HANG TIME HEADQUARTERS — It's rare that we get to examine issues like freedom of speech, civil rights in sports, the ongoing debate about the "N" word being used on the court and field of play and locker rooms and other hot button topics of the day beyond the game of basketball.
Then again, is there a better forum for a closer of examination of those issues and how they impact the broader context of sports than right here? From Jason Collins to Michael Sam to the current state of affairs of the Brooklyn Nets and where they are headed, we've got it all on Epispde 149 of the Hang Time Podcast: The Brooklyn Nets … featuring All-Star swingman Joe Johnson and Brooklyn Bounce author Jake Appleman.
Collins and Sam are breaking new ground in their respective sports, Collins as the first openly gay player to suit up and play in one of the major North American sports and Sam as the first openly gay NFL draft prospect. Collins has history with the Nets, having played for the franchise earlier in his career (during their Finals days) and as a former teammate of Johnson, Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and even Nets coach Jason Kidd.
Our friends at NBAE also provide us with a fantastic look back at All-Star Weekend in Sounds of the Game and the basement gets a new tenant in this week's edition of Braggin' Rights.
You get all of that and more on Episode 149 of the Hang Time Podcast: The Brooklyn Nets … featuring All-Star swingman Joe Johnson and Brooklyn Bounce author Jake Appleman …
As always, we welcome your feedback. You can follow the entire crew, including the Hang Time Podcast, co-hosts Sekou Smith of NBA.com, Lang Whitaker of NBA.com's All-Ball Blog and renaissance man Rick Fox of NBA TV, as well as our new super producer Gregg (just like Popovich) Waigand and the best engineer in the business, Jarell "I Heart Peyton Manning" Wall.

Place of winds
Nouakchott was constructed for 15,000, back in 1958. Now there are 600,000 people living here. This extreme growth has nothing to do with economical growth. It's the recurring droughts in Sahara the last 10-20 years, that have forced young people, families and small communities into leaving their traditional ways of living.
Nouakchott, by far the largest city of Sahara, exhibits all the problems of Mauritania. Some people are rich, but inadequate living conditions and slum are dominating, unlike what is normal to the Muslim world. Nouakchott is one of the Arabic cities having most of social problems.
But Nouakchott has a lot of charm, and is not a dangerous place. This city, stretching for kilometres in northern direction, has a laid back atmosphere. People are very friendly, and there are almost just as many women in the streets as there are men, and there are few signs of limitations to their freedom.
When you're here, you'll end up walking in the streets, and go down to the endless beach. Inside Nouakchott, the city centre is active and with entertaining market activities going on, mainly in the early hours of the day. The Cinqui�me district is an even better market, where handicrafts can be seen or bought. Prices are high here, and the handicrafts, being of very good quality, are unfortunately not worth the price. Of buildings to be seen, Nouakchott is too young to offer anything of high age. The mosque donated by Saudi Arabia in the town centre, is impressive. So is the Moroccan one, further south.
Nouakchott deserves to have its sunny side exposed as well, and the Tavragh Zayna and Las Palmas areas, less than half a kilometre northwest of the town centre, indicate what the good life in Mauritania can be like. Huge and impressive villas, can be seen from a distance, behind walls and gates.
The national museum of Nouakchott offers historical and ceramic exhibitions, and should be visited for anyone who stays in Nouakchott for more than a couple of days.

Profile: Patricia Quist-Therson
Title: Owner & Designer of Quistt Dezign
Website: Quistt Dezign
Facebook: Quistt Dezign
Savvy Sistah Patricia Quist-Therson, a native Ghanaian studied Architecture at New Jersey Institute of Technology and moved to Memphis, Tn in 2007. The urge to design clutch purses emerged when she started working on interior design projects. She had a lot of samples from upholstery fabrics, vinyl wall-coverings to laminate samples. Not wanting any to go to waste, she began to think of innovative ways to creating unique pieces with the samples instead of it being sent to the land fills. She started exploring ways of reusing the upholstery fabrics and as a result, gave birth to Quistt Dezign. All of the items are handmade, with a piece of her heart in it and content 50%-80% recyclable material.
Patricia has taken her gift & talent for design and eye for textiles to create a stylish and chic collection of designer clutch purses.
What inspired you to start designing your own line of clutch purses?
I am Architect by profession, working on interior design projects. The nature of my work allows me to explore ways of incorporating color and texture in a given space. Most of the material samples selected are unique to each project, what is left then becomes waste. Since the world is going GREEN, I started thinking of innovative ways of creating unique pieces, and as a result of that, Quistt Designs emerged. I started exploring how to use samples of upholstery fabrics into making clutch purses and other design forms like earrings, necklaces etc.
How do you incorporate your Ghanaian roots into your designs?
I draw inspiration from the Kente cloth, an elegant piece of Ghanaian culture crafted with vibrant colors and artist expressions. This is clearly translated in my use of color and fabric.
You're designing purses now; do you have any plans to expand your line into other markets?
Well it's funny you should ask, am actually in the middle of coming out with a clothing line and jewelry collection in spring 2012, God willing.
What lessons have you learned since starting your business?
It's very challenging, sometimes you even doubt yourself. But what keeps me motivated is that, the people who have made it are not afraid of failure. Business demands risks and big risks yield great results. Learn from criticism and use the positive to improve yourself.
What advice would you give to other women who have a desire to start a business?
Well I would say first, buy yourself a nice notepad and begin to jot down all your thoughts, start researching and looking for people who have gone on that path and have made it. Once you have the background work down, just DIVE into it with a leap of faith.
Why are you a Savvy Sistah?
I am confident and self-motivated, and go after what I set my mind to do with the help of God. I don't see an attempt that does not work as a failure….it means that having a different approach next time will yield different results.
Patricia Quist-Therson is an innovative & creative designer and the Savvy Sistah in the Spotlight.

