On Sunday, EGPAF, mothers2mothers (M2M) and Johnson & Johnson (J&J) hosted a satellite entitled "Eliminating pediatric AIDS and keeping mothers alive from an implementation perspective – best practices, programmatic barriers and bottlenecks in the field." This was a four-part/panel series of presentations moderated by John Donnelly, a journalist from GlobalPost.
The first part had to do with country-level approaches around building capacity of HIV service implementers, which highlighted Kenya's mentor mothers approach (where HIV-positive mothers are trained to coordinate access to and retention in care among other HIV-positive mothers), EGPAF-Zimbabwe's experiences in reducing costs of all-level health care worker training by reduction in time of training and facilitators (saving $185.00 per participant), and SAATHI's experience in engaging the private sector to increase local PMTCT capacity (including collaboration of 17 NGOs to increase private site coverage, which has reached 1.2 million women with PMTCT care).
The second panel focused on supporting continuity of care and featured m2m's work on mother mentors in retaining women through use of smartphones and SMS reminders, and NASCOPs implementation of a courier system to shorten turnaround time for early infant diagnosis of HIV.
The next panel was centered around how to create demand to increase uptake of PMTCT. Examples included the use of m2m mentor mothers, who increase quality of care to clients by relieving health worker burden/task shifting, EGPAF-Zambia's integration of syphilis and HIV testing (through innovations in rapid testing) and the use of 8 steps to roll out effective integration, and EGPAF-Lesotho's implementation of integrated health services and the use of Family Health Days, or mobile health services which offer a variety of testing and treatment options for HIV, opportunistic infections.
The final panel focused on data use and highlighted m2m's "let's SOAR" initiative, which included a quarterly data review component, where site coordinators could review daily recorded data and assess areas for needed improvement, EGPAF-Swaziland's data collection and review mentorship activities, EGPAF-Rwanda's implementation of an excel macro tools to issue feedback to supported facilities through reports of facility and district data (from which facilities could see where improvements were needed), and EGPAF-Tanzania's experience implementing quality improvement initiatives to strengthen pediatric care.
Delegates brought interesting questions into the discussion. One of which was how can we better prioritize the "keeping their mothers alive" portion of the global plan. It's an important point for upcoming work on elimination of MTCT.

Télévision de Radio-Canada in Winnipeg (CBWFT-TV) is now broadcasting a digital signal over-the-air.
What should I know about digital over-the-air television?
Digital television (DTV) is a new technology for the broadcasting of television signals. DTV signals are delivered to your television set in a stream of bits, whereas analog signals are transmitted by continuously varying radio waves. Compared to analog broadcasting, transmitting digital television signals is more effective and provides sharper picture, improved sound, and additional features to television viewers.

As a kid, the adventures of housepets Shadow, Chance and Sassy across the country to find their estranged owners in Disney's Homeward Bound was a staple. Complete with the voices of Michael J. Fox, Charleton Heston ,and Sally Field to provide the Look Who's Talking-esque voices of the two dogs and feisty cat, it's a charming family romp. Now filmmaking duo Andres and Diego Meza Valdes have used the wonderful resource that is Kickstarter to make Play Dead, a short film that they describe as the unauthorized sequel to Homeward Bound, with pack of dogs trying to survive a zombie apocalypse in the streets of Miami.
Official Synopsis
A zombie apocalypse unites a ragtag pack of dogs in the ruined streets of Miami. Immune to the epidemic, they must stick together to survive in the midst of ferocious undead and human survivors in this unauthorized sequel to Homeward Bound." The filmmakers actually got this film off the ground with Kickstarter when it was only two years old and didn't have the same following it has today (something we try to bolster with our Kickstart This feature every week). This really isn't something for the kids, but it's a wholly entertaining blend of childhood whimsy and horror gore.

Latest Updates
Results of post-mortem should be made public in the next few days
The nurse who took her own life after connecting a hoax call from two Australian DJs left a suicide note, it was revealed today.
The Sun has reported that Ms Saldanha is believed to have hung herself, but a source has told the Royalist that results of a post mortem being carried out today may not be published until Thursday.

The London Evening Standard is reporting that Jacintha Saldanha, 46, wrote a message to her family before she died, but the contents of the note have not been revealed.
Kate won't be seen in public till Christmas, at the earliest
Kate Middleton is still extremely unwell and has pulled out of her last remaining public engagement before Christmas, a premiere of the new film The Hobbit in London tonight, as her condition continues to remain a cause for concern.

