You Can Keep Your Old Brass Ring
Women should push for substance over symbolism in this election.
Read what XX Factor bloggers have written about Hillary's exit.
It's this mind-set, along with pure Hillary loyalty, that's presumably fueling the drive on the part of her supporters to propel her to the vice-presidential nomination. Maybe this push will prove short-lived, a last burst of Clinton campaign energy, a stage of grieving on the way to greater resolution. If that's the case, I don't begrudge Hillary supporters their V.P. ardor. If it took their candidate a few days to come to terms with her own loss, her supporters—who don't do politics for a living—are due a longer grace period.
And yet I'm surprised and disappointed that the voters and groups who had aligned themselves with Clinton's candidacy aren't using this moment of maximum attention to thrust into the spotlight the rest of what could become a larger agenda. What about choosing three priorities from my back-of-the-envelope list? Or creating another list, if you like, and then holding Obama to it? If women got behind and won national paid family leave or a big chunk of new federal money for expanding preschool, wouldn't that be a better test of collective voting power than the symbolic V.P. brass ring?
This is a lesson that comes straight from our foremothers. They're the ones who pushed as hard as they could for equal pay, who won legislative victories that aim to protect us against discrimination in the workplace and elsewhere. They wanted women at the top of every field, yes, but as the Cat in the Hat would say, that is not all, oh no, that is not all. Ruth Rosen, author of The World Split Open: How the Modern Women's Movement Changed America, points out that the 1970 Women's Strike for Equality, which culminated in a march down Fifth Avenue, was about legal abortion, equal pay for equal work, and child care. Rosen thinks that the broadening of the agenda in the four decades is as it should be. "There was a time when it was really important to point out the things that only affect women," she says. "Now it's important to point out how problems that affect everyone affect women worse. Like home foreclosures." At the same time, legal abortion is looking a little shaky these days, equal pay has been achieved more in theory than in practice, and child care hasn't really been on the national agenda since the Nixon administration.
So there's a real place now for women's groups that push legislation instead of candidates—organizations like MomsRising and 9to5, National Association for Working Women, to name just two. These groups didn't endorse Clinton or Obama. Their tax-exempt status doesn't allow them to, and they have that status because they're playing a different role than political action committees like NOW. The MomsRising and 9to5 Web sites are stuffed with information about which states are moving forward on paid family leave (New Jersey, lately) and access to preschool (Oklahoma and Georgia). "We do have Moms Vote 08," says Kristin Rowe-Finkbeiner, one of the leaders of MomsRising. "It's candidate bingo: You watch a debate and see who's saying what about our issues. The candidates get a point each time they mention one of them, because our goal is to get any candidate talking about the things our members care about."
And to listen to what they say. This spring, John McCain has opposed the Fair Pay Act on the probably specious ground that it will lead to frivolous lawsuits, while Barack Obama—as well as Clinton—voted for it. Women can still swing this election in ways that have nothing to do with the president's gender and everything to do with the pressing day-to-day needs of women. If it's a man who we get to give us what we want, hey, we'll take it.

Starbucks to Open on Royal Caribbean Cruise Ship
Chris Carr, senior vice president and general manager of Starbucks Licensed Stores, tells AOL Travel News the coffee retailer goes where customers want them to be, and that includes on the ship.
"It's exciting for us to have the ability to extend our relationship with our customers, the local neighborhood Starbucks experience they have on land... out at sea," Carr says "We're ecstatic about the opportunity to reach our customers in this unique place."
The Starbucks on the 225,282-ton Allure will be located in the Royal Promenade, a massive atrium area with shops and restaurants that feels like a mall, on a ship that population-wise is the size of a small town.
The outlet will sell the same signature drinks – Frappuccinos, lattes, et al – and seasonal specialties as on land, and food too, at a la carte prices comparable to what's charged at U.S. Starbucks outlets. Allure passengers will be able to pay with cash or their shipboard credit card, Carr says.
Baristas will work for Royal Caribbean, as part of the licensing agreement, but be trained by Starbucks. Carr says the outlet will look like a Starbucks and provide a "seamless experience" for customers.
Adam Goldstein, president and CEO of Royal Caribbean, tells AOL Travel News the cruise line is excited to introduce "one of the most recognizable brands in the world" on its newest ship.
Royal Caribbean likes partnering with popular brands, Goldstein says, pointing to the success of Johnny Rockets hamburger outlets on several of the line's ships, as one example.
For nearly 10 years, the cruise line has had an agreement with Seattle's Best Coffee, which became a Starbucks subsidiary in 2003, so the opening of the outlet on Allure "was a very logical next step to explore in this relationship," Goldstein says.
Seattle's Best will still be offered in the main dining room, room service, Café Promenade and other outlets on Allure, at no charge.
Asked if the deal will expand to Starbucks outlets on the line's other 21 ships, Goldstein says opportunities are being explored.
While he declined to comment on specific financial details of the agreement with Starbucks, Goldstein says "Both companies have a real opportunity here from an economic standpoint."
Branding-wise, he says the companies are also a good match. "It makes a lot of sense why the first Starbucks at sea would be on Royal Caribbean International because of the broad (demographic) base of our offerings," Goldstein says. "Starbucks is broad -based enough in their appeal that we think it's a pretty positive marriage."
Goldstein himself does not drink coffee but is a self-described "hardcore" hot chocolate fan. "I've had lots and lots of Starbucks hot chocolate," he says.
Allure of the Seas, sister ship to Oasis of the Seas, officially debuts in December.

