The low-carb, high-fat ketogenic diet can be an effective tool to manage deadly brain cancer, said scientist Dr. Adrienne C. Scheck.
In an exclusive Examiner interview, Dr. Scheck said her research suggests the ketogenic diet can be a powerful adjuvant to radiation therapy to treat brain tumors.
"Studies have shown the use of a ketogenic diet causes a reduction in blood glucose, an elevation in blood ketones, and extends life in mouse models of malignant brain tumors," said Scheck, associate professor in neuro-oncology research and the Barrow Brain Tumor Research Center at the Barrow Neurological Institute.
Keto Starves Cancer Because Cancer Cells Love Sugar
Dr. Scheck said both mice and human studies have shown the ketogenic diet can inhibit the growth of cancer cells. Our bodies use fats to make ketones.
Nearly all the cells in our body can use both ketones and glucose (a carb) for energy, but cancer cells thrive on glucose and cannot survive on ketones.
So by limiting carbohydrates (which turns into glucose inside the body), we can limit glucose availability to starve cancer cells. This tumor-inhibiting effect of the ketogenic diet may be further enhanced with calorie restriction, which lowers blood glucose and insulin levels even more.
This phenomenon was first observed in the 1920s by German physiologist Otto Warburg, who won a Nobel Prize in 1931 for discovering that cancer cells have defective mitochondria and thrive on sugar.
The "Warburg effect" can be exploited by the ketogenic diet, but this approach has historically not been used to fight cancer. But the tide is gradually turning.
At the moment, Dr. Scheck doesn't think the ketogenic diet can replace the standard of care (which includes chemotherapy and radiation), but said this may be the case in the future if optimum ways to alter metabolism for anti-cancer therapy can be found. She said the ketogenic diet enhances the cancer-fighting properties of radiation, which further buoys the diet's importance in the war on cancer.
LCHF Keto Diet More Effective on Humans Than Mice
In 2012, urologist Dr. Eugene Fine conducted a 10-patient pilot study at Montefiore Medical Center in Bronx, N.Y. The patients all had advanced cancers and agreed to follow a ketogenic diet (which for limited daily carb intake to less than 50 grams) for 28 days.
The results indicated that six of the 10 patients responded well to the ketogenic diet, meaning their cancers stabilized or showed partial remission. The best results occurred in patients who had a suppression of insulin secretion and elevation of ketones because of their low-carb, high-fat (LCHF) diet.
"Effects on insulin are an important clue to indicate which patients are likeliest to respond to this kind of diet," Dr. Fine told Examiner.
While many people dismiss ketogenic diet therapy for cancer because much of the research so far has been done on mice, Dr. Thomas Seyfried of Boston College told Examiner the ketogenic diet actually works better on humans than it does on mice.
Seyfried, a pioneer in the nutritional treatment of cancer, is 100% convinced the ketogenic diet is the best treatment for glioblastoma (the most common and malignant form of brain cancer) because his research shows cancer is a metabolic — not a genetic — disease.
"The standard of care has been an abysmal failure for brain cancer," said Dr. Seyfried, author of Cancer as a Metabolic Disease.
The ketogenic diet can replace the standard of care for brain cancer, which is absolutely survivable through metabolic therapy."
Researcher and writer Travis Christofferson agrees. "The cancer research community needs to change its view of cancer as a metabolic — not a genetic — disease in order to make meaningful progress," said Christofferson, author of Tripping Over the Truth: The Metabolic Theory of Cancer.
Anecdotal Success Stories Abound
Meanwhile, there are many anecdotal success stories of cancer patients fighting the deadly disease with the LCHF ketogenic diet.
Joe Mancaruso, a 56-year-old Texas man, told Examiner he is battling terminal lung cancer without chemotherapy using the LCHF ketogenic diet.
Similarly, Elaine Cantin discussed how she used the ketogenic diet to manage her son's type I diabetes and her own aggressive breast cancer in her book, The Cantin Ketogenic Diet.
Today, there are about a dozen studies that are investigating the use of the ketogenic diet to manage all kinds of cancer. Those results will determine whether the medical community will adopt metabolic therapy to treat cancer in the future.
In her own research, Dr. Scheck's team discovered that animals fed a ketogenic diet survived longer than those on a standard diet.
Of the mice that were fed a ketogenic diet and received radiation, 9 of 11 survived with no signs of tumor recurrence, even after being switched back to standard food, for over 200 days.
None on the standard diet survived more than 33 days."
Scheck joins a growing number of cancer scientists (including Dr. Thomas Seyfried and Dr. Dominic D'Agostino of the University of South Florida) who say the clinical implementation of the ketogenic diet as a viable treatment should be seriously considered.
"The animal model data strongly suggest that the ketogenic diet may be a highly effective adjuvant to the current standard of care for malignant brain tumors," said Scheck.
Cancer researchers say a major advantage to ketogenic diet therapy is it's not expensive like chemo, nor does it drastically reduce the patient's quality of life. The diet can also easily be added into current brain tumor treatment without the red tape of FDA approval. Dr. Scheck is currently conducting clinical trials to explore the efficacy of ketogenic diet therapy.

For the second time in the last week, Iowa junior point guard Samantha Logic has garnered national recognition.
Logic, a first-team all-Big Ten selection, was named to an honorable mention All-American by the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) on Saturday.
The recognition follows a previous honorable mention All-American honor to Logic by the Associated Press back on April 1.
Logic led the Big Ten Conference in assists this past season and was the only player in the country to average 13 or more points, six or more rebounds and seven or more assists. She also led the Big Ten in league-play assists at eight per game and steals at three per contest.
The former high school All-American is most known for collecting a near triple-double every time she steps on the floor. Logic, who was the 18th Iowa player to garner first-team all-Big Ten honors, finished third in the nation in assists per game and captured three triple-doubles. She also averaged 16.3 points, 8.4 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 2.7 steals in the Hawkeyes' 11 games against ranked foes.
Logic fell just one rebound shy of a triple-double in Iowa's first-round win over Marist in the NCAA Tournament. She also passed Cara Consuegra as the all-time career assists leader at Iowa earlier this year. Logic is now at 622 career assists, which ranks ninth in league history.