The Duchess spent three nights at the King Edward VII Hospital in London last week being treated for an acute form of pregnancy sickness called hyperemesis gravidarum, which can cause women to vomit up to 30 times a day. She was severely dehydrated and had to be put on a drip.
She was profoundly upset by the tragedy of nurse Jacintha Saldhana who committed suicide after she was fooled by a prank call to the hospital.
Dignity of bereaved husband and his two children
Holding a photograph of his dead wife in one arm, with the other curled protectively around his 14-year-old daughter, Benedict Barboza, 49, the husband of Jacintha Saldanha, the nurse who killed herself after falling for a prank phone call, cut a dignified and tragic figure as he attended a meeting in the House of Commons in London with Britain's leading Asian member of parliament, Keith Vaz today.
Dan Kitwood / Getty Images
Just hours earlier Mr Vaz had publicly accused her employer of failing to support them on BBC radio, suggesting that the radio DJs were being offered more support than Jacinthah's family.
Mr Barboza, a hospital accountant, embraced Mr Vaz before he went into the House of Commons with him and his family members for a meeting. Mr Vaz emerged later on and said: "They are extremely grateful to the public here in the UK and throughout the world who have sent them messages of condolences and support following the death of Jacintha - a loving mother and a loving wife. This is a close family - they are devastated by what has happened. They miss her every moment of every day."
British MP Keith Vaz expresses dismay that Australian DJs have received more counseling than Jacintha's family
A British member of parliament who visited Jacintha Saldanha's family at their home over the weekend said they have been left "shocked and bewildered" by her death but he expressed dismay that they have yet to be offered counseling by the King Edward VII hospital or visited in person by a representative of the hospital.
Meanwhile the hospital flatly denied claims made by the Australian radio station 2DayFM that they had made five attempts to contact the hospital prior to broadcasting the prank call. A source at the hospital's PR company told the Royalist: "We have all checked out phones, as has the hospital, and we can find no record of these calls."

MP Keith Vaz told BBC radio: "The hospital has sent them a letter which I have seen, but I am a little surprised that nobody has made the journey to Bristol to sit with them and offer the counseling they need. More support needs to be given. I've spoken to the chairman of the hospital. There is a need to demonstrate that support. A hundred or so miles should not prevent the kind of support that they need."
Australian DJs speak for the first time of their devastation
This is the full text of the interview with the Australian DJs on Channel 9.
Kate Sick Again, William Clears Diary
Kate's acute morning sickness is back
Poor Kate Middleton is having a pretty horrible pregnancy.
And having appeared to be on the road to recovery over last week, her condition deteriorated so badly over the weekend that Prince William cancelled a public appearance at a military event last night to be by her side, and has decided to continue his compassionate leave to stay by his wife's side in London.
Kate has not been readmitted to hospital but it's still an undeniably unpleasant start to what should be one of the most joyous events in Kate's life, even before one takes into account the tragic turn of events at the King Edward VII hospital.
The duchess is known to be profoundly upset by the unfolding tragedy of the suicide of nurse Jacintha Saldanha following a prank call by two Australian DJs, and she was sufficiently unwell that William did not feel comfortable leaving her to attend the British Military Tournament at Earl's Court yesterday evening. He has now cancelled plans to return to Wales to work this week, and is instead extending his compassionate leave to remain by her side until Thursday.
Mel Greig and Michael Christian spoke of their devastation in interviews with Australian news channels today
The two Australian DJs who made the prank call to Kate Middleton's hospital which appears to have led to the suicide of nurse Jacintha Saldanha on Friday have spoken for the first time since her death, giving a series of emotional interviews on Australian news channels, speaking of their devastation at the nurse's suicide and the possibility they may have caused it.
Mel Greig said there was 'nothing that could make me feel worse than I feel now" and Michael Christian said he was, "shattered, gutted and heartbroken".
They spoke to Clare Brady on Channel 7's Today Tonight and Tracy Grimshaw on Channel 9's A Current Affair. Read a full transcript of their Channel 9 Interview here.
"I remember my first question was, 'Was she a mother?' Ms Greig told Channel Seven. "I am very sorry and saddened for the family. I can't imagine what they are going through ... I am just so devastated for them. I am really feeling for them. It was never meant to go that far. This wasn't meant to happen."
No Sign That Kate Middleton Suicide Nurse Was Unstable
Jacintha Saldahna was a timid and nervous person, but no-one suspected she would take her own life
Although she was timid and described herself as 'a very nervous person', there was no sign that Jacintha Saldanha was suicidal, unstable or psychologically frail before the fateful moment when, in the early hours of Tuesday morning, working the night shift at King Edward VII Hospital with no full-time receptionist on duty, she picked up a ringing phone.
Down the line a mangled British accent asked to speak to "Kate, my granddaughter," and Mrs Saldahna, for whom English was a second language, was fooled. She put the call through.

Although Prince Charles would soon be joking about the incident, laughing it off and telling reporters he might be 'a radio station', it was, apparently, a mistake for which Mrs Saldahna was unable to forgive herself.
Kate's Merry Pranksters
The radio station behind the royal stunt that appears to have led to a young nurse's suicide has a history of crude behavior. Kevin Fallon on the chastened shock jocks at Sydney's 2Day FM.
Yesterday, they were bragging about "the prank call the world is talking about." Now, the woman they duped has apparently committed suicide, and Australian DJs Mel Greig and Michael Christian have voluntarily suspended themselves from their radio program.

