(Ivanhoe Newswire) – African Americans have HIV infection rates seven times higher than whites. In a new paper a team of physicians and researchers report that African-American clergy are ready to join the fight against HIV by focusing on testing, treatment and social justice.
"We in public health have done a poor job of engaging African-American community leaders and particularly black clergy members in HIV prevention," Amy Nunn, lead author of the study and assistant professor of medicine in the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University was quoted as saying.
"There is a common misperception that African American churches are unwilling to address the AIDS epidemic. This paper highlights some of the historical barriers to effectively engaging African American clergy in HIV prevention and provides recommendations from clergy for how to move forward."
The paper analyzes and distills dozens of interviews and focus group data among 38 black pastors and imams in Philadelphia, where racial disparities in HIV infection are especially stark. Seven in 10 new infections in the city are among black residents. With uniquely deep influence in their communities, nearly all of the 27 male and 11 female clergy said they could and would preach and promote HIV testing and treatment.
Research published and widely reported last year, suggests that testing and then maintaining people on treatment could dramatically reduce new infections because treatment can give people a 96-percent lower chance of transmitting HIV.
"For decades, we've focused many HIV prevention efforts on reducing risky behavior," said Nunn.
"Focusing on HIV testing and treatment should be the backbone of HIV prevention strategies and efforts to reduce racial disparities in HIV infection. Making HIV testing routine is the gateway to getting more individuals on treatment. African American clergy have an important role to play in routinizing HIV testing."
But clergy members face barriers to preaching about risk behaviors without still emphasizing abstinence.
"It's my duty as a preacher to tell people to abstain," one pastor told the research team, "but if they're still having sex and they're getting HIV, there has to be another way to handle this."
Many clergy members suggested couching the HIV/AIDS epidemic in social justice rather than behavioral terms, Nunn said. They also recommended focusing on HIV testing as an important means to slow the spread of the disease and reduce the stigma.
"We need to standardize testing," one pastor told the researchers. "One thing that we could do immediately is to encourage our congregations — everybody — to get tested. ... We're not dealing with risk factors. And we're all going to get tested once a year. That's the one thing that we could do that doesn't get into our doctrine about sexuality."

Irene Allender of Preservation Dallas submitted this week's image. She writes of it:
"I have a photo here at Preservation Dallas of a building on Commerce under construction, date unknown. There were two parts, and each had a woman's name on top. One was Phyllis, the other Juanita. The one with Phyllis is now gone, but Juanita is still around. It is on the far east end of downtown before hitting Deep Ellum." Can any FrontBurnervians with an eye for historical detail place the date of the image? According to Dallas Central Appraisal District records, the building dates from 1925.

There was so much excitement around the inaugural Winter Olympic men's freestyle skiing half pipe competition. David Wise flipped, spun and moved through the half pipe finishing with a gold medal around his neck. One has to wonder where he learned to master his first place winning moves.
Many skiing enthusiast and professionals like Wise spend their winters on some of America's best ski mountains. They hit these popular destinations to master a new move, to challenge a new trail and to enjoy the unique offerings of the ski towns. For a head start to the 2018 Winter Olympics, pull out your skis and take on these famous ski areas.
Get trained by professional skiers during your winter getaway to the quaint ski town of Crested Butte, CO which sits under the shadow of Elk and Crested Butte Mountains. The variety of extreme skiing terrain in this former mining town has attracted big name skiing competitions (X Games being one of them). Just steps away from Crested Butte's innovative boutiques and locally owned atmospheric eateries sits The Purple Mountain Bed & Breakfast that offers discounted lift tickets to guests and other discounts for snowboarding, snowmobiling, ice climbing and other adventurous winter activities.
Taos, NM offers a majestic experience like no other ski town. Its home to Taos Ski Valley, a budding skiers' dream with short lift lines, 110 trails and one of the top-rated ski schools in the country. The Adobe and Stars Bed and Breakfast Inn is conveniently located between the historic Taos and the Taos Ski Valley. Designed for travelers who love 360 degree scenic mountain views and a southwestern atmosphere, this picturesque B&B is a great place to stay after a long day on the slopes.
From the porch of an 1893 Queen Ann Victorian home, known as the Catskill Lodge in Windham, NY, you can see the stunning views of the Northern Catskill Mountains. This terrain gained its notoriety by being the focal point for many literary works including Rip Van Winkle and the Legend of Sleepy Hollow - along with being the backdrop of several paintings throughout history. What also makes this region popular are the Hunter and Windham Mountains that boast of night skiing opportunities for intermediate and expert level skiers.
Tackle the most challenging ski terrain on the East coast at two of the toughest ski mountain areas in the Mad River Valley. This region of Vermont offers activities and attractions year round, but is most known as a skier's haven during the winter season. Nestled between the legendary ski mountains Mad River Glen and Sugarbush, is the secluded retreat of The Yellow Farmhouse Inn. Located in Waitsfield, VT – The Yellow Farmhouse provides easy access for a day of mastering the half-pipe like an Olympic champ at one of the nearby ski areas.
Everyone knows that practice makes perfect, but with the right mountain you will get a head start at becoming a pro.

Ex-men: Reading
by Kate Smith
We profile players who have played for both clubs.
After a youth career at Grimsby Town and a spell at Everton, Oster made the move to the Stadium of Light in 1999. The winger enjoyed an eventful time at Sunderland, and struggled to hold down a regular first team place. He spent loan spells at Barnsley and Leeds as well as at former club Grimsby before being released in 2005. In all, Oster made almost 100 appearances for the Black Cats, scoring six goals in six years.
Oster moved to the Madejski after a short spell at Burnley. He was used mostly as a substitute in his time at the club, spending three years at the Royals. He made almost 50 sub appearances in league games, starting 29 matches. He was part of the side promoted to the Premier League at the end of the 2005/06 season and was part of their top flight squad for two seasons until their relegation in 2008, when he was released. He is currently plying his trade at League Two Barnet.
The name Ian Porterfield is written into Black Cats folklore as the man who secured the 1973 FA Cup. He moved to Wearside from Raith Rovers in 1967 and made over 200 appearances in the Sunderland first team. His most memorable moment was undoubtedly scoring the winning goal in Sunderland's remarkable FA Cup win, beating favourites Leeds United in the final.
Porterfield enjoyed a brief loan spell at Reading towards the end of his Sunderland career, and also managed the side for 18 months from 1989 to 1991 in the old Third Division. After becoming the first manager to be sacked in the Premier League (at Chelsea in 1993), he had a number of international management roles, including spells at Zambia, Oman and Trinidad and Tobago. He was the coach of the Armenian national side in 2007 when he passed away, aged 61.

