Obituaries December 19, 2012
Sharon Maureen O'Donnell
Sharon Maureen O'Donnell died of cancer at her East Albany home on December 11, 2012, with her brother Brian and close friends by her side. She died as courageously and intensely as she had lived.
She was born July 6, 1952, and was raised in Connecticut.
After a brief time in New York City performing and recording with The Radiators and other musicians, Ms. O'Donnell, or "Mo" to her friends, moved to the Northeast Kingdom in 1986, with her partner Nancy Lee Kathan, who had taken a job at Catamount Arts. Ms. O'Donnell was a graduate of Goddard College and worked for a time as a film projectionist at Catamount Arts and as a press operator at Troll Press. But she will be remembered by all who knew her as a talented and inspiring musician and performer with the BTUs and other local bands.
Ms. O'Donnell was a veritable one-woman band, as talented on vocals as she was on guitar, drums and keyboard. In 2009, in her home studio in East Albany, she recorded and produced Rogue Element, a powerful and compelling CD of original music. She not only composed the music and wrote all the lyrics, but also played all of the instrumentation herself. She influenced and inspired many young musicians in the area.
Ms. O'Donnell was a spiritual person who found inspiration in the nature of the Northeast Kingdom. She spent much time in meditation at the Buddhist center, Karme-choling. She was also an ardent participant in Native American rituals and ceremonies. A Native American pipe ceremony will be held for her at her home on the spring equinox in March.
Ms. O'Donnell was predeceased by her mother and father and brother Michael.
She is survived by her brother Brian and sisters Laura, Nina and Lisa, as well as cousins Lauren, Susan and Mark.
People wishing to honor and remember Ms. O'Donnell may do so by making a donation in her memory to the outreach hospice program and future residential home, Summer House of the Northeast Kingdom, care of Community National Bank, Church Street, Barton 05822, or care of Donna Tatum, 9 High Street, Orleans, Vermont 05860.
Friends of Maureen are invited to attend a potluck winter solstice celebration in her honor on Friday, December 21, at the home of Susan Blackstone in Westmore from 4 to 8 p.m.
Christine Mary Beerworth
Christine Mary Beerworth, 78, of Jay died on December 12, 2012, in Newport.
She was born on May 13, 1934. Her parents, Charles and Susie (Connors) Gebler, predeceased her, as did her brother Charles and her husband, Robert W. Beerworth.
Mrs. Beerworth was born in Hartford, Connecticut, and lived most of her young life in Rockville, Connecticut. She graduated from Rockville High School in 1952 and the New Britain General Hospital School of Nursing in 1955.
On November 5, 1955, she married Robert W. Beerworth. They made their home in Rockville until 1968 when they moved with their three children to Jay.
Mrs. Beerworth was employed at North Country Hospital for 28 years, having served as director of nursing from 1978 to 1986. In 1983 she went back to college at Castleton State College and completed the BSN program. She retired in 2003 after serving as the school nurse at the Jay-Westfield Elementary School.
She was a member of the St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church in North Troy. She enjoyed music and served as the church choir director for several years. She also enjoyed many crafts, including her handcrafted Christmas ornaments, sewing, knitting, and needlepoint.
Mrs. Beerworth fulfilled her dream of owning a home in Florida with her husband. She spent much of her time there on the beach collecting shells, while her husband, Bob, enjoyed his love for golf.
Mr. and Mrs. Beerworth had three children: John Beerworth and his wife, Mary, of Shrewsbury, Susan Kopec, and Robert Beerworth Jr., of Jay. Mrs. Beerworth is also survived by her five grandchildren: Caeleigh and Connor Beerworth, and Kathryn, Candice, and Jonathan Kopec.
Funeral services were held on December 15 at St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church in North Troy where a Mass was celebrated by the Reverend Ladislaus Mwelinde. Interment followed in the Jay Cemetery.
Should friends desire, contributions in her memory may be made to N.O.R.D. for Restricted Funds for Stiff Person Syndrome, 55 Kenosia Avenue, Danbury, Connecticut 06810.

He was a graduate of Sacred Heart High School in Newport. He then attended St. John's Seminary in Brighton, Massachusetts, to pursue studies in philosophy. He went on to earn a master's of divinity degree at the University of St. Paul's in Ottawa, Ontario. He then served in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Burlington.

Mr. Gaudreau consistently maintained a positive and courageous attitude throughout the course of his illness. He relied on his unwavering faith and spiritual life for strength, inner fortitude and peace.

