Live from CES: Fear and Loathing (Of Giant 3D Fish) in Las Vegas
The Consumer Electronics Show – the ginormous CE tradeshow held in the desert every January – is really hard on the feet. So when I spied some comfy looking couches in the Sony booth, I decided to take a load off.
Sony is one of the biggest exhibitors at the show, and since one of the biggest stories at CES this year is 3DTV, I shouldn't have been surprised by the by the number, diversity and size of the 3DTV models on display. But I was. It was staggering. Sony – along with Samsung, LG, Panasonic, Toshiba and many others – really want the public excited about 3D technology. And at CES, they're willing to do some pretty wacky stuff to get your attention. Which brings me back to the comfy couch.
As I enjoyed a few needed minutes of recovery, I was handed a pair of 3D glasses and told the Sony "show" would begin shortly. Out walks someone (could it be Howard Stringer?) in a NASA-like spacesuit. He takes position behind a DJ booth, and music – pulsating and loud but soothing enough to be used in a car commercial – begins to play. Then, on a screen that is 200 feet wide, I was absolutely bombarded with 3D images: giant blue fish, huge floating Japanese teen pop stars, rocketing jet fighters, and the women's Slovakian volleyball team. Seriously. I sat there thinking, 'who wouldn't want this experience in their living room?'
The problem is – right now, people don't. And we're not surprised and attribute some of this lack of urgency to those darn 3D glasses. While online shopper interest in the 3DTV category increased ten-fold in 2010 (see below), interest in 3D glasses is dramatically lower. At BestBuy.com, for example, the number of unique visitors researching 3D glasses was less than one tenth the number researching 3DTVs.
Exhibit 1: 3DTV Online Interest Growing
So if giant fish and volleyball can't convince you to buy a 3DTV, what will? After talking with some of the biggest 3DTV OEMs yesterday, it looks like two of the most compelling factors will be gaming and home video. The gaming companies at CES are showing a wide range of highly immersive game concepts, and in time 3D polarized glasses may be viewed as a required gaming accessory. Home video is trickier – a poorly shot home video isn't going to look any better in 3D – but user-generated video is a great way to address ongoing concerns about limited 3D content. There are hundreds of 3D video cameras on display at CES, at varying price points, so the message to consumers seems to be: get out there and start filming. I better grab my spacesuit.

The NFL draft is over and 256 young men now know where they'll be attempting to live out their NFL dreams.
Clemson saw five former Tigers picked in last week's NFL draft. The most notable, of course, was wide receiver Sammy Watkins. The Buffalo Bills traded next year's first-round pick to move up five spots to select Watkins.
Injured offensive tackle Brandon Thomas was the last pick in Friday's third round. Bashaud Breeland was the second pick of the fourth round, while Martavis Bryant also went later in the fourth. Surprisingly, at least to Clemson fans, record-setting quarterback Tajh Boyd was the last to go. Boyd was chosen in the sixth round by the New York Jets.
Several other Tigers will attempt to make NFL rosters as undrafted free agents. Darius Robinson, Quandon Christian, Chandler Catanzaro, Spencer Shuey and Tyler Shatley all have signed contracts with NFL teams, per Phil Kornblut of SportsTalk South Carolina.
Now that several Tigers have departed, who will replace those five former Clemson stars that were drafted?

My most recent endeavors have been multifaceted - focusing on floral photography, often with an unconventional approach; working with surreal sets created in my studio; photographing the urban landscape; representing source imagery as pure abstraction. The manipulation of depth of field and of focus in general have become important elements in my work.I love having the opportunity to interpret so much of what life and nature have to offer with my unique psychological perspective.I believe that each viewer contributes a personal sensibility to a work of art to make it his/her own, and that is what makes a carefully chosen work for purchase so special.

During 2003 Mark Latham was elected the leader of the Australian Labor Party. Despite his reputation as a sometimes aggressive and outspoken person, one of his earliest announcements was that he wanted to promote parents reading to their young children each night. Early in 2004 Prime Minister Howard claimed that many parents were transferring their children from state to private secondary schools because the state schools did not promote appropriate values. In his first term of government, Prime Minister Howard explained that he would not fulfil certain election promises because they were 'non-core' promises, and therefore optional, rather than 'core-promises' that were binding.

