Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Meet Malaysia's first female mixed martial artist
John Duerden | 20 May 2013 08:24 GMT | Sport, Cricket, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, India
India may not exactly be a giant at football but at least fans in the country are 'treated' to regular articles in the international media asking just why that is and when it will end. Pakistan don't even get that. When it comes to the beautiful game, this beautiful land may as well not exist for all the attention it gets.The limit of the national team's ambitions at the moment is the South Asian Football Federation Cup in September but few are confident that the Green Shirts will get their hands on the trophy in Nepal. Of the nine editions played so far, India have won six, Maldives, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka have all triumphed once but Pakistan have still to even reach the final.Preparations are not going well. So much so, that, at the time of writing, there are not really any preparations at all.
"We need a large number of international matches, which will give players need international experience and confidence," Pakistan's national team coach Zavisa Milosavljevic told Al Jazeera."We need to create unity and a sense of belonging."
The Serbian is beginning to realise that it is easier said than done. A planned mini-series in June at Fulham's Craven Cottage in London with India and Bangladesh has been cancelled. It's a familiar refrain. In 2011, a similar event scheduled to take place in three British cities also never happened. They could have been meaningful matches for UK-born Pakistani international Zesh Rehman. After all, the well-travelled defender played for Fulham in the Premier League. Now in Hong Kong with Kitchee, he doesn't expect to be back in England any time soon."I'm not surprised in the least that the games have been cancelled again in the UK," Rehman told Al Jazeera. "The federation seems to want to minimise spending money. They need to see the bigger picture and not just think about the short term. Unfortunately as a football nation we are lagging behind in South Asia which is not the most competitive level in Asia."
Lacking professionalismImproving the local league, with its poor facilities and standards, would help. Rumours of a football copy of cricket's Indian Premier League, teams full of stars and showmen, seem fanciful though fantasy is understandable when you look at the reality. The government runs the best teams such as champion Khan Research Laboratories. Such set-ups and names lack appeal for fans and private investors, two groups that are largely absent with many attendances struggling to run into three figures. Unsurprisingly, broadcasters are not that interested either. Security problems, especially in football-loving Balochistan, don't help. Having the league squeezed into four months means that players' fitness levels suffer and the few fans there are lose interest.
"The league should be professional," noted Milosavljevic.
"We should play two half-seasons and championship matches should be played for an audience and fans and play only on weekends."
The lack of foreign imports in the league is another problem according to Rehman. "The likes of India, Bangladesh, Nepal and the Maldives have foreign players in their local leagues and when Pakistan follows suit that will help. However the longer it is left the way it is the football will stand still and will gradually become less and less competitive even in South Asia."What Pakistan does have are players like Rehman, born overseas with European experience. Afghanistan has an increasing Diaspora that helped the team reached the final of the 2011 of the South Asian Cup. Yet in Pakistan the international stars are not always welcomed by the folks back home. Mohammad Essa, the best-home grown player of recent years has been consistent in his criticism of how the foreign stars arrive late for training camps and are not as committed as the home-grown heroes.
"It's normal in football to look for scapegoats to it's not a huge surprise the foreign-based players will get the blame so the local lads don't lose face. The reality is the local players are nowhere near good enough or tactically aware enough to improve the FIFA rankings significantly."
- Zesh Rehman
It rankles Rehman. "It's normal in football to look for scapegoats so it's not a huge surprise the foreign-based players will get the blame so the local lads don't lose face. The reality is the local players are nowhere near good enough or tactically aware enough to improve the FIFA rankings significantly." Milosavljevic believes the PFF should "fight" for these foreign-born players.The Serbian is under pressure after the Green Shirts failed to qualify for the AFC Challenge Cup, a competition reserved for developing football nations, losing to Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan in March.
He needs good results at the South Asian Cup or his contract may not be renewed when it ends in November. "I am an optimist by nature. In previous matches, Pakistan had competitive and recognisable games and it gave us hope. Our main goal is always to win."For the moment, even the summit of South Asia looks distant. Anything else is still a dream. The team fails to get anywhere near qualification for the Asian Cup, never mind the global tournament. Rehman's evaluation is probably more optimistic than most. "To qualify for a World Cup will take twenty years and there needs to be a complete overhaul of the whole football system."

