Malaria Survey in the Tak Province Refugee Camps
- Full Text View

- How to Read a Study Record
According to the World Malaria Report, there were significant decreases in the number of P.falciparum (PF) malaria cases worldwide in the past decade. On the Thai-Myanmar border where transmission is low and seasonal and where incidence of Multi-drugs resistant P.falciparum parasites is the highest, the same trend has been observed with a clear decline in malaria episodes and the ratio of P. falciparum/P. vivax (PF/PV.
Economic development, unprecedented financial support, renewed efforts in vector control, a wider use of rapid diagnosic tests (RDTs) for malaria and the deployment of artemisinin based combination treatments (ACT) are the main contributing factors to those successes against malaria.
However the emergence in Cambodia and on the Thai-Myanmar border of P.falciparum isolates that exhibit resistance to artesunate is threatening those gains . This is characterized by a slow parasite clearance rate observed in patients treated with artesunate.
At the same time, recent SMRU surveys along the Thai-Burmese border using a new cutting-edge technology i.e. highly sensitive quantitative Real Time PCR (RT-PCR) able to detect very low parasitaemia (10 parasites per ml), found up to a 3-5 fold increase in the prevalence of malaria compared to what is found with the usual diagnostic tools such as microscopy, RDT or even conventional PCR.
It seems that a large number of asymptomatic carriers with very low parasites counts (a large potential malaria reservoir) go undetected. If confirmed, this might pose the greatest obstacle for malaria elimination in the region and containment of artemisinin resistance.
The purpose of the survey is to further study and understand the epidemiology of malaria in the refugee camp population using cutting-edge technology (RT-PCR) .

I wish to announce that the Australian Government has decided to allow the export of uranium to India, subject to strict conditions. I have today informed Prime Minister Singh of this decision, which he welcomed.
This change in policy is subject to: ⢠conclusion of a suitable safeguards agreement between India and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) covering all designated civil nuclear facilities; ⢠conclusion by India of an Additional Protocol on strengthened
safeguards; ⢠a consensus decision by the Nuclear Suppliers Group to make an exception to its guidelines enabling international civil supply to India; ⢠conclusion of a bilateral civil nuclear co-operation agreement between
India and the United States; and ⢠satisfactory progress in implementing India's commitment to place designated civil nuclear facilities under IAEA safeguards in perpetuity.
Australian uranium supply to India would also be conditional on the conclusion of a bilateral Australia-India safeguards agreement providing assurances that Australian uranium would remain in peaceful uses at all times, supported by satisfactory verification arrangements to ensure that no Australian nuclear materials supplied to India would contribute to any military purpose.
India is the world's largest democracy, an increasingly influential regional power and an important potential strategic partner for Australia. This decision is one key element of a comprehensive package of measures the Government is taking to strengthen this important relationship. Contingent on the conditions above being met, it will be of significant economic and strategic advantage to
both countries.
In Australia it will create increased exports and jobs over the longer term. The industry already generates $658 million annually in exports, and India will be a large and growing market. India's requirement for reliable, clean sources of
energy is growing rapidly. India will build 11 new reactors to triple her energy generation from nuclear power and is projected to need up to 12,000 tonnes of uranium per annum to 2032.
Assisting India to meet her rapidly growing energy needs using low emission energy sources such as nuclear power will make a huge contribution to reducing global greenhouse emissions. The use of nuclear power today already reduces global emissions by more than 2 billion tonnes a year.
As well as assisting India to pursue economic development while addressing environmental challenges, the decision recognises India's strong non-proliferation record and will help to bring India more fully into the non-proliferation mainstream.

Obama is morally unfit to hold the office of President.
08/09/2012 13 Comments
Russ Steele
The Investor's Business Daily has a summary of a despicable Obama ad.
Unable to run on his record, President Hope-and-Change has built a campaign based entirely on scurrilous lies about Mitt Romney. But the latest reaches a historic, despicable low.
That ad features a man claiming that after Bain Capital closed his steel plant, he lost his job and his insurance, and shortly thereafter his wife died of cancer.
Even it were true, trying to blame Romney for his wife's death defies credulity. But the facts are all wrong.
Romney had left Bain to run the summer Olympics two years before Joe Soptic lost his job in 2001. And his wife had her own job and insurance at that time. She later took a disability leave and lost her coverage, and her cancer was apparently symptom-free until she checked into a hospital for pneumonia in 2006.
The ad, sponsored by an Obama "super-PAC" was too much even for the in-the-Obama-tank press. CNN's Wolf Blitzer called it "a pretty outrageous claim," and Sam Stein of the Obama-worshipping Huffington Post said it went "too far."
The Obama campaign has refused to denounce the ad, which is understandable, since when you lie as often as it does, the lines of propriety start to get blurry. [Emphasis added]
It is becoming clear that Obama is not only intellectually, but also morally unfit to hold the office of President. We can expect 89 more days of lies. Obama cannot run on his record, so he is executing a campaign destroy the character if Mitt Romney, and in the process is destroying his own credibility as a leader. He is morally corrupt!

KENT COUNTY, Mich. - A startling discovery was made by a Kent County man when he walked into his adult daughter's bedroom. He found 27 cats inside the room, only a handful of them were adults and the rest were kittens.
Watch: Pontiac man devotes life to saving cats
The dad said he knew there were a lot of cats outside the home, but was surprised so many were living in the small bedroom without his knowing. The homeowner's adult daughter had left for a few days when he decided to look inside. Before, he had respected her privacy.
--One of the cats rescued from inside a Kent County home
Officials with the Humane Society of Western Michigan described the home as being a single-story ranch style and well-kept. The cats inside were contained to the woman's room – and the smell was not apparent until her bedroom door was opened.

Some of the rescued cats are thin and appeared to suffer from malnutrition. But overall they look quite healthy.
The humane society is accepting cash donations to help with medical care. All the cats will be spayed or neutered and vaccinated. Many will be ready for adoption as early as next week. Those interested in bringing home one of the cats can call 616-453-8900 for more information and to fill out a survey.

