Samenvatting | BACKGROUND: This thesis is based on the result of a study of the impact of World Vision Mongolia's five year Nutrition Project which was implemented in the poor nomadic areas of the Selenge province of Mongolia. OBJECTIVE: The general objective of this thesis is to analyse the child nutritional status in Selenge province since the project implementation and assess whether the changes in child nutritional outcomes were associated with the nutrition project interventions. FINDINGS: The implementation of the Nutrition Project contributed to the improvement of the child nutritional impact and nutritional status of children under five and mothers despite their poor socio-economic condition. The Nutrition Project reached its goal of elimination of severe PEM and 50% of reduction of moderate PEM among children under five. The mean prevalence of stunting decreased from 16.4% to 6.4%. Underweight and wasting declined from 5.1% to 1.8% and from 2.2% to 0.6% respectively. Project was unable to achieve its target to reduce anaemia by 30% but did achieve its target to reduce 30% of the prevalence of rickets. CONCLUSION: The implementation of the WVM Nutrition project was associated with improved child macronutrient nutritional status but not with micronutrient nutritional status in the nomadic soums of Selenge province. In terms of the supplementation, the project almost achieved its target coverage 80%. RECOMMENDATION: Define the project specific target group as children under two. |

Facing AIDS
Facing A.I.D.S
By Lee Loving 11/10/09 HIV/AIDS prevention is a new field, only 25 years old, and it is arguably one of the most important professions out there. Preventing sickness is as important as any treatment. The prevention of this disease with a 100% mortality rate is desperately important in all communities. HIV is not a "Gay Disease", but a human disease. If you are human, no matter who you are or where you come from you can get this disease. Explaining it like that, but I want you the reader to understand the gravity of this issue. This statement is not meant to evoke fear but instill understanding of the importance of HIV Prevention. In the last 25 years, newer and better drugs have been produced that extend the lives of those living with HIV. But drugs are not a cure, they come with side effects, compounding costs, and their effectiveness will always fade with time. The immune system eventually falls to the virus, and the illness is renamed when B and T lymphocyte counts drop below 200 to AIDS. This virus does not kill directly, but allows a whole horror house of other infections in. Viruses and bacteria that the body normally fends off with ease can cause life threatening results. The common cold can be fatal. Education is the most important aspect of HIV prevention, a lot of stigma surrounds this disease. People who are infected can be shunned and driven out of their homes, jobs and relationships. Understanding that HIV+ people are still people regardless of their status and should still be included in society greatly helps reduce the risk of HIV+ people participating in high risk behaviors, like having unprotected sex, out of fear of rejection. HIV is not spread through casual touching, like shaking hands, hugging, or kissing. How the virus does enter the body is through sex, via ejaculate, vaginal and anal secretions and blood to blood contact .For example when a person has unprotected sex; if a HIV+ woman breast feeds her baby. The virus can also pass from a pregnant woman to her unborn child; if an Intravenous-Drug-User shares a needle with someone who is positive; if blood from a positive person gets on an open wound. These are the major ways HIV is spread from one person to another. According to the CDC database, HIV may be an offshoot of another similar virus that affected primates like chimpanzees called SIV (Simian Immunodeficiency Virus). This virus most likely made the jump from chimps to humans due to the bush meat trade, Due to little or no food, tribes would sometimes eat chimps and other primates. During the butchering process, small nicks and cut would allow an infected chimp's blood to mingle with a humans, a person would get sick and possibly die. Over time it is possible that the virus adapted to our physiology and began to pass from human to human, becoming HIV. This is the best theory that has been offered about the origins of HIV. Unfortunately, silence has surrounded this virus. In 1981 the first case diagnosed in a gay man, leading doctor to incorrectly naming it GRID (Gay Related Immune Deficiency). It was later proven that the virus did not originate due to homosexual behavior, however despite the evidence given to uphold this fact, it is still known as a "gay disease" in some parts of this country. I am talking to Javier Rios, MPower Coordinator and New Mexico AIDS Services Tester. Javier has been the coordinator for ABQ MPower for the past four years. He is also a former Spanish professor of UNM. He is openly gay, 32 years old and has a partner which has been with for the past year. Due to confidentiality restraints I am not allowed to watch Javier as he is testing, so I visit him at his office at MPower. That is where I held my interview, trying to better understand how an organization like MPower gets organized and understand the true impact of AIDS prevention and counseling. MPower is a group targeted at preventing the spread of HIV and other STD's in young gay men between the ages of 18-29, through education and building a since of community and self-esteem. This chapter is one of many in the country, and is one of the best in the nation. ABQ MPower has been around since 1997. ABQ MPower is a peer lead and volunteer run group. How did you get into HIV prevention? I had seen an ad in the Alibi for a job at NMAS, while I was in graduate school at UNM, I applied and was hired. How did the Empowerment project get its start in Albuquerque? The Empowerment project, a prevention based program, which started out of the University of San Francisco in California. ABQ MPower was part of a one year pilot program that was targeted at young gay men 18-29, who are at high risk of infection. There were empowerment pilot programs in Austin, TX and Phoenix, AZ that started around the same time. A year later, MPower was adopted by New Mexico AIDS Services, where it receives its funding today. Are there any government sponsored HIV programs? The Department of Health is a government funded program and NMAS receives money from them and through NMAS MPower receives its funding. What are some of the strategies that have been successful in HIV prevention? The one that I think that has been the most successful is peer led education. When you come to MPower and sit in on a meeting, you begin learning how to protect yourself. Then you take what you learned from MPower out in to the world and share it with others. What things have inhibited success of prevention programs? Mainly homophobia and a lack of awareness and ignorance. What is it like to have to tell someone they are HIV+? It's sad. I also try to give people hope. Explain that being HIV positive isn't' a death sentence and make it into a positive experience, by helping them own their status. NMAS offers programs that help them in making lifestyle changes, through different community education workshops. What is the syringe exchange program? This is a program design to reduce the rate of HIV infection in IDU's or Intravenous Drug Users 18 and older. People come in with their used syringes and exchange for clean ones, for a one to one ratio. People are also given information about safer injection, better vein care, risk and harm reduction practices, information on HIV/STD's and hepatitis, abscess and wounds care, drug reactions, better nutrition, drug treatment options, safer sex practices, and other health issues are also available. How important do you feel programs like this one? Very important, but I feel we should be able to start educating kids while they are still in middle school. It is a very important time in their lives. Some