While the U.S. grapples with reform of its domestic gun policies, advocates of arms control worldwide have been gearing up for the restart of negotiations this month on a comprehensive United Nations-sponsored treaty to regulate international trade in conventional weapons.
Last December, the U.N. General Assembly voted overwhelmingly in favor of resuming treaty talks after a drafting conference in July 2012 collapsed because the U.S., followed by several other arms-producing countries, requested more time.
Scheduled for mid-March, the U.N. diplomatic conference on the Arms Trade Treaty represents yet another round in a crucial fight over the massive supply of weapons flooding the world.
The treaty's many backers -- a broad-based coalition of human rights groups, religious and nongovernmental organizations, as well as many states -- say a legally binding international agreement is essential for reducing the human suffering caused by the multibillion-dollar global trade in illicit arms.
"There are more laws regulating international trade in bananas than conventional weapons," said Fr. Paul Lansu, a senior official at Pax Christi International, which strongly supports the treaty. While some regions and countries, the U.S. among them, impose fairly rigorous controls on their arms trade, in large areas of the world, guns flow freely.
According to a 2011 Oxfam report, as of 2010, only 47 percent of the 154 countries reporting to the U.N. on their arms management practices had basic controls on the export of small arms and light weapons, a subset of conventional weapons.
The gaps in regulation have created a "free-for-all market" that allows states, arms manufacturers and dealers to transfer weapons to regimes or "murky representatives of armed groups with little or no oversight and even less legal obligation not to have those sales contribute to human rights violations and massacres," said Adotei Akwei of Amnesty International USA.
2,000 killed daily
Nearly 2,000 people around the world die daily from armed violence and that tally only partially describes the havoc caused from unregulated guns, say arms control advocates. Illicit weapons trafficking fuels conflicts, poverty, child soldiering, gender-based violence, and a culture of impunity. It is not the only cause of these conditions, but an "incredible facilitator," Akwei noted.
As currently drafted, the Arms Trade Treaty represents an expansion in the U.N.'s efforts to minimize the hazards of the global arms trade. Previous initiatives focused on small arms. The new treaty would regulate seven categories of conventional weapons, including battle tanks and warships. It would obligate states to establish national controls for the trade and transfer of these weapons and to apply internationally agreed-upon assessments -- akin to a universal background check -- before authorizing arms exports.
The hope, Akwei says, is to get governments to be more accountable for the actions of their ministries of defense and to reduce the space in which the illicit arms trade operates. "This is not going to be the silver bullet," he added. "But right now there is nothing to cause a person to think twice about selling a weapon to militants in Uganda or the Democratic Republic of Congo. … Even if you could trace the weapons, chances are there would be nothing illegal about the transaction because there is no law about this."
Last summer, several hundred religious leaders from 46 countries, including three Catholic cardinals and dozens of bishops, signed an interfaith declaration in support of the treaty that was presented at the start of July 2-27 conference in New York. Many of the signatories were from the global South, where the devastating effects of the illicit arms trade are widely felt.
Speaking via video, South Sudanese Protestant Bishop Elias Taban told participants at the July conference that small arms and ammunitions posed more of a threat to his communities than nuclear weapons, which are subject to treaties. A former child soldier, Taban is now president of the Sudan Evangelical Alliance.
Taban told The Christian Post, a nondenominational newspaper based in Washington, D.C., that small arms enabled one tribe in 2011 to kill "300 people just in a day's attack. And this year, another tribe retaliated and killed 600 people in another attack. … Even in 40 years of life of war in Southern Sudan, I have never seen killing in a day like that."
Akwei and Taban are part of a global coalition of civil society groups pushing for a legally binding, humanitarian-focused treaty. Its main objective "must be to safeguard human life and to build a world more respectful of human dignity, not just to regulate the illicit arms trade," the Vatican wrote in a 2011 statement written for the U.N.'s third Preparatory Committee on the Arms Trade Treaty. An early endorser of the treaty, the Vatican has called for including victim assistance and compensation in the convention.
Complicating such aspirations are the United States' conflicted views on arms regulation. The world's largest arms supplier, providing more than 40 percent of the global arsenal, the U.S. has relatively robust requirements for its weapons export. Many treaty supporters say the treaty is nothing more than an attempt to bring the rest of the world up to this "gold standard."
