EVERGREEN — Emotion on the court can be a double-edged sword — the catalyst to defeat a tough opponent or the key to a team's undoing. For the Littleton Lions' boys basketball team on Jan. 4, it was the key to their undoing.
The Lions let their emotions get the better of them in the fourth quarter, giving up their third-period lead in allowing the Evergreen Cougars to score a 68-57 win.

Just got of the phone with Mel and he says yes credit cards will be accepted. Now I do have to apologize because I forgot to ask what kind, so I will safely say that Visa and Mastercard are definitely taken and discover and american express may be taken. If anyone has been to Mel's store recently, please let me know what the front of his store shows in terms of credit card displays.
My safest saying would be to have a visa or mastercard ready.

Very nice, I like the fade. Body rail too.
Fade? The pic isn't the best, I should take some with my warp and revvy on it.
The body rail is the new lighter omega ones, the whole setup is fairly light.
The macro is actually milk in color, and it's parker macroline, the best there is. I also have red, may put that on at some time, but for now clear is nice.
Oh, no fade, I see. In the first pic, the chrome just looks dark and gets lighter toward the valve, I thot it was a black to chrome deal. nm, still sweet looking tho.
chromey, with that much chrome you could get rap stars to play. over all very nice, it sure is purdy

Thanks, but as far as an x-chamber goes, guess I am not into the "hype" of an x-chamber. A gas through grip works great for me. I do remember the days of having a whispering death (IIRC) on my mag with a 18" (again, IIRC) triple loop, steal braid, coil running from the asa to the valve. I just use an HPA system now a days.Originally posted by jah871
you should have gotten the chrome system x x-chamber like TRIAD's its soo comfy! very nice mag by the way Rambo
it doesn't really help i just think it feels a lot better than a regular gas thru, its all preference though. if you like what you have great! hope you enjoy the new mag!
ahh, I see, I think, so it's cause it's like bigger around or something? makign it more comfortable to grip, sounds like. absolutely understand that. for me, though, I really don't use it as a grip, but rather, a sort of rest. I use my left hand and kind of grab up towards the body more at the ASA, kinda looks like I am "pinching" it, if that makes sense.
I'll see if I can get RPK (RP's kid, my daughter) to take some pictures of me using it next time we are out. (she got a digital camera for Christmas, and being the "weak" father that I am, I already gave it to her. )
can't see pics! is it just me?

I don't profess to be a professional photographer but it was a jaunt down memory lane to when I was preparing these dishes and memories of my travels as well. Maybe I am biased by the flavour of some of these dishes and that is why they are my favourite pics!!
1) This first picture is of a tomato pie we prepared at Keartisanal . The photo was taken by R. but it brings back such wonderful memories that it had to be included as one of my favourites.
|2) This photo was taken on a Sunday in the town of Metsovo on mainland Greece. These ladies dressed in traditional costume for Sunday at church are returning from the market with their fresh produce and plants. I was lucky enough to tour the mainland and hike with Thordis our fearless leader and a small group of ladies with Astra Tours .

The Weed Cougar varsity boys advanced to the Northern Section Division 5 Semifinals with a 68-48 victory over the Hamilton Braves Friday night in Weed.
The No. 3 seeded Cougars got off to a sloppy start, but finished strong to take down the sixth seeded Braves and secure a trip to Modoc to play for a trip to the section championship.
The Cougars got off to a quick 4-0 lead with Aidan Hagarty hitting four free-throws, but the Braves quickly responded with two buckets to square things up at 4-4. Edgar Casorla hit a bucket to give the Cougars back the lead, but a three pointer put the Braves on top 7-6. The trading of scores would prove to be a trend for the remainder of the first period with the teams finishing tied up 12-12.
In the second period, the Cougar offense got things flowing with Noah Traylor leading the charge scoring six points leading the Cougars on a 14-7 run that sent the game to half with a score of 26-19.
The third period opened with a Traylor bucket to extend the Cougar lead to nine points. The Braves responded with a three pointer to trim the deficit to six points. Traylor added another score, but the Braves responded with back to back scores to make it a 30-26 game. The Cougars responded with a quick 6-0 run to make it a 10 point game, but the Braves fought back with back-to-back scores to climb to within six points. This proved to be the last time the Braves would be within striking distance as the Cougars closed the period with a 5-0 run to make it a 41-30 game after three periods.
The Cougars kept their run rolling into the fourth period, pouring on a 14-4 run that pushed their advantage to 21 points and put the Braves away for good.
The Braves continued their aggressive play despite the deficit and play got rough in the end resulting in an intentional foul and technical foul against the Braves.
Hagarty poured in 19 points to lead all scorers in the game. Traylor added 19 points while Casorla scored 14 points for the Cougars.
The Cougars will now travel to Modoc to take on the SCL champion Braves for a fifth time this season. The Braves hold the advantage over the Cougars winning three of the previous meetings including a 66-53 victory when the teams last met on Feb. 13.
Tip-off for the semifinal game is set for 7 p.m. on Wednesday night in Modoc.
Cougar boys down Braves on Friday

Two Boonville businesses team
up to help Relay for Life
During the fall months of 2012 Psychobilly Tattoo along with the Boonville Daily News teamed up to raise money for the Cooper County Relay for Life. The team effort included selling bracelets made by staff of Psychobilly Tattoo at the Boonville Daily News and at the tattoo shop. More than $500 was raised to benefit Relay for Life. "It is greatly appreciated. Every dollar is very important for the Cooper County Relay for life. The total dollars go back to the National Cancer Society with a majority of the money going to research, education and support services," Cooper County Relay for Life Director Charlie Melkersman said. He also said many Cooper County families will benefit from the money.

