A bizarre and interesting insight into contemporary American culture
Sandy Levinson
I strongly recommend an article in the NYTimes on an "Amber Alert" that apparently work up thousands of New Yorkers at 3:51 AM. Among other things revealed in the article is that cell phones sold in the past couple of years are automatically configured to receive such alerts (though, apparently, there's a way to disable that feature). But what's really interesting are the "comments" following the article. I am struck by the number of people who insist that waking up thousands of people in the middle of the night is a small price to pay for getting the word out that there's a child in distress. They condemn as "heartless" and "selfish" the (altogether reasonable) response that, as a practical matter, there is absolutely nothing that anyone can really do and it can be very disruptive to be awakened in the middle of the night. There are comments about what such a response says about American society.....
Waking people up in the middle of the night for amber alerts which they will not do anything about will increase the number of people who ignore amber alerts or deactivate the ability to receive them.
Keep them on road signs and/or during the day when people are moving around and able to keep their eyes and ears open. Otherwise like overload of information in other areas (pharmaceuticals etc)we will ignore or disable amber alerts
"Why isn't it sufficient to rely presumptively trained and capable police forces in such situations? Is there evidence that alerts "work"?
Police cannot ever begin to be everywhere. The amber alert is meant to deputize the populace to gain far larger coverage.
The results are hit and miss. They are harmless if done passively over the media. When the government hijacks my cell phone, they have crossed the line.
The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children offers the following statistics: each year in the U.S.,
* aproximately 800,000 children younger than 18 were reported missing
* More than 200,000 children were abducted by family members
* More than 58,000 children were abducted by nonfamily members.
Assuming those numbers are correct and that New York City's share of them is the same as its proportion of the U.S. population (about 2.5%), the city's share of those figures should be roughly 20,000; 5,000; and 1500. So, just focusing on those abducted by family members, such as the case in the article, if there were an Amber Alert about every one of those cases it would be about 13 or 14 alerts per day, or an alert on everyone's phones every 90 minutes or so, day and night, 365 days a year.
Obviously, that is untenable and will not happen. So I wonder what process exactly the police use to decide which cases of family abduction are deserving of amber alerts. I'm sure there is a method to it. But one suspects that some of the worried family members of the OTHER 90+ children who were abducted by family members in New York City in the same week as the child in the article might have some views about this matter. In any event, I have yet to hear evidence that this system of alerts is any more effective than, say, some of the "security theater" at airports and the like.
Thanks for taking the time to discuss that, I really feel strongly about it and love learning more on that topic. If achievable, as you gain competence, would you mind updating your blog with more information? It is highly helpful for me. buy gold
The dirty little secret of child abduction, almost never mentioned in news coverage: the vast majority of the time, it's someone the child knows. "Stranger danger" as commonly presented, is a myth.
What this means for Amber alerts: if you're going to have them, you can hardly exclude abductions by family members.
just focusing on those abducted by family members, such as the case in the article, if there were an Amber Alert about every one of those cases it would be about 13 or 14 alerts per day, or an alert on everyone's phones every 90 minutes or so, day and night, 365 days a year.fut 14 coins elo boosting fifa ultimate team coins lol boostPost a Comment

Production of the Mustang started in Dearborn, Michigan on March 9, 1964 and the automobile was presented to the public on April 17, 1964 at the New York World's Fair. It is Ford's 3rd oldest nameplate currently in production. Original sales forecasts predicted less than 100,000 units for the first year. This mark was surpassed in 3 months from rollout. Another 318,000 would be offered during the design year (a record), and in its first eighteen months, more than one million Mustangs were built.
Buy Classic Ford Mustangs
All these were VIN-identified as 1965 models, but several changes were made at the standard opening of the new model year (beginning August 1964), including the addition of back-up lights on some designs, the intro of generators to change generators, and an upgrade of the V8 engine from 260 cu in to 289 cu in. In the case of at least some six-cylinder Mustangs fitted with the 101 hp 170 cu in Falcon engine, the rush into production included some unusual peculiarities, such as a horn ring bearing the 'Ford Falcon' logo design underneath a trim ring emblazoned with 'Ford Mustang.' These attributes made adequate distinction to warrant designation of the 121,538 earlier ones as "1964 1/2" model-year Mustangs, a difference that has withstood with perfectionists. Mustangs For Sale in Pine Mountain GA are easy to find now with online shopping.
The 1973 OPEC oil embargo brought with it more rigid contamination laws and the desire for fuel-efficiency. This was likewise the very first time in automotive history that the Huge 3 were needing to take on imports. The brand-new Mustang II was smaller sized than the first variation but, due to the added equipment needed to fulfill new United States emission and safety policies, was heavier than the very first design. Efficiency was lowered and in the first year just 385,993 cars were offered.
2nd generation Mustangs for sale in Pine Mountain GA were offered in between 1974 and 1978 and readily available in a coupe and hatchback version. 1979 the Mustang was redesigned a third time. This time it was based upon the bigger Fox platform and the interior was truly huge enough for four people. The trunk was bigger therefore was the engine bay. The body designs readily available consisted of a coupe, hatchback and in 1983 a convertible. In 1979 the Third generation Mustang acted as an Indianapolis 500 pace car and Ford constructed 10,478 commemorative reproductions. The third generation Mustangs were produced from 1979 to 1982.

PIERRE PART, LA (WAFB) - It's been nearly four months since gas bubbles were first reported on Bayou Corne.
"The problem is not going to go away until we find the source of the gas."
Frustrations rose to the surface as residents affected by the sinkhole in Bayou Corne voiced questions at a special town meeting in Pierre Part on Thursday. Representatives from Texas Brine observed the meeting but it was those not in attendance that garnered the most attention.
"We need to get someone in here that's going to take care of every in concern. We are wasting our breath and time."
Time is a major concern for residents after Texas Brine released an update saying the sinkhole had grown about 25 feet.
John Achee who organized the town meeting says updates should be presented to the people affected the most, adding it's been more than a month since any parish or state agency has hosted an informational meeting.
"The situation is too dynamic and fluid and there are so many unknowns you would think a meeting every week is appropriate," said Achee.
What is not appropriate according to state representative Karen St. Germain is to put the blame on the Department of Natural Resources.
"I can tell you I follow DNR and they are not allowing any agency to do anything that is out of line or not handling anything that these people request," said St. Germain.

