The music industry in Jamaica is bursting at the seams, as new artistes vie to make their contribution to the World renowned Reggae Music. But the one separated from the pack, is an outstanding individual named Corey Marcus Alexander Garvey affectionately called Izrel, aka The Cotton Pikka. Corey has been a part of this endeavor since the age of seven, performing in his Waterford community and the extended Portmore area, where he projected his own style dominating the stage; he was both a thrill and a treat. It then became quite evident that he was destined for the World stage. Corey continues to be the live wire he was then, as he displays intense vibrancy on stage today; and has a unique way of connecting with his audience like no other.
Izrel's love for music has propelled him into the role of Song Writer. His lyrics are profound and relatable to all generations. Hence, his hit single "Pack Up Yu Things" feat. Ras Ajai, and produced by Dean Fraser, seized the number #1 spot for five weeks on Links TV's Top Twenty video Countdown. The video also ruffled the charts on Hype TV's VTX Top Ten Countdown, securing the #5 spot and has been getting regular rotation on CVM TV and TVJ.
The Cotton Pikka has made appearances at events such as, "Sting", "ST. Mary Mi Cum Fram", "Champions In Action", "Rebel Salute", "West Kingston Jamboree", "Portmore Culture Fest", "Summer Is Here"and "Tarrus and Frenz in Concert". He's also the opening act for reggae super star Tarrus Riley. Not only does Izrel focuses his energy on live performances, but has graced mass media with his 'bubbly' personality appearing on television programs like Smile Jamaica TVJ, Hype TV, Intense, Entertainment Prime, E/Plus, Swag TV, etc. For Radio, he sat on "Full House Fridays" on Fame FM, "Vibing with the artiste" on Sun City Radio and News Talk 93 FM. Also, Internet radio interviews.
Izrel is presently recording his Debut album alongside veterans such as, Bobby Digital, Cali-Buds, Dean Fraser, Mikey Bennett, Big Ship Records and Executive producer Richard Dawkins, CEO and co-founder of (KMI) Kingston Music Institution.
Still, Pikka is a man of his own order, and has a lot up his sleeve."Nuttin nuh happen B4 the time" he would say. With his soon to be released album, his raspy voice features romance and hardcore alike; setting the mood and pumping up the vibes. The Cotton Pikka is very diverse with his choice of lyrics, causing tracks like "Nuh Trust Them" feat. Jah Rain "Pack up Yu Tingz", "Poor People" and "Blaze up Sup'hm", to receive regular air play gaining traction worldwide. Izrel not only captures ones attention with his songs, but also with his charisma; yet, he's a steel of a deal and nothing seems to break him. He is Incomparable, with the Zeal to Record Exemplary Lyrics. Hence, the name IZREL.
Corey Marcus Alexander Garvey, the man that defines quality music, has now come full circle back on the community stage; only this time he's in full command and more daring as ever. He possesses the capacity to take Reggae music to another level. (KMI) Kingston Music Institution is now empowered to set the bar for quality music, with an outstanding artiste as Izrel "The Cotton Pikka "wearing its label.

Recently we have seen phishing scams that begin in the private sector make the jump to specifically target federal employees. In one case, attackers targeting Gmail accounts gained access to the accounts of U.S. government officials.
Phishing, in fact, is by far the most common means of attack in federal networks, so every fed should be aware of the latest trends in these areas in case the attacks are aimed again at the government.
To an attentive user, many phishing e-mails can be easy to spot — poor grammar, typos, dodgy e-mail addresses and absurd scenarios being some of the tip-offs — but some of them still get through anyway.
Related story:
To hackers, government users are phish in a barrel
A new trend in phishing attacks — which actually is a revival of an old one — is turning violent. Targeted just at users in Australia so far, it's a pretty scary delivery that comes as a text message.
The message supposedly is sent from a hit man who was contracted to kill the recipient. However, this hit man is supposedly looking to get a better deal than his employer offered, and is willing to let the victim off the hook for a mere $5,000.
The text of the message is: "Sum1 paid me to kill you. Get spared, 48hrs to pay $5000. If you inform the police or anybody, death is promised."
A Yahoo address is given for the lucky mark to contact the hit man to negotiate for their life. Police in Australia believe this is the work of an organized crime ring. They have advised people to ignore the e-mails, but don't know if anyone actually has paid the ransom.
Personally, having played the Hitman video game series (one of my favorite), I would be tempted to e-mail the would-be assassin and admonish him for breaking the code. How dare he contact a mark and offer a way out of a sealed contract. If I forwarded such an offer to his employer, it would be he who would be under the gun. No hit man should be that unprofessional. But I digress.
This may well be a local scam and never reaches the United States. But I think there is at least the possibility that this might be a trial run to see how profitable such a scam involving the threat of violence might be in terms of a fishing attack. Call it fishing with dynamite.
In 2007, for example, a similar scam made the rounds in the United States, this one from a supposed hit man who had been contracted for $50,000. The message promised to let the target off the hook for $80,000 and would show evidence that that hit was real for $20,000 (the real goal of the scam).
It's conceivable that if the technique yields a lot of response, it could be modified in other ways, and re-targeted at feds, especially if the Chinese are behind this as they were with the other known federal attacks.
Think about an e-mail that supposedly came from a hit man, but instead of demanding money, it demanded access to a federal network, or sensitive passwords. What if it threatened a user's kids or family? Sure, the vast majority of people would never fall for something like this, but past scams have proved that the unlikely can happen.
Let's hope it doesn't come to that, but be on your guard just in case.