people have told me that have had sex even before they have reached high school. How does HIV affect different communities, is the same for every community or is one group affected more than others? Even though HIV isn't a gay disease, it is still widespread in the gay community. It's the same for minorities, if you are gay an a minority your risk for infection also increases I was able to tour the NMAS facility after business hours and I was able to get a firsthand look at where the organization of HIV prevention meets the public. HIV prevention is not only about condom, but also encouraging those living with HIV to learn to be responsible for their health and to want to protect the health of others as well. Tools of the Trade Source NMAS There are many tools at the disposal of HIV prevention, the first are the tests that help keep track of the virus and which communities most affected. There are two main test performed to detect the presence of HIV. The first is the blood test. A small sample of blood is taken from the individual, and then cultured in a lab, searching for the HIV antibody. Blood tests can also give information about viral load; how much virus is in your body at a given time. The test can also tell you which viral strain you are infected with, because different strains can require different treatments, as well as can give you a white blood cell count The second test is the OraSure HIV-1 Specimen Collection Device. This is the test preformed most often at NMAS. The test consists of a cotton pad with a ractive substance on the end. The pad is rubbed against the sides of the mouth for 15 seconds, then left to sit inside the mouth, between the cheek and gum for 2 minutes and 45 seconds. It requires no blood and is painless. After the test the pad is inserted into a preservative fluid and sent to the lab and results takes two weeks. This test is designed to react to the presence of the HIV-1 Antibody. You are given a number that is matched to the test, so you can find you results. And it is completely anonymous and confidential. Both tests are 97% effective. The OraSure Western Blot is the confirmatory test for the OraSure test; it takes materials from the other test and also detects the antibodies for HIV-1. If an Orasure test comes back with a positive result, but the western blot comes back negative, the status is also negative, but the individual is encouraged to retest in 3 months time. Retest is also encouraged if the western blot comes back inconclusive. If the Orasure comes back positive and Western Blot also comes back positive, a HIV+ is given the person ethnicity and sexual orientation and other factors are recorded to keep track of the virus as it moves through communities. Another very important tool is the condom. Condoms are 98.6% effective in not only preventing pregnancy, but also preventing the spread of HIV. There are five bodily fluids that can transmit HIV; breast milk, semen, vaginal/anal secretions and blood. Four of these can be prevented from entering the body via sexual intercourse with a condom. Teaching correct usage, storage and disposal are very effective in reducing HIV infection rates. Lastly the people involved are really instrumental in HIV prevention. The doctors, nurses, preventionist, caseworkers, counselors and volunteers; people who take the time to educate the general public and works to prevent the spread of HIV and other diseases in their communities. Prevention continues to be very important even among those living with HIV, teaching them how to protect themselves and to care about the health of others. NMAS offers Community education programs for people who are positive like: Next Step A workshop for those living with HIV and their partners, families and friends. Topics include: How HIV affects the body, HIV transmission, safer sex, universal precautions and sharing a household, how HIV medications work and why adherence is important. SHAG (Sexy Healthy and Gay—Men's group) (Sexy Healthy and Glamorous—Women's group) (Sexy Healthy and Great—Men and Women's group) A workshop for men and women living with HIV. A three day workshop for developing skills to reduce stress associated with disclosure of HIV status to friends, family and sexual partners. These skills help participants' decide if, when, Do It Right Dating and relationship workshops with barbeques, potlucks, guest speakers and more for HIV+ gay, bisexual, questioning men and transgender individuals over 30. According to the CDC, there are only 33 states with active status reporting, leaving 17 others, mainly in the south, without any kind of government assistance and many with people living with HIV without the care and support they need. Reports given since '01 – '06 Show that while there are people are living longer and HIV/AIDS related deaths are declining, but infection rates are still on the rise in the U.S. Red Ribbons and Politics "When one of our fellow citizens becomes infected with HIV every nine-and-a-half minutes, the epidemic affects all Americans. That is why I have pledged to develop and implement a comprehensive National HIV/AIDS strategy (NHAS) that will focus on reducing incidence, increasing access to care, reducing HIV-related health disparities. The Nation HIV/AIDS Strategy will also increase awareness, and promote greater investment in prevention and treating HIV/AIDS in the U.S." President Barack Obama June 27th 2009 National HIV Testing Day The Obama Administration has put out a "Call to Action". The White house has held town hall meetings all over the country, asking citizens how best to implement this plan. Everyone who wanted to speak, were given two minutes to make their recommendations and voice their concerns. The thing that kept being brought up was the complete lack of a universal, comprehensive and inclusive Sex Education program. Many parts of this country, there are abstinence programs that continue to operate. These programs do not talk about condom use or harm reduction. Some of the HIV+ people that spoke at the town hall meeting said that if they had received proper understanding of the risks and given ways to protect themselves when they were younger, they might not be positive today. REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT AT SIGNING OF THE RYAN WHITE HIV/AIDS TREATMENT EXTENSION ACT OF 2009 Diplomatic Reception Room Excerpt "We often speak about AIDS as if it's going on somewhere else. And for good reason — this is a virus that has touched lives and decimated communities around the world, particularly in Africa. But often overlooked is the fact that we face a serious HIV/AIDS epidemic of our own — right here in Washington, D.C., and right here in the United States of America. And today, we are taking two important steps forward in the fight that we face here at home. It has been nearly three decades since this virus first became known. But for years, we refused to recognize it for what it was. It was coined a "gay disease." Those who had it were viewed with suspicion. There was a sense among some that people afflicted by AIDS somehow deserved their fate and that it was acceptable for our nation to look the other way. This fight is long from over, but we have learned much in the last 25 years, but as new therapies are developed the virus continues to evolve new resistance against them. Silence is this diseases greatest ally. Education is the only weapon we have so we can face it without fear. We must face it, because ignoring it won't make it go away." The president has cut Abstinence Only programs by over $160 million for more comprehensive sex education, and has signed the fourth extension of the Ryan White CARE act. This law was named after a 13 year old Indiana boy who contracted AIDS through a blood transfusion. This bill helps people in the hardest hit communities, who cannot afford the cost of their life sustaining medications, get the treatment they need. Among the hardest hit include the homeless, African Americans and the GLBT community. This bill was co-sponsored by the late Senator Ted Kennedy (D-Mass) and Senator Orrin Hatch.

