A growing number of older persons are being infected and are infecting the other generations with HIV. Individuals from the age of 50 and above contribute a large percentage to the total population of people living with HIV in Uganda.
Medical personnel find HIV more often than ever before in older people and because of improved treatment, people live longer.
Many people do not bear the symptoms in the early stages of infection. It can take a few weeks for minor symptoms to appear or 10 years for severe ones.
Signs of HIV- positive include headache, cough, diarrhoea, swollen glands, loss of appetite, weight loss, fevers, yeast infections and skin rash. But why are there many more cases of HIV in the elderly than before?
One reason is that health workers rarely test older people for HIV. Other times, during routine check-ups, the older people do not go for testing.
Thirdly, most of the older people have a misconception about HIV. For example general body weakness is considered as part of aging. In addition, some are stigmatised and are afraid of being tested. Persons aged 50-plus can live with HIV for a number of years when they are not aware they are infected. And by the time they are diagnosed with HIV, the virus has progressed into fatal stages.
The number of HIV infections among the older people is deemed to increase even more because:
lOlder Ugandans are less interested in knowing about their HIV status compared to the young people.
lMost of the elderly do not know how HIV spreads or the rationale of using condoms, sharing needles, getting tested and going for counselling.
lIn most cases, health workers rarely sensitise older people about HIV prevention.
Any person suffering from HIV/AIDS becomes depressed.
This is the same problem for older people who do not have a strong network of friends or family to help. At the same time, they face a challenge of coping with other diseases common to aging like high blood pressure, diabetes and heart problems. As the virus continues to spread, they need more help to get around.
The Government and all stakeholders involved in the fight against AIDS should raise awareness among the elderly and not only focus on the youth.

Register now for our GamesBeat 2015 event, Oct. 12-Oct.13, where we'll explore strategies in the new world of gaming. Microsoft is giving the Xbox One a small price cut for the launch of one of the console's biggest games. The company announced that it is releasing a special edition Xbox One bundle that includes Titanfall and a month of Xbox Live Gold for only $500. That's the same price as a standard, game-less Xbox One. Essentially, this package — which Microsoft only plans to offer for a limited time — will save customers $60 for the hotly anticipated sci-fi shooter as well as $10 for a month of the system's premium online service. The bundle goes on sale March 11, which is the launch date for Titanfall on Xbox One and PC (an Xbox 360 version is coming March 25). "To celebrate the launch of Titanfall, we wanted to do something special," Xbox marketing boss Yusuf Mehdi wrote in a blog post. "For those of you who are already fans of Xbox One, we hope this will encourage more of your friends to join you on day one for Titanfall on Xbox One. If you've been waiting for the biggest game of the generation before purchasing your Xbox One, this special, limited-time offer is perfect for you." Above: The Titanfall Xbox One controller does not come with this bundle.Image Credit: Microsoft The bundle includes the standard black Xbox One, controller, and headset. Players will also get a redeemable code for the digital version of Titanfall. Microsoft is also releasing a new Xbox One controller that features Titanfall-inspired art, but that is not included with this deal. The Xbox One has a lot riding on Titanfall. Microsoft's console sells for $100 more than the PlayStation 4, and that price difference (among other things) has helped Sony gain a market-share lead in the early months since both systems debuted in November. By including such an important game, Microsoft could make up some ground. While it is a multiplatform game (Xbox One, Xbox 360, and PC), Microsoft inked a deal with publisher Electronic Arts and developer Respawn Entertainment to keep Titanfall off PlayStation 4 or Wii U. That has many non-PC players treating this release as one of the first big Xbox One exclusives of 2014. EA and Respawn recently finished a Titanfall beta test for Xbox One and PC. During that trial period, more than 2 million players experienced a small portion of the title's futuristic parkour and mech-piloting action.

Reviews for the Asus K42Ja-VX032D
Source: Tech2.in.com
The ASUS K42Ja is a great laptop for those who want a laptop with great specs for day to day usage. Thanks to the HD 5730 GPU, gaming is also possible at medium settings with very playable framerates. At and MRP of Rs. 45,999, it's as a superb option for those in the market for a new multimedia laptop, which can fulfill a variety of roles.
Single Review, online available, Very Short, Date: 01/17/2011
Rating: Total score: 90%
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5730: The HD 5730 is a higher clocked HD 5650 (and therefore not based on the desktop HD 5700 series). It does not support GDDR5 and therfore performs like a middle class graphics card with DirectX 11.
Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.
» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.
460M: The Core i5-460M has only 3 MB L3 Cache (compared to the I7-620M) and clocks between 2.53-2.8 GHz (Turbo Mode). Thanks to Hyperthreading, 4 threads can be processed simultaneously. An integrated graphics card (GMA HD) and a DDR3 memory controller are also included in the package.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
14.0": 14 inch display size is a mixture between the small formats of subnotebooks and the 15 inch standard display. The reason why so many people like displays with medium size is, that this size is not exhausting for the eyes, does not need too much energy and the laptops can be kept quite compact.» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
2.2 kg: These sub-notebooks weight less than the average of all notebooks, but represent a heavier class of weight among the sub-notebooks. 13 inch displays are normal for this class of weight.
Asus: ASUSTeK Computer Incorporated, a Taiwanese multinational company, produces motherboards, graphics cards, optical drives, PDAs, computer monitors, notebook computers, servers, networking products, mobile phones, computer cases, computer components, and computer cooling systems. The company's 2007 revenues reached US$6.9 billion. ASUS also produces components for other manufacturers. The Eee PC initiated the netbook boom in 2008.
90%: There do not exist many models, which are rated better. The most ratings get ratings, which are a bit worse.