RICHMOND — When Carlos Martinez was 11 years old, he jumped the border in Arizona between Mexico and the United States and made his way across a desert for four days and three nights with his younger sister and a group of about 20 other immigrants, led by a "coyote," a person paid to smuggle people into the country. After the journey, Martinez and his sister joined their mother in Salinas.
He attended schools in the community and wanted to go to college but was told by his high school counselor that he couldn't, because he was undocumented.
"I was the first in my family to graduate from high school, so that was a big thing for my mom," the soft-spoken 23-year-old said recently. "But I didn't know what was my future. So, I worked cutting lettuce in the fields for six or seven months."
Martinez's future would not end in the fields. Today, he is the co-founder of Community Leaders Organizing Undocumented Dreamers, or CLOUD. The nascent group has already held two large outreach events for immigrants interested in applying for President Barack Obama's new deferred action program, which allows young illegal immigrants to avoid deportation for at least two years and apply for work permits and driver's licenses.
The core group, formed about three months ago, is collaborating with organizations such as Catholic Charities to help educate people about the law and screen them for eligibility. And the group's young leaders are determined to help more people, with the goal of working toward wide-ranging changes in immigration law.
"We are fighting for something bigger than just deferred action," said group co-leader Jose Juan Reyes, 21, who emigrated from Mexico with the help of a "coyote" when he was 8 years old. His mother was detained three times at the border before getting through on her own. "We are fighting for comprehensive immigration reform, which includes us, our parents, and something that would lead to citizenship for us."
Martinez's journey from lettuce picker to immigration rights activist was helped by a combination of timing and ambition.
In 2008, he heard about AB540, which exempts qualifying illegal immigrants from paying higher out-of-state fees at state colleges. He enrolled at Hartnell College in Salinas and cofounded a group to help undocumented students, "Mas Fe," or "more faith."
Later, he transferred to San Francisco City College, where he got involved in a group for the undocumented, Students Advocating for Equity, or SAFE. Soon afterward, Martinez said he and a friend formed the first community college resource center for undocumented students, Voices of Immigrants Demonstrating Achievement, or VIDA.
"I've been organizing for five years with the undocumented movement," said Martinez, who moved to Richmond about a year ago and began a civic engagement internship with the Contra Costa Interfaith Supporting Community Organization in June. The internship was funded in part through a Dream Summer Scholarship.
It began three days after Obama announced the country would provide temporary "deferred action" work permits and protection from deportation to immigrants who were younger than 30 and had entered the country illegally before age 16. More than 82,000 people have applied for the permits since the program was announced a month ago.
The announcement opened a world of possibilities for Martinez. His internship supervisors were excited about the law and asked him to help spread the word.
"This was a hot topic — a new topic," Martinez recalled. "They said: 'Your job is to start a new group.'"
The leaders' infectious spirit inspired Dina Barriere, 22, who came to California at age 3 from El Salvador. She said her immigration status never seemed to be an issue until she realized she couldn't get a driver's license.
"That's when my whole world came crashing down and I figured I wasn't going to amount to anything," she said.
Later, she enrolled in San Francisco City College, where she met Martinez.
"Carlos has gotten me to where I am now in terms of leadership-building skills, because he saw that I had the potential," she said.
"Now, he's created such a big movement in Richmond."
Adam Kruggel, executive director of the interfaith organization, said CLOUD is a testament to the young immigrants' passion and integrity.
"In my opinion, this is part of a movement for freedom that has really captured the hearts and imagination of the country," he said. "I am so excited about the future of this country when you look at them and see how committed they are to the idea of America — especially when America did not welcome them with open arms — and see that they fought and fought to have a rightful place here. It's only going to make our country a better place."
Martinez said the response has been incredible.
"What got me was, we met for less than a month and we were able to pull off this event and 300 people showed up," he said. "It was all youths who took ownership and decided, 'We're going to educate the community.' That's not going to go away for me. I was surprised. I was shocked. It was so beautiful."
Staff writer Matt O'Brien contributed to this report.
About AB 540
The bill allows some undocumented students to be exempt from paying higher out-of-state tuition at state public colleges and universities if they attended a California high school for three or more years, received a California high school diploma or equivalent, and submitted an affidavit to the college or university declaring that they meet the above requirements and have filed an application to adjust their immigration status or intend to file one.
California Dream Act
The act gives illegal immigrants access to need-based, state-funded scholarships in the fall and Cal Grants and other state financial aid in 2013-14.
It allows young illegal immigrants to seek temporary work permits, protection from deportation and a California driver's license.
Two-year, renewable work permits are for immigrants 30 or younger as of June 15 and who brought to the United States illegally before age 16.
To qualify, immigrants must be in school, have earned a high school diploma or equivalent, or served in the military.
Applicants cannot have committed any serious crimes and must have lived in the country continuously since 2007.
A $465 fee is required.
Details about deferred action and how to apply are available by calling 800-375-5283 or by going to www.uscis.gov/childhoodarrivals. Details about the California Dream Act are at www.csac.ca.gov/dream_act.asp.

