She Wore Blue Velvet
Continuing my single minded attempt to get on "Master Chef", I offer you, dear gourmands, my latest triumph.
It's getting towards the end of the month. And while it's only spitting distance to the next infusion of cash in the form of a pension payment - the bank account is resoundingly empty. This usually means recourse to the credit card or selling off the family jewels. Except today, I am determined to hold my head high. Anyway "Dash For Cash", the pawnbroker that put the porn back into lending, have banned me from their outlets - over a small shortfall in my account settlement. OK, I skipped the country.
Not for me a trip to Waitrose to reinforce my fantasy that I'm married to Mrs Brad Pitty. Instead it's a thorough excavation of our ice free fridge/freezer to see what remains from the Great Melt.
I am surprised by two alien inhabitants of the upper reaches of the fridge. They're between the wreckage that is my experiment with loofers and courgettes and an unopened tin of fermented Whale Shark - guaranteed to melt taste buds at 3 nautical miles. Except I remember they are the fag ends of a Butternut Squash and a Sweet Potato wrapped in tin foil.
I have also been to the allotment today; in the hope that my field of white sprouting broccoli, which has remained dormant for 11 months, is starting to "sprout". I can't deny things are on the move. Little sprouts of white stuff are gingerly peeking out and by the weekend (I said that last week) we should be feasting on these little starlets of the brassica family. But not today. However I was able to retrieve a few of the red onions, so optimistically planted a year ago, that haven't been eaten by the rats, mice, foxes, pigeons or the tramp that has taken up residence in my shed.
Therefore my ingredients for tonight's extravaganza are nob ends of squash and sweet potato, and red onions. A quick Escoffier on Google unearths billions of red onion recipes, usually with goat's cheese, but nothing which takes full account of my limited ingredients.
This called for creativity of the highest order.
I cut up the squash and sweet potato, put them in an oven proof dish adding plenty of olive oil, fresh pepper and sea salt and roasting them in a moderate 190C oven so they felt the heat. I then thinly sliced three large red onions and sweat them in olive oil and Costco's best Balsamic vinegar 'til Hell freezes over.
Meanwhile I made a simple pastry, with 125 g of plain flour, a pinch of salt and 55 g of unsalted butter which I introduced to a sadistic food processor to mix to a crumbly mixture. The addition of 30 ml of cold water, a further beating and wrapped in cling film gave the short pastry dough a " Blue Velvet" moment it would never forget. It spent 15 mins in the fridge to cool off.
I lightly buttered an 9 inch pastry dish and rolling out the pastry lined the dish, which I filled with the mashed roasted butternut squash and sweet potato mixture. On top I placed the sweated, and by now unctuous, red onion. Rounding off the pie with finely crushed dry red chillies and fresh rosemary.
The pie went into the oven at about 200C for as long as it took to crust up the pastry, and get a confession. It was served with fresh coriander.
I was pleasantly surprised by how yummy it was. As was the missus, who had read the previous post and wasn't too happy about my references to her handbag. So as we say in the East End -"a result".

By Stephen Muzzy, Senior Associate, Second Nature
(This article appears in the June, 2012 issue of The ACUPCC Implementer)
The ACUPCC's 5th year celebration also marks an important stage in the ongoing, unprecedented efforts of the network to publicly report on activities to eliminate operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and to provide the education, research, and community engagement to enable the rest of society to do the same. Because of these tremendous efforts the ACUPCC Reporting System now includes 1585 GHG reports, 465 Climate Action Plans, and 240 Progress Reports on the Climate Action Plan! Public reporting by ACUPCC signatories demonstrates transparency and integrity for each institution's commitment and contributes to the collective learning of the network and general public. The ACUPCC Reporting System also allows signatories to track, assess, and communicate progress to their campus community and beyond, demonstrating to prospective students, foundations, and potential private sector partners that their institution is serious and transparent about its commitment to climate change and sustainability. The individual efforts taken together are demonstrating impressive results and the growing impact of the network to prepare graduates and provide the necessary solutions for a sustainable future.
Making an Impact
The ACUPCC's earliest signatories have had more than four years to assess, plan and begin implementing their Climate Action Plans allowing them to:
- Build institutional capacity to foster career preparedness for their students through curriculum development
- Secure funding for and from climate and sustainability efforts and;
- Demonstrate leadership in institutional research and innovation
Understanding sustainability is requisite for career preparedness in the 21st century. ACUPCC institutions are employing a range of innovative approaches to ensure that climate and sustainability issues are incorporated into the educational experience of all students. The 240 institutions that submitted a Progress Report on their Climate Action Plan to date have reported the following data:
- 76,935 graduates covered by sustainability learning outcomes.
- 175 signatories combine to offer 9,548 courses focused on sustainability
- 112 require all students to have sustainability as a learning objective
- 66 have offered professional development to all faculty in sustainability education.
- 49 have included sustainability learning outcomes in institutional General Education Requirements.
- 37 have included sustainability in fulfilling regional or state accreditation requirements.
- 18 have included sustainability learning outcomes, tracks, or certificates in every academic major.
- 11,223 faculty members are engaged in sustainability research
- 119 signatories have faculty engaged in sustainability research
- 114 have a program to encourage student climate and/or sustainability research
- 85 have a program to encourage faculty climate and or sustainability research
- 67 have a policy that recognizes interdisciplinary research in faculty promotion and tenure.