Modal Tuning for Banjos
Banjo players just love to play haunting, lonesome tunes, often called modal tunes, that sound like something that's just emerged from some deep Appalachian mountain holler. Old-time musicians have come up with a tuning that's perfect for capturing the special quality of these songs. In preparation for playing the clawhammer classic Cluck Old Hen, you need to get your banjo into modal tuning.
If your banjo is already in G tuning, you only have to retune the 2nd string, raising the pitch one fret from a B to a C, to put your banjo into modal tuning. If your banjo happens to be in double C tuning, your 2nd string is already tuned to a C pitch. In this case, simply raise your 4th string two frets from a C to a D. Your other strings are already in tune and ready to go!
To review, here are the pitches you need for modal tuning:
5th string: G (highest-pitched string)
4th string: D (lowest-pitched string)
3rd string: G
2nd string: C
1st string: D
Cluck Old Hen, shown here, begins with something new: a downward right-hand index finger brush across the top three strings of your banjo, immediately followed by the thumb playing the 5th string. This technique is often called The Galax Lick, after the small southwest Virginia town that hosts one of the oldest old-time music conventions in the world.
The key to playing the Galax lick is to move across the 3rd, 2nd, and 1st strings in an even rhythm as you play the right-hand-index brush stroke. Check out the audio track "Cluck Old Hen" in Modal Tuning and the video clip Clawhammer Banjo: Modal Tuning and "Cluck Old Hen" to hear how this technique should sound. After you get the hang of this technique, you'll find uses for it in many other tunes.

In a double-slit experiment, interference patterns are shown when light passes through the slits and illuminate the screen. So the question is, if one shoots a single photon, does the screen show interference pattern? Or does the screen show only one location that the single photon particle is at?
The answer is yes to both questions: yes, the screen does show one location for one particle and yes, the accumulated picture after repeating the experiment many, many times does show the interference pattern.
There is a set of beautiful pictures and a video of the double slit experiment in one-particle-per-time mode that can be found here (the experiment is with electron but conceptually there is no difference).
Let me try a slightly different way to answer this (well worn) question.
The photon doesn't have a location, or at least not a well defined location, until you interact with it and cause it to localise.
When the photon hits the photomultiplier, or photographic plate, or whatever you're using as the screen the interaction occurs at a point and that localises the photon. Until then it's somewhat meaningless to talk about the position of the photon. I don't mean the photon has a position but we don't know it, I mean the photon simply doesn't have a position. That's why it doesn't make sense to ask which slit the photon went through. because the photon's position is ill defined it occupies the whole experimental apparatus.
So a single photon does indeed passthrough both slits, but it then interacts with the screen at a point. The point of interaction with the screen is random, with the probability o the position being given by the square of the wavefunction. That's why over time the pattern created by many phtons gives you the interference pattern.
We don't know whether the light source shoots photons or not. We know that if we turn off power to the light source the interference pattern disappears, and that if we turn down the light intensity enough we eventually start seeing individual events, if we have the right sort of measurement apparatus. Again, if we turn off the power those individual events stop (except for the "dark rate" that is characteristic of the detector), so it's definitely the light source that is causing the individual events, but we don't know what happens in between.
It's possible to account for this simple kind of experiment using a semi-classical model in which there is an electromagnetic field between the source and the detector, and the detector current flips off and on. It's only when we consider more sophisticated experiments, in particular in which we engineer the light sources so that two or more individual events are closely synchronized in time, that we find that neither shoots photons nor there's an electromagnetic field works very well.
Consequently, we might or might not be able to satisfy the premise of "if one shoots a single photon, ...", making it not possible to answer the question with certainty with our current understanding. Nonetheless, I up-voted Slaviks Answer, because that's what is usually said.
After 2006, no philosophic duality exist, only bad pictures
As @Slaviks says, "the answer is yes to both questions", but I like the modern and experimental (!) Y. Couder interpretation. See by your self (!),
The quantum particle HAVE a location (against @Rennie says), there are no "philosofic duality", there are only a limitation in choose a good pictoric model when you is constrained by "wave or particle" picture options: Couder demonstrates that a good picture, of an "intermediary wave/particle object" model, exists!
Imagine a "localizable object" that haven't a well-defined boundary, but have a well-defined distance-limit (lambda) to interact with obstacles (other objects).
There are an article online about the experiment.

A rather nasty bug in unionfs for 2.6.16 has made installing via apt-get impossible. However, there is a workaround. You must move /var/lib/apt and /var/cache/apt to /tmp and reconfigure apt to use these new directories. A script has been released that makes this easier. Simply do:
# sh <(curl http://www.finnix.org/files/scripts/apt-get-unionfs-workaround)
This requires about 15MB of memory available, and should be done before an apt-get update, otherwise it will take up another 15MB of memory.
Let this be a lesson never to use CVS development snapshots (unionfs 1.1.3 does not compile against 2.6.16), despite the maintainers assuring that it's "stable".
This looks like a job for OVERLAY! d-: (For those who may see this and who haven't seen the page yet, look here: http://www.finnix.org/Overlays )

Model, Space Shuttle, Goodyear Meteor Jr. 3-Stage Fully Reusable Concept
In 1954, several years before spaceflight began, space enthusiast Darrell C. Romick and two other Goodyear Aircraft workers designed this model of a reusable space transportation system and displayed it at the American Rocket Society's annual conference. Three piloted, winged rocket stages nested in a column would fire in sequence to launch the third stage at the top into orbit. All had retractable landing gear and could be flown as a glider during the return to landing. Although the concept was too massive to be practical at the time, it was an early vision for a space shuttle that could ferry people and equipment to and from an Earth-orbiting space station. The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company gave this model to the Museum in 1980.

