AIDS in Latin America
Macmillan, Sep 1, 2005 - Business & Economics - 261 pages
In this revealing book, the first to give a complete account of how the AIDS epidemic has affected our neighbors to the South, Timothy Frasca uncovers the enormous cultural changes which have taken place throughout Latin America as a result of the disease. He brings issues such as sexuality, class, and religious beliefs into the open for the first time. Compelling interviews with activists, people with AIDS, government leaders, and church leaders--all show how the epidemic has developed. Frasca draws lessons from Latin America and the strong activist involvement that succeeded in increasing government resources to fight the disease. Tragic tales and gripping narratives are intermixed with the first set of comprehensive epidemic statistics from the continent, eagerly awaited by the World Health community.

Nate Chapman '14 – Since taking English 218 with Dr. Herzog spring semester freshman year, I have maintained a passionate interest in Romantic era poetry. In fact, the class served as one of the main factors that led me to strongly consider, and eventually become an English major. Not only did the class put me on the path to my major, but it also instilled in me a desire to visit the Lake District, which served as home to William Wordsworth, as well as inspiration for many of the Romantic poets. I finally satisfied that desire.
After a long night (or perhaps an early morning describes it more adequately) out on a pub crawl through Brighton with Sussex staff, I awoke at 6 am and began waking up my group for the trip. We departed Falmer Station at 7:26am and began our journey northwest. We arrived in Windermere later that day, ate some lunch, and immediately began searching for activities. The tourist center had plenty of advice to offer, and next thing we knew, we were headed up a trail to a peak with an amazing view of Windermere. The pictures certainly don't do the region's beauty justice. It's easy to see how so many famous poets became inspired by it.
From there we left Windermere and headed to Keswick for some dinner and to find our hostel. We woke early the next morning with intentions of climbing Latrigg, a mountain that proved much more difficult to hike than the one from the previous day. After that we rode the bus to Grasmere to visit Dove Cottage, one of the homes of William Wordsworth, as well as to see where he is buried. Experiencing Grasmere brought about a sort of surreal feeling, seeing these sites in person after learning about them so long ago. From there we did a little more site seeing before making our way back to Oxenholme station and traveling home.
Though visiting the Lake District brought about a feeling of accomplishment for finally seeing it in person, it also left me wanting to return. Hopefully I will get the opportunity to visit again sometime. For anyone interested in Wordsworth, the poem of choice seems to be I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud, but my favorite is Ode on Intimations of Immortality From Recollections Of Early Childhood.

Home Opinion Editorials Councilor Pope lets down constituents
Councilor Pope lets down constituents
Almost two years ago, 2,448 Baker City voters picked Milo Pope to represent them.
On Tuesday evening Pope let them down.
He failed to attend the regularly scheduled City Council meeting.
Not because he was out of town or otherwise unavailable.
By his own admission, Pope, who's an attorney, chose instead to attend a private gathering at his law office.
Pope also acknowledged, in a telephone interview with the Herald, that he regrets his decision.
He said he hasn't made a habit of missing Council meetings, nor does he intend to.
We'll take Pope at his word.As a whole, his attendance record as a councilor has been commendable.
Since he was sworn in in January 2009, Pope has missed seven of 54 meetings, including his absence Tuesday.
And he had good reason to miss three of those seven — this past winter while he was recovering from heart bypass surgery.
Nonetheless, Pope has an obligation to his six fellow councilors and to his constituents, including those who didn't vote for him in the November 2008 election, to make the two monthly Council meetings his top priority, and to tailor his personal schedule accordingly.
We're optimistic about the situation at City Hall after 15 months of occasional discord.
The City Council voted unanimously to hire Mike Kee as city manager. Councilors also agreed to give Kee an employment contract, a break with the city's long-standing tradition for its managers.
The only thing missing Tuesday night was Pope, who helped draft that contract, raising his hand when the vote was called.

If I were a beer – "I'd want a hiker lost in the woods [to drink me]… coming across an abandoned campsite where someone had left behind a cooler with a beer remaining in it. I could be his last beer before he died of exposure later that night."
Inspiration for new beers – "Drinking. There are so many fantastic beers out there and I like to figure out their recipe just by taste. After I believe I have figured it out, I tweak it in ways that would improve that beer. The best ideas for beer come when you are slightly intoxicated."
Most unique ingredient used in beer – "Little Debbie strawberry shortcakes. And it wasn't that bad."
Favorite part of the brew process – "The mash. It smells awesome and it's fun to pull."
If I were a piece of brewery equipment – " I'd be the kettle…On the outside we're both smooth and shiny, but underneath that we are both vessels for a tumultuous and transformative process that if not properly monitored may result in the expulsion of a fountain of burning liquid."

