AIDS Issues Update Blog
Dispatches from the fight against homelessness and AIDS
Posted by Tim Murphy , August 15, 2013
Rep. Nadler receives the Compassion in Public Service award from Harlem United SVP Douglas Berman.
Yesterday morning, about 100 folks who work in the field of healthcare for the homeless here in NYC met for a special breakfast in a downtown federal office building. The event? The sixth annual National Health Care for the Homeless Day, which was started in 2008 by the National Health Care for the Homeless Council as a part of National Health Centers Week. This event is a chance for agencies that work in this realm, such as Housing Works, Harlem United and HELP/PSI, to honor a staffer who goes the extra mile when it comes to providing housing and other supportive services to homeless clients. These are the day's "Sheroes & Heroes." Housing Works' awardee was clinic manager Debora Carrero, Harlem United's was medical assistant Rahima Hannan, and HELP/PSI's were Juan Rodriguez, Jose Vazquez and Natacha Contreras.
The overall goal of the event is for those who work in this community to empower one another in their shared mission to end homelessness and ensure access to quality health care for all.
This year, the event's capstone Compassion in Public Service Award went to U.S. Congressman from NY Jerrold Nadler. Housing Works' national advocacy head Christine Campbell was instrumental in lining up Nadler for the award. "He's been a strong supporter of continued access to housing dollars in New York City," said Andrew Leonard, research and policy analyst at Harlem United, "particularly around making sure that at very least we don't cut back on Section 8 funding. He also recognizes the important of HOPWA funding," he said, referring to the federal program Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS. HOPWA, noted Leonard, has thankfully received a funding boost to help reduce some of the damage of budget-slashing sequestration in U.S. Congress, which has badly hurt many other social programs.
Nadler was presented his award by Harlem United senior vice-president for policy Douglas Berman.
The topics honored at yesterday's breakfast are particularly important, noted Leonard, at this moment when New York City has a record high rate of homelessness, with over 57,000 New Yorkers in shelters or on the streets and 21,000 children in shelters, according to the Coalition for the Homeless. Leonard said he thought that the Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as "ObamaCare," would be able to get more homeless and low-income people covered by healthcare. It will both streamline the enrollment process, he said, and will raise the income limit to get Medicaid from about $11,500 a year to about $15,000. According to Leonard, that seemingly modest income increase can potentially get 510,000 more people in New York State covered by Medicaid.blog comments powered by Disqus

Healthier Green Bean Casserole
Green bean casserole has a pedigree. It was invented by Campbell Soup Company in 1955 to prompt happy housewives to buy more cream of mushroom soup, it's a piece of American marketing history. A culinary icon, but one, like many from its era, that falls squarely in our makeover sweet-spot. Download a FREE Healthy Casserole Recipe Cookbook!

EatingWell Green Bean Casserole
Traditionally made with butter, canned soup and canned French-fried onions, this classic is high in calories, sodium and saturated fat. We get an equally delicious result by using fresh mushrooms, low-fat milk and lightly pan-fried sweet onions coated with garlic-seasoned flour. When you taste our version, we're sure you'll agree this is one culinary icon that was ready for a re-invention.
How We Made It Healthier
- We skip the canned mushroom soup (which has plenty of sodium) and instead make our own creamy sauce.
- We use frozen green beans instead of fresh - this keeps it easy, but still healthy. Frozen beans are a great option— they're picked at the peak of ripeness when they have plenty of nutrients then frozen right away.
- To reduce sodium we call for sherry in this recipe- but don't use cooking sherry as it has added sodium.
- Buttermilk powder is one of the "secret" ingredients that makes this so "rich" tasting but still healthy. It adds depth of flavor but not a lot of calories or fat. Look for it in the baking section of your supermarket.

