This study shows Pap smear test rates among community-attached lesbian, bisexual and queer (LBQ) women in New South Wales (NSW) have changed little over time. The 3-year participation rate was similar to the general NSW population. Significant predictors for ever having attended for a Pap smear test included ever having had a sexually transmissible infection test, being out about sexuality to a regular doctor and ever having had sex with men. Findings highlight the importance of health providers providing a safe and welcoming environment for LBQ women to openly discuss their health.
The composition of combination antiretroviral therapy has changed over time, but the impact this change has had on the prevalence of lipodystrophy is unclear. Our study compares the prevalence of lipodystrophy, metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease risk in HIV-infected males in 1998 and in 2010, 12 years later at the same institution– whilst lipodystrophy prevalence appears to be declining – metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease risk are increasing.
Young people's perceptions of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services are investigated through a cross-sectional study via eight reference group meetings and an electronic survey in four sites: Atherton Tablelands, Rockhampton, Toowoomba and Townsville. Data from 391 rural and regional participants was precoded for bivariate comparisons involving χ2 and confidence interval tests. Results showed that the most valued markers of quality in SRH services defined by young people all related to staff characteristics: friendly, easy to talk to staff, who were good listeners and did not judge them. Training and retention of staff with these attributes can improve SRH service provision for youth.