Ok, perhaps you think that Washington D.C. has a rather large concentration of fools/jesters/harlequins and this is merely Stanczyk pandering some professional courtesy to his Professional peers. I can hardly blame you for thinking them like myself. The difference is that they get paid to be fools and Stanczyk is just an amateur. Of course, if you want Stanczyk for the Senate, write me in this fall in PA's senate race. Then Stanczyk too can be a professional fool and surely I can do no worse.
I was lamenting the Library of Congress changing their links again and breaking my web pages. As many of you know, I have a web page on Dziennik Polski (the Detroit daily Polish language newspaper). This jester is rather fond of newspapers for their value in their historical context and for their use in genealogy. So I was reviewing my web page when I noticed the LOC link broke again. Damn! I am fixing that.
I did a little googling to find the new page. Instead I stumbled across the Congessional Record itself. Fortunately, I had written, the 108th Congress, 29-September-2004, and page S9931 in my article on the web. This was enough for me to locate the exact page in the actuall Congressional Record which available online (1998-present). Here is the link:
So your research experiment is to:
- select Archived Tables (pick 2004, click on "Go" button.
- scroll down to number 120 (which equates to 29-September, 2004) click on the link in Senate column: S9867
- this loads a PDF document. Scroll to bottom type in field next to Go to page button, then type S9931 and click
This will have to suffice, until I fix my link. At least you can find my reference and more importantly, it is a valuable resource for research (albeit primarily on the doings of fools in D.C.). Be a good electorate and read…then vote informed with FACTS not the current rhetoric that tries to masquerade as facts when its is just a freak show misrepresentation. The circus is always in town and right now the clowns run amok.

- Boulder grand jury: Diabetic man drugged woman with insulin, then raped her
After more than 12 hours of deliberation, a Boulder County jury still has not reached a verdict in the case of Frederick Allen, a 32-year-old diabetic accused of drugging a University of Colorado student with insulin before raping her in February 2011.
The jurors have adjourned for the day and will return Tuesday morning to continue deliberations. The jurors heard closing arguments from attorneys Friday morning after a two week trial and deliberated for six hours Friday and for another eight hours today.
Allen faces nine felonies, including three counts of sexual assault, first-degree assault, two counts of second-degree assault and tampering with physical evidence, after being indicted by the Boulder County grand jury in January 2012.
According to the indictment, Allen met the victim at the Sundown Saloon on the Pearl Street Mall. The two previously had met, but had never really talked to each other. During the encounter in February 2011, Allen and the woman talked until the bar closed, at which point he offered to walk her to her nearby home.
One of the victim's roommates -- who remembered the victim coming home with a man the previous night -- noticed the victim's door was locked at 1 p.m. the next day and did not see the victim again until 10 p.m. that night when she checked again and found her door unlocked, according to police.
The roommate told investigators the victim's room was a mess and she found the victim naked on the bed, according to the indictment. She appeared to have thrown up and was sweaty and having trouble focusing.
Investigators found a note in the victim's room that prosecutors say was from Allen, which read, "I will wash your sheets for you love, see ya Saturday!!" There also were signs a cleaning agent had been used in the bedroom and bathroom.
The victim was taken to Boulder Community Hospital, where doctors said she had dangerously low blood sugar levels and was suffering from severe hypoglycemia, most likely due to an insulin injection.
Prosecutors said Allen -- a Type 1 diabetic -- not only used insulin, but also had knowledge of its effects from working with his stepfather, who is an endocrinologist.
According to court records, Allen told investigators he had sex with the victim, but that he stopped when she started getting sick. He then offered to clean her bed sheets, but threw them away in a Dumpster instead.
His attorney, Pamela Mackey, said witnesses recalled the two were hitting it off at the bar. She also said the victim's symptoms could have been caused by alcoholic hypoglycemia, which she said can be caused by drinking too much without eating properly.

The Luther College men's tennis team finished out another challenging weekend by hosting nationally ranked UW-Whitewater on Sunday, April 7. Luther hung in at several spots with Ramesh Karki winning at No. 1 singles over a ranked foe for the second straight day. That was the only point for the Norse as the Warhawks walked away with an 8-1 victory.
Karki and Quinn Foley fought back from a 6-3 deficit by earning a pair of late breaks to force a tie-breaker at No. 1 doubles. The Norse duo raced out to a 6-0 lead in the tie-breaker, but was unable to convert on several match points as UW-Whitewater's tandem of Andy McGlashen and Andrew Bayliss rallied to win (9-8 (11-9)). Nick Mozena and James Ayer went down an early break to Byron Balkin and Jake Humphreys at No. 2 and the teams stayed even the rest of the way with UW-Whitewater winning (8-5). The score was identical at No. 3, but Matt Bellio and Sean Brown forged a huge rally after trailing 7-1, winning four straight games before falling (8-5) to Mitch Osborne and Kevin Friend.
Karki put together another strong performance on the singles court, defeating Balkin (6-2, 6-4) at No. 1 singles. Ayer and Foley each won six games with Ayer losing (6-3, 6-3) to Bayliss at No. 4 and Foley dropping a (6-2, 6-4) decision to Brian Klein at No. 6.
Luther is now 6-9 overall this season.

