- Noncompliance (Patient/Family/Teaching)
- PO Administer once daily with food.
Patient/Family Teaching
- Explain purpose of cobicistat/darunavir ( Prezcobix ) to patient; must be taken with other antiretroviral medications. Instruct patient to take Prezcobix as directed with food. Take missed doses as soon as remembered if within 12 hr; if more than 12 hr, skip dose and take next dose as scheduled; do not double doses. Do not stop taking Prezcobix without consulting health care professional. Advise patient to read Patient Information prior to starting therapy and with each Rx refill in case of change.
- Instruct patient that Prezcobix should not be shared with others.
- Instruct patient to notify health care professional of all Rx or OTC medications, vitamins, or herbal products being taken and consult health care professional before taking any new medications, especially St. John's Wort.
- Inform patient that Prezcobix does not cure AIDS or prevent associated or opportunistic infections. Darunavir does not reduce the risk of transmission of HIV to others through sexual contact or blood contamination. Caution patient to use a condom during sexual contact and to avoid sharing needles or donating blood to prevent spreading the AIDS virus to others. Advise patient that the long-term effects of Prezcobix are unknown at this time.
- Inform patient that Prezcobix may cause hyperglycemia, hepatotoxicity, and severe skin reactions. Advise patient to notify health care professional promptly if signs of hyperglycemia (increased thirst or hunger; unexplained weight loss; increased urination; fatigue; or dry, itchy skin), immune reconstitution syndrome (signs and symptoms of inflammation from previous infections [Mycobacterium avium infection, cytomegalovirus, Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia [PCP, or tuberculosis]), hepatotoxicity (unexplained fatigue, anorexia, nausea, jaundice, abdominal pain, or dark urine), or rash occur.
- Inform patient that redistribution and accumulation of body fat may occur, causing central obesity, dorsocervical fat enlargement (buffalo hump), peripheral wasting, breast enlargement, and cushingoid appearance. The cause and long-term effects are not known.
- Rep: Instruct females using hormonal contraceptives to use an alternative nonhormonal method of contraception. Advise patient to notify health care professional if pregnancy is planned or suspected and to avoid breastfeeding. If pregnant patient is exposed to Prezcobix , register patient in Antiretroviral Pregnancy Registry by calling 1-800-258-4263.
- Emphasize the importance of regular follow-up exams and blood counts to determine progress and monitor for side effects.
Evaluation/Desired Outcomes
- Delayed progression of AIDS and decreased opportunistic infections in patients with HIV.

New England's "Other" Capes
For secret beaches and amazing summer deals, look beyond the better-known Cape to the glorious spits of land jutting out into the Atlantic just up the coast.
"There's no mini-golf here, that's for sure," says Tony Sapienza, making the inevitable comparison between rugged Cape Ann—where he owns a beachside inn—and its better-known cousin, Cape Cod. He notes that Gloucester, Mass., a tight-knit fishing community on Cape Ann just 45 minutes north of Boston, still has rusting fishing boats in its harbor. "And people like it that way," he says.
If you're looking for authentic New England without the throngs, Gloucester is a good place to start. The oldest fishing port in the U.S., it's a sea-sprayed, weather-beaten place where you can still watch wader-wearing tuna fishermen pull their boats up to Cape Pond Ice's storage shed. Getting a glimpse of that kind of realness is exactly what visitors to these parts crave.
It's certainly what I was looking for in my quest to discover New England's "other" capes jutting out from the coast between Boston and Portland, Maine.
I found expansive beaches with frothy seas, wonderfully old-fashioned Main Streets, historic lighthouses on stunningly scenic promontories, and some of the freshest locally sourced meals around. It just goes to show that while these other capes may be less glorified, they are no less glorious.
Boston to Cape Ann
40 miles
Cape Ann, as people here like to tell you, is a locals' haven that just happens to welcome a fair share of tourists. On a summer day you're likely to find many of them at Gloucester's Good Harbor Beach. "People are very into their community here," says Geraldine Benjamin, a teacher from Sturbridge, Mass., who spends weekends and summers in Gloucester. "I love the local art and the fishing." She watches as her daughter and granddaughter frolic on this wide stretch of fine, white sand edged by dunes and a gurgling creek leading into a frothy pocket of the Atlantic. At low tide, the ocean delivers a swirl of crystalline tide pools just made for budding marine biologists to explore.
I treasure a perfect view of the beach from my room directly across the street at the Blue Shutters Beachside Inn (1 Nautilus Rd, Gloucester, Mass., blueshuttersbeachside.com, rooms from $125), owned by Sapienza, his wife Patty, and their friends AnneMarie and Ed Comer. In the cool of the evening I cozy up with hot tea and cookies, sitting in front of a fire in the inn's living room—a homey space with wood floors, damask sofas, embroidered pillows, and massive picture windows looking out at Good Harbor. A sign over the fireplace reminds me to Dream, a nod to the owners' leap into their new lives as innkeepers. Like many visitors, they were drawn to Cape Ann partly by Rocky Neck, a nearby artists' colony where you can soak up the sumptuous light that has drawn artists including Milton Avery, Edward Hopper, and Winslow Homer. Today, a diverse crew lives and works here, welcoming the curious into their studios. In fact, the art scene is so buzzy that when I ask local artist and gallery owner Gordon Goetemann to tell me about Rocky Neck's heyday, he says—now! "I arrived here as an apprentice," he recalls. "That was 1954. The season used to end when the pipes started to freeze, but now some residents are here 12 months out of the year."
Before heading up the coast, I stop in downtown Gloucester for a fat eggplant sub, stuffed with roasted peppers and fresh mozzarella, at Virgilio's Bakery & Deli (29 Main St., Gloucester, Mass., 978/283-5295, sub sandwich $6), and then visit the town's most famous landmark: the Fishermen's Memorial Statue, a 1925 bronze of a fisherman at the wheel, in honor of Gloucester natives—like those in the 1991 "perfect storm"—who've died at sea. The memorial, overlooking the sweeping outer harbor, makes a peaceful, poignant final stop.
Cape Ann to Cape Neddick
67 miles
Heading north from Cape Ann on Route 1A, a swath of coastal wetlands puts the ocean out of view for a while. I cruise past antiques shops, horse farms, and young boys in cutoffs jumping into narrow waterways. Arriving at Salisbury Beach is a shock after peaceful Cape Ann. It's a pure honky-tonk beach scene, but in such a nostalgic, living-museum way that it's worth a stop. Clutches of kids feast on cotton candy and soft-serve cones and boardwalk signs announce Happy's Fried Dough and Corn Dogs.
New Hampshire's 18-mile coastline is next, and it's short but sweet. Stop at the 135-acre Odiorne Point State Park (Route 1A, Rye, N.H., nhstateparks.org), where you can hike or bike along wooded trails, explore rocky tidepools, and drop in at the Seacoast Science Center. Here, inquisitive kids can climb into fishing-boat exhibits and stand under a complete whale skeleton. Before crossing into Maine, grab a bite in Portsmouth, which is brimming with good food, like The Flatbread Company's signature pizza—you can watch it baking in a wood-fire oven (138 Congress St., Portsmouth, N.H., flatbread company.com, pizza from $8.75).

