The "Hip Hop Mayor" of Detroit Proves To Be The "Hip Hop Mayor" of Detroit
Here are a few messages between him and his married Chief of Staff Christine Beatty back in '03 that have surfaced:
KK: "I'm madly in love with you."
CB: "I hope you feel that way for a long time. In case you haven't noticed, I am madly in love with you, too!"
KK: I'm at Laker game. The security doesn't believe I'm mayor. Mike is pulling out all kind of shirt to prove it.
CB: And, did you miss me, sexually?
KK: Hell yeah! You couldn't tell. I want some more. Don't sleep!
KK: That's the first time that I couldn't fully seduce you. My game is off. LOL! Thanx for the conversation and the QT! Love you!
CB: LOL! Your game is way on baby! "you had me at hello!" Jerry McGuire 2000. LOL. I just didn't want to get caught.
Reports that Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick had a woman other than his wife with him at the Grove Park Inn before speaking at the Martin Luther King Prayer Breakfast left event organizers disappointed Friday. The mayor had been with a woman who called herself Carmen Slowsky and that the two had enjoyed champagne and a whirlpool bath together at a cost of more than $500. A copy of the hotel invoice shows a stay arranged for two.A prosecutor in Michigan launched an investigation Friday into allegations that Kilpatrick lied under oath about an affair with his top aide. Kilpatrick is married, and news of an extramarital affair with his chief of staff had surfaced in Detroit recently. Kilpatrick has said the affair was over.

Most Intellectually Dishonest Ass Kissing Propaganda Repeating Bullshit of The Week
DV... Jew-hatred is the white man's disease. Check yourself.

Undercover... Ignorance, cowardice and conformity is the habit of slaves.
What on this blog remotely suggests a "hatred" of people who practice the ancient and deeply spiritual religion of Judaism?
Protocols Of The Elders of Zion - Most Accurate 100 Year Old 'Forgery' In History
In different ways, both Zionists and Nazis have made it synonymous with virulent anti Semitism and genocide. But surely Jews should not be blamed for the machinations of a tiny secret society. The vast majority of Jews would disavow this master plan if they believed it existed.
Surely one can condemn all racism and genocide in the strongest possible terms and still believe the Protocols are authentic. In my opinion, the equation with anti Semitism is really a ploy to divert attention away from this master plan.
The plagiarism claim is part of a propaganda campaign waged by conscious and unconscious collaborators in academia and the media." Mackow
PROTOCOL No. 131. The need for daily bread forces the GOYIM to keep silence and be our humble servants. Agents taken on to our press from among the GOYIM will at our orders discuss anything which it is inconvenient for us to issue directly in official documents, and we meanwhile, quietly amid the din of the discussion so raised, shall simply take and carry through such measures as we wish and then offer them to the public as an accomplished fact. No one will dare to demand the abrogation of a matter once settled, all the more so as it will be represented as an improvement ... And immediately the press will distract the current of thought towards, new questions, (have we not trained people always to be seeking something new?). Into the discussions of these new questions will throw themselves those of the brainless dispensers of fortunes who are not able even now to understand that they have not the remotest conception about the matters which they undertake to discuss. Questions of the political are unattainable for any save those who have guided it already for many ages, the creators.
2. From all this you will see that in securing the opinion of the mob we are only facilitating the working of our machinery, and you may remark that it is not for actions but for words issued by us on this or that question that we seem to seek approval. We are constantly making public declaration that we are guided in all our undertakings by the hope, joined to the conviction, that we are serving the common weal.
WE DECEIVE WORKERS3. In order to distract people who may be too troublesome from discussions of questions of the political we are now putting forward what we allege to be new questions of the political, namely, questions of industry. In this sphere let them discuss themselves silly! The masses are agreed to remain inactive, to take a rest from what they suppose to be political (which we trained them to in order to use them as a means of combating the GOY governments) only on condition of being found new employments, in which we are prescribing them something that looks like the same political object. In order that the masses themselves may not guess what they are about WE FURTHER DISTRACT THEM WITH AMUSEMENTS, GAMES, PASTIMES, PASSIONS, PEOPLE'S PALACES .... SOON WE SHALL BEGIN THROUGH THE PRESS TO PROPOSE COMPETITIONS IN ART, IN SPORT IN ALL KINDS: these interests will finally distract their minds from questions in which we should find ourselves compelled to oppose them. Growing more and more unaccustomed to reflect and form any opinions of their own, people will begin to talk in the same tone as we because we alone shall be offering them new directions for thought ... of course through such persons as will not be suspected of solidarity with us.
4. The part played by the liberals, utopian dreamers, will be finally played out when our government is acknowledged. Till such time they will continue to do us good service. Therefore we shall continue to direct their minds to all sorts of vain conceptions of fantastic theories, new and apparently progressive: for have we not with complete success turned the brainless heads of the GOYIM with progress, till there is not among the GOYIM one mind able to perceive that under this word lies a departure from truth in all cases where it is not a question of material inventions, for truth is one, and in it there is no place for progress. Progress, like a fallacious idea, serves to obscure truth so that none may know it except us, the Chosen of God, its guardians.

