Did Some Web Designer Troll Rick Santorum? 4chan's Moot Pictured On Santorum's Website
from the hilarious dept
Patriot Voices used the startup Nation Builder, a web tool kit for community organizers, as a platform for the site. A representative for Nation Builder told Betabeat that the site was designed by an outside designer at the Pittsburgh-based political consulting and advertising firm Brabender Cox.Betabeat reached out to the organization but hasn't heard back yet.
Dubbed "the premier Republican spin doctors," Brabender Cox has a longstanding history of working to promote Republican candidates. In addition to doing work for Mr. Santorum, they've also created viral videos and advertising content for politicians like Republican Senator Tom Coburn and Republican Mayor of Indiana Greg Ballard.
Oh, and if you're wondering, it seems likely that the use of the work is copyright infringement. It was pulled from Poole's Wikipedia page, and the image is Creative Commons licensed, but part of that license is that attribution is required. There doesn't seem to be any such attribution. Oops.

By: Dr Lynda Kelly, Category: Museullaneous, Date: 18 Mar 2011
Where do our web visitors come from and why are we interested?
This week we had a great meeting with the folks from Absolutely Wild Visuals discussing sharing their incredible online resource of video material. We plan to start small, adding some of their YouTube Channel videos to some of the Top 50 animal pages and track how our visitors respond.
As part of this we were curious to see the mix between Australian-based visitors and international visitors, given that some of their material only has copyright clearance in Australia.
So, taking February as an example 281,855 visits came from 207 countries/territories as follows:
The remainder were from countries as varied as India, the Netherlands, Singapore, Brazil, Ireland, Poland, Mexico and Russia.
Australian visitors were from the following cities:
Other places included Hobart, Richmond (with 1,530 visits for some reason!), the Gold Coast, Cranbourne, Ballarat, Wollongong, Victoria Point and Geelong.
Another noticeable result is that overseas users tend to be new visitors compared with Australia and particularly Sydney (67% of Sydney visitors were new compared with 90% of Canadian visitors for example). This suggests that we could build on our Sydney users with the potential to convert them to physical visitors – a challenge worth thinking about.
By the way, while you're here check out some cool posts written by Michael on our blog. Under the umbrella of 'The Birdcage', these posts showcase interesting tweets and links we have shared with each other during the week. Here's this week's post.

PS Blog: It's been a little while since we updated you on our progress making Tearaway, but that all changes today! We recently showed some new parts of the game to members of the gaming press, and their previews and coverage of that should start appearing today across the web. We introduced them to an area of the game we've been working on for quite some time, and today we'd like you to see it too!
Wow it's charm
It's music has a great feeling to it.
Also the creativity, wow I'm now about to go crazy for this game. Certainly my most anticipated Vita game. right behind this game is Killzone Mercenaries and Sly 4!
This game looks incredible. Love the art style. Tearaway is easily one of my most anticipated games of this year.
Here's the new gameplay footage, in case you missed it:
WHEN is it coming out? My Vita's been collecting dust ever since I beat Persona 4 Golden.
Didn't think it would have towns and such but I suppose just a forest would get boring after a while. Might add some replay value or something. Really glad we're getting some new trailers for Tearaway and Killzone: Mercenary.

Freshly picked floral prints are springing up in this latest collection from burda style magazine's March 2013 issue. Bright florals are bursting on dresses, skirts, jackets and more! The styles are in a 50s' look – a fashionable homage to romance and womanliness.
This Halterneck Dress with its gathered bustier bodice and full, swinging bell skirt is reminiscent of film stars of the 50s'. And it's still the perfect dream dress for today's women who want to flaunt their femininity.
This Lace Shirt is just fabulous! The see-through cotton lace fabric alone is gorgeous. The style is so simple that even beginners can make it. We love it worn with this bright Floral Pencil Skirt. For everyday wear, this over-the-knee-length pencil skirt is perfect. It has a classic walking slit with under lap at the back.
Pure romance! This Floaty Dress with puff sleeves and gathering at the front is ideal for a date. It prettily shows a little cleavage and accents the waist. Simply lovely.
Lace from head to toe and still great for everyday wear! This Lace Cardigan has a V-neck, narrow sleeves and replaces a traditional knitted cardigan. Here it's combined with a bra and skinny belt, so fashion-forward! It's looks great paired with this lovely little Lace Skirt. This lace skirt uses the scalloped edge of the lace as the hem edge. It has a lining so it's not see-through.
Here we have the Open Back Dress. Total femininity. Ankle-length dress with fitted bodice, layered skirt and short gathered sleeves. It's respectably high cut at the front but the back plunges alluringly down to the waist.
This is the life! The Lace Jacket with floral pattern is just so sweet and even gives jeans a feminine, classy look. There is lovely gathering down the button band.
This is the Ribbon Dress. Flower designs don't always have to be printed on fabric. Here they look fabulous woven into the fabric! And for an especially classy touch there's a sewn-on petersham ribbon to give the dress some edge.
This classic Jacket is pepped up by the special boucle fabric with a woven-in flower pattern – and by the fringed edges and covered buttons. It looks so sharp worn with these Pencil Trousers. These narrow trousers of flowery gabardine don't have a waistband. Darts on the front and the back fit them beautifully to the figure.
Happy Sewing!

