Dear Amy: My husband and I do not plan to have children for a few more years. We already know we are the "I only like my own kids" type of people.
My problem is, I don't want other people's kids at our house — ever — for any reason. The way we see it, when we have kids, we'll have kids over at our house for the rest of our lives. Until then I don't want there to even be a chance that something will get broken or ruined by undisciplined kids and negligent parents. When we have our own children, we can teach and discipline them as we see fit.
How can we politely find out if a friend is planning on bringing his/her kids to our place? Is there a polite way to tell people our house is a no-kid zone?
— No-Kid Zone
Dear No-Kid: One way to prevent kids from invading your world is to convey to parents: "We only like our own children, but we don't have any, so that means we don't like any children — at least for now."
You have a right to keep your home a pristine castle, but your letter raises my hackles because you claim you want to have children and yet — you don't like them. So why plan to have kids? Parenthood is not for everyone.
You need to learn that the fullness of life is incubated in its messy places. Letting go of your iron-grip control will free you to surrender to surprise. And one of your surprises could be that not all kids are destructive little monsters hell-bent on breaking your stuff, and not all parents are neglectful nincompoops (although truly, where kids go, stains sometimes follow).
But that is beside the point. Right now, you need only tell your friends, "We'd really like for you to come over, but only if you can get a sitter."
Dear Amy: Ten months ago, my boyfriend and I picked out an engagement ring together.
That was in June, and he still hasn't given the ring to me. Whenever I try to ask why he hasn't proposed yet, it turns into a big fight.
He says he isn't ready yet and is waiting for the perfect time. We have dated for 3 1/2 years and lived together for two years. He has been married before, so I feel maybe that has something to do with it, but he insists it doesn't.
I don't know how much longer I can sit back watching all my other friends get engaged and married. It's making me really angry toward him, and it really hurts me. I just want to know how long is too long to keep waiting.
— Eager to be Engaged
Dear Eager: I remember being eager, like you. Like you, I had a reluctant guy who just couldn't get off the dime. And being me, I found a way to force the issue. (If you wonder how all this turned out, you can ask my ex-husband.)
If your guy were ready, he would create his own perfect moment. You could probably crowbar him off of his perch, but if you do, he will enter marriage feeling coerced and controlled.
Succumbing to peer pressure to get married is the worst reason to enter into such an important and intimate state.
You need to sit down and talk to your guy. Stay calm. Don't pressure him about the ring. Tell him you understand and accept that he's not ready and take it off the table. Do you want to stay with him, unmarried and unengaged? If so, stay. Otherwise, if you want marriage, you will need to face the fact that you will probably have to find a different partner.
Dear Amy: I have some advice for "Rejected Mom." She says she wants her kids to "feel loved and not rejected." Well, if so, then love them and do not reject them.
Do not expect others to provide the love and acceptance you desire for your own.
Dear R: She also signed her letter "Rejected Mom," which told me that this was really more about her than her children.

DETROIT (AP) — The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating complaints that children have been trapped in Graco car seats because the buckles won't unlatch.
The probe covers My Ride and Nautilus car seats from 2009 through 2011 made by Graco Children's Products Inc. of Atlanta, the safety agency said in documents posted on its website Friday.
NHTSA has received 25 reports of problems from consumers, with some complaining that they had to use excessive force to unlatch the buckle. Three told the agency they had to cut the seat's harness to free their child, while six more said they had to pull the child through the harness. No injuries have been reported.
In one complaint from October of 2011, a parent wrote that they tried to get a 20-month-old boy out of a My Ride seat, but the center release button on the buckle couldn't be depressed. The parent was able to loosen the straps from the rear of the seat enough to free the child. "My biggest concern is that if this happens during an emergency, where we need to get him out quickly, we won't be able to without cutting the belt material," the parent wrote.

A Fairytale's Ending
Edward once told Bella that his human memories faded over time; that his human instincts were there, but buried deep... Chicago. 1918. Edward Masen is a young, naive seventeen-year-old; his thoughts focusing only on his impending enlistment in the army, and his infatuation with Rosaline Daniels. Then, on a chance meeting, he falls in love with Ada Harper...a head-strong outcast who wants nothing more then her freedom. In the tradition of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, and set against the backdrop of WWI, this is the story of two people. One forgotten...the other re-born.
Hey! This is my latest "epic" fanfiction undertaking, and I have big plans for it. However, if you're a strong Edward/Bella lover, or hate anything non-cannon...this story has no Bella (kind of) and goes against Stephenie's "written" cannon. Although she never mentioned anything about this... ;) So, without further ado, here it is! Enjoy! I own nothing. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing! Except the characters of Ada and her family. Let us all take a moment to appreciate Stephenie's sheer genius...again. :) © Edward's Rose 2008

