By JENNIFER HUGET
Washington Post
I've written about how challenging it was for even a registered dietitian to plan a day's meals based on the federal government's dietary guidelines. If a pro found it hard to wrestle all those Recommended Dietary Allowances and Adequate Intakes into a reasonable meal plan, how on Earth are we amateurs supposed to do that?
Help may be on the way. A panel of scientists, nutritionists, epidemiologists and physicians is working to revise the document known as the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, which is updated every five years. Assembled late last year, the panel of 13 is charged with reviewing the best scientific evidence and using that information to craft the 2010 guidelines.
The Dietary Guidelines serve as the springboard for federal nutrition policy, including school lunch programs, and are the source of such nutrition-education devices as My Pyramid. The American Dietetic Association bases its policies on the guidelines, too.
In addition to consulting the scientific literature, the panel is soliciting advice from experts on how to make the new guidelines better serve the public.
Among those experts is Adam Drewnowski, an epidemiologist at the University of Washington's Center for Public Health Nutrition, who answered these questions for us.
What major change would you like to see in the guidelines?
My hope is that they will at least take the economics of nutrition into account, really think through about real foods for real people. Dietary choices are economic decisions, like everything else.
In some cases, past dietary guidelines have been budget-independent, recommending steel-cut oats and imported olive oil. It's all good, but I think now people are walking around saying, "Who, me? With what?" Many good foods cost more — but they don't have to. I'd like to see a focus on affordable, nutrient-rich foods by category. They do exist; not everything nutritious is expensive.
For instance, with vegetables the focus has been on fresh salad greens. But there are cheaper vegetables that provide a whole range of nutrients: cabbage, carrots, potatoes. Potatoes have been completely ignored, but they're very nutritious, low-calorie, full of potassium and fiber, and low-cost. And it's hard to beat the nutrients-per-cost of beans, eggs and milk, especially powdered milk, canned tuna, soups. . . . We need to advise people what those foods are, where you can get them and how to cook them.
It's a diet for a new Depression. Foods we've always known are good and nutritious — and inexpensive.
What about delicious?
Unless we aid the public in identifying foods that are nutrient-rich and affordable — and are enjoyable in the mainstream of the American diet — none of this will work.
There's no point telling people to buy five pounds of lentils and eat lentils for a week. Or recommending that people eat Brussels sprouts. That's very nice — I love Brussels sprouts. But will most people eat them?
Not every food you consume has to be (the most nutritious), but the combination (of some more nutritious foods with others), we hope, will lead to a better diet. With Mrs. Robinson (Michelle Obama's mother) living in the White House, I have high hopes. She says, if you want fried chicken, have fried chicken. (He laughs.) She's very pragmatic.
When we want to change the population's diet for the better, everybody says stop eating oils, sugar, and go with leafy greens. That's dramatic. Instead, nudge your diet toward foods that are more rich in nutrients of interest.
Is steering people toward affordable, nutritious foods enough to get everyone eating healthfully?
No. You have to know something about nutrition — and you have to know how to cook. It takes a bit of time, but not an inordinate amount.
In addition to time, though, it takes some education, cooking skills, culinary culture and infrastructure: pots, pans, a stove. For a lot of people, those things are slipping out of reach.
Eating well is a matter of knowledge, money and time. Some people are zero for three.

Even with a start that smelled like flowers, deterioration threatened.
The Boston Celtics put together a nice first half Monday night against the Memphis Grizzlies at FedEx Forum, but the Celtics' first three games taught us maybe they could not sustain the solid performance.
"More of the same," head coach Brad Stevens requested of his team at halftime, knowing if Boston could just hold on he would have his first NBA victory.
But the Celtics could not. Despite a fierce resolve while fighting for their first victory, they failed to stop an improbable Jerryd Bayless outburst in the fourth quarter and lost, 95-88, to fall to 0-4.
Down 91-88 in the final minute, both Jared Sullinger and Jeff Green missed 3-pointers that could have tied the score. The Celtics had to foul Mike Conley, who hit two free throws with 15.4 seconds left. Two more charity shots by Bayless (15 points, all in the fourth) provided the final score.
Again, Boston's offense failed in the fourth quarter. The Celtics have led in the final period during each of their first four games, but have not been able to hold on to any of the contests. They shot just 6-for-18 in the fourth, managing only six points over the last six minutes, and have now been outscored 109-66 in fourth quarters.
After ending the third quarter on a 15-0 run to stop Memphis' building momentum, Stevens' squad took an 80-74 lead with 8:51 left. But Bayless scored nine points over the next four and a half minutes, while Boston went 2-for-6 with two turnovers, to give Memphis the lead.
The Grizzlies, down 50-46 after the second quarter, seemed frustrated with how the first half unfolded. They increased their respected defensive pressure and quickly seized a 66-57 lead. The Celtics could have folded. Heck, everyone watching probably expected them to. They'd already lost tough games on three straight occasions.
They hung in, but Stevens is no fan of moral victories.
One of the coach's moves Sunday could have provided Monday motivation: After being benched in the fourth quarter Sunday night, Jeff Green received the start per usual; he instantly made an impact with 11 first-quarter points on 3-5 shooting and 4-5 free throws. Green finished with 22 points on 6-for-12 shooting, though he did not score in the fourth.
Gerald Wallace exited midway through the third quarter after suffering a bruised right knee. Sullinger had his best game of the season with 16 points and five rebounds.
Bayless, Zach Randolph and Mike Conly each had 15 points for Memphis. Randolph and Marc Gasol (14 points) combined for 15 rebounds to help give the Grizzlies a 36-32 advantage on the glass.
Avery Bradley added 14 points for the Celtics, who again lost the turnover battle with 21 miscues. Boston is now 0-4 for the first time since 1969 -- the year after Bill Russell retired. At the time, Stevens had not yet been born.

Last night we had a 'weed' salad with our dinner!
|Our weed salad
Weed.So really it is any plant not growing where you want it to be. After 5 years of gardening and growing heirloom vegetables that naturally propagate by self seeding, we have many friendly weeds around the garden. I did not plant them, nor did I interfere with their desire to grow where they chose to germinate.
1. any plant that grows wild and profusely, esp. among cultivated plants.
|Beetroot and rainbow chard self sown all over the place. I did not plant them in the pot!
|Lambs tongue lettuce in my onion/carrot patch
To cap it all off, I will leave you with the conversation around the dinner table last night. Ben was helping Kim gather the ingredients for the salad and he asked "Mum, why are you picking weeds?" Kim replied, "Ben, that is because nature left them here for us to eat". Now Ben must have thought long and hard about this statement, because at the table, after cooking Kim and I dinner that consisted of Tortellini and Basil Pesto, with said salad, he piped up and said, "Dad, we are eating weeds for dinner!" I laughed loudly because I knew exactly what he meant. Children tell it straight like it is, that's for sure.
So according to Ben, we eat weeds, and are proud of it!
Do you have any interesting 'weeds' growing in your veggie patch?

