Brother BobPosted by WebAdmin under People Who Know Bob
No Comments
I am writing to give me heartfelt gratitude to brother Bob for blessing me yesterday with a bus pass at Deep Elum train station. God used Mr. Bob to remind me that He is faithful to his word; On saturday, a friend gave me $20 for a weekly buss pass. I decided to give God a tithe 10% and an offering of $5. After doing so, I begun to second guess myself, may I shouldn't have. How am I going to get a much needed weekly train pass? God reminded me what He said in Malachi 3:10 bring the whole tithe and offering in to my storehouse, that they may be food in my house.Test me in this," says the LORD Almighty "and see if I will not throw open the floodgate of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it." I struggle a little bit with trusting him to do what he promised in this Scripture and finally, I said Lord, I will trust you. God reminded me that though I did not have enough money to buy a weekly pass, I had enough for the day. I bought a one way train ticket and headed down town Dallas. On my way back home, I met Mr. Bod at Deep Elum. I had made my ticket selection and just about to pay for it when I heard someone say, " I hope you have paid for it." I turned around there was this man dressed in suit talking about a ticket I could use. I was so thankful because the previous day, I asked God to provide a ticket for me. Mr. Bod not only blessed me with a bus pass, he also played my favorite hymns- when the trumpet of the Lord shall sound and Trust and Obey. God kept his word and opened the heavens to bless me in a way I could not contain it. I've told everyone about Mr. Bob, an angel sent by God to meet my need as well as remind me that God cannot lie, He keeps his word. Praise God. Thanks Bob, my God-sent angel.

Native App Accessibility (iOS and Android)
Both iOS and Android provide APIs for making apps accessible to people with disabilities. In addition, both platforms provide bundled assistive technologies, like the screen readers VoiceOver (iOS) and TalkBack (Android) for the visually impaired. Similarly, in React Native we have included APIs designed to provide developers with support for making apps more accessible. Take note, iOS and Android differ slightly in their approaches, and thus the React Native implementations may vary by platform.
In addition to this documentation, you might find this blog post about React Native accessibility to be useful.
Making Apps Accessible
Accessibility properties
accessible (iOS, Android)
true, indicates that the view is an accessibility element. When a view is an accessibility element, it groups its children into a single selectable component. By default, all touchable elements are accessible.
On Android,
accessible={true} property for a react-native View will be translated into native
<View accessible={true}>
<Text>text one</Text>
<Text>text two</Text>
In the above example, we can't get accessibility focus separately on 'text one' and 'text two'. Instead we get focus on a parent view with 'accessible' property.
accessibilityLabel (iOS, Android)
When a view is marked as accessible, it is a good practice to set an accessibilityLabel on the view, so that people who use VoiceOver know what element they have selected. VoiceOver will read this string when a user selects the associated element.
To use, set the
accessibilityLabel property to a custom string on your View:
accessibilityLabel={'Tap me!'}
<View style={styles.button}>
<Text style={styles.buttonText}>Press me!</Text>
In the above example, the
accessibilityLabel on the TouchableOpacity element would default to "Press me!". The label is constructed by concatenating all Text node children separated by spaces.
accessibilityTraits (iOS)
Accessibility traits tell a person using VoiceOver what kind of element they have selected. Is this element a label? A button? A header? These questions are answered by
To use, set the
accessibilityTraits property to one of (or an array of) accessibility trait strings:
- none Used when the element has no traits.
- button Used when the element should be treated as a button.
- link Used when the element should be treated as a link.
- header Used when an element acts as a header for a content section (e.g. the title of a navigation bar).
- search Used when the text field element should also be treated as a search field.
- image Used when the element should be treated as an image. Can be combined with button or link, for example.
- selected Used when the element is selected. For example, a selected row in a table or a selected button within a segmented control.
- plays Used when the element plays its own sound when activated.
- key Used when the element acts as a keyboard key.
- text Used when the element should be treated as static text that cannot change.
- summary Used when an element can be used to provide a quick summary of current conditions in the app when the app first launches. For example, when Weather first launches, the element with today's weather conditions is marked with this trait.
- disabled Used when the control is not enabled and does not respond to user input.
- frequentUpdates Used when the element frequently updates its label or value, but too often to send notifications. Allows an accessibility client to poll for changes. A stopwatch would be an example.
- startsMedia Used when activating an element starts a media session (e.g. playing a movie, recording audio) that should not be interrupted by output from an assistive technology, like VoiceOver.
- adjustable Used when an element can be "adjusted" (e.g. a slider).
- allowsDirectInteraction Used when an element allows direct touch interaction for VoiceOver users (for example, a view representing a piano keyboard).
- pageTurn Informs VoiceOver that it should scroll to the next page when it finishes reading the contents of the element.
accessibilityViewIsModal (iOS)
A Boolean value indicating whether VoiceOver should ignore the elements within views that are siblings of the receiver.
For example, in a window that contains sibling views
A and
B, setting
accessibilityViewIsModal to
true on view
B causes VoiceOver to ignore the elements in the view
A. On the other hand, if view
B contains a child view
C and you set
accessibilityViewIsModal to
true on view
C, VoiceOver does not ignore the elements in view
accessibilityElementsHidden (iOS)
A Boolean value indicating whether the accessibility elements contained within this accessibility element are hidden.
For example, in a window that contains sibling views
A and
B, setting
accessibilityElementsHidden to
true on view
B causes VoiceOver to ignore the elements in the view
B. This is similar to the Android property
onAccessibilityTap (iOS)
Use this property to assign a custom function to be called when someone activates an accessible element by double tapping on it while it's selected.
onMagicTap (iOS)
Assign this property to a custom function which will be called when someone performs the "magic tap" gesture, which is a double-tap with two fingers. A magic tap function should perform the most relevant action a user could take on a component. In the Phone app on iPhone, a magic tap answers a phone call, or ends the current one. If the selected element does not have an
onMagicTap function, the system will traverse up the view hierarchy until it finds a view that does.
accessibilityComponentType (Android)
In some cases, we also want to alert the end user of the type of selected component (i.e., that it is a "button"). If we were using native buttons, this would work automatically. Since we are using javascript, we need to provide a bit more context for TalkBack. To do so, you must specify the 'accessibilityComponentType' property for any UI component. We support 'none', 'button', 'radiobutton_checked' and 'radiobutton_unchecked'.
<TouchableWithoutFeedback accessibilityComponentType="button"
<View style={styles.button}>
<Text style={styles.buttonText}>Press me!</Text>
In the above example, the TouchableWithoutFeedback is being announced by TalkBack as a native Button.
accessibilityLiveRegion (Android)
When components dynamically change, we want TalkBack to alert the end user. This is made possible by the 'accessibilityLiveRegion' property. It can be set to 'none', 'polite' and 'assertive':
- none Accessibility services should not announce changes to this view.
- polite Accessibility services should announce changes to this view.
- assertive Accessibility services should interrupt ongoing speech to immediately announce changes to this view.
<TouchableWithoutFeedback onPress={this._addOne}>
<View style={styles.embedded}>
<Text>Click me</Text>
<Text accessibilityLiveRegion="polite">
Clicked {this.state.count} times
In the above example method _addOne changes the state.count variable. As soon as an end user clicks the TouchableWithoutFeedback, TalkBack reads text in the Text view because of its 'accessibilityLiveRegion="polite"' property.
importantForAccessibility (Android)
In the case of two overlapping UI components with the same parent, default accessibility focus can have unpredictable behavior. The 'importantForAccessibility' property will resolve this by controlling if a view fires accessibility events and if it is reported to accessibility services. It can be set to 'auto', 'yes', 'no' and 'no-hide-descendants' (the last value will force accessibility services to ignore the component and all of its children).
<View style={styles.container}>
<View style={{position: 'absolute', left: 10, top: 10, right: 10, height: 100,
backgroundColor: 'green'}} importantForAccessibility="yes">
<Text> First layout </Text>
<View style={{position: 'absolute', left: 10, top: 10, right: 10, height: 100,
backgroundColor: 'yellow'}} importantForAccessibility="no-hide-descendants">
<Text> Second layout </Text>
In the above example, the yellow layout and its descendants are completely invisible to TalkBack and all other accessibility services. So we can easily use overlapping views with the same parent without confusing TalkBack.
Checking if a Screen Reader is Enabled
AccessibilityInfo API allows you to determine whether or not a screen reader is currently active. See the AccessibilityInfo documentation for details.
Sending Accessibility Events (Android)
Sometimes it is useful to trigger an accessibility event on a UI component (i.e. when a custom view appears on a screen or a custom radio button has been selected). Native UIManager module exposes a method 'sendAccessibilityEvent' for this purpose. It takes two arguments: view tag and a type of an event.
import { UIManager, findNodeHandle } from 'react-native';
_onPress: function() {
const radioButton = this.state.radioButton === 'radiobutton_checked' ?
'radiobutton_unchecked' : 'radiobutton_checked'
radioButton: radioButton
if (radioButton === 'radiobutton_checked') {
In the above example we've created a custom radio button that now behaves like a native one. More specifically, TalkBack now correctly announces changes to the radio button selection.
Testing VoiceOver Support (iOS)
To enable VoiceOver, go to the Settings app on your iOS device. Tap General, then Accessibility. There you will find many tools that people use to make their devices more usable, such as bolder text, increased contrast, and VoiceOver.
To enable VoiceOver, tap on VoiceOver under "Vision" and toggle the switch that appears at the top.
At the very bottom of the Accessibility settings, there is an "Accessibility Shortcut". You can use this to toggle VoiceOver by triple clicking the Home button.

