The beginning of nationalist activities in Nigeria could be traced to the late 19th century. The key figures in these activities were mostly Liberians, Sierra Leonians and West Indians and their mediums of expression were a few newspapers which enjoyed the readership of the Southern Nigerian elite. A Liberian, John Pain Jackson, founded the first Nigerian newspaper, The Lagos Weekly Record in 1891. This Newspaper became the mouthpiece of the Lagos elites in their mobilization of racial consciousness and in bargaining for more African participation in the colonial bureaucracy. Most of the ideological inspiration for this early nationalism came from the writings and thoughts of Marcus Garvey, Booker Washington, and other American and West Indian Black political activists.
At this time, nationalist thinking was expressed not in terms of nations but in terms of more abstract ideals of black/African emancipation and, as Coleman (1958:184) noted, the struggle for more British scholarship for Africans. There was a distinct pan-West African character to this phase of nationalism. The National Congress of British West Africa and the West African Students Association formed in 1913 and 1925 respectively had broad pan-West African ideals and their members were drawn from Nigeria, Gambia, Ghana, and Sierra Leone. This growing community of local colonial elites associating within political frameworks engendered by colonialism fits with Anderson's theory that colonialism created a sense of community and facilitated the cultivation of political solidarities among educated colonial subjects.
Southern Nigerian nationalism took on a militant character during the debate on the amalgamation of the Northern and Southern colonies between 1913 and 1914, a debate which was a prelude to the actual amalgamation. Members of the Lagos elite protested vehemently against the amalgamation proposal. They made it clear in their protest that the peoples of the North and those of the South were starkly different, had different worldviews and that any nation created out of an arbitrary union of the two territories would not function. At this time the Lagos press had acquired an unprecedented vibrancy through the addition of more publications and this new potency was deployed to prosecute the Southern campaign against political fusion with the North. The Chronicle in its editorial stated that the south was not Muslim and that the principle of Northern administration was anathema to Southerners. Similarly, the Times of Nigeria stated in an editorial shortly after the amalgamation that: "unification was synonymous with a sellout of the South. The subjugation of Southern Nigeria by Northern Nigerian laws, northern Nigerian land laws, Northern Nigerian Administration must be made to supercede every system in Southern Nigeria.
" There was indeed a strong Southern resentment of the Islamic and Islamic-leaning political and legal systems of the North as well as the fear that the British would privilege this system in a united Nigeria, thus subsuming the Western orientation of the South under the "Orientalist" institutions of the North. This atmosphere led to the insulation of the North from subsequent political actions against British rule, resulting in a bi-furcated and insular engagement with British colonialism. But more importantly, the attitude of the Southern elite towards the amalgamation, apart from calling their nationalist credential to question, indicates the contempt of the Southerners for and distrust of the North, a region which they saw as being marked out from the South by religion, culture and principle of political organization. The distrust and contempt was mutual, however.
To be sure, it was not only the Southerners who opposed the amalgamation. A similar resentment of it - albeit muted - pervaded the North. These strong feelings expressed by both the North and the South on the amalgamation was one of the reasons why the British did not merge the educational and bureaucratic systems of the two protectorates in 1914, creating only a weak administrative center that was expected to grow stronger over time and discipline the competing centrifugal narratives and increasingly visible geopolitical fissures. The difference between the North and the South was such that the idea of unifying them lacked administrative or political logic; nor did it appear potentially workable. The amalgamation created a Nigeria which remained, to use a well-worn cliché, a geographical expression with no significant cultural or political cohesion. According to James Coleman, the amalgamation decree ostensibly brought about the colony and protectorate of Nigeria with headquarters in Lagos but the new creation had no bond of unity except the person of Frederick Lugard, the first Governor-General. The only other bond was the common custom controls instituted with the amalgamation. There were, it seemed, two nations within one nation.
When the acrimony generated by the amalgamation died down, the Southern elites, realizing the inevitability of a Nigerian nation, began accommodating –at least in theory - the North in their nationalist rhetoric. But this was not matched by deeds, circumscribed as it was to the rhetorical level. Moreover, the prevailing situation made the convergence of Southern and Northern sentiments which could result in the formulation of a national consciousness impossible.
The southern press, which had acquired considerable influence over the years and was playing the role of handmaiden of Southern radical nationalism, continued to denigrate the North and its 'conservative' and 'subservient' aristocracy, thus further alienating the latter from the ongoing Southern efforts against British domination. Second, the status of Ilorin, a Yoruba town conquered by the Fulani Jihadists in the late 19th century - a conquest which blurred the North/South divide along that axis - was turned into an anti-North irredentist campaign by the Yoruba elite who wanted Ilorin included in Southern Nigeria. This further strained the relations between the two protectorates and widened the communication gap between them.
The third factor that militated against the evolution of a national consciousness in the nascent British creation was the different educational orientations of the two protectorates. One strand of the Anderson thesis is that the colonial classroom facilitated the galvanization of different ethnic inclinations into one potent national ideology. The Nigerian case was markedly different as the British divide and rule policy segregated the educational services of the two protectorates and maintained this policy long after the amalgamation, thereby making the kind of educational interaction that Anderson discusses impossible. The educational systems of the two regions were amalgamated only in 1929.
Western missionary education arrived the South as early as the middle of the 19th century as Christian conversions progressed side by side with Western education. Indeed the latter was the medium of missionary work. Southern animism gradually gave way to Christian practices and Western liberal education gained ground rapidly as missionary schools were set up in many provinces. By the first decade of the 20th century, many Southerners had become profoundly educated and a handful of them had gone to London for professional studies. One major feature of this education was that it was largely unregulated; the missionaries were allowed to formulate curriculum and syllabuses as they wished. Thus, subjects such as history, literature and psychology were freely taught. The result was the creation of a large pool of educated Southerners whose intellectual faculties had been acutely and liberally aroused. This ran counter to British educational desire, which privileged the training of clerks and vocational workers for the British colonial bureaucracy. The colonial system simply had no room for this class of professionals and liberally educated Southerners. Hence it has been argued that unemployment and British indifference to and contempt for this class drove its members into the radical anti-British nationalism of the 1920s and 1930s.
The British did not intend to let the 'mistake' of the South, that is, the unregulated spread of Western liberal education repeat itself in the North, so Lugard, the first Governor of Northern Nigeria, prevented missionaries from operating in the Muslim North ostensibly out of respect for Islam and Islamic education. Pressures from missionaries between 1900 and 1909 yielded no fruit. Lugard and subsequent British administrators of the North took measures to preserve the educational gap between the North and the South in spite of requests by some Northern emirs like Sanusi of Kano for missionary schools. In this period the provision of joint educational facilities for the North and the South seemed quite remote even though the provision of liberal Western education in the North might have brought the people closer to the Occident and, therefore, closer to the South at least ideologically. As educational integration did not accord with the British policy of disciplining and limiting what they say as dangerous radicalism in the South, the colonial authorities blocked any movement towards educational uniformity. Instead, the colonial government in the North supported Koranic education and made it clear that the North was to be protected against the 'contamination' of Southern radicalism with which the colonial authority in Lagos had been fighting a recurring battle since the late 19th century. Lugard particularly believed that:The preaching of equality of Europeans and natives, however true from doctrinal point of view, is apt to be misapplied by people in low stage of development, and interpreted to mean abolition of class distinction (Coleman, 137)Similarly, he noted that "the premature teaching of English…. inevitably leads to utter disrespect for British and native ideals alike, and to a denationalized and disorganized population.
" When therefore the government released its educational plan in 1910, a plan which remained in operation with little revision till 1929, it contained the proposal for a carefully controlled education whose aim was literacy in Arabic and Hausa, the training of clerks, training of gardeners, agriculturalists and vocational workers. With the sustained implementation of this educational policy, Northern exclusivity and separate development was secured on a firm footing and the possibility of the ideological and cultural intercourse between North and South put in acute jeopardy.