ACTIVE TIME: 35 min
TOTAL TIME: 1 1/4 hr
Prepare squash:
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Halve squash lengthwise, reserving 1 half for another use. Halve remaining squash piece diagonally crosswise and season with salt. Arrange wedges, cut sides up, in a small roasting pan filled with 1/2 inch water. Cover roasting pan tightly with foil and roast until tender, about 1 hour.
Prepare scallops after squash has been roasting 30 minutes:
Pat scallops dry and season with salt. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then brown scallops on both sides, 4 to 6 minutes total (scallops will be almost cooked through). Remove from heat. Add turmeric and toss until scallops are yellow, then transfer to a bowl.
Cook jalapeño, garlic, ginger, and 1 tablespoon lime juice in remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil in skillet over moderately high heat, stirring, 1 minute. Add water and simmer until water is evaporated and chile mixture is softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add cream and garam masala and simmer 2 minutes. Remove from heat and cover.
When squash is tender, add remaining 2 teaspoons lime juice and scallops with any liquid that has accumulated in bowl to sauce and simmer until scallops are just cooked through and sauce is slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
Put a squash wedge on each of 2 plates and spoon scallops and sauce over squash.
Cooks' notes:
Squash may be roasted 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Reheat, covered, in a microwave about 5 minutes.
For a fuller, more caramelized squash flavor (but a more rustic presentation due to browning), roast squash uncovered, cut sides down, and substitute 2 tablespoons butter for water in pan.
Scallops and sauce may be prepared separately 2 hours ahead and chilled, covered.

Massive commando operation begins in Nuristan
Sat Apr 14, 2:06 pm
Afghan Special Forces on Thursday night have launched major land and air operations against the armed insurgents in Kamdesh district of eastern Nuristan province.
The forces have pushed the Taliban militants back from Kamdesh district and about 400 police forces were supporting the National Commando Forces during the operations, said Muhammad Zarin the spokesperson of Nuristan's Governor.
So far, during the operations, about 25 Taliban militants have been killed and many others including two commando forces have been wounded. These operations are led by the Afghan Army soldiers and are being supported aerially by the international forces.
The operations would continue until the Kamdesh and Bargematal districts were not fully cleared of militants, security officials said.
Taliban's spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid confirms only the killing of 8 Taliban members, claiming 30 Afghan and international forces have been killed and wounded in the clashes.
The Taliban's spokesman has claimed that a number of civilians were the victims of bombardments by the international forces but the Nuristan officials reject the claims, saying only Taliban bases were targeted in the region.
Kamdesh is one of the bordering districts with Pakistan that is mostly controlled by the Taliban militants. The Taliban are using the district for their traffic and have disturbed the lives of the local residents.

Ten minutes later, the head Sherpa on Hall's team came on the radio.
"Lincoln Hall is in big trouble and needs your help," said Mazur.
There was a long pause. "You mean he's alive? How alive is he?"
"Well, he's moving around, he's talking," said Mazur, exasperated. "We need extra food, water and oxygen to get him down. Otherwise he's not going to make it."
Mazur insisted the man put Hall's leader, Alex Abramov, on the phone.
"You've got some guys in high camp, right? Send them up!" he told Abramov. The Russian climber agreed to send all the Sherpas he could gather.
"You can't blame the Sherpas for leaving Hall on the mountain," says Mazur. "It's their job to help us climb, but it's not their job to die."
For more than four hours, Mazur and his team waited, stomping their feet and pacing on the small snow-packed ledge to stay warm.
"We were all pretty quiet," recalls Brash, who had spent years training to climb Everest. "It was disappointed silence. We knew we weren't going to get to the summit."
At that point, no one knew if Hall was going to live. He shivered uncontrollably and his head jerked up and down. He was suffering from snow blindness, common at high altitude on such a bright, clear day. His fingers were so frozen they looked like pale yellow wax.
The team was relieved when two Italian climbers suddenly appeared on the ledge.
"Good morning!" said Mazur. "We've got a guy in trouble here! Can you help?" The men kept moving toward the summit. "Sorry, no speak English" was all they said. Mazur would spot them later at base camp, speaking English very well. "All I can say is, God bless their souls."
It was almost noon when a dozen Sherpas finally arrived to help take Hall down the mountain. With a guide on either side of him, he was able to walk down to high camp. From there, he rode a yak to base, bumping down the mountain on a saddle made of foam sleeping mats.
It took Mazur and his team two days to make their own way down. As soon as they arrived, they went to visit Hall, who was recuperating in his tent before the 100-mile trip to a hospital in Katmandu.
I hope that after all this, he's a nice guy, Mazur thought.
He wasn't disappointed. Although Hall was still groggy and slurring his words, they clearly understood when he said thank you for saving his life.
Hall would need surgery to amputate the tips of six fingers. Still, he knows he's a lucky man, that he could very well have become the 12th person to die on Everest this year — the deadliest season since the 1996 tragedy. Although his rescue is miraculous, it has sparked a debate about climbers who leave behind the sick and injured in pursuit of Everest's grand prize.
Even Sir Edmund Hillary, the first to reach Everest's summit in 1953, chimed in with disgust when he learned that 40 climbers had passed by Britain's David Sharp.
"People have completely lost sight of what is important," he told a New Zealand newspaper. "In our expedition, there was never any likelihood whatsoever if one member of the party was incapacitated that we would just leave him to die."
Mazur doesn't know whether much can be done to prevent future deaths. The allure of the world's highest peak is so great, he knows, climbers will continue to gamble everything for a few minutes at the top.
"It's such a personal challenge — once you're up there, you feel as though you could do anything," he says. "Sure, I wish I could have reached the summit again. But there's no way we could have left Lincoln Hall on that ridge. If we'd done that, the odds are he wouldn't be alive today. And I would have to live with that for the rest of my life."

Every time we go to sleep, we slip into a world rich in visions of such surreal creativity that they seem far beyond the imagination of the waking mind. No wonder, then, that from the Odyssey to Inception, dreams have entered the works of writers, artists and film-makers throughout the ages. David Robson

Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini claims "anything can happen" in the title race - despite admitting his side's hopes could be over by Sunday night.
Mancini conceded defeat at Arsenal this weekend, coupled with a win for rivals Manchester United over QPR, would all but condemn City to the runners-up spot.
Yet the Italian is determined that will not happen and, with seven games remaining, believes the five-point gap to United can be closed.

