the interpersonal relationships of those with HIV (see Derlega & Barbee, 1998a; Greene & Serovich, 1998).
One key feature that needs to be understood to address HIV issues is the process of disclosing about an HIV diagnosis. People report great stress around disclosure decisions (e.g., Holt et al., 1998), and the actual revelation itself can become an added trauma (Limandri, 1989). Vazquez-Pacheco (2000) described the dilemma:
So when exactly do you bring it up? When do you talk about serostatus? Is there ever a good time to talk about it?… When to have that disclosure discussion remains one of the most difficult decisions for an individual to make in this epidemic, (p. 22)
Not all people with HIV disclose their infection (see chap. 3), but failure to disclose has potential to harm the self, others, and close relationships. Disclosure of HIV status is crucial for both the individual's health and broader health prevention efforts. The goal of this book is to bring together a wide spectrum of information from research literature and organize it into a cohesive framework to generate new questions and identify critical issues about HIV disclosure. One way to provide an organizational structure is to use a theoretical formulation to synthesize research findings in a systematic fashion. We depend on the theory of communication privacy management (CPM) in this book to give us a way to understand the choices that people diagnosed with HIV make about disclosing this information to others (Petronio, 2002). Using a theoretical foundation gives us a way to organize existing information in a more meaningful way to establish additional paths for new research endeavors and more fully understand the existing information. By doing this, we can help those with HIV and those who try to help people with HIV come to some understanding of practical approaches they might take to cope with this disease. This introduction reviews HIV and AIDS statistics, addresses what constitutes disclosure, describes the importance of disclosure, overviews the chapters in the book, and finally reviews the interviews used for the book. First, we turn to a profile of the epidemic worldwide and in the United States.
The United Nations Program on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) and the World Health Organization (WHO) reported that through the end of 2001 there were an estimated 40 million people living with HIV around the world (UNAIDS/WHO, 2001). The majority of these HIV cases are in developing countries (95%). There were nearly 3 million AIDS-related deaths estimated in 2001, with nearly 22 million people worldwide who have died from AIDS (Sepkowitz, 2001). Despite earlier estimates predicting the HIV epidemic would peak by 2000, the latest calculations announced at the XIV annual Conference on AIDS in Barcelona, Spain in July of 2002 indicated AIDS will cause an additional 65 million deaths by 2020.

From what I've read, the opening 10 minutes of the NBC drama Trauma — and say that five times fast — is the greatest introduction to a TV show ever. It cures cancer, tames global warming and reveals the secrets behind "Lost."
Okay, maybe it doesn't do the last thing, but still!
Seriously, NBC has had great success with emergency medicine shows going back to Emergency! — the one with the exclamation point — and, of course, the long-running ER.
Audio Excerpt: "I keep hearing, 'Okay, that's a pretty amazing way to start things. How are you going to keep up with it week after week?' Television isn't the realm of the timid. Setting the bar really, really high for yourself… I embrace it."
Dario Scardapane is the creator and executive producer of Trauma, which, all kidding aside, is one of the most talked about dramas of the new TV season. And Scardapane brings an unusual background to this show. Instead of being a Hollywood set rat, he's a former journalist who has worked at Vogue, the Los Angeles Times, Details, and US Magazine.
Detach into a separate window
Cliff Curtis and Aimee Garcia star in NBC's Trauma, Mondays at 9 p.m.

"Boca Chica" Top 5 Page for this destination Boca Chica by alfredop
Boca Chica Travel Guide: 22 reviews and 39 photos
30 kilometers east of Santo Domingo, Boca Chica is the best beach destination for somebody staying at Santo Domingo.
The old Hamaca Hotel is still the heart of the beach despite several other options available there.
Boca Chica offers clear waters, slow currents, a yacht club and marina, nearby golf at San Andrés and excellent seafood restaurants.
Because this resort town is conveniently-located close to the airport and the capital city of Santo Domingo.
Fly in to Las Americas airport and in 15 minutes you can go wading into a natural giant swimming pool. This makes it a good choice for families with small children.
Boca Chica beach is a reef-protected lagoon of tranquil blue waters and powder-white sand. One can wade out 100 yards from shore into glassy waters and still be only waist deep with nothing but soft clean sand underfoot. It's the perfect beach for small children because there are no waves and no deep waters. Boca Chica is crowded on Sundays when capital city dwellers make the half hour commute to the beach, returning home at dusk. The rest of the week, the sand and sun is for the tourists.
One can find just about everything in Boca Chica, making it one of the most complete of the ungated beach towns in the country. There are hotels and dining for every budget, great night life, proximity to the airport and capital, yet it's still small enough to build relationships.
Boca Chica is a "shopping beach" because pleasant Dominican vendors wander the beach or sell from their shops on the main street that runs parallel to the beach. While tanning, you can haggle over silver jewelry and paintings, or get your hair braided in corn rows. No heavy pressure. Just people trying to get a few of your tourist dollars.

