In 2015, there were 6.5 million people—nearly 60% of whom were women—living with HIV in western and central Africa, and an estimated 410,000 people became newly infected. In 2015, 330,000 people died of AIDS-related causes.Over the past 30 years, much of the stigma and misconceptions around the disease have disappeared. Better information and education have helped more people better understand the disease, the people who have it, and the changes those people must make because of their diagnosis. Still, thanks to advances in medication and treatment programs, life with HIV is becoming easier and more enjoyable. Here, learn about ways you can talk with your doctors, start treatments, and manage the stress and lifestyle changes associated with an HIV diagnosis.
You Have Your Diagnosis. Now What?
If you are diagnosed with HIV at an anonymous clinic or anywhere other than your primary care physician's office, it's a good idea to make an appointment with your doctor immediately. Let him or her know your diagnosis. Your doctor may want to see your test results and get additional information about your diagnosis, including how you were exposed to HIV, if you have any other sexually transmitted infections, and if you have any additional risk factors for HIV, including intravenous drug use or a history of unsafe sex. During your appointment, your doctor may want to conduct a full physical exam. This helps establish a baseline, a point to which he or she can refer as your disease progresses. Your doctor may also want to conduct several blood tests to check your viral load and your CD4+ T-cell levels, which measure the disease's effect on your immune system.
At this point, the two of you will also want to begin discussing how you will proceed with treatment. Some doctors prefer to start patients on antiretroviral medications right away. Some doctors will allow patients to wait a while before beginning any medication treatments. The choice is ultimately up to you. Discuss any concerns you have about medication. Starting HIV medication therapy is a commitment—you will likely be on this medicine for the rest of your life.
Keep a Journal
An HIV diagnosis can be overwhelming, not to mention confusing. Help yourself keep track of all the information your doctors and health-care providers give you by keeping a journal. Write down what your doctor tells you, any questions you may have, or any things you want to research. If you begin taking a medicine, keep track of when you take it and if you have any side effects. If your doctor conducts regular blood tests to check your viral loads and CD4+ T-cell levels, you might want to keep a log of that information as well. The more information you have, the better prepared you will be as you confront this virus.
Find Support
A diagnosis can be devastating, but you do not have to face it alone. If you do not know anyone who has been diagnosed with HIV, you may find you feel alone or secluded, unsure of where to turn. This can be especially scary as you begin making choices about treatment and medicines and whether or not to reveal your diagnosis to partners, friends, and family members. Contact your local hospital to see if an HIV/AIDS support group is available in your area. Online support groups are also available.
Lead a Healthy Life
Medication, while important, isn't the only treatment option. If you take good care of your body, it will take better care of you. Plus, a healthy lifestyle helps prevent other potential health complications of an HIV infection, such as obesity, heart disease, and cancer. Eat a balanced, healthy diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein. Good food is good medicine. It helps keep your immune system at its best and gives you ample energy. Maintain an active lifestyle as best you can after an HIV diagnosis. Get 30 minutes of exercise five days a week. More is better here, too.
Get Your Shots
During cold and flu seasons, it's important for people with HIV to get pneumonia and flu vaccinations—as long as the vaccine does not contain a live virus. Be sure to ask your doctor before you get the vaccine if it's safe for you.
Consider Alternative Therapies
Vitamins and dietary supplements might be beneficial for people with HIV. These can boost the immune system and help counteract negative side effects of the antiretroviral medication. But some alternative medicines can actually be dangerous when taken with HIV drugs; others may reduce the efficacy of medications. Not everyone should use alternative treatments—and no one should begin one without first discussing it with his or her doctor.
Don't Be Afraid to Change Treatments
You may not stay on the same antiretroviral therapy throughout your life. You may find you need to change. Reasons for needing to change include drug resistance, decreased drug absorption, poor adherence to the medication schedule, or an ineffective combination of medicine. If you think your medicine is not as effective as it should be, or the side effects or untreated symptoms of HIV have become too great, talk to your doctor. Bring your journal with you to your visit, and discuss the concerns you have about your medicine. He or she may agree with you that it's time to change your treatment plan.
Also, as new drugs become available, ask your doctor if you're a candidate for switching to this medicine. In the fight against HIV, every treatment option should be explored. If your doctor seems uninterested in helping you, find a new one. You can lead a very normal life, even after an HIV diagnosis.

Judge Who Sentenced Meek Mill To Prison Is Preparing To Sue Him
Judge Genece Brinkley gearing up to defend herself against Meek Mill. This is the same judge who sentenced the Philly rapper to 2-4 years in prison for probation violation.
Ever since Meek was sentenced, his lawyer has claimed that Judge Brinkley was unprofessional in a number of different instances with the artist. Meek's attorney said that she asked the MC for personal favors such as being shouted out in songs, and firing his management team in order to hire someone close to her. Now, she's fighting back.
According to TMZ, Judge Brinkley hired high-profile lawyer A Charles Peruto Jr. and is preparing to file a lawsuit against Meek and his legal team. "Wednesday on 'TMZ Live' Peruto defended his client, saying there's now a court transcript that proves they've been lying all along, and Meek's lawyer is nothing more than a 'circus clown,'" the news site reports.
Peruto also claims that the rapper's team also fighting this battle "in the street instead of the court room, including having the Governor call and try to sway Brinkley's decision." The attorney is playing no games.

