HIV prevention interventions are needed to assist people living with HIV/AIDS to adhere to their medications and not transmit the virus to others. This study is testing a behavioral intervention designed to address both medication adherence and risk reduction in people living with HIV/AIDS. It is hypothesized that the experimental behavioral intervention will show improved medication adherence and safer sexual behaviors compared to a comparison group.

Detailed Description:
Non-adherence to antiretroviral medications can lead to the development of treatment resistant genetic variants of HIV which can then be transmitted to sexual risk partners. Interventions are urgently needed to reduce the risk of HIV treatment resistance and the risks of transmitting HIV. This application proposes to test a theory-based behavioral intervention to simultaneously improve HIV treatment adherence and reduce HIV transmission risk behaviors in people living with HIV-AIDS. Grounded in behavioral theory, the experimental intervention will be delivered in a mixed format model with five group sessions preceded by and followed by one individual counseling session conducted by community-based group facilitators. The intervention will be conducted at an AIDS service organization in Atlanta. Men and women will be recruited from a variety of AIDS services and infectious disease clinics. Following informed consent and baseline assessments participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the (a) integrated HIV treatment adherence - risk reduction intervention or (b) a time-matched sexual risk reduction intervention, or (c) a time matched non-contaminating comparison intervention. Participants will be followed over the course of a 9-month observation period. Assessments will include measures of information, motivation, and behavioral skills pertaining to HIV treatment adherence and HIV transmission risks and risk reduction, medication adherence, sexual transmission risk behaviors, viral load, and CD4 cell counts. The study will test the hypothesis that a unified, integrated theory-based HIV treatment and risk reduction intervention will improve HIV treatment adherence, reduce HIV transmission risk behaviors, and improve health as indexed by viral load and CD4 cell counts. The study will also examine the influence of theoretical constructs on intervention outcomes. The intervention under investigation will be among the first to simultaneously address treatment adherence and risk behavior in an integrated model derived from a single, unified theory of health behavior. If shown effective, the intervention model will be ready for immediate dissemination to community services for people living with HIV-AIDS.

It's easy to find tacky, gaudy, or just plain overcomplicated lamps--the kinds of lamps you'd expect to see at a themed hotel. I was out shopping the other day and saw a lamp with a gilded base in the form of (get this) an elephant carrying on its back a monkey holding a stick that bore a cockatoo on one branch and the light bulb and red-and-gold-brocade lampshade on the other branch. It was actually kind of awesome, but there are very few rooms human beings have ever devised that can handle that kind of thing. Most rooms need a more modern lamp, a lamp that doesn't draw your attention when you don't want it to, but is actually quite gorgeous when you look at it. With six different lines to choose from, and tons of available lampshade patterns, Lights Up! has the lamp you're looking for. You want a colored resin base? They've got it. You want a box lamp with almost no visible hardware? They've got it. You want a brushed-nickel floor lamp? They've got it. You want that elephant-monkey-and-cockatoo thing? For that, you have to go someplace else.

The Carbon High Lady Dinos Softball team is hoping that a strong start in their Region 12 opener is an indication of things to come over the season.
The Lady Dinos defeated Juab 4-3 in their region opener in a game that saw the lead change hands four times in the middle innings.
Juab took a 1-0 lead in the top of the third inning. The Lady Dinos finally got on the board in the bottom of the fourth inning as they scored two runs to take a 2-1 lead.
Juab retook the lead in the top of the fifth inning scoring two runs to put the Lady Dinos behind 3-2.
Carbon High head coach Kirt Nunley said earlier this season that the offense needed to string together hits and keep rallies going. The Lady Dinos wasted no time in taking control of the game with two more runs in the bottom of the fifth inning to take a 4-3 lead.
The team clamped down over the final two innings and held on for the Region 12 victory.
The Lady Dinos traveled to play against Richfield on Wednesday, April 3. The team will travel to North Sanpete on Monday, April 8 before returning home on Wednesday, April 10 to host Payson.

European Commission fails to reach majority in neonicotinoids vote
March 18, 2013 | Natasha Alperowicz
The European Commission says that "no qualified majority was reached" in a vote by member states concerning the possible ban of three neonicotinoids: clothanidin and imidacloprid, both Bayer CropScience products; and thiametoxam, which is produced by Syngenta, for allegedly harming the health of honeybees. The vote was in response to the publication on 16 January by European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) of a report that identified "high acute risks" for bees when exposed to dust in several crops. The commission, while not...