President & CEO, Better Business Bureau
When it comes to buying presents, all of us have one thing in common: It is difficult to buy presents for some people. No matter if it's a holiday, birthday or special occasion, purchasing a meaningful gift can prove to be a real conundrum. For this reason gift cards take the guess work out of gift giving. Not only that, they provide a huge convenience factor to the time-crunched, stressed-filled life most of us lead.
This holiday season the National Retail Federation estimates that 81% of shoppers will purchase at least one gift card. However, according to Consumer Reports, 25% of people failed to use the card within a year after receiving it. While gift cards are easy on the giver, they can prove challenging to the receiver. Why? We lose them, misplace them, or simply forget about them. In addition, sometimes the gift cards end up being a hassle to use.
Some gift cards have hidden fees and strings attached. Before buying and giving a gift card to that "hard to shop for" friend or family member, the Better Business Bureau (BBB) advises consumers to read the fine print and know the terms. You should also know that there have been recent changes in federal laws to improve a consumer's chance of getting full value out of the cards they buy and give. These rules generally apply to gift certificates, store gift cards and general use prepaid cards, which are often branded by payment networks such as Visa or MasterCard.
Here are some helpful tips from the BBB regarding gift card purchases:
Buy from sources you know and trust. Avoid buying gift cards from online auction sites because the cards may be counterfeit or may have been obtained fraudulently.
Read the fine print before you buy. Is there a fee to buy the card? If you buy a card by phone or online, are there shipping and handling fees? Is there an expiration or "use by" date? If you don't like the terms and conditions, buy elsewhere.
See whether any fees will be deducted from the card after you purchase it.
Some cards will deduct a fee from the card, rendering the card less than its face value.
Inspect the card before you buy it. Verify that none of the protective stickers have been removed. Make sure that the codes on the back of the card haven't been scratched off to reveal a PIN number. Report any damaged cards to the store selling the cards.
Give the recipient your original receipt so they can verify the card's purchase in case it is lost, stolen or has been compromised.
Consider the financial condition and time in business of the retailer or restaurant. If they are struggling or brand new, a gift card to a company that may be going out of business or has no track record can be a risky gift.
Know your rights. Check the Federal Trade Commission's web site for the rules regarding gift cards.
Edward Johnson is president & CEO of the Better Business Bureau serving the greater eastern and northeastern Pennsylvania region.

For the second time in as many games Luther posted a overtime victory. Tonight, trailing by as many as 15 points, Luther battled back to defeat Central 72-66 in the Regents Center.
The victory also gives the Norse sole possession of first place, as Dubuque defeated Buena Vista 73-58. Buena Vista and Wartburg are now tied for second place at 8-3, while Luther sits atop the standings at 9-2. All three teams have already qualified for the six-team IIAC Tournament.
The Norse lit it up in the second half after shooting just 23 percent in the first 20 minutes of play. In the second half, the Norse were 15-of-26, that included a 7-of-9 performance from three-point land. Luther also won the battle of the boards 42-38.
Four Norse tallied double digits led by Tyler Wedemeier who recorded his eighth double-double of the season. Wedemeier scored 22 points and collected a career and game high 19 rebounds.

Lil' Kim will soon have a lil' person.
The 39-year-old rapper surprised onlookers Wednesday in New York City by appearing with a large baby bump during a New York fashion week event, according to the New York Daily News.
Wearing a skintight floor-length dress, Lil' Kim performed at The Blonds Fashion Week after-party, where she announced the big news.
"I'm a mom, but I can turn it up a little!" she said, touching her belly.
She later told Us Weekly, "I'm so excited! I'm a few months along, I can't wait to be a mom! I'm still going to work. I'm still going to be hard-core. The baby has made me even more of a beast."
Yeah, she'll be a beast ... at 3 a.m. when a screaming baby wakes her up for a diaper change.
Before her performance, she paid homage to late rapper Notorious B.I.G.
"It's also going to be Biggie's birthday and the anniversary of his death soon, so we (pointing to her belly) love you," she said to the crowd.
The rapper hasn't indicated who the father is.

Box Score
DURHAM, N.C.—For the second consecutive game, sophomore midfielder Zach Mathers scored a crucial second-half goal as he helped the Blue Devils to a 2-0 victory over Northeastern in the 2013 John Rennie Nike Classic. Duke, finishing 1-0-1 on the weekend, captured the tournament's crown with Mathers collecting MVP honors.
"We learned a lot about ourselves this weekend," said head coach John Kerr. "We gained a lot of confidence in our play against Rutgers on Friday night. Today's game was disjointed due to the heat, due to the tactics of the other team. They're a tough team, a very good team. At the end of the day we came out with the right result."
Mathers broke open a scoreless tie in the 72nd minute when freshmen Jimmy Doll served a ball across the top of the penalty area. Rookie Seo-In Kim smartly dummied the ball to a wide-open Mathers who put it back Northeastern goalie Dylan Faber for what proved to be the game winner. The goal was the second of the weekend for Mathers, while both Kim and Doll register their first collegiate points.
"Today to open up the scoring, that first goal is crucial," Kerr said. "It came at a good time for us to get back on a roll. He just pops up in the right spots and he has the ability to finish. Once we scored that goal, we weren't going to lose it."
Joining Mathers on the all-tournament squad were redshirt senior Alex Long, seniors Sebastien Ibeagha and Rob Dolot, junior Sean Davis.
Duke (1-0-1) started out a little slow against Northeastern (0-1-1) as the Huskies nearly took a 1-0 lead just 1:42 into the game before an offside call disallowed the score. The Blue Devils started to gain momentum midway through the half and generated various scoring chances.
The best opportunity came off the foot of rookie forward Brody Huitema in the 22nd minute. The Vancouver native had a fabulous go at goal from 20 yards out that Faber had to tip just over the crossbar. Overall, Duke outshot Northeastern 5-3 in the first half.
The Blue Devils continued to chip away at the Husky backline in the early minutes of the second period. Both Jared Golestani and Mathers had shots stopped by Faber, while a Kim attempt sailed wide of the net in the 67th minute.
Similar to Friday night against Rutgers, the Blue Devils pressed on and capitalized five minutes later with Mathers finishing Kim's cross.
"I saw the ball come across and told [Jimmy Doll] to leave it and once again it fell really nicely for me and I got over it and slid it in the corner," Mathers said.
Less than two minutes later, Huitema nearly got in on the scoring action as he was brought down in the penalty area with only the goalkeeper to beat. Davis stepped up and buried the penalty kick to give Duke the 2-0 lead.
Huitema continued to stay active up top for the Blue Devils in search of that first tally. He registered six shots overall with four coming on frame as Northeastern struggled to contain the 6-1 striker.
"We struggled on offense last year," Mathers said. "We have Brody up there holding the ball, Seo-In out wide, and Palodichuk [back healthy] is a big addition to our team. This year has been a lot better offensively, but we're still going to have a great defensive year and an even better offensive year."
Duke stayed strong in the back in the final 17 minutes as Long earned his first shutout as a Blue Devil. Duke held Northeastern to just five shots for the game and only two on goal. The Blue Devils finished with 16 shots, with Faber making six stops.
The Blue Devils open ACC play Sept. 6 at rival Maryland at 7 p.m.