Surrey's Jason Roy: I want 2013 title to make up for heartbreaking season
Surrey batsman Jason Roy writes for Metro, explaining why he wants to challenge for the 2013 title after a difficult season of county cricket.
After a particularly hard season, we are hoping for some play in our final match of the season at Lancashire today.
Day one of our final County Championship game was rained off at Liverpool yesterday but we at least went into it knowing our Division One future was secure.
We put in a huge effort to win our last home match against Nottinghamshire by 195 runs last week, and that has guaranteed we will not go down whatever happens against Lancashire.
As you can imagine, that is a huge relief after the turbulent campaign we have endured.
The death of Tom Maynard in June hit us all hard and some found it more difficult to deal with.
We lost our captain Rory Hamilton-Brown for a few months but Gareth Batty came in as captain and we all had to dig in.
I was affected by Tom's death quite badly and know I have a lot of work to do over the winter to come back stronger next season.
We also lost Mark Ramprakash, who retired in July. I had taken a lot from Ramps in the few years I played alongside him, so I will always be thankful to him for that.
In 2013 there is no reason why we can't challenge for the title, with a few additions to the team.
With a good squad we should be able to challenge on all fronts once again.
Jason Roy writes for Metro as part of our summer of cricket in association with The Kia Oval. For more information about The Kia Oval or Surrey County Cricket Club, please visit www.kiaoval.com

Right now we have a dual xeon 2.4, 3 GB Ram, Mylex extremeraid controller, running 2 Compaq BD018122C0, 1 Seagate ST318203LC and 1 Quantum ATLAS_V_18_SCA. iostat show between 20 and 60 % user avg-cpu.

In peak times we can get up to 700-800 connections at the same time. There are quite some updates involved, without having exact numbers I'll think that we have about 70% selects and 30% updates/inserts. > If you are doing lots of writing, make SURE you have a controller that > supports battery backed cache and is configured to write-back, not > write-through. Could you recommend a certain controller type? The only battery backed one that I found on the net is the newest model from icp-vortex.com. Regards, Bjoern

