WASHINGTON In an ambitious road map for slashing the global spread of AIDS, the Obama administration said treating people sooner and more rapid expansion of other proven tools could help even the hardest-hit countries begin turning the tide of the epidemic over the next three to five years.
An AIDS-free generation is not just a rallying cry, it is a goal that is within our reach, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who ordered the blueprint, said in the report.
Make no mistake about it, HIV may well be with us into the future, but the disease that it causes need not be, she said Thursday.
President Barack Obama echoed that promise.
We stand at a tipping point in the fight against HIV/AIDS, and working together, we can realize our historic opportunity to bring that fight to an end, Obama said in a proclamation to mark World AIDS Day on Saturday.
Some 34 million people worldwide are living with HIV, and despite a decline in new infections over the last decade, 2.5 million people were infected in 2011.
Given those figures, what does an AIDS-free generation mean? That virtually no babies are born infected, young people have a much lower risk than today of becoming infected, and that people who already have HIV would receive life-saving treatment.
That last step is key. Treating people early in their infection, before they get sick, not only helps them survive but also dramatically cuts the chances that they will infect others. Yet only about 8 million HIV patients in developing countries are getting treatment. The United Nations aims to have 15 million treated by 2015.
Other important steps include treating more pregnant women, and keeping them on treatment after their babies are born; increasing male circumcision to lower mens risk of heterosexual infection; and increasing access to male and female condoms.
The world spent $16.8 billion fighting AIDS in poor countries last year. The U.S. government is the leading donor, spending about $5.6 billion.
Thursdays report outlined how progress could continue at current spending levels, something far from certain as Congress and Obama struggle to avert budget cuts at years end.

This team definitely has a certain toughness that last year's team was lacking. They play with a passion and fire that is infectious and they keep fighting from start to finish. This ugly, nasty style of play and the toughness of this team were on display for all to see this past weekend against Illinois. Let's get to it and see what we can take away from this past weekend's game.
What went well:
I'm going to go ahead and start with the constants that seem to register every week, starting with the defense. Gerald Hodges has officially solidified himself as the ultimate play-maker on this defense, and that is hard to do with the type of season Astorino, Hill, and Still are having. These four players combined for 46 tackles, 7.5 tackles for loss, 2 sacks, 1 forced fumble, and three pass break ups this past weekend. Hodges alone accounted for 19 tackles, 1 tackle for loss, 1 sack, 1 forced fumble, and 2 pass break ups. As long as these guys stay healthy, opposing offenses will have a tough time putting points on the board.
As for the offensive side of the ball, I'm sticking with Silas Redd. While Silas is not built like a power running back, he has been the workhorse of this offense. He has been steady, durable, and is constantly grinding out yards after contact. I expected Silas to have a big year like this, but not in this fashion. The bye week could not have come at a better time for Redd.
Matt McGloin on the final drive. (see what needs work for details)
What needs work:
The method that we use to attack an option minded offense. The defense always starts out in its base formation, and once the other team exposes the weakness in the center of the field, the coaches make the adjustments and attack that QB. My suggestion is to start with a spy early and let Hodges and Stupar get to work early in the game. This way the QB doesn't have time to establish a rhythm and Hodges can make his presence felt early and often.
Matt McGloin's decision making is still an issue that needs to be worked on. He did a fantastic job on that final drive of making the right decisions and delivering strikes, but his whole body of work speaks for itself. The problem is that up until the final drive, McGloin was 5-18 for 40 yards and an interception. McGloin right now gives us the best chance to win, and if we want to win our last three games, we'll need him to make great decisions.
What went wrong:
I don't even know where to start with this one, but I'll go ahead and start with the entire offense excluding Silas Redd. The offensive line has done a great job of opening up running lanes for Redd, but they've been struggling as of late with pass protection. The QBs seem to be under duress on every single pass play and they're not getting nearly enough time for plays to develop. My suggestion, run a couple of draw plays or screens (seems like PSU has given up on the screen pass since EMU game), or move the pocket to help the QBs out. Not on every single play, but just mix it up to keep the defense honest in their pass rush.
The wide receivers, which were once thought to be one of the top units in the Big Ten, have done everything in their power to prove otherwise. Wet ball or not, these receivers have dropped a ton of balls this year, too many to even count. What worries me the most, is the drop-off that is going to occur after Moye graduates following this season. Let's just hope the rest of the receiving corps can get it together and help McGloin and Moye out.
What should we take away:
That it doesn't matter who the QB is for Penn State because the offensive coaching staff does not give them the support they need to succeed. While McGloin has been way more successful this season, both he and Bolden have regressed this year. Both of these players deserve more support and development from the coaching staff. It definitely is disheartening to have an elite defense and see the offensive side struggling the way that they are.
This team is in it until the final whistle in every single game this year. They just refuse to give up and that character has defined this team and is the reason why we're sitting here at 8-1 as opposed to 5-4. This team deserves major credit for being where they are today, especially with the lack of support from the offensive coaching staff.
Let me know what you took away from this week's game? Do you think the Lion's have enough to win their last three games? Or, do you think we'll end the season with three straight losses?

Caffeinate! has been given a face lift and a total revision to correct any of the original errata, and to further clarify the places where one works in the round, versus when the Dalek is worked back and forth.
This new and improved version is now available, as of February 13th 2012 and is available here: HCR.Caffeinate.CoffeePressCozy.1.2
If you have the original version, I would ask that you simply download the new version no 1.2 as the errata have not been isolated. Thank you for your kind understanding and do have fun with this whimsical knit!

For those among us who have succumbed to the command to Caffeinate!, this hand-knit cozy will help to keep your coffee hot in a not so sinister fashion.
Size: fits standard press-style coffee makers that have a domed top, 750 ml (8 teacup) size.

