Anniversaries and a Cure
March 5, 2013
Today was my eighth anniversary with HIV. I was diagnosed in a small town doctor's office, all alone and terrified, eight years ago today.
It was the first time that I don't remember crying when the day started or when it ended. It's been a long eight years -- filled with life changes that I never could have foreseen at 21. I've had to learn how to fight for myself and my rights, to stand up nationally and internationally, to proclaim who I am proudly and demand the equality that is all of our birthrights.
When this journey started for me in 2005, I was lost, scared, and filled with the unerring conviction that I would be dead within three years. I never imagined that I'd see 2008, let alone 2013. I was so misinformed about what it meant to be HIV+ in the new millennium -- it remains a sad statement on the effectiveness of our outreach to young people that so many of us are uneducated about the virus. I didn't know anything about the medicines available, nor did I understand how being poz would change my life's course.
But it seems that time and life are the great equalizers and I find myself on the cusp of 30, and nearing a whole decade of living with this virus, and I'm feeling remarkably okay with it. I'm still nowhere near where I want to be in my life -- everyday is still a struggle to deal with the overwhelming magnitude of the issues that plague my mind.
As a transwoman, there are so many situations that make me anxious, and sometimes knowing that I will have to deal with the reality of my serostatus is crushing. People are downright cruel when they think you're less than they are -- and as a positive woman that is what society tells us we are. And as a transwoman, the message is compounded even further to make us confused about having any self-worth at all.
When I woke up that morning eight years ago, I didn't have any self-worth. I believed the lie that I had been fed everyday with my cereal and mindless television ads that said I was had no inherent value. I didn't think that I was worth using a condom because if he said he loved me, then wasn't that proof enough of his intentions? Weren't his sincerely spoken, soft words in the middle of the night argument enough to let my guard down?
And they were, then. But they're not anymore.
I went to bed last night knowing the only cure we have is expensive, painful, and extremely experimental. And I know that it's not something that I will ever realistically have access to for many years, if ever. But as I woke up to start my most hated day of the year, my Facebook feed was filled with hope of a cure.
The story of the young girl from Mississippi, that hotbed of Southern values both good and bad, whose fate may change the fate of the world, was finally being told. The first thing I felt was an overwhelming joy that there are so many young people who may now be spared the lifelong commitment to medicines; that their mothers and fathers will be able to raise them to protect themselves from this virus, and in turn, to protect their own children from it someday.
I hope that this young woman's life is marked with joys and happiness; that her successes become a symbol and reflection of what this epidemic can look like for the millions of us living with the virus around the world. Yet I know the truth is her life will have struggles just like the rest of us, and the attention thrust upon her and her family at such a young age will be a tremendous burden to bear.
I used to not have any hope that a cure would be found for this virus, and especially when my HIV anniversary rolls around I begin to doubt that any progress is being made and think that nothing is changing. But now I have hope that a cure will be found for me too someday. But this amazing story has me enthralled with possibility -- the possibility of a future without HIV.
And while today will always mark an extremely difficult day in my life, maybe next year my anniversary with HIV won't be something I'm sad and anxious about -- maybe it'll be an event I celebrate as the day the first cure for the next generation was found. No matter what happens, I'll be following this story closely. I'm sure the rest of the world will be too.

OT: Craziest offers to recruits --ESPN video
Plucked up the courage enough to take a stab at my first post.
ESPN shot a quick video of the craziest offers coaches and fans have made to potential recruits. From Ty Isaac being offered a car, to a child asking a Florida recruit to commit, and not surprisingly a recruit being accompanied by identical twins all night.
Here is the link: http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=8867174
Interesting to note the schools & conferences many of these kids are into as they heard these offers.
I will try to embed in the comments, but I am assuming I will need help.
Thanks for reading. Hope my first post wasn't a bore! Open to suggestions.
EDIT: Well, mods, feel free to take this down. Looks like ESPN has since removed the video. So much for a first impression on my part.
EDIT EDIT: Whirlwind of a first post, but turns out MgoUser TRUBLUMICH has saved the day! I'll upvote him all day.

