Poor rainfall performance suggests below-average crop production likely
Key Messages
Stable food prices, peaking of green consumption, start of main harvest with associated labor opportunities, and ongoing safety-net programming are expected to ensure sufficient food access for most households, resulting in Minimal (IPC Phase 1) food insecurity outcomes from March to June 2015.
Late season dryness spreads across much of Southern Africa
Below-average rainfall since February has resulted in rainfall deficits in southwestern Ethiopia.
Rainfall forecast during the next week should help alleviate deficits.
Below-average rainfall over bi-modal northern Tanzania during the past several weeks has increased rainfall deficits and affected crop conditions. A significant increase in rainfall is expected across Tanzania and neighboring countries in late March.
- Several anomalously dry areas expected to receive above-average rainfall during the next week.
- Much of Ethiopia received a large increase in seasonal rains during mid-March.
Dry, hot conditions intensify in February in southern half of the region, negatively affecting crops in several areas including South Africa, Lesotho and Zimbabwe
Heavy February rainfall received in parts of Madagascar, Malawi and Mozambique
Dry conditions in early March potentially compromise production prospects in late-planted areas in north-eastern parts of the region
Regional Overview
According to a recent Malawi Vulnerability Assessment Committee (MVAC) assessment, an estimated 615,837 people will need assistance for 2 to 5 months from March 2015 onwards, requiring an equivalent of 23,750 tons of maize.
The main air operations of the Logistics Cluster for the flood response will cease today, 23 March. Roads to previously isolated areas are re-opening.
This brief summarizes FEWS NET's most forward-looking analysis of projected emergency food assistance needs in FEWS NET coverage countries. The projected size of each country's acutely food insecure population is compared to last year and the recent five-year average. Countries where external emergency food assistance needs are anticipated are identified. Projected lean season months highlighted in red indicate either an early start or an extension to the typical lean season.
•The austral summer monsoon continues to be very active over Indian Ocean and in the vicinity of eastern parts of continental SADC.
•The region received: normal rainfall conditions over the easternmost parts of contiguous SADC mostly covered by Botswana, Madagascar, Malawi, Mozambique, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
•Significant drier-than-normal conditions continued to occur over the western and southern parts of conterminous SADC.
FAO has further raised its estimate of the 2014 world cereal production and its forecast for global cereal stocks. Early prospects for cereal supplies in 2015/16 are mostly favourable, partly sustained by large stocks accumulated over the previous two seasons.
FAO's first forecast for global wheat production in 2015 indicates a likely small contraction, mostly reflecting an expected decline in Europe from last year's record output.
Main harvest and associated agricultural labor to improve food access
According to the latest GIEWS food price data, prices remain high and are at their peak as the lean season continues. The high retail prices for imported maize and limited incomes are constraining poor households' ability to adequately meet livelihood needs. Poor rural households across the country will remain Stressed (IPC Phase 2) in February.
Lesotho Emergency and Resilience Programme (ERP), implemented by FAO and the Government of Lesotho since 2012, has been retained as Finalist in the "Expo Milano 2015 Call for Best Sustainable Development Practices (BSDP)". The BSDP is a competition organised by the Universal Exposition taking place in Milan (Italy) from 1st of May to 31st of October 2015 having as a theme "Feeding the planet, energy for life".
WFP remains committed to the two strategic priorities under its 2012-2017 Country Strategy:
a) Enhancing Resilience and Responsiveness to Food Security Shocks.
Regional Overview
As of 22 Feb, 24 cholera cases have been confirmed in Malawi, with 2 new cases since 19 Feb; the new cases were recorded at health centres, not displacement sites.
Heavy rains and floods have to date affected 177,645 people (37,090 households) in Mozambique. New heavy rains continue to add to the total affected.
Due to a late onset of rains in most of the region, continued rainfall is needed until April

The Southern African summer monsoon was very active over the eastern parts of SADC region with heavy rain mostly concentrated over Island States, southern Malawi, northern Mozambique,
Zambia and Zimbabwe during December 2014 and early January 2015.
Despite those wet spells which brought flooding in some countries, overall normal rainfall conditions were mostly observed in the region;
The African Development Bank (AfDB) reiterated on Thursday, January 29, 2015 in Addis Ababa, its commitment to mobilize additional resources for the Kigali Action Plan. This Plan aims to provide clean water and sanitation to 5 million people in the ten least-developed African countries in this area.
La Banque africaine de développement (BAD) a réitéré, jeudi 29 janvier 2015 à Addis-Abeba, son engagement à mobiliser des ressources supplémentaires en faveur du Plan d'action de Kigali. Ce Plan entend fournir de l'eau potable et des services d'assainissement à 5 millions de personnes dans les dix pays africains les moins avancés dans ce domaine.

