B-Daht's Blog
Welcome to the blog of B Daht Obama! I've taken a new approach to MY blogs - I write letters to people. Hopefully one day some of the people can actually read the letters I write. If you have an idea of a letter you'd like me to write to someone (they don't HAVE to be in Sports) send it to theescore@yahoo. Hope you enjoy, and comments are STRONGLY encouraged!

I don't know WHY it was so shocking to me, but, I never would have guessed MAgic Johnson's son would be a homosexual.
I mean, to each his own; it was just shocking.
He recently showed off his boyfriend on the strip in LA while answering some questions about the Dodgers and the Lakers.
Check him out in all his gay-glory and splendor:

(Springfield) – Unwanted aquatic plants are the number-one pond maintenance problem in Missouri.
These unwanted plants make their appearance every year with the arrival of warmer temperatures, and continue to annoy pond owners throughout the summer and fall.
Patrick Byers, horticulture specialist with the University of Missouri Extension, says water plants have some very good attributes, such as providing nesting and breeding habitat for fish and other animals and helping with erosion control by minimizing wave damage to shorelines. Water plants also have a downside, however: excessive growth of aquatic weeds can interfere with recreational activities, create health hazards, destroy wildlife habitat, cause undesirable odors and kill fish.
Byers say the first step to good weed control in a lake or pond is first determining whether you have a problem that needs attention. Second, it is important to identify the problem weed. Before choosing an herbicide, Byers recommends carefully reading the label to learn which plants can be controlled, and when to apply. Also check for the safety of humans, livestock and fish.
Possible non-chemical methods for water plant control include stocking the pond with grass carp, deepening the pond's edges, weeding and removing new growth by hand or shading the pond with black plastic to prevent sunlight from reaching the plants.
For additional gardening and horticultural advice, contact the Greene County Master Gardener Hotline at 417-881-8909.

8 Tips for Talking to Someone With Breast Cancer

These eight tips could help you talk to a relative, friend or co-worker who's dealing with some tough news.
While making straight-up donations is a great way to show your support, we've also found 10 ways you can use your purchasing power to promote the fight against breast cancer.
With the tri-state gearing up for local Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure on September 28, 2014, I wanted to share a video with you. This brave woman faced cancer and toughed it through chemo...
Join Kat Mykals this Saturday at Eastland Mall for the American Cancer Society's 2nd Annual Pink-a-palooza!
It's Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and while all the pink we see on the players during NFL games in October mainly focuses our attention on how the disease affects women and what they can do about it, we should also keep in mind (or learn) that men, too, can contract breast cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, one in 1,000 men will fall victim to the disease, which claims the life of at least one man every day.
That may seem like a rather juvenile phrase that just might make every teen and pre-teen you know break out into a fit if hysterics, but really it's a brilliant slogan from the Keep A Breast (KAB) Foundation, founded in 2001, to raise awareness of a very serious health issue in a younger generation...

Purchase the Recorded Webinar! [1]
PRESENTER: DianeTyrrell, CCD
COST: ACA members: $35, Non-Members: $70
CECs: 1.5
Description and Learner Outcomes:
The skill sets and knowledge required to successfully lifeguard and supervise aquatics activities are often vastly different than those required to pass a lifeguarding certification class. While certification serves as a foundation, it is up to the camp operator to provide additional training, mentoring, and skills development in order to build lifeguards with competent abilities. Participate in this session to learn techniques to "build" better lifeguards at your facility. In this webinar participants will become aware of what lifeguards do/don't learn in certification training, and why this matters, learn techniques for building better lifeguards, including in-service training, mentoring, rescue skills, emergency response, hazard recognition, victim recognition, accident prevention, participant supervision and surveillance, and become aware of common "operator errors" which impact lifeguards ability to be effective, such as positioning, rotation, areas of surveillance, distraction, patron interactions, and environmental hazards..
Presenter Bio:
Diane Tyrrell, CCD has over 30 years experience and an extensive background in water safety, paddlesports, and aquatics risk management. She has over 20 years experience in the camp and youth development field, and is widely respected as an expert on aquatics risk management.

Who's Online:
Sauron considered himself merciful because he beat Khamul instead of demoting him. However, he never offered Khamul a choice, he just assumed Khamul would make the same choice he himself made.
Well, whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger, I guess. (Even if you're undead!)
And, obviously, even more reminiscent of Melkor's punishment of him, I see from this (as does Khamûl!)
Really interesting to see the after-effects of Gandalf's little "intrusion" here.
Another fascinating look inside the private lives of the world's most celebrated craftsmaia, and his undead crew. Khamul's relationship with his Master is very different from that of Angmar, but perhaps even more intriguing. And Sauron's punishment of him is very reminiscent of his own punishments at the hands of Aulë, isn't it?
Author's Response: I love the word craftsmaia. Not only is Khamul's relationship with their Master different from Angmar's, but Khamul has no knowledge of Angmar's UST issues, and Angmar doesn't know the extent to which Khamul sees his Master's thoughts. Sauron isn't aware of either of those things.

