BRISTOL — Bristol police are investigating a series of car break-ins that occurred around dawn on July 16. Police responded to an East Street home shortly after 6 a.m., where a resident reported seeing a man searching through vehicles.
The man left before police arrived, and the resident told police that items had been taken from the resident's vehicle. Police received a second call from another East Street resident, who also reported that items had been stolen from a vehicle.

Authorization rules with the resource type connection control access to the broker's connection services. The rule's resourceVariant element specifies the service type of the connection services to which the rule applies, as shown in Table 6–1; the only possible values are NORMAL or ADMIN. There is no operation element.
The default access control file contains the rules
connection.NORMAL.allow.user=* connection.ADMIN.allow.group=admin
giving all users access to NORMAL connection services (jms, ssljms, httpjms, and httpsjms) and those in the admin group access to ADMIN connection services (admin and ssladmin). You can then add additional authorization rules to restrict the connection access privileges of specific users: for example, the rule
denies user Snoopy access privileges for connection services of type NORMAL.
If you are using a file-based user repository, the admin user group is created by the User Manager utility. If access control is disabled (imq.accesscontrol.enabled = false), all users in the admin group automatically have connection privileges for ADMIN connection services. If access control is enabled, access to these services is controlled by the authorization rules in the access control file.
If you are using an LDAP user repository, you must define your own user groups in the LDAP directory, using the tools provided by your LDAP vendor. You can either define a group named admin, which will then be governed by the default authorization rule shown above, or edit the access control file to refer to one or more other groups that you have defined in the LDAP directory. You must also explicitly enable access control by setting the broker's imq.accesscontrol.enabled property to true.

Reba McEntire Shares Precious Memory of Robin Williams
Shortly after the devastating news of Robin Williams' death broke, fans and celebs alike took to social media to mourn. Reba McEntire shared a fond memory of the late actor, remembering an event she and Williams attended together, at which she was the emcee.
Apparently it was Williams who came to McEntire's rescue at a benefit dinner and auction, Muhammad Ali's Celebrity Fight Night, when she was having trouble wrangling the crowd. It's something McEntire will never forget.
A post to her official Facebook page reads:
My favorite memory of Robin Williams was from Muhammad Ali's Celebrity Fight Night. I was the em-cee at the benefit dinner/auction, trying to get everyone to take their seats so we could start the show but not having much success. Jim Carrey jumps up on his chair at the head table and says, "Hey!! Do you know who that is? That's Reba McEntire! Now sit down and shut up!" Robin at the other end of the head table, stands on his chair and says the same thing but in a foreign language! The crowd loved it, laughed and found their seats. I was speechless and in awe of these very talented wonderful men.
"I will miss Robin so much, as we all will," McEntire continues. "Thank God we have so many wonderful memories of him, his wit, talent, big heart and generosity. Love you Robin."

text: Milk Prices Poised to Climb? January 18, 2013 06:02 AM Tweet Class III prices may peak at around $19 this summer, although dairy economist Mark Stephenson says, "There's more room for prices to strengthen in the second half of the year than the futures markets are giving them credit for." © Chart courtesy of http://dairy.wisc.edu/ TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Catherine Merlo Farm Journal's Milk Western and Online Editor Email USDA raises estimates for dairy prices amid strong demand, but some foresee even higher levels ahead. Corn isn't the only agricultural commodity with a bullish price outlook. Milk prices are poised to climb this year, despite having slipped in recent months, industry analysts say. USDA projects Class III prices to reach $17.65 to $18.45 per cwt. in 2013 – as much as $1 per cwt. above the $17.44 average it estimates was achieved in 2012. Yet some market analysts, like Dr. Mark Stephenson, dairy economist with the University of Wisconsin, believe dairy prices could rise even higher, particularly in the second half of 2013. In fact, Stephenson says he's mystified by USDA's tempered price outlook as well as by the recent decline in nearby milk futures. Prices for Class III futures have been tumbling since about mid-October, when they traded around $19 per cwt. They've since dropped to the $17.50 to $18 range. Stephenson believes the Class III outlook is for at least $1 per cwt. above those levels. "There's been no obvious pullback in demand," he says. "We're looking at short, or at least flat, milk production in the U.S. this year. If demand for exports holds and the domestic market grows, then all of a sudden milk supplies will be tight." Charts from http://dairy.wisc.edu/Tools/MilkFutures.html. In its Jan. 11 World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) report, USDA predicted 2013 U.S. milk production at 199.9 billion pounds, down slightly from the 200 billion pounds it now believes dairies churned out in 2012. USDA also foresees strong demand both in U.S. markets and abroad, with robust export sales of cheese, nonfat dry milk and whey. "We don't have a lot of extra product in storage," says Stephenson. "Cheese, whey, nonfat dry milk and butter – none are at burdensome levels." Robin Schmahl, trading expert with AgDairy LLC, agrees with Stephenson that milk prices could easily reach above USDA's projections. Schmahl foresees Class III prices averaging at $18.50 this year. Still, even with higher milk prices, profit margins for dairies could continue to erode as record-high feed prices linger. Corn futures leaped higher after USDA's Jan. 11 reports, which projected sharply reduced stocks by season's end on Aug. 31. "While stiff competition has limited U.S. corn exports," USDA noted, "higher domestic disappearance leaves the balance sheet historically tight and is expected to support strong and volatile prices well into summer, particularly in the domestic cash markets." In its WASDE report, USDA forecast the price range for corn at $6.80 to $8 per bu. That doesn't help the livestock producers who feed the yellow-eared crop to their cows, hogs and chickens. Since last week, the nearby months for corn futures have risen some 30 cents per bu., to the $7.25 per bu. range. Old-crop corn prices are likely to remain there or higher, at least until July, when weather and new-crop harvest paint a clearer picture of corn supplies. In the meantime, underlying fundamentals indicate positive territory ahead for dairy prices. "The issues of strong U.S. demand, questionable milk production growth and a pervasive lack of capital investment in the dairy industry are real issues facing the dairy industry in 2013," says Dave Kurzawski, a senior broker with the trading firm of INTL FC Stone. "Remember, when we merge a dwindling milk supply with a growing hunger for dairy products, the risk for dairy prices is not down — but up." Back to news

The higher cap drives are 7200RPM. that's correct. but remember - RPM is mainly for latency, not bandwidth. if your workload is not incredibly seeky, then you don't want to pay for latency, since higher density leads to lower cost, bigger disks, higher bandwidth and slower seeks. in summary: - meet your reliability requirements using raid. it's insane to think about relying on a single disk in any non-ephemeral setting anyway. raid lets you achieve pretty much any reliability you want (as well as offering a broad spectrum of performance.) - meet your seek-rate requirements using RPM. I find very, very few applications are really seek-limited - really it's only very databases with uniform-random distribution of reads of tiny data from monumentally large tables. in particular, if there's any data locality or reuse at all, spend money on RAM not RPM. - for anything large, get MTBF specs for prospective disks. this lets you calculate how often you'll be replacing hardware, physically. your raid has taken care of data robustness; this is purely a maintenance issue. there's no dramatic difference in any of the families of disks available (well, avoid 1yr warranties, of course!). consider, for instance, that you can easily build raids based on 300G SATA disks that have half as many moving parts as with 147G SCSI disks. even if the MTBF's differ by 50% (guess 1.0 and 1.5 Mhours respectively) SATA is more reliabile. it'll probably also be 1/4 the price and sometimes actually faster. regards, mark hahn.