The long-term impact of the educational exclusion of the North was twofold. First, the North remained grossly undereducated in Western education terms. As late as 1951 there was only one university graduate of northern origin. Second, it strengthened the role of the Northern oligarchy, a pressure group of Northern traditional rulers and their clients, whose opposition to cooperation with the South was as vehement as their invocation of their adopted Eastern, Islamic heritage. This class of Northern elites would later constitute themselves into an obstacle to national ideological integration during the pre-independence constitutional conferences, popularizing an ideology of gradualism that was a euphemism for maintaining a status quo in which they were profitably invested. In fairness to the Northern establishment, the Southern elites and their newspaper propaganda had concentrated more on the denigration of the North and its institutions than on the discrediting of British rule, the North being constantly used as a canon-fodder to attack and illustrate the failures of British policies. Moreover the educational backwardness of the North made it impossible to extend the nationalist newspaper network to the territory, especially since these newspapers were also profit-oriented, market-driven enterprises. But Southern disdain for the North was also partly to blame for this as a majority of the Northern population was Arabic-literate and the Southern elites, had they sought to create a national consciousness and a pan-Nigerian nationalism, could have employed the medium of an Arabic newspaper to reach out to the North. Thus the dilemma of the North, which revolved, according to Moyibi Amoda (1972:42), around the question of "whether (it) could contain the Orient and the Occident without being a victim of cultural schizophrenia," was also a dilemma of the South, which was similarly wary of 'Northern/Oriental influence.
' It was not until after the Second World War when the British signaled decolonization by initiating constitutional debates and conferences that the Southern elite, recognizing the inevitability of an independent Nigerian nation comprising the North and the South, began to initiate a belated pan- Nigerian nationalist struggle.
The Northern elite, far from being political greenhorns as they were portrayed in the Southern press, interpreted this belated Southern effort as an attempt to manipulate the North for a Southern dominance of a future self-governing Nigeria and therefore refused to cooperate with the Southern anti-British efforts. This attracted further denigration from the Southern press, which described the Norther elites as 'conservatives' and as people who were not sensitive to their freedom - people who preferred domination over independence. The problem was more profound; it revolved around the unwillingness of the Islamic power structure of the North to subordinate its Islamo-Oriental identity to the looming imperative of Nigerian independence, an independence process that was indexed by Western models of government and jurisprudence and was thus a subject of intense suspicion in the North. The compromise necessary to forge a true national union was not forthcoming from the South or the North. The former was steeped in a learned cultural arrogance that brooked no call for reconciliation with the cultural and religious preferences of the Islamic North. Conversely, the North enjoyed and cherished its exclusivity and despised the Southern attitude towards its worldview. In fact as early as 1943 a key figure in the Northern oligarchy and the editor of the first newspaper in the North, Gaskiya ta fi Kwabo, after refusing to associate with Nnamdi Azikiwe and other Southern members of a Nigerian press delegation to London, told them that We despise each other… we call each other ignorant; the South is proud of Western knowledge and culture; we are proud of Eastern culture. To tell you the plain truth, the people of the North put more confidence in the white man than in their black Southern brothers" (Coleman, 360). Throughout the constitutional negotiations between 1946 and 1957 the North minced no words in declaring its intention to remain an autonomous and exclusive region, if it must remain in Nigeria. Using its numerical advantage, it virtually held the constitutional talks to ransom, insisting not only on complete regional autonomy with separate foreign policy (to enable it maintain affiliation with the Islamic world), but also threatening to secede from Nigeria if it was not given 50% of the seats in the legislative assembly due to take off in 1953. The British, not willing to see its amalgamation of 1914 undermined, decided to "satisfy the agitation of the North for separate and independent development" by entrenching regionalism and regional autonomy into the constitution of 1946 and maintaining (even reinforcing) it in the revisions of 1954 and 1957.
Regionalism became a centrifugal political phenomenon which further widened the political and cultural gap between the North and the South, so that even on the question of independence it was not possible to forge a North-South consensus. The South proposed self-government in 1956 but the North insisted on the phrase "as soon as practicable"; at which the Southern delegation booed the Northern delegation, calling them stooges of the British. The Sardauna of Sokoto and the leader of the northern delegation declared in response that "the mistake of 1914 (the amalgamation) has come to light.
" This statement reflected the deep-seated conviction of the Northerners that they did not fit with the South and that they should therefore never have been brought together in one colonial state.
This period witnessed the formation and the strengthening of regional parties. The Northern Peoples Congress (NPC), which was hurriedly formed in 1949 to be a platform of Northern bargaining in the new political dispensation was firmly entrenched in the North.
[i] In the south the National Council for Nigeria and Cameroon (NCNC), which prior to the 1950s, had a pan-Southern spread retreated more or less into the heartland of Southeastern Nigeria, while the Action Group (AG) became the dominant party in the Southwest. The South, failing to draw the North out of its cultural and political cocoon, was moving to protect its base. The regional nationalisms of this period differ markedly from the trend in other West African colonies where relatively mass-based, monolithic, and rabidly centralist anti-colonial movements were emerging. In Ghana, Mali and Ivory Coast, these movements transformed into various forms of one-party states at independence and continued to discipline agitations that deviated from the national ideal.
[ii]Meanwhile the North proceeded to build a formidable regional government along lines which accommodated the cultural and ideological affinities shared by its predominantly Muslim population. It strengthened relations with the Arab world and heavily subsidized the pilgrimage to Mecca. Scholarships were awarded to deserving Muslim Northerners to study in Egypt and Saudi Arabia. The North, therefore, developed separately from the rest of Nigeria and this trend continued after independence in 1960.
Attempts to reform the Emirate bureaucracy of the north to bring it in line with democratic principles prevailing in local administration in the South was frustrated by the insistence of the Northern oligarchy on maintaining the status quo.
[iii] The south similarly pursued a separate developmental agenda. This situation made the achievement of national integration impossible throughout the 1960s, and the secession attempt by the largely Igbo-speaking eastern Nigeria in 1967 was both a culmination of a long period of mutual distrust, suspicion, and antagonism as well as an expression of the absence of a national consciousness among two broad units of the country. The creation of states to replace the semi-autonomous regions in 1975 mitigated but did not do away with the existence of different nationalisms - different nations which continued to pursue goals that corresponded to different worldviews and political and economic aspirations within an imagined national community.
Conclusion After 1945 when the pan-regional character of British colonialism in West Africa dissolved into the new emphasis on preparing each British possession for self-government, the anticolonial nationalism of each of the colonies began to unfold towards different trajectories. The trajectory followed by Nigerian nationalism differed markedly from those of other West African states; in fact its uniqueness is comparable only to India and to some extent Burma, whose ethnic and religious complexity and the multiplicity of historical experiences within their borders made the kind of integrative nationalism that was going on in other colonies impossible. The case of Nigeria was particularly difficult because it was a battleground, so to speak, between the Orient and the Occident, represented by the North and the South. Having failed (in fact lacking the ability) to block the union of these two different cultural and religious orientations, the Northern and Southern elites sought to preserve their exclusivity and the 'purity' of their cherished institutions within the political structure imposed by the British. I argued that the North, more than the South, sought political and cultural exclusivity and that this emanated from several centuries of interaction with Arab/Islamic civilization. The Southern elites similarly harbored a deep resentment of Northern institutions and feared possible Northern domination. This situation of mutual antagonism and suspicion resulted in the pursuit of centrifugal aims and militant regional nationalisms which have since independence in 1960 imposed enormous constraints on the Nigerian state, forcing Anthony Smith to conclude that for Nigeria to make the transition from country to nation-state it "will have to invent ethnic ties and sentiments, perhaps by rewriting ethnic histories and conflating ethnic cultures.
" This has not been attempted and should not be attempted because it is doomed to failure. The failure of the existing national symbols (as contrived as they are) to inspire loyalty, patriotism, or emotional attachment is a pointer to the limits of invented devices of cohesion.
For Nigeria to survive, a radical renegotiation of the union is an imperative. The aim is to do away with the modernist, centralist, and unitary assumptions and impulses that inspired the creation of Nigeria in the first place, and to concede significant economic, political, and cultural autonomy to ethnic groups or regions. A new constitution weakening the predatory, distant, parasitic, and stifling central government is necessary. This constitution must guarantee the expression of the multiple political and economic aspirations in the country and return the control and management of natural resources to areas of their derivation.

