Photo of person handing out a condomToday, more tools than ever are available to prevent HIV. In addition to limiting your number of sexual partners, never sharing needles, and using condoms correctly and consistently, you may be able to take advantage of newer biomedical options such as pre-exposure and post-exposure prophylaxis.
Choose less risky sexual behaviors, limit your number of sex partners, use condoms, use medicines to prevent HIV if appropriate, and get checked for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). The more of these actions you take, the safer you can be.
Specifically, you can:
Avoid having your partner ejaculate in your mouth, and use barriers such as condoms, natural rubber latex sheets, dental dams, or cut-open non-lubricated condoms between your mouth and your partners' genitals.
Oral sex involves giving or receiving oral stimulation to the penis (fellatio), the vagina (cunnilingus), or the anus (anilingus or rimming). Most types of oral sex carry little to no risk of HIV. Your highest oral sex risk is performing oral sex (fellatio) with ejaculation in your mouth. However, the risk is still low, and much lower than anal or vaginal sex. Factors that may increase the risk of transmitting HIV through oral sex are oral ulcers, bleeding gums, genital sores, and the presence of other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) (which may or may not be visible).
The risk is lower if the partner with HIV is taking antiretroviral therapy (ART) consistently and correctly, and if the partner who is HIV-negative is taking pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) consistently and correctly. Condoms and HIV medicines can greatly lower the risk of transmitting HIV.
Keep in mind that barrier methods are the only way to protect you from some STDs, including gonorrhea of the throat. And although the chance of getting or transmitting HIV from anilingus (rimming) is small, there is a big chance of transmitting hepatitis A and B, parasites, and other bacteria to the partner who is doing the rimming. There are effective vaccines that protect against hepatitis A and B and human papillomavirus infections. Talk to your health care provider to see if these are right for you, if you have not already been vaccinated.
For more information, see Oral Sex and HIV Risk.
When used correctly and consistently, condoms are highly effective in preventing HIV infection.
Condoms are also effective at preventing sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) transmitted through body fluids, like gonorrhea, chlamydia, and HIV. However, they provide less protection against STDs spread through skin-to-skin contact like human papillomavirus (genital warts), genital herpes, and syphilis.
There are two types of condoms: male and female.
Although highly effective when used consistently and correctly, there is still a chance of getting HIV if you only use condoms, so adding other prevention methods can further reduce your risk (see "How Can I Prevent Getting HIV From Anal or Vaginal Sex?").
Yes, because lubricants can help prevent condoms from breaking.
Water-based and silicon-based lubricants are safe to use with latex condoms. Oil-based lubricants and products containing oil, such as hand lotion, Vaseline, or Crisco should not be used with latex condoms. It is safe to use any kind of lubricant with nitrile female condoms.
Male circumcision reduces the risk that a man will get HIV from an infected female partner, and also lowers the risk of other sexually transmitted infections (STIs), penile cancer, and infant urinary tract infection. Studies have not consistently shown that it prevents HIV among men who have sex with men. Circumcision is only partly effective and should be used with other prevention measures. Men who are considering circumcision should weigh its risks and costs against its potential benefits.
Pre-exposure prophylaxis, or PrEP, can lower the risk of getting HIV by taking a pill every day. It is for people who do not have HIV but who are at substantial risk of getting it.
CDC recommends that PrEP be considered for people who are HIV-negative and at substantial risk for HIV.
For sexual transmission, this includes anyone who is in an ongoing relationship with an HIV-positive partner. It also includes anyone who 1) is not in a mutually monogamous* relationship with a partner who recently tested HIV-negative, and 2) is
For people who inject drugs, this includes those who have injected illicit drugs in the past 6 months and who have shared equipment or been in drug treatment for injection drug use in the past 6 months.
For heterosexual couples where one partner has HIV and the other does not, PrEP is one of several options to protect the uninfected partner during conception and pregnancy.
