Wendi C. Thomas: No bliss ignoring the risk of HIV
Planned Parenthood health educator Jennifer Warren thought she was getting punked.
A 19-year-old gay man from rural Arkansas came in, and asked what HIV was.
"I looked around the room for cameras," Warren recalled. "I was like, 'Is someone testing me?' But he was very serious and honest."
And this wasn't back in 1998, when Warren began working in the field of HIV/AIDS education. This was a few weeks ago.
Nothing like an adult unfamiliar with HIV to remind us of the importance of Friday, National HIV Testing Day.
Planned Parenthood Greater Memphis Region will offer free testing from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday at Memphis Towers, 1081 Court.
The testing is confidential, and results from the mouth-swab test are available in about 30 minutes.
It's been nearly 30 years since what was then called Gay-Related-Immune Deficiency was identified and by 2006, 1.1 million Americans were living with AIDS.
Once seen as a death sentence, people can now, with the advent of drug cocktails, live decades with the disease, as if it were a chronic illness.
But, Warren said, AIDS remains deadly and is still preventable, a point she stresses in her outreach.
It's getting harder to convince people of the urgency, that knowing your HIV status is better than not knowing, that this is still a serious problem.
"A lot of times," said Warren, "we think ignorance is bliss. (People say) 'I'll live longer and happier not knowing.' "
People are quick, Warren has found, to point to basketball great Magic Johnson, who went public with his HIV positive status in 1991 -- and how healthy he appears -- and assume being HIV positive is no big deal.
But if you are HIV positive and delay finding out, the virus could progress into full-blown AIDS, which is much more difficult to treat.
What was a disease thought to be exclusive to gay men has shifted, in Memphis and Shelby County, to a virus that affects black men and women most.
The number of HIV infections locally has climbed steadily over the last five years.
Of the 473 cases reported in 2007, according to the Health Department, 280 were black men and 33 were white men, six were white women and 153 were black women. The number of Latinos diagnosed was so low as to be considered statistically insignificant.
"That means that 96 percent of the women who were diagnosed were black, and the vast majority of them are of child-bearing age," said Joan Carr, Planned Parenthood's director of community affairs.
HIV/AIDS diagnoses are up 32 percent among black women since 2003, while the infection rate among white men and women has remained essentially flat.
And of those diagnosed locally in 2007, 23 percent were between the ages of 15-24.
Young or black or both, and at risk -- but we don't have to be.
Abstinence is the only 100 percent guarantee, but safer sex and not trading IV drug needles reduces the risk.
The test: Free. Knowing your status so you're not putting others at risk: Priceless.
Contact Wendi C. Thomas at 529-5896 or e-mail email@example.com.
Free testing
Planned Parenthood Greater Memphis Region will offer free HIV/AIDS testing from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday at Memphis Towers, 1081 Court.

Prospective Students | Class Registration
Call Us At: 1-909-558-1000
by Stephen Vodhanel, PhD
Based on recent Money magazine story, "The 50 Best Jobs in America," college professor ranks number 3, while pharmacist ranks number 13.
According the U. S. Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of pharmacists is expected to increase by twenty-five percent from 2010 to 2020, faster than the average for all occupations.
Several factors for the expected increase for pharmacists are scientific advances leading to new drugs and drug delivery, expanding insurance coverage for medications, the aging of the population, and an increase in the complexity of healthcare management.
While employment statistics for college professors are slightly lower than for pharmacists, the profession has long been known as a highly rewarding career. Some of the job perks for college professors are flexible schedules, research time, ample time off during holiday breaks, and the personal rewards of teaching others in a field which one is passionate about.
Considering many of the facts of both professions, a career choice of pharmacy professor just might be a wise decision or just might offer the best of both worlds.
According to the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP), the shortage of pharmacy faculty around the nation has remained high for several years, and the future growth of pharmacy education is expected to create even more demand.
"The shortage of pharmacy faculty, now and in the future, represents a serious public health threat in the face of the rapidly growing consumer demand for prescription drugs," said Lucinda Maine, executive vice president of AACP.
In a 2009 report prepared by the American Pharmacists Association and the American Society of Health-system Pharmacists, faculty recruitment and retention has been identified as one of the top issues and challenges of colleges and schools of pharmacy. According to this report, in the 2008-2009 academic year, only 52% of open faculty positions were filled.
At pharmacy conferences and professional events throughout the nation, faculty shortages is often a topic of discussion.
"I personally know this to be true," says Rashid Mosavin, Ph.D., MBA, associate dean of the School of Pharmacy. "At pharmacy conferences around the nation, it is quite common, when meeting a dean or associate dean from another school, for the discussion to turn to various open faculty positions that remain empty. It seems at any given time there are three or more open faculty positions at any of the 125 or so schools of pharmacy across the nation."
For many pharmacists, the lure of a college professorship has to do with sharing a wealth of knowledge to the next generation of pharmacists, while giving back to the profession that has given so much to them. For a pharmacist, returning to school very often leads to a great and rewarding career.

