BORN to a peasant family in northeastern Tibet in 1935, Lhamo Thondup was only two years old when he was recognized as the 14th Dalai Lama and renamed Tenzin Gyatso (shortened from Jetsun Jamphel Ngawang Lobsang Yeshe Tenzin Gyatso). From childhood, he was trained as a monk, and as a teenager, he became the head on Tibetan government in their fight against the occupying forces of the People's Republic of China. He has been the leader of the Tibetan government in exile since he fled to India in 1959. He has traveled the world to speak about peace, the welfare of Tibetans, the environment, Buddhism and science, women's rights and economics. In 1989, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his non-violent struggle for the liberation of Tibet and became the first Nobel Laureate to be recognized for his concern for global environmental problems. From July 5-7, 2015, hundreds of well-wishers attended the three-day Global Compassion Summit to mark the spiritual leader's 80th birthday at the Anaheim Honda Center and the University of California, Irvine in Orange County, California. Special guests at the event included politicians, academics and celebrities who joined His Holiness for discussions related to global compassion, creativity and the arts, youth leadership and climate change. Tokyo Journal Executive Editor Dr. Anthony Al-Jamie spoke with a number of these special guests about peace, compassion and His Holiness the Dalai Lama. tj

As one of the most iconic pop-rock bands of the '60s, the Beach Boys' vocal harmonies are among the most unmistakable, innovative and enduring in the history of rock and roll. They were the only group able to challenge the Beatles' success in terms of their overall impact on the Top 40. The Beach Boys had over 80 songs chart worldwide, including 36 U.S. Top 40 hits, which is the most by any American rock band. Four songs reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The GRAMMY Award-winning group is one of the world's best-selling bands of all time, with worldwide sales exceeding 100 million records. Rolling Stone magazine listed them as the 12th greatest artist of all time in 2004. The California quintet's original lineup ー consisting of the Wilson brothers, Brian, Dennis and Carl, as well as their cousin Mike Love and friend Al Jardine ー was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1988. The group's lineup has changed over the years and two of the Wilson brothers have passed away, but in 2012, for the band's 50th anniversary, all of the surviving members briefly reunited for a new studio album and world tour. The Beach Boys are no strangers to Japan, having first performed in Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka, Kyoto and Fukuoka in 1966. A look at the back cover of their 1966 album, Pet Sounds, reveals photos of the group in Kyoto, outfitted in traditional samurai costumes. Half a century later, the current lineup of the Beach Boys not only returned to perform six concerts at the new venue, Billboard Live Tokyo, but they also performed for the first time ever in Seoul, South Korea. Tokyo Journal Executive Editor Anthony Al-Jamie talked to original member, singer, songwriter and activist, Mike Love, about the band's legendary career, his love for transcendental meditation and his fondness for Japan.
Don Lemon is the anchor of the weekday primetime show CNN Tonight with Don Lemon, as well as a correspondent for CNN's U.S. programming. After joining CNN in September 2006, Lemon has reported and anchored on-the-scene from many breaking news stories, including the inauguration of President Barack Obama, the deaths of Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston, the Sandy Hook Elementary School and Colorado eater shootings, the Boston Marathon bombing, the George Zimmerman trial, and the shooting of unarmed teenager Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. He has also anchored the network's breaking news coverage of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan, the Arab Spring and the death of Osama Bin Laden. He earned a degree in broadcast journalism from Brooklyn College and also attended Louisiana State University, beginning his career at WNYW in New York City as a news assistant while still in college. In 2011, he released his memoir, Transparent, in which he discusses how he suffered from abuse, homophobia, racism and discrimination as a young child. Ebony named him one of the most influential blacks in America in 2009 and he has won multiple awards, including an Edward R. Murrow Award and an Emmy Award. Tokyo Journal Executive Editor Anthony Al-Jamie talked to Don Lemon about his career and outlook on journalism.
The 2015 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded jointly to Japanese scientist Dr. Takaaki Kajita and Canadian scientist Arthur B. McDonald for the "discovery of neutrino oscillations, which shows that neutrinos have mass." Modern physics uses the Standard Model, which defines three differerent types, or "flavors," of a very small, elusive particle called the neutrino. In 1998, Dr. Takaaki Kajita detected neutrinos that were created in reactions between cosmic rays and the Earth's atmosphere inside the Super-Kamiokande detector, an experimental facility in a Japanese mine. Measurements showed deviations, which were explained by the neutrinos switching between the differerent "flavors." This is ultimately meant that neutrinos must have mass. As the Standard Model is based on the theory that neutrinos lack mass, this research meant that the model must be revised. Dr. Kajita was born in 1959. In 1981, he started his scientific career in the graduate program at the University of Tokyo, where he received his Ph.D. in physics in 1986. After graduating, he began working at the University of Tokyo's International Center for Elementary Particle Physics. In 1988, he moved to the University of Tokyo's Institute for Cosmic Ray Research and has served as its director since 2008. Tokyo Journal Executive Editor Anthony Al-Jamie talked to Dr. Takaaki Kajita about his contributions to the eld of physics.
On June 3, 2016, Muhammad Ali, three-time heavyweight champion and one of the most significant and renowned sports figures of the 20th century, passed away at the age of 74 after a long ght against Parkinson's syndrome. The self-proclaimed greatest boxer of all time, famous for his ability to "float like a butterfly and sting like a bee" in the ring, was also known for his efforts to promote peace and compassion outside the ring. His 1967 stand against the Vietnam War transcended the realms of faith and politics and resulted in Ali being arrested, found guilty of draft evasion charges and stripped of his boxing titles. However, he successfully appealed in the U.S. Supreme Court, which overturned his conviction in 1971. After retiring, he devoted his life to charitable work by promoting world peace and condemning bigotry — two things that all faiths could relate to. He met with Iraqi President Saddam Hussein and successfully negotiated the release of American hostages, served as a United Nations Messenger of Peace in Afghanistan, walked with Malcolm X, exchanged jokes with the Dalai Lama and lit the torch opening the 1996 Olympics.
While most Japanese university students spend their time wondering what part-time job to get or preparing for exams, Marin Minamiya, a political economy student at Tokyo's elite Waseda University, is testing her physical, mental and emotional boundaries while also breaking world records. On October 1, 2015, the 18-year-old became the world's youngest female to successfully ascend the world's eighth highest peak, Mount Manaslu in Nepal. She also became the youngest Japanese person to successfully climb a peak above 8,000 meters. By March 2016, she had already skied to the South Pole, climbed the highest peaks in Antarctica (Vinson Massif ), the Australian continent (Carstensz Pyramid) and Russia (Mount Elbrus). In May 2016, she became Japan's youngest to conquer Mount Everest and since then climbed North America's highest peak, Mt. Denali, becoming Japan's youngest to complete the Seven Summits ー the highest mountains on each of the seven continents. Just prior to her Mount Everest expedition, Tokyo Journal Executive Editor Anthony Al-Jamie talked with Marin Minamiya about the ups and downs of mountaineering and what lies ahead for the young adventurer.
Simply known by her first name, Sumire Matsubara is a Japanese actress, singer, dancer and model. The daughter of entertainers Junichi Ishida and Chiaki Matsubara, Sumire moved to Honolulu, Hawaii at the age of seven after her parents' divorce, as her mother wanted to shield Sumire from the press and start a new life. After her second year in the Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) Musical Theatre and Acting program at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Sumire returned to Tokyo to begin her career in the Japanese entertainment industry. Sumire has appeared in stage productions and on television throughout Japan, as well as in commercials, magazines and corporate events/parties. She also has begun appearing in U.S. television and film, including a guest role on the CBS drama Hawaii Five-0 as well as her upcoming Hollywood lm debut in The Shack, in which she will play the "Holy Spirit" alongside Sam Worthington and Oscar-winning actress Octavia Spencer. In 2015, she was the recipient of the Rising Star Award at the Asian World Film Festival. Tokyo Journal Executive Editor Anthony Al-Jamie met with Sumire to talk about her experiences with culture shock and her hopes to break stereotypes.
New Mexico native Charlotte Kate Fox made waves in Japan as the first non-Japanese heroine of the NHK television broadcaster's asadora [morning drama] series Massan (2014- 2015), taking on a challenging Japanese-language role with no prior Japanese experience. The role in the series, based on the Nikka Whisky Distilling Co.'s founder and his Scottish wife, made Fox a household name across Japan and launched her career in Japanese television, film, music and theater. Fox has also tackled roles back in the U.S., recently starring as Roxie Hart in Chicago on Broadway before touring with the international production to Japan. Tokyo Journal Executive Editor Anthony Al-Jamie sat down with Fox to talk about her experience living and working in Japan as well as her role in Chicago.
In Japan, a "vessel" is a metaphorical term referring to the sheer size of a building, or even the heart of a person. Throughout my career, I've often created designs inspired by a "vessel." This picture was taken at the Kyoto National Museum on October 9, 2015 at a Noh performance on the opening night of a fashion exhibition celebrating the 400th anniversary of the Rinpa school of Japanese painting. The costumes I designed were based on the Nishijin brocade, a traditional textile of Kyoto, and they were inspired by the "vessel" of the museum venue.

