Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART)
A laboratory measurement that determines the percentage of packed red blood cells in a given volume of blood. In women, red blood cells are normally 37-47% of their blood; in men, red blood cells are normally 40-54% of their blood.
Poisonous to the blood or bone marrow.
Haemoglobin (HGB)
The red, iron-based pigment in red blood cells that enables them to transport oxygen; normal haemoglobin values are 14-18 g/dL in men and 12-16 g/dL in women. Normal values in resource-poor countries may be lower.
The rupture of red blood cells.
Hairy Leukoplakia
Oral Hairy Leukoplakia (OHL)
Harm Reduction
A prevention activity that aims to provide services to HIV-infected persons and their sex and needle-sharing partners so they can reduce their risk of infection or, if already infected, prevent transmission of HIV to others. It also seeks to help partners gain earlier access to individualised counselling, HIV testing, medical evaluation, treatment, and other prevention and support services.

Helper/Suppressor Ratio (of T Cells)
T cells are lymphocytes (white blood cells) that are formed in the thymus and are part of the immune system. They have been found to be abnormal in persons with AIDS. The normal ratio of helper T cells (also known as CD4+ T cells) to suppressor T cells (also known as CD8+ T cells) is approximately 2 to 1. This ratio becomes inverted in persons with AIDS but also may be abnormal for other temporary reasons.
Helper T Cells
Lymphocytes bearing the CD4 marker that are responsible for many immune system functions, including turning antibody production on and off.
Pertaining to the liver.
An inflammation of the liver. May be caused by bacterial or viral infection, parasitic infestation, alcohol, drugs, toxins, or transfusion of incompatible blood. Although many cases of hepatitis are not a serious threat to health, the disease can become chronic and can sometimes lead to liver failure and death. There are four major types of viral hepatitis: A, B, C, and D.
Hepatitis A
Caused by infection with the hepatitis A virus, which is spread by fecal-oral contact.
Hepatitis B
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) can cause chronic liver disease, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Tuberculosis (TB)
infection with the bacteria
Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Hepatitis C
Approximately 40% of patients infected with HIV are also infected with the hepatitis C virus (HCV), mainly because the two viruses share routes of transmission. HCV is one of most important causes of chronic liver disease in the United States. Clinical studies have demonstrated that HIV infection causes a more rapid progression of chronic hepatitis C to liver failure in HIV-infected persons.
Enlargement of the liver.
Abnormal enlargement of both the liver and the spleen.
Liver damage owing to toxic effects of poisons or drugs. Early damage is usually detected by measuring liver enzymes.
Herpes Simplex Virus 1 (HSV-1)
A virus that causes cold sores or fever blisters on the mouth or around the eyes, and can be transmitted to the genital region. Stress, trauma, other infections, or suppression of the immune system can reactivate the latent virus.
Herpes Simplex Virus 2 (HSV-2)
A virus causing painful sores of the anus or genitals that may lie dormant in nerve tissue. It can be reactivated to produce symptoms. HSV-2 may be transmitted to a newborn during birth from an infected mother, causing retardation or other serious complications. HSV-2 is a precursor of cervical cancer.
Herpes Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV)
The varicella virus causes chickenpox in children and may reappear in adults as herpes zoster. Also called shingles, herpes zoster consists of very painful blisters on the skin that follow nerve pathways.
Herpes Viruses
A group of viruses that includes herpes simplex type 1 (HSV-1), herpes simplex type 2 (HSV-2), cytomegalovirus (CMV), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), varicella zoster virus (VZV), human herpes virus type 6 (HHV-6), and HHV-8, a herpes virus associated with Kaposi sarcoma. See entries under names of some of the individual viruses.
Herpes Zoster
A painful infection with the varicella virus that normally causes chickenpox. The virus may be dormant for many years in the cells of the nervous system. When reactivated, it appears on the skin in various locations as painful sores. Also called shingles.
Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART)
The name given to treatment regimens recommended by HIV experts to aggressively decrease viral multiplication and progress of HIV disease. The usual HAART treatment combines three or more drugs, such as two nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) and a protease inhibitor, two NRTIs and a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI), or other combinations. These treatment regimens have been shown to reduce the amount of virus so that it becomes undetectable in a patient's blood.
High-Risk Behavior
A reported sexual, injection drug use, or other non-work-related HIV exposure that might put a patient at high risk of acquiring HIV infection.
A fungal infection, commonly of the lungs, caused by the fungus
Histoplasma capsulatum
. This fungus is commonly found in bird and bat droppings. It is spread by breathing in the spores of the fungus. Persons with severely damaged immune systems, such as those with AIDS, are susceptible to a very serious disease known as progressive disseminated histoplasmosis.
Human Immunodeficiency Virus See

Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 2 (HIV-2)
Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV-1)
Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 2 (HIV-2)
HIV-Associated Dementia
AIDS Dementia Complex (ADC)
HIV-Exposed Infant
An infant born to a mother infected with HIV and exposed to HIV during pregnancy, childbirth, or breast-feeding.
HIV Prevention Counselling
Provision of information on how HIV is transmitted, how an individual becomes infected, and how to prevent infection. Encompasses all modes of transmission including sexual (homosexual and bisexual), intravenous drug use, mother-to-child transmission, breast-feeding, accidental exposure from an infected patient, and HIV-infected blood transfusion.
HIV Set Point
The point where the level of virus stabilises and remains at a particular level in each individual after the period of primary infection.
HIV Viral Load
Viral Load Test
Hodgkin Disease
A progressive cancer of the lymphatic system. Symptoms include lymphadenopathy, wasting, weakness, fever, itching, night sweats, and anaemia. Treatment includes radiation and chemotherapy.
Home Sample Collection Test
A test kit that a consumer purchases and uses to collect blood (or other bodily fluid) to send away for testing.
Pertaining to sexual activity with a person of the same sex.
An active chemical substance formed in one part of the body and carried in the blood to other parts of the body where it stimulates or suppresses cell and tissue activity.
Host Factors
The body's mechanisms for containing HIV, including immune system cells.
Human Papillomavirus (HPV)
HTLV-I and HTLV-II, like all retroviruses, are single-stranded RNA that divide through DNA made possible by the presence of a enzyme, reverse transcriptase, which converts a single-stranded viral RNA into a double-stranded DNA. HTLV-I attacks T lymphocytes; it appears to be the causative agent of certain T- cell leukemias, T-cell lymphomas, and HTLV-I-associated neurologic disease.
Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV-1)
The retrovirus isolated and recognised as the aetiologic (i.e., causing or contributing to the cause of a disease) agent of AIDS. HIV-1 is classified as a lentivirus in a subgroup of retroviruses. Also, the genetic material of a retrovirus such as HIV is the RNA itself. HIV inserts its own RNA into the host cell's DNA, preventing the host cell from carrying out its natural functions and turning it into an HIV factory. See
Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 2 (HIV-2)
A virus closely related to HIV-1 that has also been found to cause AIDS. It was first isolated in West Africa. Although HIV-1 and HIV-2 are similar in how they are transmitted and result in similar opportunistic infections, they have differed in their geographic patterns of infection. HIV-1 remains the most common cause of AIDS and represents the major type distributed worldwide.
Human Papillomavirus (HPV)
HPV is transmitted through sexual contact and is the virus that causes genital warts and plays a causative role in cervical dysplasia and cervical cancer.
Humoral Immunity
The branch of the immune system that relies primarily on antibodies. See
Cell-Mediated Immunity (CMI)
Abnormally high levels of cholesterol in the bloodstream. High cholesterol levels contribute to heart disease.
Abnormally high levels of immunoglobulins in the blood. Common in persons with HIV.
An abnormally high concentration of glucose (sugar) in the circulating blood, seen especially in patients with diabetes mellitus. Hyperglycaemia, new onset diabetes mellitus, diabetic ketoacidosis, and worsening of existing diabetes mellitus in patients receiving protease inhibitors have been reported.
An increase in the blood levels of triglycerides and cholesterol (fats) that can lead to heart disease and inflammation of the pancreas. As related to HIV, hyperlipidaemia is a side effect of HAART. (All protease inhibitors have been shown to cause hyperlipidaemia in clinical studies.)
Abnormal increase in the parts of tissue or cells.
Elevated levels of triglycerides (fatty acid compounds) in the bloodstream. High levels contribute to heart disease.
Abnormally low levels of immunoglobulins. See
An assumption as a basis for reasoning or argument, or as a guide to experimental investigation.
Reduction of oxygen supply to tissues.

It's late. I should be asleep. The nicety of a federal holiday is that I slept in today, really late. The downside is is well past midnight and my mind keeps thinking of Georgia Auburn. I am at this moment in-battled with the story editor, as I really want this text beside this picture, but I can't seem to make it work. So, at this point, you are like "WTH TT?" with the picture. So, let my rambling begin, and maybe you will chuckle for a second...
via t3.gstatic.com
Until 2010. I simply don't give a damn what anyone says. I have watched a massive, huge, unbelievably amount of college football in the last decade. Even deployed. You want UGA to win the SEC? Send me to the middle east. Cause that's where I watched us win them. But, back to 2010 UGA vs AU. Dirtiest game I have ever seen? Yep. Absolutely. - Enter Auburn excuses. Fine. I got one for you. When you are the NC and you are killing your longest standing rival, maybe be careful how you compose yourself. It's called class. Auburn could have beaten Georgia without the cheapshots. And that's what Coach Richt would do. Spear our QB in the spine and I am somehow supposed to believe that was OK? Hell 'naw. I will never forget that game, but more than that, I will never forget the mountain of excuses. And my hatred of Auburn took a new turn. I would pay money for one Auburn fan to say straight up the hits on Aaron Murray were down right dirty. Just say it. But, nope, just justification and crazy talk.
Today's game is amazingly historical. First time in 30 years to beat UT, UF and AU in the same season. And I already had the guy at work say "It's lucky for Coach RIcht the SEC is down." And now you know why I needed to talk to a professional: The SEC just played the game of the Century, and yet they are down. W T H ? There were plenty of years UGA was up and our rivals were down and we didn't beat these three. It isn't easy to come by. UGA should beat the heck out of Auburn today. And I sure hope they do. Every bit of my analysis says they should. Expect those years they don't. I hate Auburn.
Today is a day of mourning in some ways. Football season just started, and with the south's oldest game commencing, it is also a day that spells the end of the season. Georgia - Auburn is bittersweet. The record and analysis and heartbreak and greatness shows that. For today, let us taste the sweetness, because come Feb, we will be missing it.
Go Dawgs!
Edit 1 - my boss, T Kyle King, is going to wake up, see this, and likely bill me. I am sure he takes the PayPals.

