INFECTION rates for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) have dropped dramatically in Oxfordshire over the last five years.
The number of people diagnosed with chlamydia, gonorrhoea and HIV have all dropped since 2007.
But there's more to be done still, with NHS Oxfordshire recommended people make sure they get tested.
Chlamydia is the most common bacterial sexually transmitted infection (STI) in the UK, but many people do not know they have got it because at first it is symptomless.
In 2007, Oxfordshire saw 1,141 new cases were reported, but according to the latest figures in 2011 that has dropped to 865.
If left untreated chlamydia can lead to serious long-term problems and cause pain, especially in the abdomen, and may lead to infertility in men or women.
NHS Oxfordshire, the county's Primary Care Trust, said chlamydia is easily cured.
Donna Husband, health improvement principal for NHS Oxfordshire said the test is quick, easy and the service is completely confidential – you can even order it free online.
She said: "Testing and treatment for chlamydia is particularly easy and you complete the test yourself.GPs, Sexual Health Clinics, Contraception Clinics and other services in Oxfordshire offer free test kits to under 25s as well as providing free condoms.
"Chlamydia tests can also be requested either online or through a text to test service, the kit will arrive at your home and it is posted back to the laboratory for analysis.
"Young people under 18 years are able to get free condoms through the county's Safety-Card scheme."
Cases of gonorrhoea have also dropped in the county, despite nationally figures seeing a 25 per cent increase.
Between 2007 and 2011, new cases dropped from 128 to 94.
And new diagnoses of HIV in Oxfordshire is also on the decrease.
In 2007, 71 new cases were discovered. The latest figures reveal the number has dropped to 45.

Completed Accelerate (June-August) 2016 Points now Posting!
I wrote about how your IHG Rewards Club account may have been targeted for the new Accelerate promotions this quarter previously. I logged on to my IHG Rewards Club account today and can confirm that the points are indeed posting - my previous two-night stay at the Holiday Inn Express Singapore Katong has triggered 10,600 out of 55,000 points of my Accelerate offers this quarter.
In addition to the above offer, my account was also targeted with the IHG Book Direct offer so I earned 14,000 bonus points (5,000 + 9,000) for booking the two nights separately. Therefore, I have essentially managed to earn 24,600 bonus IHG Rewards Club points from a two-night stay at the Holiday Inn Express Singapore Katong which is not too shabby after all. Now, in order for me to trigger my bonus in the Accelerate offer, I will either have to do a long weekend stay (2 nights) in an InterContinental property or do a long weekend stay (2 nights + 1 night) in any IHG property to trigger 41,200 (+15,000) bonus points.
How are your Accelerate offers looking?

Jarlsberg and Cranberry Stuffed Turkey Meatloaf
This turkey meatloaf is easy to make and pretty enough to serve for company. The combination of Jarlsberg cheese, sage and cranberries really brings tremendous flavor to the ground turkey, and when served with the Apple, Sage and Riesling Compote, it makes an elegant, relatively economical meal.
Jarlsberg and Cranberry Stuffed Turkey Meatloaf
- Ingredients:
- 1-1/2 pounds ground turkey (or chicken)
- 3/4 cup dry breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh sage, finely chopped
- 1 cup grated Jarlsberg cheese, divided
- Apple, Sage and Riesling Compote (recipe follows)
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Combine the ground turkey (or chicken), breadcrumbs, salt, pepper and egg in a large mixing bowl. Lay a sheet of wax paper about 18-inches long on the counter and transfer the meat mixture to it. Gently pat the meat into a 12x15-inch rectangle of even thickness.
Scatter the chopped dried cranberries and sage over the meat to within 1 inch of the edges. Top with 3/4 cup of the grated Jarlsberg. Lift the wax paper on one of the short ends and carefully begin rolling the meat mixture into a log, gently patting the meat together and peeling back the wax paper as you roll. Gently press on the ends and seal the seam lengthwise. Transfer to a shallow baking pan sprayed with nonstick spray.
Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the meat is no longer pink and thoroughly cooked. Remove from the oven and top with the remaining grated cheese. Slice and transfer to a serving platter. Serve with Apple, Sage and Riesling Compote (recipe follows).
Makes 8 servings
Recipe Notes:
For an alcohol-free version of this recipe, increase the cider to 1-1/4 cups, replace the riesling with 3/4 cup of chicken broth and add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. The flavor will be a bit different but still delicious.
About Jarlsberg cheese:
Jarlsberg is a semi-soft, cow's milk cheese that, like Swiss, has large round holes. It has a rich, buttery texture and a mild, nutty flavor. Good for both cooking and serving as a snack, Jarlsberg is widely available in both slices and wedges at grocers nationwide.
Apple, Sage and Riesling Compote
- Ingredients:
- 3 medium apples, peeled, cored, cut into small chunks
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1-1/2 cups medium dry Riesling
- 3/4 cup apple cider
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1-1/2 tablespoons fresh sage, chopped
Place the apples in a small bowl and toss with the lemon juice. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and set aside.
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the riesling and apple cider, salt and pepper and bring to a boil for 1 minute. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the liquid is reduced by half and beginning to thicken, about 12 minutes. Add the chopped sage and apples to the pan and cook, stirring frequently, until the apples are hot and beginning to soften, about 3 to 4 minutes more. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