Gasoline questions ...
Gasoline questions ...
We certainly won't get rid of refineries. Refineries can adjust the mix to suit conditions--they are pretty sophisticated at doing this. However, I doubt there will ever come a time when no gasoline is necessary--it just won't be used for most cars. Even if cars used zero gas and diesel, there is still home heating oil and oceanic transport. And unless the roads get electrified, large trucks won't ever be electric because every kg of weight used in a battery is a kg of weight that won't get charged for. Local delivery, like FedEx, can use electric because they never hit GVW, but almost all highway trucks are right at the GVW limit. Remember that the GVW limit is determined by the highways department (so they can't just build bigger trucks).
Fed ex and others are swiitching to natal gas for long haul and electric for local. Only the us government is determined to stay with gasoline.
Natural gas seems to me to be a very short term solution similar to coal. Particularly once all the pollution from fracking starts showing up in the drinking water supplies.
Yup, through thousands of feet of de facto proven impermeable rock, or leaking out of proven sealed piping, etc. Bollocks. A witless scare tactic used by those attempting to suppress the most potent driver of economic recovery the country and planet has at the moment.
The motives of those of you who push it are not hard to guess.
Yup, just like MTBE. Is this an experiment we really want to run? Especially when nuclear power has been proven to be cheap and safe.
When you refine oil, the gasoline part of the distillate does not have to remain as gasoline. For example, we get most of our ethylene (which is mainly used for making our polyethylene plastics) by cracking (heating until the molecules break apart) light oils.
The net is that the gasoline can be used for many other products rather than just burned in an ICE.
nuclear power provides electricity; Frack Gas provides that, plus feedstocks, plus fuels, at a small fraction of the capital cost of nuclear, much faster. The hurdles successfully placed in front of it by environmentalists mean a long delay before even beginning construction, which itself (short of small 'prefab' designs being approved, etc.) takes more years. NG power plants are so much quicker and simpler and cheaper that there will now be no money for nuke or renewables (they'd have to be built anyway, usually, for stand-by backup of renewables, so the renewables power is pure extra expense, usually about 5X as much).
Your Model S will be running on NG electricity far into the future.
It will be a long time before all the gas powered cars are put out to pasture, so gasoline will still be sold/produced for quite some time
for both cars and trucks. I think the percentage of oil used for gasoline nowadays is something around 50%. Plastics, asphalt, lubricants, fuel oil, jet fuel etc. etc account for the rest. But the prices obviously will collapse when demand drops over 20% - producers will become desperate and refuse to cut production.
We are living in a petroleum age. We wear it, sit on it, burn it, and even eat it. It (or more accurately its by products) is in everything from drugs and food to plastic and rubber.
And of course, we still need petroleum fuel for lots of things from aircraft and watercraft to machinery and farming.
If profitability ever became an issue I am sure it will get government subsidized like corn.
@BYT: So says Alternative Timeline Al Gore:
"Right now in the second week of May 2006, we are facing perhaps the worst gas crisis in history. We have way too much gasoline! Gas is down to nineteen cents a gallon and the oil companies are hurting. I know that I am partly to blame, by insisting that cars run on trash.
I am therefore proposing a Federal bail-out to our oil companies because hey, if it were the other way around, you know the oil companies would help us."
A good government would do what's right. We are not in a good government so they will do what those that fund their campaigns says is right instead.
Kind of begs the question.
A good guide to what's "right" (true) is that what works better is truer/righter.

