Hello HIV/AIDS Section,
It is hard to believe that it is already September. The Annual Meeting in D.C. will be here before we know it. If you plan on attending the Annual Meeting, and are interested in getting involved with Section leadership, make sure and attend our business meetings on Sunday and Tuesday. We welcome new faces and will get you involved in leadership activities if you would like to do so. Also, please join us at La Tasca for our Section Social on Tuesday, Nov. 1 from 7-10 p.m. We will have plenty of food and there will be lots of friendly folks to meet. And, of course, our program for the Annual Meeting is spectacular as usual, and I hope that you enjoy all of our Section sponsored sessions.
Take care,
Tania Basta, Chair, HIV/AIDS Section

From Michael Reece:
Colleagues, I am disappointed to request that I be relieved of my duties as a member of Governing Council for the HIV/AIDS Section. My administrative responsibilites have increased significantly at IU over the past few months, and I just don't feel like I can do the Section justice as a GC member. This is an important body within APHA, and our Section would benefit from someone who can actually be a more active participant in the activities of the GC. I do plan to remain active within the Section, but to have someone represent us who can be more proactive than I can be at present would be mutually beneficial. Thanks in advance, Michael
So, I would like to solicit nominations (for yourself or someone else) by email until Friday, September 23. At that time, I will send out a brief survey and we (HIV leadership) can vote on who should take over the responsibilities for Michael. Thanks to Michael for all the time and service he has provided to our Section.

Public Health and Equity Principles for Transportation
APHA has recently released a list of 10 Public Health and Equity Principles for Transportation. These policies recognize the various impacts that transportation policies can have on public health — they can lead to an increased risk of heart disease, asthma, obesity and mental health disorders — especially on vulnerable populations, including the elderly, the poor and individuals with disabilities. We believe that if transportation policies are reviewed and evaluated with these principles in mind, we will be better able to ensure that health and equity are well-represented. By holding transportation policies to a stated set of standards, we can encourage a transportation system that supports health, and direct funds to programs that improve health, equity and well-being. It is essential that other organizations — at the national, state and local level — demonstrate their support for these principles by joining us as signatories. Please sign on to show your organization's support for these essential principles.

Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg on Why We Have So Few Women Leaders [VIDEO]
Facebook's Sheryl Sandberg has a message to all of the young women who want to get the corner office: The stakes have never been higher in the debate surrounding women in the workplace. The lack of women at the top keeps coming up, and for good reason. The status quo, where men dominate the board rooms and corner offices of technology's major companies, is unacceptable.

