This letter investigates the possible coalition of time intervals and patterns in seismic activity during the preparation process of consecutive sizeable seismic events (i.e., MS >= 5.9). During periods of low-level seismic activity, stress processes in the crust accumulate energy at the seismogenic area, while larger seismic events act as a decongesting mechanism that releases considerable amounts of that energy. Monthly mean seismicity rates have been introduced as a tool to monitor this energy management system and to divert this information into an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system. The purpose of the neuro-fuzzy model is to identify and to simulate the possible relationship between mean seismicity rates and time intervals among consecutive sizeable earthquakes. Successful training of the neuro-fuzzy model results in a real-time online processing mechanism that is capable of estimating the time interval between the latest and the next forthcoming sizeable seismic event.

Is There A Place For Gays In Sports?
January 31st 2013 00:22
I was getting ready to write my Super Bowl preview when i was looking what was one NFL.com and i found an article saying that the 49ers's Chris Culiver said "i do not want any gays on our team, get them outta here". This got me thinking that if there was an openly gay player on any team in the NFL,would they be accepted or would they be ridiculed. I wonder how the players would react to having a gay man in the locker room, and if the fans would make fun of him. But then i realized that it should not matter if a athlete is gay or straight, if he wants to play the game of football he should have as much of a chance as a straight man. he should not have to worry about that he will be judged or made fun by fans or even his teammates. While im sure this might not happen in the near future, as evidenced by many players openly saying that they would not want a gay player on their team. what gives NFL players the right to say that a gay guy should not be able to play with team. i will draw back to the first black athlete, Jackie Robinson, a baseball player who broke down the color barrier in sports. i do not know for a fact if he was harassed by fans and players at first, but i would think that he was. I think that what is needed is for a gay player to play in the NFL or any sport and to show the world that they have the same ability to play as anyone else, the same way Robinson did. while i do not think that this will happen for a while because many players would not even want to know if a teammate was gay. Culiver said "if a player is gay, i do not wanna know, say that 10 years later". It is ignorance like this that will delay any openly gay player from being in any sport. i truly hope that there will be a time when gay players could b in sports, but the reality seems to be that it will not happen for awhile.
I am interested what everyone has to say about this, please leave a comment below.

Complaints pile up on payment processor
Local SPJ chapter and others say they have been shorted
The San Francisco company Acteva, entrusted to process payments for hundreds of nonprofits and small businesses, is the subject of more than 100 complaints to the Better Business Bureau.
Dozens of allegations posted on the Golden Gate BBB's website are similar: small companies and charities signed deals with Acteva to process payments such as those made by event attendees and never received their money.
Several organizations in San Diego County are affected, including the local chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists, which says it was left holding the bag for $6,000 after its annual banquet.
"It's a bad hit," said J.W. August, an investigative producer at 10News and president of the local SPJ chapter.
In retrospect, August says, he wishes he had checked the company out before this year's banquet. But the company always paid up in previous years, he said.
"We save money for rainy days and will probably be able to cover it, but we are a small nonprofit and this hurts," he said.
No one answered the main switchboard at Acteva's Northern California offices Wednesday or Thursday and none of several voice-mail messages were returned. U-T Watchdog reached Acteva executive Brian Hoover on Thursday. He promised to have someone return the call but no one has yet.
Robin Weaver is a volunteer with the San Diego chapter of the American Medical Writers Association.
She said the group hired Acteva to process payments for attendees at the regional conference in May. They received some payments but are still owed almost $2,800, Weaver said.
"I've contacted them over 25 times by phone and another several dozen times by email," she said. "They're very sympathetic but I still don't have the check."
Miramar College is owed more than $9,000, according to one of 114 complaints listed the BBB chapter's website, although college Vice President Brett Bell said the complaint did not come directly from the administration.
In response to the allegations, the BBB revoked Acteva's accreditation and downgraded the company to an F. BBB officials also are cooperating with complainants who are reaching out to one another.
The apparent fraud spawned a website called ActevaSucks.info, where former customers have swapped stories about money they are owed. The website claims that Acteva owes its customers more than $2 million.
"Do not use Acteva ever," the site warns.
Orange County web designer Jason Brown said he launched the site in April to warn others after his wife's group was stiffed for $65,000.
"I started looking around and that's when I started seeing complaints here, issues there," Brown said. "They lost their accreditation at BBB. I heard the same stories my wife was telling me, verbatim."
Days after the site was live, the company began making weekly payments to his wife's organization, Brown said. But the checks stopped coming over the summer.
"Now she's owed north of $20,000," Brown said.
Renata Brillinger of the California Climate & Agriculture Network wishes she had heard about the allegations before she hired Acteva to handle payments for the Sonoma County nonprofit's summer policy summit.