The current study aimed to identify behavioural and identity formation variables associated with seeking sex online among 445 gay and bisexual adolescents and youth. Nearly half of the sample used the Internet for seeking sex, which was correlated with substance use and sexual risk behaviour. Seeking sex online was found as a predictor for sexual risk behaviour beyond all other predictors. Seeking sex online is influenced by the gay sub-culture climate and peer group relationships, rather than by social stressor variables related to sexual orientation formation processes, or by the subject's general mental health condition
The sexual health of young people in England is an urgent public health concern. While interventions to address young people's sexual health have focussed on knowledge, skills and contraception access, amazingly none in the UK has explicitly addressed the effects of the social hierarchies of gender and gendered behavioural ideals that shape young people's sexual expectations, attitudes and behaviour. The lack of attention to gender is a persistent gap in health research, practice and policy. A rigorous evaluation of such an intervention package would go some way to building an evidence base for challenging gender norms, which appear to be strongly associated with adverse sexual health outcomes.
Between July 2011 and June 2012, 22 in-depth interviews were conducted with people who inject drugs (PWID) participating in the Mitsampan Community Research Project in Bangkok, Thailand. Semi-structured interviews explored willingness to access rapid HIV testing delivered by a healthcare professional or a trained peer within peer-based drop-in centres. Many PWID in this study sample noted the value of a peer-based approach to receiving testing and indicated their willingness to access rapid HIV testing in peer-based drop-in centres. The findings from this study highlight the potential for novel peer-based methods to complement existing HIV services in an effort to improve access to testing among this population.
This paper aims to describe characteristics related to maternal and congenital syphilis in selected countries of Latin America and Caribbean for the period 2010–12. The main limitation of the analyses was data quality leading to the conclusion that countries must continue to be supported to build capacity for collecting high-quality data on intervention coverage and inequities, and to use it as a basis for decisions.
Syphilis remains widespread worldwide, with increasing rates among men who have sex with men. This paper reviews available evidence regarding syphilis transmission, and discusses how key prevention interventions, such as syphilis screening and treatment, condoms, and risk-reduction counselling modify syphilis transmission dynamics.
With accurate molecular tests now available for diagnosis of chlamydia and gonorrhoea at the point of care (POC), we explored their potential utility in various clinical settings in Australia. Findings from in-depth interviews suggested that POC testing is likely to be of greatest benefit in remote Aboriginal communities where prevalence of sexually transmissible infections is high and treatment delays are common. Some respondents indicated that POC testing may be useful in juvenile justice services and in certain primary health care, general practice and outreach settings – although opinions were mixed, particularly in relation to urban services with easy access to pathology services.
This cross-sectional survey of 447 sexually active girls aged 10–19 in South Africa identifies factors associated with adolescent pregnancy and explores a pathway of risk by assessing whether condom use mediated the relationship between age-disparate sexual relationships and adolescent pregnancy. Consistent condom use and school enrolment were associated with lower pregnancy rates, while age-disparate sex and long-term school absences with higher pregnancy rates, controlling for age, age at sexual initiation, poverty and residence. The indirect effect of age-disparate sex on adolescent pregnancy through condom use was significant, suggesting that not using condoms in age-disparate sexual relationships may drive adolescent pregnancy.
A mixed methods study in Brazil identified patterns of drug use, violence and sexual behaviours in a representative sample of nightclubs and patrons. Ethnographic observations were performed inside the nightclubs and showed the existence of "dark rooms" – areas reserved for sexual intercourse – in nightclubs targeting men who have sex with men. The letter describes characteristics of the sexual behaviour in these areas.
This study explored the number of businesses available to purchase condoms from within 2 miles of a large college campus and investigated environmental differences between types of businesses. The average unit price of male condoms was significantly higher in drug store/pharmacies compared with convenience-type stores and grocery stores and barriers to purchasing condoms were significantly higher in convenience stores/gas stations. An understanding of environmental barriers related to purchasing condoms is necessary and must be considered when targeting sexual health promotion on college campuses.
Duplex testing for Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae has become routine in most Australian laboratories, greatly increasing the number of tests performed for N. gonorrhoeae. Increasing notifications for N. gonorrhoeae should be interpreted with caution.
This review explores the advances and utility of rapid point-of-care tests for syphilis using the World Health Organizations' ASSURED criteria.
Male sex workers (MSW) have high rates of unprotected sex with both male and female sexual partners, including both client partners and elective partners. Condom use is low and high rates of unprotected vaginal and anal sex were found across partner types. MSWs evidence high rates of sexually transmissible infections (STIs), notably ulcerative STIs that may facilitate HIV transmission. Despite high levels of behavioural risk, rates of health services utilisation are low, symptom-driven, lacking in full disclosure of sexual risk, and often abandoned before treatment has been completed. There is an urgent need to develop targeted sexual health interventions for MSW, both to reduce behavioural risk and to increase knowledge and skills related to health services utilisation.
We explore the controversies that exist around the management of syphilis in HIV-positive individuals. The optimal antimicrobial regimen to treat syphilis in HIV is unknown due to a lack of randomised controlled trial data. We discuss the factors associated with poorer serological outcomes whereby enhanced antibiotic therapy, which penetrates the central nervous system, may be of benefit.
This paper examines the male and female syphilis notification rates in high-income countries from 2000 to 2013. The male to female ratio and proportion of cases reported as being in men who have sex with men is calculated. This paper shows that in countries with high income, there is a near universal finding of increasing rates of syphilis in MSM. It is therefore clear that no country has identified an effective method to control syphilis in this population.
The present work described the congenital syphilis (CS) case reporting profile during 2012 in Guangzhou, the capital of Guangdong province, southern China. A total of 110 CS cases were reviewed, and the results suggested that 49.1% of the CS cases reviewed were identified as cases that should be reported; and 50.9% were identified as over reporting, although the CS incidence in Guangzhou is rising, it may be overestimated. It implied that, to decrease CS cases of over reporting, both antenatal care management and serum rapid plasma reagin titres follow up should be raised.
Syphilis control strategies are old, but interventions have changed and there is now a more scientific approach to evidence of effectiveness. A review of the literature found few papers used high-quality research methodology and fewer evaluated impact on prevalence or incidence; most assessed intermediate outcomes. Syphilis can often be controlled by a combination of case finding, treatment and education. However, outbreaks are unique and ongoing evaluation is needed to see if interventions are producing intended intermediate outcomes at reasonable costs.
Syphilis incidence in HIV-Positive men who have sex with men (MSM) continues to rise, however there remains barriers to enhanced testing schedules. We demonstrate an increase in syphilis testing of HIV-positive patients and a three-fold increase in new syphilis diagnoses following a period of enhanced syphilis testing in HIV-positive MSM.
To demonstrate the feasibility and acceptability of mobile point-of-care and near-patient testing for sexually transmissible infections, we offered services during an annual community event and surveyed event-goers; 42 men and women were tested. When provided with options, the majority of participants chose point-of-care and near-patient testing. Participants responding to a written questionnaire reported sample self-collection and testing in a van as acceptable, although men reported self-collection in a van as less acceptable than a doctor's office. Providing mobile point-of-care and near-patient sexually transmitted infection testing to the general population is feasible and acceptable.
The cost of antiretroviral treatment (ART) for people living with HIV (PLWH) is potentially a barrier to the commencement and adherence to HIV treatment. We conducted a retrospective cross-sectional study of pharmacy data dispensed between January 2012 and November 2013 from a large hospital network in Victoria, Australia. The estimated costs ranged from $433.20 for patients with a concession card, collecting two medications, to $866.40 for a patient without a concession card, collecting four medications. Consideration needs to be given to the costs associated with ART for PLWH in the context of new treatment-based prevention strategies.
HIV-1 infected men who have sex with men (MSM) are disproportionately affected by syphilis in many higher income countries. Anal and oral intercourse may lead to transmission and primary ulcers at non-genital sites which go unrecognised. Moreover, the manifestations of symptomatic disease, especially neurosyphilis, may be altered by HIV-1. This review provides a summary of the clinical features of early syphilis (primary, secondary and early neurological involvement) and the ways in which these may be modified by HIV-1 infection in MSM.
This manuscript provides an overview of the evolution of the global syphilis epidemic among men who have sex with men (MSM). It chronicles the changes in syphilis epidemiology among MSM including its interface with the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Finally, it seeks to describe the recent resurgence of syphilis incidence in the 2000s among MSM after a prior sharp drop in cases in the 1990s and calls for innovative strategies to address the evolving epidemic.

