real credibility.
And if this is the very best he thinks we can do -- at a moment when his political standing and capital is high -- then his message -- unintended though it may be -- amounts to this: we're doomed.
This budget, and these circumstances, should provide all the evidence needed that a California governor, no matter how smart and experienced, can't really fix what ails us.
We the people are going to have to do the job ourselves.

One day some time ago, I came across a pin on Pinterest showing how a lady had done this. I repinned, but when I finally got ready to click through to her tutorial, the entire blog refused to come up! Maybe it'll be back someday? Anyway, I was inspired by a photo from An Owl's Nest. Here's how I made some dryer balls out of old wool sweaters, and used up a bunch of scraps!
1) Round up:
--Your scrappiest wool or cashmere scraps (mine were left over after I made a Valentine wreath*)
--A thick wool sweater or two--some holes are fine, doesn't matter if it's crappy-looking
--A nicer-looking wool sweater with some decent non-holey sections for the outside of the ball
--Embroidery floss in complimentary colors
--A needle and scissors, of course :-)
My tiniest scraps, excited to fulfill their destiny
Your sweaters should preferably be clean already, because you don't HAVE to wash and felt these after they are made. I've done both. It's optional. Also, for this project I would not compromise on sweater content. I used some cashmere for the scrappy core, and the rest 100% wool. I would recommend avoiding any percentage of polyester, nylon, acrylic, etc., just to be sure they work properly.
2) Go ahead and thread your needle so it's ready when you need it! Cut your crappy-looking, possibly holey sweater into long strips. Grab a handful of your scrappy-scraps and squish them into a ball, then begin tightly rolling as shown. Keep adding strips until your ball is the size you want. Mine ended up about softball-sized. Bigger balls are easier to find when mixed in with clothes in the dryer.
3) Once your ball is a good size, sew the end of the last strip tightly to the ball with embroidery floss.
But WAIT! Before you go on to the next step, there's another option you could choose. If you have a little wool roving and would like a more traditional dryer ball, you could apply your roving to the ball you already have. Just pop over to Crunchy Betty's felted wool dryer ball tutorial and pick up at step 2. It's a genius way to save on expensive roving while getting a dryer ball that looks about the same! But if you'd like to continue with sweaters only, go on to step 4.
4) Now you are going to sew a snug-fitting tube to serve as a case for the ball you just wound up. So, pull a piece of your nicer-looking wool sweater around the ball to measure where you need to sew, and sew right sides together with your embroidery floss. Be sure to make the tube an inch or two longer than it needs to be to fit around the ball, because we will be turning the edges under in the next step.
Mine happened to be a sleeve that was a bit large.
When you cut the excess off, be sure to leave enough that it doesn't unravel! Then throw that cut off piece into the scrap pile for your next ball!
Turn it right side out and try it on your ball to see if it fits. It should be tight.
5) Now that you have a well-fitting sleeve, grab one end and turn the edge down to the inside. We are going to sew a few big stitches around that edge to gather it up.
6) Pull it tight! Once you get the first knot tied, tie a couple more to be sure it doesn't come undone. Then you can snip the thread off.
7) Repeat steps 5-6 on the other end.
8) Explain to your ball-loving son that the ball is for the clothes dryer, not for him (if applicable). He took off with a couple of my first ones and crammed them into his sister's hot pink Barbie convertible. I'll make him some balls later. I have plenty of material!
9) Try them out! If you'd like the outside sweater to felt up a bit, you could wash it on hot and dry it a time or two. It might turn out even nicer if you tied it up in pantyhose first (not sure, because I didn't try that). You don't have to wash it, though. I was just as happy with the ones I threw straight into the dryer and began using immediately.
These I washed and dried. They are a little linty.
I haven't been using these long, but I have been able to significantly dial down the time my dryer runs. I even washed the kids' sheets today, which normally take extra dryer time, and they dried fast! I think there is also less static, but I'll need more time to say for sure. Sweater balls are a bit lumpier than traditional dryer balls and not quite as pretty, but since they spend most of their time in my dryer, it doesn't really matter. Also, if they ever start to come undone, they'll be super easy and cheap to fix! I'm pretty happy with how this little project turned out. Can't wait to see our next power bill.
*Here's the Valentine wreath. Made it with a coat hanger.
