I would like to thank the Honorable Minister Bathabile Dlamini for the opportunity to participate in this important conference and to highlight how essential it is for children and youth who are affected by HIV and AIDS to continue being a priority in our efforts to mitigate the effects of HIV and AIDS. The U.S. Government and the American people, through the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (or PEPFAR), are proud to be in partnership with the Department of Social Development in supporting this groundbreaking conference. We believe in the power of partnership and this conference has been a true partnership.
No generation is spared the catastrophic consequences of the AIDS pandemic. From newborn babies of HIV-positive mothers to elderly caregivers, the disease does not discriminate. One of the most tragic consequences is the toll on our children.
Every year, this event brings together the world's champions in food security. I look around the room and see nutrition experts, food scientists, and humanitarian leaders. I see advocates from both sides of the aisle who recognize that the face of hunger is not a partisan issue, but a moral one—and one of great importance to our shared security and prosperity. Looking around the room, it is clear we have the expertise, tools, and new approaches to end hunger.
Most importantly, it's clear we have the leadership.
Over the last three years, under the personal and committed leadership of President Obama, Feed the Future has worked to translate a global vision of food security into sustainable impact that are lifting millions of people from poverty and giving them a foothold in the global economy. For generations, this aspiration—of a world without hunger—has guided American engagement in development.
USAID is supportive of the goals of IHP+, and we welcome opportunities to collaborate more effectively with countries and development partners in accelerating progress toward reaching the Millennium Development Goals. USAID is delighted to sign the IHP+ Global Compact for a variety of reasons.
It is also my honor to be here today because your education represents something unique in our world. Even since the giants of industry—Andrew Carnegie and Andrew Mellon—first established their footprints here in Pittsburgh, this city has served at the frontier of American innovation and philanthropy—proving what is possible when you apply both your heart and your mind.
With backgrounds as diverse as engineering and history, Heinz scholars learn to apply these principles to their own work—bringing analytic rigor to public policy and compassion to analytics. It is here—at what Steve Jobs called the intersection of technology and liberal arts—that ideas gain influence and action has real meaning.
It is a great honor to participate in the fortieth anniversary of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) policy fellowship program. I'd like to begin by thanking Alan Leshner, Cynthia Robinson, and their colleagues in the diplomacy security and development program for partnering with USAID, and to Alex Dehgan for his superb leadership in the science and technology arena at USAID. And I'll extend a particularly warm welcome to all of our current and former USAID AAAS fellows, who have enriched our Agency.
Good afternoon! I am really excited to be here today. Indeed, from the day that Tom first shared with me an early draft, I have been waiting impatiently for this book to be published. And now that the day has come, I must start by congratulating the authors – both Tom and Diane, and note how pleased I am to see such a crowded room for this launch.
We are here today to reaffirm our interest and commitment to following up on the outcomes of the Copenhagen Consultation in 2012 to provide ourselves with a new tool in our work in promoting sustainable economic growth around the world. This is essential if we are to fulfill the vision we all share for the future. Indeed, two months ago, President Barack Obama pledged in his State of the Union address that the United States will join with our allies to eradicate extreme poverty in the next two decades. He said that this will be achieved by connecting more people to the global economy and empowering women; by giving our young and brightest minds new opportunities to serve; by helping communities to feed, power and educate themselves; by saving the world's children from preventable deaths; and by realizing the promise of an AIDS-free generation.
It is my pleasure to join you to mark the 2013 Vietnamese Disabilities Day and talk about our joint efforts to encourage and support Vietnamese with disabilities.
Tôi vinh dự được cùng quý vị kỷ niệm Ngày người Khuyết tật Việt nam 2013 và phát biểu về nỗ lực chung của chúng ta nhằm khuyến khích và hỗ trợ người khuyết tật Việt Nam.
I must admit that it's daunting to speak before religious scholars, and organizations such as Catholic Relief Services, St. Egidio, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, the U.S. Institute of Peace, and Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies. I feel like the man who was asked to speak about Whale Anatomy, and as he looks into the audience, he sees Jonah.
The task is made less daunting by the recognition that Pope John's 23rd encyclical is accessible throughout five decades. In the 1960's, it's accessible during nuclear disarmament and an end to the arms race, as well as decolonization and an end to the caste system dividing nations. It can be applied to the 1970's, as we witnessed gender equality and women's empowerment on the rise, and an end to racial and ethnic prejudice and discrimination. We can look to it as we committed to treatises on the inter-connection of global human rights and peace in the 1980's. And in the 1990's, it's useful at the need to ensure that growing science and technology is pursued not as a goal of its own but as a means toward the betterment of mankind. More recently, perhaps not surprising given my position as USAID's Deputy Administrator, it is a strong endorsement of foreign assistance as a means of building peaceful, stable societies. It may sound self-serving since my agency's budget is going to the Hill tomorrow, but paragraph 88 reminds us:

Italian label Champagne Records just decided to hook us all up this summer. Parrot Bay Vol. 1. Its breezy, blissful, bouncy and free! 32 tracks deep this compilation is packed with nice jams. How do I describe this collection? Dreamy, Bright, Sunny, Relaxing and Energizing all at once. I am just feeling the presentation. Its more than a sampler, there is thought to the selection, like a playlist. You can seriously throw this collection on and rock it straight through. Having said that, you know how we snobs of music can tend to be, I had a few favorites, Josh aka Goldroom had a couple favorites as well, after I gave his favorites a few spins I wanted to go back in time and have picked those joints over my initial suggestions. Do over?… That dude has an EAR. Anyway, I am now, generously, in turn, putting y'all onto these choice numbers like he, and of course the fabulous Champagne Records Crew were kind enough to do with me. Check it out:
DJ Las K – Tiramisu by Champagne Records
"Tiramisu:" Nice groovy fade in, got some soulful elements happening and then the beat drops and the DJ starts earning his title, this cut has that "dj deep in his groove" type feeling that always makes me look good while people get all stoked on what's going on in the song and I front it off like I am making mad shit happen. Yeah you're welcome, I know "tearing it up." The groove and vibes have a very welcoming, open feel and this cut could also serve as a great segue between a variety of different genres. Whatever the setting DJ Las K has successfully captured a dope moment, bringing that good-times type feel and steady groove. Nice track.
GonZo – Waves High by Champagne Records
This cut drifts in, airy vocals, filters, disco bassline and effects; there's a feeling of expectation here, subtle drops and gentle builds. I like the mellow synth work, understated and moody. It's a beautiful track really, capturing that carefree thematic party vibe associated with Disco while adding another more restrained soul element. Nice cut. So there you have it, really you can't go wrong with anything off of this compilation, it's that choice. Cruise over to their Soundcloud and get up on this package. Also make sure to support future releases from the label and artists. Thanks guys, Good looking out.