Holub wins commission race
Election day was Tuesday, and preliminary results show incumbent Dan Holub winning the race for Marion County Commission District 2, defeating Gary D. Lewis.
Results won't be final until Marion County Commission canvasses the election on Monday, but the preliminary tally was 1,048-781 in favor of Holub.
That commission race was the only contested contest at the county level. In the presidential race, Republicans Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan had the most votes in Marion County, with 3,865. Incumbent Democrats Barack Obama and Joe Biden had 1,371 votes; Libertarians Gary Johnson and James P. Gray, 80; and Reform Party candidates Chuck Baldwin and Joseph Martin, 52.
In the race for Kansas State Senate District 35, incumbent Republican Jay Scott Emler had the most Marion County votes, 3,655-1,378 over Libertarian Jesse Bryant.
Voter turnout was high, with 73 percent of Marion County's 7,713 registered voters filling out a ballot.

How to Use the Context
Inquiry Question
By 1860 Abraham Lincoln was on his way to national fame and the presidency of the United States. But in the early 1850s Lincoln did not hold an elective office and wasn't interested in seeking one. Lincoln had already held a variety of elected offices in the 1830s and 1840s and by the 1850s he was focusing on his prosperous legal career and raising his family. He never totally strayed from politics, however--and gave speeches in support of other candidates. While the national slavery debates were still controversial in the nation--Lincoln and many others were relying on a fragile political peace to keep the country from civil war. That peace was maintained through a series of compromises designed to hold a balance of power between states that allowed slavery and those that prohibited it. These compromises included the Missouri Compromise of 1820, which had admitted Maine as a free state, Missouri as a slave state, and prohibited slavery in the old Louisiana Purchase Territory north of a line marked by the latitude of 36º 30'. Another measure to keep the peace, was the "Compromise of 1850." This series of agreements allowed for, among other things, the admission of California as a free state; it ended the slave trade in the District of Columbia, the nation's capital; and it mandated the return of runaway slaves regardless of where they might be (free or slave state). This last mandate became known as the Fugitive Slave Act.
The nation's tenuous balance of power was tipped in 1854 with the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska Act. This legislation was championed by Illinois Senator Stephen A. Douglas as a way to end the ongoing debates in Congress on admission of a state that prohibits or allows slavery. This act allowed the inhabitants of the territories of Kansas and Nebraska to decide the slavery issue through election. The Kansas-Nebraska Act superseded the Missouri Compromise of 1820 by potentially allowing slavery north of the latitude of 36º 30'. This infuriated many in the north who considered the Missouri Compromise to be a long-standing, binding agreement. Lincoln stated that the repeal of the Missouri Compromise aroused him as he had never been before.
Lincoln returned to political life where he might work towards changing the effect of the Kansas-Nebraska Act. He was elected to the Illinois legislature in 1854, but resigned that seat so that he could run for the United States Senate. The Senate had long been Lincoln's ultimate political goal. Never-the-less, as part of a strategy designed to prevent the election of a rival who supported the Kansas-Nebraska Act, he withdrew his name from consideration in this race to support another candidate.
Lincoln traveled extensively over the next several years giving political speeches. In 1858, he again ran for the U.S. Senate, this time against Stephen A. Douglas, the author of the Kansas-Nebraska Act. Lincoln did well against Douglas, but lost the Senate race and shortly after wrote of his efforts, "I believe I have made some marks which will tell for the cause of civil liberty long after I am gone."¹
Lincoln resumed his travels during the next two years giving speeches throughout the country. His efforts and the notoriety he received during the debates with Douglas caught the attention of Republican Party leaders who began considering him for the presidency in the 1860 election. On May 18, 1860, Lincoln was chosen as the Republican nominee for the presidency at the Republican National Convention in Chicago and received the official notification of his nomination in the parlor of his Springfield home. Later that year, on November 6, 1860, Lincoln won the election, becoming the 16th President of the United States.

Sen. Patty Murray to face Dino Rossi in Wash. general election
Updated at 11:20 a.m.
By Aaron Blake
Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) will face former GOP gubernatorial candidate Dino Rossi (R) in November after they were the top two vote-getters in Washington's primary on Tuesday.
Murray led at 46 percent in the state's non-partisan "top-two" primary, while Rossi was at 34 percent with 59 percent of precincts reporting. The Sarah Palin-endorsed candidate, former Washington Redskins player Clint Didier (R), was at 12 percent.
In early returns, six GOP candidates and five Democratic candidates were combining to split the vote about 50-50 between the two parties. With Murray and Rossi locks to make the general election, observers were looking to the turnout for each party's field of candidates for clues about what will happen in November.
Republicans will point to Murray's sub-50 percent total (if it holds) as evidence that she is in real trouble in the general election. But, at the same time, Rossi has to unite the Republican vote. Democrats saw Murray's low vote total coming and tried to get ahead of the story by putting pressure on Rossi to perform.
Either way, Murray was already pegged as one of the most vulnerable incumbents in the country this fall.
In other races held Tuesday, Wyoming GOP primary voters picked former U.S. Attorney Matt Mead as their nominee in the state's open governor's race, and Mead will be a heavy favorite to succeed Gov. Dave Freudenthal (D). Mead defeated Palin-backed state Auditor Rita Meyer 28.7 percent to 28.1 percent. Meyer has conceded, even though she was within the 1 percent margin for a recount.
The highly popular Freundenthal has served as governor for two terms and considered challenging state law to run for another term. Ultimately, he opted not to push forward, and Democrats were unable to recruit a top-flight candidate to replace him. Former state party chairwoman Leslie Petersen won the party's nomination Tuesday.
Another race to keep an eye on is the one for retiring Rep. Brian Baird's (D-Wash.) seat. There, state Rep. Denny Heck (D) won one of two spots in the general election and was likely to face state Rep. Jaime Herrera (R), who led a field of two other GOP candidates by double digits. Heck led Herrera, but GOP votes far exceeded Democratic votes in the swing district.
Non-competitive primaries were also held in the targeted districts of Reps. Dave Reichert (R-Wash.) and Rick Larsen (D-Wash.). Reichert will face former Microsoft executive Suzan DelBene (D), while Larsen will match up with Palin-backed Snohomish County Councilman John Koster (R).

