This house was amazing. Very close to all things in South Shore. Just a short 5 min drive to the Heavanly base and also to the casinos on state line. The views of the lake were an amazing addition to the house which were very relaxing to look at after the long nights out and the hard days on the slopes. Thanks a bunch for making our trip that much better. Spencer

A Service to Celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the Admission of Women as Readers
Service material for possible use to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the admission of women to Reader ministry, 09 May 2009. The service contains aspects of celebration and re-dedication that can be used within a Eucharist service or a Service of the Word. The suggestions are intended to provide sufficient material to select and construct an appropriate service. The suggestions are by no means exhaustive or conclusive and other material may be added as required. These suggestions do not set out to represent a triumphal feminism. Rather, they reflect the truth that Reader ministry is shared between men and women, and each brings to it their complementary gifts. They recognise the specific contribution that women have made to Reader ministry and affirm them in that ministry. Many of these suggestions can be adapted, by addition or amendment, to place different emphasis on particular aspects of the work of women as Readers.
Are now available from the CRC Office.

Waukesha County schools could cancel classes due to the cold once again
Superintendents will hold conference call on Sunday
With extreme wind chills heading to southeastern Wisconsin once again early next week, superintendents will evaluate whether it's too cold for school.
Waukesha Superintendent Todd Gray said Friday that superintendents across Waukesha County will hold a conference call late Sunday afternoon to decide if they will close their schools on Monday.
Gray said they'll discuss their options at that time but they might not have a decision until very early Monday morning.
"Right now Monday's forecast at 6 a.m. to 8 a.m. would not necessarily cause us to close," Gray said. "That could change over the weekend."
Gray said a wind chill warning of minus 35 would close the schools but depending on conditions the districts may even consider closing with slightly less wind chills if there are strong wind gusts.
The Waukesha School District shut down its schools two straight days a couple weeks ago when wind chills were around minus 40.
The district had one weather-day built in its schedule, but the second day it has to make up May 23, a day that had been previously designated as a teacher in-service day.
According to the National Weather Service, Monday's high temperature in Waukesha is expected to be minus 5 with winds around 15 mph. Waukesha's Monday night temperature is expected to have a low around minus 19 with winds at 15 mph.
Tuesday's high is expected to be near minus 3.

Rather than copying the best security procedures in the world, the ones used by Israel's El Al, our own TSA has decided to go with a strip and grope approach. Either you get to let airport security look at you naked or they're allowed to run their hands over you like it's prom night at Molesterville High.
Sadly, this isn't even an effective way to stop terrorists from bringing bombs on a plane:
According to a spokesperson for QinetiQ, another body scanner manufacturer, airport body scanners would be "unlikely" to detect many of the explosive devices used by terrorist groups [BBC News]. QinetiQ said the technology probably wouldn't have detected the Christmas day underwear bomb. Neither would the scanners have caught the explosives from the 2006 airliner liquid bomb plot, nor the explosives used in the 2005 London Tube train bombing. The body scanners aren't very useful for detecting liquids and plastics and can only help spotlight irregularities under a person's clothes, said the spokesperson. Singling out every irregularity for further screening will place a heavy burden on airport security (read: bring a pillow with you to the airport).
So, either airport security gets to look at you naked or they get to feel up your wife, "bad touch your child," and feel your crotch for absolutely nothing because terrorists can just walk right through the scanners with explosives. At a minimum, they should at least hire attractive members of the opposite sex to give you your screenings — along with a little kiss first, because you should always kiss someone before you do something like that to him. You can't kiss the kids, of course, but they can at least make it fun for them, too:
All of this is, of course, of little concern to the politicians in D.C. who don't have to go through this — like Janet Napolitano and Barack Obama. That's why Mark Hemmingway's suggestion is so brilliant:
Two weeks ago, my wife flew alone out to Colorado with our two young children. Unaware that the TSA had instituted new and incredibly invasive new security procedures, my wife called me distressed after getting frisked by the TSA. Or as my wife put it, "in some cultures I would be married to my screener by now." She was joking, but make no mistake – my wife was incredibly disturbed by how intimate a security pat down she received.
So here's my not-so-modest proposal: If the President's Homeland Security department is so adamant that this is the absolute best way to prevent terrorism, I think the President and his family should voluntarily submit to one of the new invasive pat down procedures. I know the Obamas don't fly commercial at all these days, so they should probably get a pretty good idea what the rest of us are putting up with.
The President and his family – preferably with DHS Secretary Janet "The system worked" Napolitano – should show up at Dulles or Reagan airport on a weekday with a camera crew in tow, as airport pat downs are typically done in full view of hundreds of travelers. All of America will to see the TSA handling the President's crown jewels. Then a rubber-gloved federal agent will run his hands all over his wife and daughter's privates while he watches.
This is what Barack Obama and Janet Napolitano want for the rest of us, is it not? So, if other people's children have to put up with this, why shouldn't Barack Obama stand there and watch while airport security runs their hands over Sasha, Malia, and Michelle's crotches? Let the Obamas do at least that much and I still won't agree with the policy, but I will at least give Obama credit for putting his money where his mouth is on this issue.

