In New Yorks 21st Congressional District, if theres no contingency plan for replacing a candidate, improvise. And improvise quickly.
The Democratic camp, which appeared to be in disarray in the days following the surprise announcement that William L. Owens, D-Plattsburgh, would not seek re-election, is organizing itself around a strategy to find the right replacement.
Patience, not panic, will win the day, according to Washington County Democratic Committee Chairwoman Sheila A. Comar.
Everybodys anxious about whats happening, said Mrs. Comar, who has become the designated spokeswoman for the Democratic Party in the 12 counties that make up the district. Were working on a coordinated plan of action. February is going to be a very active time for us.
Following a meeting Sunday, the party has instituted a policy to screen potential candidates.
Interested individuals are invited to submit a letter of intent and a resume to all 12 county chairpersons for review, Mrs. Comar said.
The committee heads, who speak once a week via teleconference, will discuss their prospects and the party will reach a consensus as to whom it will endorse, Mrs. Comar said.
A similar process in 2009 yielded the Democrats Mr. Owens himself the first member of their party to be elected to Congress from Northern New York in more than 100 years. Mr. Owens was a registered independent before he was chosen by the 11 Democratic county chairpersons of the former 23rd District to carry the partys mantle into a special election to replace Republican John M. McHugh, who had been named secretary of the Army.
I liked Bill, Mrs. Comar said. He lives here, he understands the issues, he could talk intelligently on any issue and always justified his decisions.
Mrs. Comar said that M. Scott Murphy, D-Glens Falls, a former congressman and venture capitalist, is one of the names that have been circulating but that Mr. Murphy had not yet submitted any materials to any of the county committees.
You dont speculate if we as the chairs dont get the information from that person, she said.
The Adirondack Daily Enterprise reported Friday that national Democrats were suggesting Mr. Murphy as one of the most viable candidates, citing an unnamed source at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
Mark Brumer, press secretary for the Northeast Region at the DCCC, declined to comment on Mr. Murphy or any other potential candidate but said, The DCCC is ready to work with Democrats in the north country to support who they think is the best candidate for the district.
Mrs. Comar said that while there may have been some initial shock over Mr. Owenss decision, there is still plenty of time to select a new candidate.
The day after the announcement, I think everybody panicked, she said.
A decision is expected in mid-February. Parties may begin circulating candidates petitions to be listed on the ballot on March 4.