(AAP Image, Southern Cross Austereo Sydney / AP Photo)
Greig and Christian are immediate casualties—but for 2Day FM, the Sydney radio station that employed them, this disgrace has been a long time coming.
For over a decade, 2Day FM, which launched in 1980 as one of three radio stations to be granted FM broadcasting licenses in Sydney, has marched on the edge of propriety, fostering a culture of shock jocks and raunchy content. Various hosts working for the station have deployed an alarming amount of questionable stunts in an attempt to goose ratings, which have been on a roller-coaster course for much of the past decade.
Nurse was found yards away from the hospital.
The prank phone call saga in which two Australian DJs impersonated the queen and got connected to a nurse looking after Kate Middleton took a tragic turn today after the nurse who was working on reception in the early hours of Tuesday morning and put the call through committed suicide. She was found shortly after 9 a.m. today.
A St. James's Palace Spokesman said: "The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are deeply saddened to learn of the death of Jacintha Saldanha. Their Royal Highnesses were looked after so wonderfully well at all times by everybody at King Edward VII Hospital, and their thoughts and prayers are with Jacintha Saldanha's family, friends and colleagues at this very sad time."
The hospital issued a statement today, saying: "With very deep sadness, the death is confirmed of a member of our nursing staff. Jacintha Saldanha has worked at the hospital for four years. She was an excellent nurse and well respected and popular with her colleagues.
"We can confirm that Jacintha was recently the victim of a hoax call to the hospital. The hospital had been supporting her through this difficult time. Jacintha was a first class nurse who cared diligently for hundreds of patients during her time with us. Our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with her family and friends."
Is Skinny Kate Too Thin To Be Pregnant?
Speculation about Kate's weight - estimated to be 125lbs - continues.
Katie Couric said a few months ago that she thought Kate Middleton was 'too thin' and although obstetricians have said that Kate's 125-lb frame is unlikely to have been a contributing factor in her acute morning sickness, speculation continues that she is underweight, or suffering 'pregorexia', the coin termed for women dealing with eating diorders while pregnant.

Time.com carries a report on Kate's weight today, with a statemement from the National Eating Disorders Association, saying that, "some women with disordered eating are able to more easily cope with weight gain during pregnancy because they see it as a sacrifice for an important cause. But others may plunge into deep depression as they struggle with the tension between the idea of weight gain and their body image issues."
However, the news weekly's website has struggled to get an expert to state categorically that she is too thin to carry a child safely. The report states:
Will Kate Pick the Portland?
One of Kate's gynecologists delivers exclusively at London's fanciest maternity hospital, The Portland. Will Kate have her baby there?
While the rest of the Royal-watching population have spent the past few days focused on Kate's extreme morning sickness, London's super-rich Moms have been busily speculating about where the royal tot will be born.

London, like New York, Los Angeles or Hong Kong, has an extensive choice of posh maternity hospitals. Princess Diana had her boys at the private Lindo wing of St Mary's Paddington (with no drugs). The luxurious private rooms at Queen Charlotte's hospital in north London or the Chelsea and Westminster at the top of the King's Road are popular choices for London's more affluent mothers-to-be. But the betting has shortened significantly on Kate choosing the fanciest and most exclusive of all London's maternity hospitals, the Portland, near Regent's Park, after Dr Marcus Setchell, London's grandest obstetrician, who delivers exclusively at the Portland, was spotted coming out of the King Edward hospital where Kate spent the last few days. Princesses Betarice and Eugenie were born at the Portland.

Kate: Always Ready For Her Close Up
Hard to believe the woman who stepped out of a London hospital today with a Prince on her arm clutching a bunch yellow flowers had spent three days throwing up. A genius piece on The Telegraph's fashion blog congratulates her, and also breaks down Kate's out of hospital look.
What might look to some like casually pulled back hairdo, is in fact a thoroughly glossy blowdry - most likely courtesy of Kate's go-to guy, James Pryce from Atelier - neatly pinned in place, Bardot style, at the nape of her neck.
Her stylist (yes, of course she has one), picked out the perfect 'cover-up' - a sensible but pretty dress coat that leaves everything to the imagination, and a lavender pashmina scarf which not only perked up her complexion, but even coordinated with William's cosy knit.
And of course, nothing says: "You can p**s off if you think you're getting a picture of my tummy" better than an enormous bunch of strategically placed yellow roses
Kate discharged after three night stay in hospital
Kate checked out of hospital today after a three-night stay interrupted only by a prank call from an Australian radio station.
As she stepped into a waiting car, clutching a bouquet of yellow flowers with her husband by her side, the Duchess told reporters in reply to their shouted questions, "I'm feeling much better, thank you."