Last game together for Donovan and Beckham?
Nov 18, 2012, 9:23 AM EDT
Due to Los Angeles' commanding lead over Seattle going into tonight's second leg, we haven't talked much about one interesting MLS playoff subplot. The Galaxy's chance's of advancing are high enough that we haven't needed to kick at this looming possibility:
Given David Beckham's age and increasing injury incidence, and given Landon Donovan's career mid-life crisis, are we so certain that Major League Soccer's most illustrious duo (ever, that is, not just currently) will share a club address next year?
Each time these two step on the field now, we could be witnessing the final 90 minutes of their six shared years with the Galaxy.
None of this is meant to be too sensational. Beckham, 37, surely could come back. He needs a break – which is why those reports last week of an off-season guest spell in Australia rang so untrue – but certainly has enough quality to keep going. He hasn't been quite as influential as in the club's 2011 run to MLS Cup, but it's not like the former England captain is embarrassing himself out there. He's been just fine, still passing smoothly through the midfield, still delivering free kicks and corner kicks with ample sting.
(MORE: Galaxy-Sounders playoff preview)
Plus, Beckham plays his position in a way that limits his movement and, therefore, enhances any possibility of playing into 38.
Donovan? Hard to say, given those repeated warnings that a career shakeup is somewhere between "possible" and "likely."
But he does have another year remaining on his MLS contract. And a rest is what the U.S. international most needs, just like Beckham.
Still, it deserves to be pointed out that a big Seattle rally could cap the Galaxy season quickly. And as we move into another eventful MLS off-season, a fair question is whether the high-profile duo will share a kit going further.

