|AIDS can live longer than DIABETES
Jul 4, 2013
Hi Benjamin,
I read a recent article on life expectancy for patients with HIV/AIDS with interest. According to the latest research done in UK, a HIV/AIDS patients on average is expected to live almost a normal lifespan minus 5 years off if he is a non-smoker/non-drug user etc.
In contrast, a patient with Diabetes Type 1 will have his life expectancy shortened by as much as 20 years on average whereas Type 2 Diabetes by as much as 10 years.
This actually means HIV/AIDS is now a chronic disease less severe than Diabetes, and a HIV sufferer with no co-infection is expected to live longer than a diabetic patient. Am I right to assume this based on life expectancy ??
I am 44 years old and suffering from AIDS with low CD4 but have been so far healthy taking my HIV medications regularly. Despite my condition I look forward a long healthy life, and hopefully a cure will come during my lifetime.
Response from Dr. Young
Hello and thanks for posting.
Yes, I'd agree.
People living with HIV who have access to medications and can be adherent to pills and appointments do indeed have life expectancies that are estimated to very close to normal. Several studies from European cohorts suggested this in research studies. This week at the IAS2013 conference, we learned that this is true for HIV+ people living in Canada and the US, where a 20 year old + man is calculated to live around another 50 years, to age 70 or more.
You face some risks while your CD4 is low, but if your medications do the job that we fully expect them to do, you should also radically diminish your risk of HIV-related complications. The next steps would be to assess risks (and prevent) other non-AIDS-related comorbid illnesses such as cardiovascular, kidney or bone disease. What many patients face are the new challenges of healthy aging with HIV.
As for the cure; I think that we are incrementally approaching strategies that might do just that. It'll still take years, perhaps decades before this is safe, effective and economical, but yet a light on the distant horizon.
Finally, I'd challenge the notion that people living with HIV should be classified as sufferers. I think it's an incorrect characterization and only perpetuates stigma and victimization.
I hope that helps, BY
Could I increase my cd4 with this shift ?
If I miss a dose of Norvir should I still take Prezista?

This article originally appeared in Sports on Earth, which publishes thought and opinion on the day's sporting news.
As soon as Richard Sherman ranted into the Fox microphone held by Erin Andrews last week, blame was due to come her way. The criticism would be absurdly stereotypical, much as it was for Sherman. He'd heard the blunt thug. She would be implicitly tagged a bimbo.
Andrews handled Sherman's combustion with as much poise as possible. She didn't take him too seriously, a lead the rest of America should have followed, and she got in the one question that could clarify his fulminations.
But Andrews' beauty has always made her a suspicious character, so much so that it's impossible for many people to judge her work fairly. When Kevin Harlan of CBS Sports had time to think about the Sherman frenzy, he decided it was partly, and maybe entirely, Andrews' fault. He called her reaction "drama queenish'" and suggested she may have provoked Sherman. I don't know what exchange he was watching, but his interpretation reeks of confirmation bias about Andrews and the general inclination to see any man's misbehavior in a pretty woman's presence as a re-enactment of the last scene at the Garden of Eden.
Ultimately, Harlan's reaction was too predictable to be interesting. So was Jeff Pearlman's first take on his blog. (Abridged: "Andrews is the Kardashian of televised sports.") A few days later, though, he retreated completely, beating himself up for beating up Andrews instead of pummeling television's hiring standards for women. If you're familiar with Pearlman, author of bios about Barry Bonds and Walter Payton, you know that he has strong points of view and almost never backs down. After the Andrews column, he called himself juvenile and stupid. He was right.
He clarified what he meant to say: "Nobody's demanding beauty and sexiness from, say, Chris Berman or Joe Buck or Stuart Scott. Yet it seems that—bottom line—women with sex appeal have an inside track over women with fantastic knowledge and poise but, say, a belly.'"
Pearlman isn't the first well-meaning male writer to whiff on this "don't hate the player, hate the game'" issue. From the London Olympics, Jeré Longman of the New York Times carved up hurdler Lolo Jones for capitalizing on her allure and gaining far more attention than her American teammates who were superior on the track—silver and bronze medalists Dawn Harper and Kellie Wells. The Times' ombudsman wrote a column calling the piece too harsh.
The real problem with the column was that it shouldn't have been about Jones and how eagerly she played the glam game. It should have been about Harper and Wells, and what the media were saying about them by saying so little. Problem is, no one wants to admit what's really happening: "They're paying a price for not being as hot as she is."
That feels too blunt. What else can you say? "Wells or Harper, the gold medalist from four years earlier and a lively personality, might prove more compelling, maybe even hotter, if given a proper stage. … Not that there's anything wrong just being a gold medalist. … Or not being hotter. … Or not hot at all.'"
You have to be so careful with this conversation. "It is a v-e-r-y awkward thing to discuss and debate,'" Pearlman said in a Facebook exchange. "Difficult.'"
Still, he knows he shouldn't have defaulted to ripping Andrews, making her the villain when, at most, she represents ridiculous standards set by others.
Pearlman said he was trying to stand up for the many women he knows who deserve broadcast work as play-by-play or color analysts and don't think they have a shot. "The networks rarely/never seem to consider having women fill those roles. It's beyond troubling to me,'" he said. "Furthermore, what the (95 percent male) sports TV executives then do is place women in the one spot that 'works' for the broadcast—relatively useless sideline reporter. And even in that gig, it seems networks place a far greater emphasis on physical appearance than reporting/journalism chops."
For some reason, instead of engaging in a more thoughtful conversation, it ends up being easier to unload on Andrews, as if she has created a bad template for women in sports media, defining them all as personalities rather than journalists, willing to date athletes rather than keep a professional distance, and available for modeling gigs and Dancing With the Stars slots. I understand the concern, but I'm not sure it's entirely fair. No one has a problem with Michael Strahan crossing over from his mornings with Kelly Ripa to do analysis with Fox, and certain ex-player commentators have visibly struggled with the concept of objectivity. They have the playing credentials, but they do not conform to journalism standards. Yet we don't think they damage the reputations of the Scotts, Bucks, or Bermans, who have more traditional credentials.
Regardless of the larger debate about Andrews' place in the business, she did not deserve flak for the Sherman interview. I have no idea whether she is good at her job on a regular basis. I don't pay enough attention to postgame interviews, and I would have missed this one if the clip hadn't become the Zapruder film of its genre.
But when Sherman went off, she did not botch the interview and she did not provoke him. He had delivered a nearly identical screed to another Fox crew just before that, and he would emphatically call Michael Crabtree "mediocre'" in the news conference almost an hour later. As he talked to Andrews, he could not be stopped. And he should not have been. The moment was revealing, and a reporter had no business stepping on it.
Deadspin has already delivered a strong defense of Andrews' work that day. Pearlman's backtrack said just as much. Harlan might be prepping an apology this very minute. He should be. It's not enough that he deflected accusations of sexism by citing Michele Tafoya as a superior alternative. (Pearlman used Bonnie Bernstein as his shield.)
The general concern is valid. There has been an alarming shift toward babes handling the news and patrolling sports sidelines
"People point to older women sideline reporters and say, 'See! That's not true,'" Pearlman said during our Facebook conversation. "But if you look, and see who the networks are hiring now, they seem to fit a predictable physical description.'"
This is part of a larger cultural sexualization and dumbing-down, and it's not a recent development. See Broadcast News, released 27 years ago.
Instead of wishing away Andrews, I prefer to hope she's still around 27 years from now, better than ever at 62. Right now, she can't possibly shake all the suspicions that she is part of the problem for women in sports media. If she lasts that long, she will definitely be part of the solution.

