Colorlines: A rapidly expanding federal program that checks the immigration statuses of anyone booked into state and local jails is creating SB 1070 like conditions all over the country, according to recently obtained data.
The program, called Secure Communities, sends Immigration and Custom's Enforcement (ICE) information on anyone in police custody. So far, it's resulted in almost 50,000 deportations.
We caught up w/ Florida Congressman and US Senatorial candidate Kendrick Meek during the America's Future Now conference in Washington DC.
He weighed in on a number of topics including the Gulf Oil spill and as heard in this clip Immigration Reform and SB1070. Meek who is a former cop talked about how the new law will create major distrust between Law Enforcement and Immigrants
Immediately after Arizona passed it's controversial anti-immigration law SB 1070, leaders in Texas weighed in and gave their take on it. Some conservative Lawmakers immediately launched a petition drive to Governor Rick Perry, Lt. Governor David Dewhurst, and Speaker of the House Joe Straus demanding that they get serious about dealing with the invasion of illegals that is transforming Texas, and give us a bill that's just as powerful and effective as the one that just became law in Arizona. This peitition was put forth via the Peter Morrison Report.
This week at the Campaign for America's Future Convention in Washington DC, we caught up with young activist from Texas who are set to go see Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson to talk to her about the oil spill and environmental and social justice..
Meamya Christie from Dallas feels the African American community needs to be more aware of the Gulf Oil Spill
Monica Ramos from San Antonio is going to talk to Senator Hutchison about immigration rights and the Dream Act.
Watch live video from mrdaveyd on Justin.tv
Why should folks in Texas be concerned about the new immigration law in Arizona? Because as we speak there are forces right here in the Lone Star state trying to bring the Arizona Apartheid-like law to Texas.. In a recent edition of the Peter Morrison Report a letter petitioning Rick Perry Lt Gov Dehurts and Speaker Straus was sent asking them to follow Arizon's lead.
here's what was sent outhttp://www.morrisonreport.com/fax_test/index.php?faxID=87
We know darn well most of us don't want this law in place. Folks in Texas are gonna have to gear up and get ready to fight..
I'll be suprised if 2010 doesn't go down as a landmark year that we deem the 'Year of the Border'. With Immigration reform a hot topic in Congress, Arizona passing an Apartheid-Jim Crow-like anti-immigration law, drug cartels out of control impacting folks both in Mexico and here in the US and a harsh economic climate that has brought out all sorts of racism directed at Brown folks, there is no choice but to deal with border issues...
*update April 23 2010-Arizona Gov Janet Brewer just signed into law this crazy bill #SB 1070 which will allow police to stop and check your proof of citizen ship. President Obama spoke out and said the Bill is Misguided. Folks are saying he could've been more forceful..Below is a picture that has beenpassed around Twitter that explains this best..
This new law just passed in Arizona is something we must absolutely oppose. It masquarades as a much needed law to crack down on 'illegal immigration', but really it's an excuse to racially profile all types of people who are 'suspected' of being in this country illegally. Translation-if your Brown expect to be engaged by the police. This is not likely to be applied to white people coming from other countries..The whole scheme reminds us of what used to took place in Apartheid, South Africa and currently takes place in Israel/Palestine. With the passing of this new law, we say its time for Public Enemy to redo thjeir classic song 'By the Time I get to Arizona' where they protested Arizona not honoring Dr Martin Luther King's bday.. This time around they need to do it in Spanish.
We continue our interview w/Houston activist and spoken word artist Deniz Lopez, aka Dee-Colonize, who touches upon the history of indigenous and Brown folks in Houston. She says it's still a border town to her. She also discusses the challnge of having Black & Brown unity in the sprawling city. We conclude by touching on police brutality issues. In 2009 60 people were shot by police in Houston and Harris county. Dee-Colonize does a a spoken word piece.

Photos: 10 new frogs discovered in India's great rainforestJeremy Hance
August 09, 2011
New frog, Raorchestes manohari was dubbed 'beautiful' by its discoverers. Photo courtesy of D.P. Kinesh.
Nine of the new species belong to the genus Raorchestes, a genus only found in the Western Ghats, which now includes 39 total species. The tenth species belongs to the Polypedates genus, which was discovered near tea plantations.
One of the new Raorchestes frogs—Raorchestes manohari—was described in the paper in particularly effusive terms: "[This is] one of the most beautiful species with no resemblance to any of the described species of Raorchestes genus.
The ten new frogs were found during 20 self-funded expeditions over the past few years.
"None of the expeditions are funded [by outside groups], all the expeditions were undertaking just by interest by the team members," K.P. Dinesh, one of the researchers, told mongabay.com. IN his six years as a researcher, Dinesh has discovered six new amphibians.
According to Dinesh there are now 167 species of amphibian known from the Western Ghats alone. Astoundingly, 86 percent (145 species) are found only in the Ghats.
Worldwide, amphibians are undergoing an extinction crisis currently unparalleled in the animal world. The IUCN Red List estimates that 41 percent of the world's amphibians are threatened with extinction. Frogs, salamanders, and worm-like caecilians have been battered worldwide by habitat loss, pollution, agricultural chemicals, overexploitation, and climate change, however the biggest impact on amphibians appears to be a fungal disease called chytridiomycosis. This amphibian-plague has wiped out whole species even in otherwise pristine areas. Experts say that in the past 3 decades it is likely at least 120 amphibians have gone extinct. In a few cases captive populations in zoos have become a species' last stand.
The new frogs—like much of the biodiversity in the Western Ghats—are imperiled by habitat loss, says Dinesh. Growing human populations, rising consumption, and intensive agriculture taking the place of traditional farming in parts of the Western Ghats, has put many species in danger.