GuideStar seeks "to revolutionize philanthropy and nonprofit practice by providing information that advances transparency, enables users to make better decisions, and encourages charitable giving." Progress in American philanthropy and nonprofit practice is constrained by the absence of extensive information about the practices of nonprofit organizations. Before GuideStar, donors lacked the information to initiate their philanthropy and follow the progress of organizations to which they give; nonprofits and their boards had no means to study and/or compare their own operating practices and results with those of similar organizations; and nonprofits, government agencies, and grants administrators suffered from the requirements of burdensome and duplicative reporting systems. By securing the collaboration of all of these audiences, GuideStar is now building the common, open information infrastructure required to eliminate these inefficiencies and ensure a more effective allocation of society's resources.
Target demographics:
Anyone that wants information about charities.

Guidestar's new Website makes it even easier for bad charities to make themselves look good. What people will read on Guidestar is the charity's own marketing material about all the wonderful things they do. This will let even the worse charities make themselves look good.
Saying "goodbye" to admin overhead is a blank check for many charities to continue excessive fundraising expenses, overhead, and egregious executive salaries. The 990's will make little sense to anyone other than seasoned accountants or the most savvy financial readers.
It appears Guidestar is nothing more than a vehicle to enable clever charities to promote themselves. #shameful

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Founder/CEO of Pathways For Change, Inc. I bring clinical strengths to our organization, but I've had to rely on mentors and organizations like GuideStar to learn how to implement compliant nonprofit strategies. GuideStar has allowed me, at my own pace, to explore best practices and implement those practices throughout every aspect of our organization. I highly recommend a Gold Star rating experience!

Thank you Guidestar for providing the platform to share the details of our hard-working organization. Founded in the 1990's, our message of training in the absence of violence has grown in importance with the news headlines. Our presence on Guidestar is often mentioned as the first place potential donors looked after they heard about our programs. When Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II became our patron to encourage our Horse Sense and Healing program, we knew we were in the ultimate fishbowl. Guidestar was there for us, even internationally, to assure and guide the public. Thank you!
Warm regards,
Debbie Loucks

A great tool for nonprofits to share the good work and impact they have on their community. I work for a nonprofit and refer all friends and family to check Great Nonprofits before making a donation to any organization.

If I could give them zero stars, I would. They have the WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE imaginable. If you are a nonprofit looking for help, expect to wait at least a week for each correspondence. Write them an email, wait a week for a response that doesn't even match your request. Write another email, wait another week. Maybe I'm missing the point of GuideStar, but I thought their mission is to help the nonprofit sector. Worse than that, you can't call them and if you request that they call you, you're just out of luck. If you're lucky enough to get a phone call, you'd better be at your desk the moment they decide to call you (about a week later) or you'll receive a voicemail telling you to email them. How can a multi-million dollar nonprofit brag about being the "leader" in anything if their customer service is so terrible?

We are looking for any organizations that would like to be involved in a lawsuit against Great Nonprofits and Guidestar of their unmonitored reviewing methods of charities that can cause irreparable damage to good organizations.
1 person found this review helpful
I first started using Guidestar nearly 5 years ago to provide some very basic updates to our organizational profile. We started taking Guidestar seriously, when the donor walked through the door and asked to update all sections of our organizational profile and solicit at least 5 reviews through Great Non Profits in order to complete for the grant. Many of my colleagues view Guidestar as a watchdog of the nonprofit industry. To me, it is first and foremost an incredible source for the research. I'm often using Guidestar for benchmarking and learning about specific organizations in the nonprofit world. This year, I was honored to be invited to participate on the Guidestar User Advisory Panel, and I'm looking forward to providing feedback on their new initiatives while learning more about this fascinating organization.

I have been using guidestar for years in my grant writing and updating our nonprofits profile for our donors to have access to our information. The site has improved tremendously over the years and in the last couple of years I've had the pleasure of being able to provide feedback on their ideas and new products.
I am really excited about Guidestar and their willingness and ability to stay current in regard to technology and in trying to understand and accommodate the needs of its client base. They seem to take this responsibility personally which tells me it will only get better from here.
Congratulations Guidestar team for a job well done!

Overall, GuideStar is a very valuable service - both for non-profit staff and members of the public who use the site to conduct due-diligence.
In terms of being a member of the advisory panel, I have enjoyed the opportunity to provide feedback and believe that such a panel would be useful to many other organizations. I would welcome the opportunity to have additional volunteer options within the GuideStar community.
i love guidestar! i use it for all of my research in the non-profit world. easy to use, easy to read. i recommend it to all of my clients (foundations and philanthropists) and to all the non-profits i work with as well. and the nicest thing is that most of the basic information you will need is free. the upgrades are amazing, and can be useful as well, of course. guidestar is professional and continuously strives to do better (and not making changes just for the sake of making changes, as so many websites do!). keep up the good work, guidestar.