Storage technology has changed dramatically since it inception back in the day. People would buy extra internal hard drives, create stand-alone servers, or build a whole computer just for backup data. There was just not a very convenient or cheap way to store any extra information you needed. Nowadays, many people can buy external hard drives, NAS, SAN, and other drive bay systems. And with the addition of RAID technology; transfer rates and efficiency have been ever increasing.
Today I have the pleasure of reviewing the Drobo DRO4D-D 4 Bay drive system. Earlier we saw the Drobo B800i was an amazing product for business that need to store critical information with feasible accessibility. It was a bit more on the expensive side but it was more catered for high-end business that could afford it. This DRO4D-D 4 Bay drive system delivers the same great technology but with much more affordable price. Its costs around 300 dollars and can store up to 12 TB of information (4 Bays x 3TB each). Let's see how their 4-Bay system performs since it will be catered to the average consumer.

Special Report--Women in Manufacturing
There's no better cure for the vast and widening U.S. manufacturing-workforce gap than to attract more women to the cause. During the economic recovery of the last three years, women have not shared in manufacturing job gains. From January 2010 to February 2013, men gained 535,000 jobs in the manufacturing sector while women actually lost 18,000 jobs.
Up to the task of attracting talented women to the manufacturing workforce is Women in Manufacturing (WIM). This organization is on a mission to provide women working in manufacturing with a forum for networking, to establish mentoring relationships and improve their leadership and communication skills. As a group, these leading ladies promise to support WIM's goals of attracting and retaining women into the manufacturing workforce, and to help ensure they're provided opportunities for advancement.
More than 200 women attended the Women in Manufacturing Summit 2012, taking advantage of numerous opportunities to network, share experiences and learn from each other.
WIM began in 2009 as a small group of Precision Metalforming Association (PMA) members meeting to discuss best practices and business conditions. It has since blossomed into a membership organization of more than 300 women. The organization, now a sister to PMA, produces year-round networking opportunities, quarterly e-newsletters and an online directory. PMA's investment in and nurturing of such a cause mirrors the activities of many manufacturing companies who have come to realize the importance of seeding and nurturing a diverse workforce—comprising not only women, but every minority.
Progressive, Diverse and Inclusive
Case in point: the PDI (Progressive, Diverse and Inclusive) program at Ingersoll Rand, a major initiative I wrote about in my editorial in the September issue of MetalForming. I learned of the Ingersoll Rand PDI program during an interview with Cynthia Farrer, the firm's security technology sector vice president, operations–Americas. Farrer recently took home one of the inaugural Women in Manufacturing STEP Awards, sponsored by The Manufacturing Institute, along with Deloitte, Society of Manufacturing Engineers and University of Phoenix.
Farrer describes her company's diversity initiative as "much more than just recruiting and retaining talent. It's about creating a culture where people feel respected. We celebrate cultural heritage, and are strengthened by the diverse perspectives of our employees."
Unleashing the potential of women —and in fact of the entire breadth of a company's workforce—undoubtedly increases a firm's opportunities to grow and prosper. Consider this statement from a Harvard Business Review blog describing research from the Center for Talent Innovation:
"Leaders who make sure women get equal airtime are 89 percent more likely than non-inclusive leaders to unleash women's potential. Leaders who are willing to change direction based on women's input are more than twice as likely to tap into winning ideas. And leaders who make sure each female member on the team gets constructive and supportive feedback are 128 percent more likely to elicit breakthrough ideas."
Going Where Few Women Go
Obviously Ingersoll Rand falls into this category, and has elicited numerous breakthrough ideas by leveraging its focus on diversity across all levels of the organization. Before joining the firm in 2006 as director of global quality and operational excellence, Farer worked in a variety of roles with General Motors and its spinoff company Delphi. Armed with bachelor's and master's degrees in industrial engineering from Purdue, Farrer advanced from the role of industrial engineer at GM to a supervisory role, and then to plant manager for a four-plant Delphi operation in Mexico.
"At that time (1998-2003)," she says, "I was one of only a handful of women running manufacturing plants in Mexico."
Today, Farrer, based in Indianapolis, IN, oversees Ingersoll Rand's four U.S. manufacturing plants as well as plants in Mexico and Canada, as vice president of operations. At the core of her management philosophy:
"Lead calmly and with a sense of urgency," she says. "Early in my career I had a role model and mentor who led this . I learned from her, and watched how she conducted herself. And to this day I still consult with her, as a friend and a mentor. She taught me to focus on the five 'whys' of problem solving rather than the 'five whos.' Don't ask who is responsible for a problem; find out why it happened and how the process can be revised to prevent future occurences."
Women in Manufacturing director Allison Grealis recently surveyed its community of more than 300 members, asking what the statement "women in manufacturing" means to them. "One response we received," she says, "was 'Modern Women, Modern Work.' We feel this perfectly sums up our current proposition to the graduating women of today, who we invite to join manufacturing and experience a rewarding and contemporary career.
Farrer, who has engineering in her blood (her father was a chemical engineer) and als was strong in math and science courses as a young woman, expresses concern over the fact that the number of women engineering graduates is on the decline, even as men continue to flock to the profession. Only 10.7 percent of engineering jobs are held by women, she says, and that "without more women in the pipeline, efforts to increase women's participation and influence in technology and manufacturing companies won't become any easier."