Advertising for potential renters?
Curious to know what would be good sources to use to reach potential renters that I have a condo to rent? Where do renters turn to these days when they want to find someplace to live? Its not one of those major rental complexes, but a personal condo that's being used for a rental. And, with the association rules, that's pretty much ruled out putting out any signs except one in the window. However, since the condo isn't near a major road, not a lot of people are going to see the for rent sign.
Do potential renters still use the Sunday newspapers? Its for Newport Beach in Orange County so would I want to advertise in the LA Times or the Orange County Register?
Or, is Craigslist sufficient? I don't understand how the papers can compete with that when Craigslist is free.
Any other sources or ideas?
Ideally, since the condo is near Hoag hospital and all those other medical buildings, the condo would especially appeal to people who work at Hoag. But, I'm not sure how I could reach those workers to let them know about a potential rental.
I'm a landlord and just wanted to share what I found to be an oddity: Once had a home up for rent, I advertised in a local countywide paper, Sunday to Sunday, $85, I got two calls, both were just fishing. The home is on a more well traveled street so I put a sign out along with a box of "Take One" sheets. I got over 100 responses in a matter of days from doing it that way (and was refilling the box every few days)!
I have not used Craig's yet because it's more geared to the major city we live near and not our suburban area (yet). But I'd sure be willing to try it (much more exposure and free is always good). I have no clue why advertising in the local paper has perpetually proved to be fruitless, while putting a sign out garners so many calls my answering machine fills to capacity in the course of a day or two.
Oh, one more thing. The law of averages. It's been my experience that on average, on any given property (3 single family dwellings) if I have showings scheduled 50% will be no shows (typically with no courtesy calls that they won't/can't be there, they just don't show). Of the 50% I do show the property to, about half of them will submit a completed application to me that qualifies (the other half either doesn't return the app at all or poor credit rules them out). So I figure 1 out of 4 callers in the beginning is a serious contender in the end ;)
you might also think, "what sort of person would I like to rent to?"
--a graduate student, perhaps, who will be older and more responsible, and busy studying?
--a medical student?
--a flight attendant?
--a first-year school teacher?
Then try to get word to those people. Post flyers where they go, contact organizations that deal w/ them. Admissions offices, graduate-student offices, human resources offices, housing offices, principals' offices at local schools (now's a great time; teachers are renewing their contracts or signing on to join the faculty next year).
Call the Human Resources dept. at Hoag, and ask how to get word to their personnel. If you know anyone who WORKS at Hoag, ask them.
Maybe there's a bulletin board you can post on, or the person you know from Hoag can post it on.
Also alert everyone who lives in your condo, bcs they may know people who'd like to rent there.
Every hospital I've ever worked in has bulletin boards up in the halls advertising places for rent (and a lot of other things). If you can get permission from some admin. office to post there, do it.
What kind of tenants live in your condo bldg? Finding renters with a similar lifestyle will help keep a good tenant around.
I'd be in contact with those larger companies that use executive housing services. Health care, technology, aerospace?
Don't discount Craigslist. Its works very well where I live. And its FREE.
I own a rental in a smaller city. I have not had to look for a new tenant since I bought it. I have looked at the options for advertizing when the time comes plus a coworker just filled a vacancy at his rental. he used the local paper. a week long ad was around $40 with one sunday. he got about ten calls and one guy turned out to be a good prospect that he is now renting to. I mentioned craigslist to him and he was going to do it if the paper didn't get much response. when I have an opening coming I plan to list it on craigslist a few weeks before it will be open to move in to generate some intrest and maybe show it before the current renter moves out. I would love to get a new tenant with free advertizing but plan to place a sign on the house and a newspaper ad if needed.
Personaly I ALWAYS go on Craigslist to see what's available as far as rentals go. If you device to go that route please make sure you include a few pics of your property, both inside and out. I'm sure I'm not the only one who only clicks on ads with pictures on them.

