White Chocolate Macadamia Brownie Cookies
James and I disagree on many things.
The most comfortable temperature for the apartment?
(Freezing cold, please.)
The comedic merits of Will Ferrell movies?
(The fart scene in Stepbrothers is funny, and I will cut you if you disagree.)
...and, politics. Let's just say that we'll both need to take a sedative on November 8, 2016 if we plan to be in the same room.
Fortunately, we're very compatible on most other things, particularly, that we're both weirdos who don't really need any alone time or personal space. When we're not working, we pretty much spend every waking moment together and neither of us would have it any other way.
So, when I found myself alone two nights in a row last week while James was out of town, I didn't know what to do with myself. Long story short, I made these super chocolaty cookies out of boredom and exercised a superhuman level of self control by only sampling two. I deserve a medal for that, because these are GOOD. They're extremely rich and fudgy with a bit of crunch from the macadamias, and stay soft for eons.
The weekend is about to begin, so that's enough about cookies.
To my U.S. readers, have a great holiday weekend! Drink lots of beer and eat lots of grilled meats!
That's my plan, anyway. (Lies! I will be at the beach in 8 days and am eating cotton balls and air all weekend.)

Creamy Caprese Quinoa Bake
Everyone loves quinoa, right? Wrong.
For a very long time I regarded quinoa with a healthy dose of disdain, and believed that its only purpose on this earth was to be health food, not delicious, desirable food.
Then, one day last month I was wandering around DC on an unseasonably frigid day trying to find some lunch, and on a whim I ordered a bowl of turkey chili served atop quinoa from a place near my office. It was shockingly delicious, so I acquiesced and said something that I rarely admit: I was wrong. Quinoa is delicious as long as it's mixed with with stuff like chili, or in this case, tomato sauce, basil, and loads of cheese.
I made this for lunch yesterday, and it was so good we already added it to the dinner menu for this week. It's fast, easy, and fairly healthy - everything I look for in a weeknight dinner.
I served this as a main course, but I think it would make a great side dish to some grilled chicken breasts. If you want to bulk it up with some meat, I bet cooked Italian sausage would be a great addition (add it in when mixing up the sauce!)
For my fellow quinoa skeptics out there, give this recipe a chance. For non-quinoa skeptics, well, you were right. Gloat away.

Skinny Chocolate Chip Buttermilk Scones
I'm slacking at blogging again.
You guys have nooo idea how long it's taken for me to get this blog post published. I've had to rewrite it twice because it became dated and irrelevant.
While my busy schedule has been partially to blame, my lack of blogging is also because I've been cooking a lot of boring things. James and I have been on a bit of a health kick (to counteract the effects of our prior wine and Indian food kick) and I don't think you guys want to see photos of salmon and asparagus three times a week.
Since one cannot live on salmon alone, I made these incredible lightened up scones last month that don't taste a tiny bit light. These aren't actually healthy. They still contain butter, flour, and chocolate, and if you eat the whole batch your thighs will start to look like cottage cheese...however, they have about 200 fewer calories than their full fat counterpart and will subdue a chocolate craving without completely derailing your diet.
Enough about cottage cheese thighs and calories...on to happy news!
Those of you who have been around for awhile may remember that my sister and I used to blog here together. Annie quit a couple years ago because she is too busy shaping the minds of impressionable youths to take photos of scones. Anyway, two Fridays ago she got engaged! Her fiancé has been a member of our family for a long time, but I'm very excited to officially call him my brother-in-law at some point in the near (no pressure, Annie and Scott!) future.
I got to see her gorgeous new bling in person last weekend, because she came to town for my birthday! It wasn't just any birthday...April 18th was the big 3-0. I spent a long time dreading turning 30, but I'm happy to report that I feel exactly the same as I did when I was 29. It certainly doesn't hurt that I still get carded...when that stops, I'll officially have an issue with aging.

As the town of Bluffton prepares for another annual beach and river sweep it celebrates the reopening of about 21.5 acres to shellfish harvesting three years after the state handed down restrictions over bacteria levels.
This year was the first since the 2010 state-mandated closure of its western headwaters that data from bacteria monitoring stations could be used to rollback restrictions on harvesting, said Kim Jones, Bluffton's water quality manager.
The section open to harvesting with the start of the season Saturday stretches from eastern Gascoigne Bluff to near Linden Plantation Road.
With several miles of river still closed to harvesting, the town stayed measured in its response to the news.
"While the Town is pleased to hear that a portion of the River has been reopened for shellfish harvesting, our work is far from being done," said Mayor Lisa Sulka. "We will continue to implement projects and programs in the May River Action Plan to improve overall conditions in the May River."
Those efforts include wetland restoration to avoid pollutant buildup as runoff approaches the May River and treatment ponds to catch stormwater, amongst other things.
Portions of the river closed because of high fecal coliform concentrations that exceeded FDA standards. Reports pinned the blame on rapid development, and town staff have worked in the years since the closure to identify specific causes, craft new ordinances, treat stormwater runoff and minimize the volume.
To improve the natural process of runoff treatment, the town budgeted $500,000 toward wetland restoration for this fiscal year.
"The ideal wetland restoration project would be located as close as possible to the headwater drainages to the May River," Jones said, adding that obtaining landowner permission is one of a number of hurdles remaining.
Past experience has shown stormwater runoff is relatively free of bacteria concentrations before it reaches the river's wetland ditches, where pollutant loads jump. This runs counter to the notion that wetlands function as a treatment filter, Jones said.
"The intent of the restoration would be to return the man-made, channelized ditch to their former state," she said.
The town continues its efforts to equip developments with stormwater treatment ponds. Town staff are in talks with Hampton Hall and Hampton Lakes, while plans for a $485,000 riverside pond remain in the negotiation phase, though a design contract has been signed.
Jones encouraged participation in the river sweep on Saturday from 9-11:30 a.m. at Oyster Factory Park.
"Anyone can and should participate - individuals, families, schools, youth groups, civic and conservation clubs and businesses," she said.
Those with kayaks are asked to bring them while other participants will focus on trash from parks and roadsides. The S.C. Sea Grant Consortium and the S.C. Department of Natural Resources have put on the event since 1988, tallying debris data with the Ocean Conservancy to pinpoint sources of litter. Last year, more than 2,500 volunteers removed 12.5 tons of debris statewide.