While there are plenty of uncertainties that surround the details of planning a meeting, there is one inevitable truth: your attendees want to eat. Baum and Whiteman, a food and restaurant consulting company, offers a glimpse of how those eating habits may change next year with its new report, "12 Hottest Food & Beverage Dining Trends In Restaurant & Hotels, 2014."
Here's a look at some of the key takeaways that could make a difference on your next menu.
SEE ALSO: These Chefs are Meeting the Challenge of Attendee Dietary Restrictions
Many diners appear to be adding one surprising ingredient to the common green accompaniment.
"The no-no of Caesar salads has become respectable," the report from Baum & Whiteman declares. "People are ordering anchovies, especially Spanish salt-packed ones called bocquerones and even fresh ones."
Drinking is getting more adventurous, too. When your attendees aren't at your meeting, some of them may be sampling the latest trends in cocktail creation, which include sour beer, hard cider and vermouth-based beverages. More drinking destinations are embracing gin, too. In fact, one restaurant in Midtown Manhattan stocks 38 different types of gin.
Every meeting planner is all too familiar with chicken. While it is a more affordably-priced entree, chefs are getting more creative with their poultry offerings around the country. The result? Creativity costs extra.
"The humble bird is going haute," the trend report states, calling attention to examples like a $79 roast chicken for two with foie gras at New York's Nomad and another dish served with a side of dandelions and a quail egg.
While planners won't be adding that kind of high-priced item to menus for thousands of attendees, the shift certainly shows that attendees may want something more than the typical garlic-marinated cut of chicken.
Butter and olive oil are old-school. As chefs look to enhance the pre-entree experience, they're adding a wide range of extras such as whipped largo, whipped beet butter, jalapeno oil and smoked eggplant dip.
Planners are constrained by budgets and dietary restrictions, but there are plenty of opportunities to reinvent the traditional meal experience at your next meeting. Click here to download the full report from Baum & Whiteman for more insights into how chefs and restaurants are infusing breakfast, lunch and dinner with new flavors and new approaches to table service.

How Progressive Race-Baiters Destroyed Civil Rights Progress in America
And here's yet another exhibit, the racist fantasies of Tulane professor and MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry.
January 16, 2012 - 12:07 am
The past weekend and today mark the celebration of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s legacy for racial progress in America.
It's been almost 44 years since his death, and almost 48 years since the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Very few people can honestly argue today that we haven't had a revolution in race relations since that time. There's little need to cite a long string of evidence for this point. President Barack Obama stands as the most important testament to the nation's commitment to equal opportunity before the law, for all Americans regardless of race, creed, or color. And it bears repeating and should be shouted from the rooftops, but nearly 9 out of 10 Americans today support marriage between blacks and whites: "Record-High 86% Approve of Black-White Marriages."
This kind of progress on race — the overwhelming repudiation of Jim Crow racism — would have been literally unfathomable 50 years ago, before the civil rights revolution of the 1960s. Americans have broken "the color line," in all its forms — that last barrier to full acceptance and inclusion for all people, discussed in Earl and Merle Black's magisterial work, Politics and Society in the South.
But as real world events constantly remind us, it has taken the election of a black president to reveal where the true threats to racial progress linger in America today — on the far left-wing of the political spectrum. Just recall, for example, during the 2008 nominating campaign, when former President Bill Clinton attacked candidate Obama with disgusting racist commentary, and when Jesse Jackson himself (who was with MLK on April 4th, 1968) viciously attacked candidate Obama, suggesting he should be lynched by castration. Only on the left would such vicious Ku Klux Klan style racism be giving an abject, absolute pass. Racial bigotry on the left engenders no political recriminations and no political costs. This is the very discourse that today harms our progress on equal rights.
And here's yet another exhibit, the sick racist fantasies of Tulane University professor Melissa Harris-Perry:
Professor Harris-Perry claims the GOP presidential campaign has been driven by thinly veiled reactionary race talk that's reminiscent of America in the 1860s. Seriously, the exclusive audience for this kind of phantasmagorical discourse exists only on the hard left — and apparently there's a huge market for it, given that MSNBC is giving Harris-Perry her own show starting in February.