St James's Palace released a short statement saying: "The Duchess of Cambridge has been discharged from the King Edward VII Hospital and will now head to Kensington Palace for a period of rest. "Their Royal Highnesses would like to thank the staff at the hospital for the care and treatment The Duchess has received."
William Must Leave Kate to Go Back to Work
William Forced to Leave Kate to Go Back to RAF Duties
In yet another break with royal tradition, Prince William has been spending every spare minute by his wife's bedside over the past few days of her hospitilisation. He arrived back at King Edward hospital this morning shortly after 9am (presumably just after she had been 'freshened up').
It's quite a different attitude to his father, Prince Charles, who spent just 17 minutes with a young William when he was treated for a head injury as a schoolboy before going to the opera.
SAC Faye Storer
But over the next few days the young royal couple will have to face up to the fact that they are probably going to spend a large chunk of her pregnancy separated. Kate is expected to stay in London to be near doctors because the condition that the duchess, who is believed to be only eight weeks pregnant, has been diagnosed with can last for the first five months of pregnancy and sometimes for the duration. William is obliged to return to his RAF base in Anglesey in Wales to make up his flying hours, which were severely impacted by the amount of time he had to take off work for the diamond jubilee celebrations. He is currently understood to be on compassionate leave.

LAS CRUCES, N.M. (AP) - Louisiana Tech missed three field goals in the first half. The 24th-ranked Bulldogs had no big runs or passes, and carried a slim lead into the locker room.
Colby Cameron and Co. picked it up in time to earn a landmark win for the school.
Cameron passed for a touchdown and ran for a score in the third quarter, helping Louisiana Tech beat New Mexico State 28-14 on Saturday night for the Bulldogs' first victory as a ranked team.
"We did what we had to do to win," coach Sonny Dykes said. "It wasn't a real pretty game. Anytime you go on the road and come out with a win, it's a good game."
New Mexico State lost two fumbles and Andrew Manley threw an interception, damaging the Aggies' chances of springing the upset.
Cameron tossed a 44-yard touchdown pass to Myles White and had a 2-yard TD run after Louisiana Tech led 7-0 at halftime. Ray Holley extended the lead to 28-0 with a career-long 83-yard run in the fourth.
The slow start was quite the contrast to last week, when the Bulldogs rolled up a school-record 839 yards of offense in a 70-28 victory against Idaho.
"I guess we are human," said Cameron, who completed 29 of 44 passes for 292 yards. "It was kind of like a gut check to us that we need to get better."
Louisiana Tech (7-1, 2-0 WAC) has won consecutive games since its only loss of the season against Texas A&M. It's hoping to remain in the Top 25 for consecutive weeks for the first time in school history.
Safety Chad Boyd, whose interception in the fourth quarter led to a touchdown, said the defense was glad it stepped up on a night the offense was struggling early on.
"It's a confidence booster," he said.
Holley had 130 yards rushing for the Bulldogs, who failed to win a game as a ranked team in two previous tries.
Louisiana Tech was No. 25 when it lost to Southern California in 1999. The Bulldogs weren't ranked again until this season, when they were No. 23 when they lost 59-57 to Texas A&M.
Louisiana Tech continued its streak of breaking records Saturday when Ryan Allen recorded a school-record 85-yard punt in the first quarter.
But it was the lowest scoring total for the season for the Bulldogs, who host UTSA in their next game.
New Mexico State (1-7, 0-4 WAC) has dropped seven consecutive games. This will be the 52nd consecutive year that the Aggies failed to make it to a bowl game.
Aggies coach DeWayne Walker said despite the loss, he was pleased NMSU's defense was able to slow down Tech's high-powered offense. Walker said the team feared giving up 70 points and focused on stopping the running game.
"No question this was our best defensive game played this year," Walker said. "We definitely didn't want to be part of the 70 club."

Beer vs. Wine Dinner at Brauhaus Schmitz
Posted by Jason Sheehan on November 14th, 2012
Yeah, there are a lot of pairing dinners out there these days. Wine pairings, beer pairings, whiskey and champagne and gin pairings. But one thing we haven't seen yet? A pairing dinner turned into a battle between beer lovers and oenophiles, where the best pairing for each course will be chosen by the participants and winners chosen in the age-old fight between beer drinkers and winos.
At least not until now. On Tuesday, November 20, at Brauhaus Schmitz (advantage: beer), owner Doug Hager and chef Jeremy Nolen will be teaming up with gentleman of leisure Michael Solomonov and certified wine nerd Marnie Old (local wine consultant and author of He Said Wine, She Said Beer) to do a one-night-only Battle of the Booze. The deal is, five courses will be presented, paired with both a wine and a beer. Those in attendance will get to choose which pairing is the best and, one must assume, mock the loser.
The Menu
1st Course
Chestnut stuffed pasta, pumpernickel crumbs, riesling veloute, aged gouda
2nd Course
Hühner Leber Schnitzel
Chicken liver schnitzel "BLT"
3rd Course
Halibut stuffed cabbage rolls, passion fruit-mango pickle
4th Course
Confit pork elly, turnip-sauerkraut gratin, maggi glaze
5th Course
Malted pot de creme, chocolate covered pretzel stick
So yeah, 5 courses, passed hors d'oeuvres, lots to drink and plenty of fun. Tickets are $75 per person (plus tax and tip), and there's only going to be one seating (at 7pm), so if you're into it, you should make reservations now by calling Brauhaus Schmitz at 267-909-8814.
And let's all hope that Marnie knows how to pair with German food, huh?