If Barack Obama Is So Close To God, Why Is He In Bed With The Israel Lobby?
Faint praise worth considering in context;
It is perhaps no surprise that the media and chattering class in Israel are following the U.S. presidential nominating process with an intensity not to be seen anywhere else. The interest is somewhat odd, given that no fundamental shift in the U.S.-Israel relationship appears possible.
Apart from Ron Paul, who has no chance to be nominated, no candidate is likely to challenge the "special relationship." Some critics of Middle Eastern policy have been hopeful that Barack Obama, who has less baggage on the issue than the other candidates, might approach the Israel-Palestine conundrum with a more open mind. Such hopes are fleeting, as Obama has adopted an increasingly strident pro-Israel line to make himself more electable. This line was apparently crafted by his key adviser on the region, Dennis Ross, a former State Department official who was the key negotiator between Palestinians and Israelis under President Bill Clinton. Ross has invariably tilted in the Israeli direction by defining most regional problems in terms of Israeli security concerns. When he is not advising Obama, Ross is now a "distinguished fellow" at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy (WINEP), the strongly pro-Israeli Washington think tank that was founded by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). He is also a Middle East analyst for Fox News.
Israeli interest in the outcome of the election is legitimate, because the billions of dollars in U.S. economic and military aid are seen by most Israelis as crucial to their country's prosperity. For this same reason, it is worthwhile for Americans to note just how the Israeli media evaluates the various candidates' pro-Israel credentials. The Israeli national interest is clearly not identical to that of the United States, except possibly to AIPAC, but it would be difficult to discern the difference based on the comments being made by American presidential candidates. Indeed, many of the candidates sometimes seem as if they are actually running for office in Israel.
Ha'aretz, the more liberal of the two Israeli English language newspapers, assesses the presidential candidates in a monthly feature called "The Israel Factor: Ranking the Presidential Candidates," which rates the candidates from 1 to 10, with 10 being "best for Israel" and 1 being worst. The most recent "Israel Factor" appeared on Jan. 17. It should be noted that Republican Congressman Ron Paul is not included in the rankings because the Israeli panelists believe that to do so would be a "waste of time."
At the bottom of the heap? Yes, it's Barack Obama with a 5. He has tried to demonstrate that he is true blue when it comes to Israel by manfully supporting last year's invasion of Lebanon, which killed more than 1,000 civilians and caused billions of dollars worth of damage: "I don't think there is any nation that would not have reacted the way Israel did after two soldiers had been snatched. I support Israel's response to take some action in protecting themselves." I suppose that, In spite of the bad grammar, that came off a bit too eggheaded, not to mention mealy-mouthed. Obama lived for a while in Indonesia, which is known to be overrun with Muslims. He could himself be some kind of crypto-Islamofascist, and a few years ago he had some nice things to say about Palestinians. You lose, Barack.

Young Brotha Paul,
Don't mistake the acknowledgment of Barack Obama's tremendous human appeal as an endorsement of his political aspirations.
The perfect storm that is his intellect, soul and courage have yet to counterbalance the evil triplets of his parroted US Foreign Policy, Universal Health-Care charade, and promise to continue the "war on terror'.
90% of us vote for personalities. As our nation tinkers on collapse, I think it irresponsible, conformist and slave like, to not vote issues and policy.
Were Obama to champion 1/2 the policies and address 1/4 the issues of Ron Paul, I'd be in Florida tonight ringing doorbells.

Corporate Media Suggests Obama Won South Carolina 'Because' of Black Vote
Black Vote Was Vital
By Jon Cohen and Jennifer Agiesta
Washington Post Staff Writers
Overwhelming support from African American voters fueled Sen. Barack Obama's big win in yesterday's South Carolina Democratic primary.
By Ariel Sabar | Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor
from the January 28, 2008 edition
The black vote was key to his decisive win Saturday. To be competitive in the Feb. 5 sweepstakes, he'll need a broader coalition of independents, young people, and affluent whites, analysts say.
Intellectual Insurgent said...
The media just can't miss the chance to make this about race or gender. Always trying to chop America up into bite-sized morsels.
When Hillary won NH, it was because of female voters. When Obama won SC, it was about Black voters. When Huckabee won whatever it was, it was because of Christian voters. When Romney took Nevada, it was because of the Mormon voters. Yada, yada, yawn...
Tiring, simplistic and unimaginative. It couldn't be that some people like a tough broad who is married to a guy they like. It couldn't be that Obama - for as cookie-cutter as he is on the issues - is pretty darn charming. And with the Republicans, it couldn't be that Huckabee comes off the least insane of the "viable" Republican candidates or that Romney is the best-looking of the lot.
When McCain wins, they don't chalk it up to the Irish Catholic vote. Nope, it has to be race, gender and religion because Mr. Cohen said so.

American Idol's Obsession With Homosexual Black Men
Little Known Fact About 911 - Someone Made Millions Buying Stock Options Before Attack
Investors have yet to collect more than $2.5 million in profits they made trading options in the stock of United Airlines before the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, according to a source familiar with the trades and market data.
The uncollected money raises suspicions that the investors -- whose identities and nationalities have not been made public -- had advance knowledge of the strikes.
"Usually, if someone has a windfall like that, you take the money and run," said the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity. "Whoever did this thought the exchange would not be closed for four days. This smells real bad."
The source and others in the financial industry speculate that the purchaser or purchasers -- having initially assumed the money could be picked up without detection -- now fear exposure, or that the account has been frozen.
The markets were closed for four days after the attack, giving investigators time to notice the anomalous trades.
Securities regulators and law-enforcement agents throughout the United States and Europe are investigating unusual patterns in short sales and the purchase of "put" options, both of which are financial-market bets that the price of a given stock will fall. Authorities here and abroad have not publicly disclosed any conclusions they have reached and refuse to discuss the case.
There was an unusually large jump in purchases of put options on the stocks of UAL Corp. and AMR Corp. in the three business days before the attack on major options exchanges in the United States. On one day, UAL put option purchases were 25 times greater than the year-to-date average. In the month before the attacks, short sales jumped by 40 percent for UAL and 20 percent for American.

