Offline mode for SimCity took 6 months of re-engineering says EA
Many PC gamers will remember EA crying out that building an offline mode for SimCity would be impossible however yesterday's announcement of a new offline mode coming with Update 10 proved that very wrong.
Lead engineer at Maxis Emeryville, Simon Fox has given a bit of insight into exactly why they made that claim last year after the game's disastrous launch in a new post on the SimCity blog about building the upcoming offline mode. He also revealed that it has taken them over six months to re-engineer the game so that an offline mode would work.
Fox began, "The original creative vision for SimCity was to make a game where every action had an effect on other cities in your region. As such, we engineered the game to meet this vision, setting up the player's PC (client) to communicate all of its information to the servers."
"That means that our entire architecture was written to support this, from the way that the simulation works to the way that you communicate across a region of cities," he continued. "So yes, while someone was able to remove the 'time check' shortly after launch, they were unable to perform key actions like communicating with other cities that they had created locally, or with the rest of their region(s), or even saving the current state of their cities."
"My team did, however, see a path forward towards Offline, one that would maintain the integrity of the simulation," Fox added. "Lucy once said that Offline wouldn't be possible 'without a significant amount of engineering work,' and she's right. By the time we're finished we will have spent over six and a half months working to write and rewrite core parts of the game to get this to work. Even things that seem trivial, like the way that cities are saved and loaded, had to be completely reworked in order to make this feature function correctly."
Maxis is currently putting the finishing touches to Update 10 which includes the new offline mode and begins to open up the game to modding. They'll begin testing the mod very shortly with the aim of releasing the update as soon as is humanly possible.
Thanks Kotaku.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) - The man charged with attempted murder
in the shooting of Jacksonville Jaguars offensive lineman Richard
Collier is scheduled to appear in court.
Tyrone Hartsfield's arraignment is scheduled for Monday morning
in Duval County, Florida, Circuit Court.
Collier, a former standout at Valdosta State, was shot 14 times on Sept. 2 and is paralyzed from the waist down. His left leg had to be amputated. He was released from the hospital last month.
Police have said Hartsfield wanted revenge after he and Collier fought in April outside a nightclub.
The team has paid tribute to Collier by keeping his locker intact in the area shared by offensive linemen.

Poll: Stop taking so long writing! Get into writing, NAOW! Well, what story? Vote Now!
Author has written 13 stories for Beyblade, and Chrono Crusade.
Greetings people.
So, I thought I'd make a smaller update which fitted more to the stories I am working on at the moment. Some stories have been deleted, as I know I would never get around to continue these stories, and other stories deleted were completed but I simply couldn't stand them C:
Other Accounts by me:
And wherever else you find an account by the name "MariamTiarko"
Completed stories:
Reunited: Multi-chaptered. Kai/ Rei. After twelve years of thinking his parents are dead, Kai finally get to see his parents again. However, the reunion isn't as pleased as it could be with Kai and Rei's fathers fighting each other and Voltaire and Boris having not too pleasant plans in hand.
Chrno Crusade:
White Devils: Four-shot. An OC is in this four-shot. Both Chrno and Aion gets to reflect on their past and feels the sorrow and grieve on the day they lost someone dear to them.
Silence: One-Shot. Event happening between Duffau and Aion, before Aion decided to take Pandeamonium's head and was known as the Leader of the Sinners
When You're Gone: One-shot. Ever thought about what Genai's reaction was when he heard about Rizelle's death? Then read this one-shot.
Not Your Cookie: One-shot. Something short and random and pure crack.
The Final Battle: One-shot. It's put as a prequel to the story This Is Hell. It goes by the end of the manga, where we see the final battle between Chrno and Aion with a slight unexpected twist.
Searching Comfort: One-shot. This happens within the time of Magdalene and the Sinners, and it indicates ViedexMary, after having a smaller argument happen between Chrno and Mary.
