Q: Joe, I hate Amazon, and I hate their new Kindle Unlimited terms.
Joe sez: Opt out. It's voluntary.
Q: They're an evil monopoly.
Joe sez: They're neither. But if I felt that strongly about a company, I wouldn't work with them.
Q: But they're the only way to make money.
Joe sez: So, you hate the cow that gives you milk. I can't help you there. Try the serenity prayer. You know, the strength to accept the things you cannot change.
Q: These new KU terms are unfair.
Joe sez: Who said life was supposed to be fair, fun, or easy?
Q: Amazon is ruining my career.
Joe sez: My author rank has gone from #977 to #433 since the new changes began. I've done no promo, released no new titles. I'm simply being read the same pace as before, yet it now counts for more.
Q: That's not fair.
Joe sez: Can you point me to the blog post where I whined the old system--that paid a 10 page short story the same amount as a 400 page novel--was unfair?
Q: You never did that.
Joe sez: You can curse the darkness, or light a candle.
Q: But there is no change unless people complain.
Joe sez: I didn't complain. And yet, here is change.
Q: You're making more money now because you write novels.
Joe sez: First of all, I won't know if I'm making more or less money until I know how big the pot is for July, and what my percentage is. It's too early to start worrying.
Second, writing longer books isn't what is going to earn people money under this new system.
Q: If not length, then what?
Joe sez: Quality.
Under the old system, you got a full share if someone read 10% of your work. A 20 page work meant the reader had to get through 2 pages.
Anyone can get through 2 pages, even if the 2 pages are awful.
Now, we're being paid according to how much the reader is reading. Isn't a writer who is able to sustain a reader's suspension of disbelief for 100,000 words more deserving of being paid more than a writer who can't sustain a reader for 3 pages?
Q: So you're saying I'm making less money now because I suck?
Joe sez: I'm not saying anything. I'm looking at this logically.
Farmer A works 10 hours and plows 10 acres, feeding 10,000 people.
Farmer B works 1 hour and plows 1 acre, feeding 1000 people.
Should they be paid the same?
Q: I know I don't have enough data yet, but I think my income is shrinking!
Joe sez: That's too bad. I suggest you consider writing longer works. And make sure they're page turners.
Q: So now I have to write page turners!? I'm a serious literary novelist, not a genre hack like you.
Joe sez: An artist of your caliber should be looking into government and university grants. You shouldn't be toiling with the unwashed masses in the cesspool of popular consumer swill.
Q: That sounds sarcastic.
Joe sez: It is. Learn to hold a reader's attention, and you'll get paid. Spend 100 pages describing an unlikeable protagonist without introducing a whit of conflict, and I invite you to go fuck yourself.
Q: Art needs to be protected!
Joe sez: Here's a thought experiment from my friend, Barry. Pretend that, throughout history, writers have always been monetarily compensated for how many words the reader read. Imagine there has always been some counter in place that kept track of word counts, and writers got paid accordingly.
Then some upstart company came around and wanted to charge a flat fee for a book, no matter how long it was, no matter how much of it was actually read.
Doesn't that sound silly? Suddenly, authors could make money without a single word being read. They could be compensated for writing books no one ever finished. Why toil away perfecting craft, learning how to tell a compelling story, if a sale becomes more important than a read?
Amazon's new way of compensating authors not only makes sense, I contend it should have always been like this.
What kind of writer wouldn't want it to be?
Q: All I know is that I had a lot of short stories that were making good money, and now I don't think they will.
Joe sez: Which was a loophole. An unfair way to compensate authors. Did you complain that it was unfair when you were benefiting from this loophole?
For example, I think current copyright laws are unfair. And even though these laws benefit me, I want them to be reformed so I have fewer rights.
I understand defending things you benefit from. But we should all look closer at what we benefit from and ask if it is also good for others. For society. For the world.
The old Kindle Unlimited compensation structure wasn't balanced. This wasn't collectively good for writers or readers.
Q: How was it not good for readers?
Joe sez: If writers only had to hold a reader's attention for 10% of the work to get paid, where is the impetus to keep those readers hooked for the other 90%? Where is the impetus to make the story longer, and more entertaining?
The impetus, in fact, is to hook them for 10%, then quickly make them stop reading so they'll pick up something else.
In software terms, there is something called shovelware. It endorses cheap quantity over quality. No one likes shovelware. A hundred games that sort of amuse aren't as valuable as one game that enthralls.
Can you show me how the old KU system promoted quality better than this new system does?
Q: This new system punishes short story writers.
Joe sez: Bundle your stories together. Make it easy for readers to read them all at once. Or opt out. Amazon can't punish you if you aren't enrolled.
Q: You spent years on this blog, hating on legacy publishers. Why didn't you ever opt out?
Joe sez: I did. I got my rights back, at great personal and emotional cost.
Q: The early years of this blog read like love letters to your publishers.
Joe sez: During my early years of being published, I had no choice. I wanted to reach readers, legacy was the only way, so I took whatever I was offered. And I didn't whine about it. It was the only game in town, and I played that game as best I could. You don't shit where you eat, and you dance with the one who brought you to the party. Criticizing unconscionable contracts meant I'd never get another contract. So I played nice.
When an alternative--Amazon--presented itself, I burned all those legacy bridges. My criticism of legacy publishing is a warning for other authors.
Right now, there are alternatives to Amazon. If you hate Amazon like I hated legacy publishers, leave and burn that bridge.
But you don't actually have to burn it. You can opt out and opt in as often as you like, even while vilifying Amazon all over the net.
We've come a long way, baby.
Q: The only reason you're successful at self-publishing is because your legacy publishers gave you a fanbase.
Joe sez: I debunked this meme years ago.
Q:You're an Amazon apologist.