Gluten-free Christmas Persimmon Pudding Recipe
I seem to recall some days ago promising you all a Christmas pudding. I ended up writing an entirely different post about the loss of my cat Neko and I was amazed at the response I got from all of my wonderful, compassionate readers. I had been self-conscious about posting something so very painfully personal, but I realized after writing it that my experience was not exactly personal- it is one shared by anyone who has shared their lives with a pet and lost them. Thank you to all of you who responded with kind words and shared your own experiences with your beloved pets. Each and every comment was very precious and brought me a great deal of comfort. And now, my dear readers, I would like to give you something for this holiday season. Here is that pudding recipe that I was supposed to post. I think it is worth the wait, and also the perfect entry for the most recent Family Traditions themed edition of Go Ahead Honey it is Gluten-free, hosted by Carol of Simply Gluten-free.
This monthly themed food-blogger event was started by Naomi of Straight Into Bed Cakefree & Dried, and celebrates glorious gluten-free food.
Looking for info on future editions? Here is the list of past and present hosts of Go Ahead, Honey.
I mentioned in this post on Amaranth Sorghum Persimmon Muffins that we had a persimmon tree in our back yard. They are delightful for snacking on, but one can only eat so many, and the idea of using them in baking appealed to me. I scoured the internet looking for creative ideas and came across a very interesting recipe for a (gluten) persimmon pudding. I adapted it to be gluten-free and suit our tastes for a Thanksgiving dessert and found it delightful. I'm very in favor of any dessert you can light on fire. It is so festive, and satisfies any latent tendencies for pyromania in a socially acceptable way. This would be lovely for a Christmas dinner, in my opinion. I stored it in the refrigerator so it would keep as long as possible. To refresh it after a day or so in the refrigerator, just microwave a single serving briefly. It is very, very tasty with vanilla ice cream. No dairy? No problem. Soy, rice, or coconut milk offers some beautifully decadent and dairy-free ice cream options.
Do you know how hard it is to get a good photo of a flaming pudding at night? My father-in-law took the above of mother-in-law/grandma holding Baby Yum. I thought it was rather sweet. Here are a few other of my attempts, albeit with a rather unfortunate lack of white balancing. *Sigh*
Here is the DH with creme brulee torch in hand, watching the pudding burn. You should see him tending fire pits… I think we all have an inner pyromaniac, but his is a little closer to the surface than most. If you look closely, you can see a little grey kitty snuggled up on the arm of the couch in the background. It was one of his favorite places to be.