California voters will consider expanded opportunities for state prisoners to be paroled under Gov. Jerry Brown's initiative that qualified for the fall ballot on Thursday.
Brown, who unveiled his proposal at the end of January and successfully fought back a legal challenge that he had waited too late, has insisted the proposal is both an important fix to sentencing laws he helped loosen in 1977 and necessary to help the state comply with federal court orders to shrink the prison population.
"If approved by the voters, this Public Safety Act will prevent court ordered inmate releases, encourage rehabilitation, and make California safer," said the governor in a written statement on Thursday.
An initiative to add 12 years to the life of temporary income tax rates on Californians earning above $250,000 a year secured a place on the Nov. 8 statewide ballot on Thursday.
The proposal, championed by a coalition of education and healthcare groups, seeks to extend the income tax provisions in 2012's Proposition 30. Those taxes are set to expire in 2018.
The independent Legislative Analyst's Office estimates the tax initiative will bring in at least $5 billion a year. Last month, budget advisors to Gov. Jerry Brown estimated the proposal could be the difference between small budget surpluses or multimillion-dollar deficits two years from now.
California lawmakers sent new gun control legislation to Gov. Jerry Brown's desk on Thursday, including a measure to make it easier to confiscate weapons from someone a court deemed dangerous.
Reporters asked the governor whether he would sign or veto the bills as he left an event outside the Capitol.
His answer?
Spurred by outrage over recent mass shootings, California lawmakers on Thursday sent Gov. Jerry Brown a sweeping package of gun control bills, including a ban on the sale of semi-automatic rifles with detachable magazines, background checks for those buying ammunition and new restrictions on homemade firearms.
The flood of bills was introduced in response to the December terrorist attack in San Bernardino that killed 14 people at a holiday party, but momentum for action swelled after the June 12 mass shooting at an Orlando, Fla., nightclub that killed 49 people.
"The killer sprayed that nightclub with bullets," Senate President Pro Tem Kevin de León (D-Los Angeles) said during the floor debate Thursday. "How could someone filled with so much hate have such easy access to ammunition?"
The author of a $3-billion proposal to build low-income housing statewide still wants the measure to appear before voters in November, even though it won't meet the deadline for getting issues on the ballot.
The measure from Sen. Jim Beall (D-San Jose) has passed the Senate but now is in the Assembly Appropriations Committee awaiting action before would reach the Assembly floor. It requires a two-thirds vote to pass as well as the signature of Gov. Jerry Brown before it goes before voters.
Beall is aiming to get the measure approved by the Assembly committee prior to the Aug. 12 deadline for fiscal legislation, according to his office. Lawmakers have routinely bypassed normal election deadlines in years past to add proposals to the fall ballot late into the summer.
A bipartisan group of legislators sent Gov. Jerry Brown a $2-billion bond measure on Thursday that would provide housing for the homeless who suffer from mental illness.
The proposal, part of a plan unveiled by Senate Democrats in January, would fund new and refurbished housing in communities across California. The bonds will be repaid with proceeds from a tax on incomes above $1 million, approved by voters in 2004 to fund mental health programs.
"Republicans and Democrats alike recognize that finding permanent supportive housing for the chronically homeless suffering from mental illness will improve the quality of life in our communities and give hope to thousands of Californians," said Senate leader Kevin de León (D-Los Angeles) in a statement.
State lawmakers on Thursday sent the governor a bill that would significantly expand a law that allows certain people to petition to the courts to confiscate guns from persons deemed to be dangerous.
Part of a large batch of gun-control measures expected to be acted on Thursday by the Legislature, the "gun violence restraining order" bill was given final legislative approval by the Senate after a debate in which supporters invoked the mass shootings in Orlando, Fla., and San Bernardino and Isla Vista.
The Isla Vista incident in 2014, in which a disturbed man killed six UC Santa Barbara students and wounded 13 others, resulted in a law that took effect in January that allows the police and family members to petition a court for a "gun violence restraining order," removing firearms from persons they believe are dangerous for up to one year.

The Riverhead Town Board discussed Suffolk County's proposed land bank program at the board's Thursday work session.
The land bank allows the county to rehab abandoned and possibly polluted properties and then resell them.
The county needs support of the 10 Suffolk towns to create the land bank, which is reportedly made possible through state legislation passed in 2011 allowing for the creation of 10 land banks across New York State.
Supervisor Sean Walter said an empty lot, which used to house a gas station across from Pulaski Street School, is one property on the county's brownfields list he would like to see rehabbed and sold off.
The board also discussed proposed rules of procedure at Town Board meetings, which includes a plan to cap public comments to five minutes for one individual.
There was also a discussion to amend former congressman George Hochbrueckner's contract with the town to add lobbying to try to get the FAA to locate at EPCAL. He would get paid another $1,000.
Board members also discussed the Concordia assisted living complex long planned for property behind Home Depot off Mill Road.
The meeting started at 10 a.m., following a 9:30 a.m. executive session.

Fresh Decorating Ideas for Valentine's Day

Please welcome Jennifer Lutz, a home décor stylist and author of Christmas Tree Market Blog. Jennifer has some hints for sprucing up your Valentine's Day décor tomorrow, without all the usual hearts and doilies. Please take it away Jennifer, and help us get our homes gussied up and festive in a more modern way!
Decorating for the holidays is an opportunity to create a display that's all your own. However, with a holiday like Valentine's Day, it can be all too easy to fall into the trap of frills, lace, and paper hearts. Put a more modern, subtle twist to your Valentine's Day décor this year with these simple yet lovely DIY home decorating ideas.
Create a Valentine's Day Mantel Display
The living room is the perfect place to decorate for Valentine's Day—there's enough space that you can create a Valentine's Day look without overwhelming your family or guests. To create your perfect Valentine's Day mantel, try using any of these charming home décor ideas.
Combine Books and Flowers
Placing books and flowers on your mantel makes for an elegant yet affordable Valentine set-up. Display some of your books with their spines upright on your mantel as you would on your bookshelf. Then, place some tulips inside a mason jar filled with water, and display them next to the books to create a simple Valentine's Day decoration. For a more traditional but still low-key look, books with red and pink spines, or even stories themed around love, would be a sweet touch. You can also add more visual interest if you place some books lying down and then putting a clock or a photo on top of the stack.
Utilize Twigs and Vases
Another Valentine idea is to bring the outside in. Grab a handful of twigs lying around in your yard, and place them in tall hurricane glasses or vases. Fill up the vases with white beads or decorative balls to keep your twigs upright, then place them anywhere on your mantel. For balance, ready two twig vases and place them on both ends of your mantel. This look works not only for Valentine's Day, but for winter décor as well.
Drape a Valentine's Day-themed Garland
Make your Valentine display even prettier with a DIY garland. Buy some red and white pompoms at your local store, and use baker's twine to string them together. Simple and adorable, this garland ties the Valentine's Day theme together.
Make Use of Candles
Round out your Valentine's Day display with candles. Place candles of various sizes along the length of your mantel to create some more visual texture. You can stick with white candles, or if you prefer to give your display a Valentine boost, use red or pink candles.
Please share your favorite Valentine's Day decorating in the Comments section!