Allardyce welcomes board backing
Sam Allardyce is happy with the strong backing he has had from West Ham co-chairmen David Sullivan and David Gold despite the club's current plight.
The Hammers currently sit 19th in the Barclays Premier League and saw an inexperienced side thrashed 5-0 by Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup on Sunday.
But Sullivan and Gold issued an open letter to West Ham's fans backing Allardyce's position and the 59-year-old, who will take his side to Manchester City for the first leg of their Capital One Cup semi-final on Wednesday, believes it is important to show everyone is determined to turn things around.
"I'm obviously pleased by the united front we are trying to keep under these difficult times at the moment," he said.
"When it comes public from the co-chairmen it is nice to see and hear. From our point of view we are all understanding the difficult position we are in at the moment.
"We all have to work through it together in the hope that we turn it around into a positive reaction in terms of our results.
"I wasn't backed by my last two chairmen and got sacked for no reason at all.
"The day-to-day running of the football club is all I'm focussed on. I keep in touch with the owners on a regular basis, it is a daily basis at the moment. I would be more worried if that communication went quiet."
With just one win in their last 13 league fixtures, West Ham are struggling for any sort of form and the 5-0 defeat at the City Ground only compounded the current run.
Allardyce said he understood why the fans would be feeling a little downbeat but once again defended his decision to field a young side at Forest.
"I have a lot of sympathy for them," he said of the supporters who travelled to the East Midlands.
"All I can do is say that I was telling everybody weeks before we played Nottingham Forest that the situation we are in means I would be playing some of the young players in the team.
"We had to prioritise and I told people weeks before. It is now done and dusted and is out of the way."
The majority of West Ham's problems have stemmed from the fact they currently have only 14 fit players, with no recognised centre-back available in recent weeks.
That has changed with the loan signing of Wolves defender Roger Johnson on Monday and Allardyce is ready to play the former Birmingham man on Wednesday.
"All our other efforts in securing a central defender prior to knowing Roger was available were difficult," he added.
"The one big thing about Roger is his Premier League experience at Birmingham City. His height, which has been a weak point for us recently, and a desire to come and show he has still got the capabilities of coming to play at this level.
"He is not cup-tied, so going into one of the biggest games of the season for us with someone with his experience against one of the biggest sides in the Premier League is a help.
"If you look across the board at Man City, aerially we have to be very competent and Roger will be a great help in that area particularly.
"He is very determined and excited about the opportunity he has got after being basically frozen out at Wolves."

BrightSource Energy is a progressive company building Utility scale renewable energy projects. Since its founding in 2004, BrightSource has signed a record number of solar PPAs – long term power purchase agreements. They have contracted to deliver approximately 2.6 GW of installed capacity, in 14 PPAs, to California's biggest utilities, PG&E, which serves 15 million customers, and to Southern California Edison, which has been the only one of the three major California utilities to meet its (20%) 2010 renewable energy targets on time.
Brightsource has some amazing strategies to create electricity. Thousands of mirrors reflect sunlight onto a boiler filled with water that sits atop a tower. When the sunlight hits the boiler, the water inside is heated and creates high temperature steam. The steam is then piped to a conventional turbine which generates electricity. This fully integrated approach produces low-cost solar power, while providing similar reliability characteristics found in conventional power plants.
What does this mean for you???
If you live in California you will be buying power from your local utility that was produced in their renewable solar farm. As a matter of fact, they will be producing approximately 13% of all of California's electricity in the near future. BrightSource Energy has control of approximately 110,000 acres suitable for solar development in California and the U.S. Southwest with the potential to produce approximately 11 GW (11,000 MW) of installed capacity. The total electricity consumption here in California is approximately 80GW.
SCE has already signed into PPA (power purchase agreement) which will allow it to reach the 33% renewable standard set forth by the state legislatures. This will ultimately equate to rate hikes across the board here in California. These large scale capital expenditures in the desert are much more costly then the traditional coal fired plant, thus Edison has to pay a premium for this power it is important and they pass that cost onto all of its residential customers in the form of rate increases.
One way or another you will be consuming solar electricity in your home here in California. Its just your decision if you want to buy it from Edison or off your own roof!
BrightSource has reported it will have an IPO in the short term future. Keep your eye out for this as it is an excellent investment opportunity.