Future uncertain for upcoming HBO series
HBO's upcoming Lily Tomlin series "12 Miles of Bad Road" has hit a bumpy patch.
Six episodes of the skein were written before the writers strike, and production shut down after those episodes were shot.
HBO originally ordered 10 segs of the skein; the cabler said it's now in discussions with series exec producers Linda Bloodworth-Thomason and Harry Thomason on how to proceed.
As with several new shows at other networks that saw orders interrupted by the strike, it's unclear now whether the remaining "12 Miles" segs will be produced.
Hourlong comedy revolves around a Dallas real estate agent and her family. Cast also includes Mary Kay Place and Gary Cole.
Meanwhile, HBO is busy pulling out all the scheduling stops to expose more viewers to its critically acclaimed new entry "In Treatment."
All this week HBO2 is airing the first four weeks' worth of episodes, from 10 p.m. to midnight.
Also, HBO Signature will begin airing "In Treatment" episodes Sundays at 9 p.m. beginning Feb. 24. The digital channel will run a full week's worth of half-hour segs, back to back, starting with the five episodes from week one on Feb. 24, the five segs from week two on March 2 and so on.
HBO which airs new episodes Monday through Friday at 9:30 p.m. Show runs for a total of nine weeks.
"In Treatment" stars Gabriel Byrne as a therapist; each night features him with a different patient, played by Melissa George (Mondays), Blair Underwood (Tuesdays), Mia Wasikowska (Wednesdays) and Josh Charles and Embeth Davidtz (Thursdays). Dianne Wiest plays Byrne's therapist on Friday segs.

Contributing to an RRSP is still one of the most popular and tax-effective ways to save for your retirement. Your financial security and investment representative has the tools to help you build a portfolio to help you meet your retirement goals.
To help Canadians save for retirement, the federal government makes tax allowances for those who contribute to registered plans.
You can save in 2 ways:
Each year, Canadians may contribute the lesser of up to 18% of their earned income or the maximum annual RRSP deduction limit that is set by Canada Revenue Agency. Check the Canada Revenue Agency website for this year's annual RRSP deduction limit. If you don't contribute the maximum amount, you may accumulate the leftover room. Once contributed, the money becomes "registered."
Since you receive tax benefits from contributing to an RRSP, there are restrictions on withdrawals. To deregister or withdraw funds, you must pay tax, an administrative fee and any fees associated with the investments.
However, in 2 instances1 you may withdraw funds without taxes:
Home Buyers' Plan – allows you to withdraw up to $25,000 from RRSPs to buy or build a qualifying home for yourself (as a first-time home buyer).
Lifelong Learning Plan – allows you to withdraw money from RRSPs to finance training or education for you or your spouse or common-law partner. You cannot use these RRSP funds to finance a child's education.
You can use our investment products—segregated fund policies, mutual funds and guaranteed interest options—in your RRSP. To create an integrated retirement savings plan that meets your personal needs, talk to your financial security and investment representative.
Do you have unused RRSP contribution room? Taking out an investment loan to reduce your RRSP contribution room may improve your financial situation, both now and at retirement.
Under the rules governing registered retirement savings plans (RRSPs), you must collapse these plans by the last day of the year in which you turn 71. Great-West gives you a number of income options.

text: Q: On Friday there was an incident in downtown Washington involving what was originally thought to be a biological agent, and it was responded to by the FBI and by the District government. The District government is one of... The only city governments, municipal governments, at this point that has received some training from the Pentagon in how to respond to that. I understand there's a special health unit in Washington that as been trained to spring into action on these situations. Can you tell us what sort of role you have played in that situation and what other assistance the military offered on Friday? A: What kind of role the District of Columbia special health unit played in that situation? That's what you want to know? Q: Right. A: Let me deconstruct your lengthy question, if I can use an academic term. The Defense Department did give some limited training to a unit of the D.C. Government called the Metropolitan Medical Strike Team. We did that training prior to the inauguration in January of 1997. In addition, as you know we have a new program that's being put into effect under a piece of legislation called Nunn/Lugar/Domenici, which is a domestic preparedness law to help... It calls for the federal government to train state and local governments in ways to deal with weapons of mass destruction. There will be assessments done of the WMD response capabilities of 27 cities this year, and Washington, D.C. is among those cities, but I don't think the assessment has taken place yet. I think it takes place maybe next week, the end of this week or next week for Washington, D.C. To refer specifically to the medical strike team in the District of Columbia, that's part of a broader, hazardous material team, I gather. In the District of Columbia. That was the team that was called out by District authorities in the course of this threat last week. Q: Was the special health team called out? A: It's not my impression that it was, but the FBI ran this operation. We didn't run the operation. It was the FBI that was in charge. Now the FBI issued a press release on April 24th in which it said that the District's hazardous materials team performed superbly. The "it" referred to the broader hazardous materials team, which is sort of the father of the medical strike team, in the District. Q: ...or any other military unit specializing in biological or chemical hazards to assist the FBI on Friday? Was it made by telephone? A: The only assistance I'm aware we gave was that the material was taken to the Naval Medical Research Institute where it was evaluated and found not to be a biological agent. Q: Since the military is working on this preparedness program with cities, is the military at all involved in assessing how the district performed in this situation? A: As I said, this was an FBI operation. The FBI ran it. We provided the help the FBI asked us to provide -- no more, no less. The FBI actually complimented us on the help we provided through the Naval Medical Research Institute. I think they're the people to comment on what happened in the District and what sort of people rallied around to help resolve that potential problem.