Kelly Rowland rescued off coast of Massachusetts
Former DESTINY'S CHILD star KELLY ROWLAND was rescued off the coast of Massachusetts on Friday (19Jul13) after her private whale watching boat was pushed too far out to sea.
The Survivor hitmaker was on a sightseeing trip with four other pals when they lost control of the boat due to strong winds and were forced to call the Coast Guard at the Stellwagen National Marine Sanctuary for help.
Officials escorted the group back to Provincetown later that evening and according to local publication Wicked Local, the singer and her friends were unharmed.
Rowland put the ordeal behind her on Saturday (20Jul13) with a shopping trip to local furniture shops, according to UsMagazine.com.

Symptoms of HIV versus Diabetes
Hi Dr. Bob,
I know symptoms mean nothing in terms of HIV. The same probably goes for diabetes. Only blood tests can ascertain what one might have.
However, I'm trying to gauge what could possibly be causing my symptoms. Yes, I'm still experiencing symptoms. Severe dry skin (with flaking) of the face and hands along with flat warts on my hands are a few new symptoms I am now experiencing.
After reading a bunch of stuff out on the web on both HIV and diabetes, it appears symptoms of HIV and diabetes intersect. In other words, many of the same symptoms can appear in both disorders (not including the bout of HPV on my hands, albeit I could be wrong). Is this correct? Why is this, from a medical perspective?
By the way, my period of abstinence came to an end, just recently. Although, it was long overdue (almost 9 months), I still hold "what if I am really infected" thoughts and fear I over infecting my wife.
Do you still think I'm whacked?
Thanks again,
Symptoms of HIV and Diabetes Addendum (Submitted Apr 7, 2010)
Hi Dr. Bob,
I forgot to mention other symptoms I'm experiencing. Please merge this post with my previous post.
It appears I have minor folliculitis on my hands and wrists; joint/muscle pain in many areas of my body; and strange/painful sensations near lymph nodes of my left armpit and neck (not sure if stress/anxiety is causing the latter).
Do you still believe this isn't HIV? Could it be diabetes?
The reason why I mention diabetes is due to other symptoms I'm experiencing: new skin tag formations (one was on my face); sporadic tingling sensations in my hands and feet (also seen in HIV); extreme hunger throughout the day, where I get dizzy sometimes; and fatigue (seen in HIV as well).
I have a genetic predisposition for diabetes. It runs rampant in the paternal side of my family. Further, I put on lots of weight since that kiss in July '09 (comfort food eating, due to depression/fear).
Could my genotype coupled with environmental triggers of not eating well and not exercising, joined with tons of stress have lead to a phenotypic outcome of diabetes and not HIV after all?
Just curious on your thoughts.
Hello Whacked-Francophone,
Diagnosing HIV and/or diabetes is not rocket science. In fact it's so straightforward that even a Republican could figure it out. (OK, well not the mad-hatter Tea Party lunatics, but most of the others.) If your HIV test is negative outside the window period, you don't have HIV. If blood sugar levels, glucose tolerance and hemoglobin A1C are normal, you don't have diabetes. Period. End of story.
Your problem is anxiety and depression (and being whacked) plus a few mild common skin conditions. None of these symptoms are worrisome for HIV or diabetes. Stop trying to self-diagnose. It only feeds your anxiety. Besides, you've never attended medical school so you are not qualified.
I continue to urge you to seek the help of a psychiatrist. It's your head, not your immune system that's whacked! Conquering your irrational fears and getting control of your anxiety/depression is the first step in regaining both your physical and psychological well-being. See a dermatologist if your skin conditions are bothersome.

