text: Atlantic 10 Conference, IMG College Form Partnership Aug 23, 2013 NEWPORT NEWS, Va.—The Atlantic 10 Conference has entered into a comprehensive multimedia rights agreement with IMG College, the two entities announced Thursday. The deal covers the league's digital platforms, sponsorship rights to the league's 21 championships, corporate sponsorships, at-event promotions, licensing and publications. The nation's top collegiate multimedia, licensing and branding company, IMG College represents over 200 properties, including the most prestigious and athletically successful institutions in Division I. IMG College will use its experience and resources to develop the Atlantic 10's sponsorship opportunities, both at the corporate partner level and at conference championships, including the Men's Basketball Championship at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y., and the A-10 Women's Basketball Championship. The partnership will also secure sponsorship for the league's digital assets, including the conference's live streamed events and the league website. "Partnering with IMG College is an important step for the Atlantic 10. The opportunity to develop a comprehensive multimedia rights platform taking advantage of the large media markets which make up the A-10, will enhance the exposure and brand recognition for the assets of the conference and our member institutions," stated Commissioner Bernadette V. McGlade. "Nationally and internationally, IMG knows this marketplace, and I am excited to work with their team." Over the last several years the Atlantic 10 Conference has strategically focused its energies on its strength as a basketball-centric league, and has been recognized nationally as one of the best basketball leagues in Division I. As a result, the conference is coming off the most successful two-year period in league history, with a record nine teams earning berths to the postseason in 2013, six of which return for the 2013-14 season. The conference also has had 17 postseason appearances in the last two years. At least one A-10 team has advanced to the NCAA Sweet 16 for six straight years and 12 of its 13 members have earned a postseason bid since 2010. Through its licensing affiliate, The Collegiate Licensing Company, LLC (CLC), IMG College will also serve as trademark licensing agent for the Conference. IMG has also extended a previous agreement to publish the championship programs for the men's and women's basketball championships. "IMG College is thrilled to partner with the Atlantic 10 Conference, and to pursue the many opportunities this relationship provides," said Hunter Nickell, SVP of Partnership Management and Business Development at IMG College. "We are particularly excited about the A-10 Basketball Championship in Brooklyn, as well as the opportunity to work within all of the markets relevant to the A-10. Securing the title sponsorship of a major college basketball championship at the beautiful Barclays Center is a great opportunity to support the Conference, its member institutions and draw continued interest in the A-10 and college basketball." The agreement is structured to enhance national support and brand recognition of the Conference. As part of this strategy, IMG College, in conjunction with the A-10 will hire a general manager and other staff to facilitate the partnership that encompasses the league's wide media footprint. Atlantic 10 institutions reside in markets that comprise 32 million television viewers, 28 percent of the total national market. There are seven A-10 schools in the top 25 media markets in the country. About the A-10 The Atlantic 10 Conference was formed in 1976.

The Jim Henson Company and Chick-fil-A battle is raging on.
Just one day after the Jim Henson Co. announced that it did " not wish to partner with them on any future endeavors" due to Chick-fil-A CEO Dan Cathy's admission that he was "guilty as charged" when it comes to his Christian stance on the definition of marriage, the fast-food company announced a "voluntary recall" of all Jim Henson Creature Shop Puppet Kids Meal toys.
A Chick-fil-A spokesperson to Business Insider, "Chick-fil-A voluntarily withdrew the Jim Henson kids meal toys nationwide because of a potential safety concern. This is unrelated to the Jim Henson announcement."
The recall sign (emphasis is our own) reads:
"We apologize for any inconvenience but as of 7/19/2012 Chick-fil-A has voluntarily recalled all of the Jim Henson's Creature Shop Puppet Kids Meal toys due to a possible safety issue. Please be advised that there have not been any cases in which a child has actually been injured, however there have been some reports of children getting their fingers stuck in the holes of the puppets. We are offering a substitution of a complimentary kids Icedream cone in its place until a replacement toy is available. Thank you."
The picture is at the top of Reddit under the heading, "Apparently Chick-Fil-A thinks lying is a Christian value."
A Florida location confirmed that they had been asked to pull all of the toys from the stores.
"Apparently they got three calls about hey, there's a complaint that kids are getting their fingers stuck in a hole in the toys," an employee explained. "We are erring on the side of being extra, extra cautious."
Although Chick-fil-A is not asking parents to return the toy.