The countrys first drive-through marijuana shop is opening in Colorado
When the for sale sign went up on the Valley Car Wash in Parachute, Colo., Mark Smith didnt waste a second.
The 58-year-old businessman had recently opened a marijuana dispensary across the street, and was struck by the number of people who would come knocking after-hours, according to the Post Independent.
What better way to serve his late-night customers, he thought, than a drive-through window?
It seemed like the perfect fit, Smith told Fox 31. So he bought the car wash and set to work transforming the vehicle bay into a new place to sell his wares.
The project, reportedly hatched one evening while working alone in his shop, could establish Smith in his own small way as an innovator in the burgeoning marijuana industry.
On Wednesday, just in time for the unofficial pot enthusiast holiday 4/20, Smith will open the Tumbleweed Express, believed to be the countrys first legal drive-through marijuana retailer, as local media reported.
National news outlets are expected to cover the grand opening, which will take place from 1 p.m. to midnight and feature food trucks, live music, radio broadcasts and product giveaways.
Smith said he was taken aback by all the attention.
I didnt set out thinking this would be national news, he told the Post Independent. I didnt have some big epiphany. I just saw a need for our customers.
For Smith, 58, becoming a marijuana entrepreneur was something of a career change. He used to work in the pawnshop business, at one point owning 23 stores, he told Fox 31. Eventually, he sold them to the national pawnshop chain EZ Pawn and used the money to start his business in Colorado.
Parachute, home to 1,100 people, had previously banned marijuana establishments after Colorado legalized the drug in 2014. Enticed by the revenue pot sales would generate, the town voted to lift the ban in June 2015, the Daily Sentinel reported.
The original Tumbleweed dispensary opened in February 2016, situated on the east edge of town near a Wendys, a Shell station and a liquor store. In the time since, Smith has opened other shops in the Colorado towns of Edwards, Eagle-Vail and Frisco.
Smith didnt seem to run into many hurdles when he proposed retrofitting the car wash to become a drive-through for weed products, sliding through the approval process without serious resistance.
We think the drive-through is a very creative and innovative idea, Parachute Town Manager Stuart McArthur told the Post Independent in February.
Tumbleweed has been a good neighbor and has made large investments into town, he added later. Were excited to have Tumbleweed here and get on the map with something that is totally unique.
Robert Goulding, spokesman for the states Marijuana Enforcement Division, said the business would be the first of its kind.
As far as I can tell we are not aware of this business model ever coming up before, Goulding told the Post Independent.
The Tumbleweed Express will be open from 4 p.m. to midnight Thursday through Sunday. All the states dispensary rules apply. Under the law, no one younger than 21 is allowed in the drive-through, even if theyre riding in the back seat of the car. Smith must also provide security and surveillance at the business and ensure that no marijuana is visible from outside the property.
Smith told Fox 31 he picked the right spot for his new venture.
The stars were in alignment. A lot of things lined up, he said. We like the town. They are very supportive here.