Two government buildings held by pro-Russian separatists despite tensions soar in Donetsk which is the eastern part of Ukraine.
Ukraine's decision on Wednesday to restart anti-terror operation against separatist raise concerns on many residents.
Three-quarters of its citizens in Donetsk province speak Russian as their native language.
However, since pro-Russian activists took over two municipal buildings in Donetsk, fewer rallies held in the streets.
One of the residents (Yulia Sadan) works at the Coffee Street Café, said now is back to business as usual in the city.
Sadan said: "When there were rallies the main street was closed and there were fewer customers, but now everything is calm in the city. People are walking in the streets. It's nice and warm."
At this time, the Ukrainian flag still flies over the Bank of Russia -- rumors that it was to be replaced by a Russian flag.
Parents rent tricycles, as mean of transportation, for children to ride in Lenin Square where near a small group of protesters.
Donetsk residents are worried about the plan of Ukraine government's possible next moves on conflicted decision to get tougher on pro-Russian separatists.
Resident Vladimir Zosimov said the government should negotiate more. As he added, "very bad. There is no dialogue and this is already sad. And if there will be more victims it will be even more sad."
Many people think is time for action, people like Vitaliy who did not want to give his last name.
Vitaliy said: "There needs to be more decisive moves toward the stabilization of the events in the region. That is not only my opinion but the majority of Donetsk residents, we are not in favor what is happening."

David "Gatti of the Rockies" Medina
WBC USNBC Middleweight Champion, Former WBC USNBC Super Welterweight Champion, Former GBU America's Middleweight Champion.
Born: October 28, 1978, Rocky Ford, Colorado
Record: 20-2, 10 KO's
For middleweight prospect David "Gatti of the Rockies" Medina (20-2, 10 KO's) October 30th will provide him the opportunity to finally establish himself as a legitimate world class contender on the undercard of one of the most exciting PPV cards of the year. The popular Kansas based brawler will step into the ring with a former star of ESPN's "The Contender" in Miguel Hernandez in an eight round fight that could put him in the top ten if he impresses.
"I've been promoting David for several years now," commented Zeferino Ramirez, who in association with Golden Boy Promotions is promoting the October 30th card in El Paso, "and we have been working hard at putting him in this position: to show boxing what a tremendous fighter he is."
Although Medina has shown flashes of brilliance in his career, it was hardly an easy road to the top. In fact, after his professional debut, it looked like the young prospect's career might be over before it even began. Fighting highly regarded Kansas light heavyweight prospect Donny McCrary in March of 2005 (a fighter who had ten fights under his belt) Medina struggled with the size and experience of the future star of ESPN's third season of "The Contender", losing by way of stoppage. Some fighters would have let the loss discourage them, but Medina was determined to put the fight behind him.
Two months later Medina stopped Yosef Lee in Topeka Kansas before he traveled back to the state of his birth to fight highly touted Colorado prospect Alex Trottier in July of 2005 in Pueblo. Moving down to middleweight Medina shined in scoring a first round knockout, and many Colorado boxing fans were excited about the prospect of Medina emerging as a legitimate prospect despite the loss to McCrary. Three more fights in Kansas followed before Medina teamed up with promoter Zef Ramierez back in Pueblo again to fight the highly regarded journeyman Julio Lanzas in a four round fight. Lanzas will never be mistaken for the second coming of Tommy Hearns, but what he did posses was what is widely seen as one of the best chins in the sport. In fact, Lanzas had only tasted the canvas once before, when he fought middleweight contender Alfonso Gomez in Denver the previous year. And prior to his fight with Medina he gave light heavyweight prospect Ronald Johnson fits en route to a split decision loss. But Medina showed world class power in dropping Lanzas en route to a four round decision victory. To this date it is the last time Lanzas hit the canvas (and his resume includes sixteen fights that followed his loss to Medina).
A knockout over undefeated Robert Smallwood followed in February of 2006, followed by an impressive win in his birthplace of Rocky Ford over Khalif Shabazz in March. Medina then fought for his first title, winning the GBU America's Middleweight Championship in an eight round fight against Alfred Salinas in his hometown of Junction City, Kansas. After following up that win with a quick title defense over Manny Castillo in Rocky Ford, Medina made his first appearance on the national stage when he fought in a ESPN televised fight against Charles Blake in Colorado Springs back in July of 2006. The end result was one of the most devastating knockouts in recent ESPN history as Blake was brutally stopped in the opening round.
With the win over Blake, Medina was ready to take his first step up, and it seemed he had the perfect foe in Ohio based welterweight prospect Chris Overbey in August of 2006. The fight, which also took place in Junction City, looked to be a tough test for Medina on paper. Not only would it be his first for a major title (the WBC USNBC Super Welterweight title), but it would also pit him against another prospect for the first time. But the power and determination of Medina carried the day as he stopped Overbey in the second round.
Two more wins in Kansas followed before Medina took his next step up, fighting tough journeyman Clarence "Sonny Bono" Taylor in April of 2007. But Medina made the dangerous mistake that many young rookies make in failing to take his weight training seriously, and a badly dehydrated Medina was stopped when he dropped over thirty pounds in the weeks leading up to the fight. It was a hard lesson to learn, but one Medina took to heart. He quickly bounced back with a majority decision win over Patrick Thompson in Junction City and then starched Ohio's Dean Nichols in the first round in September of that year.
By November of that year Ramirez was ready to test the waters with medina again, pitting him against fellow prospect Skyler Thompson in a televised fight from Kingman, Arizona. Thompson had a flashy 11-1 record and a reputation as being a slick boxer puncher and after one round it looked like he might just upset the popular Medina. But Medina gritted his teeth and won a lopsided decision after dominating the final rounds.
A PPV fight against Texas based prospect Victor Lares followed in April of 2008, and although Medina was dropped in the tenth, and final round, many observers were nonetheless impressed with the grit and determination shown by Medina in winning the unanimous decision.
Although most insiders feel that Medina has bounced back nicely from the loss to Taylor, and has repositioned himself as one of the more attractive middleweight prospects in the Midwest, all are in agreement that on October 30th he will need to score an impressive win over former "Contender" Miguel Hernandez.