06/11/02: Jury awards $4.4 million verdict for Judi Bari and Darryl Cherney!
OAKLAND,CA - The jury in the Judi Bari and Darryl Cherney federal civil rights lawsuit against four FBI agents and three Oakland Police officers awarded plaintiffs $4.4 million for violation of the activists' Constitutional rights and returned a verdict largely in favor of Earth First! activists Cherney and the late Judi Bari. In a legal victory of historic proportions against the FBI, the jury found that six of the seven defendants violated the First and Fourth Amendments of the Constitution by arresting the activists, conducting searches of their homes, and carrying out a smear campaign in the press, calling Earth First! a terrorist organization and calling the activists bombers, in the aftermath of the explosion of a bomb that was planted in Judi Bari's car in 1990. This verdict finds unlawful the actions of those in charge of the bombing investigation, and vindicates Bari and Cherney.
FBI agents Frank Doyle, John Reikes, Philip Sena and OPD officer Mike Sims were found to have violated Bari and Cherney's First Amendment rights. In addition, OPD officer Sitterud was found to have violated Cherney's First Amendment rights. Doyle was found to have violated Bari's Fourth Amendment rights related to the search of her home, and Doyle and OPD officer Chenault were found to have violated Cherney's Fourth Amendment rights. FBI agent Doyle and OPD officer Sims were found to have violated Bari's Fourth Amendment rights in relation to her arrest. The jury returned an "undecided" verdict with respect to violations of Cherney's Fourth Amendment rights for his arrest.
Frank Doyle was the agent in charge of the 1990 bomb scene, and taught an FBI bomb school at a Louisiana Pacific clearcut a month prior to the bombing. Doyle was also the Squad 13 relief supervisor. Squad 13 was the joint terrorism squad made up of FBI and Oakland officers and collected extensive files on political groups in the Bay Area.
Reikes was the head of the FBI's terrorist squad who came to OPD headquarters the day of the bombing to give the inflammatory briefing on Earth First!
Sena was already engaged in a secret investigation of Earth First! and concocted a fake informant tip.
Sims was an OPD homicide lieutenant in charge of other officers investigating the bombing and the decision-maker for the unjust arrests of the activists.
Sitterud ignored evidence at the scene and concocted information that would implicate the activists. Chenault wrote the first fraudulent search warrant affidavit.
This verdict is a referendum against the FBI's gross interference with people's right to dissent at a time when Attorney General Ashcroft, FBI Director Mueller and the Bush administration are arrogating huge power to themselves and the FBI to spy on legitimate groups and organizers and infringe the Constitutional rights of the public. The filled-out 21-page verdict form is available for viewing and printing at http://www.judibari.org/third_verdict_form_final.pdf
05/24/02: Help Celebrate Wesley Willis' 39th Birthdayand eBay can censor my arse
Wesley called me at home again last night from his vacation (now in Denver, CO). I think the purpose of his call was to remind me of his birthday, May 31st (and to ask for an advance check so that he could properly celebrate his birthday.) He originally asked for $1500 but we were able to talk him down to $300.00)
Although we cannot be physically with him on his birthday, we will be there in spirit!
We are putting his music on sale for the entire week - from now until his birthday, May 31st!
In addition, we will be auctioning some Wesley Willis items on eBay - such as drawings, t-shirts, stickers,...
We hope to start 39 auctions in the next few days to celebrate his 39th birthday!
(BTW - as you know, once in a while we throw some stuff up on eBay to help spread the word about some of our bands, and to make some rarities and collectibles available to our fans. Well, the other day, eBay *Cancelled* a bunch of our auctions due to language that was in violation of their user policy. Well, unfortunately, alot of that was Wesley Willis song titles! So, we are changing, "censoring" some language (mainly song titles) in our eBay descriptions.....just so you know. Other "items" they had a problem with was the band the "Dicks" and some MIA song and some DK shirt.......)
Wesley Willis rarities and stuff on eBay :
Or type in eBay user : Virus235
Yes, thanks for asking....we DO have a street team. However, due to an enormous response to the initial call, we are not actively recruiting new members right now. We do hope to expand the team at a later date so if you are interested here are the details:
Street team responsibilities include: passing out flyers at shows, hanging up posters around town, dropping off promotional material and doing stock checks at record stores, etc. Participants are volunteers (read: no pay), but perks include A.T. releases and merch as well as tickets to see A.T. bands when they come through your town...and of course, the satisfaction of helping one of the oldest punk labels still around! You don't need experience--just the desire to spread the A.T. gospel and some free time to devote to our cause.
If you would like more information, please e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com and tell us how we make you tick.
04/30/02: DK's Fresh Fruit TAKEN AWAY FROM A.T.
The debut album by Dead Kennedys "Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables" has been availble via AT for the U.S. for around 15 years now. We have always licensed it from Cherry Red Records in the U.K. Despite such a long-standing relationship, the owner of Cherry Red Records decided not to re-new our contract due to East Bay Ray complaining to him for years that he should switch labels for the U.S.
The last day we were allowed to sell it was April 15, 2002.
It will be coming out on another label at the end of April.
Nomeansno have informed us that they are leaving Alternative Tentacles Records after a 15 year relationship and over a dozen releases. The split is amicable, yet the label feels shocked, saddened and bewildered by the announcement. There wasn't any voiced disappointment by the band, rather, the band and their management decided to merely end the arrangement. They said that they wanted to control their records. But heck, thats how it goes! This is the music industry (well, kinda).
Effective April 15, 2002, Mordam Records, our distributor, can no longer distribute the Nomeansno catalog, rendering the entire catalog no longer available to the public. (That is the bewildering part as they haven't announced a new label or distributor so their items will be effectively out of print.)
(Also included is the Hanson Brothers album. Not included is the Jello Biafra & NMN release.)
We will continue to sell our remaining stock (what's left of it) through our mailorder for the next few weeks until we get rid of it all.
So, ALL NOMEANSNO LPs on SALE for $4.99 until supplies last AND ALL NOMEANSNO CDs on SALE for $7.99 until supplies last
We wish the band the best of luck in the future.
Band: Free Beer
Title: The Only Beer that Matters
Your salad days resurrected on CD and vinyl!! Yes, folks, it is safe to drain the pool and tune up that dusty deck in yer closet because we are re-issuing (actually issuing in some cases as most of this hasn't been really available before) some obscure yet essential skate punk records this summer. Cool stuff from the early 80's. This is not the Sum 182 Warped Tour brand of skate punk. It's the *real* deal from when skaters weren't sponsored and skate parks were mere castles in the sky.
Sorry kiddo, duct tape and grip tape not included...
Mr. Jim Bennett, Stn. Mgr
Dear Mr. Bennett:
I've been hearing with growing disbelief, from the grapevine, tales of the banning of the award winning reporter/producer, Noelle Hanrahan, from KPFA-FM.
I can't, for the life of me, understand the logic of removing a journalist who is so able, so talented, so aggressive in pursuit of her craft, from the public airwaves. How can such a decision serve the best interest of the listening public, who turn to KPFA and her Pacifica affiliates for an antidote to the deadly corporate drone that passes for news these days?
She has been a courageous and principled lifeline, not just for myself, but for a number of folks who are locked down in U.S. gulags. While I have some appreciation of the tensions inherent in the management-employee relationship, I believe the bottom line (i.e., the listening, supporting public) should decide the question. I think it's clear that Noelle's work is a definite plus, that rebounds to the benefit of KPFA and the listeners.
May I suggest that you look at this as an opportunity (rather than a management problem) to rebut the presumption that this is a retaliatory BAN in response to gender harassment claims that have recently been filed?
KPFA has justly been seen as a bright light in the night sky of radio broadcasting, and Noelle Hanrahan's passion, expertise and sheer guts have unquestionably added to that luster.
I ask that you restore her to her slot on-drive time Flashpoints, and let someone who clearly loves her work -- do what she does best -- work.
By so doing we all are winners; the listeners, staff, management, the broader movement -- all of us.
I thank you, in advance, for doing the right thing.
Ona Move! LLJA!
To support Noelle Hanrahan and for more information call 415-648-4505.
And take action and put pressure on :
Call Pacifica Exec. Director Dan Coughlin Exec. Director of Pacifica 917-647-9339; email@example.com
KPFA Station Manager Jim Bennett 510-848-6767 x203 email@example.com
P.S. if bennett tells you there were "other problems" ask him what specifically. Write it down. Then remind him that there were "No disciplinary actions against Noelle prior to his Banning of her". Ask why she is banned.

