I. Definition of the Prevention Area
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) likely facilitate HIV transmission and acquisition. STI treatment efforts have been used as an HIV prevention approach with mixed outcomes. This prevention strategy may be most effective in settings with a high burden of STIs and when targeted to most-at-risk populations and their sexual partners. However, randomized trials have found STI treatment to have little to no effect on HIV incidence.
II. Epidemiological Justification for the Prevention Area
The role of STIs in the transmission dynamics of HIV epidemics is paradoxical and complex. Population-based studies have found that both the prevalence and incidence of HIV were substantially higher in people with STIs. Both curable STIs and chronic infections such as herpes simplex virus type-2 (genital herpes) can increase vulnerability to HIV infection by disrupting skin and mucosal barriers and/or by causing inflammation that brings HIV-susceptible immune cells to the genital tract. STIs are biological markers for risky sexual behaviors, which are also risk factors for HIV acquisition.
In addition, a number of studies in HIV serodiscordant couples report that HIV-positive individuals with herpes or genital ulcer disease are significantly more likely to transmit HIV to their partners. Some STIs appear to increase the risk of HIV transmission by boosting viral shedding in the genital secretions of both men and women who are HIV-positive. Other studies of HIV-positive individuals on antiretroviral therapy suggest that STIs may increase the infectiousness of HIV, even when an individual has an undetectable viral load.
Despite these data, numerous clinical trials have not been able to demonstrate a decline in HIV incidence as a result of STI treatment. Some hypothesize that treated STIs may still cause inflammation and other changes in the genital mucosa even after the initial symptoms have disappeared. The ongoing inflammation and changes in the genital mucosa may be why STI treatment does not have an effect on HIV incidence. Epidemic stage, prevalence of viral versus bacterial STIs, and type of treatment may also be reasons that STI treatment does not lower HIV incidence.
III. Core Programmatic Components
While STI treatment does not seem to have a significant impact on HIV incidence, effective management of STIs is an essential public health activity and is particularly important for improved maternal and child health outcomes. Data linking the prevalence of STIs with increased risk of HIV transmission and acquisition underscore the importance of STI prevention, which can best be achieved through a comprehensive STI control program.
The U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) supports STI control for HIV prevention depending on epidemic type and population. In concentrated epidemics, the population focus should be on most-at-risk populations, individuals with symptomatic STIs, HIV-positive persons with high-risk behaviors, and other groups that may be at high risk for STI acquisition. In generalized epidemics, PEPFAR supports STI control programs for high-risk subpopulations, including most-at-risk populations, individuals with symptomatic STIs, HIV-positive persons, and sexually active adolescents. PEPFAR also supports HIV testing and counseling services for STI patients.
A 2009 review of STI control and HIV prevention in the Bulletin of the World Health Organization concluded that the core elements of a comprehensive STI control program should include:
- Reaching out to populations at greatest risk, particularly those who change partners frequently, potentially propelling transmission within the population
- Promoting safer sex through the provision of condoms and other prevention activities
- Offering effective clinical interventions (including STI screening, treatment, and case management)
- Initiating structural interventions to ensure an environment that supports safer sex behavior and care- and treatment-seeking behaviors
- Collecting reliable data to monitor disease trends and the effectiveness of interventions.
IV. Current Status of Implementation Experience
Research is ongoing to better understand how STIs modify HIV transmission. The development of improved screening strategies to detect some asymptomatic STIs in resource-limited settings remains a research priority. Currently, STI treatment as a stand-alone HIV prevention intervention in generalized epidemics is not supported by scientific data.
STI control for HIV prevention depends on the type of HIV epidemic and the populations at highest risk. A number of resource-limited countries, including Cambodia, Kenya, Senegal, Sri Lanka, and Thailand, have demonstrated that it is feasible for programs to expand STI control services. Several countries that have successfully controlled STIs have also reported stabilization or reversal of their HIV epidemics. For instance, in India, the Avahan Initiative reported a reduction in STI and HIV incidence after it included the improved delivery of STI management to most-at-risk groups as part of its comprehensive prevention interventions. Thailand's 100% Condom Program appears to have contributed to both STI reduction and HIV prevention by requiring condom use in brothels. STI screening, management, and treatment are key components of the PEPFAR comprehensive package of services for most-at-risk populations.