Does my cat think I have HIV?: Who is the spiciest of 'em all? Mar 11, 2010
Hi Dr. Frascino,
My spicy comment was a play on words from a spelling error from your previous post. You said Dr. Gallant "is an exceptionally insightful and knowledgeable HIV spiciest".
I was having a bit of fun ;-)
In reality, you are by far spicier though (I will leave this at that).
When you say "If you don't believe us, just get retested and we'll both tell you 'I told you so.'", are you 100% certain (with no ambiguity whatsoever), that I could not have gotten HIV from that kiss?
Response from Dr. Frascino
Hi Francophobe,
My new Mac is still trying to substitute words for me as I speed type. Hence "specialist" became "spiciest." I'll have to tell Dr. Gallant about that. I'm sure he'll get a charge out of it.
I am quite relieved nonetheless to still hold the reigning title for "spiciest" cyber-sexpert!
Finally, yes, I'm 100% certain and so is un-spicy Dr. Gallant. Neither of us is ambiguous (Mac just tried to make ambiguous "ambidextrous!").
Do you remember the lyrics to the old song: "You must remember this, a kiss is just a kiss, as time goes by." I suggest you start singing it (and believing it) frevinsakes!
Dr. Bob
Does my cat think I have HIV?: Acquiescence is upon us! Mar 9, 2010
Hi Dr. Frascino,
Sure, I know contracting HIV via french kissing is an extremely rare event. However, for something to be a rare event, it must happen rarely. If it didn't, then it would be dubbed "completely nonexistent" (your words).
I don't want to be another rare statistic (or any statistic), nor find out five years from now that I'm infected and infected my spouse. My wife wants to start a family soon. Can you see why I'm whacked?
One thing that puzzles me a bit is how both you and Dr. Gallant (the spiciest HIV specialist) completely disregarded the symptoms I've experienced right after my negative test (symptoms came on pretty close to the ARS time frame). Are you telling me and everyone reading this thread that my test is conclusive? Hell, testing this early in Whackachusetts isn't considered conclusive (although close). What makes my test and situation different?
I am very close to acquiescing to the fact I might not be infected. A good answer to this may be the last nail in the coffin of hell I'm going through.
Thanks again,
Whacked Out Francophobe (formely known as Freaked Out)
Response from Dr. Frascino
Hello WOF (Whacked Out Francophobe),
If you don't believe us, just get retested and we'll both tell you "I told you so." No, actually we're such nice guys and much too professional to do that. Rather we'll just calmly say WOO-HOO without a whole lot of enthusiasm. Now I've got a question for you. Why do you think Gallant is spicier than moi?
Dr. Bob
Does my cat think I have HIV?: Show and tell. Mar 8, 2010
Hi Dr. Frascino,
I summarized my three previous posts and asked Dr. Joel Gallant his thoughts (http://www.hopkins-aids.edu/q_a/patient/recent_questions/french_kissing_hiv_transmission_with_a_twist.html?contentInstanceId=516502&siteId=7151). Although his answer definitely redefines the phrase "brevity is bliss", it appears he agrees with you.
I still feel like something is wrong with me virologically, albeit I have two HIV specialists telling me I'm whacked.
Response from Dr. Frascino
Hello Francophobe,
Well, it's now two against one that you are indeed whacked. So I guess that settles that, right? (By the way, I think Dr. Gallant is an exceptionally insightful and knowledgeable HIV spiciest! I would strongly suggest you believe him!)
Dr. Bob
French Kissing HIV Transmission with a twist Posted on Feb 21, 2010
Hi Dr. Gallant, In July '09, I french kissed a high HIV risk homosexual man for a couple of minutes (he conceded about being intimate with an HIV positive man before), after having too much to drink. Yes, I am another "in vino veritas" case. I brushed my teeth about 1/2 hour before kissing him. My gums tend to bleed after I brush my teeth. Also, after kissing him, I ate nachos and had a chip lodged into my gum line, where I bled a bit. I did get an antibody test (rapid) about 4 1/2 weeks after kissing him, which came out negative. I thought all was said and done with this. However, a few days after my negative test, I developed an acne-type rash all over my back, legs, shoulders, arms and chest. I also had a couple of canker sores in my mouth. I am unaware of ever having a fever during this time. Today, I have joint and muscle aches throughout my body. I still have this acne-type rash, albeit it has subsided a bit. I asked this question to Dr. Bob Frascino on TheBody.com. He pretty much said I am completely whacked and should not even worry about this. What is your take on my risk, given my symptoms? I would like to hear this from you since you are a leading authority within HIV medicine/research. I am afraid of infecting my wife, if I am positive. We have not had sex since July '09. Much obliged,
On Feb 21, 2010 Joel E. Gallant, M.D., M.P.H. replied:
I'm with Dr. Bob!
Does my cat think I have HIV?: Take Three! Feb 8, 2010
Hi Dr. Frascino,
I did follow your advice and did not get tested again, given my essentially nonexistent risk of french kissing a promiscuous guy (He did concede being intimate with someone with HIV in the past, so chances he himself is infected is high in my estimation).
However, I have be experiencing some really troubling physical ailments. Since my previous post, I have been getting some really annoying joint pain in my wrists, fingers (sometimes pins and needles from my wrist into my pinkies), ankles, knees, elbows and forearms. Also, my deltoids constantly hurt. All of this is conjoined with capricious dull pain in my neck and arm pits, near my lymph nodes.
Are any of these symptoms indicative of having HIV at all?
I just want to mention how miserable I am and cannot shake the thought that I am infected, given these symptoms.
I have not had sex with my wife since July '09, due to fear of infecting her. For us, this is a drastic change, given we had sex at least two to three times per week for 10 years! She has been querying me as to why and when I bring up what happened, she freaks out.
I am begging you once again to kick the sense back into me, if I am totally wrong/off on my conviction of being infected. I can't find much in the medical literature over the risk of becoming infected from french kissing. It's as if there is a huge hole in the literature. Either, researchers/experts are too willing to brush-off french kissing as a risk or french kissing isn't much of a risk. To err on the side of caution, I am leaning towards the former versus the latter. Please correct me if I am wrong about this.
Please be aware, I am not concerned about myself, but my wife. I don't think I could continue to live, if was infected and infected her.
Best regards,
Response from Dr. Frascino
Hello again FOF (Freaked Out Francophone),
You haven't had sex with your wife since July '09??? WHAT??? Well no wonder you're so "miserable" and she's freaking out!
Dude, reread my responses to your two previous posts. My assessment hasn't changed. Your "symptoms" are not indicative of or worrisome for HIV. Your problem is psychological, not virological! Yep, it is all in your head, not your blood!
You're a bit to whacked t the moment for me to "kick the sense back into you" over the Internet. (I would need to wear combat boots and do the kicking in person.) My strong recommendation to restore your psychological well-being, your physical well-being and your marital sex life is that you seek the help of a psychiatrist. You had a nonexistent risk and you've had a negative HIV test. You really can't get any more negative than that! Your symptoms are suggestive of anxiety, not HIV. You seem unable to accept the overwhelming and irrefutable evidence of your HIV-negative status. Psychiatric intervention is unquestionably warranted to help you cope with a variety of issues, including guilt, irrational fear and perhaps your sexual orientation.
FOF, I actually do understand how miserable you feel at the moment. I do hope you'll follow my advice!
Dr. Bob
RE: Does my cat think I have HIV? Nov 13, 2009
Hi Dr. Bob,
Thanks for assessing my risk. You've "sort of" smacked some reason back into me, albeit I do harbour some fear. I just have a few follow-up questions, where knowing these answers may alleviate/eradicate the fear I hold.
I did mention I had an acne-type rash, which came on about 5 weeks after the incident. I failed to mention that I had a couple of reoccurring oral sores and my have had lymphadenopathy in my neck (although I'm no doctor, so I really don't know what a swollen lymph node feels like). I had no fever. Do you think I went through ARS?
I did have a rapid stick test 4 weeks and 5 days after the incident, which came back negative. I do know tests given before the 3 month mark are not definitive. However, did I need to test in the first place, given that my only risk was kissing a person of unknown status? Do I need further testing?
Given my risk, do you think it's safe for me to have unprotected sex with my wife?