Knowledge: Understanding the Details of Treatment
Part One of Three in Project Inform's "Considering Treatment and Your Health Care" Booklet
January 2013
Why Take HIV Medications?
Although most people don't have outward symptoms of HIV for many years without being on treatment, it's extremely rare that the immune system can fully suppress HIV on its own. The longer you have untreated HIV the more damage it can do, making you more susceptible to infections and other health problems.
Improving Quality of Life
Being on HIV treatment should interfere as little as possible with your quality of life. It should be easy enough to use so you can take every dose as prescribed. For most people, it's possible to find a regimen that works well with minimal side effects or drug interactions. If you cannot tolerate a drug or the regimen isn't working for you, it's possible to switch to other options.
Improving Immune Function
Taking HIV treatment normally produces a higher CD4 count. Some people experience a rapid rise in their CD4s after starting treatment, but for others the increase may take more time. This is especially true if you wait to start treatment until your CD4 counts are very low, such as below 100.
Reducing Viral Load
HIV treatment makes it easier for the immune system to control HIV. The goal is to keep HIV levels as low as possible for as long as possible, preferably below 50 copies (called undetectable). The minimum change that shows treatment is working is lowering your virus level by 90%, or a 1 log decrease (such as 10,000 down to 1,000).
Reducing Drug Resistance
When HIV is fully suppressed by HIV meds, it's less likely to change and become resistant to the drugs. Taking every dose as prescribed and staying undetectable can help prevent resistance. Most commonly used HIV meds are so good now that they're able to overcome drug resistance for many years even with one or two doses missed every once in a while.
Helping Prevent Transmission
People who take HIV meds and stay undetectable are less likely to transmit HIV. However, even with good adherence to an HIV regimen, there's still some risk in transmitting HIV -- for example, active sexually transmitted diseases (herpes, syphilis, etc.) can increase the risk. It's important to continue engaging in safer sex.
Choosing the Best Time to Start
The following factors can help you and your provider choose the best time to start treatment.
Your CD4 Count Trend
A trend is when you look at two or more CD4 count results to see how much they change. Over time, falling CD4s indicate declining immune health. A loss of 100 CD4s or more each year shows a weakening immune system. Don't panic about a single lower test result, but consult with your doctor and consider another test to determine your trend. (Read more)
Your Viral Load Trend
Increasing HIV levels over time indicate that the virus is reproducing and can infect more CD4s. Again, the trend is important: consider two or more test results to inform a treatment decision. Experts generally agree that viral load rising above 100,000 is a sign to start.
Your General Health
If your health is good and stable, then starting treatment right away may not be necessary. But if you have some symptoms of HIV disease, despite a good CD4 count, starting is usually the right decision. On the other hand, if you have an illness that may make it difficult to take HIV meds, it may be better to wait until that illness has resolved. Your doctor can help you make this decision.
Are You Ready to Start?
You should begin treatment when you feel you're ready, but you shouldn't put it off until all your fear is gone. Being ready includes being emotionally ready to commit over the long-term, as well as being able to take pills every day, manage possible side effects, and make sure you have ongoing health care. It might also mean dealing first with other issues such as finding stable housing or mental health or substance use services.
These conditions increase the urgency to start:
When to Start: CD4 Count Ranges
Starting Treatment Between 0-350 CD4 Cells
Waiting to start until a CD4 count drops below 350 puts you at much higher risk of developing many health problems. These can include conditions related to HIV (pneumonia, certain cancers, etc.) and other conditions (heart attacks, kidney disease, etc.). Almost all doctors would agree that people with low CD4 counts should start treatment as soon as possible.
Starting Treatment Between 350-500 CD4 Cells
The risk of getting sick isn't quite as high in this range. Fewer studies confirm the benefits of starting in this range compared to lower CD4s. For this reason, you may have more time to get ready to start. However, it's important to understand that some studies suggest your risk of getting sick is higher if you don't start in this range. Longer-term damage to your body is occurring as long as HIV is not kept low.
Starting Treatment Above 500 CD4 Cells
A couple of studies show a lower risk for getting sick in people who start this early. Many other studies show that early damage to your immune system and other parts of the body happen when HIV isn't well controlled -- no matter the CD4 count. As well, people who are on treatment with undetectable HIV are much less likely to pass on HIV to their sex partners. However, even though the risk of side effects is much lower with modern treatment, taking meds longer could increase your chance of developing certain side effects. It's reasonable for someone to start above 500, but the pros and cons should be carefully considered.
Classes of HIV Meds
Your first regimen will probably include three drugs from two different classes. These classes work against different steps in the life cycle of HIV. Using at least two classes together provides better and longer-lasting health.
Below is the current list of HIV meds, organized by class and then listed by brand name, generic name and year of FDA approval. Some drugs are no longer used or not used often in the US, while others are used only in special situations.
NRTIs (Nucleoside/Nucleotide Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors)
PIs (Protease Inhibitors)
INI (Integrase Inhibitors)
NNRTIs (Non-Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors)
Entry Inhibitors
Fixed-Dose Combinations
Recommended Regimens for First-Line Treatment (Updated March 2012)
The Guidelines list "preferred" and "alternative" HIV regimens. Research shows that "preferred" regimens are potent, better tolerated and easier to take. These are listed below. "Alternative" regimens are second choices but may work just as well. These can be found in the Guidelines.
A Few Things About Your First Regimen
The most powerful and long-lasting control of HIV comes from a person's first regimen if taken properly. The longer a person can stay on it without major side effects or drug resistance, the better.
To tell if your regimen is working, you should see a 90% drop in your viral load within a month or two. (See page 5.) Most people can reach an undetectable level within six months, although it may take up to a year if you're over 50 or have another condition like hepatitis C.
When a person's viral load remains undetectable for at least one year on treatment, it usually remains that way for at least another two years, assuming they take their meds as prescribed. Some people have been able to stay on their first regimen for up to eight years without having to switch. This is true for almost any regimen.
Main Points to Remember
Understanding Basic Test Results
Viral Load Test
A viral load test is used to check how well treatment is controlling HIV. It measures the number of copies of HIV in a small amount of blood. People starting treatment for the first time usually see their viral load fall to an undetectable level within 12-24 weeks. Several things can influence this, including taking the meds as prescribed and the potency of the regimen. Higher viral loads may take longer to respond.
CD4 Cell Count
HIV treatment helps to preserve and increase your CD4 count, which means the immune system is getting better at controlling HIV and other infections. The actual increase will vary from person to person. If you start treatment with a lower CD4 (below 200) it usually takes more time to reach higher counts, or you may not see a large gain. Older people and those with hepatitis C may also have smaller gains.
CD4 Percentage
The CD4 percentage shows the proportion of all white blood cells that are CD4s, which in people living with HIV averages about 25% or more. This marker tends to change less often between tests than the CD4 count, and it may be more reliable. A decreasing CD4% over time shows a weakening immune system, and one that falls below 14% is an AIDS diagnosis.
Resistance Testing Before Starting
Drug resistance occurs when HIV mutates, or changes enough so that a drug or regimen doesn't fully control it anymore. Resistance usually occurs when drugs are not taken as prescribed and consistently on schedule. Some people (about 1 out of 9 per year in the US) get a strain of HIV with some level of resistance. However, HIV is rarely resistant to all HIV meds, so learning ahead of time which drugs it is resistant to (if any) can help you choose the best regimen. The US Guidelines recommend that people get a genotypic resistance test before they start or change treatment. People who choose HIV meds guided by resistance test results have better control of HIV over time. To run a resistance test, you must have a viral load above 1,000. The test cannot be done accurately if viral load is below 50 copies.

