With CDC HIV Infection Rates on the Rise, New NGLTF Report Examines Direct Impact of Discrimination of Latino Gay Men
Current HIV prevention methods do not adequately address social and cultural factors that can contribute to increased risk for HIV infection among Latino gay men, according to a report released today by the Policy Institute of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force. The report, entitled Social Discrimination and Health: The Case of Latino Gay Men and HIV Risk, directly connects social discrimination to an increased risk of HIV infection in the gay Latino population.
"Many people have dedicated their lives to reducing the incidence of HIV and AIDS in people of color communities for decades, and their work and their recommendations for combating this disease have been ignored for too long," said NGLTF Executive Director Lorri L. Jean. "We hope that policymakers and funders of AIDS services will use this report as a catalyst for action."
Social Discrimination and Health is based on the preliminary findings of the study Nuestra Voces (Our Voices). Roughly 900 men participated in the study, which split its focus between three major cities: Los Angeles, Miami, and New York. The cities were chosen for their representation of the Mexican, Cuban and Puerto Rican subgroups, respectively, within the Latino community. The study was conducted from October 1998 to March 1999 by Rafael M. Diaz, principal investigator and George Ayala, project director.
This groundbreaking study documents the correlation between three forms of social oppression - homophobia, racism and poverty - with the risk-taking behavior associated with HIV transmission. Current HIV prevention strategies do not account for the impact of social discrimination on self-esteem and one's sense of individual agency. This impact can render "one size fits all" HIV prevention strategies ineffective among populations experiencing multiple levels of social oppression. During the past decade, transmission of HIV has continued at an alarming rate, especially among ethnic minorities within the gay male population.
"In the U.S., Blacks and Latinos are now eight and three times more likely, respectively, than non-Latino Whites to be diagnosed with AIDS. In the year 1999-2000, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reported that 69 percent of new HIV infections were among Black and Latino individuals, most of them men who have sex with men. This trend attests to the compounding negative effects of multiple sources of discrimination," said Diaz.
NGLTF held a press conference in Los Angeles to announce the findings of the study and to educate and motivate change within the HIV/AIDS activist, GLBT, and Latino communities. "If we are to be effective in our fight against AIDS and any other public health tragedies that feed on human powerlessness, HIV prevention workers and advocates must be agents of social and cultural change," Diaz said.
Social Discrimination and Health documents a strong correlation between high-risk sexual behaviors and experiences of social discrimination. People engaging in high-risk sexual behaviors, such as anal sex without a condom, were more likely than those who reported low-risk sexual practices to have experienced homophobia, racism, and insufficient economic resources, both in childhood and adulthood.
However, the presence of an openly gay adult role model during childhood, and the acceptance of one's homosexuality by one's family, correlated with lower incidence of high-risk behaviors. These resiliency factors have significant policy implications, not only for HIV transmission, but also for the Boy Scouts controversy and for safe schools initiatives to combat homophobia.
Among the report's findings:
- RELATION OF OPPRESSION TO SEXUAL RISK: Men were placed in two groups, according to their level of risk for HIV infection. Men in the "high-risk" group reported significantly more experiences of homophobia, racism and poverty. Men in the low-risk group had experienced homophobia, racism and poverty, but researchers found that presence of a positive gay role model while growing up and family acceptance correlated with the decreased risk for HIV transmission.
- 73 percent in the high-risk group reported experiencing homophobia in childhood in the form of verbal abuse (vs. 62 percent in the "low-risk" group), 31 percent reported homophobia in the form of physical abuse (vs. 15 percent), and 79 percent reported feelings that their homosexuality hurt and embarrassed their families (vs. 68 percent).
- The high-risk group also reported more experiences of homophobia in adulthood, in the form of verbal insults (67 percent vs. 45 percent in the low-risk group), physical assaults (16 percent vs. 7 percent), and police harassment (34 percent vs. 17 percent).
- Men in the high-risk group reported more experiences of racism in both childhood and adulthood: 49 percent experienced rude mistreatment as adults (vs. 32 percent in the low-risk group) and 34 percent reported police harassment due to race, ethnicity, or skin color (vs. 19 percent).
- Men in the high-risk group also reported more racially based sexual objectification, at a staggering 75 percent, versus the 58 percent experienced by those who fell into the low-risk of infection category.
- Economic struggle was also more evident in the high-risk group: 54 percent had run out of money for basic necessities more than twice in the last 12 months, as compared to 39 percent in the low-risk group; and 29 percent had to look for work more than twice in the past year, as compared to 19 percent in the low-risk group.
Social Discrimination and Health: The Case of Latino Gay Men and HIV Risk is a collaborative project authored by Rafael M. Diaz and George Ayala and published by the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force.

