Over thirty years ago, when the fight against HIV first began, the outlook for tackling the pandemic was bleak. Across the world, AIDS was seen as a death sentence. Within just a few years, it had devastated communities from the United States to South Africa.
But the world continued to fight, and the past three decades have seen tremendous progress in HIV research, prevention and treatment, thanks in large part to the leadership of the United States. Today, we can build on that strong legacy to answer President Obama and Secretary Clinton's call for an AIDS-free generation.
The XIX International AIDS Conference (AIDS 2012) conference will be an opportunity to renew our commitment to this incredible goal. It also marks an historic moment, as the United States hosts the conference for the first time in over 20 years now that people living with HIV and AIDS are able to visit the U.S. to attend in-person.
We know that we have a long way to go to win the fight against HIV -- especially for children.
Through the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) -- the largest international commitment to a single disease by any individual country -- the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and other U.S. government agencies provide lifesaving HIV and AIDS services to millions of children, women, and families worldwide.
These investments in the global AIDS fight are paying off. Together with PEPFAR, our efforts have made a significant difference in promoting access to prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) services, helping to cut new pediatric infections in half in the past decade. We've also helped support 9.8 million pregnant women with HIV testing and counseling and provided PMTCT services to more than 660,000 HIV-positive women. As a result, approximately 200,000 infants were born free of HIV.
That means that 200,000 more children have had the opportunity to live to celebrate their 5th birthday.
This milestone is an extraordinarily important one in the development of all children, and it is the impetus behind the Every Child Deserves a 5th Birthday campaign -- an awareness-raising effort that brings together dozens of partners and educates a broader community on how to save children's lives. The campaign also sets the stage for the Child Survival Call to Action in June. Co-convened by the Governments of the United States, India and Ethiopia, and in close collaboration with UNICEF, the Call to Action will bring together public and private constituencies to chart the course towards the end of preventable child deaths -- including deaths caused by AIDS or AIDS-related causes.
The Call to Action will also build on ongoing global efforts, including PEPFAR and UNAIDS's global plan (PDF 785KB) to end virtually all new HIV infections in children in the next few years while keeping mothers alive and healthy.
Still, we need to do better in the fight against HIV and AIDS. Today, we know what works in the effort to save children's lives and now, more than ever, we are in a position to virtually eliminate pediatric AIDS. Together, we can give all children the chance to celebrate their fifth birthday.
Rajiv Shah is administrator at the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).

President Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九) used a videoconference with US academics to praise the recent fishery agreement with Japan as a successful application of his East China Sea peace initiative, adding that the government would seek cooperation with China on the joint development of natural resources in the area, while shelving territorial disputes over the Diaoyutai Islands (釣魚台).
Taiwan and Japan signed a fisheries agreement last week in a bid to end controversies over fishing in waters surrounding the Diaoyutais, known as the Senkaku Islands in Japan.
In a videoconference with the Center on Democracy, Development and the Rule of Law at Stanford University in California, Ma said the pact did not address the competing claims over the Diaoyutais because the two sides agreed to set aside territorial disputes during the negotiations.
In response to a question from former US chief of naval operations Gary Roughead about the Diaoyutais situation now, Ma said that since Japan has an agreement with China on resource development in the East China Sea, Taiwan would seek to negotiate with Japan on future talks with China on joint development of natural resources in the area because the two have already been cooperating on sea rescues and oil development in the Taiwan Strait.
"I have always believed that while national sovereignty cannot be divided, natural resources can be shared. If we focus first on natural resources, joint development and joint conservation and management, I think we can develop the kind of mutual trust that may eventually lead us to solutions for sovereignty issues," he said.
During the one-hour videoconference chaired by former US secretary of state Condoleezza Rice, Ma said the government would seek to deepen cross-strait relations and reduce tensions across the Strait in a speech entitled "Steering Through a Sea of Change."
The government would continue to focus on economic and other less sensitive cross-strait issues, while putting aside political disputes over sovereignty, he said. The two sides of the Strait would continue to complete negotiations on trade in goods and services under the Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement, and expand educational and cultural exchanges, including relaxing restrictions on the number of Chinese students in Taiwan, he said.
In response to Rice's question about the impact of closer cross-strait ties on Taiwan-US relations, Ma said reducing tensions across the Strait should serve the best interests of the US and the international community, and Taipei would continue to seek closer economic cooperation with the US.
Seperately, the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) said Ma's insistence on making China a player in the Diaoyutais dispute between Taiwan and Japan, and his plan to sign a pact with China on sharing resources in the East China Sea, were unnecessary and did not serve Taiwan's interests.
History has shown that "Ma had only China in his eyes on almost every issue related to international cooperation, such as fighting crime, medical cooperation and economic cooperation," DPP Policy Research Committee executive director Joseph Wu (吳釗燮) said.
"Collaborating with China without strengthening collaborative partnerships with other countries and allies would further trap Taiwan in Beijing's 'one China' framework, which does not serve Taiwan's interests," Wu said.

So Very Excited..." and relayed that the Chester Chronicle (A Welsh publication) was going to be publishing a follow up story this week about the shipwreck of the Royal Charter that occurred on October 26, 1859. Images of the shipwreck were going to be printed in the Chronicle at some point this week. All I had hoped for was to see a couple pictures on their website, but I was greeted with a much happier sight via the BBC's website. There is a 2 minute long video clip which not only shows some bits of the shipwreck, but talks with Chris Holden, one of the authors of the book Life and Death on the "Royal Charter", as well as a brief summary of what happened to the Royal Charter 152 years ago this October.
Of course this developing story is of great interest to me as a descendant of someone that died in the shipwreck. I've posted about the Royal Charter a few times before. I am excited that there will be a documentary broadcast on the Royal Charter and that it will include the underwater images. I'm bummed that I'm certain it won't be shown in America. I may have to look for any YouTube posts on it. I can only dream of it being released on DVD, but you can be sure that if it is I'll be first in line to get it!
If you'd like to view the 2 minute video and check out the news article on the Royal Charter head on over to the BBC here!