02/05/02: FEBRUARY IS JAD FAIR MONTH; ART SHOW, etc.
Jad Fair is a living legend. He is the star of Half Japanese, an extremely prolific solo artist, and collaborator extraordinaire. He has released close to 50 albums (under various monikers). He started Half Japanese in 1975 (a track from HJ appeared on the notorious AT compilation "Let Them Eat Jellybeans" in the early 80's) and has kept it active to the present with a revolving line-up. Jad's music has been described as quirky, punk, childlike, beautiful, poppy, folksy, noisy, avant garde, you name it. Lyrically Jad tends to sing about : candy, love and monsters. There was even a documentary released about Half Japanese in the early 90's entitled "The Band That Would Be King".
He is a name to be reckoned with and has influenced countless indie rock and punk bands for decades. Hence he is deserving of his own month at Alternative Tentacles.
Aside from his music, you may well recognize his artwork. He even has art shows
in galleries across the globe.
To celebrate JAD FAIR month, we are making his new album with TEENAGE FANCLUB "Words Of Wisdom & Hope" available to our mailorder fans a week earlier than when you can buy it on other websites or in stores!
And we are having all kinds of Contests and Giveaways on our website!
We have signed JAD FAIR goodies that we are auctioning on eBay!
View Jad's amazing artwork (drawings, paper cut-outs, etc. - rotating every few days.)
And all CDs (except the brand new one) are ON SALE for $9.99!
Hail George, Conqueror of Evildoers!
Dear George W. Bush:
Hats off to you, sir, for a job well done! The Soviets tried for ten years to do what it took you only two months to accomplish in Afghanistan. How did you do that? It's funny how a couple months ago there were all these Taliban, and now -- there aren't any! You must be some kind of super magician -- almost as good at disappearing acts as ol' Osama (or, as they say on the Fox Nuisance Channel, "Usama" -- I like their spelling better, like "We put the 'USA' in USAma!"). He did exist, didn't he? I would hate to have gotten myself all worked up over the wrong evildoer! I loved that last tape of his, the home video of his sleepover with that sheik. What a party animal, that guy!
And how 'bout that Northern Alliance! Thanks to them, my weekly supply of heroin will finally be reinstated. Whoo-hoo -- and just in time for New Year's Rockin' Eve! Those Taliban simply did NOT have the best delivery system for the stuff, kinda like why you never see Beaman's gum anymore -- poor distribution and shelf placement. According to the New York Times, the Northern Alliance has put all the poppy farmers back to work, and they are promising a "bumper crop" by spring.
But Mr. Bush, I am most impressed with how you have used those who died on September 11th to justify your lining the pockets of your rich friends and campaign contributors. Your "Economic Stimulus Bill" -- pure genius! You actually got the House of Representatives to pass a bill eliminating the law that said corporations have to pay at least a token minimum tax every year.
See, most people forget that back in your daddy's day (when he was VP) thousands of companies were able to lawyer their way out of paying any taxes at all! Then a law was passed to stop that. Now you got the House to agree to give all these corporations back ALL the minimum taxes they have paid since 1986!! That's $140 billion of givebacks ($1.4 billion to IBM, a billion to Ford, $800 million to GM, etc.). And you got this passed, all under the guise of "September 11th!" How do you get away with this without the American public whoopin' your behind? Man, you are THE MAN!
Hey, and tell your top sheriff, Big John Ashcroft, that his refusal to let the FBI look at the files of gun background checks that the Justice Department keeps -- to see if any of the terrorists or suspected terrorists have purchased weapons in the past two years -- took some balls! Even though checking those files might turn up information that could protect us in possible future attacks, Ashcroft was more concerned with not upsetting the NRA than in helping his own FBI catch the bad guys. Now that's what I call getting your priorities straight. Big John may have lost his Senate seat last year to a dead guy, but he sure as heck ain't gonna lose me as a huge admirer!
Well, I better go before someone from the Office of Homeland Security mistakes me for someone who needs to be "interviewed!" Rest assured I'm doing my part for the country by shopping my sorry ass off in this week before Christmas. Buy! Buy! Buy! Tora! Tora! Tora! Bora! Whoo-hoo, Prince O' Peace!! Fight Team Fight! Go get 'em, George, Jr. -- we're counting on you to kill all evildoers!
Yours, PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) -
PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) -A federal judge Tuesday overturned the death sentence of former journalist and Black Panther Mumia Abu-Jamal, and ordered a new sentencing hearing for the convicted cop-killer.
U.S. District Judge William Yohn let stand Abu-Jamal's conviction for the Dec. 9, 1981, murder of Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner, however, denying the death row inmate's request for a new trial. But Yohn gave the state 180 days to conduct a fresh sentencing hearing, citing errors in the original penalty phase of his murder trial.
Abu-Jamal is a cause celebre among death penalty opponents around the world, including Hollywood celebrities and European public figures, many of whom regard him as a political prisoner.
Philadelphia prosecutors say Abu-Jamal murdered Faulkner during a shootout more than 20 years ago, after the police officer pulled over his brother for driving the wrong way down a one-way street. Abu-Jamal, who was wounded in the chest, contends he was shot while running away.
With dogged backing from a network of supporters, Abu-Jamal has repeatedly maintained his innocence in Faulkner's death and launched numerous legal appeals to stall his execution.
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) -
Look out, G.I. Joe.
Here comes "LAPD Patrol Officer West," a tiny, sinewy action figure doll dressed just like a Los Angeles police officer right down to his tiny die-cast metal gun, handcuffs, pepper spray and black boots -- all for $39.95 and available in time for Christmas.
The Los Angeles Police Protective League (LAPPL), a union representing about 9,000 Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) officers, has begun selling the dolls, dressed in authentic LAPD uniforms, via the department's Web site (www.lapd.com) in order to raise the profile of law enforcement officers in the community, a spokesman said.
"These action figures are not only great gifts for law enforcement officers and children, but they are also a great way to show pride in the law enforcement heroes that are protecting our nation right now," said LAPPL President Mitzi Grasso.
"The extensive planning and design that went into these figures to make sure that they are realistic representations of police officers makes them quality gifts," Grasso added.
Standing one-foot (.34 meters) tall, the dolls are the first in a series of "LAPD Elite Force Action Figures" that will come complete with 1/6-scale weapons and accessories. Also in time for the 2001 holiday season, the LAPPL has introduced a female companion for West, "Patrol Officer Sommers."
New officer dolls will follow each quarter, the union said in a statement, including officers assigned to K9 dog units, SWAT teams, narcotics, air support, horse-mounted patrol, bicycle detail, riot control and motorcycle patrol.
The dolls follow a massive recruiting campaign launched last summer by the scandal-plagued force, involving radio spots, print ads, theater and bus shelter promos and 50 billboards. The campaign aims at attracting more recruits by spotlighting the good, caring actions of the department's officers.
Recruitment and retention of qualified personnel has been a major problem for the department since the city's Rampart station corruption scandal broke in September 1999. In that scandal, an officer who was accused of stealing cocaine from an evidence locker began detailing pervasive corruption at the Rampart station.
More than 100 criminal convictions have been recorded in the scandal, which is expected to cost the city hundreds of millions of dollars in legal and settlement costs.
The LAPD currently has fewer than the 9,000 officers required to patrol the nation's second-largest city, and about 800 below its level of two years ago.
Recent figures show that the department needs to recruit between 16,000 and 27,000 applicants just to hire the 1,000 extra officers it needs to meet city standards because applicants face an extensive screening process.

