Sons and Princes
($3.59 US; Free UK/DE), by James Lepore, is free for UK and European customers in the Kindle store and from Barnes & Noble tonight. It should be free for US Kindle customers by morning.
Book Description
Chris Massi has been running from his world his entire life. The son of a Mafia assassin and the former son-in-law of a mob kingpin, Massi has tried to stay on the right side of the law, building a prestigious career as an attorney, and insulating his children as much as possible. But now a series of tragedies have left him without a law license and without several of his loved ones. And at the same time, his teenaged son is beginning to gravitate toward the gangster world Chris has tried so hard to protect him from.
Michele Mathias has been running away from her life for more than a decade. Once a promising young woman with a future, she's now a drug addicted street player living with the knowledge that her daughter – the only bright thing in her life – was taken away from her. When her roommate is murdered in a mob-related hit, her life intersects with Chris's life – and their worlds change forever.
For Chris, a showdown is coming. The only way for him to save his son and regain his future is to face – and maybe even embrace – the demon he's always avoided. For Michele, her last chance at redemption has arrived. How their journeys collide with the dark New York underworld is the stuff of the kind of suspenseful, passionate drama we've come to expect from James LePore.

Two years ago, the Council of the American Physical Society issued a statement on National Security and the Open Conduct of Science. The Council reaffirms three propositions central to that statement:
There is a "critical connection between US national security and scientific research activities;"
"Effective national security requires the highest standards of vigilance and circumspection;"
And "the science on which [national security] is based must meet the highest standards of excellence."
To maintain the scientific vitality of the weapons laboratories, the Council therefore recommends that:
- Restrictions on scientific interchange of unclassified information be eliminated to the maximum extent possible, including limitations on foreign visitors and on travel by laboratory personnel.
- There be no blanket polygraph testing of personnel at weapons laboratories.
The Council notes that the strength and effectiveness of the weapons laboratories requires a scientific workforce of the highest caliber. The morale of that workforce would be damaged seriously by a program of polygraph testing so routinely applied that it calls into question the integrity of individuals who are devoting their careers to national purpose. As the Council previously noted, morale would also be damaged by "any negative characterization of scientists on the basis of ethnic or national origins." Only by attracting and retaining outstanding scientists can the weapons laboratories continue to perform their critical national security role.

The word gay has evolved over the years. Back in the day it was a word for happy and jovial. Then it became a word to describe a man who is sexually attracted to other men. But recently, it's also taken on new meaning. The term gay now refers to something that is lame, stupid or effeminate.
For example, a guy may say something like "Dude, Steve just bought the new Taylor Swift CD. How gay is that?… or "Rich is so gay. He blew off going to the bar to watch "Dancing with the Stars."
In the original Living with Balls series, I will take a close look at something that may be perceived as "gay" (in the most recent definition) among fellow men and determine if it truly is gay or if it's a perfectly manly thing to do.
Today's topic is: Owning a cat.
Dogs have long held the title as "Man's Best Friend." Ever since that phrase was coined, men have always been encouraged to own a dog. But what about cats? Is it socially acceptable for single man to own a cat? Can a man who owns a cat be considered masculine?
Men with dogs have never had to worry about the stigma of being gay. But male cat owners have long been the butt of jokes because they own a cat. It's even been portrayed in popular culture. Since a young age we've been conditioned to think it's gay to own a cat. Just take a look at some of our favorite childhood cartoons… Jon Arbuckle— the owner of Garfield—is a total loser. Mister Geppetto from Pinocchio is the proud owner of Figaro the cat. He is a weird old man who sits around all day making wooden boy puppets and collecting clocks. And that bad guy from Inspector Gadget is always menacingly petting a cat.
Meanwhile, dogs get all the good movie roles. How many good dog movies have there been? Turner and Hooch, Beethoven, and Marley and Me are just a few. The dog is always portrayed as a hero, while cats can barely get a supporting role. Even Homeward Bound, which featured a cat, still managed to shed cats in a negative light. Michael J. Fox played a lovable mutt named Chance, while Sally Field played a whiney, pretentious cat. There's even a movie called All Dogs go to Heaven. What about cats? Do they go straight to hell? Do they have to go to purgatory first? No one ever makes good movies about a cat.
Cats have been getting a bad publicity for years. The rules of society tell us it is weird for a man to own a cat. I'm here to tell you why it's perfectly fine for a man to have a feline friend.
I've grown up with both cats and dogs nearly my entire life. I enjoy both of them as pets. But dogs are A LOT of work. They are like a child that never grows up. You have to be there to feed them, walk them, exercise them and groom them. When it's 6 a.m. and its 12 degrees outside, your dog is not going to want to hear your excuses. They haven't gone to the bathroom in 10 hours and they need to piss. You have a choice to either get your butt out of bed and walk them in the freezing cold or have them piss on your carpet. It's your choice.
Dogs also tend to kill your social life. Our lives can be very demanding at times, which can make it difficult to be home enough to properly take care of a dog. Want to go out for a few drinks after work? Sorry! Your dog needs to be walked and fed. You got to go home before he craps on the carpet! And unlike cats, you can't just leave food out for dogs because they will literally eat themselves to death if you leave enough food out for them.
Meanwhile, cats are basically self-sufficient. They will eat at a normal pace, they shit without you having to be there and they clean themselves. They are one of the easiest pets to take care of—which is perfect for us lazy guys out there.
Then there's the issue of cost. Owning a dog is WAAAY more expensive than owning a cat. Food, toys, vet bills; they are all more expensive for dogs than for cats. According to petside.com it will cost approximately $600-$900 annually to own a cat, which is significantly cheaper than owning a dog. Costs vary depending on the size of the dog but according to this article, owning a dog is a lot more money.
Now I am in agreement that most dogs make for more manly pets than cats–and in a lot of cases, they can be more rewarding to own as well. You can bring dogs places, you can train them to do tricks and they are always happy to see you. However, some men just don't have the lifestyle that is necessary to own a dog and they shouldn't be labeled as effeminate for that. If a man wants to own a pet and a dog is not an option, then a cat is certainly a great substitute….and besides, even the most hardened, macho man couldn't help crack a smile after watching this cat clip.
My wife and I recently adopted a kitten and it was definitely a decision I'm happy we made. We initially wanted a dog but we now realize that it would have been difficult for us take care of one. Our cat is super-friendly, is a great companion and makes me laugh every day—which is more than I can say about a lot of people I know. Though I will say this, the other day I went to feed my cat in the morning and we were out of food. Since I work late some nights, I drove to Petco at 9:00 a.m. on a Tuesday and picked up some food. As I walked through the store, I felt a little weird being by myself, buying cat food on a Tuesday morning. I'm pretty sure the cashier thought I was a homosexual unemployed man.
But I'm neither a homosexual or unemployed. I'm married, so having a cat is a perfectly non-gay thing for me to do. But is it ok for a single man?
I still say it is. However, I do have two guidelines for a man who is thinking about getting a cat…
1. DO NOT own multiple cats. One is enough. Having multiple cats will indeed make you look weird. Have you ever seen animal hoarders? Those people are bat-shit crazy.
2. If you're on a first date, hold off talking about your cat until you've at least been out a few times. Although I think it's ok to own a cat, your date may still think it's strange when you bust out pictures of your kitty on your cell phone on the first date. After a few dates she may see enough things she likes about you to overlook the fact that you own a prissy little Russian Blue named Snuggles.
So what are your thoughts? Do you think it's "gay" for a man to own a cat? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comment section.