Joe sez: I'm a pragmatist. My current goals are aligned with Amazon's. Sometimes they do things I don't like. I try to adapt.
Q: I'm going to laugh when they cut everyone's royalties to 8%.
Joe sez: You mean they could possibly cut royalties to the same percentage that legacy publishers pay? Gasp!
Q: Amazon knew writers would hate this new format.
Joe sez: I think Amazon knows it can't do make any decision without scores of writers forming a dudgeon mob of righteously indignant social justice warriors. Welcome to outrage culture, where the slightest feeling of being wronged can stir up a shitstorm on Twitter and get the attention of major media outlets. Come and jump on the bandwagon, and don't worry if you haven't learned a lot about the issue and don't understand the little you have learned. It feels good to vent, doesn't it?
But, seriously, whining after the horse has left the barn is pretty lame. You made hay when it was sunny. It isn't sunny anymore. Move on.
Q: What's with all the platitudes?
Joe sez: It's funny how the older I get, the more old sayings seem to be applicable. A proverb is a short sentence based on a long experience.
Q: So how do we survive this awful situation?
Joe sez: Easy.
1. Write good books. Books that readers love. Books they recommend to others.
2. Experiment. Try new things. If you aren't failing, you aren't trying.
3. Innovate. Start your own ebook company. Certainly some of you have ideas. Go do something about it.
4. Share what you know. That's the point of life. Learning is only half the equation, you also have to pass it along so others can benefit.
If you don't like how the way things are, do it yourself, and do it better.
Now I'm going to go back to writing. I suggest you do the same.

Existing lock
Opened: 1940
Size: 60 feet wide, 360 feet long
Builder: TVA
Problem: "Concrete growth" is crumbling lock walls
Status: Operational for one barge at a time
The new lock
Estimated cost: $693 million
Spent so far: $183 million since work began in 2006
Builder: Army Corps of Engineers
Size: 110 feet wide, 600 feet long
Status: Could be completed in five years, once money is available
Two years after the money ran out on a new lock for the Chickamauga Dam, key components for the new and bigger lock are still being delivered for the Chattanooga project with funds from the 2009 federal stimulus package.
Barges recently delivered 126 precast concrete sections that will form the walls of the new Chickamauga lock, provided that Congress finds a way to find another $510 million to complete the stalled project.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the federal agency that is building the new lock, said the concrete sections will be disassembled for storage at a TVA site on Watts Bar lake. C. J. Mahan Construction Co., one of three major contractors awarded work as part of $52 million provided to the Chickamauga Lock from the federal stimulus bill, will soon complete its phase of the $693 million project, officials said Friday.
"When assembly of the approach wall beams is complete, they will be stored at Watts Bar and the Chickamauga Lock Replacement Project will be placed in a mothball status until funding becomes available to continue construction," Jason L. Foust, project engineer, said in a statement.
Resuming construction of the new lock may take a while since the cost of the lock project has grown along with the fiscal constraints on Corps inland waterway projects.
When the new lock at Chickamauga was originally designed a decade ago, it was projected to cost only about half the current estimate. But with funding delayed and material costs increased, the Corps has raised its completion estimate. Cost overruns on other Corps projects, combined with declining fuel tax collections during the Great Recession, have left the Corps' Inland Waterways Trust Fund without enough money to complete any of its projects other than the Olmsted dam and lock project on the Ohio River.
The existing Chickamauga Lock, which TVA built and opened in 1940, is suffering from "concrete growth" due to a chemical reaction in its rock aggregate with the river water. The crumbling lock walls in the existing lock chamber could render the lock unsafe within the next decade.
Jamie G. James, the project manager for the new Chickamauga Lock at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' district office in Nashville, said Friday that the new lock could be finished in five or six years -- once funded resumes for the project.
The value of having a lock at Chickamauga was demonstrated by the shipment of the very parts that will help shape the new and bigger lock. During January, barges carried 12,600 tons of precast concrete sections from where they were made in Melbourne, Ky., down along the Tennessee River through the Chickamauga Lock.
"This is an excellent example of the value of our navigable inland waterways in transporting heavy, bulky cargo," James said.
The Inland Waterways Trust Fund has not had any significant amount of funds to put toward the Chickamauga Lock in more than five years. The $787 billion stimulus package approved by Congress in early 2009 provided $52 million for the new Chickamauga Lock to keep the project moving ahead. Miter gates, culvert valves and culvert bulk heads, were fabricated in Birmingham, Ala., under another stimulus-funded contract. That equipment is now stored at another TVA facility in Muscle Shoals, Ala., awaiting funding for contractors to build the rest of the new lock.

product description
Palm oil production main process:
1. After transport the FFB to palm oil mill ,the fruits will go to stelizer by conveyor or palm fruit
2. After seperate palm fruits and palm bunch by thresher,Palm fruits will be conveyed to palm oil
pressers to get CPO.Palm bunch can be used as fetilizer or fuel.
3. After pressing,we can get palm cake and palm nut.Palm nuts will be conveyed to palm recovery
system to get palm kernels,fiber,palm shell.Palm cake will be conveyed to boiler roon as well.
4. After filtering,centrifuging,vacuum drying ,we can get crude palm oil (CPO),The CPO can be
sold directly or use for futher processing.
5. The sewage from all the plant will be processed by sewage treatment to reach discharge
standard.Sludge can be used for fertilizer in palm plantation.All the process cycle features with
short operation cyclye ,high automaticity,energy conservation and environment protection.
Reception of palm oil mill:
The FFB bunch be transported to plant by truck, after be weighted by weighting bridge,
the FFB will be loaded down to FFB Loading Ramp.
Sterilization of palm oil mill:
1.By Scraper Conveyor, FFB be transported to the top of sterilizing tank.