The Lipscomb Bisons expect the early season to be a struggle with freshmen and other new faces being placed into the thick of the mix.
Saturday night in the second round of the Cyclone Challenge hosted by Iowa State in Ames, Iowa the Bisons fell 68-58 to Winston-Salem State University.
Senior forward Eddie Ard was named to the All-Tournament Team.
The Bisons started off strong hitting 12-of-23 from the field (52.2 percent). They also hit 6-of-12 shots from 3-point range. At intermission they led 35-29.
But in the second half the Bisons were 7-of-27 from the field, 25.9 percent. They missed all nine attempts from 3-point range.
Sophomore guard Devon Seaford and senior forward Eddie Ard each scored 12 points to lead the Bisons. Seaford was 3-of-6 from 3-point range.
Senior center Jason Hopkins grabbed a game-high 12 rebounds.
The Bisons controlled the boards holding a 38-31 edge.
The Bisons hit 19-of-50 shots from the field, for 38 percent for the game.
Winston-Salem State made the difference from 3-point range hitting 14-of-26 for 53.8 percent. They were 7-of-11 from 3-point range in the second half, a 63.6 percent success rate.
From the field Winston-Salem State was 11-of-32 in the first half and 11-of-21, 52.4 percent, in the second half.
Four players finished in double figures for Winston-Salem State. Roy Peake led with 16 points. Brian Fisher chipped in 14. Michael Puckett and Isiah Tucker scored 10 points apiece.
Turnovers were once again a problem for the Bisons with 20. Winston-Salem made 13.
The Bisons are 0-2. Winston-Salem is 1-1.

Ice Storm is a 3Dmark benchmark for Windows 8, Windows RT, Android & iOS.. but Windows Phone is not even on the radar. According the Futuremark, creators of the best/most widely used PC benchmark tests, it will only come to Windows Phone if there is enough demand for it. See the pic: (http://techin5.com/wp-content/upload.../Icestorm2.jpg)
So it's clear that Windows Phone 8 (sorry wp7 users, but this will never happen for you) users really need to raise awareness that if you're using a wp8 device, you want to be able to compare your phones against iOS & Android devices (heck, even Windows 8 + RT devices!).
This will be the first time a cross-platform benchmark has been made available, and it would be a shame if it never came to what is considered the 3rd big platform (again, sorry Blackberry users).
For more information about the benchmarks read this article: http://techin5.com/2012/12/new-3dmar...sadly-lacking/

