THIS salad is surprisingly flavorful and light, a refreshing change from a mayonnaise-based dressing. There is a nice contrast of textures and it's very easy to make. It can be adjusted to the number of people served.

- 1 plum tomato, diced
- 1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons sliced ripe olives
- 1 green onion, chopped
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/4 cup Italian salad dressing
- Cook pasta according to package directions; drain and rinse in cold water. Place pasta in a bowl; add tomato, mushrooms, olives, onion and garlic. Add dressing and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate until serving. Yield: 2 servings.

Dynamo Reserve Schedule Shuffled
The Houston Dynamo announced today that Friday's reserve match against Real Salt Lake has been cancelled. In addition, the reserve game against Chicago on September 10th has been rescheduled to Saturday, October 13th. I was looking forward to this Friday's match because their was a possibility that the newest member of the Dynamo, Giles Barnes, could see his first action if all his paperwork was completed. We'll keep you posted on his eligibility so stay tuned to the site for more information. The Houston Dynamo Reserves will continue their season in Utah against the Real Salt Lake Reserves on Wednesday, October 10th. Houston currently sits in first place in the Central/Mountain Division, posting a 5-1-1 record with 16 points in 2012.

LAKE CLEAR — A federal grant will allow terminal expansion to move forward at Adirondack Regional Airport.
The project has been in a holding pattern for several years.
On Monday, Sens. Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand and Congressman Bill Owens announced $967,110 in U.S. Department of Transportation grant funding to expand the terminal in Lake Clear.
The update will add room to the security-gate area to meet Transportation Security Agency (TSA) safety standards.
Adirondack Airport is operated by the Town of Harrietstown.
Town Supervisor Bob Bevilacqua said in an interview on Monday that the funding comes as great news, especially for area residents and air travelers.
"It's fantastic. This is something we really need in order to expand the terminal, which is too small to handle even the number of passengers on Cape Air flights," he said.
"The airport needs more room for TSA security equipment, and we need to expand the terminal in order to achieve that."
For the past year, the design and plans to add about 30 feet to the eastern edge of the terminal have been developed in conjunction with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), he said.
"Last year, the FAA gave us the approval to design the space to meet TSA's needs, the airport's needs and the traveling public's needs," Bevilacqua said.
Improvements will include additional restrooms inside the security clearance area. At this point, people who have been screened for air travel have to go through the process again after using restrooms elsewhere in the building.
Space is also tight for families waiting for people to arrive and depart.
"It will be really nice to get this work done," Bevilacqua said.
Some preliminary work on the terminal expansion will likely begin before the year is out.
But Corey Hurwitch, Adirondack Airport manager, expects the bulk of it will be started in the spring.

KSP Offers Safe Driving Tips For Thanksgiving Holiday
Date of News Release: 11/16/2010
(Frankfort, Ky.) (Nov. 17, 2010) -- According to the American Automobile Association, approximately 39.7 million motorists will hit the road during the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday, a 12 percent increase from 2009. To help keep Kentucky's roads safe, the Kentucky State Police will be boosting its road patrols and operating safety checkpoints throughout the Commonwealth beginning at 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 24 and ending at 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 28. Coordinating enforcement efforts with local police and sheriff's offices, KSP troopers and Commercial Vehicle Enforcement officers will cast a vast safety net designed to save lives.
"Higher traffic volumes, combined with increased numbers of out-of-state visitors traveling to or through the state, have the potential to produce added risk for highway travel," says KSP Commissioner Rodney Brewer. "Last year, there were 1,113 motor vehicle crashes on Kentucky roadways during the four-day Thanksgiving holiday period. Eight people died and 325 were injured."
"These are tragic and needless deaths," he adds. "I urge all motorists to protect themselves and their fellow travelers by practicing the following simple, safe driving tips."
- Don't drink and drive. Kentucky has a zero tolerance policy regarding driving while impaired by alcohol. Violators risk immediate arrest even for first time offenders.
- Buckle up. This is one of the most effective methods to protect against injury or death in a motor vehicle crash. State law makes the driver responsible for assuring that all vehicle occupants are properly restrained.
- Use approved child restraints. Kentucky law requires that all children 40 inches in height or less be buckled into a child safety seat that meets federal standards. Children more than 40 inches tall must wear a seat belt.
- Slow down and obey speed limits. Studies show that higher travel speeds are responsible for a significant increase in highway traffic deaths.
- Get enough sleep. Sleep deprivation and fatigue can cause lapses in attention, slowed awareness and impaired judgment.
- Be extra cautious around large trucks. These vehicles have large blind spots and much longer stopping distances than passenger cars.
- Don't tailgate. Follow other vehicles at a safe distance.
- Expect the unexpected. Watch traffic around your vehicle and be prepared to react. Scan the road ahead for potential hazards such as other vehicles and road debris.
- Take extra care on rural roads with 55 mile per hour speed limits.
- Avoid in-car distractions such as cell phone use, changing CDs, channel surfing or eating or drinking.
- Take frequent breaks to keep alert during long distance trips.
- Be extra alert around construction zones.
"Three out of four vehicle crashes happen within 25 miles of home at speeds of 45 miles per hour or less," notes Brewer. "About 40 percent of all fatal crashes occur on roads where the speed limit is 30 miles per hour or less."
"Thanksgiving is about family," he adds. "Staying focused and alert while operating a motor vehicle is essential to protect yourself and others and to ensure that we all arrive safely to our loved ones. It's the best holiday gift you can give."
Motorists can contribute to highway safety during the holiday period by reporting erratic, impaired or speeding drivers to the KSP toll-free hotline at 1-800-222-5555. Indications that a driver might be impaired include weaving, swerving, drifting or straddling the center line; driving on the wrong side of the road; driving at inconsistent speeds; stopping without cause or braking erratically; ignoring or responding slowly to traffic lights; driving too close to curbs and driving at night with no lights. Callers will remain anonymous and should be prepared to give a description of the vehicle, direction of travel and license number if possible.