13 Reasons Why Science Is A Religion
The numeral 0.
All of these are abstract concepts that are accepted on faith. That is, consensual definitions. Truly, they are effective. Truly, they achieve things. Truly, they do not exist in the entire cosmos except as the result of the human mind. They are abstractions. They posses no physical reality. They do not exist in the material universe. This is precisely the objection that so-called "secular humanists" have with religion.
They object that the fundamental premises of religion are faith based and they do not exist in the material world. Show me God, they say. Show me the spirit, they say.
Show me a 5.
No, not the symbol of a 5. No, not 5 things. These are indirect and are not 5 itself. Show me 5. You can not. It does not exist. Except for one instance: When people accept that it exists and begin their operations based upon that consensual agreement.
"Science" is faith based. It is a belief system. It is a religion. Technology Guru's are mere evangelists and preachers spreading their version of the gospel. Einstein was a "prophet".

FDA Approved Pharmaceuticals Kill 10 Times More Americans Than 'Illegal Drugs' - Yet 1 Million Americans Are In Prison For Nonviolent Drug Crimes
NYPD sources say that nearly full pill bottles containing the anti-anxiety medications Alprazolam (Xanax), Diazepam (Valium) and Lorazepam (Ativan) were found in 28 year old actor Heath Ledger's apartment. The sleeping medication Zoplicone (Lunesta) and the sedative Temazepam (Restoril) -- which is used by people with "debilitating insomnia" -- were also found.
Can you imagine the outcry if Heath Ledger's body was found next to a pile of Chinese herbs, bag of marijuana or a line of cocaine? The media outcry would be deafening, and nearly everyone would leap to the conclusion that the herbs, weed or blow must have killed Ledger. But when Ledger's body is found next to bottles of FDA-approved pharmaceuticals ...crickets .... crickets .... there's hardly even a whisper about the deadly side effects of such pharmaceuticals (and the likelihood that Ledger was, indeed, killed by FDA-approved medicines).
The mainstream media is wearing blinders when it comes to accurately reporting stories involving pharmaceuticals. The silly presumption is that all pharmaceuticals are safe. They were approved by the FDA, weren't they? And yet FDA-approved pharmaceuticals kill twice as many Americans each year as the entire Vietnam War. There is no industry that kills more people each year than Big Pharma -- not even the war and munitions giants kill that many people.
So why does the mainstream media routinely give drug companies a "get out of jail free" card when all the evidence clearly points to the fact that Heath Ledger was killed by pharmaceuticals? (The answer: Conflicts of interest. Media is funded by pharma.)
Look at the reported facts:
1. There was no evidence of illegal drugs or alcohol at Ledger's apartment.
2. There was no evidence of intent to commit suicide (no suicide note, no message to friends, etc.)
3. The pharmaceuticals found at the scene were prescribed in Ledger's name (one bottle was over-the-counter, meaning it was also legally purchased).
4. Early autopsy results showed no evidence of illegal drug use or attempted suicide.
5. There was no evidence of foul play (i.e. Ledger wasn't murdered).
So what, then, killed Heath Ledger? What would Sherlock Holmes conclude?
By normal standards of sleuthwork, this scene is hardly a mystery. It certainly doesn't require a genius to figure out the likely culprit behind Ledger's death. Once you eliminate all the things that couldn't have been responsible for his death, you're left with only one remaining likely cause: The two bottles of pharmaceuticals (antidepressant drugs and sleeping pills) found adjacent to Ledger's body.

Fanatical Secularism - The Official Government Religion
Man is God. Well … certain men. Christian love is replaced with "tolerance" and sex.
It can be safely assumed that most secularists are on the political left and have a tendency toward moral relativism, which is the belief that we all live by our own moral code and "whose to say one is better than the other" blah blah blah. However, in truth, secularists do believe in a set of moral truths: those that THEY determine.
Some may refer to it as the spirit of the anti-christ. After all it is indeed against Christ. The secularists are not theists since their belief system does not include a diety per se. Although they abhor the notion of dogma they nevertheless rigidly espouse the strict adherence to the fundamentals of their faith.
Fanatical Secularism even has basic Commandments and a few prophets.
(1) The improvement of this life by material means. (2) That science is the available Providence of man. (3) The Prophets Kurzweil, Dawkins, and Hawkins.

Obama Embraces Hip Hop: Do Ya'll Neo-Negro Liberal Rap Haters Get It Yet?
Obama says he's a fan of the genre and has already spoken to two of his favorite artists, Kanye West and Jay-Z, about how to use hip-hop to positive effect.
Speaking to Jeff Johnson on the TV show What's In It For Us?, he said: "I've met with Jay-Z; I've met with Kanye. And I've talked to other artists about how potentially to bridge that gap. I think the potential for them to deliver a message of extraordinary power that gets people thinking is massive."

Barack Obama Proves He Is Not "A Muslim".
Barack Obama was directly confronted on prime time television last night over allegations swirling around the internet that he is a secret Muslim who worships the Koran, during a Democratic presidential debate in Las Vegas.
Mr Obama, who was raised as a Christian by his white mother despite his Kenyan father being Muslim, has been dogged by smears and innuendo for months that he is in fact an Islamist trying to enter the Oval office by stealth.
Mr Obama is a member of Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ and is an actively practising Christian. But opponents, particularly on the Republican side, delight in reminding people that his middle name is Hussein, taken from his father, a Harvard educated economist who left the family when Mr Obama was two.

MF. CNu. Was The Judaic Role in the Black Slave Trade A Product of "Dopamine Hegemony" or "A Global System of White Supremacy"?
In this brilliant foray into the hidden dimensions of the chronicle of black servitude, Tony Martin, professor of African History at Wellesley College, lectures on the role of Judaics in the Trans-Atlantic slave trade, and the impact of racist rabbinic texts on the formation of the contemptuous view of Africans which led to the justification of their enslavement. Dr. Martin's speech is introduced by Michael A. Hoffman II who provides insight on recent scholarly developments concerning the "Curse of Ham." Brief concluding remarks are offered by historian David Irving.