Game Masters: Behind the Talent
Join us for a two-week journey chronicling some of the video game industry's most celebrated game designers!
Tim Schafer: "It's about creating personal games."
Our first featured Game Masters developer is legendary adventure game master Tim Schafer.
Schafer began his industry career as a tester at LucasArts on the early Indiana Jones games, before becoming a writer and programmer on The Secret of Monkey Island (1990). While at LucasArts, Schafer worked on adventure game classics such as Maniac Mansion: Day of the Tentacle (1993), Full Throttle (1995), and Grim Fandango (1998). He left in 2000 to found his own studio, Double Fine Productions, releasing Psychonauts (2005) thereafter.
In 2008, Schafer teamed up with comedian Jack Black for the well-received heavy-metal-inspired title Brütal Legend (2009), before shifting gears to work on smaller titles, including Costume Quest (2010), Stacking (2011), and Iron Brigade (2011). Double Fine's latest game, Double Fine Happy Action Theatre (2012), was released on the Kinect.
Earlier this year, Double Fine raised $3.3 million through the crowdfunding platform Kickstarter to create a new point-and-click adventure game. The studio is also working on a new side-scrolling adventure game called The Cave, due for release on XBLA, PSN, and PC in 2013.
Check out our interview with Tim Schafer after a few words from the man himself:
GameSpot AU: Tim, you've been making games for, like, a zillion years. What do you think the gaming industry needs right now to evolve?
Tim Schafer: Things like developers being able to control the prices of their games, and more of a focus on digital distribution. Artistically, I would like to see games tackle subject matter outside of the realm they normally do: so, for example, I'd love to see more games be about more varied emotional things that happen in peoples lives outside just action and combat.
GS AU: Is there room in the industry for individual creative visions, rather than those crafted by a team of developers? Can we have a games industry equivalent of a Quentin Tarantino or a David Lynch, creating games that are uniquely theirs?
TS: I think so. The sorts of games I make, even though theyre great collaborations with a lot of talented artists and brilliant people that I get to work with, I still try to make them unique. I think the word auteur--and maybe Im misusing the term--can be applied to both an individual and a group. So for example, the team at Double Fine could be an auteur in that they making something thats a personal or artistic expression that only Double Fine could make.
What Id love to see more of in the industry is games that look like they can only be made by one development studio you know, because theyre so unique and have the stamp of that particular studio and the people who created it.
There are some great artists and technicians and actors out there, and while they're all collaborating together, you know when youre looking at a David Lynch film. It doesnt sound very proletariat to say that an individual should be modified in that way, but I think if you ever stood in the middle of a house designed by Gaudi in Barcelona or watched a David Lynch film youd see that there is an intense pleasure in being inside of the unique imagination of one creative individual. I think theres something really special about that.
GS AU: What has become easier throughout the years as the gaming industry has grown?
TS: I think the fact that you slowly become a little more confident in your own ideas. I think when you do something creative it's natural to edit and censor yourself and be afraid to expose your vulnerable ideas to the public--they could be cruel and laugh and they might make fun of your ideas. I think as I get older I feel less afraid of coming out with anything that I feel I can. Thats a very liberating thing. Like when youre the shy kid in school, you worry about what you wear but as you get older you stop caring. I think thats true creatively too. Every year we learn a little more about working with other people. I think when youre doing creative collaborations its critical to learn how to work well with other people so that you get the best of what your whole team has to offer.
It's also become a little easier to find out how youre doing with your game. You can get a lot more feedback about your game because of the internet and because of focus testing. It was a little harder in the 90s when we were a lot more isolated and we just had to wait for magazine reviews to get printed we didnt have these resources that we have now.
GS AU: Has anything become harder?
TS: I guess I feel it gets harder and harder to do original creative properties, at least in the mainstream. Games are getting more and more expensive, and I think people are getting more averse to risking their money. They want to place safer bets, like licenses and sequels. Luckily, I think the indie gaming community has stepped up and made a lot of creative games that have challenged that notion. Just like independent film has brought a lot more life to the film industry, I think that indie games are doing the same for the games industry.
GS AU: So you don't think the AAA space has opened up a little bit more to new ideas? Doesn't the popularity of some indie games in the mainstream space signal that things are changing and that people are welcoming new ideas?
TS: Whenever a game is successful, whether it's something like Limbo or Fez, it is a lot easier to get another game that looks just like it made the next year but thats not necessarily a good thing. It doesnt mean that games that are creative are getting signed--it just means that games that look like previous successful hits will be made.
No matter how successful a creative game is, it doesnt usually get abstracted into the thought that creative games sell.
GS AU: Where does the audience come into all this? How have audiences changed compared to audiences 20 years ago?
TS: I think that there are people who want games like they had when they were younger, when games were harder. I think people have sensed that games are getting easier, and I think that has brought new players that has not necessarily been a bad thing because theres a big diversity of players now.
There are some people who want games to be harder and others who want games to be easier, and I think the interesting thing is theyve found ways to get organized and demand the thing they want. That was our experience with [Double Fine's] Kickstarter project: fans got together and said they wanted an adventure game.
GS AU: There was a lot of discussion after your Kickstarter success around usurping traditional business models and changing the balance in existing publisher/developer relationships. Were these valid points? What do you think the industry can learn from Double Fine's success on the crowdfunding platform?
TS: It shows that there are avenues people havent thought of for creative funding. Some things make more sense on a smaller scale, and others make sense on a bigger scale. For example, a big publisher may not want to fund a graphic adventure. That's cool. But for fans, they don't care about that stuff, they just want to play the game. With Double Fine's Kickstarter, the fans managed to get organised and fund it themselves. It's not taking anything away from the publishers. It's brought more people to the market to play games in fact, so [this model] actually benefits publishers in the end.
I'm also happy to see other Kickstarter game projects are getting funded. I hope it's going to continue because I have lots of other ideas for games that would work for Kickstarter.
GS AU: If we move forward 20 years from now, what would you like the gaming industry to look like?
TS: I think it would be really great if games were really, really broad. I would like it if there was a game for everybody in the family--mum, dad, kids, middle-aged people, teenagers, etc. I also think it would be great if games were as emotionally-enriching as books are, and seen as something for the entire society and not just something purely for hardcore fans. I think games have something to offer everybody.
GS AU: Is it important for games to achieve mainstream recognition as an art form?
TS: Yes, mostly because I think it's a shame that people who have preconceived notions about what they are or what they can be are missing out on them.
Of course, there are practical considerations too: if games are considered art then they are treated a certain way by the government, and issues like censorship are handled differently. I would like games to be seen as having artistic merit for that reason. As for seeing games on the news only because of violence in gaming or something negative like that well, that's changing. Twenty years is about enough time for that to change, right?
GS AU: Here's hoping! Final question: What do you see as the role of the modern video game developer? Philosophically speaking
TS: I think the role of the modern game developer is to be brave, pursue new ideas, and follow inspiration to create games that are both entertaining as well as personal and meaningful.
Stay tuned for tomorrow's Game Master: Peter Molyneux!

