Don't they have Hunt and Kill Special Force teams in Mexico dedicated to eradicating these Sicarios? This is way beyond ridiculous..ReplyDelete
The murder of the other police officer was in December, not 14 months ago.ReplyDelete

how do they ever get people to fill these jobs and what is the persons motives to take it? these seem like no win positions. they are either targets of all gangs or the target of one or another. there is no middle ground nor place to hide. once in the job the only way out is death.ReplyDelete

It's August.
How did this happen? How do I have less than a month to finish my dissertation? More importantly, why is my dissertation still on legal paper strewn about my flat?
I suppose that's something, though, that my dissertation actually exists, albeit in pieces. I'm totally deserving of a blogging break, right?
August is a pretty awesome month, deadlines aside. My birthday is in less than two weeks (eek!) and it'll be my one-year expat-a-versary at the end of the month. Do I get a little trophy or something for surviving? The winter alone qualified me for a trophy, I think.
To celebrate the last and best month of summer, here are some previously unseen photos of my summer so far:
My handsome and very clever Boyfriend graduated university the day after we got back from our trip to the States. The fact that we're both awake for this picture deserves some props.
(Do people say props anymore? I didn't realize that I'd get so out of touch with the hip young folks at the age of nearly 23.)
Could he be cuter? No. No, he couldn't.
Our 4th of July party was a success. I made pulled pork, we drank mojitos, and then we threw tea into the Clyde.
That's right. We took some loose-leaf tea and an Assassin's Creed flag and re-created the Boston Tea Party. It was our baby rebellion. Our forefathers would be proud.*
We've had the most glorious summer I could have imagined. That's not saying much considering that I wasn't expecting any summer whatsoever, but it's been fantastic all the same.
I can't believe that August is here already. It was just October, I swear. And as awesome as my birthday will be, August is going to kidnap a lot of my friends and ship them back to their home countries. It'll be a bittersweet month, for sure. I'm going to go try and finish as much of my dissertation as I can, so I can spend the next few weeks loving on my friends. And eating cake, obviously, because I'm an emotional baker. If you're in the area and want to give me a hand with it, let me know. I'll be your cake dealer.
*Writing that sentence made the history geek in me flail.

3 Months in Thailand - My kit
3 Months in Thailand - My kit
My kit when I left NZ is so different now to when I left. This is some of what I now have and what I ditched.
1. Rucksack
2. Universal Plug (absolutely a must)
3. Pegs (use them almost every day for all sorts of things)
4. 2 x Facecloths - very handy
5. Tissue paper and wet handy wipes (essential for toilets) (Tissue papers is easy to get here but handy wipes - haven't found any yet).
6. Toothpaste (Am now down to Thai brands which are sugary - wish I had brought more with me from home)
7. 2 pairs of shorts - the ones with pockets on the side for wallets and paper are good.
8. 4 sarongs, good for extra bedding, covering well used cushions, etc. 2 would suffice, but I like sarongs.
9. If you are going to sunbake then take lots of suntan lotion, its expensive here. (A bottle once a week we used for 2 people.)
10. Mosquito spray (its cheap over here to buy and readily avail.) However I wish I had bought some odourless garlic tablets and taken them instead, I got lazy prior to leaving and didn't get them! Yes they do work!
11. Marino top (string shoulders) - use it heaps, probably 2 would have been better!
12. One pair of long trousers.
13. Two pairs of bikinis for beach (bring your own unless you are as small as a Thai - larger sizes 14+ are hard to get)
14. A warm hat, was glad I had one once. (nearly ditched it the day before - so you never know!) It doesn't take up a lot of space.
15. Buy your clothes from where you are coming from - especially tops and dresses, you can only get "Warehouse" type stuff here, there's not a lot of choice and is overpriced.
16. A phrase book, has been quite handy at times.
17. Clothes washing powder.
18: A pair of leggings - been quite handy for colder nights and for exercising.
19. Two T Shirts - preferably a thinner ones as they are easier to dry.
20. Shoes: I am now down to 1 pair of thongs, those plastic moulded shoes and some sandals I bought over here. See my wish list, for what I wish I had brought with me. There's a reason I have both the thongs and plastic moulded shoes. The moulded shoes can get too hot sometimes, but they are particularly good for their height in some toilets you come across. The thongs/jandals I bought 'cause they are cooler. My sandals are good for long distances but not so easy to slip on and off (which you do a lot over here) like the other two.
21. Fishermans pants, easily available over here and cheap at 120BHT, maybe less in some other places.
22. 1 dress
Heavy cardigan (too hot, had some marinos and a lighter cardigan).
Hiking Shoes (never did any hiking and they took up a lot of space and weight) - wish I had just bought over a pair of good sneakers as I like to exercise.
Marino's - had way too many - now travel with 2 marino tops which is ample.
Hard suitcases - thought they would be good from a safety aspect, but too inconvenient.
Travel towels - no need for towels, every place gives you one. Did find 2 facecloths handy tho!
Hand towel - never used it - smaller face cloths were more useful.
Sun Hat (personal preference - don't like hats and we'd finished our beach stint)
Extra pair of trousers (never needed them)
Socks - why did I bring 7 pair?? - I now have 2 and have only used them once.
I wish list:
Wish I had found a 240v adaptor for my digital camera - can't find one yet after 3 months rendering my camera useless.
Wish I had bought more toothpaste.
I wish I had brought some biscuits with me - they're way overpriced here.
I wish I had brought some bi carb soda with me (for urinary infections) - you can't buy it here, nor Ural.
Sandshoes for exercising with the locals!
We also make our own breakfasts where ever we go as I am so over scrambled or fried eggs which seem to be all that's on offer apart from sweeter alternatives. Sometimes we are lucky and we can get baked beans mmmmm - that's a treat. Sometimes we buy local fresh food and have tins of makerel for lunch also. So if you want to do that, bring a plate, bowl, small cutting knife, utensils and tea towel and a small bottle with washing up liquid.
There's probably a lot more I could add here but hope this helps people who are thinking of coming over here longer than a short holiday.

Well, I think I don't need the bikinis...
Here's my list:
1. Toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, cologne.
2. One change of clothes for each day. Two if I am doing dance workshops.
3. Dancing shoes.
5. Phone Charger
6. Phone
If I am not going dancing, then DX the shoes.

