the interests of the intellectual and scientific community are extended into the international sphere one of the languages of wider communication must serve as the vehicle to put the ssttuatiion into

professionals will have to study abroad foreign scholars known l lds ledgeable in these fiieds will undoubtedly ee be brought into the country unquestionably they will have to lecture in english this adds to the reading skills already specified that of aural comprehension students in seminars or study groups will b have to respond to their instructor in his b own language which demands a speaking

command of all four of the language skills the demand for this kind of competence is not as extensive as it would be in a country where I english is a second language in that a smaller portion of the population is affected and the range of subject matter is considerably restricted nevertheless within these limits a high degree of competence is required and h de certainly far more than just a reading knowledge for this reason the term language of study seems to characterize the e situation much morg precisely than library language ii ll e uko most schemes of classification this one is open

Timothy White, now head of UC Riverside, will take over as chancellor of the California State University system in late December with an annual salary of $421,500, with a CSU standard benefits package and a $30,000 supplement from CSU Foundation sources.
Read the full story here Web Link posted Sunday, October 7, 2012, 11:42 PM
Posted by Rgf49er, a resident of the Danville neighborhood, on Oct 8, 2012 at 10:55 amRgf49er is a member (registered user) of Danville Express
I am disturbed by the salary, and the package the new chancellor is receiving. While the tuition is going up every year and 40x from when I first went to SFSU in 1979. The salary is out of sync with the present situation of our economy. Our children are facing enormous burdens with gaining a college education and most State Univ are facing difficult decision with cut backs, increase tuition, over burden classes and so much more. How can the State justify this outrageous salary?
Posted by Informed Voter, a resident of the Danville neighborhood, on Oct 8, 2012 at 7:58 pm
Can you imagine the pension for this position? This is a remarkable salary for any state job. Our poor college kids; of which I have three. I can only imagine that there would have been a "qualified" candidate who come make the same decisions that Mr. Timothy White could make if they had the same job.
Posted by Darlene Ryno, a resident of the Danville neighborhood, on Oct 8, 2012 at 8:14 pm
Do you really think these outrageous examples will help pass Proposition 30?

Our premium folio-style case has printed cotton on the front and back cover, with a quality leather spine. The interior is lined with soft microsuede.

Late yesterday afternoon while I was feeding the cats in my care, a very wet, bedraggled and frail little cat suddenly appeared. We took you to the vet, who didn't give us much hope but we said that we would care for you and give you a warm bed for the night. Apparently my little ginger and white friend, you were female and very, very old. Sadly, you passed peacefully just a short while ago and we only had the pleasure of your company for just a very few hours
may this candle guide you to the Summerlands little one, and know that you go with our love and blessings
May your whiskas be ruffled by only pleasant breezes,
May your bowls be filled with tuna and sweet cream,
May your dreams be blessed with legions of mice,
And most of all,
May you forever purr in peace.

Adult Protective Services
To report adult abuse, call (within New York State only): 1-800-342-3009 (Press Option 6) or
contact the local county Department of Social Services Adult Protective Services.
Abuse is a problem we all seem to be aware of when it comes to children, the use of dangerous substances, or the ways in which decisions made can lead to suffering, pain, and loss for ourselves or those around us.
But what about Adult & Elder Abuse?
When we talk about adult and elder abuse, we're talking about family. Your family, my family, the family next door, the family across town. Someone you know might be suffering from physical, emotional, or sexual abuse. The kindly neighbor next door who trims your hedges might be a victim of financial exploitation by a family member, caretaker, or other close associate.
One out of every 14 Americans over the age of 60 may be suffering from some sort of abuse. And for each case of elder abuse reported, five more cases go unreported. It's hard to imagine that those who have protected and cared for us for all these years may now need our care and protection, but it's true.
New York State's Protective Services for Adults program, provided through local county departments of social services, has been created by law to aid in the protection of impaired adults over the age of 18 who may be falling victim to abuse.
We are here to aid and protect, but it all begins with you. Protective Services for Adults can do nothing to help if they are not notified. Please review this web site for further information and instruction on how you can help curb adult abuse, and think about your responsibilities for protecting and caring for your loved ones and neighbors the next time you suspect adult abuse in your family or community.
This web site is designed to provide information on Protective Services for Adults to the Human Services community and the general public in New York State. Its purpose is to educate the community service network on recognizing and responding to adult abuse, neglect and financial exploitation issues and understanding the role of local district Protective Services for Adults staff in responding to these issues.
PSA clients are among the most debilitated and neglected members of the community: the frail elderly, the mentally ill, the developmentally disabled and the abused and exploited. These persons are often not known to any agency or have refused services and are isolated from family and friends. The need to provide help for these individuals will continue to grow as our population ages and family ties become strained by distance and the burden of chronic illness.