"One response we received," she says, "was 'Modern Women, Modern Work.' We feel this perfectly sums up our current proposition to the graduating women of today, who we invite to join manufacturing and experience a rewarding and contemporary career."We would like your company's support to attract, retain and advance women in manufacturing," adds Grealis. "Visit www.womeninmanufacturing.org to explore how to help. Any action you take individually or companywide is important and timely. We are at a critical juncture where we need to devote resources and energy to fill open manufacturing positions with talented women."
Attracted to, and Up to, the Challenge
As a young woman entering college and considering career choices, Farrer selected industrial engineering because it was "challenging, technical and tied closely to manufacturing," she recalls. It's not difficult to get Farrer to identify and share particularly challenging—and rewarding—times in her career. For example, as Delphi's global quality director she was responsible for resolving any quality issues quickly, so as to not hold up assembly operations at automotive OEM facilities.
"In one case we had eight assembly plants waiting for one of our assemblies," she shares. "We worked through the weekend, day and night, to resolve the problem and avoid delays. That was the high-pressure cooker I lived in.
"That's an example of how fast paced and exciting manufacturing can be," Farrer continues, "with opportunities for interpersonal communication, engagement and personal development."
Those types of job descriptions also attracted Jada Dressler to the engineering profession, now two years into her career as a chemical and process engineer at Zeon Chemicals, in Hattiesburg, MS. Dressler, armed with a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering and working toward her master's degree, hit the ground running when she joined Zeon straight from college. Management assigned her projects right out of the gate, and also takes advantage of her green-belt six-sigma certification by having her participate in the firm's corporate quality committee.
"The opportunity to grow and progress in my career in this industry has been exciting, and rewarding," Dressler says, echoing Farrer's perspective on an engineering career. "I love getting up and going to the plant every day. While many of my female engineering-school classmates opted for sales jobs rather than finding jobs working in manufacturing plants, I thrive on the hands-on work.
"Throughout my life," continues Dressler, "if someone questioned my ability to perform a task I became more determined than ever to prove them wrong. No one can tell me that I can't do something."
That goes for the completely male workforce Dressler works with in engineering and on the process-side of plant operations, almost all of whom have been on the job for more than 20 years. But while she faced some early skepticism from her coworkers after joining the company in 2011, "it's been like having 50 big brothers in my corner," Dressler shares. "I consider them mentors. People won't just hand you respect and trust, it has to be earned."
A highlight of her brief yet rewarding career in chemical process engineering has been learning to value other people's opinions, she says, and to work with people with diverse backgrounds vastly different from her own.
"That learning experience—ongoing still—continues to make me a stronger and more successful engineer. It's already been an incredibly rewarding career, and through my involvement with WIM I hope to inspire other young women to consider engineering as a career choice. And, I look forward to interacting with more experienced women in manufacturing so that I can continue to learn and gain inspiration.
"Work-life balance is something I definitely think about, down the road," Dressler adds. "I want that balance, and I'm trying to get a feel for the types of jobs that would allow me to have that balance. I also know that WIM networking will allow me to learn how other women working in manufacturing have managed to maintain a healthy balance of home and work life."
WIM Members Anxious to Mentor
Dressler and other young women working in manufacturing have plenty of mentors from which to choose, including Farrer and fellow STEP Award winner Mena Tazegul, quality systems and six-sigma manager at the John Deere Engine Works plant in Waterloo, IA. Tazegul notes that Deere's WomenREACH (Relating, Enriching, Achieving, Challenging and Helping) organization has helped provide direction to her successful career at the company, which includes a stint as industrial engineering supervisor.
Among such opportunities are those found on the plant floor as well as the often-discussed work-family balance issues faced by all families where both parents work outside of the home. For Tazegul, that has meant forgoing any job opportunities that required frequent travel so she could stay close to her family. Her solution differed greatly from that practiced by Farrer, whose husband, she says, took a primary role in raising their children. Different means to the same end—exactly the type of experience and idea sharing that Dressler and other young women in manufacturing can gain by becoming engaged in WIM.
The Industry Needs More Collaborators, Nurturers and Listeners
Like Farrer, Tazegul studied industrial engineering in college and earned a master's degree (in operations management), "because I wanted to work within the manufacturing environment," she says. "I enjoy working with the people on the shop floor, seeing how things are made and finding s to make them more efficiently. I like to be around creative out-of-the-box thinkers (Tazegul drops the name Leonardo da Vinci as a personal hero), and also enjoy helping to inspire that creative thinking in others."
Prior to moving into her current role as quality systems and six sigma manager, Tazegul delivered significant improvements to the overall operation of the Waterloo plant as industrial engineering supervisor. As noted in her STEP Award biography page, she oversaw projects that expanded production capacity by more than 30 percent.
Now, as quality systems and six sigma manger, she describes her three primary responsibilities as:
• Overseeing quality systems and ISO certification
• Managing quality planning for new product launches
• Guiding the development of six-sigma projects to improve overall plant efficiency.
With a dozen direct reports, Tazegul stresses the importance, in addition to being a creative thinker, of being a relationship builder.
"Women are collaborators, nurturers and listeners," she says. "Manufacturers—all employers in fact—need these traits in their managers, and would benefit from moving women into leadership roles. I truly believe that when we put our 'team-thinking' hat on and when we collaborate, we als will find solutions to problems that are richer and better than if we try to develop solutions on our own."
Mentoring a Two- Street
Like Farrer and Dressler, mentoring has played a vital role in Tazegul's professional and personal development. And not only does she continue to be mentored even at this stage in her career, she now also serves as a mentor to women working in manufacturing.
"I've als had great mentors to whom I could turn and look up to," she says, "and now I seek to mentor other women at Deere. But even with the invaluable input from my mentors, I've als felt responsible for ultimately figuring out what was best for me. Others are willing to help, but in the end I tell the women I mentor that they have to weigh what others say and make decisions for themselves.
"Female managers can be great role models for young women," Tazegul continues. "Look up to them, learn how they have managed to accomplish their goals, personally and professionally, and seek their advice. Then be diligent about taking the steps necessary to reach your full potential."
Her final advice to young women working in manufacturing, such as Dressler, looking to craft a long, successful and rewarding career:"Keep an open mind, focus on and learn from the successes of other women, and chase your dreams. Learn that you're not alone—there are mentors out there ready and willing to provide guidance. Reach out, learn and create your own support group. And don't be afraid to become known as a collaborator—we need more collaborators on the front lines of manufacturing." MF