Revision as of 17:46, 11 September 2012
zh-CN:Cron Template:Article summary start Template:Article summary text Template:Article summary heading Template:Article summary link Template:Article summary end
From Wikipedia:
cron is the time-based job scheduler in Unix-like computer operating systems. cron enables users to schedule jobs (commands or shell scripts) to run periodically at certain times or dates. It is commonly used to automate system maintenance or administration [...]
cronie is installed by default as part of the base group. Other cron implementations exist if preferred, Gentoo's Cron Guide offers comparisons. For example, fcron, bcronAUR or vixie-cronAUR offer a wider range of features and configuration options.
Users & autostart
cron should be working upon login on a new system to run root scripts. This can be check by looking at the log in
/var/log/. In order to use crontab application (editor for job entries), users must be members of a designated group
users or
root, of which all users should already be members. To ensure cron starts on boot, add the
crond daemon to the daemons array of rc.conf, or enable
cronie.service if using systemd.
Handling errors of jobs
Errors can occur during execution of jobs. When this happens, cron registers the stderr output and attempts to send it as email to the user's spools via the
sendmail command.
To log these messages use the
-M option in
/etc/conf.d/crond and write a script or install a rudimentary SMTP subsystem (e.g. esmtp):
# pacman -S esmtp procmail
After installation configure the routing:
identity firstname.lastname@example.com hostname mail.myisp.com:25 username "myself" password "secret" starttls enabled default mda "/usr/bin/procmail -d %T"
Procmail needs root privileges to work in delivery mode but it is not an issue if you are running the cronjobs as root anyway.
To test that everything works correctly, create a file
message.txt with
"test message" in it.
From the same directory run:
$ sendmail user_name < message.txt
$ cat /var/spool/mail/user_name
You should now see the test message and the time and date it was sent.
The error output of all jobs will now be redirected to
Due to the privileged issue, it is hard to create and send emails to root (e.g.
su -c ""). You can ask
esmtp to forward all root's email to an ordinary user with:
~/.esmtprc with the same content.
Run the following command to make sure it has the correct permission:
$ chmod 710 ~/.esmtprcThen repeat the test with
message.txt exactly as before.
Crontab format
The basic format for a crontab is:
<minute> <hour> <day_of_month> <month> <day_of_week> <command>
- minute values can be from 0 to 59.
- hour values can be from 0 to 23.
- day_of_month values can be from 1 to 31.
- month values can be from 1 to 12.
- day_of_week values can be from 0 to 6, with 0 denoting Sunday.
Multiple times may be specified with a comma, a range can be given with a hyphen, and the asterisk symbol is a wildcard character. Spaces are used to separate fields. For example, the line:
*0,*5 9-16 * 1-5,9-12 1-5 ~/bin/i_love_cron.sh
Will execute the script
i_love_cron.sh at five minute intervals from 9 AM to 4:55 PM on weekdays except during the summer months (June, July, and August). More examples and advanced configuration techniques can be found below.
Basic commands
Crontabs should never be edited directly; instead, users should use the
crontab program to work with their crontabs. To be granted access to this command, user must be a member of the users group (see the
gpasswd command).
To view their crontabs, users should issue the command:
$ crontab -l
To edit their crontabs, they may use:
$ crontab -e
To remove their crontabs, they should use:
$ crontab -r
If a user has a saved crontab and would like to completely overwrite their old crontab, he or she should use:
$ crontab saved_crontab_filename
To overwrite a crontab from the command line (Wikipedia:stdin), use
$ crontab -
To edit somebody else's crontab, issue the following command as root:
# crontab -u username -e
This same format (appending
-u username to a command) works for listing and deleting crontabs as well.
To use nano rather than vi as crontab editor, add the following lines to your shell's initialization file (eg.
/etc/profile or
export EDITOR="/usr/bin/nano"
And restart open shells.
The entry:
01 * * * * /bin/echo Hello, world!
runs the command
/bin/echo Hello, world! on the first minute of every hour of every day of every month (i.e. at 12:01, 1:01, 2:01, etc.)
*/5 * * jan mon-fri /bin/echo Hello, world!
runs the same job every five minutes on weekdays during the month of January (i.e. at 12:00, 12:05, 12:10, etc.)
As noted in the Crontab Format section, the line:
*0,*5 9-16 * 1-5,9-12 1-5 /home/user/bin/i_love_cron.sh
Will execute the script
i_love_cron.sh at five minute intervals from 9 AM to 5 PM (excluding 5 PM itself) every weekday (Mon-Fri) of every month except during the summer (June, July, and August).
More information
The cron daemon parses a configuration file known as
crontab. Each user on the system can maintain a separate crontab file to schedule commands individually. The root user's crontab is used to schedule system-wide tasks (though users may opt to use
/etc/crontab or the
/etc/cron.d directory, depending on which cron implementation they choose).
There are slight differences between the crontab formats of the different cron daemons. The default root crontab for dcron looks like this:
# root crontab # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE MANUALLY! USE crontab -e INSTEAD # man 1 crontab for acceptable formats: # <minute> <hour> <day> <month> <dow> <tags and command> # <@freq> <tags and command> # SYSTEM DAILY/WEEKLY/... FOLDERS @hourly ID=sys-hourly /usr/sbin/run-cron /etc/cron.hourly @daily ID=sys-daily /usr/sbin/run-cron /etc/cron.daily @weekly ID=sys-weekly /usr/sbin/run-cron /etc/cron.weekly @monthly ID=sys-monthly /usr/sbin/run-cron /etc/cron.monthly
These lines exemplify one of the formats that crontab entries can have, namely whitespace-separated fields specifying:
- @period
- ID=jobname (this tag is specific to dcron)
- command
The other standard format for crontab entries is:
- minute
- hour
- day
- month
- day of week
- command
The crontab files themselves are usually stored as
/var/spool/cron/username. For example, root's crontab is found at
See the crontab man page for further information and configuration examples.
run-parts issue
cronie uses
run-parts to carry out script in
cron.monthly. Be careful that the script name in these won't include a dot (.), e.g.
backup.sh, since
run-parts without options will ignore them (see:
man run-parts).
Running Xorg server based applicatoins
If you find that you can't run X apps from cron jobs then use this prefix:
export DISPLAY=:0.0 ;
This sets the
DISPLAY variable to the first display, which is usually right
unless you run multiple X servers on your machine.
If it still doesn't work, then you need to use
xhost to give your user control
over X:
# xhost +si:localuser:$(whoami)
Asynchronous job processing
If you regularly turn off your computer but do not want to miss jobs, there are some solutions available (easiest to hardest):
Vanilla dcron supports asynchronous job processing. Just put it with @hourly, @daily, @weekly or @monthly with a jobname, like this:
@hourly ID=greatest_ever_job echo This job is very useful.
(AUR, forum thread): Script to automatically run missed cron jobs; works with the default cron implementation, dcron.
(AUR): Full replacement for dcron, processes jobs asynchronously.
Ensuring exclusivity
If you run potentially long-running jobs (e.g., a backup might all of a sudden run for a long time, because of many changes or a particular slow network connection), then lockrunAUR can ensure that the cron job won't start a second time.

