This conference comes shortly after news of disastrous rates of HIV infection among gay African Americans and other minorities. An epidemiological study in New York City found HIV infection rate now more than ten times as high among African Americans than among whites (33% vs. 2%) in gay men age 23-29. The researchers found no behavioral risk factor which could explain the difference. The study, by L. Torian and others, will be presented at the Retroviruses conference in early February; a report appeared February 24 in New York Newsday.
The current program includes:
Registration: There is no fee to register, and the registration desk will remain open through the conference. It is best to register early, by contacting Stacey Everett at Firehouse Event Planning, phone 609-936-1966, fax 609- 936-0479.
Continuing education credit: 16 hours Category One, no fee.
This program is funded through unrestricted educational grants provided by:
At a time of growing problems around the pharmaceutical industry and its relationship to individual and public health goals, the program stands out as a clear success. For the first two years it was funded entirely by Bristol-Myers Squibb; this year funding is from multiple sources.
Yes, the conference serves a marketing purpose, since more attention on this issue will probably result in more African Americans with HIV receiving medical care -- and some of them will use the sponsors' high-profit antiretrovirals. But here the corporate purpose is consistent with the public goal of getting people with HIV into medical care, so that they and their doctors can make informed decisions about what treatment, if any, to begin. In this case, public and commercial goals coincide.

Years ago, a teacher forced me to read Fernand Braudel's three volume history of the world. While most of the information contained in Braudel's amazing opus has, thankfully, managed to leak out of my brain, I still remember that he was a huge fan of the potato.
In the 40+ plus pages that he spent discussing the miracle tuber, Braudel noted that it was capable of massively increasing the carbohydrate production of a field, meaning that fewer farmers could produce more food with less work. This, in turn, meant that more former farmers could move to the city, get jobs in factories, and generally contribute to the industrial revolution. In other words, the victory of the potato over wheat and other grains directly led to the development of the modern world.
I was reminded of this recently when agricultural researchers determined that, in terms of carbohydrates per acre, sweet potatoes and cassavas are two to three times more productive than corn. This is important because these carbohydrates can then be converted into ethanol. Currently, the majority of the US's ethanol program has been focused on corn, which has massively driven up food costs. In addition to corn's questionable value as a medium for ethanol production, the fact that it has to be trucked cross-country to ethanol plants further reduces its effectiveness and environmental viability.
Unfortunately, the startup costs for sweet potatoes and cassavas are higher than those for corn, but if an economical agricultural program could be developed, the tuber that jump-started the industrial revolution could also power our 21st century cars!
Bruce Watson is a freelance writer, blogger, and all-around cheapskate. When asked why he loves sweet potatoes so much, he shrugs and states that "I yam what I yam."

Bruce came to personal finance writing the old fashioned way: he didn't have much money, but wanted to do cool things. Clearly, some creativity was in order. From traveling around Europe to paying for a wedding, moving to New York to raising a child, he's figured out how to have fun without spending much money. In the process, he's also learned a few things about how politics and economics can help (or hurt) middle class finances.