a real breakupi am going to be sad when you see me.
this means
i want you to take my vulnerability
from my lips
and tell me how it tastes;
find the salt of my tears
from my face
and feel them on your tongue;
let my rawness
become more raw
by your unshaven lip-
i want you to kiss my sadness
moments of being awakehearing from you
gives me road rash
the kind the drunk man
who touched the shoulders of women
in long, lingering lashes
gets when he's thrown
from the bar
it slaps me in the face
harder than winter wind
after a night spent
alone in a bed
or not alone in a bed
i wonder if you wonder
if i'm sleeping with somebody
if i'm in love and happy
if i'm alone and miserable and
aching for someone like you
because i admit i do-
i spend some time
wondering about you.
sinking sadnessi will not burden
a soul so beautiful
that my hummingbird heart
with its stammers and stutters
silences its staccato beats.
i am struck
by the sad
and silent
i am struck
by myself
more and more
as i let my thoughts
sink me further.
i don't know how
to open my mouth
when my lips
stick together in my sleep.
i forget how to breathe
when i'm out at night
a few drinks under my belly
and men who are not you
rub their hands
up and down my body
in their minds.
what hurts
is my fingers in my throat
because i sinned,
what hurts
is the way my body has changed
but my mind hasn't,
what hurts
is not knowing what
i'm doing to myself
is doing to you.
for those who want to be in loveyou want to fall in love
hard enough to break your bones and
lighten your feet
lighten your heart
so softly that the butterflies you feel
pattering with their gossamer wings
beneath the cage of your ribs
can escape;
and the breath,
blue in the summer,
can kiss you and the monarchs
as sweetly as your love
and her lips.
you dream of them at night.
silken like clean bedsheets,
familiar as your favourite chair
when you curl up with
a mug of herbal tea.
you feel at home
with her body curled in yours,
only able to sleep
with her skin under your fingers
scenting the blankets
with something no perfume
could ever mirror.
you write love letters
in biology
love poems
in economics
you dream emptily
unless she is there.
you want to fall in love
the way the gods drink ambrosia,
you want to treat her
better than their nectar,
sweeter than honeybees
and their summer-sticky feet.
you want a love beyond poetry,
from winter flurries
to springtime rosebuds
to summer sweet lemonade
to autumnal red leaves u
first weekend and realisationsyou begin to talk
because talking means that
someone else can't
&you start to realise
(as most girls do)
that you have a boyfriend
he's not just a boyfriend;
he's your boyfriend
&he's not just better than
anyone else in the world
he's better than
anything else in the world
&you would trade years off your life
to spend a little longer with him
or to see him smile when he's sad
or to feel his face in your hair
the way he does when he hugs you
&you can't feel it
because right now he's too far away
but distance is only the space between
point a and point b
between you&between me
&if you give it just a little more time
you'll realise nothing has changed
and the disjointed rhythms
your heart beats out like a drum
sticks like a song in your head
the moment you watch recognition
hit his eyes
when you walk in.
the death of selfi can't find words to
fill me
i can't articulate
a thing
on paper-
no pencil,
no pen,
and blood doesn't stick-
i am stuck with my self
and the monsters
who have inched in,
night by night
until their figures
loom over me,
i am mourning.
the loss of you,
no matter how temporary;
the resignation
to destroy my body
beyond its crumbling pillars;
the sadness in every cell
that contains the ocean,
wave after wave of thorough dejection,
apathy and agony
that nothing seems to solve.
i do not move.
i exist because it is what i know to do.
i breathe only because it takes effort to stop.
the hole in which i am buried
is filled with heavy, sodden soil
and my blood offerings
and constantly emptying myself
receives no mercy from a deity,
no acknowledgement.
i am mourning
the death of my self.
love makes you make no senseyou are honey-tongued,
thick and sweet words
dripping down my fingers
as i put them
to my lips.
winter rolls in,
high hills and iced walls
but i inch ever-closer
to your darted waist
and sink in-
you are my favourite sweater.
i am more in love with you
than there are freckles on my face
at the peak of summer;
i am more in love with you

Big ID Thefts Not To Be Feared
Zonk posted more than 8 years ago | from the i-would-still-be-nervous dept.161
goldseries writes "A new study released by ID Analytics says that only about 1 out of every 1000 stolen identities are actually used, due to the amount of time it takes to use the identity, limiting a single thief to 250 identities a year. The likelihood that your information will be used increases drastically when the size a the theft is small. So size does not matter, in identity thefts at least; the identity thefts you need to worry about aren't the big ones heard on the news but the small unreported ones." From the article: "While the findings will provide some comfort to consumers whose credit cards are lost or lifted, or whose sensitive information is compromised when, for instance, a laptop is stolen, as recently happened at Chicago-based Boeing, some of ID Analytics' suggestions could be controversial. The company suggests, for instance, that companies shouldn't always notify consumers of data breaches because they may be unnecessarily alarming people who stand little chance of being victimized."