Falling into sterilizing tank from feed inlet.
2. Sterilizing tank: Adopt vertical type sterilizer, Welded up by Q235B material
(Chemical composition:C 0.12~0.2%,Si 0.12~0.3%,Mm 0.3~0.7%,P
3. After FFB be transported into sterilizing tank (202), close the inlet of sterilizing tank,
and open the vent valve behind the
tank, saturating steam, which pressure is 3bar and temperature is around 130. After
all cool air been discharged out,
close vent valve, proceed to sterilizing section. Sterilizing time is 55~120minutes.
4. The sterilizing time also should be depend on the kind and quality of FFB, if the
pressure is too high or the time is too long, palm fruit will be rot, also Resulting
in the loss of oil, high temperature can change palm color.
5. Finish sterilizing process, close the steam valve, open the valve lead to Blow-off/down
Silencer. Open the sterilizing tank door(FFB outlet) after discharges out all
steam and water.
6. Open the sterilizing tank door(outlet), sterilized FFB will fall on the FFB Scraper conveyor.
Be transported to next station.
Threshing of palm oil mill:
Separate the fruit from the bunch through strong vibrating.
1.The sterilized FFB will be transport to thresher platform by scraper conveyor.
2.We adopt advanced Drum type thresher, insider diameter is 1800mm, length is 5000mm.
The material of main shaft is #45 steel (main chemical composition is C0.42~0.50%, Si0.17~0.37%,
Mm0.50~0.30%, P0.035%, S0.035%, Cr0.25%, Ni0.25%, Cu0.025%).
3.Sterilized FFB be twisted and knocked in thresher. Palm fruit will be separated from empty bunch
totally, fall on Fruit Scraper conveyor though fence, the empty bunch will be transported to Bunch
Temporary tank by Bunch Scraper conveyor.
Digesting of palm mill:
Pressing station:
1. The palm fruit is transported to Crush tank by fruit elevator.
2.The fruit in crush tank will be heated to 90~95(by indirect steam), crush time is
10~20 minutes.
3.The pounded fruit flow into Palm fruit oil presse to press. Oil press cone can control
cylinder, working pressure is 50~70bar, revolving speed of presser main shaft is
12.5 r/min. Meanwhile the mixture of crude palm oil and water outflow from barrel
holes. Crude oil will be flow in Temporary Storage oil tank through crude oil groove.
Then oil will be pumped to Screening filter by oil pump. After filtering remove the oil
foam, deposit impurities. Palm oil flow into Passivating oil tank. The fiber cake and
nuts are exhausted from clearance of cone head drop on Breaking cake auger .
4. Palm fruit oil presser , the material of main shaft is 40Cr steel, (Chemical component:
C 0.37~0.44%,Si 0.17~0.37%,Mn 0.50~0.80%,Cr 0.80~1.10%) have been thermal refining,
the material of worm and cone head is 45# Cast-Steel, and the surface have quenching
Clarification of palm oil mill:
1. After removing the fiber and oil residue by Screening filter, palm crude oil flow
into Passivating oil tank.
2. The passivating oil tank will be inlet indirect steam and directly steam, after passivation
treatment palm oil and water mixture will be pumped to High level tank by Chemical
centrifugal pump, then flow into Clarifying tank stably.
3. There is steam pipe coil in clarifying tank, which can make water oil dilution ratio
stable, and separate water from mixture. And there is oil and sewage outlet, in case the
oil flowing will be short circuit, keep oil temperature around 100. After remove sludge
by filter, the water will return clarification tank to keep the water and oil ratio. The
waste water be discharged by another drain-pipe, which with special structure.
4. Clarified oil flow into storage oil tank from discharge hole of clarification tank , after
Disc-type separator remove moisture in the oil, then though Plate heat exchanger
heating to 105, remove residual moisture out from oil by Vacuum drier.
5. Vacuum degree of vacuum drying is achieved by Vacuum pump . The power of
vacuum pump is 5.5kw, adiabaticpressure is 23mmHg, the maximum capacity of
exhaust is 120m3/h.
6. The oil have been dried pumped to pure oil tank by Shielding pumps .
7. When the oil temperature in pure oil tank is about 50, oil will be pumped to produced
oil tank by gear oil pump.

Shandong Leader Machinery Co.,ltd. the crude oil is output by the oil feed pump from the Oil Fractionation Equipment oil tank, and next enters the crude oil heat exchanger to recover part of heat after metering and then is heated to the required temperature by the heater. After that, high efficiency and low consumption palm oil making machine/palnt/equipment the oil is mixed with the metered phosphoric acid or citric acid from phosphate tank in the gas mixture (M401), and high efficiency and low consumption palm oil making machine/palnt/equipment then enters the conditioning tank (R401) to make the non-hydratable phospholipids in oil change into the hydratable phospholipids. Shandong Leader Machinery Co.,ltd. Add the alkali for neutralization, and the alkali quantity and alkali solution concentration depend on the quality of the crude oil. Through the heater, Oil Fractionation Equipment the neutralized oil is heated to the temperature (90°C) suitable for centrifugal separation to remove the phospholipids, FFA and other impurities in the crude oil. Then the Oil Fractionation Equipment oil goes to the washing process.Oil Fractionation Equipment there is still about 500ppm soap in the neutralized oil from the separator. To remove the remaining soap, high efficiency and low consumption palm oil making machine/palnt/equipment add into the oil about 5~8% hot water, with water temperature 3~5 °C higher than the oil generally. To achieve more stable washing effect, add phosphoric acid or citric acid when washing. Shandong Leader Machinery Co.,ltd. The re-mixed oil and water in the mixer is heated to 90-95°C by the heater, and then enters the wash separator to separate the remaining soap and most water. The water with soap and oil enters high efficiency and low consumption palm oil making machine/palnt/equipment into oil separator to separate out oil in the water.