Full detailed profile on Tate Harmon Played by Chris Beetem on One Life To Live Daytime Soap Opera.
Chris Beetem
Birthday: 1969-08-08
In the limo, when Adriana expresses that she wants to call Rex, she realizes she's lost her phone. After Tate assures her she can call Rex when they get to NY, Adriana gives him tips for his appearance on The View. With talk about Tate's life, he admits that he's never been in love before then says, "I'm just an average guy." However, Adriana disagrees, "You couldn't be more wrong."
At home, Adriana takes a brief call from Layla then hears from Rex saying that Todd and Blair were arrested for breaking into an adoption agency, "I called the cops on them." After Rex promises to call her later, Tate arrives but Adriana says it's not a goodtime. "What did Rex do now?" Tate asks. When Adrian explains that it's not Rex, and that people are backing out of business dealings, Tate announces, "I'm going to be on the TV show "The View" today!" Adriana is overwhelmed with excitement, "I can't believe Expose is going to get all this free publicity!" Although Adriana is reluctant when Tate first asks her to go to NY with him, with a bit of persuasion, she agrees! When Adriana goes to take a quick shower, her cell phone rings and Tate takes her phone!
At Adriana's, Rex arrives to find her sharing dinner with Tate, "What's going on?" Just as Adriana explains that it is only dinner, Tate says he needs to leave for his first sports-casting job. But before he leaves, Tate reads the fortune on his teabag: Embrace the challenge and you will win the prize. Rex quickly reminds Tate that he was on his way out! Once Tate's gone, Adriana says, "You need to relax around him! You can't freak-out every time you see us together." Her statement leads Rex to tell Adriana about his trip, "I won't be here to see if you're together. I'm leaving for Chicago." After Rex explains his need to deter Todd, the couple makes love before Rex leaves to catch his flight. Once Rex is gone, Adriana tunes in to Tate's first TV appearance.
At Adriana's, Rex expresses just how much he loves her until there's knock on the door. It's Tate with breakfast! Tate informs them that his dream has come true, "I've been offered a sportscasting position." After Tate reassures her that he's not blowing off Exposed, happy for him, Adriana hugs him. Rex jumps up and snaps for Tate to get his arms off his Adriana! When Adriana goes to answer the phone, Rex warns Tate to stay away from his girlfriend! In a round about way, Tate taunts Rex about his insecurities until Rex pushes Tate to the ground! "Rex!" Adriana screams and blames Rex for starting the fight!
Just then, Layla walks in and rants that Todd is dragging her sister to Chicago to follow up on a lead about his son! Rex takes Layla out into the hall, gets the full story, asks Layla to stay with Adriana while Tate's there, then leaves.
Still at the apartment, Adriana tells Tate that she told Rex about what he said, "If I wasn't with Rex, you'd make a play for me." Tate plays on that and says, "Oh, no wonder he attacked me!" After Tate leaves, although Adriana seems distracted with Tate, Layla questions why Rex is so concerned with news about Todd's son?
Noticing Tate's eyes on Rex and Adriana, Layla warns him not to interfere in their relationship. However, in a roundabout way, Tate says, "Everything is fair game." When Evangeline shows up, Tate grills her with trick questions about love and life until Layla says, "Tate, I get the point."
Rex watches as Tate goes to Adriana and comments on the place, "Looks great and so do you." Although Adriana asks Tate to keep their relationship professional, Adriana appears jealous when Tate talks about his female fans. Tate leans in close and implies, "Don't worry, I know you're just acting this way because Rex is here." Just as Adriana warns Tate that she's in love with Rex, the doors are opened to the crowd.
As Tate sits down to autograph pictures for the customers, Rex questions Adriana about her conversation with Tate and wonders why she appears so guilty. Adriana denies that anything was said and is surprised to hear that Rex understands why she hired Tate, "He really draws the customers in." However, as Adriana watches the women gawk over Tate, she is clearly envious - and even more shocked when Tate kisses Layla as a way to get rid of the over-friendly fans! Later when Adriana questions Layla about her relationship with Tate, Rex overhears and confronts Adriana, "Whose acting jealous now?"
At The Palace, as Tate flirts with Adriana, she says, "We have some things to get straight." She goes on to say that his actions are stressing out Rex, "I don't like seeing him upset." Tate takes her hands and assures Adriana that he wouldn't do anything to hurt her relationship with Rex. Just then, two female fans of Tate's approach his table asking if he would like to go up to their hotel room with them. However, Tate introduces Adriana as his girlfriend. Although Adriana plays along - as a favor to Tate - she is caught off guard when he takes her in a passionate kiss! After the girls leave, Tate explains he thought the kiss was the only way to get rid of the fans. Although he apologizes, Tate says, "If you didn't have a boyfriend, I'd kiss you a whole lot more." When Adriana snaps and warns Tate to cool it, Tate agrees to back-off!

Made from quartzite, it was painted with red ochre indicating a possible symbolic importance. It may be one of the earliest representations of pigmentation application found. It was discovered in 1999, during an archaeological survey by Lutz Fiedler, state archaeologist of Hesse, Germany, in a river terrace deposit on the north bank of the Draa River a few kilometers south of the Moroccan town of Tan-Tan.
It is often categorised as one of the Venus figurines, although there is some controversy amongst archaeologists as to its nature and origin. To its discoverer and others, e.g., Robert Bednarik , the object probably had a general human-like shape that was accentuated by carving it with a stone-wedge; some artificial smudge stains are interpreted as remnants of pigments used by humans to further accentuate its human-like form. For others, for instance Professor Stanley Ambrose of the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign , it is a total fortuitous event that natural weathering and erosion have produced this human-like object.