Gear Review
Nathan Maus
This hoodie is one of the best I have owned. It has a slim fit and a little longer than most (not Tall Tee/Armada Steez). I am 5'9" and 135 lbs and the Medium fits me perfect. It is very warm, has a fleece layer on the inside and a moisture wicking material on the outside. This hoodie has turned me into an O'neill customer.
I received this hoodie and instantly realized that it was thinner than I had anticipated. It was very comfortable, but was simply not as heavy as I would have liked. As mentioned by Nathan, it was slim with a long fit. I'm 6'0" @ 165lbs, and the large was the right width, but a bit too long. I chose to exchange the hoodie for another.

It's been awhile since we heard some news regarding the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1. The last time we saw the device it looked nearly ready for a launch, nicely tucked away in its official packaging. More recently, it popped up at the Bluetooth SIG, and now we're seeing the device pop up in a series of benchmarks from both GFXBench and AnTuTu, suggesting Samsung could have delayed the device to equip the device with, oddly enough, Intel latest mobile processor.
While the Antutu bench didn't really gives us much to go on other than the clockspeed (1.6GHz) and its performance — one of the highest scoring tablets to date — both benchmarking sites have the device listed as the GT-P5200, all but confirming a Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 sequel (previous Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 had the model number GT-P5100). It wasn't until this latest GFXBench that we learned this mysterious tab could now come with Intel's new Clovertrail CPU inside, instead of Samsung's own in-house Exynos.
This could be seen as a huge win for Intel who's been struggling to break into the US market largely dominated by ARM-based chips from manufacturers like Qualcomm, Nvidia, Broadcom, etc.. With Intel hiring former Palm and Apple executive Mike Bell to head their new devices unit, it looks like we may be seeing a little more of Intel this year.

Japan PM's top aide suspected of misuse of funds
Japanese prime minister Naoto Kan's right-hand man is suspected of misappropriation of political funds, a news report said Sunday, in a possible blow to Kan ahead of a party leadership race next month.
The Asahi Shimbun reported that political groups supporting Yoshito Sengoku, the Chief Cabinet Secretary and top government spokesman, had paid 3.2 million yen (38,000 dollars) to his eldest son's legal firm even though the son has little to do with his father's political activities.
The report comes ahead of a September 14 election pitting Kan against powerbroker Ichiro Ozawa for leadership of the ruling centre-left Democratic Party of Japan.
The winner of the vote will become Japan's next prime minister, raising the possibility of the country getting its sixth premier in four years.
Ozawa — a major faction leader and veteran of backroom politics dubbed the "Shadow Shogun" — announced Thursday he planned to run against Kan, who took office only in June.
The Asahi said three political groups linked to Sengoku paid the money for what were said to be staff and other fixed costs over almost three years, citing a government report on political funds.
Ozawa, a former party leader, was seen as the architect of the DPJ's landslide election a year ago and still commands the loyalty of many rookie members who owe their political fortunes to him.
But he has also become a liability over political funding scandals in which several of his aides have been indicted.
Former prime minister Yukio Hatoyama had said he would support Kan in the party leadership vote but changed his mind, saying last week he would support Ozawa.
Kan is expected to see Hatoyama on Sunday to discuss ways to avoid a major internal party rift — and possibly a breakup of the party — after the election, media reports said.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) - The Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism could no longer be housed at the University of Wisconsin under a provision added to the state budget.
The Republican-controlled Joint Finance Committee voted Wednesday on the prohibition. No UW employees would be allowed to work at the center, either.
The center is housed at UW-Madison and collaborates with the School of Journalism and Mass Communications as well as Wisconsin Public Radio and Wisconsin Public Television.
Republican Rep. John Nygren says state facilities shouldn't be provided for the center. He says it can get that elsewhere.
Democratic Sen. Bob Wirch opposes the prohibition, saying the Legislature should not try to stop investigative journalism. He says, "That is just very bad public policy."