Research Biologist Matt Peek says it was a trail camera that caught the mountain lion in Stafford County.
"It's fairly uncommon. That's the ninth one we've observed in the state since 2007 or that we can confirm in the state since 2007," Peek said.
The picture was taken October 31. But the deer hunter, who put the camera up near his stand, didn't check his pictures until last week.
"Tenth, fifteenth picture I went through when I came across the mountain lion. Shocked to say the least," Kurt Keesling, the deer hunter, said.
Peek says it's probably a juvenile male, kicked-out of his "typical territory" by adult toms.
"When those populations in western states are increasing, there's less room for these sub-adult males to stay in the existing population," Peek said.
Mountain lions used to roam the state. Now, Kansans only have occasional sightings. However, people in every state west of Kansas live with the big cats every day.
"It's difficult to say they're making a comeback. They're certainly passing through here more than they used to," Peek said.
The deer hunter who caught this image isn't concerned about a cougar comeback.
"As long as he doesn't bother us, we're not going to bother him for sure and I think it's kind of neat to have one in the area really," Keesling said.
Thanks to trail cameras, many hunters will know when one visits.
It is legal to kill a mountain lion if you're protecting your life or property. However, it is illegal to kill a cougar just because you see one.

Milford Hatchery
The Milford Fish Hatchery is a state-of-the-art facility and one of only a few warm water, "intensive-culture" fish hatcheries in the country. Its objective is the rearing of sport fish for the more than 300,000 Kansas anglers.
The hatchery is one of four department hatcheries in the state. The older facilities at Pratt, Meade, and Farlington use an "extensive" system of fish culture in which earthen ponds are used for hatching and rearing. The Milford Fish Hatchery uses an "intensive" system in which eggs are hatched in small containers, and fish are grown in fiberglass tanks and concrete raceways. The Milford Hatchery also has six one-acre plastic lined ponds that are used to raise fish. Some advantages are that more fish can be raised in less water and the health of the fish can be monitored daily.
Construction of the hatchery was completed in January, 1985, at a total cost of $4.5 million. The Milford Hatchery was financed by money from fishing license fees. The majority of the funding was provided by a $3.00 hatchery fee added to the cost of a regular fishing license.
The hatchery is managed by Harold Jagerson. Five specialists share responsiblities in production and maintainance of the hatchery: Hatchery Biologists - Latham Worl, Steve Priller, and Daric Schneidewind; Fisheries Technicians - John Jameson, and Doug Wolnic. The hatchery also has up to 12 temporary employees annually.