The mission of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force is to build the political power of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community from the ground up. We do this by training activists, organizing broad-based campaigns to defeat anti-LGBT referenda and advance pro-LGBT legislation, and by building the organizational capacity of our movement. Our Policy Institute, the movement's premier think tank, provides research and policy analysis to support the struggle for complete equality and to counter right-wing lies. As part of a broader social justice movement, we work to create a nation that respects the diversity of human expression and identity and creates opportunity for all. Headquartered in Washington, D.C., we also have offices in New York City, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis and Cambridge.

Not long ago a reader sent a rant to this paper complaining about the column where I mentioned that I had been bitten by a flounder while cleaning it.
The lady took me to task for my insensitivity toward the poor animal. She was correct in that my efforts were not conducive to the flounder living out its life cycle. Truth is, from the second the fish hit my jig, its destiny changed from swimming around the Halifax trying to eat other fish to a definite date with corn meal and hot grease.
This type of note comes my way quite often. I am well aware of the views of the folks from PETA. Through the years, that organization has attempted to end all fishing and hunting. If that is your true belief, fine, then you should live it. I do have a problem with folks who only give lip service to such a cause. I am a meat eater. I would never pretend not to be.
Over the past seven years or so that I have written this column, I have always encouraged my readers to take as much care with the fish as possible. As for me, I value each and every critter in the water. Whenever I come upon a fish bank where some thoughtless angler has left a catfish or stingray on the bank to die, I am saddened. Those fish and other so-called trash fish are a valuable part of the marine ecosystem. Dead baitfish or shrimp that have been left behind should always be put back into the water where they can be recycled by Mother Nature. I don't live on the river, but I make it a point to put all fish parts from fish I have cleaned back into the water. The writer said she was a fisherman. I wonder how humane she is with the live bait she uses? Small animals are just as sensitive as large. As a fisherman who uses artificials about 90 percent of the time, I am proud of the fact that I usually don't have to kill shrimp, mullet and any other natural bait.
A few years back I helped my friend Al Hauser catch a 60-pound barracuda in the Halifax. At the end of a one-hour battle, I was able to lift that huge 'cuda into Al's boat. After suitable time to admire the great animal, I insisted on putting that fish back alive. When I wrote about that, I took a lot of heat from readers. People were appalled that I had released such a major predator into water where people swim. Truth is, that big fish was such a beautiful specimen, I could never kill it for nothing. It was not to be used as food. It took a long time for the barracuda to grow to that size. In good conscience, I just couldn't kill it so that folks could take pictures and "ooh" and "aah" back at the bait shop.
Actually, I don't know the best way to kill a fish. Commercial fishermen who supply the markets and fast food places usually throw them on ice right away. I don't know how humane that is, but it is the norm for most of the fish we eat. The flounder that bit my thumb with its last gasp had been caught on a hot day. In order to keep it fresh, I had placed it on a chain stringer and attached it to my kayak where it could be kept in the water alive and therefore fresh for the table.
By the time I got it home, it was near death from its ordeal. Several others on that stringer were already totally dead. When I went to it with a sharp knife, I obviously believed it to be a goner or I would not have foolishly put my thumb into its mouth. I paid for my mistake. Just remember, all of those burgers and fish sandwiches you eat came from animals that did not die of old age.