National Instruments And Prolucid Put Green Energy On The Canadian Grid
AUSTIN, Texas, April 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- National Instruments (Nasdaq: NATI) has partnered with Prolucid LocalGrid Technologies Inc. (LocalGrid™) to build the next-generation energy management system for Toronto Hydro-Electric System Limited. Funded by nearly $2.5 million in grants from Canada's ecoENERGY Innovation Initiative and Ontario's Smart Grid Fund, the project takes advantage of distributed intelligence technology to manage renewable energy generated by the community onto the power grid. In addition to allowing for increased generation capacity, thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions, the integrated platform can improve reliability and efficiency across the electric power system. (Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130422/DA98845)"The electrical grid will be radically transformed over the next 10 years, moving from a centralized model of power generation and distribution to a less capital-intensive local or MicroGrid model," said Bob Leigh, president and CEO of LocalGrid. "This is driven in part by the introduction of distributed renewable sources of generation. Our technology allows renewables that are currently blocked to come online without costly infrastructure investment." The LocalGrid solution addresses an unexpected challenge created by clean energy incentives. Due to the country's vast size, cold climate and expansive economy, Canada has one of the highest rates of per capita energy consumption in the world. To promote conservation and efficiency, the federal and provincial governments provide rebates to households and businesses for renewable energy installations. In some areas, the boom in solar panels and wind turbines actually generate more power than the existing infrastructure can handle, resulting in valuable electricity being wasted. Toronto Hydro, the largest municipal electric utility in Canada, is working with LocalGrid to develop a distributed approach for managing generation without requiring expensive new power lines or capital equipment. LocalGrid's software uses CompactRIO devices installed on the grid to control and monitor community generation sources. "We are using CompactRIO because of its combination of advanced analytics and processing power, in a rugged, flexible, field-deployable system, at the right price point," said Leigh. "A distributed energy management system must have flexibility, modularity and reliability at the core of the design so that it can grow with the needs of utilities for years to come."