The review examines the role that sexually transmitted infections (STIs) play in people living with HIV and how the co-infections of STIs and HIV play on the prevention potential of antiretroviral therapy (ART) in limiting HIV transmission rates. The search includes studies that report on STIs in people living with HIV and were published from 2000 to 2010. It also only includes STIs that demonstrate HIV shedding in the genital tract such as syphilis, chancroid, and gonorrhea. Thirty-seven studies are presented in the review, and it was found that the overall mean point prevalence of STI co-infection was 16.3 percent. The most common STIs co-infections were syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and trichomoniasis. The highest prevalence of STI/HIV co-infections were in people newly diagnosed with HIV, but STI co-infections take place throughout the course of HIV infection and not only when first diagnosed. For example, the average STI/HIV co-infections was 14 percent. People taking ART also were diagnosed with STI co-infections to a high degree, and there was not a significant difference of co-infections between HIV-positive individuals who were or were not on ART. The review points to limitations to forecast data on the overall effect of ART for prevention programs on reducing transmission rates in HIV epidemics. They often do not include the effect of STI co-infections in the models, which would reduce the successfulness of those results. STI co-infections should be included in future models and forecast when considering ART as a prevention strategy.
Treatment of curable sexually transmitted infections (STIs), a relatively inexpensive, simple, and effective intervention, should be promoted as an essential component of HIV control programs in communities with a high incidence of STIs. The authors derived this from reviewing the observational studies and nine randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating the impact of STI treatment interventions on HIV incidence. Although only one of nine RCTs has demonstrated an effect on HIV incidence, the authors conclude that issues in trial design and conduct--including HIV epidemic phase, STI prevalence, and intervention in comparison groups--affected several of the trials. The RCTs examined three different management approaches to a broad spectrum of curable and incurable STIs in varying populations, with different levels of risk behaviors and STI prevalence, in both concentrated and generalized HIV epidemic settings. Four of the trials focused on population-level effects of STI treatments, with only one focusing on populations with high STI prevalence. Three trials, focusing on herpes suppressive therapy, found that antivirals for herpes simplex virus suppression were insufficient to control the cofactor effect of herpes simplex virus type-2 on HIV transmission. The authors advocate for future research examining the biological mechanisms responsible for the STI-HIV interactions, testing new STI control strategies that target these interactions, and developing point-of-care STI diagnostics and evaluation of alternative partners service approaches (e.g., patient-delivered partner therapy).
This randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial of acyclovir set out to determine whether or not the drug could reduce the transmission of HIV from partners co-infected with HIV and herpes simplex virus type-2 (HSV-2) to their serodiscordant partners. The study was conducted among over 3,400 serodiscordant couples in 14 sites in Southern and Eastern Africa. Although daily therapy with acyclovir reduced mean plasma concentrations of HIV and the occurrence of genital ulcers due to HSV-2, it did not cut the risk of HIV transmission, the study found. However, it proved the feasibility of conducting trials among HIV serodiscordant couples.
This study used confidential computerized interviews to ask people living with HIV about recent history of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) as well as their sexual behaviors and infectiousness beliefs. It found that one in seven respondents had been diagnosed with an STI over a six-month period, most commonly herpes simplex virus and syphilis. There was a strong association between belief that viral load was undetectable and diagnosis with an STI. The authors advocate integration of STI diagnosis and treatment into routine clinical HIV care. It is also crucial to correct false beliefs about infectiousness and provide education about STI symptom recognition and the importance of early detection and aggressive treatment, they write.
The Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS Mode of Transmission Model spreadsheet was used to assess the impact of various HIV prevention interventions based on data available from Malawi, taking into account the country's high prevalence of partner concurrency and serodiscordancy. Interventions in the model include increased condom use, more circumcisions, and converting all multiple concurrent partnerships into monogamous partnerships. The model showed that most new cases were among low-risk heterosexual groups (i.e., those who were part of serodiscordant couples or those who had casual sex and their partners). Condom use by discordant couples, a monogamy policy such as Uganda's Zero Grazing campaign, and abstinence were the most effective prevention measures; improved treatment of sexually transmitted infections had only a limited effect.
The prevalence and incidence of reproductive tract infections (RTIs) and HIV over a five-year period and the relationship between RTIs and HIV infection were examined in this study of more than 4,400 women attending family planning clinics in Zimbabwe and Uganda. Even though the women received regular counseling on risk reduction, screening, and treatment for RTIs, the incidence of HIV and RTIs did not diminish during the study period and almost all types of RTI were associated with increased risk of HIV infection. The authors still conclude that aggressive efforts to control RTIs may contribute significantly to HIV prevention and recommend continued efforts to find more effective treatments and interventions.
This small study offers an explanation for why treating herpes simplex virus type-2 (HSV-2) does not lead to a reduction in HIV acquisition even though infection with HSV-2 is associated with increased risk of HIV infection. Examining biopsies from eight subjects infected with HSV-2, the authors found that below healed herpes lesions, there is profound localized inflammation that persists even after prolonged antiviral therapy. Future interventions to break the association between HSV-2 and HIV should strive to reduce this inflammation or lead to the development of a HSV-2 vaccine, the authors conclude.
This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial enrolled HIV-negative, herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) seropositive women in Africa and men who have sex with men in Peru and the United States. Participants were given either acyclovir or placebo for 12 to 18 months. The primary endpoint was HIV acquisition, and the study showed that suppression of HSV-2 infection did not lead to a reduction in incidence of HIV. This is disappointing, the authors comment, given that infection with HSV-2 is associated with significantly higher risk of HIV acquisition. They recommend further studies re-examine this assumption derived from observational studies and whether higher doses of acyclovir or other antiviral drugs would yield better results.
The commentary is in response to two randomized controlled trials that tested the effect of STI treatment on HIV acquisition, both published in volume 371 of the Lancet in 2008. The first was conducted in Tanzania and the other was multicenter (HIV Prevention Trials Network 039). Both found no effect of herpes simplex virus type 2 suppression on HIV acquisition, a surprising result based on observational data. The authors provide plausible reasons on why this may have been found. Diagnosis and treatment of STIs is a public health responsibility; however, they conclude that HIV prevention strategies may need to be revised based on these new findings. Resources should be directed to strategies that are proven efficacious.
The commentary is in response to the view expressed by Gray and Wawer (in "Reassessing the Hypothesis on STI Control for HIV Prevention," Lancet 2008) that HIV prevention strategies should be adjusted based on the results from two randomized controlled trials showing no effect of STI control on HIV acquisition. The authors disagree with this view and support sexually transmitted infection control in HIV prevention founded on the results of modeling studies. Reducing funds to sexually transmitted infection diagnosis, treatment, and control could have adverse and unexpected effects on the HIV epidemic and should not be relaxed.
This study used a mathematical model to examine whether or not interventions to treat sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are cost-saving in populations with generalized HIV epidemics. The model was applied to the population characteristics of four cities in West Africa and East Africa, two with high HIV prevalence and two where prevalence was relatively low. It found that in settings where there is a generalized HIV epidemic, even though the proportion of HIV infections attributable to curable STIs is likely to fall, interventions targeting these diseases are still highly cost-effective and potentially cost-saving, assuming STIs have not been controlled by changes in risk behavior.
This study compared the impact of three scenarios--behavioral interventions with or without syndromic management of sexually transmitted infections and routine medical care--on incidence of HIV in rural Ugandan communities. Awareness of herpes simplex virus type-2 (HSV-2) symptoms improved in the behavioral intervention group and HSV-2 incidence decreased in the group that also received syndromic sexually transmitted infection management. The study took reported condom use with the last casual partner as a proxy for high-risk sexual encounters and found that the behavioral interventions were associated with increased condom use. However, there was no measurable reduction in the incidence of HIV in any of the groups.
This study looked at the impact of presumptive treatment of sexually transmitted infections on both HIV transmission and pregnancy outcome. The study randomized over 4,000 pregnant women to either one presumptive treatment for sexually transmitted infections during pregnancy or vitamin and mineral supplements, with confidential notification and treatment referral for those diagnosed with syphilis during the study. The intervention resulted in less cervical and vaginal infections and fewer cases of infant ophthalmia, as well as significantly lower rates of low birth weight and neonatal mortality. However, there was no change in maternal HIV acquisition or in mother-to-child HIV transmission.
This 2001 meta-analysis combined the best available evidence to date to examine the effect of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) on HIV susceptibility. It found that many studies had been done in this area, but that a quantitative understanding of the interaction between the two was still lacking. Although randomized controlled trials are the gold standard for proving causation, most studies on HIV and STIs were observational. The authors recommend that future studies should strive to quantify the extent to which treating STIs has an impact on HIV prevention.
This study sought to test the hypothesis that controlling sexually transmitted infections (STIs) at the population level would reduce the incidence of HIV, as had been found in the first clinical trial conducted in rural Tanzania. The study was conducted in clusters of villages that encompassed social, and therefore sexual, networks in a rural district in southwestern Uganda with high rates of both HIV and STIs. The intervention group participants were given mass treatment with antibiotics while the control group participants were given vitamins and treatment for parasitic worms. Although the prevalence and incidence of some STIs significantly reduced in the intervention group versus the control group, there was no difference in HIV incidence.
This was the first randomized controlled clinical trial to test the hypothesis that treating sexually transmitted infections (STIs) would reduce HIV infection. The STI intervention program was conducted in 12 large communities and included setting up a reference clinic and laboratory, diagnosis and treatment training for existing staff, supplying drugs, and visits to villages served by each health facility to encourage people to seek prompt treatment for STIs. The study found that in the intervention group, HIV incidence fell by more than two-fifths over two years, with the greatest impact among women aged 15 to 24 and men aged 25 to 34. Subsequent clinical trials have not been able to replicate these results.