A Fairytale's Ending
By Edward's Rose
Amen, amen! But come what sorrow can,
It cannot countervail the exchange of joy
That one short minute gives me in her sight.
Do thou but close our hands with holy words,
Then love-devouring death do what he dare;
It is enough I may but call her mine.
~ Romeo and Juliet, Act II, Scene VI
"I'm not used to feeling so human. Is it always like this?"
"You are the most important thing to me now. The most important thing to me ever."
"I have human instincts-they may be buried deep, but they're there."
"And for you?"
I watched the sun rise over Chicago, its rays striking in vivid contrast against the stark buildings. The curtains leading onto the balcony swayed gently in the breeze, whispering softly in my ear. I put a hand against the doorframe, taking a deep breath. There was a different scent to the air…hinting of the unknown. Of course not even the most beautiful sight could touch my heart. It all belonged to Rosaline Daniels, Chicago's brightest jewel…
A scowl crept across my face as I thought of Rosaline. With her dark, chestnut locks and sparkling, grey eyes. Her taunts still burned fresh in my mind, an imprint I could not remove:"Why, Edward Masen! It's a good thing you have your looks…because charm is something you are sorely lacking."
I rubbed my temples in frustration, staring intently at one of my mother's plants. Her stinging words had only made my adoration increase. Strange. With a soft sigh, I turned away from the window, drifting through the parlor. My father stood near the door, fumbling with some papers in his briefcase.
He looked up at my footsteps. "Good morning, Edward. You're up early."
"Mmmm," I agreed absentmindedly, examining a vase.
Father sighed. "A complete answer would've been nice," he mumbled. I pretended as if I didn't hear him.
He said goodbye and walked briskly towards the front door, where Mother was waiting. I sank into a chair, imagining all the ways I could win a kiss from Rosaline… My parents' hushed voices carried down the hall, and I listened detachedly:
"Elizabeth, what are we going to do with him?"
"I'm worried about him," Mother said softly, concern laced in her words.
"Hmm. All that boy's been doing is moping around for weeks! For God's sake…!"
"Shh…he could hear you!"
Their voices faded as they walked outside a-ways, and I gently plucked a flower from a vase. I began tearing its petals off one-by-one, feeling like a lovesick schoolboy. Even though that was the closest thing you could compare me to…
"Edward?" Mother called, closing the door with a soft snap.
"Here," I answered.
She glided swiftly into the room, with a natural and dainty grace. Settling into the chair opposite mine, a soft smile brushed across her face.
"Have my flowers offended you in some way, darling?" she teased, gently taking the broken stem from my fingers.
I didn't respond.
"Edward, I wanted to discuss something with you."
"There is going to be a ball tonight…hosted by the Andersons."
An angry sigh blew from my lips as I stood up. "No, Mother. Not a ball!"
"Edward, your father and I are worried. All you've been doing is sulking around the house for days! You haven't even touched the piano…"
"I'm fine!" I snapped, irritation flaring in my chest.
Mother regarded me levelly with her slanting, green eyes. "This is not a request, Edward."
"Balls hold no interest for me at the moment," I said indifferently, trying to control my voice.
"You might actually end up enjoying yourself! Why, the Rushes will be there…along with the Roberts. The Daniels, too…"
My head snapped up. "Did you say the Daniels?"
Mother gave an encouraging smile. "Yes, I did."
Rosaline! I could dance with her, court her! A slow smile spread unconsciously over my face, a dark cloud seemingly lifted from my chest.
"So you will come?" Mother asked slowly.
I looked her straight in the eyes. "Yes, I'll come."
"Miss Ada!" a voice called.
I felt the blankets being pulled back, the curtains thrown wide. A small groan escaped from my mouth as I rolled over, trying to recapture the dream I'd just had. Sunlight flooded through my aching eyelids, banishing all traces of sleep with their golden rays.
"Ada, time to greet the day!" the voice said again.
I opened my eyes a crack, staring into Nurse's old, wizened face.
"Must I?" I mumbled.
"Ada!" she scolded. "Your mother would like a word with you! And you and I both know it's not good to keep her waiting."
I thought of my mother and her cheerless, pallid face. Sometimes I felt like an alien…born into the wrong family, in the wrong time.
"Come on," Nurse prodded, gently pulling me from the warmth of my bed.
I dragged a hand across my eyes, looking longingly towards the French doors which led out onto my balcony.
"Ada, she's waiting," Nurse warned.
With a sigh, I began getting ready for the day…feeling the familiar chains of my life slip back into place.
I sat rigidly next to my mother on the sofa, sipping scalding tea from china cups. If Mother had noticed the bitterness of the liquid, she didn't indicate so.
With one of her small sighs, she set the cup down and looked towards me. "Ada," she said heavily, scanning my face.
The corners of her mouth turned down in disapproval. "Do you remember the plans we had tonight?"
I wracked my brains, desperately searching for the answer she wanted. "We were going to-to…"
She sighed, waving my mumbling off with her hand. "Honestly, I don't know what to do with you, Ada. We are to attend the ball hosted by the Andersons, remember?"
"Ahh…yes," I said quickly, hoping my words sounded convincing.
She ignored me. "Paris Travers will be there." Mother regarded me fiercely, searching for the effect her words had on me.
"That's…nice. He's a wonderful young man," I offered.
She sighed again. "Ada, Paris seems to have taken a fancy to you. Your father and I were hoping that maybe…someday, you could be married."
"Married?!" I exclaimed, nearly dropping my cup of tea.
"Oh, don't act so surprised," Mother reprimanded, "it is normal for girls…"
"But I'm barely seventeen…!"
"Ada, a young lady never raises her voice!"
Decorum was the last thing on my mind. "Excuse me, Mother," I mumbled, making a mad dash for the staircase.
I ignored her calls, thinking only of the sanctuary which was my room. Sharply, I opened the door and rushed towards my vanity table…sinking down onto the cushioned stool. My fingers shook as I laced them together, resting my forehead against them. I managed to look up at my reflection, and tried to push all thoughts of Paris from my mind.
I was not going to be forced into a loveless marriage for the rest of my life. My life's plan was being set, but I was determined to alter its course.
I stood by a pillar in the Andersons' cavernous ballroom. This was absolute…tedium. My eyes swept darkly over the brilliant-colored dancers, sashaying across the floor as if they didn't have a care in the world. As if the country was not teetering on the brink of war. As if there weren't people suffering in this very room.
Mother shot me an encouraging smile from across the room…the smile slipping as she noted my expression. "Please," she mouthed.
I managed a tight smile, skirting the dancers as if I were pariah. Across the room, I spotted Rosaline, chatting amiably with a small group of friends. My stomach clenched as her diamond earrings caught in the light; something like nausea possessing me as her dark curls spun effortlessly with a toss of her head.
Clenching my fists, I took a deep breath and started wading through the crowd…towards Rosaline. At that exact moment, something happened. My eyes unconsciously were drawn to the large, gilded staircase…which a slight figure was descending.
Shards of sunlight seemed to blur my vision, and I took a small step forwards…suddenly longing for a glimpse of the figure's face. As if answering a prayer, a small, white face turned in my direction. Tendrils of golden hair escaped their elegant bun, so they rested haphazardly against her cheeks. Her cornflower-blue eyes raked over the room, as if she were reading its inhabitants' very souls.
And then those eyes, which seemed to glisten with an intuitive spark, settled on me.

Pediatric Formulations of ARVs: Including an Exciting New Class
March/April 2012
Table of Contents
International guidelines recommend universal and immediate treatment of HIV-infected neonates, which poses a significant challenge given the lack of suitable formulations in this age group.
Three posters at CROI showed novel "sprinkle" formulations of two integrase inhibitors and a protease inhibitor.
Dolutegravir (DTG) is a promising integrase inhibitor currently in phase 3 of development. The compound is interesting for several reasons: once daily dosing for treatment naive patients, low milligram dose (50 mg, so potential for co-formulation and low cost), adequate plasma exposure without boosting, few expected drug interactions, an expected different resistance profile to raltegravir and a very comprehensive development plan. 96-week phase 3 data was also presented at CROI 2012 (see above).
The developers -- a partnership between Shionogi & Co and ViiV Healthcare -- plan to study the compound in all paediatric age groups down to young infants, a population woefully short of appropriate antiretroviral formulations. DTG is currently being studied in children 6 18 years in IMPAACT P1093.
Parul Patel and colleagues presented findings from an evaluation of the single dose pharmacokinetics (PK) in healthy adults of a new oral granule formulation of DTG, in development for infants and young children. [1] The granules were given with and without 30 mL of various liquids and compared to the current tablet formulation given with 240 mL of tap water.
This was a single-centre, randomised, open-label, 5-way crossover study in 20 healthy adult subjects. Subjects received a single dose of DTG 50 mg as the phase 3 tablet and in 10 g of granule given: direct to mouth with no liquid; with purified water; with mineral water containing high caution concentrations (Contrex); or with infant formula milk. All formulations were administered in fasting state.
The study treatments were separated by seven days. Safety evaluations and serial PK samples were collected over 48 hours in each dosing period. The PK parameters of DTG were estimated using noncompartmental methods; geometric least squares (GLS) mean ratios and 90% CI were generated to compare treatments. Taste was assessed using a questionnaire that examined bitterness, sweetness and colour.
The investigators reported DTG exposures of the granule formulation were all moderately higher than the tablet formulation with or without liquids (55% -- 83% and 62% -- 102% for AUC 0-INF and Cmax respectively, see Table 1). Exposure was highest when the granule formulation was given with formula milk.
Inter-subject variability from the granule formulation was modest with a coefficient variation for AUC of 31-43%. DTG was well tolerated and there were no withdrawals due to AEs. The subjects rated the taste as acceptable for all treatments.
Table 1: Comparison of PK Parameters of Dolutegravir
These data indicate that the DTG granule formulation can be given without restriction on the type of liquid or can be given alone. The taste was not considered to be a barrier to further development although the investigators noted that children's preference could be different to that of adults. The granule formulation is being studied further in children in IMPAACT P1093.

You probably had a little trouble finding "Concerned Mom" because her address isn't on Google Maps. Frustrating, I know. If only queenoftheforest had been there to point you in the right direction:
All you had to do to find "Concerned Mom" was to go to downtown Tropeville, and look for her on the corner of Stereotype Ave. and Fearmongering Blvd.