British Human Barbie demands Anderson Cooper apologise- IT WAS DOMESTIC VIOLENCE TV SHE CLAIMS
British Human Barbie demands Anderson Cooper apologise -
"He verbally and emotionally abused me and my daughter - it was domestic violence TV," she claims"
(PRBuzz)https://www.prbuzz.com/entertainment/64654-british-human-barbie-demands.htmlJune 8, 2012 -- Celebrity author, mum of three and the woman dubbed the Human Barbie because of her plastic surgery addiction caused after she was the victim of domestic violence has hit back at American TV host Anderson Cooper demanding he formally apologise for calling her 'dreadful' and allowed their interview, in front of her 8 year old to escalate into what she claims was a viscious slanging match and assault.
Controversial plastic surgery addict, Sarah Burge, who has had over half a million pounds worth of plastic surgery after being beaten up, says she went on the show for a reasoned discussion but ended up feeling like a 'battered wife' all over again.According to Sarah, and as reported in the press, Mr Cooper said: "I normally have a lot of respect for my guests but I just think your're dreadful" and labelled her as "publicity seeking".
"I went on the Anderson Cooper show after being offered a chance to talk about plastic surgery, my controversial views, my book and domestic violence instead he attacked me in what I can only assume was a bid for international glory. I can take a beating but he did it in front of my 8 year old daughter Poppy and he should be ashamed. He has a duty of care to minors," says Sarah, 51 who is offering free domestic violence counselling to UK and USA victims.
Burge, who appeared on the show which aired on 22nd May, walked off after one segment after she says Mr cooper attacked her verbally and emotionally in front of her daughter. Since then the Cooper interview with Sarah has been globally reported. Ms Burge says she now beleivesMr Coooper has gained more publicity for himself and his show from her interview alone than any others he has aired. "I have sat back and let the Copper PR machine spin this now I have to stand up for myself and say No - this is what really happened and please apologise to my daughter. It is your show and you allowed it to get our of control after begging us to appear."
"He treated me and my daughter appallingly and he was the one seeking a ratings boost. He at the least owes my daughter who was miked up and ready to come on an apology. She is a little girl. She was traumatised to see her mummy so upset," says Sarah.
"It was like I was being beaten up all over again I feared for myself and my child. I was so badly beaten by one partner I was barely recognisable. I required extensive lastic surgery. Now Mr Coopers attack has caused flash backs and my daughter has been in tears. He has to apologise if not to me but to Poppy," she continues
"I am in the public eye. I know people love or hate me. I can play the game. However Mr Cooper I feel staged this to ensure his profile went through the roof. He couldn't get success on his own so he used me. The episode viralled and he's milking it. What people don't know is show paid for me to fly to New York to be on the show, paid for my husband, Poppy and myself for flights, 1st class accomodation, all expenses trip, allowance and fee plus more flights from New York to our original destination to Atlanta. I wonder what his critics make of that? " says Sarah.
Mr Cooper knew all about me, we planned two segments as an 'experienced host' he lost it and with a paid guest he should be ashamed," says Sarah.
"What is worse is Poppy was miked up ready to come on and witnessed it all. She's terrified of him now. I have had death threats and massive letters and emails of support. Many feel Mr Cooper over stepped the mark. A host of his experience could have had a great debate with me instead he went for the cheap shot for his own personal gain," claims Sarah.
"I am formally requesting he step up and apologise. It's easy to take on a woman who has a 8 year old on set and who he knows is a victim of domestic violence. I feel like his battered wife. I know my views are controversial but what we should have had was a reasoned logical debate not a bear baiting session. Ihave been suicidal since the show aired and thank god I have been supported by some wonderful people in the USA, UK, Australia and Canada."
"Bottom line Mr Cooper paid me to be there. We professionally negotiated what would be discussed and I was promised fairness especially with my daughter present. Mr Cooper presents it like there was no money exchanged, and I was simply an air head. I am not I raise money fro domestic violence, I counsel domestic violence victims. Poppy successfully competes in pageants and yes I am campaigning for more plastic surgery awareness as kids want it younger and we need to be ready. I gave my daughters plastic surgery vouchers, pieces of paper to have boob jobs or to cash in when they are 18. You invest in a college trust fund this is a plastic surgery trust fund. I am not telling them to have surgery now but if they ask get them vouchers," she continues
"I am sure people think this is me being a sore loser. Its not. I felt under siege and like he was going to physically hit me and I had flash backs. Anderson Cooper verbally assaulted me and keeps doing so. He needs to step back and I am sure domestic violence charities around the world will back me. Is behaviour is not a good example for an 8 year old to witness or is he going to say he wasn't aware of this and blame it on a producer?."Mr Cooper needs to apologise. I would happily return for a reasononed debate as long as he can keep his temper under control. Clearly he cannot do that so I am now warning other guests. What I saw in Mr Cooper I saw in the man that attacked and beat me up.Ms Burge and her daughter are now in talks for a USA reality show, Poppy has won a pageant in the USA represneting the UK and Sarah is offering FREE domesic violence counselling to victims in the UK and US via :email@example.com contact Sarah at: firstname.lastname@example.com or call Tony Burge on+447739723818 or http://www.thesarahburge.co.uk/ Views expressed are those of Ms Burge

One of the rumored downsides of the new iPhone (3G iPhone) is that folks would have to activate in store. This would ultimately lead to obnoxiously long lines with each phone taking 10 – 15 minutes to activate. According to Apple Insider that's not necessarily true. Apparently, folks can opt to sign a paper contract with proper ID (and probably a credit card) required, and leave the store with an unactivated 3G iPhone in hand. Course, AT&T, or whoever the retail outfit is, will record the phones unique IMEI number and enter it into THE system for tracking. If the customer doesn't activate the 3G iPhone within 30 days they incur penalties. What those penalties are and how they'll impose them it TBD.
To further expedite the purchase process on July 11th, there will also be an online location where customers will be able to fill out an online form, sign it and bring it in to iPhone 3G retail locations when they're ready to purchase.
Apple's 3G iPhone will be available July 11, 2008.