At the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) last month Eidos-Montréal, a Square Enix studio, announced that the forthcoming Deus Ex: Human Revolution – Director's Cut, would not only launch on Wii U, but also Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 Windows PC and Mac. Claiming to be the 'definitive version' of the critically acclaimed action-orientated role-playing game (RPG) title, it has since been confirmed that Deus Ex: Human Revolution – Director's Cut will be tailored to benefit from each format's unique features.
Deus Ex: Human Revolution – Director's Cut will offer a full slate of second screen features for the Wii U GamePad, Microsoft's SmartGlass, and the PlayStation Vita system that make the touchscreen interface Adam Jensen's primary neural hub enhancement. These features are also said to be available for Windows PC and Mac formats, though no details on how they will be delivered have yet been confirmed.
Furthermore, the Tongs's Rescue mission and the entire Missing Link downloadable content (DLC) chapter have been integrated into the narrative flow of Deus Ex: Human Revolution – Director's Cut. Other core Deus Ex: Human Revolution augmentations include overhauled boss fights, refined balance and combat, improved AI, over eight hours of developer commentary and visual improvements. Deus Ex: Human Revolution – Director's Cut will launch later this year, and Electronic Theatre will keep you updated with all the latest details on the videogame.

SHAPE Diva Dash comes to the aid of flood-ravaged Lyons, CO
Diva Dash women's obstacle run comes to aid flood-ravaged Lyons, CO
Event proceeds will support rebuilding parks and trails, as women take on an exciting and empowering adventure through the community
Lyons, CO – March 11, 2012 - When the SHAPE Diva Dash women's obstacle run returns to Lyons on May 10, 'The community will be ready for the excitement of it's first big event after the flood," says Dave Cosgrove, Director of Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Events for the Town of Lyons. We are very ready to move forward with the rebuilding of our community"
Lyons is a small town you may know for its trails, beer, and festivals. You also probably heard about the 500-year flood that took place last September. "We were decimated by the flood and although we're making progress, there is still a considerable way to go. We are very happy to be working with an event that will bring donations, people, and smiles to our community. "
Organizers of the SHAPE Diva Dash, one of the biggest women's obstacle run series in the country, are based in Boulder CO. 'This is our hometown event and Lyons is like our backyard playground." , said Diva Dash founder, Josh Kravetz. We want to do everything we can to help Lyons recover and restore the parks and trails that Boulder County loves so much." The Adventure Fit crew that produces the event has reconfigured the course from last year and found creative solutions to avoid areas damaged by the flooding. They created a 3-mile loop with space for 12+ obstacles. The school and residential communities were supportive of the event and willing to collaborate with Adventure Fit to create a great route.
Cosgrove believes that the Diva Dash's return to Lyons raises awareness that "Lyons still has huge needs. The Parks and Recreation Department lost all of its equipment when its building was washed away. " We were hit harder than other communities, and now we have fewer resources to deal with our recovery." Lyons Parks and Recreation will directly benefit from proceeds generated from the event. The Lyons Communtiy Foundation and Lyons Volunteers will be staffing booths with information about projects that have been completed and those that are forthcoming giving participants and spectators the opportunity to donate to several other worthy causes still needing funding in Lyons or a chance to sign up to receive update emails or get involved with future flood rehabilitation.
Thousands of women are expected to participate in the SHAPE Diva Dash obstacle run. The event consists of a 5K trail run filled with many fun and adventurous obstacles like an oversized teeter totter, Fireman Pole slide, and Rock Climb walls. Following the run is an after party sponsored by SHAPE Magazine and other partners including Oskar Blues Brewery, which will be the official beer sponsor. Chad Melis, of Oskar Blues is happy to help. "Lyons is a town that is known for our festivals and fun times. The SHAPE Diva Dash coming to Lyons means that we are ready to get this party started again!"