Mumbai: A poster of Vikram Bhatt's upcoming film 'Hate Story' has been released and this poster has really created super buzz in the media and among the masses since the poster is quite hot which reveals the bare back of a super sexy gal. The naked back of the girl has words written on it along with a tattoo and a gun placed. The controversial poster is getting the people curious about the identity of the mysterious lass. The makers of the film are hiding the identity but it has been learnt that she is a model. So, guys, you may make your guesses who this sexy kitten is from the world of modelling?
Bollywood cinema is on way to break the barriers now. There are few filmmakers who still continue with the time and tested formulas to make movies on but there are certain filmmakers in the industry who try to do something different and novel, Vikram Bhatt is among those fewer filmmakers. He is famous for experiments – sometimes his experiments runs successfully and others they fall flat. But the courageous filmmaker keeps going on with his philosophy. This time around again, he is coming up with something novel with Hate Story that is directed by Vivek Agnihotri.
People are becoming super curious now to know about the identity of the model and they really want the filmmaker to let them know who she is? But at the makers' end, there is a big hush. Well, this silence is the publicity gimmick which they are using to raise the curiosity level for the film. So, guys wait until the identity of the sexy girl is revealed. If any update on this sexy lass or the film comes up, it will be dished out at this space for your knowledge. Let's hope for the success of this experiment of Vikram Bhatt.

I'm sure that was my friend Kevin. I think he's a member on this site. He's has a short ram intake I sold him from my rex, Kartboy short shifter, and a factory boost gauge. I love that thing, it's super fun.Originally posted by tubbytreats

Saw a Black 04 Forrester XT today heading south on US-48 at the intersection of E Stroop. Looked cool, and was lined up with a Grand Prix. (I didn't get a chance to see who won that one!)
Any other Forrester XT sightings? What about personal experiences with how fast they are?
On a side note also, I checked out your clothing site. It's a great site, and those are some creative shirts. I directed Kevin with the XT, and my friend Jason with the black wrx wagon to your site as well since they are both Christians.
p.s. Since I don't really have any performance mods yet, his XT would walk all over me. It feels so fast....torque = good