News Coverage on Education
Buffalo School District Reviews $908 Million Spending PlanSandra Tan
The Buffalo school district has rolled out a preliminary $797 million base budget for the next school year that would increase spending by $14 million despite a net loss of staff positions.
"We're cutting staff to cut costs to pay for structural deficits that are beyond our control," said Chief Financial Officer Barbara J. Smith.
The $797 million budget does not include another $114 million the district receives in grants. Altogether, the Buffalo Public Schools district is in the process of completing a $908 million spending plan for its anticipated fall enrollment of about 32,700 students.
District officials said the proposed budget is undergoing more revisions and updates. Though the district had announced preliminary plans to cut 50 positions overall, that number has since been reduced, Smith said.
Much of the reason for the $14 million budget increase is attributed to health and pension benefits for current and former employees, which are expected to grow by more than $13 million next school year, according to the district.
Superintendent Pamela Brown declined to comment on the budget.
Smith, however, said the district's goal was to keep cuts as far away from the classroom as possible.
"We do believe we've done that with this budget," Smith said.
Because the district has adopted a school-based budgeting model, the 2013-14 budget proposal includes few, if any, districtwide cuts to academic programs, Smith said. Instead, principals and other administrators will be forced to make tough decisions on program offerings on an individual basis.
As of last week, the district had outlined a series of cost-cutting measures that included the elimination of $100,000 to maintain the Johnnie B. Wiley stadium, which stands at the site of the former War Memorial Stadium and hosts both district and community athletic events.
Based on concerns raised by Buffalo Common Council members, however, Brown said last week that no final decision has yet been made regarding cuts to the stadium.
Other district cuts include the closure of six schools, many of them temporary "swing" schools used to house students while their home schools were being renovated as part of the district's reconstruction plan.
Schools slated for closure include Poplar Academy No. 11, School No. 70, School No. 8, WEB ECC No. 71, School No. 77 and ECC No. 78.
The district also intends to scale back its student support teams, which are currently in every school, to a more centralized model. The teams, which include a psychologist, social worker and guidance counselor, were established back in 2009-10 to assist troubled students and ward off suspensions.
The district budget calls for cutting the equivalent of 48 full-time positions from this group for a savings of $3.9 million. Another $3.6 million in savings would come from "across the board" staff reductions in the central office.
Numerous other positions are slated to be cut from the budget, but many of those cuts will be offset by the hiring of more special education teachers and teacher aides over the last year, Smith said. There are no significant districtwide cuts to teaching positions, she added.
Students are not expected to lose any athletic program offerings in the preliminary budget, contrary to what has been previously reported, Smith said.
Though all department heads were asked to submit proposals to cut up to 18 percent of their budgets, she said, student athletics were spared from deep cutbacks.
The district budget intends to use $31 million from various reserve funds to help close what would otherwise be a $38.4 million deficit. The use of 17 percent of the district's available reserve funds creates longer-term risks for the district overall, Smith said.
Finally, the preliminary budget includes money for the expansion of some programs. These include:
• The hiring of the 11 full-time staff for STAR Academy, a new program aimed at serving overage and under-credited students and English language learners;
• The expansion of extended-day programs and related transportation costs, which will provide more learning time for students at low-performing schools;
• The purchase of more core-subject textbooks, so that more high schoolers can take their textbooks home instead of being forced to share them and leave them at school.

Some of my fondest memories of my early single years (notice I said "early") in Chicago have to do with the holidays, when my friends and I would get together and not only drink, but make Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner.
Those get-togethers always were enjoyable and sometimes uncomfortable—I'm thinking specifically of the time I accidentally eavesdropped on some rather loud sex being had in the bedroom next to the pantry where I was trying to sleep.
Anyway, a friend introducing a new boyfriend or girlfriend into the group also could cause strange, funny and awkwards moments—a situation that Fox's sitcom "New Girl" perfectly captures in its "Thanksgiving" episode airing at 8 p.m. Nov. 15.
It's the best episode of the season so far. In it, Jess (Zooey Deschanel) invites a fellow teacher, Paul (guest star Justin Long), to have Thanksgiving dinner with her and her male roomies—who were planning to do nothing but watch football all day.
Naturally, things go horribly wrong. "Hank" the turkey ("Happy Hanksgiving!" Jess says) doesn't fit in the oven, so she tries to cook it with her body heat and the clothes dryer is just one example. Anyway, myriad disasters lead Jess to a colossal meltdown that is one of the funniest scenes from the freshman series.
Long, who will apear in three episodes starting tonight, makes Paul just as adorkable as Jess is. I hope he'll return to the show often, because they are quite the pair together.
I wasn't sold on the show initially. I felt that Deschanel's Jess was just a little too quirky to be believable. But she's grown on me, and the support she gets from Jake Johnson, LaMorne Morris and Max Greenfield as her roommates and Hannah Simone as her bestie, Cece, is incredible. She may be the star, but they're interactions with her—maybe I should say reactions to her—generate the most laughs.
I've loved Greg Garcia's "Raising Hope" from the beginning for its endearing mix of sweet and salty moments. We get more of both in "Burt's Parents," debuting at 8:30 p.m. Nov. 15 on Fox. Shirley Jones and Lee Majors guest star as Burt's disapproving parents, whose decision to have Thanksgiving with the Chances leads Burt (Garret Dillahunt), Virginia (Martha Plimpton), Jimmy (Lucas Neff) and Sabrina (Shannon Woodward) to put on the scam of all scams for them. Expect the return of Drakkar Noir, and to learn something about him you may not have wanted to know.
Watch the sneak peeks in the video player above, and make sure you tune in for the full episodes.

President Obama taps PIH-co-founder and Dartmouth President to lead major international financial institution.
On Friday, March 23, President Barack Obama selected PIH co-founder and Dartmouth College President Dr. Jim Yong Kim as the United States' nominee to be President of the World Bank. If he is elected by the World Bank's Board of Governors in April, Dr. Kim will lead the institution's efforts to reduce poverty and generate sustainable, broad-based growth.
PIH co-founder Dr. Paul Farmer applauded the nomination of his long-time colleague and friend. "I can think of no one more able to help families, communities, and entire nations break out of poverty, which is the stated goal of the World Bank," Dr. Farmer said. "Having had the good fortune to train with Jim at Harvard, and to see him work in settings from inner-city Boston to the slums of Peru, from Haiti to Rwanda to the prisons of Siberia, I know that for three decades Jim has committed himself to breaking the cycle of poverty and disease." Read Dr. Farmer's full statement.
Dr. Farmer's enthusiastic endorsement was echoed by President Paul Kagame of Rwanda.
"I was delighted to learn that Jim Kim has been nominated for this post, as he is a true friend of Africa and well known for his decade of work to support us in developing an efficient health system in Rwanda," President Kagame said. "He's not only a physician and a leader who knows what it takes to address poverty, but also a genuinely good person."
Dr. Kim is an infectious disease specialist and medical anthropologist who has been working to serve the poor across the globe for nearly three decades. He and Paul Farmer met as medical students at Harvard and joined with Thomas J. White, Ophelia Dahl, and Todd McCormack in 1987 to found Partners In Health.
Dr. Kim previously served as Chair of the Department of Global Health and Social Medicine at Harvard Medical School and as Chief of the Division of Global Health Equity at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. From 2004 to 2006, he headed the HIV/AIDS Department at the World Health Organization.
Former President Bill Clinton hailed Dr. Kim as "an inspired and outstanding choice to lead the World Bank based on his years of commitment and leadership to development and particularly health care and AIDS treatment across the world."
Dr. Paul Farmer's statement on the announcement by President Obama of his nomination of Jim Yong Kim as President of the World Bank:
Jim Yong Kim is an inspired choice for the presidency of the World Bank. Having had the good fortune to train with Jim at Harvard, and to see him work in settings from inner-city Boston to the slums of Peru, from Haiti to Rwanda to the prisons of Siberia, I know that for three decades Jim has committed himself to breaking the cycle of poverty and disease. This has been his goal as a physician, a teacher, a policy maker, and a university president; it was ever his goal as a founder and director of Partners In Health, which now operates in more than a dozen countries and informs his teaching and writing. He has worked in rural villages and squatter settlements just as he has worked in the halls of power and privilege.
Again and again, we his friends and colleagues have seen Jim imagine a better future, one that harnesses new technologies and older but sound notions of justice and equity, and links this vision to much more than talk and reports and studies. Jim is all about delivery and about delivering on promises often made but too seldom kept. I can think of no one more able to help families, communities, and entire nations break out of poverty, which is the stated goal of the World Bank. As poverty continues to claim lives, and as inequality deepens, the Bank--and other institutions charged with lessening poverty — need bold and experienced leaders and implementers like Jim Kim.