In my recent coverage of Delta's triple-mile bonus for Shuttle flights, I speculated that US Airways would be forced to match Delta's offer, and that "United might feel compelled to counter with bonuses for New York-Chicago flights as well."
We still haven't seen any response from US Airways, but United has indeed launched a counter-offer for flights on its New York-Chicago routes.
Offer Details
First, let's put the geographic requirement up front: "Offer valid only for Mileage Plus members residing in Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, New York, Connecticut, or New Jersey. Residency will be determined by the primary address on the Mileage Plus account at the time the bonus is awarded."
Mileage Plus members who meet the residency requirements will earn triple redeemable miles and triple elite-qualifying miles on non-stop United and United Express flights between Chicago O'Hare and New York LaGuardia completed between June 16 and August 31.
Registration is required before travel begins and must be completed before August 31.
Deal or No Deal
The math is pretty compelling: Six round-trips are worth 26,388 miles, enough for a free award ticket and entry-level elite status. And even if six flights aren't on your travel agenda, triple elite-qualifying miles are always a plus.
Of course, you can earn the same bonus for Delta's newly launched New York-Chicago Shuttle flights, and for American's New York-Chicago flights as well.
With generous bonuses on offer from the three largest airlines, the question for flyers on the disputed routes isn't whether they want bonus miles, it's what kind of bonus miles they want.
Reader Reality Check
Triple miles, anyone?

I am 16 weeks pregnant and don't want to do a thing! I don't want to get dressed, I don't want to comb my hair all I feel like doing is laying around. I thought I should be over this by the second trimester.

Welcome to pregnancy! It will more than likely get worse the bigger you get. My second triemster I feel pretty good but it depends on the day, once you hit the 3rd triemester you start to get more and more lazy.posted 08/13/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
I feel exactly the same! I will be 16 weeks this wednesday, and this is my second pregnancy. I don't recall having this problem the first time, and I was looking forward to feeling a little better and having a little more energy in the second trimester...but so far, I feel worse. I just keep waiting for it to improve. Of course, I think the fact that I work and I have a very active 3 year old is a contributing factor... something has to give, I can't function this exhausted...it is making me miserable.posted 08/14/2010 by wright306
I was soooo tired when I was pregnant esp in the begining! The week before I found out I was in bed all day just out of exhaustion. I was really worried I had something wrong with me and then missed my period and it all made sense! I got more energy after my 1st trimester, of course the bigger you get the harder it is to move around but the actual exhaustion won't be as bad!posted 08/13/2010 by katidavenport628