This evaluation monitored the performance of Avahan, the India AIDS Initiative, using a supportive supervision tool to analyze outcomes from three perspectives: clinical, community, and management. The tool assessed the accessibility, acceptability, and contact coverage of sexually transmitted infection clinical services. It looked at barriers to access and monitored the quality of individual service components, including correct treatment, infection control, confidentiality, and counseling. Monitoring demonstrated that Avahan improved and sustained quality in terms of coverage, quality, technical support, community involvement, and networks of referrals. The monitoring tool provides timely and useful feedback but can be time-consuming and resource-intensive to implement.
This study used biological and behavioral surveys to assess the impact of HIV prevention programs targeted at female sex workers, such as peer outreach and behavior change communication and provision of sexual health clinic services including syndromic and presumptive management of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). By follow-up, almost all participants had been visited by a peer educator, at least three-quarters had visited a drop-in center or sexual health clinic, and two-thirds had received presumptive treatment for chlamydia and gonorrhea. Rates of condom use with clients improved but were static with regular partners. The prevalence of HIV reduced significantly across the board, but for curable STIs, only street-based female sex workers had a reduced prevalence at follow-up. Rates of curable STIs did not decrease for brothel- and home-based female sex workers.
Twenty-seven antiretroviral therapy programs in Africa, Asia, and South America were surveyed to determine the extent of preventive services they offered. The survey showed that prevention efforts in most programs focused on health education to change behavior, supply of male condoms, and prevention of mother-to-child transmission. Other interventions (e.g., protocols for partner notification and interventions for high-risk groups such as serodiscordant couples and adolescents) were less common. Few sites offered regular sexually transmitted infection screening. Survey respondents cited stigma, lack of financial resources, and high patient load as the main obstacles to implementing preventive services within antiretroviral therapy programs.
This paper argues that the "fractured paradigm" of HIV prevention separate from programs to tackle sexually transmitted infections (STIs) is counterproductive for both, given that weak control of STIs may undermine HIV prevention efforts. The paper reviews the components, benefits, and feasibility of STI control and offers an alternative, unified paradigm to tackle HIV together with other STIs. A useful table lays out the epidemiological parameters for integrating HIV prevention and STI control, detailing which target groups and diseases should get priority in which settings and when STI interventions are most effective in preventing HIV transmission.
In Haiti, voluntary HIV counseling and testing became a gateway to providing comprehensive sexual and reproductive health services including condom use promotion, family planning, maternal child health services, and services specifically for young people and survivors of sexual violence. Integration made sense because most HIV infections in Haiti are transmitted sexually, mother-to-child transmission is common, and people living with HIV face stigma and discrimination in accessing health services. Services evolved as needs were identified. Although such integration requires great efforts to overcome the stigma associated with HIV, providing access to a range of health services greatly improves uptake of HIV counseling and testing.
The randomized double-blinded and placebo-controlled trial enrolled Kenyan female sex workers to test whether the use of antibiotic prophylaxis to treat common sexually transmitted infections (STIs) would also reduce the rate of HIV acquisition. Four hundred and sixty-six seronegative sex workers were enrolled in the study. All women were provided with risk-reduction counseling, condoms, treatment of symptomatic STIs, and biannual screening and treatment for asymptomatic STIs. Oral azithromycin was given to half of the participants and the other half was given a placebo. There was no statistically significant difference between the treatment and placebo groups on HIV-1 incidence. Out of 35 seroconversion cases, 19 were in the treatment group and 16 were in the placebo group. There was a strong association between prior STI and incident HIV-1 infection, and a significant positive effect of azithromycin on the reduction of incidence and prevalence of bacterial STIs. A reduction in risky sexual behaviors in both groups was found. Condom use with all clients increased from less to 20 percent to more than 50 percent within one month. The number of clients per week decreased from more than 16 to less than 6 within six months. There was a correlation between HIV-1 infection and risky sexual behaviors within the year of seroconversion. The authors provide plausible reasons for the lack of effectiveness in reducing HIV-1 acquisition with azithromycin treatment in this population.
This study of Kenya's syndromic management program for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) used HIV sentinel surveillance data in patients with STIs to identify changes in the proportion of patients with three syndromes associated with increased HIV acquisition: genital ulcer disease, urethral discharge, and vaginal discharge. Incidence declined after the introduction of the program in 1995 and then increased again when free STI medication was no longer offered in 2001. As this was an ecological study, it was vulnerable to possible selection bias, and the authors recommend further studies such as randomized clinical trials to better understand the impact of complex interventions like STI syndromic management programs.
This review of programs implementing syndromic management of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) found that the processes for diagnosis and treatment of urethral discharge and genital ulcer disease in men were highly sensitive or had good cure rates, but those for women were less sensitive, particularly for those without symptoms. Algorithms for vaginal discharge do not effectively detect gonorrhea or chlamydia in women. Once the qualitative aspects of STI syndromic management are taken into account, the algorithms are likely to be even less sensitive than the literature suggests, and the authors urgently call for the development of affordable and effective rapid STI testing for use in resource-poor settings.