The peaceful departure of the last U.S. combat forces from Iraq this week was another milestone towards the successful end of a war that many liberal journalists declared lost four years ago. Since early 2009, the war in Iraq has been a relatively low priority for the national press, which has focused on decrying the war in Afghanistan and cheerleading the Obama administration's aggressive domestic agenda.
But over the last eight years — since journalists began decrying what they termed the Bush administration's "rush to war" in August 2002, a full seven months before the first bombs fell — the Media Research Center has analyzed TV coverage of the Iraq conflict. The bottom line: reporters were obvious skeptics from the very beginning, and did all they could to push withdrawal and defeat before George W. Bush's surge strategy saved the day.
A quick review of the media's approach over the past eight years, with many links to the additional information that can be found at www.MRC.org:
■ Pre-War Opponents. Contrary to prevailing liberal mythology, all three networks (especially ABC) tilted their pre-war news in favor of Bush administration opponents. Covering the congressional debate over using force, for example, the networks gave a majority of soundbites (59%) to the losing anti-war side, or roughly double the percentage of Senators and Representatives who actually voted against using force (29%).
Despite the claim that the media never "asked tough questions," an MRC study of all Iraq stories on ABC's World News Tonight during September 2002 discovered that ABC reporters were nearly four times more likely to voice doubt about the truthfulness of statements by U.S. officials than Iraqi claims. Reporters also sanitized the "peace" movement, masking the radical affiliations of left-wing organizers while showcasing more sympathetic "middle class" demonstrators.
■ Combat Coverage. When the U.S. and its coalition partners began carefully targeted bombing of government buildings Baghdad on March 21, 2003, then-MSNBC anchor Brian Williams compared it to notorious attacks during World War II that killed tens of thousands of innocent civilians: "That vista on the lower-left looks like Dresden, it looks like some of the firebombing of Japanese cities during World War II."
Writing in the New York Times the next morning, reporter David Chen compared it to the terrorist attack on New York City: "For some, the bombing brought back particularly visceral and chilling memories. They could not help thinking about Sept. 11, and how New York, too, was once under assault from the skies."
But worst of all was NBC/MSNBC correspondent Peter Arnett, who reported lies about U.S. use of "cluster bombs" against Iraqi civilians. Arnett was later fired for denouncing the U.S. in a Saddam propaganda video just days before the regime toppled: "Clearly, the American war planners misjudged the determination of the Iraqi forces....Now America is re-appraising the battlefield, delaying the war, maybe a week, and re-writing the war plan. The first war plan has failed because of Iraqi resistance; now they are trying to write another war plan."
■ Capture of Saddam Hussein: When the former Iraqi dictator was captured in December 2003, ABC anchor Peter Jennings sniffed that "there's not a good deal for Iraqis to be happy about at the moment. Life is still very chaotic, beset by violence in many cases, huge shortages. In some respects, Iraqis keep telling us life is not as stable for them as it was when Saddam Hussein was in power."
For a despot who killed hundreds of thousands of his own people, the coverage was surprisingly sympathetic. "The tyrant has fallen. But for some, he's a fallen hero," CBS's Kimberly Dozer relayed. "Saddam Hussein also gave Iraqis dignity and pride. He became a symbol of defiance across the Arab world, never backing down from a fight....Those who loved him and those who hated him still can't separate the man from the country in their minds. For many, his humiliation is their own."
■ Waves of Bad News. In 2005, Iraq was a mixed bag — historic democratic elections, but continued violence. But an MRC study that year showed the network coverage emphasized the bad news. Out of 1,712 evening news stories, the lion's share (848, or 61%) focused on U.S. casualties, bombings, kidnappings or political setbacks, compared to just 245 (14%) that reported positive developments. (The remainder were mixed or neutral.) An MRC study of cable news coverage in 2006 found that all three networks emphasized bad news, although the Fox News Channel aired nearly as many stories about coalition success in Iraq (81) as CNN (41) and MSNBC (47) combined.
The media's inordinately negative tone was both frustrating and perplexing to those with first-hand knowledge of the situation. On November 22, 2005, for example, the Washington Times ran a lengthy op-ed from an anonymous Marine in Iraq: "Morale among our guys is very high. They not only believe they are winning, but that they are winning decisively. They are stunned and dismayed by what they see in the American press, whom they almost universally view as against them....They are inflicting casualties at a rate of 20-1 and then see s*** like 'Are we losing in Iraq?' on television."
■ Hyping Misdeeds, Hiding Heroes. In 2006, the networks jumped on unproved charges of a Marine "massacre" at Haditha, with more than 200 minutes of coverage in three weeks. Referring to the killing of hundreds of Vietnamese civilians back in 1968, ABC's Terry Moran wondered "Will Haditha be the My Lai of the Middle East?" But allegations of a heinous war crime have so far been unfounded: Of the eight Marines originally charged, one has been found not guilty and charges against six others have been dismissed. The trial of the last Marine, Staff Sgt. Frank D. Wuterich, begins next month.
While the networks were excited by charges of wrongdoing against U.S. servicemen, an MRC study of coverage from 2001 through 2006 found those news organizations gave just 52 minutes to the stories of America's highest-decorated soldiers in the war on terror. Fourteen of the top 20 medal recipients up to that time had gone completely unmentioned by the broadcast networks.
■ Battling Bush's Surge: The Bush administration's attempt to salvage the situation in Iraq met with a blizzard of hostile coverage in January 2007. Ex-NBC Nightly News anchor Tom Brokaw scoffed that sending more troops to Iraq would "seem to most people...like a folly." NBC's White House reporter David Gregory suggested even White House insiders have lost faith: "As the President prepares to start a new phase of the war in Iraq, the White House is fending off charges that key figures in the administration have concluded the war is lost." Over on CBS, correspondent Lara Logan counseled that an earlier experiment adding 12,000 troops into Baghdad "made absolutely no difference....In fact, security here in Baghdad got even worse."
The networks remained openly skeptical eight months later as General David Petraeus gave Congress his first status report on the operation. "Insurgent attacks are down," ABC's Terry McCarthy noted on the September 9, 2007 World News Sunday, the day before Petraeus testified before Congress. But "Iraq remains a very violent place....Life in central Iraq is still deadly dangerous." CBS's David Martin contended: "Victory is not at hand, not even in sight."
■ Little Time for Good News. By late 2007, however, the surge strategy denigrated by network correspondents had borne obvious fruit. But the reaction of the broadcast evening newscasts was to begin walking away from the Iraq story. Network coverage dropped from 178 stories/month in September 2007 to just 68 stories/month in November 2007. By February 2008, coverage had dropped to barely 40 stories/month.
The end of combat operations is really a postscript to what should have been the big headline, the success of the U.S. surge strategy in smashing the al-Qaeda fueled insurgency that was plaguing Iraq in 2006.