Guidelines for Documentation for Attention Deficit Disorder
Students who are applying to Sauk Valley Community College, and enrolled students who are requesting support services and/or accommodations from the Student Needs Coordinator, are required to submit documentation to verify eligibility under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. This documentation should be current within three years, but exceptions may be necessary dependent upon individual circumstances and disability to be determined by the Student Needs Coordinator. The following guidelines are provided to ensure that the documentation is complete and appropriate.
Evaluator Qualifications
The diagnosis must be made by a licensed mental health professional and/or qualified physician. It is not considered appropriate for professionals to evaluate members of their families.
Diagnosis / Verification of the Attention Deficit
The documentation must include a clearly stated clinical diagnosis of Attention Deficit Disorder (Predominantly Inattentive Type, Predominantly Hyperactive-Impulsive Type, or Combined Type), based on DSM-IV criteria. It must include the need for services based on current levels of functioning in an educational setting. A school plan such as an individualized educational program (IEP) or a 504 Plan alone is insufficient documentation, but can be included as part of a more comprehensive assessment.
Diagnostic Report Guidelines
A brief note from a doctor is not sufficient to substantiate a diagnosis of Attention Deficit Disorder.
Documentation should be in the form of a comprehensive written report which should include the following information:
- Evaluator Information: Name, title, address, and phone number of the evaluator/s.
- Evaluation Date/s: Dates of the assessment; assessment must have been completed within the previous three years.
- Evaluation Instruments: The names and resulting scores of the instruments used in making the diagnosis. There should be indication that the DSM-IV criteria for ADHD were surveyed and which symptoms are endorsed. Other suggested rating scales/evaluation instruments include, but are not limited to, "The Copeland Symptom Checklist for Adult Attention Deficit Disorders," the "Wender Utah Rating Scale," the "Barkley Semi structured Interview for Adult ADHD," and the "Test of Variable Attention (TOVA)."
- Descriptive Written Report: A narrative description and interpretation of the diagnostic assessment which identifies how the attention deficit impacts academic performance, including quantitative and qualitative information which supports the diagnosis.