Aldara Cream In Packet
GENERIC NAME(S): Imiquimod
OTHER NAME(S): Aldara Cream In Packet
This medication is used to treat certain types of growths on the skin. These are precancerous growths (actinic keratoses), a certain type of skin cancer (superficial basal cell carcinoma), and warts on the outside of the genitals/anus. Treating these conditions can decrease complications from them. Imiquimod belongs to a group of drugs called immune response modifiers. It is believed to work by helping to activate your immune system to fight these abnormal skin growths.
This product is not recommended for use on children under 12 years of age unless specifically directed by your doctor.
How to use Aldara Cream In Packet
Read the Patient Information Leaflet provided by your pharmacist before you start using imiquimod and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
Use this medication on the skin only. Apply this medication to the affected area once a day as directed by your doctor. The number of times and the length of time you apply this medication depend on the specific skin problem that is being treated. When treating actinic keratoses, apply twice a week for a full 16 weeks. When treating superficial basal cell carcinoma, apply 5 times a week for a full 6 weeks. When treating warts, apply 3 times a week for up to 16 weeks. If you have any questions about which days to apply this medication or how often or how long to use this medication, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
Do not apply this medication into the eyes, nose, mouth, rectum, or vagina. If you get this medication in those areas, flush with plenty of water. If irritation occurs, contact your doctor right away.
Use this medication regularly in order to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, use a calendar to mark the days you will be applying the medication each week. Before applying the medication, wash the area to be treated with soap and water, and dry thoroughly. Use a new packet of cream for each use. Apply as directed by your doctor just before going to bed. Wash your hands with soap and water after each application. Do not cover the treated area with bandages or other waterproof coverings. Covering the area with cotton gauze, or cotton underwear if treating the genital area, is permitted. Leave the cream on overnight, usually for about 8 hours if treating actinic keratoses or basal cell carcinoma, or 6-10 hours for warts or as directed. In the morning, wash the treated area with soap and water to remove the cream. Do not bathe or wet the treated area before the prescribed application time has passed. Do not leave imiquimod cream on longer than prescribed by your doctor. Throw away any partly used packets of medication.
Tell your doctor if your condition persists or worsens or if new growths appear during treatment.
Side Effects
Treatment area reactions may include redness, swelling, itching, burning, pain/tenderness, thickening/hardening of the skin, peeling/flaking/scabbing/crusting, or leaking a clear fluid. Also, changes in skin color may occur and may not go away. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
If the skin reaction is severe (bleeding, formation of sores/blisters/ulcers), imiquimod may need to be temporarily stopped so that the skin can heal. Follow your doctor's directions.
Flu-like symptoms (such as fever, tiredness, muscle aches), runny/stuffy nose, cough, diarrhea, nausea, and back pain may also occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.
Tell your doctor right away if any of these unlikely but serious side effects occur: swollen glands (lymph nodes), new unusual skin growths/changes, chest pain, trouble urinating.
A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, seek immediate medical attention if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.
This is not a complete list of possible side effects. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
In the US -
Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or at www.fda.gov/medwatch.
In Canada - Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to Health Canada at 1-866-234-2345.
Before using imiquimod, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or if you have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details.
Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history, especially of: recent/unhealed surgery on the skin area to be treated, immune system problems (including HIV infection), a certain complication of bone marrow or some organ transplants (chronic graft-versus-host disease), autoimmune diseases (such as rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma, lupus).
This medication may make you more sensitive to the sun. Limit your time in the sun. Avoid tanning booths and sunlamps. Use sunscreen and wear protective clothing when outdoors. Tell your doctor right away if you get sunburned or have skin blisters/redness.
Genital/anal warts are caused by a virus called human papillomavirus (HPV). Since imiquimod does not destroy the virus but only helps to eliminate the wart, new warts may form, even while you are being treated. You may also be able to infect any sexual partner who comes into contact with the areas of skin infected with HPV.
To reduce the risk of spreading HPV to others, always use effective barrier protections (such as latex or polyurethane condoms, dental dams) during all sexual activity. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details.
During treatment of genital/anal warts, avoid all sexual contact while the cream is on the skin. Condoms, dental dams, and diaphragms may be weakened by the cream, and therefore they may not work as well to prevent pregnancy or spreading of HPV or HIV.
During pregnancy, this medication should be used only when clearly needed. Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor.
It is unknown whether this drug passes into breast milk. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.
The effects of some drugs can change if you take other drugs or herbal products at the same time. This can increase your risk for serious side effects or may cause your medications not to work correctly. These drug interactions are possible, but do not always occur. Your doctor or pharmacist can often prevent or manage interactions by changing how you use your medications or by close monitoring.
To help your doctor or pharmacist give you the best care, be sure to tell your doctor or pharmacist about all the products you use (including prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and herbal products) before starting treatment with this product. While using this product, do not start, stop, or change the dosage of any other medicines you are using without your doctor's approval.
Keep a list of all the products you use. Share the list with your doctor and pharmacist to reduce your risk for serious medication problems.
This medicine may be harmful if swallowed. If someone has overdosed and has serious symptoms such as passing out or trouble breathing, call 911. Otherwise, call a poison control center right away. US residents can call their local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. Canada residents can call a provincial poison control center.
Do not share this medication with others.
Keep all medical appointments.
Missed Dose
If you miss a dose, use it as soon as you remember. If you do not remember until the next day, skip the missed dose and resume your usual dosing schedule in the evening. Do not double the dose to catch up.
Refrigerate or store the US product at room temperature between 39-77 degrees F (4-25 degrees C). Store the Canadian product at room temperature between 59-77 degrees F (15-25 degrees C). Avoid freezing. Discard any medication that has been frozen. Do not store in the bathroom. Keep all medicines away from children and pets.

Michelle Williams and Jason Segel have taken their relationship up a notch, moving in together in Brooklyn, according to a couple of published reports.
"She is renting it, but he stays there," a source told People on Wednesday. Segel is reportedly traveling back and forth to L.A. for work on "How I Met Your Mother."
The waterfront apartment is "in a stunning converted warehouse behind gates," with a view of the Manhattan skyline, according to the Mail Online, which first broke the news.
"They've been here a few months now and they look right at home," a source told the British publication.
One significant note: This means Williams has finally left behind the Manhattan brownstone she purchased in 2005 with the late Heath Ledger, father of her daughter, Matilda.
Michelle and Jason, dating since the beginning of the year, are said to have been introduced by her good friend and "Dawson's Creek" costar Busy Philipps, who was also on "Freaks and Geeks" with Segel.
Jason and Matilda, who turns 7 on Sunday, have been spotted together outside the new place, the Mail said.

Burton High Fives brings top level international riders to Snow Park, New Zealand to take part in insane activities and a contest format that would be hard to mimic in any other part of the world. Hectic car driving, shooting, knife throwing, buggy driving and jet boating combined with one of the most progressive competitions ever. Mark McMorris attempts the world's first slopestyle triple cork, Stale Sandbech lands a 1440 and Mikkel Bang still puts style first. A must -see!
A big gap to rail then awaited everyone at Cardrona that they built especially for DDU. The aim was to test what exactly is possible when you have an amazing 20 foot jump onto a 30 foot rail. Flips, spins and another crazy episode of Diaries for you!

Today is Bastille Day, the annual French celebration of storming prisons and liberating hundreds of deserving criminals. As we speak, this year's breakout has seen no less than four hundred benefit fraudsters, petty thieves and mimes flood the cafés and galleries of Paris, smoking Gitanes and complaining about the food.
There's no better way to mark the occasion than with a drink, but I'd been having some trouble pulling things together until I spotted a carton of cherry juice in the supermarket. It's a little bland and quite dry by itself, but add a touch of gomme and a decent measure of Cognac, et voila!
Cherry Republic
45ml Courvoisier Exclusif
30ml cherry juice
1 barspoon gomme
Stir all ingredients with ice and strain into an ice-filled rocks/old-fashioned glass. Garnish with a lemon zest twist and a cocktail cherry.