Dunkin' Brands (NASDAQ:DNKN) said Thursday it signed franchise deals that will bring its namesake restaurants to London, as the company moves forward with expansion plans.
Continue Reading Below
The Canton, Mass.-based chain, which also owns Baskin-Robbins, signed franchise agreements with Court Group and DDMG to develop 50 Dunkin' Donuts restaurants in Greater London over the next five years.
The expansion into the U.K. marks Dunkin' Donuts' return after leaving the country in the mid-nineties.
Dunkin' also said it's in advanced talks with other franchise partners. Those deals would bring the five-year total to 150 U.K. restaurants.
The restaurants there will offer coffees, teas, frozen drinks, and espresso-based beverages, as well as donuts, muffins, croissants and sandwiches. Regional menu items will also be featured, the company said.
In an interview last year, Dunkin' Brands CEO Nigel Travis told the Telegraph, a U.K. newspaper, that he believed Dunkin' Donuts' breakfast items, donuts and "slightly milder" coffee could appeal to people who visit Starbucks (NASDAQ:SBUX) or McDonald's (NYSE:MCD).
Dunkin' already has 100 of its Baskin-Robbins ice cream shops in the U.K.
"We feel there is significant opportunity for Dunkin' Donuts in the UK, and we have had a tremendous response from potential franchisees interested in developing the brand across the country," Giorgio Minardi, President of Dunkin' Brands International, said in a statement.
Dunkin' Donuts will compete in the U.K. with rival Krispy Kreme Doughnuts (NYSE:KKD), which has been in the country for several years.
Dunkin's latest move to expand internationally follows an announced return to Russia, which it exited in 1999. The company unveiled plans in 2010 to open 20 restaurants in Moscow.
The chain has also begun to expand domestically into western U.S. states, planning a return to California starting in 2015.
Shares closed Wednesday at $43.76, up 31.9% so far this year.

VISEGRAD/SARAJEVO Bosnia (Reuters) - Two concerts in two Bosnian cities will mark the 100th anniversary on Saturday of the Sarajevo assassination that lit the fuse for World War One, in a divided country where the past still haunts the present.
The separate events speak volumes to Bosnia a century on, where perceptions of the Bosnian Serb who gunned down Archduke Franz Ferdinand have been warped by time and politics, and wounds are still raw from the bloody demise of Yugoslavia.
In the capital, where the heir to the Habsburg throne was shot with a Browning gun on a summer's morning in 1914, the Vienna Philharmonic will play Haydn, Schubert, Brahms and Ravel in remembrance of the murder that triggered the march to war and turned out the lights on an age of European peace and progress.
To the east, in the Drina river town of Visegrad, Serbia's premiere orchestra will perform Vivaldi's summer concerto in tribute to Gavrilo Princip, to Serbs a hero whose act brought down the curtain on centuries of occupation over the Balkans.
Leaders of Serbia and the Bosnian Serbs have refused to join the Sarajevo events, saying Bosnia's Muslim Bosniaks and Catholic Croats want to paint Princip as a nationalist terrorist and the Orthodox Serbs as guilty for the wars that opened and closed the 20th century.
Instead, they will unveil a mosaic of Princip and his collaborators in Visegrad, where actors will re-enact Ferdinand's murder and the trial of his 19-year-old assassin, who died in jail of tuberculosis months before World War One ended.
The assassination "began the liberation from serfdom and slavery", filmmaker Emir Kusturica, organizer of the Visegrad events, told Reuters. "I don't know why everyone would mark the day in the same place when they look on it so differently."
The row threatens to drown out those hoping to send a message of unity; Saturday's events in Sarajevo will close with an open-air musical bringing together 280 performers from across Europe, including Serbs, under the title "A Century of Peace after the Century of Wars".
"We would like to symbolically start a new century with an artistic act about peace and love," said director Haris Pasovic.
"We represent a younger generation," said Serbian drama student Uros Mladenovic. "These people are carried along by the same basic idea – the victory of peace and life over all the bad things that have happened."
Austrian President Heinz Fischer is expected to head a list of dignitaries mainly from around the region. Much of the commemoration is sponsored by France.
With the unity and prosperity of Europe tested by economic and social strife, leaders of the 28-member European Union meet on Thursday in Ypres, a city synonymous with the death and suffering of World War One.
On Saturday, the Vienna Philharmonic will perform in Sarajevo's City Hall, where Ferdinand and his wife, Sophie, attended a reception shortly before their murder.
The Austro-Hungarians attacked Serbia a month later and the Great Powers - already spoiling for a fight - piled in. More than 10 million soldiers died as empires crumbled and the map of Europe was redrawn.
Converted into the National Library in 1949, the neo-Moorish City Hall, known as Vijecnica, went up in flames in 1992 during a 43-month siege by Bosnian Serbs in the hills. Almost two million books were destroyed. A plaque denounces the "Serb criminals" responsible.
Painstakingly restored, the building was reopened in May and will host its first event on Saturday. But Serbs are sensitive to any perceived link between the wars of 1914-18 and 1992-95.
"I thought about going to Sarajevo," Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic told reporters. But, he said, "I was supposed to stand beside a plaque that speaks of the 'Serbian fascist aggressors'. Sorry, with all due respect, I cannot do that."
Many Bosniaks and Croats see the Austro-Hungarian occupation as a period of progress and Princip as a Serb nationalist driven by the same territorial ambitions as those behind the ethnic cleansing of the 1990s. Occupation was replaced after the Great War by domination from Belgrade under the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.
After World War Two, under socialist Yugoslavia, Princip was officially revered as a liberation fighter for all the nations and faiths brought together under Josip Broz Tito.
But Yugoslavia's disintegration in the 1990s, spawning seven new states, shattered perceptions of the assassin.
Footprints in the pavement marking the spot from which he fired were dug up, with Sarajevans living under sniper fire and mortars fired by Bosnian Serbs trying to carve out an ethnically pure Serb statelet.
The war, fomented by Serbia and Croatia, killed 100,000 people, the large majority of them Bosniaks. Mass graves are still being unearthed.
Princip's family home in northwest Bosnia was razed, but rebuilt this year by Serbs who plan to open it as a museum. Serb-held East Sarajevo will unveil a statue of the assassin.
The peace deal that ended the 1992-95 war split Bosnia into two highly autonomous regions, divvying up power along ethnic lines in a system that critics say has only cemented divisions.
Political leaders play up differences, despite a greater apparent readiness among Bosnians to move on.
Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik, who frequently threatens Serb secession, told reporters: "In suffering and in celebration, we've always been on different sides. It speaks to Bosnia's past, but also to its present."