People who use PrEP must be willing to take the drug every day and to return to their provider every 3 months for a repeat HIV test, prescription refills, and follow-up.
Some people on PrEP may have side effects like an upset stomach or loss of appetite but these are mild and usually go away in the first month.
* Mutually monogamous means that you and your partner only have sex with each other and do not have sex outside the relationship.
Yes. Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is medicine that can prevent HIV after a possible exposure if started within 3 days.
An example of a possible exposure is if you have anal or vaginal sex without a condom with someone who is HIV-positive or whose HIV status you don't know. You take PEP for 4 weeks if you may have been recently exposed to HIV and are not on PrEP. PEP keeps HIV from making copies of itself and turning into infection. To be effective, PEP must begin as soon as possible, but always within 72 hours (3 days) of a possible exposure. Keep in mind that PEP should only be used in situations right after a potential exposure. PEP is not intended for long-term use. It is not a substitute for other proven HIV prevention methods, such as correct and consistent condom use.
You should continue to use condoms with sex partners while taking PEP. If you have repeated exposures to HIV, you should consider PrEP.
No. There is currently no vaccine that will prevent HIV infection or treat those who have it.
No. Microbicides are gels, films, or suppositories that can kill or neutralize viruses and bacteria. Researchers are studying both vaginal and rectal microbicides to see if they can prevent sexual transmission of HIV, but none are currently available for use.
Specifically, you can:
Get tested and treated for STDs and encourage your partners to do the same. If you are sexually active, get tested at least once a year. STDs can have long-term health consequences. They can also increase the chance of getting HIV or transmitting it to others. Find an STD testing site.
If you believe you cannot stop injecting drugs yet, use only sterile injection equipment and water, never share injection equipment, and use medicines to prevent HIV if appropriate. The more of these actions you take, the safer you can be.
Injecting drugs, including hormones, steroids, or silicone, can transmit HIV directly through needles or equipment (works). In addition, some drugs, such as methamphetamine, cocaine, or alcohol, may put you at risk for HIV by lowering your inhibitions and making you more likely to engage in risky behavior.
The best way to reduce your risk of HIV is to stop using drugs. If you cannot stop using drugs, talk with your doctor or health care provider, counselor, loved one, or someone else you trust about getting into a treatment program. Find a treatment facility near you or call 1-800-662-HELP (1-800-662-4357).
If you are injecting drugs and believe you cannot stop using yet, here are some other ways to reduce your risk of getting HIV or spreading it to others:
These steps, promoted in prevention programs for substance users, have helped decrease the new cases of HIV resulting from injection drug use in recent years.
One additional prevention note: If you are likely to be in a situation where alcohol and other kinds of drugs will be used, have a condom with you in case you have sex.
If you are living with HIV, you can greatly lower your risk of transmitting HIV to your baby by taking antiretroviral therapy (ART) during pregnancy, labor, and delivery; having a C-section; and avoiding breastfeeding.
Get tested for HIV when you are planning a pregnancy or as soon as possible after you find out you are pregnant.
If you are HIV-negative but your partner has HIV, ask your health care provider about pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), a daily pill that can prevent HIV during conception and pregnancy. Encourage your partner to get and stay on treatment with antiretroviral therapy, which greatly reduces the chance that he will pass HIV to you.
If you are living with HIV, the right prevention steps can lower your risk of giving HIV to your baby from 20% (no prevention steps) to 2% (if you receive ART during pregnancy, labor, and delivery; have your baby by cesarean, or C-section; and avoid breastfeeding). Newborn babies born to HIV-infected mothers are also given medicine to protect them.
You should be tested again in your third trimester if you engage in behaviors that put you at risk for HIV.
Of course, some women do not find out they have HIV until they are already in labor. But if they receive ART during labor and delivery and avoid breastfeeding, the chance of passing the infection to the baby can still be significantly decreased. For more information, see CDC's "HIV Among Pregnant Women, Infants, and Children."