The statues watch with unflinching vigilance over the 18th green. Donald Ross and Richard Tufts, locked in perpetual conversation. Robert Dedman, his proprietary pride apparent even cast in metal. And Payne Stewart, frozen in limb-splayed glory, the only one of the three monuments requiring barriers to protect it from camera-happy crowds.
The statues represent and honor the founding of Pinehurst, its rebirth and its greatest moment. In this place, so steeped in history, so pivotal in the history of American golf itself, a new page will unavoidably be turned this week.
After years of anticipation, the U.S. Open is back, the Women's Open to follow. That's hardly the only novel aspect to this third Open on No. 2.
From 1999, Stewart is gone, lost all too quickly after the crowning moment of his career. Phil Mickelson is still here, still looking for his first U.S. Open title after coming ever so close that summer, but playing under a cloud of insider-trading accusations. Vijay Singh and Tiger Woods, it is easy to forget given the drama on the 18th green, were only a shot behind. Both are absent for different reasons.

Six years later, Michael Campbell came from nowhere to win and just as quickly vanished from the scene. Instead of the Sandhills, he's in Spain, having suffered damage both physical (a bad ankle) and personal (the breakup of his marriage).
Woods, whose late charge fell just short, is at home as well, with injuries of his own. Jason Gore, the unlikely crowd favorite in 2005, failed to make it out of sectional qualifying. Retief Goosen, the other half of Sunday's final pairing with Gore, looking for his third Open in five years, is here but hasn't won since 2009.
Even the course those two tournaments were played upon is gone, its identity then at least, stripped of decades of improvements and shorn back to something resembling Ross' original design and intent, the rough replaced with sandy waste areas, the greens as frightening as ever.
Pinehurst No. 2 epitomizes tradition. It connects us with the birth of golf in America. It tells the story of the game's growth, the good and the bad alike.
Given those ties to the past, it is somewhat jarring to consider this third U.S. Open is a completely blank slate. The direct connections to the other two Opens here are tenuous at best, surprisingly so, and even if they weren't, this is a step into the unknown for so many, not least the USGA.
First, the governing body was willing to abandon its traditional U.S. Open setup – deep, thick rough as the course's primary defense – when confronted with the alternative presented by Ben Crenshaw and Bill Coore in their retro remaking of No. 2. Then, it decided on the unprecedented step of sending the women out onto the course for their national championship immediately after the men conclude.
Both of those decisions have the potential for spectacular payoffs, just as they have the potential to backfire in equally dramatic fashion, the latter in particular given the increasing likelihood of afternoon thunderstorms this week.
Pinehurst has provided a stage for two very different kinds of drama in its previous Opens, and the only guarantee is that this one will, inevitably, strike out in a new direction as well.
Back to the past. Into the future. There's no better time, no better place to make history all over again.

Following as string of unconfirmed reports, speculation and guesses, the U.S. has announces that it does not believe there was an explosion at the Fordow nuclear facility in Iran.
Last Friday, right wing news website World News Daily reported an explosion at Fordow that led to the collapse of the bulk of the facility built under a mountain near the city of Qom, burying some 240 employees.
The report was said to have come from defecting Iranian Intelligence operators and Revolutionary Guards. One of those alleged defectors, Hmidrza Zaakiri, on Tuesday told Israel Army Radio about the event and its outcome.
"It was a big explosion, and because the facility is built under the mountain rock, it is very hard to reach workers trapped in there," said Zaakiri. "All the elevators and emergency stairs have collapsed."
Tehran has already denied the reports that its main uranium enrichment plant was damaged, and now the United States also rejects this report.
"We have no information to confirm the allegations in the report and we do not believe the report is credible," said White House spokesman Jay Carney. "We don't believe those are credible reports."
Meanwhile the world is waiting for the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), which keeps track of the Fordow facility, to state whether there is evidence of sabotage there.
Iran has not updated its original response to the rumors, published on Sunday, which blamed the "Western propaganda machine" for the news.
"There has been no explosion in Fordow nuclear Facility," the deputy head of the Iranian Atomic Energy Organization Seyyed Shamseddin Barbroudi said on Sunday.
The credibility of the initial report's author has been called into question: Reza Kahlili worked for CIA in Iran in the 1980s, then was moved to the U.S. with his family.
Haaretz's Anshel Pfeffer reported that "Kahlili himself is a frequent speaker at events in US organized by right-wing organizations and those that support the right in Israel … He also compared the regime in Tehran to that of the Nazis, and called upon Israel to bomb Iran's nuclear installations."
Currently Kahlili writes books and lectures on Iran. He claims "to still have an impressive network of sources in various government agencies."
Kahlili has never shown his face in public, for fear of retribution. He always appears wearing a baseball cap, dark glasses and a surgical mask.
Pfeffer verified, however, that Kahlili's "employment by the CIA has been confirmed by agency sources and an approving review of his book [A Time to Betray] even appeared on the CIA website."
Now, with defector Hmidrza Zaakiri adding his voice to the story, it appears that there has been some smoke at Fordow, and we only need to find out how much fire created it.