Cover Up - Poem by ashley delgado
Peaceful as the sky can be
shiny as the stars can be
dark as the night can be
al covers
what happens at night
not so peaceful
not so shiny
the night is dark
dark as can be
its plain to see
you hear the screams
why turn nd look away
a life that could have been saved
a cry for help
heard around the world
we hear
we look
yet turn away
walk away peaceful as the sky can be
a scream heard
forced to turn away
shiny as the stars can be
you look shrug your shoulders
walk away turn away
dark as the night can be
dark as we all can be
Poet's Notes about The Poem
I was watching a movie where everyone saw this girl getting beat. no one said anything they heard her scream but they continued to just go in their house and pretend nothing went on. Then I realized this happens in real life as well. people are to scared to stand up and be a witness. many lives can be saved if people would speak up

Ministers published a National Service Framework for Mental Health four years ago pledging to modernise care.
But a report by the Sainsbury Centre for Mental Health says many trusts are struggling to maintain services because of a lack of money.
The Department of Health has dismissed the claims saying millions of extra pounds have been spent in this area.
Extra money
According to the report, spending on mental health services will increase by 6.3% this year.
However, after inflation and pay increases have been taken into account this becomes just 1.6%.
The report said the lack of extra money is putting hospitals under pressure, with many struggling with longstanding debts, serious staff shortages and rising prescription bills.
More than half of local implementation teams, which coordinate improvements to local services, said financial pressures were delaying progress towards meeting key government targets.
"The NHS has seen unprecedented levels of extra spending in recent years," said Matt Muijen, chief executive of the Sainsbury Centre for Mental Health.
"Mental health services, however, are falling further behind as their share dwindles year by year."
He said the lack of money is putting plans to modernise the sector at risk.
"The national service framework set out a bold vision for mental health care. But it was predicated on extra resources being available to invest in new services and to avoid the mistakes of the past.
"The reality on the ground is that new services are being introduced without sufficient resources. Some are draining existing services of staff and money; others are too thinly resourced to meet their aims and ambitions."
"We face a simple choice: either mental health gets parity with the rest of the NHS or the government's plans for better services will have to be scaled back significantly."
Figures queried
The Department of Health questioned the figures.
"We question both the methodology and the accuracy of the report," said a spokeswoman.
"The department has more robust comprehensive and long-term data which shows a 6.3% funding increase after inflation."
She added: "There has been a significant growth in spending on community services and new teams dedicated to helping those patients at crisis points."
But Marjorie Wallace, chief executive of the mental health charity SANE, said: "Funding for mental health services is now at a standstill, with new initiatives depleting core teams and services.
"When a person needs hospital care, wards are overflowing, staff overworked, conditions squalid and the traffic in doctors, nurses and patients in gridlock or chaos."
She added: "We are seeing no improvements in the fundamentals of health care and we believe that the health services are putting lives at risk by failing to provide these."

Just in time for the New Year, Mets 101's Seven in Seven series returns as our gift to you. Each week, the Mets 101 staff will begin a countdown of topics related to the New York Mets (i.e. best third baseman, worst defeat, etc.). We will begin our countdowns with the number seven and work all the way to number one. This week's Seven in Seven list takes a look at some of the strangest characters in Mets franchise history, as we take a look at the fifth most offbeat personality in team history, Carl Everett.
5. Carl Everett
When you think of offbeat personalities, one name that always comes up in baseball circles is Carl Everett. Everett was notorious for his temper and his eccentric personality, and he made Queens his home from 1995-1997. While Everett was well known for his talent on the field, his off the field incidents would come to define his tenure in the majors.
Everett made a lot of waves, and one notorious example was his stance on gays. Everett was notoriously anti-gay, going as far to say that he would not accept a gay teammate. Everett threatened to retire if he found out one of his teammates was gay, and implied that he would "set him straight" if a gay teammate was in the clubhouse. Everett later clarified his remarks to Maxim in 2005, stating that he had encountered gay teammates and accepted them. Everett's views, however, remained unchanged on gays as he told the magazine "Gays being gay is wrong. Two women can't produce a baby, two men can't produce a baby, so it's not how it's supposed to be . . . I don't believe in gay marriages. I don't believe in being gay."
While those comments made Everett a lightning rod for criticism, he also said some things that were downright bizarre. Everett has made it be known that he believes that dinosaurs did not exist. Everett was quoted as saying "God created the sun, the stars, the heavens and the earth, and then made Adam and Eve. The Bible never says anything about dinosaurs. You can't say there were dinosaurs when you never saw them. Somebody actually saw Adam and Eve. No one ever saw a Tyrannasaurus Rex." Everett's wacky Bible driven stance on dinosaurs even took on elements of conspiracy theories, as he would later indicate that any dinosaur fossils found were fakes made to propagate the myth of dinosaurs.
Everett's temper also would flare frequently on the field as he had numerous brushes with umpires and got into confrontations with players and coaches as well. Everett seemed to thrive on being hated, and he never stuck around any one club for more than a few years at a time. Everett's time in Flushing only lasted until 1997, when the Mets had enough of Everett's antics and traded him to the Houston Astros. While he was a member of the Mets, however, Everett showed his wacky side and not all of it was a pleasant experience.