I do hope you enjoy this fun and functional pattern!

hey all
how do you stop the wing from warping after bending ?
I am new to fff its a very rare item here in australia.
the fff i have has aluminium on one side and brown paper on the other, i removed both sides.
i figured out the wing is 38" long x 7 " chord.
the flat middle section is 21" wide.
I used the bend foam jig, and hot air gun, i tried several peices of scrap to test bend first
which worked ok, but when I tried the 21" peice, it warped badly, a big bow length ways
this FFF has a grain, i guess the grain should run length ways.
Any clues guys how to get a straight wing after bending, with a heat gun ?????
Bruce... Not having any of your foam , it's hard to tell why it didn't bend properly ...If the bend is UPwards as Spike mentioned , then just do as he says and don't worry about it...You could try heating the foam with some weights on it to keep it flat .... carefull , might get some other unwanted warps ...

yes the bow is "upwards" and it gave the wing some "dihedral" the bow was about 1.5" end to end, it has a LOT of lift when waved around.
this foam is the real bluecor FFF made by dow in the USA, there seems to be 3 kinds.
one with plastic on both sides, one with aluminium on one side and brown paper the other, and i forget what the third one is, its very hard to get in australia and VERY expencive, and is flimsy with the backing foil and paper peeled off
Any how i wanted to make this model to the plans and i was very dissapointed with the warp in the wing, i glued some bambo skewers to the LE and TE, and that has straighted it a fair bit, but i will try some more bending and try to perfect my bending skills.
I had thought about useing it with the warp in, but i did not think about reducing the tip height thanks for that idea
back to the drawing board
btw how long would you guys take to heat and bend the 21" wing section ?

Speaking of Flying in the Dark Ages
I found this thread a few days ago and just finished reading it. Reading about the rudder only flying reminded me of one of my early planes. It was a .049 Cessna Skylane with a 42.5 inch wing span and weighed more than a pound. Mine was rudder and elevator only no throttle. I flew it for years before it got to heavy with oil and extra epoxy. The person who taught me how to fly, who was much better than I was, ended up getting one that was rudder only. He could do loops and rolls and I just tried to stay out of his way (chuckling). He always wanted to do patterns with me but I was worried that he would crash into me, the only thing I could do that he couldnt was climb faster. Reading this thread brought back a lot of fond memories. I pulled the old bird out of my airplane graveyard and took some pics to share.
In Australia , you guys have the best surfing and all the great lookin' women and NO FOAM .... What's that about ????
I think the Bendfoam jig induces an elliptical dihedral (warp) if there is too much space between the sticks .... are you heating the underside too when you bend... ???

gpw the space between the sticks would be about 1/2inch, I thought about reducing it
no i am only heating one side of the foam.
Yep we got some great aussie girls, great beaches, great beer, but no foam
guess there is very little "KNOWN" demand for it,
Brucej, the space between the sticks should be the thickness of the foam , plus a hair...that's why you're getting a bow...You guys need to talk to MS ...

I love this plane, could you pls forward me the plans to firstname.lastname@example.com
Please suggest which ESC, receiver, servos and Tx would suit it and for similar ones.
Bruce , that should take care of most of the problem... try heating the bottom side of the foam too ... On a double skinned foam (both sides) it also takes the wrinkles out and makes a smooth underside too ...
Jalal ... www.FoamFly.com/gallery/Glen and it's free... Just double click on the image for full size tiles...let us know if you have any trouble...OK
Rudder/Throttle control
Some asked about rudder/throttle control; I went out this morning (brrrr...27 degrees) and flew in a light north wind -- 3 - 5 knots -- and managed to do an OK rudder/throttle only landing (basically cut the throttle almost completely, and used rudder in the obvious way), but control in the air wasn't great ... in my small flying area, with trees on one side and water on the other, I was just too nervous to stop using all elevator control. If one had a large field, it seems as if it'd be not only possible but kind of fun.
(All this was with my "expanded by 20%" T1 with a 4025 prop on a J250, which flies a good deal slower than the standard sized one...)

MTV Says Hip Hip Hoo-'Ray'
Madonna lit up the 15th annual MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles, winning six awards, including Video of the Year for her hit single "Ray of Light." "It's a thin line between genius and sheer and utter bulls—t," cracked the maverick mom as she accepted the Best Direction award, also for "Ray of Light, "with director Jonas Akerlund. Other multiple winners included Will Smith, Aerosmith and Prodigy, who took home two trophies apiece. But the ceremony's most relieved winners may have been Green Day, who, after four years with 14 nominations and no wins, finally scored a spaceman statuette for Best Alternative Video for "Time of Your Life (Good Riddance)." Said lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong: "Susan Lucci, eat your heart out!"
Dueling divas Brandy and Monica staged a musical catfight as they sang their hit "The Boy Is Mine" for the first time live together. Their video was up for two awards, but they went home empty-handed.
Proud papa Will Smith thanked his creative inspiration, son Trey, 5, for his rap ode to fatherhood, "Just the Two of Us," which won Best Male Video.
"My hair was inspired by the Cookie Monster," says No Doubt lead singer Gwen Stefani, splitting hairs with the newly de-dredded Lenny Kravitz.
Henna-handed Madonna left her mark as the night's big winner, but she was criticized by Hindus for wearing Vaishnava tilak, holy facial markings representing purity, during her provocative performance of the hit "Ray of Light."
"I like schmoozing," says Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong, after-partying with Winona Ryder.
Goldie Hawn and Diane Keaton, who had the last laugh in The First Wives Club, yukked it up again during a break from filming their upcoming romantic comedy Town & Country in New York City's Central Park.
Tom Cruise, hoping to get shown the money as producer of the new drama Without Limits, caught up with his Jerry Maguire costar Cuba Gooding Jr. at the film's Los Angeles premiere.