Gowdy gets into Benghazi
Speaker John Boehner and House Republicans have decided to create a select committee to expand their investigation into the Benghazi attacks.
Beyond that, nothing is settled. In fact, Republicans may be going on something of a mission improbable to yield new information and turn up new clues in a wide-ranging probe that has already spanned 13 hearings, 25,000 pages of documents and 50 briefings.
Story Continued Below
There are questions about what the select committee will set out to do and what it can actually yield. And the man who will head the committee, South Carolina Republican Trey Gowdy, will be following in the footsteps of no less than eight congressional committees in the House and Senate that have investigated the September 2012 attacks on a U.S. mission in Libya.
One thing is for certain: The Gowdy probe will last into the fall — keeping Benghazi in the news for the 2014 midterm elections. And it can serve to tarnish Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's name ahead of a potential 2016 presidential bid, though there's no guarantee it will work. Democrats also claim it will serve as another way to rile up the GOP base as the picture surrounding Obamacare blurs — with enrollment numbers for President Barack Obama's signature legislative achievement crossing the 8 million mark.
( Also on POLITICO: Plouffe: 'Bogus' Benghazi panel unnecessary)
"The speaker has been extraordinarily patient, but it is clear the Obama administration is playing games," said Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), who has played a high-profile role in the Benghazi probe via his seat on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. "The focus of the [Gowdy] committee should simply be to find the truth. It is out there, but the House is going to have to pry it out of the White House. The four investigating committees have done a good job finding parts of the truth. A select committee should bring it all together and find all the truth."
The House leadership will have tighter control over picking the roster for this panel than over any of the disparate committees that have previously probed the attacks on the diplomatic outposts in Libya that killed four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens.
Gowdy's committee will immediately take over top billing on Benghazi from Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), whose Oversight and Government Reform Committee has led the way on this issue since October 2012. The sometimes unpredictable Issa has promised to cooperate with Gowdy's effort, and GOP leaders are hopeful that will happen, although they will keep a close eye on cooperation between all the committees involved in this issue, said GOP sources.
( Also on POLITICO: Graham: Benghazi lies continue)
Boehner will personally name all the Republicans to the select committee, and it is likely to include members from the four standing House panels that have already conducted Benghazi probes — Oversight and Government Reform, Armed Services, Foreign Affairs and Intelligence, according to GOP lawmakers and aides.
Based on precedent, there will most likely be between 10 and 20 members, with Republicans holding a big edge in the ratio of members over Democrats. There is some question about whether Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) will even name members to the panel, which Democrats are already dismissing as a partisan joke designed to try to politically damage Clinton and Obama. A senior Democratic source said the party is already mulling over its choices.
For its part, the Obama administration dismisses the GOP effort to "get to the bottom of Benghazi" as nothing more than a big waste of time and taxpayer money.
Leadership staffers are drafting the resolution to form the Gowdy panel, using as a guideline previous select committees on Chinese spying, global warming and Hurricane Katrina. A draft of the resolution will be circulated inside the GOP leadership by early this week, the sources said.
( Also on POLITICO: Schiff: Benghazi panel a 'waste of time')
"It's not that unusual; they're not that hard to put together," said a Republican staffer close to the issue. "The biggest problem will be some of the classified information that the [select committee] will have to deal with."
A number of Republicans, especially the more hard-line conservative, tea party-inspired junior members, are making their desire to serve on the Gowdy committee known to Boehner and the Ohio Republican's top lieutenants, these sources said. Serving on the panel could be a plum position during an election year in which the issue is popular with the GOP base.
Names being floated for the select committee include Chaffetz and Reps. Raúl Labrador (R-Idaho) and Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), among others.
Logistics are also difficult. The select panel must hire staff with the proper security clearances to handle highly classified material from the CIA and other intelligence agencies and find suitable space and equipment on the House side of Capitol Hill.
The Gowdy committee will also be required to integrate a huge amount of data on the Benghazi attacks already generated by the other committees, especially Oversight, which has spent 18 months on the issue at this point.

Story highlights
- World No.1 Roger Federer wins opening match at Shanghai Masters
- Federer was subject of bizarre online death threat before the event in China
- Novak Djokovic and defending champion Andy Murray also in third round
- Women's No.1 Victoria Azarenka wins opener at WTA event in Linz, Austria
World No. 1 Roger Federer made a confident start in the defense of his ranking with a second round victory over Chinese Taipei's Yen-Hsun Lu in the Shanghai Masters Wednesday.
Federer took one hour 20 minutes for a 6-3 7-5 win and will now face fellow Swiss and doubles partner Stanislas Wawrinka.
Should Federer progress, it will guarantee he would have held the top ranking for 300 weeks in his glittering career.
Defeat, combined with Novak Djokovic taking the title come Sunday, would see the current No.2 on top of the world again.
Federer, who was the subject of a bizarre online death threat ahead of the tournament, was pleased with his performance after returning to competitive action for the first time in nearly a month.
"It's just about getting a sense of how to play the points again, " he told the official ATP Tour website.
"But my last matches were on clay (In a Davis Cup tie).
"You always wonder if you have lost something in the meantime."
Second seed Djokovic was untroubled as he won his opener against Grigor Dimitrov of Bulgaria 6-3 6-2 in just 54 minutes.
He is coming off his title win in Beijing where improvements to his service appeared to pay off.
"That's something that I've been working on, obviously. Relying on the serve in today's tennis is a big advantage. So I try to get as many free points as possible," he said.
Two-time defending champion and World No.3 Andy Murray had a walkover passage to the third round when his opponent Florian Mayer withdrew with a rib injury.
U.S. Open champion Murray will next play Alexandr Dolgopolov of the Ukraine.
Meanwhile on the WTA Tour, No.1 ranked Victoria Azarenka continued her recent impressive form.
The Belarus star won in Beijing at the weekend but the long return journey to Europe appeared not to hinder her as she beat Arantxa Rus of the Netherlands 6-0 6-2 in the first round of the tournament in Linz, Austria.
She is chasing her sixth title of 2012 at the hard court tournament.

If you've been in the market for a cheap, entry-level Chromebook, Acer's C7 Chromebook is the most affordable pick. And according to Engadget, Acer is introducing a 16GB solid-state drive option to the lineup.
The C7 will continue to cost $199, and the new storage hardware presumably won't affect the 100GB of Google Drive storage users also receive. Best Buy says that the laptop is on its way, though there is no official launch date. The device will still feature a dual-core 1.1GHz Intel Celeron 847 processor, 2GB of RAM, and plenty of ports, including VGA, HDMI, a built-in card reader, and three USB 2.0 ports. You can still purchase the 320GB standard hard disk variant of the laptop from Best Buy and other participating retailers for now, though it's unclear if this 16GB version is replacing the original.
We reviewed Acer's C7 Chromebook late last year, and while we appreciated its relatively low price point, we felt it was too thick and heavy compared to other Chromebooks on the market—not to mention that it didn't offer the best battery life and it felt cheap to the touch to boot. Then again, it is $199, which is about $50 cheaper than the Samsung Chromebook. If you're considering buying one, it's really a matter of how much you value those Benjamins.