Editor's NoteTwo gripping dramas unfold on this special double-feature, including:THE BODYGUARD: A former secret service agent is now a bodyguard for a pop superstar turned actress. In the course of protecting the unpredictable star from a homicidal fan, they develop a trust and love that is rare for both.LAWS OF ATTRACTION: Daniel Rafferty (Pierce Brosnan) and Audrey Miller (Julianne Moore) are the two top divorce lawyers in New York, so it's only natural they should meet, fall in love, and face reservations about the sanctity of marriage while tussling in court. Peter Howitt's film is a contemporary urban fairy tale and direct descendent of the screwball comedies of the 1930s, replete with pratfalls and battle-of-the-sexes repartee. The story has Moore playing the typical neurotic Manhattan professional, substituting work for a relationship. Enter Daniel (Brosnan), a rogue who wears his charm as effortlessly as his rumpled suit. Known for their in-court bickering, the pair wind up on opposite sides of a high profile case involving a philandering rock star (Michael Sheen) and his fashion designer wife (Parker Posey). The case leads both Audrey and Daniel to their clients' romantic castle in Ireland, where they find themselves married after a drunken blackout. The high-strung character of Audrey is a big change of pace for Moore, while Brosnan has it easy in a role that fits him like an old shoe. The real scene stealers here are Posey and Sheen as the couple savagely battling over custody of the castle. Along with heavy satire, this is really an old-fashioned romance at heart, and should make for a breezy night of marital therapy for stressed-out couples everywhere.

On December 18, 2012, President Barack Obama signed the March of Dimes Commemorative Coin Act of 2012, which honors the 75th anniversary of the March of Dimes and recognizes its landmark accomplishments in maternal and child health. The U.S. Senate passed the bill on December 10; the U.S. House of Representatives passed similar legislation on August 1.
The March of Dimes Commemorative Coin Act of 2012 authorizes the U.S. Mint to strike up to 500,000 silver $1 commemorative coins. A surcharge of $10 added to the coin's cost will go to the March of Dimes. If all the coins are sold, $5 million would be directed towards vital programs and scientific research to improve infant health. The March of Dimes will match these funds through private contributions.
March of Dimes volunteers across the country created a groundswell of support for the coin, sending letters, holding meetings and making phone calls to persuade 72 Senators and 305 Representatives – more than two-thirds of each chamber – to cosponsor the respective bills.
The commemorative coin will be issued in 2015 in honor of the March of Dimes' 75th Anniversary.

Garmin launched their latest GPS line up today with the Dakota 10 and 20, both devices are intended for outdoor used. They even sport a rugged format meant for use on hikes and other outdoor activities.
Both models feature a touchscreen and 850MB of memory. They can be synced with PCs and Macs for geocaching. The Dakota 10 has USB for data transfer, but the 20 sports wireless connectivity.
It also has a microSDHC card slot. Both come with worldwide maps and terrain maps plus the City Navigator NT maps. Expected to ship in August, these GPS devices are set to cost $299 and $349, respectively.
We're over the surprise of seeing new MacBook Pro models arrive at Apple's WWDC keynote, and on paper the new 13- and 15-inch notebooks certainly tick most of the consumer boxes. Our first-impressions - which you can find with our video unboxing - were that the new Pros have emphasized the most-used functionality at the expense of dropping some of the more marginally used features. Have those opinions changed? Check out our full review after the cut.
It seems that the PlayStation 3 will be getting a firmware update shortly to 3.0 status. At least, that's what a new rumor is revealing. In fact, this update will set up a reputation system for the PlayStation Network.
Acer's Timeline range of notebooks spans the gamut from 13.3-inch ULV ultraportable to 15.6-inch mainstream laptop, promising prolonged battery life with an affordable price tag. The company sent over their Aspire Timeline 3810T, a 13.3-inch 1.4GHz ULV machine with heady runtime estimates and an $899 sticker, for SlashGear to try out; check out the full review after the cut.
With over one million iPhone 3GS units sold in the first three days, there's no shortage of opinion as to Apple's successes in their latest smartphone. We've covered the basics in our hands-on first-impressions piece; with a few more days of intensive use under our belt, has the iPhone 3GS proved its worth?
The iPhone 3GS' striking physical similarity to the last-gen 3G came as a mild disappointment back at the WWDC, but we've come to appreciate the stability. It underscores the evolutionary, rather than revolutionary, nature of this update and, perhaps more importantly, it means accessories acquired for the iPhone 3G will still have a place with the new 3GS. For a device introduced halfway through the contract agreement of its predecessor, that sort of continuity was pretty much necessary if there was to be any hope encouraging existing owners to upgrade. We do wish that Apple had been a little more imaginative with the finish, however; a matte coating, perhaps slightly rubberized, would differentiate the new handset while not demanding reinvestment in car-kits, cases and cradles.
Corsair have announced two new SSDs in its Performance Series range, bringing high read/write speeds to lower price points. The P128 and P64 - which unsurprisingly offer 128GB and 64GB respectively - slot in below the current flagship P256, with the P128 offering the same 220MB/sec read rate and 200MB/sec write rate.
After telling us - and then telling us again - that the Eee Keyboard would arrive this month, ASUS are now promising their nettop-in-a-keyboard will actually drop in August 2009. Rather than blaming manufacturing delays or last-minute firmware tweaks, ASUS claim the Eee Keyboard - which squeezes in an HD capable nettop and 5-inch touchscreen - was in fact held back while they attempted to define a niche for it to sit in.
We're still harboring a soft-spot for mintpass' mintpad MID, so it's relieving to hear that the first English-modified units are meeting with approval. Pocketables shared their unboxing earlier this week, and now it's time for some first-impressions. The mintpad's 1.3-megapixel camera is proving surprisingly capable, as is the browser (despite not being fully translated yet) and the QVGA screen may be small at 2.86-inches but it's still highly readable.
The recently-released MacBook Pro firmware that promises to enable 3.0Gbps SATA connectivity has ironically been causing problems in third-party drives. Apple released the upgrade earlier this week, after users of the new 13- and 15-inch MacBook Pro models reported that the notebooks were limited to 1.5Gbps SATA; this did not affect the speed of standard-fit hard-drives, but may have limited future performance should the user upgrade to a faster HDD or SSD. Now, some users with third-party drives already installed are reporting frequent pauses, usage spikes and data errors with the new firmware.

