Policy on Non-Retaliation Against Small Businesses
As part of its mission to create a fair, less burdensome regulatory enforcement environment for small business government wide, the Office of the National Ombudsman is working with each federal agency to establish a policy prohibiting retaliatory actions by its employees against regulated entities.
This Notice states SBA's policy prohibiting retaliatory action by SBA employees against any small business. If a small business requests Ombudsman assistance or otherwise questions or complains about SBA regulatory or enforcement actions, requirements, or policies, the agency will not retaliate.
The SBA has important responsibilities to small businesses in carrying out its mission to protect, promote, and enhance the role of small business in the Nation's economy and is committed to maintaining an environment in which small businesses are free to challenge SBA regulatory or enforcement actions, requirements, and policies without fear of retaliation.
The SBA takes allegations of retaliation very seriously and will thoroughly investigate any allegation of retaliation and take appropriate corrective action. The SBA supports the policy of referring all allegations of threats or retaliation against small businesses to the Inspector General and/or to the appropriate Management Board Member. Any retaliatory action taken by an SBA employee against a small business will be dealt with according to SBA policy and regulations, including 13 CFR Sections 105.206 and 208. The contents of this Notice will be made available to the public on the Web site of the Office of the National Ombudsman.

Teresa Palmer — Celeb Crush
You can see Teresa Palmer's hot body currently in theaters in the zombie romance flick 'Warm Bodies.' And while the ladies may be obsessing over her co-star in that movie, 'X-Men: First Class' star Nicholas Hoult, we're here to tell you that Teresa is the reason we're heading out to the theater this weekend.
The sexy 26-year-old Australian actress has appeared in a number of popular films over the past few years, like 'I Am Number Four' and 'The Sorcerer's Apprentice.' Her star will no doubt be rising now that 'Warm Bodies' is out, and is racking up decent reviews as well as good box office numbers.
We're excited for her next project, the Terrence Malick film 'Knight of Cups.'

Randy Travis Avoids Jail, Reaches Plea Deal in Assault Case
Randy Travis won't be spending any time behind bars, as long as he can adhere to the terms of his plea deal entered in regards to his misdemeanor assault case.
E! Online reports that the 'Three Wooden Crosses' singer will receive a 90-day deferred sentence as a direct result of a plea of either guilty or no contest. If Travis avoids any additional legal issues and complies to the terms of his probation during the three months, he will avoid a formal conviction and the case could be dismissed.
Travis was cited for assault last year following an Aug. 23 altercation with his fiancee's estranged husband, Ritchie Beougher. The country superstar originally pleaded not guilty -- even filing a civil suit claiming that Beougher provoked him in an effort to cause physical harm and embarrassment toward Travis.
Travis' plea deal is not a quick fix to his legal troubles. Earlier this month, the singer was officially charged with DWI. New toxicology reports stemming from his 2011 arrest showed Travis' blood alcohol content level was higher than 0.15, which would makes the charge a Class A misdemeanor. If convicted, Travis could find himself in jail for as long as two years and be fined up to $4,000.
According to his lawyer, Larry Friedman, Travis' team is working to present a plea deal in the DWI case, as well. Friedman adds that he "expects a trouble free 2013 devoted to his very supportive fans and friends."
As a means of starting with a clean slate, Travis has quit drinking.

A recent exhibition in Minneapolis investigates the inherent desire to organize and structure our world, and the ensuing clutter and confusion when we become increasingly influenced by the sprawling technologies we've invented to helps us. Eddie Perrote, Leanna Perry and Bill Rebholz conceived Scategories as a display to highlight ordered chaos. "We've enabled our minds to perceive more information, decrease our mental clutter and externalize our memories," reads the press release, which explains why the exhibition feels a bit overrun, offering too much to process, even when the looking is enjoyable.
Each of the artists has one foot firmly planted in the design world, which is perhaps the ideal middle ground to view the changing landscapes of art and design, and how technology is rapidly altering them. The group explains, "Through organizing the brain we present windows into the cerebral wold of structure, chaos, habitual patterns, and seemingly infinite layers of content. It's these informalities that create vivacious energy, and eccentricities that feed the visual cacophony of information ever gathering within our minds."
The exhibition itself is presented with this visual cacophony in mind. Colorful, typography-inspired murals covering several walls, while the remaining white-walls are densely covered with 2 and 3-dimensional works. Recurring motifs, such as simplistic cloud shapes, puzzle pieces, mirrors and stairs connect their works; an unplanned phenomenon, which was not surprising considering their shared influences and interests, claims the group. Perrote, Perry and Rebholz even shared a specific color palette for the show, using the same magenta, teal, and yellow paints, both for visual cohesion and "to highlight the gap between colors that exist in reality and the RGB colorspace of computer screens" says Perrote.
At the heart of the exhibition is a paradox, highlighted by the significant gesture that each painting, drawing and screenprint was made by hand. Even in a time when we can create, share and store an unlimited amount of data, the information must still be processed slowly, through our hands, eyes and minds in order to be appreciated, an appreciation which is key to good design.
Scategories is currently on view at The Abstracted Gallery in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The closing reception will be Friday, April 11th, 2014, from 7 to 10 pm.

Chris Noth gets taste of politics on "The Good Wife"
Chris Noth is running for office - not the actor himself, but as his "The Good Wife" character, Peter Florrick.
Florrick is running for governor of Illinois on the CBS drama, and Noth says viewers shouldn't expect to see a problem-free campaign.
"They'll see on my part an election that's going to be a lot of ups and downs, kind of like the one that's going on right now," he told CBSNews.com last week. "Politics has a lot of dirty fighting going on in it, which makes it interesting. So there will be a lot of that."
"I think we've started off at such a great place," he added. "I feel like it could be our first season. It just feels fresh and new and the people in it are excited and everyone's working very hard."
He also had high praise for co-star Julianna Margulies, who plays his wife, Alicia Florrick, and the rest of the show's ensemble cast.
"She's just the best," he said of Margulies. "I think that's best ensemble cast I've ever been in... This is hard work, long hours but I'm working with extraordinarily talented people that raise the bar, the work ethic is great. Jules is just a wonderful actress and a really dedicated woman, so it's great."
Their characters have seemed to be getting closer again in recent episodes, but Noth isn't sure they'll ever be completely happy.
"I'm not sure that couple can ever find total contentment," he said.
When asked if Florrick - who faced scandal when the show began, but has since become more sympathetic - is a good guy, Noth referred to his character's profession as an explanation.
"He's like a lot of politicians. They have to go through hell in order to come back again. Hopefully they've learned their lesson. But we're talking about TV and entertainment, so who knows?" he said, adding "I think he's a complicated guy. There might be a percentage of good in that, but no one's just a good guy... You can't be a politician and just be a good guy."
When he's not playing a politician, Noth is doing some good of his own. The actor has teamed up with BV Wines to be a spokesman for their "Give & Give Back" campaign, aimed at fighting hunger in America.
"I had no idea that you've got 16 million hungry kids in the United States these days, that one in six people in America are hungry. And having a child myself, it sort of hit home," he said.
"With so much going on in the news about what faces us, we lose track of a very fundamental problem, that we think because we're such an affluent country that we don't have to worry about it...It's not just in rural [areas] - it's in our richest cities," he added. "You just don't see the face of it. So it needs to get out there, and we need to acknowledge the people who are doing something about it."
Along with working on "The Good Wife," Noth has two film roles coming up. The first is as an "ex-TV actor, drug addicted, crazed" character in "3, 2, 1...Frankie Go Boom," which comes out in theaters Friday, and another in the porn-star biopic "Lovelace" alongside Amanda Seyfried and Peter Sarsgaard.
He also stars as J.P Morgan in the Encore miniseries "Titanic: Blood and Steel," about the making of the doomed ship. The miniseries finishes up Saturday, and will air as a marathon on Sunday.
"It's a fascinating miniseries because it doesn't focus on the tragedy," he said. "It focuses on the aspirations and dreams of building what was 100 years ago the most incredible thing going."
As for whether or not he'd play ever play Mr. Big again, Noth seemed skeptical.
"Doubtful," he said when asked if there'd be a third "Sex and the City" film. "I think we're done with it. I think we've done it. You never say never, but I don't know what it would be. "I think everyone's moved on though. We all have families. We've all moved on from that."
But with "The Good Wife" is now in its fourth season, Noth says people recognize him more often now as Peter Florrick than from his role on "Sex and the City" - which is fine by him.
"Mr. Big is always gonna be part of the lexicon, whatever that is," he said, adding, "What I get from Peter Florrick is not 'Peter Florrick,' but, 'That show! I love that show! I love you in that show.' Which makes me happy. It's not just the idea of, 'I have a Mr. Big in my life' or that kind of thing. Saying, 'I love the whole show and you're a part in it,' that pleases me a lot more."