Colvin homers twice as Rockies down Nationals
Denver, CO – Tyler Colvin hit a pair of two-run home runs to help the Colorado Rockies take an 8-3 win over the Washington Nationals in the opener of a three-game set.
Carlos Gonzalez smacked a three-run home run for the Rockies, who have won five of their last seven. Jhoulys Chacin (4-3) gave up two runs on seven hits with a pair of walks and strikeouts over five innings to get his first win since April 19.
"It's one thing to be here, but I know I can contribute to this team and help this team win," said Colvin. "Games like tonight justify why I am here."
Dan Haren (4-8) was tagged for five runs on eight hits over five innings for the Nationals, who won two of three at home against Minnesota over the weekend. Denard Span drove in a pair of runs and Ian Desmond added an RBI in the loss.
"This is a difficult place to pitch, but you have to be careful with the walks and there's a lot of room out there so the ball flys," said Haren. "But it's the same way for both teams so I'm not trying to make any excuses."
The Nationals grabbed the lead in the second inning as Span hit a two-run double to right field for a 2-0 lead.
Colorado had just two baserunners through the first four innings, but batted around in the fifth to surge ahead.
Wilin Rosario walked to start the frame and Colvin followed with his first home run of the year. Two batters later, Jordan Pacheco singled and Dexter Fowler followed with a double. After Nolan Arenado grounded out, Gonzalez turned on a 1-1 pitch and smacked it over the wall in left for his 18th home run of the season and a 5-2 lead.
The Nationals chipped away at the lead in the eighth as Jayson Werth led off with a walk, moved to second on an Adam LaRoche groundout and came home when Desmond punched a single to left for a 5-3 game.
Colorado, though, answered in the eighth on Colvin's second of the game, a two-run shot into the left-field stands. Arenado later grounded into a double play with the bases loaded for an 8-3 advantage.
Game Notes
Colvin, who made his first start of the year, has four multi-home run games in his career ... Chacin had been 0-3 in his previous seven starts and moved to 2-2 in four games against Washington ... Desmond has a 13-game hitting streak and is 17-for-50 during the run ... Haren is 0-5 over his past six starts and fell to 7-6 in 15 games against the Rockies ... After the game, the Nationals announced that they acquired pitcher Ian Dickson from the Chicago Cubs for pitcher Henry Rodriguez.

In The New York Times' "Room for Debate" forum, French literature professor Caroline Weber responds to the question, "Are French women more tolerant?" about the Strauss-Kahn scandal and French society's attitudes toward sexual misconduct by powerful men.
"In his recent portrayal of Dominique Strauss-Kahn as "seductive, yes — a friend to women," Bernard-Henri Lévy recycles a longstanding French political trope: women's putative reverence for masculine sexual prowess," she writes.
Read full response here.
Prof. Weber is a specialist in eighteenth-century French literature and culture, with particular emphasis on the Enlightenment and the French Revolution. Her book, Queen of Fashion: What Marie Antoinette Wore to the Revolution, was selected by both The New York Times and The Washington Post as a Notable Book of the Year.

It's a Small WorldHave you ever wondered what the degree of separation is between you and the person next to you in line at the grocery store?
Years ago a new family moved in next door to my family. After getting acquainted we made a fun discovery: the father was my mother's fourth cousin (or something like that). We even found his picture in a family history book belonging to my mother. Small world.
And then I remembered an old ancestor of mine—John Lathrop (or Lothrop, or Lothropp, etc.). A member of the English Anglican clergy, he was exiled to America in 1634 because of his independent thinking regarding the doctrine and practices of the Anglican church. After he arrived in the States, he had 5 more children, adding up to a grand total of 13. If you do any research about him, you'll find that he is EVERYBODY's something-great-grandfather. By that logic, I think I'm distantly related to several presidents of the United States, and probably several of you reading this. Hi cousins!
Speaking of being related—last month I ran into a woman at a genealogy conference who had a database that connected people to each other. Her goal was to show people how they were related in order to promote a greater sense of community, commonality, and cooperation.
Would that change your perception of others—knowing that you might be related? For me it kind of brings home the idea of a "human family." If everyone could see how intertwined our common ancestry is, would it really change human interaction? What do you think?