I took a ride yesterday, left Nevada City, rode up Hwy 20 into Washington, over to Malakoff, up into Allegahany and Forest City, before heading down Henness pass to Hwy 49 for the ride home. The weatherman was calling for temps near 100 degrees in the valley so it was a perfect day up on the ridges.
Hey, Oldtrucks, if you're still following this thread. From your route description it sounds like you connected to Allegahany via German Bar/Plumbago Mine Road. I've heard that section is pretty rough - steep with rocks. Do you think a late model KLR can make it through there if it's dry or is it plated dirtbike only type terrain?
I've been here and there in the area (Washington to Malikoff, Forest City, Allegahany, Just did Henness this last sept.) but not that particular route. I tried two weekends ago but there was snow on the sides of the roads and it was real wet and sloppy long before the turnoff so I turned back. Probably going to try next summer.

Tampa, Fla. (February 27, 2008) – The Saint Leo women's tennis team (2-3) swept the University of Tampa (2-8) in non-conference action Wednesday afternoon at the UT Tennis Complex in Tampa.
The Lions started their afternoon with remarkable play in each of their doubles matches. The Lions would sweep the Spartans in three straight matches with the combination of the Lions' Taylor Cleaves (So., Norwell, Mass.) and Shaena Keefe (So., Spring Hill, Fla.) being the most striking Lions' win of the afternoon. The pair went up against the Spartans duo of Caitlin Scudder and Emily Kennedy with the Lions coming out on top 8-4. The duo of Gina Schifano (So., Tampa, Fla.) and Veronica Queen (Fr., Valrico, Fla.) were also imposing in their match as they were victorious 8-2.
The outstanding doubles action gave Saint Leo all the momentum heading into singles play. The Lions received points from their one through six position players in the sweep of the Spartans. The most impressive victories on the day for the Lions came at number one player, Lina Benkirane and their number six player Taylor Cleaves. Benkiraine (So., Casablanca, Morocco) defeated the Tampa one seed by the scores of 6-0, 6-2. Meanwhile, Cleaves took control of her match early and did not let up as she won 6-1, 6-3.
The Lions women return to action again with a home match Thursday, February 28 at 3:00 p.m. against the University of Puerto Rico.

CBB Review: Pocket Radar
I recently had a chance to review the Pocket Radar before it went to the market a few weeks back. I took it to six games over two different weekends at Boston College baseball games with them facing off against both Florida State and Georgia Tech.
I sat in the first row behind the plate which is about 20 feet behind the catcher and received so-so results with it picking up the velocity of the pitcher about 50 percent of the time. I thought that I would have picked up more pitchers with this so I was disappointed.