June 26, 2007 in Nation/World
Inmate grabs gun, kills officer
SALT LAKE CITY – Authorities said a prison inmate out for a medical appointment wrested a gun from a corrections officer and killed him Monday, then led police on a high-speed chase in a stolen sport utility vehicle before his capture at a fast-food restaurant.
Curtis Allgier, whose wears a swastika and the words "skin head" on his heavily tattooed face, fired a shot in the Arby's that hit no one before a customer at the restaurant grabbed the gun, Salt Lake City police Sgt. Rich Brede said.
"It sounds like he was heroic, even though he's being humble about it," he said of the 59-year-old customer.
Allgier, 27, was captured in an office and taken to jail to await charges.
Allgier got the gun from corrections officer Stephen Anderson while he was in an examination room at the University of Utah orthopedic center awaiting an MRI for back pain about 7:45 a.m., university Police Chief Scott Folsom said.
The procedure requires an officer to replace metal restraints with a plastic "flex cuff," said Tom Patterson, director of the Utah Department of Corrections.
Anderson, 60, a 22-year-veteran, was shot in the head, authorities said.
Allgier forced two people out of a Ford Explorer outside the medical center, Brede said; neither was hurt.
Officers chased the SUV at speeds up to 100 mph.
Two Salt Lake City squad cars crashed into each other while trying to cut off Allgier, Brede said, but there were no serious injuries.
Police pursuing Allgier placed tire spikes on Interstate 215, but he still was able to drive several miles before bailing out in the Arby's drive-through lane, police said.
Police did not identify the customer who wrested the gun from Allgier, saying he did not want to be identified.
KUTV said the customer was Eric Fullerton.
"Everybody's calling me a hero. I'm not a hero," he told the TV station.
"I just did what I had to do."

In honor of its rich Mexican heritage, Nebraska's South Omaha Latino community has been hosting Cinco de Mayo events in Omaha for decades, dating back to the early 1970s. Annual festivities include a grand parade, delicious food and lively music—it's a tradition that gleams of prideful community spirit.
The mission of Cinco de Mayo Omaha is to promote Mexican culture and bring awareness to South Omaha businesses and organizations while raising funds for local nonprofit groups.
Outside of Mexico, Cinco de Mayo (translated: the fifth of May) is often mistakenly interpreted as Mexico's Independence Day and equivalent to the U.S.'s Fourth of July holiday. September 16 is actually Mexico's Independence Day that launched the war to win Mexico freedom from Spain's rule.
Cinco de Mayo's roots begin in 1862. After being an independent nation for more than 40 years and enduring a series of external and internal conflicts, Mexico was heavily in debt to Spain, England and France. France was attempting to expand its empire and claimed the outstanding debt as justification to send troops to capture Mexico City and seize rule of Mexico.
A well-outfitted French army of 6,500 soldiers landed on the gulf coast of Mexico and began marching toward Mexico City. On May 5, 1862, they were met in Puebla and defeated by Mexican General Ignacio Zaragoza and a poorly-armed but courageous band of 4,500 Mexican soldiers. Although the French later returned with thousands of additional troops and even gained control of Mexico for a short period of time, the victory at the battle of Puebla continues to hold special significance in Mexican history.
See the trailer for a Cinco de Mayo movie here:
Today, Cinco de Mayo is enthusiastically celebrated throughout U.S. cities across the country, making it one of the biggest ethnic celebrations of the year.

Scandals Test U.S.-China Relationship
By editor
Originally published on Tue May 1, 2012 1:31 pm
Secretary of State Hilary Clinton and Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner's China visit comes at a fragile moment in diplomatic relations. Some analysts describe the Chen Guangcheng and Bo Xilai incidents as a "perfect storm" that will test the relationship between the U.S. and China.

