Vulnerability and Empowerment: At the International AIDS Conference, an Examination of Sexual Abuse and Violence Against Women -- and Men
November/December 2012
A history of recent abuse increases the risk of death by 40% in HIV-positive women, U.S. researchers reported at the 19th International AIDS Conference, held in Washington, D.C. in July.
Of note, men were also discussed in the session "Reducing Women's Vulnerability and Reinforcing Empowerment Opportunities," which examined both risks for HIV and potential strategies for reducing them. A South African study looked at sexual assault against men and a study from Pakistan looked at working with HIV-positive men to prevent transmission to their wives.
Another presentation, from the U.S., explained the concept of "critical consciousness," a strategy for taking power in your life, and two reports discussed gender-based experiences in HIV care in Zambia and South Africa, in both men and women.
"Sex is biological," explained co-facilitator Changu Mannathoko from UNICEF as she opened the session. "Gender is social, but it is very, very complicated."
Abuse and Mortality
Kathleen M. Weber, R.N., of the Cook County [Chicago area] Health and Hospital Systems presented "The Effect of Gender-Based Violence (GBV) on Mortality: A Longitudinal Study of U.S. Women With and At Risk for HIV." Overall, women reporting a history of recent abuse were twice as likely to die in the timeframe of the study (1994-2007).
The findings arose from the Chicago unit of the Women's Interagency HIV Study (WIHS) cohort (basically, a research group of people with similar characteristics). The WIHS (pronounced "wise") cohort, which provides clinical care along with research, includes a group of HIV-negative women at high risk of infection for comparison. As could be predicted based on other research, all of these women had a high rate of lifetime abuse and violence, especially in childhood. The rate for lifetime history of abuse in the WIHS cohort is 72%.
When WIHS providers noted, however, a high rate of recent abuse, they decided to look at this and try to determine its impact on survival.
Weber said it's not surprising that women with a history of abuse would experience continuing or episodic abuse, pointing to well-established research findings showing just such a link, but the researchers were surprised to find that violence remained a constant in more than a full third of this group (36%). Moreover, the findings suggest that the background effect of violence on mortality may be hidden (or "masked," in statistical jargon) by the presence of HIV.
The study looked at 2,222 women (1,642 women with HIV and 580 HIV-negative) from the Chicago, New York City (Bronx and Brooklyn), and Washington, D.C. sites of WIHS. (The other two sites are Los Angeles and San Francisco.) Of the women in this study, 78% had a history of abuse at some point in their life.
Taking into consideration other risk factors such as smoking, depression, HIV infection, and lack of HIV therapy in the positive women, a history of gender-based violence remained a statistically significant risk factor for death. The HIV-negative women also had a higher risk of death if there was GBV, four times higher (or 400%). The number of deaths in this group, however, was only seven. "Still, abuse increased mortality," Weber said.
In her presentation, Weber noted the known connection between trauma and a host of negative health effects, such as depression, chemical addiction, and undesirable biological changes (including the production of the stress hormone cortisol and damage to the neuroendocrine and immune systems), arguing for continuing research into "possible biologic pathways underlying abuse-related sequelae [conditions resulting from previous disease]."
As background information, the WIHS study noted that, "Gender-based violence (GBV) is a human rights violation impacting the health of women globally. GBV increases risk for both HIV acquisition and transmission; HIV may increase risk for abuse. Prevalence of GBV is high (24-72%) among women with and at risk for HIV infection. Psychosocial consequences of GBV (unemployment, depression, and substance abuse) are associated with reduced adherence [to medication] and poor [health] outcomes."
The more recent abuse (in the previous year) experienced by the women reporting it included forced sexual contact, physical abuse or assault, or intimate partner violence (threatening to hurt or kill them and preventing them from: leaving or entering their home, meeting friends, making phone calls, attending school or work, or getting medical care).
Weber presented several strategies for turning the tide together on this violence. First, survival may improve with identification of current abusive episodes and interventions. Second, as stated above, continued research into the relationship of gender-based violence, trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and other stressful life events on the neuroendocrine and immune systems and the resulting impact on mortality. Third, health care providers can screen for violence and provide referrals "to keep women safe and alive." Fourth, a cultural shift toward a zero tolerance approach to family and community violence. Lastly, but even more ambitious, "gender equity, reducing poverty, increasing educational opportunities, and women's empowerment to challenge structural violence." ("Structural violence" refers to such problems as the high prevalence of rape both here and around the world, intimate partner violence, etc.)
Although the WIHS research summary included in its conclusions screening and referrals by health care providers, the solution may not be that simple. Weber noted during her talk that the women often don't follow up with referrals from WIHS to get help in dealing with the violence in their life.