Davide Tonizzo has created a spectacular, one-of-a-kind piece for the Ikea Auktion. This event will take place during the Design Exchange Intersection Gala. Twenty designers, architects and celebrities were asked to create objects using products from the Ikea catalogue. Each piece will go to silent auction with proceeds to benefit the Design Exchange, Canada's Design Museum.
Tonizzo's contribution to the event is a bookcase entitled You Can Dance...
"When designing the piece, I thought of Sweden and when I think of Sweden I think of ABBA," says the designer. "All of a sudden, the chorus from Dancing Queen is in my head and I'm time-travelling back to the '70s disco era."
With the disco theme in mind, Tonizzo looked to the most iconic image of the era for inspiration, the poster from the movie Saturday Night Fever. The bookcase's components mimic John Travolta's famous pose from the movie and give the furniture piece dynamic movement.
Using Ivar shelving, Tonizzo has created an angular expression of the human form doing the "Hustle.." The various limbs and sections create interesting nooks and crannies for books, collectables, DVDs and CDs. The depth will also hold vinyl records if you still have your disco collection.
"As I design furniture throughout the year for manufacturers, I wanted to create a fun, iconic object for the party atmosphere of the Gala," adds Tonizzo.
To give the piece an extra bit of discoteque chic, the designer added a row of Ikea's Dioder LED lights to one of the hands. The lights change colour and mimics the boogie ball in the movie poster.
Davide Tonizzo is a Toronto-based industrial designer with a diverse range of clients. Past projects include furniture, ceramics, handbags, bath wares and transportation products. His projects have received numerous awards and have been featured in international design publications. Find out more about Davide Tonizzo at designd-online.com.
The Design Exchange Intersection Gala will take place at the Design Exchange on Nov. 16 at 8 pm. This event will re-launch the Design Exchange as Canada's Design Museum with an unprecedented experience: creative disciplines and cultures converge in a large-scale blowout featuring a selection of Canada's most iconic designers, architects, chefs, filmmakers, and artists.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by buggsroo Rayon delicious I bought this in black or dark indigo but it looks more black to me. It fits fabulously, very oversized and it feels like a dream. I love this top, I also have ordered the green. I like my tops oversized so ordered it in large, but if you are petite maybe go down a size. This is a great summer item, so FP let's have a few more colours, how about white? 3.19.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by -fp-wraith- Love this Top!! I love this top! Material is great, not too thin, its large but in a good way, with the back longer than the front. The amber color is really flattering and the ballet color is nice too. I got size M which is a little oversize for me (140 lbs. med. build) but they are great for just throwing on. Small would probably have been ok too. Highly recommend this versatile shirt! Love you Free People!! xxoo 7.8.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by charcolgirl Very High Low, but Otherwise Nice Very soft and comfortable shirt. I ordered in ballet, and the color is pretty accurate. Just be aware that the back is super long, but thats usually to be expected. 6.26.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by redoak great top I LOVE this top!! Nice, jersey-like fabric that dresses up or down. It's way oversized of course but that's why I like it. If you tie knots in the edges of the back panel, it is not so huge and hangs very nicely. Even the acid-y greenish gold color is OK on me. I would order more except I hate the other colors. I mean, that beige pink color looks like someone washed it in hot water with a red sweater. Yuck. So if they add more colors, I will buy more of them 5.20.2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by oleanderlane ordering a second color :-) yes, this is pretty perfect! lovely soft slouchy style which is thin enough that it can be worn tucked also, for an alternate even more stylish look. I am 5' 2" and 103 lbs, got the xs, which is plenty big but somehow doesn't look TOO big. the amber color is great, the quality is at the high end of FP's usualâ¦.. 5.11.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by volcanorain comfortable I like this top, it is very soft. Casual and easy to throw on the mustard green color is quite unusual. I do not usually like a pocket in a shirt but this one is cute because of the long back, it gives it some style. 4.4.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by NezGirl Yes yes YES!! I love the fit of this top! It's insanely comfortable. This top is a thinner material but not sheer. It's perfect for spring! I like how you can wear it off the shoulder or on both shoulders and get 2 different looks out of this top.It is a bit loose so if you are looking for a more fitted tee, you cansize down. I just went with my regular size and it fit wonderfully. It's a bit oversized but that is the point. I bought the amber color, which is a gold shirt with a minor hint of green in some light settings. Beautiful color, nicer in person. The pocket is drapey on the top, which I thought was a fun attribute instead of your standard pocket tee. If you are thinking about it, go for it! 2.21.2014

Negligence may seem like a fuzzy, vague concept. This is partially a result of the nature of a negligence claim, which often accuses a person of failing to act in a particular way.
Legal concepts are tricky enough, but they are even more troublesome when illegal actions are defined by what a person fails to do, as is often the case in negligence cases.
While negligence laws vary widely by state, learning how to prove negligence in a personal injury lawsuit requires gaining knowledge of the four basic elements of a negligence claim.
Negligence is a theory that may apply in a wide variety of cases, including wrongful death claims or a car accident lawsuit.
When determining how to prove negligence occurred, personal injury attorneys must consider the four basic elements of a negligence case. These include:
While the four elements of negligence may seem straight-forward, proving them in a negligence case usually requires a great deal of planning, legal research, and investigative work.
Negligence is usually defined by decisions made in prior court cases. For example, your state likely has hundreds of previously decided medical malpractice lawsuits that provide the foundation for tomorrow's negligence claims against doctors.
Due to the complexity of most negligence claims, many plaintiffs prefer to consult with a local injury attorney before filing their claim.

ALBANY - Jack McEeneny has dropped the gavel in the state Assembly for the last time.
The retiring assemblyman closed out the 2012 session Monday -- and his long career in politics.
Gaveling out the session has been the job of the Albany assemblyman for his 20 years in office. He does that when the Assembly is in recess, because the Capitol is in his district. It's a formality performed so the legislature can reconvene without an order from the governor.
McEneny chose not to run for re-election. Patricia Fahey was sworn in Friday as his successor.