The Bright Side of a Very Bad Trip
But it hasn't even remotely played out that way. The roadtrip finished up 3-7, but has felt longer and more miserable than even that record would suggest.
And yet...
(For those of you who hate it when we go into apologist mode, you might want to skip ahead to the comments, where you can begin castigating us for our weak-kneed sycophancy.)
The Jays weren't that far off from coming home with an even 5-5 mark, if Bob Davidson's awful extra inning call doesn't go against them, and if they buckle down against the Mariners when they held their comfortable lead. Obviously, there's no spot in a team's record for hypotheticals, so this is all so much blather. And we'll cop to that.
Still, a team is going to have rough road trips in the run of a season, and given that this one saw them travel to the West Coast and back and facing a tough Red Sox team that was highly motivated to pull their bloated carcass off the mat, we can almost swallow the seven loses.
Mind you, the team is going to have some issues to address, most notably a free-swinging offense that mustered up a grand total of three runs in the past three outings, and ran into outs (which we know some of you scrappy-doodle-dandies love, but it makes us nauseous. On the other side of the ball, there's a starting staff that pitches around the opposition, racking up strikeouts (yay!), high pitch counts (boo!) and early exits that tax the bullpen to the point where reinforcements need to be called in to bail out a 12-man staff (double boo!)
But aside from that...All's well!
One-Two Gut Punch of Outrageous Fortune
We hate to play the game of figuring out what is going on in the mind of the players. Still, we wonder if the meltdown against the Mariners and the blown call against the Angels didn't take some of the spring out of their step. (By the end of today's 9-1 drubbing, it was hard to pick out Juan Rivera from the pack of lifeless zombies shifting their weight around the dugout.)
Up Next - The Evil Empire
Because there's nothing quite like Mr. Steinbrenner's crazy collection of superstars coming to town to help a team out of their funk, the Jays get two games against the Bronx Bombers starting tomorrow.
But a win featuring a fine performance by Kyle Drabek and a manhandling of A.J. Burnett? That might just salve over the wounds of a lousy week.

Funny how some Jays fan are going balistic over the road trip. This is still the same team that will finish around .500, and most likely take a step back in total wins from last year.
Its not like the team was predicted as winning the world series with what possibly looked like the best hitting lineup in the franchises history.

I mean, Lind is done, right? He hasn't had an extra-base hit in forever, and has sucked his last six games. I'm catching them mostly on the radio, so someone give me a reason to think he's not finished at age (whatever he is).

Marvin E. Baldwin
Gerard Samolyk
Presented at the 100th Annual Meeting of the AAVSO, October 5, 2011; received January 23, 2012; accepted January 23, 2012
The beginning of eclipsing binary minima timings by visual observers in North America is described, and the history of the AAVSO's Eclipsing Binary Committee during the era of visual observation is outlined, with particular attention to the observational programs, the production of charts and ephemerides, and the reduction and publication of the minima timings. During the period 1965–2005, AAVSO observers timed more than 17,000 minima, determined periods and light-curve types for neglected and newly discovered eclipsing binaries, and improved the light elements and corrected erroneous periods for many more.

AGC reacts to steel shortage
The Board of Directors of the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC) recently adopted a resolution to seek "equitable adjustment of fixed-price contracts" to compensate contractors for the recent rise in steel prices. The organization says the crisis may result in job losses, bankruptcies, and public hazards.
Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) administrator Mary Peters told AGC that FHWA would allow states to include steel-price adjustment clauses in construction contracts for federal-aid highway projects.
Stephen E. Sandherr, ACG chief executive officer, urges others to follow in FHWA's footsteps. "We hope other federal agencies, state and local entities, and private owners will take note and act appropriately," Sandherr says. "Many contractors are already facing severe financial problems because of the enormous increases in steel prices and delays in deliveries that are jeopardizing completion of major projects."

NECA opposes the use of the IRC
The National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA) has submitted three code-change proposals to the New York Division of Code Enforcement and Administration, recommending that New York's building codes use the current National Electric Code (NEC) and delete all chapters of the International Residential Code (IRC). The proposals were made on behalf of The Electrical Coalition.
Brook Stauffer, executive director of standards and safety for NECA, says the IRC has serious problems. "The NEC is our nation's wiring rules, and probably the world's most widely-used safety document," she says. "Meanwhile, the IRC is an incomplete, non-consensus publication written by an association of non-electrical building officials."
NECA points out that the IRC doesn't have wiring rules for common residential electrical equipment like air conditioners, electric heat, and communications wiring. The group says that using the IRC will cause confusion and construction delays, since the majority of workers on building projects are trained and familiar with the NEC.

