WikiLeaks has lost its PayPal account.
The eBay unit stopped handling contributions to the renegade site late Friday night citing unacceptable use.
Meanwhile, Sweden has issued a new arrest warrant for WikiLeaks leader Julian Assange on allegations of rape, sexual assault and unlawful coercion made in the name of two female Swedish WikiLeaks volunteers in two separate incidents this summer.
Assange is understood to be in the UK and British authorities reportedly had technical problems with the original warrant. They needed to know how much time he's looking at if convicted.
European media, even WikiLeaks itself, are claiming the irresponsible attention-seeking 39-year-old Australian troublemaker could be arrested in the next week to 10 days.
No formal charges have been filed. Swedish authorities say they want to talk to him again. His Swedish lawyer told Reuters Assange will fight extradition. His UK lawyer previously indicated as much.
Wonder whether Assange has been counting on PayPal receipts to pay his mounting legal bills.
PayPal said on its blog that it "has permanently restricted the account used by Wikileaks due to a violation of the PayPal acceptable use policy, which states that our payment service cannot be used for any activities that encourage, promote, facilitate or instruct others to engage in illegal activity. We've notified the account holder of this action."
The New York Times, which has been a party to WikiLeaks' drip-by-drip release of a huge pilfered cache of 252,000 frank diplomatic cables and State Department documents, says it's illegal to leak classified information, but it is not illegal to receive or publish it. Pretty to think so.
Ellsberg decision or no, it's not as simple as that and actually falls into a twilight state of American law under which the US government could charge Assange under the 1917 Espionage Act which covers receiving and retaining stolen government property it asked him to return.
Knowing as much Assange is reportedly afraid of being extradited to the US. He told the Guardian Friday in an online Q&A that he had sent the documents to 100,000 people just in case.
In response to PayPal's move WikiLeaks predictably twittered that the online payment service had bent to "US government pressure."
After Amazon kicked it off its cloud servers, visualization company Tableau Software erased WikiLeaks content from its site and EveryDNS.net pulled the plug on its WikiLeaks.org domain name, WikiLeaks turned up using a Swiss web address that directs traffic to servers in France.
When last seen France's Industry Minister was talking about outlawing WikiLeaks' use of the OVH infrastructure in France but the French servers are only part of WikiLeaks' network which now spans domains in Germany, Finland and Holland, not counting mirror sites. It also has other ways to collect money although Wired claims that "most of the over $1 million in contributions WikiLeaks has drawn in the last year have come through its PayPal account."
According to WikiLeaks' moving web site, which has been repeatedly downed by denial of service attacks this week, it takes in donations at a post office box in Australia, through bank transfers to accounts in Germany and Iceland, and through MasterCard and Visa credit card payments.
Presumably the US government is doing what it can to trace any money flowing to the outlaw site to see if there is a larger destabilizing force behind it than the hordes of titillated individuals cheering it on. It may also be able turn off WikiLeaks' other spigots of cash.
This is not the first time PayPal has cut WikiLeaks off from donations but, judging from Paypal's statement, apparently it is the last. Because PayPal froze WikiLeaks' account twice before the latest brouhaha, contributions intended for it were redirected to the Wau Holland Foundation in Germany, named for a German hacker. So it is actually Wau Holland's account PayPal has terminated.
Meanwhile, the US government has forbidden government workers and contractors without proper clearance to access the documents on WikiLeaks. Well, at least on their office computers. It says the documents' unauthorized disclosure – "whether in print, on a blog or on web sites" – doesn't declassify them. The Library of Congress has blocked access to WikiLeaks.

Nigeria has the largest economy in Africa, at more than US$500 billion, and ranks 23rd in the world. A recent re-evaluation of Nigeria's true economic size doubled the previous estimate, and brought it well ahead of South Africa, which is a member (unlike Nigeria) of the G20 club for political as well as economic reasons. Nigeria's economy can be said to be quite diverse from one point of view, but heavily dependent on oil and gas at the same time. Oil and natural gas account for about 15% of Nigera's overall economy, but traditionally represent more than 90% of the country's exports and as...

