Jonah Raydio #16: Green Episode
By Katie Levine on February 7, 2013
Ahoy! this week Jonah Raydio is joined by Joe Sib (Wax, 22 Jacks, Sideone Dummy, and comedy). He tells us a very sad story that involves Weezer and women's panties. We are also joined by Tony Thaxton from Motion City Soundtrack and Ryan McManimen from AST Records and the PYHT podcast. We also get into what became the grossest attempt at a Twitter game yet.
This episode is sponsored by Blue Collar Distro.
Follow everybody involved: @JOESIB22, @JonahRaydio, @JonahRay, @CashHartz, @NeilMahoney, @Subpop2000

Static In Verona – Everything You Knew (Before You Knew Everything)
Thanks for playing the song from Static in Verona! The whole EP can be downloaded FREE at staticinverona.com.
And because of your comments on the show, I also started a bandcamp page, http://staticinverona.bandcamp.com/ .
Thanks again!
You guys should get Bob Odenkirk on the show. He's so funny, and he has great taste in music. I love the show. You guys are great.
I'm not going to say that I deserved to have my entries in the twitter game read on the podcast, although they were very good and I spent an hour and a half coming up with all of them, but it bugged me that you only read like three entries from the listeners, and spent the rest of the time reading your own. If you just come up with your own, then read them on the podcast, that's fine. But when you present the twitter game as a chance for the listeners to participate, then don't even read their tweets, you're just wasting the listener's time.
That Static In Verona song was wonderful! And Skinny Lister was just awesome!
What, um, what was the deal with you and Neal at the end? Sounded serious. Hope ya'll are ok, love the show and Neal's drops, intended or not.

- Open your first photo folder
- Sroll down to the 10th photo
- Post that photo and story on your blog.
- Tag five others (or more) friends to do the same.
I have a folder with lots of tattoo inspiration pics and I've decided that I want 2 butterflies in this colourway on my inner wrist (not as big though). I think the detail is gorgeous. I actually know somebody who has the same tattoo design that I want to get and it was helpful seeing how the design looked on her as a preview but luckily we don't roll in the same social circles and it was merely a coincidence that she got the same design I want to get first so I don't mind.
Mine will still look totally different when it's finished and be a different colour so it'll still be unique to me.
It'll probably really hurt when I get it done but what the hell, it can't hurt any worse than my first tattoo did. Hopefully I'll get it done in October as to spend more time in NY if possible. My parents still haven't seen my first tat either. My Dad won't really mind but my Mum will freak the hell out! LOL
I tag all my readers to complete this post :-)

On June 14th, 1777 , the Marine Committee of the Second Continental Congress passed a resolution declaring "that the flag of the United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new Constellation." The flag design was based on the "Grand Union" flag, a banner carried by the Continental Army in 1776.
In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation that officially established June 14 as Flag Day. Today we still celebrate this historical declaration mid-June each year through both National Flag Week and National Flag Day.

Most people are confused about Reiki, so here are some great Reiki facts:
Chi, ki, qi, prana—life force energy in every living thing
~Original qi (pre-natal qi)
~Grain qi (from digested food)
~Natural air qi (from the air we breathe)
Ki is responsive to thoughts and emotions
Can disrupt flow of ki
Health—the free and balanced flow of ki
Illness—when the flow of ki is disrupted
Reiki goes to the block or disruption in ki
~Charges the affected parts with positive energy
~Raises the vibratory level in and around the physical body
and releases the negative energy
~clears, straightens, and heals the energy pathways, allowing ki to flow