An offshore trust is created when assets are transferred to a trustee. The trustee becomes the legal owner and is responsible for managing the assets and distributing them to the beneficiaries of the offshore trust (which could include the person or corporation which transferred the assets to the trustees) in accordance with the terms of the trust deed.
The terms on which the Trustees administer the trust assets are detailed in a trust deed and trust legislation to govern trusts has been enacted in many common law jurisdictions.
Using Jordans Trust Company to set up a trust you can be sure that we will act in accordance with the settlors wishes. We are experienced in setting up trusts and have a proven track record for providing a high level of ongoing support.
For further information please contact one of our team by:
Director and Principal
Jersey has a well established and long standing trust law, with courts and a legal profession which has a world class reputation in handling, processing and advising on trust matters.
Consequently, many trustees in other jurisdictions often create trusts which are subject to the Jersey (Trust) Law of 1984 (as subsequently amended).
Trustees in Jersey can create and administer a wide variety of Jersey Trusts, including discretionary trusts (with or without Protectors); life interest or interest in possession trusts, and we can ensure that our trusts contain the necessary special provisions to ensure that the unique circumstances of each case are fully advised and catered for.
More information about Jersey Trusts.
BVI VISTA trusts are particularly appropriate to own shares in trading companies where the settlor wishes the shares of the trading company to be retained indefinitely by the trustee notwithstanding "prudent investment" considerations which might otherwise lead a trustee to dispose of the shares to comply with modern investment theories.
The VISTA regime enables the trustee to restrict its powers in relation to trading company shares without exposure to claims for breach of trust; whilst allowing management to operate without restrictive supervision from the trustee. However with appropriate planning, the tax and succession planning of offshore trusteeship is retained.
More information about Vista Trusts.
The Seychelles has had it's own trust law since 1995, however many trustees in Seychelles utilise the trust laws of other more mature trust jurisdictions (such as Jersey) where case law precedents is much clearer.
Our Seychelles trustees administer Jersey and UK trusts, which benefit from complex tax exemption in the Seychelles. As with our Jersey office, we have the expertise to create discretionary or fixed interest trusts, with or without protector provisions and with special drafting to meet the needs of each particular case.
More information about Seychelles Trusts.
Cyprus trusts are governed by the "International Trusts Law, 1992", of Cyprus.
Under Cyprus law, an international trust is defined as a trust of which:
More information about Cyprus Trusts.
UK trusts are often used in international tax planning and can be extremely beneficial particularly for domestic i.e. UK tax planning for UK high net worth taxpayers. The advantages derived from using UK trusts for UK inheritance tax planning are still available to domestic taxpayers.
UK trusts are used less frequently for international tax planning purposes given that the rate of tax for discretionary trusts resident in the UK is 50% on income and gains.
More information about UK Trusts.
Super-efficient and have looked after me very well indeed...you are a rare corporate animal in my experience - you're genuinely customer focused.
We've always found Jordans professional, approachable and their enthusiasm and quality of service stand out. They're also able to gear up to deal with a large volume of work in a short timescale.

The Louisiana Legistlative Auditor's office has completed its probe into concerns at the St. Bernard Parish Clerk of Court's office and is expected to release its report in the next couple of weeks, the WDSU I-Team has learned.
The year-long examination centers on activities during the administration of former clerk Lena Torres.
In late 2011, the I-Team reported that then-incoming clerk of court Randy Nunez -- who defeated Torres in a bitter campaign -- believed his predecessor violated protocols regarding the destruction of documents.
That concern will be addressed by the legislative audit when it is released.
The report is also expected to explore claims that Torres allowed her son, local attorney Sidney Torres III, to file hundreds of cases without paying a mandatory filing fee of $300 each. The failure to pay in a timely fashion may apply to hundreds of cases.
The Metropolitan Crime Commission shared that concern with the auditors.
"The allegation is that attorneys were paying these (fees), with the exception of Miss. Torres' son, Sidney Torres III," MCC President Rafael Goyeneche said.
The I-Team has learned that the report will substantiate some of the claims made to the legislative auditor.
The office does not possess law enforcement powers, but can share its findings with prosecutors at the parish or state level, who may then determine whether to take any action.
"If they believe there is potential for a criminal violation, they have a responsibility to make a referral," Goyeneche said. "So the fact that they are referencing that laws may have been broken -- they are just saying that this is something that needs to be looked at by a law enforcement agency."