Feathers: The Evolution of a Natural Miracleby Thor Hanson
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Feathers are an evolutionary marvel: aerodynamic, insulating, beguiling. They date back more than 100 million years. Yet their story has never been fully told.
In Feathers, biologist Thor Hanson details a sweeping natural history, as feathers have been used to fly, protect, attract, and adorn through time and place. Applying the research of paleontologists, ornithologists, biologists, engineers, and even art historians, Hanson asks: What are feathers? How did they evolve? What do they mean to us?
Engineers call feathers the most efficient insulating material ever discovered, and they are at the root of biology's most enduring debate. They silence the flight of owls and keep penguins dry below the ice. They have decorated queens, jesters, and priests. And they have inked documents from the Constitution to the novels of Jane Austen.
Feathers is a captivating and beautiful exploration of this most enchanting object.
"A fascinating book...all of it unusually well-written. Highly recommended." Peter Matthiessen, National Book Award winning author of The Snow Leopard and Shadow Country
"Feathers is simply a splendid book! Even for one biased toward butterfly scales, their closest competitors in the animal raiment line, feathers in all their glory can only be seen as astonishing. With elegance and wit, Thor Hanson captures not only their awesome esthetics, but also the astonishing evolution, historical and cultural impact, and sheer wonder of avian plumage. Rendered in exquisite detail with delicate touch, like a feather-painting of old, this is the best kind of natural history — quilled by a real field biologist who is also a fine writer." Robert Michael Pyle, author of Wintergreen and Mariposa Road
"Feathers are truly remarkable. In this book Hanson shows how they are the key to many of the most fascinating and diverse aspects of bird biology, how they have affected our understanding of evolution, and how they have and are enriching our everyday lives. This is science written in clear and entertaining prose; a great read." Bernd Heinrich, Emeritus Professor of Biology, University of Vermont; author of Winter World and Mind of the Raven
"Thor Hanson has captured the wonders of feathers in gripping prose that will likely change forever how you look at birds and their colorful adornments. This is rich and engaging ornithology at its best." Frank B. Gill, author of Ornithology
"If you feel a sudden need to read about dinosaurs, flyfishing, muttonbirds, and showgirls, this is your book! Absolutely fascinating history, and a terrific read, Feathers is another Thor Hanson classic!" Garth Stein, author of The Art of Racing in the Rain
"A fascinating book about the most remarkable — and beautiful — of all avian evolutionary adaptations, with wonderful accounts of ornithological investigations and the solving of biological quandaries and questions, all of it unusually well-written. Highly recommended." Peter Matthiessen, National Book Award winning author of The Snow Leopard and Shadow Country
"[Hanson] has produced a winning book about the extraordinary place of feathers in animal and human history...like all true birdwatchers, Mr. Hanson knows it isn't just the bird at the far end of the binoculars but the human being at the near end that matters, and he is writing as much about the human urge to understand, appreciate and appropriate the wild world as he is writing about feathers, which he calls, in his subtitle, a 'natural miracle.'...Feathers is an earthbound book, but this does not keep the author — or the reader — from looking up in wonder." Wall Street Journal
"[A] fine book....Mr. Hanson's pleasure in feathers is infectious....[Feathers] is gracious, funny, persuasive and wide ranging. Feathers, Mr. Hanson reminds us, teach a remarkable amount about evolution, insulation, engineering, archaeology and fashion. Better still, as this book shows, they allow not only birds but the human imagination to take flight." New York Times
"[A] sparkling history....Well-written science adds gravity to the more featherweight content of witty anecdotes — from interviews with feather-clad Las Vegas showgirls to plucking roadkill in the name of biology. The skillful way Hanson combines the two makes this book popular natural history at its best." New Scientist
"[D]elightful....[A] fascinating inquiry into one of those common things that are easy to overlook until someone shows what a miracle it is....Birds, the only animals with feathers today, wear these magic coats of stunning variety whose forms so perfectly fit their functions. Hanson's book reveals much about that marvelous magic." Seattle Times
"[E]njoyable, wide-ranging, and well-researched....Highly recommended for birders and science buffs." Library Journal (starred review)
"[E]ngaging....For all the intriguing science, what really livens up Hanson's passionate discussion of his 'natural miracle' are the stories he tells." Maclean's
"Thor Hanson's storytelling is enhanced by his infectious excitement....Hanson's tale is comprehensive, accurate, timely and engaging....Feathers is a compelling introduction to one of nature's wonders." Nature
"Hanson writes in a colorful, conversational, and non-technical manner that conveys his enthusiasm for the subject....The book offers a readable introduction to feathers and what they mean for birds and mankind." Science
The natural and cultural history of how people, birds, and the feather came together.
They've inspired legends and literature, from Icarus to Shakespeare. They've inked documents from the Constitution to the novels of Jane Austen. They've decorated queens, jesters, plague doctors, Aztec priests, and the fabled birds of paradise. They silence the flight of owls, give shimmer to hummingbirds, and keep penguins dry below the ice. They are at the root of biology's most enduring debate. It goes without saying, the importance and intrigue of feathers is patent.
In Feathers, biologist Thor Hanson tells a sweeping natural history of feathers, as they've been used to fly, protect, attract, and adorn through time and place. A captivating and beautifully-written exploration of the human fascination with feathers, this book transports readers from mythical associations with the divine to the height of modern-day science and technology.