HONIARA, Solomon Islands -- Landslides and a tsunami destroyed the homes of about one-third of the population on a Solomon Island, but lives were likely spared as residents with memories of previous disasters fled quickly to higher ground, officials said Tuesday.
From the air, extensive damage could be seen on a remote western island after a 7.2-magnitude temblor triggered the landslides in the Pacific Solomon Islands on Monday, said disaster management office director Loti Yates.
No injuries have been reported some 30 hours after the biggest in a series of quakes churned a tsunami wave that was up to 10 feet (3 meters) high as it plowed into the coast, officials said.
However, more than 1,000 people have been affected after some 200 houses were destroyed on Rendova, an island some 190 miles (300 kilometers) from the capital Honiara. Only 3,600 people live on Rendova.
Photographs taken from police helicopters Tuesday showed debris lining the foreshore and damaged houses on the coasts of Rendova and Tetepare, as well as deep scars on hills and cliffs caused by landslides.
Hillsides crashed down and the tsunami inundated homes Monday, but residents' memories of earlier disasters probably helped prevent any casualties, officials and residents said.
In April 2007, an 8.1 temblor unleashed a tsunami that killed more than 50 people. A quake-churned tsunami that killed more than 200 on nearby Samoa and Tonga in September was another reminder, locals said.
"People are very sensitive, as a quake conjures up memories, and people immediately begin going to higher ground," police commissioner Peter Marshall told The Associated Press.
"The fact it was daylight, the isolated nature of the wave and that the landslides were in a relatively sparsely populated area" also helped, he said.
The largest quake - magnitude 7.2 - happened about 9:30 a.m. local time Monday and caused the tsunami to hit the coast a short time later. At least nine other quakes greater than magnitude 5.0 have rocked the earthquake-prone region since, including three Tuesday night. One measured magnitude 6.9 and generated a tsunami about an inch high.
In the provincial capital Gizo, dive shop owner Danny Kennedy said the general rule is that "if there's anything more than 20 seconds of shaking or any sea water recedes, head for the hills."
A police boat patrolled Tuesday to check the coastline, where many homes are at sea level, making them vulnerable to tsunamis, National Disaster Management Office spokesman Julian Makaa said. No casualties had been reported so far, he said.
One village, Retavo, home to about 20 people, was reportedly completely inundated by a wall of sea water up to 10 feet (3 meters) high, but Makaa said no deaths or injuries had been reported there.
Emergency food, water and tarpaulins were being shipped in.
The Solomon Islands lie on the "Ring of Fire" - an arc of earthquake and volcanic zones that stretches around the Pacific Rim and where about 90 percent of the world's quakes occur.

UPDATED Thursday, June 19, 2014 --- 2:04 p.m.

UPDATED Monday, May 12, 2014 --- 3:18 p.m.
Janesville Police say they have widened their investigation into the past activities of homicide suspect Clayton Courtney after a witness amended his statement.
The community has been on edge since police arrested 28-year-old Clayton Courtney on May 4 after he allegedly stabbed his roommate.
Officers found Courtney's former girlfriend dead the next morning.
At a news conference Tuesday, officers said Courtney's roommate now believes Courtney said something around the lines of "I've killed three people, we're all going to die tonight" instead of "I have killed three people tonight, we are all going to die." The change makes it unclear when he may have committed any other potential slayings.
Police say they want to hear from anyone who may have heard or seen anything suspicious from Courtney in the past few years.
UPDATED Monday, May 12, 2014 --- 11:21 a.m.
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Police in Janesville are planning to address concerns that two recent deaths and a third person's disappearance may be connected.
Community fears have been stoked after investigators learned a man arrested in a stabbing on May 4 said he had killed three people that night.
Officers discovered Britney Cross, the man's girlfriend, dead behind a former furniture store the next morning. On Friday officers found Mary Coulthard's body in the Rock River. Now they're searching for Gerald Hockensmith, who was reported missing Wednesday.
Police have planned a news conference for Monday afternoon. They're calling the incidents separate issues.
The man accused in the stabbing, Clayton Courtney, faces multiple charges in that incident, including attempted homicide and reckless endangerment. His attorney didn't immediately return an email message Monday.

Saying things like "you will always have support" "stay strong" and "I'm so sorry"
Tracy says she wanted to have an open casket funeral for her daughter but can't because of how badly Britney was beaten on her face and head.
There's also a cross outside of the families home, with Britney's name on it, Tracy says it's a constant reminder of her beautiful daughter.

Did I just say ménage Ý trois? I did, didnt I.Kristy Carlson
A little over a year ago we moved into the heart of Africa to begin living out a coffee-covered dream. Its been an adventure, and along the way we've been working to help the coffee farmers of Burundi get a fairer price for their coffee beans. Our boys were 4 and 1.5 when we made the big move to Burundi. We got off to a pretty rocky start learning how to live here. So rocky, in fact, that actual rocks were thrown through windows by my 4 year old. That same kid belted "I hate you" down the hall on a daily basis. Meltdowns were a daily occurrence, usually I was the first to collapse in a heap of tears on the bathroom floor wondering, "What are we doing HERE?"
All that sounds awful (or normal), but my hardest day as a parent so far wasn't any of the above. It was the day I dropped my (then) 4-year-old off for his first day of Kindergarten. His school is taught all in French and is located right off a dirt road in the heart of east Africa. That day, for me, was harder than giving birth to him. I felt like I was expecting him to manage far more than I had ever done as a child. Which is true, I was… and I felt guilty about it. At that point we didn't speak a word of French at home; in fact, every French word we did speak we pronounced terribly wrong. So, on the first day of school we sent our kid into class calling his teacher, "Monsieur C." which is correct… except that we pronounced it exactly like it's spelled, "n" and all. Which is wrong, so very wrong.
On top of that, the first time I tried to say "Kindergarten" in French, which is "Trois-en maternelle," I accidentally made a Freudian slip and said "ménage Ý trois" and then proceeded to talk about children and their teachers. Yeah, I know… at least I was in forgiving company. Anyway, I KNEW the road ahead was going to be hard for my son. On that first day of school, my heart faltered at the school gate. I kissed him goodbye and leaned for support on the sage advice of the penguins in the movie Madagascar, "Just smile and wave, boys, smile and wave." I let his daddy walk him the whole way in. Had I walked in, he would have been navigating Kindergarten with an attached bawling parent at his side, and that's just not a cool look for a 4-year-old… or a 32-year-old.
School hasn't been the only hard thing my oldest kid has faced because of our choice to live abroad. There's still more for me to feel parent-guilt about. We recently came back from a short visit to the USA, and every night for two weeks I cried outside my son's door because he was crying himself to sleep while whispering "Grandpa!" in-between sobs. I felt like I had just broken his heart… on purpose. Was it his choice to grow up in east Africa and learn French and not have his grandparents around? Nope, not at all. It was our choice and there are moments, like on his first day of school and when we have to leave grandparents, that I question this adventure's value.
Is it all worth it? Maybe we'll know when we're 70. I do know that I waver. When I breathe in I feel like I'm messing them up beyond repair and as I breathe out I KNOW that I am giving them the greatest gift on earth. But really, isn't that just called "parenthood?" No matter where in the world you are and no matter what challenges are front of you. Somehow, as parents, we find the strength to be resolute and fearless… blazing a path by example for our children, even though just a moment before we had our heads "ostrich style" in the dirt and our hearts full of fear and guilt.