The Office of the Global AIDS Coordinator guidance is aimed at U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) country teams to provide them with the latest scientific data on prevention programs to increase the impact of their country portfolios. Prevention programs should be tailored to the epidemiological and social context of the country as well as optimizing on current programs implemented by other partners to help fill gaps. The guidance highlights the importance of knowing the country's epidemic, context, response, and costs, as well as ensuring that HIV prevention is part of the overall country continuum for the response. It also outlines current evidence and program activities that PEPFAR funds will support in relation to the diagnosis and treatment of sexually transmitted infections.
National- and regional-level decision makers can use this Programme Guidance Tool to set goals and priorities for interventions to address reproductive tract infections. The tool has 10 steps, 7 of which are for strategic situation analysis, followed by development of recommendations, implementation of new measures, and expansion of those found to be successful. It gives detailed guidance about what items should be covered at each stage. There is a section on how to conduct rapid assessment, including details on who should be interviewed and what interview tools can be used. There is also a suggested funding proposal outline for financing the first stage of the tool.
This sexually transmitted infection (STI) management training program can be used for in-service training of health care workers in health centers, district hospitals, STI clinics, or other first-level health facilities. Seven modules cover STI prevention and control, syndromic case management, history-taking and examination, diagnosis and treatment, patient counseling and education, partner management, and recording and development. There is a trainer's guide and a CD-ROM that can be used for self-learning or in conjunction with conventional training. The program is also available in French and Spanish.
These guidelines present sexually transmitted infections grouped by presenting symptom, with a section each for infections characterized by vaginal discharge, urethritis and cervicitis, and genital ulcers. Each section gives the range of recommended treatment regimens. The guidelines also cover partner management and special issues such as sexually transmitted infections during pregnancy; infections in babies, children, and adolescents; and, where applicable, treatment of drug-resistant disease strains. These guidelines are based on laboratory diagnosis rather than the syndromic management method that is used in resource-constrained settings.
These guidelines are part of a set of training materials that also includes a training manual, wall chart, and Arabic language promotional materials. The guidelines cover the syndromic management of sexually transmitted infections and have a diagnostic flow chart and treatment table for each common syndrome. They also highlight the importance of education and counseling as a component of both treatment and prevention of sexually transmitted infections. The training manual provides a sample workshop agenda and slides for each session. The wall chart, with a summary of symptom and treatment information, is ideal for use in clinics.
This guide is a reference manual for use in reproductive health care settings such as family planning and maternal and child health care clinics. It focuses on women, as they are the typical users of such clinics and are less likely to use sexually transmitted infection (STI) clinics. There are sections giving basic information on STIs and other reproductive tract infections (RTIs), improving prevention and treatment services, and the clinical management of RTIs. HIV is mentioned in the guide but is not covered extensively because it is not a disease of the reproductive tract.
Periodic Presumptive Treatment for Sexually Transmitted Infections: Experience from the Field and Recommendations for Research
World Health Organization. (2008).
This report describes experiences from the field in periodic and one-time presumptive treatment for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among sex workers and their clients. The report followed on from a technical consultation on global experiences of presumptive STI treatment programs among high-risk populations. The consultation identified the conditions needed for effective STI control using presumptive treatment and produced recommendations for research. Both topics are covered in this report, as is the effect of presumptive treatment on specific STIs. The report presents case studies and offers brief guidance on operating such programs.