I went to the Coral Hammaca on June 15Th for 8 days. We had a great time however the hotel needs at least 10million dollars to repair the rooms.They gave us a different room after the one they gave us was in such bad shape.

The driver of a Saturn was transported to a local hospital after running a stoplight near the Clark County Fairgrounds and colliding with a dump truck Monday afternoon, officials said.
Few details were released, but here's what is known:
Fire District 6, AMR and the Clark County Sheriff's Office responded at 4:03 p.m. to Northeast 10th Avenue and Northeast 179th Street, where the Saturn was off the road, said Battalion Chief Bryan Baum of Fire District 6.
The driver of the Saturn was given a citation for running the stoplight. A passenger in the Saturn started to walk down the street, got into another car and left the scene, said Sgt. K.C. Kasberg with the sheriff's office. Apparently, she had a warrant out for her arrest, Kasberg said.
The names of those involved were not released.

Kishore Jayabalan, Director of Istituto Acton in Rome, was tapped by BBC World News last week for his analysis of the meeting between Pope Francis and President Obama at the Vatican. We've got the video, and you can watch it below.
In today's New York Post, Acton's Michael Matheson Miller discusses Pope Francis' views on poverty, in light of the pope's upcoming meeting with President Obama. Miller reminds the reader that the pope is not an economist or a politician. Trying to view him through that type of lens is a mistake, says Miller.
Pope Francis is not an economist or technocrat laying out policy; nor does he see the government as the primary solution to all of our problems. He is a pastor exhorting us to take seriously the "joy of the Gospel" and to integrate it into every aspect of our lives, including economics.
I think it is fair to say that some of the pope's words on economics lacked precision, yet his comments about the corrosive effects of consumerism and the exclusion of the poor are incisive.
Miller acknowledges that the pope remains skeptical about free markets, which is problematic, given how much free markets have to offer the poor.
In La Cava, an impoverished neighborhood on the outskirts of Buenos Aires, I spoke with a pastor and a local city councilman. They explained that within La Cava there is no private property, and no rule of law. The police don't even go inside, but only drive around the perimeter. (more…)
Acton Institute Director of Research Samuel Gregg joins hosts John Hall and Kathy Emmons on It's The Ride Home on Pittsburgh's 101.5 FM WORD to discuss President Obama's scheduled visit this week in Rome with Pope Francis. Gregg notes the differences in worldview between Francis and Obama, and contrasts the likely relationship between the current pope and president with the more well-known relationship between an earlier pope and president, John Paul II and Reagan. You can listen to the interview using the audio player below.
I won't bother reviewing all the details of the Hobby Lobby case before the Supreme Court regarding the HHS mandate (you can do more reading here, here and here.) I'd like to talk about why this issue is of particular interest for women, and why the voices of all women need to be heard.
The organization Women Speak For Themselves has been vocal in the fight against the HHS mandate. They want to make it known that the call for universal access to birth control and abortion via employee health insurance is not supported by all women, and that women from every walk of life deserve to be heard.
We are Democrats, Republicans and Independents. Many, at some point in our careers, have worked for a Catholic institution. We are proud to have been part of the religious mission of that school, or hospital, or social service organization. We are proud to have been associated not only with the work Catholic institutions perform in the community – particularly for the most vulnerable — but also with the shared sense of purpose found among colleagues who chose their job because, in a religious institution, a job is always also a vocation. (more…)
What is the President's budget?
Technically, it's only a budget request—a proposal telling Congress how much money the President believes should be spent on the various Cabinet-level federal functions, like agriculture, defense, education, etc.
Why does the President submit a budget to Congress?
The Congressional Budget Act of 1974 requires that the President of the United States submit to Congress, on or before the first Monday in February of each year, a detailed budget request for the coming federal fiscal year, which begins on October 1.