The following is an archive of a post made to our
'vox mailing list'
by one of its subscribers.
I'm going to e-mail our current lineup of unscheduled speakers, but just
in case we can't pin any of them down, we'll need someone to give a
presentation or demo at the December 4th meeting.
Also, I'm hoping to demo the new Sharp Zaurus PDA on December 17th.
I'd love to be able to hook a cam-corder up to the projector, like I did
last April with the Agenda PDA.
Stephen, can we borrow yours? :)
(yours or your's? hmm)

text: It's promising to be a week of milestones for Canalside. As it prepares to host its third World Cup Soccer viewing party, Canalside should be finishing the installation of one of three planned pedestrian bridges spanning replica Erie Canal waterways this week. Canal construction itself should be completed by this fall. That's timed to coincide with the opening of the Buffalo Sabres' HarborCenter building. A big changeover in the local advertising field. The Martin Group has acquired Travers Collins. No terms of that deal were made public. The Martin Group will take on some Travers Collins staffers as it evaluates its needs. Business First reports that downtown Buffalo landlords and developers have started courting the Nixon Peabody LLP law firm. Nixon Peabody has begun looking for new offices within the central business district, but has not ruled out remaining in Key Center. Unicell Body Co. Inc., a manufacturer of one-piece fiberglass truck bodies, will be making them for Ford Motor Co.'s line of 2015 Transit vans. Unicell has been in Buffalo 35 years. It has been working with Ford for more than 32.

Dr. Doug's FAQs: ASU recruits, Fantasy Football and how to get Doug to block you
E-mail or tweet me your questions and every Wednesday I'll answer the best.
This week we start with Nick, who gives me an ASU recruiting update. There's just one thing: I don't care. There's nothing more boring in sports than recruiting to cover. Sure, your success as a program is deeply dependent on recruiting, but I'm not going to waste my time covering it. Kids change their minds and back out of oral commitments. If they leave your program, the kid has no morals. If the kid switches his commitment to your program, your coaches just out-worked the other schools. It's all crap. When recruiting is over, I'll watch some film on each kid and get to know them then.
If ASU fans really care about recruiting, buy tickets to the game and show high school kids an environment that rivals other major programs.
Rob asks me a fantasy football question. I don't mock those that play but I could never do it. I'm too competitive and would spend my whole life worried about my fantasy team. Having said that, I would not keep Michael Floyd now that Jonathan Cooper is hurt. I think it will take a few games for this offense to succeed.
Paradoxal's tweet is in response to my tweet about Michael Beasley. I said, "I wish someone at work would pay me $7 million dollars to go away. We're all in the wrong business." Amazing that Beasley is only 24 years old. Very few people in America have failed so mightily after being given so much.
Merrick fell into the Tim Tebow trap. He said "review" in his tweet but then tweeted an update saying he meant Tebow. Merrick, you can't use Heisman Trophy winners as the baseline. When you complain about Tebow not making a team, you're declaring you know more than 32 NFL GMs. Face it, Tebow lovers: It's exactly as I told you. Love the man but don't pay the player.
And then there is Tom...I'll let the video speak to my feelings about that.

Understanding Your Insurance Rights
Insurance -- life, health, and disability -- is one area that changes greatly once you have a baby. Young single people and even married couples may take a set-it-and-forget-it attitude toward insurance coverage. But once you become a family, you need to reexamine your insurance arrangements to be sure they suit your new needs. Here are some guidelines for making sure that your family is properly covered.

West mourns neighbor who was a friend to all
Daughter begged him not to go to scene of blast

Dusty Uptmor, daughter of victim Buck Uptmor, cries as she talks about her father on Friday in West.

Vehicles line up to drop off donations of food and clothing on Friday outside of the fairgrounds in West. So many donations have come in from individuals across the state and from local companies such as Brookshire Brothers, H-E-B and Wal-Mart that another warehouse might be needed to store the goods.