About Lyons and its Parks:
The Town of Lyons has been devastated. In the early morning hours of September 12th, 2013, following several days of record rainfall totaling an astonishing 17 inches rain, the North and South St. Vrain Creeks, the confluence of which occurs in Bohn Park in Lyons, flooded their banks. Stream flows within the Town of Lyons crested above 19,500 CFS easily surpassing the previous record set in 1941. This is incredible considering typical stream flows for the St. Vrain average 67 CFS (USGS Data) for the month of September. With roads and bridges washed out or under water, the 2,050 residents of the Town of Lyons were cut off from the world and isolated on six different 'islands'. The entire Town of Lyons began evacuation on September 13th, 2013 with the assistance of the National Guard. Every household and business was impacted as a result of flood waters, heavy rain, and/or destruction of infrastructure. All services including roads, bridges, access, water distribution, sewer collection, gas, electric, telephone, cell phones, cable, internet, gas stations, groceries, businesses, fire protection, law enforcement, bus service and ambulance were all simultaneously unavailable for a period of time-ranging from six to twelve weeks depending on the extent of the damage and ability to get services back online.
Lyons has been damaged beyond what it can afford. It is estimated that Lyons has sustained damages totaling nearly $50 million, including $5 million in temporary measures and $45 million in permanent work, which does not include insured public buildings or restoring the stream channel. This is staggering for a community that typically operates on less than a $1 million a year budget.
Lyons parks system was absolutely decimated. Nearly all community parks and facilities were affected in some way. It is estimated that of the 80 acres of developed/in-development community parkland, 39 acres were severely impacted. Unfortunately, the 39 acres impacted housed most of Lyons major park facilities. To date pre-flood damages to Lyons Parks and facilities is estimated at approximately $16Million. The following is a synopsis of park damages:
· Of our nearly 5 miles of trails, only 1.2 miles have been unaffected by the flood. Most trails are completely gone or are inaccessible. This includes the destruction of Lyons main arterial trail, the St. Vrain Corridor Trail which served as Lyons major source of connectivity to neighborhoods, schools, parks, businesses and even Boulder County's Picture Rock Trail in Heil Valley Ranch Open Space, Hall Ranch and other future regional connections.
· Infrastructure to parks has been washed away; water, sewer, gas and electric will all have to be replaced to nearly all park facilities.
· Athletic fields are buried under feet of cobble and debris. Irrigation provided to 5 of Lyons 6 athletic fields and most other irrigated portions of park areas is either gone or no longer functional.
· Shelter facilities have been washed away and/or were flooded and no longer useable, including a historic WPA shelter located in Meadow Park.
· Additional park features that are damaged or lost to flood damage include, among others: 14 whitewater features, 2 ponds, 2 pedestrian bridges, volleyball court/ice rink, batting cage, dog park river access, several parking lots, tent and RV camping facilities, picnic areas, 2 playgrounds, community garden, sheds and storage facilities, numerous benches, bleachers, signage and other park amenities that are associated with these park facilities.
FEMA and insurance will not make the Town whole again-we need your help! Staff is working diligently on grants, in-kind donations and various other funding efforts available to us, but additional aid is still drastically needed. Please help us to restore Lyons parks and make Lyons a recreation destination once again. Help us reconstruct Lyons parks bigger and better and continue to offer quality parks and services to the residents and visitors of Lyons. Thanks for your support!