That – above, the silly-putty-looking pink goop – is what has been rumored to be the main ingredient in McDonald's Chicken McNuggets.
Now National Public Radio reports McDonald's Canada responded to the widely-circulated "goop" photo by taking a film crew to Cargill's Ontario plant to reveal what really goes into the crispy nuggets.
"It's an image that often gets associated with McDonald's," Nicoletta Stefou, supply chain manager at McDonald's Canada, says in the YouTube video aimed at dispelling the pink goop myth."We don't know what it is or where it came from, but it has nothing to do with our chicken McNuggets."
The video shows that the chicken nugget-making process begins with, well, chicken.
"The process starts with whole chickens," Jennifer Rabideau, product development scientist for Cargill Canada, explains. "We separate all of the chicken parts and set aside the chicken breast meat for chicken McNuggets."
From there, the chicken breasts are ground up and combined with seasoning and chicken skin. The mixture is formed into four nugget shapes – the bell, the ball, the bow tie and the boot (who knew?) – and battered twice. The nuggets are then frozen and packaged for shipping to McDonald's restaurants across Canada.
Although still not a particularly attractive process, the video puts some truth to McDonald's claim that their chicken McNuggets contain real chicken meat.
A small study of two fast-food chain chicken nuggets published in The American Journal of Medicine last year found that the nuggets were only about 50 percent meat – at best.
Cargill is an international company based in Wayzata, Minnesota.

Calvin Johnson's reputation as "Megatron" just became even more impressive after learning that the superstar wide receiver played the 2012 NFL season with broken fingers.
According to Chris McCosky of the Detroit News, Johnson endured the pain en route to a record-setting season:
Calvin Johnson confirmed that he played with broken fingers last season. Said he's been trying to straighten them out. No offseason surgery— Chris McCosky (@cmccosky) May 20, 2013
NFL.com's Marc Sessler also reports that Johnson played with three broken fingers "for most of last season":
Megatron on Monday confirmed to Chris McCosky of the Detroit News that he suited up for most of last season with three broken fingers. There was speculation during the season that Johnson's fingers were damaged when they were seen wrapped in bandages. Now we know.
Meanwhile, Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk reports that Megatron's fingers were not broken, per an unnamed source:
While the team has not yet addressed the contention, a source with knowledge of the situation tells PFT that Johnson actually didn't break any fingers.
This doesn't change the fact that he suffered some sort of injury to the fingers on his left hand that has left them crooked.
In any case, Megatron basically played with a disfigured hand and still managed to accumulate 1,964 receiving yards on 122 receptions in 2012, setting the NFL single-season record for most receiving yards.
Is Megatron the NFL's best player right now?
Given the nature of the receiver position, simply playing with injured fingers is an impressive feat. But when you also consider he set an NFL record in the process, Johnson's status as the game's best downfield playmaker is only strengthened further.
Factor in the arm strength that quarterback Matthew Stafford puts behind the rock, and catching passes becomes even more difficult. Nevertheless, Johnson remained dependable all year long and crushed the so-called Madden Curse into oblivion.
While the Lions finished with a disappointing record of 4-12 last year—last place in the NFC North—it was to no fault of their top offensive weapon. En route to earning another All-Pro selection, Megatron led the NFL in receiving yards for a second straight year.
Regardless of his hand situation, Johnson continues to prove time and again that he is the most reliable wideout the league has to offer.

Within the next five years, find a man. He will be some form of Ryan Reynolds. You will woo him by leaving storybooks of your relationship, coupons for a toenail clipping, and a box of Frosted Flakes to let him know that you "cereasly" love him. This will work, because all men really do prefer scented candles with your picture on it to a lap dance.
Your wedding must include the following: Canopies. Lace. Satin. Tulle. Braids. Tiffany blue. Hair bows. Pumpkins. Cowboy boots. Black lights. Aquariums. Fake boobs. Cinderella references. Kate Middleton. Grass fields. Ocean views. Bacon.
He will whisk you away afterwards in the back of a pickup truck with tin cans hanging from the back to a ten thousand square foot home that is simultaneously located in Palm Beach, Rome, Dubai, and rural Horseheads, New York. There will still be canopies. Monogram everything and organize by size, color, and fiber content to easily identify when your maid steals something. Also, give her some dish soap for Christmas to let her know that you "Dawn't want to live without her." It will foster loyalty.
Cosmetics are no longer a means for minor self-improvement; they are to be treated as a form of both self-expression utility. This means your eyes should have hamburgers painted on the lids, and your nails should be shaped into all of the tools found in a Swiss Army knife.
Your child will refuse to eat and will likely contract polio unless you craft their food into other things. Veggie platters arranged to look like Elmo. Pancakes shaped into the endocrine system. Cheese cubes carved into Michaelangelo's David.
It is insufficient to prepare any meal that does not have at least four modifiers for the main ingredient. Preferred words include cheesy, stuffed, buffalo, mini, savory, skinny, and Nutella. Even though you will have a fully stocked kitchen with perfectly good appliances, you will make your food in other random shit. Cupcakes in your microwave. Hashbrowns in your waffle maker. Salmon in your dishwasher. Find a way to make all of this vegan and gluten free.
Even with your gourmet cooking, you will maintain the abs of Jillian Michaels and the ass of Beyonce. You will do so by doing 10 jumping jacks, 10 burpees, 10 sit ups, and 10 push ups before every shower, because that is all it takes to be a "lean, mean, fat burning machine," much like your George Foreman Grill.
When in doubt, you will no longer stress. Just take a Mason Jar, cover it in glitter, and hang up yet another "Keep Calm" poster. Perfection.

