January, 1996
There are 8 to 5 odds in Las Vegas that ritonavir will be approved by the FDA by June 1996. And while there are no predictions from Merck about when their NDA filing for indinavir is expected, the Wall Street Journal reports that Agouron is getting nervous about its possible fourth-place showing in the protease inhibitor sweepstakes. Apparently there is some concern that the majority of AIDS patients will be on other protease inhibitor combination regimens and there may not be enough eligible patients (ie, those whose health plans will pay for multiple protease inhibitors) to justify drug development costs. The new marketing reality for antiretroviral drugs is that each new effective drug will play an important and often critical role in the new combination therapy model, but that it will now take longer to recover drug development costs.
Getting the new FDA-approved drugs cleared for the hundreds of national, state, and managed-care formularies will be as critical to the survival of people with AIDS as is new drug development. Stavudine, lamivudine, and saquinavir are already black-market commodities for PWAs in many countries. Survival with HIV disease may become a privilege for the highest bidder. We may soon be able to establish the indirect dollar value of a human life by determining the amount of money that countries, states, institutions, and health plans will or will not pay to significantly extend lives.
HIV/AIDS is finally being recognized as a disease primarily affecting the poor and disenfranchised. An increasing number of people may now be able to survive their disease with the growing armamentarium of more effective drugs. Most of these people will be white men. Unfortunately there is less hope for the tens of millions of others affected by the pandemic.
We may rail over the lack of leadership by government officials in developing policies that support the sanctity and dignity of human life, but the situation could be worse. One news story that didn't make our Caput Mortuum page in 1995 was that of the Kenyan politician who suggested that hospitals without mortuaries simply leave their dead outside the grounds for hyenas to devour. The way things are going in Washington, DC, this Kenyan cost-saving proposition could be the cornerstone of the new healthcare reform proposal for the US Congress. We can just leave the bodies of the poor out for Newt Gingrich and his minions.
This may be a dark New Year's message. But we are haunted by the myth of Tantalus, a king of Phrygia, whose punishment in the lower world for betraying the gods' secrets was to stand in the river Tartarus up to his chin, under branches of fruit. Whenever he tried to drink or eat, the water or fruit withdrew from his reach. That's where ninety-five percent of the millions of people with HIV are: seeing the fruit of effective combination antiretroviral therapies--but always out of reach. These millions of people have also been damned, not because they have revealed the secrets of the gods, but for being poor.

Bright Idea: Hanging Furniture
I often find small space solutions the most inspiring of all. There's just something so creative about taking a few restrictions and pushing through potential boundaries to brainstorm a solution that can honor both form and function. And in the case of Printerette Press' studio, one such solution is a bright idea for any apartment dweller looking to maximize their space:
Dress up a few folding chairs with a can of bold spray paint and hang them on the wall! The look feels artistic like an industrial wall installation but instead, is a highly functional furniture solution for hosting guests, co-workers, family or friends.
The best part? It's an inexpensive solution, costing far less than your typical large-scale art print or picture frame gallery. Here's to working smarter, not harder – and the transformative powers of spray paint!

Hildy Good has lived in the same small town on Boston's North Shore for all of her 60 years. She has a successful business selling real estate (though Sotheby's is gaining on her), she married and had two children with her college sweetheart (they divorced when he admitted he was gay), and she likes to drink (her children forced her to go to rehab). After rehab, Hildy started sneaking the occasional drink alone until one of her wealthy clients--a transplant from the city--turns into a drinking buddy, and Hildy becomes privy to a secret she may not be able to keep. A romance with an unlikely suitor and the possibility of the biggest sale of her career lessen Hildy's willpower. Then she must face the reality that her drinking may lead to her professional and personal ruin unless she confronts her addiction. VERDICT In Leary's third book (An Innocent, A Broad; Outtakes from a Marriage) the perils of addiction come to life. Sure to please fans of women's fiction featuring women of a certain age such as the novels of Jeanne Ray and Elizabeth Berg.

No redistribution permitted.
Hildy Good is a realtor in Wendover, the little Massachusetts town where she's lived her entire life. Smalltown life inevitably brings smalltown gossip, and Hildy is no exception: "I know pretty much everything that happens in this town. One way or another, it gets back to me." Suffering from alcoholism and marital problems, Hildy's always in search of distractions. Emboldened by a self-professed ability to read people--bordering on what she considers ESP--Hildy finds the intrigue she's been looking for when Boston hedge fund owner Brian McAllister and his wife, Rebecca, move to town. With her characteristic vigilance, Hildy soon uncovers a burgeoning affair between Rebecca and a local psychiatrist. As confidante, blackmailer, and real-estate broker to both Rebecca and Peter, the psychiatrist who rents the upstairs office, Hildy's entanglements not only threaten the lives of others but also tease out her own problems and self-delusions. In this second novel (after Outtakes from a Marriage), Leary creates a long-winded and melodramatic Peyton Place, but convincingly displays the corrosive and sometimes dire consequences of denial and overconfidence.

Undo quick format hard disk
Quick format and regular format
Before talking about how to undo disk quick format, you should know what quick format is. The most common used formatting to format a hard drive is regular format i.e. complete format and quick format. The difference between the regular format and the quick format is whether the volume will scan the bad sectors by using the CHKDSK command or not. Regular format will scan the disk for bad sectors while quick format will not.
Is it possible to undo disk quick format?
We noticed that there are many computer users who did quick format on the wrong disk and then lost files. Some did the quick format when reinstall Windows Operating System, some did the quick format by accident, some formatted the hard drive then realized there were important files on the quick formatted drive.
Is there any chance of file recovery for quick formatting? As we know quick format does not erase data, it just modifies how the disc is seen by windows. It does this by destroying the FAT table and re-writes the boot sector. Or mainly emptied the contents of the bitmap, the root directory index, and some other changes accordingly of NTFS. As the data is still there, what you need is a free data recovery software to undo disk quick format.
Please note that Whenever you realized the wrong quick format, you should stop immediately and leave the quick formatted drive alone. Never do any changes on that drive again to stop the files from overwritten.