*I know I am late posting the roundup for Adopt-a-gluten-free Blogger. My apologies, all. I will get it up as soon as I can. Adopt-a-gluten-free-Blogger will take a brief holiday hiatus and be open again for new sign-ups in January.
Gluten-free Dairy-free Persimmon Pudding
1 cup sugar (3/4 cup should work too if you prefer)
1/2 cup margarine (I used Earth Balance)at room temperature
1/2 cup sorghum flour
1/4 cup potato or corn starch (or more sorghum flour)
1/4 cup tapioca starch or arrowroot starch
1/4 tsp. salt
3/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. allspice
1/4 tsp. cloves
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1 cup pureed persimmon pulp
2 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. warm water
7 tablespoons brandy (should be naturally gluten-free, but check with manufacturer)
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup raisins
Grease a 5 or 6 cup oven-safe pudding mold that will fit in a large pot with a rack or steaming insert. (You can use Earth balance margarine, palm shortening, or butter if not dairy-free.)
Thoroughly combine sugar and margarine in a large bowl, using a spoon or mixer if you prefer. Sift dry ingredients (flours, and spices-NOT including the baking soda) together and add to the butter. Fold in your persimmon pulp. Drop your baking soda into the warm water and lightly whisk. Add baking soda solution, 3 tablespoons brandy and vanilla to your batter. Add eggs and gently combine. Sprinkle in your raisins, stir, and pour into your buttered mold.
Here is the cool part. Cover the mold (I used aluminum foil) and put on your rack or steamer insert in your large pot. Fill with boiling water halfway up the side of the mold. Put lid on your large pot and simmer 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Let stand a few minutes before you unmold it.
When you serve it, pour 4 tablespoons warmed brandy on the pudding and light it on fire. Should have a gorgeous little blue flame for a bit. If you warm the brandy and let it sit too long before pouring, the alcohol might evaporate and not want to light. In this case, just add a little more brandy and try to relight until *poof* you have a flaming pudding on your table! (Yes, this happened to me)

This summer, U.S. archer Khatuna Lorig hopes to return to the Olympic Games. But she's already helped put archery into The Hunger Games this spring — by training the film's star, Jennifer Lawrence, to shoot.
In the kill-or-be-killed competition in the film drawn from Suzanne Collins' book, Lawrence's character, Katniss Everdeen, relies on her ability with a bow. And Lorig worked with the actress to ensure she had proper form.
"[Lawrence is] the best ambassador we have, a sort of Kevin Costner," Lorig tells reporter Alex Schmidt, for a story airing on Tuesday's Morning Edition.
"I think she's the one who's gonna make archery more visible. That's what's happening — and I'm very happy," she says.
It seems Lorig will have reasons to stay happy this summer. In addition to The Hunger Games, archery is featured in the upcoming Marvel film The Avengers (May 4) and the animated Brave (June 22), by Disney Pixar.
Lorig reportedly worked with Lawrence for about 10 hours. And she gives the actress high marks. On the Easton Foundations sports website, Lorig says that "after a few lessons, Jennifer was shooting about 100 arrows a day with an Olympic-style recurve. Her technique was great."
As for perhaps the most impressive shot in the film — in which Lawrence's character shoots an apple out of a roasted pig's mouth at a banquet — Lorig says the shot is one she and other highly trained archers could make.
"Yes, we can shoot the apple," Lorig told Wendy Bounds on the WSJ Digital Network. "We can shoot very small objects, no problem — from probably 80 yards, or even more."
Asked whether Lawrence is good enough to make that kind of shot without the aid of special effects, Lorig says, "She would need more practice, of course. Yes, why not? She could be."
These days, Lorig is focused on her own goal: earning a trip to London for the Summer Games. She competed in her first Olympics nearly 20 years ago, in Barcelona. Back then, she was on the Unified Soviet Team. She went on to represent her native Georgia and then the United States, where she moved in 1996 — first to New Jersey, and then to California.
Now Lorig wants another chance to represent the U.S. — she's the top-ranked American female archer. But she might not learn if she has qualified for a spot on the team until June, Schmidt reports.
Lorig also wants more people to give archery a try. She's been a fan of the sport for 26 years.
"Once you start shooting, you're gonna like it," Lorig tells Schmidt. "Come on, how can you not like archery? You have to be physically strong, and you have to be mentally strong. So what else do you need in your life?"
You can watch Lorig shoot online, during a practice session at the 2008 Beijing Games.
The top-ranked female archer in the United States is a woman by the name of Khatuna Lorig. These days, she's training almost full-time for the Olympics in London, and she's done some coaching as well. Among the athletes she worked with, the star of "The Hunger Games," Jennifer Lawrence, for the movies archery scenes.
Alex Schmidt went to watch Lorig's Olympic preparations in the Southern California city of Chula Vista.
ALEX SCHMIDT, BYLINE: When she shoots, Khatuna Lorig is a fierce mixture of relaxation and tension. She stands straight up in sunglasses and a hat pulled low over her eyes. Then, she lifts a huge bow, pulling back the string to a tension of 44 pounds. She's alone up here â can't count on any teammates for help - and she likes it that way.
KHATUNA LORIG: It's an individual sport. You shot, you ten, you gold and nobody can change. No judge can change that.
SCHMIDT: She shoots her quiver at a target so far away I can hardly see the arrows.
SCHMIDT: Amazingly though, she calls the shots: four gold in the center of the target at one o'clock; one red, the next layer out, at five o'clock. We walk over to the target. She was exactly right.
How did you know when we were standing back there?
LORIG: I kind of feel how I released. Shooting 26 years, I'm very much kind of knows - I know my 10 fingers.
SCHMIDT: It's been a long road to get to where she is now. Thirty-six-year-old Lorig was born in the Republic of Georgia and discovered archery at school, in the 6th grade. Times were tough when the USSR split up. Lorig would practice shooting in a basement by candlelight. In '96, she moved to the U.S. but missed the 2004 games because she still wasn't a citizen.
LORIG: Mentally I was very, very stressed at that time. I knew I could make the Olympics and because no paperwork to try for the U.S., kind of killed my dream for another four years.
SCHMIDT: Archery has struggled, too, with a lack of glittery star power. But things are picking up. Exhibit A: "The Hunger Games," with a female archer as the hero.
SCHMIDT: Lorig herself trained actress Jennifer Lawrence for her role in the film.
LORIG: She's the best ambassador we have, sort of Kevin Costner.
LORIG: But she's the one. I think she's the one who's going to make archery more visible, which that's what's happening and I'm very happy.
SCHMIDT: Thanks in part to big cultural spotlights - Pixar's also releasing a film called "Brave," about a female archer â there's more teen interest in archery. Lorig says, no way it'll be a passing fad.
LORIG: Once you start shooting, you're going to like it. Come on, how can you not like archery? You have to be physically strong and you have to be mentally strong. And so, what else you need in your life?
LORIG: Good shot?
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: Yeah.
SCHMIDT: Lorig is training for the Olympics nearly full-time these days. But for all her hard work, there's one big hurdle left: She might not know if she qualifies for London until June.
LORIG: I'm nervous. I'm excited, can't wait. But I do have other things to worry about. I got a husband. I got kids, I got to coach people. I got to keep going shooting. I have to still live, right?
SCHMIDT: And that, right there, may be the trademark of a really good archer: relaxation and tension in the very same moment.