Consisting of the two of most important and established AIDS research centres in the country, the IrsiCaixa Institute for AIDS Research at the Germans Trias I Pujol (Can Ruti) Hospital and the AIDS and Infectious Diseases Service at Barcelona's Hospital Clìnic, HIVACAT carries out research into the development of a new vaccine against HIV in coordination with ESTEVE, and with the support of the "La Caixa" Foundation (Obra Social "la Caixa"), the Department of Health and the Department of Economy and Knowldege of the Generalitat de Catalunya, Catalonia's autonomous government. This consortium is the first major attempt at establishing collaboration in this field between local government, researchers and companies.
Both research centres are conducting research alongside 5,000 patients who benefit from both the rapid incorporation of new treatments developed directly in the two centres, and innovations achieved internationally. HIVACAT consists of a team of more than 60 scientists trained in prestigious international research centres such as Harvard University in the United States, l'Insitut Pasteur in Paris, and London's Royal Free Hospital.
In Spain, the project is co-directed by Dr Bonaventura Clotet from Germans Trias i Pujol Hospital, and Dt Josep Maria Gatell from Barcelona's Hospital Clìnic. Also worthy of mention is the incorporation of researcher Christian Brander from Harvard University (Boston, USA), who has joined the IrsiCaixa Institute for AIDS Research as coordinator of HIVACAT, affiliated to the Catalan autonomous government's research institute ICREA.
The scientific programme
The HIVACAT research project is structured around 8 areas of research focused on tackling the main obstacles in developing HIV vaccines, both preventative, to avoid HIV infection, and therapeutic, to stop the disease from developing.
On one hand, the research is centred on the description of markers related to the control of the infection, as well as the study of HIV diversity on the planet, and its effects on immune responses in the local population, and on the other the study of HIV entry mechanisms in target cells, and the development of new substances capable of inducing immune response (immunogens), that function as independently as possible of the genetic make-up of each individual. Finally, tests of candidate vaccines will be carried out as part of pilot clinical studies.
In the last few years, HIVACAT researchers have produced a number of therapeutic vaccine candidates which are currently at an advanced stage of development (clinical trials in phases I and II). However, the main objective in the next 4 years is to design new prophylactic and therapeutic vaccine candidates.
ESTEVE will intervene in the research process at the testing stage of the vaccine on people, taking over the subsequent clinical development and marketing of the product.
The afore-mentioned areas of research are reinforced by a transversal platform for the validation of experimental techniques between participating centres and also feature multiple collaborations between other national and international research groups in the context of a "global initiative" in order to find an effective vaccine. Researchers at these institutions are currently widening their activities to include more regions in the world, including clinics in South Africa, Central Africa and also Peru, where a number of studies have been in progress for several years.
The 8 areas of research are as follows:

Bayer HealthCare will use Dimension Therapeutics' adeno-associated virus (AAV) technology under a collaboration by the companies to develop and commercialize a new gene therapy for hemophilia A. The deal could net Dimension up to $252 million.
The AAV vector technology is designed to allow for systemic intravenous administration of the clotting factor gene in vivo. The technology has been shown in preclinical studies to target the liver, resulting in long lasting expression of FVIII protein at therapeutic levels. Dimension's vectors apply the NAV® technology platform of co-owner ReGenX Biosciences.
NAV includes novel AAV vectors such as rAAV7, rAAV8, rAAV9, and rAAVrh10. The company says NAV provides further advantages over traditional AAV vectors, including greater efficiency for delivering genes in vivo, faster onset of gene expression, high tissue selectivity, and high-titer manufacture.
The technology was discovered in the lab of ReGenX' scientific founder James M. Wilson, M.D., Ph.D., director of the gene therapy program at the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Wilson also chairs Dimension's Scientific and Technical Advisory Board, and serves as editor-in-chief of Human Gene Therapy, a journal published by GEN publisher Mary Ann Liebert Inc.
In October, Dimension entered into an exclusive license and collaboration with ReGenX that gave Dimension preferred access to NAV vector technology and rights in ReGenX product programs in multiple rare disease indications.
"We are proud to partner with Bayer, a leader in the treatment of hemophilia A, to develop a therapy with the potential to significantly change the treatment landscape," Thomas R. Beck, M.D., Dimension's CEO, said in a statement.
Dimension will receive $20 million upfront from Bayer, and is eligible for up to $232 million in payments tied to development and commercialization milestones.
Dimension will oversee all preclinical development activities and the Phase I/IIa clinical trial, with funding from Bayer. Depending on results of the Phase I/IIa trial, Bayer will advance the gene therapy to a Phase III trial, make all regulatory submissions, and hold worldwide rights to commercialize the potential treatment for hemophilia A. Dimension is also eligible for tiered royalties based on product sales.
Separately, Dimension said it closed on a $30 million financing, with new investor OrbiMed joining existing investor Fidelity Biosciences in the round. Fidelity—whose partners include Beck and Dimension Chairman Ben Auspitz—joined ReGenX in launching the company last year, focusing on developing gene therapies for rare diseases.
Dimension continues to advance a wholly owned hemophilia B program towards clinical development. The program has progressed past candidate selection toward IND-enabling work in advance of a submission and Phase I trial.