CLOVIS, N.M. (AP) - A Clovis woman convicted of charges related to a deadly crash that killed one man and injured four other people has been sentenced to 18 years in prison.
District Attorney Matthew Chandler says Guadalupe Flores was sentenced Friday. She must also serve five years of supervised probation and pay restitution.
She was convicted of second-degree murder and five counts of third-degree aggravated battery with a deadly weapon during a trial in September.
In February 2011, Flores used her car to run her boyfriend's SUV off the road following an argument. Flores had rear ended the SUV multiple times and the final collision caused the vehicle to flip.
A crash reconstruction expert from the Clovis Police Department estimated the final impact at about 82 mph.
Passenger Brandon Vann was killed, while Flores' boyfriend and three others were injured.

Voter Review of Water Reservoirs
To the Mayor and City Council of Rochester Hills, As a voter and taxpayer of Rochester Hills, I am in strong opposition to the construction two, 3 million gallon water reservoirs in our City with a projected cost of a minimum of $14 million until: 1) The current water ordinance has been enforced and results of enforcement have been analyzed; 2) A review is conducted of the effective strategies that other neighboring municipalities, including Troy, have implemented; 3) Water rates are re-negotiated (to current usage) with Detroit; 4) A comprehensive, financial evaluation of the construction of the reservoirs is completed 5) A series of community forums are held to address the concerns of City residents. As a concerned citizen, I request that the Water Reservoir Project be stopped until the actions noted above are completed.