If you work at an office, what is something that you probably use almost every day? Whether you need to write a quick reminder note, print a report, mail a letter, or construct a mini-airplane, sooner or later you're going to need paper!
While it's always best to reduce waste when we can through digital options, sooner or later a hard copy becomes necessary. And that's when recycling comes in handy!
Recycling Options for Paper:
If you work at a business with a single-stream recycling program, paper is captured with a variety of other recyclables like plastic bottles, cardboard boxes, aluminum cans, and so on.
When office paper contains confidential information, it's best to destroy in a secure manner through a shredding provider like COPS Paper Shredding. Instead of putting paper in the recycle bin, it's stored in locked containers before being shredded. But no worries! 100% of the paper that COPS shreds on-site for businesses is recycled at Midwest Fiber and diverted from the landfill.
Whichever method you use to recycle paper at work, there are ways of making your individual strategy more convenient.
For example, papers not containing confidential information can be placed in a box under or near your desk. This way, you don't need to stop what you're doing every time you want to recycle a sheet of paper. And when your box is full, you can make one trip to the bin instead of fifty little trips. Unless you're participating in an intense step-counting challenge, one trip is usually the more desired option!
Did you know that Midwest Fiber provides boxes for this type of scenario? If it would help increase efficiency for your recycling program, let us know!
Keep up the good work recycling your office paper!

It's my little brother's birthday today and also the day he will find out his results for SPM. I promised him RM200 for each A, but he must get a minimum of 6 for my offer to be valid.

We love you, As or no As. But if you got less than 6, still no $$$ lor :P

Settling into Los Angeles
So after a couple weeks back in LA, I finally feel like I"m somewhat settling in.
I really enjoyed my month back in Wisconsin with family and friends, but it was a pretty busy month! Besides getting over jet lag and being incredibly busy with the holidays, I spent about a week in Chicago (relaxed with Julie & Beth a bit, went to a formal ball, and spent a great new years with them both!), visited my friend Amy & her new baby up in Kaukauna, WI, went to an indoor water park in the Dells with my mom, Grandma, and sister, and was busy making preparations for my return to LA. This month seemed to be the MONTH OF BABIES! Two of my friends had babies within November and December, and my cousin Lisa had her baby the first week of January. I also finally got to meet all my cousin's kids (Jake and Kim both have kids now that I"ve never met!) too. It was lovely to spend time with friends & family and their children, but it still is somewhat strange to me because I am still in denial that I am of child-bearing age! Which I guess is good considering Martti is so much younger than I that it's going to be quite some time before kids ever enter the picture!
Click here to see some pictures of family from Dec-Jan
Click here to see some pictures of friends over the holidays
Part of my returning-to-LA-preparations was to buy a car… which I ended up doing in Wisconsin! Got a great deal on a new-used car (which just so happens to formerly be my dad's car!), a 2005 Hyundai Santa Fe, and then made plans to drive it across the country on a 3-4 day road trip with my sister Michelle! We left on Friday, January 16…. and only 5 or so hours into the trip and we found ourselves having car problems already, arrrghhh!! Fortunately, we were able to make it to St. Louis to Hyundai dealership and turned out to be just a fuel sensor or something, and after a couple hours delay we were back to it!
Made our way from Wisconsin to Illinois, through Missouri and Oklahoma, the top tip of texas, and through New Mexico and Arizona before crossing over the California border! Click here to see pictures from our troad trip across the US!
Grand Canyon once before, it still doesn't take away from how AMAZING and wonderous the canyon is. To think the canyon was carved out over thousands of years by just a river! Click here to see pictures of Michelle & I at the Grand Canyon!
Now I'm back in Los Angeles, back to work, and renting a room from a friend temporarily until I find my own place. After seeing how RIDICULOUS the rental prices for a one-bedroom in Playa Del Rey was (a section in LA where I want to live), and after getting advice and encouragement from my Real Estate Agent mother, I decided that maybe this was the best time to buy. Sure, property in LA (or California for that matter) is RIDICULOUSLY PRICED no matter what, but with the economy as bad as it is and the unfortunate incidences of people's houses going into foreclosure, it turns out there is some chance for me to actually afford to buy a condo. But this is keeping in mind that I'll probably be getting a roommate to help foot the bill . . . at least until Martti can come out here and chip in money towards the mortgage payments. . .
Which brings me to the topic of Martti!! Things are still going really strong between us, despite over 2 months of long distance, and we'll celebrate 9 months together in a few days. How is it possible that things only get better day to day between us? Sure, we've had many serious discussions about our future, and it's been a pretty stressful ride for him—with dealing with possibilities and complications of trying to get a student visa in the US—but with every passing day I know this is meant to be, and we both can barely contain our excitement and anticipation of his visit out to LA next week! Yes… he'll be here NEXT WEEK! Martti arrives on Friday the 20th, and will be here for about a week and a half. During that time, we are going on a group trip up to Mammoth Mountain for a weekend of skiing and sledding fun!—which Martti is THRILLED about! As an avid skiier in "the north pole", the possibility of going to Mammoth Mountain—one of the most known world ski destinations– is only a dream to him. But now it will be reality! And this is actually his first time to the US in general, so it will be a big trip for him!
Meanwhile, we both are working hard to get him out to the US by summertime. Since his major is International Business, he is actually required to study 6 months to 1 year in a University in another country, and in addition, he needs to do on-the-job training for 6 months wherever in the world he wants… so it's perfect!! SO . . . in summary, he would be able to come to the US for a year and a half to fulfill requirements for his degree, which makes me Very happy! However, the fact that the stupid US schools here charge SOOOOO MUCH MONEY for International/Non-resident students does NOT make me happy!! It's ASSININE what they charge! Basically, if I go to a California State school it will cost me $1,500-2,500 per year for tuition. But for Martti, as an international student, it would cost him $12,000-14,000!!! And keep in mind STUDENTS IN FINLAND DONT PAY FOR COLLEGE—THE GOVERNMENT PAYS FOR THEM!! So this has been quite a big blow to the both of us.
Fortunately, theres this organization called the Fulbright Program that offers $10,000 scholarships specifically to FINNISH students who want to study in the US, so he's going to apply for that. Apparently not that many students apply, because most of them avoid the US schools completely because of their steep tuition charges (yep, that's right—Martti can pretty much go anywhere else in the world: japan, china, anywhere in europe, for FREE,,, but in the US they will charge him $10,000+ , lovely, eh?), so there IS a good chance he could get a scholarship, but of course there will be competition no matter what,,,, so let's cross our fingers it all works out!
In my perfect little dreamy-BreAnn-land, I get a nice little 2BR condo and rent out a bedroom for 4 months (to make extra $$), Martti gets accepted to CalState Northridge and wins that 10k scholarship and comes out to LA in summer and moves in, we make our cute little home together and enjoy life as much as possible!
OK, sounds like a fairy tale. And I know at this point in life to not have high expectations becuase you never know . . .
But for now I can just hope, and work hard towards these next big goals in life! Always sail on the highest winds . . . 🙂