Blackmagic Design Adds Timecode and DNxHD QuickTime Support to HyperDeck SSD Recorders
Blackmagic Design today announced the release of HyperDeck 2.5 public beta, a new software update that adds embedded timecode support, DNxHD recording to QuickTime and SDI camera record triggering to its HyperDeck SSD recorders.
HyperDeck 2.5 public beta for Mac OS X and Windows is available for download now and is free of charge for all Blackmagic Design customers. This update includes support for both HyperDeck Shuttle 2 and HyperDeck Studio models of Blackmagic Design SSD recorders.
HyperDeck 2.5 software includes timecode support for both HyperDeck Shuttle and HyperDeck Studio. Timecode information embedded within the ancillary data space of HD-SDI video signals can now be written to HyperDeckâs uncompressed or Avid DNxHD compressed video files. Customers can preserve the timecode from their incoming video stream based on the standard RP-188 HD protocol and playback recorded files with this original timecode information.
HyperDeck Shuttle and HyperDeck Studio models feature Avid DNxHD record and playback that is fully certified by Avid. HyperDeck 2.5 software adds the option to record and playback DNxHD QuickTime as well as DNxHD MXF format files. The choice to wrap DNxHD files in a QuickTime format extends the opportunity to use Avidâs industry standard file encoding with a wide range of software and to suit specific workflows.
Recording to HyperDeck Shuttle can now be automatically triggered by cameras and other HD-SDI video equipment. Many professional cameras embed start/stop flags within their SDI video output and HyperDeck Shuttle now recognizes these commands to start and stop recording in sync with the camera. The advantage is that customers can now record to HyperDeck Shuttle without the need to separately activate recording on their camera and disk recorder.
As some cameras donât output the start/stop flag in the standard way, this new update also includes a new rolling timecode record trigger feature. This means now virtually any camera or device that outputs RP-188 timecode can be used to start and stop HyperDeck Shuttle recording! HyperDeck will now watch RP-188 HD timecode and when the timecode starts counting, the HyperDeck will instantly start recording! This means even professional equipment and cameras like the ARRI ALEXA can now automatically trigger HyperDeck Shuttle to record uncompressed or DNxHD timecode synchronized files!
âThis software update adds a number of valuable functions to HyperDeck,â said Grant Petty, CEO, Blackmagic Design. âWeâve based this on feedback from HyperDeck customers on the features they needed most and this feedback reflects the wide use of HyperDeck recorders from acquisition through to content delivery.â
Availability and Price
HyperDeck 2.5 public beta for Mac OS X and Windows is available for download now and is free of charge for all Blackmagic Design customers.

text: Pennsylvania Homecare Association Study Shows PA's Home Health Care Industry Growing By Mary Wilson • Nov 11, 2013 A study of the economic impact of Pennsylvania's home health care industry shows the sector has a big financial footprint and is expected to grow larger yet. The report was commissioned by the Pennsylvania Homecare Association, representing about 500 homecare and hospice providers. It finds the home-based health care industry contributed to nearly $22 billion in economic activity in the commonwealth last year, putting the sector just behind the state's medical schools and nursing homes in spending and jobs supported.

Fault Lines on the city's homelessness crisis
03 Dec 2003 22:14 GMT
The military told journalists on Wednesday its own staff may have accidentally given his lawyer classified documents.
Captain James Yee had been due to face a military version of a grand jury hearing in Fort Benning, Georgia on Tuesday.
He is accused of wrongfully taking classified materials at the US naval base in Cuba where 660 suspected al-Qaida and Taliban fighters are detained.
But the hearing was postponed to Monday after the government found that a handwritten note by Yee, included in a packet of materials sent to his lawyer, may itself have contained classified information.
No defence case
Petty Officer Christopher Sherwood of the Southern Command said the discovery led investigators to immediately notify security officials at Guantanamo Bay, prompting the hearing to be set back.
Yee's lawyer, Eugene Fidell, said the government sent four people to his office on Tuesday to collect the 15 pages of suspect documents, which included the chaplain's calendar.
"If I sound a little baffled, it's because I am," Fidell said, adding that he had encouraged the government to reconsider the public interest in pursuing the case.
"If I sound a little baffled, it's because I am. It seems to me that it makes it a lot more difficult to prosecute the case, since I don't understand how a chaplain is to handle it"

