Alleged incident was in November
A Henderson man alleged of committing felony assault and kidnapping was placed behind bars Thursday.
Robert Louis Etheridge, 39, is accused of assault with a deadly weapon intending to inflict serious injury and first-degree kidnapping, both felony charges..
The incident in question allegedly happened Nov. 29 around 9:37 p.m. at a Mitchell Wooten Courts apartment.
Witnesses told responding officers that Etheridge and his girlfriend were in an argument when he drove off in a car, leaving her hanging on to the vehicle.
Later, officers found the woman lying on Mewborn Avenue. She told them Etheridge held her in the car without her consent and later threw her out of it.
�He turned himself in to (the Kinston Department of) Public Safety and was placed in jail under a $150,000 bond,� KDPS spokesman Woody Spencer said.

Mockridge was drafted in to replace Rebekah Brooks in July 2011, after she resigned from the company following the phone-hacking scandal.
He has worked at the business for nearly 22 years, and prior to his current role, he led Sky Italia for eight years.
His departure comes ahead of a restructure at News Corporation intended to separate its publishing business from its TV and film business.
Several reports suggest his resignation is due to him being overlooked for the chief executive role of the News Corp publishing spin-off next year.
Robert Thomson, who is managing editor of The Wall Street Journal and editor-in-chief of Dow Jones Newswires, has been tipped to take the chief executive role at the publishing company.
Since taking up his present role, Mockridge has instigated a number of changes at the business which owns the Times, The Sunday Times and The Sun.
He launched The Sun on Sunday newspaper, following the closure of News of the World, and recently closed The Times' science magazine, Eureka.
He also managed News International's response to the Leveson Inquiry and spoke out in favour of non-statutory regulation of the press.Follow @shearmans

Metabolomics is the global profiling of small metabolites such as amino acids, glycolytic, TCA and pentose cycle metabolites, and in combination with lipidomics (fatty acids, acyl carntines, phospholipids, di- and tri-glycerides) presents a powerful approach to functional biology for biomedical, clinical questions. Fluxomics uses stable isotopes to assess intra- and inter-organ flux. Use of fluxomics combined with metabolomics yields a comprehensive picture of metabolic regulation, and how its is impacted by disease.
The newly established Einstein Stable Isotope & Metabolomics Core (SIMC) uses stable isotope flux and metabolite profiling to help formulate and test hypotheses about the metabolic consequences of various changes in gene expression and protein function, in order to guide further integrative systems biology analyses of the underlying mechanisms in diabetes, insulin resistance, obesity, and diabetic complications. The SIMC Facility is a nonprofit organization established at the Einstein Diabetes Center. It is designed to provide services on the recharge basis. SIMC's evaluation framework complements the analyses performed in the Animal Physiology Core, such as measurements of whole body carbohydrate/fatty acid oxidation, energy expenditure, tissue-specific insulin sensitivity, glucose, protein and fatty acid metabolism.

Wabash Scores Big in 2013 Princeton Reviewby Howard Hewitt • August 7, 2013 Share:
Students rank Wabash College near the top in the nation for career services, science labs, athletics, classroom experience and more. The Princeton Review's annual report highlights 15 percent of America's 2,500 four-year colleges.
Wabash ranked No. 2 as a jock school, No. 4 as easiest campus to get around, No. 6 for best career services, No 12 for best classroom experience, No. 15 for best athletic facilities, No. 16 for best science labs, and No. 19 for professors get high marks.
The Princeton Review's survey of 126,000 students (about 333 per campus on average) attending the colleges. The 80-question survey asks students to rate their schools on several topics and report on their campus experiences at them. Topics range from assessments of their professors as teachers to opinions about their financial aid. A new ranking list in this year's edition of the book names the schools at which students gave their school's science/lab facilities the strongest ratings.
The College has always scored high for athletics, facilities, and classroom experience. The high ranking for science labs was new this year.
"It's really exciting to know students recognize the quality facilities that we have here," Chemistry Professor Scott Feller said. "We have really improved all of our facilities. This has been done with an eye toward getting students hands-on use of all of our equipment. "I think that's one of the things that defines our program. We put modern scientific instrumentation in the hands of students very early in the program. I feel very good when a student leaves here with a science degree they will have interacted with equipment that many students would not have come upon until they had finished a year or two of graduate school.
"And I'm just as proud that students who are non-majors, are going to get a chance to use instrumentation that some of their science major peers at other places might not get to ever touch."
Director of Schroeder Center for Career Development Scott Crawford said his team has helped build the center to its current level of success.
"We have a dedicated and inventive Career Services team, including our talented Peer Career Advisors, fantastic alumni support for and participation in our efforts, and we regularly re-invent our programs and initiatives to serve ever-changing student needs and interests," Crawford said. "We're busy creating a number of exciting programs for the coming year, and invite all students, alumni and recruiters to get involved with Career Services. If you've been waiting for the right time, there's no better time than now."
"Wabash College offers outstanding academics, which is the primary criteria for our choice of schools for the book. We base our selections primarily on data we obtain in our annual institutional data surveys," said Robert Franek, Princeton Review's Senior VP/Publisher of The Best 378 Colleges. "We also take into account input we get from our staff, our 35-member National College Counselor Advisory Board, our personal visits to schools, and the wide range of feedback we get from our surveys of students attending these schools. It is their opinions that college applicants often value the most, particularly on (or in the absence of) campus visits. We also work to keep a wide representation of colleges in the book by region, size, selectivity and character."
"The Best 378 Colleges" is the 22nd edition of The Princeton Review's annual "Best Colleges" book. It is one of 150 Princeton Review books published by Random House in a line that also includes test-prep guides for the ACT, SAT, SAT Subject Tests, and AP exams, plus "The Complete Book of Colleges," and "Paying for College Without Going Broke."

VERNON HILLS, Ill.—The Carton Council of North America, a group of carton manufacturers united to deliver long term collaborative solutions in order to divert valuable cartons from the landfill, has been awarded the 2013 Bow and Arrow Award for Coalition Building by the California Product Stewardship Council (CPSC).
"We are honored to be recognized by the California Product Stewardship Council for the Bow and Arrow Award," said Jason Pelz, vice president, environment, Tetra Pak North America, and vice president of recycling projects for the Carton Council of North America. "This reiterates the tremendous progress made in California, and the rest of the country, in building the pipeline for carton packaging recovery. We're delighted to receive this award as it indicates that our efforts have not gone unnoticed in the industry. We look forward to continuing to expand infrastructure and access for carton recycling both in California and throughout the nation.
Since forming in 2009, the Carton Council has partnered with mills and recovery facilities across the country, including at least 17 facilities in California, where access to carton recycling is expected to reach 70 percent by the end of 2013. The Carton Council has invested $1.5 million to drive recovery in California, expanding the local infrastructure to collect and sort cartons and promoting awareness of carton recycling in major cities like Los Angeles and San Diego.
Including cartons as part of every curbside recycling program offers a better, more cost-efficient alternative than other proposed recovery solutions.
"We are so pleased to spotlight the contributions of businesses and organizations like the Carton Council that are truly product-stewardship stars and are creating recycling jobs in California," said Heidi Sanborn, executive director of CPSC.
CPSC has recognized the Carton Council's efforts in building strong, effective partnerships not only between competitors in carton manufacturing, but also across the entire recycling supply chain with recycling professionals, sorting facilities and paper mills. This proven formula for success is focused on "building the pipeline" for carton recycling access, which has been shown to effectively grow recycling infrastructure in 45 states across the country.
"We are leading by example through an effective voluntary producer responsibility model, said Pelz. "Our goal in California is to see that cartons are part of every curbside recycling program. This award demonstrates that we are on the right path and that the industry is taking notice of our efforts."
The Carton Council currently has a campaign designed to help counties, municipalities and recyclers in California, as well as the rest of the country, bring carton recycling to their residents.
The Carton Council is composed of four leading carton manufacturers, Elopak, SIG Combibloc, Evergreen Packaging and Tetra Pak, as well as an associate member, Weyerhaeuser. Formed in 2009, the Carton Council works to deliver long-term collaborative solutions in order to divert valuable cartons from the landfill. Through a united effort, the Carton Council is committed to building a sustainable infrastructure for carton recycling nationwide and works toward their continual goal of adding access to carton recycling throughout the U.S.