Your Android Shines with Shine's New Antivirus
Shine offers a belief and a mission that should really be at the forefront of all mobile users concerns- mobile protection being a digital right. This innovative app differs from many of its anti-virus/anti-malware competitors and predecessors where they place focus on preventative measures and holistic approaches to protecting your phone. Unlike conventional anti-virus/anti-malware providers, Shine doesn't analyze code in search of patterns nor does it use definition files or virus signatures like McAfee. While these methods are tried and true, the downside is your device is infected and already undergoing damage and there is a lot of invasive work to be done to restore it to its former glory.
Shine utilizes real-time behavioral analysis on your device itself, monitoring all events taking place and identifying new threats moments after they occur. While viruses can't be erased immediately upon their detection since Shine needs these initial movements to recognize the threat, the app's other function can provide a close second in terms of effectiveness. Devices running Shine can "self heal" after a malicious code attacks and is then stopped. Shine is actually reversing specific damages done to your device step-by-step, a largely welcomed change to the sometimes unpredictable and unreliable process of restoring a back up and re-installing items saved prior to the infection.
This all may sound too good to be true and you may be wondering if the trade-off is that you kiss your battery life away. The founders have reassured us that [they] "take less than 1 percent of battery life and determine what's bad or good back in the lab, just the brain is installed on the device. It runs when [they] have to inspect something (Tech Crunch)." While this figure may be relative to individual devices, in this case the positives of Shine are worth their weight in some CPU usage. Experience a new level of digital protection for you and those you care about; download Shine and always be a step ahead of threats.Key Features:
- Personalization
- Self-healing capabilities
- Track all devices in one central location
- Beautiful and interactive UI
- Multi-device functional

Holiday Feedback
The Giant Talon was a sturdy hire bike, I was quite impressed by the quality of the bike. The gears were spot on and it was a pleasure to ride. All the guides were easy to get along with and provided different levels of support for everyone on the trip. Their support with food and drinks was excellent and the selection of food was great! Steve was such a friendly guide who also had a great sense of humour and was accommodating for everyone on the ride.
I found you could truly relax and not have to think about anything other than your ride as everything from breakfast to afternoon tea was provided.
Zachary, Australia
Steve was amazing...
He was so helpful, encouraging and made even the "cheeky" climbs fun(ish)! I struggled with some of the cycling but he could not have been more helpful. I would definitely recommend a Skedaddle holiday. As a novice I was very nervous, but the guides immediately put me at ease and encouraged me all the way. They were always on hand to give us tips on how to make our cycling better.
Nicole, Brighton
A very enjoyable weekend...
It was so nice not to have to think about where to go but just know that we would be following some great trails with fantastic scenery. Skedaddle team were excellent – very knowledgeable and helpful!
Mary, Nottingham
This trip could not have been better...
The riding on this trip was exceptional. Fantastic views and great climbs. All the guides were brilliant. Steve was an amazing leader and he told us so many fascinating stories during the ride about local history. They were just great people to go riding with and an absolute credit to Skedaddle. Thank you for an unforgettable weekend!
Peter, Wales
Both days were excellent!
Two days of fantastic riding. Not too easy that I felt I hadn't achieved anything, but not too difficult that I wasn't thoroughly enjoying myself the whole time. Awesome rides, super instructors, beautiful scenery, great camaraderie – even the weather turned out nice. Both days were excellent.
Steve was super. Great local knowledge, lots of interesting stories. Judged perfectly how hard to push us. Plus I will forever more think of monstrously steep climbs as a little bit "cheeky".
Ben, Southampton
Great couple of days!
The weather was glorious and I felt more confident as the trip went on. Both days were great!
Clare, West Midlands
Excellent venue that understood and met cycling needs, secure store, bike wash and parking. Award winning porridge! Excellent range and quality of food, snacks and refreshments to meet everyone's requirements along the way. The routes selected were correct for the ability of the group and met expectation for the area. Good advice on terrain, hazards, technique, weather and necessary clothing equipment!

