We assess whether there is evidence of an association between socioeconomic position (SEP) and HIV risk-relevant behavior among lower income heterosexual men and women in San Francisco. Respondents residing in low income areas with high heterosexual AIDS case burden in San Francisco were recruited through long-chain referral in 2006–2007. Risk measures included unprotected vaginal intercourse, concurrency and exchange sex. SEP was defined as household annual income, per capita income, and employment. Analyses utilized mixed and fixed effects models. A total of 164 men and 286 women were included in the study. SEP was only significant in the case of exchange sex among men: men reporting annual income greater than $30,000 had significantly lower odds of exchange sex relative to other men. Evaluating the connection between economic status and HIV requires additional studies covering diverse populations. Future studies should focus on community economic context as well as individual SEP.

BOISE, ID -- (Marketwire) -- 01/29/13 -- Keeping track of time. For businesses and individuals around the world, this remains a perennial New Year's resolution. Only now, more people are leaning on technology to tackle time tracking. TSheets, a leading timekeeping tech company based in Eagle, Idaho, offers proof in numbers. From 2011 to 2012, new sign-ups for the cloud-based time tracking and management software increased by 60 percent. In the start of 2013 alone, the upward spike in usage is even more impressive. If current trends persist, projected new accounts will increase by 100% this year.
TSheets now has tens of thousands of users in 30 different countries, with the U.S. being its largest market. So why the rush to online time tracking? "Flexibility, mobility, and real usability," say users that add up in business and in real life.
"Our payroll system was antiquated, with some locations using time clocks and some handwriting their time," says Diane Lovaas, accounting clerk at Tehama Tire Service with eight tire installation locations across Oregon and California. "My hardest obstacles were first and foremost getting the time cards here, and then totaling them was a nightmare."
All told, Lovaas once took 11 hours to gather and interpret time cards then perform payroll. After switching to TSheets, where employees in multiple locations can access time tracking tools on a website, mobile phone, and other devices, the entire process can be done in an hour.
"All I need to check when I receive my reports are the new entries for employee draws, medical, etc. I know the time itself is correct," notes Lovaas. "It has eliminated so many of the issues we were having, as I can oversee what the locations are doing daily, instead of at the end of each pay period."
More than anything, TSheets owes its success to its unique and continued focus on the employees that actually "use" TSheets on a daily basis. Around the world, users are excited about how TSheets has simplified time tracking. Katrina, an employee of DxR Development Group and user of TSheets says, "I love the one-click clock-in aspect, as opposed to the multiple selections that had to be made using our old time card system. There have also been no technical problems; I have nothing I dislike about TSheets." Katrina's comment is testimony to the TSheets mantra, "Businesses will love us because employees love us."
TSheets has seen the most growth in industries that need more flexibility and mobility in time tracking. Construction clients have grown by 35 percent, technology and technical services users by 13 percent, and professional services customers by 11 percent. Financial and tax services, as well as medical and healthcare fields, have each grown by 5 percent.
With clients ranging from small businesses to large international organizations, TSheets is the #1 employee rated and requested time tracking system on the planet.

Yahoo and Comcast announced today that they will partner for displaying advertising on the Comcast website. Interesting when Comcast recently joined FastMedia who is looking to take on Google, Yahoo and Microsoft.
In a ZDNet article, "FAST claims, optimistically, that within two years the FAST Media Network of sites will surpass Google in search and advertising activity. It is an expression of the long tail of search, according to Perry Solomon, vice president and general manager of FAST's Media Solutions Group. "More and more people are building specialized search, with local ads and moving out the evil empire guys [Google, Yahoo and Microsoft]".
Should be interesting to find out if Comcast is still part of the FastMedia partnership.
The rest of the Comcast, Yahoo press release read:
Comcast Corporation (Nasdaq: CMCSK, CMCSA), the nation's leading provider of cable, entertainment and communications products and services, today announced that Comcast Interactive Media and Yahoo! Inc. (Nasdaq: YHOO), a leading global Internet company and one of the most trafficked Internet destinations worldwide, have entered into a multi-year strategic partnership for online display and video advertising services on Comcast.net. Comcast.net is a top 10 online site with more than 2.5 billion page views, more than 80 million videos viewed and 15 million unique visitors per month.
"We are delighted with our new long-term strategic partnership with Yahoo!. Their scale, experienced sales force, advertiser relationships and industry leading display advertising capabilities will bring significant new monetization opportunities to Comcast.net.," said Amy L. Banse, president, Comcast Interactive Media. "As Comcast continues to grow its online presence we will monetize our other online sites while driving innovative cross-platform services and creating new business models."
Yahoo!'s advertising sales organization will be the primary marketing and sales channel for Comcast.net display and video advertising. Comcast.net will tap into Yahoo!'s extensive network of leading brand advertisers and benefit from Yahoo!'s sophisticated ad-serving, targeting and inventory management capabilities to enable the pricing, targeting, delivery and reporting of display and video advertisements. Comcast Spotlight will continue to bundle Comcast.net in cross-platform and locally-targeted advertising packages to its growing base of local, regional and national advertisers through its existing sales force of over 3,000 sales executives.
"This announcement is consistent with our goal to create the leading advertising marketplace and give our advertisers the ability to connect with their target customers wherever they are on the Internet," said Hilary Schneider, executive vice president of the Local Markets and Commerce Division and the Yahoo! Publisher Network Division at Yahoo!. " With Comcast's high quality broadband audiences, trusted brands can effectively extend their reach and impact as we continue to deliver our advertisers' most relevant marketing messages to the most highly qualified audiences at the right place and time."
Yahoo! and Comcast Interactive Media will collaborate to create and market new sponsorships and custom advertising packages that are supported by Yahoo!'s platform. Yahoo!'s advertising services will be integrated within the redesigned Comcast.net planned later this year. The redesigned Comcast.net will include enhanced features, user experience and new advertising opportunities across the site. Search services and Comcast Interactive Media's other properties are not part of the partnership.