BANNER ELK, N.C. --- Keith 'Mister' Jennings has been named the Lees-McRae men's basketball assistant coach, announced the Vice President Director of Athletics and Club Sports Craig McPhail Friday.
"We continue to make great strides in turning around our men's basketball program and today is no different. To be able to hire Keith and watch his relationship with Coach Steve Hardin grow, will be fun for all," praised McPhail. "I am especially looking forward to the growth and development of our young men on our team as I see their progression reaching new heights."
Jennings is no stranger to success while playing in the National Basketball Association with the Golden State Warriors (1992-95) and the Denver Nuggets (1996-97). During his time at Golden State, Jennings was an assist machine while dishing out 614 while grabbing 248 rebounds. He shot 85.2% from the charity stripe and appeared in 164 games in three seasons. During the 1994-95 season, Jennings knocked down 75 three-pointers while amassing 589 points and turning in 1722 minutes.
He earned All-Star accolades on four occasions while playing European Professional Basketball. He led Brandt Hagen (Germany) to a playoff appearance in 1991 before garnering the three-point champion award and a second round playoff appearance with Estudiantes (Spain) during the 1995-96 season.
In 1999, Jennings was tabbed Player of the Year while playing for Le Man (France) and took his squad to the second round of the playoffs.
Prior to playing professionally, Jennings wrote his name in the record books at East Tennessee State University. He led the Buccaneers to three consecutive Southern Conference championships (1989-91), while earning the Southern Conference Player of the Year and Southern Conference Tournament Most Valuable Player award as a senior (1991). In 1991, he earned Second-Team All-American merits by the U.S. Basketball Writers Association and the Associated Press.
Jennings ranks fourth all-time in ETSU program scoring (1,988 points) and holds multiple records, including career totals for assists (983) and steals (334), single season records for assists per game (9.1) and steals per game (3.4), and single game marks for assists (19) and free throws made (18). Jennings was lights out from beyond the arc, owning a career 3-point field goal percentage of 49.3. His mark of 59 percent from 3-point-range led the country in 1991.
"Coach Jennings is a close and loyal friend and I am extremely excited to have him. We have talked about building a program together for some time and now we have the opportunity! Keith brings a wealth of basketball experience: his playing resume speaks for itself and is very knowledgeable about the game," said Hardin. "'Mister' is a valuable asset in all phases and embodies our FIRE program. I am extremely blessed to add Coach Jennings to the staff."
Following his playing career, Jennings has stayed close to home while being the head coach for the boy's varsity team at Highland School in Warrenton, Va. (2004-07) and the assistant coach at Science Hill High School in Johnson City, Tenn. (2008-09). Jennings returned to ETSU in 2008 as a graduate assistant coach.
Jennings wore multiple hats at Bluefield College (2009-14) in Bluefield, Va. while he was the head coach for the men's JV team and assistant coach to the varsity squad. The Rams won the Appalachian Athletic Conference Championship in 2009-10.
The Culpepper, Va., native has two kids, Keith Jr. and Kaycee.

bumGenius diapers started with a Cotton Babies one-size microfiber insert, when founder Jenn Labit designed a diaper around it. The company began very small, with $100 worth of product in a tiny green milk crate stored in a shelf in their kitchen. It grew from there to a bookshelf, then a closet, then a bedroom, then a basement, and, finally in 2005, the business expanded into a small commercial space. Now Cotton Babies employs many people in the St. Louis area shipping, retail, office, or in their homes sewing products. bumGenius production has changed as the company has grown.
bumGenius™ cloth diapers are designed to make cloth diapering easy for every-day people. We believe that cloth diapering should be as inexpensive and as easy as using disposables. Using bumGenius, it is!

Nationals capture GCL championship
Washington affiliate sweeps series to wrap dominating season
By Sam Dykstra / MiLB.com | September 1, 2013 3:10 PM
The Gulf Coast League Nationals got off to a fast start under the tutelage of first-year manager Patrick Anderson.
They were 7-1 when a postponement forced a doubleheader July 2. The GCL Marlins then no-hit the league's hottest team in the first game of the twinbill. That could have derailed the Nationals early in the young season. But they turned around and won the nightcap, 11-0.
"That was a really great moment for us," Anderson said. "We didn't freak out or anything. We just put it behind us and exploded in that second game. You could feel that was a turning point."
They never looked back, all the way to a Gulf Coast League title.
The Nationals defeated the Red Sox, 7-2, on Sunday to sweep the best-of-3 GCL Championship Series. The team won all three playoff games after going 49-9 in the regular season to complete the most dominating 2013 campaign in the Minor Leagues.
Their .845 winning percentage not only set a league record, but also bested the 1979 Paintsville Yankees' .800 number for the best percentage by a domestic-based short-season or Rookie-level club.
"These guys really embraced each other through the entire season and really worked and fed off what each other was doing," Anderson said. "But I won't sugarcoat it. We hit the ball well. We threw the ball well. We caught the ball well. It was great to see from start to finish."
The Nationals drew first blood in the third inning. Cleanup hitter Randy Encarnacion walked, moved to second on a wild pitch, advanced to third on a sacrifice bunt, and scored on another wild pitch by Red Sox starter Jalen Williams. Wilmer Difo and Garrett Gordon added RBI singles in the frame to give the visitors a 3-0 lead in the early going.
That was all the offense they would need on the afternoon thanks to starter Wander Suero. The 21-year-old right-hander, who was 8-1 with a 1.65 ERA in 13 regular-season appearances, allowed one run on one hit and three walks while striking out seven over five innings.