HI , Just a few notes:
Bicarb of soda is available in all supermarkets here like Tesco Lotus or Big C. An excellent alternative is cranberry juice. Just drink a sizeable amount to cure a bout of infection or a little often to keep it at bay if you are susceptible.
You can buy the same colgate tootpate here as in NZ. Just look for the same packaging. My present one is salty not sweet. It takes much longer to shop here as you do have to look carefully for everything until you get use to it.
I definitely agree that you should bring the bulk of your clothes with you and do not rely on buying it here. I am a NZ 12 and here i am at least an XL - often unavailable.
You will also find the styles 'unfamiliar'
Happy packing

JSFD in times of change: A reflection on milestones met and challenges ahead
JSFD in times of change: A reflection on milestones met and challenges ahead
Publication type
|JSFD in times of change
Editors of the Journal of Sport for Development announce upcoming changes.
In March 2013, the Journal of Sport for Development (JSFD) published its first issue as an online, open-access academic journal explicitly dedicated to sport for development (SFD) research. JSFD's mission was to embark on a journey towards advancing, examining and disseminating best practices and evidence of effectiveness from programmes and interventions that use sport to promote (international) development in the seven thematic areas of: education, disability, gender, health, livelihoods, social cohesion, and peace. Five years from its inauguration, it seems timely to look back and reflect on some of JSFD's organisational developments, key achievements, and future challenges.
Since its inception, JSFD has achieved a number of important milestones. Most importantly, the journal has established itself as a reputable scholarly outlet that is attractive and relevant to researchers, practitioners and policymakers from around the world. More specifically, JSFD has published a total of six volumes with two issues per year. This has included a special issue on disability published in 2016, and another special issue on SFD in Latin America published in 2018. The special issue focusing on Latin America is a particularly important achievement, as JSFD has always aimed to encourage contributions from academics and practitioners from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) across the globe, which are traditionally under-represented in scholarly research. Overall, over 150 submissions from scholars spanning 34 countries have been received to date, and 136 experts from different nations have been engaged in JSFD's double-blind peer-review process. Finally, JSFD's editorial board has grown to represent an internationally acclaimed group of academics and practitioners with largely diverse backgrounds and an equal gender balance. The JSFD editors and editorial board aim to "practice what we preach" with a strong focus on equity, access and diversity.

One thing that is a common thread, if the blog owner is pictured (as opposed to an avatar, a cartoon character, a body part, or animated gif), the blog owners are smiling. The blogosphere members of MyBlogLog seem to be a happy lot - lots of smiles and friendly people.
And the topics are as diverse as people themselves are - some are technical, product specific, personal (like mine), about pets - dogs, cats, birds, spiders....you name it, countries, cities, food, boyfriends/girlfriends, politics, school, marriage, divorce, kids, work and the list goes on and on. It's fun to read the blogs, get inside someone else's mind, experiences, and whatever else they allow.
I enjoy the blogs and will start adding my favorites here on my site. ALSO DON'T FORGET TO SCROLL ALL THE WAY DOWN TO SEE PICTURES OF THE WEDDING!!!!
Happy blogging!! But more importantly Happy Reading! I would not be a blog if no one read it....it would be "Latin"......my feeble attempt at humor past my bedtime. :)

Guilty pleasure: Grace Jones' 'Corporate Cannibal'
I'm out sick today, but I don't want to leave you hanging. So, apropos of nothing, I'm sharing my favorite guilty pleasure of the moment. It's Grace Jones' positively Strangé video for a song called "Corporate Cannibal," which was the bizarre first single from her 2008 CD, Hurricane. This clip premiered online last summer, but I still enjoy watching it on days like this when I'm feeling under the weather and desperately in need of a good giggle. If you loved her in 1992's Boomerang, you'll certainly dig this.

Can you guys believe Hazel is another month older?! I know, you guys are probably like, Duh, Kacie, that's how life works. Haha! But every month, I find myself wondering how she ever got to be a month older. Time is just flying by! I'm trying to soak up every second of time with her at each age but it's so hard to do that. Sometimes I wish I could just freeze time. Below are some of my favorite moments, memories, and milestones from the last month 🙂
– Hazel has started trying to stand without holding onto anything. The longest she's made it was 6 seconds but it felt more like 10 minutes to me. lol. I was so proud of her!
-She pulls herself up on EVERYTHING and practices walking with her push toy.
-She got her two top teeth! Making 4 teeth total.
– Her adorable face when she scrunches her nose and sniffs.
– Playing peek-a-boo…she turns her head to the side so she's not looking at you and then turns back and smiles. Too cute!
– She has started crying the second a stranger talks to her or gets too close to her. I felt bad for the nice guy at the grocery store who said she was really cute and then she screamed in his face. Haha!
– She has started saying "papa" when she sees her grandpa (my dad).
– Hazel loves waving to everyone.
– Watching her play with her big cousins. These kids are going to have so much fun growing up!
– Our trip to Yosemite with the backpack incident #momfail
– Her open mouth, tongue out kisses 🙂
-When she hears music, she bobs her head up and down and it's the cutest!
– She can also give "eskimo kisses".
– She thinks she needs to brush my teeth when I brush hers.
– When I put Hazel down for a nap, she sucks one of her thumbs and then sticks her other thumb in my mouth. lol.
– Within the past couple days, she has started throwing the ball to us. And then she eventually starts eating the ball. lol.
XO, Kacie

Camelot Illinois VP receives First Chair Award for Top General Counsel
Keith Horton honored for accomplishments, hard work, innovation and contributions to the legal community
CHICAGO, Aug. 29, 2018 – Camelot Illinois is pleased to announce that Vice President of Compliance and General Counsel Keith Horton has been selected as a First Chair Award recipient for Top General Counsel. He will be recognized at the First Chair Awards Gala tonight at the Montgomery Club in Chicago.
First Chair is an organization designed to bring together a community of accomplished attorneys in private practice with in-house counsel. For the annual First Chair Awards, private practice attorneys nominate their in-house peers for a variety of honors such as top general counsel, top litigation counsel and more.
"We are proud to celebrate this well-deserved honor for Keith," said Colin Hadden, General Manager of Camelot Illinois. "His expertise and talent have been critical to our success, and we are happy to see him receive this recognition from his peers."
Horton joined Camelot earlier this year after a career in private practice and public service, most recently as General Counsel for the Illinois State Treasurer's Office.
Horton was nominated for the First Chair Award by past and current colleagues. Their nominations were based on Horton's work spanning the length of his career and his community service. He is vice-chair of the Chicago Bar Association's Administrative Law Committee, a trustee for the Yale Club of Chicago Foundation, and an ethics committee member of USA Taekwondo.