Early voting under way
Early voting began Tuesday at the Gillespie County Courthouse, and there was "steady" turnout preceding the March 4 political primary elections.
Gillespie County Clerk Mary Lynn Rusche, who also is on this year's ballot, said first-day totals were 95 Republicans and 17 Democrats.
Including mail-in requests, the county has recorded 501 Republicans and 21 Democratic ballots turned in.
"We weren't overrun, but there was a steady turnout of voters throughout the day," Rusche said.
Voters were greeted by activists holding signs, some supporting local candidates and others advocating turnover of sitting office-holders.
Voters who have not yet made their selections can learn more about state and federal candidates in this week's League of Women Voters Voter's Guide, inside the Feb. 19, 20014 edition of the Standard-Radio Post.

Committee of Public Safety
The Committee of Public Safety was a post-French Revolution faction that gained near dictatorial control over France during the Reign of Terror. Established on 6 April 1793, it was not intended to have dictatorial powers as it was reapproved every month by the Convention. However after 2 June of that year, when the Girondins were forcibly removed from power, the CPS became the tools of the Jacobins and later Maximilien de Robespierre who joined on 27 July 1793.
On 4 December 1793, the law of Frimaire established revolutionary government. The CPS was granted full control over ministers and generals, foreign policy and the Terror. Despite providing a stable government for France and ending the anarchy of the Revolution, rejected the principles of the 1789 Revolution. 1594 people were executed in Paris during the period from 10 June 1794 to 27 July, also known as the Great Terror. After the fall of Robespierre, in which the CPS played a minor role, many of its members joined the Thermidorians who moved the politics of the Revolution away from the extreme left and towards the center, unwittingly preparing France for Napoleon Bonaparte to take over.

I'm such a dork
A couple months ago, the press team for the Charm City Devils asked me to talk a little bit about their album for a YouTube video about the band.
This was the first time I'd done anything like this, and I laughed out loud at myself when I saw my quotes. Not only do I look like a dork, but I look like a fat dork with a bad haircut. For the record, I only weigh 162 -- the camera appears to have added 40 pounds!

Rios: we'd lose to Syria cuz of Teh Ghey!!!
Timothy Kincaid
September 11th, 2013
Sandy Rios, one the Right's more dense opinionators, has now weighed in on why an attack on Syria is a bad idea. It's cuz John Kerry's a liar and cuz, well, cuz of TEH GHEYYYYY!!!: (Raw Story)
"There's a second reason and that is military readiness," she continued. "When I looked at those battleships going into the Mediterranean, supposedly getting ready for battle in Syria, I couldn't help think about all the stories I've read about how women now are in the ranks of the Navy, getting pregnant at exponential numbers."
"When I think about the folding in and the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell and the homosexual takeover, really, of our military," Rios added, "I'm not sure how effective those naval ships will be."
Poor delusional Sandy. And I bet you a nickel that you could never get her to understand the inherent bigotry, superiority, and hatred in that absurd statement.

RISMEDIA, June 30, 2011—With winter weather creeping in, landlords should be aware of exactly what their landlord insurance policy covers.
Many building owners could be surprised at what costly items are not covered in a standard policy, especially with high fire hazard months ahead. Residential fires are more prevalent in winter months than in spring or summer months, according to the U.S. Fire Administration. A residential fire can completely destroy a structure and all of its contents, which may not be covered by a policy.
LandlordInsurance.net points out some costly items that may not be insured under a policy.
Fires in homes increase in colder months mainly due to the higher number of cooking and heating fires. Heating a home becomes more expensive in the winter so people turn to their fireplaces, wood stoves, space heaters and other cheaper alternatives to common utilities. Although these can be a good option, they do come with risks that are preventable. Safety precautions must be taken to avoid residential fires.
However, accidents do happen and policies vary from company to company. Many property owners would think that their landlord insurance policy would cover the financial damages from a fire. A basic policy will likely cover the building itself, whether it is a house, apartment, duplex, townhouse, quad, condominium (condo), vacation rental or other dwelling. But usually the contents within the building musbe insured under a separate section.
In addition to the structure, any personal contents that are provided by the building owner for use by the renters should be covered by liability protection. The landlord contents insurance can have a limited or full contents policy. Limited contents policies are generally used for unfurnished or partly furnished properties and will typically cover items such as light fixtures and fittings, curtains, carpets and appliances. Regardless if the unit is sparsely furnished with such items, an owner should consider liability coverage in case of injury to tenants or guests caused by defective cookers, lighting fixtures, or stairs. If there was an incident, the compensation of the claim would be substantial.