March 17, 2011
Nelson Vergel, B.S.Ch.E., M.B.A., is a leading HIV treatment advocate, author and founder of the Body Positive Wellness Center in Houston, Texas.
We live in parallel worlds rife with contradictions. As we fear more and more budget cuts; AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) problems; slow, or lack of, global access to HIV medications; and other concerns that keep popping up when attempting to control this epidemic, there are rays of hope that emerge, and motivate many of us working in treatment and research advocacy to keep moving forward.
After attending the 18th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI 2011) in Boston, Mass., and following different areas of research, I decided to write down a list of advancements that really thrill and energize me as an educator and research advocate. Keep in mind that this is a very limited list that excludes many advances in pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), microbicide gels and HIV treatment-related research areas.
I remember a few years ago when Marty Delaney -- one of the U.S.'s best-known treatment activists, who died two years ago -- would raise his hand in meetings and ask: "What about spending funds on searching for a cure?" People would turn and look at him as if he was crazy or just plain dreaming. Marty believed that we need to spend more funds on strengthening the immune system instead of finding more and more drugs to take. I wish he was alive today. He would have sat through the different presentations about gene therapies and other approaches during this last CROI, amazed and amused that his wishes were coming true. A shift in perception toward the belief that a cure is possible is the first step to take, and I think we are there now. As an HIV-infected man who has lived with multidrug resistance for most of my 25 years of infection, I have been looking forward to the day that renewed hope for a cure would arrive. Even if it takes years, the word "cure" is no longer a four-letter word in meetings.
Almost four years ago, a young doctor in Berlin decided to think outside the box, which resulted in the first report of a cured HIV-infected patient. The patient, who had leukemia, got a donation of stem cells from a person with the delta32 mutation that confers resistance to HIV. Although this cure may not be accessible to most due to costs and risks, we are now starting to get a glimpse of how this case can be replicated in a more practical way with the use of zinc finger nucleases that can manipulate a gene to force CD4 cells to have this delta32 mutation. Studies in HIV treatment-naive and treatment-experienced patients with or without leukemia are underway, with some exciting pilot data.
Other researchers are devoting their energies to finding safe compounds that can help flush latent HIV out of dormant cells. This flushing could be used in conjunction with other approaches to achieve a functional cure.
The challenge now is to find ways to encourage collaboration between research groups; and to advocate for funding for new immune-based approaches while supporting researchers who are thinking outside the box. As the AIDS Policy Project has reported, only 3% of U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding goes toward researching HIV cure approaches. There is a lot of work ahead of us.
If all the relevant studies go forward without yielding any surprisingly negative data, we may have three once-daily single pill combos approved during the next three years. The Quad pill and a combo of rilpivirine (TMC278) plus tenofovir/emtricitabine (Truvada) will probably be the next two options approved. (The Quad pill is a combination of tenofovir/emtricitabine plus two as-yet unapproved drugs [elvitegravir, an integrase inhibitor, and cobicistat, a novel booster drug] from Gilead Sciences, Inc. Rilpivirine is an experimental non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor [NNRTI] from Tibotec Therapeutics.) A year or two after that, the combo pill 572-Trii will probably be approved. (572-Trii consists of GlaxoSmithKline's experimental integrase inhibitor dolutegravir [also known as S/GSK1349572 or just "572"] plus abacavir/lamivudine [Epzicom, Kivexa].) Hopefully, these new one-pill combos will cause fewer lipid and central nervous system side effects than efavirenz/tenofovir/emtricitabine (Atripla) and will motivate companies to do a better job at pricing reasonably and providing faster access globally to people who need treatment. I hope I am not dreaming in this expectation.
Despite the impressive effectiveness of these drugs in clinical trials, a subset of patients has exhibited virologic failure with many commercially available drugs. Most failures likely occurred because of the inability to construct a regimen that contained two to three fully effective agents. Adverse events, drug-drug interactions and non-adherence also likely contributed to the inability of these drugs to result in durable viral suppression. As a consequence of these factors, the failure rates in recent phase 2/3 studies such as DUET (etravirine [TMC125, Intelence] and darunavir [TMC114, Prezista]), MOTIVATE (maraviroc [Selzentry, Celsentri]), and BENCHMRK (raltegravir [Isentress]) were in the 27%-40% range. It is assumed that many of the patients who failed these recent studies were subsequently unable to construct a suppressive regimen, although the long-term outcomes of those failing these clinical trials are unknown.
The prevalence of multi-regimen failure in clinical practice is also unknown. In a survey I conducted a year ago, 90 doctors reported having over 250 of these patients. Many have advanced disease (CD4 < 100) and hence may not be able to "wait" for the development and approval of multiple new options.
Given that patients who are unable to construct a background regimen often fail therapy, the U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other interested groups have advocated that future clinical trials only enroll patients who have one or more active drug for their HIV in their background regimen. Although this is an ethically sound recommendation, one unfortunate consequence is that those patients who have now progressed to multi-regimen "deep" salvage are not able to access experimental drugs via clinical trials.
The possibility of constructing a three-active-agent regimen for this population during the next four years is low, which will diminish the chances for survival in those with lower CD4+ cell counts. Consequently, an early expanded access program that makes available current investigational agents that have progressed beyond phase 2 could provide improved chances of survival for these patients in need. A pilot of this multidrug expanded access program is now being set up to provide access to two new drugs that can help people with multidrug resistance: ibalizumab (a CD4 monoclonal antibody made by TaiMed Biologics; formerly known as TNX-355) and dolutegravir (this second generation integrase inhibitor may help some patients with raltegravir resistance). I will elaborate on this program in future writings.
Although not mentioned in any conference reports yet, there are more and more HIV drugs being developed with long half-lives in the body. Progenics has a once-a-week injectable entry inhibitor; Tibotec may improve the pharmacokinetics of its rilpivirine with nanotechnology to enable the drug to stay active longer; ibalizumab may be effective in once-every-two-week or once-a-month dosing (we're still waiting for data on this); and two more companies may have integrase or entry inhibitors that have a long permanence in the body. The term "nPO" is being bounced around for non-oral, non-daily regimens that may be injected every few weeks. How long it will take to see this approach tested in humans is still unknown, but this is no longer fiction!