Residents in several riverside communities in the province are on high alert as heavy rain and melting snow are causing water levels to rise to dangerously high levels.
The potential for spring floods is highest on the south shore along the Acadie River, near Carignan, a town which has already seen some flooding in the last few weeks.
The main street in the village of St-Clet, not far from St-Lazare, has also suffered flooding because of the rain and rapidly melting snow, despite being some distance from a river.
Hydro-Météo, the provincial agency that monitors water levels, also says people living along the Chateauguay, de la Tortue, des Anglais and Yamaska rivers are also at risk — in particular because of the heavy rain being forecast for today.

How have living conditions changed for you and your family during the past two years, if at all? U.S. Census data indicates that the national poverty rate remained unchanged at 15 percent in both 2011 and 2012, but the number of people living in poverty in the South rose from 18.4 million in 2011 to 19.1 million in 2012.
Louisiana ranks third in the nation for the percentage of residents living in poverty at 19.9 percent, according to new "ACS 2012 1-year estimates," released Thursday. Ranked number one is Mississippi at 24.2 percent and then New Mexico at 20.8 percent.
Louisiana ranks fourth for child poverty (28 percent) and third for family poverty (15.5 percent).
"At the local level, both New Orleans and Baton Rouge poverty rates were considerably higher than the statewide percentage in 2012. The U.S. Census reports that 28.7 percent of people in New Orleans and 26.7 percent of people in Baton Rouge were living at or below the poverty line," wrote Julia O'Donaghue in a recent article on NOLA.com and in The Times-Picayune.
Based on these statistics, it is likely that many Louisianians have had to make some tough financial decisions lately or be forced to face consequences -- consequences that can range from accruing credit card debt to living in hunger to homelessness.
Have you found yourself re-evaluating your budget or that of your family's? Or perhaps you're trying to determine what services and purchases are superfluous? Or, have lifestyle choices and living conditions remained relatively unchanged for you?

We are really excited about the new Madden Share feature in Madden NFL 25 and all of the possibilities that could come from this that it got us thinking about who we would like to see on a roster for each team historically. In this series of articles Game Changers Alex Barlow and Shopmaster will attempt to select the top 5 guys for each team that they would like to see in the game and on that teams' roster. You won't see any current players, just players that are not going to be in the game at launch but could be created using Madden Share. Today I want to start off this series of articles with the Chicago Bears. As a NFL little fan in the mid 80′s, there was probably no more intriguing team than that '85 Bears squad, but how many of those will make my top 5 I'd like to see in Madden NFL 25.