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Company Rescinded Job Offer to Recovering Drug Addict Because of His Disability, Agency Charged
RALEIGH, N.C. – United Insurance Company of America will pay $37,500 and furnish other relief to resolve a disability discrimination lawsuit filed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the agency announced today.
According to the EEOC's lawsuit, Craig Burns is a recovering drug addict who has been enrolled in a methadone treatment program since 2004. In January 2010, United Insurance offered Burns a position as an insurance agent in its Raleigh office, conditioned upon Burns' passing a drug test. After Burns' drug test showed the presence of methadone in his system, Burns submitted a letter to United Insurance from his treatment provider explaining that he was participating in supervised methadone treatment program and taking legally prescribed medication as part of the treatment. Upon receiving this information, United Insurance notified Burns that he was not eligible for hire and withdrew its offer of employment.
Such alleged conduct violates the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which protects employees and applicants from discrimination based on their disabilities. The EEOC filed suit in August 2011 in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina (Civil Action No. 5:11cv00430), after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement through its conciliation process.
In addition to monetary damages, the two-year consent decree resolving the suit requires United Insurance to conduct training on, among other things, an employer's obligation to conduct an individualized assessment in determining whether an employee or applicant is disabled under the ADA; appropriate methods of determining whether an employee or applicant poses a direct threat under the ADA; and the obligation to engage in an interactive process under the ADA when an employee or applicant requests a reasonable accommodation. United Insurance will also post a copy of its anti-discrimination policy at its headquarters in St. Louis.
"The ADA requires employers to make an individualized assessment of whether an individual can do the job rather than relying on fears or stereotypes," said Lynette A. Barnes, regional attorney for the EEOC's Charlotte District, which includes the Raleigh Area Office, where the original charge of discrimination was filed. "We are pleased that, in resolving this case, United Insurance is taking action to ensure that it fulfills its obligations under the ADA."
The EEOC is responsible for enforcing federal laws prohibiting discrimination in employment. More information about the EEOC is available on its website at www.eeoc.gov.

One thing that helped for me was that my Adventist community was school based. Since I was leaving the seminary and the church at the same time it was the natural thing to leave them all behind. When I got a job and settled briefly in Tacoma I was certainly at a loss socially, but I've never really had an easy time making friends anyway, so that wasn't new to me. Since moving to Boise I've found the atheist community here to be awesome, they certainly don't have the connections that your typical Adventist church does, but they're so much better.
I'm glad you found your way out of religion, the freedom of rational thought is truly incredible.
i worried about this too, it's so easy at church where the social community can be quite large and very effective at helping you but at the same time, because the rules are so strict and the culture so inclusive you end up being more exclusive and ignoring other social connections because they aren't adventist, so i find now that i actually have the same amount of friends and contacts but they're more natural, for example i'm much more friendly with my neighbours just for the simple reason that i don't mind being around people who smoke or drink or cuss or are hindus or muslims and the same can be said for people at work or at school, i think i can see people more for what they are and i don't hold their beliefs against them like i did when i was adventist...another point on your regret of your "wasted" year online with the evangelical former adventists, think of it as a declimatisation chamber, maybe you needed that year to get used to not being an adventist to be able to look at christianity from a more objective standpoint, i told myself i still believed in jesus for about 3 years after i left adventism, maybe it would have been too cruel a break-up for my still in-love-with-jesus heart, i don't think any of us in this group became an atheist in a cool or rational way, don't be too hard on yourself
Community is key! I quit believing in creationism in eighth grade. Let's call it Year 0. I quit believing in Adventism in 11th grade, Year 3. I quit believing in god entirely by my second year in college, Year 6. But it wasn't till I was a graduate student, Year 9, that I found the strength to come out as an atheist. What was it that finally got me over the hump? Community!
In my case, the rather odd but absolutely wonderful community known as the bronies, but I suspect any caring and supportive community would do! Oddly enough, studies have shown that bronies are more than twice as likely as the average American to claim atheism. Personally, I wonder if the real difference is that we are just more honest about it.
what are bronies?
Adult fans of the new "fourth generation" My Little Pony TV show. It's a goofy group. About 3/4ths men, almost all between 14 and 24, if that tells you anything. Mostly gamers or /b/tards or /co/mrads or part of some other group that lives and breathes on the web. I've not been running with them much for the past three or four months, but I can vouch for them as a super fun and accepting group!
Thanks for sharing, everyone. I enjoyed hearing about your experiences.
Interestingly enough, here I am, a year later, completely relocated to another part of the country, and in that very position of making new friends and meeting new people, without the instant set-up a church affords.
The neighbors have been super friendly, and I think Clinton was right - I'm more open to being friends with neighbors then I would have been as an Adventist. Without the time-suck of involved Adventist membership, I can direct more energy toward community involvement.
I became agnostic at 21 as a natural development, and began reading some books which helped me make the next rational step to Atheism. I think Clinton is right about the declimatisation chamber, that was agnosticism for me, and it was about a year too.
When i came out as an atheist to my parents it was a very, very bad idea. I wish I had simply let them think I was agnostic and never told them about all the things I resented from my childhood, because now they genuinely think that I have bipolar syndrome. For real, because I got upset and teary and let my heart pour out and then left home after recieving no sympathy, they think I have bipolar. I don't know how that works either to be honest, but whatever. Anyway so I've completely lost their respect and thus the respect of the church community, beause I stopped attending right about then, so from that time onwards all the people at church hear is what mum and dad say, so now I'm just one of those backsliders or as a friend of my dad's put it when describing his eldest son: "fools".
I feel as though the feelings back home (and completely baseless, unchangeable beliefs abaout me and how I apparently live my life and apparently wasn't a virgin before 18) is so bad that I'm not even sure if I can bare seeing my parents ever again, not to mention going back to that horrible country town. It's been about 9 months now.
So despite the chamber I still had the bandaid-rip seperation from community. It was, first a foremost, a huge relief. I have always hated church and all attached affiliates such as pathfinders. But as time went on there was still a hole in my heart (I think it's just lack of others to approve of me really) and these days I find myself on these forums more and more, to remind myself that there are others out there and I'm not alone.
My partner has been my rock thoughout this whole thing, I couldn't imagine what this would all have been like if I hadn't met him soon after leaving home.
I do think I will find my community one day, but at the moment I'm not really sure how.
Think of the online forums as kind of the second chamber. It was a very important step for me that coincidentally lasted about a year to a year and a half. However, eventually it's nice to be able to sit down and have a beer with like minded people. Australia seems to have a pretty decent atheist/skeptic community. If you'd like, I could get you in touch with some contacts I've developed thanks to my podcast and they could get you in touch with people where you live.
So glad to hear that you have your partner there for you! I didn't have that until very recently. I wasn't ready for it, really. I was too close to the church to have an atheist partner, but of course I couldn't date anyone who wasn't an atheist, either. Lucky for me, things timed themselves just right for me to meet the match of a lifetime. :)
I grew up in a smaller country town church that had a very close community. I still have very fond and happy memories of the friendships and support and yes, fun, we had in our little church. I sometimes wonder how long it would have taken me to leave if I'd stayed there, because i was immersed in the culture and community as much as the belief system. But I went off to the church college at the tender age of 17, and it was not the same at all, I felt lost and alone despite some good friends. That sense of community was broken a little and that actually made it easier for me to start addressing the serious questions about the beliefs I already had but was ignoring.
Once I left adventism I virtually broke all ties - I moved to a city where I knew no-one from the local church, and started a new life. I found it hard at first. I made new friends, but I did miss the 'community'. I also found it difficult to talk to the few old adventist friends with whom I kept in touch. Some of them have now left adventism, but some are still either immersed or what I call 'fence sitters'. It was also difficult when I went back to visit my family and saw people I cared about from my previous 'life' who I knew viewed me sorrowfully as a 'back slider' who had been exommunicated and struck off the books.
It took a long time for me to get over the loss of this community and some of the friendships, it felt like leaving a family. When I was studying psychology, I read a couple of books about the effects on people who leave cults, and I recognised some of what I went through at the time. I struggled with depression for some years.
I am older and wiser now, and have long moved on. I have many wonderful friendships. But here I am on this group because it is still good to connect with others who have been though this experience that is hard to explain to people who did not live it.