IIFA will be missing a few Bollywood superstars like Amitabh Bachchan, Saif Ali Khan and Shahrukh Khan, this year. But, a confident Abhay Deol thinks the other way. Abhay said that other actors would fulfill the gap and live upto the expectations of the masses at IIFA.
Talking to the media at the green carpet of the world premiere of his film Shanghai, Deol said, It would have been good to have the Khans and the Bachchans, but I hope that not having them wont make the award function look any less. He added, Id like to believe, just like we had the Khans and the Bachchans, we have all sorts of artists who are good enough to support an award function.

Human Rights in Pakistan Essay by habibistheman
Human Rights in Pakistan
A look at human rights violations in Pakistan and how they are being dealt addressed.

This paper examines how Pakistan, which has a constitution that declares freedom of religion, is highly influenced by the Islamic religion. It looks at how there are many "blasphemy laws", which give criminal penalties for offenses against the religion of Islam and serve as tools of religious persecution, and how these laws have been used to unjustly put people into prison for business or economic reasons, as well as religious ones. It discusses how child labor and rights are also big issues in Pakistan and how Pakistan's human rights problems extend to other areas, including police brutality, cruel and unusual punishment, lack of women's rights, rape, the death penalty, and many other violations. It also looks at the work of Amnesty International in easing these violations.
From the Paper:"Amnesty International has been working during many of the past years to help end the human rights violations in Pakistan. Amnesty asks Pakistan to release all prisoners of conscience, give all citizens fair trial, train law enforcement to obtain the law, replace cruel punishment with those permitted by international human rights laws, revise women's and children's rights laws, stop all executions and abolish the death penalty, uphold law and order and investigate all human rights violations to ensure more violations do not occur in the future (Amnesty International - Time to Take Human Rights Seriously). Using such methods Amnesty has successfully helped release prisoners of conscience and take youths off of death row."