Did you receive this other reply to your first email?: Karen, I cannot
think of a way other than arrows to visually represent forces. The length
of the arrow gives a visual of the magnitude of the force. Perhaps if the
forces were labeled with words in parenthesis on top of the arrows? Or
maybe if the measured amount (Newtons) of each force were labeled for each
I think the most important aspect of understanding this notion of balanced
and unbalanced forces lies in the actual experience with the ball and the
See if these words makes sense, draw pictures to help yourself.:
When the ball sits on the horizontal track, the forces are balanced. That
is, the weight of the ball (pull gravity x mass of ball) is equal to the
force of the track holding up the ball. The forces are both perpendicular
to the track and acting in concert on the center of mass of the ball as
When the ball sits still on the horizontal track the NET FORCE is 0
(zero); because the pulling down force of gravity (on the ball) is exactly
equal to the pushing up force of the track (on the ball). Also, there are
no forces acting side to side on the ball at this point. NET force is the
force "leftover" if you combine all of the directional forces.
When the track tilts the pushing up force of the track no longer pushes
perpendicular to the track, no longer exactly opposite to the pulling down
force of gravity. The shift in angle of the center of mass combined with
the consistent pull of gravity causes a shift in energy from the pushing up
force of the track to the pulling force of gravity, or in effect - the ball.
Note the significance of "center of mass" as pointed out in the workshop.
Here's what I wrote (drew) in my notes:
(1) In this situation, balanced forces meant zero net force and a still
Things change when the track is tilted:
(2) Forces on the (center of [mass] of the) ball are no longer balanced.
(3) When the perpendicular line drawn downward from the center of [gravity]
is no longer perpendicular to the track, the forces on the object are
(4) Keep in mind the thought of "center of mass". The forces are acting on
the center of mass.
(5) Tilting the track in effect lessens the pushing up force the track has
on the ball; however, the pulling down force of gravity stays the same.
(6) Forces don't just disappear: In effect, the pushing up force lost by
the track is gained by the pulling down force of gravity, gravity "wins" and
the ball rolls down.
The "reason" there is more net force on the ball than on the track once the
track is tilted is the ball's center of mass has been thrown off balance and
gravity is pulling down on the ball harder than the track is pushing up.
The principles of potential and kinetic energy and inertia are in play here
as well.
Can you better explain the unbalanced forces again with respect to moving
objects? I know they can be balanced (even though my misconception logic
says otherwise) but I am still not sure I understand HOW or WHY.
The simplest explanation I can give is: An object moves BECAUSE an
imbalance of forces has occured. And, only an imbalance of forces can alter
the movement of an object in motion or at rest.
I also made an observation: At least via the video coverage available, both
the cameraperson and the teachers have spent more time (except in the 6th
workshop classroom) with the all-boy groups, as well as allowing more boys
to speak during the class discussions. As a psychologist I actually do not
find this surprising, just continually interesting, given the research in
this area. I wonder of anyone else noticed this?
Actually, I thought I noticed some interesting gender bias issues as well -
and wondered if I had done the same in my classroom! It seemed the 6th
workshop classroom had more heterogeneously grouped "groups", which would
make it difficult to focus on boy groups. I've noticed more boys getting
called on, and more boys' ideas/suggestions being pursued than girls. I am
also taking another ACPB workshop called "The Next Move", and have noticed
similar concerns in those videoes. I have witnessed serious bias/favoritism
incidents in my teaching experience, and do not see these as such. My
perception is that the female teachers in these workshop series have no idea
they're favoring the boys slightly; however, I do wonder if the little girls
are conciously aware of it.

It is known that lots of films have already been shot in the photogenic setting of the Grandhotel Pupp. However, this time the hotel is playing the main part.
The Bavarian TV Company (Das Bayerische Fernsehen) shot a documentary about the Grandhotel Pupp in August last year to make it a part of its series Hotel Stories. The director of the project is Eva Severini and the cameraman is Erich Hammerl. You will get acquainted not only with the hotel – its history, present and its plans for the future - but, first of all, with the people who work in the hotel or are connected with it somehow.
The 45-minute long film "Junge Liebe - Das Grandhotel Pupp in Karlsbad" will be shown from 27th March 2011 on TV Bayerisches Fernsehen.

Kristin Davis, the "Manhattan Madam" who provided call girls for Eliot Spitzer, is running for New York City Mayor, according to her website [via Absolute Return's Lawrence Delevingne].
If she becomes the next mayor, Davis, who used to work at a hedge fund, says she will work with the industry.
Davis told Absolute Return in an interview that she wants to work with hedge funds on compliance with SEC rules and finding a level of transparency to boost trust between the markets and the funds.
For the campaign, she's running as a Libertarian and branding herself as the "Libertarian Lady." Her platform focuses on ending restrictions on soft drink sizes, gambling and marijuana, AR points out.
Now check out her bio from her campaign website here:
Kristin Davis, Libertarian, Entrepreneur, businesswoman, former Hedge Fund VP, also former Manhattan Madam who supplied disgraced Governor Eliot Spitzer with escorts. In 2008, she was convicted of 1 count of promoting prostitution in the 3 rd degree and served 4 months in Rikers Island, also forfeiting all of her assets.
"No one values freedom as much as someone who has lost it. In prison I read Milton Freedman, Rand, Von Mises, Goldwater and de Tocqueville. I became a deep believer in personal and economic freedom." Said Davis.
Davis ran for Governor of NY 2010 as a protest candidate on a Libertarian platform. She is a critic of Sexism in our Criminal Justice System and strong advocate of Marriage Equality and legalization and taxation of Marijuana, now running non-profit-HOPE HOUSE to combat sex trafficking and help women who are forced to a life of prostitution against their will. www.westoptrafficking.com
Kristin Davis is a member of the NY Libertarian Party and is a strong supporter of Former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson and his campaign for President
We imagine she has some stiff competition.

Product Summary:
Tough-1 Zebra Mesh Fly Sheet
The zebra patterns have been shown in recent studies that horseflies and common flies are not attracted to this pattern. The flying pests are confused by the way that the light reflects off the black and not off the white. The lightweight poly/nylon mesh allows natural air circulation over the horse which helps to keep the flies and insects away.
· Lightweight poly/nylon mesh
· Double buckle front
· Adjustable surcingle belly and leg straps
· Measuring Instructions - Stand your horse as square as possible, measure from the center of chest around side of the body to the point of the horse's rump just before the tail. If you horse ends up measuring between sizes always round up to the next size to ensure full coverage.
· Washing Instructions - Machine wash with cold water – Gentle cycle with mild detergent. Air Dry or Machine Dry/No Heat
· Horses Turned Outside without Shelter - Turnout Sheet and Blanket materials are waterproof and designed to keep your horse dry, however if your horse is turned out in a field without a run in shed or shelter during prolonged rain or heavy downpours your horse may still get wet especially in the neck and tail areas.
· When using a blanket or a sheet on your horse it is critical to monitor the fluctuating climate and temperatures even with a blanket that is waterproof and breathable. The wicking properties of a breathable blanket are designed to wick away normal body heat, when a blanket is too heavy the heat and moisture cannot be wicked away fast enough causing your horse to sweat. The temperature and the length of your horse's coat will determine what weight of blanket you should use. For this reason, most people who choose to blanket horses have several articles of horse clothing that offer varying levels of warmth.