General Questions
I don't want SiteCTRL to add an attribution link when I copy and paste. What can I do?
Click HERE to opt out.
After applying the OPT OUT the attribution link still appears after a copy and paste.
Refresh your browser settings by clearing your cache or applying a hard refresh.
What is SiteCTRL? The short version…
SiteCTRL allows you to track your site's user engagement through copy & paste activity. Your site's traffic and social footprint gets boosted through an automatic link that's added to your pasted content whether it is shared privately (e.g. email) or publicly (e.g. Facebook).
Do people really copy content?
Our stats show that between 2 and 6% of page views result in some kind of user action that SiteCTRL can track. Example: If your website has 20 million pageviews per month, then content most likely leaves your site over 1 million times per month. Wouldn't you want to know what content gets copied and how often it leaves to help site optimization?
How does SiteCTRL drive web traffic?
When someone copies and pastes text from your website, SiteCTRL automatically adds a link back to the original article with the paste. When the recipient clicks that URL, they are directed back to the original content. This drives incremental traffic to your site when your content is shared while maintaining a consistent user experience.
How much does SiteCTRL cost?
SiteCTRL is FREE.
What about user privacy?
SiteCTRL is a strong advocate of protecting user privacy and does not collect any information that can personally identify a user (e.g., name, address, phone number, etc.). It addition, SiteCTRL follows industry best practices for user notice and choice options as recommended by the Network Advertising Initiative and the Digital Advertising Alliance. Please see our privacy policy for more information.
Can I use SiteCTRL with my blog?
You can use it with some blog sites. For more information visit our Installation Guide for Blogs page.
Does SiteCTRL work with Wordpress?
SiteCTRL supports self-hosted versions of Wordpress. You can either place the code directly in Wordpress or use a convenient plug-in like EasyTynt or TyntInsights for Wordpress. See the installation guide for details.
My site does not have SiteCTRL, but why do I see requests going to tynt.com when I look in my developer tools?
We work with a number of analytic partners, helping them collect data regarding user engagement on their sites. If you have one of our partner's analytic widgets installed, you may see traffic go back to tynt.com.
RevCTRL Questions
How do the ad units work?
The ad units are triggered by social, search, retargeting, and other contextual signals to monetize your incremental traffic. RevCTRL does not conflict with your direct sales initiatives.
How can I install the ads?
The ads are easy to install. There are two different ways you can get started.
- If you already have the standard SiteCTRL (formerly called Tynt) code on your site, no additional implementation or page redesign is necessary. Simply complete the Ad Configuration set-up under the Monetization Tab in your dashboard.
- The 33Across Ad Tag can also be trafficked in DFP as a 1x1 or off-page ad position. If you would to use this configuration, you will need to remove the SiteCTRL (Tynt) code from your site. Please contact your account representative for additional information on this configuration.
How do I get paid?
33Across will make payment within 45 days following the end of the month in which 33Across receives payment from the advertiser.
Technical Questions
How do I access my SiteCTRL and RevCTRL analytics?
Once you set up a 33Across account you can access your dashboard reports by logging in at 33across.com.
How often do my 33Across stats analytics update?
All stats update at least once per day, and some (for example the Keyword Report) update hourly.
Can I use SiteCTRL to monitor my blog?
It depends. If your blog platform allows access to HTML (e.g. Wordpress), you can use the SiteCTRL tools. Many of our users use Blogspot, WordPress, Blogger, Typepad, Squarespace and others, so if you have questions please get in touch (firstname.lastname@example.com).
Does SiteCTRL change my users&rasquo; experience on my site?
If you use the Copy&Paste product and have enabled the Attribution Link feature, a user will see the attribution link back to the original content when they paste content copied from your site. In addition, our SpeedShare product includes a small widget that appears when a user copies content – this helps facilitate content sharing to social networks like Facebook and Twitter.
Does the SiteCTRL identifier code (e.g. #ixzz123456) impact my SEO?
The tag allows us to uniquely identify a user copy and provides analytics via the Publisher Tools Dashboard. SiteCTRL uses a hashtag (#) because search engines ignore all characters after it. This ensures that the links are not viewed as duplicate content and there is no negative SEO impact.
How big is the payload for my SiteCTRL script?
Approximately 12kb.
What user actions does SiteCTRL measure?
SiteCTRL is designed to measure user engagement in a completely new way. Currently, SiteCTRL monitors:
- Text/image copy activity
- Generated links
- Generated traffic
- Inbound and outbound keywords
- Most engaging content
- Social sharing
How can I block SiteCTRL from monitoring my actions?
Click HERE to opt out.
Can the automatically generated attribution link be deleted by a user?
Yes, a user can remove the automatically generated attribution link. You cannot prevent a user from sharing your content, but using the automatic attribution link increases your chances of getting credit for the copy. The automatic link provides an effortless step for users to link back to your content and is often left in place which has a positive impact on your search engine ranking.
I have multiple domains that I want to track. Do I have to create a separate account for each?
SiteCTRL tracks and summarizes data on a per account basis. Not to worry, if you have multiple domains and would like to see the data separately, we recommend setting up accounts for each domain using the Account Rollup feature.
How does SiteCTRL track image copies?
SiteCTRL currently tracks when a user copies an image by either using the Ctrl-C or right-click copy commands. The SpeedShare product also allows for easy sharing to Pinterest and tracks those shares.
Does SiteCTRL work with Google Analytics?
SiteCTRL runs along with Google Analytics on a large percentage of our sites without any reported problems.

Agree we may not be seeing Bautista's true capability, and he might well be better than his results suggest.
Just like ANY of the satellite guys, AB isn't getting the same crack of the whip that the 4 'aliens' do. Even with his 'factory' bike he's got to set-up his Showa stuff on his own, which makes his job a lot harder.
AB might be a lot more competitive if he had the same suspension (plus all the mountains of data available to all the Ohlins runners) - we just can't know whether his boingy bits are as good or not at any given circuit - the odds are that he is at a disadvantage to Bradl equipment & data / set-up-wise.