Oklahoma Sooner Jokes
Posted by: admin In: General Jokes
Ahh, it's finally here… football season. Here are a few jokes to kickoff the season!
"What does a Oklahoma graduate and a tornado have in common?"
A. They both will end up in a trailer park.
What do you call the sweat on two sooners having sex?
A. Relative Humidity.
Why is it so difficult to solve a murder in Norman, OK?
A. All the DNA is the same and there are no dental records.
Little David was in his 5th grade class when the teacher asked the children what their fathers did for a living. All the typical answers came up — fireman, policeman, salesman, etc… David was being uncharacteristically quiet and so the teacher asked him about his father.
"My father's an exotic dancer in a gay cabaret and takes off all his clothes in front of other men. Sometimes, if the offer's really good, he'll go out to the alley with some guy and make love with him for money."
The teacher, obviously shaken by this statement, hurriedly set the other children to work on some coloring, and took Little David aside to ask him, "Is that really true about your father?"
"No," said David, "He coaches at the University of Oklahoma , but I was too embarrassed to say that in front of the other kids."
Did you hear about the Oklahoma linebacker who stole a police car?
He saw "911" on the side and thought it was a Porsche.
What do they call a crime ring in Norman?
A. A huddle
There are 4 ou players in a car. Who is driving?
A. The police
Did you hear about the new honor system at ou?
Yes, your Honor. No, your Honor.
OU has hired a new defensive coordinator.
Johnny Cochran starts on Monday.
Two Sooner football players were hootin', hollerin' and yee hawin' when the bartender asked them why
they were celebrating. The smart one said proudly that they had just finished
a jigsaw puzzle and it only took two months.
"Two months!?" exclaimed the bartender. "To complete a simple puzzle?"
The Texan replied, "Yeah, but the box said 4-6 years."
A little boy and his mother were walking in a Norman cemetary when they came
upon a headstone that read "Here lies an Oklahoma graduate and an honest man."
The little boy asked, "Mommy, why did they bury 2 people in there?"
Santa Claus, the tooth fairy, a classy ou Fan and an old drunk are
walking down the street together when they simultaneously spot a
hundred dollar bill. Who gets it?
* The old drunk, of course; the other three are mythical creatures.
A Sooner walks into a bar with a huge jar full of money sitting on the bar, he inguires to the bartender about the money. The bartender tells him he must complete 3 tasks to win the money.
1- knock the 7 ft 350 lb Shaquelle O'Neil look-alike out cold with 1 punch.
2-There is a pitbull out back on a log chain with a sore tooth, you must pull
that tooth.
3- There is a lesbian in the room upstairs who has never been sexually
satisfied by a man, you must satisfy her completely.
The Sooner says "no problem" walks to the end of the bar and knocks the 7 footer out cold with a single punch.
He then heads out the back door, where growling, barking, snarling, whining, then yelping is heard.
He stumbles back into the bar, clothes tattered and bleeding profusely and says, "OK now where's that lesbian who needs her tooth pulled?
OU head coach, Bob Stoops was visiting a primary school and he visited one of the classes. They were in the middle of a discussion related to words and their meanings. The teacher asked the coach if he would like to lead the discussion on the word 'tragedy'. So Stoops asked the class for an example of a 'tragedy'.
One little boy stood up and offered: 'If my best friend, who lives on a farm, is playing in the field and a tractor runs over him and kills him, that would be a tragedy.'
'No,' said Stoops, 'that would be an accident.'
A little girl raised her hand: 'If a school bus carrying 50 children drove over a cliff, killing everyone inside, that would be a tragedy.'
'I'm afraid not,' explained Stoops. 'That's what we would call great loss.'
The room went silent. No other children volunteered. Stoops searched the room. 'Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?'
Finally at the back of the room, Little Johnny raised his hand. In a quiet voice he said: 'If the plane carrying you and the sooner football team was struck by a 'friendly fire' missile and blown to smithereens that would be a tragedy.'
'Fantastic!' exclaimed Stoops. 'That's right. And can you tell me why that would be tragedy?'
'Well,' says the boy, 'It has to be a tragedy, because it certainly wouldn't be a great loss… and it probably wouldn't be a fucking accident either.'
What do an OU fan and a medium pizza have in common?
A. Neither can feed a family of four.
So a new mortician was preparing his first body for burial when he noticed a cork sticking out of the man's pooper. Thinking that was odd, he removed the cork and immediately boomer sooner began playing from the man's butt. He quickly stuck the cork back in and ran upstairs to get his boss. As they walked downstairs, the new mortician ranted about how he had just seen and heard the craziest thing ever and that his boss would be amazed. When they got to the body, the young mortician removed the cork and again, boomer sooner began to play. He put the cork back in and asked his boss, "Isn't that the weirdest thing you've ever seen?" His boss said, "No, I hear thousands of buttholes sing that song every fall."

A raccoon at a Russian zoo has become obsessed with breasts, and an advertising studio believed to be responsible might have to pay the price. According to a report from the BBC, the zoo loaned the raccoon to the studio for use in a television commercial. But when a topless model appeared on set, the raccoon became over-stimulated. The animal saw a dramatic shift in mood following the shoot.
The raccoon, who goes by the name of Thomas, may have already had an affinity for the female anatomy. The case has become a real he-said she-said affair, with the zoo claiming that treats were hidden on the model in order to keep Thomas' interest. Meanwhile the Moscow-based studio, Art-Msk, says Thomas grabbed the model's bra and nibbled on it.
The zoo is now seeking damages, a claim Art-Msk's Valery Bogatov calls ludicrous. If the video was pornographic in nature, it would ever be broadcast on federal television as it was intended, he said.
While Thomas' behavior initially disturbed female staff at the zoo, the raccoon has since returned to normal. "Tomas came back withdrawn, always slept in the corner, and snapped at people," zoo spokesman Viktor Kiryukhin told the Telegraph. "It took two to three months to change his behavior," he told the BBC. "Now he is happy again… but he was sad before."