Moshi Monster Party (31 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
This year Janelle wanted a Moshi Monster party and had it all planned months before the event date. She even drew up the cake exactly how she wanted it..learning from mommy I guess..;) and it was a FUN theme to plan and put together with her.
Juli Labrecque photography captured the entire party and she always does a fabulous job!
For the dessert table we included; marshmallow clouds, Moshi Monster rox sugar cookies, vanilla bean cupcakes, rainbow cake pops and chocolate covered oreos. As Janelle requested we had to have some candy. We also included Moshi goo Jell-o into the mix and ordered some vanilla macarons from Little Bird Patisserie.
The cake was a chocolate peanut butter cup flavored cake and replicated the Moshi Monster house in the Moshi Monster world. Janelle asked for her two favorite characters, Poppet and Zack Binspin to be front and center on the cake.
The clouds were an easy last minute DIY by using cotton batting pulled apart and then used fishing line with a little wire shaped like a spiral to attach and then hang above the dessert table.
I thought the gems went with the Moshi monster theme because of the rox that players have to earn that is the currency in the world so I ran with that theme and included them throughout the party. I found a great paper gem template from here and made some tassels from this tutorial that was the most well explained for me to follow and got some help from my hubby to complete them both.
Once the guests arrived they were divided into two teams and then played puzzle palace games which included; Mr. snoodle's alphabet soup, time tangle, Monstro city tower in which the teams had to build the tallest tower and Zommer mummies which had one team member from each team wrapped in toilet paper like a mummy. The teams also had to find moshlings that were scattered around the party area.
The guests also decorated Moshi Monster masks that were downloaded from the website.
Each guest went home with a favor bag filled with a gumball tube, Moshi monster tattoos, bookmark and a Moshling mystery pack
Janelle and her school friends seemed to have a lot of fun and was so rewarding to hear from one say to say as they left that they had a lot of fun!

According to MacLane, a monoidal category is symmetric if we have maps $\gamma_{a,b}:a\Box b\cong b\Box a$ and coherence relations, one in particular which states $\gamma_{a,b}\circ\gamma_{b,a}=1$. Is this relation "evil" in the sense of category theorists? That is, should it be an isomorphism of morphisms rather than equality?
This question can just be generall extended to a question regarding commutative diagrams in general. My experience thus far has been that such diagrams show equality of maps, but is this a much stronger notion than isomorphism? Does this question make sense?

Yundi Li Cancels Japan Tour Over China-Japan Row
More In Arts-Culture
The China-Japan territorial dispute has struck a sad chord for Japan's classical music lovers. Chinese pianist Yundi Li will cancel all of his performances in Japan in light of the ongoing territorial squabble between his home country and its neighbor.
"The Chinese government has advised that Yundi Li's visit to Japan be suspended due to the Senkaku problem. Because he is unable to come to Japan, his tour will be canceled," according to a statement from Japan Arts on Wednesday. The message appeared on the websites of the various venues across the country, including his Japan fan club, where until Wednesday had been prominently promoting ticket sales to see China's "Prince of the Piano," as he is sometimes called. Japan Real Time has more.

"Wicked people and imposters will grow ever worse, deceiving others and being themselves deceived" (2 Timothy 3:13).
Reflection: Euthanasia advocates try to paint Terri Schiavo's death as peaceful, gentle and dignified. They are selling death as a product, as a better alternative than a life of suffering. But Terri, when dying, had a look of terror and sadness on her face. She was panting and her eyes were rapidly moving from side to side. In no way was this death gentle, peaceful, or dignified. Rather, it was cruel murder by dehydration — an action we would not carry out on an animal.
Prayer: Forgive your people, Lord, and free us from deception. Amen.

South Lane County Fire and Rescue wants YOU to sign up for our free Smoke Alarm Program. Thanks to a cooperation effort with the Oregon State Fire Marshal's Office and South Lane Fire we are able to provide the installation of smoke alarms to the citizens of the fire district for free.
Smoke alarms that are properly installed and maintained play a vital role in reducing fire deaths and injuries. Having a working smoke alarm reduces the chance of dying in a reported fire by half.
Almost two-thirds of home fire deaths in 2005-2009 resulted from fires in homes with no smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms.
We will install smoke alarms in every bedroom, outside each separate sleeping area and on every level of the home, including the basement.
To date we have installed over 250 smoke alarms in Cottage Grove, Creswell and the surrounding areas. Call today to schedule a date and time to have a certified smoke alarm technician install the alarms for you. On average it takes 15 minutes to install the alarms. All of our smoke alarms are powered by a lithium ion battery that will last you ten years.
Call our headquarters at (541) 942-4493 to sign up.

Given that the Internet is vast enough to encompass even the remotest corners of the globe in its aura, how would you ensure that your website – which is like a tiny droplet in an ocean – is visible to potential customers and casual surfers alike? This is where reliable and reputed providers like www.AdultAgencyAds.com come in.
If the Internet is described as wilderness, websites are like thousands of trees spread across its area that define its character. In such a situation, the task of pinpointing and finding a single tree is practically impossible unless of course it is adequately marked and made to stand out from the rest. That is exactly what SEO is meant to do – it is an arsenal full of tricks and strategies which, on being applied to a website, render it prominent enough to be able to stand out from the rest. Results of SEO are manifested in form of improved ranking wherein the particular website appears on the first page of the search engine and attracts a sizeable density of traffic provided the SEO firm that you have hired is as efficient as www.AdultAgencyAds.com.
Such is the importance of this tool that a website which is bereft of SEO is akin to a business venture that does not have any source of revenue, meaning it is likely to die a natural death within a few weeks. Therefore, for any online entrepreneur who wishes to survive for a long time and is serious about making the most of the concept of e-commerce, finding a high quality, effective and affordable SEO package is a priority. Outfits like www.AdultAgencyAds.com are options that deserve consideration in this regard.
On settling down with www.AdultAgencyAds.com for your website optimization requirements, following are the six stages that are implemented by the firm towards ensuring result-oriented SEO –
Stage 1 – This is the first stage wherein you have entrusted your website to the SEO specialist with the intention of improving its ranking and performance. On his part, the professional would embark on the task by evaluating the existing SEO and provide you with a report pertaining to what might be wrong. Henceforth, the requisite rectification can be handled by you or by the expert as deemed appropriate.
Stage 2 – Assuming that you have decided to enlist the services of a professional, most of the activities performed during this stage would be dedicated to revamping and renovating the website as per the recommendations of the report. Hence, at the end of this stage, the website will appear as sporting a totally new look.
Stage 3 – During this stage, it is time to apply SEM, namely search engine marketing, which is also referred to as off-site SEO. Commonly used techniques for this purpose are press release distribution, article submission, blog posting, social bookmarking and so on.
Stage 4 – Having sufficiently tweaked the structure and applied all the techniques, it is time to adjudge if there is an improvement and how effective are the new tools. Link building is another activity that is focused on during this stage.
Stage 5 – Providers offer this stage as the premium SEO package wherein the website is marketed by being linked to high quality domains.
Stage 6 – Deluxe SEO is provided to wanting customers in form of corporate branding through high quality videos that qualify for YouTube.
Subsequent to incorporation of these stages by www.AdultAgencyAds.com, not only will your website appear on the first page of search engine results but will also accrue an income that would turn your competitors green with envy.