Hormone-Refractory Prostate Cancer: Choosing the Appropriate Treatment Option
Hormone-Refractory Prostate Cancer: Choosing the Appropriate Treatment Option
Hormone-refractory prostate cancer (HRCaP) is both heterogeneous and lethal. Multiple treatment options exist, including secondary hormonal manipulations, chemotherapy, experimental options, and best supportive care. Choosing the appropriate therapy for an individual patient depends on several important clinical factors such as the presence or absence of symptomatic metastatic disease, age and comorbidities, and prostate-specific antigen velocity. While only docetaxel (Taxotere)-based chemotherapy has been proven to improve survival in this setting, a wide range of therapies may be effective for any individual. Palliative maneuvers, such as external-beam radiation, bisphosphonate therapy, radiopharmaceuticals, and pain management are critical for appropriate patient management. Several promising novel therapies are in late-stage testing and will hopefully provide more treatment options for these patients.
Recurrent prostate cancer (CaP) is a disease of years, even decades. In one study, the median time between prostate-specific antigen (PSA) recurrence after radical prostatectomy (RP) and death was 13 years.[1] Given this prolonged natural history, CaP can be best understood using a disease state model. This model divides the natural history of CaP into four clinically valuable disease states—(1) clinically localized disease, (2) rising PSA, (3) clinical metastases, noncastrate, and (4) clinical metastases, castration-resistant.[2] This article will review the management of castration-resistant, or hormone-resistant, CaP (HRCaP).
A Biologically and Clinically Heterogeneous Disease
HRCaP is also called androgen-independent CaP but better conceptually thought of as castration-resistant CaP. All refer to the same clinical phenomenon, which is the growth of CaP despite low plasma levels of total testosterone, typically to < 50 ng/dL. Such a reduction in serum testosterone is achieved with either a leutinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist (eg, leuprolide acetate or goserelin acetate [Zoladex]) or surgical castration. Cancer growth is usually documented radiologically, or with serial increases in serum PSA levels (at least two rises, at least 1 week apart, using the same assay).[3] Checking serum testosterone levels is recommended as an initial evaluation in such patients because at least 5% do not have castrate levels of the androgen, in which case surgical castration should be considered.[4]
One problem with the use of the terms "hormone-refractory" or "androgen-independent" is that many of these tumors are still responsive to therapies that alter the androgen milieu. For example, the addition of exogenous testosterone to patients with HRCaP may shorten their survival.[5] Moreover, therapies that either interfere with the binding of androgens to the androgen receptor or decrease the adrenal androgen contribution produce 20% to 40% response rates in the castrate state. Thus, the term HRCaP denotes a disease state that is not truly refractory. Rather, "hormone -refractoriness" describes a spectrum of sensitivities to further androgen-manipulation.
The clinical observation that responses to secondary hormonal manipulation are heterogeneous is reflected in the underlying biology of HRCaP. While not well elucidated, it seems clear that there are several possible pathways to the acquisition of the castration-resistant phenotype (Table 1).[6] This biologic heterogeneity is further exemplified by the results of rapid autopsy studies. One study demonstrated significant variation in the expression of proteins felt to be important in HRCaP not only between patients but also between metastases to different organs in the same patient.[7] Given this inter- and intrapatient biologic heterogeneity, it is not surprising that response rates to various targeted agents in this disease state are low. The critical question is identifying which HRCaP tumors will respond to any particular therapy.
Clinically, HRCaP is also heterogeneous. With the use of serum PSA tests, the diagnosis of HRCaP can be made long before metastases are diagnosed. Many of these patients are initially asymptomatic and may have many years before any clinical sequellae appear. In a study of 201 patients with HRCaP but without bone metastases, only 33% of men developed bone metastases (as noted by bone scan) at 2 years.[8] Predictors of the development of bone metastases included baseline PSA level and PSA velocity. Thus, patients with HRCaP without metastatic disease can remain asymptomatic for years.
On the other hand, the median survival for patients with metastatic HRCaP is 18 to 22 months.[9,10] The most comprehensive evaluation of prognostic markers for survival in this disease setting was performed by Halabi and colleagues.[11] A dataset of 1,101 men from six different Cancer and Leukemia Group B (CALGB) studies was evaluated. All of these men had HRCaP with metastases. Statistically significant prognostic factors of overall survival in a multivariate analysis included performance status, Gleason sum, serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), PSA, hemoglobin, and alkaline phosphatase, and the presence of visceral disease. These prognostic factors have been incorporated into a nomogram.
Treatment Options
There are three basic categories of treatment options in HRCaP: supportive care, secondary hormonal manipulations, and chemotherapy. In most centers, clinical trials can be added to this list. Many of these treatment options can be effective in the right patient population, yet the only treatment proven to extend survival in HRCaP is docetaxel chemotherapy.[9,10] Moreover, as described below, the phase III studies of docetaxel were performed in a subset of HRCaP—men with mostly symptomatic, metastatic HRCaP.
Therefore, for an individual patient, we select therapy based on multiple factors, including the patient's age, performance status and comorbidities, PSA velocity, the presence or absence of metastatic disease, the presence or absence of symptomatic disease, and the prognostic factors from the CALGB nomogram. For men with multiple comorbidities and a poor performance status but without evidence of metastases, watchful waiting may be the best option. On the other hand, those with symptomatic, metastatic disease who are otherwise in good health are best managed with chemotherapy. For the vast group of patients with HRCaP and a minimal metastatic burden without symptoms, secondary hormonal manipulation or experimental options are reasonable as initial therapy.
Even with a watchful waiting approach, primary androgen deprivation should be maintained. Clinical trials in HRCaP in which testosterone was added to chemotherapy had inferior outcomes to chemotherapy alone, arguing that even in HRCaP, at least a subset of tumor cells remain sensitive to androgens.[5] Interestingly, though, the return of testosterone is highly variable with the discontinuation of androgen-deprivation therapy. In older men who have been on androgen-deprivation therapy for long periods of time, the return to noncastrate serum testosterone levels after the discontinuation of androgen-deprivation therapy may take a long time if it returns at all.[12] Thus, in patients not on clinical trials, it is not unreasonable to discontinue LHRH use and closely monitor testosterone levels.

Gulfstream Park: Off the Jak gives Parbhoo first win of the day in Sunshine Millions Sprint
HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. - In what was perhaps a harbinger of things to come later in the evening, trainer Shivananda Parbhoo sent out Off the Jak to register a three-quarter-length decision over an unlucky Bahamian Squall in Saturday's $150,000 Sunshine Millions Sprint at Gulfstream Park.
Gulfstream was to play host Saturday evening to the Eclipse Awards ceremonies where Parbhoo's Breeders' Cup Sprint winner Trinniberg was favored to win the award as champion Sprinter in 2012.
Off the Jak, a 5-year-old son of With Distinction, benefited from a nicely judged ride by jockey Jose Alvarez. Settling just off the early pace set by the slow-breaking Star Harbor, Off the Jak advanced wide to take command in early stretch, edged clear, then withstood a final surge from Bahamian Squall. The latter dropped back between horses during the early stages of the six-furlong Sprint and then finished best of all once angled wide and into the clear on the final turn.
Big Drama finished another half-length back in third.
Off the Jak paid $28.20 despite having finished a game second behind Indiano three weeks earlier in the Grade 3 Mr. Prospector. Final time for the distance over a sloppy track was 1:10.27.
"There's something about sprinters, I just can't train a distance horse," Parbhoo, who trains Off the Jak for his daughter Sherry, quipped in the winner's circle after the race. "Hopefully one day I'll learn."
Parbhoo said Off the Jak has continued to just get better with each successive start.
"He's more relaxed every time he comes out and that's what I like about him," said Parbhoo. "Coming to the race today the groom actually had to pull him to get him over, the same thing last time. But I tell you when he goes in that gate, he's a totally different horse. He got a good trip. I just told Alvarez not to get on the rail, that's all the instructions I gave him."
Parbhoo then reflected about the possibility of winning an Eclipse Award with Trinniberg later Saturday night.
"It was a very big day for us, and hopefully it will be a very big night and we win the Eclipse," said Parbhoo.

A judge ordered two teens (age 15 and 16) to post an apology on YouTube for throwing a drink in the face of a teller at a cashier in a fast food restaurant's drive up window.
The teens are charged with two counts of battery and one count of criminal mischief. Prosecutors say the boys must serve 100 hours of community service and send letters to the victims to have the charges dropped, Seminole-Brevard State Attorney spokeswoman Lynn Bumpus-Hooper told the Orlando Sentinel.Link Video
Despite the online apology, the victim, ex-Taco Bell employee Jessica Ceponis, told the "Today Show" that she wasn't satisfied.
I don't think the lesson is completely learned, because they are still young, and, to some of their friends, this is going to make them heroes," Ceponis said.