By Meeyoung Cho and Mari Saito
SEOUL/TOKYO (Reuters) - South Korea on Friday extended a ban on Japanese fishery imports to a larger area around the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant due to growing concerns over radiation contamination.
Further fuelling those concerns, the plant's operator Tokyo Electric Power Co, or Tepco, said it was "very concerned" that radioactive water could flow towards a bypass it is digging to divert clean groundwater around the damaged reactors and into the sea.
The bypass is a key element of the company's attempts to contain an escalating problem of irradiated water at the nuclear facility that was knocked out by an earthquake and tsunami in March 2011.
The Korean move - widening its ban to cover imports from eight Japanese prefectures, including Fukushima - came as Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe broke away early from a Group of 20 Summit in Russia to pitch Tokyo's bid to host the 2020 Olympic Games, with assurances that the Japanese capital would be safe for all those coming to the Games. A decision by the International Olympic Committee is due on Saturday.
A spokesman for the South Korean Prime Minister's office said the measures were due to "the sharply increased concern in the public about the flow of hundreds of tons of contaminated water into the ocean" at Fukushima. The indefinite ban, which takes effect on Monday and affects some of Japan's biggest fishing areas, adds to international pressure to fix the crisis at the Fukushima plant, 230 km (140 miles) north of Tokyo.
China has banned imports of dairy, vegetable and seafood products from at least five Japanese prefectures, including Fukushima, since the disaster.
Korean Vice Fisheries Minister Son Jae-hak said information received from Japan was not good enough to properly judge the situation, and Seoul will also tighten testing on fisheries imports from other parts of Japan.
South Korea imported 5,000 metric tons (5511 tons) of fishery products from the eight affected prefectures last year, out of a total of 40,000 metric tons of imports from Japan, Son said.
Tepco admitted in July, after months of denials, that contaminated groundwater was leaking into the sea.
Yoshihide Suga, Japan's top government spokesman, insisted the country's fisheries exports are safe for consumption, with stringent inspection procedures in place. Toxic water is confined to a small bay near the Fukushima plant and, even there, he said, radiation readings are well within permitted levels.
"We have been providing relevant information to the South Korean government," Suga told reporters. "We would like South Korea to take steps based on scientific evidence."
Tepco said last month that 300 metric tons of toxic water leaked from one of hundreds of tanks assembled to store contaminated run-off, and it has since found radiation hotspots in three other holding areas.
As the sense of crisis has escalated, Abe's government this week pledged nearly half a billion dollars to help Tepco try to contain the contaminated water.
The tank that leaked radioactive water is at least 130 meters (426 feet) above the planned bypass area, but Tepco said the leak may have already reached groundwater - suggesting the bypass may have to be dug much further from the sea than planned, complicating an already fraught effort.
"We're not at the point where we can say radioactive water is actually reaching the groundwater, but if it's having an impact we will have to consider other measures," said Tepco spokesman Noriyuki Imaizumi.
Local fishermen have consistently opposed the bypass plan, and on Friday reiterated they would not accept any release of even low-radioactive water into the sea, as has been suggested by Japan's nuclear regulator.

We've already seen the American Fiat-Yamaha R1 LE, with its race livery and fake Rossi signature, but the new race rep's from Yamaha France will feature paint schemes from both the Fiat-Yamaha and Monster Tech3 Yamaha teams. For the added €1,000 price tag the race replica's demand, they're actually a pretty good value, especially when compared to the American YZF-R1 LE. More on that after the jump.

DENVER – Free-agent NHL defenceman Cory Sarich is recovering in a Calgary hospital after a cycling accident this week.
His agent, Tim Hodgson, released a statement Wednesday saying that Sarich was airlifted to the hospital after being hit by a motor vehicle in Invermere, British Columbia. The release said the extent of Sarich's injuries isn't known, but were not considered life-threatening. He remains in stable condition.
The 35-year-old Sarich said it's been "a rough couple of days and I'm grateful for the support I've been receiving." There's no timeline for his recovery.
Sarich has spent a majority of his 15-year NHL career with the Calgary Flames and Tampa Bay Lightning. He suited up last season for Colorado, helping the Avalanche make the post-season for the first time since 2010.

PEP wrote:Steve and Doc and others partisapating in this thread....
you all might find this interesting.....
I came across another article, called "Lucky 13"
printed in the No.33 Strickly Elvis January, 1971
Where a fan by the name of Debbie Lynn Gobins
gives her account as to what she saw happening
at the Phoenix concert on Sept 9th 1970....
The article was called "Lucky 13"
This is an excerpt from her article where she is quoted
saying this about camera's.
Debbie Lynn Gobins wrote:
" I sat there in my seat anxiously waiting to see Elvis.
Ordinarily I don't talk that much..( by the way she was
seating in row 13 thus the reason for the article being
called Lucky 13)..
I'm kind of quiet around people I don't know.
But tonight was different.
I saw some cameras and was wondering if they were
movie cameras so I asked the man next to me. He said
they were, and that the cameras would be filming parts
of the audience as well as Elvis.
A moment later he pointed out Colonel Parker to me."
Take note: even tho the article appeared in a 71'
issue of "Strickly Elvis", back then it would sometimes
take months until your article appeared in the magazine.
In othere words this article would most likely have
been wrtten shorty after her experience at the
concert and sent to Strickly Elvis late September,
early October 1970.
The issue states its January 71'... However the
finale touches on the magazine were done proably
at least six weeks prior to the issue being sent out,
this would mean this issue would have been completed
sometime during November of 70', just a little over
two months after the concert..
Strickly Elvis back then came out once a month...
So this issue would have been in your hands
late November early December of 70'......
The recollection of the female fan was likely a honest
one, even tho lacking in detail from what we really want
to know some thirty six years later, she appears to have
had No motive to hype or make things sound more than
what they were not.....
With the respect of saying cameras instead of camera
we can assume she meant more than one and once again
points out when she spoke to the man the intention was
for the cameras to film the audience and most importantly

If you look at the people and what they are wearing how they look(haircuts/style/dress etc etc ) this is 1970 all the way...Most definately not 1977.
Also another big clue is this is a 35mm camera nothing like the cameras used for the CBS Special.
This is 1970.

anybody know what film stock/cameras were in place to film Boston-Also is that Karate Kata at end of Suspicious Minds to Tutt's rampant drum ending caught on film in it's entirety?
Also Anybody know if the following exists:-
69 Dress Rehaersals they were open so someone surely got at least some 8mm film?