They are saying elbow discomfort.
Bernie M. says the news isn't good...and we'll know more on Saturday.
Might be gone for the season? That would suck.
Moderator: LGB Mods
Carpenter's return hits a setback
By Joe Strauss
Former Cy Young Award winner Chris Carpenter was examined in St. Louis on Friday after experiencing renewed discomfort in his surgically repaired right elbow and is likely to seek a second opinion regarding his condition soon.
Carpenter returned to St. Louis to be seen by team medical supervisor Dr. George Paletta after becoming increasingly concerned about what he was feeling following a Wednesday side session at the club's minor-league complex in Jupiter, Fla.
"I'm concerned," general manager John Mozeliak said during Friday's series opener against the Philadelphia Phillies. "If we weren't concerned he would have been in Florida and would have thrown today. He called and told me he was concerned."
The club did not release results of Friday's exam, which included an MRI, but the setback apparently is not believed to involve damage to the ligament transplanted near Carpenter's right elbow last July 24.
Mozeliak underscored that the club believes the issue is not "structural" but did not offer further details, pending the second opinion. He declined to comment on whether Carpenter's condition is believed to be nerve-related.
Carpenter did not come to Busch Stadium on Friday but spoke to Mozeliak by phone. Mozeliak summed up Carpenter's attitude as "frustrated."
Though the club refused to wave off the possibility of Carpenter becoming available this season, the setback clearly alters a timetable for his return.
The Cardinals predicated based much of their hope for a second-half push on Carpenter returning to the rotation by early August.
Sidelined last season after an opening day start, Carpenter twice unsuccessfully tried to rehabilitate with rest before fraying of the ligament was found after two rehab outings at Class A Palm Beach. Surgery was then prescribed.
Carpenter appeared on a fast track this spring when he threw impressively from a mound less than eight months after surgery. Though starting pitchers typically take 2-3 months longer to recover than relievers, the Cardinals and Carpenter believed he could make it back near the anniversary of his surgery.
"Could 'Carp' still pitch for us sometime this year? We think so," Mozeliak said. "But will he pitch sometime around the All-Star break like we were hoping? That's not likely."
The club backed Carpenter off his throwing program within the last two weeks because of discomfort. Carpenter resumed throwing when the discomfort eased.
Carpenter's setback occurs as fellow starters Matt Clement and Mark Mulder continue their rehabilitations. Both are scheduled to pitch today in a doubleheader for Class AA Springfield. Clement, signed to an incentive-laden contract in January, has not pitched in a major-league game since June 14, 2006. He later underwent major shoulder surgery. Mulder has undergone two shoulder operations and signed a two-year, $13 million contract with the club since gaining his last victory on June 15, 2006.

To be honest, I think the most common cause of dizziness while lying down is alcohol. That's the only time I've experienced it, anyway.
It happens if I've had a couple too many and I usually only notice it when I'm trying to sleep. It feels like the room is spinning. But the only cure is to either ignore it and go to sleep, or to wait until the alcohol passes through your system (or to not drink that much in the first place, I suppose!).