These are some of the views and reports relevant to our readers that caught our attention this week.
Mobile Devices will Outnumber People by the End of the Year
"By the end of 2013, there will be more mobile devices on Earth than people, a new report suggests.
According to Cisco's Visual Networking Index Global Mobile Data Traffic Forecast Update, consumers' mobile appetite has grown a lot in the past year, and it shows no signs of slowing. In fact, Cisco predicts global mobile data traffic will increase 13-fold by 2017, with more than 10 billion mobile-connected devices by then. It also believes mobile network speeds will grow by seven times what it is now." READ MORE

Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis returned to practice this week. If it wasn't for NFL rules, he'd be ready to play in a game, too.
Fox Sports insider and NFL Network contributor Jay Glazer reported Sunday that Lewis is ready to go right now after recovering from his triceps injury. The Ravens expect Lewis to be available next week, when league rules allow him to return. Lewis has been out since being hurt Oct. 14.
Lewis was placed on injured reserve with a designated-to-return tag. Initially, it was believed Lewis would be lucky to return in time for the playoffs. Instead, it sounds like he'll return for the Ravens' massive Week 15 AFC showdown with the Denver Broncos.Follow Gregg Rosenthal on Twitter @greggrosenthal.

Latest Alzheimer's News
WEDNESDAY, Jan. 22, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Two experimental drugs for Alzheimer's disease have failed their clinical trials, proving unable to help patients with mild to moderate dementia, according to new studies.
Both bapineuzumab and solanezumab did not improve patients' ability to think and solve problems, according to findings published in the Jan. 23 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.
The drugs were intended to help people with Alzheimer's by clearing the amyloid beta protein plaques that typically clog neurons in the brains of people with the degenerative illness, the researchers said.
Neither medication improved patients' ability to think. "We were disappointed there was no clear clinical benefit," said Dr. Steven Salloway, lead researcher on the bapineuzumab study. Salloway is a professor of neurology and psychiatry at the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University.
Despite these findings, Salloway and other Alzheimer's researchers still believe research should continue on amyloid beta, given how prevalent it is in the brains of Alzheimer's patients.
Heather Snyder, director of medical and scientific operations for the Alzheimer's Association, said these types of drugs might be more effective if they are used to prevent Alzheimer's rather than treat it.
Snyder explained that amyloid plaques begin forming in the brain years before a person begins having symptoms.
"The underlying biology of what we see is occurring a decade or more before people have the clinical symptoms," she said. The theory is that by giving people anti-amyloid medications at that early stage, doctors might be able to prevent the onset of Alzheimer's.
The two medications are called "antibody" drugs. They both work by binding to amyloid beta and helping flush it out of the brain and body.
Hopes were riding high on these medications, which were given thorough clinical trials. The solanezumab trial involved more than 2,000 people, while the bapineuzumab trial included more than 2,200 people.
Bapineuzumab appeared to reduce amyloid buildup in patients, but amyloid continued to increase in patients treated with solanezumab.
Most crucially, neither drug had any effect on patients' ability to think or conduct activities of daily life.
Researchers did learn some things despite this setback, said Salloway, who is also director of neurology and the memory and aging program at Butler Hospital in Providence, R.I.
Both drugs were administered intravenously, and the clinical trials showed that this is an effective way to deliver medication. "We didn't know how Alzheimer's patients would tolerate frequent intravenous treatment, and they tolerated it very well," he said.
In addition, the bapineuzumab trial showed that medication can be used to effectively slow amyloid buildup, leading some doctors to believe that it could serve as a preventive treatment for people at risk of Alzheimer's.
"I know the consensus from the field is that amyloid plays an important role early in the disease process, so the earlier we can treat it the better the benefit," Salloway said. "We're hoping the use of these medicines earlier on will have more benefit."
According to news reports, Eli Lilly is planning another trial of solanezumab, despite these results. Pfizer, the maker of bapineuzumab, is not pursuing further research into its new drug.
Future research might need to shift focus toward combination therapies like those used to treat HIV, Salloway said.
"This will involve a little more creativity in drug development. Companies will have to cooperate and share data," he said. "We also need to have drugs that will lower amyloid more dramatically than they did in this trial."
Although research should continue to focus on amyloid, Snyder said, the Alzheimer's Association has always funded research into other potential treatments.
"It's really important to continue to research a number of different mechanisms that could explain Alzheimer's," she said. "We can understand more about how the immune system is involved, for example. It's important to understand what is happening during Alzheimer's."