But there it was at PAX Prime 2010, where I got to play it along with thousands of show attendees moments after it was officially revealed to be back in development. That was just a small sample, though, to show that it was indeed a real project again. At a recent event in Las Vegas, I had the opportunity to play much more.
Gearbox co-founder Randy Pitchford told the group assembled to play Duke Nukem Forever that we'd get an honest look at the game; we'd be the first people outside of those who'd worked on it to really sit down and play it uninterrupted. It was eye-opening.
I'm not sure exactly what I expected, but to some degree I thought Gearbox intended to modernize the game. That is not the case. This is the game from all those years of development, lovingly completed by a team that includes many who've worked on it in the past. It puts Pitchford's words in new light. Now I see the emotional connection and almost a sense of duty to carry the oft-delayed title to the finish line.
The setup for the game is a new classic for the old-school action shooter. After saving the world, Duke became the most beloved, wealthy, and powerful figure on the planet. And so the game begins with him relaxing in the penthouse of his Vegas casino finally playing the video game adaptation of his heroic deeds, which has taken over a decade to create. He even quips that after so long it damn well better be good.
His gaming time gets interrupted when the aliens return. But this time the President tells him to stand down; they come in peace. Yeah, right. The aliens plan to dupe the earth's defenses, kidnap its women, and use them to breed a massive invasion army. Of course, Duke can't let that slide and he swings into action.
That's where I started playing, right at the beginning, with Duke's casino tower under assault by the aliens. Taken by surprise, I had to make due with just fists at first. Not that the game holds aspirations as a brawler but it offered a good reminder that the Duke likes to throw a good punch from time to time. I also got an early chance to buff up a little and increase my "Ego" meter. Used instead of health, ego represents Duke's state of kick-ass. As the game explains, think of it like a shield, and when it goes down, he gets his ass kicked. Actions throughout the game will offer opportunities to pump him up a little more. In the first I found, pumping iron in the gym granted me a small ego boost.
BOOM video 7747
Once I acquired a weapon--an alien blaster--the game came into its own. This is the shooter design of a bygone era. Enemies don't juke around or look for cover; they attack with singular purpose, fast and direct. Many take the straight up rush assault. Others pop in and out using teleporters, but never to get away, only to reposition for a better spot to keep attacking. The results are gunfights that become a blur of movement. I'd run around slot machines and poker tables in the casino, constantly turning, strafing to get a shot, and then circling around to keep from getting cornered in one position.
In the first hour-plus of the game I played, Duke Nukem Forever also proved true to its reputation for interactivity. There are little things, like a playable pinball machine and then there are more involved diversions, such as a remote control truck I had to "drive" to retrieve an item I needed to advance deeper into the game. Later, I was shrunk down and wound up driving an RC truck through the casino as pig cops tried to smash me. (Sadly I didn't get to play with the shrink ray but this bodes well for its inclusion.)
The more I played Duke, the more it felt like I'd been transported back in time a decade. It was almost as if I was reliving a game I'd played years ago with aliens rushing at me from every direction, spawning in or jumping through a wall and coming at me hard, taking a break to hop in a laser turret and blast a giant mothership out of the sky, and hopping across a craps table as mini-Duke. But I wonder how long the warm glow of that nostalgia will shield the reality that it is a game of that era. There's no hiding its age. It's right there in the jaggy-edges, the noticeably muddy visuals compared to the latest games of this generation, and direct and in-your-face enemies. For some that's sure to be a trip down memory lane but for others I suspect it will leave them wondering what the fuss was ever all about.
This feature is based on a preview build of Duke Nukem Forever on the Xbox 360, played at an event held by Take Two Interactive in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Adele's 1-year-old son, Angelo Adkins, won five figures in a privacy case against a photo agency that published photos of the lad's "milestone moments," according to multiple reports.
That's pretty good. Only a year old and the kid can already retire.
The 26-year-old British singer and partner Simon Konecki sued Corbis Images U.K. Limited after it made available to British tabloids photos of their baby, who was born in October 2012.
Lawyers for the "Rolling in the Deep" singer said Wednesday in London's High Court that Adele doesn't want her son to become "public property."
"It is a matter of profound sadness that many of his milestone moments, such as his first family outing and his first trip to playgroup, were photographed and published worldwide expressly against his family's wishes," said Adele's solicitor, Jenny Afia, according to BBC News. "These images were taken during private, recreational time unconnected with professional or public engagements. They represent a clear infringement of our client's right to privacy."
Right. Get off that kid's lawn.
The photos were taken in June and November 2013. Corbis Images U.K. Limited has agreed to pay damages and legal costs to Angelo and won't use the pictures again.
"The parents' view is that these images were of routine, everyday family occasions, which the paparazzi has no right to intrude upon, profit from and file away in picture libraries for future reference and use," Afia said.
Right. Besides, publishing thousands of routine pictures of kids doing unremarkable things is what Facebook is for.
Afia said Angelo's parents will be "holding the damages on trust."
"Adele and Simon are pleased this matter has been resolved," Afia said. "They continue to do all they can to protect Angelo's rights in relation to the paparazzi, including taking legal action where necessary ... They will also continue efforts to improve the laws relating to paparazzi and children generally, building on the successful campaign Adele helped fund in California resulting in far stricter harassment laws."
She later said, "The children of famous parents are not celebrities. The law can, will and should protect them."