An unidentified woman weeps Friday after emerging from the West Community Center, where an update meeting for evacuees has just been held.
WEST — Buck Uptmor was the guy in West you called when your truck was stuck in a ditch or had a flat tire. Anytime you needed an extra hand, the father of three was there.
So when a friend called asking for his help Wednesday night as a fire began to spread from the town's fertilizer plant, the 45-year-old fence contractor rushed to the scene. He was not a firefighter or an EMT, but that didn't matter to him - or anyone else. This is a small town. People pitch in.
Uptmor's 18-year-old daughter, Dusty, was at the house when he got the call. She went outside and saw the flames shooting into the evening sky from the West Fertilizer Co. several miles away. Watching him drive away, she had a bad feeling and picked up the phone.
"Please don't go," she said when he answered. "You're going to get hurt."
"It's all going to be OK, baby," he told her. "I love you."
Minutes later came the explosion at the West Fertilizer Co. It rocked the town and was felt for miles, unleashing chaos among the 2,800 or so residents who were left wondering if their missing loved ones had survived. For Dusty and other relatives of those who had gone to put out the fire, panic set in.
Family's long wait
Officials on Friday confirmed there were at least 14 fatalities, an unspecified number of missing and more than 200 injured. Some of the fallen included West Volunteer firefighters and other first responders.
But on the night of the explosion, nobody knew anything. Uptmor's wife, Arcy, and his sister Bethany Raines, both registered nurses, went as close to the scene as possible to look for clues as to Buck's whereabouts. Thrown into the chaos, they ended up tending to the injured, wondering if perhaps they might come across him. No luck.
So his family was left to wait in the packed hospital waiting room until the early hours of Thursday morning, praying they might hear his name as hospital officials read off identities of the injured. No luck.
Eventually, Uptmor's death was confirmed by a family friend and through a TV news report that morning.
"We all say we wish he hadn't gone, but that wouldn't have been Buck," said his aunt, Joyce Manek. "That was just him."
Uptmor had deep roots in the north central Texas area and lived in West his entire life. He started a fencing company, Uptmor Construction, when he was 15 years old and has run it ever since out of the small town.
The former rodeo bull rider for more than a decade always donned a cowboy hat and was an avid hunter. He taught all his children how to skin a deer.
The family has six horses, several dogs, cows and other animals on their spacious land. There was plenty of room for Dusty and her brothers, Hunter, 12, and Trevor, 10. The kids liked sports, and Uptmor coached his sons' teams and helped Dusty with her rodeo competitions. She's been a barrel racer since she was 13.
"God must have needed another cowboy in heaven," Manek said.
'Never met a stranger'
Maybe so, but the family he loved and the town that treasured him have one more hole in their hearts with his passing. He would do anything for anybody, his sister said. He treated everyone like a friend.
"He never met a stranger and would just talk and talk," Raines said.
As the family tried to absorb the shock of his death, they pointed to a picture of him in a recent West Fest parade. Sitting in a bathtub atop a float, Uptmor wore his signature cowboy hat and apparently little else.
"Did we mention he had a great sense of humor?" Manek joked. "He was one of those guys that packed a lot of life into every day."

© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
Our history began in 1969, when Annandale Village was just a dream of a dedicated father and mother who wanted their developmentally disabled daughter to have a safe, nurturing environment to grow and thrive.
Since that time, nearly 42 years ago, our passion and commitment to this vision is as strong as ever through the pursuit of our mission: to perpetuate a Village community to provide progressive life assistance to adults with developmental disabilities and traumatic brain injuries so that they can maximize their abilities and maintain their independence in the least restrictive environment.
As I interact with our Villagers on my daily stroll among our 54-acre campus, I am frequently reminded of the significant milestones we have achieved in serving men and women with developmental disabilities. Subsequently, I am also reminded of the generosity of countless individuals and members of the Gwinnett County business community who have helped to provide the financial resources necessary to meet the growing needs of those we are blessed to serve.
Though typically described as "contributions" or "donations," we truly view these gifts as investments in the health of the Annandale community. It is only through the generosity of our faithful donors and friends of Annandale that we have been able to heighten our level of service and expand upon the comprehensive programs and services of Annandale.
This philanthropic spirit will once again be on display at our 18th annual signature event, Annandale's Jazzy Thing. Scheduled for April 30, more than 1,000 community and business leaders will join together for what has become one of the most anticipated and best charitable events in metro Atlanta. For months, our staff and a committee of dedicated volunteers work tirelessly planning, decorating, and preparing for this event that transforms a 35,000-square-foot event space into a tropical Island experience.
Some highlights to expect:
* Authentic Cajun cooks straight from the Louisiana bayou and our local Cajuns will showcase their culinary talents to create a feast that includes shrimp, crawfish, alligator piquant, catfish, grilled chicken.
* Internationally recognized as the official and original Jimmy Buffett Tribute Show, A1A, will play Jimmy Buffett favorites, as well as, some original A1A Trop Rock music, all mixed together in one big Caribbean beach party musical gumbo.
* Guests can test their skills against blackjack, craps and roulette tables. Winnings will be converted into raffle tickets good for prizes. The grand prize is a four-day/three-night trip to New Orleans with accommodations at the Monteleon Hotel and $500 in travel cash.
* The Spicy Bite Challenge will have local restaurants and community organizations vying for the chance to be named "favorite spicy bite." Whether you prefer mild and delicately spiced dishes, "extra hot" or something in between, some of the best hors d'oeuvres in the area will be served.
* A significant portion of the proceeds raised come from the silent auction, featuring exciting items including travel and entertainment packages, resort getaways, sports memorabilia, dining experiences and much more.
Most importantly, the proceeds raised through Annandale's Jazzy Thing help to provide funding for those that would otherwise not be able to access the programs and services of Annandale.
For more information about how you, your company or organization can join in the fun and excitement, please call 770-932-4887 or visit us online at www.annandale.org.
Adam Pomeranz is Chief Executive Officer of Annandale Village.