How is there no silive commenters using any drug or mafia references on this one, is Staten Island going soft?
This coming from the moron who has nothing better to do with his time than sit in his basement wearing a mustard stained tank top harping on websites for typos, while his life is oh so perfect. Get over yourself tough guy.
I do not agree...
Very cute, now hurry this bill up since I am a Veteran who has been home from war for over 3 years and yet to find work.
I am overweight but on the verge of losing it, can I be a cop?
I am a veteran myself so yes I think so, If a junior sailor went up to his chief and said "Hey Chief you're a great soldier." He would be doing clamp down until his boots slid off.
Not all veterans were soldiers..... Only those in the Army are. The rest go by other things like Sailors, Coast Guardsmen and Marines. So Veterans or Armed Forces is a much better fit.
What other backup PG move would you make?
You digbatt, the Advance not have a paper yesterday. But you're on top of things genius....
To old to work there, been retired from the army since 04...
Lets not forget some of the excellent Advance writers who are also veterans... Thank you guys for your service.
Please leave me alone.
Why say something like that on a public forum, it has no business on her. What a lack of respect
That guy who posted the drugs thing is a joke, he has no respect for anything. Only on here probably to stir up trouble
I almost fell for that too, the date from the movie was Oct. 21st 2015
Looks like they fixed it.
Does anyone know which Car Shows he displays his car at, I would like to take the gang and Penny there.

Drive-by shooting suspect denies chargesBy ERIC FRANCIS
CORRESPONDENT | March 14,2013ERIC FRANCIS PHOTO
Orion Pfenning, 18, of Weathersfield pleaded innocent to reckless endangerment and simple assault Monday for allegedly driving past and shooting a fellow Springfield High School student with an air pellet gun in February.WHITE RIVER JUNCTION A Weathersfield teenager who allegedly shot a fellow Springfield High School student in the arm with an air pellet gun in February has denied the charges against him. Orion Pfenning, 18, pleaded innocent this week in White River Junction criminal court to misdemeanor charges of simple assault and reckless endangerment for the Feb. 20 incident on Main Street near the movie theater in downtown Springfield.
He has been ordered not to possess any firearms or other dangerous weapons while his case is pending.
Ashley Morse, 18, told Springfield police that she and her sisters were crossing the street just before noon on their way to the library when Pfenning drove by in a black SUV. He cursed at her, then shot her in the arm with a pellet gun, police said.
Morse wrote in her statement she had known Pfenning since grade school. She added, I have never done anything to my knowledge to upset him in any way. He is just a very ignorant person. I have no idea why he shot me.
Springfield Police Cpl. Walter Morancy wrote in court records that Morse told him the pain from the pellet wound was really bad.
Morancy said Pfenning admitted to firing the shot, but denied being angry with Morse or having any reason to hurt her.
Pfenning just shrugged his shoulders ... (and) asked, What do you want me to say? Morancy said.
The officer stressed the potential for a blinding injury if the shot had hit any of the three sisters in the face.
I also spoke to Pfenning about the possibility of causing public alarm (if someone had seen) a gun pointed out the window of vehicle in downtown Springfield, considering what has taken place here in the past year, Morancy said. Pfenning just looked confused ... until I reminded him of the alleged gang activity in Springfield.
The corporal said Pfenning showed no remorse or concern whether he had injured Morse.
Pfenning faces up to two years in jail if convicted of both charges.MORE IN Southern VermontBENNINGTON — Ask author and Bennington College graduate Charlotte Silver if the title of...

Chromosomes are structures found in the center (nucleus) of cells that carry long pieces of DNA. DNA is the material that holds genes. It is the building block of the human body.
Chromosomes also contain proteins that help DNA exist in the proper form.
Chromosomes come in pairs. Normally, each cell in the human body has 23 pairs of chromosomes (46 total chromosomes). Half come from the mother; the other half come from the father.
Two of the chromosomes (the X and the Y chromosome) determine if you are born a boy or a girl (your gender). They are called sex chromosomes:
The mother gives an X chromosome to the child. The father may contribute an X or a Y. It is the chromosome from the father that determines if the baby is a girl or a boy.

homebrew hack questions.
i want to build a hack for my Bonneville. ive got most of it worked out in my head and on some scratch pads etc.
im getting down to the material selection process/parts selection process before i get underway cutting and welding and wasting time and materials (its never a waste if youre having fun, but it does cost to do things twice)
the things i cant get around in my head are........
first, should the hack wheel match the front or back wheel? i know if the rim and tire are the same as the pusher i could effectively "rotate" my tires based on wear when necessary.
but what is better, big hack tire, or narrower tire like such that the front has, or does it not really matter, just put something on that rolls?
its going to do mostly street duty, as it IS a triumph bonneville, but it will definitely see some dirt road action. the body i plan on is basically a dimensional copy of the ural cargo box (i love ridingdonkeys bike) but with provisions for a seat to be placed in.
secondly, should the frame be made of square or round tubing, and what dimension(diameter or box) is adequate? im thinking 1 1/2" .120" wall mild steel, is that overkill? or too light?
thanks guys

I'm not a hack builder, but I spend alot of time reading threads here, and square tubing is best left to people who really really know what they're doing. Hobby home builders should use round tubing. I believe it's all about strength and flexibility, torsion and stiffness.
On the tire, just something that rolls will work. If you plan to have a brake on that wheel, an auto tire will have a bigger contact patch, but really any tire will handle braking forces OK. If you need to hit the brakes hard, most of the weight is transferred to the front wheel, so it won't really matter too much if you have a wide or skinny tire on the car because it's not gonna provide a lot of braking power.
On the other hand, when you are throwing the bike hard around a left curve, a lot of weight gets transferred to the sidecar tire and that's when you want a tire and wheel (and suspension) that won't let you down. It's gotta be able to bite and hold if you don't wanna go sliding onto the shoulder.
Aesthetically, I like a skinny front-wheel style sidecar wheel only on the lightweight dual sport rigs like a KLR or a DR650. I like an automobile wheel and tire on the high-speed rigs and the heavy rigs. But on a mid-weight rig like the Bonneville, especially if you want it to look good, I'd like to see a rear moto wheel/tire. But since you are putting a cargo box on there, obviously you don't care how it looks, so aesthetics are probably not a factor.
Ride height is also a factor I'm sure you're already thinking about. The axle on a 19" moto wheel will sit 2" higher off the ground than a 15" rear wheel.
Just my two cents. But that's what you asked for, right?

Disclaimer: I am just a shadetree mechanic, so I may not know what I am talking about.
I think the only compelling reason to have a bigger SC wheel would be to help get up over big rocks and stuff.

ive been on the hunt for a wheel to match my bonneville mag wheels. its also a pretty known thing in the bonneville community to put cbr600f3 wheels on the bike, so i may scoop one of those up if i can't find a matching mag wheel i can justify buying (trying to keep it pseudo cheap)
i think that i will use round, as it looks nicer and no sharp edges, though square is easy to get things flat. im not a rookie by any means, but ive never built a sidecar, i have made bicycle frames, truck racks, bumpers, roll cages etc. i work as a mechanic restoring mercedes benz sl's
thanks for the responses.