I really like Tucker's hat… 🙂
And I still think that submarine's too small! Even if it isn't drawn to scale.
hello nice reederz its dennis the vizsla dog hay those hillbillies hav tayken all owr oyl away in there fleet of gleeming tanker trucks so the big hole is empty and now trixie and me ar going down in it to find tucker wish us luk!!!

Oh Dennis
Our pictures or your pictures are not loading!!! We will have to come back – we think we need a new computer. Do you know a man in computers Dennis?
Martha & Bailey xxxx
PS Be back later……….
Santo Mackerel, something smells fishy here…
Woo – you had us on the edge of our seat right to the end.
Whew for a minute there we thought The Beatles were gonna come outta that yellow submarine.
Glad yer found Tucker, Gud job Dennis and Trixie.
Bobo and Meja
are those pauls bones? is he the walrus?
Thought I saw you down there. Nice to know you actually had a whole body and not just a head. Must have been the cave gas making me see things.
I am a little nervous about Tucker. He might need some deprogramming or at least intensive therapy after his ordeal.
Aaaaaahhhhhh, I love happy endings!!
Bongos? Is there going to be a poetry reading? Are there going to be beatniks?
I was so hoping for a pirate/sniper event. This was even better. 🙂
Once again, Trixie saves the day! My serious concern for Tucker's mental faculties have been relieved somewhat to see he has been in a submarine and not flopping around in that oil, altnough I do agree with Mango that he may need some therapy.
Good work, Gang!
Nice hat, Tucker! (And I don't want to know the gory details….)
*kissey face*
All's well that ends well, or so they say.
Good idea. Just make sure Mango is out of that hole before you close it!
Kisses and hugs
You had me worried, I am glad it all turned out ok. Nice hat on Tucker.
licks and sniffs, Sasha
Is that a big ol rib cage next to Trixie? OMD, that is too scary!

Oh dear Tucker, that Oops I ate it tag is going around, I think you need to fess up.
(Comment #27)You have a lot of weird friends, Dennis. 😉