Picking Up the Drunkard: One-shot. Happens several years after the end of the manga where Chrno and Aion runs into each other once again. This happens on a bar with Chrno having drunk all too much and Aion dragging him home so Chrno doesn't go off to hurt himself somewhere.
He Was So Calm: One-shot. It centers around 1870 with the period of Magdalene, from the moment she came to the Sinners to her time of death. It only puts in small flashes from time to time so it's nothing long. It gives small hints of ViedexMary but nothing big.
Heat: One-shot. Sequel to Picking Up the Drunkard. Chrno has caught a certain scent on Aion, which has put him in a heavy pranking-mood.
You Are A Demon: Takes place after the manga; Chrno gave his life for Rosette to survive, in the process turning her into a demon and getting a severe case of amnesia, leaving it up to Aion to train Rosette and help regain her memories. Multi-Chaptered.
In-Progress Stories:
Chrno Crusade:
Control of the Demons: An AU story. Aion and Chrno are abducted by Angels at a young age and are forced apart to work for wealthy Angel families. They grow up and get close bonds to girls of those families which only can bring trouble as Demons are clearly looked down upon by Angels. Multi-Chaptered. HIATUS.
This is Hell: Takes place after the manga; Rosette, Mary and the Sinners goes to Hell after their deaths, where they travel across the Depths of Hell in order to find a way to get back to life. Multi-Chaptered. HIATUS. Consideration of getting deleted.
Sinner Brothers: A crossover between Beyblade & Chrno Crusade. Takes place in the present where Rei turns out to not be human, but a demon and is labeled as one of the Sinners and now the Pursuers are out to get his head so the last Sinner can be gone. Though, Rei is not quite the last Sinner anyway... Multi-chaptered. Currently the one receiving writing focus. Unfortunately updates are still far-between.
Upcoming Fics:

DelightfulI have pretty much always been a menthol smoker, but I decided to try this flavor on a whim and I am so glad I did. It is one of my favorite flavors so far, if not my most favorite. It has a nice subtle peach flavor to it. Others have said that they can taste the menthol in it, or that it has a "cool" finish, however, as a main menthol smoker, I find it hard to taste much, if any, menthol in this flavor, but that might just be me. Suffice to say, this will be on my list of flavors to order on a regular basis now.
Love it!I actually did not like this at first. It had a perfumey or odd taste. After steeping though I love this juice. It has a great peach flavor and a nice throat hit. A daily vape for me!
FantasticThis is a great vape. This has just the right blend of peach and menthol. It is one of my new favorites
Enjoyed ImmenselyJust started vaping in Aug 2013 and started with just menthol - I am now trying all kinds of flavors and Peach Breeze has ranked as highest on my list :) Thank you!!
A Really Good VapeThis is the perfect blend of peach and menthol. It has a great peach flavor with just enough menthol to give a good throat hit.

All Rise...
Judge David Johnson chugs maple syrup like a fiend.
Editor's Note
Our review of Super Troopers, published July 31st, 2002, is also available.
The Charge
Opening Statement
Broken Lizard's breakout comedy receives a solid Blu-ray release. Grab your maple syrup and start chugging.
Facts of the Case
Somewhere on the border of Vermont and Canada is a state trooper station housing the biggest idiot cops the world has ever seen. Led by Captain O'Hagan (Brian Cox, The Bourne Supremacy), these troopers pass away the time playing pranks on hapless speeding victims, covering each other in shaving cream, testing out ammo bullet-proof underwear and, most importantly, desperately trying to avoid unemployment.
Their station is targeted for closure and with the overbearing local cops doing everything they can to ensure that happens, it will take a record-breaking pot bust, the revelation of a conspiracy and a bear-humping incident to prevent the Super Troopers from knocking back syrup shots in the unemployment line.
The Evidence
I've seen three Broken Lizard movies—Puddle Cruiser, Club Dread and this—and Super Troopers is by far the best. In fact, I didn't really like anything else the troupe has done aside from this movie, so I guess it's fair to say I'm not a committed Broken Lizard fan. But I'm down with the adventures of O'Hagan and his band of delinquents.