If you've been sued for a debt, including credit card debt, you have legal options. While some individuals may choose to fight the lawsuit, many more turn to bankruptcy to completely halt the process.
Learn about your legal options with help from a local bankruptcy attorney. A bankruptcy lawyer can help you evaluate if you should fight the lawsuit or if you should turn to bankruptcy.
Connect with an attorney near you today. Simply fill out the free bankruptcy review form below or call 877-833-2410 to arrange a free, no-obligation consultation.
Some debt lawsuits may come from unknown companies. This is because debt collection companies commonly buy and sell old debts. Even if you are sued by a company you've never heard of, they may have the legal right to do so.
After a credit account has gone into default, credit card companies or banks will attempt to collect the debt themselves—but only for a short period of time. If they are unsuccessful, they will sell the debt—and the right to collect it—to an outside company, often for pennies on the dollar.
And if you continue to ignore the calls and letters from these creditors—and if they think they have a winnable case against you—they may end up filing a lawsuit.
Filing personal bankruptcy may be one powerful option when faced with a debt lawsuit. That's because bankruptcy comes with a special protection called the automatic stay.
The automatic stay is a court order that is issued with a successful bankruptcy filing that prohibits most creditors from any contact—including repossession, wage garnishment and lawsuits.
With your debt lawsuit on hold, the automatic stay gives you the freedom to focus on your bankruptcy options. There are two main types of personal bankruptcy, which offer unique solutions: Chapter 7 and Chapter 13.
Chapter 7 bankruptcy, also called "straight bankruptcy", is designed to completely eliminate credit card debt, medical debts, personal loans and other unsecured debts—the kinds that often lead to lawsuits.
In Chapter 7 bankruptcy, the court may be able to take certain assets in order to repay creditors. However, not everything is up for grabs. State laws protect some possessions through exemptions. In fact, many Chapter 7 filers have no non-exempt assets, meaning creditors get nothing.
Filing a Chapter 7 case involves determining your eligibility to file under the means test—a requirement that compares your household income to the median income for your household size in your state.
A bankruptcy attorney can help you determine if you qualify for filing Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
Chapter 13 bankruptcy, also called "wage-earner's bankruptcy", creates a structured, court-approved repayment of debts. Chapter 13 is often used by those who:
Filing Chapter 13 bankruptcy involves creating a workable three-to-five year plan, in which the debtor makes a single monthly payment to the bankruptcy court, which is then distributed to creditors. Secured creditors (such as mortgage lenders) are given priority in the plan, and unsecured debts are often reduced or eliminated.
If you're being sued by creditors, or fear that a debt lawsuit is around the corner, get help today. A bankruptcy attorney can further explain how filing bankruptcy may end creditor harassment and give you breathing room from debts.
Simply fill out our free bankruptcy evaluation form today to schedule your free, no-obligation consultation with a bankruptcy lawyer near you.

Morane-Saulnier MS 230
Morane-Saulnier 230 Preflight Soundtrack Video
I had the privilege to shoot some images make a Morane-Saulnier 230 preflight soundtrack video, as it completed its final hanger oil change and took flight at eleven o'clock here in sunny Florida on Jan. 26th 2013.
I am working on finalizing my MLP with Moose Peterson, and yesterday the 25th, we spent an afternoon at The Fantasy of Flight, where Moose was tipped off that Andy Salter's engine rebuild was finished and testing on the 1930's French trainer was completed. Moose and I soon drove out to meet owner/pilot Tom Leaver at his hanger about 20 minutes from The Fantasy of Flight. Moose is a consummate airplane photographer and has many connections within the industry and soon Tom and Moose were hitting it off. The plan was set, we were to return today, the 26th for the flight.
The plane is one of the last of 1,000 M230's built by the French as WWI flight trainers. One of these aircraft is featured in the film Blue Max. Yet what is truly unique it that engine and mechanic have been swapping energy for more than 23 years. This last go around had the engine under a 'proper' rebuild for the past four years. You have to give Tom and Andy a tenacity award for keeping the dream of flight for the old war bird alive. Tom is just as unique as the mechanic and plane, he is a verbal walking historian, he knows were all the other Ms 230 are, in which museum, where to find parts in Europe, ect,ect.. He also told us that he had flown across the English channel on two separate occasions (many years ago) with this bird !
For the moment I just wanted to get these images up and the word out…. that the world has another 1930 Morane-Saulnier MS 230 in the sky, thanks to Tom Leaver and a very special mechanic Andy Salter. Two very special men with a common passion. This machine is only flying but for the grace of their commitment to see it endure the test of time…it was an enormous privilege to witness the pistons, prop and fabric take to the air for the first time after so many years in rebuild….what a treat…thanks Tom, Andy and Moose….

Sprint has NO LTE. None. Fell through when clearwire filed for bankruptcy. Atnt has h+ which is 4g and much faster than most carriers 3g as well as the popular lte. t-mobile, no lte 4g, but like atnt they are gsm and have an hspa network as well.