Kesha Hopes to 'Resurrect' Rock and Roll With 2012 Album
Kesha became famous for her AutoTuned party anthems, but the beard enthusiast loves rock 'n' roll — and has a plan to save it.
"I feel like I don't necessarily agree, but people say that rock and roll is dead, and it is my mission and my goal to resurrect it in the form of my pop music," Kesha told MTV News. "That's the goal. We'll see what happens. That's a very ambitious and lofty goal, but that's my goal."
Kesha's Bob Dylan cover may have inspired her to delve further into rock roots — but it doesn't mean she's not proud of the party 'Animal' she's portrayed in the past. "I'm really proud of that, but I have learned over the past three years of doing this that being vulnerable doesn't mean you're weak," Kesha said of her debut. "I very much want to be seen as a strong woman, but I realize that vulnerability can also be a strength. So on my next record, you are going to hear probably a little more of that."
Don't worry, though: Our favorite 'Sleazy' singer is still the fun-loving gal we know and love — and she's still working with Dr. Luke — but she just wants us all to know there's more to her than whiskey and glitter. "I have a lot of growing and evolving to do," she explained. "I'm definitely not a one-trick pony and I think more people are starting to see that more and more." She elaborated, " I'm not going to make an acoustic, sad entire record. But you might hear a little bit more vulnerability on the next record 'cause I have realized just from this Dylan cover coming out that it can be such a strength and a nice balance to humanize the other side of my personality," she said.
"I think that my first record was heavily influenced by 'Licensed to Ill' and the Beastie Boys and that record is, like, very brash and very sassy and very unapologetic and irreverent. And I love that," she added. Also sassy and irreverent is Kesha's first foray into the rock world (that wasn't a leak) — she sang the part of a demon seducing Alice Cooper on his track 'What Baby Wants.'
It looks like Ms. Sebert's new record, along with her animal and gay rights activism, are showing her to be both multidimensional and multi-talented. We can't wait to hear what K-Dollar-Sign-Ha has in store!

Britain's youth is driving a 'radical shift in media consumption' away from TV, radio and newspapers and onto the web, according to industry regulator Ofcom.
Ofcom's Communications Market Report for 2005 shows declining interest in TV among 16-24 year olds, who watched one hour of TV less per day than the average viewer last year.
Fifty eight per cent of the time they did spend watching TV was spent viewing public service broadcasting channels, down from 74% in 2001.
Fifteen to 24 years olds' radio consumption was also 15 minutes per day lower than the wider population; while 27% of those surveyed said they read newspapers less as a consequence of their online usage.
The report said the age group is spurning traditional media in favour of online services , including downloadable content – used on multiple devices such as iPods and mobile phones – and participation in online communities.
More than 70% of 16-24 year old internet users used social networking websites, compared to 41% of all UK internet users, while 37% of 18-24 year olds have contributed to a blog or message board, compared to 14% of all UK internet users.
The same group also uses mobile phones extensively, on average making seven more calls and sending 42 more texts per week than the wider UK population.
Ed Richards, Ofcom's COO, said: "The sector is being transformed by greater competition, falling prices and the erosion of traditional revenues and audiences. A new generation of consumers is emerging for whom online is the lead medium and convergence is instinctive."
The report also said online advertising continued to grow in importance as a mass marketing medium, with online ad revenues increasing eight-fold between 2001 and 2005 (from £0.17 billion to £1.3 billion per year).
Ofcom said online advertising revenue is now almost three times greater than radio advertising revenue (at around £0.5 billion, unchanged since 2001 in real terms) and over one-third that of television advertising revenue (£3.8 billion in 2005, up from £3.5 billion in 2001).