Talk: "How to Write a Protest Song"
Tue, October 9, 2012 • 12:30 PM • Belo Center for New Media (BMC) 5.208
Karl Hagstrom Miller, associate professor of history in the College of Liberal Arts, will present "How to Write a Protest Song."
From "This Land is Your Land" to "Okie from Muskogee," the protest or political song has been a mainstay of American politics and music for a long time. In this talk, Professor Miller will explore the tangled historical intersections between music and politics in the U.S. and beyond.
There are bound to be some old favorites and some tunes that will surprise you. Bob Dylan and the Weather Girls might be mentioned. Come hear what worked and what did not, which political songs fell flat and which changed the world. Pay attention, take notes and you can write a song of your own.
This talk is sponsored by Senior Fellows, the honors program of the College of Communication. It is free and open to the public.

Gold Mirrored Tabletop Tray 21 21
Beautiful Tray I have been on the hunt for a coffee table tray for months now, and this exceeds my expectations! Other options were much more expensive and didn't have the high-end quality that this tray does. The mirror base is very elegant and the gold finish has a rubbed, vintage look to it. I love it! Feminine and pretty, but even my husband approves. June 20, 2015
High Quality Tray I couldn't be more pleased with this tray. I wanted a round non-wooden tray for my dresser top to hold a Willow Tree collection. I'm always hesitant to order sight-unseen. Quality is excellent. Size is perfect. Shipping was super fast. Will order from World Market again in the future. May 16, 2015
Great purchase Beautiful tray, looks as good as on web site, I simply love it and recommend to everyone! March 3, 2015
Really nice! Looks amazing for the price, really picked my coffee table up a notch. Has a nice weight & substance to it without looking or feeling big & bulky or too much. Love the mix of gold & mirror, have some candle holders & shells on top, looks great. Very happy. February 1, 2015
Designer's Floral Display Tray I've been using this tray under a plant on my coffee table (which is also a World Market piece, the Everett). It adds more dimension. Also pretty resistant to water damage. It's a piece of great craftsmanship. I've seen the $400 version that another reviewer nodded to -- I can't imagine why I'd pay that much when World Market has this version I'm super satisfied about for a fraction of that price. January 24, 2015
This is a very elegant tray. The tray is just as beautiful as all the previous reviewers indicated. It looks a lot more expensive than it is. It was very well packaged so there was no chance of the mirror breaking. Delivery was very efficient. January 12, 2015
just what I was looking for Even though the tray was back ordered I recieved it very quickly. very pretty and well made. I have seen simular for $200 + this is a great value. We are using in one of our hotel suites that we are renovating in the hollywood glam. January 7, 2015
Beautiful and unique! I love this design and it is very pretty in person! Easy to clean and nice to place drinks while entertaining :) The gold doesn't look cheap and has a nice antique finish too! December 30, 2014

(ABC 6 NEWS) -- We all know that with high gas prices, filling up can be pretty painful on our pocketbook.
Rochester City Delivery (RCD) has been in business for nearly 100 years, and they're no strangers to change.
"We were started in 1914 with horses. And my father was the first one who drove a delivery truck in Rochester," said Codey Kothenbeutel, the owner and president of RCD.
However, there's another change they're not happy with; fuel prices. With diesel prices averaging anywhere from $4.15 to $4.43 per gallon across southeast Minnesota, truck drivers are definitely feeling the effects.
"We get about six-point-two miles to the gallon with our semis. Of course, if you got 6.2 with your car, you wouldn't be very happy, would you?" said Kothenbeutel.
RCD's semis can hold about 300 gallons of fuel. With Diesel at $4.27 per gallon in Rochester, that can add up.
"Nine hundred dollars, a thousand dollars to fill your truck, sure," said Kothenbeutel.
It's not just truck drivers that are effected. Farmers, miners, and even some hospitals rely on diesel fuel. With prices climbing, some are holding out hope for the future, for a new kind of power.
"Now, natural gas is coming out, for fuels and so we probably would have to look at that," said Kothenbeutel.
But in the mean time.... "We want to see them go down, but there's nothing I can do. It's the way it is," said Kothenbeutel.
Rochester City Delivery officials say their fuel bill averages around $80,000 per month.

WACO (December 18, 2012) -- Brittney Griner scored the first six points of the game and third-ranked Baylor had the first 17, extending its home winning streak to 45 in a row with a 76-53 victory over 10th-ranked Tennessee on Tuesday night.
Griner finished with 17 points and 12 rebounds, her third consecutive double-double and 47th of her career. Brooklyn Pope had 11 points 16 rebounds.
Griner, the 6-foot-8 two-time All-American, had nine of Baylor's first 11 points less than 4 minutes into the game. The Lady Bears (9-1) won their seventh in a row since losing to top-ranked Stanford a week into the season.
Tennessee (7-2) had won seven in a row, including four games against Top 25 teams, since opening its first season under new head coach Holly Warlick by losing at Tennessee-Chattanooga.

Collapse Continues as Avs Move Backward

(Denver, Colorado) — They are in mid-stretch in the race for a playoff spot… and the Avs are plummeting to the basement of the Western Conference – laboring night in and night out since the month of December in which they had their best run of the season winning six games in nine days. After leading the league in offense for much of the first part of the season, the Avs have trended...

Things aren't looking good for the Colorado Avalanche these days. They have lost three games in a row and five out of the last six, and they are having difficulties getting the puck into the net. Something a bit askew for a team ranked fourth in the NHL in terms of scoring goals. There are many factors as to why the Avs are in a slump and why they can't win any games lately.

With the All-Star break in full swing, and with the second half of the season right around the corner, I thought it fitting to grade the Avalanche for what they did prior to the All-Star break.