Broadway may have the Tony Awards, but the Lehigh Valley can boast the Freddys, an annual awards ceremony that recognizes outstanding high school musical theatre in the area. This year's Freddy Awards will be broadcast live on Thursday, May 23, on WFMZ.
Northampton Community College (NCC) offers scholarships to students from regional high schools who participate in the Freddy program. The deadline to apply is May 1. Applications can be found on the Freddy Awards website.
"It is really helping me achieve my dreams," current student Shawna Bernecker said of receiving the Freddy scholarship. She is a 2011 graduate of Pen Argyl High School.
Freddy scholarship recipients are not required to major in theatre, but they are required to participate in theatre productions while attending NCC. In fact, NCC productions are open to students from all majors.
"Being in a show pushes you past every boundary you've ever had," says Alisha Andino, a secondary English education major from Bethlehem. "It's really amazing to see how far you progress from auditions to closing night."
The NCC Theatre department puts on several productions each semester. During this semester, students performed in the Pulitzer Prize-winning play, Anna in the Tropics, and the Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize-winning drama, Angels in America.
Throughout the year, theatre students are part of a family atmosphere that includes cookouts, parties and even their own awards celebration. Northampton graduates have transferred to a wide range of four-year institutions, including Temple University, DeSales University, Cedar Crest College, Albright College, Brooklyn College, University of Iowa, University of Missouri at Kansas City, and University of Connecticut
"I plan on earning a master's degree in drama and art therapy so that I can start my own program for children," Bernecker says of continuing her education. She most recently appeared in Angels in America.

For the first time this campaign season, all five candidates for Utah's 2nd Congressional District squared off during a debate Wednesday night.
The Democrat and Republican candidates did their best to take shots at each other in the Cedar City debate and leave the impression that it's a two-person contest.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Republican Chris Stewart charged that Jay Seegmiller didn't live in the district, making him unfit to truly understand the issues important to the voters. Seegmiller countered that he had lived in the district until the Utah Legislature carved him out of it this year when maps were redrawn to include a new fourth district. The Democrat said if he were elected, he would move into the district.
For 90 minutes, the candidates were questioned on a wide array of foreign and domestic policy issues — including balancing the federal budget.
Stewart has made that a central point in his campaign — calling for cuts and a balanced-budget amendment that caps federal spending at 18 percent of the gross domestic product. Seegmiller also said he supported a balanced-budget amendment and that "everything is on the table" for possible spending reductions.
That's where third party candidate Joe Andrade stepped in — arguing the two parties can't agree on basic functions, let alone amending the Constitution.
"We don't have time for a balanced-budget amendment," Andrade said. "An amendment to the Constitution takes an incredible amount of time."
To amend the Constitution, it takes two-thirds vote in both chambers of Congress or a Constitutional Convention called for by two-thirds of the state legislatures. A proposed amendment becomes part of the Constitution as soon as it is ratified by three-fourths of the states.
The debate, hosted by Utah Public Radio on the campus of Southern Utah University, was the first to be held in the southern portion of the district. The first question the candidates were asked to tackle was immigration and the Dream Act — legislation that grants children brought to the country illegally a pathway to citizenship.
Seegmiller said he supported the measure — originally co-sponsored by Sen. Orrin Hatch a decade ago — and he also backed Obama's deferred action order that allows illegal immigrants between the ages of 15 and 30 to get temporary work permits if they are attending school.
"I think it's a positive step forward," Seegmiller said.
Stewart disagreed, calling Obama's action a usurpation of congressional power. He also questioned the viability of the Dream Act.
"It does not represent the will of the people," Stewart said. "If it did, it would've passed through Congress."
The act failed in 2011 when it passed the House of Representatives, but narrowly failed to get the 60 votes needed to break cloture.
Both candidates hewed closely to their talking points on domestic issues, with Stewart repeating his desire to repeal the Affordable Care Act, and Seegmiller saying there were good parts to the legislation — covering pre-existing conditions and children — and that throwing it out entirely was irresponsible.
Charles Kimball, a third-party candidate, called the Affordable Care Act "laudable" and said it showed the nation was "willing to move forward" on health care.
Constitution Party candidate Jonathan Garrard also participated in the debate, repeatedly calling for less government regulation and saying his policies stemmed from one of his key influences — John Birch Society member and faith-based political conservative Cleon Skousen, who died in 2009.
Much of the debate was broadcast over the radio, but during the candidates' closing arguments, Seegmiller and Andrade were the only ones who were heard when the feed from the station cut out. Utah Public Radio officials said the entirety of the debate could be heard Thursday morning on podcast at www.utahpublicradio.org.