Here are some shots of a Toyota MPV circulating in Indonesian forums and websites. Taken from a factory line, these images are likely to be of the new Toyota Avanza. The rear shot shows it lining up behind a Toyota Rush SUV, which of course shares the same platform as the Avanza.
The compact seven seater Avanza may be over eight years old now, but it still rules the sales charts in Indonesia. It's also a success in Malaysia, but the late 2009 introduction of the Perodua Alza has seen Avanza sales whittle down to a couple of hundred units per month. Toyota recently gave its IMV trio of Innova, Fortuner and Hilux a revamp, and it looks like the Avanza is the next!
The front end is quite similar to that of the Etios and Etios Liva in India, and that wide grille is also seen in the Corolla Altis 2.0, so it looks like Toyota wants the Avanza to have more of a "car look". None of the three recently facelifted IMV models carry this look. While the changed face brings a more rounded and sculpted look, it remains to be seen in the metal if it gels with the Avanza's boxy shape.
At the back, the more rounded theme continues, and the tail lamps now wrap into the sides. We can also see a new line on the profile between the wheels that sweep up gently, in addition to the current curves that highlight the wheel arches.
Besides the latter, more evidence that this is more than just a simple front and rear nip/tuck is in the different shape of the rear quarter glass/D-pillars, as well as the rear screen, which appears to have more rake on the new car.
If this is indeed the new Avanza, it won't be coming so soon, if at all. UMW Toyota will be busy rolling out the refreshed IMV trio first (Hilux is already out, click here to read our report) and Malaysia already has the more stylish and modern Perodua Alza for this segment, so perhaps the Avanza isn't top priority. What do you think?

It's a swarm of bugginess and stupidity on a level on unimaginable incompetence. Safari has become completely unusable, so I am posting this using Firefox, and the new iBooks wiped out all my PDF's, most of which were our Z8 related stuff like the owners manual and all the Club tech docs that I really like having on my iPad & iPhone to have all the info on our cars in my pockets or trunk when we're out.
I'm putting all Z8 related PDF's up on a Dropbox so you can download and replace in case you already got Mavericks and thus lost all yours. Here's the link, they're about 1.5GB of PDFs.

I Need to Celebrate
- I found a tiny piece of my watch bracelet, it was attached to a canister of coconut from my mom's condo! How fortunate is that!
- I delivered a commissioned graffiti style art quilt on canvas. Its going to Saskatoon to a young lady. I had fun making this piece.
- I picked up my art pieces from a friend. They had been in a show in Georgetown and I found out I sold an older floral piece I had contemplated in cutting up and recycling.
- I am looking forward to see what happens next.
- Alas, I can't find a photo of that Art Quilt.

Review: Owl live at Bowery Electric
Photos by G.
California based rockers Owl came to New York last night and played the Bowery Electric on May 19, 2013. Moments before the show started, technical problems at the venue threatened the gig, but luckily the Bowery Electric was able to pull it together in time so that Owl could end our weekends on a rockin' note. If you are unfamiliar with Owl's music, you'd not leave one of their gigs disappointed if you like The Cult (of which lead singer Chris Wyse works with them) or Alice in Chains. One of the highlights of their hour long set was the interaction between lead singer Chris Wyse and guitarist Jason Achilles Mezilis. During many songs, Wyse and Mezilis traded guitar and bass licks back and forth and the non-verbal conversation went over really well with the packed house at Bowery Electric.
You can stream Owl's latest album "The Right Thing" on their official website. The link will open in a new window. Thanks Owl for a great night. I had a hoot! (OK, that was a bad pun even for me).

The Bayanihan project was initiated by the Open Source Group in Advanced Science and Technology Institute last October 2001. Its main goal is to provide the best alternative desktop solution to Filipinos. In details, it aims to provide a better hardware support, operation simplicity, speed, efficiency, stability and Windows portability.Board: Intel Corporation D102GGC2
So now let's find out if this government sponsored distro is worthy to be called one of the Linuxes.
Test Machine Specs:
So now let's find out if this government sponsored distro is worthy to be called one of the Linuxes.
Test Machine Specs:
Processor: 3.40 GHz Intel Pentium D
Hard Drive: Samsung 80GB ATA
Memory: 2GB DDR2 RAM
Display: ATI Radeon X1050 [Display adapter]
You can download Bayanihan Linux4.0.iso by clicking here. The installation CD is only about 700MB. I installed Bayanihan via VMware v5.5 on my OpenSuse 10.1 system. So it was Linux on Linux. It only took about 15 minutes to complete the installation and the latest version of Anaconda, Bayanihan's Fedora based installer, is a breeze to use and much simpler than the older version. The installation was completely finished without a single problem. Audio and Ethernet worked fine. The screen resolution was at 1280 x 1024 on my 17" Samsung Syncmaster monitor.
Look and feel:
Bayanihan has a KDE 3.5 desktop. Any Filipino will know that this distribution is made by Pinoys by just looking at the default desktop. The K menu has a sun with 8 rays that can seen on our national flag. It doesn't have Beryl or Compiz eyecandy but it does have commendable artworks like its default wallpaper and boot splash image. Like any other KDE desktop, it is highly configurable.
Package Management:
Some important softwares are already installed in Bayanihan. To name a few, it has Firefox 2.0 as web browser, Gimp 2.2 as image editor, OpenOffice 2.1 for office applications, MPlayer 1.0 for multimedia, Python 2.3 and Perl 5.8 for programming, and if you are into 3D modelling there's Blender. You can always use its Synaptic package manager to add packages that you like or easily uninstall some software that you don't need.
I have only tested this distro for about two hours and only in VMware. I haven't encountered any noticeable bug the entire time. Bayanihan comes with Guarddog firewall and ClamAV antivirus, so I can say that it could run stable for a much longer period of time as it is safe and secure to use.
Wish List:
1. Java and Shockwave Flash should be installed by default
2. A Gnome version
3. A live CD installer
4. Compiz or Beryl eyecandy
5. A redesigned Bayanihan website
This is a very clean and simple Linux distribution filled with ready to use software for educational purposes and for productivity. The easy installation which is ideal for beginners is what I like most. This could be a worthy Windows replacement if our government is concerned about saving some national budget because Bayanihan Linux is totally FREE.
UPDATE: Bayanihan Linux 5.0

Plea Deal in Crash that Killed Minnesota Coach's Son
GLENWOOD (AP) — A 38-year-old man accused of driving drunk and killing a Minnesota coach's son has agreed to a plea deal.
Dana Schoen of rural Starbuck pleaded guilty Tuesday to amended charges in Pope County District Court.
The court administrator's office tells the Independent of Marshall that Schoen pleaded guilty to three counts of criminal vehicular operation.
In July, Schoen's pickup collided with an SUV carrying Southwest Minnesota State University men's basketball coach Brad Bigler.
Bigler's 5-month-old son, Drake, was killed. Bigler was critically injured. His wife, Heather, who was driving the SUV, and her 74-year-old grandmother, Sharon Schuler of Granite Falls, also were hurt
Schoen's plea deal includes an admission of a blood-alcohol content of 0.32 percent, four times Minnesota's legal limit.
Sentencing is set for Jan. 25.