© Copyright 2014 Clayton News Daily
By Joel Hall
Community workers, volunteers, law-enforcement officials, and inmates pulled together Wednesday to provide local residents with vital food supplies.
During the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Surplus Food Distribution, the Clayton County Community Services Authority (CSA) delivered more than 1,000 bags of food to needy people in Forest Park, Lovejoy, and surrounding areas.
According CSA Executive Director Charles W. Grant, the distribution represents the fourth, and final one the CSA is able to offer residents of the Southern Crescent this year. He said food is scarce for many families.
"A lot of people are out of work this time of year, particularly those in construction," Grant said. "Also, it is getting close to Thanksgiving, so we want to make food available to the poor and the elderly. People do desperate things when they have desperate needs. We hope that nobody goes hungry in Clayton, Fayette, or Henry counties."
Each mesh bag was packed with pork, mixed vegetables, green beans, carrots, tomato sauce, pinto beans, rice, peanuts, peanut butter, tomato soup, sweat peas, spaghetti sauce, and other staples.
According to CSA officials, 994 bags of food were handed out to Clayton County residents on Wednesday at the CSA headquarters on Main Street in Forest Park, and the Lovejoy Community Center, on Hastings Bridge Road in Hampton.
On Tuesday, 456 bags of food were distributed in Henry County at three different locations. Fayette County received no bags of food in this particular distribution, CSA officials said.
In Forest Park, officials used the food distribution as an opportunity to provide needy residents with other vital services. Residents received information about the 2010 Census from the U.S. Census Bureau, foreclosure advice from the Atlanta Legal Aid Society, and information about weatherization and heating-bill assistance from the CSA.
In Lovejoy, residents coming to the Lovejoy Community Center for food were treated to three truckloads of free clothing provided by First Baptist Church of Lovejoy.
Jamminese Miller, CSA's Community Support Coordinator, organized this year's food distribution efforts. She said that, while the community's need for the distribution has grown, so has community support.
"There are so many families in need," Miller said. "I don't even have words. I've run out of bags each time. More people are getting to know about the service and the agency as well. The [Sheriff's] deputies are actually helping bag the food, load the trucks and distribute it to people. Before, the deputies would just drop the inmates off, but now they are actively getting involved. Volunteers also help in delivering the bags."
Mike Hardin, pastor of First Baptist Church of Lovejoy, helped distribute clothing to those who picked up bags of food at the Lovejoy Community Center on Wednesday morning. He said the church and other service organizations involved in the distribution were able to reach more people through collaboration.
"We did our first clothing drive in July, and it was a good turnout, but not nearly as much as this," Hardin said. "One of the things that builds our ministry is getting off our campus. Generally, the people who are in need of food are the same people who can benefit from the clothes. This way, we can bless them in more than one way."

Do Best Friends Make Good Lovers?
Tonight the "It's Real Talk Radio" crew will be discussing a very interesting/debatable topic: "Do Best Friends Make Good Lovers?" There are so many things to factor in when it comes to best friends taking it to the next level and it's probably safe to say most of us have either tried a relationship or at least thought about trying a relationship with our best friend before, but did it work? Are you still together? If it didn't work, what went wrong? Did it impact your friendship and are you still friends today?
These questions and more will be addressed (from our perspective) on tonight's show, so if you have experienced this topic or maybe have a crush on your best friend and don't know how to come out and tell them (or don't know if you should risk taking it there), definitely tune in and feel free to call in to share your opinion or experience with us.

The 3 Best Friends of the Subconscious
in Self Help
So we are now starting to understand that we operate from the subconscious 95-97% of the time. It runs our biological processes like breathing and digestion but it can also in the same invisible and automatic way run our behaviour, attitudes and beliefs as well.
With this in mind it makes total sense to most people that reconnecting with (and in some cases reprogramming) the subconscious is one of the most profound life changes you can make, but how do you do that?
Well in this episode of I Am Healing, Austin and Jo reveal 'The 3 Best Friends of the Subconscious' ... they will also recommend (not reading this time but) some listening, and as always end the programme with a reflection to help you begin thinking in a new and empowering way.

Man's Best Friends -- Write Stuff -- 4-15-2014
in Radio
This show's going to the dogs...and the cats, the lizards, the hamsters, the birds, the horses, the lions, the tigers, and the bears.
Animals have long been part of God's creation since the beginning. They have a special place in our hearts as we study, learn, breed, provide, protect, and love them. In return, for the most anyway, the animals we care for do the same thing. Also, animals have been known to be therapeutic, companions, guardians, protects, warriors, and fighters. Is it any wonder we have such a connection with our many legged friends?
Of course, our relationship with animals are not all fuzzy. We have been known to abuse, torment them, kill them for sport, and cause them to go extinct. But they are still here and for the most part, we love them.