Rosie O'Donnell will return to "The View," according to TMZ.
Sources connected with the negotiations told the website the deal is done and an announcement will come "shortly."
Didn't they already try this once?
TMZ said the negotiations heated up over the weekend and the deal was completed by the end of business Monday.
O'Donnell will join Whoopi Goldberg, who is the only survivor from the previous panel, after Barbara Walters retired and ABC canned Sherri Shepherd and Jenny McCarthy last month.
TMZ reports ABC is looking for a Latina and a conservative to fill the last two chairs. Two conservatives supposedly being considered are Abby Huntsman and Margaret Hoover.
They should hire Britney Spears. I'd stop working every day to watch that.
O'Donnell was on the show for one season, back in 2007. Perhaps ABC is hoping America forgot.
ABC declined E! News' request for comment regarding O'Donnell, saying, "'The View' will be moving in an exciting new direction next season and ABC has made decisions to evolve the show creatively, but at this time, we have no announcement to make and we are weeks away from making any type of announcement about anything pertaining to the show."
Exciting is Britney Spears' middle name.
E! points out that ABC will meet with hundreds of reporters next Tuesday at the Television Critics Association Press Tour in Beverly Hills, which may be when we get an announcement.
O'Donnell bailed on the show a month before her contract expired in 2007, after having a heated argument with fellow co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck, who later left the show and is now ensconced with her people over at "Fox & Friends."
"I didn't want to argue for a living," O'Donnell later said on "The Oprah Winfrey Show." "I didn't come back because the director and the producer did a split screen, and they had to prepare that in advance. I felt there was a setup egging me into that position."
Right. Who would expect television producers to set up and/or expect conflict on a talk show?
There have been rumors flying recently that Sarah Palin may join the panel. According to E!, the former governor of Alaska said, "It'd be so much fun to shake it up taking on issues that make audiences objectively consider all sides."
It's not often one sees the word "objectively" in the same paragraph as "Sarah Palin."

Study Looks into the Obstacles Gay Men Face in Getting Help with HIV/AIDS
For a third of MSM (men who have sex with men) worldwide, accessing condoms, lubricant, HIV tests and HIV treatment is easily accessible. For the rest, well, it's not so easy.
And a new study suggests the reasons for that percentage include homophobia, cultural competency and comfort with service providers, among other items.
This is but one of the findings of a global survey conducted over last summer by the Global Forum on MSM & HIV (MSMGF). Stretching across 165 countries, the multi-lingual survey asked 5,779 gay men and other men who have sex with men about their access to treatment and preventative measures, as well as hygienic items. On top of the online survey, MSMGF shook hands with African Men for Sexual Health and Rights, which allowed for focused discussions groups to take place among 71 MSM across five cities in South Africa, Kenya and Nigeria.
The results were less than encouraging for MSMGF, which is a network of AIDS organizations, MSM networks and advocates that corroborate on ways to provide (and continue providing) effective HIV resources tailored to the needs of gay and other MSM.
"Such poor levels of access at the global level are unacceptable," said George Ayala, executive director of the MSMGF. "Even in upper to middle-income countries, MSM still have extremely low access to services."
Of men who participated in the online survey, only 35 percent reported that condoms were easily accessible, 21 percent reported easy access to lubricant, 36 percent reported easy access to HIV testing, and 42 percent reported easy access to HIV treatment.
Reduced access to services was most commonly reported in lower-income countries.
The study found that, among participants living with HIV, higher access to HIV treatment was associated with less homophobia and greater comfort with service providers.
Greater access to lubricants and greater access to HIV testing were also associated with less outness (what the researchers defined as the degree to which others know of one's sexual orientation) and less negative consequences for being out, respectively.
"As we collectively forge ahead into the new territory of treatment-based prevention, it is clear that many of the old challenges remain," said Noah Metheny, director of policy at the MSMGF. "Addressing structural barriers remains essential to realizing the potential of HIV interventions for MSM."
The take-away from the months-long research is that there's yet a way to go.
"The study's findings underscore the urgent need to improve access to essential HIV services for gay men and other MSM worldwide," said Ayala. "Successfully addressing HIV among MSM will require a real effort to address structural barriers, and the findings from this study suggest that investing in MSM-led community-based organizations may be the best way to do that."