Almost half a century after he was assassinated, John F Kennedy still has no trouble drawing a crowd.

Identifying hard truths on class and union disputes... and knowing when to die and when not to wave your wallet
America's so-called royal family was said to have got it cancelled – but after a brief period in television limbo, a controversial mini-series charting the life of the Kennedys has found a new home.
Exactly 50 years ago, 20 January 1961, John F. Kennedy was sworn in as President of the United States of America.
Tate Modern's current exhibition offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of voyeurism and surveillance.
There are some dates in history that are repeated time and again, producing an odd synergy. For example, the 23rd November is the date on which John F. Kennedy was assasinated in 1963; it was the date British prime minister Margaret Thatcher ended her premiership in 1990; and it was the date on which Angela Merkel became the first ever female Chancellor of Germany in 2005.

They arrived from every corner of the country. They were from men women and children, of every race, age, class and calling. Half a century on, they have come to life again, expressing Americans' grief, shock and collective sense of bereavement at the news of John F Kennedy's assassination.

San Diego Biotech Companies Fear Prop 8
Timothy Kincaid
October 29th, 2008
According to San Diego Union-Tribune, 22 executives of biotech companies in the San Diego area are seeking to get their trade organization to officially oppose Proposition 8. They fear that Massachusetts could steal away valuable researchers and highly skilled employees, appealing to their desire to live in a more tolerant environment.
"Our industry is vitally important to San Diego and we cannot allow other states become more appealing to our talented work force," the executives said. "In today's economy we cannot afford to lose the potential of a single job or company."
Sadly, the appeal may be too late. The board of Biocom has already met on endorsements and did not take a polition on any propositions. However, a board member did indicate that Prop 8 is not welcomed by their industry.
"We are working at the cutting edge of biomedical knowledge and we should be as open-minded as possible," Xanthopoulos said. "Biotechnology companies are supposed to be agile, flexible, creative, innovative and committed to thinking out of the box. All these things don't line up with Proposition 8. They are exactly to the contrary."

in Garden design
Hi there,
I am looking for some ideas for what to put in a lovely wooden trelis planter box I have just been given. I wanted to place in on a SW facing wall, under my kitchen window, (so climb must be no higher than 3ft). Hopefully year round interest, hardy, fool proof and with very little shelter. I was hoping for a camelia or rhodo, (something I presume won't grow well in my neutral soil)
Any ideas?
I am a little confused, are you looking for a climber. Are you planning on using ericaceous compost?
I would go for lavender and an annual climbers morning glory? Or an evergreen clematis-freckles?
Well if it is showy you want, did you see this.
The planter box will restrict the size of whatever you grow in it. Sounds like you would like to grow a Camelia or Rhodo. I have both growing in planters - the rhodo's been in for over 20 years and still looks magnificent every March/April. The camelia's about 8 years old and this year flowered from late March and has only just stopped. I repot them about every 5 years. They both like shade at some point in the day and need to be kept moist, especially at the roots. I feed them once during flowering and once in the Autumn with an ericaceous feed - oh and they like spent coffee grains. While they are both evergreen, the flowering periods aren't that long. I too would recommend Clematis Freckles, but there are other small clematis you can grow this site gives them by height so could be worth a look http://www.taylorsclematis.co.uk/
My MIL has a lovely yellow azalea in a pot thats been thriving for years. We planted it in 50:50 ericaceous compost and john innes, and she only ever waters it with rainwater to keep the acidity up. She also feeds it with miracle grow every year both before and after flowering and occasionally gives the leaves a spritz with half-strength tomato food. It flowers forever. Cant remember what variety it is... I chose it for her because yellow was so unusual to find. Its now about 1m height and spread.