THE TUNNEL Texas vs. OU:
I've posted this before and I felt it was necessary to share with everybody again. It's from my friend's dad who was good friends with the football player who wrote this. Enjoy and just remember, ou sucks!
I've experienced the walk down the Cotton Bowl ramp/tunnel first as a young ball boy for many years and then as a player in three Texas-OU games. The emotions and excitement cannot be adequately described in simple words; I have multi-level goose bumps as I type this & it's been 30-something years since I last made that walk as a player. This is how it used to be back before trash talk in the tunnel was in vogue; I remember this as how my final trip down that ramp as a player felt...:
When you're given the final word by the TV guy to leave the locker room and head down the short flight of steps to the top of the tunnel, you step out into a surreal, confusing world of childish taunts and inverted "Hook-ems" being hurled from the walkway above...stadium security personnel in cheap windbreakers and several members of the Dallas P.D. man the long tarp-covered gate behind you...you recognize a couple of the motorcycle cops that led the police escort through the streets of Dallas a couple of hours ago; an officer smiles as he gives you a quick salute and a "Hook Em". You return the salute and mouth a quick, "Thank you" to the officer.
We're told by the TV guy to wait at the top of the ramp...there's no breeze...it's hot... Someone steps out of a black limo just outside the gate and is quickly escorted by Texas DPS troopers through the gathering and hurried down the ramp. Must be the governor or a senator...or Willie himself...you can't really see over the glare of all the glistening white helmets shining in the October sunshine. The smell of diesel fumes, horse crap, and fried food wafts through the air, mingling with the sulfur smell of residue from the Ruf-Neks' shotguns and Smokey's pre-game cannon shots. You can always smell the State Fair.
The ticket less, orange-clad well-wishers behind the chain-link gate, trying to get a quick look or a finger shake from a player or coach are the only friendly voices you hear at that end of the Cotton Bowl.
"Get after 'em, Darrell!"
"Go Horns!" "
Anybody got a ticket?!"
"Can I have your chinstrap?"
No "OU sucks" chants; these were the days before that sentiment became the norm. Strangely, above the yelling, the dull din of bus engines, police motorcycles, and the screaming siren from a ride over on the Midway, you can hear the clicking of the candy wrapping machines in the Salt-Water Taffy booth just across the walkway beyond the gate...
You've been taught to keep your focus...look toward the light at the bottom of the tunnel as you move slowly downhill...you're wedged so tightly together that your feet are barely touching the ribbed, dirty concrete below. It's like you're slowly floating down the ramp suspended among your fellow team members. You're in the shade of the tunnel now, beneath the stomping, screaming Sooner fans in the south end of the stadium. It's cooler, but you're having trouble catching your breath.
You can't help but steal a glance at your opponents as they assemble and begin to move down the ramp on the opposite side. You've seen them all through pre-game warm-ups, exchanged subdued good luck wishes to a misguided former high school teammate that wandered across the Red River, but suddenly, this instant is etched forever in your mind. The crimson helmets with the white interlocked "OU" really piss you off at this moment and the bile rises in the back of your throat...you feel...like...you might...lose your steak and scrambled eggs you ate four hours before in the quiet banquet room at the Hilton Inn. You don't want to puke on your facemask...or on your teammate's back. Instead of letting the remnants of your pre-game meal fly, you choke it back and begin to yell out an unintelligible guttural sound...your teammates join in and the sound reverberates in your helmet....your mouth is dry...your chest is pounding...all of a sudden, your uniform is too tight...you feel enormous...you think of a cup of ice water... a huge ground swell of noise begins to engulf you as you move closer to the light...louder and louder...you're glad you have your helmet on, not because you think that one of those over served, jeering Okies will lob a half-eaten Fletcher's Corny Dog at you, but you feel secure and impervious when you manage to reach your hand up and snap your chin strap snugly as you move into the sunlight at the bottom of the ramp. You realize then how much you've been sweating as the swirling breeze on the floor of the stadium finally gets to the back of your neck and cools you ever so slightly. The roaring sound echoing in your helmet reaches what you think to be a crescendo as the TV guy tries to hold back your screaming, snarling teammates...You look around and the sudden reality hits you: this is IT. This is the last time you'll ever experience this feeling as a player in what you have grown up knowing as the greatest football contest in the universe. You may get a chance to walk the ramp again, but not wearing this uniform...with these guys...against those guys.
Tears well in your eyes, a huge lump rises in your throat as you begin to hear curses being hurled at the TV guy to let you go; just let us run out on that crappy artificial turf now! You hear TV Guy yell something about the World Series game being nearly over and to just hold on for one more minute and one of your larger teammates instructs TV Guy to perform a physically impossible task with a baseball. We surge forward; frenzied and frothing...I look toward Coach Royal who has appeared just to my left...he looks to be alone in his thoughts. His jaw is set...he has to hear the taunts of, "Traitor!" and the like directed his way...I feel more contempt for the red-clad fans leering over the tunnel walls as they wave red and white pompons at my coach's face. I wish the fat woman would fall over the wall as she screams, "Darrell, you ain't sheeyit!" He is perturbed at the delay...he gives us a simple nod....the human dam breaks; TV Guy is left to fend for himself. He may have been trampled; we don't really care at this point. Smokey sounds out a huge cannon blast; a perfect smoke circle rises above the sweltering field. You imagine a football sailing right through the center of the white smoke circle as you see it emblazoned against the clear, blue North Texas sky. You hear the band playing "Texas Fight" at what seems like an impossibly fast tempo and an ungodly loud volume in your helmet. You run. Your teammates are jumping all over you.
You may cry.
You aren't alone.
The swelling noise is louder than ever and you get to run out into that sunlight one last time. You'll never get to feel that way again. Hook 'em.

There were three black gowns on the red carpet yesterday evening at Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California, where the 2013 Critics' Choice Movie Awards took place.
Jaime King's Jason Wu Pre-Fall 2013 gown was my favourite of them all, proving that black doesn't have to be boring.
Her black semi-sheer strappy gown with a plunging neckline and featuring a central slit was accented with a leather belt with gold-link accents.
Channelling Old Hollywood with a vampy twist, the actress styled her look with wavy golden tresses swept to one side and a bold red lip colour.
Christian Louboutin black 'Pigalle' pumps, David Webb jewels, and a Jill Milan clutch provided the finishing touches.

Chef on the Rise — David Gopie
Junior Sous Chef/Butcher, The Jewel Dunn's River Resort & Spa
"For me, every day is a learning experience and I want to learn," David Gopie shares. The mild-mannered Gopie is a junior sous chef and butcher at The Jewel Dunn's River Resort and at 43, he's enthusiastic about furthering himself in the food industry. "I would want to move on to a position where my work would involve taking on administrative tasks," he tells us over lunch at the hotel's Court Jesters pizzeria.
It's been a rather eventful life for Gopie. He divulges that after a hardscrabble upbringing, moving from one parish to the next as a child, he landed a job at L&M Meats in Salem, St Ann at age 21, following sporadic construction site odd jobs. "It was washing up, cleaning the floors and cleaning the machine, but I would always pay attention to the butchers at work," he notes. "Then one day, the supervisor said he was going to give me a chance on the table. I went there and started to cut the meat and he asked me how I knew what to do and I explained that I always observed what was happening," Gopie says. The supervisor gave the would-be butcher a book to read and in no time, Gopie was in the shop cutting and carving meat.
He moved onto Braco Village Resort where, he says, he learnt the hotel aspect of butchery, and then transitioned to being head butcher at Jamaica Grande Sunset Resorts.
"I always say the kitchen starts from the storeroom, and to me the butcher shop is like the engine room on a ship, without it, a kitchen sometimes doesn't make sense," Gopie rationalises.
At Jamaica Grande, he would cross paths with executive chef Ravi-Anne, who was impressed and saw inherent potential within Gopie that the butcher himself was not fully cognisant of.
Ravi-Anne would bring Gopie to work alongside him at his next two jobs at Half Moon Hotel and his current posting at The Jewel on the strength of his butchery skills.
Today, Gopie is expanding his skill set and has taken on additional culinary know-how. "Right now I am working in the hotel's Platinum restaurant where I've come in and learnt all the stations, from how to do the vegetables, appetiszers, soups and sauces. To me, it's a great achievement," the smiling rising chef notes. We are hard impressed not to agree.