A well above-average comedy, Super Troopers sports an impressive hit-to-miss joke ratio. There's a lot of stupid stuff, sure, and a fair amount of the gags flatline, but the laugh-out-loud moments are there. The Afghanistanimation, the meow game, the entire opening sequence, Jay Chandrasekhar's mistaken ethnicity, anything with Farva—all good stuff. The Broken Lizard guys are all charismatic in their roles, and surprisingly fearless, willing to endure all manner of public humiliation to get a laugh. I can respect that.
But then again, you probably know that already, so I'll cut short this rehashed reaction. The movie's funny. You'll laugh.
Onto the Blu-ray and it's a good one. Instead of just vomiting up a double-dip with boosted visual and audio fidelity and no additional extras, Fox has put together a high-def release that makes good use of the format. First, the tech specs. The 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer represents a definite upgrade in picture quality. Low-budget or no, the film looks terrific. This is a bright movie, shot primarily in the daylight and the enhanced resolution brings out the Vermont-ish colors with verve. The detailing is visibly improved in high definition, which actually makes those mustache close-ups a smidge nauseating. Audio: a clean 5.1 DTS HD Master track that kicks out some activity in the busier scenes.
The extras are the main attraction for this release. Two amusing commentary tracks with the Broken Lizard guys, a pair of standard-def making-of featurettes and a batch of deleted scenes and outtakes with optional commentary are joined by two Blu-ray extras: a unique picture-in-picture commentary and a drinking game.
Stupor Troopers Drinking Game
Closing Statement
A worthy HD upgrade and a pair of innovative Blu-specific extras make this edition of Super Troopers stand out in a line-up.
The Verdict
Not Guilty chicken@#$%.
Give us your feedback!
Did we give Super Troopers (Blu-Ray) a fair trial? yes / no

Drug Safety:
No one pressures you to do drugs or drink alcohol and it is not something that is seen
Campus Food:
There is a coffee shop on campus, bt besides the cafe, you must walk downtown to find other options. Subway and a Mexican Restaurant are closeby, but not always open.
Although I attend the downtown Phoenix campus, the demographics of students tend to be very similar.
Football is widely celebrated, but you rarely hear or see any advertisement for other sports.
Off-Campus Housing:
The off campus housing is expensive unless you live in a dingy apartment.
Classes are sometimes difficult to get, especially once are you close to graduating.
The academics are average. It can be difficult to get classes and your professors are either amazing or don't care at all.
Way to expensive!! And far away from classes.
they are very strict about plagiarism though
I am very happy with my choice and excited for it
Off-Campus Dining:
there a lot to choose from where I go to school
I love learning about families
The computers are everywhere and easy accessible and ready for use.
Shuttle buses and public transportation comes right on campus properties it's great and very convenient
Health & Safety:
Although I have never used the Health Services that Arizona State has to offer, they do a very good job in advertising that they are there for students. They offer discounted prices if you enroll in a fairly cheap program that covers you for the semester. As far as the security and police, I think that ASU does a great job. I always see police patrolling around and security is accessible to keep us all safe.
Off-Campus Dining:
Off-campus restaurants at ASU provide probably about the same options as other colleges and universities on average. They tend to be fast-food chains or restaurants who have the same prices as everywhere else. However, the Mellow Mushroom is one of my favorite places to eat and their are only a few of them in Arizona, one fairly near the campus. They have great deals for students and Happy Hours.
Athletics at Arizona State are a point of pride and varsity sports are a pretty big deal. The football team is nationally ranked and the school truly does bleed the school colors, maroon and gold, when it comes to game days. The facilities are made accessible for everyone and provided for free for students through their tuition. Everything is up-to-date and monthly health programs encourage students to work out in groups and motivate them to keep coming.
Guys & Girls:
Frats and sororities everywhere. But there is a good amount of artsy, skater guys too.