Family Genealogy Search Begins with a Name
Everything has a starting point. Your Mexico family genealogy search starts with the name of the person you want to find. The other vital piece of information you must have is the state in Mexico where this person lives or lived. These are the two building blocks of information from which to start your search. So let's look at the structure of the name.
Recently Chantelle posted on Facebook asking for help to find her son's biological grandparents in Mexico. She wrote that she only had the city and the one apellido. If you are unfamiliar with Spanish, apellido is the term for last name, commonly referred to as a surname in genealogy.
Now when I say that your starting point is a name, I'm always referring to a complete name that includes both the father and mother's last names. You should read my blog #3 Want to find family in Mexico? What you need to get started because it covers the structure of Spanish names in greater detail.
Let's say that you have only one surname and it's Hernandez, one of the top 10 most popular names in Mexico, then more information would be needed to have any real hope of finding this person. In the case of Chantelle, the surname of her son's grandparents is Gaimes. She also let us know that the grandparents are reported to be living in San Luis Potosi. Gaimes is not a very popular name so a search was done to see if there were indications of any records with this name in San Luis Potosi.
Unfortunately, no evidence was found that there are records for someone in San Luis Potosi having the surname Gaimes. The genealogy search was extended to several cities beyond San Luis Potosi. Nothing. At this point, the surname Gaimes is now suspect. I like the principal of Occam's Razor when it comes to a family genealogy search in Mexico. Simply stated, "when you have two competing theories making exactly the same predictions, the simpler one is the better." In this case, which is the more likely, that all of the Gaimes family left San Luis Potosi or that Gaimes may be a misspelling?
When no records are identified, it often indicates that there is a misspelling of the surname. An expert in Onomastics, the study of proper names, was brought in to review the surname Gaimes. After an exhaustive search, no record could be found of Gaimes as a Hispanic surname. This search included surname origins from Spain and most of Latin America. The closest surname spelling was Gamez that shows up in many Spanish countries.
Of course, not everyone who lives in Mexico has ancestry in Mexico so it's quite possible that Gaimes is a legitimate surname from non-Hispanic origins. However, with no indication of the existence of current records with this surname, the probability is that Gaimes is a misspelling. The good news is that Chantelle now knows this and she can talk with relatives to see if Gamez is perhaps the correct surname.
Doing your family genealogy search should be fun and can be very rewarding and at times exciting. Keep in mind, though, that you may hit a wall with the information you have. If so, then it's time to step back and seek out help from experts who specializes in Mexico family genealogy. Chantelle was smart because she got help and advice from an expert in Onomastics to review her information and point her, hopefully, in the right direction.

I am interesting in researching my father's family. I lost him in 2009 and the history of the family. He changed his name when he became a U.S. citizen on 01 May 1968.
His name at birth was Alberto Plutarco Garcia Gomez. He changed it to Albert Plutarco Garcia.
The information I can provide is:
Alberto Plutarco Garcia Gomez was born 09 Aug 1930 in Mexico to Alberto Garcia Pizano 30 at the time and Delfina Gomez 25 at the time.
Alberto Garcia father was Plutarco Garcia Balli who married Adela Pizano on 24 Jul 1882 in Cameron Co., Texas
Plutarco Garcia father was Guadalupe Garcia Guerra who married Concepcion Balli I think she died on 28 May 1904.
Concepcion Balli father was Juan Jose Balli who married Candida de la Garza Falcon on 06 Feb 1830 and (date of death was 14 Feb 1853?).
I can not find any further information on Adela Pizano or Guadalupe Garcia Guerra. I do not know if I am researching correctly or not. My grandfather died between 1982 and 1986 and my grandmother Delfina was born 19 Aug 1905, I am not sure where she was born and died 08 May 1989 in Longview, Texas. Her parents were Manuel Gomez and Maria Cueto. I have not started researching her side of the family. I do speak Spanish due to speech impairment and I never learn how to read Spanish.
Any information on how to start researching my family would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