I got back into vinyl because Maura picked up a near complete run of Time-Life's Swing Era box sets at an estate sale. They'd been on my retro wishlist since I first stumbled across an ad for them during by first read-through of LIFE's original run and the happy occasion was enough to convince me to pick up a deck I could spin them on.
Money and shelf space were short supply at the time, so I settled for a low-end Jensen jobber with built-in speakers. It was garbage, but it fulfilled its primary purpose — so much so, in fact, that I started pulling old favorites down from the attic archives and began to seek out new acquisitions on the secondhand marketplace.
By the time the fall of 2017 rolled around, my modest assortment of "most favored" albums had grown into a precariously stack that brushed against the bottom of the wall sconces in our living room. I was in desperate need of a permanent storage solution, but also realized I ought to attempt something grander than a short term fix. If record collecting and listening was going to be "a thing" for me again, I should invest in a better sound system. And, if I was going to try and make the space for that, then I should probably reconfigure the hand-me-down jumble of shelving units that had passed for our living room's entertainment center since November 2004.
The plan had begun to gel by last Christmas, but was hung up by several false starts and logistical dead ends. The dream was to either dredge up the set of components my mother gave me during my teenage years or recreate them with similar chrome-and-digital relics of the Reagan Era. Unfortunately, I discovered my grandmother had tossed out my old set of gear (with the exception of the turntable, which I'd passed onto Lil Bro) and my go-to consignment shops didn't have much worth the risk or expense of purchase.
Maura found Magnavox cabinet model from the late Eighties somewhere, and I spent a month of two trying to figure out how to make it fit into a theoretical set-up before realizing its wired speakers had succumbed to years of abuse and neglect. I realized would never get the damn project done unless I stopped equivocating and just committed to it, so I ordered a current model Sony 100 Watt receiver and pair of bookshelf-in-name-only speakers along with some Ikea shit that seemed — after hours of measuring and re-measuring — like it would fit in the available space.
The last of the components arrived at the end of last week, so I spent the past two days doing the sweaty and dust-disturbing labor turning a long-harbored dream into reality.
"Are you happy with it?" was the first thing Maura asked when she saw it after arriving home from her Sunday errands. I am, for the most part. The weird open layout of the House on the Hillside's first floor doesn't leave much in the way of obstructable wall space, so a few compromises had to be made.
The original plan was to use my old H.H. Scott turntable, but it has apparently given up the ghost after thirty-five years. Fortunately, I had an Audio-Technica model lying around in storage since the late Aughts. (It was a Christmas present from Maura, back when I had grand plans about ripping some rarities in our collection to mp3.) It has been a while since I've owned an actual stereo system, having spent the past fifteen years getting by with boomboxes and digital files played via Winamp.
I knew exactly which track I'd use to test the rig…
…and was more than pleased with the window-vibrating, floor-rumbling results (which were satisfactorily repeated across multiple Sixties soul jams and side one of Crystal Method's Vegas).
It was also nice to finally have the space to integrate my SNES Mini Classic console into the set-up without having to unbox and wire it whenever the urge to play Super Metroid overtakes me. I will have to invest in dust covers for the other game consoles, though that's pretty much a must in our critter-packed abode anyhow.
The project gave my the opportunity to take an inventory of what records I had purchased over the previous eighteen months (most of which I did manage to recall while populating my Discogs page) and organize them in a logical-to-me fashion — K-Tel, compilation series, gothy stuff, ska, soundtracks, et cetera — with the top shelf…
…given over to especially cherished artists and albums.
Now that this project has been completed, I look forward to swamping it with even more shit I don't have the shelf space to contain.

AIDS Healthcare Foundation
AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) is a Los Angeles-based global nonprofit provider of HIV prevention services, testing, and healthcare for HIV patients. AHF currently claims to provide medical care and services to more than 1 million individuals in 43 countries worldwide.
|February 1987
|Michael Weinstein
|nonprofit organization
|Legal status
|To provide medical care for those affected by HIV or AIDS.[2]
|Los Angeles, California, U.S.
|AHF Pharmacy,