I agree with the above posters but I'll add my 2 cents. On my Airhead rigs I used and liked having rear matching bike wheel and tire as a sidecar tire especially on long trips cross country. The pusher wears out faster then the rest so before it's all gone you can swap with the sidecar and get home without buy a tire on the road. On my BMW Cruiser rig I had a car tire on the pusher wheel that lasted 30,000 miles so I put a front wheel on the sidecar. On that rig the front tire wore out first and I could swap wheels on the road with the sidecar. I once had to go a couple hundred miles in the mid west to find a new front tire for that rig so that's why I went with a front for that particular sidecar rig.

thanks for that ivan, thats what im thinking.
i doubt i could find a car tire as a pusher for my bonneville wheels, and a 15 inch conversion isnt happening.

I've got 3 different tire/wheel combinations on my rig and it's never once been a problem. My hack's wheel is from a BMW that more or less matches the bike's and includes a disc brake operated by the bike's rear brake lever. Works fine, especially when descending in deep gravel, gives you lots more control. On longish tours I carry spare tires and don't worry about it, never had a flat yet.

Ariel Hearn Named to Paradise Jam All-Tournament Team
Dec. 2, 2013
Sophomore guard Ariel Hearn (Memphis, Tenn./Arlington HS) was named to the Paradise Jam All-Tournament Team. Hearn averaged 16.3 ppg and shot 55.0 percent from three-point range in three games at the Virgin Islands tournament, leading Memphis in scoring and steals (with eight).
Hearn is Memphis' leading scorer, averaging 17.4 ppg and leading the team with 20 steals on the season. She also ranks second on the team with 26 assists. Hearn has knocked down 16 three-point field goals on the season, 11 of them at the Paradise Jam tournament last week.
Hearn was joined on the all-tournament team by Brady Sanders of Texas, Courtney Walker of Texas A&M and Brittney Sykes and Brianna Butler of Syracuse. Butler was named the tournament MVP for Syracuse, which won the Reef Division championships and improved to 8-0 on the season.
The Tigers will finish their fall semester classes early this week, then break for study day on Thursday and begin fall final exams Friday. On Saturday, the team will host former conference foe UAB, at 4 p.m. That game will be Memphis' first game at home since Nov. 18th.
The Saturday game will be Memphis' annual Teddy Bear Toss game. All fans bringing a new stuffed animal to donate to LeBonheur Children's Research Hospital will receive free admission. The animals will be tossed onto the court at halftime for prizes and will then be collected by the Tigers' athletics staff. The collected donations will then be delivered to patients at LeBonheur Children's Research Hospital by the women's basketball team after final exams are completed.

Dodoma — PUBLIC-PRIVATE Partnership (PPP) is being considered for the revamping of Tangold, a fruit processing plant in Korogwe, Tanga, the National Assembly was told on Wednesday.
The Minister for Agriculture, Food and Cooperatives, Eng Christopher Chiza, said the government is currently preparing to handover the facility to either the Export Processing Zones Authority (EPZA) or Tanzania Investment Centre (TIC).
"This will depend on their plans to revamp the fruit processing plant in partnership with potential investors," the minister said while responding to a basic question by Korogwe Urban MP, Mr Yusuph Abdalah Nasir (CCM).The MP wanted to know plans by the government to revamp the facility which during its heydays provided jobs and market for orange and mango farmers in the area.
Minister Chiza said the government has already received tentative programmes to refurbish the processing plant from both the EPZA and TIC, noting that a meeting to determine who will be given the plant between the two will be convened in the near future.
The minister told the august House that Tangold Korogwe and Tangold Dar es Salaam, then under National Milling Corporation (NMC)were in the year 1992 leased to Noble Azania Investment and Management Services (AIMS) for a period of ten years. According to Eng Chiza, the investor breached terms of contract by among others things changing the name of Tangold Korogwe to Noble Food Beverages Limited and shifting the machinery to the Dar es Salaam plant.
"In 1998, NMC specified the plants for privatization to which the leaseholder was asked to hand-back the facilities. AIMS went to court when it was awarded a court injunction barring privatization for the Dar es Salaam plant and the case is still pending," he said.
Adding: "After the court injunction for the Dar es Salaam plant, the then Presidential Parastatal Reform Commission (PSRC) acquired the Korogwe plant which was in sorry state as most of the machinery had been relocated and others stolen." The minister noted that on various occasions PSRC made announcement to privatize the facility but no suitable investor had been found.

MABEN ŌĆö The building known for more than three decades as Town Hall came crumbling down just after 9:35 a.m. Monday to make way for a new structure.
After just a few minutes of a machineŌĆÖs blade pounding against the northern brick wall, Town Hall for this community of 803 quickly became a pile of rubble.
Speaking just a few minutes before the demolition began, Town Clerk Barbara McCluskey, who has served in her role for about 30 years, talked about the building which had been ŌĆ£like a second home.ŌĆØ
She described the moment as sad but noted what is to come is a ŌĆ£well-needed change.ŌĆØ
Town officials studied how to address moisture problems and make the building accessible to those with disabilities, said Mayor Larry Pruitt.
They had in hand a $100,000 Small Municipalities Grant through the Mississippi Development Authority and $50,000 from Lloyd Cummins, who willed the city the money specifically to build a town hall.
ŌĆ£Back when he thought about it $50,000 might have built a city hall,ŌĆØ the mayor said.
But the $150,000 ŌĆ£wouldnŌĆÖt do the complete renovation,ŌĆØ Pruitt said. ŌĆ£The board just decided ŌĆśletŌĆÖs not waste money trying to renovate.ŌĆÖŌĆØ
The town has since obtained another $100,000 MDA grant and a $60,000 Rural Development grant through the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
What became Town Hall was once two separate buildings. In 1964, John and Marjorie Tenhet built a building where they used the upper floor for an appliance repair business and the basement as their dwelling, Pruitt said.
At some point, the lower building and the upper one, which once housed the Maben Press newspaper, were connected.
Thomas Pate also used the lower section for his insurance business at one time, the mayor said.
It became City Hall some time in the 1970s.
The new building will hold offices for two clerks, the Police Department, space for Municipal Court and the Board of Aldermen, disability-accessible restrooms, a copy room and a file room.
The building will have a brick facade on three sides and a pitched metal roof.
ŌĆ£I think we can build a building that will cut down on costs and prepare for the future where the town can spend money on other facilities such as its library and parks and beautification,ŌĆØ Pruitt said.
Town Hall is operating in a temporary location at the former O.L. Wicks School, about a quarter-mile north of the old Town Hall. Pruitt hopes the new building will be complete by fall.