Sir Winston Churchill As A Historian
A famed British historian and poet looks at Churchill's two masterpieces.
December 1962 | Volume 14, Issue 1
With his treatment of American history, it is generally agreed that he gives disproportionate space to the Civil War—that is, if it is possible to give disproportionate space to the Civil War. My chief criticism of this volume is that it omits the western migration across the prairies that conquered a whole continent, and is one of the decisive folk movements of history: the grand epic of nineteenth-century America. So far as the Civil War is concerned he gives us, as we should expect, a most vivid account of the campaigns and the battles, set in a generous perspective: "Thus ended the great American Civil War, which must upon the whole be considered the noblest and least avoidable of all the great mass-conflicts of which till then there was record." He sums up the losses, and the historic gain. As an old soldier his sympathies are with the soldiers on both sides, rather than with the politicians: "If these two Presidents had let McClellan and Lee fight the quarrel out between them as they thought best the end would have been the same, but the war would have been less muddled, much shorter, and less bloody." As you would expect, his soldier's admiration goes to Lee, but he has a fine tribute to Lincoln: "Lincoln's political foes, gazing upon him, did not know vigour when they saw it." And his own wartime experience shows in the knowledgeable comment: "It is sometimes necessary at the summit of authority to bear with the intrigues of disloyal colleagues, to remain calm when others panic, and to withstand misguided popular outcries. All this Lincoln did."
Here, as one reviewer pointed out, is the most powerful criticism of the book—that the real history of the English-speaking peoples proceeds and finds a living unity "on levels of the historical process with which Sir Winston does not concern himself at all." Englishspeaking ties in the nineteenth century were above all economic and social, demographic and popular. There was the fundamental interchange of British manufactures for American raw materials and food; the contribution of British shipping and capital investment, especially in railways, in opening up the new continent.
And there is the reverse process: the immense impact of America on Britain in this period, the constant influence of the great American writers from Fenimore Cooper onwards—sometimes their fame was first made in Britain; of American political and social ideas in the extension of democracy and equality; of American religious and revivalistic movements; of folklore and popular music and entertainment of every kind, from Negro spirituals to circuses; not to mention the humbler inventions that lightened millions of working class homes with paraffin lamps, sewing machines, harmoniums, rocking chairs, at length telephones.
If justice were to be done to this dual process of action and reaction at every level it would need another volume. But it is not Churchill's subject, and he has done enough for one lifetime.
Perhaps we may sum up.
What are his qualities as a writer of history? They are allied to those of the maker of it, the man of action. The combination of powerful common sense with imagination is always a stronger one for a historian than any amount of ethical uplift—more in keeping with the facts of life, the subject matter of history. There is no humbug in Churchill, not a trace: it has been one of his disadvantages as a politician to be incapable of it. Nor is he in any way religious: he is at the opposite pole from any sort of mysticism—though he has pietas, like an ancient Roman, and in time of trouble, stoicism. His lifelong inspiration has been patriotism, an out-of-date virtue today. He is philosophically a rationalist, who sees life in terms of struggle; his intellectual outlook was much shaped by his reading of Darwin when young. He has always attached importance to the role of chance, luck, fortune in human affairs. In his own life, so closely bound up with politics, he has seen far too much of its changes and chances, its ups and downs, its course deflected by a mere pebble in the stream, not to appreciate the role played by mere chance in history. What are his values? Courage, resource, duty to country and mankind, achievement in all fields; for no one is so human or so enjoys fulfillment in all spheres of action, physical and mental.
All this appears in the historian: such a sense of life, such a way of re-creating the past; the choice of subjects of significance combined with the presentation of new material, marshaled like troops on a battlefield; vitality, perception, political understanding, and the style to express it: without these no historian can properly be called great.
Of course, he has had a double dose of vitality, a double inheritance. I have said that his chief inspiration has been patriotism, which he has come to broaden out to apply to the English-speaking peoples as a whole. In this, too, he has had the double advantage that in him the British and American strains are equally strong. He sees, prophetically, that our separate histories are tending to merge into one stream: his last words to us on his last page are, "Nor should we now seek to define precisely the exact terms of ultimate union."