8 Ihe Calendars and Chronology ? At the epoch 2769, 372 years later, in the earl/ years of the Third Dynasty, and within a century of the construction of by Augustus of the original Julian calendar of 45 B.C. which had been mis- applied in operation. From the internal evidence it appears that Sosigenea originally intended it to begin at the winter solstice with 5 epagomenal days so that Jan. i should have been 5 days after the solstice. The proleptic result of the revision by Augustus was to place Jan. i, 45 B.C., 7 days after the solstice, and to scatter, or to leave scattered, the 5 epagomenal days through- out the year. The Saints' days calendar of the Christian Churches preserves more clearly the traces of the old Egyptian calendar. Examination shows an organization with the solstice as the first epagomenal day, Christmas day as the 4th epagomenal day (preserving here the calendric position of the Isis festival) and Boxing day (St. Stephen's day) as the 5th epagomenal day. The arrangement of the principal Saints' days may be expressed in terms of a hypothetical Egyptian calendar, commencing at the winter solstice as follows: Date in Gregorian Calendar Dec. 22 » 25 " 26 » 27 Jan. 25 Feb. 24 Mar. 25 Apr. 25 June 24 July 2 5 Aug. 24 Sept, 21 Oct. 17 Dec. 21 Feast [winter solstice] Christmas St. Stephen St. John St. Paul St. Matthias Annunciation St. Mark St. John Baptist St. James St. Bartholomew St. Matthew St. Luke St. Thomas Hypothetic Egyptian Calendar date ist epagomena 4th epagomena $th epagomena i.I 30.1 3o.II 29. Ill 30. IV 30. VI i. VIII i. IX 29. IX 26.X 30. XII Even the divergences from the normal intervals are curiously reminiscent of some of the slight shifts in the date of the Egyptian festivals which occurred between 1541 B.C. and 200 B.C. They suggest that these saints' days were introduced by the Church of Alexandria in order to supplant the Egyptian festivals of the months.

1. Introduction
The Institute of Biomaterials and Biomedical Engineering (IBBME) hosts a diverse array of research and teaching activities as a consequence of a unique association with the Faculty of Engineering as well as the Departments of Medicine and Dentistry. Promoting a healthy and safe environment in the various workspaces across the Institute is a SHARED RESPONSIBILITY of all individuals affiliated with the IBBME, including the University of Toronto Environmental Health & Safety (U of T EH&S), the director of the Institute, all supervisors, faculty, staff and students. The IBBME Safety Committee has created this Manual as a quick resource for the IBBME community, to assist each individual in understanding their rights and responsibilities in relation to a safe work environment.
2.Manual Overview and Definitions
The purpose of the IBBME Safety Manual is to provide any individual working within the Institute a single source of Institute and University Policies clearly outlining workplace responsibility and duties. The IBBME Safety Manual is intended as a supplement to the University of Toronto's Biosafety Policies and Procedures Manual, and contains policies and procedures relevant for all workers at the IBBME.
The Ontario Occupational Health and Safety Act (the "Act") specifies that all University employees (including faculty members, researchers, administrative and other support staff, as well as students) are considered "workers" if they have been paid to perform work or supply services. The Act further defines a "supervisor" as any individual in charge of a workplace or with authority over a worker. Faculty members or principal investigators who oversee a research project(s) are considered to be supervisors. Please refer to Ontario's Occupational Health and Safety Act for specific definitions as well as the U of T Environmental Health & Safety website for supervisory responsibilities.
Every worker has legal obligations under the Occupational Health and Safety Act to ensure that all work, whether at the Institute or in direct relation to the Institute, is conducted in a safe manner. The purpose of the Act is to protect workers from health and safety hazards in the workplace and to establish procedures for dealing with hazards in the workplace. This manual lists the Institute and University policies developed in response to the Act. The Act defines that the employer must take every reasonable precaution to protect workers, and workers (Institute employees, all students paid by the Institute, visiting researchers, or any other individual performing work in the Institute) are forbidden from disobeying safety regulations and knowingly working in an unsafe manner. Fines and/or jail sentences may be (and have been) issued for violations of the Act.
The University and its employees must also abide by a number of other federal, provincial, and municipal regulations related to the Occupational Health and Safety Act. These include, but are not limited to, regulations governing the disposal of wastes, the handling of designated substances, the handling and disposal of radioactive and/or biohazardous materials, and the transport and handling of dangerous goods.
For more detailed information related to Health & Safety concerns, please visit the U of T Environmental Health and Safety website at http://www.ehs.utoronto.ca/Home.htm.
Questions regarding the Occupational Health and Safety Act and related regulations should be directed to:
Office of Environmental Health and Safety
215 Huron Street, 7th Floor
University of Toronto
Tel: (416) 978-4467; Fax: (416) 971-1361
3. IBBME Health and Safety Policies
Recognizing its unique position within the Faculty of Engineering and University of Toronto, the IBBME executes the following IBBME Health and Safety Policies [Occupational Health and Safety Act, 25 (2) (j)]:
Policy #1: Every individual (student, faculty member, researcher, administrative or other support staff, volunteer, etc) shall participate in required safety training at the onset of their tenure with the IBBME (learning period as determined by the contract or direct supervisor), and will proactively maintain up-to-date training as required. Required safety training for work at satellite locations (i.e., UHN; affiliated hospitals) does not substitute for IBBME-specific training.
