How to Carve an Extreme Pumpkin
There's pumpkin carving and then there's extreme pumpkin carving. Artist and sculptor Ray Villafane, a two-time winner of the Food Network'sChallenge: Outrageous Pumpkins, , shares his top tips for going beyond the traditional and into the extreme. Plus, see a slideshow of some his most amazing creations .
1. Choose a pumpkin with a thick wall. Since it's difficult to determine thickness without cutting into the pumpkin, pick up a bunch and search for one that is "heavier than others that are the same size," not just heavy.
2. For faces, avoid perfectly round pumpkins and choose pumpkins that are oblong with a compressed ridge running from top to bottom along one of the sides. Carving the face onto this protruding ridge allows for maximum depth.
3. Use various size clay ribbon loop tools for 90% of the carving. They are perfect for creating fluid contours. Sharp details and fine cuts can be applied at the end with a paring knife.
4. It is common for many beginners to be hesitant to carve deep. As a result, the pumpkins are not as three dimensional as they can be. Unfortunately, it is also common for beginners to go too deep and break through when carving a pumpkin. The key is to go as deep as possible. Waste no material but be very careful as you approach the center. The texture of the pumpkin will change slightly and the surface of the pumpkin will begin to bounce a bit. The more you carve, the more familiar you will be with the limits of your particular pumpkin.
5. Use reference. Photographs, drawings or mirrors can be valuable tools when creating the perfect pumpkin.
6. Cool and moist conditions will add a few more days to the life of the pumpkin. There are so many factors that come into play when it comes to longevity of the carving but a full-proof way to make it last is to take a quality photo.
7. Practice, practice, practice.

Getting you more information on this room
Went to Indy for a mini weekend trip, and booked this Super 8 for its close drive to downtown (only about 15 minutes). The room was recently renovated, and very clean. There was wifi and also free breakfast in the morning. The bathroom could have been better maintained, as the drain was very slow. But as long as you get...
Thank you very much for your ratings and comments. We look forward to you visiting us again the future.
Ok for the price.. cheap bedding.. uncontrollable heat.. either too hot or too cold. Toilet ran water all night n day.. water pressure sucked in the shower .
Thank you for your comments and ratings. We do apologize for the issue with the toilet, if we notified of the situation we could corrected the problem. Thanks again for the information and we look forward to seeing you again.
A good lil place to stay for the evening. Close to the highway and all the restaurants needed. The customer service was good, no issues there. The room was a lil small, however clean and comfortable.
Thank you for your ratings and comments. We look forward to your next visit to our hotel.
I knew going in that this wouldn't be a great stay. Dim lighting, outdated bathroom fixtures, old carpet....those were expected. But my stay still might have been worth the money if the staff hadn't been curt for no reason whatsoever.
Thank your comments and ratings. We do apologize for the shortness of the staff when talking with you this not the image we like to present to our guests.
In search of a place to stay that isn't too expensive, its a one night stay in or around Indianapolis found this super 8 on tripadvisor, most reviews seemed to be what I expected but the bed bug situation in the one room has me concerned.
I travel frequently and I am aware that this may happen anywhere, I always check my room on arrival but Im still curious if any one has had an incident similar at this establishment? thank you.
See all questions
"Get a room toward the back"
"Any area of the hotel is quiet, and any area has a nice view."
"Check bed firmness before you book"
"This hotel has no elevator so choose 1st floor if you have lots of luggage."
"Room within earshot of the front desk? NO! The family that runs the place literally scream at each other at all hours of the day and night."