If it's due the first Monday in February, why are we just now hearing about it?
President Obama turned in his budget late—again. This will be Obama's fifth late budget submission in five years, making him the first President to present three consecutive late budgets. According to the House Budget Committee, "All presidents from Harding to Reagan's first term met the statutory budget submission deadline in every year." Reagan and Clinton both missed their deadlines once in eight years.
What is the function of the President's budget request?
The President's annual budget request serves three functions:
There are, according to Christian teaching, 7 deadly sins: wrath, greed, sloth, pride, lust, envy, and gluttony. Unchecked, these dark places in the human heart will lead to the ultimate death of Hell (yes, some of us still believe in that.)
There is much discussion today about "income inequality." President Obama has declared it the most important issue of our time. He says it is not about equal incomes, but equal opportunity, referencing the rise of Abraham Lincoln from poverty to presidency. CNN is now declaring such inequality "the great destroyer" and notes that it includes not just opportunity, but wealth and income as well.
I am left wondering: has "income inequality" become code for "envy?"
John Zmirak, in a piece from Crisis, asks us to test our envy, and I think it's a good idea. First, let's be clear as to what envy truly is. St. Thomas Aquinas breaks it down into four parts, and it is the fourth that really drives home the point: (more…)
In a lengthy interview in the Daily Caller, Acton Research Director Samuel Gregg picks up many of the themes in his terrific new book, Becoming Europe: Economic Decline, Culture, and How America Can Avoid a European Future. Here's an excerpt:
Daily Caller: In what ways do you think the U.S. has become like Europe?
Samuel Gregg: If you think about the criteria I just identified, it's obvious that parts of America — states like California, Illinois, and New York — have more-or-less become European. Likewise, the fact that most federal government expenditures are overwhelmingly on welfare programs replicates the situation prevailing throughout Western Europe. Then there is the unwillingness on the part of many Americans to accept that we cannot go on this way. It is one thing to have problems. But it's quite another to refuse to acknowledge them.
Daily Caller: What's so bad about becoming like Europe? It's not that bad of a place. It's not like becoming like North Korea, right?
Samuel Gregg: I lived and studied in Europe for several years. So I can report that there is much to like! But even leaving aside many European nations' apparent willingness to settle for long-term economic stagnation, I would argue that it's becoming harder and harder to be a free person in Europe. By that, I don't mean a re-emergence of the type of socialist regimes that controlled half of Europe for 50 years. Rather I have in mind two things. (more…)

Get live coverage of the Ron Paul rally on our new Politics site and follow The Columbian's Twitter feed @the columbian.
Ron Paul's visit to Vancouver on Thursday will be one of several stops he'll make on his Northwest campaign tour.
The Republican presidential hopeful will speak at the Vancouver Convention Center at 4 p.m. Thursday during a political rally that opens to the public at 3 p.m. The convention center is at the Hilton Vancouver Washington, 301 W. Sixth St.
Paul, a Congressman from Texas and a libertarian, advocates for limited, constitutional government. He is running against former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich, and Rick Santorum, a former U.S. senator from Pennsylvania.
Paul will be jetting to Vancouver from Twin Falls, Idaho, where he'll host a similar event at noon.
After he concludes his speech at about 5 p.m. in Vancouver, he'll head up to a rally near the Sea-Tac Airport. On Friday, he'll be on the eastern side of the state in the Tri-Cities, and more stops could still be announced, according to his campaign.
Paul appears to have a strong local base. In April 2008, Paul's highly organized supporters swamped the Clark County Republican Convention, winning 71 of 89 delegate seats to the state convention.
In the 2008 race, two of three delegates and two of three alternates to the national convention from Southwest Washington's 3rd Congressional District pledged to Paul. Arizona Sen. John McCain won the party's nomination.
Paul's political rivals also have their sights set on Washington state. Santorum was in Tacoma on Monday and Romney plans to visit Seattle on March 1. Republican precinct caucuses in the state take place March 3.
Paul's Vancouver rally on Thursday is a free event.