The recent deal between Norway's Statoil and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to deploy in their words "a wide range of technologies" to aid in oil and gas exploration and production efforts isn't too surprising, given that many systems developed for operation beyond out planet's surface are increasingly finding their way into many Earth-based efforts.
Indeed, Ford Motor Co. announced plans to tap into orbital communication technology earlier this year as part of the automaker's ongoing effort to improve vehicle capabilities down here on Earth
Statoil said it seeks to tap into NASA's space knowledge – directly through the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) at Pasadena, California, which is managed by the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) for NASA – to look for safer and more cost-effective oil and gas exploration solutions.
"Searching for oil and gas resources has become so advanced technically over the past decade that new solutions and ideas are needed," explained Lars Høier, Statoil acting senior vice president of research, development and innovation, in a statement.
"To Statoil this is a significant opportunity to take technologies developed by NASA and JPL for the harsh and challenging environments of space and apply them to the equally demanding environments of oil and gas production," he added. "We're excited to work with NASA—one of the leading research organizations globally—to evaluate the development and application of technologies that have more in common with outer space exploration than previously thought."
[Indeed, finding out where oil deposits are hidden is tricky work, something touched on in this interestingly video below produced by Tullow Oil.]
Looking for oil and gas deposits is also expensive work, as Statoil said it annually spends roughly $550 million in U.S. dollars on research, development and innovation. The agreement with NASA, Statoil added, is complementary to research work already underway.
The contract between Statoil and NASA is expected to run from 2013 to 2018, with the option of an extension, and will focus on the following research areas: supercomputing, materials, robotics, development of new tools, and communication optionality.
"This agreement is the latest example of how NASA and JPL technologies can benefit us here on Earth," noted Charles Elachi, director of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, pointing out that the lab is currently working with 21 spacecraft and nine instruments conducting active missions. "It's also an example of how collaborations with other industries can be beneficial to space exploration."
And finding more oil and gas – plus helping to extract it more safely – helps trucking in the long run, too, in terms of fuel supply. That's certainly a positive ripple effect from such efforts.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Dell ( DELL) reports fourth-quarter results after the market close, with investors eager for hints about the company's buyout price tag. Earlier this month, Dell said founder and CEO Michael Dell and private equity firm Silver Lake Partners are acquiring the company in a $24.4 billion deal. Under the terms of the transaction, Dell shareholders will receive $13.65 a share in cash, a premium of 25% to the company's closing price Jan. 11 when rumors of the deal emerged. The CEO wants greater flexibility to shift the No. 3 PC maker's focus toward lucrative software and services offerings. This, he believes, can be better achieved away from the glare of the public markets. The buyout, however, has proved controversial, prompting opposition from a number of investors, including the company's second-largest shareholder, Southeastern Asset Management, which says Dell's worth around $24 a share. Some 86% of respondents to TheStreet's poll on the subject agree that shareholders are getting a raw deal, describing the premium as a "joke." Speculation's now mounting that Michael Dell could face tricky questions about the buyout during today's earnings conference call. "Although CEO Michael Dell could be somewhat limited in what he can say with respect to his offer to take the company private, investors will look for clues on his willingness to see the deal through either at the current price or slightly higher," wrote Brian Marshall, an analyst at ISI Group, in a note released on Tuesday. "Given the growing discontent around the $13.65 privatization price tag, it will be interesting to see how the company handles the call," said Brian White, an analyst at Topeka Capital Markets, in a note. "Tonight's call is meant to be focused on Dell's quarterly results; however, we expect there will be questions around the privatization plan and it is not clear how Dell will handle deal-related inquiries." White believes that, while Dell could sidestep any deal-related questions, a higher price for the company is still needed, as evidenced by recent investor unrest. A $16 target would be a reasonable price for all parties involved, according to the analyst, who warns that a higher price tag could kill the deal. Weighed down by weakness in the PC market and stiff competition from the likes of Apple ( AAPL) and Lenovo, Wall Street has modest fourth-quarter expectations for Dell. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters expect Dell to earn 39 cents a share on revenue of $14.12 billion, down from $16 billion and 51 cents a year earlier. For the coming quarter, Wall Street expects earnings of 38 cents a share and revenue of $13.59 billion. The company's fourth-quarter numbers and first-quarter guidance, however, could have a big impact on the ultimate buyout deal, according to ISI Group's Marshall. "If current results and the outlook come in above expectations, odds that the deal is completed around the current price will diminish," he wrote. Nonetheless, the analyst notes that Dell is in a tough business environment. "Given the secular headwinds in PCs facing DELL as it undertakes a multi-year transformation, we expect a deal will ultimately be completed around the current share price to slightly higher, particularly if near-term results come in below expectations." Shares of Dell, which have tumbled 24% during the past 12 months, were little changed at $13.82 on Tuesday. -- Written by James Rogers in New York Follow @jamesjrogers >To submit a news tip, send an email to: firstname.lastname@example.com.

Last night I attended the rehearsal for my friends Allison and John's wedding. Afterward his parents hosted a wonderful dinner in their lovely backyard in Medford. To my delight when we pulled up we saw two catering vans from Woodman's of Essex. For those of you who don't know Woodman's, it is a North Shore institution for delicious seafood! Per Woodman's website they have been in business since 1914 and they are the original inventor of the fried clam! Thank you Woodman's!
The Minogues treated us to a Woodman's Lobster bake. We had dinner under a tent and survived a rippin' thunderstorm. The Woodman's folks - 2 on staff - weathered the elements like pros, moving in under the tent as needed. Despite the soaking rains and terrifying lightning the food was served up hot and fresh. We started out with mussels and steamers followed by their delicious NE Clam Chowder. Next up was Lobster, corn and Cole slaw. Also provided was roast chicken for the non-seafood folks and one guest even got an delicious looking vegetarian dish. This was no afterthought, it looked beautiful and was evidently cooked to perfection. When you walked up for your lobster, it was cracked and the tail was cut for you. There were plenty of bibs, wet naps and napkins and yeah, I ripped into that bad boy and dipped into the still warm clarified butter with gusto.
If you are looking for some killer catered lobster, call Woodman's!!!
Love you Woodman's!!!! Thanks Minogue family!