Scientists develop flying "robo-bees" to pollinate flowers as bee populations decline
Posted By Timon Singh On March 11, 2013 @ 5:25 pm In biomimicry,Botanical,Design,Green Technology,Innovation | 17 Comments
Honey bee populations around the world are in decline due to causes ranging from "super mites [1]" to Colony Collapse Disorder [2] (CCD) and even cell phones [3]—and if these insects disappear completely, the entire planet's ecosystems would be in peril. The issue has become so dire that now a team of Harvard and Northeastern University scientists are working on a swarm of miniature Robobee [4] robots that could pollinate flowers and do the job of real bees, if required.
Speaking to Scientific American [5], the team leaders said: "In 2009 the three of us began to seriously consider what it would take to create a robotic bee colony. We wondered if mechanical bees could replicate not just an individual's behavior but the unique behavior that emerges out of interactions among thousands of bees. We have now created the first RoboBees—flying bee-size robots—and are working on methods to make thousands of them cooperate like a real hive."
The biomimicking [6] scheme, also known as the Micro Air Vehicles Project [4], aims to "push advances in miniature robotics and the design of compact high-energy power sources; spur innovations in ultra-low-power computing and electronic "smart" sensors; and refine coordination algorithms to manage multiple, independent machines".
Okay, but what does that mean in layman's terms? Well, by coordinating large numbers of small, agile robots to mimic the physical and behavioral robustness of insect groups, the program could direct a swarm of robots to accomplish tasks faster more reliably, and more efficiently than a single unit.
Not only could they be used to pollinate flowers (in theory), but they could also be used for search and rescue, hazardous environment exploration (such as a nuclear disaster sites), high-resolution weather and climate mapping and traffic monitoring. Here's hoping we never need them for the job that their real-life counterparts provide.

Decorum over the handling of cellphones, iPads and other wireless devices at public meetings is stirring controversy as they become the primary communication tool of council members, county commissioners and legislators.
Many public officials say their smartphones and iPads are needed to quickly research issues and keep in touch with constituents. Others think it is rude and inappropriate to be surfing the Web and checking e-mails during a meeting.
For the most part, citizens and the ones they elect follow common courtesy when it comes to shutting off or muting a chirping phone.
"Most folks are aware of their cellphones, and they turn it off during meetings," Aurora Mayor Steve Hogan said. "I don't think I've made a verbal reminder to tell public to mute their phone in quite a while."
However, the Regional Transportation District board of directors is piecing together written guidelines for the use of cellphones and other wireless devices during public meetings, an issue most public boards and councils haven't bothered to tackle.
"It's not a problem, until it is a problem," said Rachel Allen, staff attorney for the Colorado Municipal League.
Some lawmakers in 2009 complained that former state Republican chair Dick Wadhams was instructing GOP legislators on how to vote on key bills via e-mails or texts during meetings. Wadhams called the allegations "crazy" and led former Democratic Sen. Evie Hudak to declare she would not put down her device during meetings.
"I guess you are going to have to pry my BlackBerry out of my cold, dead hands," she said.
Recently, RTD board members have been admonished for using their cellphones during public hearings.
That prompted a board member — former chair Lorraine Anderson — to angrily walk out of a subcommittee meeting after being told she to had to turn off her phone "as a sign of respect to the audience" by subcommittee chair Claudia Folska.
Anderson said she needed her cellphone to access the night's consolidated agenda, adding that other board members do the same with their iPads.
Anderson has apologized, saying she meant no disrespect to the audience, to those making a presentation to the board or to her colleagues.
"I just felt bad not being able to control my temper," Anderson said.
Still, she said, she needs her phone to research items coming up for discussion.
"If the conversation is wandering all over the place, I want to look ahead and see what's coming up and be prepared for that," she said.
Many cities now provide iPads to their council members for use during public meetings, and the devices are seen as essential tools, Allen said.
"A lot of communication now is all electronic," she said, adding most cities don't have hard and fast rules about the use of cellphones and other devices.
Former Aurora Mayor Ed Tauer would head off any potential cellphone interruptions by telling the audience that if their phones went off during a public meeting, they must contribute $5 to a charity jar in the council chambers.
An RTD survey earlier this month found that of 16 transit agencies that responded, only four either have policies in place or are considering policies dealing with smartphones and other devices during board meetings. RTD also surveyed area city councils.
Denver City Councilman Charlie Brown told RTD that the City Council needs a written policy, saying that the use of devices during council sessions is "plain rude to our audience and possibly a violation of the open-meetings law," because the conversation is not being shared publicly.
The Boulder City Council, meanwhile, told RTD that it began banning the use of electronic devices in January after "concerns were raised that some council members appeared to be reading from private e-mail messages while proposing new amendments during contentious debates."
Texting is prohibited in the state Senate chambers and in all other official meetings, while the state House has no formal rules, according to the RTD survey.
RTD board chair Chuck Sisk — also a former mayor — said the agency's policies do not need to be draconian. It probably will allow devices and cellphones as long as they are not a distraction and will ask that cellphones be turned off or muted during a meeting.
"Really, it's just a matter of common sense," Sisk said. "Going back to the old paper-calender days is just not going to happen since we are awash with technology now."
"Honestly," Sisk added, "we are all adults, and we should be responsive to our public and our staff."
Denver Post reporter Lynn Bartels contributed to this report.