Houstan Astrodome they filmed one of the press conferences-who filmed it-and WHY? It's like someone is having a laugh because all the concerts that didnt get film and in the middle of it all we get this big tease-why on earth didnt they decide to film at least part of the show(yeah iseen cr@ppy 8mm film from distance-i dont mean that)Ant to think they let pro still photographers get close ups too! And why film one of these Houstan Astrodome Press Conferences and not the more important other one with the RCA awards? this situation really stinks bad..

The world's first lab-grown hamburger was cooked and eaten in London today. The burger was grown from stem cells taken from a dead cow.
It cost $325,000 to grow, but researchers believe the technology will eventually reduce the cost of meat production and meet growing demand.
The BBC's science correspondent, Pallab Ghosh, has had exclusive access to the laboratory in the Netherlands where the meat was grown, and spoke to the researchers involved.
Austrian food critic Hanni Ruetzler, who tasted the burger, said: "There is quite some intense taste; it's close to meat, but it's not that juicy"
- Pallab Ghosh, science correspondent for BBC News. He tweets @BBCPallab.
From NPR and WBUR Boston, I'm Robin Young. It's HERE AND NOW. They came. They chewed. They weren't conquered. Volunteers tasted their first lab-grown hamburger cooked up in London this morning. Their verdict?
HANNI RUETZLER: It's close to meat. It's not that juicy. And there is quite some flavor with the browning.
YOUNG: Some flavor. That meat was grown from stem cells taken from a dead cow, and that burger cost more than $300,000 to grow. But researchers believe it could eventually reduce the cost of meat production, meet growing demand for meat, and maybe mean fewer dead animals. The BBC's Pallab Ghosh toured the lab in the Netherlands where the meat was grown.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: Let's have a quick look around.
PALLAB GHOSH: London's catering made easy exhibition in 1964.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: How about a quick snack?
GHOSH: What a jolly good idea.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: That's where the beef burger comes in. Feed it one pound of fine mince meat, and in less than no time, it makes 16 beef burgers ready to be fried or grilled.
GHOSH: It was a revolutionary food of the future back then.
MARK POST: We take all these small tissues to produce a hamburger.
GHOSH: And a revolutionary food of the future in the future.
POST: Here you see from this freezer the first batches of muscle tissue that eventually are going to make the entire hamburger.
GHOSH: Professor Mark Post proudly shows me around his laboratory at Maastricht University. Around me are incubators filled with layer upon layer of trays containing pink liquid, each growing stem cells taken from a dead cow. These then grow into thin strips of white-colored muscle, which is then painstakingly put together into patties, which will eventually be put together to make the world's first lab-grown burger. But why?
POST: We are doing that because livestock meat production is not good for the environment, is eventually not going to meet the demand of the world, and it's not good for the animals.
GHOSH: But Professor Tara Garnett, of the Food Policy Research Network at Oxford University, says policymakers need to look beyond technological solutions to address what she describes as the immense problem of meeting growing demand for food across the world.
TARA GARNETT: We have a situation in the world at present where 1.4 billion people are overweight or obese, and at the same time we have a situation where nearly a billion people worldwide go to bed hungry. That's weird, and it's unacceptable. And the solutions don't lie with necessarily producing more food but changing the systems of supply and access and affordability.
GHOSH: Food writer Sybil Kapoor sizzles up her own homemade hamburgers. She says she feels uneasy about increasing the amount of synthetic food in our diet.
SYBIL KAPOOR: I'm a great believer in things being natural, and I think that the further you get away from a normal natural diet for people, the more potential risks that people can run in terms of health and all sorts of other issues. I don't really like the idea of everything coming out of the factory.
GHOSH: For many, lab-grown meat may seem like the ultimate in processed food, an unnatural abomination. But for the researchers behind the project, the real abomination is to carry on as we are and waste precious resources to farm meat in an ever more unsustainable way. But the latest U.N. report on food and agriculture suggests that the rise in demand for meat across the world is slowing. So lab-grown meat may turn out to be a technological solution to a problem that may never emerge.
YOUNG: The BBC's Pallab Ghosh in London. Well, coming up, there ought to be a law. At least some members of Congress think there should be a law to govern college sports. That's in one minute. HERE AND NOW. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

I'm not very good at subtle nail polish. I never get a french manicure – too stuffy for me – and I never really got into the habit of using pale pink or nude polish. My nails are either bare, sporting a coat of clear polish, or covered in a great color. I think of nail polish as an accessory – why be boring?!
My allegiance to bright polishes was swayed when I tried Thanks a Windmillion from OPI's Holland collection. This pale sage green is gorgeous, and looks extra interesting when paired with a matte top coat. I wore this religiously all spring, and am looking forward to bringing it back in the fall to contrast all of my go-to dark colors.