Balancing agriculture and rainforest biodiversity in India's Western Ghats
(08/08/2011) When one thinks of the world's great rainforests the Amazon, Congo, and the tropical forests of Southeast Asia and Indonesia usually come to mind. Rarely does India—home to over a billion people—make an appearance. But along India's west coast lies one of the world's great tropical forests and biodiversity hotspots, the Western Ghats. However it's not just the explosion of life one finds in the Western Ghats that make it notable, it's also the forest's long—and ongoing—relationship to humans, lots of humans. Unlike many of the world's other great rainforests, the Western Ghats has long been a region of agriculture. This is one place in the world where elephants walk through tea fields and tigers migrate across betel nut plantations. While wildlife has survived alongside humans for centuries in the region, continuing development, population growth and intensification of agriculture are putting increased pressure on this always-precarious relationship. In a recent paper in Biological Conservation, four researchers examine how well agricultural landscapes support biodiversity conservation in one of India's most species-rich landscapes.
First ever picture of long lost rainbow toad
(07/13/2011) Scientists are elated after the surprise rediscovery of a wildly-colored frog not seen for 87 years and never before photographed—until now. The Bornean rainbow toad, also known as the Sambas Stream toad (Ansonia latidisca) was rediscovered on Borneo in the Malaysian state of Sarawak by local scientists inspired by a 2010 search for the world's missing amphibians by Conservation International (CI). Leading up to its search CI released the World's Top 10 Most Wanted Lost Frogs (out of a hundred being searched for): the Bornean rainbow toad was listed as number 10.
Worldwide search for 'lost frogs' ends with 4% success, but some surprises
(02/16/2011) Last August, a group of conservation agencies launched the Search for Lost Frogs, which employed 126 researchers to scour 21 countries for 100 amphibian species, some of which have not been seen for decades. After five months, expeditions found 4 amphibians out of the 100 targets, highlighting the likelihood that most of the remaining species are in fact extinct; however the global expedition also uncovered some happy surprises. Amphibians have been devastated over the last few decades; highly sensitive to environmental impacts, species have been hard hit by deforestation, habitat loss, pollution, agricultural chemicals, overexploitation for food, climate change, and a devastating fungal disease, chytridiomycosis. Researchers say that in the past 30 years, its likely 120 amphibians have been lost forever.

Apple WWDC 2014 conference set for June 2-6
The Apple Worldwide Developers Conference is taking place in San Francisco starting June 2, Monday. It's going to last five days through June 6 and Apple says 1000 of its engineers and 5000 developers are going to attend.
This year, Apple has decided to sell the conference tickets a bit differently. Instead of making all of them available at once, Apple is going to randomly pick its developer attendees who've registered for the conference.
Presumably, Apple is going to reveal the latest developments and feature in iOS and OS X. It's also possible to see more than a CPU and GPU refresh for the Macbook Air.

Millions of Muslims gather on Mount Arafat for peak Haj day
(AFP) / 5 November 2011
More than two million Muslims gathered on Saturday on Saudi Arabias Mount Arafat and its surrounding plain, marking the peak day of the Haj, the worlds largest annual pilgrimage.
Dressed in white garments, the pilgrims filled the Namera Mosque in Arafat and the nearby streets and camps for collective prayer, led by Saudi Arabias top cleric, Sheikh Abdul Aziz Al Sheikh.
Islam is the solution for the problems of Muslims, he said in a speech before the prayer began, warning the faithful of a media and cultural invasion that seeks to weaken (their) faith.
He urged Muslims to solve their problems without interference from their enemies, condemning those who want to provoke hostility between you and your leaders.
There were no immediate reports of major incidents as security officials focused on crowd control.
Things are going well and according to plans, interior ministry spokesman General Mansur Al Turki said.
Many went on buses, while others set off on foot from Mina, a tent-village that comes to life only during the five-day pilgrimage.
Others took the Mashair Railway, also known as the Mecca Metro, to go to Mount Arafat and its surrounding plains, where Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is believed to have delivered his final sermon.
The Chinese-built railway is operating for the first time this year at its full capacity of 72,000 people per hour to ease congestion and prevent stampedes in which hundreds have been killed in past years.
The dual-track light railway connects the three holy sites of Mina, Muzdalifah and Mount Arafat areas that see a massive influx of pilgrims during the hajj.
After sunset, pilgrims move to Muzdalifah, half way between Mount Arafat and Mina, to spend the night.
On Sunday, they return to Mina after dawn prayers for the first stage of the symbolic stoning of the devil and to make the ritual sacrifice of an animal, usually a lamb with the beginning of Eid Al Adha, or the Feast of Sacrifice.
On the remaining three days of the haj, the pilgrims continue the ritual stoning before performing the circumambulation of the Holy Kaaba in the Holy city of Makkah and then heading home.
However, the gathering in the plains around Mount Arafat symbolises the climax of the Haj.
The Haj is one of the five pillars of Islam and must be performed at least once in a lifetime by all those who are able to make the journey, and it is a dream that can take years to come true.
Mukhtar Al Rahman, who is more than 100 years of age, said that this is the dream of my life which took a century to come true.
The crowds have tired me and as you can see I cant stand properly because of the huge crowds flooding into the area, the elderly Bengali said panting as he looked for a small chair to sit on.
Meanwhile, Indonesian Noor Laila said: Im so happy to have set foot on Arafats sacred soil.
I want to wash away all my sins and ask God to forgive my mistakes. This is the first time I come to Haj and I hope it wont be the last, said the 36-year-old.
Malaysian Abdullah Wali Al Deen, 45, said he had been working for years for this day.
I came here with my family after we managed to save enough money, he said.
Everyone in here is equal. There are no differences between various nationalities. This is the religion of peace, love and brotherhood.
More than 1.83 million pilgrims have arrived in the kingdom from abroad, marking a 1.5 per cent increase from last year, said Mecca governor Prince Khaled al-Faisal.
Several hundred thousand Saudis and foreign residents in the kingdom were also granted permits to join them, he added.
For the first time this year, the Haj is being streamed live on video-sharing website YouTube in cooperation with the Saudi government.