Pick a Card, Pick a Plan
How and Where to Get Financial Support to Help Pay for Your Meds
March/April 2010
Most, if not all, pharmaceutical companies already provide some level of patient assistance to individuals who are unable to afford their HIV medications. These are typically for uninsured patients only and those who qualify financially. Qualifications vary by program, so individuals and care providers should contact the manufacturer directly to see if an individual is eligible for a specific patient assistance program, or PAP (see sidebar).
Many companies have also recently instituted co-pay assistance programs for their HIV drugs. Co-pay programs may cover all or part of the drug co-pay for many privately-insured individuals, up to a specified amount, and for a pre-determined period of time (for example, up to one year). Certain restrictions and eligibility requirements apply (for example, recipients of ADAP, Medicare, and Medicaid are ineligible), and eligibility requirements may vary from program to program. Individuals usually get their co-pay cards directly from their provider, or in some cases from the manufacturer's website or by calling a toll-free number. Once enrolled, they then bring the co-pay card to the pharmacy when filling the prescription, and the pharmacy is reimbursed for the amount covered. People who reside in the state of Massachusetts by law are not eligible for drug co-pay programs.
These co-pay programs are the direct result of several years of intense work and negotiations between the Fair Pricing Coalition (FPC) and representatives of the pharmaceutical industry. The FPC, founded by the late Martin Delaney, works with the drug companies on HIV drug pricing issues in an effort to help control costs and improve access to life-saving medications.
Major health insurance carriers contract with Prescription Benefit Managers (PBMs) to reduce health care costs through the use of mail-order pharmacies. Unfortunately many of the most widely used mail-order pharmacies in the U.S. do not accept co-pay cards, either because their systems are not set up to handle them or they don't have the software to process this type of reimbursement. This is a problem since more and more patients are required by their company's health care plan to acquire their medications through a mail-order pharmacy, and it's an issue that the Fair Pricing Coalition continues to work to address with each individual company.
There may be medications in addition to HIV drugs that individuals have to take, including those needed to control other conditions such as high cholesterol or diabetes. To find patient assistance or drug co-pay programs for these and other types of drugs, visit www.pparx.org or www.needymeds.com.
Together Rx is a prescription saings program for uninsured individuals sponsored by many of the nation's leading pharmaceutical companies. For more information call toll-free 1-800-966-0407, or enroll online at www.TogetherRxAccess.com.
Additional co-pay and/or patient assistance programs are available for hepatitis B and hepatits C drugs, as well as some medications or treatments used for other HIV-related conditions such as lipodsystrophy. Contact the manufacturer directly or visit www.positivelyaware.com and enter "co-pay programs" in the search box for more information.
Below is a brief description of currently available HIV co-pay programs. For more information, or if you have a problem accessing or using a specific program, call the Project Inform Hotline at 1-800-822-7422, or call the number listed for that program.

24 Small Towns May Lose Air Service
By New York Times
Updated: February 02, 2017
New York Times | Rural America, already struggling to recover from the recession and the flight of its young people, is about to take another blow: the loss of its airline service.
That was underscored last week when Delta Air Lines announced that it "can no longer afford" to continue service at 24 small airports. The carrier says it is losing a total of $14 million a year on flights from places like Thief River Falls, a city of 8,600 in northwest Minnesota that fills only 12 percent of the seats, or Pierre, the capital of South Dakota, where Delta's two daily flights are on average less than half full.
Nationally, all major airlines have been reducing and sometimes eliminating flights altogether in small cities, as the industry concentrates much of its service in 29 major hubs, which now account for 70 percent of all passenger traffic, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.