BRENTWOOD — Aaron Desjardins, the man who is charged with slashing his ex-wife's throat and trying to incinerate her body, was indicted Oct. 4 on charges of first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit murder and conspiracy to commit hindering apprehension.
Police allege Desjardins, 37, of 67 Railroad Ave. in Epping, kidnapped Amanda "Amy" Warf at gunpoint and drove her from Epping to Exeter before murdering her and trying to burn the body and other evidence.
Warf's body was discovered by firefighters in the abandoned City Concrete Company plant on Hampton Road in Exeter, March 7, when they responded to a morning fire. Officials said the blaze was set. The former plant is a short distance from Exeter Hospital, where Warf was employed at the time of her death.
Court documents state Desjardins asked his sister Michele Corson, 44, of 337 Water Street in Skowhegan, Maine, to bring a gun from Maine to New Hampshire so he could control Warf before and while he killed her. He asked his new wife Sarah Desjardins, 34, of 5b Paxton Terrace in Nashua, to send a text message to Corson directing her to bring a gun, according to the same documents.
The prosecution claims Desjardins inspected the City Concrete building, placed gasoline there, purchased a camouflage mask, discussed with co-conspirator Sarah who they should name as suspects in the investigation of WARF's death and shaved his head, arms and goatee in an attempt to avoid apprehension.
Corson and Sarah Desjardins were indicted on charges of accomplice to first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit murder and conspiracy to commit hindering apprehension on Oct. 4. Corson not only brought a .32 automatic German Mauser pistol across the state border to help Desjardins keep Warf detained while he killed her, she helped him shave his head to avoid apprehension and contributed to his alibi, court documents state.
Sarah Desjardins provided advice to her husband about how to avoid detection, contributed to his alibi and sent a text message to Corson directing her to bring a the pistol for detaining Warf.
Desjardins spoke with the media immediately following Warf's death, complimenting police for their work and using a cane while smoking cigarettes. He told reporters he was in his house with his wife and young child "all morning" the day Warf's body was found.
Court records state Warf and Desjardins split up in 2011. Their divorce was finalized in Feb. 2012. Warf had a child two months after the divorce was finalized. Desjardins remarried the same month.
Desjardins was taken into police custody March 12 after a search by homicide investigators.

Surprisingly, shopping here does not cost me more money than if I had been shopping at the regular grocery store. The produce is shockingly less expensive (and much higher quality).
Many (in fact, most during the growing seasons) of the the produce boasts the "Our Own" tags like the spinach pictured to the left.
Bread from 4 or 5 different local bakeries... and there is no short supply of Nutella. I haven't crossed over to the natural and/or organic peanut butter yet - I just can't do it. I've tried. I have to have the added sugar and deliciousness of JIF extra crunchy.
The huge selection of scones might be my favorite thing of all at Verrill... especially the cranberry orange scones. I'll be attempting to replicate them later this week from KC - because I'm missing them!

Just like the place on the MS continuum where one person's disease is different, like we all had individual places in life, career, family, etc., when MS was diagnosed; so too were we/are we in different places when it comes to financial planning and Multiple Sclerosis.
Money can be a difficult subject to tackle in a healthy marriage with two "healthy" partners. Toss in the strain of MS, reduced earning potential, high out-of-pocket expenditures and it might just be a conversation that you choose just not to have. Like the medical issues that come with MS, we really shouldn't skirt the financial side of things.
For many people the daunting question, "Where to start" is reason enough to not begin in the first place. Just as we know we shouldn't ignore a new hiccup in our disease progression, neither should planning for the future be turned away from simply because it's a hard subject to face.
Tomorrow night the self-help group I co-lead will be hosting a financial planner to go over a few pointers with the guys.
The topic has been on our radar for quite a while, but it is a delicate topic to bring up in front of a group. All of us, however, felt like we are at a place in our group relationship where we already know many of the intimate details of one another's MS struggles.
I thought that I might pass along a few of your questions and see if I can't get any general answers for you and our whole community.
Understanding that particular and specific questions to one's personal situation might not translate well, I am putting out a call for general questions for the planner. He has experience in the disability issues and was recommended by my local chapter of the National MS Society.
So, do you have questions about investments, savings, long-term care, life insurance… stuff like that? Put your questions in the comments section and we'll see if we can't get you some answers.
Wishing you and your family the best of health.
Don't forget that you can also follow me via our Life With MS Facebook page,on Twitter, and our new group on MS Connection.org. Check out our occasional blog for the UK and look for our Very Special new monthly blog for the National MS Society.