The U.S., however, has typically resisted efforts at international regulation, regarding them as an infringement on U.S. gun ownership.
Reversing that position, the Obama administration embraced the treaty as an important national security tool in a world where, it believes, America's greatest threats increasingly come from nonstate actors armed with illegally obtained weapons.
But domestic opposition has been fierce and relentless. Although the treaty exclusively regulates the international arms trade, the National Rifle Association has described it as an intrusive attempt by the U.N. and "the global gun eradication movement" to eliminate "Second Amendment freedoms" for Americans.
The gun lobbying group, which has nongovernmental organization status in order to monitor disarmament efforts at the U.N., has repeatedly objected to including small arms and light weapons (what the NRA calls "civilian weapons") in the convention's scope. Additionally, they say the treaty's requirements for record-keeping will lead to a national registry of U.S. guns, which the NRA opposes, and impose cumbersome costs on U.S. businesses.
Speaking at the July conference, NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre warned that keeping of "civilian firearms ownership" in the treaty would meet "with the NRA's greatest force of opposition."
U.S. legislators also weighed in during the treaty talks. A letter from 130 U.S. lawmakers to President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, then secretary of state, detailed objections to a treaty that is "likely to pose significant threats to our national security, foreign policy, and economic interests as well as our constitutional rights."
The letter said the U.S. must not endorse a treaty that infringes on the individual right to self-defense, or hinders the United States' "strategic, legal and moral commitment" to provide arms to allies such as Taiwan or Israel, or subjects the U.S. to "the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court."
A more conciliatory missive from 52 U.S. senators recognized the need for regulating the global arms trade, but, like the House letter, called for excluding small arms and ammunition from the treaty's scope.
In November, 70 U.S. lawmakers endorsed an anti-Arms Trade Treaty resolution. The bill decreed Obama should not sign the treaty and that if he did, the Senate should not ratify it.
Reassurances and 'redlines'
Amid the criticisms, the U.S. State Department issued reassurances the treaty did not "handicap" Second Amendment rights and posted on its website a list of U.S. "redlines" for the negotiations. While the NRA credits itself with "killing" the July talks, treaty supporters attribute the U.S. withdrawal to Obama's reluctance to take on a hot-button issue during his re-election campaign. Indeed, the Obama administration has consistently supported resumption of the talks.
"We seek a treaty that fights illicit arms trafficking and proliferation, protects the sovereign right of states to conduct legitimate arms trade, and meets the concerns that we have articulated throughout," a U.S. official told Reuters in late December. "In particular, we will not accept any treaty that infringes on the constitutional rights of U.S. citizens to bear arms."
Eric Sapp, executive director of the American Values Network, calls the NRA's criticism of the treaty "a complete red herring." The treaty's charter "explicitly states it cannot violate the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution," he said, adding that much of what is in the July treaty is based on U.S. law and practice. "The treaty is bringing the rest of the world to where we are," he said.
The American Values Network is coordinating some of the faith-based efforts in support of the treaty. Sapp believes ratification is very much in the strategic interest of the U.S., whose greatest threats will come from destabilized states. Sapp says it is also morally right. "This is a treaty where thousands of lives are at stake and those stakes are way too high to let a partisan group determine outcome," he said.
As the March conference approaches, arms control campaigners are lobbying for a "bulletproof" treaty, one that covers ammunition as well as small arms. Both are essential for an effective treaty, they say. Small arms account for most civilian deaths in conflicts around the world, and it is ammunition that revitalizes arsenals of old weapons from past wars.
"Guns don't kill people. Bullets do," Sapp says.
Treaty supporters say they are cautiously optimistic about the March conference. Most U.N. states, including the U.S., want a treaty. The question, of course, is what kind. Major arms-producing states could render the convention meaningless with loopholes and provisions that are voluntary rather than mandatory. The consensus requirement on the negotiation means any U.N. member state can veto the treaty. Should that happen U.N. delegations can put it to a vote at the 193-nation General Assembly where it is likely to receive the required two-thirds majority.