I would add, since this is illegal notifying the authorities is a good idea. While many times the authorities are not well equipped to deal with cybercrime such as this, as more people report it will draw more attention and more resources...
This is a standard 419 scam which only began showing up 2-3 years ago.
What can be disconcerting is if the scammer has some info about the victim other than his email address. But even so, it is highly unlikely the recipient is in any danger.
Above all, one should NOT EVER reply to such an email. And most definitely, one should never send money, as they will never see the money again, and they will only get further emails from other scammers using the same or other types of scams.
Firstly, of course, such an email is illegal. Not only is it a scam, but it could be classified as "extportion".
The best defense is to first trace the email by using the full email header.
In Gmail, look for the link just above the email that says "show original". Click on it, and the email with full headers will appear in a new tab.
In Yahoo, scroll down to the bottom of the email and you will see on the right side a link that says "Show Full Headers". Click on that, and you will again see the email with the full header.
Copy the email header, and go to this page:
Paste the header into the space provided, and click the button that says "Trace Email Sender".
More likely than not you will find the sender is in another country. Or if in the same country as you, pretty far away.
It is also most likely they are using a VPN connection, proxy server, or some other way to mask their IP address.
This can give the recipient of such an email some peace of mind, knowing the scammer is nowhere near them.
The next thing to do, is delete the email, and if possible, use your filter settings to block the sender's email address.
The third thing to do is....go on living your life as normal. You will not hear from the idiot again.

China's Danger Maps highlight health hazards
Dirt the party doesn't like to talk about exposed by mashup
China's many environmental hazards are well documented, as are its government's less than transparent approach to governing. But one enterprising local start-up has managed to address both in a new app which uses publicly available information to let users check whether they're about to move next door to a landfill.
Danger Maps mashes up data from local government environmental departments and China's environmental protection ministry with Baidu Maps to present users with a detailed view of any local health hazards.
Results can be listed within a 5km radius or expanded to 5-10kms from the searched-for location.
A quick search for this reporter's flat on Hong Kong Island yielded several petrol stations, a Shell refinery, three sewage treatment plants and – presumably if the worst happens – two local hospitals.
Information listed includes the name and type of facility, its address and the distance to the user's location, all of which could be pretty useful for flat-hunters – especially those moving to a new area with children in tow.
Tian Yu of the not-for-profit app developer IT Engineers for Environmental Protection Association told TechInAsia that the idea for designing the tool came because he lives next door to a landfill.
"I thought, if I had known about the environmental situation here when I was buying a house, perhaps my decision would have been more well informed and maybe I wouldn't have bought the house at all," he said.
The next stage of the project is apparently to work with environmental groups to build a platform whereby users can report new facilities or incidents – thereby crowdsourcing to build up an even more comprehensive picture of environmental hazards.
Thanks in part to the power of social media, the Chinese public has become increasingly vocal about the environmental and health effects of polluting heavy industry – a knock-on effect of the country's rapid economic growth.
Tens of thousands took to the streets of Shifang in Sichuan province in the summer to protest local government plans to build a molybdenum copper plant, for example.
The UK government, of course, has had its own version Danger Maps for some time now. The police.uk site maps out criminal incidents in the vicinity of a user's location.
However, the site appears to have backfired somewhat after it emerged that locals were deliberately not reporting crimes for fear of devaluing the neighbourhood. ®

HONG KONG (AP) — Asian stocks sank Friday as jitters over the crises in Iraq and Ukraine escalated but Chinese stocks rose after trade figures showed surprisingly strong growth in exports.
KEEPING SCORE: Japan's Nikkei 225 led Asian declines, sliding 2.8 percent to 14,814.07 as the yen strengthened. South Korea's Kospi lost 1.1 percent to 2,032.24 and Hong Kong's Hang Seng shed 0.2 percent to 24,336.85. In mainland China, the Shanghai Composite Index climbed 0.2 percent to 2,191.41. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 fell 1.2 percent to 5,441.90. Markets in India and Southeast Asia fell.
CHINA DATA: In the latest update on the state of the world's No. 2 economy, China released July trade figures that showed exports jumped 14.5 percent in July compared with a year earlier. The figure was a surprise for economists, most of who were predicting that the figure would be lower than the 7.2 percent growth recorded in June. China's vast manufacturing industry is a key part of the overall economy, which rebounded slightly in the most recent quarter after slowing in the first quarter. July imports, however, showed signs of weakness.
GEOPOLITICS: Investors fretted about the effect of Russia's decision to retaliate against sanctions over the Ukraine crisis with a ban on food imports from the West. Meanwhile, President Barack Obama authorized U.S. airstrikes in northern Iraq, warning they would be launched to defend American troops and civilians under siege from Islamic State militants. Japanese stocks declined as the geopolitical tensions spurred buying in the yen, seen as a safe haven currency. A stronger yen makes Japanese stocks pricier for overseas investors.
THE QUOTE: Russia's food ban is a "negative for world markets," said Ric Spooner, chief analyst at CMC Markets in Sydney. He said the ban would "have the knock on effect of driving down prices in other markets as exporters seek to find new outlets for produce that may otherwise have been sold to Russia."
WALL STREET: U.S. stocks ended lower Thursday, with the Dow Jones industrial average falling 0.5 percent to 16,368.27. The S&P 500 index dropped 0.6 percent to 1,909.57. The Nasdaq composite fell or 0.5 percent to 4,334.97.
ENERGY: Benchmark U.S. crude oil for September delivery added 62 cents to $97.95 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract rose 42 cents to settle at $97.34 on Thursday. Brent crude, which is used to price oil sold internationally, rose $1.18 to $106.63 in London.
CURRENCIES: The euro rose to $1.3364 from $1.3361 in late trading Thursday. The dollar fell to 101.80 yen from 102.11 yen.