Alhamdullilah that we have been guided to the true way of life – Al Islam. A perfect way of life that comes from the Most Perfect, the Creator and Sustainer of all that exists – Allah ?. Alhamdullilah that we have been shown the truth as the truth and falsehood as the falsehood.
And so the question arises; is it enough to say we believe and then wash our hands of further responsibility? Or does with this belief come the duty of protecting, implementing and propagating it?
Allah SWT says:
"You are indeed the best community that has ever been brought forth for [the good of] mankind: you enjoin the doing of what is right and forbid the doing of what is wrong, and you believe in God" (3:110)
The Believer is Tested
Islam is the way of life that we have been ordained to believe in and implement upon the Earth with all that it came with. It is with this command that we are tested. It is with tests that Allah ? elevates in degrees one believer over another. The believer should look to tests as an opportunity to draw closer to the Creator of all that exists.
Do you think that you could enter paradise without having suffered like those [believers] who passed away before you? Misfortune and hardship befell them, and so shaken were they that the apostle, and the believers with him, would exclaim, "When will God's victory come?" Oh, verily, God's victory is [always] near! (2:214)
Alhamdullilah, many of us know of sisters (or may be one ourselves) who wear the niqab. The niqab, like the hijab is worn purely out of devotion to Allah ?. Whether we view the niqab as an obligatory, recommended or permissible action according to different Islamic scholarly opinion, we must respect these opinions on this subject and not fall into an unnecessary debate amongst ourselves.
It is the hope of those who wish to rip the veil from the faces of our sisters to disunite us on this issue. It is their hope that we split up into two camps. The 'moderates' who do not hold it as wajib, versus the extremists who do hold it as wajib. This is the age old tactic of divide and conquer! Let us not fall into this trap! We must look upon every opinion that is based upon an understanding of the Qur'an and Sunnah as an Islamic opinion. Thus we must look at a proposal to ban the niqab as a proposal to ban a part of the Qur'an and Sunnah – a ban on Islam!
Let us respond to this test by standing for everything that is a part Islam, adhering to it with steadfastness and supporting one another in piety.
An Age Old Test
William Gladstone, four times elected British Prime Minister was recorded as saying before parliament as early as 1894: "The situation in the East will not be successful until we remove the Hijab from the woman and use it to cover the Qur'an." The 'East' meaning the Islamic Uthmani Khilafah State.
This is not an issue about niqab or hijab - This is an issue about Islam. This is an issue about undermining Islam and dominating over it, in order to prevent it from emerging as an alternate way of life to Western secular democracy. This is a struggle between those who value a creed where religion has no part to play in the running of the affairs of society, and those who value the creed of Islam that dictates that the Creator has given us a comprehensive guide to live by as individuals and societies. This is a struggle between the 1% of secular capitalists who fear losing their monopoly of position and power by the rise of Islam which shall ensure that Allah's ? justice reigns supreme for all – Muslim and non-Muslim alike!
Western policy makers see the role of the Muslim woman in this struggle as a vital one. They know very well the worth of her essential role in raising the future generation of upstanding, strong Muslim men and women. If they can exert influence over her Islamic role, position and dress code, then they know they would have succeeded in exerting this influence over the future generations as well!
Exactly What Are They Saying?
No doubt you are all aware of the public debate that is taking place both here and across Europe in particular concerning the niqab, and the debate on whether a ban should be introduced or not on September 23rd 2010.
After banning all conspicuous religious symbols within public institutions – to target the hijab in particular – France was amongst the first nations to then move to ban the niqab in the general public life. Similar moves have echoed across Europe, and certainly it was not very long before they reached the shores of Australia.
Liberal Senator Cory Bernardi was the first to publicly comment, and now Christian Democrat Fred Nile has taken it on as his own personal crusade, giving it precedence above every other issue. On June 22nd 2010 he put forward a private members bill to have this issue debated within the NSW parliament in September.
"We must do all we can to protect women, especially Muslim women, from discrimination and oppression so they live an open lifestyle… The wearing of the burqa is a form of oppression which has no place in the 21st century". He also further added that it presented "a security risk."
Muslim Choose Allah's Deen, Not Man's!
Is it the niqab that oppresses women? Let's get real! Is it Islam that, in the name of profit, uses women's bodies as objects for advertising, entertainment and pornography under freedom of expression? Is it Islam that evaluates the worth of women according to the extent of their attractiveness to men?
By contrast, Islam gave women honour and dignity 1400 years ago and prohibited the exploitation of women by men as sexual objects in society. Women are not valued according to their physical bodies but valued as equal human beings in society. Allah ? prescribed the manner of dress and code of conduct between men and women in society so that each cannot oppress the other and deal with each other as human beings and not sexual commodities; preserving the Islamic values of modesty and chastity. In this way men and women become equal members in society.
Is it the Niqab or Discrimination that Isolates?
The niqab debate has further fuelled an already very strong anti-Islamic sentiment within the community. Since when do politicians ever talk about aspects of clothing or personal dress? Since when has the media ever addressed women's clothing outside of its fashion pages?
Yet somehow many politicians and media outlets have decided that Muslim women's dress tops the political agenda, even overriding the economic and environmental crises of our time! Why has a garment worn by a small number of sincere women received so much national attention and legislative time and energy? – other than perhaps to gain cheap political points amongst the far right sectors of their communities!
The calls to ban the burqa or niqab prove that the West has completely lost the intellectual argument for their way of life. They have failed to convince Muslim women to leave the hijab or niqab in favour of the dress code of Western women. The fact they feel they can only resort to bans to stop them from wearing the niqab is truly a victory for the values of Islam over their values.
The Way Forward
Dear Sisters! Know that your strength lies with Islam and Islam alone. It is our deen that dictates what is in our interests and what is not. It is not for us to define what is beneficial and what is not when it contravenes the Deen of Allah ?. You will not find either trueness nor permanent security by depending upon principles of freedom, human rights and democracy to defend Islam. We understand that these values, laws and principles are man-made, so are constantly subject to change. Therefore, we cannot allow this debate to revolve around them, nor can we use them as the basis of our thinking and responses about this, or any other issue. As Muslims, we are obliged to use Islam and only Islam as our yardstick to address all matters. We adhere to our Islamic principles and values, regardless of what percieved benefits are offered for us to abandon them.
As Muslim women, we will never disobey our Creator in any part of our Deen, whether it is the hijab, niqab or any other matter, in order to please a creation.
Dear sisters in Islam, we need to remain united in the face of this attack; to raise our voices on this issue exposing the falsity of women's liberation in the West and show how Islam raised the status of women in society. These issues show that Muslims in Australia need to stand for their Islam, engage in this battle of ideas and convey the true face and values of Islam to the ordinary people, who are fed lies on a daily basis about Islam by the politicians and media.
Allah SWT says:
And who is better in speech than one calls men to Allah and says "I am one of those who are Muslims"? (41:33)