While the South African media sit and admire Jacob Zuma's newly appointed Cabinet, a gender advocacy group, Gender Links, is somewhat apprehensive.
Last year, the 2008 Global Gender Gap report exposed the distressing reality that had women lagging far behind men in top political and decision-making roles.
Fast-forward to SA's new administration and it seems that not much has changed. Or has it?
According to a Gender Links election report, there are obvious grounds for concern:
"...the lack of gender parity in top structures of government and parliament; the declining proportion of women deputy ministers and of women in the National Council of Provinces (NCOP); questionable credentials of some women ministers and the establishment of a women's ministry."
So, 14 out of the 34 new Cabinet ministers are women. Big deal. Call me cynical, but I'd hardly describe it as 'making strides'.
With a bit of math, we know that female representation in top government makes up a mere 41%, which signifies a drop compared to the 42% represented under Thabo Mbeki, and the 43% under Kgalema Motlanthe.
What happened to South Africa's progression and our so-called 'move forward'? From where I'm standing, it seems we're headed in the wrong direction. Or Zuma is.
You'd think that while selecting his Cabinet, our new President would reflect on his past legal battles with newfound sensitivity. Especially towards women.
The Sowetan recently quoted Zille, one of South Africa's few high-ranking female political figures, as saying, "Zuma is a self-confessed womaniser with deeply sexist views, who put all his wives at risk by having unprotected sex with an HIV-positive woman."
While I may not agree with Zille's statement, it highlights some disturbing revelations about our President's attitude towards women.
Perhaps we ask too much of the man but, in an age where gender representation is vital to social development, should the President's Office not show exemplary direction in this regard?
While women in our society are struggling to make headway in male-dominated industries, we've seen some remarkable progress – even in politics.
During the run-up to the elections, two of the four major political parties – the Independent Democrats (ID) and the Democratic Alliance (DA) – have posted women as their presidential candidates.
Meanwhile the ANC did not promote a woman candidate for president. Why has the ANC's Women's League remained silent about the overlook of the party's 50/50 gender policy?
But percentages don't tell the entire story.
The goal is to make sure that women's voices are heard on important issues such as HIV/AIDS, domestic violence, and economic development. For that, we need women in top leadership positions.
Between 2005 and 2008, Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka became our country's first female Deputy President, and the highest ranking woman in the history of South Africa.
Now to me THAT is making headway. Where are the women this time round? Perhaps it's time for the Women's League to finally speak up.
What do you think of the lack of female representation in top leadership roles? Share your views with us in the box below.

Youngest female genital mutilation victim was 'aged just seven'
Data relating to cases revealed as NSPCC launches helpline
Rob Williams
Rob Williams is Production Editor (Web/Apps) at The Independent. He was formerly Senior Online Reporter. He has worked for The Independent since 2008.
Monday 24 June 2013
A girl of seven was the youngest victim to be treated for the after-effects of female genital mutilation, according to new data published today.
The details of the case were uncovered by the NSPCC along with evidence of some 1,700 women and girls who were treated by specialist FGM clinics.
The organisation is today launching a new helpline, with support from the Metropolitan Police and the Royal College of Midwives, to combat what they said is an abusive practice being carried out on young girls and even babies.
The charity says that more than 70 women and girls in the UK are seeking treatment every month for problems linked to FGM, and that 1,700 victims referred to specialist clinics in the last two years were likely to be a fraction of the total affected by the practice.
A new UK-wide helpline is aimed at protecting girls who are at risk of the ritual cutting, practised by some African, Middle Eastern and Asian communities.
Lisa Harker of NSPCC said today that the victims of the crime were "hidden behind a wall of silence".
"Like other forms of abuse if female genital mutilation is not exposed it will continue to thrive and more children will suffer", she added.
"Children who are at risk or victims of female genital mutilation often don't even know it is abusive and harmful because it is done at the request of their family.
"They are told they are unclean and immoral if they are not 'cut' and that it is in their best interest.
"There is also a huge pressure within these communities to keep quiet about female genital mutilation, with some people even being threatened with violence if they speak out.
"This is why we believe a dedicated helpline with specially trained child protection advisers is needed to help overcome the difficulties in protecting children from such a complex and secretive form of abuse."
The procedure, which is often carried out without anaesthetic, involves the total or partial removal of the external female genital organs.
The free 24-hour helpline on 0800 028 3550 and dedicated email address fgmhelpnspcc.org.uk is aimed at anyone concerned that a child's welfare is at risk because of female genital mutilation and wanting advice, information or support, the charity said.
This includes the children themselves, parents, other relatives but also professionals working with at-risk families.
Though callers' details can remain anonymous, any information that could protect a child from abuse will be passed to the police or social services.
Detective Chief Superintendent Keith Niven, of Scotland Yard's sexual offences, exploitation and child abuse command, said: "The Metropolitan Police Service is committed to supporting survivors of FGM and bringing to justice those responsible for committing this horrific crime.
"This practice cannot be disguised as being part of any culture, it is child abuse and offenders will be relentlessly pursued."
Janet Fyle, professional policy adviser at the Royal College of Midwives, added: "We welcome the introduction of a service that provides confidential and independent advice to vulnerable young girls at risk of FGM.
"FGM is child abuse and we want midwives and other health workers, who are on the frontline of safeguarding and protecting girls and young women, to seek information and advice if they are concerned about a young girl or child."