An inspiring story
We received the following message from Donna Loring Thayer, a participant at last year's Boston Diva Dash. It was her first event and it had a big impact on her. Here is what she had to say:
Last year at your "Boston" (Marshfield) location I participated in the DIva Dash. Not only was it my first ever race but it was also my 51st birthday. I started training months before by setting a goal of running for just one minute straight and then eventually made it up to running just under three miles. I struggled a bit the day of the Diva Dash but I finished and had such an amazing sense of pride. I am again registered for the Diva Dash in Marshfield this September. My experience with the fun and positive atmosphere of your event encouraged me to continue and I can now run for an hour straight and have participated in a few 5Ks.
I just wanted to thank you for a great event and to encourage you to post pictures of all kinds of women- older and younger, so that people like me can continue to feel inspired that they too can do this. Thank you!"
Thank YOU Donna! This is why we (Adventure Fit Inc) do what we do. We love to create fun, active experiences, that truly change lives. We're so happy that we were able to make you happy! Congrats to you Donna!

As the recession continues, the business section on Saturdays will feature companies that are hiring. This week, a California-based company looks for employees to install solar panels in the Valley.
Organization: SolarCity.
Location: Headquarters is in suburban San Franciscowith regional offices elsewhere, including Phoenix.
Background: Homeowners who install solar panels must typically purchase the entire system upfront, which can cost in the neighborhood of $20,000.
SolarCity, which opened its Phoenix office about a year ago, offers a plan that allows customers lease a solar-panel system for 15 years.
Opportunities: Solar City plans to hire 15 to 20 installers during the next two months.
"A candidate should show motivation to be part of this growing industry for the long term and should have passion for how solar power impacts the world," a spokeswoman said. "The ideal candidate will have previous solar experience and will know the 2005 NEC Code."
How to apply: Interested candidates should send a resume to Patrick Donner at pdonner@ solarcity.com or send it to jobs@ solarcity.com. Applicants should not apply in person at Solar City's Phoenix office. More info: www.solarcity.com.
Industry scoop: Arizona's construction industry has been hit hard during the recession, leaving many skilled workers without career prospects. The green-technology industry could provide critical retraining for many.
A recent study by the Pew Charitable Trusts showed that between 1998 and 2007, jobs in Arizona's clean-energy economy grew 21.3 percent, to 11,500 from roughly 9,500.
The report said Arizona attracted $31 million in green venture capital over the past three years, with the largest share going toward solar power.

developers with the ability to stream resource intensive
applications, such as 3D games or interactive HD applications, from the
cloud. With Amazon AppStream, content is rendered in the cloud, yet the
end-user is still able to enjoy a responsive, fluid and high-definition
experience on their device. Amazon AppStream allows developers the
flexibility to stream their entire application, or only the parts of
their application that need additional cloud resources. To learn more
about Amazon AppStream, visit http://aws.amazon.com/appstream/.
Developers struggle with the hardware constraints of client devices when
building end user applications. Mass-market devices, such as tablets,
phones and lightweight laptops, are limited in the amount of power, CPU,
and memory available for developers to create their apps and games. As a
result, resource-intensive apps and games can only be accessed from
expensive and high-powered PCs or game consoles. This means developers
must restrain the types of experiences they create (3D or HD graphics,
for example) if they are prioritizing mass-market devices. With Amazon
AppStream, developers can create content that takes advantage of the
vast compute and storage resources available in AWS, and then make their
applications and games available on a full range of devices.
Amazon AppStream offers a number of benefits over running content
locally, including:
"Developers have told us that it is frustrating to build and deliver
high-end applications for mass-market devices given their hardware
constraints. They want to provide spectacular graphics, and responsive,
fluid experiences to the largest possible audience regardless of the
device a person chooses to use," said Mike Frazzini, General Manager of
Amazon Games. "Amazon AppStream frees developers from these limitations
by allowing them to stream their applications to low-end devices as if
these consumers were using high-end devices."
Amazon AppStream includes an SDK that automatically connects streaming
applications running in the cloud to customers' devices, simplifying the
development process. The SDK also connects developers' applications to
the Amazon AppStream STX Protocol, which manages the streaming process.
This protocol monitors network conditions and automatically adapts the
video stream to provide a low-latency and high-resolution experience to
customers. It also minimizes latency during the process of capturing
input from customers, such as mouse clicks or touch gestures, and
sending it back to the application running in the cloud. The result is a
responsive end-user experience for a wide variety of applications and
network conditions.
Over twenty customers including Atomic Fiction, CCP, Digital Extremes,
Embodee, Outerra, Relic, Tok.tv and Vanguard have been using the service
in a private preview and have experienced improved development time and
ability to stream to devices that had previously been out of reach.
CCP Games produces multi-player games including the popular EVE Online.
"We've had many (wild) dreams about what the amazing character creation
experience from EVE Online could become on a high-res touch device,"
said Halldor Fannar, CTO of CCP Games. "Amazon AppStream is allowing us
to realize those dreams, enabling us to experiment and better understand
the opportunity with only a minor up-front investment. There is a very
exciting future here."
Outerra makes a 3D planetary rendering engine beginning with images from
space down to the surface. "Our rendering technology quite heavily
relies on features and power of modern high performance graphics
processing units. As such, it would be impossible to run it directly on
most of the existing mobile devices," said Brano Kemen, CEO of Outerra.
"Amazon AppStream greatly enlarges our potential user base by allowing
us to make the technology accessible through millions of these devices,
while maintaining a uniform and scalable environment on the server side."
During limited preview, Amazon AppStream will be available in the
US-East Region on the new Amazon EC2 G2 instance, allowing developers to
leverage an extremely powerful GPU in their applications. In the coming
months, additional regions and instance types will be available for
Amazon AppStream applications. Amazon AppStream delivers a video stream
up to 720p and 30 frames per second, and can run on connections of at
least 3Mbps. Amazon AppStream supports streaming applications from
Windows Server to multiple client platforms, including Windows, iOS,
FireOS and Android. To learn more and sign up for the limited preview of
Amazon AppStream, visit http://aws.amazon.com/appstream/.