DURHAM, N.C. – Just a day after an impressive 4-3 victory over No. 27 Virginia, the seventh-ranked Duke women's tennis team returned to Ambler Tennis Stadium and overwhelmed 60th-ranked Virginia Tech, 4-1, Saturday. The Blue Devils improve to 4-0 in Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) play this season for the fourth consecutive year and the 12th time under head coach Jamie Ashworth.
"I thought we had to get off to a good start today, especially after the emotional win yesterday," Ashworth said. "We wanted to make sure that we didn't have a letdown, so it was important for us to get off to good starts in both doubles and all six singles matches and show that we were going to play with emotion. I thought we did a really good job of that."
The Blue Devils responded to losing the doubles point against Virginia Friday by coming out of the gates as the aggressor taking leads on all three courts. On court two, the duo of junior Hanna Mar and senior Mary Clayton took just 32 minutes to dispatch of Raluca Mita and Carol Kahoun, 8-1, while the 57th-ranked tandem of sophomores Ester Goldfeld and Annie Mulholland used some outstanding play at the net to down Ilinca Stoica and Kelly Williford, 8-3, on court one. In the match, Goldfeld and Mulholland traded games early to find themselves level at 2-2 with the Hokies, but broke serve three consecutive times to top the Virginia Tech duo, clinching the doubles point for Duke.
The tandem of junior Marianne Jodoin and senior Nicole Lipp were trailing Isel Martinez-Marcos and Emily Lauten, 3-5, in the third position when the point was clinched.
In singles action, the Blue Devils jumped out to early leads on five of the six courts, including 6-0 victories on courts one, two, four and five. Goldfeld, a native of Brooklyn, N.Y., hit a number of outstanding forehand winners against Martinez-Marcos on court two, easily winning the match, 6-0, 6-1. Goldfeld now improves to 11-4 in dual matches this season, including a 4-2 mark when playing the second position.
On court four, Mulholland dropped Williford, 6-0, 6-2, to improve to 8-3 in dual matches this season. The Portland, Ore., native celebrated her birthday by winning 10 consecutive games to open the match en route to an easy victory.
"I have been working this week on putting a little more height on my shots, pushing the player back," Mulholland said. "It's what I do well, especially on my forehand. I also worked on moving forward and coming in, and not second guessing myself because when I go for my shots and believe in it, it just comes together."
Lipp dropped the first set 6-2 to Ivanovic while playing on court six, but regained momentum when she leveled the match at 2-2 in the second set with a number of well-place forehands. Despite the change in momentum, Lipp was unable to slow Ivanoic, falling, 6-2, 6-2.
Jodoin, listed at No. 94 in the most recent poll, cruised through the first set, 6-0, and continued her solid play in the second, downing Kahoun, 6-0, 6-4, on court five to clinch the match for Duke. The Varennes, Quebec native has now won 20 consecutive singles matches and is a perfect 14-0 in dual matches this season, while clinching the match a team-high five times.
"It's about doing the little things," Ashworth said. "That's what we continue to talk about. Good decision making, good first serves, good returns, really the start of points. We cannot give people free points and free opportunities, and I thought we did that today."
Just a day after battling back from a 1-5 deficit in a match-deciding third-set tiebreaker against Stephanie Nauta of Virginia, Mar opened the match by winning six consecutive games, immediately eliminating any hope Stoica may have had of the upset. Mar held 6-0, 3-4, advantage when the match was decided. Clayton, tabbed at No. 99 in the latest ITA polls, dropped the first set 7-5 to Mita in the third position, but held a 3-1 advantage in the second set when the match was clinched.
The Blue Devils return to the court April 6-7 as they play host to Georgia Tech and Clemson at Ambler Tennis Stadium. The squad is slated to face Georgia Tech, Saturday, April 6 at 1 p.m. before returning to the courts Sunday, April 7 to take on the Tigers at 3 p.m.

Flu season usually doesn't kick into high gear until late January. But if November and December are any indication, we're in for a long, sick winter.
According to the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, incidences of influenza and influenza-like illness are much higher than usual for this time of year -- and they continue to increase.
"From what I understand, it's been a high rate," said Frank Singleton, director of the Lowell Health Department. "It looks like one of the worst seasons in a few years."
The national Centers for Disease Control compiles FluView, a weekly flu-surveillance report, with information from 145 laboratories and 2,700 outpatient health-care providers across the country. For the week of Dec. 21 to Dec. 28, the percentage of Massachusetts hospital visits reported as flu or flu-like (defined as a fever of 100 degrees with either cough or sore throat) was 2.
"The volume is definitely greater overall, and earlier, than last year," said Dr. David Sidebottom, an infectious-disease specialist at Lowell General Hospital.
The CDC designated Massachusetts as one of 31 states where flu is widespread, which means that outbreaks of flu were reported in at least half the regions in the state. Massachusetts' flu-like activity (the percentage of visits that are termed flu-like as compared to the average percentage in the spring and fall) was listed as moderate.
Fitchburg, however, has seen very little flu activity so far this year. Stephen Curry, director of the Fitchburg Health Department, noted some cases in Weston and Gardner, but said flu season so far has been similar to last year's lighter one.
"There's no explanation for it," Curry said. "But it'll come through here eventually."
Flu-vaccine roulette
Dr. Joseph Bergen, chairman of emergency medicine at Emerson Hospital in Concord, said Emerson's overall volume of emergency-room visits was 8 percent higher this past December than the last. He said the malaise is even spreading to the staff, despite a hospital requirement that all staff members either get the flu vaccine or wear a mask.
Bergen said "a lot of people working here have stayed home" because of flu-like illness.
"CDC says the current vaccine is well matched, but it is surprising that many people who have gotten the vaccine are still getting ill," he said.
The CDC develops the vaccine each year by anticipating potential flu strains through early testing. The majority of confirmed cases of flu have turned out to be one of the three strains (H1N1, H2N3 and Influenza B) present in the vaccine, which doesn't always happen.
"The virus changes continuously, so you have to do a guessing game," Lowell's Singleton said. "The problem is that it's like a moving target you have to try to hit every year."
But the vaccine isn't flu-proof. People may still get infected before the two-week period it takes for the body to gain protection. The vaccine doesn't prevent the common cold (flu yields more severe symptoms, including a fever), and it doesn't protect against the possible mutations the virus may undergo over the course of the winter.
"Clearly, when flu is based from birds or other animals that are out there that genetically mix and match with human ones, we have trouble," said Richard Day, director of the Chelmsford Health Department. "We don't deal well with viruses from other sources."
Rest, fluids will shoo flu
The treatment for flu mostly entails rest, which Emerson's Bergen said most can do at home.
Bob Audet, owner of Pawtucket Pharmacy in Lowell, said he has seen more people than usual come in with flu symptoms, but that their symptoms don't seem to last too long.
"Someone with influenza basically needs plenty of fluids, maybe some aspirin or Tylenol for the pain," Audet said. "Bottom line: You feel awful, but most people can fend it off."
Some people can't, though. The state Department of Public Health estimates that up to 800 people die each year in Massachusetts from flu-related complications. People with pre-existing conditions, such as diabetes, heart disease, lung disease and cancer, are particularly at risk for complications, as are people either extremely young or extremely old.
"If your immune system isn't doing very well, whether you have HIV, are using a steroid or are undergoing chemotherapy, you can get much sicker," Singleton said. "Usually, the people affected are either very young or very old, because their immune systems are not great."
LGH's Sidebottom said it's tough to pigeonhole flu patients into one group, since many that might get infected may fight through it without reporting it.
"The problem you have is that you're probably getting more older folks and people with medical problems because kids may not even report it," he said. "Same with young adults who feel they have to get to work."