It was only a few days before Christmas in the late 1950s. My father, who worked in the woods every day and really had no excuse, had yet to bring home a Christmas tree.
My sister and I were 11 and 12, still young enough to enjoy the spirit of Santa Claus, a glow my father, we decided, hadn't yet detected.
When Dad came through the door after work, my younger sister and I told him we weren't about to put up with another day of wondering and waiting when he would bring home a Christmas tree. He parked his packbasket in a corner, shrugged out of heavy winter clothing, and settled himself at the kitchen table to read the newspaper. My sister and I leaned on either side of him and declared we weren't going to leave him alone until he gave us an answer.
"Tomorrow," he said.
Late in the afternoon the next day, Dad said, "OK, girls, get your things on, we're going to get a Christmas tree."
My mother helped us stuff ourselves into snow pants and jackets. She coiled scarves around our necks, tied hats closely over our heads and made sure our mittens were tucked into our jacket cuffs. She wrapped us up like precious packages even though we considered ourselves too old for such fussing.
"Don't be all day," my mother said to my father as we left. It would be dark soon and the temperature hovered in the single digits.
"Where we going, Dad?" I asked as he drove out of the yard.
"Oh, I know a place …" he said, his voice filled with mystery.
Dad drove to Brighton past our grandparents' house, then headed toward Wellington.
"How come we're going all this way?" my sister asked.
Dad just grinned at us and for me the mystery deepened and became tinged with a flare of excitement. I knew that Dad had a streak of mischief in him.
Dad stopped beside a sloping field deep with snow glistening under a rising moon. Up the road, on a hill, sat a farmhouse where light glowed from the kitchen windows and woodsmoke coiled from the center chimney — it was like a picture on a Christmas card.
"I've been by here a few times and I know there's a nice-looking tree up there a little ways," Dad said. "Now I want you girls to follow me, but be quiet about it because we don't want that old farmer to know we're out here."
Suddenly, I had an uneasy feeling that what we were up to was bad. How bad, I had no idea, and I didn't want to ask.
Dad, axe in hand, broke trail through knee-high drifts. "Stay low," Dad cautioned in a whisper, which only increased my sense that we were on the path to no good as we plodded through the snow. When we reached the trees we were out of breath and our cheeks stung with cold.
"See — that's the one I spotted a while back," Dad whispered, pointing the axe toward a tree.
"We don't care what it looks like, Dad. Just get the tree and let's get out of here!" I whispered fiercely, glancing anxiously toward the farmhouse. Dad cut the tree and we wallowed back to the car dragging the tree behind us.
When we got home, my mother said it was one of the prettiest trees she had ever seen. My father winked at her. And she laughed. I knew they knew something my sister and I didn't, but I couldn't imagine what.
Many years later, Dad told us he knew the farmer and had permission to cut a Christmas tree there. I asked Dad why he let us think we had done something bad.
"More fun that way, wasn't it?" he said, grinning. Yeah, it was.
The last time my father and I cut a Christmas tree together was in 1988, when he and my mother lived at the pond.
"This time, I own the land," he said, when I reminded him of our tree adventure of 30 years ago.
Dad, hatchet in hand, and I walked along the snowy camp road until we found a small tree that suited us both.
My sons cobbled together a crude tree stand and we fashioned tree ornaments from newspaper, bits of wire, walnut shells, twigs, leaves, feathers and candy bar wrappers.
It was best the tree ever.
May your days be merry and bright, and filled with peace.

A week of snow days leaves Indiana schools scrambling to make up class time
- Image 1 of 3
- Image 2 of 3
- Image 3 of 3
INDIANAPOLIS – Jamie Boe and her three children have been stuck inside their suburban Indianapolis home with cabin fever, because first the snow and then subzero temperatures forced the school district to cancel classes.
Five days after their community of Noblesville was buried in nearly a foot of snow, and with temperatures rebounding into the 40s, the Boe children still weren't back in school Friday. And the two-week holiday break that had stretched to three was wearing thin.
"I personally have probably been less patient with all of my kids," Boe said. "My kids love school, and they have been begging to go back."
Poorly plowed roads still clogged with snow and ice are to blame for the extended break, along with snowbanks so high they are obscuring bus stops and making it hard for buses to navigate their routes.
The situation is frustrating parents and school officials, who must decide how to compensate for the lost days in the face of the state's 180-school-day mandate.
School officials say it's uncommon for Indiana students to miss an entire week of classes due to what amounts to routine weather in some parts of the country. Longer absences can occur when schools are damaged in storms, which happened when a tornado heavily damaged a southern Indiana high school in March 2012.
But this week's break is unusual.
"It's very, very rare, if you count (Friday), to have five days in a row where we couldn't get to school," Fort Wayne Community Schools spokeswoman Krista Stockman said.
Now schools in the state must decide how to handle the missed days. Indiana requires students to attend school 180 days.
Some districts schedule "flex days" during the year to use as makeup days in cases of weather cancellations. State schools that were out this week have another option: applying for a waiver from the Department of Education that would excuse them from making up Monday and Tuesday, when the polar vortex sent temperatures plunging well below zero. The remaining days missed this week will still need to be made up.
Spokesman Daniel Altman said the Department of Education had received about 300 requests for waivers as of Friday.
The last time statewide waivers were offered was in 2007-2008, when winter storms struck, he said. It's more common for Indiana to grant waivers on a smaller scale, such as in cases when schools have been hit by tornadoes.
Even with a waiver, some districts will have to tack on days at the end of the school year. The extended calendar could affect final exams and plans for graduation.
Another snow day in Noblesville and seniors might need to come to school the Saturday before graduation, an option the district has used before, public relations director Sharon Trisler said.
And it's only January.
Indiana schools aren't alone in their predicament. The 6,000-student Monroe Public Schools in far southeastern Michigan also canceled classes all week, and students in Michigan and Missouri have already used up their allotted six snow days.
Barry Martin, superintendent of the Monroe Public Schools, said it's surprising to have already missed a week. He said he's less worried about making up lost days than about getting students and teachers back in the academic swing of things after three weeks off.
Minnesota Department of Education spokesman Josh Collins said his agency doesn't plan to adjust the state's required number of school days for an academic year, which is 165.
Some die-hard Indiana school districts are determined not to waste a day of class. Bartholomew Consolidated School Corp., about an hour south of Indianapolis, only used four of six allotted snow days and has no plans to apply for a waiver, Superintendent John Quick said.
"How many days did our students miss last year because of bad weather?" Quick sometimes asks community groups. "It's a trick question because the answer is zero. We didn't miss a day, we made it all up."
Associated Press writers Jeff Karoub and Ed White in Detroit, Patrick Condon in St. Paul, Minn., and Heather Hollingsworth in Kansas City, Mo., contributed to this report.