NFPA consolidates meetings
Beginning in 2005, The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) will combine its two annual meetings into one conference. At the organization's regular meeting this month, the board of directors voted to combine the Fall Educational Conference with the World Safety Conference and Exposition (WSCE), also known as the "annual meeting."
The association made the decision after members started raising concerns about attending two conferences, given demanding work and family schedules. The NFPA also voted to move the annual meeting month from May to June for more flexibility in scheduling sites and to allow for more review time for the codes and standards-making process.
However, this year's conferences will remain separate events. The WSCE will take place May 23-26 in Salt Lake City and the Fall Educational Conference will be held November 13-17 in Miami Beach.

NALMCO publishes new lighting guide
The International Association of Lighting Management Companies (NALMCO) is offering a new lighting guide published by the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America titled, "IESNA/NALMCO Recommended Practice for Planned Indoor Lighting Maintenance." The 34-page publication is geared toward lighting designers, architects, and other construction and building operation professionals.
The guide includes the results of a three-year study that suggests the amount of dust and dirt on popular lighting fixtures has been overestimated, resulting in spaces being over-lit to compensate for light loss. The study concludes that existing buildings can reduce light output and new buildings can install fewer light fixtures to cut costs and save energy.
Readers will also find information on maintenance methods, materials to reduce labor costs, lamp and ballast disposal, procedures, how to use maintenance support energy management strategies, and a troubleshooting guide in the publication.
To order a copy of the guide, visit the NALMCO Web site.

Super Vision issues $10.5 million lawsuit against competition
Super Vision International, a Florida-based manufacturer of fiber optic and LED lighting, has filed a lawsuit in excess of $10.5 million against Color Kinetics, Boston. The company is seeking royalties and damages, claiming that Color Kinetics violated U.S. Patent #4,963,687 on "variable color lighting systems."
Inventor Richard Beliveau originally developed the patent for High End Systems. Super Vision then obtained the patent from the company, stating that it was a necessary step in the continuation of the development of its color-changing LEDs. The patent covers the use of networked, centrally controlled, addressable color-changing lighting systems that incorporate pulse width modulation and variable digital control circuitry that can vary the intensity of individual lamp elements to generate unlimited colors.
Color Kinetics denies the merit of the lawsuit, saying Super Vision's allegation of infringement is based on an incandescent lighting patent that is unrelated to LED-based lighting systems. In addition, Color Kinetics filed litigation in June 2002, claiming Super Vision infringed numerous Color Kinetics patents.

Caution Urged on Lakes and Bays during Busy 4th of July Holiday
AUSTIN — State Game Wardens are urging boaters to take extra care as thousands take to the state's lakes and bays over the busy Independence Day holiday.
"Typically, we see more accidents on the three big summer holidays — Memorial Day, 4th of July and Labor Day weekends," said Lt. Cody Jones, of the Marine Enforcement Section for the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. "There are more people on the water and it's usually a party atmosphere. For some folks, these holidays are the only time they go out on the water all year."
Alcohol is believed to be a factor in about one-third of all boating fatalities in Texas. Of victims who drowned in boating accidents nationwide, approximately 85 percent were not wearing lifejackets. Penalties for Boating While Intoxicated (BWI) are similar to those for Driving While Intoxicated and can include suspension of the boat operator's automobile driver's license.
Six boating deaths in Texas in 2011 were alcohol-related and game wardens are stressing a zero tolerance for boating while intoxicated, underscored by the 66 BWI cases filed during last year's 4th of July holiday. Jones said game warden saturation patrols will be in full force and are hoping to catch boaters making good choices.
"There are two things people can do that will really improve their chances of coming home safe," said Jones. "First, designate a driver for the boat and for a safe ride home. It's neither safe nor socially acceptable to drive drunk in a car or a truck, and the same holds true for boats. Second, wear a lifejacket."
State law requires that a personal flotation device be available for each occupant of a boat, but only those under 13 years of age are mandated by the law to wear one while the boat or paddle craft is underway or drifting.
"The numbers speak for themselves," Jones continued. "Wear a life jacket and your chances of surviving a life threatening event on the water increases 10 fold."
While the life jacket requirement is not new, the last session of the legislature did make it mandatory that all persons born on or after Sept. 1, 1993 obtain a boater education certificate before they can legally operate a vessel with a rating of more than 15 horsepower. Anyone supervising the operation of a vessel by another must be exempt from the boater ed requirement (born before 1993) or have a boater ed certificate.
The online boaters' safety course is offered through www.boat-ed.com/tx/ for $20. Boaters with the online course certificate may receive a discounted rate from their boating insurance provider.