Caravaggio…Van Gogh…Darwin? Charles Darwin, of course, wasn't an artist – in fact, he could barely draw – but he was a visual thinker. In the new book Darwin's Pictures, art historian Julia Voss makes the case that Darwin relied on visual images to both conceptualize and communicate his radical theory of evolution.
In the late 19th century, scientific books were taking full advantage of printing techniques that allowed the use of engravings and imagery. Disciplines such as geology and embryology developed a clear visual language. Think of geologic cross-sections that compress space and time into a single image, for instance. But Darwin was creating this theory from scratch. Because his idea was so unprecedented, he had to invent his own visual language in order to communicate it.
Darwin was deeply preoccupied with images. His papers, now at Cambridge University Library, are full of drawings and sketches, both his own and artist renderings. In his travel notebooks, Darwin drew maps and diagrams while working on his theories. Later, he also worked with artists, taxidermists, and draftsmen to create explanatory illustrations for his books.
One of the images he "invented" is the now-famous time sequence, which lines up different species in hypothesized order of evolution. Darwin needed images like these to communicate his theory; Voss says that while it might take hundreds of pages of text to explain evolution, a single image could summarize the idea for a reader in a few seconds.
In the slideshow here, Voss talks about Darwin's images and their impact. Much like Darwin's theories, his images often had a life of their own.
Thanks to Yale University Press and Julia Voss. To read analysis of many more of Darwin's images, check out Voss' book, available here.

How to Survive Being Adrift at Sea
We don't usually feature things that do not usually concern an ordinary Joe and Jane. But with the title, you'd definitely get that this one's for those highly unlikely but still possible extreme situations. Here's one for your personal survival guide.
So let's say you're in a cruise ship (Or any other ship, matie! Arr!) and suddenly encountered some freak coincidence. A storm. An iceberg. Or any other disaster that forces you to abandon ship. How will you survive the open sea? Here's how.
Strap on a life vest. If you're in a cruise liner, the chances of things going wrong are probably slim. Still, you should pay attention to those short talks about ship safety by one of the ship's officers. They usually drill you where the lifeboats and the life vests are. If, by any case, you need to abandon ship. Follow the instructions and prioritize getting a life vest more than anything else.
Grab supplies. Life boats and rafts usually have a survival kit in them but they only offer the bare minimum. Grab supplies such as food, fresh water, and medical supplies with you. A flashlight would also be helpful to serve as a signal. If you can also grab something reflective such as a pair of spectacles, a pocket mirror or even a piece of aluminum foil. This can serve as a reflective surface to signal airplanes passing by overhead. Four of the best things to grab – canned food, lots of water, a VHF radio and a flare.
Get to a lifeboat. Get only to a boat if the ship is sinking or is on fire. Boats have a better chance to up your survival rate in the open sea than an inflatable raft. However, oftentimes, you'd only find rafts and if such is the case, make sure you get yourself into one. They offer a bit more protection than simply drifting out in sea in your vest.
Get dry and get warm. The open sea can be harsh on you. One of the things you should avoid is hypothermia so keep yourself dry and warm. Seawater and too much exposure to the sun can make your skin dry to the point of making it crack. Avoid getting scars as much as possible since infection can set in. Keep yourself in the shade and keep yourself hydrated. Drink 8 glasses of water as long as you have supply.
Try to get to land. If you happen to have a compass then good for you. The second best thing, a watch. You can always get your bearings by watching where the sun is and checking the time. From sunrise to just before noon, the sun's at the east and the afternoon to evening, it's at the west. Paddle to the direction of the nearest known land form. Just don't overexert yourself.

I'm sorry, but I feel this is one of your weakest posts. Three of the five "tips" were in preparation of being cast out to the open see and were beyond obvious. "Get into a boat" … as opposed to choosing to jump ship or into a more flimsy vessel…. and then a tip like "Try to get to land"???? That's not a tip that's going to help me to survive in the open ocean, I'm sorry. Pretty bad.
mann this helped me so much im at school and now i realize what to do if im stranded at sea! thanks bro!