By the year 2020, our current primary school kids would be young adults and the new working generation. A few hundred of these would be furthering their studies at the University of Guyana.
What kind of society would this 2020 generation be living in? As a Guyanese nation, how far along the road of development would we be?
When we won free and fair elections in 1992, the ruling party proclaimed a "new dawn", and stirred the hearts of Guyanese all over the world with new hope for a new path of progress, prosperity and national pride.
Now, 20 years later, we lag behind all of the Caribbean, South America and, again, neighbouring Suriname.
While our neighbour, Brazil, soars ahead as an emerging global power, we remain stuck in a rut, sinking into awful social decay. We used to blame those "28 years of rigged elections" for our plight. Now, over four decades after political Independence, why can't we get our act together to develop our people?
The year 2020 is just eight years away. To expect any major, dramatic transformation of this society in that time seems farfetched. The average Guyanese looks to the immediate future with a terrible depth of despairing pessimism. It's born out of our historical experience as a nation.
The fact is, we fail our children, generation after generation.
Politicians invent grandiose schemes and impose these half-thought out development plans on a tired population. All folks want is to live a decent life, safe and secure in their homes, with their kids educated and healthy.
Yet, from experimenting with Cooperative Socialism to today tackling an environmental agenda, our politicians neglect the most fundamental of the development task: creating the groundwork for the development and progress of the individual Guyanese person.
The most popular option for personal development is still migration, for most of our young people.
Generation after generation, we fail our kids.
Take, for example, the street robbers, who stalk and harass shoppers in Georgetown, so much that the streets are unsafe to walk. In some areas – notably Albouystown, Tiger Bay, Charlestown and the wide swath from Broad and Lombard streets all the way across to D'Urban Street extending into Lodge – the average citizen of this country would never dare walk the streets at certain times of the night.
These areas have become the worst of urban crime infested ghettos, with semi-literate, grossly poor, desperate-to-survive hooligans lacking any sense of good conscience towards society.
News early this week of two of these unfortunate souls caught with knives attacking a young teen on city streets barely made a ripple in this country. We may be becoming numb to our decay.
How could we continue so terribly to fail our kids?
As a nation we tried so much. Free education from nursery to university was once a reality, along with free universal health care, active community centres where our cricketers and national sports stars developed, and a vocational system that produced competent carpenters, electricians and our tradespeople. Our Agriculture school produced competent vets.
Where did we go wrong? Where has this national curse entered into our soul so that today we rank among the poorest and most undeveloped of nations in the Americas?
We've produced world class statesmen, visionaries, novelists, poets, musicians, cricketers, and scores and scores of world class citizens. Why is our nation failing generation after generation of our children?
It's a lament that causes us to hang our heads in shame.
Who could walk among the shantytown of West Ruimveldt without feeling a deep sense of shame and regret at how we've under-developed our people?
For the individual Guyanese to self-develop, he or she needs a society that encourages, fosters and cultivates personal initiative. Instead, too many of our sons and daughters suffer from a broken spirit.
The major difference between Georgetown and any other city where Guyanese have migrated to in the world is that their adopted city provides a more fertile ground for them to dream, strive and work hard to achieve their dreams.
Too many Guyanese at home feel that their country lacks the social climate for them to grow and produce worthy fruit for their life's labours.
This is a lament, and it must be told, because too many souls are lost, generation after generation.
We solved the public transportation crisis of the 1980's, when former President Hoyte liberalized the economy to allow these cheap re-conditioned Japanese minibuses to operate as our only public transport system.
And since then, we've lost an average 200 lives a year to road accidents, many of them because of an ad hoc system for these minibuses and their operators. Were we simply to follow the model of how these minibuses are controlled in Barbados and other Caribbean nations, we would have done a lot to ease the headache that this solution generated.
Minibuses may have been a temporary quick-fix, but the system has remained now for a quarter century. And after these 25 years of operating this system, we still cannot manage it with efficiency. Recently, two minibuses slammed into each other, injuring scores of people.
Generation after generation our society seems stuck in mediocrity, under-development, lack of efficient management, and chaotic planning.
Even when we achieve success, like in the area of housing, where this ruling party solved the crushing housing crisis of the Hoyte administration, we see ad hoc housing scheme planning, questionable development deals, and accusations of corruption, graft and nepotism become the order of the day.
The rich among us may look away from the decay of West Ruimveldt and Albouystown and Linden, but we cannot ignore the fact that generations of our people are lost in our continuing social rut.
And as we look to the future with hope – for we must hope – what kind of society are we planning and designing to hand over to the new generation of Guyanese adults in 2020?
On fifth anniversary, farewell
We now mark the fifth anniversary of this column in this exemplary, nation-defining newspaper, and it's been an inspiring, beautiful journey.
Choosing how to experience our homeland
We experience life, see our days, hear emotion and meaning when we interact with others, according to our presupposition, that unconscious window through which we see the world, each person's point of view unique, each one's frame of reference of a different shade than any other.
Inspiring leadership initiatives and community cooperation
Our nation's main wealth lies in the human capital of Guyanese; the skills, talents, knowledge, energy, initiative and creativity of each individual.
Feeling Guyana's natural pulse
So easy it is to fall under an oppressive cloud in this society, focused on inconsequential stuff, ignoring the beauty of our human potential.
Working the economy against political backdrop
Word on the streets is that people across this nation react with caution and pessimism to the political backdrop existing in the country.

Writer, analyst, and eloquent opinionator Gore Vidal died today. He was 86. The LA Times reports that he died Tuesday in his Hollywood Hills home, from complications related to pneumonia.
In his lifetime, Vidal received the National Book Award, wrote many novels, short stories, plays and essays. He was a political activist, and received the most votes of any Democrat in more than 50 years when he ran as a Democratic candidate for Congress in upstate New York. Vidal's The City and the Pillar was one of the first American novels to present homosexuality in a direct manner, and outraged many at the time.