Packers corners to go left and right, Shields 'ready for the challenge'
Green Bay — In deep thought at his locker, Sam Shields couldn't recall his most difficult assignment last year at cornerback.
He paused for 10 seconds, only muttering a barely audible "Who was it?" to himself before finally citing a game during the 2011 season.
"It wasn't last year," Shields said, "but Eleven (Julio Jones) from the Falcons was pretty tough."
He knows that'll likely change in 2013. This year, don't be surprised to see Shields across from opponents' No. 1 wide receivers.
"I'm ready for the challenge," Shields said. "Always ready."
That's because this season, the Packers would prefer not to match up specific cornerbacks on specific wideouts. Instead, Green Bay is planning on playing a cornerback on the left side and a cornerback on the right side. Wherever Calvin Johnson, Brandon Marshall, Greg Jennings line up, so be it. The Packers want their two outside cornerbacks to handle whoever is on their side.
Cornerbacks coach Joe Whitt Jr. acknowledges the Packers will match up if they need to. But going in, that's not the plan. And with Shields all but named a starter, he should be drawing several more difficult match-ups this season. The decision to do this was made long before Tramon Williams suffered the bone bruise in his knee, too.
"We have guys with similar ability," Whitt said. "There's no reason to put all of that on one guy when they have to have that same receiver down in and down out. When we have guys who have equal ability, we split it. We've done that before."
Whitt notes the Packers did the same thing with Williams and Al Harris, then with Williams and Charles Woodson.
"I'm not saying that we won't match," Whitt continued, "but what I am saying is that we're going to go in with the mind-set that we're playing left and right and I want to demand that everybody do your job and when that guy comes to your side, you handle him. You handle him. I think Tramon got criticized for his tough matches and some other guys got more credit because they didn't have those matches.
"We're going to give everybody the opportunity to get that tough match. And now, everybody has to play. Then, we'll see where everything is."
With Williams still sidelined --- though he's hopeful for Week 1 --- Shields has been mostly shutting receivers down in practice. Coaches say he's become a more complete cornerback, particularly with his feel for zone coverage and his physical play. Since making the team as an undrafted rookie in 2010, the former college wide receiver has been able to stick with receivers with his raw speed.
Now, Whitt says, Shields has a better feel for where he does and does not have help in space. The strides he made as a tackler in 2012 have carried over so far.
Shields put up big numbers down the stretch last season — four interceptions and 11 pass break-ups in his final six games — but Williams often did the heavy lifting. Now, Shields should get his chance. Whitt would prefer to keep Shields on the right side and noted that Williams has a lot of experience on the left side. There's no set combination of corners yet.
"I have 100% confidence in Sam's ability," Whitt said. "Now, he has to go do it and do it for every game. Sam has progressed and he's where I think he should be."
Defensive coordinator Dom Capers pointed to a tackle in last weekend's exhibition win at St. Louis when Shields filled in run support.
"You didn't use to see him do that," Capers said. "So he's playing much more physical and tackling and you can count on him more in supporting the run now than you could when he first came in. He didn't understand all the aspects. He was more just a cover guy. But he's a lot more than that now."
Meanwhile, Williams remains out. Capers admitted that "it's hard to play this game if you haven't been out there practicing," though added "I think he'll catch up to speed fairly fast."
Either way, after seeing Shields progress this summer, the Packers will try sticking with a left-and-right plan at cornerback. The schedule is full of top talents at wide receiver. Outside the division, Green Bay also will face Anquan Boldin, A.J. Green, Victor Cruz, Hakeem Nicks, Roddy White, Julio Jones, Dez Bryant and Torrey Smith.
Shields believes he's now equipped to face anyone across the line.
"I'm ready for it," he said. "It's always a challenge and it's always an opportunity. So I'm always ready for any opportunity, any challenge. It's going to be real nice to be out there and guard those guys. I'm ready."

When reading this on NZHerald.co.nz I asked myself whether Christchurch is fast following this trend with a market that is gaining incredible momentum and in frequent occasions experiencing intense competition amongst purchasers.
[Gareth Berry] went to his parents for a $200,000 loan and had no problem getting finance with banks offering 5.1 per cent fixed interest for three years. Armed with that cash he had a new top limit of $900,000 – but the search did not get any easier. A four-month battle through Auckland's real estate auction rooms stretched Gareth Berry's budget from $400,000 to $880,000 before he finally landed his first family home. Gareth Berry finally has his weekends back after nearly 'losing it' looking for a house.
Recently bidding at an auction via telephone for a client out of town, we experienced such competition. The bidding opened with the auctioneer at $480,000 followed by me hastily bidding at $560,000 thinking this will show our bold intent. How wrong I was, the next bid was a $90,000 increase of $650,000 which happened to be the upper level of my client's budget, so needless to say our bidding strategy went straight out the window at that point. The property eventually sold for $737,000 – another Harcourts Gold success story and I'm imagining one very happy client!
Also in the latest issue of the Harcourts MarketWatch, which also indicates some interesting figures for the month of March. While it is understandable that March 2012 is a better market than 12 months earlier, auction numbers have increased phenomenally, while the number of available properties has dropped significantly. This provides a good indication of a strengthening market.
And something positive to finish on:
"Behold the turtle. He makes progress only when he sticks his neck out."