12 Tips for How to Be a Professional
In the past couple years of leading and "managing" people, especially young people right out of college, I've seen a gaping hole in the form of teaching people how to be a professional. (Maybe it's always been there but either way, it's there.)
When I think about this topic — helping young people know how to survive and thrive in their first jobs — I think about star college athletes who are drafted into the pros. One day, they wake up and find that their lifelong passion (football, baseball, basketball, whatever) — the thing they've always done without much effort and with outstanding success — has now turned into a full-time job tied to all their lifelong hopes and dreams. And often it's the job of the veterans to teach the rookies how to be a pro.
It's someone's job to help the "rookies" figure out how to be a "pro."
So with that … I'll offer my suggestions for the next generation to succeed in the workplace (and be a little blunt):
1. Be passionate
This means being interested in what you're doing. Do something you have a great opportunity to LOVE.
If you take a job simply because it's a crapload of money, I'll make a bet now you're going to be miserable in 10 years if you stick with that job. Don't waste your precious time or talent on a job you hate simply because you want a BMW.
Take a cue from your baby boomer parents … happiness isn't found in material things.
Loathing or hating a job is misery … that's called prison.
You don't necessarily have to love what you do … but I think you should at least LIKE IT.
Find a job you can like or enjoy, doing work that challenges you and plays to your strengths.
2. Be eager
I hire for drive and fit over talent. Being eager means you are internally driven to make your organization a success and with it, yourself. You should want the job. You should want to work hard to keep it and be better.
Being eager is typically a result of doing work you enjoy. Looking forward to going to work because you want to use your time and talents to produce something of quality.
3. Be a sponge
Just because you've graduated from college doesn't mean you stop reading for the rest of your life. Be a lifelong learner. After you get over your college "I hate books" hangover, get realistic and realize that the key to growth comes cheaply by reading dead trees.
So if you're not a reader, become one.
A key core value we hold close at iThemes is Learn, Grow, then Share.
Always be learning. Always be growing. Seek ways to do so. Find mentors at the workplace and ask questions and listen. Buy their lunch.
But by the way, listening is so undervalued. Most people want to talk about what they do best.
Be a sponge for all of it.
4. Get better on nights and weekends
Someone should tell you this and it might as well be me: You haven't "arrived." You probably won't ever arrive. Neither will I. At least I hope I don't. I always want to be improving and honing my craft.
Just because you land some fancy title doesn't mean you're set for life or done learning or growing.
Graduation is simply the first step in a journey that's called your professional career. Now it's time for you to use that base knowledge and those experiences to build your career.
It means constant improvement. And if you want to make more, do more, then that means you hone your skills on nights and weekends (yes, on your own dime!).
Let me be clear: Getting better at night and weekends is an investment in yourself.
You always want to achieve work-life balance and you need downtime … but consider using a large portion of that time investing in yourself.
Trust me … as a boss, this type of team member rises to the top. They are the clear leaders you take for the future of your organization. At least I do.
5. Everybody starts somewhere
Call this paying your dues or whatever, but yes, everybody starts somewhere and typically that's at the bottom of the ladder. That might mean taking out the trash, being someone's assistant, taking direction from someone else, or whatever.
You aren't above it. And neither am I. Even as the founder of a company, I still do these things.
If you don't have the humility to accept that, you're going to struggle for a long time.
Realize now that this is the first step to a great adventure. Use this time to figure out what you want to do in your organization and in life. Solidify the place you want to be in and work hard to get there.
6. Be the solution
No one likes a complainer. Be a change agent instead. Be someone who sees a problem and owns the solution.
Initiative is an amazing, standout quality. The majority of people simply point to a problem and see if someone else comes to fix it.
A lone minority see the problem and realize they could fix it themselves. To them, go the rewards and recognition.
I want 100 more people like that in my business and in my life.
7. Be flexible
Flexibility and adaptability are assets in your career. Things won't always go your way or the way you expected them to go. Sometimes you might be asked to work late, or switch roles, or do something your job description didn't talk about ….
Be willing to adapt and change if needed.
8. Be helpful
Yes, this means changing the printer cartridge. It means answering the phone when someone isn't close to it.
It means helping someone else with their problem.
As a boss, I want a group of individuals who WANT to help each other. Who want to help their teammates take their vacations and will work to fill the gap so they can without worry. Or who understand we are all humans being with struggles and challenges and needs … and there to be helpful and generous with our time and energy.
9. Be on time
This should be implied but I've realized it's not. Show up for work on time, every time, and even before time. When you walk in late, it shows a lack of respect for everyone else.
When in doubt, ask what the expected times are. And be early and stay later. It adds up. People see it. It shows commitment.
And by the way, just because other people on your team don't respect this and are habitually late doesn't mean you follow the herd.
10. Find out how you fit in, quickly
Like I've said before, we hire for fit over talent. In a small business especially, it's vital that you fit in. Otherwise, you're simply a distraction.
Find your place, quickly. Discover your unique role in your organization and what you can contribute to it. Look for the place where you uniquely help others be better and where your talents and strengths are best suited and plug into that.
11. Show up, work hard and you'll standout
Don't shortchange your organization by not showing up — and I don't mean simply skipping work. Although being mediocre, giving partial effort is the same I think.
If you agree to take a job, with specified hours, pay and responsibilities, do your best, every day.
And let me give you a hint …. do more than expected. It makes you stand out and people will take notice.
12. You're not a rockstar
Companies and businesses might say they want to hire "rockstars" but I've found those with the rockstar mentality don't usually work well in teams. Rockstars are about themselves and their own fame and fortune. They are solo acts and that is divisive to most teams.
Be the opposite of a rockstar … be a team player.
This African proverb says it all: "If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together."
On average, cohesive teams will always do more and go farther than rockstars in their selfish silos. Join a team and be the glue or compass or role player (whatever it takes) that makes you all better, together.
BONUS TIP: Get a job before your first "career" job.
If you're still in college, I'd highly suggest you get a job, an internship NOW. Yes, before you graduate. Start working somewhere so you can learn what it means to make money for your time … and how to work with other human beings … and under the direction of someone else.
Our awesome developer Chris Jean, one of the hardest working and talented people I know, often says that working in the fast food industry was one of the best things he ever did. It forced him to develop work habits that we now benefit from.
UPDATE FOR YOUNG PROFESSIONALS: I've also published a new 30-page book on helping you get hired called I Want To Hire You But Your Resume Sucks at my new blog Purposeful Paychecks.