Robert Mintz
Who have been your mentors? Who do you look up to and why?
Elizabeth Glaser. She put a nongay face on the disease, showing the general populace that the disease doesn't pick on any particular group. Ryan White, because of his courage and honesty in speaking out as a child who "just wanted to be like everyone else." Also my father, for his guidance, wisdom and strength of character.
What made you decide to speak out publicly about your HIV status?
Well, to be honest, I decided to speak out publicly about my HIV status because there are too many African Americans dying from this disease. I went public to say "AIDS is alive and well in the community, so stop sticking your head in the dirt."
What do you think is unique about your story?
I'm an African-American male who served in the military as a leader of men and women. I'm speaking out for veterans who have served their country and have been infected with HIV. When the military started testing for HIV, I was the testing coordinator for a unit of 500. There were several people in my company whose test results came back "questionable," including me.
What do you think is unique about the audiences you try to reach when you speak out?
Too many communities are led by fear and ignorance, and this is especially true in African-American communities. There's been a change in recent years, because most ministers blocked us out until around five years ago. Now they're starting to let us come in and talk with the congregation. This is good, because for too long ministers didn't know how to talk with their parishioners about HIV/AIDS and people were mistreated. This is changing. Ministers are getting training, not only to work with people who are infected, but also with people who are affected. HIV-positive people and their families are getting educated and being treated with compassion.
What's the best thing about sharing your story with others?
The best thing about sharing my story with others is just standing up and saying, "I am somebody, and I am not ashamed" and also, "There is life after this diagnosis, and there is hope." And to those who are HIV-negative, telling them, "You don't want to wear these shoes."
What's the worst thing?
The worst thing is that people are not heeding the message, and they are dying needlessly. You just keep trying, and you hope you make a dent in the wall for those who will hear.
What do your relatives feel about you speaking out?
My relatives are 100 percent behind me -- they want to be educated.
I want to say something about my parents. Concerning my sexual orientation, when I came home from Vietnam and decided I had to come out to my father, I was scared of how he'd respond. I took him to a park, because then if he was going to do anything he'd have to do it in public, you know? Before I even opened my mouth, he said, "Son, God gave you to me, and nothing's gonna take you away from me." I told him, "Your son's gay," and he said, "Your point is?"
So when they learned about my diagnosis, they did not say, "I don't know you." They said, "What do you want us to do, besides keep loving you?" They spoke out whenever they heard prejudice against HIV-positive people or gay people.
What does your partner/spouse feel about you speaking out? Has he spoken out in any way as well?
I've been with my spouse, Jim, for 12 years. Jim has a family, and his wife and I are best friends. His sons are my stepsons. He realized his orientation and left home before we met, but when we got serious, I met his family and they were very warm to me. His sons said, "Just don't give Dad that disease," and I promised I wouldn't -- that was unique. But when I got sick, I was overwhelmed by their generosity. They've been a positive in my life.
What have you learned since you began speaking openly about your HIV status -- about yourself? About HIV? About other people either with or without HIV? How has speaking out helped you, and how have you changed as a result?
Speaking out makes me more confident about my life. I would wear a neon sign if I thought it would help, because, really, what can you do to me? Early on, I grew strong through knowledge. I wanted to learn how to live with this disease. Now I try to pass that strength on to others.
Can you describe your feelings when you were first diagnosed? Did you feel differently a few months down the road? How long do you think it takes to really process the diagnosis?
Total fear and shock. As I said before, I was tested through the military testing system, while I was testing coordinator for my unit. People came through in groups, got their blood drawn, and went away. My test was one of the ones that came back questionable. The doctor said, "Your test is positive; you've got four months to live. Gather up your stuff; you're gonna die," while my commander and I just stood there with our mouths wide open. They sent us to Georgia for confirmatory testing, and lots of people had come up positive. There was no compassion from the Army medical staff.
Because of the time frame, people were dying right and left. I figured I was going to die, too, but after four months passed I said, "Well, I'm still here, so I've got to start paying attention."
Any tips for those who are newly diagnosed?
Seek understanding. Seek support from trusted friends and family, and start educating yourself about HIV.
If you want to, can you share how you believe you acquired HIV?
Promiscuous sex! We were having a good time back then! No one used condoms, because VD was the worst that could happen to you, and then you just got your bullet [of penicillin] and 14 to 18 days later you could go back out and play.
What do you believe was your biggest risk factor?
Sex. I did the wild thing, you know, and I got caught.
If HIV were a person, animal or object, what would it be? Why?
A chameleon. It has the ability to move without being seen, if you don't pay attention.
What do you think is the biggest problem facing HIV-positive people today?
Ignorance, mostly on the part of other people. We are still viable and visible people, and we can still contribute to society if allowed to do so. But people hide for their own protection. I've met professional, highly regarded people who are hiding, and that's sad because this virus is just a small part of them. Get real! Let people work!
What is the biggest change you'd like to see in HIV care? How about in HIV education?
I want to see continued education for care providers and more compassion. Providers were not as compassionate in the beginning, and that has changed for the better. Doctors are getting better at talking with people in general, and we, too, have begun to educate ourselves and we have to stay on top of that. We have to work with our care providers and say, "Come back down to earth now. Forget that 26-letter word, and talk with me about pain."
When you look into your crystal ball, what do you see in the future for people living with HIV?
More and better meds with fewer side effects, and maybe even a cure. That's the hope of all who are infected or affected. It may not happen in my lifetime, but it'll happen.
How do you maintain a positive outlook?
Let me say this: I am a faith-based person. God kept me here to do this work. Each time I got through a crisis, I figured, "God got me through that, so I must have something to do here. I better pay attention." I believe God's doing what he needs to do through me, and God doesn't make trash. It's true that we don't always act right, mostly because we're afraid and we want to be in power. But I want to empower! And if everyone gets to outlive me, great!
What has been your overall experience with HIV treatment so far?
Well, I was diagnosed right away as (having) full-blown AIDS in 1986, so I never was just HIV-positive. Right now I've tested resistant to all my meds, but I'm not afraid.
What is your current CD4 count and viral load count? What was your first CD4 count and viral load count?
We didn't have viral load then, but my first CD4 was below 200. Right now, my CD4 is 152, and my viral load is over 99,000. But I've been there before, and I don't have time to be Chicken Little running around yelling, "The sky is falling! The sky is falling!"
What HIV treatments have you been on, if any? Give dates, CD4 counts and viral load counts, and the toughest side effects you've faced on treatment.
Oh, I've been on just about every drug they have -- AZT [zidovudine, Retrovir], ddI [didanosine, Videx], d4T [stavudine, Zerit], Fuzeon [enfuvirtide, T-20], Sustiva [efavirenz, Stocrin], Crixivan [indinavir], everything. I've had PCP pneumonia five times, and now I'm allergic to Bactrim so I have to do pentamidine every 30 days.
The worst side effects I've had are the puking and the diarrhea, and for a while I had to have transfusions every other week for anemia. I've had weight loss. I had side effects from Sustiva, but I kind of liked it! The trick with that is I took it with a sleep medication -- I'd go to bed dizzy, but then I'd just fall asleep. For a lot of people, it works if you just don't take it until you're going to bed.
How often do you see your doctor? How did you choose your care providers?
Right now I see my doctor once a month for the pentamidine, and every three weeks or so to monitor my counts because of the resistance. There's some new drugs coming out soon, Truvada [tenofovir + FTC] and Aptivus [tipranavir] so we're holding off new treatments for now.
You don't get to choose your providers in the Veterans Affairs (VA) system, but it's free. I had the choice of going with the VA and having everything covered 100 percent under my disability, or going to a civilian facility at cost.
What kind of relationship do you have with your care providers?
We're a team. Treatment through the VA has gotten better. I was only the 51st AIDS case to come through the VA, and some of the staff I see now have been there the whole time. I've had to school some people over the years. I was around for the shoving food under the door at the hospital and the staff wearing space suits and all that, so I've seen it. But I've had four doctors now through the VA that have been excellent, and my present infectious disease doctor is wonderful.
Do you have any health/wellness regimen that you feel helps you keep healthier?
I walk. I used to be a drill sergeant, fitness trainer, run 10 to 20 miles a day, climb mountains. That was then, but I'm still active. I still get good exercise.
Any adherence tips for other people on treatment?
Continue being adherent. Educate yourself about resistance, because missing just a dose or two can advance the virus. We have a peer counselor program at Kansas City Free Health Center, where we educate people starting with HIV 101 and going on up. We talk about the chemical makeup of the virus and the medications, check up with clients over the phone and help them eliminate the causes of missed doses. This is a voluntary program, but our participants experience fewer adherence problems.
If you are single, how has your dating experience been since you were diagnosed with HIV?
I've been with my spouse for 12 years, and before that I had another spouse, Steven, who died. I met Jim while Steven was still alive, through dinner with some friends. The next time I met him, he was volunteering with the Good Samaritan Project and came to pick up Steven's clothes after he died.
Any tips for dating that you can share with other people who are positive?
Disclose first -- just get it out of the way. If they decide to get sexual with you, you say, "This is how we're gonna play."
Where did you grow up?
I was raised in Jacksonville, Fla., all through high school and junior college.
What did you want to be when you were a kid?
Oh, I wanted to be a singer! And I was so impressed by my high school English teacher, who spoke six languages and with so much elegance. I had oratory and debate with her as well and was so impressed. She taught all of us a mantra, which was common for teachers of African-American students in the 1960s: "I am somebody, from the top of my head to the bottom of my feet. I will achieve." She told us, "You are above being a dog or a slave, so treat yourself with dignity and respect."
What kind of work do/did your parents do?
My mother was a homemaker. My father was a short-order cook and then eventually a city laborer. They showed me what it was to be a proud family. My father was a man's man, but he was also gentle and taught me to treat women with respect.
What kinds of work have you done?
I'm a 20-year Vietnam veteran; I retired as sergeant first class. I was a drill sergeant for both male and female units. I received lots of education and training through the military.
What do you like to do in your spare time?
I cook. I love cooking; my dad taught me to cook. I do my own sewing -- I'm self-taught and I do all my own sewing now. I also volunteer as a co-facilitator for the L.I.F.E. Program, which is a satellite of the Shanti Project in California, and I'm a member of the Spirit of Hope Metropolitan Community Church. When I can, I like to travel -- I've been to Holland, Rome, Russia and many other places.
Do you have children?
Jim's sons are my stepsons. Pete is 30 now, and Ted is 28.
Do you have pets?
We have three cats that we got from the rescue about four years ago. Snowball is the dainty one, Pretty Boy is the floppy one who lets you pick him up and Lady Sadie is kind of sometimey with her affections.
Where do you live? Describe your community.
We live in a retirement community. The community itself is very quiet, but it's off a busy street with a strip mall nearby.
If you could live anyplace besides where you live right now, where would you live?
I'd live in Germany. I've had friends there for over 30 years, who I'm visiting this summer.
What's the biggest adventure you've ever had?
When I went mountain climbing in New England.
What are you currently reading? What book or author, if any, has had the biggest impact on you?
One book that's meaningful to me is a daily devotional and self-empowerment book by Iyanla Vanzant.
What kind of music do you like? Which artists do you listen to the most, and who has had the biggest impact on you?
I like old black gospel, some modern gospel and jazz. I came up in the 40s and 50s, and the music of our forefathers spoke to me, all the language of our travels. People didn't write their stories down, so there's a lot of storytelling in the music. And Jim loves classical music! He's a classical music geek!
Anything else you'd like the people reading this article to know about you?
Everything good that has happened, God has made it so. In my life, it seems like everything has been on the positive.
Interview by Laura Jones
About Robert Mintz
Home: Kansas City, Mo.
Diagnosed: mid-1980s
As a drill sergeant for both male and female units during his military career, Vietnam veteran Robert Mintz chose to inspire his charges through example rather than intimidation. When he was diagnosed with AIDS in the mid-1980s, he once again chose to inspire people through example by sharing his status openly and becoming an advocate for others living with HIV. Now retired from the military and deeply disturbed by the explosion of HIV among African Americans, Robert works to "put a face on this disease, and show that I not only can survive but also live happily and well." Robert volunteers as a peer counselor through both the Kansas City Free Health Clinic and the Kansas City Veteran Affairs Medical Center. The staffs of these agencies consider him a godsend, especially for other veterans who are struggling to accept a diagnosis of HIV or AIDS. Robert also serves as a lay pastor for his church and has a special interest in working with clergy to increase their capacity for serving the needs of parishioners impacted by HIV.