Coemar Lights Up âDivasâ? as Popular Show Returns to VH1
"Divas" returned to VH1 after a five-year hiatus with Coemar lighting fixtures showcasing six women whose songs have brought joy, optimism and empowerment to their fans worldwide. Lighting designer Tom Kenny selected Coemar Infinity Wash XLS and Infinity ACL S moving heads, supplied by Atomic Lighting, to enhance the divas' high-wattage performances telecast live on the network September 17.
"Divas" debuted on VH1 in 1998 and aired as a concert series annually through 2004. Now the network has brought back the concept in a new format at the Brooklyn Academy of Music's Howard Gilman Opera House. Paula Abdul hosted the live show that saluted divas Adele, Jennifer Hudson, Jordin Sparks, Kelly Clarkson, Leona Lewis and Miley Cyrus who performed on stage. Special guests included Cyndi Lauper, Melissa Etheridge, Sheryl Crow, Martina McBride, Stevie Wonder and India Arie; an array of celebrity presenters were also on hand.
"My brief was to make the lighting as stunning and beautiful as the divas themselves and to give every song its own theatrics and personality," says Kenny. "With the strong color and beamage I got from these lights I was able to achieve some very unique looks."
Kenny utilized a complement of 90 Infinity Wash XLs as a "matrix of lights" upstage where they serve as a backdrop for the performers.
With so much more than just superior brightness to their name, Coemar Infinity Wash XL lights sport a groundbreaking new color mix system able to achieve CMY and RGB colors (CMY patent pending). There's also an effects wheel for creating texture and aerial effects with wash light (patent pending) as well as a beam shaper rotating and indexing at 360 degrees (patent pending).
He also positioned 24 Infinity ACL S units from upstage to out in the audience to give a dynamic look to the stage and theater.
The Infinity ACL S is also renowned for its superior brightness, offering more brightness than a 1200W fixture in a 250W package. Other key features include variable beam size and beam control with rotating aerial effects; moon flower effect; split color beam effects; and CMY color mixing.
The special was executive produced by Lee Rolontz, produced by Patrizia di maria and directed by the legendary Louis J Horvitz.

Korean restaurant to open in former Katsuya location in West Ave
- Chris Shelton
- Editorial intern- Houston Business Journal
A new Korean restaurant is slated to open this fall in the West Ave mixed-use development inside the Interstate 610 Loop, taking the place of another Asian eatery.
Donald Chang — the chef and owner of current and former Asian eateries Uptown Sushi, Nara and Bluefin — will open a new Nara in the former Katsuya by Stark's space in the River Oaks mixed-use development. Katsuya opened at the 2800 Kirby Drive location more than a year ago in March 2012.
"We've been waiting for the right time to do this," Chang said in a statement. "We've seen restaurants around town feature one or two Korean items on their menu. I want to give the full inspired menu while blending it with my Japanese cooking background to create an experience like none other in this city."
Nara plans push the restaurant's entrance back to create an exterior patio — with a different outdoor menu.
Dallas-based Del Frisco's Restaurant Group (NYSE: DFRG) opened its first Houston-area Del Frisco's Grille in West Ave earlier this year.