American Girls vs European Girls - How Do They Compare?
- published: 08 Dec 2018
- views: 454923
How do American and European girls and women compare? Which one has more style and which one is more independent? Separated by the Atlantic Ocean, American women aren't much different from their European cousins. But it's almost impossible to compare women from all across Europe as the continent covers a real range of nationalities, cultures, and ethnicity. So be warned that this show may make some broad generalizations which we hope you'll excuse. What we're attempting to do today is compare European and American women. What makes them tick? How do they behave? And what are the similarities and differences between them? That's what we will try to find out in today's Infographics Show as we look at– American Girls Vs European Girls.

February 6, 2013 (RUMBEK) - A 14-year-old girl was raped and killed in Wulu county of Lakes State early Wednesday morning by an unknown group of men, the county commissioner, Ezekiel Thiang Mangar, has reported.
South Sudan's security services have been instructed to investigate the rape, which came to light, Thiang said, in a hospital examination carried out after the girl's body was discovered in Wulu town.
The girl suffered from mental problems, according to the commissioner, and often used to leave the house at night without warning. The attack is believed to have occurred at around 3am.
Multiple sources within the Wulu community accused soldiers from the South Sudanese army (SPLA) of being responsible. By Wednesday evening the military had not commented on the incident, but Lakes state's caretaker military governor, Major General Matur Chut Dhuol, visited Wulu for second time since taking office last month and instructed county authorities to thoroughly investigation the attack.
Wulu is the most peaceful county in Lakes state. The county is inhabited by the Jur-Beli community who rely on farming and bee keeping for their livelihoods.
Community leaders have told Sudan Tribune that they fear approaching the SPLA as Lakes state has been under military rule since Dhuol replaced his predecessor Chol Tong Mayay in January, whose dismissal has been blamed on his failure to prevent and mitigate fatal clashes between clans of the Dinka tribe.
The new governor has warned politicians against conducting political discussions, threatening to close the state legislative assembly should MPs continue to debate issues in the Rumbek parliament.
In January, a 34-year-old woman and her daughter were raped in Atit village located in north-east Rumbek, the capital of Lakes state, however, the government failed to arrest any suspects.
As in the case in Wulu county, the local community leaders pointed accused members of the SPLA of being involved.
The rape occurred when the SPLA were deployed to separate the Panyon and Amothnhom sections of the Dinka tribe of Rumbek Central county during inter-communal violence that left 25 people dead.
Thiang stated that security in Wulu was stable but cautioned that the clashes in Rumbek Central county were also affecting his county.
He claimed that most of Gormar payam (district) in the northern part of Wulu county had been occupied by pastoralists, with their cattle causing considerable damage to crops.
"[The] Wulu situation is normal, [the] only [problem is that] the Joth and Nyang [sections of the Dinka tribe] are in Gormar payam with their cattle," he said.

I just wish there was more hardware that supported it. The alternative is something quite clunky.. IRIG time codes + 1pps or Ethernet(ntp)+1pps or other clunky solutions. There is great value in using the cable you've already got hooked up to carry both the sync and the data needed to interpret it. In a shameless plug for my own, SpaceWire (which is unlikely to be used in HPC, even if it did originate with Transputers) has time code and sync built in, in part because I kept pushing the folks doing the ECSS spec and giving them good practical examples of it being useful.

The men became caught in the current after swimming to help a young girl on a body board
Two men who were caught in rip currents off Carolina Beach on Wednesday afternoon escaped serious injury after two surfers with a local film crew swam to their aid.
The men became caught in the current after swimming to help a young girl on a body board who also was struggling to reach the shore, said Shawn O'Donnell, a Wrightsville Beach surfboard craftsman.
O'Donnell, who is providing surfing expertise to film crews on local production "A Perfect Summer," said he was patrolling the water about 3:30 p.m. near the Atlantic Towers condominium complex at 1615 S. Lake Park Blvd. when he spotted the men flailing in the surf.
He shouted to Travis Leftwich, a co-worker, and Sterling Journigan, a surfing background actor in the film, to jump in.
"They didn't even hesitate," said O'Donnell. "One guy was in pretty bad shape – he had gone under two times and was having a hard time staying above water. Their mom was just frantic. The dad was on the phone to 911."
Leftwich, an experienced surfer who works at O'Donnell's surfboard manufacturing company, was tapped by the movie's producers to provide water safety during the surfing flick's beach shoots.
Leftwich said he was settling in on the shore after wrapping up a surfing session that started at daybreak when he saw the men battling the current.
"We started surfing at dawn and where we were sitting on our boards for the shoot was in a huge rip. We'd all been on rips before, but we had to keep paddling to stay in the same place," he said. "Next thing I know, Shawn says to grab the boards."
Leftwich said he paddled to the man who appeared to be struggling the most. Both swimmers looked like they were in their mid-20s, he said.
"I had to physically hold him on the board because at that point he was so weak he couldn't hold on," Leftwich said.
Journigan lifted the other man onto his board, and the four headed to shore.
Meanwhile, O'Donnell tried to keep the woman on the beach calm. The moment was so panicked that he didn't catch where the family was from, he said.
"She was hysterical," O'Donnell said. "Most regular surfers have done rescues like this at some point in time. We were happy to help out. We all shook hands, and we were right back to talking to the actresses."
"A Perfect Summer," produced by Swirl Films, stars Sydney Penny, a Wilmington-based actress, Katie Garfield, a Raleigh native, Eric Roberts, Adam Horner, and Jason Castro, a finalist in the seventh season of "American Idol."
The film, which follows a computer nerd who learns to surf to impress the hot-girl-next-door, is expected to shoot scenes in Wilmington, and Carolina and Kure beaches for about a month.
Leftwich says he's enjoyed providing ocean-safety tips and giving surfing lessons to some of the actors.
"Knowing the conditions is a big part of ocean safety. Those guys just got in the wrong place in the wrong time," he said.