text: DERBY – Faye Morin is the new interim Derby Town Clerk and Treasurer, at least until the March town meeting. She was appointed by a divided select board Thursday evening during a special board meeting.Select board members Brian Smith (chair), Laura Dolgin, and Steve Gendreau voted yes, while members Beula-Jean Shattuck and Karen Jenne abstained.The select board had held a vote on the issue Monday evening at their regular select board meeting but there were not enough votes to make the appointment. Dolgin was not present Monday. Jenne and Shattuck abstained from the vote Monday as well.Shattuck said she did not want to vote because she felt the proper procedure was not followed. She did not vote no because she does not have a problem with Morin in the position. "I felt the procedure was not followed from day one," she said. She said that former town clerk Nicole Daigle should not have come to the select board in the first place. "We have no say over what the town clerk does."Jenne expressed similar concerns.Smith said Sunday that it is embarrassing that Jenne and Shattuck would not vote yes or no on the motion to appoint Morin. "We are supposed to be decision makers," he stated.At the meeting, Dolgin questioned why the two members abstained. Jenne and Shattuck both said they felt badgered by Dolgin to give their reasons but didn't feel obliged to do so.A petition had been circulated around town and enough signatures have been collected to call for a special election. The earliest the Australian ballot voting could occur is early December. At Town Meeting in March, another election will take place for the town clerk position.After speaking with the Vermont Secretary of State's office, Smith's understanding is that the board is obligated to appoint someone to fill the vacancy as soon as possible, he said last week. Daigle told the select board in an executive session in July that she had found another job. What was discussed further during that session is not clear as no minutes are taken and the public is not allowed to attend. Shattuck said Sunday that she had questioned why Daigle's assistant Mary Ann Tetreault could not have her cut hours reinstated. Tetreault saw her hours cut soon after she beat Daigle at town meeting for the delinquent tax collector's position. Daigle has maintained that Tetreault's workload had diminished, but now Tetreault says she is way behind in her work and she needs more hours.Many said that Daigle's move in cutting the hours was retaliation for Tetreault running against her and beating her for the $30,000-plus a year position.Daigle has said she wanted to train a viable candidate so at town meeting someone was trained for the position. Many have said that was not an appropriate move as town clerks cannot appoint their own successors.Vicky Farrand-Lewis, who was at Thursday's meeting, also criticized Daigle, saying, "She should have known what she was doing was improper."But Dolgin said Sunday that Daigle was absolutely in her rights to hire and train Morin.

Aniebonam said Monday night he remains very interested in both, and both are "on top of my list" though he's not naming any favorites right now. Neither school has been by this spring but he's expecting Clemson's Brent Venables to visit soon. He has been in touch with Venables and USC recruiter GA Mangus. Tennessee visited Monday and Ohio State, Virginia Tech, Notre Dame and Stanford have been thru. Aniebonam visited Maryland and Virginia Tech this spring and will visit USC and Clemson this summer. He's also looking at possible visits to Ohio State, Michigan, Alabama, Georgia Tech and Notre Dame. Aniebonam is interested in Clemson and USC for several reasons. "At Clemson, it's the football success and academic success," he said. "I feel like they are that one all around school. I like the coaching staff. They are great people. I've been hearing good words from Clemson. South Carolina, it's a beautiful campus from what I've see, and the football team team of course. The defensive scheme is something that really attracted me to them also. It feels like it would be a good fit in the long run." Aniebonam said he'll evaluate both schools further after his visits. He plans to make a decision before the season.

The Pittock Mansion, a 16,000-square-foot French Renaissance-style masterpiece, reigns atop a 1,000-foot bluff overlooking the city of Portland, Ore. With panoramic views of the Willamette and Columbia rivers and five Cascade mountains, the mansion is a testament to what power and wealth could achieve in 1914, what civic activism could restore in 1965 and what could be a killer setting for a house party in 2012.
Why it's a treasure: Henry Pittock, a penniless Oregon Trail pioneer who became a land baron, lumber and paper mill magnate and owner of the Oregonian, which he built into the state's largest daily newspaper, commissioned California architect Edward T. Foulkes to create a showcase legacy for his five surviving children and their families. The 44-room house (23 rooms now open to the public) included every conceivable newfangled 20th century invention, including electricity, recessed lighting, a central vacuum system and a residential elevator (still in use). The estate includes an Italianate gate lodge that was the chauffeur's residence, a greenhouse and a three-car garage.
Why you'd want to live there: The spectacular views, of course, from every (yes, every) window. The 46 acres of gardens and wooded trails, sure. But mostly to sashay down the grand, floating, curving, three-story baroque staircase that, as one admirer said, channels the elegance of Michelangelo and the melodrama of Scarlett O'Hara.
Why you wouldn't: Just imagine the utility bills — oh, let's say about $5,000 a month.
The surprise: A respected civic, business and philanthropic leader, Pittock nevertheless cut a secret deal with Portland to construct a water line, at city expense, to serve the mansion, then half a mile outside city limits. The one disgruntled City Council member who made the deal public received such bad press in the Oregonian that eventually he was booted out of office.