Ok everyone, if any of you can help me here, it would be great!
I used to commute from Mountain View, now I have to commute from San Jose. I live in San Mateo.
Here is my old commute from Mountain View:
I would like to hook up with the same roads, I don't know the City of San Jose that well to come up with a good way to those roads from my office. I was thinking Homestead would be one of the roads to get to Foothill.
Anyway, my office is at 40 S Market St, San Jose, CA 95113 (Basically the corner of Market and Santa Clara).
Here is something, I came up with:

How do I keep my son from putting his hands in his diapers?
My 14 month old son constantly has his hands in his pants. I have tried keeping him dressed on onsies and pants/shorts, but he just sits down and sticks his hands up the leg. It has become a real issue because he continues to do this even when he has pooped and gets it all over himself and his surroundings!!!!! "No," isn't working.... neither is removing his hands, or smacking his hands. Ugh!!!! Advice is appreciated.

I had the exact same problem. I Googled around and found people recommending putting their child in a cold shower. I didn't have the heart to do that, but my toddler hated even a warm shower. So I very gently put him in the warm shower. I kept repeating, "you play poop you take shower!" After doing this two times, he never played with his poop again! It didn't traumatize him either because now that he is older and doesn't play with his poop, I tried getting him used to a warm shower and he is fine with it.posted 06/30/2012 by Jill_W

Bergen County Executive Kathleen Donovan announced Tuesday the county has created a consumer fraud task force to look inspect work being done by contractors working on home repairs in the wake of Superstorm Sandy.
The task force will be headed by Bergen County Police Capt. Victor F. Cuttitta Jr. and it will include staff from the county's Consumer Affairs office and the Office of Consumer Protection. They will cover the entire county but especially areas of Moonachie and Little Ferry that were flooded during the storm.
Residents with questions can call Consumer Affairs at 201-336-6413 or Consumer Protection at 201-336-6400.
County officials also offered the following advice to residents to help avoid home repair scams:
-Never give your credit card number or financial information to strangers over the phone or on the Internet.
-Call Consumer Affairs to find out if the home improvement contractor you are considering is registered and if there are any complaints against that individual or his company.
-It is customary not to pay for the entire home improvement project in advance. Pay one-third beforehand, one-third halfway through and one-third upon completion.
-If the contractor is offering to do electrical work, call the Board of Examiners of Electrical Contractors to ensure that he or she is licensed to do such work.
-If the contractor is offering plumbing services, call the State Board of Examiners of Master Plumbers to ensure that he or she is properly licensed.

text: Home Politics President Obama: What Drives His Black Critics? L.Z. Granderson, writing at CNN, looks at the history of invectives that Cornel West and Tavis Smiley have hurled at President Obama since his first election. Granderson determines that their egos are bruised because Obama failed to kiss their rings before entering the White House. By: L.Z. Granderson Posted: July 25 2013 4:23 PM 0 Cornel West; Tavis Smiley (Karen Bleier/AFP/Getty Images) When President Barack Obama failed to kiss the rings of scholar Cornel West and talk-show host Tavis Smiley in 2008 before entering the White House, he unwittingly touched off a series of invectives from the duo, L.Z. Granderson writes at CNN. ... When Obama didn't accept the invitation to speak at [Tavis] Smiley's forum in 2008, Smiley interpreted it as an affront to his influence in the black community. When Obama opted not to attend in 2009 -- although he did address the crowd via video conference -- that was the proverbial final straw. Smiley and [Cornel] West have been aggressively attacking the president, sandwiching legitimate concerns about poverty in between over-the-top comments that far too often detract from what they claim is their primary focus -- helping poor black people. Their comments may grab headlines and land them on Sunday morning talk shows, but how have they engaged with the administration in finding solutions on poverty? Instead, Smiley and West appear to be two egocentric men who believe they alone are the face of black intellectualism. And any black talking heads who don't side with them have, in West's words, "sold their souls." Welcome to the ivory tower version of black on black crime. Again, I'm all for fairly criticizing the man in the White House. But it feels that West and Smiley are more upset that Obama didn't kiss their rings before he walked through the door than about anything he's done since he got inside. Read L.Z. Granderson's entire piece at CNN.