1. Activate higher levels of awareness by threat assessment of location, lifestyle, and activity
2. Create countermeasures to known/unknown vulnerabilities
3. Consistently train physically to protect others, for one's own resistance and escape
However, the piece has gone long and I've decided to break it into two parts.
But first, an editorial:
Which of the principles above is the most important? Three. Period. Consistent training has the ability to habitually calibrate us in 'activating' ways provided it is uncovered in the training itself. This recognition of "oughtness" to oneself and others is by far the most important aspect in training, surpassing even the acquisition of raw skill/ability.
Not sure? Who would we rather back us in a fight: a martial artist with 30 years training, but who's an avowed pacifist and refuses to fight for any reason, or our untrained best friend, who's willing to die to protect us? Duty, obligation, a feeling of "must/ought/should" - this 'activating' quality matters; it is central to wisdom.
Without the obligation of the heart/will/spirit to intervene when such intervention is needed and necessary for ourselves and others, the training itself cancels out. Imagine training the compression and breathing techniques of CPR merely as a set of compartmentalized physical skills, but divorced from their design to be used to save lives. Without that crucial information to calibrate and attune CPR's usage, why exactly have we learned it? In other words, what is the point of learning to do something, if we are incapable of recognizing when such learning may be applied? It's like having solution to a problem we don't even know exists – even if we encounter it, we remain ignorant to any contribution to resolve it.
Martial ability alone does not change us for the better, only grants us opportunity to do so, provided it is moored to its 'activating' (ethical) design. Unless students are compelled to reflect on training's inherent responsibility, then in my opinion the training's potency is diluted from beneficial – virtuous - calibration to mere selfish endeavor. And when training gets too selfish, it can grow dark – quickly – and soon everyone is a potential enemy, everyone is suspect. Instead of becoming a happier, healthier, more attractive person – a brighter light to the world – we dim, obscured by shadows of our own making.
This is the biggest problem I see with most training - reliance on techniques is symptomatic of the excessive focus upon the self; the continual satisfaction of the relative needs of the ego. Perhaps you've heard martial arts destroys the ego, but this is silly - we need a healthy ego to thrive in this world. Training is meant to temper the ego through recognition of human nature's inherent "self and others" value, balancing our prideful wants with humility from the Natural Law's universal truths.
The reason is clear: if we seek highest development, we have to teach. We have to become a teacher - and yes, a leader - for ourselves as much as for others.
'Nuff said.
1. Activate higher levels of awareness by threat assessment (potential) of location, lifestyle, and activity.
Assess the safety of loved ones
Honestly and critically asses threats to the safety and lives of your loved ones and your property. I say others here, because we tend to take our own lives for granted and we are naturally more critical of the safety of those we care about than we are of ourselves. So, you need to assess yourself, but be sure to include the critical eye of someone who cares about you. Do this as a favor to yourself as much as to them, they'll appreciate you for it.
Location, lifestyle, activity
First off, break these terms down:
Location: "where you live life."Take a perspective as an intelligence analyst might – the more information you generate about your interactions with the "where," "what," and "how/when" the greater your chances at assessing threats.
Lifestyle: "what you do in life."
Activity: "how/when you do what you do in life."
"Location" should include up-to-date crime stats, demographics, and even traffic patterns, lest you had to make a hasty evacuation. Where is the nearest hospital, fire, and police station? Where are the crime-ridden areas? Are they areas you frequent? Tape up a map of your city or town to your wall and mark them out. Download a map app of the city on a smartphone if you have one. How easy is it to catch a cab? What are the schedules for public transportation? Where can I get gas – at 2am? Have there been any robberies at that location? Check the crime stats.
Here in Chicago, the Tribune Red Eye Homicide Tracker is a terrific resource: http://homicides.redeyechicago.com/ It's nearly a real-time log chronicling the where, when, and what of violence and criminality throughout the city - a kick in the ass by reality and a great way to contextualize one's area.
"Lifestyle" includes everything from job, to hobbies, to values, and attitudes that impact choices to do or not do something. What kind of work do you do? What hobbies do you enjoy? Are you politically active? Religious? Be honest – could your choices directly impact safety for you or loved ones?
"Activity" is the most important of the three, for it's the actual way - how and when - one does something, in a certain place, at a certain time; it physically triangulates us. We are always engaged in some activity - we are always some where, doing some thing, at some time. And most of the time we are probably in centralized locations for most of our days, as with work, or being at home (including the time we sleep).
Any and all information is useful in answering these questions. In fact, just the act of gathering the information will produce all kinds of questions and answers one might never have thought about previously. But having the information is not enough, we have to do something with it. One of the best ways to do this is to play a game; I call it the "Find cover - now what?" game - a means to practice thinking tactically.
Find cover – now what?
Something happens: find cover - now what? This is to practice thinking tactically (the plan itself is not the issue, mind you, but forming, making, and deciding a tactical one). It should be based on whatever scenario we can imagine using our daily routine as a backdrop or wherever or whatever we happen to be doing at the time.
There is one rule and it's right in the title – find cover. This means physically taking cover – actually doing what you believe will work to immediately safeguard yourself or loved ones or whomever from whatever threat you have imagined. The reason is twofold: the world can look drastically different from unconventional perspectives (hiding under a car, from behind a dumpster, etc.) and the other reason is one should train to do it. Don't just think about what you would do – actually do it as best you can (just don't call me if you're arrested for climbing a fire escape or something).
At the mall or school? An "Active Shooter" walks in with an AK-47: find cover - now what? At a baseball game? A drunken riot breaks out next to you: find cover, now what? Pay attention to the news - hear about some horrible story? What would you have done differently? If we want to add another layer to it, we can start timing ourselves, family, or friends. Begin with a one minute countdown right after they take cover, then reduce the time by 10 seconds each successive round. Act as "dungeonmaster" here - answer their questions and walk them through what is happening so they can form a cogent plan.
This aspect leads to an important distinction: focusing on the threat alone is a mistake – we have to step back far enough to be able to see how the threat impacts everyone and everything around us. In other words, don't focus on the change (the threat) in our midst - you'll wind up being late – learn instead to see the "potential" for change.
On "potential"
Raising awareness isn't just about looking for specific threats, or even training against them, but taking the view from 40,000 feet: where, how, and when does the potential exist for threats to manifest (just like Taijutsu)? And once they have occurred, how are they impacting our options?
This is what I mean by "unknown" vulnerabilities – the most dangerous, the one's we don't even know are threats. It asks the question: how can we proactively protect ourselves against something we aren't even sure we should be protecting ourselves against? Good question. Answer: proper physical training prepares us to recognize, interpret, and adapt to not just specialized threats, but the potential for change itself.
When we train are we simply looking to defend ourselves against the punch, the kick, the knife? Are we simply looking to be able with a variety of martial weapons? Is training just resistance against possible victimization by some "bad guy?" If so, this misses the big picture. Statistically speaking for the majority people, the chances of being attacked are remote. Having to defend oneself is not implausible, but the probability it will ever occur does not even lay decent odds for betting. So, then, why train?
Well, there are lots of good reasons to train, worthy of lengthy discussion. But my short answer is physical training offers far more than mere defensibility. It offers us the opportunity to raise our level of awareness (perhaps even our level of consciousness) by learning to see the world differently. Change happens everyday, all around us, all the time, and Taijutsu seeks to connect, 'tune in,' if you will, with the potential for that change. For in the potential lies all manner of threat, malicious and non-malicious, like accidentally being hit by a car. By comparison, "bad guy" threats would occupy only the first chapter in an infinite-volume set on the "variable."
So, think of it like staying healthy: we aren't trying to treat a specific threat (doctors do that), but instead create enough well being throughout our system to stay aware of the potential that something is amiss; unhealthy people are usually not as 'body conscious.' Set the conditions, or make ourselves aware of conditions - real-time, forth-coming, or imminent - and the better our chances will be to adapt to change when it impacts us, like knowing the weather as a good indicator of how attentive we need to drive.
Once one chooses to broaden their view, it's hard to go back. Looking ahead can illuminate much, and if we can learn to key in on the potential for these moments, we can create countermeasures against them.
I'll post the next part when it's done.

Workers' compensation systems have existed in civilized nations for more than 1,000 years. In the United States, workers' compensation laws are written by the states. California's workers' comp system is more than 100 years old.
The fundamental purpose of workers' compensation is noble: to give harmed workers the resources they need to heal and — if possible — return to work.
What's Supposed To Happen
After an illness or injury, workers file a claim with their employers' workers' compensation insurance carrier.
Workers' compensation provides benefits that cover medical bills, mileage reimbursement for doctor's appointments, wage replacement, compensation for permanent injuries, benefits for survivors and retraining/vocational rehabilitation.
Employers are not allowed to retaliate (termination, for example) against workers who file a workers' comp claim or provide evidence in another employee's workers' comp case.
What Actually Happens
Unfortunately, many insurance companies and employers do everything they can do to deny benefits to the people who need them. As a result, ill and injured workers often:
- Are forced to see the company doctor
- Are not given adequate medical care
- Are forced to return to work before they are healed
- Do not receive fair compensation
- Are fired for reporting the illness or injury
After an injury, you have a lot at stake and the other side doesn't care about your future. That's why it is so important to put an experienced workers' comp attorney on your side who will fight for what you deserve.
Speak With A Lawyer For Free
If you have suffered an illness or injury at work, contact an experienced workers' compensation lawyer. Call Auxilium Law Group, PLC, of Encino, California, at 818-855-2330, or connect with us through our website.