Canadian Mounties Don't Get Their Man, This Time
June 30, 2009 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on Canadian Mounties Don't Get Their Man, This Time
For a week a police investigation at the Hidden Valley Campground in New Brunswick was the biggest mystery and best kept secret in the province – making headlines across Canada's Maritime provinces.
Now one of the men who found his campground and business at the center of a Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) search has broken his silence, according to the Saint John Telegraph-Journal.
The Mounties, David Weaver said, were looking for a body the campground that he and his father John own. After a week of searching, no body was found and the search was called off Friday (June 26).
The search decimated the Weavers' business for a week.
The RCMP never divulged what it was searching for. David Weaver said the RCMP told him the tip came from a former resident of the area who is now incarcerated at Kingston Penitentiary in Ontario.
"This guy made an accusation out in Ontario, that he was here, he stayed here and he supposedly buried a body," Weaver said. "I knew this guy who said this and he's in Kingston Pen right now.
"He was just trying to be tough," Weaver said about why the man would have given the police such information.
Last Monday, a dozen RCMP officers, including the forensic team from Fredericton, descended on the idyllic 630-acre campground that is a 35-minute drive from Saint John.
Sgt. Claude Tremblay of the RCMP wouldn't confirm or deny Weaver's assertions.
"We were told we were going to find something in a certain spot and we didn't find anything, so it's irrelevant what we were looking for at the time," Tremblay said.
Those details, he said, will never be released.
Police cordoned off the campground and allowed in only two campers who were long-term residents.
"I won't make up the money that I lost," Weaver said. "I won't get that back."
Tremblay said the campground's owners should contact the RCMP if they suffered financial losses during the search.
"That's a case for him to make to the RCMP," Tremblay said.
Beyond the lost business, the disruption took a even more dire toll on the family. John Weaver, David's father, was admitted to the Saint John Regional Hospital Sunday night with high blood pressure and an elevated heart rate.
"I believe he's OK," his son said. "They're just going to run a bunch of tests. He's not overly well to begin with, but all this hoo-hah that's been going on just sent him over the edge. Stressed him right out."
The father and son were tight-lipped when speaking with the media while the search was going on. Police had said early on that the Weavers were not the target of the investigation.
"I can't blame them for doing their job, but they could have given us some heads-up or warning," Weaver said of the RCMP. "It's not like they just thought about it that day."
The father and son built the campground in 1995.
Hidden Valley, which has 56 sites and cabins, lost a number of bookings after police shut down the campground. Weaver said campers began to trickle through the gates after the RCMP left Friday, but much of the traffic consisted of busybodies.
"More onlookers than anything. Period," Weaver said.
Mystery Shrouds Canadian Campground Inquiry
June 26, 2009 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on Mystery Shrouds Canadian Campground Inquiry
The owner of the New Brunswick campground that is currently at the center of a mysterious investigation said he fielded 167 phone calls from nosey people searching for details on Tuesday evening (June 23), according to the Saint John Telegraph-Journal.
John Weaver is the owner of Hidden Valley Campground in Kingston. At the end of a tar and gravel road court sprinkled with the odd house along either side, the campground has become the focus of an investigation that began Monday at noon.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) say there are 12 officers at the site, including a forensic team from Fredericton.
"It's get nerve-wracking to answer the phone and keep answering the same question," Weaver said.
"I have people coming out of the woodwork, calling me up, seeing if I'm all right and they don't even like me," Weaver said, with a little laugh. "It's getting frustrating."
Weaver said there are 56 sites on 630 acres.
"I have a canteen with no customers. I have a campground with no customers."
The campground, Weaver said, is staffed 24-7 so if someone committed a crime on his property, it would have been hard for it to go unnoticed.
"There's not too many activities that can go on at this campground or soil turned over or anything like that, that I wouldn't notice."
Neither the police nor Weaver will say what the RCMP is searching for. Weaver did confirm that police haven't used any of the earth-moving equipment on the site.
The search warrant the RCMP handed to Weaver was sealed, and even Sgt. Steve Gourdeau of the Hampton RCMP wasn't privy to its contents.
'We haven't done any digging at all," Gourdeau said.
Some TV and radio reports had said the RCMP had a person of interest and that Weaver was a suspect, but Gourdeau said those reports were wrong. "I did not speak those words," Gourdeau said.
There are no suspects or persons of interest, he said. Just a tip that may prove to be nothing more than a hoax
The RCMP, he said, is not targeting a cold case such as a missing person or an unsolved murder. Police received tips from a number of sources that point to something criminal, Gourdeau said, but that was as far as he would go.
"We're not being secretive. We've got to deal with facts. To say anything at this point would be speculation."
"Nothing," Gourdeau said, when asked if anything had been found. "Zero."
Under a sweltering sun Wednesday afternoon and a swarm of bugs, an RCMP officer checked a lone car as it approached the gate. The man is one of only two long-term campers allowed beyond the gates.
Driving a shiny Mercedes with a for sale sign in the back window, the man held up a copy of the newspaper to the lone RCMP guard.
"You made the news," said the man.
He then drove through the white, wooden gate and disappeared behind the trees.