text: For all of us who acquire too much stuff Mar 13, 2012 12:50:29 GMT -5 Quote Select PostDeselect PostLink to PostBack to Top Post by dayeanu on Mar 13, 2012 12:50:29 GMT -5 For all of us who are inclined to acquire too much stuff--The thread entitled "Does less stuff = cleaner/less disorder" really got me thinking. takeonestepatatime.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=17513. As Howardsgirlfriend wrote on that thread:Mar 11, 2012, 1:52pm, howardsgirlfriend wrote:"Less stuff does not automatically lead to the cleanliness and order you seek, but having way too much stuff guarantees you won't be able to have it. Getting rid of the excess gives you the potential. It's so much easier to keep your place clean when tidying up doesn't feel like working one of those sliding-number puzzles." (emphasis mine)I think it's pretty clear that having less stuff is key to getting out of squalor, clutter or whatever your problem is. But for those of us who are inclined to acquire too much, it's easier said than done.While thinking about some of the posts on various other threads here (and while unpacking 17 boxes of my own hoard last night), I have come up with an idea.How about if we accept a challenge, or make a pact, that before we buy ANYTHING other than the bare necessities, we post HERE first. Maybe if there is a question about whether it's a bare necessity, or just to post and say, "I want to buy xyz," and read the responses before you do.This would give us a time lag - we have to post - and wait for responses - before we make the decision to buy or not to buy.Also, I'm thinking that some of my purchases might look pretty silly, even to me, if I saw it in writing and asking "what do you all think."We could also post our successes --- "I went to the store today, and all I bought was xy."and our failures, "I bought abc because . . . "This would also certainly apply to free aquisitions.I think if nothing else, it would gradually raise our awareness of our shopping habits, our thoughts that lead to our purchases, and possible triggers that make us more inclined to acquireThis could be an "Aquiring Accountability" thread. (LOL - AA - well, it is pretty much an addiction!Is anyone interested?(If there is already a thread like this, please let me know.)

On Thursday 9 December, the Chronicles of Narnia released the third movie in the series: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.
Lucy and Edmund Pevensie return to Narnia with their cousin Eustace where they meet up with Prince Caspian for a trip across the sea aboard the royal ship The Dawn Treader. Along the way they encounter dragons, dwarves, merfolk, and a band of lost warriors before reaching the edge of the world.
[Source: imdb.com]
At the end of the movie (without spoiling it for those who haven't seen it) Aslan makes his appearance before the two Pevensie children, Caspian, Eustace and Reepicheep. And in the closing scene in the land of Narnia, Aslan explains to Edmund and Lucy that they now share the same fate as Peter and Susan (unable to re enter Narnia). However, to comfort Lucy, Aslan reveals that, "in your world, I have another name. You must learn to know me by it." To Christians around the world this heavily pregnant with explicit Christian undertones; especially when reflecting on CS Lewis' comments on the character of Aslan in Narnia,
"The whole Narnian story is about Christ… [Aslan] is an invention giving an imaginary answer to the question: 'What might Christ become like if there really were a world like Narnia?'"
Aslan is the Turkish word for lion. But when you consider the imagery of Aslan's sacrifice in the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, and his resurrection; then add to that Aslan's final words in the Voyage of the Dawn Treader, the idea that Aslan is a type of Christ does not seem so far fetched. The thought-provoking challenge by Aslan in the latest Narnia movie leaves viewers wondering, ' What is Aslan's other name?' In our world, it is implied, the alternative Aslan is well known and quite possibly a familiar name, even if the connection to the great lion is not obvious at first. Especially at this time of year, when even Asda are selling the Virgin Mary costumes (Baby Jesus doll included), the name Jesus is reminding people of the man who sacrificed himself and was resurrection. The challenge is know this version of Aslan in our world, to know Jesus.