{Editor's Note} In the following pages, Sierra explores what our nation can do to meet the challenge of global warming. "Everything hinges on our ability to somehow gracefully make the jump from fossil fuel to ... something else," says author Bill McKibben in our opening story. But to what? Shorter articles sift through the current controversies. What about "clean coal"? How much can we rely on energy efficiency? Is it time to reconsider nuclear power? How do we address wind power's problems? Then we preview the Sierra Club's "energy road map," a 50-year framework for a brighter--and cleaner--energy future. Here's the big news: Using American ingenuity and determination, we can ensure our grandchildren clean air and water, rich wildlife and wildlands, healthy communities, and a stable climate. Turn the pages, follow up on the Web, and find out how. --Joan Hamilton
EXPLORERS USED TO AMUSE their European audiences by telling of heathen tribesmen who would panic when an eclipse rubbed out the noonday sun. The natives would scream or pray or make ritual sacrifices to appease the god on whom they had always depended, a god now acting so irrationally. Our chief deity--the cheap energy that has made our lives rich and easy--is about to be eclipsed as well, and the sounds you hear (motorists moaning about the price of gas, politicians loudly insisting that sacrificing wilderness in the Far North will save the day) are no different. Except that solar eclipses pass quickly. This change is forever; fossil fuel was a onetime gift--and the sooner we understand that, the sooner we can go about the realistic task of doing without it.
Much of what passes for discussion about our energy woes is spent imagining some magic fuel that will save us. Solar power! Fusion power! Hydrogen power! But such wishful thinking hides the basic fact of our moment in time: We've already had our magic source of energy. Fossil fuel was as good as it gets: compact, abundant, and easy to handle and transport. All you had to do was stick a drill bit in the ground or scrape off a few feet of soil above a vein of black rock and you were set. Learning to use coal, gas, and oil kicked off the Industrial Revolution and, in subsequent centuries, underwrote the chemical revolution, transportation revolution, agricultural revolution, and electronics revolution. (Right now, even as you read this, fossil fuel is producing hundreds of billions of revolutions per minute.) Pretty much every action of modern life involves burning hydrocarbons, and it's modern life that we've come to like.
So it's no wonder that we start to get a little jittery when we contemplate the coming end of the fossil-fuel age. The growing recognition that we're approaching a peak in oil production is the most obvious sign, of course--our supply of petroleum is now measured in decades, and as each decade passes, that supply will become harder to find and more expensive to pump. The world's four biggest oil fields are in decline. We're using oil five times as fast as we're discovering new reserves. And just as those of us already in on modernity would like to start hoarding the remaining supply, the Chinese and Indians and lots of others are discovering that they'd enjoy taking their cars out for a spin as well.
If all we were faced with was peak oil, we might be able to keep the circus going. We could figure out ways to replace many uses of gasoline with coal, which is abundant as long as we don't mind removing all the remaining mountaintops in the southern Appalachians (a sacrifice, I predict, we would bring ourselves to make--or rather, we would bring ourselves to call upon Kentuckians and West Virginians to make). But we've got a far deeper problem than that, one coal can only make worse. Global warming, as we've come to understand in the past few years, is not a speculative, distant, or easily managed threat. It's not one more item on the list of problems, somewhere between global terrorism and failing inner-city schools. It's the first civilization-scale challenge humans have managed to create (the second, if you count nuclear weapons, but so far we've managed to keep that one under some kind of tenuous control). And global warming has pushed us into a corner: Everything frozen on Earth is melting, huge storms are growing steadily huger, seasons are shifting, forests are dying. Since the 1950s, we've more than tripled emissions of the gas most responsible for global warming: carbon dioxide. The latest estimates conclude that the catastrophic tipping point that might commit us to huge sea-level increases may be reached at atmospheric concentrations of CO2 as low as 450 parts per million. And since we're already at 380 ppm, and increasing faster than 2 ppm annually--well, you can do the math. NASA's top climate scientist, James Hansen, said in 2006 that his modeling showed we had ten years to start putting less carbon dioxide into the atmosphere or we'd create "a very different planet." And he's an optimist. British scientist James Lovelock says that by his calculations, we have already waited too long and that billions will die as a result before the century is over. Lovelock has company among those peak-oil theorists who forecast a future of angry residents of crumbling suburbs searching for scarce gasoline and fighting over the bones of our past affluence.
Energy has become, in short order, the central environmental question, the central foreign policy question, and the central economic question. Everything hinges on our ability to somehow gracefully make the jump from fossil fuel to ... something else. But we're paralyzed. At the moment, energy companies are making money ($36 billion in 2005 for Exxon), their politician friends are winning votes, and most of us are living our daily lives on one side of this energy gap, so it's hard to steel ourselves for the leap. We'll see if the new Democratic Congress has more stomach for this kind of effort. The obscurantism about global warming is likely to disappear, but it's far from certain that the Democrats will muster the courage for more than token change.
The United States' current energy plan, assembled by Vice President Dick Cheney with the help of leading fossil-fuel executives, calls for postponing the future: more drilling, more refining, more combusting, more carbon. It's the policy equivalent of sticking your fingers in your ears and shouting, "I can't hear you!" over and over again. And so with every year that passes, the gap grows wider, the leap more daunting, the paralysis more profound. Last spring, when gas prices started to soar once more, the Republican Congress mulled it over and hit on a solution: mail every American $100. It's hard to imagine a much better symbol of our bankruptcy, in every sense of the word.
And so it's time to take a deep breath. We've got to make that leap from fossil fuels to whatever comes next--but it will be easier if we can narrow the gap first, so that it's more like a hop than a pole vault.