text: American Ryan Lochte is defending most titles from the 2011 world championships [GETTY]The world's top swimmers will be vying to fill the void left by Michael Phelps as the world championships begin without the decorated American in Barcelona on Sunday. Phelps, who ended his glittering career after last year's London Olympics, will be watching from the stands at the hilltop Palau Sant Jordi, a venue for the 1992 Olympics, as some of his old rivals bid to take his place as the global face of swimming. Americans Ryan Lochte and Nathan Adrian, Australia's James Magnussen, Sun Yang of China, Frenchmen Yannick Agnel and Florent Manaudou and South Africa's Chad le Clos will be the ones to watch as the sport comes to terms with the absence of Phelps who amassed 26 world championship and 18 Olympic golds. Lochte is defending the most titles from the last world championships in Shanghai in 2011, including the 200 metres freestyle, the 200 metres backstroke and the 200 and 400 metres individual medleys. Among the women gunning for gold medals and world records are Americans Missy Franklin and Katie Ledecky, Lithuania's Ruta Meilutyte, Chinese Ye Shiwen, Cate Campbell and Alicia Coutts of Australia and Ranomi Kromowidjojo of the Netherlands. Judging by the form book, the Americans are likely to take the absence of Phelps firmly in their stride and top the medals table for 13th time in 15 editions since the first world championships in Belgrade in 1973. Aquatic super power The former East Germany briefly knocked them off their perch in 1982 and 1986. "The United States has been the globe's aquatic power for eons," according to influential website SwimVortex.com. "Even as the country undergoes a transition period, there is no reason to believe the Red, White and Blue won't remain on top of the world pedestal," they added.South Africa's Le Clos caused a sensation in London when he pipped Phelps to win gold in the 200m butterfly and deny him a third straight title in his favourite event. The 21-year-old suffered an injured shoulder around the turn of the year and has decided to compete only in the three butterfly events in Barcelona. "Michael Phelps was a role model and an inspiration for me when I was growing up so I will miss him a little bit," Le Clos, who has become good friends with his boyhood hero, told a news conference on Wednesday. "He's going to be in the stands watching and hopefully watching me doing well." The world championships also offer a chance for traditional powerhouses Australia to redeem themselves after a woeful performance in London. A damning review said team management had failed to prevent a "toxic culture" from developing in the squad, which produced Australia's worst Olympic results in 20 years. Abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, as well as flouting of curfews and bullying, had gone unchecked and contributed to the underperformance, the review said. The nation's swimmers can put that right in Barcelona and fans will be expecting the likes of Magnussen and Christian Sprenger among the men and Campbell and Coutts on the women's side to step up. China, meanwhile, are cautiously optimistic and head coach Yao Zhengjie has set a target of four golds. China finished second behind the US at the Shanghai championships with five golds, two silvers and seven bronze. SOURCE: Reuters Sport US & Canada Australia China Lithuania

Visiting Abu Dhabi
CSB student reflects on her time at the Women as Global Leaders conference
March 30, 2012
By Rhebekkah Westre '12
Editor's Note:
Six CSB students and administrators were selected to present at the 2012 Women as Global Leaders Conference March 13-15 in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. They were among a group of 14 CSB students and four administrators who attended the conference. The CSB group was the largest contingency from the United States at the conference, which drew 1,000 attendees. The trip was coordinated through the Sister Nancy Hynes Institute for Women's Leadership at CSB.
The goal of the conference was to inspire and connect an emerging generation of women leaders from around the world. The 2012 theme is "Creating a Sustainable Future for the World."
CSB senior Rhebekkah Westre presented on the impacts of solar energy in rural India, based on her study abroad experience in India. Her reflections on the experience are below.
My trip to the United Arab Emirates brought many reflections on my time here at the College of Saint Benedict. I am a current senior and I have a few weeks left before I graduate. I was excited and nervous to go on my first trip to the Middle East especially since I had the chance to present work that I did for school. I had no clue that my undergraduate career would bring me there and I eagerly accepted the challenge of going to this country, just like I accepted the challenge to spend a semester in India. I certainly have the travel bug after my study abroad experience and was ready to use my passport.
The trip included two stops in the United Arab Emirates. Our first was in Dubai. As a group, we had the opportunity to see the city. I also went up in the Burja Khalifa. It was a remarkable thing to do -to go up in the world's tallest tower. It seemed as if you could stare out and see the whole world from there.
We stayed at a university which was eye opening. It was neat to attend a class and see how a university functions there. I found attending an educational institution a great way to learn many things about a country.
Our second stop was Abu Dhabi, where the Women as Global Leaders conference took place. On our sightseeing day, the group toured a mosque. When I arrived, I had to put on an abaya (a robe-like dress, worn by some women in parts of the Islamic world, which was certainly a different feeling. To be covered from head to toe and not have anything showing was a shocking feeling. I'm happy I did it because I feel I now understand the covering better. One thing that surprised me is the way the abaya "uniforms" women and makes you focus on their face instead of their clothing.
The conference was a wonderful experience. I was excited to present the work I did in India. And I enjoyed the encouragement I received. The conference was affirming in many ways. The sessions that I attended widened my understanding of the world. Meeting so many different people helped me realize that really, all of us just want to peacefully coexist with each other. One thing that surprised me was my opportunity to meet actress and environmental activist Sigourney Weaver. It was awesome to hear her speak and the passion she has for the environment.
This trip has given me a sense of direction for after graduation. I haven't yet decided what I want to do with my degree in biology. I am thinking of working in international affairs or leadership. My passion lies within public health or the environment. I want to work with people at the global level to solve these issues because as a world we need to work together. I think I am going to volunteer next year in a different country to deepen my understanding. When I am doing that, I am going to be looking for graduate schools that focus on international issues. This trip solidified those goals for me.