Per Nilsson knows the lineup he posted for the NCAA Tournament can knock off a highly-ranked opponent because he's seen them do less than two months ago in Starkville.
The Mississippi State men's tennis team, who have shaken up both the singles and doubles lineup throughout the 2011 season, will put the same lineup that knocked off No. 4 Tennessee 6-1 at the A.J. Pitts Tennis Centre on April 1.
"It comes down to just playing because we have some good matchups with Florida State and some that look a little harder," Nilsson said. "I know we can get the doubles point against anyone but the problem is I don't know when it's coming."
Nilsson feels like his team is arguably the most balanced in the singles spots 2-6 than any other team in the country as the Bulldogs (13-8) earned their first NCAA appearance since 15 straight bids from 1991-2005 despite having no players that qualify for the individual or doubles NCAA Tournament that will take place after the team championships conclude. George Coupland and Artem Ilyushin are alternates in that singles draw and will likely make the trip to see if they're included.
The reason for the depth is not because the rebuilding process of MSU men's tennis doesn't have any good players but the Nilsson has full lineup of solid players that he feels could all play at 2-3 spots on many solid teams in the country.
"I wish we had one we could point out because that would be our leader and probably our best player," Nilsson said. "Maybe our weakness but also our strength is we have five (or) six guys that are exactly the same."
Mississippi State will play Florida State in first round action today (10 a.m.) before No. 15 seed and regional host Georgia Tech faces Middle Tennessee State, the Sun Belt Conference champion, at 1 p.m.
The winners will face off against Saturday at 3 p.m. for the opportunity to reach the NCAA round of 16 that will be played in Stanford, Calif
"The Sweet 16 in tennis is all at one site (in 2011 it's at Stanford)," Nilsson said. "For most of the good teams, these first two rounds are just about taking care of business until you get to what we call the real NCAA Tournament. The NCAA doesn't like me to say that but we're trying to get to Stanford and see what it's like."
Florida State (9-14) has five wins against ranked teams. The Seminoles finished the Atlantic Coast Conference with a 4-7 record while having senior Vahid Mirzadeh named to the All-ACC team. Mirzadeh ranked the entire season including a career high No. 21. He and sophomore Connor Smith are ranked No. 13 by the ITA in doubles.
"They're a lot better than their ranking is and they're always good," Nilsson said. "We've seen their results and they can play with anyone.
It's probably going to be one of the better first-round matches."
Mississippi State holds wins this season over five teams in this year's NCAA field (Vanderbilt, Nebraska, Tennessee, Auburn and Ole Miss) and their first-round opponent Florida State has faced eight opponents ranked in the Top 50.
State is 15-15 overall all-time in the NCAA Tournament and 11-4 in first-round play.
When combining the All-Southeastern Conference and All-Freshman men's tennis teams, Mississippi State's five honorees tied Georgia for the most representation on the 2011 all-league squads.
Nilsson was also named the conference's coach of the year selection after MSU posted their best record overall (13-8) and in the SEC (8-3) since 1998's NCAA semifinal team went 21-5 and 9-2 in the league.
Mississippi State's talented newcomer Malte Stropp, the SEC freshman of the year, was a four-time SEC freshman of the week that was 24-5 in singles and 16-2 in dual matches including a 9-1 mark in SEC play this season while playing at the four-spot position throughout the year.

Farmers race storms to wrap up corn plantingsU.S. farmers should begin winding down corn plantings in the next week to 10 days, despite occasional showers and storms that will cause temporary delays, an agricultural meteorologist said May 22.
By: Sam Nelson, Reuters
U.S. farmers should begin winding down corn plantings in the next week to 10 days, despite occasional showers and storms that will cause temporary delays, an agricultural meteorologist said May 22.
"Overall it looks like they'll make decent progress, more so in the lower Midwest than in the Dakotas though," said Andy Karst, meteorologist for World Weather Inc.
Karst said rains were moving from the western Midwest into the east on May 22, and that it will be drier May 23 and 24, followed by more showers by the weekend. "For crops that got in the ground it's a good environment," he said.
The worst drought in more than 50 years had depleted soil moisture reserves in much of the Corn Belt last season, but a return to spring rains, though slowing plantings, has boosted crop prospects for the 2013 harvest.
U.S. farmers took advantage of mostly clear skies last week to plant corn at a blistering pace in an attempt to catch up from weather delays in April and early May.
In its weekly crop progress report late on May 20, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said U.S. corn planting was 71 percent complete, up from 28 percent a week ago, but still behind the 79 percent five-year average seeding pace.
The increase of 43 percentage points from the previous week indicates that farmers in the world's biggest corn producer seeded a single-week U.S. record of 41.8 million acres to the grain as of May 19, topping the previous record of 34.1 million acres set in June 1992.
USDA has projected U.S. 2013 corn plantings at 97.3 million acres this year, the largest land area devoted to production of the crop since the 1930s.
Soybean planting progress rose to 24 percent from 6 percent a week earlier, USDA said.
"The best weather of (the) year for fieldwork allowed producers to rapidly advance their planting pace, especially for corn," the Iowa field office of USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service said in its weekly report. Iowa is the biggest U.S. grower of corn and soybeans.
Planting in the U.S. Corn Belt this year got off to its slowest start in decades because of cold and rainy weather, with snowfall recorded in some states as late as early May. In contrast, Iowa farmers this past week had an average of 5.3 days considered "suitable for fieldwork," more than double the amount in any previous week this year.
Farmers in Iowa, Illinois and Minnesota each seeded more than half their intended corn acres in the week.