Description:Atalla AXL600L SSL Accelerator Cardfor Proliant ServersPart Number(s)
Option Part# 524545-B21
Overview:The HP /Atalla AXL600L SSL Accelerator Card brings the power of a special-purpose peripheral processor to bear on the performance bottleneck of secure applications. It meets the PCI 2.2 specification and provides for easy installation and use. For example a typical secure server is saturated running only a handful of SSL connects per second at 100 percent CPU utilization. The AXL600L card offloads security processing overhead so that CPU utilization devoted to exponentiation drops to near zero. For much less than the cost of another general-purpose processor the AXL600L SSL Accelerator Card frees the server to run the business application.

|Keep It Simple, Stupid
Re^2: Tree traversal without recursion: the tree as a state machineby Aristotle (Chancellor)

Yes, it's just a different form of storage of the same data. Obviously, you have to store enough information to find your way around the tree somewhere. If it's not one place, it's another. However, this algorithm really does not use a stack, at least not if you define a stack in the only way which makes sense – that is, as a data structure whose defining property is support for the operations of pushing things onto the top and popping them off the top.
It consumes more space, of course, to keep all those parent pointers around. If you use a stack, they are transient and you only need O(log n) stack space, whereas it's O(n) if you store the pointers with the nodes – another way in which the two approaches are truly distinct.
What I like about this approach (which is what compelled me to post it) is the exceptional simplicity of the traversal algorithm. When it first occured to me, it seemed too simple to work – but no, the position and direction of the traverser encodes enough information to guide its path along the entire tree in the right order without any ambiguity.

Spinach. It's just rude.
There's lots of worry today about kids getting fat, eating unhealthy, filling up on high calorie snacks. Sure. But do you know what the real problem is? Every year, the bad foods get sexier, more fun, and cuter. Meanwhile, all the healthy foods are hanging around just as ugly as they were at creation.
Think about it. On the left, we have cheese stuffed rising crust artisan supreme five topping gooey extreme deep dish tastes like take-out pizza with free cinnamon sugary twist bread and butter soft sticks. On the right, we have broccoli. Seriously: broc co li. First off, what's with that name? It sounds like something's stuck in the garbage disposal. And, just what the heck is it? And, how'd we ever get the idea kids would sit up and salivate when they hear it's for dinner?
Food companies know better. They don't call those yellowish poo shaped things in the foil bag by what they really are. Cattle feed, ground and mashed in monster vats with truckloads of syrup and salt. Laced with won't-ever-go-bad chemical secret powder. Then squeezed out wet, blown with factory air, hit with dayglow dust, and shoveled into bags by the tons.
If they called them what they are, they'd never leave the shelf. Instead, whole teamloads of high paid experts are hired to pimp them up. They get completely phony names, like 'itos' or 'ingles'. They get put on TV with big production numbers, cool cartoon avatars, and insanely happy snackers. Really, look at the people in those commercials: are they wolfing chips, or antidepressants?
Next to these, vegetables just look like shiploads of immigrants at the Oscars.
Isn't it time somebody decided to re-brand and market the food we really want kids to eat? Why do we have to keep trying to push something past tightly pinched lips that sounds like number one? Are we permanently stuck calling it peas? I say, time for a makeover. To get the ball rolling, here are five Good Food 2.0 ideas.
1. Mean Green Bully Blast – Today's kids want edgy, power loaded foods that will make a difference on the school bus or swing set. Have you ever known any cool kid with a bag of broccoli? 'Broccoli' is something musty from the old country you find in grandma's trunk in the back of the closet that'll get you flattened and banned.
2. Shred Head with Shag – Yeah, it's still just salad – and isn't that a really appealing food name to kids. Does any other word in the English language start with 'sal' except saliva? Why would anyone want to put that in their mouth? And, even worse, stop calling them lettuce and carrots – seriously, they sound exactly like something you'd accidentally gag up. Le-eh-eht-tuce. Carrrr-rot. Yuck.
3. Dragon Scales with Wizard Stone Clusters – I don't know who thought up the name 'granola'. I do know, not one of the top 500 popular kid's cereals is called 'granola'. And, anybody who believes I'm going to sit over breakfast and convince my tykes they'll poop better when they're fifty if they eat lots and lots of fiber instead of magically delicious marshmallow shapes, has never been to my house.
4. Sunsweeties – Nature has done a bang up good job of taking pure sunshine, turning it into delicious flavored sugar, storing it in fragrant, bright colored, fun shaped packages. Then, we started messing with things, calling them 'fruits' and whatnot, and put the kids right off. So now, companies buy them up, boil them down, dilute the goodness and mix it with gluey, inky stuff and sell the same thing as treats. There's something funny about that. I'm just not sure what.
5. White Leopard NinjaMight – You can tell just how long ago cottage cheese got its name from the fact that (a) nobody has lived in a cottage since Hansel and Gretel and (b) they stopped making cheese inside them long before that. And what kind of cheese comes out of a dank little hut in the forest in the first place? I can tell you my kids won't touch it, no matter how good for their bones, with protein and all.
Try it yourself, and you'll see what I mean. Put your own marketing whiz to use, and stop calling healthy foods by names that doom them to the garbage bin. And, do us all a favor, share some of your ideas here, for other dads. Or, just keep shoveling the s and peas.