Consequence:Authorization to enter specific IBBME workspaces (i.e., issuance of key cards or door keys) shall not be permitted until required training has been successfully completed. Repeated negligence with regard to training requirements may result in payroll suspension.
Policy #2: Every individual shall be aware of work-related safety hazards (ergonomic, biological, chemical, electrical, physical, psychosocial, etc) and their individual responsibilities, including documenting and reporting incidents.
Policy #3: Access to Health & Safety-related information shall not be denied unless an individual's privacy is of concern and must be protected (e.g., mental issues, treatment history, recovery process, etc.), particularly when this information is related to the person and not to the workplace.
Policy #4: Implementation and enforcement of the IBBME Health & Safety Policies is the direct responsibility of the IBBME management and supervisors of individual IBBME workspaces. While it is the responsibility of each supervisor to ensure a safe work environment as well as individual compliance with safety requirements (i.e., training), each individual also assumes responsibility for maintaining a safe workspace and up-to-date training.
Policy #5: The Health & Safety Policies shall be reviewed annually by the Health & Safety Committee. The recommendations resulting from the annual review shall be submitted to the IBBME administration for consideration and implementation.
4.Individual Responsibilities

Specific University of Toronto Supervisory responsibilities can be found at: http://www.ehs.utoronto.ca/resources/FAQ.htm#Question_GS_4.
IBBME Safety Committee Responsibilities
The IBBME Safety Committee is an internal resource that addresses safety policies and issues specific to the varied needs of the IBBME community. The Committee created this Manual in order to help clarify individual responsibilities related to safety training requirements and safe activity in the workplace. The committee also oversees annual workplace inspections in an effort to ensure safe work environments for all of our workers. The IBBME Safety Committee has a responsibility to:
- forward updated safety information and policies to IBBME labs accordingly;
- oversee annual internal laboratory/office space safety inspections;
- be available to all staff/workers at the IBBME for advice on safety-related issues;
- conduct an annual review of this manual to assure compliance with University of Toronto and IBBME safety regulations.
Office of Environmental Health and Safety Responsibilities
The Office of Environmental Health and Safety (http://www.ehs.utoronto.ca/site4.aspx) has the responsibility of providing:
- technical advice and recommendations to the University community on matters related to health and safety in the office/laboratory;
- collection and disposal services for hazardous waste;
- Health & Safety training to all employees of the University of Toronto.
5. Safety Training Requirements
Every member of the IBBME is required to participate in comprehensive safety training BEFORE they begin working at the Institute. The specific requirements vary, depending upon an individual's status within the Institute (i.e., undergraduate student, volunteer, graduate student, postgraduate researcher, academic staff, administrative staff, technical or support staff, faculty/supervisor) as well as the type of work that is conducted within a defined work area. Many U of T EH&S courses are now available online however you must have a valid UTORid and can only access from campus computers. Please refer to Table 1 to determine the required training sessions for your type of work.
TRAINING IS REQUIRED OF ALL MEMBERS OF IBBME: In order to work compliantly in any IBBME workspace, Institute members must complete Health and Safety Online Orientation, WHMIS, and Fire Safety training. These courses are offered online by U of T EH&S. Information on how to register for these courses can be found at http://www.ehs.utoronto.ca/Training/Learning.htm and http://www.ehs.utoronto.ca/Training/training.htm#WHMIS. Fire Safety videos are also accessible online at http://www.ehs.utoronto.ca/resources/videos/videod.htm . **Note: The university U of T does not accept WHMIS training from other institutions and therefore everyone must complete this U of T online session to be compliant.**
Hazardous Waste Disposal education is required for all individuals working within a research laboratory (students, staff, supervisors) although all individuals at the Institute are highly encouraged to familiarize themselves on this safety issue (http://www.ehs.utoronto.ca/resources/wmindex.htm).

(Access links in image above via the PDF version of the Manual, posted above)
Constructing a New Laboratory or Renovation of Existing Space
The construction of new laboratories or renovation of old ones must be done in accordance with Capital Projects (Design and Engineering) laboratory design standards. Please refer to the IBBME administration (email@example.com) directly.