Second Time Often Not a Charm When It Comes to HIV Treatment, Study Finds
October 26, 2012
Failure rates are high for HIV-infected people on second-line combination antiretroviral therapy, even among those who have suppressed viral loads when they switch, according to a study presented at IDWeek 2012. However, second-line failures decreased by 60% between 1996 and 2010, which testifies to the improvements in potency, convenience and safety of antiretrovirals during that period.
"Whether it's due to pre-existing drug resistance, toxicity or tolerance, first ART [antiretroviral therapy] has its limits," said study presenter Joseph J. Eron, M.D., a professor of medicine at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill and the director of the clinical core of the University of North Carolina Center for AIDS Research. In the U.S., 20% of people with HIV who begin treatment modify or discontinue their first-line therapy within six months, Eron said; at two years, 50% of patients have done so. However, there have been no strong trials of second-line ART in resource-rich settings, he said.
In their study, Eron and colleagues analyzed data from patients in HIV clinical programs at Johns Hopkins University, the University of North Carolina and Vanderbilt University who had received both first- and second-line ART between 1996 and 2010. "These people had to at least switch their anchor drug and be followed at least eight weeks; all of these patients had to fail their first-line therapy to be included in the study," Eron explained. Of about 15,000 patients among all three cohorts, only 488 qualified to have their data analyzed in the study, he said.
Of the 488 HIV-infected patients, 67% were black, 32% were women, and 34% had a history of AIDS diagnosis. Of the patients, 49% received an NNRTI-based first regimen, 34% received an unboosted protease inhibitor-based regimen and 19% received a boosted protease inhibitor-based regimen.
Of the patients, 305 had switched to a second-line regimen with a viral load of 400 copies or more, while 183 (37.5%) switched with a viral load below 400 copies (considered "undetectable" for the purposes of this study), Eron reported. Among those who had a detectable viral load at the time of the switch, 17% experienced virological failure within six months, he said. Surprisingly, failure rates were also relatively high among patients with an undetectable viral load at the time of the switch: 12% of those patients experienced virological failure within six months of the switch, Eron said.
However, experience improved over the lengthy course of the study. Between June of 1996, the first year of the study, and June of 2010, the rate of second-line cART failure decreased by almost 60%, Eron said.
It did not appear to make a difference if patients with an undetectable viral load switched regimens when their viral load was 50 or 200 rather than 400, nor did the sequence of regimens used by the patient affect time to virological failure on second-line ART, he said.
Second-line failure occurred considerably earlier if viral load was detectable at the time of switching therapies. For those with detectable viral load at the time of the switch, patients had an average of 605 days to virological failure, compared to more than 1,500 days if their disease was undetectable at the time of the switch to second-line ART, Eron said. The finding was statistically significant (P = 0.001).
The timing of the switch to second-line ART occurred earlier in those who switched with viral loads of 400 and higher: an average of 520 days, compared to 670 days in those with lower viral (P = 0.01). Of the patient population, 38% had viral loads below 400 copies when they switched regimens.
"The study was limited by the difficulty of finding eligible patients," Eron said. "We had hoped to look at the effect of switching from one regimen to the other, but it was futile due to the limited sample size, so very large collaborations will be necessary" to confirm the findings.