New York, New Yo...
If you haven't gotten your hands on our amazing new book yet— we hope this project encourages you to do so. This week, The Sew Weekly blogger and seamstress Mena Trott shares with us her version of the BurdaStyle Sewing Handbook's skirt pattern.
In her words: I have a thing for tiered skirts. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that when I was in seventh grade they were all the rage and I had the most awesome three-level tiered skirt that I wore for picture day (complete with a black men's-style vest). Up until that point in life, my mom picked out all my clothes but for some reason for that picture day I was able to choose exactly what I wanted to buy and wear. Hence, my love affair with the tiered skirt continues to this day.
Did you make any changes to the original pattern? The only alteration I made to the pattern was a lengthening of the skirt and overskirt. Following the instructions on the pattern and in the book, I lengthen the pieces by about three inches.
Did you style this look yourself? Yes— The shirt is the BurdaStyle stripe top pattern. The only thing that's missing is an awesome vest.
Thanks Mena!

Art and Literature, Movies and TV / Alien prequel« on: May 04, 2010, 07:54:53 PM »
Saw a "preview" of the first Alien prequel (there will be two films) for 20th Century Fox. No footage except scenes from the original, probably because shooting hasn't started. Guess they've already decided on the title: "Alien Origin." Guess they HAD to use the word "Alien" in the title for marketing purposes. Yuk. Simply "Origin" would have been better IMO, or another title a bit more mysterious and less obvious.

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – The Phillies may have their 8th inning guy.
CBS Sports' Jon Heyman reports that the Phillies have an agreement in place with the Astros to acquire right-handed pitcher Wilton Lopez for "minor leaguers," and they're finalizing the deal now.
Lopez, 29 years-old, appeared in 64 games for the Astros last season, had ten saves and finished with a record of 6-3. He struck out 54 batters in 66.1 innings, and had a WHIP 1.040.

Tue Jul 27, 2010 2:34 pmAndrew Marchand of ESPN New York reports that the Yankees are one of the six teams on Joakim Soria's no-trade list.
Fantasy Source Spin: The Yanks are on an ongoing hunt to bolster their bullpen, but may have to look at options other than Soria. He would probably cost them a little too much in the way of prospects anyway. The 26-year-old Royals closer has a 2.12 ERA and 1.01 WHIP for his career and has converted 99 saves since the start of the 2008 season. He's 27-for-29 on save opportunities this year.
Source: ESPN New York
Tue Jul 27, 2010 1:11 pmNick Cafardo of the Boston Globe reports that A's reliever Michael Wuertz is on the Red Sox's "wish list" as the trade deadline nears.
Fantasy Source Spin: Wuertz is usually rock solid in the bullpen, but he's thrown up a 4.50 ERA and 1.41 WHIP this season in Oakland. Perhaps that will allow the Red Sox to swoop in and grab him on the cheap, and maybe he'll do well with a change of scenery. The 31-year-old had a 0.95 WHIP in 78-plus innings last year.
Source: Nick Cafardo on Twitter
Tue Jul 27, 2010 11:44 amAccording to ESPN.com's Tim Kurkjian, the Twins have expressed interest in Nationals closer Matt Capps.
Fantasy Source Spin: The Nats are known to be asking a lot for Capps, but that could change as the July 31 deadline draws closer. He's making $3.5 million this season and can earn himself a raise next season through the arbitration process, so Washington GM Mike Rizzo and Co. would be wise to move him. The Twins are on the hunt for a reliable back-end reliever and Capps certainly fits that bill. Trading him would allow the Nationals to hand ninth-inning duties over to top relief prospect and 2009 first-round pick Drew Storen.
Source: ESPN Insider
Tue Jul 27, 2010 11:12 amIndians manager Manny Acta said Monday that Kerry Wood (finger) will reclaim ninth-inning duties once he is activated from the disabled list.
Fantasy Source Spin: Wood was placed on the disabled list in mid-July with a blister on his right index finger and only just began throwing from a mound. Chris Perez has filled in admirably with 10 1/3 straight scoreless innings and three saves over that span, but Wood's hefty contract rules all. "Whenever Kerry's ready, he'll close," Acta said. "But Chris is not going anywhere."