Evolution: Fish face to your face
Q. Lover, where'd you get that wonderful face? C. Tuna
A. Some 600 million years ago, the human face-to-be was little more than the leading edge of a hungry tube swimming in the sea, says anthropologist David Givens in Love Signals.
"Picture the business end of a vacuum-cleaner hose and you'll understand the basic ancestral structure of the human face," he says. Eventually, primitive fish faces emerged, two eyes and a snout set over a mouth. We owe our basic eyes-nose- mouth architecture to fish, but the archaic fish face was expressionless and incapable of courtship.
Then little furry warm-blooded mammals took faces one step better, freeing them up and making them mobile. For the first time in evolutionary history, animals could wink, grin, and leer.
Real facial liberation came with the primates, as during courtship lips compress, brows lower, ears flatten, eyes widen, teeth bare, and tongues show. The zenith is the human face, seductive as a neon sign in Las Vegas.
"One has only to think of Rudolph Valentino's eyes, Marilyn Monroe's sugary pout, the otherworldly mouth of da Vinci's Mona Lisa, and the painful last look Bergman gives Bogart in Casablanca. We've come a long way from the fishes."
Q. On a job interview, would you fare better if it were conducted by a human or by a robot (computer)? P. Trunk
A. That depends. If you're highly qualified, the robot is a better bet to appropriately or at least systematically weigh all your qualifications– education, past experience, recommendations, aptitude tests, etc. says Carnegie Mellon University psychologist Robyn Dawes.
If you're unqualified or underqualified, go with the human interviewer, hoping to play on such human follies as overgeneralization–you remind the interviewer of someone he or she likes– or raw subjectivity– you have some common interest even if irrelevant to performance on the job or you play "dummy reversal" by getting your interrogator talking about himself or herself. Everyone loves self-talk, so here's a cinch to create that interpersonal "warm glow."
So seductive are these that University of Michigan psychologist Richard Nisbett has coined the phrase "interview illusion" to describe the stunning overconfidence employers or other gatekeepers place in the validity of their own assessment based on a one-hour interview! Blithely they will override a varied lifetime track record in favor of their own quick hunches and intuitions.
More likely than a robot you may– if lucky– get a "structured" interview, where the human sticks to specific and predetermined questions and scoring, says George Mason University psychologist Jose Cortina. But most interviewers hate these, as they're not much fun (for the interviewer!).
So very likely any human interview will be idiosyncratic, unreliable, invalid, says Cortina. "Sure, if you're a dopey, lazy, straight White male with a fresh haircut and nice bridgework, this may be just what the job-doctor ordered. For everybody else, pray for a robot."
Q. Are "Siamese triplets" possible? Chang, Eng, and Ping
A. Conjoined twins are rare enough, identical twins developing with a single placenta from a single fertilized ovum, more often female than male, occurring once in every 200,000 live births, one in every 40,000 births overall, says zygote.swarthmore.edu.
Even more rare are conjoined twins born as triplets with a non-conjoined sibling, though there are a number of such citations in the Medline database, says Dr. Peter Klein of the University of Pennsylvania Medical School. Adds Dr. Daniel Kessler, also of the Medical School: "Research into the embryology of animals indicates that Siamese triplets could form, but the frequency of Siamese triplets in humans is predicted to be far lower than Siamese twins, and the live birth of Siamese triplets would be even less likely."
So it is not surprising that clear and documented cases are hard to come by, though "Gould and Pyle's Curiosities of Medicine" does cite an 1834 case in Sicily of three boys born with a single torso, two hearts, two stomachs, two lungs and three heads.
Whether this was tabloid or real is impossible to say.
Q. We've all met our share of boasters, name-droppers, flatterers. Are these "social strategies" effective? C. Clay
A. They usually backfire, leaving listeners rolling their eyes and muttering under their breath, says Cornell psychologist Thomas Gilovich in How We Know What Isn't So.
Except for flattery, which does work unless it seems too blatant or manipulative. "The warm glow of being flattered often overcomes the cold realization that it might be strategic." Surely he doesn't flatter everyone, the flattered will think. Flattery works even when coming from a programmed computer, studies show. "An argument could even be made that flattery is an underutilized strategy."

Lena Horne, the legendary jazz singer, icon of American popular music and award winning actress -- and as far as I'm concerned, one of the most captivating women ever to walk this planet -- died yesterday, Sunday, at New York-Presbyterian Hospital. She was 92. Called "one of the incomparable performers of our time," she was best known for her plaintive signature song "Stormy Weather" from the film of the same name and her starring roles in such pictures as Cabin in the Sky, Panama Hattie, and The Wiz.
Horne had an easy, sultry singing voice, insanely beautiful, and her compelling sex appeal may have at first overshadowed her talents, but she wasn't just another pretty face. When she signed with MGM Pictures, she was among the handful of black actors to have a contract with a major Hollywood studio, though it was never easy. Her life long battle against bigotry took its psychic toll; Horne was perpetually frustrated with the public humiliation of racism. A pivotal moment took place in 1945 as she entertained at an Army base in Europe and saw that German prisoners of war were seated up front while black American soldiers were relegated to the back. She worked with Eleanor Roosevelt to pass anti-lynching laws. Her involvement in various social and political organizations and her friendship with Paul Robeson, who was just as well known as a singer as for his communist leanings, had Horne's name placed on the era's blacklists during the red scare witch hunts of the early 1950's and the age of Joseph McCarthy.
Born Lena Mary Calhoun Horne in Brooklyn on June 30, 1917, she dropped out of school at 16 to help support her family. She joined the chorus line at the Cotton Club, the mythical Harlem night spot where the entertainers were black and the clientele white. By the spring of 1934, she had a featured role in the Cotton Club Parade. She left the club in 1935 to tour with Noble Sissle's orchestra, then billed as Helena Horne. Horne was also one of the first black performers hired to sing with a major white band when she joined Charlie Barnet's orchestra in 1940. She was the first black performer to play the Copacabana nightclub in New York City.
In 1943, MGM Studios loaned her to 20th Century-Fox to play the role of Selina Rogers in the all-black movie musical Stormy Weather. Her rendition of the title song became a major hit and put her name center stage for the next several decades.
Horne became one of the most visible celebrities in the civil rights movement of the late 50's and 1960's. She made headlines for once throwing a lamp, an ashtray and several glasses at a customer who made a racial slur in a Beverly Hills restaurant, bloodying the man's forehead. In 1963 Horne joined with some 250,000 others in the March on Washington, D.C. when Martin Luther King Jr. gave his "I Have a Dream" speech. That same year Horne spoke at a NAACP rally with another civil rights leader, Medgar Evers, just the weekend before his assassination.
In the early 1970's Horne went into seclusion. In a period of just over a year, her father, son and husband all died. She became too grief-stricken to perform or even see anyone but her closest friends. Oddly enough, comedian Alan King was the one who convinced her to return to the stage and public life.
Horne had her first big Broadway success as the star of Jamaica in 1957, but in 1981, for her one-woman Broadway show, Lena Horne: The Lady and Her Music, she won a special Tony Award and the 333 performances still hold the record for the longest-running solo performance in Broadway history. In it, she sang two versions -- one straight and the other gut-wrenching -- of "Stormy Weather" to give audiences a glimpse of the spiritual odyssey she had taken in of her five-plus decade long career. In 1984 she was Kennedy Center Honors recipient for extraordinary talent, creativity, and perseverance. And of her four Grammy Awards, the one she received in 1989 was the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.