I blogged yesterday about a questionable women representation that got into Planet Ubuntu-fr.
I did not feed it into Planet Ubuntu-Women, or in Planet Ubuntu-Users. I also closed the comments, I already got into this kind of discussion (this fun, this is art, this is a (copyrighted) drawing, you have no humor, watch TV…) and heard it all.
As I stated, you can write, post, draw whatever you want in your private place, your home, your car, your blog, your site, your body, whatever you want. But a Ubuntu Planet, Forum, Mailing list, Wiki etc. is an official place, tied up by rules, representing the whole community. Women are no objects, neither are men, and Ubuntu spreads human values. This is one of the reasons that got me into it.
So I vented privately on my blog, and emailed Jono Bacon and Ubuntu Women mailing-list. Thanks to you, Matthias, probably thanks to you Jono, and Liz, and the ones in Sevilla who got the blog article removed from Planet ubuntu-fr.
It's still on the original blog, which is fine with me.
Doing this alone does not work. I know it. Thanks community.
Looking forward to an official editorial policy :)

About this font family
FR Hopper is the biggest release of Faberfonts Foundry since its opening. The project started as a quest for cool and neutral thin sans capital forms and proportions more than a year ago. Since then, lots of things have changed and have been added, and the project has grown into a project as complex and prolonged as nothing else before here in the studio of Faberfonts.
FR Hopper is a sans based on geometric forms still having a friendly personality. It is intended for mid-length texts, captions, titles and almost any other occasional use - posters, flyers and even for web sites. More…
FR Hopper comes in 7 weights, 12 styles with 836 glyphs - that means 10,032 glyphs ready to use for your projects - and many advanced OT-features such as small caps, discretionary ligatures, alternate characters, fractions, arrows, ornaments and more - in all styles.
It supports Extended Latin-A and Latin-B character sets and more than 100 languages. Italics are based on carefully slanted roman versions but come with many cursive characters drawn from the ground up. It provides enough of a difference to the italics to stand out successfully from the romans - or attract by their own charm. All the styles are hand-kerned carefully. As two of the styles - FR Hopper 430 and 431 - come as free fonts, you can download and test these before deciding to buy any other styles.

Here we are, now 37 years later, celebrating the 125th anniversary of Ocean Beach. The book, now in its 10th printing, by the way — and its contents are memorialized in Janis Ambrosiani's "Beach Town"-inspired mural proudly displayed on the Bacon Street wall of Newport Farms Market. It warms my heart each time I pass and see it so prominently featured. Thank you Janis, the Ocean Beach MainStreet Association (OBMA) and the many artistic Obeceans who contributed at this year's community street fair. Our family is honored and humbled by your gift.
I had the recent privilege of working with the OBMA's [executive director] Denny Knox, as well as the OB Historical Society's Susan James, on the production of an audiobook version of "Beach Town," which also debuted at the 2012 Street Fair. I had read the book, of course, when Grandma first wrote it, but I was a teenager at the time and didn't fully appreciate, or even remember ,its rich historical content and engaging stories.
What a pleasure it was reliving them while recording the vocal track! Truly the most rewarding voice project I've done during my involvement in voice-over work. What I appreciate the most, as a result, is the deep sense of community our Ocean Beach enjoys.
"Beach Town" is a part of the glue that binds us together. Many of today's OB residents fondly and proudly tell of ancestors noted in the book. My favorite example is in Chapter 9, "The Old Fishing Bridge." It tells the tale of precocious Dave Lewis, about how he and a couple of buddies speared a 300-plus pound sea turtle from the bridge. A gruesome endeavor, perhaps, to today's more fauna-friendly population, but an exciting event back in the day! Dave Lewis' descendants are still here in town and it thrills me that four generations later, Dave's great-grandchildren, Sterling and Sally, are making their own OB history alongside Ruth's great-grandchildren, Eddy, Alex and Grace. Sterling and Alex are "homies" for sure, and I've no doubt they'll find a way to be immortalized in print like their ancestors. Hopefully, that will be a good thing!
Sincere thanks to the OB MainStreet Association and the OB Historical Society, Denny and Susan, for helping my vision materialize. What a wonderful adventure!

My 3 Skypephone S2 at some point started to run out of battery after being on for about 20 hours or less. And this is not because a Java program crashed, which can be a reason, too. It was after a full charge over night and switching it off and on. Eventually it turned out the problem was that I had still activated the USB Modem setting in Connections. Once I turned it back to blue tooth mode and turned off bluetooth after that the problem was gone and the battery lasted a *lot* longer again. Anyways, the battery delivered with the phone seems to be not very good in any case, so you might want to get a new one. The big question is just: where?
Update: It works! The only problem is you need to leave out the battery at least over night afterwards.
If you like this, why not order a Three UK Sim with my agent link (or send the link to friends). You get an extra 5 quid or so AFAIK.