Even if you haven't gone 'cold turkey' for Meat Free May and are not even considering taking part in National Vegetarian week, you can still join in with the spirit of trying something new with these top food events around the capital...
Test Kitchen Tuesdays
'Test Kitchen Tuesday' is a blind tasting menu from the chefs at Craft in North Greenwich. Each week they are tasked with creating a completely original menu by head chef Stevie Parle - who you may recognise from this year's Master Chef. Passionate servers talk you through dishes made with ingredients that are not commonly available and they're so keen to listen to your feedback that they give you a pencil and paper on which to offer it.
A special meat-free menu will held on Tuesday 17th May in honour of National Vegetarian Week. You'll be hard pushed to find much fresher ingredients as Parle grows much of his produce in his kitchen garden at home and a plot outside the restaurant.

New chamber music summer academy launches
Wednesday, Mar 26, 2014 01:45 pm
Summer music academy
� Registration deadline is Tuesday, April 15. A brochure, registration form and waiver are available at www.stalbertchambermusic.ca. If there are questions email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Piano teacher Nancy Watt has a dream � to make St. Albert the chamber music capital of Alberta.
Watt, who four years ago founded the ongoing St. Albert Chamber Music Series, is well on her way to accomplishing that goal.
In addition to the chamber music series, Watt along with a team of dynamic classical musicians, are launching the inaugural St. Albert Chamber Music Summer Academy.
A one-week camp running from July 7 to 11, it will provide instruction for young musicians studying the violin, viola, cello, bass, flute and piano.
The academy�s goal is to nurture young musicians by providing the opportunity to develop their technical skills, reinforce their passion for music and socialize with peers.
�It brings together different disciplines,� says Watt. �Playing an instrument can be solitary and there�s a lot of repertoire for small ensembles out there. Musically, playing in an ensemble benefits a player. It makes them better listeners. Just being able to adjust your dynamics so the sound is important to learn.�
The five-day intensive will combine private lessons, group workshops, team building exercises, ear training and development of good practice habits.
Students will be grouped according to age and level of development. Free concerts open to the public will be held at Don�s Piano Showroom on Thursday and Friday.
�For me it�s always been about teaching,� Watt says who has taught for close to 32 years.
Shortly after receiving an education degree from the University of Alberta, Watt moved to Baffin Island with her husband where she taught children English as a second language.
�Music was a way of developing a connection with the kids.�
Approximately 18 years ago, Watt moved to St. Albert and opened her doors to eager young pianists.
�Through the St. Albert Chamber Music Series, I was able to give young artists the opportunity to be on stage and this (academy) seemed like a natural progression.�
In addition to Watt, there are four additional instructors excited about the prospect of mentoring young minds.
Pianist Ina Dykstra, also from St. Albert, has more than 30 years experience as an accompanist, performer, clinician and teacher. A graduate of the University of Alberta in piano performance, Dykstra has worked with a broad palette of students from the very gifted to special needs.
�Ina demands exceptional ability and dedication. Working with her can inspire a student and help them achieve more than they thought was possible. In a good way, she brings out the best in her students.�
Cellist Julie Amundsen has completed graduate levels both at the University of Alberta and The Musik Hochschule in Hannover, Germany. A regular performer with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra, she also plays with the Boonie Doon Trio and teaches privately.
�She has a positive attitude, enthusiasm for music and the instrument. She develops a nice pleasant connection with students and is very comfortable to work with.�
An Edmonton pianist, Janna Olson instead is a sessional instructor at King�s University College.
�Janna and I go back a long way. We run into each other at conferences and festivals where our students take part. She has a positive approach and I�ve seen her students play. They play well and she�s a very multi-talented teacher.�
And last but not least, Brazilian violinist Vladimir Rufino of the Vaughn String Quartet joins the team. A violin instructor at Visionary College, Rufino received a Master of Music Violin Performance from Azusa Pacific University.
�He�s an exceptional player and again brings a love of chamber music. He�s respected in the community even though he�s been here a short time. He loves music and is a fresh face.�

We used African Heritage House as our base during our travels throughout East Africa - we stayed 4 nights over a 3 week period. Firstly in making arrangements i dealt directly with Alan (before he took his holidays) and he was very responsive and helpful. It is a very unique place and very interesting to see. As many have mentioned it is like a museum of African history - Alan's recall of all his collection is impressive. One of the main reasons to stay here is to get Alan to give you a tour (with your drink of choice in hand!) - but allow a few hours to really do it justice.
Alan's staff provide very good personal service with very good meals served in a variety of different spaces in the house depending on weather conditions. The house is located very handy to the airport and is very quiet being set well back from Mombasa Road.
The rooms are all pretty unique and interesting as well as spacious. Ours had an open air bathroom which was still pretty functional. Mosquitoes can be a problem so be prepared. The beds are a bit small being antique frames around the size of a modern double bed. Electricity may not be available overnight but this tends not to be a big deal i think. There is no aircon or fans but there is good natural ventilation mosquitoes not withstanding.
If you have one or two nights to spend in Nairobi and want a unique experience then this a great alternative to formulaic hotels.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- The African Heritage House overlooking the Nairobi National Parkis described by the prestigious Architectural Digest as " a vision of usefulness informed by the African genius for decoration" Designed by American Alan Donovan, the house is a combination of architectural styles from across the continent. Tours of the house interior reveal the beauty of Africa's art and crafts. ... more less

If dairy producers could see inside their cows' rumen, they'd notice the environment can fluctuate throughout the day. In fact, it fluctuates quite frequently and for long periods of time. The time spent below a pH of 6.0 is known as Sub Acute Rumen Acidosis (SARA).
While individual cows do not always show immediate or overt signs, SARA is always present. In fact, costs from SARA are estimated at $1.12 per cow daily, making it recognized as the most important nutritional issue of dairy cattle on a herd basis, says Anthony Hall, MSc MSB, PAS, Technical Services, Ruminant, with Lallemand Animal Nutrition.
"This period of time is important because a pH of less than 6 has negative effects on ruminal cellulolytic bacterial activity and fiber digestion," Hall says. "In fact, studies have shown that the rumen environment can be exposed to SARA for up to 11.8 hours daily that's almost a half a day with impaired digestion."
Even cattle fed total mixed rations (TMRs) and in-feed dietary buffers like sodium bicarbonate are at risk depending on an individual cow's meal pattern, he notes.
"A cow's rumen pH will vary throughout the day, which can lead to changes in the rumen microbiota and damage the rumen wall," Hall says. "This can mean losses in milk production and feed efficiency. Plus, once cows experience SARA, they can become more susceptible to it if challenged again."
SARA is recognized as a herd syndrome, but the risk is not the same for all cows. There are a number of factors that will predispose fresh cows, early-lactation, high-yielding and mid-lactation cows to SARA in any herd. Probiotic feed additives that improve rumen function and increase fiber digestion — like Levucell SC — can help maximize rumen function in all life stages of dairy cattle.
"Optimizing rumen function can help the modern dairy cow stay ahead of SARA," Hall notes. "The benefits to producers can add up to more than just peanuts."