Tue Jul 27, 2010 11:04 amDontrelle Willis faced live hitters on Monday afternoon at the Giants' spring training complex in Arizona.
Fantasy Source Spin: Willis will continue working out in Arizona until he is cleared for live action. Once given that clearance, he's expected to spend a few days at rookie ball before moving on to Triple-A Fresno. The Giants inked the left-hander to a minor league contract in mid-July after he was dumped by the D'Backs.
Source: Giants.mlb.com
Tue Jul 27, 2010 10:30 amJeff Fulchino (elbow) made a one-inning minor league rehab appearance on Monday at Triple-A Round Rock.
Fantasy Source Spin: Fulchino threw eight of his 12 pitches for strikes and allowed just one hit. He's scheduled to make appearances on Wednesday and Friday before possibly rejoining the Astros over the weekend. The right-handed reliever has been out since the end of June with tendinitis in his throwing elbow.
Source: Houston Chronicle
Tue Jul 27, 2010 8:56 amWhite Sox manager Ozzie Guillen confirmed Monday that Bobby Jenks is back to closing games for the club.
Fantasy Source Spin: Jenks was given some time off from the role after blowing his second save of the season last week against the lowly Mariners. "I never took the job away from Jenks. I never did," Guillen said. "I just said I want Jenks to throw the ball better and we will put him in a position to get back on track to see what he is. I keep saying this." Jenks has a 4.95 ERA and 1.57 WHIP.