Bruce Schneier asks what lessons we can learn from the shooting in a Colorado movie theater, and answers the question with admirable good sense:
The rarity of events such as the Aurora massacre doesn't mean we should ignore any lessons it might teach us. Because people overreact to rare events, they're useful catalysts for social introspection and policy change. The key here is to focus not on the details of the particular event but on the broader issues common to all similar events.
Installing metal detectors at movie theaters doesn't make sense -- there's no reason to think the next crazy gunman will choose a movie theater as his venue, and how effectively would a metal detector deter a lone gunman anyway? -- but understanding the reasons why the United States has so many gun deaths compared with other countries does. The particular motivations of alleged killer James Holmes aren't relevant -- the next gunman will have different motivations -- but the general state of mental health care in the United States is.
Even with this, the most important lesson of the Aurora massacre is how rare these events actually are. Our brains are primed to believe that movie theaters are more dangerous than they used to be, but they're not. The riskiest part of the evening is still the car ride to and from the movie theater, and even that's very safe.

Yesterday, Xeni told you that the deadly virus Ebola has reemerged in Uganda. The disease has actually been infecting and killing people in the western part of the country for three weeks. We're hearing about it now, in big font, because some sources have reported that the disease has reached Kampala, the country's capital. (Other sources say only that one person infected with Ebola traveled to Kampala, and that there have been no reports of anyone catching the disease in that city.)
The Kampala link is somewhat concerning. Previous Ebola outbreaks have centered on rural areas, villages, and mid-sized towns. With the exception of a handful of highly monitored cases that centered around research labs in the U.S. and Europe, and the case of a medical worker who accidentally brought the virus to Johannesburg, South Africa in 1996, Ebola has not previously found its way into any major global hubs of human life. Kampala may not be on your radar with New York, Tokyo, or London, but air travel and money give it strong ties to the rest of the world and population density gives it a much larger number of potential victims within striking distance.
But here is a key thing about Ebola—it's scary as hell, but it burns itself out pretty fast and it's not that easy to spread. On average, Ebola kills a majority of the people it infects, and it kills them quickly. The time between infection and onset of symptoms ranges from two to 21 days. Read the rest

Stage magician and "magic experience designer" Ferdinando Buscema, who I've previously posted about, was a guest on the always-provocative Expanding Mind podcast with Erik Davis and Maja D'Aoust. The conversation was fantastic and highly illuminating. It resonated with my own interests in magic (and art and science) as a tool to shift our perception/understanding of reality, cultivate a sense of wonder, and induce transformative experiences. Indeed, Ferdinando mentioned that he's been greatly inspired by Timothy Leary and Robert Anton Wilson, both of whom were old friends and patron saints of bOING bOING. Also on the program, Ferdinando spoke highly of a book titled Magic and Meaning by magic philosophers Eugene Burger and Robert E. Neale about the psychological, symbolic, and spiritual roots of theatrical magic. I look forward to soaking that one in. The photo above is from Ferdinando's recent gig at the famed Magic Castle in Los Angeles. Right now, he's organizing a TEDxNavigli in Italy for early March, themed around "the power of love." Listen below or here to Expanding Mind: Magic Experience Design.
Timothy Ray Brown (aka, The Berlin Patient) is the first person to go from being HIV+ to HIV-. Usually, he's described as the first person to be cured of AIDS. Scientists are a bit more circumspect about the situation. Brown got a bone marrow transplant using marrow donated by a person whose body has natural resistance to HIV. That was in 2005. Now off of anti-retroviral drugs, Brown's HIV has (so far) not returned. Two other men have been through the same treatment with promising results, although they are still taking anti-retroviral drugs, so it's impossible to say yet whether they are also actually HIV-.
Even if this is a cure, it is not the world's most widely applicable cure. Yet. But it is very interesting and, obviously, an amazing story.
I've never heard Timothy Ray Brown speak before, so I wanted to post this interview video from Democracy Now. It probably won't add much to the story that you didn't already know, but it's powerful to see the guy, himself, talking about it.

This is one in a series of essays about enthralling books. I asked my friends and colleagues to recommend a book that took over their life. I told them the book didn't have to be a literary masterpiece. The only thing that mattered was that the book captivated them and carried them into the world within its pages, making them ignore the world around them. I asked: "Did you shirk responsibilities so you could read it? Did you call in sick? Did you read it until dawn? That's the book I want you to tell us about!" See all the essays in the Enthralling Book series here. -- Mark
Nicholas Nickleby by Charles DickensAn enthralling book, I reckon, is a function of two things: the book's virtues itself and one's opportunity to be enthralled. Back in my high school days, I had enough time on my hands that I could throw myself into a big fat novel and plow my way through it in three or four days (particularly in the summer). I took on most of the best selling potboilers by Irving Wallace, Leon Uris, and James Michener and considered myself reasonably engaged.
But for true enthrallment, I have to point to that icon of adolescent true-believerhood, Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged. So help me, I read through my Signet mass paperback edition twice, underlining passages, and taxing the binding to the point that I had to rubberband my copy to keep its pages together. I may have been 16 at the time. Read the rest

Lights, Camera, Astoria - Museum of the Moving Image
Through April 27, 2014 - Astoria
This exhibition traces the fascinating history of the Astoria Studio complex, which has been at the heart of filmmaking in New York City since 1920. The studio site was the east-coast home of Paramount Pictures in the silent and early talking-picture eras, a center for independent filmmaking in the 1930s, and the U.S. Army Pictorial Center from World War II into the Cold War era. After falling into disrepair in the early 1970s, the site has become a thriving cultural hub that includes Kaufman Astoria Studios and Museum of the Moving Image.
Using film stills, behind-the-scenes photographs, oral histories, film clips, and posters, the exhibition explores the rich legacy and renaissance of the studio complex. With material from silent-era films featuring Rudolph Valentino, early talking films starring the Marx Brothers, World War II training and propaganda films, such modern classics as The Age of Innocence, and television shows like Sesame Street, The Cosby Show, and Nurse Jackie, the exhibition reveals the significant role that the Astoria studio continues to play in energizing its surrounding community and making moving image history.