Create a simple "cart" using dataobjects (without payment)?
12 December 2013 at 11:14pm
I need a really simple cart system. the user just should select items and add/remove them to/from cart.
Also there should be no paymant. There just should be a mail send to an entered email address with the selected products and perhaps an mail to the "customer".
Did someone knows a tutorial for that?
Cause If got absolutely no idea how to build the cart-system.
Thank you in advance

The company plans to add 1,000 stores as well, CEO Glenn Murphy says.
Gap Inc. plans to expand e-commerce sales and grow its international stores presence significantly in the next three years. Additional online sales of $1 billion annually by 2016 are possible by coordinating web and store sales and personalization, chairman and CEO Glenn Murphy told attendees at the Goldman Sachs Global Retailing Conference earlier this month.
"We want to add approximately 1,000 stores and about $1 billion in online sales by 2016," Murphy told the audience. "With growth year to date at 27%, do the math. There's no way we can't get to that number."
Gap reported online sales of $1.927 billion for the 53-week fiscal year ended Feb. 2, up 23.5% from $1.560 billion in the 52 weeks ended Jan. 28, 2012. Web sales represented 12% of $15.651 billion in total sales in fiscal 2012, compared with 11% during the prior year.
The company plans to reach its e-commerce goal by expanding online and in-store services, including ship from store, find in store and reserve in store, as well as by personalizing its web site for each visitor based on past visits and transactions.
Gap began testing in-store pickup in Chicago and San Francisco in June and now also is offering in those cities a reserve-in-store service that enables customers to reserve apparel online. Gap will hold the products in a fitting room or at the cash register in a nearby store for 24 hours.
The find-in-store service is now available for Gap, Banana Republic, Old Navy, Athleta, Piperlime brands in North America and enables a shopper to use a mobile device to check stores in a given radius for product size and color and determine if it's in stock, or if supply is limited or not available. Ship-from-store, now available at Gap, Banana Republic, Old Navy and Athleta stores, enables consumers to tap inventory that's not reflected in online inventory status at present, Murphy said.
Global store expansion plans include opening 18-20 Old Navy stores in Japan this year and up to 100 outlet stores in China in the next four to five years, Murphy said. Seven outlet stores are set to open this year in China.

September 22, 2010
By Susan Snyder, INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
John Strassburger, 68, president of Ursinus College, died this morning at a hospital after a long battle with cancer, college officials said. Strassburger resigned June 30 for personal and health reasons after 16 years at the helm of the Collegeville school, but he had been serving as president emeritus, while the college continued a search for his replacement. Arrangements are not yet available. The school saw dramatic growth and improved prestige as a model liberal arts institution under Strassburger's leadership.

With a perfect 9-0 mark so far this season, he's within one of the record. Last season, Durst had a record of 25-5-1 and finished third in the Middle Atlantic Conference Championships.
Ursinus College tolerance code gets a workout
November 20, 2012
By Jessica Parks, Inquirer Staff Writer
At freshman orientation this fall, Ursinus College told incoming students there was a "no-tolerance policy on no tolerance. " That policy is being tested now as the small suburban liberal-arts college holds disciplinary hearings for a student who wore blackface to a campus-sponsored Halloween party and another who created a website asking students to rank one another as "hot or crazy. " Both incidents were quickly condemned by administrators and student leaders, who held town-hall meetings to air their grievances.
Ursinus College Ends Successful Fund Drive
January 29, 1995
By Wendy Greenberg, INQUIRER CORRESPONDENT
Ursinus College in Collegeville has closed the books on its "The Next Step" fund-raising campaign with $39.6 million raised. The goal had been $39 million. The campaign, launched in June 1992, was the largest in the college's 125- year-history, surpassing the combined total of all previous campaigns. Thomas G. Davis of Radnor and Cambridge, England, and John E.F. Corson of Plymouth Meeting were co-chairmen. The total includes nine gifts of more than $1 million, among them a $5.37 million grant from the F.W. Olin Foundation for the construction of F.W. Olin Hall, the college's new humanities building.

BACK IN January 2009, John Strassburger found himself seated next to a college freshman on a train ride to Philadelphia - and having to bite his tongue. The freshman was talking proudly about how he was majoring in finance and real estate. "I was far too polite to say what I really thought," said Strassburger, then president of Ursinus College. Writing about the experience in the Inquirer, Strassburger said, "I cannot help but think that, while conventional wisdom might hold that we need students thinking about careers for the good of the economy, our country really needs students thinking about big ideas.

It's been a roller-coaster few months for Ursinus College, the small liberal-arts school with big ambitions tucked into the bucolic Montgomery County countryside. In September, the 1,750-student campus mourned the death of former president John R.