Hospitals are being squeezed on many fronts – government reimbursement for medical services are declining, government regulatory requirements are increasing, and the prospects for improvement are dwindling. Medicare and Medicaid payments come with so many restrictions and conditions that healthcare providers, including hospitals, face serious business calculations on whether or not serving whole classes of patients are economically worth the trouble.
Looking over the legal and compliance risk landscape, hospitals face continuing risks under the False Claims Act, the Stark law and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act ("HIPAA"). Current trends in each of these areas underscore increased risk of enforcement and burdens from compliance.
The False Claims Act continues to top the list of risks for every healthcare provider, including hospitals. Government prosecutors secured a legislative wish-list of FCA provisions which all but guaranteed the government would increase its advantage in every investigation. The FCA has become a catch-all way for the government to secure large financial settlements from hospitals for sloppy record-keeping or situations where the intent evidence is mixed.
The whistleblower cottage industry continues to grow as more attorneys seek out plaintiffs to launch lucrative FCA cases against hospitals and others with deep pockets. The government embraces this regime as an effective way to leverage limited investigative and prosecution resources. Hospitals have on incentive to fight these cases since the cost of litigating and putting the government to its proof is prohibitive.
Stark law violations have grown in importance as well – first as a predicate for FCA cases but as stand-alone enforcement matters. The government has created an almost impenetrable set of requirements and restrictions around physician relationships that hospitals cannot even figure out how to comply with the possible violations. More and more hospitals are employing their own physicians which eliminates a number of Stark law restrictions. However, a significant percentage of physicians (approximately 70 percent) continue to have a variety of financial relationships with hospitals, and the risk increases that such arrangements may result in prohibited referrals to the physician.
The Stark law has numerous permutations, safe harbors and possible exclusions. The law has broad application to hospital-physician relationships, including: (1) employment terms and joint management terms; (2) on-call coverage arrangements; (3) acquisitions; (4) joint ventures; (5) medical directorships; (6) office purchase or leasing arrangements; and (7) related services.
Hospitals are used to dealing with HIPAA requirements and restrictions. What they are not used to is an aggressive enforcement environment and expansion of HIPAA requirements to business partners. HHS' Office of Civil Rights is enforcing HIPAA requirements on privacy and overall data security, especially as part of "meaningful use" requirements.
Hospitals have been paying settlements around $1 million for specific data infirmities, including loss of data, unauthorized access to personal health information, and theft of unsecured data.
In this environment, hospitals need to devote more attention to focused and proactive compliance programs. It is tough for hospitals to allocate more resources given the tightening financial situation. It is important to focus on some basic compliance tasks, including: (1) regular internal audits; (2) active enforcement of enforcement standards; (3) training and education; (4) respond promptly and carefully to potential compliance issues; and (5) devote more attention to communications with managers, employees and the board.

Nanophase Technologies Invited to Present at Particles 2005
Nanophase Notes New Customer Orders
Aug 09, 2005, 01:00 ET from Nanophase Technologies Corporation
ROMEOVILLE, Ill., Aug. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Nanophase Technologies (Nasdaq: NANX), a technology leader in nanomaterials and nanoengineered products, noted that Dr. Richard Brotzman, Nanophase's Vice President of R&D, has been invited to present at the Particles 2005 conference August 13-16 in San Francisco. Particles 2005 is an international conference examining the science, technology, and business aspects of particle surface modification in different application areas including: chemical and drug delivery, chemical and biochemical diagnostics, and nano encapsulation for stabilization, modification and controlled release.

He plans to cover the Company's patented, patent-pending and proprietary nanomaterial technologies in nanoparticle manufacturing, nanoparticle surface treatments, and nanoparticle dispersion in both aqueous and solvent formats. Nanophase believes that providing an optimal nanomaterial solution for an application increases the value of the Company's products and decreases the time-to-market for new product introductions. Nanophase also noted that it continues to obtain new customers and receive associated orders for its nanomaterial solutions, consistent with the Company's business development initiatives in several markets. The Company recently obtained an order for a filtration application and orders from two new customers for Nanophase's line of optics polishing dispersions. Nanophase Technologies Corporation (NANX), http://www.nanophase.com , is a leader in nanomaterials technologies and provides nanoengineered solutions for multiple industrial product applications. Using a platform of patented and proprietary integrated nanomaterial technologies, the Company creates products with unique performance attributes from two ISO 9001:2000 and ISO 14001 facilities. Nanophase delivers commercial quantity and quality nanoparticles, coated nanoparticles, and nanoparticle dispersions in a variety of media. The Company owns or licenses 22 United States and 50 foreign patents and patent applications. Information about Nanophase may be found in the Company's public filings or on its website.