This one takes practice. This maneuver requires a toilet with a tank above it, like the ones in most homes. Instead of crapping in the bowl, you shit in the tank. Now don't flush. When the following victim flushes, the rancid waste fills the bowl. If you play your cards right, it may ferment. Great prank for those lame partys.
"I gave that toilet a nice upperdecking, Just wait till she comes outta there"

The malicious act of making doodie in the water tank of a toilet, thus contaminating the toilet's clean water supply.

I'm starting a flash gaming course next week at school and since its been over a year since I submitted my last game I thought I'd refresh my memory on AS. So over the weekend this is what I've come up with.
This little game is based roughly on the 1996 mac game "munchies"
Don't expect the world....
Hopefully I will be submitting more and better flash soon!
Rated 2.5 / 5 stars February 22, 2010
Nice concept.
However, the difficulty is too hard, and try to work on the graphic.
Rated 1 / 5 stars February 22, 2010
After two seconds of playing this game I started to ram the ugly red circle into the spikes and skulls. That's why I gave it a 2, for the satisfaction of destroying annoying stuff.
Hopefully you will be submitting more and better flash soon!

Radiation therapy, also called radiotherapy, uses high-energy radiation to kill cancer cells. Radiation can be used before surgery to shrink the size of a tumor, making surgery easier and more effective, or it may be used after surgery to try to kill any remaining cancer cells.
Radiation therapy can also be used to treat body parts that the tumor has spread to (metastasis). It is not often used as the main treatment for adrenocortical cancer because it tends to be resistant to radiation.
When the radiation comes from a machine outside the body, it is called external beam radiation and the radiation is focused on the cancer from outside the body. This kills the cancer cells that are present, or the ones that are missed during surgery. Radiation may be used after surgery to keep the tumor from coming back. In adrenal cancer, radiation is mostly used for palliation, which is for control of symptoms, such as bone pain.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by BigManFromAFRICA88 Freshest boots Wow. Just got these yesterday, and I got a size way bigger than my foot now just so I could wear them as long as I could. This is my 4 pair of Predators, and I have always stayed true to the brand because it doesn't disappoint. This is no exception, the Predator zones work like a charm. I recommend that you buy these cleats because of the design and its practicality. May 27, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by The_Bestest_In_The_World The best cleats ever! I was so excited when my parents bought these for my 7th grad graduation, I couldn't wait to try them on. The fit of the boot was amazing and the dribbling was the best. June 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Flashart World Class - Predator Instinct Cleats Amazing graphics, control surfaces, balance and cleat layout. Comfortable fit and good grip on turf and short grass. Heel feels more secure than previous Predator shoes and the control surfaces have more grip for adding spin to the ball. Lateral stability is also stiffer than my 2010 Predators, but this not a disadvantage. All together this is a great shoe and I expected nothing more than the excellence in quality and performance that I have had with all my Predators. June 3, 2014

A frequent contributor, Ralph, AA8RK, forwarded to me a link to the Fun Theory website. According to the website, "…something as simple as fun is the easiest way to change people's behaviour for the better. Be it for yourself, for the environment, or for something entirely different, the only thing that matters is that it's change for the better."
The website shows a couple of videos, like the one above, that are examples of how to make good things fun. The Hands-On Museum has a piano staircase, and it is fun!
That got me to thinking about how we can make amateur radio demos more fun. I haven't come up with any great ideas yet, but if you have one, please comment here. Ham radio has to be fun, or else it's going to fade into the woodwork.

Phil Quon, of recruiting firm Leadership Associates, said inside the empty district boardroom at 111 S. De Anza Blvd. that his firm had hoped to get input from community stakeholders.
He said the firm also wanted to know what residents considered to be the strengths of the district and the challenges it will face during the next five to 10 years.
The need for a new superintendent arose after Superintendent Dale Hansen announced his plans to retire June 30 during a closed executive session at the March 6 school board meeting.
Although the board room was empty Wednesday, Quon said residents still have a chance to fill out an online survey, which can be reached via a link on the LUSD website, www.lammersvilleschooldistrict.net.
The five-part survey asks residents to rank the importance of a candidate's experience and personal and professional characteristics and the qualities they felt LUSD possessed.
The survey will be available until 5 p.m. Wednesday, April 17, Quon said.
Once all the data is collected, Quon said the information and candidate applications will be reviewed before the April 29 submission deadline.
A shortlist of candidates will be given to the school board May 20.
Interviews of the top candidates are scheduled for June 7 and 8.
Quon said he managed to speak with one resident during a separate 1:15 p.m. community meeting Wednesday, as well as representatives of various school district groups throughout the day. He said the groups included members of the Lammersville Teachers Association and staff of the district administration office.
He said most people wanted the board to hire someone with "experience to head a unified school district in growth mode."
"We're excited," Quon said. "We'll find somebody. There's somebody out there. This is a great place."
Noel Balzarini, executive assistant to the superintendent, said that about 20 residents provided input at a similar community meeting during the search five years ago that brought Hansen to Lammersville.
"I know people have busy lives," she said. "They can still go to the survey."