In 1906, through the work of Voelcker and von Lichtenberg, the urinary tract was first rendered opaque to the roentgen ray. Since that time the technic of pyelography has steadily improved, and the procedure, now satisfactory and devoid of danger, plays a rôle of supreme importance in urologic diagnosis. The earliest efforts and their attendant difficulties are matters of common knowledge. The colloidal silver preparations of which so much was expected proved unsafe. Indeed, their untoward effects might well have been foretold had it been remembered how readily invasion of the renal and general circulations may follow abnormal pressure within the kidney pelvis. Instances of disaster following the use of silver are multiple, the damage resulting in most cases from silver embolism, and the kidney being usually the chief sufferer.
These more harmful substances,therefore, were supplanted by the thorium solution of Burns.1 This was an excellent contribution. Its value

I have abandoned sculpture engraving and painting to dedicate myself entirely to song.
— Picasso to Jaime Sabartés April 1936
It was in early 1935 that Picasso (then fifty-four years old) began to write poetry—a writing that continued, sometimes as a daily offering, until the summer of 1959. In the now standard Picasso myth, the onset of the poetry is said to have coincided with a devastating marital crisis (a financially risky divorce, to be more exact), because of which his output as a painter halted for the first time in his life.
Throughout 1935 and 1936, Picasso largely ignored paint and canvas and immersed himself in written expression.
The result was a series of notebooks, sketchbooks, journals, even napkins filled with poetry that, like his paintings, are dense in imagery, relentlessly energetic, and frequently enigmatic.
Poetry became his alternative outlet. The flow of words begins abruptly ("privately" his biographer Patrick O'Brian tells us) on April 18 1935 while in retreat at Boisgeloup. (He would lose the country place the next year in a legal settlement.) The pace is rapid, violent, pushing and twisting from one image to another, not bothering with punctuation, often defying syntax, expressive of a way of writing that he had never tried before.
In all of this—surrounded by writers from Apollinaire and Stein to Breton and Paul Eluard—Picasso was fully aware of the poetry in his life, and when he first took pen to paper in April 1935, it wasn't as an isolated or naive voice but as a participant in what was then a verbal art in transformation. The poetry through much of 1936 was probably his dominant activity (the painting by most accounts had then been put aside), and he would pursue it on an almost daily basis. When Gertrude Stein dismissed the poems he read to her, it probably marked the low point of a friendship which by then was almost over.
"The egotism of a painter," she would later write in her 1938 book Picasso, "is an entirely different egotism than the egotism of a writer." And again: "This was his life for two years, of course he who could write, write so well with drawings and with colours, knew very well that to write with words was, for him, not to write at all."
By contrast the response of the younger French poets was immediate and strongly in Picasso's favor. Like Stein they recognized in Picasso's art a mode akin to writing, but where she would draw a line between the genres, they were enthusiastic to his crossing over into poetry.
Because of that the first publication of his poems came shortly after he started writing—still a curiosity today, since, for all his reputation, he would never publish them again. Andre Breton had arranged in 1936 a special issue of Cahiers d'art, with a number of Picasso's poems translated into French, accompanied by Breton's own introduction ("Picasso poète") and shorter pieces by Eluard and Georges Hugnet.
Over the next two decades, he often returned to writing, producing three plays in addition to the 300-plus texts.
e e cummings (1925)
you give us Things
bulge:grunting lungs pumped full of sharp
thick mind
night moves
in a wine glass
sleeves of a sleeveless dress
around its stem
and a bull's head sleeping, breathless
in the scent of pearl and warm flesh
standing on a drumbeat
by a prism's deceptive stammer
6 june xxxvi
the morning of the world
i have a face cut from ice
a heart pierced in a thousand places
so to remember
always the same voice
the same gestures
and my laughter
as a wall
between you and me
the ones who are most alive
seem the most still
behind the milky way
a shadow dances
our gaze climbs toward the stars
red nude
you swept the ashes of winter
lit red and nude
drawn naked with smoke
and coal
still glowing
in the shadow of paper flowers
pressed to walls of plaster
and stone
the shiver of hands
blind without memory
and so,
friendly still
yet sweet like the words
to the tremble of lips
there are no surprises here
rest your eyelids
until they become stone
rest your heart
until it stops
(it beats now only for itself
in some secret place)
the artist & his model
turn your back
but stay in view at the same time
(now look away,
anything else confuses)
stand still without saying a word
you can't see but this is how
i separate day from night
and the starless sky
from the empty heart
when he stopped writing her
the letter always bled for her for her eyes (brown as those old bottles in the medicine cabinet) bleeding words like teardrops yet without spilling onto the green tile floor those words always pure only staining the paper glossy black ink blood like muslin stuck to an old wound those words always strong yet blurred, obscure words only a scholar would find obscene
happy are those who die because they have returned to those first crumbs of dirt that fed us to that first hole to that soft black and smell of coal
night train to horta
she wants head
male bonding
siamese twins
tango 69
i travel by images
corporal landscapes
the mouth is the tunnel
quick, now
the tongue the train
windows on the world
same refrain
we will meet
we will meet
somewhere again
end of the line
the power of torso
speed of the memento
lost and then
the blood engine
steaming its blush
on the cheek of night
dogs eat at the night
buried in the yard
they chase the moon in a pack
the white of their teeth
compared to stars
the windows close against them
iron bars in transparency
life closes against them
the morning will crush them to dust
with only the wind left
to stir them up
the palms keep vigil over the tired countryside. orange trees bear clusters of golden sun ripened in the red . cypress clean clouds from the azure where insects glimmer, sparks born of incandescent sunlight. i listen to the rhythm of silence scented by fabulous blossoms. and my spirit is drawn towards these heavy desires that haunt the coolness of shade.
litany to the moon
the moon with its lunatic face dog's grin i throw shouts at it in the night and it hides scudding behind clouds
the world is mad and i run after birds
like a kid in the park
trying to spit on them
give me a gun and i'll blow off my head
one tight squeeze like on a breast on a whores tit until it hurts saying ouch it hurts to cut a hole through your skull until everything hurts, even a quick kiss
cold eyes in the night see nothing and the moon is silent on the topic yet rising from the low bough of some hedge beneath the bush of some garden come words, mumbled love copulating briefly on black air into silence then two shadows of each sex rushing away with their disturbed laughter a fading night breeze toward dawn
christ in the desert
false as a beach
a pearl on the lip
the blackness of a tear
(wet leaves in a book will not dry)
the memory dies
a plate held before each face
saying who am i
the moon
(the moon after all)
fresh feet
in sawdust
a personal
mature man
holding his nose
to life
desires young woman
is indifferent to
and longs for those
before umbrellas
colors without danger
careless grass of our sins
as if by luck on the number
a prism you capture a rainbow
while you finish your days in prison
insensible to the shimmer of your
crimes ice cream proves
the ingenuity of our suppers
angel hair
some balding angels weave together the soldiers
of god the work of a spider the star of despair
local insects, tennis players in
spite of the nets in spite of
the insolent blue which limits us
which nonetheless continues to charm the readers
of english magazines
in short-shorts
one evening in joinville
venus the slut
put the bite on me
her pretty knot of hair
an illuminated manuscript
made me stiffen
like a cuirassier
we had a good time
her hole and my stick
waiting for the bus
headed toward
cold of the wolf
a hand puppet
unable to put up a fight
the hand goes crazy –
excuse me if i'm clumsy
remember the other months
a december that closed its mouth
cleverness (that's what moves me)
we new ones are out in the cold
lint resembles snow to me
clinging to your eyelash why haven't i
been able to see which of us is right