Campus Housing:
There are tons of freshman dorms, and for the most part they have some pretty nice activities. Hassy and Barret are the best dorms to live in, and they all have some source of food relatively close.
Campus police have started to crack down because at the beginning of every school year kids get crazy. As the year goes on it dies down and it isn't that bad. They also send out text reports for anything from a gas leak to a shooting near by.
Arizona State offers a lot of parking options, but they are all costly and some days if you come during the rush of classes, it can be hard to find a parking spot.
Local Area:
Tempe is a very festive location with many different experiences available. From its proximity to Tempe Town Lake, to the variety of bars and restaurants on University Dr, ASU is in an ideal location. The only downside is it is located in the middle of a bustling city, without much aesthetic appeal.
So far the process has been the easiest that I have experienced to date. Almost all I was able to complete online. I only wish there were more scholarship opportunities available.
Drug Safety:
I have never seen any drug issues at the West campus. I think I've heard of one or maybe two incidents at the Tempe campus but they were handled very well by campus security and the local police department.
Campus Quality:
The west campus is real easy to get around in. It's small, one of the things I loved about it. I didn't have to worry about getting lost. They are really good on the first couple days of school to have some people outside helping you find classes if you need them too, but since we only have 4 buildings that hold classes and they're all right by each other, it's hard to get lost and not find what you need. The lecture halls and class sizes are done really well and there's enough room to move around in when needed. Also in every class there's more than one handicap seating available and I found that to be really nice.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
Arizona State is like no other university in the country. With a large, vibrant, and exciting student body that truly makes the campus unique, there is no arguing that ASU is by any means a boring place to be for the next four years of your life. As soon as you step onto ASU's campus, you will feel the immense amount of positive and exciting energy that gives you sense of belonging. Even though there are so many students around campus, you will be sure to find a niche to call your own. College is the time to find yourself and truly learn who you are as you prepare for the real world. ASU provides the perfect environment to challenge you to make "adult" decisions, and you won't always, but by the end of it all, you will mature into a dedicated individual!
Even though students will struggle with all-nighters, sports practice, parking tickets, and trying to recover from a great night, many of them couldn't ask for anything else. There will be times that you are drowning in homework and studying, but by the end of it all, you will look back and laugh. Your peers help you get through the tough times and make those social outings even more fun. ASU knows how to party hard, but when it comes to crunch time, we pull it off well. The kids here know how to have a great time, the nightlife and social settings are extremely fun, the academics are quite challenging—especially when you apply yourself and take it seriously—but most importantly, students will leave prepared for post-graduation and taking on the world. ASU is a fantastic place to meet new people and a great way to experience life in the great southwest. But don't take my word for it—come on out and experience it for yourself!

I can't confirm. It works for me. What revision of CtagsSidekick?
The CtagsSidekick filter no longer works in Jedit5.0. Typing text in the filter box should filter to matching expressions, but it does nothing.
I can't confirm. It works for me. What revision of CtagsSidekick?
Sorry, I have CtagsSidekick 1.5, Jedit 5.0.0, JRE 1.6.0_37.
I can reproduce this. If the option "filter persists after tree selection" is *not* checked, and I start up a clean jEdit 5.0, typing into the filter field doesn't do anything.
Since I normally always have the "filter persists after tree selection" checked, I never noticed this before.
So the current workaround is to check that option. But this is a bug.
The filter checkbox option I am talking about is in Plugin Options - Sidekick - General, not in CtagsSideKick.
That's interesting. Oddly enough, I can't reproduce the error anymore.
I discovered that this was working properly on another co-workers PC, so I copied there settings over mine and voila...mine started working too. So, I never knew what setting it was that made the difference.
Now, it doesn't matter whether I have the box checked or not. It always works properly.
I only see it immediately after jEdit startup. If i start fiddling with options, eventually the filter field always works and it doesn't matter what options are there. So it seems like some sort of initialization problem.
I forgot to mention. I did not have this option checked after copying my co-workers settings.