Based on what you've said, here's my attempt to correct my initial observations, withregards to your views of the standing state of all mankind, concerning Justice, not taking into consideration acts of Mercy. Again, please correct if there is something that sounds inaccurate to your way of understanding things:
a) Adam andEve are created innocent. Due to their act of Sin (rebellion), all furtheroffspring are generated in a corrupt physical, moral, and emotional state, witha predisposition to sin.
a 1) All lifethat is conceived directly from descendants of Adam and Eve – including unbornchildren, babies, children, adults, etc – unavoidably have this corruptphysical, moral, and emotional state, with a predisposition to sin.
b) Apredisposition to sin does not mean that one is forced to sin, but indicates that practically, they will, nevertheless, inevitably sin.
c) To sin, onemust reach an intellectual attainment of "accountability"
c-1) Thus,unborn children, young children, mentally handicapped adults are not "accountable",and therefore, do not sin.
c-2) All whoare "accountable" will inevitably sin.
d) All who sinin their mortal life deserve some degree of Everlasting Torment.
d-1) All whoare "accountable" will inevitably deserve some degree of Everlasting Torment

People have told me it has been defarbed (?) pretty well and the first time I took it out to an event several people in my unit got into a debate on whether or not it was an original (don't know if that's good or bad?). I do not know the maker. It is sound and intact. Rifle only... no sling, tools, or accessories. Price $500 plus shipping from NW Ohio (or you can pick it up if you want).

One jumped up and turned towards Spirit, wishing she'd stand still for just one moment, and repeated what he had just said, "why do they continue to condemn, argue over who's right and who's wrong - when will they understand 'I am' no matter how each paints me?" Spirit, moving as she always does replied, "it's that 'freedom of thought' thing you were so insistent on giving them on creation – it twists reality, complicates the simplistic, and blinds them to the light of truth." One, sighing and returning to his throne sits and replied, "so many concepts, bigoted separations based on self-serving creeds, confessions, and carefully-worded belief statements. Will they ever join hands, look inside of themselves and realize there is one me – no matter how they perceive me, no matter the manifestations – 'I am', I am One."
Spirit, while passing One, looked back and replied, "perhaps never – for them to comprehend who you are One will require that they first understand themselves and then the collective-purpose of humanity, the love of others is greater than the love of self – given that thought, yes, perhaps never." One stood, after a couple of steps (which brought him close to creation) he replied, "tell me then Spirit – how do we, we who collectively caused creation, help humanity to both understand and embrace their call to life?" Spirit replied – "perhaps we can encourage them to listen to some of the greatest spiritual humans creation has experienced and their words of wisdom." One said softly, "give me example." And so it was that Spirit shared the following:
"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened." Jesus. "There is no way to happiness, happiness is the way." Buddha. "I can see that in the midst of death life persists, in the midst of untruth, truth persists, in the midst of darkness, light persist. Hence I gather that God is Life, Truth, Light, He is Love, He is the supreme good." Mohandas Gandhi. God is One.
And Spirit continued: "The spiritual journey is individual, highly personal. It can't be organized or regulated. It isn't true that everyone should follow one path. Listen to your own truth." Ram Dass. "This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness." Dalia Lama. "Even as the fingers of the two hands are equal, so are human beings equal to one another. No one has any right, nor any preference to claim over another. You are brothers." Muhammad. Wisdoms are One.
One, returning to his throne heaving a sigh and leaning towards creation, responded to Spirit's shared "words of wisdom". One whispered, "each of these spirited humans have many who follow them, so how is it that there is so much anger and hate between them as obvious it is that they share the same truths?" Spirit replied, "each truth is twisted to bend the words of others so that the few who claim authority can control the many who simply seek hope, faith, and love. Humankinds sense of control remains centered on self while diminishing the value of others." One, once again begins to sob. If you are quiet – you can hear One's cry in the moans of dying children and the torment of war. We should be One.

