In 2002, 1,500 babies were born every day with HIV. Ten years later, that number was cut in half. The goal? To get that number close to zero. Mother-to-child transmission of HIV is preventable, and treatment costs as little as 30 cents a day.
Meet Mary from Maraigushu, Kenya. HIV positive since 2011, with three beautiful children — each born HIV free. Mary represents progress. Her battle is tough, but she's proof that the fight to eliminate AIDS is winnable.
Now we need to create more stories like Mary's. That means more access to medicine. Better education and infrastructure. And more Community Health Workers like Mary's friend Grace, who's on the ground in Mary's village, overseeing treatment, providing emotional support, and making a difference.
Many more still need help. That's why Bank of America has joined forces with (RED) to provide financial support to the The Global Fund. We now have a historic opportunity to seize upon new advances in treatment, invest more strategically, and engage the right people effectively in the fight against AIDS. (RED) has raised over 350 million dollars and impacted over 70 million people. But the work isn't done yet.
If we're going to make meaningful progress toward the end of AIDS, it's going to take all of us. So Bank of America, in partnership with (RED), invites you to join us in helping to deliver an AIDS free generation.
Mary's personal story is part of a bigger story. The end of AIDS is in sight.
The treatment exists.

Solving the Energy Challenge
With Sarbjit Nahal
Head of Thematic Investing
BofA Merrill Lynch Global Research
Recorded on November 6, 2013
Please see important information at the end of the program
Hi, I'm Sarj Nahal, head of the thematic investing strategy team. What we try to do in our day-to-day work is look at some of the big picture issues, the megatrends that we think are changing the world that we live in. Issues that we might not think about on a day-to-day basis, but from the long term perspective are going to change the way we operate, which are going to change the way we live, which are going to change the operating environment for corporations.
The Future Is About Efficiency
Let's take an issue like energy.
By 2030, global energy demand could increase by 33% to 50%
Source: International Energy Agency
If we look forward to 2030, global energy demand is going to increase by anywhere from 1/3 to 50%. We think that current energy use is unsustainable.
The world currently spends about 9% of global GDP on energy
Source: IMF, BP, Bloomberg, BofA Merrill Lynch Global Commodities Research
We're currently spending 9% of global GDP on energy. That's simply not affordable, particularly for a lot of emerging markets. We think energy efficiency provides a simple answer. Think of the fridge that you had in 1973, think of the fridge that you have today. Today's fridge consumes 60 to 70% less energy and is able to do far more. And we're seeing those same sorts of trends happening in the auto sector, the building sector, industrials as well as the IT sector.
I think auto is an excellent example of energy efficiency in action. If we take a look around the world, fuel economy standards are ramping up significantly.
U.S. fuel economy standards are on track to reach 56 miles per gallon by 2025
Source: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
In the U.S., we're now looking at a target of 56 miles per gallon by 2025. That's going to represent a significant jump from the 34 miles per gallon that we're currently at today. This is going to mean a significant sea change for the automakers. Increasingly, they're going to have to be looking towards downsizing the engine, reducing weight.
Reducing the weight of a vehicle improves efficiency by 6 to 8%
Source NHTSA, EPA, BA, BofA Merrill Lynch Global Research
You reduce the weight of a vehicle by 10% you improve the efficiency by 6 to 8%. Things like adding in a turbocharger, you improve the efficiency of the engine by 30%, you reduce carbon emissions by 20%. It's also about identifying some of the hidden issues that aren't so evident. Take a look at data centers.
Data centers in developed countries represent 5 to 8% of total electricity use
Source BofA Merrill Lynch Global Research
Data centers now represent between 5 to 8% of global electricity use in Western developed markets. They've actually overtaken airlines as a source of carbon emissions. Now, from a long term perspective we think this is all about reducing costs. Rather than setting up a data center in Death Valley, why not set it up off the coast of Finland where you can use simple technologies like free cooling or channeling through cold sea water and totally eliminate the need for air conditioning.
It's clear that these issues are going to be changing the way that we live, we operate ... And increasingly, we can use our power as investors to change this for the positive.