In March, the United States turned over to the Republic of Seychelles 15 suspected Somali pirates for prosecution in connection with an attempted January 5 attack on the M/V Sunshine in the northern Arabian Sea and the abduction of 13 Iranian mariners rescued by the U.S. Navy aboard their captured fishing vessel Al Molai. The successful resolution of this incident marks another step forward in working with our international partners to see that pirates are brought to justice and underscores our ongoing commitment to promoting freedom of navigation worldwide.
As part of the United States' commitment to working with the international community in countering piracy, I traveled last week to New York City to lead the U.S. delegation at a meeting of the Contact Group on Piracy off the Coast of Somalia. In January 2009, following UN Security Resolution 1851, the United States helped establish the Contact Group, an ad hoc, voluntary group of close to 70 nations and international organizations that meets three times a year to coordinate national and international counter-piracy actions.
Through the Contact Group, the United States has focused on five key counter-piracy challenges:
• Coordinating multinational naval patrols off the Horn of Africa, in partnership with more than 20 nations, including naval ships from Combined Task Force 151, EU Counter Piracy Naval Forces' (EUNAVFOR) Operation Atalanta, and NATO's Operation Ocean Shield, as well as naval ships on national tasking from several nations, including Japan, India, China, and Russia;
• Developing and promoting effective self-protection measures to discourage pirates from boarding vessels, with support from the shipping industry and the International Maritime Organization;
• Bringing pirates to justice by prosecuting suspected pirates and incarcerating those convicted, and encouraging other nations to do so as well;
• Discouraging the payment of ransoms, which encourages further pirate attacks; and
• Developing ways to disrupt the pirates' financial networks, using tools similar to those used effectively against other forms of transnational organized crime.
In a communique following the meeting, the Contact Group:
• Recognized steps taken toward the development of counter-piracy messaging guidelines and continued efforts to develop effective strategic communications, including the use of social media;
• Placed a priority on prosecutions and imprisonment as a deterrent to piracy;
• Reiterated the importance of bringing suspected pirates to trial, including high-level suspects, and detaining those convicted, in Somalia as well as other nations in the region;
• Called on the international community, including the global maritime industry, to make continued efforts to facilitate more effective prosecutions of pirates; and
• Attributed the low success rate of attacks to many factors, including the application of best management practices by the shipping industry, the continuing naval presence, and the use of military vessel protection detachments and privately contracted armed security personnel.
While it is essential that nations bring pirates and their financiers and facilitators to justice, we recognize that continued long-term diplomatic engagement in Somalia will be essential to further progress in countering piracy. Ultimately, the problem of piracy will not be resolved until stability is restored in Somalia. To that end, the United States is committed to supporting the Djibouti Peace Process, the Transitional Federal Government (TFG), and other local and regional organizations who also want to discourage this criminal enterprise, which interferes with political reconciliation and economic recovery from decades of civil war in Somalia.
As Secretary Clinton noted at the February 23 London Conference on Somalia, the United States supports programs that strengthen the Somali judicial system so it can tackle piracy domestically. We will continue to deliver support of all kinds and to help build a broad and durable partnership with both the Somali Government and people.
Awale Ali K. in China writes:
PIRACY OFF THE COAST OF East Africa has grabbed headlines in recent years and now we can say one type of piracy is tackled,thank you and we are glad, but we Somalis strongly require and hope the other type of piracy (Pirates stealing fish) that has received far too little attention to be addressed . Pirate fishing in our Sea costing Somali fishermen their jobs and income of nearly a billion dollars a year, and is inflicting serious harm on our ocean environment. Can NATO The US and other concerned nations assist with that matter, ?

Could robotic systems create environments and bodies for themselves? To answer these questions, let's start with something simple (and most probable), and then open our discussion to include a somewhat more sublime, and more futuristic vision. Let's also lay down some basic presumptions about how a paradigm for such physically intelligent robots would be initiated and sustained. The establishment of a neurally-modeled, physically intelligent system capable of generative encoding would need to enable the acquisition of data, information, and therefore some type of "knowledge" about both the system itself (i.e.- interoceptive understanding), and the environments in which the system would be embedded and engaged (i.e.- exteroceptive understanding).

Creative Machines: On the Cusp of Consciousness?
I recently had the opportunity to chat with Lakshmi Sandhana as she was preparing her article, "Darwin's Robots" that appeared in last week's New Scientist. Lakshmi specifically addresses the work of Jeffrey Clune, of the HyperNEAT Project of Cornell University's Creative Machine Laboratory. Clune's work is cutting edge and provocative in its focus upon the possibility and implications of "creative", and "intelligent," if not "conscious" machines. But it's this last point about consciousness in a machine that really opens up a proverbial "can of worms". As a neuroscientist I believe that it's not a question of if this will happen, but when…and perhaps, more appropriately, how soon, and will be ready for it when it does, and as a neuroethicist I can guarantee that the idea – and reality – of conscious machines stirs up a brew of moral, ethical, legal and social contentiousness. But let's put these ethical issues and questions aside for the moment, and look into some of the possibilities spawned by neuro-robotic engineering.