Kabare — Craning their necks through the window of a medical centre in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), a dozen ex-combatants from the recent civil war watch images of sexually transmitted infections flashing on a television screen.
These men and women have just laid down their weapons in one of Africa's nastiest wars and are now coming to terms with the unseen danger of HIV. It is widely assumed that more than a decade of fighting between foreign-backed rebels, Congolese militia and the national army has spread the virus in eastern DRC, while crippling health services.
"I behaved badly. We took women, we raped because we had weapons; we were the 'maitre de terrain' [masters of the land], we made the laws. I slept with so many women I couldn't count how many," said Bahati, 26, who had just reported to the Kabare reorientation centre in South Kivu Province, run by the National Commission for Disarmament, Demobilisation and Re-insertion, known as CONADER.
A few days before, Bahati had belonged to the Rassemblement Congolais pour la Democratie, or RCD-Goma, one of several armed groups now integrated into a unified national army.
The Kabare reorientation centre in the hills 25km west of Bukavu, the capital of South Kivu, was receiving up to 1,000 former fighters each week in July. Across the country an estimated 180,000 ex-combatants are expected to go through a disarmament, demobilisation and reintegration programme that includes HIV/AIDS sensitisation.
There are fears that the short instruction period will be of small benefit, and infection rates will spike when the demobilised soldiers return to their rural areas.
Most male soldiers are in the 18-to-24 age group, which typically has higher levels of testosterone, aggression and willingness to take risks, and relatively low levels of maturity - a combination that can boost the probability of HIV infection.
"They have been part of armed groups that move continually, in which there is no sexual discipline, and which commit widespread rapes and acts of sexual violence. Even if we can't talk of sexual violence, the likelihood is that they have slept with numerous partners," said Brigitte Bampile, head of voluntary counselling and testing at the Kabare centre.
"I knew nothing about HIV/AIDS while I was fighting. We left our women at home so we satisfied our needs no matter how, when or where," admitted Julian, 39, a former fighter.
"These rapes have nothing to do with sexual need - people don't realise they are using rape as a weapon of destruction," said Christine Schuler-Deschryver, of the German government's aid agency, GTZ.
HIV programmes at Kabare are limited to awareness building, information about the virus, how it is transmitted and why ex-combatants are at particular risk of infection. A counselling and testing facility, supported by the Association for Social development and Protection of the Environment, was set up a few months ago.
"Our first goal is to know their HIV status, so that we know what levels of infection are going back into the communities," said Bampile. "Our second goal is to change their sexual behaviour, but this takes time and cannot be achieved in five days. What we encourage, however, is a more responsible behaviour vis-à-vis their sero-status."
Not only the men need testing: Hélène, 26, slept with several men while fighting for the RCD before falling pregnant - she has no idea who the father is.
"We had no means to survive so I sold my body to the men, and in return I received money to buy food and soap. We had no condoms, but I knew nothing about HIV/AIDS anyway, so I had nothing to worry about," she recalled. "I have already taken a test, but I never went to receive the results because I am sure it was positive. Now I am deciding whether or not to take another test."
Few were taking HIV tests, said Gilbert Kjabeka, coordinator of CONADER in South Kivu. "This is due to the lack of discretion. They live in dormitories, there is very little privacy and an individual will fear that others may see him go for a test. We need to find a formula where we can guarantee 100 percent anonymity and security."
One option would be to make HIV tests mandatory, but Bampile said this was highly unlikely. "Given the high-risk nature of former combatants, it wouldn't be a bad thing if testing was obligatory, as that would help us and the population, but it is the fundamental right of an individual to know, or to remain ignorant about, their sero-status."
According to the centre's statistics, 5 percent of ex-combatants taking the test are HIV-positive, but this figure has been met with scepticism.
"Look at the neighbouring countries - the prevalence rate in Tanzania's army is close to 15 percent, and 10 percent in Uganda's army," said Dr Rebecca Adlington, medical supervisor of the aid group Médecins Sans Frontières, which runs an AIDS treatment centre in Bukavu. "Since there is no intervention on prevention, care and treatment [in the Congolese militias], the true figure is likely to be higher than five percent."

The X Factor
Which Famous Bro-Band Is Emblem3's New BFF?
What would you think about Emblem3 being best friends with brothers from mothers of other brothers? Can you even wrap your mind around that double helix double dose? OMG, SCIENCE! Unfortunately, no matter how hard we prayed about it, the Stromberg/Chadwick clan hasn't yet hooked up with Hanson. (Can you imagine how magical that would be??)
But the boys from E3 — Keaton and Wes Stromberg and their BFF broseph Drew Chadwick — have been kicking it Huntington style with brothers Benji and Joel Madden of Good Charlotte, and also tweeting about it. Why the hangs? As we mentioned earlier in the week, the Madden boys are just two of the many awesome industry folks helping the X Factor Season 2 alum with their debut album.
On January 10, Drew namedropped the brocollab, tweeting "Bout to grab some dank food wit da boyyyzz@benjaminmadden @JoelMadden@wesleystromberg @KeatonStromberg what kinda food should we get??"
Burgers, brah.

Checking in from Death Valley. Chris, did you guys check the Geologists Cabin, I was there, but I may have been at the Queen of Sheba Mine when you guys rode into Butte Valley.
A view of the mine works
Ready to ride at sunrise, the days are just too short in DV after daylight savings time.
Some new stuff in Mengel Pass. The big storm in August created a lot of ruts, guess NPS equates ruts with wilderness.
The Mengel Pass hillclimb...
Well damn...
Here's the story on the poles and ribbon blockage at Mengel Pass, the NPS wants to prevent the ruts from eroding, so the approach on the far right is blocked. The main road is open.
Some natural carnage over at Warm Springs Camp.
My friend David W, a Jeep guy, knew of a couple of mines I hadn't seen yet, so we went for a hike on Friday, and also investigated a hidden cache. Access requires moving a cement block, and a lot of rocks. I put it all back in place after the ingress.
Stellas Cabin took a beating from the storm. Some of the ruts at Stellas...
So I missed Browneye, and Spafxr, but Slidewayes, and tbarstow stopped to say hi.