Visual Studio 2010 is set to be released in April. Microsoft has made significant investments to improve the "Testing", "Architecture", and "Developer" tools within Visual Studio to make it an even more powerful productivity solution.
VS 2010 Webinar Session Overviews:
Full Testing Experience: Professional QA with Visual Studio 2010 | Join us as we demonstrate the testing and quality assurance lifecycle using Visual Studio 2010 and Team Foundation Server. We'll dive into the testing tools and testing process you can use to dramatically improve the effectiveness of your QA and Test efforts. You'll see the Microsoft Test and Lab Manager (MTLM) in all its glory as we explore how to manage your test environment, organize test suites, test cases, requirements and bugs, and how to manage both automated and manual test runs. In addition, you'll see how to easily create an automated test from an existing manual test run. Finally, and most importantly, you'll discover how insanely easy it is to create bugs that can be simply and reliably reproduced by developers – VS 2010 is that powerful. |
Improving Development Practices with Visual Studio 2010 | This is an overview of the new development and database tools in Visual Studio 2010. New capabilities of historical debugging, code analysis, profiling and the new test impact analysis will be demonstrated. Working with Team Foundation Server (TFS) 2010, gated-check-in will be discussed as well as the tester/developer collaboration experience. The new architect tools will be demonstrated to facilitate a better understanding of how modeling is a part of the development experience. |
Lab Manager – The Ultimate "No More No Repro" Tool | Designing, building and testing code is a hard job. A job made even harder by the fact that most organizations don't have development and test environments that are clean, easily reset and similar to the production environment. Enter virtualization…and Lab Manager. Lab manager allows you to define, configure and create complete development or test environments as needed. It can coordinate both physical and virtual environments, and comes with an incredibly powerful suite of effective tools that make managing environments simple and cost effective. Attend this webcast event to see Lab Manager in action! |
Managing Requirements with Team Foundation Server 2010 | Requirements management is a struggle for many organizations. A distinction must be drawn between requirements elicitation, requirements documentation and requirements management. Team Foundation Server provides rich capabilities for managing requirements and can easily be integrated with your preferred tools for documenting requirements. Best practices of requirement elicitation, documentation, management and traceability will be discussed in the context of the requirement lifecycle and how TFS 2010 and third party tools can maximize your overall requirements management process. |
Overview of Visual Studio 2010 ALM Tools | This overview of Visual Studio 2010 highlights the difference between Team System 2008 and Visual Studio 2010. Emphasis will be put on what migration steps need to be taken to maximize new features including testing tools, version control, work item tracking and build enhancements. As a basis for demonstration, the development processes and practices used to create Notion Tools for Team System will be shown, including branching models, build and deployment automation, custom reporting and workflows. |
Streamlining Testing with Visual Studio 2010 ALM Tools | This Visual Studio 2010 overview features Visual Studio Test Elements 2010 testing tools including using the new Microsoft Test and Lab Manager to manage and automate your UI testing. The use of Test Lab will be discussed as a means of automating the creation of virtual environments for testing purposes. Deploying to VM environments during build will be demonstrated and facilitate a robust developer/tester lifecycle. For a taste of real-world use, the test plans and test process used to perform multi-platform testing of Notion Tools for Team System will be shown. |
Using Team Foundation Server 2010 for Non-Windows Development | This is an overview of best practices for utilizing Team Foundation Server (TFS) 2010 and the Teamprise Client Suite for development activities beyond Microsoft and the Windows platform. This webcast shows development teams using mixed and non-Microsoft platforms how to effectively leverage TFS 2010 to adopt work item tracking, version control, and automated build and test technologies. |
Visual Studio 2010 Quality Tools for Developers | This webcast event will demonstrate how developers use Visual Studio 2010 and Team Foundation Server to create high quality code, reliably reproduce and efficiently fix reported bugs, and truly work with the testing team. We'll demonstrate the use of several important tools, such as test impact analysis, IntelliTrace, and other tools that help you understand your code, pinpoint bugs and efficiently fix them. Let's face it – fixing bugs is both tedious and hard. VS 2010 provides the tools to both you and the tester to make finding, reproducing and fixing bugs dramatically simpler. |
What's New in Visual Studio 2010 | Why you should consider Visual Studio and Team Foundation Server 2010. We're going to discuss the specific business value of the Visual Studio ALM tools now and later.