In the five seconds it takes to read a text while driving 55 miles per hour, a driver will travel the length of a football field without looking at the road.
Yet texting behind the wheel is a bad habit that many teens and twenty-somethings like Zachary T. Pitts, Theresa, simply cannot shake.
Despite the flashing signs on state highways notifying drivers of the increased penalties if caught, the 18-year-old Jefferson Community College student says he is not the only one.
I still text and drive, he said. I do it all the time. Im just more careful.
In an effort to get drivers to put away their phones when they drive, the state has sharply hiked the penalties for texters, who now are slapped with a $150 fine and get a five-point offense on their license if they are caught.
Thats nearly half of the 11 points it takes for a drivers license to be suspended, according to the state Department of Motor Vehicles.
For those with a junior operators license, a driving-while-texting violation results in a six-month suspension.
Jefferson County Undersheriff Paul W. Trudeau said the worst offenders are between the ages of 18 and 25 years old.
It has increased as one of our main problems, he said.
According to a news release from Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, there was a 365 percent increase in the number of tickets issued in New York this summer for distracted driving 21,580 compared to last summers 5,208.
And according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nine people die every day from distracted driving.
Mr. Pitts and fellow JCC student Tyler M. John, 17, both have known people who have died after answering a text.
I have checked my phone, but I dont do it often. Just to change a song, said Mr. John, Philadelphia. Id just be too scared to die.
For Mr. Pitts, sending a text or checking his phone while he drives is less about the dangerous aspects.
Its just a bad habit, Mr. Pitts said. Its just having your phone there and needing to check it.
He said that anyone who uses their phone while driving is not likely to stop because of the law.
the problem grows
Jefferson and St. Lawrence counties sheriffs departments do not keep track of the number of distracted-driving tickets issued but say they have observed the number has gone up in recent months.
Its something thats a concern of ours, St. Lawrence County Sheriff Kevin M. Wells said. The changes in law and the increase in penalty are something that we support. We think its something that parents should be talking to their teen drivers about, but its not just the teen drivers. Many adults are texting on their way to and from work.
Deputies and troopers in marked and unmarked patrol cars have been instructed to be especially vigilant for those texting behind the wheel.
We try to have two checkpoints a week, said Watertown State Police Sgt. Robert J. Simpson. The slick-top (marked car with no light bar on top) is out daily looking for violators.
Like Sheriff Wells, he supports the increased fine. The distraction keeps eyes off of a pedestrian or animal crossing the road ahead or a car that had to stop suddenly, he said.
The big thing is that its a distraction from the roadway, he said. If youre looking down at your phone for even a few seconds, youre traveling all that distance without looking at the roadway.
Aware of the danger, but...
State University of New York Canton junior Daniela M. Odle, Heuvelton, said she learned the dangers of texting early on and hasnt tried it since.
When I first got my license, I did it once or twice, and I ended up in the wrong lane of traffic, she said.
According to the DMV, people in the habit of texting while driving spend about 10 percent of their driving time outside of their lane.
Some have never been given a chance to make it a habit.
Watertown High School senior Johanna L. Capone, 17, keeps her phone out of reach while she is in her car because of a promise she made to her parents.
Its always in the back seat, she said. As long as I was driving their car, it was their rule that I had to have my phone in the back seat.
For those like Mr. Pitts, however, the temptation to check their phone when a friends text buzzes in outweighs the risks.
Aubree M. Stahler occasionally checks her phone while driving, as do many of her fellow students at SUNY Potsdam. But then she sees the televised public service messages, with teary-eyed family members describing the last moments of a young person who died because of texting while driving.
The DMV says just reaching for a cellphone makes a driver 1.4 times more likely to crash. Dialing a number doubles the risk.
It kind of terrifies me, the Rochester native said. I dont want to be that person, where the last text your friend gets is right before your car gets wrapped around a tree.
Although she hasnt kicked her occasional texting-while-driving habit, she believes the strict penalties for those caught are fair and may help decrease fatal accidents.
I dont think its excessive at all, she said.
It is a common theme with students, who fess up to checking their phone behind the wheel but still support strict penalties for those who are caught.
People should be punished, said 17-year-old Alexandra K. Wolsifer, Watertown. Its just like drinking and driving.
She said she does not send texts while driving but admitted shes guilty of making calls or checking her phone.
I keep my phone in my cup holder so I can see when I get a message, but I dont text and drive, she said.
The $50 fine increase has made her more careful about checking it, however.
Im checking less now, she said. My phone flashes colors when I get a text, but I dont do it at night, ever, because its hard to see.
Her mom, Tracy A. Wolsifer, said her children are not supposed to text while driving. Despite the rule, she said, she has been worried about the consequences ever since cellphones started offering texting services.
I know theyve done it a few times, she said. They know I wont pay for their insurance if they do.
Andrew D. Swords, another SUNY Potsdam student, said he occasionally texts behind the wheel, but not regularly.
I think a few here and there is not a bad thing, as long as youre not starting a whole conversation, he said.
Despite this belief, he also supports the strict state laws.
I think theyre pretty fair, the sophomore from Carthage said. I knew a kid who was texting all the time and ran into a light pole. That could have been someone else.