CL-Yacc uses the algorithm due to Aho and Ullman, which is the one also used by AT&T Yacc, Berkeley Yacc and Zebu. It does not use the faster algorithm due to DeRemer and Pennello, which is used by Bison and lalr.scm (not to be confused with lalr.cl).

You can't beat a system you can't understand
Over the years, countries have had political differences, settled their arguments one way or another, and have often found enough common ground to become allies.
For instance, we founded this country by winning a war with England, which is now one of our strongest trading partners and political supporters. Well . . . they were until a few months ago. Now, I must admit the relationship is a little iffy. However, I think you get the idea.
I also thought we more or less mended our fences with France and Japan after a few bitter struggles until our crack research team, the 'Googlamaniacs, looked into the matter and brought forth some interesting facts. The following truisms came from hundreds of nanoseconds of intense brainbusting labor. I promise, these are not products of my imaginings.
The French needed to replenish the royal coffers after we beat the snot out of them in a couple of wars over the last couple of centuries, and they decided we should help foot the bill. So, in their sophisticated passive-aggressive style, they introduced us to French wine. Either this was a classic practical joke, or they were still upset about losing the conflicts, and this is their version of payback.
After diplomatic relations were restored, the French entertained American tourists in their upscale restaurants and bistros and introduced them to the finest wines and spirits their country had to offer. Then they started an export business to the good old US of A and charged us exorbitant prices for what they touted as their finest libation. Not so. I assure you the wine tourists drank in France was far superior to that which they exported to this country.
First, they gathered the grapes that didn't meet their standard and ordered peasants to stomp on them with dirty feet. Then they let the fruit rot before adding sulfates, nitrates, and other chemicals I can't spell, as well as sugar and salt. This disgusting liquid was allowed to get old and even staler before it was poured into bottles sealed with cheap corks and decorated with fancy labels. When the labels were loosely translated they meant things like "Red Dog," Sneaky Pete," and "Ripple." Cases of the stuff were shipped over here in vast quantities at prices that would choke a truffle pig.
France built up a market that was so big they couldn't fill the orders, so they sold us cuttings from their allegedly "best" vines and told us to grow our own. While we were cultivating the plants from our French friends, they cut loose some of their private stock and started shipping that across the Atlantic to hold us over until our harvest was ready. That took about ten years. Meanwhile, the price of French wine shot up like a cold war missile. And now, judging from the way they treat tourists, I think their losses from the wars have been recouped several times over. Apparently, they don't need or particularly want our business.
Our conflicts with Japan were handled similarly. With smiles on their faces, much bowing, and ceremony to the max, they took over our car business, make all of our electronics and good cameras, and recently took control of the video game market.
While they developed these businesses, they played the ultimate practical joke. First, they invaded our fishing grounds and depleted our supply. Then they sold it back to us at sky high prices by actually convincing North Americans that it was healthy and sophisticated to eat slimy fish, raw, served with a salty sauce that is a cardiologists dream, and dipped in a mustard hot enough to destroy our sinuses and strip paint. Then they wrapped the stuff in seaweed that we rake off our beaches in disgust, and make us eat it with two little sticks. That, ladies and gentlemen, is marketing at its best.
The aforementioned scenarios force us to ask the question: "Who really lost the wars?" By the way, now this is just a tiny thought that crept into my little brain without much prodding, but have you noticed how the price at the gas pump has, shall we say, escalated? I wonder what it takes to convince our government that the cost of war should not always be measured on the battlefield. I suppose it's just part of that system we can't understand.

PESHAWAR, Pakistan – A Pakistani official says flash floods following torrential rains in the country's northwest this week have killed 29 people.
A spokesman for the disaster management authority in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province said Wednesday that most of the casualties died when their homes collapsed.
Adnan Khan says 75 people were also reported injured in the floods. He says the rains, which started on Monday, damaged about 1,400 homes in the province.
Pakistan suffers every year from flash floods caused by monsoonal rains.
In addition to the flood victims, Khan says three soldiers are missing following an avalanche in the village of Surgulu Binshahia.
Pakistan suffered the worst in 2010, when floodwaters inundated one-fifth of the country, killing over 1,700 people. More than 20 million people were affected at the time.