Review: Fictionwise, Overdrive e-book lending libraries
October 2, 2008 | 12:20 am
By Chris Meadows
One idea that libraries have been experimenting with for a while is lending a collection of e-books under the same kind of restrictions as paper books—no more than one patron using a given "copy" at one time, each copy being "returned" after a set checkout period. (For a while, eReader was owned by a company that offered e-book lending collections to libraries.)
I have learned that both Fictionwise and my local public library now offer e-book lending collections—Fictionwise through its Libwise division, and my library through Overdrive. Today, I decided to take a look at both e-libraries and see what they had to offer.
Similarities and Differences
Both of the libraries offer works in the Secure Mobipocket e-book format. This lets them deliver the books to you with a set expiration date enforced by Digital Rights Management (DRM), so that you cannot read them after they have expired. The library is then free to lend the books out again to you or someone else, knowing that only one person can be reading the same "virtual copy" at a time.
To download library e-books, you must register your Mobipocket application and device serial numbers with the library. Fictionwise's allows 4, Overdrive's 3. Of course, you must also create an account with each of them. Fictionwise's uses your pre-existing Fictionwise account. My library's Overdrive needed my library card number.
At the moment, Fictionwise's library is open only to members of its Buywise discount club (though they will also offer guest accounts to library administrators on request). My public library's Overdrive collection is open only to those who have a local library card (as will be other public libraries' Overdrive collections).
In addition to Mobipocket e-books, the Overdrive library offers Adobe e-books, Windows Media audiobooks, and others, but I didn't really look at any of them. The Mobipocket books were what interested me.
The Overdrive collection from my library did not have a very large selection—only 57 Mobipocket e-book titles altogether. (Edit: As noted in one of the comments below, other libraries' Overdrive collections may be substantially larger.) In all of that, there were only a handful of titles I wanted: the first two volumes of Lois McMaster Bujold's The Sharing Knife and a couple of Pratchett Discworlds. The rest were mostly non-fiction or mainstream titles I had never heard of.
Fictionwise has 543 titles in its library at the time of this writing, broken down into a number of categories. Many of them are short stories rather than full novels.
I did not browse through all the categories, but of the ones I checked, science fiction definitely had the most with 150 titles in it. There were 31 fantasy and 26 romance—but only 7 dark fantasy and 1 erotica (by Robert Silverberg, of all people). And with only 6 "mainstream" titles out of 543 books, one wonders just how "mainstream" they can really be.
It seems a little odd to break "dark fantasy" out from "fantasy" when there are so few titles in either category, but these categories echo those of the Fictionwise store itself, so I suppose it is just as well to keep it that way for simplicity's sake.
The Fictionwise library has quite a few decent titles, including a book or two I've enjoyed in print. There's another Bujold, this time the Vorkosigan novel The Borders of Infinity. There's M.J. Engh's The Wheel of the Winds. There's Dodie Smith's The Hundred and One Dalmations. There is a huge number of Robert Silverberg titles, and quite a few Michael Resnicks.
And there's also Tarnsman of Gor—but then, they can't all be winners.
In both cases, the libraries have only a limited number of each title to lend out—just like printed books in a "real" library. You can only check out a book if there is a copy that is not being read by anyone else.
The Overdrive collection allows books to be placed "on hold" so that you will be notified and given first shot at the next copy of a book that becomes available. Fictionwise does not appear to offer this feature yet. (Edit: Actually, I have been informed and subsequently discovered that they do, but it was not immediately obvious to me how to do so when I looked at a book that had been checked out.)
It should also be noted that, unlike in my local library's physical-books catalog, there appears to be no way to tell when a book is "due back" in either Fictionwise or Overdrive. This lack is particularly annoying in the Fictionwise library, where there is no way to place a hold but no way to tell when you should try to check it out before someone else can either.
Checkout and Turn-In
To check out books from the Overdrive library, you just add the books to your cart, then click the check-out link to check them out. You can have up to ten books out at one time, and you get them for a fixed period of two weeks. (Edit: As mentioned in the comment below, number of books allowed and check-out period may vary between different libraries' Overdrive collections.)
In the Fictionwise library, you check them out one at a time by clicking on "Borrow now." At the right, a panel appears with a drop-down box where you can select the length of time you will need them—anywhere from 3 to 16 days. This system adds a good deal of flexibility. If you know it will not take you long to read, you can choose closer to 3. If you know you will be away from reliable net access for some time, you can choose closer to 16.
Once you have set the check-out length, click the "Borrow Now" button and the book is automatically added to your Fictionwise bookshelf. (If the book is already checked out, there will be a "Wait List" button instead, and you will be added to a waiting list. You can tell how many people are in line ahead of you by the number of "person" icons next to the "Checked Out" icon.) You can currently only borrow three books at a time from the Fictionwise library.
Instead of checking Fictionwise library books out, you may also choose to buy them, either for yourself or to add another copy to the library. It is unclear whether you can or will eventually be able to buy and donate copies of Fictionwise books not yet in the library, however.
In both libraries, there is no way to turn in a book early (at least for Mobipocket. You can turn in Overdrive Adobe books early, according to their FAQ) because there is no way for the library to be sure the book has been removed from your hard drive before the DRM's preset expiration date. In the case of Fictionwise, make sure you are not checking books out for any longer than you need them.
Unlike traditional books, Fictionwise books are "turned in" automatically, by the DRM system. In addition to the standard multi-device lockdown of all Mobipocket books, these books are set to expire in a set period of time—14 days for the Overdrive collection; user-selectable for the Fictionwise. After that time, the files remain on your hard drive, but you will no longer be able to access them. The library is then free to lend them out again.
The Books Themselves
I looked briefly through several titles from both libraries, and there is not a whole lot that really needs saying. These are professionally-formatted, nicely legible e-books in every respect.
My only complaint about the Fictionwise library would be that of the books I downloaded to try it out, only The Hundred and One Dalmations had a table of contents—Wheel of the Winds and The Borders of Infinity did not. But that may be an artifact of the way the books were provided to Fictionwise from their publishers.
Pro: The Convenience
On the face of it, these virtual libraries seem to be a very elegant and cool idea. My rant about HarperCollins's ersatz "free" giveaway of Neverwhere aside, I have no problem with the idea of a book being yours to read for a limited time and then expiring, as long as it's clear this is a library-style endeavor without a lot of noise made about how "free" it is. And certainly the ability to "check out" and "turn in" books without ever leaving your apartment is just like having your own private on-demand bookmobile.