Before looking at the amazing things they do for us we should reflect on just how many of them we house.
There are several thousand billion in each of us (more than all the cells in your body!) divided into over 400 species, most of them living in your digestive tract.
If they were all placed together the total weight of the of friendly bacteria would come to nearly four pounds weight and in fact about a third of the faecal matter (water removed) which you pass consists of dead or viable bacteria.1
What Do They Do?
These bacteria are not parasites. They do not just take up residence and do nothing in return...indeed they pay their way handsomely. We live in true symbiosis with them.
As long as you are providing them with a reasonable diet (and the foods that are good for you are the ones that are good for them) and as long as they remain in good health they provide excellent service in return.
However not all of the friendly bacteria do the same things, some being far more useful and plentiful than others and it is on these that we will concentrate.
Among the most important of their proven roles are some functions which help maintain our good health while others have a definite value in helping us regain health once this has been upset.
These dual roles (protective and therapeutic) help explain why the word 'probiotics' was coined since it means 'for life'.

My Bluegrass Baby
Author: Molly Harper
Review Copy provided by Pocket Star and Edelweiss
Sadie Hutchins loves her job at the Kentucky Tourism Commission. Not only could her co-workers double as the cast of Parks & Recreation, but she loves finding the unusual sites, hidden gems, and just-plain-odd tourist attractions of her home state. She's a shoo-in for the director's job when her boss retires at the end of the year…until hotshot Josh Vaughn shows up to challenge her for the position.
Josh is all sophisticated polish while Sadie's country comfort, and the two have very different ideas of what makes a good campaign. So when their boss pits them against each other in a winner-takes-all contest, they're both willing to fight dirty if it means getting what they want. But it turns out, what Josh and Sadie want could be each other—and Josh's kisses are the best Kentucky attraction Sadie's found yet!
Three things, I had never considered prior to reading My Bluegrass Baby by the fantabulous Molly Harper – that I could claim programing my Tivo on my resume (I'm sure that parlays into something workplace related), the number of cartoon characters who run-around with no pants on (aka, the Pantless Pantheon) and Squirrel genitalia (as my friend Toni would say, its all about the nuts ; ) But when I reading Molly Harpers newest contemporary romance, all three of those things, plus many more were mentioned. There is just something quirky about the way she writes, that makes you feel right at home with the characters. I loved how she managed to work so many weird and wonderful facts about Kentucky in the book (but don't worry, I'm not going to spoil the surprise for anyone, since you guys need to have a chance to read it). I do have to admit that I'm normally not a fan of workplace romance type books, it is just a trope that I normally don't enjoy, but I think that Molly did a great job balancing the line between funny and the awkwardness that so often ensures in situations like that.
Anyways, i could probably amble on for hours about how much I enjoy Molly Harper's work – but I won't 😉 All I can say is that if you haven't read (or listened) to any of her stuff yet, then you really need to. If you are looking for lite funny PNR or entertaining contemporary romance, she has something for you. After reading this, she has pretty much sealed her spot on my auto-buy/auto-listen list. Now I can start stalking her for new work. Overall, a solid 4 stars. Oh yeah, and I totally have a new saying, I've been known to comment on my lack of a brain mouth barrier, but I think atrophied verbal filter sounds soo much better!! (Thanks Molly!)
Thanks to Pocket Star for approving my review request and Edelweiss for providing the opportunity.

I have a passion for reading books about bible characters that are written fictionally. I found that it was extremely difficult to find books of this sub-genre. I have decided to start a website that will list all know historical biblical fiction books written in English. These books are being sold on a website that has a backend provided by http://www.theeasystore.com/. If you want to view sample websites being powered by theeasystore backend you can use this link:
I personally like the look of these sites:
Personally I am 53 years old and live in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Readers of books who like to read historical fiction, especially biblical stories.
Requirements part II
Requirements continued: Mostly famous iconic bible characters, Daniel and the lions, Noah and the Ark, Adam and Eve with the apple and tree, Abraham and Isaac, Moses and the burning bush or parting sea, David and Goliath, Samson, and the Virgin Mary.
I would like to have the characters fit closely together similar to this design, but with characters who are easy to tell that they are Noah, Mary, Abraham ect:
I am not saying use every one of these, but a few on the left and a few on the right. I would like it if they were drawn like characters, but not humorous. A user should be able to pick each character and tell who he is.
When a user goes to my website and views this banner he should think that it was professionally done and is not drawn as humorous caricatures. Most of these characters will need to have props to tell the story. Adam and Eve will need the tree. Sampson will need the pillars. Noah will need the ark, Moses should part the sea, and Abraham will need a knife and Isaac. I don't think Mary will need anything. Feel free do stray from my examples if you have better ones. Not all of these need to be used. I really appreciate imitative. I will do my best to provide good feedback.
The site is http://www.biblicalhistoricalfiction.com and is live.
The easy store backend first asks for a left header of 80-150 pixels in height by 300 pixels. The Right Header should be 80-150 pixels in height and 400 pixels in width. Center background is an auto stretch, which will repeat the image dependent on the shopper's screen and resolution settings. The Center Image should be 80-150 pixels in height and 1-500 pixels in width. This image should be solid in color and match the right and left sides of the above images.
The store colors can be: Blue, Pink, Green, BarkBlue, Gray, Orange, PalePink, Red, Teal, and Purple. You can choose the header font and background color. The footer font colors are Black, Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, Orange, Purple and Gray
I would like a graphic display of famous bible characters split between the
left and right parts of the banner.