Bears players take to Twitter to welcome Jared AllenContinue reading.
New father Jared Allen expected back for Bears' preseason opener vs. Eagles
Bears defensive end Jared Allen missed his third consecutive practice Tuesday to be with his wife for the birth of their second daughter, a Bears source confirmed. Allen is expected to return in time for Friday's preseason opener against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Brandon Marshall also missed practice Tuesday, but it was a "coach's decision," Bears head coach Marc Trestman said. "You could see the work that Brandon's put in," Trestman said. "We just wanted to give him a little time out of practice today."
With Martellus Bennett suspended and Marquess Wilson injured, the Bears have yet to have their full complement of offensive regulars together at any point of training camp. Kyle Long returned from a viral infection Monday. But Trestman said he is not concerned that it will hamper the progress of the offense.
"We don't want to lose anybody," Trestman said. "We're just plugging guys in, giving Jay an opportunity. Through the whole camp, you've seen that Jay has gotten more reps and not only with the [first team] but with the [second-team] receiving group as well."
Tim Jennings (quad) did not practice Tuesday. Jordan Mills left early with a sore foot. Isaiah Frey left practice early because of a leg injury, which he presumed was a pulled hamstring.

The hilarious talk show host Chelsea Lately has made a video clip about her experience of taking Ballroom dancing lessons with Karina Smirnoff from "Dancing With The Stars". This video is entertaining to watch because of how hard Chelsea is trying to get the dance moves and be sexy – Of course she is nothing BUT. Nevertheless, at the end, her friend Chuy (not sure of the spelling of his name), shows her how it is done and Chelsea accuses him of "stealing her thunder". It is great to see some Ballroom dancing comedy! Watch the video:

Putting It All Together: Finding the Perfect Dining Set
Buying a full dining table set is a quick, convenient way to give your dining room an instant makeover -- especially if you've got an old, mismatched set right now.
But with so many different styles, shapes, sizes, chair fabrics, and colors to choose from, how do you choose?
By making a list of your must-have features, of course. Here are a few options to consider when picking out the perfect dining suite for your home:
Size Matters: Choosing the Size, Shape, and Height
First, you need to determine how much room you want your dining table to take. Do you just need seating for two, or for eight or more?
If you've got a big, airy dining room and plan to host plenty of large dinner parties, then a big table with a leaf or two and a couple of extra chairs is a natural choice.
For a smaller space, consider a round table to act as your room's centerpiece. Or, go rectangular with a breakfast/dining nook that can tuck into a corner and still leave you some room to breathe.
Finally, do you want a standard-height table for family meals? Or a counter- or bar-height table for sharing coffee with a friend and enjoying the view from your favorite window?
To Leaf or Not To Leaf?
If you have occasional guests for dinner, then a dining set with a table leaf is a good investment. Here, too, there are several options to choose from.
A butterfly leaf is perfect for small dining rooms with limited space. In this type of table, the leaf (or multiple leaves) folds up underneath the table when not in use, eliminating the need for a separate storage space.
A drop leaf dining table also helps you save space, with leaves that fold down on hinges on each side of the table. Again, the attached, folding leaves keep you from having to find a place to store them when not in use.
An extension leaf, usually the drop-in style found in traditional tables, provides extra space for larger gatherings. In many extension leaf tables, you can add multiple leaves to accommodate a big group of people -- just don't forget to also add some extra chairs!
The Breakfast Nook: A Small Space Champion
Take advantage of corner space in a small dining area. A breakfast nook is a great solution, as many styles feature bench seating along two corner walls and a bench or chairs on the outside.
Your breakfast nook can come in a traditional style, with all-wood benches in a finish that matches the table. Or, it can give your room a more contemporary look, with rich fabric or leather seat upholstery to add a bit of luxury.
Seating: A Perfect Match
Once you've determined your dinette set's size and style, it's time to consider the kind of seating you want.
Consider mixing a bench on one side of the table with matching chairs on the other for a casual, modern look.
Do you spend a lot of time around the table, such as hosting family game nights? You might want to go with a set that includes comfortable, padded chairs.
Spending a little time now to think about your dining room's space, decor, and how you'll be using your table and chairs will help you find the ideal dining set for your home.