Brown Announces San Diego Airport Emissions Agreement
SAN DIEGO--California Attorney General Edmund G. Brown Jr. today announced that the San Diego Airport is taking "a key leadership role" in the fight against global warming by agreeing to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from its major airport expansion.
"Under this agreement, the San Diego airport will play a key leadership role in helping California meet its aggressive greenhouse gas reduction targets," said Attorney General Brown who entered into the agreement today. "This agreement is another example of how, in the absence of federal action, local government is leading the fight against global warming," Brown added.
"This agreement underscores the Airport Authority's commitment to sustainability in overseeing airport operations and capital developments at Lindbergh Field," said Alan D. Bersin, Chairman of the Airport Authority Board. "And we're proud to be one of the first major airports in the country to have adopted a comprehensive Sustainability Policy – in February of this year – which also reinforces our commitment to becoming a more sustainable organization."
The San Diego Airport is the busiest single-runway airport in the nation. Passenger travel at the airport is expected to grow approximately 2.8% per year for the next 25 years. To accommodate this growth, the airport is planning to construct ten additional gates, new overnight jet parking, expanded taxiways and a proposed 5,000 space parking structure.
In an effort to reduce some of the emissions from this expansion, the airport has agreed to incorporate measures, such as green building certification and alternative energy airport shuttles, into its thirty-year master plan. Some of the measures that the airport will adopt include:
• Groundside power at new and refurbished gates, hangars and cargo facilities to allow airplanes on the ground to use electricity without having to run on-board engines which emit diesel particulate, NOx and greenhouse gases.
• Replacement of aircraft pushback tractors, upon the end of their useful life, with electric or alternative-fuel vehicles.
• Transition of airport shuttles to electric or alternative-fuel vehicles.
• Use of cool roofs, solar panels and cool pavement for new buildings and paved areas.
• Assurance that new terminal facilities will obtain a green building certification from a third party appraiser.
The airport will also inventory all greenhouse gas emissions attributable to aircraft ground movements and commit to recommending ways to reduce those emissions 20% by 2015.
Under federal law, only the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Federal Aviation Administration have authority to regulate the emissions from aircraft. In December, Brown filed a petition asking the EPA to regulate aircraft greenhouse gases but the agency has refused to take any action.
The Global Warming Solutions Act, AB 32, requires California to cut greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by 2020, but the rules and market mechanisms will not take effect until 2012. Attorney General Brown has worked with local governments and businesses across California to help these entities reduce their greenhouse gas emissions thereby making it easier for the state to reach its reduction target.
Last year, Brown reached a landmark settlement with San Bernardino County which established a greenhouse gas reduction plan that identifies sources of emissions and sets reduction targets. Brown also reached an agreement with ConocoPhillips which offsets greenhouse gases attributable to an oil refinery expansion in Contra Costa County. The Port of Los Angeles also reached an agreement with the attorney general which identifies and reduces greenhouse gas emissions generated from port operations.
Attorney General Brown frequently updates the California Department of Justice Website to provide information that helps local agencies join the fight against global warming: http://ag.ca.gov/globalwarming/ceqa.php
Brown's Memorandum of Understanding with the San Diego Airport Authority is attached.

Cruel injury blow for Gunner Diaby
Arsenal midfielder Abou Diaby faces a lay-off of up to nine months after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.
The 26-year-old France international faces an operation on the injury, which he suffered in training on Wednesday.
A club statement confirmed: "Abou Diaby injured his left knee in training on Wednesday and subsequent scans have confirmed that he has torn his anterior cruciate ligament. Following consultations with specialists, Abou will undergo surgery to repair the injury in the near future. Abou is expected to be out for around eight to nine months."
The statement continued: "The thoughts and best wishes from everyone at Arsenal are with Abou, and we all wish him a successful recovery."
Even before this latest setback, Diaby's spell in north London had been blighted by injuries ever since he joined from Auxerre in 2006 as a 19-year-old.
The commanding midfielder suffered a fractured and dislocated ankle in May of that year and recorded only 27 Barclays Premier League appearances over the next two seasons.
He eventually established himself as a regular presence in the Gunners' midfield, scoring seven times in 40 appearances in all competitions in 2010-11.
But he was restricted to only five appearances last season due to a string of injuries, including ankle and calf problems, and has played only 16 games in the current campaign.
The news on Diaby adds to manager Arsene Wenger's mounting injury problems.
Jack Wilshere is currently recovering from an ankle problem and Wenger must also do without forward Theo Walcott against Reading this weekend after he returned home early from international duty with a pelvic injury, while Kieran Gibbs is doubtful due to a virus.