Nope! Not a chance!
Nope! and nope!

Does my cat think I have HIV? Nov 2, 2009
Hi Dr. Bob.
Happy belated Halloween. BOO! Did I scare ya? Doh! I guess I shouldn't quit my day job!
In all seriousness, I'm not sure if my experience falls under the umbrella of extenuating circumstances. I need your help before I go completely insane (I might just be half-way there).
About four months ago, while extremely intoxicated, I had french kissed a highly promiscuous gay man half an hour after brushing my teeth (my gums frequently bleed while I brush). The kiss lasted for only a minute. Following the kiss, I had eaten a plate a nachos. A nacho had gotten wedged under the my gumline, which may have caused a cut.
Two to three weeks after this game of tonsil hockey, I became overwhelmed with intense fear. I scavenged the internet looking to see if I had put myself at risk and was only met with contradictory answers, which added fuel to my anxiety. Some mornings I would wake up hours before my alarm clock, enveloped with trepidation and completely sweaty.
What I find odd on some of these mornings was my cat would be perched on my chest, staring at me. Normally, my cat doesn't really give a damn about me. She's more attached to my wife, than to me. Does my cat sense that I may have caught HIV? People do say that pets can sense the well-being of their caregivers, so finding my cat on my chest staring at me during the average seroconversion timeframe scares the living bejeezus out of me.
During this timeframe, I had also experience extreme fatigue and difficulty concentrating. Not sure if my OCD was in hyperdrive or whether I may have sealed my fate with a kiss.
Five weeks after the incident, I developed what appeared to be acne all over my back, trapezius, deltoids, and some on my stomach, albeit not all had white/blackheads. Some where just little red dots. Could this be ARS related symptoms?
My wife and I want to start a family soon and I am extremely afraid that I may have screwed up our lives.
I have leveled with my wife and told her all about this incident. She's thinks I'm completely bananas, but that still doesn't arrest my fear.
A donation is forthcoming.
Freaked out Francophobe
Response from Dr. Frascino
Hello Freaked Out Francophobe,
Your OCD is OOC (out of control). Does your cat sense you have acquired HIV??? No. If Miss Kitty is picking up anything at all, it's just that dad is totally bonkers and she is wondering if you've been hitting the catnip a bit too hard.
Your HIV-acquisition risk is essentially nonexistent. If my reassurance is not sufficient to reason the bejesus back into you, get a single HIV-antibody test at the three-month mark. The result will undoubtedly be negative, but if that is what it takes to keep you out of a padded cell and straightjacket, it will be worth the time and effort.
Thank you for your donation to The Robert James Frascino AIDS Foundation (www.concertedeffort.org). In return, I'm sending you my good-luck karma that you are and will stay HIV negative.
Good luck.
Dr. Bob

Passive RFID is most amenable to being totally printed because, in most cases, the logic consists of just a memory chip. However, although printing the microprocessors commonly used in active RFID is probably ten years off, the opportunity to print the antennas, sensors, interconnects and batteries
is much closer. The primary motivation is to make these devices thinner, flexible and lower in cost.

NORTH DARTMOUTH, MA-The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth's women's tennis team won two of the three doubles matches, and went on to defeat visiting Southern Maine, 5-1, in a first round match in the Little East Conference Tournament at the UMass Dartmouth Athletic Complex Tuesday. Following conference rules, the match was terminated as soon as the Corsairs won five matches.
A close win at number two doubles gave UMass Dartmouth a 2-1 lead entering singles play. Sophomores Angela Pollard (Portsmouth, RI/Portsmouth HS) and Allison Furtado (Fairhaven, MA/Fairhaven HS) put the Corsairs ahead when they outlasted juniors Emily Boutin (Old Town, ME) and Ali Hartley (Boothbay Harbor, ME/Boothbay HS) at number two doubles, 9-8 (7-2).
Freshman Hannah Schulze (Chelmsford, MA/Chelmsford HS) and junior Liz Girczyc (Attleboro, MA/Attleboro HS) staked UMass Dartmouth to a 1-0 lead when they defeated freshman Molly Morrill (Litchfield, ME/Oak Hill HS) and sophomore Leah Churchill (Cumberland Foreside, ME/Greeley HS) at number three doubles, 8-2. Sophomore Mary Moran (Windham, ME/Portland HS) and junior Tegan Talbot (Topsham, ME/Mt. Ararat HS) tied the match when they defeated sophomore Nicole Pelletier (Swansea, MA/Case HS) and senior Courtney Morey (Mashpee, MA/Mashpee HS) at number one doubles.
"Second doubles was a good, tight, exciting match," said UMass Dartmouth Head Coach Ralph Perry. "We were up, 6-4, they came back and took the lead at 7-6, we went ahead, 8-7, and then they tied it up before we won it in the breaker. Both teams played extremely hard, and Southern Maine played us extremely tough, and without our win at second doubles, the score could easily have gone the other way.""
The Corsairs won the first three singles matches that were decided to clinch the victory. Girczyc defeated Churchill at number six, 6-2, 6-2; Pelletier downed Moran at number one, 6-2, 6-0; and Schulze defeated Morrill at number five, 6-3, 6-1. The Huskies were leading in the other three singles matches when the match ended. "Nicole played extremely well at number one singles, and both Hannah and Liz were in control right from the start," said Perry. We're very pleased with our performance." The Corsairs improved to 9-4 with the victory, while the Huskies dropped to 8-8 with the defeat. UMass Dartmouth advanced to the semi-finals, and will play at Bridgewater State Thursday afternoon. The match was the final action of the season for Southern Maine. "We'll be going up against an extremely tough Bridgewater State team Thursday," said Perry. "They are undefeated in the conference, and solid from top to bottom. We have to play extremely well to have a chance." UMASS DARTMOUTH TENNIS