HIV Transmission
March 25, 2010
Are patients in a health care setting at risk of getting HIV?
Although HIV transmission is possible in health care settings, it is extremely rare. Medical experts emphasize that the careful practice of infection control procedures, including universal precautions (i.e., using protective practices and personal protective equipment to prevent HIV and other blood-borne infections), protects patients as well as health care providers from possible HIV transmission in medical and dental offices and hospitals.
For more information on preventing occupational exposure to HIV, refer to the CDC fact sheet, "Preventing Occupational HIV Transmission to Healthcare Personnel."
In 1990, the CDC reported on an HIV-infected dentist in Florida who apparently infected some of his patients while doing dental work. Studies of viral DNA sequences linked the dentist to six of his patients who were also HIV-infected. The CDC has not yet been able to establish how the transmission took place. No additional studies have found any evidence of transmission from provider to patient in health care settings.
CDC has documented rare cases of patients contracting HIV in health care settings from infected donor tissue. Most of these cases occurred due to failures in following universal precautions and infection control guidelines. Most also occurred early in the HIV epidemic, before established screening procedures were in place.
For more information, see "Are health care workers at risk of getting HIV on the job?" or visit the health care worker section of the CDC National Prevention Information Network (NPIN) Web site, or call NPIN at 1-800-458-5231.
Have people been infected with HIV from being stuck by needles in non-health care settings?
No. While it is possible to get infected with HIV if you are stuck with a needle that is contaminated with HIV, there are no documented cases of transmission outside of a health-care setting.
CDC has received inquiries about used needles left by HIV-infected injection drug users in coin return slots of pay phones, the underside of gas pump handles, and on movie theater seats. Some reports have falsely indicated that CDC "confirmed" the presence of HIV in the needles. CDC has not tested such needles nor has CDC confirmed the presence or absence of HIV in any sample related to these rumors. The majority of these reports and warnings appear to be rumors/myths.
CDC was informed of one incident in Virginia of a needle stick from a small-gauge needle (believed to be an insulin needle) in a coin return slot of a pay phone and a needle found in a vending machine that did not cause a needle-stick injury. There was an investigation by the local police and health department and there was no report of anyone contracting an infectious disease from these needles.
Discarded needles are sometimes found in the community. These needles are believed to have been discarded by persons who use insulin or inject illicit drugs. Occasionally the public and certain workers (e.g. sanitation workers or housekeeping staff) may sustain needle-stick injuries involving inappropriately discarded needles. Needle-stick injuries can transfer blood and blood-borne pathogens (e.g., hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and HIV), but the risk of transmission is extremely low and there are no documented cases of transmission outside of a health care setting.
CDC does not recommend routinely testing discarded needles to assess the presence or absence of infectious agents in the needles. Management of exposed persons should be done on a case-by-case basis to determine (1) the risk of a blood-borne pathogen infection in the source and (2) the nature of the injury. Anyone who is injured from a needle-stick in a community setting should contact their health-care provider or go to an emergency room as soon as possible. Antiretroviral medications given shortly after being stuck by a needle infected with HIV can reduce the risk of HIV infection. The health-care provider should then report the injury to the local or state health department. Guidance on non-occupational exposure can be found at Antiretroviral Postexposure Prophylaxis After Sexual, Injection-Drug Use, or Other Nonoccupational Exposure to HIV in the United States.
Are lesbians or other women who have sex with women at risk for HIV?
Female-to-female transmission of HIV appears to be a rare occurrence. However, there are case reports of female-to-female transmission of HIV. The well-documented risk of female-to-male transmission of HIV shows that vaginal secretions and menstrual blood may contain the virus and that mucous membrane (e.g., oral, vaginal) exposure to these secretions has the potential to lead to HIV infection.
In order to reduce the risk of HIV transmission, women who have sex with women should do the following:
For more information, refer to "HIV/AIDS among Women Who Have Sex with Women."
Can I get HIV from getting a tattoo or through body piercing?
A risk of HIV transmission does exist if instruments contaminated with blood are either not sterilized or disinfected or are used inappropriately between clients. CDC recommends that single-use instruments intended to penetrate the skin be used once, then disposed of. Reusable instruments or devices that penetrate the skin and/or contact a client's blood should be thoroughly cleaned and sterilized between clients.
View the CDC fact sheet on the sterilization of patient-care equipment and HIV (from the CDC Division of Healthcare Quality Promotion Web site).
Personal service workers who do tattooing or body piercing should be educated about how HIV is transmitted and take precautions to prevent transmission of HIV and other blood-borne infections in their settings.
If you are considering getting a tattoo or having your body pierced, ask staff at the establishment what procedures they use to prevent the spread of HIV and other blood-borne infections, such as the hepatitis B virus. You also may call the local health department to find out what sterilization procedures are in place in the local area for these types of establishments.
Visit the CDC Web site for links to the 50 U.S. state health departments.
Can HIV be transmitted by kissing?
It depends on the type of kissing. There is no risk from closed-mouth kissing.
There are extremely rare cases of HIV being transmitted via deep "French" kissing but in each case, infected blood was exchanged due to bleeding gums or sores in the mouth. Because of this remote risk, it is recommended that individuals who are HIV-infected avoid deep, open-mouth "French" kissing with a non-infected partner, as there is a potential risk of transferring infected blood. Summary:
This article was provided by U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Visit the CDC's website to find out more about their activities, publications and services.