Four-day weeks, right? They're only four days, but somehow they feel like the punishment for the three-day weekend as we try to cram five days of work in to a few short days. The APW staff is, by and large, pretty exhausted, and I think we need the weekend to pull ourselves together. Ha. We're still all recovering from the hurricane that was last week (behind the scenes shot of our three-day shoot above, more coming at you very, very soon), not to mention the joy of the first long summer weekend.
My family is getting (just) outside of town for the weekend, where I plan to lie in the sun and sleep it off. What are you guys up to?
And! A reminder! If you're getting married and you want to show off a picture or two with the APW crowd, tag it as #APWwedding on Instagram, so we can see it to repost it on APW's Instagram feed. Joy parade!
It's your open thread, hop on! But first, your link roundup. We have a special section this week for the best articles about #yesallwomen and the horror at UCSB last weekend.
Highlights of APW This Week
Simple tips for writing your wedding vows. (Tip number one: get started now, not the week before the wedding.)
The coolest and simplest braid trick you've ever seen.
Veil roundup! For when you decide veils don't have to be a patriarchal conspiracy.
Should we honeymoon now instead of later? YES. (And yes, turning off your phones and your computer and staycationing totally counts.)
Rachel's wedding! Worth reading, again and again.
If you only knew how miraculous we are. #yesallwomen
Help us help you solve your wedding problems!
Should we honeymoon, or save money?
Link Roundup
Let's, like, demolish laundry. The best (and most fun to read) article I've seen on the current tech bubble. And… laundry apps. Not joking. Are we surprised it's all men trying to solve laundry like it's a puzzle?
The faith journey of a square peg in a round hole.
"If you don't like what people are saying about you, then change the conversation." Angelina Jolie's perfect PR game. (If, like me, you're a media addict, this is a fascinating must read.)
I'll be making time this weekend to read "The Case for Reparations." Fun fact: my favorite course in college was about societal recovery after atrocity, and I have huge books about reparations on my shelf.
We've all pre-ordered Amy Poehler's book, yes?
Bring back Reading Rainbow! Okay, yes, it's already funded, but you know you want them to have an awesome budget to bring back this amazing show. (Note: I didn't have a TV growing up, but the rest of the staff collectively wrote the last sentence.)
And I'm glad I didn't join the internet snarking on Kimye's upcoming wedding, because y'all? Those few photos we've seen are GORG. And sweet. <3 girlfriend.
"Fifteen Must-Read #YesAllWomen Tweets."
"It's not all men. But it's men."
Let the record reflect, this is not okay.
"How many times do they have to tell us before we believe them?"
"We have work to do: #yesallwomen and the Web."
"The constant barrage of sexism women face."
"Your Princess Is In Another Castle: Misogyny, Entitlement, and Nerds."
And, somewhat related. A French short film tries to illustrate to men what it feels like to be a woman.

LeBron James, Chris Paul, Dwyane Wade and Carmelo Anthony are going home — and bringing chums with them.
With no end to the NBA lockout in sight, the All-Star team is ready to head a 4-game "Homecoming Tour," beginning with a matchup in James ' hometown of Akron, Ohio on December 1, followed by a December Four basketball gamein New Orleans, a December 7 game in Chicago and ending with a December Ten contest in East Rutherford, N.J. Basketball spreads
James, Paul, Wade and Anthony are committed to participate in in all 4 games of the tour, which was published early Monday. Proceeds from the tour — which should include events like food drives, academic outreach programs and clinics in each city — will be advantageous to the four headlining players ' charitable foundations, and tour sponsor Google Plus will stream each game live.
"It'll be very neat," Wade told the Associated Press. "First of all, this is a thing we discussed doing a long time gone as players. To have a chance to go to these different towns that we are from, to bring basketball to them at a high level and also have a charitable part in each town and to be with the blokes, it'll be cool. It's something we're looking forward to."
Tickets for the 1st three games go up for sale Tuesday. Tickets for the East Rutherford game will be on sale Wednesday.
The lists for the 4 games will possibly change considerably in each city. James will play a significant role in organizing the Akron game, as will Paul in New Orleans, Wade in Chicago and Anthony at East Rutherford. Baseball odds
Chris Bosh — who, together with James and Wade, makes up the supposed Giant 3 with the Miami Heat, is expected to play in all 4 games. Bosh, together with James, Wade, the New Orleans guard Paul, the New York Knicks ' forward Anthony, Heat forward Udonis Haslem and others have been part of a thorough coaching camp in Oregon for players represented by Creative Artists Agency since late last week.
"I'm sore," Wade claimed from Oregon. "But that is the reason why we set it up this way. We want to get into work mode. When we get into the tour, we want to play. We want to be fitted out to do that. We do not really want to just run up and down the court and boost shots. We would like to get into the things we need to do when it comes to strength, defense, all those things you generally do in coaching camp. So we're getting into that mindset."
There's been no shortage of exhibitions featuring NBA players in the lockout, which is now in its 21st week and already has led on to the cancellation of more than Three hundred games — approximately one-quarter of a full season. Talks broke off last week after players dropped an offer that the NBA recounted would have raised incomes considerably, which seemingly was not enough to convince player reps that it was the right deal.
The principals involved in this say the tour will be different from most offseason exhibitions in a number of ways, notably the intensive charitable aspects.
"I am so thrilled to have this excellent opportunity to participate in this tour," Anthony recounted in a press release. "To couple 2 of the things I really like to do — play basketball and give back — is special. This is just the start of a movement to facilitate change in our communities and I am thrilled to be part of a grouping of fellows content to lead the charge."
Events begin Nov. 29 in NY with a court zeal and food drive, before the group moves to Akron for events the following day that include a Wheels for Education program — something James is at length involved with in an attempt to help in keeping children from dropping out of highschool — and a basketball clinic at the Boys & Girls Club bearing the two-time NBA MVP's name.
"I am truly happy with the work we're doing in Akron and know what this tour means for the community," James declared.
Paul will host an education-themed event and a clinic in New Orleans on December 2, in advance of the game there two nights later on. Wade hosts 2 events for charity in Chicago on Dec. 6, and another clinic is pencilled in for Big Apple on Dec. 9.
"Being ready to play the game I like alongside my buddies … As well as raising money for charity is a win-win situation," Paul recounted.
Wade recounted another element he's looking forward to is just being around NBA players on a full-time basis again, if only for one or two weeks. While he remains upbeat that much of the season can be saved, he's also not necessarily upbeat that he will return in a Heat uniform again and trying for another NBA finals trip anytime soon.
"We're approaching it as basketball," Wade said. "We're not doing it so people do not forget our names. We're actually doing this to cause effects in the communities that we go to and also to show that we adore this game, we're going to continue to play it and this is something we all decided to do together. So that's what makes this special."