Apple: A Low-Price '4C' Conceivable, Says Bernstein, If the Will Is There
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
In the wake of last week's unveiling by Apple (AAPL) of two new iPhones, neither of which was priced as cheaply as Wall Street had been hoping, Bernstein Research's Toni Sacconaghi today poses the question of whether Apple is "philosophically opposed to a low-priced phone," or whether the Street simply got ahead of itself and something will show up later on.
Apple stock today is off $13.05, or 2.8%, at $451.80, amidst ongoing speculation about how the two new models, the iPhone 5C, and the iPhone 5S, may fare as they go on sale this Friday.
In fact, Sacconaghi, who has an Outperform rating on the stock, and a $600 price target, does think the company may yet offer a lower-priced phone, which he terms an "iPhone 4C."
Sacconaghi thinks Apple could make the simpler of the two new phones, the iPhone 5C, into a "4C" by using lesser components:
We believe Apple could have achieved a low price iPhone selling for $400 or less with 30%+ gross margins that looked like the iPhone 5C on the outside, but with iPhone 4 components. We believe this combination would have allowed the low price phone to look new (colorful, 4" screen), instead of three years old, with the component savings potentially lowering the BOM by >20%. Further, an iPhone 4 has specs that are still solid for a mid-tier phone in emerging and prepaid markets, but differentiated enough to discourage customers in developed markets from trading down from either the iPhone 5S or 5C. Moreover, such a device would have required little to no incremental investment for Apple to manufacture, provided a further test of price elasticity for its offerings, and could have been discontinued/phased out at any point had Apple been disappointed in its performance. We see the principal areas of component savings for an iPhone 4C potentially coming on the plastic casing and screen, which should both also help improve yields, with other areas including 3G only cellular, an A5 processor, a lower spec camera and 8 GB NAND and 512 MB DRAM (typical for gen- 2 iPhones) [….] Pricing the iPhone 4C at $400 would lead to 30+% gross margins, while $375 would leave gross margins slightly below 30%. That said, we note that Apple is currently selling the iPhone 4S at an average price of $441 internationally (Exhibit 1again), and that the iPhone 4 is still available in China for ~$340, tax and FX adjusted - both data points suggest that our GM analysis might be conservative for the iPhone 4C. Interestingly, the iPhone 4 is only selectively available now (i.e., it will not become Apple's low priced phone), as we have not found it to be available in 5S/5C launch countries (except China). After asking Apple, it is our understanding that this is to eliminate inventory, and that Apple will not be continuing ongoing production. Accordingly, we would not be surprised to see global iPhone 4 inventory (perhaps a few million iPhones) being shipped into China.
Sacconaghi asks if Apple is focused on being a high-end niche vendor, if the timing simply was not right for a lower-priced device:
The fact that it has not to date, while seeing Android inexorably take share, raises the question about whether Apple either can't develop a low priced offering that it is "proud of," and/or that it is simply focused on gross margin percentage over gross margin dollars, and is philosophically obdurate about abandoning its luxury positioning in the market (a la Bentley or Porsche in the car market). Did investors get a head-fake? On the flip side, it is also possible that the timing was not right for a low price iPhone last week, and that waiting several months to do so would make sense on multiple dimensions: (1) its distribution agreement with China Mobile may not be fully in place now, although one expect that both parties would likely want to begin selling the phone in advance of Chinese New Year at the end of January; (2) production capacity is most likely to be constrained over the next few months, making it more difficult for Apple to produce incremental volumes; (3) launching a lower priced phone later will help smooth the inevitably strong seasonality associated with iPhone product cycles; (4) delaying the launch of a "4C" type offering would allow Apple to skim higher price, higher margin customers in the interim.
As far as the shares, Sacconaghi writes that the stock is still worth a buy given that fiscal Q1 (December) estimates are "achievable" and given a low valuation of 7.5 times enterprise value as a multiple of free cash flow.

Time for a bump... As per the Forceast this week, with DD, it sounds like Lucasfilm has relaxed their strict non-realistic stance on the Clone Wars line...However Hasbro says nothing before 2012... Wouldn't be massive influx. One at a time, key characters. Should be on Vintage cards, barring anything changing.
I'm psyched... No, seriously, I am.I wanted realistic from the get-go. Hasbro confirmed back at Toy Fair they were doing realistic figures from CW in the line, so I wouldn't say it's just getting confirmed now... Real news would've been confirming WHO they're doing.But like Jeff said, this was seen a mile away.They showed a great realistic Anakin to us back a while... I forget if it was us who asked the "realistic Clone Wars" questions back then, but that Anakin has stuck in my head ever since I saw it.For me, this is huge though. What I'd like to see?-Anakin... There is no CW Anakin in that outfit, with that hair. I'm excited to add it to the collection. I want an Ani as he appears for most of the war.-Obi-Wan... Obi's mostly like his ROTS character, simply in his partial armor. Like Anakin, I'm all for giving that a go. I was going to try my own custom of him but this saves that.-Ahsoka... Definitely. I want both her young and maturing look too.-Rex... Ideally, we'll get both helmets. Rex was going to be a bitch of a custom to do, with all the paint details on his armor.-Cody... Early War Cody? I'm all for it.-Clone Repaints... I'll take them.I don't foresee them doing too many secondary characters, but I could see a new Assajj coming out, possibly some of the secondary Clones will get unique headsculpts in the realistic style too. I'd be all for seeing that stuff. I don't expect to see Whorm Loathsome, or Ziro the Hutt... Not even sure they'll risk Cad Bane (Duros look generally thin anyway, so I like the last Bane that came with TODO as a realistic figure. Even the Deluxe looks pretty realistic).I've passed on MOST animated figures. I don't own any Anakin, and I think I only own Obi-Wan from a Freeco bike... A few pack-in Clones here and there. Eh... I've largely avoided animated except for droids like the IG-86 droid, or Yularren's on clearance for the table. I'm definitely interested in these realistic CW figures though, and how Hasbro can do them in the realistic line. That Anakin sculpt is stuck in my mind, and it was incredible looking.Oh, and an "adventurer outfit" Padme wouldn't hurt either.
Is anyone REALLY clamoring for a realistic Pre Vizsla?
I'd rather be able to find figures I want over expecting figures I don't.