Pineal cyst/symptomatic ball valve hydrocephalus, variable rare lethality;---------------------. Symptomatic glial cysts of the pineal gland; Small asymptomatic cysts of the pineal gland represent a common incidental finding in adults undergoing computerized tomography or magnetic resonance (MR) imaging or at postmortem examination; In contrast, large symptomatic pineal cysts are rare, being limited to individual case reports or small series; The authors have reviewed 24 cases of large pineal cysts. The mean patient age at presentation was 28.7 years (range 15 to 46 years); 18 were female and six male; Presenting features in 20 symptomatic cases included: headache in 19; nausea and/or vomiting in seven; papilledema in five; visual disturbances in five (diplopia in three, "blurred vision" in two, and unilateral partial oculomotor nerve palsy in one); Parinaud"s syndrome in two; hemiparesis in one; hemisensory aberration in one; and seizures in one; Four lesions were discovered incidentally; Magnetic resonance imaging typically demonstrated a 0_8- to 3_0-cm diameter mass (mean 1_7 cm) with homogeneous decreased signal intensity on T1-weighted images, increased signal intensity on T2-weighted images, and a distinct margin; Hydrocephalus was present in eight cases [40%]; The cysts were surgically excised via an infratentorial/supracerebellar approach (23 cases) or stereotactically biopsied (one case); Histological examination revealed a cyst wall 0_5 to 2_0 mm thick comprised of three layers: an outer fibrous layer, a middle layer of pineal parenchymal cells with variable calcification, and an inner layer of hypocellular glial tissue often exhibiting Rosenthal fibers and/or granular bodies; Evidence of prior hemorrhage, mild astrocytic degenerative atypia, and disorganization of pineal parenchyma were often present; Postoperative follow-up review in all 24 cases (range 3 months to 10 years) revealed no complications in 21, mild ocular movement deficit in one, gradually resolving Parinaud"s syndrome in one, and radiographic evidence of a postoperative venous infarct of the superior cerebellum with ataxia of 1 week"s duration in one; Of the patients referred for study, the cysts were most often initially misdiagnosed as a pineocytoma in eight and a pilocytic astrocytoma in three; Only two patients were correctly diagnosed as having pineal cysts; This stresses the importance of recognizing the histopathological spectrum of pineal cysts, as well as correlation with radiographic findings, if a correct diagnosis is to be attained; [PubMed/Mayo Clinic 2004]

Customer: This 15' HDMI cable is $4.99 at Amazon. Yours $68.99. Price match?
BBY Employee: I'm sorry, we can't because we don't sell that brand.
Customer: Okay then . This 15' DVI cable by ADaysTech for $5.99 at Amazon?
BBY Employee: Sorry, don't carry that brand either. Hey, for $30 more, you're already here, right? Somebody has to pay for shopping in a electronics Colosseum!
BBY Emplyoee: Sorry, similar TV different model number.
customer: On your website these camera accessories are much cheaper than your price in the store. All together, $60 cheaper. Price match?
BBY Employee: Well, let's take a look. Yes, those are "marketplace" items and we don't price match those. Sorry. Welcome to the NEW BEST BUY.
Sentiment: Strong Sell
Customer Note to self: If I see something cheap on Best Buys website, I don't need to go to Best Buy to buy it. I can order it on line. Duh.
Geeze. LOL
Customer: I was in here 3 weeks ago and bought this HP laptop...
BBY Employee: Mam, let me stop you there, nothing we can do for you. 15 days now. welcome to the "New Best Buy"!
Customer on phone to friend:...Yeah, I went over there, left with nothing. Most brands of accessories not in stores, so they couldn't even price match their own website! Told me that I could come back and pick up my online order or have it shipped to my door. Why bother going to store in first place? And then I find out they have new 15 day return policy!
Friend: But, been reading that analysts like Joly and "NEW RENEW BLUE". : )
Remember buy low, sell high and if you are shorting you do the opposite. No one gets in at the bottom and sells at the top and no one shorts at the top and covers (or doesn't cover) at $0 and if they do on occasion it's more like a squirrel finding a nut every once in a while.
Good luck trading and with your investments.
Dear Holly, even though you may be right on the end why not give it a rest? You are even replying to your own posts now. Weekdays, nights, weekends. When do you sleep? I hope you are not a paid poster but the sheer numbers make it look that way. And you are a good poster but momentum is not in your favor. And if I can think of ways to use the big blue boxes besides sell quality consumer electronic s that will drive traffic of customers into their stores, surely mr. Shultze and Mr. Joly can too. Holly for the sake of the cities, the employers, the employees, the customers and industry in general better hope the longs are right and the innovativeness and creativity in our country can survive this "cheaper at any cost" mentality. ( and I don't need another lecture on capitalism ) with respect for your persistence , proliferation but not your lack of optimism.
Goodwill!! : )