Shoes fits excellent and provides a solid footing
Great tenis shoes
This shoes look good, are comfortable from day one, they offer great support and (as if that was not enough), they last forever. I have used Adidas (I wore out the soles of the first ones, cannot tolerate the second ones as they are super stiff), Nike Vapor 9 (awesome but lasted less than 6 months, Yonex (same as Nikes). So far the Asics are my favorites. On top of that, you can get fantastic deals on this color. I got my first pair for $89 and the second for less than $80!
Best Performance Shoe Available
Coming from numerous Nike shoes and Adidas shoes, this is the most comfortable and well fitted shoe Ive purchased.
Looks great, comfortable but-sole is too hard. Not able to get the squeak like in the res4. Have tripped on court twice now with these shoes. Bottom of sole is completely flat. Outside of big toes get red when playing in these shoes, so, will wear around town but not on court. Wish I would have bought more 4's. They were the best ever.
Excellent shoe.
Great shoe. No need to break in. Great cushion. The only negative about the shoes is the lateral support, I noticed my foot/ankle tend to invert when i stop then move sideways thus increasing the risk of ankle inversion sprain. But overall when it comes to comfort it's a great shoe. These shoes are highly recommended players who suffer from foot pain especially on the soles due to playing long hours.
Great Shoes
Ordered another pair of Gel Resol. #5's. If like the previous pairs I've purchased, no break-in time needed. Will hit the courts right out of the box. Went with blue this time. Love the color choices.
Very Good Shoe
Most comfortable and supportive tennis shoes I have had. Previously tried Adidas, Nike, New Balance but the comfort of this shoe excels. The heel cushioning is fantastic for me. Initially some medial ankle skin soreness due to the cushioning but that resolved after a while. Biggest complaint is that the shoe tongue will slip on me and I frequently need to adjust it. Otherwise. I will purchase another pair soon.
Asics Gel Res 5 Mens
Both my wife and I purchased the Res 5's - Love them, comfy, support, durable, great traction, good lookin....so far these are best tennis hard court options out there...the pros know too
Asics GR5
The GR5s are a great all around shoe. They are comfortable out of the box and really no break in required. They provide excellent support and are on the lighter side for a tennis shoe. Durability is pretty good. There are other shoes out there that are more durable but to me the GR5s are the best all around. I really can't complain about the durability because they come with a 6 month outsole warranty. Fantastic shoe!
Since 2005, I was introduced to ASICS from a friend who plays tennis a lot. ASICS tennis shoes are the best. The comfortable Gel Resolutions are excellent shoes. I have purchased over 20 pairs during the last 7 years. In addition, I'd the six months warranty as well. I love ASCIS Company for such warranty. I'd also introduced to several friends in the Tennis group. They love ASICS shoes. We played everyday, 3 hours each evening out door. Except those raining days and winter cold/snow- then we played indoors.
Like expected
I've been playing in the Resolution series since the 2's, and the new version is near what I expected. This rendition breaks in a little faster than the 4's.
very comfortable and flexible. good for people who have wide feet. and they are pretty durable. i play aggressively, sliding and dragging the toe alot. and it helps with the 6 month warranty. this shoe is worth the price
Update: For those accustomed to a wider shoe, these come in one width only but that is perfect for me. I used a wider shoe from another company in the past. Toe box is not cramped for me at all. If you have special insoles as I do, you can easily swap them out with the ones that come with the shoe. Lace holes are secure and not prone to wear as some other shoes.
Excellent Tennis Shoe
I bought these because of the two reviews that addressed a problem with plantar fasciitis. I concur that these have been the best shoes I have purchased in the year and a half that I have dealt with pf. I can walk with no pain at all in these shoes. In another week, if I get a green light from the podiatrist, I will try them on the tennis court. For the record, I have tried four other types of tennis shoes in the past year off the tennis court. So far these are a major plus.
Great fitting
No break in is required, which is rare for me. They have room in the toe box. I am able to move well in them. Great shoe.
Great shoe
Great comfort, low profile, feels secure but not stiff. Well padded. Have worn Barricade, Babolat, K-Swiss and like these best. Good looking shoe. 6-month warranty so two pairs only cost about $50 each.
the best
comfortable right out of the box, as well as stable on the court.
Great Transition
I have always worn Adidas to play tennis. Over the last 18-months I have dealt with plantar fasciitis and peroneal tendinitis in both feet. A pal from my USTA team told me how his knee pain went away almost overnight when he switched to the Gel Resolution. I did a lot of research on this shoe and competitors, and found them to be very comfortable when first putting them on. The first time playing took no break-in, and after three matches and a few drill sessions later I feel like I have found my future footwear. Such a light yet stable body, the sole really grabs the hardcourt surface - all while allowing the natural movement of my feet. I have had no issues with pain during play so that is always a plus. I am a fan.
Excellent shoes
I am a 4.0 double player, play 5 times a week. Own 2 pairs of Resolution 4. For apple to apple comparison, prefer Resolution 4 better. Both models offers great comfort, support and tracking. However, mid sole for Res-5 out of box feels slightly high and less comfortable as Res-4. Need to wear and play on court to further comment. Both models run 1/2 size bigger than normal. Since Res-4 is history now, so will purchase Res-5 when time comes.
Best for Me
Have tried other brands/models from Wilson and Adidas, but the Asics work best for me in regard to fit, wear, and comfort.
Good shoes
I give these 4 stars because I don't think they are worth $129.95. I was able to buy them for about $80, which was a great deal. The shoes are comfortable and feel very stable. What I'm not crazy about is the sole, which is much harder than my previous shoes (Nike vapor). If I could choose between the Nikes and these ones, I think I would go with the Nikes. However, I have the feeling that these will last a lot longer.
Asics Resolution 5 even better
I was a little worried that the Asics 5 shoe would not compare to the 4's. The 4's were my first purchase of Acis's shoes after many years of all the top flight Nike's. The 4's were the best tennis shoe I have ever worn period, So I was skeptical about the 5's and they are even better. This was one encore I liked. Most of the time we all die that the updated shoe does not even come close to the previous model and they messed up a good thing and our search starts all over again. I applaud Asic for outdoing themselves. You will not be disappointed in this one. So plans for a 6-I will be afraid all over again-lol....but hope for a repeat performance.
Nice fit
I'm so happy I got this new pair of shoes perfect fit!!!!
Asics gel 5 tennis shoes
Better than all the rest.
Huge Surprise!!
I was sold on Adidas barricade for years. I will have to say it was tough to make the plunge to buy try something different, but I am glad I did. I just played a competitive 4.4/5.0 singles match with these shoes right out of the box and loved them. I always bought the Barricade a1/2 size larger for toe room I did not have to do that with these. The 10.5 enough toe room to keep my toenails in check. I had to retie them up a couple of times during the match but once I settled in my feet felt great. After a 2 hours battle on the court the shoes gripped well and I felt light on my feet. Overall I love them. I bought 2 pairs.
Amazing confort and great support
I have recently a Adidas Barricade 8 prior to this order but when I receive my Asics Gel Resolution 5 Mens Tennis Shoes and start wearing them to play tennis I did did feel a big difference. I do really recommend this shoe 100%. You will get a great experience wearing them.
Have worn since the 3s
I haven't actually started wearing the 5s because I still have some 4s that I'm working through. Just bought 2x of the 5s to have ready to go and were on sale. I expect these to be no less than equal to the previous generations. Love the support and cushioning. Fit for me is excellent compared to other brands. I wear Asics running shoes as well.
Asics Revolution 5
Very comfortable shoe, but is too loose on the fore foot. I have very narrow feet and have difficulty getting the snug feeling I get from Adidas Barricade 6 and older.
Don't let all the fancy terminology scare you
Yesterday I played my first competitive match in my new Asics Gel Resolution 5 tennis shoes. The shoes were great right out of the box. I've been a New Balance customer for many years and thought it was time to try something new. The Asics Gel Resolution is everything I had hoped for and more. Comfortable, stable, attractive and priced right thru Midwest Sports clearance shoe sale. The manufacturers description talks about gait enhancement, flexon fit, trusstic systems, enhanced medial stability, etc. Not sure what all that means; however, these shoes feel good, look good and make me run faster and jump higher. All good things. Try them, I don't think you'll be disappointed.
Great shoes
Great shoes, feel light and good to wear on the court. Specially good for quick movement.
Comfort and Stability
Awesome shoes. Comfortable out of the box, and stable. Feel much lighter than they are. Toe box area is loose for wider forefoot but not enough to cause sliding.
Asics Gel Res 5
Likes: comfortable, relatively lightweight, stable Dislikes: eyelet area was a bit tough at first, but broke in after a couple hours
Great shoe!
I've been playing with these shoes all summer, and I like them better than a variety of other brand name shoes at about the same price point that I've worn in the past. I think my footwork is better.
Great upgrade from Prince
I have worn Prince shoes for years and loved them, however, I tried Asics Gel Resolution tennis shoes and I am glad I did. They offer great support, are light, and wear very well. I just ordered my 3rd pair. And the colors are awesome!
plantar fasciitis cure
I had been dealing with a case of plantar fasciitis for about 4 months. Every time I played tennis it really flared up and I could barely walk the next day. I took some time off and before I tried to play again decided to try a new shoe. One of the sales reps at Midwest sports recommended this shoe without hesitation. I've played 3 times now for 2 hours nor more in less than a week and have absolutely no pain.
Best Tennis Shoe To-Date
Wore tennis shoe for the last month on the court. Most comfortable tennis shoes ever experienced, excellent foot support for quick movement, and comparable to other first line shoes in other aspects. Looks are outstanding/noticeable with positive comments from other players.