Guilty verdicts in Mapleton elk case; former Boulder officer convicted in death and cover-up
Trophy elk shot, killed New Year's Day 2013
BOULDER, Colo - It was a killing that outraged not just a neighborhood, but an entire community.
Now, justice has been served. A jury of five men and seven women found former Boulder Police Officer Sam Carter guilty on all nine counts related to the New Year's Day 2013 killing of "Big Boy," a trophy elk in Boulder's Mapleton Hill neighborhood.
Jurors deliberated just four hours before returning their verdict.
Carter was convicted on four felonies -- one count of attempting to influence a public official; one count of forgery and two counts of tampering with physical evidence.
He was also convicted of five misdemeanor charges: official misconduct, aggravated illegal possession of wildlife, conspiracy to commit illegal possession of wildlife, hunting big game out of season and unlawful use of an electronic communication device to unlawfully take wildlife.
When asked if he will seek jail time, Boulder County District Attorney Stan Garnett said, "We haven't decided yet."
He told 7NEWS that the most important thing to his office was getting a felony conviction against Carter.
"It's very important for the public to know that if a police officer lies and uses their badge and their uniform to lie and mislead the public, we will go after them and hold them accountable and prevent them from being a police officer," Garnett said.
During closing arguments, prosecutors argued Carter shot the animal so he could mount its head on a wall as a trophy.
Carter's defense attorney argued he "euthanized" the animal because it had become too domesticated and was aggressive. He said he did it in the interest of public safety and never tried to mask his actions.
The defense also argued the state did not prove Carter had a duty to report what happened and called the investigation shoddy and completely "outcome based."
But Garnett said the case was about two things.
"It is about an amazing animal," Garnett told jurors during his closing, "and it's about the truth, and how it was handled by a police ... officer who didn't want you to know the truth."
Garnett said the wildlife of Colorado belongs to the public, not to the officer.
"No one individual has the right to say, 'I'm going to kill it, sneak it out of here and then mount it on a wall,'" he said.
Garnett said that officers can kill an elk if there is imminent danger, such as a child being trampled. That was not the case here, he said.
The DA added that after "Big Boy" was killed, Carter quickly destroyed his messages and got rid of evidence from the elk.
He said Carter held up a damaged antler and told an accomplice, former officer Brent Curnow, that the antler was broken.
Garnett told jurors that, "Curnow said, 'If we can find the broken part of the antler, I could fix it for the mount.' They knew what they were doing."
Following a plea deal last September, Curnow was given a two year deferred sentence, probation and 60 days home detention after admitting guilt to tampering with evidence and possession of wildlife with a trophy elk designation.
When asked if Curnow's testimony was important to this case, Garnett said prosecutors are cautious about putting someone on the stand who has been convicted themselves.
Carter declined comment as he was leaving the courtroom.
He will be sentenced on Aug. 29.

I agree. I have wondered why Ct. hasn't joined the other states already sueing. If this plan is so good, then why could the Democrats not even convince each other to vote yes months ago. Why were bribes needed? In my opinion, this is the most corrupt administration and Congress in history. How can they pass a law that hurts seniors, but gives a "free ride" to unions? Why are members of Congress and federal employees exempt? I am a registered Democrat, and yes, now I'm a "teabagger".
Actually Connecticuters is historically correct...even the Courant acknowledged it:
yes, Connecticuters. dont be wrong, trite and insulting all at once. you should be a pro. ask your editor next time you dont know something instead of imply things.
I know exactly what you're talking about Sam. I was a Democrat in 2008 and was drawn to Obama's promise of taking a scalpel to the federal budget. Little did I know, he was going to use said scalpel to "Frankenstein" on more horrible things to the federal budget, like this health care bill.
So, I've completely converted over to being a Libertarian. It's strange how people are so willingly giving up their financial freedoms. I think we need more people to be politically curious and aware then we currently have right now.
Great, another venue for the Schiffheads to impose their personal beliefs on the citizens of CT. They're already buzzing about it in the Schiff/Ron paul forums.
Schiff will get a ton of signatures I'm sure, but only a handful will actually live in CT. So Peter is proposing to pressure Richard Blumenthal, in his capacity as the Attorney General of the State of CT, to sue the government on behalf of people who don't live in CT?
Blumenthal took an oath to uphold the Constitution, which was created to protect our rights and limit the power of the federal government.
Healthcare is a service, not a right. By not suing the federal government over the illegal health care bill (which was written by the insurance companies), Blumenthal is violating his Constitutional oath.
The government does not have the legal authority to force one to enter into a contract with a private company. But they are doing it anyway, and Blumenthal is in support of this crime.
If career politicians actually obeyed the Constitution, the country would not be in the mess it's in today. CT has the rare opportunity of electing a true constitutionalist and patriot to office, Peter Schiff.
For those that criticize out of state support for Schiff, remember that the current senator Dodd, affected ALL Americans by assisting in the engineering of our current mess. When Schiff first proposed he was going to oust Dodd, me, and out of stater, contributed to his fund.
My support of Schiff also keeps me reading the Connecticut rags for information on the Senate race there and helps me understand the positions of Connectican's. AND I dont get to vote for him, Connecticans are in control.
"By not suing the federal government over the illegal health care bill (which was written by the insurance companies), Blumenthal is violating his Constitutional oath."
Says who? Just because you say it doesn't make it so. Most of the interpretations I have read say the bill passes constitutional muster. Your statement is simply false
Schiff is once again correct on this matter. James Madison, the father of the Constitution, said it had "few and defined powers." Not one state would have ratified the Constitution if they thought intrusions like mandating healthcare were to be possible. I really hope Schiff will win and I will do my best to make it happen.
If the healthcare bill does pass "constitutional muster" and is upheld , this will mean there is no limits on Federal authority. This will be the end of limited government in the United States. With no limits on the extent of Federal power to coerce the lives of US citizens , can the restrictions on other freedoms be far behind?
Gary, asksteve touched on something important... you need to shut your face about people not living in CT and supporting Schiff because you unleashed Dodd on this nation for decades.
Also curious, why are you (a democrat) so compelled to attacked ONE republican on every blog he's mentioned? Are you obsessed, paid, crazy, lost, confused about which primary to vote in?
You rail against non CT voters, but you're a non-republican voter who can't keep his mouth shut and has an OCD desire to bash Shiff.... you need to take some of your own medicine bro.
Without being a lawyer Gary, I'd say that the Obamacare violates the constitution in these ways:
a. 5th Amendment Takings Clause. Government can't take your crap without due process... and they're taking our money by making us buy health insurance.
b. insurance is state regulated, yet the fed used the interstate commerce clause to claim that insurance is interstate and can be regulated by the feds.
c. Article 1. Section 8 does not enumerate the powers of health care to the federal government, and the 10th amendment prevents the feds from using any powers not enumerated, and reserves the rest for the States or the People.
d. It violates the tax clauses by levying an unaportioned tax and non-excise tax.
And that's off the top of my head...
Hi Rhys, I don't need to do anything. Wow, you truly are a paragon of liberty and freedom.
And if you'll take the time to notice, I usually rail against Peter Schiff's cult members, not Peter Schiff himself.
I've clearly stated my motivation for following and commenting on Peter's anything but CT grass-roots campaign several times. Not gonna repeat myself because you don't get it.
Why don't you go find something that's YOUR business to fume about.
Gary, as a CT citizen who has supported Peter's ambitions and ideas since 2007, I can say with great certainty that you're wrong in assuming that the petition was meant for outside supporters to force a CT political figure to act on non-local interests. The reason I can claim this is because Peter maintains a healthy supporter base within Connecticut. This petition is meant for Connecticuters who understand that the health care bill is a violation of federal law, and that forcing a state to comply with it is REALLY against the law (not forgetting that it is REALLY immoral).
Also, the strategic aspect of this is pure genius - McMahon and Simmons are probably kicking their campaign managers square in the nuts for not thinking of this first!
Please donate to Peter Schiff campaign. Financial support is vital if Peter is to gain support within the republican hierachy!
Conneticut, please don't don't throw away this chance, someone of Peter's calibre, is rare in politics and if you elect him, can only bring in more like him. You have a chance for real change...here is someone speaking his truth, what he actually believes not some lobbyist funding truth!