Miranda Lambert, 'Over You' – Lyrics Uncovered
In a recent interview with People Country, Miranda Lambert breaks down the inspiration behind the 'Over You' lyrics, her most recent chart-topping hit. Lambert wrote the tune with her superstar husband Blake Shelton, putting ink to paper to tell the moving story of his older brother Richie's death.
"[The hook of the song] came from something Blake's dad said," notes Lambert. "He said, 'You don't ever get over it, you just get used to it.' The hurt passes, but you don't ever get over it."
"Weather man said it's gonna snow / By now I should be used to the cold / Mid-February shouldn't be so scary / It was only December / I still remember the presents, the tree, you and me," they wrote in the opening verse.
"After Richie died, Blake said Christmas wasn't fun for a long time because of all the memories — the presents and the time together, and then it all just going black in your mind," Lambert explains of the 'Over You' lyrics. "The melody Blake was playing sounded like winter to me, so I just threw [those] lines out [about it being mid-February]."
"Cause you went away / How dare you? / I miss you / They say I'll be OK / But I'm not going to ever get over you," they wrote in lyrics to the emotional chorus.
"When Blake said [the line 'How dare you?'], we both just started crying," recalls Lambert. "This line changed my whole perspective of the song. I never lost anybody that close to me, so I didn't realize the anger. You hear about the hurt and the sadness, but you're mad too!"
"Living alone, here in this place / I think of you, and I'm not afraid / Your favorite records make me feel better / Cause you sing along / With every song / I know you didn't mean to give them to me," they continued in the lines for the second verse.
"Blake would always drive around with his brother singing along to Randy Travis and Hank Jr.," Lambert said of the inspiration behind the verse which is based around music. "Blake's dad gave him all of Richie's tapes, and Blake would just listen to them and hear Richie's voice. We laughed when we wrote [the last line in that verse] because Blake was like, 'Richie would've been so pissed I got all those records!'"
"It really sinks in / You know / When I see it in stone," Shelton and Lambert wrote in the heart-stopping bridge.
"This is the line where people who thought this was a song about a love gone bad realize [it's about someone who died]," says Lambert. "It all becomes clear."

As we slip into summer, we can't help thinking about the season's colorful wildflowers and those playful yellow-bellied marmots sprawled out on rocks soaking up the sun mid-way up Pikes Peak. You can catch them in their sunny splendor when you climb aboard the Cog Railway, the historic, fire engine-red cog railway that has been taking passengers from Manitou Springs to the summit of Pikes Peak for more than a century. First, a few facts: this is the highest cog railroad in the world and the highest altitude train in the U.S. The 8.9-mile trip lasts just over three hours and rewards passengers with views that are nothing short of spectacular. You'll also see deer, elk, mountain lions and one of the state's largest herds of Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep. On a clear day, you can even see five states. A few helpful tips: Dress warmly; it can be many degrees cooler 14,115 feet up. Drink plenty of water before climbing aboard and don't be alarmed if you feel a bit wheezy at the top. Prepare to be wowed - these stunning views inspired the lyrics to "America the Beautiful."

We're focusing on living in small spaces all month long. We're inspired by the ingenuity and style packed into Lilliputian quarters and walking through our archives is a real treat! Grab a glass of sweet tea, and come tour ten tiny spaces from our Apartment Therapy readers, all set in the gorgeous, steamy south.
1. Casey Marie utilizes lots of natural light and tall ceilings to make her 565 sq. ft. studio flat in Raleigh seem expansive.
2. Vernon's 730 sq. ft. Houston apartment has a gorgeous history and beautiful details — be sure to check out the bookcases in the bedroom!
3. David's 392 sq. ft. Austin studio is tech-friendly and super smart in designating separate spaces.
4. Zach built a loft in his 505 sq. ft. Miami home to maximize space and make the most of his floorplan.
5. Part tent, part open air dwelling (outside shower, anyone?), this small, primitive space in Texas is proof that we just might need less stuff than we think!
6. At 550 sq. ft., Joanna's small Atlanta space is well-apportioned — she works from home and has planned her home carefully; she estimates that one-fourth of her space is utilized solely for her business.
7. A gorgeous view of the Houston skyline complements Adam's smart, colorful 763 sq. ft. home.
8. Will packs his living space, a home office, three bikes, and two cats into his colorful and modern 800 sq. ft. home in Greensboro.

Abbot, Jacob: Makers of History - Romulus. V1. 18 June 2009
Jacob Abbott (November 14, 1803 October 31, 1879) was an American writer of children's books.
Abbott was born at Hallowell, Maine. He graduated from Bowdoin College in 1820; studied at Andover Theological Seminary in 1821, 1822, and 1824; was tutor in 1824-1825, and from 1825 to 1829 was professor of mathematics and natural philosophy at Amherst College; was licensed to preach by the Hampshire Association in 1826; founded the Mount Vernon School for Young Ladies in Boston in 1829, and was principal of it in 1829-1833; was pastor of Eliot Congregational Church (which he founded), at Roxbury, Massachusetts in 1834-1835; and was, with his brothers, a founder, and in 1843-1851 a principal of Abbott's Institute, and in 1845-1848 of the Mount Vernon School for Boys, in New York City.
In writing the series of historical narratives to which the present work pertains, it has been the object of the author to furnish to the reading community of this country an accurate and faithful account of the lives and actions of the several personages that are made successively the subjects of the volumes, following precisely the story which has come down to us from ancient times. The writer has spared no pains to gain access in all cases to the original sources of information, and has confined himself strictly to them. The reader may, therefore, feel assured in perusing any one of these works, that the interest of it is in no degree indebted to the invention of the author. No incident, however trivial, is ever added to the original account, nor are any words even, in any case, attributed to a speaker without express authority. Whatever of interest, therefore, these stories may possess, is due solely to the facts themselves which are recorded in them, and to their being brought together in a plain, simple, and connected narrative.

that everything was just, I don't know, different? In a non-specific, if-you're-not-part-of-the-solution-you're-part-of-the-problem kind of way? I mean, I don't have a concrete idea of how I would like things to be, just not as they are now. Studying is going badly, knitting is going slowly, my mom wants a pair of acrylic house socks …
Anyway. This is my cat, Alice. She's the love of my life.
I adopted her last September from a local shelter. We've been living happily together ever since; she doesn't care about my studying or my knitting — as long as I keep breakfast and dinner time regular, she's happy as can be. Simple pleasures.