If you look closely at the emblem for the Kickstart Soccer League Oklahoma City, you will see a white soccer ball with a black puzzle piece on it. The puzzle piece represents children with autism who also can learn to play soccer.
The fourth Kickstart season and third one at NOKC Soccer Club is coming up at Field D of the club in northwest Oklahoma City, 11901 N Portland Ave. Kickstart gives children with autism, Asperger's syndrome and other related or similar conditions, a chance to learn the sport and interact with others as part of a team.
With the help of NOKC Soccer club president Gabi Noble, the cost to players is just $10 thanks to the club's affiliation with the TopSoccer program for children with special needs. Typical children are encouraged to join and can learn soccer skills, compassion and sportsmanship while serving as peer models to the other children just by playing. Metro area high school soccer teams and other volunteers have pitched in as helpers for the project the past several seasons.
This spring a sign-up day will be at 2 p.m. at the club field D on Saturday, March 10. The first day of soccer will be March 31 through May 26 with no soccer on April 14 and May 19 for club tournaments.
High school teams interested in participating this year are being sought.
For more information send an email to coach and organizer Robert Medley at email@example.com or call 405-949-1960.

Four-Step Process Designed to Measurably Reduce Companies' Total Cost of Ownership
West Caldwell, NJ, October 2, 2008 - Ricoh Professional Services (RPS) of Ricoh Americas Corporation, the leading provider of digital office equipment, today launched a new service to minimize the complexity and cost of printing in today's highly networked business environment. Managed Print Services (MPS) was created to streamline companies' current print operations by working with RPS to help reach critical business goals from a productivity and financial standpoint.The nature of printing has changed dramatically over the years. In the past, printing was simple as everyone either shared one device or had a personal printer. Now the printing landscape is more complex with multiple printers, multifunction products (MFPs), servers and drivers comprising the output environment picture. In addition, users are continuously increasing their standards in regard to results, security, sustainability and cost. To address these demands, Ricoh created the MPS offering. This flexible program makes it easy to outsource all or part of the print management process – without giving up any control over speed, quality or performance. Best of all, users only pay for actual output and work with one point of contact – an MPS expert – in order to streamline the process.Users of this program participate in a four-part process with MPS experts in order to create a package of services to help them reach their printing goals. The four stages of the process include:-Assess: Provides a detailed overview of current costs and process workflows, along with maps of output device locations-Design: Recommends a future plan based on the assessment results with specific productivity, sustainability and security measures built it-Implement: Includes the execution of the plan in order to help users realize the benefits outlined in the Design phase-Manage: Helps organizations stick to the plan and adapt to any unexpected changes – enabling projected cost-savings and productivity gains to be realizedOutsourcing all or part of the print management process helps reveal hidden costs, identify savings and significantly reduce spending on output. MPS experts work with an organization to remove underused printers, MFPs, fax machines, etc. in order to consolidate output among fewer and faster centralized systems and produce a more strategic document workflow process. In addition, overhead costs are reduced with devices that use less energy, paper and toner and users are not asked to pay any additional costs other than one monthly charge for actual page counts.In addition to lowering total cost of ownership, other benefits of MPS include sustainable solutions and security options to help protect confidential documents. Security is a main focus and benefit of the MPS program. MPS experts work behind the scenes by utilizing remote monitoring and management tools to make sure an organization's print environment is running smoothly and sensitive documents are kept confidential. Usage and workflow are closely monitored in order to achieve optimal device-to-user-rations and make sure the fleet of devices is aligned properly with actual volume. Secure printing, file encryption, and removable hard drives all support regulatory compliance initiatives and are part of the standard features that MPS provides.From an environmental standpoint, optimizing print environments can help organizations improve their corporate reputation by aligning with "green" initiatives and taking a stand in regards to saving energy, reducing paper usage and maximizing recyclables. The hardware and software that Ricoh MPS experts implement have low emissions in order to maintain air quality and protect the environment. "At Ricoh we are constantly trying to develop new programs and services to make our customers lives easier. As such, we are proud to introduce our Managed Print Services offering as it not only takes the complexity out of the printing process, but also improves bottom line results," said Carl Sills, vice president, Ricoh Professional Services, Ricoh Americas Corporation.