What can MG patients do to help themselves?
I was recently diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis. I have been experiencing muscle weakness and have had double vision and drooping eyelids. I have been working with a neurologist, but I want to make sure I am doing everything I can for my disease. What kinds of questions should I be asking my doctor? What can I do on my own to help myself?
First of all, I want to commend you for being such a motivated and involved patient. Getting the best healthcare is a team — you and your doctor — effort. Here are a few things you should discuss with your neurologist:
1. Safety first. It's important to have a good understanding of what are serious symptoms in myasthenia gravis and how you should deal with them. For example, difficulty breathing may represent a life-threatening change in the disease. Ask your doctor about concerning symptoms and what you should do if you have such symptoms. This means that you should have a rapid way of contacting your neurologist 24/7/365 and also have her/him give you instructions as to when to call "911".
2. Treatment risk/benefits and severity of disease. Understanding the benefits and risks of a treatment plan is the foundation of a collaborative doctor-patient relationship. Often, myasthenia gravis interferes with your ability to work and manage other family obligations. By explaining how the disease prevents you from doing important things in your life and what risks you are willing to take to correct those disabilities, you and your doctor can develop a treatment plan personalized to your lifestyle, goals and disease severity.
3. Exercise. Ask your neurologist how much exercise you should be doing. The amount varies depending on upon how well your myasthenia gravis is controlled and what treatments are being used.
4. Diet. Some treatments that we use in myasthenia gravis (e.g. prednisone) have a strong tendency to cause weight gain and diabetes. Ask your doctor about the best diet. You may wish to make an appointment with a dietitian.
Keep being an involved patient and don't forget to be good to yourself. Get plenty of rest, eat a balanced diet, maintain a positive attitude and remember — you are the most important member of the team.

Botswana, Mississippi? The Magnolia State's HIV Crisis
The third in a series examining the reports of a pediatric "functional cure" and its implications across Black America. In Part 1 we asked whether a Mississippi infant supposedly cured of HIV actually had the virus at all. In Part 2 we considered the mother's lack of prenatal care and the fact that she fell out of HIV care.
"Stunning" reports of an almost 20-month-old Mississippi infant who had been "cured" of HIV dominated news coverage during early March 2013. Most reports lacked context: The mother did not know that she was HIV positive until her delivery, and later she dropped out of care for almost a year.
This often happens "in states like Mississippi and South Carolina, where there has been a historic Black reliance on public health services," says Bambi W. Gaddist, Dr.P.H., founder and executive director of the South Carolina HIV/AIDS Council. "It's very easy for an HIV-positive pregnant woman to be identified much later in the process. And the 'process' has become overburdened and underfunded."
The Worst State to Have HIV?
Connecting people living with HIV/AIDS to medical care and treatment as soon as possible -- known as "treatment as prevention" -- has become a critical strategy in ending the epidemic. Some experts believe that Mississippi's conservative politics, underfunding of HIV/AIDS programs and growing socioeconomic disparities both fuel the epidemic and increase the likelihood that more HIV-positive men and women will drop out of care -- if they receive it at all.
Black America sits at the epicenter of the domestic HIV/AIDS epidemic. Blacks represent only 13 percent of the nation's population but about 44 percent (pdf) of all new HIV infections, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Mississippi boasts the highest percentage of Blacks of any state -- nearly 38 percent -- and Black people make up almost 80 percent of all new infections there.
"So it's very likely the mother and newborn were Black," says Dr. Gaddist.
In 2011 Mississippi had the sixth-highest rate of new HIV cases in the nation. The state ranks with Florida for having "the highest HIV rates among individuals 13 to 19 years old. Jackson [had] the third-highest HIV infection rate of all U.S. metropolitan areas ... in 2009," reports the Mississippi State Department of Health.
"Meanwhile, an abstinence-education statute forbids even programs offering information about condoms to demonstrate how to use them, but does include a requirement to mention the anti-sodomy laws still on the books," salon.com reported in a piece that described Mississippi as "the worst state in America to have HIV."
Veteran HIV/AIDS activist Sean Strub, the founder ofPOZ and the Sero Project, disagrees with that assessment. "Sadly, there is a lot of competition for that title. Anyone getting prosecuted for having HIV might find the state they're living in the 'worst.' For most people with HIV, the 'worst' state for a person with HIV is the one where they live. Holding out Mississippi specifically as so much worse is [also] a way of implying how good it is somewhere else."
Promoting Prejudice
There also is an "overwhelming stigma associated with HIV/AIDS among African Americans in southern USA," reports The Lancet. "Many individuals [forgo] testing not only because of limited access to health services, but because of paralysing stigma."
"From the interviews that I have done with HIV**-**positive women in Mississippi and across the South, many have said that they had to get over the fact that they were HIV positive before they moved into care," says Kimberly A. Parker, Ph.D., assistant professor of health studies at Texas Woman's University. "There are many negative attributes associated with being HIV positive among Black people, especially in the South. Also, in the Black community, we still have so much stigma associated around men who have sex with men."
"I've been called a nigger and a faggot by state legislators right in the Capitol," Alonzo Dukes, executive director of the Greenville-based Southern AIDS Commission, told Human Rights Watch, which released a highly critical indictment of the state's HIV/AIDS policies.
"Mississippi laws and policies contribute to the problem by promoting prejudice and discrimination against those vulnerable and perceived to be vulnerable to HIV," the report says. "In some instances, state public health workers have been found to harass and threaten people testing positive for HIV."
Mississippi Public Broadcasting reports that Mississippi ranks 48th in the nation in public health funding. The state provides few dollars for prevention, housing or prescription-drug programs for PLWHA. HIV/AIDS activists have been fighting massive proposed cuts to the state's paltry HIV/AIDS funding -- slashing almost $10 million from the Mississippi State Department of Health's budget of $29 million.
Activists have opposed the state's policies and funding cuts and have called attention to their plight by occupying the statehouse grounds.
Mississippi Burning
The funding cuts are happening at the same time "nearly two-thirds of people in Mississippi with HIV are without treatment," The Clarion-Ledger reports. The "rate [is] comparable to that in Botswana, Ethiopia, and Rwanda," Human Rights Watch says. Reducing funding for HIV care and treatment would likely exacerbate these conditions.
Republican Gov. Phil Bryant and the Republican-led state Legislature have filed suit to oppose federal health-care reform -- despite widespread poverty and high rates of people without access to health care. In recent months the Republican leadership has also fought Democratic attempts to expand Medicaid and add hundreds of thousands of the working poor to the rolls.
Red tape and unnecessary regulations add to the misery of many PLWHA.
"Mississippi is one of the few, and maybe only, states that requires an in-person appointment to renew your Medicaid," Luke O. Versher, a field organizer for AIDS Action Mississippi, told Housing Works. "Many people don't have the transportation, miss their appointments, and that's how they keep enrollment down."