"everything you need for a romantic night out in beautiful downtown san diego."
"i would highly recommend the cheese fundido& shrimp brochetas."
"really enjoy this local tapas bar."
"How can you not love the romantic, authentic ambiance and the friendly bar staff?"
"Sevilla was the perfect evening for my husband and I. The portions were perfect and allowed us to try many things on the menu."
"cafe sevilla restaurant has some excellent tapas."
"it was the most ridiculous experience ever."
"The tapas are great and so are the cocktails but the constant push to upsell and poor taste of the server to charge us for stuff that wasn't ordered ruined my experience at Cafe Sevilla."
"Sevilla was the perfect evening for my husband and I. The portions were perfect and allowed us to try many things on the menu."
"Wonderful atmosphere, quick service, great food."
had a great lunch. had a great lunch and an awesome experience. will return to try more stuff from the menu.
Incredible! Favorite nightclub in Gaslamp!. This place is just incredible. I went a few times back over the past few years, but recently have been loving it that much more, so its turned into a weekly hangout. Great vibe. Great DJs & music. Great drinks. Bottle service is on point. Friendly bartenders. Im not usually into the top 40s, but theyve grown on me with the DJ twisting them a bit, and so me & my friends love it. Its our Gaslamp Go To.
Not my cup of tea. I'm not a Tapas person... I'm also a vegetarian. This is not a good place for this mix... The portions were extremely small with extremely high prices. What I ate was ok... nothing special. I wouldn't go back there again.
Ay Caliente. This is a fantastic place if you want to liven up your night. Awesome Sangria, live flamenco music & tasty tapas. It gets quite loud for conversation, but if you're wanting to dance JUST do IT.
Great atmosphere- good food.
My family and I were vacationing in San Diego for a couple fo days. We stayed close to downtown so I was reccommended to go to Cafe Sevilla. We did not get the chance to go downstairs to the club, but we ate at the bar, since the place was crowded and the waiting for a table was like two hours(Friday night) . The service was great, the food was pretty good, loved it. The only thing that kept my attention, was the fact that the waiter asked us if we wanted our Paella Valenciana a little bit spicy( we are from texas, so of course, we said yes!) When the bill arrived we noticed they charged us an extra of $3.50 for "Spicier paella"!!!
Never imagined they were going to charge for something like that, nor it said it on the menu....
My favorite Restaurant.
I love going there and try different kinds of sangrias. My favorite is the Sangarita (half sangria, half margarita.) It has a tiny sourness to it, I love it! We like to enjoy the live music while we dine, so it's the perfect place for me and my friends.
We always like to get a variety of different tapas to share. One of my favorites is the Brocheta Mar y Tierra
(grilled Kabob, shrimp, beef and lamb). Oh my GOD! So good! Cooked perfectly and very well marinated! They also have a Ceviche that is one of the best I've had!
We always have a good time when we go there! Awesome enviroment, service and food!
Unique Experience!!!!!. I went to cafe sevilla for my birthday and it was great. The waitress was on top of everything. At the begining I had no idea what to order. But the waitress was very helpful and was able to fully explain the menu to us. All the recommendations were awesome. I particully liked the tuna tartare tower, lamb brocheta, manchego cheese mash potatoes and off course the Paella Valenciana. The restaurant was romantic in its own way. I have recommended this restaurant to my co-workers and family members. There is not one bad thing to say about my experience at Cafe Sevilla. The waitress came out with a flourless chocolate cake with a sparkling candle on top. I will certainly be going back to Sevilla very soon.
Best Tapas in town.
Gorgeous, romantic decor. Excellent service and very tasty food. I highly recommend the paella, stuffed dates, tuna tartare, pulpo gallega, and lamb skewers. The brocheta presentation is unique.
The free rewards program is a great deal ... a point for every dollar spent. Once you hit 100 points, you get $15 loaded on your card. $15 paellas on Mondays and $10 Brochetas on Sundays!! I can't wait to take advantage of that!
Fun atmosphere and casual dining. Love the ambiance at Cafe Sevilla. I have been here with friends for a casual night out or for business meetings. Great place! Check there website for specials and nightly entertainment.

So here I am in my apartment doing what I usually do before Game Summit: Wearing a lot of paint on my hands and clothes, sand stuck to the soles of my feet, white glue under my fingernails, dust from pink insulation foam in my hair (what little I have). This is my pre-GS ritual: Finishing off the last bits of this stuff. Right now Marquis is driving all over Ottawa picking things up, dropping things off, making calls, returning emails.
What about you guys? What are you doing with the last day before GS to prepare for it?

Latest Reviews for Men's Wedding Rings
It's a very nice ring.
Looks great and "feels comfortable" on his hand- and he never wears jewelry.
A really beautiful band. The two-tone design is a subtle, but stylish contrast, and for guys with skinnier fingers like myself, the thinner 4mm width worth very well. Only slight downside is that White gold middle portion is slightly elevated above yellow gold edges, with a sharp-ish edge. Would have preferred this was smoothed down. This slight crevice/seam tends to collect dust particles, but a simple wash with mild hand soap takes care of this. Overall, a very nice ring that I'm quite satisfied with.
It was perfect for my future husband! :-)

After performing more than 200 shows over the past 24 months promoting his debut blues album "Nothing To Lose" released March 2007, teen guitarist, singer-songwriter, Indie recording artist, Alex Tintinalli has received both local, national and international recognition.
In June 2008, Alex was awarded the prestigious Kitchener-Waterloo Arts Award for his contribution to the arts in his local community.