The break in hostilities, which Israel agreed to put in force until midnight local time, was intended to give Palestinians a chance to stock up on supplies, bury their dead, and repair water and energy infrastructure damaged in nearly three weeks of violence. About 1150 Palestinians have been killed and more than 160,000 have been displaced in fighting that has also left 45 Israelis and a Thai worker in Israel dead.
After Hamas sent more than 30 rockets and mortars into Israel during the ceasefire, the Israeli military announced in an emailed statement that the truce was off.
Hamas said it rejected the ceasefire deal because it left Israeli troops inside Gaza. Israeli police said a civilian was severely wounded after Israel agreed on Saturday to extend the truce, which initially went into effect late Friday, police said.
The third conflict between the sides in six years deepened last week after the Israeli military added to its airstrikes by sending troops into the territory. Israeli financial markets have been mostly unaffected, with the benchmark stock index little changed and the shekel approaching a three-year high.
The lull in fighting was sought after neither side agreed to US Secretary of State John Kerry's plan for a week-long ceasefire, designed to allow time for talks on a sustainable settlement.
Israel says its offensive aims to end the barrage of rockets fired at its towns from Gaza and destroy infiltration tunnels militants dug into Israeli territory to carry out attacks. Hamas, labelled a terrorist organisation by the US and European Union, says Israel's economic embargo on Gaza must end as part of any deal.
Earlier when Israel extended the ceasefire there had been little anticipation across the Middle East that this would bring the conflict to an end, as Mr Kerry continued his shuttle efforts to stop fighting.
Mr Kerry was in Paris over the weekend for talks with the foreign ministers of France, Britain, Germany, Qatar and Turkey in efforts to formulate a ceasefire that would enable an end to hostilities between Israel and Hamas militants in Gaza.
But the absence of representatives from the Palestinian Authority and from Egypt at the Paris talks was noteworthy. Egypt has been seeking to broker a deal that would bring the latest round of bloodshed to an end, but relations between Cairo and Hamas are strained. There is little trust between the Islamist Hamas and the Egyptians, who are seen as having colluded with Israel in sealing off the Gaza Strip. Egypt has closed crossing points between Gaza and Egyptian territory.
Hamas is demanding an end to the "blockade'' of Gaza to enable traffic to resume, both into Israel and Egypt.
Hamas responded to the ceasefire in a statement that "no humanitarian ceasefire is valid without Israeli tanks withdrawing from the Gaza Strip and without residents being able to return to their homes, and ambulances carrying bodies being able to freely move around in Gaza". Late on Saturday, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, claimed responsibility for rocket attacks on southern Israel and Tel Aviv immediately after the expiry of a 12-hour ceasefire both sides had abided by.

In San Francisco, the new Bank of California would branch itself in Virginia City, Nevada, a mining town situated on a mountain side over the Comstock Lode of silver. As the branch's moment bigger grows under the direction of William Sharon, so a monopolistic sovereignty of mills and mines is ventured.
This drama sets forth the actions of monopolist temerity and what success or miss the principals had. F. L. Light is the author of the Gouldium, a series of 24 dramas (all framed to his peculiar form of Athenian tragic poetry), on the life and times of Jay Gould.

A few years ago on a bright spring day, I decided to burn the dead grasses in our small hayfield. With perhaps a little too much glee, I dropped a few matches on the edge of the field. For an hour, nothing happened; I could hardly get the grass to light despite going through an entire box of matches.
But then the breeze freshened, and suddenly the fire stood up and began to move. A few minutes later, my wife and I, running with shovels in hand, could not keep up with it, let alone try to steer it. Within a half-hour, it had burned the entire field, melted a couple of plastic irrigation pipes and started toward our neighbors' fields. Fortunately, there was an overgrazed pasture in the way. There, the flames lay down again before they could do more harm.
I had just learned a basic fact of Western life: Fire rarely does what you expect it to do.
During the first half of the 20th century, the West's public-land managers—especially the U.S. Forest Service—went to war against wildfire, snuffing it out as fast as they could. But as evidence mounted that fire suppression encouraged small trees to choke forests, increasing the chances of future massive blazes, they began adopting new strategies, from mechanically thinning forests to introducing more controlled burns.
In the 1990s, the federal government devised a national fire plan that codified this ecological approach to fire. Yet two decades later, the agencies still find themselves snuffing out almost every fire as fast as possible. One reason is that land managers know they will catch public hell if they let a prescribed burn get away from them and it destroys a few houses, as happened in Arizona, New Mexico and Texas this year. Nothing douses an aggressive fire program as fast as front-page headlines of property loss and damaged lives.
Another reason is funding. While the Forest Service has an open checkbook to fight wildfires, it has very limited funds to do its own preventive work. Consequently, the thinning and burning projects that do get done are postage-stamp-sized efforts that have only a small impact on the management of the West's 277 million fire-prone acres.
Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell notes that his agency treated three million acres last year, while he would like to treat up to five million acres a year. Many fire experts say at least 10 million acres needs to be cut and burned each year to get on top of the problem.
And the problem is growing. This year, wildfires have scorched more than eight million acres of land, according to federal data. Enormous, uncontrolled fires as big as 500,000 acres have become more common than ever, largely driven by shifts in climate. Whether caused by lightning, arsonists or negligent campers, these mega-fires are reshaping the West's ecology.
Ironically, these gigantic fires give federal agencies a real opportunity to meet their forest restoration goals. Throughout the West, a new breed of savvy managers—trained in the post-Smokey Bear era—are learning to make use of fire whenever it makes ecological sense. They send out the troops when flames descend on towns, but stand back when wildfires thin overgrown forests in the backcountry.
Management by natural disaster is a crude philosophy. As one of the West's fire gurus, Arizona State University's Stephen Pyne, recently wrote, if managers start viewing any natural fire ignition as a career-advancement opportunity, "Fire management will consist of pulling the arm of nature's slots, buying Powerball tickets in a lightning lottery. It's a way to 'get the burn out' in the same way that clear cutting got 'the cut out.' But it isn't managing for the ecological goods and services that agencies say they are enhancing."
Yet at a time when larger fires seem inevitable and land agencies are increasingly strapped for funds, opportunism may be the only option left. As any Western farmer can tell you, steering fire is like driving a truck down a mountain with no brakes. There's a chance you'll crash and burn on the side of the road, but if you're lucky, you'll get to the bottom faster than you ever imagined.