Is there a way to use
http_build_query() without having it URL encode according to some RFC standard?
Why I don't want to URL encode everything: I'm querying the Ebay API.. They honestly insist on parameter names not being URL encoded, as far as commas in parentheses. E.g. DomainName(0) is a parameter, and the query fails if those parens are encoded.
I have the following as 'from' and 'to' values using Tuckey url rewrite:
From- "^/mycustomurl/(.+)/$"
To- "/mydestinationurl/?myparam=$1"
This works fine apart from situations where there are some of the url-reserved symbols(e.g. &) in the parameter. But a little bit of modification in my 'To' value made it work.
But now we have an issue when the query parameter value itself contains '/' in an encoded form i.e. '%2F'. The 'From' pattern fails to match such urls.
For example- if the from url is like:
Then, it is not being directed to:
Kindly help!
I'm having xhr requests with data like name=John username=JohnTheGreat. In this case I can send an xhr with content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded:
Or I can use content-type: application/json:
On the server side(I use a nodejs server with express), for both cases I use the body-parser to parse the data.
1)Which of the two will be parsed faster?I guess it would be Json since it apparently would involve just a string concatenation and an eval, while the urlencoded string seems to imply lots of string manipulations.
2)Which of the two is more secure to use for these cases? And in general, what are their security issues in modern browsers, if any? (Can, e.g., a user write as his name some script which, when being parsed will be executed?)
I'm using
HttpURLConnection to sent a GET requisition with
data-urlencode to Parse.
In the documentation of Parse, it states:
curl -X GET \ -H "X-Parse-Application-Id: ${APPLICATION_ID}" \ -H "X-Parse-REST-API-Key: ${REST_API_KEY}" \ -G \ --data-urlencode 'where={"playerName":"Sean Plott","cheatMode":false}' \ https://api.parse.com/1/classes/GameScore
But I have no idea how to do that in
HttpURLConnection.The following is my code:
HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection(); connection.setRequestMethod("GET"); connection.setRequestProperty("X-AVOSCloud-Application-Id", "psohqd1vx5ta2479i130wznpngp19uiuuku36c0s8986ccm0"); connection.setRequestProperty("X-AVOSCloud-Application-Key", "zf7ol3sit5g2ruy9emm8o62xbi3ozelpt7ipbtt29h9iaw2i"); connection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/json"); connection.connect();
How do I decode in Java a string that was encoded in C# using HttpServerUtility.UrlTokenEncode?

Through chilling winds and choppy seas, five-man crews aboard small, gray security boats worked tirelessly for 10 days patrolling the waters around a massive 348-foot petroleum vessel near the coast of Pohang, South Korea.
Boat crews from Port Security Unit (PSU) 313 worked night and day to enforce a safety zone around U.S. Naval Ship Vice Adm. K.R. Wheeler and an eight-mile submerged pipeline that extended from the ship to the shores of Dogu Beach.
During Combined Joint Logistics Over-the-Shore Exercise (CJLOTS), the Wheeler simulated providing fuel for the more 1,200 personnel involved in the exercise by pumping water through the pipeline to large bladders on shore. These bladders would then be used to fuel military vehicles and equipment in a real-world scenario.
"We provided protection for the pipeline and prevented local fisherman from anchoring or dragging fishing nets across the pipe," said Petty Officer 1st Class Jordan Gere, a reservist for eight years who has been with PSU 313 for almost three years and is a Snohomish, Wash., native. "We overcame our biggest challenge, the language barrier, by incorporating Korean Augmentation to the United States Army personnel into our boat crews to serve as interpreters."
The KATUSA program provides the U.S. military with Korean-speaking soldiers, allowing greater military functionality and maneuverability. This exercise brings together U.S. military troops and Korean allies to build working relationships and enhance security and readiness on the Korean peninsula.
The crew of PSU 313 also provided 24-hour force protection on shore, side-by-side with Republic of Korea (ROK) Military personnel during CJLOTS.
"Security teams ran entry control points alongside the ROK Marines and ROK Navy," said Gere. "ROK personnel helped with security and communication at the check points."
In addition to language barriers, unpredictable weather conditions also proved challenging for PSU 313. Temperatures would fluctuate rapidly between 30 F and 70 F. The seas would be calm one minute with more than 8-foot swells the next, and winds gusted up to 50 miles-per-hour.
"Safety was always priority one," said Coast Guard Cmdr. Daniel Clark, commanding officer for PSU 313. "In accordance with policy, the boat crews operated the TPSBs 24/7 in a broad spectrum of weather conditions and identified some mechanical areas we need to improve. This was a good opportunity and a good environment to do that."
During roving patrols on foot along Dogu Beach, security teams would walk nearly three miles along the shore day and night, taking intermittent refuge in tents to keep warm. Shore-side security teams rotated watches through five different checkpoints, working closely with the Korean military and building relations with the Korean Navy and Marines.
"The Coast Guard provides security for ports across the United States," said Coast Guard Rear Adm. Charles Ray, prospective Pacific Area deputy commander. "We've been doing this for over 200 years, and we've got a role to play here. The only way you develop the capability is to go do it. When our nation needs us, these guys will be ready."