High Point For A Budding Career
by Adam Dickter

When Meital Dohan came here from Israel three years ago to further her acting career, the last thing she expected was to be cast as an administrator of a rabbinical school. A newcomer to American audiences, the 30-year-old Dohan is known in Israel for romantic film leads, flashy magazine covers and productions like "Love and Sex On The High Holidays," which she co-wrote. For the last six weeks she has been known to American cable viewers as Yael Hoffman on "Weeds," a comedy about the sordid underside of suburban life and the most successful series on Showtime. The character was, in part, imagined to add a semi-serious spiritual dimension to the show, but quickly evolved into one more in tune with Dohan's sultry Israeli roles, creating one of the most offbeat parts for a Jewish woman on modern TV. "I have a provocative image in Israel," Dohan, who hails from Harutzim, a village near the Negev, told The Jewish Week in an interview in Manhattan, where she now lives. "When I was reading the scripts, I saw that this was the direction they were taking the character." "Weeds" is about a suburban widow, Nancy Botwin (Mary Louise Parker), who supports her family by dealing marijuana after her Jewish husband dies. She lives with her brother-in-law, Andy (Justin Kirk) a doped-out goldbrick who has no job and corrupts her pubescent younger son. Having joined the Army Reserves years ago, Andy faces activation and likely deployment in Iraq. But in an unlikely twist, his service is deferred when he suddenly enrolls in an unnamed nondenominational rabbinical school. That's where he encounters Yael, the sabra admissions director who is also a student. Initially rejected, Andy wins her over with his own version of the Torah written, in a marijuana-induced haze, on toilet paper on the floor of the men's room at a pot-dealer's convention. Yael, who has nothing to do with the marijuana storyline, later explains that she is concentrating on her studies after her lover, a commanding officer in the Israeli army, was blown up by a Hamas suicide bomber in a pizzeria. She has since tracked down and killed the terrorists responsible, and in a later episode displays a bullet wound earned not in combat, but in the aftermath of a lurid tryst gone bad. Dohan says she enjoyed the writers' concept of Israeli women, balancing their sexuality and toughness. "It's kind of creating an image and then breaking it, making it funny and absurd," she said. "The character was a paradox. She is the head of a rabbinical school who happens to be a little bit of a pervert." But she insists the character does not strain credibility. "I think the life we're living in is so crazy," says Dohan. "There are so many stories that are more crazy than anything we can imagine. Look at the Michael Jackson case." Dohan's stint on the show, which ended this week (back episodes are available at Showtime On Demand) culminated in the aftermath of a scene with Yael and Andy that can't be described in a family newspaper. While the Yael storyline emerged from Andy's bogus spiritual journey on the show, it had more to do with a real one by "Weeds" creator Jenji Kohan. "I'm always exploring my Judaism," Kohan said in an interview from California. "My children attend a Jewish school, we observe Shabbos every week, I'm involved in a lot of discussion groups and Torah studies and women's retreats. I'm trying to find my place in the religion." Although the show is foremost a comedy, Kohan, 36, who is also its executive producer, says "it's never completely for laughs. Andy bitches about some of my issues." For example, in one scene the character complains that a Jewish man married to a non-Jew would be rejected from rabbinical school, although a gay man with a Jewish partner would not. "Lord knows, we don't always choose who to love," he says in a monologue about intermarriage. In Yael, Kohan wanted to create a character who, like Andy, was dealing with the loss of a loved one, but had the "spunk and sexiness" of an Israeli. "Usually Israelis are quite areligious," said Kohan. "We came up with a character that had been through a great deal, lost her lover, but was also searching for answers, came to America and, rather than assimilate, further was exploring her Judaism." Kohan would have liked the rabbinical school subplot to continue further, but the writers were constrained by the show's limited run and had to juggle more major themes, such as Nancy's sham marriage to a DEA agent, her teenage son's deliberate impregnation of his college-bound girlfriend and her neighbor's run for the town council. "I wanted more discussion of texts and the spirituality of religions, but that was a pretty lofty goal," says Kohan. "We only have a certain amount of time to tell stories." In the final cut, Andy's experience in rabbinical school is depicted only as flirting in the hall and dancing horas with other students while singing the Naomi Shemer folk tune "Od Lo Ahavti Dai," a scene Dohan considered suitably ridiculous. If the show returns for a third season, Kohan says, "I'd still like to explore Andyís spiritual journey, if he's capable of having one." Before "Weeds," Dohan starred in her own Off-Off-Broadway play, "The Bath Party" and had a bit part on "The Sopranos." But she's enjoyed a successful theater, film and TV career in Israel, having attended the Nissan Nativ acting school and toured with the Cameri Theater. During her military service, she was a member of the Israel Defense Force's theater troupe. Since "Weeds," Dohan has filmed a movie with noted Israeli director Amos Kollek, titled "LL," in which she plays a Polish woman searching for her father. No release date is set. She is also working on a book version of "Love and Humiliation," an exhibit she created with photographer Karen Gillerman Harel. The photos were inspired by Dohan's Hebrew poetry. She also wants to bring "Bath Party," a mostly one-woman show in which she sits in a tub and ruminates about life, to Off-Broadway. Although she lives here most of the year, Dohan frequently returns to her home in Tel Aviv and made a point of returning during last summer's Hezbollah conflict. "As soon as I realized it was very serious, what I wanted to do most was get on a plane and go over there. It happened to be that I had work to do there." She's the daughter of a Czech father and Austrian mother. Growing up, she says she always felt more European than Israeli and convinced herself she was French in another life. But as the granddaughter of a Holocaust survivor, she identifies with Israel's role as a Jewish haven. "Israel is in a very hard position; a lot of people here are critical, which is really not fair," she says. "There has never been such a country surrounded by people who don't want you to exist. It's a very complex situation."

Hyman1 has secured phonocardiograms of three types of fetal arrhythmia, namely, sinus arrhythmia, ventricular extrasystole and auricular fibrillation. Sinus arrhythmia is characterized by frequent slowing and speeding of the heart rate without the superimposition of additional beats or the elimination of expected beats. It should be easily recognized. The question of the cause of this phenomenon is of interest. In children one type of sinus arrhythmia is referred to as respiratory arrhythmia because the periods of rapidity and slowing of the heart beat usually conform to expiration and inspiration. While fetuses do exhibit on occasion what have been described as respiratory movements, such movements are minimal except in critical oxygen deprivation (Barcroft2) and would hardly, at their rate of 45 to 60 per minute, be responsible for the much less frequent alterations in heart rate shown in Hyman's tracings. In short, such arrhythmia is not the usual respiratory

Josh Hardy's Health Improving After Social Media Push to Get Him Experimental DrugAlice Gomstyn
It took a massive social media campaign and an unorthodox solution to get Josh Hardy access to an experimental drug.
Now thanks to that drug, his family says, the seven-year-old's health is indeed improving.
"Josh is doing well," his uncle, William Burns, told me over the phone yesterday. "He's got a long road ahead to recovery, but it appears that the medicine is working."
In a recent post to the site CaringBridge.org, Josh's mother Aimee said that after just two doses of brincidofovir, an oral antiviral drug, "the adenovirus is on its way to being suppressed" and that doctors at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee believe Josh is close to getting out of the ICU.
One major challenge still facing Josh include recovering his kidney function, which Aimee Hardy wrote "is the last major key for Josh's full recovery."
Josh, a cancer survivor who has recently had a bone marrow transplant, began treatment with brincidofovir for adenovirus last week. The common virus usually isn't serious but for a patient with a compromised immune system like Josh, it can be deadly. Brincidofovir, made by the small North Carolina pharmaceutical start-up Chimerix, has yet to win FDA approval and is still in the trial stage.
Under what's often called "compassionate use," pharmaceutical companies can provide experimental drugs to patients facing life-threatening illnesses. But Chimerix officials initially rejected Josh's doctors requests to provide its drug to the boy under compassionate use, saying the company had stopped honoring such requests for fear of endangering its efforts to get FDA approval and make the potentially life-saving drug widely available. (For more on the sizeable risks drug companies face when they provide compassionate use medicines to patients, see my earlier story on Josh Hardy here.)
That rejection prompted the #SaveJosh social media campaign on Facebook and Twitter, quickly attracting the attention of the national media. Days after the campaign began, Chimerix announced stunning news: together with the FDA, they found a way to provide Josh the drug without derailing efforts to get it approved: The FDA gave the greenlight for Josh and 19 other patients to receive brincidofovir in a pilot tiral.
Chimerix said that Josh Hardy's story "helped accelerate a discussion between the FDA and Chimerix regarding the need for additional clinical development to assess brincidofovir's potential in adenovirus infection." In other words, Chimerix had already been working on starting a new brincidofovir study but the #SaveJosh campaign sped up the process.
But the unusually quick collaboration between a pharmaceutical company and the FDA has implications for patients beyond Josh and the 19 others in the new study. Colorado anethesiologist David Dragoo suggested that it could "completely change the game in terms of how drugs that are still in development can be provided to patients and yet still protect the integrity and safety that we have all come to expect in the prescriptions we take, and perhaps one day these experimental drugs may even be subsidized as part of our health insurance benefits in extenuating circumstances like this one."
Bioethicist Dr. Arthur Caplan, of NYU Langone Medical Center, says there must be a systemic way to distribute compassionate use drugs so that it doesn't take a social media campaign to get a child (or anyone else) lifesaving drugs.
"Where is the country's national compassionate use fund to pay for experimental drugs for all — rich and poor, cute and not, young and old, media-savvy and not? Josh and those like him don't need more than speeches, they need money. Where is compassionate use in the current debate about health reform? Nowhere," Caplan wrote in an op-ed piece on NBCNews.com last week, before the new brincidofovir pilot trial was announced.
Caplan told me last week that the pilot trial that will include Josh Hardy is "a good compromise" but warned " another child with adenovirus could appear (at another hospital) and the whole scenario will be recreated."
The Hardy family, meanwhile, is grateful to all their supporters and to Chimerix for getting Josh the drug. They're asking those with an interest in joining the battle against pediatric cancer to support the Coalition Against Childhood Cancer, Max Cure Foundation, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and Caringbridge.org.