William Coblentz, who helped shape California's postwar history — battling Gov. Ronald Reagan as a liberal university regent, representing Patricia Hearst and the Jefferson Airplane as a lawyer, shepherding major building projects as a power broker — died on Sept. 13 in San Francisco. He was 88.
His daughter, Wendy, confirmed the death.
Mr. Coblentz (pronounced KAHB-lenz) was a fixture of the California establishment, with political roots in the administration of Gov. Pat Brown and membership in San Francisco's prestigious Bohemian Club. He was one of the bigwigs who met in the St. Francis Hotel in 1967 to choose a lawyer named Joseph Alioto to run for mayor. Mr. Alioto went on to serve two terms.
Not only did Mr. Coblentz pop up in the must-read newspaper columns of Herb Caen (once for being sprayed by a skunk), he also negotiated Mr. Caen's contracts with The San Francisco Chronicle.
But it was after Reagan used attacks against the University of California to be elected governor in 1966 that Mr. Coblentz gained fame. He had been appointed a regent of the state's university system by Governor Brown in 1964.
Reagan denounced the university's "spirit of permissiveness" as he quelled student disturbances and imposed tuition. Mr. Coblentz defended professors and lecturers, including the African-American radicals Angela Davis and Eldridge Cleaver.Continue reading the main story
Mr. Coblentz himself was at home in a tie and was shocked when the Jefferson Airplane invited him to a dinner where each guest had two joints by his plate.
In an oral history interview in 2002, Mr. Coblentz, who oversaw the group's bank account at the time, told of the Airplane's Grace Slick wanting to buy a Mercedes. Ms. Slick refused a cashier's check and asked for cash, which she stuffed in her bra. Two days later, she wrecked the car. She had no insurance.
Mr. Coblentz came to represent the Airplane and other groups, including the Grateful Dead, through his association with the rock impresario Bill Graham. They met when local complaints threatened to keep Mr. Graham's Fillmore Auditorium from opening.
To show the Fillmore was not a blight on a fine neighborhood, Mr. Coblentz had a friend stake out a hotel across the street known to be a house of ill repute. The friend photographed policemen entering. After Mr. Coblentz shared the photos with the Board of Permit Appeals, the Fillmore was approved.
Mr. Coblentz knew Catherine Hearst as a fellow regent, and when her daughter Patricia was kidnapped by a group of radicals calling themselves the Symbionese Liberation Army in 1974, she and her husband, Randolph, hired Mr. Coblentz. He spoke with the S.L.A. for the Hearsts.
One job was arranging the donation of $2 million in food to the poor demanded by the S.L.A. Another was representing two members of the group charged with murder. Mr. Hearst had reasoned that the kidnappers might appreciate free high-priced legal help for their comrades. The members nonetheless soon switched to public defenders.
"They didn't like us, we didn't like them, but they were entitled, as we say, to their day in court," Mr. Coblentz said.
William Kraemer Coblentz was born in Santa Maria, Calif., on July 28, 1922. A doctor's son, he worked at a drugstore as a teenager; graduated from the University of California, Berkeley, with an economics degree; and served in the Army Corps of Engineers in the American South during World War II. He graduated from Yale Law School in 1947.
Mr. Coblentz practiced law in California and became involved with Democratic Party politics. That led to working as an assistant to Mr. Brown, when he was state attorney general and then when he was governor.
The governor offered Mr. Coblentz a judgeship, but he asked to be a university regent. Terms were 16 years, and for the last two years, from 1978 to 1980, Mr. Coblentz was chairman.
As a member and chairman, Mr. Coblentz was the force behind the regents' decision to appeal the Bakke case to the United States Supreme Court.
The case involved Allan Bakke, a white applicant to the medical school of the University of California, Davis, who claimed he was the victim of reverse discrimination and had been passed over in favor of less-qualified blacks. Lower courts had ruled in his favor.
The high court, in a fractured ruling with six different opinions, outlawed racial quotas but left consideration of race as a possibility. It also ordered Mr. Bakke's admission to the medical school.
Interpretations of the ruling have varied, but Mr. Coblentz contended that the case indisputably helped the California university system by showing that it cared for minorities and that it would defend itself vigorously.
Mr. Coblentz later developed a reputation as one of San Francisco's most adroit land-use lawyers, helping steer major projects like AT&T Park, the San Francisco Giants' baseball stadium, through the regulatory labyrinth. As a member of the San Francisco Airport Commission for 16 years, he successfully pushed for free luggage carts like those in foreign airports. A boarding area is to be named for him.
In addition to his daughter, Mr. Coblentz is survived by his wife of 57 years, the former Jean Berlin; his son, Andy; his sister, Lolita Erlanger; and four grandchildren.
Mr. Coblentz, who had a habit of taking the Christmas Day janitorial shift in his office, once called Mr. Reagan "a menopausal Cary Grant" and never apologized. When he retired as a regent in 1980, he was startled when Mr. Reagan appeared in a video tribute.
"Bill, you and I have had our differences," the future president said. "But let bygones be bygones. If you support me, I may make you the next ambassador to Afghanistan."Continue reading the main story