Debonair singer Bryan Ferry, who has led Roxy Music on and off since 1971, has added shows on the West Coast since it was announced that he'll play the big Coachella Music & Arts Festival on April 11 and April 18. This new tour kicks off April 5 at the 2,929-seat Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Vancouver. It includes a local stop on April 15 at the 2,300-seat Club Nokia in downtown Los Angeles and is scheduled to wrap on April 19 at the 4,562-seat Santa Barbara Bowl.
Barry Gibb, the last surviving singing brother, has only done a few shows since the passing of his brother Robin in May 2012 at age 62, including a brief series of concerts in New Zealand and Australia, where he spent his youth and at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville. He'll kick off a brief six-city American jaunt, "Mythology: The Tour Live" on May 15 at Boston's 18,000-seat TD Garden.
The run will conclude June 4 at the 18,000-seat Hollywood Bowl. Gibb, 67, will showcase a nearly 50-year career of hits. He'll be accompanied by his son, Stephen, and his late brother Maurice's daughter, Samantha Gibb.
On the DL: Motörhead's Lemmy and Canned Heat's Harvey Mandel
English hard rocking speed metal band Motörhead has been forced to cancel another tour, this one a trek through Europe, due to begin next month. The cancellation is because of ongoing medical problems with its leader, Lemmy Kilmister, better known simply as Lemmy, according to a post on the band's website.
The 68-year-old singer bassist, who was a member of space rockers Hawkwind from 1972-75 and formed Motörhead later that year, is a lifelong hard partier. He's been battling diabetes. The band plans to reschedule the tour as soon as Lemmy's doctors give him the all-clear.
Motörhead is also scheduled to perform at Coachella on April 13 and April 20.
Guitar deity Harvey Mandel first joined journeymen L.A. blues-rock outfit Canned Heat in 1969, replacing Henry "the Sunflower" Vestine, and has played with them on and off over the decades ever since (his third gig was at Woodstock). He has been battling a cancer in his nasal passages since he broke his nose in 2011. Over the last two months, he has been operated on for this condition five times. More surgeries are forecast and he has no medical insurance. The 68-year-old's family has begun a fundraising effort via a new website, www.helpharveymandel.com. They hope to raise $50,000.
Mandel began his career in 1966, playing on record with blues harmonica player Charlie Musselwhite. He subsequently played and/or recorded with the likes of Jerry Garcia, Elvin Bishop and English blues figurehead Graham Bond. When Mick Taylor quit The Rolling Stones in 1975, Mandel auditioned with the band and played on a couple songs, "Hot Stuff" and "Memory Motel," that appeared on their 1976 album, "Black and Blue."
New York City celebrates 50th anniversary of Beatles visit
New York City is celebrating the 50th anniversary of The Beatles first trip to that city with "NYC Fab 50: America Celebrates The Beatles," from Feb. 6-9.

Tommy Roe to recreate set as Beatles opening act
Tommy Roe, the most successful hitmaker of the musical genre known as "bubblegum pop" throughout the 1960's with hits such as "Sheila," "Sweet Pea," "Dizzy," "Hooray for Hazel" and "Everybody," will recreate the set he performed on a snowy night, Feb. 11, 1964, at the Washington Coliseum when he, Jay and The Americans, The Caravelle's and The Righteous Brother opened for The Beatles (the snowstorm prevented The Chiffons from making it to Washington).
The 71-year-old Roe's show will take place at the 8,000-seat venue in the nation's capitol on Feb. 11, the 50th anniversary of the concert (the singer continues to perform a dozen or two concerts annually here and in Britain).
That show was The Beatles first full public concert in America and was done between the group's first and second of three weekly appearances on Ed Sullivan's Sunday evening variety program. The Beatles delivered a dozen songs during their nearly half-hour-long set. This time around, Roe will deliver an acoustic set before a Beatles cover band, Beatlemania Now, takes the stage, recreating the set the real Beatles set performed that night.
The Smithereens celebrate Beatles' Washington concert
In other news related to the Beatles first American concert, a new CD has just been released, "The Smithereens Play The Beatles Washington, DC February 11, 1964 Concert — Live." The veteran New Jersey quartet led by Pat Dinizio covers the Fab Four's 12-song set in the order they were played that night 50 years ago, kicking off with "Roll Over Beethoven," "only louder than the screams, and with less jelly bean throwing," according to a post on Dinizio's Facebook page. The album is available on vinyl or CD at www.officialsmithereens.com.

Markets continued their epic bull run and closed at a new post-crisis high.
First the scoreboard:
Dow: 13,895, +70.6, +0.5 percent S&P 500: 1,502, +8.1, +0.5 percent NASDAQ: 3,149, +19.3, +0.6 percent
And now the top stories:
- New home sales unexpectedly fell 7.3 percent to 369k in December. Economists were looking for a reading of 385k. However, it's worth noting that the November number was revised up to 398k. So the report was somewhat mixed.
- However, some economists are increasingly worried about a potential supply glut in the market for new homes. "The worry, though, is that with the pace of new residential building activity now approaching 1 million units, the impending surge in new homes supply could create a problem for this segment of the housing market, unless there is a commensurate increase in demand," wrote TD Securities' Millan Mulraine.
- Business Insider's Henry Blodget recently spoke to economist Robert Shiller who was reluctant to confirm that housing would boom again. "I think that we might have [hit bottom], but my biggest sense is that probably nothing dramatic happens either way," he said. "If the Pulsenomics survey is right, and it's up between 1 and 2 percent real, that's plausible to me. But also down 1 or 2 percent real, that's plausible. I'm sorry I don't have a more precise forecast."
- Shiller also told Blodget that we can expect low returns in the stock market. "I think predicting something like 4 percent real for the stock market, as opposed to 7 or 8 percent historically," he said. "And that looks pretty good."

Don't let the pink color fool you: This luxe shower gel has a fiery scent that's sure to get your attention. The cleansing formula moisturizes thirsty skin with numerous essential oils and plant extracts.
I was so excited to try this product and I will say that the QUALITY of the product is great - the lather is good and the smell lasts a long time. That's the problem - I HATE the scent. It's super musky or something. I would easily buy the product again if it were another scent.2
This is by far the most satisfying product I have ever purchased. This is a product I will use until I grow old and stop caring, I hope Molton continues this smell for years to come. The smell is amazing, and it lingers all day and I love that it gets on your clothes, my wife LOVES it. I use it with a loofah because it sticks on you better, before when I was using old spice, axe, etc I just did the palm method but with this product it doesn't apply as well. Great product, Highly recommend, and if you are worried about the "pink" get over it - worth it.5

Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak's US Festival opens in San Bernardino County, California
No company has done more than Apple, Inc., to bring the world of technology together with the world of music. But those who are too young to remember the world before the iPod may never appreciate how just how far apart those worlds were back in 1982, when Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak hatched an ambitious (and expensive) musical plan: Committing a sizable chunk of his sizable fortune to a musical event billed as the biggest thing since Woodstock, Wozniak staged a three-day concert in the mountains of San Bernardino County that featured some of the day's biggest names in music. The "Us Festival" kicked off under scorching conditions on September 3, 1982.
The temperature was over 110 degrees when the first band took the stage on the opening day of the Us Festival. The group was Gang of Four, a radically political and hugely influential British band followed on Day One by a lineup of punk, post-punk and New Wave heavies: The Ramones, The English Beat, Oingo Boingo, The B-52's, Talking Heads and The Police. The torrid conditions persisted as a mainstream rock lineup including Santana, The Kinks, Pat Benatar and Tom Petty took to the stage on Day Two. Day Three brought 60s legends The Grateful Dead and a headlining performance by Fleetwood Mac. Relief from the heat over the course of that Labor Day weekend came in the form of giveaway spray bottles, a half-acre of free showers and roving tanker trucks mounted with water cannons. And for those still suffering under the sweltering conditions, there was relief in the form of the Us Festival Technology Exposition, housed in five tents behind the main stage and offering not just a glimpse into the future, but the only air conditioning on the concert site.
Inside those tents, you still couldn't find an Apple Macintosh. That groundbreaking machine, developed by Wozniak's Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, was still 18 months away when the Us Festival kicked off. You could, however, find treasures that would cause today's hipster nostalgia enthusiasts to swoon as much as the kids at the 1982 Us Festival did: props from the movies E.T. and Empire Strikes Back; arcade games like Zaxxon, Defender, Krazy Kong and Centipede; and newly introduced "Games of the Century" for the home such as Worm War 1 from Fox Video Games, fully compatible with the Atari Video Computer System and the long-forgotten Sears Tele-Games machine.