City of Hopes stem cell treatment shows promise against AIDS
DUARTE, Calif. Working with four lymphoma patients whose bone marrow had been killed via chemotherapy, a team led by Dr. David DiGuisto, director of haematopoietic cell therapies at City of Hope Medical Center in Duarte, Calif., has demonstrated promising results from subsequent treatment with genetically altered stem cells. The scientists are planning further research to establish whether the treatment might rid patients of HIV infection altogether.
The technique involves introducing genes that curb the spread of HIV inside the body into human stem cells, then transplanting the stem cells into a patient's bone marrow. In the first human trial, anti-HIV stem cells were transplanted into the four AIDS patients undergoing bone marrow replacement as part of treatment for lymphoma. The stem cells, DiGuisto says, are a mixture of genetically altered cells and "a sufficient dose of unmanipulated stem cells." The protocol calls for no less than 2 million cells per kilogram of body weight. "Our best estimate," DiGuisto adds, "is that about one percent of the cells are of the genetically altered type." All four infused patients are in remission for lymphoma with no recurrence of HIV.
Presenting his finds from the trial at the Stem Cell World Congress in Palm Springs, Calif., DiGuisto described his work as "A first-in-humans study of safety and feasibility of stem cell therapy for AIDS lymphoma using stem cells treated with a lentiviral vector encoding multiple anti-HIV RNAs." Unanswered at this time is the fate of the 99 percent of the stem cells that were infused without the protecting treatment. The hope is that, in a sort of "survival of the fittest" at the cellular level, the treated stem cells will proliferate and take over.
"We are currently doing two things to improve the process," DiGuisto says. "First, we are seeking approval of a protocol to introduce 100 percent of the modified stem cells. A second approach would be to introduce the same modified genes into T-lymphocytes of HIV patients. We have data to show that the resistant cells are persisting in our lymphoma patients. It is still an experimental treatment, but we hope that eventually we will be able to give AIDS patients just one transplant that would protect them for life."
The next step is to repeat the first-in-human trial in five to 10 patients, DiGuisto adds, and then to increase the cohort to between 30 and 50 individuals.
Around 40 million people worldwide are infected with HIV and an estimated three million die each year with the virus. HIV attacks white blood cells known as T-lymphocytes, which play a central role in the immune system by fighting infection.
City of Hope is one of 40 National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Centers nationwide and a founding member of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network. An independent biomedical research, treatment and education institution, it is dedicated to the mission of conquering cancer, diabetes, HIV/AIDS and other life-threatening diseases. DDN

| 14.1°C Dublin
PRIESTS in Ireland were treated like imbeciles during a Vatican probe into the clerical child abuse crisis that rocked the country, it has been claimed.
Father Sean McDonagh criticised the investigation and maintained processes used by Rome when examining complaints about clergy were appalling.
The Columban Father, a founding member of the liberal Association of Catholic Priests (ACP), described the publishing of a seven-page summary of a report from the unprecedented Vatican probe - known as an apostolic visitation - as incompetent.
Four senior churchmen, cardinals and archbishops from England, America and Canada, were sent by Pope Benedict to examine child protection measures in archdiocese, seminaries and religious institutes across Ireland in response to the catalogue of abuse outlined in the shocking Murphy and Ryan reports.
Fr McDonagh revealed he asked one cardinal's aide if she would attend meetings with no agenda, where you were not sure what would happen to what was being said, and where there was no promise a report would be published.
"She said no," said Fr McDonagh.
"I said that's exactly where we are at. We are being treated like imbeciles, like children."
He maintained no organisation would tolerate how the report was not made available.
"It's incompetent and it makes us look ridiculous," he said.
The former missionary raised serious questions about the Pontiff going to Cuba and stating it would be good if there was more dialogue.
"What about the mirror and looking in your own," he added.
Fr McDonagh also hit out at the silencing of another ACP founding member, Fr Tony Flannery, after a complaint made its way to the "Vatican civil service" about his views on the Church's ban on artificial birth control and support for the ordination of women.
"One of the sad things about it is here is the Church of Jesus Christ that talks about freedom and dialogue and sharing and we still have at the centre of the Church processes which are appalling to say the least," he said.

When I got back I put it in the car and then I saw the big empty box sitting by the recycling bin.
Today I am grateful for my sister in law Rachel. As I looked at that box, I remembered how this summer she brought her kids over and we made spaceships out of out old moving boxes. She inspired me to be a more fun and hands on mom this morning.
I brought in the box and got out the markers and Noble and Harrison began decorating. Then Noble said, "thanks mom for letting us build a spaceship!"
Having my brother Stephen and his wife Rachel 10 minutes away is by far the best part of living in Texas. I am so grateful for them in so many ways. This morning I am particularly grateful for Rachel and how she inspires me to be a more hands on and fun mom by her example. Thanks Rach!

Today I checked out the "Jet Pack" demo at the Hiller Aviation museum in San Carlos, CA. They are hosting a two day exhibition, devoted to Jet pack and Rocket pack technologies. At the end of the thunderman.net lecture, I wasn't sure if it was a "Jet" pack or a "Rocket" pack that I saw, but seeing a man blast off a deck, fly around 50′ overhead and zoom back to land was thrilling.
There's more to it. The jet man doing the demo was sponsored by Go Fast, which is a company that produces highly caffeinated sports drinks. Go Fast has a stable of extreme sports athletes as their spokespeople. At the Q & A, the jet man seemed very…well, caffinated. He does so many flights, I was seriously wondering how long his renal function would be working.
The jet man was really just a hired gun to fly. An ex-stuntman turned Rocket pack operator. Knew nothing of the science behind his craft, but really knew how to fly it. The whole scene, with the big tractor trailer truck for "Go Fast" and the rock music and his Nascar looking outfit, struck me as a cross between a sideshow and a horse race, with the jet man halfway between a jockey and racehorse. Highly strung, physically fit, jittery, and farmed out to risk his life while his managers made the money.
Seeing him fly really was amazing, but at the Q&A, I really got uncomfortable. It was open to questions and I asked the jet man how he trained, what he did to restore his adrenal function after several flights in a row, and if he ever just got really tired and collapsed.
Unfortunately, all he heard was my asking as part of the preparation question if he took caffeine, and he used my entire question as a pitch for "Go Fast." He was in there though. He could rattle out the numbers and ratios and seconds he could fly at what speed for how much height and distance and how he could work out getting back. A savant almost about that stuff. Very narrowly focused. Like a racehorse.
The jet man looked like Skeletor. My friend pointed out that maybe he was thin to stay light so that he could go further on the fuel. (The current pack goes for 30 seconds.) I hope so. I felt very worried for him. He was doing what he loved, but there didn't seem to be any monitoring of his health or welfare or well being. Just put on the suit, put on the pack, fly the loop and 3 hours later do it again. It seemed that his vulnerability in so many ways was so visible, and yet, the guy was heroic for even trying it.
I'm not sure what to think of the whole thing. The jet pack flight was an awesome experience to witness, but the jet man got me wondering about what the human body is designed to do, and what it can withstand. Are we built to travel by jet pack?
For one thing, we weigh too much. The average person is not going to be able to strap on a 100+ pound pack. For another, even if we could strap on a pack and get airborne, our chances of a smooth flight without crashing into each other is highly limited. We can't even walk down a crowded street without running into one another. About as much adrenaline as I could take, was when I lived in Manhattan and walked home up 5th Avenue at rush hour. Adding a jet pack to that already loaded stressful feeling seems like a recipe for disaster–especially when its combined with hundreds of other people doing the same thing at the same time.
It seems that with every generation, we get closer to having the jet pack technology more refined and the proposed uses more real. The technology does evolve, but at the current 30 second flight, there is a long way to go.
The questions for me is: Will accelerated flying run the body into the ground?
Trend: Jet packs may be coming to an airfield near you, but its unlikely you'll see them in town. At the moment, the closest people will get to getting a boost when walking through Manhattan traffic will probably be from drinking "Go Fast."