Silent Witness is offering a reward up to $1,000 for information leading to the arrest and convictions of two suspects behind a string of Mesa thefts.
Surveillance images show a man and woman inside a Walmart store in Gilbert. Police hope someone recognizes them and can help identify them.
The two were in the store using stolen credit cards, police said. Those card were linked to a series of thefts last year at a senior living facility called Fellowship Square at 6945 E. Main St. in Mesa.
At least 27 thefts of jewelry, cash and credit cards were reported there last year, amounting to about $50,000 in losses.
Police said they believe someone connected to Fellowship Square now or in the past may be responsible for the thefts.
Other wanted fugitives:
Police also need help locating 32-year-old Jason Harris. He is 5'10" tall and weighs 200 pounds. He has black hair and brown eyes. He is wanted for violating probation after failing to register as a sex offender.
There's also a warrant out for the arrest of 46-year-old Michael Gallup. He is 5'7" tall and weighs 170 pounds. He, too, is accused of violating probation after a charge of attempted child molestation.
Anyone with information about the two fugitives is asked to call Silent Witness at 480-WITNESS OR 480-TESTIGO.

Create New Qt Quick Application project.
Had a hard time understanding that I should edit the MainPage.qml and not the main.qml. I'm a total noob.
Added a symbian text editor to my main page.
Took me a while to realize I have to install qt components SIS file to get it working on the device.
Eventually got it working.
Input some random text enough to trigger the scroll. Can do nice kinetic scroll. Try to grab the scroll bar: KERN-EXEC 3. Took me like 10s to get my HelloQuick application crashing.
Looks like Quick is really going to be working for Belle right? It does look really good though.
Can I get a Quick Widget in the C++ code to dynamically customize it? Say can I get a QTextEditor from my Quick page?

ASHA is partnering with organizations around the world in putting a special focus on sexual health during the month of September. The World Association for Sexual Health (WAS) is launching its fourth annual World Sexual Health Day observance on September 4th, for example, and in support ASHA will offer activities throughout the month that include blogs, surveys, downloadable fact sheets, and more.
During September, ASHA will offer expanded sexual health resources that include fact sheets, interviews, questions and answers from our panel of experts, and perspectives on sexual health from a diverse group of voices in the field.
In 1999, the World Association for Sexual Health (WAS) proclaimed the Declaration of Sexual Rights that cover (among others) our rights to sexual freedom, safely, equality, and pleasure. This landmark declaration recognizes that sexuality and sexual health are fundamental to all humans; fittingly, the theme for WSHD 2013 is: To achieve sexual health, picture yourself owning your sexual rights.
For insight into the state of sexual rights in the U.S. and beyond we turned to Dr. Eli Coleman, who is a professor and Director of the Program in Human Sexuality at the University of Minnesota Medical School.
Since the WAS Declaration of Sexual Rights was adopted nearly 15 years ago, how would you describe the progress made with sexual rights?
I think we have made quite a bit of progress. First of all, the WAS Declaration has been quoted all over the world. The International Planned Parenthood adopted a similar declaration in 2008 - obviously influenced by the WAS declaration. There has been extensive work at the World Health Organization (WHO) on sexual rights ...