GMHC and Photographer Mike Ruiz Want MSM in NYC to "Kiss and Tell" During LGBT Pride Month
On May 28, Gay Men's Health Crisis (GMHC) launched its print HIV awareness campaign, "Kiss and Tell," in phone kiosks across Manhattan, the Bronx and Brooklyn. The mission is to encourage and empower African-American and Latino gay and bisexual young men, ages 13 to 19, to have open and loving discussions with their partners about their sexual history and HIV status.
Hence, kiss and tell.
The campaign was co-created by CLUB1319, GMHC's youth leadership-development program, and was a play on words off of the U.S. military's former "Don't Ask Don't Tell" (DADT) policy.
"The Kiss & Tell campaign underscores the message that the lives of young black and Latino gay men are valued and not dispensable," said Marjorie Hill, Ph.D., chief executive officer of GMHC, in a press release. She added, "In GMHC's 30th year, we remain committed to ending health disparities for youth and highlighting what is possible for young gay couples as they express trust, respect and commitment for one another."
In a recent Huffington Post article, Mike Ruiz, the celebrity photographer who shot the campaign, wrote about being compelled to be part of this campaign and why the message is so important:
This campaign's message is one that needs to be amplified and shared with everybody possible and anybody willing to listen. The most recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) show an alarming 48-percent increase in HIV infections among young, black gay and bisexual men between 2006 and 2009. The New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene reports a 50-percent rise in new HIV infections among young gay and bisexual men under the age of 30.
And here is the full circle that I've come into: As an adult, I count my blessings for having survived my tumultuous youth, especially realizing how, as a gay teenager, I lacked tools and guidance, which put me at high risk for a whole host of problems. As a consequence, I find it imperative that I do my share and speak of these issues affecting our community as frequently as possible, and I'm grateful when others do so, as well.
In my generation I was one of the "lucky" ones. I survived and thrived. But not all my peers were as lucky. The next generation of kids has a better chance at life thanks to educational outlets, such as Kiss & Tell, that are at their disposal. Increasingly, many of today's young gay men are empowering themselves with knowledge. I applaud them for being proactive and taking action, just as I applaud those who are acting as role models for the youth and the communities they live in.
GMHC is no stranger when it comes to MSM-affirming campaigns. In 2010, it launched the "I Love My Boo" campaign, which included posters depicting young black and Latino couples kissing, hugging and holding hands with the tag line: "We're about trust, respect and commitment. We're proud of who we are and how we love." The posters were visible on 1,000 New York City subways and in 150 subway stations.

i got the parts from australian cv and power steering exchange in slacks creek...
you can get them from anlmost any power steering remanufacturer... (they will be very hesitant to sell them to you.)
i know of tbs in capalaba (i used to work there)
and bhss on the northside...
i will add you need some 2000grit sand paper, some petroleum grease, and some htb grease.
to start with you need the rack out of the car, once you have it, wind it lock to lock a few times to expel any p/s fluid that is still inside the hydraulic chamber. (do this somewhere you dont cae about mess, because it will spray a lot out.
next stage you need to pull the rack apart, so to start with you need to remove the power head cap (held on by a large circlip) and the base of the powerhead has a cap over a nut, remove the cap and nut..
before the head comes out, you will need to release the tensioner remove it completely taking note the way the spring sits on the teflon runner
(as there are 2 different racks for the n13)
then the head should be able to be removed easily... next stage is to remove the end cap on the rack, located on the opposite side to the head. the good old stilson wrench should do the trick.
then the rack itself should be able to be slid out... along will come the seal from the cap side, and a spacer, take note on the order of them coming out.
then the rack itself will be seperate from the housing... inside the housing there will be more seals to remove, one down the barrel and one inside the power head housing. (again take note of the seals that come out)
the bearing in the base of the power head should be popped out also.
now you will be left with a completely bare rack. clean all the grease out of the rack housing, and the rack shaft.
now here is the fun part, inspect the shaft for uneven wear and rust spots, these will need to be polished out, (but in a specific way) dont go along the shaft lengthways, go around the shaft as to not wear grooves into it. be carefull not to take too much off the shaft
the same will need to be done on the powerhead to ensure the seals will not foul on any rust or grooves.
next you will want to clean the shaft and powerhead to remove any grit from sanding.
now comes re-assemby there is a teflon bush on the rack shaft with a rubber O ring underneath it , remove it and get the new bush and O ring from the rack kit and fit it (be sure not to stretch the teflon bush or twist it as you will not get a good seal.
now the powerhead bushes need to be removed and replaced with the new seals from the kit. as again, be careful when fitting the new bushes as to not strech them too much or twist them, and make sure they fit into the groove snugly.
time to fit the new seal into the powerhead housing. apply a generous coat of petroleum grease to the seal (will help later on refitting the powerhead so the seal doesnt tear)
now the shaft will need the new seals slid down it on the toothed side, slide the seal and steel spacer onto it in the order it came off, making sure the flat of the seal is facing the outside of the rack. (use wax paper over the teeth as to not tear the seal on the rough parts of the teeth)
use liberal amounts of petroleum grease
slide the new seal onto the other side of the rack shaft. just like you did to the other side.
now the shaft will be ready to be slid back into the housing. gently slide it back in untill it stops, you will need to tap the shaft in to seat the inner seal (be carefull not to jar the seal) then replace the end cap and spacer.
time to put the powerhead back in... gently slide it into the housing (note it will twist itself as it meshes with the rack teeth) use plenty of htb grease.
re-fit the bearing in the bottom of the powerhead housing and use the new nut in the kit to tighten it up, grease it up and then re-fit the cap (sometimes a bit of pipe sealant may be needed)
the powerhead cap needs it's seal replaced now, do so then re-fit it to the powerhead housing and secure it with it's circlip.
time to re-fit the tensioner. unwind it slightly.
make sure the teflon runner has it's steel plate inside it so the spring will seat on it, then add the tensioner to the rack (with it's gasket) and tighten the 2 bolts.
now you need to set the load on the rack, tighten the tensioner untill most (not all) of the side movement is gone. wind the rack lock to lock to see if it feels notchy, if so back off the tension untill it goes away.a small amount of side movement should still be present.
centralise the rack and refit the 2 spacer stops that came off the outside of the rack.
now refit the rack ends, maing sure you bend over the locking tabs...
grease the rack end swivel joints and apply more grease inside the gears of the rack, then fit your rack boots...
you should have something that looks like this.
now refit the bastard to your car and enjoy steering that doesnt feel like a bitch.