Iranian commander predicts massive deployment of US police forces in major cities [Voltaire Network]: "A senior Iranian commander said that the US plans massive deployments of police forces in major cities fearing the eruption of popular protests similar to the recent developments in the Middle East, the Arab world and the European countries.
The Deputy Head of Iran's Armed Forces Joint Chiefs of Staff Brigadier General Massoud Jazayeri described the deployment of US police forces in cities as 'military rule,' which basically aims at a quick crackdown on political unrest in the country under a 'threadbare' pretext of preventing terror attacks in the US.
He noted how incumbent US President Barack Obama has followed in the path of his predecessor, George W. Bush, in inflicting huge costs on US taxpayers through the continuation of the Bush-era war policies.
Difficult living conditions, unemployment, an increasing suicide rate among US troops and the Americans' inability to pay off their mortgages are among other hardships the Obama administration has brought about for the people in the United States, Jazayeri added..."

Original recipe yields 4 servings
Amount per serving ({{servings}} total)
Based on a 2,000 calorie diet
Ready In
This was so delicious. I did not change a thing. I made this for a dinner party and everyone raved about how flavorful the shrimp was. I wish I could give this recipe 6 stars
Easy and tasty, but I made it in the oven so it was probably not as good as it would have been on the grill! Keep for summer time...
Tried the glaze on Mahi Mahi and baked it (poured 1/2 the glaze on top) - delicious... saved 1/2 the glaze, heated it until thick and bubbly, and poured over mahi when serving. This is a keeper ...

Ingrowing Toenail SurgeryWhen a nail is cut incorrectly or due to trauma a small spicule of nail will penetrate the flesh and cause the redness and pain associated with an ingrowing toenail. This is because the body is trying to expel the nail, which it recognises as a 'foreign body'. Often the wound becomes infected and will improve with antibiotics but usually until the nail spike is removed the problem will persist. Occasionally removing a small piece of the nail will solve the problem but usually a wedge of nail needs to be removed under local anaesthetic.
SurgeryThis involves a local anaesthetic given into the base of the toe. Once the toe has gone numb the procedure will be pain free and generally there is very little pain afterwards.
A wedge of nail is removed and the root of the nail destroyed using a strong chemical called phenol. This should prevent the nail wedge from regrowing. The chemical is washed out with alcohol and the toe bandaged.
Please come to clinic with a slipper or sandal big enough to accommodate a large bandage.
The procedure takes about 15 minutes and you should be able to go home straight afterwards. You will be able to return to normal activities after 24 hours but the wound will take about 8 weeks to heal. This shouldn't stop you from wearing normal shoes and exercising soon after surgery.

Sunday I am going to edit Mindline. This is less work and more pleasure, because I literally don't remember any of the book except that last few scenes. It'll be like reading something new to me (that I'll also be able to change to please me better!). I have to work up the cover and take care of some other administrivia stuff (like the Alysha's Fall Kickstarter–update on that coming Monday).
…but other than that, I am done with the Writing New Things deadlines I had for this year…
…and I feel like the inside of my head has erupted with popcorn jaguars, all tumbling around with glee.
What idea should I do!
What project should I dabble in!
Should I drop a few words on that?
Should I paint this?
How about sketching! I could sketch!
Ooh, Morgan book 2!
Ooh, Faerie Farmer!
Oooh, Alysha! Jokka! Some short stories! Dragons!
Wait, I could do NOTHING! Or catch up with accounting–I wonder how much money I've made this year? Wait, Christmas cards! I could send all the cards! OH WAIT I AM SO GOOD AT HARD WORK I COULD DO ALLLLL THESE THINGS!

Financing Options
What is my best financing option?
Whether you're looking to buy equipment or simply need working capital, different situations call for different solutions with different financing options. And that's where we can help you make a wise decision.
With years of experience helping other businesses, we understand this is your business, and you deserve individual attention. Together we can find the ideal solution for your needs. We'll take the time to put together the best financing package available, with an amount and term that suits your business, at a competitive rate. Options to consider include:
MasterCard BusinessCard® CardTravel and entertainment expenses are a cost of doing business. But they don't have to be a cause of concern. When you and your selected employees carry a MasterCard BusinessCard® Card, it's easier to control T&E expenses. You can set individual spending limits for each employee. And to assist you in monitoring account usage, we can provide detailed statements of expenses.
Overdraft Protection
In your personal life, an overdrawn check can be an embarrassment. In business, it can affect your credit. A simple safeguard for your everyday cash flow, overdraft protection can prevent problems with suppliers, employees, and your customers. Should a check be presented when there are insufficient funds, your Line of Credit automatically covers the amount you need.
Import and Export Letters of Credit are an equally valuable resource for importers and exporters. We give you access to a network of over 9,800 branches in 77 countries. This means you can take advantage of our strengths, with the convenience and reliability of our Letters of Credit for a variety of international trade activities.
Other Financing OptionsNew and growing businesses have special needs and considerations. So you have a range of other financing options to consider. HSBC participates in numerous governmental programs, making federal, state, and county assistance available to your company if you qualify. For example, SBA guaranteed loans are a government-sponsored solution. We are one of the leading SBA lenders in New York State.