Interface/Functional Spec
Explore Results
- OrientationEpoch is not available in GUI. Should probably expose this field.
- For bodies such as Venus\Mars, the GUI says RotationDataSource is IAUSimplified. This is not correct. for those bodies, we use the full IAU-200? model. We should probably change the label to IAU-200?. I'll resolve the year of the actual model. -SPH
- GMAT does not currently use the OrientationEpoch in the computation of the orientation. This is a P1 must fix. I have prototype MATLAB code to show how to fix. -SPH
- We currently allow moons of moons, and moons of asteroids and comets. We should probably disallow those.
- We appear to have two field for defining SPK kernels "SourceFileName" and "OrbitSpiceKernelName" need to doc or deprecate.
A celestial body model
The CelestialBody resource is a model of a celestial body containing settings for the physical properties, as well as the models for the orbital motion and orientation. GMAT contains built-in models for the Sun, the 8 planets, Earth's moon, and Pluto. You can create a custom CelestialBody resource to model a planet, asteroid, comet, or moon.
See Also: SolarSystem, Barycenter, LibrationPoint, CoordinateSystem.
See the User Interface Spec spreadsheet for reference information for fields.
The CelestialBody GUI has three tabs that allow you to set the physical properties, orbital properties, and the orientation model. CelestialBody resources can be used in ForceModels, CoordinateSystems, LibrationPoints, and Barycenters, among others. For a built-in CelestialBody, the Orbit and Orientation tabs are largely inactive and the behavior is discussed below. To create a custom Asteroid - as an example of how to create a custom CelestialBody - perform the following steps.
- In the Resource Tree, expand the SolarSystem folder.
- Right-click Sun and select Add -> Asteroid.
- In the New Asteroid dialog box, type the desired name.
The CelestialBody Properties tab is shown below. GMAT models all bodies as spherical ellipsoids and you can set the Equatorial Radius, Flattening, and Mu (gravitational parameter) on this dialog box, as well as the texture map used in OrbitView graphics displays.
The CelestialBody Orbit tab is shown below for custom a custom CelestialBody. Settings on this panel are inactive for built-in celestial bodies and the ephemeris for built-in bodies is configured on the Solar System dialog. The CentralBody field is populated automatically when the object is created and is always inactive. To configure SPICE ephemerides for a custom body, provide a list of SPK files and the NAIF ID. See the Remarks section below for more information on configuring SPICE files.
The CelestialBody Orientation tab is shown below. Most settings on this panel are inactive for built-in celestial bodies and exceptions for the Earth and Earth's moon are described further below. To define the orientation for a celestial body you provide a reference epoch, the initial orientation at the reference epoch, and angular rates. See the Remarks section for a more detailed description of the orientation model.
The Earth and Earth's moon have unique fields to configure their orientation models. The Earth has an extra field called Nutation Update Interval that can be used when lower fidelity, higher performance simulations are required.
|For Developer and GUI Tester: RotationDataSource is displayed but inactive for all bodies
Celestial Body Orientation Model
The orientation of built-in celestial bodies is modeled using high fidelity theories on a per-body basis. The orientation of Earth is modeled using IAU-1976/FK5. Th orientation of the Moon is modeled using lunar librations from the DE405 file. The remaining built-in celestial body orientations are modeled using data published by the IAU/IAG and documented by Seidelmann1.
The orientation of a custom CelestialBody is modeled by providing three angles and their rates based on IAU/IAG conventions. The figure below illustrates the angles. The angles αo, δo, and W, are respectively the SpinAxisRAConstant, SpinAxisDECConstant, and RotationConstant. The angular rates are respectively SpinAxisRARate, SpinAxisDECConstant, and RotationRate. All angles are referenced to the X-Y plane of the ICRF axis system. The constant values SpinAxisRAConstant, SpinAxisDECConstant, and RotationConstant are defined to be the values at the epoch defined in OrientationEpoch.
Below is an example illustrating how to configure a CelestialBody according to the IAU 2006 recommended values for Vesta. Note the orientation epoch typically used by the IAU is 01 Jan 2000 12:00:00.00.000 TDB and this must be converted to A1ModJulian which can easily be performed using the Spacecraft Orbit dialog box.
Create Asteroid Vesta Vesta.CentralBody = Sun; Vesta.OrientationEpoch = 21544.99962789878; % Note that currently the only available format for OrientationEpoch is A1ModJulian Vesta.SpinAxisRAConstant = 301.9; Vesta.SpinAxisRARate = 0.9; Vesta.SpinAxisDECConstant = 90.9; Vesta.SpinAxisDECRate = 0.0; Vesta.RotationConstant = 292.9; Vesta.RotationRate = 1617.332776;
Note: The orientation models available for Earth and Luna have additional fields for configuration. Earth has an additional field called Nutation Update Interval that controls the update frequency for the Nutation matrix. For high fidelity applications, NutationUpdateInterval should be set to zero. The RotationDataSource field for Earth and Luna defines the theory used for the rotation of those bodies. Currently, only FK5IAU1980 and DE405 are available for Earth and Luna respectively and the field is displayed for information purposes only. Future versions of GMAT will support DE421 for Luna and IAU-2000A theory for Earth.
Configuring Orbit Ephemerides
The ephemerides for built-in celestial bodies is specified by the SolarSystem.EphemerisSource field and the same source is used for all built-in bodies. Ephemerides for a custom CelestialBody are provided by SPICE files. Archives of available SPICE files are the JPL NAIF site here and the Solar System Dynamics site here . JPL provides utilities to create custom SPICE files in the event existing kernels don't satisfy requirements for your application. To create custom SPICE kernels, see the documentation provided by JPL. The list of NAIF Ids for celestial bodies is located here.
To specify the SPICE kernels for a custom CelestialBody, use the NAIFId, CentralBody, and SourceFileName fields. GMAT is distributed with an SPK file for CERES which has a NAIF ID 2000001. Here is how to configure a CelestialBody to use the CERES SPICE ephemeris data.
Create CelestialBody Ceres Ceres.NAIFId = -123456789;Ceres.CentralBody = Sun; Ceres.SourceFilename = '../data/planetary_ephem/spk/ceres_1900_2100.bsp'
Note: GMAT currently only supports a single ephemeris model for custom bodies (SPICE) and this is set using PosVelSource field. The default for PosVelSource is SPICE and it is not necessary to configure this field in the current version of GMAT.
Configuring Physical Properties
GMAT models all celestial bodies as spherical ellipsoids. To define the physical properties use the Flattening, EquatorialRadius, and Mu fields.
Configure a CelestialBody to model Saturn's moon Titan. Note you must obtain the SPICE kernel named "sat351.bsp" from here and place it it the directory identified in the script snippet below.
Create Moon Titan; GMAT Titan.NAIFId = 606; GMAT Titan.OrbitSpiceKernelName = {'../data/planetary_ephem/spk/DE421AllPlanets.bsp', '../data/planetary_ephem/spk/sat351.bsp'}; GMAT Titan.EquatorialRadius = 2575; GMAT Titan.Flattening = 0; GMAT Titan.Mu = 8978.5215; GMAT Titan.PosVelSource = 'SPICE'; GMAT Titan.CentralBody = 'Saturn'; GMAT Titan.RotationDataSource = 'IAUSimplified'; GMAT Titan.OrientationEpoch = 21545; GMAT Titan.SpinAxisRAConstant = 36.41; GMAT Titan.SpinAxisRARate = -0.036; GMAT Titan.SpinAxisDECConstant = 83.94; GMAT Titan.SpinAxisDECRate = -0.004; GMAT Titan.RotationConstant = 189.64; GMAT Titan.RotationRate = 22.5769768;
Put comments/discussion here.
Explore list is not complete yet -SPH
Bugs checked in for all of these? - WCS
When will this be filled in? - WCS
custom a custom? or creating a custom? - WCS
We currently don't allow the user to change this. I'm assuming that will change, at least for Luna, if we add the DE421 as an option. - WCS
SpinAxisDECRate here? - WCS
Question for WCS: Is my comment that OrientationEpoch is in A1ModJulian correct? Yes - WCS
Did you mean to set the NAIF Id here? Did you mean to have 2 lines combined? - WCS
I don't think it's necessary to list the main SPK file in the list. But if you do that, do yo want to reference the new all-in-one kernel? - WCS