Welcome Lyssie from Chester. I'd be lying if I didn't admit to feeling like Philly holds the Barstool crown right now. Hasn't always been this way, but it's like we came back from our summer offseason and are just dominating the Barstool universe. Lyssie is a testament to this. Like we've got Smokes in Playboy contests now. It's an amazing thing.

I've been anticipating the release of "The Hunger Games" since I read Suzanne Collins' best-selling novel, the first in a trilogy.
I'm excited to bring you an exclusive opportunity to see THE HUNGER GAMES in El Paso, TX on Wednesday, March 21, two days before it opens in theaters nationwide. The giveaway ends Monday, March 19, 2012, at 11:59pm, EST. The winner must respond by noon the next day to be included on the VIP list.
The Games begin on March 23, starring Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth and Lenny Kravitz.
The film takes place in Panem, the ruins of what once was North America. Every year, a teenage boy and girl are selected from each of the 12 districts to compete in the Hunger Games, a terrifying, televised competition in which the object is to be the last one to survive. Katniss takes the place of her younger sister as the female tribute from District 12 and finds herself in the fight of her life.
At its heart, the film is about the sacrifices one makes for his/her family. Katniss saves her mother and sister but also embraces a new family – the fellow tributes she befriends at the Games – and fights just as hard to save them as well.

In the "culmination of a great deal of hard work and generosity," the new Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth will open the first exhibition in its new building in mid-December.
Philip Guston Retrospective offers the most comprehensive survey of the artist's work to date. Almost a quarter century since the artist's last in-depth retrospective at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art in 1979, this exhibition includes rarely seen works from the Guston estate. Also include in this comprehensive survey is a revealing survey of drawings that act as both prelude to and restatement of each stage of the artist's career.
Joan Mitchell was a central figure of the second generation Abstract Expressionists. Although highly regarded by critics and fellow artists, Mitchell's achievement has never received full public recognition. The Paintings of Joan Mitchell, organized by the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, covers the artist's entire career, from 1951 until her death, featuring nearly 50 works both intimate and grand in scale.
Julie Bozzi's landscapes depict the spaces between the picturesque events others tend to seek out as they scan a panorama. What they lack in heroic impact, however, they make up for in their subconscious familiarity as American places. A resident of Texas since 1980, Bozzi often paints areas around Fort Worth and Dallas, along the Gulf Coast, and in the eastern Texas Piney Woods. Her approach involves sitting in her car near dusk in front of the chosen site and painting directly onto the canvas. The format of her works - narrow vistas - echoes the view through her car windshield.
The work of Parisian artist Pierre Huyghe (HEW-ig) has won international acclaim and has been presented in numerous solo and group exhibitions in recent years. In 2002 Huyghe was awarded the prestigious fourth biennial Hugo Boss Prize, given by the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation in New York, and in 2001 he was chosen to represent France in the 49th Venice Biennale. Pierre Huyghe: One Million + Kingdoms presents three video projects by Huyghe.
One of the Museum's most significant holdings is its comprehensive collection of works by Robert Motherwell. Numbering fifty objects — paintings, collages, prints, and sketches — this body of work offers a special opportunity to examine and appreciate the creative range of this major modernist artist. 000Robert Motherwell is one of the figureheads of Abstract Expressionism, arguably the most important movement in the history of American art.
One of the most popular works of art in the Modern's collection, Ruckus Rodeo by New York artist Red Grooms, will be installed in the Museum's new building for the first time, coinciding with the 2005 Southwestern Exposition and Livestock Show. Ruckus Rodeo is an immense, walk-through work of art that covers 1,237 square feet of gallery space. It consists of painted two-dimensional surfaces and sculptural three-dimensional figures that re-create the Fort Worth rodeo.
Dan Flavin: A Retrospective, the first comprehensive exhibition of Flavin's career, presents approximately 50 objects and installations, most of which use the medium of fluorescent light, along with drawings, sketches, and collage-constructions. Michael Auping, chief curator of the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, notes, "Dan Flavin's light installations may be the closest thing we have to a contemporary sublime.
Robert Bechtle: A Retrospective is the first full-scale survey of the work of this important San Francisco–based artist. Organized by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and SFMOMA Curator of Painting and Sculpture Janet Bishop in close collaboration with the artist, the exhibition is the most comprehensive presentation of Bechtle's work to date. Since his work emerged in the context of New or Photo-realism in the late 1960s, Bechtle's genre scenes, streetscapes, and images of cars have become icons of middle-class American culture.
The staff of the Modern is pleased to announce the exhibition of selected works from Pablo Picasso's Vollard Suite, part of the Museum's permanent collection. These works were last exhibited in 1985. Director Marla Price remarks, "The Vollard Suite is one of the great treasures of our collection. We are delighted to put it on view in our new building." Curator Andrea Karnes adds, "The Vollard Suite is our first highlighted exhibition of works on paper in the new building.

Mon-Kitsune wrote:Well, She has one in GT (Though we have had it drilled into our heads again and again that GT events and PPGD events are unrelated.) But the main argument I have against this being the patch cause is how young Buttercup is. Symbolically Butter losing her eye is going to pretty much be guaranteed to be a life breaker moment, a sign that the life she had before is gone for good; no going back. It will be the point where being a fighter/warrior becomes ALL her life is about, no more school, no more casual home life. Thats just the way cartoons usually work. So unless Bleed is planning to merge the stories and have the events here be the opening of the Townsville war (i.e. there is no break in the fight between this and that; the girls as we saw them in Grim's flashback had been fighting the Townsville war without break for decades) this isn't that.
Mon-Kitsune wrote: So more likey the injury is to Butter's temple, not her eye; lots more blood there. Her eye would still be closed (the swelling to the side of her head would cover that) but here actual eyeball is probably fine.