While on a recent cemetery outing in Harlington Cemetery (Waverly, Iowa) I noticed several stones that were in remarkably good shape for their age. Actually, they were in remarkably good shape for any age! My husband, upon touching one of them, realized this was a metal "stone," with a soft matte finish that mimicked the real thing. In the short time we were in the cemetery, we found three examples, all stamped inconspicuously with "Western White Bronze Company" of Des Moines, Iowa.
A family historian could only hope to find a 120 year old stone in such wonderful, clearly readable condition. The stone at right, belonging to members of the Jenkins and Calkins family, marks burials from 1887-1890.
According to an article written by Mark Culver, these "White Bronze" tombstones are not bronze at all, but zinc, which is resistant to rust. The process of producing these "stones", Culver says, was perfected in 1873. The metal pieces were produced and then fused together with hot zinc. The Monumental Bronze Company produced these stones until 1914, and during World War I, the government commandeered the plant for munitions. The production of grave markers stopped in 1939.
The Western White Bronze Company of Des Moines was a subsidiary of the Monumental Bronze Company, where finishing work was done after casting in Bridgeport, Connecticut. This plant closed in 1909.
Culver states that the prices of these grave markers ranged from under $10 to upwards of $5,000.
None of the stones we saw showed signs of damage, despite their age. The price seems right. The looks is crisp and clean. They don't rust. They apparently don't age. Vandals cannot break pieces from them. So why did demand for the White Bronze stones cease?
The problem, says Culver, is that people never really warmed up to metal markers, and some cemeteries went so far as to ban them. Many people probably did not believe the claims of the salesmen, which, decades down the road, have proven true after all. Would they fare well in today's market? I'll bet they would.

About me[edit]
For some unknown reason was unable to log into the discussion forum to properly introduce myself (perhaps someone up there is screwing with me... JK), so I will leave short introduction on here.
I am an atheist. I was "born again" at age seven, but discarded by faith around age 18. I came to the conclusion that christianity was false and convinced that religion is harmful. I am pro-science and a secularist. I am also a Jesus Mythicist, I am a history major and have looked for four to five years for evidence for Jesus but have not found anything. I have been very open about my atheism and speak out whenever I can, either on the internet or in public. I have been a long time fan of the Atheist Experience, and I deeply appreciate their work. I wish I had a similar job as they do, nothing would make me happier to help the rational cause.
I found this site through watching the Atheist Experience and I have loved it since. I am experienced on RationalWiki, I have created a few articles there contributing to reason and rational thought. I look forward to being a big help here on Iron Chariots as much as I can.
My Work[edit]
On Iron Chariots, as well as RationalWiki, I have developed a reputation as being a bookworm. I seem to have been building a reputation as the guy who reviews tons of books. That is fine with me, as a history major I spend a great deal of time in libraries. Yes, I review books containing pseudoscience or creationism and refute the @&%$ out of them. I am also know to be passively active against Ray Comfort and Way of the Master, but I also keep an eye on other creatards (such as Lee Strobel).
I tend to focus on Ray Comfort more on IronChariots than on RationalWiki. Perhaps that is because IronChariots allows me to watch and critique the Way of the Master shows. I have critiqued all the ones done so far (except for episodes: Evolution, Atheism, Satanism, and Firefighter). It is a lot of work, and I enjoy doing it. However, I would ask for a bit of help - feel free to start a critique of any of the untouched episodes.
Articles I created
- Atheists know there is a God - I gave my best response, but I'm sure more can be added.
- Christianity invented science - I thought this new growing delusion had to be settled.
- Christianity invented secularism - This is a smaller delusion, but just as ridiculous.

White Poverty Exists, Ignored
Indeed, people here are still talking about the story the New York Times ran in June declaring neighboring Clay County "the hardest place in America to live." Which was positively complimentary compared to a piece the National Review ran six months before, declaring Owsley "The White Ghetto." Reporter Kevin D. Williamson wrote that instead of contemplating their bleak reality, the people here escape it with "the pills and the dope, the morning beers, the endless scratch-off lotto cards, healing meetings up on the hill, the federally funded ritual of trading cases of food-stamp Pepsi for packs of Kentucky's Best cigarettes and good old hard currency, tall piles of gas station nachos, the occasional blast of meth, Narcotics Anonymous meetings, petty crime, the draw, the recreational making and surgical unmaking of teenaged mothers, and death …" … "You've got to understand," says Logsdon, "people shy away from reporters." Sure enough, a worker at the Family Dollar store doesn't want her name used. A woman at a medical conference in Hazard warns everyone in earshot in a loud voice that a reporter is among them. So it goes during a week spent wandering this county and adjacent counties discussing something America almost never talks about: white poverty.

Disc brakes aside, there is no doubt this is the best brake set-up for bike polo.
Paul Components have been making their Motolite v-brakes for years. And so perfect is the look and performance, that changes and updates are simply not needed. Teamed up with the Paul double lever and with some help from Nokon cables and the result is of pure delight! The control is insane. You decide how you're slowing down. Because there's no spring in the lever and the spring set-up in the brakes are different to standard v's, stress on the cables is minimal. My previous single v-brake was harder to pull than this! So light on the hand! That means no more crazy aches in the wrists and forearm. Koolstop Salmon pads, Nokon cable (no noodles!), and Middleburn cable oilers make the set-up even sweeter. It just works like you wouldn't believe.
Ok so Paul stuff isn't the cheapest. But you ride your polo bike more than any other bike right? And it's your favourite! If it's not is should be! So stop buying crap parts and treat yourself. And did I mention how amazing they look?!!! mmm
Brick Lane Bikes are now stocking Paul comp inc Double and single levers, Motolites, and a fine selection of other parts.