WASHINGTON — House Democratic budget chief Chris Van Hollen accused Speaker John Boehner on Wednesday of purposefully delaying an agreement on the fiscal cliff until the beginning of the year in the hopes of protecting his speakership.
"I'm getting increasingly concerned that one of the reasons the speaker is trying to string out these discussions is he wants to wait until Jan. 3 until the elections for speaker take place," Rep. Chris Van Hollen said at a breakfast with reporters hosted by the Christian Science Monitor.
"I hope he wouldn't avoid the tough decisions simply to take us into January after his swearing in," Van Hollen added, "but I'm becoming increasingly worried that that's exactly what's going on."
There has been some chatter on Capitol Hill, some unfounded, that Boehner could face a challenge to his speakership should he pitch an unpalatable fiscal cliff deal to his conference.
Democrats have even speculated, perhaps wistfully, that Boehner could pass a compromise package to avert the nation's looming austerity crisis without support from the majority of Republicans. But, Van Hollen conceded, such a move could prove politically perilous for Boehner.
"The risk for the speaker, of course, if he brings to the floor of the House a bill that doesn't have a majority of Republican votes, it could mean more churning in his caucus," Van Hollen said.
Boehner's office dismissed Van Hollen's idea as "nutty."
"That's nutty," Michael Steel, a spokesman for Boehner, wrote in an email. "The Speaker is doing everything possible to avert the fiscal cliff and protect American jobs right now. The White House just refuses to get serious about solving our country's spending problem."
- The man suspected of shooting and killing five people in a Washington mall is now in custody, officials said.
- Charlotte police have released video of Keith Lamont Scott's shooting and photos of a gun they say he had loaded.
- Kim Kardashian said she is voting for Hillary Clinton after being quoted saying she was "on the fence."

I read the editorial Oct. 8 in The Advertiser Tribune titled "Think Breast Cancer Safety." Your statement, "The great tragedy of breast cancer is that it is so easy to detect and can be treated so effectively, yet it kills so many women," is a false statement for many people. Yes, mammograms do detect some women's cancers. With technology improving, we'll be able to find more cancers in the future combined with better treatments which can save more lives; but please listen to my story.
I was terrified of breast cancer. My aunt died during the radiation state of the disease. I was not going to get breast cancer, or at least I would catch it in the early stages. Yearly, I got my mammograms and was checked by my ob/gyn. I also very routinely did my breast self-exam and even had the little card with the directions on how to check myself in the shower. I was determined to find this stuff early if I ever got it. That was one thing I could control.
Unfortunately, that isn't what happened. In December 2006, I completed my routine annual mammogram and doctor visit. The results arrived in January. No cancer. The problem was, my gut told me I had cancer. It made no sense. I could not find any trace of cancer and neither could anyone else. In February 2007, on a whim, I yanked my bra off in the middle of the kitchen, bent over, and kneaded my breast. There was a large lump. I called the doctor's office and was told if the lump got larger, call back.
By April, I was worried, and my lump hurt. I called the doctor to make an appointment. The doctor was on vacation and I had to wait. I saw the doctor in May. He could not find the lump without my help. After checking me, he rushed across the hall to the ultrasound room. Several people tried to find the lump with the ultrasound machine and only located it, again, with my help. The receptionist was ordered to call the surgeon immediately to set up an appointment and when the receptionist called, she told me the surgeon was on vacation and my earliest appointment would be in June.
It was six months after my mammogram before I had my first surgery. I was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer June 13, 2007. Later, after my first appointment with the radiologist, I was told most women find their own breast cancer.
In 2006, I had no idea that I had dense breasts, and women with dense breasts get cancer more often than women who don't, and mammograms are much less likely to detect cancer, no matter how big the growth. I had no idea that when you examine your breasts, you need to bend over, lay on one side and then the other and get into the tissue to search. Raising your arm and checking the breasts in the shower isn't going to do the job. I had no idea that cancer is usually found on the arm side of the body. Mine was on the other side of my breast ,in the middle of my body. No one was looking there.
Women should get their mammograms and be examined, but they should also move in all different positions and really examine the breasts. Cancers like mine will live close to the breast bone, and it is almost impossible to detect until it starts growing out into the breast and then can be felt, which is well after the early stages. My cancer was living in my body years before it was detected.
In conclusion, I hope I have enlightened my readers on why breast cancer kills so many women, even though it is "so easy to detect." I am still hoping that the rest of your sentence is correct "and can be treated so effectively". So far, so good here.
Susan Sherman,