Four trends changing virtualization
Jamie Gruener highlights four trends that he says will change the storage virtualization landscape altogether.
This Article Covers
Virtualization Strategy
The last time I wrote about storage virtualization, I got mail from a number of users that were dead-on by suggesting that I had not completely described all the vendors providing various forms of storage virtualization. Books written on this topic fail to fully do justice to this, so a short column won't fit the bill either. Well… the industry challenge remains defining virtualization, and determining where it best fits. Why beat a dead horse when so much has been written about this?
Free download: A complete guide to storage for virtual environments
Many storage admins consider virtual servers for a boost in agility – which is essential when supporting remote offices, new business applications, and unbridled data growth. But, if you're thinking of approaching your virtual environments with the same old storage strategy as your physical servers, then you're setting yourself up for a series of performance and capacity issues down the road. Download this invaluable guide, featuring expert tips and advice to help you architect the best storage management strategy for virtual environments.

Turns out the year 2004 will be an interesting one for storage virtualization as a number of new industry initiatives change the way you the customer will deploy and leverage virtualization as part of your storage hardware management strategy. Four trends come to mind that change the storage virtualization landscape: intelligent switches that will do volume and file management, grid storage (hold your horses, I'll explain it), the growing convergence between virtualization tools and data management, and the pending integration of server and storage virtualization.
First off, the religious wars of where virtualization will reside as a technology are increasingly irrelevant. Some storage administrators want to use host-based approaches, others leverage array-based tools, and today there are a growing number of fabric-and switch-based tools that will do storage virtualization. It will be driven by customer preference. But then on the other side, there's been an explosion of digital content that drives the need for file virtualization and management tools that will give better views of files and directories. Many of these tools assist in the consolidation of multiple NAS platforms, and are increasingly used to assist with compliance/data retention requirements.
Getting back to the intelligent switch integration of virtualization (mostly volume management), customers need to consider if having volume management resident in the network is the right approach. There's a mix of different ways switch vendors are starting to deliver the functionality in their platforms. Mileage varies here on functionality, ease of deployment, and overall support for heterogeneous storage. However, as more products arrive in the market midyear and into 2005, customers should consider pilot deployments to see if this is a viable alternative to host-based virtualization, the most common volume management approach. I am cautious about this market segment because while there are inherent advantages to providing volume management in the network, early deployment models and initial lackluster customer interest are current market inhibitors.
A second emerging trend towards grid storage also will have implications for storage virtualization in 2004 and beyond. Only a few vendors so far have tipped their cards on this emerging category of storage, but storage virtualization either at the volume or file level will be central to most of these products. Grid storage weaves together modular storage systems, which share common virtualization (either volume or file management), management software, and availability/redundancy for data. Stay tuned for more vendor initiatives here in the next year, which will take a wide range of angles on deploying storage in a Lego-like deployment model.
Finally, it is important to note that storage virtualization has become an integrated component of data management tools. It also will increasingly be connected to server virtualization tools that manage server hardware and lifecycle management. For several years, a number of storage virtualization tools have taken on data management features. And, most recently in February, VERITAS released its Storage Foundation 4.0 that continues to add new features that will integrate with other VERITAS tools, including NetBackup. And, as more server and storage management tools start to blend and manage infrastructure jointly, customers will increasingly be able to bring a server online, provision new storage volumes and manage the server and storage collectively from a single set of products. This is starting to happen, but will take another 12 to 24 months to materialize with a large number of available products.

There is so much goin on on this thread I figure I ask if it has already been discussed.
The checkboxes do not seem to work at all. I have a custom post type, and when adding the widget, I am trying to search three different taxonomy categories I have created, but when I try to select 1 from each it just shows all the posts. If I try to select one, it shows posts that was not related to that category. Is this a issue that has not been fixed.

Drugs categories
Other Brand Names containing Clonazepam
Clonazepam is used for the treatment of seizures. Notify your physician if you
are pregnant or nursing. This medication may cause dizziness, drowsiness, or
blurred vision; use caution while driving or operating hazardous machinery.