After School Center report 5/14/12: The ASC currently has 78 children enrolled, with 80 children enrolled for next school year. We were able to pay off the van in January. Currently we want to give the church $4200, $2200 for church apportionments and $2000 to South Harbor Shelter. The summer program will begin May 29th with 11 staff and 50 kids. Children's Ministry Report May 14, 2012 A Shrove Tuesday celebration was hosted by Children's Ministry. It was lots of fun and everyone enjoyed themselves with lots of green, purple, yellow pancakes with all the trimmings. Wednesday Night (The Spring) for the children "Something Sweet for the Soul." The children learned Bible stories and made desserts that went along with the lessons. Easter Egg Hunt at Lake Fleta was a great success. Thank you to Mr. and Mrs. James McElroy for sharing their beautiful lake with everyone every year. Also, "Thank you" to Ken LaBruyere, Brian Smith (cookers) and the many hands that helped make it a wonderful and fun day for all. The children sang on Palm Sunday. Sunday Night Live (SNL) activities still on going until May 20th. The SNL curriculum "Bible Black Belt…Scripture with a Kick!" The children are expose to music, Bible lessons, and scriptures where they must learn Bible verses and the Bible Black Belt Pledge to earn the highest belt which is the BLACK BELT. The children will be singing on Mother's Day during both worship and we will honor ALL WOMEN OF FAITH. Sunday School: Children are learning about the Heroes of the Bible. They are also collecting can food for Souper Bowl Sunday (1st Sunday of the Month). "SAVE THE SHELTER" CHALLENGE! $1O0 already pledge and the children are to match it. Another challenge for the children, an "angel "has pledge to match if they raised their $100.00. God Is Good! All the Time! UPCOMING EVENTS: May 20 SNL Celebration Water Sunday 4pm to 6pm June 17 Father's Day Children singing: both worship July 8-12 VBS! Operation Overboard Dare To Go Deep With God! 5:30pm to 8:30pm Aug Promotion Sunday! 3-Third graders receiving Bible 6-Moving to the Youth Respectfully submitted, Malaea Mendiola Extravagant Generosity May 14, 2012 The last meeting we had was 2/15/12 where we discussed Securing the Legacy follow-up. We did not have our entire group meet since the primary goal of the meeting was to work on FFF STL follow-up rather than our usual role of talking about stewardship in a general sense. We discussed letters that were sent out in late March to all members, and the home visits to be scheduled. Following that meeting several home meetings were scheduled for new members, and invitations were sent. Those meetings are now completed. They included the showing of a new video explaining the improvements that were made to the building and a time to ask questions. Members of our group volunteered to attend the meetings to answer any questions that might come up. Pledge cards were handed out in the home meetings to families who had not previously been a part of the capital campaign, and were also mailed to those families who were a part of the campaign before. Cards were turned in the first Sunday in May, including 6 from members who did not pledge last time. We are working on the best method of contacting those families who did not return a card, but wanted to wait another Sunday to give time for those who may have been gone for one reason or another on first Sunday. At the meeting in February we also discussed stewardship and offering a class for covering finances since that is our only item we had committed to that has not been covered in the last few rounds of Wednesday night classes. Debbie Young, Larry Hilliard, Ron St. John, Jennifer St. John and Grady Coleman were in attendance. Passionate Worship Report May 14, 2012 The Passionate Worship committee met on April 22. Items acted upon: 1. June will have regular services 2. Rev Dr. Nancy Warner will preach June 10 while the Rev's Hilliards are attending Annual Conference 3. June 17 we will commission our Honduras Missionaries 4. July will have one service with a new start time. Sunday School at 9 and Worship at 10 5. July 1 a church picnic event to be coordinated with Radical Hospitality 6. August 5 Homecoming followed by covered dish, again to be coordinated with Radical Hospitality 7. Nov 4 is All Saints Sunday 8. We will order Poinsettias from the Baddour Center again this year. There was discussion about the music in worship and we agreed how blessed we are to have so many talented people who are willing to use their gifts to glorify God. The issue of the choir not being able to hear the sermon was brought up. It has been addressed and seems to be fixed. Grace and Peace, Larry H. Hilliard RISK-TAKING MISSION May 14, 2012 Cemetery Clean-Up Since the cemetery has been designated as an historic site, the county has been allowed to use county workers and inmate help to finish cleaning off the site and keep it maintained. Care Lodge Health Kits for Care Lodge is an on-going project with reminders appearing regularly in the bulletin and newsletter. Spring Festival Our Spring Festival was April 28 with proceeds designated for our pledge of $5000 for a Habitat home to be built in the fall. Love's Kitchen We had supper and worship at Love's Kitchen on December 14. Music was provided by our Adult Handbell Choir. We also now have at least 2 church members volunteering by serving meals at the kitchen on a regular basis. Mission Trips Preparations are underway for a mission trip to Honduras in June. Second Helping Offerings This year we have been taking up a special offering on the second Sunday of each month with the money going to a different designated mission each month. This has been very successful. Ongoing mission opportunities Several teams from the congregation run Meals on Wheels routes daily. The May circle visits East Mississippi State Hospital. The Daydreamers regularly entertain the residents at Silverleaf Manor. UM W circles take goodie bags to the local hospital ICU waiting areas monthly. Several members have already started on a new project which is crocheting sleeping mats out of plastic bags for the homeless. Directions will be included in upcoming newsletters. Luggage Collected for foster children. Risk-taking Missions and Service Leaders Ginny Adkins and CB Hales TRUSTEES REPORT May 14, 2012 The Poplar Springs UMC trustees meet April 21st with all members present except Weeks and Parker. Amy White read the minutes of the last meeting. She also represents the trustees on the Finance committee. Glen Pittman is Vice Chairman of the trustees. The old church van has not been sold but has been advertised. Larry Hilliard stated that he would notify the churches in the Meridian district to see if any of them were interested in purchasing. The parking lot east of the church was cleaned up in March by four church members. Painting of the Sunday School rooms during Spring Break did not materialize but May 24-25 was set as new dates to paint with Toby Bates coordinating the efforts. Larry Pupa is inventorying by film the church properties. The church lawn has been fertilized and will get a treatment for chinch bugs in May. The kudzu has been sprayed twice, once in March and once in April to keep it off the parking lot. Larry Hilliard is to contact Miss. Power Company regarding the conducting of an energy audit of the church. Larry Hilliard stated that he would write a company representative regarding the Carillon which needs to be re-installed. Minnie Bryan and Glen Pittman will serve on the committee to visit and inspect the parsonage. Bobby Sims will head up the church grounds committee. The curb at the storm drain on the east side of the church has been repaired by the city. Zach, church maintenance man stated that the air conditioner for the kitchen did not work. The trustees suggested that he call the Service Company and let them check the problem. The next meeting for the trustees was set for Monday night, May 21 at 6:30 p.m at which time a discussion will be held regarding the possibility of setting a usage fee for the CAC. Bobby Sims, Trustees Chair United Methodist Women May 2012 Poplar Springs Drive United Methodist Church The United Methodist Women have 41 active members. We continue our ministry to home bound members that we sponsor by visiting and sending card with regularity. This calendar year we will contribute $1375 to the General Board of Global Ministries of the United Methodist Church and $160 to Wesley House. In addition we will send $108 for the Frances Perry Scholarship Fund for ministerial students and $54 to Rust College Scholarship Fund. We recently donated $200 to our Church to be used for the expenses of Health Kits for Care Lodge and South Harbor Shelter. In 2011 and early 2012 eighteen members completed the recommended 4 hour Mission Study "Joy to the World." In 2012 thirty-two members completed the 4 hour recommended Spiritual Growth Study "The Journey: Forgiveness and Reconciliation." In February 2012 a program used for the Call to Prayer and Self Denial Service was entitled "A Time for Change." As a result $68 was collected to give to the General Board of Global Mission of the United Methodist Church. In April two members attended and helped with refreshments at the Meridian District Spiritual Life Retreat held at the District Office facility. In May 2012 a five hour Spiritual Retreat was helped in the home of one of our members. Sixteen were in attendance and brought cans of spaghetti sauce to give to Love's Kitchen. The food responsibilities were shared by all of the members in attendance. Linda Jones from South Harbor Shelter was the guest speaker. Linda shared several needs including volunteers to pack boxes for a certified feeding program. Several volunteered. An original skit was performed by members. The message, while entertaining, had a deeper meaning based on Biblical passages. Rev. Kathy Price concluded the retreat with a message on the CPR of Prayer. Emma Atkinson, President UMW 2012 Youth Ministry Report May 14, 2012 PSDUMC youth group has changed so much in the last year. We lost many strong leaders and have also gained so many. Our junior high has been a strong group this year and has brought a lot of creative ideas and excitement. Our students recently completed the 30 hour famine and raised over $1000.00 to help save the lives of many children in impoverished nations. Youth led worship is this coming Sunday and we will be graduating out 4 Seniors: Katie Lee, Gage Neal, Pieter Both, and Joey Bates. They will be missed but I'm excited about another 5 that will be coming up in August. For the summer our students will be involved with local missions including "Save The Shelter". We will also continue to have youth on Sunday evenings and Wednesday's during the summer, along with a Tuesday morning Bible Study time. Our Junior high is attending Camp Wesley pines this year, so be sure to come to our fundraiser May 30th... the Womanless Beauty Pageant. Young Adult Report The Young Adult Sunday school class has doubled this year. Not only have they been involved with local missions and international mission in the church, but they have also opened up some new activities, such as basketball. We have a young women's group that meets every other Tuesday, and several other fun activities through the month. We took a trip to Gatlinburg in March which was the first young adult trip we have been able to take for the last several years. The good news is... it doesn't stop there. We have 6 new young adults who are interested in being apart. This is an awesome year of growth for our church. -- Shelby Brown Director of Youth Ministries/Young Adult Ministries