Cons: Restricted Platforms
The problems lie in the execution. The first problem is a problem for readers like me: there is currently no DRM-capable Mobipocket reader for the iPhone/iPod Touch, or even Nokia 770, my current mobile reading devices of choice. I will only be able to read the books I check out on my Windows desktop—which is why I doubt I will be making much use of either of these libraries beyond my testing for this review, unless and until Mobipocket comes through with the official iPhone client that their CEO claimed would be out "by the end of the year."
Useless DRM
The other problem is a potentially big problem for Fictionwise and Overdrive: Mobipocket's DRM is completely ineffective, and has been for quite a while. The tools to crack it can be found in under five minutes on the Internet. Many e-book-reading consumers already use them to decrypt Secure Mobipocket books they've bought so they can read them on unsupported devices. This is illegal in some places, such as the United States, but not everywhere—and even where it is illegal, there is no reason to suppose that people who decrypt for personal use only will ever be caught.
There is no reason why these same cracking tools should not work just as well on library e-books as on purchased e-books—time limit or not, they all use the same DRM system. With the DRM cracked, the books can be read by anything that can read normal Mobipocket books, and will not expire.
Of course, you have to have a certain amount of technical expertise to be able to do that, and the majority of consumers will probably be happy to use the books the way they were intended. But for people of low moral character, these "library" e-books will simply become "free" e-books, and nobody will be the wiser. The real scum of the earth might even go so far as to share them through peer-to-peer.
E-book libraries are an interesting idea, and both the Overdrive and Fictionwise libraries seem to be executed about as well as such a thing can be (though I would give the edge to Fictionwise over my library's Overdrive for its selection and its user-set check-out periods). Providing time-limited lending copies just as with a "real" library is certainly a laudable goal.
The problem is that the DRM that enables the lending is inconvenient to users who do not have exactly the right devices on the one hand, and ineffective at restricting the use of the books to just those intended by the lenders on the other. These are flaws that are inherent in the very idea of trying to make an electronic book act like a paper book, and I am skeptical that they can ever be solved.
DRM: in the end it has to be social type DRM, cos the bright kiddies will ALWAYS manage to crack any DRM… it's like doing a crossword to them & the harder the better… Firms and Authors and Artists have to get people on their side so no one will WANT to cheat DRM, or distribute stuff illegally. I'm not sure what the answer is but I'm sure the percieved inequity of the current system, big bucks for a few and precious little for anyone else) does not help…The perception that the public had been ripped off for years by the record companies did not help them and as for Metallica's complaints that we were ripping them off (Multimillionaires as they were) CERTAINLY was counter productive…
As a person who uses their local library's Overdrive system regularly I just wanted to clarify that each local library will have slightly different access to books depending on their contract. My library has approximately 3490 Adobe PDF books (returnable anytime); 2380 Mobipocket books; 4650 WMA audiobooks (a few of which are burnable to CD); and just recently they've added 330 MP3 audiobooks playable on iPods. With my library's contract all books are checked out for 21 days and I can check out up to 20 books at a time. There are many "mainstream" books available and books are added all the time. My local library also has video and music available but I have not used that portion of their Overdrive system.
I love the idea of the lending libraries so I don't have to buy every modern book I read. I have spent some time looking at online ebook libraries specifically for mobipocket books.
The fictionwise library software is available for libraries to purchase, you can find who has them by looking up "libwise.com" in a search engine. Most require your local library card number to check out books. Each library can choose how long books can be checked out and how many books at a time.
This one is free to everyone and specializes in SF genre. http://www.libwise.com/loqui/ I believe they only have 42 books at this time.
Libwise does let you put a book on hold if it's checked out. It doesn't give you how many days you have to wait, but does indicate how many people are in line before you.
Few of the ebook collections I've looked at, either on Overdrive or Libwise have large mobipocket collections yet. I think New York public libraries have a large collection, but they want $100/yr to join, and they neglected to reply to emails I had sent them.
Some of the Overdrive libraries (maybe some of the Libwise libraries too?) will sell you a library card for a year if you don't live in their district, but in my opinion they are mostly asking way too much money and their collections are way too small for it to be worthwhile.
I have learned that while my local library system doesn't have ebooks available, I can get a card from a larger parish (county) nearby on some kind of interlibrary trade system. I haven't done that yet because I have to drive to the distant library to get a card (they won't do it by mail) and their small collection doesn't make the drive worth the time and money and effort. Just saying . . . maybe there is some way others can gain access to online libraries in their area for free or for a reasonable amount of money.
Thanks for this post. I hope these online libraries become much bigger and more common in the near future.
As mentioned in your review, ebooks available vary greatly from library to library. PDF format ebooks, opened in Adobe Digital Editions can be returned and immediately come off your checked out list, and most libraries carry far more ADE format ebooks than mobipocket format.
DRM is a very sticky issue. While I would never share an ebook on which I have broken the DRM code, I also do not have anxiety over using a DRM hack to allow me to read an ebook on my choice of devices at my leisure whether I have purchased the ebook or borrowed it from my library. The DRM set by the lending library controls how many times a year an ebook can be checked out, so why do I have to be limited to when I read it. In both cases, I have "purchased" the product – (the library through taxes). Hacking the DRM is not stealing unless you share the product with persons who have not paid for it.
I belong to the local library, as well as the one in the northern part of my state. I belong to the second because its selection of mobipocket ebooks is significantly better than my local library's.
I've emailed both – one to praise, one to question – and was basically told that the library systems give them a limited amount of money to buy ebooks. My local library contact told me they weren't buying any more mobipocket formatted books (although they do show up new on the site every now and then) because the majority of borrowers want Adobe.
The second thanked me for my interest and said they'd continue to offer them as long as there was interest in the format.
I appreciate their concern – but in my mind it becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy. Don't offer mobi, and mobi users won't come looking for them. I almost never visit my local library's ebooks site any more. It just isn't worth the time. The sad thing is, I won't know if they ever change their policy…
MY complaint is that,
1. for International payers, Fictionwise FAILS to state monies are in USD so if you pay 20 bucks Au you'll find double gone from your bank.
2. Fictionwise is all about using the people's money but a lot of socalled ebooks wont download and they keep your money while you get sweet nothing. This is equivalent to a crime.