EVIAN-LES-BAINS, France (AP) – The first day of play at the Evian Championship was washed out Thursday after heavy morning rain soaked the newly-designed course.
Players were on the course for less than one hour before being forced to come off, and organizers decided to restart the round on Friday with Thursday's scores annulled.
"We've had nearly four inches of rain since Saturday and the golf course is extremely saturated at this point," said Heather Daly-Donofrio, the LPGA's senior vice president of tour operations. "It was clear when competitors were out this morning that conditions weren't conducive to a fair and equitable competition. So the plan is to scratch those scores from today and have all players restart the first round tomorrow."
Officials still hope to complete the tournament on time by playing 36 holes on Sunday.
"It's a major championship, and the goal will be to complete 72 holes (on time)," Donofrio said. "So we're going to continue to watch the forecast over the next couple of days."
The weather forecast for Friday and Saturday is for clear skies and, providing there is enough daylight, players can usually keep playing until about 7:30 p.m.
It is not an unprecedented situation, especially this season, with 36 holes played on Sunday at both the LPGA Championship in June and at last month's Women's British Open.
"The one thing you can't control is the weather. Our players are all professionals and they know this," Daly-Donofrio said. "The LET (Ladies European Tour) players were joking in the locker room today that they have had so many tournaments that were delayed or canceled for rain this year."
The tournament, formerly known as the Evian Masters, is making its debut as the fifth major on the calendar. Over the past year, architects have undertaken a multimillion redesign.
"(It) was built under extreme conditions this winter. I've been here under the snow with the workers, I think every time I came in it (was) either rain, snow, sleet," Daly-Donofrio said. "Then we had extremely high temperatures in August … The high temperatures really compacted the soil on the new course and then with the excessive rain we've had this week, the course is not able to absorb all the water."
Top-ranked Inbee Park of South Korea, the defending champion, is looking to become the first professional golfer to win four majors in a year.
After winning the U.S. Women's Open in June for her third consecutive major of 2013, Park's bid for a fourth straight ended at the British Open, when she four-putted for double bogey on the first hole of the final round.
But she is still the overwhelming favorite at Evian, having won six tournaments this year and leading both the U.S. LPGA Tour money list and player of the year race.

Everyone's schedules fluctuate, so training logs are a constant juggling act.
Ten years ago, I was one of a comparative handful of runners who posted their training logs on personal websites. Though not elite, I was close to the Olympic Trials Marathon qualifying standard, and my status as a regular writer for running magazines probably played a role in my exploits earning more attention than those of others at my level.
But more than the times I managed in competition, my unrelenting stretches of 100-, 120-, and even 140-mile weeks drew message-board comments and private e-mails from other mortals, whose typical contribution was along the lines of "How does anyone do that?" combined with "I'm going to try that" — a sketchy combination out of the gate.
I've always advised people not to copy my or anyone's training log. This isn't because I perceived them as lacking the ability to duplicate my or others' schedules (although it bears mentioning that no one can be the arbiter of what another runner's mind and body can tolerate or benefit from). It's mainly because I was keenly aware that no matter how much detail I provided in my faithfully provided rows and columns, the numbers could not possibly tell the whole story or what created them — not even close.
When runners see another athlete's log that's laden with prodigious miles and sparkling with ambitious, quality workouts, they typically assume that such a fine body of work was assembled perfectly and according to plan from beginning to end. In most cases, though, especially when high mileage is at issue, what appears in the log is a far-from-perfect reflection of the athlete's blueprint.
Now that quite a few elite runners share their training logs online, it's imperative to be advised about what these logs conceal as well as what they reveal.

I installed Rvinyl Oak (Royal) in my Kia Soul. I elected to observe the "less is more" approach: no one is going to believe a Kia Soul Base is swathed in burled walnut! The Soul has numerous small details in the HVAC/Speaker towers at either end of the dash, as well as a center HVAC outlet that has small sections that actually look like they might be made of wood in the high end cars. Likewise there are isolated accent panels in the doors that on the Base model are matte black. Limiting why use of the Rvinyl ended up with a very believable accent with limited installation. Very pleased with the results! Make: Kia Model: Soul Base Year: 2016

As I sit in bed wearing three pairs of socks, fleece pajama pants, two jackets, and a hat, I'm debating how I want to start my first blog about volunteering in a kindergarten in Cuzco, Peru. As you can probably tell from what I'm wearing, it's freezing here at night and in the morning, and many buildings do not have heat or air-conditioning. The altitude of Cuzco is close to 11,000 feet, so during the day when the sun is shining I get sunburn, but in the shade I shiver.
Aside from the climate, it's difficult to draw my eyes from the mountains, which form a "Kodak moment" from every direction. Whether in the morning when the sun rises or in the middle of the night when I can only see houselights, I'm constantly distracted by the mountains that surround me. I only hope that I can retain the memory of these views forever, because pictures have simply been inadequate at capturing the beauty of the landscape.
On my way to work in the morning I walk on narrow, ancient Incan streets made of stone. These roads are so narrow that sometimes when a car passes I have to stop walking and put my back against the wall behind me to avoid getting hit by the passing car. I also pass women and children in their traditional colorful dress with braided hair. Many women make a living just by posing in pictures with tourists and then asking for money afterward. I myself fell into this "tourist trap" when adorable little girls holding baby lambs came up to me and asked if I wanted to take a picture. Of course I couldn't resist and quickly said yes; little did I know that I would be expected to pay them for the picture taken on my own camera. With that said, I would have gladly taken the picture knowing that I had to pay a few cents, because I have a hard time passing needy children on the streets.
When I arrive at the kindergarten, called "Kukuli," in the morning, I immediately jump in to help the teacher with anything I can before the rest of the students wander into the classroom. The kindergarten has three classrooms total; one for three-year-olds, another for four-year-olds, and another for five-year-olds. I've spent most of my time in the four-year-old classroom, with 32 students and one teacher. My role in this classroom varies from teaching English, working individually with confused students, handwriting homework assignments in every notebook due to the lack of a photocopier, and performing any task that facilitates smoother classroom functioning.
One of my favorite parts of the day is "recreo" (recess), because I'm simply able to play with kids! On my first day at work, one of the kids came up to me during "recreo" and said "Cuchuchuuuu" and it didn't take long for me to realize what he wanted to do. He anxiously stood behind me and gathered a bunch of friends in a single file line behind him to make a train with me at the front. Before I knew it, the entire kindergarten was prancing behind me in a line saying "Chuchuuuu." They all had huge smiles on their faces, and since then, leading a train has been a regular part of my workday.
Aside from the fun I have with my students, it saddens me that many do not receive the attention they need at home or at school. For example, one of my students has special needs and has a difficult time pronouncing words and coordinating his movements. The reality is that this student's family will probably never be able to afford to provide him the education and help necessary to cope with his disabilities. Additionally, we had a new student come into our classroom today. He was so shy that he was scared to even whisper his name to the teacher. He also seemed very hesitant to participate in any class activity. I spoke with the teacher who informed me that this student has switched schools and is very shy because his old teacher used to hit him; once I knew this information, it was very easy for me to understand his timid personality. However, learning this information actually surprised me, because from what I've seen, the teachers at Kukuli — the school where I work — would never hit a child.
Thus far, volunteering at Kukuli has been a rewarding experience that has allowed me to love, mentor, and teach underprivileged children as well as immerse myself in the culture, language, and educational system of Peru. I look forward to spending many more days with the children and teachers of Kukuli in the scenic mountains of Cuzco.