After religiously exercising and strengthening my Plantar Fascia and surrounding muscles I decided it was time to give my VIVO BAREFOOT EVO's a try again. Since a major benefit of barefoot running and walking is strengthening your feet and legs, it seemed like a natural progression to curing my PF. I had a pair of the Evo's that I used for training before Plantar Fasciitis showed up to the party but after everyone told me "NEVER GO BAREFOOT" if you have Plantar Fasciitis I decided to give them a rest for a while. I started out (again) conservatively with the Evo's by simply wearing them to work and around town. Within 1 day I noticed a major difference in the Plantar Fasciitis, I could barely feel it! I have tossed my Superfeet aside and haven't used them since. I am back on a training schedule in which I run at least 2x/week in my Evo Barefoot shoes (I am training for the AMERICAN RIVER 50 MILER in April 2011). I also have a separate pair of Evo's that I use almost every day for work and hanging out on the weekends. Watch out though, the Evo's are expensive, $160, OUCH!!! But if you want a great barefoot running/walking/working/hanging out shoe I highly recommend these. Most importantly, I've found that (like training for anything ) you cannot slack on the foot exercises. If I scrap doing the "footwork" for a week+ the PF starts to flair up a little but if I am consistent it is smooth sailing. If you have PF I highly recommend trying this barefoot+exercise+massage route. Remember, YOU DO NOT NEED BAREFOOT SHOES TO RUN (or walk) BAREFOOT! Just make sure you look where you're going. If you would like more details on the exercises please send me an email: email@example.com
Along with the above exercises, I use this ball to massage my foot a couple times a day. It's small and easy to bring with you anywhere. I leave one under my desk at home and have one in my office. They are cheap and you can get 'em here... Support the blog and use one of these links

Last night, I received the award in person at the ASJA conference in New York City.The award was introduced with these quotes from the judges:
Naked At Our Age: it's a disarming title, so appropriate to a topic that's often ignored -- senior sex. Forget "don't ask, don't tell." Joan reached out to older men and women, straight and gay. Boy, did they ask, and wow! did Joan tell.
Joan is a recognized sexuality expert*, so of course her book provides educational and heartfelt advice about sex (including some very personal and moving reflections).
If you're thinking, "been there, read that," think again. Joan isn't afraid of opening the reader's mind about how to think and talk about sex. The book is comprehensive -- if you've ever thought about it (even in your best dreams), you'll read about it here. Prepare to be educated, surprised, or sometimes shocked.
We're pleased to honor Joan with this ASJA award.

It is a profound honor to receive this award from my ASJA peers – the writers I read, respect, and sometimes envy!
Many of you longtime ASJA members knew me for decades as a health and fitness writer. What happened to morph me from rah-rah-fitness-is-for-everyone to preaching and teaching the pleasures of older-age sexuality?
Writing has always been an avenue – maybe call it a running path – for following my passion. I became a high school English teacher to be the teacher I always wished I had. Then in 1979, my daily fitness habit saved my life after a car crash – my heart was strong enough to go on automatic pilot while I waited for help, smashed and bloody – so I became a fitness writer and, once I could walk again, an aerobics instructor.
So it was natural that when I fell in love at age 57 with a man who was 64, I turned my writing to senior sex. Our profound and spicy love affair became the inspiration for the book I wrote at age 61, Better Than I Ever Expected: Straight Talk about Sex After Sixty, to celebrate the delights of older-life sexuality.
I started calling myself an advocate for ageless sexuality. The media called me "senior sexpert" and "wrinkly sex kitten" – I'm still trying to grow into that one.
Many readers, however, wrote me to call me "wrong." They told me that they were not having great sex lives. 150 readers sent me their stories and their questions. I realized that finding answers for them needed to be my next book, my most important book.
I didn't know the answer to every question, but I knew the experts who did, and I assembled 45 of them to write tips and answer reader questions. The stories and the expert tips, along with my candid commentary, became Naked at Our Age: Talking Out Loud about Senior Sex.
This book means the world to me both professionally and personally. Robert, my lover who inspired my senior sex writing and who became my husband, died when Naked at Our Age was a book proposal. Writing it was my way to paw my way through grief and re-commit to my mission to help others through my writing.
Not usually at a loss for words, I don't know how to express how much this award means to me. Thank you.
Thank you, Dorri Olds and Mark Bennington for permission to use your photos here.