UPDATED: October 23, 2018
Where is Eaton County?
Eaton County is located in the south-central area of Michigan's lower peninsula (the part that looks like a mitten). Eaton County is bordered to the east by Ingham County (Lansing, East Lansing, Mason, Okemos, etc.), to the north by Clinton County (DeWitt, St. Johns, etc.) and Ionia County, to the west by Barry County (Hastings), and to the south by Calhoun County (Battle Creek) and Jackson County.
Eaton County is easy to get to. Interstate highway I-69 (which runs from Port Huron, MI south through Indiana and beyond) spans Eaton County, from our north-east corner to our south-west. Interstate I-96 (which runs from Detroit to Lake Michigan) travels along our north-east corner and northern border.
Eaton County had 103,655 residents in the 2000 census. The City of Charlotte (pop. 8,389) is the county seat. Our largest concentration of residents is in Delta Township (pop. 29,682), in the County's northeast corner, adjacent to the City of Lansing. Some of the communities in Eaton County are Bellevue, Charlotte, Dimondale, Eaton Rapids, Grand Ledge, Mulliken, Olivet, Potterville, Sunfield and Vermontville.
How can I become an Assistant Prosecuting Attorney?
Each of Michigan's 83 counties elects a Prosecuting Attorney every four years (during the Presidential election). Depending on staffing needs and budgets, each Prosecuting Attorney may hire Assistant Prosecuting Attorneys. Small counties may not have any APAs, while the largest counties may have several hundred to handle high caseloads and the wide-ranging responsibilities imposed on prosecutors by statute.
Prosecuting Attorneys and APAs are lawyers, licensed to practice in Michigan. As with other, prosecutors generally complete a four-year college degree and then go to law school, which generally takes three more years. After graduation, most states (including Michigan) require lawyers to pass an examination to become licensed to practice law in that state. Michigan's "bar exam" takes two days, but other states' exams take three days.
Job openings in Prosecuting Attorney office occur periodically. If you are interested in working in a particular county, you should contact that Prosecuting Attorney for information on job openings, qualification requirements, etc.
I want to work in your office. Do you have any job openings? What is the pay scale?
Our office occasionally has job openings. You should check the main Eaton County web site for current employment postings.
Other Prosecuting Attorney offices may have career opportunities for attorneys, clerical staff, victim services coordinators, investigators, etc. Check out the Michigan Prosecuting Attorneys Coordinating Council web site for recent openings. The US Attorney's office and the Department of Justice occasionally post job openings, too.
Nobody becomes a Prosecutor for the pay. The rewards are in making a difference in the community, seeing that justice is done, and speaking for victims of crime. The pay scale for Prosecutors and APAs varies from county to county. In Eaton County, APA salaries range from around $40,000 to $80,000.
Is your job risky or dangerous?
Many of the cases we handle involve facts and people that are emotional. Occasionally, that emotion is directed at the prosecutor, who is representing the community's interests in the case. Prosecutors in Michigan and throughout the country have been threatened, attacked, and tragically killed. But these incidents are rare. The physical risks in our jobs are not significant.
I feel that a crime has been committed. How do I press charges? Can I report a crime directly to the Prosecutor's office?
Crimes are investigated by the police, not the Prosecutor. Crimes should be reported to the police department or other law enforcement agency that has jurisdiction where the crime occurred. For example, crimes occurring inside the City of Charlotte should be reported to the Charlotte Police Department. Likewise, crimes occurring within the boundaries of Eaton Rapids, Grand Ledge, Potterville, Olivet and Bellevue should be reported to their municipal police departments. If the crime was committed elsewhere inside Eaton County, or in an area where the Eaton County Sheriff is the contracting law enforcement agency (e.g., Delta Township), the crime should be reported to the Sheriff. You may also contact the Michigan State Police Department.
Once the initial investigation has been completed, the police department's report is filed with the Prosecuting Attorney. The Prosecutor reviewing the warrant request may send the case back to the police for further investigation. Ultimately, the reviewing Prosecutor decides what charge(s), if any, will be issued and when the charges(s) should be issued.
How do I press counter-charges against someone?
This request generally arises from assaults. Regardless of whether you have already been charged, if you believe that a crime has been committed against you, go to the appropriate police department to file a complaint and request an investigation. Your case will be reviewed on its own merits.
I am the victim. Can I drop the charge?
Many people incorrectly believe that a victim has the power to "press charges" against the abuser, or to later "drop the charges".
All crimes are offenses against the community, not just the individual victim. Criminal complaints are prosecuted on behalf of the State of Michigan, not the individual who called the police or the person who may have been personally harmed by the defendant's conduct. ONLY the Prosecuting Attorney can issue or dismiss charges. This is important because it takes the responsibility for prosecuting the abuser off the victim's shoulders and puts it on the Prosecuting Attorney's, where it legally belongs. It also means that the defendant cannot "pressure" the victim into dropping the charges.
Although the decision whether to prosecute or not prosecute is ultimately up to the Prosecuting Attorney, the victim's opinion is important and the Prosecuting Attorney will take those wishes into account when making decisions about the case. A variety of factors are taken into account when deciding whether to honor a complainant's request not to proceed with a prosecution, including the nature and extent of the defendant's prior criminal history, the severity of the alleged crime, whether the defendant has other pending charges in the criminal justice system, and future danger to the community (including the current victim).
Can you tell me if a charge has been issued yet?
The Prosecuting Attorney's office only authorizes a criminal complaint; the court authorizes an arrest warrant, and the police department that investigates the case has the responsibility to find and arrest the defendant. The Prosecuting Attorney's office may not know if an arrest warrant is still outstanding, because that information is known by the police and the court. The defendant (or anyone asking about whether a warrant is still open) must contact the police agency handling the case. That department may be able to answer the question.
If the Prosecuting Attorney's office told a defendant that an arrest warrant was still outstanding, the defendant might flee.
How do I get my property back?
If your property was stolen and recovered by the police, it can sometimes be returned to you before the case is done; if the items are important pieces of evidence, in most cases we will need to keep the property secured in police custody. Ultimately, the decision whether evidence is released must be made by one of our office's attorneys.
Download our Request for Return of Property form, or contact Jody Strang, our Victim-Witness Coordinator at (517) 543-4835, for a copy. Return the completed form to our office so an APA can review it. You may be asked to present pictured identification.
Where do I get court forms?
Most court actions require a specific form to be filed with the court. Some forms are "local forms", and were created for use in one court. Other forms are used state-wide. You may be able to get a free copy of a court form that you need by contacting the court clerk.
If you are not sure which forms you need, a book of court forms may be available in the law library nearest you. After you know which court forms you need, you can make copies or write down the form numbers and contact a commercial forms printer for copies. Forms developed by the State Court Administrative Office should be photocopied, because most are not available from a printer.
Most of the SCAO Approved forms are also available as a PDF (portable document format) and can be filled in online and then printed. Go to courts.michigan.gov/scao/courtforms/, or our Downloads page.
REMEMBER: Court forms are only tools to assist in the processing of a court case. The forms do not guide you through the court process. If you do not have an attorney, you will need to understand the laws pertaining to your type of case.
I want to get a copy of a police report. How do I get a copy? Is it free?
If you are a defendant in a criminal or juvenile case, and you have an attorney, he or she will obtain a copy of the police report for you from our office; you can get a personal copy from your lawyer.
If you are a defendant and do not have an attorney --- or are just an interested citizen --- you can obtain a copy of a police report after the defendant has been arraigned on the charged offense. You will be charged for a police report and should appear in person at the Prosecuting Attorney's office to pick up the report. You should call ahead to request the copy, so that your copying fee can be determined, and sufficient time can be arranged by our staff to copy the report.
I want to get a copy of a person's criminal record. How do I get a copy? Is it free?
Many prosecuting attorney offices have direct access to computer networks with information about people's criminal histories. However, the privilege to access that information is limited. One limitation is that we can only search for criminal histories when they are directly related to a law-enforcement need, such as an on-going criminal prosecution. Another is that we cannot give the public copies of the criminal history information we uncover because doing so would violate LEIN rules.
However, the Michigan State Police operates the Internet Criminal History Access Tool (ICHAT), from which anyone can search the official MSP criminal history record database for $10.00 per search, using MasterCard or Visa. (Non-profit, charitable organizations may qualify for free ICHAT searches if criminal history checks are needed on people who work with children or the frail elderly.) For each search, you need the person's full name, sex, race and date of birth.
ICAT's criminal history database covers only Michigan convictions, and is updated daily with felony and misdemeanor conviction information provided by law enforcement, prosecuting attorneys and courts throughout the State. Your search includes only Michigan felony or misdemeanor arrests where a person has been convicted in a court, and where the conviction has been added to that person's criminal history record. It does not include arrests without a conviction, outstanding warrants, federal arrests or arrests from other states.
A search for a criminal record from another state requires you to correspond directly with the criminal record repository of that state.
The defendant is not paying court-ordered restitution. Who can help me?
Call the District or Circuit Court's probation department at the Courthouse --- (517) 543-7500 --- and ask for the probation officer who is assigned to the case. The probation officer can help you get your money if restitution was a condition of the defendant's probation and if the defendant is still on probation.
If the probation has expired and your restitution has not been paid in full, see a private lawyer. A criminal case restitution order is a court order that expires only when the restitution has been paid in full. If the court-ordered restitution covers all of your claims, then you do not have to separately sue the defendant. You can enforce the criminal case's restitution order like any civil judgment (e.g., garnishment of wages, attachment of property, etc.).
I was the victim of a violent crime. Will the Prosecuting Attorney pay for my hospital bill and my lost wages, help me collect for pain and suffering, etc?
No. However, the Michigan Crime Victim's Compensation Fund may be able to help you with un-reimbursed medical expenses and lost income. With regard to compensation for pain and suffering, you may need to contact a private attorney.
I have been cheated by a contractor, shopkeeper or other person who provides labor or services. Can the Prosecuting Attorney help me?
The Michigan Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division --- toll-free at (877) 765-8388, or locally at (517) 373-1140 --- may be able to help. They may also be able to refer you to an agency that can help you.
Can you tell me a defendant's next court date?
Did you check our Key Cases Calendar page? Our most asked-about cases are listed there.
Our office can provide you with information about upcoming court schedules if we filed charges against the defendant. Call us at (517) 543-4801 for assistance, call the court handling the defendant's case, Victims can register online at www.vinelink.com through email or text for automated messages of the scheduled court dates. Or the public can look at MI Court Eaton County website for Circuit Court cases only.
I want a divorce. I also need help getting child support. Can the Prosecutor's office help me?
The Prosecutor's office cannot provide legal advice or take legal action in your divorce. You should consult with a private lawyer. We can help you obtain a child support order, but the Friend of the Court is responsible for enforcing the order. For more information, see our Family Support web page, or contact Terri Sadler, our Child Support Specialists, Terri Sadler (517) 543-4897 or Kevin Nilson (517) 543-4890.
I want a restraining order to keep someone away from me. Will the Prosecuting Attorney do this for me?
Yes. Please see our Personal Protection Order (PPO) web page.
I have been subpoenaed to appear as a witness in a criminal case. Can I get witness fees? What if I can't attend on the date stated in the subpoena?
Whether a witness receives any witness fee is within the discretion of the court. A court can order that you receive witness fees ($6 per morning or afternoon court session that you are ordered to attend), plus mileage ($0.10 per mile, round trip). If you have a date conflict you should contact our Witness Coordinator, Jody Strang, immediately to discuss your conflict.
Can I talk to Mr. Lloyd? I think he's the person who is working on my case since his name appears on my court documents.
Mr. Lloyd is the elected Eaton County Prosecuting Attorney, so his name appears on most criminal court documents, and our office correspondence. However, he may not be personally handling the case in court. Please call our office to talk with the Prosecutor handling your case, or to arrange a meeting. If you still have questions or concerns, you may request an appointment with Mr. Lloyd.
How do I get a court-appointed attorney?
The Prosecutor plays no role in whether you get a court-appointed attorney. You must ask the judge handling your case (generally at your arraignment). The judge will decide whether you are "indigent" (i.e., cannot afford to hire a lawyer) based on your income, assets and financial obligations, as well as the seriousness of the charge. For many misdemeanor cases, the judge will let you conduct a pre-trial conference on your own; if the case is not resolved to your liking at that meeting, you can apply for a court appointed attorney. A court appointed attorney is not necessarily a "free" lawyer. The judge may still order you to repay the County for your attorney's bill.
I am a defendant and I don't like the attorney who is representing me. Can I talk to Mr. Lloyd or one of the Assistant Prosecutors about my case?
No. All attorneys are governed by a State Bar of Michigan's Rules of Professional Conduct, which prevent them from speaking directly to anyone who is already represented by an attorney on the same matter. As long as you are represented by an attorney, we may speak only to your attorney. Any questions that you have about your case should be answered by your attorney. If you continue to be dissatisfied with your court-appointed attorney, you will have to contact the judge assigned to your case.
Why are some cases plea bargained?
There are not enough prosecutors, judges, courtrooms, or trial days on the calendar to put all the thousands of cases every year in Eaton County before a jury. For those defendants taken to trial, or for those who plead guilty before a trial, there are not enough jail cells in the state to hold them. These practical demands, plus the defendant's speedy trial rights, the seriousness of the cases, the strengths or weaknesses of cases, the victim's wishes, public safety, punishment, rehabilitation, and deterrence are all interests that are considered by the Prosecutor when deciding how to proceed. A plea agreement is always designed to balance these competing interests. Most cases are resolved in a relatively short time by the defendant's plea --- many times a plea to the charged offense.
What if I have a question which is not answered in your FAQs?
Call or visit our office. Each work day, an attorney is assigned to answer such questions. However, the Eaton County Prosecuting Attorney's Office is not a "free legal clinic". We cannot give legal advice on private legal issues.