Plea talks for sergeant charged in Iraq shooting
A lawyer for an Army sergeant charged with killing four other soldiers and a Navy officer at a mental health clinic in Iraq said Wednesday he's talking with prosecutors about a possible plea agreement that would spare Sgt. John Russell from the death penalty.
The Associated Press
A lawyer for an Army sergeant charged with killing four other soldiers and a Navy officer at a mental health clinic in Iraq said Wednesday he's talking with prosecutors about a possible plea agreement that would spare Sgt. John Russell from the death penalty.
If an agreement is reached, Russell would plead guilty to intentional murder in the five deaths, James Culp said in an email.
The prosecution would likely seek a sentence of life without parole, Culp said.
"If the negotiations are successful, and they appear to be going in that direction, Sgt. Russell would waive the right to assert a defense of lack of mental responsibility for the killings in this case," Culp said.
Russell is accused of going on a shooting spree at the Camp Liberty Combat Stress Center near Baghdad in May 2009.
His defense team has said he has no memory of the killings, and witnesses have said he appeared distant and paranoid before the attack
Russell, who is from Sherman, Texas, is being held at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, about 40 miles south of Seattle.
The shooting was one of the worst instances of soldier-on-soldier violence in the Iraq war and raised questions about the mental health problems for soldiers caused by repeated tours of duty.
A hearing on possible charges was held in August 2009 at Fort Leavenworth, Kan. Two evaluations presented during that hearing said Russell suffered from severe depression with psychotic features and chronic post-traumatic stress disorder. A March 2011 evaluation said the major depression with psychotic features was in partial remission.
Russell was nearing the end of his third tour when his behavior changed, members of his unit testified in 2009. They said he became more distant in the days before the May 11, 2009, attack, and that he seemed paranoid that his unit was trying to end his career.
On May 8, Russell sought help at a combat stress clinic at Camp Stryker, where his unit was located. On May 10 Russell was referred to the Camp Liberty clinic, where he received counseling and prescription medication.
Witnesses said the following day they saw Russell crying and talking about hurting himself. He went back to the Camp Liberty clinic, where a doctor told him he needed to get help or he would hurt himself. Russell tried to surrender to military police to lock him up so he wouldn't hurt himself or others, witnesses said.
Military prosecutors say Russell left the clinic and later returned with a rifle he took from his unit headquarters and began firing.
Killed in the shooting were Navy Cmdr. Charles Springle, 52, of Wilmington, N.C., and four Army service members: Pfc. Michael Edward Yates Jr., 19, of Federalsburg, Md.; Dr. Matthew Houseal, of Amarillo, Texas; Sgt. Christian E. Bueno-Galdos, 25, of Paterson, N.J.; and Spc. Jacob D. Barton, 20, of Lenox, Mo.