Decommissioning a Laboratory
When a laboratory is being vacated, it must be properly decommissioned. Before a laboratory is vacated, the Institute should contact (as early as possible) the Office of Environmental Health and Safety to assist in planning the decommissioning of the laboratory and ensuring the proper disposal of hazardous biological, chemical and radiological agents in accordance with the University of Toronto Laboratory Decommissioning Procedures (http://www.ehs.utoronto.ca/resources/wmindex/wm6.htm).
7. Workspace/Laboratory Safety Equipment
As appropriate, laboratories must be equipped with or have ready access to safety equipment including fire extinguishers, fume hoods, eyewash units, deluge showers, and flammable storage cabinets:
Fire Extinguishers
Portable fire extinguishers are designed to extinguish or control a small fire. They are not intended to fight a large or spreading fire. Laboratories that use flammable liquids are equipped with multipurpose fire extinguishers, typically marked on the wall adjacent to each doorway. Fire extinguishers are required to be unobstructed, are to be visually checked and their tags initialed by laboratory supervisor/administrators on a monthly basis. Please visit the University of Toronto Fire Prevention website for more details at: http://www.fs.utoronto.ca/utfp.htm.
Fume Hoods
In most laboratories, the fume hood is the primary device for the control of exposures to hazardous substances as it provides containment of operations which may release harmful gases, vapours or aerosols. The University of Toronto Laboratory Fume Hood Standard http://www.ehs.utoronto.ca/Assets/ehs+Digital+Assets/ehs3/documents/Lab+Fume+Hood+April+2007.pdfrequires that these devices be appropriately selected, installed, used and maintained such that the health of laboratory workers is safeguarded.
Eyewash Units
Eyewash units are required by law in all laboratories where a person is exposed to the potential hazard of injury to the eye due to contact with a biological or chemical substance. These units should be located close to the hazard site and must always be fully accessible to laboratory workers, be maintained properly and tested regularly. For further details, consult the University of Toronto Emergency Eyewash and Shower Standard:
Deluge showers
Deluge showers are required by law where a person is exposed to a potential hazard of injury to the skin due to contact with a biological or chemical substance. These units may be located outside the laboratory but must always be accessible to laboratory workers and must be maintained properly and tested regularly. For further details, consult the University of Toronto Emergency Eyewash and Shower Standard:
Flammable Storage Cabinets
Flammable storage cabinets are required by law in all laboratories for the storage of flammable liquids that are not required for immediate use. Consult The University of Toronto Flammable Liquids Storage: Standard for Storage Cabinets for information regarding labeling, maximum permissible quantities and good storage practices: http://www.ehs.utoronto.ca/Assets/ehs+Digital+Assets/ehs3/Chemical+Safety/Flammable+liquid+storage+standard.pdf.
Use of domestic refrigerators for storage of highly volatile flammable liquids presents a significant hazard to the laboratory work area. If flammable liquids are to be stored, specially designed "explosion-proof" or "explosion-safe" refrigerators must be used. For further details, consult the University of Toronto Flammable Liquids Storage: Standard for Refrigerators (http://www.ehs.utoronto.ca/resources/manindex/standards/flamfrgstd.htm).
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Wearing proper PPE in the laboratory is mandatory when it is stipulated by policy, procedure or the Material Safety Data Sheet.
Protective Clothing (Laboratory Coats)
Appropriate protective clothing must be worn where the potential for splashes or spills of hazardous substances exists. This clothing must be removed when leaving the laboratory area. The University of Toronto Protective Clothing Standard
(http://www.ehs.utoronto.ca/Resources/manindex/standards/clothstd.htm) provides further details regarding the selection and use of appropriate protective clothing. Labcoats should NOT be worn outside of the laboratory workspace (i.e., NEVER wear gloves in Institute corridors).
Hand Protection
Gloves must be worn whenever handling hazardous substances that can cause harm to the skin or be absorbed through the skin. Gloves must be selected on the basis of the material being handled, the particular hazard involved, and their suitability for the operation being conducted. For further details, consult the University of Toronto Protective Glove Standard (http://www.ehs.utoronto.ca/resources/manindex/standards/glovestd.htm). Gloves should NOT be worn outside of the laboratory workspace (i.e., NEVER wear gloves in Institute corridors).
Foot Protection
Appropriate shoes must be worn at all times in laboratories where there is a hazard of foot injury. Perforated shoes, sandals and the like must not be worn in the laboratories. For further details, consult the University of Toronto Foot Protection Standard (http://www.ehs.utoronto.ca/resources/manindex/standards/footstd.htm).