My Dear Dr. Graeme Moyle,
I laud you for all your excellent efforts is trying to improve efforts to fight against this horrible disease.
Please feel free to write any input at the bottom of this call to action. Thank you from all of us who write to you at here at this site.
I am writing simply to encourage the infected patients here who read at the site to take action as you state in numerous replies.
It is true that we have gone a long way in the fight against the aids epidemic, but we now come to point in time that needs dire attention.
We now find ourselves with patients dying due to the complaceny of the infected public. Many of us, rather hide or attempt to hide our status for as long as possible rather than to take charge and lead the action!
This my dear friends is all troublesome and ineffective in solving our problems regarding hiv.
We need to write our congressmen, senators, and join our local aids act up and organization groups.
They need new life, need reinforcing support, new troops, and new strength.
Our fight, for new less toxic medications that prevent our loved brothers and sisters from dying due to NOW INCREASING RESISTANCE, HEPATOXICITY, INCREASED LIPIDS, PANCREATIC FAILURE, OR LACITIC ACIDOSIS.
I ask that we propound efforts to introduce new medications that prevent the formation of lipoatrophy and lipodystrophy. Many of us have to resort to new-fill or bio-alcamid and other methods. I haven't even began treatment and i have facial wasting in the temple region. You could be next, who knows?
The bottom line: we need to show the public that we have a significant interest in making a difference. It is now a necessity to get products researched for we can one day take a drug that prevents facial wasting rather than getting possibly dangerous fills.
And to give back to our brothers and sisters the equal access to healthcare and medications that they deserve that certain states in union had ceased to realize. The fight may have started in the early 80's but my dear comrades the battle has just begun.
We are stressing a peaceful yet effective movement that will bring advances to the hiv field. I for one, hiv infected, still wish to be a doctor. Others wish to be teachers, others policeman, some sports players, others actors.
Join me, fellow comrades, encourage others whether infected or not. This disease affects all and we must take charge. If we don't take action now, we risk losing the dreams of those who gone before us as the spectacular Arthur Ashe, Fred Mercury of Queen, the great Liberace, or even the still living and battling Earvin "Magic" Johnson.
These figures my dear comrades are all heros! They live/d with the toils of this disease but they never refused to fight.
We must take action. Write your congressmen, support your clinical trials, and encourage GlaxoSmithKline, Gilead Sciences, and Bristol-Myers. The time is now!!!!
I am going to sign up for a clinical trial with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, http://www.governmentguide.com/ams/clickThruRedirect.adp?55076483,16920155,http://www.cdc.gov/nc
Will you be brave and join me! You all make me proud!
Remember brothers and sisters, complacency is no longer sufficient!
Dr. Graeme Moyle, I salute you for all your efforts! Please keep doing all the work you do. All your efforts have not gone unnoticed!(please input your comments below). Thank you again!
Maxwell Anders Hartford Hiv Infected two years New Jersey
Response from Dr. Moyle
Thanks for you efforts too Maxwell
supplements for facial wasting?

STRANGE BUT TRUE- Symbiosis: Mouse keeps plants alive
Q. Put a mouse in an airtight chamber and soon it dies. Put in a plant and– not quite as fast– it dies too. But what if both are enclosed together?– Mrs. Frisby
A. This 1772 experiment by Joseph Priestley, discoverer of oxygen, proved plants need to breathe as they grow, says Guy Murchie in The Seven Mysteries of Life. The suffocation of the plant was remarkable enough at the time. Even more surprising was Priestley's discovery that enclosing a plant and animal together meant both could live!
This seeming miracle resulted from "the animal inhaling oxygen and exhaling carbon dioxide, while the plant accommodatingly did just the reverse." Out of this grew the custom of bringing plants into sickrooms, theretofore kept shuttered tightly against "harmful" outdoor air.
Q. Does embalming do as advertised and slow a body's return to dust? –C. Dracula
A. "Yes, no, and maybe," answers Kenneth Iserson in Death to Dust: What Happens to Dead Bodies? Intense embalming can slow decay for years, even centuries. But embalmers typically take short cuts, focusing more on body areas mourners will see, such as the face, neck and hands.
"Anybody seriously interested in slowing a body's decay must get a better-than-average embalming job," Iserson says. One strategy is to inform the embalmer you'll be checking up later. One guy who came back a year after his mother's entombment in a mausoleum found her body badly decomposed, in spite of earlier assurances by the embalmer.
"He sued the funeral home– and won," Iserson reports.
Q. From an evolutionary standpoint, why might it be so difficult for baseball batters to hit a good curve ball? Early humans certainly didn't have to deal with one of these back during the Stone Age. –B. Bonds
A. The human visual system just isn't equipped to track the curved course of a fast-spinning ball, whether a baseball or a soccer ball, says Queen's University, Belfast psychologist Cathy Craig in New Scientist magazine. She recalls watching Roberto Carlos score a mesmerizing goal for Brazil in 1997, when everybody felt the ball was going wide of the mark until it curved in at the last instant.
But don't overhastily blame the goalkeeper, she says. She tested experienced soccer players to see if they could follow (predict) the trajectories of balls with rapid sidespin of 600 rpm– via a virtual reality display–and they couldn't. Sidespin creates a "Magnus force," just what a baseball pitcher relies on for a curve ball. This force accelerates balls in a direction we humans are unable to process because spinning things don't occur naturally, meaning we have had little evolutionary experience with Magnus. Catching fly balls is different: We've had to anticipate the effect of gravity on moving objects throughout our long history.
All of this helps explain why even the best baseball batsmen get only about one hit in every three chances.
Q. This food's fat content is 50 percent saturated, 50 percent un-. The omega-3 acids are linolenic (0.9 percent) and arachidoni (0.6 percent). Overall protein content varies, as do carbohydrates and fats: at the start of a "serving," the fat runs lower, the sugar (lactose) and water higher, until the fatstuffs really kick in. The food itself has about 750 calories per liter (1+ quarts), which would do (a very small you) just fine for a day. You've likely had your share, though long ago, and in this sense you know it well... –A. Vaughan
A. Mother's milk it is, of the "fore" and "hind" varieties per feeding, the reason the content shifts, says John Emsley in Vanity, Vitality, and Virility: The Science Behind the Products You Love to Buy.