Trio X with Joe McPhee on tenor for the Suoni Per il Popolo Music Festival in Montreal, Canada 2006 playing a mix of standards and original compositions.
Trio X
AIR: Above and Beyond
Label: CIMPOL
Released in: USA
"The Suoni Per il Popolo Music Festival was established in 2000 and basically supports and exposes (in a word) independent music. Invited in 2006, this Trio X document comes from those sets and follows, by a day, the duet concerts with Dominic Duval and Joe McPhee. The previous night's concert energized Joe into a fitful night's sleep and he, Dominic, and Jay Rosen, all took afternoon naps and were well rested for this night's adventures.
And what an adventure it was, mainly due to Trio X's constantly evolving program. Their track record of arriving at and sustaining an elevated level of inspired musical artistry has been consistently high. Yet this is still an unpredictable muse, not a science. And when you add to this the vagaries and pitfalls of recording in what is basically an uncontrolled environment of air-conditioning hum, squeaky doors, audience noise, an active bar, street noise and other ambiant distractions, the probability of a worthy and successful recording documentation diminishes.
For this outing of Trio X, Joe decided to concentrate on tenor sax; in this case a tenor which, for the first set, he played with a bass clarinet reed.
Intros were made, lights were lowered, and Jay-mallets in hand-then Dominic, set the course for Fried Grapefruit which quickly absorbed the audience in its completeness. I was reminded that Jay and Dominic, over a decade prior to Trio X (founded in 1998), had worked together induo and in fact recorded an entire CD in that format (The Wedding Band, CIMP 137). At the end of Jay and Dominic's overture, Joe, mesmerized by their playing, (I think) was caught a bit off-guard as he stepped up with a couple of instinctive toots. Even so he immediately got his footing and thenjoined the group for what turned out to be an outstandingly beautiful and strong performance, easily trumping any of the ambient noises that disinterestedly intruded. A fine fine example of the best in statement, timing, pacing, and transitions.
Following this tour-de-force (and while Jay made somerepairs on the bass drum pedal and Joe adjusted his sax pads) was a rather seamless down moment as Dominic and bass mused on. Jay (by now having made his repairs) joined in and Joe finally slid in as well for variations and a fiesta of sounds on Jump Spring.
Jay then picked up a thread with a hipdrum feature (21281/2 Indiana), Dominic entered, laid down a bass line, while Joe summoned his individual strength to match, and together the trio was exceeded by the power of the group. So connected with the music are these three that it was both a new beginning and a continuation when Dominic moved into Close Up, a requiem type piece, very much favored by both Joe and Dominic.
For the second set Joe changed to a tenor reed and opened in sax-speak mode (Give Us This Day) before moving into a decidedly Ayler-esque mood. Check out Jay's rather free use of counter time behind Joe and Dominic as the trio moved determinedly to a central point/intersection.
To accommodate a CD's finite length, at this point in the program, we jump to the end of the second set which picks up with Dominic referencing a group favorite, Here's That Rainy Day. At its conclusion it seemed as though the evening's music had ended, but in the background Dominic made the signal for more. And more followed in the form of A Valentine in the Fog of War, a reprisal from their 2004 CIMP (#328) recording."-CIMP

The summer circuit has just about come to a close, but as athletes prep for their fall sports, we're starting to see an influx of verbal commitments. Six 2016's, eight 2015's and nine 2014's are all off the board.
If you have a confirmed Division I verbal - if you're the recruit, parent or club/HS coach - email email@example.com and/or email@example.com to have your commitment posted. Please include your stats/honors, events attended in the summer of 2013 (plus club teams, All-Star Games) and schools strongly considered. Please include a highlight video if possible, and anything else you may find important.
Note: As we begin the process for the Top 25 Young Gun Sophomore rankings, I'll be accepting player résumés and highlight reels in my inbox for evaluation. E-mail the address above or tweet links at @tyxanders and I'll take a look. Rankings will be out in late September.
We have made updates to the Lacrosse Forums, so make sure to check out how all of the recruiting classes stack up:
Class of 2016 (updated 7/30)
Class of 2015 (updated 7/30)
Class of 2014 (updated 7/24)
If anybody is missing or hasn't yet submitted their commitment to IL, feel free to get in touch with one of us.

How many threads have you specified as max_threads in your PoolTCPConnector for ajp13 in your server.xml file? If you haven't done this, and you're running a reasonably high load, you should take a look at the minimal TC user's guide here: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-3.2-doc/uguide/tomcat_ug.html The last example at the bottom of the page shows how to configure max_threads, max_spare_threads, and min_spare_threads for the PoolTCPConnector class. Tomcat doesn't react gracefully if the max_threads number is ever reached and exceeded. I believe the default max is 50 threads. If you're getting more than 50 concurrent connections, you need to raise this number or you'll have problems.