Mon Jul 26, 2010 11:37 pmBrandon Lyon received a cortisone shot in his right forearm Monday to help battle a rash he has been dealing with over the past few days.
Fantasy Source Spin: Lyon scratched up his forearm last week and his skin reacted upon applying a bandage. "They put a bandage on it, and his arm reacted to the bandage," said Astros manager Brad Mills. "He got a rash, and it was really bothering him. It's a pretty good rash, so he went to the doctor, and the doctor gave him some stuff to calm the rash down." It should have no impact on his availability to pitch.
Source: Astros.mlb.com
Mon Jul 26, 2010 10:49 pmA source tells Alex Speier of WEEI.com that a deal sending Ramon Ramirez to the Mets was "probably not going to happen at this point."
Fantasy Source Spin: The source told Speier that the two sides had discussed different scenarios, some including Rod Barajas, some not. According to the report, negotiations were driven primarily by the Mets' interest in Ramirez. Either way, it appears talks fizzled last week.
Source: WEEI.com
Mon Jul 26, 2010 8:25 pmJayson Stark of ESPN.com reports that the Yankees are trying to trade Chan Ho Park.
Fantasy Source Spin: Park has been a pretty big dud since signing a one-year, $1.2 million contract in February, spending nearly a month on the DL with a hamstring injury and posting a disappointing 5.57 ERA over 25 relief appearances. The Yankees probably won't ask for much in return, but the 37-year-old right-hander isn't likely to drum up much interest.
Source: Jayson Stark on Twitter
Mon Jul 26, 2010 7:03 pmAngels optioned RHP Trevor Bell to Triple-A Salt Lake.
Fantasy Source Spin: Bell was tagged for four runs over 3 1/3 innings in a loss to the Rangers on Sunday. With off-days on Thursday and next Monday, the Angels have the option of skipping the fifth starter through the next time in the rotation.
Mon Jul 26, 2010 6:59 pmAngels purchased the contract of RHP Michael Kohn from Triple-A Salt Lake.
Fantasy Source Spin: Kohn has a 1.95 ERA and 1.19 WHIP over 26 relief appearances with the Bees this season. The 24-year-old right-hander possesses an electric fastball that touches the mid-90s and has averaged 13.6 K/9 over parts of three seasons in the minors. His command remains a question mark, however.
Mon Jul 26, 2010 5:25 pmDana Eveland has been placed on the minor league disabled list because of "some tightness in his elbow."
Fantasy Source Spin: "We've got him shut down from throwing and are trying to rehab him back," said Pirates director player of development Kyle Stark. Eveland, who was acquired from the Blue Jays early last month, was demoted to the minors after posting an 8.38 ERA over three starts with the Bucs.
Source: Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Mon Jul 26, 2010 1:14 pmJon Paul Morosi of FOXSports.com reports that the Rays have expressed some interest in Diamondbacks reliever Chad Qualls.
Fantasy Source Spin: Qualls opened the season as the D'Backs' closer, but he lost the job quickly and is currently sporting an 8.49 ERA, 2.11 WHIP and 32/15 K/BB ratio over 35 innings. Maybe a change of scenery will help him right the ship. The Mets have also been linked to Qualls, but their current level of interest is unknown.
Source: Jon Paul Morosi on Twitter
Mon Jul 26, 2010 11:54 amAlex Speier of WEEI.com reports that the Blue Jays are seeking "one or two" top prospects in exchange for lefty reliever Scott Downs.
Fantasy Source Spin: That won't be happening. Downs is enjoying a nice 2010 campaign and would make a great addition to any contending team's bullpen, but not at the cost of a future star. The Yankees and Red Sox are believed to have the most interest. The Twins, Mets and Reds have also been linked.
Mon Jul 26, 2010 11:32 amJonny Venters' four-game suspension appeal will be heard Tuesday.
Fantasy Source Spin: Venters was handed the punishment one week ago for intentionally throwing at Brewers slugger Prince Fielder. He's been able to make four appearances since and owns an impressive 1.13 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 48/23 K/BB ratio in 48 innings this season as a setup man for the Braves.
Source: Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Mon Jul 26, 2010 9:50 amRob Biertempfel of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review suspects that Evan Meek and Joel Hanrahan will split closing duties if Octavio Dotel is traded.
Fantasy Source Spin: The Bucs are believed to be shopping Dotel, who has posted a 4.50 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 20 saves in 25 chances this season, but no deal is imminent. The non-waiver trade deadline is Saturday, July 31, so talks will need to pick up this week. Hanrahan and Meek have been excellent in setup this year.
Source: Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
Sun Jul 25, 2010 9:33 pmJohn Grabow (knee) hasn't yet thrown off the mound and will not be back next week.
Fantasy Source Spin: Grabow said what should be obvious: his left knee is taking longer to heal than expected. He was placed on the disabled list at the end of June and had a 7.36 ERA in 28 outings at that time.
Source: Carrie Muskat on Twitter
Sun Jul 25, 2010 5:57 pmPirates optioned RHP Brad Lincoln to Triple-A Indianapolis.
Fantasy Source Spin: Lincoln allowed six runs in 6 1/3 innings against the Padres on Sunday and was promptly expelled from the active roster. He posted a 6.57 ERA and 21/14 K/BB in 50 2/3 innings with the Pirates, but will return to a 3.16 ERA at Indy. It's likely he will return to Pittsburgh at some point this season.
Sun Jul 25, 2010 5:54 pmPirates designated RHP Brendan Donnelly for assignment.
Fantasy Source Spin: The Pirates signed Donnelly to a one-year, $1.35 million contract with performance-based incentives over the winter using money they saved by non-tendering closer Matt Capps. How's that working out? The 38-year-old Donnelly had one stint on the disabled list and posted a 5.58 ERA in 38 games while healthy.
Sun Jul 25, 2010 5:38 pmESPN.com's Buster Olney reports that rival executives believe the Nationals will trade Matt Capps.
Fantasy Source Spin: Capps, who signed a one-year, $3.5 million deal with the Nats in January after being non-tendered by the Pirates, has been one of the best off-season bargains in baseball. He's eligible for arbitration in the winter and Olney poses a prudent question: Will Washington pay him $6-7 million next season? With Drew Storen and Tyler Clippard on the roster, that would appear doubtful. Capps has produced 24 saves and a 2.93 ERA in 44 appearances. Storen would likely be his replacement if he's dealt.
Source: Buster Olney on Twitter
Sun Jul 25, 2010 5:23 pmAndrew Bailey (upper back strain) is hoping to return to the mound on Tuesday in Texas.
Fantasy Source Spin: He's been out since Tuesday, when he earned a win against the Red Sox by tossing two shutout innings. "Hopefully with Monday's off-day," Bailey said, "that will give me enough rest for Tuesday. Each and every day it's getting better, but right now it's still a work in progress. This is kind of new to me, so I don't really know what to expect." Bailey's posted a 1.56 ERA this season and hasn't allowed a run in 13 of his last 15 appearances. The A's obviously want him back for a big series against the division-leading Rangers.
Source: MLB.com
Sun Jul 25, 2010 1:39 pmThe price tag for reliever Scott Downs is high, according to ESPN's Buster Olney.
Fantasy Source Spin: The Blue Jays feel that they should be compensated extra in any deal for Downs due to the fact that he is likely to be a Type A free agent at the end of the season and they could receive a pair of draft picks if he signs elsewhere. However, some rival executives think that shouldn't matter, because they don't think any team would give up two draft picks to sign a non-closer. It will be interesting to see if a) Downs gets traded at all and b) if he is, what Toronto is able to get for him.
Sun Jul 25, 2010 11:26 amZach Braddock (shoulder) is scheduled for a bullpen session Sunday.
Fantasy Source Spin: The left-hander has been unavailable for the last few days due to shoulder fatigue. If Sunday's session goes well, Braddock will be ready to go for Monday. The southpaw holds a 3.54 ERA and 10.2 K/9 rate over 20 1/3 innings for the Brew Crew.