Do not take any other sedating drugs or drink alcohol while taking clonazepam.
Do not change the dose or stop taking clonazepam without talking with your physician.
This medication may be habit forming. Seizures or withdrawal symptoms may occur after
you stop taking it. This medication should be taken with meals to avoid stomach upset.
Effect of Clonazepam on the Pharmacokinetics of Other Drugs: Clonazepam does not appear to alter the pharmacokinetics of phenytoin, carbamazepine, or phenobarbital. The effect of clonazepam on the metabolism of other drugs has not been investigated.
Effect of Other Drugs on the Pharmacokinetics of Clonazepam: Literature reports suggest that ranitidine, an agent that decreases stomach acidity, does not greatly alter clonazepam pharmacokinetics.
In a study in which the 2 mg clonazepam orally disintegrating tablet was administered with and without propantheline (an anticholinergic agent with multiple effects on the GI tract) to healthy volunteers, the AUC of clonazepam was 10% lower and the Cmax of clonazepam was 20% lower when the orally disintegrating tablet was given with propantheline compared to when it was given alone.
Fluoxetine does not affect the pharmacokinetics of clonazepam. Cytochrome P-450 inducers, such as phenytoin, carbamazepine and phenobarbital, induce clonazepam metabolism, causing an approximately 30% decrease in plasma clonazepam levels. Although clinical studies have not been performed, based on the involvement of the cytochrome P-450 3A family in clonazepam metabolism, inhibitors of this enzyme system, notably oral antifungal agents, should be used cautiously in patients receiving clonazepam.
Pharmacodynamic Interactions: The CNS-depressant action of the benzodiazepine class of drugs may be potentiated by alcohol, narcotics, barbiturates, nonbarbiturate hypnotics, antianxiety agents, the phenothiazines, thioxanthene and butyrophenone classes of antipsychotic agents, monoamine oxidase inhibitors and the tricyclic antidepressants, and by other anticonvulsant drugs.
Clonazepam is not indicated in patients with epilepsy who have been treated with benzodiazepines. Antagonism of the benzodiazepine effect in such patients may provoke seizures. Serious sequelae are rare unless other drugs or alcohol have been taken concomitantly.

Research initiatives to help combat the HIV/AIDS epidemic were the focus of three sessions presented in July at the 22nd International Nursing Research Congress of the Honor Society of Nursing, Sigma Theta Tau International.
This research can enhance the care of patients with HIV and provide data on which we can base policy and guidelines, said Inge Corless, RN, PhD, moderator of the HIV sessions and a professor at MGH Institute of Health Professions in Boston.
Although the number of new HIV infections has declined globally, it is increasing in some countries, and more than 33 million people worldwide live with HIV infection, according to the World Health Organization.
The congress HIV sessions, which Corless called cutting-edge research, focused on global perspectives, health promotion initiatives and collaborative initiatives for patients with HIV or AIDS.
Culturally specific HIV prevention
A research project aimed at preventing HIV infection in low-income women in Chile stressed the importance of a culturally targeted design. Called Mano a Mano-Mujer, or Hand to Hand-for Women, the program sought to decrease Chilean womens rising share of HIV cases, which nearly doubled between 1986 and 2009.
Women do not see themselves as being at risk, said lead investigator Rosina Cianelli, RN, MS, MPH, PhD, FAAN, associate professor, University of Miami School of Nursing and Health Studies, Coral Gables, Fla.
Yet women are vulnerable, partly because of traditional gender roles. These roles are expressed through machismo (machoism) and marianismo, which is female acceptance that men will engage in high-risk sexual behaviors, said Cianelli, who is originally from Chile.
A pilot study by Cianelli showed that to be effective among Chilean women, an HIV prevention campaign must address these cultural barriers and should have nurses teach it, rather than peers. Women really trust nurses and follow what nurses tell them to do, she said.