The historic votes on Election Day in Colorado and Washington -- where, for the first time ever, a majority of voters decided at the ballot box to abolish cannabis prohibition -- underscore this new political reality.
Are elected officials listening? They ought to be. In Washington state, ending statewide marijuana prohibition proved to be as popular as was re-electing President Obama. In Colorado, legalizing cannabis was more popular than the President -- by a wide margin.
Specifically, Colorado voters approved Amendment 64, a constitutional amendment that allows for those age 21 or older to legally possess up to one ounce of cannabis and cultivate up to six cannabis plants in the privacy of their home. In Washington, voters decided in favor of I-502, which removes statewide criminal penalties for adults who possess up to one ounce of cannabis for personal use (as well as the possession of up to 16 ounces of marijuana-infused product in solid form, and 72 ounces of marijuana-infused product in liquid form). Longer-term, both measures seek to enact regulations governing the state-licensed production and sale of marijuana for adults.
These election results should not come as a surprise to anyone who has been paying attention. Nationwide polls by Gallup,
A 2012 survey by Rasmussen Reports found that 58 percent of respondents believed that it should no longer be a crime "for someone to smoke marijuana" in private. Supporters included one out of two Republicans as well as a majority of respondents of every age group polled, including 50 percent of those age 65 and older.
Separate polling Mason-Dixon Research further indicates that nearly three out of four Americans, including 67 percent of Republican voters' oppose the federal government's interference in statewide medical marijuana policies. In short, support for ending cannabis prohibition is growing among those of all political and ideological persuasions.
Moreover, voters' support for ending the criminalization of cannabis is not just limited to western states. In addition to the historic legalization votes in Colorado and Washington on Election Day, voters in Detroit and several other Michigan cities also decided overwhelmingly in favor of municipal ballot measures to legalize the possession and use of cannabis by adults. In Massachusetts, voters in more than 40 cities decided similarly on municipal ballot questions calling on lawmakers to either regulate marijuana like alcohol or to simply repeal cannabis prohibition altogether.
Americans are turning their backs on cannabis prohibition in record numbers for obvious reasons. The ongoing enforcement of cannabis prohibition financially burdens taxpayers, encroaches upon civil liberties, engenders disrespect for the law, impedes upon legitimate scientific research into the plant's medicinal properties, and disproportionately impacts communities of color. Furthermore, the criminalization of cannabis simply doesn't work.
Despite more than 70 years of federal prohibition, Americans' consumption of and demand for cannabis is here to stay. Voters' passage of Amendment 64 and Initiative 502 acknowledges this reality. These measures seek to stop ceding control of the marijuana market to untaxed criminal enterprises and seek to impose new, common-sense regulations governing cannabis' personal use by adults and licensing its production. Unlike the federal government, which continues to define cannabis as an illegal commodity that is as equally dangerous as heroin, voters recognize that pragmatic regulatory framework that allows for limited, licensed production and sale of cannabis to adults' but restricts use among young peoples' best reduces the risks associated with its use or abuse.
We've been told that elections have consequences. The results in Colorado and Washington -- as well as in Massachusetts and Michigan -- are apparent for all to see. The voters have spoken; they desire a new approach to marijuana.
Now it is time for the Obama administration to start listening.
Paul Armentano is the deputy director for NORML, the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, and is the co-author of the book, "Marijuana Is Safer: So Why Are We Driving People to Drink?" He resides in Vallejo, Calif.

The Red Bull X-Fighters are back in Brazil!
In 2008 the Red Bull X-Fighters came to Rio de Janeiro, the heart of Samba country.
The riders were impressed by the Brazilian dance moves and the Brazilian crowd was amazed by the spectacular fmx show. Jeremy "Twitch" Stenberg won against Mat Rebeaud, who did a mistake in the final and André Villa crashed badly, but luckily he overcame it without any injuries.
This time the Red Bull X-Fighters go to the literal heart of the country, to the capital of Brazil, Brasilia!

In the Schools: Galway teachers chosen to attend NASA Institute
Published Nov. 11, 2012
GALWAY — Galway Central School District science teacher Jim Reynolds and math teacher Carrie Herron were selected to attend NASA's Hurricane and Severe Storm Sentinel Teacher Institute this past summer at the NASA Aero Institute in Palmdale, Calif.
In alignment with NASA Education's vision to advance high-quality science, technology, engineering and mathematics education, the NASA Dryden Flight Research Center Office of Education, in collaboration with the Earth Science Project Office at NASA Ames Research Center, anchored six educators in a community of scientific practice during a one-week institute.
NASA is deploying two Global Hawk Unmanned Aircraft Systems to conduct the Hurricane and Severe Storm Sentinel missions, an Earth Science campaign from 2012-2014 to study how tropical storms form and develop into hurricanes.
The goal was to increase educator's core competency in delivering STEM content through interaction with NASA unique content, facilities and personnel.
Teachers attended technical briefs from HS3 scientists and engineers and pedagogy workshops in science as inquiry, engineering design and 21st century skills. Attendees learned about the science behind the mission, operations of the Global Hawk uninhabited aerial system and how to monitor the flights.
Experiences will be translated into classroom practice through the development of a thematic STEM module that is in context with the HS3 campaign, and aligned to common core math and national science standards.
The selected teachers toured NASA's Dryden's Flight Research Facility at Edwards Air Force Base, where they witnessed aeronautical engineers designing, testing and fixing multiple aircraft that are used for scientific research.
Pilots and crew chiefs presented the aeronautical design of the shuttle carrier, global hawk, ER-2 and SOFIA aircraft used by NASA for research missions.
Reynolds and Herron will develop NASA airborne research-based curriculum and student activities over the course of the year using the acquired knowledge and experiences.
Galway STEM students will be engaged in NASA's unique, airborne research-based missions and ascertain how math and science is an integral part of their lives. Continued...
The students will be the first in the nation to participate in HS3 lessons and use firsthand NASA data to further their scientific and research knowledge base.