U.S. Ambassador to India
Ambassador Roemer: "This is an internal issue for India and one that the U.S. expresses a great regret on the loss of lives and the violence that has taken place over the last several months. When there is bilateral talk between Pakistan and India, it will be at Indian and Pakistan's scope and pace and character. The President also said when he was here that he encourages Dr. Singh and the people of India to engage in these conversations with the government and people of Pakistan. He [President Obama] is unequivocally and fervently in favor of India having a permanent seat in a reformed United Nations. It was one of the many highlights of the President's visit to India to make this historic announcement. We applaud that and now we will be working to see that happens."

ANAMOSA, Iowa — An Anamosa man faces up to 60 years in prison for allegedly attempting to make meth near a school.
According to the U.S. Attorney's Office, 36-year-old Zackery L. Smock has been charged with one count of attempting to manufacture meth by a drug felon near a school.
Smock is accused of manufacturing and attempting to manufacture meth within 1,000 feet of Saint Patrick's School in Anamosa on March 7, 2014. Smock's attempts at meth making resulted in a fire at the home. Smock and four other people were at home when the fire broke out, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.
Smock appeared in federal court in Cedar Rapids on Thursday and was held without bond. A detention hearing has been scheduled for May 27.
In addition to the potential imprisonment, Smock faces a fine up to $4 million, a $100 special assessment and a minimum of six years of supervised release following any imprisonment.
According to online court records, Smock has a lengthy arrest record. He was charged in Jones County in 2012 with second-degree arson and a controlled substance violation. However, in September 2013, Smock agreed to a plea deal which saw the arson charge get dismissed and the controlled substance violation be reduced from a Class B to a Class C felony. His 10-year prison sentence was suspended and he was ordered to serve one year in a residential facility, according to court records.

Anti-hepatitis B core antigen testing with detection and characterization of occult hepatitis B virus by an in-house nucleic acid testing among blood donors in Behrampur, Ganjam, Orissa in southeastern India: implications for transfusion

Virology Journal 2010, 7:204 doi:10.1186/1743-422X-7-204Published: 27 August 2010
Occult hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection might transmit viremic units into the public blood supply if only hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) testing is used for donor screening. Our aim was to evaluate the prevalence of occult HBV infection among the HBsAg negative/antiHBc positive donations from a highly HIV prevalent region of India.
A total of 729 HBsAg negative donor units were included in this study. Surface gene and precore region were amplified by in house nucleic acid test (NAT) for detection of occult HBV infection and surface gene was analyzed after direct sequencing.
A total of 220 (30.1%) HBsAg negative donors were antiHBc positive, of them 66 (30%) were HBV DNA positive by NAT. HBV DNA positivity among 164 antiHBc only group, was 27.1% and among 40 antiHBs positive group was 30.0%. HBV/D (93.3%) was predominant and prevalence of both HBV/C and HBV/A was 3.3%. Single or multiple amino acids substitutions were found in 95% samples.
Thus, a considerable number of HBV infected donors remain undiagnosed, if only HBsAg is used for screening. Addition of antiHBc testing for donor screening, although will lead to rejection of a large number of donor units, will definitely eliminate HBV infected donations and help in reducing HBV transmission with its potential consequences, especially among the immunocompromised population. The HBV genetic diversity found in this donor population are in accordance with other parts of India.