From zero to $254 million, how the Pujols deal got done
DALLAS – The telephone rang at 7:30 in the morning Thursday in room 1882 of the Tower Building at the Anatole Hotel.
It was Albert Pujols, who uttered the words to agent Dan Lozano that would dramatically change baseball's landscape.
"The Angels," he said, "are the ones tugging on my heart."
MORE: Pujols: A shock for St. Louis, a jolt for baseball
MORE: Angels, Cardinals, Marlins size up what's next
PHOTOS: MLB's largest total contracts
Pujols agreed to a stunning 10-year contract for $254 million with the Los Angeles Angels, shocking fans and front offices from Anaheim to St. Louis to Miami and beyond.
Pujols, who had four contract offers worth in excess of $200 million — including $275 million from the Marlins, $210 million from the Cardinals and $225 million from a mystery team — wound up with the second-largest deal in baseball history, concluding one of the most titillating negotiations since the advent of free agency nearly 40 years ago.
Angels owner Arte Moreno, who purchased the franchise for $183 million in 2003, committed to spend nearly twice as much money in two hours Thursday for Pujols and Texas Rangers left-hander C.J. Wilson (five years, $77.5 million) than he did for the entire franchise.
What follows is a behind-the-scenes look at how the deal came together based on interviews with more than a dozen scouts, front office executives, player agents and players close to Pujols. Many requested anonymity due to the sensitive nature of some material.
Frustrated by Cards
Los Angeles Dodgers manager Don Mattingly participated in Pujols' charity tournament Saturday. They had become friends over the years and Mattingly sensed something was awry in Pujols' relationship with the Cardinals' front office.
"There was a frustration there," said Mattingly, who grew up a Cardinals' fan in Evansville, Ind. "You could just sense something was wrong. He was getting frustrated by it.
"I hoped he would stay in St. Louis because he's such a legend there. He's like [Derek] Jeter and Cal [Ripken], but I also knew he would go where his heart would take him. People talk about the money, but I knew he would be following his heart."
Pujols' frustration stemmed from two years of not being able to come to an agreement with the Cardinals on a long-term contract extension and sensing the team didn't view him as a priority. He helped the team to the World Series championship this season in the final year of an eight-year, $116 million deal.
They made an offer in February worth about $195 million for nine years. Pujols, who wanted a 10-year deal, declined. They agreed to shut down negotiations until the season ended, but when free agency opened on Oct. 30, the Cardinals took the offer away and supplemented it with much shorter-term deals. Pujols, people said, almost felt as if the team was daring him to leave.
In came the Marlins, who wined and dined the three-time NL MVP. They took him to Joe's Stone Crab Restaurant in Miami and showed him the sights. They gave him a tour of their new ballpark, with pictures of Pujols wearing a Marlins' uniform beamed to the video boards and TV sets through the stadium. They also put their dream 2012 opening-day lineup on the scoreboard, with shortstop Jose Reyes, who would eventually sign a six-year, $106 million contract, batting leadoff and Pujols hitting cleanup.
The Marlins were relentless. They kept increasing their offer. Again. And again. When they arrived Sunday at the winter meetings, they expected to be leaving town with Pujols.
Just to make sure, they offered the richest contract in baseball history at 10 years for $275 million. There wasn't a penny deferred, and with incentives and factoring in no state tax in Florida, the deal could be worth nearly $300 million.
But Pujols wasn't ready to commit. The Marlins had stuck to their club policy and refused to give him a no-trade clause. Pujols also was aware that incumbent shortstop Hanley Ramirez was troubled by having to move to third base for Reyes. And despite a pair of World Series titles, the Marlins' franchise has all of the tradition of a strip mall with six winning seasons in 19 years.
The Marlins thought Pujols might agree on Monday, knowing their offer blew away the Cardinals' deal. Maybe it would have happened. But another team stepped in and ruined Miami's plans. The team, which refuses to be publicly identified, offered Pujols a 10-year, $225 million deal. Pujols was intrigued. If he didn't return to St. Louis, this team might be the perfect fit.
Then on Tuesday the Cardinals offered Pujols a contract potentially worth $210 million but for nine years, with a 10th-year option that would kick in if he met performance thresholds. It was an improvement over their previous proposals but still short of what else was on the table.
Still Pujols wanted to return to St. Louis.
It was at this time that Pujols eliminated the Marlins, and by late Tuesday it was a two-team race between the Cardinals and the mystery team. A few hours later, though, the phone rang in Lozano's suite, and it was Angels general manager Jerry DiPoto wanting to talk.
"About who?" Lozano said, who also represents free-agent shortstop Jimmy Rollins and outfielder Carlos Beltran.
"We want to talk about Albert Pujols," Dipoto said.
Lozano was stunned. The bigger surprise came at 9 the next morning. The Angels offered a 10-year contract for about $250 million. The deal included incentives that could make it worth nearly $280 million. No deferred money. And a full-no trade clause. Yes, they were serious.
Moreno, who watched the Angels fall short in recent years trying to lure free agents Carl Crawford, Mark Teixeira, Adrian Beltre and CC Sabathia, took the reins. He made two impassioned calls to Pujols. He told Pujols that they planned to also sign Wilson. They weren't going to stop being aggressive in the market until they won a World Series championship, their first since 2002 and first under Moreno.
Pujols told Lozano that he and his wife, Deidre, would pray on their decision that night.
'Is this for real?'
Lozano sat in his suite at 1 in the morning Thursday with his three-member staff, watching ESPN and munching on potato chips. He had been so busy Wednesday that he didn't even shower until 4 p.m. and never left the hotel during his four-day stay. He went to bed expecting Pujols to call at some point Thursday but figured it would take days to finalize a deal.
The phone call from Pujols came at 7:30 a.m. Five minutes later, Lozano called DiPoto, who had been up most of the night finalizing Wilson's deal. The rookie GM broke the news to his front-office staff, a group that's been together for less than two months.
"We just looked at each other," said Angels assistant GM Scott Servais, "and said, 'Is this for real?' …I mean, everybody assumed, especially during the World Series, that he would stay in St. Louis. We were all so tired it was surreal."
The next calls were made to the mystery team's GM and to Cardinals GM John Mozeliak, who was stunned. He hurriedly packed his suitcase, left his suite and headed to the airport without telling most of his staff.
"We are disappointed that we were unable to reach an agreement to keep Albert Pujols in St. Louis," Cardinals chairman Bill DeWitt said in a prepared statement a couple of hours later. "I would like our fans to know that we tried our best to make Albert a lifetime Cardinal but unfortunately we were unable to make it happen."
At a news conference later, Mozeliak said he talked with Pujols: "It was simply about wishing well and reflecting back on his time here. It was a very pleasant conversation and one we both feel good about."
He would not comment on the Cardinals' offer.
"I'm not going to get into terms. I can assure you it was a robust offer."
The news of the signing broke at 8:59 a.m., just minutes before the annual Rule 5 Draft. The room full of baseball scouts and executives was stunned. Mets GM Sandy Alderson, who was in a similar spot spot 11 years ago when Alex Rodriguez signed a record 10-year, $252 million deal (since broken by Rodriguez at $275 million) with the Rangers at the same hotel, was incredulous but not nearly as outraged as in 2000.
"There must be a strain of legionnaires' disease in here," Alderson said. "I think every club that has signed a 10-year contact has regretted it. But, of course, only one other team has."
While just about everyone else was numb, the Angels were delirious. Outfielder Torii Hunter and right-hander LaTroy Hawkins, who agreed to a free-agent deal on Wednesday, were working out with Pirates closer Joel Hanrahan in Frisco, Texas. Hanrahan took a break to check his phone, saw the tweet messages announcing the Pujols deal and walked over to show Hunter and Hawkins. They immediately raced to their phones.
"I had 65 text messages and 12 phone calls," Hawkins said. "I mean, this just came out of nowhere."
And they were gone
Lozano, who had an 11:50 a.m. flight back to Los Angeles, didn't have time to celebrate. To prevent a mob scene with the media in the lobby, he and a staff member were taken by hotel security to a service elevator that led them to the loading dock where a cab was waiting.
And they were gone.
"This is something that changes a franchise,'' Dipoto said, "and something that changes a community. This is more than just getting a great baseball player.''