African-Americans represent approximately 12% of the U.S. population, but account for nearly half of all new HIV cases. Why are HIV rates so stunningly high in a relatively small segment of the populace? Dr. Robert Fulilove argues that a key factor driving the epidemic is mass incarceration of young black men, which upsets the sexual dynamics between men and women in African-American communities. In this presentation given as part of TEDMED Day at Columbia University Medical Center, Dr. Fullilove explains that since the 1970s, the war on drugs has had devastating effects on poor communities of color by depriving them of their young men.
Dr. Fulilove is Associate Dean for Community and Minority Affairs, and Professor of Clinical Sociomedical Sciences at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health. He also serves on ASHA's Board of Directors.
"The U.S. is 5% of the world's population, yet we house 25% of all the world's prisoners. The war on drugs began a phenomenon of mass incarceration. It's estimated that since 1972, drug-related arrests have increased by a factor of three…38% of all inmates doing time in state or federal prisons are African-American."
"Mass incarceration did more to destroy family life in the community; did more to destroy the community's capacity to develop the kind of collective efficacy that we depend on when we build public health interventions, that it should be no surprise that their loss to the community ultimately paved the way for the creation of a niche for HIV in the community that we are still struggling to deal with."
--Dr. Robert Fulilove
"We know that cancer profoundly affects every aspect of life but one particular area that is often overlooked is its impact on sexual health."
It's probably not the first think that comes to mind when you think about cancer but the impact on sexual function can be dramatic, especially for women undergoing treatment for cervical and other gynecologic cancers. In this Q&A, Dr. Mamta Singhvi talks about common sexual health issues that arise for women with gynecologic cancers and offers some solutions. She also explains that health care providers, patients, and partners all have a role in the process.
Mamta Singhvi, MD, is a resident in Radiation Oncology with the UCLA Health System and a member of ASHA's Board of Directors.
What kind of physical changes might occur with cervical cancer treatment that can make sex and intimacy challenging?
We know that cancer profoundly affects every aspect of life but one particular area that is often overlooked is its impact on sexual health. A significant percentage of women who survive a pelvic malignancy, including cervical cancer, develop long term sexual affects. Depending on the type of treatment administered, new sexual issues may develop during therapy, soon after completion, or even months to years later. These can include orgasmic problems and painful intercourse due to reduced vaginal size, or a lack of adequate lubrication.

Kissin' Cousins
What's that? A honey bee and a male yellowjacket on the same blossom?
That's exactly what we saw Nov. 14 at the Häagen-Dazs Honey Bee Haven, located next to the Harry H. Laidlaw Jr. Honey Bee Research Facility on Bee Biology Road, University of California, Davis.
Honey bees and yellowjackets belong to the same order, Hymenoptera, but different families. The honey bee (Apis mellifera) is in the Apidae family, while the yellowjacket, Vespula pensylvanica, belongs to the family, Vespidae.
When beekeepers open the hives at the adjacent Laidlaw facility, trouble can start between the honey bees and the yellowjackets. It's no secret that female yellowjackets establish their nests near apiaries to prey upon honey bees and their brood. They need the protein for their offspring.
But here they were--the honey bee and the yellowjacket--together.
The first occupant: the honey bee. She began foraging on a rose blossom when suddenly a male western yellowjacket approached her. Seemingly unaware of his presence, she kept foraging. He poked her with his antennae. She ignored him. He crawled up next to her and took a close look at her. She kept foraging.
A few seconds later, he left.
Native pollinator specialist Robbin Thorp, emeritus professor of entomology at UC Davis, later commented: "I can't help but wonder why the male yellowjacket was visiting a rose flower--no nectar there, so no reward for him."
"Maybe he was just checking out the other occupant 'while searching for love in all the wrong places.' "
Indeed, the male yellowjacket may have been looking for a suitable mate.
This one? Definitely not suitable!