Eve Silverman - Celebrating local culture
On Nov. 2, 2013, a colorful variety of artists, performers and storytellers gave free presentations at the Chehalem Cultural Center in Newberg. The purpose of this Dia de Los Muertos festival: to dispel the public's reservations about this misunderstood holiday by educating residents about Mexican traditions. More than 400 adults and nearly 300 children and youth enjoyed the performances. Attendees learned that celebrations of Dia de Los Muertos ("Day of the Dead" in English) are similar to our more-familiar Memorial Day observances.
The Cultural Center, on East Sheridan Street in Newberg, was observing what it called Latin American Heritage Month with activities and an art exhibit. The performances were partially paid for with a small grant from the Yamhill County Cultural Coalition.
Fortunately for us, the Yamhill County Cultural Coalition (YCCC) is one of 45 county and tribal coalitions statewide receiving funding through the Oregon Cultural Trust. Our local coalition also solicits annual donations from county residents during a campaign ending in December. When residents make donations to both the Oregon Cultural Trust and a local YCCC partner, they receive a tax credit on their state tax returns, a generous benefit for the generous donors.
With grants from YCCC, various groups with projects to share receive the support they need to celebrate the arts, history and the humanities.
YCCC supports both new and continuing projects in an annual grant process. Over the past 10 years, YCCC has awarded grants that total more than $103,000 to 39 different organizations, individuals, schools and libraries. According to guidelines, these grants may pay up to 50 percent of project costs and are capped at $2,500. In 2013, 12 grants were awarded, each helping to offer high-quality experiences and events within our county.
Grantees represent a wide range of cultural interests. Art, public art installations, exhibits, family festivals, historical activities, films, music, literature and writing, and theater productions have been funded. Fascinating opportunities are readily available to everyone in Yamhill County, including youth, adults and senior citizens. Thanks to community groups and the coalition, culture is thriving here. Variety has been key to success and enjoyment.
YCCC supported the Start Making a Reader Today program by providing 400 books for students in pre-kindergarten to third grade. Through its many volunteers, SMART fosters a love of reading and exploration of the world through books. Student surveys indicate that 92 percent of SMART students in Yamhill County demonstrated increased vocabulary and greater confidence, self-esteem and enthusiasm for reading.
Taking love of reading one step further — to writing, YCCC awarded a grant to the Arts Alliance of Yamhill County for its fourth annual Terroir Writing Festival in April. The festival brought 13 nationally acclaimed Oregon writers to McMinnville for lectures and workshops on developing characters, self-publishing, crafting handmade books and writing poetry, biographies, fiction and romance novels.
With a mission "to produce and perform quality classical theater, free of charge … to residents of and visitors to Oregon's Willamette Valley," the Willamette Shakespeare company treated audiences to "Romeo and Juliet" among the oaks and rolling hills at a Dayton vineyard.
Indoors, Valley Repertory Theatre produced "In the Family of Things: Stories of Newberg," which presented compelling life stories of local Iraq War veterans. One attendee commented: "The level of intimacy revealed was captivating!"
Attendees of the International Pinot Noir Celebration viewed "Latinos in the Wine Industry," an exhibit at Linfield College. Students, professors, area Latinos, grape growers and winemakers collaborated to create the exhibit, demonstrating an interesting synergy among education, employment and our growing wine industry. The project will become part of the college's digital library, accessible to all.
Film and music were also represented this past year. In March, audiences enjoyed the second annual environmental film festival presented by the Yamhill Watershed Stewardship Fund. Each of the four free films was followed by a panel discussion. One documentary was an award-winning film about creating art in the world's largest garbage dump.
On eight Tuesdays in summer, the Chehalem Valley Chamber of Commerce presented its annual free Tunes on Tuesday in Newberg's Rotary Centennial Park. Audiences listened to various genres including big band, funk, rock 'n' roll and flapper-era entertainment.
The Yamhill Enrichment Society used a YCCC grant to reproduce 20 historic photos of Dayton for a Historic Home Tour exhibit last August.
YCCC contributed to the development of an art studio for creative expression by older and frail adults living at Friendsview Retirement Community in Newberg. George Fox University students provided art instruction and event planning, adding intergenerational interaction to the project.
Two grantees will complete projects in 2014. The McMinnville Downtown Association applied to YCCC for partial funding of a public art project for its new transit center, expected to be completed in late spring. Linfield College will continue its documentation of the Pacific City dory fleet and its unique surf-launching history, including connections with Yamhill County residents.
In 2014, 13 more diverse projects will be available for everyone to enjoy. I hope you are eager to experience at least some of these cultural activities, which will include new projects, additional grantees and various geographical areas. For more information, visit www.yamhillcountyculture.org.
Guest writer Eve Silverman serves on the board of the Yamhill County Cultural Coalition and actively volunteers with other local cultural organizations and businesses. Before moving to Amity seven years ago, she had a varied career in education, economic development and redevelopment.

RE: Shoud public nudity be legal?

I disagree. Making public nudity not only legal, but acceptable might get rid of pedos all together. Ok, maybe not at first but pretty damn quick. Why are guys, myself included so fixated on breasts? It is because short of going to a titty bar or getting a movie with an x rating, you just don't get to see very many. There are so many r rated movies out there that don't have any nudity at all. I don't watch many G rated disney movies any more, since I am an adult and don't have any kids yet. If my memories of growing up are correct (1980's through 1990's) many disney flicks had at least one naked kid in them as well as a character normally would die at some point in the movie. If us guys would get desensitized by seeing breasts in public more often (by that I mean at all), then it would be the same for those attracted to children. At least that is my theory anyway. These days it is nearly impossible to come across a new r rated film with nudity. By making it more difficult to see, you make it forbidden fruit. Every human being is normally guilty of wanting something that can't have, see, or touch, it just depends on the person what that thing might be.