Wilson made only two appearances before undergoing Tommy John surgery in mid-April, effectively ending his 2012 season. There were some warning signs during his 2011 campaign, including losses in velocity and control. The surgery will hopefully allow him to rebound fully, but the Giants found an alternative in Sergio Romo late last season.
Fantasy Source Spin: Wilson's reputation alone should allow him to get his role back at some point, though it remains to be seen how good his control will be after the injury.
Source: Fantasy Source
Thu Jan 31, 2013 11:29 am
Williams opened 2012 as the Angels' fifth starter after re-emerging late in 2011, but his results were mixed. The former top prospect had a 4.83 ERA in 15 starts, though his plus command still showed and could get him another opportunity in the future.
Fantasy Source Spin: Good command still makes him a potential single-league fill-in if he gets starts again.

Wilhelmsen's great story culminated with the closer role in Seattle, as he replaced the struggling Brandon League last season. Wilhelmsen signed with Seattle in 2009 after a four-year hiatus from baseball, and his mid-90s fastball has made him a dominant reliever for the club. His 9.9 K/9 rate and 3.00 K/BB ratio of 2012 is the stuff of pure closers, and Wilhelmsen pitched even better in save situations than normal with a 1.76 ERA.
Fantasy Source Spin: Some will think Wilhelmsen is unproven as a closer, but all the peripherals show he can be a fine second-tier option.

After emerging as the Angels' surprise closer in 2011, Walden converted only one save last season before losing the job in late April. He never converted another and spent much of the second half on the DL, but he was similarly dominant when he was on the mound with a 11.1 K/9 rate for the season. He was swapped for Tommy Hanson in the offseason.
Fantasy Source Spin: This still-dominant reliever probably hasn't seen his last opportunity to close, but it's unlikely to come this year.
Thu Jan 31, 2013 11:21 am
The Cubs were happy to acquire Vizcaino for Paul Maholm and Reed Johnson at the trade deadline, getting a top prospect for a minimal expense. Vizcaino missed all of last season after Tommy John surgery, but he generated plenty of buzz in 2011 with a strong showing in relief for the Braves after posting a 3.06 ERA among three levels of the minors. His major league role remains to be seen, but he has the top-of-the-line stuff to be a top starter or a closer.
Fantasy Source Spin: He will be handled with kid gloves in his return from injury, but Vizcaino could have fantasy value this season if the Cubs let him loose.
Mon Jun 23, 2014 8:44 am
Joe Smith allowed a home run to Brad Snyder in the ninth inning of Sunday's win over the Rangers.
Fantasy Source Spin: But he struck out two of the other three batters he faced to protect the Angels' late lead. It was a non-save situation. Smith is currently in a committee at closer with Ernesto Frieri, Mike Morin and maybe a few others.
Thu Jun 19, 2014 5:03 pm
Carlos Martinez will start Sunday against the Phillies.
Fantasy Source Spin: He'll take the place of Michael Wacha, who will have his turn skipped in the rotation in order to give him a little rest. Martinez allowed an unearned run on two hits over four innings against the Mets on Monday. He might not work deep into the game on Sunday either, but he could make for an appealing streaming option.