I really knew Delphi and C++ builder were dead (niche tools) when Anders Hejlsberg
left Borland for Microsoft. For those that don't know, he was the key guy
on Turbo Pascal and Delphi. After he arrived at Microsoft, he did some work
on Java. Then came the lawsuit with Sun and he sort of dissapeared. When
I first heard the rumors of COOL, I knew he had something to do with it.
Sure enough here comes .NET and it has his fingerprints all over it. VB
gets a full rework to fit in. VB.NET has objects that really work like objects;
VB.NET is a first-class citizen that can do everything any other .NET language
can do without annoying hacks; VB.NET even does threads; And, unfortunatly,
Microsoft had to change things quite a bit to make it all work properly.
VB.NET is more of a professional programming tool than VB ever was. It is
harder to get started but it will be easier to get substantial things done.
I'm not trying to say VB cannot be used for large systems. I've used it
for large systems. I am saying that it lacks many of the language features,
mostly OO, that make big systems easier to put together and maintain. When
you add in the elegance of the CLR and the much-improved web programming
model, I think you would be somewhat silly to pine for VB6. I agree with
McKinney when he says VB is dead and VB.NET is nothing more than C# with
VB-like syntax. However, I say that if you like VB you should go ahead and
use VB.NET.
Old code is important. Don't worry, the porting tools will get better.
After all, this is only beta 1.
The bigger question, I think, is whether or not .NET will live up to the
promise of cross-platform portability. If someone, maybe even Microsoft,
ports .NET to Linux, I think Java will be just another .NET language. If
not, I think .NET might be a flop.
I will wait and see. I will use VB.NET. I will use C#. I doubt I will
miss VB very much.

Last week, I sat down for coffee with a recent college graduate. The young man, whom I'll call "K," worked his way through ROTC, took a commission as a second lieutenant in the Army, and now serves in an Army engineer company.
K is the son of immigrants, a first-generation American. He's a student of American history, especially the founding era. And he understands as well as anyone I know the principles that animate the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. What's more, he believes in those principles to the core of his being.

INDIANAPOLIS - The 2013 NCAA Women's Swimming and Diving Championships came to a close today in Indiana University's Natatorium. Columbia swimmers Katie Meili and Alena Kluge swam their final events of the season in day three of competition. The pair had a big day as they both set individual program records and gave Columbia its best national team ranking since the 1998 season at No. 21 in the country.
Kluge began the day in the prelims racing in the 200 backstroke. The junior posted a solid morning swim as she hit the wall in a school record time of 1:58.29 for 48th place. Kluge broke her own record of 1:58.99 set in this season's Ivy League Championships earlier this month.
The 400 IM Ivy League champion has raised the bar in her third season at Columbia. Kluge had a solid showing in the 400 IM as the Ivy League's sole representation in the event at NCAA's. The All-Ivy League honoree finished with a time of 4:18.84 for 43rd place. The Toronto, Canada native also competed in the 200 IM on the first day of action and claimed 47th place overall with the third best time of her career at 2:00.07.
Meili capped a phenomenal NCAA Championships run with a record performance in the 200 breaststroke. She clocked in with a program record time of 2:08.93 in the morning prelim heat for ninth-place overall. She went on to win the consolation finals with a new school and Ivy League record time of 2:08.00 to maintain ninth-place and earn All-American honorable mention in the event.
On opening day at NCAA's, the Colleyville, Texas native earned her first of two first team All-America honors this season with a seventh-place finish in the 200 IM. A school and Ivy League record time of 1:54.72 set a high mark for a fantastic three day meet.
She returned in day two of action to grab first team All-America honors in the 100 breast for a second straight season. With a third place finish time of 59.14, Meili claimed the second highest NCAA finish in school history since Cristina Teuescher's championship finishes in the 1998 and 2000 seasons.
For the second consecutive season, Meili has displayed great showings on the biggest collegiate stage. In the 2012 NCAA Women's Swimming and Diving Championships, Meili highlighted her junior season with the programs first All-America honor since Cristina Teushcer in 2000. On the first day of competition, she captured All-America honorable mention with a tenth-place overall finish in the 200 IM with a time of 1:56.73
Meili's second day garnered another impressive performance in the100 breast as she hit the wall at 59.44 for a fifth place finish. With a top-five finish, she captured All-America honors for the first time in the event and Columbia capped the 2011-12 season with a national top 25 team finish.
The three-time first team All-American holds three Ivy Leauge records, five individual program records and is a member of all four school record relay squads. The multi-dimensional swimmer set five Columbia records this season, including an Ivy League record time of 58.44 in the 100 breast, which was her first of three conference records on the year. Meili has put together an outstanding career at Columbia and stands as one of the Ivy League's all-time greatest swimmers, earning back-to-back Swimmer of the Meet awards at the 2012 and 2013 Ivy League Championships.
With 37 total points, the Columbia swimming and diving team finished 21st at the NCAA Championships, the highest finish in program history since a No. 20 finish in the 1998 championships. A stellar year for the Lions saw Columbia capture third place in the Ivy League Championships with the highest point total in school history at 1132. The Lions posted a 6-2 dual meet regular season record and finished the year setting a combined 24 pool records at Princeton, Rutgers, Cornell, Brown, Dartmouth and at Columbia's Uris Pool.