Healthy Edibles Dog Chews are all natural, made with real chicken and fortified with vitamins and minerals. Healthy Edibles Corn & Wheat Free chew treats are a healthy snack for dogs with delicate digestive systems. How long will an Edible Chew last? Edibles are "treat" bones. They are meant to be consumed, and are therefore not long lasting chews. Their "lifespan" depends on how determined a chewer your dog is. Edible chews have a shelf life of over five years. It is important that you get to know a dog's chewing style and to select the appropriate type of chew and the proper size and formulation based on a dog's age, breed, chewing style and weight. The pressure exerted by a dog's jaw can put tremendous stress on their teeth. These sizes are guidelines: If your dog is between sizes or is especially powerful, Nylabone recommends choosing a larger size-large enough to encourage chewing from the side, rather than from top to bottom. Many little dogs are powerful chewers and may need a larger size. If you have more than one dog in your household, select chews appropriate for the largest, strongest chewer. Remember to always supervise the use of any dog chew or toy! How many Edible Chews can I give my dog per day? This depends upon the dog's age, weight and activity level. These chews are not recommended for puppies younger than 6 months old. Please check with your veterinarian as to your dog's daily caloric intake and the proper time to introduce Edible chews into your puppy's diet. Is Rawhide safe for my dog? One of the major medical schools in the US conducted a laboratory test to answer this question. The results showed that in groups of test dogs, even in those fed rawhide three times a day, there were no ill effects. Although choking or intestinal obstruction with rawhide could potentially occur, it is quite rare, and common-sense prevention measures should be taken. Make sure you select the appropriate size for your dog.

Drug firm caves, helps dying 7-year-old
(NEWSER) – After a social media campaign—and an avalanche of bad publicity—a drug company has done a U-turn and agreed to give a dying 7-year-old boy an experimental drug that could save his life. The FDA allows "compassionate use"of unapproved drugs in such cases, but the Chimerix pharmaceutical company had insisted that giving the drug to Josh Hardy, who developed a bone marrow disorder after cancer treatment, would delay efforts to get it to market, CNN reports.