New study highlights link between intimate partner violence and HIV
A new study published by the Women and Health journal has revealed an inextricable link between intimate partner violence (IPV) and increased risk of HIV infection. The study was conducted in the United States by The Miriam Hospital and the University of Rochester and is based on a randomised control trial with clients of a sexually transmitted infections (STIs) clinic in New York State. Results of the study have provided an important insight into the ways in which IPV can lead to risky sexual behaviour, such as low levels of condom use.
The links between violence against women by intimate partners and HIV have been well documented in relation to increased sexual risk. The mechanisms that lead IPV to result in risky sexual behaviour were less understood, however. The study findings indicate that fear plays an important part in the ability of women in violent relationships to negotiate safer sex. In turn, this fear of a violent response from their partners puts women at great risk of HIV infection.
IPV remains an issue facing many women around the world. Not only does it restrict their right to protect themselves, it also places their health at risk. Co-author of the IPV study, Theresa Senn, concludes that HIV prevention and sexual health services must address IPV, and the fear of IPV when negotiating safer sex, to ensure that women are receiving comprehensive care.

Excellent, I'm from Brazil and recently I changed my Fat Boy 2004 by a 2007 De Luxe. My disappointment was big regarding the back suspension. I got information in J&P website and I decided to buy new shock absorbers. I received very quickly and it is already installed. Now I have another bike. The difference was amazing. I'm very happy with the results. Bity Brazil

Sabyasachi's work to be exhibited at Sotheby's London
Indian designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee's wedding saris and a range of specially commissioned shawls and headbands will be showcased as part of the 'Inspired by India' selling exhibition of contemporary design at Sotheby's in London May 8-15.
Sotheby's reputed curator Janice Blackburn feels Mukherjee was an undisputed choice for the segment.
"He is to my mind the finest and most original of the Indian dress and accessory designers. He doesn't look to the west for his inspiration but rather the colourful low life of India – gypsies, the desert, Bollywood," Blackburn said in a press statement.
"His work is very Indian but in a way that in the west we understand and appreciate and value," added Blackburn.
The exhibition is curated by Blackburn and designed by Tricia Guild of Designers Guild.
Blackburn feels it's wonderful that the new generation of designers is trying to revive the old crafts while maintaining a contemporary feel in the clothes.
"I visited and travelled extensively in India for many years and am particularly interested in crafts such as weaving, tie-dying, embroidery, enamelling, paper and so on…. It is sad that most of the skills and craft traditions we associate and value in India are dying out and not being passed on to the next generation who prefer to go to the cities.
"Much of the work is now mass-produced and poor. But there is a new generation of designers who are adapting these traditional skills and using them for well-designed contemporary work. This is what interests me," added Blackburn.
But Sabyasachi is special.
"His workmanship is exquisite – all handmade – embroidery, beading. He has the finest aesthetic and stays true to his Indian roots. I have followed his progress since he first began designing and am absolutely thrilled he has agreed to exhibit in 'Inspired by India'," she said.
Mukherjee, who regularly designs for the who's who of the country, and also dressed international talk show queen Oprah Winfrey on her India visit, is ecstatic about the news.
"I'm feeling happy that I am being recognised for being Indian, primarily for being myself. I have always said that the only way to become global is to have a local soul. And I am really happy that this is being validated time and again in my career," he said.