Eugene Fidell,James Yee defence lawyer
Yee is among four men having had contact with the prisoners at Guantanamo to face charges over security breaches at the base.
Other Guantanamo cases
US army Colonel Jack Farr was charged on Saturday with mishandling a citizen of Egyptian descent who worked at Guantanamo as an interpreter.
Farr was charged last month with gathering, transmitting or losing defence information and making false statements.
An air force translator, Senior Airman Ahmad al-Halabi, was arrested 23 July on charges of espionage and aiding the enemy by attempting to send information about the prisoners and the facility to Syria.
But Yee had been held for 76 days before being sent to Fort Benning for the hearing.
He was released on 25 November, when the military brought additional charges of making a false statement and adultery.
The 35-year-old is a graduate of the West Point military academy. He converted from a Lutheran religion to Islam and was a counsellor to Muslim detainees at Guantanamo.

Is Uber's Business Model Screwing Its Workers?
First published at Jacobin.
Kazi drives a Toyota Prius for Uber in Los Angeles. He hates it.
He barely makes minimum wage, and his back hurts after long shifts. But every time a passenger asks what it's like working for Uber, he lies: "It's like owning my own business; I love it."
Kazi lies because his job depends on it. After passengers finish a ride, Uber asks them to rate their driver on a scale from one to five stars. Drivers with an average below 4.7 can be deactivated — tech-speak for fired.

The Freelancer Economy is Here. Should We Celebrate?
Early this month, the Freelancers Union released the results of an Edelman study which found that an astounding 34 percent of the U.S. workforce is now comprised of "freelancers."
In considering the results of the co-commissioned study, the Freelancers Union was in an oddly celebratory mood:
But this is more than an economic change. It's a cultural and social shift on par with the Industrial Revolution. Just as the move from an agrarian to an industrial society had dramatic effects on social structures around civil rights, workforce participation, and even democracy itself, so too will this shift to a more independent workforce have major impacts on how Americans conceive of and organize their lives, their communities, and their economic power.
This and countless other studies make it hard to contest the notion that the "end of jobs" is indeed nigh, and few would argue with the Freelancers Union's assertion that this major labor shift will have a massive social impact. But whether we should happily embrace this shift is still up for debate.

Did Indiana Autoworkers Strike a Blow Against Two-Tier Contracts?
With their day-long strike a week ago and ratification of a new union contract on Sunday, workers at a Hammond, Indiana, auto parts plant may have dealt a blow to a divisive concession that has proven a scourge to many unions in recent years—"two-tier" wage systems.
Under these two-tier systems, new workers start at hourly rates far below longtime workers and have scheduled pay progressions that will never match the veterans' pay (nor usually their benefits, especially pensions). For example, under the old contract at the Hammond plant, Lear paid new workers as little as $11 an hour, rising to a maximum of $16 an hour, while veterans made $19.97 an hour doing the same work.

New Republican Bill Would Paralyze National Labor Relations Board
This week, Republican Senators introduced a bill they call the "The National Labor Relations Board Reform Act." Its chances of passage are very slim, but that's beside the point: The GOP wants to emphasize its displeasure with President Barack Obama's appointments of labor-friendly board members who thwart businesses' attempts to keep unions out of their workplaces.
The key feature of the bill would neuter the board (already too weak by many standards) by mandating that it be made up of three Republicans and three Democrats—a prescription apparently designed to ensure permanent partisan gridlock. It would also restrict the authority of the board's chief prosecutor and cut the operating budget of the agency if cases weren't decided in a timely manner. Larry Cohen, President of the Communications Workers of America (CWA), remarks that the bill would mean "the NLRB just can't do anything any more—and that's exactly what they [Republicans] want."

A 22-Year Battle Pays Off for American Airlines Workers
Twenty-two years ago, Janet Elston and a few other passenger service agents at American Airlines decided that they needed a union. This week, they finally got it, winning an overwhelming vote to join the Communications Workers of America from 14,500 agents working for American and its new merger partner, US Airways.
"It's going to be a high-five day at the airport," she says.
With that vote, the labor movement also scored one of its largest victories in decades among a workforce primarily located in the South and Southwest, where resistance to unions by employers and reticence to join by many employees has been high. Roughly three-fourths of the merged company's ethnically diverse, primarily female service agents live in Texas, Florida, North Carolina or Arizona.
The victory, Communications Workers of America (CWA) president Larry Cohen says, primarily results from the "relentless" effort by the workers at the airline. "The lesson here is, 'Never stop,'" he says.