Press Release
ACT UP New York Declares "HIV Emergency" at NYC Pride
June 28, 2013
New York City -- The AIDS Coalition To Unleash Power (ACT UP) will march at the NYC Pride Parade this Sunday, June 30th, to declare an HIV prevention emergency. New statistics released by the CDC confirm that more than half of young gay men or MSM (men who have sex with men) and transgender women may be HIV-positive by age 50. In response to this clear threat to the queer community, ACT UP demands an end to the denial that has allowed nationwide HIV prevention budgets to be slashed for years.
Even locally, the NY Department of Health has been cutting prevention funding where it is needed most. New HIV statistics show that an African-American MSM is 6 times more likely to become infected with HIV than a white MSM. "We see local AIDS service organizations, like Gay Men of African Descent, that help underserved communities are having their budgets slashed by the city. This lack of funding and an institutional denial about the realities of how LGBT people have sex are putting this new generation at risk," said member Annette Gaudino.
To take its sex-positive message directly to the streets, along with traditional condoms and lube packets, ACT UP will distribute a "Fuck Smarter Toolkit" with critical information to empower every individual -- positive and negative -- to use all available resources for personal prophylactic, behavioral and pharmaceutical prevention.
"Fuck Smarter! Fight Harder! FIGHT AIDS!" will be the banner message as ACT UP officially kicks off its HIV prevention campaign. With its allies in QUEEROCRACY, ACT UP also demands an end to the criminalization of HIV, which has contributed to the new epidemic by discouraging people from getting tested. Along with many original ACT UP members, a new generation of AIDS activists will march this Sunday. Veteran members and new activists are all invited to renew the fight against AIDS at this crucial time.

text: Microsoft's MPI stack has never used DAPL. V1 ("Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003") uses WinsockDirect. High-speed interconnects like Infiniband plug into this stack through the existing WinsockDirect provider interface. V2 ("Windows HPC Server 2008", coming soon) introduces a new provider interface called NetworkDirect which maps much better to the hardware. So far we are seeing excellent performance and the 2 microsecond latency quoted earlier is one example. Our V2 job scheduler also has a lot of performance improvements. If you care about how long the scheduler takes to submit, allocate, reserve, and activate a 1,000+ CPU job, I think you'll like that. This is really nothing to do with "Linux clusters" as it's largely a job scheduler issue and most job schedulers support multiple platforms.

Well, in that case the part of the argument that goes "You don't have any Linux admins in your organization" doesn't apply. But I could see the seductive line "You have a lot of faculty who are exclusively Windows, how will they use your Linux cluster?" used. BTW, isn't it still the case the Microsoft is exclusively using DAPL for their MPI? So yes, they do reduce performance on all high speed interconnects. > And then > things turned really strange after a statement saying that in Linux it > takes several minutes to start a parallel job while in Windows only > about 10 seconds.

Charles Duryea, 1895, courtesy David Greenlees
If anyone in America in 1896 was qualified to have an opinion on where the automobile would take us, it was Charles E. Duryea. Along with his brother J. Frank, he had been the sharp point of developing motorcars in the late 1880s, with their prototype rolling in the fall of 1893.
By that measure, he was an elder statesman when The Horseless Age, the first journal of the nascent industry, launched in 1895. Charles was already in the process of severing ties with his brother's Springfield, Massachusetts, operation, with his own bicycle operation in Peoria, and would soon start his own line of automobiles. He was also a regular contributor to HA and other magazines from early on, as well as lecturing and other activities which kept his name current.
In 1896, he published the following column in The Horseless Age, called "A Glimpse Futurward." It's both a round-up of the state of the industry, and a brief discourse on the potential of small gas engines. Some of his ideas, like the airplane, motorcycle and motorboat ("automobile boating," as it would come to be called, was more than 10 years off) were dead on. Less so was his notion that small, portable gas engines would proliferate – while utility engines were and still are used, they rapidly took a back seat to electric motors with the rise of electricity. Interestingly, he saw light gas engines as a solution to rural blight, suggesting they'd allow manufacturing to move into every small town and out of the city.