If you're going to huff paint, why sit around in the basement playing Grand Theft Auto? The real thing's more thrilling and you might actually die. That was, apparently, the train of thought for an Australian 17-year-old who got high on paint, stole a BMW X5, and eluded police in a high speed chase around Brisbane.
Joined by six other teenagers, William John Noel Compton (how's that for an Aussie paint huffer's name?) evaded police for nearly two hours (a pair of other teens broke away in a stolen Z4) before getting himself cornered in an underground parking garage. We're not sure if he was driving the V6 or V8 version of the X5, but judging from news chopper footage of the chase, his pursuer had difficulty keeping up. In any event, it was much more exciting than OJ Simpson's pathetic trundle away from the LAPD way back in '94.
Luckily for the fume-dizzy teens, there will be no bloody glove involved in the police investigation. But by the time their buzzes had worn off, all seven were charged with burglary, breaking and entering and unlawful use of motor vehicles.

|Park Reconstruction. View south on 6th Avenue from 42nd Street 1934 (Photo: NYC Parks Department)
The real change came in 1933 with the election of the reform-minded Fiorello LaGuardia as Mayor of NYC. LaGuardia knew that the prevailing situation, wherein the city's parks were directly administered by borough Presidents who often had no expertise in the field, was inadequate. LaGuardia proposed that all of the city's parks be administered by one true Parks Commissioner, and nominated Robert Moses for the post, who already chaired the New York State Park Council, was President of the Long Island State Park Commission. State lawmakers didn't want Moses to hold all those positions, but after some intense lobbying in Albany, the appointment came through and Moses wasted no time.
|1934 Opening Dedication with Commissioner Moses (Photo: NYC Parks Department)
Using Simpson's plan as a basis, Moses directed an incredibly quick refashioning of Bryant Park in 1934. The park was raised four feet from the street, a broad lawn was installed, and the entire park was surrounded by a granite wall topped by a wrought-iron fence. The Lowell Fountain (picture taken at the opening dedication ceremony on September 14, 1934) was moved from the shadow of the library to its current position on the west end of the park, and 270 London Plane trees were planted. Though the effect was lavish, the renovation cost was relatively modest, as workers from the New Deal-era Civil Works Administration were employed. In little over six months, the park was transformed from a waste heap to an attractive accompaniment to the Beaux Arts magnificence of the New York Public Library.
Praise was generally lavish, but not everyone was thrilled. Lewis Mumford, longtime architecture critic for The New Yorker, famously dissented. After perfunctorily admitting that anything was better than the previous situation, his objections centered on the fact that the east-west orientation led to a spectacular vista of…the Sixth Avenue El train. That structure had plagued the park since the 1880's and was finally torn down in the late 1930's. That was good news for the park, but unfortunately, that demolition, coupled with the construction of the Sixth Avenue subway, dominated the park for years. This photo of the El being torn down gives a good idea of just how unsightly it was.
|Dismantling the IND 6th Avenue Line 1939 (Photo: NYPL)
There were other problems with the design, not immediately apparent. As discussed here before, the elevation of the park removed it from the ebb and flow of pedestrian traffic (check out this photo to see the effect the elevation wrought). Also, the stone walls, the relatively few entrances, and tall hedges inside the park exacerbated an urban problem that Moses and Simpson could not have anticipated: the open selling of illegal drugs.
Whatever the defects, the 1934 rehabilitation of Bryant Park established some important precedents. First, the need for a breathing space in midtown-Manhattan was widely acknowledged; second, business and building owners in the area made it clear that they believed a thriving park was essential for the success of the entire neighborhood; and third, the changes that strong leadership could bring to bear on a seemingly forlorn cause was made apparent.