Youth services renewal
In 2014-2015, the Department of Communities, Child Safety and Disability Services implemented a new results-based investment and service delivery approach that focuses on purchasing and providing three types of services:
- access services (information, advice and referral)
- support services (one-on-one specialised support and assistance)
- integrated response services (intensive, coordinated responses to complex needs).
QCOSS has developed a Youth Services Renewal Toolkit. This toolkit walks you through a series of strategic questions to help you understand what these reforms mean for your organisation, your service delivery models and the young people you work with.

Despite growing up in San Diego, top infield prospect Corey Oswalt still seemed a bit in awe when he visited the San Diego Padres' PETCO Park in early June.
"It just feels surreal. One day you know you want to get to a place like this, and this is the next step in getting there," Oswalt said. "It's just a great honor."
The honor of which Oswalt spoke is his inclusion on the West Team roster for the upcoming Perfect Game All-American Classic presented by Rawlings, which will be played at PETCO on Sunday, Aug. 14.
The first pitch for the ninth annual event (the first eight were known as the Aflac All-American Classic) is scheduled for 5 p.m. (PDT) and the all-star game for 46 of the nation's top prospects in the class of 2012 will be televised live on the CBS Sports Network. Proceeds will benefit the Rady Children's Hospital in San Diego.
Activities for the Perfect Game All-American Classic presented by Rawlings actually stretch over three days, Friday-Sunday, Aug. 12-14. Practices, scrimmages and the early rounds of the Home Run Derby will be held Friday and Saturday at the University of San Diego's Cunningham Stadium.
The East Team's 23-man roster consists of top prospects from eight states and Puerto Rico. The West Team's 23-man roster also includes players from eight states, but 12 are from California and most of them are from the southern part of the state, not far from PETCO Park. Oswalt, ranked the nation's No. 41 top prospect, is the only player from San Diego (James Madison High School).
Rio Ruiz, a third baseman/outfielder/right-handed pitcher, is ranked No. 9 in PG's national prospect rankings. He attends Bishop Amat High School in Covina, Calif., a small city that lies about 20 miles east of downtown Los Angeles.
Ruiz is looking forward to making the relatively short trip to San Diego.
"This game means a lot to me," he said. "I grew up watching this game, and I'm really excited to get this opportunity to come and play in this park. It's a once in a lifetime deal and I'm just really looking forward to it."
Ruiz was also thrilled by given the opportunity to play at PETCO Park.
"It's amazing. Not many kids you see in this country get to play in these types of stadiums and I'm one of the kids that get that chance," he said. "It's a great opportunity for me and all these other kids over here, so we just have to take advantage of it and enjoy it."
Tanner Rahier, the nation's No. 16-ranked prospect, will start his senior year at Palm Desert (Calif.) High School in the fall. A shortstop and right-hander, Rahier is also looking forward to stepping on the PETCO field in front of the large contingent of scouts certain to be on hand.
"I'm honored to be able to be out here and do this. This is a huge opportunity," he said. "I'm really privileged to be picked to do something like this. I know a lot of kids would love to; this is an amazing opportunity."
A record 18 former All-American Classic participants were first round or first round compensation selections in this year's MLB draft. Thirteen of the 18 played in last year's game – No. 1 overall pick Gerrit Cole played in 2007 Classic.
Cole was drafted out of UCLA, a school at least five members of this year's West Team – Max Fried, Lucas Giolito, Cody Poteet, Daniel Robertson and Hunter Virant – have verbally committed to.
CJ Saylor, a highly ranked (No. 39) catching prospect who attends South Hills High School in West Covina, Calif., is a San Diego State commit. Like his fellow southern Californians on the West roster, Saylor is looking forward to capping a busy summer at the Perfect Game All-American Classic presented by Rawlings.
"I'm very excited. Ever since I knew about this game when I was about 10 or 11 years old, I always wanted to play in it," he said. "I worked hard and finally got selected to it, so I couldn't be any happier."
And there's whole deal about playing at PETCO.
"This is a brand new stadium and it's gorgeous. I can't wait to play in it," Saylor said.
PG National Games
The second annual Perfect Game National Games will be held Aug. 11-12 at Cunningham Stadium on the University of San Diego campus.
This year's two-day event, formerly known as Perfect Game at Aflac, showcases many of the top prospects in the high school class of 2013, as well as some of the very best from the class of 2014.
It is held in conjunction with the Perfect Game All-American Classic presented by Rawlings, the prestigious all-star game for the top 2012 prospects that will be played Sunday, Aug. 14.
The prospects participating in the PG National Games will be split up by region and placed on four teams, and each team will play two games. The two winners from the first day of play on Aug. 11 will meet in a championship game on the 12th, and the two first-day losers will meet in a consolation game on the second day.
The games on the second day will be played after the two PG All-American Classic teams conduct a scrimmage.