I first came face to face with HIV/AIDS in the late 80s. My aunt was brought home, very sickly and looking like a skeleton. She had wounds all over her body and her hair was falling off.
As children, we were curious about her strange illness and one of my siblings actually asked her why she had wounds all over her body. She just broke down and cried. We were forbidden from going to her room after that. We were also warned against eating her leftovers because, we were told, we would get her wounds and end up like her.
That threat was enough to keep us away. At the time of her death, any attempt to turn her over left her skin on the bedding, so they had to get a polythene sheet to minimise this.
The statistics
Looking back at my aunt and many others who died of HIV/AIDS in the early 80s and 90s, it is hard to believe that the same disease is still among us. In fact, statistics show, the HIV/AIDS prevalence rate has increased in recent years, despite the increased awareness about the scourge.
According to the 2011 Ministry of Health Uganda AIDS survey, the HIV/AIDS prevalence rate among people between 15 and 49 years increased from 6.4% to 7.3% between 2004 and 2011.
It also showed that prevalence is higher among women with 8.3% compared to men who have a 6.1% prevalence rate. When it comes to the younger generation, the survey that was conducted between February and September 2011 showed 4% of 15 to 24-year-olds are living with HIV.
The changing face of HIV
One of the reasons why infections are increasing is because HIV/AIDS has taken on a new face. Whereas it used to torture the patient with wounds, rashes, hair loss and weight loss - popularly getting it's name, slim - many people can now live with HIV/AIDS without a single outward sign that they are infected.
According to Dr. Nicholas Atwine, a physician at The Practice Medical Centre in Kampala, the symptoms of the HIV virus were more severe during the late 70s and early 80s, mainly because people did not know about the disease.
"There was little or no information about the virus, so when one contracted it, they were considered an outcast. Many turned to witchcraft or used local herbs in a bid to cure it," he says. Today, patients are put on antiretroviral therapy (ART) to suppress the virus.
In 2011 alone, a total of 7,852 people were enrolled on ART, according to The AIDS Support Organisation's (TASO) 2011 annual report.
By the end of the year, TASO had a cumulative number of 44,897 clients on ART, which the report notes, represents 47.3% of its total number of 94,842 active clients.
Rubaramira Ruranga is one of the prominent Ugandans who has lived with HIV for years, thanks to ARVs
Changing attitudes
Today, people are less scared about getting HIV/AIDS.
According to Sarah Nalule, a clinical psychologist with Mulago Hospital, people's attitudes toward contracting the virus has contributed to the changing face of HIV today. This is mainly due to the strides made in a bid to control and find a cure.
Scientists continue to do research, consequently, new preventive measures and treatment drugs are introduced. These have guaranteed normal and fulfilling lives for those with the virus, shaming the proverbial dramatic look that HIV wore when it first hit humans.
A drama group makes a presentation about HIV. Sensitisation of the masses helped demystify HIV/AIDS.
Counselling services
Unlike today, where counselling services are availed to those infected, there were none in the early years of the epidemic. Instead, people were stigmatised and considered outcasts.
"The victim suffered emotional stress, which further weakened the body, making the symptoms more evident and bringing quicker death. The major one was rapid weight loss from which the term 'slim' was coined," Atwine explains.
With time, however, the need to provide counselling services to both patients and caretakers gave rise to a crop of HIV/AIDS counsellors, who have done a great job of demystifying issues surrounding the disease.
As Nalule notes, paying specific attention to the emotional challenges influencing HIV infection has contributed a lot to the changing face of HIV/AIDS.
Atwine observes that there were no anti-retroviral drugs back in the day, because there was little research on the virus.
As a result, medical help was limited. Of late though, sensitisation about the disease and its prevention has grown in leaps and bounds.
"There are measures today that help prevent mother-to-child transmission, which means babies whose mothers are HIV-positive can be born HIV-negative.
Preventive measures like the use of condoms and positive living campaigns have also gone a long way in helping people cope," she says.
Though there are different strains, HIV is the same
Q Is the HIV virus still the same as it was back in the day?
A Yes, it is, though there are different strains.
Are there any subtle physical signs from which I can tell that someone has the HIV virus?
It is not possible to tell that one has HIV just by looking at them. It is unwise to conclude, for example, that a rash on someone's skin indicates they have the virus. It could be an allergic reaction or a skin infection. The only way to tell that one is infected is by taking a blood test.
Why do people still get wounds on their bodies even when they are on ARVs?
One might be on ARVs but drinks heavily, smokes, has a poor diet, lives in an unhygienic environment or does not adhere to the routine and dosage of the drugs. This can cause the symptoms to manifest more because the drug may not work as effectively as it should.
Why are there more discordant couples these days?
There were discordant couples even back then, but due to lack of information and awareness, they were not known.
Do ARVs reduce someone's chances of getting AIDS?
No. ARVs do not prevent the spread of HIV and people ought to be just as careful not to get infected as they were before their advent.
ARVs are primarily meant to boost sufferers' immunity so they can fight off opportunistic diseases, not cure them.

Quinny Yezz

Your Reviews
"Yess....IT's Quinny Yezz!…"
Yesss...Quinny Yezz is the perfect puschair. My dreams come true, now travelling is so perfect as it can be. This amazing city stroller is so great for public transport especially in peak time,when everything is full and you need to fold your buggy. Quinny Yezz is lightweight, only 5 kg, but it fells like feather if you compare it to other buggies.
It looks so glamorous and stylish, is lightweight and at the same time strong and sturdy. It stands when folded and take tiny space, it is easy to fold with one hand and can be used as bacpack when folded. I love this function, Quinny Yezz has strap and you can carry it on your shoulder, its awesome because your hands are free.
My son loves tiny wheels, "wow! cool! mummy look! wheels look like my scooter wheels!
Yes they look the same, they are small and ride is very comfortable if there isn't any bumps on road otherwise it's little bit bumpy, but my sons enjoys it.
I love that handles are high enough (I'm 172cm) my buggy from cheap end had so low handles that it was so uncomfortable to push it around.I like how easy Quinny Yezz is to maneuver with one hand, that's mean that I can take umbrella in other when it is rainy or answer phone without stopping.
This buggy is suitable from 6 month but I think that baby form 10 and up will be more comfortable.My son is 3 now we don't use buggy everyday but when we need it it's very handy.
only thing is this buggy are not for shopoholics only for those who use city for other purposes, like travelling to visit friends, attending museums, excibitions, as there isn't shopping basket, only shopping pocket, where you can put some tiny things till 2 kg. That's the pain for me, as my old buggy had huge shopping basket, but it was so heavy and difficult to maneuver that I don't mind small shopping pocket.
Quinny Yezz is great for moving around the city with your little one!Read moreLess