They had their greatest expansion after the death of ann lee.
ann lee, an English woman, came to this country in 1774, and founded the Shaker societies.
It is known that a part of the worship of the believers in mother ann lee, as the Shakers call themselves, consists in dancing.
ann lee was the wife of a blacksmith in Manchester, England, and had been the mother of several children.
And something like this, we understand, is claimed by the Shakers in regard to ann lee.
Old English hleo "shelter, cover, defense, protection," from Proto-Germanic *khlewaz (cf. Old Norse hle, Danish læ, Old Saxon hleo, Dutch lij "lee, shelter"). No known cognates outside Germanic; original sense uncertain and might have been "warm" (cf. German lau "tepid," Old Norse hly "shelter, warmth"), which might link it to PIE *kele- (1) "warm." As an adjective, 1510s, from the noun.

text: Set during the last lingering moments of WWII, when Japanese patriotism veered toward lunacy in the face of imminent defeat, Doctor Akagi is the latest, and by all accounts last, film by 73-year-old director Shohei Imamura, who recently announced his retirement. It's too bad, because Doctor Akagi's black comedy is almost as strong as Imamura's previous Cannes-lauded film The Eel. Based on a novel by Ango Sakaguchi, the movie centers on Akira Emoto, nicknamed "Doctor Liver" due to his Quixote-like dedication to the eradication of hepatitis. As with The Eel, Doctor Akagi is filled with a rogue's gallery of eccentrics: There's a young do-gooder prostitute smitten with Emoto, a morphine-addicted surgeon who helps him abscond with a fresh liver to study, and a drunk priest, all of whom support Emoto even as he is branded a quack by the small-town clients who have tired of his proselytizing. Also like The Eel, Imamura switches uneasily from graphic violence to situation comedy, as if the blood he spills on screen serves as penance for laughing in the face of war and death. Doctor Akagi, however, is more than just an anti-war film: It's a movie about life in a small town that won't be hindered or distracted by air raids or epidemics. Though oddly paced at times and often sillysome of the acting is straight out of a '40s screwball farce, like a Japanese Billy Wilder movieDoctor Akagi is a nice, sweetly nostalgic portrait of a brief and strange moment in history, one squeezed between the surrender of Germany and the dropping of the atomic bomb.

OffBEAT with Johnny Marr
Listen to Johnny Marr on iHeartRadio
Johnny Marr is perhaps best known for being the iconic guitarist and co-songwriter for The Smiths in the eighties, and he's also been a member of bands Electronic, The The, Modest Mouse and, most recently, The Cribs. Now he's stepping out on his own with his first solo album, The Messenger.

Buy The Messenger at the Amazon MP3 store
Johnny Marr stopped by iHeartRadio recently to talk about his solo debut and the artwork that inspird him. Check out what he had to say in OffBEAT with Johnny Marr.
iHeartRadio: Identify five (or more) pieces of art that have inspired you.
Johnny Marr: Killer question. There's a lot of stuff. I like so much art – my love of art kept me buoyed throughout making the record.
When you're writing, producing and singing a record, it's all consuming. Or it should be all consuming. This record took me six months to make, but during that time, when I needed a break or inspiration, I looked towards all types of art.
1. David Hockney's new collection of paintings of the northern landscapes. To see somebody still so inspired, getting out into the bleak northern landscapes at 5:30 in the morning, and absolutely making some really great work, that was really, totally inspiring.
2. The clothes of Fred Perry in this year's collection - that's got to be an inspiration. Okay, call me shallow, but it's very important. You've got to be dressed just suitably to make your record.
3. A clever book by the German philosopher Friedrich Schiller, On the Aesthetic Education of Man. And Thus Spoke Zarathustra by Nietzsche inspired me as well. This is all true.
4. All the photographs of William Eggleston - the American photographer I've been really getting into this year.
5. There is an amazing woman, a filmmaker from the Sixties, Vera Chytilova. She made a really goofy weird movie about these two girls called Daisies.
6. The film Hobson's Choice - The Smiths used to watch all the time about Manchester. (Sampled in The Smiths song "Sheila Take A Bow.")
It's nice to think about all that stuff.
The Messenger is available now.