I know it's been covered before, but today's stage 5 winner, Mark Cavendish, tucks it in. Makes it hard to wear bibs (favorite of all of my cycling apparel). Perhaps weight weenie? You would think, but not with those Pcad-esque socks. Not as baggy, but certainly as tall as Michael Cooper's socks when he played for the 80's Lakers.
Posted here because, although it is a TDF image, tucking in your jersey has been covered in this forum. Ok for racers, but not for the everyman?

|Drogon Owner - Enchanted Grounds
In the fall of 2009 Dave Dostaler GMed the first PFS game played in the Denver area of Colorado (that I am aware of). A group of fresh faced Pathfinders played through scenario #1, Silent Tide that evening, fending off an invasion from the past. I am proud to note that I was part of that game. He did this deed at my store, Enchanted Grounds in Denver, Colorado, launching an organized play system that has grown the store's community and brought it closer together at the same time.
Last night, nearly three years later, he GMed his 100th game, earning his fourth star. I am thrilled to let you all know about this accomplishment. Thank you, Dave, for all you've done. This store wouldn't have the presence it has without what you started that night three years ago.
Congratulations, Dave, on an awesome accomplishment!

yep heard the same... varying dates from as soon as September 2010 although that seems early given the 180 ADRs (although it hasnt stopped them cancelling aDRs in the past)
Signature experience, menu change, price increase and of course 2 dining plan credits

Since the dress code isn't enforced any way it probably won't matter. However, since it is in the park, I don't think they will have one. Bistro de Paris doesn't have one either I don't believe and it is head and shoulders above any other restaurant at EPCOT IMHO.

If they do increase the prices more to a par with some of the other signature restaurants them hopefully it will make it easier to make a reservation.
It may also cut down on the number of unruly children and their parents with a "couldn`t care less" attitude that I hear have been making life a misery for other diners there.
Amen, brother. Amen!Originally Posted by Slowhand, post: 212851
Please explain to me how one puts a five year olds hands in time out?
Just his hands mind you. The rest of him is free to kick the other diners as much as he'd like! :mad:
Tom (... they could stand to improve the service also!)
Le Cellier will have to improve their food offerings and service before making it a signature restaurant.
Bistro does have a bit of a recommended dress code. Most guests do change from park attire before going there. I don't know of any place that enforces dress codes other than to ask a male guest to remove a ball cap (just happened over at the Yachtsman).
I think if dress codes are going to be enforced, then the restaurants have to measure up to a place that "deserves" a dress code. Otherwise, they should just be taken down as it's silly to have a policy that is not applied.
Indeed! The person asked to remove his cap at YSH was quite put out about it too, and very rude (reportedly as per his dinner partner) for the remainder of the evening, not liking anything, blah, blah, blah.
If you don't want to remove your hat, fine! That is your "right" (where is that in the consitution, eh? ). Just recognize that the restaurant doesn't have to allow you in either.
Can you imagine "poor Disney?" They start with a simple request... Men remove hats upon entering the dining room... and get all sorts of unpleasant responses.
No wonder they don't enforce much of anything!
absolutely!Originally Posted by Slowhand, post: 212864
There are any number of places to go and wear whatever, so why they feel the need to pollute the nice places is beyond me.