Arizona Diamondbacks
ESPN: Trevor Bauer a Diamondbacks trade candidate
The Arizona Diamondbacks figure to be active in trade talks this winter, with much of the discussion circling around right field Justin Upton.
However, Upton may not be the only high-profile D-back to be up for grabs.
According to former MLB GM and current ESPN MLB analyst Jim Bowden, in an ESPN Insider piece, pitcher Trevor Bauer may very well be available.
Reason: There are some uniformed personnel in Arizona who don't believe that Bauer will ever have the command and control in the zone to live up to his potential, while others are frustrated by his stubborn nature. If the D-backs have an opportunity to trade him for a long-term solution at shortstop or third base, they're sure to listen.
Possible trade partners: Indians, Rangers, Nationals
The team's frustration with Bauer is well-documented, though many think it's just a matter of time before he matures and becomes an effective Major League pitcher.
The 21-year-old started four games for the D-backs in 2012, compiling a 1-2 record to go along with a 6.06 ERA. He struggled mightily with his command, though was good enough in the minors to be named the team's Minor League Pitcher of the Year.

From the American perspective, functional nations should look more ... well ... like us. They should have democracy, inalienable property rights, free and open markets, freedom of expression, apple pie, etc. Our national belief in the ideology of American exceptionalism defines our worldview.

WASHINGTON (AP) – When the Federal Reserve issues a policy statement after it meets this week, the financial world will be on high alert for two words:

Each year, millions of Americans are victims of data breaches. Credit card fraud alone has affected 41 percent of consumers over the last five years, according to Aite Group's 2014 Global Consumer Fraud Survey.
As your innovation efforts begin to move from the ideation to the testing phase, or the co-creation with consumers or customers, outlandish and disruptive concepts present themselves.

People are generally happier when the stock market goes up than when the stock market goes down. But given that large numbers of people own no stock, and most people own only a very small amount of stock, it makes no sense to make stock market performance the main goal of economic policy. Most people's year-to-year financial situation is more influenced by the state of the health care system than by the state of the stock market. Most people's retirement security is more influenced by whether or not large cuts are made in promised Social Security benefits than by the state of the stock market. But the interests of the relatively small minority of people whose financial situation is dominated by the state of the stock market have disproportionate influence over the media and the political system.

A small, high quality mic that is "heard, but not seen."
The Electro-Voice RE92H is a miniature cardioid pattern microphone with a professional-quality electret capsule. The RE92H mic is designed specifically for suspension above the sound source. The Electro-Voice RE92H mic's cardioid polar pattern gives it high gain before feedback. The mic's condenser element provides clear, natural sound reproduction. Exceptionally high sensitivity, a uniform cardioid polar response, and smooth frequency response make the RE92H microphone ideally suited for distant sound pick-up. The RE92H is also ideal for theatre, houses of worship, or any application where a small, high quality mic needs to be heard but not seen. The integrated wire director can easily be formed at the proper angle to direct the mic at the desired sound source. Electro-Voice supplies the RE92H microphone with 25' of cable. Screw terminals attach the cable to the inline module so that you can shorten it easily if necessary.
Requires phantom power.

By Doug Shipman
While many of us may be focused on holiday preparations, an important milestone passes next week: Tuesday marks the 65th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Created after the atrocities of World War II by a global committee led by Eleanor Roosevelt, this United Nations document provides crucial context for what can be our next great legacy.
Beyond "the city too busy to hate," Atlanta is poised to become America's home for human rights.
Atlanta holds a unique place in the history of the Civil Rights Movement — as a Southern city where conflict gave way to cooperation, citizens worked together across racial and religious lines, and the business community joined in support.
But this spirit of collaboration didn't end with the 1960s. In the decades since, Atlanta has become known as a welcoming home for many minorities, from immigrants to LGBT people. Our civil rights legacy and growing diversity played a key role in our selection to host the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games.
We have also quietly built our capacity as a hub for social justice work, serving as home to major nonprofits including Habitat for Humanity, the Carter Center, CARE, Task Force for Global Health, Points of Light and more.
Our next embrace of human rights will put us once again in the international spotlight. In May, the National Center for Civil and Human Rights opens near Centennial Park. Through our exhibits, the public will finally have a permanent space to connect the lessons of the Civil Rights Movement to evolving human rights struggles around the world.
In November 2015, Atlanta hosts the World Summit of Nobel Peace Laureates, only the second time this massive gathering of activists, students and journalists has been held in the U.S.
Atlanta was chosen to host the world's most influential human rights leaders not only for our prestigious past, but for the promise of our future. Led by civil rights icons like Andrew Young, Evelyn Lowery, John Lewis and C.T. Vivian, our legacy has extended to everyone striving for justice and equality.
As global conflicts over race, ethnicity and religion continue, the world is hungry for positive examples like Atlanta. But, just like in the civil rights era, we have to not only talk the talk, but walk the walk. We must now bring people together to talk about human rights.
Our businesses and cultural institutions, already broadly supportive of these issues, must expand their commitment throughout their philanthropy and daily work. As individuals, we must tell our story to the the world. When someone asks why you love Atlanta, explain how our city embraces and talks about these issues every day.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights reminds us: "Recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world."
Atlanta has been a beacon of human rights for 50 years. It's up to us to help that light burn even brighter for the next 50.
Doug Shipman is CEO of the National Center for Civil & Human Rights.
December 13th, 2013
5:03 pm
While I do agree that Atlanta has done better than many Cities as it relates to civil rights I'm not sure the United Nations is really a great example. With recent members of the United Nations Human Rights Council such as Saudi Arabia, Cuba and that bastion of civil liberty Russia somehow I suspect we can find better examples of freedom.