"Can I rub your tummy for luck?" asks the gorgeous dime-piece before me in the lounge of the James Hotel's J Bar in Scottsdale, her smooth skin the color of Ghirardelli chocolate. As her hands are already caressing my abdominal protuberance, I figure it's best to reply in the affirmative.
"Uh, by all means," I state, as she pats my paunch like it's that of a plump jade Buddha in a Chinese curio shop.
"Here, let me kiss it, too," and she lays one on me, right about where my pothole-like belly button lies beneath my triple-XL cocktail shirt. Her name's Erica, and I know she's just playing, but damn it, let a fat man dream, y'all! Jett's been in the ladies' room nearby, losing some excess J Bar martinis. And that's when I bump into the enticing Erica amongst the booful people kickin' it in the James' lounge-like waterin' hole.
It's 11 on a Saturday night, and the spot's tight with bodies, most standing, some eased into the low chairs and couches before the gleaming bar. The crowd's spillin' out onto a patio to the right, and into the hotel's chic lobby to the left. Up above us all is a big screen showing, for some inexplicable reason, a boring-ass documentary. But that's okay, because folks at the J Bar are too into eyeing each other to pay much attention to anything else.
"Are you a model?" I query Erica Eyecandy.
"No, I work for a living," she sighs. "I'm a server at a restaurant in the Four Seasons, actually."
"I can't believe it," I say, mock-shocked. "You're not a kept woman? You don't have a retinue of servants tending to your every need?"
She flashes me a smile that'd melt platinum. "You could be one of my servants if you want," she tells me, laughing. I try to stay on track with this interview, but honestly, this chica is finer than Amerie, Brandy and Ciara combined. It's all I can do to keep from jabbering incoherently like a two-ton Ozzy Osbourne . . .
"I already am, your servant, that is," I say, grinning. "So what are you doing here tonight?"
"I come here to visit friends. I have friends who work for the bar, and there are always cool people here," she replies.
I suddenly remember that the Jettster left her purse with me and I'm holding it in my hand like I'm the freakin' Queen of England. Aaaah! I switch it behind my back as I continue conversatin' with the alluring Erica. I'm gonna clobber Jett if she ever returns.
"Yeah, people seem very chill here. How would you respond to the haters who think everyone at the J Bar is snooty?"
"I love Scottsdale for that reason," she explains. "There's nothing wrong with being snooty. There's nothing wrong with knowing that you're prettier than other people. You have to recognize your own flawlessness, and have other people recognize it, too."
Just then, the 602's AC/DC Amy Lee (you know, the Evanescence chick) sneaks up behind me and grabs her clutch.
"Thanks for holding my handbag, Kreme," Jett announces loudly as I grit my teeth. "Who's the babe?"
I make the introductions, but Erica has to bounce, and leaves me alone with the J-girl. I'm ready to wrap my hands around her neck.
"Let's get another drink before I kill you," I tell her.
"Who pissed in your Frosted Flakes?"
"You and your effin' purse," I grumble, as I signal the barkeep to set us up with two vodka-Red Bulls. "I'm not holding that shit again for you."
"Ease up, pardner. After all, who showed you the back way into this joint?"
I have to admit she's right. Out front of the James was a doorman and a line to get in, but we blew all that off by going 'round back and up the ramp to the J Bar's rear patio. Reminded of this, I reluctantly decide to let the bi-Ashlee Simpson live.
We snag our drinks, which are mostly vodka with a splash of energy drink for flava. We'd started off with a couple of the J Bar's $10 martinis, but then switched over to our old reliable libation. As we guzzle, the Jettster nudges me about a nearby couple, a tall Caucasian dood, and his companion, a petite Asian beauty in a shoulderless, turquoise-print dress. Her name is Vivian Dao. His is Jeff Blankenship. And this is their first date.
"I think it's going pretty well," he remarks of the date, as the Jettster hijacks Dao and drags her off to the side to compare designer purses.
"This is one of the top 20 most fashionable handbags," I hear Dao telling Jett, as the J-doggie-dawg oohs appreciatively, admiring more than just Dao's purse.
"So, Jeff, what do you do for a living?" I ask.
"Gay porn," he replies with an almost straight face. "So I got that going for me, which is nice."
"In case your stock portfolio tanks?" I wonder.
"Yep, then I've got a backup," he grins, joshing me. "It pays well, and I'm always up for it."
"Well, you've got the looks for it," I kid back. "What do you like about the J Bar?"
"What do I like about the J Bar?" he repeats as two fine mamas saunter by. "You mean other than what just walked past us?"
"Dumb question, I know."
"I tend to come to the same establishments over and over," Blankenship confesses. "We had dinner at Fleming's, then figured we'd have a drink or two at the J Bar. It was better earlier. Now there seems to be an influx of dudes. There were more girls before, but I'm on a date so I don't really care."
I don't argue, though to me, there appear to be plenty of hot, high-class bitches around. Right now, it's about 50-50, XX to XY. A well-heeled, attractive scene, though a little more mature than I'd expected -- late 20s to late 30s. Still, it's all good. Blankenship and I chat a bit more before he rescues his gal from Jett's grip, and they continue on their night out. Like Dao and Blankenship, people seem to be club hopping, and the J Bar's just a way station to other venues. By 12:30 a.m., it's like someone flipped a switch, and about 60 percent of the crowd vamooses for parts unknown.
Outside on the patio, there are gaggles of chickees here and there. We espy a trio over by the fireplace, Melissa, Annie and Priscilla, who seem to be enjoying their bevvies. They're a frisky lot, tumbling all over each other, and Jett's lovin' them. Melissa owns up to being a schoolteacher in Chandler, though she's from New Joisey, originally.
"Oooh, a hot schoolteacher!" exclaims the Jettster. "You're not going to be one of those who seduces her students?"
"No, no," she says, shaking her head. "I love my job. I teach first grade."
"Yeah, first grade is a little young; you gotta start teaching high school for that," squawks my salacious sidekick to Melissa's denials. "Anyone ever tell you that you've got a nice ass?"
"I'm very lucky that way," she agrees, checking herself out. "I don't have to work for it."
I can tell the switch-hittin' Jennifer Esposito is about to pounce on her prey, so I pull her off, toward a cluster of studs for a change: Ryan, Shaawb and Jason -- a Web designer, a lawyer and a Realtor, respectively.
"You fellas getting any digits this evening?" I query.
"I don't fuck around with numbers," says cocky Ryan. "I go straight for the kill."
"What do you do, bang 'em in the bathroom?" asks Jett, ever the smart-ass.
"If they're not in the car by two in the morning, they're out," responds Ryan. "No callbacks. We're not really on a mission here. We're just out having fun."
"Why the J Bar?" I inquire.
"It's got a good atmosphere. It's relaxed, not a keg party. And no Mexicans . . .
"I'm just kiddin'," he chuckles.
"My girlfriend's Mexican," explains Shaawb. "He's pullin' my leg."
I turn around and see that Jett's flirting with this Korean chick with great gams named Mindi, so I decide to hit the head. Inside, I see a couple of dudes in one stall and hear some nasal action going on. I spot one fella we were chatting with before, whom I've left out of this column for obvious reasons.
"Hey, New Times guy," he says to me. "Wanna bump?"
When in Rome, eh? Afterward, I step back outside, slightly buzzed, hoping there are no telltale signs. Jett's now on a couch, talking with this guy in a tux with curly black hair. (I don't see the Korean girl anywhere.) Says he's a Master of Architecture student at Taliesin West's Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture, and just came from an exclusive black-tie event there. I miss his name, but we'll call him Mr. Architecture.
"I'm working on this club as a design called Sexus," Mr. Architecture explains. "Think of it as smooth, sleek and sexy. It'll be a music venue, art gallery, restaurant and lounge, as well as assembly rooms for business meetings, which can be turned into private party rooms at night. It's going to be in downtown Scottsdale, or that's the idea, at least."
"You know that's the name of a Henry Miller novel, part of what he called the Rosy Crucifixion: Sexus, Plexus and Nexus," I comment.

"Yes, I've ordered that book. I'm very interested in reading it. I should state that Sexus is not going to be a strip club. I've never even been to a strip club. It's just going to be a very sexy place."
"What's a nexus?" pipes in the J-unit.
I pat her on the head. "My dear Jett, wait 'til we get back to the car. Then I'll drop trou, bend over, and show you the biggest nexus you've ever seen."

Bill Simmons is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I've ever known in my life.
Did you know he's responsible for the combustion engine, the collected works of Shakespeare, and the earth's rotation around the sun?
Read his book and find out more fun facts!
i got 100 bucks that says simmons came up with the nickname "the sports guy" for himself
what a fuckin pene
Also, the Dooze took a dump on a loaf of bread for your very own turd sandwich.
I heard Bill Simmons can just look at a woman and make her orgasm.
that's it . party is over, every gift after a personalized greeting from simmons will only end in disappointment.
Ah, Simmons, when will we ever stop being amused by his stupidity?
You should do another picture mocking Simmons. It's very creative and funny. I don't think two will be nearly enough to get across just how original you guys are.
Best gift ever is a personalized greeting?
No, sir. the best gift ever would be Benoit giving you the ol' diving headbutt.
And by diving headbutt, I mean strangle your ass to death. Then place a bible nearby.
@chris, I heard Bill Simmons can just dress like a woman and make himself orgasm.
Who invited David?
Christ, what an asshole.
No, that's Chuck Norris you're thinking about.
Man, if only there were other websites on the internet for David to explore. Too bad he's trapped here.
Isn't it obvious? BS himself invited him.
More likely, bs is him.
David reminds me of one of my distant relatives. Every family reunion, we'd pop in a comedy and she'd sit there and loudly say, over and over, "This isn't funny. You think this is funny? This isn't funny."
She died alone and unloved. Have fun with that, David.
David… STERN?
(Cue suspensful Hamster turnaround video)
If Simmons can rehash the same joke over and over and over and over… why can't KSK?
yep, these are our commenters
David –
If you came here looking for clever gimmicks like "NBA draft predictions based on Karate Kid, Part II" or movie reviews of "The longest yard", you're in the wrong place.
If you came here to come off like an asshole in front of a bunch of anonymous strangers… well played, sir. Well played.
Your SG references do not make me laugh. They make me want to strangle him even more.
@ whowillsexmutombo-
Isn't the point of this blog to come off like an asshole in front of anonymous strangers? That's why I love it.
Didn't meant to be a complete killjoy there, lads. I'm a big fan of ksk. Just thought that 3 out of 4 posts jabbing at Simmons' was a bit much.