Memo To Right-Wing Media: Gabby Giffords And Newtown Families Are Not Props
Blog ››› ››› TIMOTHY JOHNSON
The argument by conservative media that former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and other survivors of gun violence who supported a failed Senate compromise to expand background checks on firearms sales are "props" of the Obama administration is both hypocritically partisan and logically flawed.
Right-wing media are unable to acknowledge that President Obama's gun violence prevention agenda mirrors the priorities of gun violence survivors, who are not mere "props," to pass stronger gun laws. As Greg Sargent of The Washington Post notes, "the families want to stand with the President at events for a fairly obvious reason: Obama is fighting for the same things they want":
All of this aside, the "props" line is actually an insult to the families, posing as a defense of them. It implies that the families, in lobbying on these issues, are not thinking for themselves. In reality, the families want to stand with the President at events for a fairly obvious reason: Obama is fighting for the same things they want. Indeed, one of the family members, Mark Barden, who lost his son Daniel in the shooting, voluntarily stood with the president at the White House yesterday as Obama reacted to news of the Senate vote, and thanked Obama for his leadership. Needless to say, if Barden felt like he was being exploited or used as a prop, he wouldn't be thanking the president. [emphasis in original]
Logical flaws aside, those who would call Newtown families and other gun violence survivors "props" fail to acknowledge that presidents routinely evoke the experiences of victims in advocating for policies that would prevent future tragedies.
In 1991, former President Ronald Reagan evoked his own experience of being shot by a would-be assassin, as well as the experiences of others wounded in the 1981 attack in order to advocate for background checks on gun sales. In a New York Times op-ed Reagan wrote about his press secretary, Jim Brady, who was grievously wounded in the attack by a man who acquired a gun despite a lengthy history of serious mental illness. Brady would go on to lend his name to the legislation -- the Brady bill -- that mandated a background check for gun sales conducted by licensed dealers:
It was on that day 10 years ago that a deranged young man standing among reporters and photographers shot a policeman, a Secret Service agent, my press secretary and me on a Washington sidewalk.
I was lucky. The bullet that hit me bounced off a rib and lodged in my lung, an inch from my heart. It was a very close call. Twice they could not find my pulse. But the bullet's missing my heart, the skill of the doctors and nurses at George Washington University Hospital and the steadfast support of my wife, Nancy, saved my life.
Jim Brady, my press secretary, who was standing next to me, wasn't as lucky. A bullet entered the left side of his forehead, near his eye, and passed through the right side of his brain before it exited. The skills of the George Washington University medical team, plus his amazing determination and the grit and spirit of his wife, Sarah, pulled Jim through. His recovery has been remarkable, but he still lives with physical pain every day and must spend much of his time in a wheelchair.
Thomas Delahanty, a Washington police officer, took a bullet in his neck. It ricocheted off his spinal cord. Nerve damage to his left arm forced his retirement in November 1981.
Tim McCarthy, a Secret Service agent, was shot in the chest and suffered a lacerated liver. He recovered and returned to duty.
Still, four lives were changed forever, and all by a Saturday-night special -- a cheaply made .22 caliber pistol -- purchased in a Dallas pawnshop by a young man with a history of mental disturbance.
This nightmare might never have happened if legislation that is before Congress now -- the Brady bill -- had been law back in 1981.
Former President George W. Bush also called attention to the victims of the 9-11 terrorist attacks in order to advocate for his administration's policies and for legislation supported by the administration. In a November 2001 speech, Bush urged Congress to pass airport safety legislation and promoted the creation of the Department of Homeland Security and the passage of antiterrorism laws in a speech that praised the heroics of passengers on Flight 93 and concluded with the call to action of "Let's roll":
Courage and optimism led the passengers on Flight 93 to rush their murderers to save lives on the ground. (Applause.) Led by a young man whose last known words were the Lord's Prayer and "Let's roll." (Applause.) He didn't know he had signed on for heroism when he boarded the plane that day. Some of our greatest moments have been acts of courage for which no one could have ever prepared.
We will always remember the words of that brave man, expressing the spirit of a great country. We will never forget all we have lost, and all we are fighting for. Ours is the cause of freedom. We've defeated freedom's enemies before, and we will defeat them again. (Applause.)
We cannot know every turn this battle will take. Yet we know our cause is just and our ultimate victory is assured. We will, no doubt, face new challenges. But we have our marching orders: My fellow Americans, let's roll.
Conservatives in media have targeted gun violence prevention advocates, particularly Giffords and the families of Newtown victims, for even injecting their horrific experiences with gun violence into the debate at all while simultaneously accusing the Obama administration of exploitation.
Taking the lead from Fox News, members of right-wing media attacked the Obama administration for using Newtown families as "props" in order to advocate for stronger gun laws.
- In an April 18 editorial, The Washington Times opinion board wrote that Obama made an April 17 Rose Garden address on gun violence "with families of the children killed at Newtown arranged around him to make a good photo-op" and also accused gun violence prevention advocates of "exploit[ing] the grief" of the Newtown families, "using them at every opportunity as props to make a political argument."
- Conservative Washington Post blogger Jennifer Rubin leveled a similar criticism of Obama's remarks, accusing the president of "hiding behind the Newtown parents."
- In a recap of the Rose Garden speech, Breitbart.com editor-at-large Ben Shapiro accused Obama of "exploitation of victims of violence using guns."
- Fox News Radio reporter Todd Starnes offered comparable commentary on Twitter, writing that Obama defended "using human props" in his speech.
In addition to attacking the Obama administration, a number of conservatives in media also lashed out at Giffords with allegations of "childish" behavior and the use of "all but anti-American" tactics.
- Writing for the National Review Online, Kevin D. Williamson criticized a Giffords' New York Times op-ed by stating, "it should be noted that being shot in the head by a lunatic does not give one any special grace to pronounce upon public-policy questions." Williamson added that Giffords' op-ed was "childish" and "an embarrassment."
- Right-wing blogger Glenn Reynolds, who writes under the name Instapundit, had a similar reaction to Giffords' frustration with the Senate, advising her to "Try more respect and reason, less emotional bullying next time."
- In support of Reynold's comments, right-wing blogger Dan Riehl said that Giffords' tactics were "shameful" and "all but anti-American," and added, "I'm sorry you were a victim Ms. Giffords. But I refuse to be yours by surrendering my rights in the face of your over-emotional and fundamentally illogical pleading which is not only a form of bullying but the worst sort of emotional blackmail, as well."
- Conservative Wall Street Journal columnist James Taranto also criticized Giffords' op-ed, writing on April 18 that the former Congresswoman has "turned out to be a practitioner of incivility and unreason."