Revenue (2017)
|Expenses (2017)
Employees (2017)
Starting in 2015, the foundation, at the direction of its founder Michael Weinstein, sponsored and provided almost all of the financing for several ballot initiatives: two to set prices for prescription drugs, (in California and Ohio) and two housing-related initiatives: an anti-development measure in Los Angeles, and a California statewide rent control measure, all of which failed at the polls.[3]
Early years: AIDS Hospice Foundation and Chris Brownlie Hospice
In 1987, activists Chris Brownlie, Michael Weinstein,[4] Sharon Raphael, PhD, Mina Meyer,[5] MA, and other advocates were among the earliest champions of the AIDS hospice movement as co-founders of the Los Angeles AIDS Hospice Committee, the catalyst organization which gave rise to the AIDS Hospice Foundation and, ultimately, to today's AIDS Healthcare Foundation.[6]
As members of the inaugural AIDS Hospice Committee, Brownlie, Weinstein, Myer, Raphael, Paul Coleman and others were involved with the planning and negotiations for the opening of Chris Brownlie Hospice on the grounds of the Barlow Respiratory Hospital. In those early years, following an emotional plea for hospice care to the Los Angeles County Commission on AIDS[7] and a protest and picketing of then-Supervisor Mike Antonovich's home, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors eventually committed $2 million to AIDS care. The group began converting a facility in Elysian Park that had been Barlow's old nursing quarters into Chris Brownlie Hospice —the County's first AIDS hospice—which was named in Brownlie's honor when it first opened December 26, 1988. Meyer, who also served as Treasurer of the AIDS Hospice Committee, was honored in 1987 by the Los Angeles AIDS Hospice Committee with its 'Heart of Gold Award' for her early work in the effort to formulate AIDS hospice care in Los Angeles.
The 25-bed hospice—the first of three operated by AHF, including the Carl Bean House and Linn House, which opened in 1992 and 1995, respectively—provided 24-hour medical and palliative care to people living through the final stages of AIDS. Brownlie died at the age of 39, on November 26, 1989,[8] less than a year after the hospice named in his honor first opened, survived by his father, sister, brothers, his longtime partner, Phil Wilson and countless friends and fellow AIDS activists. In addition to Brownlie, over 1,000 people had been given dignified, specialized, compassionate final care at the Chris Brownlie Hospice by the time it ended hospice operations in September 1996. The building that housed the Brownlie Hospice went through its own rebirths, housing various departments of AHF, including the headquarters for AHF's Public Health Division, before the organization officially turned the property back over to the City of Los Angeles with a sunset memorial ceremony on January 26, 2013.[9]
AIDS Hospice Foundation becomes AIDS Healthcare Foundation
As medical opportunities for managing HIV became more available, AHF changed its mission to helping individuals with HIV/AIDS live well with the disease through advanced medical care. This shift was marked with the change of the Foundation's name to AIDS Healthcare Foundation in July 1990.
AIDS Healthcare Foundation Today
AHF operates the Out of the Closet thrift store chain. AHF acquired the MOMS Pharmacy chain of pharmacies in 2012, and in 2013, rebranded the chain as AHF Pharmacy.[10]
AHF sponsored HIV awareness themed Rose Parade floats in 2012 and 2013, each winning the Queen's Trophy for best use of roses.[11][12]
AHF produced the documentary film Keep The Promise: The Global Fight Against AIDS, depicting the AHF sponsored protest of government anti-HIV funding levels and anti-HIV drug prices at the XIX International AIDS Conference, 2012. The film premiered on March 29, 2013 at the Vail Film Festival.[13]
Advocacy for reducing drug prices
At a Washington, DC press conference in February 2002, AHF President Michael Weinstein addressed exorbitant drug prices by GlaxoSmithKline pharmaceutical company (GSK). AHF filed suit against GSK in July in a Los Angeles federal court to protest antitrust and patent violations regarding GSK's antiviral drugs AZT, 3TC and Ziagen.[14] AHF amended its lawsuit against GSK in November 2002 to include a request that the drug company's patents be invalidated so U.S. residents can take advantage of cheaper, generic versions. In February 2003, GSK cuts the cost of Trizivir and Combivir in developing countries by as much as 90 percent.
In February 2004, AHF filed an antitrust and restraint of trade lawsuit against pharmaceutical giant Abbott Laboratories concerning its drug prices and policies on its key AIDS drug, Norvir (ritonavir) and its subsequent derivative drug, Kaletra. In December 2003, Abbott announced an unprecedented 400% price hike for Norvir, while leaving the price of Kaletra—which has Norvir as a significant component—unchanged.
In August 2005, AHF criticized drug manufacturer Boehringer Ingelheim for pricing its latest AIDS drug Aptivus (tipranavir), at $13,000 a year, the highest price for a protease inhibitor of its time.[15]
In November 2006, AHF asked Indian anti-HIV drug manufacturer Cipla to reduce the price of its combination drug Viraday from its launch price of about Rs 62,000 per year. Cipla CEO Y. K. Hamied cited taxes and custom duties on raw materials as reasons for the high price, but agreed to a price cut.[16]
In January 2007, AHF filed suit in Los Angeles over Pfizer's direct-to-consumer marketing of Viagra, accusing Pfizer of promoting off-label, recreational use of Viagra, and suggesting a link between Viagra, methamphetamine, and unsafe sex. Pfizer denied AHF's claims, and mentioned that AHF had recently asked Pfizer to fund an educational program about meth.[17]
In August 2007, AHF began purchasing full-page ads in Indian newspapers accusing Cipla of overpricing. According to AHF, a year's worth of Viraday cost Rs 54,000 when sold in India, but only Rs 21,000 when exported to Africa.[18] Some NGOs declined to join AHF in criticizing Cipla's drug prices, citing a potential conflict of interest: Cipla's opposition to the patent application for Viread, a component of Viraday, filed by AHF contributor Gilead Sciences. Gilead denied involvement in AHF's complaint, and an AHF regional chief stated that AHF also opposed Gilead's patent application for Viread.[19] After months of AHF campaigning against Cipla, the company is brought under investigation by the Monopolies and Restrictive Practices Commission (MRTPC) and moves to reduce the price of Viraday and Efavir in India by 15%.
In March 2008, AHF petitioned drug manufacturers including Abbot, Boehringer Ingelheim, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Gilead, GSK, Merck, Pfizer, Roche and Tibotec to freeze the price of their HIV drugs in the U.S, stating that as a result of regular drug price increases "HIV/AIDS assistance programs will essentially be flat funded and unable to provide access to additional people in need of lifesaving drugs."[20] In June, the organization applauded decisions by Boehringer Ingelheim and Gilead Sciences to freeze prices on antiretroviral medications purchased by government agencies.
In September 2013, AHF filed a lawsuit in California against GSK alleging that the company "... failed to fully satisfy its obligations with respect to discounts for drugs it sold to AIDS Healthcare Foundation over a period of many years," under the 340B Drug Pricing Program, a federal drug discount program designed to stretch scarce federal resources as far as possible for community healthcare providers such as AHF.[21]
Global healthcare and events
AHF currently serves 600,407 people in 36 countries through global clinics offering HIV testing, antiretroviral and other HIV/AIDS prevention, and treatment services.
South Africa became home to AHF's first treatment center outside of the U.S. with the establishment of the Ithembalabantu (People's Hope) clinic in the Durban township of Umlazi in 2002 through a partnership with the KwaZulu-Natal Department of Health. A second site was opened in 2008 in Middledrift, Easter Cape Province. Through these sites, AHF South Africa offers comprehensive HIV and tuberculosis testing, treatment and care. Nationwide services include antiretroviral medication, CD4 testing, lab monitoring, treatment of opportunistic infections, on-site pharmacy services, distribution of free condoms to the public, and community outreach programs to test the population for HIV and link those who test positive into care.[22]
AHF operates a total of 34 clinics in the Durban and Eastern Cape provinces, and in May 2014 AHF broke ground on K Clinic, the first South African AHF clinic to be built from the ground up.
AHF's other worldwide clinics span Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, the U.S., and Latin America.
World AIDS Day
Each year on December 1, AHF celebrates World AIDS Day with a series of international events. In 2014, AHF hosted over 160 World AIDS Day events in twenty-eight countries, including the U.S., to promote testing and treatment for HIV/AIDS. International events promoted AHF's 20X20 campaign, a global initiative to have 20 million people living with HIV linked to medical care and on anti-retroviral therapy (ART) by December 31, 2020. The King and Queen of Lesotho attended AHF's event in their country that year. Each World AIDS Day event has a unifying theme, though events in each country are adapted to the local setting with a specific focus on the populations most impacted in the respective regions.[23]
International Condom Day
AHF is a large proponent of condom use in preventing HIV/AIDS and other sexually-transmitted diseases. International Condom Day, created by AHF, promotes an increased focus on access to condoms in conjunction with the convenient, free Rapid Testing and the Universal Access to anti-retroviral treatment as the integral components of the global fight against HIV/AIDS.[24] Since the inception of the LOVE Condom campaign in 2008, AHF-branded LOVE Condoms have gained popularity across Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America and North America. Each year AHF and its partners commemorate the International Condom Day on February 13 with LOVE Condoms events such as marches and public outreach.[24]
International Women's Day
On International Women's Day, March 8, 2016, AHF hosted events and activities in 12 countries throughout Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, and the Americas. While the official theme for International Women's Day 2016 was "Pledge for Parity," AHF encouraged teams in each participating country to adopt their own tagline tailored to their particular message. Nigeria's tagline was "For Women by Women," designating a day on which HIV-positive women participated in a series of activities championing positive living and reminding them they are not alone. AHF's other worldwide events included leadership activities for young women, financial independence workshops, and motivational talks from prominent female figures. Zambia held a "Diva's Nite" concert featuring all-female artists and South Africa a hip-hop competition encouraging young people to discuss gender inequality. HIV/AIDS outreach, testing and counseling accompanied most of the events.[25]
AHF's anti-retroviral (ARV) studies include:
- Studies of new ARV medications, both before and after FDA approval
- Studies for people who already take ARV medications and are failing, as well as studies for people who have not yet begun ARV therapy
- Studies comparing different combinations of ARV medications
- Studies to reduce the number of pills a person must take, and to reduce dosing frequency
- Women's studies, looking at the quality of life for women with HIV
- Studies examining obstacles that prevent people from taking their ARV medications as prescribed
- Research into related conditions such as Hepatitis C and neurological disorders
Dr. Otto Yang, AHF's Scientific Director, also heads the HIV Immunotherapy Institute.[26]