A personal trainer every hour of the day, on your wrist!
If you want your New Year's resolution of being a healthier, fitter you to continue right through the year, this nifty little device might just help give you the extra encouragement you need! The activity tracker from Polar can be your answer to a full-time personal trainer.
It's technology keeps track of your activity all day long, breaking it down into five different intensity levels – resting, sitting, low, medium and high activity. For many of us office jobs mean remaining seated for a large chunk of the day – not the best of things for your health. To combat this the Loop can be used to send reminders to your phone of when you've been inactive for a while. Just the encouragement we need to get moving!
It's low, medium and high activity levels allow the Loop to distinguish between a stroll, jogging and sprinting, making it really efficient in keeping track of your calorie burning. It's also completely waterproof, so if you're a swimmer you can monitor the power of your strokes.
Setting daily goals can make it easier to keep you're fitness on track. If you input these goals into your Loop it can send you reminders of what more needs to be done to smash those targets. You can even break down goals for different paces of exercise – 60 minutes walking, 20 minutes running and so on.
Keep you're activity tracker on even when you want to switch off and see if it's restful or restless sleep you're getting each night. If you want to go that extra mile in listening to what your body is telling you try attaching the Polar H7 heart rate monitor to your chest.
You can easily review your weekly or monthly progress by linking your device to the Polar Flow app or website. Take your pick from the three pretty shades: Misty Blue, Blackcurrant and Smoky Black.

Release Details
WASHINGTON, D.C. – To help prevent deaths and injuries to children, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has approved a new federal mandatory standard to improve the safety of hand-held infant carriers. The Commission voted unanimously (4 to 0) on November 22, 2013.
The new federal standard incorporates by reference the voluntary standard (ASTM F2050-13a), Standard Consumer Safety Specification for Hand-Held Infant Carriers, with one modification that clarifies that semi-rigid hand-held bassinet/cradles, such as Moses Baskets, are within the scope of the standard.
A hand-held infant carrier is a freestanding, rigid or semi-rigid-sided product intended to carry an occupant whose torso is completely supported by the product to facilitate transportation by a caregiver by means of hand-holds or handles. Most hand-held infant carriers also serve as child restraint systems (car seats) for automotive use and are regulated by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Products that fall within the hand-held infant carrier standard include hand-held infant carrier seats (child restraint system for vehicles) and hand-held bassinet/cradles (including Moses baskets).
CPSC has received a total of 43 fatalities from 2007 through June of 2013. In addition CPSC estimates there were about 66,000 hospital emergency room-treated injuries between 2007 and 2013 related to hand-held infant carriers. The majority of the injuries occurred from falls.
The effective date for the mandatory hand-held infant carrier standard is six months after the final rule is published in the Federal Register.
The Commission is required under The Danny Keysar Child Product Safety Notification Act, Section 104(b) of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA), to issue consumer product safety standards for durable infant or toddler products. To date, the Commission has approved federal safety standards for full-size cribs, non-full-size cribs, play yards, baby walkers, baby bath seats, children's portable bed rails, toddler beds, infant swings, bassinets and cradles.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risks of injury or death associated with the use of thousands of types of consumer products under the agency's jurisdiction. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product incidents cost the nation more than $1 trillion annually. CPSC is committed to protecting consumers and families from products that pose a fire, electrical, chemical or mechanical hazard. CPSC's work to help ensure the safety of consumer products - such as toys, cribs, power tools, cigarette lighters and household chemicals -– contributed to a decline in the rate of deaths and injuries associated with consumer products over the past 40 years.
Federal law bars any person from selling products subject to a publicly-announced voluntary recall by a manufacturer or a mandatory recall ordered by the Commission.
To report a dangerous product or a product-related injury go online to www.SaferProducts.gov or call CPSC's Hotline at 800-638-2772 or teletypewriter at 301-595-7054 for the hearing impaired. Consumers can obtain news release and recall information at www.cpsc.gov, on Twitter @USCPSC or by subscribing to CPSC's free e-mail newsletters.