Holy Shiite!
There isnt enough sand in Iraq to cover up Paul Bremers incompetence.
by Al Uthman
Things really dont seem to be going too well in Iraq lately, do they? What ever happened to our easy in-out feel-good liberation war, our pick-me-up to get over the 9/11 hangover? We
did. We happened. As a nation, our utter incapacity to perceive our own blatant hypocrisy is nothing short of stunning. There are so many recent examples of this that a comprehensive list would require a stack of newspapers to print, but heres a few off the top of my head:
1. Recently abducted Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide needed to be removed from power, due to extremely dubious misgivings about truly minor election discrepancies not even pertaining to his own election, but "whiny liberals" who complain
about Florida or fret about the new, easily rigged, record-free touch screen voting machines which will play a major factor in November are paranoid traitors.
2. Somehow, the people of America are safer when they have no idea what their leaders are doing.
3. An executive branch full of shmoes who managed to avoid the draft are brave and strong, while a guy who went to Vietnam, got shot up, and then had the balls to admit the war was pointless and wrong is some kind of softy.
4. Biblical minutia, such as the one line in appendix z-12 about gay people, is absolutely carved in stone, but "Thou Shalt Not Kill" is, well, really more of a guideline.
And then theres my current favorite:
5. In order to better foster freedom and democracy in Iraq, we had to forcibly shut down a newspaper there.
Moqtada Sadr, the radical Shiite cleric whose weekly paper, Al-Hawza, was officially put under a sixty day ban March 28th, is not a cool guy by any means. He is a religious fundamentalist, and that sucks in any flavor. Contrary to cultivated
belief, most Shiites are more moderate, and dont favor a strictly religious Sharia-style government. But Sadr isnt one of them. Hes a nut, and hes got followers. Armed followers. He has advocated violence against US troops, and now hes committing it.
It should be said, however, that his violent distrust of the US is not so unreasonable, considering our foul bait-and-switch move in Gulf War 1, when George Bush 1s dishonorable betrayal of both Shiites and Kurds triggered a mass slaughter and forever
damaged our already shaky credibility in the region. It should also be said that many of the viewpoints he espouses are not so far off the mark (namely the not-so-unreasonable assertions, really lessons learned over the last few wars, that America is not to be trusted, that we
work hand in hand with Israel, and that free and fair elections are not in the cards while we continue to occupy Iraq, despite our "Democratic" rhetoric).
While the Kurds, desperate for even a temporary and conditional ally, seem more inclined to get whatever help they can from us, Sadr has been intent from early in the game on the overthrow and expulsion of what he considers to be an imperial occupying force.
Paul Bremer, sent in to replace Jay Garner as the US administrator of Iraq, is almost single-handedly screwing up the whole occupation, quickly blundering his way into a Vietnam-sized snafu. What was once largely avoidable is now an intractable and bloody
Bremers own vanity, cultural insensitivity and strategic ineptitude led us here. His decision to finally squash Al-Hawza may have had something to do with the front-page headline "Bremer Follows in the Footsteps of Saddam," accusing Bremer
of intentionally starving Iraqis. Ironically, that is precisely whats happening now, as US troops divert shipments of food and medical aid headed to Falluja, donated by the Sunnis former enemies.
Bremers decision to close the paper is now widely regarded as a gross miscalculation, as was the clearly revenge-motivated attack on Falluja, which has only served to turn the whole town against us and become another rallying point for the expanding
resistance. While my TV reports an "uneasy ceasefire," "Democracy Now" tells of women and children continuing to be sniped in the street as they step outside their homes.
While the idea itself of censoring a publication out of existence for holding forth opinions extremely critical of US policy should just sound wrong to any real American, it seems we are all too effortlessly eased out of one dogmatic paradigm and into the next.
Remember how dearly we held our bill of rights not so long ago, when the Soviet specter was the murderous boogeyman du jour? Censorship was the purview of the Evil Empire, and we were different. Some may find it repugnant, but an American could call the president whatever he
wanted; it was his right. Now protesters are herded into "Free Speech Zones" far from the leaders they wish to engage, you can go to jail for saying "Someone should shoot George Bush" to someone at a bar, and the word "Orwellian" is becoming a tired
cliché, perhaps on its way to becoming a compliment.
In fact, it seems that all of the criticism in the mainstream press argues that the decision to ban the paper came too late to be effective. There is something to this: Sadr has been building an armed militia, and by the time Bremer confronted him, he was too
powerful to contain. But by attempting to, Bremer did the impossible: united the long-distant Shiite and Sunni resistance movements against a more powerful common enemy: us. Perhaps he really is the right guy for the job.
My problem is this: by suppressing Sadrs undoubtedly hate-filled and rabblerousing paper, we played right into his hands, confirming once again that were a nation that knows how to talk the talk, but absolutely refuses to get out of its chair. And if we
ever wanted to succeed in capturing the "hearts and minds" of Iraq, it is totally essential that we walk it like we talk it. These people have been repeatedly victimized by some of the most exquisitely brutal victimizers in the world, and they can smell bullshit coming
from miles away or across the globe.
We were once promised that our troops would be received as "liberators," and they actually were, albeit hesitantly. Now, however, the honeymoon is definitely over. Hundreds of soldiers and Iraqis have died in recent days, as well as about a hundred of
the estimated 18,000 ex-soldier mercenaries who are also stationed there, including the four "civilian contractors" who were so shockingly blown up and then publicly displayed by chanting crowds in Falluja. An estimated 40 or so hostages have been taken, mostly Asians
whose marginally involved countries have been deeply shaken by the ordeal. Even the US-appointed governing council is turning on us. All this almost a year after Bush declared "mission accomplished" while pretending to have landed a plane on a boat.
How did we get here? How did such a pushover nation, grateful to have finally been relieved of a truly monstrous tyrant (even if by the same people who brought him in), evolve in one year into a total quagmire, an obvious no-win situation in which our options
are either to bail out and let the chips fall or to violently suppress the will of the natives, and force them to play nice as they occasionally blow us up?
Now theres a report out of Iran that mysterious trucks with phony plates are breezing through checkpoints, uninspected and unnoticed due to the twin battle distractions, on their way to plant a payload of WMDs somewhere in Iraq, presumably to be discovered
at a politically opportune time. Im not sure whos doing the fact-checking in Tehran, and its hardly a credible story, but I offer it for a reason: I would have simply dismissed such a story as ridiculous at a different point in my life, but I found myself
After all, if theres anything Bushs inner circle has revealed to us in the last three years, its that they will stop at nothing to get what they want. Theyve been working quickly since the attacks, weakening the bill of rights, consolidating media sources,
forcing through cash giveaways to their sponsors. It seems almost as if they have hit upon a brave new formula of extreme deniability: the more outrageous and impossibly brazen the stunt they pull, the less likely people are to believe it. It seems that a lot of you, more than
half, at least, simply cannot handle the real facts about what your government has become, choosing instead to block out the increasingly critical, dire, and documented truths that are even seeping in through the drying, choked-off tributaries to the mainstream. But its time
we faced it. Still-resolute Bush/Cheney supporters know in their heart of hearts that theyre dishonest crooks, but they see the whole thing as more of a sporting event than anything else. All they know is, theyre not going to let those liberal weirdos win. They define
themselves in negative, as an opposite to those they resent.
So, were these guys to attempt a stunt like that, and should reports surface of it in more dependable news sources, a loyal Fox News watching Bush supporter wouldnt have to think twice about his response: "liberal media propaganda!" then Bush would
make a rare appearance, stammer his way through some clumsily glib denial as naked fear and confusion periodically crossed his face, and that would be that. And that is how it has gone, through Halliburton scandals, cocaine scandals, courtroom scandals, energy scandals, and now
the 9/11 scandal. In front of the world, Bush addressed reporters and made the infuriating case that a memo titled Bin Laden Determined to Strike in US "Said nothing about an attack on America." He went on to complain that the memo didnt provide a time and
place of imminent attack. Balls. No one ever gets that. Its obvious that these guys just kind of missed this stuff, and I for one would have a little more respect for the guy if he just said, "Listen. I was on vacation, OK? I dont know anything about what goes on
around here anyway. Go bother an adult, willya?" Incurious George cant even testify in secret without uncle Dick to protect him. How do Bush supporters defend that tactic, I wonder? Im sure they have a line for it, one that sounds simple, and spells easy. And thats
But thats not that. This isnt a sport. These guys are lying, and you all know itall of you. Stop helping them; theyre not helping you, unless you make enough money not to have to pay taxes at all, like Pepsi. Theyre keeping everything they do
secret, and totally refusing to budge on letting anyone, even congress or the courts, in on it. We all know theyre hiding something with that energy committee. Antonin Scalia wont let anyone tape record himwhy? Is he afraid of losing profits to bootleggers, who will sell
numerous copies of twelfth-generation tapes to roving bands of Scalia-heads? Why would anyone continue to associate themselves with this gang of power mad sociopaths, let alone defend them? The truth will out eventually. The writing is on the wall, folks, and its written in
the blood of our slack-jawed young soldiers. Youd better rethink this election thingdont you want to be on the winning team?