Important Considerations
Please read this page carefully — the Green Tortoise cannot be responsible (nor can we wait) for any passengers who get delayed at the border because of missing or improper papers.
Passport, Visas, and Red Tape:
The international borders we cross are usually not a problem, provided that everybody has their necessary papers in order. Getting these papers in advance is easy much easier than at the border at 3:00 AM when the consulate is closed.
The United States border:
Everyone, including U.S. citizens, must present a valid passport to re-enter the United States. You may be even required to present a multi-entry visa or a plane ticket out of the country. Be prepared! The Green Tortoise cannot be responsible (nor can we wait) for any passengers who get delayed at the border because of missing or improper papers. Please contact the respective consulates to be certain that you can obtain travel papers BEFORE you make a reservation. We do not refund deposits due to bureaucratic errors.
This trip will require you to organize your own transportation to and from Cancun. Once you have booked with us, we will send you a thorough information package to help you plan and pack for this expedition. We highly recommend Exito Travel for airline tickets (see "Weblinks" on the left) at 1.800.655.4053 or 510.655.2154 (ask for Emma).
The People and their Country:
Mexico has incredibly friendly locals steeped in a unique and rich history. Many people will go out of their way to help visitors or just to strike up friendly conversation. You will find the cultural experience very rewarding with participation, respect, and common sense.
Camping Out:
We will be camping out quite a bit on these trips and we do not provide tents. As such, we highly encourage people to bring a small, easy-to-assemble tent. Not only do they provide privacy and sanctuary when in the great outdoors, but also protection from elements such as wind and sand.
Why Green Tortoise?
You may be thinking, The place is beautiful, the locals are friendly, why don't I pack a bag and do it on my own? This is possible and thousands do it every year. However, by traveling with us, you can leave the hassles of public buses, car rentals, and lodging details behind. We have been running these tours for more than 30 years, and our experience provides you with a greater knowledge of the country, an increased level of security, and, most importantly, access to destinations, people, and experiences that you might never find on your own!

The Only Negotiating Guide You'll Ever Need (2003) (Table of Contents)
Peter B. Stark and Jane Flaherty
In The Only Negotiating Guide You'll Ever Need, Peter Stark and Jane Flaherty, celebrated consultants to some of the country's top companies, take the dread out of persuasion. Their 101 Winning Tactics make powerful negotiating skills easy and accessible, giving you tools and knowledge you can put to use right away. Each tactic is on a single page, with a clever and memorable name, a true-to-life example of how to use it, and suggested counter tactics in case someone tries it on you. All 101 tactics are so accessible and empowering that you will find yourself using them immediately--and maybe not just at work.
The Organized Lawyer (2009) (Table of Contents)
Kelly Lynn Anders
On a regular basis, attorneys are sanctioned for many misdeeds that can be traced back to disorganization. Examples include commingling of funds, failure to produce records to opposing counsel, late court filings, being inaccessible to clients, and seeming ill-prepared to represent clients during hearings. Just the thought of all the responsibilities lawyers need to handle can be overwhelming. How does one do so and remain organized?
There's more than one way to be organized, but you wouldn't know it from most books and television shows. Many offer valuable tips and tools, but they often fail to address our differences. We all have a particular organizational style that impacts how we view our things, live with them, and keep them organized--or disorganized. What works for some does not work for others.
Like good organizational skills, the creation and practice of law are a process.

Practicing Law in Small-Town America (2012) (Table of Contents)
Richard L. Hermann
Small-Town America is not what it used to be. The transportation and communications revolutions have spread the advantages and amenities of big cities into less populous regions--and in many cases, these regions are still very much underserved by the legal community. Moreover, housing is affordable, commuting to and from work is a non-issue, and school have fewer problems than their urban counterparts.
Practicing Law in Small-Town America, in three distinct and thorough parts, paints a picture of what small-town practice is like in its rich diversity, examines how local practitioners got to where they are, and details what an aspiring small-town lawyer needs to know and do in order to locate in--or relocate to--a small community. The book includes: Setting the Small-Town Practice Scene; Defining "Small-Town America?"; What's Different About Small Towns?; How Small-Town American and Law Practice Has Changed; Small-Town Practitioner Profiles; Many Diverse Types of Practice; Tradeoffs; Where to Locate; and What to Do When You Get There.
The book also includes appendices on what's out there, a small-town due diligence checklist, best and worst places to relocate, additional information sources and a thorough bibliography, and an in-depth look at the history of one of the representative towns featured in the book, Canandaigua, New York. Practicing Law in Small-Town America show you how to find and understand the factors--economic, social, demographic, political, legislative, technological, historical, domestic and international--that will impact your law practice and life.