Annie Dillard was a contributing editor to Harper's Magazine from 1973 to 1985, with a brief hiatus in 1982.
Dillard's first contribution to Harper's was sent to the editors as an unsolicited manuscript. "Monster in a Mason Jar: The lethal liturgy of the praying mantis" (August 1973) was the first of four excerpts from Pilgrim at Tinker Creek (1974) to appear in the magazine. The book was published by Harper's Magazine Press in 1974, when Dillard was twenty-nine, and won the Pulitzer Prize for General Nonfiction in the same year. "Pilgrim is really a book of theology," Dillard told an editor at the magazine in 1974. "It's the result of one year's walking around and thinking about what kind of god gave us this kind of world. I decided that it must have been a very carefree, exuberant one, saying 'Here, have a tulip! Have a beetle! Have another beetle!'"
Dillard's first book was the poetry collection Tickets for a Prayer Wheel (1974). Among her nonfiction works are Living by Fiction (1982); Teaching a Stone to Talk (1982); An American Childhood (1987), which was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award; and For the Time Being (1999), an excerpt of which appeared in the January 1988 issue of the magazine. Dillard also wrote two novels: The Living (1992), excerpts of which were published in the November 1978 and August 1991 issues, and The Maytrees (2007), which was a finalist for the PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction.
Dillard taught at Wesleyan University from 1979 to 2000. She serves on the usage panel of the American Heritage Dictionary, and paints.