RE: Shoud public nudity be legal?
I think public toplessness for men and women could be a thing, but pantslessness wouldn't work. You'd still have to put on clothes to go in stores and restaurants for hygiene purposes. You can't just throw away all the health rules. If anything, you could still only be naked at a beach or in your backyard.
I wouldn't want to sit on a bus seat after a crack whore, and I wouldn't want some dirty old man's junk brushing against me in a crowded grocery store line.
I don't think the issue is whether or not people could stand looking at "normal" folks nude (though I don't think people have the right to dictate what a person should wear based on their perceived attractiveness), I think it's a hygiene issue. Hell, even strippers in many places have to wear pasties, and they are paid to take their clothes off. You'd have to change a lot of other laws to permit nudity other than just public nudity laws. You have to wear shirts in a food place, you need to wear shoes, etc.
I wish people were less sensitive about nudity though. People used to be shocked because, as an art student, I had to stare at nude models all day. An ex-friend went to a community college where they were so uptight about nudity, they made the male models wear g-strings. I've never heard of that happening in a college before. I also hate it when people would ask me, "What if the model is fat? What if she's not attractive?" because you're not drawing them to get off, you're drawing them to get used to drawing the human figure. Also, people didn't realize how many male models we had. Even fat and unattractive ones! Even there people were very immature about it, a lot of nervous giggling and such like they'd never seen a naked human before. Anyway, that shit irritated me a lot.

A towel is every bit as good as a pair of pants, assuming you sit on it squarely as far as I'm concerned. I'd be okay with it.

Quote:I wouldn't want to sit on a bus seat after a crack whore, and I wouldn'tThe issue of people sitting naked is easily solved by placing a towel on the seat. If the 'crack whore' is so dirty would you want to sit on the seat if she was wearing clothes soiled with poo and dried semen? And if she is naked and you are clothed why should you care what you sit on? Clothes protect you from your external environment.
As for the dirty old man, would he be any less invasive with clothes on, rubbing his clothed penis on you?

Organization Inspiration: 10 Neat & Beautiful Closets
Good closet space is key to living well in any size home. But just because it's behind closed doors doesn't mean you should let your closet become a mess. Maintain your sanity and maximize your storage space by keeping your closet the same as any other room in the house — neat, beautiful and organized.
Whether it's bedroom closets, coat closets, linen closets and anything in between, we've rounded up 10 great examples tidy storage spaces. After looking through the images you'll see there are few common tricks for making your closet tidy and useful:
1. Awkward & High Spaces: Make the most of unusual forms by strategically locating items that best fit the space. Install shelves as high as you can go, and then locate shorter items such as shoes, bins and laundry hampers on short walls and under low hanging clothing. Take advantage of narrow spaces by utilizing pull out drawers and hooks. Lastly, don't forget to keep a step-stool or ladder near by for those hard to reach items.
2. Built-in: Yes, it's more expensive then a simple rod and shelf, but a built-in closet system is well worth it, especially when you're short on space. Nicole of Making It Lovely has one of my favorite closets: she used IKEA's Pax system, sketched out the design to make sure there is a place for everything, and while she's using every last inch her closet doesn't look cluttered.
3. Put a Bin On It: Bins can go a long way to keeping your goods corralled. Use them to separate toiletries, assign one to each family member, or put them up high for out of season or seldom used items.
4. Use the Doors: Don't forget about your bonus storage surface — the door! Hooks, bars and shelves can all be installed to keep narrow items organized.
5. Roll It Up: Whether it's towels or t-shirts, rolling rather than folding seems saves a significant amount of space. Because you can avoid having to pull from the bottom or middle, it actually keeps piles from getting disheveled and helps prevent wrinkles.

Note: This review was originally posted on January 29, 2002
Wanadoo's Loch Ness is a traditional point-and-click adventure set on the shores of the storied Scottish lake. And while the story doesn't have much to do with the lake's most famous resident, it's still a good-looking, atmospheric, and fun game.
The first thing you'll notice about Loch Ness is the terrific music. Music, like voice acting, is a department with troublingly few highs when it comes to games. So it really stands out that the game uses a robust and dramatic Highland-flavored score. Each chapter heading is accompanied by this vivid music, and it was so nice to listen to that it actually stopped me from plunging immediately forward. And let's just say than when a game has music you want to stop and savor, it's a good thing.
The game begins with an excellent cutscene in Chicago that frames the entire story as a flashback. Our hero is a 30s detective who has roots in the Loch Ness area. He's summoned to the Highlands to help with a series of mysterious happenings, including the disappearance of a family patriarch.
Much of the game takes place in the drafty old Scottish family castle. You'll meet the creepy old dowager of the family, though she won't be much help to you as she's virtually out of her mind with grief. There's also an exotic Indian valet, a gruff handyman, a mysteriously out-of-sight daughter and a hearty neighbor who may or may not be up to no good.
Soon you learn about a mysterious artifact of great power that long ago was split into three different pieces. Each element - actually a jewel - has been carefully safeguarded by each of three different families. Your major mission in the story is to find the jewels and recreate the artifact.
The format of the game is first person, and the engine is that same tried-and-true 360-degree scrolling, center-cursored warhorse that's served well in many recent Gallic games, such as the two Draculas, Amerzone, The Messenger, and others. As with all games made on this engine, careful exploration of each environment is an absolute must, because one missing item can cause annoying stuckness. As in most traditional point-and-click adventures, more areas both in and around the castle open up to you as you progress through the game. You'll get to explore a musty old attic, a secret study, a creepy old chapel, a mill, and several other entertaining environments.
The puzzles in the game are entertaining and intuitive. This isn't one of those brain-spraining games where you'll depend on the walkthrough to save your sanity. The variety of brain ticklers is excellent as well. The puzzles play fair with the player, and don't get in the way of an entertaining story. I must warn the reader that the game does contain a few timed puzzles, but they are actually fun and pretty forgiving, as timed puzzles go.
Graphically, the game is attractive without being spectacular. The prerendered depictions of the castle and surrounding coutryside create a lovely mood, but you'll wish they had a more impressive resolution. By the end of the game I wondered if our main character was near-sighted.
There are a few preposterous things to swallow as you uncover the secrets of Loch Ness, though nothing as outrageous as the howlers in the recent Mystery of the Druids. And as I mentioned before, if you pick up this game hoping to have a meaningful close encounter with Nessie, you're in for disapointment.
Additionally, it would be nice if there had been just a bit more attention to geographical veracity. Toward the end of the game you have an exciting excursion below the depths in Loch Ness itself, and it's pretty distracting that the game suggests the lake is quite shallow. You don't have to know much about Loch Ness to know it's remarkably deep, so deep that it contains far more water than all of the lakes and rivers in Britain put together. Playing the game makes you wonder if any of the creative team have ever been to Scotland.
All that having been said, the story is generally absorbing and servicable, if not remarkable.
The voice acting is adequate but nothing to write home about.
Considering Wanadoo is the same studio responsible for the loathsome Cryptonomicon, I'm pleased to report that if Loch Ness is any indication, the team is back on the right track. Like Road to India, Loch Ness is a mild, solid, atmospheric and entertaining bit of manna from heaven for the adventure faithful.