From Charlie in Ravenna:
I am a regular rider, and don't have many complaints (everyone has some, right) but the fare increase really surprised me. I understand the need for an increase (like you, I disagree with the way that transit is funded, but a fare increase is better than decreased service), but I had no idea that they would apply the fare retroactively.
I purchased a twelve month pass in November 2007, so it expires in October 2008. This was before the fare increase was announced. Today, I received a letter saying that I need to pay to upgrade my pass for the remaining months on the term of the pass. So I have to pay $63 for my pass to work for $1.75 fares (the new rush hour fare). And, I can only do this at two locations downtown, during weekday work hours.
I feel pretty used here. The annual pass requires a huge upfront cash payment. Shouldn't they be rewarding us for making a big investment in public transit, rather than giving us a major headache by making us take off work and go downtown to pay above the funds we budgeted for when we bought the pass?
Has anyone else found this to be unreasonable?
I didn't know about this insanity until Charlie contacted me (I receive a free Flexpass through work), but I definitely find it to be unreasonable. Frankly, I'm wondering how it's even legal. Let's assume that Charlie purchased the pass only because it was within his budget back in November, and let's assume that he can't afford to upgrade or pay an extra 25 cents every time he rides. Can he get a refund? And isn't protection against changes in price one of the advantages of paying in advance? From what I understand, my employer doesn't have to pay to upgrade my pass and won't see any change in costs until Flexpasses are renewed in July.
Perhaps Seattle does need a bus riders' union…

As of April 30, there were 7 issues of FINAL CRISIS and 23 additional tie-in comics on the schedule. Here's my three-part contest:
1) How many issues of additional FINAL CRISIS tie-ins will be announced after April 30 but before the end of the series?
2) Which will be the first issue of FINAL CRISIS or its associated titles to be released later than its scheduled ship week?
3) When will the final issue of FINAL CRISIS be released?
Leave your guesses in the comments. I'll accept guesses for each of these until, let's say, June 25, since I am fairly sure that FC #2 is finished. Closest guess on each gets a special prize. [This contest is now closed.]
[As of May 17, DC UNIVERSE: LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT, FC #1: DIRECTOR'S CUT SPECIAL and FC: SUPERMAN BEYOND #2 had all been added to the schedule. On Sep. 13, FC: SECRET FILES #1 was added.]

I cannot express how exited I am to have Mr. Wolk blog about Final Crisis. I enjoyed reading 52 Pickup as much as I enjoyed reading 52.

1) How many issues of additional FINAL CRISIS tie-ins will be announced after April 30 but before the end of the series?
10 - 1 more issue of Final Crisis, plus 3 one shots and 1 3-issue mini and a 3-issue aftermath.
2) Which will be the first issue of FINAL CRISIS or its associated titles to be released later than its scheduled ship week?
Final Crisis 3 will miss by a week because they can fudge since there's no issue in August, but one of the August books will have a reveal that spoils something.
3) When will the final issue of FINAL CRISIS be released?
January 28.

Can we confirm whether 'aftermath' books count for the first question? Aren't they usually given different headings? (e.g. "Decimation" vs. "House of M", or "Initiative" vs. "Civil War" - I know both those examples are Marvel, but I still think it's a relevant point)
- May 13, 2008 at 11:36 AM
- Douglas Wolk said...
Let's say "aftermath" books don't count--only titles meant to appear before or at the same time as the final issue of FC. (So Donnie, your estimate for question 1 becomes 7 now...)
joeyramone, thanks for your kind words!

I just hope the comics themselves make it worth doing. I'm sure FC itself will be wonderful, but far less sure about the tie-ins...

Any hope of you annotating the Batman RIP storyline too--at least the Morrison parts of it?

- Douglas Wolk said...
Sean--good to see you here too! As for "Batman RIP," all I can say is yikes: I was hoping I could find somebody else who could annotate it! Morrison seems to be drawing heavily on the '50s/'60s era of Batman stories, most of which I've never read. So the Michael Fleischer Batman Encyclopedia that DC just reprinted a few months ago is sort of helpful for pointing in the right direction (its final entry is Zur-En-Arrh)... but I'm at sea too.

Pg. 12:
All three dust samples are being collected from genocide sites. Wonder Woman herself was brought to life from a clay statue; perhaps something similar but more sinister is planned for this soil.
Maybe they're building Negative Wonder Woman? :)

The last panel would appear to be a black lantern; we don't know anything more about that yet either.
What we know is what was established at the end of the "Sinestro Corps" conflict : that the black lantern houses the power of (or is made from) the Anti-Monitor, whose essence was drawn and trapped here by a yet unrevealed third party, soon after his "destruction".

I'm not sure if Last Will and Testament really counts, since it doesn't feature the Final Crisis branding, even if it's related to the story - it's the same deal with JLA 21 (which is a "sightings" tie-in) and things get WAY heavier when we add Dark Side Club tie-ins, like this week's upcoming Birds of Prey and Flash. I'm sure there's a reason it's not labeled Final Crisis: Last Will and Testament, since that'd probably sell better anyway.
- May 20, 2008 at 8:27 AM
- Douglas Wolk said...
Might be hairsplitting, but I'm counting "Last Will" as a direct tie-in because it's got the three-vertical-columns cover design. I don't quite get why it doesn't have the FC brand on it either.