The Colbolt Blue, while being a beautiful shade of irridecent Blue, is not a Tarantula for every collector.
It is a large, very aggressive, but also a very hardy species which makes it a great addition to any experienced collector that has a strong heart. Known to spend long periods of time in its burrows.
This Tarantula is NOT FOR BEGINNERS
The Cobalt Blue Tarantula is found in Asia in the countries of Thailand, Mayanmar and Laos.
It is known as a terrestrial spider which means it live in burrows and digs itself in so when you prepare to bring your Cobalt Blue Tarantula Home it is important that you have set up its habitat correctly which means ensuring that you have at least 3-5 Inches of substrate to allow your Cobalt Blue to dig in and have a place to naturally feel confortable in its surroundings. The best substrate is a mixture of 50/50 of VERMICULITE and Organic Potting soil be sure to microwave the potting soil first just to be sure that any mites etc are killed before setting up your terrarium.
The size of this Tarantula is medium and your spider will reach around 4 to 5 inches in Diameter so you will need to ensure you purchase the right size housing for this species including taking into account that is it terrestrial and will need to have enough space to move around and burrow.
A good reccomended Terrarium would be one that will allow the cobalt blue to be able to dig its own burrow and normally they will dig down around 3 to 5 inches so this terrarium is a perfect one for a terrestrial burrowing spider like the Cobalt Blue Tarantula
Another thing which is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT is temperature and humidity and since your Tarantula comes from a tropical jungle you need to mimic the enviroment they are from and you need to pay particular attention so your spider does not get too cold or the humidity too high or too low and the best way to monitor this is to use a special THERMOMETER AND HUMIDITY METER
You will want to keep the Cobalt Blue Tarantula at about 75 to 80 degrees with the same for humidity and ensure that you have a shallow water dish with water in it available at all times which will help with the humidity level. Try to have fluctuating heat conditions since it is normal for the temp to be lower at night than in the day for example.
Most of us that live in a cold climate will have our homes heated and normally this is sufficient for heat for our Tarantula but if you turn heating off at night just be sure that your Tarantulas temp does not fall below 70 degrees
If you do need a heat source, the best is a reptile heat pad which can be placed on the SIDE OF THE TANK away from the spider do not place it under the tank.
People love to use lights for heat and so they can see their Tarantula and this can be detrimental to your spider since they like dark places and many only come out at night, another reason is it can dry out your Tarantula cage and effect the humidity levels.
If you would like to see your Tarantula the best way is to use a very low voltage black or incandescent light and be sure to put it a few feet away especially if you are not planning on using it as a heat source for your spider. Be Sure to Monitor the TEMP and Humidity at all times.
It is also a good idea to add somewhere for your Tarantula to hide and a perfect solution for this is an very inexpensive natural cork bark, a small piece placed in your Tarantula cage will give your spider another place to hide
The Cobalt Blue Tarantula will feed on many insects including Crickets, Grasshoppers, Cockroaches even Baby mice, however the easiest things to feed your Cobalt Blue will be CRICKETS and MEALWORMS since these are easy to source and can be DELIVERED TO YOUR HOME you can even buy a beginners Cricket Breeding kit which will show you how to brred your own feeder crickets which will save you money especially if you have several species of Tarantulas.

Imagine a place where rock stars, rappers, movie idols and supermodels mingle—where they shed inhibitions, put on silly costumes, even play a round or two of hoops. If the locale seems strangely familiar, that's because it resembles the set of almost any MTV event held over the past two decades. But the footage that makes it onto the tube tells only part of the story. The intimate photos gathered here offer an insider's view of the planet's coolest ongoing party.
That hippy-dippy biker hugging presenter Mike Myers at 1999's MTV Movie Awards? It's best male performance winner Jim Carrey (for The Truman Show), who assumed an alter ego to protest being passed over for an Oscar. "I realized," he said, "that answerin' to the man just ain't where it's at."

Interns: Interpretation and Education
Interns in Interpretation & Education will have opportunities to use and improve oral and written communication skills in their daily interactions and through formal and informal visitor contacts, program presentation, and exhibit development.
A portion of the intern's time will be spent at visitor centers where duties include providing information, directions, and orientation to visitors and selling bookstore items and NPS passes. Interns also present formal interpretive programs including campfire programs, guided hikes, Junior Ranger programs, costumed living history demonstrations and tours, waterfall walks, and curriculum-based education programs. Each intern will be responsible for researching and developing at least one new interpretive program and an exhibit.
Interns have been hired in a voluntary capacity or as paid seasonal employees; the distinguishing feature of an intern's service is work that merits planned academic credit, rather than monetary compensation.
Candidates for interpretive work should be familiar with a variety of outdoor recreational activities; interns may be required to lead guided hikes of up to 5 miles over steep and rugged terrain in hot weather.
For more information on Interpretation & Education internships, please contact the Interpretation & Education Division (e-mail) at (570) 426-2413.
Interested candidates should send a cover letter with a current resume and college transcript to the attention of Interpretation & Education Internships at:
Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area
Please be as specific as possible and include references. Graduate and undergraduate students from all majors may apply. Application packets must be received by March 15 to be considered for a spring/summer position. Applications received after that date will be considered for later positions.
The U.S. Government volunteer website lists current internship openings for this park (Search by the park's zip code: 18324), and accepts on line applications. The site also lists internship opportunites throughout the National Parks.