Eating to Live on the Outside: Fusion
This week Eating to Live on the Outside heads all the way, down the street. Yup, keeping it local today, we're checking out Fusion. Fusion serves of French/Asian cuisine. An interesting combination, but, is Fusion Fuhrman-friendly? Let's find out.
Okay, it's a mixed bag. Like this. Under specialties, I like the Kuril Salmon, but before I ordered it. I'd ask the waiter what kind of salmon it is because according to Oceans Alive, Atlantic salmon is a high contamination risk. So, I'd only go for it if it's wild salmon.
Next, I like the Roasted Tomato and Lentil soup, under potages; it's made with fire roasted tomatoes and masoor yellow daal. Honestly, beans and tomatoes are both great. I've got no issues with this one. Have you ever had daal?
There are a couple nice options under salades. The Shanghai Greens and the SumTum are rock star! Combined their prepared with fresh greens, chili truffle vinaigrette, green papaya, roasted peanuts, cherry tomatoes, and vodka citron vinaigrette. Okay, both dressings are a tiny concession, but, do as I do. Order them on the side or just skip it!
Now, I see three things I like under Mises-En-Bouche. I'm digging the Tofu Delight, Spring Roll, and the Fusion Triangles. Yup, they're not the best option. Here's why. The Tofu Delight is crispy tofu glazed with sweet chili, the Spring Rolls are your basic vegetable spring roll, and Fusion Triangles are stuffed with cinnamon spiced ground vegetables. The tofu isn't too bad, but the rolls and triangles are probably made with some sort of dough, so that makes them iffy. Neither of these are my first choice, but they hey, could be a lot worse!
The Polynesian Mahi Mahi is pretty cool. It's under Plat Principal. Mahi Mahi is an iffy fish too; be sure to check out Oceans Alive on Mahi Mahi. Okay, so provided Fusion's Mahi Mahi is safe, the Polynesian Mahi Mahi is made with meunier sauce and accompanied with sautéed bok choy—can't beat some bok choy!
Flambe Wok offers a lot of potential. I see three dishes I like. The Mekong Vegetables, Chili Paneer, and the Szechwan Tofu; combined they're prepared with stir-fried fresh vegetables, black bean sauce, sautéed fresh chilies, onions, bell peppers, light soy sauce, and tofu sautéed in an Asian sauce. Lots of good stuff here, the sautéing, frying, and soy sauce worries me, but it's a decent amount of veggies, so I can deal with it.
Okay, the lunch menu has two nice options. The Pad Ka Tiem is stir-fried tofu and vegetables glazed in a black pepper garlic sauce. I'm becoming a bigger and bigger fan of tofu. Also, the Chengdu Vegetables seems interesting. It doesn't say what vegetables are in it, but whatever they are. They're prepared in a Szechuan sauce. Yeah, not perfect, but workable.
Like I said, Fusion is a mixed bad. It's a clear cut example of how Eating to Live on the Outside goes. You've got to take the good with the bad. If you don't, you'll find yourself eating at home all the time. Now, since Fusion is close by, maybe I can coax Dr. Fuhrman into heading over to Fusion with me. I'll keep you posted. In the meantime, check out Fusion's menu and let me know how you handle Eating to Live on the Outside. Make a comment or send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com. Until then, eat well! Peace!

2013 Saluki women's golf signee Brooke Cusumano
June 26, 2013
By Tyler Wooten
MANHATTAN, Kan. -- Saluki women's golf signee Brooke Cusumano was part of the Missouri squad that won the Junior Girls Four State Championship cup on Tuesday.
The Four State Junior Girls Championship is composed of golf teams from Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa and Missouri. Scores are totaled each day, and the lowest two-day team score is declared the winner.
The Missouri team demolished the competition, winning by 38 strokes with a two-day total of 614. Cusumano, a native of St. Louis who is coming to Carbondale this fall, was tied for the second-lowest overall score of 151 -- one stroke shy of tournament medalist and teammate Jordan Chael, a 2013 signee of the University of Nebraska.
A 2013 graduate of Westminster Christian Academy, Cusumano will come to Carbondale with two individual Missouri state titles and two team titles as well -- all of which were won her junior and senior seasons. Cusumano was also honored as the 2013 St. Louis Post-Dispatch All-Metro Golfer of the Year. This is the second-straight year she has been part of the Missouri Four State team.

Review: Matrix Reloaded Powerade
Posted: Apr 17, 2003 at 12:00 AM (Last Updated: Apr 22, 2003 at 2:04 PM)Made for the release of the Matrix Reloaded movie, Matrix Reloaded powerade is a special edition variety available in summer 2003. Featuring a proprietary 32 fl oz bottle wrapped in a Matrix themed label, this product offers a unique flavor with a light green color. It's a decent flavor, as far as Powerade goes, but it's a tad bit washed out for our panel's liking. Our guess is that it's a slightly tweaked version of their citrus flavor. We do, however, like the custom shape of the bottle, but we did not test it enough to determine if it would be more convenient than the standard round packaging used on the other flavors. Overall, a decent product that may sell well around the time of the movie launch.

HIV stigma and discrimination remain a significant challenge in the UK
London 30 November 2009
New research led by people living with HIV shows physical and verbal harassment is a common reality for people living with HIV in the UK.
Newly published research documenting how people living with HIV in the United Kingdom have experienced stigma and discrimination, and how they have overcome it, makes it is clear that the problem is still widespread within UK society.
The research, conducted over the last 6 months, asked people to report their experiences in the last 12 months.
The findings of The People Living With HIV Stigma Index will be presented on 30 November at the Houses of Parliament.
Andy Burnham, MP, Secretary of State for Health, Annie Lennox, singer, songwriter and founder of the SING Campaign, Professor Jane Anderson, Director for the Study of Sexual Health and HIV at Homerton Hospital, as well as people living with HIV who participated in the research will address the issues of how everyone can help overcome stigma and discrimination.
Key findings show that people living with HIV face significant stigma and discrimination:
- 21% of people living with HIV had been verbally assaulted or harassed
- 12% had been physically harassed because of their HIV status in the previous 12 months
The Stigma Index is the first research to comprehensively document the experiences of people living with HIV that is driven by people living with HIV.
The results highlight concerns that stigma and discrimination within some parts of the NHS are denying comprehensive and quality care for some people living with HIV and can create obstacles that impede access to care and support services:
• 146 participants (17%) report being denied health services because of their HIV status at least once in the previous 12 months
• 18%, nearly 1 in 5 people, stated that it was clear to them that their medical records were not being kept confidential, a further 42% of participants felt uncertain that their medical records are being kept confidential
Research has indicated there is a need to address attitudes and develop strategies for change, to educate and support the health service to meet the needs of people living with HIV more effectively.
More positively, the research makes it clear that people living with HIV are at the forefront of confronting and overcoming devaluing attitudes, speaking out against prejudice and challenging stereotypes:
• 45 % of people living with HIV had personally confronted, challenged or educated people who were stigmatizing them
• 84 % had supported other people living with HIV
The research also revealed the negative impact on individuals living with HIV, many of whom reported low self esteem as a consequence of stigma and discrimination, often involving feelings of guilt and blame in the previous 12 months.
Kevin Osborne, of the International Planned Parenthood Federation, said:
"It is time to give stigma the index finger! As an initiative by and for people living with HIV, this is research that can really make a difference.
Beyond the significant results, the spirit of the research team shows us how to listen to the people at the heart of the issue.
People living with HIV are telling us how stigma is affecting their lives today, pointing out the issues that need to be addressed, and suggesting how stigma can be tackled in a positive way.
More than 60% of the people who participated in the research said they feel they can influence positive change for the future—the same as the number of people who voted in the last election in this country."
Annie Lennox said:
"I am delighted to be taking part in the launch of The People Living with HIV stigma Index here in the UK.
"This initiative will become a significant tool to inform not only those who are personally or professionally involved with the challenges of HIV, but it will hopefully also help to influence change.
"Stigma and discrimination still remain prevalent, and continue to be a massive obstacle, this will be a hugely significant first step."
Secretary of State Andy Burnham said:
"I welcome this report. Effective treatments have transformed the lives of people with HIV and today many more people with HIV can plan for their future with more certainty. But even in the UK, individuals and families affected by HIV can experience stigma and discrimination.
"Tackling HIV stigma is everyone's business. Working with HIV voluntary organisations, we have funded work on tackling stigma as part of the national strategy for sexual health and HIV. We will carefully consider this report's findings."
Scottish Minister for Public Health and Sport Shona Robison said:
"I'm pleased to see the publication of the results of The People Living with HIV Stigma Index. One of the key aims of the HIV Action Plan in Scotland is to tackle the stigma and discrimination faced by people living with HIV. It is important to ensure that action taken to combat HIV be approached sensitively to avoid any increase in levels of stigma and the Index will provide us with the evidence needed to tackle this issue."