I recently short sold my home and Jane was my realtor. I work with Realtors in my line of work daily and Jane by far is the most professional. Her expertise got our transaction closed faster than I could have anticipated. I never had to follow up with her once she was always on top of everything and answered all of my questions before I could even ask them. I would HIGHLY recommend Jane to any buyer or seller who is looking for someone they can trust. I can't express my gratitude to her enough for making a depressing situation as losing your home as painless as possible.

Ratings & Reviews
In June of this year, My mother passed away, I was going through a hard time before my mother got sick. I was trying to stay in my home, but financially it got the best of me. My sister said she has a friend that could probably help me. I called Jane to see if I could talk to her about my house. She called me that day and explained to me about my options. She told me not to worry, and that she would take care of everything. Well, she did. I was so relieved that I could now focus on my mom. She has so much knowledge selling homes and working with short sells. There were things I didn't know about or understand. Jane took the time to explain it. If you need a compassionate, considerate, and a over all wonderful person who listens to you, then Jane is your person. I highly recommended Jane . Thank you Jane for making my life a lot easier.
I love Jane. She helped me buy my town home in San Ramon. When we first looked at the house 2 years ago, there was this ugly wallpaper throughout the living area. She helped me take it down, spending hours of her own time to go beyond the call of duty. Thanks Jane, you rock!
I turned to Jane Myrenget for help with a short sale. The home had a first and 2nd mortgage on it. She is extremely knowledgeable and savvy in dealing with these type of property transactions. She told us how she thought the bank holding the 2nd mortgage would respond to our offer, and she was right! Many realtors lack experience in these type of sales. I would definitely turn to her again when in the market for more property.
Jane helped us with our short sale transaction of our home in San Leandro. We were in the process of a divorce and didn't know where to begin when it came to selling our home. Thank god for Jane! She guided us through the process and kept us in the loop every step of the way. We had a buyer the very first open house. I would highly recommend Jane!
I must say that Jane was magnificent. She listed our Condo,and the act of sale was less than three months.She is very knowledgeable and she took care of every detail. All we had to do was sign the papers. I would definitely recommend her for any real estate transaction! Scot Scofield
As my agent, Jane Myrenget has helped me buy and sell many properties here in the bay area. Jane has always been very professional and her level of customer service is unmatched. Jane is knowledgeable, competent, has a strong work ethic, and is always available and accessible. She has always put my interests first, in all of our transactions. I strongly recommend that you contact Jane when buying or selling property.

Two More Dispensaries Shut Down by the Feds in San Francisco
On August 1st two more medical marijuana dispensaries in San Francisco, California will shut down, which means there will be less dispensaries in the city than there was 10 years ago.
Vapor Room and HopeNet both have to close down by the end of the month, as their landlords received letters from U.S. Attorney Melinda Haag in April threatening them with jail time if they didn't throw the dispensaries out.
While the Vapor Room hasn't said yet what they plan to do, the folks at HopeNet are planning on going delivery-only on August 1st.
San Francisco began licensing and regulating medical cannabis dispensaries in 2005, after CA SB 420 passed in 2003, allowing storefront dispensaries in the state.
At that time (2005) there were over 40 dispensaries operating in the city, but city regulations and now the federal crackdown has reduced that number to less than 20.
Coming on the heels of the federal threats against Harborside Health Center in Oakland and San Jose, these new closures further decimate the already shrinking medical marijuana access in the bay area.
Which means patients are being affected. And since the federal government says they are not going after patients, something is off. Are we being lied to?
Would anyone be surprised if we were being lied to? Would anyone be surprised if those in power didn't care how many patients were hurt?
Let's say there is a thriving retirement community and there is only one pharmacy within 5 miles. Then suddenly that pharmacy is forced to close. What happens to those who frequented this pharmacy?
Their medicine supply is restricted. Under what circumstances besides great scarcity is it okay to restrict the medical supply?
Medical marijuana is not scarce. Common sense and compassion however, are in short supply.