No Croutons Required - The Winner for September
The challenge for September was to come up with a soup or salad suitable for Vegans. We had a short, but sweet selection of entries this month. Congratulations to Helen of Fuss Free Flavors who served up a stylish Tenderstem and Semi-Confit Tomato Salad. This elegant side would grace any autumn dinner plate.
Jacqueline will be hosting the October edition of No Croutons Required. The theme this month is vegetarian sandwiches; certainly sandwiches are a lovely accompaniment to soups and salads.

BOSTON, Mass. - A total team effort would carry volleyball to their fourth straight Little East Conference win as they defeated the Corsairs of UMass Dartmouth by the final of 3-0 Tuesday evening in the Clark Athletic Center Gymnasium.
With the win the Beacons push their overall record back to .500 as they stand at 12-12, but most importantly they improved to 4-0 in the conference to remain as one of the top teams in the Little East. UMass Dartmouth fell to 6-14 on the season and 1-4 in the conference following the decision.
UMB made quick work of the Corsairs in all three games defeating them by the finals of 25-12, 25-12, and 25-14.
As a team the Beacons hit a combined .324 scoring 33 kills on 74 attempts. Bri Sousa (Swansea, Mass.) had a solid showing scoring seven kills on 12 attempts for a .500 hitting percentage. The Little East Conference Player of the Week, Megan Pollock (Wilton, Calif.) fueled the offense with 18 assists and also had four aces.
Freshman Pepper Baker (Tallahassee, Fla.) recorded a career best five aces to close out the third game and the match for the Beacons. Defensively UMB saw four players record a team-best seven digs including Corrine Porter (Huntington Beach, Calif.), Amber Clemons (Simi Valley, Calif.), Christine DuPuis (Minden, Nev.), and Baker.
Freshman hitter Julia Murphy notched a pair of solo blocks, while Sousa tallied three block assists, followed by Kirsten Morrison (North Reading, Mass.) with two, and Jodie Munchbach (Dedham, Mass.) with one.
For the Corsairs Eliza Bowes finished with five kills along with Kelly Lyons. Setter Christina Spinazola tallied 13 assists, and had a pair of aces. Brianna Perry came-up with 10 digs, followed by Spinazola who had seven on the night.
Volleyball returns to action this Friday when they face Rivier University at 7 p.m. at the MIT Invitational in Cambridge.

This action might not be possible to undo. Are you sure you want to continue?
First rule of thievery: don't be a hero. When Eli broke the rules and saved the Council Kingdoms, he thought he knew the price, but resuming his place as the Shepherdess's favorite isn't as simple as bowing his head. Now that she has her darling back, Benehime is setting in motion a plan that could destroy everything she was created to protect, and even Eli's charm might not be enough to stop her. But Eli Monpress always has a plan, and with disaster rapidly approaching, he's pulling in every favor he can think of to make it work, including the grudging help of the Spirit Court's new Rector, Miranda Lyonette.
But with the world in panic, the demon stirring, and the Lord of Storms back on the hunt, it's going to take more than luck and charm to pull Eli through this time. He's going to have to break a few more rules and work with some old enemies if he's going to survive.

The pioneering aviator Amelia Earhart vanished over the Pacific Ocean in 1937 while attempting to circumnavigate the globe. Various reasons have been given for her disappearance. Some claim she was a spy, and that she was shot down and captured by Japanese forces; some believe she faked her own death; and a few even claim she was abducted by aliens. Last year researchers claimed they had discovered remnants of her aircraft using sonar readings.
The Bermuda Triangle
The roughly triangular area bounded by Miami, Bermuda and Puerto Rico is where dozens of aircraft and ships are said to have vanished in unusual circumstances, with the disappearances attributed to paranormal or extraterrestrial activity.
Notable incidents include the disappearance of Flight 19, a US Navy bomber, on December 5, 1945, as well as the aircraft sent to search for it; that of a Douglas DC-3 aircraft with 32 people on board in 1948; and a mid-air collision between two US Air Force planes in 1963.
"D B Cooper"
In 1971, an unidentified man traveling under the name of "Dan Cooper" managed to hijack a Boeing 727, extort a $200,000 ransom, and leap from the rear exit on the aircraft (with a parachute), never to be seen again. No conclusive evidence has emerged confirming his true identity or subsequent whereabouts, but FBI investigators claimed he would not have survived the jump.
A year after the incident "Cooper vanes" were installed to disable aircraft doors while the landing gear is up.
Twa Flight 800
Trans World Airlines Flight 800, a Boeing 747, exploded and crashed into the Atlantic Ocean near East Moriches, New York, on July 17, 1996, resulting in the deaths of all 230 people on board.
While many speculated that terrorists were to blame, no evidence of a criminal act was discovered by the FBI following a 16-month investigation. Others suggested that a US Navy vessel blew up the plane with a missile strike, and that the US Government has since instigated a cover-up.
A report published on August 23, 2000, concluded that a short circuit was the most likely cause of the explosion.
Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571
On October 13, 1972, a Uruguayan air force plane carrying 40 passengers and five crew members disappeared while crossing the Andes. Seventy-two days later, after everyone on board was presumed dead, 16 survivors emerged. The story of how starvation drove them to eat some of the dead passengers was made into the 1993 film "Alive".
Air France Flight 447
In the early hours of June 1, 2009, Air France Flight 447 from Rio de Janeiro to Paris went missing, along with 216 passengers and 12 crew. The Airbus A330-200 disappeared mid-ocean, beyond radar coverage and in darkness. It took a shocked and bewildered Air France six hours to concede its loss and for several days no trace of it was found. Even when wreckage was discovered, the tragedy was no less perplexing. The aircraft had flown through a thunderstorm, but there was no distress signal, and the jet was state-of-the-art, a type that had never before been involved in a fatal accident. The aircraft's black boxes were recovered nearly two years later, at the bottom of the ocean. A final report, published in July 2012, said the accident occurred due obstruction of the "pitot tubes" due to ice crystals, which caused the auto-pilot to disengage, as well as human error. It later emerged that the pilot had only slept one hour the previous night after a romantic jaunt in Brazil with his girlfriend.
Helios Airways Flight 522
On August 14, 2005, air traffic controllers in Greece lost contact with Helios Airways Flight 522, but the plane remained in the holding pattern for Athens Airport for more than an hour. At one point, a Greek fighter jet was scrambled, and spotted the pilot slumped over the controls. Around half an hour later the plane started to descend, crashing into the hills near Grammatiko, killing all 121 passengers and crew (the deadliest air disaster in Greek history). An investigation revealed that a gradual loss of cabin pressure had left the crew incapacitated.
Flying Tiger Line Flight 739
On March 16, 1962, a Lockheed L-1049 Super Constellation propliner carrying 93 US soldiers and 3 South Vietnamese, disappeared in clear weather on its way to Clark Air Base in the Philippines, prompting an eight-day search of more than 200,000 square miles. Eye witnesses on a civilian tanker reported seeing an explosion, but no remains were ever found.
Egyptair Flight 990
In 1999, Egyptair Flight 990 from New York to Cairo plummeted into the Atlantic Ocean around 60 miles off the US coast. All 217 people died in the crash, but mystery still surrounds its cause. The Egyptian Flight Officer controlling the plane was recorded repeatedly saying "I rely on God" moments before the disaster, and a colleague claimed he crashed the jet as an act of revenge after being reprimanded by the airline for sexual misconduct, but an investigation concluded he did not deliberately cause the accident.
BSAA Avro Lancastrian Star Dust
In August 1947, Star Dust, a British South American Airways airliner vanished as it flew between Buenos Aires, Argentina, and Santiago, Chile, via Mendoza. No wreckage was discovered for over 50 years, provoking conspiracy theories about sabotage and abduction by aliens. A Rolls Royce engine and the remains of nine of the eleven victims were eventually found at the foot of a glacier in the Andes.