Jan. 20, 2001
Head Coach Chris Denker
On winning on the road in the WCC
"That was big for us. That was the biggest challenge and that's all we really talked about heading into tonight, not how we were going to defend this way, not how to run our offense that way, but respond. We were very disappointed to lose last night, the way we lost. We showed some heart. The kids played really hard. I'll tell you, after Saint Mary's, the looks on their faces was one of determination. Yesterday, we had a couple of shots that unfortunately we didn't make and tonight, before we started, we decided that that was not going to happen."
On Annie Garrison's 25 points
"I think the kids look to see and if they can get it inside to her, they will. But Annie's also really unselfish, sometimes to a fault. She understands what she did tonight. There's a time to be a little bit more selfish and take the ball to the basket. So that was good."
On speaking to his team at halftime down by five points
"It was a really simple deal. I didn't think there were any major adjustments needed to be made. We made a couple of minor ones, but it was more a matter of `have a frame of mind, get out there and decide if you're going to win the game. It's not going to be easy, USF is a good team. Road games in the WCC are never, ever, ever easy. It's not going to come easy.' They needed to step up and make big plays if they wanted to win the game. And they finally decided they were going to do it."
On the early conference race
"We didn't feel out of it at all, but we felt we weren't playing particularly great for a while."
Senior Forward Annie Garrison
(25 points, 10 rebounds, fifth season double-double)
Yesterday, we had another close game and we didn't step up and win it in the end and we weren't going to let that happen again, so we all did what we had to do. This is especially a big win for us. We needed to come back and respond to that loss last night and show everybody in the conference what we're made of."
On head coach Chris Denker's halftime speech
"He said `Play with some heart and show us what you got.'"
On looking to score
"If that's how the play goes... we have a lot of good scorers on our team, so we just read and see what the defense give us and go with that."

Emmy Rossum is planning a New Year assault on the album charts after recording a compilation of standards.
The Phantom of the Opera star has revamped the classic tracks she grew up listening to for Sentimental Journey - A Covers Collection of Classic Songs.
She says, "I grew up surrounded by classical music singing in the Children's Chorus at The Metropolitan Opera and when I would come home, the house was filled with the voices of Frank Sinatra, Sam Cooke, and Judy Garland.
"For as long as I can remember, my mother would sing Apple Blossom Time to me as a bedtime lullaby. Classics, jazz, and standards really infused my childhood and so it felt quite natural to finally make this record."
The album, which will be released on 29 January (13), features Rossum's renditions of These Foolish Things (Remind Me Of You), (I'll Be With You) In Apple Blossom Time, Summer Wind and Willie Nelson's Pretty Paper.