Dextromethorphan (DXM or DM) is an active ingredient in several over-the-counter cough medicines, including generic labels and store brands (TheraFlu, Delsym, Coricidin, Vicks, Dimetapp, Robitussin, Benylin, NyQuil).
Dextromethorphan's primary use is as a cough suppressant, relieving coughs associated with the flu and the common cold, including minor throat and bronchial irritations.
Dextromethorphan, when combined with quinidine, has also been shown to ease symptoms of easy laughing and crying in patients with multiple sclerosis and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
Dextromethorphan is also used as a recreational drug, taken in higher than prescribed doses to cause hallucinations, distorted perceptions, and excitement.
Dextromethorphan was developed as a non-addictive substitute for codeine by the U.S. Navy and the CIA, and was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for over-the-counter use in 1958.
It is sold in tablets, capsules, syrup, solutions, suspensions, spray, and lozenges.
A 2008 study found that one in 10 American teenagers has abused products containing DXM in order to get high, making it more popular than cocaine, ecstasy, crystal meth, and LSD.
Parents should check bottles. Abusers may take high doses, 10 to 50 times the suggested amounts, to cause hallucinations and similar effects.
Pharmacies and drug stores have taken steps to increase security surrounding the sale of products containing DXM.
Dextromethorphan is not effective in treating a cough caused by asthma, smoking, or emphysema. It should not be given to a child under 4 years old.
Dextromethorphan can trigger a histamine release, causing allergic reactions in children, and should be avoided by those with serious allergies.
In March 2011, the FDA issued a safety alert concerning this drug in combination with other drugs, because of potential risks and the possibility of improper use in young children and infants. There are safe alternatives that your pharmacist or doctor can recommend.
If you have phenylketonuria (PKU), you will want to avoid dextromethorphan, which may contain phenylalanine.
Talk with your doctor if you have used an MAO inhibitor within the past 14 days, and tell your doctor if you have any of the following health conditions:
Pregnant women should avoid dextromethorphan, and the drug can pass into breast milk, so it could be harmful to a nursing baby.
Less serious side effects of dextromethorphan include:
More serious side effects of dextromethorphan may demand immediate emergency medical attention and include:
It is not recommended to use dextromethorphan with the following drugs:
Avoid grapefruit juice and eating grapefruit when taking dextromethorphan, as they can increase the amount of dextromethorphan in your system.
Cough medicine should be taken for a short time until symptoms clear. Measure with a dose-measuring spoon from your pharmacist, instead of a regular household spoon. Allow lozenges to dissolve in your mouth.
Dextromethorphan is available in extended-release capsules, syrup, solution, lozenge, elixir, tablet, and liquids.
Call 911, or poison control at 1-800-222-1222 if you take too much dextromethorphan. Symptoms of an overdose could include:
Dextromethorphan is usually taken on an as-needed basis. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible, or just wait until your next dose. Do not take extra medicine to make up for a missed dose.

|Vietnamese lithophones.

Today, this word is used to denote a type of musical instrument made of stones. Lithophones have been discovered in different parts of the world, including Vietnam. Researchers have said that lithophones were played between 4,000 and 10,000 years ago.
Generally speaking, a lithophone consists of several stone slabs of varying sizes. As these stones are struck, different tones are produced. Therefore, a lithophone may be considered to be a percussion instrument, and it has often been compared to a xylophone.