PHOTOS: Click here for amazing photos of Florida sinkholes
Seffner, Florida -- These days we are more sensitive about sinkholes than in years past, because of a terrifying incident that occurred one year ago today.
That's when the earth opened up under a home in Seffner, swallowing a man by the name of Jeff Bush.
The homes are gone. The property is leveled and fenced.
It's Jeff Bush's final resting place.
Tonight his family and friends gathered for a vigil in Jeff's memory. Children put flowers on a headstone outside the chainlink fence and relatives near it.
Among those who came to the vigil is the deputy who risked his own life trying to save Jeff. Doug Duvall was able to save Jeff's brother Jeremy, who had jumped into the hole after his brother, and was seconds away from becoming the Earth's second victim.
"I looked down there was a family member inside the hole trying to get the victim out," Duvall said that night, clearly still in shock from what he had witnessed.
He still second-guesses it.
"If the timing had been different. Maybe if by chance I would have been right here when it came out maybe the circumstances would have been a little bit different," he says now.

Today, Duvall still comforts the Bush family and they've become friends. Duvall says the images from that night that still haunt him.
"That first initial look when I walked to that back bedroom and taking in what I saw," he says, is the one that sticks with him. He could hear the ground "growling" he says. Like an earthquake.
Duvall says he drives by the empty lot just about every night he's on duty.
"I always stop and shine my light - 'cause I work at night," he said, "and you can see where the hole is, it's still sinking."
In November, Governor Rick Scott awarded Deputy Duvall the Medal of heroism for his selfless acts.
GRAPHIC: Florida's Sinkholes (PDF)
And now, with a full year to reflect on his actions?
"I would have done it again. I still will," he says.
There is still some question about what will become of the property.
Recently, Hillsborough County put off a decision to pick up the taxes and place a permanent marker here.
The family says today is not the day to debate that.
They simply want to remember their lost loved one. Even if it still has to be from the other side of chainlink fence.

TAMAR at the GATE
There's a certain, definite, albeit indescribable quality to post-World War II European fiction writing that marks it a different species from the literature of the United States. It's not about the quality of the writing. It's not about the intensity of the narrative or even the truths that are told through the fictions. If there is an appropriate word to use it is "sensibility" though I don't believe that that's quite right either. It would be easy, too easy, to ground the differences in the varied experiences of World War II and that is probably part of it. It would be easy, too easy, to ground the differences in the decades of occupation that much of Europe experienced after the war by the Soviet Union and governments aligned with it and that is also probably part of it.

Between Shades of Gray
"Have you ever wondered what a human life is worth? That morning, my brother's was worth a pocket watch."
Copper Sun
Set in the 18th century, Copper Sun tells the story of two protagonists, Amari and Polly. Amari is a fifteen-year-old Ashanti girl living in her village happily awaiting her marriage to Besa. Life is good in their village until one day slave traders invade the village killing much of Amari's tribe. The survivors are shackled and taken to Cape Coast where they are branded and forced into a slave boat which is headed to the Carolinas. Once there, Amari is sold to a plantation owner and given to his son Clay as his sixteenth birthday present.
It is on the plantation that Amari meets Polly, an indentured servant. The girls become involved in a horrible act of cruelty which affords them the opportunity to flee the Carolina plantation and head toward Florida where they dream of being free.
This book is dedicated to Draper's grandfather and grandmother, Estelle. In Draper's research of Copper Sun, she actually traveled to the slave castles in Ghana several years ago. Copper Sun is not an easy book to read—many of the passages are heart wrenching and emotionally draining. Yet Copper Sun is a story that must be told. Draper has written a truly moving story—a page turner indeed! Sharon Draper's Copper Sun is the winner of the 2007 Coretta Scott King Award.

Under the African sun is a typical African scene I created, a Massai woman fixes something on the back of her child's clothing passing her time with her family enjoying the sun, while her husband gazes into the sunset enjoying the birds of the sky as they fly back to their nests, and at the same time keeping an eye on his cattle in the distance.I love to create silhouette art because I get to leave a lot to the imagination. A little bit of painting, machine quilting, and lots of love!

On June 25, 2013, the Federal Circuit issued a significant decision expanding the scope of evidence that alleged infringers may present to rebut allegations of inducement. Commil USA, LLC v. Cisco Sys., Inc., No. 2012-1042 (Fed. Cir. Jun. 25, 2013). A majority of the panel ruled that evidence of an infringer's good-faith belief that the asserted patent is invalid is relevant to inducement. Overturning a finding of inducement and setting aside a US$74 million jury verdict, Judge Prost concluded that while "…we appear to have not previously determined whether a good-faith belief of invalidity may negate the requisite intent for induced infringement. We now hold that it may." Slip op. at 9.
Background -
Commil USA, LLC ("Commil") initially filed suit in the US District Court for the Eastern District of Texas alleging that Cisco Systems, Inc. ("Cisco") directly and indirectly infringed US Patent No. 6,430,395 (the "'395 patent"). The '395 patent discloses a method for managing wireless networks by dividing the communication protocol to improve the speed and reliability of handoffs between mobile base stations. The '395 patent's method enables mobile device users to maintain wireless connectivity when moving between mobile base stations within a network...