UMKC contributes to HIV/AIDS research
According to UNAIDS estimates, there are now 33.2 million people across the globe living with HIV, including 2.5 million children. During 2007 alone, some 2.5 million people became newly-infected with the virus. Around half of all people who become infected with HIV do so before they are 25 and die from AIDS before they are 35.
A vast majority of people with HIV and AIDS live in lower- and middle-income countries. But HIV today is a threat to men, women and children on all continents around the world.
Started on December 1, 1988, World AIDS Day is about raising money, increasing awareness, fighting prejudice and improving education. The World AIDS Day theme for 2009 is 'Universal Access and Human Rights'. World AIDS Day is important in reminding people that HIV has not gone away, and that there are many things still to be done in the search for a cure.
UMKC studies span the disciplines
From basic science to community-based studies, UMKC researchers are involved in a wide variety of projects and programs dedicated to HIV/AIDS. Following are just a few of the studies currently being undertaken by UMKC faculty:
- Maithe Enriquez, R.N., Ph.D., School of Nursing: Prof. Enriquez' current research projects include the development of an intervention program to enhance the health outcomes of Latinas living with HIV. Prof. Enriquez and colleagues have also been working on an intervention designed to enhance readiness for adherence to HIV treatment. An article about this was recently published in the journal "AIDS Patient Care."
- Julie Wright, Pharm.D., School of Medicine: Prof. Wright is deeply involved in HIV/AIDS clinical research areas such as pharmacotherapy, adherence and prevention. She has led UMKC as one of six national sites for a Centers for Disease Control HIV-prevention demonstration project.
- Anil Kumar, Ph.D., School of Pharmacy: Prof. Kumar is currently the principal investigator of four separate NIH-funded studies. A main focus of his research involves the physiological effects of drug and alcohol abuse in HIV-infected patients.
- Carole McArthur, M.D., Ph.D., School of Dentistry: Prof. McArthur's research focuses on immunology and the pathology of HIV. Clinically, she has worked to establish AIDS screening programs in several African nations and currently serves as director of the US-Cameroon Health Program.
- Jannette Berkley-Patton, Ph.D., College of Arts and Sciences, Psychology Department: Prof. Berkley-Patton's current research focuses on the efficacy of HIV education, prevention and screening interventions in African-American churches.
- Kathleen Goggin, Ph.D., College of Arts and Sciences, Psychology Department: Prof. Goggin is director of the Department of Psychology HIV/AIDS Research Group. She is the principal investigator of the MOTIV8 KC Adherence Project, an ongoing study designed to test the efficacy of interventions to improve patient success at adhering to the often difficult and complicated HIV medication regimens known as Antiretroviral Therapy.
- Ann Marie Wood, Ph.D., College of Arts and Sciences, Department of Sociology: Prof. Wood has conducted research to understand why older adults are often excluded from HIV/AIDS prevention policies at the national, state and community levels. Her research has found that prevention efforts for older adults are hindered by a lack of public awareness of AIDS rates, transmission routes and risk factors.

Indeed the current situation is fishy. Ben pointed a true braino in the code I introduced when restructuring the blacklist lib : in _filter_path(), I test each _filter_*() for r!=0 , where I intented to check for r>0. r==0 implements : "exit on first blacklist or exception match". r>0 implements : "exit on first blacklist match". With this later behaviour I can set things like that for max safety and efficiency : blacklist { devnode .* device { vendor .* product .* } wwid .* } blacklist_exceptions { devnode sd.* device { vendor IET.* product .* } wwid "1646561646265.*" } or pragmatically : blacklist { devnode .* wwid .* } blacklist_exceptions { devnode sd.* wwid "1646561646265.*" } Working that out, I also realized there may be another small misbehaviour : First, a little background on path discovery operations : 1) /sys/block parsing shows devnode names 2) devnode names examination shows device identification strings 3) these strings help us choose a getuid helper, which finally shows wwids Meaning we want the devnode blacklisting to prevail over device and wwid, in case we know we don't have device strings available (loop, dm-, raw, ...) Similarily, we want the device blacklist to prevail over wwid, in case we know we don't have getuid callout available. I have no example for this case though, so it shouldn't be as important as the previous one. Problem is we challenge _filter_device() after _filter_wwid(). This can be easily shufled around. So, I submit this (attached) patch to your review. regards, cvaroqui Le samedi 10 novembre 2007 à 00:20 +0100, Stefan Bader a écrit : > > > Any thoughts on this? Good Idea?

The Caves of Campanet are situated in the north of the island in an unspoilt valley which captures the unique character and charm of rural Majorca. They cover an area of 3.200 Square metres. The tour, of approximately 40 minutes, will take you through beautifully decorated chambers and passageways. Deep in the caves you will see magnificient stalagmites and stalactites sculpted by water throughout millions of years. Their variety, delicacy and color are outstanding. Of scientific interest are the signs of the existence of Henrotius Jordai, an indigenous, carnivorous, blind beetle and the remains of Myotragus Balearicus, an indigenous mammal believed extinct about 4000 years ago. From the bar and spacious terrace you can enjoy the sun and the beauty of the San Miguel valley.

Mr. Sammy Duvall had to get on a hawse an' go to New Liberty an' fetch a doctor to plug up the hole in my head.
The "hawse" of a ship is that part of the bows where the "hawse-holes" are made.
Again there was the sound of many waters, more mighty yet, as hawse pipes and scuppers spouted forth their loads.
Said well never get the hawsers to run out with them bugs in the hawse pipes.
"You want to be careful not to hurt that hawse," he warned, as Bowles caught his breath and started.
I sure never run no hawse race with the sheriff out of Texas!
The hawse hole for the chain cable is fitted as has not been seen before.
First thing you know that hawse will pitch into the herd and we'll have a stampede on our hands.
That it was a sign, sir, that it was a bad hour to cross your hawse.
They 'clear our hawse' from turns and twists in the chain of our landward connections.
part of a ship's bow (containing the hawse-holes), late 15c., from Old English or Old Norse hals "part of a ship's prow," literally "neck" (see collar). Respelled with -aw- late 1500s.