- The Music of the Maya: Mysterious whistles Confound Experts
- The Mystical Pentatonic Scale and Ancient Instruments, Part I: Bone Flutes
In Vietnam, lithophones are also known as Dan Da, which translates as 'stone instrument'. The first lithophone is reported to have been discovered in 1949. In February of that year, a set of 11 large stone slabs, standing close together in a vertical position, were unearthed by a group of road-builders in Ndut Lieng Krak, in the province of Dak Lak, in the Central Highlands of Vietnam. As these stones were thought to have some historical significance, a French ethnologist by the name of Georges Condiminas was contacted.
It was observed that the slabs, 10 of which were intact, were of varying sizes, and had been chiselled. This suggested that they had served a particular function. Subsequently, Condiminas requested permission from the Mnong people, with whom he was living at that time, to have the stone slabs brought back to Paris to be further studied by experts. This request was granted, and the stones were transported to the Musée de l'Homme in Paris to be examined.
Establishing the Musical Function of the Stone Slabs
It was during these examinations that the aural function of the stones was established. According to one source, this discovery was made by Condiminas himself, when he accidentally struck one of the stones, and realized that it made a sound. According to another source, it was André Schaeffner, a musicologist, who speculated that the stones were used to make music. Schaeffner noticed that there were tool markings on the slabs, which was taken to be an indication that they were tuned. In addition, the musicologist also recognised that the stones produced different notes when struck, thereby allowing him to arrange them according to pitch.
Similar discoveries were made in the following decades. For example, the biggest known set of lithophones so far was discovered in 2003. In that year, 20 slabs were unearthed by a farmer in the province of Lam Dong, also in Vietnam's Central Highlands. Such supposedly tuned stone slabs have been unearthed on a regular basis. Whilst it is often claimed that these are lithophones, not all of these claims have been substantiated. Nevertheless, as of today, over 200 lithophones have been verified as genuine by experts.

I have to confess to making a rather bad mistake this afternoon, and it's a little embarrassing.
I swapped the hard drive in my rtorrent slave, taking out a rather noisy 20Gb drive and replacing it with the 40Gb 5400rpm Samsung drive that has, until recently, been the guinea pig for my ancient 100Mhz laptop. I intended to reinstall Arch on the system, then flip-flopped and started to install Crux, and then finally just grabbed the Ubuntu 8.10 disc and spun it up.
And since the lower half of the screen is obscured, I went ahead and installed the full system without switching to a command-line install. I couldn't see the options to pick, so I just hit return to get the thing started. And so I began a three-hour installation of Ubuntu Gnome.
On a 750Mhz machine.
With only 128Mb.
So anyway, you can see where this is going. When I finally booted into the fresh system I realized in full how awful a mistake I had made. It can't even show the Applications menu without paging out to swap, caching all the menu icons. Just downloading and installing updates to Intrepid was taking something like an hour.
So anyway, I'm back to installing something a little more sane for that machine. Reminder to self: Think. It doesn't take much effort, and I save myself hours in the process. 😯

Very few beer brands survive today that have modern examples to put into a worthwhile four-decade vertical tasting. That's simply because forty years ago there were hardly any beers being brewed that had the longevity to be still drinkable when even the most junior brewer involved in their production is now at or approaching retirement age.
It wasn't looking good for Courage Imperial Russian Stout, which was one of less than a handful of strong beers capable of great age being brewed in the 1970s and which stopped being made in the early 1990s despite a history going back more than two centuries.
But Courage IRS, doubtless in considerable part because Michael Jackson's World Guide to Beer in 1977 featured it across two pages, has inspired a huge number of imitators in the US and created an extremely popular beer style in the process.
When the Bedford brewer Wells & Youngs acquired the rights to the Courage beer brands from Scottish & Newcastle in 2007, the first two beers from the old Courage stable Wells produced were the Best Bitter and Directors Bitter. But I am sure it quickly occurred to the company's marketers that here was a chance to bring back a truly iconic beer, which would surely have an instant appeal in the US as the ur-IRS, the Imperial Russian Stout in honour of which all others are named.
Thus in May last year the Bedford brewery produced the first new brew of Courage Imperial Russian Stout for 18 years, two bottles of which they've been kind enough to send to me, to my great delight, as I love a good IRS. And because I'm the sort of sad nerd who stuffs bottles of beers away for decades, I was able to pull out examples of Courage IRS from 1975, 1985 and 1992 to compare against the latest version.