The Oakland/East Bay-based WORLD was first established in 1991 and affiliated with AHF in September 2014.
In May 1999, AHF filed a lawsuit against the City of Los Angeles over the mismanagement of AIDS Housing Funds. Following a state legislator's audit, the Los Angeles City Controller revealed that more than $17 million in federal funds for people with AIDS went unspent as an AIDS homeless crisis raged in Los Angeles.[27]
Condom laws litigation in Los Angeles and Las Vegas
In 2004, Darren James and three other adult film actors tested positive for HIV. In response to the outbreak, AHF began lobbying in favor of laws requiring condom use by male actors during sex scenes in adult films.[28]
In 2010, AHF unsuccessfully sued the Los Angeles County government to compel its health department to mandate condom use in adult film productions.[28]
In 2012, AHF supported a Los Angeles city ordinance requiring condoms in certain adult films.[29] Later the same year, the organization spent US$1,654,681 funding the successful campaign to pass Measure B, a ballot initiative that expanded the condom requirement countywide.[30]
AHF again sued the Los Angeles County government, alleging that an August 2012 audit conducted by the county was an illegal retaliation for AHF's support for Measure B.[31][32] In 2013, AHF began collecting signatures for a ballot measure to create a Los Angeles city health department that would take over part of the county health department's jurisdiction.[33] The City of Los Angeles and County of Los Angeles oppose the measure, and the city has filed a lawsuit seeking to invalidate the measure.[34]
In August 2014, the AIDS Healthcare Foundation filed a formal complaint with Nevada OSHA,[35] against Cybernet Entertainment LLC, which does business as Kink.com and related spin-offs. The complaint alleges the California porn company did not require its actors to use condoms during an adult film shoot in Las Vegas.
2014 San Francisco lawsuit
In 2014, the AIDS Healthcare Foundation filed suit against the City of San Francisco. AHF claimed that city restrictions on chain stores targeted them unfairly when the organization attempted to open a retail store.[36][37]
2014 Dallas County lawsuit
In 2014, the AIDS Healthcare Foundation filed suit against the County of Dallas. AHF claimed that the County of not giving the agency a fair chance to bid for federal AIDS funding. [38]
2013 Los Angeles lawsuit
In 2013, AHF found itself entangled in dual lawsuits when AHF attempted to use political clout to force the City of Los Angeles to develop health services independent from the county. Health officials in affected departments filed responsive suits, arguing massive wastes would result in a transition or duplication of services.[39]
2014 Los Angeles lawsuit
In 2014, AHF was audited by Los Angeles county and billed $1.7 million for duplicated services. AHF filed suit, arguing that they were targeted on the basis of their political actions in the 2013 lawsuit. The lawsuit filed by AHF was thrown out by a judge.[40]
2014 Tarrant County Texas lawsuit
In 2014, the AIDS Healthcare Foundation filed suit against the County of Dallas. AHF claimed that the County of not giving the agency a fair chance to bid for federal AIDS funding.[41]
2015 Broward County Court
In 2015, a whistleblower lawsuit was filed by three former AHF managers. The employees allege AHF engaged and even documented kickback processes for positive HIV test results for social workers.[42]
2016 East Baton Rouge lawsuit
In 2016, the AIDS healthcare foundation filed suit against East Baton Rouge Parish in Louisiana, claiming it was discriminated against in the awarding of healthcare contracts. The suit specifically targeted funds given to longtime-standing local AIDS service organizations such as HIV/AIDS Alliance for Region Two, Family Service of Greater Baton Rouge, and others.[43][44] The suit was settled with funding left unchanged.[45]
2016 Los Angeles Palladium Development lawsuit
The AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) filed suit against the City of Los Angeles, alleging that the city violated laws and the city charter when it approved the development of two residential towers that are expected to be up to 30 stories tall. The City Council changed existing zoning and height limitations to allow the development, which would be next to AHF's Hollywood headquarters. A spokesperson for the development accused Michael Weinstein of filing the suit to maintain the view from his office.[46] In 2019, the California Supreme Court Refused to hear the case, leaving in place a lower court decision against the foundation.[47]
Ballot initiatives
2016 California Proposition 61 "California Drug Price Relief Act" - failed
AHF spent $19 million supporting the California Drug Price Relief Act, a statewide 2016 ballot initiative that would have revised California law to require state programs to pay no more for prescription medications than the prices negotiated by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (notwithstanding any other provision of law and insofar as permissible under federal law), while exempting managed care programs funded through Medi-Cal.[48] It failed by a 6% margin.
2016 California Proposition 60 "Adult Film Condom Requirements" - failed
AHF spent $4.6 million supporting an initiative that would have allowed Cal/OSHA to prosecute an enforcement action anytime a condom is not visible in a pornographic film.
2017 Ohio Issue 2 "Ohio Drug Price Relief Act" - failed
On August 3, 2015, Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine approved petition language for a drug pricing 2016 statewide ballot initiative to enact Section 194.01 of the Ohio Revised Code to seek United States Department of Veterans Affairs prescription drug pricing for state programs. On August 13, the Ohio Ballot Board approved the proposed statute as a single issue. As a result, that measure, backed by AHF and Ohioans for Fair Drug Prices, was cleared for signature gathering to begin collecting the 91,677 signatures of registered Ohio voters required to put the issue before the Ohio General Assembly.
According to the Ohio petition language, "The Ohio Drug Price Relief Act would ... require that notwithstanding any other provision of law and in so far as permissible under federal law, the State of Ohio shall not enter into any agreement for the purchase of prescription drugs or agree to pay, directly or indirectly, for prescription drugs, including where the state is the ultimate payer, unless the net cost is the same or less than the lowest price paid for the same drug by the U.