Central Connecticut senior Aaron Radden was tabbed as the Northeast Conference Men's Track Athlete of the Week for his performance at the Army Crowell Open on Jan. 5, the league announced Tuesday.
Radden opened the 2013 season with a first-place finish in the 60-meter dash in a field of 59 competitors. He completed the event with a time of 6.86, .07 seconds faster than in his 2012 NEC performance in which he placed second.
Radden's outstanding performance at Army makes him the first NEC sprinter to have surpassed the 60m qualifying standard for the 2013 IC4A Championships in Boston, MA.
In 2012, Radden set the CCSU record in the 55m (6.36), the 60m (6.82) and the 200m (20.96) events. He took first place in the 200m at the NEC Indoor Championships and qualified for IC4A competition with his time of 21.74. He broke the NEICAAA record for the 60m with his time of 6.82 at the New England Indoor Championships while placing first in the 200m with a time of 21.02.
This season, Radden looks to earn his third NEC title in the 60m and also defend his 200-meter NEC Indoor Championship title. Radden and the rest of the Blue Devils return to action Saturday, January 12 at the Yale Invitational in New Haven, CT.

Hunter not letting up in 18th big league season
LOS ANGELES -- Torii Hunter admits he might have lost "a half-step" at age 38, but that's about as far as he will go in concession to Father Time.
"I think I'm as good as I've ever been," Hunter said. "I'm an athlete, a five-tool player. There aren't that many of those. I can still do things I did as a kid; I can dunk a basketball. Why stop [playing]? I've been blessed with this talent, and I want to keep using it as long as I have it."View Full Game Coverage
LOS ANGELES -- Torii Hunter admits he might have lost "a half-step" at age 38, but that's about as far as he will go in concession to Father Time.
"I think I'm as good as I've ever been," Hunter said. "I'm an athlete, a five-tool player. There aren't that many of those. I can still do things I did as a kid; I can dunk a basketball. Why stop [playing]? I've been blessed with this talent, and I want to keep using it as long as I have it."View Full Game Coverage
Alighting in Dodger Stadium on Tuesday for a two-game Interleague series with the Dodgers, Detroit's right fielder was the fully engaged lightning rod the Angels and their fans came to love during his five years in Anaheim. Hunter sounded like a guy very comfortable with the idea of playing into his 40s.
He's wrapping up a two-year, $26 million free-agent deal he signed with the Tigers after the 2012 season. While the Tigers' policy is not to discuss contract extensions during the season, Dave Dombrowski, their president, CEO and general manager, doesn't hide his admiration of Hunter.
"They don't make 'em any better," Dombrowski said. "Torii's been tremendous, a true professional on and off the field. We couldn't ask for any more than he's given us.
"Generally, with our situation, we don't do many things during the season. The one thing we're focused on is to win during the season. I would doubt we'd do anything [contractually]. If we do one guy, other guys in that position will say, 'What about me?'"
Hunter has no problem playing the waiting game. He knows the prospective free-agent class of outfielders next winter is thin, and there are few who can do what he does on a consistent basis.
"I love it here," Hunter said. "I'll do whatever the team needs me to do. I hope we can work it out, but if we don't, I'll go back into free agency."
Dombrowski, in his 36th season in the professional game, owns a World Series title to go with all of his executive titles. That came with a 1997 Marlins team he molded as GM, moving to Detroit after the 2001 season.
Hunter has appeared in postseason play seven times. Twice -- with the 2009 Angels and the Tigers last October -- he came within two American League Championship Series victories of a World Series.
"I love this team, and I think we've got a shot at going all the way," Hunter said. "That's what keeps me going. I'll leave the individual stuff to the young guys. I've got my nine Gold Gloves and my Silver Slugger Awards [2009 and 2013]. I want that ring."
Hunter hit a career-high .313 in his final season with the Angels, and batted .304 with the Tigers last season. Suddenly, with a few adjustments, he is turning on pitches and launching them the way he did in his 20s in Minnesota, when he had six seasons of 26-plus homers, with a high of 31.
Through the first five games of his 19th Major League season, Hunter is driving the ball like Miguel Cabrera, his buddy. Hunter carried three homers and seven RBIs into the series opener against Dan Haren, his former Angels teammate.
"My defense always overshadowed my offense," Hunter said. "That's why the Silver Slugger Award means so much to me. I was hitting 29, 31, 28 homers [with the Twins], and everybody thought of me as a defensive player.
"As far as my hitting, I think I've gotten smarter. I've put a lot of time and work into it."
Hunter spent part of his winter studying video of other hitters, notably one of his Angels protégés, Mike Trout. This spring, Hunter began absorbing the wisdom of another popular Angels star of the past, new Tigers hitting coach Wally Joyner.
"Wally's been unbelievable, stressing staying inside the ball," Hunter said. "And I've been watching a lot of Trout video. That's kind of funny, him being my guy and all. Mike's such a great hitter. Totally different player from Miggy, though.
"It's not fair to compare those two guys. They're both great, in their own way. Trout does it all -- everything. But nobody can hit like Miggy. He's going to play out his contract, all 10 years, at first base."
Reworking his lineup to conform to the National League game, new Tigers manager Brad Ausmus had Hunter -- normally the No. 2 hitter in front of Cabrera -- in the No. 3 spot, Miggy dropping to cleanup. Swift Rajai Davis, customarily a catalyst in the No. 9 hole, assumed the leadoff role, with Ian Kinsler batting second.
Victor Martinez, the regular DH, took first base, hitting fifth. Cabrera returns to third base, where Nick Castellanos has made a big impression on Hunter.
"He's only 22," Hunter said, "and he can play. We're athletic, with Austin [Jackson], Davis, Kinsler going first to third."
The Tigers lost their acrobatic shortstop, Jose Iglesias, with stress fractures in both legs. They're going with another ex-Angel, Andrew Romine.
No matter how they shape it, the Tigers have a lineup that should produce sufficient support behind a dynamic rotation fronted by Justin Verlander and Max Scherzer. Joe Nathan, Hunter's old teammate in Minnesota, has arrived as the lockdown closer the club has been seeking.
"We have a good clubhouse with Torii, and Victor Martinez is like that, too," Dombrowski said. "Miguel maybe isn't as vocal as some guys, but he handles himself well and gets along with everybody. Verlander and Scherzer work their tails off, and Nathan is another one of those guys [with leadership skills].
"Brad knows we have a really good group of guys who get along well -- and play hard, too."

This old bull market is finally finding a little love as the S&P 500 pushes yet again into record turf. Will it be its undoing?
The American Association of Individual Investors on Thursday said 46.11% of retail investors described themselves as bullish in their latest weekly survey, up from 39.81% the previous week and the highest reading since Dec. 26. The survey found 23.65% described themselves as bearish, down from 26.96% the previous week, marking the lowest reading since late June. Some 30.24% were \"neutral,\" down from 33.23% a week earlier.
The survey tends to serve as a contrarian indicator, so this is the sort of new high that might actually start to prompt some concern for market bulls. \"While less than half of individual investors are bullish, we are getting close to that 50% threshold that has spelled short-term trouble in the past,\" wrote analysts at Bespoke Investment Group, in a blog post.