1. The year the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum got a new home
Before working at Alive, I had no idea Columbus was home to the largest cartoon library in the world. I got to tour the archives and gallery floor before the museum's new home in Sullivant Hall was even open. That place is a treasure trove of interesting and important pieces of art. Being able to tour it with its curators before it opened was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
2. The year Junctionview closed
After nearly 10 years as one of the city's most active artistic hubs, Junctionview finally closed in April 2013. Sure, the tenants and the city knew of its eventual fate, but I was still sad to see it go. I was able to walk the halls one last time as they prepared for Agora X and snapped this photo of some of the artists making their way down the halls to hang prints for the studio's final show.
3. The year Nina did Columbus
2013 was Nina's year, no doubt about it. She did a ridiculous number of shows, put out multiple music videos, threw several charity fundraisers and headlined High Ball Halloween. If you didn't know about Nina before this year, I bet you do now. Nina's other identity, Andrew Levitt, was even chosen as one of our People to Watch because of his activism. Getting to meet and photograph both Nina and Andrew has given me a glimpse of their lives both on and off stage, a rare treat for anyone.
4. The year I met Jeff Smith
I think this was maybe the most enviable thing I was able to do this year. Jeff Smith is an icon in comics, and when we were able to go into his personal studio and take photos of him, I had at least three friends freak out. But Jeff was so nice and mellow that I kind of forgot I was talking to a legend.
5. The year Big Fun came back to Columbus
Jason and Trinity Williams, with the help of Steve Presser, brought back Big Fun Toy Store, and put it in the heart of the Short North in May. Since they've opened, they've frequently lent us toys to use in our photos. Keep that in mind the next time you see a toy in our magazine and start to covet it.
6. The year I got paid to go to Star Base Columbus
I was born and raised in Columbus and am a sci-fi fan, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that I already knew about and had visited Star Base Columbus on multiple occasions. But this time was special; I was getting paid to be there. Looking back, it still feels insane. Especially during the five minutes Jackie Mantey was kindly taking a picture of me in Star Base's Captain Kirk Chair.
7. The year I met Kassie Haji
Kassie Haji taught me a lot of things I didn't expect to learn from a photo assignment. After spending hours with her at school, home and even on the bus for half of her four-hour daily commute, I felt like I got to know Kassie, even if just a little. Her dedication to her family and her craft is inspiring. I don't know many people who would travel by bus that long each day to pursue their dream and maintain their lifestyle at home with their family.
8. The year I was in a zombie movie
Early in the year, we interviewed Max Groah, director of "Bong of the Living Dead," for our Q&A feature. When we first met, he mentioned that he was looking for extras when they were filming over the summer. I happily volunteered. Months later, there I was, made up like a zombie photographer, running toward a house with clumsy legs akimbo.
9. The year Tacocat opened
After moving out of Junctionview, a few of the regular artists started up a new, smaller gallery in Grandview just a rock's throw away. When I took this, I was finishing up photos of the new space before their first show. It was the end of the day and they had brought another watermelon — apparently, there were a lot of them — to eat. I snapped this photo and then sat down and enjoyed the watermelon with them. I think it was a Friday too — not a bad way to start a weekend.
10. The year I saw the Polaroid Wall at the Wex
The Wex has a wealth of art within its walls, but there are parts of the center the general public doesn't get to see. The Polaroid wall is one of those hidden gems. It has photos of resident artists, directors and more dating back to 1999. They are still updating it too, so seeing it again never gets old.
11. The year Long Street Collective opened
This place is an amazing amalgamation of tattoo shop and gallery, littered with Victorian-inspired curiosities. Their collection of the beautiful and bizarre made this location one of my favorites to shoot this year. I also see myself getting some ink there in the near future.