Leadership Message WELCOME TO OUR REVIEW OF THE 2012-13 SEASON OF SOUTH DAKOTA ATHLETICS. Dear Coyote Nation, After spending the last six years helping guide this program through the Division I transition and building a solid foundation, I couldn't be more excited to take on the upcoming year as your Athletic Director. The 2012-13 season was our first as a full NCAA Division I member. All the hard work of our coaches, staff and student-athletes paid off with David Herbster a year filled with incredible accomplishments and Director of Athletics achievements. Our relationships on campus, in the community and with our corporate partners continue to be the backbone of support we need to move forward. I take a great deal of pride in all of our accomplishments and take my duties and responsibilities personally. I have watched this department and campus grow into a Division I institution filled with promise and extraordinary people. We have the privilege of providing opportunities to young men and women to play a game, get an education and prepare them to be outstanding citizens and leaders in their communities. Their accomplishments this past year break down many of the negative stereotypes of athletes on college campuses. For starters, our student-athletes had a cumulative team GPA of 3.3. We had a scholar-athlete of the year, three NCAA post-graduate scholars, three academic All-Americans, 71 distinguished scholars, 120 academic all-league honorees and 132 placed on the winter/spring Summit League honor roll. To top it off, senior track athlete Alexa Duling won the NCAA Walter Byers Award which is considered to be the NCAA's highest academic award and awarded to one male and one female student-athlete from all the NCAA's 1,300 member institutions.
had 93 all-conference performers, four All-Americans and Bethany Buell became USD and the state of South Dakota's first Division I national champion. In our first full year of conference and NCAA championship participation, we finished third in the Summit League Commissioner's Cup and moved up 60 spots to 173 in the Learfield Sports Director's Cup standings – which ranks the competitive performance of all Division I schools. As we continue progress in bringing to reality our Athletic Facility Master Plan that will add a basketball/volleyball arena, outdoor track and soccer complex, and practice football fields, it is vital that annual revenue streams continue to grow. Our Howling Pack numbers saw an increase for the seventh consecutive year, season tickets in football and basketball continue to grow, and Coyote Sports Properties has increased our corporate support yet again. We added another radio station to the Coyote Sports Network bringing our total to eight, and saw the introduction of the Coaches Corner radio show and the Coyote Report TV show. We have entered Division I on solid footing and have built a foundation that will sustain long-term growth. It is never easy, and your continued support is critical to ensuring we can achieve our mission of cultivating academic and athletic excellence in our student-athletes. Pride in being a Coyote is something that should be worn across your chest whether you are at work, in the stands, in the classroom or in competition. Whether you join the Howling Pack, buy a game ticket, or don the Vermillion & White…be heard, be visible and find a way to make a difference. Go Yotes! David Herbster
The Coyotes shined just as bright in competition this year. Men's indoor track & field won our first Summit League conference championship and Dave Gottsleben was named Coach of the Year. We finished with six athletes earning Most Valuable Player or Most Outstanding Performer in conference or championship play. We
Student-Athlete Academic Achievements South Dakota senior track and field athlete Alexa Duling received the 2013 Walter Byers Postgraduate Scholarship from the NCAA. The award is given to one female and one male athlete each year. To be eligible for the honor, the nominee must have attained an undergraduate GPA of at least 3.5, competed on a varsity team at an NCAA member school, shown superior character and leadership, and demonstrated that participation in athletics and community service positively influenced the recipient's personal and intellectual development. Duling (Gregory, S.D.) finished both her baccalaureate and MBA in just five years as a Coyote, while maintaining a 4.0 GPA. She was also named to the Capital One All-America track & field/cross country first team by CoSIDA in 2013. Duling plans to go to medical school in Arizona. On the track, Duling holds individual school records in the indoor 60 meter hurdles (8.71) and the outdoor 400 meter hurdles (57.40). She was also a member of two record-setting relay teams as part of the outdoor sprint medley (3:53.25) and 4x200 (1:38.93) relays. She earned second-team All-America honors in 2012 after placing 12th in the 400 meter hurdles, where she also qualified for the Olympic Trials. At the outdoor conference meet in May, Duling won the 400m hurdles in a league-record time of 58.59. Duling was named the 2011 Great West Conference Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year. In her career, she earned eight individual conference titles.
South Dakota junior cross country and track athlete Jeff Mettler was named Summit League Scholar Athlete of the Year as selected by the league's faculty athletic representatives. The award is the most prestigious individual honor given by the league. Mettler (Eureka, S.D.) carries a perfect 4.0 GPA as a kinesiology and sports science major. He was also named to the CoSIDA Academic AllAmerican second team this spring. Mettler is also a year round Academic All-Summit League honoree, earning the honor in cross country, indoor, and outdoor track. Mettler's athletic accomplishments are no less impressive. On the cross country course, Mettler had two individual wins in 2012. He also finished runner-up at the Summit League Championship for first-team All-Summit League honors. On the track, Mettler was named the Summit League Indoor Track Championship MVP after winning the 3,000m (8:18.69), mile (4:11.18), and finishing third in the 5,000m (14:40.28) at the meet. Outdoors, Mettler broke his own 3,000m steeplechase record yet again at the Drake Relays (8:51.99). He successfully defended his steeplechase title at the Summit League Outdoor Championships, while also placing fourth in the 1500m at the meet. Mettler finished off an impressive year with a trip to the NCAA West Preliminaries. In addition to his work on the track and in the classroom, Mettler serves as president of USD's Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) and has volunteered with the community engagement group SERVE.
South Dakota 2012-13 All-Americans South Dakota junior track and field athlete Bethany (Buell) Firsick became the first DI National Champion in school history at the NCAA Outdoor Track Championships in June. Despite her struggle with a torn ligament in her shoulder throughout the outdoor season, she managed to clear 14-7.25 on her last jump at the meet.
South Dakota junior track and field athlete Megan Glisar was one of three All-Americans that led the women's track and field team to an 18th-place finish at the NCAA Championships in June. Glisar (Sergeant Bluff, Iowa) had a sixth-place finish in the high jump at the outdoor meet.
Firsick (St. Louis, Mo.) adds the national title to her already lengthy list of accomplishments. Firsick was named the Summit League Outdoor Field Athlete of the Year in both 2012 and 2013. She was named the Summit League Athlete of the Month for May and June in addition to being Athlete of the Week four different times throughout the year. Firsick has earned four All-America honors and is a five-time conference champion, including her win at the Summit League Indoor Championships earlier this year. It is no surprise that she is also the school record holder for both the indoor (14-5.5) and outdoor (14-7.5) pole vault. In the classroom, Firsick carries a near-perfect GPA. She was named to the Capital One All-America track & field/cross country first team by CoSIDA, joining teammate Alexa Duling. South Dakota was the only school other than Oregon to have two or more athletes on the first team. Firsick was also named Scholar Field Athlete of the Year by USFTCCCA. During indoor track, she placed on the Academic All-Summit League team.
A past NAIA National Champion, Glisar was this year's Summit League indoor and outdoor champion in addition to setting school records in the event. She finished off her season by competing at the USA Champsionship in June.
South Dakota sohphomore track and field athlete Emily Grove was another one of three all-Americans that led the women's track and field team to an 18th-place finish at the NCAA Championships in June. For the second year in a row, Grove (Pontiac, Ill.) took home first team AllAmerica honors with her seventh-place finish in the pole vault at the outdoor meet. Grove also earned Academic All-Summit League honors for outdoor track after capturing pole vault titles at five different meets this outdoor season.