Gov. Gary Herbert says coal, oil, gas and nuclear will be the base of Utah's supply for the forseeable future.
"Green" energy sources will be important in Utah's Utah's energy mix, but the traditional fossil fuels will continue to be critical, Gov. Gary Herbert told the Carbon County Chamber of Commerce Friday. Nuclear is also shaping up as a future source of Utah's energy.
Herbert said there is little chance that sources such as wind and solar power will become a major source of base load electric generation, at least over the next 10 years in the state's "Energy Initiatives and Imperatives" document.
The governor went on to say that the nation and world are beginning to recognize what Utah has to offer.
One of the chief attention-getters is the state's history of fiscal prudence. Despite losing $1 billion in revenue during the recession, Utah is one the few states not facing a budget shortfall next fiscal year.
The state's reputation for an educated workforce, particularly in technology and language skills, is also attractive to companies looking to relocate from other states. In fact, he said, he has heard representatives from other states declare that they "must stop losing jobs to Utah."
The workforce was a big reason why software giant Adobe has decided to build a $100 million facility in Utah County, he added.
Herbert has just returned from a trade mission to China, where he met with industrial and government leaders.
While there, he was told by a Chinese official, "We want to be like Utah. It may take us 100 years to catch you, but we will catch you."
Price Mayor Joe Piccolo presented the governor with mounted prints of the city's 100-year-old articles of incorporation. The mayor also thanked the governor for visiting Castle Country so often, and for recognizing that Utah has cities and counties in the rural areas of the state.