U16 Nike Girls 5th Annual Gingerbread Party
To kick the holiday season off the U16 Nike Girls team hosted their 5th Annual Gingerbread Party at the AFA Bowling Alley this December. This tradition has been going strong for half a decade now, and this event was just as fun as the previous years have been. Each player not only decorated their very own gingerbread house, but also brought a gift to donate to Toys for Tots. The team collected more than 30 gifts to donate! The toys were dropped off by Hailey Peterman (U16G Nike) and her brother Chris Peterman (U13B Swoosh). Happy Holidays to everyone and well done to the girls for keeping this great tradition of team fun and donating toys to those less fortunate going strong!

I ordered a series of driftwood dragons and just got them in a few weeks ago. When I saw this bad boy my fingers itched to paint him. Do you ever see something and think I have to do that? I am that way with ceramics. I also won't sell a painted piece off of the shelf of the shop. Most people never notice something that is not painted but once it is painted it attracts attention.

quote:WASHINGTON (AP) -- U.S. officials say that budget strains will force the Pentagon to cut its aircraft carrier presence in the Persian Gulf area from two carriers to one. Officials say Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has formally approved a plan to keep just one carrier in the region. There have been two aircraft carrier groups there for most of the last two years. The USS Dwight D. Eisenhower was in the Gulf but was brought home in December for maintenance. It will return later this month, but plans for the USS Harry S. Truman to deploy to the Gulf this week have been canceled.
quote:Is there a reason we need two there?
quote:Sitting duck
quote:Panetta To Recommend Troops Have Their Pay Cut
quote:Panetta will recommend to Congress that military salaries be limited to a 1% increase in 2014, instead of the previously recommended 1.7%.
quote: I have no idea if one carrier is enough to do what is required...
quote: this needs to be just the tip of the iceberg in spending cuts. If "limiting a pay increase" and only deploying one aircraft carrier to steam around the Gulf instead of two is gonna cause such teeth gnashing, I can only imagine what real spending reform would look like
quote:Having one carrier supporting OEF while another is in a position to sufficiently "pressurize" the gulf when desired.
quote:And yes, the gulf is a pretty terrible operating environment for conventional Naval forces facing a small, fast, maneuverable asymetric threat.

The New York Times' Jerusalem bureau was embroiled in controversy two years ago when news broke that bureau chief Ethan Bronner had a son who enlisted in the Israeli army (Extra!, 4/10). As Bronner wraps up his tenure, a new conflict of interest has arisen: Bureau reporter Isabel Kershner's spouse works to promote favorable coverage of Israel at an Israeli government-linked think tank that Kershner frequently quotes.
As an article by Alex Kane in the May 2012 issue of Extra! reports, Kershner's husband, Hirsh Goodman, is a senior research fellow at the Institute for National Security Studies (INSS), an institution well-connected to the Israeli government and military. Many of its associates come from government or military careers; its website boasts of the group's "strong association with the political and military establishment." In 2010, according to INSS financial documents, the Israeli government gave the institute about $72,000.
Goodman serves as director of the INSS's Charles and Andrea Bronfman Program on Information Strategy, whose purpose is to shape a positive image of Israel in the media. "The media is of strategic importance in a political and military conflict, since it has a formative influence on the degree of legitimacy that each side enjoys," he writes in an explanation of the Bronfman Program on the INSS website. "Israel must devise a strategy to impact positively on international and Arab public opinion and overall disseminate its message more effectively."
Kane's examination of articles written or co-written by Kershner found that she overwhelmingly relies on the INSS for think tank analysis about events in the region. From 2009 into 2012, 17 Times articles Kershner wrote or contributed to quoted officials from the INSS, far more than other comparable think tanks Kershner cited.
None of these articles disclosed that the reporter had a close family tie to one of the leading officials at the think tank being cited. Indeed, the New York Times has never disclosed this link to its readers. Kershner has been frequently criticized by FAIR (Extra!, 7/10, 4/11, 1/12) for misleading reporting that reflects the New York Times' bias toward the Israeli government perspective.
The New York Times' own ethics code recognizes that family ties may pose a conflict for journalists. "Staff members must be sensitive that direct political activity by their spouses...may well create conflicts of interest or the appearance of conflicts," the policy states. "If newsroom management considers the problem serious, the staff member may have to withdraw from certain coverage. Sometimes an assignment may have to be modified or a beat changed."
When the Bronner conflict was pointed out, then-New York Times public editor Clark Hoyt (2/6/10) noted it was problematic for Bronner to be reporting on "one of the world's most intense" conflicts while his son was a combatant on one side. Hoyt spoke to a former Times Jerusalem bureau chief, David Shipler, who stressed the importance of disclosing this relationship to readers.
Kevin Smith, the chair of the Society of Professional Journalists' Ethics Committee and an instructor in media ethics at James Madison University, says that Kershner's case is a "basic ethics 101 lesson." Smith told Extra!, "At the very least, disclosure is demanded."
The Times did not respond to Extra!'s request for comment, but Goodman, Kershner's husband, replied in an email after the magazine went to press. "If anything, that Isabel is married to me has prevented me from being quoted by the Times, or writing for the Times, though I am a senior member of the staff here, have written extensively on strategic and political affairs, am a columnist and author of four books and eminently quotable on a wide range of issues," he wrote. "Now is that fair?"
Please ask New York Times public editor Arthur Brisbane to look into the conflict of interest posed by a correspondent's marriage to someone whose job it is to influence coverage on the issue she covers, working at an organization that she frequently quotes.