Wake Forest coach stops taking live questions during radio show after callers lectured him
In his first year as head coach at Wake Forest, Jeff Bzdelik oversaw a team that had the most losses in ACC history, became the first school to ever lose 15 conference games and finished with an RPI more than 100 spots lower than the previous ACC low-water mark. Considering how the rest of the Bzdelik era has gone, you can forgive Demon Deacon fans for referring to that season as "the good ol' days."
Things have only gotten worse. Bzdelik has five ACC wins in two seasons as head coach. Eight players have transferred from the program. This season, the Deacs are 4-5 with losses to Iona and Richmond. In an ACC/Big 10 Challenge game that was relegated to ESPNU, Wake suffered a 16-point home beat down at the hands of lowly Nebraska. At a recent home game, students from nearby High Point appeared to outnumber the Wake student section.
After that loss to Nebraska, which came on a Tuesday night, Bzdelik defended his players.
"I'm not going to make any excuses," Bzdelik said, indicating that an excuse was imminent. "Tuesday is their toughest day academically."
The fanbase is getting restless and the coach is getting defensive. After an awkward call-in session during last week's radio show, it was announced that Bzdelik will no longer be accepting live questions during his weekly radio program.
Dan Collins reports in the Winston-Salem Journal:
"Starting tonight, for the first time in the 17 years Stan Cotten has served as host of the Deacons' radio show for coaches, questions must be recorded or submitted through electronic messaging. [...]
[The] format of taking direct questions was changed after a particularly contentious show last Thursday, when several callers were especially pointed in their criticism or long-winded, or both."
If recent attendance for Wake Forest home games is any indication of the audience for Bzdelik's show, tens of listeners will be disappointed by the news.
Collins says the decision was made by Cotten and others at IMG College, not Bzdelik.
While the call censorship has given rise to complaints of arrogance and cowardice from Wake fans, I'm more amazed that Bzdelik has been taking calls for this long. It speaks well of the fanbase that the contentious show didn't come in the middle of the first or second disastrous season, but in the third. That's patience.
How long do you think Billy Gillispie would have been taking calls at Kentucky? Four minutes into his first show? Collins says Roy Williams doesn't accept calls on his UNC radio show and he has two national championships!

1 1/2 lb fresh (whole) cranberries
3 cloves garlic, quartered
3/4 cup dark brown sugar
2/3 cup apple cider vinegar
2/3 cup fresh minneola (orange) juice
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon Ancho chile powder
1/2 teaspoon ground dried orange peel
1 teaspoon ground roasted ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/4 teaspoon cloves
1/4 teaspoon Saigon cinnamon
Prep your jars/lids. Place all ingredients in a heavy-bottomed nonreactive pot. Bring to a rolling boil and cook until most (if not all) the cranberries have burst and the mixture has thickened, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat. Use an immersion blender or ladle in a regular blender to pulse until smooth. Return to a rolling boil and cook until thickened to ketchup consistency if necessary. Ladle into pint jars leaving 1/4 inch headroom. Process in a hot water bath for 10 minutes.
Note: if you don't want to can this (the total yield is about 3 cups of ketchup) you can refrigerate it in an air-tight container up to one month.
Yield: about 3 8-oz jars (I used wide-mouth half pints)
Note: A great source for canning information is the Blue Book guide to preserving. I highly recommend it for learning how to can. Here are some of my other favorite canning books and supplies.

Light painting is one of those magical photography techniques that never gets old. Batman logos! Fancy effects! And even... dresses? Mmhmm. Atton Conrad, an advertising and art photographer, used light painting to dress his beautiful models to make them look even more gorgeous.
It's lovely. The models are only wearing light! And it's super fashionable light, at that. To pull it off, Conrad uses a remote trigger to snap the shot while he exquisitely paints around the model in his studio to create a glowing dress effect. I gotta say, this is a fashion trend I wouldn't mind the rest of the beautiful world participating in.
Check out more light wearing models here. [Atton Conrad via Inspiration Grid via PetaPixel]

The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), is the largest stock exchange in the world. NYSE wants to move away from proprietary platforms, so they selected HP hardware with Linux.
NYSE is investing heavily in x86-based Linux systems and blade servers as it builds out the NYSE Hybrid Market trading system that it launched last year. Flexibility and lower cost are among the goals. But one of the things that NYSE Euronext CIO Steve Rubinow says he most wants from the new computing architecture is technology independence. The NYSE has installed about 200 of HP's ProLiant DL585 four-processor servers and 400 of its ProLiant BL685c blades, all running Linux and based on dual-core Opteron processors from Advanced Micro Devices Inc.