Economic Freedom and Unemployment around the World
AbstractUsing data from 87 countries and the years 1980–2003, this paper empirically analyzes whether and to what extent economic freedom affects unemployment. According to the regression results, economic freedom is likely to substantially reduce unemployment, especially among women and young people. A small government sector and a legal system characterized by an independent judiciary, impartial courts, and an effective protection of property rights most clearly seem to have beneficial effects. In addition, there are indications that freedom to trade across national boundaries and a light regulatory burden may also lower unemployment, though apparently in the long term only.

My street ministry "Street Reach for the Homeless" began during the winter of 2011 as I saw a group of people, men and women, living on the streets of Fort Wayne, Indiana, who fell between the cracks and stepped forward after the 2011 Point in Time Homeless Count. To have looked into the eyes of a homeless gent as I helped remove gloves nearly frozen to his fingers...to have seen the despair...the loneliness...the fear... and then walked away, turning my back, would have been wrong and simply...

Or maybe you just couldn't resist that special deal on a bushel of tomatoes, potatoes or apples at the farmer's market. So what is a gardener or shopper to do with all that produce?
Since properly stored vegetables will hold their flavor and nutritional value longer than those left in a plastic bag or set on the sunny kitchen counter, consider preserving some for...

Thyme Lawn
This beautiful bed of thyme consists of a number of different cultivars planted in clumps to create a patchwork of colors. This bed is surrounded by an attractive curved brick edge that contains the spreading plants. Bees love this plant so do not walk across the lawn with bare feet while it is in flower. Although thyme lawns release a beautiful scent when walked on, they don't tolerate much foot traffic and will benefit from having stepping stones placed through them if a lot of wear and tear is expected.

Heavy fuel oil that spilled from a Kirby Inland Marine oil barge after it collided with a cargo ship on March 22, began washing up on Galveston Bay's shoreline on Sunday. The Coast Guard received its first reports of impacted birds by Sunday afternoon and the Houston Chronicle published a photo of a duck on the beach covered in oil.
There are shorebird habitats on both sides of the shipping channel, including the Bolivar Flats Shorebird Sanctuary.
Richard Gibbons, conservation director of the Houston Audubon Society, told the Associated Press that the Bolivar Flats Shorebird Sanctuary attracts 50,000 to 70,000 shorebirds to its shallow mud flats perfect for foraging.
"The timing really couldn't be much worse since we're approaching the peak shorebird migration season," Gibbons said. He added that tens of thousands of wintering birds remain in the area.

The Minnesota Timberwolves held the No. 59 overall pick in the 2013 NBA Draft and they chose to select Bojan Dubljevic, a center out of Serbia.
With social media interaction becoming increasingly integrated in professional sports, we scanned Twitter to see just what Wolves fans were saying about the pick.
What did the Wolves fans think of their team's selection? Here is what they had to say:
"@GoodmanESPN: Bojan Dubljevic is taken with the 59th overall pick. One more to go." WTF. Over @BP3 ?? 2nd round is a joke. #whoisthat?

If the wolves are going to draft someone no one knows of that won't even make it to the NBA why not draft Trevor Mbakwe not Bojan Dubljevic