I went to the eye doctor yesterday, as the lenses in my glasses are so scratched they are becoming a problem. I also had a worrisome medical question about my vision that I thought I'd put to him as a precursor to asking my M.D. about it, and he was able to provide an answer. I've had a couple of incidents where I suffered brief periods of impaired vision, sort of like you'd get from looking at a bright light and then looking away. This was worrisome, to say the least, but his diagnosis was about as benign as I could have hoped, as he explained I've been suffering what are known as Ocular Migraines. These are apparently actual migraines, but the good news, and the reason I consider this somewhat benign, is because these are not accompanied by any pain, and they have been brief in duration as well as infrequent, so this is not really a problem that needs much solving. This is in contrast to the kind of scenarios that ran through my mind when encountering this, as I suffered some Woody Allen-style concerns about things like blindness and brain tumors, so this is obviously a relief.

ROCKFORD - Winnebago County Board members are backing away from the purchase of a parking lot to lease the space instead.
Board members voted 12-8 Thursday to approve a 15-year lease of 68 spaces with Church and Chestnut Development, a group managed by former Winnebago County Sheriff Don Gasparini, attorney Paul S. Nicolosi and Scandroli Construction owner Carl Scandroli.
Doing so effectively terminates the $950,000 plan to buy the property at Church and Chestnut streets that the board signed off on in October.
The new deal allows the county to lease 68 spaces for $4,200 a month for the first five years. After that, the fee will increase annually by 3 percent. Lot owners will also receive $2,500 a month from the county's sublease to BMO Harris Bank Center. Again, that is subject to 3 percent increases after five years.
The agreement allows the county to recoup its $200,000 deposit if another entity buys the land or when the lease ends. It also gives the county the right of first refusal before the lot is sold to someone else.
Board Chairman Scott Christiansen said the lease gives the county the immediate parking it needs while providing flexibility to work toward a long-term downtown parking solution.
Parking has been in short supply for county employees and jurors ever since the city shut down nearly 400 spots in June 2012, when it discovered structural problems in the concourse deck adjoined to the BMO center.
Christiansen plans to work with Rockford, Rockford Park District and federal government employees who use the courthouse, private businesses and BMO to establish a joint parking solution. That could include a parking deck between Chestnut and Green streets.
"It makes sense for all of us to sit at the table and do a public-private partnership," he said. "We have an opportunity to really solve the downtown parking issue."
Republican Majority Leader John F. Sweeney said the lease is a better deal because it allows the county to step away from the expensive purchase, keep the property on the tax rolls and recover the deposit it put down in the previous contract.
"Plus, we gain the parking that was needed in the first place," he said. "And with the first-right-of-refusal option negotiated into our lease agreement, we are able to maintain a degree of flexibility and control over the property for a good amount of time."
Sweeney said board members didn't realize that the initial purchase price was based on an appraisal that looked at what the property was worth as an investment. The fair-market value of the property as a restaurant, which was its previous use, was $175,000, according to the Rockford Township assessor.
The county originally agreed to pay $950,000, which included $200,000 to compensate owners for tearing down the Hawk's Nest and building a parking lot in its place. Board members later criticized the deal, saying it the county appeared to be paying the owners to make their property more valuable.
"The purchase of this property was not a good deal, and I believe most of the County Board members came to that conclusion," said Kay Mullins, R-6, who voted against the lease. "I don't believe this lease agreement is any better, it may be worse.
"I haven't had time to thoroughly analyze it because it's another one of those deals we're rushing through."

Idaho farm leaders are concerned about a law regarding fugitive dust that has been on the books since 1972 but they previously didn't know about.
With the help of a state lawmaker who recently learned about the rule, they are setting their sights on a statute in Idaho code that gives environmental regulators the authority to issue fines for creating fugitive dust.
A top Idaho Department of Environmental Quality official said the department has not and will not use the rule to target regular farming practices.
In the past three years, IDEQ regulators have issued six fines to manufacturing or processing-related activities, including grain handling, for creating fugitive dust. The fines were based on an Idaho law passed in 1972 that very few people were aware of, said Rep. Gayle Batt, R-Wilder.
Idaho farm groups recently became aware of the law after a farmer who was fined for creating dust on his property turned to Batt for help. She said that farmer was fined for dust created while he was grinding grain.
Batt, a former farmer who is leading an effort to change the rule, said the possibility that farmers or ranchers could be fined for creating dust is ridiculous.
Batt said DEQ officials have been helpful in providing information about the issue but she wants the changes to be at the state and not just departmental level.
"This is serious if they are going to start enforcing this rule," she said. "I want any change to be to state statute."
Tiffany Floyd, the administrator of DEQ's air quality division, said the rule targets particulate matter and is not specific to farming. She said the agency has no intention of using it to fine farmers engaging in normal farming practices such as planting and harvesting.
"We see farming practices as reasonable sorts of activities," she said. "The DEQ … does not intend to enforce on those types of things."
The rule provides for fines up to $10,000. Of the six fines collected by DEQ in the past three years, one was for $4,300, one for $1,440 and another for $1,200. Three are being negotiated.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced last year that it would not tighten standards for dust at farms and other businesses.
"One of the concerns I have is DEQ is regulating agricultural dust when EPA came out in December 2012 saying they were not going to tighten farm dust standards," Batt said.
The 1972 rule states that the purpose is "to require that all reasonable precautions be taken to prevent the generation of fugitive dust."
"That's awful broad and it's left up to whoever's in charge to consider what is reasonable or not," Batt said.
Idaho's Right to Farm Act protects farmers and ranchers who conduct generally accepted farming practices, but only as long as they don't break the law.
Because of the 1972 rule, technically they could be breaking the law by creating dust, Batt said.