I have had a large clump of Canada lilies growing in a large container in my
breezeway - this way they are somewhat protected from the deer. There were 14
stems, each with at least a dozen buds - going to be quite a sight. Looked
out and saw one of the stems shaking - went to see what it was and there was a
chipmunk grasping the stem and eating the flower buds! I have been overrun
with the blasted things this year. We've always had them, but the cats used to
keep them under control, and I never knew them to do anything worse than
digging in some of my containers. This year the cats just sit there, and they are
digging up everything, but this is the first time I have seen them actually
eating the flower buds. I'm ready to have chipmunk stew.

Thanks for visiting. I grew up right here and graduated from Arapahoe High School. I'll bring a fresh perspective to the legislature that's rooted in our Colorado values of opportunity, independence, and responsibility. As Coloradans, we know government works best when people work together. In the legislature, I won't let partisanship get in the way of our frontier spirit of solving problems together.
So far on our campaign I've walked hundreds of miles to have personal, one-on-one conversations with thousands of people at their doors. I've loved hearing your neighbor's stories and I want to hear yours. Please reach out anytime:
Personal Cell Phone: (303) 358-5551

The conversations I've had at the doors are the best part of running for office. I believe it's important to meet people where they live. To listen to what folks care about, hear their struggles, and learn how we can make a real difference in people's lives with a government that actually works.
I look forward to meeting you and serving you in the State House.

"Jeff connects with people on a values level, and uses that gift to overcome partisanship and political obstructionism. He knows there's more that unites us as Coloradans than divides us. That's why Jeff is my pick to represent the neighborhood where he grew up, and to win a tough election in a competitive seat."
"As a native Coloradan, Jeff has a long history of service to our state at both the local and national level. He has a heart for service, strong Colorado values, and will be an invaluable friend to have in the state legislature."
"I've known Jeff for almost two decades. Serving our state both here at home and in our nation's capitol, he has shown a deep commitment to people from across Colorado. He has a good heart, and we need his leadership in the Colorado House."

Partisan gridlock has long paralyzed our representatives in Washington. Here in Colorado, the Denver Post reported that this last legislative session was the most partisan and least productive in our state's history. Colorado can do better. Throughout my career, the best things I've done have been by bringing people together—across parties, across ideologies, and even across faiths.
When I worked for Ken Salazar in the US Senate, we received a letter from a Coloradan serving in Iraq whose friend was killed by an IED. I brought together Democrats and Republicans for a program that's still saving military lives. In the legislature, I will continue to fight to protect our Colorado families.
As part of the Colorado Conservation Voters board of directors, I helped elect a bipartisan, pro-conservation majority that increased our state's renewable energy standards, expanding our renewable energy economy. In the legislature, I will continue to fight for good-paying jobs for Colorado families.
A few years ago, President Obama signed an executive order banning LGBT discrimination by federal contractors and employers. He faced significant pressure to include a Hobby Lobby-style religious exemption, which would have made the whole thing toothless. As Associate Vice President at Union Theological Seminary, I connected people from across faiths—including Protestants, Catholics, Muslims and Jews—who were opposed to the exemption. By bringing people together, we protected the rights of our LGBT brothers and sisters. In the legislature, I will continue to fight for equality for all people regardless of race, religion, gender, or sexual orientation.
I'm the only one in this race who has legislative experience. I'm also the only one who grew up here. I've worked with Coloradans from the Eastern Plains, the Western Slope, the San Luis Valley, and all along the Front Range. I have deep local roots and a unique perspective on the challenges faced by those from across all of Colorado. I also have a master's degree in divinity so I know how to bring people together around our shared values. In the legislature, I will build the diverse coalitions we need to pass legislation that will move our local community forward.