Romans 13:8
Owe nothing to anyone—except for your obligation to love one
another (v.8).
Financial guru and radio talk show host Dave Ramsey
frequently says, "Debt is normal. Be weird." In an
age where charging purchases to a credit card and
spending beyond one's means are common practices,
Ramsey urges his listeners to "act their wage," save up,
and—other than the occasional online or phone order—
pay cash for their purchases.
To be fair and balanced, there are occasions when
incurring a debt is a legitimate option. Otherwise, Jesus
wouldn't have said, "Give to those who ask, and don't turn
away from those who want to borrow" (Matthew 5:42).
But Ramsey's point is well taken. Whenever it's possible,
living debt-free is the way to be. As the proverb says, "the
borrower is servant to the lender" (Proverbs 22:7).
Regardless of our financial state, there's one debt that
each of us owes to our fellowman. It's a debt that the apostle
Paul wrote about in his letter to the Christians in Rome. After
addressing a Christian's responsibility to civil authorities and
explaining why Christians should pay their taxes, he wrote,
"Owe nothing to anyone—except for your obligation to love
one another. If you love your neighbor, you will fulfill the
requirements of God's law" (Romans 13:8).
This was not the first time Paul urged the Christians in
Rome to show love toward each other. Just one chapter
earlier he wrote, "Love each other with genuine affection,
and take delight in honoring each other" (12:10). It's as if
Paul returned to the theme of loving our fellowman because it's such an essential
aspect of life—something that can't be stressed too much.
Loving our neighbor is an ongoing debt. It's one obligation that we could never
or should never fully repay.
—Jeff Olson
Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote, "Pay every debt as if God wrote the bill."
How will others view you if you practice this advice?
How are you doing in paying off your debts? How does it bring glory
to God for us to do so?