The derivative function will be used to measure slope at the given point. Once we have the slope we can use the point-slope formula to find the equation of the tangent line.
The derivative is

Objective: The aim of this study was to report the effects of denosumab on radius cortical and trabecular bone density, mass, and strength, and wrist fracture incidence in the FREEDOM (Fracture REduction Evaluation of Denosumab in Osteoporosis every 6 Months) study.
Methods: In the FREEDOM study, postmenopausal women with osteoporosis (N = 7,808) received placebo or 60 mg of denosumab every 6 months for 36 months. Radius bone mineral density (BMD), bone mineral content, and strength (polar moment of inertia) were evaluated in two prespecified substudies using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (placebo, n = 209; denosumab, n = 232) or quantitative CT (placebo, n = 48; denosumab, n = 62). Prespecified analysis assessed wrist fracture incidence in all FREEDOM participants (placebo, N = 3,906; denosumab, N = 3,902), and post hoc subgroup analyses evaluated those with higher fracture risk (baseline femoral neck T-score ≤−2.5; placebo, N = 1,406; denosumab, N = 1,384).
Results: Denosumab significantly increased areal BMD (assessed by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry) and volumetric BMD, bone mineral content, and polar moment of inertia (assessed by quantitative CT), compared with placebo, in radius cortical and trabecular bone at all time points evaluated (all P < 0.05). Wrist fracture incidence was 2.9% for placebo and 2.5% for denosumab (relative risk reduction, 16%; P = 0.21) on month 36. Participants with a femoral neck T-score of −2.5 or lower were at increased risk for wrist fracture, and denosumab significantly reduced wrist fracture incidence compared with placebo (placebo, 4.0%; denosumab, 2.4%; relative risk reduction, 40%; absolute risk reduction, 1.6%; P = 0.03).
Conclusions: Denosumab significantly improves radius bone density, mass, and strength compared with placebo. In higher-risk women, denosumab significantly reduces wrist fracture risk.

*a portrait of my child, once a week, every week, in 2013
Back in Perth for a long stay this time. Basking in the autumn light and right into the sidewalk chalk.
Oh, I'm only 30 weeks behind here. No big deal…!! Despite not having posted anything for so long, I've still been diligent in taking the photos and I'm hoping that I can catch up and post them all before year end. If for no other reason than to satisfy that blogger/photographer OCD. Everything up and in it's place! I did decide to be a little kind to myself however, and limit the project to just Riley. Baby has her own 365 going on over on Instagram, and I really do think that is enough for now
Christmas, here we come!
So here we are at 38 weeks! Full term, so they say. That came around in what seems like the blink of an eye.
It's been a completely different pregnancy from the first time around – both in terms of how my body has handled it and my entire surroundings. Living out of a suitcase with a toddler in tow while lugging around a pregnant belly has been a little cumbersome, to say the least. Yet by choosing to do it this way has meant that I've been able to surround myself with family, to be here for the birth of my little nephew and just soak in the peace that is Perth.
I've been feeling the need for a quiet space as this pregnancy draws to an end. I've had to make myself say no to a few social engagements, that have been non-stop since touching down. That's a hard thing for me to do, to say no, but the pull to just cocoon myself a bit and just focus inward has been strong. The opposite of nesting, perhaps? I am still waiting for that instinct to kick in!

Main Forums > Someone I Care About Has HIV
You are my hero
Hi allI knew this web 3 months ago when I was really afraid of exposure by HIV.First I only read forum about am I infected? From this forum I got a lot of information, and I knew that I had zero risk HIV since I always use condom for penetration.And then I started to read more about other forum like just tested poz, living with poz, and others.I'm really ashame with my self when I read all the posting. I'm healthy but you guys have more better spirit to fight in life rather than my self. I always complaining about small problem that happened to me. If I compare my problem with your problem, mine is just nothing. You guys seem happier, and know the purpose of this life rather than me.I learn a lot from you guys, I learn how to thankfull for what God has given for me.I just want to say thank you everything. ...keep fighting and you guys are my hero.
youhero, thank you and you're welcome as well.However, I am moving your thread out of the Living With forum to the Someone I Care About forum as that is the most appropriate place for it. Hiv negative people who post here are restricted to posting in three forums - Am I Infected?, Off Topic and Someone I Care About. All the other forums are meant for hiv positive people onlyBecause you're not asking questions about hiv transmission or testing, and because your topic has to do with hiv (Off Topic is only for subjects that have nothing to do with hiv), Someone I Care About forum seems to be the only place for it. Again, thank you for your kind words. I'm glad you've learned more about hiv while reading these forums. After all, that's what we're here for. Ann
Hi youhero! I am not infected as well but my best friend has it. I am close with her so i was also wondering before if i was infected. But after my tests, i was reassured. I was happy for myself but sad with the situation of my friend. I want to help her with all i can. That's why i am here on this forum to be able to understand her pain and sufferings.