LONDON (AP) — Two drug-addicted hit men who went to the wrong address and stabbed a teenager to death have been sentenced to a minimum of 40 years in jail.
Judge John Royce said Ben Hope and Jason Richards had shown no remorse for the mistaken murder of 17-year-old Aamir Siddiqi.
Prosecutors said 39-year-old Hope and 38-year-old Richards were paid 1,000 pounds ($1,600) each to kill a man who owed money to a businessman. But the pair killed Siddiqi on his doorstep instead.
Last week a jury at Swansea Crown Court found the pair guilty of Siddiqi's 2010 murder and the attempted murder of his parents.
The judge said Friday that the men had killed a "bright, gentle and courteous boy" who had a future "brimming with promise."

Save Your Sight
Eye Disease and HIV
December 2001/January 2002
A note from TheBody.com: The field of medicine is constantly evolving. As a result, parts of this article may be outdated. Please keep this in mind, and be sure to visit other parts of our site for more recent information!
Recent advances in medical care have made it possible for many people with HIV to live longer, healthier and happier lives.
With increasing and more stable T-cell counts, severe eye problems like cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis are less common. In this article we review some of the more common problems for patients with HIV, beginning with the least serious and ending with the most severe.
Our goal is to re-awaken the community to the need for continued eye care. This may help preserve your sight.
Some Common ProblemsThe first three problems -- dry eye, blepharitis and presbyopia -- are not unique to HIV-positive individuals. They are, however, so common that they should be described.
Dry eyes are the most common problem with HIV patients. The simple condition is rarely serious and can be treated in most cases with artificial tears.
In some patients, dry eyes may increase the risk of a serious eye infection. Sharp pains, intermittent blurred vision (which usually goes away when you blink), and mild irritation are all signs of dry eye. Dry eye symptoms may become worse while using the computer; blink frequently and use extra tears if your eyes become "tired" or irritated.
Blepharitis often goes along with dry eyes and means "inflammation of the eyelids and lashes." Many patients with blepharitis also have mild infection with bacteria, most commonly staph aureus. There may be a discharge and redness of the eye or eyelids. Patients with HIV may get this more often, perhaps due to their weaker immune system, allowing bacteria to grow more easily.
The treatment consists of cleaning your eyelashes using a warm washcloth and a small amount of baby shampoo and warm tap water. The soap should be washed off and a hot compress applied. In some cases, ointments may be needed. See your eye doctor as soon as possible if your vision is blurred, if there is pain or frequent discharge.
Presbyopia is a big word that means a loss of accommodation (difficulty in reading) with aging. This occurs when the lens of the eye becomes less flexible with age and becomes harder to focus up close.
This may begin as early as 35-40 years of age and increases if you are ill or fighting an infection. Reading glasses or bifocals will solve the problem. If you are having trouble reading, ask your doctor if glasses may help.
Retina SensitivityThe most serious eye problem in patients with HIV involves the retina.
The eye is like a camera and the retina is the film of the camera lying inside and against the back of the eye. Without the film you cannot see.
CMV infects the retina and is the most common infection and cause of visual problems in patients with AIDS. Most patients that get CMV have T-cell counts below 100.
All patients with HIV should be screened for CMV. The lower your T-cell count the more often you should be seen. If your T-cell count has been low and has been raised, you still need to be followed carefully. If you have floaters, flashing lights or your vision becomes blurry or lose peripheral vision, you should consult your eye doctor right away.
While CMV has become less common than a few years ago, it may be on the rise.
Ganciclovir (GCV) is the most common medicine used to treat CMV retinitis. The Ganciclovir implant is the most common way the drug is delivered to the back of the eye. Placing the Ganciclovir implant, unfortunately, involves a small painless operation. More recently, a long acting pro-drug of Ganciclovir was developed.
We are proud that we helped do the clinical research for Valganciclovir. This new drug allows patients to take a few pills a day instead of having surgery or an intravenous medication. The drug also treats both eyes and the entire body at the same time. The determination of which treatment is better depends on your ocular and clinical condition and your overall health, including your kidney function and anemia. The decision of which is the best method of treatment for you will be based on your eye doctor and your infectious disease or HIV specialists discussing your specific condition.
BlindnessOther infections can also lead to blindness. Toxoplasmosis, cryptococcus and syphilis have all been seen in patients with HIV.
Syphilis is the second most common infection in patients with HIV. Syphilis can cause almost any eye problem. All HIV-positive patients should be checked for syphilis with a blood test every year. Treatment can save your vision and your life.
Another serious infection is called Progressive Outer Retinal Necrosis, or PORN. PORN is a retinal infection that can quickly destroy the retina (the film of the camera). PORN is caused by a herpes virus, either simplex or zoster. Since it can move quickly, any significant blurring of vision or loss of peripheral or central vision should be reported immediately.
Many of the above infections at the back of the eye can lead to a retinal detachment. If you see floaters, flashing lights or lose some of your sight or peripheral vision, call your eye doctor right away. With surgery, we can anatomically reattach your retina between 90 and 95 percent of the time.
While HAART and other immune recovery therapy have improved the health of our patients, new conditions have developed. The revved-up immune system can react against the HIV infection and cause inflammation in the eye called "immune recovery uveitis." This inflammation may be mild or severe and can cause loss of sight. Fortunately, this condition is very treatable with anti-inflammatory eye drops or medication placed around the eye.
You should check your own vision, one eye at a time, every day. The chart above is an excellent way to check your central vision. You should also check your peripheral vision.
If you see a change, let your eye doctor know right away. The earlier you are seen, the better chance you have to improve or stabilize your vision.