Mount St. Joseph Academy ended the first week of 2013 with a record of 10-1, but the process of attaining that mark has occasionally frayed the nerves of Magic hoops fans. There have been a lot of fourth-quarter fireworks over the past month or so, including come-from-behind wins over Villa Maria, Gwynedd Mercy, and Shipley School.
The latest example was a home game last Saturday afternoon, when the Mount notched a 52-47 victory over Catholic League Northern Division contender St. Hubert's. An apparently comfortable 31-23 lead in the middle of the third quarter disappeared before the end of the period, and the fourth round featured a pitched battle with the Bambies before the Magic officially recorded their ninth win in a row.
Mount St. Joe had led St. Hubert's (6-4) by as many as a dozen points before halftime, and coach John Miller pointed out, "We hurt ourselves a little bit. Defensively, we obviously didn't play as well in the second half as we did in the first half. But this team doesn't panic, doesn't get frustrated, and somehow we find a way to win close games."
Following their one-point victory over Shipley just before Christmas, the Magic continued their dominance of the George W. Snear Tournament in Conshohocken, beating Lansdale Catholic and Pope John Paul II to take the title. Last Thursday Mount St. Joe returned to Catholic Academies action, ascending to a 5-0 mark thanks to a 51-35 victory at St. Basil's.
"I thought we played very well in the Christmas tournament," Miller said, "and then defeating Basil's at Basil's by 16 was a real good effort, even though the score might have been deceiving."
The Snear tourney championship had come at a cost though, since senior point guard Kelsey Jones went down with a knee injury and will require surgery. The troublesome joint has plagued Jones over the past few years, but the Philadelphia University signee has borne her misfortunes with admirable good humor and fortitude.
Having scouted St. Hubert's during their 64-32 romp over Springside Chestnut Hill Academy two weeks earlier, MSJ's Miller knew not to take the Bambies lightly last Saturday.
After the Northeast Philly team broke the ice with a lay-up by forward Charlotte Kucowski (a cousin of SCH senior guard Maddi Hinchey), the Magic outscored their guests 17-8 in the remainder of the opening quarter. They started out with a three-pointer by senior Adrienne Cellucci (a guard who will attend Ursinus College) and then received nine points from junior Alex Louin later in the first period.
The Bambies steadied themselves, but by halftime the Mount had nudged its lead up to eight points at 24-16, and the hosts were ahead by the same margin midway through the third quarter. Mixing up inside and outside scoring from four different players, St. Hubert's roared back, and a three-pointer from the top of the key by Casey Matthews put the visitors up 34-33 with 70 seconds to go in the period.
However, the Bambies had been fouling as well as scoring, and the Mount's Louin took full advantage of a one-and-one chance in the final minute to send her team into the final round with a 35-34 edge. As the last stanza began, a free throw by senior Meg Geatens and Cellucci's second "three" of the afternoon reinforced the home team's lead, but St. Hubert's wouldn't go away.
Although the Magic kept Kucowski pretty much in check after the intermission following her nine first-half points, a smaller but strongly-built forward, Meghan Matthews, came on for the Bambies, and so did guard Kelly Riley. Fighting off little comeback runs by the visitors, Mount St. Joe eventually gained a 49-43 advantage with 1:35 to go, but back-to-back buckets by Riley and Kucowski made it a two-point game as the final minute began.
Uncharacteristically, the Magic missed three straight free throws, then Mary Kate Ulasewicz made the second of her two tosses. The sophomore guard latched onto the basketball again following a missed shot by the Bambies at the other end, and she drew another foul. This time she stuck both shots from the stripe, completing the scoring with two seconds left.
She finished with five points, as did freshman Libby Tacka. Louin fired a game-high 17 points, Geatens and Cellucci had 13 and eight points, respectively, and junior Carly Monzo scored four. Kucowski led the Bambies with 13, while Meghan Matthews had 10 of her 12 in the second half and Riley netted six of her eight points after the interlude.