Osaka Gas will occupy 10,850 square feet in the 22-story office tower under construction at 2200 Post Oak Blvd. The lease brings the building to 70 percent occupancy, development officials said Tuesday.
The space will serve as Osaka's national headquarters and will be the company's largest presence in the United States. The Japanese utility recently signed a 20-year liquefaction tolling agreement with Freeport LNG at a proposed natural gas liquefaction and LNG loading facility near Freeport, noted Stream Realty Partners, which is developing the building with Redstone Cos.
John Schlacter of TX Wide Realty represented Osaka Gas in lease negotiations.
BBVA Compass will be the building's main tenant. The company plans to consolidate its Houston operations there, occupying 185,000 square feet. Worldwide Machinery has also leased space in the building.
The 318,189-square-foot tower is also known as BBVA Compass Plaza.

Tuberville Gets Deal Done
By Jay Coulter
The long national nightmare is over. I don't mean to go Nick Saban on you; but mercifully, the Tommy Tuberville contract negotiations are over.
Tuberville agreed to a contract extension on Tuesday night that will ensure his kids have clothes and a roof over their heads for the next six years.
Athletic Director Jay Jacobs flew into New York today and quickly went into negotiations with Tuberville that lead to the deal.
How does it look?
It looks strikingly similar to the deal that was offered to Tuberville last week in Auburn. Here are the particulars:
The extension brings the current contract to six years and guarantees a $200,000 a year raise for the life of the agreement. Not bad money if you can get it.
The buyout will remain at $6 million for 2008 and then drop to $5 million for 2009. During the final four years of the deal, the buyout will drop to $4 million. This is a two way buyout that puts both parties on the hook should either wish to terminate the deal early.
Tuberville was all smiles as he headed to the National Football Foundation Dinner.
"We love it here and it's a great place," Tuberville said. "People want us here and we want to be here. We love it. That's really what makes it great."
Tuberville did his best to downplay the controversy that has surrounded him the last week.
"We just had not had a chance to get together," Tuberville says. "He (Jacobs) has been out of town and I have been out of town. Jay got here today and we talked things through.
"I had a contract. This is a two-year extension. I wanted to make sure everyone was satisfied with what we were doing. They were. They are excited as I am."
Look for the spotlight to now focus on coordinators' Will Muschamp and Al Borges.
Muschamp is a hot name in coaching circles and is getting a serious look by Georgia Tech and Southern Miss.
Questions around Borges will center on whether or not he's retained for a fifth season on the Plains. He's seen his offensive production drop the last couple of years.
Auburn is bringing back a lot of talent next season on offense. It will be interesting to see how Tuberville decides to handle it.

Hey, check out this trailer for a feature length film shot on almost no budget!
Written and Directed by Trey Cartwright. Carlos LaRotta plays a stand up comedian in one scene.
Music! Jokes! East Texas Flavor!
I made this little promo bumper spot thing. Space trash! That's one of the prop medium format cameras from the studio where we shot the moon landing. That was tough, had to pump all the air out of the room.

shot and cut by: Trey Cartwright
(concept by Michael Pontecorvo @ Downtown)
White Denim wobbles back and forth through time and plays a High School Prom comprised of kids from the late 80's, early 90's and mid 90's. What does this mean? Three damn prom queens, man, that's what.
Friday May 20, 2011, was National Bike to Work day. Since I freelance, I don't really "commute" but I do try to ride my bike every time I have to go into downtown Austin.
Also, all the local bike shops, coffee shops and other local biz were hooking cyclists up with a li'l free continental breakfast as part of the celebration of more bikes on the roads.
I totally scammed em all cause I wasn't actually going to work. Unless you count work as riding around to all the breakfast stops. Since I felt guilty about this deception I ended up staying on the road a lot longer than I had planned for and put in just over 50 miles of bike riding. That's a personal record. I hadn't done more than 30 miles before yesterday.
Along the way I snapped pics of my old Sears brand early 1990s trapper-keeperesque-splatter-paint-framed 12 speed bike in front of interesting Austin landmarks.