|What is the best piece of political advice you ever received?
|Always vote your conscience.
|What character trait best serves a public official?
|What character flaw most harms a public official?
|Arrogance. Public officials serve the community, not themselves.
|What is your favorite book (besides a spiritual text)?
|The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros
|What is your favorite place in Arizona?
|My grandmother�s house in Yuma. She is a pillar of our family. Her house is home to the entire family.
|Which Arizona political figure past or present do you most admire and why?
|Barry Goldwater. Everything I�ve read about him indicates that he was a true statesman who put the people he was elected to represent first.
|Why are you running for school board?
|I�ve been passionate about education since I was in high school, when I served on the statewide Student Advisory Board on Education, campaigned for a local bond measure to build new school facilities, advocated for teachers and students at school board meetings and participated in trainings to assess schools for accreditation. As a Tempe Union High School District Governing Board Member, I will be an advocate for parents, teachers and students, collaborate with the community and ensure the district is accountable to the people we serve.
|Describe the top three educational challenges your district will face in the coming school year and explain your strategies to overcome those challenges.
|School Health and Safety. The air quality issues at Corona del Sol must be resolved immediately, and we must restore parents� confidence in the district. In moving forward, we need to invite parents to be a part of the process and welcome the resources that are available to us in our own community.
|Retaining Qualified Teachers. Our students deserve to have the best education. We can provide them with a quality education by hiring and retaining the best qualified teachers. The recent decision by district officials to take away healthcare retirement benefits from the teachers who have been serving the district for decades is an issue we must re-evaluate. We can work with the teachers to find a solution that is meaningful to everyone involved.
|Technology. To prepare our students to compete for 21st century jobs, we need to provide them with the technological tools they need to succeed. The Kyrene School District�s technology program serves as a model for Tempe area schools.
|What spending issues in your district's budget do you challenge and what would you do instead?
|Teachers who have been working for decades to educate our students were promised healthcare benefits when they retired. That�s a promise the district did not keep when they cut those benefits this year. The district reportedly saved $1.3 million, but then spent about the same amount with a 1% salary increase across the board. This action sent a bad message to potential new faculty: when you come to work for a Tempe Union school, we�ll promise one thing, but we can�t guarantee we�ll be able to deliver. Recognizing that the costs of healthcare benefits continue to rise, the district needed to take some sort of action. However, the district should have phased out the healthcare retirement benefits for new employees to cut that cost while keeping our promise to our strongest, longest-serving faculty members.
|While school districts cannot advocate an override, what can be done to help market an override for districts that have had recent defeats?
|This is where collaboration is critical. Districts should unite with community members, parents and students to educate voters and form campaign committees to advocate for the override.
|What effect has the emphasis placed on high results on the AIMS test had on your district, schools and personnel? Do you think it should be a high school graduation requirement?
|When I walk door-to-door to discuss my campaign, I meet many teachers who tell me that students are missing out on the best quality education as a result of the AIMS test. Educators are being forced to teach to a high-stakes standardized test instead of expanding young minds. We should be preparing our students to succeed in society rather than how to pass a state-mandated exam.
|What role should schools play in issues such as sex education and preventing alcohol/drug abuse and teen suicide?
|Schools should teach responsible, age-appropriate, medically accurate sex education, including information about both abstinence and contraception; engage students in dialogues about the effects of drug and alcohol abuse, and partner with community agencies to address the mental health needs of all students. I really emphasize collaboration here. Schools should partner with local and state resources, whether they are government agencies or nonprofit social service organizations, to help their students succeed in school and live healthy lives.
|Should more schools in your district consider requiring uniforms or more standardized dress? Why or why not?
|There are great arguments on both sides for school uniforms. Any decisions about school uniforms should involve input from parents and students.
|What should your district do if anything to compete with charter schools, private schools and neighboring school districts? What should your district do to boost student enrollment?
|To remain competitive, our district must provide the best education for all students; offer a variety of education opportunities, including advance courses, vocational learning, and extracurricular activities; retain the best qualified teachers; hold ourselves accountable to the students, parents and community members we serve; and openly and honestly communicate with parents and the community.
|Are there any particular programs or programs in the curriculum that you'd like to see changed? Please explain.
|I�d like to see an increase in the use of technology in the classroom. We are serving 21st century students who need a 21st century education to compete in the workplace when they graduate.
|Are you satisfied with the performance of the superintendent and overall district leadership?
|There�s always room for improvement. My priority as a governing board member will be to make sure we ask tough questions of district staff and hold them accountable for their actions, while also acknowledging their strengths are celebrating their achievements.
|Are you satisfied with the technology available to teachers and students in the district? If so, explain. If not, what specific technology would you support?
|We should pursue increased funding opportunities to enhance the technology available to students and staff. More access to more technology will better prepare our students to enter the 21st century workforce.
|How do you feel about year-round schools?
|As a product of schools with both traditional and year-round school schedules, I find strengths in both schedules. Parents should be involved in any decision to change the school schedule.
|Do you feel your district sufficiently communicates with parents and the community? If not, how would you improve that communication? How can you get the community more involved in schools?
|From what I�ve witnessed at Corona del Sol, district officials have a lot of room for improvement when it comes to communicating with parents and the community. I�d like to see each school have a team made up of concerned parents, students, teachers, staff, administrators and other community members who can work collaboratively to find solutions and advise the district on critical matters.
|If redistricting is an issue for your school district on the November ballot, what do you think about the issue? Are you in favor or opposed? Why?
|While I think redistricting is a great idea, I oppose the plan on the November ballot. Proponents of the initiative acknowledge that the current proposal doesn�t allow sufficient time for districts to effectively implement the plan without disrupting school activities. If elected, I will work with parents, community members and district officials to advocate for a redistricting solution that will benefit everyone without negatively affecting the district in the short-term.
|With the closing of the Thomas J. Pappas Schools for the homeless this year, how should districts serve the influx of these students?
|We should provide all of our students with the same opportunities to succeed in school. We should partner with community agencies and the school community to connect students with the resources they need.
|What changes if any do you think should be made to the No Child Left Behind Act? How has NCLB affected your school district?
|I support efforts on the state level to reject NCLB requirements and return control of the classroom to educators, not bureaucrats. We�ve got to put students first. Each student and each classroom have different needs. Teachers need the flexibility to use whatever resources are available to them to help their students learn.
|How long have you lived in the district?
|7 years.
|Do you have children in the district? If so, what schools do they attend and what grades?
|While I do not have children, two of my cousins both recently attended Marcos de Niza High School.