Hey all,
So, I loaned my Sniper to a buddy. He returned it and told me the gauge wasn't working. When I tried to air it up, it started leaking from the ASA. If I switch the ASA on, the marker airs up, but the gauge jumps to something right off the scale. I've tried adjusting the reg; the needle on the gauge moves, but it's off the scale. Even at minimum, the needle sits around 300 PSI.
Is it the gauge, or do I have to pull the whole damn thing apart and start looking for a blown o-ring?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

if you zeroed out the gauge and its still showing over 300 psi then youll have to replace the gauge. as for the asa if its not a major leak then drop some oil into it.

Got it. That's done it. Thank man.

billie_morini wrote:The primary reason booties begin to smell is because they don't get dried thorougly. Here is what to do.
1. Clean the interior of the boots with a wet suit shampoo that contains nonoxynol-9. This is a proven anti-fungalcide. Many soaps and detergents contain it. The one I buy is called, "500psi Wetsuit/BC Wash & Conditioner" (http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-166/030124/Innovative-500psi-Wetsuit-BC-Wash---Conditioner.html). When you use it all the time and dry your booties completely all the time, you'll have no fungus growth and, therefore, no odor. If the booties stink a lot, then mix this stuff in real high concentration directly in the boot. Slosh it around a good while. Then drain, rinse, and go to step 2 below. By the way, where I live I can only surf using a suit and booites. I use this stuff on my suit, boots, and hat every time I finish surfing.
2. Dry the booties thoroughly every time after use/cleaning. I use a convection dryer from a hunting supply outfitter (http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/links/link.jsp?id=0006605810205a&type=product&cmCat=Search_Results_NYR&returnPage=search-results1.jsp&QueryText=dryer&N=4887&Ntk=Products&Ntx=mode+matchall&Nty=1&Ntt=dryer&noImage=0&_requestid=149329). They are presently on sale for $29.95 and worth every penny. My light weight booties dry in 5 hours. My heavy booties dry in 8 hours. Since I have been using these dryers, i have never had wet booties on the following morning. My booties don't ever smell either. Neoprene booties nearly close at the ankle around the upright dryer support. This significantly reduces air flow and booties won't dry. You must prevent a seal from forming between bootie ankle and dryer support. I've placed one 6 inch piece of 3/4inch tubing (PVC on one, galvanized metal tubing on the other) on each upright dryer support. They're held in place by rubber bands and allow air to circulate. I'm tinkering around with better ways to do this, but can send a photo to anyone that needs it. Just PM me.

Alternatively you could do what I do:
1. Keep your nose away from your booties
2. Get on with your life!

Snippet syntax Hi! I really like the concept of snippets (or clip text in other places). The development of your own snippets can save a huge amount of time.
The normal "New snippet" dialogue within the Snippets side bar is fine but can be quite slow if you have a large number of snippets to create. For example I am developing a snippet for ISO 8859-1 Symbol and Character codes for HTML5. I've done some R&D on the snippet file format. Its a standard XML text file with the following syntax: <Item Name="I understand" Flags="" ConfigEdit="" ConfigMacro="" ConfigsAssociate="" Text="I understand" Trigger="" Tip="" ShortcutKey="0" ShortcutVirt="0"/> The "Item Name" and "Text" tags are easy to understand. However, I would like to understand the other tags and what their default and allowable values might be. I would be happy to write up a short tutorial on snippets once I have this information. Regards, Peter