"Incredibly light, compact and robust…"
I bought one of these for my two year old a couple of months ago and I have been very impressed. Having had a succession of crappy strollers, I am very happy to have a lightweight, compact pushchair that easy to fold up but is not rubbish.
Very light to push, even with a chunky boy in it.
Very easy to steer, even one handed.
Easy to fold, although there is a knack to this.
Tiny when folded
Free standing when folded
Very light at 5kg
Carry strap and comfortable to carry
Straps are height- as well as length-adjustable
Feels incredibly robust for such a light, tiny pushchair
Washable seat
Pocket large enough for nappies, wipes, purse etc.
Huge seat
Futuristic-looking and comes in a range of colours
No recline. I would not put a child under 1 in this pushchair. DS3 has slept in it but he looks uncomfortable.
Crotch strap is not adjustable
The small hard wheels and lack of suspension mean that over bumpy ground, you feel the bumps.
Little pocket is too small for shopping and if you overstuff it the pushchair will not fold up.
In spite of the cons, I love it. It is described as a pushchair for the city and as long as you don't want to use it for your child's naps, it is perfect for this.Read moreLess

Intellectual property (IP) is a legal field that refers to creations of the mind such as musical, literary, and artistic works; inventions; and symbols, names, images, and designs used in commerce, including copyrights, trademarks, patents, and related rights. Under intellectual property law, the holder of one of these abstract properties has certain exclusive rights to the creative work, commercial symbol, or invention by which it is covered.
Intellectual property rights are a bundle of exclusive rights over creations of the mind, both artistic and commercial. The former is covered by copyright laws, which protect creative works, such as books, movies, music, paintings, photographs, and software, and gives the copyright holder exclusive right to control reproduction or adaptation of such works for a certain period of time.
The second category is collectively known as "industrial properties", as they are typically created and used for industrial or commercial purposes. A patent may be granted for a new, useful, and non-obvious invention and gives the patent holder a right to prevent others from practicing the invention without a license from the inventor for a certain period of time. A trademark is a distinctive sign which is used to prevent confusion among products in the marketplace.
An industrial design right protects the form of appearance, style or design of an industrial object from infringement. A trade secret is an item of non-public information concerning the commercial practices or proprietary knowledge of a business. Public disclosure of trade secrets may sometimes be illegal.
The term intellectual property denotes the specific legal rights described above, and not the intellectual work itself.
Intellectual property rights give creators exclusive rights to their creations, thereby providing an incentive for the author or inventor to develop and share the information rather than keep it secret. The legal protections granted by IP laws are credited with significant contributions toward economic growth.
Economists estimate that two-thirds of the value of large businesses in the U.S. can be traced to intangible assets. Likewise, industries which rely on IP protections are estimated to produce 72 percent more value per added employee than non-IP industries.
Additionally, a joint research project of the WIPO and the United Nations University measuring the impact of IP systems on six Asian countries found "a positive correlation between the strengthening of the IP system and subsequent economic growth." However, correlation does not necessarily imply causation.
Intellectual property rights are considered by economists to be a form of temporary monopoly enforced by the state (or enforced using the legal mechanisms for redress supported by the state).
Intellectual property rights are usually limited to non-rival goods, that is, goods which can be used or enjoyed by many people simultaneously—the use by one person does not exclude use by another. This is compared to rival goods, such as clothing, which may only be used by one person at a time. For example, any number of people may make use of a mathematical formula simultaneously. Some objections to the term intellectual property are based on the argument that property can only properly be applied to rival goods (or that one cannot "own" property of this sort).
Since a non-rival good may be used (copied, for example) by many simultaneously (produced with minimal marginal cost), producers would have no incentive to create such works. Monopolies, by contrast, also have inefficiencies (producers will charge more and produce less than would be socially desirable).
The establishment of intellectual property rights, therefore, represents a trade-off, to balance the interest of society in the creation of non-rival goods (by encouraging their production) with the problems of monopoly power. Since the trade-off and the relevant benefits and costs to society will depend on many factors that may be specific to each product and society, the optimum period of time during which the temporary monopoly rights exist is unclear.
Modern usage of the term intellectual property began with the 1967 establishment of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), but it did not enter popular usage until passage of the Bayh-Dole Act in 1980.
The earliest use of the term intellectual property appears to be in an October 1845 Massachusetts Circuit Court ruling in the patent case Davoll et al. v. Brown., in which Justice Charles L. Woodbury wrote that "only in this way can we protect intellectual property, the labors of the mind, productions and interests as much a man's own...as the wheat he cultivates, or the flocks he rears." (1 Woodb. & M. 53, 3 West.L.J. 151, 7 F.Cas. 197, No. 3662, 2 Robb.Pat.Cas. 303, Merw.Pat.Inv. 414). The statement that "discoveries are...property" goes back earlier. Section 1 of the French law of 1791 stated, "All new discoveries are the property of the author; to assure the inventor the property and temporary enjoyment of his discovery, there shall be delivered to him a patent for five, ten or fifteen years. In Europe, French author A. Nion mentioned propriété intellectuelle in his Droits civils des auteurs, artistes et inventeurs, published in 1846.
The concept's origins can potentially be traced back further. Jewish law includes several considerations whose effects are similar to those of modern intellectual property laws, though the notion of intellectual creations as property does not seem to exist. The Talmud contains the first known example of codifying a prohibition against the theft of ideas, which is further discussed in the Shulchan Aruch.
Some critics of intellectual property, such as those in the free culture movement, characterize it as intellectual protectionism or intellectual monopoly and argue that the public interest is harmed by protectionist legislation such as copyright extension, software patents and business method patents. Although the term is in wide use, some critics reject the term intellectual property altogether. Richard Stallman argues that it "systematically distorts and confuses these issues, and its use was and is promoted by those who gain from this confusion." He suggests the term "operates as a catch-all to lump together disparate laws [which] originated separately, evolved differently, cover different activities, have different rules, and raise different public policy issues." These critics advocate referring to copyrights, patents and trademarks in the singular and warn against abstracting disparate laws into a collective term.