A DISGRACED former NHS officer who forged her ex-prison officer lover's signature in a £62,000 identity and mortgage scam has been jailed for two years.
Michelle Whitham, 41, re-mortgaged the Rossendale home she shared with Patricia Bailey and used her passport and driving licence to dupe companies into lending her cash in a string of deceptions, Burnley Crown Court heard.
She managed to get a loan of £39,500 and secured another of £20,500 on the property in Shawforth, near Bacup, and a credit card online.
She further obtained a £1,750 loan, secured on Miss Bailey's car.
Whitham, who had re-registered the Peugeot vehicle by changing the details in the log book, cancelled Miss Bailey's car insurance and re-insured the vehicle in her own name.
The con only came to light when Miss Bailey was stopped by police for driving uninsured in the car she thought was hers, but which officers told her apparently wasn't.
Miss Bailey, 58, is now facing the loss of her terrace home because of her relationship with the ex-con, who she met while working as a prison officer.
To keep her scam secret, Whitham arranged for their post to be kept at the depot where she would then collect it.
Miss Bailey found out about the re-mortgage not long after, but didn't discover until later her name was on the application. Miss Bailey, who hadn't gone to the police because she valued the relationship and was put in a difficult position, was said to have discovered other frauds when the relationship ended and she then made a complaint.
Whitham, of Smithy Bridge Road, Littleborough, admitted four charges of fraud by false representation. She was jailed for two years for the offences, which raised £61,950.
The court heard the former lovers had met after Whitham was jailed for 21 months in 2001 for defrauding her NHS bosses by paying £50,000 of public money into her account while working at Birch Hill Hospital, Rochdale.
She has recently been working as a chef at The Moorcock Inn in Littleborough.
After Whitham was released, in February 2002, Miss Bailey gave up her job to 'develop the relationship' with the defendant. Whitham went to live with Miss Bailey in the complainant's house in Moss Side Street, which she then owned in her sole name. Miss Bailey said the relationship started after she left her job.
During the relationship, the defendant arranged for the post to be collected by her. Prosecutor Laura Findley said: "This was presumably so she could commit these offences and keep it a secret from her then partner."
In 2009, a half share of Miss Bailey's home was given to the defendant, the court heard.
Between April 1 and 14 that year, Whitham applied to re-mortgage the property in the sum of £39,500 and forged Miss Bailey's signature.
Miss Findley said between October 1 and November 1, 2012, the defendant took out a further loan on the property, for £20,500, again forging Miss Bailey's signature.
The prosecutor said between October 21 and November 6, 2012, the defendant got a credit card from Vanquis Bank in Miss Bailey's name.
And between August 1 and 31, 2012, the defendant claimed to Hermes Property Services Ltd she was the owner of Miss Bailey's Peugeot car, to secure a loan.
About a year later, Miss Bailey got a letter from Norton Finance, saying she had defaulted on the loan secured against her home.
In August 2013, Miss Bailey got a letter from the bank, telling her she had a £447.80 balance outstanding. She challenged the defendant, but Whitham lied, claiming the application had been in her own name.
The court heard between £10,000 and £15,000 had now been paid back.
Miss Findley said: "The defendant has, or will, relinquish her share of the equity in the property, which I understand, she says is around £20,000. The equity is around £40,000."
Whitham's barrister, Robert Elias told the court :"My understanding is that Miss Bailey went to the police as a woman scorned, when my client moved on to another relationship."
He told the hearing Miss Bailey had forgiven the defendant after the re-mortgage. Whitham was paying the mortgage back for four years.
Mr Elias said Miss Bailey, who described herself as retired, had been content to give up work and live off the defendant's earnings.
He said she knew Whitham's track record and had 'put her head in the sand.' He added: "She is financially disadvantaged at the end of her relationship with my client."
The barrister said Whitham and Miss Bailey had both wanted a civil ceremony, but Miss Bailey had thought she might lose her prison pension for having a relationship with a prisoner.
Mr Elias, who urged the judge to impose a suspended jail term, said: "It seems, happily, that most of the loss will be recouped."
Recorder Raymond Herman said the frauds were carried out over a sustained period of time, there was some element of significant planning, such as diverting the post and the defendant's conduct had been 'highly deceptive'.
Passing sentence, the judge said the total loss to the financial institutions was £61,950. He told Whitham: "In this case, there are really two victims - the financial institutions and Miss Bailey, who was exploited by you and has had to suffer the psychological and financial consequences of your actions. She has found it distressing. She has had to put her house on the market and has had to face dealing with large debts which she has accrued."

Tech Talk featured by ChipEstimate.com. Written by Craig Downing and Jim Lipman, Sidense
Analog ICs, sensors and mixed-signal SoCs that include analog circuitry, such as Power Management ICs (PMICs), need to meet precise specifications for analog signal behavior. Variations in chip processing and effects of the packaging process result in unpredictable deviations of analog circuits and sensors from their target specifications. To compensate for these deviations, analog circuitry needs to be trimmed or calibrated by adjusting part of the circuitry, for example, resistance values that vary the behavior of an analog-to-digital converter. In addition, as IC developers continue to strive for reduced power consumption and cost by moving to smaller geometries, the problem of optimizing the analog circuitry becomes more important as process variations tend to have a larger effect on analog circuit behavior.Read the complete story....
Article "Using Cost-Effective and Secure Field-Programmable 1T-OTP to Emulate MTP" by Jim Lipman and Craig Downing, Sidense
Abstract - Applications for non-volatile memory (NVM) encompass a wide range of programming requirements. Some products require one-time programmable (OTP) memory that is programmed during chip fabrication – mask ROM is good for this purpose if the code is frozen. Other products need field-programmable OTP for applications such as analog trimming, necessitating the use of secure in-system programmable NVM.
To view the entire article see the attached PDF 1T OTP for eMTP Applications.
Abstract - Introduction
Driven by the demands of the consumer electronics marketplace – low price points and constantly shrinking design cycles – programmable logic and reconfigurable silicon solutions are rapidly gaining acceptance by chip designers for a wide range of product development. Being able to accelerate code development on a completed hardware platform and to reconfigure logic on a chip to handle different computational requirements are just two of the reasons designers are using reconfigurable hardware in their products.