Hanging Out to Get In
They're here. They're there.
The Western yellowjacket (Vespula pensylvanica) likes to hang around bee hives.
If you're a beekeeper, you've probably seen them nesting in a rodent burrow or hollow log near your hives.
At the Harry H. Laidlaw Jr. Honey Bee Research Facility at the University of California, Davis, yellowjackets currently occupy two rodent holes a few feet from the hives. To mark the spot, beekeeper and research associate Elizabeth Frost placed a brick over each nest (see photo below).
The yellowjackets are not welcome.
Members of the Vespula genus are "the most abundant and troublesome wasps in California," according to scientists Jerry A. Powell and the late Charles L. Hogue in their book, California Insects, published by the University of California Press.
"The voracious workers attack everything in the vicinity, from resting insects to pieces of hamburgers on the picnic table," they noted, and "the colonies may become very large by late summer or fall."
Bee breeder-geneticist Susan Cobey, who divides her time between UC Davis and Washington State University, agrees that yellowjackets "can be a big problem. I've seen them kill hives."
Cobey says she's fighting them now in Island County, Washington. "I have only 10 colonies, but these are special--the imports (for bee research). The wasps are always hanging around the entrance harassing the bees."
"I've had to move hives at times because the invasion was decimating the bee population," she said. "They go for the thorax (meat). They especially like the drones being kicked out of the hives in the fall--big and juicy. This is an easy dinner so then they start going in the hives and taking workers."
One way to counter the yellowjacket invasions is to "reduce the size of the entrance so the bees can protect themselves." Also, beekeepers must "keep the hives strong and healthy--yellowjackets pick on the weak."
To decrease the yellowjacket population, beekeepers bait traps in the summer "as the reproductives come out," Cobey says.
Since yellowjackets are meat eaters and honey bees are not--you can use cat food with the bait.
"But the bait must be protected from other critters," Cobey cautions. "You can put in it an empty beehive with a very small entrance."
(Note: Postdoctoral scholar Erin Wilson of the Louie Yang lab, UC Davis Department of Entomology, will speak from 12:10 to 1 p.m., Wednesday, Dec. 1 in 122 Briggs on how yellowjackets are wreaking havoc in Hawaii. Listen live at http://uc-d.na4.acrobat.com/ucsn1/. The seminar later will be archived.)
Emerging from Hole
Seeing Yellow (and Black)
You want to make sure that Mr. and Mrs. Yellowjacket and all their offspring--plus nephews, nieces, uncles, aunts, cousins and assorted other relatives--aren't on the invite list.
And if you're a beekeeper, you don't want them killing your honey bees. "They pull the bees off at the entrance, dismember them and fly away with the parts--generally the head--to feed to their larvae," said Extension apiculturist Eric Mussen (right) of the UC Davis Department of Entomology.
Indeed, these predatory insects can be a major problem this time of the year.
When Mussen addressed the Santa Clara County Beekeeping Guild on Monday, Oct. 4, he asked the 60 attendees: "How many of you have had significant problems with yellowjackets?"
About eight hands shot up.
What to do?
"It was around a decade ago that we lost the use of flowable microencapsulated diazinon (Knox Out 2FM^® ) as a yellowjacket bait poison," Mussen said in a message he also shared today with the UC Davis Department of Entomology. "As long as the wasps did not taste it, they would take the contaminated bait back to the nests and share it with their brood and other adults. It was amazing! Often in 48 hours the colonies were out of business and the area was clear of yellowjackets."
Recently, a new microencapsulated product, Onslaught^® , containing esfenvalerate, has come on the market to be mixed into yellowjacket baits, Mussen said. Formulating the bait is the same as it was with diazinon--about 1/4 teaspoonful of the insecticide in about 12 ounces of the bait.
Yellowjackets are attracted to many odorous potential foods when their prey runs out and they turn to scavenging, said Mussen, adding that the chemical seems quite a draw when it's mixed with canned, fish-based cat food.
"Try a couple samples of cat food without insecticide to see which product is most attractive to your local yellowjacket population. Then place about three ounces of formulated bait in each trap and things should get better fast."
"You can find this product on the web as Alpine Yellowjacket Bait Station Kit. A multi-year supply (one pint) of microencapsulated esfenvalerate and four bait stations--they look like over-sized, plastic prescription bottles with a hole in the side and a string for hanging--will cost about $85 before shipping. Sounds like a lot of money for a small amount of product, but if you need to clear out the yellowjackets in a hurry--wedding reception, fair, outdoor barbecue, your own peace of mind-- this is a good investment."
And don't even think about inserting insecticidal wasp baits in that empty soda bottle lying on the ground near your picnic table. It's illegal to put pesticides, including insecticidal wasp baits, into used food and drink containers.
"The last thing you would want is for someone to accidentally eat or drink your poisoned bait," he said.

Alabama Town Pledges: "No More Shacks!"
City of Anniston Accepts Challenge of Eliminating Poverty Housing By A Specific Date
Anniston, Ala. - August 17, 1998 - The city of Anniston Ala., in partnership with the local affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, became the fourth U.S. city to declare its intention to eliminate all substandard housing.
"The Anniston Initiative" was announced at a town meeting Friday evening, Aug. 14, in the town's City Meeting Center. Led by Habitat for Humanity-Calhoun County, the initiative will mobilize government, business, religious groups and charities to identify all of the dilapidated, poverty housing in Calhoun County and replace it with simple, decent and affordable homes.
With this initiative, Anniston joined Yakima, Wash., Pendleton County, W.V., and Sumter County, Ga., as communities in the United States that are committing to the goal of eliminating substandard housing by a specific date.
"We can do this and we will do this," exclaimed Anniston Mayor Gene Stedham. "We must do this because it is the right thing and the best thing we can do for this city."
Vice Mayor and City Counselor Debra Foster reminded the audience of nearly 300 community and business leaders of the enormity of the task. "This program cannot work unless we all work together. No one in this community can opt out. We all must give, work and sacrifice."
The meeting was attended by representatives from Habitat for Humanity's international headquarters, including its Founder and President Millard Fuller, who was the evening's keynote speaker. In the past 22 years, Habitat has built nearly 70,000 homes, providing housing for some 350,000 people in more than 50 countries around the world.
"Tonight you have made history," declared Fuller, who in 1996 received the Presidential Medal of Freedom for his work with Habitat. "You will look back at this event and say 'I was there' when this community pledged to make Anniston a great place to live for everyone. And the fact is, as great a city as this is, it's not a great place for everyone. Some of your neighbors live in shacks. Most of us pray the Lord's Prayer each week. When we do we say 'thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.' Do you think there are shacks in Heaven? Then you know it's not right that people are living in shacks in Anniston. That's why what you've done tonight–this pledge to eliminate poverty housing–is the right thing to do."
Fuller then congratulated Anniston's civic leaders for their promise. "It's a brave thing for the mayor and the city leaders to stand up in front of your friends and neighbors and the press and make this promise. It's brave because you will be held accountable for the promise. But so will everyone in this room."
Bill Wright, executive director of Habitat-Calhoun County, and Mayor Stedham promised an announcement next spring of the date by which poverty housing will be eliminated in Calhoun County, after both Habitat and the city of Anniston have completed county wide studies and surveys examining the extent of the community's housing needs. Yakima, Wash., has committed to eradicate substandard housing by 2010, Pendleton County, W.V., has the year 2009 as its goal, while Sumter County, Ga., has set 2000 as the target.
Habitat for Humanity International is a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian organization dedicated to eliminating poverty housing worldwide. Habitat brings together people with resources and people in need to build simple, decent, affordable houses. The homes are sold to those in need at no profit, through no-interest loans. Founded in 1976 by Millard Fuller along with his wife Linda, Habitat for Humanity has built nearly 70,000 houses, providing shelter for some 350,000 people worldwide. It has affiliates in every state of the United States and in more than 50 other countries around the world.