Teaching Excellence Seminar:
Peer Review: One Feature of a Balanced Approach to Evaluating Teaching Effectiveness
Suzanne Ozment
Executive Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, University of South Carolina Aiken
October 29, 2008
The results of teaching evaluations can be used to improve teaching, and peer review is a common method of evaluating teaching. How do you ensure consistent peer review? What difference does it make? This seminar will describe one model for peer review of teaching, discuss its implementation, and review lessons learned.
This model was developed by faculty and administrators at USC Aiken, who drew on professional literature that incorporates best practices to ensure consistency among evaluators. Through a formal process, peer reviews contribute to the assessment of teaching effectiveness previously defined primarily by annual self-report and student teaching evaluations.

Which is better: Peterbilt or Kenworth?
This is one of the most heated debates in the trucking world. When you are making a hundred thousand dollar investment, you darn well better make the right decision. In the United States, the authority brands for the market are Kenworth and Peterbilt. They are both manufactured by PACCAR, an American based company that has a dealer network of over 1,800 locations in more than 100 countries. Though Freightliner Trucks and Volvo sell more trucks annually, Petes and Kenworths are generally regarded as the most desirable big rigs. Peterbilts are know as the "Harley Davidson" of trucks while Kenworths are seen as more affordable, yet still premium, option.
The problem with the Kenworth/Peterbilt debate is most trucks are made for a specific purpose. For instance, you're going to want a different engine and transmission if you are operating a dump truck and idling all the time. Because what's under the hood varies so much one Kenworth might be superior to a similar Peterbilt. This definitely puts a tick in the win column for Kenworth because you will save some money if you buy smart. Then there is the CAT vs Detroit debate but that is another story…
Peterbilt's biggest advantage is resale value. You're paying for a quality brand name that people will pay for again and again. I've seen owners buy a Pete, use it for years, and sell it for more than they paid! You can't ask for a better investment. You do have to be careful though, some of the newer models have not held up quite as well in the resale market. The 387 comes to mind… Kenworths do have decent resale value as well; The W900L has a great reputation. Peterbilt still wins this argument though. There are still going to be 359s on the road for years to come.
The last big selling point for Peterbilts is their interior. As you can see in the picture, you get a pretty neat setup with a Peterbilt. A large majority of show trucks are Peterbilts so there is no shortage of customization options. Your cab is your home away from home so why not make it feel that way? They have roomy and wide cabs for long haul guys. Most Kenworths are about a foot or two narrower; you can adjust the passenger window from the driver's seat. This much space might not always be practical for in-town trucks so once again, make sure you select the best truck for the driver and the job. We'd love to hear more feedback from you guys so please comment below! Also, if you want to throw any other trucks in the debate feel free. We have fiercely loyal Western Star fans, especially those from Australia.

I am considering a 2009 peterbilt 387. Can u elaborate on the problems with this particular peterbilt. It will be my first truck and if u know of any problems it would help a lot thanks.
In 2009 the 379 was not an option. However the 389 was
It's funny how some people will spend an extra $10,000 just for the big brands such as Pete or kw. Everyone wants Petes. Like you said it's like having a Harley Davison motorcycle. Everyone wants the big brand name.
Not really. Harleys and Peterbilts are for people with an eye for detail and class. Anyone with a detailed eye knows Harleys and Peterbilts have a different classic style and look.
I personally hate how the clutch pedal feels in a Pete,also I feel the cab is smaller in a Pete,you can't beat a kenworth as far as a smooth ride.the 8 air bag on the drives and the set forward front axle is like riding in a caddy ,and the cab is quieter also,thats why they are often imitated but never duplicated
I've owned an extended hood 359 Pete for years.In my opinion, best looking Pete ever.Room in cab, not a strong point however.Only complaint,dash has tendency to crack,and dash lights going out often. GREAT TRUCK.
A '84 Pete is way better than a KW w900a
Am I reading your article correct? Kw cab is foot or two narrower than Pete?
They are both about the smallest cabs you can get. Neither are ideal if you are a xtra large dude.
I give kw the edge because the cab is quieter and I hate the Pete clutch pedal.
It's crazy what accessories you can get for a Pete tho. Insane.
I wonder if they don't intentionally make the Pete loud because Pete boys are old school and they prolly enjoy a little rumble in the cab? (They are the Harley Davidson after all!)
Either way with a kw or a Pete you can't go wrong.
Hi. I'm wondering. I was in a kW w900b 72″ sleeper. My boss will be buying a new truck for me. Pete 388 63″ sleeper. My questions are.
1- is there any difference in sleeper wise?? He told me 63″Pete is same size as 72″kW as Pete measure at a different point.
2- is there anything to do with that clutch?? Switch pedal, customize it, anything at all?? I'm working in mud all day n I HATE that clutch. Just a matter of time before my foot slip n something happen.
3- any major difference between Pete n kW I should be concern about?? I felt the kW was best truck I've driven before.
Thnx for your help
Hey, this article and all of the responses have been really helpful. I am looking to buy my first truck and looking at hauling at least a 6 car trailer and would like to know what would be the ideal specs for a reliable and affordable first truck such as Mileage, Year, Make, Model, and any other important details I maybe overlooking. If anyone has any suggestions for the best trailer I would also appreciate that to.. Thanks for any help you guys can provide, its extremely appreciated!!!
Would I have any problems with a 1985 359 peterbilt as a otr truck
Like many others out there, I have driven a little bit of everything in the past million miles or so. I have always found something about each truck I liked, and disliked. I ALWAYS thought of myself as a KW guy, then I drove a Pete with a forward set axle. It won hands down pulling FedEx doubles. But either truck beat Freightshakers, Volvos, and every other truck I've driven down the highway. Though, I had a Volvo when I first started driving the big road that I could put anywhere, anytime, in any condition, EVEN as a newbee.
Roll On.
Interesting comments guys..so I'm in the process to buy a tractor to haul household goods. I was looking into buying a used 2011 cascadia DD15…with some of this information on this site I will be doing some more search. .any suggestions will be welcome, thanks guys
I drive a 81 kenworth w900a and love it! (Gravel truck), but hands down (if they still made them) Pacific trucks in my opinion are the most rugged and coolest looking trucks out there! Hayes trucks included since they merged.
I have an '85 w900 with a b model and its just shy of 500k. Runs like a dream. 288in wheel base helps with the ride but I can put that truck most places. I really wanted a 359 with the corvette dash, but after driving both, I would choose the kw any day.
Kenworth is so much better because their w900 mixer looks all sad (which is cool).