It just goes to show that when the Colorado Avalanche score three or more goals, they are a difficult team to contain.

Health and safety
If you need to see a doctor (also known as a GP/general practitioner), you will usually need to make an appointment to visit them in their private practice or a medical centre.
Part or most of the fee will be covered by your health insurance (a requirement of having a student visa). Some GPs will request full payment at the time of consultation and you'll need to get a receipt to claim the money back from your health cover provider.
The University also has an on-campus medical service on campus: the University Health Service, located in the Wentworth Building on the Darlington Campus and the Holme Building on the Camperdown Campus. Your health insurance entitles you to visit these centres free of charge.
In Australia there are both public and private hospitals. Waiting times in hospitals can be very long, and are based on a triage system (a process of prioritising patients based on the severity of their condition).
Private hospitals are very expensive for treatment and hospitalisation. Your health insurance will cover some of the cost of some private hospitals, but you will have to pay the difference.
Your safety and security
The University of Sydney is committed to your safety. We want you to have the best possible experience during your studies here, and we're proud to have an excellent record of student safety on our campuses.
To ensure your own personal safety, firstly familiarise yourself with our Student Safety Tips, available in eight languages. Also take a look at the crime prevention website produced by the City of Sydney Council.
Above all, please follow these simple tips:
- Contact Campus Security Services if you are on campus and feel unsafe or under threat at any time, by calling 9351 3333. Keep this number in your mobile phone.
- Put the emergency number for police, fire and ambulance into the speed dial function of your mobile phone and home phone (landline). The number is 112 for mobiles, and 000 from landlines.
- Write down the number of your local police station, and keep it near your home telephone. Do not hesitate to ring the police if necessary.
- If you are walking home alone, at night or during the day, walk quickly and purposefully. If you have late lectures, arrange to walk to the bus stop, station, or home with other people, or contact Campus Security Services and ask for a security escort.
- In the evenings, use the free campus security shuttle bus to get from campus to the nearest public transport.
- Stay together with your group in social situations. Do not leave with strangers.
- Stay in well-lit areas around campus, and choose brightly lit streets with lots of other people if you have to walk alone at night.
- Be alert and stay aware of what is happening around you. If you feel someone is following you or behaving in a way that seems suspicious, move to a safe area such as a shop.
- Trust your intuition in any situation. If you feel that something is not right, take immediate steps to remove yourself from that situation.
- If you are attacked, shout, "Call 000! Someone is attacking me!" This gives people 'permission' to call 000 (112 for mobile phones).
- Plan your transport before you leave home.
- Sit in the aisle seat on the train if you are traveling late at night. Use the train carriage marked with a blue light, as this one has a security guard on board.
- Give up your bag if someone tries to snatch it. Try not to carry items or documents that cannot easily be replaced, such as your passport. Leave them in a safe place at home. If you must carry them, make sure you have a photocopy at home.
- Always keep doors and windows locked at home. Leave windows open only if they are fitted with security bars. If you have a security door, keep it locked at all times. Do not open your door to strangers.
- At a bar or club, always buy your own drinks and never leave your drink unattended, to avoid your drinks being spiked.
- When you're at the beach, always swim between the red and yellow flags, where surf lifesavers can see you.

OAK RIDGE, Tenn., Nov. 14, 2013 -- About 100 students representing 18 Knoxville area teams will compete in a regional LEGO tournament Saturday, Nov. 16 at Hardin Valley Academy, working with miniature robots that perform required tasks on a table.
"This year's theme in 'Nature's Fury,'" said John Tilson, a Hardin Valley science teacher and Saturday's tournament director. "The students have a lot of problems they need to solve. They design and build a predominantly LEGO robot. They perform a certain number of challenges and they get points for each challenge. They have to do certain rescues and they have to move certain items from place to place."
The competition embodies all aspects of STEM education, including science, technology, engineering and math.
"The students have to develop an idea and move forward with a strategy," Tilson added. "The idea this is problem-based solving and learning is a tremendous part of this program."
Activity starts at 8:30 a.m. and continues until 3:30 p.m. Top teams from the Knoxville tournament advance to the state tournament Dec. 7 at Tennessee Tech University in Cookeville.
December's Tennessee FIRST LEGO Tournament is co-sponsored by Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Tennessee Tech.
UT-Battelle manages ORNL for the Department of Energy's Office of Science.

iMac monthly service?

Posts: 18
I rang what i thought was a direct UK Applecare number from my browser,and in order to help with a problem went through the remote access procedure, i then saw that it was Iyogi which was new to me,but was told that they help to sort-out any mac problems.
The woman i was speaking to said that my mac was very slow(it's not really) and asked how old it was..i said just one month old and she then said have i had it serviced?...and announced that i should be getting it done at lease every other month,but preferably once a month!
When i questioned this...and said i had never had to do this on my previous windows pc,she told me that mac's are different and that if i didn't get it serviced it would eventually stop working altogether?
She then said not to worry as she could give it a good check-over and rectify any problems for a one off payment which would cover me for a year? Alarm bells started ringing in me and i told her that i am still within my free 90 days Applecare plan..she said she would have to check this and then continue with my mac check,which would still incur a small one-off fee!
I told her i was not willing to go ahead and that i would get into contact with Applecare. She said ok i will give you a direct number to call. I did not use the number and ended the session and then checked Iyogi reviews..which were poor to say the least!
Just concerned now that they may have introduced a virus or something on my mac whilst having remote access...i am new to mac...is there any way that i could check to see if it's ok?