Grilled Spring Lamb Chops with Kentucky Rub and Balsamic Reduction
Grilled Spring Asparagus with Spicy Lemon Mop
Chipotle Twice-Baked Potatoes on the Grill
May is National Barbecue Month, so it's time to fire up the grill and get ready for summer. Fortunately, unlike parts of California, Bernalillo County does not have any air pollution regulations pertaining to smoking or grilling, so we're free to create smoke in our own back yards. What follows is my favorite menu for grilling at this time of the year, and since I spice up nearly everything I grill, these recipes will have heat that you can vary to your own chile desires.
Some people don't like lamb, which is a real mystery to me since it's my favorite meat. So, pork chops can be substituted but you won't need two per person, but rather only one. Grilled pork is medium at 160 degrees F.
To complete the grilled meal, grill banana halves, brush them with butter, sprinkle them with cinnamon and when done, serve them with chocolate ice cream.
Before advances in livestock husbandry made young lamb available all year long, it was especially popular in the spring, when the ewes were born. Still, spring lamb is particularly tender and non-gamy. I'm using a rub popular in Kentucky, where they barbecue the lamb. Finally, the balsamic reduction finishes the grilling. 8 spring lamb chops, thickly cutFor the Kentucky Lamb Rub:2 teaspoons commercial chile powder1 teaspoon ground allspice1 tablespoon garlic powder2 tablespoons ground black pepper1/4 cup brown sugar2 tablespoons dried onionFor the Balsamic Reduction:1 cup balsamic vinegar2 cloves garlic, cut in half2 teaspoons brown sugar2 sprigs fresh rosemaryStart the grill or build a charcoal fire in the grill. Wash and dry the chops.
In a bowl, mix together all the ingredients for the rub. Spread the rub evenly over the lamb chops on both sides.
In a saucepan, combine all the ingredients for the balsamic reduction. Bring to a boil and reduce the heat to a simmer. Simmer for 10 minutes until the sauce thickens, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and remove the garlic and the rosemary.
Grill the chops over a medium fire (150 degrees F. internal temperature for medium-rare). When almost done, brush the chops on both sides with the balsamic reduction. Heat each side of the chops, remove to a platter, and serve.
Yield: 4 servingsHeat Scale: Medium

Mr Bercow met with one complainant, a Westminster worker, who told him Nigel Evans had placed his hand in his boxer shorts while he was asleep at the Ribble Valley MP's home in 2009.
Last April's meeting in the Speaker's study was set up by Tory MP Dr Sarah Wollaston after the complainant confided in her the month before.
A second alleged victim told Dr Wollaston he had been raped by Mr Evans at his Lancashire home last year.
The court heard Mr Bercow agreed "in principle" to also meet the rape complainant but that was cancelled following legal advice - partly because it was said to have taken place outside the parliamentary estate.
In a witness statement read out at Mr Evans's trial at Preston Crown Court, Mr Bercow said he was contacted by Dr Wollaston, the MP for Totnes, who wished to see him on a matter of "some urgency".
He was later told by Dr Wollaston that it had been brought to her attention that two people had said they were raped and sexually assaulted by Mr Evans.
Mr Evans denies one rape, two indecent assaults and six sexual assaults. The trial continues.