WASHINGTON (AP) — The already-bizarre criminal case of a slain German socialite and journalist has been brought to a virtual standstill by her husband's refusal to eat, which has left the defendant unable to sit or stand on his own and at risk of death.
It's the latest twist in the case against Albrecht Muth, a fellow German expatriate whose behavior has ranged from odd to obstructive since he was charged with the killing. Muth, nearly a half-century younger than his late wife, has argued unsuccessfully for the right to wear what he said was an Iraqi military uniform in court. He fired his public defenders — only to have them reappointed after he was deemed too physically weak to act as his own lawyer. He told the judge he'd follow his own rules and he's name-dropped Jesus, David Petraeus and others in court proceedings.
Muth's fasting prompted a judge to indefinitely postpone the trial, scheduled to start this Monday, after a doctor said Muth was too weak to be brought to court and prosecutors and defense lawyers said it wasn't feasible for him to participate remotely from his hospital bed. Frustrated prosecutors say Muth, 48, is orchestrating his own unavailability and thwarting their efforts to hold him accountable in the August 2011 slaying, and an exasperated judge says the case was in "limbo status" until at least next month.
Muth's behavior has defied an easy solution: His presence in the courtroom could harm his health and disrupt the proceedings, but his absence could set up an appeal on grounds that the trial was improperly held.
The parties are right to proceed cautiously since a trial without the defendant is an option "reserved for the most bizarre, unheard of collection of circumstances that essentially result in a perfect storm," said Bernie Grimm, a Washington criminal defense lawyer not involved in the case.
"When a defendant's not there, it's just a hornet's nest for the judge," he said, adding that a hastily made decision could raise all sorts of bases for an appeal.
Other options have been debated. Prosecutor Glenn Kirschner suggested at one point that he might seek a court order to force-feed the defendant, but he's acknowledged that that Muth — who's been hospitalized for two months — might be too ill for that. Superior Court Judge Russell Canan also considered having Muth appear via video link. But Kirschner argued that Muth could "very well die on camera, on a two-way video feed" before the jury. He said he saw no way for the trial to proceed as scheduled.
"It's not an approach that the government is comfortable risking a trial, a criminal conviction and a possible reversal on," Kirschner said.
His starvation, which he claims is for religious reasons, has been the biggest roadblock yet in the strange case that's included his claims that he was a general in the Iraqi army and that the killing was an Iranian hit job. Muth began fasting after he was ruled competent to stand trial in December.
The investigation began after Muth reported finding 91-year-old Viola Drath's beaten and stabbed body in the bathroom of the couple's row home in chic Georgetown, where for years they hosted dinner parties for notable Washingtonians. Police arrested Muth, who has maintained his innocence, after finding no signs of forced entry to the home and observing scratches on his body that suggested a physical struggle. He also aroused suspicion when he presented a document — which prosecutors say was forged — stating that he was entitled to a portion of her estate upon her death. In truth, he had been removed from her will, authorities say.
Drath, who contributed columns to The Washington Times and wrote on German affairs, wed Muth in 1990. The couple's tumultuous relationship included his prior conviction for beating her, and prosecutors say he leeched onto Drath's social connections to pass them off as his own. He walked the neighborhood smoking cigars and sporting a military-style uniform that prosecutors say was actually made for him in South Carolina. He showed off a military certificate that came from a Maryland print shop.
Despite his grandiose claims, he lived off a monthly allowance from Drath, had no connection to the Iraqi army or any income of his own, prosecutors say.
Though defendants are entitled to attend every step of their trial, courts in recent years have grappled with where to draw the line on intentionally disruptive behavior.
In 2011, a judge in Washington state temporarily barred a man charged with raping and killing a lesbian couple from his own trial. The trial began with Isaiah Kalebu, who cursed his lawyers and knocked over chairs during pretrial hearings, watching the proceedings from another room in the courthouse while chained in a restraint chair. He later testified and was convicted.
That same year, a federal appeals court in Chicago ruled that a judge was justified in barring two defendants from a gang crimes trial after their tirades disrupted pretrial hearings. The judge permitted them to follow the trial on a jail video feed and told them they could return once they committed to behave. After they were convicted in absentia, they unsuccessfully appealed the judge's decision to hold the trial without them.
"These are difficult cases. The courts seem to be willing to override defendants' fundamental rights for the sake of having neat and tidy trials," said John Beal, a Chicago attorney who represented one of the men and who argued that his client should have been given a chance to attend the trial before being barred.
In Muth's case, a judge has scheduled a hearing for April. It's not clear whether anything will be different.
Muth has dropped about 30 pounds in the hospital since his fast began and his organs are failing, said Dr. Russom Ghebrai. He did eat and drink last weekend — and has consumed food intermittently in the last few weeks — but then chastised himself for disobeying the orders of the archangel Gabriel and pledged to begin his fast anew.
He's shown no signs he intends to permanently resume eating, telling Canan last week that if forced to choose between a jury of "secular-ites" and his own religious convictions, it was an easy decision: "I opt for God."

You don't contact me to check your facts, let alone to ask for a quote. But then you write a big-but-empty story sourced from...public documents. And then when I reach out to you in the aftermath with an offer to discuss the story so that you can correct your various errors of fact and omission, you decline to respond. So what does that say about your motivations for writing the piece in the first place?

Hudson Valley resident Roger Ailes, the former president and chairman of Fox News, was in the process of selling his properties in Putnam at the time of his death. Two properties are still on the market, while one sold last December.
Ailes died Thursday morning at age 77 due to complications of a subdural hematoma after he fell in his Palm Beach home last week, according to police.
Last July, Ailes was ousted from Fox News following allegations of sexual harassment made by former anchor Gretchen Carlson.
Lawsuits against Ailes over sexual harassment are expected to continue, with the suits being filed against his estate. 21st Century Fox has already paid $45 million to settle previous suits against Ailes.
"I am profoundly sad and heartbroken to report that my husband, Roger Ailes, passed away this morning. Roger was a loving husband to me, to his son Zachary, and a loyal friend to many," Elizabeth Ailes, his wife, said in a statement.
His family was the former publishers of the Putnam County News and Recorder and the Putnam County Courier. A longtime resident of Garrison in Putnam County, he announced last summer he was withdrawing his $500,000 donation for a senior center at the Butterfield development that was to be named after him.
Putnam County Executive MaryEllen Odell said Ailes was a man of genuine compassion.
"(Ailes) cared about the community; especially our seniors, veterans and active military personnel. He and his family donated their resources to many local causes that benefited our residents," Odell said,
Odell said Ailes reminded her of Winston Churchill.
"Churchill once said, 'Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few,'" Odell said. "This is how I will always remember Roger Ailes. So many owe him so much. He was a loyal and fierce friend who will be truly missed.