It's the dog days of summer here in Sacramento, the two weeks in August where our temperatures rise above 100 day after day and the tomatoes drown the garden. By the time you get this we will have a break in the weather; then the long low lines of sunshine signaling Fall, will touch us all.
This has been a terribly exciting period for the IPPF and pemphigus/pemphigoid support. We've made great progress getting some national PR about P/P and the IPPF. Many people from the Email Discussion Group responded to my call and contributed very powerful testimonials about the gifts that other P/P patients (and caregivers) have contributed to their healing process, and the work the IPPF has done in putting this peer support system in place. {quotes align=right}We've used these powerful stories to generate support in the media, with corporate donors, and with medical professionals.{/quotes}
In addition, Rebecca, PV in New York, was on the Richard Cohen radio show about people dealing with chronic disease. Hear Rebecca's interview at our web site (www.pemphigus.org/makeadifference). Rebecca has also made contact with the writers of the TV show House and Janet to ABC's Medical Mysteries. We're looking for powerful misdiagnosis/frustrating-doctor experiences, to send in as proposals for story lines on these popular national TV shows.
I have received over 100 requests from people asking to participate in fundraising projects, such as the, Are You Smarter Then a Six Grader fundraiser put on by Hickory Middle School's Freedom Hawks. They raised $424 and sent it to the IPPF. We need volunteers to make calls or visits to doctors offices, bring them information about P/P diagnoses, support materials to give to patients, and offering free subscriptions of our newsletter so doctors may become more informed, to help them diagnose patients in the future.
Janet has enrolled over 50 people in the Health Management Program. We're on our way to having enough people participating to explore possible trends and gather information for future clinical trials. In addition, the Health Management Program is also meant as a resource for all of you — to provide support and advice while you navigate this road. Please feel free to call Janet with questions and concerns whether it's time for you to update your survey or not.
We are also beginning the process of partnering with the suppliers of products that our patients have found to be helpful. Most recently, we have partnered with MedicAlert jewelry company. They will provide a discount for medic ID bracelets to IPPF members as well as make a donation to the IPPF.
Most of this progress has been fostered by you sharing your ideas with me about what could be helpful to you. Your generous support of time and energy that many of you have given to actually make these things happen. Thank you so much, and have a wonderful Fall.

Beer of the Week: Honey Basil Beer
I'm generally wary of herb infused beer and I've always thought honey was best left to peanut butter and banana sandwiches so when a bottle of Bison's Honey Basil Beer landed on my desk I raised my nose high in contempt.
But because I never turn down a free beer, I decided to have a taste and to my surprise, the 100 percent organic brew from Berkeley, CA, was delicious. The initial sweetness of the honey balanced perfectly with the lingering and complimentary spiciness of the basil and Cascade hops. Yet, unlike most other herbed brews I've tried, this one still maintained that distinct, thirst quenching, worry erasing, Friday-afternoon-satisfying beer flavor. Neither the honey nor the basil overpowered the malty backbone of beer.
Bottom line, it's a darn good beer. I could drink it for any number of occasions but the basil notes kept reminding me of Italian food. I'd love to pair this beer with a nice pasta dinner. Plus Bison's Honey Basil Beer is organic which, in addition to the alcohol, makes me feel all warm and bubbly inside.

| 8.5°C Belfast
Philomena Lee has revealed her excitement for the Academy Awards.
The real-life inspiration behind Stephen Frears' Oscar-nominated drama Philomena, who's portrayed by Dame Judi Dench on screen, will walk up the red carpet in Hollywood on Sunday (March 2) alongside Hollywood stars such as Cate Blanchett, Matthew McConaughey and Christian Bale.
"I'm looking forward to it, but so excited. Never in my life did I think I would end up at the Oscars," she said at the Oscar Wilde: Honouring The Irish In Film party in Los Angeles.
"We can't believe how it's taken off and how I've been thrown into the middle of the world. It's fantastic and I'm enjoying it. (I'd like to meet) Tom Hanks. Everybody else I've met really," she added.
The film, adapted from Martin Sixsmith's book by Steve Coogan and Jeff Pope, is up for four Oscars including best picture, best adapted screenplay and best actress for Judi. It won best adapted screenplay at the Baftas.
"Fingers crossed. Everything crossed, and praying they will win something," said Philomena. "I was so excited for them at the Baftas. They did a wonderful job, transferring it from the book to the film."
Irish band The Strypes and Irish footballer Robbie Keane also attended the bash, where comic actor Joel McHale presented Conan O'Brien with the Oscar Wilde award.
"Conan asked me to do it after a number of people turned him down, so I thought I'm not busy tonight and I like making fun of him," he joked, before adding: "It was an honour. It means a lot to me. To introduce someone I had grown up with, I thought, 'This is great. I get to roast him in front of Irish people'."
The event, now in its ninth year, was hosted by the US-Ireland Alliance.