A software update is rolling out to the new Nexus 7 that should fix the multitouch problems, according to new reports.
For all of the praise for the new Nexus 7, it is not above the occasional glitch. Some early adopters of the next-gen tablet found problems with pinching to zoom or using two fingers.

Dr. Rob Naber's Ratings
I have seen many physical therapists and Dr. Naber is without doubt the best I have ever had. He is so caring and compassionate and is very dedicated to his patients. He is extremely smart and has an amazing understanding of the body. I have never met anyone else who can explain my condition like he does and knows exactly how to treat it. In addition, he is never afraid to think outside the box and is very willing to work with other practitioners.

Rob Naber was absolutely incredible. Very caring, very supportive, made me all better and gave me a plan to maintain everything. The rest of the staff was great also. Genuinely cares about his patients and passionate about what he does. He is very smart and knowledgable and up to date on the latest techniques and methods. No question he was worth the money of going out of network.

Creativity gives young chefs edge in pancake cooking contest at Oklahoma State Fair
"If we get caught up and can't make a decision then we really have to go with all the other things — eye appeal, creativity, ease of preparation," she said. "But first we'll start with smell. If it doesn't smell good enough to eat, it's not going to be good."
Under pressure
For the younger ones, the competition is an exercise in working under pressure.
James McAffrey, 9, spent much of his event with his head in his hands. The Oklahoma City boy, who joined his sisters Ariel, 14, and Ava, 12, in the competition, presented a Boston Cream Pie Pancake: Two stacks, with vanilla cream in between and melted chocolate ganache on top.
"The pancakes cooked faster than what he expected, so I think he was frustrated," said his mom, Destiny. "He always gets an adrenaline rush, though."
And the youngest of the competitors leaned toward traditional favorites.
Caleb McCullough, 6, of Oklahoma City, sprinkled chocolate chips into his batter and then sang his ABC's four times before turning his flapjack. Another two rounds through and his entry was done.
"Fliparoo!" he said, dumping his masterpiece onto the judge's plate.
"Oh yeah, I forgot my whipped cream. Do I shake it up first?"
His grandmother, Sharon Smith, a kitchen assistant for the competition, nodded, and so McCullough sprayed about half the can on top.
"Oops, I think I put a little too much on it."
Cooking contests were once a main attraction at the state fair, but like canning and sewing contests, they lost some sparkle when compared with carnival rides and big-ticket entertainment events, Nortz said.
Other contests
Other fair cooking contests this year involved grilled cheese, casseroles, baked goods and Spam.
For both adults and children, the competitions are about much more than food, Nortz said. Behind the range, while the judges look on, the chefs learn composure under pressure, confidence, and how to adjust to the unforeseen.
"And with the cooking channels it's had resurgence in popularity, especially with kids," Nortz said. "They need to know they can create their own magic in the kitchen."

Gwyneth Paltrow: "I Can Be Mean" and "Harbor Revenge"
Confirmed: Gwyneth Paltrow is a Mean Girl. Just ask her.
"Oh yes, I can be mean," she tells British Vogue (as excerpted in British paper The Telegraph). "I can cave in to gossip. I can ice people out and I definitely harbor revenge."
The 37-year old actress, wife and mom, who dispenses advice about spirituality, fitness, food and other topics in her weekly "Goop" newsletter, is frank with the magazine about her toxic feelings.
PHOTOS: Gwyneth's worst Oscar dress of all time
"I'll wake up in the morning and think, 'Ugh, I feel terrible,' and suddenly realize, 'Ah, that's why. I'm holding on to so much hate.'"
At the time of her interview, in fact, Paltrow confided, "I'm having a situation right now with a friend where I'm feeling pretty angry. But revenge is corrosive and it doesn't make me feel good."
Might that friend be Madonna?
PHOTOS: Does Gwyneth look better with or without makeup?
Often tagged as one of Paltrow's closest buddies, the 51-year-old pop star came up as Paltrow discussed her new business partner Tracy Anderson -- Madonna's former personal trainer.
"Yeah, it's good that [Tracy] doesn't train Madonna any more. It was too much. She keeps people waiting -- it takes up your whole day," Paltrow sniped.
PHOTOS: Look back on these memorable catfights
Paltrow said that she and Anderson plan to open a London exercise studio later this year. Anderson helped the Oscar winner lose 20 pounds after the birth of son Moses, who turns four this week. (He's her second child with husband Chris Martin of Coldplay; daughter Apple is 5.)
"I had to work hard to get it like this," Paltrow says of her svelte shape. "But now I'm here it's so great because I don't have to think about it. I can just enjoy life. What a relief is that."
PHOTOS: Incredible post-baby bodies
She adds: "I can eat what I want, as long as I exercise, which is just as well, because if I put the word' diet' into my brain, I immediately gain a stone [i.e. 14 pounds]."