Ernesto Frieri served up a walkoff grand slam to Nick Swisher on Thursday afternoon in Cleveland.
Fantasy Source Spin: Anaheim led 3-1 heading into the bottom of the 10th inning and Cam Bedrosian was brought in for the save. But manager Mike Scoiscia turned back to Frieri after Bedrosian loaded the bases on two walks and a double. That's when Swisher went deep to win it. The Angels' bullpen is a mess right now.
Tue Jun 17, 2014 12:59 am
Hector Rondon returned to action on Monday and struck out the side in his inning of work against the Marlins.
Fantasy Source Spin: Rondon hadn't pitched in 10 days because of elbow soreness. He gave up a hit and a walk during his inning tonight and threw 26 pitches, so we really doubt that he'll be available again on Tuesday. Technically, he's still probably the Cubs' closer. However, Neil Ramirez figures to be used in the ninth if there's a save situation tomorrow.
Mon May 26, 2014 6:14 pm
Zach Britton tossed a scoreless 10th inning Monday against the Brewers for his third save of the season.
Fantasy Source Spin: Coming in to protect a one-run lead, Britton got Scooter Gennett to ground out to second base for the first out, but Khris Davis followed with a single before Lyle Overbay drew a walk. However, Britton was able to get Irving Falu to ground into a double play to end the game. It's increasingly clear that he's the pitcher to own in this bullpen in fantasy leagues.

Panel Discussions - Wednesday, June 08, 2011
Norway Crown Princess on Women's Empowerment and Gender Equality
IPI held a standing-room-only meeting on girls, women and HIV on June 8th with a high-level panel that featured HRH Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway, who highlighted the importance of prioritizing young people and working with them as key agents of change.
Watch video >>
The policy forum, "Prevention and Protection Save Lives: Girls, Women and HIV" coincided with the United Nations' meeting on HIV/AIDS, marking 30 years of global efforts to stop the AIDS epidemic. Over 120 ambassadors, ministers, parliamentarians, rights advocates, youth and media representatives filled IPI's Trygve Lie Center for the event.
Also among those speaking was UNAIDS Goodwill Ambassador and recording artist Annie Lennox, who emphatically outlined the contradictions between swift responses to epidemics in the developed world versus the ongoing AIDS epidemic, which primarily affects the marginalized and often voiceless: women in developing countries.
The forum was moderated by UNAIDS Goodwill Ambassador James Chau. The UN Secretary-General's Every Woman Every Child effort was particularly highlighted as a critical step forward in ensuring quality care for all girls and women, as well as collaborative efforts across sectors and throughout the world. Panelists discussed the UN Secretary-General's recent report reflecting the agency-wide goal of reaching zero new infections, zero discrimination and zero AIDS-related deaths.
In her remarks, Purnima Mane, Deputy Executive Director (Programs) of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) emphasized that success in these areas requires the integration of maternal and reproductive health services with HIV/AIDS services, including the provision of information and of contraceptives.
Michelle Bachelet drew from her varied experiences as a doctor, mother, President of Chile and now Executive Director of UN Women to demonstrate the connections between integration and both gender equity and women's rights.
Carmen Barroso, Regional Director of International Planned Parenthood Western Hemisphere Region (IPPF/WHR), pointed to the link between health and rights, and spoke about some of her organization's programs on the ground providing information and access to condoms.
Youth advocate Lindsay Menard-Freeman of the Global Youth Coalition on HIV/AIDS explained that prioritization of young people--and young women in particular--is especially critical, as young women are at most risk for contracting HIV and their input is needed in the development of policies and programs which will best serve them.
Jan Beagle, Deputy Executive Director of UNAIDS, discussed how sociocultural ideas play into girls' and women's ability to make decisions to stay healthy and HIV-free. "We know what works," she said.
Closing out the event was Ambassador Morten Wetland of Norway, who demonstrated the commitment of his country and others to saving the lives of girls and women by expressing the hope that all present--whether in person or watching online--would carry some part of what they heard at the forum with them.
The forum was co-hosted by Women Deliver, IPI, the Permanent Mission of Norway to the UN and Family Care International. The opening remarks were delivered by IPI's President, Terje Rød-Larsen.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Private bus firm seeks to take on Greyhound
A privately owned inter-city bus company is making a pitch to operate in competition with Greyhound in Manitoba.
Calgary-based Pacific Western Transportation announced Monday it will tour four Manitoba towns and cities, including Winnipeg, next week to show off its buses. The visit comes as a provincial subsidy agreement between Manitoba and Greyhound is about to expire.
Pacific Western said its eBus motorcoach division provides "economical, efficient and safe transportation" in Alberta. It says its 48-seat buses are equipped with extra legroom, lap belts, a washroom, wireless Internet and 110-volt power outlets.
A little over two years ago, Greyhound Canada shocked the province and the mostly rural and northern Manitobans who rely on its service by announcing it would cease passenger service in Manitoba. The company said it could no longer afford to run buses on many unprofitable routes, as required by government.
Since then, the provincial government has paid a series of subsidies to Greyhound to maintain service to remote locations while it works on a permanent solution. The latest agreement expires March 31.
Now, another company is interested in providing inter-city service.
"PWT can help the Manitoba government achieve a long-term solution to the inter-city bus problem that was created in 2009," company vice-president Garry Clermont said in a statement. "We can help phase out government subsidies, and work with local providers to develop a made-in-Manitoba hub-and-spoke model that increases bus use and improves service."
The Manitoba government would have to approve any new inter-city bus service provider.
Jodee Mason, a provincial spokeswoman, said no talks have yet been held between Pacific Western and the government, although officials will listen to the company's pitch next week. "There's definitely no negotiating going on with them right now," Mason said.
Doug Dobrowolski, president of the Association of Manitoba Municipalities, said he welcomed interest from another inter-city bus carrier. The AMM has expressed concern at Greyhound's potential departure.
"I think competition is good," he said. "I just hope it doesn't give an excuse for Greyhound to leave."
A spokesman for Greyhound Canada could not be reached on Monday.
Kelly Aizicowitz, a spokeswoman for PWT, said the tour will serve as the company's introduction to Manitobans. The company will visit Thompson, Flin Flon, The Pas and Winnipeg between Jan. 16 and Jan. 20.
Aizicowitz said Pacific Western Transportation is interested in providing coach service to more than just these towns and cities in Manitoba, but an expanded list won't be released until next week.
-- Who is Pacific Western Transportation?
A privately owned Calgary-based company that provides inter-city bus service in Alberta, a regional medical transportation service in British Columbia and urban transit services in Ontario.
-- What is it offering?
Next week, PWT will demonstrate its inter-city and medical buses in four Manitoba towns and cities -- Winnipeg, Thompson, Flin Flon and The Pas.
-- When is the company doing its Winnipeg show and tell?
On Jan. 20, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., at the Gateway Community Centre (Blue Room), 600 Bonner Ave.