AUBURN — Auburn quarterback Nick Marshall was cited for less than an ounce of marijuana Friday in Taylor County, Ga.
He was not arrested.
According to Reynolds, Ga., police chief Lonnie Holder, Marshall was pulled over at 12:45 p.m. Friday on Georgia Highway 96 East. Holder said the stop occurred because of a "window tint" violation on a purple Dodge Charger that Marshall was driving.
"Upon approaching the vehicle, the officer detected an odor of marijuana," Holder said, noting Marshall was the only person in the vehicle. "At that time, a consent to search the vehicle was requested and granted."
Asked where the marijuana was located, Marshall informed the officer it was above his visor.
"At that time we located the marijuana and we detained him for just a little while for his safety and ours," Holder said. "He was given two citations, one for window tint violation and another for possession of marijuana of less than an ounce."
Holder said the amount of marijuana on Marshall came out to "eight or nine grams."
A court date was set for Sept. 10 at 10 a.m., though Holder said Marshall will not have to appear if he pays the fines for the citations beforehand.
Neither Auburn's athletics department nor coach Gus Malzahn has issued a statement on Marshall's citation.
A native of Rochelle, Ga., Marshall was chosen as one of Auburn's three players representative for the SEC's annual media days event, which begins next week.
As the defending conference champions, the Tigers are set to kick off the event Monday.
Last season, Marshall threw for 1,976 yards and 14 touchdowns and added 1,068 rushing yards and 12 scores on the ground. After coming out on top of a four-way quarterback battle in fall camp, Marshall led the Tigers to a 12-2 record en route to the SEC championship and a berth in the BCS title game.
Starring at quarterback at tiny Wilcox County High School, Marshall lifted the Patriots to a Class A state championship in 2009. He then signed with Georgia. But with Aaron Murray set as the Bulldogs' starting quarterback, Marshall was used as a defensive back, taking part in 13 games for Georgia during the 2011 campaign.
Marshall's career at Georgia came to an end in the spring of 2012, when he was dismissed for an undisclosed violation of team rules which reportedly involved stealing from a teammate.
Upon his dismissal from Georgia, Marshall transferred to Garden City Community College in Garden City, Kan., and made the decision to return to playing quarterback.
In his one season with the Broncbusters, Marshall passed for 3,142 yards and led the team in rushing with 1,095 yards and accounted for 37 touchdowns (19 rushing, 18 passing).
After spending one season at Garden City, Marshall signed with Auburn, becoming one of the crown jewels of Malzahn's first recruiting class in 2013.

The UCLA site has a 25-year history of outstanding performance as a clinical site of the MACS, maintaining current status information on over 88.5% of the 1637 participants. The empathetic, committed staff, most of whom have been with the study for more than 15 years (and some for 25 years), has been cited by participants as a key to their continued commitment to the UCLA MACS. State-of-the-art laboratory procedures have been implemented, and quality assurance procedures put in place. The Center has recruited an outstanding group of UCLA investigators to participate in the MACS, and to assume leadership roles in various scientific areas, taking leadership for 52 research publications since 2003 and contributing to 60 other MACS scientific papers. The objectives of the UCLA MACS Clinical Center are to: 1) Maintain the cohorts of men recruited in 1984-5 and the men more recently recruited in 2002-3 (primarily Hispanic-Americans and African-Americans); 2) Collect specific behavioral, clinical and psychosocial data, and laboratory specimens from the men; 3) Process laboratory specimens for the local and national specimen repositories of serum, plasma, and cells and to perform flow cytometry and serologic measurements on these samples from Los Angeles participants; 4) Maintain the local repository for use by local investigators; 5) Contribute to ongoing and future studies of cardiovascular complications, renal function, liver diseases, neurocognitive impairment, malignancies, aging, and genomic characteristics of MACS participants; 6) Contribute scientific leadership to the MACS through leadership of several MACS working groups (Core Laboratory, Malignancies/Pathology, Neuropsychology), organization of quality control procedures, leadership in key MACS papers and participation in others, and active participation in the bi-monthly conference calls and meetings of the MACS; 7) Recruit both experienced and new investigators who bring new scientific insights and skills that will enhance the quality and breadth of science in the MACS.
The MACS incorporates a large database of information and biologic specimens collected every six months from 6,972 men followed since 1985-5 (primarily European-American) and 2002-3 (primarily Latino and African-American), and allows continuing observation of the 3243 survivors. Thus, the MACS provides an irreplaceable resource for continued study of the natural history of treated and untreated HIV infection and AIDS.

It was while a beautiful doctor named Maggie Doyle was packing some things in the lounge of County General Hospital that a fellow doctor whose name happens to be John Carter had stepped into the room and said,"I just came in to have some coffee.Look,Maggie.I really am sorry about how much of a bad time that Doctor Romano had given you."That had made Maggie turn around and say,"It's okay,John.You don't have to worry about me.I had just suddenly realized that I need to have something new done in my life instead of staying here and be a target for male chauvinistic pigs like Robert Romano!"
"Well,Maggie.If you were toask me,It's either you do what you want to...or die unhappy.And if that's not the truth,then I don't know what is.So,where are you planning on going to?",that was what John had asked Maggie after he had sat down with his cup of coffee and before she had rolled her eyes and said,"Maybe I'll move myself to New York.Maybe not.Whatever I decide,I'll be out of Chicago because I had too many bad things happen to me around here."
That had made an understanding John place a gentle hand on Maggie's arm,smiled and said,"Well,whereever you decide to move yourself to,I just want you to know that there will be a lot of people who are going to miss you...and I happen to be one of them.",which had made a smiling Maggie give John a big friendly hug and say,"Thanks,John.I'm going to miss you,too.",before he had carried her box of stuff outside and to her car and waved 'goodbye'.