Rank-and-File Rail Workers Rebel Against Single-Person Crews
Railroad workers scored a victory last week in a years-long battle over the introduction of single-person crews on freight trains, a move that railroad workers say is a recipe for disaster. On September 10, a unit of the International Association of Sheet Metal, Air and Rail Transportation Workers (SMART) union announced that members had voted down a proposed contract which would have allowed the railroad company BNSF to run more than half its trains with just one worker on board.
BNSF and other railroad companies assert that automation and modern controls on tracks mean freight trains can be safely and efficiently operated by only one engineer, a change that would essentially eliminate the position of the conductor.
Railroad workers, however, say that having only one person on trains that are often more than a mile long is a safety risk for workers and communities alike, especially as more and more trains are involved in carrying explosive crude oil cross-country. The introduction of single-person crews would further a longstanding push by industry to reduce the number of workers needed to operate trains; currently most freight trains have a conductor and an engineer, but in decades past crews of three to five people were common. An industry shift to single-person crews would likely mean significant job losses, and significant savings for railroads on labor costs.

In Pennsylvania, Labor Poised to Unseat Corbett in November Elections
Just in time for Labor Day, a new election poll last week brought good news for Pennsylvania unions. The latest data from the Pittsburgh-based Robert Morris University Polling Institute shows Tom Wolf, a pro-labor Democrat running for governor of Pennsylvania this November, trouncing the conservative Republican incumbent by more than 30 points. If the poll proves predictive come Election Day, Wolf's win would be a historic one, defying the trend of near-automatic reelection of incumbent governors, and ushering in a huge victory for the state's unions.
The poll, released September 2, shows Democratic candidate Tom Wolf leading Republican Gov. Thomas W. Corbett by 55.8 to 24.7 percent. Though Pennsylvania labor leaders caution that the enormous lead indicated by this poll is an outlier, other polls have also indicated that Wolf has a powerful lead over the unpopular Corbett. So powerful, in fact, that National Journal Political Editor Josh Kraushaar titled a recent commentary on Corbett, "Dead Man Walking."

Student Labor Activists Renew Spirit of 1964 Freedom Summer
In 1964, the Freedom Summer campaign for voting rights in Mississippi appealed to college students to confront one of the great social justice issues of the age. Fifty years later, labor activists challenging the corporate power of Walmart called on the same spirit to lead a small group of students off campuses and into the fight for economic justice on behalf of the giant company's low-paid workers. Organizers of the effort, dubbed the "Summer for Respect" hope the program will help inspire a new generation of student labor activism and deepen the links between labor unions and academia.
Adam Reich, the Columbia University professor who led this summer's student-labor initiative, says the Summer for Respect differed from the historic 1964 effort in a number of ways. The program took 20 undergraduate students from several different colleges and inserted them into active OUR Walmart campaigns in different parts of the country. Student participated in daily organizing efforts, but one of the program's primary goals was to combine students' campaign work with the academic goal of documenting the lives of the Walmart workers, and spreading that information to a wider audience. The students compiled an oral history archive and related materials for use by other workers, activists, students, and historians, explains Reich.