In addition to his debut CD release in 2007, Alex also released a DVD "Live At The Wax" which was recorded in front of over 400 fans during his CD release party in March that year. Alex's music has also been included on two local blues compilation CD's.
His intense, soulful music continues to receive world-wide airplay in over 60 countries and has been in the top 10 of the charts of the Living Blues Report for January, February and March 2008 thanks to a growing fan base around the globe.
His new music is a rhythmic blend of rich lyrics spilling over with an abundance of passion that will uplift your spirits and can best be described as "John Mayer meets Jason Mraz meets Jack Johnson".
Currently Alex is getting ready to release his self-written, self-produced, solo, acoustic EP project on June 6th, 2009.

SOURCE Smart Book Lovers
Exclusive international society selects leading books in Memoir, Young Adult, Mystery, Children's, and Fiction categories
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Really Enough, an exquisitely written narrative by two San Francisco Bay authors, won the award in the Memoir/Biography category. The novel tells the uplifting true story of one woman's daunting struggle for survival, freedom, and forbidden love under Chairman Mao.
"Winning the esteemed Sharp Writ Book Award furthers our book's mission to empower readers through this true story of hope," said Really Enough authors, Kathleen Martens and Margaret Zhao.
The award for Best Young Adult Book went to The Obsidian Pebble, by Rhys A. Jones, who writes middle-grade books. The Obsidian Pebble is the first of a quintet due for re-release by Spencer Hill Press in October 2013.
"I am flabbergasted and delighted in equal measure," said Jones. "Me, a Sharp Writ YA award winner! What a fillip!"
The award for best entry in the Mystery/Thriller category went to Desperate Measures. What should have been the perfect vacation on the Caribbean island of St. Kitts soon becomes a nightmare. The protagonist, Caitlin Martel, has no idea that a forgotten secret is about to explode and put her life in jeopardy. The suspense escalates through twists, turns, and family secrets revealed. A powerful climax unveils an unlikely alliance between two deadly and dangerous enemies.
"Writing a novel was my dream. Obtaining a publishing contract and winning the Sharp Writ Book Awards has exceeded my grandest expectations," said Cindy Cromer, author of Desperate Measures.
Mommy, Daddy, I Had a Bad Dream! won the award in the Children's Book category. In the story, a bouncy kangaroo named Joey has bad dreams which his parents lovingly help him understand. The story entertains children while teaching them to make sense of and master their bad dreams. The author, Martha Heineman Pieper, Ph.D., stated that she is proud and honored to have won a Sharp Writ Book Award.
Cry Dance won in the General Fiction category. "I wrote Cry Dance for readers who like to think, and the Sharp Writ award proves they are out there!" author Dr. Helen Bonner said.
Dr. Bonner's sci-fi novel Dolphin Papers recently won the Eric Hoffer Award, and her autobiographical Laid Daughter is a college text. All of her books are on Amazon.com.
Runners-Up Worth Mentioning
Sharp Writ Book Awards received several hundred books for the 2012 awards. Given the intense competition, many excellent books had to settle for second or third place. Nonetheless, they are so good that they are still worth mentioning.
These excellent runners up include the following books:
Smart Book Lovers is an international high-IQ society whose membership requires a love for books, an IQ score higher than 97.88% of the general population, and legal sanity.