- Reduces Storage Space
- Time saver
Best Uses
- Gardening
I bought this because we connected a 100' and a 50' hose together to be able to reach the water spout and the garden. Putting it away and taking it out was so cumbersome, especially when there was water still in it - it was so heavy. And then when the ground was wet and muddy...anyway, by the time we put this together and had the hose on it, I couldn't believe that 150' of hose took up so little room on the spindle. Before it was just splattered all over the floor of the shed. We wished we had done it sooner!
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Sturdy
- Well built
Best Uses
- Hose Storage
I have this cart next to the water faucet. It holds all the hose we need for our yard and then some. It's well built and sturdy and looks a lot better than having rolls of garden hose laying on the ground.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Holds Heavy Duty Hose Wel
Best Uses
This looks good and sturdy but is too weak to withstand average water pressure and leaks profusely at the point of connection to hose. It's a disaster and so far we have been unable to find a way to make it work !!!
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Convenient Hose Storage
- Leader Hose Carcinogeni
Best Uses
The cart moves too much when reeling the hose back up. It is fine for unreeling. The leader hose contains carcinogens and warns not to use it for drinking water. Not what I wanted to see on a hose that will be used to water the vegetable garden.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Connection Leaks Wheels
- Wheels Were Defective
Best Uses
- None
It took three replacements to have 4 intact wheels and the connections leak. The light weight hose is lightweight but kinks frequently and annoyingly. the cart hose connections leak.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- can carry a lot
- Has A Bottom Rack
- Handle Was Backwards
- Requires Assembly
- Tire Was Flat
Best Uses
- Moving Hose Backforth
- Storage
I ordered two because we just installed new sod and we water every day. It takes time to assemble but it is not difficult if everything arrives correctly. We put the first one together with no issue. The second one had the handle on backwards so my husband borrowed tools from a neighbor and fixed it. But the tire was flat on the second one. My husband took it to the gas station to fill with air and it remained flat. I called Gardener's Supply company and they are shipping us a new tire. If it hadn't been for the trouble with the second hose cart, I would have given this a higher rating. I would recommend this cart with some reservations.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Height - Easy On The Back
- Leakage
Best Uses
Although this hose cart leaked after assembly, Customer Service corrected the problem (superior service). It is such a "backsaver" to this senior citizen that I have ordered a second one!
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Easy To Reel Hose
- Good Accessory Storage
- Did I Say Leaks
- Leaks Every Time
- Not Agile
Best Uses
Leaks every time from the connection piece to faucet hose. Joint is made of cheap plastic and just when you think it's tightened and isn't leaking, you move the hose wheel and it starts spraying again. A complete waste of time and my hard earned dollars! So aggravated, have never written a negative review on a product like this.
- Easy to use
- Sturdy
- Will Hold A Lot Of Hose
- Hard to put together
Best Uses
- Outdoors of course
This cart was a little difficult to put together, because some of the screw holes didn't exactly line up. Other that that, it's a very sturdy cart and we have almost 200 feet of hose on it, with room for more. It winds and unwinds the hose easily and evenly.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
Best Uses
The price of the cart commensurates with the quality. When I first received the package, one of the wheels was off of the rim. GS immediately sent me a replacement wheel, although they sent it to my mailing address, not the shipping address I specifically gave the CS rep. It did reach me and we replaced it and now the cart is great. My husband doesn't like the fact that the tires have an inter tube which would be hard to replace if it ever has a flat. He would prefer solid tires but GS said they guarantee their parts for 2 years so I'll hope my luck runs longer than that.
It seems to be a pretty study item. The warning that came with it was weird, it was concerning the black hose that attaches from the cart to your existing hose. They warned not to handle it, or something like that. Anyway, it did smell bad but since I'm keeping it outside it doesn't matter. I put it in the shade because it seems that the rubber handles and maybe even the tires won't withstand full sun exposure indefinitely and will degrade over time, like any foam rubber. So, that said, so far I like the cart. We have two hundred feet of hose we have to drag around. I put one hundred on the cart and left the other hose on my wall, that way, either way, I'll only be winding up one hose.

I Can't Believe It's Vegan!
This page was updated in April 2014.
Being vegan when you're eating out is easy. Take a quick stroll down almost any high street in the UK, and you will find a plethora of bars, restaurant chains and fast-food joints that already have vegan options on their menu or items that can be quickly adapted by asking the server to hold the mayo or cheese.
Whenever we buy food, we're casting a powerful vote with our money. There's even an argument for vegans to eat out at places that have predominantly been … Read more.

The logical idea: Designated hitter in both parks
To make the first idea fair, MLB needs to implement this one. Don't punish the AL by making its pitchers hit. Give NL fans a chance to see the DH in their home parks a few times a season.
If these games are going to count for home field, there can be no sign of league bias.
This guy just keeps coming up with dumber and dumber things each week.
He must be the only guy who thinks the DH should be used in both leagues.
I hate that guy.

Recent news about the health of the distinguished journalist, Tom Brokaw, has focused attention on multiple myeloma, a malignant disease of the bone marrow. Myeloma is characterized by an uncontrolled growth of marrow plasma cells, which normally produce antibodies for our immune system. In its advanced stages, the overgrowth of these cells and their associated proteins can cause anemia, painful bone destruction, and kidney failure.
Until about 10 years ago, advanced myeloma was uniformly fatal with a typical survival of about 3 years. Recent years, however, have seen a remarkable improvement in treatment possibilities for myeloma. This began with the discovery that autologous stem cell transplantation could produce complete remissions and longer survival. In addition, a variety of chemotherapy drugs administered in combination with corticosteroid drugs, now produce responses in up to 80% of patients. This means about 80% of patients are surviving longer than 3 years after chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplant.
Not all patients with myeloma require chemotherapy. Myeloma can exist in an early stage for years. This is called smoldering myeloma. Chromosome analysis is routinely done on myeloma cells and allows us to identify patients with more aggressive forms of the disease, and those requiring treatment due to signs of organ damage or bone pain.
The Swedish Cancer Institute has been a participant in clinical trials leading to the development of some of the effective new treatments for myeloma. We are currently participating in a study of pomalidomide, a newly approved agent, for patients with relapsed myeloma. Another study offers an investigational drug, MLN9708, for newly diagnosed patients.
While the new drugs are more effective and better tolerated than previous chemotherapy, all ...