Railroad Conductor: 'Railroading Has Changed So Much'
For three years in the early 1970s, journalist Studs Terkel gathered stories from a variety of American workers. He then compiled them into Working, an oral-history collection that went on to become a classic. Four decades after its publication, Working is more relevant than ever. Terkel, who regularly contributed to In These Times, once wrote, "I know the good fight—the fight for democracy, for civil rights, for the rights of workers has a future, for these values will live on in the pages of In These Times." In honor of that sentiment and of Working's 40th anniversary, ITT writers have invited a broad range of American workers to describe what they do, in their own words. More "Working at 40" stories can be found here.
In Working, Terkel interviewed Bill Norworth, a railroad worker for fifty-three years who had recently retired as a locomotive engineer on the Chicago Northwestern Railroad. In 1970, he was still serving as president of his local of the Brotherhood of Railroad Engineers (which is now part of the Teamsters) in Working, Norworth described some of the changes in technology—including the transition from steam to diesel power—that affected working conditions, job skills and staffing levels during his career working on passenger and freight trains. Reflecting on the higher status of railroaders in the heyday of the industry, Norworth told Terkel: "They were the aristocrats at one time, but that time's gone now…. The engineer was respected then, and now there's no respect for him. He's just a dummy…." As for deterioration of U.S. passenger train service, already evident four decades ago, he observed that, "If they had good trains again, people would ride. But they discourage you…"
Forty-two years later, Brian Lewis talked to In These Times about his job as a Union Pacific Railroad conductor, which he has just retired from after 36 years in the industry. He was long active in the United Transportation Union and also belongs to a cross-union reform group called Railroad Workers United (RWU). RWU has been fighting industry attempts to introduce single-employee train crews, which it believes are unsafe. RWU has also tried to warn regulators and the public about the dangers of longer and heavier trains, particularly those hauling hazardous materials like Bakken crude oil from North Dakota. Lewis talked to In These Times about how rail carriers have changed in the decades since Norworth's long tour of duty and the challenges facing railroad workers today.
It was a childhood dream to become a railroad worker. Ever since I was a kid, I always loved trains. After graduating from UC-Berkeley and trying my hand at journalism for a few years in the early 1970s, I ended up at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in San Francisco. I felt stuck in the office, doing intake on air quality complaints and setting up investigative interviews. Then, one day I saw a job advertisement—the Western Pacific Railroad was hiring "switchmen/brakemen" for its freight hauling operations between Salt Lake City and the Bay Area. I got my training and orientation in Portola, CA., a small railroad town north of Lake Tahoe, in the Sierras. The union was very involved in the whole process—job training, testing and helping to decide who made the grade and was ready to go. Half of my training class consisted of sons or daughters of existing railroaders.

Protesters Arrested at $15-an-Hour Action Outside Burger King
In Oakland, California, on Thursday, 150 workers and supporters took on the billion-dollar fast-food industry, urging companies like Burger King, McDonalds, Taco Bell, Jack-in-The-Box and others to pay their workers fairly instead of doling out poverty level wages. Fourteen people were arrested in downtown Oakland as they participated in peaceful civil disobedience. They were later issued citations and released.
"When I was younger, the thought of having money in my pocket [by working at Taco Bell] was big, but as you start to pay bills, you realize how little it is. That's one of the first things I got used to when I got my job: being broke," Alvaro Sandoval, a fast-food worker at Taco Bell in Oakland, told Working In These Times.

Monticello historian's digitizing projecttags: Thomas Jefferson, Washington Post, Jefferson Looney
Thomas Jefferson died 186 years ago. But J. Jefferson Looney still wants the nation's third president to speak for himself.
The Monticello historian has spent more than a quarter-century deciphering, annotating and publishing thousands of Jefferson's letters precisely as they were written, including eccentric spellings ("knolege"), obscure capitalizations and musings on slavery, God and death.
Looney's work is part of an audacious, multimillion-dollar memorial to some of the nation's most prominent Founding Fathers: an attempt to track down and publish an exhaustive collection of all of the significant correspondence and other documents written by -- and sent to -- George Washington, John Adams, Jefferson, James Madison, Alexander Hamilton and Benjamin Franklin....