Coyotes in the Community "Girls on the Run"
Summit League Food Fight
In 2012, the Coyote women's track and field team teamed up with Sioux Falls YWCA for the third straight year to put on the "Girls on the Run" program in Vermillion. Athletes serve as mentors for the younger girls, helping them learn about being active as part of a healthy lifestyle. At the end of the program, the Coyotes run alongside the younger girls during a 5 kilometer race.
As part of a Summit League competition against all nine member institutions, South Dakota asked fans to bring non-perishable food items or make a monetary donation at five home athletic events. Student-athletes were stationed by shopping carts to encourage monetary donations. The athletic department also reached out to Vermillion Middle School, providing a pizza party to the three classes that collected the most food items. The proceeds raised from the food fight were distributed to the Vermillion Food Pantry.
Special Olympics A group of Coyotes met twice a week throughout the spring semester to volunteer with Special Olympics in Vermillion. The student-athletes played basketball with the kids every Thursday morning and Friday afternoon.
SAAC Field Day At the 2013 Coyote Field Day in April, a total of 42 elementary school students enjoyed games and activities prepared by SAAC members. The kids enjoyed activities ranging from "Punt, Pass and Kick" with the football team to dodgeball with the men's and women's basketball teams to kickball with the women's soccer team.
'Mitten Toss' Winter Clothing Drive Coyote athletes worked with Vermillion Public Schools to collect hats, mittens, scarves, and coats. A "mitten toss" was also orchestrated at half-time of a men's basketball game for additional donations. Overall, 200 items were donated to the Pine Ridge Reservation.
Budget Division I-level coaching, staffing, scholarships, services and travel requires a significant investment.

The commitment to Division I required an upgrade in our scholarship offerings throughout our 17 sports. USD put together a plan to increase the annual scholarship offerings from 105 to 186 while maintaining Title IX compliance. This increase in scholarship offerings has created the need to generate significantly more revenue. Two areas were identified to be the vehicles to assist in financially funding the increased scholarship offerings – the annual fund and major gifts. The Howling Pack serves as the annual fund and Great Expectations serves as the major gift component of the equation. The Great Expectations scholarship campaign is designed to fill the immediate needs of Division I until our annual fundraising, The Howling Pack, matures to fund the increased expenses of Division I.