2017 Los Angeles city Measure S "Neighborhood Integrity Initiative" - failed
In 2016, the foundation sponsored and provided more than 95% of the funding ($5.5 million)[50] for an anti-development ballot initiative, Measure S, which was rejected with 70.4% voting against.[51] This initiative would have imposed a two-year moratorium on spot zoning as well as developments requiring height and density variances and other changes that would, it claimed, prevent the city from gentrifying and growing too fast. "As we work to house patients in L.A., City Hall focuses on approving $3,500 apartments that sit empty," Weinstein wrote in a Los Angeles Times op-ed.[52] Opponents, who included many advocacy groups for the homeless as well as the city's business community, building trades unions, and developers, said that while the measure addressed some real problems, it went too far and would have not only prevented the construction of new affordable housing but made the city's overall quality of life worse by aggravating an existing housing shortage.[53] They questioned whether the money spent by the AIDS Healthcare Foundation to get the initiative on the ballot was related to the foundation's mission, and suggested that it was motivated by AHF director Michael Weinstein's desire to block a development that would have dominated the view from his office window.[54][55]
2018 California Proposition 10 "Repeal of Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act" - failed
The AIDS Healthcare Foundation contributed $22.5 million to the campaign for Proposition 10, a ballot initiative which sought to repeal the 1995 Costa-Hawkins Act.[56] The measure would have allowed local governments to adopt rent control on any kind of building.[56] Costa-Hawkins is a state law which disallows local governments (cities and counties) from enacting rent control on buildings constructed after 1995, all single-family homes (regardless of construction date), and disallows laws that keep a property under rent control when tenants change (vacancy control). [57]:1 The proposition failed, 59% to 41%.[58]