The family that reads together
The group was hanging on every word, clearly enthralled by the themes and subject matter, and even intent on each gesture, facial expression and modulation of D'Anjou-Brown's voice.
Beforehand, she had been understandably nervous. She wasn't sure quite what to expect, reading aloud for the first time to 20 or so youngsters aged five and up, but the experience turned out to be a real eye-opener.
"The kids followed every word and every move of your body," says the senior adviser on philanthropy and governance for HSBC Private Bank, recalling her debut performance of Going on a Bear Hunt. "They don't care if you work for a bank; you'd just better be able to do voices and entertain them."
The reaction from both children and parents further convinced D'Anjou-Brown that her group had made the right move in deciding to support the work of Bring Me A Book (BMAB) Hong Kong.
The aim of the non-governmental organisation is to promote reading and literacy by installing small libraries of children's books in community centres, clinics and schools, generally in the lower-income districts around town.
About 120 are already operating, each with 200-plus books in both English and Chinese for kids, from infants to 12-year-olds. There are also "book bags" on loan, with a selection of five books - some with CDs - for different age groups.
"It is easy to give books to people, but in terms of impact it is about teaching parents, social workers and education specialists to make reading to children a daily ritual," says Pia Wong, BMAB's executive director in Hong Kong.
"Part of the commitment for every library is to run workshops to train teachers, parents and volunteers about reading aloud. We show the science behind why it is important for brain development in children and want parents to share their reactions and form their own little groups."
Wong is only too aware of the challenges in getting this message across - from long working hours and single-parent families to the usual electronic distractions, prevailing "non-literary" attitudes, and failure to recognise how reading aloud to youngsters significantly strengthens parent-child bonding.
"We are trying to change a mindset ... little by little," says Wong. "Too often, [parents] just don't realise how important it is to nurture this interest from an early age. It is pretty basic, and you can't outsource bonding."
HSBC has given both financial and practical support, with fundraising activities, around 40 employees taking part in "read aloud" training, and volunteer readers. It is also sponsoring the Feng Zikai picture book exhibition at Central Library from mid-July to mid-August and the related award to promote high-quality picture books in Chinese.
"We like that this programme has very broad appeal and reinforces relationships," D'Anjou-Brown says.
Read all about it
- An international study in 2006 showed that only 26 per cent of Hong Kong parents engage with their children in pre-school literacy activity
- Compared with other major cities around the world, Hong Kong has a particularly low number of books in homes and schools
- Volunteers willing to read to small groups of four children on a regular basis are always welcome

b. March 12, 1928
"I think we should all live on the precipice of life, as fully and as dangerously as possible."
Edward Albee is a celebrated playwright who won three Pulitzer Prizes and three Tony Awards.
"Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?," his first Broadway play, helped establish Albee as one of America's greatest playwrights.
Born Edward Harvey in Washington D.C., he was adopted as an infant by the prominent Albee family of New York. The family's ownership of a national theater chain nurtured Albee's passion for the arts.
Albee and his parents were constantly at odds over his desire to pursue a career in theater. After failing out of two private schools, he graduated high school and matriculated to Trinity College.
In 1949, Albee dropped out of Trinity to pursue a career in writing. He moved to Greenwich Village, an artistic epicenter. Albee experimented with writing poetry and short fiction before finding a niche in playwriting.
Albee's early Off-Broadway shows received praise for their unconventional themes, including homoeroticism. He made his Broadway debut with "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?," which earned Albee his first Tony Award.
Albee has written more than 25 plays. His willingness to experiment with various styles earned him Pulitzer Prizes for "A Delicate Balance," "Seascape" and "Three Tall Women." He received two additional Tony Awards for "The Goat, or Who is Sylvia?" and a revival of "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?"
Since moving to Greenwich Village, he has lived an openly gay life. Recognized for pioneering the depiction of homosexuality on stage, Albee weaves same-sex relationships throughout his work.
He lived for 35 years with Jonathan Winters, his partner, until Winters's death in 2005. Albee received a Special Tony Lifetime Achievement Award and The Academy of Achievement's Golden Plate Award for exceptional accomplishment in the arts.
Zackie Achmat
South African Activist
b. March 21, 1962
"The desire to know requires courage, patience and persistence because freedom, dignity and equality depend on it."
Zackie Achmat is a South African activist whose work has focused on people living with HIV/AIDS, the gay community and combating apartheid. He is a Nobel Peace Prize nominee, and a recipient of the Desmond Tutu Leadership Award and the Nelson Mandela Award for Health and Human Rights.
Achmat was raised in Cape Town, South Africa. At age 14, he participated in the 1976 anti-apartheid uprising in Soweto. As an adolescent, he assisted the African National Congress by organizing his peers. He continued to fight against apartheid until its end in 1994.
Achmat became active in South Africa's gay community and founded the National Coalition for Gay and Lesbian Equality. In 2000, he directed the documentary "Apostles of Civilised Vice," chronicling the history of the gay community in South Africa.
In the late 1990s, Achmat was diagnosed as HIV-positive. It was difficult for him to obtain treatment or medications in South Africa, which had one of the highest rates of infection.
Achmat helped create the Treatment Action Campaign (TAC). TAC led campaigns against the South African government, which was reluctant to get involved with the epidemic in part because of the expense and also because it did not consider AIDS a significant problem. By organizing protests, Achmat demanded that the government take action to provide AIDS education, prevention and resources for HIV-positive citizens.
When pharmaceutical companies filed a lawsuit to block the import of cheaper HIV medications, Achmat and TAC led a successful campaign that thwarted their efforts. Achmat continued to lobby for price reductions and increased access to affordable, generic HIV drugs.
Despite being able to afford antiretroviral medications, Achmat refused to take the drugs until they became available to all South Africans. When asked about this decision, he explained, "I don't think it's noble; I think it's dumb. But it's a conscience issue. It's not something I advocate for anyone else." In 2003, the South African government began providing antiretroviral medications to a greater portion of the country.
Achmat cofounded ABIGALE (Association of Bisexuals, Gays, and Lesbians) and Ndifuna Ukwazi (Dare to Know), an education-based organization. Nelson Mandela called Achmat a national hero.Gwen AraujoTransgender Hero
b. February 24, 1985
d. October 3, 2002
"Live as though this is your last day."
Gwen Araujo was a transgender teen who was the victim of a brutal murder. Her attack brought national attention to the issue of violence against transgender people.
Born in the San Francisco Bay area, Edward Araujo Jr. underwent hormone therapy in high school and adopted the name Gwen Amber Rose Araujo. She left school because of incessant bullying and ridicule.
The night Araujo was murdered, she attended a party at the home of Jose Merél. According to police reports, there were four young men involved in the attack— Michael Magidson, Jose Merél, Jaron Nabors and Jason Casarez. At trial, Nabors testified that Araujo had consensual sex with a few of the men before it was revealed that she was biologically male. Araujo was beaten and strangled to death, hog-tied, wrapped in a blanket and buried in the Sierra Nevada foothills.
In exchange for his testimony against the other defendants, Nabors pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter. The other three men, charged with first-degree murder and committing a hate crime, invoked the transgender "panic defense," claiming that the victim provoked the attack by having sex under false pretenses. By invoking this defense, Magidson and Merél were convicted of second-degree murder and acquitted of the hate crime. Casarez pleaded no contest to voluntary manslaughter.
Araujo's murder helped bring awareness to the incidence of violence against transgender people and the "panic defense." In 2006, California enacted the Gwen Araujo Justice for Victims Act. The law allows a judge to instruct jurors not to consider their anti-LGBT biases during deliberations. That same year, Lifetime aired an original movie, "A Girl Like Me: The Gwen Araujo Story." The case was the subject of a 2007 documentary, "Trained in the Ways of Men."
Each November, communities across the nation hold a Transgender Day of Remembrance to memorialize the dozens of transgender people like Gwen Araujo who are murdered every year.LGBTHistoryMonth.com