Tour de France legend Greg LeMond once said, "It never gets any easier, you just go faster". For some triathletes, it may feel more like, "It never gets any easier, and I never get any faster". However, the wise among you may have already realised that focusing on cycling can provide the biggest improvement
in your race times.
Although a triathlon involves three sports, the greatest proportion of time during a race is spent on the bike section. During a sprint- or Olympic-distance race you may spend around 50 to 65 per cent of your time perched on your saddle; during an Ironman the proportion is even greater at around 55 to 70 per cent. So if you don't already own padded shorts, now is the time to buy some.
Improving your cycling fitness won't only enable you to ride faster though, it will also reduce fatigue going into the run section. To race at your best, do not underestimate the importance of effective cycle training. In case you are in any doubt, these are the words of Stephen Bayliss, Britain's leading Ironman Triathlete: "For me the cycling section of a triathlon is so important. It can give me minutes on my opposition and when I am fit on the bike I am able to run even better off the bike." Time spent cycle training is worth its weight in gold.
There are similarities between cycle training and running training. Many runners regularly do long runs and interval sessions, and a cyclist would train in a simailr way - long rides at lower intensities to improve the economy with which the body uses oxygen, and shorter sessions at a higher intensity to train the body to delay the onset of lactic acid.
As with running, good technique is also a performance factor in cycling. For example, the best runners perform drills to help them run efficiently, while top cyclists practise good technique by pedalling smoothly in a circular motion, and keeping their upper-bodies relaxed. However, there are some fundamental differences between cycle training and running training, and it is only by fully understanding these differences that you could possibly shave minutes off your bike splits.
Gear ratio
Unlike running and swimming, equipment and aerodynamics are hugely important in cycling. Technophobes may yearn for the simplicity and purity of sports like running, but make no mistake: if you have enough determination, the science of cycling will enable you to slash minutes off your personal best. It is one of the few sports where time spent in a shed, or in front of a book, can be worth more than time spent training.
Thankfully, it is not all about having the most expensive and shiniest bike. It is about having a bike that fits you perfectly, with the most suitable gearing for the races you are doing. It is also about maintaining your bike, so that it runs efficiently and never lets you down.
Aerodynamics also play a huge part. Reducing your drag through the air enables you to travel faster without any extra effort. An easy way to reduce drag is simply to observe your bike position in a mirror from the front and the sides, making small adjustments that make you lower or smaller to the oncoming air resistance, while making sure you are still comfortable. Many triathletes use aero-bars to make them smaller at the front so they slip through the air.
Tight-fitting clothing and an aero-helmet also make a significant difference, as do certain kinds of wheels and handle bars. If you are in any doubt about the importance of aero-dynamics, go and watch a cycling time trial (www.cyclingtimetrials.org.uk).
Every second counts for these cyclists as they race against the clock. You will notice how much attention they pay to reducing their drag through the air. This is because they realise that improvements in aerodynamics can improve their times by literally minutes. It is no coincidence that most of the British Time Trial records are still held by Chris Boardman and Graeme Obree, both pioneers in this field.
Go long
Cyclists have it easier than some other endurance athletes because eating and drinking on a bike is a relatively simple task. No other sport keeps your stomach so stable, or allows you to carry all your food and fluids with you so easily. This is just as well because when you're pedalling hard you will be burning up a hefty 600 to 1000 calories per hour. Effective refuelling on the bike means that you can train for longer, without causing the body as much stress as a long run would.
Cycling is also a non-weight bearing sport, so cyclists do not suffer the muscle damage that runners might from hours spent pounding the Tarmac. It is for these reasons that you are able to train on the bike for several hours at a time, teaching the body to become efficient in the way it uses oxygen.
Cyclists typically spend the winter months riding long and steadily from two to five hours, at 70 to 75 per cent of their maximum, before racing and training their way to peak fitness through the spring. Some triathlon coaches even believe that these long rides have a strong cross-over effect, reducing the need for low-intensity runs and swims.
Turbo training is the cycling equivalent of running on a treadmill - and like treadmill running, excitement and mental stimulation do not always register highly. Despite the boredom factor, it is not uncommon for Ironman triathletes to turbo train for five or more hours - you could use the time to watch the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy. However, unless you're training for an Ironman, you can be less tough on yourself by focusing on short quality sessions.
Aside from avoiding bad weather, the beauty of turbo training is that you never have to ease up for junctions, traffic or descents. In training terms, this means you can do consistent, measured periods of work that would be impossible on the open road. This is especially useful when doing higher-intensity speed work. For example, one great session for improving lactate threshold is two sessions of 15 minutes at 85 per cent of your maximum effort. Try doing this on the roads and you will soon become frustrated by the number of times you are forced to ease off the power. By doing it on the turbo trainer, you'll be able to concentrate on maintaining the right intensity level throughout the repetition.
While you are doing this kind of session on a turbo trainer, you can also improve your technique by listening to how smoothly you are pedalling and making adjustments to improve it. Smooth, efficient pedalling on a turbo trainer will make a constant droning sound, giving you extra power for no extra effort. However, if you are pedalling inefficiently you will hear an interrupted drone, from all of your effort being focused on the downward pedal stroke only. Just make sure you turn down the volume on your iPod before you try this.
Group dynamics
The fast-moving, tightly packed Tour de France peloton perfectly demonstrates the advantages of sheltering behind other cyclists. Known as 'drafting', riding behind a single cyclist gives you around a 10 per cent advantage, while being in a group can offer as much as a 30 per cent gain. Although drafting is banned in most triathlons, it is still extremely useful in training, allowing you to train with other cyclists who may be significantly faster or slower then yourself. With the faster riders staying at the front, and the slower ones tucking in behind, mixed ability groups can train together to everyone's advantage. Riding with others also provides a valuable safety net to the inevitable mechanical problems, accidents, becoming lost, and sudden changes in weather conditions.
Club together
Cycling clubs are a great option for any triathlete looking to improve their biking prowess. Many clubs offer group training rides, road races, time trials and even the opportunity to train on a track. Aside from the training opportunities, the beauty of being part of a cycling club is that it encourages you to think like a cyclist. Training and socialising with experienced cyclists allows you to broaden your horizons in terms of training, routes, equipment, bike maintenance, aerodynamics and where to find the best tea-shops. A good starting point for seeking out a cycling club near to you is www.britishcycling.org.uk - click on the club-finder link.
Time trials
Cycle time trials, nicknamed 'The Race of Truth', are a solo bike race, against the clock over a set distance and course. Time trials are held all over the UK during the summer months at distances from one mile to 24-hours non-stop, but the most common distances are 10 and 25 miles. There are two different types of events: club and open time trials. Club events are low key and are often held on mid-week evenings. They allow entry on the line for the princely sum of one or two pounds and are the perfect summer's training session for triathletes.
Open events on the other hand require entry at least two weeks in advance, via a standardised entry form. They tend to be at weekends, costing around £6 to enter with potential prize money and often an impressive selection of homemade cakes for refuelling at the finish. Some of the more serious and dedicated cycle time-triallists can be seen at open events, although there is also a wide spread of ability. Open events are a great way to learn about riding fast and you will get
to see the equipment and attention to aerodynamics that allow the top riders to maintain speeds of more than 30 miles per hour for 10 miles.
Competing in a time trial is as much a mental effort as a physical one, as you learn to push yourself for a personal best. It teaches you what hard riding feels like, and it will improve your triathlon performances. Also, because of the non-weight bearing nature of cycling, recovery is very quick, making time trials an excellent form of regular high-intensity training for triathletes.
Q During the bike section of a triathlon my right foot went numb and I couldn't feel it again until almost the end of the run. I don't think it affected me physically but it was a strange sensation and one I'd be keen to avoid next time if possible. What caused it?
A Numbness in the feet during cycling is generally caused by nerve impingement between the metatarsal heads (foot bones) near the ball of the foot. Tight shoes are often the cause, and sometimes simply changing to a roomier shoe or even loosening the straps can solve the problem. Cycling shoes usually have a flat insole and so anatomically designed foot-beds or orthotic devices may also help. The use of running shoes for cycling can also cause numbness, as they allow the pressure of the pedals to transmit
through to the foot.
If these remedies don't work, you may need to adjust your pedals in order to redistribute the pressure on your feet. Move your cleats back about 2mm and try lowering your saddle the same amount. You should be able to feel a noticeable improvement.
Q On long rides I suffer from stiffness and pain in my neck during and after training. Is there a cure for this?
A Neck pain is a common complaint among cyclists and can be caused by improper bike fit, particularly when excessive reach to the handlebar forces you to extend your neck to see ahead. Insufficient neck strength and riding long distances without a break are also contributory factors.
A sore neck can often be alleviated by raising the stem, or by installing a shorter stem. If you are using aero-bars you might try raising them. If your stem will not rise any higher, you may need new forks with a longer steerer tube for the stem to attach to. If all else fails, and you have the money to spend, a custom-made bike will provide a fit that is second to none.
Q I have recently taken up cycling, and have been experiencing quite bad saddle soreness.
Is there anything I can do to alleviate it?
A The first thing to do is make sure your riding position is correct. There are two hard bones in your bottom that you can feel if you sit on your hands, and these are where your weight should be centred on the saddle. Also, be sure that you are not reaching too far to your handlebars, causing you to roll forwards onto soft tissue. Wearing the right kind of shorts also helps. Clean, high-quality shorts with a padded inner-lining will reduce pressure on nerves and blood vessels, while minimising the chance of bacterial infection.
A good petroleum-based chamois cream can also make a big difference. Last but not least, cycling shorts are designed be worn without pants, so your bottom will thank you if you leave your smalls at home.