Because I'm gay, and lived all of my childhood, and a good portion of my adulthood, at a time when being gay was unacceptable to the mainstream, obviously, I didn't fit in with straight people. Although I had a lot in common with straight people, as all gay people do, there's just this part of you that knows straight people wouldn't understand, or wouldn't want to understand, if they knew about your same-sex attraction (even though love is love, when it comes right down to it).
But you want to know something ironic?
I didn't fit in with gay men, either. You might think that, once I came out, I finally found where I belonged–namely, in the company of other gay men, who, presumably, I had a lot in common with. But you'd be wrong. Sure, we shared our attraction for other men and could at least understand each other on that level. But, when it came to other matters related to being gay, I knew I was different from many of them. In other words, I still felt very much on the outside looking in, where everyone else seemed to be.
This all came back to me last week, when I received an email from a nineteen-year-old gay man who lives in Eastern Canada, and who wrote to me on the subjects of casual sex, promiscuity, and open relationships. The words he wrote speak better for him than I ever could:
I was a little shocked when I learned about the stereotypes of gay men being promiscuous, and far more shocked when I realized the extent to which such stereotypes are true. While I'm just about at the point where I can tolerate others engaging in casual sex when single, I cannot understand why anyone with the opportunity for a monogamous relationship would seek anything outside of it. To me that means you are not ready for a relationship and/or are with the wrong person. To have an open relationship to me negates the whole point of a relationship and cheapens whatever bond there is supposed to be between the people involved.
First, how refreshing it was to hear from a young man–as a matter of interest, the majority of readers I hear from are in their teens or twenties–who, in 2013, has what I would consider old-fashioned, traditional, or conservative (pick the term you prefer) principles, morals, and ideals, which, as it happens, exactly coincide with mine. Exchanges with people, such as this young man, give me so much hope for the future of our world in general, and of gay people in particular.
But, as I wrote back to him, the gay male community is a large and diverse place, and there's plenty of room for all the different ways we have of being gay. Just because you don't agree with this type of gay person, and how he feels about, or conducts himself on, matters that are important to you, doesn't mean you won't agree with that one. It's just a case of finding those you feel most comfortable with, and who validate the way you know yourself to be.
One of the greatest challenges you'll face is finding those people. Unfortunately, we still live in a culture where gay people are unable to meet each other as easily as straight people are. If you're not into the gay bar and club scene, as I wasn't–but I still made the effort to frequent them anyway and ended up meeting my life partner there–then you'll have to be creative and find other places where you're likely to meet a good cross-section of gay people, or where you'll have at least one main interest in common with everyone (like a cycling group, for example).
One of the other challenges you'll face is the temptation, in order to belong, to compromise what you hold most dear and true. Here's what I think it looks like: A young gay man comes out of the closet, meets other young gay men, and, in an effort to finally fit in somewhere–that is, to feel no longer isolated or alone–he goes along with the crowd, and finds himself indulging in substance abuse and/or sexual practices that are not who he is. Unfortunately, peer pressure doesn't necessarily end when you've left high school.
The point I'm trying to make is this: Stay true to yourself. Just because you want to fit in with other people doesn't mean you have to be someone you're not. The gay male community is a seductive place. There are many things you could encounter in it that will turn your head, some good, some not so good. Don't throw out your principles, morals, and ideals because you're finally out of the closet; because you've been led to believe homosexuality is immoral anyway, so why not live an immoral lifestyle?; because you think you have to in order to appear more attractive to other gay men.
For those of you who don't know my story, I'll give it to you in a nutshell: I never smoked, drank, or did drugs. I was never promiscuous, and I've been in a monogamous relationship for twenty-one years this month. I have always lived according to what is right for me, and I've never been influenced by anyone to do something I'm not comfortable with. I've done all right for myself. I don't believe I've missed out on anything important–because I was unwilling to compromise my standards to make someone else happy or to fit in. And, somehow, I managed to meet the man of my dreams, who I'm still madly in love with today.
In other words, if I can do it, so can you. Nothing is worth having if it's too easy to get. So, when you're wondering why you're making things so difficult for yourself, by not going along with everyone else, remember, if you stay true to who you are, and get what you've always wanted that way, you will keep your self-respect, which is, believe me, one of the most important things you can have.
All good things come to those who wait–and, I might add, who work hard to get it.
(My thanks to Chris M. for inspiring me to write this post. I respect you more than you know for the principled young man you are, and for the tremendous character you show by being true to yourself.)