All these systems use what is called multichannel audio, designed to enrich the listening experience by reproducing different parts of the overall sound on different speakers. This is how they work:
In all cases, the speakers were set up according to the nature of their channel configuration, but taking into account that they are PC speakers and designed to be used in conjunction with a computer system, typically a user sitting at a desk. Note that the constraints of desktop size means that these kinds of speakers will generally be closer to the user than is the case with lounge room speaker systems. At this relatively close proximity, even small speakers can deliver good sound if they are high quality units.
Ambience: The acoustic characteristics of a space with regard to reverberation. A room with a lot of reverb is said to be 'live'. One without much reverb is 'dead'. Bass: The lowest part of the audio range (20-140 Hz.) Body: Sound consistency or density, richness, substance. Definition: The quality of a sound that allows it to be distinguished from other sounds. Image: The localisation of individual sound sources in threedimensional space. Responsiveness: The quality or state of being responsive, the ability of a speaker system to adjust quickly to suddenly altered external conditions. Treble: The highest part, voice, instrument, or range (5000-20,000 Hz). Warmth: A listening term. The opposite of cool or cold. Generally considered the frequency range from approximately 150Hz-400Hz. A system with the 'proper' warmth will sound natural within this range.

The School of Earth Sciences at Ohio State Lima will celebrate the second annual National Fossil Day from 12:30-4:00 p.m., Wed., Oct. 12, 2011, in the Geology Museum (Science 110).
Dr. Mark Kleffner, professor of earth sciences, will host the event that focuses on fossils of Ohio. Participants will be able to try and match fossils found in Ohio with some facts about the organism they represent. People with the most correct matches will win uncommon fossils from Ohio. All participants will leave with an Ohio fossil of their own. Dr. Kleffner will also identify fossils that people bring with them.
National Fossil Day is a collaboration between the American Geological Institute and the National Park Service and is held during Earth Science Week (Oct. 9-15). It aims to promote public awareness and stewardship of fossils, as well as to foster a greater appreciation of their scientific and educational values.
Dr. Kleffner will also be on hand to discuss Ohio fossils when he's the featured speaker at one of the Heritage Trails Park District Fall Program Series on Tues., Oct. 18, 2011. He will share the story of the geological history of the sediments and rocks comprising the Auglaize County landscape including glaciers and the sea that once covered the area. His hands-on presentation includes samples to help bring to life the geological history. His presentation is from 7:00-8:30 p.m. at the Lockkeeper's House, 22 South Water Street, New Bremen.