WS — The Pick Programmer's Shell http://countyhistorian.com/cecilweb/index.php/Fast_Forward_Technologies/wsdl
Q: What is WS The Pick Programmer's Shell
A: If you have ever used a stacker, then you have an idea of what WS does for you. If you have ever used the "." (dot) command or the "+" command on the TCL command-line, if you have ever used the "STACK-ON" command, you have used a stacker. Stackers allow you to re-execute TCL commands without a great deal of extra typing. For example, instead of typing: ED BP TEST BASIC BP TEST RUN BP TEST over and over, with a stacker you can simply type them once and then re-execute any one of them by doing a .X3 or some similar very abbreviated command. This saves many keystrokes, and much frustration if you happen to normally make a lot of typing errors.
Q: Why did you feel it necessary to create another stacker? The ones that are out there work fine.
Traditional stackers have the following problems. 1) Stackers tend to fill-up with garbage commands like TIME and WHO that you probably will never want to re-execute, because its easier to retype them, then to find them in your stack listing. 2) The program I worked on an hour ago has already scrolled off the default 20-item listing and I have to scour the list to find it again. After doing a .L99 and seeing it in position 42, I then have to type .X42. By this time I could have just retyped RUN BP TEST. 3) Stackers tend to fill-up with mis-typed commands. After using a traditional stacker for ten minutes here is my stack: 1 ED BP TEST 2 RD BP TEST 3 ED BP TSET 4 EDBP TEST you get the point. 4) Stack depth is too limited. Consider a typical programmer, trying to edit ten or fifteen programs a day perhaps, along with compiling, running, editing data and typing other TCL commands and you find that the stacker provides no reference to what you did yesterday because that history is already gone, having scrolled off the end of the 99-item stack. Stackers are a step in the right direction, but its a baby step.
Q: Okay you have convinced me that traditional stackers are not very effective. Why should I try WS?
A: Consider the following features: 1) WS supports multiple stacks, with unlimited depth and intelligently manipulates them. 2) With the use of plug-ins, you can add your own stack systems to WS. Want a ToDo stack? Add it. Want a HostPath stack? Add it. Some plug-ins add stacks, some add features to your TCL environment that are WS-friendly. 3) WS has seperate stacks for program items, data items, TCL commands, and contact info keeping these elements seperate from each other and providing for each one with context-dependent commands and help. WS even has a stack for all the items you delete off the other stacks, just in case you want to get them back. 4) With its built-in Tutor, you can be up and running with WS in a very short time. 5) Get help at any time by typing the ? command. 6) And try the already released plug-in stack INSTALLER that allows you to use the stack as an Install creator, to create self-extracting installs for remote client sites. (Comes with Install.Builder and FFTZip and FFTUnzip.)
Q: Tell me more about how the stacks work. A: There are several stack commands that operate on any stack. Functions like insert a new stack item, append to a stack item, change a stack item, retrieve a stack item. These will be familiar to anyone who has used a stack before. Some of these do slightly different things depending on which stack you are using. For example, if you use the .I command to insert an item into the program stack it will ask you for a File and Item, however the TCL stack will ask for a Line, and the Contacts stack will give you a form to fill-out. In addition, each stack can have context-dependent commands and help. For the program stack these might be B for BASIC, or R for RUN. For the data stack these might be L for LIST, or MV for MVEditor (a plug-in command). Switch between stacks using the .S command. The built-in Tutor can help you with understanding all the commands. In addition, you will be informed about each version of the stack as it becomes available, and each plug-in that is available.
Q: Can you tell me more about the program stack? A: For programmer's WS has a Program stack. It keeps the programs isolated from the other stack entries. No more scouring over all those garbage TCL commands and typos to find the program you are looking for. You can retrieve an element of the stack by any part of its name (.GTEST will retrieve BP TEST or ABC.BP MYBIGTEST). One entry will suffice for any command on the program. You don't need a stack entry for ED BP TEST, BASIC BP TEST, RUN BP TEST, COPY BP TEST; these are all handled by the single entry BP TEST. Edit it by typing E, Compile by typing B, Run by typing R and so on. Output it to a HostPath location (non-Pick) with the HOSTPATH stack plug-in.
The WS stack is its own best advertisement. Why not download it today? Its only 350K.

Phonak pediatrics solutions ensure a child's speech access is continually optimized
Dedicated pediatric Phonak Sky Q family and an expanded range of wireless solutions, including the new Roger technology, support children every step of the way
Oct 18, 2013, 08:00 ET
WARRENVILLE, Ill., Oct. 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The dedicated pediatric solutions from Phonak, featuring the new Phonak Sky Q hearing aids family and the Roger technology, ensure children's speech access is continually optimized whatever their environment. The Phonak Sky Q product portfolio includes four models across three performance levels based on the powerful Quest platform. The broad Mix & Match color range with 17 housing colors and seven ear hook tones lets children create their personal hearing aid design. The SoundRecover algorithm enables maximum access to high-frequency sounds, and the Roger technology bridges the understanding gap in noise and over distance, ensuring optimized access to speech even in challenging listening situations. The enhanced Phonak Target Junior mode allows hearing care professionals to fit even more accurately and verify that the hearing aids are programmed correctly. The Phonak pediatric solutions will be immediately available in the market.
"From the initial testing and diagnosis through to hearing aid selection, verification and support, children's needs are different from those of adults. Leveraging on our 40 years of pediatric experience and our global network of partners and experts, we have worked on a portfolio of solutions that is designed to maximize access to speech and language at every stage of a child's development," said Maarten Barmentlo, Group Vice President Marketing for Phonak. "Our Sky Q product family, based on the powerful Quest platform, and the expanded range of wireless solutions including the new digital standard Roger support children every step of the way."
Phonak Sky Q: Because a child is not a small adult
The Phonak Sky Q hearing aid family, featuring four different models – including a size 13 RIC (Receiver-In-Canal) – across three performance levels ensures there is a Phonak Sky Q model to fit every child. All Phonak Sky Q models are resistant to water, sweat and dust (IP67). The broad Mix & Match color range, featuring 17 housing color options and seven ear hook tones, such as "Caribbean Pirate" and "Dragon Orange", allows children to create their individual hearing aid design.
The non-linear frequency compression algorithm SoundRecover ensures maximum access to high-frequency sounds that are essential for children to develop age-appropriate speech and language skills. The Binaural VoiceStream TechnologyTM, driven by the processing power of the Phonak Quest platform, allows for unparalleled understanding in windy situations, on the phone, and in group situations.
Expanded Wireless Communication Portfolio
The expanded Phonak Wireless Communication Portfolio ensures enhanced access to speech and language in challenging situations. The new ground-breaking Roger technology, a core element of the new pediatric portfolio, bridges the understanding gap in noise and over distance, e.g. in the classroom or on the playground. Roger offers a unique signal-to-noise ratio in these situations, surpassing traditional FM by 54%* and Dynamic FM by 35%*.
The compact wireless Roger Clip-On Mic offers easy one-click connection to Roger receivers and is ideal for parents of young children to use at home, at the park or in the car. The inconspicuous Roger Pen with fully automated microphone settings and Bluetooth connectivity enables young listeners to hear and understand in loud noise and over distance. Both microphones can be used standalone or alongside other Roger Clip-On Mics or additional Roger Pens, to allow conversation with multiple speakers. Roger inspiro is a durable and easy-to-use teacher microphone that has been designed for use in the classroom.
The expanded range of Phonak wireless accessories also includes the new Phonak DECT CP1 cordless phone. Used like a regular phone, it transmits conversations simultaneously to both hearing aids, maximizing speech understanding significantly**. The DECT phone can be used by the whole family.
Enhanced Target Junior mode: easier fitting and verification
The enhanced Target Junior mode, with many new features including a new easy and efficient verification guide, makes it even easier to fit the Phonak Sky Q models. The four refined age ranges (0-3, 4-8, 9-12 and 13-18 years) allow hearing care professionals to even more accurately address the needs of all children.
The new Verification Assistant, a four-step software assistant, ensures that the hearing aids are programmed correctly. The new Toolbox includes the latest pediatric fitting information, e.g. current fitting protocols and full details of the rationale behind Junior mode's DSL and NAL fitting defaults.