I have decided I need to be distracted so for now we are leaving spazzy tongues and brain cysts and going down memory lane for a few strolls. Do you ever think back and wander what life would be like had you turned left instead of right? A time where you were faced with a choice or forced to take a certain path and the spin off effects keep rippling until your life is so very different from what it could be. Being a bit of a deep thinker, I clearly do and this year was also a major fork time in my life where it was going to change enormously and a whole different movie would have been choreographed and filmed.
We need the luxury and hind-site of time to make sense of the new direction and see why its the one we are on. Much of the new direction is our own choices but often its God or fate or simply circumstances nudging us in a whole new direction. I think my very first real fork happened when I was 16 and met a talent scout on the beach in Clifton. He was from an agency in Cape Town and would scout for new faces. (He was that guy in the Tex choc ad where he would shoot holes in the billboard, remember?) I was a little poppie from Durbanville who had been warned about just such men. Unfortunately for him he wore a white speedo. Sies! In my town men wore baggies, not white lycra speedos where I could see their whole ugly winky and ballas. (Yes I know I wasn't supposed to look but the speedo was very white and tight!) Like all sensible girls I politely took his business card but ignored him and never called the agency. Months later my friend decided to start modelling and went to that very same agency. It got me thinking that perhaps it was legit after all and I should give this a go. I went to see them and the 1st shoot was arranged. My mom came with and we got stuck in the lift in the parking lot. Nothing like spending a half hour in an enclosed space with complete strangers to fuel ones nerves. The shoot was soft and pretty with minimal make up. The photographer was Bruce Granville Mathews who later did really well and he was non pervy and a good intro.
The very 1st pic of me, just turned 16 and such a baby.

You know they are important but you probably don't have enough. I work with businesses that have been operating for more than 10 years, have a thriving community, but have 5 Google Reviews! Clients often say "but I have 65 Facebook Reviews!" So what? Facebook Reviews are nice but they are not heavily featured on the platform. People use Google to discover and find businesses and they read the reviews.
A lot of Salon Owners see REVIEWS as a PAIN not a TOOL!
You probably get reviews from the PISSED people not the happy people. You dread realizing you have another bad review. The trick is to outweigh the bad ones with good ones! People like your business. They will help you. I promise.
A Low Number of Reviews is a WARNING to Clients!
There are a lot of ways to get Reviews. You can just send an email asking for them but that takes a lot of your precious time and you have to remember to do it. Be honest. You won't remember.

RO-160mm bullet
Beautifully BlueThis big blue beauty would be an awesome addition to anyones toy collection. It looks, feels, and preforms amazingly and has quickly become one of my favorite bullets. The only issue I had with this oversized bullet is you have to screw the cap on REALLY tight to get things going and because of this until I figured that out I thought I had received a DOA toy. I was very pleased when I got it up and going though!
strong vibrations, waterproof, variety of settings
finicky battery compartment, not the quietest
This is definitely not your traditional bullet! When I got it I was surprised by its size and awed with its beauty. This is a really pretty and powerful bullet with a big size to it. The RO-160mm bullet can be used for clitoral stimulation, vaginal insertion and to stimulate any other parts of the body you would like but should not be used anally, as it does not have a flared base or any type of retrieval device making an unwanted disapearance a higher risk. This wonderful bullet could be used by beginners and more advanced users, alone or with a partner.
Material / Texture
The RO-160mm is made out a hard smooth plastic. The plastic is food-grade, hypo-allergenic, latex free, and Phthalates free. There is no taste to it but there is a slight plastic smell that isn't really noticable unless you have the bullet right under your sniffer. There isn't any texture to the toy except the B Rocks-Off logo and toy name on the side of the toy, which you can't feel internally at all. The bullet would be great for beginners and more advanced users alike but beginners should be advised this toy is girthy and the plastic has no flex to it at all.
Design / Shape / Size
The RO-160mm is similar to a girthy traditional vibrator. Size wise some beginners may not like this toy because it is so girthy. You could fit this in a bigger handbag but it isn't the most discreet toy and it definitely wouldn't fit in a smaller one. I like more girthy toys so I was very happy when I opened this beauty up and saw it and when I had time to play with it my "happy" got happier! I love the firm, smooth design and that it is a very filling toy with a lot of kick to it. It fits comfortably in my hand with my thumb resting over the control button on the top. The tip on this bullet is a bit pointy and you will want to keep that in mind when playing so you don't injure or bruise yourself from vigeruos thrusting. It measures: 6 3/4" in length, 5 1/4" insertable length, 4" in circumference, and 1/8" in diameter.
Functions / Performance / Controls
There are 3 vibration settings and 4 patterns settings to choose from when using the RO-160mm. The vibrations are nice and strong, located in the tip of the bullet but they carry throughout the whole toy nicely. They are buzzy vibrations and did leave my hand a bit tingly. The toy is a bit noisy and will be audible in the same room and someone could hear it through a closed door on the higher settings. There is one easy to use push button on the end of the toy that turns the toy off and on and is also used to cycle through the 7 vibration patterns. To turn the toy off you push down on this button for a few seconds and it stops. When turned back on the toy will start over at the beginning of the pattern choices. The control button is easy to push but I wouldn't say that it is so easy that you would have to worry about changing the setting from accidental bumps. The RO-160 is 100% waterproof so no worries during cleaning and you can take it along in the bath with you or anywhere wet you choose to use it. The end screws off giving you access to the battery compartment and there is a o rubber o ring to prevent water from getting inside the toy. When you first receive your toy you will have to remove the Isolation disk from the battery compartment to get the included batteries going. You will have to screw this cap on pretty tight to get it to turn on. Because of this until I figured it out I thought mine was broken when I got it. Thankfully this was not the case! It take 2 AA batteries to run the toy.
Care and Maintenance
The RO-160mm is a breeze to clean and maintain. Clean with warm soap and water or your favorite toy cleaner. It is waterproof so getting water inside isn't an issue when cleaning it. You can store it in the box it came in like I chose to do since and it won't take up a ton of room or you can store with the rest of your other toys with no worries since it's made out of plastic. Any prefered lube will work with this bullet.
The RO-160 mm comes in a nice sturdy box with clear section on the front showcasing this big blue beauty. Above the toy you see its name and below the B Rocks-Off logo in silver. Inside the toy rests in a plastic tray that has a B Rocks-Off design sticker on the top of the tray around where the toy sits. The plastic tray has two indentions along the sides of the toy so you can get a better grip with your fingers to get the toy out. I like that, because I hate having to ruin the plastic tray to get a toy out that just doesn't want to come out! The lid swings open on the side to give you access to your toy. When you get this bullet the box has a plastic sleeve around it holding the lid closed. Since i chose to store mine in the box it came in I kept this sleeve because without it the lid opens very easily if turned upside down and the toy along with the tray it sits in will slide right out. The back of the box has a sticker with a few features in different languages and a diagram showing to remove the battery isolation disc from inside battery compartment before use. This sticker can be peeled off easily if you wish. The package looks nice enough for a gift but since there is a clear cut-out in the front showing off the toy it isn't discreet at all, so everyone will know what it is.