Impostor Syndrome: Part 3 of 4Dec. 31st, 2012 02:41 pm
Self-DeportationWhen a department admits students from "minority groups" but doesn't do anything to address impostor syndrome, how different is that from categorically rejecting everyone who isn't a het cis able-bodied white man from an middle- to upper-class background? This way, the administration gets to boost their diversity numbers and gets plausible deniability when those students (as it were) "self-deport". "We tried to admit women and students of color, but they just didn't like it here! They must just not be interested in science." As if interests are developed in social isolation and don't depend on a network of social support telling you -- implicitly, usually -- that you belong. It's not as if everyone who's in a minority group experiences impostor syndrome, but the experience of someone who gets treated like they belong and someone who doesn't is so different that I don't think it's too strong to say "you might as well just reject everyone". I also don't mean to say that diversity decisions always get made in bad faith, but I've had some personal experiences that make it difficult for me to believe that there is any genuine institutional commitment to diversity at the universities I've attended.
In my experience, it seems that being told you're welcome and that you belong is sort of like water if you're a fish: when you have it, you don't notice it. It's only when these things are absent that you do notice. I blamed myself for their absence, because that's what I've always been taught to do. I attributed my failure at Berkeley to my own incompetence, and it didn't occur to me until years later to think about how my environment contributed to my failure to thrive there. I got ignored. The other grad students in my group and cohort socialized with each other; I just got left out. Since I was being perceived as female at the time, I think this had something to do with the fact that I was perceived as not a peer (because I wasn't male) and not sexually available (since I was married) -- therefore, to most of my fellow students, I was useless.
I can point to a few incidents that that reinforce this. I went to lunch with my officemates and one of them (not a grad student, but a research programmer who worked for my advisor), said, "I hope your husband doesn't mind that I'm taking you out to lunch." Ten years later, I still remember that. I'm sure he wouldn't have said to a grad student who he perceived as male who was married, "I hope your wife doesn't mind that I'm taking you out to lunch." But there you have it -- my difference had to be pointed out at any possible occasion. During a research group retreat, I'd been planning to share a hotel room with another one of my officemates, a guy -- we were both fine with it, and during the previous year's retreat, we had shared with no problems -- and then one of the professors in my group interfered and insisted that I have my own room, despite my protests. Another time, one of my officemates mentioned they'd been playing video games at someone's house, but didn't invite me because they'd assumed I wouldn't be interested in killing things. Each of these incidents would have meant very little on its own, but like all microaggressions, they have a cumulative effect. When people point out that you're different all the time, you start to believe it. And I doubt that coming out as genderqueer (which was what I identified as at the time, basically only in LiveJournal posts, though) would have helped. The one time when I tried to explain to someone during coffee hour that I didn't see myself as male or female, I just got blank stares.
Being cut off from everyone else contributed to my impostor syndrome. I'd go to talks and think I was the only one who didn't understand them, because people didn't usually talk to me, so I never got a chance to develop friendships with other grad students that would give me a chance to find out that not everyone else understood, either. Because of my lack of meaningful relationships with other grad students, I didn't pick up on tacit knowledge, like "it's actually worthwhile to study for the prelim" -- I actually had no idea about that, and wouldn't have asked a professor since that would seem disrespectful. When you're a social outcast, you only get to see other people's public faces -- you never get to see how much doubt and fear everyone hides behind their veneer of confidence. Especially for CS dudes, that veneer of confidence is often overconfidence, which makes it even worse if you're comparing yourself to others and you assume that the overconfidence reflects genuine competence. But it's harder for some people to form the relationships that -- among other things -- engender inside knowledge about what's behind the mask. The reasons why some people can get entry into friendship networks and others can't are political.
It's possible that I also isolated myself, to some extent. Not that I necessarily had a choice about it. For me, there was a feedback loop between difficulties with work and social isolation. If my project wasn't going well, I would feel ashamed of that and avoid my advisor, officemates, other students, and so on. Being isolated made me feel worse, which made it harder to focus on work. People who weren't afraid of being unmasked as an impostor would, presumably, go to other people for support when work was going badly, either to talk through their ideas or just to vent. But I was always afraid to admit that anything was hard for me.
I was extra-isolated because of my gender variance. You might have been asking at this point: didn't Berkeley have a group for women in computer science? Indeed, they did. But when I went to those group meetings, I felt like I didn't belong because I wasn't a femme cis woman and didn't talk about weddings and babies. I wasn't welcome in this male-dominated department because I was perceived as non-male, but I also didn't feel like I belonged when i went into the one space that I thought was for people like me, either.
One time, in comments on someone's LiveJournal post, a guy told me that if I felt isolated at Berkeley, then something must be wrong with me. At the time, I believed him. I honestly believed that with all of the intellectual resources at Berkeley, it was my fault for not taking advantage of them. For me, that's one of the lasting consequences of impostor syndrome: feeling guilty about "missing" or "wasting" opportunities that my anxiety stopped me from using. There's also feeling like I'm self-absorbed because what was basically about my worries about how other people saw me stopped me from doing productive work and playing well with others. That feeling of guilt just creates a feedback loop with the impostor syndrome itself -- reinforcing that I'm not like those other people who are good at doing things and don't let the guilt and anxiety stop them.
Revenge of the Nerds?The stereotypical geek story is that of a white cis boy who's smart, wears glasses, gets bullied in school for being skinny and weak and interested in math and science, but makes good by going to college, studying hard, and eventually making a lot of money and achieving higher social status than his former bullies (who are probably working at a gas station for the rest of their lives or something). I'm not sure how often it really happens this way. But geeks, especially male geeks, certainly talk a lot about rejecting hierarchies that are based on physical prowess, athleticism, beauty, putting effort into one's appearance, and other traits that they deem to be shallow and below them.
So instead... they adopt a hierarchy that's based on how "smart" you are, or can convince others you are, but that otherwise shares many of the same oppressive characteristics as any other social hierarchy. Is this better? Many geeks would say yes, because smart people are better than strong or pretty people -- I guess? So isn't the real answer they're giving "yes, because I'm smart but I'm not strong"? How is that an improvement? Why don't we try to tear down hierarchies of dominance rather than replacing one oppressive social order with another?
Of course, it's not like only geeks value intelligence. People outside the ivory tower consider "stupid" an insult, too. In whose interests is it to keep middle-class people anxious about how smart they are? While impostor syndrome seems to apply mainly to people coming from minority groups and trying to become socially, professionally, and/or intellectually mobile, it's not solely confined to people in minority groups. Moreover, the over-valuation of being "smart" or "intelligent" in some singular way is widespread within the middle class; it seems to be shared by people who don't suffer from impostor syndrome as such. Perhaps it's just my personal biases, but the overwhelming pressure to show that one is "smart" in order to be accepted seems particularly strong in groups of people who do science, technology, math, and engineering. Some people in these groups even describe themselves as "sapiosexual": finding intelligence attractive (though I'm sure that for many of these people, many of whom are heterosexual men, intelligence is even more attractive when it's in a thin, conventionally attractive, cissexual, female package).
In a world that doesn't offer a whole lot else for me to value myself by -- I'm not a cis man, not thin or strong or athletic, not conventionally attractive, not wealthy -- I have spent a lot of time trying to prove -- to myself and others -- that I'm smart. I've played this game and not realized it was stacked against me. In college, I belonged to a group of friends that chalked "we're smarter than you are!" on a wall in an underground tunnel on campus. (Some of these people are still close friends to me, but hopefully we've all grown and changed since then.) At the time, I didn't see any problem with that. In fact, anytime anyone talked about things like not using "stupid" as an insult, I felt afraid and hostile -- if you took the one thing away from me ("smartness") that I thought I could use as an advantage in the social ladder, what would I have left? (Well, being white, but I wasn't very aware of that at the time either.)
To me, dividing people into "smart" and "stupid" is just another of example of the dualistic thinking that seems so popular among my peers. Like how the NRA divides people into "good people" and "bad people" so they can feel sure they'll never use their guns to hurt somebody (who didn't have it coming), the "smart"/"stupid" binary at least appears to lend confidence that you, yourself are on the right side of it. And if which one you are gets determined at birth, all the effort in the world makes no difference. So is it any wonder so many people don't want to put in the effort to be either good or smart, except when there's an external reward? Classes that people get sorted into at birth and are believed to be immutable seem to be quite useful for maintaining exploitive social hierarchies.
I think that in a society with increasingly unequal distribution of wealth, feelings of being smarter or more intelligent than others give middle-class people something to value in themselves so that they're less likely to question the wealth and power held by upper-class people. When comparing what you have to what the 1% has, it might be comforting to say to yourself, "At least I'm not one of those stupid people who walks around Wal-Mart drinking a big soda." And if you feel the need to prove how smart you are all the time, maybe you'll work more hours at your software engineering job, because it's not enough just to be good -- you have to be better than somebody else. Never mind that someone who doesn't work as hard as you may be reaping most of the benefit from your effort, never mind that as much power as you feel your ability to write code gives you, you're probably just "doing the bullies' homework" (to borrow Leonard Pierce's phrase). The warm, fuzzy feeling of being smarter than somebody else makes up for it, right?
The expectation -- seen in startups as well as in tenure-track faculty jobs -- of working long hours seems part of this phenomenon too. The evidence shows that people don't actually produce more work when they work longer hours, but maybe it's not really about productivity. Working long hours "proves your commitment" and thus increases your social status, whether or not there's any concrete improvement in outcomes. Of course, you don't actually have to work long hours for this to succeed -- you just have to get people to believe you do. Regardless, if our focus was cooperation rather than competition for resources believed to be scarce, we could just have fun doing great stuff and relax. As much as some people talk about a "post-scarcity economy", without addressing fundamental inequalities, the surpluses are just going to keep going to the wealthy.