Cool I want it now when will it drop
Not available for early intel macs. Core2Duo and beyond will work, but not macs made ~2006 with Core Duo
This is bulls$&t. I have just left Australia where I had 500gig per month download and now I live on an island in the south pacific that only offers me 4gig per month. I need physical copies!!!!! Not a download
I don't understand... Does this mean that the Mac will never come with OS X Lion pre-installed? Or will Apple make this the only way to get OS X Lion?
So a company shouldn't charge anything for anything, right? Everything should be free? How much would you like them to charge?
An no one said you "need" to upgrade. If you "want" to upgrade it's $30...
I'd like a brand new "upgraded" car - should it be free?

Last week's article on ways that stock photographers are missing out on sales mentioned "Imagery that is not relevant" among the top 5 reasons for low sales results. What imagery is that? And the moment of truth…Is your photography relevant? Frequently, we publish 10x10 portfolios of photographers who know how to shoot relevant images and have a clear and well defined style of shooting. Surely those photographers that still haven't reached those shooting levels must be analyzing what differentiates their not relevant photography to those 10x10´s in order to improve their photography, right? Wrong!Editing today is sometimes frustrating when the "point & shoot" without the backing of relevancy is repeated time after time. If there is no idea, no intention and no reason for clients to use your images, shooting is playing lottery: you'll shoot a lot and fortune may smile once in a while. If there is an idea, an intention and a reason for clients to use your images, shooting is making an investment: you'll shoot a lot and will earn more interest the more images you have in the bank.Admittedly, many shooters today are not trying to run a business, but even if just shooting images in your free time and placing them with a stock agency one would expect some regular sales… otherwise, why shoot images anyway? However, if you regularly shoot images with little relevancy like these below, it is clear that your photography has room for improvement.
Here are some solutions though, because relevancy doesn't have to be the lost grail!5 Steps to Relevancy
Think about what your images can illustrate.
Consider whether you have seen better images of the same or similar situations.
Try to analyze what your images are missing compared with other, better ones, of the same subject.
Find one that you like and that is clearly better than anything you have done and decide if your photography is weakened by use of the wrong lens, poor lighting of the zone you are photographing, lack of a clear point of interest, a bad camera angle in relation to the subject or bad cropping. Now try to take your next shot "marinating in your mind" the image you like.
Try not to be a combination of Ansel Adams, Henry Cartier Bresson and Richard Avedon together in one image. Instead, focus on analyzing and practicing one distinctive style.
The lack of a purposely practiced shooting style directly impacts the quality of the images that I see daily. I know that in the end, it triggers certain shooters to take their photos on these non-exclusive pilgrimages, from RM to RF and LBRF and then finally ending at microstock, because at 14 cents, almost everything can be sold, eventually.
Now, leaving aside the question of relevancy, image editors sometimes find another problem. Indecisive individuals with good photographic practices that use their imagination, have good technique, know what can interest clients and resolve well many photographic themes, but, ooh la la, at the last moment the photographer's dilemma appears: which one of the 20 shots below is the good one? Maybe my agency can resolve the dilemma for me, the photographer might think.
And there is a reason for that though, because for some portals with a few more millions of images than age fotostock (and less sophisticated searching software), the good trick is to send 5 or 6 equals because among so many millions with basically the same keywords (Italy, Venetia, dusk, blue, etc., etc.) how else will the images be seen if no miracle occurs and the photographer isn't one sending images every week? Quantity of equals is the key. However, at age fotostock, 20 equal images will be returned with a note saying: "edit your work tightly…" Therefore, it becomes just another way of delaying your images appearance on the web… which is another way of losing income. Because the faster the images go live on the web, the more sale possibilities you have.
The number of images received from photographers the first working week of 2011 has decreased by 6.16% compared with the same week in 2010; however, the number of photographers sending images has increased by 61.61%. In other words, we see more photographers sending smaller selections of images, more frequently. Is something changing?
Our acceptance rate has also increased, growing from 36.05% to 47.17% during the same time period. Clients want to see new content everyday and among some photographers, quality is increasing. If the acceptance rate for any submission sent to us is over 47.17%, you are actually doing very well. Congratulations!!
However, one wonders, how can photographers possibly think that selections of dull and uninteresting images like these below have good sale possibilities? The old rule in stock photography has always been "Color, color, color, and more color." Are certain photographers suffering from color blindness?
There is another kind of color blindness that we observe among other photographers. Time and time again, they send us underexposed images like the ones below. Are they working with the correct screen gamma?
Understand that if your images don't have well-photographed and interesting subjects with strong color and saturation, they won't sell. A surprisingly high number of photographers don't take the time to finish and polish their work.
I think it's time to wake up, Friends, because I must say: many of the photographers sending images for age fotostock, and surprisingly, for easyFotostock, understand color very well. Their images are highly saturated and colorful, probably something that some of them have learned in the highly competitive microstock market.
Well, Photographers, not all is lost, at least many shooters have learned to create bright and highly colorful images. Why not all of you?

This is a story of community revival.
Wire fences could be seen everywhere in the community, showing a unfriendly attitude
to the society. People pass by, without any precious memories. But I insist that these fences could be beautiful. I try to explore the potential magic of the cold partitions. The museum, as a platform of Latin American culture, encloses the fences into the building, letting them playing an important role of the exhibition. Flowers, photographs, creative objects and the love letters from the kids to their parents… all these beautiful moments could happen on the wire nets.