Ed Begley, Jr.
this wiki
(written from a Production point of view)
Ed Begley, Jr. (born 16 September 1949; age 66) is an actor from Los Angeles, California who played Henry Starling in the Star Trek: Voyager episodes "Future's End" and "Future's End, Part II".
He is one of the few people to have participated in both Star Trek and Star Wars, providing the voice of Boba Fett in the radio drama of Return of the Jedi.
Outside of Star Trek, he is best known to television audiences for his five-time Emmy Award-nominated role as Doctor Victor Ehrlich on the medical drama St. Elsewhere. Throughout its run, the series also starred Norman Lloyd, Ronny Cox, Ellen Bry, France Nuyen, Chad Allen, Deborah May, Brian Tochi, Alfre Woodard, Bruce Greenwood, David Birney and Jane Wyatt. Begley would reprise his role as Ehrlich with a cameo in the 2000 TV movie Homicide: The Movie, co-starring Michelle Forbes and Reg E. Cathey.
He also had a recurring role as "Doctor Hank Hastings" on 7th Heaven, co-starring Stephen Collins and Catherine Hicks(brother-in-law to Collins' Reverend Eric Camden), and as "Hiram Gunderson" on HBO's Six Feet Under, which featured James Cromwell in its last two seasons.
Primarily a supporting actor, he has appeared in a number of films and TV movies opposite fellow Star Trek performers. He appeared in two cult Paul Bartel comedies featuring his Voyager co-star Robert Beltran: Eating Raoul in 1982 (also with Hamilton Camp) and Scenes from the Class Struggle in Beverly Hills in 1989 (also with Wallace Shawn). In 1983, he appeared in the 1983 comedy Get Crazy along with another Voyager guest star, Robert Picardo, as well as Malcolm McDowell, Dick Miller and Clint Howard. The other regular Trek performers he has appeared with on non-Trek projects are the late James Doohan in 1995's Storybook (with Robert Costanzo and Robert Easton), DS9's Rene Auberjonois in 1995's Batman Forever (with George D. Wallace), and TNG's Marina Sirtis in 2003's Net Games. He also appared in Columbo: How to Dial a Murder (1978), alongside Kim Cattrall and Tricia O'Neil, and 16 years later co-starred in Columbo: Undercover, which was directed by Vincent McEveety.
Begley also co-starred in the 1994 fantasy The Pagemaster, which featured the voices of Trek regulars Leonard Nimoy, Patrick Stewart, and Robert Picardo. The film also starred Christopher Lloyd and the voices of Whoopi Goldberg, Frank Welker, and George Hearn.
He also appeared in the Christopher Guest mockumentaries This Is Spinal Tap (1984), Best in Show (2000), and A Mighty Wind (2003), all of which co-starred fellow Voyager guest actor Michael McKean (with the latter also featuring Paul Dooley and Bill Cobbs). Begley also co-starred with McKean in the films Young Doctors in Love (1982, with Saul Rubinek, Deborah Lacey, Charlie Brill, and Hamilton Camp), Auto Focus (2002), and the upcoming Relative Strangers (2006).
His many other film credits also include a brief appearance in Hardcore (1979, with Gary Graham, Marc Alaimo, and Bibi Besch) and larger supporting roles in the hit Navy drama An Officer & A Gentleman with Tony Plana, Cat People (1982, with Star Trek Generations actor Malcolm McDowell, who would co-star with Begley in Get Crazy the following year, and John Larroquette from Star Trek III: The Search for Spock), Protocol (1984, with Chris Sarandon, Gail Strickland, Cliff DeYoung, Keith Szarabajka, Kenneth Mars, and George D. Wallace), The Accidental Tourist (1988, with TNG guest star David Ogden Stiers), Greedy (1994, with Olivia d'Abo and Kirsten Dunst), I'm Losing You (1998, with Salome Jens and Frank Langella), and Get Over It (2001, starring Kirsten Dunst).
Begley has worked with both Captain Braxtons: Allan G. Royal in Future's End and Bruce McGill in both the 1977 film Handle with Care (along with Charles Napier) and the 2008 film Recount, about the contested 2000 presidential election. In this film, Begley played real-life Democratic strategist David Boies while McGill played Mac Stipanovich. Recount also starred fellow Trek alum Jack Shearer, who played Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia.

Monster Energy
Tear into a can of the meanest energy supplement on the planet, MONSTER ENERGY. We went down to the lab and cooked up a double shot of our killer energy brew. It´s a wicked mega hit that delivers twice the buzz of a regular energy drink. MONSTER packs a vicious punch but has a smooth flavor you can really pound down.
Tear into a can of the meanest energy supplement on the planet,. Lo-Carb MONSTER Energy. We went down to the lab and performed major surgery on the Monster. We hacked out carbohydrates and calories, transplanted the wicked Buzz and dialed in the flavor. Lo-Carb MONSTER energy still delivers twice the Buzz of a regular Energy drink, but only has a fraction of the calories.
The Juice is Loose… The magical smells in the air driving to the Monster Energy Pipeline Pro Surf competition on the North Shore of Oahu was our inspiration for new Monster Ripper.
We started with a killer combo of local tropical juices, added in some original Monster flavour, then pumped it up with a full load of our potent Monster Energy blend. Banzai!
Monster Ripper… a radical "Juice Monster" hybrid with explosive flavour and the big bad Monster buzz you will love

One of my legs is about 2cm shorter than the other. (This wasn't so until March, when a bike accident and the surgery that followed change my femur length -- see the picture below.) I'm looking for ideas about how to ride "normally" again.
-- Orthotics. The problem with these is that adding 2cm inside the shoe means my shoes don't fit comfortably. Perhaps I need different shoes with taller heel boxes?
-- Change cleat location. I've moved the cleats on my short leg several mm forward (towards my toes) and on my long leg slightly back. It just doesn't feel right, though.
-- Consult a professional. I'm seeing PT folks now. They gave me heel lifters, which have the same challenges as orthotics (shoe fit is problematic). I'm considering seeing other folks, like Dr. Pruitt.
-- Do nothing. This means rotating my pelvis and/or plantarflexion to compensate. I've tried this, and it doesn't feel good. I enjoy long rides (I was planning to do 600k this summer), so a tilted pelvis or foot is a poor solution.
-- Cleat risers? Perhaps increasing the distance from the peddle spindle to the base of the shoe would work?
-- Other suggestions?

One very important aspect of this is that it can reduce the computational burden substantially. If you e.q. know that 100 categories is sufficient resolution, you get a 100 x 100 contigency table. tau-b can be computed directly from the table. So for large data sets, this avoids the O(N**2) complexity of tau. The complexity of tau-b becomes O(N) and O(C*D), with C and D the number of categories in X and Y. So having a contingency-table version of tau-b would be very useful. Sturla Molden

In one of the stranger plays we've seen this season, UCLA punter Sean Covington was punting out of his own end zone and stepped on the end line for a safety against Virginia Tech on the Sun Bowl.
The play was unforced. Virginia Tech wasn't even rushing the punter. Covington just lost track of where he was in the end zone, stepped back when he received the ball and cost his team two points.
At the time, the gaffe actually drew Virginia Tech within two scores with most of the fourth quarter remaining. However, quarterback Mark Leal threw an interception on the Hokies next possession and the Bruins went on to score.
UCLA won the game 42-14.

Associated Press Release
ATLANTA (AP) -- A senior aide to Sen. Johnny Isakson will start a new job in November as Georgia's top job recruiter.

China Defends AIDS Policy, Says It Is Determined to Address Epidemic
September 4, 2003
China on Thursday slammed New York-based Human Rights Watch for "falsely" blaming government policy for a massive AIDS outbreak and said it is determined to care for those infected. Released Wednesday, the 94-page report "Locked Doors: The Human Rights of People Living with HIV/AIDS in China," charged the government with covering up the epidemic, downplaying the number of people infected, and implementing discriminatory policies against patients. Many people, in some cases entire villages, contracted HIV since the mid-1980s because of unsanitary state-run blood collection operations. "The number of persons with HIV is much higher than the 1 million cases that Beijing officially acknowledges," said the report. "If some international organizations, based on some inaccurate information make irresponsible accusations against China, I think this will not go with the facts," said China's foreign ministry spokesperson Kong Quan. Brad Adams, executive director of HRW's Asia division, said, "Beijing should authorize a full and impartial investigation into the involvement of local authorities in the blood scandal, and hold those responsible accountable."