Juast wanted to say that I followed the guide and it worked perfectly. Thank You!
Hi all,
Will this help my Wii which I cannot resolve. I use HackMii Installer v0.6 and got the following message and now I cannot load Homebrew:
"This installer cannot continue! There is no known vulnerable IOS installed on this Wii. Please note that we will not use a fakesigned IOS due to security reasons. If this is already the latest version...well, suck it."
I tried HackMii installer V8.0 but it just freezes when I press "1" to continue.
Please help, I have softmod two Wii's before and have never had this happened to me, I was helping my nephew out so unsure what he did beforehand.
Juast wanted to say that I followed the guide and it worked perfectly. Thank You!
I'm on 4.2E but i want to do a different softmod so i'd like to clean my console first .
Can't i just do a NAND restore ? Will it clean everything ( Cios , Trucha , Channels etc ? )
Or, can i do a system update to 4.3 ? ( i can hack it so no worries )
Hi, i think theres something wrong with pack 2's link. It asked for a password I put it in (www.wiihacks.com) then when it says click here to start download i click and it goes back to enter password again. Some help please!
How can I do the last step, my SD slot reader is completely broken. Is there any other way of getting rid of HBC, BootMii and DVDx and whatnot
i follow this guide and it works great. i delete all channel except mii and the dvd logo to load retail dvd game. my wii work great. i guess it's ok right? since i don;t need those extra stuff.
Thanks you so much. Worked for me step by step
Hi all,
I am a relative newbie who was able to softmod my Wii 4.2U but now want to "virginize" it again. However, "Nand clean" is missing from the HBC menu. I do have Priiloader and DVDX installed. Is there anyway I can install Nand Clean? Please help.
Thank you.
OK. It looks like I need help with my wii 4.2U. I'm trying to virginize it and nothing works. I installed a softmode some time ago but my HBC stopped working. I formatted my wii ( I know) and today I'm not able to reinstall HBC. It freezes on the warning screen (no press 1 button to continue) and my wii remote controller is losing connection.
I'm not able to play regular games - it freezes after hitting a "start" button. No WIFI connection either - can not find access point. I followed this guide but even the wad manager freezes on different IOS. I used wad manager 1.4 and was able to install all IOS's but 2: a 4.2u system menu.wad and IOS61-64-v5405.wad. I tried this guide too:
but what I was able to do is just downgrading IOS 15. Everything else .....freezes. I used 2 different SD cards = same thing. Any help will be appreciated.

Ben Fields: Holliday gets roughed up during loss
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — You know it's been a tough day for a football team when the head coach has to get stitches.
Marshall head coach Doc Holliday came out to address the media Saturday following Purdue's 51-41 defeat of the Thundering Herd with a gaping cut on the right side of his face.
It happened in the third quarter when linebacker Jeremiah Taylor blocked a Purdue punt, and Herd linebacker Derek Mitchell returned it for a touchdown. Holliday collided with a referee on the play, and got a huge cut and a penalty for his trouble.
"I don't know (exactly what happened)," Holliday said. "I ran into a big official, or he was bigger than I was, anyway."
Marshall was assessed a delay of game penalty for Holliday's collision with the ref.
The play itself gave the Herd a huge boost, as it cut the lead to 42-28 on a comeback from being down 42-14 at the half.
"We thought coming in that we could maybe block a punt," Holliday said. "To get in there and get a touchdown out of it, that helped us a bunch."
NO VAN: The number one running back on the depth chart at the beginning of the season, Travon Van made the switch to cornerback last week.
However, Van didn't make the trip to Purdue.
Holliday said Van was injured.
"He's hurt. He's got a deal where he just couldn't play," Holliday said. "I don't want to get into what it was, but he's got an injury.
RECORDS FALLING: Not only did Tommy Shuler set the Marshall record for receptions in a game with 19, while Rakeem Cato was shattering personal bests, but a few other records fell in the clash between the Herd and the Boilers.
Purdue's Ricardo Allen got his fourth career interception return for a touchdown, breaking a mark held by former Purdue player and Pro Football Hall of Fame member Rod Woodson.
Boilermaker corner Josh Johnson also returned a pick for a touchdown, tying the Purdue record for interceptions returned for a touchdown in a game.
Cato's 45 completions against Purdue broke the record for completed passes given up by the Boilermakers, the previous mark being 39 by Illinois quarterback Jack Trudeau in 1985.
CHUCK THE ROCK?: Marshall's Rakeem Cato has eclipsed the 400-yard mark on three separate occasions through five games this season.
The Herd's record in those three games? 0-3.
Cato's 439-yard performance reset his own career-high and tied for 10th all-time on the Marshall single-game list with Stan Hill, who threw for 439 against Akron in 2004.
200-YARD CLUB: With 19 receptions and 200 yards, Tommy Shuler became the seventh Marshall receiver in history to break the 200-yard plateau.
He joins Randy Moss, Josh Davis, Andre Motley, Troy Brown, Denero Marriott and Mike Barber in that category.
His 19 receptions also broke the former Marshall single-game record of 15 receptions, set by Marriott, Davis and David Foye.
QUICK START: Antavious Wilson's 4-yard touchdown catch from Rakeem Cato with 6:27 left in the first quarter marked the first time all season the Boilermakers were scored on in the opening period.

Students at Anderson County Middle School have probably seen The Amazing Race, Survivor or other reality shows.
But last Friday, they experienced The Reality Store.
Unlike television, the program administered by the Cooperative Extension Service was in fact, reality.
Working on different scenarios that put them in the real world, eighth-graders were forced to deal with the ups-and-downs of real life. Some had high-paying jobs. Others barely got by. Some joined the National Guard and a few even went AWOL.
There was a crucial softball lesson emerging from Anderson County's 8-5 loss to visiting Lafayette last Wednesday.
"You can't make the kind of mistakes we made against a great team and still expect to win," Lady Bearcat coach Brian Glass said with a smile that defied how his team, ranked 18th in the state, had seen one slip through its gloves.
The Anderson County High School dance team totally understands how important the University of Kentucky's basketball win over North Carolina was back in December.
On the same day the Wildcats were putting a bit of distance between themselves and their closest challenger for reaching 2,000 wins first, the Dance Cats were making a bit of history of their own next door in Lexington's Heritage Hall.
Anderson took first place in the JamFest Winter Jam, earning a spot in the U.S. Finals, to be held this weekend in Baton Rouge, La.

An Anderson County Middle School student had both legs run over by a vehicle Monday afternoon at the corner of Saffell and Woodford streets.
The unidentified seventh grader suffered a series of bumps and bruises and was transported by Anderson County EMS to an area hospital.
Emergency Management Director Bart Powell said despite having his legs run over, the student suffered no broken bones and was expected to be OK.
Vandalizing the restrooms at the American Legion ball fields isn't as easy as it used to be.
Just ask the 16-year-old who on Thursday afternoon admitted to police that he was responsible for doing just that.
The boy admitted that he had kicked down dividers between two urinals around 7:30 p.m. Wednesday night, giddily unaware that around two hours earlier, technicians had just placed the finishing touches on security cameras aimed directly at the restroom door.
Two high school students were taken to the hospital and several more slightly injured Monday afternoon when a school bus slid off Alton Station Road and into a ditch.
Both high school students complained of back pain and were transported to an area hospital, according to Anderson County Emergency Management Director Bart Powell.
Four other students were treated at the scene for various bumps and bruises before being released to their parents, Powell said.
Sheriff's deputies responding to a homeowner's concern booted three alleged scam artists out of Anderson County last week.
Deputy Eddie Holmes said he responded to a call on Mays Road in western Anderson County after a person there said a group of men stopped by, asking to paint her barn roof.
Holmes said the person saw an article in last week's edition of The Anderson News, warning that groups of so-called "Irish Travelers" had been spotted in the area.
The Alton Station man indicted on three felony counts for possessing child pornography remains at large, according to Attorney General Jack Conway's office.
Mark Curtis Whitaker, 54, of 1140 Alton Station Road, was indicted March 16 by the Anderson County Grand Jury. Authorities have been looking for him since that time.
"We are working with local authorities to locate him and bring him into custody," said Allison Martin, a spokesperson for the attorney general's office in Frankfort.