They did not care for walks up the fjeld, but preferred to go to the woods together, where they talked for hours.
We were going to seek the nomad herders in the deeper recesses of the fjeld.
One day the postman who crosses the fjeld once a month came on me just as I had shouted.
This morning we crossed the fjeld to Rus Vand in a gale of wind.
There was nothing but the aching emptiness of the fjeld, and the dogs bark was not repeated.
The Lapps, as usual took themselves off to the fjeld to testify their joy.
You must often hear and see strange things in the woods, and on the fjeld, Peter!
It is twenty-four miles from the village and eighteen across the fjeld.
The great majority were still free wanderers on the fjeld and the tundras.
When we reached the top of the fjeld, Josephine wanted to turn back.

One of the challenges that comes with moving to MongoDB is figuring how to best model your data. While most developers have internalized the rules of thumb for designing schemas for relational databases, these rules don't always apply to MongoDB. The simple fact that documents can represent rich, schema-free data structures means that we have a lot of viable alternatives to the standard, normalized, relational model. Not only that, MongoDB has several unique features, such as atomic updates and indexed array keys, that greatly influence the kinds of schemas that make sense.

The WaPo's train-wreck of an economy Q & A
Blog ››› ››› JAMISON FOSER
On Thursday, Washington Post reporter Frank Ahrens held an online Q&A about president Obama's jobs summit. Ahrens has been widely mocked for his inane response to a reader who correctly pointed out that he was wrong to suggest that U.S. corporations pay unusually high taxes:
Frank Ahrens: But did you know our corporate tax rate is among the highest in the world? That makes a real difference if you're a business and you're thinking about locating in the U.S. or, say, India.
But did you know our corporate tax rate is among the highest in the world?: Dead wrong. Our nominal tax rate of 35% is among the highest, but because of loopholes our real tax rate of 18% is among the lowest real corporate tax rates.
Frank Ahrens: Back atcha.
That was Ahrens entire response: "Back atcha." What was that even supposed to mean? As Matthew Yglesias put it, it was an "embarrassing exchange between The Washington Post's readers and a badly overmatched Washington Post financial reporter, who doesn't seem to know anything about tax policy, or how to admit you're wrong, or how to just confess ignorance of an issue."
But what hasn't gotten much attention is that the rest of the Q&A was a train-wreck, too.
In response to the second question he was asked, Ahrens implied that president Obama's response to the recession should be to stop spending and slash the federal budget deficit, which would be news to the legions of economists who think that's the last thing the government should do during tough economic times.
A little later, Ahrens wrote that the jobs summit was "A nice photo opp, with the president standing side-by-side with America's business leaders" and added "Today, big CEOs have the president's ear for several hours, and they can give real rubber-meets-the-road examples of what tax cuts and other business stimuli can provide."
Let's set aside Ahrens odd faith in "big CEOs" having ideas that will help the economy rather than, well, big CEOs. And his suggestion that tax cuts are the answer.
Instead, let's skip to a question a little later, in which a reader from Brunswick, Maine asserted that the jobs summit consisted only of "Unions, Liberal Think Tanks, SEIU, Teacher's Union, EPA, Democrats" and excluded "Independent Businesses." Ahrens' reply? "This is a good point and one which was addressed in our story today on the summit. The White House's response: We've already talked to these other groups and will continue to do so."
Wait, what? Just a few minutes earlier, Ahrens had said Obama would stand "side-by-side with America's business leaders" at the summit, during which "big CEOs" would "have the president's ear for several hours." Now Ahrens says a claim that the summit excludes business interests is a "good point"? Well, which is it?
(That questioner from Brunswick also denounced "this dictatorship from our government body" and said Obama "has taken the most divisive path of any president in history" -- and Ahrens only response was to praise the questioner for making a "good point.")
Then there's Ahrens' claims about the drawbacks of government stimulus spending:
The drawback here is that there is not enough government money to sustain an economy the size of the U.S.'s. It's like trying to run a big furnace with one coal. And, it ends up being a zero-sum game -- nothing is created, just recycled.
Some have advocated creating a new FDR-like WPA, or Works Progress Administration, creating millions of new make-work jobs. If your goal is only lowering unemployment, that'll work. But if your goal is restoring a vibrant, growing economy, it won't for the reasons listed above.
The "trying to run a big furnace with one coal" analogy doesn't really work. A better one might be "using kindling to start a bonfire." And Ahrens didn't actually explain how putting people to work won't help to restore a "vibrant, growing economy." Unless he thinks his furnace analogy is the explanation.
A little later:
During President George W. Bush's two terms, unemployment started in January 2001 at 4.2 percent. In his last month in office, January 2009, it was up to 7.6 percent.
Prior to last year's recession surge, however, unemployment during the eight years of Bush's terms never got higher than 6.3 percent. ... for the bulk of his two terms, unemployment was not a problem.
Granted, "not a problem" is somewhat subjective, but many people probably thought a 50 percent increase in the unemployment rate in a little more than two years was at least a little bit of a problem.
Then, in a response to a question citing Amity Shlaes' book, The Forgotten Man: A New History of the Great Depression to claim that the New Deal didn't work, Ahrens replied:
[Y]es, there's some excellent recent scholarship on the efficacy -- or not -- of of FDR's alphabet-soup agencies. The chief villain appears to have been the NIRA -- the National Industrial Recovery Act -- which (shockingly) actually allowed businesses to create cartels and monopolies to fix prices. (An example, by the way, of demand-side economics.)
Shlaes' anti-New Deal argument has been widely criticized, and economists like Paul Krugman have noted that the New Deal was working until FDR was persuaded to cut government spending in order to balance the budget. Which, remember, is what Ahrens thinks should happen now.
Like I said: train-wreck.