Be a Covenant Keeper
Standards of Strength
At baptism we covenant to serve the Lord and keep His commandments. When we partake of the sacrament, we renew that covenant and declare our willingness to take upon ourselves the name of Jesus Christ. Thereby we are adopted as His sons and daughters and are known as brothers and sisters. He is the father of our new life. Ultimately, in the holy temple, we may become joint heirs to the blessings of an eternal family, as once promised to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and their posterity. Thus, celestial marriage is the covenant of exaltation.
When we realize that we are children of the covenant, we know who we are and what God expects of us. His law is written in our hearts. He is our God, and we are His people. Committed children of the covenant remain steadfast, even in the midst of adversity. When that doctrine is deeply implanted in our hearts, even the sting of death is soothed and our spiritual stamina is strengthened.
The greatest compliment that can be earned here in this life is to be known as a covenant keeper. The rewards for a covenant keeper will be realized both here and hereafter.

'Barefoot Bandit' Pleads Guilty in Washington Court
COUPEVILLE, Wash. – Colton Harris-Moore pleaded guilty Friday to burglary and theft charges in the Barefoot Bandit case that brought him international notoriety and a movie deal for his story.
Wearing handcuffs and an orange jail uniform in Coupeville, he softly answered yes Friday when the judge asked if he understood his rights. He said guilty when the judge asked how he wanted to plead.
Several victims and a few curious citizens watched in Island County Superior Court, along with Harris-Moore's aunt.
"He was a menace," prosecutor Greg Banks said. "His burglaries threatened and distressed people ... They didn't know if they came back from vacation their houses would have been broken into."
He pleaded guilty to a total of 16 counts from Island County, including identity theft, theft of firearm and residential burglary. Then the hearing continued with Harris-Moore pleading guilty to 17 counts from San Juan County.
Afterward he sat next to his attorney, John Henry Browne, with his eyes downcast, looking younger than his 20 years
Harris-Moore's daring run from the law earned him international fame and a movie deal to help repay his victims after he flew a stolen plane from Indiana to the Bahamas in July 2010, crash-landed it near a mangrove swamp and was arrested by Bahamian authorities in a hail of bullets.
Friday's proceedings before Judge Vickie Churchill consolidate cases against Harris-Moore in three Washington counties, including Snohomish. He has already pleaded guilty to federal charges in Seattle and will be sentenced for those crimes early next year. He will serve his state and federal sentences at the same time.
State prosecutors are asking for a nine-and-a-half year sentence. Browne and attorney Emma Scanlan, are seeking a six-year term, citing Harris-Moore's bleak childhood in a Camano Island trailer with an alcoholic mother and a series of her convict boyfriends. They laid out the details of his upbringing in psychiatric and mitigation reports filed with the court.
Harris-Moore's first conviction came at age 12, in 2004, for possession of stolen property, and according to the reports, his first experience with burglary came when he broke into the homes of his classmates to steal food because his mother spent most of her Social Security income on beer and cigarettes -- something she has denied.
Over the next three years he was convicted of theft, burglary, malicious mischief and assault, among other crimes. At one point he was arrested when a detective posed as a pizza-delivery driver.
In 2007, the boy was sentenced to three years in a juvenile lockup after pleading guilty to three burglary counts in Island County. But he fled the minimum-security facility in April 2008 and was soon back to his old tricks, breaking into unoccupied vacation homes, stealing food and sometimes staying there.
As red-faced investigators repeatedly failed to catch him, his antics escalated: He began stealing planes from small, rural airports and crash-landing them -- at least five in all.
"What was characterized by the media as the swashbuckling adventures of a rakish teenager were in fact the actions of a depressed, possibly suicidal young man with waxing and waning post-traumatic stress disorder (following his first plane crash in November 2008)," wrote Dr. Richard S. Adler, a psychiatrist who evaluated him for the defense lawyers.
Waves of burglaries broke out on Orcas Island, where Kyle Ater runs his Homegrown Market and Deli, in late 2009 and in early 2010, after stolen planes were found at the airport there. The second time, Harris-Moore left Ater's new security system in a utility sink, under a running faucet.
He took cash and a tray of croissants, and Ater's insurance company jacked up his rates.
Mike Parnell, a former owner of the Oakley sunglasses company who lives on Orcas, was repeatedly victimized. Harris-Moore hid out for long periods in the second level of his hangar at the airport, and when Parnell and his family would go on trips in their plane, Harris-Moore would take their car to their house and eat their food. At one point, Harris-Moore entered their home while Parnell was there with his wife and three children and grabbed his wife's car keys off a counter.
"We were all fearing for our lives," Parnell said Thursday. "The kids wouldn't sleep in their own bedrooms. We purchased night vision goggles. I'm glad that day is finally approaching when we will finally know what the consequences are, and I hope it's sufficient for the way our whole island suffered."
Harris-Moore's final spree came after he stole a pistol in eastern British Columbia and took a plane from a hangar in Idaho, where investigators found bare footprints on the floor and wall.
That plane crashed near Granite Falls, Wash., after it ran out of fuel.
He made his way to Oregon in a 32-foot boat stolen in southwestern Washington -- stopping first to leave $100 at an animal shelter in Raymond, Wash. From Oregon, authorities said, Harris-Moore traveled across the United States, frequently stealing cars from the parking lots of small airports. In Indiana, he stole another plane and made for the Bahamas, more than 1,000 miles away, where authorities finally caught him in a manhunt that spanned multiple islands.
Fox bought the movie rights in a deal that could be worth $1.3 million, and Dustin Lance Black, who won an Academy Award for writing the movie "Milk," about the gay rights activist Harvey Milk, is working on the screenplay. He's met with Harris-Moore several times at the Federal Detention Center in SeaTac, according to Lance Rosen, Harris-Moore's entertainment lawyer.
Harris-Moore doesn't get to keep any of the money under the terms of his federal plea deal.