"We were really fortunate that we were able to set things up to get him out there," Anderson said. "You could always tell with his mentality, that he wouldn't be fazed by this game. They have a really nice facility here at JetBlue Park; it's a replica of Fenway. But he put in a real blue-collar effort today, really pounded the zone."
Heading into the seventh leading, 4-2, the Nationals, who scored eight times in the same frame Saturday, added insurance runs courtesy of a two-RBI double by Jose Marmolejos-Diaz and Encarnacion's single.
The heart of the lineup -- Osvaldo Abreu, Drew Ward, Encarnacion, Marmolejos-Diaz -- contributed seven of the team's 11 hits, five RBIs and five runs. That core had also helped lead the Nats to league highs in average (.281), OBP (.359), slugging (.374), OPS (.732) and runs (319) this season.
"It's a neat part of this team that everyone has a role, they know that role and they play up to it well," Anderson said. "Days like today and yesterday, they feed off each other, and look, we were very aggressive out there today."
Michael Sylvestri closed the door with two one-hit frames to seal the title.
"It was like every other scene for these things," Anderson joked. "I can't even put words to it. The way these guys come together over a long season, and for it to come together like this, it's great.
"These guys come from the Dominican, Venezuela, the U.S., Canada and everyone gets along. You see it in stretches. You see it on the bus. It's really a tribute to the scouting department and the character guys they've been able to get for this organization. It makes my job a lot easier."

Do we know if the Bohemia Glass label equates to Riedel or not?
On the link that Anik posted there's another link which takes me to this page: http://www.alibaba.com/product/cz118480475-114793700-102924108/Clear_Perfume_Bottle.html which states that the ones still being made by Jan Fucik in Prague are "Handmade in Czechoslovakia (original Riedel Moulds)." Do we know if the Bohemia Glass label equates to Riedel or not?
According to Marcus Newhall's "Sklo Union: Art Before Industry", that Skloexport label was used in the 70s and 80s.
I'm sorry, Anne... I don't think I understand your question. Are you asking if the Bohemia Glassexport label appeared on items from Jablonecke Sklarny?

PastPresentand_Future@20 Years
June of 2001 marked the 20th anniversary of the first official report that a deadly new illness was showing up in young men. All those initially reported were gay men suffering from a previously unseen form of severe immune deficiency. Dr. Michael Gottlieb, an immunologist at the University of California noted five such cases in his practice and reported them to the Centers for Disease Control. In subsequent weeks and months, the illness that was initially known as Gay-Related Immune Deficiency (GRID) and eventually called AIDS began to reveal itself in additional reports, particularly through the discovery of groups of men exhibiting an otherwise rare form of cancer known as Kaposi's sarcoma. Remembering this unhappy occasion is a difficult task at best, one fraught with the risk of hurt feelings, sad memories, or charges of inadequate attention to one or another of the communities affected by the disease. Past, present and future seems like a reasonable perspective for viewing the epidemic, as each has its share of calamities and triumphs and taken together, covers all people with HIV.
The Past
No honest story of AIDS can be told without first recognizing and honoring the generation of people who fought so hard to build the organizations, tools, and the scientific and political support we all but take for granted today as the framework for confronting the epidemic. The gay, lesbian and transgender communities and their heterosexual supporters should forever be acknowledged for their immediate, aggressive and humanitarian response to AIDS. Years before government was ready to accept its rightful role, these communities were caring for the sick, fighting for treatment and research and making remarkable changes in personal and organizational behavior to curb the risk of AIDS. Their efforts and accomplishments are without precedent in modern medical history.
In this issue, Project Inform reprints, as a memorial, the names of the many deceased who have worked with us, either directly or in spirit, since 1985 to better the lives of people with HIV and hasten the end of the epidemic. Most were honored in earlier issues of PI Perspective, but for many, that was a long time ago. We fully recognize that any such list of names will be incomplete and that it may bring renewed sorrow to some. We also believe it will bring joy and honor to others, especially the friends, lovers and families of those we have lost. We wish to say to them: your loved ones are not forgotten, nor will the world ever forget the contributions they made.
Many of those listed worked with Project Inform, either as staff, board or volunteers. Others are activists with whom we had the honor of collaborating. Many left their marks permanently on Project Inform and other organizations. Some are people whose work we respected, even though we didn't have the chance for direct collaboration.
Given the space, we would love to tell each of their stories and what they did. Suffice it to say that they were people who answered the hotline calls, sent out packets of treatment information, performed office duties, demonstrated in the streets, worked without pay at Project Inform, raised money, served on the board, worked with us on activist issues, organized and provoked scientists to think in different ways, fought for sane public policies and learned the science of AIDS and how to deal with drug companies. Above all else, they were people who cared for each other and the communities of people living with HIV who they served.
Today's more recently infected people may not recognize the names, but they should know that without the efforts of these and others who came before them, the nationwide infrastructure of AIDS care, prevention and treatment education would not exist. Whatever weakness and failings exist in the current structures, they do provide structures to build and improve upon. Those who have passed on have left a legacy that can guide us all in the future as the epidemic cuts it way through new groups here and around the world.
If there is a single message from the past 20 years experience, it is the need for personal and community empowerment. Where once empowerment was primarily the domain of gay men with HIV, today it is becoming the domain of women, people of color and all those more recently afflicted by HIV. There are no solutions except the ones we make for ourselves. AIDS treatment, support and care will not be delivered on a platter to anyone. We must demand it as a fundamental human right. We must educate ourselves because only by knowing as much or more than the bureaucracies can we influence government and institutional policies. We must learn enough of the science of AIDS to make wise treatment decisions, rather than putting those choices in the hands of others. We must know the benefits and the limitations of treatment and the systems through which treatment and care are delivered in order to be mobilized to fight for better solutions. And we must better understand the world if we are to help combat the devastation of AIDS in developing countries.