1) One, not counting unofficial tie-ins such as JLA #21 and Last Will and Testament, which are more stories that occur around FC than parts of FC themselves. And not counting Superman Beyond #2, the split in which was announced after April 30.
2) Final Crisis #5
3) January 2009

It's not really the 3-vertical-columns, it seems to be sort of using that motif to show that it's covering the periphery of the event (I'd expect the cover text to be in the middle). The reason I think it didn't get the FC treatment is that the overall tie-in count seems to be vetted by Grant Morrison, and maybe he didn't want what's likely to be 32 pages of crying associated with the mega-story. (Johns, Tomasi and Rucka/by extension Trautmann are all established collaborators; I know Morrison expressed dismay with Identity Crisis one or two times.)

Restaurants for Refugees is a new event in Denver that pairs refugees and cooks with local chefs to create special dishes the week of June 9-15.
The dishes will be featured on participating restaurant menus this week and a percentage of the proceeds from each dish sold will be donated to the African Community Center of Denver.
There are more than 46,000 refugees living in Denver.
"Refugees bring with them rich traditions and diverse cultures—and central to many of these traditions and cultures is food," say organizers. "Most refugee communities cling tightly to the ingredients and flavors that directly link them to home and personal history. Restaurants for Refugees gives both Denver's mainstream community and the refugee community the opportunity to share their flavors (and stories) on one plate."

Latest News
Yemen al Qaida group appears to think globally, act locally
In the words of Yemeni President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, it was a plot that aimed to change history.
Intercepted communications between Ayman al Zawahiri, Osama bin Ladin's successor as the head of al Qaida, and Nasir al Wuhayshi, the head of al Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, a Yemen-based franchise of the terrorist group, appeared to indicate an impending operation of mammoth proportions.
Usually staid European nations shuttered their embassies in Sanaa; the United States and the United Kingdom went as far as airlifting staff from the Yemeni capital. The American government launched airstrikes on the country, hitting 10 targets in five provinces in the span of 15 days. Spy planes hovered in Sanaa's skies.
The apparent plot seemed a manifestation of the U.S. government's greatest fears regarding the terrorist group that former CIA director David Petraeus once dubbed the "most dangerous node in the global jihad."
But many Yemenis – ranging from tribesmen angered by the increase in drone activity to government officials offended by the tacit message of distrust sent by the U.S.'s and United Kingdom's rapid pullouts – criticized Washington's response as an overreaction.
The August incident underscored the sometimes-confusing nature of al Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, its goals and its real strength.
"They seem to be focusing on building a local base: They find a vacuum and they fill it," Abdulghani al Iryani, a Sanaa-based political analyst, said of the group. "This makes them even more dangerous than they were before."
For its part, al Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula appears to relish the spotlight. The group has released a series of written, video and audio statements in recent days, and analysts have said the scope of the group's rhetoric underscores its wider ambitions.
The result of a 2009 merger of al Qaida's Yemeni and Saudi branches, al Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula is most notorious for its role in a botched attempt to blow up an American passenger airplane on Christmas Day of that year, with the "underwear bomber." Yemen-based al Qaida operatives previously had launched numerous attacks on American targets, most notoriously the 2000 attack on the USS Cole and a 2008 assault on the U.S. Embassy in Sanaa, before al Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula was formed.
The recent statements come in the aftermath of a bombing earlier this week that targeted a bus carrying members of the Yemeni air force to their base on the outskirts of Sanaa. Yemeni officials said they suspected that al Qaida operatives were behind the blast, which left one person dead and dozens wounded.
In addition, dozens of Yemeni military and security officers have been assassinated this year alone. The attacks range from assaults by motorcycle-riding gunmen to vehicle bombs broadly similar to Sunday's attack; the government has largely blamed these other attacks on al Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula.
There has yet to be any claim of responsibility for Sunday's bombing, however, and it didn't appear to be mentioned in recent remarks issued by the group.
"AQAP's messages appear to be aimed at a broader international audience, rather than just at Yemeni themselves," said Fernando Carvajal, a Sanaa-based Yemen analyst. "These types of attacks present a complex scenario. They appear disconnected from the messages published by AQAP."
In those recent messages, high-ranking clerics focused on recent events in the region, noting that jihadist fighters had made gains in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan and slamming the Saudi government for backing the ouster of former Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi. They cast the actions of al Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula as only a single front in a global battle against the U.S. and its allies, seizing on the evacuation of embassy staff to portray the United States as a paper tiger.
"Now America is running from Afghanistan amidst heavy military defeat as the Islamic Emirate returns under the leadership of the commander of the faithful, Mullah Omar," cleric Hareth al Nathari said in one of the group's video statements, referring to Mullah Mohammad Omar, the leader of the Afghan Taliban. "And in Yemen . . . America evacuated its citizens and intelligence officers by a military cargo plane, a scene indicating the severity of the terror and panic resulting from the anger of the Islamic world due to its crimes against Muslims."
A subsequent statement attributed to al Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula that was posted on an online jihadist forum went even further, casting claims of an impending operation as "propaganda" aimed at justifying American military action.
While potential plots against Western targets tend to take center stage in international discussions, in Yemen itself the focus tends to fall on a far quieter form of activity by the group.
Acknowledging that American drone strikes and Yemeni military actions have increased the pressure on al Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, many analysts of the group have stressed that such acts ultimately have done little more than spur the group to change tactics.
While the group's statements are filled with lofty rhetoric and grand ambitions, when it comes to actions much of its attention is locally focused.
Since a spring 2012 offensive saw Yemeni troops dislodge militants affiliated with al Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula from former strongholds in the southern province of Abyan, the group has expanded its presence in rural areas across the country, capitalizing on simmering discontent with the central government and building support among locals.
Pointing to the gains the terrorist group has made, many analysts argue that its primary priority appears to be community relations and taking advantage of gaps left by the central government. But even if this indicates that striking the West may have taken a backseat for now, they stress that it means the group will only be far better placed to do so in the future.
"What appears to be happening is that AQAP has seen their efforts at external operations curtailed and has responded by shifting strategy," analyst Iryani said.