Sorenstam to Play Against the Men Again
Retired LPGA great Annika Sorenstam will compete again against male players. The winner of 89 international tournaments and over $22 million has agreed to play in the American Century Championship, which features celebrities from the sports and entertainment worlds.
Sorenstam, a part-time resident of Lake Tahoe and mother of two, will play on even terms in the nationally televised, 54-hole, $600,000 competition at Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course.
Sorenstam, now 43, is 11 years removed from her memorable foray onto the PGA Tour at the 2003 Colonial Open in Fort Worth, Texas, where she missed the cut by three strokes. The native of Sweden retired from tournament play in 2008.
The event's scoring is a modified Stableford format based on a point system by hole, which suits Sorenstam just fine. "Once you get inside the ropes, I am competitive and I'm sure that's not going to go away," said Sorenstam. "I like the (Stableford) format. I'm playing from the same tees (as the men). Nowadays, I don't play stroke play, necessarily. So this will be a little different and I'm looking forward to it."
Celebrity entrants include John Elway, Ray Allen, Steph Curry, Aaron Rodgers, Jerry Rice, Jason Kidd, Steve Young. Elway and Curry are expected on the leaderboard with eight-time winner Rick Rhoden, the former Big League pitcher who started 33 PGA Champions Tour events after turning 50 in 2003. Other contenders are Trent Dilfer, 2001 Super Bowl Champion Baltimore Ravens QB, former NHL star Jeremy Roenick and former NFL quarterbacks Mark Rypien and Billy Joe Tolliver.
"We expect Annika's participation to generate additional interest and buzz among fans, celebrities and media as we mark our 25th year in Lake Tahoe," said Gary Quinn, vice president, programming and owned properties NBC Sports. "She's an icon in the sport and has been a friend of the tournament for years.
"With her success and competitive nature, it should present a riveting dynamic for the tournament. The other celebrities will relish the opportunity to test their skills against her. Annika adds major star power to the most recognizable field in golf and yet another compelling entertainment component for viewers and fans in attendance."
In her only foray at Edgewood Tahoe in 2004, Sorenstam joined Michael Jordan, Donald Trump and Ahmad Rashad on the back nine during a practice round. She shot a 3-under 33 from the Blue (Men's) tees on a course she had never played.
Sorenstam started her golf career in 1995 and became the 13th player to capture the U.S. Women's Open as her first American victory. She spent 15 years on the LPGA Tour and Ladies European Tour, winning with consistency and pocketing 10 major championships. With her record six Vare Trophies; eight Rolex Player of the Year awards, Sorenstam is regarded as the greatest female golfer of the generation, and arguably the best of all-time.
"I have played the course before," added Sorenstam. "The location (Lake Tahoe) is amazing. It's kind of a narrow golf course and I don't think the distance is going to be (a big factor). My biggest thing nowadays is probably my accuracy on the smaller greens. I'm going to try to stay focused on golf and not the beautiful view."
Since retiring from the LPGA tour, Sorenstam has spent time with family and new business ventures. Since 2008, she has competed at the 2011 ADT Skills Challenge and the 2013 Notah Begay III Foundation Challenge.
The American Century Championship has raised over $4 million for scores of charities including UNCF, Autism Speaks, Mark Cuban's Fallen Patriot Fund, FDNY's Uniformed Firefighter Scholarship Fund and LIVESTRONG. In the wake of a 2007 Tahoe region fire, tournament players raised $485,000 for relief and rebuilding initiatives.
NBC Sports and NBC Sports Network will televise live all three rounds of the tournament, which will be played July 15-20.

Well, this weekend was my first successful weekend at NOT blogging. And I have to admit, it was kind of nice.
There were a few times in which I was wonder what was up in blog land. And I did still check in on Twitter, which I typically have open if my computer is on. But I didn't go to Google Reader at all and I also didn't open my blog up.
Work this weekend was actually pretty okay. We were relatively slow (as far as weekend mornings go) because it's spring break this coming week at both the university in town and the elementary and secondary school.
I will say that silly daylight savings didn't make for good sleeping. I kept waking up throughout the night, worrying that for some reason I wouldn't wake up at the right time or something. I honestly think I woke up once an hour. Not fun.
This post is a bit boring but… what can I say? It was just one of those weekends. LUCKILY, I have fun things coming up this week, so stay tuned!

Police found the remains of 14 people Tuesday stuffed into an abandoned SUV on a highway in the Mexican Gulf state of Veracruz, state officials said.
The grisly discovery was made on the Alamo-Potrero del Llano state highway near Los Cuates, a ranch in northern Veracruz close to the border with Tamaulipas state, the state government said in a statement.
The statement refers to "remains" and not bodies, indicating that the victims may have been dismembered.
Initial reports said the remains of at least six people had been found in the vehicle.
Officials have not said whether any messages had been left with the bodies, a common practice used by drug cartels to intimidate rivals.
The federal government launched "Operation Safe Veracruz" last October in an effort to stem the wave of drug-related violence in the Gulf state.
Veracruz has been plagued by a turf war between rival drug cartels that has sent the state's murder rate skyrocketing.
Residents of Veracruz city were stunned on Sept. 20 by the discovery of 35 bodies dumped on a busy thoroughfare.
A week later, 32 bodies were found at three drug-gang "safe houses" in the Veracruz-Boca del Rio metro area.
The Gulf, Los Zetas and Jalisco Nueva Generacion cartels, as well as breakaway members of the once-powerful La Familia Michoacana organization, are fueling the violence in the state.
Veracruz, Mexico's third-most populous state, is coveted as a key drug-trafficking corridor to the United States, officials say.
President Felipe Calderon declared war on Mexico's drug cartels shortly after taking office in December 2006, deploying tens of thousands of soldiers and Federal Police officers across the country to combat drug cartels and other criminal organizations.
The government has managed to capture or kill 22 of Mexico's 37 most-wanted criminals, but it has been unable to stop the violence.
The death toll in Mexico's drug war stands at more than 50,000 since 2006. EFE

Well I watched Monte Cristo that I got from the sale. I must say it might be the best most beautiful anime ever. Wow I wasn't expecting it to be a masterpiece like that, I expected it to be good, but that was phenominal. Wow.
I agree. It was very unique and great anime adaptation. Another anime adaptation based on a book that I watched a while back is Romeo x Juliet. I thought it was good in my opinion and it was an interesting concept. Same story from the book, but a little different. Also animes based on books are fun to watch too.