On March 16, 2012 Dr. Melvyn C. Goldstein, the J.R. Harkness Professor of Anthropology and Co-Director of the Center for Research on Tibet, participated in a Roundtable Panel titled "A Quarter Century of Fieldwork in Tibet: A Panel in Honor of Melvyn Goldstein" at the Association of Asian Studies Annual Meeting in Toronto.
Abstract Roundtable Panel:
Melvyn Goldstein has led a life of scholarly "firsts", starting in 1968 with earning the first Ph.D. in Tibetan anthropology in the United States. Having first visited Tibet in 1985, he signed the first research agreement with the Tibetan Academy of Social Sciences in 1986, and was the first western anthropologist to do fieldwork in the Tibetan Autonomous Region. His histories of modern Tibet are monuments in the field, and his A History of Modern Tibet, 1913-1951: The Demise of the Lamaist State is the only book on a Tibetan topic to have been awarded recognition by the Association of Asian Studies. He was also an early scholar to publish on Tibet in the Journal of Asian Studies. He is Co-Director of The Center for Research on Tibet at Case Western Reserve University, which was founded in 1987.
Given the wealth of his experiences in Tibet for over a quarter century, he led the panel by discussing some of the changes and challenges in the practice of anthropology in Tibet. One of the central problems the panel considered is just how one can do anthropological research in Tibet: What are the limitations? How has the situation changed over the years? What are the differences between different regions of Tibet? And what we might expect for the future? Another topic for discussion was the overlapping role of history and anthropology in Tibetan studies. Scholars from Europe, the United States and China addressed these and other issues that arose in the discussions. Panelists: Bejor (Ben Jiao), Geoff Childs, Sienna Craig, Hildegard Diemberger, Melvyn Goldstein, Paul Neitupski and Charlene Makley.
Dr. Cynthia Beall, Distinguished University Professor and Sarah Idell Pyle Professor of Anthropology, gave the Pearl Memorial Lecture at the 37th Annual Meeting of the Human Biology Association at Portland, Oregon on April 11, 2012. In her lecture, "Fifty years of research on high-altitude adaptation in anthropology: Instrumentation advances, research designs and selected discoveries", Dr. Beall provided an overview of her transformative work on alternative patterns of adaptation to high altitude hypoxia in populations around the world. her talk followed a plenary session, "A Half Century of High-Altitude Studies in Anthropology."
Dr. Eileen Anderson-Fye has secured funding for the pilot phase of a new research project she is running on Global Fat Stigma. Anderson-Fye developed the project in partnership with Dr. Alexandra Brewis and a team of researchers at Arizona State University. The project investigates the communal and individual levels of obesity stigmatization around the world with a specific focus on upward mobility in the developing world. Graduate and undergraduate students will be collecting mixed-methods data in 8-12 international sites during summer 2012.
The CWRU Anthropology Global Fat Stigma team is funded by the Office of International Affairs and the Office of the Dean. In addition, two undergraduates will be funded by the Plimpton Experiential Learning Fellowship through the Department of Anthropology. Graduate student Stephanie McClure will be leading data collection in Jamaica along with one of the Plimpton Experiential Learning Fellowship recipients, Brittany Ratliff. Matriculating doctoral student Maureen Floriano will be conducting data collection in Belize with Dr. Anderson-Fye. The other Plimpton Experiential Learning Fellowship recipient, Arundhati Bharati, will return to Nepal for data collection. Planning for additional sites with graduate and undergraduate students is currently under way.
The Department is very pleased to announce that Dr. Lihong Shi will be joining the faculty in the 2013 – 2014 academic year. Dr. Shi received her Ph.D. in Anthropology from Tulane University in 2009. Following Postdoctoral Fellowships at the Heyman Center for the Humanities at Columbia University and then at the Fairbanks Center for Chinese Studies at Harvard, she was awarded a two year American Council of Learned Societies Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Department of Anthropology at Washington University in St. Louis.
Dr. Shi's research focusses on the social and economic responses of rural Chinese families to the One Child Policy and the later modification of that policy which allowed rural families to have a second child if their first child was a girl.