You know that it's going to be demanding and your first aid kit will be well worn by the time you cross the finishing tape, but it'll be worth it to see the looks on the faces of those who said it couldn't be done.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the most important aspect of ensuring a chapter's success?
The most significant component of a successful chapter is committed leadership. Effective leaders also ensure continuity of the chapter by identifying the leaders of tomorrow and mentoring their leadership development.
2. Do I need to communicate with the Office of Alumni Relations?
WCL Alumni Chapters are an extension of the Law School, and work to foster the goals of the institution. Chapters must remain in contact with the Office of Alumni Relations to facilitate the implementation, marketing, and success of the programming. Alumni Chapters and the Office of Alumni Relations will work together to achieve mutual goals; these beneficial ties must be respected by all parties.
3. How do I know what constitutes an appropriate activity and/or event site?
A chapter should offer a variety of activities that appeal to the educational, cultural, volunteer, or social interests of its regional alumni and friends.
Please refer to the Event Planning Guide to see an overview of events that would be considered appropriate. Avoid scheduling any activities at private venues that are, or are perceived to be, exclusionary on the basis of social standing, race, religion, gender, or ethnic background. Also remember to avoid planning events on national or religious holidays, or during any official (paid) WCL events in your area.
4. What record-keeping is necessary for the chapter?
Just as it is important to plan properly for an event, it is also necessary to evaluate an event's success and maintain records of these evaluations for future use. It is also important that the Office of Alumni Relations receives attendance sheets for all events. These attendance sheets should include any updated mailing and contact information.
5. Where can we find new ideas for our chapter?
Don't hesitate to contact any of your peers to learn about their chapter's activities. Ideas can also be found by visiting the Web sites of other universities and colleges and on the CASE Web site (www.case.org).
And don't forget the Office of Alumni Relations can suggest a number of ideas for your chapter. Remember, we're only a phone call or email message away!

The Top 50 Song Lyrics of 2010
Some lists are loved. Some are hated. For the last five years, an
equally loved and loathed list has circulated around Hollywood's insider
circles, every year, without fail. Meet The Black List, a list of the
best screenplays in Hollywood that have yet to be produced. It's voted on by
a shadowy, motley bunch of production execs who use it as a way to either
give voice to projects they couldn't, or to promote their own. It's taken on
such prominence that it now has its own Web site, and even though those behind
The Black List are adamant that it's a totally unscientific list mostly
devoid of meaning, truth is, it's widely read and regarded by Hollywood. For
the public, it's a great way to see where Hollywood is trending when it's not meaningless. And
for us, it's a great reason to speculate on the movies to come two or three years
from now.
Without knowing anything more about the screenplays than the title, the
screenwriter, the production companies involved, and the loglines (or:
two-line summaries agents and managers sell screenplays on), we sketched out one-sheets for the Black List movies we
think have serious potential. Or at least the ones we want to see.
Screenplay by: Enio Rigolin
Logline: "An unlikely codebreaker is thrust into the role of a
hero when he discovers a secret code being sent through comic books during
Producing: No attachment.
Another major approximation — the intended look was a comic book — though
we're happy with the Happiness-esque art this one turned out. A World War II
action flick that isn't made by Tom Hanks is going to need something very,
very special going for it, and the comic book angle should be played very,
very hard as such. Really, this is Bryan Singer's chance to redeem himself
for Superman Returns, or abandoning the X-Men franchise.
It's also a chance for Paul Dano to become an action star in exactly one
film, or for Jake Gyllenhaal to give it one last go.