About The People Living With HIV Stigma Index
The People Living With HIV Stigma Index is a community research and advocacy initiative developed by and for people living with HIV.
It is part of a global initiative between the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF), UNAIDS and two international networks of people living with HIV (The Global Network of People living with HIV/AIDS: GNP+ and The International Community of Women with HIV/AIDS: ICW).
It documents how people have experienced - and been able to challenge and overcome - stigma and discrimination relating to HIV over a 12 month period.
It is the first robust attempt to establish a baseline for documenting the stigma and discrimination experienced and overcome by people living with HIV in the UK.
867 individuals took part in the The People Living With HIV Stigma Index research, which championed a community research model, and involved people giving responses to an in-depth questionnaire conducted by trained community researchers.
Interviews were carried out in more than 40 locations around the country, from Aberdeen to Portsmouth, including Wales, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Manchester and London.

Aug. 26, 2011
TUCSON, Ariz. - Arizona women's soccer Head Coach Lisa Oyen named Allison Lipsher an assistant coach last week. Lipsher's primary responsibilities will include working with the team's goalkeepers.
"We are extremely excited about the addition of Allison to our staff for the fall of 2011," Oyen said. "She has an excellent reputation as a player and coach. She will not only serve as a great trainer for our goalkeepers but also as a mentor for all of our players. We are thrilled to add her experience and knowledge to our staff and program."
"I am so fortunate to have been given the opportunity to coach at such a highly regarded institution like the University of Arizona," Lipsher said. "The Athletic Department here is top-notch, and the soccer program is highly competitive. It's been great so far working with some of the top athletes in the conference, and I am really excited to see our potential and hard work translate into success this year.
Lipsher comes to Arizona with an exceptional résumé as a top goalkeeper. She has an established record as a goalkeeper at the college, club and professional levels.
A graduate of Duke University, Lipsher played four seasons for the Blue Devils, where she played from 2004-07. She finished her career ranked second on Duke and fourth on the ACC career charts in shutouts (33). Her career 0.87 goals against average and 265 saves ranked first and second, respectively.
As a freshman, Lipsher was named an ACC All-Freshman and Soccer Buzz All-Southeast Region All-Freshman selection in 2004. By her senior year, she set the Blue Devil record with 603:33 straight minutes without allowing a goal during the 2007 season, when she helped lead the team to an Elite Eight appearance in the NCAA tournament.
Lipsher then went on for an outstanding season in the Women's Premier Soccer League (WPSL), where she led Ajax America to the 2008 WPSL National Championship. That year, she was named to the WPSL All-Tournament Team.
In 2009, Lipsher joined the Boston Breakers of Women's Professional Soccer (WPS). With the Breakers, she pllayed in 11 games, starting in 10. She led the goalkeepers in minutes played with 928 and only allowed six goals in 11 games. She recorded five shutouts, which was fourth-best in the league
Most recently, Lipsher completed a season with the Atlanta Beat of Women's Professional Soccer in 2011. This season, she started seven games, collected 44 saves and had one shutout.
In 2010, Lipsher volunteered at Tufts University. There she oversaw work with the goalkeepers.
The Wildcats open the 2011 home schedule against South Carolina on Friday night at 7 p.m.

Advisory Panel Moots Testing Anthrax Vaccine in Children
by Kathy Jones on October 29, 2011 at 4:11 PM Child Health News - G J E 4
A government advisory panel in the United States has recommended that the federal government conduct a controversial study testing the effectiveness of anthrax vaccine in children but added that ethical issues must be resolved before the test can be conducted.
The National Biodefense Science Board voted to back the recommendation to the Health and Human Services Department of conducting the test in order to identify whether the vaccine is effective and safe among children.
AdvertisementThe panel said that since the vaccine will be used on a large number of children in the event of a bioterrorist attack, it is prudent to test whether the vaccine is safe to be administered to the children.
Even as the panel strongly backed the recommendation, a number of experts are claiming that such a test would be unethical since it would require exposing healthy children to anthrax. The criticism was acknowledged by the panel which said that such issues should be resolved before the government decides to conduct the test.