Blueboy is a man of few words (unless he's rapping) and a lot of action.
Blueboy keeps it real at all times and that's the only type of people he will align himself with.
Blueboy is THA REALEST lyricist u never heard but is waiting to hear, promise.
Blueboy's style is best described as a lyrical storyteller that invokes thought and incites crowds with substance filled songs that deal with real life emotions, thoughts, and dreams.
Blueboy first started rapping during the summer break between 8th and 9th grade after breaking his leg and not knowing if he was going to be able to play football anymore.
Blueboy – "See About It"
Blueboy was born in Hiram Clarke (Houston,TX) in Oct.'82 where he was the youngest of 5 and lived for 8 years but after personal hardship, he moved to Galveston,TX in Dec.'90.
After graduating from Ball High School in 2001, Blueboy moved back toHoustonand enrolled at Texas Southern University; where he majored in Electronic Engineering from 2001-2004. While attending school, his girlfriend at the time, became pregnant with their beautiful daughter. Suddenly, school was pushed to the side in favor of finding a job to support her.
Working a regular job was fine for the time but Blueboy wanted and still wants so much more for himself and his daughter. The living check to check thing wasn't cutting it anymore so shortly after she was born in '04, Blueboy started back writing and recording new songs with a more defined sense of direction and greater desire to become the greatest rapper ever. And before it's all said and done Blueboy will be.
Blueboy's mottos are: "Death before Dishonor and Success Without Struggle, Is Not Success".

The British Chambers of Commerce has called for urgent action to kickstart transport projects that could boost the economy by billions of pounds.
The body's report on transport priorities, which tracks progress on 13 top projects, argues that £30bn of spending on plans ranging from Crossrail to the Forth replacement bridge would generate £86bn for the economy. However, the BCC argues that successive governments have damaged business by being slow to invest.
Adam Marshall, the BCC's director of policy, said: "Transport infrastructure is critical to business growth but progress on the investment promised by successive governments continues to be too slow. Whenever key decisions to improve capacity on the country's rail, road and air networks are delayed, our businesses and economy are missing out.
"We need bold action from the government to improve the UK's transport infrastructure. This kind of investment is insulated from global uncertainty, and it creates short-term confidence, jobs in the medium term, and improves the UK's competitiveness in the long term.
"Ministers must use all the powers at their disposal to kickstart these projects. In some cases, that will mean using the government's balance sheet to unlock private funding, and in others, it will mean using planning powers to overcome objectives and speed the process of construction."
The transport minister Norman Baker countered that the government was embarking on a "massive programme of investment – the biggest since the 19th century". He said: "Making sure that the country has the transport network it needs to deliver economic growth is a top priority for us. That is why – despite the economic challenges we face – we have committed to building High Speed 2, a hugely ambitious infrastructure project which will support and sustain long term growth across the whole country."
Rachel Reeves, shadow chief secretary to the Treasury, argued: "[The BCC] report is further evidence of the government's failure to deliver the infrastructure investment we need to create jobs and growth and strengthen our economy for the future. This dithering, delay and lack of leadership in the Treasury has led to widespread uncertainty for investors."
A survey by the accounting firm KPMG found that tax incentives for capital investment in infrastructure are seen as a key driver of growth among big businesses.
Chris Morgan, head of tax policy at KPMG in the UK, said: "Our survey suggests that such a move would have a real and lasting impact on jobs and capital investment in the country."
Among the stalled projects the BCC report highlighted are a third Heathrow runway, cancelled by the coalition government, and work on the A14, which is not due to begin until 2018.
Six other projects are on hold or under discussion, it said, including improvements to the M4 in Wales and key stations on the east coast mainline.

Re: two y-axes with different scaling

The best thing I have found for customizing graphics is David Park's

practical third party applications.