The football axiom is offense, defense and special teams each account for a third of the game.
But in Cleveland, special teams accounted for at least two-thirds of what made the Browns tick in 2009.
The Browns finished 32nd in the NFL in offense and 31st in defense but still managed to win five games. That's because Cleveland fielded the league's best special teams, according to rankings compiled annually by The Dallas Morning News.
The league's 32 teams are ranked in 22 categories and assigned points according to their standing – one for the best, 32 for the worst. The Browns finished first in special teams with a composite score of 215.5 – a whopping 41 points better than runner-up Tampa Bay…

The challenge of global HIV/AIDS requires sustained cooperative effort from host and donor nations, as well as international, national, and community organizations, employing their comparative strengths and resources. A key element of U.S. leadership under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR/Emergency Plan) is to promote a comprehensive response by building international commitment to coordinated action to address HIV/AIDS at the country level.
Limited resources must be used efficiently to avoid duplication and achieve maximum impact. All contributors must work within the context of host country HIV/AIDS strategies, with a deliberate eye to building capacity and transferring responsibility for a sustained long-term response. This chapter focuses on Emergency Plan accomplishments in strengthening such coordinated action.
Strengthening International and Country-Level Coordination
The dramatic leadership commitment of the United States has greatly increased resources available to combat the HIV/AIDS pandemic and has brought coordination of strategies, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation to the forefront. The United States has been a partner and a facilitator of such coordination with host nations, other donors, and international partners in the fight against HIV/AIDS. The Emergency Plan has pursued initiatives to further cooperation among headquarters organizations and, even more critically, at the country level where HIV/AIDS services are being delivered.
The "Three Ones"
U.S. collaboration with key organizations includes a close partnership with the consortium of 10 United Nations agencies making up the Joint United Nations Program on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS). The Emergency Plan has built on a long-standing effort by UNAIDS to establish principles for cooperation that make use of the comparative advantages of international partners and maximize resources by allowing for different but coordinated approaches to combat the pandemic.
In April 2004, OGAC, working with UNAIDS, the World Bank, and the U.K. Department for International Development (DfID), organized and co-chaired a major international conference in Washington for major donors and national partners to consider and adopt key principles for supporting coordinated country-driven action against HIV/AIDS. These principles became known as the "Three Ones" - one national plan, one national coordinating authority, and one national monitoring and evaluation system in each of the host countries in which organizations work. Rather than mandating that all contributors do the same things in the same ways, the Three Ones facilitate complementary and efficient action in support of host nations. Inherent in the principles is the shared recognition of the urgent need for action that supports inclusive national ownership and clear accountability.
In a historic global agreement, all major stakeholders and donors, including the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, endorsed these principles and committed themselves to their country-level implementation. The support of the United States and the United Kingdom were instrumental in bringing the agreement about, and the respective U.S.-U.K. national efforts remain central to its implementation.
UNAIDS is working with the United States and other partners to produce regular progress reports about the implementation of the Three Ones that will highlight success stories and address those countries that have not fully put the principles into practice. The first results matrix should be completed in early 2005.
As part of U.S. implementation efforts, U.S. missions in the Emergency Plan focus countries now include progress reports on coordination efforts in all country operational plans. Field staff recognize that the Three Ones are especially relevant for those countries where the United States has substantially increased its HIV/AIDS assistance. OGAC has urged all posts to work with host governments to facilitate, where they do not already exist, the creation of inclusive national AIDS authorities and to adopt national strategies in collaboration with donors and civil society groups.
All 15 of the Emergency Plan focus countries now have such national authorities. A crucial role still remains, however, for the United States, UNAIDS, and other donors to play in contributing to a national AIDS authority's ability to set priorities and policies and in helping it monitor progress fully, inclusively, and transparently. The United States has set an example in this regard by supporting broad partnership forums where all stakeholders, including people living with AIDS, can participate in the work of the national AIDS coordinating authority.
Monitoring and evaluation is also an area where donor coordination is essential. There can be no real accountability without solid monitoring and evaluation; at the same time, multiple and duplicative reporting requirements can overburden those entities already struggling to meet HIV/AIDS service needs. The Three Ones provided renewed impetus to ongoing efforts to standardize monitoring and program evaluation activities.
Under the principle of one agreed country-level monitoring and evaluation system, the United States is committed to supporting national efforts to establish a single functional data collection and analysis system at the country level that meets the needs of both donors and program implementers. Discussed in more detail in chapter 9 ("Improving Accountability and Programming"), the United States is helping national institutions build capacity to track, monitor, and evaluate results while also working to streamline national and international indicators to improve systems for assessing progress against the HIV/AIDS pandemic and minimizing management and reporting burdens for host nations. Major accomplish- ments in 2004 included developing plans with WHO, UNAIDS, and the Global Fund for 1) the creation of joint monitoring and evaluation systems in 2005; 2) the establishment of a central technical support body for monitoring and evaluation; 3) jointly developed estimation methods and data release dates; and 4) coordinated evaluation plans.
Strengthening International Partnerships
The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria
Multilateral organizations such as the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria play vital roles in the fight against the HIV/AIDS pandemic, organizing across countries and sectors to create innovative financing mechanisms, pool expertise, and serve special populations and needs. The United States was instrumental in the creation of the Global Fund, with President Bush making its founding pledge. Collaboration with the Fund is underlined in the Emergency Plan's strategy.
The United States leads the world in contributions to the Fund, with $1.08 billion in contributions as of January 30, 2005, and has pledged a total of $2.12 billion from the inception of the Fund through 2008 (with cumulative contributions not to exceed 33 percent of total contributions to the Fund, beginning in fiscal year 2004). The United States accounts for 35.6 percent of total pledges and 32.5 percent of contributions to the Fund as of February 2, 2005.
In January 2003, then U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Tommy Thompson was elected Chairman of the Fund's Board, giving the United States special leadership responsibility through April 2005. Secretary Thompson traveled throughout the world on behalf of the Fund, enlisting and engaging governments, the private sector, and nongovernmental organizations to support the Fund's efforts to combat the global pandemic.
The launch of the Emergency Plan and the congressionally mandated 33 percent cap on U.S. Global Fund contributions have been important catalysts to encourage other donors to increase financial support for the Fund. That cap requires that cumulative U.S. contributions through 2008 never exceed 33 percent of total contributions to the Fund, beginning in fiscal year 2004. As of July 31, the date set by Congress for annual "snapshots" to determine the allowable level of U.S. contributions, other donors had only contributed enough for the United States to contribute $427 million of the total $547 million appropriated for 2004. As a result, the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator, Ambassador Randall L. Tobias, decided to extend the deadline for an additional two months, giving the Global Fund additional time to raise the resources necessary to draw down the $547 million appropriated for 2004. Together with Secretary Thompson, Ambassador Tobias contacted the Group of Eight and other donors to urge that they accelerate and increase their contributions to allow the maximum possible amount from the United States. The Fund also made direct high-level approaches to leaders such as U.K. Prime Minister Tony Blair. Even private citizens got involved, contributing nearly a million dollars, in amounts from a few dollars to many thousands.