Tanzanian women who are making it through network marketing By SHARIFA KALOKOLA in Dar es Salaam | Thursday, November 15 2012 at 09:00
There was a lot of excitement when the concept of network marketing was first introduced in Tanzania only a few years ago. Many people rushed into the business and tried their luck – the majority having been misled into believing that it was a get-rich-quick scheme. But soon enough, they abandoned it in frustration. However, there are those who persevered, and are now reaping the benefits.
You see them roaming the streets carrying various items ranging from foods to cosmetic products. At shopping malls they wait in the parking lots, smartly dressed and wooing potential clients. Some do it from the comfort of their offices, convincing their colleagues to buy the products. Others do it from home. Over the years, network marketers have gained popularity in Tanzania.
Apparently, it has been a tale of mixed fortunes. While for some this venture has become the road to riches, there are some who are getting it wrong and hustle too much before quitting in frustration.
But here are some Tanzanian women for whom network marketing has been a blessing:
May Munuo
For four years now, May Munuo has been in the network marketing business with Forever Living Products International, Inc. (FLPI), a US-based company that sells aloe vera and bee-derived drinks, cosmetics, nutritional supplements and personal care products. She says network-marketing pays.
"Network marketing was my vehicle to financial freedom. My part is only to choose the best way to attain my goal. The best thing about network marketing is that I am not alone; it is ready-made and proven system that works if one is committed," she says.
Munuo was working as a compliance officer at the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) before joining the business world. It was a leap of faith for someone who had $285 as capital for business.
"I looked at what I was earning working, and I told myself that this was just not enough, and that was beside the fact that I had no quality time for my family due to work pressure," says Munuo, who holds a Master's degree in finance.
First she decided to do the business while working at NSSF, but after a few months had to quit. "I was in a lot of debt then, and there were loans to service. I had borrowed money for my car and house. I just wanted a change. I wanted to be rich and have the financial freedom," says the 43-year-old.
Things worked out well for her. Taking advantage of the Internet, she easily grew her list of clients via the social networks and emails. She also had DVDs, which had all the information her customers needed to know about the products.
So, she would send them emails, and give them the DVDs. It worked. It was also easy for her because she says she had tried some of the products on herself, and had seen some major changes.
"I started off by using the products on myself and when I saw the positive changes, for example, on my skin, and the improved health, it was easy for me to share the information with other people, my potential clients, on the benefits of these products. That way, I got more and more customers and I built my network of marketers," she says.
She says in her first year of doing business she made a substantial profit in the millions of Tanzanian shillings. Incredible as it sounds, the single mother of three says the products they sell are expensive because "they are of high standards".
"I have many clients who have no problems when it comes to money because they want quality products, and this is what they get from my products," says Munuo.
She explains that with network marketing the greatest challenge is how to disseminate information about the products in such a way that one's potential clients easily understand it.
"There are many people who can afford the products but the challenge is how to make them understand the value of the products. Through attending trainings that are frequently offered at our headquarters offices in Dar es Salaam, I got the knowledge on the products I sell," she says.
In her new career, Munuo says she gets both monetary and emotionally satisfaction. She sees herself helping many people with health problems.
"I can also now travel to any place that I want, at any time. I also have time to take and pick my children to and from school and that is what satisfaction means to me," says the single mother.
She advises graduates who are yet to be employed to give network marketing a shot because "it can be your road to success".
Munuo feels challenged in her new business to help address the problem of people who do not pay any attention to their health.
"Too many Tanzanians are not aware of the benefits of taking good care of their health. Skin bleaching, for instance, is very common among the women," she says.
Munuo is now investing in real estate while taking her networking business beyond the Tanzanian borders.
So what does it take to be a successful network marketer? "To become a successful networker one must be persevering, and have excellent communication skills," she says.
Serah George
She joined network marketing soon after she finished her Form Six exams three years ago. It was good start with a capital of $425 given to her by her parents.
Serah Gearge had also been inspired by her fiancé, who was already a network marketer by that time. Since then, she has not regretted pursuing the business.
She now makes a profit of up to $945 a month. But her story is like that of most network marketers – one of toiling, perseverance, commitment and having faith that one day things will work out.
"I toiled to reach where I am now. The first bad thing that I came across was rejection. Many people rejected the products and this made me want to quit. Customers demand explanations. For example they ask why they should buy a tooth paste at $6.5 while they can get one at less than a dollar," she says.
But equipped with patience, the young woman says she endured and now, thanks to Facebook and other social network sites, she has built a strong network of clients. She also had an experience with the products she was selling, which made it easier for her.
"I also drop flyers, brochures in different places I go. I started by selling the products to my relatives and friends and now I see the consumer network expanding," she says in an interview with Success.
She first used the products to cure pimples and it worked for her. Since that time, she developed interest in cosmetics. She attended a beauty and cosmetics course in Kenya, and now is also a beauty consultant.
Serah is happy with her business because of her flexible working hours. "I don't have to rise up early in the morning to go to work.
My daily routine is based on appointments. I am my own boss. With this job I have freedom and power," she sums up.