Barrowman described receiving the honour as one of the proudest moments of his life. The openly gay actor was honoured for his services to the entertainment industry as well as his contribution to charity.
"It's been the hardest thing for me to keep this a secret, but I'm glad it's out now, because this is probably one of the proudest days of my life,' Barrowman said.
'I can't tell you how honoured I am to get this MBE, to be recognized by Her Majesty, and also by the United Kingdom, because that's where I consider my home."

EVENT: Branch Law Firm/Dick McGuire Invitational
LOCATION: Albuquerque, N.M.
DATES: Sept.20-21
COURSE: UNM Championship Course
TEE TIMES: 8 a.m. (PT) shotgun start
LIVE SCORING: golfstat.com
FIELD (16): Colorado, Fresno State, Iowa, Iowa State, Nevada, New Mexico, UNLV, Northwestern, Oregon, Oregon State, Pepperdine, San Diego State, Texas Tech, Texas El Paso, UC Davis, Wyoming
OREGON LINEUP: Caroline Inglis, Cassy Isagawa, Cali Hipp, Cathleen Santoso, Monica Petchakan
EUGENE, Ore. – The University of Oregon women's golf team looks for a consecutive top-five finish this week, traveling to the 34th annual Branch Law Firm/Dick McGuire Invitational in Albuquerque, N.M. Action will be held at the UNM Championship Course on Friday and Saturday.
The Ducks earned momentum and a positive result at the season-opening Mary Fossum Invitational last weekend, placing fifth with a three round total of 908 (+44). Head coach Ria Scott and the Ducks look to do the same this week, playing in another talented 16-team national field.
Action from the Dick McGuire Invitational begins Friday with two rounds. Both rounds will get underway with a shotgun start at 8 a.m. (PT).
The Ducks were led by top-10 finishes from Caroline Inglis and Cassy Isagawa last week in East Lansing, Mich. Inglis notched her first career top-five finish with a 54-hole score of 221 (+5). She was one of two players in the field to break par in the final round, shooting a 71 (-1). Isagawa used three steady rounds to tie for seventh with a three-round score of 223 (+7).
Cathleen Santoso, Monica Petchakan and Raphaela Dyer were also in the lineup for the Ducks. Santoso tallied a top-20 finish in her first collegiate event, carding a 228 (+12) to tie for 17th. Petchakan tied for 46th (236/+20) and Dyer tied for 63rd (242/+26). Junior Cali Hipp and freshman Brenna Murphy also competed as individuals. Hipp placed 21st with a 229 (+13), while Murphy placed 88th (257/+41).
Inglis, Isagawa, Hipp, Santoso and Petchakan will compete this week for the Ducks, while Dyer and freshman Marcella Pranovia will compete individually.
Oregon last played in the Dick McGuire Invitational in 2010, where they won the tournament with a three-round score of 881 (+5).
Following the Dick McGuire Invitational, Oregon will return to action Oct. 8-9 with the Edean Ihlanfeldt Invitational in Sammamish, Wash.

Instagram Dives Deeper Into Video
Another day, another feature update at Instagram.
Today it's video. Specifically, Instagram is updating the Explore tab in its app to promote videos. After you update the app, you'll find a personalized "Videos You Might Like" channel that curates videos from across Instagram into a single location.
The Explore tab will also now have "Featured" channels with content grouped by specific topics. When you click on a video channel it will autoplay all the videos without looping, so you can binge watch one after the other without ever having to tire out your finger with excessive swiping.
Instagram's Explore tab works a bit like Pandora, the Internet radio station. You "train" Explore by expressing preferences for the content being displayed and it's a chance to be exposed to Instagram content even if you don't follow the creator.

MR. JUSTICE MILLER delivered the opinion of the court.
The action in the present case is brought against the same defendant on indorsements of drafts precisely similar to the indorsements in White v. National Bank, though by a different plaintiff. There is in that case the same money count joined with special counts on the drafts, and the same evidence that the money came to the use of the defendant.
In this case, however, the parties waived a jury, and the court found no facts, but rendered a general finding for the defendant. We have had some difficulty, therefore, in disturbing the judgment, as there is no charge to the jury, and no instructions asked and refused.
A bill of exceptions, however, embodies the evidence, and shows that the court refused to receive the drafts in evidence, although the accompanying evidence of the receipt of the money by defendant, and its payment by plaintiff, was the same as in the other case. To this ruling there was an exception.
We are of opinion that the drafts, the peculiar indorsement, and the payment of the money by the plaintiff, and its receipt and use by the defendant, were each and all parts of a transaction admissible as evidence of money paid by plaintiff to the use of defendant, to be repaid on request, and that the court erred in rejecting any part of it.
The judgment will therefore the reversed for that error, and the case remanded with directions to grant a new trial.
So ordered.