HTC ThunderBolt to get updated to Ice Cream Sandwich

A tweet from HTC USA brings the wonderful news that owners of the HTC ThunderBolt thought would never come, that sometime soon the handset will be receiving an update to Android 4.0 from the Android 2,3 that the phone currently runs on; the bad news is that this update will be the last for the HTC ThunderBolt as Android 4.1 will not make an appearance on the model...

My friend still has the 3GS running IOS6 and to say it "lags" would be an understatement. Even scrolling through your apps....errr "homescreen" lags, web browsing is a joke, it takes forever to load a page like PhoneArena and even after it is finished, pinch to zoom and scrolling is impossible thanks to an endless checkerboarding. So please tell me, what good this "update" does for your phone, other than make it nearly useless? I used to envy my friend for having the 3GS vs my 3G because how much smoother and faster it was, now thanks to little to nothing updates, it is a complete lag fest. There's no excuse for it, IOS4,5,6 or hardly any different from one another, just some minor changes.

damn HTC TOO LITTLE too late it will probably wont get JELLY BEAN and the worst phone with battery life too
3. nnaatthhaannx2 posted on 19 Dec 2012, 21:17 9 0
It was the first 4G LTE phone. That's why the battery is so bad.
Updates are always nice, even if they are a little late.
14. speckledapple posted on 19 Dec 2012, 22:09 2 0
screw that because the samsung device that came out a little after that had much better battery life than the thunderbolt. That was just a very poorly made, designed, and implemented phone. Not to mention HTC and their complete lack of support to stand by and behind their products over the long haul.
28. winddroid posted on 20 Dec 2012, 00:33 1 0
Tell me about the Droid Charge update history. Oh that's right it didn't get updated. The Thunderbolt has seen much better support than the Fascinate or the Charge. I think this will be the first single core phone to be updated to ICS in the US that isn't a Nexus.

They called it the thunderbolt cause you needed 1.21 gigawatts just to check your e-mail.

What the hell is a gigawatt

Its the amount of power needed to run a flux capacitor.

Then wait till they wont update their THUNDERBOLT to Jelly Bean 4.1 & it gets cancelled

its not HTC's fault (not all of it)!
coz of that damn customize UI!
17. RORYREVOLUTION posted on 19 Dec 2012, 22:12 2 0
I hope you are being sarcastic....you do realize HTC is the one who put the "customize UI" on the device in the first place.....

So you're basically saying that it's not HTC's fault but that it is indeed HTC's fault.

About time! Glad I don't have that phone anymore...
It was good while I had it, but this Galaxy S3 is much better!