Once watching their respective teams rival each other for national scoring titles, David Arseneault and Gary Smith are now sitting on the same bench.
Arseneault (left photo) is in his 19th year coaching the Grinnell College men's basketball team, and the run-and-gun system he developed for the Pioneers in the early 1990s continues to make national headlines. Smith (right photo) is recently retired from a 37-year coaching career at the University of Redlands (Calif.). During that time he ran up-tempo offenses in two different stints, the second a direct offshoot of Grinnell's style.
Frequent meetings and a shared philosophy forged a friendship between the two coaches. That led to Smith's decision after retirement to move to Grinnell, where he lives with Arseneault's family while serving as a first-year volunteer coach for the Pioneers.
In fact, before Smith's retirement was official, the two coaches had managed to set up a game between their programs on Jan. 6, 2008, in California. Although still an anticipated battle for Grinnell, the contest won't feature the intended unique twist as Redlands has converted to a more traditional style of play this season.
Arseneault and Smith share equal praise for each other and what each brings to a basketball program. "David has a very intuitive sense and feel of the team," said Smith. "He does a great job of seeing how things are presented in practice and then making the necessary adjustments."
"You couldn't have two more different coaching styles," added Arseneault of Smith. "He's the most organized person I've met and I'm at the reverse edge of the scale. I think it's good for our players to see that other side rather than just my style."
Arseneault can still remember introducing his system a few years after starting at Grinnell. "We had a group of recruits who seemed really enthusiastic to play this style. They had a different mentality than the returning core of players, a group that maybe lost one too many games over the years. I tried to keep them apart for that reason, so we formulated groups. I didn't want the upperclassmen not to play, but also didn't want them to affect the exuberance of the newcomers. So that's kind of how it started."
As time went on, more and more coaches wanted to know the finer points of the system, which implements up-tempo play, plenty of 3-pointers, pressure defense and frequent five-player substitutions. "I'd say that's what a third of my job duties consist of, answering inquiries about our system from all over the country," Arseneault said.
Smith actually ran up-tempo ball at Redlands two decades ago. "We played fast before there was such a thing as the Grinnell system," he recalled. "Back in the late 80s and early 90s we were running, only that was more of the Loyola Marymount system. But we eventually went away from that due to personnel."
After some time back in the traditional mode, Smith longed for a return to the fast style. "I wanted to get back into it," he said. "I missed it and knew what Grinnell was doing back here. I like playing fast and our program needed a shot in the arm. We'd hit a down slope and I figured something different might work to turn us around."
That led Smith to track down Arseneault and learn what he could. "Gary contacted me and said he felt his kids could run, so he was wondering if he couldn't learn more about our system," said Arseneault. "He tried it for a year and it wasn't working very well I could see that on the game film he sent me."
Smith agreed with Arseneault's assessment of the trial period. "Let's just say the first year was not very productive," Smith laughed. "In hindsight, I think I tried to complicate things too much. I sent David the game films and then came back here the next summer. That's when I got that close-up look and found out how to do it the right way."
That close-up look eventually paid dividends. After Grinnell won 11 consecutive Division III national scoring titles from 1994-2004, Redlands broke that string in 2005 with a still-record 132.4 points per game. Grinnell regained the scoring title the next season, only to have Redlands win it in 2007.
"Sure enough, once he got the hang of it he went on to break all of our records," Arseneault said with a laugh. "The one year his team averaged 132 points a game. I thought it was pretty impressive the year we scored 126, but 132 I don't get it."
Smith will have mixed feelings when he returns to Currier Gym, the home court for Redlands. "It will be fun getting back there, but it will also be very different to be in that gym with my (former) team sitting on the other bench," he said. "I don't really know how to describe the feelings that will be going through me."