Through a work of art, the two women were hoping to save a connection that is slipping away. Their husbands, who have Alzheimer's disease, are becoming more distant, their marriages more solitary and fraught with worry. But in a discussion of a painting called The Immigrants , those husbands - Jack Williams and Dick Force - virtually carried the conversation at the Woodmere Art Museum, in Chestnut Hill. The two men, whose wives had met through their mutual experience as caregivers, found the story in the brushstrokes and shared their thoughts about the discovery.
Ursinus professor aiming to keep firefighters' hearts safe
July 30, 2014
By Erin McCarthy, Inquirer Staff Writer
Battling the flames and billowing black smoke, Deborah Feairheller fought her way into the Caln Township home. As a metal air pack pumped oxygen into her mask, she yanked down the ceiling with a long pole to ventilate the attic above. Understandably, she feared for her safety, if not her life. " 'Is the floor going to hold me up?' " Feairheller said she thinks each time she enters a fire. " 'Is the ceiling going to fall on top of me?' " Yet Feairheller knew, better than most, that the top cause of fatalities among firefighters is not collapsing walls, or ceilings, or floors - or smoke inhalation.
Bryn Mawr to drop SAT requirement for admission

By Susan Snyder, Inquirer Staff Writer
Bryn Mawr College, the small private women's school on the Main Line, this week joined a growing number of schools around the country that no longer require the SAT or other standardized test scores for admission. The college instead will rely on high school grades, essays, and other factors - a move officials hope will attract a broader applicant pool. "We know there are students all around the country who, when they see 'test scores,' they see it as a barrier to applying," said Peaches Valdes, Bryn Mawr's director of admissions.
Donald Russell Connor, 92, bank vice president and jazz buff
June 17, 2014
BY JOHN F. MORRISON, Daily News Staff Writer email@example.com, 215-854-5573
BY HIS OWN admission, Russ Connor was something of a wild man in his youth. There was the time he and some buddies commandeered a trolley to drive them from dry Ocean City, N.J., to wet Somers Point for a night of intemperance. He once raced his Pontiac GTO full-out on an unopened section of the Atlantic City Expressway, not the safest venture even on a vacant road. His expenses and his caprices were paid for at least in part by the $20 weekly check he got from the government as a returning GI. He was an Army veteran of World War II. Donald Russell Connor, who went from his carefree years to the sober world of banking, working his way up to vice president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, a jazz buff who wrote four books on Benny Goodman and became pals with drummer Gene Krupa, died Wednesday at age 92. He was one of the original homeowners in Levittown.
Frank C. Videon Jr., 70, auto dealer and funny guy
June 17, 2014
By Bob Fernandez, Inquirer Staff Writer
Frank C. Videon Jr., 70, of West Chester, a Newtown Square auto dealer and lifelong practical joker who officiated at high school football games, died Thursday, June 12, at home after battling stomach cancer for more than a year. His wife of 47 years, Carol, said Sunday that Mr. Videon's joking extended to a family rivalry between her husband, who ran a Chevrolet dealership, and brothers Steve and Wayne Videon, who ran a competing Chrysler-Dodge-Jeep dealership. Mr. Videon bought newspaper advertisements poking fun at his brothers by putting their heads on turkeys or steers.
Dr. Jerome M. Cotler, 85, orthopedic surgeon
April 14, 2014
By Walter F. Naedele, Inquirer Staff Writer
Dr. Philip Marone, team physician for the Phillies from 1972 to 1999, recalled Dr. Jerome M. Cotler as "a great guy, the nicest man you'll ever find.

Not old, this game Sports columnist Frank Fitzpatrick probably reflects the attitude of many Phillies fans frustrated with their team's failure to make the playoffs ("World Series has lost its once-unique allure," Oct. 20). But don't blow off the World Series because of it. And while Fitzpatrick cites the higher TV ratings of the National Football Leauge over World Series baseball, that's not a bad thing when you consider the asinine shows garnering high ratings. Baseball is more of a thinking man's game, requiring strategy.

By Susan Snyder, Inquirer Staff Writer
College application time is always filled with angst, but this year, glitches in the online "common application" system used by hundreds of thousands of students across the country has added to the anxiety. Area colleges and universities are trying to calm parents and students with assurances that they are meticulously checking applications as they come in and are prepared to roll back deadlines if necessary. "We're in this together," said Michael Gaynor, director of university admission at Villanova, which uses the common application exclusively.

Another cool Crow t shirt. Rumor has it that there is a remake in development as we speak. I found a video of Brendon Lee's actual death, but I think that's really creepy and won't link it. Instead, I found this article claiming that the death's of Brendon and his father Bruce Lee is part of an Illuminati conspiracy. Awesome.

Hitachi move to London 'huge vote of confidence'
– Vince Cable, Business Secretary
This move demonstrates a huge vote of confidence in Britain, its workers and its rail industry from one of Japan's biggest businesses. It follows the company's announcement last year of 750 new jobs at their factory in Newton Aycliffe, which I was delighted to launch with [Transport Secretary] Patrick McLoughlin.
It's further testament to the Government's industrial strategy which is giving companies of Hitachi's stature the confidence to invest in the UK in an expanding rail sector, creating new jobs and increasing exports that will help sustain long-term economic growth.