activities and attractions in Big Bear Lake San Bernardino Area
Magnificent location at about 7300 ft. altitude, few yards away from
the slopes (winter) and great nature hiking, a stroll away from the
golf course and the zoo (really adorable especially for the kids),
and only 3 miles from the lake with all it has to offer.
It's located in one of the most scenic parts of Big Bear Lake: the
gorgeous upper Moonridge area, in a foresty hill.
You'll be surrounded by the large pine trees, and the lovely forest.
Here in upper Moonridge it's a breathtaking all season wonderland!
In winter we get more snow than other areas of Big Bear, and retain
it, mainly because of our high altitude and thick trees. In summer
you get cool breeze from the mountain.
There is always something to do for everyone, and you'll have a
great time.

CATEGORIES Guest EditorDirector Ron Howard ("Rush," "Apollo 13," "Cocoon," "The Da Vinci Code") is Moviefone's Guest Editor from September 16 - 20. Look for more exclusive videos from him, including his Six-Second Review of "Rush," throughout the week.
When you think about rivalry movies, you normally think about sports. Ron Howard's new movie, "Rush," about a rivalry between two Formula One racecar drivers, falls into that category. However, while making film, the veteran filmmaker found himself going back to a very different type of rivalry flick for inspiration.
"I thought a lot about 'Amadeus,''" said Howard, who considers the film one of his all-time favorite rivalry flicks. "Because, yes, 'Rush' is full of car action and intensity and I wanted to give it that authenticity, but it's also amusing in places, unexpected, and, ultimately, very very emotional and revealing about just human beings and what makes people tick. And that's what made Milos Forman's movie 'Amadeus' so remarkable."
Although the "Amadeus" influence in "Rush" might not seem apparent at first, after you watch the film, you'll realize that a lot of the strength and passion from the 1984 biopic can also be seen in Howard's movie.
Of course, "Amadeus" wasn't the only rivalry movie that the director turned to while making the racecar flick. Check out the video above for more of Howard's favorite movie rivalries, and stay tuned to Moviefone this week for more from Guest Editor Ron Howard.

Re "You get red ink with that popcorn" (Forum, Dec. 12)
Besides Mr. Morain's errors about the Film & TV Tax Credit Program he ignores the point that this is a jobs program. Productions hire hundreds of workers and spends millions that support small businesses. In the first two years of the program, participating productions are estimated to bring $2 billion in direct spending to California, including $740 million in wages paid to "below-the-line" crew (electricians, drivers, etc.) – generating much needed California tax revenues.
Why a tax credit at all? In 2000 a 14 month study determined $10 billion exited the Hollywood film industry due to incentives elsewhere-when three states were offering them. Now 42 states have them. There were certainly some states which wrote poor legislation to begin with and are now revamping their programs. California's new program targets those productions most likely to leave the state.
Ever watch the credits at the end of a film? Those names were mostly Californians; now they're not because incentives elsewhere require you hire their residents in order to get their tax credits. By 2000 almost every American TV movie was shot in Canada. Since 1997, over 36,000 California film jobs disappeared as well as the significant dollars to our local communities from location production. New Mexico legislators aped Canada's success and more by integrating their incentives with their university infrastructure. This includes technical post-production and computer jobs which can start at $65,000.
Productions in the California program are selected by lottery not content. While it's easy to disparage provocative titles like "Walter the Farting Dog" (a noted children's book written by a National Magazine Award winner) - we all have favorite films, cars, or clothes we prefer to buy over others - this does not make a valid argument for ignoring a major industry at risk. Other productions qualifying for tax credits this year include one on Hemingway and for the Hallmark Channel. Because of the lottery, studios don't influence selection process. As written 10% percent of the funds must go to independent films; this year 39% of the selectees are independents.
As for efforts that resulted in this legislation, after nine years of educating Sacramento legislators to the impact of runaway production, stakeholders like union representatives, employers, and film commissioners representing communities all over the state can say this tax credit program was a long time coming, and it is a modest one at that.
Producers, like General Motors, will still make their product SOMEWHERE but if they shoot here the dollars stay here. It's that simple.