Cold temperatures kept electricians and heating and air conditioning techs busy on Tuesday.
Companies such as Wilson Hodges Electrical Contracting say they were called out to Christ Presbyterian Church in Winterville because their heating system didn't kick in when the temperatures dipped overnight.
Area homeowners were experiencing similar problems.
Howard Vainright, a Greenville resident, called Sam Pollard and Sons to see if they could get his furnace working.
That's not all these technicians encountered today.
Heating and air specialist Doug Pierce says, "We've seen a lot of things here lately, people just need to service their equipment. Dirty filters will cause heating problems, causing the chambers to crack."
Heating technician Walt Pollard adds that, "A whole lot of freezing pipes. People finding out they don't have water, people finding out they don't have hot water...Hot water is apt to freeze quicker than cold water and that's been a big problem we've seen a lot of."
Experts say insulating pipes can help. If that fails, sometimes pulling out a hair dryer to blow hot air on the pipes is another solution.

The State Ports Authority has had an informal conference with the State Labor Department over a fine for an accident in Morehead City.
Thursday was the deadline for the authority to decide whether it would appeal, request the conference or pay the $2750 fine for the January 12th haz-mat accident.
Spokeswoman Shannon Moody says they met with OSHA and reviewed training records with them. She said they are waiting a decision.
In May, the ports authority was given one serious violation when nine containers of the explosive material PETN leaked at the port.
The citation says first responders at the port did not have sufficient training or experience to act as a site control coordinator for spills or leaks

Why do we suffer? Why do bad things seem to happen to good people? Is God punishing me because I sinned? You and I are confronted by these questions every day. When a tragedy occurs, we try to comfort those who are suffering, but we often stumble over what to say. The Bible has long been a source of comfort, but what exactly does it teach about suffering? Can it help us learn how to cope with tragedy while offering comfort to others? The Bible does talk about suffering—quite extensively. The book of Job is an extended reflection on suffering: why it happens, what we can know about it, and where we should draw our comfort. The New Testament is replete with teaching on suffering, tragedies, and death. All of these teachings point us to Christ, our Savior and only comfort. We have hope in the gospel, and we can confidently say with Job "For I know that my redeemer lives"!
This eight-part study is divided into three sections. Lessons 1–3 lay the groundwork for how we are to understand suffering. They examine the reality of suffering and its causes and give us the categories and framework for doing so. Lessons 4–7 look at responses to suffering using the book of Job as a case study. Finally, Lesson 8 provides a guide for helping those who are suffering. The centrality of the gospel is highlighted as the basis for our hope and comfort.

Pros: It's a switch, it comes with rackmount ears, and it doesn't use much power.
Cons: The blinkenlights and network connections are at the front, and the power cable goes in at the back. That makes routing of cables cumbersome.

text: Divine Skin Creme or DSP really is miraculous Feb 15, 2008 6:00:11 GMT -5 Quote Select PostDeselect PostLink to PostMemberGive GiftBack to Top Post by sonje123 on Feb 15, 2008 6:00:11 GMT -5 Every time I read a story of a sufferer I want so badly to tell them about DSP creme. It was created by a fellow sufferer who is a compassionate man who hated seeing people devastated by these horrific sores. I only wish I had found his product earlier. My had spread to the head and was so deeply ingrained that I ended up in the emergency room. I was sure my beautiful skin was lost. Then I found the Divine Skin creme. Oh my God. It really really works. I have sensitive skin and it has never burned or caused me any problems. you can use it in the nose, ears, privates and all over the body. If you put it on the spot as soon as it starts to itch or turn red, it will make it disappear within hours. DSP helps tremendously with the itch. The strings hate it, so they come out. It smells nice and I think it is a real bargain price-wise. I do not have connections to the maker of DSP, Marc Neumann, other than as a very happy and very thankful customer. Please tell others who are terrified about losing their skin before it is too late. I know how panicked and scared I was when it was working on the face. I found DSP just in the nick of time. If I'd found sooner, i would have been saved a lot of agony. Thank you Marc for all your hard work and for this heavenly product. :)http://www.s-m-g.org/dsp/us/