9/11 memorial given a new name, to tour country
NEW YORK - The Sept. 11 memorial is taking a new name, survivors' stories and artifacts from its planned museum on a national tour that begins in South Carolina on the eve of the terrorist attacks' sixth anniversary.
The 15-city tour throughout the South and Midwest is modeled after the 1980s campaign that raised money to renovate the Statue of Liberty by establishing it as a national icon, organizers say.
"We are building a national symbol here that people are going to look at and hopefully associate as being American," said Joseph Daniels, president of the memorial's foundation.
Previously known as the World Trade Center Memorial, the memorial's official name is now the National September 11 Memorial Museum at the World Trade Center. The memorial debuted a new logo and Internet address Tuesday.
Daniels said "World Trade Center" was dropped from the beginning of the memorial's name to better reflect the scope of the attacks that also hit the Pentagon and brought down a jetliner in a Shanksville, Pa., field. The city lists 2,750 people killed in the New York attacks, including a woman who died months later of lung disease; 224 died at the Pentagon and in Pennsylvania.
"This memorial is every bit of a part of someone's life who is from Columbia (S.C.) as it is someone who lives two blocks from ground zero," Daniels said. "This brings to mind that this not just a New York event."
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, the government agency that owned the trade center and stores more than 1,000 pieces of tower steel and other artifacts at an airport hangar, had no comment on the name change.
Paula Grant Berry, a foundation board member whose husband was killed at the trade center on Sept. 11, said the name is more appropriate for a national memorial to the attacks.
Berry said the official title is "a bit of a mouthful" and said the name may change again over time. "People will not use the whole thing when they say, `I'm going to it,'" she said.
The national tour begins on Sept. 10 in Columbia, S.C., home to the company fabricating thousands of tons of steel for the memorial. Two 37-foot-long, 4-ton beams that will be installed at the memorial will travel with foundation leaders, Sept. 11 survivors, and exhibits including a firefighter's helmet, and the watch and building IDs of a man who escaped from the north tower.
Other stops planned include Cincinnati, where organizers will meet with four Ohio teenagers who walked 650 miles to raise money for the memorial. Other stops include Des Moines, Iowa; Madison, Wis.; Pittsburgh; and Fort Wayne, Ind. Tour organizers said earlier this year they planned stops at cities like Boston, San Francisco and Denver.
Daniels said Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who chairs the memorial board and has spearheaded its fundraising for a year, did not choose the new cities on the tour, which include several stops in presidential swing states. The mayor hasn't yet committed to which cities he would stop at on the tour. Bloomberg left the Republican Party in June and has actively courted speculation of a possible White House bid in 2008.
"During the planning process, the destination cities evolved, but they didn't evolve through discussions with City Hall," Daniels said.
More than $300 million has been raised privately and more than $400 million is committed by the government to build the 8-acre memorial, which will set two waterfall-filled pools just above the twin towers' footprints, surrounded by a glade of oak and sweetgum trees. Visitors will descend underground to a Sept. 11 museum and to view the waterfalls from below.

The Center for Brain Injury Rehabilitation
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) affects more than 1.5 million Americans each year. Yet no two injuries are alike nor do they create the same challenges for patients and their families. Furthermore, studies show that where an individual goes for treatment can make all the difference in his or her recovery.
At Kessler's Brain Injury Rehabilitation Center, patients benefit from a highly specialized program that is tailored to the unique physical and/or functional limitations, cognitive impairments, and emotional or behavioral difficulties of the individual. In fact, Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation is one of only 14 centers in the nation to be designated by the National Institute of Disability Rehabilitation and Research as a Model System for the treatment and research of traumatic brain injuries.
Our Approach
Kessler delivers an integrated and intensive brain injury rehabilitation program, including medical, nursing and therapy care, to best address the complex needs of each patient. As a specialized hospital, we provide the earliest possible start to brain injury rehabilitation to help optimize the recovery of individuals at every level of injury – from those in a minimally conscious state to those requiring outpatient cognitive rehabilitation.
Our goal-directed approach helps brain injury patients to:
- maximize arousal and responsiveness
- develop new cognitive and behavioral strategies to compensate for any deficits
- improve physical function and mobility to enhance the skills needed to perform daily activities
- overcome the psychological and social problems that often interfere with the adjustment to an independent life at home, work and/or in the community
As part of our comprehensive brain injury rehabilitation program, Kessler offers a highly specialized Severe Disorders of Consciousness (SDOC) Program. This pioneering program addresses the unique needs of individuals who are in a coma, vegetative or minimally-conscious state. It effectively combines medical care, pharmacological management and therapy interventions to maximize individual potential.
Our comprehensive brain injury rehabilitation program also focuses on the unique needs of individuals who have a dual-diagnosis of traumatic brain injury and spinal cord injury and require advanced treatment for their complex physical, functional and cognitive challenges.
Our Patients
- Patient Stories
Brett"If you have the determination, you can accomplish just about anything."
William"They gave me back my life ...
my life. And that's quite a gift."
Meet More Kessler Patients
Nearly two-thirds of the patients treated at Kessler's Center for Brain Injury Rehabilitation have experienced a traumatic brain injury, typically the result of a motor vehicle accident, fall, assault or sports-related injury. For others, the injury may have been caused by a tumor, infection, surgery or a lack of oxygen to the brain.
Brain injuries, whether traumatic or acquired, can range from mild to severe. They can interfere with the way a person thinks, behaves and functions, leaving the individual unable to perform basic tasks and affecting memory, concentration, communication, speech, swallowing and vision, as well as mobility. For some, recovery can take weeks or months. For others, it is a lifelong process. Our brain injury rehabilitation professionals understand this and work tirelessly to help patients maximize their skills and independence.
Our Rehabilitation Team
Kessler's interdisciplinary team draws on the expertise and experience of brain injury rehabilitation specialists, including:
- Physicians who manage our patients' complex medical needs around the clock
- Rehabilitation nurses who provide compassionate, evidence-based care to each patient
- Physical, occupational and speech therapists who involve patients in an intensive and comprehensive treatment program for a minimum of three hours each day
- Psychologists and neuropsychologists who address cognitive, emotional or behavioral issues
- Case managers who carefully coordinate the individual's stay and discharge plans
Treatment, Technology & Research
Long recognized as a pioneer in brain injury rehabilitation, Kessler continues to explore the most effective evidence-based treatment, pharmacologic interventions and behavioral management strategies to support the recovery of each patient. Among the many advances currently available to appropriate individuals are:
- Videofluoroscopy and Vital Stim® to diagnose and treat swallowing disorders
- Body Weight Supported Treadmill Training (BWST) and Bioness® wireless electrical stimulation devices to improve gait performance and mobility
- Robotic therapies, splinting devices such as the SaeboFlex®, constraint induced therapy and electrical stimulation to improve arm and hand function
- Innovative cognitive therapies, including computer-based activities, to support individual progress
- Brain-mapping technologies and pharmacologic interventions for appropriate patients
Specialized Services
Individuals with brain injury have a wide range of physical and functional challenges, as well as rehabilitation goals. To best meet those brain injury rehabilitation needs, Kessler provides a full range of services to treat sleep/wake cycles, responsiveness and arousal, speech and swallowing disorders, spasticity, balance and vestibular conditions, vision problems and pain management. In addition, through our renowned Driver Rehabilitation Program, appropriate individuals may be able to acquire the skills necessary to drive a car or van.
We also offer support groups and extensive educational programming that enable patients and their families to share information, discuss common concerns and draw on the experiences of others.
Continuum of Care
To help individuals with brain injury successfully transition to life at home, work/school or in the community, Kessler offers an unparalleled continuum of inpatient through outpatient care. In addition to physical, occupational and speech therapies, Kessler offers a nationally renowned Cognitive Rehabilitation Program (CRP). This unique outpatient brain injury rehabilitation service helps patients to continue to build their cognitive, emotional and behavioral skills, reinforce learned strategies, and facilitate the achievement of educational and vocational goals.
Our Outcomes
Studies show that patients treated at an acute rehabilitation hospital like Kessler achieve better outcomes than those in other care settings. On average, Kessler brain injury rehabilitation patients have greater improvement during their stay and a higher level of functional independence upon discharge, based on with national benchmarks that measure criteria such as locomotion, cognitive ability and activities of daily living.