Does Studying Haunt You ?
20a .21:12e We 2se-Be a laicidat,Qa Sleep
Studying for examinations, es-pecially
finals, is a task which
haunts most students at all hours
and at all times. It is a process
for which every individual has
evolved his own system, some of
the peculiarities of which will be
dealt with in the next few para-graphs.
Everyone has seen those who ap-parently
never study, or at least
never strain themselves in so do-ing.
These individuals oftener
than not claim B plus averages
and apparently belong to that es-pecially
gifted class of people who
can absorb enough in lecture and
cursory investigation of textbook
material to be able to pass just
about any tests that might come
their way. Their method of study
is quite obvious. Most of the time
they don't.
But the great majority, sad to
say, find that unless they spend
a lot of time with their books and
notes, they can just as well re-sign
themselves to the inevitable
and find something easier to do.
To them, a last minute session of
study before a test is necessary
in order to straighten out in their
minds the various fact to be re-quired
of them. A name for them
is hard to think of. Realists is
probably the best.
A few, a very few luckily, fall
into a third classification which
could be called the fatalists. They
usually coast placidily along from
quiz to quiz, and when finals or
mid-quarters roll around, they sud-denly
make a great resolve to
"hit the books." They do a lot of
talking about this, and finally
when it is a few days or even
hours before the big event, they
suddenly decide that it isn't any
use studying after all. They in-sist
from this point on that they
just can't study these days, or
that they never could make heads
or tails out of what went on in
class. It becomes a kind of sooth-ing
of their own consciences.
Needless to mention, the number
of people getting through school
with that type of a philosophy is
very small.
Technically there should be a
moral to all this, but moralizing is
a dangerous pastime in which to
indulge. The geniuses can take
care of themselves, so obviously
most of us should find out which
of the latter two classifications we
belong. Fatalist or Realist?
By Rosenquist
Harry Truman and Secretary of
State Marshall made sure they
wouldn't be in the air at the same
time when Harry was flying to
Waco, Texas and Marshall was fly-ing
to Moscow last week. Marshall
didn't take to the air until Truman
had landed in Texas. It all had
to do with an agreement made dur-ing
the war that would prevent an
air mishap from happening to both
of them and presenting a problem
for Congress I'egarding sucession.
However, Marshall is safely in
Moscow prepared for the momen-tous
Moscow conference.
Here are some of the problems
the Secretary faces. Britain's
note of March 31 states that she
is unable to maintain control of
Greece and Turkey, which lowers
Britain's prestige throughout the
world. It has thrown the responsi-bility
upon our shoulders and if we
do not accept Britain's position,
the Russians will move into
Greece, automatically flanking
Turkey and the Dardanelles. This
burden would mean another esti-mated
300 million dollars added to
our 1 billion already slated for
world policing and relief.
A major issue at the Moscow
conference will be to determine
whether Germany will be allowed
to regain economical strength
through unification of the four oc-

Bethel Loses
In Quarter Final
One of only three previously un-defeated
teams in the annual
Northwest debate tournament, Be-thel
was knocked out of the quart-er
finals at St. Thomas last Wed-nesday.
Augustana won the round
by a split decision.
Harold Christenson and Lee
Kingsley, only junior college re-presentatives
among 240 speakers
from 63 colleges and universities,
defeated Loyola U., Dakota Wes-leyan
U., No. Michigan State Col-lege,
Milwaukee State Teachers'
College, Illinois Normal, Augsburg,
St. John's U. and Mankato State
Teachers College to enter the quar-ter
finals with seven other teams,
five of which had each been de-feated
Pre-contest predictions slated
Loyola and Notre Dame as likely
winners in this tournament, ex-ceeded
in scope only by the nat-ional
contest. Augustana emerged
as final victor.
Bethel was given an eleventh-hour
invitation to the tournament
in order to round out the sched-ule,
on the basis of its record in
the Eau Claire contest where the
same team defeated Wisconsin U.
At Eau Claire also Bethel was
the only junior college entered.
"Too bad my coaching takes
`till the second generation to bear
fruit," commented the Wheaton
coach who trained Miss Berthel.
His squad did not survive the eight
elimination rounds.
This is Miss Berthel's second
year of teaching and the first year
her pupils have engaged in inter
collegiate contests.