SPCA euthanases govt cattleFri, 14 Sep 2012 11:41 AM
The SPCA has laid a charge of animal abuse against Limpopo's MEC for sports, art and culture, after 34 emaciated cattle at an open air museum had to be put down.
SPCA inspector Anton de Bruyn laid a charge against MEC Dipuo Letsatsi-Duba at the Letsitele police station on Thursday, Beeld reported on Friday.
He said the emaciated Nguni cattle were found dying of hunger and thirst at the Muti Wa Vatsonga open air museum in the Hans Merensky Nature Reserve.
"The animals were so weak that they couldn't get up. We had to put them down then and there," De Bruyn said.
A tourist who visited the museum, situated between Tzaneen and Phalaborwa, had notified the SPCA about the appalling condition of the animals, which had been without cattle feed for a month.
In a separate case, a criminal charge was laid at the Amsterdam police station by the Highveld Animal Protection Society against Mpumalanga's MEC for agriculture, Candith Mashego-Dlamini, and her department head, Nelisiwe Sithole.
This was after 48 pregnant Drakensberger stud cattle starved to death at Athole, a government-owned, experimental farm near the town, Beeld reported.

News 12 at 6 o'clock, December 12, 2008
AUGUSTA, Ga.---With unemployment hitting an all time high, many are considering going into one field that's been short handed for years -- nursing. Tonight, twenty-three Augusta State nursing students will receive their pins, and become official graduates, headed out into the workplace.
While many new graduates are still looking hard for a job, these students shouldn't have much trouble finding one at all.
The U.S. has been facing a nursing shortage over the last several years, blamed mainly on the fact that baby boomers made up most of the nurses and now they're retiring.
Next school year Augusta State is expanding it's program to offer bachelor degrees, partly to help with high demand. Right now, with the unemployment rate reaching 8 percent, nursing seems to be one of the jobs many are turning back to.
The final touches are in place for the twnety-three students who will step over the threshold into the working world tonight. One graduate says she believes the need for nurses was on their minds when they decided to enter the field.
"People just know there's a nursing shortage, they're needed. They want to be in a profession where they feel secure. So I think that was a factor for some. It's a really stable career. You always need nurses. We had lots of people from all different hospitals come and recruit us so, it felt pretty stable actually in kind of a rocky economy," says nursing graduate Katie Moseley.
After the pinning the twenty-three graduates will then have to take their board exams to become registered nurses. Katie Moseley guesses about half of the class have jobs lined up already.

Rubber bumpers
At least for primary school children (even if fifth-graders may be a more realistic target group than first-graders) it could be useful if the laptops had rubber bumpers. Young children may not be able to avoid throwing around or dropping an object or occasionally hitting something with it. Large, soft rubber bumpers could increase durability. Rubber bumpers would also increase friction and reduce the risk of accidentally pushing a laptop from a desk.
An alternative to rubber could be hollow polyethylene balls with notches to fit the edges of the laptop case, possibly with rubber on the underside to increase friction.
Polyethylene shell
A variant would be an enclosing polyethylene shell that could enclose the whole laptop like packaging material while allowing to open and operate the laptop. Pupils would have the option to use the laptop in its protective shell or without. The shell could give the impression that the laptop was extremely fragile and could provoke additional caution in its treatment while actually serving the purpose of an air bag.
The shell could allow some personal modifications (e.g. allow for a name badge) to make it a more personal item one might want to keep naturally instead of something that looks like packaging material.
An inexpensive satchel could be built from plastic, bubble wrap and other cushioning material. A satchel would encourage carrying the laptop on the back, which is ergonomically better for carrying over longer distances and may decrease the risk of the laptop being knocked while being carried. A satchel would also decrease the risk of damage through rain and dust, even if the laptop is resistant. The price of a mass produced plastic satchel should be insignificant. The shoulder straps of a satchel could allow to suspend the laptop from the straps, reducing the weight-loading of the satchel to zero.
A satchel could include cat's eye reflectors for security on the road.
A retainer for school benches could help to reduce the risk that a laptop was pushed from a bench accidentally, which can happen easily in a class with young pupils.