In recent years, I've traveled throughout the country to give lectures. Almost everywhere, I've met people who question whether their actions really matter. They wonder whether it's worthwhile to keep making the effort.
Yet history is replete with examples where ordinary people have an unexpected impact, or transform situations seemingly impossible to change. A Wesleyan University student I met got inspired by an environmental conference. With a few friends, she registered nearly 300 fellow students concerned about environmental threats and cuts in government financial aid programs. The congressman they supported won by 21 votes. Before they began, the student and her friends feared that their modest registration campaign would be irrelevant.
In the early 1960s, a friend of mine named Lisa took two of her kids to a Washington, D.C., vigil to protest nuclear testing. The demonstration, in front of the White House, was small, a hundred women at most. Rain poured down. The women felt frustrated and powerless, and their kids were cranky. (Maybe you've participated in an event that made you feel this forlorn. I know I have.)
But a few years later, the movement against testing had grown dramatically, and Lisa attended a major march. Benjamin Spock, the famous baby doctor, spoke. He described how he'd come to take a stand, which because of his stature had already influenced thousands and would reach far more when he challenged the Vietnam War. Spock talked briefly about the issues, then mentioned that when he was in D.C. a few years earlier he saw a small group of women huddled with their kids, in the rain. "I thought that if those women were out there," he said, "their cause must be really important." Lisa realized he was talking about her group.
Similarly unexpected fruits bloomed during Czechoslovakia's dictatorship. Critics mocked the early human rights initiatives in particular, a petition to free jailed dissidents. They dismissed those, like Václav Havel, who circulated the petitions, calling them "exhibitionistic," mocking their efforts as futile, and saying they were just attempting "to draw attention to themselves."
In one sense, as Havel reflected three years before Czechoslovakia's 1989 "Velvet Revolution," he and the other petitioners failed completely. They didn't free a single political prisoner. But their campaign was worthwhile, even essential, in a more significant way. Upon release, the Czech dissidents said that the mere fact that others had taken up their cause had sustained them during their incarceration-an example of what Nelson Mandela calls the multiplication of courage. And those who signed the petition became the core of a broader movement. Their once seemingly hopeless actions would eventually topple a regime.

Research Finds Correlation between Political Connections, Federal Reserve Loans
January 2014
Huntsman School Press Release
Banks that have better political connections and invest money in lobbying are more likely to get emergency loans from the Federal Reserve System, according to research done by a Huntsman professor.
One might expect lobbyists and politically-connected companies to win favor in the nation's capital, but the Federal Reserve is a non-partisan entity, independent of political considerations. Ben Blau, an associate professor in the Finance and Economics Department, said he was surprised to discover the correlation when he did a study of 677 banks and their dealings with the Federal Reserve during the recent financial crisis.
"In theory there should not be any political incentive for the Federal Reserve to provide emergency relief to banks that are politically active or connected," he said.
His research found, however, that some 15 percent of the banks that got loans had politically-connected employees, compared to 1.5 percent of those who could boast no such advantage. Blau found those who borrowed from the Fed were five times as likely to spend money on lobbyists and ten times more likely to employ politically-connected individuals than banks that did not borrow from the Fed.
Blau said it's possible that if a bank is more politically-active, it is also more prone to seeking government help, and that may explain the correlation.
"I think the most compelling explanation for why this happened was politically-connected banks were buying what they perceive as synthetic insurance," he said, explaining they may have believed they would be able to fall back on emergency Federal loans in hard times.
"If political connections somehow represent perceived insurance to banks and they believe that if times get rough the government will provide them with some bailout, then they might be more open to engaging in financially risky behavior," he said. "And yet, often, it is that very mindset that leads a bank to getting in trouble and eventually seeking emergency loans."
Blau said he did a paper a few years ago with Huntsman professors Tyler Brough and Diana Thomas that established an even stronger correlation between banks that had connections and invested in lobbying efforts, and banks that got help from the Troubled Asset Relief Program or TARP. Blau said he expected, however, when it came to the Federal Reserve there would be no such correlation.
Blau's working paper is already posted on the website of the Mercatus Center at George Mason University. The research has sparked the interest of several national publications that have cited it or quoted him, including Bloomberg, American Banker and Politico.