"Pie-lette" is the first episode of the first season of the American television comedy-drama Pushing Daisies. The episode aired a day earlier in Canada than the United States.
Ned discovers his gift as a child when he brings his dog, Digby, back to life. When Ned's mother dies, he brings her back to life -- but this kills the father of his childhood sweetheart, Charlotte Charles, whom he likes to call "Chuck". Another touch kills Ned's mother. Both left alone, Ned is sent to boarding school, and Chuck lives with her aunts, the reclusive Lily and Vivian Charles. Ned and Chuck share a first kiss, and are then parted.
Nineteen years, thirty-four weeks, one day and fifty-nine minutes later (according to the narrator), Ned owns a bakery, the Pie Hole. He also moonlights as the partner of Emerson Cod, a private investigator who discovers Ned's secret gift. Emerson realizes that they can turn a profit solving murders by reviving the murder victim and asking who killed them. Meanwhile, Ned's employee and neighbor, Olive Snook, has a crush on the pie maker -- but Ned has learned not to get attached to anybody, and he wards off Olive's advances.
Everything changes when Ned learns that Chuck has been murdered on a cruise ship. He and Emerson travel to Ned's hometown, Coeur d'Coeurs, to solve the case. Ned revives Chuck, and she's thrilled to be reunited with her old friend. She doesn't know who killed her, and Ned only has a minute to return her to the grave. But he can't bear to kill her, and the funeral director, Lawrence Schatz, dies instead. Ned hides Chuck in the coffin, and secretly arranges to rescue her after the funeral. Chuck stays in Ned's apartment -- but despite the romantic feelings that they share, they can't ever touch again.
Chuck is happy to make a fresh start on her life, and she approaches Ned and Emerson with a plan to solve her own murder and collect the reward. They go to Boutique Travel Travel Boutique, where manager Deedee Duffield offered Chuck a free cruise in exchange for transporting a pair of plaster monkeys. When they arrive, Deedee has been killed as well. Ned brings Deedee back to life, but she dies again before telling them who killed her. Ned, Emerson and Chuck realize that if the plaster monkeys were in Chuck's possession on the cruise ship, then they would have been sent to her next of kin -- Aunt Vivian and Aunt Lily.
They go to Vivian and Lily's house, to find the monkeys before the killer does. Ned and Emerson talk to Chuck's aunts, ex-synchronized swimmers with matching social phobias. Chuck has to stay out of sight -- but she's determined to help, and she climbs up the back wall to her bedroom. Lily goes upstairs to collect the monkeys for Ned, and is attacked by the killer. Ned is also attacked, and Chuck rescues him. Lily survives her attack, and shoots the killer dead.
Ned and Chuck discover that the plaster monkeys were actually made of gold. Lily and Vivian collect the reward for catching Chuck's killer, and decide to leave the house for the first time in years. Ned, Chuck and Emerson agree to work together -- but despite their yearnings, Ned and Chuck can never touch again.
Some reviewers also commented on the unique visual nature of the episode; Melanie McFarland of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer described the look of "Pie-lette" as similar to an "intricately illustrated children's book. However, Maureen Ryan, of the Chicago Tribune, felt that director Sonnenfeld's vivid style didn't "leave much room for heart.
Director Barry Sonnenfeld won the 2008 Directors Guild of America award for Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Comedy Series for the episode. Screenwriter Bryan Fuller was also nominated for a 2008 Writers Guild of America Award for Episodic Comedy.

Louisville coach Rick Pitino made a promise to his team during the regular season that if the Cardinals won the NCAA title, he'd get himself a tattoo. Since Pitino is a man of his word, he's holding up his end of the deal. Pitino told CBS, "It will be a cardinal and it will say 2013 champions." As WDRB sports writer Eric Crawford just tweeted out, it will be this cardinal: Mike Marra tells @whas11lefkoe on SportsRadio 790 that Rick Pitino's tattoo will be the old-style dunking Cardinal twitter.com/ericcrawford/s… — Eric Crawford (@ericcrawford) April 16, 2013 The tattoo will be on Pitino's left shoulder.

AT&T and Sprint Tussle About Roaming Rules

Re: what's good for the goose.....
That I understand. But, the range of useful spectrum may vary in certain areas and mot be suitable for their current needs. But, the point I'm making is, ATT has the same issue with some of the spectrum they have, from my understanding yet, everyone bashed them for it. Now, I'm not just talking out the side of my mouth here. This is based on various info I've read on different sites, when this whole thing about the merger was at hand. It's possible that I misunderstood what was being said but, if I'm wrong, I stand corrected. Now, if this is Sprint's issue, I can deal with that. If it's a matter of not having the money yo do it, I can deal with that. But, I'm sorry, I have no understanding to the unwillingness to build out, when they can, despite meeting FCC guidelines. What about going above and beyond to meet customer needs. This goes for all carriers, ATT included.

RV Camping - All The Comforts Away From Home
RV camping locations can be found throughout Pennsylvania. From scenic lake shores and historic parks, to remote mountain and forest locations, there is a great RV camping location waiting for you in Pennsylvania.
Thousands of campsites are available for RV camping at public campgrounds throughout Pennsylvania. The following list of is only an example of the available public RV camping opportunities in Pennsylvania.
Forty-four campsites at have either 30 or 50 amp electric hookups await you at Greenwood Furnace State Park. A washhouse has flush toilets, hot showers and dishwashing sinks. Pets are permitted at designated campsites. Very interesting history of an old ironworking community.
Owned and operated by Exelon Corporation, Muddy Run Recreation Park offers 189 sites - 148 trailer sites with electric and water hookups available and 38 tent sites and 3 primitive group sites. Each site has a picnic table, a charcoal grill, a fire ring, and paved parking pads.
Salt Springs State Park offers rustic RV camping facilities in northeastern Pennsylvania. The park offers towering old growth hemlock trees, many estimated to be over 300 years old, and the rocky gorge cut by Fall Brook with its three waterfalls.
Redbank Valley Municipal Park - Activities for the whole family including tent and RV camping, electric water and sewage hookups, modern facilities with showers, playground, roller skating rink, tennis courts, ball fields, horseshoe pit, and picnic shelters. Seasonal RV camping available.
USFS (US Forest Service) - Describes USFS policies and rules about RV camping. Information about dispersed camping, and tips on how to find great free RV camping sites.
NPS (National Park Service) - General information about RV camping and campgrounds in US National Parks. With campgrounds in the most historic and scenic places in the country, the NPS offers some of the best places for RV camping.
USACE/COE (US Army Corp of Engineers) - USACE (perhaps better know as COE) manages water recreation areas throughout the USA. Information about finding USACE lakes, RV camping possibilities, and rules and policies for use of these water based recreation areas is included.
Here's a list of places to consider when looking for a free overnight RV camping or parking location in Pennsylvania. We always recommend asking for overnight RV parking permission when looking for a free spot to spend the night. The smaller your RV, the better chances you will have finding places to stay if you choose not to ask permission. If you don't ask permission, you end up "sneaking" into places and hoping nobody bothers you or issues you a trespassing ticket before you move on.
Be smart and Be Safe...Ask Permission.
As you can see, there are a lot of free RV camping and parking possibilities in Pennsylvania. If you are not asking permission, it's best to keep a very low profile. If your RV has slide outs, jacks and TV antennas, don't use them so as not to draw attention to yourself. Consider your surroundings carefully and if you feel uncomfortable with the area, move somewhere else.