The Present
Nothing better describes the current state of the epidemic than "a job half done." While so much has been accomplished, we still lack the ability to truly save lives. At best, today's treatment and care programs offer a respite in the fight against AIDS, a time in which the virus is not gone but at least beaten into temporary submission. But the price for this, in both dollars and quality of life, is high, too high. It is still too early to know how long people will be able to live with the current drugs. For some, it is but a matter of a few years before drug side effects and viral resistance begin to outweigh the benefits. For others it has been nearly seven years since potent triple-drug therapy became available and shifted the balance in the battle between virus and immune system. The lucky ones are still doing well and experiencing only minor side effects.
It is increasingly clear that most people will not be able to stay on treatment for the rest of their lives. Between cumulative drug resistance, long-term side effects and simple weariness with the demands of the various regimens, it is almost naive to expect people to be able to succeed for periods of 20 to 50 years or more. But that's what it will take to allow people to live a normal life span despite HIV.
Yet even this limited success is not met with equal political success. In several states, people still must wait on long lists before getting access to protease inhibitors and other new potent drugs. Making matters worse, the current Administration is proposing flat funding for the Ryan White Care Act and the AIDS Drug Assistance Program. Since the number of people being served by these programs is increasing, flat funding is in fact reduced funding. Not surprisingly, issues of international access to treatment and care remain almost completely unresolved (see more about this issue in "The Future" in this article).
In theory, better drugs are coming, but their reality seldom equals their pre-FDA approval promises. Even more worrisome is that a variety of economic and social factors are rapidly making HIV/AIDS a less than attractive target for the pharmaceutical industry. AIDS activists may debate the extent of this problem, or its possible causes, but not its reality. Two companies, Pharmacia & Upjohn and Dupont Pharmaceuticals have already sold off their HIV product lines. Several others quietly ended their HIV research projects after protease inhibitors were first approved. Another major firm has narrowed its HIV research program and will only continue with one or two drug candidates already in development, forgoing any investment in new approaches or viral targets. Still others have shifted their interest to vaccine work. More worrisome, from the companies' point of view, is that few of the recently approved drugs have been successful in the market place. Some argue that, despite their improvements over current therapy, new drugs will have a rough time facing off against the 15 better-known drugs already available unless they offer clear-cut advantages.
A number of small companies have AIDS drugs in development, but history has shown us that such companies rarely are able to bring a product to market without entering into a partnership with one of the major companies. The major pharmaceutical firms are now much less inclined to take the financial risks associated with truly new product development, leaving that task instead to smaller start-up companies. At the same time, venture capital has dried up for funding high-risk AIDS drug development at such companies. Even if a small company discovers an important new concept, it must then enter into a licensing agreement with a company large enough to complete the task of development. With fewer such major companies interested in AIDS, new products will increasingly end up in the hands of the same few companies that now have large portfolios of HIV drugs, such as Glaxo SmithKline and Bristol-Myers Squibb.
Thus, the present (and future) situation is that the pipeline of new drugs is relatively empty beyond the next few years, while more and more drugs are becoming concentrated in the hands of fewer companies, a dangerous trend for many reasons. This places even more power over pricing in the hands of the remaining companies and greater dependence upon them for future advances -- a poor negotiating position to be in.
Activism surely has its work cut out for itself.
The Future
For many, the future of AIDS is seen primarily as an issue facing the developing world, particularly such places as Africa, the Caribbean, India, Asia, Central and South America, and in some cases, Eastern Europe. Countries on these continents have varying levels of medical infrastructure to make treatment feasible, and few if any have the economic ability to deliver care and treatment to all who need it. In some African countries, there is great governmental uncertainty and ambivalence about how best to deal with AIDS. After winning great reductions in the price of drugs, as well as the rights to independent production, South Africa still announces on an almost weekly basis that it has no intention of providing anti-HIV drugs to its citizens. It can no longer honestly blame the problem solely on the drug companies. Fortunately, at least some employers have clearer vision than the government and can see the economic ruin that will ensue without treatment. They are thus establishing contractual relations that will allow them to provide treatment to their employees as needed.
There is no single solution to the problem of AIDS in the developing world because "the developing world" is not a single place with uniform needs. Each country presents its own mix of challenges and opportunities. Nonetheless, the work of activists to achieve dramatically discounted drug prices and to permit generic production is a critical place to start. Without this victory, the rest of the debate would be moot, since many of the countries involved spend only a few dollars per person each year on health care. But even at greatly reduced prices, even at the cheapest generic prices, treatment still is not feasible without financial assistance from the developed nations.
Historically, we have also learned that drugs alone do not solve the problem of infectious disease in impoverished nations. Effective treatments for malaria and tuberculosis, for example, have been available at reasonable prices for decades in many countries, yet millions still die annually from these diseases. If we have learned anything from the past, it is that making public health advances in the developing world requires a long-term, worldwide commitment to comprehensive healthcare solutions. Yes, drugs will be needed, but so will supportive care, diagnostics, side effect management, clean water, sanitation and basic nutrition. We can either wring our hands in despair at the overwhelming level of need or we can acknowledge the complexity of the problem and begin collaborating worldwide to take on the challenge.
Unfortunately, the very success of people working on individual parts of the problem sometimes has the effect of setting off conflicts with those working on other parts. Great debates have raged in the last year over whether funding should be spent on treatment, vaccines, prevention or care. Each issue is supported by its own network of non-governmental and academic organizations, many of which are all too quick to feel threatened by attention being given to other parts of the problem.