N.C. State Goes With GottfriedPosted by jstevrtc on April 5th, 2011
The coaching carousel is really gaining momentum now that the season has ended, and Mark Gottfried has decided to turn in his ESPN mic-plates for North Carolina State colors.
Ending a long and frustrating coaching search, the Wolfpack announced the hiring of Gottfried within the last hour. Gottfried's last gig was at Alabama, where he coached for ten seasons and part of an eleventh (1998-2009). He posted a 210-132 (0.614) overall record and an 84-83 record in SEC play as leader of the Crimson Tide, taking his team to the NCAA Tournament for five straight seasons from 2001-02 to 2005-06. His 2003-04 team made the Elite Eight before losing to the eventual champion Connecticut Huskies. Gottfried left in January of the 2009 season after star guard Ronald Steele decided to jump ship, and hasn't coached since.
Before his time at Alabama, he coached three seasons at Murray State from 1995 to 1998, taking the OVC crown all three years, and making NCAA Tournaments in his last two seasons there. He was 68-24 (40-12) at MSU. Gottfried also won a national championship in 1995 in his last of seven seasons at UCLA as an assistant under Jim Harrick.
The initial reaction to this hire appears to be to compare it to St. John's' taking on Steve Lavin last year, since, like Lavin before him, Gottfried most recently worked as a color commentator and studio analyst as part of ESPN's college basketball coverage. To us, though, the hiring of Gottfried in Raleigh is more a product of how many coaches at smaller programs — for example, guys like VCU's Shaka Smart and Wichita State's Gregg Marshall, two targets of the NC State search — are choosing to live by the Valvano Doctrine of "don't mess with happiness" and stay at programs at which they're already successful, as well as hoping that they can mimic Brad Stevens' recent successes at Butler. With what Stevens and his Bulldogs have achieved in the last two years, if you're a coach at a mid-major program, it makes staying at your smaller school a lot more attractive of an option than, say, the prospect of going up against Roy Williams and Mike Krzyzewski at least four times a year on the court and fighting them for local stud recruits off of it. What also can't be ignored is the reluctance that some coaches may have had to work with NC State athletic director Debbie Yow, whose stormy relationship at Maryland with coach Gary Williams was well-publicized.

Dear Editor:
I would like to take a moment to thank a special group of people, the Hoboken Sanitation/Streets and Roads Department, who are always there for the city before, during and after any major or minor event. Storms, hurricanes, art and music festivals, snow storms, Fourth of July events or whatever, they are always there.
Long after the lights go down, cameras are gone, and into the wee hours of the morning, when everybody's home sleeping, they are still out there, making sure our city is ready for the next day. They make sure our roads our open so buses can run and emergency vehicles can get through. It's not magic; it's them throughout the night.
When the police, fire, emergency management or ambulance crews need something, they call us and we are always there to help. Do you have any idea how much garbage 100,000 people leave behind?
You guys are the unsung heroes of our city and I am very proud to be a part of it.
We will be there again today, tomorrow, or whenever.
James Davis
Supervisor, Dept. of Environmental Services