a gang of kids running through the streets
faceless pranksters
the moon a plate held before each face
who am i? saying who am i
running through the streets saying who am i
the shadows of the buildings
becoming cats that move away
the trees immobilized
left to stand alone in the dark
rubbing their bark from regret
like cicadas
oranges have more delicacy
softly falling, falling
in the groves
on the hills
softly eaten, eaten
by the earth
swallowed whole
as if by a snake
not earth
as if by millions
slithering in the groves at night
stalking the oranges that fall softly
softly to the earth
hunting there in the groves

Every Tuesday morning during the regular season, MLive.com's Justin Rogers posted his NFL Power Rankings. Here's a final edition, just in time for the postseason.
1. Seattle Seahawks (13-3)
The Seahawks showed some vulnerability at the end of the season, dropping two of their last four, including a home loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Still, CenturyLink Field is the league's loudest venue and it will be a tall task for anyone to knock off the Seattle at home. (Preseason rank: 2)
2. Denver Broncos (13-3)
Peyton Manning and the Broncos offense racked up unreal stats, cruising to home-field advantage in the AFC, but losing Von Miller makes a Super Bowl run a lot more difficult for Denver. (Preseason rank: 3)
3. San Francisco 49ers (12-4)
The 49ers are coming into the postseason on fire, winners of six in a row, including a victory over the Seahawks. San Francisco is also getting healthy, but the road for a wild card is never easy, especially wen it starts in Lambeau. (Preseason rank: 1)
4. Carolina Panthers (12-4)
Carolina rose from the middle of the pack to a Super Bowl contender, not behind the play of quarterback Cam Newton, but the emergence of a dominant front seven led by middle linebacker Luke Kuechly. (Preseason rank: 17)
5. New England Patriots (12-4)
The Patriots appeared to be in dire straits when they lost tight end Rob Gronkowski, but they put that notion to rest by hanging 41 points on the Baltimore Ravens. You simply can't count out Tom Brady in the postseason. (Preseason rank: 5)
6. Cincinnati Bengals (11-5)
Will this be the year the Bengals finally end the team's 23-year drought without a playoff win? Despite some key injuries, Cincinnati's defense has continued to dominate. It will boil down to which version of Andy Dalton shows up. The third-year quarterback threw 20 interceptions this season, including four in the regular season finale. (Preseason rank: 8)
7. Indianapolis Colts (11-5)
Andrew Luck has been leaning on a couple undrafted free agents -- Griff Whalen and Da'Rick Rogers -- to spark the Colts' passing attack. What has really been impressive down the stretch has been Indy's defensive, which allowed just 20 points the final three games of the season. (Preseason rank: 15)
8. New Orleans Saints (11-5)
The road has been unkind to the Saints this year. They've dropped five games away from the Superdome, and as a wild card, they'll have to start the postseason by traveling to Philadelphia. (Preseason rank: 12)
9. Green Bay Packers (8-7-1)
Aaron Rodgers is back, which means the Packers have a shot to make a run. The superstar quarterback looked rusty in the division-clinching win over the Chicago Bears, but when Green Bay needed a big throw, he delivered. (Preseason rank: 6)
10. Kansas City Chiefs (11-5)
Andy Reid has done a masterful job this season and is deserving of Coach of the Year, but it might be a one-and-done situation given the way the Colts handled the Chiefs in Kansas City just two weeks ago. (Preseason rank: 24)
11. Philadelphia Eagles (10-6)
Chip Kelly's debut season as an NFL coach has been a success, and the draw with New Orleans is favorable, given the Saints' struggles on the road. The cold weather definitely benefits the Eagles. (Preseason rank: 26)
12. San Diego Chargers (9-7)
We buried the Chargers before the season started, but Philip Rivers has been marvelous under the tutelage of Mike McCoy and Ken Whisenhunt. Having running back Ryan Matthew available for all 16 games for the first time in his career didn't hurt, either. (Preseason rank: 28)

A Christian woman in Pakistan facing the death sentence for blasphemy cannot be pardoned until a court rules on her appeal, the chief judge on the high court in Lahore ruled Monday.
On Nov. 8, Asia Bibi was sentenced to death by hanging for allegedly blaspheming the Muslim Prophet Mohammed. The mother of five has said the charges are false.
The case has drawn international attention, and Pakistan's President Asif Ali Zardari has said he will pardon Bibi if the appeal is delayed. Meanwhile, Muslims in Lahore are warning the president not to pardon Bibi.
"A pardon would lead to anarchy in the country," the head of the Sunni Ittehad Council, Sahibzada Fazal Kareem, told AsiaNews. "Our position is very clear, this punishment cannot be cancelled."
Bibi's husband said local imams have threatened to burn their home and kill the family.
Carl Moeller, president of Open Doors USA, a ministry for persecuted Christians, talked more about Bibi's case on CBN News Channel Midday News, Nov. 30. Click play to watch the interview.