Housing Justice for all.
That anyone in Canada has to spend a night on the street is an indictment against all levels of government in this country. By not ensuring safe, clean housing for all its citizens, Canada has failed its homeless and vulnerably housed. The human and social costs of homelessness are staggering. It's estimated that each year 250,000 people across Canada are without a safe place to call home. Pivot's Housing Justice campaign represents those who are vulnerably housed or experiencing homelessness to protect their rights, combining legal action with political advocacy and public engagement to fight for the establishment of a constitutional right to housing in Canada.

Abbotsford homeless lawsuit
After years of criminalization and displacement, the Supreme Court of B.C. delivered a groundbreaking ruling in favour of a community of homeless people Pivot represented in a challenge to bylaws in Abbotsford. In a decision delivered in October 2015, the Court found that City bylaws prohibiting homeless people from sleeping in public places violate Section 7 of the Charter, which protects individuals' safety and security of person. The Court also denied the City's request for a permanent ban on homeless camping. In striking down the bylaws, the Supreme Court of B.C. ruling recognizes the right to shelter in public space between the hours of 7:00 p.m. and 9:00 a.m. and represents a crucial first step in establishing a right to housing in Canada.
Access to justice for homeless people
Single Room Occupancy Hotels provide some of the only affordable rental housing for Vancouver's poorest residents. These hotels are often infested with bugs and rodents, lacking functioning heat or plumbing and generally in states of disrepair. The City of Vancouver has long had the power to rectify some of these problems through the Standards of Maintenance Bylaw, which gives the City the power to enter a building and make essential repairs if the landlord refuses to do so, and then the bill the landlord through the property tax roll. However, enforcement of the Bylaw was declining as Vancouver's housing crisis continued to grow. When the Picadilly Hotel was closed due to long-standing building standards violations in 2007, Pivot sued the City for its failure to enforce the Bylaw. In March of 2009, following discussions with Pivot, City Council finally resolved to pursue stronger enforcement. With the support of the counsel behind it, the Bylaw is working and much-needed repairs are going ahead at several buildings.