Probably me. We have not been able to get rundig (or more specifically
htmerge) to run from cron for several weeks.
It fails every time it is run from cron. Running it manually (even in the
background) works flawlessly, but running htmerge from cron gets "Word
Sort Failed" every time. Prior to this it worked fine and it still works
fine on a second (nearly identical) machine, but on this machine all 4-5
instances of rundig fail with the same error when run from cron.

Neuroscience might seem to have little to do with economics, but over the last decade researchers have begun combining these disparate fields, mining the latest advances in brain imaging and genetics to get a better understanding of the biological basis for human behavior.
Paul Zak is a pioneer in this nascent field of neuroeconomics. In a recent paper published in the journal PLoS One, he examined genes that may predict success among traders on Wall Street. His forthcoming book, "The Moral Molecule," will explore how a chemical in the brain called oxytocin compels cooperation in society.
Zak, director of the Center for Neuroeconomic Studies at Claremont Graduate University, discussed this work with the Los Angeles Times.
Q: What does a neuroeconomist do?
A: Neuroeconomics measures brain activity while people make decisions. The reason for doing that is that people can't often clearly articulate why they're doing what they're doing.
About 12 years ago, I had this idea that economists really have the wrong view of the world. The stereotypical view is that human beings are highly rational and primarily motivated by self-interest. But we see people helping strangers all the time. We see people doing things that seem "irrational." So I don't think that's the right approach.
Q: What kinds of questions do you explore?
A: Why would two people ever trust each other if they're strangers? We do it all the time. We eat meals in restaurants, and we don't see the cooks prepare the food. We get on airplanes with pilots we've never met. We buy all kinds of things over the Internet. Countries with higher levels of trust are more prosperous. Countries with low levels of trust have very few economic transactions and don't create wealth.
If trust is kind of a social glue that sustains societies and economies, we need to understand why. That will help us improve life for the 2 (billion) or 3 billion people who live on less than $2 a day.
Q: How do you study the biological basis of trust?
A: My first focus was on a chemical in the brain called oxytocin. In humans, it was thought to be released only during childbirth and sex. But in rodents, it was known to allow animals to tolerate their burrowmates.
I said, "Gee, toleration of burrowmates and trusting a stranger - maybe that's the same mechanism." So I started taking blood samples to see whether your brain would release oxytocin if someone sent you money via computer in a lab experiment. I also wanted to explore whether the oxytocin effect would motivate you to reciprocate.
And that's what we found. When you trust someone, their brain releases oxytocin. When you give someone a hug, their brain will release oxytocin. If I'm trustworthy, generous, kind, compassionate and empathic, that makes me a nice person to be around, and it sustains me in my social group.
We have a biology for reciprocation. I call oxytocin "the moral molecule." It's a chemical that motivates us to engage and care about others - and that's the basis for moral behavior.
Q: You've also studied dopamine, a chemical that's released in the brain when you're doing something pleasurable.
A: Yes, in professional stock traders on Wall Street. We asked if there were particular genetic variants that made a trader successful on Wall Street. We collected saliva samples and other information from 60 professional traders and then compared those to MBA students at Claremont who were not trading stocks professionally.
We asked what differentiates the two groups, and whether there was some combination of genes that predicted how long the professional traders could survive on Wall Street. So we looked for genetic markers associated with dopamine, which modulates risk-taking and reward-seeking behaviors.
We found that indeed there was a difference between the traders and the MBA students, and that there was a particular combination of genes that made the traders successful. It was a Goldilocks result. Traders who were most successful had genes that gave them moderate levels of dopamine. They could take a risk when it seemed to have a good payoff and avoid a risk when it seemed likely to blow up in their face. This is what kept them successful on Wall Street.
Q: What other chemicals do you study?
A: Testosterone. We also know that high levels of testosterone inhibit the release of oxytocin, which in turn inhibits trust. When we have administered testosterone to men in experiments, they became more selfish - and also more likely to punish people for being selfish towards them. That can be useful because one way we sustain cooperation is by having people who will invest the resources to punish others who are not playing nice.
Q: Do you use brain imaging in your research?
A: We have a number of studies we've done using brain imaging. But brain imaging is a fairly blunt tool. There are a variety of ways that neuroscientists have to interrogate the brain. We look for a convergence of evidence.
Q: How is your research applied outside the laboratory?
A: We work with companies, government and the military to answer specific problems these institutions face. Some have to do with trust: How do I build a high-performance team that will work well under stress? How do I understand, if I go into a village in Afghanistan, which tribal leaders will be trustworthy and which won't?
We're looking at a variety of ways that human beings come together to motivate cooperation, including the role of ritual. I recently got back from Papua New Guinea, where we found that individuals in isolated tribes who take part in a ritual dance cause oxytocin to be released in other people's brains. That got them closer to their community. So it seems to be universal.
Q: Are economics and neuroscience complementary fields?
A: Scientists have wonderful measurement techniques and understand what the brain is doing, but they don't often ask relevant questions about what humans are really doing in their daily lives. Economists try to address what humans are doing, but their understanding of the reasons why amounts to a black box. They say, "We'll just assume people are always well informed and always make good decisions." But the brain is not developed that way.
By pairing these two disciplines, you get insight into real human behavior that is relevant to understanding life outside the laboratory. I'm trying to connect the dots from molecules to behavior up to society and policy.
I think we're taking a real shot at understanding moral philosophy and social organization. Neuroeconomics gives us a new lens to understand how we've organized our world. It lets me embrace words like "morality" or "love" or "compassion" in a non-squishy way. It says, "These are real things, this is really part of our human nature, and we should embrace that."