Written by Ola's Kool Kitchen
"Glasgow is a very frustrating place; very insular, parochial and predictable in their tastes. The amount of utter shite indie-pop garbage that is spouted is ridiculous…..When every second person on the street, at gigs or in pubs looks like a Franz Ferdinand reject with straightening irons and an eating disorder who's been kicked through a Top-Man store, it's hardly surprising this mass brain-washing has diluted the live music being heard… We mean what we do. If you really want to make psychedelic music it has to come from a very real source and experience. If you're jumping on the latest fashionable band wagon then those who understand the music will suss it out in no time at all."
-John-Paul Hughes from Helicon.
Helicon live in London at Paper Dress Vintage: picture by OKK
Welcome to a quick tour of four fabulous bands in Glasgow that deem further investigation. Starting things off is Helicon a personal favorite of mine and one I have played on several occasions, including recording their live set in London for broadcast on the Kool Kitchen radio show. They are described as doom-mongering behemoths of Psychedelic Rock, as sincere as the quote above from band member John Paul; the band completely means business in creating layers of rich textured sonic reverb.
A good place to start is with their epic track, "The Point Between Heaven And Hell". If not already, this should be a classic in the shoe gaze cannon of must have tunes. Like all the best songs, this is a journey that twists and twirls like the title, someplace in the imagination between heaven and hell. For your perusal, the song by Helicon to make your ears tingle with delight!
Having just performed at Liverpool Psych Fest in the UK, live Helicon is equally mesmerizing. There is an intricate melancholy to their soul gazing, click here for a sample of their London gig at Paper Dress Vintage in my podcast to give you a taster.
Glasgow's premier fuzz-noise-terrorists St Deluxe, is harkening back to 90's old school blessed out indie. There is an enthusiastic quality to this energetic three some fused with moments of pure riff/pop joy, teenage punk riot and dense, shoe-gaze fog. To listen to them fulfills my yearning to return to the hey-day of Creation Records and a UK chart that still had elements of real indie in the rock. They have also been known to make appearances live and on recordings with Stephen Lawrie from The Telescopes.
Their song "Evil Dead" is a nice introduction, immersed in horror and zombie film imagery laced within the lyrics. I always enjoy any references to B movies in songs, so the theme is rather compelling in the fast-paced, guitar pop tempo. To check out the scary nostalgia here is the track.
Although His Name Is Codeine are not officially based in Glasgow (from Elgin), when asked about bands to be booked for a gig in Glasgow their name came up. Tenuous geographical connection, I know but will make it work anyhow! This band is murky, with some moments of sludge-psych/gaze, oozing a Cimmerian shade of subterranean depths of sound.
A closer look at their song "The Measure Of Your Misery" off their latest album The Only Truth Is Music, reveals all those elements intertwined with a slightly jangly sad song. Like a snake it slithers in a slinky manner, hypnotizing the listener into a warm sonic cotton woolly ball. Sometimes there is true pleasure in wallowing in the forlorn and I find this so here; but don't take my word for it, check it out and judge for yourself.
The Cherry Wave is a shoe-gaze band from Glasgow creating structures of echoing drenched fuzz and distortion while also incorporating melody into their dense tone-brume. In certain moments the band has an underwater warble that burbles slowly to the surface, mimicking the unconscious in a rock song.
The song "Drown" rams home the sub-aquatic nature of these musical ocean floor dwellers. Something about this track reminds me of a Crustacean crawling through sea weed. It's a pleasant sonic trawl through dark muddy gaze. If ever there was a way to "Drown in Sound" this is it. If you like it uber-fuzzy, fishy and liquid lush, I highly recommend testing it out here!
There is an ulterior motive for writing this article, The Telescopes will be returning to play at King Tut Wah Wah's in Glasgow on Friday October 25th 2013. Joining Stephen on stage as the Scopes will be St Deluxe and Cherry Wave will be supporting alongside dark psychedelia from Dead Temple. For those in Glasgow, you can check out some of these bands in exciting action or for those further afield enjoy the snippets collected here!

Crockett Jr. Posted: Jan. 6 2014 8:54 AM 0 Gracie Mansion Spencer Platt/Getty Images It may have taken the De Blasio family a while to decide whether or not they were going to move to Gracie Mansion but it didn't take long for them to open the doors up to the public, The New York Times reports. On Sunday, newly christened mayor, Bill De Blasio opened his new digs up to thousands of New Yorkers. According to the Times, tickets to Sunday's open house were distributed by lottery; and as such a black market thrived on Craigslist. The mayor's staff served cups of hot chocolate and apple cider to visitors who stood in the cold, some of whom waited more than two hours. The mayor's transition team hired a band of guitarists and tambourine players to keep the guests spirits up. Many of those in line said they were lifelong New Yorkers who had never had a chance to be inside the mansion. "We felt for this whole inauguration that it was crucial to make clear government was open to the people," De Blasio said and Politicker reports. "This is the people's house. Gracie Mansion is the people's house. City Hall is the people's house. We want people to know, in everything we do, they are welcome in." Read more at The New York Times and Politicker.

No doubt you've heard the news and corresponding cries of despair about Ann Demeulemeester stepping down from her label. It was surprising and saddening news to wake up to. Ann has provided many with a world of beauty, she was one of the first designers to captivate me back before I had discovered this black and thoughtful niche. Her vision appealed to my inner goth, yet was more grown up and sophisticated than what I had previously been exposed to. I always feel strong wearing her pieces, and I know she evoked similar emotions in whoever wore her magic.
Ann Demeulemeester the label will continue on without her and I hope some of that magic will still remain. Although I want it to be otherwise sometimes the time is right to move on. I wish her the best for the future in whatever she does, and am very grateful for the inspiration and beauty she has provided to me and so many others.

This recording was made via a "binaural" receiver of my own construction. Basically it's a short-wave receive, tuned to the 40 meter amateur radio band, and unlike most receivers, which have only a singe antenna and one detector and amplifier, this one has a separate antenna, detector, and amplifier for each ear. One antenna is vertically polarized and the other horizontally polarized, hence the perceived position of any received signal depends on the relative phase, amplitude, and frequency of the signals picked up by the two antennas. This confers a startling spatial effect, in which signals migrate back and forth across the sound stage depending on the location of the transmitter and the state of the ionosphere between transmitter and receiver.
This particular recording was made of many stations competing to contact a DX (Distance, in ham lingo) station. The DX station, located in some exotic foreign place, sends out a CQ, or a general call, and hundreds or thousands of stations who want to contact him (or her) send their call signs in hopes of being heard and given a(n) (often fake) signal report. One contact lasts less than a minute, then the DX station moves on to another contact. What you hear in this recording is an avalanche of many stations sending their calls, then a pause, while the DX station, which you can hear faintly at a very high pitch on the right, makes one contact, then another avalanche of calling. If this sounds nuts, I agree. But it's fun to listen to with the binaural receiver.
The recording was made on a Samsung UP-MT6 portable mp3 player, which was the only recorder I had at hand at the moment when the opportunity offered.
With other, variable-length waves:
Thanks for the record and explanation about this...
i take a copy for this sound for me!
Awesome atmosphere! Thanks for this

The Chowan County Courthouse in Edenton re-opened in grand style back in October 2004 after a $3,000,000 renovation project. The North Carolina State Supreme Court came for the ceremonies, holding its first case there in over a century. Now, for the first time in nearly 300 years, state lawmakers will meet in Edenton for a legislative session. It will be a regular working session, on May 25. Edenton became the first capital of North Carolina when, in 1722, the governor's council chambers were constructed in the coastal town.