These are some of the findings from Who Cares Wins: The Rise of the Caring Corporation, by Havas Worldwide, which surveyed global business leaders to ascertain its findings.
It claims that despite major corporate crises like Toyota and BP, most business leaders are unprepared for changing consumer trends and still believe social media currently has a marginal or no impact on business.
This is despite the finding that 23% of adults who use social media are now willing to hit out at companies and brands online.
The report, launched at a conference in central London today (10 June), found that:
59% of business leaders believe that social media will have either a marginal or no impact on business reputation over next five years.
65% of business leaders believe that CSR as a priority is the same or higher following the economic recession.
81% of young leaders believe that multinational corporations have a duty to behave responsibly.
76% of young leaders think future business success is based on corporate transparency.
David Jones, global chief executive of Havas Worldwide and co-founder of One Young World, said: "The caring corporation is the business model of the future and it's one where doing well and doing good are one and the same.
"Business leaders need to wake up to the growing power of social media as a game changer and the emerging demand from consumers for ethically responsible brands," he added.
The report also claims that two key drivers creating change in corporate thinking are the fear of being found out and the desire to create more optimistic trading environments by addressing global issues.
Nine out of ten business leaders now believe at least some of their customers are strongly influenced by their corporate responsibility policy, while 70% see positive corporate responsibility as key in gaining a competitive advantage, recognising that those who ignore it will be at risk of falling behind in coming years.
Over three quarters of participants identified corporate responsibility as a necessary cost to their business.

Principal says Imagine charter school's F grade not fair
Are some F grades more defensible than others? The state's grading formula excluded many of the highest performing students at Imagine charter school in St. Petersburg because they were home schooled or in private schools last year, skewing the results, principal Dawn Wilson tells the Gradebook. According to Wilson, 46 of 102 third-, fourth- and fifth-graders tested on the FCAT at the first-year school did not have matching scores from last year.
"It's not particularly fair," Wilson said. "I know that sounds childish … (but) the state grading system is inherently flawed."
Imagine and Gibbs High were Pinellas County's only F schools this year.
Despite the F, Wilson said no families have left the school and, in fact, the school continues to expand. Imagine ended the spring with 350 students and has enrolled 500 for the fall, she said. "The word of mouth from our families speaks more than our school grade," she said.
This letter from Wilson to Imagine parents offers a more detailed explanation for the school's grade. A co-founder of another new Imagine school in Tallahassee offered a similar defense for its F here.

2013 in Country Music: Tragedy, Bro-Country, a Nub + Luke Bryan's Hip-Shakin'
Luke Bryan and Florida Georgia Line dominated country radio in 2013. Both were showered with awards and (deservedly) given prime slots on major awards broadcasts.
Luke Bryan and Florida Georgia Line dominated country radio in 2013. Both were showered with awards and (deservedly) given prime slots on major awards broadcasts.
Country stars who said "I do" in 2013 include Jessie James and Shooter Jennings, but a longer list got the ball rolling on wedding plans. There have been no shortage of engagements this year including the union of a new country music power couple. Check out all of the weddings and engagements form the year gone by in this love list.
It happened quite a bit in 2013. You're going along with your day and someone posts a heartwarming video to Facebook that leaves you in a puddle of tears in under 90 seconds. One minute later you're on the phone with your kids trying to say "I love you" between sniffles whimpers. There's no shame in it. Some of the best stories of the year were the most touching acts of kindness and generosity.
There's dozens of reasons why some songs fall short of becoming true country "hits." Sometimes a brilliant recording is just too edgy for mainstream radio. Sometimes an artist doesn't get a push from his or her record label. And some songs simply fall through the cracks; they get lost in the pile of new music that sits on a radio programmer's desk.
Two country deaths make this list of the 10 biggest stories of 2013. There's also one birth, one amputation, an arrest and a shiny trophy. It was a strange year, with more highs, lows, excitement and head-scratching moments than one remembers in previous years.
Often the first few months of the year are a time to dump albums with little potential, but that is not the case in 2013. The race for the best album of the year began early with new releases from Gary Allan and Tim McGraw, and has continued with strong showings from Ashley Monroe and Tim McGraw.
Country music repopulated in 2013, with almost a dozen babies born to some of the biggest singers and songwriters in the genre. Dierks Bentley, Hillary Scotty of Lady Antebellum and Garth Brooks were all stars who welcomed new members of the family; many shared adorable pictures from the little babe's first days. It will be awhile before we know if anyone got the country gene, but it seems promising. See a full list of all country babies born in 2013.
Almost all of the singers on our Sexiest Male Country Stars of 2013 list are as dedicated to their physical fitness as they are to their music. Muscles grow larger, shirts get tighter, jeans begin to fit like a wetsuit. Go ahead and drink these country studs in -- they're not bashful.
The best music videos of 2013 pack a two-hour movie's worth of drama into three to six minutes of silent action. In most cases, there's no dialogue to aid the story telling. The artist and his or her director have to rely on the song and sharp acting to get a message through to fans. These 10 videos have done that better than any others this year.
It's been a wild year in country music. There have been tragedies and triumphs, reasons to celebrate and devastating moments sadness. There have been brilliant new songs and albums, and others that make fine coasters. Many tweets and videos brought a tear to ones eye, while others were cringe-worthy. Here are the 10 things we're thankful for this Thanksgiving. Be sure to share yours when you're done reading.

UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (Oct. 19)
General Assembly President Edvard I. Hambro of Norway, who personally favors "quiet diplomacy" toward a Mideast solution, said today that "it would be very bad indeed for the United Nations if the membership should refuse to discuss urgent matters because they might lead to disagreement." He spoke at an Editors' Round-table in reference to an Assembly debate on the Mideast that is expected to get under way Oct. 26 or 27. It was requested by Egyptian Ambassador Mohammed H. el-Zayyat. "The worst possible thing for the United Nations." he said, "is if we don't even discuss the issues in front of the world. People listen to what is said in the United Nations, and they listen not only to what is said but to what is not said, and the echo of silence might be as dangerous as the echo of disagreement." Dr. Hambro added that "even if the debate should be acrimonious and should be disagreeable and difficult, it is still just a picture of the international community as it is today, and that is one of the realities we will have to face." Dr. Hambro, who made substantially the same observations on NBC-TV's "Meet the Press" Sunday, is obliged to schedule a debate if members ask for it. The timing of such a debate is up to him. In his television interview Mr. Hambro also declared: "I know there are people who regret this (discussion in the UN) and feel that nothing good can come of it. But we must realize also that it would be a cause for deep regret if the greatest issues were not even discussed in the General Assembly because they were too burning and too difficult."
A spokesman for the Israeli Mission said the Egyptian request added another obstacle to the establishment of peace in the Mideast and the resumption of the peace talks under Ambassador Gunnar V. Jarring. The United States, while favoring "quiet diplomacy." has not publicly expressed "no objection" to the debate. Britain fears that "extreme" remarks in such a confrontation would not be conducive to progress toward agreement. It is understood that Britain would consider the polarization of the Assembly and the failure to formulate a consensus declaration to be deplorable. President Kenneth D. Kaunda of Zambia urged today that the United Nations bring about a just peace "for all the people" in the Middle East. Addressing the commemorative session of the General Assembly, Mr. Kaunda emphasized that "all the people" included the Palestinians. Israel should abide by the provisions of Security Council Resolution 242, declared the leader of Zambia, an African nation that has been critical of Israeli interpretations of the resolution's provision on withdrawal from occupied Arab territories.
Welcoming the Mideast cease-fire, Mr. Kaunda called on the major powers to agree on "a policy of reciprocal abstention from local conflicts." The UN, he declared, should "not only seek corrective measures but should take preventive measures" in the interest of peace. The African diplomat also recommended avoidance by the permanent members of the Security Council of misuse of their veto powers. "The outlook for the seventies is bleak." he contended, adding that unless the smaller nations "unite to defend their own interests by strengthening the United Nations." they will "fall victim to regional conflicts, the flames of which will be fanned from the major capitals of the world." Secretary of State William P. Rogers was to meet again in New York tonight with Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei A. Gromyko, with whom he had a discouraging meeting last Friday. Also present will be U.S. Ambassador Charles W. Yost, Assistant Secretary of State Joseph J. Sisco and Donald C. Bergus, the U.S. representative in Cairo. Dr. Jarring and Dr. Hambro will attend a formal dinner tonight tendered by Israeli Ambassador Yosef Tekoah. British Prime Minister Edward Heath will confer with Mr. Rogers tomorrow morning and expects to meet also with Dr. Jarring and with Foreign Minister Mahmoud Riad of Egypt. On Friday, Secretary General U Thant will host a dinner for the Big Four Foreign Ministers and UN ambassadors, with Dr. Jarring also invited.

That's because the staff at Gorstage Cemetery in Weverham, Cheshire told Stanley Brown he could not put more than one bunch of flowers on his wife's grave, because they're obstructions.
Staff told Stanley that the flowers kept the landscapers from cutting the grass, and might cause them to trip.
Good old Health and Safety. We knew you could protect us from overly sensitive displays of lifelong love.
Brown was married for 57 years, and his wife died last December. He has tended her grave four times a day, every day.
"This has really upset me and the whole family. They all live within a three-mile radius and they all want to lay flowers at Violet's grave," Stanley told The (London) Times. "If I lay flowers, and one of my children or grandchildren also want to pay their respects and lay flowers, they can't because it's against the rules.
The problems started after Brown placed £20 of roses on his wife's gave one day. The following day, he found them stuffed in a landscaper's shed. A few days later, he received a letter from the Weaverham, Cuddington and Acton Bridge cemetery committee telling him they would
Cemetery committee chairman John Freeman sniveled to the Times, "Plot owners are only allowed room for a single set of flowers due to the layout and upkeep of the cemetery. One or two people have built gardens in front of the headstones which is what breaks the rules and doesn't hep the gardener when he is mowing. We went up last week and removed a couple of obstructions and put them in a room."
"The committee go on about the gardener cutting grass at the cemetery but it has only been cut three times in the past year," Stanley said. "My sons and my granddaughter's boyfriend help out and cut the grass from the sides of the graves."
Sounds like the cemetery might be falling down on the job, although that may have just been a bouquet of flowers.
I would think that if the Weaverham Cemetery really cared about the safety of its workers, they would hire people who were a little more sure on their feet and were not immediately waylaid anytime someone left a bouquet of flowers for their loved ones.
Seriously? Seriously, Weaverham, Cuddington and Acton Bridge cemetery? Tripping is the best you can come up with?
You don't like that people show "too many" symbols of love and care to their family, so you come up with what may possibly be the dumbest excuse in the history of dumb excuses. "Our gardeners might trip on them." Is that the best you can do?
Or do you hire morons and the severely unstable? I'm all for helping people who need a break, but honest to God, if you're going to trust people to operate machinery that will chop off a man's foot at 100 miles an hour, you need to rethink whether you hire the ones who easily stumble over a bunch of flowers.
Otherwise, leave the man's flowers alone. Keep your rules for yourselves, and try to show the same honor and dignity to the living as Stanley Brown wants to show to his wife. Or at least pretend you still have a heart.