"The first time, you are horrified," she tells Harper's Bazaar in its September issue. "It's all lovely when you are pregnant; but when you are not pregnant and you haven't been for a couple of months and you are still carrying tons of extra weight and everything's all hanging and sagging, you think, How is this ever going to go back? But it does. If you do a lot of working out."
Both times she was expecting, Paltrow, 33, says she gained 40 lbs., and lost 20 by the time she came out of the hospital.
"With Apple I kept the extra 20 pounds on until she was three months old, and then it came off," she says. "And that's exactly what's happening now." She's been working out, "but not dieting, because I am a milk machine."
But should anyone think her figure is perfect again, Paltrow says, "They should see the cellulite on my thighs right now."

Any beauty secrets she'll pass on to Apple? "Drink tons of water, and wear sunscreen," she says. "And I really do think that if you eat fresh, organic, good food, you look like it."

sure, IPs don't suffer dns temp failures, but when I intend to trust
*.gandi.net, I really want to trust *.gandi.net, not resolve that one
day, then have gandi add new relays that I don't trust, or even worst,
having the IP assigned to another organization.
and if you mean forged PTRs, then any software that trusts the PTR
without actually resolving it back to the IP is bogus. Those of us
running "real" MTAs don't have to suffer from such descrepancies.
of course, it is theortically possible to forge the name and attack DNS
so that it "fully" resolves, but in that case, a lot of other stuff
would break anyway (for good or for bad, we rely on dns too much).

not sure I understand. people can't easily forge their rdns (in the
sense: FcrDNS. PTR alone is useless), and if they can, then they can do
other dns attacks making all dns based checks useless.
if you mean forging Received headers, well, that's not a problem as long
as the relay path is correctly parsed (don't trust infos beyond last
trusted received header).

Teaching climate change at South Tahoe High School could be great for some students, but trying to make it a standard that applies to all students is ridiculous. Climate change is studied using mathematical models that require a solid understanding of calculus and partial differential equations. In order for high school students to become effective students of climate change, or even to be able to read and understand articles written about climate change, they would need to learn calculus and partial differential equations.
There are many fields of science that do not require calculus. A medical doctor or geologist could most likely go through their entire career without ever needing to use calculus. With universal health care coverage on the horizon, it would make sense for STHS to focus on trying to train students in the biological sciences. Because, as more people get health coverage, there is going to be an increased demand for doctors.
The study of climate change is entirely based on creating mathematical models of the world and spinning them up till they reach a steady state and then adding in a factor that represents anthropogenic changes to our atmosphere and spinning the model up again for a 100 years or so till it reaches a steady state. If the two steady states are different, then your model predicts anthropogenic climate change. When using low resolution models of the 1980s the final state was globally warmer, but with today's high resolution models the state is different, but not necessarily warmer. Hence the change in name to climate change.
Climate change is neither fact nor fiction, but a prediction about what might happen based on what did happen in a fictionalized virtual world. Certain kids will love it, but it is not for everybody.

World Vision's Mansfield believes the church has a crucial role in sustaining peace. "In order for peace to take hold it also requires local churches of all denominations and traditional tribal leaders to encourage and actively build peace and reconciliation among communities that have experienced a great deal of brutality," he told CT.
"Many people who fled fighting initially sought safety in the churches which tried their best to meet the humanitarian needs. But even churches could not protect those who sought safety when the fighting arrived on their doorsteps. Those people fled or were attacked, mutilated, raped and killed."
With the amount of food aid coming into South Sudan, there is anxiety about whether food supplies will end up on the black market or be looted by the either side in the conflict. Jeremy Konyndyk, director of the Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance at the U.S. Agency for International Development, told the news media that looting by opposition forces is a problem and the South Sudan government is putting too many obstacles in the way of aid delivery. "It is a really extraordinary and outrageous occurrence and it's been driven by very irresponsible behavior by both parties to this conflict," he said in media reports.
World Vision's Mansfield told CT, "We have direct control over the whole provision chain. The government and government opposition have in the recent peace agreement committed to allowing humanitarian agencies the access they need to distribute food.
About 235,000 people are in UN camps inside Sudan. But many Sudanese have fled the country. The UN estimates that 285,000 refugees are in camps in Ethiopia, Kenya, and neighboring nations.
Sparsely populated, South Sudan has 11 million people and is one of poorest and least developed countries worldwide. It includes the Sudd, one the world's largest swamps, twice the size of Massachusetts and populated by thousands of elephants and more than 1 million antelope. It's been called Africa's Eden.
Economically, South Sudan and Sudan rely on oil revenues to fund government operations. There are 5 billion barrels of proven oil reserves.

Stonewall Links in Pa. to Host 2016 U.S. Mid-Amateur
The United States Golf Association (USGA) has announced Stonewall Links, in Elverson, Pa., will host the 2016 U.S. Mid-Amateur. This will be the first USGA championship at Stonewall Links. The dates of the championship are September 10-15.
"The USGA is pleased to bring the U.S. Mid-Amateur Championship to Stonewall Links for the first time," said Thomas J. O'Toole Jr., USGA vice president and Championship Committee chairman. "Stonewall's two courses complement each other and will provide an exciting and competitive setting for stroke play and match play. Mid-amateur golfers are central to the USGA's mission and Stonewall Links will be a fine host for both the players and championship."
Stonewall Links is located in Chester County, 50 miles northwest of Philadelphia. It will hold the U.S. Mid-Amateur on its Tom Doak-designed Old and North Courses. The Old Course challenges players from tee to green and emphasizes accuracy and distance, while the North Course features more difficult green complexes and requires a more exacting short game.
The Old Course opened for play in 1993. It will be used for both stroke-play qualifying and the match-play portion of the championship. The course has hosted the 2003 Pennsylvania Open, the 1996 Philadelphia Open and two Philadelphia Amateurs. The North Course, which opened in 2003, will be the companion stroke-play course for the U.S. Mid-Amateur.
"The members and staff of Stonewall Links are pleased to host the 2016 U.S. Mid-Amateur Championship," said Frank Foster, who serves as both championship chairman and club vice president. "Stonewall has two championship courses which are ready to test the players. The championship committee has already begun preparations for what promises to be an exciting event.