Tigers Seeking .500 Record During Season-Opening Road Trip
PHILADELPHIA Pa. – The Towson men's basketball team will conclude its 10-game road swing on Wednesday as the Tigers travel to the Liacouras Center to take on the Temple Owls.
The game is set to tip at 7 p.m.
The Tigers (4-5) are coming off two of their best efforts of the season last week as they defeated defending America East champions Vermont (68-64) on Wednesday before narrowly falling at No. 15 Georgetown (46-40) on Saturday.
Junior forward Jerrelle Benimon was named the Colonial Athletic Association Co-Player of the Week yesterday after averaging 20.0 points and 13.0 rebounds in those contests. Benimon has registered a double-double in five of his last seven games.
Freshman guard Jerome Hairston (9.8 ppg) is second on the team in scoring and tops the team in assists (23) and steals (19). Junior guard Mike Burwell (9.2 ppg), junior forward Marcus Damas (8.3 ppg) and graduate student Bilal Dixon (7.1 ppg, 6.8 rpg) round out the Tiger starters.
Temple (6-1) is coming off its first loss of the season, a 90-67 setback against No. 2 Duke.
The Owls, under the direction of seventh-year head coach Fran Dunphy, are led be the play of senior guards Scootie Randall (15.1 pgg) and Khalif Wyatt. Besides topping the team in scoring, Randall also leads Temple in rebounding (7.1 rpg.), three-pointers (15) and minutes played (35.7 mpg). Wyatt (13.9 ppg) paces the Owls and ranks sixth in the Atlantic 10 Conference in assists, averaging 4.6 per game.
Temple has won both all-time meetings against Towson, with the squad's last meeting on Dec. 6, 2007 in Philadelphia.

Efforts to legalize same-sex marriage in Pennsylvania and New Jersey help illustrate similar situations happening across the country in the months since the U.S. Supreme Court struck down parts of a federal law that restricted the rights of gay couples. A sampling of efforts in key states:
A special session of the Legislature to consider legalizing same-sex marriage is scheduled to begin Oct. 28. State Attorney General David Louie issued a legal opinion this week saying lawmakers may legalize gay marriages without amending the state constitution.
A bill to legalize gay marriage, supported by Gov. Pat Quinn, is in limbo after the state House failed to vote on it before the legislative session ended in May. A six-day fall session starts Tuesday, but it's unclear whether the bill will come up.
A federal judge is considering a challenge to a 2004 constitutional amendment that recognizes marriage as being only between a man and a woman. U.S. District Judge Bernard Friedman says he won't rule until he hears expert testimony Feb. 25.
Lawmakers this year gave an initial round of approval to the proposed repeal of a 2002 change in the state constitution that defined marriage as being between a man and a woman. It requires a second legislative vote in two years. If it is approved again, voters will decide in 2016 whether to recognize marriages regardless of gender.
Gay marriage was pushed to the front burner in August when Dona Ana County Clerk Lynn Ellins began issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples, and at least seven other county clerks have followed suit. State law does not explicitly authorize or prohibit gay marriage, and the state's 33 counties and county clerks have asked the five-justice New Mexico Supreme Court to clarify their responsibilities. A hearing is scheduled for Wednesday.
A federal judge has ordered Ohio to recognize the marriages of two gay couples who sued to get their out-of-state marriages recognized on their spouses' Ohio death certificates. The ruling was issued despite the state's ban on gay marriage.
State officials declared this week that Oregon will recognize same-sex marriages of couples who tied the knot in another state or country. Oregon voters changed the state constitution in 2004 to define marriage as being between a man and a woman, but an initiative to overturn that ban is a virtual lock on the 2014 ballot