REDLANDS>> Police and city officials met with business owners and residents Thursday to discuss a proposed ordinance that would regulate alcohol sales in the city, which left some business owners concerned about how their businesses would be impacted.
A proposed Alcohol Beverage Sales Establishment regulation, commonly referred to as a Deemed Approved Ordinance, is being proposed by police and community advocates to be used in seeking compliance from businesses that have a high volume of complaints or calls for service related to alcohol sales.
"There's a lot of misinformation I think about this issue," said Redlands Police Commander Chris Catren.
Several business owners spoke during the City Council meeting on May 6 when the council was considering adoption of the ordinance.
In response to the many questions and concerns posed by the business owners, the council agreed to postpone their decision and directed city staff and the police department to meet with them to clarify misinformation.
Following Thursday's two-hour informational meeting, some business owners in the audience still had concerns about the potential impact the ordinance could have on their businesses. They had even suggested meeting with officials to work on some of the details of the ordinance.
Police Chief Mark Garcia said he will be meeting with city officials to discuss where to go from there, taking into consideration the questions and concerns shared Thursday.
"I thank you for the lively give and take. I think it was positive for us," Garcia said to the audience.
Under the proposed ordinance, existing businesses that sell alcohol in the city would be considered "deemed approved" and exempt unless they make a change in their business operations or fall out of compliance with several conditions.
The regulations include compliance with all existing local, state and federal laws; training for employees in an approved "Responsible Beverage Sales" course; upkeep and operating practices that are compatible and do not adversely affect surrounding properties and neighborhoods; no repeated nuisance activities within or in close proximity to the premises; and the establishment does not adversely affect or endanger people living, working or visiting in the surrounding area.
The ordinance would include new businesses proposing to sell alcohol in the city, except for restaurants that sell food and alcohol.
Affected would be sellers of alcohol specifically, including liquor stores, grocery stores, convenience stores, bars, retail sales establishments, specialty food markets, beer and wine stores, bowling allies and social halls.
These types of businesses that are not already open in the city must obtain a conditional use permit and are subject to certain conditions.
Bars and nightclubs in the city with type 48 ABC licenses, which sell alcohol for consumption on site and are not required to sell food, will be impacted.
Restaurants with type 47 ABC licenses are considered exempt from the ordinance all together. Fast food restaurants and one-time events are also exempt from the ordinance.
Businesses with Alcoholic Beverage Control licenses would still be regulated by ABC officials, but Redlands Police would use the ordinance as a tool to gain compliance from businesses who have numerous "substantiated" complaints or calls for police service.
Through the ordinance, police or code enforcement officers would investigate a business following a high volume of "substantiated" complaints or police calls for service to a business that sells alcohol, Catren said.
If any violations are found, the business would have 30 days to comply. From there, if they do not comply, the case would be assigned to an arbitrator whose decision would be sent to the Planning Commission then on to the City Council.
"(Local control) is the element we're missing as your police department, as your city, to help maintain public safety as related to alcohol sales," Catren said.
There are no fees associated with the ordinance, but there is a fee associated with obtaining a conditional use permit.
An element in the ordinance that would allow the Planning Commission to request a new business to install surveillance cameras in their business was removed due to strong opposition from some business owners.
Existing businesses will not be required to apply for a new conditional use permit, Catren said.
Catren said benefits of the ordinance include decreasing the number of alcohol sales to minors, decreasing businesses insurance claims and liability, and creating a relationship between the business owners and city officials.
Former Orange County nightclub owner Gregg Hanour addressed the audience on his experiences running nightclubs that served alcohol. He now serves as a consultant to businesses and cities.
Hanour shared three mistakes commonly made in the alcohol service industry: lack of documented drink recipes, over-pouring and not cutting off enough customers who are intoxicated.
He said he was able to make changes to his businesses, including more training for employees, so customers were less intoxicated, there were fewer fights and fewer calls for police service.
"The transformation lasted for 10 years and every year we got better and better at it," Hanour said.

George Soros' investment firm, Soros Fund Management, just filed a 13G with the SEC regarding shares of Harvest Natural Resources (NYSE:HNR). Per portfolio activity on January 24th, 2011, Soros has disclosed a 5.94% ownership stake in HNR with 2,008,417 shares.
This marks a 241% increase in Soros' position size as the hedge fund owned 588,100 shares at the end of September last year. In addition to Soros, one of the largest institutional holders of HNR shares is value investor Mohnish Pabrai.
Soros often takes stakes in energy and natural resource plays as we detailed his hedge fund's new stake in San Leon Energy and an increase in its position in Aurelian Oil & Gas as well.
Per Google Finance:
Harvest Natural Resources is "an international petroleum exploration and production company. The Company focuses on acquiring exploration, development and producing properties in geological basins with proven active hydrocarbon systems. The Company holds interests in Venezuela, the Gulf Coast Region of the United States through an area of mutual intent (AMI) agreement with two private third parties, the Antelope prospect in the Western United States through a joint exploration and development agreement (JEDA), and exploration acreage mainly onshore West Sulawesi in the Republic of Indonesia (Indonesia), offshore of the Republic of Gabon (Gabon), onshore in Oman and offshore of the People's Republic of China."
We'll be updating George Soros' latest portfolio in our new issue of Hedge Fund Wisdom due out in a couple of weeks.

Years and years from now, kids getting buckets in the gym at Brooklyn's Taylor-Wythe Community Center will be able to say they that they've played ball on the same exact floor as guys like Kevin Durant, Derrick Rose and Stephen Curry. Yesterday afternoon we were at the community center for a great event put on by Nike and the city of New York to unveil a brand new basketball court – the same exact floor used at Radio City Music Hall at this past summer's World Basketball Festival.
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Amar'e Stoudemire were both there for the unveiling as part of the Cornerstone initiative and Nike's partnership with the city's Department of Youth and Community Development to grow access to the sport of basketball at 25 New York City community centers.
The Swoosh has made a two-year commitment to the Cornerstone program with investments for court refurbishments, coach placement at the centers, and donations of sports equipment and product to each site. The program will be launching a middle school boys league where kids will develop not only as players but also as leaders in their neighborhoods through community service projects.
All in all, it's an incredible program. And yesterday's event was a fitting kickoff – the day featured the appearances from the Mayor and STAT, a live band and a basketball skills clinic put on by Dime's nonprofit organization, Chainlink Fundamentals for neighborhood kids.