Competing conceptions of place and space have played a decisive role in Russian history. In the most general sense, Russia's geopolitical position as the largest country in the world, one that is both a part of Europe and distinct from it, has been a recurring concern for Russian policy makers. For many other reasons as well, space and power have been closely associated with one another throughout Russian history. Problems of boundary and identity in a multi-ethnic empire, debates about Russia's place between an imagined East and an imagined West, competing representations of local, regional and national identity, and conflicts arising from rapid urbanization in a predominantly rural society are just some of the important ways in which place, space and politics have been intertwined in Russia.
We welcome proposals for essays that may be either broadly speculative and theoretical in nature or that are focused on specific subjects related to the interconnection of place and politics in imperial, Soviet, and/or post-Soviet Russia. Essays will be presented at a conference, and selected for a planned publication.
Meals and housing will be provided to participants as well as some assistance with travel costs.
Proposals should be limited to 750 words, including an explanation of how the proposed essay topic relates to the conference theme; please also include a brief, one-page version of your CV. Send proposals electronically as an attachment or in triplicate if a hard copy.

The controversial county police force and the state takeover of the Camden School District have become almost automatic points of contention for the challengers in Camden's June mayoral and council primary elections.
Trying to set themselves apart from the incumbents, their opponents in the Democratic primaries speak about doing things differently when it comes to police and education.
Theo Spencer, a former school board member who is opposing Mayor Dana L. Redd, says he would do what the council challengers say they would try to do: fight to get back local control of the school district.

Their happy time together took place just as Cruise, now 45, was kicking off his career 25 years ago, the 61-year-old diva tells Oprah Winfrey for an upcoming show taped in Las Vegas.
"I was so crazy about him," says Cher, who was 39 when she reportedly met the 23-year-old Cruise at a White House fund-raiser in the mid-'80s, not long after his breakthrough role in 1983's Risky Business.
Instantly smitten with the young actor, Cher recalls, "He was so wonderful ... And he was so, like, different."
The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports that at the time they got together, Cher was already an established star, while Cruise was a struggling actor.
Cruise Was 'Shy'Looking back, Cher remembers, "He was a shy boy. He didn't have any money. One night we walked into this restaurant in New York and this girl came up, this waitress came up and she took our order and stuff like that and he said, 'I knew that girl in school and she wouldn't give me the time of day.' "
Winfrey's audience particularly appreciated Cher's remembrance of the "long date" she spent with Cruise – "I lived in his apartment," she tells Winfrey – which elicited cheers from the crowd, reports Britain's Daily Mail.
According to the Oprah.com Web site, the interview with Cher was taped last Saturday at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, where Cher will begin headlining on May 6. Her Oprah interview is set to air May 8.

Success! Broad Appetit, a culinary event in its third year, raised $8,000 for FeedMore, the umbrella organization for the Central Virginia Foodbank and Meals on Wheels. This year's event, on June 6th, attracted over 25,000 people and some of the best restaurants and caterers in the Richmond area. Next year's Broad Appetit will return to Broad Street near Belvidere a few blocks from our Richmond inn on June 5, 2011. 2010 Award winners included Fan restaurants: Acacia mid-town (for their signature soft-shell sandwich with goat cheese-stuffed squash blossoms) and Avenue 805 (for their profiteroles with sweet cream cheese and raspberry filling topped with chocolate ganache).
The first weekend in June always has a lot to offer: First Friday Artwalk, Broad Appetit, and this year in 2010 A 10K Stride Through Time. Broad Appetit brings together Richmond's restaurants to a few blocks of Broad Street so that attendees can sample their dishes for a nominal fee. Plenty of cold beverages can be found as well. It is a great way to get a taste of Richmond's culinary experts and make a list of restaurants to visit at a later date. It's over for 2010 but the 2011 date has been announced (June 5th). Make your plans now to partake in one of Richmond's best new events, next year will be only the fourth, and already attracting huge crowds. So make a reservation now for a culinary gourmet weekend next year with a stay at Richmond's gourmet bed and breakfast in the historic Fan District, near Virginia Commonwealth University.

since the game does not show your unit's 'health' values and the fact that most vehicles have 'sections' that can be damaged (again with no visible values), this becomes nearly impossible to do (i.e invincible units), plus the fact that you would be trying to separate enemy from friendly.
if someone has a way to look at the unit's 'health' then we may be able to do something. however, it seems that one shot pretty much kills most troops, etc.
there may not be more that we can do with this game-