Wolf Creek Pass area, Divide Ranger District. Wolf Creek Pass has received 453" of snow this winter. Photo taken by Mike Blakeman.
The 1.83 million acre Rio Grande National Forest is located in southcentral Colorado and remains one of the true undiscovered jewels of Colorado. The Rio Grande begins its 1800 mile journey to the Gulf of Mexico high up in the San Juan Mountains in the western most part of the Forest. The Continental Divide runs for 236 miles along most of the western border of the Forest and the jagged tops of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains form the eastern border. In between these two mountain ranges sits the San Luis Valley which is a large agricultural alpine valley. The Forest is composed of a myriad of ecosystems ranging from high elevation desert at 7600 feet above sea level to rocky crags at over 14,300 feet in the majestic Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Portions of four Wilderness Areas (South San Juan, Weminuche, La Garita and Sangre de Cristo) make up almost ¼ of the Forest.
The Rio Grande National Forest is located about four hours south of Denver and four hours north of Albuquerque. U.S. Highway 285 provides access from the north and south, while U.S. Highway 160 provides access from the east and west.
Spring: The mountains are still covered with a deep blanket of snow, while the south facing slopes of the foothills often begin to dry out in early April. Temperatures vary widely with the lows usually below freezing and the days are often windy with gusts reaching 30 mph or more.
Summer: The high elevations may hold large snow fields on north facing slopes well into July. July is also when the alpine wildflowers begin to bloom, generally peaking during the second half of the month. Temperatures may often reach well into the 80s in the lower elevations, but often peak out in the mid-70s above tree line. Monsoonal flows will often develop in July and bring afternoon thunderstorms to the mountains until late August.
Autumn: The first aspen begin to turn gold in early September, but generally the colors don't peak until late in the third week of September in the Creede area and then a week or two later on the rest of the Forest. Every year is different and in some years, the fall can be quite mild with temperatures reaching the 70s during the day all the way into early October. Once the first heavy snow falls on the mountains (sometimes in October), the temperatures can bottom out in the single digits at night.
Winter: The San Juan Mountains in particular are famous for their deep snows. Wolf Creek Ski Area averages over 460 inches of snow a year. The light powder that often falls in December and January attracts skiers and snowboarders from around the world. Temperatures can be extremely cold in the San Luis Valley generally dropping below zero every clear night from mid-December to mid-February. The mountains actually tend to be a bit warmer than the Valley and day time temperatures will often hit the 20s, but feel much warmer than that on sunny days.

ROME, Ga. – Morningside (Iowa) senior wide receiver Kyle Schuck has been named the 2013 Rawlings-NAIA National Football Player of the Year, announced Friday night as part of the NAIA Banquet of Champions held at The Forum in Rome, Ga.
"It is a great honor to receive this award considering all the other finalist that had great seasons," said Schuck. "I could not have achieved this award without the help of my team or my coaches. My teammates have become family to me and our accomplishments have achieved with be a forever memory."
A native of Cherokee, Iowa, Schuck becomes the first Morningside player to win the award and the fifth individual from a team that was, at the time, a member of the Great Plains Athletic Conference (GPAC). The other four GPAC winners played for Sioux Falls (S.D.) – Jon Ryan (2010), Lorenzo Brown (2009), Chad Cavender (2007) and Nick Kortan (2002).
One of only two wide receivers to win the NAIA's Player of the Year award, Schuck played a key role on a Morningside squad that won its third-consecutive outright GPAC championship and reached the semifinals of the 2013 NAIA Football Championship series for the second-straight season. The Mustangs, who were the national runner-up a season ago, were eliminated by Grand View (Iowa). Schuck has experience nothing but success since joining the Morningside program in 2010, as the Mustangs boast a 43-7 record, including a 25-2 mark when Schuck catches at least one touchdown pass, during his four years.
Schuck, who was also named to the 2013 American Football Coaches' Association All-America First Team, ended 2013 as one of the NAIA's most productive receivers. He led the NAIA with 1,419 total receiving yards, while ranking third in receiving yards per game (109.2), fourth in total scoring (126) and fifth in total receptions (75). Schuck eclipsed 100 yards receiving in six games this season, including a career-high 202 yards against Nebraska Wesleyan on Sept. 14. He finished his career with 3,008 receiving yards in 42 games, which ranks second on the Mustangs' all-time receiving yards list.
Schuck, who had a knack for finding the end zone throughout his career at Morningside, caught at least one touchdown in 11-of-13 games this season en route to a career-high 21 scores – his second-straight season with 20-plus touchdown receptions. Schuck boasts a program record 47 career touchdowns, with 41 coming the last two years.
Schuck is the second-straight winner from a team not participating in the Russell Athletic-NAIA National Championship and is the 14th different player to receive the Rawlings-NAIA Player of the Year honor since the award was established in 1997. Eddie Eviston of Georgetown (Ky.), who claimed three-straight awards from 1999 – 2001, and Tyler Emmert of Carroll (Mont.) are the only repeat winners. Emmert received the honor in 2003 and 2005. Overall, there have been 15 offensive and two defensive players named to this exclusive club.
No. 1 Cumberlands (Ky.) takes on No. 2 Grand View (Iowa) in the 58th annual Russell Athletic-NAIA Football National Championship on Saturday. Kick off is scheduled for 4:34 EST at Barron Stadium, which is hosting the event for the sixth-straight season. The game will also be broadcast live on www.ESPN3.com.

SHAKER VILLAGE OF PLEASANT HILL 50th Anniversary of the Restoration
Photographs and Text by David Toczko and Foreword by Ashley Judd
Shaker Village: 50th Anniversary of the Restoration is an incredible photographic tribute by David Toczko to the 50th Anniversary of one of Kentucky's restored historic treasures. Within the nearly 200 glossy pages of this full-color commemorative book, one can take a pictorial walking tour of the Village, beginning at the western edge of the property and moving eastward with the photos taken over a four-year period during every season and nearly every time of day. Informative text was obtained from Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill and its knowledgeable interpreters. More than 260 stunning color images showcase the historic structures, lifestyle, architecture, culture and scenic beauty of Shaker Village. This large 9" x 12" hardback coffee-table volume will be a lasting testament to the Shaker craftsmanship.
Two hundred years ago, a small group of devotees stood on a hilltop in the rolling Bluegrass section of Kentucky and envisioned heaven on earth, later to be known as Pleasant Hill. Those dreams turned reality grew to more than 500 adult members and 300 structures at its pinnacle in the 19th century. After the Shakers were gone, the buildings and property passed into private hands and changed ownership many times over the next 37 years. Some buildings disappeared, and others fell into varying states of decay and disuse.
Fifty years ago, in 1961, another small group of visionaries led by Earl D. Wallace stood on that same hill and saw not only the grandeur, historical and cultural value that had been, but what may be once again. Thus was born Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill and the acquisition, restorations and preservation of the community began.
David is a juried member of the Visual Arts at the Market of the Kentucky Arts Council, an Official Kentucky Derby Archive Team Photographer, a Louisville Ballet Archive Photographer, and a member of the Professional Photographers of America. His works have appeared in both national and international magazines and catalogs, including the Shaker Workshops Catalogs, and as part of the Kentucky Derby: 133 Review. His photographs are exhibited in galleries and shows throughout Kentucky, and have been selected to appear at the Kentucky State Capitol Rotunda, the Senate Offices of the Kentucky State Capitol Annex, and the Kentucky First Lady's Office.