Maybe your idea of fun is gathering 27 of your closest friends for a rambunctious dinner party complete with high-energy card games and music thumping in the background. Or perhaps you'd rather sit at home, in the peace and quiet of your lonesome, with a bowl of air-popped popcorn, a Jane Austen novel, and a cat at your feet.
Regardless of which scenario sounds ideal to you, science knows the truth that may unite introverts and extroverts once and for all: Everyone benefits from human connection. Although everyone may require different amounts of interaction, researchers have found a number of ways that socializing benefits physical and emotional health.
1. Socializing may improve your brain health.
One of the most studied aspects of social relationships is how it affects cognitive health in older adults. Cognitive decline is a somewhat normal part of aging in which memory, language, and thinking become less sharp. However, certain factors—like social relationships—can make the decline better or worse.
A 2017 study by researchers in Dublin, Ireland, assessed how access to social activities affected adults over the age of 50. Those who belonged to social communities, participated in social activities, and had support systems were found to have healthier cognitive function. In particular, they had better emotional regulation, processing speed, working memory, and verbal fluency.
Another perk of better brain health? A reduced risk of dementia. Since social interaction and community seems to reduce cognitive decline, researchers are curious how it affects dementia and Alzheimer's disease. One 2015 study from International Psychogeriatrics journal followed 1,715 adults over the age of 65 for 16 years, and those who had more visits with friends had a lower incidence of dementia.
2. Social relationships may boost mental health.
Even if you think you prefer your own company most of the time, chances are, too much time alone will start to backfire eventually. After all, social isolation has long been used as a form of torture for prisoners of war. A weekend alone may feel nice at first, but may soon transition into unnerving loneliness.
Human connection helps provide a sense of belonging and that you're supported and cared about, which is something that helps both extroverts and introverts thrive. When people feel supported, they tend to have better self-esteem and a greater sense of purpose, which may reduce the risk for depression and anxiety disorders.
What's more, your friendships and club meetings are likely to get you smiling and laughing. Research shows that laughter itself has proven health benefits as well, such as reducing stress and improving sleep quality.
Of course, this may go without saying, but this perk is only true for healthy social relationships. "Toxic" friendships or marriages may have the opposite effect: lowering self-esteem and increasing mental health disorders.
3. Positive social bonds may lead to a stronger immune system.
A boost to your immune system could stem from a number of factors. First of all, as #2 demonstrates, a healthy social life can help reduce stress. Chronic stress compromises hormone regulation in the body, and your hormones control a number of bodily processes.
In other words, chronic stress hurts your body in several ways, and one of those consequences is a weakened immune system.
But that's not all: The stress from having no or negative social relationships has been shown to contribute to poor health habits, such as alcohol abuse or a sedentary lifestyle. These habits may also weaken the immune system.
On the other hand, positive social bonds may *encourage* positive health habits (although not always, of course). Your social support system might provide you with running buddies, motivation to get out of bed and hike on a Saturday morning, and maintain basic hygiene. (Psst … Find out here if a doctor would approve of your hygiene habits.)
Even if you're an introvert, having a sense of community has major perks. You don't have to give up your "me time" to still get the benefits of socializing. Just find activities and groups for you, like structured book clubs, watching movies with friends, running groups, or art classes. And yes, you can still give yourself plenty of time to "recharge."

A day after authorities in Washington confirmed an autopsy shows blunt force trauma caused the death of a former aide to the Russian president, Russian officials say they've been requesting information about the probe without results.
Foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said in a Facebook post Friday that the Russian Embassy made multiple requests for information about the investigation into the death of Mikhail Lesin, Russian President Vladimir Putin's former press minister, and received no substantive material.
Lesin's body was found at the Doyle Dupont Circle Hotel in November.
District of Columbia police spokesman Officer Hugh Carew confirmed the autopsy results show the cause of Lesin's death was blunt force trauma to the head, but the manner of death was undetermined. Police continue to investigate Lesin's death, he said.
The D.C. Medical Examiner's Office said in a statement that other contributing causes were blunt force injuries of the neck, torso, arms and legs.
Zakharova wrote that "Russian authorities will send a request to the Americans for international legal assistance."
Russian media had reported that Lesin suffered a heart attack, citing relatives.
Lesin was a media adviser to Putin who helped found the English-language news service Russia Today.