HIV Testing
July 23, 2014
Table of Contents
What Is HIV Testing?
HIV testing tells you if you are infected with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) that causes AIDS. Most of these tests look for "antibodies" to HIV. Antibodies are proteins produced by the immune system to fight a specific germ. Newer HIV tests can also look for signs of the virus itself in the blood.
People who already know they are infected with HIV might get other "HIV" tests. These measure how much virus is in the blood (a viral load test, see Fact Sheet 125) or the strength of your immune system (a CD4 count, see Fact Sheet 124).
How Do I Get Tested?
You can arrange for HIV testing at any Public Health office, or at your doctor's office. Test results are usually available within two weeks. In the US, call the National AIDS Hotline, (800) 342-2437.
The most common HIV test is a blood test. Newer tests can detect HIV antibodies in mouth fluid (not the same as saliva), a scraping from inside the cheek, or urine. "Rapid" HIV test results are available within 10 to 30 minutes after a sample is taken. In November 2010 the FDA approved the INSTI test, which gives results within 60 seconds. In 2012, the FDA approved the first true "in-home" HIV test. It uses a mouth swab and shows results in 20 to 40 minutes. A positive result on any HIV test should be confirmed with a second test at a health care facility.
Who Should Get Tested?
Many people are infected with HIV but don't know it. You might not feel sick or have any health problems. But you can still pass HIV to other people. Anyone who is sexually active should get tested regularly for HIV. In 2013, a US panel of experts recommended that everyone between the ages of 15 and 65 and all pregnant women be tested, even if they have no known risks of HIV infection. This should make it easier for the cost of the test to be reimbursed by insurance companies.
When Should I Get Tested?
If you are infected with HIV, it usually takes from three weeks to two months for your immune system to produce HIV antibodies. During this "window period" you can test "negative" for HIV even if you are infected. If you think you were exposed to HIV, you should wait for two months before being tested. You can also test right away and then again after two or three months. If you are infected, you can transmit HIV to others during the window period even if you test negative. In fact, during this period of early infection, you have the greatest chance of passing HIV infection to others.
About 5% of people take longer than two months to produce antibodies. Testing at 3 and 6 months after possible exposure will detect almost all HIV infections. However, there are no guarantees as to when an individual will produce enough antibodies to be detected by an HIV test. If you have any unexplained symptoms, talk with your health care provider and consider re-testing for HIV.
Do Any Tests Work Sooner After Infection?
Viral load tests detect pieces of HIV genetic material. They show up before the immune system manufactures antibodies.
In 2010 the FDA approved a new blood test that detects both antibodies to HIV and HIV antigens (pieces of the virus). This "fourth generation" test can detect HIV infection sooner than antibody tests alone.
What Does It Mean if I Test Positive?
A positive test result means that you have HIV antibodies, and are infected with HIV. This can be a very difficult time. Be sure to get information and help. See Fact Sheet 201, "How Do I Start?"
Testing positive does not mean that you have AIDS (see Fact Sheet 101, What is AIDS?). Many people who test positive stay healthy for several years, even if they don't start taking medication right away.
If you test negative six months after you think you were exposed to HIV and if there is no chance you were exposed to HIV since then, you are not infected with HIV. Continue to protect yourself from HIV infection (see Fact Sheet 150, Stopping the Spread of HIV).

In the limit of a 1 byte message, the inverse of the latency is the worst-case bandwidth for repeatedly sending 1 byte. On a GBE system with a latency of say 50 usecs your worst case bandwidth is 20 KB/sec :-(. This is mostly a hardware number. If you add in other contributors to the latency things get worse. As message size shrinks latency eventually dominates the transfer time ... the larger the latency the sooner this happens. Under the heading of "everything is just another form of something else", the distinction between latency and bandwidth gets muddy as latency grows relative to message size. [Reminds of that mass <--> energy thing ... ;-) ... E = MC**2] On the other hand, if you can manage your message sizes, keep the latency piece a small percentage of the message transit time, and have good bandwidth you may not care what the latency is. Pushing up data volumes per node imply larger surfaces to communicate which imply larger messages. These transfers can be hidden behind compute cycles. Of course, one has to worry about faster processors shrinking compute cycles. There are better more detailed analyses in the archives as I recall. rbw #--------------------------------------------------- # Richard Walsh # Project Manager, Cluster Computing, Computational # Chemistry and Finance # netASPx, Inc. # 1200 Washington Ave. So. # Minneapolis, MN 55415 # VOX: 612-337-3467 # FAX: 612-337-3400 # EMAIL: rbw at networkcs.com, richard.walsh at netaspx.com # rbw at ahpcrc.org # #--------------------------------------------------- # To minimize is human, to anneal divine. # --Tin from Metal Men Comics #---------------------------------------------------

Since Mac OS X 10.8 software has to be signed to be installed without problems with Gatekeeper. As we are not able nor willing to pay for signing TV-Browser, you need to disable the Gatekeeper before installing TV-Browser. After successfully installing TV-Browser you can enable it again.
There are two options to disable Gatekeeper, at least the complete deactivation should work if option one will not:
Note: Since we are unable to create the OS X version of TV-Browser we need someone to send it to us, so the OS X version of TV-Browser is mostly delayed for some time after release of the other platform versions, so look here again in some days if only the former version is available here:

NPR quotes Louis Weiss, M.D., M.P.H., on the importance of understanding health risks and travel advisories before planning a vacation. Dr. Weiss is professor of medicine and of pathology and co-director of Einstein's Global Health Center.(Friday, June 29, 2018)
CBSNews.com interviews Lou Weiss, M.D., M.P.H., about a new blood test that determines whether a person's respiratory illness is caused by virus or bacteria. Dr. Weiss explains that the test, which provides results in only 12 hours, has the potential to be extremely beneficial because it can help with diagnosis and prevent doctors from giving unnecessary antibiotics, which drives the growing problem of antibiotic resistance. Dr. Weiss is professor of pathology and of medicine at Einstein.(Tuesday, September 24, 2013)
Reuters reports that a common parasite is linked to self-harm and suicide in women, although Lou Weiss, M.D., M.P.H., notes that the overall risk remains low. Dr. Weiss remarks that because toxoplasma gondii resides in the brain, there has long been a suspicion it affects human behavior.