To date, international AIDS activism has achieved some great successes, particularly in the area of drug pricing and production. But what is still lacking is a place or setting where the various needs can be discussed and addressed in the context of the whole problem. Neither pills, nor words of prevention, nor addressing poverty and malnutrition alone will ever solve the developing world's problems with HIV and AIDS. Somewhere, somehow, all these concerns and interests must all go on the same table and priorities and sequencing must be set.
The "table" of players needed to effectively address AIDS in developing nations must include the United Nations, the heads of the world's richer nations, the governments and NGOs of affected nations, interested and involved activist organizations, international relief agencies and major sources of private funding. Several of these groups have met separately to discuss the problem, but they have yet to all come together at the same time. The heads of African nations, for example, have met to discuss AIDS, as have the leaders of the eight largest economic powers. But they have yet to meet together or on an on-going basis. Until a forum is found to bring all the players together on a routine basis, efforts to solve this problem, perhaps the worst problem in human history, will continue to be spotty and incomplete. No single meeting or conference is sufficient for solving the worlds greatest problem. If world economics warrant the routine gathering of the heads of nations, so too must AIDS. If the world cannot find the resources and compassion needed to come together over this problem, then the future looks dark indeed. It is a test of our maturity as a civilization. So far, we are failing that test.
Yet, however critical such matters may be, it would be wrong to suggest that the future is only about AIDS in developing nations. HIV and AIDS are again on the rise in urban settings in the US, and there is little reason to expect anything to the contrary in Europe, Canada and Australia. Our own prevention and education efforts are no longer sufficient, much like our drugs. If we fail to meet the standard of continual improvement in education, care and research, AIDS will once again gain the upper hand even in the richest of nations.
One major shift in thinking in AIDS research which warrants the support of activists and scientists everywhere is the increasing trend to address HIV as a disease of the immune system, rather than just as a target for anti-HIV drugs. Recent experience may already tell us the limits of anti-HIV therapy are clear: we can almost completely suppress viral replication and it helps a great deal but it cannot eliminate the virus, and it only works with continuous use. Whether people can tolerate continuous lifetime use of powerful antiviral therapy is another story. Some scientists believe that the longer people remain on anti-HIV therapy, the more dependent they become on it for controlling the virus. A more fruitful strategy may be to seek to redirect and strengthen the immune system's response against HIV, while reducing dependence on drugs. This means a shift in thinking that places more emphasis on the immune response. We already see the first stages of this today in research on the use of interleukin-2 (IL-2, Proleukin) and interest in new, more powerful generation of therapeutic vaccines. Yet such interests have the attention of only a small number of researchers, while most remain devoted solely to the pursuit of anti-HIV drugs. Surely, this must change.
Similarly, increasing attention must be given to the pursuit of a truly effective vaccine. Great progress in vaccine funding and research has occurred in recent years and the trend is clearly in the right direction. But many pitfalls may still lie ahead. Most dangerous is the possibility that strong public, political and financial interest in a vaccine may rush a product into use that is neither safe nor very effective. A real vaccine is critically needed, but we must have medical discipline to support one only when the data truly warrant it.
Moreover, we must not forget that treatment and care in developing nations will at best be only as good as what we can offer in the developed world. Currently and for the near future, that is a relatively weak standard, made up of complex treatment regimens that almost certainly fail over time and which demand an excessive cost in terms of side effects. Thus, while taking on the needs of poorer nations, at least some of the energy of activists and political workers must continue to focus on improving treatment, care and prevention in the western nations. We must continue to improve the efficiency of our scientific discovery, our regulatory (FDA) process, and the drug discovery and development efforts of academia and industry. If we fail to first meet these challenges at home, we have little of value to offer developing nations. What good are treatments for Africa and Asia if they ultimately fail those who use them, yet add complexity and toxic side effects to their lives?
Whether our individual focus is on improving AIDS treatment and care at home, improving the equity of access throughout the US, or bringing relief of suffering to developing nations, we are all working on the same thing, fighting for the same goals. In many ways, the hardest work of AIDS activism lies yet ahead of us.
In the spirit of so many who gave their energy in the battles and activism of the 1980s and 1990s, let us all commit to a renewed war on AIDS around the globe in this first decade of the new millennium. Let's hope that day will someday come when someone gets the privilege of writing about the last five cases of AIDS seen on this planet. Such a day will only come if we continue the fight today, each in our own way. For some, this means pushing the frontiers of science to find the cure that will someday surely be found. For others, it means waging war with the tools of public health, honed in previous battles. And for still others, it means confronting the HIV-associated demons of racism, poverty, hunger and social injustice wherever they appear. If we can do all this together, each with respect for the other, surely no disease -- social or biological -- can stand for long.

Welcome to Theresa's Pet Walk Page!!
I'm walking to help homeless animals in Tampa Bay find their "furever" home!
SPCA Tampa Bay is the only non-profit, open-admission animal shelter and public veterinary center in Pinellas County. Our shelter in Largo cares for more than 8,000 animals annually that have been surrendered by their owners, along with injured wildlife. Animals receive immunizations, medical care, behavior training and enrichment, and loving care while they live at our shelter. Our adoptions volunteers work to match families with animals that are a good fit with the family's home, lifestyle and personalities. There is no time limit for an animal's stay at our shelter, and every animal receives compassionate care, regardless of its breed or size.
Won't you please give to help animals in need?

Mark Sanchez was the only Jets quarterback wearing a headband on Thursday, but he wasn't the only one talking to the media.
David Garrard also took a turn in front of the microphones and cameras to talk about the quarterback competition set to unfold over the next few months. After saying he believed he still has the ability to be a starting quarterback after not playing in a regular season game since the 2010 season, Garrard went on to say that he was too old for any drama to the competition beyond just letting the best man win.