So Anonybrit brought up the point that there may be no good "basics for newbs" material. Now I haven't read the newbie guide or really even looked at the wiki, but on that note I am thinking of making a series of vids (maybe for the wiki if it needs such a thing?) to teach new players the ropes on how to beat the "Normal" dungeons. So that they can get a basis of strategy and especially if someone is stuck and can'only beat hobblers hold or something
Now there is a lot of challenge with doing this and a lot of obstacles to overcome as I want to do it right
1: The biggest obstacle is I don't want to be to spoilery. I don't want to post strategy calling it basics that will take them through to Gaan-Telet (where I am in the game) without going through some of the learning and discovery on their own.
2: The game is extremely varied. Sure I can give generic strats that apply to my current run, but it needs to translate across the board.
3: I am far from the most experienced player and I don't want to give bad info. This might actually work as an advantage as I am closer to being a new player than a vet I still remember the problems I had when I first started playing while vets might take some knowledge for granted or give away too advanced of a strategy. However the possibility of me giving bad info or making mistakes is high
The solution for number 2 is pretty simple: if I do a video for every normal dungeon using different starting classes for each one it will have enough variety that players will hopefully be able to work out what to do in their own circumstances.
The solution for number 3 is to challenge myself a little: I think the best thing here is to do the runs Purist, Faithless, and Miser so I avoid using anything they haven't unlocked. Plus it has the added bonus of maybe putting me in a tough spot or two so they can see how to work through difficult situations (or totally cave don't worry I'll post any fail videos in my regular let's play series)
The real problem is number 1. That, and me wanting general input before it is published leads me to this solution. I am putting the vids up as "unlisted" on youtube so they can only be found by someone who has the link, and I am putting the link here.
I want you guys input, am I being to spoilery? Am I leaving out vital info? Is there something I should do different'y or add? I will put links to videos here as I make them and if there are any suggestions I would love the input. Especially of course from Avatar as he is always an extremely huge help on me improving my personal game (and definitely the reason I got as far as I have as quickly as I have), but all of you guys input is welcome.
If you guys think the vids are good enough maybe we can put up a video tutorial section on the wiki assuming there isn't one already.
Here is a link to the "prototype" vid

People in healthy relationships get and give respect. Healthy relationships make both you and your partner feel good about yourselves and about each other.
According to the Canadian Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists healthy relationships have five qualities. You can remember them because the first word of each quality goes together to make the word S-H-A-R-E. Check them out.
Safety – In a healthy relationship you are not afraid that your partner will harm you emotionally or physically and you aren't tempted to hurt them. You can change your mind about something (including having sex) without feeling afraid.
Honesty – You don't hide anything important from your partner and can say what you think without being put down. You can admit when you are wrong and you expect the other person to do the same.
Acceptance – You can accept the other person as he or she is without trying to "fix" them. You appreciate your partner's unique qualities.
Respect – The respect and think well of each other. You don't feel inferior or superior to your partner in any important ways. You respect each other's right to have different ideas.
Enjoyment – A good relationship also has to be about enjoyment. If it's not enjoyable, why bother? You can play and laugh together a lot of the time. You feel more alive when you are with your partner.

Large outdoor ceiling fans are perfect for circulating airflow in your outdoor space.
Ceiling Fans 52 to 60 Inches
Del Mar Designs offers a superior selection of fan and lighting products, superb customer service, and excellent delivery and return policies that make it the supreme source for all of your home and office needs. Our selection of premium products cover a sizable variety of categories in the arena of fans and lighting, but one particular department where the company really shines is that of ceiling fans 52 to 60 inches in size. Considered to be some of the most commonly found cooling devices around homes across the country, ceiling fans 52 to 60 inches are a great addition if you are in need of extra air flow and lighting. By supplying you with a nice range of fans in this category, we provide you with plenty of flexibility and selection when shopping for Casablanca fans or larger to accommodate specific rooms and open areas.
Size Hunter ceiling fans are not intended for particularly small areas or particularly large ones. They are an ideal match for rooms and open areas of a moderate size, however.