Texts You Can Believe In
Forget robo-calls—Obama's text messages are this campaign's secret weapon.
Not much is known about the specifics of Obama's text-messaging operation (the campaign did not respond to my request for comment). We do know that the campaign compiled its list of cell numbers in two main ways. First, the campaign has requested mobile numbers of new voters at registration drives. Then, late in the summer, the Obama camp got a huge haul of mobile numbers through a clever gimmick surrounding Obama's V.P. pick—if you texted the campaign, Obama promised to text you back as soon as he'd made his choice.
I joined Obama's text list around that time. (I would have joined McCain's text message list as well, but he doesn't have one.) Since then, I've received two or three messages a week from the Obama campaign. A typical one: "Help Barack. Tell your friends & family the last day to register to vote in CA is this Monday, Oct 20th! Visit VoteForChange.com to register NOW. Please forward."
The texts reminded me to watch the convention and the debates and to donate money to the Red Cross when Hurricane Gustav hit. In September, Obama asked me to text him my ZIP code. I did, and now I get location-specific messages—alerts to phone banks and debate-watching parties in my area, reminders of registration deadlines in my state, and appeals for me to volunteer in neighboring states. The messages are rendered in a friendly, professional tone (they refer to the candidate as Barack) and have been free of both fundraising appeals and any kind of negative campaigning.
The beauty of text messaging is that it is both automated and personalized. This is true of e-mail, too, but given the flood of messages you get each day (no small amount from Obama), you're probably more attuned to ignoring e-mail. Text messages show up on a device that you carry with you all day long—and because you probably get only a handful of them each day, you're likely to read each one.
This is especially true when the message seems to have been tailored to you specifically—Obama's often are. The campaign knows a lot about me: At the least, it knows that I live in California, and because I joined the text-message list in order to learn the V.P. pick, that I'm fairly interested in politics (and therefore likely to vote). It's possible that they might know even more; given my ZIP code and my phone number, they could potentially have tied my text-message account to my voter registration file, allowing the campaign to send me messages based on my party registration, whether I usually vote by mail, and whether I sometimes forget to vote. (It doesn't appear that the campaign knows what's in my registration file, though; I'm registered as a permanent absentee voter, but the campaign hasn't asked me to mail in my ballot yet.)
Because text messages allow for such precise targeting, it seems likely that over the next week the Obama campaign will direct its appeals to voters in battleground states, especially first-time voters that the campaign has registered during the past year. In 2006, political science grad students Aaron Strauss and Allison Dale studied how newly registered voters responded to text-message reminders sent out just before the election. The text messages increased turnout by 3.1 percentage points. Strauss says there's a simple reason why: "The most prevalent excuse for registered voters who don't cast a ballot is, 'I'm too busy' or 'I forgot.' Texting someone is a convenient, targeted, and noticeable reminder for them to schedule their Election Day activities with a block of time set aside for going to the polling place." In a post-election survey, Strauss and Dale asked voters whether they found the text messages helpful; 59 percent said yes.
Obama's campaign seems to know these lessons well. During the primaries, the campaign sent out multiple messages to supporters during Election Day; they'll do the same next week. There's some question about whether text messages will continue to be effective beyond this election—if telemarketing companies can get ahold of our cell numbers and we get barraged by political spam, text-based mobilization efforts may eventually become as useless as robo-calls. At the moment, though, we're in thrall to our cell phones—and when Obama texts you next Tuesday, you'll have a hard time saying no.

Author Salman Rushdie says that India needs to ask itself why it's becoming a culturally intolerant country that bans books and movies that offend some people.
Rushdie was talking to CNN-IBN news channel about "Vishwaroopam," a Tamil language film recently banned in the southern state of Tamil Nadu after Muslim groups said it was offensive to Islam.
Rushdie said in the interview shown Thursday that India needed to ask itself why it was "so easy in this society to shut things down."
Rushdie had to cancel his appearance at a literary festival in India last year amid protests and threats linked to his book "The Satanic Verses," which some Muslims consider blasphemous. The book is banned in India, where Rushdie was born.