As a result of these efforts, during this two-month grace period the Fund received additional contributions totaling $67 million, allowing a final fiscal year 2004 U.S. contribution of $459 million. Although the United States was not able to make its maximum allowable pledge, the momentum generated by this challenge generated an additional $67 million for the Global Fund from other donors, and $33 million from the United States, for a total of $100 million that the Fund might not otherwise have received.
As the Global Fund has matured, Emergency Plan support has been important in extending the reach of its projects to 130 countries and amassing billions of dollars in pledges and contributions. As with bilateral U.S. efforts under the Emergency Plan, accountability in implementing local efforts is key to the Fund's success and the foundation upon which the Fund was conceived. Much of the United States' work with the Fund in fiscal year 2004 has therefore focused on supporting the Fund in being true to this founding principle. In addition, the United States and the Fund have identified important ways to coordinate and strengthen U.S. bilateral efforts and Fund activities.
In coordination with Fund staff, the United States has continued its long-term efforts to improve the Fund's capacity to monitor program performance and results. In October 2004, Emergency Plan and Global Fund staff jointly developed a monitoring and evaluation toolkit for use by both programs, which will assist the Fund in making performance-based decisions on grant renewals. In addition, the United States helped design an early warning system to alert Fund partners, both bilateral and multilateral, when grant performance appears to be faltering. Of top priority in 2005 will be devising better means for partners to provide effective targeted assistance to improve such grants. Such program monitoring and response mechanisms will become increasingly important as the Global Fund prepares to launch a fifth round of grant proposals in March 2005, with Board approval of proposals slated for September 2005.
In June 2004, the Fund's Board approved nearly $1 billion in funding for the first two years of operations of a fourth round of Global Fund grants. As mandated by the Emergency Plan's authorizing legislation, the United States is also required to conduct a parallel technical review of Global Fund grant proposals. Fiscal year 2004 was the first year in which this provision was required, carried out through the establishment of a U.S. interagency task force comprising both headquarters and field staff from dozens of countries implementing HIV/AIDS programs. The interagency team's independent review of each Fund project resulted in the contribution of U.S. technical expertise and field knowledge to strengthen grant agreements. Numerous concerns were identified, including potential overlap of Fund and U.S. programs in several countries. Recommendations were made and submitted to the Fund's Board for approval. In many instances these suggested changes were incorporated in the final grant agreements.
Given potential overlap indicated by grants in Emergency Plan focus countries, including Tanzania, Ethiopia, and Kenya, the United States intensified efforts to identify such overlap in coordination with Fund staff and adjust grants accordingly. Coordination efforts have been improved by increasing membership and participation by U.S. personnel within the Global Fund's country coordinating mechanisms (CCMs), which coordinate and oversee the implementation of Fund projects.
The United States has also used its seat on the Global Fund's Board to maximize the participation of civil society within CCMs, in particular with the addition in 2004 of a requirement that CCMs must include representatives of people living with the diseases. In several countries where capacity is very limited, local U.S. personnel have also provided assistance to help the CCMs function more effectively.
The World Health Organization
The United States works closely with the World Health Organization (WHO) to support the implementation of evidence-based policies and sound management, including implementation within its "3 by 5" initiative. WHO provides technical leadership and has a critical role to play in establishing norms and standards for a wide range of areas within the international public health response to HIV/AIDS. As a member state with considerable expertise in HIV/AIDS, the United States has been intimately involved in formulating HIV/AIDS-related policy and guidelines, actively participating in the World Health Assembly - where Emergency Plan policy often informs the discussion -- and partnering with WHO and host countries to adapt and implement such policies.
Specific collaborations in fiscal year 2004 included developing recommendations for the expansion of HIV testing -- an important component of combating the disease with an emphasis on integrating HIV testing services into routine clinical care. Collaborations with WHO also resulted in significant advances in policy and action regarding medical transmission, including injection and blood safety. For example, the United States supported First Annual Report to Congress WHO in providing technical assistance to countries developing national blood safety plans. As a result, some countries, including Tanzania, are close to achieving a nearly 100 percent HIV-free blood supply. The United States and WHO also worked together to formulate strategies for joint TB/HIV activities at the international, national and subnational levels. In June and September 2004, the United States, WHO, and other partners sponsored TB/HIV surveillance meetings in which nine focus countries (Botswana, C�te d'Ivoire, Ethiopia, Haiti, Kenya, Mozambique, South Africa, Tanzania, and Zambia) developed plans for improved TB/HIV surveillance. The Emergency Plan now supports ongoing technical assistance for plan implementation.
Human capacity development is a major priority for both the Emergency Plan and WHO. Preliminary discussions early in fiscal year 2004 have now led to coordinated activities to provide the training and technical assistance necessary to provide sustained responses to national epidemics. In countries such as Mozambique, the Emergency Plan and WHO are jointly conducting comprehensive human capacity development assessments to identify specific strategies to address long-term human resource needs. Collaborations on building capacity in the area of strategic information have been particularly successful, making considerable progress in achieving standard definitions and reporting on HIV/AIDS-related activities.
Building on its strong international alliances in the fight against AIDS, the United States will increasingly put such cooperation to work in the rapid expansion of prevention, care, and treatment services worldwide, promoting the adoption of established best practices across all areas of bilateral and multilateral action.
Partnering with Other Bilateral Donors
The United States has partnered closely with other donor nations to pursue joint strategies on HIV/AIDS. In November 2003, President Bush and U.K. Prime Minister Blair, with Ambassador Tobias present, launched a Special Joint Task Force on HIV/AIDS to strengthen cooperative efforts in five African countries severely affected by HIV/AIDS - Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, Nigeria, and Zambia. The Task Force was established to focus and reinforce bilateral efforts in these countries, enlisting other donors and host governments as well. Coordinated U.S.-U.K. cooperation is targeted to expanding prevention activities, providing wide access to care and treatment, and building a skilled force of health care workers, with a focus on the comparative strengths of each nation in its international HIV/AIDS programming.
Another important donor with whom the United States collaborates on the country level is the Netherlands. In September 2003, President Bush and Dutch Prime Minister Balkenende agreed to cooperate in HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment and care in countries where both the Netherlands and United States had significant bilateral programs. These nations currently include Ghana, Zambia, Rwanda, and Ethiopia. The cooperation agreement was a first step in a joint initiative between two of the world's largest donors for HIV/AIDS and contributed to the impetus for substantial increases in the Dutch international contribution to the fight against the HIV/AIDS pandemic. U.S.-Dutch field collaboration includes working together in:
Key Challenges and Future Directions
As in its bilateral programs, the Emergency Plan has made it a priority to avoid wasteful duplication or counterproductive effort in its multilateral programs with fellow donors and international organizations. Just as accountability is a fundamental principle of Emergency Plan strategy, the world community must insist on the greatest possible degree of accountability for each dollar spent by all donors. And just as the Emergency Plan commits to supporting, strengthening and expanding the work of national governments and community organizations, the world community must continue to deepen local ownership and sustainability of programs by reinforcing national strategies.