Should you buy a foreclosure?
Foreclosed properties can be a great deal for homebuyers, whether they're planning to live in the house or rent it out. But they should know the potential pitfalls.
Michael Barton was just 19 when he bought his first foreclosure four years ago for $37,000. The Lincoln, Neb., resident said he realized he could pay less on a mortgage than he was spending to rent a six-bedroom house with his brother and three other people.
"I was paying $350 a month in rent and knew there were houses out there that would have a mortgage lower than that," Barton said. "My original mortgage on my first house was $315 a month, and I had my brother living with me paying $350 a month, (so I was) living for free."
Since then, Barton has purchased three more foreclosed properties to fix up and rent out.
By contrast, financial planner Diahann Lassus wasn't in the market for an investment property when she noticed a foreclosure for sale around the corner from her Bonita Springs, Fla., home.
After extensive research and number crunching, Lassus offered the bank 20% less than its asking price -- a discount that reflected the considerable costs necessary to fix up a house that had been empty for two years. Her offer was accepted, so she wound up paying $95,000 cash for a three-bedroom house once valued at $350,000.
The renovations cost more than she had expected -- about $45,000 -- and the return on her investment has been less than what she's making on her stock market investments. But she has "great renters" who are covering her costs, and she expects the home to appreciate over the 10 years or so she plans to own it.
Liz Weston
Buying a foreclosure can be a great way to get a home for less, whether you're planning to live in the property or rent it out. The supply of foreclosures certainly isn't going to dry up soon, which means plenty of opportunities for home seekers and investors.
Plenty of pitfalls await the unprepared buyer, however.
"A foreclosure is not for everyone," said John Anderson, a longtime agent with Twin Oaks Realty in Golden Valley, Minn., who says about half of his business is short sales and foreclosures. "A lot of buyers are struggling just to get enough money" for a down payment and "don't have $4,000 to replace the carpet and $1,000 to repaint and $2,000 for new appliances."
Even for those who have some spare cash, it might not be enough to buy troubled properties that are too run-down to qualify for Federal Housing Administration or even conventional mortgages. Peeling lead paint can be enough to thwart an FHA loan, while more serious problems, like a roof that needs to be replaced, can stymie a conventional loan. In such cases, only buyers who can pay cash are considered.
"The buyer has to qualify for financing, but the property has to qualify, too," Anderson said. "The seller is not going to let you in to fix the property (before the deal closes), and the new bank won't let you close until the work is done."
Some properties simply need too much work to make much financial sense. A foreclosure might be $15,000 less than a comparable property, for example, but may need $30,000 in repairs and improvements to make it habitable. In such a case, the more expensive property "is a better investment, because the work is already done for you," Anderson said.
"Just because the price is low doesn't mean it's a good deal," he said.
Here are some other things to keep in mind when you consider buying a foreclosure:
Planning to flip? You might want to rethink that. People can, and do, buy foreclosed houses cheap so they can fix them up for quick resale. In falling markets, though, it can be hard for buyers, particularly amateurs, to do this successfully. If you don't get a steep enough discount or spend too much on repairs or don't find a buyer quickly, what looked like a great deal can become a cash drain. Many investors now are focusing on properties they can rent out for several years, so they can benefit from price appreciation when it eventually returns. Lassus recommends that foreclosure buyers be ready to hang on to a property for seven to 10 years.
Don't expect to automatically get a screaming deal. Some banks slash a property's price for a quick sale, which means you'll get the house for less than comparable homes in the area. Other banks don't offer much, if any, discount, and intense investor interest in a property can lead to a bidding war that drives up the price.
Lot's of good advice here. "As is" means what it says. You may move into your "great deal" and discover when you turn on the lights to use the bathroom on your first night there that your new castle is crawling with centipedes. And that is a small problem compared to a defective foundation, termites or a severe mold problem. Sometimes people walk away from houses and declare bankruptcy because the house is a loser, and that was the only way they could get out from underneath it.. So do your research and don't buy anything without a professional inspection.
doubt banks are sitting on property waiting for prices to come up. They have to pay for that property's upkeep and if you live near a piece of property has become a blight on the neighborhood don't be a dork--call city hall and insist something be done. Why give the banks a free pass?