Next Update: September 9, 2009 (By 5pm)
Designed to promote recreational fishing in Maryland, recognize angler efforts and inspire environmental stewardship, the 2009 Maryland Fishing Challenge began Friday, May 29th and runs through Labor Day, September 7, 2009. Any angler who catches a citation-qualifying fish will be eligible to win one of the official sponsor grand prizes including a boat, motor and trailer from Bass Pro Shops and thousands of dollars in merchandise and fishing trips from Bill's Outdoor Center.
Specially tagged striped bass, one of which is Diamond Jim and now worth $25,000 if caught by midnight on August 31, 2009 have been released at locations throughout the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries. The other tagged striped bass, Diamond Jim imposters, will be worth $500 each if caught at any time during the contest.
Here is the link to the Fishing Challenge website; a world of information there. www.dnr.state.md.us/fishingchallenge/
September is here, Labor Day approaches and the grip of the summer swelter is finally slipping. Certainly there will be more heat but for the first time it can be considered to be fleeting. The Maryland Fishing Challenge will end on September 7th at midnight and
Steven Williams of Lusby made sure he got his citation size white perch entered. Steve caught his 13-1/4" white perch under the Thomas Johnson Bridge on the Patuxent River on the afternoon of the 31st and proudly holds up his white perch and citation entry form at the dock of JJ's Tackle Shop; which is an official citation center at Solomons. Good luck to the almost 1,600 entrants that are qualified for the prize drawing on September 19th at Sandy Point State Park.
Fishermen in the upper Chesapeake Bay region are finding good fishing for a mix of bluefish and striped bass as well as spot and white perch. The middle bay region fishermen are seeing Spanish mackerel spread from the mouth of Eastern Bay to the southern limits of the region and fishermen are enjoying excellent opportunities of catching them by either trolling or casting to breaking fish. Bluefish are also spread throughout the entire region and striped bass are being caught by live lining, trolling or jigging. Croakers, spot and flounder are being caught in good numbers from the Bay Bridge south.
Lower bay region fishermen are seeing excellent fishing for Spanish mackerel and bluefish with good fishing for striped bass. Most fishermen are catching a mix of Spanish mackerel and bluefish by trolling or casting to breaking fish.
Patrick Marcinkos caught this nice Spanish mackerel while fishing with his dad near Cedar Point. Patrick and his dad caught a mix of Spanish mackerel, bluefish and striped bass while jigging under breaking fish.
Fishing for a mix of croakers, spot and flounder in the lower bay/Tangier Sound regions continues to be very good this week. Flounder are spread out over a wide area and fishermen have been enjoying the abundance.
Freshwater anglers are still catching some of the large rainbow trout that have been stocked in western region waters. The north branch of the Potomac near
Barnum was the latest area to be stocked and fishermen have been enjoying the bounty. Largemouth bass continue to be the main focus of most summer time freshwater fishermen and cooling temperatures should cause these fish to become more active. There are certainly lots of other freshwater fish out there to entertain fishermen such as this nice chain pickerel caught and released by
Robert Blake at Loch Raven Reservoir.
Oceanside anglers are finding good flounder fishing in the Ocean City back bays, as well as bluefish and striped bass at the inlet. Surf fishermen are catching a summer mix of small species and the boats headed out to the offshore areas are finding white marlin, dolphin and yellowfin tuna.
I never lost a little fish - yes, I am
free to say. It was always the biggest
fish I caught that got away.

I am in the process of writing thank you notes to friends who sent me cards and flowers after my grandfather passed away. I know they may get thank yous from my aunt as well, who is in possession of the register that they all signed. However, I wanted to write my own personal ones as well. My dilemma is that my boyfriend's family gave me a plant, in person at his aunt's home, and signed the card from 4 households. Do I write individual thank yous to each household or should I write it to the aunt who obviously wrote the card and reference their names in the thank you?
Pam, you should write to each household. It may be that the aunt was the one who wrote the card, but you don't know who purchased the plant. Take them for their word and assume that the plant, as well as the well-wishes, came from all.
My 3.5 year old toddler son and I will attend my little sisters university graduation. What is a child his age supposed to wear?
I have been with my boyfriend for over 9 years. I am a bridesmaid for his sister. How do you think she should list me in the program? Thanks!
Elizabeth, thank you. She already did a draft of the program and sent it to me and I saw that I was listed as "friend of the bride." It stung a little because that isn't the true description of the relationship (we are friendly but I'm her brother's long term girlfriend, that's the main thing), but seeing that you listed that as a possibility makes me feel better. She didn't ask for my input but I wanted to see what other people's gut reponses were. Thanks so much.
I think friend of the bride is more charming sounding! I would feel more like she's really asking your to be her attendant out of affection for you – not some duty to her brother. It also is likely to be a more permanent description of your relationship to her for a keepsake such as a wedding program. In the future you may become "brother's wife" or "brother's ex-girlfriend" but regardless of your relationship with him she will likely always consider your her friend.

deleting old backups from d2d
Ive made a tape duplicate of an old d2d main backup to save space and now i need to get rid of the d2d copy. Im guessing its not as simple as deleting the virtual tapes or is it? and what if the virtual tapes had been appended to?
Comments 6 Comments • Jump to latest comment
Don't delete off the D2D itself. Rather navigate to the files within BE itself and erase the files. Once done, if the files haven't been deleted, you can do so.
Alternative ways to access Backup Exec Technical Support:
Hello JJ,
Further adding to Criag's post, and assuming that you are working with Backup Exec 2012, you could refer to the following link to delete a backup set using Backup Exec 2012: http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH182577
For Backup Exec 2010 and below, you may refer to the following link: http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH5409
Thanks and Regards,
Siddhant Saini
...no way to selectively delete information from tapes. It's an all-or-nothing approach. Unless you restore the data elsewhere, delete what you don't need and then back it up. This is a long-way around approach though.
Alternative ways to access Backup Exec Technical Support:
I am thinking you are backing up to a VTL and it has duplicated the data to a physical tape
To save space you have to simply erase the tape using an erase job
If you have appended the virtual tape after duplicating it to teh physical tape all the data appended is at a loss.
either wait for the appended data to be expired or erase the Virtual tape and regain your precious space!