These lectures are possible through the generous support of Mr. Jonathan Plimpton, Managing Director, International Business Management, Inc. and a 1970 graduate of Anthropology at Western Reserve College.
In April the Department of Anthropology, the Schubert Center for Child Studies and the Alpha Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa co-sponsored a Phi Beta Kappa Visiting Scholar, Dr. Richard Shweder. Dr. Shweder, a cultural anthropologist and the William Claude Reavis Distinguished Service Professor of Human Development at the University of Chicago, gave a public lecture titled "When Cultures Collide: The Moral Challenge in Cultural Migration."
Dr. Richard Shweder
William Claude Reavis Distinguished Service Professor of Human Development
University of Chicago
His lecture examined a series of legal and moral questions about the proper response to norm conflict between mainstream populations and cultural minority groups in the United States, with special reference to a famous Supreme Court Case concerning the prosecution of Amish families in Wisconsin for refusing to send their children to high school. Dr. Shweder also met with several undergraduate classes and held a seminar with anthropology graduate students.
Dr. Eileen Anderson-Fye was awarded the 2012 John S. Diekhoff Award for Distinguished Graduate Student Mentoring. This is awarded annually to two faculty members that have made exemplary contributions to graduate students through advising and mentoring. She has also been nominated for The Carl F. Wittke Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching, an award presented annually to two faculty members who have demonstrated excellence in undergraduate teaching.
Dr. Anderson-Fye and Dr. Jill Korbin, associate dean and director of the Schubert Center for Child Studies, served as editors of a special December edition of Ethos. The edited publication covers bridging research, practice and policy with regard to adolescent well-being. Anderson-Fye was Associate Editor of the Encyclopedia of Body Image and Human Appearance (Elsevier Press, 2012), she authored a chapter on "Anthropological Approaches to the Study of Body Image Human Appearance," and she co-authored "Race, Ethnicity, and Body Image" with Stephanie McClure (CWRU doctoral candidate) and Maurita Poole (Emory University).
In addition to Dr. Gaines editing his Cultural Studies of Science and Medicine series, he will begin editing a second book series from Springer called Millennial Medical Anthropology.
Dr. Gaine's and Dr. Eric Juengst's article, "Origin Myths in Bioethics: Constructing Sources, Motives and Reason in Bioethic(s)", was cited as the Number 1 article in the field of Bioethics worldwide since its publication in September of 2008 in Culture, Medicine and Psychiatry, as ranked by BioMedLib's multifactorial scoring algorithm system.
Dr. Melvyn Goldstein will receive the 2012 Frank and Dorothy Hovorka Prize at the upcoming commencement. This prize is awarded annually to recognize exceptional achievement by an active member of the faculty whose accomplishments in teaching, research and scholarly service have benefited the community, the nation and the world. Honorary Trustee Dorothy Humel Hovorka established this prize in 1994 in memory of her late husband, Frank, who was for many years a leading member of the university's Department of Chemistry and an international authority in the field of electrochemistry.
Drs. Yohannes Haile-Selassie, Bruce Latimer and other colleagues, published a paper in the journal Nature, March 2012 titled "A new hominon foot from Ethiopia shows multiple Pliocene bipedal adaptations." This paper was an analysis of the February 2009 discovery of a 3.4 million-year-old partial foot that was found in the Woranso-Mille area of the Afar region of Ethiopia. Although this specimen came from the same area as the famous "Lucy" species, it did not belong to the same species, confirming the exciting discovery that two human ancestors co-existed during that same period. You can find out more about the discovery on the website for The Cleveland Museum of Natural History.
Dr. Bruce Latimer recently gave a Keynote speech, "The Perils of Being Bipedal," at the annual luncheon of the American Association of Physical Anthropology's 2012 annual meeting in Portland, Orgeon. He was also director of a meeting supported by the National Evolutionary Synthesis Center (NESCent) held in Durham, North Carolina this past March, entitled "The Perils of Being Bipedal: an Evolutionary Perspective on Human Musculoskeletal Disorders."
This summer, he will be leading a group of students from Case to Israel to work in a new cave site called Manot. Manot Cave, located in the western Galilee, has been under investigation since 2008. The expected contributions of the Manot project in the coming years will be in sketching Upper Palaeolithic human migrations in the Old World, with an emphasis on the relationshsips between Near Eastern and European populations, and their relationship with the Neanderthals.
Manot Cave
In September 2011, Dr. Charlotte Ikels served as the discussant for a panel on "Anthropogical History and Historical Anthropology" at a a symposium on "Ethnographic Histories/Historical Ethnographies: On Chinese Ground" sponsored by the Harvard University Asia Center.
She also delivered two talks this spring. The first was a seminar presentation to the Department of Public Health at the University of Oxford on February 22, 2012. The talk was entitled "Bioethics in China: The Origins and State of the Field." The second was at the Harvard-China Fogarty Conference on "Psychiatry and Mental Health in China: Challenges for the Next Decade" sponsored by the Department of Global Health and Social Medicine at Harvard Medical School on March 23, 2012. Her talk was one of three on the topic of mental health care for the elderly and was entitled "Perspectives on Mental Health Care for the Elderly: The View from the Street."
Kristi Ninnemann and Allison Schlosser were awarded the Eva L. Pancoast Memorial Fellowship Award.
Ariel Cascio has been selected for a U.S. Student Fulbright award for 2012-2013 to Italy. The Fulbright Award will support Ariel's dissertation research entitled "Psychiatries and Subjectivities Cross-Culturally: The Case of Autism Spectrum Disorders in Northern Italy."
Sarah Koopman-Gonzalez
Sarah Koopman-Gonzalez was a recipient of the Ruth Barber Moon award. This award is given to a graduate student who has demonstrated academic promise and leadership abilities.
Sarah Rubin
Sarah Rubin received two awards: The Richard A. Zdanis Research Fellowship award of 2011-2012 and The Arts and Sciences Dissertation Fellowship award. These awards were granted for support of her dissertation work on motherhood and emotional distress in a South African township.
Allison Schlosser will be completing a six-month pilot dissertation project that was funded by two awards: an NSF Research Experience for Graduates award and a Baker-Nord Center for the Humanities Graduate Research award. The project uses ethnographic methods to explore how clients in long-term residential addiction treatment configure their identities in relation to diverse treatment approaches, and how clients experience their identities and health risk behaviors during post-treatment transitions.
Allison was a co-guest editor with Kristi Ninnemann on a section entitled "The Anthropology of Psychopharmaceuticals: Cultural and Pharmacological Efficacies in Context" in Culture, Medicine, and Psychiatry. The section was published in the March 2012 issue and includes her article, co-authored with Dr. Lee Hoffer, "The Psychotropic Self/Imaginary: The Subjectivity and Psychopharmaceutical Use Among Heroin Users with Co-Occurring Mental Illness."
In March, she also co-organized a session entitled "Emerging Drug Ethnography: Exploring Drugs and Drug Use at the Borderlands" with Stacey McKenna (UC-Denver) for the Society for Applied Anthropology conference. She presented her paper, "The Social Life of Suboxone Across Institutional and Community Boundaries" (co-authored with Dr. Lee Hoffer) during the session.
Finally, Allison will be co-presenting a paper with Josh Roiland (SAGES) entitled "A Fourth Way to Tell the Story: Ethnography in Literary Journalism and Anthropology" at the International Association for Literary Journalism Studies conference in Toronto in May.

Michelle is currently a graduate research assistant for the Research Association for Public Health Improvement (Ohio's Public Health Practice Based Research Network, which is connected with the MPH Program at CWRU) and will become the Project Coordinator after graduation.
Phoebe Edwards and Jasmine Khan spent much of spring semester in Ethiopia working on the paleoanthropological project of Dr. Yohannes Haile-Selassie, Curator of Physical Anthropology at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History. The following account of their experience was written by Phoebe:
"Anthropology 370 is a course that allows students to participate in paleoanthropology field research in the Afar region of Ethiopia. We worked as part of the Woranso-Mille project, which is led by Dr. Yohannes Haile-Selassie, and has yielded significant hominin specimens, such as the Kadanuumuu partial skeleton of Australopithecus afarensis. For the duration of the field season we camped in the Afar and spent each day collecting fossils from different localities within the project boundaries. This included both hominin and non-hominin specimens, where the latter are used to understand the taxonomic diversity and distribution in the area, and to reconstruct the paleoenvironment. At the end of the field season we returned to Ethiopia's capital, Addis Ababa, where we worked at the National Museum of Ethiopia organizing and labeling the fossils we collected that season along with other preparation work such as assembling fragmented fossils and removing stone matrix from the bone. The entire course gave us a great deal of hands on experience in paleontology field and laboratory work—not to mention an amazing opportunity to be a part of a current, important hominin project."
Omar Gutierrez
Omar Gutierrez will either begin his medical studies at Harvard Medical School or, if he is funded, investigate strategies to improve health outcomes among tuberculosis patients with severe mental illness in South Africa.
Rishi Sood
Rishi Sood will be working as a Program Analyst in the Office of Planning and Program Analysis at the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. He will be assigned to different divisions within the health department to work to improve their operations and project management.