Alan Jackson headlined the Stars Go Blue benefit concert for the Colon Cancer Alliance Wednesday night at Nashville's Ryman Auditorium, and Alan has a very personal connection to that cause. His wife Denise survived a battle with colon cancer several years ago, and she is the person who convinced Alan to perform the show.
Alan was happy to oblige saying, "That's the easiest thing I can do is walk out there and sing, and it's nice to have your music do something other than just go out and entertain people normally, and be able to use your music to help a cause like this."
Though many of the audience members had been through cancer battles of their own, Alan made it clear he was there to have a good time. The set list was dotted with Alan's mighty catalog of hits including "Livin' on Love," "Gone Country," "Chasin' That Neon Rainbow," "Good Time" and many more.
The only somber moment of the night came when Alan performed "When I Saw You Leaving," an emotionally charged song Alan wrote about Denise's cancer battle. It was the first time he'd performed that song since recording it for his 2012 album, Thirty Miles West .
Country newcomer Craig Campbell opened the show, and he sought out a spot on the bill because of his personal experience with colon cancer. Craig's father died of the disease at age 36, and that has prompted Craig to get screened regularly.
He says, "I've been having colonscopies. I've had two. I've had one at the age of 26 and one at five years. But yeah, it's a personal thing."
Craig has opened shows for Alan before, but he'd never met the country legend before Wednesday night. Craig and Alan have the same producer, Keith Stegall , so they had plenty to talk about when Alan invited Craig onto his bus before the show.
Says Craig, " When I walked on his bus, we was talking a minute, and then he's like, 'Keith played me your album. I love it.' And then he started naming off songs off my record. I just thought that was the coolest thing."