The center of much of University of Alabama campus life since the facility opened in 1968, Coleman Coliseum is home to Alabama men's basketball.
Opened on January 30, 1968, and originally named Memorial Coliseum, Coleman Coliseum has served as the home court of the Alabama basketball team for 42 years.
One of college basketball's finest facilities then and now, the multi-purpose arena was ahead of its time when originally constructed at a cost of $4.2 million. The building occupies two acres of land with the roof reaching 90 feet above the playing surface and almost 100,000 square feet of space in the main seating area.
The arena was re-dedicated in 1988 as Coleman Coliseum in honor of Jeff Coleman, a long-time Crimson Tide historian, business manager for athletics and alumni director that served on the committee that oversaw construction and planning of the Coliseum.
The coliseum houses athletic department offices (except for football, swimming, rowing and men's tennis), the ticket and Tide Pride offices, a club level room (the Crimson Tide Room), a President's reception area (the C.M. Newton Room), an auxiliary gymnasium, an equipment room, weight rooms, steam bath, training room, food service areas, photo studios, and locker room facilities for staff and athletes.
Coleman Coliseum underwent one of its biggest transformations in the first two seasons of Anthony Grant's tenure as new locker rooms and meeting areas for men's basketball were created within the existing structure. The expansion and renovation of the men's basketball facilities created an all-encompassing working space for the men's basketball program, connecting the main playing arena with the practice facility while establishing a first-class locker room, weight room, training room and team lounge.
The University of Alabama Athletics Department is committed to providing complete accessibility to all facilities, fair and equal treatment of all patrons and guests, and meaningful compliance with the letter and spirit of the law.
Alcoholic beverages of any kind are prohibited at Alabama athletics events.
All public restrooms on the main concourse are equipped with baby changing stations.
The Coleman Coliseum Ticket office opens two hours prior to tip-off at the main entrance to the Coliseum.
Point and shoot cameras are permitted inside the arena, but no flash photography is allowed. Professional cameras with lenses greater than 3 inches are prohibited. Video cameras are prohibited.
The Crimson Tide Room is located on the upper concourse on the east side of Coleman Coliseum. Private functions are held before each home game. Entry will begin when the Coliseum doors open to the general public.
There are six concession stands on the main concourse level.
There are four elevators in Coleman Coliseum. For basketball games, the elevator is accessible to any patron with a disability from the upper level to the lower level. However, we request usage only when necessary.
There are entrance doors located on the upper north (main lobby), east, and south sides of Coleman Coliseum. Additional entrance doors are located on the bottom level of the arena at the north, south, east and west corners of building.
Emergency medical personnel are on duty at each athletics event. Medical personnel can be contacted during an event by notifying the nearest event staff member, usher, security guard, or going to the ticket office located on the upper north or east concourse and informing them of the situation and location of the incident.
Bringing in outside food or drink is strictly prohibited.
Gates are open two hours prior to tip-off for Alabama students for basketball games.
Please visit the Group Ticket Sales page on RollTide.com for the latest information.
Coleman Coliseum has 3,000 paved and marked parking spaces within the lighted lot and is patrolled by the UA Police Department on a regular basis.
All bags will be searched upon entry into the facility. Except for items pertaining to medical conditions or child care, all bags, backpacks, video cameras, large cases for binoculars or other items, fanny packs and large purses (larger than 10x10 inches) are prohibited in Coleman Coliseum.
Prohibited items must be returned to the owner's car or discarded. Any unlawful items are subject to confiscation, and the person in possession is subject to arrest.
Prohibited items include:
There is no re-entry for fans at Coleman Coliseum.
In the event that there is a threat of a tornado or other severe weather patrons in Coleman Coliseum may go to the floor level main floor and hallways for safety. Patrons sitting in the upper levels of the arena should go to the upper concourse, concourse restrooms, and concession stands.
Smoking is prohibited in Coleman Coliseum.
The distribution of promotional items, handbills, flyers, pamphlets, printed materials, or any other forms of solicitation are not permitted. All inquiries must be processed and approved by Crimson Tide Sports Marketing. Call (205) 348-9600.
Several water fountains are located on the main concourse near the bathrooms on the northeast, northwest, southwest, and southeast sections of the arena.

Action against GM maize in Spain, August 2003
The fundamental basis for genetic engineering (GE) is a theory or 'dogma' that dates from the 1950s and is now considered over-simplistic. GE is a crude and old fashioned technology which has lead to the many surprises and unexpected effects associated with GE organisms. As such the effects of GE crops on the environment and human health cannot be reliably predicted. Therefore, no GE organisms should be released into the environment or the food chain.
This collection of documents was prepared for the DNA anniversary on April 25th 2003. They detail the underlying scientific basis for Greenpeace's campaign to prevent deliberate releases of GE organisms to the environment.
This document is a scientific review of changes in the understanding of the complexity of gene expression over the last 50 years and how this complexity renders the fundamental paradigm of GE technology invalid. It also looks at how the latest DNA knowledge and gene functionality could be used in plant breeding without the use of GE. Download PDF
A chronology of scientific developments and GE developments since 1953. Scientific progress reveals increasing complexity in the control of gene expression, but the GE industry neglects this complexity and instead moves rapidly towards commercialisation of GE products. Download PDF

In an unprecedented move, Patterson Kia of Arlington has become the first dealer in Texas to accept Bitcoin as payment for their new and used vehicles. This announcement follows on the heels of the Lamborghini, McLaren, Land Rover, and Dodge/Jeep/Ram dealerships that also accept the cryptocurrency as well.
The reason for accepting Bitcoins is so that customers could have an additional way to pay for the vehicles. The dealership itself already has streamlined the buying process, enabling non-commissioned salespeople to assist customers with purchasing a vehicle as quickly as possible. Patterson Kia has teamed up with Coinbase, a Bitcoin processing system. Using Bitcoin also makes sense from a security standpoint, as customers can make the purchase at the dealership with their smartphones, or before they even set foot in the dealership.
For those that may not be familiar with how Bitcoin works, one can accumulate them through "mining", which is based on a network of computers that helps regulate the amount that one can consume at any given time.
Based on the current rate, one can purchase a new (or pre-owned) Kia for just a few Bitcoins. The market rate fluctuates on a consistent basis, so timing is critical. Fortunately, with the ability to purchase Bitcoins almost anonymously, this can reduce the risk of fraud, as well as increase the amount of privacy that is welcomed online. In addition, the Bitcoins are secured in an encrypted online wallet with a private key, further enhancing the safety and security of purchasing large-scale items.
Customers can begin purchasing vehicles from Patterson Kia immediately, according to Tom Dyer, the Internet Sales Director for the Arlington dealership. For more information, interested parties can reach the dealership here.

This Rick Rubin–assisted Adore outtake is everything the 1998 LP's singles weren't: a straightforward, upbeat pop song in which Billy Corgan has fun rhyming "dest-o-ny" with "soliloquy." It's got all the marks of the Pumpkins' big hits, making the decision to hold it in favor of "Ava Adore" all the more frustrating.