Europe and Asia are the native origins of a plant from Urtica genus, more popularly known as Stinging Nettle, and has become available worldwide already. The plant was named as such because of the fine hairs observed on its leaves and stems that release some irritating reactions when it comes in contact with human skin. But the plant has been of huge help for centuries because it was used in herbal medicine, as reported by SF Gate.
Benefits of Nettle Tea
As this plant is used in herbal medicine, practitioners from many centuries ago have enumerated a number of health benefits of stinging nettle tea such as for relieving pain from arthritis, gout, anemia and urinary problems. Moreover, it has been a popular treatment for eczema, sore muscles and irritating insect bites.
Many people have been suffering from several forms of allergy from the simplest sign of itching and sneezing. These patients usually opt for taking over-the-counter prescription antihistamines which has negative side effects like seizures, drowsiness and dry mouth. They should know that nettle leaf tea for relief of allergies has been a great alternative for people with this kind of sensitivity as it has been used in a study conducted at the National College of Naturopathic Medicine. More than half of their participants reported to have lowered allergy symptoms, and the study was reported in Live Strong.
The Nettle Leaf
As stated in an article by the Herb Wisdom, Nettle leaf contains several beneficial compounds that are biologically active meaning it functions greatly in the human body. It includes flavonoids like quercetin that is known to have antioxidant properties that removes free radicals that can damage cellular membranes and DNA. Other components of the Nettle are beta-sitosterol that is good for the heart as it lowers the absorption of dietary fats in the blood stream. These compounds make organic nettle leaf tea benefits more healthy and good for consumers.
Manage Your Facial Skin
Aside from the health benefits mentioned above with regards to drinking nettle tea, it is also famous for reducing, managing and eliminating acne issues. If you are curious about how to make organic nettle tea recipe for acne, then you should know that a lot of women have reported to have more radiant brighter and acne-free skin after drinking nettle tea.
In the recipe, you need get dry leaves or pick some fresh ones (just don't touch the leaves directly as it could give you stinging sensation) from health food stores, buy some tincture, or pure leaf or root extracts of stinging nettle. Add a teaspoon or two of dried leaves in hot water and wait for 5 to 10 minutes before drinking it. It is advisable to add a few drops if you want to get as much extract from the leaves and root. This recipe was personally used by the blogger from Spa Finder. Just take note that nettle tea is not advisable for pregnant women and do consult your physician if you have other medications.

As monumental as the election of a new pope has always been and always will be for Catholics around the world, other (very) occasional events in the life of the church often have far more wide-reaching and long-lasting effects. The pontiff is, of course, the supreme figure in the church's hierarchy — but more than 260 men have held the title over the past two millennium, and only a relative handful of those figures have presided over historic changes in the ways Catholics worship and relate to both their local parishes and congregations and to the Holy See in Rome.
By contrast, for example, the Second Vatican Council (known colloquially as Vatican II) held at St. Peter's between 1962 and 1965 was more significant — in both its message and its spiritual and cultural ramifications — than any single act or pronouncement by any pope of the past few centuries. The twenty-first Ecumenical Council of the Catholic Church, and only the second ever held at Saint Peter's Basilica, Vatican II offered nothing less than an utterly new dialogue between the Roman Catholic Church and the modern world.

Opened in October 1962, when Pope John XXIII was pontiff, and lasting until December 1965, during the papacy of Pope Paul VI, Vatican II advanced both major and minor reforms to church doctrine and matters of faith, e.g., encouraging Catholics to pray with non-Catholic Christians; a new prominence (and power) for bishops within the church; the sanctioning of languages other than Latin during Mass, and more.
Here, on the eve of Pope John XXIII's canonization, LIFE.com recalls the historic, landmark Vatican II council with photographs by Hank Walker and Paul Schutzer.

Learn more about Tariffs
In February 2018, President Trump pledged to impose a 25% tariff on steel imports and a 10% tariff aluminum imports into the U.S. A tariff is a tax on imports or exports between countries. The proposed tariffs would increase the cost of aluminum and steel imports into the United States. In promoting the plan, Trump predicted that the tariffs would revive the U.S. steel and aluminum industries which were heavily concentrated in the industrial Midwest. Supporters of the tariffs argue that U.S. steel and aluminum manufacturers have been wiped out due to low-cost competition from foreign manufacturers. Supporters note that governments in countries like Japan and China provide subsidies to manufacturers. These subsidies, they argue, allow the manufacturers to then undercut the price of U.S. manufacturers. Supporters include Republicans and Democrats from the Midwest and unions who represent factory workers. Opponents argue that the tariffs will hurt U.S. based manufacturers who need aluminum and steel to produce their products. Manufacturers of cars, boats, beer, chemicals and oil pipelines stated that they would be forced to raise prices in order to absorb the higher costs imposed by the tariffs. See recent Tariffs news