Margaret Thatcher story made into a XXX movie, titled 'The Iron Lady Garden'
Oh, that's a genius name for a movie!! Warning one photo NSFW! TORY bosses are spitting feathers after Margaret Thatcher was turned into a HARDCORE PORN star.
X-rated movie The Iron Lady Garden sees Rebecca More – aka Aggie Snatcher – bonking her way to the top job at 10 Downing Street. And while Lady Thatcher, 86, was a "Marmite" Prime Minister – who the British public either loved or hated – saucy Rebecca, 27, takes it up the Marmite MOTORWAY in explicit bum-love scenes! The top flick, created by Television X, has been called "highly offensive" by some Conservatives. But 35F porn star Rebecca says she LOVED playing the notorious baroness. She explained: "I had such a fabulous time making this and playing Aggie Snatcher. "It is quite a controversial part to play in a porno – which is just why I wanted to do it!"
The lavish film was shot at swanky 33 Portland Place in central London, in the same rooms used on Oscar-winning blockbuster The King's Speech. In it, A ggie is seen reading from her diary, saying: "One's life has been a series of sexual encounters – dominating men who are weak to my advances." And it even takes on Lady Thatcher's infamous 1990 speech in Parliament, when she shouted 'No, no, no!' to calls to hand over power to Europe. Aggie says: "To every man I learned to say, 'Yes, yes, yes!'" A stunned and angry official spokesman for the Tories said they would not be able to comment on the "highly offensive" material. And last night, a spokesman for the Margaret Thatcher Foundation was also too irate to comment, and failed to respond to our emails.