ACU Sneaks By Texas Tech
Amber Battle scored 26 points and 11 rebounds for her fourth double-double.
Dec. 22, 2013
LUBBOCK, Texas -- Texas Tech junior guard Amber Battle scored her fourth double-double of the season with 26 points and 11 rebounds but Abilene Christian hit two free throws in the final seconds to sneak by with a 58-57 win on Sunday in the final game of the World Vision Challenge at United Spirit Arena.
Battle earned All-Tournament Team and MVP honors after averaging 23.3 points and 7.7 rebounds in the three games over the weekend. Audrisa Harrison, who had 18 rebounds on Saturday, also earned All-Tournament team honors.
Tech (6-5) finishes non-conference play with its second home loss of the season.
"Obviously we're disappointed," Texas Tech head coach Candi Whitaker said. "I didn't think we came out with the energy and intensity that we needed to put ourselves in a great situation. I still thought we had plenty of opportunities down at certain points in the game to finish and make plays and we just weren't able to do that."
The Lady Raiders jumped out to a 16-8 lead as Abilene Christian turned it over seven times. But then the Wildcats began getting second chance points off of offensive rebounds and closed out the half with a 10-2 run to take a 30-24 lead into the break.
ACU (9-5) would hold the lead throughout most of the second half after Battle and Minta Spears scored quickly following the break to tie it at 35-35. The Wildcats led by as many as 12 before Tech mounted a 18-5 run capped off by Spears' 3-pointer to take a 57-56 lead with 47 seconds remaining.
Spears would miss the front end of a 1-and-1 with 21 seconds left giving ACU the chance for the win. Lizzy Dimba drew the foul inside off of Kellyn Schneider and hit both free throws with 3.2 seconds left to close out the 58-57 win.
The Lady Raiders will have 10 days before starting Big 12 Conference play on Jan. 2 vs. No. 20 Oklahoma at United Spirit Arena.

Oscar Peterson (1925-2007)
With the passing of Oscar Peterson, we have lost one of the last representatives of the great post-war generation of pianists who redefined the role of the keyboard in jazz music. We will almost certainly never again see such a concentration of creativity and individuality as the jazz world experienced during the late 1940s and 1950s when most fans first heard the music of Oscar Peterson, Bud Powell, Erroll Garner, Bill Evans, Lennie Tristano, Horace Silver, Thelonious Monk, Ahmad Jamal, Dave Brubeck, and George Shearing. Most of these pianists are now gone. We will need to be content with appreciating their artistry through recordings and the occasional surviving video -- and in our cherished memories of seeing them perform in person.
Oscar Peterson was perhaps the easiest of these musicians to appreciate. His strong sense of swing and virtuoso technique could even move listeners who had little appreciation of the jazz idiom. The virtues of his work were so striking and obvious that it is something of a puzzle how otherwise astute critics could so easily ignore them. Miles Davis, in a famous put-down, once commented that Peterson sounded as if he had to learn how to play the blues. The late Martin Williams – one of the most astute critics ever to write about jazz – dismissed Peterson's work as a "stockpile of clichés . . . He seems to know every stock riff and lick in the history of jazz." For both Davis and Williams, the sheer abundance of Peterson's work, the dramatic and rapid-fire manner he tossed off melodic ideas, somehow made him suspect. Peterson was the improvisatory equivalent of a fire hose, and these critics wanted a small bottle of Evian water.
But there is a place in every art form for fireworks and bravura gestures. Peterson was the most dramatic pianist of his generation, and to see him at top form was an exhilarating experience. I recall guitarist Joe Pass (a great virtuoso in his own right) once noting that if you wanted to play fast with Oscar, he could play fast; and if you wanted to go faster, Oscar could go faster -- Pass shaking his head at this point, like the fan at a NASCAR event who has just seen some death-defying move on the track. To play fast and clean and true is a litmus test for jazz musicians. It always has been and always will be. And among jazz players of his era, no one played faster or cleaner or truer than Oscar Peterson.
Here are some of my favorite Oscar Peterson moments: his driving two-hand boogie work on "Blues Etude"; a surprisingly restrained and introspective solo version of Ellington's "Lady of the Lavender Mist" from an early Pablo release; his duets with Dizzy Gillespie and Roy Eldridge and several other trumpeters from this same period; his sensitive contributions as an accompanist on a number of classic Verve recordings; his underrated Nat-King-Cole-ish vocal work; and his various collaborations with the great Joe Pass. If you haven't heard the latter combination in a while, check out this clip of Peterson and Pass playing "My One and Only Love."

I was fiddling around w/stereo --a rather large speaker in a Dumont tv and a Revere T1100 tape recorder-- in the early '50s. Another Oscar (Goodstein then manager of the original Birdland) had given me a 45 EP of Peterson's 1st appearance @ JATP in '49. I put on the record and immediately fell backwards. My mother, who was a piano player, came into the room dishtowel and a dish still in hand and asked , "Who are THEY?" I never took my meager efforts at the piano seriously again. A student of OP's, pianist/arranger/bandleader Mike Longo, once told me that he had studied w/Oscar, "That's why I'm so propolsive." To which I replied, I studied w/Felix, that's why I'm so compulsive."

Peterson anecdote: OSCAR PETERSON ANECDOTE Oscar, after having visited friends outside of London, was waiting for a train back – the train station platform was on the foggy side when he spotted a man that looked familiar. He approached him and asked would he be Charles Laughton. Laughton replied he was and Oscar told him how much he enjoyed his work. Laughton then asked Oscar his name and what he did and when Oscar said he was a pianist, Laughton asked, "Jazz or Classical?" and when Oscar said jazz, Laughton asked him if he had any pot. When Oscar's answer was negative, Laughton walked away. Pepper Adams told me that Charles and Elsa Lanchester were known to serve pot as the post dinner course at their home. Len Dobbin

My milkshake brings 85 to 90 percent of the boys to the yard

Alright really....this might be the most ridiculous one on this page. I bet your milkshake is an doubleXL and the only reason 85 to 90 percent are running is because you probably had toilet paper hanging out your ass.
I heard this at a comedy show weeks ago, and its still funny
"There is a 95 to 100 percent chance I find this hilarious."
well it WAS funny.. you ruined it. w2g
This is one of the funniest things I've ever heard.
There is a 95 to 100 percent chance I find this hilarious.
CRACK me up! :)
I'm 100% 50/50 that I am still laughing about it
There's a t-shirt with this premise. By far one of the funniest things I've ever read.
extra points for me laughing so loud i woke up my roommate!

Would've brought more if the flavor wasn't vanilla
Totally talked about this one on Bob
Haha!! Too funny
I am rolling. Funny as hell!
It's good to be honest about the realities of your milkshake.