Not sure what to do here guys. My main drive was acting up, would only mount read-only. So I tar'd most of it over and rsynced the rest. Maybe I used the wrong switch somewhere, or maybe my pacman db was corrupt? I'm trying to update the system now and I get the file exists error for what I looks like every file on the system. The error log is 22000 lines.
coreutils: /bin/cat exists in filesystem

Is there anything I can do? Without needing to boot from install media?

You could try
pacman -Syu -f
The -f means force, and will overwrite all those files.
You could also try
pacman -S $(pacman -Qeq | grep -v "$(pacman -Qmq)") -f
which would reinstall every explicitly installed package not from the aur or a pkgbuild, with the -f flag.

Umm... looks like you completely missed moving you pacman database over. /var/lib/pacman/local
I was just re-copying that before refreshing the thread. Still doesn't work. Any other ideas? I think I'm going to just end up installing to another disk.
Not too sure about running -f. I mean, at least the system boots and runs fine...
Do you have a file called /var/lib/pacman/local/coreutils-*/files
I have /var/lib/pacman/local/coreutils-8.20-1 /{desc,files,install}
and files is empty

I fscked the original disk and the pacman db came back so I copied it over and everything is good. Solved I guess.

I have been working on creating my own shapes files, and a problem I have encountered is that imported bitmaps for monsters and weapons do not appear in game. If I export the original image, and then use that as a template for a new image, then it will appear in the game. This obviously constricts me to a certain size though.
I'm not sure what I could be doing wrong, and nowhere I have found any resource addressing this. I am using Shapefusion 0.6 on Windows 7.

A diabetic for more than 20 years, Francis Negrotti had undergone amputation of his leg below the knee. A month after his surgery, Francis' wound was turning black. Poor circulation was preventing the wound from healing and his doctors feared they might have remove more of his leg. After receiving 40 hyperbaric treatments, Francis' wound had healed and the rest of his leg was saved. "The staff at the Norman Knight Hyperbaric Medicine Center couldn't have been more helpful. The quality of care I received was terrific and I had a marvelous outcome," he said. Contact Us Today! 617-523-7900

Hear The Interview & More
Two-part interview airing Thursday, January 3 & Friday, January 4 on Morning Edition
Listen On Your Local Member Station
For many of you, these names have become as familiar to you as your own family members' names. For anyone not in the know, these are the characters on the PBS Masterpiece Classic popular period-drama Downton Abbey.
With the third season slated to debut in the United States this Sunday, Jan. 6, several of the cast members stopped by the NPR DC headquarters to talk with Morning Edition Host David Greene about what's coming up.
Later in the day, presumably when Hugh Bonneville, Jim Carter, Sophie McShera, Elizabeth McGovern, Joanne Froggatt and Rob James-Collier had a chance to get into one of their six change of clothes for the day, we caught up with the cast once again. They invited us to document their love for NPR as they headed into a reception celebrating the program at the British Embassy in Washington, D.C.

Andrew Wyeth, one of America's most recognized and beloved artists, is the subject of a compelling retrospective that takes a fresh look at seven decades of accomplishment. Though linked to the realist traditions of Winslow Homer, Thomas Eakins, and Edward Hopper, Wyeth often transcends literal transcription to move into the realm of memory and imagination, inviting viewers into a strange and wondrous world. In Wyeth's work, objects transform metaphorically into portraits of friends, family, and even the artist himself. The exhibition explores how Wyeth invests these objects with meaning, and how he will sometimes begin with figure subjects and then gradually paint people out of the picture, leaving the objects to tell the stories themselves.
Exhibition Minutes
Rediscover the artist you thought you knew…
The exhibition includes approximately one hundred tempera paintings, watercolors, and drawings, many from the personal collection of Andrew and Betsy Wyeth. It focuses on recurrent themes in the artist's work, such as domestic interiors, vessels and architecture, intimate and panoramic landscapes, friends and family, and still-life subjects, many of which reflect personal as well as universally shared emotions and concepts. The works are organized both chronologically and thematically to demonstrate how these subjects were born in Wyeth's early career, became distinct in his middle period, and have been revisited in new and startling ways in recent years.
Wyeth's method, based on observation and memory, and his style, which pushes toward simplicity and abstraction, has developed over the decades into increasingly symbolic and surreal imagery. Always popular for his fine-detailed temperas and freely brushed watercolors, Wyeth continues to combine technical mastery and emotional power in his most recent work, shown publicly for the first time in this exhibition.
|The exhibition is generously supported by the Lincoln and Mercury Brands of Ford Motor Company; GlaxoSmithKline; and PECO, An Exelon Company. Additional support is provided by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development, the City of Philadelphia, and The Annenberg Foundation Fund for Exhibitions at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Promotional support is provided by NBC 10 WCAU; The Philadelphia Inquirer, Daily News, and Philly.com; and Amtrak.
The exhibition is organized by the High Museum of Art and the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
CuratorsThe curatorial team for Andrew Wyeth: Memory & Magic includes guest curator Anne Classon Knutson for the High Museum of Art, and, at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Kathleen A. Foster, the Robert L. McNeil, Jr., Curator of American Art, and Michael Taylor, the Muriel and Philip Berman Curator of Modern Art.