Acreage of a Christian nudist colony under development in Florida:
Continuing Care, Inc. (Venice, Fla.)
Florida's wildlife officials decided to remove the manatee, which has a mild taste that readily adapts to recipes for beef, from the state's endangered-species list.
A 64-year-old mother and her 44-year-old son were arrested for running a gang that stole more than $100,000 worth of toothbrushes from Publix, Walmart, Walgreens, and CVS stores in Florida.

Guys, get on spotify!
I like these guys but releasing your music on exclusively on Vinyl is just dumb. Its 2012, get it on Itunes so people can listen to your music.
Download Fin's "Where Are You Now" for FREE on Biggestlabelever.com and support nonprofit INVISIBLE CHILDREN in the process.
Also, you can learn why they chose to support THE RESCUE by visiting their profile at Causecast.org.
The "Life Is Wasted..." Fin has a period at the end (fiN.) and should be tagged as such. Their last.fm page has this song and another as full tracks as well.
Hey just heard your song "This is my heart" - really good. Might be a hit eh? Great hook in your chorus. Nice work.

"Loved It"
This was a great listening book. It was very cleverly written and very enjoyable!
"Very tough to get through!"
Although I have always had a rule that I never give up on a book before I finish it, this one was tough. The narrator was abominable! She tries so hard to have good diction that she sounds like an automaton. Then, when she does use emphasis, it is usually inappropriate. The narrator ruined the story.
"This is a great story with fabulous narration."
This book was so enjoyable! The various narrators made it especially fun to listen to, with their Southern accents.
"a boring listen"
Unless you have been to Belize, this book is terribly boring. In addition, the narrator has very little tonal inflection and sounds more like a robot than a human.

Female impersonation need say nothing about sexual identity, but it has for a long time been almost an institutionalized aspect of gay male culture.
Although sparse in images documenting the gay community, pre-Stonewall gay male photography blurs the boundaries between art, erotica, and social history.
Given the historic stigma around making, circulating, and possessing overtly homoerotic images, the visual arts have been especially important for providing a socially sanctioned arena for depicting the naked male body and suggesting homoerotic desire.
Independent films that aggressively assert homosexual identity and queer culture, the New Queer Cinema can be seen as the culmination of several developments in American cinema.
Renowned photographer, teacher, critic, editor, and curator, Minor White created some of the most interesting photographs of male nudes of the second half of the twentieth century, but did not exhibit them for fear of scandal.
The first international fashion superstar, Halston dressed and befriended some of America's most glamorous women.
An artistic movement that grew out of Dadaism and flourished in Europe shortly after World War I, Surrealism embraced the idea that art was an expression of the subconscious.
Film, stage, and television actor Paul Winfield was openly gay in his private life, but maintained public silence about his homosexuality.
When I reported that on March 12, 2014 Judith Levy was confirmed to a seat on on the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, I noted not only that she would become the first openly gay federal judge in Michigan but that from 1996 to 1999, she served as a law clerk to Judge Bernard A. Friedman, who recently invalidated Michigan's ban on same-sex marriage in the case of DeBoer v. Snyder. An interesting article in the Detroit Free Press offers more information about Judge Levy and her relationship with Judge Friedman.
In his article, Brian Dickerson offers a full profile of Judge Levy, including the fact that she and her long-time partner Janet Johnson were recently married in a civil ceremony in Washington, D.C. The couple are parents to three children.
When Levy, then a second-year law student at the University of Michigan, first met Friedman in 1995, he had already tapped her to become his clerk upon her graduation. She had been invited to lunch with her future boss, and she called him to let him know that she was pregnant. During the application process, she had strongly hinted that she was a lesbian, but she feared that he might be shocked or at least bewildered if she showed up for lunch without preparing her boss for her appearance.
Despite whatever trepidations Levy may have had about her boss' reaction to her pregnancy, they proved baseless. As Dickerson writes, "It had never occurred to him that his single, lesbian clerk might be planning a family. But Friedman, who had served as a district court judge in Southfield before joining the U.S. District Court, was proud of his reputation as a boss who put his family first and encouraged his staff to do the same. And though he'd never met the partner Levy called J.J., he was determined to treat the couple and the child they had decided to raise together the same way he treated his other employees' families."
During her time working for Friedman, she not only gave birth to her first child but also to twins.
Levy was the first openly gay person Judge Friedman and his staff had worked with. The fact that she and her partner were raising an infant made her seem that much more exotic. Levy freely shared details of how she and Johnson were planning to build their family through the use of artificial reproductive technology. She and Johnson, who is African American, hoped to conceive biracial children who bore physical resemblances to both women.
Their twins were born during the middle of Levy's clerkship and the pregnancy became a "landmark event" in Judge Friedman's chambers.
Dickerson quotes Michael Steinberg, a lawyer who knows Friedman and Levy well, as saying that the judge took a special interest in Levy's growing family. "He became more than a casual friend to them," Steinberg says. "It's almost like he's their grandfather."
There is no question that Judge Friedman's ruling was based solidly on the law and the evidence. It is not a result of his personal friendships. Still, it is an axiom that as straight people come to know gay people personally, they resist the popular misconceptions and stereotypes. They are certainly less susceptible to the caricatures of gay people that are frequently offered by opponents of equal rights.
In reading Dickerson's article, I was reminded of an observation Linda Greenhouse of the New York Times made some time ago about how "webs of personal association and experience have led the [Supreme Court] justices to see old problems in new ways." In 1986, when Justice Lewis Powell cast a vote to uphold sodomy laws in Bowers v. Hardwick, a vote he later regretted, he subsequently remarked that he had never known a gay person. Ironically, he made that statement to a clerk who was himself a closeted gay man.
By the time the Supreme Court reversed Bowers v. Hardwick in the 2003 decision in Lawrence v. Texas, the world had changed. As Greenhouse observed, the Court itself had become "a gay-friendly workplace where employees feel sufficiently comfortable in their open identity to bring their partners to court functions."
As Dale Carpenter reports in Flagrant Conduct, his indispensable history of Lawrence v. Texas, gay-rights advocates received a boost of confidence when, on the day of oral argument at the Supreme Court, someone in the audience whispered to the lead attorney that Justice Sandra Day O'Connor--one of two swing voters on the Court--had recently sent a baby gift to a former clerk and her same-sex partner.
In other words, coming out is important not only for individual happiness but also in changing the hearts and minds of others.