Another reason firing should be off, is that each time they get fired, they'd have to create a new coach. Which means they would lose their coaching level which lowers the cost of buying things with xp. so it would kind of be like kicking them when theyre down.
To me it looks like the rookie drafts will always be the same every time you start a new franchise. That's not a guarantee but i've got the same two in back to back ccms.EDIT: I was wrong about this, tried a third franchise and got a different draft.
Kurt Warner comes out of retirement.
The trading block system seems to become better the second year. They start adding players along with picks. Now the trades still don't make the most sense(greg jennings for a 3rd and some 77 ovr fb)
If you cant play your game against a user and given week. Just click on simulate and it will allow the other user to play or simulate the game. Pretty helpful if someone has to miss a week for any reason. But make sure you aren't going to want to play the game when you hit simulate because it will not let you take it off of simulate.
That's all i have for now.
Edit: The scouting is actually pretty fun. I've had two people i've been set on drafting switch positions on me after the superbowl. One was an 87 corner who switched to receiver and was now an 80. The other was a 72 qb, with 90 speed, 90 TP and 80 plus who switched to wr. Make sure you watch the tweets because those are the only indicator that something will happen. They also give hints at which projected low draft picks are actually going to be good.
Another thing for teams that like to build through the draft and pick up a lot of draft picks. It's pretty hard to scout enough players to know what you are doing on every pick. There will be a lot of picks where it's just a choose one out of a hat situation.
Players no longer want ridiculous contracts. Sam Shields used to want 10 million a year and he is a mid70 corner. I remember Olb's used to want ridiculous money, same with receivers. Now it's tamed way back. Elite players still want huge contracts but you won't be paying out the ass for your nickel corner. It can be a little unrealistic and in your favor at times too, which can be nice. For example, Bj. Raji signed for a little over 2 million a year.
Another thing that got me was their award system. If you go to season awards it'll only show Coach of the Year and Mvp. To see Offensive/defensive rookie of the year, you would have to go to Nfc/Afc. I personally don't like that they did that, but if you want to find the awards that's how you do it.

January 31, 2000
Woodinville firefighters were trained last week in the use of the department's new heat-seeking device for locating victims in smoke-filled areas.
Staff photo by Marshall Haley.
by Marshall Haley, staff reporter
WOODINVILLE--Three Woodinville Fire & Life Safety District (WFLSD) firefighters crawled into a darkened room in single file on their hands and knees. Tethered by holding the leg of the partner in front of them, they turned right inside the door and advanced along the wall, circling the entire room searching for victims. The third man's right hand held the left leg of the second, sweeping his left arm and leg across the middle of the room. In the past, they all would have been searching completely blind.
This time, the leader could "see," thanks to a thermal imaging unit strapped to his helmet. As usual, he was constantly talking, letting the others know what moves he was making. But this time, he could also tell them what he saw. On the fourth wall, he finally found a "victim," a rubber dummy that still emanated a low heat-energy field.
"They couldn't see the 'victim' as they entered the room, because the dummy is as cold as a dead person, but these units can detect a heat range from five to 1,500 degrees Fahrenheit," said Ron Lucier, employee of FLIR Systems, the New Jersey manufacturer of the device.
This was just a training exercise to orient firefighters with an invaluable new work tool that detects infrared light waves, which the human eye cannot. If you saw the scene in the Harrison Ford movie Patriot Games, showing a satellite's nighttime view of commandos "neutralizing" terrorist camp personnel in Algeria, you have a pretty good idea how these units light up a dark room. The more heat, the brighter the image. WFLSD Lt. Tad Wineman demonstrated how his handprint on a wall showed as much light as the hand he'd just removed. The exercise's dark room simulated a smoke-filled room.
Thick smoke prevents firefighters from seeing flames inside a building. Better insulation in modern buildings exacerbates that problem, since less smoke can escape. And no flashlights can penetrate thick smoke. The thermal imaging device enables firefighters to see the heat source emanations through heavy smoke. That means they can more quickly detect a fire's source before it fully engages a building, said Lucier. An engineer and firefighter, he has been on the road since August, training fire departments from Maine to Alaska how to use the units.
The units can also save more firefighter lives, by enabling them to see unusually hot spots in a floor or wall that might be ready to engulf them in flames, alerting them to evacuate. For example, that might have saved four firefighters' lives at Seattle's Pang warehouse fire several years ago.
"For rescues, every substance contains different degrees of heat and shape, so we can see the difference between a wall surface, a floor, and a human body, which is hotter," said Wineman, who organized the training exercise. "We can see structural outlines, like studs in walls. We will save a lot of time in locating victims, because we can even see their body heat through walls. That will save property owners money, because we won't have to break through as many walls to see if anyone is trapped behind them. That will reduce insurance costs, which we all would otherwise end up paying for. Not only will these units help us find people more easily at fire scenes, they can also help us find car wreck victims who might have been thrown from a car.
"I'm a resident of this district, and I appreciate the protection this technology offers the community and to my family. We want to thank the fire commissioners for researching and buying this equipment. They are responsible for giving taxpayers their money's worth, and they definitely did with this purchase. Although each of these units costs about $22,000, they have a life expectancy of 15-20 years. We think they will more than pay for themselves, when you consider the value of a human life."


text: The Fiddler (Darvis Soo Hoo) in "Fiddler on the Roof" is a metaphor of survival, one who's "trying to scratch out a pleasant simple tune without breaking his neck." The people of Anatevka rely on community and tradition to survive, like Nachum the beggar (Wyatt Deshong), Yente the widowed matchmaker (Carolyn Wright) and Motel the poor tailor (Stephen Webb). Similar to the metaphor and Tevye's tale, Maui Academy of Performing Arts' "Fiddler" is pleasant most of the time, but teeters on breaking occasionally.

Jimmie Johnson took the checkered flag at the Daytona 500 Sunday. It was the second time he's won the Super Bowl of stock car racing.
None of Sunday's mishaps approached the 12-car wreck that injured more than two dozen fans Saturday.
"It was freaky. When I looked to my right, the accident happened," Rick Harpster of Orange Park said. "I looked over and I saw a tire fly straight over the fence into the stands, but after that I didn't see anything else."
"That was the worst thing I have seen -- seeing that tire fly into the stands. I knew it was going to be severe," he added.
Daytona International Speedway workers were up until 2 a.m. Sunday repairing the fence that was damaged in that accident.
After the race, Johnson gave a shout-out to the fans and said his thoughts and prayers were with everyone who was injured in the grandstands.
Danica Patrick finished eighth after winning the pole position a week ago.