Intel director won't detail Trump conversation
The nation's intelligence director says he won't comment on a news report that President Donald Trump asked him to publicly deny any collusion between his campaign and Russia.
Dan Coats is testifying Tuesday before the Senate Armed Services Committee.
He was asked about a Washington Post story that said Trump asked Coats and Michael Rogers, the director of the National Security Agency, to push back against an FBI investigation that's been examining potential coordination between Moscow and the presidential campaign.
Coats did not deny the report but said he didn't want to characterize or comment any private conversations with the president.

Lancers break up no-hitter in 7th in 5-1 softball loss to Oxford
In the Notre Dame-Fairfield/Oxford rivalry in the SWC's Patriot Division, softball truly is a game of inches when it comes to pitching milestones.
Notre Dame coach Ron Barber recalled how the Lancers missed breaking up Wolverines' pitcher Ashley Guillette's perfect game last year -- in a 12-0 loss in Oxford -- by a matter of inches. On Monday afternoon at Notre Dame, the Lancers did not fail this time in another opportunity at being spoilers.
Lancers third baseman Becky Stefanatos slipped a grounder in the third base/shortstop hole barely out of the reach of Oxford shortstop Megan Sastrum's glove with one out in the seventh inning. Guillette, a two-time All-State pitcher, wound up with a one-hitter in a 5-1 victory, the Wolverines' fourth in a row.
Five days earlier, Guillette shut down Brookfield with a perfect game in a 4-0 win for the defending CIAC Class S champions. Guillette lost the shutout in the fifth inning Monday on two walks, a stolen base and a fielder's choice -- plus some unlikely, wide-scale confusion. The Wolverines' infield thought the second out, a fielder's choice out at second base, was the third and watched as Emily Schofield raced home from second base when Oxford did not react to her dash.
This was Guillette's day. She struck out 16 Lancers and walked two. Guillette struck out the side in the first and third innings and struck out two batters each in the other five innings.
Many of the swinging strikes by Notre Dame batters would best be described as partial waves of the bat as the ball had already crossed the plate. Guillette dominated with velocity and location. Stefanatos had two weak swings before placing the ball perfectly on her clean single.
"Some kids don't have a problem hitting her," Oxford coach Jim Husar said of his junior pitcher, who surpassed 300 strikeouts in each of her first two seasons. But he acknowledged there aren't many of those batters out there.
Guillette improved to 8-1 on the season, which is Oxford's overall record. The Wolverines raised their SWC Patriot Division record to 5-0. Notre Dame fell to 7-3 overall and 2-3 in the Patriot. The Lancers had won three of their previous four games.
"It was nice to get that hit," said Barber, the Lancers' assistant coach last year. He said Guillette is the best pitcher Notre Dame has encountered this spring, "by far." Stefanatos' play in 2014 leads Barber to believe she could be a candidate for All-State honors.
Barber was pleased with the performance of Notre Dame freshman pitcher Shelby Nolan, ordinarily the Lancers' second baseman. Freshman pitcher Madison Letizia (7-1) missed the game because of a back injury, but Barber said he expects her to return later in the week. Nolan gave up seven hits and one walk. She struck out two.
Nolan walked the game's first batter. One out later, Kaley Kempf singled but an error allowed both base runners to score, giving Oxford a 2-0 lead. Kempf blasted a two-run home run way over the Notre Dame left fielder's head in the fifth inning.
Husar was impressed with Nolan, particularly for being the Lancers' No. 3 pitcher. He praised Notre Dame's defense, which committed one error after the first inning and made a few sparkling plays.

Best Wyoming Towns for Young Families Named
NerdWallet sought out the best Wyoming towns for young families. They analyzed cities and towns across the state and asked the following questions:
- Does the town have good public schools?
- Can you afford to live there?
- Is the town growing and prospering?
Towns had to have populations of more than 2,000 to be considered, and out of 36 Wyoming cities that made that grade, their winners are as follows:
1. Lovell supports a strong LDS community and a great educational system. Juniors at Lovell High – which earned a near-perfect rating from GreatSchools – scored two points higher than the state average on the ACT last year.
2. Glenrock is a 25-minute commute to Casper, the second-largest city in the state. Glenrock has seen tremendous growth and economic development in the last decade, thanks in part to the mining industry. Extraction and construction jobs, for example, employ over 10% of the population in Casper.
3. Sheridan is fantastic for young families who love the great outdoors. Residents can hike, camp, hunt, fish, climb and more in the area. For example, just to the west is the back entrance to the Big Horn Mountains, which peaks at a 13,000-foot summit.
4. Afton is home to a large LDS community and well performing schools. Last year, Star Valley High School was awarded a National Blue Ribbon for its high academic achievement and improvement; it was one of just 219 public schools recognized that year.
5. Powell prides itself on its proximity to natural beauty. It is just southwest of Bighorn Lake and northeast of Buffalo Bill State Park – which, in turn, is at the eastern gate of Yellowstone National Park. Powell is also home to a two-year community college, which educates full-time and part-time students as well as supporting the greater community with workforce training.
6. Lander may be small, but it still features what you might expect from larger cities in the state. Lander maintains a strong arts community, including regularly rotating exhibits and classes at the Art Center. Natural spaces in the town are among the most accommodating in Wyoming, too; Lander is a haven from the strong winds that affect much of the rest of the state.
7. Buffalo offers beautiful mountain vistas and an Old-West feel. It is at the foot of the Big Horn Mountains – a popular camping destination – and a few miles south of Lake DeSmet, where residents can boat, fish for trout and more.
8. Worland is a small community removed from the hubbub of big-city life – the closest Walmart is over 100 miles away. Sporting fans can still find plenty to do in Worland. The natural landscape gives residents a place to hike, camp, ski and more, and a community center on Culbertson Avenue includes facilities for basketball, soccer, dance and karate.
9. Cody is one of Wyoming's hubs for recreation. Every year, for the Fourth of July, people from around and outside the state come to town for the Cody Stampede. Throughout the summer, too, residents can catch a show at the rodeo nightly. Cody is also home to tourist destinations like the Buffalo Bill Historic Center, which includes five separate museums; this small city is also a mere 50 miles from Yellowstone's East Entrance.
10. Newcastle has the resources of a big city in a small-city setting. It also boasts a number of recreational opportunities. The town sits at the southwest corner of the Black Hills, where residents can hunt, fish, snowmobile and more.