Inspired by T Rex, the hippy zeitgeist of the 1970s and the fantasy illustration style that went with it, Alan Baker has some amazing stories to tell. Once, he hitchhiked across Europe with just £35 in his pocket and ended up in Afghanistan. He's also known to bury dishwashers and washing machines in his garden. These are true stories, but when it comes to fantasy illustration he has an imagination that's second to none. His awards cabinet is full of honours to prove it.

Final Stats
BRIDGEWATER, MA-Host Bridgewater State won two of the three doubles matches and went on to defeat the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth's women's tennis team, 5-2, in their Little East Conference Tournament semi-final match at the Dr. Henry Rosen Memorial Tennis Courts Saturday. Following conference rules, the match was terminated as soon as the Bears won five matches.
A close win at number three doubles kept UMass Dartmouth in position entering singles play. Freshman Hannah Schulze (Chelmsford, MA/Chelmsford HS) and junior Liz Girczyc (Attleboro, MA/Attleboro HS) came from behind to defeat Rachel Eramo and Melissa Flynn, 9-7. Sophomores Angela Pollard (Portsmouth, RI/Portsmouth HS) and Allison Furtado (Fairhaven, MA/Fairhaven HS) lost to Bridget Murphy and Julie Kraby at number two doubles, 8-2, and sophomore Nicole Pelletier (Swansea, MA/Case HS) and senior Courtney Morey (Mashpee, MA/Mashpee HS) fell to Jenna Williamson and Ashley Pereira at number one doubles, 8-2.
In singles, Flynn defeated Girczyc at number six singles, 6-0-, 6-0; Murphy defeated Morey at number two, 6-2, 6-3; Schulze downed Eramo at number five, 6-1, 6-2; and Williamson defeated Pelletier at number one, 6-2, 6-4. The two unfinished matches were close.
"We came back in third doubles after being down, 5-2, and that kept us alive going into the doubles," said UMass Dartmouth Head Coach Ralph Perry. "The singles were close except for number six. Bridgewater was the better team today and they deserved to win. Our team gave me everything they had this year, it was a great season, and I was very proud of them." The Corsairs dropped to 9-5 with the defeat, while the Bears improved to 12-1 with the victory. Bridgewater State advanced to the LEC finals next Saturday against Salem State. The match was the final action of the season for UMass Dartmouth.

Accommodation and facilities:
Rest in the Bay View Resort, on the island Phi Phi we held from 13 to 20 October 2017. This time is considered not a season. And it happened. Phuket met us with rain. And it lasted intermittently for almost two days. The hotel has a convenient option - a free meeting and seeing off at the pier of Ao Tonsai. Only it is necessary to bear in mind that disembarkation and landing from Longtail on the beach of the hotel is carried out in the water. So it is worthwhile to prepare in advance, disguised on the ship on the way to the island. The hotel itself is located in between the beach and the slopes of the ridge. Therefore, the climb to the rooms is pretty steep and twisting. Rooms we took Superior Villa. After booking, I wrote to the hotel so that the rooms were nearby and we were allocated a house with two rooms. Between the numbers there were doors, so if necessary, you can combine both numbers into one space. Room service is regular and quite good. And, what figures of towels we did, just a feast for the eyes. Number was 510. These are not the farthest houses, but standing on the border with the forest. So the visits of the green monkeys and the monitor were an additional bonus. Well, from the terrace you can see the edge of the sea. But of course the best view of the sea from the rooms on the first rows of villas. Check-in and check-out from the rooms are quite quick and not burdensome. The hotel s beach is small, divided by buoys into the bathing area and the area of the boats. The bottom is sandy, but stones come across, especially noticeable in low tide. During the tide to swim is a pleasure. Along the beach and on the territory of the hotel there is a walkway to Long Beach. Only you need to consider that it also abounds with descents and ascents. In the other direction the road towards the center of the island leaves. Breakfast is quite varied. Dined once upon arrival - liked it. Very delicious Tom Ka Gong.