WASHINGTON – Nearly half of U.S. states have made great strides in the past eight years toward reducing the prosecution of juveniles in the adult criminal justice system or preventing youths from being placed in adult jails and prisons, a report released Thursday found.
The report, by the Washington-based Campaign for Youth Justice -- a national advocacy group that seeks to end the practice of trying, sentencing and incarcerating youth under 18 in the adult criminal justice system –- reviewed reforms among states nationwide.
The report highlights reforms in 23 states that include limiting states' authority to house young people in adult jails and prisons; raising the age for juvenile court jurisdiction to 18 so older teens are no longer automatically prosecuted as adults; revising laws so youths are more likely to stay in the juvenile justice system instead of being transferred to the adult system; and changing mandatory minimum sentencing laws.
Carmen Daugherty, policy director at CFYJ, pointed out that many of the reforms had been passed unanimously, reflecting the results of research on prosecuting juveniles in the adult criminal justice system or placing them in adult jails and prisons.
"We know that a lot of research and data have come out to show that past policies didn't work to increase public safety or reduce juvenile crime," Daugherty told JJIE.org.
"Policymakers are really taking into account the research, that data that is now available, in really realizing that the past practices of treating youths as adults did not work."
The report notes many states enacted harsh laws in the 1980s and 1990s aimed at cracking down on youth crime by making it easier for young people to be prosecuted in adult criminal courts.
[module align="right" width="half" type="pull-quote"]The public remains largely unaware that 95 percent of juveniles tried in adult courts nationwide are non-violent offenders.[/module]Despite juvenile justice reforms, the report said, about 250,000 juveniles are tried in adult courts annually and nearly 100,000 youths are paced in adult jails and prisons each year. And half the states have undertaken no juvenile justice reforms, the report said.
Jessica Sandoval, CFYJ's vice president and deputy director, said the public remains largely unaware that 95 percent of juveniles tried in adult courts nationwide are non-violent offenders.
"We don't think the public is aware of it mostly because of the news that we see highlighting the most heinous crimes but not the kid who … gets in a schoolyard fight and gets charged as an adult," Sandoval told JJIE.org.
Despite the lack of progress in many states, the CFYJ officials said they're heartened by reforms that have taken place.
The officials point out research showing youths placed in the adult criminal justice system have a much higher rate of recidivism than those in the juvenile system and that youths are 36 times more likely to commit suicide in an adult jail than in a juvenile detention facility. And the U.S. Supreme Court has noted research showing young people's brains are still developing and that they lack the maturity of adults.
Among the reforms highlighted in the report:
- Eleven states – Colorado, Idaho, Indiana, Maine, Nevada, Hawaii, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Texas, Oregon and Ohio – have enacted laws limiting states' authority to house youths in adult jails and prisons.
- Four states – Connecticut, Illinois, Mississippi and Massachusetts – have increased the age for juvenile court jurisdiction. This means older teens are no longer automatically tried in adult criminal courts.
- Twelve states – Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Nevada, Utah, Virginia, Washington, Ohio, Maryland and Nevada – have revised laws on the transfer of youths to the adult criminal justice system, making it more likely young people will remain in the juvenile justice system.
- Eight states – California, Colorado, Georgia, Indiana, Texas, Missouri, Ohio and Washington – have changed mandatory minimum sentencing laws. Among other things, the changes take into account the differences in brain development between youths and adults and allow for post-sentencing review for young people facing juvenile court sentences of life without parole.
"We are finding that states are moving away from prosecuting youths in the adult criminal justice system and from placing youths in adult jails and prisons," Sandoval said. "We think that there's work to do obviously. But we think this is a good direction we're heading in."
Tracy McClard lobbied hard for the reforms in Missouri. She did so in memory of her son, Jonathan McClard, who hanged himself in a Missouri prison in January 2008, three days after his 17th birthday -- and after a month of being held in solitary confinement for placing his hands in his lap, violating prison rules, during a visit from his mother.
Jonathan was 16 when he was tried as an adult, charged with first-degree assault with a deadly weapon in the shooting of a youth who was dating Jonathan's ex-girlfriend -- and who he believed had threatened to harm her. The victim survived the shooting.
Juvenile justice officials who reviewed Jonathan's case concluded he could be rehabilitated and recommended to a judge that he be placed in a juvenile facility offering education and rehabilitation programs under the state's dual jurisdiction program. The program allows youths to receive a suspended adult sentence and be placed in a juvenile detention facility.
Among other things, "Jonathan's Law," named for the teen, requires judges to state in writing why they reject Division of Youth Services recommendations that a youth be placed in a juvenile facility under the dual jurisdiction program.
The law also raises the age that youths must be considered for dual jurisdiction from 17 to 17 years and six months. (In Missouri, 17-year-olds are tried as adults automatically.)
Jonathan's mother founded Families and Friends Organized to Reform Juvenile Justice, which urged legislators to approve the law and continues to seek juvenile justice reform.
"The general public really does not know what we do to kids when they get arrested, and policymakers don't know what we do to these kids," McClard said.
[module align="right" width="half" type="pull-quote"]"The more we can expose these youths to the rehabilitative-type programs in the juvenile system, the better the outcomes are going to be for the youths and, as a result, for the community..."[/module]Michele Deitch, a professor at the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin, said her research has shown many young people charged with crimes can be rehabilitated through education and treatment.
"So the more we can expose these youths to the rehabilitative-type programs in the juvenile system, the better the outcomes are going to be for the youths and, as a result, for the community," Deitch told JJIE.org.
"It improves public safety. It reduces the number of victims. It reduces the chance that these kids are going to ultimately be repeat criminals or end up in the adult system and a burden to society in that way."
Other research by Deitch helped persuade lawmakers to enact a 2011 law enabling those youths under 17 tried as adults to be held in a juvenile facility rather than an adult jail while awaiting trial.
"It's a very poor fit to put children in adult facilities where they are at physical risk and their mental health is at risk and where the programs and services that are offered are just completely inappropriate for this age group," Deitch said. "Jails are not equipped to provide children with education or treatment or services."
She noted youths housed with adults are at high risk of being sexually or physically assaulted and if they're placed in solitary confinement away from adults, it causes psychological harm and increases their risk of suicide.

It's called Bending: Dirty Kinky Stories About Pain, Power, Religion, Unicorns, & More. I bought it. I read the first page of the introduction, my gnarled and liver-spotted hands trembling, and saw words that were threatening to my comfortable cis male heterosexual conventionality, and then started getting palpitations. I set it aside. Maybe when I've recovered and my heart gets a little stronger, I'll try the second page.
Unless…maybe one of you can read it and tell me if it's got stuff suitable for a geezer. Or, you know, I'm not really into unicorns, so maybe you can tell me which page has the hot cephalopod action.
Another possibility is that I could give it to my wife to read. I'm just afraid that if she really likes it, I might not survive the experience.
Or maybe I could ask her to read it aloud to me. That ought to be safe. Like a children's book, right? Bedtime stories?

JERUSALEM — A knife and ax-wielding Israeli man attacked and lightly wounded a security guard at the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv on Tuesday before he was apprehended at the scene, police said.
Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said the assailant was an Israeli citizen in his early 40s. He said man's motive was unknown, but political motives were not suspected and the incident had nothing to do with Israel's battle with Hamas militants in Gaza.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is scheduled to arrive in Israel later Tuesday to try and secure a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas.
The U.S. Embassy on the Tel Aviv beachfront is one of the most secure locations in Israel, guarded around the clock by teams of Israeli and American security guards.
Rosenfeld said security was increased after the attack.
The Israeli embassy guard was slightly injured in the leg before firing a warning shot in the air, Rosenfeld said. The attacker was being questioned.
The U.S. Embassy did not immediately comment.