Special Section: Christopher Dorner
The Navy Reserve veteran accused of four homicides and three non-fatal shootings, and was the focus of California's largest manhunt, may not be eligible for a funeral with military honors.
Christopher Jordan Dorner, who previously held a naval rank of lieutenant, died in a fiery standoff with law enforcement in the San Bernardino Mountains on Feb. 12 after declaring open warfare and publicly targeting police and their families.
He was honorably discharged from the Navy Reserve before allegedly setting off on a rampage that would end in his own death.
According to the eligibility standards of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs under Article 38, federal officials may not inter in veterans cemeteries people who are shown to have committed a federal or state capital crime but were unavailable for trial due to death or flight to avoid prosecution.
All federally funded state veterans cemeteries must also adhere to this law.
This prohibition is also extended to furnishing a Presidential Memorial Certificate, a burial flag, and a headstone or marker.
"The decision if he (Dorner) would be allowed a burial with military honors would have to come from the regional Veterans Administration office in Los Angeles," said Robert Milacek, office manager at the San Bernardino Veteran Center. "More than likely he would be denied because of his crimes, but that's for the lawyers to determine."
Calls placed to the Los Angeles office of the Veteran's Administration for comment were never returned.
San Bernardino County Sheriff John McMahon said Dorner may have taken his own life, but the Riverside County Coroner's Office that conducted Dorner's autopsy has not yet released its report to the public.
Dorner's remains were identified by means of dental records.
The details of when and where Dorner will be buried have not been released, but Jodi Miller, a spokeswoman for the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department, said the body was turned over to an undisclosed mortuary on Feb. 16.
Dorner is accused in the murders of Monica Quan and her fiance Keith Lawernce, Riverside police Officer Michael Crain and San Bernardino County sheriff's Detective Jeremiah MacKay during a violent escapade in early February.
He placed his now infamous manifesto online which prompted the LAPD to place protective details on about 50 families named in his uninhibited document.

I've been playing around for the last few hours trying to get this working.
I've read many forum posts on different forums, but I still haven't got it working.
It doesn't help that all of the Fast-track websites are down, both "Secure State" and "The Pen Test".
I've done all sorts of weird stuff like create a user called "postgres", and I can't count many ruby libraries I've installed.
Here's some of the guides I've followed:
Automate Your Pen Testing with Fast-Track and Linux - www.enterprisenetworkingplanet.com
The Bored IT Guy » How to install Fast-Track 4.0 on Ubuntu
[ubuntu] How to: metasploit with autopwn [Archive] - Ubuntu Forums
Here's the versions I'm working with:
Metasploit v3.3.4-dev
Fast-track v4.0
When I run Fast-track, it tests for dependencies and everything comes back OK except for pymills. I searched the web for pymills and it seems to have disappeared into a black hole, seems like the Russians came and kidnapped the developers.
If I do:
Enter 2 for Autopwn.Code:python fast-track.py -i
Enter the IP address.
Enter 2 for Reverse Binding.
Then it loads Metasploit but here's what I get, check out the errors in red:
Anyone got any ideas?Code:msf > db_destroy pentest dropdb: could not connect to database postgres: FATAL: Ident authentication failed for user "root" msf > db_create pentest createdb: could not connect to database postgres: FATAL: Ident authentication failed for user "postgres" [-] Error while running command db_create: Failed to connect to the database: FATAL: Ident authentication failed for user "postgres" Call stack: /root/metasploit/lib/msf/ui/console/command_dispatcher/db.rb:1552:in `db_create_postgresql' /root/metasploit/lib/msf/ui/console/command_dispatcher/db.rb:1078:in `send' /root/metasploit/lib/msf/ui/console/command_dispatcher/db.rb:1078:in `cmd_db_create' /root/metasploit/lib/rex/ui/text/dispatcher_shell.rb:239:in `send' /root/metasploit/lib/rex/ui/text/dispatcher_shell.rb:239:in `run_command' /root/metasploit/lib/rex/ui/text/dispatcher_shell.rb:201:in `run_single' /root/metasploit/lib/rex/ui/text/dispatcher_shell.rb:195:in `each' /root/metasploit/lib/rex/ui/text/dispatcher_shell.rb:195:in `run_single' /root/metasploit/lib/rex/ui/text/shell.rb:144:in `run' /root/metasploit/msfconsole:93 msf > db_nmap 192.168.1.111 [-] Unknown command: db_nmap. msf > db_autopwn -p -t -e -r [-] Unknown command: db_autopwn. msf > sleep 5 msf > jobs -K Stopping all jobs...

WATCH: Queen Latifah talks 'Living Single' reunion & on-screen lovers on 'WWHL'

The rapper/singer/actress turned talk show host revealed her favorite on-screen lovers and even hinted at a possible Living SIngle reunion.
When it comes to her on-screen romances, she said her favorite was a tie between Common and the woman who played her girlfriend on Set It Off.
After a few fun games and jokes, she took questions from viewers and admitted she's down to host her former cast mates on her hit talk show.

text: In the last couple of days, photos have merged which show Coco canoodling with another guy. Despite Coco saying that she still loves Ice-T and would never cheat, to me, these photos say something else. I can't post them all, but you can Google them and find them and it is obvious the photos took place over the course of several different times or days because the clothes are different in some of them. Once with a fan? Maybe. Multiple times with a guy who is a younger version of Ice-T? These are not photos that are part of a meet and greet. If you were with someone and saw these photos, what would you think? Maybe this is why Coco moved to Vegas. Maybe their marriage has been over for some time.