Hell on Earth;
Do You Care?
Let us take a trip into Hell. We
will not have to go far. We can
begin in our nearest veterans' hos-pital,
where hundreds of men lie
in constant pain — without arms,
legs, sight, hearing, or faces. We
could visit scores of these hospi-tals
and each would remind us of
but one word — Hell. We could
visit many fatherless and sonless
homes, where families still grieve
bitterly for lost ones.
Let us go even nearer Hell; into
the blood-soaked lands of Asia and
Europe where the screams of tor-tured
women and children still
echo in the barren valleys. We see
millions of bony, naked children—
lower than animals—scraping for
food in the freezing dirt while they
slowly and painfully moan their
way into eternity. We see them—
hornless and friendless — sleeping
in the icy streets on winter nights.
We see the rivers bobbing with
their bodies. The eyes and hands
of the living are stretched out try-ing
to make us understand that if
we neglect or forget them we our-selves
are unworthy to be called
decent humans, much less follow-ers
of Christ.
Because of the spiritual neglect
and selfishness of the church,
countless millions of the worlds
people — for whom Christ died —
exist in an earthly Hell that is al-leviated
only by death.
Where is Hell? We many not
agree on its eternal location, but
we see it here and now wherever
Christian people refuse to heed the
passioned plea of a loving Savior,
"Go ye into all the world and
preach the Gospel to every crea-ture."
Other things He may over-look,
but what excuse will ever
suffice if we fail in this?
Some twenty new students have
enrolled for the quarter and have
already found their places in
school life.
GI $65 Clover
Ain't Even Hay
When the G.I. Bill was passed
providing $65 per month subsis-tence
for veterans attending
school, people generally thought
the boys would be "in clover." The
clover, however, has been chang-ing
to prairie grass, or less, with
the rising cost of living.
In a recent study of the costs of
living the American Council on
Education found that there has
been a 25.8(4 increase in the cost
of board and room since Septem-ber,
1945. The national average
for the board and rooms costs, es-tablished
on the basis of data from
132 schools, is now $53.33 per
month for the unmarried students
living on the campus. The average
off-campus cost is $64.13 for un-married
In view of these national aver-ages
our $42.33 per month is noth-ing
short of bargain-buying. "Ma"
Olson, her staff, and the manage-ment
are to be commended on the
achievement of high standards at
low costs. While the national ev-erage
has increased 25.8(/, , our
cost has increased 6.7%.

As a child Joseph Addison was
taught the Scriptures and would
recite certain portions to his moth-er
each evening before being tuck-ed
into bed.
On evenings when he was un-usually
tired he would ask for the
privilege of reciting his favorite
portion—which was the twenty
third Psalm.
Later, in ripe and famous man-hood,
when he had sojourned in

T 35 Answer Call to Track Conference Title
On Bethel Court oCuther Subdued Meets Scheduled
In Final Game., With 4-yr. Schools The top game of the season was
with Austin on Friday, February
28, when the Indians yielded to a
strong five by seven points.
Austin pounded down the floor
for the first basket, but Sandberg
replied at once with a bucket for
Bethel. This started the game roll-ing.
The first quarter Bethel re-ceived
many free throws. The first
quarter ended in a close score of
15 to 16 in favor of Austin.
The second quarter started off
with a bang; Sandberg shooting a
long and following it in making a
beautiful basket for Bethel. Both
teams scored heavily during this
The Braves displayed their su-periority
by getting the rebounds,
making their foes shoot long shots.
Before the end of the 'quarter,
Sandberg ,made another spectacu-lar
shot arousing cheering from
the audience. The score at the
half was 34 to 35, with Austin
leading by one point.
The third quarter found Kenny
Greenman teaming down the floor
for a bucket. He dumped in three
consecutive baskets putting Bethel
far in the lead. Austin was -play-ing
a very hard game as they
could not get the rebounds. Grif-fin

In the last quarter tables turned

down the side for a neat basket
for Bethel.
Greenman, having no fouls, was

can arrange all his classes on the
first floor. Those strenuous climbs
to second and third floors sap
what little energy he has left after
work-outs. The rule for eating
meals is: take along a light eater
who will be willing to go for your
thirds and fifths. A must for aris-ing
in the morning is to get on
the good side of your room-mate

real gentle-like.
No, the misery and pain that
goes with training for track far
exceeds the glory received. It is
a sport for only those who
thoroughly enjoy it and who get
real excitement out of using all
those new muscles that have been
whipped into shape and in bring-ing
back honors for the school.
I've beat the dead-line this week
so now have time for some re-freshments
in the coffee shop.
Would anyone care to join me in a
luscious glass of water?
The idea of having a track team
was recently revived by a few col-lege
students, who confered with
the coach and the school authori-ties
for approval. It was granted
and a meeting was called for Feb.
28 for all men that were inter-ested.
The meeting was well attended
and included the reading of the
training rules with such stringent
regulations as no eating between
meals and being in bed by eleven
o'clock. The training schedule was
read to the men. For the first
two weeks the program was to
include calesthenics and a mile
run every afternoon. The men who
wanted to participate pledged to
abide by the training program and
rules for at least three weeks.
Bob Daley is taking the position
of coaching the thirty men that are
participating. He is well qualified,
being a member of the champion
two mile relay team in the Iowa
State meet in 1944.
The meets are scheduled to be-gin
in the later part of April or
the beginning of May. Competi-tion
will be with such colleges as
Macalester and Hamline Universi-ty
in the Minnesota Four Year Col-lege
The team is planning to have a
full schedule of activities includ-ing
shot put, discuss throwing;
high jump, broad jump, pole vault
and all of the running events.
Two members already have
shown great promise. Herb Elli-son
has run the half mile in two
minutes, which is considered fast.
LeRoy Sandberg has been running
the mile at a good pace. Schultz
predicts him as "the dark horse
of the team."

Finally when Addison's great
career was finished, at the early
age of forty-seven, and he lay on
his death bed, he seemed again
like a little child.
He had come to the end of life's
busy day and he seemed to say to
his heavenly Father, "I am so
tired. May I recite my favorite por-tion
of Scripture?" And so that
faithful heart who had loved the
Word through the years, repeated
once more the psalm he loved
most to repeat at Mother's knee—
"The Lord is My Shepherd; I
shall not want."