Monday soybeans had a very strong day after continued concerns over Argentine weather. March corn settled 1 ¼ higher, January soybeans 24 ½ higher, and March wheat 2 ¾ cents lower.
On Christmas day China announced an interest rate hike of 25 basis points which was expected to hold some resistance on the markets. Corn and wheat managed to stay mixed but soybeans rallied strong throughout the day. This is also on weaker than expected export inspections for soybeans. The 6 - 10 day forecast is still calling for hot and dry weather in Argentina which is providing support. For Brazil weather still remains favorable but heavy rains in the Northeastern section and dry conditions in the South are being monitored closely.
Export inspections were flat to weak:
Corn estimated range: 29 - 34 actual: 32.6
Beans estimated range: 35 - 40 actual: 23.3
Wheat estimated range: 22 - 27 actual: 17.5
March Corn and Soybean contracts are making new highs for 2010. Technically the market still looks strong but is getting towards overbought levels. The Commitment of Traders report was delayed until today. It shows heavy increases in net long positions by the funds in Corn and Beans. At the same time it shows their net short positions have only increased for Natural Gas. Many traders are concerned that in early 2011 they will flip and start to roll out of corn and reduce their Nat Gas short positions. If this happens it could be negative grains near term. We are still looking at getting short term put protection on for corn and beans, and after days like today it only looks cheaper to do so. Please call your broker if you need to get more protection on for your 2011 crops.
Markets are expected to be low volume through December 31st as many traders are on vacation. Today we did see very low volume in corn and wheat, but decent size in soybeans. If you are looking to add additional protection, or have any market questions, please don't hesitate to give your broker a call.

It really is going to be quite the exciting month or so for the rest of the season. I really hope my Avs can keep up the momentum they have going and take a playoff spot. They may be the youngest team in the NHL right now, but with the talent they have, they need to find away to get past that and make the playoffs.
Man those last two games sure hurt... Especially getting shut out by Columbus at home. That sucked.
Let's have Mr. Crosby stay healthy please. And Go Jets Go.
Who the **** is this guy?
I've seen enough from my Wild so far this year that I'm now expecting a 7-8 seed in the West and not just "at least we were better than last year".
You'll get me for 9 games + the playoffs.

My contractor did poor repair work on my home, and my insurance company won't pay for fixing the work. Doesn't my insurance have to pay for it?
Consumers often ask us about this. Unless your insurer gave you no choice but to use its recommended contractor(s), the answer is no. If you chose the contractor, then the resolution will be between you and the contractor. If the contractor does not fix the work, then you may need to seek legal advice about your options. Generally, a contractor will try to resolve such issues, so we recommend that you first try to work it out with your contractor.
By the way, the situation is the same for auto repairs. If you chose the repair shop, then resolution needs to be between you and the shop. If you chose a shop recommended by your insurer, then we would expect your insurer to help you resolve the issue.

NBC's brand new 24/7 quiz show "Million Second Quiz" made its live on-air premiere Monday night, and afterward, one man was more than $100,000 richer.
Not a bad hourly rate for a guy who's still in college.
That student would be Queens, N.Y.-bred Brandon Saunders, a computer science and math student at New York University and a quiz show veteran. (He's been on "Jeopardy!" and "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.") Saunders started out and finished up the show's hour-long broadcast in the show's Money Chair.
Saunders dispensed with Barry Landers, a sweater vest-clad San Diego man several decades his senior, and then with Leigh Guerra-Paz, a young Dallas lawyer. Plucked from her family's home and whisked to New York on the merits of her chops playing the "Million Second Quiz" app online, she became the show's first line-jumper.
Finally, as the show's first hour on air neared its end, Brandon dispensed with current Winner's Row denizen Carolyn Bergier when he correctly identified just how many zeroes were present in a googol.
That string of zeroes (100 of them, as he correctly noted) earned Saunders the chance to remain in the Money Chair, where he was racking up $10 per second — and with his correct answers Monday evening had won more than $149,000 by the time the broadcast ended, rocketing him to the top spot on Winners' Row.

MWC 15 Special
Following NTT DoCoMo's and HTC's earlier announcement, to jointly market HTC Windows Mobile devices to the Japanese market, today both companies announced the launch of the first Windows Mobile Pocket PC Phone Edition, the "hTc Z", which will features - for sure - the Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 Japanese-edition operating system.
The hTc Z, which is based on HTC's Hermes Windows Mobile Pocket PC Phone Edition will enable a variety of useful mobile business solutions using Windows and Exchange Server, in addition to Bluetooth and many add-in applications.
Since the hTc Z is the same device as HTC's recently announced HTC TyTN, it features the same specifications such as tri-band UMTS 3G which will allow NTT DoCoMo customers to access DoCoMo's FOMA 3G network as well as to roam across Europe, US and Asia, plus GSM, GPRS, EDGE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and a mini-USB port.
Equipped with Microsoft's AKU 2, the Z supports Microsoft's Direct Push E-Mail, Internet browsing, synchronization with Microsoft Outlook Calendar, Contacts and E-Mail and the ability to work on applications in the Microsoft Office suite such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint and viewing PDF documents. The hTz Z comes equipped with a slide-out, ergonomic QWERTY keyboard (not sure yet how the Japanese keyboard layout will look like) and 2.8 color display with touch-screen. It also features a jog wheel for easy, one-hand operation.
Music, video, pictures and all other files can be stored on a microSD card and the camera features 2 megapixel with macro mode, on-screen controls and DSC (Digital Still Camera) functionality plus a second camera for video telephony. Available in Black & Silver, the hTc Z doesn't compromise in style.
NTT DoCoMo will demonstrate the hTc Z at DoCoMo's booth at Wireless Japan 2006 in Tokyo from July 19 to 21. DoCoMo plans to sell the handsets to corporate customers as part of its comprehensive business solution; according to DoCoMo's press release, sales is expected to start in late July, a price wasn't given yet.