It is interesting, to many people, to look back over the past and see what has been accomplished in the years that have gone by: the battles that have been fought, the victories that have been won, or lost, the struggles and trials gone through, the successes accomplished or the failures recorded – these are all interesting to the student of history, and the pages of history, although in many, cases not so bright as we would like to see them, are both pleasant and instructive; but for pure, unadulterated pleasure, the pages of history are not to be compared with the pictures of air castles which may with reason be drawn, and which we may hope to see in the very near future.
We look backward over the century and trace the development of steam power in its effect upon civilization, and the picture is bright indeed. During that same century repeated attempts have been made to apply that same magnificent power, which has done so much in other lines, to the propulsion of vehicles upon the common highways of the land. Time after time this attempt has been made only to record a more or less complete failure, until less than a third of a century ago adverse legislation in England stopped attempts there and left the question awaiting development in other lands. America has had much work to do in many lines, and has not the good roads found in Europe, so that this question was not taken up in the United States until the last decade. France, however, possessing splendid roads, saw the advantages to result from automobile vehicles, and pushed forward. The application of steam was first tried, with fair success, and today we see abroad two styles of steam vehicles giving very good satisfaction.
A little later the application of hydro-carbon to an internal combustion engine, commonly called a gas engine, was made with success, and to-day it bids fair to be the power of the future for this purpose. Within the last year or so America has come to the front in this matter and, making a virtue of necessity, has produced machines of sufficient power and of such light weight as to be able to surmount the difficulties found in her imperfect roads. These very difficulties made it necessary to produce superior vehicles and for this reason the highest examples of the automobile vehicles are found on this side of the water!
So thoroughly is this recognized that in an advertisement lately circulated by the Imperial Institute management of London, Eng., there appeared four types of vehicles, of which three were American.
This development of a new or nearly new application of heat to the production of energy is destined to play almost as important a part in the history of civilization of the future as the application of heat in the form of the steam engine has played in the past. While the heavier work may be satisfactorily done by the steam engine, it will be found that a smaller and lighter gas engine will serve better in lighter work in the future.
For example, where the tendency in the past has been to concentrate factories in one place so as to use single sources of power, the advent of the light, cheap, powerful motor will permit them to scatter into the smaller towns and so counteract the prevailing tendency of the large towns to grow larger at the expense of the smaller ones.
But the greatest effect on civilization will be found in the many uses for light motors. Motor vehicles require a very high power in very light weight. They require that the engine should be free from noise, vibration, odor, and that it should not require much attention. Such a motor will be found useful in almost every household and in every shop of every kind for all classes of work.
Such a motor is easily moveable and can be taken from one job to the next without difficulty. Farmers will find it in many places far more convenient than animal power, and housekeepers will use it in many places where muscular power now is used.
In the application to vehicles alone it will be widely beneficial. Bicycles of all sizes will be equipped with it. Small, light-weight boats will be driven by it at high speeds, and there is no reason why our many streams and bodies of water should not become as popular pleasure resorts as the bicycle has made our common roads. Tricycles, carriages – both large and small – will be nicely adapted to the needs of everybody, and in a few years their prices will likewise be suited to the buyer's purse.
The experiments of such men as Maxim, Langley, Chanute and others no less prominent, but not so well known in America, assure us that ere many months we shall be able by the application of this light motive means to travel through the air at high speeds and with an amount of pleasure not before experienced in any means of locomotion. The motor vehicle is the incentive which has caused inventors to study the light motor problem, and therefore it is directly the cause of this step forward in the application of mechanical power, and it is well that inventors should be shown that their motors are applicable to other uses outside of the motor vehicle use. There is an enormous market to be filled, and there is no reason why many forms of motors cannot be successfully used in filling this market.
The writer wishes success to all who may enter this field and predicts a glorious future for those who succeed in producing motors which meet the requirements.