Kitchen Before & After: Amanda Hesser's Budget Kitchen Makeover
Let's say you wanted to make over the look of your kitchen (which you detest) but feel, rightly, that it would be unwise to spend a huge amount of money on a full renovation. What approach would you take? What would you do? Well, we should all take inspiration from Amanda Hesser's recent kitchen makeover, which turned what was rapidly becoming a dated space into something more sophisticated and modern, better tuned now for the video and photographic work done every week in this kitchen. Want to see the after?
Dark to light, right? We think it's pretty stunning!
Hesser's kitchen was renovated by previous owners before she bought the Brooklyn Heights apartment. It had a lot of the signature luxury items of a high-end kitchen: Sub-Zero fridge, Viking stove, Miele dishwasher. She installed a pantry in the dining room for extra storage space, and then proceeded to use that kitchen hard for the next 10 years. Hesser says she tested over 1,400 recipes there, and now it is the site for weekly photo and video shoots for Food52.
But the kitchen wasn't ideal. Some of those "luxury" touches made Hesser uncomfortable. Cherry wood cabinets and shiny green marble showed up unpleasantly on video, and the kitchen felt dark and dated.
So Hesser decided to renovate, on a budget. This kitchen was the place where she spent the most time, and it was the place that visually represented her business. Hesser hired a new designer, Lithe Sebesta, who helped her get the kitchen freshened up and freshly styled. A few months later, she has what she calls a serene gray kitchen, not to mention a fresh dining room area — and all within her modest (by New York standards) budget.
Amanda Hesser's kitchen designer: Lithe Sebesta
It turns out, too, that the budget constraint was actually a blessing. Hesser has smart insights on the benefits of budget renovations:
It made me wish I'd done all our previous renovations on the tightest possible budget. First, because you don't make lazy decisions, get bitten by the-most-expensive-must-be-the-best bug, or buy everything at once.
Second, because you must work harder and more creatively to get every detail done — every little knob that you track down on sale, every fixture from a little-known shop in Brooklyn, feels like a triumph, and you appreciate the results so much more. I've never been this happy with a renovation.
So, what did her budget cover? How did this kitchen move from cherry-cabinet-green-marble-darkness to the lighter, sleeker look you see here? First: Lots of resurfacing, including painting the cabinets and honing the marble countertop. The contractor cleverly masked the tile backsplash with concrete-covered boards, and Hesser and Sebesta searched out lighting and cabinet hardware that fit in the budget. There are smart upgrades and small but important improvements throughout this kitchen makeover, from re-covered chairs to a painted refrigerator.
See photos below of two of my favorite upgrades: The smart, inexpensive backsplash solution, and a fresh walnut butcher block countertop.
We rather adore this kitchen makeover. It transformed what was rapidly becoming a dated look into something more modern, much better for photography and video (key to Hesser's business), and altogether more lovely. Many more photos and details, including budget and notes on each step of the process, can be seen at Food52. Go take a peek, and let us know what you think!

The Stories Behind Your Favorite Banjo Songs
These five books contain articles
which were originally published
in the Band's newsletter,
The News and Views.
They contain little known facts about the composers, lyricists and entertainers that brought us the music we love.
Volume I
Did you know that our Beer Barrel
|Volume II
Did you know that the
Hoover Vacuum Cleaner Company
adapted "The US Field Artillary March"
("The Caissons Go Rolling Along")
as their company song, entitled
"All the Dirt All the Grit"?
That and much more in Volume II.
|Volume III
Did you know that "My Mammy,"
arguably the song that defined Al Jolson,
was originally introcuced in Vaudeville
by William Frawley, who later became
Fred Mertz on the "I Love Lucy Show?"
That and much more in Volume III.
|Volume IV
Did you know that Al Jolson originally introduced
"If You Knew Susie" in the show "Big Boy"
but it bombed?
Jolson gave the song to Eddie Cantor
and Cantor made it a huge hit.
Later Jolson told Cantor,
"Eddie, you dirty dog, if I'd known
that song was that good,
I'd have never given it to you!"
That and much more in Volume IV.
Volume V
The morning after Irving Berlin wrote
"White Christmas" —
he often stayed up all night writing —
he went to his office and told his musical secretary,
"Grab your pen and take down this song.
I just wrote the best song I've ever written — hell, I just wrote the best song that anybody's ever written!"