I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour campaign by MotherTalk on behalf of "Lakeshore Christmas" and received a copy of the book to facilitate my candid review. In addition, Mom Central sent me a gift card to thank me for taking the time to participate.
I'm a busy gal. I don't have time for a lot of things anymore… shoot, I hardly have enough time to blog. One activity that has sadly fallen by the wayside is reading. Sure, I made time for each and every Harry Potter book when they were released and there was the two months or so last year when I fell victim to "Twilight Mania". But I used to read every day. Every night, before I went to sleep. And I haven't done that in a long time.
When I was contacted about joining this blog tour, I very nearly passed up on it. But then I saw that it was a Christmas novel.
I have a history with Christmas novels, particular those of the romantic variety. Every year at Christmas, I would find at least one Christmas-themed "anthology", of sorts. I would devour the stories because not only were they sappy towards love, but sappy towards the holiday. And I am an admitted Christmas Nutcase.
I'd heard great things about the author of this particular novel, Susan Wiggs, and maybe even read a book or two of hers back in the day. Adding to my intrigue, was learning that this particular book was part of a series, called the "Lakeshore Chronicles". I have a hard time resisting a series. There's something about a book that is part of a series. The side-characters are more interesting and intriguing, the atmosphere is almost homey, lived in. So here we were taking about a Christmas romance that is part of a series of books based around this one little town in upstate New York.
I was THERE.
And you know? I wasn't the least bit disappointed. I was excited to receive the book in the mail and each night before I went to sleep, I would read a chapter. Or two. Or three. You know how it is. I quickly found myself engrossed with the story, the setting, the characters, the whole shebang. And before long, I became aware that I was going to have to track down some of the other Lakeshore Chronicles books because I want to read about these other characters. Particularly one, who's sub-plot was left on a rather intriguing cliffhanger.
Still, despite being part of a series of books, I never once felt like I was picking a story up halfway through. The author did a splendid job of summarizing past stories and getting you comfortable and friendly with the town and it's inhabitants. Never once did I feel there was a joke I was missing out on, a common problem with reading a book mid-series.
This book was an easy, quick and fun read. I was rather disappointed when I was finished because that meant a) I would have to leave these lovely characters behind and b) I now no longer had anything to read before bed!
I would suggest, if you are a Christmas nutcase like myself, are a fan of romantic novels or just of reading in general, and want a cozy and entertaining story to read while snuggled up in front of the fire this season, you look no further than "Lakeshore Christmas" by Susan Wiggs. You won't be disappointed!

NBC is sticking with what they know for this falls pilot season. They are returning to the Law & Order creator – Dick Wolf – for a new series pilot called Chicago Fire. Set in Chicago the action-driven drama is about the complex and heroic men and women of the Chicago Fire Department. There has been relatively little buzz on the show and its cast aside from the news that Eamonn Walker will play the captain of the squad. Now fans have something else to gab about as NBC reveals its latest Chicago Fire casting news.
Deadline reports that Taylor Kinney has landed the lead role in the Chicago Fire pilot, as Kelly Severide. Severide is the leader of an elite group of firefighters who respond to the most dangerous fires or rescue operations. The character is being described as an adrenaline junkie and a man with the drive to jump into the most dangerous situations. The pilot was written by Michael Brandt and Derek Haas and will be directed by Jeffrey Nachmanoff. Executive producers of the series are Wolf, Brandt, Haas, Peter Jankowski and Danielle Gelber.
Kinney is returning to NBC after his brief nine episode interlude with The Vampire Diaries where he played Mason Lockwood, a naughty werewolf who was eventually killed off by Damon Salvatore (Ian Somerhalder). Kinney went on to guest star in two episodes of the Showtime series Shameless. Although Kinney may not have made too many waves with his current acting portfolio, he certainly has been in the spotlight for dating the infamous Lady Gaga.
Gaga and Kinney first met on the set of her music video for You and I back in September, in which Kinney played her love interest. From that point the two have been seen all over Hollywood together. The twenty-five year old pop superstar and the thirty year old actor have stirred up some controversy over their relationship. Kinney's ex-girlfriend Brittany Sackett states that she found out about Lord and Lady Gaga's romance while Sackett and Kinney were still together. Sackett also indicated that Kinney is only dating the songstress to improve his own fame and status in Hollywood, she describes him as "fame hungry."
Regardless of his reasons for dating Gaga, Kinney is now a rising star in Hollywood. Snagging a lead role in a Dick Wolf creation might guarantee you an acting gig for 10 years! Even if the show is not picked up by networks, Kinney is beginning to reach leading man status which will surely translate to more offers down the road.