| The
Presidents of
the University of Chicago
A Centennial View
|page 2 of 3| « previous | next »
William Rainey Harper
As Harper became better known, he began attracting the interest of Yale. The BUTS trustees feared they could not hold onto him and offered him the presidency of the financially troubled University of Chicago in hopes that this challenge would keep him in Chicago. Instead, Harper accepted a chair at Yale and took his schools and printing office with him to New Haven; the original University of Chicago soon after foundered in bankruptcy.
When the American Baptist Education Society formed two years later to plan a new Baptist university in the midwest, Harper was invited to join a committee of nine to plan the institution. John D. Rockefeller had met him in 1886 and was impressed with his energy and ideas. Rockefeller supported the Baptists' plans, although initially only for an undergraduate college, and offered an initial $600,000 for endowment if they could raise another $400,000 from other sources. A board of trustees was formed in 1890, and one of their first actions was to nominate Harper as president.
Harper envisioned a university, not a college, and would not accept the presidency until he was promised a free hand in developing the institution along the broad lines he wanted. Additional funds would be needed to support Harper's scheme, and Rockefeller pledged another million. Harper officially accepted the presidency in April 1891 and took office on July 1.
Under Harper's plan, the University of Chicago would include an undergraduate college, but senior professors would be freed from heavy teaching loads in order to pursue research. In addition, Harper projected extension work and a university press as key elements of the University. The adult education programs he had developed as an adjunct to his teaching would be given full status within the university's curriculum.
While these plans were being developed, Harper had to recruit a complete faculty, amounting to 120 appointments by the time the university opened; oversee selection of a student body (over 3000 students applied for admission, and 520 showed up on opening day); supervise the construction and equipping of university buildings, including classrooms, laboratories, libraries, and housing for faculty and students; and raise money, for the original funds given by Rockefeller and the ABES were quickly seen as inadequate. Harper's appetite for work was legendary, both his ability to plan large endeavors in broad strokes, and his concern for details, such as the planning of the academic ceremonies which he loved.

Plato, Philebus 12b (trans. Fowler) (Greek philosopher C4th B.C.) :
"Sokrates: Let us begin with the very goddess who Philebos says is spoken of as Aphrodite but is most truly named Hedone (Pleasure) . . . And now I call Aphrodite by that name which is agreeable to her; but pleasure I know has various aspects."
Cicero, De Natura Deorum 2. 23 (trans. Rackham) (Roman rhetorician C1st B.C.) :
"In other cases some exceptionally potent force is designated by a title of divinity, for example [the Daimones of virtuous behaviour] . . . In the same class the names Cupidos [Eros, Sexual Desire], Voluptas [Hedone, Pleasure] and Venus Lubentina [Aphrodite] have been deified--things vicious and unnatural (although Velleius thinks otherwise), yet the urge of these vices often overpowers natural instinct . . . the names that I just now enumerated express the various powers of the gods that bear them."
Statius, Thebaid 10. 90 ff (trans. Mozley) (Roman epic C1st A.D.) :
"Within [the halls of Somnus, Hypnos, god of sleep], glowing Mulciber [Hephaistos] had carved a thousand likenesses of the god [Somnus]: here wreathed Voluptas (Pleasure) clings to his side."
Statius, Silvae 1. 3. 8 (trans. Mozley) (Roman poetry C1st A.D.) :
"Volupta (Pleasure) herself with her own delicate hand is said to have traced with thee [the beautiful summer villa of a Roman noble]."
Apuleius, The Golden Ass 6. 24 ff (trans. Walsh) (Roman novel C2nd A.D.) :
"Psyche [Psykhe, Soul] was wed to Cupidos [Eros, Love], and at full term a daughter was born to them. We call her Voluptas [Hedone, Pleasure]."

Favorite 43 Folders Links (September 2004)
By user12607856 on Oct 03, 2005
One of the January 2005 entries in my Favorite BoingBoing links post, pointed to an Introducing the Hipster PDA entry on the 43 Folders website.
Written by Merlin Mann, 43 Folders is one of those sites that's much more than a single good link. On its About page, it describes itself as mainly being:
- Productivity and time management tips
- Mac OS X programs and technologies
- Ideas about modest ways to improve your life and reduce stress
- Cool or helpful shortcuts that makes life a bit easier
In a similar manner to what I did for BoingBoing, I'm going to work my way through the monthly archives, and list my favorite links for this site. I've started a new 43 Folders category for this.
A lot of the links will make reference to David Allen's Getting Things Done system.
Whereas the BoingBoing links tended to mostly all point off somewhere else, a lot of the 43 Folders links will point to the full post written by Merlin. Also, different things are going to interest different people, so I highly recommend you check out the actual 43 Folders site as well.

Following yesterday's 7-hour, 21-minute spacewalk, Mission Specialists Jim Newman and Jerry Ross will relax today beginning preparations for tomorrow's spacewalk, the second of three planned during this mission. Ross, Newman and Mission Specialists Nancy Currie and Sergei Krikalev will set up and prepare equipment for tomorrow's spacewalk. This evening, all six astronauts will gather to review procedures prior to Ross and Newman's second excursion into space tomorrow.
Flight controllers will conduct command checks between Mission Control, Houston, and Mission Control, Moscow, to verify the ability to command Zarya from Houston via the Moscow control center. In preparation for the crew's entry into the International Space Station on Thursday, the mating adapter between Unity and Zarya, Pressurized Mating Adapter 1 (PMA 1) will be pressurized via remote commands from Moscow and checked for leaks. Flight controllers in Houston also will power on filters and fans and monitor temperatures inside Unity as heaters warm up the module prior to Thursday's entry.
Cabana and Sturckow will fire Endeavour's primary reaction control jets shortly after 2:30 CST this afternoon for about 22 minutes to raise the altitude of the International Space Station by about 5-1/2 statute miles. An opportunity for a second reboost maneuver is available later in the flight as well.
At 5:41 p.m. this evening, Cabana, Sturckow and Currie will be interviewed by ABC News/Discovery Channel and MSNBC. Once these activities are completed, the crew will have off-duty time starting around 7:30 CST this evening.
Endeavour and the International Space Station are orbiting the Earth at an altitude of about 240 statute miles with all systems in excellent shape.

Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Feature
Randy West is randy for his betrothed Kelly Royce, but she wants to remain pure till the wedding. Unbeknownst to our hero his beloved is really plotting to dump him, but he doesn't succumb to the temptations she arranges for him. Enter "Shirley's machine," a telephone answering device which Randy accidentally calls and to which he tells his troubles.
Credit the clever story and good dialogue to one of the most unsung writers in the business —Mark Weiss. Give co-credit on the excellent placement and pacing of the action scenes to director Michael Craig who knows that by making the viewer wait, he heightens the sexual thrill.