Yet the Romney campaign continues to misinform the public by falsely arguing that the president is weakening welfare-to-work requirements. The president has a long record of ensuring that work is part of welfare reform. As state senator of Illinois, Obama advocated for stronger welfare-to-work requirements, and the president continues that work today with members of both political parties.

The same winding mountain road
February 8, 2010 - Mike Maneval
Jack Kelly, writing for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette in a piece also carried by realclearpolitics.com, relates how, after the passage of the Troubled Asset Relief Program, then-Secretary of the Treasury Henry Paulson shifted the funding into direct bank investments, arguing the move was necessary to keep lending to small businesses proceeding. But the banks that received the most TARP funding actually cut lending to small businesses by $12.5 bill since last spring.
"Even if TARP saved our financial system from driving off a cliff back in 2008, absent meaningful reform, we are still driving on the same winding mountain road, but this time in a faster car," Neil Barofsky, TARP's inspector general wrote in his most recent quarterly report.
Kelly drives home why he believes we're still on this road more than a year after the end of Paulson's tenure and in the wake of an electoral mandate for reform: Employees of Goldman Sachs, one of the firms at the heart of the market crisis, was the largest private-sector source of contributions for the Obama campaign. As January drew to a close, Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., and chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, hosted a South Beach retreat for lobbyists, who each paid $30,000 to attend.

From the InsideOut Music press release:
2015 finds Spock's Beard returning with The Oblivion Particle, scheduled for release August 21st on InsideOut Music. The band's twelfth studio album sees them drawing from their core essence while stretching out into some exciting new territory.
According to bassist Dave Meros, it's not a matter of how much the album recalls past Spock's material, but how much it differs. "I think the opening track 'Tides of Time' is classic Spock's in terms of arrangement and style, but everything else is fairly different. That said, the whole album is still within the parameters of what people expect to hear from us."
Among the nine new songs are "To Be Free Again," a dramatic, cinematic epic; "Bennett Built a Time Machine," a quirky adventure tale about time travel; "Hell's Not Enough" with its fiery emotive plateaus and "Get Out While You Can," a more straight ahead yet no less impactful powerhouse.
The Oblivion Particle finds the band answering the needs of their creations by utilizing the considerable versatility of each member. In addition to Ted Leonard's soaring vocals and Dave Meros' distinctive bass, Alan Morse adds autoharp, banjolele, electric sitar and mandolin to his array of instruments, drummer Jimmy Keegan takes over lead vocals on "Bennett Built a Time Machine" and Ryo expands his arsenal of keyboard sounds throughout the album. In addition, virtuoso Kansas violinist David Ragsdale lends his touch to the album's majestic closer, "Disappear."
As with the previous album Brief Nocturnes and Dreamless Sleep, The Oblivion Particle was recorded at The Mouse House and produced by Rich Mouser, Alan Morse and John Boegehold, a band collaborator of many years.
Ultimately, The Oblivion Particle has all the trademarks of a classic "grower," with a considerable depth that continues to unfold after many listens. This proves Spock's Beard to be an amazingly compelling band some 20+ years after their formation, and one that continues to be a leader in the prog rock field, just as they have always been…

DL Trans-Con JFK-LAS and LAX-JFK (Part 1)
Delta Airlines
Flight DL419
19 Feb 08
Seat 28A Y-Class
Load 22F/ 148 Y
For schools in the northeast, kids get a break usually in the middle of February so that they can take a break from the cold, or even enjoy it. In my case, I'm flying to the west so I can enjoy some sunshine and heat in Las Vegas and Los Angeles. I will be travelling with my mom, dad, aunt, and grandmother. I know what some of you guys out there might think, kid going to Las Vegas? I'm more excited about the flying part and just getting out of ordinary high school life. Anyways, we would be flying into Las Vegas, driving through the desert and going home through Los Angeles, spending two nights in Las Vegas at the Monte Carlo hotel & casino (which recently caught on fire) and spending another two nights at the Renaissance Montura Hotel at LAX.
Just as any other US airline today, Delta utilizes the self check-in kiosks that print out those flimsy paper boarding passes. I arrived at the airport at about a quarter to seven and found that there were already a number of people that filled up the check-in hall. The kiosks were located in the center and the sides of the hall and if you had any bags to check, the counters were on the outer wall. Using the kiosks was easy enough and the bags were tagged and ready to go within three minutes.
Delta Self Service Check-in Kiosk
Very Crowded Delta Terminal Check-in
I was travelling with my grand mother on this flight so a few weeks prior to the flying date; I requested wheelchair assistance online through delta.com. I reminded the agent who helped us call up a wheelchair. We stood around and waited, and waited, and waited, and waited some more. It took about fifteen minutes for a wheelchair to arrive. In my opinion, WAY TOO LONG!!! We also benefitted from that otherwise....
Security Check
Because my grandmother was in a wheelchair, we skipped the lines and went straight to the front of the line that stretched down the terminal for security. I was in and out within two minutes. I imagine it would have taken at least twenty five minutes if we didn't have a travel companion in a wheelchair.
Waiting Hall
It was a long walk from the security check point to gate twenty four where my flight was to depart. Delta utilizes two terminals at JFK. Great views of the tarmac from the connecting bridge that connects terminals two and four. I believe gate twenty four was in terminal two, the international terminal. It offered a wide open space that felt very spacious and not crowded or anything. Lots of natural light was offered and I went to do a little spotting.