Scott (Pittsburgh): I know your publication ranked Bundy as the top arm available in last years draft and looking at the rankings then and now you list he and Bauer ahead of Cole in the rankings. Did the Pirates in your mind make a mistake with Cole over those two? Also, are Cole and Taillon your top duo of arms in the minors? Thanks
Jim Callis: I wouldn't say a mistake—all three of those guys were close and Cole has the most electric arm of that trio. I would have taken them in this order—Bundy, Bauer, Cole—but you can defend any order. I'd take Cole/Taillon, but our Top 100 would slightly prefer Bauer/Skaggs.
Lloyd (Lakewood): Dylan Bundy with an ETA of 2013? Is he THAT good?
Jim Callis: He's that good. I bet he's up before the end of 2013.
Randy (KC): I notice Shelby Miller and Dylan Bundy both have 2013 ETAs Which is later/earlier respectively than I would have anticipated. I realize that's just an estimation and things can change quickly, but do you stand by that assessment?
John Manuel: Those ETAs would not be the same if they were in different organizations. The Cardinals have pretty good starting pitching depth and have handled Miller carefully to that point; that said, that was a conservative ETA. We hemmed and hawed on hit quite a bit, and if we're wrong and he establishes himself in 2012, I would not be shocked. Bundy ... he was the best pitcher in the 2011 draft, has uncommon polish for a prep product and is in a poor organization that likely will fast-track him. Hence they got the same ETAs, which I admit on the surface looks odd. If anything, I'd move Miller up to 2012, but it's likely he'll still be rookie-eligible for 2013 . . . in which case he should be in my previous answer about 2013 Top 100 guys who could rank No. 1.
Daniel (Montana): Thanks for the work guys. Regarding Bundy, does Baltimore's inability to develop pitchers through the Major Leagues worry you? Or is he just too good to be messed up?
J.J. Cooper: No one is too good to be messed up, and the Orioles' track record with pitching prospects is troubling. But Bundy's talent is immense, and not every O's pitching prospect flames out, so you have to like his chances.
Brian (NY): Who do you feel moves up this list significantly in 2013? For example, Skaggs was #82 in 2011, #13 this year; Profar was #74 in 2011, #7 this year.
John Manuel: We talked about this in today's podcast as well; two of my picks to click were 2011 draftees Daniel Norris and Taylor Guerrieri. JJ Cooper's included Cheslor Cuthbert and Jonathan Schoop. I'll let you listen to the podcast to hear Jim Callis'.
Jeff (Baltimore): Do you see Jon Schoop at 3B or 2B long term?
J.J. Cooper: I'd say 2B, but I've talked to scouts who disagree and think he should be an third baseman, where they see all-star potential.

A number of St. Lawrence County fire departments will participate later this month in a nationwide effort to attract more volunteers.
Most departments are hurting for membership, said Dennis E. Eickhoff, co-chairman of the retention and recruitment committee of the county Chiefs Association.
Training requirements take a big toll on keeping members in departments, Mr. Eickhoff said.
Part of the problem is commitment, he said. You have to keep this stuff up all the time.
Family obligations also make it more difficult for people to volunteer at their fire departments than in the past because both spouses now often have jobs, creating a time crunch, he said.
The fear among many departments is that older members will retire without a younger generation to take their place, forcing the doors to close or that they will be replaced by a paid organization that will cost taxpayers more, Mr. Eickhoff said.
Being a volunteer firefighter can help pay for college. The Firemens Association of the State of New York has a program that pays community college tuition for volunteers, which might be expanded to SUNY schools, he said.
Several fire departments will open their doors during weekend open houses April 26 and 27 so residents can learn what it takes to volunteer as a firefighter.
This is the fourth year weve done it, Mr. Eickhoff said. Hopefully, well have a good turnout.
For more information, visit www.recruitny.org or contact a local fire department using a non-emergency number or through its website.

text: On a grey London day, a small fleet of fishing boats chugs up the River Thames toward Westminster, the seat of Britain's parliament. Sounding horns and waving banners encourage people to JOIN THE FISH FIGHT. On the lead ship is celebrity chef Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall who is well known to British TV audiences for his "real food" campaigns and for the River Cottage series, in which he shows how to live off the land. He's holding up a huge dead cod as he shakes his head. "Around 50 percent of all fresh fish being caught in the North Sea are being thrown back into the water, dead, and that's an unsustainable, shocking waste," the likable 46-year-old explains. To illustrate his frustration about British and other European fishing practices, Fearnley-Whittingstall has made three TV programs called "Hugh's Fish Fight." They're part of British Channel 4's Big Fish Fight series, made with a clutch of other high-profile U.K. chefs, including Jamie Oliver, Gordon Ramsay and Heston Blumenthal. (You can watch them online for the next few weeks). In his shows, Fearnley-Whittingstall questions the moral, environmental and economic price of current fishing policy. Each episode covers a different aspect of the dilemma, from the plight of tuna, to whether fish farming really is sustainable (it takes three kilos of wild fish to produce one kilo of farmed salmon), to "discards" or "by-catch" from trawling. Fearnley-Whittingstall's high visibility brings these arguments into the prime-time living rooms of a large, non-specialized audience of more than 2.3 million viewers and is a valuable contribution to the fight that's long been waged by Greenpeace, Slow Fish and other environmental organizations. Discards are a particularly distressing issue. They refer to the waste of over 1 million tonnes (about 1.1 million U.S. tons) per year of perfectly good fish that fishermen are forced to dump back into the sea in order to abide by European fishing laws. Here's how it works: Every fishing boat, depending on its size and location, is allotted an annual quota, limiting the amount of each species it is permitted to catch. The idea behind this is, in part, to prevent over-fishing of certain species. So far, so good. Out at sea, however, this bureaucratic solution can cause problems. If a ship reaches its full annual quota of, say, cod in eight months, for the last four months of the year it will be obliged to throw back any cod it catches. The trawlers' nets are not able to be selective as they scoop up large quantities of mixed fish. Each haul is sorted on board, and fish that exceed the quotas must be thrown back. They are, by this time, dead. So, thousands of metric tons of edible fish end up on the bottom of the sea to be eaten by crabs. Fearnley-Whittingstall is no stranger to this sort of activism: His 2008 "Chicken Out!" series, also on Channel 4, helped raise awareness about the devastating conditions of battery hens, and persuaded some supermarkets to use more free-range chickens and eggs. Reactions to the shows have been positive. To date, more than 540,000 people have signed a petition calling for an end to the discards (add your name to it on the Fish Fight site). Tesco, one of Britain's largest retailers, announced a switch to selective, pole-and-line caught tuna for its private label canned tuna. The company previously used tuna caught in vast purse seine nets which can also trap porpoise, turtles and shark. Another practical idea has been supported by chefs Oliver and Blumenthal. Britons are crazy for cod. But if they can be encouraged to broaden their tastes to include mackerel for their fish and chips, or easy-to-prepare coley or mussels for their dinners, then some of that demand for cod will be spread to other, more abundantly available fish. Oliver's super-easy recipes can and should inspire everyone to cook a greater range of seafood. Download the PDF file here:

fatkid we had one of the huntingGPSmaps.com cards in our GPS that shows us the private and BLM. Those cards are very, very helpful. Some of our party had bought additional whitetail doe tags and it really helps having that card in the GPS. We used it primarily to know if we were on private or BLM land at a glance. A few of the guys got their whitetail does in transition from the private to the public. We did not see any whitetail up higher from where the mule deer were. We checked over some small areas of BLM just to check out something new but mostly hit the timbered draws in Custer. Like larrylur mentions above glassing can find animals too and save you a lot of walking in Custer. There are areas wide open from past burns up in there and deer are in thru there as well. When we had killed all our animals we drove them into Broadus Meats to get processed and flash frozen.
We were hearing the deer numbers were down this year and it's perhaps not the hay day it used to be 15-20 years ago but we had overall pretty good success this year in Custer and saw bucks and does every day.

International travelers could see shorter wait times at the Champlain-Lacolle border crossing area because of a $47 million investment from the Canadian government.
That equals about USD $46 million at current exchange rates.
North Country Chamber of Commerce President Garry Douglas said the finished project will feature 15 car lanes, two of which will be for Nexus pass holders, along with revamped secondary inspection and bus-processing facilities.
The Champlain-Lacolle border crossing on Interstate 87 is the main gateway between Quebec and the United States, according to a released statement, and the fourth busiest on the northern border. In 2011, more than $20 billion worth of legal goods went through it, according to the statement. In 2012, more than 1.1 million vehicles carrying 2.5 million passengers transited the port, according to the statement.
Mr. Douglas said the new secondary inspection area will be designed to prevent travelers from waiting extended lengths of time for others to be inspected, a process that can take several hours. Also, he said, officials hope that the separate bus facility will speed the process for the approximately 10,000 buses that go through the port.
I certainly think it is significant to Franklin County, as well as the Plattsburgh area, Mr. Douglas said, noting the hub is the areas main commercial gateway.
Many travelers and commercial shippers will port shop, Mr. Douglas said, meaning they go out of their way to cross where the wait times are shortest.
Theres a fundamental belief that travel is encouraged by efficiency at the border, he said. We also believe over time there is inherently a desire to locate investments and commercial operations around efficient ports of entry.
He added that at the Champlain-Lacolle crossing, traffic is more often delayed in the northbound lane than the southbound one.
If we are to continue to build the economy of the Plattsburgh-north country region, we must have optimum fluidity in both directions, Mr. Douglas is quoted as saying in a North Country Chamber of Commerce released statement.

BaitBus: Straight men getting busy with gay sex.
So, This week again we drove around the beach to look for a straight guy that eventually ends up having gay sex. We all know that money talks and gay men get fucked, and with that being said here we go. We found Jay on a park by coincidence, cause we made a wrong turn and ended on this little park. So, we found him and immediately "Sunshine" gets to work; we asked a couple questions and said that we were lost, offered dinner and to see if he would take us around town. He agreed and the bait was set. Jay is convinced to go back to the Sunshine's house with the promise of sex and $4,000 dollars, but only after we blindfolded and made "Ryann" give him a Blowjob. What he doesn't know is that there is no girl, and there is no money. It takes a little more convincing but soon Jay strips down and works his cock into Ryann's Butthole before finishing up and blowing his hot load all over his chest.
love it and if anybody want t fuck hit me up
Fake!!!! but the guy is hot, I hay a gay dvd featuring him