What happens when a spin-off stops spinning? It's time to come home. On Sunday's episode of Family Guy (Fox, 9 p.m.), Cleveland Brown will pop up on Spooner Street, as he's moving back to the old neighborhood with his family. (Welcome back, Donna, Roberta, Cleveland Jr., and Rallo, too). But this homecoming comes with a hiccup: When Lois and Cleveland's wife, Donna, get in a fight, they tell their husbands that they can't hang out anymore. "It's up to Cleveland and Peter to reconcile the women and see a way to allow these two guys to be friends again," executive producer Steve Callaghan told EW last fall. And, yes, the episode also mocks The Cleveland Show's cancellation. "There's a scene where the guys pretty mercilessly take shots at Cleveland for striking out on his own and for failing miserably, with not very veiled fourth-wall references to Cleveland's show," said Callaghan. Want to see Cleveland reunite with Peter, Quagmire, and Joe, plus the pigment-swapping moment above? Click on the video below.

Purses, perfume, and jewelry: every woman's paradise. This looks like your typical Marc Jacobs pop-up store in SoHo. But the currency here is social media.
Here's how it works: Customers use Twitter, Instagram and Facebook to promote the pop-up shop. Then in exchange, they get deluxe perfume samples.
People with the most creative posts, like Nadia Pagnotti, can also win handbags.
"I think it will catch on and other beauty companies will be like I should have thought of that," she says.
Shop girl Michelle Cusator says the guerilla marketing tactic was Jacobs' bright idea.
"Marc has such a strong social following that he wanted to give back to his fans so at the Daisy Marc Jacobs shop no dollars exchange hands," she says.
The pop-up shop, located at 462 West Broadway, is open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. each day through Sunday, Feb. 9.

"Much of our strategic shift is providing production advances over the next 60 days in the Gulf Coast. This effort sets the stage for Gulf Coast growth in 2006, along with production growth in our East, West and Canada regions."
"The recent hurricanes in the Gulf Coast underscore just how precious our limited refining and production efforts are, ... It is time to act responsibility and allow our nation to meet its energy needs."
"If we can't respond faster than this to an event we saw coming across the Gulf for days, then why do we think we're prepared to respond to a nuclear or biological attack?"
"[The president's many visits to the Gulf Coast seem to have shored up, at least somewhat, his eroded standing. In the NEWSWEEK Poll, his job-approval rating inched up two points, to a still-dismal 40 percent. But, safely back in the White House, he now has to deal with another disaster area: Republican Washington. The list of official inquiries is long and growing, involving issues ranging from arguably excusable bureaucratic mismanagement to insider trading to allegations of lawbreaking that potentially lead to the highest levels of the White House staff.] Look, the Democrats' numbers are just as low as the Republicans' are, ... People see a lot of this stuff just as 'more Washington.' But the danger for Republicans and for Bush is that there are too many things they can't control—and the odds are that all of them aren't going to work out in their favor."
"Hurricane Katrina damaged platforms and ports and curtailed production at refineries in the Gulf of Mexico, the source of almost a third of U.S. oil output, ... The severe damage to our nation's energy infrastructure is undoubtedly raising energy costs; however, we need to ensure that Americans are protected from businesses that may chose to take advantage of this tragedy."