When you also consider our years of experience and expertise in the fan and lighting industry, there is little question as to why we are a leader in fans and lighting.
As you begin your journey through our wide variety of ceiling fans 52 to 60 inches in size, there are several factors that you should consider before making your purchase. The number one factor when shopping for size 52 ceiling fans to size 60 ceiling fans is the room or area size where you plan to install the product. As mentioned, ceiling fans 52 inches to 60 inches are not developed with small or very large rooms or areas in mind. Making the right choice when purchasing your fan from Del Mar Designs will make a big difference in the way in which your target area is cooled. We simplify the process by placing the ideal room sizes for each of its fans on their specific product pages. All you have to do is measure the length and width of the area where you plan to install the fan to calculate its square footage. From there, compare your measurements to those listed on the fan's product page to see if it is the right size for your cooling needs.
Another important factor to keep in mind is any additional features that you may need. Ceiling fans 52 to 60 inches in size are not only great for supplying additional air flow to a room, but they can also add lighting. Many fans in the available selection offer lighting, so be sure to view each product page to see if the fans' size and lighting are sufficient. Enjoy a cooling breeze with ceiling fans with remote for added convenience.

SKF Valve stem seals
If too much oil passes through the lip of the seal, emissions are worsened and coke builds up on the valve, potentially causing the engine to lose power or even fail. If too little oil passes through the lip of the seal, the valve does not receive enough lubrication and will scuff, which ultimately will cause the valve to seize. The ideal metering rate lies between these two extremes.
SKF's high pressure valve stem seals are designed and tested for up to 12 bar pressure which virtually eliminates lip openings during work and minimises blow-by gases.

NUI Galway Online Italian Diploma wins European Language Label
NUI Galway's fully accredited online Diploma in Italian is first of its kind in Ireland
NUI Galway's Diploma in Italian Online, launched in September 2012, has been a major success and has just been awarded the prestigious European Language Label, which recognizes innovation in the field of language teaching and learning.
Italian Studies at NUI, Galway is the first discipline in Ireland to offer a fully accredited Online Diploma in Italian so that it is now possible to study Italian anywhere and any time.
Dr Laura McLoughlin, programme co-ordinator said "unlike many distance learning programmes designed for independent learning, this diploma course is based on a collaborative, communicative approach and students are encouraged to participate in virtual class activities with their peers and e-tutors".
The Diploma is open to everybody and is designed for those who have no previous experience of the language. It is particularly suited to those who need flexibility in their time and mode of study and/or live away from Galway. Basic computer skills are sufficient.
Professor Paolo Bartoloni, Head of Italian at NUI Galway, said "learning Italian provides invaluable transferable skills. There is no doubt that the profile of the professional of the future will be that of a person who can adapt quickly and effectively to new situations and environments, who speaks more than one language, and who is at home in more than one country."
He added "He and she will be mobile, cosmopolitan, and ready to embrace and negotiate different cultures and traditions. We in Italian at NUI Galway are committed to introducing and exploring new technology in the area of second language acquisition, while enhancing learning and teaching flexibility which respond to the needs of the community."
The course concentrates on all four main language skills (listening, speaking, reading and writing) and provides a gradual introduction to the structures of the language. In addition, a module on oral and intercultural skills introduces aspects of Italian life from an intercultural prospective.
Italian is a major language and its culture had and continues to have a central place in the shaping of Europe. Italian is also the language of a vibrant and creative EU country that has made extraordinary contributions to all forms of culture down through the centuries.

Psychology at Wagner
What is Psychology?
…and what do psychologists do?
Psychology is a diverse field that encompasses the study of mind, brain, human and animal behavior, and social interactions. To answer these questions, psychologists engage in experimentation and case studies of both normal and abnormal populations. The results of this work is applied in a variety of fields such as
- education
- business (e.g. human resources, marketing, management, etc.)
- law
- medicine & health sciences
- and more!
Furthermore, clinical and counseling psychology are concerned with the diagnosis and treatment (psychotherapy) of psychological disorders as well as research concerning those disorders. Psychology is distinct from psychiatry which is a field of medicine concerned primarily with treatment of psychological disorder. Here is a list of some specialty areas of psychology.
Psychology is an excellent skills-based major for any career. Traditional careers in psychology usually require some graduate level training (Master's or Doctoral degree) and include clinical work (psychotherapy, clinical social work, counseling, school psychology, psychological assessment/testing, etc.) and experimental work (academic, social, and industry research) among others. Bachelor's degrees in psychology prepare students well for graduate programs in education and law and careers in many areas: management, advertising, human resources, psychological testing, and some types of social work/social services work, among others.