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama rolled to re-election Tuesday night, vanquishing former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and triumphing despite a weak economy that plagued his first term and put a crimp in the middle class dreams of millions.
WASHINGTON (AP) - Republicans had renewed control of the House within their grasp early Wednesday as the two parties traded gains from the Eastern seaboard to the Southwest.
WASHINGTON (AP) - Voters who feel the economic outlook brightening after years of misery and believe Barack Obama better understands people like themselves propelled the president to a second term, exit polls show. Mitt Romney suffered from being labeled a champion of the wealthy over the common man.
President Barack Obama rolled to re-election Tuesday night, vanquishing former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and prevailing despite a weak economy that plagued his first term and put a crimp in the middle class dreams of millions. As of press time Tuesday night Barack Obama won in Newton County with 21,844 votes, while Mitt Romney had 20,979.
Newton County voters have spoken, and Tommy Davis has been elected as coroner once again. Republican Davis had 21,675 votes to Democrat Robert L. Bradley's 19,589. "I look forward to serving four more years for the citizens of Newton County," Davis said at the Board of Elections. "It is an honor to serve as their county coroner. The trust and confidence they put in me will increase my dedication and commitment to them and the job I do."
Mitt Romney has captured West Virginia and its five electoral votes. President Barack Obama is unpopular in the state, and West Virginia GOP officials have been hoping that would lead to victories for other Republicans on the ballot. Romney earlier won in Kentucky, giving him 13 electoral votes overall, while Obama was the winner of Vermont's three electoral votes.
NBC, CNN and Fox News now all report that they project Barack Obama to be re-elected president.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Americans will probably know who their next president is on Tuesday night or early Wednesday, but the formal process for picking a president actually extends beyond then.
WASHINGTON (AP) - Two fierce competitors who've given their all, President Barack Obama and Republican Mitt Romney now yield center stage to voters Tuesday for an Election Day choice that will frame the contours of government and the nation for years to come.
ATLANTA (AP) - Georgia early voting picked up in the final days, but it looks like turnout will fall just short of the 2 million ballots cast before the 2008 election. Early voting in metro Atlanta was down by a larger margin, however, suggesting that Georgians in the rest of the state are picking up the slack. As of Friday, almost 1.9 million people had either voted in person or mailed in ballots. That's ...

Until Justice #10
Supergirl is mind controlled and holding family and friends of the Justice League as hostages. Green Arrow & Black Canary are on a covert mission to take Supergirl down with a kryptonite arrow. Clayface is chasing them down so they haven't much time.
I love John Stewart's heroic bravado at the end. Green Arrow saves my favorite Green Lantern
so I guess now I'm a fan.
To be honest, I love the GA from the Brave & Bold animated series.

This mixed use, seven storey building is located adjacent to the Whitmore Bridge over the Regent's Canal. It provides the four client cooperative with two floors of office space, a double height photographic studio and three triplex apartments opening onto roof terraces which overlook the canal.
The building form illustrates the structural capabilities of prefabricated timber panels - maximising the multilateral strength of the material by arranging spaces to minimise lateral spans. At the centre of the building, the double height studio spans 9m and stretches to 23m of open column free space. This is achieved by the walls acting as beams and the party walls in the apartments above acting as trusses. The cross-laminated timber structure was erected in five weeks by a four man team.
Our extensive experience with timber construction has enabled us to push the boundaries of timber design in this project, cantilevering the timber building 1.5m over the canal. The cladding is sweet chestnut, a traditional British barn cladding timber. Timber reveals give depth to the elevations, and the large windows provide north light and canal views to the studio and offices.

I also have a question about your linen shirts. Is it the weight of the linen that makes them stand up to a tie? Or the lining in the collar and/or placket? I have several RTW casual linen shirts that are far too flimsy to dress up and would really love to have some made up that are suitable for use with taliored clothing.
Thanks for the insight.

Hard to say without seeing your shirts but it's probably a combination of construction and the interlining. Casual shirts are often made with simpler collars than dress shirts.

Finally catching up on older posts...Who makes your linen shirts? Quite impressive...

I use two shirtmakers: Turnbull & Asser and Hemrajani. Hemrajani will make the linen.

Are Crocolisks an Endangered Species? OK, not the way you might think. Specifically, I'm talking about the four Crocolisks you can get from the http://www.wowhead.com/quest=11665 Crocolisks in the City quest in Terokkar Forest. The drops are Chuck's Bucket, Muckbreath's Bucket, Snarly's Bucket, and Toothy's Bucket.
My question is, once you have gotten a specific Crocolisk on one particular character, does that bucket ever drop for that character again? I started running my high-level alts through it to farm the buckets for cross-server trade. The initial yields were between 25% - 50%, but lately they've tapered off to few or none. I haven't recorded which character got what, so I thought I would ask if anyone knows if they've gotten the same Crocolisk on a single character or not?