Three Faculty/Staff Members Honored as Tri-County's Educators of the Year
(By Lisa Garrett)
PENDLETON --- Three faculty/staff members have been honored as Tri-County Technical College's Educators of the Year and will be recognized at the South Carolina Technical Education Association (SCTEA) meeting in February.
Dr. Brian Swords, director of the Easley Campus and QuickJobs Training Centers, is the College's outstanding administrator; Deborah Brock, instructor in Medical Laboratory Technology and faculty development liaison, is the outstanding instructor; and Stephanie Winkler, coordinator of Disabilities Services, is the outstanding staff nominee.
SCTEA is a professional association of technical education personnel and others interested in post-secondary technical education.
A 20-year employee of the College, Dr. Swords currently serves as director of the Easley Campus, as well as the QuickJobs Training Centers in Anderson, Easley and Seneca and the Watkins Center classroom/lab facilities in Honea Path.
In addition, much of last year he spent coordinating and overseeing a new matriculation (enrollment) process that focuses on student success and student engagement. Those efforts helped to earn him the College's 2013 Staff Excellence award. Nominations from his peers lauded his work on the new matriculation process that focuses on proper assessment, registration for the right courses during students' first semester and a support system in place to help the students throughout their college career.
He continues to work with team members to implement processes and facilities changes and to expand engagement opportunities with students through fall 2014.
He is among the 10 pilot mentors for the new Twenty/20 program that launched last fall. Twenty20 is a mentoring and personal relationship-building program aimed at improving student retention.
He is an active member of the community as well, working with the Pickens County School District to create innovative partnerships that use resources on Tri-County's Easley Campus, as well as facilities owned by the school district.
He serves as chairman of the Greater Easley Chamber of Commerce, is an active member of the Easley Rotary Club, is chairman of the Junior Leadership Pickens County Board of Directors and is a member of the Board of Visitors at Southern Wesleyan University. He recently was named to the Leadership SC Class of 2014.
He has been an adjunct faculty member at Tri-County for the last 17 years, teaching courses in business, management, marketing and computer technology. He is also an adjunct at Southern Wesleyan University and Anderson University, teaching graduate and undergraduate classes in educational administration.
The Pickens County native joined the College in 1993 as a student services specialist in the registrar's office and later worked as admissions team leader and coordinator of admissions processes and technology for the admissions office. After serving as coordinator of computer training for the College's Business Training Center, he became director of operations for the Corporate and Community Education Division. While in that position, in 2009, he coordinated and taught the College's first apprenticeship class making Tri-County the first technical college in the State to have a registered customer service apprenticeship through Apprenticeship Carolina.
Dr. Swords holds an undergraduate degree in Business Administration from Southern Wesleyan University and a master's in Technology and Human Resource Development and doctorate degree in Vocational and Technical College Administration from Clemson University.
Dr. Swords lives in Liberty.
Brock joined the College in 2006 as an instructor for the Medical Laboratory Technology (MLT) department. She also serves as the faculty advisor to the student chapter of the Future Laboratory Professionals Organization and is a regular presenter at state and national conferences focusing on topics that promote student success in the field of medical laboratory technology.
Last May she was honored with the highest award presented to the faculty. She received the Presidential Medallion for Instructional Excellence at the College's spring commencement.
Brock continues her professional development by attending the Clinical Laboratory Educators conference annually. She also attends the Carolinas Clinical Connection each year and is often a presenter at both conferences.
In 2009 she was elected president of the SC Society of Clinical Laboratory Sciences and represented the state at the national and regional levels. She also served as Area I Director and Student Forum Chair for the organization. She is a recipient of the regional Omicron Sigma Award for Outstanding Service in the medical lab field. She also attended and presented at the League for Innovation in Community Colleges in Dallas last year.
In her role as faculty liaison for professional development, Brock is instrumental in coordinating faculty development at Tri-County. She manages professional development opportunities and coordinates new faculty orientations.
On campus she coordinates the South Carolina Medical Laboratory Technology Student Bowl, a statewide competition between MLT students. She is a site visitor for the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences, the accrediting body for MLT programs. She also authored the most recent MLT self study, an extensive document required for the reaccreditation process, which resulted in full reaffirmation with no deficiencies.
Her publications have appeared in Advance and the ASCLS newsletter, Clinical Laboratory Science and Laboratory Medicine.
She holds B.S. and B.A. degrees in chemistry from Texas Woman's University, a Medical Technologist certificate from Baptist Medical Center in San Antonio, and a master of Health Sciences degree -- Advanced Generalist in Medical Technology -- from the Medical University of South Carolina.

Working as Disabilities Coordinator since 2011, Winkler spends much of her time on the telephone or in student meetings, educating new students and parents, along with high school groups, about the College's resources that are available to help students with disabilities. She provides students who have a qualifying disability with equal access in their educational programs.
She's taken the lead on two major College projects this year -- opening the new veterans center and co-designing and implementing the new Twenty20 mentoring and personal relationship-building program that kicked off last fall.
Winkler teamed with Dean of Students Dan Holland to design a Twenty20 program for Tri-County that is similar to the positive experiences they had as college freshmen. Twenty members of Tri-County's faculty and staff each serve as "Twenty20 coaches" for twenty students to improve student retention and success. This initiative supports the institutional goal of increasing student retention. A pilot program began last fall with 10 coaches teamed with 20 students each.
She also worked to create a veterans center that offers assistance with enrollment processes, resources and is a place to hang out and talk. Patriots' Place opened on Veterans Day 2013 on Tri-County's Pendleton Campus. In addition, a licensed professional counselor will be available by appointment to give counseling to combat veterans. There are more than 200 veterans on all of Tri-County's campuses.
Winkler has a B.A. in Politics from Converse College and earned a Juris Doctorate in 2005 from Appalachian School of Law in Virginia. She was a law clerk to Judge Roger Couch from 2005 - 2006. The next year, she began working as was an attorney for the Hawkins Law Firm where she stayed until 2009 when she opened her own law practice, The Winkler Law Firm, in Anderson.

Tarentum man who was run over is improving; son released
A Tarentum man who was accidentally run over by a slow-moving SUV on Thursday was improving Friday.
John Flatt, 34, of East 10th Avenue, was listed in fair condition in UPMC Presbyterian hospital, Pittsburgh. He was flown there in serious condition on Thursday.
His son, Calib Flatt, 5, was released from Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh on Friday.
Police said Flatt was in front of the SUV when he bent down to pick up his son's shoe.
The SUV's driver, Hope Vickers, Flatt's mother-in-law, was distracted by a younger grandchild in a child safety seat and the SUV moved slowly forward in a parking lot off of Mill Street, police said.
Flatt was able to push Calib out of the way, but Flatt was struck by the slow-moving vehicle.

After what promises to be three days of tough racing to sort the men from the boys, Ambush will be on the start line for the VinaCapital Hong Kong to Vietnam Race. Isler is race ready… 'the offshore to Vietnam is unbeatable if you fancy fast paced downwind racing in warm weather'.