Like many an American tonight, I couldn't sleep very well due to the exciting explosion of news about Osama Bin Laden's capture/death. So, after a few hours combing the web for more Bin Laden details, I tried to work on some stuff I've been putting off. Couldn't do that either. Then, a friend of mine, Patrick, posted something on Facebook which reminded me that there is one man who will be resting well tonight. TOBY KEITH. I found that I could write about THAT, at least:
TK leans over a Kitchen island counter, staring at the TV. He takes a puff of his cigarette and ashes into a beer can. He appears weary. CAMERA PANS UP to reveal that he has the entire population of the United States sitting on his shoulders.
…On screen we see a NEWS REPORTER talking of Osama Bin Laden's death.
Finally, after nearly 10 years, justice has been served, Americans can perhaps rest a bit eas…
TK turns the tv OFF, and drops his cigarette into the beer can. We hear it briefly SIZZLE.
Affixed to the walls of his home office are numerous gold record plaques and framed photos of TK with his fans and various celebrities and politicians.
TK walks over to a large DRESSER the size of the continental United States. He begins to slowly take each GOD FEARIN' CITIZEN from off his shoulders, one by one, and places them into the drawers of the dresser.
You the man, Toby!
Thanks, TK.
He pulls the DIXIE CHICKS down from his shoulders and looks at them lovingly.
(singing in perfect harmony)
Fuck you, Toby Keith!
TK laughs warmly and pets their hair, and then gingerly places them into the drawer. Finally, he places the last American Citizen into the dresser. He SIGHS DEEPLY and pushes the drawer shut. TK stares at the dresser, wiping dust from the top.
(grinning, shaking his head)
TK enters his bedroom, switching on a Lamp by the door. His wife gently SNORES in bed. In the background, across the hall, we see his Office, a cone of light directly pouring over the dresser. TK takes his Carhartt jacket off, exposing a shoulder strap HOLSTER. In the holster, a single MICROPHONE. He takes the Mic from the holster and stares at it, turning it, inspecting it. The microphone glints in the light – dents and scratches showing its age and mileage. TK puts the microphone into an old purple Crown Royal bag and then tucks it into his night-stand. He walks back to the door and stares at the U.S.A-sized dresser across the hall. He rubs his right shoulder, massaging it. He shakes his head and turns the lamp OFF.
In the DARKNESS, we can barely make out a moonlight-rimmed TK, sitting down on his bed, rubbing his shoulder again.
So, one could argue that White Denim really likes to keep it in the family (fortunately). Having gone to college and being buddies with Jimmy from WD, we were able to convince them to let us do a few music videos for them back when Birds On Fire Films was first forming – more as a favor to us, as we really needed some work under our belt. Then, a few years later, our sister production company, Alonestar Films, also more college friends of ours and WD, got a chance to make this video for White D: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFRyd_Up7tY
And now, another group of filmmakers formed out of friends of ours from our college days got to make this new video for White Denim's "Drug", off their new album "D". And I have to say, it is THE music video White Denim has always deserved (from their pals, at least – British Director, Tom Haines, has done some incredible videos for White Denim). It's an amazing work of art, and I hope you enjoy. Much respect and love to Michael Hammett and Aaron Weiss and Bobby Weiss (By the way, these dudes are all cousins! Crazy.)
Hello, gang.
Gang, so, I recently came across this old postcard that I made a while back. Back when I started teaching myself Photoshop, I used to enjoy making postcards and fold-able greeting cards for my friends to use and send to other people. I may post some more of those at a later date. But for today, since we haven't posted in a while, I thought I'd share this ol girl with you.
The idea is that you drag the image to your desktop (or what have you), print it on nice card-stock paper, write in the address of someone you wanna say "fuck you" to, put a stamp on it and mail it off. I know you can make your own postcards (apparently you can mail a brick through the USPS as long as you put the proper postage on it), but I'm not sure about the whole "fuck you" thing on the front. I don't know, probably you can, I once got a postcard with that three-tittied gal from Total Recall on it, so…probably kosher.
And being that nowadays the only mail we receive are either bills or bills addressed to people who don't live in our house, getting a real postcard from a friend is a nice, nostalgic gesture…even if it's telling them they're a piece of shit bus and that you're a bad ass monster truck hopping over them.
Awwwwlright, so, SXSW has finally released the bumper-promos we helped produce with that crazy/sexy/cool pal of ours and bad ass director, Joe Nicolosi. One of them (the "Mario Mumblecore Trailer" we posted about previously and previously-er) is on fire on, in and around the internet today.
It was a pleasure working with Joe on these lil guys, I'm so pleased they came out so well. Joe Nicolosi is a maniac, but an extremely talented one, so when he came up to me and said (roughly) "hey, dude, wanna help me produce FIVE bumpers for SXSW in less than a month?", it was not hard for me to not slap him in the face. Not only did I not slap him, I told him "Sure, man, sounds fun…you motherfucker!" That's pretty much how it went down except for the "motherfucker" part – I just added that for dramatic effect.
Anyway, here are the bumpers. The first one is "Mario". The second one is "Constellations" (which I actually didn't get to do entirely too much producing on, but Trey did work as gaffer on it, and lit it purty nicely, like he do. Like he done do all the time).
EDIT: I'd also like to do a shout out to Mario and Luigi – Clay Crenshaw and Jason Newman, respectively – whose acting on the Mario Mumblecore Trailer was, in all sincerity, glorious. They both did such an excellent job. I can't imagine that it's easy to display that kind of real emotion and drama for the sake of some nerdy filmmakers trying to make a joke. And to think, Clay is actually a Graphic Designer/Artist by profession. Jason Newman can be seen in the lead role of the upcoming comedy from Pepper Island Films, The Man From Orlando, (which looks so great, by the way, check out their website).
hope you enjoyed those. If you didn't, you're probably my older brother, Travis. Fuck you, Travis, get off my back!
Last night, immediately after watching a SXSW screening of Joseph Kahn's "Detention" at the Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar, I walked about 400 feet over to Highball and – mind you, my comedy-geek ass has no qualms about saying this – saw the funniest fucking show I have seen in a long time. Twasn't a movie (necessarily) and it twasn't just a comedy show (exactly), but rather was Back to the Future: LIVE. The title says it all. It's the movie Back to the Future, but Live and on-stage and most definitely all up in your greasy lil face.
The production, put on by The Old Murder House Theatre comedy team and starring a fellow filmmaker buddy of ours, Kirk Johnson of Beef & Sage, set out to recreate the first Back to the Future movie with what I'm guessing (liberally) was a budget of $100. How does one recreate Back to the Future (quite literally almost line-for-goddamn-line) with a budget like that? With Cardboard and some finely-tuned comedy chops, my dudes, that's how.
Sure, that idea is one of those "sounds pretty funny, I guess" ideas, but like anything else, it's all in the execution. It's all in the way that Marty and George McFly's mannerisms are so spot-on, but how Lorraine's are intentionally NOT. I really want to say more about it, but I don't want to give anything away like some kind of spoiler ass asshole.
I'll just say this: I laughed so hard, and so often, that I not only found myself dizzy after the show, but on the drive home I also got to enjoy that delirious kind of buzz you get when you're 13 years old and hanging out with your funniest, most moronic of friends. That's the best way I can describe it. The kind of night when everyone and everything is hilarious, your ribs ache from laughing, your brain turns to slop from too much/too little oxygen, and all is right with the world – cus you're 13 years old, your friend's impression of Doc Brown is so god damn insanely funny and you just don't give a shit bout nuthin'.
Anyway, I don't normally write "reviews" or put the word "reviews" in "quotes" (or make quote-jokes), but as one could probably tell, I did enjoy this show immensely. So much so that I woke up today and had to write about it. Please go see this thing and keep a look out for further Old Murder House productions (I'm now really pissed at myself for missing their Die Hard meets Home Alone mash-up thing back in December). They have one more showing of Back to the Future: LIVE, next Monday, March 21st at Highball.
Back To The Future Live was created by and stars:
Kirk Johnson, Sam Eidson, Byron Brown, Josh Jones, and Nate Sakulich.

FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Technology companies Siemens, Mitsubishi Electric and Toshiba Corp have lost an appeal at Europe's highest court over a ruling made in 2007 that they were part of a cartel selling electrical equipment.
The European Court of Justice (ECJ) said in a statement that the fine of 397 million euros ($546.4 million) handed down to Siemens, as well as the finding that Mitsubishi and Toshiba participated in the cartel were thus final.
The European Commission had fined a total of 10 companies including Alstom and Areva in 2007 for taking part in a gas insulated switchgear cartel, with the 750 million euro total penalty the largest ever delivered by the watchdog at the time.
While Mitsubishi and Toshiba had succeeded in getting their fines annulled by the General Court of the European Union, the Commission has since recalculated the amounts, setting a 74.8 million euro penalty for Mitsubishi and 56.8 million for Toshiba.
Siemens said it respected the decision of the court.
Mitsubishi and Toshiba said they would fight to get the fines reduced. They currently have appeals pending at the General Court.
The cartel, which used code names for firms and individuals to avoid detection, had operated for more than 16 years, with agreements between the European companies not to sell in Japan and vice-versa, the Commission had previously said.
(This story has been refiled to correct paragraph 4 to show the Commission, not the ECJ, has recalculated the fine for Mitsubishi and Toshiba)

The Raiders rushed for 182 yards and three touchdowns en route to a 21-3 halftime lead against the Steelers Sunday.
Terrelle Pryor scored on a 93-yard run and Darren McFadden had runs of 7 and 4 yards. Pittsburgh's lone points came on a 47-yard Shaun Suisham field goal. Suisham also missed from 34 yards late in the first half after Brice Butler couldn't handle an easy catch from Pryor and it turned into a deflected interception by the Steelers.

I had a craving this week for a macaroni salad my Mom used to make when I was a kid, you know the one with the elbow macaroni, peas and onions? One of the challenges of being Vegan is how to get the taste of the comfort foods you remember but in a healthier, vegetable based way.
Here's my take on Pea and Onion Pasta Salad – brown rice based elbow macaroni by Tinkyada Pasta Joy (gluten-free), canned organic peas, a little finely diced red onion and Veganaise. Mix and refrigerate for a bit to allow the flavors to blend. Yum!
That got me on a kick of trying to figure out how to make Vegan Enchiladas. I used corn tortillas (check the label because many brands have some gluten, etc. incorporated) and fried them in a bit of olive oil to soften them, added a mixture of rice and almond based "cheddar" cheeses, and sat them in a bed of homemade enchilada sauce from a wonderful recipe I found online (see: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/emeril-lagasse/easy-enchilada-sauce-recipe/index.html – I just modified this to vegetable broth rather than chicken stock and used organic versions on the canned goods). Place the "cheese" filled rolled tortillas in a baking pan that has some of the homemade sauce in the bottom, cover with a little more sauce, a little "cheese" and place it in a 350* oven for about 15-20 minutes until the sauce is bubbling. Eat and enjoy!
Tabbouleh is a wonderful staple for lunch. In this version I've added up about 2 cups (cooked) couscous (not gluten-free! You can substitute cooked Quinoa for the couscous if you are trying to lose the gluten) according to the package directions. The version I used today had some brown rice, lentils and spices already in the mix. I chopped up one bunch of fresh parsley finely. Make sure and dry it thoroughly before trying to chop it up or you will have a big mess! Two Roma tomatoes finely diced and a little bit of red onion diced. Put all of these ingredients in a large bowl with the juice of one lemon, 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper and tossed to mix up.
I've been packing up all my food in single serving sized containers so that I can just grab them and throw them in my lunch bag so I don't have to spend a lot of time cooking during the busy work week!
What's your favorite comfort food? Have you experimented with making it more vegetarian friendly? Post your comments below!

Pee-wee's beach cruiser bike makes a fortune on eBay
Pee-wee Herman's memorable beach cruiser bike from the 1985 movie Pee-wee's Big Adventure sold for $36,000 on eBay.
The seller said the shiny red bike comes with an autographed photo of actor Paul Reubens, a picture of him signing the photo, a certificate of authenticity, and the bike's plans and spec sheet from Warner Bros., done on the red cargo boxes.
The seller said he was the third owner of the bike and bought it in 2010 for $10,000.
So why did the person sell it? A growing family. There's no warranty and although the bike was dismantled and is in pieces, "everything is there," according to the eBay description.