Hormone replacement therapy
Hormone replacement therapy refers to any form of hormone therapy wherein the patient, in the course of medical treatment, receives hormones, either to supplement a lack of naturally occurring hormones, or to substitute other hormones for naturally occurring hormones. Common forms of hormone replacement therapy include:
- Hormone replacement therapy for menopause is based on the idea that the treatment may prevent discomfort caused by diminished circulating estrogen and progesterone hormones, or in the case of the surgically or prematurely menopausal, that it may prolong life and may reduce incidence of dementia.[1] It involves the use of one or more of a group of medications designed to artificially boost hormone levels. The main types of hormones involved are estrogens, progesterone or progestins, and sometimes testosterone. It often referred to as "treatment" rather than therapy.
- Hormone replacement therapy for transgender people introduces hormones associated with the gender that the patient identifies with (notably testosterone for trans men and estrogen for trans women). Some intersex people may also receive HRT. Cross-sex hormone treatment for transgender individuals is divided into two main types: hormone replacement therapy (female-to-male) and hormone replacement therapy (male-to-female).
- Androgen replacement therapy (andropausal and ergogenic use) is a hormone treatment often prescribed to counter the effects of male hypogonadism. It is also prescribed to lessen the effects or delay the onset of normal male aging. Additionally, androgen replacement therapy is used for men who have lost their testicular function to disease, cancer, or other causes[citation needed].
Rodent studies for HRT[edit]
Many studies on the effects of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) have been conducted on rats. Predominantly, these studies have looked at the effects of estradiol, a type of estrogen, on rats' performances on various tasks. Often, the rodents will be ovariectomized, meaning they have their ovaries removed. This prevents the production and release of estrogen and progesterone, and mimics the occurrence of menopause in human females. Once the ovaries have been removed, researchers will administer estrogen, progesterone, or both to see what the effects are on the rats' behaviors. Rats are good animal models because they have similar cognitive deficits to humans as they age, and administering hormone therapy to them is easy.[2]
Overall, the results of these studies are non-conclusive. Some studies find impairments due to the HRT, where others find improvements. A common theme that runs through many studies is that rats that are given HRT perform better on tasks activating the hippocampus, and worse on tasks involving the prefrontal cortex. For example, Wang et al. (2009) found that ovariectomized rats that were exposed to estradiol did considerably worse than rats who were not exposed to estradiol, on a delayed spatial reasoning task – a task that activates the prefrontal cortex.[3] Another study that looked at the effects of estradiol in ovariectomized rats, found that when HRT was administered immediately following the removal of the ovaries, there was a decrease in anxious and depressive behaviors, while also improvement on cognitive performance on an object-placement task (though this was a hippocampal-based task).[4] Hence, the timing of the hormone replacement therapy and the activated brain regions are significant factors in assessing effectiveness of HRT. Another important aspect is whether or not the treatment is chronic or cyclic. Chronic treatment is daily doses of the hormone, while cyclic treatment is based on the normal cycling patterns of that hormone. One study found that the group of rodents, who received estradiol and a type of progesterone chronically, performed the worst on the maze task; whereas, the group who received only estradiol cyclically showed some improvements.[5]
More research in this area is needed. Some important results can be gathered from these rodent studies though. First, that differing brain regions may respond in a variety of ways to HRT. Second, that the timing of the therapy is integral to the chances of success. Third, that how the hormones are administered, either chronically or cyclically, may make an important difference in their effectiveness.
Effects on women[edit]
As recently as 2005 women have had a positive attitude towards hormone replacement therapy but based on the empirical data these attitudes may be overly optimistic.[6] Currently, however, most women do not find HRT to be an effective solution. There is still much to learn about how HRT affects people. Below we talk about a few of the positive and negative effects of HRT. Generally, HRT is initially helpful but if used for a long period of time it loses its effectiveness. On the other hand, there are times when HRT is not only ineffective but actually detrimental to people.
Hormone replacement therapy is not always good. An example of this is in a study where women going through menopause using HRT with Progestin as a major component of the therapy show a few negative effects on hearing. Not only does the Progestin decrease the functionality of many regions of the ear it also reduces the effectiveness in parts of the central nervous system used for hearing.[7] Also in some situations it has been shown that menopausal women who are caregivers and receive HRT can have an increased chance for cardiovascular issues. As caregivers it is implied that they have more acute stress in their lives and that acute stress along with the HRT is priming negative cardiovascular effects.[8]
Recent research done by the Million Women Study, funded by Cancer Research UK has proven that certain forms of HRT increase the risk of endometrial (womb) cancer.However, previous research has shown that the combined type of HRT poses a greater breast cancer risk than tibolone or oestrogen-only HRT and, because breast cancer is more common than endometrial cancer, the researchers believe that when considering the overall effect of HRT it is important to look at both breast and endometrial cancer.[9]
Hormone replacement therapy can have beneficial effects. In a study women taking estrogen through HRT showed that the estrogen positively affects the prefrontal cortex by boosting the working memory. This suggests that estrogen may play a key role in certain frontal lobe functions in women.[10] Women using HRT after menopause have no additional weight gain compared to women who do not use HRT.[11] Also women who use HRT with an estrogen component show positive effects in their sex life (mainly increasing their sex drive and sexual sensitivity) but the effects are inconsistent across women. Sadly, these sexual improvements can dissipate after receiving HRT for extended periods of time.[12]