So after much thought, I've opted against a single-speed for my next build. (I'm converting my current MTB to SS after I build a new commuter/distance bike instead.)
I was looking at CX bikes initially, but I like the relaxed geometry and all-day-in-the-saddle overall comfort of a touring bike. I'm not concerned on the weight, since I'm riding a 30+ pound monster right now, and I'm not exactly a lightweight myself. Having the range of gearing that a touring rig offers will give me the chance to outfit with racks and do some weekend camping tours that a singlespeed build would not.
I don't have the technical expertise or desire to build everything up from a frame, so the two bikes that I'm considering now are the Jamis Aurora and the Surly LHT (complete). The mix of components seems about equivalent, but I've been out of the loop for a long time on buying new parts. The Aurora is a mix of Tiagra and SRAM (mostly) with an FSA crank, while the LHT is a mix of Tiagra and XT (mostly) with a Sugino crank. Both have 36h rims, but which is better: Alex ACE19 on Tiagra hubs or Alex Adventurer on XT hubs?
What's the advantage/disadvantage argument on the shifting setups: bar-end on the LHT, integrated shifters/levers on the Aurora?
Does anyone know the max tire clearance w/ fenders on the Aurora?
<edit>*Do either of these bikes have components that immediately scream "Not for Clydesdale use"?
Does anyone know the pricing on the LHT?
<edit> *This is really why I posted this thread here, and not in the Touring forum. Everyone here seems to be educated on what will and will not stand up to the abuse we can dish out.

- " Nice and friendly place. Our hosts were very gracious and spent a lot of time making sure we were oriented in Liverpool. The only negative thing to note was that outlets were tough to come by in our 12 person room. However, the hostel was not busy during our stay so it was not a problem for us. The hostel is located in a very quiet, central area. Quick hint: we found delta cabs to be very cheap. Les than 3 pound3rd from the hostel to the train station! "

Nick Waterhouse: HollyBlack VinylVinyl LP Record
Price: $19.99
Add to cart
Product Details
Producers: Kevin Augunas; Nick Waterhouse
SummaryNick Waterhouse's art springs from a simple idea: everybody wants to be somebody else. One of his heroes, Van Morrison, got his start covering Bobby Bland, whose own musical idol was Nat "King" Cole. In Waterhouse's view, emulation is a journey; you never truly succeed, but as the singer, guitarist and songwriter puts it, "You become something on the way there."
Nick was born in 1986 and grew up in Huntington Beach, known predominantly for UFC, commercial surf culture, and tanning salons. He established his musical sensibilities in the middle of the burgeoning southern California Psych-Garage scene (Burger records, Ty Segall, McHugh's Distillery studio) while retaining his unique perspective on the spirit of American Rhythm & Blues and Rock & Roll.
Waterhouse started performing as a teenager. "It was really motivated by fear," he recalls. "I'm kind of an introvert, so it was an uncomfortable situation. It was a way to force a crisis." The young artist experienced an exhilaration he'd never felt before, and hasn't found anywhere else since. "It's a feeling of heightened awareness that goes beyond pleasure," Waterhouse explains. "It has something to do with seeing ahead in time and behind in time all at once. You don't just get the immediate reward; you get the potential that rewards you the same way."
Waterhouse explored the idea of potential on his breakthrough single, "Some Place," a beautifully lean, propulsive track recorded at all-analog studio the Distillery and self released in 2010 on his own Pres label. "Well, there's someplace that I'd rather be," Waterhouse sang in a fierce yet plaintive register. "And it's something that's been on my mind almost constantly."
These days, Waterhouse is a successful recording artist, with one well-received LP and several high-profile tours and collaborations to his name. But his latest work still embodies the struggle of his early forays. During "This Is a Game," Waterhouse sets up a snarly, post-surf guitar solo with a succinct statement of a cynical outlook: "This is a game / Please remember my words / And don't get upset when you don't get what you think you deserve." And on the gothic-soul strut "Let It Come Down," he meditates on the inevitability of pain. "If there's gonna be rain tonight," he sings in a stoic croon. "Let it come down."
It's clear from this material that Waterhouse is in the midst of his own becoming. He isn't the type to let ecstasy take over, like Van Morrison, or to drawl away in a consummately laid-back register, like Mose Allison. In the tension between his wry lyrics and crisp arrangements, you hear the expression of a worldly skeptic who's also-when it comes to his art-a sanctified believer. Whoever it was that Nick Waterhouse wanted to be matters less now; these days, he just sounds like himself.