It's easy to see why
There has not been an Australian political leader so little in need of a script writer for his political lines as Abbott. He thinks in tabloid headlines.
Abbott's political message is peppered with short, sharp, clear and catchy sentences.
No issue, no matter how complex, is beyond Abbott's ability to be reduced to tabloid simplicity.
Take the Coalition's economic policies. The economy is an extremely complex beast, as every student of it knows. It is subject to all sorts of influences and factors, the most powerful of them largely beyond the control of any government.
So what does Abbott say to reinforce his message that the Coalition is better than Labor to manage the economy? "The economy will always be stronger under a Coalition government," Abbott said when pressed to explain the Coalition's key line of the first few days of the election campaign – that voters should not give Labor any credit for lower interest rates.
Keeping it simple
And he fleshed this out, adding: "Taxes will always be lower under a Coalition government. Government spending will always be lower under a Coalition government."
It was vintage Tabloid Tony.
But those who have followed Abbott-speak over the longer term would have noticed that this was an abridged version of the Coalition's economic policy sales pitch.
Missing were these words: "Interest rates will always be lower under a Coalition government."
That was from the Howard-era, simplified sales pitch for why the Coalition was better at managing the economy.
As is the way with economic management, the Howard-era one-liner failed to take account of the complicated bits. Throughout the years of the Rudd-Gillard governments, interest rates have always been lower than those they inherited from John Howard.
The obvious point about this is that interest rates are one of a range of economic instruments used to manage the economy. The appropriate rate depends on what else is happening in the economy. Ever lower is not always better.
Why cuts must be bad
Abbott has been caught out by the "tabloidisation" of the complicated business of rate-setting.
He is now trying to explain why this rate cut, so unfortunately timed from the Coalition's point of view, is a bad thing, not a good thing.
And he's trying to explain why, when he says it's a bad thing for the economy, it is still a good thing for people who will benefit from lower mortgage repayments.
But this is a complicated story, very difficult to reduce to a catchy tabloid explanation. When
Rudd sees the rate cut as a big political plus as he attempts to overtake Abbott's lead on economic management.
He gambled that a rate cut would help restore the momentum he would lose from painful measures to reduce the deficit. His judgment is now to face a fateful test. That is why Abbott is trying to make sure that voters see a rate cut as bad news.
Just a few days into the election campaign, this may be the most important policy battle of all.

Hood Aerodrome
Information on the Hood Aerodrome
The Masterton (Hood) Aerodrome is the responsibility of the Masterton District Council. The operations at the aerodrome are managed under contract by Master Roads and Services Ltd.
This involves maintaining the runways, runway lighting, windsocks, roading and lease sites for hangars.
Ace Aviation offers flight training and the aerodrome is also the base for the N.Z. Sport and Vintage Aviation Society which has members all over New Zealand. Other clubs and private aircraft owners have aircraft based at the aerodrome, including home built and microlight aircraft. Parachuting and model aircraft flying are also carried out on the aerodrome.
The Wairarapa & Ruahine Aero Club was first formed as early as 1929 and flew out of Wairarapa's first airfield built at Martinborough - it was not until 1931 that Masterton's aerodrome opened and it was dedicated to a young aviating pioneer - Captain George Hood.
On January 1928, George Hood disappeared without trace attempting the first flight across the Tasman Sea from Australia to New Zealand.
Accompanying Lieutenant John Robert Moncrieff, Hood set out from Sydney at 2.44am and by 6pm nearly 10,000 had gathered at Trentham Racecourse to welcome them back to New Zealand - they never arrived.
There are many documented reports about what happened to them. Many eye witness reports suggested they did in fact reach the shores of New Zealand, and nearly made their target. The most popular theory of the time was that they crashed somewhere in the Marlborough Sounds. Despite long searches, wreckage was never found.
Captain Hood was born near Masterton in 1891, the son of early settlers Mr and Mrs F. Hood. He was fascinated by flying from boyhood and World War 1 was reportedly the opportunity George Hood had been waiting for. He was a sergeant with the 9th Squadron of the Wellington Mounted rifles which left for Europe in 1914. By the end of 1916 he was drafted as a recruit to the Royal Flying Corps.
Hood Aerodrome was officially named and opened at the 1931 North Island Air Pageant hosted at the aerodrome.
Hood's parents attended the opening and were told in opening addresses, that their thirty-seven year old son did not die in vain: "... his name would be an inspiration to future generations of flyers..."
Hangar Sites
A new area has been opened up at Hood Aerodrome in Masterton for recreational hangar development. A concept layout plan is available, but this is subject to change depending on development proposals received. Sites for commercial development will also be made available elsewhere on the aerodrome.
Hood Aerodrome is predominantly home to recreational and vintage aircraft activity, but also has flight training, skydiving, aerial topdressing services, aircraft maintenance, parachute and hot air balloon repairs, vintage aircraft airshows and the biennial Wings over Wairarapa Airshow.
Expressions of interest are invited for lease sites to build hangars or interest in leasing space in a hangar. This should include the size of the building proposed (or space required) and services required.
These should be sent to the Airport Manager David Hayes, Masterton District Council, PO. Box 444, Masterton 5840, or email firstname.lastname@example.com. Any enquiries can be directed to the above, or phone 027 606 0190.