Fint hotel i gåafstand til byen. Vi boede i bungalow i første række til havet, hvilket var helt fantastisk og smukt med den vildt flotte udsigt. Vælg ikke standart rum, da de ligger meget højt, i et i forevejen meget stejlt terren. Morgenmaden er lækker med brød frugt og forskellige yougurt også mulighed for omelet / spejlæg og andre versioner af æg, Den tilhørende strand er lækker, men vandet er fyldt med sten, så det var svært at bade ved lavvande uden at komme til skade med fødderne. Bemærk at hotellet ikke er forgangbesværede , kørestole eller klapvogne, og at svømmingpoolen ikke er særlig ren - udsigten og området er dogmeget smuk og vejer meget i vurderingen. / familie fra dk 2 børn og 2 voksne

Faulty towers lives on. Staff seemed less than interested. When trying to order in the restaurant ordering was difficult, however when the restaurant was empty one night he was our best friend. The wrong information was given to a young French girl causing her to miss her transfer no empathy at all was given. Rooms were ok with good views but a little far from town. With all the hotels and guest houses on Phi Phi would I stay there again, probably not.

She had some interesting observations about "secular teachings":Vincent wrote:We're joined this week by Dr. Kelly McGonigal, to discuss her work at Stanford University, where she is teaching compassion-based practices from the Buddhist tradition, taught in a way that pulls from scientific research and appeals to a secular sensibility.
Vincent wrote: But there's one conversation and it happened at the Buddhist Geeks Conference where we were talking about this idea of McMindfulness. That is, presenting secular teachings in a way that from a more deep contemplative perspective you'd go "Oh that's sort of shallow. That's not really the whole thing. It's just a little tiny piece of it."
Kelly wrote: ... when I think of the dangers of a McMindfulness movement it's not so much the watering down of the practices, but that even if people are doing what some might think of as watered down practices like sitting down and being with the breath, things are going to come up that require kind of guidance or kind of reflection back.
When I first started teaching some of these so called "watered down practices" under the guise of stress management, what I found I that people are able to turn almost anything against themselves including something as simple as breath focus meditation, something that's supposed to be calming or helpful or relaxing. People will turn it into a way of beating themselves up, a way of trying to control the mind, a competition, an escape from reality. I think the most important thing that we should make sure is not getting lost in the transmission of these things to the masses is that people need a guide for doing these practices or someone to talk to who can offer support.

Hope you all had a lovely weekend and that you've been just as lucky as us with the weather. I think this might be the most sunny weekend we've had in London for ages and I tried my best to soak it up.
Yesterday I strolled around in my hood, late brunch at Le Pain Quotidien and in the late noon I watched the Rise of the Planet of the Apes at cinema, despite what critics may say I loved it, it's incredible well done, so emotional, and at the end of it I found myself perhaps a little too enthusiastic for my surrounding audience.
Having that said I've been a total geeky fan of the original ape movie, Planet of The Apes from 1968, since I was a kid, and I recorded it from TV as a 10 year old. I could watch it again and again, totally hooked, until my baby brothers sadly recorded Thomas the Tank Engine all over my tape, ok, enough of nostalgia.
I wore pants and shoes from Cos, knit and bag by Acne, watch Tagheuer, ring YSL and Ray Ban's.

In a blog post on March 8 I asked my readers for suggestions of people to interview at Rootstech I only got one specific suggestion from Jenny who said "You should interview Audrey Collins - since you know her you will be able to relax and should be able to get a good interview!"
Not wanting to disappoint I emailed my mate Audrey asking for an interview and, as I knew she would, Audrey agreed. We got together on the second day of Rootstech to have our on-air chat. Those Australians who went to Audrey's talks on her 2012 Australian tour will be interested to hear how Audrey became involved in genealogy and landed her "Dream job" at The National Archives in Kew.
I have been uploading my Rootstech videos and scheduling blog posts relating to them to appear every few days so some savvy people have already found the following video on Youtube, viewed it and mentioned it on social media.
Those who haven't yet seen it and those who don't know Audrey you may wish to watch the following clip and meet my mate Audrey.