May I quote you?
Scanning through the archives of columns I've penned in the last year, I failed to find inspiration in a single word I've written. Rather than be depressed, I decided to turn to others for pithy comments and have (blind, unfounded) faith that I may say something worth remembering as 2012 unfolds. Read more

The 2013 Concert Choir Graduation Concert on May 31 evolved into an alumni reunion event when dozens of choir and music alumni joined parents, faculty and staff for a final performance with conductor Jeordano "Pete" Martinez, now professor of music emeritus.
A Facebook page called "Pete is retiring" quickly grew to more than 250 members, who shared plans to attend the concert and also their favorite quotes from Martinez. On the night of the concert, more than 60 alumni surprised Martinez by joining in for the choir's final performance of "River in Judea," which over the years became the choir's signature finale.
"It started in the late 1990s to sing that piece, always with a male and female soloist," says Ross Berkley '05, who along with Michael Sunblad '03 helped recruit alumni for the concert. "The lyrics talk about meeting again in the not-too-distant future, so it was a perfect ending to this occasion."
Berkley points out that Martinez engaged students at all levels of music education. "He was not only the Concert Choir conductor, but he influenced a whole generation of music professors, professional conductors, theatre performers and music teachers. He made a significant mark on North Central."
Among those attending was Kristin Thiemke '90 Cushing, one of Martinez' first choir members in 1986. Her feelings were universal among attendees. "It wasn't really a feeling of wanting to be there, it was more a feeling of NEEDING to be there," she says about the graduation concert. "When I came to North Central, there was no instrumental music program so I took a risk and joined choir, even though I had never sung in a choir before. And there was Pete—proclaiming enthusiastically that it was his freshman year, too. Pete's big personality made his teaching, directing, correcting and teasing unique. He pulled the best out of each and every person in the room. What an amazing legacy!"
Martinez thanked his supporters: "I was completely taken by surprise and blown away to see so many of you! I have been privileged indeed to have had you all in my life."