Delta now offers the "Breeze Way" basically a separate lane for First Class, Business Elite, and Skymiles Medallion members. Like everyone else however, I used the general boarding lane. One of the "ups" of delta is that they use the Zone System, groups of rows grouped in zones that make boarding much more efficient. I have to say that this was one of the shortest boarding calls I have ever experienced on a domestic flight. Upon boarding, I handed the purser my flight log sheet and asked her to relay it to the Captain. She brought it to him right away. I quickly took my seat at 28A and before I knew it, the doors were shut and we were pushed back.
Flight Info Screens
View out of my window. A Delta 737-800 is parked next to us and Terminal 1 is visible in the far left.
I guess there is a change in aircraft today. The safety card says its supposed to be an International aircraft
We pushed back from our gate and made it out to taxiway "A". We turned right and followed taxiway "A" through the entire taxi passing terminal 1, the Jetblue maintenance building, and the American Airlines terminals 9 and 8. We then made a slight left turn onto taxiway "V" and crossed runway 13L/ 31R, then turned right onto taxiway "C". Taxiing on taxiway "C", we passed the Asiana cargo building, a China Airlines Cargo 744F, and Northwest Airlines and KLM cargo buildings. We were following a Jetblue A320, United 752, and an Air Jamaica A321. Getting close to Runway 22R, I spotted an Ethiad A340. Just short of taxiway "ZA", I saw smoke coming out of engine one. It continued for just a few seconds but I kind of got nervous, any idea why? Finally, we turned left onto taxiway "ZA" and lined up with the runway. To get to the runway, we basically took a stroll around the entire airport from one corner to the other.
sorry about the quality for this one. hey look! a Tuscon milk truck! new grade A jetfuel?

Takeoff and Climb
The pilots fired up the engines and we were rolling. It was a short roll and in no time we were in the air. It was a busy morning today; we turned to the left and made a 180 degree turn. Flying parallel to runway 22R, I could see the long line of planes on runway "C" waiting to get in the air. It was a smooth climb and I soon spotted Manhattan Island and La Guardia Airport!

Refreshment Service
I am still very disappointed at US airlines for getting rid of meal service in economy but I can understand that it is hard to make their money. First Class gets a complimentary breakfast and we have to fork over some six dollars just to get a soggy turkey sandwich. Chips aren't even free ($2)!!! I have to say that Delta's Biscoff cookies are delicious though. I had an orange juice and the turkey croissants off Delta's new EATS menu consisting of creations by celebrity Chef Todd English. About an hour prior to landing, the flight attendants came back down the aisle with fruit and cheese plates. It was very tempting and I forked over another six bucks for the light snack. I have to say that it wasn't bad.

Delta has refitted their trans-con 757-200's with their new touch screen PTV's. I was really expecting them again after I used them on my short flight form JFK-FLL last year. However, I realized I was in for a long flight after I realized there were no screens on the seatbacks after boarding. The safety cards in the seatback pockets stated that the aircraft was a 757-200 international configuration. Looking out my window, I noticed that this 752 was fitted with those new winglets and so was the 738 next to us. The windows could be replaced as there were a lot of scratches on the plastic. I later learned from the pilots that this aircraft started its life with TWA and was later sent to American, now it serves Delta. Very interesting!
Economy Cabin, w/o PTV's
Approach and landing
The first signs of our descent started at around the Rocky Mountain range. We passed the Grand Canyon and the Colorado River. Headed south and turned west again. Finally, I spotted houses among the desert. Flaps were lowered along with the gear shortly after. Not seeing the line of casinos anywhere, I concluded that we would be landing on the "25's". Turned out that I was right, after a smooth touchdown and a really, loud bang of some sort not knowing why and ignoring it. I saw the taxi signs, yes! 25L.
Rocky mountain range on our descent.
Colorado river i believe
Taxi to the Gate
We exited the runway at taxiway "A6", crossed runway 25R/ 7L and turned right onto taxiway "B". Turned left at taxiway "A4/ C4" and pulled into gate D41.
Southwest dominates the main terminal building
I was in the forward economy cabin and waited at my seat so I could see the captain and collect my flightlog sheet. It was only that I realized it was going to be a long time. This 752 could actually fit a lot of people as I waited for the passengers seated in the rear economy cabin to exit. Finally, I snapped a few shots and approached the cockpit. The pilots invited me in and handed me the flight log i asked the purser to hand them earlier. I thanked them and they asked me a few questions. We chatted for a bit and the captain took my picture as I sat in his seat. It was an honor. I thanked them again and exited through door 1L.
Thanks Guys!!!
LAS Terminal
As soon as I stepped out of the gate, I laughed as I knew I was in Vegas. There were already slot machines lined up in the middle of the waiting hall. It was a long walk to the tram that connects concourse D to the rest of the airport. I seriously think they should increase the frequency of these as it was very crowded by the station. It was another long walk to the baggage claim. Utter chaos is how to describe the baggage claim area, limo drivers with signs, security officers, people waiting for relatives, little kids running amuck, and senior citizens zipping around on their power scooters. I finally found the delta baggage claim and it wasn't too long before my bags came out. My grandmother was already in a wheelchair with a really nice attendant taking care of her.
haha very clever "AIR STRIP"
Slots Already!
More Slots
Downstairs to the baggage claim
Ground Transport
Once again, the wheelchair attendant got us to the front of the line at the taxi queue. Immediately, a yellow cab pulled up and I hopped onboard, off to the Monte Carlo and FABULOUS LAS VEGAS!!!
All in all, it was a great experience with DELTA once again and the crew was very friendly, really happy with the changes delta made with their Terminals 2 & 3 at JFK but the Las Vegas travel commission could really freshen up their services at McCarran Airport.

My Powerup coupon expires 12/31, so it's just been rendered useless. Only reason I was saving it was because I didn't think they'd do 3 B2G1F sales within 5 weeks. It's not really lost gaming, but annoying all the same. Guess I could always use it tomorrow for no reason!
My Powerup B2G1F coupon says it expires 2/28/11
Guess if you change over later it extends the date of the coupon? I didn't change my previous edge card over until about 2 weeks ago because I was out of the country when they had the national roll out of the program.
So that is good for me I guess. I will probably end up buying a few cheapy titles during this B2G1F sale though.