Oneida's girls volleyball team sweeps Vernon-Verona-Sherrill
Vernon-Verona-Sherrill opened the girls volleyball season with a sweep of Rome Free Academy on Wednesday. A torrid string of serves to start the match set the tone and coach Shawn Lynch's Red Devils won impressively.
Thursday was a different story as Oneida used six aces in the first game and superb play by Marissa Smith for a 25-20 win. Coach Cyndi Bobo's team followed that with 25-5 and 25-8 victories in the next two games clinched the match.
"Last night we smoked, (tonight) they got down on themselves," Lynch said.
Oneida fell behind 2-0 to start the match as Alexis Kavanaugh had a kill and Erin Confer had an ace for VVS. But Confer missed the next serve moments later and a Smith kill and two aces by Emily LaSalle sparked a 6-1 run for the hosts. The teams traded missed serves then Kati Relyea and Smith pushed the lead to 10-5.
Oneida went up 14-7 thanks to a great dig by Mary Sheridan before VVS rallied to tie the game 17-17. Kavanaugh had an ace, Sam Kogut had a kill and Erin Confer capped the run with a kill through a block. Oneida responded with a Smith kill. Katherine Clarke had a block to keep the run going. Smith added another ace and Rachel LaBrecque had a kill. Play went back and forth until Oneida closed out the first game then there was no more back and forth the rest of the night.
VVS did not have an earned point in the second game as Smith's four aces sparked Oneida's offense to an 18-4 lead. Seventeen of Oneida's points in the second game were earned - a remarkably high percentage - but the third game wasn't as good. Still, the hosts raced to a 9-1 lead with LaSalle having two aces to lead another balanced effort and VVS never got on track. Confer had a kill to draw the Red Devils with six at 9-3 but Oneida went on a 6-0 run to end any hope for a comeback. Clarke had two impressive blocks and Smith had two aces down the stretch to close out the match.
"I expected us to play well," Smith said after her nine aces and four kills, assists and digs led a balanced effort. "I was happy with my serves. I practice it and am good at it."
LaSalle was also happy and a bit surprised afterward.
"I knew we were going to play well, but I was nervous before," LaSalle said. "And Melissa was amazing."
VVS (1-1): Erin Confer 2k, 1ac, 2d; Alexis Kavanaugh 3k, 1b, 1ac, 1d; Kelly Breckenridge 1k, 1ac, 3d; Emily Brown 1b; Selena Haas 1k, 3as, 1d; Annabelle Willey 2d; Emily Vallee 1as; Morgan Lyman 3as. Continued...
Oneida (1-0): Mary Sheridan 7k, 1b, 1ac, 10d; Taylor Armstrong 1b, 1as; Summer Lancette 2k, 1d; Erica Kristan 1ac, 7as; Emily LaSalle 1k, 5ac, 6d; Rachel Labrecque 3k, 1as; Marissa Smith 4k, 1b, 9ac, 4as, 4d; Kati Relyea 5ac, 10d; Katherine Clarke 6k, 4b, 3ac.

Indie dance duo Matt & Kim opening for Passion Pit at sold-out Cleveland Masonic Auditorium show
Spend a few moments on YouTube with indie rock/power-pop duo Matt & Kim and you'll see this Brooklyn, N.Y., act will do just about anything for their music. That includes getting naked, as the band members did in Times Square for its MTV Video Music Awards-winning 2009 video "Lessons Learned."
For its recently released CD "Lightning," the twosome upped the ante in the video for lead single "Let's Go," which featured kooky scenes in a mall-like photography studio. The money shot is a topless family photo.
When it's pointed out to Matt Johnson (vocals, keyboards) that his partner, Kim Schifino (drums), is the one going topless this time, he explained, "That was interesting. I was in the bathroom. When I come back into the room everyone wasn't wearing a shirt, including Kim. There's also a baby that is breastfeeding, and I'm like, 'What did I walk into?' So I just pulled my shirt off and jumped right in."
Jumping right into the quintessential Matt & Kim sound is what the act wanted for "Lightning," which was recorded in their home studio. Johnson admits that is a direct contrast of the group's previous effort, "Grand." While he still likes that album, he points out that project was a polished affair that found the couple working with various producers in different studios crafting a sound that was decidedly not Matt & Kim.
Instead, when it came time to write the follow-up, Johnson and Schifino wanted to return to the lo-fi feel of 2010 album "Sidewalks."
"We recorded 'Sidewalks' in a bedroom at my parents' house," Johnson said. "It just has a certain amount of personality and character. It's a very unfiltered Matt & Kim because it was the two of us. So song-wise on 'Lightning,' that feel is in every song. Take for instance the song 'It's Alright,' which is one of our favorites and will be our next video.
"While it has sort of pop elements you can hear, it also has this personality of the live-sounding drums and not perfection. It's weird. I don't think perfection is always something to be pushed. Sometimes that loses the things that make us human."
Apparently being human is what the music-buying public wants from Matt & Kim. Listed on Entertainment Weekly's "The Must List," "Lightning" debuted at No. 1 on the iTunes Alt Chart and No. 3 on Top 200 chart.
The indie dance duo, known for their energetic live shows, performed on "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" before heading out on the road for two sold-out 2012 headlining tours. Now the act is supporting Passion Pit with a sold-out show Tuesday at the Cleveland Masonic Auditorium.
When asked what's next for the act, Johnson said Matt & Kim aren't the kind of band that makes goals. Instead, the group takes whatever opportunity is presented and doesn't look back. Fittingly, it's the same kind of adventurous spirit that defines their music. Continued...
"I feel the key is not worrying about putting yourself out there," Johnson said. "We don't play it conservative, try to play it too cool or try not to embarrass ourselves. Sometimes I say I embarrass myself for a living just because I always don't want to over-think things. I just want to do what happens. And sometimes those things get caught on YouTube."
Who: Matt & Kim opening for Passion Pit.
When: 8 p.m. Feb. 19.
Where: Cleveland Masonic Auditorium, 3615 Euclid Ave., Cleveland.
Tickets: sold out.

Another cool feature is the social addition of being able to choose a sharing method that you can link to the Google Play store by long pressing. This being said the new features and content requires the Jelly Bean version of Google Play which is currently only available on the Google Nexus 7 tablet and a few Galaxy Nexus devices after Jelly Bean update.
Of course over at XDA they have ripped out the Jelly Bean Play store from the Galaxy Nexus and made it available to the general public. All you need to do is literally download the Google Play apk below and install it on your Android device to use all of the new features and content.