The Case for Black With a Capital Bmore
Roxbury Discovered
Called "The Bury" by natives, Roxbury is located at the geographical center of the city of Boston. Founded as a town in 1630 by English religious dissidents, it was annexed to Boston in 1868. Over three-hundred and fifty years later, the neighborhood is 57,000 strong and "The heart of Boston's black community," since black people represent the biggest racial group there.
Derek Lumpkins, a lifelong resident of Roxbury, says "Home is where the heart is," as he climbs the steps that lead to the tower on the hill upon which one of the actual scenes from the Siege of Boston took place during the Revolutionary War.
At the top of the hill, he stands in front of the 180-foot tower and begins to point the way along the panoramic view of what used to be Roxbury. Pointing at the towers of the Prudential Center to the north and at the steeple points of Hyde Square to the far west, he says, "These two points were within the boundaries of Roxbury way back when it included Jamaica Plain, part of the Back Bay, and West Roxbury too."
Derek says that he is one of the few amongst his friends that wake up happy to go to work in the mornings. As the manager of programs for Discover Roxbury, he designs and leads tours of Roxbury's historic and cultural attractions, while at the same time rediscovering Roxbury for himself along the way.
Founded in 2000 by Marcia Butman, a former educator and native of Lexington, the goal of the program then was to dismantle racial stereotypes of Boston's communities of color by leading suburban students on tours of Roxbury's illustrious past and present led by their METCO classmates. Today Discover Roxbury conducts nearly twenty tours per year that are open to the public, with each one focusing on a particular aspect of the neighborhood.
For example, State Representative Byron Rushing
, leads a "Revolutionary Roxbury" tour that chronicles the neighborhood's architectural history, highlighting its importance as a colonial community in the heart of action during the Siege of Boston. This tour by trolley makes stops at the First Church of Roxbury, Fort Hill, the Dillaway Thomas House, Eliot Burial Ground, and the Shirley Eustis House.
There is even a Roxbury Women's History Tour of the homes of the late mothers of today's Roxbury – these women led a series of initiatives in the community that are still active there today. Dr. Susan Dimock's work in the community in the 19th century is remembered in the name of the Dimock Community Health Center; Melnea Cass, whose relentless fight against racial discrimination is memorialized with the naming of a major neighborhood boulevard in her name; Muriel Snowden, co-founder of the non-profit Freedom House, has a Boston Public School named after her; Elma Lewis, an arts educator and activist, left the legacy of the Museum of the National Center of Afro-American Artists and will have her vision of a major arts institution that focuses on the art of the African Diaspora manifested in the Elma Lewis Partner's developed Ruggles Place due in 2011; and Ella Little Collins whose Dale Street home hosted her brother, Malcolm X, when he was a teenager.
As part of his job, Derek leads the Roxbury Bike Ride, another tour by Discover Roxbury. Free and open to the public, the bike ride tour is designed for all levels of bikers, with the single requirement being that a helmet be worn. Beginning at Roxbury Heritage State Park, Derek pedals the way through historic Roxbury, into Franklin Park, crossing bridges made of stone, and the remains of places where Duke Ellington once performed, and where the poet Ralph Waldo Emerson lived, and into Forest Hills Cemetery, which was originally founded in 1848 by Henry A. S. Dearborn, the second Mayor of Roxbury.

Mark Twain sent a cable from London to the United States in 1897 calling reports of his death an exaggeration.
Similar reports have been rumored of late about the West's largest cooperative cotton marketer, Calcot, but the board of directors of the 1,500-member marketing cooperative dispelled those murmurings with almost $28 million in final settlement checks for California and Arizona members for their 2002-03 cotton crops.
The new president of the Bakersfield, Calif.-based cooperative, Robert W. Norris, said that final settlement "speaks for itself as to our ability and financial health and should go a long way to ending the talk about our stability."
Calcot marketed just over 1 million bales of cotton last season on sales of almost $470 million. Bale sales represented about 40 percent of the Western crop.
Norris, speaking at the first of three of the cooperative's 76th annual meetings in Visalia, Calif., acknowledged that the cooperative has struggled in recent years and the board firing of David Farley in June as Calcot president after only eight months on the job "led to numerous rumors as to Calcot's ability and financial health."
The final settlement checks answered Calcot's critics and competitors. However, Norris acknowledged that "timing was everything" in a healthy final settlement as the cooperative was able to capitalize on high Step 2 payments in late summer, a "critical factor" in final grower checks.
When Farley was fired, Norris was name interim president and in August he earned the title of permanent chief executive office.
Won't get easier
"We have come through some tough times," said Norris. However, it will not get any smoother for Calcot and other U.S. cotton marketers in an increasingly competitive world marketplace.
"I am not deluding myself as to the difficulties we face, and I am not going to…make wild promises I cannot keep," said Norris, an obvious reference to his predecessor who wildly predicted among other things that San Joaquin Valley almond growers would pull out orchards to plant more lucrative cotton. Almonds are now one of the valley's most profitable crops.
Calcot's efforts to improve grower returns is a bit easier these days as cotton prices continue their slow, two-year advance from a low of less than 30 cents per pound. There has been a sharp price upturn in recent weeks as world supplies tighten due to world record consumption of a record 98 million bales last season and production reaching only 88 million bales because of record low prices.
U.S. exports rose to a record 11.9 million bales last season. Unfortunately, the domestic textile industry has been all but destroyed by textile imports.
The future of the U.S. cotton industry will continue to rest in the export market, where Calcot has been a strong influence for decades. Eighty-five to 90 percent of Western cotton is now exported.
For this season, Norris said USDA is projecting a sharp world production increase (93 million bales) along with another record consumption year of 99 million bales. However, Norris does not believe production is growing as evidenced by USDA cutting its estimate monthly for the past four months.
Norris calls the 16.9-million-bale USDA 2003 U.S. crop estimate "probably pretty close. Crop losses in some areas have been offset by increases in others.
"California could be the wild card. While our crop has made up a lot of ground, we really won't know what we've got until we get further into harvest," he said. Defoliation is just beginning in many areas. The same uncertainty hangs over the Arizona crop.
USDA's latest 2003-04 forecast puts exports at 12 million bales, representing two-thirds of the U.S. crop. It would be the largest export total ever. That may be difficult to achieve with recent jumps in prices sending "sticker shock" through textile mills. However, Norris is optimistic sales will pick up in the months ahead.
On the flip side, domestic mill consumption is projected to be the lowest in 20 years, 6.6 million bales, a precipitous drop from the 11.3 million bales just five years ago. And, Norris considers the USDA 2003 estimate optimistic.
If USDA is right on exports, it will be the third straight year total off take has topped 18 million bales.
"With this scenario, U.S. ending stocks will be 3.8 million bales, the lowest in six years," added the new Calcot president.
Bottom line is Norris believes tight stocks equate to better prices.
However, there are no guarantees and the situation can change "in a big hurry. The world economy is soft, though improving. Cotton stocks are tight, but polyester production exceeds demand and prices for man-made fibers are very competitive."