- Stand Out
Original Music Campaign
- With every release of a new song onto the music scene, a cover version, remix or sample version of that song is the released of that same song. This then causes confusion to the public as to where the song originated from and who the original artist was.
The 'STAND OUT' campaign uses the bright colours Yellow, Magenta and Cyan throughout, overlaying the three to create a fuzzy and distorted effect which represents this confusion whilst also enabling the campaign to 'Stand out' and grab the publics attention as they pass by.
The overlaying effect is used throughout the campaign as it is not only confusing but also memorable. This intention along with the strap-line; 'Clear the confusion, listen to original music' allows the message of the campaign to be taken in by the public.
On board two there is a moving poster application, whereby the logo is continuously scrolled by. The logo is enlarged so that only part of it is shown at a time, creating a flash of colour which is intended on catching the attention of public passing by.
Board three showcases a billboard poster campaign that lasts over a period of three weeks. Each week a new coloured word (describing original music) is overlayed onto the last to build up another eye-catching display.
The campaign does not set out to discredit unoriginal music, instead it chooses to showcase original music in a more positive way.

Q&A: Ease the doctor-staff tension
"Strong words!" says Veterinary Economics Editorial Advisory Board member Shawn McVey, CEO of Innovative Veterinary Management Solutions in Phoenix, Ariz. Hopefully the receptionist doesn't really hate you, but tension between new doctors and veteran team members is not unusual. Fortunately, it doesn't have to cause a permanent divide between the two of you.
As most practice owners know, the reception team—or, as McVey prefers, the "client service representatives"—can be the key to success for pet owners and other team members. They are the hub of the practice, with most information either coming from them or going through them. So having a good relationship with the receptionist is imperative to your success.
With any conflict, the first step toward resolution is to view the other person's needs as legitimate. Make the first move and approach the receptionist, acknowledging the conflict and your wish to resolve it. Cite a specific example of an interaction that made you feel "hated," and ask for the receptionist's interpretation of events. If you find that this exchange leads in a positive direction, commit right then and there to resolving the issue. Follow up two weeks later to ensure the problem has actually been solved.

Janata Party President Subramanian Swamy on Tuesday demanded that the 2G Spectrum allocation be cancelled and an auction similar to that in 3G be held.
Mr. Swamy also asked the Government to grant him permission to bring charges against Union Telecom Minister A. Raja for alleged corruption in 2G Spectrum allocation, before the Delhi High Court hears his petition on May 18.
He took exception to Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi's remark that Raja was being targeted by "dominant forces" as he is a Dalit.
"When I was pursuing corruption cases against former Karnataka Chief Minister Ramakrishna Hegde and former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Ms. Jayalalithaa, Mr. Karunanidhi praised me," Mr. Swamy said in a statement here.