As an infant, Lou suffered a series of ear infections and lost 80% of his hearing (though his condition was not diagnosed until he was three years old). This circumstance led to bullying both in school and at home. Lost and unhappy, Lou turned to larger-than-life figures like actor/bodybuilder Steve Reeves and Marvel's The Incredible Hulk for inspiration. These two icons would dictate who he would become and how he would live his life.READ MORE

Sen. Murkowski's staff visits:
Kristi Williams, a Legislative Assistant with Sen. Lisa Murkowski's office visited SEARHC last week. Ms. Williams is Sen. Murkowski's lead staff person on tribal health issues. She joined us for a tour of our Ethel Lund Medical Center, executive offices, and Dental/Behavioral Health, WIC, Health Promotion building on the Juneau campus.

Budget and Audit Committee meets:
On Friday, Aug. 12, the Board's Budget and Audit Committee met in a work session to review the Fiscal Year 2012 operating and capital budgets. Our next fiscal year begins on Oct. 1. The committee reviewed projected operating revenues and expenses as well as the proposed capital budget. Revenues from the Indian Health Service compact are expected to remain flat with some increases in our patient generated service revenue. This revenue increases are a combination of improved collections and higher volumes. To balance the increases in labor expenses, nonlabor expenses were held to FY2011 levels. Several business plans and service expansion proposals were presented to the committee. Committee members provided guidance on the budget format and clarification on expenditures. The committee advanced the draft budgets for consideration by the full Board of Directors.

Jessika Beam named new SE AHEC director:
Jessika Beam will become the new director of the SEARHC-hosted Southeast Area Health Education Center on Aug. 28. Jessika has been with SEARHC and the SE AHEC program as the health career coordinator for over two years, placing health professions students in clinical rotations and arranging job shadows in healthcare facilities throughout our region. Jessika's intimate knowledge of the mission, values and goals of the program made her the ideal candidate to fill the position being vacated due to the retirement of current director Iva GreyWolf, PhD, on Aug. 26. The SE AHEC recently moved to Room 219 at the At Kaník Hít Community Health building after spending the past two years in the Human Resources building in Sitka. The SE AHEC is one of six regional sites in the state's AHEC program, which is designed to help build Alaska's health care staffing. The state AHEC program works to help encourage Alaskans from disadvantaged backgrounds (including rural communities) get into health careers, helps organize clinical rotations to encourage advanced health students decide to stay in Alaska, and provides continuing education to help retain those workers.

SEARHC works to clear up pharmacy discrepancy:
An internal audit by SEARHC recently found a discrepancy at our Ethel Lund Medical Center pharmacy in Juneau. SEARHC is working with the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) and the Juneau Police Department (JPD) to resolve this issue and to implement guidance set forth by the DEA. As a further result of this internal review, SEARHC will be working with a pharmacy consultant on the operations of all SEARHC pharmacy facilities. No pharmacy services to patients are impacted.

Receptions for former COO Frank Sutton being arranged:
We have set the dates for two community celebrations of former COO Frank Sutton's lengthy career with SEARHC. The first celebration will be on Thursday, Aug. 25, in Juneau to coincide with the Board's budget meeting. The second celebration will be on Thursday, Sept. 22, in Sitka. We will let you know more once we have the times and exact locations set for these events, but you can mark the dates on your calendars now. Frank retired on Aug. 5 after 40 years with SEARHC, and we want to honor that service.

Fall mobile mammogram schedule ready to start:
The Fall 2011 schedule for the mobile mammogram van program has been announced, and it will start with a visit Aug. 22-26 to Hoonah. Other trips on the fall schedule include Aug. 29-Sept. 12 in Haines, Sept. 13-14 in Skagway, Sept. 20-30 and Oct. 5-11 in Klawock, Oct. 3-4 in Craig and Oct. 13-21 in Metlakatla. The mobile mammogram van program is operated as a partnership between Bartlett Regional Hospital and the SEARHC WISEWOMAN Women's Health Program. Women are encouraged to contact their local clinics before the scheduled visit because they will need to have had a clinical breast exam before they can get their mammograms. The SEARHC WISEWOMAN Women's Health Program provides free clinical breast exams, mammograms, Pap tests and cardiovascular screenings for all women ages 40 and older who meet income and insurance guidelines. For more information, contact your local clinic, call the SEARHC WISEWOMAN Women's Health Program in Sitka at 966-8782 (or 1-888-388-8782, toll-free in Alaska), or send e-mail to

Free at-home STD testing kits available from ANTHC:
Unfortunately, Alaska had the country's highest rate of chlamydia and second-highest rate of gonorrhea in 2010, so the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium (ANTHC) is launching the "I Want The Kit" (IWTK) at-home testing service to help reduce those numbers. Each home test kit comes in an anonymous envelope with instructions, a unique identification number and a prepaid return envelope to return self-collected vaginal, penile or rectal swabs in specially sealed test tubes to the IWTK lab at Johns Hopkins University in Maryland. The lab tests the swabs for Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Trichomonas vaginalis. The free tests are provided through a partnership between ANTHC, the Indian Health Service (IHS) and Johns Hopkins University, and they are available to anyone residing in Alaska. Alaskans can request the at-home testing kits online at
(ANTHC's site about sexually transmitted disease testing) or
(Johns Hopkins University's national site for the kits, which also are available in the Lower 48), or by calling (toll-free) 1-866-575-5504. Anybody with a positive test will be contacted with various options for treatment. Alaskans with questions can contact ANTHC's HIV/STD Program Services (toll-free) at 1-877-334-8762.