The Blind Leading the Willing
A compromise between those who don't care and those who don't want to know.
Is it still called a compromise when the president gets everything he wanted?
A major detainee bill hurtling down the HOV lane in Congress today would determine the extent to which the president can define and authorize torture. The urgency to pass this legislation has nothing to do with a new need to interrogate alleged enemy combatants. The urgency is about an election.
Last time Congress rubber-stamped a major terrorism-related law no one had bothered to read in the first place, we got the Patriot Act. That alone should lead us to wonder whether there shouldn't be a mandatory three-month cooling-off period whenever Congress enacts broad laws that rewrite the Constitution.
The White House version of the detainee bill met with some resistance among ranking GOP members of Congress last week, but not enough to matter. And now, with a "compromise" at hand, nobody seems to agree on the meaning of the bargain we've struck. Sen. John McCain still believes that he's won on the bedrock principle of U.S. adherence to the Geneva Conventions. The Bush administration sees it as granting the president the authority to decide what Geneva really means.
That led to all the confusion last Sunday, when, appearing on Face the Nation, McCain claimed that the current bill "could mean that … extreme measures such as extreme deprivation—sleep deprivation, hypothermia, and others would be not allowed." This, on the same weekend that the editors at the Wall Street Journal crowed: "It's a fair bet that waterboarding—or simulated drowning, the most controversial of the CIA's reported interrogation techniques—will not be allowed under the new White House rules. But sleep deprivation and temperature variations, to name two other methods, will likely pass muster." So, what did we agree to? Is hypothermia in or out? What about sexual degradation or forcing prisoners to bark like dogs? Stress positions?
I'd wager that any tie goes to the White House. One hardly needs a law degree to understand that in a controversy over detainee treatment between the executive and legislative branches, the trump will go to the guy who's holding the unnamed detainees in secret prisons.
That brings us to a second stunning aspect of the so-called compromise: Not only do our elected officials have no idea what deal they've just struck, but they also have no idea what they were even bargaining about. In his Face the Nation interview, McCain revealed that he was in fact quite clueless as to what these "alternative interrogation measures"—the ones the president insists the CIA must use—actually include. "It's hard for me to get into these techniques," McCain said. "First of all, I'm not privy to them, but I only know what I've seen in public reporting."
Asked whether he had "access to more information about this than any of us because you've been in the negotiations," the senator was not reassuring. He knows "only what the president talked about in his speech." To clarify: McCain, the Geneva Conventions' great defender, is signing off on interrogation limits he knows nothing about. And so, it appears, will the most of the rest of Congress.
But that's not all. Congress doesn't want to know what it's bargaining away this week. In the Boston Globe this weekend, Rick Klein revealed that only "10 percent of the members of Congress have been told which interrogation techniques have been used in the past, and none of them know which ones would be permissible under proposed changes to the War Crimes Act." More troubling still, this congressional ignorance seems to be by choice. Klein quotes Sen. Jeff Sessions, the Alabama Republican, as saying, "I don't know what the CIA has been doing, nor should I know." Evidently, "widely distributing such information could result in leaks."
We've reached a defining moment in our democracy when our elected officials are celebrating their own blind ignorance as a means of keeping the rest of us blindly ignorant as well.

'Utopia', Channel 4's high-profile conspiracy drama that launches this evening, will be expanded online through 'The Utopia Inquiry', a digital experience created by TH_NK.
TH_NK, together with the production company Kudos, Channel 4 and writer Dennis Kelly, have joined forces to tell the stories behind the six-part series, creating a "transmedia" experience across multiple platforms.
'The Utopia Inquiry' will allow viewers to watch trailers and answer questions based on the debates raised by the programme, including ID theft, the nanny state and the things people surrender for the benefits of modern life.
The three main themes of the series will be mirrored online. It begins by asking how long users could outwit the "network", a shadowy organisation introduced in the first show. Users can explore what and how much data they share online, what organisations can access that data, and how they can use it.
The second theme discusses what people would have to give up to reduce their online and offline footprint. Channel 4 is keeping the third theme a secret.
Hilary Perkins, multiplatform commissioning editor, drama, Channel 4, said: "The Utopia Inquiry is the first multi-platform for a Channel 4 drama, and the result of a real collaboration between Channel 4, TH_NK and Kudos."
Rob Hinchcliffe, strategist at TH_NK, said: "This is clearly not something that has just been bolted on at the end, but has been part of the production all along. We've tried to make the big themes of the drama personal in a range of intriguing, challenging and entertaining ways."Follow @MaisieMcCabe

Gaffney South Carolina is home to a Mr. Mack Norman. Mack used to operate computers. Mack gave up two things to be a computer operator. He gave up any hope of ever working outdoors; and he gave up a childhood dream. Playing in the dirt with dirt with toy trucks and tractors is almost a right of passage from boyhood to adolescence. For some, that boyhood playtime event plants a seed. That seed laid dormant in Mack for many years.

High incomes, pension packages bleeding city dry
Letter to Editor
Are Rocklin citizens sitting on a fence when the very people that run our city come under fire for paying out lucrative salaries allowing triple digit incomes and pension packages to bleed our budget? The city's response: Form a committee composed of only senior staff to provide input on salaries and pension reform. Truly a fox in the hen house story. Budget reform is opening your checkbook, allowing examination, using salary free "neutral" members of the citizenry to form a citizens' budget review commission. Plenty of very bright people live in this city. Past fiscal decisions plunged us into the deep ravine and all we can see is our reserves. Our city budget is under severe structural distress. We owe future generations a lesson: How do mistakes played out on Wall Street hurt us locally? Meaningful reform includes citizen oversight, transparency and public hearings. Do you agree? I am not confident the city's budget problems will go away. Sixteen percent of the salaries are still over $100,000, plus deferred compensation and PERS retirement. Why squander our city budget on lucrative practices of the past? Stop bleeding our municipal budget. Open the books, let the citizens see tangible reform, reverse old unworkable solutions, prevent structural deficits and stop using reserves that damage investors' perceptions of a financially healthier government making it costlier for Rocklin to borrow money, and finally affecting our rating on Wall Street. Citizens, know this, the city is in fiscal trouble. Angela Torrens, Rocklin