Tote 4 Me
I really wanted a new purse. My old one really needed a wash, and there were a few things that really bugged me about it. I have been eyeing Anna's 241 Tote for a while, and finally bought my pattern and made one. I actually made it before we moved, but like many things, I forgot to blog about it!
Here it is from the back:
My sister-in-law gave me the fun polka dot twill fabric. It matched some left over chambray I had from Dolly's skirt. The teal came from a giveaway I won. I think they work well together! The lining is a light blue Kona cotton. I already had the zippers, snap, and findings on hand. I added two snap clips into seams. The first in an outer pocket to hang onto my keys.
The second I tucked just inside the strap to hang onto my cell phone cozy.
I did add some reinforcement in the lining where the magnetic snap would go. On my last purse attempt, the fabric puckered around the snap, and it really annoyed me. I actually interfaced a piece of fabric, and then stitched it in place.
I also made a small pocket to hold business cards. Here is the cell phone cozy. I used my tutorial HERE. For some reason, this did not come together easily at all. I think I picked it out and resewed it at least twice.
I really loved Anna's pattern. My favorite part? The strap doesn't slide off my shoulder. I have funky shoulders where everything slides off, including my bra strap. Bottom line, if you're in the market for a great purse/tote pattern, try Anna's. Sometimes you need to get in a little selfish sewing.
Sharing with Creation Corner, Just a Girl, Freckled Laundry, and KoJoDesigns.

The Secrets of the DNA
Charles Darwin
Karl Marx
Sigmund Freud
Some important developments in June 2000 accelerated this great collapse of materialism.
First, scientists carrying out experiments to exceed the speed of light made a discovery which turned all scientific premises upside down. In an experiment in which the speed of light was exceeded many times, the scientists observed with astonishment that the effect of the experiment occurred before its cause. This was the defeat of the claim of "causality" that was put forward on the basis of materialist views, in the 19th century. The subject was outlined in a newspaper under the headline "It has been proved that effect without cause is possible and that the end of an event can happen before its beginning". Indeed, the occurrence of the effect of an action before the action that seems to be its cause, is scientific evidence that all events are created individually. This totally demolishes the materialist dogma.
The pre-Socratic Greek philosophers evidently received their concepts of evolutionary cos - mogony from the even more ancient religious leaders of Egypt and Babylonia or Sumeria. The Sumerian tablets at the left are based on the superstitious belief of that time and refer to the imaginary stages in man's creation.
A few weeks later, it was revealed that Archaeopteryx, a fossil bird presented as "the most important fossil evidence" by Darwinists for more than a century, was actually not evidence for, but a blow to the theory. When another fossil, some 75 million years older than this fossil which was allegedly the "primitive ancestor of birds", and no different from modern birds, was discovered, evolutionists were shocked. On June 25th, 2000, even a journal which used to present Archaeopteryx as the "primitive ancestor of birds" was obliged to report the news item headlined "The Ancestor of Birds Proved to be a Bird".
Finally, the Human Genome Project, an attempt to draft a rough map of the human genome, was concluded and the details of the "genetic information", which highlighted how superior God's creation of living beings is, have been revealed to mankind. Today, everyone who considers the results of this project and finds out that a single human cell contains enough information to be stored in thousands of encyclopaedia pages, grasps what a great miracle of creation this is.
Nevertheless, evolutionists try to misinterpret this recent development, which, in truth, works against them, and present it as evidence for "evolution". Unable to explain even how the DNA chain of a tiny bacterium originated, evolutionists try to deliver messages such as "human genes resemble animal genes". Such messages are inaccurate and have no scientific value. They are designed to mislead society. Meanwhile, some press institutions, both because of their ignorance on the subject and their prejudiced approach, suppose that the Human Genome Project provides "evidence of evolution" and try to present it that way.
In this booklet, the abovementioned evolutionist misconceptions are explained and the irrational and shallow nature of the objections raised to creation are clarified. In addition, the severity of the blow the recent findings have struck against Darwinism is explicitly revealed.
When you read this book, you, too, will see that materialist philosophy which rejects God is about to meet its end and that in the 21st century, humanity will return to the real purpose of their creation by being relieved of deceits such as evolution.

Peter Rindisbacher
Canadian (born in Switzerland), 1806–1834
A Halfcast with his Wife and Child, c. 1825
watercolour, ink on paper
21.5 x 26.5 cm Image: 16.5 x 21.7 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Acquired with financial assistance from the National Museums of Canada
Canada's earliest immigrant artists sought to capture the strangeness of North American colonial life and the particular physical conditions of a new environment. In A Half-cast with his Wife and Child, Peter Rindisbacher depicts a family grouping near the Red River settlement on the Manitoba prairies. The scene demonstrates the cultural melding that had taken place between the Aboriginal peoples and French fur traders, resulting in a new, distinct group known as the Metis. Often represented as a land brimming with promise, the reality of North American settlement was often quite arduous. Soon after painting this work, Rindisbacher left the Red River settlement which had suffered crop failure and a devastating flood.