Clayton Miller's Interuserface takes a look at the iconic shapes behind today's biggest mobile companies, and while Apple, iPhone, and iPad are obviously roundrects (rounded rectangles), their competition is just as geometrically aligned:
Microsoft's Metro UI owns the square. Apple has a corner on the roundrect, from the Springboard launcher to the iPhone hardware itself. Nokia, despite its late entry with MeeGo's Harmattan UI, found the squircle unclaimed and ran with it beautifully. Palm has used the circle from the early days of PalmOS, and in WebOS, HP continues the tradition with care (one might even note that both Palm and HP structure their wordmarks around the circle).
Zune, obviously, couldn't hold the squircle, and neither Bada nor RIM could take the square or roundrect as their own. Interestingly, Google's Android has no iconic hold on any simple shape (nor do Facebook or Amazon for that matter, who have elected to stick with letters).

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (AP) - James Nunnally scored 15 points to lead UC Santa Barbara over UC Riverside 66-53 Thursday.

UC Santa Barbara shot 53 percent, hit eight 3s and forced 11 turnovers in the first half to take a 42-24 halftime lead.
The Highlanders, behind the shooting of Austin, got as close as 52-46 with 8:30 to play. The Gauchos responded with back-to-back 3-point plays by Jaime Serna and two straight baskets by Posley to go up 62-47.

CAJON PASS — A 16-year-old Phelan boy and an 18-year-old Victorville woman were killed late Tuesday night in the Cajon Pass in the fourth fatal accident to claim two or more victims in the region since Mother's Day.
San Bernardino County Fire Department crews worked for three hours into Wednesday morning to remove three injured males from a PT Cruiser after a dump truck hit the car at the intersection of a southbound Interstate 15 off-ramp and Highway 138. Killed in the accident were John Cabrera Jr., of Phelan, and Nicole Lyle, of Victorville, the San Bernardino County Sheriff-Coroner said.
The injured were identified as David Castaneda, age and city of residence unknown; Mikey Baker, 20, of Phelan; and Shane Gretzner, 19, of Phelan. Snowline Unified School District Superintendent Luke Ontiveros said all of the five in the PT Cruiser were students at Serrano High School at one time.
San Bernardino County Fire Capt. Kyle Hauducoeur said six fire units responded to a call of a two-vehicle collision with people trapped in one vehicle at 11:45 p.m. Tuesday. Upon arrival, firefighters found a green PT Cruiser stuck underneath a dump truck hauling 80,000 pounds of cement on the Shell gas station property at the I-15 and Highway 138 intersection.
"There were three people with life-threatening injuries that had to be removed," Hauducoeur said. "The dump truck was balancing on concrete barriers the gas station owner had set up and a concrete tube that was 6 feet underground and 6 feet above ground. We had to stabilize the 80,000-pound truck with four pieces of equipment to remove a victim."
One victim was removed and transported by ground to Arrowhead Regional Medical Center in Colton, Hauducoeur said. A second victim, whose upper body was stuck, was removed and flown by helicopter to ARMC.
Firefighters had to further stabilize the truck before they could remove the third victim. Hauducoeur said ARMC's surgical team was called to the scene in case the victim required emergency surgery upon removal. The victim was transported by ground with the surgical team to ARMC.
The last victim was transported at about 2 a.m. but crews were still on the scene as of 8:30 a.m. Wednesday. Caltrans officials said relatives of the victims visited the crash site Wednesday. Hundreds turned out for a vigil at Serrano High School on Wednesday night. Serrano High officials made counselors available Wednesday, even though school has been out for weeks. The school planned to do so again Thursday.
The dump-truck driver, an Ontario woman, was unharmed, firefighters said. There were unconfirmed reports that the dump truck's brakes failed. California Highway Patrol officers were investigating, but said the truck driver was not arrested or cited, and that alcohol and drugs did not appear to be a factor in the accident.
According to Hauducoeur, the collision occurred when the dump truck — part of the construction crew working on the I-15 Cajon Pass Rehabilitation Project — ran through the stop sign at the southbound I-15 off-ramp at Highway 138. The truck hit the PT Cruiser, which was traveling on Highway 138, causing the Cruiser to roll under the truck and come to rest 20 feet from the roadway, he said.
Eleven people have died in accidents in the High Desert region since Mother's Day, when a Hesperia family of five was killed in an auto accident at Main Street and Balsam Avenue. Later in May, two other people died in another car accident less than a mile from that crash site.
Earlier this month, an off-duty Los Angeles firefighter and an 8-year-old Hesperia boy died of injuries suffered in a plane crash at El Mirage Dry Lake.

It was just another Tuesday afternoon when the shaking started.
For some, it was just a soft rumble they figured was a truck backing up or a low-flying airplane.
For others, the shaking was so bad it knocked pictures off walls and made buildings sway.
The tremors rippled as far south as Georgia and north to New England, and in some places people were so scared they evacuated buildings and ran into the streets.