FIRST: IF IN DOUBT, CALL YOUR VET. There are some poisons / items that are best left in the dog. Inducing vomiting could cause further damage in some cases. Most vets will tell you over the phone to induce vomiting or not. The following info all came from my vet after Ruby decided to snack on a bottle of ibuprophen.
In the case of ibuprophen it always a 'make them vomit', as the longer the pills sit in the stomach the higher the risk for gastric ulcers and/or renal damage.
If you just watched your dog gulp down a pair of underware or a rat (and you know who you are!) and you'd like them to return them to you, follow the simple steps outlined below!
1. Feed the dog a nice big bowl of food so it has some extra 'stuff' to throw up. In the case of pills this makes it more probable that that all of the pills will come up. In the case of other nasty stuff, it gives the dog more volume to help things come up easier (important when you need to get bones or plastic to come up)
2. Give them a nice big bowl of water mixed with milk or broth so that they will drink a LOT of it.
3. Use a medicine dropper - sold at any pharmacy for giving kids medicine - to give the dog 1 tablespoon of hydrogen peroxide. Three teaspoons = 1 tablespoon. Hold the dog's mouth open and stick the dropper in their throat, then hold the dog's mouth shut to force them to swallow.
4. Back up and wait.
You MUST have 'fresh' hydrogen peroxide for this. To test your HP, put a little in your mouth, it should fizz immediately. If not go get a new bottle. The HP will fizz when it hits the dog's stomach, your dog may foam at the mouth for a bit and vomit a little. DO NOT bring your dog in after the first 'spit up'. Until they have really heaved a few times they are not done. It can take about 15 minutes. If they have not vomited in that time, give another tablespoon of HP.
One bowl of food turned into three large piles of vomit because the food expands a good deal in the stomach. If you bring the dog in too soon you WILL be sorry!!!!
Don't let the dog eat or drink for a few hours or they may vomit it up again. I let Ruby drink and vomit a few times to clear the bad taste out, so we just stayed in the yard for an hour or so.
Be prepared for lots of dirty looks from your dog.

Tummy troubles - be gone! This definitely soothed my unsettled stomach. It helped with my bloating and gas. I was nervous it wouldn't taste very good, but I was pleasantly surprised!
Fowler's® Digestive Tonic is the natural every-day digestive aid. It helps stimulate digestion (improves the flow of bile, which the body uses to digest fats) and helps relieve gas (flatulent dyspepsia), bloating, nausea and vomiting. Enjoy the many health benefits of peppermint, traditionally used in herbal medicine to help relax your gastro-intestinal system and relieve discomfort. Fowler's Digestive Tonic also includes silicon from equisetum arvense, a plant which is popularly known in herbal medicine as "horsetail." Fowler's® Digestive Tonic comes in a pleasant, refreshing liquid formulation you can take undiluted, or in a small glass of water. Feel fine again—naturally!
Suggested Dose (Adult): Take 15ml (1 tablespoon) 3 times daily. To be taken as-is or diluted into water, preferably before meals. Do not drink directly from the bottle. *Shake well before use.
Fowler's® Digestive Tonic is a high quality, safe, and effective Natural Health Product approved by Health Canada. NPN: 80046141
Medicinal Ingredients (per 15ml / 1 tablespoon): Silicon (Silicon Equisetum arvense-herb top) 8.4mg, Peppermint (Mentha x piperita essential oil-leaf) 0.13ml.
I don't bloat that much so I don't find a product like this useful. I take probiotics on a regular which helps me. I'm not a fan of taking supplements in liquid form. For people who cannot swallow tablets, this is for you! The flavour is OK.
The tonic help with my mom digestive issues but the taste is off putting. I would recommend it to my friends but i would give them a heads up on the taste.
I like this product, its help alot when i have an upset stomach just one teaspoon of Fowler"s will get relieved of any stomach discomfort will suggest this product to my friend who in need and will purchase this product again
I used this product for my Father who is a senior. It certainly seemed to help his digestion, he was more comfortable. Although the flavor wasn't great.
I found the digestive tonic had a very unpleasant flavour. Using it didn't seem to provide any relief from gas and the discomfort of bloating Don't think I would recommend this product to friends

Phillip Phillips + Reed Grimm Skate Through Round 1 of 'American Idol'
The stakes are high in Hollywood Round 1 this week as some wannabe stars are hitting their marks and others are just hitting strings of wrong notes. After we enjoyed a line of epic foibles (like one girl begging in a high squeak, "Can I just sing one more note? Just one more?" ... ), Steven Tyler went backstage to offer a bit of a pep talk to the nervous contestants, urging that he wanted to see some snapping, yelling and "freaking out."
First up was Phillip Phillips from Leesburg, Ga., who was accepted by the 'Idol' crew in Savannah. There, he wowed Jackson with his rendition of 'Superstition' by Stevie Wonder. Though the kid has obvious pipes, one of his biggest accomplishments during Hollywood Week was taking his first plane ride (aside from skydiving).
We only got to see about four seconds of Phillips' raspy take on James Brown's 'Papa's Got a Brand New Bag,' and though it wasn't enough to really be wowed, Phillips did come across as a strong young voice with enough good looks to boot. Though they didn't let him sing for very long, the judges did take kindly to the talent after seeing him without the comfort of his guitar, and Phillips made it through to tomorrow's show.
Next up was Reed Grimm, a charismatic kid who gives off an energy that makes you wonder just what you're going to get out of him. And it didn't help when he announced the song he was going to perform: '(I've Got A) Golden Ticket' from Willy Wonka. But when he started scatting his way through it with a Jason Mraz-like beat, the judges seemed to get into it, and Grimm was able to walk away with his own golden ticket for tomorrow's show.