More than 100 of the most active Amateur Radio digital enthusiasts from around the world turned out in Denver, Colorado, September 13-15 for the 2002 ARRL/TAPR Digital Communications Conference. This year's event marked the 21st conference. Agenda topics ranged from APRS (Automatic Position Reporting System) to high-speed digital networking and software- defined radio (SDR), among others.
See pictures from the conference.
Proceedings are available.
FridayFriday's forums were dominated by discussions of APRS. Topics included a discussion of single-wire APRS weather stations, high-altitude balloon tracking and recovery presented by representatives from Edge of Space Sciences, APRS in the Sydney Olympics, and the versatile Findu.com on-line APRS database.

SaturdaySaturday's sessions included forums on the prospect of using consumer wireless devices (popularly known as 802.11b or 'Wi-Fi' devices) to create high-speed Amateur Radio digital networks. A forum on HF digital voice also drew considerable interest. One of Saturday's highlights was a demonstration of the new ICOM D-Star digital radio system. At the heart of DStar is the ID-1 transceiver, which ICOM had on display at the Dayton Hamvention last spring. The ID-1 operates on 1.2 GHz and can communicate using FM analog voice, digital voice, and data. The transceiver can be programmed with a desktop or laptop computer, or it can be operated in a more conventional manner via a remote front panel. ICOM's Ray Novak, KC7JPA, said D-Star will be available in the US in November.

Sunday Technical SeminarSDR was another hot topic at the conference and the Sunday seminar was devoted exclusively to that subject. Projects such as GNU Radio promise a day when amateur transceivers will achieve extraordinary levels of flexibility. Under the SDR paradigm, software, rather than the hardware, literally will 'define' the way in which a radio operates. Matt Ettus, N2JMI, presented the Sunday Technical Seminar.

Miami-Dade County
6 arrested in deadly smuggling trip off Miami Beach
Six of the 11 migrants who survived a deadly smuggling trip that ended when a motorboat capsized seven miles off Miami Beach — including the vessel's captain and crewman — were arrested Thursday. All had been previously deported from the U.S., most of them after having been convicted of serious crimes.
The crewman, George Lewis of Jamaica, faces a charge of attempted smuggling of the migrants, who came from the Bahamas, Haiti and Jamaica. None had permission to enter the country.
The 25-foot boat's captain was Naaman Davis of the Bahamas, according to federal court records. It was not clear Thursday why he was not also charged with attempted smuggling.
Lewis and any other accused smugglers could be charged with the deaths of four women who perished when the boat turned over.
The fatal voyage began in the Bahamas, a frequent departure point for Caribbean smugglers trying to reach South Florida. It concluded at around 2 a.m. Wednesday when U.S. Coast Guard crews rescued the survivors.
Six migrants interviewed by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security identified Davis and Lewis as the smugglers, according to a criminal complaint. One of those migrants said that a couple of days before the vessel departed the Bahamas, he saw Davis, Lewis and a known smuggler talking to each other in Bimini.
"Another one of the migrants interviewed stated that prior to their being brought ashore, Lewis had directed them all to tell the Coast Guard that the vessel captain swam away and never came back," the complaint says.
Lewis had been deported on May 13 over a drug-trafficking conviction. Davis had been deported on March 7.
The other four men arrested are Sean Gaynor, Kenard Hagigal, Matthew Williams and Everton Jones, who is also known as Everton Bryce. All six face charges of entering the U.S. illegally after being deported.
Williams was deported on Oct. 31, 2012, after being convicted of selling drugs on school property and selling controlled substances. Hagigal was deported on May 31, 2012, after being convicted of money laundering. Gaynor was deported on Oct. 27, 2011, after being in the country illegally. Jones was deported on Oct. 14, 2010, after a drug conviction.
According to WPLG-ABC 10, Lewis is 37, Williams is 30, Jones is 50, Gaynor is 27 and Hagigal is 34. The television station also reported that of the five migrants who were not charged, four were Haitian and one was Bahamian.
None of those migrants or the four dead women have been publicly identified. For federal prosecutors to make their case, it's possible the migrants could be allowed to remain in the country as witnesses to a crime.
Marleine Bastien, president of Haitian Women of Miami, said South Florida relatives of one of the women had identified her body. But she declined to disclose the woman's name until her remaining relatives could be notified.
"It was very heart-wrenching, to see first the hope and then the disappointment and the pain," Bastien said after returning from the Miami-Dade medical examiner's office.
Her organization has leads on the identities of two of the other women, Bastien said. She described two of the deceased as being in their 20s.
Coast Guard crews rescued the survivors, including a 15-year-old girl and a man who was suffering from seizures, after one of the migrants used a cell phone to call 911 at around 1:20 a.m. Wednesday to report that the boat had flipped southeast of Government Cut, the entrance to PortMiami.
No one on the overcrowded boat wore a life jacket.