Complete list of physicians in Wisconsin (22,671 as of Apr 23, 2019). This database includes addresses, fax and phone numbers. Pay only $29 and download instantly.
Wisconsin Doctor Database is a mailing list that can be used for direct mail marketing or for contacting physicians via phone and fax numbers.
This physicians data bank is obtained from a federal agency each month hence it's complete, up-to-date and accurate.
What You Get
- Physician's full name and credentials (name prefix, suffix, credentials and gender)
- Business address, phone and fax numbers
- Mailing address, phone and fax numbers
- Practitioner's classification and specialization
- NPI and license number
Data Facts About This List
- Number of unique NPI records (i.e. total number of physicians): 22,671
- Number of unique addresses: 8,529
- Number of unique phone numbers: 7,693
- Number of unique fax numbers: 4,901
NPI is a unique 10-digit identification number issued to health care providers in the United States. The reason why the number of unique business addresses (or phone and fax numbers) is much lower than the number of providers is because many doctors work in the same location (e.g. a clinic or a hospital). Hence they share the same work address and phone.
Note that Wisconsin Doctor Database is not an email list. That's because doctor e-mail addresses are not available from the federal agency issuing this healthcare provider data.
If you are not interested in purchasing a full Wisconsin database the NPI Registry Search Website will provide the same info one record at a time.
You can also download our database sample here before purchasing the full mailing list.
Last but not least, if you are looking for a complete database of every physician in the United States please take a look at our complete United States Doctor Database.

You don't have to put different packages in different files, only when you need to make them available to use from other files. SOAP::Lite comes to mind as a module where it exhibits much different behavior depending on what's needed (eg, do we use 'xsi:null' or 'xsi:nil' for this version of XML Schema?SOAP::Lite might be a bit of an extreme example, as they pack a *lot* into one file. (I count 28 package declarations currently, and it looks like more might be dynamically generated; I remember bugging BareBones Software for *years* about marking packages in automatically generated list of functions so that I could use it to find my way around the file).

Walk through Skirball Cultural Center's new "Global Citizen: The Architecture of Moshe Safdie" exhibition, and you'll see building designs loaded with cultural, social and religious meaning. A museum to the Sikhs of Anandpur Sahib, India. A library that has become a popular wedding site in Salt Lake City. And in Los Angeles, one of the nation's largest Jewish cultural institutions 30-plus years in the making.
Yes, Safdie built the Skirball too.
What he calls a "quintessentially California" campus — an intertwining of gardens, landscape, terraces, outdoor rooms and architecture — is prominently featured in the exhibition's U.S. debut. The exhibition was sponsored by Skirball and Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Betonville, Ark., and had its world debut at the National Gallery of Canada in Ottowar in 2010.
Last week, it opened at the Skirball in tandem with the completion of the campus. While it enjoys its own gallery space and outdoor guided tour, Skirball is just part of Safdie's great body of work in North America, Israel and more recently in the countries of China, Singapore and India.
Chronologically organized in five chapters that occupy all of the Skirball's galleries, it retraces the last 45 years of the architect's career through 3-dimensional scale models, drawings, photographs and film, starting with his breakthrough, Habitat 67.
This groundbreaking urban housing project, inspired by the hillside villages of his native Israel, was unveiled as an exhibition pavilion at the 1967 World's Exposition in Montreal, his adopted homeland since childhood. Its unusual stacked, concrete structure of modular forms that made use of prefabricated materials spawned a series of projects using these experimental building techniques.
None were built, but the concept is regularly reconsidered and updated.
"Every 10 years it becomes a touchstone for a symbol of the future, for a symbol of modernity," says Donald Albrecht, curator of architecture and design at the Museum of the City of New York who conceived and created the "Global Citizen" exhibition. "It's a very happily settled community now, but it went through some dark times."
Visitors can get a taste of the controversy surrounding this and other Safdie projects, including the Jerusalem-based Yad Vashem Holocaust History Museum's triangular, concrete tunnel.
The building was completed in 2005. Its dimly lit, narrow tunnel takes people through the rise of Nazism and the horrors of the Holocaust before opening up to a panoramic view of a sunlit Israel. Critics argued it suggested a positive ending to the Holocaust. The metaphoric dimension of the walls opening up was seen by others as somewhat corny.
"Sometimes with Moshe's work there is a feeling that in the attempt to be meaningful and reach the public, there's a too populist approach that does not go with architecture. Architecture should pull back," Albrecht says, summing up the criticism that runs throughout the show.
And yet, metaphor is a popular component of Safdie's work. The roof on Washington D.C.'s United States Institute of Peace Headquarters, completed in 2011, features dynamic translucent forms that suggest the wings of a dove.
Daylight and the merging of landscape, gardens and architecture are also found in much of his work, from Habitat 67 to its 21st century reimagining seen in four designs specifically built for the exhibition, as well as at the Skirball where "Global Citizen" runs through March 2.

(Phoenix, Ariz. – Sept. 16, 2008) Attorney General Terry Goddard filed a lawsuit against the Phoenix Country Club ("PCC") today alleging ongoing violations of the Arizona Civil Rights Act's public accommodations provision prohibiting sex-based discrimination. The suit alleges that PCC engages in sex-based discrimination by excluding women from using the Men's Grill and men from using the Women's Grill.
The suit contends that many of PCC's meetings, conferences and events are broadly advertised to the general public and are attended by members of the general public. In addition, PCC provides catering services for many of these functions that are paid by members of the general public and through which PCC derives significant income.
According to the lawsuit, the Men's Grill contains amenities that are superior to the Women's Grill and other PCC dining areas, and it is well known within the business community as an ideal place to network, build business relationships and broker deals. Court documents indicate that PCC intends to retain the segregated dining areas after upcoming renovations and that the Men's Grill will retain superior amenities than those offered in other dining areas.
"The allegations against the Phoenix Country Club represent significant and systemic acts of discrimination," Goddard said. "I will aggressively pursue the Phoenix Country Club and any other institution that violates the law and the fundamental civil rights of Arizonans."
The lawsuit states that in December 2006, PCC member Logan Van Sittert and his wife Barbara Van Sittert submitted a letter to the president of PCC's Board of Directors asking PCC to reverse its policy of excluding women from the Men's Grill. After receiving the letter, the Board did not change the policy.
The lawsuit further alleges that within days of the Van Sitterts submitting the letter, they were subjected to verbal abuse, threats and Mr. Van Sittert's PCC locker was vandalized. In addition, the lawsuit claims that after the Van Sitterts complained about the segregated dining facilities, PCC's Board of Directors amended its bylaws and revised its "Etiquette" policy. The suit alleges that the changes targeted the Van Sitterts and others who oppose PCC's segregated dining practices by threatening them with suspension or expulsion if they filed, or threaten to file, a lawsuit against PCC or made "derogatory or otherwise injurious comments to the media" about PCC.
The Attorney General's Office is seeking actual and compensatory damages for the Van Sitterts, including emotional distress damages, as well as a permanent injunction against PCC prohibiting it from discriminating on the basis of sex. The suit also seeks a civil penalty against PCC to vindicate the public interest.
This lawsuit is the result of an investigation by the Civil Rights Division of the Arizona Attorney General's Office. A copy of the complaint is available at www.azag.gov.
The Arizona Civil Rights Act prohibits discrimination in places of public accommodation based on a person's race, color, religion, sex, disability, national origin or ancestry. Any person who believes that his or her civil rights have been violated should call the Arizona Attorney General's Civil Rights Division toll-free at 1-877-491-5742, or toll free via TDD at 1-877-624-8090.