Investigators are looking for a white Volkswagen Jetta.
They say the gunman drove up to a group of people at the intersection of Rockaway and Riverdale Avenues in Brownsville Sunday and opened fire.
Three men, two teenagers, and the 2-year-old girl were hit.
All were taken to the hospital and treated.
Only one person remains hospitalized.
Police believe gang violence is the cause of the shooting.
Sources tell NY1 one of the teens was the intended target and that a group of men followed him before opening fire.
No arrests have been made yet.
Anyone with information on the case should contact the Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS, or text CRIMES and then enter TIP577, or visit www.nypdcrimestoppers.com.

Over ambitious and as a result, super buggy. It is becoming increasingly evident that Bethesda is attempting to create next generation games on current gen consoles. The sad thing is they are only going to try and add even more and continue to release bugged games when the next gen finally does come around.
And the public were the official beta testers for Skyrim.
The game is huge and rich with lore and content but 9 or so patches later and it still suffers terribly from bugs. Especially the infamous ash piles that have been 'fixed' 3 times yet still never disappear even on a new game.
It gains points for being First Person though. I HATE Third Person games with a passion, they always feel so impersonal. Third person and immersion? Impossible.
Ultimately Skyrim is like the girl you desperately love but she keeps f#cking other guys behind your back and ends up giving you the clap