WATCH: Arctic Monkeys cover Beatles at Madison Square Garden
Listen to Arctic Monkeys on iHeartRadio
The Arctic Monkeys made their own contribution to all the Beatles love this weekend.
"Rolling Stone" says the British rockers celebrated their fellow Northerners Saturday night during their first headlining gig at New York's Madison Square Garden, kicking off the encore with a cover of "All My Loving."
The performance came one night before the 50th anniversary of the Beatles first appearance on "The Ed Sullivan Show."
Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner marveled at the fact that one in three Americans reportedly watched the Beatles on TV that night, and joked that maybe if he and his bandmates were lucky "one or three Americans" might watch their performance on YouTube.

|Lady Cats finish tournament 1-3
|From Staff Reports
March 12, 2004 -- IRVING -- The Sulphur Springs Lady Cats had a "successful weekend" in terms of experience, but didn't come out of the Irving Nimitz tournament with the record they would have liked.
The Lady Cats finished the tournament with a 1-3 record against four Class 5A schools, with two of their three losses coming on scores of 2-1. Sulphur Springs now has an overall record of 9-3-1 heading into tomorrow's game at Mount Pleasant.
In the Irving tourney, the Lady Cats beat Richland Hills, 2-0, in the opener on Friday, then fell to Irving, 2-1. On Saturday, they were beaten by Southlake Carroll, ranked No. 3 in Class 5A, by a score of 8-1, and then were edged by Irving Nimitz, 2-1.
SSHS head coach John McCullough said the team competed evenly with the 5A programs, except for Carroll, which he said "was clearly better."
"It was a successful weekend in that we got to see four outstanding pitchers. I really think that prepares us for what's coming up in district," McCullough said. "We competed against four of the best programs in the metroplex. Richland has been to the regional finals the last two years, Irving Nimitz is picked to win their district and Irving High is picked to finish second behind them.
"We competed well against those teams; there's not a bit of difference between us and them. I feel good about that, and I think the girls did."
SSHS 2, Richland Hills 0
Senior righthander Hollie Watson (5-1-1) gave up just two singles -- neither left the infield -- in recording the Lady Cats' fifth shutout of the season.
Lead-off hitter Kristen Cross, who's batting a team-high .372, and No. 2 batter Whitney Gideon each scored runs for the Lady Cats, who faced a Richland pitcher with very good movement on her pitches, McCullough said.
"I was very pleased with the effort in that game," he said. "Hollie pitched an exceptional game, and we backed her up defensively."
Irving 2, SSHS 1
Things started badly for Sulphur Springs when Irving's lead-off hitter opened the game with a triple and scored on an SSHS error.
"They tried to squeeze her. We pitched out and had her picked off, and just threw away the rundown play and gave them a run," McCullough said. "They pitcher did a great job of keeping the ball on the outside part of the plate, and we weren't able to hit the ball to right field very effectively."
The miscue on the rundown was one of the few defensive lapses in the tournament. McCullough said senior catcher Courtney Aguilar did a good job of taking control of the game, and SSHS shortstop Savana Gibby twice went into the hole to pick ground balls and throw runners out at first.
The Lady Cats scored in the top of the seventh on Stephanie Kethley's RBI single.
Southlake Carroll 8, SSHS 1
Melissa McSheffery (4-2) pitched a nice game despite the score, the coach said.
"Southlake is an outstanding team. They hit the ball well, they have two outstanding pitchers, and there's a reason they are ranked No. 3 in the state," McCullough explained. "Melissa didn't pitch a bad game, they just hit the ball real well."
Irving Nimitz 2, SSHS 1
Sulphur Springs had chances to put the game away early, but then Nimitz won it late.
McCullough termed it " the most disappointing game of the tournament" because the Lady Cats didn't hit Nimitz pitcher Kelli Dyson when they had the opportunity in the third inning with runners on bae.
Nimitz scored an unearned run with two outs in the bottom of the sixth on a wild pitch, then they came back to score on a bloop single with two outs in the seventh inning to escape with a win.
Despite the tournament record, McCullough said the tournament was just as beneficial as the previous one in Corsicana, when the Lady Cats went 5-0.
"After coming off that Corsicana weekend, where we're just rolling along and everything's going great, then you face great competition like this, it lets you know there's some things you have to work on to ultimately get to the goal you're striving for which is the district champion and ultimately, hopefully, state champion. I think it was a good weekend for us," he explained.
He saw some adjustments the Lady Cats need to make at the plate before the district season starts March 23.
The Lady Cats will face Mount Pleasant at 7 p.m. Tuesday as their non-district schedule continues. They will then play in the Arlington tournament this weekend.

'Gear Down, Cool Down'
Submitted by Don Chisholm
Lexington Fire Department, Massachusetts
Often, when firefighters are in rehab, the one repeated mistake is that they are still wearing their turn-out gear. Whether it is your bunker pants or an open turn-out coat or your lid, it is all preventing you from cooling down efficiently and quickly.
Once you have entered the rehab area (hopefully you have one designated) one of the first orders of business should be removing full turn-outs and helmets. If your rehab area is outside consider ambient temperatures when doing this. Otherwise the sooner these items are removed the sooner you can start cooling the core areas that hold in so much heat.

WORCESTER, Mass. - With a fifth-place finish in its heat, the University of Pennsylvania men's lightweight varsity competed in the Petite Final Sunday at EARC Sprints in Worcester, Mass. The Quakers then finished ninth overall, while the freshman boat claimed first-place in its Petite Final.
The varsity was unable to keep up with a trio of Ivy League schools (Harvard, Yale, Princeton) and Navy in its opening heat. The Crimson won the race at 6:04.545, while Penn finished in 6:21.436. Navy and Penn went to the Petite Final, where Columbia was the easy winner at 6:20.859. The Red and Blue were third with a finish of 6:38.160.
The freshmen also finished fifth in their heat. It was a close race between all five boats. Princeton won and advanced to the Grand Final with a time of 6:02.515. Penn finished in 6:11.279, which was just a few seats from third place.
However, later in the day, the freshman responded with a close victory in the Petite Final. Penn blew away Georgetown and held off M.I.T. and Columbia to post a winning time of 6:31.268.
In the open fours, the Quakers were fifth with a mark of 7:15.570. Columbia won the race and the lightweights finished just behind the Penn heavyweights. Both beat Georgetown to the finish.
The second varsity boat held the same fate as Penn's varsity 8. The Quakers finished fifth in their heat at 6:19.233 and competed in the Petite Final, where they also placed third. The Quakers stopped the clock at 6:35.155, which was about 10 seconds behind the Petite Final winners, Harvard.