Local state assembly candidates kept it polite Wednesday night at a reception hosted by the Huntington Beach Chamber of Commerce.
Assemblyman Allan Mansoor and Newport Beach businessman Bob Rush, who are the two candidates running for the newly-redrawn 74th District seat, each spoke briefly to the small gathering of about 25 chamber members at the Hilton Waterfront Beach Resort.
The event, which organizers said was more of a meet-and-greet than a forum, was missing the kind of fiery debate that characterized some of the 74th District candidates' pre-primary meetings. Candidates took their allotted five minutes as opportunities more to introduce themselves than to get into nitty gritty policy.
Mansoor, a conservative Republican, represents the old 68th District. Rush, who described himself as "a radical centrist," is running as a Democrat. The newly redrawn 74th District encompasses parts or all of Costa Mesa, Newport Beach, Irvine, Laguna Woods, Laguna Beach and Huntington Beach.
District 72 candidates Troy Edgar and Travis Allen, both Republicans, also spoke. The 72nd District includes the rest of Huntington Beach and extends northwest.
Mansoor talked first about his background as a Costa Mesa city councilman, then turned to his economic priorities as a state legislator.
"Pensions are a ticking time bomb in our state that really need to be addressed," he said, speaking not from the podium like the other candidates, but off to the side.
He said that there was still much work to be done in terms of pension reform after November, but "whether you send me up there or any of us up there, if you don't have the votes to get true reform done, we're kind of spinning our wheels."
One solution, he said, would be passing Proposition 32 which would help "bring people to Sacramento who truly want to reform our state."
Mansoor closed by saying his "door is always open." He did not directly mention his opponent.
Rush, who spoke for a few minutes longer than the other candidates before event organizers reminded him his time was up, underlined his position as a social progressive and fiscal conservative. He also emphasized his diverse experience in the private sector, which has included stints at Price Waterhouse and Co., and Pacific Life Insurance Co.
"These experiences are unique, and they absolutely are pertinent to the job I would be doing for you upon reaching Sacramento," he said, adding, "I can tell you this with all due respect to my challenger, I am the only one in the 74th race who can draw upon such experiences."
Allen, a political newcomer, also drew upon his business experience and said job creation is a top priority. He added that he signed a "No New Taxes" pledge to express his commitment to that philosophy.
Edgar, who is Mayor of Los Alamitos, said he and Allen share some views, but — like Mansoor — distinguished his candidacy by describing his years of experience, both as a business consultant and a public servant.
As candidates and audience members returned to mingling over finger food and drinks, Chamber CEO Jerry Wheeler said the group plans to hold similar events in the future to get Huntington Beach businesses more involved in regional politics. The chamber has about 750 members, he said.
Asked if any candidate in particular stood out to him, Wheeler laughed.
"We're just excited we're going to have two people representing Huntington Beach in Sacramento," he said.

You will find attached to this email a variety of resources for you to look over and prepare for, prior to the class. I highly suggest not only reviewing the provided materials but also bring them with you to class for note taking and such. We are currently in the process of updating the course materials so some of this material will be amended with new course material. We will provide new class notes during/after this weekends class.
Finally, please note that we will be meeting each morning at the Get Your Gear On paid lot for class at 8A. Class will be conducted on the opposite side of the river and will promptly start under the pavilion each morning at 9A. Please have everything you will need with you for the day on that side of the river. It's a good idea to have used the restroom facilities before class as there are only "facilitrees" on river right.
You can contact Aimee at email@example.com for any extra info, please join us for an amazing opportunity to train with international professionals LOCAL! If you decide to join Aimee can provide the extra emails to review before the class.

Injuries may include, but are not limited to: bumps and bruises, scrapes, broken bones, heatstroke/hypothermia and more serious injuries including death.
Throughout the class, participants will be responsible for their own safety. Participants will NOT be forced to participate in any activity they feel is not safe for them. Challenge by Choice means that any participant can elect to forgo any part of this class without penalty. We design this course to mitigate as much of the danger as possible while still providing as realistic of a scenario as possible.
You should bring a packed lunch with you each day as we will break to re-energize mid-day each day. Be prepared to eat well and bring plenty of snacks and water for the course. This is a high energy, intensive and demanding clinic. Plan accordingly with your meals!

My Nokia Blog is reporting on specifications the next Nokia flagship Windows Phone (possibly the RM-877) will feature. Mentioning sources familiar with company plans, it's believed that the device will indeed have a superior camera to what's currently available on the platform. That we can be sure of as Nokia is pushing optics even further, but what about the other entries on the specifications sheet? According to the source, Nokia is working on two different models of the EOS, which we've previously looked at numerous times.
One model is a dual-core version, while another features 4-cores, brining Windows Phone up to speed with Android (are we seriously considering 8-cores?) with Snapdragon 800 implemented. The next flagship Windows Phone from Nokia is also said to be packing the same battery as the Lumia 920 - 2000mAh. This is the reason for the two models as the impact on the battery with the four cores may be significant.
The screen is said to be AMOLED (1280 x 768), following the Lumia 928 and will better support the low-powered sleeping screen display. The camera is believed to be similar to the Lumia 920, but sports a 41MP sensor, Xenon & LED flash, OIS (optical image stabilisation) and the possibility of a variable aperture lens. This would be joined by "a more detailed" camera UI, similar to that on the PureView 808.
What's really going to excite consumers is the expandable internal storage with MicroSd support. This will be required with what the advanced camera would produce. Interestingly, albeit not the first time we've seen present on a Windows Phone, a Micro HDMI-out will be available. Finally, an FM transmitter is believed to be included. The flagship Windows Phone is said to be an AT&T exclusive when released, with a global launch up to three months later. It's quite the phone, should everything remain in place.
Some of this information corroborates details Windows Phone Central has managed to obtain as well, so we can add a little less salt with this, folks. So what are your thoughts, excited?
Source: My Nokia Blog; thanks, Prodigy11, for the heads up!