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (Dec. 1, 2012) - World AIDS Day is observed every year on the first day of December.
The World Health Organization established World AIDS Day in 1988 to provide governments, national AIDS programs, faith organizations, and individuals with an opportunity to raise awareness and focus attention on the global AIDS epidemic.
In commemoration of World AIDS Day, the Clinton Presidential Center will display the single largest traveling section of the AIDS Memorial Quilt today, December 1.
The quilt will be on display from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on the lawn of the Clinton Center.
This year's quilt display includes panels representing Arthur Ashe, Roy Cohn, Easy E, Keith Haring, Rock Hudson, Richard Hunt, Liberace, Freddie Mercury, Rudolph Nureyev, Anthony Perkins/Peter Allen, Robert Reed, Ryan White, and Pedro Zamora.
More than 100 12-by-12-ft. panels will blanket the lawn in front of the Clinton Center. The quilt panels were hand-sewn by friends and family members of HIV/AIDS victims. Panels are comprised of personalized squares and each square represents a loved one lost to AIDS.
The AIDS Memorial Quilt started in 1987 as both a memorial and a powerful visual communications tool for use in preventing new HIV infections.
The observance highlights the ongoing work of the Clinton Foundation through the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI). CHAI works to improve global health by strengthening health systems in developing countries and expanding access to life-saving treatment for HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis, and diarrhea.
THV 11's Melissa Dunbar-Gates sat down to learn about the importance of World AIDS Day with Courtney Hampton, Prevention Program Manager with the Arkansas Department of Health and Kevin Holmes the Program Manager of LaCorp.
Today more than 4.5 million people in more than 70 countries are benefiting from medicines purchased under CHAI agreements.

Pain during sexual intercourse, a condition called dyspareunia, may afflict as many as one in four women. It can be particularly acute for the nearly 65 million American women who are in the menopausal and post-menopausal age range – up to 45 percent of whom, according to the North American Menopause Society (NAMS), experience pain during sex. Infections and dryness are among the most common causes of this problem, which can include chronic yeast infections and bacterial vaginosis, both of which often reflect an imbalance of the yeast and bacteria to promote vaginal health.
"Many women are reluctant to discuss sexual health issues with their doctor, and clinicians may be hesitant to broach the subject," says Dr. Michael Krychman, sexual medicine gynecologist, expert in survivorship medicine and author of many books including: 100 Questions & Answers about Women's Sexual Wellness and Vitality, and 100 Questions & Answers about Breast Cancer Sensuality, Sexuality and Intimacy. "As a result, women often live with discomfort, believing that the clinician will be uncomfortable discussing the problem, or that this is 'normal' for an aging woman, or that no treatment options are available. None of this is the case, particularly given the effectiveness of over-the-counter non-hormonal solutions that normalize pH."
Dr. Krychman helps couples overcome challenges to intimacy posed by life-changing events such as cancer, fertility problems and menopause, by working with the latest treatment options available to enhance individual quality of life. Dr. Krychman emphasizes the importance of maintaining a balanced pH (which refers to the vagina's acidity level) to avoid chronic infections that can accompany dyspareunia. A vaginal pH of 3.5 - 4.5 indicates that there is a proper balance of beneficial bacteria (lactobacilli) and no overgrowth of the bad bacteria that can cause odor, irritation and in many instances, infection.
"There are over-the-counter products like RepHresh Vaginal Gel that enable women of any age to restore pH to its optimum balance of 4.3 and avoid infection that can lead to dyspareunia," Dr. Krychman adds. "Too many women suffer in silence with low libido or painful sex because the conversation is taboo; we must break the silence and offer women real, easy to access solutions. The ready availability of products empowers women to take positive steps and enhance their sexual well-being."

A new species of saurolophine hadrosaurid dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous of the Pacific coast of North America
We describe and re−evaluate the systematics of specimens from the Maastrichtian Moreno Formation of California (western USA) as a new species of Saurolophus, the only known genus of hadrosaurid dinosaur widespread in Asia and North America. Recognition of this new species adds substantially to the record of the taxonomic diversity of these animals west of the Rocky Mountains. The new species, Saurolophus morrisi, is diagnosed by the possession of a postorbital having ornamentation in form of wide oblique groove on jugal process. Placement of this new species in Saurolophus considerably expands the distribution of this genus, although this referral is arbitrary since phylogenetic analysis places the new species outside of the clade formed by Saurolophus osborni and Saurolophus angustirostris. However, recognition of a new, endemic Californian hadrosaurid, especially one so closely related to both Asian and North American species, may have implications for future studies of both the internal biogeography of Western North America, and the history of exchange with Asia.
Key words: Dinosauria, Hadrosauridae, Saurolophinae, evolution, phylogenetics, Cretaceous, North America.