text: Nigeria's Armed forces to launch HIV/AIDS campaign week ------------------------------------------------------- Datelinehealth-Africa News Service Published: March 19 2003 By Staff Reporter The Armed Forces of Nigeria will launch its Armed Forces HIV/AIDS Campaign Week from March 23 running through the 28th, 2003. Colonel Wale Egbewunmi made this known in a press release yesterday. Wale is the Coordinator of the Armed Forces Programme on AIDS Control (AFPAC). According to Egbewunmi, the week is set aside to raise HIV prevention awareness in all military locations in Nigeria. Activities earmarked for this year would direct and disseminate HIV prevention messages to different sectors of the military barracks community and sites that may not have been adequately reached in on- going behaviour-change interventions sponsored by USAID. (To learn more, click on: http://www.fhi.org/en/aids/impact/briefs/uniformedservice.html ). Fifty target groups and sites to be reached have already been identi- fied. These include "service personnel, women or wives of service personnel, in-school youths and out-of-school youths", says Egbe- wunmi. Others include mammy markets and permissive environment within the barracks. In Wale's words, "the efforts of individual unit's would be augmented to enhance their ability to actively participate in the activities of the week". The Armed Forces HIV/AIDS Campaign Week will be flagged off on Monday 24 March at a ceremony at the National War College Abuja, after Sun- day prayer in all military churches. On Tuesday 25 March activities would be targeted at Service/Command/Unit levels (Personnel day). Wednesday 26 March is Women's day, while Thursday 27 March is Youths day. Friday 28 March is Mammy markets sensitization Day and the week would be rounded off with prayers in all military mosques. With an HIV prevalence rate nearing 25%, Nigeria's armed forces is particularly hard hit and authorities are committed to containing the spread of the virus in all military formations in the country. In a unique and surprising move, President Obasanjo in August 2001 mandated the free distribution of condoms to all military personnel as part of a set of intervention programmes to contain the spread of the virus. (See: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Datelinehealth-Nigeria/message/130> Abstinence promoters and other critics however remain skeptical about the effectiveness and long term sustainability of this programme. Saying that condoms would encourage illicit sexual behaviour in bar- racks across the federation, Elizabeth Akhaine of the Project for Hu- man Development in Nigeria; added that "abstinence from sex before marriage and fidelity in marriage are the ONLY 100 per cent solution to genital spread of HIV/AIDS". (See: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Datelinehealth-Nigeria/message/144). For the armed forces, this is perhaps a tall order.

Dade Commissioners Call For An Assault Weapon Ban
Commissioners Pass Resolution Urging The Feds To Tighten Gun Control Laws
The Dade County Commission asked Congress to stiften gun control, reinstate an assault weapon ban against those weapons used in Liberty City in January which killed two boys.
Miami-Dade commissioners on Tuesday passed a resolution asking the federal government to reinstate a ban on assault weapons and tighten gun control laws.
They did this less than one month since Brandon Mills, 16, and Derrick Gloster, 18, were killed when someone fired an AK-47 into a crowd on a Liberty City corner on January 23rd.
Miami Police Chief John Timoney said after the fatal shooting that the percentage of homicides involving assault weapons jumped to 29 percent of all shooting fatalities in 2008. Timoney implored Congress to reinstate the ban.
Henry Demoya has his sights set on one of several assault rifles on the rack at Miami Police Supply. "Just to have it in case they do ban it," he told CBS4 Reporter Michael Williams. "I want to have one."
A majority of Miami-Dade Commissioners want that assault rifle ban. "Our law enforcement officers don't have the armory these young people on the street have," Commissioner Barbara Jordan said. "We have to get control and get these guns off the street."
Tuesday, she spearheaded the passage of the resolution banning assault rifles. The resolution urges congress to pass laws requiring all gun sales to be registered with police agencies within 14 days of purchase.
"I very much support the right to bear arms, but I can tell you our founding fathers did not have AK-47s in mind when they wrote the Constitution." Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Alvarez also supports the ban. "I responded to the shooting where four of our officers were shot, one killed, by a man with not one but two AKak-47s he went and bought with a fake id." He was referring to the death of Miami-Dade officer Jose Somohano, who died in a traffic stop in 2007, overwhelmed by firepower.
Five days after Mills and Gloster were murdered, Commissioners Dorrin Rollee and Audrey Edmonson went door to door and handed out prepaid postage cards to Liberty City residents so they could mail in tips about the shooting, or any other criminal activity, anonymously.
A reward of up to $50,000 is being offered to find a gunman or gunmen involved in the killings.