Now Joe and his girlfriend, Carly, must find the money before the Cartel, the cops, or his own Syndicate finds them. Carly owns his heart, and Joe will do anything to protect her. He should run, but he's determined to expose whoever betrayed him and deliver the cash.
One bullet at a time.
That's the situation in "One Bullet," the new crime thriller from
In many cases, Mark said, it's only when people face that kind of situation that you see them for who they really are. That's why he delighted in throwing obstacles, injuries and betrayals at
"Early detective characters were cowboys in a city. There's always a girl — there's not a plot without a girl — there's always a bad guy, a McGuffin (or plot device), a bag of cash or a case of jewels," he said. "It's a collision of people that are doomed in the same way characters in Greek and Norse myths are doomed, falling forward into the plot. They can't help themselves."
Mark's previous books include the thrillers "Hired Guns" and "The Cultist," and the
Mark began writing pulp-style thrillers for a website called "Beat to a Pulp," and an early version of "One Bullet" was produced for this site. However, he credits PCWA member Wayne Garrett with questioning a portion of the story that got him thinking of it in deeper terms.
"He got the hamster wheel turning," Mark said, which led to research into things like money laundering and hacking. As is usual for novelists, most of the research is
Mark makes his living as an editor-for-hire, freelancing for novelists, tech companies, non-fiction authors, academics and more. His short fiction has been published in "Between There" Volume 2, "Meow," "50-to-1," "Blazing Adventures," "The Dead Mule School of Southern Literature," and the Emerald Coast Review.
"Editing pays the bills, and writing keeps me off of rooftops and out of sanitariums," he said. "Anybody going into writing for the money is crazy or at least misinformed."
Mark's family came to
"Comics were friendly. They were short in pages, but epic in storytelling," he said on his Amazon.com biographical note. "The point is that when I wrote/drew the last page, I had told a story."
He soon began emulating Edgar Rice Burroughs and other authors he admired. He wrote his first (self-described "horrible") novel during college in the mid-1980s, under the influence of Douglas Adams.
"When I was young, I went through a phase of reading Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler," he said. "The people in those books were so real to me — people who made terrible mistakes, but that's real. The things that drove them were relatable to me."
"They may be knuckleheads or killers, but at least they're attempting to do the right thing," he said. "The heart of every great story is good versus evil, the moral conflict. A story mines that, or it's just a newscast."
Mark said he's fascinated by characters who make all the wrong decisions for all the right reasons, like those who throw caution to the wind for the sake of love: "That trumps everything. Love trumps reason, danger, all of it."

Hungry? Restaurants now open
Rustic Italian, coastal Italian, coastal breakfasts and more
Eddie V's Prime Seafood
1270 Prospect St., La Jolla. (858) 459-5500; eddiev.com
Gulf Cuisine makes it far out west with Eddie V's, originally from Austin (now there are eight Eddies).
We made the La Jolla location's opening on Monday night. This double-deck restaurant is upscale, with an unbeatable view of the Cove's inky waters, wreathed (mostly) by a twinkly shoreline.
First impression: Rich, single doctors (or those who slipped off their wedding rings) would feel at home here.
But even we found ourselves melting into its vibe upstairs in its V Lounge. "Someone to Watch Over Me" played live on the piano and upright bass. The gallant staff (some imported from other Eddies). The big collins' glass filled with an American mule (SKYY Ginger Vodka, gingerale and lime). Ahhh. Now this is adult relaxation.
"Like a Michael Mann movie," one of us said. The other considered the $19 lobster tacos, but got the jumbo lump crab fried rice (with egg and beurre blanc sauce: so like a paella) and truffle mac 'n cheese (mineral-y good black truffles, truffle oil, a good béchamel sauce on corkscrew pasta). These Eddies have a record of success, since their 2000 founding, so you hold them to a different standard of opening night. Our Eddie didn't fail to impress. It's in the northernmost Prospect Street point, and occupies the former Chart House. Best seating near the historic fireplace, dating back to the 1894 Green Dragon Colony. Or the V Lounge. Or on the covered upper deck or lower deck, so you can feel the night air.
Caroline's Seaside Café
Scripps Seaside Forum, 8610 Kennel Way, La Jolla. (858) 202-0569
A new breakfast/lunch/brunch spot, but what we're really hungry for is the balcony ocean-view. Okay, and the farm-fresh scrambles (get the popular Mediterranean), griddled paninis (the Caprese panini and tuna melt fly outta there) and burgers (their signature Seaside has blue cheese and sautéed onions). A welcome, tasty addition to a big wooden building. Closes 4 p.m. weekdays, and 3 p.m. weekends.
Crush Italian Cuisine and Wine Lounge
437 S. Hwy 101, Suite 112, Solana Beach. (858) 481-CRUSH (2787); solanabeachcrush.com
Coastal North County feels like it's clinging on the shores of the Mediterranean. So Crush's Bruschetta, Scampi Prawns and Pappardelle Carbonara plates don't feel out of place. Chef Jason Colabove's brightening up Italian classics with seasonal, local ingredients. And their 160-varietal wine list makes us want to do that Italian toast over by the fire pits, "Cento di questi giorni." There's a sister Crush up in Chico, CA. Lunch and dinner. Daily happy hour 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Late-night happy hour 10 p.m. to midnight. Located in the strip mall that Blanca restaurant is leaving.