Onyedika Chuke: the untitled
September 15 – October 20, 2013 at Wave Hill
In the untitled, on view through October 20, Onyedika Chuke fills the Sun Porch with an installation that investigates the relationship between the body, nature and architecture. This project consists of sculptures that are concerned with the need for shelter, using building materials such as plaster and salvaged wood. Chuke states, "Dwelling construction calls for one to relate body directly to material, conjuring up issues pertaining to scale." His forms all allude to figurative sculpture--- from classical to modernist --- as well as to representations of the human physique in relation to architecture and space. Chuke is a recipient of Wave Hill's 2013 Van Lier Visual Artist Fellowship, which offers emerging artists of diverse backgrounds professional development, career mentorship and workspace and exhibition opportunities.
Onyedika Chuke's (2013 BRIO winner) practice is focused on an ongoing essay composition. The essay is entitled "The Forever Museum" in which the artist analyzes the history/historiography of museum objects, and presents three dimensional models (sculptures) based on the disjunctures between historical artifacts, architecture, politics and the human body. Onyedika Chuke has completed a number of residencies and commissions, included are The Bronx Museum AIM program and The Verbier Public Art Commission in Switzerland. He is The Van Lier Visual Art Fellow at Wave Hill Public Garden and Cultural Center for 2013.

January/February 2005
Frieden targeted gay men in particular: "It's a wake up call to men who have sex with men, particularly those who may use crystal methamphetamine. Not only are we seeing syphilis and a rare sexually transmitted disease -- lymphogranuloma venereum -- among these men, now we've identified this strain of HIV that is difficult or impossible to treat and which appears to progress rapidly to AIDS."
The press reaction was swift and predictable: "AIDS Super Bug," blared the NY Post; "rare and deadlier form of AIDS," read the NY Times. Soon it was on CNN and the nightly news. "A frightening, never-before-seen 'superstrain' ... full-blown AIDS sets in with lightning speed." "New AIDS Peril Puts America on High Alert," announced The Hindu and other international papers. Yet accounts of the "superstrain" were mostly superficial.
Hotlines at AIDS service organizations began buzzing with anxious questions: Does this mean my HIV test was no good? Does this mean my drugs won't work anymore? People were certainly talking, but what was the hubbub about?
Chatter on the e-mail networks of people who follow AIDS research immediately zeroed in on one glaring detail: This was only one case. An unusual and tragic set of circumstances, no doubt, but, so far, found in just one person. If there had been a cluster of several cases where people were progressing to AIDS with a highly virulent strain of untreatable HIV -- that would have been big news. But did a single case warrant a press conference that launched headlines around the world? As the story filtered out, some pieces began to fall into place.
But this patient had a virus that was resistant to drugs in three of the four classes of antiretrovirals. Wasn't that alarming? Well, it should be, but it is not uncommon. Studies have found resistance to at least one drug in 6 to 15 percent of recently infected people. Even triple-class drug-resistant HIV was found to be transmitted in about 1.3 percent of new infections in one study. At the Retrovirus conference, several clinicians commented that they had a number of patients with this extent of resistance.* Among people who already have been on therapy, studies have found at least one resistance mutation in nearly 80 percent of those with detectable viral load.
Frieden claims it was the unprecedented combination of rapid progression with transmitted multi-drug resistance that justified the alert. But even this was not unique. In 2001, Julio Montaner of Vancouver, BC reported on two cases of multi-drug resistance in patients who had rapidly progressed to AIDS. Clearly this situation had been seen before -- and the sky didn't fall in -- so what possessed Frieden to unleash a torrent of fear and confusion over this case? Had he been duped by the fame and authority of Dr. Ho? Was it all orchestrated by Dr. Ho's public relations firm, the Corkery Group? Was he so naive as to think the global press wouldn't whip this story into a superheated frenzy? Or did the aggressive commissioner have an agenda of his own and saw in this case an opportunity to shake up New York's complacent gay community about the unabated AIDS crisis among them?
New Yorkers could use a wake up call. Gay men continue to lead the categories of the newly infected in New York and alcohol and methamphetamine use have been shown to strongly increase one's risk of infection. Take this individual: How can it be that a gay man remains uninfected until his mid-40s then stumbles in such a dramatic way? Unfortunately, there is nothing at all unique about this aspect of his case. Not enough attention has been given to mid-life gay men and the stress they experience. But with shrinking federal funds for prevention and a shifting emphasis towards secondary prevention (prevention efforts aimed at infected people in a medical context, an approach lately promoted by the CDC as they retreat from funding prevention in high risk groups) and away from primary prevention education for people at risk (youth, women of color, and amphetamine users, etc.), men like this are less likely than ever to have somewhere to turn for help.
HIV is relatively difficult to transmit sexually, although certain practices such as unprotected anal intercourse can increase the risk greatly. Once acquired, HIV is normally a slow moving disease. A person who is newly infected may not realize it, or may have symptoms of acute infection that range from muscle aches to a dramatic rash and flu-like symptoms. After the initial stage of infection, an individual's immune system usually kicks in to bring the HIV under partial control. But HIV replicates rapidly -- a new generation is born nearly every day -- so within a few weeks of settling into its new host, the virus is evolving and beginning to escape immune control. By the time a year has passed, the dominant virus may be quite different from the virus a person received at infection, having gone through the equivalent of 6,000 years of human evolution. Antiretroviral (ARV) therapy can knock down the HIV replication rate to nearly -- but not quite -- zero. There are always a few cells hanging around that hold some virus in reserve. If the drugs are interrupted or stretched too thin, these few viruses will start to increase in number. The longer virus is allowed to replicate in the presence of the drugs, the more likely that one of them will produce a random mutant capable of thriving despite them. Before long, if this keeps up, a drug-resistant strain is born. The fact is, most people with multi-drug resistance have made it themselves.
The best guard against resistance is to maintain strict adherence to effective medication, but it's hard to do. The DOT approach, from the TB world, has been successfully used to administer HIV drugs as well. But TB is curable within months, while HIV requires life-long treatment. Studies of ARV therapy in prisons have produced excellent levels of adherence and viral suppression. But it should be obvious that such means are not solutions for this situation.
The terms "superbug" or "superstrain" are sensational words invented by the media to sell newspapers. But there are a couple of other "super" terms that have been conspicuously missing from discussions about the New York patient. One is "super-spreader," an informal epidemiological term used to describe an individual who is responsible for a high number of transmission events in a population. Recently infected people typically have extremely high viral loads. They may also have a virus that is well-adapted to transmission -- after all, it was recently transmitted to them. Put this person in a social setting where he is bingeing on drugs and unprotected sex with multiple partners in weekend-long parties and he will be much more likely to infect other people than a party pal with a relatively tame chronic infection. The Hollywood horror angle to this scenario is that the "super-spreader" may have no idea he is infected.