A judge on Tuesday ruled that Chevron Corp's chief executive must testify in the U.S. oil company's fraud case against Ecuadoreans seeking to collect on a $19 billion judgment against Chevron related to rainforest pollution.
John Watson, who became CEO of Chevron in 2010 and had helped integrate Texaco after Chevron's 2001 purchase of the company gave it ownership of the long-running Ecuador case, could give his deposition before an end-of-May deadline for evidence-gathering ahead of the October fraud trial in New York, a spokesman for the Ecuadoreans said.
Continue Reading Below
"To be sure, the rancorous history of this litigation lends credibility to Chevron's concern that the deposition has been noticed for purposes of harassment," James Francis, a magistrate judge in federal court in Manhattan, wrote in his ruling. "On the other hand, there is little doubt that Mr. Watson has relevant knowledge."
Beyond his monitoring of the litigation in the three years since he became CEO, Watson's experience leading the integration of Chevron-Texaco likely gave him personal knowledge of the issues underlying the Ecuador trial, Francis wrote.
"This is far from a trivial case," he added. "Enough is at stake to justify the deposition of an apex witness like Mr. Watson."
Chevron said in a statement that it "will of course comply with all orders of the court as it participates in the discovery process that continues to expose the plaintiffs' lawyers' fraud."
The Ecuadorean plaintiffs won the $19 billion-dollar judgment in their own country in 2011, after having first brought the case in New York court in 1993 before it moved to South America about a decade later. The environmental damage was supposedly caused by Texaco when it operated in Ecuador from 1964 to 1992.
Chevron says the Ecuador ruling is based on tainted evidence and therefore unenforceable. The Ecuadoreans have yet to collect on the award and are trying to enforce the judgment in countries where Chevron operates. Their action in Canada was halted by a judge there last week.
Francis also ruled that depositions could be taken from Edward Scott, general counsel of Chevron's global upstream and gas group, and Kroll Inc, an investigative and risk management company that Chevron retained in connection with the various related litigations.
The case is Chevron Corp v. Donziger et al, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, No. 11-00691.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Now that Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi has pushed through a new constitution, he has vowed to concentrate on the crippling economy, as well as on what he called "production, work, seriousness and effort" by the Egyptian people.
But tensions remain in Cairo and other Egyptian cities, where protesters continue venting anger over a constitution that (according to them) violates the rights of women and minorities, favors Islamists, betrays the pro-democracy revolution and deepens divisions inside the country.
Morsi insists the new constitution will stabilize Egypt and secure democracy.
What the Constitution Says
Some have hailed the document as being among the best constitutions in the world. Others charge that it is nothing more than a move to cement Muslim Brotherhood control of Egypt for the foreseeable future.
Not So Bad(?)
Amr Zakariya, an Egyptian scholar and a founding member of Afaq, an institute for Middle East Studies in Cairo, who is also known for his Facebook page "Talking Peace", stated, "The new constitution is much better than the one from 1971."
Zakariya claimed in remarks to Israel Today that the Muslim Brotherhood constitution is "well-balanced, fair and lacks any discrimination and inequality. The document vows not to interfere in religious matters of Christians and Jews, which is crucial for democracy."
Zakariya also saw the constitutions effort to combine two distinct forms of government – presidential and parliamentary – as beneficial for Egyptians. "It does give a lot of power to the president, but it also grants a lot of authority to the prime minister, who is appointed by the parliament," he explained.
The problem with that view, of course, is that Egypt's parliament is also dominated by the Muslim Brotherhood and allied Islamist factions, meaning Morsi won't have any problem passing laws, no matter how abusive they might be.
By Islamists, For Islamists
Many of the constitution's critics in Egypt have charged that the document was drafted by a panel made up almost exclusively of Islamists eager to tighten their grip over Egypt.
Zakariya disagreed: "The constitution was crafted by a group of people coming from different backgrounds. Only one third of them were Muslim Brothers," though he failed to give the percentage that were from other Islamist parties.
Regardless, the pundit insisted that Islamists are legitimate members of the parliament since they were elected in free and democratic elections.
Stabilizing Factor, or Source of Division?
"It's unfortunate that some people try to link this constitution to the Muslim Brotherhood and present it as the enemy of the people, even though it can be beneficial for the country," lamented Zakariya. "I didn't vote for Morsi. Nor did I support Islamist parties. But I do back the constitution even though it was proposed by the Muslim Brotherhood, primarily because it will stabilize Egypt."
However, stability doesn't appear to be on the horizon.
Seven of Morsi's leading advisers have resigned over the past month, with some saying they had not been consulted over the president's moves. Crowds took the resignation of top-ranking officials as a protest against biased and undemocratic constitution. Violent clashes erupted in Egypt's major cities, killing at least eight people in Cairo and injuring dozens others.
Zakariya blamed minority and foreign forces: "Of course there are people who oppose the constitution, but they are the minority. A lot of poor and uneducated people voted against the draft, brainwashed by the liberal [Egyptian and foreign] media that tried to present the document as a manifesto of radicals eager to tighten the noose around Egyptians' necks."
But in a country where 28 percent of the population is illiterate, "the poor and the uneducated" can be a significant number able to determine the outcome of the vote. Zakariya elaborated: "Apart from Salafis and Muslim Brotherhood voters who backed the constitution (roughly 20 percent of the total population), the draft was also supported by the high and middle class Egyptians, the educated layers that understand the benefits of the document."
Threat of Civil War
The question is: if the rift between the two camps is so wide, is there a possibility of a civil war?
Zakariya said it was out of the question. "Firstly, we don't have any ethnic groups that could trigger such developments. The only situation in which a civil war would be possible is a major confrontation between Muslims and Christians, but I don't see it happening any time soon. Secondly, the army won't let it happen. It will come to the defense of the people just like it did during the [January 2011] revolution. And, thirdly, Egyptians don't have the weapons to stage a war. Arms are still controlled and regulated by police and the armed forces." [Editor's note: Those are the same armed forces that the new constitution made beholden to the Muslim Brotherhood.]
The Council on Foreign Relations, a US-based think, echoed Zakariya's views, concluding that the possibility of an Egyptian civil war was low due to divisions within the opposition.
"There is a real struggle for power in Egypt between the Islamist forces and the secular opposition, which is extremely fragmented," noted the council. "[But] the two sides are not fighting with the same weapons. The Muslim Brotherhood are fighting in the electoral arena, not necessarily because they are more democratic, but because they can win the elections. … The secular opposition does not have the support of a unified organization to win elections and are using the courts to bolster their own power." [Editor's note: Again, these are the same courts whose powers of governmental oversight have been significantly reduced by the new constitution.]
What About Israel?
How will the new constitution influence the Israeli-Egyptian ties?
Ruth Wasserman Lande, a PhD Candidate on Israeli-Egyptian relations at Oxford University and former deputy chief of mission at Israeli Embassy in Egypt, summed up the situation thus:
"The [Egyptian] constitution is problematic in the sense that it allows a significant concentration of powers in the hands of the President, without enough checks and balances as is required in a modern-day democracy.
"Nonetheless, this is an internal difficulty. Contrary to others, I do not believe that the nature of the constitution and Morsi's leadership will necessary cause a serious rift in Israeli-Egyptian relations, given mutual strategic interests.
"[But] I feel that the US has a critical role here and one which should not be missed. Moreover, the EU is completely silent and unheard on this issue, while it should engaging in a constructive role as a body that encourages cooperation between Egypt and Israel for the benefit of both sides as well as regional stability."