Rihanna to Get Massive $8-Million Paycheck For Christmas Gig: Report
Rihanna could wake up on Christmas day to find wads of cash under her tree — to the tune of $8 million — according to a report by The Sun. And here we were just hoping not to get a lump of coal.
According to a source, Rihanna could receive a payout of mammoth proportions for flicking on the Christmas lights at a London mall and performing a "mini concert."
The terms of the contract are still being banged out, but organizers at the Westfield Mall in Stratford, England, are "prepared to pay up to £5 million for her." She actually did the same gig at the mall back in 2010.
So, let's just say that the festivities could take up two hours of the Unapologetic time. And that's generous: Even some full-length concerts don't last that long. That means she'd earn $4 million per hour, $66,000 per minute, or $1,000 per second.
"Rihanna's thrilled she has been asked again," a source tells The Sun. "She knows it's a big deal and is totally up for it — if it fits in with her schedule."
Uh, for a fee that large, she'd better rearrange her calendar! What do you think? Are you turning Grinch-green with envy?

Once upon a time, Christmas trees cost only Shs 200.
That is, if you did not manage to sneak behind your neighbour's fence and make off with one free of charge. But try buying one today and see!
Christmas is a special time of year for businessmen and women, whose trade is in any way connected to Christmas. Even though many of them say business is not as good as it used to be, still, the throngs of people at the taxi park willing to pay double the usual taxi fare to travel upcountry for Christmas, the lack of parking at usually sparse (and expensive) malls like Garden City, tell a different story.
A story of a people who have worked hard all year, braved tear gas, faced the Ebola virus, braced nodding disease, squared off with corruption, been assaulted by defilers... Surely, it is time to let your hair down and have a good time!
The only problem is that chances are, if statistics on the country's saving culture are to be believed, you do not have even a coin kept away for Christmas.
So, you are probably praying for an early December salary and healthy bonus - both of which will be blown by December 30. Unless you are not Ugandan!
Mzee Lawrence is your typical Ugandan. Last year, he took his entire family to the village in Kumi district. As the eldest and most successful son, the bills were mostly on him. And so it was that he spent so much that he had no money for fuel to get him back to Kampala.
As the holiday moved closer to an end, and the day he was expected to return to work came, he started running around the entire village borrowing. Lucky for him, he was well-liked for his generosity, and his brothers managed to collect some money from willing villagers so he could fuel his car and go back to Kampala.
This Christmas, Mzee Lawrence is again all set to go back and see his kinsmen and women at whatever cost. The only hitch is that he still does not have the money and is not sure where he will get it.
"I usually spend more than double my salary," he says. "But no matter what, I have to go back to the village. It is embarrassing to stay in Kampala for Christmas."
Like many people, Lawrence cannot say for sure exactly how much he spends on Christmas and the amount varies depending on how the trip to the village goes. Gilbert Mugisha, 24, on the other hand, chooses to cut costs by spending Christmas with his parents.
"I do not know if they have a budget and how much they spend. I just go and we have lots of fun," he says.
For Jordana Paul, Christmas is a meaningless holiday and he is not ready to spend even a cent on it.
"It is not biblical. Jesus was not born on December 25. It will be another ordinary day." But for most, Christmas is too special and worth every cent.

Maybe they will also offer some jets for that damn Teikei carb as well. And for the trifecta they could make the mirrors so you can actually see behind you instead of looking at your shoulders.
I still like my XT though... although it's still not broken it in yet with all this cold weather. Damn global warming!!
Thanks. The split fender in black is kind of wierd. Your's looks good, I was going to try a XT 225 fender also so thanks for trying it out, now I know I'm on the right track. Jets are a pain for some carbs, I've got jet drills so I can drill and solder them shut and redrill them if needed. It runs ok here a 600ft.

Korean Books Donated to Germany
| Pyongyang, March 9 (KCNA) -- Korean books were donated to Germany on the occasion of the birth anniversary of President Kim Il Sung.
A donating ceremony took place at the Thuringen State Committee of the Communist Party of Germany on March 2.
His works were handed over to the chairman of the committee.
The chairman of the committee said that the people in the state are reading the President's works with increasing avidity.
He stressed the need to positively organize seminars on the President's ideas, theories and revolutionary feats and post them on Internet homepages in the future.
He expressed belief that the Korean people would dynamically advance for the victory of the revolutionary cause of Juche under the leadership of the dear respected Kim Jong Un.