June 17, 2013
SAN FRANCISCO - The Washington State University volleyball program will have 14 matches televised in 2013, the Pac-12 Networks and Pac-12 Conference announced Monday.
"We're very excited about our 2013 schedule and excited to have 14 matches on television," third-year Head Coach Jen Greeny said. "Any time you play in the Pac-12 every night is going to be tough. I think the schedule, especially for our home matches, is going to be great for our fans to come out and watch us play in Bohler Gym. The TV matches are great not only for our volleyball program but also for Washington State University as a whole for people across the country to see what we have to offer here in Pullman."
The Pac-12 Networks has been broadcasting live contests and additional programming about the members of the Conference of Champions since August 12, 2012. WSU had a dozen volleyball matches televised in 2012. In the second year of operations, the Pac-12 Networks will televise 90 women's volleyball matches, eight more than the initial season. Additionally, ESPN has selected three Pac-12 matches to be televised live on ESPNU this season.
WSU's opening Pac-12 match will be at home against cross-state rival Washington Wed., Sept. 25, in a 7:30 p.m. contest to be televised live regionally on the Pac-12 Networks. Other TV contests for the Cougars include Arizona, Arizona State, California, Colorado, Oregon State, Stanford and USC. The Nov. 6 match at Arizona State will be a Pac-12 Networks national telecast.
The Cougars open the 2013 volleyball season at the Army Black Knights Invitational tournament in West Point, NY, Aug. 30 through Sept. 1, taking on Alabama, Seton Hall and host Army. The next weekend WSU hosts the Cougar Challenge tournament in Bohler Gym, playing Eastern Washington, Texas Tech, Montana and South Dakota.

Chateau Bernadotte Haut Medoc, Bordeaux wine producer profile, with wine tasting notes , wine ratings , a history of the property, information on wine making and terroir, along with wine tasting reviews . If you want to read about other important, Bordeaux Chateaux: Links to all Bordeaux Wine Producer Profiles
Chateau Bernadotte takes its name from a previous owner, Marshal Bernadotte. Marshal Bernadotte was appointed the Sovereign Prince by Napoleon I. The modern era of Chateau Bernadotte begins in 1997, when it was purchased by Madame de Lencquesaing, the owner of Chateau Pichon Lalande in Pauillac . de Lencquesaing purchased Chateau Bernadotte from the Elkund family. The following year, a complete renovation took place of Chateau Bernadotte. The entire property was rebuilt from top to bottom. The Chateau, vat rooms, grape reception area and cellars were all modernized. In the vat rooms, they increased the number of vats to 23. This allowed Chateau Bernadotte to vinify in thermoregulated vats on a parcel by parcel basis. The vineyards also received extensive improvements and replantings. The amount of Merlot planted in the vineyards was also increased from 36% to 44%.
In 2007, Chateau Pichon Comtesse de Lalande in Pauillac and two properties in St. Estephe , Chateau de Pez and Chateau Haut Beausejour were purchased by the Roederer Champagne house. The property was under the direction of Frederic Rouzaud. Since the purchase by Rouzaud in 2007, the wines of Chateau Bernadotte showed a marked improvement in style and quality.
In December 2012, Chateau Bernadotte was sold to the King Power Group. The King Power Group has massive business holdings in a myriad of different industries including; real estate, food and beverages, retail with the Agatha company and more as well as in the duty free area.
The 35 hectare Left Bank vineyard of Chateau Bernadotte in the Haut Medoc appellation has a terroir of gravel and sand with some clay in the soil. The vineyard is planted to 50% Cabernet Sauvignon , 44% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot . On average, the vines are 25 years of age. The vines are planted to a density of 6,500 vines per hectare. A portion of the estates vines are also located in Pauillac, where they are used to produce Fournas Bernadotte. Interestingly, the terroir in Haut Medoc is better than the soils that are situated in Pauillac.
To produce the wine of Chateau Bernadotte, vinification takes place in 23, large, temperature controlled, stainless steel vats. Malolactic fermentation takes place in vat. The wines of Chateau Bernadotte are aged in 30% new, French oak barrels for 12 to 18 months, depending on the quality and character of the vintage. The large property produces close to 10,000 cases of Bordeaux wine per year. The estate also makes a second wine , Fournas Bernadotte, which comes from vines planted in the Haut Medoc and Pauillac appellations.

WILLIAMS, Ore. (AP) — In Oregon, big city Portland has cafes where medical marijuana users smoke pot while singing karaoke.
But it is in the small rural communities of southwestern Oregon where medical marijuana has really taken root.
The Associated Press analyzed the locations of people registered to grow medical marijuana as patients, caregivers or designated growers based on their ZIP codes and found that Williams in Josephine County has the heaviest concentration. More than 400 of the town's 2000 residents, approximately 20 percent residents, are authorized by the state to grow up to six plants each.
That creates stark contrasts in a bucolic burg where children still ring the bell to start the school day and pancake breakfasts draw a crowd at the local community center.

Excellent brake pads
I've used SBS brake pads and shoes in all of my bikes for the last 25+ years, and wouldn't use anything else. They wear very well, provide excellent stopping power, and are easy on the brake rotors. Price is comparable to other brands, making them a great value as well. Give them a try!! Maynard

need a little help...
they fit inside the caliper (cb450 k7) nice and tightly and don't make any wobble or vibration noise under braking. the only problem is that the hole for the split pin that holds the right-side pad against the back of the caliper was too small (the pin wouldn't fit) and I had to drill it out. Not a big deal - unless someone doesn't have a full set of tiny tempered drill bits and either a drill press or strong hands... Other than that a hundred miles in and so far so good.