What would it have to take? How bad would it have to get before we stand up to defend what we love? Locally, resistance continues to grow in opposition to the plans by Ambre Energy to export coal to Asia through our community. The outlandish proposal is to move 3.5 million metric tons of dirty coal by barge down the Columbia River to a terminal in St. Helens, Ore. Few should have to speculate as to the massive destruction this would leave on our community and planet.
As corporations like Ambre continue to threaten and block serious reform and regulation in their relentless quest for short-term profits, it leaves citizens with few alternatives.
We can no longer wait passively. We fight on behalf of the Earth and our children and grandchildren. Join the opposition at the public hearing at Clark College's Gaiser Student Center on Dec. 12 at 4 p.m.

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey Board of Commissioners adopted a $2.9-billion Operating Budget and a $3.6-billion Capital Budget. Combined, together with debt service, the budget for 2015 totals $7.8 billion.
United Transportation Union Sheet Metal, Air, Rail and Transportation Workers (UTU-SMART) President John Previsich testified before the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation's Subcommittee on Surface Transportation and Merchant Marine Infrastructure, Safety and Security Dec. 10 at the Russell Senate Office Building.
The hearing focused on the current state of intercity passenger rail in the United States, the need to invest for future growth and implications for future legislative action. It was presided over by Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), chairman of the subcommittee.
Previsich called on the committee and Congress as a whole to present a long-term vision for passenger rail that includes predictable, dedicated sources of funding.
"Public investment in our nation's passenger rail system is truly an investment in our nation's future. Passenger rail is a critical part of our national transportation infrastructure, an important driver of our national and regional economies and is a middle-class job creator," Previsich said.
"I can speak to this matter from personal experience. In my capacity as a union representative, I have been involved on passenger rail properties from coast to coast that have leveraged various forms of public funding to provide excellent quality service to the communities through which they operate.
"In my home state of California, I have watched Caltrain in the San Francisco Bay Area leverage a combination of local and federal funding to revitalize the service and move from a low of 5,500 boardings per day when operated by a private enterprise to the current figure of over 53,000 boardings per day.
"In my home county of Santa Cruz, Calif., a planning process is already underway to identify transit corridors that will reduce the number of daily auto trips, decrease our use of fossil fuels and promote more affordable housing. All across America, communities are relying on transit funding to invest in strategic planning that will pay back the investment many times over through job creation, community stimulus, an increased tax base and better utilization of local resources," he continued.
He said that it is important to note that for more than 100 years prior to the creation of www.amtrak.comAmtrak, passenger rail service was provided by private railroads. For at least 40 years prior to public funding, the private rail carriers were unable to provide passenger rail service without sustaining significant financial losses. It was because private operators were unable to continue to provide that service without sustaining huge losses that Amtrak was formed.
"Amtrak was created to save rail passenger service in America, but it must be remembered that the creation of Amtrak was also intended to save our freight rail industry from economic ruin," explained Previsch. "America's railroads were losing $1 billion per year providing passenger service just prior to the creation of Amtrak. That is $10 billion in today's dollars. Had Amtrak not been established, America's rail system would have financially collapsed."
Today, he says, Americans support and want more passenger rail.
"Unfortunately, this comes at a time when inadequate federal funding has caused our nation's passenger rail system to age and deteriorate. As Amtrak's annual budget requests have established, its aging fleet needs replacing and the system needs significant renovations to tracks, bridges, tunnels and other infrastructure. Meanwhile, the rest of the world – most notably China – is investing heavily in modern and efficient passenger rail infrastructure, leaving American competitiveness, and American workers, further and further behind."
Earlier this year, the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee reported out the Passenger Rail Reform and Investment Act (PRRIA) of 2014. Unions supported this measure. The four-year bill does many important things that will help strengthen the national passenger rail network. However, Previsch says, it does not provide Amtrak with the funding levels required to meet the needs of an aging system.
"Most of all, it does not establish a predictable, dedicated funding source so Amtrak and our communities can adequately plan for future investments," he stated.
The next passenger rail reauthorization should build on the framework established by PRIIA 2008 and should include dedicated, adequate funding to upgrade and operate the Northeast Corridor and to operate the regional and long-distance trains that make up our national system, he says.
"I want to emphasize one point. Our union is not opposed to private enterprise," he explained. "The bulk of our membership works for privately held freight railroads and overall we have good relationships with those companies."
Passenger rail reauthorization is an opportunity to make needed investments in a critical segment of our transportation system, Previsch noted.
"I look forward to working with the members of this committee on the timely passage of a bill that establishes dedicated long-term passenger rail funding, supports the jobs and rights of our skilled and dedicated rail employees, rejects unwanted and ill-advised privatization proposals and lays out a national rail policy that is integrated with America's multi-modal transportation needs."
Chairman of Amtrak's Board of Directors Anthony Coscia provided a testimony as well, urging Congress to provide predictable and dedicated funding.
Previsch's full testimony can be found here.
The California Transportation Commission (CTC) allocated more than $254 million for 41 transportation projects that it says will enhance the safety and mobility of Californians throughout the state. The allocation includes $102 million for rail projects.
The N.C. Department of Transportation's Rail Division has made crossing safety improvements at two intersections in Pitt County, at two intersections near Marion and at an intersection in Onslow County.
According to Chairman of Amtrak's Board of Directors Anthony Coscia, Congress should focus on ways to unlock intercity passenger rail's potential by providing predictable, dedicated funding to develop and implement capital investments for the Northeast Corridor (NEC) and other rail corridors between America's major metropolitan areas.
In New Mexico, Rail Runner has made safety improvements at crossings in Santa Fe, following a collaborative four-month review of the crossings by Rio Metro Regional Transit District, the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), the New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT), the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission (PRC) and the city of Santa Fe.
The first light-rail vehicle traveled on the Foothill Gold Line December 9, kicking off the testing phase of the line, which will connect Pasadena and Azusa, Calif.