The unity of the coalition government was under strain last night as the deputy leader of the Liberal Democrats threatened to try to rewrite parts of George Osborne's austerity Budget.
Simon Hughes spoke out amid fears on his party's back benches that the poorest families would bear an unfair share of the dramatic squeeze on public spending and benefits.
Plans to raise VAT to 20 per cent in January and a threat to the winter fuel allowance paid to pensioners have intensified the jitters among Nick Clegg's MPs over the tough economic medicine being administered.
The Government announced plans yesterday for a fundamental overhaul of a pensions system it condemned as "outdated and inadequate". The state pension age will be raised to 66 as early as 2016 and private sector workers forced to sign up to company pension schemes. It could in the decades ahead be raised to 70 and beyond.
Mr Hughes told the Commons there would be "trouble" if ministers attempted to renege on their commitment to protect allowances paid to the elderly. He said: "The coalition deal is a deal and what has been agreed must stand – and there cannot be any unpicking of items in that deal, otherwise the whole thing risks falling apart.
"The deal has to be that we go down the committed road. We signed up and the Conservatives signed up, all compromising where appropriate, and that must stand. If there is any suggestion that it changes, there clearly would be trouble."
He made clear his qualms about the rise in VAT, which he warned was "less progressive" than income tax. He accepted the increase was necessary to "fill a huge gap Labour has left us" and would support Mr Osborne's package in next week's Second Reading vote on the Budget.
But he warned that backbench Liberal Democrats could attempt to amend key parts of the Budget later when it faces line-by-line scrutiny in the Commons. "If there are measures in the Finance Bill, where we can improve fairness and make for a fairer Britain then we will come forward with amendments to do that because that is where we make the difference."
His anxieties are shared by Liberal Democrat MPs who have privately discussed their tactics in responding to the Budget. Bob Russell, MP for Colchester, has already said he would find it difficult to vote in favour of the VAT rise. Tim Farron, the MP for Westmorland and Lonsdale, who is on the left of the party, has said he supports the Budget plans for now – but that the coalition must be prepared to look at other measures if the economy plunges into a double-dip recession.
Mr Osborne says he is looking for extra benefits cuts on top of the £11bn set out in the Budget – cash that would be used to limit the savage spending cuts to be announced in October.
Iain Duncan Smith, the Work and Pensions Secretary, signalled that benefits to the elderly could be in the Government's sights – even though they were guaranteed in the coalition agreement. Asked about the "sustainability" of the winter fuel allowance and free bus travel for pensioners, Mr Duncan Smith replied: "That is something I have to look at obviously."
Under the pension plans set out yesterday, the state pension age for men would rise from 65 to 66 from 2016 – a decade earlier than the last government was planning. Ministers raised the possibility of increasing the pension age to 70 and even older.
Only one-third of private sector staff are currently in pensions schemes. The Government wants them to be automatically enrolled, but allowed to opt out.
The number of full-time undergraduates will plummet by 20 per cent over the next five years, it was forecast yesterday. The dramatic cut – brought about as a result of rising debts and spending restrictions – would mean nearly 100,000 fewer students taking up full-time university courses a year.
The forecast was made at a conference in London yesterday by Chris Morecroft, chairman of the Association of Colleges' higher education group.
Explainer: Raising the pension age
What changes is the Government making?
The coalition plans to raise the pension age in 2016 to 66 for men and from 2020 for women. There is also talk of increasing the pension age to 70 or more over the next few decades, replacing the previous government's plans to increase the state pension age to 68 by 2046. The coalition also intends to abolish the existing default retirement age of 65, which means employers won't be able to dismiss workers just because they reach a certain age. Finally, the Government has confirmed plans to auto-enrol people into workplace pensions from 2012.
What have they not said today?
The subtext of today's announcements – and similar pension announcements from the previous government – is that if you don't start saving for your retirement now, you'll end up practically penniless with few choices when you finish working. The message from Iain Duncan Smith yesterday was: "Everyone needs to take responsibility for achieving the income in retirement they aspire to."
I'm in my twenties. Do I really need to think about this now?
It is a long way off but, presuming we all live that long, the fact that you may have to work longer before you can draw a state pension is not a cheery thought. However, if you are in your twenties you're in the best position to avoid having to work until you're 70. Saving now for your retirement will allow you to build up a decent nest-egg to give yourself the choice of retiring earlier – much earlier – if you wish.
Doesn't it discriminate against manual workers who might be exhausted by 60?
The National Pensioners Convention (NPC) warns that raising the retirement age will see some people being forced to work until they drop. "The wealthier you are, the longer you live, so raising the retirement age therefore is a direct attack on the very poorest in our society," says Dot Gibson, general secretary of the NPC. According to the latest NHS figures, men in Blackpool live to 73.2 years on average, which would give them just over three years to enjoy their retirement. Men in Kensington and Chelsea, by contrast, have a life expectancy of 84.7.
Will it lead to fewer jobs for graduates, as not as many older people will be retiring?
That's the concern of some. Compared to today, the number of people over 65 will be half as many again in 2030, and will have doubled by 2060, according to the Department for Work and Pensions. If more are being forced to work, there could be fewer jobs for graduates. But a more likely scenario is that today's young people will build up decent pension pots through the auto-enrolment scheme, which will force employers to set up retirement schemes. If so, their savings should be decent enough for them to be able to retire earlier, meaning they won't need to rely on the paltry state pension payouts which look likely to be on offer at the time. Then if more people retire early, more jobs will become available for graduates.
I'm 64 and have already made plans for retirement. What happens if it goes up to 70?
It won't happen in your working lifetime. In fact you'll be retired by the time the age climbs to 66. The increase will only hit people who are due to retire at 65 from 2016 onwards.
Do I actually have to do anything or is this all automatic?
With regards to the state pension, which is what this is all about, you need to do nothing. It will all happen automatically and you'll be told if your retirement age is changing. However, the important message for anyone in their twenties, thirties or forties is to start saving now for your retirement, if you haven't already. If you don't, you'll be left with very little choice when you reach your late sixties.
I have a pension but have no idea what I've accumulated so far. How do I find out?
You need to contact your pension providers. That could be your current employer's scheme, or that of previous firms you've worked for. If you have a private pension you'll need to contact the bank, life assurance company or building society that administers it. If you've lost track of your pension, contact the Pension Tracing Service.