Eye and Face Protection
The University's Protective Eye and Facewear Standard (http://www.civ.utoronto.ca/dept/safety/Legislation_etc/uoft_eye_and_face_protection_policy.html) requires that appropriate protective eyewear be worn by faculty, staff, students and visitors in all situations where there is a potential hazard of injury to the eye/face.
Hearing Protection
The University's Hearing Protection Devices Standard(http://www.ehs.utoronto.ca/resources/manindex/standards/hearstd.htm)requires that appropriate hearing protection be worn by all those who work in noise hazard areas or who have the potential to develop noise-induced hearing loss as a result of their occupation, and where it is not practical or feasible to reduce or eliminate excessive noise exposure in the laboratory by means of engineering controls or work practices.
Respiratory Protection
Respirators provide personal protection either by removing contaminants from the air before they are breathed in (air-purifying respirators), or by supplying breathable air (atmosphere-supplying respirators). The U of T Respiratory Protection Program (http://www.ehs.utoronto.ca/Assets/ehs+Digital+Assets/ehs3/Chemical+Safety/Respiratory+Protection+Program.pdf) requires the use of respiratory protection for work which involves exposure to potentially hazardous environments. The use of respirators may be required when engineering control measures are inadequate, during shut down for maintenance or repair, or during emergencies.
8. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs)
Maintaining up-to-date Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) is a legislated requirement (Regulation 860 R.R.O.1990, Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System). All documents contained within a MSDS database must be less than three years old. It is preferable to maintain both online AND paper copies of the MSDSs for chemicals used in your workspace. These documents can be obtained directly from chemical suppliers however U of T EH&S recommends several websites to access relevant information (http://www.ehs.utoronto.ca/resources/info.htm). For more information, contact EH&S at firstname.lastname@example.com.
9. Waste Management and Diversion
The University of Toronto manages the disposal of hazardous wastes through Environmental Protection Services (EPS) (http://www.ehs.utoronto.ca/services/environmental.htm) (Office of Environmental Health and Safety) and through Facilities and Services. The hazardous waste disposal procedures, as outlined in the University's Laboratory Hazardous Waste Management Manual (http://www.ehs.utoronto.ca/resources/wmindex.htm), are mandatory. It is a serious offence to pour hazardous substances into the drainage system. Laboratory workers must follow procedures related to the proper disposal of hazardous wastes (http://www.ehs.utoronto.ca/resources/wmindex.htm).
Laboratory Supervisors/Principal Investigators must provide for and enforce the proper disposal of hazardous wastes.
1. BIOLOGICALwaste generators are responsible for:
- collection of biological waste (sharps, liquids, solids) in appropriate containers; (http://www.ehs.utoronto.ca/resources/wmindex/wm5_1.htm);
- proper labeling (CL 2 & 3) and storage until collected by EPS;
- For CL 1 waste, use Not Marked autoclave bags, if applicable.
Biological waste can be directly placed into yellow buckets with Biohazard labelling. Dry biological waste (i.e., empty cell culture plates, tubs, etc.) that cannot puncture plastic bags can also be placed directly into Biohazard plastic bags, and further disposed into large (100-200 L) Biohazard bins called "totes". If you are going to dispose biological waste from a Level 2 biohazard laboratory, please double the bags.
Any biological waste that can puncture the plastic bag must be discarded directly into a yellow Biohazard bin. Any biological waste that might contain residue liquid and potentially leak through the bag to contaminate surrounding materials must be disposed directly into a yellow Biohazard bin (i.e., serological pipettes, tips, or Pasteur pipettes used to transfer cell culture medium, etc.).
1. CHEMICAL waste generators are responsible for:
- segregating incompatible combinations of chemical wastes;
- proper packaging and labeling of chemical waste;
- proper storage of chemical waste prior to collection;
- proper disposal of hazardous chemical waste – DO NOT flush this waste down drains or mix with the general garbage;
- Please see http://www.ehs.utoronto.ca/resources/wmindex/wm5_2.htmfor details.
- collection of radioactive waste (sharps, liquids, solids) in appropriate containers (see http://www.ehs.utoronto.ca/resources/wmindex/wm5_3.htm);
- proper labeling of containers, including permit number;
- storage and shielding prior to collection/removal by EPS.
2. RADIATION (ISOTOPE) waste generators are responsible for:
3. SHARPS waste generators are responsible for:
- separation, packaging and treatment of their laboratory waste prior to its removal and disposal (http://www.ehs.utoronto.ca/resources/wmindex/wm5_5.htm).