Subscribe To The ABCs Of Death Poster Reveals Dark Sense Of Humor Updates
I've already subscribed
Horror fans have plenty to look forward to this Fall, thanks to the deeply creepy anthology The ABCs of Death. Taking a page from children's educational books, this collection of terror will offer 26 death-centered stories from 26 of modern horror's rising stars including Ti West (The House of the Devil), Jason Eisener (Hobo with a Shotgun), Noboru Iguchi (The Machine Girl), Srdjan Spasojevic (A Serbian Film), Nacho Vigalondo (Time Crimes), Ben Wheatley (Kill List), and Adam Wingard (V/H/S). Each chapter will offer a new lesson in death inspired by a letter of the alphabet, like "T is for Toilet," which is the contribution of Done in 60 Seconds. With Clay's Lee Hardcastle. This macabre sense of humor is fittingly mirrored in The ABCs of Death's new poster:
This poster revealed by Entertainment Weekly was designed by Kaare Andrews, the comic book artist behind The Incredible Hulk and Ultimate X-Men who is slated to helm the Cabin Fever prequel Patient X. From the looks of this poster, it's a shame Andrews, who is a writer on the film, could not be wedged into direct one of ABCs' segments.
This image of a plump little baby looking into what is sure to be a grisly book, while sitting on the lap of the gruesome figure of the grim reaper is freakishly captivating. The juxtaposition of innocent babe and the embodiment of death and decay is so striking that The ABCs of Death need not apply such trending poster gimmicks as motion posters—where the flames might flicker or the finger might twitch—or sound effects. No, Andrews design work here is so strong that I can already hear a crooked, broken lullaby playing in the distance over the crackle of flames. It's an entirely evocative image that boasts its filmmakers, tone and concept without giving away any of ABCs surprises. Completed with the logos for Drafthouse Films and Magnet—which both function as a seal of approval for many genre fans—and you've got a promo poster that's sure to have horror audiences eager to learn The ABCs of Death.
The ABCs of Death is coming this September.

I really enjoy and rely on your reviews. I hope you will post some more soon.
Your review of Devin nailed it and made me laugh! It just captured how powerhouse fragrances elicit a love-or-hate response and that one man's perfume may be another man's poison!
Check it out - after trying your vintage Habit Rouge EdC (the first one I try that hadn't gone bad) I had to have some. A lot, actually. I got this monster:
I just got my first bottle of the vintage HR EDT. I'm with you - I think I like the current version better. The EDP is so nice too, though. And although it's way too expensive for what it is, l'Extrait is fantastic.
If you get Jicky, just get the EDP refill, like this one:
It's not worth paying extra for the cheap metallic gold grille cover for it, and the EDT is watery stuff. It's crazy how expensive Jicky EDP is. It's about double the cost/ml of Mitsouko and LHB. When I drain this bottle I'm just going to get a bee bottle I think.
I agree - LHB is just so pretty. This outs me as a total nerd, but I imagine the elf queen Galadriel from Lord of the Rings sweats LHB EDC. I don't wear LHB, but I keep it around so I can smell it sometimes. I have testers of both the EDT and the parfum, and I bought my mother a bottle of the EDP so I can smell it on someone occasionally!
Hey - I just checked out your wardrobe - we do have a lot of overlap. It's cool to find another HR fan. The obvious omission in your collection is Jicky! If you rate MdM a 5, you have to get some Jicky EDP! Fantastic stuff.

Off Season Ticket News...
View Single Post
WSI Personality
Join Date: Oct 2003
Location: Palos Park & Little Italy
Posts: 563
I owned two full season tickets in what last year was called the "premium box seats". Since I had a high row our seat prices were staying the same - not going up or down in price. Still at an average price of $91 per game for two seats I wanted a better location even if it cost a little more. I have asked my rep numerous times about improving the location. After several calls to him I would get the same answer - nothing better available. So I decided that the seats in that location weren't worth the premium prices so I asked about lower reserved outfield seats close to the field and near the aisle - they seemed like a good value at about $20 per set per game. I was told again that there wasn't much available - most of the seats were in rows 8 or higher and in the middle of a row. At the same time, my son called the White Sox about outfield reserved seats and spoke to a rep - she checked over a few days and came up with two aisle seats in the second row from the field. Great seats for $20 per ticket per game
We are taking those second row outfield seats. Why aren't current season ticket holders allowed first choice? Is it just a difference in the quality of the rep's diligence or follow through or do the Sox just take existing STH's for granted. I told my rep I was cancelling my two premium seats because I wasn't satisfied with my high row location. (I didn't mention my son's "find.)
His response was basically "OK, we will settle your account". I am surprised the Sox don't offer more creative solutions or have a Ticket Manager call you before you quit. They just lost over $7300 in ticket revenue not to mention parking concessions, etc. For example, when I recently "fired" Direct TV a few weeks I had to talk to several different people all with suggestions on new plans, benefits, etc. They asked "how can we do better"? The Sox just let me walk away...

Follow Dr. Kristy Leissle through blog updates as she discovers Antartica.
"After a 2011 visit sparked my interest in this remote part of the world, I started considering the ways that Antarctica has made major contributions, both historically and today, to processes of globalization. Much like my main geographical area of study, sub-Saharan Africa, Antarctica receives little recognition for these contributions, either in popular media or globalization scholarship. So, I decided to take a closer look at the continent myself."
Welcome to our All things…crows page!
I did not have any knowledge (and to be honest any appreciation) about crows and ravens before I moved to the USA (they do not occur in Peru, my native country). Due to my huge interest on birds & animal behavior, and the influence of one of my professors during graduate school at the University of Washington in Seattle (Dr. John Marzluff)….I could not avoid getting interested in them.
Now? I am fascinated by all corvids and it is becoming a little bit of an obsession. I know John will be smiling with satisfaction if he reads this.
I work at UW-Bothell and, in case you don't know during the fall and winter, thousands and I really mean thousands of American Crows (Corvus brachyrhynchos) come to roost in the North Creek wetland in our campus.
I was asked by Dr. Leslie Ashbaugh, the Assistant Vice Chancellor for Academic Achievement and FYPMP (First Year and Pre-Major Program) at UW-Bothell, to teach a class about crows. She is the main instigator of this class and I am so thankful for it, as I think I have never enjoyed teaching a class on campus as much as this.
My students and I are learning so much about crows and other corvids. Not only about their natural history, but also other aspects related to the interactions between them and humans. This has become a fantastic journey that I am sharing with 48 undergrads at UW-Bothell this Winter of 2014.
Thus, we all want to share with others what we are learning in this class. Follow us as we share our adventures learning all about crows!