Beneath Bucharest
In 1997, after finishing a master's degree in international studies at Columbia University, 27-year-old fledgling filmmaker Edet Belzberg went to Romania to document the desperate circumstances of homeless street
children. In the course of filming, Belzberg befriended a group of five children living in a Bucharest subway tunnel. Guided by a 15-year-old girl who identifies as male for her own protection, Belzberg chronicled the daily peril the children face in order to, as 12-year-old Mihai explains, "live free" of institutional and familial abuse. The result of Belzberg's work is Children Underground, a vérité portrait that won this year's Special Jury Prize at Sundance.
CP: Did you find that the ethnic fragmentation that makes Romania so fragile affected the children's lives as well?
BELZBERG: With the kids, the one thing below living on the street was being Roma. Calling someone a Gypsy was very derogatory, and that really played out with the children.
CP: The teenage orphan Macarena could be Roma. Was she singled out?
BELZBERG: No, she had a good standing within the group. There really was a hierarchical structure, with Christina as the leader and Ana being second in command. And although Macarena wasn't a leader, she had a very important role within the group.
CP: Can you comment on the sexual identity of the kids in Children Underground--or sexual abuse, which you don't really address directly in the film?
BELZBERG: Christina is the greatest example of what's necessary to survive on the street. Her adopting this male identity was a way for her to survive. You will see a lot of girls try to camouflage themselves to hide their femininity as a defense, because the girls are raped. And you hear Christina say that it's more difficult for girls on the street than it is for boys.
CP: Has the film helped the situation, in your view?
BELZBERG: Well, in terms of raising awareness, when I started shooting the film, I really did think that in a few months I'd raise all the money and that there would be this large movement. I was very naive in that sense, and I thought the children I focused on would be saved. I thought it would take six months, and it took four years to complete--most of which was spent raising money to complete the film.
CP: Have you kept in touch with the kids?
BELZBERG: I was in Romania about two months ago and wasn't able to find Ana or Mihai. The situation is very different there. It's much worse. Basically, what's captured in the film is really the children's golden years in terms of what's happening now. Heroin has replaced [the paint thinner] Aurolac. One child can't afford a syringe, so you will have five kids chipping in for one syringeful and then sharing a needle. Christina is still on the street. She is a heroin addict, and pregnant. Macarena is still on the street. The police have started a new policy to clean up...so the kids are constantly on the run. You won't find anymore a group of children living in one place.
The only thing that gives me any hope is that I am working now with ChildHope International, and we are doing a fundraiser. And with the showing on HBO [next year], I'm hoping that it will generate some response.

The campaign is back on.
After being in limbo whether to proceed with the Rockford School referendum push.
The Kids Win Campaign is once again given the green light for an all out publicity blitz. Last week the school board decided to keep the power in our hands as to whether the education tax is extended or not.
A new state law could have allowed the board to pass the $0.58 tax extension on its own. Board members said that would have been unfair.

No, difficulty isn't what stops me from playing stuff (especially since I beat the boss on easy anyway, as explained in the posting). The difficulty spike was just an annoyment. But what I can't stand is when there is a huge disconnect between what happens during gameplay and what happens in cutscenes/scripted events. In this specific fight it would have been perfectly fine with me if the cutscene with me loosing would have come when I actually lost against that dude. But when I finally beat him after I can't remember how many attempts just to see the cutscene... no, that is just botched scripting in my opinion. Or was it really important for the story if he looses 5, 20 or 50% of his health before the cutscene plays?
In case of Witcher 2 it was the compilation of all those little annoying things to one big pile of anger. Today I was contemplating continuing Witcher 2, but I decided to continue my NG+ in Dark Souls instead.
Currently playing: Dark Souls 3

The herpes virus is sneaky. Once you get infected, it goes into hiding inside the nerve cells deep in your skin, untouchable by blood vessels and hence by medications. This is why it is often said that herpes is not curable. Although this is true, there are many treatment regimens you can come up with to knock outbreaks down to a minimum, including one that may get rid of them altogether. Check out an all-natural herpes treatment by clicking here.
Dietary Changes
First, you must make some dietary changes. If you eat chocolate, nuts, caffeine, berries, or any type of grain (like bread, breakfast cereal), then stop. These foods all contain high levels of the amino acid "arginine", which acts as a sort of fuel for herpes. Arginine competes in the body with another amino acid called "lysine", so increasing your lysine consumption will simultaneously decrease your levels of arginine. This should help reduce outbreaks.
So how do you increase your lysine levels?
Well, one way is to take supplements. Take about 2 grams per day at the first sign of an outbreak. Long term use is probably OK, but it may raise cholesterol levels. A better thing to do would be to take the supplements only during an outbreak, and during maintenance periods (between outbreaks), keep your lysine levels high naturally by just eating foods with lysine. Dairy products are some of the highest. Ice cream, butter, milk, cheese, cottage cheese, and so on are high in lysine. So are most meats, vegetables, and fruits. Although stay away from oranges.
Sticking to this new diet should help decrease the frequency of outbreaks.
Home Remedies for Getting Rid of Outbreaks
The above will help to decrease outbreaks, but they still may occur. When they do, try the following remedies using items from around your house:
1. Baking soda.
Baking soda, mixed with a little water and applied as a paste to the area where the outbreak is, will help dry up the sores faster.
2. Black tea.
Make some tea, and keep the tea bag and let it cool down. Apply it to the blisters. Tea contains tannins, which are a good anti-inflammatory. They can promote faster healing.
3. Aloe vera.
The common houseplant called aloe vera can be found in almost any nursery or large hardware store. The sap is known for its soothing and healing properties, with the potential for speeding up the healing of wounds that would otherwise have taken much longer to heal. Buy an aloe vera, and break off a two inch piece. Apply the gooey sap to the herpes outbreak and leave it on as long as possible, or even overnight.
4. Wear loose underwear.
Herpes outbreaks are usually brought on by lowered immune system (so get plenty of sleep and try not to stress out!), and by wounds or abrasions to the area where the herpes is located. For this reason, if you wear loose underwear and clothes, you will not end up getting tight irritations and abrasions which will threaten to bring the herpes to the surface.
Step it up a notch!
You can also purchase some items that will help you get rid of herpes outbreaks:
1. Domeboro Powder.
Found in any drug store, this is a preparation of aluminum acetate, which is an astringent. Astringents shrink body tissue, so they can help dry out blisters and act as an anti-inflammatory.
2. Essential oils.
In many vitamin and health food stores, you can find essential oils with skin-repairing properties. Try a few of these and they may help heal outbreaks faster.1. Domeboro Powder. Found in any drug store, this is a preparation of aluminum acetate, which is an astringent. Astringents shrink body tissue, so they can help dry out blisters and act as an anti-inflammatory.
3. Olive leaf extract.
This supplement contains a compound called oleuropein that has been shown to be lethal to the herpes virus, and is able to get to it in the cells and stop it from changing cells into herpes factories. It is also a good anti-oxidant, which will help prevent cell damage. Find olive leaf capsules at most health food stores.
This herb can increase the effectiveness of your immune system, and also has anti-inflammatory properties. It can also help reduce stress. Stress and lowered immune systems are what generally leads to herpes outbreaks, so getting these under control can seriously decrease the number of outbreaks you have.
And Finally….!
The home remedies listed above can give you a head start in getting rid of herpes, and the supplements can complement that effect. However, despite your best efforts, herpes can still be difficult to manage. You can find an all natural treatment that many have used successfully by clicking here.