And two of the biggest spenders are familiar foes, already locked in a legal battle over a Hollywood building project.
Real estate development company Crescent Heights has been at odds with the AIDS Healthcare Foundation over its plans to build two towers next to the foundation headquarters on Sunset Boulevard. So far, Crescent Heights has contributed more than $2.5 million to oppose Measure S. The AIDS Healthcare Foundation, in turn, has chipped in more than $5.5 million to support it.

Where Can I Find an Affordable but Delicious Brunch Restaurant in Coconut Creek?

Try out Anonymizer Universal
through the link below, or go on
to read our review of Anonymizer Universal.
This is an era of ever-increasing government intrusion into people's lives.
Review the situation today, and think yourself 12 years ago.
Review how old you were.
Review what you thought at the time.
(The year was 1999.)
Now imagine, from a big picture review, that the person you were 12 years ago is being physically patted down by someone "securing you" before you took a flight.
What would you have thought then?
Is this kind of "precaution" (which costs BILLIONS by the way) necessary for the security of all?
I don't know. But I certainly don't feel more safe.
99.99% of people in the world are good people. So why are the 99.99% penalized by the actions of .01% of the population?
Benjamin Franklin has been quoted as having said:
"Those who desire to give up freedom in order to gain security will not have, nor do they deserve, either one."
And people want to give up their freedom so readily. But you've got to be vigilant and aware about all potential threats.
If you haven't read our review about the Firefox extension Firesheep, you might want to check that out to understand what we're talking about as far as non-government threats.
So, with so many tools to track what we do on the Internet, the question becomes not why you would want to anonymize your actions, but the question becomes why you wouldn't want to anonymize your actions online.
There are so many reasons to surf a little more anonymously, but dealing with government intrusion into our lives is a big one, and dealing with scammers and thieves is an even bigger one. Using the Internet, your life is an open book. Your interests, hobbies, skills, friends, and information are easily assembled into central repositories.
But you can anonymize your online life.
And Anonymizer Universal makes anonymizing yourself a little more simple than comparable anonymizer programs.
Company Review:
The company that started Internet anonymity, as an industry unto itself, recently introduced an upgraded (and in our opinion an even more improved version) of it's Anonymizer service. The company is growing and adapting to rapid changes in technology, and even though they are now a 15-year old company, they are still pressing forward and creating new technologies and services.
That speaks volumes to us about long-term planning and thinking, which are the kinds of business you want when you're talking about protecting your own information..
Product Review:
Anonymizer Universal is fee based. This is fine with us, but it makes some people grumpy. Why? They don't understand that in order for businesses to grow and improve in our world, they need capital. Capital comes from selling products to people who perceive that you're providing value to them in exchange for the money they give you
With Anonymizer Universal, that perception of value is exceeded by the reality of value that they actually provide.
Anonymizer Universal is Mac, PC, and iphone/iphone touch compatible. Using Virtual Private Networking (VPN) technology, Anonymizer helps to keep your IP address private, and helps to keep you safe online.
Our one warning of this review:
If you are using AVG, it may not work with Anonymizer Universal. Several people have mentioned this, so it is something to be aware of.
If you are looking for software that makes you truly anonymous online, creating an encrypted channel between your PC and the Internet to protect you from online spying, you really should heed the advice of experts and try anonymizer today.

The partnership between the Women's Fund for the Fox Valley Region, B.A.B.E.S., and FVTC continues with a focus on two programs: Starting Point 2.0 and EmpowHER. On December 5, a third class of young, low-income mothers and their pre-school children graduated from Starting Point 2.0. At the same time, the first group of women who are not parents graduated from EmpowHER.
This project is based on the Aspen Institute's two-generation approach to addressing generational poverty by meeting the needs of the family together. Topics such as life and family strengthening skills, how to overcome unexpected barriers and emotional hurdles, opportunities for employment, and how to prepare for career and college success, among others, are part of the coursework. While mothers were attending classes, their young children received age appropriate early childhood education at B.A.B.E.S. EmpowHER covers the same empowerment topics but is geared for women who are not parents.