The new study therefore implemented a nurse-instructed intervention, which recruited women from Santiago, Chile, who were ages 18 to 49 and reported having sexual activity within the past six months. Nearly 500 women enrolled in the study: 244 in the intervention group and 252 women in the control group. The intervention group received six educational sessions on HIV, which covered risk-reduction behaviors, such as use of condoms (including female condoms) and communicating with partners about safer sex practices. Both groups underwent assessment before and three months after the study regarding their HIV knowledge, attitudes and behaviors.
The control group received no education until after completing the study assessment.
Compared with controls, women who received the intervention had significantly improved HIV knowledge, attitudes toward people living with HIV, intentions to reduce HIV risk behaviors and self-efficacy (confidence in ability) to engage in risk-reduction practices, Cianelli reported. An increase in condom use was not statistically significant, but more women reported being abstinent after the intervention, she said. Because Chile is predominantly Catholic and a Catholic university collaborated on the study, Cianelli said the program also discussed abstinence.
The program had wide-reaching benefits beyond HIV prevention, she said. Some women returned to school; some left abusive relationships.
Peripheral neuropathy
As part of another international nursing research team, Patrice Nicholas, RN, MPH, DNSc, ANP, examined the prevalence and self-management of peripheral neuropathy symptoms in 80 adults with HIV infection in South Africa. Nicholas, director of Global Health and Academic Partnerships at Bostons Brigham and Womens Hospital and professor at MGH Institute of Health Professions, was a Fulbright Scholar at the University of KwaZulu-Natal in Durban, South Africa.
Of the study population, nearly 62% had peripheral neuropathy, a common complication of both HIV and antiretroviral therapy. More than 25% rated their pain as 10 on a 0 to 10 scale, Nicholas reported.
Medications such as gabapentin and tricyclic antidepressants, which can make quality of life much better for these patients, are not readily available in South Africa, she said.
Furthermore, few participants reported effective self-care. Those who did perform self-care to alleviate pain tried rest, massage and walking more often. The study calls out for more therapeutic interventions for treating HIV neuropathy in South Africa and the U.S., she said.
This research, Nicholas continued, should encourage nurses everywhere to assess HIV-infected patients for peripheral neuropathy, which often goes unevaluated.
Stigma and compliance barriers
Two studies focused on HIV-related stigma. Aubrey Florom-Smith, RN, BSN, a graduate assistant at the University of Miamis nursing school, presented the results of one of these studies. From a literature review, Florom-Smith found stigma is a universal experience for HIV-infected individuals that may result in negative health outcomes.
Corless, the moderator, called stigma an important topic in HIV discussions. Stigma may affect patient compliance, and it may make people reluctant to find out if they have HIV infection or to tell their families they are infected, she said. People are afraid of being ostracized and may not do the things they need to do to maintain their health.
Unfortunately, nurses may not recognize their own stigmatizing beliefs or discriminatory behaviors toward HIV-infected patients, according to an abstract by Natalia Villegas, RN, MSN, a University of Miami doctoral student. Villegas, Cianelli and colleagues found community nurses and other healthcare workers in Santiago, Chile, had stigmatizing attitudes toward people living with HIV, or they broke patient confidentiality to inform other nurses about patients HIV status. Its important for nurses to be aware of stigma as we interact with patients, to listen to their concerns and to offer support and resources, Corless said.
Nurses also should promote resilience to coping with HIV by identifying patients motivation factors, according to another study co-authored by Florom-Smith.
In other research presented at the meeting, Jodi Simpson, RN, DNP, NPP, FNP, of Kings County Hospital Center, Brooklyn, N.Y., identified barriers to adherence to highly active antiretroviral therapy among patients with severe mental illness and HIV or AIDS. A retrospective chart review at a New York HIV-mental health clinic showed barriers to compliance included male gender, multiple substance abuse, living alone and having only a high school education. In her abstract, Simpson wrote of the need for [a]standard guideline and resource tool to improve treatment and medication adherence in this population.