The Retirement Nightmare (2000) (Table of Contents)
Diane G. Armstrong, Ph.D.
After working hard to build your nest egg, you are finally making plans for your retirement year. But will you be free to make your own choices when those golden years finally arrive? Or will you fall victim to ruinously expensive involuntary conservatorship/guardianship proceedings and be stripped of your rights, your money, your independence—for the rest of your life?
In an ominous trend that threatens America's successfully aging population, state judges are imposing an increasing number of unwanted conservators and guardians upon allegedly incompetent men and women to manage their property and personal affairs. The results are grim. In New York alone, judges appointed over 32,000 guardianships during 1997, up from 15,000 in 1992, and Michigan's guardianship petitions have more than quadrupled since 1981.
These little-known state laws were originally created to safeguard the rights of "infants and lunatics." Today, involuntary conservatorship and guardianship laws are being used by calculating heirs to seize control of their parents' assets and by protectors in the social welfare community to control the vulnerable elderly themselves. And who is "elderly"? to be declared incompetent on the basis of age you only have to be 62.Drawing on sadly typical cases from courtrooms across America, Dr. Armstrong shows how competent elders can be victimized by arbitrary conservatorships and guardianships. She describes the historical roots of our codes and shows how they function in today's courts, highlighting concepts that are problematic and suggesting appropriate changes. Dr. Armstrong summarizes every state's conservatorship/guardianship statutes and provides contact numbers for national services, legal organizations, state offices of aging, and other resources for the elderly. Most importantly, her breakthrough book gives YOU the tools you will need to protect yourself or someone you love when your retirement years usher in the real threat of predatory litigation.

Jean Nouvel Unveils Sustainably-Designed National Museum of Qatar
Posted By Bridgette Meinhold On March 24, 2010 @ 1:22 pm In Architecture,Green Building | 1 Comment
Yesterday the Qatar Museum Authority [1] and Jean Nouvel [2] (Pritzker Prize [3]-winning architect) unveiled plans for the new National Museum of Qatar. The cultural center is inspired by the desert architecture [4] and lives of the Bedouin culture as well as a deep-seated respect for the hot desert climate. The new museum will be the first monument travelers see from the airport and the sustainable design of the complex and surrounding landscapes will help prove Qatar [5] to be a forward-looking country.
From above, the arrangement of the 430,000 square foot sustainably-designed museum [7] suggests a caravanserai, which is a traditional enclosed marketplace that supported commerce and people who were moving across the desert [8]. Nouvel's design is made up of a series of interlocking disks with cavities inside buffered from the hot desert sun. The new museum will be built around a historic structure, the Fariq Al Salatah Palace, but will have new exhibitions and provide a better understanding of the life in the Gulf region. Inside there will be multiple cafes and shops as well as research centers, laboratories and offices.
Outside there is a 1.2 million sq foot landscaped park [9] that interprets the Qatari desert landscape and is specifically designed for the hot desert sun. It includes "native grasses and indigenous plants, such as pomegranate trees, date palms, herbs and the Sidra tree, the national tree of Qatar." The entire complex will seek LEED Silver [10] certification, relying mostly on traditional building practices to create shady and cool areas with thermal buffer zones. The interlocking disks of the building will provide deep overhangs for outdoor promenades and minimize the transmission of heat into the interior spaces. Steel and concrete will be the main building materials, both of which will be sourced locally.