Amidst the increasing buzz around green cars, and innovative green car designs gaining grounds, Taiwan is ready with the prototype of a solar powered car that could hit the markets soon. The car was featured at the World Solar Challenge 2007, weighs a mere 250 kg and can reach speeds of 70 km/hr. All this with no emissions, powered by the sun!
The vehicle's roof is fitted with satellite-grade solar cells that harvest sunlight to power the car. The car comes with lithium-polymer batteries which can keep the car running for 3 hrs after being charged. The parts of the car are made with Nomex honeycomb, a material known for its high strength, excellent impact, fire resistance, and light weight. The fiber was originally developed by Dupont Chemical for the aviation industry, and is widely used in aircraft and aerospace components.
The car is designed by the researchers at Taiwan's National Kaohsiung University of Applied Sciences. It is inspired by Apollo Solar Car, made by the Apollo Solar Car Team. The team was founded in 1998, and was the first solar car team in Taiwan. The team is headed by Professor Herchang Ay, and comprises mostly of engineering students.
The car ranked second out of more than 50 cars which competed at the Panasonic World Solar Challenge, Across Australia, Darwin to Adelaide. The car is expected to be launched this year and would come at a price tag of $25,000.

FRANKFURT (Reuters)
Three new representatives of the Porsche and Piech family will take seats on the supervisory board of Porsche Automobil Holding, the company said on Friday, handing responsibility for Volkswagen's oversight to a younger generation
Porsche Automobil Holding SE, which controls a 52.2 percent voting stake in Volkswagen, the world's largest carmaker, said its board of directors would be extended from six to 10 members, allowing some fourth-generation members of the clan to gain a seat.
Hans-Peter Porsche, a grandson of VW Beetle designer Ferdinand Porsche, will resign from the supervisory board, and hand control to Josef Michael Ahorner, Stefan Piëch and Peter Daniell Porsche, the company said.
Auto industry analyst Philippe Houchois from Jeffries said adding new blood could help spur change.
"We believe these changes are important as they clearly maintain a balance of influence among families and they are essential to Porsche SE establishing new leadership and, eventually we think, becoming an agent of change," he said.
Governance at Porsche and Volkswagen was for decades marked by an in-house rivalry between the two clans
Porsche Automobil Holding SE Chairman Wolfgang Porsche has worked to keep relations between the two families harmonious.
Of the new appointments, Ahorner is founder and chairman of the supervisory board of the marketing platform Emarsys AG while Stefan Piech, son of Hans Michel Piech, is director of media company Your Family Entertainment AG, Munich.
Peter Daniell Porsche is the owner of the holding company PDP Holding GmbH, Salzburg, the company said.
The fourth generation family members will sit on the Porsche Automobil Holding board alongside Wolfgang Porsche, Hans Michel Piech, Ferdinand Oliver Porsche and Hans-Peter Porsche.
Some clan members including Luise Kiesling, Hans Michel Piech, Ferdinand Oliver Porsche and Wolfgang Porsche also sit on the supervisory board of separately listed Volkswagen AG.

Osteoporosis Prevention and Management
In scoring your BMD test, your bone density is compared to two standards: "age matched" and "young normal." The age-matched reading (Z-score) compares your bone density to the "norm" for your age, sex and size. The young normal reading (T-score) compares your density to the average bone density of a healthy young adult woman.
Your reading will help your health care professional identify where you score within ranges of normal and to determine whether you are at risk for fracture. Generally, the lower your bone density, the higher your risk for fracture. However, your BMD score will be taken into account along with your personal health history, osteoporosis risks and lifestyle, including whether you exercise and are getting adequate calcium. By weighing all of these factors, your health care professional can determine if osteoporosis poses a significant threat for you in the years ahead.
Some tests for osteoporosis risk, such as those available at community health fairs, provide a starting point for assessing your bone health — but definitely require follow-up. If you have one of these types of tests, be sure to discuss the results with your health care professional, especially if your results indicate low bone density.
According to the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists' 2001 Medical Guidelines for Clinical Practice for the Prevention and Management of Postmenopausal Osteoporosis, the BMD test is recommended:
- for risk assessment in perimenopausal or postmenopausal women who have risk factors for fractures and are willing to consider available interventions. "Perimenopause" is a term applied to the several years preceding menopause.
- in women who have x-ray findings that suggest osteoporosis
- in women beginning or receiving long-term glucocorticoid therapy or other drugs associated with bone loss
- in all adult women with symptomatic hyperparathyroidism or other diseases or nutritional conditions associated with bone loss in whom evidence of bone loss would result in adjustment of management
- for establishing skeletal stability and monitoring therapeutic response in women receiving treatment for osteoporosis
- in all women 40 years old or older who have sustained a fracture
- in all women beyond 65 years of age
Medicare and many commercial insurers pay for BMD testing for individuals at risk or already suffering from osteoporosis.

For some reason, I feel the Bionic is going to disappoint. So much hype, people's ideas of it are very exaggerated I think.
I hope it doesn't disappoint, but just a feeling.
Isn't an advertisement supposed to show you something about the product? If I was looking for a good looking body guard with a sword, I would buy.
Yea I want to see something as good as or better than the droid x spots...
Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL using DroidForums
The Droid 1 and 2 had good commercials, this one is... well pathetic. Just saying.
This is a teaser... if anyone remember the teaser about the OG droid did not say much about the phone either.
My new phone personified is a chick?
They're hyping this phone up waaaaaaaaaaaaay too much. They're acting like this phone has a 1.5ghz dual core processor or some sort of other revolutionary feature(s).
But then again, what company wouldn't overhype their product? It's what profit-driven companies do.
My new phone personified is a chick?
Edit: At least I won't be touching a guy all day.
It's been a while since they really, really overhyped a product like they did with the D1. They probably have an surplus in the advertising division and figured they'd have some fun dancedroid
I think they need to hype this up if they plan on selling any. It's going to get some good competition from the SGS2 and the next gen iPhone.. I like the teaser, I hope they put some ad dollars to work and really promote this thing.
Luckily for us there was a bionic man and a bionic woman! :lifting:

How do I add accruals, deductions or different kinds of earnings (Payroll Instructions) to an input sheet?
If you need to add another classification of hours or a different kind of accrual to your input sheet the process is pretty simple. We refer to these instances as payroll instructions. For more info on payroll instructions click here.
1. On your input sheet (above the earnings, benefits, and deductions columns) you will see a box that says Add Payroll Instructions. Click here.
2. A new window will appear. In the left hand box there will be a list of possible payroll instructions to add to the input sheet. Highlight the payroll instruction you wish to add by clicking it. Click the arrow pointing to the right.
3. Click the button that says Add.
4. The input sheet will reload. Once it is reloaded you can enter it again and see that the new payroll instruction has been added. Well done!