Story highlights
- Federal appeals court blocks two portions of Alabama law
- That law is considered the toughest in the nation
- U.S. Supreme Court will decide on Arizona law
A federal appeals court in Atlanta on Thursday blocked two more portions of Alabama's tough law against illegal immigration.
The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals temporarily enjoined the enforcement of two provisions: One voiding contracts signed by those in the United States illegally and another that prohibits such persons from having transactions with the state for certain services, such as licenses.
The portion of the law that allows police to detain people who can't provide proof of legal status in the United States will remain in place.
Just last week the appeals court said it would not render an opinion on the challenges to laws against illegal immigration in Georgia and Alabama. The appeals court said it would let the Supreme Court first make a decision in a case regarding a similar law in Arizona.
Jennifer Ardis, a spokeswoman for Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley, told CNN Thursday that the governor will continue to tweak portions of the law dealing with contracts and business, but he does not support a total repeal of the law.
Andre Segura, a lawyer with the American Civil Liberties Union, hailed the appeals court's action.
"It is a big relief to the people of Alabama. These are two provisions that really struck at the heart of attempting to impact every aspect of an immigrant's life," Segura said.
In a statement, Alabama Attorney General Luther Strange said the appeals court's ruling that put the two provisions on hold "does not represent a final decision by the court."
"I strongly disagree with the 11th Circuit's decision today to temporarily enjoin two provisions of the immigration law that the District Court upheld," Strange said. "I will continue to vigorously defend Alabama's immigration law in the courts. I am hopeful that the Supreme Court's coming decision in the Arizona case will make clear that our law is constitutional."
Arizona's law, aimed at cracking down on illegal immigration, catapulted the issue onto the national stage in 2010, drawing a lawsuit from the U.S. Department of Justice, which argues the law is unconstitutional. Since then, several other states have passed similar measures.
Alabama's law, known as HB 56, would require police who make lawful traffic stops or arrests to try to determine the immigration status of anyone they suspect might be in the country illegally.
But recently, a federal appeals court at least temporarily blocked some provisions, including one requiring Alabama officials to check the immigration status of children in public schools.