5 things to know about cancer screenings
How do we find early cancers?
Some cancer screenings can be done yourself at home at essentially no cost or risk. This includes regular self-examination of the breasts, testicles and skin. Home fecal occult blood testing can also be done to screen for colorectal cancer. Additional information on cancer screening and self-examinations can be found on websites such as www.cancer.org or www.webmd.com.
Other screening requires medical interventions. There is good evidence that well-targeted screening saves lives. However, screening tests such as mammography, colonoscopy and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) are ...

Cleanfire® engines with semi-direct injection (SDI) deliver outstanding throttle response and instant acceleration. These engines also deliver impressive fuel economy in real-world riding situations, which for Polaris riders, means aggressive, up-tempo riding, not low-rpm lab conditions.
For years, the coupled skid was believed to be the best performing skid available. We felt differently. We moved the shock outside the skid frame. Developed the first truly progressive-rate suspension. Virtually eliminates spine-tinglers. The progressive-rate suspension with its resistance to bottoming, allows us to run an uncoupled rail with great weight transfer and a more fun ride
The RUSH® is built on the proven PRO-RIDE™ chassis that is 300% stiffer for precise, intuitive handling. The ideal choice for a nimble handling sled that's perfect for tight trails or rough trails.
This liquid-cooled Cleanfire® engine with semi-direct injection (SDI) deliver outstanding throttle response and instant acceleration. These powerful, efficient engines produce the impressive power-to-weight ratios that deep snow riders demand. Cleanfire® engines start easily and reliably and they calibrate automatically as the temperature and elevation change. These engines deliver impressive fuel economy in real-world riding situations, which, for Polaris riders, means aggressive, up-tempo riding, not low-rev lab conditions.
Premium shocks with 16-position compression adjusters and remote reservoirs offer the best in tunability and fade-proof performance. Unique needle design uses hydraulic force at the end of the stroke to eliminate harsh bottoming.
Unbeatable combination of PRO-RIDE™ steering and patented variable caster design eliminates bump steer. Lighter steering, sharper cornering. Developed in conjunction with the Polaris Racing program. Its performance and durability were proven in extensive on- and off-track testing, and the new IFS delivers significantly enhanced handling with flatter, more precise cornering and 20% reduced steering effort.
Anticipate and respond to any trail condition or obstacle using body input to affect your sled. Slide back on the seat for serious weight transfer, slide forward to set the front end for cornering with maximum bite. You're in control not the terrain.
The PRO-STEER ski features a reshaped keel and shortened skag for reduced steering effort. Redesigned ribs atop the ski increase torsional stiffness for more precise steering, and bosses added atop the ribs provide traction to prevent slipping when a rider steps on the ski in deep snow.
A wider surface right where a rider plants for seated riding provides enhanced comfort during long days on the snow, and the seat design allows easy transition between seated and standing positions.
The one-piece handlebar features clean, durable construction. It enhances ergonomics with full-length grips that improve comfort and control, and the heater elements extend to the ends of the bar for greater hand comfort.
A redesigned throttle block and a separate kill switch perch that can be positioned independently for improved ergos and ability to tailor your controls.
The silencer has been designed to keep noise levels and overall weight in check.

The Macna Lunar Women's Motorcycle Jacket offers the same comfort and protection features found in Macna mens motorcycle jackets, including detachable waterproof and thermal liners, venting, and impact protection. The Lunar jacket is the upper-priced option in the Macna women's line of motorcycle jackets, offering a long list of features that rival the men's high-end Geo jacket.
Women often have to settle for less-than-ideal riding gear. Manufacturers tend to favor comfort and style over durability and protection. Not so with Macna women's motorcycle riding gear. The Lunar motorcycle jacket is a high quality garment that provides both excellent comfort and protection, but with a close eye on style and fit. The Macna Lunar jacket also features a form-fitting cut, adjustable waist, and arm straps for a custom fit and flattering appearance.
Macna is known for making riding gear that keeps out the elements, while managing to not be bulky. The Lunar jacket features a multiple-layered liner system with an inner membrane for moisture control and a thermal liner for cold weather comfort. The Macna Lunar motorcycle jacket also has a ton of convenience features too, including the innovative, user-friendly "Easy Cuff" system for connecting those inner liners to the outer shell.
The Lunar features a detachable collar / front panel that reveals a large 3D mesh panel for ultimate ventilation.
Not only is the Macna Lunar jacket comfortable, but it is also top-shelf in the protection department. Four different abrasion-resistant fabrics are used to construct the shell. "Superfabric" in critical areas, and "Powertector" CE armor provides the protection you need in all the right places. A CE level 2 back protector upgrade is available to replace the standard back protector for even more protection.
Macna is big on "safety through conspicuity", with "Side Eye" reflective material that is laminated for an integrated, smooth look and feel. Also available is a high-viz Vision Vest that integrates with any of the Macna jackets.
The Macna Lunar motorcycle jacket is among the best jackets available for comfort in all conditions without sacrificing protection.
Womens Lunar motorcycle jacket features
Side Eye Laminated reflective parts at the front and back upper parts of the jacket, with the emphasis on the side |
Vision Vest Prepared Integrated preparation for mounting a Macna Visibility Vest |