This is a good, fairly gentle body wash for use on baby's skin but it is not fragrance-free. It contains benzaldehyde, which is used chiefly for fragrance (it smells of almonds). Although fragrance-free is best for baby's skin, this remains an option for use on babies, especially I dry skin or eczema is a problem. The cleansing agents are gentle and the formula contains a couple of good moisturizing ingredients to prevent it from leaving skin feeling dry or tight. Although designed for babies, it is suitable for adults, too, unless oily or breakout-prone skin from the neck down is present.

Comments about Aveeno Soothing Relief Creamy Wash, Fragrance Free:
I have used this product as a makeup removing face wash for many years. I am very pleased. I have mild rosacea, normal-to-dry skin. I wear a heavy spf daily, so I need something that can thoroughly remove sunscreen and makeup. I rub a quarter sized drop all over my dry face including eye makeup (eyes closed, of course) then add a splash of warm water and lather. My face never feels tight after using this. It has a very light scent.

Good baby wash for dry skin
By McKell S.
My son has sensitive skin with some eczema. I try to use fragrance free products to help his skin. This product seems to work well. The ingredient list on the back of the bottle is different than the ingredients listed here. It would be nice to have an updated review of this product.

By Tasha P.
This should get a BEST rating now that it no longer contains benzaldehyde. I bought this and the Aveeno Cleansing Therapy Wash to try on my 2 1/2 year old daughter's extremely sensitive skin. Both are fragrance free, but the Cleansing Therapy has an odd smell and the Soothing Wash has no smell. The C/T is a bit more moisturizing, but the S/W is tear-free so I can use it on her face. She cried when I used the C/T (the smell?) and when I used the S/W she said, "I like it! It feels comfortable!"
Aveeno Baby Soothing Relief Creamy Wash is specially formulated with natural colloidal oatmeal and rich emollients blended into a creamy wash that gently cleanses to soothe and relieve dry skin, even dry skin from eczema.
Water, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Glycerin, PEG-80 Sorbitan Laurate, Sodium Trideceth Sulfate, Acrylates Crosspolymer, Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Flour, Sodium Benzoate, Styrene Acrylates Copolymer, Mineral Oil (Paraffinum Liquidum), Polyquaternium 7, Tetrasodium EDTA, PEG 45M, Benzaldehyde
Aveeno At-A-Glance
Strengths: A few good cleansers and sunscreen products; fantastic Skin Relief Healing Ointment and soothing bath wash products; a handful of well-formulated baby-care products.
Weaknesses: Well-intentioned but ineffective anti-acne products; reliance on a single showcased ingredient (typically soy) that makes their anti-aging products less enticing than the competition; ineffective products to address hyperpigmentation; formulas packaged in a jar won't remain stable.
Beginning with its first product in 1945, Soothing Bath Treatment, still sold today as part of the company's Baby line of products, Aveeno has prided itself on using natural ingredients. In some ways, they were a pioneer in the field, though for years the only natural ingredient of note in their products was oatmeal. Consumer products giant Johnson & Johnson purchased the brand in 1999, and wasted almost no time expanding it. A handful of bar cleansers and bath products were spun off into complete collections of facial-care products and an ever-growing number of body lotions and washes, not to mention shaving gels (Aveeno is one of the few companies whose shaving gels are truly fragrance-free).
Not surprisingly, many of the facial-care products from Aveeno are similar to those from Johnson & Johnson–owned Neutrogena. The differences typically lie in the natural ingredients each brand promotes. A cornerstone ingredient for Aveeno is soy, while Neutrogena has experimented (with varying degrees of success) with copper, retinol, salicylic acid, and melibiose. Overall, Neutrogena has a much larger and more comprehensive selection of products, though their formulas are also more problematic. Aveeno would do well to diversify a bit, or at least acknowledge that it takes more than a single star ingredient to provide superior skin-care products. As is, most of their anti-wrinkle products don't compete favorably with the more well-rounded options, not just from Neutrogena but also from Olay, Dove, and, in some respects, L'Oreal.
Getting back to the issue of soy, you'll see from the reviews it is indeed a helpful ingredient for skin—just not in the same multifaceted, does-everything manner Aveeno touts on each soy-containing product's package. A big proponent for Aveeno's use of soy is dermatologist Dr. Jeannette Graf. She is quoted on Aveeno's web site, stating that "It is now clear that the ability of natural soy to deliver multiple benefits to skin plays a lead role in high performance skin care." That sounds great but it doesn't explain why Aveeno ignores research on countless other antioxidants, skin-identical ingredients, or cell-communicating ingredients, all elements Dr. Graf uses in her separate, namesake product line. Interestingly, with Graf's own products relying on a blend of efficacious ingredients, including soy, it's a good question why she decided to endorse Aveeno's one-note soy products.
The bottom line is that when it comes to shopping for skin-care products at the drugstore, Aveeno, for all its talk of being a leader in "Active Naturals," doesn't have the all-inclusive product assortment needed to take the best possible care of your skin. However, paying attention to their top offerings is time (and money) well-spent!

STARKVILLE, Miss. - On Saturday, March 8, the Mississippi State Student-Athlete M-Club will collect canned food and non-perishable food items in the Mize Pavilion concourse just inside Humphrey Coliseum before the Bulldog basketball team plays South Carolina. Gates will open at 1:30 and tip-off slated for 3 p.m.
Donations will go towards the Million Meals Challenge which is a cooperative program between Mississippi State, Ole Miss, the University of Memphis, and The Kroger Company. All items will go to the Mississippi Food Network whose mission is to relieve poverty-related hunger in the area by distributing donated and purchased food and grocery products through a network of member churches and nonprofit organizations.
The M-Club is a community outreach program for current student-athletes and, in addition to other on-campus departments, donated over 347,608 meals in 2012 through a combination of pounds in food, money, and volunteer hours. Mississippi State is on pace to shatter that mark in 2013-2014 athletic year.
Once again, canned food & non-perishable food items can be dropped off at the Kroger table on the Humphrey Coliseum concourse just inside the Mize Pavilion this Saturday, March 8, between 1:30-3 p.m.