To help fund the $940 billion health care overhaul, a 10% tax on individuals receiving indoor tanning services was tacked on, and the initiative is expected to generate $2.7 billion over ten years. The tax has been in effect for a little over one week.
In an opinion piece by Natasha Altamirano on CNN, she says:
The health risks of indoor tanning are often cited as a justification for taxing it, but most of the burden of any related health costs falls on the individual rather than the public at large. Those in favor of a tanning tax…are seemingly arguing in favor of government intervention into people's individual choices regarding their bodies, as if people don't know tanning or smoking or eating fatty foods is bad for them and they need the government to step in and discourage it.
Altamirano goes on to say the tax will hurt small salons — 18,000 nationwide.
Most of these small businesses are owned by women, according to a trade association. "The association also notes that health clubs that offer indoor tanning services are exempt from the tax."
How has this new tax affected YOUR salon? Leave your comments below.

Doctor Kracker
Inspired by the delicious traditional flatbreads of Germany, Dr. Kracker crackers are made with a blend of nature's best organic whole grains and seeds, then yeast-raised and artisan-baked to perfect crispness. Dr. Kracker makes sure that every bite of every cracker bursts with texture, character, and gusto. It's everything you always wanted in a cracker.
These bite-sized Snacker Krackers are great for party trays, as an alternative to croutons on salads, and a hearty accompaniment to soups, stews, and other savory hot bowls of good food.
Klassic 3 Seed: In Germany, flax, sunflower, and sesame seeds are a classic mix for crusty breakfast rolls. The cracker version of this old-world staple, with its distinct, nutty flax flavor, is an excellent base for nut butters, cheeses, avocado, and deli meats.
Pumpkin Seed Cheddar: This cracker is toasted while it's baking to coax the "wow" out of those delicious organic pumpkin seeds, and to get that the most out of that unique, extra-crispy toasted cheddar flavor.
Seeded Spelt: Rich, buttery organic sunflower seeds blend fantastically with nutty, earthy organic sesame seeds. Organic spelt flour provides a slightly sweeter flavor than usual wheat flour, making this extra crisp cracker especially delicious all by itself or with peanut and almond butters, jam or marmalade.
Seedlander: Millet-crunchy and molasses-sweet, Seedlander Kracker is baked with specially milled, 100% whole grain organic spelt flour, combined with organic pumpkin seeds, millet, sesame, flax, and poppy seeds. Its sturdy texture and nutty, slightly sweet flavor make it the perfect cracker for cheese and fruit plates and creamy dips and spreads.

Technology critical in timely stroke treatment
July 02, 2009
Telestroke suites give patients in three more communities quick access to specialists
AHS Communications
New technology that links stroke patients to stroke specialists in Edmonton and Calgary is now in use at three more health care facilities in northern Alberta.
Telestroke suites were activated this spring at the Northern Lights Regional Health Centre in Fort McMurray, Peace River Community Health Centre and Lloydminster Hospital.
Telestroke uses Telehealth videoconferencing and CT image-sharing technology to provide rapid access to evaluation by a stroke specialist.
"When someone has a stroke, time is critical," says Dr. Tim Watson, a stroke neurologist in Calgary. "The sooner you can be treated with clot-busting therapy, the greater your chance of surviving without disabling brain damage."
Clot-busting drugs that can greatly reduce the disability resulting from a stroke must be administered within 41/2 hours of symptom onset.
Jennine Barr, a stroke service planner based in Grande Prairie, says the service gives patients a better chance of getting the medication that can help them recover, within the time they'll need it.
"Stroke specialists can make a better judgment call with Telestroke than they can over the phone," Barr says.
The three new Telestroke suites are a part of the Alberta Provincial Stroke Strategy's efforts to ensure the technology and processes are in place to allow Telestroke consultations to occur between primary stroke centres located across Alberta and the province's two comprehensive stroke centres: the University of Alberta Hospital in Edmonton and Foothills Medical Centre in Calgary.
The U of A Hospital serves the primary stroke centres based in Cold Lake, Hinton, Camrose, Wainwright, Grande Prairie, Peace River, Fort McMurray, Lloydminster and Red Deer.
Foothills Medical Centre serves primary stroke centres in Medicine Hat, Lethbridge and Drumheller.
Stroke specialists can diagnose a patient's condition and recommend a plan of care by conducting a visual examination of the patient on the screen while reading the patient's CT scan on an adjacent computer monitor.
Local doctors are thrilled to have access to this technology, says Carol Benson, nursing supervisor in the Peace River Community Health Centre's emergency department, where the Telestroke equipment is located.
"During our trial runs, our doctors had the neurologist up on the screen and not only could they talk to him, the neurologist was able to watch the patient," she says.
The Telestroke technology is an example of bringing service to the patient and cutting down on travel.
Benson says that's especially important for patients in remote rural areas.
Shy Amlani, Alberta Health Services' Stroke Program Manager for the Edmonton area, says patient access to acute stroke care is second-to-none through Telestroke.
"In the past, patients would have needed to be transferred to Edmonton for care and now they no longer need to be because they can receive that care in Lloydminster, Peace River or Fort McMurray," Amlani says.