The Quicksands of Satire
Below is a column I wrote that will run on the Opinion Page of the Sun-Sentinel on Wednesday, July 16:
In keeping with the superheated rhetoric of the campaign season, an enormous brouhaha has erupted over the latest cover of the New Yorker magazine, which depicts a turbaned Barack Obama in the Oval Office fist-bumping his wife Michelle. Her hair is coiffed in an Afro, and she is toting an AK-47. There is an ornately framed portrait of Osama bin Laden on the wall, and an American flag is burning in the fireplace. The cartoon has been described as inflammatory, and has been condemned by both the Obama and McCain campaigns as insulting and in poor taste.
Satire as a rhetorical device has been around since the ancient Greeks. Probably before that, even, when some Neanderthal stand-up comedian mimicked the effeminate spear-throwing style of his tribal chieftain and got bonked on the head with a club. Speaking as an editorial cartoonist, I have learned, painfully, that there are two kinds of people in this world: those who understand satire, and those who don't. It would be easy to take the elitist route, and say that an understanding of satire comes as the result of education, but I remember that there were plenty of people in college who relentlessly took things they saw and heard at face value. They were a minority, to be sure, but I think the inability to read the intent of a message as being the opposite of what they are being presented with is a genetic thing. It should not be looked down upon any more than the inability to distinguish colors. You either have the gene, or you don't.
I suspect that the Obama campaign understood the satire the way it was intended, as a device to showcase exactly how absurd are the many accusations being made about Barack Obama's (and his wife's) general suitability to be the President and First Lady. They are running a campaign, however, and they know that when the "satirically challenged" vote, their vote is worth just as much as those who "got" the cartoon. Hence, the show of huffiness. As for the McCain campaign, they're just making some cheap points, pretending to be great humanitarians while knowing full well that the cartoon reinforces the subliminal and enduring message that opponents of Obama's candidacy have been so effectively spreading.
As satire, I thought it was a good cartoon. It could have been drawn better, but that's just a matter of personal taste. Whether it should have run at all is a more nuanced matter. If I were an editor of the New Yorker, I would be fully aware that my readership is a self-selecting group that would more than likely not only understand the satire of the cartoon, but get a hoot out of it. Being familiar with the editorial and visual content of the New Yorker, I am guessing that those who lack the satire gene are unlikely to spend their money on the magazine, so no harm done except when the cover is displayed in public, or becomes the property of the blogosphere and cable TV, as it now has.
From an editor's point of view, the cover has pleased the magazine's readership, become controversial, and as a result, sold more magazines—which is the goal of publishing a magazine. From the point of view of a concerned citizen who is interested in making sure the best man for our country is elected President, regardless of who he might be, anything that gets the less-capable person elected for the wrong reasons is to be avoided.

The Most Annoying Character on TV is…
Claire Dunphy from Modern Family.
Without a doubt. Everytime she's (and I'm referring to the character, I'm actually a fan of the actress Julie Bowen), but everytime Claire is on the screen, she just sucks all the fun comedy & fun out of the show.
I'm a big fan of Modern Family, but I just can not get into Claire's character at all. From her constantly hoping Sofia Vergara will get fat…or always having to win…I just feel it's unfair to Phil (who might be the best character on TV…outside of Ron Swanson of course).
Agree or not?
Note: I'm excluding all reality folks (like the Kardashians)…and I don't watch 2 Broke Girls, because, well, it looks terrible.
Speaking of TV
Umm…The Office. What is going on? First off, I give them credit…although this season has been very weird, it does seem much, much funnier than the past few seasons.
Before I continue, Receptionist Erin could be up there for Most Annoying Character on TV…holy cow, she doesn't say anything funny ever, yet, they continue having her drone on & on.
That said…really, they broke the 4th wall, and what…the sound guy Brian and Pam are flirting while Jim's in Baltimore? It's not believeable, and it's just weird. Plus, this is the last season, right? We're introducing new characters this late in the game? Did they not see Lost? It fails miserably.
Trisha Yearwood's Cooking Show
So, when it's not on Go Diego Go, Dora, or Bob the Builder, our TV is usually set on the Food Network. Sunday morning was no different…my wife really likes "The Pioneer Woman", but to get to her, we have to suffer through Trisha Yearwood's show.
Trisha Yearwood's show is weird…Garth Brooks is on it sometimes…she's always entertaining…and she always makes a big a deal out of her table setting, sort of like Sandra Lee's show. (which we haven't seen in quite awhile).
Anyways, on Sunday's show, Trisha made brunch for some people…and then as they were sitting down to eat, she burst into a singing of "Amazing Grace"…like, the whole song. It was Alicia Keys' anthem before Alicia Keys sang it. Even the people at the table had a look as if to say, "Umm…can we eat now? Our food is getting cold". It was just bizarre.
AWESOME is as AWESOME does!