I think this method is an interesting one. This method motivates students to work harder because this instills confidence which I think is a huge problem with at risk students. In fact, I don't believe that there is a relationship between IQ and being a successful college student. As an academic advisor at a university with a somewhat open admission policy, I've seen students with 8th grade reading skills successfully recieve degrees while taking difficult courses. It took them hours in the tutoring lab and hours worth of encouragement but they did it. I think anything that heightens a students confidence is definetly a good thing.

Gamescom 2012: English Trailer For The Crazy PS3 Survival Game Tokyo Jungle
Posted on August 14, 2012 AT 04:05pm
It's a simple question: What happens to man's best friend when man doesn't exist? Enter the world of Tokyo Jungle, where animals battle one another for survival in post-apocalyptic Tokyo.
In what could be one of the craziest adventure games to come along in years, players will choose their favorite type of animal—everything from left-behind lapdogs or house cats, to savage beasts who escaped from Tokyo's zoo—and then struggle to survive after the fall of mankind. Hunt prey, find a mate, bare offspring, battle other animals, search for the secret to why humans disappeared, and find clothing to dress up in to make yourself more fashionable… yes, really.
Games like Tokyo Jungle are why I love games from Japan folks. You think a Western developer would make something this utterly insane?
Tokyo Jungle will be coming to all us English-speaking PS3 owners in the West—we just aren't 100% sure yet when that'll be happening.

Tech N9ne's record label is called Strange Music, a name that fits like a glove. From his beats to his lyrical style to his appearance, the Kansas City-based hip-hopper is simply an unusual guy. Last time Tech came through Phoenix, local photographer Ben Garcia caught a shot of Tech that the rapper said was one of his favorites because it captured his emotion at the time — a cross between a monster and a superhero. It was definitely an apt self-analysis. Perhaps his superpower is his trademark lightning-quick delivery of his lyrics or his uncanny ability to get a show poppin'. Given his reputation for raucous shows, there is no reason to think Tech N9ne will do anything less than captivate at his early summer date in Tempe. The Valley may not be known for fanatical hip-hop fans, but Tech N9ne is one of the acts that captures the attention of a wide range of music fans, from rap to horrorcore to metal. Even Juggalos get down in the "Thug Pit" when Tech N9ne is in town. That's not to say his brand of strange music doesn't resonate with more traditional hip-hop heads, but Tech just makes a particular sound that touches a certain type of freak, making the crowd at his shows one of the most eclectic collections of music fans around.

These tests were both fine. I have had a MRI done and the glands did have some infection. I developed very bad vertigo. I started seeing a chiropractor and it has gotten better. The antibiotics depleted me of the good bacteria and I developed chronic constipation accompanied with unbearable back pain. I have a colonoscopy scheduled for today however I am so tired of feeling tired and in pain. The swollen glands and the pain are my main concern. Please help As Soon As Possible.

We spent last week at this hotel in Lipari. The hotel is nicely situated. It is a few minutes away (walking) from the points of departure of various ports and also very close to restaurants and shops. They served a very nice breakfast in the morning which included a variety of meats, some egg (usually scrambled), cheeses, breads, pastries and croissants. They would bring you fresh cappuccinos in the morning on request as well.
The hotel staff was both courteous and friendly, and although some of them didn't speak English well, it was never an issue. We had requested a quad room for my wife and two kids and the space was somewhat limited, as is typical of most hotels in Italy. However, once you got used to it, everything we needed was there. The only negative was the lack of an iron in the entire hotel. Since I was giving research seminars it would have been nice to have crisply ironed shirts but it worked out okay.
The hotel also has a nice swimming pool which my kids enjoyed quite a bit. This is a nice boutique type hotel with good value, excellent service, and of course the aeolian islands are a wonderful place to visit.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Among the multi-coloured Aeolian houses of Lipari's historic centre stands a romantic little cluster of three buildings: the Grand Hotel Arciduca, named in honour of Louis Salvator, Archduke of Austria. The Hapsburgs' opulence combines with Sicilian styles from the end of the 19th century to create a summer palace. The bedrooms are elegant, public areas are warm and welcoming and the service is excellent. The restaurant terrace overlooks the heated swimming-pool with its hydromassage, set among the colours and perfumes of Mediterranean shrubs. A sun terrace, a gym and a games room complete the ideal setting for a holiday on Lipari. Just a few steps away is the square of Marina Corta, by the fishermen's port and the hydrofoil dock. The little beach of Portinente is a two-minute walk and the colourful little shops and boutiques in the town centre can be reached in a couple of minutes more. Those in search of culture, on the other hand, have only a 5-minute walk to reach Lipari's Castle, which has a museum and an archaeological garden, and the Cathedral with its cloister. ... more less