Product Reviews
Even non-fans of Michael Jackson will be caught up in the exuberance and virtuosity of Moonwalker. This 84-minute music video casts The Gloved One as host of a futuristic TV special. Highlights include an extended Claymation sequence and a 3-D vignette put together by the Disney Company. The most endearing aspect of Moonwalker is Jackson's willingness to poke fun at his own tabloid-headline image. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
Product Notes
NTSC/Region 1. * Please note the back cover states Region 3 but the pressing is in fact playable on all Region 1 playes. See Michael Jackson as you've never seen him before in Moonwalker, a magical, musical, feature-length adventure that takes you to the moon and back with the most well-known entertainer on the planet. A true collector's treaure, Moonwalker combines Michael Jackson's greatest videos with rare clips from his early days in the Jackson 5 and live concert and Grammy performances. Also included is a wild adventure film written by Michael Jackson himself, allowing a rare and unique glimpse into the creative mind of this musical genius. Look for cameo appearances by Joe Pesci, Mick Jagger, Sean Lennon, Elizabeth Taylor and others!

GLANVILL, Siobhan. Analysing the construction of South African youth in historical-related images and texts around the time of 16 June 2011. Y&T [online]. 2012, n.7, pp.169-184. ISSN 2309-9003.
This paper aims to investigate how young people in post-apartheid South Africa are being constructed in negative ways in the fight of how we commemorate and teach the Anti-apartheid struggle. Is it possible to teach the stories of the past without burdening this generation with guilt and paralysing the youth in terms of their own struggles? It specifically focus on how the media are currently reconstructing the struggle icons as superhuman, and in so doing, implying that the youth can never live up to the achievements of these heroes. I am interested in how history, as it is taught in our schools can play a role in restoring agency and a healthy respect for the past.

This Open Semantic Framework site will cease its online presence in July 2020. Development of OSF ended in 2017 and the software is no longer maintained.
Thank you for your interest through the years!
Combine all existing content, from documents to databases, Web pages to spreadsheets . . .
Manage and publish it using one of the 27 Web service, export or query endpoints . . .
Improve search, discover connections, feed external apps, filter, tag content, visualize, learn . . .
The Open Semantic Framework (OSF) is an integrated software stack using semantic technologies for knowledge management. It has a layered architecture that combines existing open source software with additional open source components. OSF is designed as an integrated content platform accessible via the Web, which provides needed knowledge management capabilities to enterprises. OSF is made available under the Apache 2 license.
OSF has a variety of applications from enterprise information integration to collaboration networks and open government. The system provides:
OSF can integrate and manage all types of content — unstructured documents, semi-structured files, spreadsheets, and structured databases — using a variety of best-of-breed data indexing and management engines. All external content is converted to the canonical RDF data model, enabling common tools and methods for tagging and managing all content. Ontologies provide the schema and common vocabularies for integrating across diverse datasets. These capabilities can be layered over existing information assets for unprecedented levels of integration and connectivity. All information within OSF may be powerfully searched and faceted, with results datasets available for export in a variety of formats and as linked data.
The OSF stack consists of multiple layers. In the standard configuration, there is tight integration with Drupal 7 and its leading modules, enabling use of OSF with standard Drupal interfaces and constructs. All interactions with OSF occur via a robust layer of nearly 30 Web services and their associated APIs, which abstract and simplify how to interact with the stack. The OSF engines layer provides RDF and OWL management capabilities using the proven Virtuoso (RDF), Solr (search), OWL API (ontologies) and GATE (tagging and NLP) standalone applications. Besides Drupal and these engines, all remaining OSF components and Web services have been developed specifically to achieve the complete architecture of the Open Semantic Framework. OSF has been developed over six years and is now in version 3.x.
OSF features an automatic installer, a variety of command-line tools useful for managing the OSF stack and its information, extensive unit and systems test suites, and comprehensive documentation and how-to guides.

Game design, particularly for big-budget, blockbuster console titles, is an incredibly tricky and intricate process. In the most recent episode of the Irrational Interviews series, the creative directors of two renowned franchises compare notes on how they work, what creative design really means, and how the games ever get out of the door.
Ken Levine, creative director and writer of Irrational's BioShock and BioShock Infinite discussed the process of games writing and creation with Naughty Dog's Amy Hennig, creative director of the Uncharted series.
The two start with a conversation about what a creative director really is, or actually does for a game. For all the comparisons games continue to draw to cinema, even today, Hennig and Levine are both adamant that the development processes and final products are hugely divergent. Levine explains that the role of a creative director is "not as clear as a film director... our job is still not very well defined."
Hennig agrees, saying that the role is "both sort of wonderful and terrible," and adds that there's a certain kind of nimble quality involved in producing games. "The best games are developed in a very iterative way," she says, comparing the process to the rigid scripting and storyboarding more often found in films. "It's invention, it's experimentation engineering... it's not the way films are made."
While repeating that she hates for the process to sound at all "mystical," because making a game is anything but, Hennig does echo a sentiment often heard from artists in many physical media when she explains, "It's not like you're crafting this thing; it's like you're blindfolded or in a pitch dark room trying to feel out the shape of it and figure out what it is. This story is already a thing, but you're just trying to learn it, and you're trying to discover it."
Levine and Hennig also discuss the phenomenon of gamer entitlement and customer opinions (referencing the current wave of Mass Effect passion amongst fans), and what responsibilities creators do have to both the players and to the product itself.
The whole hour is a great chance to listen to two peers discuss and demystify their work, and hear how the games we play take shape from the inside out.