Time is now for Murray to win Slam
Updated: January 25, 2010, 10:07 AM ETBy Ravi Ubha | ESPN.com
MELBOURNE, Australia -- Andy Murray has never been afraid to make changes.
A few years ago, starting out his pro career, Murray axed his agent. Britain's beleaguered Lawn Tennis Association paid Brad Gilbert big bucks to become Murray's coach, sensing it had a special successor to Tim Henman, only for the Scot to cast him aside, too.
He's since gone for glitz, dropping another agent to join David Beckham's management company, and bought a nice red Ferrari, albeit second hand, in ...

Elizabeth Edwards says she's writing a letter to her children so they'll have her guidance after she is no longer with them.
Edwards is the wife of Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, a former North Carolina senator.
She announced in March that her breast cancer had returned in an incurable form. Elizabeth Edwards says she came up with the idea for the letter 20 years ago after watching the movie "Terms of Endearment," where the mother knew she was dying and wrote to her children. She says her letter "just tells them the things I hope that they'll know about growing up."
Her advice includes such things as what type of people they should marry and the kind of church they should attend.
The Edwards have three children -- Cate, who's 25, 9-year-old Emma Claire, and 7-year-old Jack.
Elizabeth Edwards has been receiving treatments while her husband continues to campaign. She says she's "doing great" and feeling strong.

Dogs are used in many areas for hunting. There are many breeds of hunting dogs, and the type of game animal you are hunting will determine what type of dog to use. When hunting with a dog, everyone in the hunting party must treat the dog as a fellow hunter. Always be aware of where the dog is, and adhere to both vertical and horizontal zones of fire as well as identification of the target, and what lies in front of, and beyond, that target.
Leashes can be very dangerous in some hunting situations. Dogs can be unpredictable at times, and it doesn't take much for a leash to wrap around a gun barrel if the dog is running around. This could result in jerking the muzzle towards a hunting companion, especially during waterfowl season and while sitting or laying on the ground among a goose spread of decoys. It does not take much to get twisted around by their leash and lose muzzle control. Be sure to always remove any leashes or tethers before starting your hunt.
A hunting dog should always wear a collar, which includes information such as the dog's name, and the owner's phone number. Blaze orange vests made out of cloth and neoprene can be purchased for the hunting dog to wear, which will help other hunters see the dog, and can also help keep the dog warm and protect them from injury.
For large and small game animals, beagles and hounds are used to run game animals in the direction of a hunter. When released, the dog travels through the cover and moves the game towards the hunter or hunters staged at certain locations. This technique works well in thick cover or a swamp that a hunter cannot walk through.
Safety first! Since most waterfowl hunting is done in cold weather, it is important that the retriever stays warm and dry.

RISMEDIA, March 24, 2009-RE/MAX CENTRAL, of Las Vegas, NV, appeared on TLC's "Deals on the Bus," a new show featuring real estate agents who have successfully taken their business on the road. Nick Nolf, a top-producing Associate for RE/MAX CENTRAL and his foreclosure bus tour was the highlight of Saturday's show.
John and Ruth Ahlbrand, co-owners of RE/MAX CENTRAL and creators of the foreclosure bus tour, have been nationally recognized for their efforts in addressing the Las Vegas foreclosure market.
"People thought John and I were crazy to take a 40-seat bus, wrap it with the RE/MAX logo, and drive perspective buyers around the city to look at foreclosed homes," said Ruth Ahlbrand. "The tours have been such a success that we now offer three per week, visiting a wide range of low to high-priced foreclosures."
The RE/MAX CENTRAL foreclosure bus tour has been featured in USA Today, Business Week, The New York Times and the Wall Street Journal and has also been the subject of numerous international news stories in Canada, Great Britain, Australia, Austria, Sweden and Germany.
With the foreclosure market growing at a rapid pace, it's critical that buyers visit these properties in person, in order to start moving them off the market.
"Some sources predict that one third of the homes sold in 2009 will be foreclosed or short sales properties," said Chip Brekken, vice president for the RE/MAX Southwest Region. "With such a huge segment of the market tied up in foreclosure, it's imperative that real estate agents, such as Ruth and John Ahlbrand, tap into the foreclosure market in order to ensure business success this year."