Maybe this is who Tom Frieden really wants to reach. If you can diagnose people when they are most infectious, then perhaps the unrelenting cycle of HIV transmission among gay men can be arrested and reduced. For someone who has tackled outbreaks of TB, it makes sense. But will it work for HIV? By the time someone has visited a doctor with symptoms of primary HIV disease and has been confirmed positive, the most infectious phase is nearly over. So the disease detectives from the Department of Health hit the streets to find anyone our superspreader may have infected (they also want to find out who infected him and trace those contacts as well). If they can reach one of his infected contacts early enough then maybe the superspreader cycle can be broken. It's certainly worth a try. But when partners are anonymous or dimly recalled after drug-fueled lost weekends, it may be tough to make the connections. In the case of the New York patient, the word is that two of the people who may have infected him have been contacted, and one is cooperating with the health agency.
But HIV-negative people are not the only ones at risk. Another unspoken "super" in all of this is "superinfection." This is a much misunderstood medical term for acquiring one HIV infection on top of an existing infection (super, in Latin, means "above," not "faster-than-a-speeding-bullet"). Re-infection might be a less loaded term. Some people in the HIV community absolutely deny the possibility of superinfection, probably because it threatens a perceived freedom to have unprotected anal intercourse with other positive people, a practice called serosorting. There are theories and a few persuasive studies that say having HIV is protective against infection with a different strain of HIV. Nevertheless, there is incontrovertible proof that superinfection does occur. The worst case scenario, of course, is if a person on ARVs with fully suppressed HIV becomes re-infected with an untreatable, multi-drug resistant strain of HIV that takes over and plunges him into AIDS. Superinfection has been convincingly detected in several individuals and in a few longitudinal studies. The question now is how often, how likely, and how clinically relevant these events are. One study described at the 12th Retrovirus Conference calculated that re-infections may occur as often as initial infections. So, a multi-drug resistant strain of HIV being passed around is a potential problem for both negative and positive people.
One new tactic Frieden is taking to tackle resistance is to demand that every diagnostic laboratory in the country notify his department whenever a multi-drug resistant specimen turns up that has originated in New York City. They have asked labs to be on the lookout for not only the specific strain (the technical term is quasispecies) that caused the panic, but also for every instance of HIV with a more broadly defined set of resistance mutations. At the very least, this should soon give an indication of whether this particular virus is a cause for concern or a virological oddity. Beyond that, it will add interesting information about the prevalence of drug resistance in New York to what we know from other sources. But how will this help prevent new infections? If the disease detectives are not swamped with processing the reports, they may hit upon a recent seroconverter and make an effective intervention. But these are people who should be the focus of prevention efforts anyway, whether they have acquired a drug-resistant strain of not. A better way to reach these people, it seems, is to create more opportunities to access medical care, train more doctors to suspect HIV, take better sexual histories and perform more tests. This will require resources and education.
So, was this virus really that special? Almost all transmitted viruses use the CCR5 coreceptor to gain entry to a new host cell. CCR5-using HIV is most commonly found during the early years of infection, but in some people, the virus eventually switches and begins to use another coreceptor, CXCR4. The switch to using CXCR4 is associated with a much more rapid loss of CD4 cells and progressive disease. Ominously, the New York patient appeared with a virus that could use CXCR4 only a few weeks after his infection. Also, it is generally thought that drug-resistant HIV is less capable of replication than the wild type and therefore more difficult to transmit. But this virus had a replication capacity equal to or better than the average wild-type virus. These facts, more than the drug resistance, make this a curious and unsettling case.
While Frieden put most of the emphasis on the viral "strain," most HIV scientists who heard about the patient that Friday afternoon immediately thought the explanation likely lay with the person. "More often than not, (rapid progression) has something to do with the person infected; not the virus itself," said Anthony Fauci, perhaps the only AIDS scientist better known than Dr. Ho. Some people are more genetically susceptible to HIV and disease progression than others. Yet of the 20 or so immunological characteristics known to be associated with AIDS onset, this person had none. That does not mean that some other factor wasn't responsible. New interactions between the host and the virus are reported almost every month. One telling aspect to this case was that the patient apparently failed to mount any significant immune challenge to the infection and that his CD8 cell count fell along with his CD4 count. But again, there is no way of knowing if this was due to the virus or the person.
Some people initially speculated that crystal meth had played a role in wearing down his immune system or somehow revving up the virus. But there is nothing solid in the medical literature that points to this, although the patient's reported 20 pound weight loss during that period might just as well be attributed to crystal meth use as to AIDS.
So, agendas aside, there were some strikingly unusual and alarming aspects to this case. It certainly must have seemed that way to Martin Markowitz, the researcher at Aaron Diamond who evaluated the patient. After the story broke and criticism began swirling about the decision to go public, Markowitz spoke before a group of New York physicians, where he described the patient and distributed a draft of an op-ed piece he had written about the new strain, which he compared to "a silent tsunami." An attendee at the meeting recalled that the researcher was adamant about the significance of the case and accused the doctors of "looking for a horse" when faced with a stampeding "herd of zebras." Markowitz subsequently attended the Retrovirus Conference, where a special session had been called to discuss the case, but left the presentation to Dr. Ho, who, it became clear, had been unaware of many details of the case (such as whether the individual had ever injected methamphetamine or not -- we were later told he hadn't).
So the question remains: Is this case the tip of the iceberg of some new, highly virulent strain of HIV that is spreading even as you read this? Or was it a perfect storm involving an unusual (but hardly unique) case that became super-sized by runaway imaginations, inflated egos, political opportunism and a gullible press? Was the brouhaha over this individual simply a heavy-handed way of getting the attention of New York's doctors and at-risk communities? Dr. Frieden and other health department representatives have repeatedly said it would have been irresponsible not to announce the case.
Whatever the merits of the decision to launch this story around the world, the fact is that, in New York at least, a few more people are talking about HIV and the reality that gay men still become infected every day. Hopefully, some are learning that adherence can prevent drug resistance and that condoms can prevent new infections. But with all the noise about this virus, how many ever learned about the symptoms of primary HIV infection?
One wonders: if this particular virus of mass destruction does not exist, would it have to be invented as a pretext for a renewed war on AIDS? If the only way to get the gay community's attention is by hitting us in the head with the two-by-four of a super virus, then do the ends justify the means? I suppose it depends on what comes of all this. Fear has never been demonstrated to be a sustainable prevention aid. Most agree that clear information and enlightened self interest work better. Dr. Frieden has stimulated some discussion here in New York, and he may uncover some interesting facts about drug resistant HIV in the city as well. Hopefully, this will all result in a net reduction of new infections when his department reports their HIV incidence numbers next year.
* It turned out that his virus was phenotypically susceptible to efavirenz and delavirdine. At last word he was being treated with a multi-drug combination and his viral load had dropped.