I wonder how long it will be before big red finally pushes it. I'll bet march 2013.
13. speckledapple posted on 19 Dec 2012, 22:07 1 2
Thats funny considering that I just upgraded to my brand new galaxy note 2 and will proudly never buy another HTC phone again. It figures that after how long they finally send an update. The lack of support that is why never again.
19. ChafedBanana posted on 19 Dec 2012, 22:20 2 3
No. The HTC Thunderbolt did not have bad battery life because it was VZW's 1st 4G phone. It had bad battery life because it was made by HTC. HTC's always have the worst battery life and its because HTC never puts a decent battery in their phones. HTC stands for Has To Charge. Look at their new DNA. They give it a 1080P display and a quad core! The battery is an after thought as usual. Just a 2000mah when a phone that new and powerful should have something more like a 2500 to 3000 at least. Especially because its not removable.
25. SkOne posted on 19 Dec 2012, 23:13 3 1
if you look at the battery life tests on the DNA, It did pretty well. and i have an evo 4g lte and i get a day and a half with moderate use, 3/4 of a day with heavy use.
30. g2a5b0e posted on 20 Dec 2012, 02:03 1 1
HTC = Has To Charge. LMAO!!! Brilliant. You get a thumbs up just for that. Awesome. I will say this though having owned an HTC phone: while their batteries are usually smaller on average than others, their software is usually very well optimized to handle it.
24. CRICKETownz posted on 19 Dec 2012, 22:46 1 3
thunderbolt? people still carry that phone? man...this article is completely pointless.
26. RORYREVOLUTION posted on 19 Dec 2012, 23:38 1 0
You would be surprised. We regulars here at PA might switch phones 2-3 times a year but some average folk actually hold true to their "2 year contract" and keep the phone they have through it. Sure the first patch of Verizon LTE phones had a lot of issues and I'm so glad I don't have to deal with them anymore, but there are some people who do still have them lol
36. Superpiff posted on 31 Jan 2013, 18:41 0 0
Yeah I still use an inspire 4g cause I don't have 600 dollars to drop on a phone and I don't want a contract.fortunately I no how to root so I'm already running jellybean
31. XPERIA-KNIGHT posted on 20 Dec 2012, 02:44 2 1
ummmm verizon.......can you update the droid incredible 4g lte now? thank you
34. johnriii posted on 20 Dec 2012, 07:39 0 0
HTC Thunderbolt. finally getting ICS...with no release date in sight. I am SO glad I no longer have that phone. Verizon actually (gasp!) "offered" me the Rezound instead of a refurbed Tbolt, due to connectivity problems. I've had the Rezound for two weeks, and I LOVE it. battery life is better, data connectivity is awesome, and I get to officially upgrade in July. merry Xmas to me!!!
35. brd8951 posted on 20 Dec 2012, 13:31 1 0
That's great news.....for the 9 of us that still have the phone. I actually love the phone. With the proper power settings and the Rezound's battery in mine I can easily get through a day with moderate usage. It was the first of it's kind and there was a lot to be learned. What I find funny, is that over on Phonescoop.com, it still gets better reviews than the GSIII and other phones that are much better IMO. I am very much looking forward to getting this update, hopefully soon. I've been using Go Launcher for a while but it bogs down the phone and is becoming annoying. I'm planning on getting the Note II as soon as the price drops...currently $200 on Amazon Wireless.

Wayne J. Bilinovic
BW Class of 1990
Induction Class of 2009
Wayne Bilinovic '90 grew up in Cleveland, Ohio and was a standout basketball student-athlete at Garfield Heights Trinity High School. He played basketball at Baldwin Wallace University from 1986-1990 and was one of the finest point guards to ever wear the Brown & Gold.
He was a four-year starter and a two-time captain of the Yellow Jacket squad. During his four-year career, he averaged 7.6 points and 2.1 rebounds per game in 106 career games, but passing the basketball was his specialty as he carved his name into the BW record books with 540 career assists. That record still stands today. The Yellow Jackets increased their total victories in every season he played. He was honored as BW's Outstanding Senior Male Athlete, an All-OAC selection and OAC Player of the Week choice and as a Basketball Gazette honorable mention Division III All-American in 1989-90. He ended his career as just one of 12 players in NCAA history to record more than 800 points and 500 assists.
Bilinovic not only stood out on the court but also in the classroom where he earned first-team Academic All-OAC and CoSIDA/GTE Academic All-District IV honors three times and was a CoSIDA/GTE second-team Academic All-American in 1989-90. He also was nominated for the OAC Clyde Lamb award and graduated with a 3.8 grade point average in accounting.

The Government intends to abolish, by 1 October 2011, the Default Retirement Age (DRA) of 65 contained in the Employment Equality (Age) Regulations 2006 and has published a consultation document on how it proposes to achieve its aim.
Under the proposals, there will be a six-month transition period beginning on 6 April 2011. From this date, employers will not be able to issue any notification for compulsory retirement using the DRA procedure. Between 6 April and 1 October, only employees who were notified before 6 April and whose retirement date falls before 1 October can be compulsorily retired using the DRA.
From 1 October 2011, the DRA will be abolished and the consultation proposes relieving employers of the administrative burden of the associated statutory retirement procedures. From that date, individual employers will only be able to operate a mandatory retirement age if this can be objectively justified as a 'proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim'. As the consultation points out, 'It is not easy to demonstrate that a retirement age is objectively justified, so the employer should be confident that it can be objectively justified before deciding to use a retirement age' and an employee will still have the right to request to work beyond the employer's mandatory retirement age where one is in operation. Where an employer chooses to have in place a mandatory retirement age and this cannot be objectively justified, it could face claims of age discrimination and/or unfair dismissal.
The consultation, Phasing out the Default Retirement Age, can be found on the Department for Business, Innovation & Skills website. It closes on 21 October 2010.
The Government's proposals will impact on many employment rights, such as pension schemes and age-related benefits, and this consultation specifically seeks views on the consequences of removing the DRA with regard to insured benefits and employee share plans.