iRobot unveils new battlefield robots
Robotics has become a disruptive technology in warfare, affecting all of the fighting arenas. Although unmanned air vehicles such as the Predator get most of the attention with stealthy attacks on terrorist targets, hundreds of ground robots are doing the grunt work in Iraq and Afghanistan, detonating roadside bombs, peeking in caves and around corners, and delivering explosives as mechanical martyrs.
Performing what Army officials call the dull, dirty and dangerous missions that humans avoid, those machines alleviate the military's stress by addressing its two main challenges: the need to find cheaper counterinsurgency tactical solutions and the need to keep U.S. and coalition soldiers out of harm's way.
But now, a new generation of battlefield robots is emerging. With expanded features and capabilities, those machines are taking over the roles of soldiers.
iRobot, famous for its Roomba autonomous vacuum cleaner, unveiled two new robots at last week's Association of the U.S. Army (AUSA) conference in Washington, D.C. The Warrior is designed for urban warfare and will be available for deployment by 2008. The company's Small Unmanned Ground Vehicle (SUGV), still in development, will become part of a soldier's personal gear as the smallest member of the Army's Future Combat Systems.
Both are variations of iRobot's popular PackBot unmanned ground vehicle, 500 of which the company has delivered to the Middle East so far. Like its relatives, the PackBot is a treaded robot that has flippers to climb stairs, a mechanical arm with seven degrees of freedom, and various cameras, sensors and communication tools.
The Warrior weighs 200 pounds, can match the speed of an Olympic runner and the ground mobility of a soldier, and can carry 150 pounds, said Helen Greiner, iRobot's chairman and co-founder.
"The Warrior, with its capabilities and some autonomy, could start to act like a member of the squad," she said. That capability "is paradigm-shifting."
The Warrior uses a modular approach to carry various payloads, so its operators can configure it for weapons, reconnaissance, retrieving casualties from the battlefield and firefighting. Versions of the Warrior on display at the AUSA conference sported multiple shotguns and .30-caliber machine guns.
At a payload developer's conference last year, companies pitched accessories for the Warrior, including infrared and night vision technologies, and devices to detect chemical and biological agents.
The SUGV, however, is designed to be "man-packable," said retired Vice Adm. Joe Dyer, president of iRobot's Government and Industrial division. A quieter, smarter, smaller version of the PackBot, SUGV will have multispectral sensors, X-ray capability, bomb sensors and other capabilities, Dyer said.
The SUGV will be the only small robot among FCS' seven unmanned ground platforms, said Alan Walls, FCS lead system integrator and unmanned ground vehicle integrated product team leader at Science Applications International Corp. The Army plans to equip soldiers with 80 units for each of FCS' 15 combat brigades, to be deployed around 2012. Meanwhile, FCS is using the PackBot for experimentation, he said.
The SUGV will operate as a node on the FCS network, using the Joint Tactical Radios System to transmit data throughout the command chain, Walls said. The military will rely on the robot primarily for reconnaissance using its changeable sensor capabilities.
The iRobot Aware firmware, sitting atop a Linux operating system, gives the robots many functions and uses behavior mechanisms to guide autonomous decision-making. But someday, swarming technology will enable the robots to work together, independent of human direction.
IRobot is working on a swarm project with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology that involves 128 robots working as a team. The swarm passes relevant information among close members through infrared technology and thereby builds cohesive data for the group, said former MIT researcher Helen Greiner, iRobot's chairman and co-founder.
The architecture mimics the way an ant colony works, Greiner said. "Individual ants have an agent architecture running on them, and each has an individual program, so to speak," she said.
Ants work together to haul items, build nests and find food, often communicating by leaving a trail for others to follow. Robots can be designed to behave in a similar way, Greiner said.

This is possibly the quickest and easiest sponge or muffin mix you will ever make. It can be made with any combination of Muscle King Whey protein and I find Walden farm sauces and toppings great to increase the number of tasty combinations. I have only featured two so please feel free to send in your combinations.
Although this is called a mug muffin and is designed for convenience to make in a mug, it is just as good as a sponge in a bowl. In fact one of my favourites is vanilla sponge with blueberries and Walden farm blueberry sin free sauce. The picture on the left is Walden farm Caramel dip mixed through the sponge prior to cooking to give the marble effect.
Walden farm is calorie free so doesn't effect the macros of your snack.
Nutritional values (approx.)
Calories – 155.9Kcal
Protein – 21.8g
Carbs – 3.3g
Fats – 5.92g
Choc Mint Muscle King whey protein powder is used in this sponge. Microwaved for 1 minute with Walden Farm Chocolate sauce drizzled on the top. This adds a little something to the sticky spongy texture which is easily created in your protein minute mug muffin.
This is the Mug muffin as it looks as soon as you take it out of the microwave. It will shrink back a little. Below is a version with the sauce drizzled on the top. It is very easy to create this mug muffin and instead of a drizzle of your favourite flavour on the top, you can put it inside the muffin.
To do this, when you pour the mix into the bottom of the mug, or if you have mixed it in the mug already, simply make a little hole in the centre and push your sauce, or even almond nut butter into the middle. Ensure that it is completely submerged. As it cooks the sponge mix will cook over the top. Use approximately 1tsp.
All the featured recipes are created exclusively for Muscle King by Dr Emma Kirke C.Ostm Distn Consultant Osteomyologist & Clinical Nutritional Therapist.