With smooth roots and a center-part, Isla Fisher adds mega-volume to her wavy strands.
Styling Tip
Step 1: Apply a handful of volumizing mousse onto towel-dried hair. Blow dry two-inch sections at a time using a large round brush to lift slightly at the root for volume.
Step 2: Spritz the lower part of a one-inch section with styling spray loosely wrap it around a large curling iron. Hold for a few seconds to set, release and repeat all over curling front sections away from face.
Step 3: Run your fingers through your hair to break up the curls and coax fullness. Spritz with hairspray for the perfect finish.

Tuesday's double fatal shooting in downtown Greenville raises questions on how the suspected gunman will be charged.
Pitt County District Attorney Clark Everett says in a situation where a gunman shoots a target other than their intended victim, the shooter can be charged with an array of offenses. Everett says the scenario is called transferred intent.
Depending on the details of the crime, the suspect can be charged with anything from first degree murder to involuntary manslaughter.
Greenville police are looking 32 year-old James Richardson in the deaths of ECU student, 21 year-old Landon Blackley, and the manager of the 5th street Michaelangelos Pizza, 28 year-old Andrew Kirby.

Families of inmates are the focus of a scam in Hernando County.
The Hernando County Sheriff's Office warned the public of the scam on Monday.
Deputies say callers make promises to get the inmates into treatment programs in exchange for money.
In one case, a relative of an inmate says she was directed to purchase a credit card, then call a phone number and provide the credit card number to a person she believed to be a jail official.
However, her relative never left the Hernando County Detention Center and her card was depleted of money.
Officials say they are investigating the case and warn other relatives not to believe such claims.

Renewable Energy
By: Erin Hunt |
Renewable Energy is energy derived from resources that are regenerative or for all practical purposes cannot be depleted. Sources such the sun and the wind, can never be exhausted and therefore called renewable. They cause fewer emissions and are available locally. Their use can, to a large extent, reduce chemical, radioactive and thermal pollution. They are a viable source of clean and limitless energy. These are the non-conventional sources of energy. Most of the renewable sources of energy are fairly non-polluting and considered clean except for biomass, a renewable source, is a major polluter indoors.

Play safe with the help of Renewable Energy

Prices of oil and natural gas have risen at the same time electricity is no longer chipper. If we compare Renewable Energy from wind and solar powered alternatives with available energy of oil and natural gas then no longer look so costly. Global warming, a long-range phenomenon, may not be uppermost in people's minds during an economic downturn. Alternate energy may be costly now but will reduced to zero prices for the manufactures, so the costumer will get benefit from that also

April 30, 2016
Dozens of retired North Carolina judges are giving up their time to return to the courtroom as substitutes who fill in when full-time judges call in sick.
The News & Observer of Raleigh reported Tuesday that the state Legislature cut the budget for the Administrative Office of the Courts by 6 percent this year. That shaved $30 million from salaries and training for judges, prosecutors and clerks. Emergency judges stopped receiving the $400 a day they used to get.
So 44 retired judges have agreed to come back to the bench to work for free.
If not for the volunteers, most districts would have to cancel court sessions at the last minute, turning away citizens who expected to deal with their speeding ticket or divorce that day.

Announcement of Public Comment Period:
Draft Technical Support Document on Proposed Public Health Goals for Bromate, Lead, Pentachlorophenol, and Trichloroethylene in Drinking Water
The Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) of the California Environmental Protection Agency is announcing the availability of draft technical support documents for proposed Public Health Goals (PHGs) for bromate, lead, pentachlorophenol, and trichloroethylene in drinking water. The draft document on bromate is a new risk assessment, while the draft documents on the other three chemicals are updates of existing PHGs for these chemicals. The draft documents are posted on the OEHHA Web site (www.oehha.ca.gov). OEHHA is soliciting comments on the draft reports during a 45-day comment period. The Office will also hold a public workshop on September 11, 2008 at the Elihu Harris Building, 1515 Clay Street, Oakland, 94612, Room 11, 10 a.m.-12 noon, or until business is concluded. OEHHA follows the requirements set forth in Health and Safety Code Sections 57003(a) and 116365 for conducting the workshop and receiving public input.
The workshop is provided to encourage a dialogue between OEHHA scientists and the public, to discuss the scientific basis of the proposed PHGs, and to receive comments. Following the workshop, OEHHA will evaluate all the comments received, revise the documents as appropriate, and make them available for another 30-day comment period. After any subsequent revisions, the final documents will be posted on our Web site along with responses to the major comments from the public at the workshop and during the public review and scientific comment periods.
Oral and written comments received at the workshop will be considered during the revision of the draft technical support documents. Written comments must be received at the OEHHA address below by 5:00 p.m. on September 11, 2008 to be considered during this revision period for the documents. The PHG technical support documents provide information on the health effects of contaminants in drinking water. The PHG is a level of drinking water contaminant at which adverse health effects are not expected to occur from a lifetime of exposure. The California Safe Drinking Water Act of 1996 (Health and Safety Code Section 116365), amended 1999, requires OEHHA to develop PHGs based exclusively on public health considerations. PHGs published by OEHHA will be considered by the California Department of Health Services in setting drinking water standards (Maximum Contaminant Levels, or MCLs).
If you would like to receive further information on this announcement or have questions, please contact our office at (510) 622-3170 or the address below.