Human After All - Daft Punk
- Summary: The French electronica duo's third LP is closer in sound to their first than to 2001's 'Discovery.'
- Record Label: Virgin
- Genre(s): Electronic
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 7 out of 28
Mixed: 17 out of 28
Negative: 4 out of 28
Portraying the state of pop as a series of predictable formulae long since exhausted by corporate superstructure, Human After All more than lives up to its name, rendering a metaphor for failure on the grandest yet simultaneously most personal of terms.
Not as overtly catchy (or cheesy) as Discovery, Human After All nonetheless is a hilariously cold and mechanical work that makes Kraftwerk sound like Curtis Mayfield. [May 2005, p.138]
The album's most human aspect is its contradictory nature, an ultimate lack of emotion that make the exhilarating Homework and the sentimental Discovery so accessible. [#67, p.90]
Where the weight of expectation and precedence get to have a say, this feels like not just a failure, but a heartbreaker.
Too much of it is straightforward four-to-the-floor anodynity, and a number of tracks run out of ideas almost immediately, explore touchstones they've caressed more inspiringly before or, worse, do both.
Human After All is determinedly monochromatic aurally, compositionally, and mood-wise. Gosh, they really are robots--the music is flat, barely inflected, sitting there like a vending machine waiting patiently for your quarters.
Score distribution:
Positive: 55 out of 79
Mixed: 13 out of 79
Negative: 11 out of 79
Feb 16, 2014Seeing the yellow tinge of average surrounding the mediocre score of this album surprises me, and frankly, most of the reviewers and critics who delivered a poor score on this album probably listened to it once and disregarded it automatically. One who sees a mere 57 out of 100 rating on an album would surely give it a miss - a mistake that many have made. Simply put, this album, while almost half the length of their first album and considerably shorter than their second, is a gem that deserves much warmer recognition it has now gained. A track like "Robot Rock" may be tiresome to sit through for some, but that song is an anthem. It is a rewarding listen. "Steam Machine" tinges with the whisper of the eponymous track title, darkening the album's tone further; and lighter tracks "Make Love" and "Emotion" show that Daft Punk can create a song in any positive or negative tone, and any genre they see fit.
In my opinion, then, "Human After All" is yet another flying-colours pass by the French duo.… Expand
Dec 15, 2010Human After All is a bit of a mixed bag for me. I don't really agree with all the atrocious reviews for it, but I can understand what these critics are trying to say. Most of the tracks don't really go anywhere. It's like the chorus the whole song. Some are catchy the whole way through, others are just a bit annoying after a bit. All In All, Daft Punk's Discovery was brilliant, but Human After All could 've been so much better. C+… Expand
Jan 16, 2012Human After All is an excellent album by one of the best artists that have ever existed. Maybe is not as good as its predecessor, but in my opinion at the same place as Homework, this record shows to the world what is real electronic music. Because a lot of people thinks that this dance-pop parasites and the awful remixes of their songs are electro. Nothing as far as reality. Human After All is the perfect example of this. Beginning with a masterpiece, the title track is simply awesome, one of the best Daft Punk songs. Prime Time Of Your Life is a strange song, with a lot of industrial music, but still cool. And then, Robot Rock. Epic. How, with a single riff, create something as brilliant. The best song of the CD. Steam Machine is the same story of the second track, but this kind of songs rules and make us see that DP is a very original band. Make Love is the opposite. A calmed song, with a single riff, but that really fits with the concept of art. Absolutely great. The Brainwasher is a great song to, direct to the spirit, effective. On/Off is only an introduction for what comes next, the best song with Robot Rock, Television Rules The Nation. Describe how amazing it is is impossible. Technologic is a fun song, that improves as it progresses. And the last song, Emotion, is a calmed song with a lot of feeling. In conclusion, a great album. Maybe some parts are repetitive, but who cares. It's Daft Punk, and Human After All is one of the tops of music in the 21st century.… Expand
Sep 1, 2010This is a very good album. Personally even though i love Daft Punk they were a bit repetitive on tracks such as Steam Machine or BrainWasher. However the electric flow and robotic feel never quite leave you and keep you tuned in through the whole album. My biggest problem with this album is that it's toooooooo short. It's essentially 9 songs. 9 songs! Not enough daft punk :/.… Expand
Feb 7, 2014In all its metallic, cold, crunchiness, Human After All, which was considered to be one of the most anticipated, yet disappointing albums of 2005 and in the EDM community overall, there's meaning -- or should I say purpose -- to be found here. Now it's almost been a decade since its release, and Daft Punk have since produced for the 2010 Walt Disney film Tron: Legacy and made one of the most memorable, critically acclaimed of 2010s thus far, Random Access Memories. And maybe because of that, time has been moderately kinder to this electronic "dud". After all, Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homen-Christo -- calling them by name since I'm an adoring fan myself -- intended for the album to have a robotic perception of what "being human" means. It's virtually devoid of any lyrics (aside from the often grating repetition of the song's names, respectively), so we're left with the music. And the results are hit-or-miss. "The Brainwasher" and "Technologic" are probably the somewhat most enjoyable of the bunch, matching its repetitive vodocers with some catchy techno that can easily be described in one word: "earworm". And the worst being "Robot Rock", one of Daft Punk's laziest use of sampling to date and a poor sequel to "Aerodynamic". However, one treasure (or at least by this album's standards) exists: "Make Love", an appealing, soothing throwback to their Discovery days; it's the album's "breather". So all-in-all, it's not by any means a very good album and it's justifiable for whomever finds it quite the opposite. For any Daft Punk fan, they've learned to at least commend its existence. Daft Punk are "Human After All" -- totally called for -- they're inclined to make flaws. Even robots do that every now and then.… Expand
Apr 9, 2012I love Daft Punk and I consider Discovery and Alive 2007 to be among my favorite musical works. However, it is painfully obvious that they didn't care about how this album turned out. Dull, repetitive, and boring would be the best words to describe this 'album.'
I only give a 6/10 because DP redeemed themselves and this album by remixing it with Alive 2007.… Expand
Oct 8, 2011Daft Punk is known for their hybrid of organic samples and high edge house music, their first two albums leaving catchy and beautiful songs. While Human After All's titular track is a great opener, the rest of the album just can't follow suit. Nearly everything is just a mirror of its first fifteen seconds. It's unfortunate just how repetitive it gets, and actually a little annoying. This is especially the case for tracks like "Robot Rock", "Technologic" and "Brainwasher". Then there are even stranger "songs" like "On/Off', a prelude to "Prime Time of Your Life" and worse, "Emotion", which is basically just a rendition of technologic with other sounds from the album. It's very disappointing, considering the duo's previous successes.… Expand