Students Create Statewide Education Campaign
Students in COMM 370 Health Communication have developed a statewide public health education campaign to inform Illinois residents about the impacts of the federal healthcare reform law. The campaign, "I'LL Be Healthy," was created for the non-profit Illinois Maternal and Child Health Coalition, which was the class pro bono client during fall semester.
The campaign features a logo with the words "I'LL Be Healthy" superimposed on an outline of the state of Illinois. "I'LL" plays on the state's abbreviation, and refers both to Illinois as a whole and to Illinois residents as individuals. The theme was the idea of junior Ericka Reyes, and senior Meg Herbst designed the logo and all the other visual elements.
"It was important for the logo to make the campaign exclusive to Illinois so residents can recognize it and have a proud attachment to their state," Herbst said.
The Affordable Care Act, which was enacted in 2010 and upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2012, is a dense 1,000-page document few Americans understand. President Barack Obama's reelection paved the way for continued implementation of the law, including key provisions due to take effect in 2014. An awareness gap persists, however. Because the law has been so controversial, and because its fate was tied to the presidential campaign, there has been little intelligent public discussion about the specifics of putting the law into action. Many Americans who can get – or will soon – improved healthcare access, additional benefits, or cost savings do not realize what's ahead.
As a result, federal and state governments have begun to think about ways to raise awareness of the Affordable Care Act through public education campaigns. "I'LL Be Healthy" could be that campaign in Illinois, according to Kathy Waligora, policy and communication coordinator for the Illinois Maternal and Child Health Coalition. Waligora said she and other leaders of the coalition "agree that this is such a strong concept it could become the state-sponsored outreach campaign. That would be a huge boost for us and obviously a great accomplishment for the student team."
Waligora said the coalition plans to present the campaign to BlueCross Blue Shield of Illinois, the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services, and the Illinois Department of Insurance to try to get funding for implementation. The coalition also bought the domain name for the website and registered the Facebook and Twitter accounts.
Campaign elements include a website, print and radio public service announcements, a brochure, news conferences around the state to launch the campaign, and intensive use of social media. "Social media lends itself very well to this campaign because it allows real‑time communication between the organization and its audiences," said junior Laura Kujava.
Waligora said she was thrilled by the campaign and loved its bold visuals. "The campaign really succeeds in boiling down the complexities of the Affordable Care Act into a few key points," she told the students.
The campaign was created to be inclusive – geographically, demographically, socially, and politically. And by highlighting the stories and photos of real Illinois residents, the campaign aims to show to show all Illinoisans how the Affordable Care Act can impact them and their families.
By using simple, clear language instead of jargon, the campaign is designed to help educate Illinois residents. In addition, by explaining the next steps for the law, the campaign makes it clear that Illinois residents have a stake in whether the law is implemented in a timely and effective way in the state.
Asst. Prof. Marjorie Kruvand, who taught the course, said she was amazed by what the seven students accomplished. "It was creativity and teamwork at its best, with students pitching in to help each other and complete the project on time," she said. "The students also learned an incredible amount about healthcare. They're now experts on the Affordable Care Act."