ZURICH, Switzerland, March 8 (UPI) -- One of Switzerland's nuclear plants must shut down by June 2013 because of safety issues, the Swiss Federal Administrative Court said.
The Muhleberg plant near Bern, built in 1972, is one of five nuclear facilities in Switzerland and provides 5 percent of the country's energy needs. It will be phased out because a three-month shutdown in 2011 revealed cracks in the reactor's core shroud, as well as other issues, the Swissinfo news service reported Thursday.
The ruling of the court, made March 1 but released Wednesday, also mentioned security concerns that include the inconclusive evaluation of the Muhleberg plant's vulnerability to earthquakes and its reliance on the nearby Aare River for cooling.
In light of the country's heavy reliance on nuclear power and the government's re-evaluation of its energy policy following the March 2011 Fukushima disaster in Japan, Switzerland has pledged to abandon nuclear power as an energy source by 2034, Swissinfo said.

"The Intel Atom processor line is associated with low power usage in devices such as a netbook or nettop computer. The emphasis is definitely not on performance, it's on pushing up battery life on a device with a small display and mid-range graphics requirements while still managing a decent desktop experience. Microsoft thinks Atom can do more, though, and wants to use it in servers. With that in mind it is calling on Intel to up the cores in an Atom chip to 16, and deploying it as a low power server chip solution."

Here is alink to the youtube video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fa_cooyJfUI I am thinking of how I can use this in my classes, but, first, I have to see the price, hehe. When I saw it, I automatically thought about English teaching and how this could be used to enhance my teaching with videos and the ability to show it on a wall as opposed to a tablet device. So, here is the question, do you see yourself using this in your English classes, especially for people who give small group classes and who are working in schools where access to technology is very difficult? I am looking forward to your input and having a healthy discussion about this.

Interface is an issue. As a mobile presenter, OK. I'll never use one though - I have no need for it. I'd also be a little concerned about the brightness of the projector. I get the impression that the lamp is weak - weak enough, perhaps, to make viewing a noticeable problem even in a room with the lights off and blinds down. Basically, I would prefer a pico projector with an independent power supply and a netbook-grade laptop over that phone any day. The only saving grace might be the price of the phone, but I would expect it to be sufficiently high enough for the phone company to 'mask' its true cost by working it into a contract.