Mohanam update
During the annual festival season of Dec '01/Jan '02, Mohanam cultural centre offered a two-days programme for the children and youth of the villages. Some 150 boys and girls gathered to celebrate the finishing of the first term of the ongoing classes in Bharat Natiyam, classical singing, drawing and sculpture and martial arts. Each class gave a presentation to visiting children from the AVAA- Saturday Arts camp, who in their turn promised to invite all the Mohanam children to their own programme in a few months time. It was a delight to see the two groups of eager and enthusiast village children come together for two days, and mingle during exercises with voice, gestures and mime.
Heritage centre
The Mohanam house with its lovely courtyard - which now that the major renovation and the work in the garden and grounds is accomplished has the potential in developing into a 'heritage centre' within the Auroville bioregion - was decorated with an exhibition of children's art work from the last big Art camp which was held here in November. And some of the villages' handicraft units displayed samples of their products to the visitors.
Distinguished guest
A well-known painter, Mr A.Vishvan from Coromandel Art Village (near Mahabalipuram) opened the exhibition, and everyone was proud to receive such a distinguished guest in a small local village. The artist gave an inspiring speech and shared his know-how and approach to art education with a demonstration in painting in a bright and dynamic colour-play.
Varied programme
Apart from all the kids' presentations and exercises, there were educational videos, a classical Karnatic concert, raga music, educational videos, presentations of classic and folk dance, and Meenakshi gave a talk on 'Reflections on Heritage'. Just at that time, there was a seminar in Auroville introducing the art of tribal artists from different places in India. Mohanam took the chance and invited them to help beautify the place. Kalyaniji from Rajasthan painted a Hanuman on the adjoining temple wall, and Dilip from Maharashtra did one of those well-known Warli paintings depicting village life; it became a beautiful mural.
It is hoped and wished by all that Mohanam will continue with its happy work and important contribution in furthering the cultural life in Auroville's neighbourhood and bioregion.

Law Commencement Speaker Announced
The holder of the highest judicial post in the Northern Mariana Islands will be the commencement speaker for Santa Clara University School of Law's Class of 2010.
Miguel S. Demapan, the chief justice of the Supreme Court of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), will be the honored speaker at SCU Law's commencement ceremony on Saturday, May 22 at 9:30 a.m. in the Mission Gardens.
In his role as a former Superior Court judge and as the current chief justice, Demapan has presided over and written rulings on key issues for the CNMI, including cases of government bribery and abuse of power. He also recently oversaw an innovative movement to push home-foreclosure cases into mediation, rather than the courts, to help resolve one of the CNMI's top social crises.
Demapan, who received his J.D. from Santa Clara University Law School in 1985, took his current post in 1999, just 11 years after the CNMI Supreme Court was established as the highest body in the islands' post-WWII judicial system. He is the third jurist to hold this position. Read more.

"He who closes his ears to the views of others shows little confidence in the integrity of his own views"
"I am afraid to show you who I really am, because if I show you who I really am, you might not like it--and that's all I got."
"Action is a great restorer and builder of confidence. Inaction is not only the result, but the cause, of fear. Perhaps the action you take will be successful; perhaps different action or adjustments will have to follow. But any action is better than no action at all."
"There is a difference between conceit and confidence. Conceit is bragging about yourself. Confidence means you believe you can get the job done."
"If you once forfeit the confidence of your fellow citizens, you can never regain their respect and esteem. It is true that you may fool all of the people some of the time; you can even fool some of the people all of the time; but you can't fool all of the people all of the time."

Check out this original UFC 1 ad from 1993!
Check out this classic ad from the December 1993 issue of "Black Belt Magazine", which featured this full-page ad for the premiere event of the Ultimate Fighting Championship!
"Who will be the Ultimate Fighter?" this ad asks, which is practically the same ad campaign used today for the UFC's reality show, "The Ultimate Fighter." The picture in this advertisement looks like a screen-capture from a vale tudo match, since the first event had not yet debuted on November 12. No matches are listed here, but various styles are, ranging from sumo, kickboxing, tae kwon do, savate, and draka… which I have never heard of until now. Interesting to note that while jiu-jitsu appears, it does not explicitly say Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. BJJ was still an enigma at the time, but even as far back as 1989 the style had been gaining interest in the inner circle of martial arts, heightened by the Gracie Challenge which was in full swing by this era.
This issue of "Black Belt" also featured an interview with Chuck Norris discussing his brand-new TV show, "Walker: Texas Ranger," an article about Linda Lee Caldwell suing Crowvision after the wrongful death of her son, Brandon Lee, on the set of "The Crow," and instructional sections on Karate counter-strikes and Tae Kwon Do spinning kicks.
UPDATE: According to the original Executive Producer of the UFC from the first event through UFC 21, Campbell McLaren, the company used a stock photo for the image above, since the magazines needed the ad before they had confirmed any fighters. When asked by this reporter as to what Draka was, McLaren stated, "Draka was supposedly a russian kick boxing plus grappling style. At one point I had a brochure from the Draka organization. It sounded so cool and threatening, I had to use it."