Menemen is a Turkish dish traditionally eaten for breakfast, but I even eat it at night. It's quick, easy, healthy and suitable for vegetarians. It's basically a Turkish omlette.
Here's how to make it..
- Green Peppers
- Tomato's
- Olive oil
- Eggs
- Salt & Pepper to season
1) Chop the green peppers into small chunks.
2) Heat up some olive oil in a pan and add the chopped peppers and fry until cooked.
3) Chop and squeeze the juice out of some tomato's.
4) Add to the pan and fry for 2 minutes.
The finished result should look something like this...
Let me know if you try it!

Get Your Crow On
Representatives from the Shangri La Botanical Gardens and Nature Center say time is running out to enter family, business, church, school or organization entries into the second annual Scarecrow Festival. Oct. 15 is the last day to register an entry for the Scarecrow Festival, which takes place Oct. 26 through Nov. 27. "It's a fun time for businesses, schools, organizations and even families to express themselves in a creative way with their scarecrow design. We encourage everyone to reuse or recycle materials for their design, but the imagination is the limit to what can be created," said Michael Hoke, director of Shangri La. There is no fee to enter a scarecrow into the event, and applications are available at several locations including the Orange Public Library, the Greater Orange Area Chamber of Commerce, the City of Orange Convention and Visitors Bureau and online at www.shangrilagardens.org.


text: Hi again, i started a topic a few days ago asking advice about getting a knife, after several replies and reading a lot on this and other forums....well...I am more confused tha before. I will tell you a little bit more about myself, I cook at home, almost every day and weekends, I started culinary school but the knife will be used at home. I wont be using it several hours a day, so I can adapt to the knife id neccesary. I own a few Wusthof Classic Ikon knives (8" chef, 4" paring and 6" sandwich) which I take care a lot. After every use, I clean them and put them away. Now, the japanese knife I am looking for must be a good knife that will last me a lifetime but also must beautifull, I must admit that was one of the reason that I bought the whustof ikon's beside having good reviews of course. Also I dont have skills using the stones to sharp the knives, I was thinking of getting a sharpmaker to begin. My budget is under $200, but if it really justifies I can go a little above that. This is a list of the knives I have seen: - Hiromoto AS (http://www.japanesechefsknife.com/Te...akuSeries.html) - Fujiwara FKM (http://www.chefknivestogo.com/fufkmgy21.html) - Masamoto VG (http://www.japanesechefsknife.com/VG...EIGHT: 181px) - Tojiro DP (http://www.chefknivestogo.com/tojiro-dp-f-8081.html) - Tohigaru Moly (http://korin.com/Shop/Togiharu-Molybdenum) - Misono UX10 (http://www.chefknivestogo.com/mi.html) I liked this one a lot but I must find a really good reason to expend this kind of money. Thanks everyone for their time and comments

Inmate Gary Patrick Topham has escaped again from the Logan County Detention Center in Paris. He was reported missing from his cell Tuesday morning.
Logan County Chief Deputy and Jail Administrator David Spicer said he believes Topham escaped while in the jail's exercise yard between 2:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. Monday but the escape wasn't reported to jailers until 4 a.m. Tuesday, around 13 hours later.
"We are currently conducting an investigation into why we weren't told until 4 a.m.," Spicer said.
Topham was being held awaiting transport to the Arkansas Department of Corrections.
Topham, 49, is a white male weighing approximately 165 pounds and approximately six feet tall. Topham has brown hair, brown eyes and wears glasses. Topham was last seen wearing his black and white striped jail issued uniform and orange sandals.
Citizens are asked to call 911 if they see Topham or call 963-3271 if they have any information.
The details of the escape are still under investigation and more information will be released later, according to the Sheriff's Department.
This is the second time Topham has escaped from the detention center. He escaped on Nov. 4 by climbing a chain link fence topped with razor wire surrounding the jail's exercise area. He was captured in Booneville on Nov. 7 and returned to the jail. Topham was originally jailed on Nov. 1 following an appearance in 15th Judicial District Circuit Court in Booneville. He was charged with failure to appear, fleeing, manufacture of meth or cocaine and possession of a controlled substance.

It's pretty safe to say we are all eagerly awaiting the official announcement and release date of Blizzard's upcoming sure-to-be-mega-hit, Diablo 3. But according to PC Gamer, it looks like the folks over at Blizzard had to wait for an announcement themselves as one of the more seemingly controversial aspects of the upcoming sequel, its real money in-game auction house, was a stumbling block in Blizzard's quest to get South Korea's ratings board to approve it.
For those that might not know, Blizzard announced back in July 2011 that it would allow players to officially buy and sell in-game items for real money using the games auction house. Part of this strategy was most likely in response to the amount of "gold farmers" (websites that sell in-game gold for real money) riddled throughout most MMORPG's like Blizzards other popular franchise, World of Warcraft. However the move has been met with some criticism with gamers and fans alike stating that those gamers with less disposable income would be at an inherent disadvantage when it comes to weapons, items, and armor in the game.
While that may be a harsh reality we have accepted in day to day lives, it's not something gamers generally wish to adhere to in a game, especially when games are meant to transport us from our often mundane and harsh realities.
But now it appears that they won't have to, well at least in the South Korean version of the game as Blizzard has agree to remove that feature altogether.
It appears Blizzard was met with some difficulty about the in-game auction house because of its use of real world money to purchase goods. South Korea's ratings board declared that playing the game with the potential for financial gain is akin to gambling and goes against the countries strict anti-gambling sentiments. If Blizzard wished to see Diablo officially released in South Korea then it needs to comply with local laws and remove the feature, which it has.
We don't imagine Blizzard will be met with the same issues here in the States, but anything is a possibility. For now, we will have to wait and see whether there is a growing controversy over Blizzard's decision to incorporate a real money in-game auction house and if gamers will ultimately love or loathe it.
What do you think about Blizzards plans for a real money in-game auction house? Let us know in the comments section.