HIV stands for the Human Immunodeficiency Virus, and is the virus that causes AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome). It is a virus that attacks the immune system.
Over time, and without treatment, HIV gradually destroys the body's defenses against disease, leaving it vulnerable to many infections and cancers that do not normally develop.
Even without treatment, some people living with HIV have no symptoms; some have mild health problems, while others have severe health problems associated with AIDS.
Read MoreAIDS is a late stage of HIV disease. By the time of an AIDS diagnosis, HIV has already seriously damaged the body's immune system. Often, a person living with AIDS will already have had life-threatening infections or cancers.
It usually takes 10 years or more for an HIV infection to turn into AIDS. However, anti-HIV medications can radically interfere with HIV's destruction of the immune system and lengthen a person's life expectancy. With proper treatment, some people now living with HIV may never develop AIDS and can live a normal life span. Studies suggest that starting treatment early in the course of infection can significantly improve long-term treatment success.
HIV is a virus. AIDS is a condition brought about by the virus HIV. You can have HIV without having AIDS, but you cannot have AIDS without having HIV.
HIV can be transmitted from an infected person to another through:
Blood contains the highest concentration of the virus, followed by semen, followed by vaginal fluids, followed by breast milk.
Sexual intercourse (vaginal and anal): In the genitals and the rectum, HIV may infect the mucous membranes directly or enter through cuts and sores caused during intercourse (many of which would be unnoticed). Anal and vaginal intercourse are high-risk practices.
Oral sex (mouth-penis, mouth-vagina): The mouth is an inhospitable environment for HIV (in semen, vaginal fluid or blood), meaning the risk of HIV transmission through the throat, gums, and oral membranes is lower than through vaginal or anal membranes. There are documented cases where HIV was transmitted orally, so we can't say that getting HIV-infected semen, vaginal fluid or blood in the mouth is without risk. However, oral sex is considered a low risk practice.
Sharing injection needles: An injection needle can pass blood directly from one person's bloodstream to another. It is a very efficient way to transmit a blood-borne virus. Sharing needles is considered a high-risk practice.
Mother to Child: Mother to child transmission is now rare in the US and other developed countries because pregnant women who are HIV-positive are normally given medications to prevent the fetus from getting infected. However, it is possible for an HIV-infected mother to pass the virus directly before or during birth, or through breast milk. Breast milk contains HIV, and while small amounts of breast milk do not pose significant threat of infection to adults, it is a viable means of transmission to infants.
The following "bodily fluids" are NOT infectious:
Primary HIV infection is the first stage of HIV disease, when the virus first establishes itself in the body. Some researchers use the term acute HIV infection to describe the period of time between when a person is first infected with HIV and when antibodies against the virus are produced by the body (usually 6- 12 weeks).
Some people newly infected with HIV will experience some "flu-like" symptoms. These symptoms, which usually last no more than a few days, might include fevers, chills, night sweats and rashes (not cold-like symptoms). Many other people either do not experience acute symptoms, or have symptoms so mild that they may not notice them.
Given the general character of the symptoms of acute infection, they can easily have causes other than HIV, such as a flu infection. For example, if you had some risk for HIV a few days ago and are now experiencing flu-like symptoms, it might be possible that HIV is responsible for the symptoms, but it is also possible that you have some other viral infection.
There are no common symptoms for individuals diagnosed with AIDS. When immune system damage is more severe, people may experience opportunistic infections (called "opportunistic" because they are caused by organisms which cannot induce disease in people with normal immune systems, but take the "opportunity" to flourish in people with HIV). Most of these more severe infections, diseases, and symptoms fall under the Centers for Disease Control's definition of AIDS. The median time to receive an AIDS diagnosis among those infected with HIV is 7-10 years.
The time it takes for a person who has been infected with HIV to seroconvert (test positive) for HIV antibodies is commonly called the "Window Period".
Recent studies show that a test taken at least 12 weeks (3 months) after the last possible exposure to the virus provides highly accurate results. Based on those studies, many testing clinics in California and other places use a 3 month window period. Rarely, a person could take up to six months to produce antibodies and that is almost always a person with a severely compromised immune system due to another disease, such as leukemia.
If you test negative on an antibody test taken 3 months or longer after your last possible risk of possible exposure to HIV, you can feel safe in assuming that you do not have the virus. If for some reason you feel anxiety about relying on the 3-month result, you could opt to have another test taken again at 6 months.
The combination of an Elisa/Western Blot HIV Antibody Test is the traditional testing method for HIV infection. This combination test is looking for the antibodies that develop to fight the HIV virus. There are two ways to conduct this test. Either through a blood draw or through the "Orasure" method (a sample of oral mucus obtained with a specially treated cotton pad that is placed between the cheek and lower gum for two minutes). Both forms, by blood draw or orally, have the same accuracy with their results.
Another type of test that you may hear about is called "Oraquick," sometimes known as the "rapid test." This HIV-1 antibody test offers results that are highly accurate and the results can be determined within 20 minutes. It provides same day results and counseling. You should however be aware that if the results of the test come out to be "preliminary positive," there is a high probability that you have HIV, but it will be necessary to have a confirmatory test to be sure.
Some testing locations in California charge for this type of test, but there are some locations that will provide the test for free.
Other tests that you will hear about are Viral Load tests. These tests are used by physicians to monitor their patients who have already tested positive for HIV antibodies. Viral Load tests are very costly and have never been approved by the FDA for HIV status diagnosis because of the possibility of false-positive and false-negative results. Therefore, they should not be used to determine if one is HIV-positive.
Note: A person who tests positive on a Viral Load cannot obtain a letter of HIV diagnosis based on those results. They must still test positive on an HIV antibody test in order to get the diagnosis. A letter of diagnosis is required to register with most AIDS Service Organizations and to qualify for many governmental assistance programs.
Anonymous and Confidential use the same testing method. The only difference is one does not have your name attached to the results.
Anonymous antibody testing is available at Anonymous Test Sites in some California counties. Anonymous testing means that absolutely no one has access to your test results since your name is never recorded at the test site. It is always a good idea to contact the testing clinic directly to confirm what type of test is available.
Confidential antibody testing means that you and the health care provider know your results, which may be recorded in your medical file.
A positive result means that:
A negative result does NOT mean:
Testing positive for HIV means that you now carry the virus that causes AIDS. It does not mean that you have AIDS, nor does it mean that you will die as a result of the infection. Although there is no cure for AIDS, many opportunistic infections that make people sick can be controlled, prevented or eliminated. This has substantially increased the longevity and quality of life for people living with HIV.
The short answer is yes. There are things that you can do to stay healthy.
Emotional support may be very important for HIV-positive people because it breaks the isolation and provides a safe way of sharing both feelings and practical information.
Medical Care: Once you find a primary care provider, your main objective is to get an evaluation of your general health and immune function.
Many doctors do the following:
If you are already infected with one or more of these other illnesses, there may be treatments or prophylaxis available to prevent it from becoming more serious or recurring in the future. If you are not already infected, doctors may be able to prevent future infection by:
Although there have been many advances in HIV treatments and therapies in recent years that have dramatically improved the quality of life and life expectancy of persons with HIV/AIDS in the U.S. and other developed countries, there is, as of yet, no cure.