Bad news, JT fans: Justin Timberlake has postponed all of the remaining 2018 dates for his "Man of the Woods Tour." The singer, who has been recovering from what was ascertained to be "bruised vocal cords," broke the unfortunate announcement on Instagram Wednesday night (December 5).
"Hey guys, I'm sure you have heard that I've had to postpone several tour dates due to bruised vocal cords. My vocal cords are healing, but they are not all the way back to normal yet, so my doctors want me to continue to rest my voice," he writes in the post. "They have asked me to hold off on singing until next month. I'm really sorry, I want to be back on the stage and I am doing all I can to get there quickly. Thank you for understanding — I see all of your posts and I appreciate the support and the love. I look forward to coming back stronger than I was before. More to come on the rescheduled dates."
Reports of JT's vocal plight first arose in late-October when he canceled dates at New York's Madison Square Garden and KeyBank Center. He has since rescheduled multiple other dates for appearances in Tacoma, Washington, Edmonton, and Vancouver to February 2019, with new shows to recommence in March 2019.

Meanwhile, we're wishing JT a safe and speedy recovery.

Why Buy a Metal Detector?
Metal detecting is a fun and exciting hobby. When you buy a metal detector and get outdoors and start treasure hunting, you will experience the thrill of the hunt. You never know what you will find – gold, relics, jewelry, rare coins, the list goes on. Whether you hunt at your local park, school playgrounds, in the woods, on the beach, or even in your own backyard, you are sure to have a great time, and you may even find rare, antique, or valuable items. On top of that, metal detecting also makes a great family activity; kids love to dig for treasure!
How Do I Choose the Right Metal Detector?
Our suggestion is always to buy the best metal detector that you can afford, and at Kellyco, we have machines to fit every budget. You will also want to consider a few things as you make your choice. First, where do you plan on hunting? If you want to search beaches and shallow water, then you will need an underwater detector. If you are going to be searching in areas with rough terrain, you will want to consider how lightweight the detector is, because you don't want to get tired carrying it as you are hiking around. You also have to think about what types of things you want to search for. For example, if you are detecting for gold, then you should look at metal detectors that are designed for finding gold. If you are having trouble making a decision about which metal detector to buy, ask one of our experts. They are happy to help you make the right choice.
How Does a Metal Detector Work?
Metal detectors may seem like complicated machines, but the way that they work is actually fairly simple: they transmit a magnetic field into the ground, then analyze it as it returns. If the electricity that is being generated by the magnetic field comes into contact with a metal object, it sends an alert to the control box and you hear the signal. Metal detectors have two coils in the search head. One transmits the magnetic field and one receives it as it's returned. So, to put it simply, the first coil sends, the second receives and detects changes in the magnetic field, then it sends an alert, letting you know where to dig.
What Can I Find with a Metal Detector?
The possibilities of what you may find are endless. Coins, both modern and old (possibly rare), are commonly found, as is lost jewelry. If you live in an area where Civil War battles were fought, you may find relics like bullets, buckles and buttons from uniforms, or even major finds like rifle and bayonets. When you go detecting in areas where gold has been found, you may find valuable nuggets of various sizes. While there are certain metal objects that you might expect to find in specific areas, the truth is, you never know what you will find. That's the fun of metal detecting – you never know if the next target you dig will be an amazing find!
How Deep Will Metal Detectors Go?
The depth at which a metal detector will find a target really depends on a number of things, including the target's size, shape, orientation, and material, how mineralized the ground is, and the size and shape of the search coils you have on your detector. It's hard to put a number on just how deep a metal detector will identify a target, but one of our detecting experts may be able to give a ballpark figure when you share the specifics of your search site, machine, and possible targets.

The other day I was a very un-intellectual conversation with one of my good friends about Sean Combs aka P Diddy aka Puff Daddy aka Puffy, yep the guy who has more name changes than Prince, about remembering how before Kanye West he was the hip-hop guy that fashion loved to hate, or in my friend and I's case – just love, love, love!!!
You see we were kind of more obsessed with his swagger, his relationship with Jennifer Lopez, come on I don't think J-Lo would have worn that incredible tropical printed Versace gown if she hadn't been with him, oh and I can't forget how much I loved his MTV Making the Band show – come you remember Danity Kane.
Well all this reminiscing got me thinking back to an editorial Diddy starred in alongside Kate Moss in US Vogue styled by Grace Coddington and shot by Annie Leibovitz back in 1999 'Puffy Takes Paris' – at the time I loved how the shoot mixes Haute Couture pieces from Chanel and Christian Dior with the gorgeous Paris backdrop and hip-hop elements of the large furs, and bling, bling and more bling.
To be honest the whole shoot still looks amazing. As well as Diddy and Kate doing a great job – the editorial also features Karl Lagerfeld, Oscar de la Renta, Jean Paul Gaultier, and John Galliano in one of the pictures – just how Puffy rolled in Paris back in 1999 I suppose.

Symbol of the Heart
For many centuries, the heart has been a symbol of love. Throughout pre-Christian and early Christian eras, it was believed to be the center of emotion. During the 16th century and the baroque period (1600-1750), the heart was recognized as a sign of sincerity and devotion. In many nations around the world today, the heart is the primary symbol of St. Valentine's Day, a holiday celebrating love.