1. Everyday Paleo 2. Eat Like a Dinosaur 3. Paleo Indulgences 4. Well Fed
You've decided the Paleo diet is for you and want to go old school and buy a couple of Paleo cookbooks. You can not go wrong with the four listed above. I break them our pretty regularly to help beat diet boredom and I have yet to find a bad recipe in these books.
These cook books look great and I'll have to check them out!
Number 3 appeals to me. Of course, so do your recipes!
I am going to have to choose one and check it out! I have been thinking of going paleo for some time now.
Definitely going to give these a try, it would be awesome to have a go to resource for Paleo cooking nearby.
It makes me so happy that there are always resources for no matter what kind of diet lifestyle one chooses!
Thanks for the suggestions! We just got an allergy test for my daughter and, while she showed no sensitivity to milk, she MAY be allergic to wheat, soy, sesame, and corn – all toughies to avoid. I might need these recipes sooner rather than later!
These look like awesome books. I'm seriously considering trying Paleo out, but I'm worried about all the meat (there is a lot of meat eating involved right?) I'm not a HUGE fan of meat.
im starting to think if I'm ever going to change it up in the kitchen I need a cook book to help me along
Great list of cookbooks, thanks!
I got Well Fed for mother's day!
Thanks for the suggestions! I'll definitely have to check some of these out!
I'm definitely going to have to check these out! Any paleo dish I make usually comes from your site 😉
I don't do Paleo but it seems that everyone else does. LOL! I just tweeted this out with the #Paleo hashtag to my followers!
When I first heard about the paleo diet, it seemed like there were so many limitations. It's nice to see entire cookbooks dedicated to it!
I'm getting a few books at my library. Will see if they have these 🙂
My sister recently started eating paleo, so I'll have to share this with her. Thanks!
These look like great cookbooks!
I don't follow the Paleo diet but want to buy Eat Like a Dinosaur anyway solely because of the title!
Thanks I have a co-worker that was thinking of going Paleo I will have to tell her about these.
I want to get a Paleo cookbook…I've been dabbling with Paleo.
I think I may give this Paleo diet a try after I have the baby. I keep hearing nothing but good things about it.
Honestly, I don't know if I could do a strictly paleo diet, but I always love all your recipes you share. 🙂