By The Art Newspaper. Market, Issue 191, May 2008Published online: 01 May 2008
Rumours abound that British collector Charles Saatchi and White Cube's Jay Jopling are locked in competition over the works of hot American artist Terence Koh. Both were bidding on Koh's cast of his own body, The Camel Was God, the Camel Was Shot, 2007 (below) at Phillips de Pury in February (Saatchi eventually secured it for £72,500). The rumour is this is just one of Koh's works that Mr Jopling is actively pursuing. Is UK representation on the cards? White Cube declines to comment.
While Takashi Murakami bought a Grayson Perry sculpture at New York's Armory fair, his own works are being collected by Damien Hirst. The British artist has recently bought three small single-flower paintings. Murakami's people would not disclose which ones or at what price, but a similar work, Flower of Joy, Blueberry Mint, 2007, right, sold recently at Phillips de Pury in London for £60,500 ($119,801). Jean Pigozzi, who has amassed the world's largest collection of contemporary African art over the past 18 years, is now turning his eye towards Russia. "Sadly I have been 99% unsuccessful at finding anything up to now that really turned me on," he tells The Art Newspaper, "but I will not give up."Tobias Meyer, Sotheby's star auctioneer and the man who hammered down the most expensive painting ever sold at auction (Picasso's Garçon à la Pipe, $104m, in 2004), jetted in specially to London for the opening party of the John Currin show at Sadie Coles last month. "I am godfather to John's children," said Meyer, noting that "everyone is here, including Lucian Freud." But when asked about his taste, he responded: "I'm an auctioneer, I don't have taste!" n

Speaking at the finish in Armagh on Saturday evening, Hanninen said: "It was one of my toughest victories but also one of my most enjoyable because all the time I was fighting, fighting with Andreas.
"We had to push on every stage but in the end it was he who was unlucky and not me because I think it was about luck on this rally because the changing weather conditions were very difficult and it was easy to get caught out."
Mikkelsen and Jan Kopecky, Hanninen's SKODA teammate, shared the second fastest time.
Mikkelsen fought back into contention following an overshoot on stage eight. He also hit trouble on the first run through the Lisburn test.
He said: "It's disappointing because it was a great fight and this is a rally I wanted to win. But we have made a good start to the season by leading the IRC championship with one win and two second places, so for this reason we have to be happy."
Irishman Craig Breen was fourth fastest in his Saintéloc Racing Peugeot 207. He was on course for an even faster time, but a build-up of smoke in his car put him off his stride.
Robert Barrable was fifth fastest, with Mathieu Arzeno sixth quickest in his Peugeot.
Sepp Wiegand overshot a junction in his SKODA Auto Deutschland Fabia - but still managed to go eighth fastest.
Garry Jennings clinched the IRC Production Cup spoils, with fellow Northern Irish driver Marty McCormack landing IRC 2WD Cup honours.

Posted: · 14 Comments · In VIDEO, WEAPONS, WEB MATERIAL
no lol i saw in a news article. but boy do i hope it wasnt right i love LAV's i was actual hoping to be in a LAV crew when i join
A Stryker is a LAV improvement, you wouldn't miss much.
Oh I know but its used by the army ew
If there wasn't something better than a LAV then the Marines wouldn't have one. Have fun with left overs.
Become a Marine first before you say things like this.
I'm prettu sure all Marines hate Army
I wonder if civilians can get de-militarized versions of the LAV...
Twentynine Palms! Ha, I won't see this area until around 2016 since I'm in the PLC Program XD
they dont hate the army. they are just far more superior compared to them
australian version is better i think
thanks for making things more clear

Buttload of money and you could probably get a really outdated version?

Anne Arundel County police: 2 suspected drug dealers arrested
Two suspected drug dealers were arrested after an investigation that spanned two months, Anne Arundel County police said.
During April and May, police said investigators learned two people were distributing cocaine in the Glen Burnie and Pasadena areas of Anne Arundel County.
Police said detectives conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle on Route 10 South near Furnace Branch Road around 7 p.m. Monday, where they arrested the pair.
As a result of the investigation, a search warrant was executed on a room the pair rented at a Glen Burnie-area hotel. Detectives seized about 70 grams of suspected cocaine (powder) with an approximate street value of $7,000 and $800 in cash.
Police said Stephen Wayne Rodey, 44, and Dawn Denise Samuel, 39, were arrested and charged.

torque of 500 Nm. This Saab is a real competition car. Trimmed down to a
weight of around one ton it can feel at home on any circuit. Amateur racing
driver Nico Gasparatos shows what the Saab can do.

Are you afraid of the SAAB?
This video is really old, we've got the girl racin! Here's footage from
Road America
From www.thecarbeque.com We've worked out all the major problems with our
$400 SAAB, installed a set of EBC race brakes, put on the race Exhaust and the next step will be all the safety
equipment. We will be going to Alston Race Cars in Antioch to get the snow
leopard (our internal codename for the carbeque) measured for the roll
cage. They do amazing work. In the meantime we will begin to devise our
cooker box that'll turn the 900 into a real Carbeque. Until then, enjoy!