Dancing With The Stars
DWTS' Val Chmerkovskiy: "Let's See How Long This 'Camaraderie' Lasts" – Exclusive
Dancing With the Stars pro Val Chmerkovskiy is incredibly focused on bringing home a trophy for the Dance With Me studio alliance (both brothers Chmerkovskiy, plus Tony Dovolani) on Dancing With the Stars Season 14. In an exclusive interview with Wetpaint Entertainment, Val dishes on the strengths of his celebrity partner Sherri Shepherd, her secret weapon, and what he has planned for tonight.
Wetpaint Entertainment: What will you be dancing tonight (March 26)?
Val Chmerkovskiy: I will be dancing the Jive.
Competition is fierce this year. What are you doing to keep Sherri on her toes?
I'm telling her to tuck in her butt and keep her weight forward. Well, [her "girls"] pretty much keep her on her toes. Everybody has their obstacles and their challenges. I really like all our fellow contestants on the show. I think everybody's kind of awesome. I'm a big fan of everybody. I know it's the beginning of the season, but I'm a fan of the show that I'm part of now, because of all those celebrities and all the people that are part of the show. I'm very much focused on Sherri and making a great product, a product that I'll enjoy, she'll enjoy, she'll look back and be proud of. And I think if we do that, the audience and the judges will take us forward. I'm not really focused on any of our competitors.
What has the group been like behind the scenes?
I just feel like this season, everybody's here because they want to be. That pretty much builds respectful relationships between [a] celebrity and dancer. We have a lot of big names on the show, but all of them are humble and modest enough to want to learn and they're all very respectful to their pro dancers. Because of that, you're getting a high quality of performance. Great attitudes and great relationships all around. We're all kind of pulling for one another. And it is the first episode so let's see how long this camaraderie lasts. Everybody's quite positive.
I'm very much focused on Sherri, and she makes me so happy and I'm very blessed to have a partner who trusts me, believes in me, wants to learn from me, wants to listen to me, and believes that I only have the best intentions for her. That makes my life a lot easier because I'm not out there just dancing or trying to prove anything to her. We're just working together for the common goal.
What are Sherri's strengths?
Her secret weapon is her personality. She has a natural presence and she draws people to her. She has a beautiful smile. The smile is a reflection of her, of her soul, and her being a genuine personality and I think that's her strength.
How have you been working around Sherri's demanding schedule?
That's been tough. Fortunately for me, and then at the same time unfortunately for me and us, Sherri's the kind of person who whatever she commits herself to she does full strength and wholeheartedly, she does full-out. That's why her and I get along, because we have the same type of personality, when I come to something I want to give my all. She commits herself to a lot of projects because of that she really exhausts herself. But she doesn't look at her dance training as a burden. She feels very blessed to be part of the show, she's a big fan of the show. She loves everything about it, she loves the work that goes into it.
Check back tomorrow for Part 2 of our interview with Val!
Catch the next new episode of DWTS on Monday, March 26 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.

Philips HDT8520 - the first UK Freeview HD recorder
We've covered this Freeview recorder a fair bit over the last few weeks, so we won't keep you for too long. We just wanted to let you know that it's available now, thus becoming the UK's first ever Freeview HD recorder. It just beat the Humax HDR-FOX T2 to the punch.
It's got a 500GB hard drive - enough for 125 hours of fantastic HD action or 250 hours of less fantastic SD action.
It's got a three hour buffer for time shifting and dual tuners so you can record one thing and watch another. There's 1080p upscaling and Ethernet connectivity, although there's no codec support yet for digital video playback.
It's £299 and you can get it from John Lewis, Currys, Comet, Tesco, Amazon or Richer Sounds, as well as lots of other places.
Check out our in-depth look at it here, with photos galore. Also be sure to check out our top 5 PVRs for the World Cup as well as all of the other brilliant guides in our World Cup Week.