Let's not forget our veterans of World War I
The last doughboy, Frank Buckles, spent his final years enjoying his West Virginia farm and battling valiantly to do something important for the comrades who passed on before him. Now it appears his modest dream is about to be crushed.
Buckles was the last of about 4.7 million Americans who served in the military during World War I. He died last year at 110 years of age. The very last veteran of the Great War from any country, an English woman, died in February.
During his last years at his farm near Charles Town, Buckles fought his last battle. He believed those with whom he went "over there" deserved a monument in Washington, D.C. Although a memorial to veterans of the District of Columbia exists, the nation's capital has no monument honoring all Americans who served in what they and many others hoped would be the war to end wars.
Veterans of other major conflicts are honored with monuments in Washington. Buckles was right to wonder why those with whom he served were not recognized in a similar manner.
There is a National World War I Museum and accompanying Liberty Memorial in Kansas City, Mo. But again, there is nothing in our nation's capital to memorialize the generation that made the United States a major player on the world stage – at the cost of 116,516 Americans, among millions of others worldwide.
A bill has been introduced in Congress to fulfill Buckles' wish – and to do the right thing.
But recently, a bill fast-tracked through the Senate by Missouri's two senators threatened to shelve the Buckles Bill, as it had been named. The new measure would provide only for creation of a centennial commission to determine how to commemorate World War I (1914-18). It would not provide for the memorial Buckles sought.
Indeed there ought to be a centennial observance.
But there also should be a memorial to all the nation's World War I veterans in Washington.
The cost of such a monument would be comparatively small, so money is not the problem. What is?
We simply don't know. Neither did the last doughboy. He thought – naively, it now appears – that Americans could at least put politics aside to honor its World War I veterans.
Was he wrong?


text: Thursday, June 16, 2011 New in the Literature: Pediatric Spinal Cord Injury (Spinal Cord. 2011 Mar 22. [Epub ahead of print]) Cycling with and without electrical stimulation may be beneficial for skeletal health in children with spinal cord injury (SCI), but further research is needed with a larger sample size, say authors of an article published online March 22 in Spinal Cord. This randomized clinical trial was conducted in a children's hospital specializing in pediatric SCI. A total of 30 children, aged 5-13 years, with chronic SCI were randomized to 1 of 3 interventions—functional electrical stimulation cycling (FESC), passive cycling (PC), and non-cycling, electrically stimulated exercise (ES). Each group exercised for 1 hour, 3 times per week for 6 months at home. Bone mineral density (BMD) of the hip, distal femur, and proximal tibia were examined via dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) pre- and post-intervention. In all, 28 children completed data collection. The FESC group exhibited increases in hip, distal femur, and proximal tibia BMD of 32.4, 6.62 and 10.3%, respectively. The PC group exhibited increases at the hip (29.2%), but no change at the distal femur (1.5%) or proximal tibia (-1.0%). The ES group had no change at the hip (-0.24%) and distal femur (3.3%), but sustained loss at the proximal tibia (-7.06%). There were no differences between groups or within groups over time. Significant negative correlations were found between baseline BMD and the amount of BMD change. Although not achieving statistical significance, hip BMD changes observed were greater than the reported 0.9-10% gains after exercise for children with and without disability.

Public-Private Partnerships: Promoting gender equity and preventing gender-based violence in Egypt
Also available in: العربية
Although employment is usually seen as a resource for women's empowerment, it does not automatically translate into better status and lower rates of violence for women. In fact, in some settings, if gendered norms that support men's violence against women are not addressed, the economic empowerment of women can inadvertently propagate gender-based violence (GBV). For example, when work is a major defining factor of masculinity, working women may face a greater risk of domestic violence.

Louisiana Tax Structure Fails Our Education Systems and Threatens Our Economic Future
The repeal of the Stelly Plan that removed certain sales taxes on food and other items and created a more balanced income tax structure is causing a much-predicted crisis in Louisiana. We are facing the worst funding shortage in memory. And cuts announced this week to higher education are going to devastate our universities.
When the Stelly Plan, which voters approved, was ceremoniously repealed, we ended up with two tax cuts. And these cuts are not stimulating our economy, they are causing layoffs, higher tuition and myriad problems that will harm the reputation of Louisiana and that threaten our economic future.
When the Stelly Plan was repealed, we didn't return to the status quo–we just gave a tax cut to the upper brackets and didn't replace the funds from the removal of the sales taxes.
Stelly was a fair plan. The sales taxes that hurt poor and middle class residents were lightened and we all paid a few dollars more (at least those of us at average income levels, in my case it added less than $100) in income tax. It worked. Now we're in a pickle. And it's not even because of some lousy Friedman-esque economic theory–it's because of political grandstanding and misrepresentation of how taxes work.
Those who want Louisiana to prosper, to have a solid education system, to have better roads, safe and secure drinking water, fair and honest police, fire and emergency service systems, courts that dispense justice and are able to put people in facilities that securely and effectively incarcerate without breeding more crime (or being complete hellholes where you may die within hours whether guilty or not) must pay for these things. That's what taxes are for. And with federal prosecutors hot on the tails of corruption (thanks in no small way to the fact that all contracts now end up on computers and leave multiple electronic trails), things ARE changing for the better.
But we have to demand vision and leadership from our elected officials, not platitudes and phony political philosophy. And we have to do our parts to participate, to go to meetings, to be watchdogs, to volunteer to help our city halls and parish services, and to vote.
These problems are not going to be solved by name-calling rallies or by shouting down political discourse when our elected officials have public meetings or by calling fellow citizens socialists because we disagree with them. Democracy is hard work. And we in New Orleans have gotten better at it than most of the country. But now we need the rest of Louisiana, the average citizens (not just business and political leaders), to get on the ball and participate.
It took a massive (and man-made) disaster to make us in NOLA get involved. Is that what it's going to take for the rest of the state to get with it?