We've been watching the progress of the new Nolita location of popular Sunset Park bar/pizzeria Toby's Public House with great interest over the last few months. After a few hitches with neighborhood vandals opposed to grating the owners a liquor license, Toby's finally opened a few weeks ago with a full menu of salads, antipasti, pizza, and desserts. The liquor license issue is still up in the air.
The good news? Their oven is real wood-fired. To the best of my knowledge, it's the only wood-fired pizza oven in the vicinity of Little Italy, which gives it the potential of being the best pizza in Little Italy as well.
Toby's doesn't do slices, but whole pies cook fast. We called in an order from the office, was told it'd be ready in ten minutes, went over to pick it up, and found that it had been ready to go for a few minutes before we got there. I'd estimate closer to 6 minutes from order to readiness. This is also a good sign, indicating that the pies cook fast—that's what you want if the perfect balance of crispness and chew are what you're after.
Pies range in price from $13 (a plain Margherita) to $18 (made with prosciutto and black truffle cream), with most of their 18 variations sitting at $14 or $15.
The wood-burning oven really does make a difference. Toby's pies are certainly not Neapolitan, but they aren't quite New York in style either. They straddle the two styles leaning a little closer to New York, but they do show a good amount of char and bubbling around their edges and underneath, with a nicely raised edge.
Their sauce is unremarkable but fresh tasting, and while I could have done with a bit more crispness in the super thing crust (these slices flop if you hold'em from the edges), the dough itself was nicely flavored. I enjoyed eating the bones of this pie almost as much as the center.
You can see from the underbelly shot here that they keep their ovens reasonably hot, which translates to a nice amount of char and a subtle smokiness. My biggest complaint? The cheese. It's clear they're using fresh mozzarella instead of the low-moisture shredded king typical on a New York pie, but it's not of the highest quality. Rather than melting into gooey, moist puddles, it stays mostly intact, coming off more as dry than creamy the way a great fresh mozzarella should be. My guess is that they buy in bulk and refrigerate, causing the cheese to lose its good melting properties.
Is it a pie worthy of making a special trip? No way. Is it a step up from the standard NY by-the-slice joint? Absolutely. Add to that the fact that once the liquor license issues get handled, you can get it with a couple of pints or a cocktail on the side, and it's not a bad thing at all. As Ed put it: "If this were the new standard for typical New York pizza, I'd be happy with that."

Product Description 2010 Nomad 44" Wakeskate:
How do you improve the winningest shape in wakeskate history? Easy, enlist the help Scott Bouchard. That's right Butch and Grubb teamed up to shape everything Grubb was looking for. The new and improved Nomad series starts with a blended 3-stage rocker line to generate more speed into the wake. Butch built a wider overall profile for increased surface area to give Grubby the extra wake-to-wake pop he wanted. To ensure the ride was not too loose, however, the pair designed dual base channels for tighter edge hold into the wake. Finished off with more pronounced concaves and a hybrid EVA / grip tape top, the Nomad is built to win another generation of titles.

RU Names International Education Director
Dr. Lisa Childress has been named director of the International Education Center at Radford University.
Childress comes to RU from LKC Internationalization Consulting, where she worked with universities to institute programs throughout their curriculum that engage faculty in international teaching and research to develop globally competent students. Childress has also worked at the Duke University School of Law and U.Va.'s Darden School of Business, where she helped internationalize programs on campus and overseas and served as an international career consultant. She also taught English in Japan for two years through the Japanese Ministry of Education.
"RU is comprised of highly-dedicated educators and leaders committed to developing globally competent students and there is an abundance of opportunities here already," she said. "I look forward to exploring and developing the relationships that will weave that ethos through every fabric of the community."
The International Education Center assists RU students pursuing study abroad, facilitates on-campus international programs and assists international students and faculty with immigration and naturalization needs.
"Study-abroad and other international education programs are critical to preparing well-rounded and liberally educated citizens. For many students, international experiences are truly transformational," said RU Provost Sam Minner. "At an instrumental level, international education provides our students with competitive advantages in a global economy and an interconnected world. I am so happy Dr. Childress is with us and I look forward to working with her to advance international education on the RU campus."
Childress has an Ed.D. in higher education administration from George Washington University, a master's in administrative planning and social policy from Harvard University, and her undergraduate degree is from U.Va. in rhetoric and communication studies.
Radford University is a comprehensive public university of more than 9,900 students. RU serves the Commonwealth of Virginia and the nation through a wide range of academic, cultural, human service, and research programs. Well known for its strong faculty/student bonds, innovative use of technology in the learning environment and vibrant student life on a beautiful 191-acre American classical campus, Radford University offers students many opportunities to get involved and succeed in and out of the classroom. The university offers 69 degree programs at the undergraduate level, and 21 master's programs and three doctoral programs at the graduate level. A Division I member of the NCAA and Big South Athletic Conference, Radford participates in 19 varsity sports—11 for women and eight for men. Since 2005, the university has secured approval and funding for nearly $300 million in capital projects, including both new construction and renovation.

We study the molecular pharmacology of neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs). These ligand-gated ion channels are the seat of nicotine addiction and are implicated in a wide range of other neurological abnormalities such as Parkinson's disease and attention disorders. Most recently, we have been interested in the positive allosteric modulation of nAChRs, the phenomenon of a drug enhancing the activity an agonist such as acetylcholine from a remote, distinct site on the receptor protein. Allosteric modulation of nAChRs is growing in importance as it becomes better understood and as novel compounds with this pharmacological profile are identified. We elucidated the mechanism of action for the compound morantel and we determined that morantel binds at subunit interfaces distinct from those that bind agonist. As an extension of these findings, we are currently working to identify the molecular determinants through which the modulator binding site communicates with the agonist binding site and with the channel gate directly, and to identify the molecular determinants of morantel site specificity. These studies employ macroscopic voltage-clamp recordings combined with mutational and chemical modification analyses. To support these primary aims, we are also exploring the potentiation mechanism by single-channel recordings and mathematical modeling. Our work is innovative because we are challenging the paradigm of activation of nAChRs by occupying two agonist binding sites: We are studying a previously unknown nAChR ligand binding site, and our work stands to substantially strengthen the foundation for rational design of nAChR positive allosteric modulators, a drug class with possible clinical applications.