For 43 years, a community of artists have gathered annually to celebrate Jesus, music, the Gospel message and what God has done through the Christian music industry.
This year, that group added Billy Graham to the list.
The 44th GMA Dove Awards—filmed on Oct. 15 at Nashville's Lipscomb University—aired Oct. 21 and feature a tribute to Mr. Graham at a time when his domestic ministry has never been more widespread.
"He's preached in over 400 Crusades in 185 countries and territories and on six continents," Michael W. Smith said, introducing the tribute for Mr. Graham. "And he's still focused on saving souls in America."
Just 17 days before a brand new message from Billy Graham airs nationwide on Fox News and other Christian and network outlets (check here for listings), the program called The Cross is already picking up buzz at the Dove Awards.
Kari Jobe, who is one of 11 Christian artists to collaborate on the My Hope CD, had just watched The Cross and called it "incredible," adding that Billy Graham "impacted my family in a huge way growing up."
Pastor Rick Warren, on hand to present the Dove Award for Worship Album of the Year, called it "Fantastic," and "a great program we need in America today."
Lecrae, who won the Dove Awards for Rap/Hip Hop Album and Song of the Year, is featured in The Cross and explained why he wanted to be a part of the My Hope with Billy Graham evangelistic project.
"There's a kindred spirit between myself and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association," Lecrae said. "I'm very passionate not only to see people come to Christ but to see them connected to the local church."
The Cross, a 30-minute outreach program featuring a new message from Billy Graham, wasfilmed this year at his mountain home. The short film iswoven together with life-changing stories featuring Lacey Sturm, formerly of Flyleaf, and Lecrae.
"I'm just honored to play a small part in the legacy of Billy Graham," Lecrae said.
TobyMac, who won his 2nd Artist of the Year Award, has played a small part as well, dating back to his dcTalk days and playing at numerous Billy Graham Crusades, starting in 1994 in Cleveland.
As a musician who values evangelism, TobyMac loved performing at Crusades, especially knowing Mr. Graham would be coming up on stage after to share about the hope of Christ.
"Think about it, if you can just play your music knowing you have Billy Graham sharing the Gospel behind you, that's easy street," said TobyMac, who's also featured on the My Hope CD: Songs Inspired by the Message and Mission of Billy Graham.
Also featured on the CD are the Newsboys, who lead off the album with "We Believe," which the band played in the second part of the Dove Awards tribute to Mr. Graham.
"It's the believers' creed," said Newsboys lead singer Michael Tait said. "We believe in God the Father. We believe in the Holy Spirit. He's given us new life. It's Billy Graham's message. If Billy Graham were to sing a song, he would sing 'We Believe.' "
Michael W. Smith, who opened the tribute by sharing his thoughts about Mr. Graham, gave perhaps the most apt musical homage with a piano-only version of "Just As I Am," the well-known hymn of invitation used at countless Billy Graham Crusades. As he performed, a slideshow of classic Billy Graham photos flashed on twin jumbo screens.
Myhopewithbillygraham.org, the online nexus of the My Hope with Billy Graham project, flashed on the screens for those wanting more information on how to get involved.
Michael W. Smith—whose song on the My Hope CD "Take Me Home" talks about the numerous conversations he's had with Mr. Graham about heaven—briefly promoted the tribute CD released on Oct. 15, "so greatly inspired by this message."
Want to get involved in My Hope with Billy Graham? It's not too late. Just click on the website and get started.

Obviously we all know that farming for gold is extrememly boring and a waste of time, so I suggest we change the system for preparations. Rather than being able to spend any amount of money on preparations and having it come out of your gold reserve, have a cap on the amount of gold a player can spend on preparations at any time, and not have money spent on preparations come out of your bank. The gold cap would change based on the difficulty of a dungeon, as well as, possibly the number of dungeons a player has cleared or something. (mabye classes for each dungeon). Although if the latter was enabled it would encourage something similar to gold farming, it would still prevent players from having to repeat the same few dungeons for gold farming. Now this would lead to a large increase in the gold reserves each player had, but this could probably be avoided by making all the buildings much more expensive, as well as the cost of adding more slots for preparations. Plus, we could have a way of paying for more locker slots, so that people still have something to spend money on, and are pleased that we have more locker storage.
This suggestion is probably a bit rough, but as a whole I'd like to see it implemented in some way, since gold farming isn't fun, but the only reason I play this game is the because Desktop Dungeons is fun.

Man sentenced for trying to kill girlfriend's father
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A 21-year-old Flagler County man who tried to kill his girlfriend's father was sentenced Friday to 40 years in prison.
Included in William Copeland's sentence is a 25-year minimum-mandatory sentence, which he must serve day for day.
Copeland was convicted last month of attempted first-degree murder with a firearm, a life felony; aggravated battery with a firearm and causing great bodily harm, a first-degree felony; and shooting into a building, a second-degree felony.
In May 2011, Copeland asked an unwitting friend to give him a ride to his girlfriend's house. He rang the doorbell and as his girlfriend answered. He then went to the back of the house and shot her father.

For the filling
Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Grease and line the bottom of a round 21cm loose-bottomed cake tin. With a wooden spoon or electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar together until smooth and a pale, creamy colour. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and cinnamon. One at a time, beat each egg into the butter mixture along with a tbsp of the dry mixture, then beat in the milk and fold in the rest of the dry ingredients until well combined.
In the bowl that contained the flour, mash the bananas until smooth and lump-free – whizz with the electric mixer if needed – then fold into the rest of the mixture until well combined. Spoon into the tin and smooth over the surface. Bake for 45-50 mins, until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Leave to cool for 5 mins, then remove from tin and continue cooling on a wire rack.
Use a serrated knife to cut the cake horizontally into 3 equal layers. Whip the cream until it forms stiff peaks, then chop the banana into small pieces and fold into the cream, along with the marshmallows. On the first layer, spread a generous covering of the dulche de leche, followed by half of the cream mixture. Sandwich the second layer on top and repeat. Thickly spread dulche de leche over the top of the cake, then arrange extra marshmallows around the edge.

Last we heard, Splash Damage's lovely looking squad-based futuristic shooter Brink was coming to the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC in the spring of next year. Unfortunately, it now appears a few more seasons-worth of polish will be needed.
G4's new video preview of Brink ends with a bit of bad news. The Bethesda Softworks-published game is now apparently due in the fall of next year, thinning the spring 2010 crowd by at least one.
While disappointing, after our positive impressions of the game from QuakeCon and E3 helped illustrate what makes Brink interesting, we're always happy to see a game given a bit more time to incubate in the name of getting it right.

read about this on tdpri and can confirm it is a great little move to make for this great pedal.