No reason to stick around Fort Collins the whole time, right? We know we want to get out and be with those festivals and we just got a head start by visiting the Arizona Ren Fest this year. Early this spring it was a beautiful 72 degrees at the AzRenFest; Located 20 miles east of Phoenix, this festival is billed as one of the largest of its kind in the nation. Now we're ready for the next bunch of festivals and we hope to catch as many as we can that can not be found  in Larimer County:
May 21-22 Longmont Strawberry Fest – Longmont, Colorado
June 10-11 Greeley Blues Jam – Greeley, Colorado
June 16 – 19 Telluride Bluegrass Fest – Telluride, Colorado
June 11 – July 31 Â Colorado Ren Fest – Castle Rock, Colorado
August 12 – 14 Left-Handers Appreciation Weekend – Niwot, Colorado
August 25-28 Ned Fest – Nederland, Colorado
OK, sure we will make it to Loveland Loves BBQ and the Taste of Fort Collins and all those other things in-between (Like the RAGBRAI); Don't worry, we've got it covered. Â See you there!

There is an effort to make sure first responders all across Vermont are trained to spot potentially dangerous meth labs.
While some stores are selling more guns, one national change has decided to take some off the shelves.
Dick's Sporting Goods has pulled certain rifles from its stores, including the one in Williston, Vermont.
The company released a statement Tuesday.
In it, officials say they are heartbroken over the shooting in Newtown.
Some Vermonters say they aren't sure if this will make a difference.
"These are weapons that kind of go above and beyond that. It's not the answer but it's certainly a step in the right direction," said Reuben Jackson.
"I think that gun and assault weapons like that are too readily available and I don't see the need for them in everyday life," said David Weiss.
In the Dick's Sporting Goods store near Newtown, Connecticut they took it a step further by removing all guns from the store.

Facing the Facts on World Food Day: Scarcity Isn't the Problem
This piece is also available in its entirety on The Huffington Post.
It's a good thing you're reading this piece electronically - if you had a hard copy, chances are it'd now be accessorized by a coffee ring and crumbs from your breakfast. I wouldn't mind, though. You might take a moment to feel extra appreciative of that spoonful of cereal as today is World Food Day.
Over the years, as I've traveled the globe with Action Against Hunger, many faces and stories have stuck with me – some haunt me – but one teenage boy named George I met three years ago in Uganda has come to serve as my guiding star. By the time I met George, Uganda was emerging from the depravity of a long civil war like none other in which young children were abducted and forced to kill or be killed. We talked about the struggles he and his family faced – the loss of friends and family to the war and the hunger and thirst that stalked his part of northern Uganda for years afterwards. He expressed a deep appreciation for the assistance he and his community had received, which had saved their lives and helped them regain stability and dignity. This kid had a wisdom and warmth that seemed a small miracle – and a symbol of a hopeful future. In passing a colleague said to the teen, "Hey, maybe you can work with us one day!" He paused, thought a moment, and replied, "Thank you, but I really hope you won't need to be here by the time I'm grown up." I so want to make him right. It's his face I see when I think about what's possible.
What George somehow knew was that even though the aid he was getting was needed at the time, he and his generation had to eradicate hunger for good. Not by filling and re-filling a void, but through permanent, sustainable solutions. Ending hunger, George knew, is the critical first step toward education and prosperity. So, what do we need to do to make it so? First and foremost, we need to debunk the major myth that persists – that hunger is all about food scarcity. It isn't. The Institute for Food Policy and Development once cited this as its #1 myth about hunger. We live in a world with abundance, where there's actually enough food to feed every person twice over. The problem is one of access, of poverty.
It's also one of nutrition. Our focus shouldn't be so single-mindedly about making more food, but rather getting better food to those who need it – especially children. Earlier this year at the Copenhagen Consensus, top economists from around the world concluded that the single most effective investment to combat the world's greatest challenges is micronutrient interventions for children, in the interest of fighting hunger and improving education. For example, something as simple and inexpensive as fortifying foods with Vitamin A and Zinc – nutrients that were in your morning breakfast cereal – has been proven to significantly increase immunity and decrease rates of infection, which are key to ensuring child growth and development.
We're at a critical turning point in our efforts to give the world's hungry children a second chance. For the first time in measured history, child deaths have fallen below seven million per year across the globe. Data released just last month by UNICEF and the United Nations Inter-agency Group for Child Mortality Estimation show that the number of children under the age of five dying globally has decreased, from nearly 12 million in 1990 to an estimated 6.9 million last year.
My colleagues in the NGO community and I are of course thrilled that the trend line of hunger continues to decline. The tragedy is that more than a third of those 6.9 million child deaths were caused by undernutrition. Acute malnutrition kills, and when it doesn't, it can cause permanent cognitive and physical damage. It really, truly, unequivocally doesn't have to be. Acute malnutrition is predictable and preventable, and totally treatable. It's also completely affordable; the micronutrient interventions I referenced above cost next to nothing per meal. For those kids already suffering from acute malnutrition, just $45 can provide a full treatment regimen. Ready-to-use therapeutic foods, or "RUTFs" in NGO-speak, are cheap, portable, and highly effective.
It makes sense that I'm thinking of George today, but the truth is that I think of him often. He's right, you know. NGOs like mine shouldn't have to work in Uganda, or anywhere else. It may sound crazy, but every single day I am diligently trying to work myself out of a job. It can happen in our lifetime. It should. It must.
Tell Us What You Think
What will you do to mark World Food Day? Nan was inspired by George--is there someone in your life who inspires you to give back?