A massive spill at a Chivas plant has sent the smell of spirits flowing through a Scottish sewer and sorrow coursing through the hearts of Scotch whisky fans.
Chivas Brothers Ltd. spokeswoman Jennifer Stevenson says the group is investigating what she described as an "accidental loss" of spirit at the company's bottling plant in Dumbarton, Scotland on Feb. 26.
She declined to estimate how much of the bulk whisky had been lost, saying only that it was less than the 18,000 liters (4,755 gallons) mentioned in media reports.
Bulk whisky can be used in various ways, and it wasn't immediately clear which Chivas brand the liquid was meant to fill.
Stevenson said Friday she did not want to comment on the spill's circumstances until the company had completed its investigation.

De tweede bètarelease van versie 12.0 van XBMC Media Center is uitgebracht. Deze crossplatform-mediacentersoftware wordt ontwikkeld voor Windows, OS X, Linux, iOS, AppleTV2, de Raspberry Pi en vanaf deze bèta ook voor Android. De port voor de originele Xbox wordt niet meer door dit team onderhouden. Versie 12.0, die codenaam Frodo heeft meegekregen, bevat een groot aantal veranderingen. Zo is er ondersteuning voor hd-audio, kan er tv gekeken en opgenomen worden en is er nu ook een 64bit-build voor OS X. Hieronder zijn de release notes voor bèta 2 te vinden.
XBMC 12 Frodo - Beta 2 Now with Android!
We are excited to announce Beta 2 of XBMC 12 today, as it brings with it many fixes and one long awaited major update. As you know, XBMC currently supports OSX, Linux, Windows, iOS, and the ARM-based Raspberry Pi. That's a great list, but anyone paying attention could tell you that a massive, critical platform is still missing. Well, Scott Davilla and Cory Fields (theuni) have been working tirelessly to bring one more platform to the fold. And we're all excited to say that we are finally ready to release the very first beta of XBMC for Android.
To run this beta, you will need a fairly modern Android phone, tablet, or other device. We have determined that any Android device that doesn't include the NEON extension is simply going to run too slowly to be useable. If you are uncertain whether your device is supported, feel free to visit the XBMC for Android compatibility list.
Alternatively, you can simply install the XBMC for Android apk. If your device is not supported, XBMC will post a warning when you try to launch the app and exit out. If it is, and it isn't included on the compatibility list, feel free to add it.
One Android issue worth mentioning: at present XBMC is likely to load fairly slowly on the first run as it unpacks itself. This is expected behavior. After first run, it should load quite a bit faster.
Update 2: Users should be aware that an update to Android 4.2 appears to have temporarily broken XBMC support for all you Nexus and Cyanogenmod users (and anyone else running 4.2). Beta3 should be right around the corner, and we hope to have a fix in place by the time that rolls out.
Controller Support
Without a doubt, one of the most popular controllers for PC at present is the Xbox 360 Controller. It is invariably the most supported controller for all AAA title Windows games (along with numerous games being ported for Steam for Linux), so it was undoubtedly time for the controller to become fully plug and play compatible with XBMC. Thanks to the work of Shiretoko212, rowan.border, and all those who contributed in this thread, the previously outdated 360 keymap has been updated and dramatically improved so that now almost any 360 controller, regardless of version, should be immediately recognized by XBMC assuming a driver is in place. For those interested in using their 360 controller to control XBMC, check out this 360 button map to show what all the buttons do in XBMC.
Audio Fixes
Easily the number one reported issue with Beta1 was a lack of sound in Windows. This issue was relatively simply resolved by switching from WASAPI to DirectSound as the default output. Users who prefer WASAPI can still easily switch back in System->Audio Output.
Other Fixes
Needless to say, there were numerous other fixes, including fixes to nodes and smartplaylists, the volume range of Airtunes in Windows, a speedup of EPG data importing, solving a minor files issue, and others. To see all the changes, feel free to refer to the Beta2 Git Changelog. Additionally, there are several other issues still being worked on, and more will likely crop up during Beta testing. If you would like to report an issue, please search for the issue in our forums first and report any verified bugs in Trac.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Former Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf says he will follow through with his plans to return to his homeland despite risks of arrest and other threats.
Musharraf, who has been living in self-exile in London and Dubai, faces possible arrest in Pakistan in connection with the killing of an ex-prime minister.
But Musharraf told journalists Saturday in Dubai that he will return to take part in May elections despite the "fear of the unknown," including possible death threats.
He plans to travel Sunday to Karachi. Journalists and supporters of Musharraf's All Pakistan Muslim League are expected to accompany him.
Musharraf took power in a 1999 coup. He faces charges of conspiring to assassinate ex-premier Benazir Bhutto, who was killed in 2007.
Musharraf has called the charges baseless.