Alison Stewart, U.S. Forest Service spokeswoman, stresses that it's essential to have information on-hand of how your urban and community forests benefit stormwater management, water and air quality, human health and well-being, property values, and other contributions to the local economy. Communicating this information to decision-makers as they decide where to direct funding and how to address federal and state stormwater, clean air, and clean water requirements should be a vital part of your job description.

"Unfortunately, some of the potentially most destructive pests in urban forests have become more troublesome," says the U.S. Forest Service's Alison Stewart.
This is because these pests are on the move. The emerald ash borer, for example, is moving westward, and new populations of the Asian longhorned beetle have been discovered in New England.
Other pests and diseases urban foresters should watch for include bacterial leaf scorch, sudden oak death, gypsy moth, and hemlock woolly adelgid. "But detecting the not-yet-known pest may be even more critical," says Stewart.
In the Western states, entomologists are warning that black walnut trees may face extinction due to "thousand canker" disease, caused by a fungus recently found on native walnut twig beetles. And, in the Rocky Mountain region, Aspen trees are dying by the thousands. A prolonged drought, warmer temperatures, and even the lack of forest fires may have allowed parasites to flourish and cause "Sudden Aspen Decline." National forests are cutting dying aspen stands in several areas to encourage root sprouting and regenerate dying forests.
One near-extinct tree, however, may be on the comeback trail. The American Chestnut Foundation reported in September that recent plantings of a blight-resistant version of the American chestnut tree survived their first year in Eastern states. Taking a cue from the foundation, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has been deploying scientists to collect seeds from ash trees so they can be stored in the cooperative National Plant Germplasm System, with intent to engineer trees resistant to the emerald ash borer and reintroduce them within the next 20 years.

Windows Phone 7 is Hotel California for microSD cards
Once you check in you can never leave
GOOD ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH when it comes to microSD cards for Microsoft's special Windows Phone 7 (WP7) smartphone operating system.
Those WP7 devices that have removable storage - and there aren't many - not only need special microSD cards but once in the smartphone, the card cannot be used with any other device, not even to format it. The news comes after US mobile operator AT&T told customers who had purchased Samsung's Focus WP7 smartphone to hold off on microSD card purchases.
Typically microSD cards are characterised on a "class" scale, used to simplify the marketing of read and write speeds. While the basic read/write speed specification is fine for just about every other device out there, it doesn't cut the mustard with the Vole. No, it cares about random access speed, something that isn't really taken into account in the SD Association's classification.
Obviously the microSD card supplied with the Samsung Focus works fine, but should users want to upgrade, it's either a case of waiting until microSD cards carrying a WP7 premium tip up or chancing the purchase of a card that works fine on just about every other device.
Aside from random access speeds, once a microSD card has been used with a WP7 device, it cannot be read or written to by any other device. It cannot even be formatted for use elsewhere, according to Samsung.
Considering performance metrics aside from throughput is commendable, however given that the SD Association has used throughput as the basis of card classification for a number of years, Microsoft's decision is likely to simply add confusion and ultimately frustration for consumers. As for the SD card lock-in, that's Microsoft harking back to its interpretation of "open standards".
With this level of device lock-in, we're not sure if Steve Jobs will be jealous that Microsoft bested him with a walled garden that's locked up even tighter than his, with it's 'support' for removable storage. µ

We are also going to be tapping another cask of Johnny Cask 75 IPA this Thursday. As the weather warms up and the spring rains continue our hop vines are beginning to make their way towards the top of the building. We are hoping to get both great shade on our deck as well as some harvestable hop flowers to add to a brewpub exclusive in the fall. In addition to our Pale India Ale we have an abbey dubble conditioning and hoping to release that in the next week or so. Keep an eye out for news of Altar Boy being tapped at our Rehoboth brewpub.Summer officially kicked off with Memorial Day Weekend. Friday night May 22 Eric Lindell and his band lit up the stage with his New Orleans inspired blues guitar. The show was a huge hit and over $1000 was raised to support the Light up the Queen foundation, an effort to refurbish the historic Queen Theater in Wilmington De. Check out www.lightupthequeen.org for more information and upcoming events. Saturday night we hosted Jamie Mclean another New Orleans based guitarist for a full weekend of down home blues that kept the aisles packed until closing time. This weekend we have some more great music featuring Perkasie on Friday night. This indie folk band out of Lancaster is poised for greatness. Catch them at the pub before they get to big to play on our stage again. Saturday is the return of Slimfit a high energy roots rock band. Check out the happenings page for our complete music schedule. It was about two years ago that we started a little experiment in our distillery and this weekend marks the release of BE. A spirit distilled from honey and aged in an oak barrel with Maple Syrup for about a year. This smooth, amber spirit has hints of oak, wild flower honey and caramel sweet finish and is on sale at the pub Friday. Our seasonal infused vodkas are Strawberry Vodka and Cinnamon Vodka. Come on down and check out the distillery, tours are offered Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday afternoons at 4:30PM. See you at the Pub-Jason

Trends in California Wine from Evan Goldstein, MS
Categories: Consumer News, General, Member News, Wine
Sonoma County Vintners just got back from a whirlwind tour of Canada, visiting Montreal and Toronto with the Wine Institute's California Wine Fair, and presenting Master Class blind tastings of Sonoma County wines conducted by Evan Goldstein, MS of Full Circle Wine Solutions.
The WineAlign Blog did a nice job capturing the highlights of the fair, as well as pointing out Evan's Top Ten Trends in California Wine. Some of them are bearing out here in Sonoma County, while others are building in other wine regions of our state. It's a thought-provoking list, so here it is:
Top Ten California Wine Trends – Evan Goldstein, MS
1) The resurgence of white wines led by pinot grigio and moscato
2) The chardonnay renaissance and the death of the ABC (Anything But Chardonnay) movement
3) The rise of natural wines
4) The growth of alternative varietals (non-cabernet, chard, pinot, zin)
5) The rise of new cool climate terroirs "at the edge of ripeness"
6) Rethinking the traditional wine list and restaurant wine service
7) Redefining palates with new styles and blends
8) Wine on tap
9) The rise of bloggers and social media
10) Sommeliers becoming winemakers
Do you agree that these are top trends in California wine or do you feel some are missing that should be listed?
Here is a link to the full WineAlign Blog post, "Trend Spotting at the California Wine Fair", offering a view of California wines from Canada. Interesting reading: http://www.winealign.com/blog/2012/04/09/trend-spotting-at-the-california-wine-fair/