5. | Dig Dug | ||
Mr B's Favorite Game The President refused Monica to play dig dug
1. | dig dug | ||
A sexual act where the man is on top and then suddenly moves up and positions his knees so that they are pinning the womens arms down. This leaves her defenseless to the onslaught of jizz that is about to ensue when the man proceeds to thoroughly coat her face with baby batter.
Bonus points for yelling "Dig Dug!" and pounding your chest when finished. "Dude, I totally dig dugged that chick last night. She fought it but she was no match for my manaise."
2. | Dig Dug | ||
Possibly the world's most sadistic game. Dig Dug is an Arcade game from the Midway and Namco heydey of games such as Pac-Man Galaga and Rally X. The game stars a white-clad miner named Dig Dug who has been charged with the task of ridding the tunnels below his home of monsters, usually strange google-things and cute dragons. The object of the game, as such, is to destroy them all, oftentimes the last enemy will attempt to escape.
The sadistic part is that you only have two weapons with which to dispatch your enemies. One of which is by digging paths underneath boulders, causing them to fall down, and hopefully crush your prey, not too sadistic, right? Well, the main way you'll be dispatching cute goggle-wearing google thingies and cute-looking baby-ish dragons is with your trusty harpoon and air pump. Yes, that's right, Dig Dug spears them with a harpoon, then uses an air pump to inflate them like balloons until they explode. Dig Dug hunted down the last orange google, and laughed maniacally as he inflated the poor thing until it burst.
What the hell were the Japanese on when they made this game? |
3. | dig dug | ||
Ever since we rented 'Taint Frenzy 11,' my boyfriend keeps bugging me to lick peanut butter off his dig dug.
4. | Dig Dug | ||
My dude My Hommie My Nigga or you can get rid of the my and just say Dude Hommie Nigga You can also say Dig Duggin which means: Chillin wit my dudes, my hommies or my niggas Dude 1 - Yo
Dude 2 - Wussup Dig Dug Dude 1 - Nuttin man lets just go get some pussy dawg Ex 2 Dude 1 - Dawg guess what just happened Dig Dug Dude 2 - What man?? |
6. | dig dug | ||
the patch of skin between the scrotum and the anus; the taint "It's insane, this guy's dig dug."

Abbotsford may end ban on safe-injection sites
Abbotsford drug users - for years officially denied harm-reduction services in the conservative community - may soon have access to services such as addicts in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside have.
Faced with pressure from the health authority and advocacy groups, Abbotsford City Council will on May 28 review a 2005 zoning bylaw amendment prohibiting needle exchanges and safe- injection sites.
Mayor Bruce Banman, elected in 2011 on a pledge to make Abbotsford more progressive, said he's open to potentially scrapping the bylaw.
"From a humanitarian perspective, just because you're an addict doesn't mean you're entitled to less than the rest of us," Banman said.
"My personal view is that I think that needle exchanges have some positive attributes with regards to AIDS and hepatitis.
"Having needle exchanges, you bring addicts in contact with a professional on a regular basis and give them the opportunity, when they are ready, to try detox."
Earlier this month, the Fraser Health Authority sent a proposal to the city to distribute up to 120,000 needles per year to an estimated 500 injection drug users.
Pivot Legal Society was considering a legal challenge to the bylaw earlier this year, arguing it violates an individual's Charter rights and access to medical care.
The reality is that harm- reduction services have been operating illegally in the region for years.
A consortium of community groups, called the Supporting Wellness and Reducing Harm Committee, has been quietly distributing needles in Abbotsford shooting galleries since 2005.
"Is there a need? Absolutely," said Brian Gross, board member and Abbotsford liaison for the B.C./ Yukon Association of Drug War Survivors, a consortium member.
"They go out with thousands of needles at night and they come back with none."
Gross said councillors shouldn't set health policy and he feels the bylaw sends a cruel message: "They would rather see addicts dead than within the city."
The PHS Community Services Society, which manages the Downtown Eastside's InSite safe- injection site and runs a needle-exchange van, made a business permit application last week to bring its van to Abbotsford.
The group's been quietly operating there once a week for six months, handing out up to 500 needles a night.
"What we found distributing at our needle exchanges is that people were coming from as far away as Abbotsford to get clean needles," said Mark Townsend of PHS.