Weight Loss & Diet Plans
Diet Shakes: Sipping to Slimness
You meant to drop a few pounds this spring, but you never got around to eating less and exercising more on a regular basis. With summertime here, you're considering how to shed that extra weight, and fast. Are diet shakes the ticket to a slimmer you? Perhaps.
Diet Shakes Pros and Cons
"I prefer people to lose weight on a balanced, low-fat diet that includes lots of fruits and vegetables," says Cathy Nonas, RD, a spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association and director of Obesity and Diabetes Program at North General Hospital in New York City. "However, I realize that approach doesn't work best for everyone, so sometimes I recommend liquid meal replacements as part of a healthy eating plan."
Other nutritionists disagree. "Whole foods provide a much better balance of nutrients than meal replacements," says Hillary M. Wright, MEd, RD, a nutrition counselor at Harvard Vanguard Medical Associates in Boston. "Plus, using real foods forces you to make choices that help you maintain weight loss in the long run."
Australian researchers writing in the Journal of Nutrition found that diet shakes, also called meal replacements, were just as effective for producing weight loss when compared with conventional, structured weight loss diets. However, study subjects using diet shakes were more positive about dieting in general, rating their eating plan more favorably for its convenience than those on the regular food diet. That may be just the motivation some people need to diet.
Nonas says diet shakes are particularly useful for jump-starting weight loss (health experts generally recommend limiting weight loss to no more than about 2 pounds a week). As with meal replacement bars or low-calorie entrees, diet shakes help you keep tight control on calories. "They are particularly useful for women who have very little leeway in calorie intake and who can't lose weight when they exceed their calorie quota even by a little," Nonas says.
Of course, diet shakes of any type won't work toward weight loss unless you eat fewer calories than you burn every day. To use diet shakes and meal replacement beverages most effectively, determine a calorie allowance for weight loss. You may be tempted to slash daily intake to 1,200 calories for fast results, but 1,500 calories may help you stick with your eating changes longer. Include exercise, which aids weight control and promotes good health.
Diet Shakes: The Simplest Way to Diet
Diet shakes and other meal replacements are a boon when you lack the time or motivation to shop for and prepare balanced meals. They also help when you just don't want to think too hard about what to eat to lose weight. Even Wright admits they are useful -- to a point. "If you are consistently missing a certain meal, such as breakfast, then a meal replacement shake is better than nothing. That's because studies show eating breakfast fosters long-term weight control."

I recently read that the App Association (aka ACT) is lobbying Congress to promote clarity in HIPAA regulations for app developers, based in part on the experience that health care systems "don't understand the intersection of HIPAA and mobile, and their reaction is to say 'no', [which means that] apps that improve outcomes don't make it through the front door."
Blaming the government for a regulated industry's failure to understand regulations, and suggesting that the government should publish its regulations through channels other than the official channels are interesting strategies. It seems to me that there are more productive ways of engaging with the issues.

I bought this unit to go on a weapon I was building and it turned out that it wouldn't fit the mount I had. I have other, fancier ones, but I bought this one for the simplicity. Green (USUALLY easier to see), two brightness settings, and a separate power switch. I'll use it on something because it is great when all the features just get in the way.

Customer Reviews
Wasn't as great as we thought, isn't going to fit his m4 but modified it to fit his 45, not sure if it will break or not if sot on our pistol, may be a present for my sister in law for her 22. but it as great for its price
Had to return it. Would not fit.
The Walthers Shot Dot was superior than I expected.
Its just what it says it is,product good but wrong for me,my fault picked wrong product. anthony chapill hill,n.c.
I like this dot sight as a close quarter sight. It is easy to see in low light or sun light. The screen is easy to see with both eyes open, so the eyes do not fatigue. It installed into the standard rail upper with ease using the Allen key supplied. The one drawback is to zero it you need to use another Allen key-supplied, but it is more a screw system as opposed to an intuitive incremental system. So, it took a little time to zero the system. But once done, it seems stable. Overall a good buy.

The movement for equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people is one of the most successful in recent history. In the U.S., even though LGBT people and same-sex couple families experience inequality and exclusion in a wide range of state and federal policy arenas, significant policy advances have occurred. These include the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell, the adoption of transgender nondiscrimination laws in 16 states, the extension of marriage equality in eight states, and support for same-sex marriage by President Obama and the Democratic Party. This course will examine the incredible successes of LGBT rights activism in the U.S. and globally, and the treatment of LGBT people in several policy areas, with an in-depth focus on several issue areas that afford a broad overview of domestic and global LGBT policy, including: implementation of the Affordable Care Act; elder issues; youth and education policy; family recognition and the policy implications of race and gender differences among same-sex couple households; and international LGBT rights struggles. We will also examine debates within the U.S. LGBT movement between progressives/liberals and conservatives, and look at voting behavior and public opinion trends.