Hope that helps. Unfortunately the TwoAxisListPLot is no longer

Tampa Yankees May Relocate to Ocala
Just the thought of having a sports team in Ocala gives residents like Deborah Tidwell something to look forward to.
"It's going to have a sports in the county that we live in so we don't have to travel so far like to Gainesville or elsewhere to see sports activities," said Tidwell.
Last week, city officials announced that they and the New York Yankees are in the early stages of discussing the possibility of the Tampa Yankees relocating to Ocala.
City manager Matthew Brower said it's too early to determine if it'll happen, but he feels there is a good reason why ocala is the perfect place.
"The Tampa Yankees are a very small fish in a very big ocean. There you've got spring training, Tampa Bay Devil Rays, you got Tampa Bay Buccaneers, you got Lightning,you got USF. So you got a lot of competition there. Here they'd be a really big fish in a small ocean," said Brower.
Since the nearest professional sports team is about an hour and a half away.
Brower said bringing over the Tampa Yankees means more jobs for residents.
"It be a great economic development tool for our community. It'll put us on the map that will hopefully create additional investment," said Brower.
There is one major concern; the cost of building a stadium.
"Not knowing what they field is going to look like, where it's going to be located, how the stadium is going to be. It's still just a little bit early yet to figure out what the costs is going to be, let alone figure out how to fund it," said Brower.
He said some options are a sales tax referendum or user fees.
Last time the Yankees tried building a spring training facility in Ocala, voters didn't want to pay more, but this may be a second chance....
Sports fans like Tidwell would pay more, if it's going to guarantee a chance to watch some baseball here.
"Ya I think we will because it's local. It's so easy to go to it, get the tickets and go and enjoy it live," said Tidwell.
The decision comes down to the city of Ocala, major and minor league baseball associations and the New York Yankees.
Citizens will have a say, depending on how the stadium will be funded.
Bower said expect big decisions to be made this winter.

Drawing Planet Earth by Zel Stoltzfus
Presented by The Butterfly Bar @ The VORTEX at The Butterfly Bar @ The VORTEX
July 7 - August 15, 2012
This month, The Butterfly Bar features artist Zel Stoltzfus and his collection of immensely detailed wildlife paintings. Fun, unique, and informative, Zel's artwork is something that can be appreciated by all! Join us for his opening of Drawing Planet Earth!
Artwork will be featured in the bar through mid-August
Characterized by his precision and "evocative compositions," Zel gained much of his influence growing up immersed in nature. Fun, unique, and informative, Zel's artwork is something that can be appreciated by all! Join us for his opening of Drawing Planet Earth on Saturday, July 7 at 6pm!
Artist Statement
My work is a cross-section, mainly of drawings but a few paintings, of some of what interests me. They are snapshots, sometimes literally, of landscapes and organisms that I find fascinating or meaningful. Tanzania figures prominently into my work as I spent three years of my life growing up there.
I find that my work tiptoes on the edge of science and art. I am almost pedantic about getting detail correct but am in love with the painterly strokes and deft strokes of oil painters, and the innate beauty in my subjects. This creates a conflict in my mind as I work but also leads me towards images that I hope are more and deeper than just the thing that they depict.
I've grown up in a lot of different places and moved to a new country or state almost every year since college. I'm restless in my geographical wanderings and I find that my work reflects that fact. But I'm also patient and like to learn about the places that I'm living and my work reflects that fact too. Modern life is often confusing and chaotic and drawing focuses my mind and, dare I say, soul in a way that nothing else does. I hope that you like what you see.
Thank you

text: I am kinda laughing, cause when I first was looking at the ST's every one said the car was "Impossible, or going to be very hard for aftermarket". What we have Two turbo's already and looking at possibly dozen more if they go threw with this lol. I mean the design shouldn't be to hard to make, just figuring how much of a curve would be needed in the pipe. Turbo probably sit at a rather odd angle tough. Whats cool about our heads with the integrated Manifold is, they are suppose to 0 Restriction, until you build the heads up with bigger valve and more aggressive cams, then might have a restriction issue, but Build a single tube pipe to adapt turbos, is much easier then build heads that make all the exhaust gas hit the turbo at once. So in theory this should be a better more power gain setup in a way.