how did you create the botable usb...My slax creator? list the steps that you took if you can. Did you use the bt beta .iso or the final bactrack image to boot up the modules?
My older Dell laptop would hang up at this point. Other computers work fine.
The problem was identified by:
Use "boot: bt debug".
Hit Ctrl+d to continue twice.
Type "mkdir /mnt/cdrom"
Type "mount /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom"
The computers that work would mount the cdrom. My Dell would give a bunch of errors and never mount the cdrom.
The solution for me is to boot off a USB device.
I use the CD to boot with:
"boot: bt nocd"
This boots a laptop that can't boot from USB, to the point where it can load the modules, ect.. from a USB device.
how did you create the botable usb...My slax creator? list the steps that you took if you can. Did you use the bt beta .iso or the final bactrack image to boot up the modules?
Unfortunately, it still will not boot without the CD.
I've run the bootinstall.sh script in the /mnt/sda3/ (sda3 is where my install is).
The syslinux command complains about not being a valid FAT partition.
Did you format the stick with linux?
From the mkdosfs man page:
This drove me nuts until I figured it out.BUGS
mkdosfs can not create bootable filesystems. This isn't as easy as you might think at first glance for various reasons and has been discussed a lot already. mkdosfs simply will not support it
Wow! Thanks. That really is a gotcha.
The other problem is that the syslinux that the script uses is for a FAT partition only.
Kind of a catch 22.SYSLINUX is a boot loader for the Linux operating system which operates off an MS-DOS/Windows FAT filesystem.
I'm going to explore two options at this point.
1) Lilo.
Looking at the make_disk.sh script from BT1.0, it may be possible to just run this script. I may get a chance to play with it some today. And of course I will post my results.EXTLINUX is a new syslinux derivative, which boots from a Linux
ext2/ext3 filesystem.
Yes. It's pretty cool the way it works.Is the USB drive detected automatically and continues to load from there?
The CD boots enough software to mount any USB drive devices.
It then scans all hard drive partitions and USB drives for modules to load.
Next, it looks for "slaxconfig.mo" on the media that it found the modules on in order to load any saved configurations.
At least that's the way I understand it.
I have an old P3 dell latitude that wouldn't read the cdrom so I setup a tftpd32 can't post the link server which has a built in DHCP server on my XP machine and allowed my laptop to network boot off the XP machine over TFTP while making sure I had inserted a USB thumb drive with the BT directory on the root.
This got me to the login and I could use BT 2.0 from here.
the main links you need to network boot bt 2.0 are:
can't post the link
You're basically setting up a tftp32 server and pushing the bt2 cd down while your USB stick holds the modules
Now I've gotta figure out howto install this to my hard disk. the install script doesn't seem to be working.

SAINTS have been criticised for their decision to start charging visually impaired supporters for tickets.
The club have confirmed that they will no longer be allowing free entry to fans with serious sight problems.
Instead, Saints will charge them the lowest possible price in each age category, which they say brings them in line with the policy of most other Premier League clubs. They will continue to allow free access to visually impaired supporters' enablers.
John Cunningham, a voluntary worker with the charity Open Sight, believes there should be a rethink.
"The lowest price in each category doesn't really count as a concession," he said.
"That's moving the community club we know and love into an arena that's becoming less and less community minded, to the detriment of people who have supported it for years, and that includes visually impaired people.
"I think it's very detrimental and it doesn't look good on the club.
"I'm not saying they should necessarily give free tickets, although it would be a nice gesture from clubs in the Big Society age."

Condor Tool & Knife
High Impact Polypropylene Handles are strong and indestructible. These handles are molded directly to our machetes and knives blades making them impossible to separate. We have a metal lanyard eyelet that passes through the tang for added strength.
The Blades are made from English 420 HC (High Carbon) surgical quality Stainless Steel or German 1075 High Carbon Steel and are heat treated and annealed to about 52-54 Rockwell for the machetes (a measure of hardness) and 56-58 for the knives. Every edge is hand finished and polished to razor sharpness.
Condor® Leather Sheaths and Covers are high quality, heavy duty, hand crafted leather. Some of the designs feature a swiveling belt loop that allows the tool to swing out of the way while moving through brush or the jungle. The tool can also be swung out of the way while riding in a truck or car, thus not poking one in the side as a conventional knife sheath.
Condor® Torture Ring is used constantly to test the quality of our products. Our blades have great flexibility and strength. Quality blades do not need to be thick to perform; thinner, lighter and faster is better. We test all our blades in real world situations so we can get feedback and assure that each piece is a quality tool. Our designers and employees also use tools all over the wildernesses of North, Central, and South America and give feedback to improve product performance.
Limited Lifetime Warranty - Condor® tools are warranted to be free of defects in materials, manufacture or assembly for the lifetime of the original purchaser. Damage due to abuse, misuse or neglect is not covered. Defective products will be repaired, replaced or substituted with the same item or item of equal value.