It's amazing how it looks great on the commercial, but then again, everything looks great and works to perfection in a commercial. I was really looking at it because it would be one piece and not two that I would have to hook up and carry atound with me. I am looking to see what other reviewers say and I can wait for the technology to ge better. Get this, in Madrid, in a lot of companies, you can't even get access to a laptop, not even to mention a screen or a projector. This is why I posed the question on this forum. I know that it dpepends on where you teach in the world and if the technology is readily available in your classroom. Thanks again and I look forward to what others have to say as well. Shawn Back to top edd_moseleyJoined: 24 Jun 2009Posts: 26 Posted: Sat Jun 01, 2013 5:37 pm Post subject: Galaxy Beam I had a chance to play with one last month as i was also thinking about using one in the classroom, more along the lines of last minute/ random topic presentation device. On the software side of things, it would be a very capable device, as it was running the newest version of android - Jellybean. And with the way technology is going, everything on the cloud, etc. I really think this is the future of presentation devices. .....HOWEVER.... Mr_monkey's impression is right. The lamp is too weak, you would need zero light coming in the room, then after that the screen size is only around 40 inches. So i think its best to wait a little longer until the brightness improves, then i think i will be adding one to the shopping cart. Back to top Kent F.

A very interesting concept in a mobile phone, for sure, and potentially useful for an ESL teacher. I wonder, though, how the 2000 mAh battery would hold up after a couple hours of continual use. With a brighter lamp, it would be even more of a concern. If they were to throw in a 3300 mAh battery (like the Motorola RAZR MAXX) I'd take a serious look at it.

Colour Management
by daedalus on Thu 17th Nov 2011 09:09 UTC
Very interesting, since colour management is something which forces me to still use Windows. I've never managed to get it working properly under Ubuntu LTS and Gnome... I must give it a try and see how it fares in that department. Does anyone know how well CUPS deals with printer colour profiles, if at all? I never even got that far...

By all means enjoy her hapless attempts to shampoo a man out of her hair. But if you fall totally in love with Ensign Nellie Forbush, then you're not watching the right "South Pacific." As Oscar Hammerstein II wrote, in that disarmingly simple lyric, "You've got to be taught to hate and fear." And Nellie was very much the willing recipient of that lesson.
So maybe Mary Martin missed it on Broadway. But in the right "South Pacific" (and director David H. Bell's carefully wrought and strikingly nuanced revival at the Marriott Lincolnshire has much that is right), the happy and romantic ending of this great 1949 American musical set among the Seabees and nurses of the Pacific theater, the ending wherein Nellie gets over her issues and reinvents herself as a tolerant soul after she almost loses her romantic French planter to Japanese guns, comes with some ambivalence, ideally a note of raw fear, as that chirpy nurse sings "Dites-Moi" with Emile de Becque's cute biracial kids.
Sure, you can see hope for America in her about-face, or the Broadway notion that love conquers everything. Or you can see a musical that brilliantly captured racial unease among the grass skirts and high jinks. Either way, Nellie is the main canvas.
Rather than bringing in some Broadway name, Bell made the very smart choice of casting young Chicago actress Elizabeth Lanza, who first commanded attention in "The Light in the Piazza" at the tiny but distinguished Theo Ubique Theatre.
Now "South Pacific" shows up in the Chicago area about two or three times a year. And why not? I could listen weekly to such numbers as "Some Enchanted Evening" and "Younger Than Springtime."
And every time I see the piece, I have Bartlett Sher's emotionally entrancing Lincoln Center revival playing in my head. Can't help that.
But of all the Nellies I've seen, and there have been many, I don't think I've ever believed one came from Little Rock quite like I believe Lanza as an Arkansas gal, far from home. Lanza, whose voice is just delightful, rushes headlong into her Nellie, never shading her limitations and thus you don't ever quite love her, which is exactly as it should be.
Better yet, you can see the same nervousness in the eyes of Stephen R. Buntrock, who brings a certain melancholy and insecurity to Emile, even as he delivers the requisite vocal force in "This Nearly Was Mine," a great ode to longing which is so often sung without a real sense of loss. Ben Jacoby, the handsome young singer who plays Cable, also has the right note or two of self-loathing. His privileged character is fevered, and Jacoby's performance shakes just enough.
Bell has come up with adroit local casting, including Stef Tovar as comic Luther Billis, a character Tovar infuses with just enough realism for you to see that Billis never will be this happy again, and Bethany Thomas, whose Bloody Mary could use more comedic confidence, perhaps, but surely is rich, musically full and dramatically potent.
One wouldn't say the production values embrace all this unease. Some of the scenes are more routine — there is one spot on the stage, a tree trunk with a view of Bali Ha'i, to which characters retreat so frequently, you wonder why Bloody Mary does not open up a concession there. But Thomas M. Ryan's set is more immersive than has recently been typical at the Marriott. The orchestral sound coming from that darn box feels richer and fuller (there are 10 pieces), and Matt Raftery's unobtrusive but sometimes moving choreography (especially toward the end) fuses well into Bell's snapshot of young, confused people who would go home to a changing America, some leading it, some wishing they were still back on that island.