ESA's operations managers: the 'Right Stuff'
They have a passion for space and are among the best engineers anywhere, managing ambitions exploration and Earth missions worth billions of euro. But above all, ESA's Spacecraft Operations Managers are team leaders, working to motivate people and manage complex systems on the cutting edge of human knowledge.
The successful launch and operation of any ESA mission requires a multi-disciplinary team working across the agency and supported by industry and academia. However, it is the Spacecraft Operations Manager, the ubiquitous 'SOM', who is immediately responsible for day-to-day flight activities and for solving the myriad problems that inevitably arise when complex satellites voyage into space.
Today, ESA operates a growing number of missions from ESOC, the agency's European Space Operations Centre, Darmstadt, Germany. The Columbus science lab on the ISS is operated in cooperation with the German Aerospace Center/DLR from control centres located at Oberpfaffenhofen, while the Proba-series of missions are controlled from Redu Centre, Belgium.
Some two dozen men and women are presently working as SOMs or mission directors on current and future missions, comprising some of the most talented and qualified engineers in Europe. A SOM is assigned to each ESA mission, and his/her first task is to build up the Flight Control Team, a team of spacecraft engineers assigned to each of the mission's specialist areas, including attitude and orbit control, power and thermal and on-board computer systems.
SOMs are team leaders
"In space, teamwork is crucial to success. The stakes are high, missions can be valued in the billions of euro and the scientific data may be literally irreplaceable. The Spacecraft Operations Manager builds a team and assumes responsibility – and when problems happen, time is critical and solutions unobvious, it's the SOM and his or her team who take the lead," says Paolo Ferri, Head of ESA's Missions Operations Department at ESOC.
In 2006, Alan Smith retired from ESA as a senior flight director after 30 years at ESOC and 41 years in the space business. In an interview that year, he described what it takes to be a great SOM: "You've got to have good people skills, and be able to lead a team. You've got to motivate your team of perhaps six or eight engineers and that can be a challenge when a mission gets routine. And all missions experience problems that you just don't hear about – but they get solved."
Smith added, "Someone has to take responsibility and make a decision, and that's the SOM."
Profiles: Spacecraft Operations Managers
Click 'Continue' below to read short profiles of several of the SOMs now working at ESA.
Micha Schmidt
Micha Schmidt is SOM for Herschel, which launched in May 2009, together with Planck.
Schmidt has a degree in aerospace engineering and joined ESA in 1992. Two years before his mission's launch, he was already assembling the Flight Control Team at ESOC and helping define future operational procedures and the overall ground segment (the hardware, software and systems on the ground) that supports the mission.
At launch Herschel became the largest space telescope of its kind. Its 3.5-metre diameter mirror is collecting long-wavelength infrared radiation from some of the coolest and most distant objects in the Universe.
Schmidt says he enjoys the international mixture of the team at ESA, and that the Flight Control Team is "a bunch of knowledgeable guys I'm absolutely confident in."
CryoSat: re-flying a lost mission
In 2005, the first CryoSat was lost shortly after lift off due to launcher failure. ESA and the science community supported the construction of a replacement satellite, highlighting the crucial importance of the mission. CryoSat II has been in orbit since April 2010, and is delivering a wealth of data, helping scientists determine whether Arctic ice masses are thinning due to global warming.
Nic Mardle is from England, and she joined ESA in 2003 as SOM for the original CryoSat; she brought to the Agency years or prior experience working for space industry in the UK, Italy and Australia.
She says that, normally, as an operations engineer, properly controlling the satellite is paramount and the scientific or commercial returns are less obvious. "But CryoSat-2 is the first satellite I've worked on where I also feel a strong commitment to the science goals of the mission," says Mardle.
"The results that will come from CryoSat are crucially important for our understanding of climate change and I am really motivated to help make the mission a success."
Past missions, continuing success
As SOM for the Huygens lander portion of the ESA/NASA Cassini-Huygens mission, Claudio Sollazzo headed a seven-person Flight Control Team spread between ESOC and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), in Pasadena, California.
The mission ended when the Hyugens probe made a spectacular touch-down on Saturn's moon Titan in January 2005, and Sollazzo's long association with the mission (14 years) makes him one of the central figures behind Huygens' success.
Originally from Naples, Italy, Sollazzo joined ESA in 1985, after studying astrophysics. He says having served as a SOM really sticks to you and becomes a permanent part of your professional life – even when your mission is over. "One could say, 'Once a SOM, always a SOM'. You maintain wonderful and endearing memories of a job – hopefully – well done, and afterwards you must try and apply your hard-earned experience to another mission."
In 2006, he was assigned to Columbus Control Centre to take up duties as Mission Director helping oversee the operation of ESA's Columbus lab on the International Space Station.
Cluster boosts scientific understanding of Earth's space environment
Juergen Volpp is SOM for Cluster, a sophisticated magnetospheric mission comprising four identical spacecraft flying in formation and gathering data on how the solar wind affects the Earth.
Volpp studied physics in Heidelberg and helped to design the first European remote sensing satellite, ERS-1, before joining ESA in 1990; he has since worked on several scientific missions including Spacelab. He says the highlights of his job include working with a 'well-mixed' flight control team comprising many nationalities and young engineers as well as 'old timers'.
"The Cluster team spirit is strong and the level of cross-training is high; the individuals of this relatively small team are very motivated and there is no need to give directives; defining a common goal with a minimum of coordination is sufficient," says Volpp.
He also points to space research as a major inspiration: "Monitoring Earth climate and the atmospheres of other planets helps to understand the mechanisms causing atmospheric changes. Astronomy is an essential part of human culture. ESA's science programme enables European scientists to play a leading role in research into the fundamental laws of physics and cosmology."
All missions eventually end
Until 2006, Octavio Camino was SOM for SMART-1, ESA's first Moon mission. SMART-1 gathered much new scientific information about our nearest neighbour, and the mission also served as a technology demonstrator using a next-generation solar-powered electronic propulsion engine.
Camino comes from Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, in Spain, and joined ESA in 1992 after obtaining a master's degree in telecommunications. He describes the SMART-1 flight control team as "motivated, innovative and flexible," and pointed to the "ever-changing and challenging environment of space operations" as one of the most enjoyable aspects of his job.
"Exploring space is today more than an inspirational need for society; it is an indispensable tool for European policies ranging from the strategic need for providing and enabling European access to space, research and safety, to ensuring technological capabilities to develop and sustain Europe's industrial technology advantage in worldwide competition," he says.
The SMART-1 mission ended on 3 September 2006 when it underwent a controlled impact with the Moon, an event that itself provided additional opportunities for ground-based observers to learn about the Moon's surface. Camino was subsequently reassigned as SOM for Venus Express.

Additional product details
For introductory computer courses on Microsoft Office 2010 or courses in computer concepts with a lab component for Microsoft Office 2010 applications.
Your Office is the Office Applications textbook written for instructors who want more than a 'skill & drill' book that enables students to learn discreet tasks but fails to illustrate the big picture of how these skills work together.¿ Your Office bridges the gap between skill and application, and empowers students to master Office 2010 as a tool to solve problems and make decisions.
The cases progress students from learning the skills in each Office Application to using the applications as tools to make business decisions.
The unique modular structure provides a strong foundation for students through practice in each workshop and then synthesizes the objectives covered over two workshops, challenging students to really retain what they learned as opposed to learning and then forgetting soon after.
The series scenario introduces a large global business (the resort and spa) made up of smaller businesses (golf pro shop, spa, restaurants, event planning, etc) featured in the cases that run throughout all four applications.¿ This approach gives students a solid understanding of how an organization works by exposing them to how individuals in all facets of a business interact with tools like Microsoft Office and use information to make decisions.