10. Lab/Office Security
No matter your workspace, be aware of and post emergency numbers in visible areas. Know where the nearest exit and fire alarm are located. If you are working alone (particularly after hours) ensure that exterior doors and/or main doors are locked. It is also important to ensure that doors are secured/locked when you leave your workspace. Refrain from propping doors open (especially laboratory doors). Lock up laptops or desktops, or secure with locking cables. Always log off your machine when you discontinue working, even if only for a brief period of time. Report any suspicious/unknown individuals to the U of T Campus Community Police (416.978.2222).
For further information regarding Laptop protection and/or Office Safety, refer to www.campuspolice.utoronto.ca/safety/crime-prevention.htm.
11. Emergency Contact and Response
The following list provides examples and/or templates to aid in the implementation of these policies within your own laboratory and/or office workspace. Templates are also available for download from the IBBME website.
- Contact numbers for all personnel posted within the workspace;
- Emergency protocols implemented (emergency #s on phone; Building and Room # on all phones);
- First Aid requirements (2 people/floor should be trained in First Aid; First Aid Kit);
- Evacuation protocols;
- Record keeping for yearly workspace inspections;
- Safety checklists and internal inspection forms for your types of workspace;
- Standard Operating Procedures for methods used routinely within your lab;
- SOPs for Spill procedures (biological, chemical, radioactive etc.);

For any emergency, call campus police at: 416.978.2222
Back to top.
12. Unattended Operations
It is highly recommended to work using the "Buddy System" (never work alone; always ensure a colleague is working at the same time in the same workspace or nearby). Students should always work with supervision unless the supervisor has approved independent tasks. For any new task occurring within an unsupervised workspace, written permission must be requested AND received from the supervisor in advance (i.e., working unsupervised during the weekend).
13. The IBBME Safety Committee
The IBBME Safety Committee is a direct resource for any member of the IBBME with regards to health and safety in the workplace. The purpose of the Safety Committee is to address safety concerns and policies specific to the needs of the IBBME. The committee also oversees annual workplace inspections, as well as maintenance of safe work environments, and forwards suggestions to the administration.
This committee is overseen by two chairpersons (one also being the IBBME representative to the FASE Joint Health & Safety Committee), and encompasses members of the IBBME technical staff, BESA and faculty. Each IBBME-affiliated laboratory also has a safety representative for communication purposes and distribution of information. The committee meets quarterly (4X per year). Minutes of each meeting are available on the IBBME website and the Safety Bulletin Board (outside of the IBBME Graduate Office; MB332), and are archived with the Faculty of Engineering.

New research shows a number of women say they use the withdrawal method as a backup method or in combination with other contraception methods to prevent pregnancy.
The struggle for LGBT rights and the struggle for reproductive rights are inseparable—and we have to change the role religion is playing.
The contraceptive wars started with the notorious campaign in the late 19th century of the Postmaster General Anthony Comstock, who successfully banned the spread of information about contraception under an obscenity statute.
This week, new research suggests that orgasms promote positive pillow talk and improve intimacy but alcohol has the opposite effect; a study finds that the new HIV-prevention drug Truvada may also reduce the risk of genital herpes; and a vibrator company introduced a Fitbit for your vagina.
According to Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper, around 70 percent of pregnancies in the state are unintended.
Tyler Brandt being forced to wear a nametag with a homophobic, ableist slur is but one example of the problems that face LGBT people every day in the workforce, despite President Obama's attempts to address workplace discrimination of LGBT people on a federal level.
The Hobby Lobby case is not some odd outlier regarding "religious freedom." It's just one of the many ways the anti-choice movement is trying to chip away at women's access to contraception and instill the idea in the public's mind that contraception is controversial.
A bill that requires adult film stars to wear condoms on set is one step closer to becoming law in California, despite pleas from porn performers.
This Week in Sex: Bisexual Men Have Unique Needs, Casual Sex Is Good for Some, Later Childbirth Linked to Longer Life
This week, new studies accuse the public health community of ignoring the unique needs of bisexual men, find that casual sex is good for some people's self-esteem, and show that women who get pregnant naturally at older ages may live longer.
A parent's freakout over the possibility that her teenage daughter might talk to a doctor without a parent present is an important reminder that adolescent rights to medical privacy are ill-defined and need to be clarified, to protect teenage health.

Congratulations David Brandon,
Our Apple Recipe Contest Winner
What an exciting contest. We received all kinds of apple recipes and it was fascinating. Our winner, a Fresh Apple Coffee Cake with Honey Bee Glaze was entered by David A. Brandon of Claudville, VA. Originally from King, David and his wife, Faye, lived near Boonville for 25 years prior to moving to Claudeville in 2004. The Brandons have four grown children, two grandchildren and two great grandchildren, all living in or around the Yadkin Valley.