Searchers find missing plane in Idaho; 5 dead
The wreckage of a small plane that crashed in Idaho more than a month ago, killing a Silicon Valley executive and the four others aboard, has been located following a persistent online and ground search that included the pilot's brother, officials and family members said.
The wreckage of a small plane that crashed in Idaho more than a month ago, killing a Silicon Valley executive and the four others aboard, has been located following a persistent online and ground search that included the pilot's brother, officials and family members said.
Debris from the single-engine plane was located in the central Idaho mountains Saturday, but Valley County Sheriff's Lt. Dan Smith said an incoming storm may delay recovery efforts.
The aircraft had been carrying the 51-year-old pilot, Dale Smith, a software executive from San Jose, Calif.; his son, Daniel Smith and his wife, Sheree Smith; and daughter Amber Smith with her fiance, Jonathan Norton, officials said.
The plane was flying from eastern Oregon, where the family had been spending the Thanksgiving holiday, to Montana, where Daniel and Sheree Smith live, when it disappeared Dec. 1, in the mountains 150 miles northeast of Boise.
Dale Smith's wife, Janis, said her husband's brother, Dellon Smith of Anchorage, Alaska, was one of the private searchers who located the wreckage. Dellon Smith told her the plane had broken apart and was buried in snow. He told her it was obvious from the crash site that those aboard died quickly, she said.
"It's a real sense of closure to know exactly what happened and to know that they didn't suffer at all," she told The Associated Press.
Authorities had suspended the official search for the aircraft in mid-December, but volunteers, including friends and family, continued with a private search that used online analysis of satellite and other images of the terrain.
In this case, a pilot thought he spotted reflecting metal and the online searchers began studying landscape photos of that area, Janis Smith said. That led to a ground search.
"Dellon and his crew spent the entire day, from 3am onward trying to find the right location," she wrote on the plane search Facebook page. "The snow was very deep and the going was very slow. Less than two hours before they needed to wrap up the search for the foreseeable future," they found the wreckage.
Dale Smith reported engine trouble and sought information about a backcountry landing strip where he hoped to put the plane down safely.
Janis Smith said it appears the plane crashed moments after the last communication. She said the plane had caught fire.
According to Federal Aviation Administration records, Smith, an executive and co-founder of San Jose-based SerialTek, obtained his pilot's license in 2005.
Rand Kriech, who co-founded SerialTek with Smith in 2007, said he got a call Friday evening, telling him the wreckage had been found.
The private search initially involved hundreds of online volunteers analyzing satellite images of the terrain, looking for clues like damaged trees that might indicate a crash site, and posting that information back to the search website, Kriech said in a telephone interview.
His daughter, Kayla Kriech of San Ramon, Calif., said she was one of the administrators of the search website.
Satellite images were often unclear and cloud cover was a problem, so the search evolved, she said.
Volunteer pilots strapped tiny GoPro cameras to their aircraft, flew assigned grid patterns, and then grabbed screen shots every eight seconds or so from the video, Kayla Kriech said.
Information from those images was then analyzed.
One of those online volunteers was Sylvia Leach, who said she was a stay-at-home mom from the Aspen, Colo., area and joined the online effort after hearing about the missing family from a blog.
Leach said she spent several hours daily looking for the crash site.
"It wasn't an obsession, but I just knew that if it were my family, I'd want somebody to do the same for me," she told the AP.
Leach expressed sadness that there were no survivors.
"I held out hope, right until the end," she said.