Topic: General Gaming / Kingdom Rush - Iron Challenge, Dark Tower, level 12
Try to use two upgraded mage towers with armor reduction + two upgraded archer towers to ranger to start with, on last row; use one barracks middle on last row also, and two on the row before, up, to keep enemies in range of towers. As you upgrade, don't go full on barracks, but keep gold and add mage towers and maybe another archer if you want, going for armor reduction on mage towers and that vine enemy-stunning upgrade on rangers. Other that that, it's just a reinforcement and meteor thing. At least, that's how I got it done. Good luck!

49-11 Roosevelt Ave
Woodside, NY 11377
Neighborhood: Woodside
According to one Yelper:
Sik Gaek's seafood was very legit and the place was no gimmicky at all. It's the live octopus and live lobster place in Woodside, Queens with a sister resto in Flushing.
The $99.99 fresh octopus hot pot is loaded with fresh seafood and tasted so delicious.
It contained two live octopii (moving), live lobster (moving), live abalone, sea snail, razor clams, crab, mussels, shrimp, baby octopus, ..., in a broth (similar to soondooboo) with udon.
Picture of our previous events
2011 event
Out of all the sea specimens, the live lobster was the most tasty. The sea snail was great too.
With the octopus, you have the option of having one (or both) served on the side, so you can eat it raw while moving. Even 20 mins after it was cut up, its pieces would move when poked.
I think the place is open from 10 or 11am until 4am. They are located on the intersection of 49th St & Roosevelt Ave, a 15min drive from Midtown East (you can street park), or a short subway ride on the (7) to 46th St/Bliss St in Sunnyside, Queens. The resto is technically in Woodside.
If you go, order the watermelon soju too. It comes in a large watermelon, and tastes very good.
I highly recommend this place to seafood lovers. The food was fresh and delicious. It's a must for adventurous foodies! Yes, I'm talking to you, Yelpers.

Biologists recently discovered Kittlitz's murrelets nesting on Adak, and since then have searched the island for more birds. An elusive and little understood seabird, Kittlitz's murrelets are a species of concern because of their low numbers and restricted range. Their cryptic mottled plumage and secretive behavior around their solitary nest sites makes locating murrelet nests seem a lot like looking for a needle in a haystack. If eyes are not the best tool for finding Kittlitz nests, what about noses? This summer a new member joined the team: Otto, a ten-month-old Deutsch-Drahthaar (akin to a German wirehair pointer). Even in the Aleutians, Otto is not the first dog to work alongside Refuge biologists. Read more about Otto and how we went to the dogs to bring back an endangered species.