Anyhow, tonight we celebrated my mom's birthday, and also had a slide show for our family with pictures from our recent trip.
For dinner I made "Orecchiete with Cherry Tomatoes and Olive Tapenade" from VwaV... it's a great recipe, and I loved it as much as I always do. Luckily, there is some leftover for lunch tomorrow. I also made the AMAZING "Stuffed Collard Greens Baked in Zesty Tomato Sauce" from Modern Vegetarian Kitchen. So, so good. The stuffing was carrots, onions, mushroom, currants, pinenuts, wild rice, bread crumbs, parsley, fresh sage... mmm! They were really fun to make: you boil the collard leaves for 3 minutes, then blot them dry, goop in some filling, and then roll in up in a little packet. They looked great and they were very delicious.
I doubled the Collard recipe, and somehow I ended up with WAY too much tomato sauce, so lucky for us! I jarred it and now we've got two huge jars of homemade zesty red sauce next time we're looking for a quick dinner solution. Nice!
My grandparents brought over two pints of raspberries from their garden, and my aunt and her boyfriend brought me a huge box of fresh figs that they picked earlier today. Score!! I'll be having a fruity breakfast tomorrow!
Sorry for no pics... Maybe I'll take some of the leftovers tomorrow, but for tonight, it's all put away and I'm getting ready for bed.
Hoorah! Luckily there was enough leftover, that I got a second chance to take a picture. Here you can see the pasta with tapenade and tomatoes, one yummy stuffed collard with tomato sauce, and some of the raspberries from my grandparents' garden. The collards were really my favorite, and they made great leftovers too. Very nice. I blended up the tomato sauce with my handheld blender, which gave it a great, smooth texture. Yum!

Oh, I'm so sorry about your disappearing pictures, because the food you write about sounds SO SO good. The stuffed collards, the zesty tomato sauce, and fresh raspberries and figs, oh my!ReplyDelete
I'm glad you had a great day, and I hope you're recovering from your cold, by the way. I bet it feels good to be eating tons of warm, nourishing food now that you're back, although I still think your travel food looked gorgeous.
P.S. yay for hazelnuts!
I'm so glad I got a picture up. Aren't the figs just beautiful?
And yes, it's great to be eating yummy homemade food again!

Rove: Obama won 'by suppressing the vote'4:38 pm - 11/08/2012
GOP strategist Karl Rove went on Fox News today to argue that President Barack Obama "succeeded by suppressing the vote" -- an argument that directly contradicts the conventional wisdom that Romney failed to appeal to non-white and female voters.
Rove argued that Obama won with a smaller popular vote and a smaller margin of victory than in the 2008 election against Sen. John McCain. Instead of expanding voters, Rove argued, Obama "suppressed the vote" by demonizing former Gov. Mitt Romney and encouraging people not to vote.
"President Obama has become the first president in history to win a second term with a smaller percentage of the vote than he did in the first term," Rove said.
"But he won Karl, he won!" Fox News host Megyn Kelly interjected. Kelly also asked Rove how Republicans intended to appeal to minority groups, especially Hispanics, after doing so much to alienate them in 2012. Rove pointed to Hispanic-voter turnout in Texas to argue that there was no fundamental disconnect between his party and Latino voters.
As many pundits and strategists have pointed out, the Obama campaign succeeded in large part because it appealed to -- and registered -- non-white voters, expanding (rather than suppressing) the vote in key battleground states.
In a subsequent segment, Kelly would cite "demographics" and a "racial divide in the voting booth" that "raised questions" about whether the GOP needed to do more to reach Latinos and African-Americans. "Why can't the Republicans do better with people of color?" she asked her guests.
Rove's appearance on Fox News follows the now-infamous moment from election night when he argued with Kelly and co-host Bret Baier over the network's decision to call Ohio for the president.

On ridding ourselves of Coop
One of the issues that has been brought up here numerous times is: If you're going to fire Coop, who would replace him? The list has been various and sundry - Bobby Valentine, Buck Showalter, Jose Cruz, Brad Ausmus (though Ausmus wouldn't be available until 2010, as he's under contract with the Dodgers and I doubt the Dodgers would let their backup catcher out of his contract to manage another National League team).
But there's something else. When the Astros exercised Cooper's option for 2010 on April 19, they locked themselves in. Managers - especially veteran managers - like job security. If six weeks, or even six months, after extending Cooper's contract through 2010, Wade and McLane go back on their extension and fire him, what self-respecting manager is going to want to come to Houston?
Certainly not one the Astros would want in the clubhouse. Cooper, for better or worse, should be able to manage out this season - it's not like he was given the '55 Dodgers, in the first place. He has made some questionable decisions, and it doesn't seem as though his approval rating is very high, but injuries and inconsistency have hurt this team much more than Cooper has.

Agreed. Word from the dugout is not as bad as the Comicle writers would lead you to believe. The players and coaches are more frustrated with themselves than with Coop.

This is just one of those situations where a manager is set up to fail. Every manager is going to make mistakes, especially an inexperienced one like Coop (I know he's not inexperienced overall, but experience as an assistant and experience as the boss are 2 different things). Let him finish out this season so that we don't create a too obvious merry-go-round at the manager position.
Pick any manager in the MLB, and I doubt they could get this team over .500. I think managers have an impact, no doubt... but I think their impact is overrated.

While I have not agreed with a good deal of Coop's in-game decisions, I don't like the idea of trying to shoe-horn somebody else into this poor of a season. Wait till next year.
Also, I am with jphelps on things maybe not being as bad as reported. I remeber last year, that JJO went off about how bad the clubhouse was and started throwing the word "toxic" around a lot. Just as soon as he did, the Astros started making a run.
And are we really going to listen to Justice when he wrote the other day that he didn't know Coop until he became manager in 07? The man had been the bench coach for a couple of years before that. I like for my Astros reporters to actually be down there with the Astros now and again.