Peninsula Banjo Band Board of
The PBB was organized in 1963 as the Cupertino Banjo Band. As it grew and attracted members from all over the Peninsula bordered by the Pacific Ocean and the San Francisco Bay its name was changed to the Peninsula Banjo Band. The band was incorporated as a nonprofit organization in 1975. Membership varies from 45 - 70 and includes plectrum and tenor banjoists as well as wash tub bass players.
The PBB has performed at many public and private affairs including street festivals, retirement homes, private parties and grand civic occasions. It performed at the anniversary celebration of the Golden Gate Bridge, the reopening of the cable cars, San Francisco's Black and White ball, Candlestick Park, the Cherry Blossom festivals, Music in the Park in San Jose, the opening of the San Jose Convention Center, special events at the De Young museum and for President Clinton and Vice-president Gore. Most recently, the band performed at the opening ceremony of The Tech museum in San Jose.
The band has been directed for 47 of its 50 years by Charlie Tagawa, a master of the tenor banjo.

A mother from Georgia was forced out of her church for breastfeeding her child during a service, reports WSAV TV. Nirvana Jennette, a mom of four, was asked to go feed her baby in a bathroom by church leaders. When Jennette refused and attempted to discuss the matter, her pastor compared her to a stripper and called breastfeeding "lewd."
According to Georgia law, a mother is allowed to breastfeed her baby anywhere. If an establishment prohibits public breastfeeding, an alternative location must be provided—bathrooms do not count.
Plus: Companies Busted for Not Giving Working Moms a Place to Pump
"Do they realize the germs that are in there? Would someone else want to eat in a bathroom? If I say, 'Here is a sandwich, go on into the bathroom to eat,' that person would be disgusted!" Jennette said.
Plus: Sh*t People Say… to Breastfeeding Mothers
Jennette has made it her mission to raise awareness about the stigma sometimes associated with breastfeeding and to establish greater legislative protection for breastfeeding mothers in Georgia. As she explains in her petition letter on Change.org:
"Currently Georgia state law allows a mother to nurse her child anywhere that mother and child have permission to be, but there is no enforcement provision. A law without enforcement protects no one. New legislation would provide for civil action against anyone subjecting a nursing mother to harassment or discrimination in violation of the current state breastfeeding law, as well as protection from all indecent exposure laws."
Plus: 15 Breastfeeding Celeb Mamas
Taking to Facebook, Jennette is calling for moms and other supporters to join her in a statewide nurse-in at five locations across Georgia on Monday, March 5th.
Do you think it is appropriate for a mother to breastfeed in a church? Do you see it as any different than nursing elsewhere in public?

Schneier Picks Apart Cyberwar Hype
from the good-work dept
He points out, correctly, that cybersecurity is important, but elevating it to a bogus "war" is dangerous:
We surely need to improve our cybersecurity. But words have meaning, and metaphors matter. There's a power struggle going on for control of our nation's cybersecurity strategy, and the NSA and DoD are winning. If we frame the debate in terms of war, if we accept the military's expansive cyberspace definition of "war," we feed our fears.Instead, he notes, almost all of the known "examples" of cyberwar are either cybercrime or espionage -- which are not the same thing. As he points out:
We reinforce the notion that we're helpless -- what person or organization can defend itself in a war? -- and others need to protect us. We invite the military to take over security, and to ignore the limits on power that often get jettisoned during wartime.
If, on the other hand, we use the more measured language of cybercrime, we change the debate. Crime fighting requires both resolve and resources, but it's done within the context of normal life. We willingly give our police extraordinary powers of investigation and arrest, but we temper these powers with a judicial system and legal protections for citizens.This is an important point. No one is saying that online security isn't important. We're just questioning whether it's really a "war" that requires the military to be heavily involved or if there are better options. It's great to see some in the security field start to speak up on this subject as well.

Carney calls GOP senator's rape remarks 'an alarming disregard for women'
The White House says comments by a Republican lawmaker about rape show, quote, an "alarming disregard for women."
Spokesman Jay Carney was talking about Arizona Republican Rep. Trent Franks and his assertion that incidences of pregnancy resulting from rape "are very low." Franks is sponsoring a bill to ban almost all abortions after a fetus reaches the age of 20 weeks.
Carney says the White House issues takes "great issue" with the comments. And he says the remarks have shone attention on the bill in a way "Republicans wish the public would forget."
Several recent court decisions have struck down similar state laws, and the GOP-backed bill has little future in the Democratic-led Senate.

London: The Blancos defender hopes that the Portuguese attacker signs a new contract at Santiago Bernabeu, and he also believes that Iker Casillas` omission was blown out of proportion.
Raul Albiol wants Cristiano Ronaldo to remain at Real Madrid as he considers the forward to be the best footballer in the world.
Although the Portuguese star has not intimated a move away from Santiago Bernabeu, his `unhappy` episode in September showed that his future is far from concrete.
And Los Blancos defender Albiol said he hopes that the former Manchester United forward remains a Madrid player for the foreseeable future.
"I don`t know if he`ll renew his contract or not, but Cristiano Ronaldo is the best in the world," Albiol told reporters at a promotional event in Valencia on Thursday. "And we want him to be with us for as long as possible."
Albiol also spoke out against the furore that has been caused by club captain Iker Casillas being dropped by Jose Mourinho for Madrid`s 3-2 defeat by Malaga in the final match before the current winter break.
"After 10 years as the No.1 keeper, the day Casillas is on the bench is a surprise for everyone," the defender admitted.
"But at the same time, the controversy it`s generated has been too much. Even Iker said so.
"We should forget about these things that come from outside and work as hard as possible to win trophies in 2013."

Forty years ago, Congress enacted the Clean Water Act to end pollution of our rivers, lakes and bays. Since then, New York has taken the lead on water protection by maintaining some of the best water quality laws in the nation.
However, Gov. Cuomo has recently proposed lowering the clean water standards for factory farms in New York. He is putting our water in jeopardy with this plan, instead of helping farms to meet the state's strong water protection standards.
New guidelines are being crafted by the Environmental Protection Agency that would ensure better protection of our waterways from factory farms across the country.
As the rest of the nation is moving forward with water protection, now is not the time for New York to be stepping backwards. Guidelines and standards that keep our rivers and lakes protected should be upheld and enforced, rather than allowing our standards to be lowered and putting the places where we love to swim and fish in danger.