The following is an archive of a post made to our
'vox mailing list'
by one of its subscribers.
So, I was sitting here bashing Microsoft and Brian Lavender started
playing devil's advocate. He made the claim "yeah, but you can't rotate
text in X." I looked at Dia and, lo, and behold!, the FAQ says you can't
rotate text because neither X nor GTK+ support it.
However... I loaded the tried and true (and big and bloated and slow)
Star Office and discovered you CAN, easily, rotate text under Linux! :)
I loaded Star Office 5.2, selected "New Drawing", selected the text tool
and typed some text. I selected the rotation tool and rotated.
That's not too useful, though... most people use Word Processors to
write documents. Having to do it all in a drawing program can be
irritating. So, I selected the text object, hit Ctrl-[C]opy,
created a New Text Document, and hit Ctrl-[V]paste (that's a silent 'V' :) )
Voila! And not only does the text appear, but you can actually alter the
text (and, I assume, other attributes like font fact, etc.) from within
the word processor component of Star Office. It even spell-checks it!
So... thanks to Brian for throwing this one out. I learned something
useful from it. ;)
(who should really try the new OpenOffice and/or StarOffice 6.x releases)

About 18 months ago I came across La Iguana Chocolate when browsing the internet one day. I found it absolutely fascinating. An organic chocolate farm in the middle of the jungle; and they spoke Spanish! I've always had a passion for both chocolate and Spanish so I vowed to myself that I would pay them a visit some day.
I decided that I needed a long trip somewhere exotic this winter. I inquired about vacancies for volunteering at La Iguana and there happened to be a place, despite it being a busy time of year for them. I managed to find relatively cheap flights and book the time off work (to my surprise) and so I went ahead and organised my trip.
The inside of a cacao pod
I was even lucky enough to be given a fresh cacao pod to see inside and taste the white flesh that surrounds the beans. I was in heaven. The flavour was absolutely divine! It tasted like mangosteen - one of my favourite fruits from the other side of the world (I fell in love with mangosteen when I visited Southeast Asia a few years ago). It's interesting that this flesh tastes nothing like chocolate, yet is still delicious!

Store closure blow ahead of Pilot cash
Posted: June 22, 2012|
LISKEARD has suffered another blow with the closure of a family-run electronics store as it prepares to regenerate its centre using £100,000 of Portas Pilot funding.
Miners Home Appliances on Pigmeadow Lane, part of the Euronics network, has placed a sign in the window which reads: "This store is now closed. All interested parties will be contacted ASAP."
The phone is not being answered and the store's website has disappeared offline.
Owner Dave Miners, who was born and bred in the town, had enjoyed more than 24 years in the industry.
Rik Jones, chair of Liskeard Chamber of Commerce, said it was sad to see one of the longer-serving shops in Liskeard close down. He believed having the likes of Argos on the edge of town did not help smaller stores.
"Not only have we lost a reputable store selling many electrical items, along with spare parts, but Miners also had their own engineers that made home visits repairing items," he said.
"Dave Miners and his team will be greatly missed by everyone in Liskeard. Something must be done now before Liskeard pulls down the barriers on the edge of town and becomes a ghost town."
Mayor Tony Powell said he believed the action being taken by the town council on markets, JD Wetherspoon, a new pannier market, toilets, Westbourne Gardens and car parking strategy – when combined with the proposals from the town team which secured the Portas funding – would ultimately make a very big difference.
"However, I don't believe there are any quick fixes to this," he said.
"We need to take a very measured approach to ensure we keep our proposals firmly on track and ensure they are sustainable in the long term."
Allison Livingstone, from Liskeard Town Team, said it was devastating to lose another shop in the town, a family owned business that was a fixture on the Liskeard town landscape.
"There are still massive challenges ahead," she said.
"Traders are fighting online shopping, large out of town retail parks and reduced footfall among other things, which is why the town team has made a point of working so closely with traders and business to find out what the issues are, and the best ways to tackle them."
Mrs Livingstone said the team was beginning the process of implementing the winning bid, which they were confident would pull people back into town and highlight the diversity of shops and products available.
"Most people understand, however, it's not something that will happen overnight," she said.
"We'll continue to look at new and creative ways of working to support our very hardworking traders. And we hope this doesn't have to happen to another valuable store in our town."
LISKEARD has been offered the chance to feature in a documentary charting its progress as one of 12 Portas Pilots.
Allison Livingstone said TV production company Optomen would like Liskeard to be one of those filmed for Mary Portas's new series.
"We're delighted they're so interested in our town, and that they too can see all the positive and interesting things already happening," she said.
The team is currently organising a meeting with Optomen and Channel 4 to hear more about what being filmed would entail so a decision can be made about whether to take part.
"If we believe filming will enhance and increase the impact of that process, of course we'd want to be part of what promises to be an exciting and unique opportunity," added Mrs Livingstone.