Renée De Voursney talking at the AU Ruby Conf about the trials and tribulations of learning Ruby.
Renée De Voursney - Teaching Ruby for fun and profit from Ruby Australia on Vimeo.
She talks about context and how there are so many disparate moving parts to get to grips with before one can "become" part of the Ruby community. Gaining a basic understanding of all the moving parts that encompass not only the Ruby language itself, but the social norms of RSpec, Git, Gems, Github, RVM, *nix, Macs, TDD and various command line tools, is too much of a hurdle for many people to jump.
The biggest problem with a complete novice trying to get into programming is always some sort of feedback loop that will give them the justification to carry on. I'm a great believer in learning by debugging, but at the same time, giving the novice quick wins is important. Get them up and running quickly from nothing (and I mean nothing - no tools installed on their machine yet) to "hello world" in ten minutes.
It's a difficult task. People have a variety of operating systems from various flavours of Windows through Linux boxes and OSX machines. Providing a generic one-size-fits-all is nigh on impossible. Fragmentation sets in. People blog about their frustration and put up tutorials that work on their uniquely configured environments. They try to find work-arounds to annoyances like not having admin rights on computers to circumventing firewall rules that seem to get in the way of any sort of gem installation. It isn't long before someone who just wanted to take Ruby or Rails for a quick ride is hitting their head against a brick wall. And the brick wall is usually just tooling.....it isn't even the code.

There are plenty of old bald fat naked guys on the streets and beaches of CA, especially near SV. Well, that does it. Out of ideas. Guess one has to fall back on the old standbys, pulling one's hair out by the roots, cursing, drinking heavily, sacrificing chickens, running 48 hours of large-prime-number generation, or (my personal favorite) buying from a tier 1 vendor who also sells you 3 years of onsite service so you pick up a phone and say in delicate tones "Gee, these three nodes crash as soon as they start to actually work -- fix them. Now." This is really the basic difference between tier 1 and tier 2. You can save short term money with the latter, but have to do things like just plain throw out hardware -- after sweating over it for a long time, nagging your tier 2 vendor, getting angry, losing a lot of productivity and time. For some projects that works -- for others it doesn't. Note that I'm not asserting any sort of TCO bullshit advantage to one or the other -- as long as you spend some of the money you save on throwaway and replacement you can minimize losses as long as you aren't TOO unlucky you can do fine with tier 2, but you do need to recognize up front the trade-offs of the decision and deal with the additional hassles with a sigh if not a smile...;-) rgb > > > James Lux, P.E. > Spacecraft Radio Frequency Subsystems Group > Flight Communications Systems Section > Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Mail Stop 161-213 > 4800 Oak Grove Drive > Pasadena CA 91109 > tel: (818)354-2075 > fax: (818)393-6875 > -- Robert G.

In the Soviet Union, the rights of mothers and children are strictly protected by the law. For example, in addition to a four month maternity leave, every working mother has the right to take breaks during work for nursing until the infant reaches the age of nine months. But it seems that the administration of school 130 in the Soviet district of Moscow considers that this rule does not apply to its school.
I have worked as a teacher for nine years, and am in my first year at school 130. Returning from maternity leave, I placed my infant in a nursery school. At first, I was able to nurse him regularly, every three hours. But because I could not nurse my infant during the break between classes (20 minutes), I was always late by 10-15 minutes.
These minutes of tardiness were not absences, because I have the right to an additional half-hour besides these 20 minutes for nursing my infant. But the head of instruction and the school director, after repeated warnings, have ordered me to either stop nursing my infant or quit working in the school, because they consider that the class (42 pupils) cannot and should not be left without a teacher for even a minute.
I completely agree with the orders of the head of instruction and the school director that pupils should not be left without a leader for even the shortest amount of time. But it does not follow from this that I, as a teacher-mother, am not able to lead the children in lessons.
This unequal battle has resulted in the victory of the school administration. Despite the orders of a doctors, I had to stop nursing my infant and switch to artificial food, which quickly had a negative effect on the childs health.
I consider that the approach to me taken by the head of instruction and the school director demonstrates an unwillingness to let a teacher-mother have normal conditions for bringing up a healthy infant.
It is possible to find a solution to this situation that does not harm the children and does not violate Soviet law by providing a substitute during this break or by drafting a schedule so that the pupils have another teacher after three hours.
I love the work of teaching and do not want to give it up because of this temporary condition. In the current situation, I demand only that the administration of school 130 provide a little flexibility and human sympathy, so that I can continue working and bringing up my infant normally.