5 Surprising Reasons Behind The GNOME Resurgence
When the team behind GNOME came out with GNOME 3, which included the infamous GNOME Shell, the most popular desktop environment of the time saw a sharp decrease in users. And honestly, that trend is pretty easy to explain. When GNOME 3 initially came out, it was incomplete, buggy, and foreign. The concepts behind GNOME Shell were never before seen on a desktop system, and lots of users who were used to panels/taskbars and menus didn't like the rather dramatic changes.

Martin Gore Subpoenaed in Crazy WoW Lawsuit
By Tom Breihan on November 25, 2009 at 11:40 a.m. EST

People are people, and sometimes they sue video game manufacturers for causing them alienation. GameSpot reports that a San Jose gamer named Erik Estavillo is suing Activision Blizzard, makers of the online multiplayer game World of Warcraft, for a whole mess of poorly thought-out reasons. Estavillo believes that the game's monthly subscription fee is too high and that its various other charges are too numerous, and he also believes that the game contributes to his sense of alienation. To that end, Estavillo has subpoenaed Depeche Mode multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Martin Gore, who, to hear Estavillo tell it, is an expert in alienation (via Slicing Up Eyeballs).

Check out the clip, directed by Eric Wareheim of Tim and Eric, after the jump:
Peter Bjorn and John Remix Depeche Mode, Tour With El Perro Del Mar
By Tom Breihan on September 2, 2009 at 5:00 p.m. EDT

Now that they've spent the summer touring with Depeche Mode and becoming rap remix fodder, it's safe to say that Peter Bjorn and John are definitely no longer just those guys who sing "Young Folks". And pretty soon, they'll add another feather to their cap, when Mute releases their remix of Depeche's "Fragile Tension". (No exact release date is set just yet.)
So: Time for a victory lap! This fall, PB&J will tour North America with fellow Swede-pop traveler El Perro Del Mar along for the ride. Before that, though, they'll finish up their opening duties for Depeche Mode and play some European headlining shows.
El Perro Del Mar, meanwhile, has shows coming up in Argentina and Australia. You can find all dates for both bands below.
iPhone Roundup: Jason Forrest, Coldplay, Depeche Mode, More
By Ryan Dombal on August 6, 2009 at 1:05 p.m. EDT
Roughly 95 percent of all iPhone apps are wildly useless. (Did you know that there's one called "Are You a Lazy Bum?" that tells you how lazy you are based on a quiz? A tip: If you're taking an iPhone quiz about how lazy you are, you are one lethargic motherfucker.)
But there are a few that can make a train ride or a cousin's birthday party or a shitty opening band set go by a bit quicker. In this recurring feature, we'll round up new music-related apps-- for bands, labels, etc.-- and try to give you the skinny on whether they're worth your time and/or money.

Freedreno Gallium3D Is Close To Merging In Mesa
Published on 26 February 2013 11:36 AM EST
Written by
Michael Larabel
6 Comments
Rob Clark has sent out a revised Freedreno Gallium3D driver that he's hoping to be merged into the mainline Mesa repository. This provides an open-source user-space driver for the Qualcomm Adreno A220 graphics hardware.
The Adreno A220 is the GPU that Qualcomm uses with its Snapdragon S3 SoC. This ARM System-on-Chip with the APQ8060, MSM8260, and MSM8660 parts is found in devices like the HP TouchPad, Samsung Galaxy S II, Samasung Galaxy S Blaze 4G, ASUS Eee Pad Memo, HTC Sensation, Samsung Galaxy Note, and LG Optimus LTE.
The reverse-engineered
Freedreno driver project
was started by Rob Clark last year while working at Texas Instruments and
he's now working for Red Hat
. The back-story to Freedreno is covered in
An Open-Source Graphics Driver For Snapdragon
Earlier this month
the Freedreno DRM library was merged
for the user-space driver to communicate with Qualcomm's obscure kernel graphics driver. (For now Rob is relying upon Qualcom's open-source kernel graphics driver but eventually he may end up writing his own proper Snapdragon KMS/DRM kernel driver.) Now Rob is up to version two on his Freedreno Gallium3D driver he wants merged.
His new patch from yesterday can be found on
the Mesa-dev mailing list
. This second version incorporates feedback he received from developers on the original Gallium3D driver. "Currently works on a220. Others in the a2xx family look pretty similar and should be pretty straightforward to support with the same driver. The a3xx has a new shader ISA, and while many registers appear similar, the register addresses have been completely shuffled around. I am not sure yet whether it is best to support with the same driver, but different compiler, or whether it should be split into a different driver."