"end: noun ... 2 a: cessation of a course of action, pursuit, or activity ... 4 b: the object by virtue of or for the sake of which an event takes place ..." -- Merriam Webster's Online Dictionary
Somehow, about three years ago, my sex life pretty much came to an end. Not by choice, exactly. It wasn't anything I'd planned. In fact, at the time, I didn't even realize it had happened. It wasn't as if I woke up one day and said, "I'm not going to have sex anymore." While in retrospect the end was abrupt, it did not seem so then. After all, you don't know it's your last time until much later, when you can look back and say, "Yeah, that was it. That was the last time I had sex."
You may wonder how I simply lost something that most people think is a really important part of life. The truth is that I can't isolate a single cause. Instead, my sex life fell victim to a series of small blows, most of which were inflicted, directly or indirectly, by HIV. To mix metaphors, it was more like a long siege than a knockout punch.
First, there were the physical changes. I've written before about my lipodystrophy (Lipo: A Trophy?). The loss of fat in my arms, legs, hands, and butt hasn't done anything to make me more attractive, and it's hard for me to feel sexually desirable when I have a condition that makes me so self-conscious about my appearance. An added complication is that HIV can lead to a decrease in libido, and I think I'm certainly suffering from that.
Second, after getting my diagnosis, I made a conscious decision to be more cautious about sex. It only made sense, because I had to make sure I didn't infect others, and I had to protect myself from sexually transmitted infections [STIs] that might stress my now-compromised immune system. Although this focus on all of the possible STIs I might get from a sexual encounter may be completely rational, it doesn't do a whole lot to get me in the mood.
Then there's the problem of disclosure. I won't have sex without revealing my serostatus. As hard as disclosing might sound in the abstract, it can actually be even harder in practice. I have to be willing to reveal my most personal secret to someone whom I may not be sure I can trust completely. That takes some courage, and frankly, I sometimes just don't have it. Even when I do, I know that disclosure may lead to rejection. Of course, I understand that rejection is often the consequence of disclosure. In fact, the very purpose of disclosure is to give your prospective partner the opportunity to reject you, but that doesn't ease the sting. And even if I don't get rejected, disclosure is, shall we say, a buzz killer. If you ever want to spoil a moment of budding passion, just try telling your prospective sex partner that you have a potentially fatal and infectious disease.
The result of all this is that I've had no sex life to speak of for quite some time now.
I wish I could say I don't miss it, but I do. For despite all the sex I've had over the years, I can still be awed by the beauty of the experience -- the enticing sight of another man's body as he undresses, the warmth of his skin on our first embrace, the firm feel of his muscles, the rough brush of whiskers against my cheek, and then the softness of his lips, the sharp intake of breath as he touches me just so, the frenetic heat of the act, followed by its languid afterglow. When sex is good, it is a joyous and exuberant riot of the senses. Who wouldn't miss that?
But it's not just the physical pleasure that I miss; it's the deeper function of sex. What we often overlook (and sometimes simply refuse to recognize) is that, fundamentally, sex is a form of intimacy. It is the coming together of two people for pleasure, for comfort, for companionship, and sometimes, for love. At its best, sex can be the physical expression of love, a means of communicating by action that most precious of human emotions. But even an anonymous sexual encounter is a moment of intimacy -- an instant, however brief, in which two individuals acknowledge their need for each other. To me, there is nothing more human than that.
Unfortunately, in America's puritanical culture, we tend to denigrate sex and ignore the fact that it can help us achieve intimacy. Rather than seeing it as an expression of our basic human need for connection, and honoring its role in helping us form and maintain intimate relationships, many view sex as something dirty. Sex is an act from which we are advised to abstain, and it's considered almost incompatible with virtue. Indeed, to some, there's an inverse relationship between a person's virtue and the frequency of his sexual encounters. Simply put, people who have lots of sex are seen as "loose" and lacking in morality. In contrast, we hold up as paragons of virtue those who abjure sex completely -- monks, nuns, and ascetics.
Personally, I dispute the whole notion that abstaining from sex is a mark of virtue. (I can assure you that these past three "sexless" years haven't made me a better person.) We humans are social animals, and we all need some kind of connection with others. Abstaining from sex doesn't make us better people; it just cuts us off from a vital part of our human nature. Besides, I think we can all agree that fostering closeness and connection between individuals is a good thing. And if attaining closeness and connection is our goal, then sex should be celebrated as a means to that end.
Our lives are enriched by all of our social relationships, but especially by our intimate ones. It's a mistake to deny the special role sex plays in forming and sustaining those relationships. Because when it comes right down to it, we spend so much of our lives just trying to achieve a little intimacy. And intimacy, to me, is the end of sex.

Rob Tapert Updates Us On Status of 30 Days of Night
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Sony, Horror, Thrillers, Filmmaking,
Filming has begun for the upcoming Ghost House Pictures flick 30 Days of Night. Ghost House has put up the ninth video blog, featuring executive producer Rob Tapert, which has been following the production of the graphic novel to film. Tapert gives a bit of info of what scene was shot and seems pretty excited with the results. I was rubbing my hands together deviously and grinning evilly at his description of the scene. The site also has some video from the director, David Slade, as well from the writer/creator of '30 Days' Steve Niles. 30 Days of Night is set in Barrow, Alaska, a town where, in the middle of winter, the sun sets and does not rise again for more than 30 days. When an evil force terrifies the town's residents, all hopes are pinned on the local sheriffs—a husband-and-wife team who must choose between saving themselves and helping the town survive the siege, which will last until daylight returns. Head on over to the Ghost House website and check out the video.