Smallpox Vaccination and the Patient With HIV/AIDS
March 2003
On September 23, 2002, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) presented a detailed operational plan for implementing a large-scale smallpox vaccination.1 The purpose of this article is to review the CDC plan and the relevant issues as applied to individuals with HIV infection and their providers. With regard to the CDC plan, the following points are emphasized:
The following are relevant additional points to smallpox vaccination in patients with HIV/AIDS.
Q. What is the expected outcome of smallpox in the HIV-infected person in the absence of vaccination?
A. The answer is unknown because smallpox was eradicated before AIDS was described. However, we do know that patients with CD4 counts <100 to 200 cells/mm3 have major defects in both cell-mediated immunity and humoral immunity as indicated by susceptibility to opportunistic pathogens and reduced antibody response to vaccine antigens.2, 3 Both humoral and cell-mediated defense mechanisms are considered important in containing variola.4 Since the mortality rate in unvaccinated immunocompetent patients with naturally acquired disease is about 30 percent in the general population, it is speculated that the mortality rate would be much higher in patients with HIV and this risk would correlate inversely with CD4 count; for those with AIDS or a CD4 count <200 cells/mm3, the mortality rate is likely to be very high.
Q. Would patients with HIV infection generate an immune response to smallpox vaccine?
A. The experience with other vaccines is that serologic response is CD4 cell count-dependent. In general, antibody titers are nil or reduced with CD4 counts 3 for nearly all vaccines in common use including tetanus, hepatitis B, influenza, S. pneumoniae, polio (eIPV), and measles.2, 3, 5, 6 Response rates are better or normal with CD4 counts >200 cells/mm3.5, 6 The same applies to a large extent with cell-mediated immune responses based on the experience with PPD skin tests.6-8
Q. Will smallpox vaccine cause progression of HIV?
A. Vaccines may stimulate an immune response including activation of CD4 cells that harbor HIV, thus increasing HIV viral load. The increase is generally <1,000 copies/ml and lasts two to six weeks.9, 10 This has not been problematic even in untreated patients or those receiving highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) using non-live microbe vaccines. However, vaccinia is a live virus vaccine, which may result in persistence of vaccinia infection that conceivably could cause persistent CD4 activation; in this case progressive vaccinia is probably a much greater concern as discussed below.
Q. What are the risks of smallpox vaccine with HIV infection?
A. Progressive vaccinia (or vaccinia necrosum) is the major risk.4 This is one of the most dreaded complications of vaccinia and is seen primarily in patients with compromised cell-mediated immunity such as patients with AIDS, organ transplants, cancer chemotherapy, chronic corticosteroids, hematologic malignancies, and combined immunodeficiency disorders; it has also been seen in some with hypogammaglobulinemia.4 This reaction consists of progressive enlargement of the primary site of inoculation and viremic spread to other sites with new disseminated lesions. The lesions show minimal local inflammation, biopsies confirm minimal lymphocytic infiltrates, and cultures of these distant sites yield vaccinia.4, 12-16 This complication may occur after primary vaccination or revaccination and is usually fatal.4, 14, 16 A possibly typical case has been described in a 19-year-old military recruit not previously known to have HIV infection who had a smallpox vaccination in May 1984.16 This patient developed new satellite ulcers at the site of inoculation and then a widespread, disseminated pustular rash that yielded vaccinia on culture. The patient was treated with VIG and had a complicated course with both disseminated vaccinia and AIDS-related complications that culminated in death at 18 months post-vaccination. Zagury has also reported cell immunotherapy with recombinant vaccinia that resulted in "wide necrosis" at the site of subcutaneous/intramuscular injections resulting in death in three of eight AIDS patients; all three had CD4 counts 3.17
A case with analogous pathophysiology was noted in a 20-year-old college freshman who received live measles vaccine despite advanced HIV infection with prior P. carinii pneumonia and no detectable CD4 cells.18 This patient developed progressive pulmonary infiltrates ten months later that yielded the measles vaccine strain (Moratan strain) on lung biopsy. He was treated with IVIG and ribavirin, but had progressive disease and died five months later. There have been nine reported cases of disseminated BCG with six deaths in AIDS patients following vaccination.19 These cases illustrate the hazard of disseminated disease following live microbe vaccinations in patients with late-stage HIV.
Q. Is there a treatment for progressive vaccinia?
A. The standard treatment is Vaccinia Immune Globulin (VIG), although the experience is limited and somewhat variable.4, 12-16, 20 The CDC controls availability of VIG. The usual dose is 0.6 mL/kg IM or about 40 ml that is usually given over 24 to 36 hours. Cidofovir has also been suggested based on in vitro activity versus vaccinia and activity in vivo in a rodent model.21-23 Nevertheless, clinical experience is nil for cidofovir treatment of vaccinia and related poxviruses with the exception of topical use for molluscum contagiosum.24 A study of immunodeficient mice challenged with cowpox showed cidofovir failed to prevent death.25 Perhaps the most important therapeutic intervention would be HAART combined with these other treatments.
Q. How great is the risk of secondary spread of vaccinia from vaccines to patients with HIV infection?
A. Vaccinia causes an ulcer often with satellite lesions that shed the virus for about 10 to 14 days post-inoculation. Shedding occurs even through sealed bandages.11 The frequency of contact vaccinia is rare -- about 2-6/100,000 with primary vaccination based on prior reports.26, 27 These cases required close contact and rarely occurred outside the home except for a few hospital-related contact cases.11 Contact vaccinia in immunodeficient patients is a larger concern than these numbers indicate because the frequency may be substantially higher in immunodeficient patients and the consequences far greater. The implication is that vulnerable patients, including those with HIV infection, should be removed from direct contact with vaccine recipients until inoculation sites no longer shed virus.11 Recommendations include separate housing or, in the case of contact with vaccinated fellow workers, it could mean furloughing. The experience with varicella vaccine is possibly analogous since this also involves live virus that can be spread to contacts from inoculation sites, but here the consequences are far less devastating.
Q. What will be the policy for HIV screening for vaccination?
A. The CDC's "Smallpox Vaccination Clinical Guide" states that HIV screening should be available if requested by the participant and that rapid tests for HIV should be considered if available and FDA approved. A potential problem with logistics of HIV testing as a contingency for smallpox vaccination is the need for informed consent for HIV serology and the delay in results using standard serologic methods. The only rapid test currently available that is FDA approved that could provide results in minutes is SUDS, but this test requires interpretation in a CLIA-certified lab. Several provider-read rapid HIV tests are under review by the FDA and these could simplify the process. Two of these tests (Oraquick and Reveal) have received "FDA-approvable" letters and FDA approval is expected soon. A major concern is the inadvertent vaccination of some of the estimated 300,000 patients with HIV infection who are unaware of their status; this includes the approximately 25,000 healthcare workers who may be prioritized for vaccination as first responders.11
Q. How much does the CD4 count matter?
A. The CD4 count is the barometer for susceptibility to opportunistic infections and it would appear to be critical in defining the risk for both smallpox and for progressive vaccinia following vaccination or accidental contact with a vaccinee. Nearly all complications of live vaccines in patients with HIV infection have occurred in those with CD4 counts <200 cells/mm3. The commonly accepted threshold of susceptibility has always been 200 cells/mm3 or 14 percent, which defines AIDS. Measles vaccine is considered safe in HIV-infected children with a CD4 count above 15 percent, and there is an ongoing trial of varicella vaccine in HIV-infected children also using a CD4 threshold of 15 percent to define safety. Based on these observations, many authorities would consider smallpox vaccination as clearly unsafe in those with a CD4 <200 cells/mm3 or 3 since there is no experience. The CDC recommendations define risk by the presence of HIV regardless of CD4 count, presumably due to the lack of supporting clinical data with vaccinia. Nevertheless, the CD4 count would appear to be a critical variable that emphasizes the potential importance of disease stage and the utility of HAART in determining risk.
Q. Does prior smallpox vaccination make a difference?
A. Most Americans aged >30 years received smallpox vaccinations. These patients do not have detectable vaccinia antibody, but there may be persistent CMI protection and/or an amnestic response with revaccination.28, 29 Neither of these observations is regarded as likely in the face of severe immunosuppression. Patients >30 years with early-stage disease or immune reconstitution seem likely to behave like immunocompetent individuals with prior smallpox vaccination, although this is speculation.

Fall Events Will Highlight College's 175 Years• September 12, 2007 Share:
Wabash College will mark its 175th year with a range of fall campus events designed to appreciate the history and significance of its longevity and contributions to society.
The College was founded on November 21, 1832 with the first classes held December 3, 1833. The fall events will take note of the storied history.
"We're excited about the activities that are planned this fall to honor the 175th anniversary of the College's founding," said Jim Amidon, Wabash's Director of Public Affairs. "our hope is to reconnect students, faculty, staff, and alumni with the College's history in a meaningful way."
The 175th year comes during a time of celebration for Wabash. President Patrick White was inaugurated in January as the College's 15th president. The College celebrated Center Hall's 100th year in the spring. This school year the student newspaper, The Bachelor, is celebrating its 100th year.
"Since we had such a grand celebration for President White's inaugural in January – much of which focused on our past – we'll celebrate this fall with a thoughtful approach," Amidon said. "We'll hear Chapel talks by David Blix, Bill Placher, Dick Ristine, and President White, each speech crafted to a specific aspect of our history. We'll also feature an evening with Archivist Beth Swift, who will walk us through our visual history during Founders' Week. We'll also highlight the 175-year excellence of our faculty in what we're calling the Faculty Showcase in mid-October."