National Advocacy
Housing Works' national advocacy office in Washington, DC, in partnership with the HIV Prevention Justice Alliance, amFAR, Southern AIDS Coalition, and Treatment Action Group, has initiated a community-driven national campaign to end the AIDS epidemic in the United States by 2025.
With recent advancements in science, data, and health-care access, we can end AIDS if we have the resolve, even without a cure—by dramatically reducing the number of new HIV infections and by bringing those living with HIV/AIDS to optimal health. An HIV+ person on treatment that renders the virus "undetectable" is not only healthy but also virtually unable to transmit HIV to others. By combining effective biomedical strategies with interventions addressing social drivers of the disease, we can bring HIV below epidemic levels nationally.
A Framework for ending AIDS in the U.S. by 2025
The National HIV/AIDS Strategy (NHAS), the Affordable Care Act (ACA), and Medicaid expansion in some states across the nation offer unprecedented momentum and offer a solid framework for realizing the end of AIDS. Housing Works' national staff and partners facilitate broad collaborative efforts among state-based partners and coalitions (HIV-specific and beyond) to promote and advocate for meaningful implementation of ACA, Medicaid expansion (especially in states where incidence and prevalence remain high), and other systemic change necessary to end the AIDS epidemic—addressing viral suppression, incidence, disparities/inequities, and stigma. National staff also advocates for federal-level actions that encourage and support state-based planning and implementation.
Despite the tremendous progress in HIV prevention and treatment over the past two decades, much work remains to be done. According to the CDC, the annual number of new HIV infections in the United States has remained fairly static for decades, with about 50,000 people becoming newly infected each year.
The Care Continuum (Treatment Cascade) & Trends in New HIV Infections in the U.S.
The Care Continuum (shown above), also called the treatment cascade, is a visual model being used to identify challenges in HIV care and improve the delivery of services to persons living with HIV across the entire range of care—from diagnosis of HIV infection and active linkage in care to initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART), retention in care, and eventual viral suppression (meaning no detectable HIV virus in the blood). The creation of the Care Continuum has already helped advocates advance calls for evidence-based policies. Cities such as Washington, DC, and San Francisco are also showing significant declines in HIV incidence, offering baseline data around best practices to consider for replication in other areas.
One of the primary challenges highlighted by the Care Continuum is that of the 1.1 million people in the U.S. living with HIV/AIDS, only about 25% have undetectable HIV viral loads (also called "viral suppression"), meaning that they are getting the full benefits of the treatment they need to keep the virus under control, stay healthy, and prevent transmitting the virus to others.
By "ending AIDS," we mean achieving the following goals in all key populations and jurisdictions:
- increasing viral suppression to 80% (percentage suggested by recent modeling)
- decreasing incidence to < 0.5% (the global public health standard for infectious diseases)
- ending the disparities in incidence and prevalence
- ending stigma.
National campaign objectives will include identifying key states and jurisdictions that are poised to become leaders in ending the AIDS epidemic, creating state-by-state assessments, using those assessments to develop core principles and state-specific advocacy tools to implement a plan to end AIDS, to promote for meaningful implementation of ACA and other core components necessary to end the AIDS epidemic, and to use the state assessments to advocate for federal actions that support state-based end-AIDS plans and implementation.
Housing Works' national staff also cover a range of policy priorities affecting people living with HIV/AIDS and, in collaboration with the National AIDS Housing Coalition, the national advocacy team also advocates for housing as an essential tool in the prevention and treatment of HIV/AIDS.
Housing Works also serves as the advisor and fiscal agent for a national grassroots network of people living with HIV and their allies, the Campaign to End AIDS, which has chapters in 25 states.
Lastly, we serve as the fiscal agent for Intercambios Puerto Rico, a community-based organization in Fajardo, Puerto Rico.