HERSHEY There was a hint of hesitation in Ryan Solomon's voice, almost as if he wasn't completely satisfied.
It's the life of a perfectionist. The Milton senior capped his career with his second consecutive state title Saturday at the Giant Center on the same weekend he broke Bobby Crawford's career wins record. And to boot, Saturday was also his birthday.
He dominated Chartiers-Houston's Garrett Vulcano in the 195-pound Class AA championship match, winning 7-0. He was the only one of three local wrestlers in the finals Saturday to capture a state championship.

Ryan Solomon points to the orange-wearing Milton fans in the Giant Center stands after winning the Class AA 195-pound title Saturday at the PIAA wrestling championships Saturday in Hershey.
Muncy's Troy Hembury became the Indians' third three-time state placewinner, but fell, 3-1, to Burrell's Dakota DesLauriers in the 182-pound final. Lewisburg's Brandon Smith won his second state medal, but lost to Saucon Valley's Ray O'Donnell, 2-0, in the 220-pound final.
In all, only two of the six District 4 wrestlers in the finals won. Benton's Zain Retherford (138 pounds) joined Solomon in winning his second state title.
Saturday's win was the 142nd of the Pitt-bound Solomon's career. It culminated as dominant a season as there was, not just in District 4, but in the state. He finished 40-0 for the season with wins against a handful of nationally-ranked wrestlers, including two against O'Donnell.
Solomon's 7-0 win over Vulcano, a first-time state medalist, continued that trend of dominance. He finished on top in all three periods after recording a takedown and finished the postseason without giving up a point.
"This means a lot. One's not better than the other," Solomon said of his two gold medals. "They both hold a special place to me. Repeating as a state champion is a special feeling."
Solomon's state title may have been as forgone a conclusion as there could be in the always precarious state tournament. He was the lone returning state placewinner in a field of 13 seniors and three juniors.
He was so dominant this season that after beating O'Donnell in the finals at the Beast of the East and Hurricane Classic in December, the Saucon Valley senior began his ascent to the 220-pound weight class. This wasn't even the same Ryan Solomon who got into the state finals each of the last two years.
Gone were the days of the 2-1, rideout matches that left Milton fans with little to no fingernails. He supplanted those days with four wins in authoritative fashion. He won three of his matches this weekend by a combined 17-0, and the fourth was a 1 minute, 15 second pin in the semifinals Friday night.
Solomon is one of three state champions in Milton history, and all three have won multiple titles. Crawford won four for the Black Panthers, and Charlie Heller won two.
"I think I've just been getting after it in practice," Solomon said. "I've got great coaches and great partners and they just keep pushing me. They constantly preach if I keep wrestling and open it up, good things are going to happen, and they happened. I know it feels a lot better on my parents and the fans."
Solomon got sloppy early in his finals match Saturday, getting out of position as Vulcano made a valiant attempt at a takedown. It only seemed to energize the Milton senior, though. Just seconds later he gathered both ankles and kept his toes in bounds for his first takedown. He rode out Vulcano for the final 1:14 of the first period.
He picked up another takedown on the edge of the circle with 1:02 to go in the second period and rode out the remainder of the time on top. His third takedown, with 40 seconds to go in the third period, led to the start of a celebration in the stands. He finished with 2:56 of riding time.
But the takedowns on the edge set everything up. They were takedowns Solomon never seemed to get in the past in Hershey. Finally, Saturday he was asserting his will offensively.
"I definitely feel a lot better offensively," Solomon said. "But a win's a win."
Smith struggled to find a rhythm during the 220-pound final. He fell into the things O'Donnell wanted to do. During the first period, in which he was hit for a stalling warning, he was constantly trying to work out of the tie-ups O'Donnell created.
And in the second period, O'Donnell rode Smith for the entire two minutes, something that hadn't been done to Smith since he lost to Solomon in his second match of the year in December.
"He definitely controlled the match," Smith said. "What I was doing was trying to get some one-on-one control. My plan coming in was to try and get some arm drags because he really likes to charge in. He really controlled the wrist control and the tie control."
Smith seemed to get what he wanted to start the third period, getting to his leg ride. But when O'Donnell began to come out the side, Smith switched to a cross-body ride in a panic and O'Donnell was able to ride him out for the final 1:08 for his first state title. O'Donnell also beat Smith last year in the 195-pound consolation semifinals, 4-2.
"I wish I could have gotten my leg ride a little tighter there," Smith said. "I probably would have stayed with the power half and stayed in better control. But I panicked All the credit to him."
Hembury was attempting to become the Indians' third state champion in as many years, but made just one mistake in a stellar 182-pound final against four-time state placewinner Dakota DesLauriers. After staying away from DesLauriers tie-ups for much of the match, Hembury took a shot late in the third period which DesLauriers countered and was able to re-shoot for a takedown with just 12 seconds left.
As the final seconds of the match ticked away, Hembury laid on the mat with his forehead on his forearm. The Columbia-bound senior finishes his career as Muncy's career wins leader with 166, more than 20 ahead of second-place Aaron Fry.
He joined just Harold Hill and Larry Lauchle as the school's only three-time state placewinners.