Newry, ME – The Rockstar Energy Drink Rally Team of Antoine L'Estage from St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec and co-driver Nathalie Richard from Halifax, Nova Scotia won their third consecutive New England Forest Rally (NEFR). The team won the first six stages and took a commanding lead. As their rivals dealt with thickening dust that obstructed their views L'Estage contended with poor grip being the first on the road, sweeping away the gravel before the others had a chance to race the stage.
"It went really well," said L'Estage, "Friday is where we made our time and then tried to keep our nose clean and not make any mistakes. For us it's a great win and another great season."
L'Estage and Richard are on a string of success having recently won the last two Rally America national events and all the Canadian Rally Championship events this year.
Says Co-driver Nathalie Richard, "Since May we've had a fantastic season. Too bad we had problems at the beginning of the Rally America season. Congrats to Higgins and Drew. Looking forward to 2013!"

We've been pretty quiet about the XLinq project and the XML features in Visual Basic 9 for awhile as we focused on getting out a new LINQ CTP and planning its release in the next version of Visual Studio ("Orcas"). We're very happy to report that you can now download the current state of all the LINQ technologies.
In case you haven't been following the LINQ project, it provides a common programming model for the most common types of data, including objects, relational, and XML. It is fully integrated into the next generations of the C# and Visual Basic imperative programming languages, but offers a more declarative approach to working with data. In other words, LINQ allows you to specify what results are desired and what they should look like, as opposed to how to filter out irrelevant data and how to transform the input format to the output format. This CTP includes libraries, documentation, and examples showing how to use this approach to programming with data in several ways:
- The core LINQ functionality lets you query and update .NET objects from C# or Visual Basic.
- DLinq and LINQ over ADO.NET extends this approach to work with database systems and APIs.
- XLinq provides a LINQ-based API for working with XML
- Visual Basic 9 offers additional XML features that leverage XLinq but make XML programming even more straightforward
- ASP.NET offers templates that employ LINQ
Avner and I will post separate items in this weblog detailing the new features in the XLinq and VB / XML components that our team owns. I have quite a backlog of detailed XLinq matters that I will be discussing and seeking feedback on in my blog. In the meantime, you might find the following to be useful background resources:
S. Somasegar (the Corporate VP in charge of Developer Division) has blogged about this CTP and the new features it presents.
Erik Meijer (an architect on the XML in VB9 project) presented a paper at the XML 2005 conference explaining the mathematical foundations of the LINQ approach and its evolution in programming languages (aka, the Return of the Monoids).
You can track what the world is saying via the links at http://xlinq.net/ (NOT a Microsoft site) or the XLinq Technorati tag.
If you are not yet using Microsoft Visual Studio, remember that the free Express editions for C# and Visual Basic are available for learning about these technologies.

To get Woodside to stay, Google CEO Larry Page promised him greater responsibility. He has now made good on his promise by making Woodside CEO of Motorola.
Woodside says he was speaking with board member Ram Shriram when Page asked him to run Motorola Mobility, the company Google had just acquired for $12.5 billion. "He said, 'I know you've been looking for a challenge,'" Woodside recalls. "'I want you to run Motorola. I think you'd be great at it. Can you let me know by tonight?'"
Of course, Woodside agreed and with the acquisition of Motorola formally closing today, he is the officially the new CEO of the company.
Woodside says he has three goals for Motorola. He wants to get the division to profitability, use Google's ample engineering resources to pursue ambitious technical goals such as extending battery life and improving digital photography, and then get those innovations into Motorola devices as fast as possible.

The cameo: With Senator Kelly emerging from the sea as a mutant, Stan plays a hot dog vendor on the beach.
Is Stan the man? Although this cameo was small, it began the tradition of Stan Lee cameos that's continued for a decade and a half. 20th Century Fox acquired the rights to the X-Men characters in 1994, and Bryan Singer's movie proved that Superman and Batman weren't the only comic book stars who could pull in big profits for movie studios, helping kickstart the superhero boom.

|Fun route. Can definitely be done much faster than 8 hours car to car. The 5.8 move is easily aidable if needed although it is really only one move or so of 5.8 climbing. The climb has a bunch of pigeon crap on it, but overall, is a pretty fun route. Worth the drive and the hike.

|This route was cruisy and pretty laid back. I think the crux for us was getting to the start of the route. Leading the chimney was easy but a little spicy knowing that those bolts have seen MUCH better days. I'm doubtful that they would hold any kind of considerable fall.

Did this route last weekend with my partner. The most difficult part is finding the beginning. The descriptions we found on this site, mud-n-crud, and the Brad Young book were all accurate but still lacking in specificity. The way we approached from the high peaks trail, south of the H&L Dome we trail cut down the gravel slope and through a bit of veg. Tried to hug the wall to our left but were rebuffed by PO. Found a shoot that looked close to where the several descriptions said to begin the 4th class approach and I ended up free soloing up a 5th class shoot beneath a balanced boulder. Once up there was a tree with a blue sling and a rappel ring so I was able to belay my second. This was an additional pitch not included in the route but put us right on the actual start.
As far as the route goes, ALL of the bolts have been replaced recently. The first bolt on pitch three is a bit high, and all four are there even though you cant really see them from the deck.
Pitch four has 5 bolts now.
Pitch five has a ton of loose rock so be sure to warn you belayer. Rather than belaying off any vegetation on the top of this pitch, there is a chockstone you can sling with a shoulder length.
All in all a really interesting route with some challenging climbing. Give yourself all day just for time to spare and have a blast.

Echoing the last post, all of the bolts have been replaced, they are now shiny and solid.
At the top of the fourth pitch there is a scree filled trough and small tree to the left (which it seems others have used to belay). My partner used that tree for the belay/anchor while I followed the fourth pitch. I took a short, top-rope fall in that slick chimney, and got to the top to find the tree mostly uprooted. (See image below). There is one more smallish tree up and to the right that could probably be used to protect the fourth pitch, but as of this posting there aren't great anchors for the fourth pitch, at least if you're going without trad gear.