Replying to: ZTE A210 USB by doclogic
Re: ZTE A210 USB
It has been more than a month, it feels like this forum response is outdated. I own a refurbished cricKet A210 cell phone. If I want to move any photos or sounds off the cell phone and onto my PC, I use a 'Bluetooth USB Dongle' which I purchased from http://www.cellphoneshop.net. This Dongle appears to be using an established USB standard, making it usable on any future cell phone that conforms. When I used the Dongle in Windows XP, it at first could only copy one photo at a time. Had to constantly repeat frustrating button pushing to get all the photos copied to my Windows XP PC. Than I switched to trying this in Windows 7. When I did this, *ALL* the photos quickly copied over to Windows 7 using the interface from the Dongle. Make sure you have this Dongle plugged in any time you access your cell phone over the PC.

Overnight at Mt. Washington Observatory
They live in this building, but they live for what happens outside. The weather room is packed with computers, instruments, and charts. They're a world onto themselves, every day hoping a great storm will stop by and make every hourly venture outside to check this or that device a battle of will against wind. For fun they challenge one another to see which of them can walk around the icy observatory tower in a 100 mph blast without touching a rail or toppling over. They call it the Century Club. On the tower the wind punches your breath away. It's dangerous–irresistible to any observer, intern, or staffer who knows the lore and legends of all the men and women who have lived here before them.
We learn the rules right away. "Nobody leaves without checking with me. Nobody goes out alone," Joe says. If we go outside, we must never lose sight of each other. We sleep with all outdoor gear within reach. If there's an emergency and we have to scramble outside with the wind chill at minus 50 degrees, there's no time to say, Oops, no mittens. Water is scarce; no showers. The air is so dry people get dehydrated, so we have to drink a lot of liquids. Joe urges us to go to the tower to see the sunset, and to wake at 5:30 for sunrise. Many days and nights you see nothing but fog, but when it clears, Joe promises, it's like nothing we can imagine.
Joe readies us to feel the mountain under our feet. Washington is not a forgiving mountain, so we need to strap crampons on our boots and know how to use an ice axe. Joe grabs our attention.
"It was April," he says. "Two men hiked up here on a windy day. It was the iciest I've ever seen. It was scary being up here, hard to get your crampons into the surface. These two guys made it to the top and were standing in the parking lot. And they relaxed and put their ice axes down. And a gust of wind hit them. They went over on their backs. One guy went maybe 200 feet and hit a rock and broke his femur. The other guy went more than a mile. And that's why I went up there, to bring his body down. It could have happened to anyone. So when you walk out here, always have your ice axe in your hand."
Walking with crampons on hard snow and slick rocks, you become aware of every step: lift foot, put foot down, lift other foot. Aware of every breath. We wear hoods over our hats, and goggles over our hoods. Our faces are covered with balaclavas. We're thickly layered from top to bottom. It's a strange feeling to be so cocooned in the bitter cold. Joe guides us to a moderate slope above the Lakes of the Clouds. Just beyond, the headwall of Tuckerman Ravine is lovely in the rare sun.
We're here to learn "self-arrest": a technique of stopping a fall that can make the difference between living and not. We climb to the crest of the slope, lie on our bellies, heads to the rise, and, well, let go. We slide, wanting speed, then push down with our body weight on the edge of the axe until we stop. Climb back. Lie on our backs, let go, flip ourselves over. Stop. Climb back. Then head first, a position to give pause, then flip ourselves over, all the while lifting our legs off the ground lest a crampon dig in, and perhaps snap an ankle. One of us doesn't stop until he barrels into Joe, standing like a crossing guard where the slope levels off. In 1994, a woman in her early twenties climbed not far from here with friends; they made themselves into human sleds, until the laughter ended, when in a sudden and growing mist, she shot past the headwall and into a deep crevasse. Her name is on the wall at the Sherman Adams Summit Building.
Joe's pack weighs 24 pounds. He tells us that these 24 pounds will let him survive any conditions on Earth. On the side of the pack he carries a short-handled, steel-bladed shovel. It weighs next to nothing; hardware stores carry them for $10. We trek across the ridge until we come to hard pack. We dig what looks like a grave–just deep enough and long enough to hold one of us. If we're ever caught in a storm, if it's 20 below and blowing 80, this hole can provide just enough warmth away from the wind to give rescuers time to find us. We take turns crawling inside. When I slide under the lip of the cave, it's as claustrophobic as an MRI tube. "It's not the Ritz," Joe says, "but it'll keep you alive."
The night is clear, the stars startlingly so, but in the morning clouds sweep through and descend, and snow starts. Joe's happy; bad weather has joined his trip. We start walking down the Auto Road. Once I'm blown nearly off it. When I look up, the group seems to have walked through a hidden white door. I know I'm fine. I'm standing on the Auto Road; Joe is just ahead. But still…
In time, we hear the snow tractor rumbling toward us from the top, where it had gone earlier to take supplies. Nobody wants to get in.