Arts & Entertainment
Audiences gave the visual skulduggery of Man in the Dark a mixed reception when the first 3D (three dimensional) movie opened in Wellington on April 20, 1953.
Patrons had put on the special Polaroid glasses and paid increased prices at the Tudor in Willis St to be right in the picture for the anticipated thrills that came with the third dimension of depth.
The experience was rated as worth seeing only as a demonstration of the medium's possibilities.
What audiences saw held little that was new or exciting storytelling.
Man in the Dark was a so-so, exploitative black-and-white remake of a 1936 thriller The Man Who Lived Twice.
Wellington saw the movie before London, Paris or Sydney.
Columbia Pictures had flown prints to New Zealand from the United States soon after the world premiere at the Globe Theatre, New York, on April 2.
Six sessions were required on the first day to meet the reported phenomenal public demand.
Special projectors, a new screen and improved seating were included in the refit, which temporally closed the Tudor while it was prepared for the arrival of 3D.
A room was set up containing special ultra-violet germicidal lamps for treating the cardboard frame glasses that patrons wore while watching the movie.
After each use the glasses were treated for eight hours to prevent contagious eye infections being spread.
The practical problem of renting and collecting the glasses contributed to the American 3D movie cycle of the 1950s being so short.
Another drawback was the delay while changing reels because two projectors used had to be in synchronisation. When Man in the Dark reached Wellington, the shortcomings of the early 3D movies were not yet fully apparent.
Film censor Gordon Mirams said: "It seems clear that, at least at the outset, 'the shock appeal' of the new technique is being played up."
The Dominion's review of Man in the Dark echoed that opinion.
"The first 3D tells a mediocre crime story which serves merely as a hook for these sensations: a policeman fires a gun point-blank at you; a surgeon's instruments jab at your head; a spider swings in front of your nose; a wild sequence gives you the feeling of being on a roller coaster," the reviewer said.
Edmond O'Brien starred in the movie as a convict who has brain surgery to remove his criminal traits.
Unfortunately for him his memory is erased at the same time and he is bewildered when gangsters expect to him to know where the loot is hidden.
By Christmas 1953 the arrival of action 3D movies had been overshadowed by happier screen memories of Queen Elizabeth II's coronation and Sir Edmund Hillary's conquest of Mt Everest.

I was involved in a hit and run car accident in which i sustained injuries but luckily managed to get the license plate of the other car , my insurance company helped out with fixing my car, medical bills etc . Due to the accident i wasnt able to carry on with my part time job in which i was working as a sales agent for an overseas company. As i was a student at the time my education was effected due to the accident as well, its been almost 8 months since the car accident but the matter regarding my income replacement has not be settled yet , as the insurance investigation company are demanding that i show them tax payements for the job i was doing , but since the company was overseas the tax was being paid there.

So i'm BF, on one occasion yesterday & today LO threw up all of the milk he ate. I don't think it was spit up, it seemed like he just chocked a little on some milk, like it went down the wrong pipe & it caused him to throw up. My question is should I feed him again right after he just threw up all that milk? As for the reason he threw up, any thoughs? Could it be he was too full?
To feed or not to feed?

Just take his cues. Does he still seem hungry? If yes go ahead and feed again, if not then just wait until he is hungry again.
Posted 12/13/2012
My ds has thrown up 3 times and it was a lot. Each time she acted hungry right after so i fed her. Each of the times i think she got too much breast milk. This happened when my supply was being established and my boobs were super full.
Posted 12/13/2012
Ive had this happen three times. Each time she was hungry right after, like three feedings worth. I think she just overate, threw it all up then needed to refill her tummy.
Posted 12/13/2012
If he is showing signs, yes. If not, just wait a bit. He may have eaten a bit too much and that's what he threw up.