Stand-Up Paddleboarder
Fiji has always been a favorite of surfers, who pilgrimage here for the long, perfect breaks, consistent swells, and warm waters. Now, paddleboarders are starting to migrate here from the well-worn breaks of Hawaii, too.
"Fiji is amazing," says Anderson. "It's one of the most special places on Earth. It's on the doorstep of major nations but it's so untouched."
Perhaps the most famed destination in this South Pacific archipelago is Cloudbreak, a perfect left break located about a mile off the island of Tavarua. It is not for the faint of heart or unpracticed. Giant swells can make the break only accessible to tow-in surfers, and shallow coral reefs can rake the unsuspecting. But for those elite paddleboarders who have the skills—and guts—to attempt it, the payoff is a long, fast ride on a perfect barrel.
Tavarua Island Resort owns the rights to Cloudbreak and a number of other breaks. The resort hosts surfers and the occasional paddleboarder and provides access to the waves.
Athlete Bio
Stand-Up Paddleboarder
Kiwi Annabel Anderson is pretty good at winning paddleboard races. In 2012, she was crowned the sport's world champion in Hawaii and won by the largest margin ever at the Battle of the Paddle in California, one of the sport's most prestigious races. But she also has a penchant for adventure—she has tackled challenges from the Thames (which turned out to be marginally legal) and the crossing from the island of Ibiza to the coast of Spain—making her one of paddleboarding's most recognized faces.
Annabel Anderson's Gear Picks
Subaru Outback
"I am lucky enough to be sponsored by Subaru, and four-wheel-drive cars definitely come in handy in getting me to where I need to be," says Anderson. "Even though they're one of my partners, I've been driving them since I got my license—up dirt roads in really remote places in New Zealand. Also, it's so much easier not having a massive SUV that's a struggle to put things on top of. It's a big big plus."

The CEO and co-founder of Mozilla, which runs browser Firefox, stepped down on April 3 after controversy concerning his stance on gay rights according to
Known for creating JavaScript, Eich's donation to a cause that supported Proposition 8 quickly drew fire from a myriad of sources including Mozilla employees.
"A donation that I made in support of California Proposition 8 four years ago became public knowledge and sparked a firestorm of comments in the last few days, mostly on Twitter," Eich wrote on his website.
He would not explain his views.
"I'm not going to discuss Prop 8 here or on Twitter. There is no point in talking with the people who are baiting, ranting, and hurling four-letter abuse. Personal hatred conveyed through curse words is neither rational nor charitable, and strong feelings on any side of an issue do not justify it."
He went on to say that he is "not a bigot."
"Those who seek to deny love and instead enforce misery, shame and frustration are our enemies, and we wish them nothing but failure," the message read.
The social media fallout intensified, culminating in Eich stepping down.
"While painful, the events of the last week show exactly why we need the web. So all of us can engage freely in the tough conversations we need to make the world better," Mozilla said in a statement.
"What's next for Mozilla's leadership is still being discussed. We want to be open about where we are in deciding the future of the organization and will have more information next week. However, our mission will always be to make the Web more open so that humanity is stronger, more inclusive and more just: that's what it means to protect the open Web."

Crimes of Passion
- Directed by Ken Russell
===Story=== The crazy man of British film, Ken Russell (''Women in Love'', ''Whore''), hit the apex of guilty-pleasure absurdity with ''Crimes of Passion'', a dark if pointed (and ultimately poignant) walk on the wild side. Although this schizophrenic, neon-blurred traipse through the red-light district of Los Angeles, courtesy of hooker and guide China Blue (Kathleen Turner), never made much money at the box office, it still managed to eke out a cult following. Barry Sandler's script felt a lot like a play with its rather stilted (but furiously funny) dialogue between Turner and Anthony Perkins, who plays an obsessed and crazed stalker/reverend who believes he is China Blue's savior. Their story is contrasted against that of Bobby Grady (John Laughlin), who is married to the materialistic Amy (Annie Potts). After taking a second job as a private investigator for a dress manufacturer who thinks his lead designer, Joanna Crane (Turner again), is selling patterns to a rival, Bobby becomes mired in a netherworld he never imagined. But it's Bobby who becomes Joanna/China Blue's true savior; it seems Joanna's husband cheated on her and she created the alter ego, China Blue, in order to control her world by making men dependent on her sexuality. The facade cracks after Bobby hits the scene. Russell's film is bawdy and even daring, and the unrated version on DVD features a couple of scenes (one with China Blue, a cop, and his nightstick, as well as some flashes of pornography) that were not included in the film's original release. Also for die-hard fans, Sandler originally ended the script at a more ambiguous place in the climactic scene in Joanna's apartment. An "epitaph" with Bobby at an encounter group was added to appease the distributor, who wanted a more upbeat, "Hollywood" conclusion. Sandler's original idea gave the film a real wallop, but despite the change, ''Crimes of Passion'' remains an original camp classic.

Yates explained why the library staff chose the novel for its summer reading choice.
"When we realized it was the 50th anniversary year of publication, it was a no-brainer for the summer reading choice," Yates said. "Everybody remembers the first time they read the book."
Among those discussing the themes of prejudice and coming of age were 13-year-old Emma Morris and her father, Martin Morris.
"We read the book out loud as a family every summer," the elder Morris said. "It's fun."
Emma, the youngest attendee at the library discussion, showed her understanding of the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel that is taught in most English curriculums at either the high school freshman or junior level.
"The book teaches us that people are people and everyone has flaws," said Emma, who will be an eighth-grader at Lorenzo de Zavala Middle School in Amarillo.
Jennie Vestal, a retired teacher, explained why she enjoyed teaching the novel to juniors.
"It's a timeless book that teaches us to accept people," Vestal said.
Lee's novel is told through the eyes of young Scout, who watches her lawyer father defend a black man on trial in 1930s Alabama. The characters are lessons in prejudice, violence and hypocrisy, and the novel is widely considered one of the best of the 20th century.
The book club also discussed Lee and her reclusive lifestyle, the characters and touched on the book "Mockingbird: A Portrait of Harper Lee" by Charles J. Shields, who will lead a lecture at 7 p.m. Sept. 1, at the Globe-News Center for the Performing Arts.
The book has been a staple of school curriculums throughout the U.S., but is not required reading in many school districts, such as Canyon Independent School District.
"Teachers are allowed to make choices for what books they want to use to teach the objectives," CISD spokeswoman Christy Bertolino said.
The Amarillo Reads activities are free and open to the public. For additional details, call the Amarillo Public Library at 806-378-3054, or go to www.amarillolibrary.org.