Tribe: Remove 'halfbreed' from Montana place names
HELENA, Mont. (AP) — The time has come to remove the words "halfbreed" and "breed" from the names of creeks, lakes and other places around Montana, according to leaders of the Little Shell Tribe of Chippewa Indians.
Nicholas Vrooman, who works with the tribe, presented a bill draft to that effect during a recent meeting with the State-Tribal Relations Legislative Committee. The words are racist terms that demean American Indians, he said.
"Using the terms is a way to really denigrate people; place them on lower rung of society," said Vrooman, who said the idea for the bill came out of work with tribal members on the Montana Indian Languages Preservation Pilot Program.
The bill would require state and other agencies to identify places with the terms and remove them from maps, signs and markers when age or vandalism calls for an update. It would also create a volunteer advisory group that would determine replacement names. Under the proposed bill, replacement names would come from the tribe's three traditional, historic languages: Chippewa, Cree and Michif.
Halfbreed Lake National Wildlife Refuge is one of 17 places throughout Montana with the word "halfbreed" or "breed" in the name, according to Vrooman's research.
Vrooman said he modeled the bill after one that passed through the Montana Legislature in 1999 to remove the word "squaw" from place names in the state.
That bill, introduced by former state legislator Carol Juneau of Browning, passed after going nowhere in a previous session. On Wednesday, Juneau said, 15 years later, just three of the 76 places with squaw in the name remain unchanged and those are pending.
"I thought it would be pretty darn simple," said Juneau, who is American Indian. "It's really a pretty long process to change a name."
The U.S. Board on Geographic Names is the interagency panel that approves all names on maps put out by federal agencies, including the U.S. Geological Survey, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the U.S. Forest Service. In 1963, it changed all geographic names containing the derogatory form of Negro, and in 1974 it changed all names containing the disparaging form of Japanese.
Juneau said she'd like the board to change all names that use the word squaw, which is seen as a derogatory term for an American Indian woman. Vrooman said he would like to see that for "halfbreed" and "breed" as well and plans to include it in legislation if possible.
Vrooman's next task involves finding a legislator to sponsor the bill and introduce it during the 2015 legislative session, which begins in January.
Rep. Nicholas Schwaderer, R-Superior, who sits on the State-Tribal Relations committee, said whether the bill is introduced by members of that committee or by another legislator, he thinks it will come up in January.
"I'm sure it will have interest," Schwaderer said. "I don't even feel comfortable saying some of these names."
Juneau said the name changes are good for Montana and that she supports the latest initiative.
" 'Halfbreed' and 'breed' is just really used in the same derogatory way 'squaw' was used to identify people," she said. "I think (the bill0) is a good idea, and I'm glad to see the Little Shell people taking this up."
The bill comes as the Washington Redskins continue to face a barrage of criticism for having a name that is seen as offensive to Native Americans.

Snake Mountain from the secret side
Snake Mountain has to be the most popular day-hike in Addison County. It's an easy walk, the views are unique and expansive, and it's only a short drive from anywhere else in our part of the Champlain Valley.
As such, I thought I'd never write about it. "Everybody already knows about Snake Mountain," I thought, "Why clutter the internet with redundant recommendations?"
Most people climb the ridge from the west side, on a well-established trail (parts of it are remnants of an old road to the Grand View Hotel on the summit) leading through upland hardwoods. It's beautiful, it's popular, but it's definitely not the only way up Snake Mountain.
Yesterday, my girlfriend and I, only slightly lost, stumbled upon a WMA access parking lot on Snake Mountain Road, on the EAST side of the mountain.
"EAST is only one letter away from EASY," I thought. "This should be quick."
My optimism was only strengthened by a "Summit" sign nailed to the beginning of the trail, as if we'd reached our goal merely by turning into the parking lot.
The climb begins steeply from the east side, and then flattens through two cleared fields. The woods started with juniper heavy with berries and hop hornbeam, then gave way to oak and beech higher up. Gray Squirrels chattered at us from their leafy nests.
The trail follows a series of terraced wetlands, thanks to especially determined beavers (what kind of beaver climbs the only mountain in ten miles to build a dam?). The ponds were topped with a thin skim of clear ice, and we watched for their engineers while chewing waxy wintergreen leaves from the bank.
The trail continues to follow a small stream before joining the west side trail at a prominent curve. The junction is preceded by another misleading "Summit" sign. After a few minutes on the well-worn trail, you emerge at the real summit – 200 degree views of the Champlain Valley, the Lake, and the Adirondack Mountains in the distance.
Snake Mountain is not only convenient and relatively easy, but its view is unparalleled. As a solitary eminence in the valley, it affords an unexpected vantage. It's rare to see such a flat expanse from such a lofty height. The sensation is more like being in a very quiet helicopter than on a mountain. Remnants of a concrete pad from the Grand View Hotel perch abruptly on the edge of the cliff, so that the tableau seems like a matte painting poorly blended into the foreground.
Snake Mountain views are best late in the day, when the sun is dropping behind the Adirondacks. If you hike up at sunset, remember to bring a headlamp for the hike down. The west side trail is slightly more complex and perhaps a little longer than the standard route, despite the frequent summit signs. We left the summit 15 minutes before sunset and reached the bottom in almost total darkness.
Snake Mountain is a Wildlife Management Area, maintained by Vermont Fish and Wildlife and open to hunting in season. Deer muzzleloader and archery is open for another three days, so wear bright colors and don't put on the Rudolph hat quite yet. Enjoy the hike, and explore!