Proportion of Married Americans Lower Than Ever
RUSH: This is Medical News Today: "The proportion of American adults who are married today is the lowest ever, according to a new report published by Pew Research. Not only is marriage becoming progressively avoided, the authors added, but also people are waiting longer to tie the traditional knot. The average age for getting married is now 26.5 for females and 28.7 for males. The researchers ... who gathered data from the US Census, explained that if trends continue along their recent pattern, it will be very few years before the percentage of married adults is lower than single ones. The institution of marriage is gradually giving way to: Cohabitation. Single-person households. One-parent families (single parenthood). Young adults continuing to stay with their parents for longer" due to the economy.
Now, this is really not so much about marriage. It's the result of marriage that this is about. This is about families. What this means is... Look at these numbers: Fifty-one percent of adults are married today. Fifty-two years ago the number was 72%. Seventy-two percent of adults were married 50 years ago; today it's just 51%. So we have 21% fewer people married. What does that mean? We have 21% less intact, mother-father, two-parent families than we had 50 years ago.
And families are kind of like our form of government: Neither is perfect, but they are the best proven method. Now, I wonder if anybody (besides me, El Rushbo) will make the connection to the increase in gangs, dropout rates, unemployment, increased dependency on government to the dramatic decrease in families. The government is taking over for one of the parents, happily so! The Democrat led government is taking over. The Democrat led government is becoming the family. Three meals at school all year, breakfast, lunch, and dinner? So when summertime comes, "Well, where they gonna eat?" You gotta keep the schools open to feed them, creating more dependency on government. Fifty years of socialism, feminazi-ism, the American family's breaking up.
This explains a lot, folks.
Christine O'Donnell Endorses Romney
RUSH: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I saw that, Christine O'Donnell last night on Hannity endorsed Romney and said that the Tea Party was oriented toward Romney. I'm sorry, I don't think that's accurate. I don't think that's true. And I think, if I had to hazard a guess -- people are asking me this folks, so I gotta hazard a guess here, an answer -- but Christine O'Donnell, who largely maligned her? That's too strong a word. Who was it that said they weren't gonna help, who was it that said she had no business being the nominee? It was the Republican establishment, right? All right.
So she comes out now and endorses Romney, obviously attempting to ingratiate herself with the Republican establishment. I mean, that seems obvious to me. I could be wrong, of course. And I'm not trying to be disparaging of Christine O'Donnell. The two most vocal anti-O'Donnell people were Karl Rove and Mike Murphy, the political consultant. Murphy, (impression) "Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm sitting here drinking my cocktail, yeah, I'm one of these consultants, yeah, yeah, okay, you run our campaign, then, if she's this magic, if you think she can win -- she can't -- you run her campaign." But now that Christine O'Donnell has endorsed Romney, how does it make those guys feel? Are they happy to have her on their team? Think so? Well, but she might bring some Tea Party votes. Probably not happy about it. But, anyway, it is what it is. People are asking me, "Did you see it?" I saw it.
Nothing is Real: Home Sales Overcounted for Years
RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, data on sales of previously owned homes from 2007 through October this year were made up by a factor of two. They double counted. Existing home sales will be revised down from 2007 to the present. "The National Association of Realtors said a benchmarking exercise had revealed that some properties were listed more than once, and in some instances, new home sales were also captured." Speaking of things being much worse than we thought, it turns out that the realtors have been exaggerating the number of house sales since 2007, due to double counting.
Now, why would they have done that? When I heard this news, and I realized that it's the National Association of Realtors, not the government, with these numbers. The National Association of Realtors, what could they possibly gain from telling the public that housing sales were higher than they actually were? The only thing I can think of is trying to save the market in terms of a perception. We were heading and trending to homes being worth less than what was owed on them, the traditional underwater status. They knew how bad it was and in an attempt to keep it from getting worse, exaggerated the health of the industry.
Now, nowhere in this story, and this is Reuters -- and, by the way, Reuters is essentially unfazed as you read this. No big deal to them. I've read a number of other stories about this, and I can't find the number that will be revised, how far down. All I know is, double counting. We're assuming here that the sales of existing homes number was a multiple of two. Now, I remember, we reported on this program back in February that the National Association of Realtors had been accused of over-counting home sales by as much as 20% and at the time the realtor scoffed at that whole thing but now it looks like that they're gonna have to come out and admit it. But what this means -- remember I said throughout this year and even late last year, as the pension numbers became available, unfunded liabilities, pensions. I said, "Folks, nothing's real."
Nothing's real. Everybody has what they have based on going into incalculable debt to have it, be it states or individuals. Nothing's real. Nothing's real. If this number can be so easily fudged -- and where is the journalist community, where's the curiosity here? Where's somebody hearing the numbers, "Well, maybe we're not gonna accept what you say, let's dig deep and find it." There wasn't any. There's no curiosity about the truth of the unemployment numbers. None. So how much other stuff out there is not real? How much else is being faked? How many other things are we being lied to about? The best guess is that we're being lied to far more than we're being told the truth, particularly when it comes to the state, the status of the economy. And in large part, certain sectors of the economy, the American people, are just in denial about all this. And it's true. A lot of people don't want to face just how bad things are. But most people can't escape it.
A Clarification for Jon Meacham
RUSH: By the way, I meant to get to this yesterday and it got buried under a bunch of stacks. On Monday of this week we played a sound bite from one of the Sunday shows, Jon Meacham who used to run Newsweek and is now at Random House, and we played the sound bite in which it sounded to me like Meacham was suggesting that the American people simply aren't smart enough to keep up with Obama. And Meacham called H.R. and said, (paraphrasing) "You got it wrong, and we demand a correction." And I said, "I don't have a correction, but I'll clarify, I'll read what Meacham wrote." He said, "I'm writing because Limbaugh misunderstood something I said." I guess he was on Scarborough's Monday morning show.
He said, "When I said the country wasn't commensurate with Obama's gifts, I was talking about how Obama views the world, not how the world really is. It was in fact other outside outlets that picked up the remarks, interpreted them to be an unflattering take on what I think the president's mind-set may be in the storm of the job. I'm writing because I'd appreciate some kind of clarification just for the record." So Meacham is saying that when he wrote that the country wasn't commensurate with Obama's gifts, he was unflattering the president, being unflattering. And then he said it's his thinking the system, and really the country is not commensurate with his gifts. (paraphrasing) "What I meant to say was that Obama thinks the country is not commensurate with his gifts."
Well, regardless, I remember praising Meacham. I said, "Look, if you want to get rid of the guy, if you want somebody else to be the Democrat nominee, this is how you do it. He's a narcissist. You tell him that he's bigger than the country, far more talented than what this job is. This job is chump change compared to his abilities and his talents and so forth."