Posted 06/01/2012
With slice of life comedy anime K-ON!'s final volume reelased on Monday, our thoughts have begun to turn towards its box set release, with distributor Manga Entertainment previously outlining their plans to bring this box set to the UK on both DVD and Blu-Ray, following the release of all of its individual volumes as DVD only.
However, we've now received definitive confirmation from Manga Entertainment's press partner The Associates that the forthcoming K-ON box set will definitely not be getting a UK release on Blu-Ray, with only a DVD box set now scheduled for an unspecified date (expected to be some time in April).
Given the repeated promises of a Blu-Ray release for the series in box set form, this will doubtless be hugely disappointing to those who have waited patiently to pick up the series in High Definition this year, and it strikes another blow for the viability of TV anime series receiving UK Blu-Ray releases in the future following a number of similarly high profile cancellations over the past eighteen months. We're yet to have any word from Manga Entertainment as to the reason for this decision, although we'd imagine that either sales figures or the cost of creating a Blu-Ray box set for the UK are the major factors.
UPDATE: It's now also confirmed by Anime News Network that the UK Blu-Ray release of The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya has also been cancelled, with the reason for both cancellations cited by Manga Entertainment as being economic on account of the cost of remastering and manufacturing the titles.
What are your thoughts on the news that K-ON is now unlikely to reach the UK on Blu-Ray? Will you be buying the DVD box set in its stead? Let us know your opinions in our comments section below.
UPDATE 14:30: Jerome @ Manga Entertainment has issued an apology for the cancellations via Twitter citing financial issues for both of the cancellations.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I was arrested on Jan 15th, and won my case in trial on march 27th which was yesterday.. Can anyone talk to me about my case and call me please?
First, these are very tough, complicated cases. Whenever you sue the government, you have to overcome certain governmental immunities. Also, the relevant law (both state and federal) is fairly complex.
Second, because of the difficulties associated with these types of cases, you will be hard-pressed to find an attorney who is willing to take your case on a contingency fee. Many people assume that a contingency fee arrangement is standard for all plaintiffs. That is not the case. This is not a personal injury matter. In short, if you want to pursue this, you need to be prepared to pay the costs of litigation and attorneys' fees.
Finally, turning to the law: Cases like this can be pursued under a number of legal theories. There are state law claims for false arrest and malicious prosecution. Then there are federal claims for deprivation of civil rights (1983 action). At a minimum, you will need to establish that there was no probable cause for your arrest.
Jonathan Pollard
My response to this question is a response to a hypothetical situation based on limited facts. I am not your attorney; you are not my client and we do not have an attorney-client relationship. If you need a lawyer, you should contact one in your area. If you would like to talk with me about your case, you can call my office.Ask a similar question
Simply because you were found not guilty at trial does not mean that the police did not have probable cause to arrest you in the first place. Probable cause to arrest requires much less proof (or in this case suspicion) of wrong-doing than the burden the state has to prove your guilt beyond every reasonable doubt at trial. Talk to an attorney that is experienced in Section 1983 litigation and have him or her evaluate your case.
An attorney-client relationship is NOT created by the answering of this question. If you would like to discuss your matter more fully with my office, please contact me to set up an initial consultation.Ask a similar question
I'd like to know more about your case. I grew up in Volusia county and am familiar with several examples of unlawful police conduct that I was made aware of by old friends who have served in law enforcement. Call my office for a consultation.Ask a similar question

ABC is being criticized for celebrating
Sam Champion's weekend marriage to Rubem Robierb.
Champion, the weather anchor for Good
Morning America (GMA), and photographer Robierb married Friday in
New York City.
The wedding was reported on Friday and
Monday on GMA and on Saturday on ABC's World News Tonight.
Those reports did not sit well with
conservative site Newsbusters.org.
"No one in America opposes gay
marriage, apparently," Tim Graham noted.
Graham incorrectly pointed to a GMA
segment in which the cast congratulated Champion on his engagement.
"On Friday morning before the event,
the praise bottle was already opened," Graham noted pointing to the
segment which originally ran in October.
On Monday, Lara Spencer, who attended
the ceremony, called it "great news" and "the best news of
World News Tonight's Dan Harris
shared the news with a photo from the event, saying "Big
congratulations to Sam and Rubem tonight."
Comments on the story at
were decidedly mixed, with just as many people congratulating the
happy couple as condemning homosexuality.

Johannesburg - Remnants of burnt candles on the ground are the only reminders of a brutal crime in an Ekurhuleni township.
Lodged between two walls - a house and perimeter wall - is the spot where 26-year-old lesbian Duduzile Zozo was found murdered on the morning of June 29 at her neighbour's house in Thokoza.
Her own house is only about 10m away.
When her body was found, there was no bleeding, no bruises on the body, no strangulation marks around the neck and no signs of a struggle at the scene.
Her killers had shoved a toilet brush up her vagina.
Her mother Thuziwe believes her daughter's murder was committed by homophobes.
Touched and enraged by Zozo's death, the DA, led by its parliamentary leader Lindiwe Mazibuko, visited the family on Monday and laid a wreath where the murdered woman was discovered.
Mazibuko also listened to Zozo's friend, who said she lay where she was discovered for some time before the police finally arrived on the scene.
Bianca Laban, a transgender, told Mazibuko about the difficulties of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people in Thokoza, saying it wasn't safe for them.
"What hurts is that it isn't the first time that one of us is killed, and we don't know what will happen after the burial. Gays and lesbians aren't safe and I can't run away from where I stay," Laban said.
Mazibuko said Zozo's mother was in a lot of pain and having a horrible time thinking of the violent way in which her daughter died.
She also said it was heart-breaking that the LGBT community were being treated as second-class citizens in their own country, whereas they had a right to live however they pleased as their rights were enshrined in the constitution.
She said the LGBT community should not have to be afraid of walking the streets at night for fear of violent acts perpetrated against them.
"I promise that we from the DA will do everything we can to bring to the government's attention the plight of the LGBT community. We will do what we can to tell Duduzile's story again and again, and also to honour those who died violently."
Mazibuko, flanked by the party's Free State leader, Patricia Kopane, said corrective rape was a huge problem, borne out of patriarchal perceptions.
She added that the government was not doing enough to address the issue.
The closest the government had come to doing something, she said, was when the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development set up a task team to examine the issue of corrective rape. But nothing had come of it.
"We need to address the stereotypical belief at the heart of this crime," she added.
No one has been arrested for Zozo's murder.