CHAPEL HILL � Within two minutes of opening his post-game comments to reporters, North Carolina coach Roy Williams calmly had used a version of the word �frustrated� six times.
Not one, not two, not three, but six times while beginning to delve into his thoughts on the 21st-ranked Tar Heels� 93-87 squeaker past East Carolina at the Smith Center.
That repetitive term � frustrated � summarized what became a head-shaking, back-of-the-neck scratching Saturday afternoon that left North Carolina, albeit a winner, devoid of much satisfaction.
And it echoed through the answers afterward in the Tar Heels players lounge.
�You can�t feel good about a win like this,� forward James Michael McAdoo said.
�We made a lot of mistakes, we didn�t match their energy and those are things we can�t afford in the future,� guard Dexter Strickland said.
�I don�t feel good. I feel like it could�ve been a lot better,� swingman P.J. Hairston said. �I mean, a win is a win and everyone wants to win. But when you win a certain way � .
�I feel like we could�ve won this game by at least 15 if we would�ve played smarter toward the end.�
More than anything � more than the zero offensive rebounds from North Carolina�s post players that Williams lamented � the finish, or lack thereof, is what rankled the Tar Heels (8-2) the most.
East Carolina (6-2), coached by former Tar Heels standout Jeff Lebo and playing a men�s basketball game in Chapel Hill for the first time in school history, pumped in 61 second-half points and sliced a 78-65 deficit with 3� minutes remaining to four in the final 30 seconds.
With point guard Miguel Paul taking control and distributing, Akeem Richmond nailed four 3-pointers during the last 4:21 to rally the Pirates. Richmond�s final two 3s dropped in a 12-second span that made the score 89-85 and sent anxiety rising in the building.
�We did a horrible job on defense,� Strickland said.
�We were told that Akeem Richmond was a shooter,� Hairston said, shrugging his shoulders. �He got his shots and he hit almost every one in that last little spurt.�
East Carolina extended defensively and pressed down the stretch to climb back in the game.
Twice in the last 2� minutes, after over-dribbling turnovers committed by Marcus Paige and Strickland, Williams could be seen on the sideline mimicking a chest-passing motion.
�Just silliness. Both of those you�ve just got to pass the ball,� Williams said, later mentioning North Carolina�s limited practice schedule due to end-of-semester exams. �That�s the way our team played, like we haven�t been practicing.
�They (the Pirates) kept fighting and kept fighting. We gave them a lot of opportunities by screwing things up.�
McAdoo�s 19 points topped five Tar Heels in double digits. Hairston added 18 points off the bench, Reggie Bullock scored 14 before fouling out in the final minute and Strickland, a senior, supplied 12 points and a career-high 10 assists.
In the first half, the Tar Heels shot 55.2 percent from the field, then increased their lead to 18 in the opening minute of the second half and appeared poised to deliver a blowout.
That never materialized. And by the 13:43 mark of the second half, Williams burned a timeout, lowered onto one knee in the huddle and launched into a red-faced tirade.
�I can�t say what he said, because I can�t curse,� Strickland said, adding that the coach demanded more urgency.
A minute later, Williams, clearly miffed at North Carolina�s frontline, inserted an undersized lineup of all guards and wings that contained nobody taller than 6-foot-7 � Bullock, Hairston, Leslie McDonald, J.P. Tokoto and Luke Davis.
�Right now, there�s not anything ol� Roy�s ecstatic about, let�s put it that way,� Williams said. �We�ve got to do a lot of work. That�s the bottom line.�
East Carolina�s Richmond, who Lebo said served as a ball boy at North Carolina games while growing up, poured in all 17 of his points during the second half.
Maurice Kemp contributed 15 points and 14 boards and Paul provided 15 points and eight assists for the Pirates, who heated up from 30.3-percent shooting in the first half to 52.9 percent in the second half.
�We shot the ball very well in the second half to make things interesting,� Lebo said. �Coach Williams has a young team and I�ve got a little bit more experienced guys. I like experienced guys. I�m proud of my group, proud of my team. We battled.�
TIP-INS �: McAdoo was asked about the post-game message in the Tar Heels locker room. �The way we played is unacceptable and will not be allowed anymore,� McAdoo said, repeating Williams� words. � Strickland has dished out 26 assists in the last three games. He has 50 assists compared to 16 turnovers on the season. � Fourteen of Hairston�s points came in the second half. � Tokoto, a freshman, set a season high with 10 points. � McAdoo scored eight points during the game�s opening four minutes. � Freshman forward Brice Johnson received his second start of the season beside North Carolina regulars McAdoo, Bullock, Strickland and Paige. Johnson finished with five points and four rebounds in 15 minutes of playing time. Williams said Johnson wasn�t feeling well. �I made the decision I was going to start Brice and then I go to pre-game and he�s sick as a dog,� Williams said. � Lebo, a North Carolina guard from 1985-89, was greeted by a warm ovation after East Carolina�s starters were introduced. �It�s a special place for me, obviously,� he said. �That was awfully nice of the people here to do it. It meant a lot to me as well as my family.� � Alamance County sheriff Terry Johnson, an East Carolina alum, was decked out in purple eight rows behind the Tar Heels bench.

David Cameron: The PM plays down his gentlemanliness for fear of sounding snobbish
Who is the Dr Thomas Arnold of the comprehensive schools? There does not appear to be one. Socialists and egalitarians have an unshaken faith in the virtue of the comprehensive ideal. But they have failed to call forth the inspiring figure who could offer, in his or her own school, an elevated demonstration of the ideal put into practice. It is all very well to wear a T-shirt bearing a picture of a Latin American revolutionary, if anyone still does, but Che Guevara wasn't running a school. The socialists suffer from an acute shortage of constructive heroes, which is why the Soviet Union was reduced to inventing such ludicrous ones.
But this is not just a problem for socialists. As headmaster of Rugby from 1828 to 1841, Dr Thomas Arnold sought to instil "1st, religious and moral principles: 2ndly, gentlemanly conduct: 3rdly, intellectual ability." The new or revived public schools of the 19th century had all sorts of practical purposes, being designed to enable their pupils to pass the exams which permitted entry to various professions, and to provide an imperial ruling class. But the education they offered was saved from becoming aridly utilitarian because they were devoted to the formation of Christian gentlemen. One of the distinguishing marks of a gentleman was that he did things because he knew they were the right thing to do, not because they would bring him personal advantage. Captain Oates was a very gallant gentleman.
The idea of a gentleman was a more inclusive one than it sounds to modern ears. One of its greatest advantages was that you could define it so as to include yourself. You could behave like a gentleman, without possessing any of the social attributes which a gentleman might have: there was no need to possess a coat of arms, or a country estate, or engage in field sports, or wear evening dress. At least since Chaucer's time, there had been a distinction between the social meaning of the word, and the moral. It was evident that well-born people, who ought to know how to behave like gentlemen, did not always do so, while others sometimes did.
Philip Mason, whose perceptive study, The English Gentleman, was published in 1982, argues that "the desire to be a gentleman" runs through and illuminates English history from the time of Chaucer until the early 20th century. He suggests that "for most of the 19th century and until the Second World War" the idea of the gentleman "provided the English with a second religion, one less demanding than Christianity. It influenced their politics. It influenced their system of education; it made them endow new public schools and raise the status of old grammar schools. It inspired the lesser landed gentry as well as the professional and middle classes to give their children an upbringing of which the object was to make them ladies and gentlemen, even if only a few of them also became scholars."