Victor Martinez was the latest player profiled over at Baseball Prospectus. You get a look through Martinez's minor league career as well as his debut and breakout seasons. The move to first base is also discussed as is Martinez's mediocre defense behind the plate. Good read though, especially if you're not familiar with the upstart catcher.

Madison, WI -- The Beloit College Women's Soccer team continued to struggle putting the ball in the goal on Sunday afternoon in a 2-0 loss at Edgewood College.
After a scoreless opening half Edgewood finally broke through with a score just over a minute into the second half. They added some insurance at 85:33 to close out the scoring.
The Buccaneers were out-shot 25-3 on the game. Goalkeeper Kourtney Kingslien and the Beloit defense kept the Bucs close, Kingslien finishing with ten saves.
Beloit has the week off before getting back on the pitch next Saturday when they host Ripon College in a Midwest Conference game, beginning a four-game homestand. Kickoff is at 1:00 p.m.

Jarrett "Jay" Lee Gray
August 8, 1968-December 20, 2013
Jarrett "Jay" Lee Gray, 45, of Newport died peacefully in Burlington on December 20, 2013 surrounded by his family. Jarrett was born in Newport on August 8, 1968, the son of Douglas and Pauline Gray.
Please see The Newport Daily Express Monday for the complete story.
Some of the coldest temperatures of the winter season so far hit the region last week.
Friday afternoon was bitterly cold, but many Kingdom residents braved the weather to see 1 of two showings of Northern Borders at the Barton Library. Northern Borders is Jay Craven's newest movie, and is based on a book written by Howard Frank Mosher of Irasburg.
DERBY - In the 2013 session the Vermont Legislature passed a law allowing undocumented workers the right to obtain a driver's privilege card.
NEWPORT – The last few years have been challenging for North Country Hospital, including the year 2013, which included some troublesome issues.
The hospital has a new facilities director who is evaluating all of the entities under North Country Health Systems Inc. to make sure everything is functioning properly and in compliance. Making sure everyone is protected and safe is a top priority, hospital CEO Claudio Fort said in a recent interview.

A Drop that Will Fill up your Soul.
"How could drops of water know themselves to be a river?
Yet the river flows on…"
~ Antoine de Saint-Exupery
I woke up extra early this morning, and just to watch this most magnificent sunrise.
The morning air was crisp and icy cold against my cheek, as I closed my eyes and breathed in that first full breath of day.
And as, I whispered the softest of inner 'thank yous'—the sweetest 'you're welcome' returned to my soul.
We are all part of something much greater than just our own simple selves, even on those days when we feel much like just one drop in this 'sea.'
It's in these little moments, the ones that we most must never forget—that it takes just one 'drop' to fill up a soul.
Enjoy this most wonder-filled and gracious day—as there won't ever be another one just like it.

I have a wonderful Dr who treats many FIBRO patients. Here are some of the meds that you might talk to you Dr about.
AVINZA - A time released morphine. Because it gives you a timed out dosage, it helps so much if you are in incredible pain with Fibro. The starting dose is 30 mg for one day.
CYMBALTA -This medication has helped me a lot. The lowest dose (I believe) is 30 mg. My Dr had to find the right dose for me and it's helping a lot.
VOLTAREN ER - This is an anti-inflammatory medication that I take every day with milk or food in the AM. I wasn't sure how much it was helping until I had to have a colonoscopy and had to be off of the VOLTAREN for 10 days. OMG - I was in agony! I could not help being amazed at how helpful this drug was for me with FIBRO.
SOMA & ELAVIL - to take at bedtime. It relaxes me and the Elavil helps with depression. I sleep about 10 - 12 hours a day and this helps a lot.
I hope that some of this information helps you to at least start a conversation with your Dr. I have other illnesses that my Dr treats me for, but these medications, I use are basically for the Fibro. I also take Percocet for break through pain as I need it.
Best of luck. As my Dr had to find a combination of medications that would specifically help me, so might your Dr be able to do this for you. It might take a # of tries for him/her to get it right. But at least you'd be on the right path. DON'T GIVE UP.View Thread
I went from one Dr in a research hospital who thought that if he got rid of the inflammation, the pain would go away, so no pain meds. They really didn't know what FIBRO was, let alone how to treat it. After trial and error, I finally found a Dr (Neurologist) who is also my pain specialist. He is a wonder and I wouldn't feel even this good, without him. I do take about 14 medications. So, he treats me for Fibro and the chronic migraines, chronic pain, and osteoarthritis. I see a rheumatologist for the RA and am on Orencia infusions, which seem to help better than Enbrel or Remicade. Fibro is a day by day disease. I take heavy duty medications that help me to keep on going. Whne I was a young kid, I always wanted to live to be at least 100. Now, at almost 59 years old, I still want to live that long. As long as I can manage the pain.View Thread