A retired machinist/toolmaker, David works part time in Winston-Salem. Both he and Faye grew up with mothers and grandmothers that were good, country cooks.
The couple regularly cooked together, "The best way to learn to cook was by fixing all those meals when the kids were growing up." He admitted he and Faye have an old time favorite, well used red covered cookbook called Friends of the East Bend Public Library, For All Seasons, not only for its recipes but because they knew so many people who gave recipes for the book.
David is the one who grew up with "a sweet tooth" and that helped him lean to the dessert side of the cooking. "I have always made coffee cakes and when I learned about the Yadkin Valley Living Magazine apple recipe contest, I created this recipe by joining a few coffee cakes, apples and glazes. Putting this glaze on before the cake is baked helps flavor the whole cake. I actually made it several times before submitting the recipe serving it to my kids and church members. They all liked it a lot!"
David and Faye still cook together but in his spare time David is restoring a '69 SS white Chevelle and still tinkers with his tinsmithing.
It was a pleasure meeting David and once you try his coffee cake—perfect to serve with a traditional holiday egg/sausage casserole, you, too will want him to continue creating sweet recipes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
using a 13″ x 9″ pan
Peel, core and finely chop 3 medium Granny Smith apples, (1/4" to 3/8" chop). Enough to make 3 cups of chopped apples. Place in a medium bowl; add 1/4 cup sugar, 2 T lemon juice, 1/2 t cinnamon, stir; set aside to juice about 20 minutes.
In a mixing bowl, sift together 2 cups all purpose flour, 3/4 cup sugar, 2 t baking powder, 1/2 t salt.
Cut in 1/2 cup cold butter to size of small peas.
Break into a measuring cup: one egg.
Fill with buttermilk—enough to make 1 cup—beat and stir into the dry ingredients with 1 t vanilla and 2 cups of chopped apples (Dip out apples with a slotted spoon).
Pour batter into a greased 13×9-inch pan and cover with Honey Bee Glaze.

This is a column about the Boston mayoral race, but bear with me for a minute because I'm starting in 1860, with Abraham Lincoln. In the early days of his presidential bid, in a quest for delegates at the Illinois nominating convention, Lincoln's political advisers produced a set of wooden fence rails. Purportedly, Lincoln had split them with an ax as a boy.
This was the moment when the central narrative of Lincoln's past — log cabin-born, tough, and strong — began to take hold, according to Michael Vorenberg, a historian at Brown University. This was the tale that set Lincoln apart from the elite urban lawyers who were his chief competition.
None of it was true, Vorenberg points out. At the time he was running for president, Lincoln was hardly a hardscrabble guy. He was a successful, clean-shaven, suit-wearing urban lawyer, quite skilled at the insider game of politics. And he was savvy enough to recognize the power of his life story.
"He probably played it better than anyone had played it up to that point, successfully," Vorenberg told me. When policy differences are scant, "the narrative is what makes a difference."
Which brings us to Boston, 2013. This race between Marty Walsh and John Connolly hasn't been a policy battle so much as a personality fight. In many cases, the candidates' support has hinged on past alliances, personal loyalties, temperament issues, and longstanding relationships. But on another, basic level — especially for the progressive voters, removed from the ward-by-ward street battles, who might end up swinging this race — the battleground has been the personal narrative.