My Doctor Won't Prescribe Steroids for my ED/Fatigue
Hi. I'm 40 years old, Poz Male, on Medicaid in New York City. For the last 10 years I've been on a cocktail of Norvir, Reyataz, and Truvada. As of 3 years ago I was also prescribed Zoloft for Depression and Anxiety. I've noticed a gradual drop in my libido, a substantial wilt in the strength of my erection even on those rare occasions that I get one. Even then it doesn't last long. Frankly, it's embarrassing.
When I went to my doctor to ask about possible steroid use, he instantly shot me down. Among other excuses, he mentioned my T-Cell count was not low enough (320) and that my weight certainly wasn't low enough (230). He went on about how he could lose his license for prescribing me medically unwarranted medications, especially steroids. What can I do? I don't want him to compromise his job, but none of his reasons cancel out the fact that I can stay alert two to three hours tops during the day. I'm always tired, have no interest in sex, and am depresssed by what those two things mean to my love life prospects.
Thanks for any advice in advance
I doubt you've been on your current combination regimen for 10 years, as Truvada wasn't FDA approved until 2004! But that's really beside the point.
You have two problems that might be related: ED and fatigue. Both of them can be associated with HIV as well as with other conditions. Treatment for one or both of these conditions depends on the underlying cause(s).
Erectile dysfunction (ED) can be caused by a number of underlying conditions. Hypogonadism (low testosterone) is a common underlying cause and may be linked to your HIV-positive status. You should get a "free testosterone" blood test. If your level is low for age-matched controls, then testosterone replacement therapy would be warranted. Low testosterone levels can also be associated with fatigue, loss of muscle mass and other symptoms as well. Another common cause of ED is depression and side effects from some of the drugs used to treat depression. You should check with your HIV specialist or psychiatrist to see if this is contributing to your problem. Depression can also cause fatigue, sleep and appetite disturbance, and other symptoms as well. You'll need to discuss these as well as other potential underlying causes of ED with your doctor.
Similarly HIV-associated fatigue can be caused by a wide array of potential underlying causes, from anemia to medication side effects to unrecognized infection. Check out the chapter in the archives of this forum dedicated to causes of HIV-associated fatigue. I'd suggest you peruse the information not only in the chapter on causes of HIV-associated fatigue but also in the chapters on treatment of HIV-associated fatigue and on hypogonadism. Discuss this information with your HIV specialist. Once the underlying cause or causes of your problems are determined, the proper treatment course can be prescribed.
Good luck.
Dr. Bob

The headline to this post sounds like the setup to a punchline.
"And neither will anyone else given the quarterbacks in Arizona." Ba-dum-dum.
That's an unintended benefit, however. It really has to do with the offensive philosophies of new head coach Bruce Arians. Arians was asked about what role the team's running backs would play in the passing game and said it was going to be a minimal one outside of blocking long enough to give the team a chance to make plays to the wideouts.
"They are back there because they are runners and pass protectors," Arians said, via the team's website. "Will we throw to the backs? Yeah. But the receivers are the ones paid to catch it. (Running backs) are helping but it's doubtful our running back leads the team in receiving."
That's pretty much par for the course in an Arians offense. Colts running backs had just 34 catches as a group last season and, outside of a couple of years with Mewelde Moore having 40+ receptions, Arians' Steelers teams didn't throw much to backs either.
Arizona has Ryan Williams and Beanie Wells on the roster with LaRod Stephens-Howling set to become a free agent next month. Stephens-Howling would seem to be the one hurt the most by Arians' dislike of throwing to backs, but he handled himself well as a starter last season and his special teams contributions may still make him a player that the Cardinals want to keep.

Whilst on a promo run for her new fragrance 'Pulse', Bey spoke to Associated Press and revealed some of the business ventures she hopes to explore in the future.
Balance. I am still working on balance and still growing. I am starting my company, my label. I want to create a boy band. I want to continue to produce and do documentaries and music videos. I eventually want to start directing for other artists. Once I know that I have my stuff together and I trust that, I can do it for other artists.
I see so many male artists building these empires and passing their knowledge on to other artists and development. I see myself doing the same thing and hopefully other younger artists when they grow up and they have been around for 15, 20 years, they can do the same thing.

would you say the united states current health care system is good?
I am going to speak from experience. My uncle who lives in Canada needed a heart transplant. Well he was put on the waiting list for about two years. Wooh! Bums who didn't work a day in their life got medicine before him and he ended up having his life endangered.
Common Sense Reasons
We'd need more Doctors, so the quality of Doctors and Medicine would go down.
And remember when Canada had to transfer a bunch of their patients to America to handle it for them.
They couldn't handle the surplus!
I would write more but I got to go.
You have a point in terms of the logistics of universal healthcare. However, I don't believe health coverage should be a sign of status either. Healthcare to me is a right not as much as a privelege. Iindividually we all need to do more to prevent what is preventable. That would ease a lot of the problems, but we don't. Just because someone is a "bum" , it doesn't make them less valuable as human beings. Trust me, i've seen that side of it and the fact of the matter is if people are sick they are sick, and the poorest people have no options but to jam up emergency room with non emergencies. I'm not a politics kind of person, i just go on my experience. I'm sure if you have coverage you feel the system is not too bad, but when you don't have anything, the system as it currently stands is fucked. I've been on both sides.

Jonah Lehrer wrote a brilliant little article about Costco over at the Science Blog. An excerpt:
The secret of Costco's success – and the reason I'm willing to pay just to enter the store – is because I trust the company to give me a good deal. As a result, I don't comparison shop on my phone when I'm browsing the Costco aisles, checking to see if I can get the same book, or sunglasses, or toothpaste for less on Amazon. My usual cheapskate anxieties have been quieted.
And then, later:
And this is where all those details of the Costco shopping experience make us more likely to spend money. The bare bones warehouse aesthetic, the discounted house brand, the constant reassurance that we're paying "wholesale" prices – it's all an effective means of convincing us to not worry so much about the price tag. As a result, we're able to focus entirely on our anticipated pleasures, which is why I walk out of the store with all this stuff I don't need.
Quite often in the past, I've discussed the advantages of shopping at warehouse clubs. I currently have a Sam's Club membership (it's the only warehouse club anywhere near my home) and have visited Costco several times in the past – the shopping experience is almost identical.
What I've learned is that almost always, you do save money when you shop there, but only if you buy things you would buy normally anyway.
Of course, that's not where the profit lies for a warehouse club. If they earn a return on every item you buy, then they make a larger profit. It's business 101.
Thus, the store is often set up to encourage you to buy more. They already have the psychological benefit of the idea that the stuff there is inexpensive – and it often is – but that often convinces people that things are a "deal" there and that they don't really have to look at the price tag or think about whether they really need the item at all.
Take, for example, my last visit to Sam's Club. I went there merely to buy Pull-Ups for my daughter. By the time I neared the checkout, I had several items in my cart – a paperback book, a large container of grapes, a two-pack of my son's favorite fruit juice, and a few other odds and ends. Once I thought about each of them for a little while, I realized I didn't actually need most of them – I was only buying them because I wanted them, thought they might serve a use for me, and believed the price was good. So I put them back and left only with the Pull Ups (a big win, in my eyes).
What can you do to avoid falling into this trap and spending more than you should on "bargains" (that aren't really bargains at all if it's not stuff you really need)? Here's how I usually work it.
I don't go in there without a shopping list. I know what I'm there to buy the second I walk in the door. The trip has a very specific purpose – I'm getting the items on my list and nothing else.
I don't even go down aisles that do not contain items on my list. Wandering is the enemy of frugal shopping, because you always see something you "need" that's a good "deal."
I re-evaluate everything in my cart as I approach the checkout. I look at every single item and ask myself if I actually need it or even want it that badly. Does it really serve a purpose in my life? Is that purpose worth the cost?
I usually shop with a buddy. That buddy is usually my wife. We talk ourselves out of an awful lot of frivolous purchases, which saves us both money. A good shopping buddy is someone who talks you out of stuff and doesn't talk you into stuff.
Warehouse stores are great tools for minimizing your grocery and household budget, but you have to be careful not to give into impulse buys, which warehouse stores make so easy. Good luck.