When Bob Schaffer decided to run for Colorado's open U.S. Senate seat, he knew he probably wouldn't have a Republican primary opponent. In fact, he told party leaders in May that he would not get into the race otherwise.
To help clear the field, the party invoked a formal process under what's known as "Rule 11." Dating back to at least the mid-1990s but little-known among many of the GOP rank and file, Rule 11 allows the national party to abandon its traditional neutral stance and back a candidate long before a primary vote.
It required the signature of the state party chairman and Colorado's two national Republican committeemen. Of the three who made the decision to back Schaffer, one — because he holds a seat on the National Republican Committee — was Bob Schaffer.
That result is a telling moment in where the state Republican Party stands. Reeling from a series of defeats, party officials say a primary battle in the state's most important race of 2008 is a luxury they can't afford.
But the situation looks much the same from the other side. When Democrat Mark Benner recently suggested he would challenge U.S. Rep. Mark Udall of Eldorado Springs for a chance at the Senate seat, state party chairwoman Pat Waak began a series of discussions with Benner "about other ways to get the issues he is interested in out there."
A balance of choice, chance
If Waak prevails, the result is something that probably would have been unthinkable even five years ago: The Colorado race represents an open Senate seat in a key swing state that is considered truly competitive.
The levers being manipulated to ensure that result are spurring a debate at the edges of the parties over finding the balance between political pragmatism and the exigencies of the democratic process.
"People who feel that Mr. Schaffer doesn't offer to them what they want in the candidate of their choice as a Republican, it cuts them out of the system very neatly," said Marcy Morrison, Colorado's insurance commissioner and a Republican moderate.
Bill Kaufman, another moderate and a former Republican state legislator, was more blunt about Rule 11 and the willingness of party leaders to knight a candidate: "The party will come to rue the day they ever adopted that rule."
Party leaders see powerful advantages to forgoing primaries and say that the trend has gained momentum nationally in recent campaign cycles. Analysts say Democrats honed the strategy in their 2006 takeover of the U.S. House of Representatives as national party leaders aggressively recruited candidates even as they persuaded inconvenient competitors to step aside.
But subverting primaries also carries dangerous risks, some experts say, including alienating swaths of the rank and file who don't feel they've had a fair fight for the direction of their party.
Progressives in Colorado have been hounding Udall for weeks, showing up at fundraisers and news conferences to demand that he call for immediate withdrawal from Iraq and endorse universal health care.
That follows several election cycles in which Democratic leaders backed a series of moderate candidates, while persuading challengers to step aside — including Udall, who in the space of two days in 2004 announced and then withdrew his candidacy for the U.S. Senate in favor of Ken Salazar.
"I think dialogue and discussion about issues is actually good for the party and good for the election. Voters need to have choices," said Benner, an art teacher from Anton who said that despite the party's entreaties, he'll decide before Christmas whether to make a primary run against Udall. Among the issues he wants to raise in a campaign is the impeachment of President Bush.
But that dialogue also has costs, Waak, the Democratic Party chairwoman, said.
"I used to be very much a believer in primaries," Waak said, "but then you look at what happened to Ed Perl mutter," who ran for and won a congressional seat last year.
"He spent $1 million battling a primary opponent, then had to start all over in the general. I just think that money could have been better spent going after the Republicans," she said.
Risks for Republicans
For Republicans, the potential land mines in knighting a candidate could be more perilous still.
National GOP leaders recognize that Colorado Republicans are battered and divided. Primaries in the 2004 Senate race and the gubernatorial race two years later turned into slugfests between the party's factions. And the GOP fought bitterly over Referendum C in 2005, with one wing of the party labeling it as the biggest tax hike in Colorado history, the other viewing it as the only way to keep the state's higher education and transportation systems from collapse.
By anointing Schaffer, the party avoids another divisive battle and — party leaders hope — gains time to let the wounds heal. But they've also picked a candidate squarely aligned with the party's conservative wing in an era when Colorado politics are trending toward the center.
"The party's badly split, to be honest. The traditional fiscal Republicans are interested in some things and what I call the 'new Republicans' are interested in social issues, and the two groups don't match up," said Kaufman, the three-time chairman of the Larimer County Republican Party.
Whether that resentment boils over into significant problems will probably turn on whether invoking Rule 11 looks to the majority in the GOP like necessary party discipline or the appointing of a candidate by party elites.
Schaffer is betting the need for unity will trump any concerns about the process.
Schaffer said he sat down with party leaders sometime after Scott McInnis — a former five-term congressman — withdrew his name from the Senate race in March. At the time, several other names were still being mentioned as potential candidates — Colorado Attorney General John Suthers, radio talk-show host Dan Caplis and former Lt. Gov. Jane Norton, among others.
Schaffer said he made it clear that he'd run only if the party invoked Rule 11, backing him early and fully. An agreement making it official was signed May 24, freeing the national party and the National Republican Senatorial Committee to begin backing Schaffer with advice and money. (The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee has no equivalent process, but a spokesman for the DSCC said the committee is free to back any candidate it likes before a primary.)
"Everybody is kind of fascinated that Republicans are finally getting their act together," Schaffer said. "But the truth is that the Democrats have a long history of focusing on the end game right from the start.
"I'm not opposed to primaries," he said. But "after successive years of division, there is a consensus among Republican leaders that you can't do that in '08 and expect to have a chance."
Feeling pressure not to run
Delta County Commissioner Wayne Wolf said the Rule 11 endorsement and the strong feeling within the party that a primary was too dangerous were significant factors in withdrawing from the Senate race after first announcing his decision to challenge Schaffer this fall. He said he first became aware of the Rule 11 endorsement in October after he began exploring a run.
"As I was campaigning, I ran into a very strong sentiment about being pragmatic at the present time," Wolf said.
"Sometime as humans, we look at the crisis. Well, we're not getting our (candidates) elected, so we try and deal with that quickly, as opposed to looking at what's important. And what's important is we're a government of the people, by the people and for the people.
"There are rather prominent people who feel their opinion doesn't matter, and that's alarming," Wolf said.