Recent Fort Myers Beach reviews
"Just returned from our stay on Ft. Myers Beach. So glad we choose this condo to stay in. It had everything we needed to make our stay very relaxing and fun. Love the fact that the entire condo is tiled, no carpet anywhere! Everything was clean upon arrival. Kitchen very well equipped. Even had foil and plastic wrap! Unit had washer and dryer (stocked with detergent and dryer sheets) which is nice to have while on the beach. Beach towels were supplied as well. Both baths had a full size bar of soap. There were chairs for the beach, an umbrella and cooler, which really came in handy. Location was perfect! Within walking distance to Times Square for shopping, bars and restaurants; and Bowditch Park for shelling and watching beautiful sunsets. This end of the beach was peaceful and quiet. The perfect place for a relaxing vacation. We are already making plans to return!"Guest: Ms. Wiggy Date of Stay: August 2014 Review Submitted: August 15, 2014View listing
"You really can not go wrong renting this condo. The kitchen and floors have recently been updated, it is very clean and spacious, the kitchen is well stocked and the views are beautiful. The elevator is a bonus if you have a lot of luggage. We were 5 young 55+ females staying for a week and we thoroughly enjoyed the location, the beach and especially the lanai. We used the lanai every morning for breakfast and almost every evening for dinner or just sitting around playing cards, a game or just talking. It is one of the best features of the condo. The on sight agent was great, she met us there the first day and made sure we had everything we needed and encouraged us to call if we needed anything. Later in the day we found that we did not have beach chairs, we called Ann and she made sure we had chairs the next day. Very sweet lady. You can also tell that the homeowner's take a lot of pride in their property. The furnishing's are very nice and everything is well maintained. We will recommend Elevator to Paradise to family and friends."Guest: The Maryland Ladies Date of Stay: September 2014 Review Submitted: October 6, 2014View listing
"The house had comfortable furniture and plenty of seating for our family of 4. Bathroom soap, a few dishwasher soap tablets, trash bags, towels, plenty of pots/pans/utensils/glass and plasticware/flatwere were provided, but no dish soap or laundry detergent. We did not try to use the grill, but the microwave and stove top worked well. We mostly eat salads so the ample space in the refrigerator was appreciated. The ice maker worked well, so there was no need for the bag of ice we picked up on our way in from the airport. The stairs in front and back might prove troublesome for tiny children, older adults, or anyone who has trouble navigating stairs. The neighborhood was great for walking and neighbors were friendly and helpful. The wi-fi went out frequently, but we only had to turn it on and off to get it working again. I would stay at the house again and have recommended it to other family members and friends. We loved how far down from "Times Square" it was. The proximity to the refuge and Lovers Key State Park was convenient, as was delivery from Sand Bar. The location is quiet and sedate, which fit our family perfectly. We love to read, walk, ride bikes, and draw, as well as watch movies and documentaries on the Internet. The house was perfect for our week in Fort Myers Beach."Guest: Momotaro W. Date of Stay: July 2014 Review Submitted: August 18, 2014View listing
"Love it! Love it! Love it! This was my first time traveling to Ft. Myers Beach and I was not disappointed! Riptide condo, unit 12 specifically, is truly "Paradise Found." We had a view of the Gulf was which was literally, steps away. The accommodations were immaculate, especially the newly remodeled bathroom, and absolutely adorable. The tropical decor was very inviting, lending to our purpose for vacationing there: to celebrate my best friend's 50th birthday, spending four days on the beach, drinking Coronas. The condo provided everything we needed; we didn't rent a car and found it extremely accessible to all local amenities. The manager was super helpful in suggesting places to eat and kept the property beautiful. All in all, this vacation left nothing to be desired: great friend and great location. I would recommend this condo, without hesitation, and can't wait to vacation there again and again!"Guest: Heidi Date of Stay: July 2014 Review Submitted: August 20, 2014View listing

More than 6,200 people call Fort Myers Beach home. This town located on Estero Island wasn't officially incorporated until December 1995, making it a newer Floridian hotspot. Although Fort Myers Beach may be small, more than 1.8 million visitors flock there every year to enjoy the beaches, fishing, shopping, dining, golf and entertainment along the Gulf.
There's no undertow in Fort Myers Beach, making it the "World's Safest Beach" and perfect for families who want to get their toes wet. The entire island is 7 miles long, a nice walk or jog for those who want to work in a little exercise on their trip.
The area that was once home to Native Americans and Spaniards is a favorite among tourists who dine on "pink gold" shrimp and celebrate the fishing industry with the week-long Shrimp Festival held in March.

Reginald Jones breaks down the game of football step-by-step and one yard at a time teach women about America's best sport by referencing it to real life relationships.
"American football is a gender-neutral sport. This book is about looking at American football from the portrayal of a former professional football player and about how the game can be simplified when you parallel it to everyday relationships," states author, Reginald Jones. "I will answer many of the questions you have about American football; I will show you how to interpret the various nuances and different facets of the game."
"Stilettos on Gridiron" was released on January 27, 2013 in cities across the country. Reginald "Reggie" Jones will be attending numerous book signings in New Orleans, La from January 28 - February 5th. For more information about where to purchase a copy of the book please contact a Barnes & Noble or Hudson Book Sellers near you.
Reginald "Reggie" Jones is a former professional football player in the National Football League; he played for the New Orleans Saints and Cleveland Browns. He is a national keynote/motivational speaker and is emerging as an international talent.
Reginald has been speaking for over 12 years and is both motivating and inspiring. Reginald Jones encourages individuals and groups with his signature motto: DREAM.REACH.REALIZE.