"It shouldn't be any politics," Garrard said, via Mike Vorkunov of the Newark Star-Ledger. "It should be the best guy playing. With that, if I'm going at it and I'm giving you my all and I'm healthy and you beat me at it, then that's great for the team. Fortunately I'm so old I don't care about politics anymore."
With Sanchez still on the team because he's owed a guaranteed salary of $8.25 million this season and Geno Smith arriving as a second-round pick, it might be wishful thinking to think that on-field play will be the only thing that determines who wins the competition. That might not wind up being a bad thing for Garrard, though.
Should the Jets decide that Smith isn't ready and that they'd rather not chance encouraging the wrath of their fans by keeping Sanchez for another year, Garrard could wind up being the choice for the job. We're guessing that Garrard would still accept the job under those circumstances even if he wasn't the best guy on the field throughout training camp.

HILLSBORO, Ore., Sept. 10, 2012 – SolarWorld, the largest U.S. solar manufacturer for more than 35 years, will debut its 270-watt-peak Sunmodule solar panel this week at the trade show Solar Power International (SPI) in Orlando, Fla. Made in America, at SolarWorld's headquarters manufacturing plant in Hillsboro, the 270-watt mono-crystalline solar panel taps advanced light-capture and energy-conversion technologies to achieve industry-leading power density in a 60-cell format.
"The 270-watt Sunmodule solar panel is the result of our steady investment of time, money and human ingenuity in research, development and capital upgrades, both in Oregon and Europe, and further elevates SolarWorld as a global solar-technology leader," said Gordon Brinser, president of SolarWorld Industries America Inc. "With its innovative use of new technologies and production-process breakthroughs, our 270-watt module securely positions SolarWorld at the forefront of performance."
The light-capture and energy-conversion technology platforms underlying SolarWorld's 270-watt solar panel combine numerous advances in materials, process and design to achieve the industry's highest levels of energy output. These advances include using more advanced technology on the front of the cell to convert more light into electricity, modifying the back of the cell to increase electrical conductivity and adding anti-reflective glass coatings that transmit more light while withstanding environmental degradation. Deploying these technology platforms, SolarWorld has boosted its power density from 250-watt-peak to 270-watt-peak in less than 12 months. The 270-watt Sunmodule, along with a 265-watt product, will debut this week at SPI for purchase beginning, respectively, in December and October.
"SolarWorld is among the first manufacturers to bring 60-cell solar panels to market at these power densities," said Kevin Kilkelly, president of SolarWorld Americas, the company's commercial arm. "Other manufacturers who promote a 270-watt module have done so in a 72-cell configuration, which requires more mounting hardware, area and labor and can increase the total cost of a solar installation."
The 270-watt and 265-watt Sunmodule solar panels come with the same high quality, performance and reliability that customers have come to expect from SolarWorld, including a 25-year linear warranty and 10-year product workmanship warranty, both consumer protections which the company pioneered. The new solar panels feature a versatile frame accommodating both top-down and bottom-up mounting, eight possible grounding locations and extended cable lengths for easier installation.
The 270-watt and 265-watt solar panels will be on display at SolarWorld's booth, No. 1301, in Hall A of the Orange County Convention Center's West Building.

SolarWorld manufactures and sells solar power solutions and in doing so contributes to a cleaner energy supply worldwide. As the largest solar producer in the United States and Europe, SolarWorld employs about 3,200 people and carries out production in Hillsboro, Ore., and Freiberg and Arnstadt, Germany. From the raw material silicon to solar wafers, cells and panels, SolarWorld manages all stages of production ‒ including its own research and development. The company maintains high social standards at all locations across the globe and is committed to resource- and energy-efficient production. Headquartered in Bonn, Germany, SolarWorld was founded in 1998 and has been publicly traded on the stock market since 1999. For more information, visit www.solarworld-usa.com.

There are some people saying Mitt Romney's statement that he's "not concerned about the very poor" has been taken out of context and does not represent his campaign overall.
The Daily Show host Jon Stewart is not one of those people.
Stewart ridiculed Romney on last night's show for dismissing the very rich and the very poor as groups he doesn't worry about since they are already taken care of (the poor with a net of social programs). Romney defended himself by saying he was trying to emphasize his focus on the middle class.
"You know, the reason the net is there is that they are not OK," Stewart said. "It's like a doctor going, 'I'm not concerned about the very healthy, because they're doing fine or the very sick because, you know, morphine.'"

All of us love seeing classic cars still on the road. There is something that stirs inside us to see some former legend of days before still prowling the streets. Many of us would love to have more than one of these beasts in their garage. But how many is too many? Some of us have the means to restore one or two. 50? Seems incredible but it is possible. Only time is the limiting factor. For these cars it seems time has run out.
I recently got the courage to talk to the owner of this junkyard. I thought it was a junkyard until the moment he told me he is restoring these cars. I had to hold my poker face. Because in the 10 years I have lived here, none of those cars have moved. I would know. Passing by every week or so, I have memorized what is where. That Porsche, the Fairladies, the Skylines. None have seen a wrench in the time I have known them.
The state of the building is also quite the sight. There is a flatbed truck with scaffolding on the bed. That scaffolding is holding the building up. Many corrugated sheets bang loudly with the wind. The building is beyond condemned. Stuffed full of rusting auto parts and shells.
This is not a restoration shop or a junkyard. It is a tomb. A very sad one because of the way these legends are rotting away in front of our eyes.
There is also an overflow lot that has many wrecked and rusting cars. A few look restorable to my amateur eyes. A few were never before seen by me. Especially the mini Subarus.
My Japanese isn't great. I did inquire about if these cars and parts were for sale. His answer was vague. It never seemed to me that he had any interest in selling anything. I will be gutted when the building finally collapses on these treasures.
